Housing Wire – "Shadow banking emerging from the shadows" (5-11-12)

A delicious salad at our new St. Helena restaurant, Goose and Gander, inspired Peter to make this one. The Gorgonzola cheese enriches the sweet pea and fruit flavors and matches nicely with our Stony Hill White Riesling. I also accompany the salad with toasted ciabatta bread.
2 heads little gem lettuce2 spring onions1 fennel bulb1 Fuji apple1 lb. English peas1 tbsp. finely chopped mint3 tbsp. olive oil1 tbsp. champagne vinegar1/2 tsp. Dijon mustardSalt and pepper to taste1/4 lb. Gorgonzola Dolcelatte4 slices toasted ciabatta bread
Rinse the lettuce in cold water to remove any grit, dry in a spinner and refrigerate until ready to use.
Finely slice the onions. Shave 1/4 of the fennel bulb very thin on a mandoline, and shave 1/2 the apple in the same way. Finely chop the mint leaves.
Shell the peas and steam them for two minutes to tenderize them.
Add the vinegar and mustard to the olive oil and shave or whisk to emulsify. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Place the lettuce, onions, fennel, apple. mint and peas in a salad bowl and toss with the dressing.
Serve on four chilled salad plates, adding slices of the Gorgonzola Dolcelatte and ciabatta toast to each. Enjoy!

Did Bastila leave the Order before TSL?

Rip away!
I know it's not proper lore. But still, I will have fun resolving the problems. Maybe I'll surprise myself and explain away everything. :P
Bear in mind, I'm going with the non-canonical assumption that Revan kept the star forge. Though I suppose a light side Revan ending could fit too. At least a light side female (since you actually see Bastila for a light side male Revan in TSL)
Humor me my idea (I'd rather you rip it than ignore it, should I start a new thread?):
About the exile being exiled before the Jedi Civil War..... The exile started to once again regain her powers shortly thereafter. Her journey into the outer worlds was not as long as we had thought. The council noticed this, and took her back in. They wiped her mind, perhaps out of fear or perhaps out of mercy: they didn't want her to suffer the pain of her memories at Malachor. Most likely both. Her suppressed memory kept the echos from emanating from her.
As for Bastila being young... do we have solid facts about her age? Or was she led to believe otherwise?
Again, The exile, fought in the Mandalorian Wars, but as Bastila her mind was wiped by the jedi council out of fear or maybe mercy. The exile was then known as Bastila during the Jedi civil war. She was trained very narrowly so as to preserve her to the jedi code. Her strong ability to connect to others through the force allowed her to master battle meditation at a very quick rate. The council tried to stunt the other gifts from manifesting. Notice that her power increased extremely rapidly in the weeks she was captured by Malak. It's almost like she regained her powers at the rate that Revan regain his/her power after being mind wiped by the jedi council. So, the exile would then have lost her powers a second time. First at Malachor V, then at the star forge when she kept herself from being consumed by the overwhelming dark side energies of the star forge. She did this by disconnecting from the force once again.
I'll just re-iterate what I said before. Why should the padawon Bastila force bond with Revan to touch Revan's memories? If I were a Master Vrook, there is no way I'd ever let Bastila be the one chosen to bond with Revan. It's too ricky. I'd pick someone else. This is all true unless the council didn't have a choice, in which case Bastila's bond happened naturally... a bond that happens naturally if she were indeed the exile that was close to Revan during the Mandalorian wars.

Weed Identification
Australia > > Sweet Briar
Notes: Seeds germinate in warmer months on disturbed land. Introduced as a garden, hedge and food plant in the early 1800s. Plants reach maturity slowly, flowering at about 3 years of age. Over a long period of time infestations can cover thousands of hectares, reducing grazing potential and harbouring feral animals. Major weed in some localities, especially on hilly, well drained, disturbed or poorly managed land.

There is a sequence of numbers $a_0, a_1, a_2, \ldots$ which I would like to approach zero as fast as possible. This sequence evolves according to the recursion
$$ a_{t+1} = (1-0.001 b_t)a_t + 50 b_t^2,$$
where $b_t$ is a sequence I have control over. Specifically, I need to pick a nonnegative sequence $b_0, b_1, b_2, \ldots$ so that $a_t$ goes to zero as fast as possible. Moreover, I need to pick all the $b_t$ ``ahead of time,'' that is, without any knowledge of what $a_0, a_1, \ldots$ might be. The only thing I do know is that $a_0$ is positive. My question is: what is the best choice of $b_t$?
Its clear to me that I can send $a_t$ to $0$ by picking $b_t$ which goes to zero slowly enough (e.g. $b_t=1/t$ works). But I'm having trouble working out what gives the best possible convergence rate.
More generally, I'd be interested in how to pick $b_t$ to get optimize the rate at which $$ a_{t+1} = (1-c b_t) a_t + d b_t^2$$ approaches zero, where $c,d>0$ and, if it makes a difference, $c$ is a number which is really, really close to zero.

Late this afternoon (June 30, 2011), state park staff began emptying their parks and campgrounds in anticipation of the government's shutting down at midnight. Other than a few key natural resource functions, most of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) will cease operating and staff will be laid off until a budget bill is passed. Visitors to any part of the DNR website will find a shut down message with an FAQ list to help guide people until the MNDNR resumes operations. The shut down will be official at midnight on July 1st.
Here is the result for hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts:
The State Parks are officially closed. Gates will be closed and all services such as water, restrooms, and camping will be shuttered. Technically, day use is allowed, but the DNR is discouraging it for safety and security concerns.
Minnesota historical sites will also be closed. This includes those in or near the state parks such as Fort Snelling, Forestville and Split Rock Lighthouse.
State Forest hiking trails and recreational trails will remain open, but unmaintained. In most cases any water sources or other facilities will be closed. Note-the Minnesota Valley State Trail remains closed due to flooding.
It isn't clear how long this situation will persist, but plenty of hiking options still exist. City, county and federal parks and lands are not affected by the state closure and offer a wide variety of hiking opportunities in the metro and around the state.

With notes of deep, dark chocolate, hazelnuts, and vanilla and tonka beans, you might think Montale Chocolate Greedy ($160) would be overly sweet and cloying. Nope. It's sweet and rich, but has bitter orange and coffee tones to balance it out. Think of a dark chocolate orange ganache tarte garnished with a dollop of dark, smoky sin, instead of a cake mix cake that's overly sweet and ultimately a waste of calories. Trust us when we say that just a spritz of this will make your special someone want to just eat. you. right. up.

New findings will be presented at a Society for the General Microbiology meeting in Liverpool, England on Wednesday to announce new medical research findings. According to a new study, bacteria that can cause serious eye infections are able to survive longer in contact lens' changing solution.
On Wednesday it'll be announced, researchers have examined different strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This particular strain causes microbial keratitis, which is an inflammation and ulceration of the cornea that can cause loss of vision.
Although most of the strains were killed within 10 minutes, with the exception of strain numbered 39016, it was the Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain which lasts in the solution for over four hours.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (strain 9027) is the standard strain used in all tests by the actual makers of the actual disinfectant solutions, and researchers have gathered nine different strains to compare with the Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain by using hospital patients in Britain.
Because the microbial keratitis can be extremely dangerous for people, it's important that the rick of developing this strain in the body is reduced. Researchers suggest that testing contact lens solutions should determine if all strains of, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, can be killed.
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) say that Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections typically can occur in people in hospitals or with weakened immune systems, hence the reason why using hospital patients for testing has become very important. This strain can spread on the body, including hands, so maintaining good hygiene can help in lowering the risk for infection.

Town Description
Brooksville was formed from parts of Castine, Penobscot and Sedgwick and incorporated in 1817. Home of the Holbrook Island Sanctuary nature preserve and blessed with 53 miles of coastline, Brookville attracts many to enjoy boating, kayaking, hiking and other outdoor activities. The town has had many lives and shows remnants of previous occupations practiced along her shores. Fishing, copper mining on Cape Rosier, a granite quarry, saw mill and gristmill operations, and ice storage and shipping have faded away. For many years, steamboats arrived at the wharf in Harborside, bringing families to spend the summer here. A number of establishments still cater to the summer vacation set. Hiram Blake Camp, Oakland House and others evoke the early 20th century hospitality shown to Maine's "rusticators."
Farming is experiencing a renaissance in Brooksville, with more than 20 active farms, along with bakeries, dairies and a winery. A farmers' market is held in summer.

Woody Herman (featuring Sonny Berman): Sidewalks of Cuba
Sidewalks of Cuba
Woody Herman
The Essence of Woody Herman (Columbia 57157)
Woody Herman (clarinet), Sonny Berman (trumpet), Pete Candoli (trumpet), Bill Harris (trombone), John LaPorta (alto sax), Flip Phillips (tenor sax), Marjorie Hyams (vibes), Ralph Burns (piano), Billy Bauer (guitar), Chubby Jackson (bass), Dave Tough (drums),
Chuck Frankhouser, Ray Wetzel, Carl Warwick (trumpet); Ralph Pfeffner, Ed Kiefer (trombone); Sam Markowitz (alto sax), Pete Mondello (tenor sax), Skippy DeSair (baritone sax),.
Composed by Mitchell Parish, Irving Mills and Ben Oakland. Arranged by Ralph Burns.
Recorded: Los Angeles, September 17, 1946
Rating: 93/100 (learn more)
Sonny Berman was on the road as a jazz trumpeter at age sixteen and dead from a heroin overdose at 22. He worked with many of the Swing Era greats -- Benny Goodman, Harry James and Woody Herman -- but was deeply immersed in the bebop vocabulary, which he played with fluency and dramatic flair. Berman possessed tremendous expressive range on the trumpet, able to belt out big, brassy lines or coo gently with a mute in hand. He starts out his solo on "Sidewalks of Cuba" with a bravura quote from "Flight of the Bumblebee," and proceeds to show off his melodic inventiveness and full-bodied trumpet tone. Had he lived longer, Berman would have been a major figure during the 1950s and after. As it stands, only a handful of recordings testify to his greatness.

Stepdad RYAN SHELBY has been charged in the murder of his 15-year-old daughter.
Murder suspect appears in court
Posted: Nov 05, 2009 11:20 AM CST

Posted by Rachel Folz - email
ROCKPORT, IN (WFIE) - Ryan Shelby, 32, the step-father of 15-year-old Alexis Osterle, was taken to the Spencer County jail Wednesday, charged with her murder.
Shelby made his first court appearance Thursday morning.
Not only did Shelby appear in court to hear his murder charge read but he also appeared in a children in need of services hearing regarding a separate family matter.
The nature of that matter is not known as this time.
Alexis Osterle's friends showed up at the Spencer County Courthouse to pay respect for their friend
Some wore T-shirts with her picture on it.
After reviewing a police report and a case file, Judge John Dart said there is enough probable cause for Shelby's murder charge.
If Shelby is convicted, he could face the death penalty or spend up to 65 years in prison with a $10,000 fine.
The court appointed Steve Ripstra out of Jasper as Shelby's attorney.
Spencer County Prosecutor Dan Wilkenson said that Shelby's arrest is looking like the only one they will make in the case right now.
He also said that he doesn't foresee any extra charges being filed against Shelby.
Shelby is being held without bond in the Spencer County Courthouse.
His next court appearance is November 19.
Then is when his murder charge will be formally filed.

There are two options I use to increase space on a partition:
- As a temporary solution I create a directory on another partition for a directory like /var/cache/apt/archives which can take a fair amount of space. I then move the contents of the directory to the new partition and replace the directory with a sumlink.
Cleaning up
You may also free up space with the
Running apt and removing obsolete kernels may also free up space. Usually two are sufficient, and they don't always get removed automatically. Don't remove the current kernel. If you haven't rebooted for a long time you may want to reboot to the newest kernel before removing old kernels.
The command
There is no facility to change the installation structure. They are hard-coded in the installation packages. What you can do is find a way to increase the size of your root partition. You can do this if you boot with your Ubuntu installation CD.
If you can provide the output of the command
we might be able to help on how to resize.
The installation path is a standard location and cannot be changed. If you have another drive that has space, you can move any amount of your files to that drive by mounting your big directories at partitions on that drive (this is easiest to do when you are first installing Ubuntu). It's usually a good idea to move your /home directory to a different partition/drive rather than trying to move your OS files.

From: "Martin G Walker"
To: "Positive Atheism"
Date: October 23, 2006
Subject: The Dignity of The Rational Perspective
To: The Editor
Positive Atheism Magazine
As a long-time atheist, I have thought often about the goal of raising the dignity of the atheist position. It seems that many people in society view the atheist position as one of defiance or confrontation, rather than a thoughtful life choice and perspective.
One approach that I have found to work personally, and that should work generally in society over time, is to set out and defend a rational, reasoned, and consistent world view that allows for concepts such as value and goodness, kindness and selflessness. This approach undermines the knee-jerk criticism of atheists as nihilistic, uncaring or amoral individuals.
The difficulty with this approach, of course, is to first arrive at such a perspective and then to articulate it. But, in this day and age, we have at our disposal all of the intellectual tools and historical discoveries to do just that. We are much better placed than our illustrious precursors, who knew much by instinct and inference, but could point to very little hard evidence for their convictions.
We know a great deal about the processes that give rise to the manifestation of material objects (physical forces, the appearance and accumulation of physical matter in the universe), and we know a great deal about the evolution of life forms. Life is a form of existence, just as matter is a form of existence. As Darwin found, live evolves not according to mysterious forces, but because the successful living form can improve upon itself through adaptation.
Life then has a direction and end, a purpose, if you will: To survive. This is in complete accordance with the reality we perceive around us every day. And it is in complete accordance with our intuitive and rational desire to further our own survival and the survival of our loved ones, and, indeed, all living things. Once we have accepted this central truth, we have a template for analyzing and assessing all of life's tough problems, no matter how personal or public. Will our choices and policies further the survival of life or hinder that survival, and how so? Immediately we see the wrongness of bigotry, intolerance, unlawful killing, oppression, needless destruction of natural resources, and the rightness of kindness, selflessness, cooperation, and tolerance.
An atheist perspective is, first and foremost, a rational perspective. Atheists are armed not just to play a dignified role in society, but to lead society forward toward an enlightened and peaceful age.
Best wishes, and many thanks for your work,
Martin G. Walker

The United Way of Kershaw County (UWKC) recently held a dinner to celebrate the mentors and mentees of its Hand in Hand mentoring program. Hand in Hand is made possible by volunteers who donate their time to spend with children from Kershaw County schools. Mentors remain with their mentees throughout their time in the program and encourage them academically.
On May 6, seven Kershaw County nonprofit organizations participated in Midlands Gives, a 24-hour online giving campaign sponsored by the Central Carolina Community Foundation. A total of 150 nonprofit organizations from nine counties in the Midlands participated in the fundraising event. Kershaw County ranked fourth highest in raising donations with a total of $13,779 and 136 donors by the end of the 24-hour period.
Elgin hosted its second annual PoDunk Festival on Saturday, and Elgin Town Council used its meeting Tuesday to thank those who put it together.
Seven Kershaw County nonprofits will participate Tuesday in a 24-hour online giving campaign called Midlands Gives. The Central Carolina Community Foundation is using Midlands Gives to raise money and awareness for 150 area charities.
Saturday night, Lugoff-Elgin High School hosted its annual Mr. L-E contest. Eighteen students competed for the title. Winners were Mr. Congeniality, Austin Branham; 1st Runner Up, Dakota Jones; Mr. L-E 2014, Gunnar Branham; Jr. Mr. L-E 2014, Gunnar Catoe. Whitney Clendening was voted as Ms. Sweetheart.
Easter is a holiday of two extremes. On one side is a covert celebration of springtime with cute bunnies and pretty dresses and Easter egg hunts and chicks and flowers and lambs. On the other is a lamb being slaughtered on Passover. There is a bloodstained cross on which a Jewish man is dying who proclaimed that he was the Son of God, and that he had to be killed so that God's wrath against my sins could be carried out not against me but against him.
Dr. Frank Morgan, superintendent of the Kershaw County School District, received the Jake Watson Award during the United Way of Kershaw County's (UWKC) annual Volunteer Recognition Dinner on Thursday evening.
In January, Dr. Cathy Moss, the first woman to graduate from the College of Dental Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), retired from a 40-year career in dentistry. Approximately 30 of those years were spent in Camden at what is now known as Drs. Moss & Owens dental practice, the practice of Dr. Moss and her late husband, Dr. William L. Owen III.

02.22.2011 / Just for Kids: Saving Can Be Fun
If your children received monetary gifts over the holidays or for their birthday, they may resist saving any of it. We will share tips to help you get your kids excited about the money building potential of saving and investing, and help them start building good money habits today.
Why Start Early?
Youths spend thousands of dollars per year, yet a study by the JumpStart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy found that 90 percent of high school graduates don't understand the basics of personal finance. Teaching your children money management skills early on can build good lifelong habits and help them avoid financial trouble later.
Elementary School: Watch It Grow
Young children usually find learning fun, especially if you use games and visuals. Kids can literally watch their savings grow with a transparent piggy bank. Have them add coins each week for a month. Ask them to guess (or calculate) how much they'll have at the end of four weeks if they add, say 25 cents each week. When enough coins have accumulated, exchange them for dollars to illustrate how pennies, nickels and dimes can turn into bills.
Kids also get a thrill from having their own savings account. With paper or online statements, they can watch their account grow with every deposit and see how interest increases their savings.
Middle and High School: Stock Games
You can begin teaching older children the value of investing by letting them "buy" and "sell" stocks on paper. (This activity may be suitable for children as young as 10 years). Help them pick a company to invest in- maybe something they can identify with, such as a music label or their favorite fast food restaurant. Show them how to check the stock price in the newspaper or online, then help them record how much stock they're purchasing and what the total investment is. Continue to work with them on tracking the stock on a regular basis and help them decide when to sell a stock or buy more.
Management Smarts, Starting at Age 5.
Of course, kids don't just want to save money. They want to spend it, too. Teach them sound management skills, such as understanding the difference between needs and wants, and learning to set financial goals. For example, if your child wants to purchase a new video game, discuss with them how much the item costs and how much it will take away from their savings or how it will not allow they to purchase something else, if they decide to purchase it. Finally, have your child separate incoming money into different categories- for any-time spending, long-term purchases (such as tuition, a future car, or just a large price item), charitable giving and most importantly their SAVINGS.
More Fun, Games and Advice.
You can find many helpful resources online at the U.S. Mint's H.I.P. Pocket Change (www.usmint.gov/kids/flashIndex.cfm).
Do you have any tips that you can share with our readers? Please share them.

The critical response to [artist id="2552793″]MGMT[/artist]'s sophomore album Congratulations has been mixed so far, but their fans had no qualms downloading the psychedelic warriors' album from iTunes. According to figures provided by iTunes, the trippy disc shot right to #1 on the iTunes albums chart this week, bumping mellow strummer Jack Johnson out of the #1 position . (In fact, after one week at the top, Johnson was out of the top 10 entirely for the sales week that ended Monday).
MGMT were followed by Ke$ha's Animal, which likely stormed back up thanks to her appearance on "Saturday Night Live," and Coheed And Cambria's Year of the Black Rainbow, which we like to think was goosed by their win in the MTV Musical March Madness competition.
Holding steady at #4 were multiple Academy of Country Music Award-winners Lady Antebellum with Need You Now, followed by Usher's Raymond v. Raymond, Justin Bieber's My World 2.0, the self-titled debut from former "American Idol" finalist Jason Castro, the latest "Glee" cast recording, Glee — The Music, the Power of Madonna, former 10,000 Maniacs singer Natalie Merchant's Leave Your Sleep and Lady Gaga's The Fame. (Precise sales figures are not available because iTunes does not provide sales data for the iTunes store.) Spiked from the top 10 was former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash's self-titled debut, which was #2 last week, and albums by the John Butler Trio, Sigur Rós singer/guitarist Jónsi and Erykah Badu's New Amerykah Part 2: Return of the Ankh.
There were fewer shake-ups on the iTunes singles chart, where B.o.B's collabo with Bruno Mars, "Nothin' On You," took over the pole position from easy rockers Train, who fell to #2 with their comeback hit "Hey, Soul Sister."
Up-and-comer Taio Cruz was just behind at #3 with "Break Your Heart" featuring Ludacris, right in front of another B.o.B tune, "Airplanes," which has a guest spot from Paramore's Hayley Williams. The top five was rounded out by Rihanna's "Rude Boy."
Usher hung in there at #6 with "OMG," which features Will.I.Am, and Ke$ha hit #7 with "Your Love Is My Drug," one of two songs she performed on "SNL." Jason Derülo was at #8 with "In My Head," just ahead of Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me," which he performed on "American Idol" last Wednesday, and rounded out by the Justin Bieber/ Ludacris pair-up "Baby."

RADNOR, Pa. (April 8, 2011) — Former U.S. Ambassador and three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee Tony Hall will speak at Cabrini on Monday, April 11, 2011, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the Grace Hall Atrium. Since March 28, Hall has been on a fast to focus public attention on the potential effects that could result from the proposed cuts by Congress to domestic and international anti-poverty and hunger programs.
Joining Hall will be Jim Wallis (president and CEO of Sojourners), David Beckmann (president of Bread for the World) and Ritu Sharma (president of Women Thrive Worldwide). Hall is executive director of the Alliance to End Hunger, is former Ambassador to the U.N. Agencies for Food and Agriculture, and was a member of the House of Representatives for 24 years.
In 1993, Hall fasted for 22 days to protest the elimination of the House Select Committee on Hunger, which he had chaired. Hall will visit Cabrini to hear about the College's work on behalf of the poor and vulnerable, and to participate in a larger explanation of social justice. For more information, contact Dr. Jerry Zurek (610-902-8360, email@example.com). About Cabrini College Students do extraordinary things at Cabrini College, a residential Catholic college welcoming learners of all faiths, cultures and backgrounds. Since its founding in 1957 by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the College has provided a transformational "education of the heart," focusing on academic excellence, leadership development and a commitment to social justice.
Cabrini offers more than 30 majors, pre-professional programs, concentrations and minors. The College also has graduate and professional studies programs at its main campus in Radnor, Pa., and at 15 off-site locations. The College's serene 112-acre campus is located 30 minutes from Philadelphia.

We have a IPSEC tunnel set up between our ASA and a Barracuda NG on the other side. The tunnel is functional, except it seems to have a very short idle time-out (couple of seconds) and it can only be raised from the Barracuda side.
I feel reasonably confident that ASA side is properly configured (but am open to ideas, in case I'm wrong) but I have no idea about Barracuda. If anyone knows that device - What are we missing? Where does the keep-alive get set? And, why can the tunnel only be opened from their side?
Any help is much appreciated.

Kelly Killoren Bensimon and Elle McPherson Share Taste in Husbands, Underwear
Plus, Britney's mom shares her secrets, the mystery of Rosario Dawson's appearance at the RNC, and more, in today's gossip roundup!
Maria Bartiromo, Suze Orman, and Donny Deutsch all want to be on a big MSNBC billboard that's going over the West Side Highway. A drug addict pleaded guilty to stealing more than $10K worth of stuff from Kirsten Dunst's room at the Soho Grand. Furrier Dennis Basso had a $200,000 lien put on his CPW pad by the IRS. Kelly Killoren Bensimon bought lingerie in Nolita put out by Elle Macpherson, who, like Kelly, was also married to fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon. Lindsay Lohan turned down $700K to pose nude, styled like Ann-Margret, for Playboy's 55th-anniversary issue. Sopranos guy Joe Pantoliano came to the GOP to lobby for people who have mental illness, like himself. (And we just noticed that the Post slugged this link "crazy_advocate." So sensitive, Post!) Alec Baldwin of 30 Rock and My Name Is Earl producer Greg Garcia are in a nasty little fight over their shows. Kim Kardashian texted her sister Khloe to suggest having a power lunch with ex-Apprentice shrew Omarosa to get ideas to help Khloe win the next Celebrity Apprentice. (Yawn.)
Mario Testino and Simon Doonan are brutally mocked in a new book by Vanity Fair's fashion director. Lance Armstrong says you can't be a bike champion and a sex champion at the same time. Chris Rock grimly thinks his career will one day go the way of Michael Jackson and Vanilla Ice. At the release party for New Kids on the Block's reunion album, Mark Wahlberg didn't show, Jordan Knight cut out early, and Donnie Wahlberg showed up late and refused to associate with the other Kids. Disaster on the block! (Except, wait. Did Marky Mark ever count as a real member of NKOTB?) Cindy Adams says that Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin's husband sat next to each other during Palin's speech but didn't say a word to each other.
Britney Spears started drinking while a 13-year-old Mouseketeer, lost her virginity at 14 (but not to Justin!), and started doing drugs at 15, says her mom, Lynne, in a new book brimming with maternal protectiveness. Rosario Dawson ate buttermilk fried chicken, then corn dogs at the RNC. (What was homegirl doing there?) Joey Arias discomfitted bankers by singing a profane love song to Isabel Toledo at a lunch in her honor. Prince Will thinks that Beyoncé always looks splendid. On the set of Bride Wars, Kate Hudson bossed around Anne Hathaway, but Anne got revenge by getting the January cover of Vogue. ScarJo bribes her way into Woody Allen's movies by baking him pies. And Dina Matos is shrewdly pursuing a fraud claim on ex-husband and ex-guv of New Jersey James McGreevey, saying she wouldn't have married him if she'd known he was a big 'mo.

Leonardo DiCaprio's brother, Adam Farrar, was arrested on Jan. 28. The charges aimed at the 43-year old?
According to the Daily Mail via Radar Online, DiCaprio's oldest sibling was said to be taken in by law enforcement in Texas on "two Class A Misdemeanors...for possession of a dangerous drug and theft."
This situation allegedly occurred on Friday in Collin County and the charges allegedly stemmed from warrants originally earned in Los Angeles.
By way of background, Leonardo DiCaprio had been worried about his brother who had gone missing before an entire month before being arrested. Additionally, Farrar has a girlfriend named Charity Moore who was caught by police about a week prior to his arrest.
According to Moore's Collin County Jail arrest record, the 38-year-old Farrar is facing two counts of possession of a dangerous drug, theft and a misdemeanor involving "a parent contributing to the child's failure to attend school."
Between the two of these American citizens, prison time could mount up given the severeness of the charges. And so, as Leonardo DiCaprio's brother was arrested in Texas along with his girlfriend, the pair are allegedly still being held at a Lone Star State correctional facility.

With NASCAR's "level playing field" today, pit stop ergonomics and race craft have never been more important. Because so much of each team's on-track makeup is similar--basic engines, tires, fuel, profiles, and aerodynamic properties--the human element in a team's pit stops becomes key. The search for a way each crewman can save a step here to save a second there is a never-ending pursuit. Every moment counts and the teams that consistently save that time on each pit stop help their driver gain immense ground during the course of a race. They can usually be found leading the points chase as well.
Roush Racing's Exide Batteries team agreed to let Stock Car Racing have a look at their work in progress. Meeting up at the Southern 500 at Darlington, the team allowed us to learn how their pit space has helped contribute to their success this year. Several are pictured here.
Under the wing of the team's jack man, Chuck White, while he moved the pieces into position at sunrise, we discovered a few of the little details that help make a difference in lightning fast pit work, crisis management, and the handling of the unexpected.
According to White, the Exide team's basic approach to pit preparation and ergonomics is simple. "Each crewman has the same pit setup assignment every weekend," says White. "That crewman doesn't do one thing this week, another job the next. He gets to know his equipment and how it operates each week. He is able to notice any changes and make sure they don't affect the tool's performance. Having each crewman responsible for a particular piece assures that something never gets overlooked."
White's pit setup assignment is looking after the compressed air hoses and controls. He stresses that the most important part of the hose preparation is consistency. "Each hose is attached to the same control valve and the same air tool every race," says White. "It's our way of making sure that if we have a problem, it is either noticed immediately or can be traced and solved right away. I mark each hose nozzle with a code that helps me join the same sets together for each race. Once they are joined, I always stretch each line out to remove kinks and twists before adding any air pressure, otherwise the line would twist more and possibly bind." Once all hoses are set up with the matching air tool, they are wound into a tight coil and anchored to the "War Wagon" with wrap-ties. The wagon is the base for the team's compressed air bottles, laptop computers, satellite link, toolbox, NASCAR's data feed, and crew chief and team manager stations.
Great care is taken to arrange each element of the pit space so that it is always in the same place. "If something happens during the race and Jeff comes in, we need to instinctively know that if we reach for a tool, it will be there," stresses White. "If the main jack breaks, I know I can reach for the spare and it will always be at the end of the tool box. No one moves the jacks." Part of White's race assignment as jack man includes treating the jack to a race-day checkup. The reservoir is checked thoroughly for dirt and the fluid flow is checked over its complete range. Anti-seize compound is spread on the handle's threads and eventually, the jack's lifting plate is preset for the No. 99 race-day right-side ride height. "I know that I can save time by not having to pump that extra couple of inches to get the car up," says White. Crewmember Dave Ballard has, by this time, established the NASCAR data link, joined his laptop units to video screens for crew chief Frank Stoddard and team manager Buddy Parrott, and located the direction to point the satellite dish to receive ESPN.
It's attention to these little details that helps set the team apart. Sherman Forrester, personal assistant to Jeff Burton, helps out during race-day pit setup by assuring that each pit tool is mounted on long fiberglass poles. The windshield and radiator cleaning brushes and Jeff's drink bottle are preset for exact length. Forrester then sits down and hand checks the entire stock of the team's lug nuts. One by one, he spins a nut on and then off a shaft, feeling for any resistance. Any burr or hang-up gets the lug nut replaced. There are hundreds of nuts in the box. Meanwhile, Rodney Halverson has set up the pit stop video camera overhead, arranged the team's race tires in sets, and is busy gluing the now checked lug nuts to the faces of the wheels. Beginning before sunrise, the setup crew has the space fully operational by 8:15 a.m., awaiting only full fuel cans to be race ready. It should be noted that later on this day, the Exide team's attention to pit setup and planning proved itself flawless. Jeff Burton's No. 99 Exide Batteries Taurus captured his second Darlington win of the season after dominating the rain-shortened race, and with his Southern 500 victory came another prize--a Winston No-Bull 5 check for $1 million.

EUGENE, Ore. - Grace Golden, a distinguished researcher and instructor in the field of sports medicine, has been selected to receive the University of Oregon's 2012 Becky L. Sisley Award. Golden, a native of Bonanza, Ore., has been an instructor for the University of Oregon's Department of Human Physiology at her alma mater since 2009.
Golden will be presented the award at a ceremony on Saturday, and will be honored at the Oregon-Stanford women's basketball game, which tips off at 1 p.m. that day at Matthew Knight Arena.
"Grace is a most deserving recipient of the prestigious Becky Sisley Award," said Oregon Director of Athletics Rob Mullens. "It is always special when you are able to recognize a high achiever who discovered their passion in a field of study as a student-athlete here at the University of Oregon.
"Grace has held on to that desire for learning since her days as a thrower for the track and field team. We are fortunate that she chose to return home to her alma mater, because now she shares her passion for learning with her students in athletic medicine through her inspired teaching and research."
After graduating from Bonanza High School, Golden became a track and field scholar-athlete for the Ducks. She was a freshman on the 1985 NCAA Championship team and then lettered each of her last three seasons (1986-'88) as a thrower. As a sophomore in 1986, she had a personal-best mark of 44-4 in the shot put in a dual meet against Oregon State, which at the time, ranked tied for seventh in school history. She recorded her PR in the discus, 134-6, as a senior in 1988. Overall, Golden competed in more than 40 meets for the Women of Oregon.
It was during her time with the track program that she found a passion for athletic medicine and embarked on a remarkable professional journey. She is in the midst of a distinguished career in sports medicine that is exemplified by her academic, clinical and teaching accomplishments.
As an Oregon undergraduate, Golden's interest in sports medicine led her to become an athletic trainer and a teacher. She completed the Bachelor of Science degree in 1989, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Upon graduation, Golden received a graduate teaching fellowship at the UO to advance her sports medicine expertise and completed the Master of Science degree in 1991.
From there Golden went on to become an instructor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, as well as working private sector of sports medicine. She then sought to continue her education, and enrolled in the Ph.D program in Exercise and Sport Science at Oregon State University.
During her studies at OSU, Golden worked in the Sports Medicine and Disabilities and Biomechanics laboratories assisting and conducting research in motor control, balance and reflex testing, which ultimately led to her research and dissertation on the mechanics of anterior cruciate ligament injury. Since the mechanism of the common anterior cruciate ligament rupture was not clear, she successfully devised and carried out a unique biomechanics research protocol to test the effect of abrupt changes in running direction on ACL loading.
Before she could complete her doctorate studies, UCLA persuaded Golden to accept a position on its athletic training staff in 2006. But simultaneously as she worked full-time for the Bruins, she continued the task of writing her research manuscript. Golden's dissertation resulting from this endeavor was novel work on ACL stresses. She was successful in defending her Ph.D. dissertation at OSU and in 2007 became Dr. Grace Golden.
She continued her career at UCLA until 2009 when she finally returned to her alma mater. As a vibrant educator in the Department of Human Physiology, she teaches courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and serves as thesis advisor and Research Coordinator for the Graduate Athletic Training Program.
Despite the demands of vigorous and varied career in sports medicine, Golden has maintained a record of continual and extensive volunteer service to her profession as guest lecturer, professional meetings moderator, research manuscript reviewer, grant reviewer, committee member, volunteer athletic trainer for numerous sports events, and many other voluntary contributions. She has also contributed to more than 30 invited research and professional presentations, symposia and publications.
The Becky L. Sisley Award recognizes former women's varsity athletes who have excelled in their profession, been an active member in their community, and have provided support to the University of Oregon and the Athletic Department.

Rolls-Royce RB.211 in America by Air
This high-bypass turbofan engine and its Trent derivatives are widely used on Boeing and Airbus airliners. Its unique "three-spool" construction incorporates one more compressor stage than two-spool designs. While more complex, the three-spool design can produce greater thrust with lower fuel consumption and emissions. The RB.211 was first installed on Lockheed's L1011 TrisStar.

How Silicon Valley is changing the way we help the homeless
Kathy Willens, Associated Press
Evan Howard needed to make giving money easy.
He was in charge of fundraising for one of San Francisco's oldest and best-known community outreach organizations for hunger and homelessness— Glide Memorial Church. For the past decade, receipts from the offering plate and mail drives had been declining.
He knew the community wasn't less interested in helping — people had just become used to making payments with a click of a button, not by writing a check. He tried everything he could think of — a text-to-give mobile tool, a phone app — but he ran into glitches with all of them. He had been trying to solve the problem for two years and had pretty much given up on the project when he was invited to a unique event that puts San Francisco's tech talent to work for local nonprofits.
Much like Silicon Valley hackathons in which developers stay up all night coding a project, "HACKtivation for the Homeless" pairs local nonprofits with techie volunteers to take on small projects. Kyle Stewart, who co-founded the event with community organizer Ilana Lipsett, moved to the Bay Area for a tech job, but shifted into nonprofit work and was surprised by how little nonprofits embraced technology in downtown San Francisco, where companies like Twitter, Spotify, and Uber have offices just down the street.
"I really felt like we needed to bring some of that talent to the nonprofit world," says Stewart. "Organizations that don't have enough employees, money, capacity — one thing you can do to build capacity is be more efficient, and tech does that."
Volunteering with a tech twist
Since HACKtivation is essentially a weekend volunteer event with a tech twist, the idea was to choose projects that could be managed within a two-day window. "We wanted to do something where we could get in, have an impact, and get out," says John Mills, co-founder and CTO of Zenput, a local start-up, who volunteered at the event.
When the event kicked off on Friday night, nonprofits pitched their projects — from a homeless safe house that wanted to open at Etsy shop, to a center for homeless teens that wanted a social network to keep members in touch. Then tech developers shopped around and matched with projects that suited them.
In the case of Evan Howard, from Glide Memorial Church, a couple freelance developers tackled his online donation project by thinking about how they would want to pay if they were to give to Glide.
They came up with a mobile-friendly app that works through Amazon's payment system and allows people to pay via Paypal or credit card with just a few clicks. Howard debuted the new system several weeks later during a Sunday meeting when they were raising funds for a new women and children's center.
The processors at Amazon auto-notify when someone makes a donation, so Howard set up a screen during Sunday services to live-stream a tracker to show how much they had raised. Within two hours, they had doubled their usual donations from such a drive from $2,000 to $4,000.
"People were just as generous as they usually were, but I was able to see who was donating, and many of those people gave again later in the meeting as we got closer to our goal," said Howard. Many givers, he said, were people who don't usually write checks or give cash, so he was able to reach the tech-savvy population that he was hoping for.
Building bridges
The Central Market and Tenderloin districts of downtown San Francisco have long been home to homeless and underserved populations and the organizations that serve them, but over the course of the last decade, high-tech startups have moved into this revitalizing neighborhood, resulting in some heated conflict between the two groups.

EliteHW has posted a modding article on changing the led in your floppy drive.
The second in the EliteHW series of case modding articles is aimed at the floppy drive. The floppy drive has become less and less useful since the advent of the zip drive and cdrw's. However, I use my floppy drive frequently enough to merit spending the time to change the led's to a more preferable color. I have been working on an all blue mod for some time so I hope to continue the trend!More information at EliteHW

True to the mission of liberal arts, the curriculum at Yale is arranged to allow students the flexibility to achieve both breadth across the curriculum and depth in one or two areas of study.
Yale students will take at least thirty-six courses on their way to earning a degree from Yale College. Yalies typically take four or five courses each fall, and another four or five each spring. There are roughly 2000 courses offered every year. At that rate, there are enough classes to last you for more than 200 years! The paths to graduation are practically limitless.
Each year, three-quarters of all courses enroll fewer than twenty students. Almost thirty percent have fewer than ten. The student-to-faculty ratio is 6:1. Many of the majors at Yale include a senior requirement (essay, project, or portfolio) that allows students to work closely with a professor on an issue that interests them.
Yale students have seventy-five majors from which to choose. If you're feeling a little overwhelmed by all the options, this might help: about twelve of your thirty-six courses will be within your major.
Not yet sure what you want to do with your life? Don't worry. You have time. Most Yale students wait until sophomore year before declaring a major.
Indulge your curiosity. Explore.

"Great Blend of ingredients"
"Tasty, simple, quick, love it!"
"This is seriously messed up. I gave it 5 starsk, but when it posted, it changed the 5 stars to 1 star. This is a great recipe. I will make it over and over but now the averages are skewed. Sure hope Erik can fix this!"
"I had a problem rating this recipe. I clicked on 5 stars but when it posted it only posted as 1 star. This skewed the average down to 3 stars. This is a great recipe. I hope Erik can fix the problem. I feel really bad, but I didn't realize it had switched to 1 star until it was too late to do anything about it. I tried to edit it and put it back to 5 stars and it wouldn't let me."

First of all, this is a great topic. Thanks so much to Natasha for inviting me to discuss this subject today. It is one I have given a great deal of thought to myself and feel very passionate about.
YA books generally focus on a teen hero or heroine. It is an interesting concept to consider the possibility of carrying a story over the line from teen to adult characters. Some might say it is not possible – that they must remain separate. I disagree.
The world of YA and Adult fiction is a hazy line at best. Publishers and readers alike struggle at times to clearly define the difference and, as a writer, I have begun to differentiate in a way that turns to a similar system as movie classifications. It is becoming more about content and suitability, rather than age of characters. How can age of characters define the genre when it's commonplace for lead and secondary characters to have paranormal qualities that allow for extended, or eternal, lifespans? Yes, they look 16 years old … but really they are hundreds of years old, with long histories and experiences to tell us about. So surely we can watch our lead characters take their love story a number of years into the future and adulthood.
Actually, it is a very interesting discussion point. I welcome feedback and would love to hear what other people think on this subject.
As someone who personally fell in love at the age of 17 and has gone on to marry that person and have two beautiful daughters, I am a big advocate for young love. I support the ability of teenagers to recognize their hearts desires and their right to follow them (as long as they remain within the bound of the law, people!). Love is not defined by age and a heart does not improve its ability to love just because our minds mature and become more educated. Many will disagree with me but I believe when you find the one – you know it on an innate level.
So yes, I believe stories in books can travel over the genre. In fact, I think it is an element to story telling that is potentially a natural curve that will be followed. Some stories can be played out in a stand-alone novel – some take an unknown number of books in a series. At the same time, some love stories can be played out over a period of a few short weeks to make it seemingly clear that eternal happiness is guaranteed. Others take longer. Sometimes the best love stories play out over years and there is no reason why it cannot play out in the ages that span from teen to adult. After all, a very great number of real life love stories span that exact period of time.
As a reader, it is a fascinating subject. As a writer, it is one I have every intention of exploring.
WLP: First, thank you Jessica for stopping by today! And second, you guys!! You have to read Embrace, it's truly one of my favourite YA reads of the year. You'll fall in love with the characters, the setting and it's full of fun plot twists! Trust me on this, go grab a copy ASAP!
Yes, you can! And if your characters demand it, you should. But if you're seeking traditional publishing, tread carefully. I had to make one of my characters 18 for my trad publisher, and therefore the rest of the trilogy. O e of the reasons I love the Indie track.
Lmao, I may have misunderstood the question. My bad.
I think that sounds like a fantastic project. I always wonder where YA couples ended up!
I think it's a interesting concept. I read one book like that. I didn't read the series when I was a kid, only the latest when the characters were in their mid-late twenties. The problem was the characters didn't mature. That can be the case sometimes either because somebody was mature as a teen or just remains childish as an adult, but in the book it seemed none of the characters changed at all, apart from them owning their own homes and some having families of their own. Maybe it was so the characters would be familiar, but it felt unrealistic. Despite that I'd love to see a series start as a YA and makes a transition into adult. The characters could starts as teens (high school) and then we'd see them later on attending college or being recent graduates. In a nutshell: It would be fun to explore 🙂
