|No Snuggie for Melan
|Written by Gaogaigirl
|Wednesday, 18 November 2009 22:10
The poor sap STILL has no arms, so a blanket will have to do...
That and Sunggies are stupid.
But I digress. So after Melan's minor accident where both legs broke off, hip cracked and shoulder exploded, my sad little Jyukenshi is back on track (abet a very slow one but a track none the less). I rue myself for not sculpting on a proper supported armature because the way I'm working is backwards and slow.
Everything I add onto his main body from here on out has to be done in sculptable epoxy. This limits my progress considerably. I can do only so much then I have to wait 24 hours before the stuff is sandable. This sucks (patience isn't one of my strong points).
I've gotten him to a point where I've begun to work on tightening up my edges and that's were things slow down even more. As I've stated before I'm not that great at sculpting so it really becomes a task to clean up my messy edges. I've posted some new pictures so illustrate what I mean.
My desk is a mess,(which is awesome when Toji comes in to bug me) forgive my poor studio keeping. I've got a long way to go, but I WILL finish him (note: GGG never finishes her sculpture projects).

This article intent to show Supply Positioning model. This model helps in prioritizing the efforts and developing supply strategy of your company
Following two factors are considered while developing this model
- Annual Expenditure Value of the SKU/Service
More the expenditure value for a particular SKU/Service, more it is important for your business as it will offer potential for cost savings.
- Criticality to the business
If the SKU/service is not available/delivered on time then how this is going to affect you company's profit or operations? – This question decides the level of the criticality of the SKU/Service
Lets analyze both the factors in the below matrix
Expenditure is plotted on the X-Axis and criticality is plotted on the Y-axis of this chart. As you move on the X-axis from left to right the expenditure value increases. Generally as per Pareto's rule 80% of the Items/Services account for 20% of the expenditure and 20% of the item account for the 80% of the expenditure. You can use here ABC analysis to identify the items and services
Now let's analyze the characteristics of the items as per the quadrant
This quadrant is represented by items which are least critical to your business and account for least expenditure value. Normally these items are standard in nature, of low value and many suppliers. The examples for this quadrant are stationary items, house keeping materials, IT peripheral like CDs, etc. Level of attractiveness for doing business for these SKUs/Services would be low for the suppliers.
SKUs/Service in this quadrant are similar to Routine quadrant but the spend value is very high for these items. These are again standard services/SKUs and readily available in the market but these SKUs/Services are of high values and offer great potential towards cost reductions and savings. Level of attractiveness for doing business for these SKUs/Services would be high for the suppliers.
These SKUs/Services are characterized by high risk and low annual expenditure value. These are mission critical items/services. Unavailability of these services and SKUs may immediately affect the operations and profitability of your company. Items in this quadrant can be MRO items for critical machines and equipment. Normally these items are highly specialized, not readily available in the market and have very limited suppliers. Since spend value is low for these items and services so it may not offer high level of attractiveness to suppliers for doing business with your company.
Similar to bottleneck items, these items are very critical to your business. The spend value for these items is higher and offers higher level of attractiveness to suppliers for doing business with your company. You may have a greater ability to influence the supply of these items. These items are the key contributors to the profitability of your company. The examples for these items are key components on which your Finished Products depend. Similar to bottleneck items, these items may not be readily available in the market and may have very few suppliers.
How to improve the supply Position?
The ideal situation would be to eliminate the criticality of the items/services and at the same time having strong position in front of suppliers i.e. leverage position. Here you do not have fear of unavailability of the items/services, offer higher level of attractiveness to your suppliers for doing business with your company and command the strong bargaining power with the suppliers.
So ultimately your objective should be to increase the leverage. This can be achieved as below:
- Move Items/Services from Routine quadrant to Leverage- Here you can consolidate your requirements such as combining equipment purchase with installation and maintenance services, buying office consumable and computer peripherals from the same vendors etc.
- Reduction in variety of specifications, specification standardization and supply base optimization.
Consolidation of demands of all the sites for common categories
- Forming purchase consortia with other industries to leverage the spend
- Working with engineer to reduce the technical risks and try to use standard specifications as much as possible
- Carry out study of market to search other sources of supply to reduce the risk of supply for critical items

65th Engineers Join with 2-6 CAV for Air-Ground Integration Training
June 1, 2011
Story Highlights
- With close air support assets in the vicinity, ground forces can engage and destroy these threats from a distance.
- Upon exiting the aircraft, the ground teams moved from the landing zone toward a mock-improvised explosive device cache.
- Within seconds, the Kiowas opened fire on the targets, engaging with both .50-caliber machine guns and rocket fire.

POHAKULOA TRAINING AREA, Hawaii " Enemy targets that have been spotted in the open, but are out of range, are difficult and dangerous scenarios for Soldiers on the battlefield, as these targets are an explicit but unattainable threat.
Fortunately, with close air support assets in the vicinity, ground forces can engage and destroy these threats from a distance.
Close air support is air action against a hostile enemy target in the proximity of friendly forces.
Soldiers of the 65th Engineer Battalion, 130th Eng. Brigade, 8th Theater Sustainment Command, teamed up with the 2nd Squadron, 6th Cavalry Regiment, 25th Combat Aviation Bde., 25th Infantry Division, for joint training operations in close air support, here, recently.
Close air support operations are inherently complex and require clear coordination between rotary aircraft crews and forces on the ground to prevent fratricide. For this reason, practice and training are essential in air-ground integration operations.
"Working with (2nd Sqdn., 6th Cav. Regt., 25th CAB,) has been great," said Lt. Col Daniel Koprowski, commander, 65th Eng. Bn., 130th Eng. Bde. "They're very professional and have offered us a training opportunity we wouldn't have been able to execute on our own."
Much like artillery support, Soldiers call in close air support from a distance, via radio. These communications are generally made from ground forces on the scene directly to the pilots above.
If they can safely accommodate nearby Soldiers, pilots and their crews will confirm the request and neutralize or destroy enemy targets with strafing or rocket fire from above.
To practice the scenario, Soldiers from 2nd Sqdn., 6th Cav. Regt., 25th CAB, flew teams of eight to 10 Soldiers in UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters from Bradshaw Army Airfield, here, to the training site, which was suitable for close air support training.
Upon exiting the aircraft, the ground teams moved from the landing zone toward a mock-improvised explosive device cache. There, they took fire from an enemy target in the distance.
Having taken cover and established a security posture, the ground assault force called for close air support from two OH-58 Kiowa helicopters in its vicinity.
Within seconds, the Kiowas opened fire on the targets, engaging with both .50-caliber machine guns and rocket fire.
Once they had confirmed the enemy threat was destroyed, Soldiers of the 65 Eng. Bn., 130th Eng. Bde., moved back to the landing zone and re-entered the Black Hawks.
The air to ground integration training was a valuable opportunity for Soldiers to observe and employ close air support assets.
"It was great familiarization training," said 2nd Lt. Kyle Chamberlin, operations, 65th Eng. Bn., 130th Eng. Bde. "Really being able to see what I had just called over the radio gave me confidence, should I need air support in the future."
While Soldiers in garrison train for close air and artillery support on virtual simulators, there are no substitutions for field training events, such as these, in regards to air-ground integration training.
"We don't get many chances to practice calling for air support in an environment where the birds actually show up," Koprowski said. "It's great training for our junior leaders and will pay dividends downrange."
PTA's expanse of mountainous terrain is an ideal location for close air support training.

Dana Bible big addition for Wolfpack against Hokies
North Carolina State rushed for a season-low 10 yards and committed a season-high four turnovers last year at Virginia Tech. The Wolfpack's 10 points and 259 total yards were its second-worst outputs of 2009.
Two reasons: Tech's defense was typically ornery, and State was without offensive coordinator Dana Bible.
The Hokies' defense may or may not return to that form Saturday when the programs reunite for a 3:30 p.m., kickoff at Carter-Finley Stadium. But the Wolfpack will have Bible back calling the plays.
Bible fell ill the week of last November's Tech-State encounter and was diagnosed with leukemia the day before the game. Tight ends coach Jim Bridge and running backs coach Jason Swepson called the offense in his stead as the Hokies cruised 38-10.
After a grueling offseason of treatments, the 56-year-old Bible has been declared cancer-free. He's coordinated the offense for coach Tom O'Brien since O'Brien took over Boston College's program in 1999.
"One thing that I did learn last year is we've relied so much on him to do all those things that coordinators do, and we weren't prepared," O'Brien said. "You prepare if one of your players goes down, but I didn't properly prepare in case one of my coaches went down.
"We have shared the load. Dana is not back to full strength. Don't expect him to be. Every test comes back that he's cancer-free. Every time that happens, it's a big relief for all of us.
Certainly his success through the years as an offensive coordinator and the success he's had with our players is a big contributing factor to any success we've had as a team."
Bible has also coordinated offenses at San Diego State, Miami of Ohio, Cincinnati (his alma mater), Stanford, the Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles. Working for O'Brien, he's long been among the Big East's or ACC's best assistants, although his name is rarely linked to head-coaching vacancies.
With Bible in the booth teaming with junior quarterback Russell Wilson on the field, N.C. State (4-0) ranks 19th nationally in scoring (37.8 points per game), 19th in passing (289.3 yards) and 31st in total offense (434.3).
The Wolfpack has yet to face a Virginia Tech-caliber defense, but with Bible and Wilson collaberating, the Hokies will have to be at their best to slow N.C. State again.

A Window of Opportunity for Charitable Lead TrustsTimothy V. Swartley, CFP®, Senior Vice President and Senior Trust Officer, Univest Bank and Trust Co.
Historically low interest rates have heightened interest in an often-overlooked but powerfully effective estate-planning and gift-giving tool – charitable lead trusts (CLT).
With a CLT, you transfer assets (such as cash, stocks and even property) to a trust for a fixed number of years. During this time, the assets are invested and the trust makes payments to a charity (or charities) that you designate. When the trust expires, the assets pass directly to your beneficiaries, bypassing your estate and potentially saving on gift and estate taxes.
A CLT may be ideal for high-net-worth individuals who:
- Own assets likely to appreciate significantly.
- May have an estate subject to estate taxes.
- Wish to make a significant charitable gift at a relatively low cost.
- Wish to maximize their heirs' inheritance.
If some or all of the above scenarios apply to you, a CLT may be a positive option. It potentially provides a triple tax benefit:
- Reducing your income-tax liability by removing incomeproducing assets from your taxable income.
- Reducing or eliminating gift tax on the gift, depending on your CLT's length, charitable payout and tax deductibility.
- Reducing or eliminating inheritance taxes and probate fees, by transferring assets out of your estate.
If you have interest in creating a CLT, set up a confidential appointment with one of our trust and estate-planning specialists who can help you and your advisors determine the most appropriate solution for your needs. Call us at 215-721-8374.

Lynne Cheney, who insists that she isn't counting her numbered days in Washington, suggested today that Sarah Palin, her party's vice presidential nominee, has acquired a certain "invulnerability'' in her dramatic introduction to the national stage, suffering slings and arrows that only have made her stronger.
"I have to confess, I was surprised at the nomination,'' said Cheney, in an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe, calling Palin a natural communicator and "a breath of fresh air.''
"The attack on her has been completely vicious, completely over the top, I think,'' the vice president's wife said, asked by Joe Scarborough about "the blood sport'' of national politics and Palin's readiness for it.
"In her case, there has almost been a backlash to it,'' Cheney said. "In a sense, the attacks were so over the top at the beginning that I think it's given her a level of invulnerability that she did not have before or wouldn't have had otherwise, ... Yes, she knows what kind of sport it is
"I look forward to welcoming the whole Palin family to the vice president's house,'' said Cheney, an author of adult and children's literature who also is out with a new children's book about the Constitution, We the People.
Citing the many amendments to the framers' document that have helped a nation become more "inclusive'' and their wisdom in providing for that - abolishing slavery and later acknowledging the right of women to vote -- she also suggested that the framers would be "stunned'' by the presidential contest today.
"I've also thought many times about, you know, the fact that they were all white, they were all men. It was not a diverse group,'' the author said of the framers. "I do like to think about, I don't know, James Madison and Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, waking up having time traveled and seeing this current election. I think they'd be stunned, in a way, that we have an African American andidate on one ticket, and a woman on the other, but they'd also be very gratified. ''

RED RIVER COUNTY, TX-- The recent heavy rain has shut down one Red River County road for repairs.
Tim McAlavy with TxDOT says, FM 910 at Boggy Creek, just south of Clarksville, is closed and will remain closed until August 6th.
McAlavy says the high water at the creek caused the soil underneath the pavement to wash away.
While crews are working a detour has been set up. TxDOT says the best way to avoid the area is to head south on FM 909 and then east on FM 1487.

Best friend of 30 years is very distant after having a baby? How should I handle it?
We have been best friends for about 30 years. She was at the hospital when my son was born and came over once a week while I was home with him. Even though she came once a week she would only stay for short periods of time. Now that he is 9 months old she has not seen him in about 2 months. We discussed it and she stated she wants to spend time with me alone. I have been trying to set up times to spend with her without the baby but it's hard. I work full time and want to spend my spare time with my son. The worst part is she spends time with our other friend and her family (2 kids) but not with me. What should I do?

How old are the other kids? Perhaps she didn't spend much time with those friends either when they had babies too. Some people just really aren't baby people and feel rather bored or irritated with them, though they do fine once kids are old enough to talk to. It could also be that if she's childless, it's really tough for her to see you basking in baby bliss while she trudges on alone. Or maybe your entire world revolves around diapers and formula right now and she'd really like a chance to have an adult conversation with you again.posted 10/09/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Not really is not true. I have made time to spend with her alone. We have gone out to dinner and hung out without kids. Everytime I call her to see what her plans are she is completely booked. I spoke to my other friend with the 2 kids (9 and 4months) and she's not sure what the problem is either. She hangs out with her and her kids all the time so her problem isn't with the kids. I don't know maybe it's something I did. I am going to talk to her this week about it and find out what she is thinking. I think maybe sometimes freindships grow apart because you are in different places of your lives. No matter what she will always be my best friend and I will always Love her!!!posted 10/10/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Hrm... curious behavior if I do say so myself. Have you tried spending time alone with her? I wonder how she would act then. More than likely she's trying to figure out how to be your friend as your role in life has changed. Maybe she's unsure of how she fits into your life since your priorities have changed. If you feel like that's the case, let her know that you value your friendship, and keep letting her know that you want to see her.posted 10/09/2012 by neneface
it sounds more like you than her. She wants to have adult conversations and do adult things, she's not into diapers and talking about the cute thing baby did yesterday. You even admit that she told you she wants to see you without the baby and that it's you who doesn't want to spend any free time away from baby. Seems you two don't have any hard feeling you have just gone separate ways, it happens.posted 10/10/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

OBJECTIVE Macrovascular disease may contribute to increased risk of accelerated cognitive decline in patients with type 2 diabetes. We aimed to determine associations of measures of macrovascular disease with cognitive change in a cognitively healthy older population with type 2 diabetes.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Eight-hundred thirty-one men and women (aged 60–75 years) attended two waves of the prospective Edinburgh Type 2 Diabetes Study (ET2DS). At baseline, clinical and subclinical macrovascular disease was measured, including cardiovascular event history, carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), ankle brachial index (ABI), and serum N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). Seven neuropsychological tests were administered at baseline and after 4 years; scores were combined to a standardized general ability factor (g). Adjustment of follow-up g for baseline g assessed 4-year cognitive change. Adjustment for vocabulary (estimated premorbid ability) was used to estimate lifetime cognitive change.
RESULTS Measures of cognitive decline were significantly associated with stroke, NT-proBNP, ABI, and cIMT, but not with nonstroke vascular events. The association of stroke with increased estimated lifetime cognitive decline (standardized β, −0.12) and of subclinical markers with actual 4-year decline (standardized β, −0.12, 0.12, and −0.15 for NT-proBNP, ABI, and cIMT, respectively) reached the Bonferroni-adjusted level of statistical significance (P < 0.006). Results altered only slightly on adjustment for vascular risk factors.
CONCLUSIONS Stroke and subclinical markers of cardiac stress and generalized atherosclerosis are associated with cognitive decline in older patients with type 2 diabetes. Further investigation into the potential use of subclinical vascular disease markers in predicting cognitive decline is warranted.

I love holiday parties, but it seems like I find myself scrambling around at the last minute trying to think of (and buy) hostess gifts. I want to be thoughtful and creative. But I also think sometimes it's ok to go with practical and fun.
The holidays shouldn't be stressful, so I have come up with a few gifts to keep on hand for holiday host gifts, teachers or anyone you may decide to treat this season. Keep a few on hand to give out and if you manage to have anything left over, well, Merry Christmas to you!
7 gifts under $25 for your holiday host
When it comes to host/hostess gifts, I tend to stick to one of two categories; eating and entertainment. You could go in a number of directions depending on your budget and tastes from exotic spices to specialty beer. It's hard to go wrong if you stick to consumables! Especially when you and your host have differing decorating styles. I know I would be happy to get any one of the above items!
Do you have a go-to host/hostess gift?

New NBA Live '08 Screens
60 frames per second. It just has a nice ring to it. It can be the saving grace of any game title. As it stands, whenever someone mentions frames per second and NBA Live in the same sentence, it usually includes profanity. NBA 2007 has been seen by some as the worst offender, and the Live 2008 team is striving to fix the problem.
Not only is EA trying to create the best looking NBA game to date, they are also striving for that magic 60 frames per second. Have they succeeded in their goal? It's hard to say, but these newest screenshots seem verify their claims. The EA series of sports games has a track record of mediocrity in some departments, while some gamers complain that EA makes no real effort for innovation.
NBA Live 2007 was pretty lackluster. Perhaps with the release of a title that some deem as one of the worst in the series, EA has been given renewed vigor to make up for past wrongs. By the looks of things, Live '08 seems as if it may do just that.
Check here to see the game in action for yourself.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter (Credit: EA)
The links, which were pointed out in a New York Times story that ran on Christmas Eve, appeared on a "Partners" page for the game and showcased many of the real-world weapons featured in Warfighter.
"We felt it was inappropriate and took the links down," EA spokesperson Jeff Brown told Polygon.
Weapons and Warfighter have been a long-standing headache for EA. In August, the company found itself under fire for promoting sales of several real-world weapons (including a tomahawk and sniper rifle) that carried Medal of Honor branding and posted a series of blog posts touting the products.
At the time, EA defended the products, but was careful to point out it was not making any money from the sales of the weapons and planned to donate its proceeds to Project Honor, an EA program supporting the Navy Seal Foundation and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
The tragedy in Newtown, CT has reignited the debate about violence in video games, though, with a lot of attention focusing on games like Medal of Honor and Activision's Call of Duty franchise. Activision has not commented on the matter, but that has opened the company up for further criticism by both critics and the gun lobby.
Though EA's partnership with weapons makers is prominent, one company has taken the opportunity to distance itself from games, even though its products are featured in them.
"The gaming and entertainment industry routinely use likenesses of our products without our permission," Ted Novin of the Freedom Group, a Call of Duty franchise marketing partner, told the Times.
The company, he added, was not paid and did not pay for its weapons' representations in the games. Activision did approach it for permission to use the product likenesses, he said, but maintains that Freedom did not reply to that inquiry.

|Protective and nonprotective epitopes from amino termini of M proteins from Australian aboriginal isolates and reference strains of group A streptococci.
|Reference Detail
|Reference ID:
|The M protein is the primary vaccine candidate to prevent group A streptococcal (GAS) infection and the subsequent development of rheumatic fever (RF). However, the large number of serotypes have made it difficult to design a vaccine against all strains. We have taken an approach of identifying amino-terminal M protein epitopes from GAS isolates that are highly prevalent in GAS-endemic populations within the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia. Australian Aboriginals in the NT experience the highest incidence of RF worldwide. To develop a vaccine for this population, 39 peptides were synthesized, representing the amino-terminal region of the M protein from endemic GAS. Mice immunized with these peptides covalently linked to tetanus toxoid and emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant raised high-titer antibodies. Over half of these sera reduced bacterial colony counts by >80% against the homologous isolate of GAS. Seven of the peptide antisera also cross-reacted with at least three other heterologous peptides by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Antiserum to one peptide, BSA10(1-28), could recognize six other peptides, and five of these peptides could inhibit opsonization mediated by BSA10(1-28) antiserum. Cross-opsonization studies showed that six of these sera could opsonize at least one heterologous isolate of GAS. These data reveal vaccine candidates specific to a GAS-endemic area and show the potential of some to cross-opsonize multiple isolates of GAS. This information will be critical when considering which epitopes may be useful in a multiepitope vaccine to prevent GAS infection.

May 6, 2016
Associated Press Release
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Gov. Scott signed a bill that will allow elections supervisors to expand early voting days and sites.
Scott signed the bill Tuesday. It requires elections supervisors to hold eight days of early voting, but gives them the flexibility to hold up to 14 days. That includes the option of the Sunday before Election Day.
Florida was criticized nationally for long lines and counting delays during the 2012 presidential election and many blamed, in part, Scott and the Republican-led Legislature's 2011 decision to cutback early voting from 14 to 8 days.
The 2011 bill that Scott signed also prohibited voting on the Sunday before the election, when many black churches previously held "souls to the polls" voter drives.
The law will take effect Jan. 1.

United Tribes News Speech Archives
Affirming the Spirit of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
Remarks by
Dr. David M. Gipp, President
United Tribes Technical College
October 5, 2007
North Dakota First Nations Day
North Dakota Heritage Center, Bismarck, ND
September 13, 2007 was a very important day for indigenous peoples throughout the world and a day to celebrate. September 13 was the day the United Nations passed the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The vote was 143 in favor, 4 against and 11 abstaining. The countries voting against were the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
My dear friend, Chief Oren Lyons of the Onandaga Nation, was involved in developing the Declaration. It took over 30 years of intense negotiations. Many nations and the "Working Group" of indigenous nations contributed so much to the understanding of the member nations of the United Nations and staff members about the issues facing Indigenous Peoples around the globe. Their efforts also led to the establishment of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Peoples, which meets annually in May in New York City at the United Nations.
What does the UN Declaration mean to Tribal Nations in the United States?
It is a statement by the world's nations declaring that the rights of indigenous peoples are not subject to interference by the host nation.
It is a statement by the world's nations declaring that indigenous peoples have a right to a homeland, that their resources should be protected, that their culture, religion and way of life is not to be interfered with by the host nation.
It is a statement that by the world's nations declaring that each indigenous nation has a right to self-government and self-determination to determine for themselves how to develop their homelands. This is NOT the same kind of "self-determination" that the 93-638 Indian Self-Determination Act talks about. Self-determination is an inherent right of each indigenous nation.
It is a statement by the world's nations declaring that reparations should be made to indigenous nations for the harm done them by host governments so that the rights of the indigenous nations to self-determination are meaningful rights.
In the United States, the Federal government claims it has "full" or "plenary" power in Indian affairs and that it has already compensated the Tribal Nations for harm done to them. The UN Declaration says that the host government does NOT have that kind of right to control indigenous nations. Indigenous nations have the right to determine their own destiny. This is one of the reasons the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia voted against the Declaration. Those nations think they have the right to tell indigenous nations what to do under their laws. The UN Declaration challenges that presumed "right."
The Declaration is not perfect. It was a compromise and included things that weaken the ability of indigenous nations to govern themselves free of outside interference. But it is a good start to creating healthy relationships between indigenous nations and the host nations in which they are located.
What should happen next?
In coming months and years, the issues will be in the interpretation and implementation of the Declaration. Protocols need to be developed that are agreed upon by the United Nations. There is a lot of work to do in this regard.
This is our challenge in the United States how can we reshape U.S. policy about the Tribal Nations in our country to conform to the rights stated in the Declaration? I think the ideals set forth in the Declaration can be achieved, even in the United States.
For example, the United States should begin to do what it has failed to do so far.
First, the federal government should recognize inherent Tribal sovereignty over its lands and the people who live on and come onto those lands.
Second, the federal government should help indigenous nations become as self-sufficient as possible, help the tribes repurchase land within their homelands, help rebuild economies that have long been neglected, provide adequate resources for housing and health care and infrastructure and then.
Third, the United States must let the Tribal Nations decide for themselves how they want to develop further.
These are things that certainly can and ought to be done. They are not as difficult as the United States makes them out to be. These efforts, these kinds of recognitions, do not compromise the "territorial integrity" of the United States, an objection used by the four opposing countries throughout the negotiating process that delayed the adoption of the Declaration for many years.
Opportunity to Work Together
In fact, the Declaration gives the United States and the Tribal Nations within it a great opportunity to work together on these important issues, to resolve centuries of mistrust and misguided federal policy and poorly reasoned U.S. Supreme Court decisions that treat Tribal Nations and their citizens as if they had no rights except what the United States has chosen to give them.
It gives the individual states, like North Dakota, an opportunity to work out relationships with the Tribal Nations within its borders that recognize the sovereignty of the Tribes at the same time recognizing the rights of the state.
There is a lot that can be done. The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Nations, like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is not an absolutely binding document on the member nations of the United Nations. But like the Declaration of Human Rights, the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, gives the host nations and the Tribal Nations within them a benchmark, a set of standards that ought to be followed. Passage of the Declaration is a great opportunity for all of us to work together to achieve common goals. As Sitting Bull said, let us work together and see what we can do for our children.
Thank you for inviting me to speak today.
Thank you.

Blog: First-and-Orange
The Denver Post's NFL reporters post analysis, notes and more on this blog focusing on the Denver Broncos.
- Oct 8:
- Woody Paige: Broncos don't have the weapons to conduct football war
- Mark Kiszla: Broncos' John Fox gets worked by Pats' Bill Belichick
- New England Patriots run over Denver Broncos' defense again
- Broncos' defense remains on field thanks to Patriots' ball control
- Oct 7:
- Brady, Patriots' fast pace leave Broncos gasping in loss
- Patriots' Ridley runs through Broncos despite fumble
- Broncos, Manning not good enough vs. Patriots, Tom Brady
When the Broncos run
Teams haven't had much success pounding the ball at the middle of the Patriots' defense. Bill Belichick, a 3-4 proponent, has lined up New England's defense more in a 4-3 alignment on running downs. Defensive tackle Vince Wilfork has a lot of mileage on him, but he remains a difficult matchup for interior offensive linemen. There's yardage to be found on the edge of the Patriots' defense. Teams have averaged 4.8 yards per carry around the left end and 5.6 yards per carry around the right end. The trick is staying close enough to the Patriots to run the ball.
Edge: Patriots
When the Patriots run
New England has been more willing to run the ball. The Patriots are averaging 34.3 carries per game. Over a whole season, that would be the highest average in the Tom Brady era. Stevan Ridley and rookie Brandon Bolden are big backs who have found room to run against defenses filled with cornerbacks and safeties instead of linebackers. Edge: Patriots
When the Broncos pass
Defensive end Chandler Jones leads the Patriots in sacks and is one of two rookie starters on New England's defense. Linebacker Dont'a Hightower is the other. Teams have thrown the ball deep against left cornerback Devin McCourty with some success. Right cornerback Kyle Arrington had seven interceptions last season. He will gamble to try for interceptions. Look for Denver to take a shot or two at him. Edge: Broncos
When the Patriots pass
New England's passing game stresses a defense at all levels — short, intermediate and deep — with a quarterback headed for the Hall of Fame. Brady has been sacked eight times this season — four by the Cardinals — but for the most part, he has gotten the ball out when the pressure closes in. He's worked the short and intermediate areas to the offensive left most effectively, with a completion rate of 80 percent on those shorter routes. That is cornerback Tracy Porter's side on the Denver defense and Brady figures to kick the tires there, especially early in the game, to see whether Porter is too aggressive. Edge: Patriots
Special teams
The Broncos have a big advantage in the kicking game. With kicker Matt Prater and punter Britton Colquitt, Denver could tip the scales in this game if things get tight. Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski has three misses this year between 40 and 49 yards. Patriots punter Zoltan Mesko has had one kick blocked this season. The Broncos have had a strong rush against punters. Edge: Broncos

Discover the neighborhoods of Samui
Koh Samui is located in the Gulf of Thailand just south of Koh Phang Ngan. Being one of the largest islands in the country, Samui is a favorite island getaway for tourists as well as locals because of its beautiful beaches and relaxed island atmosphere. Samui is served by Samui International Airport which is located in the north near the beaches of Bo Phut and Chaweng.
Chaweng is Samui's most popular beach, and resorts in the area have direct access to the shoreline and the island's exciting night scene.
A 10-minute drive to the south is Lamai beach, which features hotels and resorts that are geared more toward rest and relaxation instead of nightlife. However, those looking for an exciting evening can head to the famous Lamai Walking Street and take in the sights and sounds of Samui nightlife. There is a full range of hotels on Lamai Beach so travelers will find anything from backpacker hostels to luxury villas.
On the northern coast of the island is Bo Phut, which is far less developed than the other beaches and therefore offers a little more seclusion. Ang Thong Marine National Park is also a popular destination among visitors to this island, especially those on a family vacation. Koh Samui is a favorite among vacationers because it offers a great balance between lazy days spent relaxing on the beach and exciting nightlife.
Find out where the hotels, attractions, and must-see destinations of Samui are located by exploring the interactive map on this page.

Re: What are you playing right now?
In all fairness, that sounds EXACTLY like my last car's alarm ;-)... good summary though.
Playing and oldey in the form of
Dead Rising
I played it to death when I got my first Xbox. Every time I died I'd start anew, both because it felt like the "proper" way to play it, and you got to keep your stat improvements from each game. Then my Xbox broke, and really couldn't be arsed to start completely fresh...
Seems to be an under-rated game. It's a lot of fun, great sense of humour, and although repeatative, the combat has a satisfying weight behind it. Only downside is the combination of weak AI and escorting survivors to the safe place, which I can see that critics would identify as a major downfall. It's a really enjoyable piece of programming, and look forward to completing it this time.
About to start a new game of
Castlevania-Lords Of Shadow
, another game I never finished. I remember it being a minor classic in my book, so really can't wait to get stuck into it again.

Breastfeeding and premature birth are compatible. If you were preparing to breastfeed your baby, premature birth is no reason to give up that dream. It is natural to feel helpless if your child requires a lot of medical attention. Good communication with your doctor and other members of the hospital staff will allow you to be as involved as possible with your child at this time.
Babies born as a result of a premature birth often have special needs. Premature babies are smaller and be can more susceptible to infection. Your baby may require significant time inside a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit which will make it very hard for you to directly breastfeed. Pumping breast milk for your premature baby is a great way for you as a mother to be involved in restoring your baby to health. Pumping breast milk will provide your child with the ideal source of nourishment and keep your breast milk supply ready for when your newborn can effectively nurse. Breastfeeding research has found the benefits of breast milk to premature or sick babies to be more pronounced.
If for health reasons you cannot provide your own breast milk to your premature child. You can look into the availability of donated breast milk through a human milk bank to provide the benefits of breast milk to your premature child.

Grizzlies advance to section tennis final
By: Press Tribune sports staff
The Granite Bay High boys tennis team earned its way into the section title tilt against SFL rival Del Oro with a win on Monday at Bella Vista. The Grizzlies completely dominated the contest, winning eight of the nine matches. "Our kids did a great job," said Granite Bay coach Jim Yoakum. "They have an excellent team but we were just a little stronger down the line." Granite Bay's No. 4 singles player, freshman Jake Keester, was the lone Grizzly to drop a match. "He played a very strong and steady young man and that a bad combination for us," Yoakum said. "Jake took it to three sets and fought well. They also had a very strong man at No. 3 but Kyle Pawlak played amazingly well when the pressure was on and won 7-5 in the third set." The Grizzlies visited Del Oro Tuesday in the section final. Full results of Granite Bay vs. Bella Vista: Singles No. 1 Max Vogt GB def. Derrick Thatcher 6-0,6-1 No. 2 Drew Forlini GB def. Peter Conner 6-2,7-6 No. 3 Kyle Pawlak GB def.

An intelligence bulletin issued to law enforcement includes a picture of a mangled pressure cooker and a torn black bag that the FBI says were part of a bomb that exploded during the Boston Marathon.
The bulletin was obtained by The Associated Press.
The FBI says it has evidence that indicates one of the bombs that exploded in the Boston Marathon was contained in a pressure cooker with nails and ball bearings, and it was hidden in a backpack.
The FBI says the other explosive was in a metal container, but there wasn't enough evidence to indicate that it was a pressure cooker.
It was not known what was used to set off the two explosives that killed three people Monday and injured more than 170 others.

Finding the Music in Data and the Data in Music
For those who like their competitions short and sweet, we're hosting another 24-hour hackathon THIS SATURDAY. The Music Data Hackathon is being organized by Data Science London on a subset of the EMI Million Interview Dataset. This is a rich, newly released collection of market research on the tastes and listening habits of music fans all over the world (and it gave us an excuse to put a pretty girl on the front page, which Marketing assures me will drive participation) . The Data will be made available 24 hours prior to the start of the comp (Friday, 1pm London time; Submissions open Saturday 1pm London time). There is also a Visualization Track, hosted on the Kaggle Prospect interface, for the data artists among you.
Recently Finished
Kaggle's inaugural Facebook Recruiting Competition ended last week. 422 individuals turned out to compete on this social network challenge. Facebook has already begun reviewing the top finishers. We're thrilled to see the level of engagement this comp generated and are planning to launch several more recruiting competitions later this summer.
Recently Launched
July's off to a brisk start with four comps already up and running! The month started with a classic information retrieval competition on consumer product mentions from the web. Try your hand at disambiguating product mentions from user-generated web content using a dataset of hundreds of thousands text items and a product catalog of nearly 15 million products. Prizes include $10,000 and a presentation at the ICDM2012 conference in Brussels this December.
We're continuing our efforts in healthcare with two new health related data sets (props to Kaggle's growing health and life science efforts). First up is the Diabetes Classification competition from Practice Fusion. Starting with a Prospect challenge, we've seen enthusiastic engagement in our community with this electronic health records data release. At just over a week since competition start, we've already got 35 teams competing for $10,000 in prize money, plus beta access to the Practice Fusion API being released later this year.
Our second health related data set is more personal in nature. Ian Clements came to us and asked for our help in his struggle against bladder cancer. We are humbled by his efforts and are sharing his data with the wider world on our website.
And right out of the gate with a launch yesterday is a competition looking to help organizations target and recruit loyal supporters and donors via direct mail appeals. There's lots to be optimized as direct mail is effective but can be expensive and have low efficiency, hindering organizations from pursuing their Missions. Total prize pool is $10,000 and the comp ends September 18.
Persistence, Luck, and Persistence
On a final note, for those of you who just can't get enough of Kaggle communications, I want to encourage you to check out some great user-generated content that has been posted on No Free Hunch in the last few weeks. Gregory Park helps us all learn from his overfitting mistakes with his post How to drop 50 spots in 1 minute. Kaggle CiC intern Naftali Harris provides code and tutorials for how to get started building an LDA model on the WordPress JSON dataset.
Finally, Vik Paruchuri's response to the Quora question "What do top Kaggle competitors focus on?" was so spot-on that we decided to republish it on NFH.

|In the Battle of the Sexes, Men aren't Doing So Well
|News Releases - General Info
|Written by Ginny Grimsley
|Wednesday, 10 April 2013 13:24
Author Offers 3 Tips to Level the Playing Field
The headlines would be comical if they weren't so sad – and numerous.
"YOUNG WOMAN SCAMS LOVE STRUCK ELDERLY MAN OUT OF $200,000" (Elk Grove, Calif., January 2013)
"Just Google and you'll find all kinds of news stories about men who willingly give up their cash, their luxury cars, even an ex-wife's diamond ring," as in the Elk Grove case, says Charles D. Martin, author of "Provocateur," (www.provocateurbook.com), a novel about smart, beautiful women and the power they wield over men.
"As men, we never like to admit that we may be outsmarted by a woman – but the truth is, it is happening all the time!"
And it's getting worse, for men.
"Women are far outpacing men in numbers of college degrees. They now outnumber men, earning almost 60 percent of college degrees," Martin says. "And while that doesn't necessarily make them 'smarter' than men, it sure does add to their advantage."
In addition women have other (obvious) advantages.
"In the presence of a sexy woman, men lose their ability to think or act rationally," Martin says. "That's an enormous advantage for women! Men do not realize that it is women that are in charge of the mating process."
How can men level the playing field? Martin has some suggestions:
About Charles D. Martin

An established business writer, his first novel focuses on the intrigue that often exists between alpha females that take on – and conquer – dominant males. Martin lives with his wife in a coastal town south of Los Angeles.
