Lance in spotlight on, off the course
Updated: July 23, 2009, 6:58 PM ETBy Bonnie D. Ford | ESPN.com
ANNECY, France -- Lance Armstrong's performance in Thursday's time trial was good enough to give him a toehold on the third and last perch of the Tour de France podium, which would be a welcome if unaccustomed spot for him in his comeback season.
Off the road, he established a much firmer grip on his own future. The announcement that Armstrong will race for a team sponsored by the RadioShack electronics chain in 2010 brings one of the world's most famous American athletes back under ...

Being busy is a good thing! Only means your living life to it's fullest... I respect and admire that. But a big part of enjoying life also means holding your child, kissing your spouse, calling your mother, talking with a friend, enjoying a nice meal... or even a cup of coffee. It doesn't offend me if you forget to enjoy even the simplest little joys in life.... but you won't get two chances.
That isn't me "being be a preachy knob".... it's just the way things are. And BTW.... I took time management training myself. It was helpful. Hope your knee recovers OK.

"The development of the Oncotype DX DCIS Score is in direct response to recommendations of an expert panel convened by the National Cancer Institute in 2009 to develop and validate new tools to identify which women with DCIS may be spared radiation therapy and which are at greatest risk of developing invasive cancers that require more aggressive therapy, including chemotherapy," said Joseph A. Sparano, M.D., therapeutic chair of the ECOG-ACRIN Breast Cancer Committee; professor of medicine (oncology) and professor of obstetrics, gynecology, and women's health at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine; and associate chairman of the Department of Oncology at Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, New York.The study demonstrated that 70 percent of patients who met the eligibility criteria for participation in ECOG E5194 had a low DCIS Score and may be able to forego radiation therapy. Compared with patients whose tumor had an intermediate or high DCIS Score, patients with a low DCIS Score had a significantly lower likelihood of a local recurrence at 10 years (about 11 percent vs. 26 percent, respectively). In addition, a low DCIS Score was associated with a significantly lower risk of developing invasive breast cancer, which was approximately 4 percent in the low score group, 12 percent in the intermediate score group, and 19 percent in the high score group. The DCIS Score was predictive of local recurrence across patient subgroups regardless of lesion size, grade, surgical margins, or menopausal status.

I can't seem to set a ContentTemplate for a ComboBoxItem. There reason I'm trying to do this is I want to have 2 appearances for my data in the combo box. When the combo box is open (menu is down) I want a text box (with the name of the image) and an image control below it. When I select the item I want the combo box to just show a text box with the name of the image.
I thought I could achieve this by modifying the ItemTemplate and ItemContainerStyle of the ComboBox. The ItemContainerStyle contains the following ContentPresenter:
<ContentPresenter HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" x:Name="contentPresenter" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}"/>
So I assumed that I could just set the ContentTemplate here and it would work. But I can't seem to get it to work:
<DataTemplate x:Key="ComboBoxDataTemplate">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path='Name'}"/>
<DataTemplate x:Key="ComboBoxItemTemplate">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path='Name'}"/>
<Image Source="{Binding Path='Source'}" Width="64" Height="64"/>
<Style x:Key="ComboBoxItemStyle1" TargetType="ComboBoxItem">
<Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource ComboBoxItemTemplate}"/>
Here's my combo box:
<ComboBox Width="70" Margin="3,0,0,0"
ItemsSource="{StaticResource Source}"
ItemTemplate="{StaticResource ComboBoxDataTemplate}"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ComboBoxItemStyle1}"
The only way I can get this to work is to remove the ContentPresenter from the ItemContainerStyle, and replace it with the contents of my custom template (ComboBoxItemTemplate). But I didn't think I should use this approach as it would mean the ContentPresenter no longer exists (and code in the ComboBox might rely on it existing).
Any help on showing a combo box with a different drop down and selected template would be greatly appreciated!

Figured I would jump into the deep end of the pool and build myself a wheelset for my year-round commuter cross bike. It will use a SON dynohub.
My problem is I am unfamiliar with all the various products out there, especially rims. I could use some suggestions on what components to look at.
I want to do this right with good components. I'm aiming for strength and reliability.
The bike is a Specialized Tricross (10-speed rear end) with disc brakes (Avid BB5). I weigh ~180 lbs and frequently carry 20+ lbs of groceries in a rear basket. I ride ~4-5k miles a year in all weather on some chipseal, so tires are ~35 mm 700c's. Unless there is a good reason to use prestas, I'm thinking I'd like to go with schrader valves.
Weight is not a big deal (the bike weighs 36 lbs), but I do like to ride fast.
I was thinking of some deepish rims, maybe 36-hole (?) to handle the weight on bumps at speed. I dunno. The rear hub is another thing I could use input on. I was looking at Shimano Dura-Ace or Phil Wood. I like the idea of a hub I can service and will last.
Any thoughts? What would you put together given those parameters?

They fit! Unlike the first pair I made, these actually go around my heel. I started at the leg instead of the toe. The only thing I would do differently next time is to use the three needle bind off and not the Kitchener stitch. I can't seem to get that one right.

It was a tough call, really tough.
I am honestly not well prepared to defend it.
My question is this. Will I forfeit my religious exemption once I've converted? and would a rabbi ever support my decision?
Why not the endoresement? Isn't it good for health and humanity?
Who doesn't endorese it? What do you mean by that?
The Lubavitcher Rebbe did in fact say one should. I remember seeing it in a neshei chabad when the subject was debated.
Galaga My Dr. Actually reccomended delaying the DTap for all my kids. by a few months and then for the booster ones a little longer. She has some patients that do them seperatley as well. I have never had a problem with them going to school or camps.
-J- 3 Kids and 1 goldfish
There is a difference between saying MY Rabbi doesn't endorce and Rabbis don't endorce.
Perfectly calm :) However, those two statements are very different and its important to point out because who knows who will read this. Nor does not endorce means the same as not persaude.

I would think all people have inner voices. Some hear them, others picture their ramblings and others experience them as moods. These inner voices are I believe from our past, imprints from others that latch onto us like parasites and live off of our moods and restlessness. The voices don't lie, they speak, or replay the truth they believe, but trustworthy they are not. We either have a relationship with these voices, or they will have a controlling association with us.
Inner voices
When hearing these inner promptings, they need not be believed nor acted upon. However they must not be made into an enemy, for at bottom, they are there to protect us, and perhaps there was a time in life when some of these voices were needed, but their time passes, but their strength can grow.
We are called to love ourselves, to love what God sees, which is everything within us, no matter how well buried. To embrace and not fight our compulsive inner darkness, but to present to the Lord as our gift, the only bequest we can truly give, which is our inability to grow and heal without grace and mercy.
Moral agendas are not what we are called to; we are called to a new life, one of love and of allowing Jesus' healing into our hearts. True morality flows from understanding the love that God has for all of us, without exception. This leads us to truly understand what Jesus meant when he stated: Whatsoever you do to the least of these, you do unto me". When truly loving, we plant seeds within all whom we meet and as we mature, we begin to see their oneness, or perhaps we see Christ oneness with them. When we love one another, we allow that oneness to grow and deepen and bear fruit. We plant and God waters, others have planted seeds of life in us and we spread the word by allowing the love and kindness of Christ Jesus to grow in us.

Show Stoppers Poster by blingingjakWatch

Fun Filly Fact: I mainly used Illustrator

Thats my birthday YAY!
Broadway typeface? I like it, but I got a feeling that a lecturer might not. Call it a hunch >.> Usually my lecturer prefers everyone to try something unexpected different and new. Colours are nice and the shapes looks nice and sharp - good for printing (hope ya did it 300 dpi)
Yeah its in 300dpi and he likes the font because it goes well with the whole old Broadway poster feel that I was going for. How ever he docked me some point since I traced the vector mask I got from Photoshop and made it in to a silhouette instead of using the mask its self which would or ruined the whole thing. :/
Yes, it does have that classy Broadway feel ^_^ If you mean having the three ponies in colour? It could be interesting, since it would contrast nicely with the rest of the design. Bright colours meeting grungier ones. Personally I can't recall such a design since when you consider it usually you'd want a consistent and sensible design. ...most of the time Though as the design it's attractive and eye catching - two things you want when visually communicating something
I would buy tickets. Fun, understated design! I remember having to come up with things like this for design classes. If only I had ponies to work with back then.

University of LondonLondon, England, United Kingdom
- 34 Masters
- Public Institution Type
The University of London is unlike many other universities. It consists of 19 self governing Colleges and 10 other smaller specialist research Institutes. In many ways the Colleges are considered universities in their own right: they set their own entrance criteria for their courses and they offer their own services to students. Some now also have their own degree awarding powers. All students from all the Colleges and Institutes are also University of London students, making them part of a community of over 120,000 students and giving them access to many services in London.
Did you know that when making your application through UCAS you can apply to up to five University of London Colleges? They are all considered separate institutions when it comes to applying. Postgraduate students apply directly to the College or Colleges they wish to study with.
Many levels of study are covered at the University of London including Foundation degrees, undergraduate and postgraduate degrees and diplomas and research degrees. The Colleges also have a wide range of short courses and summer programmes. Pre-university school students are also able to sample University of London courses and life through the Taster Course programme.

As well as offering a world class education the University has a range of other services on offer including a careers service, data archiving and networking, library services, conference facilities and you can even use University buildings for location filming.
Many organisations offer scholarships or grants. Some of these might help you to study for a Master at University of London!

Forged ProductsForged Products' sales increased by 39 percent year over year, growing to $1.06 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 from $762 million last year. Second quarter results included a full quarter of Texas Honing and TIMET. The segment improved year-over-year operating income by 65 percent, delivering $258 million of operating income, or 24.3 percent of sales, in the quarter, versus $156 million, or 20.5 percent of sales, a year ago. The segment's three primary nickel conversion mills saw alloy selling prices decline by approximately $37 million year over year, and lower prices for revert and other alloys negatively impacted sales by an additional $17 million. Contractual pass-through pricing in the second quarter was essentially flat compared to last year. For the quarter, Forged Products' aerospace sales grew by approximately 47 percent compared to the same quarter last year. The base businesses improved sales year over year, compounded by the addition of a full quarter of TIMET. Similar to Investment Cast Products, the segment is well-positioned to benefit from ramps in commercial aircraft build rates and the acceleration of the new re-engining narrow-body platforms. In the power market, sales also improved year over year by more than 15 percent, driven by increased demand for downhole casing and interconnect pipe. TIMET continued to outstrip the Company's initial expectations, establishing an improved competitive position going forward. Forged Products achieved these results during the quarter while also successfully meeting the challenge of rebuilding the 29,000-ton forging press in Houston on time and under budget.

Just to follow up on my story concerning the area near the State Theater that will have a garden ("What kind of store burned?" Reader Input, June 7).
As to the building that burned down there, I have talked to longtime residents and friends that said that it was originally Hancock's Hardware, but when Mr. Hancock died, it was bought and turned into a paint store called Smith Family Paints, which would explain the intensity of the fire when all that paint caught fire. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Bob Ford for their help with this.

A country boy can survive
Published: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 at 8:29 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 at 8:29 a.m.
I read in the paper that some young boys in our area may become stressed out due to the BP oil spill because they can't go fishing or to the beaches with their dads, as their dads are working for BP picking up the oil.
There was a picture on the front page of a young man walking barefoot with a fishing pole in his hand by a bayou. This picture brought back many fond memories for me. It is a Class A picture, an American boy doing what boys have done for many, many years.
This is the way my friends and I grew up. Most of our fathers worked hard and long hours. They really didn't have much time to spend with us. We learned how to swim, shoot a gun, fish and hunt on our own, and we were dang good at it.
Real boys don't ever stop, and the only way they could get stressed out over this mess would be if they could never swim in the bayous or fish or ride their bikes or walk in the woods. Just growing up, going to school, maybe joining the military is stress enough.
These young men of tomorrow will do just fine, and, as the song Hank Williams Jr. wrote and sang says, "A Country Boy Can Survive." So will they.
God bless America and our brave servicemen and women.

short rations that the Army might have guns and tanks and airplanes. It was he who bred the generation of young fanatics in love with the art of war. It was he who seemed last week to be closing the covers on four centuries of European history."
Lives, too, will be necessary. P. J. Philip cables from Paris, "'There will be 20,000,000 dead and destruction everywhere before this business is finished', one commentator said today". (N.Y. Times, June 2) June 7, 1940
London cable to N. Y. Times, Feb. 4, 1941, "Cost of war to Britain $16,000,- 000,000 for year", is about the same as the U. S. is planning to spend. We are good spenders. World War I cost America almost as much as it did Britain. Britain may be able to unload a larger part of the cost on us. They notify us that for the 60 days ending March 31, they will need 600,000 pounds or about something short of $3,000,000.
The New England Letter of the First National Bank of Boston, early in 1941, said, "The present war is the costliest conflict in history. British expenditures are placed at nearly 15 billion dollars a year. On a population basis, this would be the equivalent of about 45 billion dollars annually for the United States". Paul Mallon, Oct. 25, 1940, reported, "Defense commission publicity . . . disclosed expenditures are now running at a rate of $200,000,000 a month. Last year, long before the defense commission was established, the rate of expenditure was $100,000,000 a month. Current plans contemplate a hopeful outlay of $1,000,- 000,000 a month, from 13 to 18 months hence".

I'm confronted with the task of making a C++ app scriptable by users. The app has been in development for several years with no one wasting a thought on this before. It contains all sorts of niceties like multithreading, template wizardry and multiple inheritance. As the scripting language, Python is preferred, but Lua might be accepted if it is significantly easier to implement.
Question 1
From what I have learned so far, there are broadly speaking two ways to integrate Python/Lua with C++ : "extending" and "embedding".
In this case, it looks like I need both. The scripting language need access to objects, methods and data from the app but needs to be called by the app once the user has written the script - without restarting anything.
How is this usually done in the real world?
Question 2
There seems to be a bewildering array of of manual solutions and binding generators out there, all of them less than perfect.
- swig, pyste, Py++, ctypes, Boost.Python sip, PyCXX, pybindgen, robin, (Cython/Pyrex, Weave)
- CppLua, Diluculum, Luabind, Luabridge, LuaCpp, Luna/LunaWrapper, MLuaBind, MultiScript, OOLua, SLB, Sweet Lua, lux (this list from the lua wiki)
- CPB, tolua, tolua++, toLuaxx, luna and again swig
Most commments on these found on the web are a little out of date. For example, swig is said to be difficult in non-trivial cases and to generate incomprehensible code. OTOH, it has recently gone to v2.0.
Some of the above use pygccxml to let gcc analyze the C++ code and then genarate the binding. I find this idea appealing, as gcc probably understands the code better than i do :-). Does this work well?
Testing them all might easily cost me half of the time allocated for the whole project.
So, which ones do you recommend?

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- The U. S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said today that federal disaster assistance has been extended to three additional Missouri counties as a result of the severe storms, tornadoes and flooding that began hitting the state April 19.
Carter, Lawrence and Wayne join the 22 counties that have already been designated for Federal Individual Assistance under the presidential disaster declaration. These are Bollinger, Butler, Cape Girardeau, Dunklin, Howell, Jasper, McDonald, Mississippi, New Madrid, Newton, Pemiscot, Pettis, Phelps, Pulaski, Reynolds, Ripley, St. Francois, St. Louis, Scott, Stoddard, Stone, and Taney counties.
"We're happy to announce that assistance to individuals and families will soon be available to eligible Missourians in three more counties," said FEMA Federal Coordinating Officer Libby Turner.
Anyone who had disaster-related damage and loss may register online anytime at www.disasterassistance.gov. Those with smartphones may register through m.fema.gov. You may also register by calling the FEMA toll-free registration line at 800-621-FEMA (3362). If you have a speech disability or hearing loss and use a TTY, call 1-800-462-7585 directly; if you use 711 or Video Relay Service (VRS), call 1-800-621-3362. The hours are from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., local time, seven days a week until further notice. Multilingual operators are available.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.
FEMA's temporary housing assistance and grants for public transportation expenses, medical and dental expenses, and funeral and burial expenses do not require individuals to apply for an SBA loan. However, applicants who receive SBA disaster loan applications must submit them to SBA loan officers to be eligible for assistance that covers personal property, vehicle repair or replacement, and moving and storage expenses.
Disaster recovery assistance is available without regard to race, color, religion, nationality, sex, age, disability, English proficiency or economic status. If you or someone you know has been discriminated against, call FEMA toll-free at 800-621-FEMA (3362). For TTY call 800-462-7585.

Even if you haven't read the book or suffered through beers with someone who has, you probably know the moneyball concept: Find undervalued players and buy them on the cheap. And when it comes to low-value players, the Seattle Seahawks have them in spades, meaning that at your fantasy football draft, they could be ripe for the taking in later rounds, while your buddies are busy finding third-string kickers.
Here are five Seahawks who could give your team a big boost at little cost.
Robert Turbin
One player you won't find on this list is Marshawn Lynch, that Skittle-guzzling son-of-a-gun who's expected to enter beast-mode early and often this season. I'm not saying you shouldn't draft him; I'm just saying he's about as undervalued as a Rolls-Royce. But along with his less-than-restful off-season (read DUI), there are reasons to be wary of Lynch, not least of which is the back that kept him sidelined in last Friday's game against Kansas City.
Enter Robert Turbin, ostensibly the Seahawk's no. 2 half-back who went ape against the hapless Chiefs and will be Pete Carroll's go-to man the second Lynch appears hobbled, drunk or ineffective. And even if you are bullish on Lynch, Turbin is a good hedge. If Lynch does sit out a game, expect Turbin to get lots of touches.
Matt Flynn
So Russell Wilson gets the start, huh? I'm predicting Matt Flynn taking snaps by the second half. Granted, we here at the Seattle Weekly have an editorial bias for Flynn - we named him the Best Seahawk while he was still reeking of Green Bay cheddar - but seriously, it's hard to fathom that a QB who was the heir apparent in the Packers dynasty sit behind a rookie for long. And need we remind you that in Flynn's one NFL start, he racked up 480 yards and SIX touchdowns? Be like Carroll and put Flynn on your bench, then send him in on week 2.
Sidney Rice
Every year is going to be Rice's year. Every year it's not. There's a good chance this season will go down like all the rest, but there's also a chance that Rice could go bonkers on account of three things:
1. Matt Hasselbeck is not his quarterback.
2. Charlie Whitehurst is not his quarterback.
3. Tavaris Jackson is not his quarterback.
As mentioned before, who WILL be his quarterback is up for some debate, but all options are looking better than what came before. If Rice can stay healthy, he could be a nice receiver to have when the match-ups are right.
Seattle Seahawks Defense
Not only will picking the Seahawks' D put the loudest stadium in the league on your side, but by virtue of the NFC West, it will give you two match-ups each against Sam "Ain't in Oklahoma Anymore" Bradford of the Rams, Alex "A Good Defense is the Best Offense" Smith of the 49ers, and God-knows-who of the Cardinals. In other words, there's serious potential for rotten offensive performances on the part of the Seahawks' opponents, and to help their lot, the Hawks drafted five new players for their front seven, what ESPN calls a league-high.
Braylon Edwards
Yeah, so he's a diva. And so he's had brushes with the law (need with discuss Lynch again?). If the quarterback situation goes as well as we deluded Seattleites think it will, some wide receiver is going to have to be a favorite, and it could be Edwards. He's got size that Rice doesn't offer, plus speed. If Rice gets injured, as he often does, Edwards becomes even more attractive.

My friends and I are somewhat competitive with each other. I know its juvenile, especially for a guy who is about to qualify for the Fifty Plus forum, but everything will be a race: First one to the top of the mountain, first one down the hill, sprints, etc. My question is do you think I should bring my road bike (titanium litespeed) in a trico case, for the potential added advantage, or bring my Bike Friday Pocket Pilot, for the simple convenience of travel?

Stephen Engel, Chair
Stephen M. Engel
Associate Professor
Pettengill Hall, Room 178
Women and Gender Studies
Wesleyan University (B.A., 1998); New York University (M.A., 2001); Yale University (M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D., 2009)
I am Associate Professor and Chair of Politics at Bates College and an Affiliated Scholar of the American Bar Foundation in Chicago (www.abfn.org). My research and teaching focuses on American political development, constitutional law, and social movements, particularly LGBTQ socio-political and legal mobilization.
I have authored two books. American Politicians Confront the Courts: Opposition Politics and Changing Responses to Judicial Power (Cambridge University Press 2011) is a cross-institutional analysis that examines how changing understandings over time of loyal opposition has influenced elected branch relations with the federal judiciary. The Unfinished Revolution: Social Movement Theory and the Gay and Lesbian Movement (Cambridge University Press 2001) evaluates how the distinct political institutional environments of the US and the UK affected the development, strategies, and goals of the LGBTQ rights movements in each country.
I am currently finishing two book projects. The first, in production with NYU Press, is Fragmented Citizens: Changing Recognition of Gay and Lesbian Lives (expected spring 2016). It examines state and non-state institutional regulation and recognition of sexuality since the late nineteenth century in the United States. My intention is to consider LGBTQ politics not only as a matter of social movement but also, and primarily, as a politics of partial and always fragmented citizenship and exclusion. The second book, The Progressives' Century: Political Reform, Constitutional Government, and the Making of the American State (expected fall 2016) is an edited volume with Stephen Skowronek (Perit Professor of Political Science at Yale University) and Bruce Ackerman (Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale University). Bringing together over twenty historians, political scientists, economists, and legal academics, this book evaluates a century's worth of progressive legal, political, and constitutional reform to consider its resilience or exhaustion and to propose alternative formulations that might advance the cause of democratic renewal.
The common aim of my research is to gauge how institutional and ideational environments motivate, constrain, or otherwise affect political behavior and to explain changes over time in legal and political outcomes. To accomplish this, my work utilizes a variety of qualitative and historical methods and engages scholarship from multiple disciplines including history, law, and sociology.
My research has been supported by grants from and fellowships with

- American Bar Foundation
- Oscar M. Ruebhausen Fund of the Yale Law School
- Institute for Social and Policy Studies at Yale University

"Engel contributes a new, significant piece to the historical understanding of the way that elected officials regard and interact with the US judiciary. By Engel's analysis, conflicts between the elected branches and the courts have been dramatically reshaped, now taking the form of "measures that harness judicial power for political ends" rather than actions that more directly undermine judicial legitimacy. Engel identifies this trend on the strength of his own exhaustive and painstaking historical work, starting with the early republic and extending all the way through the George W. Bush administration. In the process, he helps readers newly appreciate how originalism, signing statements, filibusters, and other tools of political power really work. Though the title suggests the possibility of a slightly broader scope (Engel's analysis of the conflict is primarily limited to partisan debates and disagreements), his study is still groundbreaking by any definition. Summing Up: Highly recommended." Choice

"The Unfinished Revolution is remarkable for the elegance of its intellectual architecture." The Gay & Lesbian Review
"In a comparative case study of US and British gay and lesbian movements since WWII, Engel engages new social movement theory and theories of collective action, integrating analysis of political opportunity structures into a political process model that accounts for the when and why of social mobilization…. A useful contribution to gay and lesbian studies and general social movement scholarship, especially in sociology." Choice
