The major players of the Fright Night remake are finally in place. With Anton Yelchin cast as protagonist Charley Brewster, and Toni Collette and Colin Farrell added to the cast last month (Collete will play Yelchin's mother and Farrell will play their new neighbor — who just happens to be a vampire). Now, THR reports that Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad) and David Tennant (Doctor Who) have joined the production.
Mintz-Plasse will play Yelchin's friend "Evil" Ed Thompson, portrayed by Stephen Geoffreys in the 1985 original, who eventually joins the vampire's coven when he feels slighted by his friend.
Tennant will fill the pivotal role of Peter Vincent, played originally by Roddy McDowall as late-night, horror movie TV host, but, in the remake, has been changed to a Las Vegas magician whose act is surrounded by horror imagery and who claims to be an expert on vampires. Like McDowell in the original, Tennant will soon reveal he is no expert after being enlisted for help against the vampire.
While the remake seems to be keeping most of the major parts of the original, producer Michael De Luca has previously stated that the remake will be a darker version that will "really go for some scares." Besides the change of vocation for Tennant's character and the setting to Las Vegas, screenwriter Marti Noxon recently told Variety that the vampire Farell will play will be a "much more Jaws-like vampire."
The final major role that has yet to be cast is that of Yelchin's girlfriend, another character that Farrell's vampire will prey upon. Craig Gillespie is directing the production, which still has no start date.

A southern Utah woman is recovering after being scalped while riding on a go-cart.
Dawn Tiatia was riding go-carts at her daughter's birthday party at a park in Saint George, Utah, a few weeks ago. A big chunk of her hair got caught in the machine's drive shaft and was ripped off her head.
After spending several days in the hospital, she made a full recovery. The park says there are signs warning about long hair getting caught in the machines.
This is not an isolated incident. Two years ago the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a warning for riders to immediately stop using these types of go-carts until they can be retro-fitted because of this problem.
Experts say to avoid this type of injury riders should: Wear a hair net, make sure your helmet is fitted to you so that loose hair doesn't fall out. Not wear loose clothing of any kind. Also look at the go-cart to see if it has an axle cover, chain cover, and engine cover to prevent anything being sucked into the go-cart.

We've all heard friends and colleagues express dismay at their devices, but little is said of the condition known as Computer Rage, nor the reason for it. Bad UI, according to the book, User Interface Design and Evaluation from publisher Reed Elsivier, "may result in stress and unhappiness among staff, leading to high staff turnover, reduced productivity, and, consequently, financial losses for the business." That's not even the worst of it, people have shot laptops out of frustration and all of us have certainly ground our teeth.
Thankfully, good user interface design can make a difference. 1984 wasn't 1984 partly because of a design trend known as skeuomorphism, adopted by Apple as exemplified by its folders, desktop visual metaphors, and envelope icons that represent email.
Skeumorphism helped us to understand the brave new cyberworld because mouses and icons were all so new. What would come to be called Human Factors was suddenly rising in importance. It was clear that the tiny hand with a finger was where you were pointing. Skeuomorphism reduced frustration and confusion, and helped fuel a productivity boom, which hinged on the usability of products both digital and otherwise.
Recently, though, a look now called flat design began to digitally supplant skeuomorphism. Flat design really isn't new. It was all the rage in the 1950's and 1960s when it was known as Swiss design. Designers like Saul Bass adopted it in film title and poster design here in the United States, and personal friends of mine went to study it directly in Basel, Switzerland. Swiss design influenced generations of designers, including the team at alterie MUY, the firm that designed the user interface of the CMS software of the Swiss company where I work, Magnolia.
Design has made the world a better place. A plethora of studies prove that an investment in usability yields massive dividends. In a whitepaper from AM+A, to cite just one example, dozens of references back up claims ranging from a 10X ROI on Intranet improvements to reductions in rear end collisions for automobiles due to high mounted brake lights. Parallel papers from interior design firms cite studies that show well-designed office interiors mean people stay at work longer and remain in their jobs longer, thus reducing hiring and training costs. UID.co, a German consultancy that has done more than 2000 design projects since 1998, stated this year that excellent UI means "shorter familiarization periods, fewer mistakes, reduced training costs and satisfied users."
Do consumers care? Yes we do, you and I and everyone we know get bored of things like skeuomorphic envelopes representing email. We fall out of love with one aesthetic, and now, flat design has become the new black. However, it isn't just style. Because flat design is cleaner, some argue in a balanced way that it is better. Jakob Nielsen was evoked in a paper on usability and productivity from IBM this year, saying that "Every extra unit of information in a dialogue competes with the relevant units of information and diminishes their relative visibility." But in an interview with Gregg Keizer in Computerworld in which flat design is positioned as a fad, Nielsen balances his view, "Totally flat design, like in Windows 8, is a terrible usability mistake because it removes the users' ability to see at a glance where they can click."
The key word is "totally." Dogmatically flattened design will confuse the user as to where to click. Human Factors studies will ensure that people understand what the visual signals indicate. It's at least 10x cheaper – sometimes 1000x – to invest in studies of your designs before you distribute your product. Bad user interface design decisions literally caused the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, when a light indicated that a valve had been closed when it had not in fact been closed. A clear design of the warning systems of a nuclear power plant is essential, but this rule applies to everything.
Just say no to design that obfuscates function and importance. Our world of apps and marketing and maps and shopping and reading and photo filters and information gathering and likes has become far too complex for weak design. Just say yes to clear interfaces. Say yes the perfect balance of exes that close windows and trash cans that delete files. Say no to Computer Rage. Say yes to software products that help us do our work well.

Global sukuk supply less than half demand
Demand for sukuk projected to triple in five years; This year's issuance to set record but much smaller; E&Y says supply-demand gap could widen further; Awqaf are becoming major source of demand; Lack of intermediaries, common platform are constraints
September 9, 2012 11:49 by Reuters
The global supply of sukuk is less than half investor demand and the gap may widen further unless the Islamic finance industry can quickly develop more institutions capable of organising new issues, according to consultancy Ernst & Young.
Current outstanding demand for Islamic bonds totals an estimated $300 billion, and this is expected to grow to $900 billion by 2017, Ashar Nazim, Islamic financial services leader at Ernst & Young, told Reuters this week.
Meanwhile, fresh issuance of sukuk this year is projected to surpass a record $100 billion, according to the corporate and markets division of Commerzbank – satisfying less than half of outstanding demand.
"Supply is less than half today – as a result Islamic banks are forced to rely on other synthetic solutions," such as commodity murabaha and tawarruq investment structures, said Nazim. Such structures tend to be shorter-term than sukuk and are often not as convenient for investors seeking liquid financial instruments.
Nazim said regulatory requirements or business reasons were causing investors to hold about 30 percent of their Islamic assets, estimated at around $1.3 trillion globally, in the form of liquid instruments. Sukuk, which pay returns on money invested instead of coupons to obey Islam's ban on interest, are the main liquid instrument in Islamic finance.
Heavy demand for sukuk has over the past year largely eliminated the "sukuk premium", the additional cost which borrowers paid to issue an Islamic bond instead of a conventional bond because of the smaller investor base for sukuk and the relative unfamiliarity of sukuk structures.
Many high-grade credits, such as Qatar in its record $4 billion Islamic bond issue in July, now pay less to sell sukuk than they would for conventional bonds.
The growing appetite for sukuk is coming largely from Islamic banks as well as conventional banks, high net worth individuals and Islamic endowments called awqaf.
The awqaf are increasing their allocations to sukuk as they reform their operations and become more organised in their investment decisions, Nazim said. According to an Ernst & Young estimate, awqaf around the world had about $105 billion of assets in 2010, including roughly $40 billion parked in cash.
The Gulf's sovereign wealth funds generally remain on the sidelines in sukuk investment, he added. "They are rather neutral to conventional or Islamic paper."
But overall, suppliers of sukuk are are struggling to keep pace with demand and "there is a risk that the absolute gap could be exacerbated", said Nazim.
Factors limiting supply include a lack of intermediary institutions that have the necessary connections in the market, structuring expertise and balance-sheet strength. Nazim said Ernst & Young had identified 14 Islamic banks with the financial muscle to operate in the international sukuk market – a tiny number compared to banks in the conventional bond market.
"Clearly there is a leadership vacuum that is up for grabs," Nazim said, adding that as big conventional banks restructured and focused on their core markets because of the global financial crisis, Islamic institutions had a chance to develop their abilities.
But structural issues in the sukuk market also remain unaddressed, Nazim said; for example, the industry lacks a common global trading platform for sukuk and banks operate their own proprietary trading networks. "Those inefficiencies are huge." (Editing by Andrew Torchia)

text: Home Culture Not a Shocker: NRA Head Thinks Obama Is a 'Fake President' Mediaite has a clip of Jim Porter's pre-Newtown, Conn., comments. He's not exactly a fan of this administration. By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: May 3 2013 4:22 PM 0 Jim Porter (YouTube) Mediaite just dug up this June 2012 video of current National Rifle Association President Jim Porter calling Barack Obama a "fake president" whose entire administration is "anti-freedom."That's a lot. When did presidents we disagree with stop being just presidents we disagree with and start being "fake"? Oh, yeah -- right around Inauguration Day 2009. Jim Porter, previously a lawyer from Alabama, told that crowd that he likes to refer to the Civil War as the "war of Northern Aggression" and called Barack Obama a "fake president" whose entire administration is "anti-freedom." Perhaps what's most striking about Porter's comments is that they came more than six months before the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., that spurred the Obama administration to its first real action on gun-control legislation. He has not made any major public remarks since accepting the new leadership position in the NRA, but it's fairly safe to say that his opinion of the president has not warmed. Read more at Mediaite.

Reading Video Games
Fans of video games and graphic novels alike can celebrate! Did you know that many of your favorite stories and characters from the world of gaming have made the jump to comics? If you're a younger player, you probably already know about the huge collection of Pokémon books, Sonic the Hedgehog books, Kingdom Hearts books, and even adaptations of the many stories of The Legend of Zelda. What about Ratchet and Clank? What about The Prince of Persia? Man, you really know your stuff!
Grown-up gamers, don't despair. Get caught up in the stunning artwork and off-world adventures of the Halo series. Follow Marcus Fenix and Delta Squad into battle with the Gears of War graphic novel. Mobster hit men, elemental chaos forces, and superheroes collide in The Darkness. And, for saucy video game commentary, check out the Penny Arcade series.
Older gamers don't forget about Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. I stopped owning compatible systems after the first series, but it sure was an excellent game. I must sadly report that the novel is neither written by Clancy nor all that excellent, but if you want to say you're a Ghost Recon completionist, well, there it is.

Cottage Housing Inc. celebrates 15 years
Local homeless transition and recovery organization Cottage Housing Incorporated will celebrate its 15th year Wednesday with a fundraising celebration entitled "Beacon of Hope" at the Crest Theatre. The event will include and evening of reflection, entertainment and launch the program's Home Run! initiative.
CHI President and CEO Robert Tobin has been deeply involved with Sacramento's homeless community throughout the past 10 years.
"Homelessness is a symptom of larger systemic issues within our society," Tobin said. "Increasing challenges within our educational and medical systems affect some people more than others."
To aid individuals and families in need, CHI opened its first living facility, Quinn Cottages, in 1998. To qualify for the program, participants must make a commitment to sobriety, have self-defined personal development goals and render voluntary services. Participants may live in the facilities for up to 24 months and are considered graduates when they have secure housing, stabilized income and are sober at the time of their departure.
With the fall of the economy and rise of unemployment over the past few years, homelessness rates have shot up, and the need for homeless assistance has increased.
"The biggest change over the last five years is the length of time applicants are spending on our waiting list," Tobin said. "There was an 85 percent increase in the percentage of homeless population that is unsheltered."
Tobin went on to explain that waiting lists to get into Cottage Housing used to be three months, which is around the same time people are allowed to stay in emergency shelters. Now with the economic shift, typical waiting time is 10 months, forcing those in need to circle back to the streets before entering the program.
The Home Run! initiative is aiming to help heal that problem. The initiative is designed to double accommodations from 241 bedrooms to 500 and triple residential capacity from 450 to 1,400 adults and their children annually. Already $1 million has been generated for the expansion, and CHI is working to triple that amount.
The "Beacon of Hope" event will kick-off the public portion of the fundraising campaign. The night will be full of presentations and entertainment, including a performance by the Sacramento Gay Men's Choir.
The event will also recognize now-retired Bishop Francis A. Quinn, who has been involved with the organization since its inception. At the event, Quinn will be introduced by Mayor Kevin Johnson as the first annual Beacon of Hope honoree.
Wednesday's event begins at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $45 and can be purchased by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 916-971-1566 x13. The Crest Theatre is located at 1013 K St.

A participatory way of relating to new situations underlies Tenazas' notion of the designer as "cultural nomad." Her role is to help each student develop an authentic voice and a comfort with difference that adds range and nuance to that voice. "As a designer, you're put in the position of having to respond to somebody else's needs or problems," Tenazas says. "If you're aware of who you are, you can take on the identities and problems others may pose and not lose your own."These are the insights of an individual who, equipped with a degree in fine arts and an interest in design, traveled from the Philippines to the United States in 1979 for advanced study, first at California College of the Arts (CCA) and then at Cranbrook Academy of Art, where she earned an MFA in Design. Her experimentation with type led to an interest in the complexity of language and the interrelationships of meaning, form, and content. After working in New York for several years, she moved to San Francisco, where she opened her own firm and became the founding chair of the graduate program in design at CCA. In 1996, she became the first president of the AIGA to be based outside of New York.Tenazas is now developing a pathway within the existing MFA Design and Technology program emphasizing design, craft, and technology for students who are interested in multidisciplinary and hybrid design practices. The curriculum will help shape the next phase of communication design, in which students will use both analog and digital technologies to execute richly tactile designs, mix human intuition with artificial intelligence, and invent complex and poetic cross-platform means of visual expression.

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- The Pittsburgh Steelers will likely be without leading receiver Antonio Brown next Monday night when they host the Kansas City Chiefs.
Brown sprained his right ankle in last Sunday's 24-20 victory over the New York Giants. Coach Mike Tomlin called Brown's status "very much in doubt." Brown leads the Steelers with 42 receptions and is second on the team with 499 receiving yards.
If Brown sits, it's likely Emmanuel Sanders will take Brown's spot in the starting lineup, with veteran Jerricho Cotchery moving up to starting slot receiver.
The Steelers will also be without safety Troy Polamalu, who will miss his fifth straight game and seventh overall with a right calf injury. Running back Jonathan Dwyer, who sat out last week with a right quad injury, is expected to play.

So yet again we see the security problems that having ActiveX components in web sites poses, yet the BBC develops their IPlayer product that relies on you running ActiveX controls (in IE). I signed up for the beta, but have not yet viewed any content because of this very reason.
That would make too much sense now, wouldn't it?

Moving triops to an aquarium
I need help from someone who has grown triops.
I managed to hatch them in a clear plastic pastry tray that had been sitting outside collecting rain water. It has algae growing on the sides. There are four, ranging from 1/4" to 1/2".
I prepared a two gallon tank with play sand from an established tank and tap water that had been sitting for three days.
Upon being moved to the aquarium, they turned upside down and went into convulsions after ten minutes. I moved them back to the tray and they appear to have recovered.
It is pretty foul, even with water changes from tap water that has been in a jug for several days.
I have available water from year old aquariums and rainwater.
How can I move these guys to an aquarium where they will thrive?

What is Molluscum Contagiosum?
Molluscum Contagiosum is a viral infection that produces small, flesh-colored, dome shaped bumps that can often become irritated or painful. They may appear to have a shiny surface in a small central indentation, or white core.
Why should I care about Molluscum Contagiosum? Molluscum Contagiosum is a benign condition that will spread through direct skin contact. This contact can be in the patient's own skin spreading to other areas, or from direct skin-to-skin contact, especially in children. Molluscum Contagiosum can also be transmitted through swimming pools and shower room floors. Continue Reading →


text: Someone on another forum made the claim that the spacing between cogs on a Shimano MTB cassette was "slightly" different than on their road cassettes. Fact or fiction? The reason I ask, of course, is that I have an 11-32 shimano 10 speed that I'm shifting with a 10 speed Campy Ergo/Shiftmate/Deore RD setup. Shifting is very good, but not quite what it should be. I have two "risk mitigation" plans, but I thought I'd check on the cog spacing first.

Since 1899, the Vaucresson family has held ground in the heart of New Orleans' seventh ward commercial corridor. Robert Levinsky Vaucresson was the family forebear who started as a butcher in the Old St. Bernard Meat Market which was located on the corner of St. Bernard and N. Claiborne avenues. In 1933, the City opened a new market with stalls equipped with refrigerated units adjacent to the old one in the location where the Circle Food Store now stands.
Surviving the Depression, but not the expansion of Circle Food Store, in 1949 Robert L. Vaucresson leased a building blocks down St. Bernard Avenue at N. Johnson Street, where now stands a Liberty Bank branch. He and his wife Julia had six children. Their only son, Robert Anthony "Sonny" Vaucresson starting working in the business in 1939. He took over the business when his father died in 1956.


text: Shingles, medically called Herpes Zoster, is a rash caused by reactivation of the chickenpox virus. The rash is very itchy and usually presents with grouped blisters. The rash follows a band-like pattern on the skin, and a big clue is that it does not cross the midline. Often times, the area will feel odd, itchy, tingle or burn a few days before the rash appears. About 20 percent of people who have chicken pox will develop shingles later in life. Continue Reading →

This help15 page is actively undergoing a major edit for a short while.
As a courtesy, please do not edit this page while this message is displayed. The user who added this notice will be listed in the page history. This message is intended to help reduce edit conflicts; please remove it between editing sessions to allow others to edit the page. If this page has not been edited for several hours, please remove this template, or replace it with {{underconstruction}} or {{incomplete}}.
The Menu Manager controls the framework, or container of the menu(s) in Joomla!. The actual menu functionality and appearance of a menu is created automatically by Joomla! by triggering a new instance of [mainmenu] when a menu is first created. It is this, together with the menu item(s) selected, that creates the finished menu.
Version Changes
New in Joomla! 1.5:
- Type column
- ID column
Column Headers
Column Headers Placeholder
Enter details of any specific Column Headers definitions that are unique to this function alone. Do not include this section if not applicable. There is no need to go into major detail in this section unless it is appropriate to do so. Use your judgement or discuss with other team members. Use definition term (dt) and style (dt15) for the name of the Column Header and definition description (dd) and style (dd15) for the explanation of the term.
Please remove this placeholder as soon as you start entering text here.
Typical Usage
Using Menu Manager you can create your menus containing your menu items. You can create a new menu by clicking the New toolbar button. You can edit an existing one by selecting it and clicking the Edit button on the toolbar or by clicking its title..
This screen summarizes the details of the available menus by displaying the number of published/unpublished, trashed menus and the number of the modules.
Quick Tips
It is expedient to give talkative title for new menus, because later you will see it in the Backend Menus menu. Its is good idea to fill in the Description field where you can give some information about the menu. As well it is expedient to enter a short title in the Modul title field, with this name you can identify the module in the Extensions -> Module Manager that belongs to the respective menu.
Points to Watch
Creating a new menu
When you want to create a new menu, in the Unique Name field use only english alphanumeric characters without space to identify an unique name. It is good idea using only a-z, 0-9 and underscore (_) characters. Please read the tooltips as well!
Deleting an existing menu
If you delete an existing menu, do not forget that all of menuitems of the respective menu will be also deleted. So think over what you do!
Each menu is a copy of the mod_mainmenu module. These modules are listed in the Module Manager and their details and parameters can be customized by opening them.
The menu items belonging to a specific menu listed in the Menu Item Manager can be accessed by clicking the icon in the Menu Item(s) column of the Menu Manager.

If you feel afraid of losing control and succumbing to fear during the flight, remind yourself that even a full-on panic attack is only a temporary affliction; you'll get through it.

Answering the Call to Invent Tomorrow
Published in Convocation
Learning is "the cornerstone of our globalized society" and the 21st century "is shaping up as 'the century of the learner'" – a time when "major breakthroughs in cognitive and neuroscience and astonishing advances in digital technology…will transform education and galvanize learning for all, young and old, rich and poor alike."
With that forecast, delivered at Teachers College's commencement exercises on May 15th and 16th in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, President Susan Fuhrman called upon TC's 2012 graduates to "accept the call to serve society by becoming the inventors of tomorrow" and to regard their preparation at the College as "a bond of trust" with "the students you teach, the patients you treat, the employees you guide and the communities you serve."
Speaker after speaker echoed Fuhrman's theme of marshaling innovative research to "invent tomorrow."
Surveying the array of sky-blue academic departmental banners at the first of two master's degree ceremonies after receiving the College's Medal for Distinguished Service, the astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson said that "what's interesting about these names is that they all shout out" a focus on "making a better world."
The son of a Teachers College graduate himself, Tyson said he chose his career path after a childhood trip to the American Museum of Natural History, where he now serves as the Frederick P. Rose Director of the museum's Hayden Planetarium. He urged the graduates to care less about answers than the search to find them. To illustrate his point, he told them to imagine themselves as employers choosing between two job candidates, each of whom has been asked to estimate the height of St. John's tallest spire. The first candidate, who has already memorized that figure, responds immediately with the precise answer. The second, who has not, runs outside, measures the length of the spire's shadow, measures his own shadow, figures out the ratio between the two numbers, and comes back ten minutes later with an answer that is about a foot or two short.
Someone grading a standardized test might be impressed by the first candidate, Tyson said, "but I'm hiring the guy who figured it out." His point: "When we ignore the importance of creating thinking en route to the right answer, that's the beginning of the end of our functioning as a creative civilization. If you never know more than your instructor taught you, than we'd all still be living in caves. At some point, someone has to think differently."
Speaking at the afternoon master's degree ceremony, Martha Kanter, U.S. Under Secretary of Education, praised Teachers College as an institution whose leading lights, over the years, have "propelled this nation to greatness" in a range of fields. "You stand on their shoulders," she reminded the graduates, urging them to remember their debt to teachers who have "shown you the world as it is and encouraged you to see it as it should be."
Retaining an idealistic vision is especially important right now, said Kanter, who, as the first community college president and district leader ever to serve in the under secretary role, is spearheading President Obama's initiative to restore the United States to world leadership in college enrollment. Over the course of just a single generation, she pointed out, the country has slipped to sixteenth place on that measurement. Kanter cited other factors that have contributed to that decline: a disastrous high school dropout rate; the failure of half of all students enrolled in college to earn their degree within six years; and an entrenched gap in which black and Latino students continue to trail whites and Asians in academic achievement by, on average, two to three years.
"It's taking too long" to fix these problems, Kanter said, "and we're losing too many students."
She charged her listeners with the responsibility to "put the lie to the myth that poverty is destiny.
"Move our nation forward by creating opportunities for others," she said. "Use the opportunities you have enjoyed here to model the way."
At a time when friends and families are asking graduates to think about their futures, linguistic anthropologist Shirley Brice Heath, who also received the College's Medal for Distinguished Service, said she wanted to "talk about going backwards, to origins."
Heath, who is the Margery Bailey Professor of English and Dramatic Literature and Professor of Linguistics, Emerita, at Stanford University, has devoted her career to exploring the formative linguistic and artistic experiences of people in different cultures. Her groundbreaking longitudinal research in the Piedmont area of the Carolinas, published as the classic work, Ways with Words: Language, Life and Work in Communities and Classrooms (Cambridge University Press, 1983/1996), has helped shatter the notion that class and race are inherent barriers to academic achievement.
Heath told graduates at Wednesday's doctoral hooding ceremony that "at least once a month, I want you to seek out an origin story of anything you buy," from flowers sprayed with preservatives that might be harmful to the migrant workers who picked them to furniture made from wood "robbed" from the forests of Papua New Guinea.
She urged her listeners to reflect upon their own "origin stories" – to remember "the first time you were aware of being special, with your will, talents, interests and creativity," or "the first time you felt the pulse of your energy as you imagined a world changed by you."
And finally Heath reminded the audience that human beings have "the gift of the hypothetical – of 'what if?' and 'as if'" – questions she suggested trigger the most powerful of all origin stories, because they tap the potential of all who ask them and spark dreams of what could be instead of what is.
The student speakers at each of the College's two master's degree ceremonies both spoke of commencement as a moment of transition, from thinking about changing the world to going out and doing it.
Kristen McGregor, who received her master's degree in Human Development, told listeners at the morning ceremony of her work conducting what she called "the marshmallow experiment" with young children. In this well-known experiment, which tests children's ability to "put off what they want now in order to get something better in the future," participants are offered a choice between being allowed to eat a single marshmallow right away or a few marshmallows – or even a whole bag – later on. "I've come back to find kids with their kids literally with their tongues resting on the bag of marshmallows," McGregor said to laughter. "It's a classic example of desire controlled by the vulnerable human brain. And that's how I feel right now. We've put off all sorts of things in our lives –we've made significant sacrifices—to make changes in the world."
McGregor urged her fellow graduates to "think of what your bag of marshmallows is – of what you have done so far and what it is you want to do" because "today is the day we get to dig in and do what we came to do – and that, my friends, is truly sweet."
Afternoon student speaker Imani Irving, who received her master's degree in Curriculum and Teaching, recalled her grandmother's advice to "aim for the stars – because if you fail, you'll only fall into the trees, but if you aim for the trees, you'll hit the ground and injure yourself."
Irving, the mother of a two-year-old son, told her classmates, "We have all given birth to new ideas and recreated ourselves as professionals and individuals. " That process began by "changing within and challenging our assumptions." Now, she said, the challenge is to continue that evolution "by giving life to your ideas.""Shirley Chisholm, who was the first African American woman elected to Congress, and also a Teachers College alumnus, said, 'You don't make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining,'" Irving said. "'You make progress by implementing ideas.'"

My daughter was only one day old when I received the first comment about my post-baby body.
I was standing by her humidicrib feeling a mixture of trepidation, fear and joy when a nurse in the Intensive Care Unit said, "My, didn't you get your figure back quickly?" Pulled out of my reverie, I struggled to answer her. I muttered something like, "Huh, what? Oh, thanks."
I'm sure it was meant as a compliment at a tough time but really, the intensive care unit is not the place for post-body baby talk. At a time when I should've been thinking solely about the health of my first-born child, I instead became acutely aware of how my body looked to others.
Similarly, a friend was rendered speechless when she attended her first mothers group meeting when her baby was six weeks old. Another first-time mum stood up, clapped her hands together and announced to the group she had done some research and had found a nearby twice-weekly personal training session that also had a nanny service for the babies.
"Who's in?" she inquired.
Expecting the group to be as bewildered as her, my friend was shocked to see seven other mothers raise their hands and talk excitedly about losing the weight they'd gained. Did I mention this was only six weeks after the birth? As most mothers would attest to, the thought of leaving the safe cocoon of the house at the six week mark is daunting enough without being enlisted into commando style fitness training – needless to say she didn't return.
I think the reason why we are all so focused on regaining our pre-baby figures is due in part to the way celebrity post-baby bodies are treated in the media. Yesterday Jessica Simpson appeared on a US talk show to "reveal" her post-baby body four months after the birth of her daughter, Maxwell.
"I've just had a lot of pressure on me to lose the baby weight, and today was actually one of my goals: getting here, and feeling comfortable in a beautiful dress," admitted Simpson.
Simpson most probably appeared as a contractual agreement to promote the fact she is launching a campaign with Weight Watchers – immediately cementing herself as the new poster child for mummy weight loss. I think it's gotten to a pretty sad state that there is enough interest for a woman (female celebrity or not) to appear on a show to reveal what her post-partum body looks like.
An article on Jezebel yesterday counted the amount of headlines (over their summer) focused on the "Jessica Simpson Baby Weight Loss narrative" and counted a ridiculous 109 articles on sites such as Us Weekly, Hollywood News and even the Sydney Morning Herald (full disclosure here: two on that list were from our US counterparts).
Simpson isn't of course the only celebrity to flaunt her post-body baby. Beyonce recently appeared at a concert four months after the birth of Blue Ivy stating: "I had to lose 60 pounds (27kg). They had me on that treadmill. I ate lettuce."
There's also been models Gisele Bunchen and Miranda Kerr appearing on catwalks weeks after the birth of their children and locally former Spice Girl, Mel B fronts a similar Weight Watchers campaign to Simpson.
There's no point pretending women don't want to lose the baby weight gained over pregnancy and regain some semblance of the figures we once had, but previously there was no time limit. It is advised by most health professionals to take a year (and that's if you push them for a date) but now the expectation is that your stomach can magically shrink back by the time you leave the maternity ward. The pressure now to "bounce-back" is immense and the number one question asked by my single friends post-birth was about my body: How's your stomach? Did you get stretch marks?
The discourse around body image and the expectations of losing baby weight needs to change, the immediate focus post-birth should be about coping mentally and learning how to take care of another human being not how much lettuce you should eat to lose weight.

The Greater El Paso Association of REALTORS® (GEPAR) has partnered with Point2, a leading provider of software and services for real estate professionals, to develop a public-facing real estate listings portal focused on the greater El Paso area. The new website, ElPasoTX.com, provides consumers with information about local properties for sale and rent using timely and accurate data that originates from the GEPAR Multiple Listings Service (MLS). In a move to benefit their 1,900 members, GEPAR created this competitive public portal to send qualified leads directly to the listing brokers and agents.
"Leveraging the same platform already in use for high-traffic international real estate portals like Point2 Homes and PropertyShark, the technology behind our El Paso portal is proven and ready to provide results to GEPAR's members," comments Saul Klein, Industry Principal for Point2. "GEPAR has always been on the forefront of technology. We're very happy to have this opportunity to work with them to bring El Paso a world-class, real estate-search portal that provides the accurate and up-to-date listing data that today's consumers demand."
ElPasoTx.com is poised to become the premier real estate search platform in its marketplace by connecting real estate professionals and consumers to the most authoritative listing information available. "By partnering with Point2, we feel it will position our new public portal and our members as the most trusted source for real estate in our region," says Jason Sanchez, Director of MLS & Technology for GEPAR.
Point2's customized site features branded, user-friendly design tailored for GEPAR's audience. Visitors can view local demographics and search by neighborhood with the assurance that every resulting property displays the same, accurate information that is listed in the MLS. The existing relationship between Point2 and GEPAR allows the portal to be an evolving product that adapts to the changing needs of the real estate market.
In addition to GEPAR, both the San Francisco Association of REALTORS® and East Bay Regional Data are under contract with Point2 and expect to have their public portals launched in the next 60 days.

fire up the browser! – ftp – web tools – portable firefox!
I just have to say, firefox is the best web experience ever! Things I use regularly:
~Fire FTP
Allows me to transfer files safely to and from my webserver
~Web Developer
Edit css directly and see the changes in my page!
And – a must have for the person who uses internet cafes:
~Portable FireFox
This was a recent discovery. I wish I had found it earlier as it would have been helpful several times along the way. Imagine being able to walk into an internet cafe, plug your usb thumbdrive in, click on the portable firefox.exe and have all your saved bookmarks, passwords, and essential browser preferences right there – on your drive, and not have to type any of your passwords into a questionable machine – to even TOUCH Internet Explorer. NICE, that's all I have to say!
I've tested it once and will write a review about it after a few more uses. So far – looking great!
If you're not using FireFox, why not?
I was simply tired of pop-ups, spam and spyware looting my machine. This open source browser has been the ticket ! I love it when something works 😉

Given the latest news about cruise ships from hell, it's no surprise people are afraid of the ocean. Some are scared their ships will wreck; others are terrified of the wreckage. To confront his phobia of shipwrecks, our correspondent borrows a rowboat to face New York's dreadnoughts.
This summer marks the quadricentennial of Henry Hudson's joyride to Albany—a celebration steeped in blood and greed.
Four hundred years ago, Henry Hudson took a pleasure cruise up to Albany—and so began a bloody, murderous chapter of American history.
To celebrate the quadricentennial of Henry Hudson's cruise to Albany, a new series about the Dutch colonies' origins in America—no publicity cover-ups allowed.
New Yorkers, as a rule, fear rats. You see them in the rivers, in your bedroom, sometimes drinking coffee on the subway. A boat ride on the Gowanus.

Volume 6, Number 21 > Other Stories
Miami Dade College was recently named one of two recipients of the 2008 Association for General and Liberal Studies (AGLS) Awards for Improving General Education. The College is the first two-year institution to receive this award and was recognized for its effort to move from a complex set of 25 general education goals to a slimmed down, multidisciplinary set of 10 College Learning Outcomes, intended to add breadth and liberal learning to all College programs.
"Congratulations go out to the faculty, staff, students, and administration of Miami Dade College and The University of North Dakota for their commitment to quality general education," said Michael Gress, president of the Association for General and Liberal Studies. "Both application narratives describe the institutions' dedication to the processes necessary for campus-wide dialogue and support for strong general and liberal education improvement."
MDC won special praise from the review committee because it engaged great numbers of faculty in the process and built an institution-wide commitment to the 10 central learning goals. The committee also recognized that MDC's success required it to make good use of outside resources and have the strong support of the president and administration. As a result of this broad-based commitment to the new learning outcomes, the institution has been able to implement an assessment program that has already begun to lead to improvements.
"This award is an external affirmation of the great work our College as a whole has done in regards to learning outcomes and assessment," said Dr. Lenore Rodicio, chairperson for the department of natural and social sciences, who championed and coordinated the application for the award. Dr. Rodicio will accept the award on Sept. 26 during the AGLS Conference in Asheville, N.C.
In addition to recognizing MDC at the AGLS Conference, the organization will feature MDC's improvement efforts in the AGLS Newsletter and on the AGLS Web site, where the College's application will be housed for access by other institutions. Past recipients of the AGLS Award include the University of North Carolina at Asheville, Eastern Michigan University and Portland State University.
Established in 1961, AGLS is a national forum for inquiry concerning the improvement of undergraduate education. The association seeks to enrich the educational experience of America's college and university students by stimulating vigorous discourse among professors, administrators and all those concerned about the purpose, scope and nature of general and liberal education. AGLS believes liberal education provides undergraduates with the breadth of knowledge, understanding and appreciation needed to live in the world as informed, responsible and responsive citizens.

In size, the Elbert County tornado was a big one. However, tornado size doesn't always mean that it is a strong tornado. This tornado at its widest was about a quarter of a mile wide. No doubt, a big tornado anywhere let alone Colorado. However, most of the damage was done by EF-1 and EF-2 winds. Thankfully, no injuries or fatalities. Below is the damage survey information from the National Weather Service Office in Boulder:
The National Weather Service in Boulder conducted a storm survey for the June 15th Elbert County Tornadoes. There were three separate tornadoes. The strongest tornado began 8 miles south southwest of Elizabeth with an EF0 rating. This tornado then moved southeast and intensified with EF1 an EF2 damage noted 9 miles south of Elizabeth. The tornado then moved on a more southerly track for the next 2 miles with additional EF1 an EF2 damage seen. The tornado then continued southward for another mile before lifting with some EF0 and EF1 damage seen. The total path length was around 4 miles with the maximum width around 1/4 mile at its peak.
Two additional short lived tornadoes occurred with one 4 miles south of Elbert and the other 5 miles southeast of Elbert. Both of these tornadoes were rated EF0.
Here are some pictures of damage associated with the tornado 8 to 9 miles south of Elizabeth.

Campaign Crawlers
Doctoring Dr. Dean
'I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of the liberal party.'
Howard Dean really isn't a liberal. I know this because Al Hunt said so.
In his Wall Street Journal column last Thursday Hunt dismissed Democrats who are worried that the rise of Howard Dean means the Democratic Party is "at risk of being taken over by the far left." Rather, Dean is a man who defies the conventions. According to Hunt, Dean's "chief passion is fiscal moderation," and on "some other issues he is to the right of the center of the Democratic party." Indeed, Dean is so not liberal that "Ted Kennedy has cool feelings towards" him.
So why is Al From, chief of the centrist Democratic Leadership Council, so down on Dean? Hunt maintains it has nothing to do with ideology and everything to do with power: "After Bill Clinton and Al Gore, Mr. From fancies himself a kingmaker, and Dr. Dean hasn't supped sufficiently at his table."
Here's an alternative theory: In his gut, Hunt knows that in the ways that are likely to count in November 2004, Dr. Dean is a liberal. He's worried that Dean may have gone so far left that the Democrats are headed toward a Mondale-McGovern meltdown. Thus, he (along with a lot of the mainstream media as of late) needs to get a jump on defining Dean as a moderate now, before those awful Bushies have a go at him.
Hunt is right to be worried. The substance for the "Dean is really a moderate" claim comes from his record as Governor. But his days as chief executive of Vermont are likely to be a tangential issue in 2004. What matters more is his strategy for courting primary voters. All Democrats running for President face the same problem: how to appeal to a left-wing base in order to win the primary, and then how to become more moderate to appeal the "Great American Center" in the general election. While Dean's strategy to win the primary is looking more brilliant by the day, it portends disaster for the general.
Currently, Dean's chief passion doesn't appear to be "fiscal moderation" but rather Bush bashing. After all, Dean isn't emphasizing spending restraint in the commercials currently running out here in Iowa. This works wonders now, as the Democratic base is rabidly anti-Bush. But to work in the general, Dean will have to hope for a major drop in Bush's popularity. Given that polls show Bush is still popular with a majority of Americans, that's a lot to hope for.
On taxes, Dean couldn't have done worse than if Karl Rove had somehow managed to brainwash him. By promising to repeal all of the Bush tax cuts, he has permitted the Bush campaign to talk about how much more a middle-class family of four will pay in taxes under a President Dean. Perhaps he could have gotten away with it if he had only promised to raise taxes for upper-income folks, while offering a Clinton-like $300 tax cut for the middle class. Too late now.
On national security, Dean is even worse. Not only did he oppose the war in Iraq, but he has been loose-lipped about it. Upon the death of Uday and Qusay, he creepily hinted that U.S. troops had gone too far when he said, "I think in general the ends do not justify the means." And on the liberation of Baghdad he made the now infamous remark "I guess getting rid of Saddam Hussein was a good thing." This is a cornucopia for whoever writes ad copy for the Bush campaign.
Hunt dismisses this as "simplistic formation." As evidence, he writes that Dean's opposition to the war was mirrored by "such foreign policy heavyweights as Zbigniew Brzezinski and a few leading officials of the first Bush administration." He also notes that Dean "wants to undo the Bush tax cuts and return to the rates that prevailed during the Clinton administration, hailed then by centrists." Can there be a better archetype of the inside-the-Beltway mentality? Apparently Hunt believes that the folks out in Peoria care what Jimmy Carter's national security advisor thinks and will say to themselves, "You mean my taxes will only go up to what they were under Clinton? I'm okay with that."
Howard Dean's strategy for the primary revolves around bashing a popular president and challenging him on two issues, taxes and national security, that will be GOP strengths in the general election. That will make it very easy for the Bushies to paint him as a man of the left. The likes of Al Hunt can argue until the cows come home that Dean really isn't a liberal. That only proves one thing: self-delusion is still the second-most favorite indoor sport.

A friend asked me the other day, Im still using Tiger, but am buying a new Mac. Will my applications run under Leopard?My answer: You almost always can run Mac applications written for Mac OS X 10.x on newer versions of the operating system. You can also keep on using old hardware peripherals.
While there are some exceptions, they tend to be very old applications, like QuarkXPress 6.52, which Quark supports for all version of Mac OS X up through 10.3 Panther  but does not under 10.4 Tiger or later. Quark strongly recommends that Tiger and 10.5 Leopard users move to QuarkXPress 7.31. (You can still use QuarkXPress 6.52 on Tiger and Leopard, but not everything works, and if you have problems, Quark wont help you.)
Why do most things work fine? Because while Apple always adds new capabilities to each Mac OS Xs APIs (applications programming interfaces), it rarely takes old ones away. There are exceptions, of course, and some APIs are deprecated (thats the technical term for rendered obsolete.) That can stop programs from working, or from working properly.
For example, Carbon is Apples term for a low-level set of 32-bit APIs that handle graphics, and Apple has indicated that its phasing it out in favor of its Cocoa 32/64-bit APIs. Applications written for Carbon will still work on Mac OS X, but may not forever.
When users have compatibility problems when moving from one version of Mac OS X to another, its often because Apple also distributes new versions of its bundled applications. Leopard has updated versions of applications like the Safari Web browser and Mail client than Tiger, and in some cases there may be compatibility issues with some Web sites or third-party plug-ins.
Fortunately, the under-the-covers differences between Mac OS X versions are fairly minor. By contrast, Windows users have a tougher time There are very big differences between, say, Windows 95/98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista that can affect a large number of applications.
While Windows Vista runs nearly all Windows XP applications, it has trouble with hardware devices that havent been upgraded to work with Vista, and it doesnt run many Windows 98 programs.
By comparison, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard will almost certainly run every Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar app, and supports applications that work with any version of Mac OS X. Theres no reason to believe that this will change with Mac OS X 10.6  whatever it will be called. (And no, it probably wont be named ThunderCat.)

Ferrari is a great team and I pay tribute at how they interpreted rules in Austin. I respect the way Red Bull interpret the rules as well. It's not only that I don't see anything illegal in it. I think it is the way it should be. F1 is not simply a competition of drivers and cars, it's a competition of brains, of ability to develop race strategies and interpret rules. The only difference between Ferrari and Red Bull is that Ferrari do it openly, while Red Bull fool people by telling them fairy tales about Webber's "surprising" problems. People, don't be fools!
