March 2008, Shapeshifter Romance
Berkley Sensation, $7.99, 336 pages, Amazon ASIN 0425220354
There are two reviews of this book
The woman turns out to be the Empress Zarifa, who is fleeing her fiancé Gerik, the regents son. Rance is enraged at her deception and as a Freeworlder, he holds her in contempt since all he knows about her is what he has seen on the news where she has been portrayed as a sort of interstellar Paris Hilton only more vacuous. But Zarifa is nothing like her media image and she needs Rances protection from Geriks goons.
I would love to see this story expanded into a full length novel. The
background is intriguing, the characters are likable and the sex is
hot (especially one scene in zero gravity).
Grade: B+
Natalie Ricci is a teacher. After divorcing her controlling husband Mike, she needs a total change of pace and applies to teach at the Breed Sanctuary. To her delight, she gets the job. The Breeds send a guard for her, a jaguar/Cajun named Saban Broussard and it doesnt take too long for him to try and seduce her.
Saban knows that Natalie is his mate (his Breed senses tell him so), and at first he tries to woo her with human techniques he learned from books. That doesnt work. So he kisses her and gives her a dose of breed hormones that make her hot for him. Natalie is not happy with this she has been under the thumb of a controlling husband and now shes been forced to fall in love.
Most of the story can be summed up like this: Argue, argue, argue. Boink, boink, boink. Argue, argue, argue. Boink, boink, boink. (Repeat this several times). BIG argument, shootout, BIG boink. I love you, The End.
Usually in short stories, I want more. This is one I wanted to be shorter, or at least have more story and less boinking. Also, there was one very annoying word in the story. Saban is a Cajun and often calls Natalie by the endearment "boo". Yes, that is a term of affection in Cajun French, but I kept thinking of the little girl from the movie Monsters Inc..
Grade: C-
Meanwhile, in Atlantis(!), we get a huge infodump that left me totally lost. As near as I can figure it out, Marie, an Atlantian princess, wants to visit her brother Bastien, who married Kat, a member of Ethans pride. So using her handy dandy Atlantean portal, she does and encounters Ethan who comes on to her more like a hound than a cat.
Well, soon enough we find out who is behind the murders of Ethans pride and it ends up in a spectacular cat fight. Then ocean girl ends up as a Shifters Lady.
I was really lost during large parts of this story. I think I needed to read Days earlier book to figure out who was who and what happened before. The premise is interesting, but I was at sea. Grade: C
I liked this story, but I couldn't help but cringe at how Griffin
manipulated Emma to come to the selkie's island. He caused the ship she was on to wreck. Yes, there was a convenient rescue ship right near by and none of the passengers were killed, but still this was a very drastic way to get Emma to the school. At first he is high-handed in his treatment of her, Griffin learns how to control himself when he realizes Emma's terrible past...and the ending is so sweet. Grade: C+

It's not very often that much can be learned from celebrity relationships that can actually translate into real world relationships. And usually, when that does happen, what we learn are cautionary tales. What's usually learned is what not to try in an average, everyday life situation.
When you consider the superficiality of the vast majority of celebrity relationships, it's the last place on earth that anyone should look to as a model of stability. Many of them are based on who the people are, not who they are (if you can follow that).
So when we have situations like the two we've seen over the last few weeks with the Gabrielle Union/Dwayne Wade connection and the unbearable Kanye West/Kim Kardashian, while it would seem that nothing can be gained from any of this, there are some Relationship 101 things that can be reaffirmed.
Let's do a little background for those unaware. Here we have Kim Kardashian, a woman that knows that her man Kanye has some temper issues. After being verbally assaulted (which is common for celebrities and par for the course), she's calling him up like she's in high school and telling him that someone is calling her names. Granted, according to reports, those names were vile and offensive, but they are just names. If Kim knows that what was said about her isn't true, not only should she have kept walking, but she should never, ever call her angry boo, a man that loses his mind at the drop of a hat.
As a side note, this all seems hypocritical. How can Kim be so offended at the word that was used when she plans to marry a man that's used this word in his music over and over again throughout his career? When it disappears from his music, then we can take her civil rights movement seriously. To take that a step further, think of all the horrible things that have been said about Kim in her life, some of which can be validated, let's be honest. Rather than get offended, she turned them all into profit, sex tapes and fake weddings. Does Kanye plan to punch all of these people in the face? But, I digress.
As for Ms. Union, here's a woman who, according to her, took a break from her relationship with Dwayne Wade. During break time, he impregnated another woman. From a distance, this seems to be poor judgment on his part. If he really wanted to hold on to Gabrielle, I don't understand the unprotected sex. The chance of bringing a child or even disease back to the relationship comes into play for most of us that have studied biology.
If they were on a break, other women are his prerogative. But what becomes alarming is the fact that she takes the blame for him getting someone else pregnant. She says it's her fault for not being as available and as sexually adventurous as Wade would like. It seems that if you want to forgive, if you want to look the other way or if you want to hold on to what you have, despite what happened during the break, then more power to you. But the silliest thing to do is to take the blame for what someone else did with their body. Forgiveness is hers to give as she pleases, but the responsibility for the act is all his.
With that said, here are three things that good women can add to good men to make a great relationship. In a way, it is addition by subtraction. In these celebrity situations, these women provide a valuable lesson to the average everyday person. A woman's role in a relationship isn't always just about what she brings to the man. It's also about what she's willing to protect him from: Himself.
Stabilize, not sabotage – Most good men that are looking to settle down are looking for stability. If they're really and truly trying to be a one woman man, they're tired of the ups and downs of dating. They're hard working and they've learned that true happiness is completed with the right woman.
That woman must be there to compliment him. She mustn't look at the man as a meal ticket or a means to get paid. If that man is looking to be successful, that woman should be looking to be an asset to his success, not another hurdle. She should be looking to lift him up, not weigh him down.
Truth be told, most men these days are looking for women that can feed as well as be fed. In other words, they're looking for the same stability that women have looked chased for years. A woman must be looking to stabilize a man's life, not take advantage or add undue stress.
Which leads to our next point…
Be his peace, not his agitator – Men are naturally aggressors. Women should not play on such things. It's nice to know that you have a man that will defend your honor, but women shouldn't use that emotion in a foolish way.
Look at this Kim/Kanye fiasco. Why call your man and fuel his ever present anger over name calling? Why allow your man to assault someone in your honor because you were made to feel uncomfortable? This is a woman that doesn't value the peace of her man. That form of a man's aggression is only necessary when you're facing real, physical danger. When the weight of the world is on a man's shoulders, he doesn't want a woman that will add the moon on top of that. A man needs a woman that will bring him peace in a world full of chaos.
Hold him accountable – This is something that most men don't realize they need until they've had it and lost it. The worst thing a man can have in his life is a woman that makes excuses for him. Doing so almost guarantees that he will cheat on her or take her for granted in some other way. If he screws up, let him know. It doesn't mean the relationship has to end, but helping him lie is just a mistake.
All successful and married men have a woman that pushes them, supports them and gets angry with them when she has to. Does that mean that the men never screw up? Does that mean the men never make mistakes? Does that mean that she's not forgiving? No to all of those questions.
However, in the midst of all of that, a good woman will hold you down and hold you accountable. She never gets the two confused, nor does she allow her man to. She keeps him reminded that she has value and if he continuously takes her for granted, there are consequences.

How do you make the unity dash background darker like in natty? Blur effect is too laggy and without the blur, it becomes confusing.
You should try the static blur option, it's set the first time you use the dash in a session for the life of the session, may be less of a performance issue.
If you wish it to look a bit like the no blur used to be, (for all of a couple of wk's) then open the dash over a full screen dark solid color like dark blue or black
Edit: A small workaround till no blur becomes useful & if your current background isn't what you'd like
create a solid color .html - this is for black, a very dark blue works well
Then at session start open the .html in firefox & go
tap the Super button to open dash, tap again to close

Then came the weekend no one was around and my daughter was back at college. Would I give up the opportunity to sit on my porch and watch the swans glide across the bay as the sun went down? I decided to risk sleeping in the house on my own, and although I did keep the reading lamp on all night, lo and behold, I emerged the next morning safe and sound. The curious thing is that once you start taking risks, a momentum begins to build, and the idea of stepping out where you haven't been before assumes a pleasurable rather than merely frightening aspect. Do I see driving lessons in my future?

Hawthorn will begin the 2008 AFL season with an even younger look after another of the club's veterans, Joel Smith, announced his retirement.
Smith, 30, who played 221 games across 13 seasons with Hawthorn and St Kilda, said the time was right to bow out as he was confident the Hawks had a prosperous future with their young stars.
"Retirement is one of the biggest decisions you can make, one that can't be taken lightly and I thought the time was right and it's time to move on," he told the club's website.
Smith's departure, following the retirements of captain Richie Vandenberg, 30, after the semi-final loss to the Kangaroos and Ben Dixon, 30, last week means the Hawks will take on an even younger look than they did this season.
The Hawks began 2007 with statistically the youngest playing list in the competition, with an average age per player of 22 years, three months.
But the trio's departure leaves Brownlow medallist Shane Crawford, 33, as the only player on the club's list born before 1980.
Smith began his career with the Saints in 1995 and established himself as a goal kicking half-forward, but suffered a serious knee injury before the 1997 finals campaign and spent all of the following season on the sidelines.
He was traded to Hawthorn while injured and upon his return made his mark as a running half-back.
Smith won the Hawks' best and fairest award in 2001 and was twice awarded All-Australian honours.
He rated playing in two finals campaigns with the Hawks, in 2001 and this season, as the highlights of his career.
Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson said Smith had provided his club a valuable and versatile footballer who could play on both small or tall opponents.
"Joel has been a tremendous contributor to the club," Clarkson said.
"He has been a strong role model for young men who want to battle to make it in football.
"He has played a significant part in getting this club back to competing in September and we wish him well with all of his future endeavours."
Smith thanked Hawthorn for their support throughout his career.
"Hawthorn took a punt on me 10 years ago when I had that train wreck of a knee and missed 20 months of footy," he said.
"I am forever grateful for that."

What makes a place special? I do not think the answer is in words alone. It is in a journey in which a place reveals itself in ways that are difficult to put in words. The six sequences of photographs in this book are about my journey into a place called 'Silo City', a collection of about ten, mostly unused, silos along a one-mile stretch of the Buffalo River.

Jalen Pendleton scored a career-high 17 points to lead SIU.
Feb. 9, 2013
By Tom Weber
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - Indiana State survived a scare in their quest to build an infallible NCAA Tournament resume, as Jake Odum banked home the game-winning shot with 18 seconds remaining for a 66-65 win over last-place Southern Illinois.
The Sycamores (16-8, 9-4) trailed most of the game and by as many as 12 points before staging a late comeback. Despite wins over highly regarded Miami, Mississippi and Creighton, ISU's tournament hopes may not have been able to survive a second loss to the Salukis (9-15, 2-11).
Trailing by one point with 35 seconds remaining, ISU put the ball in the hands of savvy veteran Jake Odum -- a do-everything junior point guard, who finished the game with 13 points, five assists, two blocks and four steals.
Odum blew by Saluki defender Anthony Beane into the paint and split two more defenders to get a clear look at the basket from five feet away.
"Everybody here, including Southern Illinois, knew he was going to make a play for himself or for one of his teammates," said Indiana State head coach Greg Lansing, whose team is second in the Missouri Valley Conference standings. "I thought he was going to have to give up, but he made a great play. He's a winning player."
SIU head coach Barry Hinson said he regretted trying to defend Odum man-to-man on the crucial possession.
"I decided to go man instead of zone, and that's probably on me -- I'm accountable," said Hinson. "We knew Jake was going to shoot the ball, we just said give strong help. We didn't do a very good job of helping. Big players make big plays."
The victory was still tantalizingly close for Southern, and only a handful of late miscues prevented it from following up last Tuesday's shocking upset over Wichita State with another stunner.
On the final possession, Southern spread the floor for leading scorer Desmar Jackson. He was trapped near midcourt and lost the ball with six seconds on the clock. Freshman teammate Jalen Pendleton plucked the ball out of mid-air, drove baseline and his 12-foot jumper at the buzzer caught the back of the rim.
"I thought the play (Jalen) made at the end was pretty good," Hinson said. "He had the gumption to go down there and make a play. He's just not very athletic. He can't jump up -- the guy could have blocked it without jumping."
Hinson was more upset over the no-call when Jackson lost the ball, asking the media, "do you remember the play where Dez gets pummeled at half court?"
Southern had excellent starts to both halves, as Jackson scored nine points to give his team a 15-3 lead after the opening tip, while Pendleton scored six-straight to jumpstart a 9-2 run to begin the second half.
"Sometimes, guys aren't going to be as locked in as they need to be and play as well as they should," said Lansing, regarding his team's slow start. "You can't play any better than we did against Creighton (on Wednesday)."
The Salukis had four players score in double figures, led by Pendleton's career-high 17 points. At 6-foot-2, he played forward and was a defensive mismatch for the taller, slower Indiana State front-court. He played a career-high 24 minutes, while starter Jeff Early was limited to eight minutes and was noticeably limping.
One of the key turning points of the second half came after a Dantiel Daniels dunk with 5:48 remaining gave the Salukis a 55-49 lead. ISU immediately answered with a four-point play by RJ Mahurin, who was hacked by Daniels. Mahurin made 5-of-7 shots from 3-point and recorded 16 points and three blocks on the day.
Later, the teams traded 3-point baskets with Kendal Brown-Surles hitting a trey that put Southern up, 62-59, with 2:38 to go, and Mahurin countering with a bomb from the left corner on ISU's next possession.
After losing on the road to Illinois State by 36 points seven days ago, SIU has played its best week of basketball in the conference season, beating No. 22 Wichita State and taking Indiana State to the wire.
"I don't think we're as bad as what everybody thinks we are," Hinson said. "Now, there's a little bit of fear factor when you play us."
The Salukis have lost 14-straight conference road games -- one shy of the school record set between 1982 and 1984 -- but Hinson is pleased with his team's recent play. Today, Daniels came out of a slump with 12 points, and Southern shot 49 percent from the field and 46 percent from 3-point.
"I'm encouraged," Hinson said. "I think there are several things here that we have to draw upon."
Both teams struggled from the free throw line, where ISU made just 15-of-25 and SIU was 15-of-26.
Lansing knows just how close his team came to having its season undercut by a lesser opponent.
"We didn't deserve to win, they did," he said. "It's fine if you just want to finish in the upper half, but if you want to contend for a championship, you can't play like you did today."

'Smash,' Season 1, Episode 12, 'Publicity': TV Recap
Karen got Derek's call to come in early to go over the material; he's worried that he hasn't been paying enough attention to her and wants to make sure she's staying on top of the material. Karen isn't worried because Linda, the stage manager, told her that she will go over stuff with the understudies. Derek tells her that she'd be a brilliant Marilyn. "I see it, in my head" and tells her to stay on top of the material. (Is Derek going to try to get Rebecca Duvall off Marilyn and Karen to replace her? This is also his first acknowledgement of his Karen-as-Marilyn visions). Of course Ellis overhears this. Of course he does. And of course, Ivy walks in during this moment.
Ellis (OBVIOUSLY) uses this information to his advantage; he corners Rebecca's assistant, who he called a loser last episode. After showing up late again, Rebecca doesn't want to work on "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" like Derek wants, instead she has another great idea for another rewrite. (According to Bobby, she wants to cut it and replace it with a scene.) She wants to sing "I Never Met a Wolf Who Didn't Love to Howl" instead. Outside the studio Rebecca pulls Karen aside and asks if she wants to go out tonight. Ah, I see where this is going – do you?
In case we didn't realize it, everyone hates Rebecca, especially Tom, who's livid that Rebecca wants to replace "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" with a scene. Tom's worried that Derek is going to cave into Rebecca's demands and wants Derek to do his job: direct. Tom's words get to Derek because for the rest of the episode he tries to assert his authority.
Karen goes home and Dev looks a lot more cheerful than he did last episode. Apparently he's come to terms with his work situation: doing nothing and getting paid for it puts him in a good enough mood to take Karen out for dinner; but she can't because she has a date with a movie star! (Karen, you're so naive, why would a movie star want to hang out with a nobody like you?) Rebecca and Karen end up going out to a club, where Rebecca brings Karen up on stage (You're supposed to be Derek's muse, let's see what you've got) and she sings "Run" by Snow Patrol. Take off your jacket, Karen, and stay awhile. I guess this song is ok. I'm not enthralled with it, it seems easily forgettable to me. Rebecca confides in her assistant that she's checking out the competition, and to everyone in the entire world watching it's pretty obvious that Rebecca has ulterior motives.
Next morning, Karen's all over Page Six and Hot NY Times Reporter RJ is all too happy to show Dev, who's not too happy upon seeing the photos.
Tom and Julia write a new song and Tom is flipping on Derek, "what are we going to do when she can't sing it?" and "You've lost control of the rehearsal room" (Too bad the entire company's out in the hall and can hear the whole thing, including Rebecca). This new number is called "Second-Hand White Baby Grand " and while it was originally meant for Rebecca, Derek says that Marilyn's shadow selves should sing it instead. Her assistant asks for a sidebar but Rebecca decides she wants Karen to sing it because "she has a real rock-star voice." Ivy looks PEEVED and Karen can barely contain her smile. Afterwards Rebecca goes to Karen's apartment to give her free stuff, like a $2,000 jacket from a campaign she did a few weeks ago. While there Rebecca attacks Karen's relationship with Dev. "Boyfriends can be a problem on the way up." This freezes Karen in her tracks, but she still goes out with Rebecca later that night to Rainstorm, while Dev stays home by himself scrolling through his iPad to look at pictures of the two ladies taking tequila shots all over the meatpacking district. Dev's confused: apparently he doesn't understand the life of a movie star (Uh you were a press person – if people follow the mayor around, surely they're going to follow Rebecca Duvall around).
We're treated to our requisite Tom/Julia time and Tom sings a couple of lines from the new song. I actually wish they'd let Tom sing more; Christian Borle has an amazing voice and a great stage presence. He's definitely underused in this show. Then we get into a Frank/Julia/Leo storyline that I'm sure nobody cares about so I'll recap that part at the end.
Over at Derek's Ivy tells him about the rumors that are going around – movie-star problems. "This is what happens when a show starts to go down" she says.
Rehearsal has turned into a smoothie bar! Rebecca pulled Linda off her production duties to make her a smoothie because her assistant and manager are working their asses off trying to find her a place to live in Boston (why? Broadway is in NYC). Derek is fuming. "I don't have three minutes" he snarls. He storms into Eileen's office demanding she tell "our star how to behave." Eileen tells Ellis there's something she needs him to do; next day he's in charge of smoothies! Haha, gotta work your way up, Ellis. (I guess smoothies are the new "get me a coffee"). Inside the studio Karen's working on the new song with Tom; Ivy's stewing and Ellis stokes her ego by telling her that even though Karen sounds good, Ivy should have that song. "I'm well aware," she responds. Karen's going to dinner with Rebecca and Dev, which Ivy points out is weird since you're dating both of them. Ha. And her parents called three times to find out if the rumors in the papers are true. "You're on your way" Ivy remarks – and somehow Karen doesn't hear her jealous undertone either.
Karen and Dev go to an Indian restaurant; 345 — the address is the name. Rebecca does not drink tap water, she needs something in a bottle, she's displeased by the fact that 345 is an Indian restaurant and says she can't eat it because she has a peanut allergy. Dev says there are no peanuts in Indian cooking. Rebecca goes out of her way to insult Dev's culture. "I love Bollywood." During dinner Rebecca says that you use the press because it's a game and Dev says the press hates to be used – after all he'd know. He asks her why she wants the press to think that her and Karen are lovers. "I want her to be a star" Rebecca counters, and Dev says "Maybe she should decide what she wants." (Clearly Dev is smarter than Karen and is suspicious of Rebecca's motives). Rebecca goes in for the kill "I told you this would be a problem, your ego gets in the way, and you're losing control of her." Dev doesn't take too kindly to this, remarking on Rebecca's boyfriend Colin and questioning what right Rebecca has to comment and define his relationship while questioning what Karen has been telling her. "I'm sure you're a great guy," Rebecca tries. "I love her." "You sound defensive." And then somehow we get into a Bollywood musical. Now introducing Raza Jaffrey in "A Thousand And One Nights." Now remember, Jaffrey has quite the stage background, and I've been waiting for this number for 12 episodes (he had told me in an interview that he just recording a big song/dance routine); I honestly didn't expect them to go this route (so cliched, if you ask me) but it's still fun to watch, and Jaffrey is a good performer. After all, who doesn't love Bollywood? The song is a conversation between Karen and Dev and where their relationship is going. The entire cast of "Bombshell" is there dressed in Bollywood getup. (Ha, even Eileen and Nick make an appearance, oh, and there's RJ. Ew, get her out of there. Tom there too, Julia and her messed up family, Derek feeding Ivy grapes…). And we cut to Karen and Dev sitting alone in the restaurant, not speaking — Rebecca is nowhere to be seen.
Eileen gets all dolled up and takes Bartender Nick to the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Jerry is also there with his young, blond girlfriend Lindsey. Nick tells Jerry that he thinks art should be a little more entertaining, Jerry says he's a populist, and that's not a bad thing "if you're one of the masses." First round, Jerry. "It's a little late to start dating the pool boy, isn't it?" he asks her. Jerry isn't pleased. Back at Nick's apartment (which is quite nice actually – does everyone on this show have a fabulous apartment?). Eileen comments how different Jerry and Nick are; Eileen explains that Jerry is mad but Nick questions why Eileen was ever with someone as mean as Jerry. "You're trading up" Nick says. Aw.
At rehearsal Ellis makes another smoothie for Rebecca and Ivy asks for a favor. Ellis borrows a phone and sends a message to Karen saying "Julia has the flu, you're off" while Ivy tells the others that Rebecca went out for potato chips. Derek is mad, she's 15 minutes late for a 10-minute break and throws a paparazzi's camera on the floor and yells at Rebecca to stop messing about with her understudy and to stop messing about with him. "I am not about to let some stupid little movie star with childish power issues stop it, or me!" But when he gets into the studio, obviously Karen's not there to sing "Second-Hand White Baby Grand" and when Rebecca tries to say she got a text telling her to go home, Derek shuts her up and summons Ivy to do it instead. "Great, it's yours" Derek says. Nice plan, Ivy, nice plan. Rebecca is to lie on the couch and listen to Ivy sing — she's a voice in your head, Derek explains with just a tiny ounce of patience. "Second-Hand White Baby Grand" is ok, but I agree actually, I think Ivy is better for this particular song than Karen is. (And definitely better than Rebecca Duvall). I'm surprised there's no cut-to-the-stage scenes with this song, this seems like the perfect ballad to put Ivy on the stage as Marilyn. Instead we cut to various scenes: Tom and Sam finally kissing, Eileen and Nick in bed together, Karen goes home to Dev, the Houstons. (Necessary? Not really). As Derek showers Ivy with compliments, Rebecca eyes up Ivy – is she going to friend her next? No, she has another suggestion: "I think Marilyn should sing that song." Everyone turns to her surprised. Ha, maybe you should have just let Karen sing it, Ivy.
The Houston's boring story of the week: Leo's been lying! He told his mom he was staying with his dad and vice versa, but he's not with either of them! They call the police. Julia cries. Very interesting. Julia asks Tom not to say anything to anyone while they try to find him so she misses a few days of work. They visit his friend Mason who tries to lie but Julia sees right through him. On the fourth day of Leo missing Julia confronts Mason outside school and threatens to make his life "a living hell" if he doesn't tell her where Leo is. "I'm famous!" she yells. "You screwed up your life so bad you have to run around threatening loser teenagers" Mason shoots back before telling her that Leo's been sleeping on the floor of his room because he needs space from his crazy parents. Frank flips out but Julia tells him to calm down, that Leo's ok and just needs a little room. They hug and you almost forget she cheated. Leo finally returns home at the end of day 4, apologizing because he feels like his family is falling apart. Julia's solution: dinner.
Next week it's time to prepare for opening night and Eileen wants to bring back Michael Swift — if they do Julia tells Tom she's out. Dev asks Karen to marry him and her response is "I'm so sorry" (so clearly, NO); under the bridge they fight – he yells "Do you have any idea how much I've sacrificed for you?" I guess he'll be going to DC…And Ivy/Ellis run into trouble from Rebecca/her assistant. Three episodes left – will we see a finished product before the end of the season? And who will wind up being Marilyn?

Policy differences aside, there was an undercurrent of mistrust if not long-nursed grievances among Republicans, many of whom were getting their first look up-close look at the Democrat in the White House.
Rep. James Lankford of Oklahoma told the president he had heard that his first call on election night last November had been to the leader of the Democrats' 2014 campaign committee, rather than to Boehner, the Republican speaker.
Not so, Obama replied, saying he had indeed called Boehner first, but he was asleep. "Yeah, it was an early night for us," called out one lawmaker, drawing laughs from a group that lost eight seats in November.
Later in the same meeting, Rep. Tom Price of Georgia referred to a lack of trust between the two sides. According to participants in the meeting, he chalked up Obama's delay in presenting a budget this spring to politics.
The president replied that if he were solely interested in politics he would be running a "Mediscare" campaign rather than holding meetings with Republicans.
Across the Capitol, Sen. John Thune of South Dakota singled out an interview in which he said the president accused Republicans of wanting to eviscerate Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
"Nobody here believes those programs ought to be gutted," Thune told Obama, the senator later recalled. Instead, he told the president that Republicans want to preserve the programs for the future.
The president stood his ground, saying the Republican plan to turn Medicaid and food stamps into all-purpose grants to the states would inevitably lead to deep cuts in services for the needy.
By all accounts, Medicare, which provides health care to millions of seniors, is the key to any deficit-reduction compromise.
In his budget a year ago, Obama proposed saving $305 billion over a decade from the program, although little of that derives from the sort of changes Republicans say are essential to slow the growth in health care costs.
Roughly half would come from drug companies that sell medicine to low-income Medicare beneficiaries. Also, $63 billion savings would come from changes in payment rules for post-hospital care facilities, and $36 billion from lowering the amount of bad debt the government would cover for providers.
An additional $28 billion would come from raising premiums for wealthier seniors beginning in 2017.
Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, noted that the president had said repeatedly last winter that Congress should pass tax items they agreed on and leave others for later.
Seeking to turn the tables, he asked Obama why the White House wouldn't now agree to pass legislation to slow the growth of cost-of-living increases in Social Security and other benefit programs and increase Medicare fees for wealthier seniors. Those are steps Obama has backed in the past.
Obama replied that Republicans would have to agree to higher taxes first, according to several lawmakers present.
Even then, it was clear when he met with Senate Democrats that Obama would face resistance from his allies in Congress.
Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an independent who sides with Democrats, said he and Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa spoke out strongly against changes in calculating cost-of-living increases.
"It would make major cuts in Social Security benefits ... and also very significant cuts for disabled veterans," Sanders said in a telephone interview.
"I do not believe that the American people want to balance the budget on the backs of disabled veterans or widows who lost their husbands in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."

While shopping for lights for our dining room, we ran across this beautiful Smokebush Linen Pendant at Room & Board ($299) and looked no further. The fabric's block-printed pattern attracted us immediately, and the fact that the pendant is kinda retro pretty much sealed the deal. A translucent diffuser filters the light, creating the perfect atmosphere that would be a welcome addition to not only your dining area, but just about any room you see fit.

Alzheimer's Disease
New Research Reveals Effective Herbal Flu Remedies
Health 4 All, September, 2000 by Joel Thuna
People commonly apply the term "flu" to almost any wintertime ailment that makes them feel bad. Influenza (the flu) is actually a specific infection of the respiratory tract caused by influenza viruses.
Influenza is similar to the common cold, in that both are respiratory infections caused by viruses. They are often misdiagnosed as each other, however influenza is more serious and severe. Influenza typically has a sudden onset with headaches, chills, and cough followed rapidly by fever, appetite loss, muscle aches and tiredness. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, can sometimes accompany influenza, especially in children, but are rarely prominent.
Influenza is widespread, infecting over 1/4 of all Canadians during flu season and half of all Canadians under 15. There may be local outbreaks of influenza anytime during the fall with definite outbreaks common in Canada from November through May. The number of deaths in Canada due to influenza or its complications will vary each year, but is estimated to be 500 - 1,500 per season.
One could say elderberry (Sambucus nigra) flowers were designed by nature to fight influenza. They are highly antiviral, attacking the viruses that cause influenza, while acting as an immunostimulant by building and toning the body's entire immune system. The flowers' diaphoretic (sweat-promoting) properties further stimulate the body's immune system to combat invading microbes.
When our bodies are producing excessive amounts of mucous (e.g. hay fever, sinusitis, colds, influenza, etc.) elder flowers help to reduce uncomfortable upper respiratory tract inflammation. This ability also permits preparations from the flowers to soothe sore throats and coughs.
Oregano has a highly deserved reputation as a natural remedy. This culinary spice has been used for centuries to treat respiratory problems such as colds, flu, asthma, bronchitis, and coughs.
Researches into oregano's benefits verify this herbs immunostimulant and antimicrobial action. Studies show that oregano builds and tones the immune system. It also destroys viruses and bacteria on contact, including the viruses that cause influenza.
Fighting Back
You can arm yourself with nature's potent flu fighting arsenal. Adding an oregano and elder supplement to your daily regime can give your body the extra power it needs to rise above this year's flu season. This powerhouse herbal combination can provide you with a shield against winter's infection misery.

Optimizing search functionality with large javascript arrays
by Cedric Dugas on August 9, 2010
Processing arrays can take quite a few bit of time, this is something that can directly impacts the loading speed of your page and depend of the computer and the browser your users use. When you think that a typical users can load your website with a netbook , or an iphone for that matter, speeding up search in large arrays can be a good way to optimize your code.
If you never studied in computer science, well like me, the first way you might think about searching in your arrays is to do a loop using the array length and compare each item with your query until you find what you need.
This means that if you are looking for all the items starting by the letter W in a array listed alphabetically, of let's say 100 000 items, you will iterate not far from 100 000 times to find them all! This is way too long, but there is some way to make it better, a freaking lot better.
Introducing the binary search algorithm
It sounds complicated, but in fact this is really simple. Imagine a phone book, imagine that you are looking for the name Smith. Using a traditional loop you would have to look at each page of the book until you get to S, that would be pretty painful..
Now instead of doing that, cut the phone book in half, look if Smith will be in the left or right part, discard the irrelevant part.Now take that your revelant part, cut it in half, and do the same operation until you find a Smith on your page. Just at the first operation, you discarded 50 000 results, with the traditional loop, you would be at 2 of 100 000.
Of course once you got a Smith, you need to look right before and after this item for others Smith, create a new list with all your Smith, and your done! As I said before this is based on the fact that you already got a list in a alphabetical order, this would not work with a disordered list.
You can find more information about this algorithm on this page.
Okay, how I use it in javascript?
You can find a couple of resources on the web to help you implement this functionality yourself, but I created a small helper that use the binary algorithm to search into arrays for one of my project.
With this little helper you just pass your array and what you are looking for and it will return you back a result array, a typical use would look like this:
var searchResult = searchBinary("m", array, true) // the parameters are : searchBinary(search string, array to search, case insensitive?)
This will return an array with all items starting by the letter m. A good use of this script would be with a auto-complete widget.
I did a small performance comparison with Dynatrace. With an array of 2500 items, the binary algorithm is approximately 15 times faster than a traditional loop in Internet Explorer 8 with a core duo 1.3. Of course the more your array is big, the more you save time. The download also include a traditional search helper, so you can do the test yourself if you want.
Hope you guys like it!
About Dynatrace
Dynatrace is a cool tool for testing front-end performance on Internet Explorer, you get execution times from everything, cpu usage, and much more. It is the most powerful tool I saw on any platform for front-end tracing. The best part? It's completely free!
Special thanks to Sherif Zaroubi for his help with this.

Nice article, I didn't know about the binary algorithm, I will put this script in my toolbox!
can you have a good tutorial about simple and light-weight auto-complete?
Yes I have one very lightweight autocomplete (it is also feature light ;), but I would be kind of embarrassed to compare it to jquery ui autocomplete.
When I saw the title of this article my mouth dropped open… this is EXACTLY what I needed! I was searching an array of over 80,000 items, and believe me, it was slow as heck! I'm going to try this out right away! Thank you so much!
[…] Position Absolute, web apps and front-end stuff — Optimizing search functionality with… […]
For extremely heavy autocompletes (like the one in JavaScriptMVC.com), I'll go through and hash the first 2 characters into something like:
{ 'a' : { 'd' : ['add','advent', … ],
….. }.
This way, if your words were uniformly distributed, you would have 1/(26^2=676) of the array to binary search through. If memory is an issue, you can convert the strings to sting objects: new String('add') and have references to strings in the array instead of string literals. If you do 3 levels each array would be 1/17567th of the size.
For non CS nerds out there, using a Hash (in JS an Object) is O(1) lookup. If you can, using Objects is always better than Arrays.
[…] Position Absolute, web apps and front-end stuff – Optimizing … […]
The correct name is "binary search algorithm" NOT just "binary algorithm", which is meaningless.
Very informative and helpful. Thaks very much.
Very informative and helpful. Thaks very much.
This free sharing of infrotmaoin seems too good to be true. Like communism.
Why not just use one of the higher level functions found in ECMAScript 5? There are lots to choose fromL .forEach(), .every(), .some() and more
If you need to support IE8 and below then use the underscore.js library: http://documentcloud.github.com/underscore/

village in Lebanon, with remains of an ancient altar, three reliefs,
and a couple of tombs.
Machnaqa is a small Lebanese village on the western slopes of the Lebanon mountains, more or less halfway between Byblos and Afqa. There is an ancient, tower-shaped altar. More famous examples of this type of structure are the altar-towers in the Great Court in front of the temple of Jupiter in Baalbek.
The altar's reorientation
Like the temples at Aïn Akrine, the sanctuary at Machnaqa is surrounded by a large, rectangular enclosure (or temenos, to use the technical term). We do not know which deity was venerated over here, but the large size of the enclosure suggests a certain popularity.
As the second photo shows, the altar originally consisted of a small platform, which was, in a later building phase, included in a larger structure with a slightly different orientation. This second monument was, in turn, integrated in the third building, which was a real tower altar, not unlike the Small Altar at Faqra. This monument is about eight meters high and surrounded with columns with Doric capitals. On top of it, the priests could sacrifice small animals.
Some hundred meters
north of the sanctuary are several rock tombs with three reliefs. Every
one of these shows a person in a niche. The first and third relief show
smaller figures in front of this niche, which suggests that the
standing man and the sitting lady represent deities (Adonis and a
mournful Aphrodite?), while the smaller figures are worshippers.
Getting thereFrom the coastal highroad between Byblos and Beyrut, take the road that leads to Afqa, following the valley of the Nahr el-Ibrahim (the ancient Adonis river). After just over twenty kilometers, you will reach Machnaqa. Just before the village, to your right, several steps (photo left) indicate the place where you will find the reliefs and the tombs. The altar is a little bit beyond it, and can also be reached directly from the road.
A satellite photo is here: temenos to the south, tombs and reliefs in the north, close to the road.

Bio: At a young age, Mikhail was taken away from his family and forced to serve another Demon, kind of like a Lap/Gaurd dog. His master could always call him is "Canine Butler", as hge had to protect and care for his master without fail. After reaching his teenage years, and totally forgetting about who his parents were, Mikhail was allowed into the outside world by himself. Soon, he decided it was time to have his own life, and ran away from his Master- Never to see that horrible man again.
He went to the University when he was 16 until he was 18, and decided to get a job there. At first he was just a teaching assistant, but soon had enough experiance to teach fully. many people find him intimidating because of his famous intence staring, and for some reason he looks younger than his actual age... he is a Demonic wolf because, unlike normal wearewolves, he drinks human blood, and becomes weak if he does not. He also enjoys flipping through girls- so if he likes one, he will saty with her until he becomes bored, then go onto another. He hasnt found a woman he truetly likes yet. No one knows where his master/owner is...

PANAMA CITY BEACH - A puppy rescue service owner from Bonifay is looking for some help from animal lovers. She's been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer and is afraid she won't be able to keep up with the animals.
She's looking for some good homes to adopt the pups, or serve as foster families.
Teri Mattson loves what she calls her lucky puppies. Mattson runs a puppy rescue, called Lucky Puppy, out of her Bonifay home.
About three weeks ago, she went in for her annual mammogram and received some bad news. Doctors told Mattson she has Stage 1 breast cancer.
"Everything changes in a minute and we've got a lot of medical issues to look into and decisions to make, places to go, and appointments to keep and things like that have come up all at once," said Teri Mattson.
Mattson's real job is accounting. Between that and Lucky Puppy, she already stays busy. She now has new priorities.
"Now we're talking about appointments and hospitals and surgeries. So I'm really worried about being away from where I need to be," said Mattson.
So she's looking for help. The rescue posted the news of Mattson's condition on Facebook earlier this week, and support has been pouring in.
Family, friends, even strangers have shared the post more than 100 times.
"At first, I said, Teri, there is no Lucky Puppy without Teri. So we need to take care of you first and then we'll work out helping out the rescue. Getting dogs adopted, fostered, or to other rescues," said Vicky Perkins, a volunteer of Lucky Puppy.
That's where you come in. More than 40 dogs need a home.
"We love Teri and we're behind Teri and we'll do anything to help Teri and the Lucky Puppy rescue," said Perkins.
For more information on how to adopt or foster a dog from Lucky Puppy, log onto www.theluckypuppy.org.

As a lot of you know... I was involved in a recent petition and fight against a proposed Dollar General in Inlet Beach where I live. A few of you (3) had some unkind words regarding my involvement and jumped to some incorrect assumptions. I thought I would use this blog to explain my involvement and in the end how we used technology and social media to help us win.
If you want to see the PDF I used at the BoCC meeting last week you can download it here.
Watch a replay of the meeting here.
The Dollar General part is at the 1hr mark. I speak at 2:44.
This whole issue with Dollar General became a concern of mine and my neighbors back near the beginning of July. The proposed store is just around the corner from my house. After researching the proposed store through public records requests of the design, application, etc we had several concerns.
Traffic Flow
Size/Scale of Store
OK... so as you can see on the below map....
This store's only exit for traffic was onto a residential street... North Walton Lakeshore. The intersection of 98/NWL does not allow for a legal left turn to return to PCB. That said, cars often do it... illegally. The assumption with the traffic study was that cars would not make the illegal left turn to return to PCB (1600') but would rather drive 4500' RT to Orange Street... make a U-turn and then head eastbound to PCB. Our concern in my neighborhood was that cars that did not make an illegal turn would take the 2nd shortest route... 1900' through my neighborhood.
In Inlet Beach we have a 'neighborhood plan' that sets rules for land usage, need, size/scale. With respect to the size/scale we found that this store was not of the neighborhood commercial scale. It is important to know there is a difference between commercial and neighborhood commercial. As a matter a fact this store was the biggest square footage/acre of any other business I could find... even a Super Wal-Mart.
As for the need of the store many people felt that we simply did not need it with several big shopping plazas going in up the street as well as a CVS, Winn-Dixie, and Publix a mile away.
So, how does one try to get answers to something like this and in the end stop a store? Well, it is not easy. Ask my wife as to the amount of time I spent researching and emailing elected officials, planners, engineers, etc. I was also not alone... I had a lot of others in Inlet Beach helping me. It really was an orchestrated effort with people coming from different backgrounds and walks of life.
A big part of it was the creation of an online petition through Change.org. This enabled us to get the news out and solicit support from others in the area. This is always tough down here bc so many land and home owners don't live here. Going door to door would be very difficult and yield few results. By going the online route we could solicit via email, Facebook, Twitter, and SoWal.com message boards. Facebook is probably where we were most successful. Once people signed the petition we could then send messages to our supporters regarding meetings and times for the Design Review Board, Planning Commission, and Board of County Commissioners. To make a difference you need numbers and for people to see your passion. Not everyone needs to speak at the meetings. Only a few need to do that, but your presence matters.
We also utilized the media to get the word out. Our station, 13, Beach Breeze, and Walton Sun all did stories on our efforts. In full disclosure I did nothing different to get coverage from channel 7 than anyone else does. I simply sent an email. Some meetings they came to... others they did not because of staffing, other stories, etc. The station mentioned my involvement every time for full disclosure.
Not to be lost in this process... our group met with the developers of the store. You see, Dollar General does not own their stores. Someone builds the stores and owns the land and building and then leases it to Dollar General for 15years. Dollar General does not own a thing.
The developers worked with us regarding the design of the store to give it more of a 'beachy' feel and I think they succeeded. See below...
Two things they would not do were to make the store smaller and change the ingress/egress to help prevent traffic cutting through our neighborhood. That is how we ended up fighting the proposed store.
Some of you that emailed me assumed we proposed the store only because it was a 'Dollar General' or a discount store. That simply is not true. There were concerns about how other Dollar Generals in SoWal have conducted themselves with respect to maintenance and code violations with outdoor merchandise sales, but that was the extent of it. As a matter a fact... Dollar General being opposed because it is a discount retailer was not even mentioned in my presentation.
The process for a store like this can be quite long... in this case... 4 months or more on our end and much longer on the developer's. There are tons of meetings and hours of effort. I can see how people give up. Luckily when you have numbers others can pick up the slack when others are out of town, etc. For me I did a lot of the organizing, but because of my work schedule I could not attend many meetings with the exception of the finally Board of County Commissioners meeting.
I hope this ends my time as a 'public activist'. I found the experience quite interesting and found the use of technology to enact change fascinating. Maybe you can use our blueprint to find success in future public battles like this in your community.
Anyway, if you have any additional questions regarding our efforts or my involvement please do not hesitate to contact me.

Throughout the past 50 years the WICHE Mental Health Program has been actively engaged in mental health workforce development activities for the West.
WICHE Initiatives
The Internet is a crucial part of higher education today. Students, faculty, and staff must have access to institutional web content for many essential activities such as registering, applying for financial aid completing assignments, employment, testing, and delivering or augmenting courses. However, if websites that provide necessary information are not accessible, those with disabilities may not be able to independently complete their daily tasks or compete with their peers in academia and beyond.
The WICHE Mental Health Program has recently written a successful application to receive funding through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Network Development Planning Grant,
Focuses on the effectiveness of alternative modes of education, serving as a companion to Thomas L. Russell's book The No Significant Difference Phenomenon.
Supports consumers' evaluations and assessments of state-level mental health services in South Dakota.
Supplies a set of resources to determine the costs of offering a course through different delivery methods.
Enables interstate collaboration for improving data infrastructure and performance measurement in public mental health systems.
The WICHE research center focuses upon a range of studies to expand the science in the area of behavioral health services and policy.

So Many Things I Don't Know About Spark People.
Friday, November 13, 2009
I just saw a news article that said this website is like MySpace, and they showed someone with a front page, well, I didn't know we had that. Nor did I know this site was connected to a book, I found that at the library the other day, didn't check it out though. I also didn't find this website becasue I was looking weight loss info. I was using meebo.com to chat and saw a connection called Spark People, thinking it was the now defunct TheSpark.com, the same people that make Spark Notes. So far all I really do here is track my food eaten, and my weight and body measurements. It is also nice to make journal posts here because I don't really want to talk about my weight in my Live Journal. I have made one friend here though. I also like the Facebook style status update. I want to look up some other exercises here, as all I do currently are 100 crunches a day, and some days I feel burnt out on them.
I guess I should go make a main page. (;

Sherry, actually, my boyfriend challenged me to do thirty sit ups and I said, "Man there's no way I can do sit ups, here let me show you how quick I'll get winded." Amazingly, I was able to do them with just a couple of breaks. I was so excited.
And about getting burnt out, yes! I'm watching some of the example videos here and there to see what I'd enjoy doing. I'm focused on crunches because that seems to be the muscle group that is the weakest for me.

I think 100 crunches is a-lot. I walk 2 of my dogs totally 1/2 mile a day. I can walk but getting down and doing crunches... I just can't, yet. i am not limber enough. Keep it up.

If you continue with the same exercise over and over again you are gonna get burnt out. The things I like about this website is they give you some fun and new exercises to try and also let *reality* hit in a way that you track what your eating and it makes you conscious of how much your really putting into yourself.
I like the people here, I'm new like you but already I feel like they are really supportive and we can give support as well through the blogs and message posts. You can also enlighten yourself with the medical information on different topics......some stuff that you thaught you knew turns out you were wrong.
Good luck on your journey and hope to see you soon :)

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. - Independence police credit witnesses with helping save a woman who was reportedly raped in a park Saturday.
John Quinn and Robert McDaniel were taking out the trash at a fast food restaurant when they noticed a commotion in Brady Park next door.
RELATED: Bigger problems lie in area where Independence rape occurred
"She heard my voice and rose up and I saw her face," McDaniel explained. "It was all beaten up, bloody, swollen, it made me mad."
The two said they jumped down to stop a man from attacking the woman and their boss called police.
The man stumbled away and ended up in Julie Martin's backyard.
"We didn't know what had happened or anything, but he was right behind the house and he didn't have any clothes on," Martin said. "He just fell, he just collapsed."
Independence Police caught Bryan Raines and charged him with rape and sodomy in the first degree.
The park where the attack happened is just across the street from a children's playground at McCoy Park.
The two workers who jumped in to help said they were glad Raines didn't get away.
"It just could have been a lot worse, I'm glad we caught what was going on before it did get worse … there could have been a dead lady down there that no one even would have known about," Quinn said.
Raines is being held on a $500,000 cash only bond.

Hillingdon police officers praised for helping to save student's life
17:48 12 November 2012
The parents of a university student found collapsed outside an Uxbridge nightclub have thanked police officers for saving his life.
Andrew Marsden, who has a heart condition, lapsed into unconsciousness and stopped breathing during a night out on Halloween.
Experiencing heart palpitations, he approached PC Debra Armin for help. She monitored his pulse - which was rapid and irregular - as he clutched his chest.
The 18-year-old, who is studying economics and accounting at Brunel University, then collapsed.
PC Armin then started cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), while her colleague, PC Hannah Rowley, arranged for a defibrillator to be brought over.
She then took over the CPR from PC Armin. A third officer PC Jan Neumeister, arrived on the scene, with a first aid kit and also helped with CPR.
Andrew's fancy dress costume had to be cut to enable the defibrillator to be applied to his chest.
Two shocks were delivered before his condition improved but he remained unconscious. Officers continued to monitor his condition and covered him with their jackets and a foil blanket before he was taken by ambulance to Hillingdon Hospital.
Andrew said: "I can't thank the police officers enough for what they did for me on Halloween night.
"They saved my life. I have now made a full recovery and look forward to seeing them out and about in Uxbridge".
Andrew's mother and father Alan and Sharon also paid tribute to the officers.
They said: "The most precious thing in our lives is our son Andrew.
"He is alive due to the brilliant work done by Debra, Hannah and Jan. We cannot thank them enough. The police don't always get the recognition they so richly deserve.
"Suffice to say we have the greatest admiration for you all."
