Critical Read
What: "How Sequestration Gets Worse in 2014," a report by Harry Stein, associate director for fiscal policy at the Center for American Progress.
Why: Sequestration was felt far and wide in the federal government in 2013, but the second round of cuts will trim $109 billion in 2014, $24 billion more than last year's cuts. The larger across-the-board reductions will affect education, research, infrastructure, public safety, national security, scientific research and IT beginning in March 2014.
Many agencies dealt with the 2013 cuts by dipping into contingency funds or using one-time fixes. Traditional IT services at many agencies are likely to feel the pressure, and IT leaders, who are already challenged because three-quarters of their IT budgets fund legacy systems, will be forced to make tougher decisions with fewer dollars on hand. IT upgrades could be delayed, and research and innovative pilot projects could be shelved, with every available dollar going to keep mission-critical systems operational.
The cuts will show up not only as line items in budgets, but front and center at agencies. In addition, the Congressional Budget Office predicts that prolonged sequestration lasting through 2014 would lead to 800,000 lost jobs, with some federal employees certainly among them.
Stein said the quick fixes that succeeded to varying degrees in 2013 won't work with the larger cuts and given the depletion of contingency funds.
Verbatim: "The federal government is responding to sequestration with the assumption that it is a short-term budget crisis. While sequestration is generally an automatic across-the-board cut, Congress and the Obama administration have allowed some flexibility to ameliorate the worst short-term problems. These fixes have focused on funding immediate needs to minimize sequestration's impacts, but that approach cannot be sustained. In some cases, agencies minimized their sequester cuts using budget gimmicks, but those gimmicks only work once.
"In other cases, agencies drained their reserve and investment accounts to sustain urgent needs, but those accounts need to be replenished later. These responses are appropriate as long as sequestration is just a short-term problem -- meaning that Congress acts quickly to repeal it. But if sequestration continues, these quick fixes will only make things worse down the road."

It turned out they highly exagerated the negatives and the administration did its best to make it worse than it had to be with idiotic closures that had ZERO cost savings. Now people are skeptical. The second COULD be worse, but you people with your dire warnings have lost credibility. Let the sequester begin again!
What's the problem. We have all the money in the world. Who needs a sequester? Shoot during the Great Recession, we were told the "real" crisis was health care. So, we launched the most expensive health care program ever in Obamacare and borrowed from Medicare to fund it. Don't know whay we had to borrow. We're the richest nation on earth; just fund it. All this talk about the need to save money. Nonsense. One thing Obamacare taught us is, money is unlimited and the taxpayer can always be counted on to fund any new crisis Obama identifies for us. IT spending a problem. Mr. Obama, this is a crisis. Please fund IT. Thank you.

With a milestone celebration under their belts, organizers of the 25th Mendon Riverfest find themselves facing an unenviable challenge.
What to do for a follow-up.
"Well, that's a good question and I guess when the committee meets again to go over 2012, we'll talk about that," said Roger Cupp, chair of the 2012 Mendon Riverfest.
The three-day festival concluded on a high note Saturday, as the event-ending fireworks presentation left a crowd of more than 2,000 people impressed. The 25-minute show started off with a bright and dazzling display shot from rafts near the south bank of the St. Joseph River in front of Reed River Park.
In similar fashion, the show concluded with a high-reaching burst of flames shot from one of the rafts.
"Best Riverfest fireworks ever," said Jason Silvey, of Marcellus.
To commemorate Riverfest's silver anniversary, its organizers decided to add generously to what is typically an $8,000 fireworks show. The difference left an appreciative crowd impressed.
In addition to the pyrotechnics, Saturday's full slate of events and activities was highlighted by the annual canoe swamp, a crowd favorite.
Eight, three-person teams signed up and hundreds of people lined the Reed River Park boardwalk to watch Mendon-area residents Jenna and Meghan Griffith, 16- and 20-years-old, respectively, and 21-year-old Amanda Brady of Three Rivers claim the $100 cash prize for winning the event.
The young ladies won a preliminary round featuring two other opponents, then sunk the two winners of the second and third heats to claim the cash.
A Saturday morning fishing tournament drew 24 participants, an impressive number for a second-year event that produced only four challengers in 2011, Riverfest Committee member Mindy Kline said.
Winner of the largest carp was Mendon's Yvonne Harber, who reeled in a catch at 16 pounds and measuring 33 inches. Brook Alexander was second with a 13-pound catch.
Winner of the largest bass contest was Greg Gifford, of Mendon. He snagged a 5 pound, 22 1/2-inch fish. Mendon's Matt Aeed was second with a catch weighing 3 1/2 pounds.
The second annual Tom Frisbie Memorial Texas Hold 'Em Tournament resulted in two winners — Vic Wilczynski and Wendy Pio agreed to chop the pot, meaning the $700 first prize and $450 second-place award were combined then shared evenly.
The event drew 48 players and buy-in was $50.
Other cash prizes were awarded for winners of the canoe and kayak races, and toy duck and wooden sailboat races.
Cupp said everyone who offered him feedback had nothing but good things to say about the 2012 Riverfest.
"Attendance was down Thursday and Friday, but we made up for that on Saturday — really a nice turnout for our final day and a great fireworks show that didn't leave too many people disappointed," Cupp said.

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals earned a development milestone payment from GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) totaling $3.2 million. The milestone payment is related to progress in the companies' collaboration on the use of VaxiRNA™ technology for the production of GSK's influenza vaccine. Alnylam's VaxiRNA platform uses RNAi technology for the enhanced manufacturing of vaccine products.
Alnylam's VaxiRNA platform applies siRNA for the silencing of specific genes that limit or prevent efficient manufacturing of vaccine antigens, including those produced in cell culture and in eggs. The VaxiRNA platform stems from work Alnylam has performed as part of its Alnylam Biotherapeutics efforts, where RNAi technology has been applied to improve the manufacturing of biotherapeutic products, such as recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies.
Alnylam and GSK formed their collaboration in the fourth quarter of 2011. The effort is focused initially on influenza vaccine production in cell culture systems. Under the terms of the agreement, GSK will provide research funding and certain milestone payments to Alnylam, such as the $3.2 million received this quarter. If successfully applied in the manufacturing of commercial product, Alnylam will receive payments on unit product sales of commercialized vaccine product. In addition, GSK has obtained an option for VaxiRNA applications toward two additional vaccine products.

DENVER (July 31, 2013)—The Curtis Hotel in Denver is offering a package that includes a one-night stay in a pop-up inflatable, room that can be lifted 22 feet in the air with the help of a scissor lift on top of the van on which it sits.
At $50,000, the stay will be pricey, there's a weight limit, and smoking isn't allowed.
Architectural artist Alex Schweder created the 5-foot-by-7-foot room atop a van for the Biennial of the Americas arts, culture and idea festival in Denver.
It has a chemical toilet, shower, sink, inflatable bed and living room.
Schweder spent two nights in it, at two downtown Denver parking lots.
Now the hotel is giving the curious a chance to stay in the aluminum and inflated vinyl creation, called "the hotel rehearsal."

Hey my name is Nicholas from Singapore and I'll be heading to Merica for a school trip soon. Specifically I'll arrive in SF on the 9th of April and I'll have to join the rest on my class at the Tuscan Inn on the 12th. After that though I'll be in New York from the 10th to 15th of May.
So anyway I'd love to meet some locals to hang out, explore some cool spots around the city and play some video games or something. I'd also like a place to crash if it's possible, to save some money. Oh and I'd really like to go to Disneyland on one of those days I'm in California if any of you are up for it. Hope to hear from some of you soon!

Mom charged with child abuse
2 kids ingested cocaine, marijuana, investigation finds
Published: Friday, December 17, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 16, 2010 at 11:48 p.m.
Henderson County Sheriffs Office detectives have arrested Tracy Leigh Delozier, 31, and charged her with one count of felony child abuse and two counts of misdemeanor child abuse, according to a sheriffs office news release.
The investigation found that Delozier intentionally caused her two children, ages 2 and 9, to ingest cocaine, marijuana and other narcotics, according to the release.
As a result of the arrest and continued investigation by Special Victims Unit detectives and drug enforcement agents, Delozier was charged with possession with intent to sell and/or deliver marijuana, maintaining a vehicle/dwelling to keep or sell controlled substances and felony possession of marijuana, the release says.
Delozier was being held in the Henderson County Detention Facility in lieu of a $59,000 secured bond and was scheduled to appear in Henderson County District Court Thursday, police said.
This crime was truly depraved and twisted, Sheriff Rick Davis said in the release. It was a complex investigation and required very methodical but fast work by our detectives to arrest this suspect.

Unstructured Rupture
The highly talented MC Blackbird—born Gershwin Hutchinson—used to be called "the black Jim Morrison" by regulars at hip-hop venues like the Good Life Cafe, Project Blowed and the AfterLife, mostly because of his expansive vocal range: he goes back and forth between rapping, spoken word, singing and his own improvised character voices. But he's also got the charisma and the wild history to fit a Lizard King.
For more than a decade, Blackbird performed alongside luminaries like Jurassic 5, Pharcyde and the Freestyle Fellowship, but he was actually a member of the legendarily hedonistic crew Darkleaf—as talented as the aforementioned crews, but devoted to partying a little harder than everybody else. Blackbird now flies solo, however, with new control over the impressive range that made him a crowd favorite. Being completely sober has made him sharper than a Ginsu knife; the proof is in 13 sizzling tracks produced by Paris Zax on his album Bird's Eye View (on Alpha Pup), said to approach Lord Quas levels of hip-hop creativity.
Zax's production slides from ambient down-tempo grooves to gritty and driving beats, but Blackbird rides each song with ease: "Working with Paris Zax is easy," he says. "He gives me the room to experiment, where some have tried to structure my unstructured rupture."
His song "Survivor" is attracting new attention because Blackbird opens up about his past with an honesty that is rare in the macho-dominated world of hip-hop: "I air my laundry in hopes that someone else is going through or feeling what I'm feeling," he says. "My motivation is going where the next man won't go. I feel like the worst thing is going through something and feeling like you're the only one going through it."

This sense of purpose has him on the warpath doing countless shows in all kinds of venues. He's been known to rock punk audiences with fearless abandon, and he launches himself far beyond Saturn in his performances. How does he let go?
"It's being able to laugh at oneself—not taking oneself too seriously," he says. "I don't know shit. I just remain open!"

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Bills calling for nonpartisan elections of local and appellate judges have been defeated in an Alabama House committee.
The House Constitution and Elections Committee voted 7-2 Wednesday to defeat a measure by Democratic Rep. Jeff McLaughlin of Guntersville to choose Supreme Court justices and judges for the Court of Criminal Appeals and the Court of Civil Appeals in nonpartisan elections. Candidate names would appear on the ballot without party labels.
A similar bill calling for the election of circuit and district court judges in nonpartisan elections also lost in a 7-2 vote.
Republicans hold an 18-1 margin on the state's appeals courts and opposed the bills.

PitBull4 is a continuation of PitBull.
Differences from PitBull 3:
- It's mostly done, but not entirely done thus why there are still only betas (despite this it is still very stable).
- Documentation is written before functions
- Much easier for third-party extensions.
- Options will be much, much simpler. In 3.0, there's about 200 panels that you can mess with, it's overwhelming. I want to bring this down to somewhere around 10.
- Layouts are defined deterministically and unit groups use the layout rather than ad-hoc layouts on a per-unit basis. This will make setting up your unit frames far, far easier.
- Due to some decisions made, 4.0 is actually more configurable than 3.0. As a layout designer, you will have a lot more control over how things look. You can have different fonts on the same frame, different textures, more precise positioning, and a whole slough of other things.
- CPU Efficiency will be taken much more seriously.
- It uses Ace3 instead of Rock.

I've recently switched from X-perl to Pitbull 4 and have loved all the features but I have run into just a single problem. Where the buffs would show up on a default WoW UI, in the upper right corner where the mini map would apear, the buffs are still there. I have them custom set up to be on the top of my unit frame, and that works fine, but the default for WoW's UI will not go away. And ideas?

As an addendum to my post about the range fader below, I have discovered that the reason friendly frames and NPC's were fading even when close to me was because I had the range fader set at "Custom spell". Apparently, since I cannot cast Arcane Blast on friendly targets or NPC's, the program sees them as out of range, and thus causes them to fade.
Im going to try Range Fader 2. Thanks

The fader option, for some unknown reason, is fading all of my frames except the border of the player frame. The odd thing is, every frame was cloned from a template.
edit- Ok, now I just log in, and my pet border is not fading. Which was fading correctly earlier this morning. Also, I've got no messages on my bug stack.Last edited Jun 27, 2010 by slickwalker: added

I have noticed that with the range based opacity only works and will go as low as the minimum opacity set. The problem here is that with minimum opacity set at anything less than 100, all friendly targets and NPC's are at that lowest set minimum opacity regardless of their range. I want the range fading feature, BUT, I dont want friendly NPCs and targets to be faded. How do we overcome this?

And the winner iiiiisssssss....Festive Gruyere Fondue! Made for Everyday Is A Holiday.
This was so decadent...I enjoyed making this, and the cream added a depth that I hadn't tasted before. I reduced by half, as dinner, and served with a granny smith apple, crusty french bread, some bing cherries (YUM!) and homemade meatballs (which DH asked for...) I'll be making this recipe again; thanks, kittycatmom, for sharing! :-)

FDA's MedWatch Safety Alerts: August 2009
In this article
After the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves a product and it is on the market, FDA continues to monitor unexpected and undesirable side effects (adverse events) of that product.
Health care professionals and consumers may report side effects, product quality problems, product use errors, or therapeutic failure with the use of medical products to FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by regular mail, by fax, or by phone.
- Online at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/
- Regular Mail: Use postage-paid FDA form 3500 and mail to MedWatch, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787.
- Fax: 1-800-FDA-0178
- Phone: 1-800-332-1088
MedWatch reports can signal a safety problem and lead to an FDA action to protect the public from harm, serious illness, or even death.
Here are a few of the most recent safety alerts prompted by reports received by FDA from health care professionals and their patients.
Recall: Weight-Loss Products
Four weight-loss dietary supplements marketed by Young You Corporation have been recalled:
- Slimbionic, 30 capsules/box
- One Weight Loss Pill, 30 capsules/bottle
- SlimDemand Capsules, 30 capsules/box
- Botanical Weight Loss, 30 capsules/box
The products were sold and distributed nationwide via the Internet and at the company's Weight Loss and Rejuvenation Center in Tarzana, Calif.
The risk: FDA laboratories have found that these products contain sibutramine, which is not declared on the label. Sibutramine is an FDA-approved drug used to curb the appetite for weight loss. FDA has not approved the Young You products as drugs; therefore, the safety and effectiveness of these products are unknown.
Sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure or pulse rate in some people and may be especially dangerous for people with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias (disorders of heart rate or rhythm), or stroke.
- Destroy these products or return them to Young You at 19590 Ventura Blvd., Tarzana, CA 91356.
- Contact Young You Corporation at 818-344-3344 for more information.
Recall: Male-Enhancement Products Marketed as Dietary Supplements
The following dietary supplements marketed by Nature & Health Co. have been recalled:
- LibieXtreme
- Y-4ever
- Libimax X Liquid
- Powermania Liquid and Capsule
- Herbal Disiac

If I check all the following boxes in an old computer or one with minimal memory, the computer becomes slow or unresponsive while doing basic tasks such as playing music, opening documents and visiting basic websites.
Which of the four checkboxes (and the dropdown box) do I check at the minimum as a tradeoff for less powerful machines? Please presume I've done everything to everything else to "speed it up". Sorry, the Microsoft site is short of information on what these checkboxes mean or do.
Almost always the OS is Windows XP Home.

Nowhere.dk (the entire domain) was offline today from 09:47 to 10:46 UTC follwing a major outage at Cloudflare.com. Points to Cloudflare.com for releasing a full incident report.

The performance of the site should have increased considerably – but since it meant disabling WordPress HTTPS you will probably see a warning about all elements of the page not being secured; I am working on that.
It might seem as if Nowhere.dk has been out of commission for a while. That is not the case – but a firewall configuration error (on my part) accidently blocked port 80; an error I did not see since I always use SSL. Sorry, Allan
Have yourselves a merry little Christmas – Have you ever thought about what Santa REALLY does while you're asleep?
While my site might not be as important or visited as Google or Facebook, I decided to switch it to SSL. Some pages will show an "error" in the browser because not all content is encrypted (external images); I hope I'll get that fixed some day.

I have a program that involves receiving a packet from a network on one thread, then notifying other threads that the packet was received. My current approach uses Thread.Interrupt, which seems to be a bit slow when transferring huge amounts of data. Would it be faster to use "lock" to avoid using to many interrupts, or is a lock really just calling Interrupt() in its implementation?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I don't understand why you would use
Signaling other threads is better accomplished with one the following mechanisms.
I usually use a standard queue and the lock keyword when reading or writing it. Alternatively, the Synchronized method on the queue removes the need to use lock. A System.Threading.Semaphore is the best tool for notifying worker threads when there is a new job to process.
Example of how to add to queue
Example of how to process a work item:
Semaphore setup:
If this is too slow and synchronization overhead still dominates your application, you might want to look at dispatching more than one work item at a time.
Depending on what you're doing, the new parallelization features in .NET 4.0 may also be very helpful for your application (if that's an option).

Claudette & Dave's February 29, 2012 Hawaii Wedding {yes, a Leap Year}
Brought to us by Benn Brown of Blue Sky Photography, we're thrilled to feature Claudette and Dave's Hawaii wedding–a dream destination on the jaw-dropping Mauna Kea beach on the Big Island. Benn brilliantly captures not only the magical moments of Claudette and Dave's big day, but also the flawless, colorful and raw beauty that is Hawaii itself. Surrounded by family, friends and a picturesque landscape, be inspired by Claudette and Dave's laid-back yet elegant, sentimental wedding style–in paradise!
About the couple: Claudette, a wedding planner, is from the United States while Dave, a port operations manager, is from Australia. They reside in Australia and love every minute of it.
Venue/Location: Mauna Kea Beach Hotel on the west coast of the Big Island
Photographer: Benn Brown, owner of Blue Sky Photography {based in Cairns, Australia}
About the wedding
To make the wedding the most relaxed it could be, we decided on Hawaii for the big day. We went there for a holiday at Christmas with my family a few years before and just loved the laid back style and the amazing scenery that the Big Island has to offer. We're really into traveling so we knew that a destination was our best option, and the added bonus that all of our friends and family can get together and have one massive holiday!
Highlights of the day:
- The Anthem Battle. Journey vs. Khe San (Australian's version of Journey). We had Dave and I out there belting out the words to both and the confused look on the face of the opposing nation was priceless!
- My dress. I used the lace from my mom's dress to make the top of mine and some of my father ashes (he passed away a few years ago) was tucked into my bouquet. We released him privately a few days after the ceremony. The shell of my mother's dress I had altered to fit me for the rehearsal.
- Our friends. Dave and I have been fortunate to be friends with many people and who are all important to our lives. It was beautiful to see girls I lived in France with getting along so well with my friends in Cairns.
- Our families. They have actually gotten so close, Dave's mom is coming with us to Michigan for Christmas this year!!
- Simplicity. We arranged a bus service from an area where everyone was staying (Waikoloa Beach Resort). It picked them up and took them home at the end of the night. We also rented an extra room and hired a babysitter so our guests could relax.
How did you and Dave meet?
I came to Australia after graduating college (University of Florida) and planned on staying for 4 months and returning back to the states. I came to Cairns a couple days after landing in Sydney and was quickly running out of funds so I landed a job bar-tending a corporate tent at the Cairns Amateurs, the city's largest horse races of the year. The tent I was assigned to was Dave's social club's tent … We went for drinks a couple of times and started dating shortly after.
Since my visa was expiring, I was going back to the states to decide if I would leave everything I knew and move to Australia for a year, or stay and go on the traditional path. Well, Dave and his friend changed their holiday plans to come to the states at Christmas and Dave came to my Mom's house for a few days. He bought me a one way ticket to Cairns and was pretty sure that I wasn't going to come back. I nearly didn't because of snow storms and getting stuck in elevators, but I made it and haven't looked back since.
The reception was under large rain trees coated in Christmas lights and paper lanterns. The food was all buffet and traditional Luau food–we even included the one thing Dave wanted most–a pig! The little guy was cooked in the ground and there was an Imu ceremony to bring it to the table to be served.
Fun fact about the Best Man
Did you notice that the Best Man is Steven Bradbury? Steven is the Australian short track speed skater who won the Olympic Gold in 2002, when everyone else fell over except for him! Do you remember? Unbelievable! Have a look here to relive that incredible race.
Congratulations Dave and Claudette. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely day with us. We wish you many blessings to come and many more holidays that bring your families together!
Drop by Benn's blog here to see lots more loveliness from Dave and Claudette's wedding.

March brought a rebound in the value of construction contracts awarded around San Diego County, according to monthly data from McGraw Hill Construction and Dodge Research and Analytics.
The metropolitan statistical area produced a total of more than $965.8 million in new building contract awards in March, outperforming the region's performance in March 2013. On a year-to-date basis, the relatively strong number pushed San Diego County ahead of its 2013 performance for the first three months of the calendar year. Since the start of the year, through March, more than $1.32 billion in building contracts have been awarded. By comparison, the first three months of 2013 resulted in total contracts valued at less than $958 million.
While overall building contracts rebounded, the March increase was attributed entirely to contracts for non-residential buildings. Residential building contract values actually slid during the month, as compared to March 2013, by 26 percent.
That's a turnaround from the trend that had shown progress in the county's residential sector regularly outperforming those in the non-residential sector. The area ended 2013 with a 43 percent yearly increase in residential building contract values over 2012, while it experienced a 15 percent decline in non-residential building across the same time span.
Nonresidential buildings include those for office, retail, hotels, warehouses, manufacturing, education, health care, religious use, government, recreation, and other non-housing buildings. Both single-family homes and multifamily housing are included in the residential building measurement.

I have got some cool cars in career mode of NFS Pro Street. But I want to race them in race day mode. How can I do it? When I choose a custom race day, I see some boring cars and my career cars aren't there. Any way to do this ?
I am not sure about the PC version, but on my wii you can use your own cars on certain maps. Also on the wii version, you have to press a button to change a tier which allows you to access your own cars.
