That in this free government all white men are and of right ought to
be entitled to equal civil and political rights [emphasis in the
original]; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these
States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly
authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed
will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations;
while the destruction of the existing relations between the two races,
as advocated by our sectional enemies, would bring inevitable calamities
upon both and desolation upon the fifteen slave-holding states." -- Texas, pushing not just for slavery, but for white supremacy, in its declaration of secession

Awesome gadget man...

Thanks! I hope ot get it into the gadget collection. :)
My only improvement would be to add a randomiser button where you could watch the different effects randomly cycle - that way you could leave the program running and sit back and enjoy :). Also it would be cool if it could be fullscreen - but hey, thats newgrounds for ya!
Hmm... Fullscreen? THATS A FANTASTIC IDEA!!!!
Dude I will add that to the next one thanks! I know how to make it do that. :P
If wishes were ponies
If only Windows Media Player could do that to the music (along with the mouse of course) then I would be a happy man!
Well I could program an auto thing where you dont move your mouse haha.
Although, I can't make it go to the music with AS2 :\

Despite the absence of a family photo shoot this holiday season, the Kardashian/Jenner crew still managed to do something special for Christmas.
They've been separated since June 1st, 2013 and now the divorce proceedings between Kris and Bruce Jenner are complete.
According to TMZ, an LA County judge signed off on the documents this week, and neither Bruce nor Kris will receive spousal support.
Given her status as one of pop music's hottest ladies, it's no wonder the guest list for Rihanna's Inaugural Diamond Ball was long and distinguished.
They love a good cause and Kim Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner showed up at the World AIDS Day event hosted by the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation in West Hollywood last night (December 1).
The E! reality television stars flashed their pearly whites for the paparazzi as they entered The Abbey to mingle with fellow high-profile guests.
Always happy to pose for the camera, Kim Kardashian is adorable in a newly-posted throwback photo courtesy of her mom Kris Jenner.
In honor of the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star's 34th birthday yesterday (October 21), the momager uploaded an image from one exciting Halloween evening from years ago.
With all of the filtering options and photo apps available these days, it's not uncommon to spruce up selfies before posting them online.
However, Kris Jenner did a serious overhaul on her face after snapping a shot with Gordon Ramsay while promoting her new cookbook "In The Kitchen With Kris: A Kollection Of Kardashian-Jenner Family Favorites."
She's always happy to talk about her crazy family, and Kris Jenner dropped by the "Today" show this morning (October 20) to check in with Hoda Kotb.
Kicking off their weekend a little early, Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner hit the town in Los Angeles last night (October 9).
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" chicks headed over to The Grove where they posed up a storm together at the Charlotte Tilbury Arrives In America: VIP Beauty Launch Event, presented by Nordstrom.

Brazil Sugar Awaiting Loading Falls 9% Over the Past Week
The amount of sugar waiting to be loaded onto ships at main ports in Brazil, the world's largest producer, fell 9 percent over the past week, according to shipping agency Williams Servicos Maritimos Ltda.
About 1.78 million metric tons awaited loading yesterday at the ports of Recife, Paranagua and Santos, the country's biggest, data e-mailed yesterday from the Recife, Brazil-based Williams Brasil showed. That compared with 1.95 million tons a week earlier, according to the shipping agency.
Vessels headed to Algeria would take 178,000 tons of the raw sweetener and another 43,700 tons were heading to Nigeria. Both countries have sugar-refining businesses, buying the raw sweetener to process it into the white variety. White sugar is about $113 a ton costlier than the raw sweetener, an increase of 28 percent so far this year, data on Bloomberg show.
Refineries are "attracted by high whites premium levels," Nick Penney, a senior trader at broker Sucden Financial Ltd. in London, wrote in a report e-mailed yesterday, referring to the price difference between white and raw sugars. The white premium "shows no sign of weakening for the present," he said.
Sugar output in Brazil's center south, the country's main producing region, rose 14 percent from a year earlier to 3.14 million tons in the first half of this month as mostly dry weather helped harvesting, industry group Unica said on Sept. 25. Rains returned to the region last week, according to Sao Paulo-based weather forecaster Somar Meteorologia.
"In Santos, the largest sugar export port, we are facing not just the cold weather, but also rain and wind," Luiz Carlos dos Santos Jr., head of sugar brokerage and operations at SA Commodities in Santos, said in a report dated yesterday. "All sugar operations are completely idle."
Rain makes it difficult to load sugar onto vessels as the product is sold in bulk form and may be damaged by water.

The Official STAR TREK Grading & Discussion Thread [SPOILERS]

Re: The Official STAR TREK Grading & Discussion Thread [SPOILERS]
I saw the movie a second time in IMAX.
- Loved the intro even more. That part of the movie really captured the essense of TOS the way the Kelvin encounterd something strange out in deep space. THAT's pure Star Trek right there.
- I loved how they muted all the sound as the Kelvin was about to hit the Narada and played a musical piece over it. It created a very nice effect.
- I finally heard McCoy call out to Nurse Chapel.
- I found myself warming up to Bruce Greenwood's Captain Pike a lot more. Loved seeing him in that Motion Picture-style admiral's uniform too.
- I got a lot of other minor details I missed the first time.
- I started to entertain the possibility that the Vulcan we know wasn't the one that was destroyed in this movie and that the one we've always seen was actually the new planet they settled on. That idea kinda went away though.

Omg sounds heavenly. So gonna go now to get pillow
Quoting MollyJmommy:
I love Ikea! I'm getting the white metal frame twin bed for my daughter for next christmas and she got the kitchen and pots and pans this year. The pillows rock I have a memory foam one for myself and got her one of the standard ones they're so awesome :)
Quoting mama-smurf:
Now I wanna go to ikea lol never had ikea pillow. Heard verrrrry soft though
Quoting MollyJmommy:
I did a little lol mostly cuz it was 3am and I woke up to her puking next to my head. It was a really nice pillow too and I only get to Ikea twice a year lol but I have 4 spare pillows now cuz I learned my lesson
Quoting mama-smurf:
Omg I would have cried lol.
Quoting MollyJmommy:
It's normal but freaky, Alison did that to me once but she hurled all over my pillow. My brand new ikea pillow x.x
Hugs to you! She probably just had an air bubble way down and it took the milk with it on the way out, which sucks because of the wasted milk but she is probably just fine. Sometimes DD would just lean over a bit and all of this milk would come pouring out of her...so frustrating! Breathe :)
Lol, I've felt the same way! That's like liquid gold and it's coming back up!! :-)
Glad lo is ok. I've had scares like that too. Especially when their so little.
Quoting mama-smurf:
Yea I was just surprised by how loud she was and amount of milk. I almost cried when I saw the milk "noooo. Not the good stuff. Dont spit that up." Ool
Quoting IrishIz:
She's fine. She did a normal baby thing. Everything is okay.

Oceaneering Announces Record First Quarter Earnings -- Reports First Quarter 2013 EPS Above Guidance -- Raises 2013 EPS Guidance Range to $3.10 to $3.30 -- Initiates Second Quarter 2013 EPS Guidance of $0.81 to $0.86 PR Newswire HOUSTON, April 23, 2013 HOUSTON, April 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Oceaneering International, Inc. (NYSE:OII) today reported record first quarter earnings for the period ended March 31, 2013. On revenue of $718.6million, Oceaneering generated net income of $74.8 million, or $0.69per share. During the corresponding period in 2012, Oceaneering reported revenue of $594.9million and net income of $51.5 million, or $0.47per share. Summary of Results (in thousands, except per share amounts) Three Months Ended March 31, Dec. 31, 2013 2012 2012 Revenue $718,552 $594,893 $780,949 Gross Profit 160,375 123,303 172,528 Income from Operations 108,290 75,987 118,750 Net Income 74,849 51,455 $80,602 Diluted Earnings Per Share $0.69 $0.47 $0.74 (EPS) Year over year, quarterly EPS increased 47% on income improvements from all operating business segments, led by Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) and Subsea Products. Sequentially, quarterly EPS declined, as anticipated, because of a reduction in operating income from Subsea Products as a result of project timing and Subsea Projects due to seasonality in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GOM). M. Kevin McEvoy, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our first quarter EPS was above our guidance range as we are off to a faster-than-expected start to the year. This was, to a large extent, attributable to an acceleration of the timing of forecasted work in our Asset Integrity and Advanced Technologies businesses. All of our business segments performed well, with Advanced Technologies achieving record quarterly operating income. "Year over year, quarterly ROV operating income improved on the strength of a 13% increase in days on hire, particularly in the GOM and offshore Africa. Our fleet utilization increased to 83% from 79% a year ago. During the quarter we put six new systems into service and retired one. At the end of the quarter we had 294 vehicles in our ROV fleet, an increase of 24 from March 2012. For the balance of 2013, we expect to place 24 to 29 more new systems into service. "Subsea Products operating income was higher due to improved demand for all of our major product lines. Our Subsea Products backlog at quarter-end was $776million, compared to $402 million at the end of March 2012 and $681 million at the end of December 2012. "Subsea Projects operating income increased on a full quarter of work on a field support vessel services contract offshore Angola, which commenced in February 2012. Asset Integrity operating income improved on increased service demand in most geographic areas in which we operate. Furthermore, during the first quarter of 2012, Asset Integrity results were adversely affected by a low profit contribution from operations acquired in December 2011 and poor execution on a job in the U.S. Advanced Technologies operating income was higher in 2013 on an increase in work and operational efficiency on theme park projects and submarine maintenance activity for the U.S. Navy. "Our outlook for the rest of this year remains very positive. We continue to anticipate global demand growth for our services and products to support deepwater drilling, field development, and inspection, maintenance, and repair activities. We expect all of our operating business segments will achieve higher income in 2013 compared to 2012, notably: ROV on greater service demand to support drilling and vessel-based projects; Subsea Products on higher demand for all of our major product lines, led by subsea hardware; and Subsea Projects on a full year of work offshore Angola. "Given this outlook and our first quarter earnings performance, we are raising our annual 2013 EPSguidance. Our newguidance range is $3.10 to $3.30, up from $3.00 to $3.25 previously. For the second quarter of 2013, we expect improvements in demand and operating results for all of our oilfield business segments. We are forecasting EPS of $0.81 to $0.86. "Our liquidity and projected cash flow provide us with ample resources to invest in Oceaneering's growth. At the end of the quarter, our balance sheet remained conservatively capitalized with $128million of cash, $90 million of debt, and $1.8 billion of equity. During the quarter we generated EBITDA of $160 million and for 2013 we anticipate generating at least $690 million of EBITDA. We fully intend to pursue organic growth and acquisition opportunities to expand Oceaneering's asset base and earnings capability. "Today we announced a 22% increase in our regular quarterly cash dividend to $0.22 from $0.18 per share. This underscores our confidence in Oceaneering's financial strength and future business prospects. "Looking beyond 2013, our belief that the oil and gas industry will continue to invest in deepwater projects remains unchanged. Deepwater remains one of the best frontiers for adding large hydrocarbon reserves with high production flow rates at relatively low finding and development costs. With our existing assets, we are well positioned to supply a wide range of services and products to safely support the deepwater efforts of our customers." Statements in this press release that express a belief, expectation, or intention are forward looking. The forward-looking statements in this press release include the statements concerning Oceaneering's: expected number of ROVs to be placed in service in 2013; statements about backlog, to the extent backlog may be an indicator of future revenue or profitability; positive outlook for the rest of 2013; continued anticipation of global demand growth to support deepwater drilling, field development, and inspection, maintenance, and repair activities; expectation that all of its operating business segments will achieve higher income in 2013 compared to 2012, and the basis for such growth in ROV, Subsea Products, and Subsea Projects; 2013 EPS guidance range; expectation of improvements in demand and operating results for all oilfield business segments in the second quarter of 2013; second quarter 2013 EPS guidance range; belief that its liquidity and projected cash flow provide ample resources to invest in the company's growth; anticipated minimum 2013 EBITDA; stated intent to pursue organic growth and acquisition opportunities to expand its asset base and earnings capability; confidence in its financial strength and future business prospects; belief that the oil and gas industry will continue to invest in deepwater projects; and belief that deepwater remains one of the best frontiers for adding large hydrocarbon reserves with high production flow rates at relatively low finding and development costs. These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based on current information and expectations of Oceaneering that involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual outcomes could vary materially from those indicated. For a more complete discussion of these risk factors, please see Oceaneering's latest annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We define EBITDA as net income plus provision for income taxes, interest expense, net, and, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We have included EBITDA disclosures in this press release because EBITDA is widely used by investors for valuation and comparing our financial performance with the performance of other companies in our industry.

text: Chicago-based SOMERsault has recently completed a 30-second spot for Busch Gardens/Sea World. In the spot, the word "fun" is spelled out in a zebra's stripes and a group of dolphins swim into place to spell out the word "card." Using inferno*, SOMERsaults senior effects artist, John Montgomery duplicated footage of two dolphins into twelve dolphins, then rotated, warped and animated the dolphins into position. Additional shading and water effects were added to smooth out the appearance. Senior graphic artist Greg Huber tracked the zebra's movement through the shot then used paint functions in inferno* to create the lettering. Additional fur textures were then layered, warped and blended. Sally Gorney created elements for the commercial's "jumbo-tron display" in After Effects. In addition, Montgomery completed several other visual effects in inferno* including realistic cloud formations, fireworks and a text formation within a roller-coaster track. Montgomery said, "One of the nice things about the job was the collaboration between the artists here. From the inferno* to After Effects on the Macintosh we were all able to bring something extra to the job. The fact the editorial was done in-house was an added bonus because we could work along side the editor and be closely involved from start to finish."

I need a reasonable supply of high-quality random data for an application I'm writing. Linux provides the /dev/random file for this purpose which is ideal; however, because my server is a single-service virtual machine, it has very limited sources of entropy, meaning /dev/random quickly becomes exhausted.
I've noticed that if I read from /dev/random, I will only get 16 or so random bytes before the device blocks while it waits for more entropy:
[duke@poopz ~]# hexdump /dev/random
0000000 f4d3 8e1e 447a e0e3 d937 a595 1df9 d6c5
<process blocks...>
If I terminate this process, go away for an hour and repeat the command, again only 16 or so bytes of random data are produced.
However - if instead I leave the command running for the same amount of time, much, much more random data are collected. I assume from this that over the course of a given timeperiod, the system produces plenty of entropy, but Linux only utilises it if you are actually reading from /dev/random, and discards it if you are not. If this is the case, my question is:
Is it possible to configure Linux to buffer /dev/random so that reading from it yields much larger bursts of high-quality random data?
It wouldn't be difficult for me to buffer /dev/random as part of my program but I feel doing this at a system level would be more elegant. I also wonder if having Linux buffer its random data in memory would have security implications.

TransactionScope Support without Distributed Transactions?
Dec 10, 2012 12:07 PM
0 down vote favorite
I have an .NET 4.0 Web Forms app that uses EF4.1 against an Oracle 11g DB, so I am using the Oracle Data Provider for .NET (ODP.NET) that supports EF4.1 (not the newest one.)
I am deploying the app and the ODP.NET libraries to a Win2K8 server using a process very similar to this SO post:
There are three Oracle libraries (oramtsus.dll, oramts.dll, oramts11.dll) that I want to remove from my deployment (if possible), as I don't want distributed transactions. However, I do want to continue to use TransactionScope in my app code.
Here are my questions about this:
1) I did read that oramts.dll might still be necessary to support TransactionScope in my code, but are all three of these Oracle DLLs necessary for that?
2) If I set Enlist=False in my connection string and follow this advice, is that enough to prevent my data transactions from being promoted to distributed transactions?
3) If #2 is true, then do I need any of the three Oracle DLLs listed above?
I checked the Oracle MTS docs for answers, but I could not find details about these specific libraries. Thanks very much for your help!

Thanks, Thom. Indeed that makes sense to me. If I go with the long dev time with the dilute developer, should I still rate the film at EI50?

text: When I was pregnant with my LO I started to get brown spots on my face. I had heard that it was common for that to happen during pregnancy. So, I assumed it would go away after I had my baby & it did. Well here the weather has warmed up so I have been outside more often. And I have noticed that the brown spots are now back & in the very same areas on my face as they once were. They are not extremely dark, but definitely noticeable. I want them to go away! I want my old complexion back :( I love the summer time, & absolutely love to get a little tan in the summer. However, now that the brown spots are now back - when I lay out the brown spots will just get darker & more ugly :) I understand that if I use SPF then it will help the issue a little bit but not entirely. I have also heard of products that can help clear up brown spots a little bit. One in particular, is by Clinique. Does anyone else have/had this issue? IF so, what product do you recommend the most? Is this something that is going to be an ongoing issue every summer?

Wednesday I was volunteering at the "pro-life" booth at the Walla Walla Fair.
I saw the joy and wonderment of the children's eyes when they looked at the progress of a baby in the mother's womb. They enjoyed seeing the progress of that wee one.
Through a child's eyes we will see the real truth, unconditional and without reservation. The Lord says to chose "life" and these mothers did. As they watched their children's eyes grow in amazement, they could see they made the right choice.
I appreciate you mothers for choosing life for your child.

Murrow award for Video: Breaking News for "Target bin Laden: The Death of Public Enemy #1."

His book, The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor, debuted at No. 10 on the New York Times Bestseller list for hardback non-fiction.
Early life[edit]
Jacob Paul "Jake" Tapper was born on March 12, 1969 in New York City and was raised in the Queen Village neighborhood of Philadelphia.[4] His family is Jewish. He is the son of Theodore S. "Ted" and Helen Anne (née Palmatier) Tapper. His mother retired as a psychiatric nurse at Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center. His father graduated from Dartmouth College and went on to serve as the president of South Philadelphia Pediatrics and associate clinical professor of pediatrics at Jefferson Medical College.[5][6]
Tapper was raised in the Jewish faith;[7] his father was from a Jewish family, while his mother, a native of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, converted from Presbyterianism to Judaism. He attended Akiba Hebrew Academy and graduated Phi Beta Kappa and magna cum laude from Dartmouth College in 1991 with a bachelor's degree in history, modified by visual studies.[8] At Dartmouth, Tapper was a member of Alpha Chi Alpha fraternity. He briefly attended graduate school at the University of Southern California School of Cinema-Television.[9]
In 1992, Tapper served as a campaign press secretary for Democratic congressional candidate Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky (PA-13) and later served as her congressional press secretary.[10] Tapper then worked for Washington, D.C. public relations firm, Powell Tate, run by Democrat Jody Powell and Republican Sheila Tate. He also worked briefly for Handgun Control Inc. (now the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence) in 1997.
After writing many freelance stories, Tapper began his journalism career full-time as a senior writer for the Washington City Paper from 1998 to 1999 where he wrote in 1998 an article about his experience going on a date with Monica Lewinsky[11] which skewered Washington's culture of scandal.
Tapper was the Washington correspondent for Salon.com from 1999 to 2002. He was an early questioner of the Bush administration's claims about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction.[12]
ABC News[edit]
ABC News hired Tapper in 2003. Tapper has been a frequent guest on the Imus in the Morning radio program. From March through July 2010, Tapper was interim anchor of ABC's This Week, hosting the program until Christiane Amanpour became This Week 's anchor.
Tapper was named Senior White House Correspondent on November 5, 2008, the day after the 2008 presidential election. For an unprecedented three years in a row, the White House Correspondents' Association has awarded him the prestigious Merriman Smith Award for presidential coverage under deadline pressure. He was a key part of the ABC News coverage of the inauguration of President Obama that was awarded an Emmy Award for Outstanding Live Coverage of a Current News Story.
Tapper was passed over as candidate to replace George Stephanopoulos as anchor of This Week when Stephanopoulos was chosen to replace Diane Sawyer as co-host of Good Morning America after she became the anchor of World News.[13] CNN's Christiane Amanpour was selected as Stephanopoulos's replacement instead. Tapper served as the interim anchor until Amanpour took over the show on August 1, 2010.[14] He was passed over again when Stephanopoulous was rehired for the position.
Tapper contributed regularly to Good Morning America, Nightline, and World News with Diane Sawyer. In addition to anchoring World News and Good Morning America weekend editions and Nightline, Tapper was a frequent substitute host of "This Week" and served as interim host for much of 2010, scoring the first TV interview with CIA director Leon Panetta, as well as exclusives with Vice President Biden, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, retired Gen. Colin Powell, former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, in addition to interviews with other newsmakers such as House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
As senior White House correspondent, Tapper interviewed President Obama several times. Prior to his assignment at the White House, Tapper was ABC News' national/senior political correspondent based in the network's Washington, D.C., bureau. He contributed a report to a broadcast of "World News Tonight with Peter Jennings" that won the 2005 Edward R. Murrow award for best network newscast. As ABC News' lead reporter covering the 2008 presidential election, he received recognition for both breaking stories and even-handedness. Traveling from Iowa to New Hampshire to South Carolina and beyond, Tapper interviewed both Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., as well as other White House hopefuls including former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
It was announced December 20, 2012, that Tapper would join CNN and would anchor a new weekday program and serve as the network's chief Washington correspondent.[15] He began with CNN in January 2013, hosting his own program, The Lead with Jake Tapper The show finished 2013 in second place among cable news organizations in its time slot.
The Lead with Jake Tapper won three National Headliner Awards for its reporting in 2013. Among broadcast television networks, cable networks and syndicators, The Lead with Jake Tapper won first prize for its coverage of the Boston marathon bombing and second prize for its coverage of the Oklahoma tornadoes in the category of "Coverage of a major news event." It won third prize for its coverage of the Boston marathon bombing in the category of "Continuing coverage of a major news event." [16] In June 2013, The New York Times' Allesandra Stanley wrote that "Jake Tapper, who this year became the host of 'The Lead' on CNN, has proved that it's possible to create an afternoon news show that is intelligent, nonideological and not horribly boring."[17]
Other programs and media[edit]
Tapper has contributed to GQ, The Weekly Standard, NPR's All Things Considered, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. In 2001, he hosted the program Take Five on CNN, in which young journalists and commentators discussed politics and pop culture. In 2002, he hosted a series of entertainment news specials on VH1, and in 2003 he hosted shows focused on independent film on the Sundance Channel. Tapper has also been a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Colbert Report, The View, Real Time with Bill Maher, and appeared on the Judge John Hodgman podcast as guest bailiff, standing in for regular bailiff Jesse Thorn during the August 31, 2011 episode entitled "De Plane".[18]
Published works[edit]
Tapper is also the author of The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor, a critically acclaimed book about U.S. troops in Afghanistan that debuted at #10 on the New York Times bestseller list for hardback non-fiction. Bob Woodward described the book as: "Brilliant, dedicated reporting by a journalist who goes to ground to get the truth. A sad, real tale about this war, America and the brave warriors who live-and die-at the point of the spear" and Jon Krakauer called it "a mind-boggling, all-too-true story of heroism, hubris, failed strategy, and heartbreaking sacrifice. If you want to understand how the war in Afghanistan went off the rails, you need to read this book."[citation needed]
In addition to The Outpost, Tapper is the author of Down and Dirty: The Plot to Steal the Presidency, based on the 2000 Presidential election, and Body Slam: The Jesse Ventura Story.
His comic strip Capitol Hell appeared in Roll Call from 1994 to 2003. He has also contributed cartoons to the American Spectator magazine, the Los Angeles Times, and The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Awards and honors[edit]
As the Senior White House Correspondent for ABC News, Tapper was honored with three Merriman Smith Memorial Awards for broadcast journalism.[1][2][3] The first Merriman Smith Memorial Award was for reporting noncompliance of laws regulating tax reporting by the Secretary nominee Department of Health and Human Services secretary nominee and former Senate majority leader Tom Daschle (D-SD),[19] troubles that ultimately derailed Daschle's nomination. The second was for the 2010 story that President Obama had asked for the resignation of his Director of National Intelligence, Admiral Dennis C. Blair (retired). The third time was for breaking the 2011 story that the ratings agency Standard and Poor's was expected to downgrade the AAA rating for U.S. government debt.
On July 6, 2009, former MSNBC television personality Dan Abrams launched a website service, Mediaite, reporting on media figures, ranking all TV-based journalists in America by influence; at December 2010, Tapper ranked at number one.[20]

1. Re: OBI Maps questionGRK Nov 21, 2012 8:52 AM (in response to PsmakR)Hi User,
As per my knowledge it is not possible.
How ever - try to combine your analysis results using - Union of Reports (Don't show this one - table view)
But, pass the results to map from this analysis (analysis which is comb. of union of reports) - So, you can show both on same map.
Make sure, the datatype of two analysis are same.
If, it is completly diff reports and diff datatypes - with diff number of columns... then you cannot.
2. Re: OBI Maps questionPsmakR Nov 22, 2012 4:05 AM (in response to GRK)Hi!
Thank you :) I've thought maybe there is some kind of different solution...because the data sources are completelly different. Then can ben combined using views and so on, but these points should be always visible and this leads to multiplying the rows to match every filters on a dashboard ;/
With regards,

Senior Hamas official: We have lost faith in Abbas
Mahmoud al-Zahar threatens to open confrontation with PA, continued attacks on Israel after pullout.
A senior Hamas official Wednesday threatened both open confrontation with the Palestinian Authority and continued attacks on Israel from Gaza after the disengagement, saying that Hamas had "lost faith" in Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen).
In an interview with a local Gaza news agency, Mahmoud al-Zahar, a senior Hamas official in the Gaza Strip, said Hamas was not willing "to serve as a fig leaf" for PA control of Gaza following the disengagement, would not give up its weapons and was liable to continue bombarding Israel with mortars and rockets from Gaza after the disengagement "in order to liberate the West Bank and Jerusalem."
However, other senior Hamas officials moved quickly to try to moderate the fears of civil war that Zahar's interview aroused among the Palestinian public. Sheikh Hassan Yusuf, a senior Hamas leader from Ramallah, for instance, published a statement saying that Zahar "exaggerated in describing [Hamas'] differences of opinion with the Palestinian Authority and Abu Mazen."
Zahar, who gave the interview as Abbas was in Damascus to try and reach an agreement with Hamas' external leadership on various PA-Hamas disputes, warned: "The Palestinian Authority and Fatah need to know that what they are doing now is playing with fire. They will bear responsibility for ignoring Hamas and the [other] factions and for their insistence on managing the withdrawal alone. We will not serve as a fig leaf on this matter, nor will we allow it [the PA] to steal the achievements of the street and Hamas - the sacrifice of its [Hamas'] sons and its leadership to liberate the land of Gaza - just so that this land will be distributed to some individual or another."
He even hinted that Hamas would be willing to use force against the PA to prevent it from running Gaza after Israel's withdrawal: "Just as we did not accept the occupation of the land, we will not allow it to be allocated to anyone who did not play a part in liberating it," he said, referring to the PA. "The PA, which accuses itself day and night of corruption, cannot manage the population. They will encounter a determined street if they try to decide by themselves, and Hamas will never work with them."
Hamas will not join a unity government, as the PA has proposed, Zahar said. It would agree to sit on a committee comprised of representatives of all the Palestinian factions, which would manage Gaza jointly, but only if this committee were not part of the PA. Moreover, "only those who liberated Gaza should participate in such a committee, not other parties, who are now trying to increase the number of people who want to share in the division of the spoils," he said.
"Hamas will keep its weapons after the withdrawal, because they serve to defend every centimeter of the homeland against Zionist aggression," Zahar continued.
"Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem are one geographic unit, and Hamas will not sit quietly in Gaza if it is attacked in the West Bank. Who will guarantee that the occupation won't return to Gaza? And who will protect Hamas members against the PA? The Preventive Security Service, which arrested its members in the past? The mukhabarat [secret police], which is gathering intelligence on it? We will not give our weapons to anyone, and we will not enter the PA's jails."
Zahar also attacked Abbas personally, the first time Hamas has done so since his election. Describing the PA chairman as "a man who can't be relied on," he charged that Abbas had broken numerous agreements with Hamas. "Hamas has lost faith in him because he did not carry out what was agreed on with the movement," Zahar said.
"We agreed on a `supreme national body' and this was not implemented," he continued, referring to the idea that Hamas and Islamic Jihad would join the PLO under new rules. "We agreed that our people would not be harmed by the PA, and this was not implemented. The same is true of the continuation of local elections, which are not being held, and of the parliamentary elections. Even though there are written agreements, Fatah postponed [the elections] unilaterally, and now Abu Mazen is setting new dates and sending us emissaries to get us to agree to them."
Zahar demanded both that a date for parliamentary elections be set and that a new Central Elections Commission be formed to replace the current one, to ensure that the elections are free of fraud.
"Relations between Fatah and Hamas are strained against the background of its [Fatah's] verbal attacks on the organization," he said.

Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams
It's hard for us to forget one of the greatest relationships of the 2000s in Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, but people do forget. Like McAdams' character in "The Notebook" -- the film that made America fall in love with the Gosling-Adams union -- she probably forgot. But if James Garner were here, he'd tell you that they dated for two years and split in 2007 and then tried one more time in 2008 before calling it quits again. She's now with Michael Sheen, he's linked to Eva Mendes, and the beautiful "Notebook" plantation was wasted on Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's wedding. Everything is ruined!

Oh I am very aware of it and expect it. I still think we could do better with a later round WR. 6th or 7th would be fine. If we take someone in the 3rd I would prefer Tyler Lockett.
I think we can do better than a 3rd round WR. I would take another CB in the third or a RB.
Can we get a sticky on this until a week after the draft?

Aug 9 - Maturing too fast? Puberty strikes 7-year-old girls!
|5 years ago
|class of '10 - away - #1

The study revealed a surprisingly large bump in the number of girls going through puberty between the ages of 7 and 8. For example, the researches found that 10 percent of 7-year-old white girls had some brea$t development as compared to 5 percent in a study published in 1997. Similarly, 23 percent of the 7-year-old black girls had started puberty as compared to 15 percent in the 1997 study.
Nobody's sure what is driving the declining age of puberty. But the rise in obesity could be at least partly to blame, says the study's lead author, Dr. Frank Biro, director of adolescent medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
That makes a lot of sense to Dr. Luigi Garibaldi, a professor of pediatrics and clinical director of pediatric endocrinology at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
Back in the 1700s, girls didn't start to menstruate till they were 17 or 18, Garibaldi says. That had a lot to do with malnutrition. The a.ssumption is that the steady decline in age since then has to do with more abundant food.
There may be other environmental factors at work, too, says Dr. Stanley Korenman, an endocrinologist at the University of California, Los Angeles.
For example, Korenman says, environmental exposure to estrogens in plastics, chemicals and foods has been going up. "And estrogens do stimulate brea$t development," he adds.
Until we know what the cause is, the best way to slow puberty may be to "start living green," says Biro. "It may help for families eat together and to consume well-balanced diets. Regular physical activity may help, too."
Another finding from the study may back that concept up. The rate of early puberty was much lower in the San Francisco group: 7 percent among white 7-year-olds from northern California versus 14 percent among Ohioans of the same age. Among black 7-year olds, 27 percent of Californians hit puberty early as compared to 31 percent of the New Yorkers. Northern California's temperate climate fosters more outdoor activities and the emphasis on healthy foods results in a better diet.
Why all the fuss about early puberty?
Beyond the possible brea$t cancer connection, there's also the issue of emotional maturity, Biro says. "Just because a girl has matured physically, doesn't mean she's socially or psychologically mature," he explains.
There's also the issue of stature. There are some studies, Biro says, that show that kids who mature early don't grow as tall.
As part of her work-up, Kiera had a bone exam. Doctors concluded that at age 8 she had the bone development of a 10 year old, which meant her growth might be stunted.
For Kiera and her family, the answer was simple: slow puberty down. She now has an implant placed under the skin of her upper arm that doles out regular doses of a drug that blocks the spiking hormones that were taking her into early s3xual maturity.
Kiera was happy to see her brea$ts stop budding and to once again feel like she fits in with all her friends. These days she says she'd be perfectly happy if those brea$ts didn't start to swell again till she was 16.

it's all the cows milk parents give their kids. Ranchers pump tons of hormones into bovines to they lactate year round. Those hormones obviously make their way into the milk.
Not to mention anything beef related also has traces of steroidal compounds as ranchers try to increase the size of their cattle.


text: I recently bought a new front brake Avid Code 185mm. I haven't installed it yet so I cannot comment on the function. My question is right now I still have the stock rear brake (Hayes Solo 160mm). Should I upgrade the rear also or stay stock? If I upgrade should I go with a 185mm or a 203mm? I would think the 203mm would be over kill for my riding purpose (XC singletrack).

What is the ip
Will a fise turn the whole panel off
A fuse is a sfety device, power goes through it to supply the power to the instrument cluster. If it is burnt or not making a good connection powe won't go through it correctly, hence it will work sometimes and other times not. If it's burnt power wont' go thorugh at all an dnothing in ip will work. This could be another problem but this is the first thing to check. If you aren't any good with vehicles then take it to a pro and have them look at it.

Piracy Declines by 28% as Navies Disrupt Somalia Attacks
Global pirate attacks fell 28 percent in the first quarter as naval interventions reduced incidents off the coast of Somalia, the International Maritime Bureau said.
Pirates mounted 102 attacks, down from 142 a year earlier, the London-based bureau said by e-mail today. Incidents near Somalia dropped to 43 from 97 and the number of vessels that were hijacked also fell, it said. Incidents off the coast of Nigeria doubled to 10 and the pirates ventured further out to sea, according to the bureau.
"Nigerian piracy is increasing in incidence and extending in range," the bureau said in a statement. "While the number of reported incidents in Nigeria is still less than Somalia, and hijacked vessels are under control of the pirates for days rather than months, the level of violence against crew is dangerously high."
Oil tankers carrying about 750,000 barrels of crude daily through the Suez Canal, the world's busiest man-made waterway, must pass by Somalia's coastal waters, according to figures on the canal authority's website. Container ships moving half the world's manufactured goods are also targets. Total trade valued at $1 trillion moves through the region, according to the European Union's naval force.
Naval strikes led to the decline in Somali piracy, the bureau said. Fewer vessels are being seized as owners hire armed guards and deploy better on-board security, it said.
3,500 Pirates
There are about 3,500 Somali pirates attacking vessels off Africa's eastern coast in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean, the United Nations said in February. Somali pirate attacks rose to a record 237 in 2011 and ransoms worth $160 million were paid to release 31 hijacked vessels, according to a One Earth Future Foundation report.
Piracy cost the shipping industry and governments $6.9 billion last year, including $2.7 billion in extra fuel to speed up through the area and $1.27 billion on military operations, according to the foundation.
