Tupelo Honey Café announced on Monday that it plans to open its newest location in Raleigh's Cameron Village neighborhood in late fall. The Asheville, N.C.-based restaurant will show the Triangle that the only thing better than brunch on the weekends is brunch every day, any time.
The restaurant will open a 5,800-square-foot space in the 401 Oberlin development, which will feature indoor and open-air seating.
"We've long admired the food scene that has grown up around the Triangle," said Steve Frabitore, owner of Tupelo Honey Cafe. "When the opportunity to move in to 401 Oberlin presented itself, we jumped. We look forward to being a part of the Raleigh business community."
Like their original hometown, the restaurants are laid back, colorful, and whimsical, promising offbeat inventiveness in the kitchen and artistic diversity on their walls. As with its other locations, the Tupelo Honey team will look for local artists to bring the area's unique flavor to the dining area.
"Tupelo Honey has been on my 'must-do' list every time I've been to Asheville," said Kristin Frycz, a Triangle resident who practically squealed with delight via Facebook when news of the Raleigh location broke.
"I've eaten there on an (ahem) rough morning of a girls' weekend shortly after college graduation, and a rather early morning with my husband and son much more recently. In any setting, the food somehow is exactly what you need and want."
What can Raleigh expect?
Tupelo Honey Cafe offers Southern cuisine with a nouveau bent. The bruncher knows this is not a typical eggs-and-mimosa menu just from the options for a cheese omelet: Havarti, gorgonzola, cheddar, goat, or pimento cheeses (and add jalapeno cilantro pesto for a little heat). While just ordering an omelet can be an adventure at Tupelo Honey, why not try a taste of some of the other unexpected bites on the menu?
How about Appalachian Egg Rolls or pimiento cheese with house-made tortilla chips? Southern popcorn (fried okra) with Carolina White Sauce for dipping? The "Shoo Grill Cheese, Have Mercy" is a "mind-blowing" grilled cheese with Havarti, pimiento cheese, caramelized onions, maple-peppered bacon, smoked ham, fried green tomatoes, and fresh basil on sourdough wheat bread, if you're in the mood. Perhaps Southern-fried chicken saltimbocca with country ham and mushroom marsala?
These mouthwatering surprises prove what Tupelo Honey Cafe promises: It serves up a different take on the Southern plate and creativity rules in its kitchen.
In the mood for a traditional brunch, Raleigh? Sorry, that's won't be possible here…
So here's a menu suggestion for the perfect first-ever brunch at Raleigh's Tupelo Honey Café this fall:
• Fried Green Tomatoes – served over goat cheese grits with fresh basil
• Brian's Shrimp and Grits – either seven large delectable shrimp served over goat cheese grits and "anointed" with a spicy roasted red pepper sauce or a dozen shrimp with bacon, caramelized onions, spinach, and sautéed mushrooms
• Sweet Potato Pancake – one large buttermilk pancake flavored with cinnamon and sweet potatoes, topped with whipped peach butter and spiced pecans
• House-made Rosemary-Peach Lemonade (for the kids)
• Moonswine Mary – Jalapeno- and bacon-infused moonshine blended with Whiskey Willie's Bloody Mary Mix and garnished with pickled okra (for the grown-folks people)
To fully enjoy Tupelo Honey Café's free spirit, why not call in sick and do brunch on a Wednesday?
"I'm so incredibly happy a Tupelo Honey is opening in the Triangle," said Frycz. "This area will fall in love with the food if they aren't already fans through their other locations. The Triangle seems to be the perfect market for the restaurant; it's southern comfort-food-with-a-twist that utilizes local, fresh ingredients. And it's so yummy."

grand unified theory
Kevin Van Vechten <kevin <at> opendarwin.org>
here are some notes on the "grand unified theory" for ports which Jordan and I discussed this afternoon. i'll start with a definition of flavors and then move on. flavors are sets of options available for a port. the user will specify a list of desired options, all of the flavors of a port will be scanned and the one that provides the closest match to the desired set of options will be chosen. flavors may have dependencies, so those flavors' provisions and their dependencies, etc., will be read in. The 'vanilla' Portfile code is executed unconditionally, then the dependents to the selected flavor block will be executed, then the selected flavor itself. Building will progress on to the targets, etc. flavor syntax is as follows: # 'vanilla' port code portname superwhizbang portversion 1.0 patchfiles p flavor X { # flavor code goes here patchfiles ${patchfiles} yap } flavor A B C requires X Y Z { # flavor code goes here linkoptions ${linkoptions} -lX11 } Where A,B,C are features provided, and X, Y, Z are flavors required. hyphens will be used for grouping, in order to sort out the ambiguity in the requires side... i.e. is X Y Z three different flavors which each(Continue reading)

text: Aug 25, 2014 13:40 Class is in session for LSU football's standout freshmen Class is in session for LSU football's standout freshmen Ross Dellenger| email@example.com Aug. 18, 2014; 3:24 p.m. Comments Brandon Harris is shirtless in the photo. His back is to the camera, and his arms are outstretched as if he's mimicking an airplane. He's standing near midfield at Tiger Stadium, staring at the new south end zone structure looming before him. Harris, one of the headliners of LSU's 2014 signing class, posted the photo on his Twitter account in July. It's a sign of the times. At LSU, it's a surprise if highly touted freshmen don't play. That's the way coach Les Miles' program is running lately: Sign them, play them, replace them. The Tigers enter 2014 expected to play more true freshmen than ever. They signed the No. 2 class, and they intend to use them — and they have to in many ways. "Sometimes you don't have a choice," said Gerry DiNardo, formerly the coach at Vanderbilt, LSU and Indiana. "If Les' numbers are such that he has to, there's really nothing you can do." LSU's program is in such a state that true freshmen are vital to its championship-caliber existence. There's never been a more precarious time. In the previous two years, 17 players have left the program for the NFL draft with at least one year of eligibility remaining. In the previous four years, a whopping 21 signees have transferred or been dismissed. This year's team includes just 13 freshman signees who are starting their fourth or fifth year at LSU. The team is missing a whopping 25 signees — an entire recruiting class — from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 classes. Those players would be fifth-year seniors, true seniors and fourth-year juniors — players who would provide veteran leadership and experienced depth. Isn't this a concerning trend? "I have great concern every year," Miles said when asked this summer. "You have never seen me where I didn't have great concern. That would be one (of my concerns)." Top-10 recruiting classes help ease the massive amount of attrition. Miles has never had a group finish outside of the top 10 in team rankings on all of the major recruiting sites. This year's class — the most highly touted in Miles' 10 years — might give the biggest boost of all. On National Signing Day, even Miles admitted that the class was a "must" for his program. The Tigers signed four players rated the maximum five stars — the most of any team aside from top-ranked Alabama's six. They signed a whopping seven players ranked No. 3 or better nationally at their positions, according to 24/7 Sports' composite rankings. Harris, an early enrollee, knows what's expected of this highly touted haul. He's already well aware of LSU's rabid fanbase. "When I got here — this team won 10 games this past year — I'll be honest with you: It's like it was the Great Depression around here," Harris said. "This team is used to contending for national championships and playing championship football." Harris is just one of many all-stars expected to make their mark as rookies in 2014. Running back Leonard Fournette enters with the illustrious title of being the top-ranked recruit in the land. Malachi Dupre and Trey Quinn make up what many consider the best receiving duo in the nation this signing class, and five-star safety Jamal Adams might play more than any of the rookies. How good is the class? "I can tell you this: They will eventually get there," Miles said. "This class is that style of class you can win a national championship with at some point in time." For now, they are needed to fill holes and add depth — like many other freshmen have done in the past. Playing freshmen isn't new to the Tigers. In fact, 12 true freshmen in the previous four seasons have played significant roles. Where would LSU be had it not played these guys? The list: Defensive backs Tre'Davious White (2013), Jalen Mills (2012), Eric Reid (2011) and Tyrann Mathieu (2010); receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (2011); special-teams guys Colby Delahoussaye (2013), Reid Ferguson (2012) and James Hairston (2011); offensive lineman Vadal Alexander (2011); linebacker Lamar Louis (2012); and running backs Jeremy Hill (2012) and Kenny Hilliard (2011). In all, 51 true freshman signees have played since 2010. The number's only rising. LSU redshirted just 17 freshmen the previous two years while playing a combined 29. "It's awesome," said special teams coach Bradley Dale Peveto, who coached at LSU in 2005-08 before returning this spring. "Part of our tradition here is playing young players. We were doing that in 2005. Coach Miles has done it, really, throughout his career. We're not scared to put them out there, train them and get them ready." There is a need for them this year more than ever. Because of that aforementioned attrition, LSU's depth at several positions could be considered slim. They include running back, fullback, quarterback, receiver, defensive tackle and cornerback. A whopping 20 true freshmen are on LSU's preseason depth chart. The newbies are fine with this. It's a big reason they sign to play in Baton Rouge, and Miles knows it. It's a sales pitch on the recruiting trail. "It's helped us in recruiting," he said. "Everybody recognizes that we will play freshmen." The coach has said at least 15 freshmen will play this season. That number may increase as coaches watch their star-studded lot practice during fall camp. "The common thing is to single out Leonard, Malachi and even Brandon to some degree, but that entire class, I've seen a lot from all of them," offensive coordinator Cam Cameron said. "From what I've seen, all of the guys are what we thought they were. And that's not always the case. I think in some cases, these guys were all we thought they were and then some." A smiling Cameron finished up: "That's a good sign for us." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Fourth-Year Head Coach Ruffin McNeill
Sept. 30, 2013
Coach McNeill Press Conference
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Fourth-Year East Carolina Head Coach Ruffin McNeill addresses members of the media Monday prior to this week's game against Middle Tennessee. The following are selected comments:
Opening Statement:
"I'm very pleased with the win on Saturday. It was a well-fought and physical football game. I was very proud of how we reacted. Life is 10 percent of what happens to you and 90 percent of how you react to it. I was very proud of how we reacted after our last time out against Virginia Tech. Our coaches and players did a great job in executing the game plan.
"On special teams, we were facing a very talented and athletic football team, and there was a lot of give and take on both sides. The two field goals by Warren [Harvey] in the second half were big. I thought Lance [Ray] was very valuable in getting us some positive yardage in the return game. He is one of the tops in the conference and in the top 30 in the country [in return yards].
"Last night at our practice, I had the opportunity to tell the demo team - we call them the victory team - that they did a great job of being selfishly-unselfish. The locker room was the most gratifying thing to me. It's a sacred place because it's the greatest laboratory for human behavior. When the program wins, the university wins. When the university wins, Pirate Nation wins.
On Middle Tennessee
"We have to move on and get ready for this next one. [Rick] Stockstill is a really good football coach and Tyrone [Nix] is a great defensive coordinator, and they have skill players on all three sides of the ball. It's a group I'm very familiar with."
"It starts in the middle with [quarterback] Kevin Kilgore. He's a great general for their offense and reminds me a little of Taylor Heinicke from Old Dominion. He has good arm strength and can make all the throws from hash to sideline. He started all 12 games last year and he's a great leader.
"At the running back position [with] Jordan Parker and Reggie Watley, they both have breakaway speed. Like our offense, they involve the running backs in the passing game. We're facing a spread offense, but Stock has that old school part of him where he likes to run the football. So we have to be aware of that, defensively.
"The offensive line is what first caught my eye because they have four returning starters and they play well together. We have to be ready to get into the next level, especially up front defensive line and and linebacker-wise. I've known Stock since I got into coaching in 1985, so we've been friends for quite a long time.
"At the skill positions, Tavarres Jefferson and Kyle Griswould are really good football players. They catch the ball and get a lot of yards after the catch, so we have to be sure we're ready to go there.
"On defense, they have seven starters returning. Kevin Byard [safety], is their leader on the back end. He reminds me a little of Tre Boston in that he has a great instinct for the ball. Others that we need to look out for are T.T. Barber at linebacker and Jimmy Staten on the defensive line. They really fly to the ball and have attacking-type mentalities."
On Addressing The Team To Avoid A Letdown After The Big Win Last Weekend:
"The reason we need to play is because they're next. Of course with the emotion of the game last week will take over, but from day one, it's not about what we do, but how we do it. The thing I've asked them to do - and this is what they have to learn to do and it's hard because I can't guard them 24 hours a day - is to drown out the noise. It can be a positive or a negative noise. If it's outside the second floor, it's bad noise. I tell them to focus in on what I tell them.
"I believe in how we coach and teach them. I believe in the core of this team and that they won't flinch. All of that tells me that the only thing to worry about is our team. That's no disrespect to any opponent because we respect everyone, but the one thing I can control as a coach is how we prepare, and how we do the little things as people call them. To me they are big things. The screws are never too tight and the hay is never in the barn for us. That's the discipline we need to have this week."
On Why The Offensive Line Had Such A Big Day Against North Carolina:
"I thought [offensive line coach] Brandon Jones has done a great job, year-by-year, of getting that unit ready to play. I was talking to him before we came down to the press conference, and he compared it to the time we played Texas [at Texas Tech], and we had to block the athletes on their offensive line. A reason Vintavious Cooper got some of those big runs was because our receivers were aggressive. They were blocking. They took a lot of pride in blocking for their teammates and that all comes with being unselfish."
On The Progression Of Lance Ray:
"Lance joined us late last year. When I first met him during the recruiting process, I knew he was a good kid and that he worked hard. [Strength] Coach [Jeff] Connors has a chart of average, good, excellent or freak categories in the weight room. For Coach C, it's hard to reach `freak' status, which Lance had done. The biggest indicator was when I got Lance's grade report back from the spring semester, and it was excellent. That told me about him. This summer he worked hard by himself. It reminded me a little bit of what I saw Graham [Harrell] and Michael [Crabtree] do. He didn't count his reps; he made his reps count."
On How The Team Was Able To Slow Down UNC Tight End Eric Ebron:
"He's definitely a first round guy. We had to make sure we kept eyes on him. You're not going to stop a guy like that - you just try to control him, re-route him and change coverage's on him. We had to make sure we kept hands on him."
On How Rewarding It Was To See QB Shane Carden Respond After The Loss To Virginia Tech:
"We want to get as many of those guys in our program. They're called self-motivated student-athletes. I love motivating because everyone is not trained the same. Everybody learns differently. He definitely has the `Coach Me, Coach' mentality."
On The Encouragement Of Having Reserves Step Up And Produce:
"Those kids made their reps count. When you're not in practice, you can still learn. When you're opportunity comes, or your number is dialed, you can pick up the phone. Being able to bring Kyle [Tudor] in slowly and not giving him too many reps too early was good. Maybe we can give him a little more of a workload this week. All we ask them to do is the best they can do and not worry about being better than the next man."
On Justin Hardy's Block In The North Carolina Game:
"When I talk about how we do good-on-good's and best-on-bests, that's when I get nervous. Justin is a quiet leader. He speaks about three or four sentences on the field. Dwayne [Harris] was like that, so was [Michael] Crabtree and Wes Welker. They don't speak too much, but they strain on every play and that's a tribute to Coach Connors. We can play all day and that's how we're built. We take pride in how we're built. Zico Pasut blocked well. He's one of the most valuable players on our team. He can play any position on our team right now without any work. He can play tight end, flex, tailback, fullback and he plays all special teams. He doesn't have many missed assignments. He definitely has a positive effect on our team."

Los Alamitos Owner Pledges 10 More Years of Racing
Los Alamitos Race Course owner Ed Allred April 15 distributed a letter to "participants and employees" that said he plans to run races at the Cypress, Calif. racetrack for at least 10 more years.
Los Alamitos Race Course owner Ed Allred April 15 distributed a letter to "participants and employees" that said he plans to run races at the Cypress, Calif. racetrack for at least 10 more years.
The inaugural Summer Thoroughbred Festival at Los Alamitos Race Course began successfully July 3 with encouraging attendance and handle figures.
Dr. Edward Allred has been selected by the Thoroughbred Owners of California (TOC) to receive the 2013 Ed Friendly Industry Service Award. The award is presented annually.
Los Alamitos Race Course will press ahead with plans to conduct Thoroughbred racing in the absence of Betfair Hollywood Park next year, representatives of the Orange County track announced Sept. 12.
Los Alamitos Race Course officials were planning to meet Feb. 1 with the city of Cypress, Calif., to begin discussing expansion of the Orange County facility to accommodate Thoroughbred racing and training.
Ending much speculation about its immediate future, Betfair Hollywood Park will operate its annual fall meet in 2013, track president Jack Liebau said in an appearance before the California Horse Racing Board Jan. 17.
Like dealing with a bad tooth, California racing representatives are coming to terms with the fact that Betfair Hollywood Park will eventually have to be replaced.
R.D. Hubbard, chairman and majority owner of Ruidoso Downs in New Mexico, announced Sept. 3 that serious drug offenders will be banned from the race track's private property beginning in 2013.
Responding to what track owner Dr. Ed Allred called "a desperate situation" at the state's simulcast wagering locations, the California Horse Racing Board agreed to hike takeout on Quarter Horse wagers at Los Alamitos.
Zia Park will kick off its inaugural 44-day season Friday with an 11-race card of Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred racing, with the opening day program highlighted by the $50,000 Premier Stakes for Thoroughbreds at six furlongs.
Ed Allred, the owner of Los Alamitos Race Course, has reportedly backed out of a plan that could have brought Thoroughbred racing to his Quarter Horse facility in the event Hollywood Park were to be sold to development interests.
Backed into a corner by workers' compensation insurance rates expected to soar to 70% of trainer payroll, Quarter Horse officials at Los Alamitos Race Course in Southern California are fighting back with a plan that will cut costs by more than half in most cases.

Winner alert! HappyHippie (comment 5) and Heather (comment 21) have been selected as winners by the powers that be at Random.org. Both of you keep an eye out for an email with further instructions, and I hope every enjoys snacking while watching The Nut Job with their families!
The Nut Job, due to arrive in theaters January 17, features a pair of parents we've been talking about here on the BabyCenter Blog for years.
Will Arnett, who voices a mischievous squirrel named Surly on a quest for — you guessed it — nuts, lends his talents to the Open Road Films flick, as does Katherine Heigl. Take a look at their adventures here, in The Nut Job trailer:
During a recent online roundtable, Katherine Heigl opened up about her first animated role.
The mother of Naleigh and Adalaide Kelley explained, "I just really wanted to be a part of something that I could share with my kids. And we're BIG animated movie watchers. I think we pretty much queue something up every night to watch with the kids. I thought it would be fun if I was actually in [the movie]."
The actress just recently experienced being separated from her family for three weeks after being at their Utah home for two straight years.
"I thought, 'I can do three weeks away. It's okay. I can handle it,'" Heigl shared. "But I almost find Facetiming harder. It makes you long to just touch them. And you can't 'cause you can see them… and I get this weird thing about the baby. I just want to hold the baby!"
Dad of two Will Arnett chimed in on trying to strike work-life balance as well. The father of Archie and Abel, whose mom is the actor's estranged wife Amy Poehler, said, "I try to reverse engineer it. To look at what my family demands are and what my kids need and try to work backwards from there and retrofit everything into it. I feel very blessed to work on something like this, where it doesn't take [me] away from the kids. Anything that takes me away from my kids I dislike."
As for what quippy tagline we can expect our little ones to be mimicking after watching the The Nut Job, Arnett admitted, "I think Surly kind of says something like, 'we do it, but we do it my way.' I could see my kids throwing that back in my face, like, 'yeah, I'm gonna to do it… but I'm gonna to do it MY way.'"
Two (2) winners will receive prize packs including:
- Nut Job coloring puzzle *shrink wrapped with set of crayons (4 pack)
- Peanut shaped adhesive note pad
- Foldable lunch tote
- Purple acorn shaped pen
- Character sticker set
- Poster

On orbit 62166 for FO-20 I was able to hear myself on CW on the downlink. Lots of chirps and unstable frequency noise but what was interesting is that I could not get SSB through it. I tried many times and never could get a SSB signal through and the condition of the CW downlink seems to indicate big problems with the transponder. I know this bird is been having some problems but has anyone else seen this? 73 ----------------------------------------------------- Scott F.

College Hockey:Penn State celebrates Pegula Ice Arena groundbreaking
Penn State celebrated the official groundbreaking for Pegula Ice Arena on Friday as coaches, fans and dignitaries gathered at the Penn State field hockey complex to mark the occasion.
Penn State president Rodney Erickson, board of trustees vice chairman Karen Peetz, acting director of athletics Dr. Dave Joyner and Terry Pegula, who along with his wife, Kim, donated $88 million in September 2010 for the construction of a new, state-of-the-art facility and the elevation of the hockey programs to the Division I level, were all in attendance.
"I'm proud to officially mark the construction of Pegula Ice Arena," said Erickson in his opening remarks. "This is truly a momentous day for Penn State, our student-athletes, the local community and ice hockey fans everywhere. Our goal is to make this arena, and the vast array of activities to be held in it, the national model by which all other programs are measured."
"This groundbreaking is an extraordinary moment in the history of Penn State intercollegiate athletics, and it's an opportunity to express the gratitude of our students, our fans and the entire Penn State community for Terry and Kim Pegula's generosity and vision," added Joyner. "The Pegula Ice Arena is impressive, not just for what it will be, but for what it will do."
Following the individual remarks, the group then joined Kim Pegula, associate athletic director for ice arena and hockey development Joe Battista, head hockey coaches Josh Brandwene (women) and Guy Gadowsky (men), senior vice president for development and alumni relations Rod Kirsch and Buffalo Sabres chief development officer Cliff Benson for the ceremonial dig.
Pegula Ice Arena will be located near the corner of University Drive and Curtin Road, across from the Bryce Jordan Center and will be completed in time for the 2013-14 season, coinciding with the men's and women's hockey teams' second year at the varsity level. The men's team will join the Big Ten for the 2013-14 season, while the women's squad will begin its second year as a member of College Hockey America.

Turntable DJ is a free WordPress theme for creating music blogs.
The theme is a tribute to turntables, DJ's, cassette tapes and the old school way of making music.
Rifflet is a new site you can have some fun with those songs that you've never gotten around to finishing.
The concept involves the uploading of something called a "rifflet," which is a piece of a song – like a bass line, a guitar riff, a drum beat, or something else altogether. Each rifflet must also be less than 60 seconds long. Members of the site can then browse through these "proto-songs," and combine them with other rifflets they find or even just incorporate them into their own original music.
Rifflets can be played, tagged, rated, commented on, and downloaded and each rifflet's page will show the artist, title, genre, length, description, and the format of the recording.

Bleeps and Bloops is a Live Journal blog that follows the creating of a modular synthesizer built around Synthesizer.com modules.
From the site:
What this journal is about?
I'm building a modular synthesizer over the next year (and beyond!) through Synthesizers.com's "Build a Modular Synthesizer in a Year!" program, or as I call it, the "Module of the Month club." The basic concept is that in exchange for a reasonable payment each month, Synthesizers.com will send me a new piece – or "module" – that I will incorporate into the ever-expanding synthesizer. The journal will chronicle this process with writing/observations, pictures of the work-in-progress, and sound examples of the fun and kooky things that this machine can do.
The site also features audio snippets of each module as it is added.

When it comes to foreign policy, I am very disgruntled with the Republican Party. Learning the wrong lesson from 9/11, the GOP now has Nation Building as one of it's core ideological tenets. American interests are no longer the Party's concern. It's all about Global and Islamic interests. Like the Democrats, The GOP supports the agendas of the Muslim Brotherhood, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States.
Radio host Michael Savage has had enough. He is now calling for a new Nationalist Party to challenge the GOP from the right.
The conservative radio host Michael Savage Sunday called for a third, "nationalist" American political party to challenge the Republican Party on the right of the political spectrum.
"We need a nationalist party in the United States of America," said Savage on Aaron Klein's WABC radio show.
"You have the rudiments of a new party in this country called a Tea Party. They need to restructure their party. They need a charismatic leader, which they don't have," he said. "When you say Tea Party no one knows who the leader is because there is no leader. No man has stepped forward who can lead that party."
Savage is the third-most widely heard radio talker in the country, and a leading voice among conservatives seeking an alternative to the Beltway Republican Party.
I agree with Michael Savage. Some may cringe at the term Nationalists since the Leftist Nazis used that term. Nationalism just means putting your national interests first.
Personally, I wish the Republican Party would adopt a national interest based foreign policy. But just like the Democrats, they are Transnational Progressives who do the bidding of Islamic interests. When someone challenges the The GOP's Pro-Globalist/Islamic foreign policy, they get called isolationist and areshunned.
Despite Michael Savage's call I don't see anything changing. Too many Republican voters blindly support any military action whether it's in America's interest. One day the American Right will wake up and realize they have been fooled. A strong defense does not mean getting involved in conflicts on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood, Saudi Arabia and Gulf States.

I need to use the module skimage, which calls the module SciPy (I need to find contours)
import numpy
from sys import argv
from PIL import Image
from skimage import measure
# Inicialization
spritesToFind = argv[1]
spriteSize = argv[2]
sheet = Image.open(argv[3])
# To grayscale, so contour finding is awesome
grayscale = sheet.convert('L')
# Let numpy do the heavy lifting for converting pixels to pure black or white
data = np.asarray(grayscale).copy()
# Find the contours we need
contours = measure.find_contours(r_grey, 0.8)
# Now we put it back in PIL land
sprite = Image.fromarray(data)
sprite.save(str(Counter), "PNG")
I set upon an epic 5 hour journey to figure out to how solve the problem which is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "algo.py", line 4, in <module>
from skimage import measure
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scikit_image-0.9.3-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/skimage/measure/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
from ._regionprops import regionprops, perimeter
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scikit_image-0.9.3-py2.7-linux-i686.egg/skimage/measure/_regionprops.py", line 5, in <module>
from scipy import ndimage
ImportError: No module named scipy
So I figured I had to install SciPy. I began with
pip and
easy_install, couldn't get the thing to work. I downloaded both numpy and scipy tarballs and configured them, but scipy required libraries, which I had, just newer versions, but it didnt want them, even though I pointed them at it. Next thing I needed was gfortran, which I couldn't install because none of the libraries would work( there is a link of gfortran on linuxmint.community but you can't reach it because atpurl sais the package is virtual ). I tryed everything. Can you give me some help? All I want is SciPy to work.
Blas (http://www.netlib.org/blas/) libraries not found.
Directories to search for the libraries can be specified in the
numpy/distutils/site.cfg file (section [blas]) or by setting
the BLAS environment variable.

We have all had friends when we were young that had a tendency to tell a tale or two. I had one that was just an outright liar. It took until fourth grade for my friends and me to discover that he was living a life of surreal delusions; and oddly enough, it was a fish story that put the final nail in the coffin for him.
Like most kids growing up in Chicago our lives revolved around playing sports and supporting our teams: The Cubs, Bears, Blackhawks, and Bulls ─ in that order. After school, depending on the season, we were off to the nearest ball field or frozen pond with our spikes or skates to emulate our sports heroes. These parks and ponds were our Mecca: a place where we could fantasize about our lives as sports legends.
What Greg lacked in athletic ability, he made up for with prefabricated fables concerning our local heroes. The first fib happened in the middle of the winter during third grade. We were playing hockey in the Cook County forest preserve on our favorite frozen pond when Greg said, "Hey fellas, I don't want you to spread this around, but my father has invited Bobby Hull to come over for pasta and meatballs on Saturday night and you guys are welcome to come over and meet him. Just don't tell anyone else."
Bobby Hull! ─ We were flabbergasted. Bobby Hull of the Chicago Blackhawks was not only an icon in Chicago, but also a superhero. Most of us would rather meet Bobby Hull than have a Red Ryder BB gun. The gang was so excited that could barely concentrate in school the rest of the week and when Saturday morning came around we went out to the pond, played the dreaded Boston Bruins, and proceeded to pound them into the ice: now for the reward.
We all showed up at Greg's house wearing our red home game Blackhawk jerseys around five o'clock Saturday evening. "Bobby will be here about six, so why don't you guys grab a soda and I'm going to put in a package of these Jeno's frozen pizza rolls in the oven so that we have something to hold us over until he gets here." Greg's father worked for Jeno's frozen foods, and we all knew the pizza rolls were disgusting; but we indulged in order to calm our anxiety. We finished the pizza rolls and became thoroughly nauseated, but something else didn't smell right to me. "Where is your mother?" I asked Greg.
"She ran out to get some Italian sausage."
"How come the house doesn't smell like pasta cooking?" I asked. I had spent many Sunday afternoons having pasta and meatballs at Greg's house and when Mrs. C. cooked a batch of this stuff, you could smell it half way down the street.
"She already cooked it and froze it," Greg said. "Don't worry."
"Where is your Dad?" my friend Don asked.
"He went out to get the wine. You cannot eat pasta without wine," Greg said.
Six o'clock came around and there was no Mrs. C. or Mr. C; and more importantly, no Bobby Hull. "Don't worry," Greg said, "they probably had an accident." (All three of them?) When seven o'clock came around, we still had hope; but by ten o'clock we dejectedly decided to leave. "Can't figure out what happened," Greg said, as we walked out his front door into the subzero Chicago wind chill to go home.
We all let it pass but when summer came around and we went into the baseball mode, Greg once again piqued our interest by telling us the Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs was coming to his house for a barbeque on Saturday afternoon. "Ernie Banks!" I said. "You have got to be kidding me."
"No, I'm not kidding," Greg said. "Bring your mitts and bats for autographs."
Once again we all became so excited that we could barely sleep. When Saturday afternoon came around, we hoarded all of our baseball gear and headed to Greg's house. "What time is Ernie coming over?" Jeff asked.
"He will be here about three o'clock," Greg said.
"Where are your parents?" I asked.
"They went to get some charcoal and some beef patties at Jewel," Greg replied.
We sat and waited; and waited some more; and some more."
"It's six o'clock," Rich said, "Where's Ernie at?"
"Not sure," Greg said, "maybe that wrist injury he suffered last week sidelined him."
Eight o'clock came around and we all gathered our gear and headed home. "This is bullshit," Mark said, "First Bobby; now Ernie."
Football season soon approached and now all of our thoughts and activities revolved around the Chicago Bears. Every day after school we played football in the sandlot across the street from my house. "I'm Gale Sayers," Jeff said.
"That's good," I replied, "because I'm Dick Butkus and you're about to get flattened."
"Speaking of Gale Sayers, "Greg said, "We're having a hot dog roast at the house after the Packer game on Sunday and Gale Sayers will be there."
"You're full of shit," Jeff said, "The only person that is coming to your house on Sunday is Captain Kangaroo."
"You do what you want; the rest of you are invited," Greg said.
"Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice; shame on me; fool me thrice ─ and you're a mental," I said to myself. But what if he really shows up? "We better go fellas," I said to the gang.
After the Packers demolished the Bears Sunday afternoon, we all headed to Greg's house. This time we found Mr. C. lying in front of the television like a beached whale. Greg himself looked a little tepid, "What's up?" Mr. C.," I asked. "When is Gale coming over?"
"Gale who," he asked.
"Gale Sayers," I said.
"Son, you have quite the imagination: you should be a writer when you grow up."
We all looked at each other in astonishment.
"That's it," Rich said, "F… him: he's full of shit."
We gathered our stuff and left. "No more fellas ─ never again," I said.
Greg had pulled the wool over our eyes for the last time, but we all still remained friends. I would still occasionally stay overnight by his house to watch a late night Cubs or Hawks game taking place on the west coast, and the fictional sports fairy tales seemed to come to an end; or so I thought. He soon unveiled a new angle that caught me by surprise.
After getting permission from my parents to stay overnight by Greg's house to watch a late night Cubs game, I walked down the block and knocked on his front door.
"What's up pal?" Greg asked me as I entered. "I know you love fishing, and do I ever have a surprise for you."
"Really; let me guess," I said. "Curt Gowdy is here and we are going to tape an episode of the 'American Sportsman' while fishing for blue marlin in your plastic pool."
"You're close, my friend: follow me."
I followed Greg downstairs where he appeared to have something covered with a towel. He grabbed the towel and pulled it off the object as if he were performing a magic trick. "Guess what that is?" he proudly asked.
"Looks to me like a fish bowl with two itty-bitty fish in it," I said.
"You're wrong: those are two killer sharks that my father bought for me; and if you were dumb enough to stick your finger in there, those things would rip it off."
"No, they're really not killer sharks, you friggin' dope: they're actually two gold fish that eat nothing but fish food," I said.
"Watch this," he said. He took a pencil that had a piece of monofilament fishing tackle attached to one end of it and then tied a small hook to the bottom of the line. "This is my fishing pole," he said. "I'm going to take a piece of this sausage-filled Jeno pizza roll and use it for bait." He dropped the pizza roll into the fish bowl and waited for a bite.
"I'm not quite sure if a fish can be stupid as you are, my mentally challenged friend; but they sure are doing a good imitation," I said, as I glanced at the stupefied goldfish.
After ten minutes, I had enough. "You're losing it man," I said, "let's go outside and shoot some hoops before the game starts." We went out, played a little basketball, and then came in to watch the game. During the seventh inning stretch I went to the bathroom and checked on Greg's miniature fishing rig to see if he had gotten a strike: nothing going. When the game was over we went to sleep, but not before I snuck downstairs and put the five remaining pizza rolls in the fish bowl. "We'll see if these little suckers are sharks," I said to myself. "I'm sure if they are, they will get hungry during the night like all killer sharks do."
The next morning when we got out of bed, Greg went to check on his carnivorous goldfish and found a couple of floaters ─ the apparent result of a Jeno pizza roll overdose. "I think they ate too much," Greg said.
"Yeah, I can see that," I said.
The poor guy didn't know it, but his delusions had crossed the thin line from the "Wide World of Sports," to "The American Sportsman."

Emergent Games' board game Kickstarter, Fireteam Zero, is down to its final hours with over $170,000, well past its $50,000 goal. I sat down with Mike Langlois, co-founder of Emergent Games, and author of the Emergent Earth books Bad Radio and Liar's Harvest on which the game is based.
Michael Tresca (MT): Tell us about your Kickstarter.
Mike Langlois (ML): Fireteam Zero is a cooperative game for up to four players who must cut a path through an endless swarm of deadly monsters in order to discover and defeat the ultimate evil behind them. Each player possesses a set of brutal combat skills that are represented by a deck of cards unique to that character. Play cards to devastate the creatures in your way, help your teammates survive the onslaught, or even reshape the tactical landscape with the proper application of explosive ordnance. Each player will become a member of Fireteam Zero and commit acts of badassery against different families of monsters while trying to capture or destroy the arcane artifacts that are creating them. The Kickstarter features a core set, two expansions, and tons of unique monsters, mission packs, and more.
MT: Tell us about your gaming background.
ML: We might be a bit obsessive about board gaming :) We all have regular gaming groups and the majority of our friends are also board gamers. I think Christian is one up on Gary and I, though, since he has several award-winning games under his belt before FTZ and even attends conventions out of the country every year. It was our search for great gaming experiences that got us thinking seriously about joining forces and making our own games.
MT: Tell us about your company.
ML: Emergent Games is myself, Gary Simpson, and Christian Leonhard. We all have a hand in every facet of FTZ, but Gary has primary responsibility for art direction, Christian is the lead designer, and I have the theme/story elements and whatever wordsmithing needs to be done. Honestly, I feel very lucky to be working with such talented guys. I know everyone says that, but I don't know anyone else who could have done such a smart job making a game this big.
MT: Have you Kickstarted any other products in the past?
ML: This is our first, but it certainly won't be our last!
MT: How has Kickstarter changed or influenced your business model?
ML: Before Kickstarter, we would have had only the option to try and get picked up by a publisher. While that model works great, you do give up some control over your project and your potential rewards for years of hard work might not be what you hoped for. One of the most important things about using Kickstarter to create a game is that you can work directly with gamers before production.
For example, the community overwhelmingly voted for a set of female hero variants. Without Kickstarter, we wouldn't have heard that request until the game had already been manufactured, at which time it would have been too late. Now, we not only have a full team of female heroes, but we included one for free in the core set as a thank you for the suggestion.
MT: Why should backers contribute to your Kickstarter? What sets it apart?
ML: A couple of things. First of all, we didn't set out to make a miniatures game because they are popular. We started work on FTZ because we had a system that we were incredibly excited by, and that we thought could help advance the state of the art for tactical theme games. We felt there was a gap between games that had great theme, but simplistic gameplay, and games that were simply too complex to keep that fast-paced sense of excitement that we were looking for. In short, FTZ was born out of a desire for amazing gameplay, not as a framework used to sell miniatures :)
That said, once we had the game in place, we wanted to amp up the theme as much as possible so we turned to Chris Deavellar to bring the Emergent Earth universe to life in the miniatures. Chris is an amazing guy and the amount of creativity and thought he puts into each figure is insane. With the miniatures, the strong thematic elements and prose, and the next-gen gameplay, we couldn't be more proud of how FTZ turned out.
MT: Other Kickstarters have steadfastly refused to offer a miniatures only support level even though many backers asked for it -- and it seems that miniatures (not the game itself) often drive a Kickstarter. What made you decide to provide a miniatures-only version of the game?
ML: We've tried very hard to listen to the community on this Kickstarter, especially when we get a lot of requests for the same thing. The first big wave of requests was for female hero variants, which was a great idea and one we should have thought of ourselves, and the next was to provide the minis for collectors. Honestly, we were already creating the minis for the game, so there was no real reason to withhold them from our backers. We're not so much launching a game as a game company, and if we can fill a need for gamers while still being profitable and financially responsible, then we'll do our best to make it happen.
MT: What's next for your company?
ML: Fireteam Zero is only the start for us. Not only will FTZ continue to grow with new expansions and tie-in products, like a possible pen & paper RPG and community created content using our open source modding kit, but we also have more games in the development pipeline that we are equally excited about. We intend to build the trust of the gaming community by keeping the focus on the gameplay experience first, then creating mind-blowing components to go along with it. Board gaming as come a long way since we first started playing and we want to be part of pushing the limits of what people can expect from the hobby.
MT: Where can we find out more about your company online?
ML: Come see us at emergent-games.com once the Kickstarter is over. Right now the site is a bit new and sparse, but as we wrap up the Kickstarter, we'll start 'moving in' and create our full-blown home on the internet with resources, forums, and even an online store.
MT: Anything else you'd like to share?
ML: Just that we are humbled by the amazing outpouring of support from the community around our first kickstarter. The number of thoughtful, sincere comments and just general camaraderie and good humor was and is astounding to us. It's been a fantastic experience.

Western tribes are energy rich but income poor. The lesson from past takings and from present battles to deprive tribes of their resource wealth is clear—it is time to reform tribal institutions in this post-colonial era.

University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry has hired leading real estate services and investment firm Grubb & Ellis Company (NYSE:GBE) to perform real estate consulting services as part of the school's feasibility study focused on the future of its facilities.
Grubb & Ellis' San Francisco team, headed by Daniel Cressman, will provide local market research, inventory analysis, asset evaluation of school facilities, brokerage and other services to be used by the school as it evaluates options for new facilities. The dental school currently owns and occupies more than 320,000 square feet of real estate in two buildings in San Francisco. The school occupies approximately 202,000 square feet of space at 2155 Webster Street, which is used for classrooms and offices, and 119,000 square feet of space at 2130 Post Street, which is dedicated to student housing.
As part of a comprehensive study to help chart its future in the Bay Area, the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry is in the midst of a pre-design space planning and facility programming project led by interdisciplinary design firm, Kahler Slater. The project is addressing the school's current and anticipated needs, including flexible learning environments, dental clinics, community and event space, student housing and other areas. The study involves gathering input from a wide range of students, faculty, staff, patients, administrators and other members of the school community. The feasibility project will assist University of the Pacific as it works with Grubb & Ellis in evaluating possible sites for the dental school's location and construction.

The Changing Racial Dynamics of the War on Drugs
The Changing Racial Dynamics of the War on Drugs. The Sentencing Project has just released a report (pdf) finding that, for the first time in 20 years, the number of Black Americans in state prison for drug offenses has fallen. Between 1999 and 2005, the number of White drug offenders in state prisons rose about 43 percent, while the number of Black offenders declined by 22 percent. One cause may be a rise in the use of drug courts, which are locally administered programs that divert offenders into treatment rather than incarceration. The Sentencing Project has a recent report (pdf) on this issue as well.

According to www.divinggrandprixgatineau.com, Canadian Olympic bronze medalist Jennifer Abel won a gold medal at the FINA World Cup diving competition in Gatineau, Quebec on Sunday. Abel, who teamed with Pamela Ware of Greenfield Park, Quebec posted a score of 322.71 points to win the women's 3m synchronized diving springboard competition.
Abel and Ware were 17.01 points better than Chunting Wu and Quling Zheng of China. Even though Wu and Zheng do not have a strong track record in international diving, the gold medal for Abel and Ware should be a huge boost going forward for them in their athletic careers knowing that they defeated divers from a very strong diving nation in China. The American duo of Maren Taylor and Deidre Freeman won the bronze medal with a score of 286.80 points.
Abel now has Ware as her synchronized diving partner after she won a bronze medal with Emile Heymans of St. Lambert, Quebec in the women's 3m synchronized springboard competition at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Heymans has since retired from diving.
Abel and Ware's greatest accomplishment to date are winning the bronze medal in the women's 3m synchronized springboard competition at the 2013 World Aquatics Championships in Barcelona, Spain. Ware also came home with a bronze medal in the women's 3m individual springboard diving competition.
Overall, Canada came away with five medals from the competition in Gatineau. Abel also won a silver medal in the women's 3m springboard, while Olympic bronze medalists Rosaline Filion of Laval, Quebec and Meghan Benefito of Montreal won two medals each. Filion and Benefito won a silver medal in the synchronized platform, while Filion and Benefito won a silver and bronze respectively in the women's platform.
At the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Canada is once again expected to send an experienced diving team. It will be interesting to see how much momentum Ware, Abel, Filion and Benefito are able to generate from their positive results in Gatineau, Quebec this weekend.

Being significantly overweight or obese has high physical and financial costs – especially if you have arthritis. Extra pounds put pressure on joints and increases inflammation.
It also boosts the risk of diabetes and heart disease, two conditions commonly linked with arthritis. In fact, it even increases the risk of developing arthritis in the first place.
Weighing 50 to 100 more pounds than you should is also staggeringly expensive, says Jeff Helton, PhD, assistant professor of Health Care Management at Metropolitan State University of Denver.
The Big-picture Economic Costs
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, in 2008 the national medical care costs related to obesity (having a body mass index of 30 and more) were $147 billion. If obesity, now classified as a disease by the American Medical Association, remains unchecked, costs could rise an additional $48 to $66 billion by 2030.
"A lot of the costs are associated with the conditions that come along with obesity like osteoarthritis, diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease," says Helton.
The Direct Costs
There are also high direct costs to the overweight person with arthritis. For instance, obesity can lead to more painful joints – which requires more treatment, from medications to joint replacement. And that's if an obese person can get a surgeon to agree to do the joint replacement.
"Many orthopedic specialists are reluctant to operate on patients with a BMI more than 35; the complication rate and risk of the replacement not lasting are major concerns," says Mitchell Roslin, MD, Chief of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery, Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
Obesity also raises life insurance and worker's compensation premiums. "A person who has arthritis and is obese may be unsteady in gait and have a work-related injury as a result. That drives up premiums," says Helton.
Individually, a person who is obese can expect to pay about $1,400 to $1,500 more per year for health care than someone of normal weight, says Helton.
The Indirect Costs
"Some of the biggest are lost income and productivity. Obesity drives absenteeism. And obese people may be at work but struggling," says Helton. "For instance, fatigue may cause someone to tune out in a quasi-sleep state." And if a job requires a lot of physical activity, an obese person won't be able to handle that as well as someone who is slim, he says.
If the high cost to your wallet and joints hasn't yet convinced you to take action, this might: People who are very overweight have shorter-than-normal lifespans. "They may die 20 to 25 years earlier than they might if they were healthy," says Helton.
How to Start Losing Weight
So where do you start on your journey to losing significant weight loss? Start with your doctor. He may help you find a diet and exercise program that's right for you, or recommend (in addition to diet and exercise) bariatric surgery or diet medications. But until you can get an appointment – start moving more and eating less (or at least less of the unhealthy stuff). You can't afford to wait.

Most adults have some type of stress in their lives and it is no surprise when we hear about adults going through stressful situations, but it does come as more of a surprise when we hear that a child is dealing with stress.
I believe that most adults think of a child as a having a carefree lifestyle and having no worries in the world; however that belief is farthest from the truth. Many kids are dealing with stress on a daily basis and learning how as a parent to help your child deal with stress and anxiety is imperative for a child's emotional well-being.
Here are five ways to help your child deal with stress and anxiety:
Listen to your child
Try and find out what is causing your child's stress and then listen intently to what your child is saying. It is not a time to pass judgment on your child but instead to just listen and let your child know that you are concerned about his or her well-being and that he or she is being heard with an open ear and heart.
Brainstorm together to solve the problem
After finding out what is causing your child's stress, brainstorm with your child how the problems or issues can be resolved so that the stress can be eliminated. Try to come up with multiple solutions so that your child has a variety of routes to take to solve the problem.
Minimize the stress
Try to help your child minimize the stress in their lives by removing the things that are causing the stress. If your child is in multiple sports or activities and it is causing stress in your child's life, have your child just do one sport or activity.
Be patient
Your child's stress may be something that your child just needs to work through, so being supportive and patient is sometimes the best thing you can do for your child while he or she is figuring out on how to deal with their stress and anxiety. Keep in mind that as a parent, you may not be able to solve all of your child's problems but patience from a parent can be a reassuring component for a child.
Understand feelings and emotions
Helping your child understand the feelings and emotions they are experiencing when they are stressed will aid your child in dealing with stress. Sometimes not understanding one's own feeling is scarier than dealing with the stress itself. Many kids do not understand the idea of stress and why they are feeling it, so teaching a child what they are feeling and experiencing is a good start in understanding on how to deal with stress.

270sniper, Tankhead.
A couple of awesome looking firearms! :hand10:
I have been carrying a S&W 638CT; but recently acquired a Kahr PM9.
If the situation calls for it, I can shoot the 638 SA with the CT with a good degree of accuracy at a distance, and it will still function great in DA.
I cannot understand why folks carry the completely hammerless guns and restrict themselves to DA only when (if time permits) the SA mode offers more accuracy especially in the snubby.
I plan on putting a CT on the PM9 and hope to get as accurate with it as with the 638. I see some practice time in my future; but the PM does offer one more round and much faster reload than does the revolver.
I recently received my CCDW and just purchased my first handgun. I own a 1911 Springfield EMP .9mm. I fell in love with it after taking a CCDW class taught by Keeping the Piece in Cental Kentucky.
I currently belong to a Woman's shooting club hosted by keeping the piece (See member: KeepingPiece) which teaches basic defensive skills. It's gone a long way with making me feel comfortable handling my gun and preparing me should I ever need it to defend myself.
Mission1, congratulations on your first handgun, on carrying it and on taking the course as well!! Mega kudos to you on that. An excellent choice of a carry handgun. And welcome to the forum!!
i carry CZ75 9mm.... and Walther PK22 as backup
was carrying Sigma 9ve and sold it then got a new SP2022, also SP101 for backup.
Most days Pt145 in TTgunleather IWB or OWB.
I want one of those knives jbum. Those are nice.
probably pretty common carry...
xd sc, in 40 s/w.....
I have other various pistols, semi-auto's and wheel guns, but I am really happy with my sc xd...
The xd has been very reliable and very accurate for me..
Currently carrying a Kimer Ultra carry II.
Looking for a better IWB holster then the one I am using now.
I carry a Kimber Ultra Carry II with the Crimson trace laser also. Talk to Mark at Crossbreed and get yourself a Crossbreed Supertuck horse hide holster. It blocks the mosture so you gun does not sweat during the summer. Mark will also take great care of you if you have any problems at all. Very fast service and he will keep you happyl
I carry an AMT Backup .45 DAO. And I'm very proud of it!!!!! :smile:

On April 7, the Organic Consumers Organization released an urgent request to the U.S. regulatory agencies to ban the use of glyphosate due to a new study which showed the pesticide was present in breast milk. The agencies include the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Glyphosate is the herbicide used in commercial crops and is the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup product.
According to Mercola, when glyphosate is used in large quantities, it limits the body's ability to detoxify chemicals. The inability to detoxify chemicals may result in brain disorders that can affect behaviors such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children.
The new (pilot) study found glyphosate levels high in 3 of the 10 the samples tested. It is postulated the glyphosate in the women's bodies accrued over time and may be transferred in large amounts to infants.
This is the first study to examine the levels of glyphosates in breast milk. Additionally, there are no regulatory limits on the amount of glyphosates in breast milk.

The Izborsk Club, a group of influential Russian military and intellectual strategists, warns that the United States is stoking a crisis in the East.
And it's no Olympic game in Sochi.
"The situation is approaching … a hotbed of instability and chaos on Russia's borders. This represents a civilizational aggression by the West, headed by the United States, against Russia," Izborsk declared last week.
Noting the ongoing unrest in Ukraine, Izborsk sees a half-dozen threats to Russia:
1. "Rejection of the presence of the Russian Armed Forces in Crimea, including at Sevastopol as the base of the Russian Federation's Black Sea Fleet."
2. "Expanded partnership of Ukraine with NATO and the appearance of U.S. and NATO bases in Ukraine, including Crimea."
3. "Purges of pro-Russian forces in ... Ukraine, leading to a flood of refugees into the Russian Federation."
4. "Annihilation of manufacturing capacities ... which do contract work for the Russian military-industrial complex."
5. "Establishment in eastern Ukraine of bases for training terrorists, who will begin to operate both in the Caucasus and in the Volga Basin, and possibly also Siberia."
6. "Extension of 'Euromaidan' techniques into major Russian cities, especially in ethnically defined constituent
territories of the Russian Federation."
Matthew Ogden, of the U.S. political group, LaRouche PAC, reports that Izborsk urges a conference to ensure the sovereignty of Ukraine. The parties would include Russia, Ukraine, Great Britain and the United States.
Ogden added, "They say in the event of refusal of one of the parties to take part in such a conference, Russia should enter into direct talks with Washington … as a way of bilaterally resolving the strategic crisis in Ukraine, and avoiding the outbreak of war."
Paul Craig Roberts, writing in Foreign Policy Journal, doubts that the U.S. can be an honest broker.
"Insouciant Americans are paying no attention and have no idea that a handful of neoconservative ideologues are pushing the world toward destruction," Roberts wrote last week.
Americans are, however, treated to daily media diatribes – big and small – against Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin.
Taking decades-old Cold War rhetoric out of the freezer, Western jingo journalists criticize Moscow for failing to promote human rights (especially gay rights) while crooked politicians bloviate about the wonders of Western-style "democracy." (No doubt, they're big Pussy Riot fans.)
In response, leaders of Russia's revivified Orthodox Church assail the secular West for waging war on Christianity and supplanting traditional moral codes with Godless pluralism. (This isn't your father's USSR, comrade.)
Ogden says U.S. and Russian cooperation is crucial to global peace.
"It was called to my attention that right after World War II, Marshal Zhukov, who was the Hero of Stalingrad, said to General Eisenhower that 'If the United States and Russia would only stand together through thick and thin, if we are partners, there are no other countries in the world that would dare to go to war when we forbade it.'"

London house prices boom to record high - Rightmove
10:43 17 March 2014
2013 Getty Images
Property asking prices in London have risen to a record high of £552,530, according to Rightmove.
The figure, an average for prices across the capital, is £8,298 above London's previous high reached last October.
Across England and Wales as a whole, sellers' asking prices are now 6.8 per cent or £16,251 higher than they were a year ago and in London they have seen annual growth of 11.3 per cent, according to the real estate website, whose records go back to 2002.
Miles Shipside, director of Rightmove, said: "With prices on the up and set to increase more, there is a greater sense of urgency among buyers."
Rightmove is also seeing evidence that house price growth in London is no longer being driven by the wealthy "prime central" boroughs.
London's worst-performing borough in March was named as Kensington and Chelsea, where asking prices had dropped by 2.4 per cent on the previous month.
But the average price tag for a home in the borough was still £2.1million.
The capital's best-performing borough was found to be Haringey, where prices had surged by 9.5 per cent month-on-month to reach £597,634 typically.
Westminster and Camden, where average asking prices were above £1million, were also among Rightmove's worst-performing areas in London in March, while Barnet and Hounslow, where prices were around £600,000-plus, were among the best.

A federal judge in Ohio ruled that the state must recognize same-sex marriages that were performed in other states.
According to the Columbus Dispatch on April 15, U.S. District Judge Timothy S. Black's ruling will open the door for same-sex couples who move to Ohio to receive the same benefits that they received in their home state, such as bereavement leave, taxes and survivor benefits.
In his official opinion, Black stated:
"Ohio's marriage recognition is facially unconstitutional and unforceable under any circumstances."
The ruling does not legalize same-sex marriage in Ohio -- voters in 2004 approved the ban -- which still stands for now. The ruling only states that if a same-sex marriage couple were married in a state that allows it, than the state of Ohio must recognized those as valid marriages and provide the same benefits as heterosexual couples.
The judge immediately issued a temporary stay on his decision to give attorneys on both sides to file legal briefs. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine told the Dispatch that he will appeal the decision.
Stay tuned.

CDC: Flu Season Hits Early and Could Be a Bad Year »
"Dec. 3, 2012 -- The U.S. flu season is here -- the earliest start since the "moderately severe" season of 2003.

Hydrocodone is a semisynthetic opioid antitussive and analgesic with multiple actions qualitatively similar to those of codeine. The precise mechanism of action of hydrocodone and other opiates is not known; however, hydrocodone is believed to act directly on the cough center. In excessive doses, hydrocodone, like other opium derivatives, will depress respiration. The effects of hydrocodone in therapeutic doses on the cardiovascular system are insignificant. Hydrocodone can produce miosis, euphoria, physical and physiological dependence.
Following a 10 mg oral dose of hydrocodone administered to five adult male subjects, the mean peak concentration was 23.6 ± 5.2 ng/mL. Maximum serum levels were achieved at 1.3 ± 0.3 hours and the half-life was determined to be 3.8 ± 0.3 hours. Hydrocodone exhibits a complex pattern of metabolism including O-demethylation, N-demethylation and 6-keto reduction to the corresponding 6-α and 6-β-hydroxymetabolites.

Anna Karenina
by Leo Tolstoy
Anna Karenina Part 6, Chapter 3 Summary
- Kitty tells Levin about the womanly gossip, and then asks his opinion on the Koznyshev/Varenka match.
- Levin reminds Kitty that Koznyshev was in love with a girl who died, and then argues that having thrown himself into the spiritual life, nothing will recall Koznyshev to reality, not even Varenka.
- The two of them converse in such a way that it's clear that they're a couple that has had many conversations. Kitty and Levin can leave certain things unspoken and yet understand one another perfectly.
- Levin points out the Koznyshev is not as close to Kitty as Nicholas was.
- Levin doesn't think that Koznyshev can fall in love, and expresses envy for the fact that duty comes before anything else for Koznyshev.
- They chat for a bit about society and the common good, and then Kitty hands Levin a flower and tells him to count off he'll propose, he won't propose. The experiment goes awry because Kitty and Levin disagree over counting a little petal as a full petal.
- Kitty's mother draws up next to them in the carriage, but they decide to continue on foot.
