We're not sure why every website online seems to be so "shocked" by this news, considering Brad and Angelina have basically been married for seven years now. We all know marriage is just a label, anyway. Brad's manager, Cynthia Pett-Dante released a statement confirming the engagement, but says there is no wedding date yet. Right now, the engagement is just a "promise for the future." (Isn't adopting 23456 children kind of a promise to the future, too?)
The two love-birds first met while they were filming, 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' in 2005. They had previously said that they would NOT get married 'til gay people could get married, but admitted that their children really wanted them to get married.
Well, congratulations! Hopefully the wedding happens before 2019! Our fingers are crossed.

text: National Survey of Surgeons on Trauma Care Issues, March-July 1993 Esposito, Thomas J. emergency departments health insurance Health Maintenance Organizations health professions hospitals Medicaid medical education medical procedures Medicare patients surgery trauma centers This study investigated surgeons' practice patterns, experience and training in trauma care, and preferences and opinions about caring for trauma patients. Practice pattern variables include surgical specialty, type of surgical practice arrangement, type of appointment with a medical school or university, membership in the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, the American College of Surgeons, or the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, and whether the respondents' patients paid their bills through private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, or an HMO. In addition, respondents were queried about their primary hospital, including number of beds, types of physicians employed in the trauma or emergency department, whether the hospital was officially recognized as a trauma center, whether it had a separate clinical trauma service with oversight and responsibility for the care of trauma patients, whether surgical patients were covered 24 hours a day by a resident or in-house physician, and whether there was 24-hour coverage by a resident or in-house physician in the hospital's Intensive Care Unit. To assess experience and training in trauma care, respondents were asked how often they were inappropriately called to evaluate and treat trauma patients, if they had taken trauma call at any hospital during the last 12 months, how many trauma patients they treated during the last 12 months and for what percent of them they received compensation, whether they had taken the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) Course in the last four years, how much they had learned about trauma from residency training, post-residency fellowship, combat duty in the Armed Forces, journal articles, and colleagues, how confident they were in their ability to provide resuscitation, diagnosis, operative care, and critical care, if they had ever been named in a malpractice suit in a trauma case, non-trauma emergency case, or non-emergency case in certain disease categories, and whether this litigation made them reluctant to take on these types of cases. Preferences and opinions on the care of trauma patients were investigated through questions that asked respondents if they preferred to treat adult or pediatric trauma patients, if they preferred to treat blunt or penetrating trauma, and how taking care of trauma patients affected their image with their peers and community. Respondents were also queried about incentives and disincentives for treating trauma patients, reasons for not providing trauma care, opinions on how trauma cases compared with other emergency cases, and opinions on how various aspects of trauma care in their community were deficient. The data also include information on the age, gender, and geographic location (census region) of the respondents. 6265 http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR06265.v1 04-28-1998 survey data self-enumerated questionnaires and telephone interviews United States 1993-03-02--1993-07-01

I need to create a Set of objects. The concern is I do not want to base the hashing or the equality on the objects' hashCode and equals implementation. Instead, I want the hash code and equality to be based only on each object's reference identity (i.e.: the value of the reference pointer).
I'm not sure how to do this in Java.
The reasoning behind this is my objects do not reliably implement equals or hashCode, and in this case reference identity is good enough.

Matthews Makes Top 10 Defensive Players
After last week's edition of ESPN's NFL power rankings, top helmets in the NFL, I half expected this week's edition to focus on best colors. Of course, they went and pulled something somewhat relevant out — top 10 defensive players. Clay Matthews was the only member of the Green Bay Packers to make the top 10, finishing fifth. Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu was the consensus No. 1.

Community leaders react
■ Glen Robertson, mayor
"I think it is great for Lubbock and it is great for Texas Tech. Sen. Duncan has been a tremendous public servant, and I think he is going to do great things for our community and Texas Tech combined."
■ Berhl Robertson, superintendent of Lubbock Independent School District
"(I am) very, very, very proud for Sen. Duncan to receive the chancellorship. I think he deserves it, and I think he'll be fantastic for Texas Tech University as chancellor. I think it's going to be a great loss to Texas public schools because of his great leadership in the Senate."
■ Steve Massengale, former head of LISD Board of Trustees, former candidate Texas House District 83
"I'm very interested in the state representative seat still. If Charles (Perry) decided to run for the Senate seat, then I would be interested. I think it's premature to determine my interest in the Senate seat, although I've had several people already call and visit with me about it."
■ U.S. Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R-Lubbock
"The regents have chosen a strong leader, and I know Bob Duncan will provide a clear vision for Tech's continued growth. Bob has been a great state representative and senator, and more importantly, a great friend. He will excel as Tech's new chancellor, and he and his wife, Terri, will be make a great first couple."
As Neugebauer plainly says, the most important thing of all is that he is a friend.
This election year Randy knows he needs all the "friends" he can muster to get back to his yacht in DC- and it won't happen.
Retire Randy this November.

There are some local figures whose reliability is a source of comfort. It feels good to know that Nate Robinson will send a shout-out to the 206 when the camera goes in for a close-up, Pat Cashman will live up to his name and remain a presence in our lives by signing an endorsement deal with Taco Time, and Seattle rep-for-life Jim McDermott will continue to carry the weight for liberals everywhere by doing things like introducing universal health care legislation.
Yesterday, McDermott officially introduced the House Bill 1200, or the American Health Security Act. Notable co-sponsors include Bremerton's own Norm Dicks and, of course, Dennis Kucinich. Under the bill, says McDermott's press release:[E]ach State would establish and manage the oversight of its own health care plan starting from a floor of basic health care benefits that would be established by the federal government. Every American would be covered under McDermott's plan and the federal government would act as a single payer, eliminating waste and channeling dollars to their intended purpose of health care service delivery.
We'd do our best Lavarr Burton and tell you you don't have to take our word for it, but the pdf of the bill is apparently too large a file for the blog. So until the Library of Congress uploads it, you'll have to miss out on the 113 pages of light reading with 18th century font and formatting. (It's like Tristram Shandy, but less fun).

The 39-year-old Coinstar employee seemed to know just what he was doing. Wearing a company shirt and jacket, Michael R. Burns strolled with purpose...
The 39-year-old Coinstar employee seemed to know just what he was doing.
Wearing a company shirt and jacket, Michael R. Burns strolled with purpose into an Albertsons supermarket in Lynnwood in January, opened up the Coinstar kiosk and went to work, according to police.
But he wasn't repairing anything, police say.
Police allege that the Maple Valley man, who was trained to service the company's broken coin-counting machines, used his inside knowledge to steal more than $441,000 from that machine and others like it across Western Washington, Oregon and California. During the weekend of April 26, police claim, Burns flew to California and stole $225,000 from several Coinstar kiosks there.

According to court documents, Burns, who worked at the company's manufacturing center in Kent, accessed the machines' cash boxes using a key, a security bypass code and "a backdoor feature only known to someone with intimate knowledge of these machines."
Dave Wold, spokesman for the Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, said Burns was charged with first-degree theft Tuesday in Everett District Court.
Police and company officials said they are still investigating and are not yet certain of the size and scope of the thefts. Police refused to say whether additional arrests were possible.
According to court documents, police have recovered about $130,000 in cash from Burns' home and car.
Bellevue-based Coinstar operates its familiar green coin-counting machines at 15,400 locations around the world, including supermarkets, drugstores, banks and Wal-Mart Stores. The company, which also owns 280,000 entertainment machines from kiddie rides to toy-grabbing crane games, expects total sales this year will top $800 million.
Some machines convert loose change into a receipt, which customers can cash in at store registers. Other kiosks sell prepaid debit cards, phone cards and gift cards for cash.
According to court documents, the company contracts with an armored-car company to pick up the money from the machines every few months.
Coinstar officials contacted Lynnwood police after discovering a loss of $17,458 at the Lynnwood Albertsons kiosk and identifying Burns from store videos, according to court documents. Company officials declined to say what kind of kiosks were targeted.
Burns, who was not authorized to access the machines outside of the Kent manufacturing center, was seen replacing full cash drawers with empty ones, according to court documents.
"To anyone looking on, it would look like he was supposed to be servicing the machine," said Lynnwood police Detective Doug Teachworth.
Court documents also allege that about $163,000 was stolen in a similar fashion from 14 machines at supermarkets in Everett, Bothell, Seattle, Monroe, Kent, Burien, Renton and Mountlake Terrace.
Coinstar additionally learned of $53,000 in thefts from machines in Oregon and $225,000 in thefts from machines in California over the April 26 weekend. Coinstar investigators determined that Burns had purchased plane tickets to California for that weekend, court documents allege.
Burns was arrested at work on Friday, and police served search warrants on his home. Police seized a 2007 GMC Denali, high-priced electronics, a 2008 Harley-Davidson motorcycle and about $130,000 in cash, according to court documents.
Police said about $150,000 remains missing.
Coinstar spokeswoman Marci Maule would not disclose Burns' job title or length of employment.
He is being held in the Snohomish County Jail on $250,000 bail.

- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Blind signal separation is currently an active research topic, and many techniques for accomplishing it have been discussed in the literature. In his excellent survey article [4], Cardoso describes blind signal separation (BSS) as the recovery of "unobserved signals of 'sources' from several observed mixtures". This paper describes a particular implementation, a recently constructed two-channel processor capable of operating on convolutive mixtures of QAM signals running at symbol rates as fast as 40 MHz. This processor has been applied to several practical problems, including the cancellation of cross-pole interference from a digital radio signal of interest and the diversity combination of signals received from two apertures or antenna feeds.

For multiple children text within the book is changed from 'me' to 'us,' 'my' to 'our' etc. so that the book reads correctly.

Mon 28 Dec 2015 Speedy delivery and nice product Sat 26 Dec 2015 Excellent book and good quality just what I was looking for. Granparents loved it. Sat 26 Dec 2015 The product is lovely and it came so quickly and was well presented. For £17 the book was a little flimsy but the coloured paper and space for the children to colour detracts from it. Wed 23 Dec 2015 No comment supplied. Sat 19 Dec 2015 Love it Wed 16 Dec 2015 Grandma liked it very much Sat 12 Dec 2015 Unfortunately it wasn't quite what expected for the money. It was smaller than I thought, paper back and only really text as the pictures are all drawn by the child - which although lovely it's going to be hard to get my 2 year old to draw everything. A lovely idea, but perhaps from older grandchildren. Lou Brown Designs's response: Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear that you are not totally happy with your purchase.

Wed 21 Oct 2015 Although the concept is excellent it was severely let down by execution. The first book was incorrectly addressed to Nanny rather than Grandma and although the replacement was sent rapidly that had even more errors so I had to cancel the order in the end.

Fri 31 Oct 2014 A brilliant idea, something different. Thu 30 Oct 2014 Lovely idea except there is a totally nonsensical typo on one of the pages...not just a spelling mistake but a whole word that makes no sense at all and I checked my messages several times before placing the order so I have no idea where it came from.

Brilliant seller who wnt our of their way to get tho item to us. Would recommend to all. Fri 20 Dec 2013 Great idea we lived it. Would have liked more flexibility in the stock pictures eg the book is from two children but there is just a boy on the front cover, the picture of the Grandma/Nana is universal it would at been good to have say 3 or 4 to choose from (la design your own feature. Not all, in fact most Grandmas and Nanas that we know, do not dress that conservatively or have an ok fashioned hairstyle like in the stock pictures... Thu 19 Dec 2013 The book was just what I thought it would be. It has a lovely story about why your grandma is wonderful.. I haven't give the gift yet but I'm sure gran will be chuffed. Fast delivery and quality service. There was a problem with one of the ages of the grandchildren and was incorrect. Contacted the seller and within 24 hrs I had a reply, apology and another book being sent out. Can't fault the service and was delighted with the Customer service. Will defo be buying from here again! Wed 18 Dec 2013 Fantastic christmas present. Cant wait for the kids to give this to the grandma with everything. :-) Wed 18 Dec 2013 Lovely product but the copy I supplied doesn't really fit in with the wording around it. Partly my fault I guess but would also hope it would be proof read. Maybe I just misread it, so double and triple check! Tue 17 Dec 2013 This is a lovely little gift, the seller was very accommodating with help in customising it, and it's sure to be a hit for Christmas this year. Tue 17 Dec 2013 Great little book. Quite pricey but lovely and personal Tue 17 Dec 2013 Just lovely. Tue 17 Dec 2013 No comment supplied. Sat 14 Dec 2013 This is adorable and Granny will love it, she doesn't get to see my daughter enough as we live far away, so this will make her happy when she can't see her. Sat 14 Dec 2013 Love this as a very touching gift for a relative. The product itself is excellent and I'd give it 5 stars except I felt it was a little on the steep side, but it is good quality print on good quality paper stock so it's worth it, in my opinion. Lovely present. Thu 12 Dec 2013 Beautiful book, a real keeper. Brought tears to Grandma's eyes! GREAT seller, would wholeheartedly recommend Wed 11 Dec 2013 I liked the book but I think it could have been made more clear that the 'favourite pastime' entered by the user would be followed by space for a picture of the pastime. This may affect the chosen pastime by the user (e.g. to match a specific photo) Tue 10 Dec 2013 Absolutely gorgeous book. I know it will make my mum's Christmas. Can't wait to see her face. Also excellent service. Tue 10 Dec 2013 Very sweet peesonalised book which any grandparent would love. Mon 09 Dec 2013 Lovely idea :) Sun 08 Dec 2013 Such a fantastic and unique present - loved it!!

Thank you :-) Fri 08 Nov 2013 Fab Thu 31 Oct 2013 Lovely book. Only thing I would say is that it would be helpful if you could read the blurb of the general story on the left hand side, so you can see clearly where your personalised wording will go and how the text reads as a whole. But a lovely present. Thu 31 Oct 2013 Lovely book. It isn't big but it is beautiful and excellent quality. Looking forward to letting the children do their bit inside. Thanks.

Mon 23 Sep 2013 Brilliant gift for Nannies birthday, lovely quality, thanks Thu 19 Sep 2013 Beautifully produced book Thu 12 Sep 2013 The perfect present for a doting nanna. Wed 04 Sep 2013 Absolutely perfect - my mum was delighted with it (birthday present from my six-year old son). The great thing about this is that so much of it can be personalised, and there are nice little touches such as space for your child to draw pictures in it as well. A wonderful keepsake. Wed 04 Sep 2013 Grandma loved it! Perfect present to easily engage the younger grandchildren and pull at grandparents heart strings. It just would have been good if we could have seen the set text as we ended up doubling up on the set text content and the personalised content. Mon 02 Sep 2013 Expensive for a small book.

The Internet of ThingsThe Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that describes how the Internet will expand as physical items such as consumer devices and physical assets are connected to the Internet. Key elements of the IoT which are being embedded in a variety of mobile devices include embedded sensors, image recognition technologies and NFC payment. As a result, mobile no longer refers only to use of cellular handsets or tablets. Cellular technology is being embedded in many new types of devices including pharmaceutical containers and automobiles. Smartphones and other intelligent devices don't just use the cellular network, they communicate via NFC, Bluetooth, LE and Wi-Fi to a wide range of devices and peripherals, such as wristwatch displays, healthcare sensors, smart posters, and home entertainment systems. The IoT will enable a wide range of new applications and services while raising many new challenges.

Class warfare
The incomes of the poorest fifth and the middle fifth of Minnesota families have grown about half as much as the wealthiest fifth since the early 1980s, according to a recent study by the Minnesota Budget Project, a branch of the Minnesota Council on Nonprofits. The average incomes of the poorest fifth grew 47%, or $7,171, since the early 1980s, after adjustments for inflation. For the middle fifth, the rise was 49%, or an inflation-adjusted $18,847. Compare that to the 85% bump enjoyed by the richest fifth, amounting to an inflation-factored $60,449.
One reason for this disparity is the recent emphasis on business profits over labor wages in apportioning corporate income. According to the MBP study, an average of 21% of corporate income growth went to corporate profits, versus 79% to compensate workers, over the past eight business cycles. But in the current business cycle, 85% of the income growth has gone to corporate profits and just 15% to workers.
We frequently hear that unionized workers and Northwest Airlines and Ford must take a hit when a corporation is beseiged in red ink. The MBP study, which uses the latest census data to draw its conclusions, demonstrates that when times are flush for corporations, Minnesota workers are not adequately sharing the rewards.
Wage inequality increased during the 1980s, with low-wage workers actually earning less at the end of the decade than they did at the beginning, once inflation was factored in, according to the MBP study. During the 1990s, wages rose across across the economic spectrum, but thus far in the 2000s, the inequality has returned.
Wages alone do not tell the entire story. In 2003, only 15% of the nation's private sector workers earning less than $15 an hour had access to employer-provided retirement benefits such as traditional pension plans and 401K programs, and just 51 percent had access to health care benefits. By contrast, 76% of the workers making over $15 an hour had access to retirement benefits and 74% had access to health care.
Here is the link to the MBP study.
And here's my editorial coda: When these sorts of disparities are revealed, some wealthy doofus invariably shouts "class warfare." This kind of braying goes beyond irony, and become Orwellian moments with a particularly nasty twist.

Insect Factory's Far-Flying Freebie
In an interview with City Paper last year, Silver Spring's Jeff Barsky described his composing technique this way: "I usually have a point A that I start from, and a point B where I'd like to end up. I know that somewhere in between, I'm going to stop for some coffee. And then I'll stop to have lunch. If I've hit those two stops en route, I've satisfied the compositional needs of the piece."
He was being unnecessarily humble, so forget the earthly metaphor and focus on the gist: He's all about travel–and he's proving to be a memorable pilot. "Broadcast Rain," the 34-minute "A side" of his free digital release under the moniker Insect Factory on D.C. label Zeromoon, is a blissful-but-intense trip of gradually building and carefully dissolving sounds. Some are identifiable as guitars and drums, but most aren't. There's a definite pulse and a tangible sense of time, but no official rhythm. Barsky never becomes too enamored with any cluster of wavelengths, but all of them stick around long enough to become familiar. It's transportive and ultimately reassuring—a reminder that noises can go on and on, remembered by the cosmos. (The B-side, "Rain Dream," is less lush and slightly sinister, as if some of the A-side scattered into darker territory and decided to stick it out in the name of art.)

How do I get all the photo's albums etc which appear on my iPhoto library to appear on my wifes iPhoto library on her user account on our Mac?
Some do show on her iPhoto library, but many do not. Ideally I would like all the contents on my library to appear on hers and each time I load new photos on to my iPhoto they automatically get added to her library.
Is this possible ?
does this help? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198

Supreme Court Leaning Toward Hobby Lobby in Contraception Case
Based on reports from today's arguments.
This morning, the Supreme Court heard the big case of its term in the form of Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby, the fight over Obamacare's contraception mandate. The crafts store, while private and for-profit, is owned by Evangelical Christians who believe birth-control methods like the morning-after pill are the same as abortion and do not wish to cover that option for employees. (The case is combined with a similar suit from Conestoga Wood Specialties, a Mennonite business, which also sued under the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act.) Based on 90 minutes of argument, the experts believe the court — that is to say, Justice Anthony Kennedy — is at least moderately Team Hobby Lobby.
The court "expressed skepticism of the legality of the Obama administration's refusal to accommodate for-profit companies' religious objections," Politico reported. It "signaled on Tuesday it may allow corporations to mount religious objections to government action," said Reuters. "A divided Supreme Court seemed inclined to agree Tuesday that the religious beliefs of business owners may trump a requirement in President Obama's Affordable Care Act," according to the Washington Post. And even MSNBC admitted that Kennedy, typically the deciding vote, "seemed to agree with the conservative Justices."
The women on the court, not so much. "How does a corporation exercise religion?" asked Justice Sotomayor. "How do we determine when a corporation has that belief? Who says it? The majority of shareholders? The corporate officers? The — is it 51 percent? What happens to the minority? And how much of the business has to be dedicated to religion? 5 percent? 10 percent? 90 percent?"
Justice Kagan worried about the slippery slope: "So another employer comes in, and that employer says, 'I have a religious objection to sex discrimination laws'; and then another employer comes in, 'I have a religious objection to minimum wage laws'; and then another, family leave; and then another, child labor laws," she said. Paul Clement, the attorney for the companies, insisted that that "parade of horribles" would not happen, and that the courts could sort it out.
"Congress has made a judgment and Congress has given a statutory entitlement and that entitlement is to women and includes contraceptive coverage, and when an employer says, No, I don't want to give that, that woman is quite directly, quite tangibly harmed," Kagan asserted.
Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. attempted to argue the rights of the employee, who could be denied contraceptive coverage, but birth-control expert Justice Antonin Scalia countered, "You're talking about, what, three or four birth controls, not all of them, just those that are abortifacient. That's not terribly expensive stuff, is it?"
(Wrong, said Verrilli, who cited IUDs, "far and away the method of contraception that is most effective, but has the highest upfront cost and creates precisely the kind of cost barrier that the preventive services provision is trying to break down.")
But Kennedy, likely the key here, challenged Verrilli: "Under your view, a for-profit corporation … could be forced in principle to pay for abortions?" he asked. "Your reasoning would permit that." A decision is likely to come down by June.
