George Clinton revolutionized R&B, twisting soul music into funk by fusing together influences as diverse as Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, Phil Spector and Sly Stone. His Parliament-Funkadelic machine ruled black music during the seventies, capturing more than forty R&B hit singles (including three at #1) and recording three platinum albums. As a forefather of funk and godfather of hip-hop, samples of P-Funk can be heard on albums by Outkast, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot, De La Soul, Fishbone and many others. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Following this program, Clinton will sign copies of his newest memoir, BROTHAS BE, YO LIKE GEORGE, AINT' THAT FUNKIN' KINDA HARD ON YOU?

@PUSoftball Splits at Dartmouth
Following up its split at Harvard Friday, the Princeton softball team did the same Saturday at Dartmouth, dropping the first game 4-1 before winning the nightcap 9-7.
Princeton (20-11, 5-3 Ivy) will head into next weekend's four-game Ivy South opening weekend at Penn two games behind the Quakers, who are 7-1 in the league. Columbia and Cornell are each 4-4, just one game back of Princeton, and Dartmouth and Harvard co-lead the Ivy North at 4-4 with Yale at 3-5 and Brown at 1-7.
In the first game, Princeton fell behind Dartmouth 1-0 on a home run by the Big Green's Kathy Dzienkowski in the second inning but tied it when Nikki Chu drove home Maddie Cousens in the fifth. The tie stood until the Dartmouth half of the sixth, when the Big Green put together three hits and took advantage of two Princeton errors to score three runs and hold on to win the game 4-1.
Alex Peyton (6-4) struck out nine in the complete-game effort but took the loss, giving up seven hits and a walk but earning only one of Dartmouth's (14-16, 4-4) four runs. Cousens led Princeton with two of the team's seven hits in the opener.
In game two, Princeton trailed only early after three first-inning hits gave the Big Green a 2-0 lead. Princeton scored four times on four walks and three hits in the top of the second, with Rachel Rendina, Alyssa Schmidt and Alex Peyton each getting RBI hits as Princeton pulled ahead 4-2.
The Tigers led by as much as 9-3, thanks to five runs scored between the fifth and sixth innings on a two-run Chu home run in the fifth and on three hits and two walks in the sixth. Dartmouth chipped away, but after a two-run home run by Katie McEachern in the bottom of the seventh, 9-7 was as close as the Big Green got.
Rendina led Princeton at the plate in the second game by going 3 for 5, while Shanna Christian (6-3) struck out hits and overcame giving up 11 hits and a walk to get the win.
Before the Tigers head to Penn for next weekend's four-game series, Princeton will head to Rutgers for a single game at 3:30 p.m. Thursday.

ZF-6755: Zend_Tool_Project_Provider_Controller refuses to create a controller in a module if a controller with the same name exists in default module
I just discovered Zend_Tool and I'm testing it right now.
I'm using modules in an existing project, so I tested this aspect too, and I hit a bug. Here's what I'm doing:
$ zf create project zf-site $ cd zf-site $ zf create module admin
Then, if i do:
$ zf create controller MyCtrlr 1 admin
It works, and successfully creates a MyCtrlr controller in the admin module, with an initial IndexAction method
But if i try:
$ zf create controller index 1 admin
It fails with the error "This project already has a controller named index"
The only index controller that exists is in the default module, so the creation of an index controller in the admin module should be accepted.
I'm new to the code of Zend_Tool, so I don't know what is done on purpose or is temporary, but I guess the error comes from line 141 (as of ZF 1.8.1) in Zend/Tool/Project/Provider/Controller.php :
141 if (self::hasResource($this->_loadedProfile, $name)) {
If I'm not mistaken, a 3rd parameter in hasResource() is accepted, giving the $module, so maybe the line should be:
141 if (self::hasResource($this->_loadedProfile, $name, $module)) {
I just tried with this change, and it seems to work
I too was unable to get zf (zend_tool) to create an IndexController because one by the same name existed in application/controllers.
I made the same edit to line 141 in Controllers.php file adding $module as an argument to be passed to hasResource method and was then able to create the file.
Similarly, when trying to create an action in the controller
zf create action index index 1 module
This would give an error because an indexAction already existed in the default IndexController
edited line#129 in Zend/Tool/Project/Provider/Action.php
From: if (self::hasResource($this->_loadedProfile, $name, $controllerName)) To: if (self::hasResource($this->_loadedProfile, $name, $controllerName, $module))
Seems to work okay after that.

I know its terrible. Share your better essays.
The decline of Spanish empire in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is an important case study for the decline of world powers. The Spanish empire was initially grown via world trade and the exportation of it wealth from the Americas. Spain would face serious economic problems, such as a bankrupt state, which lead to dreadful taxation (doc 2), also the lack of new imported wealth (doc 1). There was also a certain philosophy of extravagance that further pushed Spain into economic turmoil (doc 6). Finally the rise of England as an economic sea power, (doc 12) and rebellions on basic goods, (doc 13) finally made Spain's investments in the Americas crumpled, and with it, its empire.
In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, Spain had gained vast amounts of wealth due to overseas slave trading (doc 9) and, gold and silver. However, the Spanish spent most of this extra income on King Phillip spent on wars. As a result of these wars Spain was in terrible debt, a debt which interest was continually rising (doc 3). To pay off this debt the King had to raise taxes, these taxes were so heavy that it drove many of the Spanish into poverty and even out of the nation, further damaging Spain's economy. The actions of the Spanish themselves, though, are what finally turned over the economy.
The Spanish middle classes as of the 1600s, which survived the heavy taxation, spent their money frivolously to copy the tastes of the wealthy aristocracy (doc. 4). As a result, Spain became an import country, which exported its raw gold and silver deposits that it received from the Americas (doc 1). The wealthy even encouraged this behavior, as they though it would give Spain more prestige. Countries such as France, England, the Netherlands and Italy greatly gained from this export of capital (doc. 6). This grandiose spending of Spain would in time increase England's economy and lead it to become the leading world ocean power, rivaling Spain.
The rise in England would eventually lead to the demise in Spain. By the mid 1600s Spanish merchants began to disobey there own countries taxation and shipped directly to English and Dutch ports (doc 5). By the 1700s the English were fishing, making colonies, and trading in the Americas free of Spanish intervention (doc 12). With this new found English power, which was its naval supremacy, which rivaled the combined forces of France and Spain (doc. 7)? England then made a sweeping victory in the 7 years war. England claimed several Spanish colonies in the Americas, India, and Africa, and most importantly Gibraltar, crippling Spain's Mediterranean trade as well as a morale in directly conquering the Spanish mainland (doc. 8). By the 1760s England had almost a complete monopoly on trade in the American colonies, and was the world's naval power (doc 11). By the 1760s, though, Spain's economy had crashed and people began revolting for better prices on wheat, oil, and beans (doc 13). After the Napoleonic age in the 1820s, Spain lost its last colonies in the Americas and was no longer an Empire.
The fall of Spain is a classic tale of boom and bust for an Empire. Spain used its new found power for extravagance and wars, bankrupting the nation and putting crushing taxes on the people. Meanwhile the spending of Spain helped give rise to England, which eventually stripped its main economic supply, made the empire crumble. Spain's folly is important to remember as many nations follow the same economic pitfalls. Some may even point out that the Spain-England decline and fall relationship mirrors the United States and China. Like England to Spain, China takes America's capital, while America actually makes few things itself. Also American puts itself into bankruptcy with its own extravagance and military expenditure. The fall of Spain in such a manner should be an example to America.

State Senator Greg Brophy will be in Las Animas tonight and La Junta Tuesday morning as part of his campaign for governor tour.
He will be at Las Animas Senior Center at 6 p.m. Monday.
Brophy will be at Copper Kitchen at 7 a.m. Tuesday.
Brophy said of the tour, "I have represented many of the counties in the state Legislature. As much as I have enjoyed touring the rest of the state, I'm looking forward to being 'home' on this trip."
"As I have traveled the state, I am hearing the same issues come up. Coloradans are tired of losing freedoms and they're tired of a government that doesn't understand any of their issues like water, agriculture and energy production."
At the end of this tour, Brophy will have visited 53 of Colorado's 64 Counties.
Greg Brophy is a husband, father and farmer from the town of Wray, in Northeast Colorado. In 2002, he was elected to serve as a state representative. Senator Brophy has served in both the State House and State Senate, and has built a long record of standing for individual liberties, and standing against the overreach of government.

Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
BioDelivery Sciences received a $2.5 million prelaunch milestone payment from Meda, triggered by the first national regulatory clearance and pricing approval for Breakyl/Onsolis (fentanyl buccal soluble film) in the EU. Breakyl is indicated for the management of breakthrough pain in opioid-tolerant adult cancer patients. BioDelivery will receive another, final $2.5 million EU-related milestone when the drug is launched commercially in Europe by Meda, which the firm anticipates before the end of 2012.
BioDelivery specializes in the development of products for pain management and oncology supportive care. The firm is leveraging its BEMA and Bioral drug delivery technologies to develop an in-house and partnered pipeline of new drug formulations based on already approved compounds. The firm's pain pipeline comprises two products, Onsolis and BEMA Buprenorphine, both of which are based on its BEMA (BioErodible MucoAdhesive) technology for the transmucosal delivery of drugs with otherwise poor oral absorption.
Onsolis is approved in the U.S., Canada, and EU (trade named Breakyl), and has been licensed to Meda worldwide, except for Taiwan (licensed to TTY Biopahrm) and South Korea (licensed to Kunwha Pharmaceutical). BEMA Buprenorphine is in Phase III-stage development for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic pain, and is licensed to Endo Pharmaceuticals worldwide.

100% recommendationby Chase - verified purchaser
I purchased these boots back in November and since then I have worn them every weekend aside from two and they are amazing. My analysis is below. My info: - Boot Size 15 - Riding type: Trail | All season - Machine: 2001 KTM 300 MXC Pros: - Ready to go out of the box, no break in necessary - Straps and buckles are seriously solid - Very nice design - Very comfortable - Perfect Fit - Leather ~ Tough ~ Flexible - Tread ~ grips pegs well in all scenarios ~ holds onto kick starter without falter ~ good traction on the ground Semi-Con: - Gaiter only comes halfway up calf ~ Not that my foot has gotten wet, but the upper arch has been slightly damp a few times; This could pose a problem in the warmer seasons when the ice/snow is completely melted and water is flowing properly but I won't know till then and will certainly report back then. Overall, these boots are perfect! Even with the minor issue pertaining to the gaiter, these boots are outstanding in every way and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.


text: Looks like I missed the $150 IMBEL kits. Not too many available for less than about $220-250 range. DCI/NoDakSpud receivers on a long waiting list, with other makers not recommended or much more expensive. $300 + for the receiver. Special tools, and 7 US made parts, this project is starting to look too expensive for me to bother with. $600-750 range.

Her mind was focusing on the jump, just as she had done thousands and thousands of times before. Except this was different. As one of the team's veterans, this was a place she didn't know if she would ever see jumping in the Olympic test event, around 14 months before her sport's date with destiny.
"It took a long time to get here," she thought.
Yes, Lindsey, it did. But now you are there!
It will be another 13 months before Lindsey Van, Sarah Hendrickson, Jessica Jerome, Abby Hughes, Alissa Johnson and others know who will represent the USA in the Olympic debut of women's ski jumping. But this past weekend the top ski jumpers in the world had their first look at the venue where their sport will mark history in February 2014.
Athletes will tell you they treat the big events just like any other. Don't believe it. Going to Sochi was emotional. For Lindsey Van and her teammates, jumping there was the next step in a passionate quest many of them have lived since they were little girls just having fun ski jumping.
As a community, Park City has watched these girls grow into adulthood taking a special pride in its hometown heroes.
It was endless hours in courtrooms trying to get into the Vancouver Olympics. And it was patiently waiting around live web feeds waiting for that announcement that finally came on April 6, 2010.
Now it was time to check out Russia, flying through a lightning storm on approach to a place they had never seen. It was a weekend enduring 40+ degree temperatures and rain as crews worked feverishly to prepare the jump.
For the athletes, it was a mental roller coaster. It wasn't just another World Cup. It was a new venue, in a new country with a new culture. Amidst it all, the American women shined. Still nursing a sore knee, Sarah Hendrickson nailed a World Cup win. Jessica Jerome put down some brilliant jumps. Abby Hughes broke through with a career best. And Lindsey Van came from behind Sunday with a stellar second jump to move up 15 spots and regain some of the confidence that had taken her career to so many highs.
As the athletes talked about their weekend, there were two distinct storylines: confidence and gratitude. It was a confidence builder to see Sarah on top of the podium in the first Olympic test and to have three Americans in the top ten the next day. As athletes, they left Sochi knowing they could compete.
But more than anything was the gratitude they felt for all of those who had stood behind them for so many years and fought for them to have the opportunity to go to Sochi.
As Lindsey Van said, it took a long time to get there. But with its legions of supporters, women's ski jumping is now firmly on the road to Sochi.
One of the most experienced communications professionals in skiing, Tom Kelly is a veteran of eight Olympics and serves as vice president, Communications, for the Park City-based U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association. A Wisconsin native, he and his wife Carole Duh have lived in Park City since 1988 when he's not traveling the world with the team.

Winner update: 12/12/12: This giveaway is now closed. Thanks so much to everyone that entered! And the lucky random winner is… Commenter #334 NICOLE J! Congrats!
Every so often, I find things that I love love love, and have to share. It's Jen, your favorite photographer here at Hostess With The Mostess, and I'm excited to tell you about this awesome Kelly Moore Bag that I'm obsessed with. But even more exciting, we're giving one lucky winner a bag of their choice! Read on for details!
I'd like to introduce you to my most favorite Kelly Moore Bag. Why is this my perfect purse? Where do I start? I'll tell you the number one reason why: dividers. Aside from the fact that this bag is super sturdy and well made, it comes with about eight dividers for you to organize! Who doesn't love to be organized? This means that you can easily put everything from your DSLR camera and your iPad, to your wallet and baby's diapers, and none of them will touch each other. That is pretty cool.
The other reason I adore this bag is because it's stylish. I happen to use it because I'm a photographer, and it is made to protect my equipment. Unfortunately, not all bags are made with looking good in mind, but all of these bags are super cute!
Finally, Kelly Moore Bags rock because they have a ton of different styles that serve different purposes, and you get to choose which one works best for your needs. They have this fancy tool on their Facebook page, that lets you tell them what you want to use your bag for, and they'll tell you which style works best for you!
Now here's the fun part! Since we're so obsessed with these bags and know they will help you stay organized and on trend, we're giving away a Kelly Moore Bag of your choice to one fabulous reader!
• Post a comment below, mentioning which bag you like best!
• Visit the Kelly Moore Bag Facebook Page, and like them.
• Giveaway ends Tuesday, December 11th at midnight PST. The winner will be chosen randomly and announced here after they've accepted the prize. Good luck, everyone!

Art's not easy. Many artists spend hundreds of hours on one project just to toss it and start over or sometimes, very little recognition for their craft. Luckily, the Salt Lake City mayor's office has an ongoing effort to recognize local artists.
"We're thrilled to honor this year's recipients of the Mayor's Artists Awards. In their own unique ways they have contributed, enriched and supported the artistic endeavors of others that make our community so rich," says Lisa Sewell, executive director of the Utah Arts Festical.
Since 1992, the mayor's office has recognized individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the artistic landscape of the community. These five prestigious awards include visual arts, performing arts, literary arts, service to the arts by an individual and service to the arts by an organization.
This year's recipients have been chosen (see below), and the awards ceremony is scheduled for 8:15 p.m.on June 21 at the Utah Arts Festival.
Bryan Young, recipient of the Literarty Arts Award said, "Writing can be a lonely business, whether it's prose or journalism. To be reminded that the words you write are read by actual people and then to be recognized for the content of those words is both encouraging and humbling."
Show your support this year by attending the awards ceremony at the Utah Arts Festival. The festival is scheduled to run from noon to 11 p.m., June 20–23 at Library Square. Click here for more details.
Visual Arts—Karen Horne
Performing Arts—Mary Ann Lee
Literary Arts—Bryan Young

For graduate students, please use the Graduate Petition for Course/Semester Withdrawal Form (PDF) from the Graduate Admissions & Program Evaluations (GAPE) to drop.
Spring 2016 Petition for Course Drop
Instructions for Undergraduate Students
Use the Petition for Withdrawal if you are dropping all courses in the semester)
NOTE: Although this petition displays the current semester's date, it should also be used for course drops from previous semesters. Your petition will not be processed if you are not using the current form. Please visit sjsu.edu/aars/forms to be certain that you are using the most recent version of this petition.
Course Drops may be approved under several categories. These are based on (1) the date when this petition is submitted, and (2) the reason(s) for the request. Petitions may be submitted in person (to Academic Advising and Retention Services, Student Services Center) or by fax (408-924-2526).

WB = Serious and compelling reasons that are clearly beyond your control in accordance with University Policy S09-7.
Beginning Fall 2009, there will be two types of approved withdrawals, designated WA and WB on the unofficial transcript. All students are limited to 18 units of WA (APPROVED withdrawals) on their SJSU transcripts. There is no such unit limit on the WB (Approve withdrawals BEYOND the student's control). Both WA and WB will show as W on the official transcript.
Generally, all acceptable extenuating circumstances fall into one of the following eight categories:
- Administrative error
- Employment
- Military (orders from CO)
- Natural disaster
- Death of immediate family member
- Personal health or serious family illness
- Divorce
- Personal/other (rarely approved)
In all cases, (1) a personal statement and (2) supporting evidence/documentation (on letterhead) will be required. Other requirements: (3) signatures and advisory recommendations as specified on the petition form (page 2), and (4) page 1 of current Degree Progress Report.

DxS and Epigenomics signed a technology cross-licensing agreement, which means both companies can now develop and commercialize DNA methylation-based in vitro diagnostics (IVD) utilizing DxS' real-time PCR technology, Scorpions®. The companies will also be able to sublicense the products licensed from the other party.The new deal results from a license and option agreement signed in January 2008. The original arrangement gave Epigenomics nonexclusive rights to use the Scorpions technology for R&D of research kits and an option to expand the license to the IVD field. It also gave DxS an option for a worldwide nonexclusive research and IVD license to specific Epigenomics IP covering the use of Scorpions technology for DNA methylation applications. Licensing the Scorpions technology for IVD use complements the Epigenomics' technology portfolio for DNA methylation analysis, notes Geert Nygaard, CEO. "This expands our freedom to operate and gives us maximum flexibility in the final product design and testing platforms for cancer molecular diagnostic products directly commercialized by ourselves as well as by our partners."

Farmhouse White bread dough ready for the oven after rising nicely (recipe here)
These pans are available in two sizes, 1-pound (approximately 8½"x4½"x2¾") and 1½-pound (approximately 10"x5"x3") and come with a lifetime warranty. I fill the 1-pound size with up to 35 ounces of white or white/whole wheat bread dough to make my signature big loaves. Looking for a loaf pan that is exactly 9"x5"? A few months ago I ordered this heavy gauge USA Pan, and it's really nice.
USA Pans also makes nice commercial grade baking sheets, but they can't be heated over 400 degrees.
Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Spice Cake with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting (recipe here)
Making the graham crackers in Gifts Cooks Love: Recipes for Giving (a great book!)
Ours is this style, 24 inches long, and full to capacity, so
Good knives are a cook's best friend, but even the most expensive knife becomes a dangerous and annoying enemy if it's dull. We bought this professional diamond hone sharpener 9 years ago and love it. Just a couple of minutes per blade keeps your knives as sharp as new. Joe even sharpens his pocket knives with it.
This one is pre-seasoned for immediate use, has two pouring lips and a second 'helper handle' for heavy lifting, and is made at Lodge's zero hazardous waste stream foundry in Tennessee. Cooking for a crowd? This hefty 12-inch skillet ($18.97) should do the trick.
A few years ago I started baking all of my loaf pan breads on the baking stone and love the results. I also now bake pies (in the pan) on it, too. The bottom crust comes out perfect! Always put your stone in the oven before you turn on the heat; putting a cold stone in a hot oven can cause it to crack.

First time around, miss Maiya Norton blew us away with her selection on our first exclusive release from the Sonic Boom series. While many better known names peppered the the first compilation, on Sonic Boom Vol. 2, Maiya shows us that her musical fluency goes deep and digs up some hidden gems.
Of the artists that folks may be familiar with, Suzi Analogue offers a melodic, lulling instrumental aptly named "TheEndOfTheNite" and our homies The Stuyvesants share another vintage soul epic called "Machine Love." Other standouts for us are Bay Area electro-soul troupe The Seshen, rapper Eccentric, and Milwaukee producer Haz Solo.
Really, the whole thing plays out beautifully, never quite staying the same in style or tempo yet tying together into a tasteful journey of modern soul, electronic, hip-hop, and dance music.

Broken Ballots -- Will Your Vote Count?
by Douglas W. Jones and Barbara Simons
published by the Center for the Study of Language and Information
distributed by University of Chicago Press Books
A talk by Douglas Jones
Monday, May 7, 2012 from 5:00 - 5:40 p.m.
32-141, Stata Center, MIT, 32 Vassar St, Cambridge, MA
For many of us, the presidential election of 2000 was a wake-up call. The controversy
following the vote count led to demands for election reform. But the new voting systems
that were subsequently introduced to the market have serious security flaws, and many
are confusing and difficult to use. Moreover, legislation has not kept up with the constantly
evolving voting technology, leaving little to no legal recourse when votes are improperly
counted. How did we come to acquire the complex technology we now depend on to count
votes? We probe how this came to be, along with public policy and regulatory issues raised
by modern voting technologies.
What others are saying about the book:
The cornerstone of our democracy is the right to vote and the right to have that vote counted
as it was intended. Broken Ballots first demonstrates clearly and compellingly the extent to
which that right is in jeopardy. Then it lays out a plan to preserve and protect that right. Kudos
to the authors and to all those fighting to safeguard our democracy. -- Kevin Shelley, Former
California Secretary of State.
This book is a must read, not only for election officials and other policy makers, but also for
public interest groups who seek to protect the vote and, indeed, for every citizen who wants his
or her vote to be counted. -- Fritz Schwarz, Chief Counsel, Brennan Center for Justice at the
New York University School of Law.
This book is essential reading for anyone who cares about elections. -- David Dill, Professor
of Computer Science at Stanford University.

Hillary for President in 2016?
April 8, 2013 - Andrea Johnson
So it's looking like Hillary Rodham Clinton may make another run for the Presidency in 2016.
No such announcement has been made but Hillary sure is looking and acting like a Presidential candidate. She issued a statement this spring expressing her support for gay marriage, which I don't think was in much doubt, but it will win her support from key Democratic groups. She's writing a book about her time as Secretary of State that is expected to come out next year and will help remind potential voters of her various accomplishments. I remember writing about the first attempt at a health care system overhaul back in the 1990s. Hillary, as First Lady, was one of its major architects. She is also a former Senator from New York. It's been 15 years or more since you could refer to her as just the former First Lady or wife of Bill Clinton.
Her various supporters seem to already be organizing the campaign behind the scenes. People on the Sunday news shows yesterday were all buzzing about a run they seem to think is nearly certain.
As a woman and as a feminist, I know I ought to be thrilled by the prospect of a woman in the White House. On paper, she is probably the most qualified woman of all the potential Presidential candidates in the Democratic party.
But, for whatever reason, there is something about Hillary Rodham Clinton that I have found difficult to warm to and I suspect that feeling is shared by a fair number of potential voters.
What do you think of Hillary Clinton's prospects for a Presidential run?

Bill...The chewing material is a hint why kids dress the way they do.
Apr-12-13 3:43 PM
Bill buddy, I'm pretty sure most people go through lives meeting various people they respect and look up to. Parents are at the top of the list of role models IMO.
Anti-mimesis is a philosophical position that holds the direct opposite of mimesis. Its most notable proponent is Oscar Wilde, who held in his 1889 essay The Decay of Lying that "Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life". In the essay, written as a Platonic dialogue, Wilde holds that such anti-mimesis "results not merely from Life's imitative instinct, but from the fact that the self-conscious aim of Life is to find expression, and that Art offers it certain beautiful forms through which it may realize that energy. Chew on that bill.

I don't have a problem with her choice of clothing or hairstyle, nor do I have a problem with Pres. Obama's choice of clothing or hairstyle. A person's record is what should make or break him/her.
Apr-12-13 8:27 AM
lefty...Teachers are role models and yes I hope they can influence the children.
Apr-11-13 1:59 PM
billgrr, was yours a substantive post, according to your own stringent standards? I dunno...
Apr-11-13 8:29 AM
The teachers that look like high priced beltway hookers always catch my eye. I thought teachers were supposed to be leaders, I guess there are allot of paths to be lead down and even up sometimes.
Apr-10-13 8:56 PM
Hillary leaves a lot to be desired in my standards of what a person in charge should dress and act like.
One real hard to swallow for me is the teachers and they way they dress now days. Minot is not too bad but in a recent visit to California I stopped in the school to see a relative. My Gosh those teachers looked like they just crawled out of bed.. and they are the role models for our kids. Guess that's why kids look like they do..they follow the lead of the teachers..

Sorry. :-) I get what leftwing was trying to say (family connection).
Apr-10-13 9:52 AM
Andrea, I like the way you think and tolerate open discussions. Keep on keepin on!!
Apr-09-13 4:18 PM
Jeb or Hilliary are a mockery of what is good and just. I liked ol Ross Pero(sp?)he was not a good ol beltway boy.
Apr-09-13 4:07 PM
Andrea my wife is in her mid 60s She doesn't wear her hair in a pony tail EVER Hillary goes off to meet foreign leaders with a pony tail.
Now everyone KNOWS the Clintons are not broke. Hillary could have the very best hairdresser and the very best clothing expert and look like something other then a two ton Tess in a tight pant suit..
She NEVER looked as bad as she has looked in the past 4 years.. And the pounds keep pouring on. ' At her age she is a candidate for a heart attack.. We don't need an accident waiting to happen in the White House..
Early Bird is right. Once was enough..
If you want to have and earn respect you start out by looking in the mirror and demanding respect from the person you see. How can you respect a almost 70 women running around with her hair in a pony tail.
True Hippie to the end isn't she?
Apr-09-13 12:28 PM
I'm saying she's a qualified candidate but one I have trouble liking.
It's up to the voters to decide whether they're tired of her and her husband and their associates or not.
Apr-09-13 11:59 AM
Maybe this will help. And all along I thought we were tired of the same old thing, now you say it's good. Can't have both, do we really want to go through that families problems again.
Apr-09-13 11:41 AM
Still not getting the gist of your argument. It's likely that Hillary Clinton is going to run; it's not certain whether she'll actually get the nomination, much less win the Presidency.

And all along I thought we were tired of the same old thing, now you say it's good. Can't have both, do we really want to go through that families problems again.
Apr-09-13 11:03 AM
Andrea, the substance in dandelions qualifies as milk but we as humans require the milk of mammals. Even the media cannot change a donkey into a dandelion.
Apr-09-13 11:01 AM
It's a double-edged sword with the Clintons. If you like them, you're happy to have a President and former President putting their heads together in the White House. If you hate them, it's your worst nightmare.
By any standard you look at, Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than the male presidential candidates who have run in recent years. She's a lawyer who helped craft health care legislation; she served as both a Senator and a Secretary of State and she certainly took an active role in the White House when Bill was President. She has the domestic and the foreign policy background. The argument is going to come down to personality, character, any mistakes she made in office, as in the attacks at Benghazi and the perceived initial cover-up, etc. I'm sure they'll dredge up Whitewater and Vince Foster and Bill Clinton's womanizing again too.
Apr-09-13 10:39 AM
Andrea, do you remember Bill & Hillary using that as part of the original campaign? "You elect me, you get Hillary too" was a drawing point.
Apr-09-13 10:38 AM
I'll agree with Andrea on the following: Looks don't matter if the person is qualified. By "qualified," I include character traits, experience, job performance under pressure, etc. Is Hillary qualified? To some people, perhaps. Is she "more qualified" because she's a woman, and we haven't had a woman president before? That is beside the point.
Apr-09-13 10:32 AM
I don't get the comparison. Sorry. What I'm saying is that she looks appropriately dressed and put together for a woman of her age and status. Her looks and undeniable qualifications aren't part of the reason I have had trouble warming to her. Some of that may just come down to personality.
Bill Clinton, on the other hand, has always reminded me a bit of Eddie Haskell from the old Leave it to Beaver TV series. He oozes charm but I don't know how sincere it is. If you elect Hillary, you get Bill as part of the package deal.
Apr-09-13 9:54 AM
Andrea, so you are saying milk is milk even if it comes from a dandelion.
Apr-09-13 9:28 AM
Looks don't matter overly to me provided the person is qualified. I especially don't think it's appropriate to demand more of a woman than a man in that regard. However, I would say she looks appropriate in every interview I've seen her do in recent years.
Apr-09-13 9:13 AM
I meant many people not most people or we would all starve.
Apr-09-13 9:11 AM
This country needs a true Lone Ranger to ride in with the sun to their back, somebody who truly wants whats best for America and all it's people. Somebody from outside the beltway who dares rein in crooked lawmakers and enforcers of crooked laws. Somebody who is not selfish and has only the welfare of the common people in mind. We are all born with those qualities but somehow most people either have to let go of them or just find being decent a nuisance.

Agent-directed Simulation (ADS) Symposium is the premier platform to explore all three aspects of the synergy of simulation and agent technologies. Hence, it has a special place within simulation and agent conferences, including agent-based (social) simulation conferences. Therefore the ADS symposium fills a gap in the agent community as well as the simulation community.
The purpose of the ADS symposium is to facilitate dissemination of the most recent advancements in the theory, methodology, application, and toolkits of agent-directed simulation. Agent-directed simulation is comprehensive in the integration of agent and simulation technologies, by including models that use agents to develop domain-specific simulations, i.e., agent simulation (this is often referred to as agent-based simulation -when other two important aspects are not considered), and by also including the use of agent technology to develop simulation techniques and toolkits that are subsequently applied, either with or without agents.
Hence, agent-directed simulation consists of three distinct, yet related areas that can be grouped under two categories as follows:
Through the theme of agent-directed simulation, the symposium will bring together agent technologies, tools, toolkits, platforms, languages, methodologies, and applications in a pragmatic manner. In this symposium, established researchers, educators, and students are encouraged to come together and discuss the benefits of agent technology in their use and application for simulation. It is a way for people to discuss why and how they have used agent technology in their simulations, and describe the benefit of having done so.
The theme of ADS'12 is based on the observation of the following premises:
ADS 2012 will provide a leading forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse simulation societies within computer science, social sciences, engineering, business, education, human factors, and systems engineering. The involvement of various agent-directed simulation groups will enable the cross-fertilization of ideas and development of new perspectives by fostering novel advanced solutions, as well as enabling technologies for agent-directed simulation.
Formatting guidelines and author instructions are available at http://www.scs.org/conferences. Papers should be submitted electronically to http://www.softconf.com/scs/ADS12. All papers will be subject to a peer-reviewing process by three program committee members. (Please see the key dates listed below)
All prospective authors, whose papers are accepted for inclusion in the program, will be invited to submit their position or technical papers to ADS'12. Accepted and registered papers will be published in the conference proceedings by the SCS. The committee will select a set of best papers. Authors of these papers will be encouraged to submit appropriately expanded versions of these papers for journal publication.

New IngredientsFor a lot of us, the idea of age-erasing foundation sounds like a fairy tale, and we mean "The Emperor's New Clothes." It's one thing for a little paint and spackle to cover blotches and blemishes, but when a foundation claims to tighten, brighten, and firm over-forty skin — well, we can only say we weren't born yesterday.Then again, neither were cosmetics company executives, who know a market need when they see one. Today's foundations really are better and smarter than those of just a few years ago — and now, that little jar of beige may be our fastest route to younger-looking skin.As we got older, a strange thing happened: We stopped wearing foundation, or started using tinted moisturizer or (for the laziest among us) self-tanner as a do-all base. We didn't want anything on our faces that would collect in our laugh lines or emphasize our imperfections.Cosmetic companies, predictably, wanted us back — badly enough to go back to the drawing board and reinvent foundation as a bona fide skin treatment. In 2006, the facelift in a bottle — a running gag in the beauty industry for years — has become a reality.Just read the labels: High-powered humectants, antioxidants, minerals, and botanicals get priority listing.Revlon's Age Defying Foundation with Botafirm ($14) claims its hexapeptide reduces wrinkles by 50 percent in two weeks. Both Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind ($8) and Lancome Renergie Lift Makeup ($36) contain caffeine for a tightening effect. DiorSkin Sculpt Foundation ($28) has the peptide Matrixyl to stimulate collagen production.There's no denying that today's foundations offer a more natural look. The shades have perfect pitch, and the cocktail of light reflectors, emollients, and humectants really does make dehydrated skin look dewier. Creating these products wasn't a walk in the park. "Makeup that wears well on mature skin is a challenge," says Anne Carullo, vice president of corporate product innovation for Estee Lauder. "The topography of the face is so different, with visible textural changes and things you don't see, like oils in the skin that can cause makeup to change color. Until now, it's been difficult to combine a high level of treatment with color and keep the formula from breaking down. But with new emulsifying systems, we're able to fuse materials that have not been stable together before."But do these high-tech foundations really work as skin treatments? Well, yes — to a degree. "Let's just say I'm not worried about my Botox business drying up," says Deborah S. Sarnoff, MD, associate clinical professor of dermatology at New York University School of Medicine. "While the inclusion of antioxidants, vitamins, and peptides can only help aging skin, no topical ingredient can give you the dramatic effect of injections that freeze a muscle or fill a wrinkle." Still, why not use a product that gives you coverage and treatment in one package? As Sarnoff says, "It's killing two birds with one stone." Here are some other new foundations we've tried and loved.The Best FoundationsFor Serious CoverageWhat do you do when you need to cover redness, brown spots, and occasional blemishes but want to keep it between you and your magnifying mirror? Cream foundations (stop wincing — we mean it!) mimic great skin while providing the kind of coverage that used to require layers of base, concealer, and powder.Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Intensive Lifting Makeup ($65) Contains whey proteins and humectants that temporarily add a plastic-wrap tautness and fill out wrinkle — -perfect for skin that's dry, delicate, or noticeably loose around the mouth and jawline. When we tried it, the color stayed true all day and evening, with no touch-ups necessary.La Mer The Treatment Creme Foundation SPF 15 ($85) Contains the same marine botanicals as the legendary face cream (including the anti-sag star-blue algae), and we loved the way it airbrushed large pores and discolorations around the nose and chin. It also refused to puddle in non-Botoxed grooves, even after two hours of grimacing and grinning at a business lunch.La Prairie Cellular Radiance Lifting Foundation ($225) Don't cringe at the price: A tiny dab of this oil-in-water souffle goes a long way, and the silicone formula blends to a second-skin finish, making light of sun spots and spider veins.
It's hard to keep track of every anti-aging foundation coming out. But I do agree that these type of foundations keep getting better and they might replace the infamous botoxing one day.

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Trovagene and the PIO XII Foundation, affiliated with Brazil's Barretos Cancer Hospital, entered a research collaboration to evaluate the performance of a urine-based molecular assay for detection of HPV types associated with cervical lesions. The goal of the study is to determine whether this assay can potentially replace Pap smears as the primary screen for cervical cancer risk in Brazil's healthcare system. Barretos Cancer Hospital will conduct the study using Trovagene's urine-based method for determining the presence of high risk HPV types, allowing for completely noninvasive HPV carrier screening.
In Brazil, cervical cancer is the second most frequent tumor type in women and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women 14 to 44 years of age. Brazil has placed special emphasis on programs to improve HPV screening.
"This study can pave the way to make HPV screening broadly available to medically underserved patients in our region," said Adhemar Longatto Filho, Ph.D., the Laboratory of Medical Investigation at the University of Sao Paulo and principal investigator for the study at Barretos Cancer Hospital.
"Improved logistics, reduced costs, and increased compliance can significantly increase HPV screening rates and save lives," said Antonius Schuh, Ph.D., CEO of Trovagene. "This collaboration with Barretos is another important step toward making Trovagene's noninvasive HPV carrier screen available in key healthcare markets globally."
The global Pap smear test market was valued at $28 million in 2011 and is expected to reach an estimated value of $31.4 million in 2018, according to a report published in 2012 by Transparency Market Research.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by mahalo425 My favorite artpiece This piece is so fun and whimsical - we just love it. The colors are bright and tasteful; they don't scream at you. The piece is a great compliment to any room. It has a bit of texture to it in the tree tops, and colors are vibrant. We love to imagine the story behind the trees - love the idea that they are lollipops. The only issue I had, which is so very minor, is that the image continues to wrap on the side edge, so there is a partial tree there - so, now I can't fake that it's not an original :). Love this piece - it's my favorite in my home. August 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by sherryt fun picture I ordered this picture for my grandkids' bedroom and play area and I loved it even more than I thought I would. It's colorful, but not too much so and the kids love it, too! March 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Thejeanster Pop of color What you see is really what you get! And I love the broad brushstrokes. You have to have your nose about a foot away from this painting to see that it is a print and not an original. Really lights up the corner and ties in so many other colors around the room and whatever flower arrangement I have on the coffee table. May 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by pamy29 colorful and fun i have this up in my dining room and i love it! the background is subtle with earth tones and then the trees give a pop of color that bring together my colorful kitchen and more earthy dining room. so cute! December 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Firecracker Fantastic Painting "Lollipop Trees" is a wonderful, unique painting. It is very whimsical, colorful and can practically pass for the original painting instead of a reproduction. I highly recommend this painting to update any room. You won't be disappointed.

Available NOW!
Nine years ago Kate Grayhawk Pendelton walked into Wyatt Shaw's life - and out of it the next morning. Now Wyatt's back - and has the power to shatter Kate's future with the man she loves.
By reputation, Wyatt Shaw is a brutal killer who always gets what he wants. And he wants Kate and her twin eight-year-old sons.
Texas Ranger Jack McKinley is hot on Wyatt Shaw's trail. The presumed heir to the D'Amato crime syndicate is threatening to steal the woman he loves.
Holly McKinley is fighting to keep Jack from leaving her for another woman. Now the secret she's kept for over twenty years may save their son's life, and cost her the only man she's ever loved.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Cover Thoughts: The cover, while very pretty, didn't really have anything to do with the book. However, I enjoyed looking at the beautiful colors and I believe that if I saw SHATTERED at the bookstore, that very beauty would have compelled me to pick it up and read the back cover blurb. So in the end, that's saying something.
Single Title/Series: SHATTERED is book eight in the Bitter Creek Series but can very easily be read as a stand alone novel.
Why I Read It: I was offered a review copy from the publisher.
My Review:
As a general rule, I'm very picky about what books I'll review for authors/publishers. With my blog I've not only done my best to make it clear both visually and materially, but with my "About Me" as well, that I read romance. Period. However, over the recent months I've been sent some startling review requests for genres I don't read. How someone can take one look at my blog and assume that I want to read a lawyer crime drama is beyond me. Well, unless that lawyer crime drama is about vampires and/or love triangles... Suffice it to say I was very excited to receive a review request for a book that fit my romance reading preferences. And SHATTERED is romance.
Moving on to the review. First off, I have to say that in order to enjoy SHATTERED, the reader has to view it as soap opera. As with all soap operas, they're ridiculous in the extreme but that ridiculousness is also offset by sheer entertainment. With that knowledge, SHATTERED, while sublimely entertaining, also verges a bit towards the ridiculous.
In addition, SHATTERED also goes above and beyond reality. Generally reality isn't what I care about in a novel. As a reader of paranormal romance I'm constantly required to suspend my version of reality in order to enjoy the novels I gravitate towards naturally. To my knowledge, no one reads romance novels in the hopes that it will mirror reality. In my opinion, I get enough of the real on a day-to-day basis to want to scream! I read romance to escape and if a particular book happens to break Nature's rules as we know it then so be it. But, and here's the exception for my own little reading rules, if the book is of contemporary and/or romantic suspense genre, then I expect it to resemble reality closer than I would with paranormal. That being said, I thought that SHATTERED required a suspension of reality to fully enjoy it and that's difficult for this particular genre and perhaps also why it's such a difficult genre to write successfully.
Now back to my soap opera analogy. Generally there are several different interconnecting stories that make up a soap opera and SHATTERED is no exception. I've isolated at least seven different interconnected stories taking place in real time. This means that there are several different Points of View and back stories that are very creatively delivered upon the reader. For this review, I'm only going to highlight a few of the above mentioned seven.
Story One: Wyatt Shaw vs. Kate Pendelton
Kate Pendelton, mother of twin eight-year-old boys and wife to her estranged husband of which the world believes died heroically in Afghanistan, feels that she's finally got her life back on track. With her deranged husband, J.D. Pendelton, hiding out in South America, Kate is ready to move on with her life with Jack McKinley, Texas Ranger. At nineteen, Kate fancied herself in love with Jack but when he turned his back on her to marry his high school sweetheart, Kate found herself running into J.D.'s arms and subsequently into a life of complete heartache. Now that Jack and his wife are on the brink of divorce, the two have found each other once again and have plans to marry. But unfortunately a night from Kate's past shows up on her doorstep in the form of Wyatt Shaw, son of notorious mob boss D'Amato, demanding that his eight-year-old sons and Kate are to leave with him to his compound in San Antonio.
Wyatt Shaw is a gorgeous enigma. He's loved Kate from the very first and after their single night of shared passion nine long years ago, Wyatt did his best to track down the mystery woman that broke open his soul within mere hours of meeting. Now he's found her and he has every intention of keeping her and his sons. With his mob boss father monitoring his every move, Wyatt knows that the old man is looking for new flesh to run his empire. With Wyatt on the outs, D'Amato now has two young boys that he can set his sights on but Wyatt will stop at nothing to protect the two boys he's only just met but has already fallen in love with. Now if he can only get Kate to fall in love with him.
Story Two: Jack McKinley vs. Holly McKinley
Jack McKinley was, at one time in his life, at the ultimate high but after some familial gambling debts recked his promising future, it's been a rough struggle ever since to merely find contentment. Now with his marriage imploding and only one amazing son to show for it, Jack's ready to start a new life with Kate Pendelton. The heartache of their disappointing relationships has brought forth a fierce bond between them and they're each striving for some semblance of happiness in each others arms. But it would seem that the forces of nature aren't down creating havoc when in swoops Wyatt Shaw. Before Jack has time to do anything about it, Kate, her two boys and his promising future are once again ripped from his hands.
Holly McKinley has every intention of winning back her husband. No sooner had she banished Jack McKinley from their home when she realized her error. As a young girl, her father walked out on her mother countless times to eventually never return. Never the trusting type, Holly realized that she'd been methodically pushing Jack away for years and finally, for no real good verbal reason, kicked Jack out. In her mind, she was eliminating the possibility of him leaving her for that's what he'd ultimately do, right? Admitting to herself that she'd been very wrong and with the hands of fate seemingly on her side, she devices a way to have Jack live with her until their divorce is final with plans of seducing her husband back into her bed and her life. But when tragedy strikes, both Holly and Jack will have to overcome huge obstacles or Holly's hope of Happily Ever After will be shattered forever.
Story Three: Kate Pendelton and Wyatt Shaw vs. J.D. Pendelton and D'Amato
Of course Romantic Suspense can't be suspenseful without a few bad guys. Kate's "dead" husband arrives back in the states to try his best to deflect his would be murderer, Mob Boss D'Amato. After faking his death and making off with millions of dollars worth of D'Amato's lucrative drug trade, J.D. needs something to bargain for his life with. In addition, he's out for a bit of revenge his own after discovering that Kate led him to believe that the twin sons she gave birth to were his.
D'Amato, disappointed that his one remaining son, Wyatt Shaw, will not take over his empire, is overjoyed at the fact that he has two previously unknown grandsons. Hatching a plan to subtlety influence the twin boys to his side, D'Amato will stop at nothing to make contact with his would be heirs even if it means he must destroy his last living son in the process.
SHATTERED, despite its girth, is a fast paced read with a topsey-turvey plot that for all its intensity, never leaves you in the dust. Its flamboyant entertainment makes for a good read that's surprisingly captivating. Unfortunately its characters are two-dimensional with either over the top revenge schemes, or they encounter a series of tragic roadblocks that has the reader calling foul.
Wyatt's and Kate's whirlwind relationship of fantastical romance is just a bit too far fetched while Jack's and Holly's romance could have been classified as more tangible if it wasn't for the absolute devastation that Johnston rages upon them.
All in all, SHATTERED is a read I would comfortably recommend but with the accompanying warning that the reader be prepared to suspend their reality with this soap opera-esque romance.

Reviews for Enchilada Stuffed Shells
"I enjoyed this a lot. I did not stuff shells, but used medium shells and made a bake out of this. Also I don't like refried beans so I just eliminated them. Was absolutely delicious, and I can't wait to eat it for leftovers this week. :)"
"I have been experimenting with many different types of stuffed shells and this one is by far the best I have tried! I make the recipe as is and add sour cream and mild taco sauce as a topping."
"I also do add sauce to the bottom and cover the shells on top."
"I make this all the time. I always make extras and eat them the next day. I love them, love them. I also buy progresso recipe starters cheese and make a queso batch! these are amazing!!"
"This was awesome! No leftovers, and I made extra shells! LOL! I did pour some sauce on the bottom of the casserole dish, and it helped a lot. I personally will add addsome extra sauce over the sheels, because I like things saucy, or serve it on the side. Made it with Red Beans and rice and it was a great meal!"
