Swim Vacation, Day 4, by Heather
Another full day, another fantastic BVI day. Its almost hard to believe!
We got in the water a little late this morning, somehow all of us up to a slow start. Captain Rich moved the boat half way out of the Bight of Norman Island, and we all jumped in for our BIG morning swim. We warmed up with some stroke drills lead by Will, and then proceeded to an over 2 mile swim. Past the caves (where once was treasAAAAAAAR found) and to the very southern end of the British Virgin Islands. We swam back to the boat and found bacon, eggs and toast waiting for us.
We decided to give our swimmers a break and make this our one-swim-day. In spite of that, we all managed to spend more than 6 or 7 hours in the water, between snorkeling the caves of Norman and then hours of crazy water toys in Little Harbour of Peter Island, where we are now moored for the night.
The seas have calmed for us it seems, and we can hardly believe we are sliding down the back half of our amazing SwimVacation week
Weve all gotten to know each other pretty well in our time together so far, and it has been so much fun to discover little-known facts about each of our guests:
Linda was one of the first women engineers and has traveled the world in that capacity. Now she plays water polo, swims, rows and sings in a choir.
Keith once met the Queen of England while playing clarinet in the 48th Highlanders Military band.
Mark has two kids and two grandchildren, and he just. keeps. swimming. No matter how much we swim, Mark swims more. He just cant get enough.
Chris eats one cup of blueberries every day, and has a sneaky, devilish sense of humor that cracks us all up when we least expect it. Hes also a junkie for the Predator.
Steve is a stock car racer and always laughs at my dumb jokes. He loves trimarans, sailing, the ocean, and swimming (welcome to SwimVacation!)
Adriana has had several brushes with famous folks, including Paris Hilton (as an infant - Paris, not Adriana), Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey and Glenn Close.
And those are just a few facts about our intrepid group of SwimVacationers. Weve enjoyed our days and nights together, and will continue to for the rest of our special week.
Chris has asked to contribute to the blog tonight, and Im so grateful! Here he is:
Greetings to Hopper, Cortney, Liv, Gaffney, and Fletcher, we miss you here Hop.
My goal for the trip was to take every opportunity to swim that the trip provided. It has been more than
I could have imagined thanks to our fantastic guides Will and Heather and the excitement they have brought to each day.
Ive gotten into the routine of Swim, Relax, Repeat... the way a vacation should be!

Inducing senescence, a permanent arrest of cell growth, in aged cells may be sufficient to guard against spontaneous cancer development, researchers discovered. By activating the senescence pathway in mice that can't initiate apoptosis, researchers suceeded in suppressing spontaneous tumorigenesis.
Sandy Chang, assistant professor at M. D. Anderson's department of cancer genetics and colleagues studied mice with dysfunctional telomeres that promote tumorigenesis in the absence of the tumor suppressor p53. The mice also had copies of the p53 gene that cannot initiate p53-dependent apoptosis but can execute p53-mediated senescence.
The authors found that activating the senescence pathway was sufficient to suppress spontaneous tumorigenesis. The team believes that thier findings suggest that by halting cellular proliferation, p53-mediated senescence may act as an important tumor suppressor mechanism in aged cells.
The paper is published online in EMBO reports.

a most extraordinary sale of
1,500 Women's Dresses
at 25 below cost of production
Composed entirely of Charmcuse and French Serge Dresses,
in a truly wonderful assortment of colors and in all of the rep
resentative models which the present season has produced.
Q Just now the women of New York are busy with the problems of dress
for Fall, and the makers of apparel, having solved this problem last Summer,
are now busy with women's requirements for Spring.
I This sale is a case in point he maker of these dresses is even now on his
way to Europe to study Spring fashions, and prior to his departure sold us
his entire stock of this season s dresses at a liberal margin below actual cost.
Q Now, there is nothing remarkable about this maker's action, because most
makers clean up their stocks before devoting their energies to a new season.
But what is remarkable about this sale is the
liberality of th reductions ' to us and to you
This great collection of dresses has been sold to us at a sensational sacrifice
on wholesale prices, due in large part to the volume of business which this
particular maker receives from us annually.'
JJ Every garment in this offering is priced at far less than we ourselves are
accustomed to pay, and at so much less than you yourself in other circum
stances would have to pay, that we cannot think of any argument more
potent than that to persuade you of the wonderful opportunities in this sale
These garments have been divided into Ave
groups; they embrace the season's smartest
modelsandallthe modish colorings, though such
is the immense variety that in many instances
only one or two dresses of a kind are available.
Made by one of the best makers, these beautiful
dresses are notable alike for good workmanship
and finish and fidelity to style. It is, in a wora,
an opportunity the Jike of which you can hardly
expect to see again this season.

We examined the associations between selected state-level graduated driving licensing (GDL) laws and use-and-lose laws (laws that allow for the suspension of a driver's license for underage alcohol violations including purchase, possession, or consumption) with individual-level alcohol-related traffic risk behaviors among high school youth.
Logistic regression models with fixed effects for state were used to examine the associations between the selected state-level laws and drinking and driving behaviors youth aged 16 to 17 years (obtained from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS); responses dichotomized as "0 times" or "1 or more times") over an extended period of time (1999 to 2009).
A total of 11.7% of students reported having driven after drinking any alcohol and 28.2% reported riding in a car with a driver who had been drinking on 1 or more occasions in the past 30 days. Restrictive GDL laws and use-and-lose laws were associated with decreased driving after drinking any alcohol and riding in a car with a driver who had been drinking alcohol.
Restrictive GDL and use-and-lose laws may help to bolster societal expectations and values about the hazards of drinking and driving behaviors and are therefore partly responsible for the decline in these alcohol-related traffic risk behaviors.

GREENVILLE, N.C. - Season tickets for the 2012-13 East Carolina men's basketball campaign are now available for purchase at the ECU Athletics Ticket Office and at ecupirates.com. Season tickets packages start at $100 with the Economy and Young Graduate Plans.
Pirate Club Priority and Faculty/Staff packages are also available and range from $180-$220. The priority deadline to order season tickets is August 1. Fans and donors who purchase season tickets by the deadline will have the opportunity to select their own seats as a part of this year's reseating structure. Each men's season ticket purchased includes a women's basketball season ticket as well.
The Pirates return four of their top five scorers including second-team All-Conference USA guard Miguel Paul - the league's assist leader. Paul (15.2 ppg) and Maurice Kemp (10.5 ppg) give the Pirates a pair of returning double digit scorers and two of the league's top returning steals leaders. The Pirates also return two of their top three rebounders, Kemp (6.3 rpg) and Robert Sampson (5.2) along with their best 3-point shooter, Shamarr Bowden. Bowden is one of only two returning players in C-USA to shoot over 40 percent (.404) from behind the arc last season.
East Carolina averaged 16.5 wins during coach Jeff Lebo's initial two years, the first time that the Pirates have accumulated a mean of more than 15 wins in consecutive seasons since the mid-1990s.

Dean Martin Pritikin has committed his academic and professional career to integrating theory with practice. His involvement in oral advocacy began in law school, where he was the regional champion in the ATLA Student Trial Advocacy Competition and a semi-finalist in Harvard's prestigious Ames Moot Court Competition. Upon graduating, he spent several years at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges LLP (now Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP), during which time he not only participated in two federal trials, but also served as an adjunct coach for the highly successful Byrne Trial Advocacy Program at Loyola Law School.
Upon joining the Whittier Law faculty in 2004, Dean Pritikin immediately became the faculty advisor for the Trial Advocacy Honors Board (TAHB). In 2008, Dean Pritikin helped form, and became the Director of, the Institute of Trial and Appellate Practice. As Director, Dean Pritikin developed both a Concentration and a Certificate in Trial and Appellate Advocacy, brought experienced practitioners in to coach the school's competitive advocacy teams (the TAHB, the Moot Court Honors Board and the Alternative Dispute Resolution organization), and brought lawyers, jury consultants, and other experts to campus to speak to students about what litigation practice is really like. In addition to teaching litigation-related courses such as Competitive Trial Advocacy and his Advanced Litigation Seminar, Dean Pritikin teaches doctrinal courses such as Evidence, Criminal Law, and even Wills and Trusts. He won the law school's Teacher of the Year award two years in a row.
In 2012, Dean Pritikin was appointed Associate Dean for Experiential Learning. In that capacity, he helped spearhead the faculty's adoption in 2013 of their dramatic new curriculum, "Experience the Law," which was named 6th Most Innovative in the nation by National Jurist. In Spring 2014, he served as Acting Dean of the Law School.
Dean Pritikin's scholarship focuses primarily on criminal law, with an emphasis on incarceration and alternatives to prisons as criminal punishments. His articles have appeared in the Harvard Law Review, the Yale Law and Policy Review, the Colorado Law Review, the Wisconsin Law Review, and the Cardozo Law Journal, among others. Recently, Dean Pritikin has written articles about ways to reform legal education to better integrate practical training into the classroom. For example, in order to better understand the inner working of the criminal justice system and to get criminal trial experience to complement his civil litigation background, he spent part of his sabbatical volunteering as a deputy district attorney with the Orange County District Attorney's Office. His article based on his time there, "The Experiential Sabbatical," is forthcoming in the Journal of Legal Education.

Guest post by Meg Brown, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation Exhibits Librarian. She traveled this year to Boston and Washington, D.C., looking for inspiration for the new library exhibit cases that will be installed as part of the Rubenstein Library renovation. She recently returned from a trip to Italy to review prototypes of the exhibition cases being designed especially for Duke University Libraries by the Italian firm Goppion.
In preparation for our upcoming renovation, I've enjoyed looking at exhibit cases all over the United States. But this past March I took the ultimate journey. Along with architect Robert Peirce from Shepley Bulfinch and contractor Will Whittington from Lend Lease, I visited OUR new exhibit cases—in Milan, Italy!
The man in the picture to the left is Alessandro Goppion, an inspirational craftsman and designer, as he explains the mechanisms of our prototype. Goppion and his company have spent years perfecting the art and engineering of exhibit case design. (They designed the cases for the Mona Lisa in the Louvre and the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London, among other high-profile artifacts and works of art.) The case shown here will make a perfect environment for our rare, complete set of John James Audobon's Birds of America, which after the renovation will be permanently on display in the library!
Because Goppion is designing our cases specifically for some complicated spaces, an important part of the design process is a review of prototypes. For two days our team worked with their engineers and technicians to look at every detail—how the doors open and close, where the glass meets the millwork, where the light will shine on the books, how the shelving standards will affect the display possibilities. It was a fascinating process. Every question
we raised was answered, and over the course of two days on-site, the Goppion staff made changes to the prototypes while we went on frequent coffee breaks. The new exhibit spaces in the Rubenstein Library are going to be spectacular—I can't wait to see our new cases in place! In 2015, there will be a miniature Italian invasion when a group of craftsman from Goppion will come to the library to spend weeks installing these cases, until every door, shelf, and light bulb is perfect.
Did I leave the Goppion warehouse and explore Italy? What kind of exhibit librarian would I be if I didn't? I managed a quick tour of the Milan Duomo (currently undergoing a renovation far more dramatic than ours!), as well as a quick tour of the Sforza Castle before our first day of work. After two days of prototyping, I visited the University of Padua, where Emilia and Maurizio Rippa Bonati (professor of the history of medicine and a past co-curator of the Duke University Libraries exhibit on anatomical flap books) showed me some amazing anatomy books and took me on a tour of the legendary 16th-century anatomical theater, the first of its kind in the world.
After Padua I traveled to Venice, where I saw as many exhibitions as my feet would allow. All of the museums in St. Mark's Square were pure gold. I left with inspirations for new and different ways to exhibit our library collection materials and relate them to a general audience. (How fun to step back for a moment and see exhibits through the casual observer's eyes!) At the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, I had the opportunity to see Venice through a 19th-century American's perspective with an exhibit that included materials from Constance Fenimore Woolson, a once-famous novelist. I also encountered the most beautiful maps and globes I've ever seen! It was a productive and wonderful adventure.
Come and see us in the fall of 2015 to see how it all turns out in the new library exhibition spaces!

On her third studio album, Lily Allen is going for the pop jugular once more. Despite the quietness of recent two singles "Air Balloon" and "Our Time", not to mention Keane cover "Somewhere Only We Know", the album's feel is more "Hard Out Here" and "L8 CMMR".
Lily took years off to become a mother, work with activists taking care of the Amazon forests in South America, but she still managed to chart a few hits. In 2011 T-Pain and Whiz Khalifa released '5 O-clock" which used "Who'd Have Known" as its chorus. The track hit the top ten in both the US and UK. Previous to the release of Sheezus singles, she charted "True Love" from P!nk's The Truth About Love, and "Dream a Little Dream" from Robbie William's Swing Both Ways.
The album's opener and title track "Sheezus" is the usual pop reintroduction. Lily's previous album came five years ago, in the form of It's Not Me, It's You. That album was more of a social commentary than Alright, Still, which was more of an obnoxiously fun ode to Allen's crass and argumentative nature. With her second album she tackled sexism, agism, feminism, fame, substance abuse, politics and queer rights. With a string of hits including "The Fear", "Not Fair", "22", "F**k You", "Who'd Have Known" and "Back To The Start", she cemented herself as a force of pop nature, and not just the Myspace-starting, Cheryl Cole-feuding, paparazzi-fodder from the previous years.
It's Not Me, It's You hit the top spot in Australia, Canada, and the UK, and hit number five in the US.
Take a look back at her full videography.
"Sheezus" is ballsy and in your face. In it she name-drops, unsurprisingly, as she discusses being back in the spotlight and the low expectations of pop stardom. In it she mentions her thoughts about her contemporaries. First she mentions her apprehension "Been here before, so unprepared/ Not gonna lie, though/ I'm kind of scared/ The game is changing/Can't dress, come back, jump on the mic and do the same thing".
In its chorus she adds "Riri isn't scared of Katy Perry's roaring/ Queen B's back on the drawing/ Lorde smells blood, yeah, she's about to slay you/ Kid ain't one to f**k with when she's only on her debut/ We're all watching Gaga, LOL ah-ha/ Dying for the art, so, really she's a martyr/ The second best will never cut it for the divas/ Give me that crown bitch, I wanna be Sheezus".
And before she lightens up she adds "I'm ready for all the comparisons/ I think it's dumb and it's embarrassing/ I'm switching off, no longer listening/ I've had enough of persecution and conditioning".
The next three songs, "L8 CMMR", "Air Balloon" and "Our Time" are frivolous fun. The first, which is part of HBO's Girls recent soundtrack, is a simple ode to a relationship whose music has very bouncy and video game-y elements. The song is said to have moombahton elements.
"Air Balloon" is silly but has a great summer vibe to it. The track already hit the top ten in the UK. "Our Time" is mellower, but the lyrics are not about wowing. This is a version of Lily reminiscent of her more reckless and youth-obsessed days. The buzz single saw a music video release but no download available yet.
"Insincerely Yours" starts with a retro, R&B vibe. This track is a reflection of recent networking-site culture. She discusses the insincerity of over sharing online and having to follow everybody's steps whether or not they are famous. She adds that it is awkward to make people feel they know you enough to touch you and want a piece of you when in reality somebody in her position is doing it for the money 'if the price is right'.
"Take My Place" is a sweeter track which keeps the vibe of "Our Time". There is a level of melancholy and the beats move about slowly and rapidly wrapping around the verses and explosive chorus.
"As Long as I Got You" starts with a fun clapping-accordion combination. Then a guitar riff takes over as Lily confidently sings along the instrumental. This is another love song which has a "Faith" by George Michael feel to it.
"Close Your Eyes" keeps the love portion of the album going. In it she mentions Knowles for a second time when she utters 'I'll be Beyonce/ Baby, say my name'. These few tracks are not reinventing any musical wheel, but do keep the album going along confidently and comfortably.
"URL Badman" tackles online-personalities and trolling. Hilarious and eloquent with its word choice. "Silver Spoon" is Lily's way to discuss her musical origin. Unlike "Sheezus", "Spoon" discusses a generic way of being in this day and age when it comes to climbing the ladder and living for material things. Think of a less polished "The Fear".
"Life for Me" reflects on her current life as a married mother of two. 'Why do I feel as if I'm missing something?' She talks about being there and doing that, and not being in the mood to deal with nonsense when being head to toe covered in baby food. "Hard Out Here" was the introduction to this era, late in the autumn. The song discusses sexism and body image issues with female performers in the music industry.
"Somewhere Only We Know" her Keane cover is sweet and very well put-together with its piano arrangement. The single hit the to of the charts in the UK for three nonconsecutive weeks. The original version peaked at #3 in 2004.
Overall, Sheezus, a playful ode to Kanye West's Yeezus, shows the highest concentration of zeal of a pop album in a while. Even looking at the album art and its respective videos one can see the details used to make the whole. On the album cover Lily appears in front of an extravagant home with corgis, with Latin words dictating 'divide and conquer', and 'anything quoted in Latin sounds profound' on the deluxe version.
Not many female artists have churned interesting album concepts in the last few years. And that is okay. That is the point underneath all of Allen's sarcastic and back-handed complements toward her contemporaries. Surely, there is room for everybody, from the mediocre to the mesmerizing. Whether one is a conceptual artist, a lyricist, a producer, a vocalist, or an overall entertainer. "Sheezus" hits on the point that females are not just fighting machines whose sole purpose in life is to be controlled by jealousy and passive-aggrassiveness. Which is where the repetition of 'But then again, I'm just about to get my period. Period; we all get periods...' is an important moment in a young popstar's album unveiling. The last time a menstrual cycle mention made it into a pop tune, was in 2008's "Feedback", where Janet Jackson utters 'I'm serious/ I'm heavier than a first day period'.
The thing is that this female solidarity bit is hard to handle when coming out of Allen's lips. Which is what turns the Lily experience into what it is: witty, overzealous social commentary which allows her to make fun of herself.

I need to get up off of the couch.
Wait..... What?!?
"SOCIALIZING Introverts " ???
Yeah, that's right...
Where Introverts Socialize!!
Not all introverts are overly shy people that don't leave their house. As with anything there are many types of people all along the Introvert-Extrovert spectrum. And just because you're an introvert, it doesn't mean that you still don't like to get out and socialize. I mean, hey, here's a whole GROUP of introverts right HERE that likes to socialize! We don't mind going to a Happy Hour or karaoke. We just prefer not to do it at places with music so loud you can't hear the person next to you, where there's no elbow room or space, or where people are loud, rude and obnoxious (silly us, huh? :) And, of course, we also have many meetups geared for "quieter" activities, like museums, yoga, discussion groups and day hikes too.
So join our group, and come join the fun!
There are many people that are introverted by nature, but don't mind getting out, socializing, and interacting in the right environments. Non-crowded, quieter, low-key environments. This group will attempt to facilitate many opportunities for introverts to gather with other introverts in comfortable, low-stress environments to interact, to be social, to make new friends, and to catch up with old friends.
As stated, all meetups will be easy-going, casual and low stress by nature. Frankly, if I have to worry about how I DRESS for a get-together, it ain't low-stress enough for me. ;) (Unless of course it's a concert or such that requires dressing up. Then I can do that. I even have photographic evidence of me in a Tux :)
Also, though it is a "social" group, it will always be acceptable to be...well, introverted here. If you want to sit quietly, or go off alone or in a small group at an event, or you get to "I've had enough, and it's time to go", that will NEVER be considered "anti-social" or rude in this group. And, I hope that goes for me as well. Because when we do something like a museum, then organizer or not, I'm also liable to say, "okay group....I'm gonna go off and explore alone. Let's break up, and meet back here in an hour!" ;) And I hope and expect fellow introverts would understand that solitude is a wonderful way to make connections to certain things like art and music. :)

Lets assume I have this equation: $$\log(e^x+e^{-x})=2x+5,\quad x \in (-50,50).$$
As always we have to pick a starting point to solve this by Newton's method, but how can i know for what initial values this equation will or will not converge?
I think i need to use Matlab here, but I am not good at it...
Also, if I have $\log(e^x+e^{-x})=0.1x+5$, how can i specify the region of convergence for each possible solution?
At the end, I know that Newton's method has a quadratic convergence, can we show that it is true for our problem cases?

A typical system update requires about three button presses (system menu => system updates => update), not to mention if you try to play online or access the PlayStation Store, it will take even less effort because firmware updates are mandatory for those services. You can see how Best Buy is marketing the firmware update after the jump:
Best Buy's firmware update is an optional service, and no one has to purchase it. Nevertheless, the way Best Buy is advertising it is very unfair to new uneducated PS3 consumers. The retailer is making it seem like if you don't get the firmware update for $30, you're losing out. In reality, you're just getting ripped off.

Farther Along
Written by larry murray
Back when cattle creek used to sing
It's waters were sweet and its banks were green
And sunny days, went on forever
Me and old bugler, we'd run wild
Bluetick hound and the redneck child
We thought we were, birds of a feather
Ah the fish would bite, my how they'd bite
We'd catch them possoms in the pail moonlight
For ma, just to please her
Bugler's voice like gabriel's horn
Up in the cypress, all down through the corn
Golden sounds, yes to treasure
Bugler, bugler, bless your hide
Jesus gonna take you for a chariot ride
Say goodbye, say goodbye
One day ma she brought the news
She said, honey young bugler's done paid his dues
He's been hit down, yes on that highway
Dry your eyes and stand up straight
Bugler's got a place at the pearly gates
Say goodbye sugar, oh say goodbye
Repeat chorus

Grave, which bills itself as an "open-world, surrealist survival horror experience set in a constantly changing reality" showed up on my radar via FaceBook. I'm not really into "horror" games, but I am into "free," even if at the current time it is just a "demo" version, so I downloaded it and gave it a try.
The scene opens on a desert landscape - could be any desert, but the coloration and rock cliffs and the sparse vegetation tend to make you think American West desert - border town in Nevada, maybe. The wind is blowing - it does that in this game - a lot. If you walk one direction, you'll hit a cliff, so you walk the other direction. Did I mention the wind is blowing? Ahead you see a house - clapboard style, barely holding together, completely abandoned, but not so recently that the power has been turned off. A static screen is displayed on the loan TV on the 2nd floor - where you find a book of matches.
Yeah, matches. Not much of a weapon, but then you haven't seen anything dangerous yet. You hold the lit match in front of you for want of something else to hold in front of you. That's good, because as you leave the house, you see abandoned buildings all around....skeletons of skyscrapers....they weren't there before...and they aren't there very long before your head goes all fuzzy and - you are in the yard of the house again.
Looks the same, only now there's a railroad track in one direction. I guess I'm supposed to follow that. The wind doesn't stop....and there's creepy background music, as if you're supposed to be worried about something.
The Good
This demo shows off a really creepy game that almost works for me. The music is ominous, the environments are big and lit starkly, and there's some thought to it. You eventually find a few items that give you the impression survival is possible (gas can, flash light, flares) - and then night falls quickly, and the zombies attack.
The sound environment is definitely creepy if simple. You hear breathing when you go around corners, but no source. You find a static-plagued TV. And the wind...the incessant wind....
The Bad
Of course, being a demo, I have cut the game an awful lot of slack. Still, you'd think they'd remember not to have the blowing dust and debris from outside keep blowing when you're inside. No really - the "wind effect" visuals follow you into the house, into the various other buildings - even deep into the mineshaft. The sound falls off, but you still see the debris blowing through your match light.
The Ugly
At the present time, the Zombies are little more than untextured bodies (ok, flat black mat is a texture, but you get my point). And they're very hard to kill. I "fired" my flashlight about 50 times at one, and it disappeared in a puff of smoke. Good kill. However his buddy then proceeded to attack, and my flashlight was drained before he died.
Zombies are also unencumbered by physics. The next time I climbed a ladder and waited on an elevated platform, hoping to ambush the zombies. I saw one coming, he saw me, turned and....followed a vector directly to my location. Walking on air.
"Ever Changing...."
Each time you die, the environment comes back slightly different. The zombie infested town remains the same, but the out buildings are different - sometimes there's a house (yes, the original house) and sometimes there's nothing. The last time there was a giant ring machine (you'll understand if you see it) and then....the game kind of ended.
"Be Afraid - Very Afraid"
Ok, I admit it - I jumped the first time a Zombie came after me. It was dark, and it had been a long day, and I was like "nothing to worry about, it's only sunset...."
Overall, I like where the game is going, even if it's not there yet. This could be fun - check it out. It's an experience.....

The progression toward a culture of death expanded once again in Belgium as a nation with euthanasia laws being considered to include children.http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2014/February/Belgium-Child-Euthanasia-Opens-Door-None-Can-Shut/
Since 2002 when euthanasia laws were first implemented in Belgium, the march towards finding various reasons to end one's life has greatly increased as feared by opponents of legalizing suicide. The decision to end a person's life has been expanded to preclude disclosure to the one that is being put to death.
The culture in Belgium has generated a healthy two in three Belgians that favor this new euthanasia bill, and most shocking is the poll also discloses that three in four would approve for parents to euthanize their sick children without the child's consent.
Disregard of disclosure or not getting approval of the one being put to death is already being practiced by physicians without consent from the one being killed. There are already Belgian doctors terminating newborns with spinal bifida at the request of the parents.
The last year that euthanasia request were disclosed was in 2011 when 1,133 Belgians had their request approved which amounts to about 1% of all deaths in Belgium. The impact of allowing children to make a decision to end their life is a test of accountability and morals.
Many argue that a child does not have the maturity or understanding to get married, buy alcohol, or buy cigarettes, but will have the ability to end their life. Those against allowing children the authority to end their life say allowing children to make such an important decision is hypocritical.
Laws can be undermined and with a euthanasia law already as liberal as any law, there are going to be doctors that ignore the law and do what they think is best. No matter where the boundary is, there are always those willing to cross it.
In an article published today by Dale Hurd of the Christian Broadcast Network, Professor Michel Ghins who is co-founder of Euthanasia Stop declared, "I think the fact that Belgium is passing this law should sound a warning bell to other countries which might be tempted to legalize euthanasia. Because once the step has been made it's very difficult to prevent all kinds of extensions to take place".
Dying with dignity is a hot topic and the idealistic approach would be to provide a humane end to suffering. However with Belgian's liberal euthanasia law, there are situations where there was no real physical suffering by the requesting patient. There are cases were somebody with depression or despondent over a personal crisis that prompted individuals to end their life.
The war of words in Belgium is escalating as the media and proponents of the child euthanasia law are labeling those against as uncaring and intolerant. Those against the child euthanasia law are claiming those for it want the law to show that Christianity is dead in Belgium.
One thing is certain, should there be approval of children allowed to kill themselves, the next question is, "What is next?"

N.C. 87 sewer project to start Dec. 3
Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 10:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 10:30 a.m.
Construction will start Dec. 3 on the the sewer project along the N.C. 87 commercial corridor, according to City Manager Jeff Repp.
He told the Boiling Spring Lakes Board of Commissioners on Tuesday night that the estimated $3.4 million project should be completed sometime in June.
Brunswick County took control of property owned by city resident Dan Lichty through the state's eminent domain statues for a sewer pump station.
Lichty asked the board to consider donating a city-owned right of way for the pumping station rather than letting the county "take one of my best three pieces of property." Lichty said he has hired an attorney to fight the eminent domain action.
Repp told Lichty that the matter was now for the court to decide.
In other business, Repp said the final cost for paving Lumberton Road came in $23,000 less than the $100,000 budgeted for the work. He asked the commissioners to consider whether to spend the savings on additional road paving. Commissioner Mike Forte recommended the question be tabled to provide more time to determine whether shifting the funds to another road project is legal.
In a sign that the local economy may be improving, Repp told the commissioners that through the first four months of the fiscal year, the city is averaging 14 percent more sales tax revenue than is required to reach the budgeted number of $1.06 million.
Commissioners agreed to table a vote on an amendment to the Brunswick County Water and Sewer Agreement after city resident Joyce Warner pointed out a discrepancy in the amount of time owners have to pay the sewer hook-up fee for grinder pumps and gravity-flow pumps. Both should be set at a year, Warner said, to conform to what the county had stipulated. Forte agreed that the county had set a year for both types of pumps.

A couple of days ago, Drew Brees said that he has at least 10 years left of playing time in the NFL and the New Orleans Saints could greatly benefit if that was true. On July 27, 2014, Brees hopped on Twitter and said that his comments about longevity in the NFL earned him a couple of "randomly" selected drug tests.
On Sunday morning, Brees tweeted:
"On Friday I said I thought I could play til age 45. I have been 'randomly' selected for drug tests the last 2 days. What's up with that! Lol"
Maybe it's coincidence or maybe it's not, but it sure is amusing. It obviously was just as funny to Brees who made sure to put "randomly" in quotation marks and then to laugh about it at the very end of his Twitter post.
Last week, the 35-year-old Brees was talking about the upcoming season and his career in the NFL. He believes he still has plenty of time left to play and believes that playing until the age of 45 is not out of the question at all.
"No doubt. There's no question. I'm not getting ahead myself, like it's a pipe dream, at 45. I understand the challenges that come along with that. But why not? If I can stay healthy, and I'm having fun and playing at a high level, why wouldn't I wanna do that? The biggest challenge is physically, the maintenance, the recovery, the way you train. You gotta hope that you stay healthy, but why not?"
The NFL does randomly select drug tests to happen from time-to-time, and it's been that way for years, but their timing is impeccable. Brees is a quarterback that has always had a clean record in the NFL as far as drug tests, fines, off-field incidents or lack-thereof.
Perhaps it was pure coincidence that Brees was selected for random drug testing after his comments, but it's still strange. As Bleacher Report pointed out, Indianapolis Colts' punter Pat McAfee was "randomly" drug tested last season after making a big hit in a game.

Car2U offers fob-sized remote control for garage door, lights and more
Imagine being able to push a button on your key fob to open and close your garage door and even turn on lights or appliances in your house or office. Such a scenario is possible by adding a couple of aftermarket accessories to the Car2U "home automation system" that was introduced for the 2007 model year.
Devised by Lear Corporation, a major supplier of vehicle interior components, Car2U launched as a competitor to the Homelink system, from Johnson Controls, that has had this space in the automotive marketplace to itself with some 25 million vehicle installations
Lear's goal was to devise a system that would be easier to set up and easier to operate.
What caught our eyes was that Car2U offers a small, optional key fob-sized remote controller. It sold for $30, and you also need a $65 "gateway" module that connects the fob to the system in the car and car, but being able to manipulate a gate, garage door, security system or turn on or off lights and appliances from a key fob rather than having to sit in the vehicle and manipulate overhead buttons should be worth the cost for many customers.
In fact, we suggested to Jody Harwood, Lear project manager and Car2U co-inventor, that someone should invent a garage door opener that's small enough to fit on a keychain or even serve as a key fob.
In addition to the key fob, Car2U accessories include indoor and outdoor light and small appliance modules as well as house lighting dimmer switches.
Harwood noted that a home can be set up for "daytime scene or a night time scene" with those scenes activated from the vehicle through Car2U, which also can do such things as turn on exterior or interior lighting.

The Story
I'm using vim on a Ubuntu server to develop a webpage. Most of the time I work from a Windows machine using putty. Whenever I have to copy something from vim to the Windows clipboard I just select it while holding shift (shift is necessary when using set mouse=a in .vimrc).
The Problem
Sometimes I have to use an OSX machine. Well, no problem: Using the OSX terminal I ssh to my Ubuntu server and vim as I do using putty. The problem is: As soon as I set mouse=a it is no longer possible to easily copy content to the OSX clipboard. As long as mousa=a is not set, I can just copy content by selecting it.
The Request
Does anyone know how to easily copy something from vim to the OSX clipboard if the "set mouse=a" line is in .vimrc?
Thank you.
The Solution
in .vimrc
set mouse=a
set term=xterm
Then it is possible to copy from vim in iTerm if I press "Alt" while selecting the content I want to copy.

This savory, nutritious, Asian-inspired dish can be divvied into individual portions for the week, or prepared for a group potluck, picnic, or party. Not only can it be chilled for a cold, crunchy salad, but it can all be thrown into a nonstick pan and sautéed together for a vegetable-packed side dish or entrée. The recipe also allows for some time-saving shortcuts, such as using your favorite Asian salad dressing/marinade instead of mixing the one below, or using any pre-cooked grain you love (and skipping the grains all together for a lower-carb option). This salad tastes even better the next day after it has been marinating in the fridge.
• 1 package coleslaw mix
• 1 package broccoli slaw mix
• ½-1 cup edamame beans
• 1 red pepper, diced

JWC TO THOMAS CARLYLE ; 14 July 1846; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18460714-JWC-TC-01; CL 20: 235-237
Tuesday [14 July 1846]
Oh my dear Husband Fortune has played me such a cruel trick this day!—but it is all right now! and I do not even feel any resentment against fortune for the suffocating misery of the last two hours. I know always, even when I seem to you most exacting, that whatever happens to me is nothing like so bad as I deserve— But you shall here all how it was—
Yesterday in coming back from the Post office where I had gone myself with the letter to you, my head took to aching and ached ached on all day in a bearable sort of fashion till the evening when Geraldine came over from Manchester—and the sudden bounce my heart gave at sight of her finished me off on the spot— I had to get myself put to bed and made a bad wakeful night of it—so that this morning I was nervous as you may figure—and despairing of all things—even of the letter from you that I expected so confidently yesterday.
Encouragement came however from a quarter I was little dreaming of—before the post time—before I was dressed in fact—heaven knows how she had managed it—there was delivered to me a packet from—Bolte! at Cambridge!—a pretty little collar and cuffs of the poor things own work with the kindest letter—after all my cruelties to her!— Well I thought if she can be so loving and forgiving for me—I need not be tormenting myself with the fear that he will not write today either— And I put on the collar there and then, and went down to breakfast in a little better heart— At ten—the post hour I slipt away myself to the post office but was "detected" by Betsy and Geraldine who insisted on putting on their bonnets and accompanying me— I could well have dispensed with the attention—however I trusted there would be a letter and their presence would only hinder me reading it for a little— And two were handed out which I stretched my hand to receive—both for Betsy!— None for me the postmistress averred!—not a line from you on my Birthday—on the fifth day! I did not burst out crying— did not faint—did not do anything absurd so far as I know—but I walked back again without speaking a word, and with such a tumult of wretchedness in my heart as you who know me can conceive— And then I shut myself in my own room to fancy everything that was most tormenting— Were you finally so out of patience with me that you had resolved to write to me no more at all?—had you gone to Addiscombe and found no leisure there to remember my existence?— Were you taken ill so ill that you could not write? that last idea made me mad to get off to the railway and back to London— Oh mercy what a two hours I had of it!1— And just when I was at my wits end, I heard Julia2 crying out thro' the house— Mrs Carlyle Mrs Carlyle! Are you there? here is a letter for you!" And so there was after all!—the Postmistress had overlooked it—and given it to Robert when he went afterwards not knowing that we had been. I wonder what love-letter was ever received with such thankfulness!— Oh my dear I am not fit for living in the World with this organisation— I am as much broken to pieces by that little accident as if I had come thro an attack of Colera or Typhus fever— I cannot even steady my hand to write decently— But I felt an irresistible need of thanking you by return of post— Yes I have kissed the dear little cardcase—and now I will like down a while and try to get some sleep—at least to quieten myself will try to believe—oh why can I not believe it once for all—that with all my faults and follies I am "dearer to you than any earthly creature"— I will be better for Geraldine here she is very quite and nice become—and as affectionate for me as ever

August 4, 2008 Of all the equipment we use in our hi-fi and home theater systems, the thing that's changed the least over the past 20 years is the speaker. After all, there's only so many ways you can move air to produce sound. With that in mind, matching speakers to an amplifier should be easy, right?

It's difficult to find anyone who doesn't like to eat pizza, no matter what form it comes in or whether it's baked in a pan, on a clay stone, or as a pizza calzone. However, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, USDA, has issued a press release announced today by Albie's Foods of Gaylord, Michigan. It involves a recall of approximately 311 pounds of pizza calzone products due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.
The fully-cooked, ready-to-eat, calzone products were produced on April 10, 2012, and then shipped to institutions in Indiana and Michigan. The following products are a part of this recall:
Packages containing (48) 4.5 ounce pieces of Albie's Pizza Calzone
Each package bears the establishment number "EST. 10100" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
Albie's Foods nor the USDA have received reports of illness associated with consumption of the recalled product, although the USDA has categorized this recall as a Class I Recall – High Health Risk.
Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease. Listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. It can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths as well as serious and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems.
Michigan or Indiana consumers of this product may contact Vice President, Paul Lochinski, Albie's Foods at 989-732-2800 with questions or concerns.
