You the Marine: new guy or been around awhile...
Really put in the efforts and try to learn and absorb as much knowledge as possible. If you act like you want to be there and you want to learn it will be noticed. Do not fall in with a crowd of shit-bags. This is not as easy to avoid as it sounds. You guys are young and new to the world. You'll be testing your limits and having fun " booze, girls, etc." Try never to be UA, do not fucking drink and drive. I know you'll drink under age like every one does, but be careful and don't be stupid, fights, law problems, etc. And don't be an asshole to women, WM's or otherwise. WM's a lot of them are really good women who wanted to be treated well just like you. Don't be a shit to Admin or supply, but ask questions. "Hey how come this works this way? Can you show me how to to this or that?" IF you treat the support guys well it generally helps you in the long run. Calling someone a fucking Pogue is going to cause shit feelings. Besides I knew a cook once who was so tough he could have killed a fucking platoon of grunts. You never know whose in what MOS, etc. Make freinds and be a good dude. If your friends are getting into trouble or doing stupid illegal stuff, be careful. You don't have to be a snitch, but you better not be too close either. Its best to stay away from stupid people, but at your age they are attractive on weekends.
Women: girl friends, etc.
Do not get fucking married to some home town sweet heart. Most you have had barely any sexual experience's other than chickens and hand lotion. Do not marry the first girl that give you some ass. She's just as dumb as you are, if you don't believe me ask yours or her parents!!! You should not get married until your are close to 30 years of age. Have your freedom, see what its like to be able to pick up women in bars or at the Ball, or the gym, the laundery mat, the library, the Airport, at the war, in the mall, etc. Too many guys get married because all of the idiots in there hometown do it. Or your parents did it, or there from some stupid part of the country where people instinctively make dumb decisions. You joined the fucking Corps to get away from these places, I did. Do not replicate your sorry ass life in your new life (USMC.) You are free to throw your cock around from town to town. Don't be an asshole about it, but don't be a sad sack whose married at 21 and all his buddies are out slaying ass, and your stuck in a shitty apartment with a soon to be unhappy about the loss of her freedom wife, just as your ready to go out on a float or to the war.
Let me tell you what happens a lot around the USMC. Some idiot like you can't help but bring some cute littel teenage girl all the way from where ever to good old Jacksonville or Oceanside. Yea its love man. Until she encounters the thousands or men (Marines/Civilians) who all want some of her little ass. They are not quiet about it, and they are unrelenting. Everywhere she goes she's getting checked out and ogled. Guys, imagine you got to live in a place where you are outnumbered by good looking fit women 10 to 1!! How do you think that would turn out? So you see the problem. Your fellow Marines do not care, and they want some ass, you all fall under this umbrella. Understand this and don't be a fucking rube. Many many of these guys are way better looking than you, have cars and bigger pay checks and some of them have Gold Wings and Dive Bubbles ( which means they have 12 inch dicks....lol)
Here is the truth: most of you cannot be faithful to a girl friend for very long when your young, most women are the same way. Do not take this personnel, everyones out to see what they can do, find out who they are and have some fucking excitement. Its a thrill to flirt with a lady at one of the random places I mentioned above. They feel the same way. Don't fuck up the joy of being young by being married. You don't have to be an asshole, you just have to understand the game. Its shitty to cheat on a girl friend. I'm not saying you should, but shit happens, your young and not married or accountable for it under the UCMJ.
My first marriage was when I was 28. After 9 years and 5 duty stations. I have plenty of great stories, tons of fond memories. Yes some great ones got away but they're are thousands of awesome women around, see the world and a lot of panties, don't be an insecure pussy. This was all before I ever tried to get married.
The Corps:
The Marine Corps can be a great place, or a shit place depending on your attitude. Remember we are in a draw-down, the wars are ending and shit changes fast. you may here a lot of shit talking and other stuff about this or that being bullshit. Listen to it but do not absorb it. Understand why some people are pissed off, but do not become part of the cheering section for it. By your actions you leadership from Cpl to Battalion Commander should know you as a guy that tries hard. Your young, fit and good looking, you get 3 meals a day and a decent pay check, life is pretty fucking good. Earn it. Be a stud, be competitive but don't be a dick. If you know something that will help others teach them or show them or at least try to. Ask questions about USMC stuff, learn it , write it down. If you don't understand something ask a question. Think about how to ask the question before you do it though. There is such a thing as a stupid question, its just a poorly thought out and terribly communicated version of a good question, you all know what I'm talking about.
Re-enlisting, or getting out: You only have to do two things, your job and decide if you want to re-enlist. 70% of you won't re-enlist, we know this and we have planned it that way. Really you are not needed past 4 years, most of you. If decide to get out, that is just fine with me. Thank you for your service, I hope you walk away feeling proud of your service. Judging by all the stuff on Facebook, most of you are proud of it, even if you we're a shit bag.
All I ask is that you go out and be a useful and productive member of society. Not some asshole whose always bitching about this or that problem with society and throwing in how his service in the (name a branch) means he gets to make unqualified statements about whatever. Every thing you do in the service is funded by the tax payers. The guy working at some shitty job is in effect paying your salary, or your G.I.Bill. Don't be an asshole about it. Some of the bravest most outstanding guys I have worked with are normal people who are humble about there exploits and they don't brag or beat on people about it. Public perception or you the service member being a good citizen and contributor to society is important. Its what I want my sons to think, and I'm sure most of you would want your kids to feel the same way that I do.
If you decide to stay in, do so for the right reasons. If you pissed away every paychecks and have no plans for anything else, that is not a USMC career plan. Not these days anyway. Shit changes in a draw-down. Got a Page 11 or an NJP, see you later, goodbye. I'm exaggerating a bit, but not much. When I can close to getting out at the end of my first enlistment, I had no money, no plans and no where to go. I didn't care I was re-enlisting, I knew that at my 3 year mark so it wasn't a problem for me. The rest of you prepare and plan for the just in case you can't or don't want to stick around. Even if your dead set on staying in and going to Marsoc, at least have a course of action (COA) in case something happens and you change your mind.
Things happen along the way and a lot of you reading will not go to Selection, your stuck on duty with google handy and you found this website by accident. No worries, just Chive on!!

NATCA Accepts FAA's Public Offer to Return to Bargaining Table - (4/18/2006)
WASHINGTON – National Air Traffic Controllers Association President John Carr announced today that NATCA is accepting the Federal Aviation Administration's public offer to return to the contract bargaining table. Carr called upon the agency to rescind its declaration of impasse and bring to the new talks a renewed spirit of good faith bargaining and a desire to reach a voluntary agreement.
"We are anxious to return to the table immediately and we accept the FAA's public offer to re-open the talks," Carr said. "We have always been dedicated to good faith bargaining and a voluntary agreement and we still believe both good faith and an agreement are possible. We want to continue bargaining with the agency in hopes that both sides can find that elusive common ground. The FAA wants a voluntary agreement and so do we. The place to find that agreement is at the table, not in the Congress."
Carr said he is confident that the agency will rescind the submission it sent to the Congress upon declaring an impasse on April 5.
"The talks are either ongoing or they're at impasse. They cannot be both," Carr said. "In order to proceed with the agency's desire that talks reopen, both parties will need to retract their last best offers so that our negotiating teams can continue working on a voluntary agreement."
The FAA's official spokesperson was quoted in a published account on April 17 as saying, "We welcome the opportunity to go back to the bargaining table," and expressed the FAA's desire to see "movement on the fundamental issue of pay for new hires."
"NATCA has shown significant movement at the table," Carr said. "We proposed $1.4 billion in concessions, and we are still willing to get back to the table and work on our proposal and theirs, continuing to negotiate in good faith to secure a voluntary agreement."
The FAA's public offer comes after intense bipartisan pressure from Capitol Hill on the Agency to return to the bargaining table. Late last week, Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, issued a press release calling on both sides to return to the table. Said Snowe: "I believe that the FAA moved too quickly in declaring an impasse in the ongoing negotiations with the National Air Traffic Controllers Association and sending the matter to Congress. An impasse is not in the best interest of either party - politicizing the negotiations and putting the question of a reasonable settlement at risk. I believe they should instead come back to the negotiating table to find an equitable resolution."

Write Your Own Review
You're reviewing: AB DOER TWIST™ MACHINE
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: How do I lose weight in my belly (or hips, butt, thighs, waist)
Answer: Some experts claim there is no such thing as spot reduction. But don't worry – you can lose fat right where you need to most when you have the right tools! In addition to it's incredible abdominal toning benefits, the Ab Doer® Twist™ machine is great for sculpting the muscles in your legs, buns and thighs to help you get that beautiful defined look. For the best results, follow the Ab Doer® Twist™ 4-Week Healthy Eating Plan closely to lose the most body fat in the least amount of time. And remember: Be patient achieving the best results takes dedication and commitment.
Question: Can I skip meals?
Answer: Short answer: No. Starving yourself and cutting calories is the wrong way to go about losing weight. When you drastically restrict your caloric intake (below 1200 calories a day) your metabolism slams on the brakes and goes into fat-storage mode. Keep your calories in the 1200-1500 range to optimize your success potential.
Question: Can I use the Ab Doer® Twist™ machine more frequently?
Answer: Of course! Experiment with different exercises and combinations, as well as varied body positions with the music of your choice for a killer workout. For even better results, you can exercise more than once a day.
Question: Can fat turn into muscle?
Answer: Although it might seem like that is what is happening, your body doesn't work that way since fat and muscle are two totally different things. When you begin strength training, you will likely gain muscle at the same time as you are burning fat, so yes, one is replacing the other in your body, but neither is 'becoming' the other one, so to speak.
Question: I have been at this for a few weeks, and am not losing any weight – what gives?
Answer: Do your clothes fit differently? Do you look and feel tighter in your legs, hips and waist? Then you are probably gaining muscle and losing fat simultaneously. Muscle is tighter and denser than fat, and though you are not losing pounds on the scale, you're losing inches all over. Think of it this way: a pound of lead (muscle) fits in the palm of your hand while a pound of cotton balls (fat) could fill a bathtub. Which one takes up less space? Muscle. Therefore, as you lose inches, you're getting smaller, tighter and leaner, which means you're losing a lot of fat. But since you're simultaneously replacing it with denser, heavier muscle, you're not losing scale weight even though you're getting smaller. For now, go by how your clothes fit and how you look rather than your scale weight. Weigh yourself no more than once a week to avoid getting discouraged. Eventually your scale weight will catch up with your progress, we promise!
Question: I'm sore – is this normal?
Answer: Yes. It's totally normal to feel sore or stiff after your workouts, especially if you've been sedentary for a long while. Take some extra time to stretch during the day or take a hot bath and relax if you're feeling sore. If you are excessively sore, take a few days off to recover. Take a slow walk and get the blood flowing without too much exertion and stretch your sore muscles thoroughly. If your pain is sharp and/or relentless, however, take a trip to the physician to make sure it's not a more serious problem.
Question: Where does alcohol fit into my nutrition plan?
Answer: Alcohol is an entity unto itself, as it doesn't fit neatly into any particular nutrient category. But all you really have to know is that it contains a lot of calories that provide little nutritional value to your body, and can contribute to weight gain, a slower metabolism and fatty deposits in the liver. If you're really striving for optimal weight loss, keep your tippling to no more than one or two alcoholic drinks per week.

Esplanade - Hatch Shell, Boston
11 Reviews
11 Reviews
One of the most beautiful areas in and around Boston is the 17-mile stretch of land along the banks of the Charles River known as the Charles River Basin. About 3 miles (from the Museum of Science to the BU Bridge) of this land is paved and has come to be known by most locals as the Esplanade. The great thing about the Esplanade is that you can walk it, run it, bike it, or skate it. I spent many an evening taking romantic walks along the river on the Esplanade.
The Esplanade has a long and complex history. The story of it's conception and creation is fascinating. It started out as mud flats and was tranformed into a world-famous riverside park. The parkland was delveloped in stages, over several decades, at great cost and with great effort. In 1890 Charles Eliot came up with the idea of creating this beautiful Bostonian treasure.
The Esplanade has
6 miles of walkways and bike paths
5 miles of riverbank
3 granite landings
6 boating docks
3 boathouses
1 performance facility (Hatch Shell)
3 playgrounds and 1 wading pool
3 softball fields
3 tennis courts
2 concession stands
3 restroom buildings
5 footbridges over the lagoon
9 pedestrian bridges over Storrow Drive
10 memorials and statues
266 park benches
1800+ trees
If you happen to be in Boston during the summer and have nothing to do on an early Friday evening, take a walk to the Hatch Shell for Free Friday Flicks. The movies aren't new releases, but most are family friendly. Grab a blanket and some munchies and find a spot on the grass. Get there early, since it gets very crowded, especially if its a Disney movie playing. If my memory serves me right, no alcohol allowed.
We came across this interesting sculpture while walking the esplanade along the Charles River. This beautiful tree lined walk takes you along the banks, past the sailing school, across some small islands, past the Hatch Shell and down past the bridges. Lots of people walk, bike and rollerblade down this paved walkway.
The Sculpture is of Arthur Fiedler, former conductor of the Boston Pops. A orchestra that plays only "popular" showtunes and such. They play every July 4th at the fireworks festivities. The sculpture is made of layered metal plates.
The Esplanade is a long stretch of land along the banks of the Charles River made into a nice park. It is separated from the rest of Boston by Storrow Drive and is only accessible by a number of pedestrian bridges.
It's a nice place for a stroll along the river and watch the sailboats.
During summer you can attend free music at the Hatch Memorial Shell (an outdoor stage).
Edward Hatch Memorial Shell and the Esplanade
This is where the Boston Pops Orchestra has the annual 4th of July concert--you may have seen it on television. It is a great waterfront park.
Arthur Fiedler is the longest-serving maestro of the Boston Pops and a nationally renowned figure. His likeless is commemorated in a remarkable statue shaped from thin aluminum plates. The statue is across from the Hatch Memorial Shell, the place to which Fiedler was most closely associated.
The banks of the Charles River are grassy and well-kept, and you can walk along them for quite a stretch. On the Boston side, this stretch is called the Esplanade, and, together with the Common, it makes for a sort of "Boston Central Park." By the Longfellow Bridge sits the Hatch Shell, where you'll sometimes catch a concert or performance. My favorite is the Boston Pops Orchestra, which plays here every July 4th into the night, together with fireworks and whatnot.
Here is the city's finest venue for free, live, public entertainment. The Hatch Shell hosts many first-rate, world-famous acts. On my visit, it had an all-star jazz festival with several big name performers.
The full title of Edward Hatch Memorial Shell doesn't appear in my guide books.
We were in Boston for the last week in May but if we had been there in June, July or August we could have walked the 200 yards or metres across the road and round the corner to hear and see the Shell being used for one of the 3 nights a week free concerts which the Boston Symphony Orchestra give here. Since I wrote my first piece on this tip I have discovered that the popular attractions at the Shell can attract up to 30,000 people and the early attenders get there anything upto 18 hours before the concert to select there picnic site on the grass.
The Shell was built in the 1940's and paid for by Edward Hatch's sister, but I still don't know who Edward Hatch was and what he did.
Enjoy free oncerts by the Boston Pops and other performers at the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade, which is on the shore of the Charles River just north of Beacon Hill. Best time to go is the 4th of July when they bring out the cannons for an unforgettable rendition of the "Stars and Stripes".
Best when there's something going on. This is the place where most of Boston's outdoor musical events are held. The Boston Pops gives a concert here every July 4th.

Hologram Jams

If you can take Hologram Jams lightly and come to terms with the fact that Jaguar Love's post-punk and rock pretenses are fully behind them, then it's a fun outing. Ridiculous lyrics, bristling energy, '80s synths, and booty beats are the core of the record.
Glossing over realisations that the second half begins to drag, Hologram Jams won't appease anybody who rates music to decimal points or regularly orders their record collection alphabetically. Instead, it's fun in the same manner as a night out necking Lambrini and cheap cocktails.
JL have dropped a weird pop record so humorously danceable that Ke$ha's probably planning a collaboration as we type.
Alternative PressThe dozen synth-and-drum-machine-laden tracks that make up Hologram Jams range from percolating to breezy to nostalgic to inescapably annoying as hell. [Apr 2010, p.123]
This time, the band added a dash of retro synths that, ironically, help the music sound more fresh.
The vocal strength that he displays elsewhere on the album isn't there. There is the decided feeling of potential not being realised.
While it's commendable, if unnecessary, that Whitney and Votolato are exploring new musical areas, there's no denying the fact that if Take Me to the Sea ever ran into Hologram Jams in a dark alley, Hologram would be down for the count.
Unfortunately, two good songs do little to temper the overall disappointment with this new direction, and having thoroughly enjoyed Take Me to the Sea, it really pains me to denigrate its successor.
Hologram Jams (that title remind you of Oracular Spectacular or Robotique Majestique?) is a vastly inferior record to Sea, replacing the dynamic punk psychedelia of their debut with sugary overstimulation and rank nostalgia.

Those who have visited <iearn.ventures> lately will be able to read interesting first-hand material that students globally have contributed after interviewing community and family members who were touched by the trauma of war.
Interviewing survivors at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum was one of the most powerful experiences thus far. Four Holocaust survivors told their stories while being filmed by a professional crew, sponsored by Ballarat University.
It is our hope to raise additional funds so that a school video resource and CD-ROM can be prepared for the project with the assistance of the University.
We were pleased to follow the lead of Cold Spring Harbor and its involvement with the Steven Spielberg crews. The project looks like it will continue beyond its original timeline, so please feel free to contribute material from your friends or relatives.
We have interviewed soldiers of war and rescuers and welcome international contributions of student work for the global art exhibition associated with the project.

The study, commissioned in honor of National Masturbation Month by social webcam site Cam4 and French survey institute IFOP, surveyed a representative sample of 1,023 Americans over the age of 18 on their sexual habits. The data showed that 21% of women and 32% of men watch live sex shows online. Skype sex is also increasingly common, with 26% of respondents saying they had "had sexual relations via a webcam," while 48% said they would do so if given the opportunity.
Of course, sexting still has a stronghold. (It's not just for Anthony Weiner, you know.) The data suggest that 40% of women under 35 have shared photos or videos in which they were at least semi-naked, either via text or through social media. Webcams and smartphones are also being used by the amateur pornographers among us: 25% of respondents under 35 have filmed or photographed themselves while having sex with their partner. Over 50% said they would do so "if the timing was right."
The survey also included information on the prevalence of masturbation in America. Among female respondents under 35, 79% said they had masturbated; 88% of their male peers said the same. This was considerably higher than the overall proportion of the sample, suggesting that young people are significantly more likely to engage in self pleasure than their older counterparts. The survey authors indicate that the figure might be even higher for women, who tend to underreport their solo-sex experiences.
It's possible that the wide accessibility of sex content on the Internet — both educational and otherwise — has made us more comfortable with ideas that used to be taboo. As Chauntelle Tibbals, a sociologist and porn researcher, points out, "In recent years, as a culture, we have really matured in terms of sexual shame and judgement. Though not everyone shares the same proclivities (nor should we) and though we are definitely not perfect, it has become less and less acceptable to evaluate others' wants and desires. I think this has contributed significantly to both our use of technology to explore sexualities, as well as our increased openness about it."
Of course, the personal tech boom has made it easier than ever to be intimate wherever and whenever. Whatever the motivation behind using our gadgets in this way, one thing's for sure: Many of us really have fun fiddling with wires and cameras.

Some states are seeking to slow implementation, while others are trying to repeal the standards altogether. Legislation pending in some states would prevent adoption of standards in other subjects, such as social studies or science.
The only states not to adopt the standards are Alaska, Nebraska, Texas and Virginia. Minnesota adopted the reading but not the math standards.
What's happening in the states:
— In Kansas, the idea of putting the brakes on Common Core failed earlier in the session in the House Education Committee. However, grassroots pressure has been put on the state board and legislators to stop implementation over concerns that it will weaken Kansas education and that the standards equate to additional federal intrusion into what opponents say is a local issue of setting curriculum.
— In Missouri, a bill that would have required the state education department to estimate the cost of implementing the standards and to hold statewide hearings about them failed. The legislative session has wrapped up.
— In Michigan, Gov. Rick Snyder said in May that he supports the state's participation in the standards. But the state's House and Senate have approved budgets prohibiting spending on the standards.
— In Georgia, Gov.
— In Indiana, lawmakers put the brakes on the new standards in April, voting to delay their full rollout to allow time to study the potential costs of implementing or abandoning them and hold public meetings.
— In Pennsylvania, controversy has surrounded an effort to create a set of standards that melds parts of the state's 14-year-old standards with the Common Core standards. Gov. Tom Corbett asked state education officials in May to clarify that those combined standards are not uniform national standards. However, Corbett's request apparently would not alter the substance of the proposed standards, or the part of the proposal that ties them to tests that students must pass in order to graduate.
— In Alabama, some Republicans tried without success to repeal the standards The standards have been opposed by the governor and supported by state Superintendent of Education Tommy Bice and a statewide business organization.
— In South Carolina, an effort by some Republicans to block implementation died in the Senate last year. Republicans in the House took a different tack this year aimed at future Common Core standards, sponsoring a bill requiring that any new standards also be approved by the Legislature. It's up for debate on the House floor.
— In Utah, some in the state are resisting the Common Core, including the state's Republican Party, which approved a resolution in May opposing the standards.

Notice how the stuff happening in the if statement is remarkably similar to the stuff in the else statement? I see a huge optimization here - do you?
Originally posted by Paul Wheaton: This makes the code more readable, which is the most important thing right now. Originally posted by Daniel Olson: I'm not sure if it applies to this situation, but sometimes an if else statement can be collapsed into one line using the ternary (conditional) operator. Here is an explanation of it from Thinking in Java, by Bruce Eckel Ternary if-else operator boolean-exp ? value0 : value1 Of course, you could use an ordinary if-else statement, but the ternary operator is much terser. He also says, "... you should be somewhat wary of using it on an everyday basis it's easy to produce unreadable code."

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Recent graduates of West Virginia University could soon obtain electronic versions of their transcripts.
Graduates currently can order their transcripts electronically. But they receive a physical document.
Registrar Steve Robinson tells The Dominion Post that WVU officials hope to begin offering secure electronic transcripts over the next several weeks.
However, the option will be available only to graduates dating back to 1997. Robinson says all documentation prior to 1997 was done on paper and is not in the university's computer system.
Robinson says demand for immediate access to transcripts is increasing.

This week's cartoon describes bus rapid transit (BRT) -- a system for improving public bus service so that it's faster, more efficient and more pleasant for users. As we discussed in this 2006 post, "BRT combines the efficiency and user-friendliness of light rail with the economy and flexibility of on-road vehicles."
Some cities, including Curitiba, Brazil and Mexico City have had great success with BRT systems. But we think it's important to remember that there are significant benefits to other mass transit strategies, also. That discussion is a main focus of our recent Worldchanging Interview: WRI on Bus Rapid Transit v. Light Rail.
Editor's note: This post is part of a series featuring Worldchanging ally Andy Lubershane's original graphics. While many of the issues covered in the comics have been discussed on Worldchanging in the past, we hope that you'll be able to use this new medium in a different way … whether it's in your classroom, on your office wall, or to help explain ideas to friends and family.
Andy Lubershane researches, writes and cartoons about sustainability from his home in Boston. Check out more of his illustrations here.
*I* like taking the bus, but...
Here is a my situation.
I live outside a City -- 70 miles away. I can take the bus to it for $50.00 (round trip). The nearest Rail (about a 20 minute drive by car) is $18.00 (round trip w/ parking fee). The nearest subway station (about 1.5 hours away) is $9.50 (with parking fee).
I did not calculate cost of driving, but one can see that driving into the City is cheaper. And that is the overriding reason why I generally drive.
Ironically, about 10 years ago the rail service all the way into my town was abandoned, with several miles of track actually removed -- at great expense -- for a "bike path" that goes, basically, nowhere.

Dear Skywatchers,
In the last few years of observing these unmarked military jets crisscross the sky, strange anomalies occur that include shadows near and mainly to the side of the white plume contrail. The photo above was taken last year over NYC. Note the shadow. Black trails or shadowy trails have also been seen in front of the plane. This may imply a pre-destined path for marking a grid in the atmosphere. Nonetheless, how is this possible? Is this an artifact from our viewpoint on the ground looking into the 3D atmosphere?
California Skywatcher and researcher Rosalind Peterson alerts us about the black trails.
Here's a black trail I captured while flying back to New York last summer. Also, there were a few strange days last winter when the sun was obscured by a mass of dark clouds.
By 3:30 or so in the afternoon a darkness fell over New York City and soon it became nightfall within the hour. This happened a few more times during the weeks to come. Very odd indeed. Does anyone know what this black stuff is? Send comments and photos to email@example.com
Check out the link below to AirshipAl's Youtube video of a strange shadow that runs along a persistent contrail line amid the dense iridescent haze.

Blockbuster kiosks face same 28-day wait as Netflix, others
updated 08:30 am EST, Fri December 17, 2010
Blockbuster kiosks wait 28 days for Warner Bros
Blockbuster on Friday said that its Express kiosks would have to wait 28 days before getting new movies from Warner Bros. to rent. Despite having trialed same-day launches as recently as the past few weeks, such as Fox's Knight and Day, the company has agreed to stall the $1 DVDs in return for closer contact with Warner Bros. as well as a lower distribution cost and healthier supply. It already had similar deals with Fox and Universal.
The delay now all but puts Blockbuster's kiosks in the same position as Netflix, which itself knowingly took on the four-week delay to guarantee access to major titles both for physical rentals and online streaming. Redbox also usually faces a similar delay for its kiosks. Blockbuster has often been deliberately sheltered by the movie industry as its per-title rentals were more lucrative, but the need to compete against other, less costly services may now have subjected it to the same limits as others.
Blockbuster recently declared bankruptcy in part as the established retail model lost popularity.
Most of the early access for non-traditional movie sources now comes from Amazon VOD, iTunes, Vudu and Zune Marketplace. While they still often have to wait roughly a month after initial DVD sales to begin rentals, the option to purchase often gets them titles in some form roughly in step with traditional releases.

Success Stories
Radio Great Turns to Podcasting
by Brian Baltosiewich
For over four decades, Detroit radio and Dick Purtan (pictured) were nearly synonymous. Nationally, he has a collection of awards like Major Market Air Personality of the Year (twice,) NABs Marconi Award and four times he received R&Rs Personality of the Year. His radio show has been included in the Museum of Radio and Television Broadcasting. Dick Purtan is as good as it gets in radio.
When he retired from the air in March of 2010, its safe to say there was a Purtan-shaped hole in the Detroit radio scene. Flash forward to the Fall of 2011, and Dick Purtan is a podcaster. The podcast really began, Purtan told me in an email interview, even before he retired. About six weeks before I left the air Purtan said I started getting flooded with calls and e-mails from listeners asking me not to hang up the headphones. I was flattered, but after 45-plus years I was ready for a little sleep. The whole website/podcast thing seemed like a logical way to stay connected with the listeners, keep the old grey matter working, and finally get to stay up past 9pm. It seemed like a good fit.
As weve established, a podcast can be worlds apart from a terrestrial radio gig. Purtan and his co-podcasters (called Purtans People) record his podcast weekly at his dining room table. Purtan runs his own board, something he admits he had to get used to. Figuring out which plug goes in which hole... I always had an engineer for that. And to be honest, I'm not used to broadcasting from my dining room. The other major difference?
Not having to play "My Baby Does The Hanky Panky" or any other song for that matter. There's part of me that keeps thinking I should go to weather and traffic - but I'm slowly getting used to that. I occasionally go out and look at my driveway, but there aren't usually too many back-ups to report. The best part is not having to deal with a Program Director.
As for his listeners, theyre finding the podcast and liking the new, unfettered Purtan Podcast. As Purtan told me, The reaction has been great. People are asking if we'll expand them to four hours long, five days a week. As you can imagine, that schedule sounded too vaguely familiar to me. I thought I had retired from that! We have a very strong following on Facebook and that has really directed people to both my website, DickPurtan.com and our weekly podcasts.
As someone who has seen the industry change several times over in a four-decade career, Dick Purtan sees the writing on the wall, and admits that podcasting is not only approaching Next New Thing status: It seems already to be the next thing" (although its not a big money maker.) On the plus side, it gives freedom not only to those of us doing it, but now people can choose when and where to listen. They're not limited to the time they have driving to work... they can listen while they're working out or - if it's not one of our particularly funny ones - they can always use it to help them fall asleep.

Module 1: The Importance of Dental Care
A complete dental care program, consisting of regular oral examinations, professional cleaning and treatment, and regular home care, can result in healthier patients. Dental care can be particularly important with periodontal disease, which can affect systemic health, yet is preventable.
This Module is Written/Intended Only for Use in North America.
CE credits are not available for this module.
Module 2: Dental Products
In a complete dental care program, the entire veterinary team can be the clients' best resource for education and information about appropriate dental care. Providing personalized home care recommendations that fit the pet owners' lifestyle, stage of periodontal disease and are tailored to what the pet will accept are crucial.
This module is currently not available.
Module 3: Introduction to Dental Anatomy, Terminology, and Pathology
It is important to know the normal anatomy and function of the oral cavity, to use the appropriate terms when recording or communicating any findings, and to be able to recognize when abnormal conditions exist. A thorough history, examination and charting can help the dental team discover common conditions and even hidden problems, to provide the best dental care for patients.
This Module is Written/Intended Only for Use in North America.
Module 4: The Veterinary Technician's Role in the Dental Procedure
From a complete oral examination and recording the findings, to a thorough dental cleaning, the technician is at the forefront of providing professional dental care.
This module is currently not available.
Module 5: Dental Wellness Team
Providing patient dental care is a team sport. It starts with providing a consistent message to the pet owner from every team member in the practice! When the practice believes the dental care they provide can positively impact the pets' health, setting goals to improve care can help drive their implementation. Tools to help meet these goals may include getting the proper equipment, providing education and setting up wellness plans.
This Module is Written/Intended Only for Use in North America.
Module 6: Building Dental Compliance
A consistent team message on the benefits of proper dental care, along with client education, can help increase the level of compliance, for both professional and home care. Internal compliance – setting and meeting the goals of oral examinations at every visit, making the appropriate recommendations and scheduling the procedures – is the first step in fostering owner compliance.
This Module is Written/Intended Only for Use in North America.
Module 7: Dental Radiography
It is impossible to provide a proper level of dental care without intraoral radiographs, which often reveal many hidden oral and dental conditions. The biggest challenge is developing proficiency at taking radiographs with the proper angulation for the best image. Good training from the beginning and lots of practice allows the team to make this diagnostic tool an important part of the complete dental examination.
This Module is Written/Intended Only for Use in North America.
Module 8: Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management for Dentistry and Oral Surgery
Appropriate pain management is an essential part of any potentially painful dental procedure or oral surgery. While drug therapy selection and administration of regional nerve blocks should be performed by the veterinarian, the entire dental team should be aware of the concepts of multi-modal pain management. By providing pre-operative, post-operative and local analgesia, the patients will be more comfortable and require less general anesthesia during the procedure.
This module is currently not available.
Module 9: Dental Radiography II
Learning how to take radiographic images was covered in Module 7. Now, complete assessment of the images, by identifying and evaluating the teeth and supporting structures, will help to discover abnormalities and lesions. You will learn to discern between normal structures and pathological changes, and to recognize artifacts that may mimic disease.
This Module is Written/Intended Only for Use in North America.

DRY RIDGE, Ky. (AP) - Friends and family members of a northern Kentucky soldier killed in Iraq remembered him as a family man who lived to serve others at a memorial service yesterday.
Sergeant First Class William Zapfe was laid to rest next to his father at Hill Crest Cemetery in Dry Ridge. The 35-year-old Zapfe was killed last month when the vehicle he was in ran over an improvised explosive device in Muhammad al Ali, Iraq. Zapfe was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division based at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
Zapfe was born in Covington and joined the Army in 1991, serving the last 12 years at Fort Stewart, working as a combat engineer. He met his wife while stationed at Fort Knox where he did tank training. The couple have three children.

Appeared in the Proceedings of the 1996 International Description Logics Workshop. Boston, Mass. November, 1996.
Christopher A. Welty
Vassar College Computer Science Dept.
Poughkeepsie, NY 12601
Several significant problems exist when applying knowledge representation systems to real problems. In particular, the obscurity of LISP, the resource consumption, garbage collection, and the single user nature of most KR systems can prevent the technology from being accepted in many non-research environments. This paper briefly presents one way to address these problems with a web interface, and outlines some of the general principles that guided the implementation of a web interface for Classic.
Implemented Knowledge Representation systems have much to offer in solving serious problems in the real world. In pursuing this belief, we have gathered experience transferring KR technology to users outside traditional academic circles. Most of this work has been in the context of AI & Software Engineering [Welty1995a, Welty1995b], but a recent project in building a card catalog system for the web [Welty1996] has led to some new web-based solutions for the problems facing this type of technology transfer.
This research has made use of Classic [Brachman et al. 1991] as the vehicle for knowledge representation. The paper begins with a description of the barriers that were met when trying to use Classic to solve some knowledge problems in a small software company. The paper then discusses the web interface that was devolped to address these problems and a classic-based card catalog system for the web.
The principle barriers to deploying Classic in industry are mainly related to its status as a tool for KR researchers. Specifically, in an attempt to track knowledge in a small software company related to their main product, the use of Classic was rejected for many reasons:
In the end, we used an Oracle application to represent the knowledge this company needed.
In general, just about any user interface to Classic would solve some of the problems mentioned in the previous section, but an HTML interface can address each of the barriers listed above:
The technology that made this possible was the Common LISP Hypermedia Server (CL-HTTP) [Mallery1994]. This HTTP server runs in most multi-threaded Common LISPs, and allows for active URLs to be served by LISP functions (as opposed to shell or Perl scripts). The real advantage of this is that since the server can run as a thread within the same application as Classic, it shares memory with it and no inter-process communication is necessary for the HTTP response functions to access the knowledge-base. This greatly simplified the task of creating this interface.
While the technology the web represents was clearly dated from its inception, its familiarity simply can not be taken for granted - everyone knows how to use a web browser, and navigate through hypertext documents.
That there is an analogy between semantic networks and hypertext should be clear upon the face of it, and it was this obvious connection that first made an HTML interface seem like a natural way to describe Classic objects. The interface has four basic modes: describing concepts, describing individuals, listing taxonomies, and entering queries.
It is important to realize that all of these pages are generated on the fly, that is they always reflect the current state of the knowledge base.
When describing a concept, the interface displays a web page whose name is the concept name, underneath which is the comment for that concept. If the concept has any individuals, a link is generated that when clicked on will produce a page full of links to descriptions of those individuals.
The concept's direct parents are listed by name, with each name also being a link to the description of that concept. The list of parents is followed by a list of all the ancestors, in no particular order. This is followed by a list of child concepts, followed by descendants.
Finally, the role restrictions for the concept are listed, by role. For simplicity, the interface does not display roles for which there is an at-most 0 restriction, as these tend to clutter the view. Eventually this will be generalized to obey the interesting meta-data facilty provided in the latest version of Classic.
The roles are listed in an HTML unordered (

) list, and the role hierarchy is displayed as nested lists below the parent role.
Any reference to another concept (such as within an ALL restriction) is, of course, a link to a description for that concept.
All derived information is display in italics.
A simple example of the text in a concept description page is shown below.
Individuals in Classic are very similar to concepts, and as a result the description pages of individuals look very similar. There are a few differences, some of which are based on the way Classic treats individuals, and some were based on the way our system used them.
From a Classic perspective, individuals can not have individuals, so that section in the concept descriptions was removed. Individuals can also have closed roles, and those were displayed in bold face.
For the purposes of our card catalog system, which was the motivating force for creating the interface, individuals were the key element. That is, users frequently did not care about concepts, and browsed almost exclusively individuals. The information provided in these descriptions, then, had to be tailored based on people's existing experiences with card catalogs and the new functionality offered by Classic.
To begin with, displaying all the information Classic maintains about an individuals was out of the question. The page quickly becomes cluttered and unusable. The interface was created before the interesting meta-data facilty was added to Classic, and so it made use of certain assumptions based, again, on our use of the system.
The key role was also always the first role displayed in the full description.
Important roles and hidden roles are accounted for in the interesting facility added to Classic in version 2.3.
Many of the compromises made above for displaying individuals seem to dilute the description logic nature of Classic, in particular the fact that only role fillers are displayed for individuals. It is important to realize that this is only the default behavior, future versions of the interface will be easily customizable for users who are familiar with Classic.
An example of an individual description is shown below.
Again, the attraction of the CL-HTTP server was that very little programming was required to produce a fairly usable interface to Classic. Graphical views, though clearly desirable particularly when viewing taxonomies, were ruled out due to their inherent complexity.
We chose to view taxonomies as HTML unordered lists. Given a concept, the children below that concept are displayed as items with their comments. Descendants are displayed in nested lists. In addition, two links are provided per concept, one (expand) allows the user to make that concept the root concept of the taxonomy being viewed. The other provides the full concept description.
Finally, each taxonomy page has a link at the top that can restrict the depth of the taxonomy being displayed. This feature helps viewing deep taxonomies, and when combined with the expand link makes it very easy to browse taxonomies.
The primary advantage of using Classic in the card catalog domain was the ability to use more expressive queries. The interface is still under development, however, and this aspect is still primitive. To enter a query, you type a classic concept expression in an HTML form, and the interface will display a list of all the individuals that are subsumed by that concept.
Clearly this aspect of the interface needs to be extended.
A demo of the web interface is accessible through my home page, under the link for the Untangle project. The Untangle project is the library card catalog system currently under development.
The interface has worked well in helping undergraduates understand the ontology and how to enter data. These undergraduates, it should be noted, have little or no KR background, and certainly no experience with description logics, and are able to navigate through the knowledge-base with fairly little training. In this respect, the interface works well.
The barriers to introducing Classic to a small software company were addressed, and initial feedback from that company indicates they are interested in seeing it.
The future use of description logics such as Classic will depend on the barriers discussed being addressed in such a way.

After many years of serving the Grand Valley from its location on 6th Street the Marillac Clinic has opened an office in a new location.
The clinic's new Palisade location will offer the same high–quality medical care for low–income clients as is available at the main center.
Initially the clinic will be open just a few hours a week, but soon will expand its hours to include some evenings to serve the farm worker population. The new office will also take some of the pressure off the original clinic. Marillac Clinic has served the Grand Valley since 1988.
Last year the clinic served more than 26,000 patients at its 6th Street facility.

Dr. Jill Stein, 2012 Green Party nominee for President of the United States joins Dr. Margaret Flowers, a boardmember with Healthcare-Now and former Congressional Fellow for Physicians for a National Health Program who now serves as the Secretary of Health for the Green Shadow Cabinet appointed by Dr. Stein in the immediate aftermath of last year's election.
Main Green Asher Platt explains why he sat out the bus ride to last week's XL Pipeline protests in the Nation's Capital. In doing so he comments on what's wrong with Bill McKibben and the Sierra Club's 'begging power' to do the right thing. Rather than give up power during elections, as too many 'environmental' front groups for the corporate parties do, Platt argues we should instead be 'building political power'. As a member of the National Committee of the Green Pary of the United States he offers some concrete suggestions on how best to do that.
See also what David Swanson had to say on the matter in his piece, Pseudo-Protests and Serious Climate Crisis.

"Southern Company's rate is lower than what college students in the U.S. pay in origination fees on their federal student loans."
ATLANTA, Georgia, Jun 30 2012 (IPS) - The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE) recently won a two-year legal battle to secure documents from the U.S. Department of Energy under the Freedom of Information Act related to nuclear power loan guarantees offered to utility companies under the Barack Obama administration.
A Black Agenda Radio Commentary by BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon
Metro Atlanta is now the second largest concentration of African-descended people in North America. But with civil rights organizations firmly in corporate pockets, it's still a spot where the racist corporations like Southern Companies feel free and unashamed to celebrate their history of theft and plunder and future prospects of the same. What does that say about the state of black leadership, about all of us?

The same greedy corporations that have long funded white politicians now finance what used to be traditional civil rights organizations like SCLC and an entire new class of black politicians. The cutting loose of black political leaders from their constituencies has dire consequences for the entire American polity.
If You Love This Planet with Dr. Helen Caldicott delivers an hour each week ofin-depth discussion about urgent planetary survival issues such as global warming, nuclear weapons, nuclear power, deforestation, toxic pollution, ozone depletion, hunger and poverty, and species extinction. Each program features one major topic, allowing for an extended conversation with our guest or guests.

Loan guarantees pave way for first new U.S. nuclear reactors in years
Atlanta, GA – The drinking water for 577,361 people in Georgia could be at risk of radioactive contamination from a leak or accident at a local nuclear power plant, says a new study released today by Environment Georgia Research and Policy Center the Georgia Public Interest Research Group C3 (Georgia PIRG).
