Opening Remarks
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
Let me begin my introductory remarks by drawing on the wisdom of Aldo Leopold, quoting from his famous work, A Sand County Almanac.
The Choral Copse
By September, the day breaks with little help from birds. A song sparrow may give a single half-hearted song, a woodcock may twitter overhead en route to his daytime thicket, a barred owl may terminate the nights argument with one last wavering call, but few other birds have anything to say or sing about.
It is on some, but not all, of these misty autumn daybreaks that one may hear the chorus of the quail. The silence is suddenly broken by a dozen contralto voices, no longer able to restrain their praise of the day to come. After a brief minute or two, the music closes as suddenly as it began.
There is a peculiar virtue in the music of elusive birds. Songsters that sing from top-most boughs are easily seen and as easily forgotten; they have the mediocrity of the obvious. What one remembers is the invisible hermit thrush pouring silver chords from impenetrable shadows; the soaring crane trumpeting from behind a cloud; the prairie chicken booming from the mists of nowhere; the quails Ave Maria in the hush of dawn. No naturalist has even seen the choral act, for the covey is still on its invisible roost in the grass, and any attempt to approach automatically induces silence.
In June it is completely predictable that the robin will give voice when the light intensity reaches 0.01 candle power, and that the bedlam of other singers will follow in predictable sequence. In autumn, on the other hand, the robin is silent, and it is quite unpredictable whether the covey-chorus will occur at all. The disappointment I feel on these mornings of silence perhaps shows that things hoped for have a higher value than things assured. The hope of hearing quail is worth half a dozen risings-in-the-dark.
Taken from A Sand County Almanac by Aldo LeopoldAs University Provost, I want to thank you for accepting your appointment to Green-2. The work of this committee can have a substantial impact on the University in the years to come. The timing couldnt be better, in terms of President Brownells request that we undertake a five-year strategic plan for the institution. As I said in the letter of appointment, I hope that we can integrate the recommendations that you will bring forward into this process and help establish the foundation for Ball State University to continue to move toward becoming a sustainable university.
As an Historian, of course, I need to share with you some specific background on this initiative. As many of you know, in 1991 I asked a group of your faculty colleagues to assemble under the leadership of Professor Robert Koester and Dean Tom Lowe, who served as co-chairs of the committee, to undertake a study of environmental issues as they relate to our educational mission. This original Green Committee reported out its 35 findings, and we have continued to work on these -- some 20 have been implemented.
Looking back at the charge I gave to that committee, its interesting to see how much has changed in nearly a decade. My request then was that the recommendations be formulated which might:
- raise environmental consciousness in our student body,The work flowing from that committee has indeed facilitated much development on the part of students (and faculty) and has been institutionalized in several ways. Examples include the Greening of the Campus Conferences, the Clustered Minors program, the offering of summer workshops for faculty, and the endowment of the Bracken Fund.
The continuing interest in that green initiative is reflected in the mutual interests of faculty serving on the planning committee for this adventure. Bob Koester, John Vann, Jimmie Eflin and Dave Ferguson, put forth a proposal this past spring that outlined several steps for assuring the continued Greening of Ball State University. The reinstitution of the Green Committee, Green-2 flows from that set of recommendations.
As a Faculty Colleague, I would note that, although the environmental consciousness of our students has been provoked by everyday events in the world occurring since the original green report, we have much to be proud of in our follow through on the original 35 recommendations. Ball State continues to be an institution where things get done; we are in a unique position to be able to foster the bridging of traditional disciplinary areas and, as in the work of this committee, engage the complexities of our concerns.
As Student of the Environment, myself, I realize that any more, it doesnt take much scratching of the surface of student interest to discover the deeply held, though sometimes difficult to articulate, convictions. All of us suffer to some degree this same difficulty; we know that the issues need to be addressed, we feel a sense of conviction but we can also sense some frustration over knowing exactly what to do. Participation in the work of this committee can provide a venue to talk through and refine our respective understandings.
Finally, as a Member of the Muncie Community, environmental stewardship is a very real concern. Our community occupies land within the watershed of the White River corridor and/or prairie creek reservoir. We participate in the flow of material resources through the community, including that which goes to the landfill. We support and promote economic development by growing indigenous businesses or inviting corporations to locate in the area. In every instance the environment is a factor of concern. And without question, we are all, as community members, interested in sustaining a healthy environmental future.
Now, let me conclude these introductory remarks by noting one other element of context:
Quite separate from our Green Committee initiative, but at about the same time, a group of university leaders gathered on the Tufts University campus in Talloires, France, and elected to sign what became known as the Talloires Declaration. The ten tenets of this document attest to the interests of these leaders in using their institutions to demonstrate and exemplify more sustainable management of their campus resources and cultivation of curricular offerings.
The planning committee for Green-2 has recommended that we use this Declaration as the organizing framework for the work of Green-2; and, we will. In describing our decisions and operations in more detail, I would now ask Tom Lowe, who with Bob Koester serves as co-chair of Green-2 to introduce members of the planning committee, the steering committee, the Muncie community and the university community who have accepted appointment to Green-2.

The Students - Subcommittee Chair
Wendell Berry is a Kentucky farmer, a poet, a novelist, an essayist, and retired English professor. Hes also an environmentalist who embraces a strong ethic of sustainability and responsible treatment of the land and use of natural resources. To that end, he not only writes wonderful books about such ideas, but he practices what he preaches: he farms with horses, not tractors; he uses an outhouse in his backyard instead of modern indoor facilities; he writes with a pen and paper in daylight hours, rather than using electricity to run a computer.
In short, he believes that we, as both individuals and communities, need to live according to nature's rhythms, rather than make nature live according to ours.
It therefore seems appropriate for this
gathering to read one of Berrys best-known poems, entitled The Peace
of Wild Things.
The Peace of Wild Things
When despair grows in mereturn to top
Closing Remarks
Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
Well, we have packed a lot of information into this brief meeting. You have in hand some of the tools for your use; your subcommittee chairs have been briefed at a prior session and they, as mentioned, have additional tools to put at your disposal. We would like to use the remainder of our time to give you a chance to meet with each other in your subcommittee groups.
In the spirit of this political season, you will find that each of the subcommittee chairs, has his/her own banner around which you can gather. And although you wont be nominating any favorite sons for political office, you are welcome to begin cultivating an allegiance to your group. So, if you would, please move off to the various quarters of the room, visit with each other about next steps to be undertaken and exchange schedules so that your committee chair can begin to pattern a meeting cycle for your group.
On behalf of the University, I want to thank you for your willingness to invest your time and participation in the work of this committee. As I mentioned at the start, you will help establish important foundations for the longer-term development of Ball State University as it moves toward becoming a sustainable university. We can continue to be a unique institution, capable of demonstrating in the stewardship of environment, the programs we offer, and policies we adopt that sustainability can be a watchword for the university in the context of the larger Muncie community.

College Hockey:Cross scores with 2.8 seconds left to lift Boston College over Northeastern
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Boston College captain Tommy Cross scored a power-play goal with 2.8 seconds remaining in regulation to give the No. 2 Eagles a hard-fought 2-1 victory over cross-town rival Northeastern in front of 6,688 at BC's Kelley Rink Friday night.
The winning goal, which deflected of the hand of a Northeastern defenseman and past Huskies goaltender Chris Rawlings (34 saves), epitomized the patience that the Eagles showed on the night, patience that carried the team to victory.
On the final shot, Cross took a perfect pass from fellow blueliner Brian Dumoulin. As many thought Dumoulin would shot the puck himself, he instead was wise to the time remaining and slid the puck to an open Cross.
"Dumoulin got [the puck] and that's where he's a special player. Most guys would have panicked," said Cross of the winning goal. "He somehow had the clock in his head, looked over to me and I just got it off quick."
As the puck floated towards Rawlings, he began to jump thinking the shot would go high only to have it change directions in front and skid along the ice under the elevated netminder.
Not only did the goal break the deadlock to give BC the victory, but it broke the hearts of the Huskies, who for the second time this year hung with the Eagles only to fall in difficult fashion.
Northeastern first-year head coach Jim Madigan felt that his team had the effort and compete to win the game – something the club has shown throughout the young season. But minor mistakes in execution led to what is the team's third one-goal loss in the last five games.
"For the most part, we've had the effort," said Madigan. "What we haven't had is intelligent play making. You can have all the effort and all the compete, but if you don't play intelligently, that's the result."
One area of deficiency for the Huskies was special teams. Not only did they surrender the game-winning goal while killing a penalty, they failed to generate any offense in four power-play chances, two of those with the game tied in the third.
Madigan said that his team simply couldn't handle the pressure applied by the BC penalty killers, despite trying to work on it in practice all week.
"With our scout team this week, we tried to get our scout PK unit to [generate pressure] because they come at you," said Madigan. "[BC] pushes you outside your comfort zone. If you can keep the puck from along the wall, you'll get your chances, but obviously that's an area we need to improve on."
Though the Huskies struggled to generate much offensive pressure early, they took the lead into the first intermission thanks to Cody Ferriero's first goal of the season. Ferriero, brother of former Boston College standout Benn Ferriero, was on the doorstep to poke a loose rebound of Garrett Vermeersch's shot past BC netminder Parker Milner (17 saves) at 12:41 for the only goal of the opening frame.
Midway through the game, the Huskies had a glaring opportunity to expand the lead. After Mike McLaughlin's shot bounced off the kickplate behind Milner, the rebound landed on rookie Joseph Manno's stick. With the net wide open, he couldn't get control of the pick in time and his shot hit the side of the net.
BC, opportunistic, drew even exactly one minute later at 11:50 on a highlight reel play. Chris Kreider used his height to get a glove on an NU clearing attempt then corralled the puck, made a nifty move around the Huskies defender and patiently held the puck long enough for Kevin Hayes to get open at the left post. Kreider's pass was promptly buried by Hayes, knotting the game at 1 through 40 minutes.
"The minute I got around the [defender], Kevin was screaming," said Kreider. "That's something he does really well out there, communicate. I didn't do a great job of moving Rawlings. Kevin just had a beautiful shot."
While Northeastern falls to 1-6-2 overall and in league play, the victory gives BC (9-2-0, 6-1-0 Hockey East) momentum heading into Sunday's marquee matchup with cross-town rival Boston University.
"We can switch gears now," said BC head coach Jerry York of what will be the 255th all-time meeting between the clubs. "We have a practice tomorrow and we'll really focus on BU."

Johannesburg - The SA Football Association (SAFA) named Robin Peterson as their new chief executive in a hastily arranged press conference on Tuesday afternoon.The surprise announcement was made at Fluxman's Attorneys in Rosebank, the law firm that has been helping SAFA with filling the vacant position.Peterson, effectively replaces attorney Leslie Sedibe, who vacated this post earlier this year when his one year contract ended.Despite a stable term, Sedibe declined to extend his contract with the association and left at the end of January.SAFA's long-serving administrator, Pinky Lehoko went on to serve on an interim basis after Sedibe's departure.Lehoko carried on with the association, also failing to find a suitable replacement in March, and having to resume the interview and screening process from scratch.Peterson starts office on August 1, having signed a three-year contract.With SAFA having received a windfall in the region of R680 Million - which will be mostly channelled into the development structures - from as their legacy after South Africa staged last year's World Cup, the association's mandate was also on a man who would ensure on the trust is well managed."We are happy to have Robin on board," said SAFA president Kirsten Nematendani."We appointed him knowing that he was the right person for the job."His experience at this level will help us grow. We as the association will give him our full support."
Peterson is no stranger to local soccer having served - though briefly - in the same capacity for the Premier Soccer League (PSL) between 2000 and 2001 where he had replaced Joe Ndlela. He resigned from that position with immediate effect in the aftermath of the infamous Ellis Park Stadium stampede on April 11 ten years ago where 43 fans were killed and hundreds more injured in a league match between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.Though his term in the sport will forever be associated with that period, Peterson called it an honour to be back serving football again after a decade."It's a great pleasure and at the same time a challenge to be serving football again," said Peterson."I am happy to be back and looking forward to taking it to the new level."He said that he would like to like to see progress in the development structures that has long been the thorn in the progress of South African football.Nematendani went on to thank Lehoko for her contribution on a temporary basis."We thank Pinky for her contribution," Nematendani said."When we needed someone competent, she was there and did a splendid job for the association."

Why Community Corrections Works
"It's a question of solving a problem before it eats us alive."
– James A. Gondles
Executive Director, American Correctional Association
Since the mid-1980s, policymakers across the country have turned increasingly to prison as the most effective crime prevention strategy. They have passed a series of tough measures—mandatory sentences, habitual offender acts, three strikes laws—that call for specific and lengthy prison stays. As a result, there are now more than 1.5 million people behind bars in the United States—up from 500,000 in 1980.
Because of this increase, policymakers have been taking a closer look at who, exactly, is in their prisons. They are finding that many inmates are first-time, nonviolent criminals, often low-level drug offenders. Others have been sent back to prison for committing "technical" violations of their parole or probation, such as missing a meeting with an officer or going to an "off-limits" bar. By the early 1990s, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, violent offenders made up less than a third of all new admissions to state prisons.

Matador Ranch has been known for its quality Hereford cattle for many years. Since the mid 1980s we have expanded our vision to incorporate the best Angus genetics we could find. This breed rotation has produced a female that reproduces efficiently and that has range ability for our terrain here in the Caprock region of Texas. These cows are moderate-framed and produce calves that are sought after by feeders. Our calves have earned a reputation for being efficient in the feed yard and produce a quality beef product at finish.
Today we breed high quality Hereford and Angus mix Black Baldy cows which are paired with outstanding pure-bred Akaushi bulls to produce F1 Akaushi crosses. These cattle are proven to provide superior customer satisfaction and are marketed exclusively through HeartBrand Beef® (http://www.heartbrandbeef.com).
Matador Ranch is introducing Akaushi cattle, prized for their marbling and taste, into its breeding portfolio, with the first-generation crosses and purebreds expected this fall.
Matador's goal is to offer a consumer-preferred product that commands a premium at market by supplying Akaushi-registered progeny initially for other breeding programs. Guests at the ranch's hunting lodge regularly enjoy a meal featuring a mesquite-grilled Akaushi ribeye steak.
The expectation is the new breed will complement Matador's commercial cattle operation and through artificial insemination and embryo transfer develop a foundation herd.
About the Akaushi breed
Fifty years ago, the Japan Association of Akaushi began collecting, managing and processing all carcass performance, breeding pedigrees and economic data. Master geneticists and scientists used these data to select prospective sire and dam lines, which are not released for general production until proven meritorious by extensive and accurate statistical analysis, using a sophisticated progeny-testing model. As a result of this closed system, Akaushi are extremely uniform and consistent for all carcass and palatability traits.
Akaushi (Japanese Red) is one of four Wagyu breeds. "Wa" and "gyu" means Japanese and cattle, respectively. Akaushi is particularly valued in Japan for its high quality beef. Akaushi cattle were first brought to Texas in 1994 and today the breed numbers more than 5,000 head.
For information on the cattle visit the American Akaushi Association.

|Mass problems, part 1
|Logic Seminar
|Stephen G. Simpson, Pennsylvania State University
|Kolmogorov 1932 proposed to view intuitionistic logic as a ``calculus of problems'' (Aufgabenrechnung). This is essentially the famous BHK interpretation of intuitionism. Medvedev 1955 introduced mass problems as a rigorous elaboration of Kolmogorov's proposal. A \emph{Turing oracle} is a point in Euclidean space. A \emph{mass problem} is a set of Turing oracles. If $A$ is a mass problem, the \emph{solutions} of $A$ are the elements of $A$. We say that $A$ is \emph{solvable} if there exists a computable solution of $A$. We say that $A$ is \emph{weakly reducible} to $B$ if each solution of $B$ can be used as a Turing oracle to compute some solution of $A$. A \emph{weak degree} is an equivalence class of mass problems under mutual weak reducibility. Let $\mathcal{D}_w$ be the lattice of weak degrees. Muchnik 1963 observed that $\mathcal{D}_w$ is a model of intuitionistic propositional calculus. Since 1999 I have been studying the sublattice $\mathcal{P}_w$ consisting of the weak degrees of nonempty effectively closed sets in Euclidean space. I discovered a natural embedding of the recursively enumerable Turing degrees into $\mathcal{P}_w$. Moreover, I discovered that $\mathcal{P}_w$ contains a variety of specific, natural, weak degrees which are closely related to various foundationally interesting topics. Among these topics are reverse mathematics, algorithmic randomness, algorithmic information theory, hyperarithmeticity, diagonal nonrecursiveness, almost everywhere domination, subrecursive hierarchies, resource-bounded computational complexity, effective Hausdorff dimension, and Kolmogorov complexity. Recently I applied $\mathcal{P}_w$ to the study of 2-dimensional symbolic dynamics. The purpose of this talk is to introduce $\mathcal{P}_w$ and survey what is known about it.

I think I have a helpful answer for you...My 8 month old Zackary ate cereal and stage one foods perfectly then one day his lips would stay shut when I'd try to feed him cereal, fruit and veggies that I know he liked before....so I just went to my pediatrician and she said that it's a phase and that the most important thing is giving him a bottle (breast milk or formula)and to try solids again but to be patient and it will happen again. But her point was not to worry :0) Hope this helpsposted 11/23/2008 by CherylnArizona
I'm actually having the same problem with my 5 month old. He's been taking solids great for a month and especially last week - then all of the sudden woke up on his five month birthday and decided he no longer wanted to eat. Simply won't open his mouth. I'm wondering if it has to do with teething (few days later, he's presenting signs of teething). I called the nurse at our peditrician and she gave us all kinds of ideas that I thought were inappropriate for 5 month old - trying ice cream, popiscles, etc. It's been 5 days and he's still not taken anything. I have no suggestions since it's not absolutely neccessary for my baby to eat solids at this point. I'm definitely looking for suggestions about my little guy. Wondering if I just stop trying for a few days and pick it up again to see if that helps.posted 12/16/2007 by SKMiller06
Thank God, I thought my son Ian was the only one going through this! Ian is almost 7 months and he stopped eating solids around a week ago. I also called my pediatrician and was told that it sounded like a phase being prompted by teething. He also isn't taking the bottle as much as he use to. Ian is acting like nothing is wrong though, he is happy and is having wet and dirty diapers. If it keeps up over the next couple of days, I will take him to see his doctor. Its nice to know I'm not alone! :o)posted 07/26/2011 by Jamie142
I have the same problem right now, son just turned one. I think he is teething, he had a slight fever and stopped eating solids. He only wants his milk. It's been 4 days now since he stopped eating solids. I am worried but he plays normally. I hope this is a short phase he is going through because he normally eats 4 meals a day.posted 12/02/2008 by a BabyCenter Member

Daily Journal
TUPELO – Tailgating is not just for football anymore.
On Friday, the Tupelo High School PTO is encouraging the community to participate in a tailgate before the Golden Wave's baseball game against the Columbus Falcons.
The party will begin at 5 p.m. – the start time of the JV game – in the lower parking lot at Tupelo Middle School, near the baseball field. The varsity team plays at 7 p.m.
"The whole community, not just players' families, is invited to bring tents, chairs, tables, food and the Golden Wave spirit" to the event, said Pam Smith, a PTO member and tailgate organizer.
A prize will be awarded for the best tailgating decorations.
Last fall, the PTO organized a community-wide tailgate before a home football game and it was a hit, Smith said. THS Principal Mac Curlee was so pleased with the success he decided it would be a good idea to try it for baseball as well.
"We really don't know what to expect," Smith said.
For information, call Smith at (662) 680-9787.

That's why they fired that Benedict guy.
maybe they just don't have respect for an international criminal organization that conspires to promote and coverup molestation of children, interjects itself in the politics of nations and has a history of being complicit with groups like the Nazi's and their ilk. Not to mention their political work to attempt to reverse women's rights and attempt to force their quaint "health" ideas on individual citizens. I could go on about crusades, inquisitions blood libels, but I think i'll just leave it in the present.
At least we have a sense of humor unlike name calling brain dead right wingers.
So lets examine the cartoon, Benedict quit because the child molestation problem is getting to much publicity and he helped cover it up. So they brought a new guy in who most likely will continue the cover up. How can you have respect for people who support child molesters? You apparently have no morals at all.
^Actually there is a gay bathouse in a set of apartments that the vatican owns, and profits from. Wonder what else they do there?

I am 41 and have had RA for nine years. I've been on Enbrel (etanercept) for five years, and it works great. I've been off in the last year because we've been trying to have a baby. Well, we're finally pregnant (I'm two months along), but for the last two months I have flare-ups every day. I am really struggling. I've been doing a lot of massages and that seems to help. What month do you start going into remission? Flare-ups are showing up in places I've never had a flare-up before. Can you give me some hope?
About 75 percent of women go into remission during pregnancy, so not every woman will. If you feel miserable, then you need to speak with your rheumatologist about what medicines you can take during pregnancy, realizing that there is no medicine that is 100 percent safe. At best, any medicine that a rheumatologist can offer you is FDA category B, which means that although animal studies have found no evidence of harm to the fetus, there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.

Sunday February, 16, 2014: A great day for seeing what's wrong with a situation, generating ideas, finding solutions, making small decisions and saying what's on your mind.
Emotional expression is favored. But keep in mind that if those emotions are negative, releasing them thoughtlessly might have consequences. But if you're kind to others and think before you speak or act… this will be an agreeable day.
Tackle the little jobs that have fallen through the cracks, tend to your health and socialize. And… if you feel the urge to splurge… remember... watch your pennies and your dollars will take care of themselves.
Today's Quote
You need to let the little things that would ordinarily bore you suddenly thrill you. ~ Andy Warhol
Please note: The sky speaks to you if you will let it. Every day it delivers a message that each person hears in a uniquely different way. What do these daily self-help messages mean to you and your life? To find an astrologer or to find out more about Patricia ~ click here.

On March 24, Tera Group Inc. announced in a press release that they have constructed the terms for a planned financial derivative between Bitcoins and US dollars. They intend to have a swap between two US institutions in an amount of millions of dollars and tens of thousands of Bitcoins for the purpose of hedging the value of Bitcoins.
"The use of a Bitcoin swap is an inflection point in the evolution of cryptocurrency," said Tera CEO and co-founder Christian Martin. "There is incredible momentum and support behind this alternative global currency. But even with all this excitement, it is critical that the market participants have tools at their disposal to hedge their price risk."
Up until now, there has been no effective way to hedge or short Bitcoins against fiat currencies. While some options have been available, they have been clunky and only marginally profitable. Some analysts have speculated that one reason for the drastic increase in the dollar valuation of Bitcoins throughout 2013 is that there was no effective way of betting against it without first holding Bitcoins, selling them, and trying to buy back in at a lower exchange rate.
The Tera Group plan is to start with an unregulated non-deliverable forward swap agreement that will allow institutions to complete a transaction between Bitcoin and any other currency at a particular exchange rate and hedge the exchange rate for 25 days. Tera is also seeking permission from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to create a similar derivative on a regulated marketplace.
"We as a company are trying to bring some structure and some protocol to help the Bitcoin community," Leonard Nuara, the president of Tera, said during a phone interview today. "It provides a tool for a natural hedge to get relief from the price changes in Bitcoin." Bitcoin has been notorious for having a volatile exchange rate with US dollars, changing hundreds of dollars in the timespan of a few hours on several occasions. The recent troubles at Mt. Gox and VirCurEx have also led to higher variability of exchange rates.
Bitcoin exchange rates were volatile following the news. In the 12 hours following the press release, the rate on Bitstamp rose from $561.01 to $592.60, then fell to $572.93 as of this writing. The rate on Bitfinex rose from $562.25 to $590.00, then fell to $575.12 as of this writing. The rate on BTC-e rose from $562.00 to $591.95, then fell to $576.56 as of this writing.

Mudcat leans comfortably back in his chair on the Darwin's stage like he has no bones. With his comfortably loose clothing and trademark hat on his head, he looks like the musicians I used to see playing on the front porch of the moonshiner's house I lived next to years ago in North Carolina. His long fingers play the capo over the guitar strings, darting over and under in an intricate dance that looks as though he was born knowing it. Dan Dan "The Healing Man" plays the spoons along the washboard and Shannon Kirk sits and strums the bass with careless grace.
After a few songs and outrageous stories, Mudcat introduces his "little sister" from the audience and she joins the group from the crowd. I don't catch her name and it's not possible to know if she is really his sister. Mudcat's reality is very flexible and as his sister jokingly says at one point ,"Any word out of your mouth may be a lie." But for this space of time, anyway, she is definitely a sister, one with a lovely, soulful voice.
No one stands to play in this group. Everyone is seated, except when they get up at one point to do a little comic dance. It gives everything a very down-home, comfortable sort of feel.
Hobo the harmonica player is very late. He gets there about and hour and a half into the show but when he does a very good show becomes an exceptional show in my view because I believe every great blues band needs a harp player. Once Hobo arrives the place becomes energized and people are up and dancing. At one point, Jacob Holliday, not playing but actually listening this time (Jake tends to sit in with a lot of groups), gets up and does a joyful jig all alone for a few minutes. It is a delightful moment in a delightful evening, catching the impromptu joy that good alcohol and good music in the right measure can create.
My favorite song of the evening is The Piedmont Playboys' rendition of Jerry Jeff Walker's "Up Against The Wall Red-Necked Mother" which becomes "Up Against the Wall Red-Necked Mama" in this truly epic rendition. But every song and every story just melded together to make one phenomenal night of entertainment.
Mudcat plays several times a week at Northside Tavern and elsewhere around Atlanta, either solo or with a bunch of different musicians who sometimes include the Atlanta Horns, but this newer musical combination is a classic. The Piedmont Playboys (and Playgirl) are a talented bunch of musicians with a leader who just automatically makes you feel good. Seeing them is a guaranteed good time, and it was our joy to see them at Darwin's. Get yourself to wherever they are playing locally next. You'll be so glad you did!

I'd like to object to two tgihns:=========== In Europe, it is mandatory to label anything that is genetically modified as such. There are intense restrictions on imports that are genetically modified. Result: no one eats genetically modified foods. They simply don't exist because there is no market for them. All foods in Europe are "real" (excluding processing and I'm sure chemicals, but to a lesser extent than here in the US). ===========1. I live in a European _developing_ country which kind of has GMO regulations, but, as of summer 2010 when I researched the topic,a) the imported products weren't checked for GMO (the government had no money for this), so for the tgihns which are frequently imported in wholesale (like, rice from India and you might know that a lot of rice there is GMO), there was a chance that we actually were getting GMO-containing products which were just marked as no GMO.b) the organization which had to do random test checks of the products hadn't been getting any money for this from the government for several years, and then finally got some last year, but SOME.You might say come on, people are mostly honest, but the trick is that test checks for other tgihns (sausages on how much soy they actually contain, milk products on bad bacterias and % of vegetable oils, blueberry-containing vitamins, etc.,) always give surprising results regarding at least some of the manufacturers in our local market.2. We have quite a lot of local farmers markets. There are 3 types of sellers:* those that just sell the products (they buy them wholesale from the farmers)* farmers or their employees* old ladies with low pensions who keep a near-city for-rent garden or live in a small farm house which always have gardens (it's happened that pensions in my country are low for most old people, so the way these people are able to support themselves is either by taking money from their well-adjusted grownup kids, or by keeping a garden. Or having a job, if they have the opportunity to.)The products are sold* on official food markets (in theory, the product there are tested by the local laboratory, but bribing is still quite popular in the country, so there is no 100% guarantee in this case)* in vegetable/fruit kiosks* in high-trafficked places, on ad-hoc basis (old ladies, some farmers growing/selling short-seasoned products) obviously their product isn't tested by laboratories.=== But the trick is:* the farmers (amateur and professional) aren't educated about safe farming and also don't test the soil before renting/buying the garden/farm.Example on substance misuse: the local news mentioned a farmer whose produce was rejected (several tons of melons containing 10 times more nitrates than allowed) from the official food market. But our legislation doesn't force the laboratory to destroy the produce in such cases, so obviously the farmer, to avoid going bankrupt, sold his produce on more friendly' markets after this.* some territories in the city and near-city have above-the-norm radioactive soil contamination because of the specifics of our local manufacturing company (which actually feeds a big part of the city, so nobody will go against this company ever), and the people aren't educated on where these spots are.* near-city for-rent gardens are just several big fields divided in patches, so if one of the farmers is using something bad, their neighbouring gardens get contaminated too (via the soil+water cycle or via the air).What I'm saying is each country and maybe even city has its specific local issues Naturally, this doesn't mean they don't have to be managed.============ I just bought these two peaches from a supermarket. The small one is organic, while the large one is a conventional peach. I wonder…. how do they make it so large? Chemical pesticides and fertilizers? Probably. ============I don't really want to object here, I'll just elaborate on the Probably part, just in case:First, there are different sorts of peaches and because of this and also different climate+soil richness conditions, their sizes can vary. Very basic example: look at the open-air cactuses in Mexico and at the cactus which is a houseplant.Second, there is an artifical selection/selective breeding thing, which is a non-GMO way to get better (bigger, stronger, etc.) animals and vegetables/fruits.Which means that big peaches don't necessarily contain bad tgihns.
Occupy-Monsanto to Wear Bio-Hazmat Suits as They Protest a Genetically Modified Congress
On Friday, March 16, 2012, Occupy Monsanto's agents of change with the Genetic Crimes Unit (GCU), a group designed to protect America from genetically modified foods, will wear bio-hazmat suits when they visit Congress. The group will gather at Capitol South Metro station at noon on March 16 to highlight how chemical company Monsanto is contaminating our political process. The GCU opposes Monsanto's bid to increase spraying of food with toxic weed killers like 2,4 D (the main ingredient in Agent Orange), genetic contamination of the organic food supply, and other risks associated with genetically modified food (GMOs).
The GCU will arrive at the metro station wearing bio-hazmat suits to assess whether Members of Congress and their staff have been victims of genetic crimes. The GCU will hold a banner that reads, "Congress is Genetically Modified," as they circulate on Capitol Hill sidewalks. This day of action is part of a larger international call to 'Occupy Monsanto' taking place all over the globe including Spain, Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and at least 28 cities throughout the US.
"In the name of Wall Street profits, chemical corporations such as Monsanto genetically engineer crops to withstand high doses of their toxic weed killers that contaminate our food and water, and have not been proven safe. We deserve to know what we are eating. Virtually every major country requires labeling of GMOs in foods so their citizens can make informed choices, including all of Europe, Japan and even China," said GCU's Ariel Vegosen. "Monsanto's lobbying dollars are pouring into politicians so its clear we have a GMO contaminated US Congress that threatens our health and the health of the planet," says Vegosen.
WHO: Occupy Monsanto's Genetic Crimes Unit (GCU)
WHAT: ID'ing Victims of Monsanto's Genetic Crimes by GCU Agents in Bio-Hazmat Suits
WHEN: Friday, March 16, Noon
WHERE: Cannon Building: Independence Ave. SE, Washington, DC, 20540, corner NJ Ave
Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) has introduced three bills addressing concerns with GMOs. In addition, more than 900,000 people have signed onto the JustLabelit.org citizens' petition to the Food and Drug Administration for GMO labeling (the most to sign an FDA petition ever). Last fall about 100 people marched in the Right2Know March from New York to the White House to demand President Obama keep his campaign promise to label GMO foods.
Video of the promise can be seen here.
In California Monsanto faces a 2012 ballot proposition on GMO labeling. Finally, on September 17, 2012 Occupy Monsanto is calling for hundreds of actions internationally, www.occupy-monsanto.com

I implemented the Spatial Pyramid Matching algorithm designed by
Lazebnik in Matlab and the last step is to do the svm
classification. And at this point I totally don't understand how I
should do that in terms of what input I should provide to the
svmtrain and
svmclassify functions to get the pairs of feature point coordinates of
train and test image in the end.
I have:
- coordinates of
SIFTfeature points on the train image
- coordinates of SIFT feature points on the train image
- intersection kernel matrix for train image
- intersection kernel matrix for test image.
Which of these I should use?

Secrets of Success
I want to exercise...
Thursday, February 07, 2013
But I've let excuses take over yesterday and today.
Yesterday I was leaving the house I had been house sitting in... and I did clean (but not enough to work up a sweat) and I walked carrying three way-too-heavy-to-be-carried-co
mfortably bags for half an hour (my shoulders and neck ache slightly today, still, doesn't really count as exercise). I would have gone to zumba but I forgot my cell phone charger and went to go pick it up. Walking is better than nothing! Instead of even going to the gym, I visited with my mom for a while because we haven't for over a month.
Today... today I would normally have gone to yoga at 6:10. I'm hosting a little party on Saturday afternoon, one of those parties where you host a salesperson and invite your friends over to buy things. I think it's important - necessary even - to feed friends on occasions like this. However, since I'm still a student and only work two days a week, I'm just having a 'make-your-own-sandwich' bar... kind of tacky but I don't have time to make 20 sandwiches and who knows if anyone would want the ones I would want... so I bought some buns, wraps, bread, meats, cheeses, veggies, and fruit. Oh and chips, my mom suggested chips. Luckily for me, potato chips don't entice me. Anyhow, I went grocery shopping tonight with my mom because she has her car and tomorrow night I'm off house sitting in a new place and I wouldn't have enough time (nor vehicle) to get the stuff on Saturday morning. So... another day of just walking.
TOMORROW MORNING!!! I am going to my yoga class at 9:30. And I need to go to the post office. And I need to get ready to switch houses again. So perhaps I should be doing laundry... but I really feel like a bath. However, I should get some work done before the bath.
I'm not sure of what exercise I'll be able to get in this weekend. Saturday will be taken up with this party so I can squeeze in neither zumba nor yoga. Maybe there will be some dancing in the night... Sunday I could go to yoga or to the gym... but the house I'm at does have an elliptical so maybe I'll just stay there, use that, and walk the two dogs I'll be caring for. Next week I'll make sure I fit in more regular exercise!
Now, that 90-day 'say NO to junk food' challenge started today... I wasn't able to make it to the kick off party. Haven't made the best start to it though... even since I've been writing this blog entry I received some unpleasant news updates from my brother and so I ate two homemade cookies from the plate sitting on the counter. Definite emotional eating... and yes, they made me feel a little better but I don't need any more. And now I still want to exercise more...
Work, bath, sleep. Get up, go to yoga, eat well, have a good and productive day.
Take care, sparkfriends!

For Immediate Release: May 7, 1996

Michael Jacobson, ext. 328
Frito-Lay is test-marketing "Max" potato and tortilla chips made with olestra in three cities -- Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Eau Claire, Wisconsin; and Grand Junction, Colorado. Olestra is featured on labels as Olean.
The Washington-based Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), which is sponsoring the hot-line, plans to track and compile reported effects from eating olestra and transmit them to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Names of persons calling the hot-line will be kept confidential.
The FDA acknowledges that olestra can cause abdominal cramping, loose stools, and other gastrointestinal problems. Other effects include diarrhea, gas, and fecal urgency. Olestra may also pass out of the body and cause "anal leakage" and underwear staining.
Myra Karstadt, a toxicologist at CSPI who reviewed studies on olestra, said, "It is important that we hear from consumers who experience diarrhea or other effects from eating olestra chips. They should call 1-888-OLESTRA." She said shoppers may also obtain information about olestra's health effects by calling the hot-line.
CSPI has urged consumers not to buy olestra snacks because they cause gastrointestinal symptoms and interfere with the absorption of important fat-soluble nutrients called carotenoids that probably help prevent cancer and other chronic diseases.
CSPI is a nonprofit health-advocacy organization founded in 1971 and supported largely by the 750,000 subscribers to its Nutrition Action Healthletter. CSPI is well-known for its studies of theater popcorn, Chinese restaurants, and other foods eaten outside of home.

Google Exec Has Great News for Android Fans
Mike Schuster
Contrary to previous reports, Google has no plans to cease production of its Nexus line of phones and tablets.
If you're an Android user, then you had much to be happy about this week.
Just a few weeks after
gave the world a glimpse
of where iOS and Mac OS X were headed this year,
(NASDAQ:GOOG) fired back with an in-depth sneak peek at the upcoming version of Android, as well as an eyeful of new wearables and its follow-up to Chromecast, Android TV. While the tweaks and feature updates are already winning praise from users who installed the developer preview of Android L -- and both Android TV and the Moto 360 smartwatch look very promising -- there was a bit of unspoken sadness that hung in the air at this year's Google I/O event.
For hardcore Android fans who want nothing but the purest Google experience, recent word that the Nexus line of phones and tablets would be discontinued hung heavy in the hearts of attendees.
Two months ago,
The Information
that Google would soon cease production of Nexus devices, a product line which promises to run the latest version of Android unsullied by manufacturer skins and a glut of bloatware. And without the lengthy delays those wholly unwanted additions produce, Nexus devices are usually the ones to receive the OS updates first -- though
(NASDAQ:VZ) managed to botch that assurance, saddling the
(OTCMKTS:SSNLF) Galaxy Nexus with flagrant delays to OTA updates.
In the absence of Nexus devices, Google is said to introduce a program dubbed Android Silver, which purportedly aims to launch Nexus-like versions of the latest flagship devices (i.e. a Samsung Galaxy S5 without any manufacturer skin and little to no alterations to the OS) and would promote these devices to carriers and other retailers. As a bonus: Android Silver wouldn't be limited to just one manufacturer like the annual Nexus releases.
Although Android Silver looked to be an adequate replacement, there was just something about knowing that a new Nexus phone and tablet would always see an annual release that comforted users. Well, it now appears that the Nexus line isn't going anywhere for the time being.
In an interview with ReadWrite this week
, Dave Burke, Google's Head of Android Engineering and the Nexus program, flat-out denied that the company has any plans to discontinue the fan-favorite line.
"We are still invested in Nexus," Burke said. Referencing the Android Silver program, he added, "People have been commenting about Nexus because there is something else and they think that means the end of Nexus. That is the totally wrong conclusion to make."
Burke explained the inherent "statement of purity" the Nexus line exemplifies is essential to the development of Android at the coding level. "There is no way you can build the open source code without the phone or tablet or whatever you are building. You have to live and breathe the code you are developing."
He concluded, "I don't see why we would ever turn away from that, it wouldn't make sense."
Although Burke didn't go into detail about the Silver program, Michael Crider at Android Police
that "Silver is definitely real, and definitely exists at Google in some form." Adding, "Exactly what it will be when, and if, it debuts at retailers is still up in the air."
This news certainly comes to a relief to the most dedicated Android fans and hopefully signals to manufacturers and carriers that there is still a very strong demand for devices that are not only updated promptly but also run the software exactly as Google intended.
No positions in stocks mentioned.

The New Orleans Saints cautious optimism regarding knee injuries suffered by cornerback Johnny Patrick and running back Joique Bell in last week's preseason opening win over San Francisco proved justified, according to Coach Sean Payton.
Both players suffered ligament sprains and will not require surgery, Payton said after practice Sunday.
Payton also took issue with a suggestion the two players may be held out of the rest of the 2011 preaseason, saying both will be scratched for Saturday's game at Houston but that he would make no predictions on the timetable of their return beyond that.
Patrick, a third-round draft pick out of Louisville, has looked strong during training camp and was seeing considerable time on the field. He left the Superdome Saturday night on a golf cart, but Payton said following the win that initial reports were that Patrick had not torn a ligament or suffered similar serious damage.
Bell, too, has had a standout camp and Payton said he was a notable bright spot for New Orleans against the 49ers, where Bell carried 9 times for 52 yards.

The latest of the "Harry Potter" franchise to be adapted to film, the spinoff "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," will be in theaters November 2016.
Warner Bros. confirmed a release date of November 18, 2016 for the film. The film is also rumored to be part of a trilogy. Other details, such as the director and cast, have yet to be confirmed. David Heyman, producer of all eight "Harry Potter" films, is set to produce.
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was written in 2001, between the publication of the fourth and fifth "Harry Potter" books, as a companion book modeled after the series' Hogwarts textbook of the same name. The films, set about 70 years before the start of the "Harry Potter" series, will follow magizoologist and textbook author New Scamander and are considered an "extension of the wizarding world" as opposed to prequels or sequels.

STARKVILLE, Miss. - Mississippi State sophomore Martha Alwal earned the title of the state's top female college basketball player Monday when she was chosen the winner of the C Spire Gillom Trophy at the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame.
Alwal became the second Bulldog to win the award, joining Alexis Rack who won the trophy following the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
"I'm really excited. I worked really hard, so I'm excited I won the award. It's big for the program," Alwal said. "This award is bigger than me. It goes out to my teammates because I wouldn't have won it without them. It also goes out to my coaches because of the support they have shown me this season. I'm just really happy to win this great award."
Alwal finished the season the SEC leader with 16 double-doubles, 10 in conference play.
She also topped the league with 9.7 rebounds per contest, the highest average since LaToya Thomas in 2001-02, and her 292 boards are the fourth-most in a season by a Bulldog.
"I'm really happy for our program and for Martha. Obviously it's an individual award, but as Martha said, it's a reflection of a lot of hard work put in not just by her, but her team. I know she shares this award with our program and our team," head coach Vic Schaefer said. "It will be a great challenge to her to go into the offseason and better herself. She's seen her improvement from one season to the next, now let's see if she can make that next step and improve that much more in the next season."
Alwal rated second in the conference with 2.6 per game. Her 78 swats rate third in MSU history, and her 160 career blocks are 20 back of tying the school record.
The Worthington, Minn., native paced State with 12.1 ppg, and she capped the campaign with a 78.9-percent free-throw percentage, fourth-best in the SEC and ninth in MSU annals.
Alwal claimed the most rebounds by an SEC player this season with 18 in the season-opener against Houston. She also tied for the most blocks in a game with eight against Alabama on Feb. 21.
Southern Miss' Jamierra Faulkner and Ole Miss' Valencia McFarland joined Alwal as finalists for the award.The winner was selected by a vote of print, radio and television media in the state, and the award was presented at a luncheon at the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum.

A New Smyrna beach man was killed in a traffic accident early Saturday near Edgewater, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. FHP spokesperson Sgt. Kim Montes says 21-year old Augustus Stoker was transported to Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach, but died from his injuries. A passenger in the vehicle, 21-year old Devon Linssens, also of New Smyrna Beach, was listed in critical condition at Halifax Medical Center following the accident.
Troopers say Stoker was eastbound on Volco Road at Lingo Grove Road "…at a high rate of speed…" and lost control of the 1998 Ford pickup truck for an unknown reason around 12:20 Saturday morning. The FHP says the truck then struck two trees on the south shoulder of the road. The impact, according to troopers, tore the roof from the truck and Stoker was "…partially ejected…" from the vehicle. The crash remains under investigation according to the FHP.

Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated

Ashley Fields works for Deacon Blue (in a cameo appearance), but Alex Warren's the one who ties her up and sucks her tits. After applying and removing stickers from her chest and nipples, Warren intricately ties Fields to a table a la Gulliver's Travels. Clothespins (on her nipples and pussy lips), which Warren pulls off with his teeth, follow. Warren isn't too aggressive, and Fields sometimes looks bored, but nonetheless this video is pleasing, and should satisfy most B&D fans.

The two words "comfort" and "airline" aren't often mentioned together, but Turkish Airlines is looking to change that.
With their "In-Dream Seating" Turkish Airlines is improving on what has already been considered the best when it comes to inflight comfort. A new Sky Illusion Sleeping Set for long haul flights will be offered in business class cabins. So you can fly overnight and still be fresh for that meeting in the morning. You will feel like you are flying, but in a good way.
In business class, you now get a new blanket and pillow to add to the comfort. Those lucky enough to be flying out of the Boston gateway will get to experience this level of luxury first.
What else is going on at Turkish Airlines?
Miles & Smiles
A new Miles & Smiles program will allow travelers to gain certain advantages when not only traveling on Turkish, but also on the Star Alliance affiliates. Also, this includes an easier planning and booking process. Keep smiling.
Per Turkish Airlines, here are what the benefits include:
· More freedom to fly anytime you like with no high or low season restrictions applied in Seat Guaranteed Award Tickets.
· Increased number of award seats available on every flight, making it easier to secure Capacity Controlled Award Tickets.
· Miles will be awarded against the booking classification of the ticket, giving more rewards to higher fare categories.
· You can earn miles from every flight ticket you paid for, including Wingo and special offer tickets.
The details on both the program and the changes can be found at http://www.new-milesandsmiles.com/index_en.html.
For sports fans that are travelers:
Don't forget about the Turkish Airlines' Kobe vs. Messi Selfie Shootout with Free App.
