This can show all ls colors, with a demo.
If you want all the URLs from all the sessions, you can use :

Thanks to tybalt89 ( idea of the "for" statement ).
For perl purists, there's JSON and File::Slurp modules, buts that's not installed by default.

Quick and kludgy rss parser for the recent tracks rss feed from last.fm. Extracts artist and track link.
My version uses printf and command substitution ($()) instead of echo -e and xargs, this is a few less chars, but not real substantive difference.
Also supports lowercase hex letters and a backslash (\) will make it through unescaped
as unixmonkey7109 pointed out, first awk parse replaces three steps.
It's not a big line, and it *may not* work for everybody, I guess it depends on the detail of access_log configuration in your httpd.conf. I use it as a prerotate command for logrotate in httpd section so it executes before access_log rotation, everyday at midnight.
For this example, all files in the current directory that end in '.xml.skippy' will have the '.skippy' removed from their names.

The work directory is an automatically-generated component of the RUN directory. Early on in the assembly process, it does not exist, but eventually it will contain the output of pre-processing and the SUBDIRs.
From the user's point of view, the upshot is very simple. When you initially run a script module such as Assemble or Assemblez, you should specify RUN without work. For example, if you put RUN=run, Assemblez will create run and put several useful output files there; it will also create run/work and put more files there. After Assemblez is done, all further assembly modules and post-processing modules should give RUN=run/work.

Next time you're over at mom's or grandma's house, you may want to dig around a bit. Look through the boxes and bins of toys that kept you up as a child, and put a smile on your face.
"It was a dream, especially at a time before Internet and VCRs, " said toy collector DC Harbold.
He says those toys may be worth a lot of money today. He showed us his Millenium Falcon from Star Wars.
"In 1979 this sold for about $40 in the box. If you never opened the box you can now get it for $2,500."
He also has a collection of Star Wars action figures.
He collected 83 figures produced by Kenner between 1978 and 1985. Together, they are worth about $6,000 today.
Another classic toy is a 1985 GI Joe USS Flagg Aircraft Carrier which can be sold for about $1,400 on eBay.
Bambi Deville-Engeran is an expert on vintage and antique items. She recommends getting your toys appraised to get a fair price and because the price tends to vary depending on the make, model and how original and rare it is.
Another favorite memory is Cabbage Patch Kids.
Coleco's Cabbage Patch Kids in the original box, from 1984, are going for $250 on eBay.
Harbold says there's always someone willing to pay a lot of money for your toys. He says people are paying for a memory, and because they don't want to let go of their childhood.
"It's a physical manifestation of that memory. You can hold it in your hand and you get a sense of -- for me it's the plastic, for some the cloth, of whatever it was. There's something really resonant about touching that toy again," said Harbold.

Fibroid tumors affect a third of the female population in the U.S. Fibroids are benign, but in rare cases, may become cancerous. They more often cause pain, pressure and bleeding.
While many undergo surgical removal, which may mean 6 to 8 weeks of convalescence, others are candidates for Uterine Artery Embolization.
Interventional radiologist, Dr. John Blackwell of Rush Imaging Clinic, says this type of treatment has definite advantages.
"One of the benefits of this procedure is that it's minimally invasive," said Blackwell. "The recovery time is quite short. Patients can often get back to work in a week or two after this procedure's complete, whereas, with a traditional hysterectomy, it's several week of recovery afterward before they can return to full activities."
Blackwell says many women don't want to or can't miss weeks and weeks of work time. This procedure calls for a nick in the skin, rather than an incision.
"What we can do is stop the flow of blood to the uterus, and therefore the fibroids, by injecting small particles into the artery that supplies the uterus," said Blackwell. "And in doing so cause the fibroids to die and shrink over time."
Uterine Artery Embolization may not be appropriate for every patient. Blackwell encourages women to discuss the option with their obstetrician-gynecologist.
"We, of course, want to evaluate any woman pre-procedure with an ultrasound, possibly an MRI, if necessary, to make sure the anatomy is favorable for this type of treatment," Blackwell said.

Megan Turner said it best: The fourth time is the charm for the San Ramon Valley High senior soccer players.
Turner's goal in the 42nd minute earned the Wolves a 1-0 win over rival Monte Vista on Saturday evening in the North Coast Section Division I girls championship match at Dublin High.
The top-seeded Wolves, who finished the season unbeaten, collected a section-record seventh girls title, but it was their first since 2009.
That made this one extra special against the defending champion Mustangs (12-6-6), seeded second.
"It's unbelievable. I can't even describe what I feel right now," Turner said. "It feels awesome."
San Ramon Valley coach Mark Jones found his team's workmanlike effort pretty predictable.
"I think it exemplified our whole season," he said. "We possessed. We attacked. We were aggressive, and we find a way to get a goal against a really good team."
The Wolves were making their eighth consecutive appearance in the Division I championship match. They won four straight titles from 2006 to 2009.
After a scoreless first half, the Wolves (20-0-5) broke through. Turner fed the ball to Alexa Vandevanter on the right. Her low shot bounced off goalkeeper Hannah Clark, and Turner, who is headed to Stanford, pounded in the rebound. The goal appeared to wake up the Monte Vista attack.
The Mustangs nearly scored twice, including on a 40-yard Chelsea Barry free kick off the crossbar. In the final seconds after an illegal touch in the penalty box by Wolves goalkeeper Zoey Bauman, Monte Vista failed to convert.
"It was a good game," Monte Vista coach Brett LeQuesne said. "We played well. They played well. It came down to one opportunity."

Almost immediately after Art Navalta received part of his co-worker's liver back in 2005, he said he felt different.
"I started craving chocolate," Navalta said.
A treat he had only sparingly ate before the transplant.
"We both believe her love for chocolate is something I inherited and it's a good thing," Navalta said.
"I would joke with Art and I would tell him, Art, if I had known I was going to lose my love for chocolate I don't know if I would have donated," Becky Atencio joked.
Atencio talks about her friend and the donation that saved his life with a smile.
"I've told Art many, many times I would do it all over again, even knowing what I know now," Atencio said.
What she knows now is that during the transplant, the vagus nerve in her stomach was damaged. It took years for doctors to diagnose the problem. Her stomach wasn't digesting her food. For the few years Atencio has had a gastric pacemaker in her stomach, helping the muscles contract. But there's a problem.
"I have 2-3 adjustments left and after that they can't increase the intensity that is sent to my stomach," Atencio said.
Insurance isn't covering what she needs. So Atencio is looking for her own donations…dollars…up to $20,000 to help pay for an appointment at the Mayo Clinic on Valentine's Day.
"They said they do not make appointments with anyone they feel they cannot help, but my hope is that they'll have answers that these doctors don't have," Atencio said.
She has started a Facebook page for updates and donation information. Friends have opened a bank account called "Becky's Angel Fund," at the Wells Fargo at 560 Garden of the Gods Road, in Colorado Springs. A benefit concert is also in the works for Sunday, February 9th.
On Navalta's right arm he has a tattoo.
"Ang Alay, that is in Filipino, it means 'the offering'," Navalta said.
On his face, he wears another emotion when discussing what his friend is now dealing with.
"Guilt, on my part, of having been the recipient of that gift that has caused her pain," Navalta said.
Atencio has her own tattoo. It reads "Done Vida" or "Donate Life." She comforts him with this thought.
"Missionary's go out and risk their lives every day," Atencio said. "I feel that my mission was right here in my backyard and this is the outcome and I know that the lord will see me through."

This month marks twenty years since the disappearance of Irish American Annie McCarrick while she was living abroad in Dublin, Ireland. Her family as well as authorities are still at a loss regarding the mysterious disappearance.
The Irish Examiner reports on the sense of loss felt by McCarrick's remaining family in the US, as well as the equal amount of unfinished business the initial lead on the investigation, Garda Assistant Commissioner Martin Donnellan, feels.
"Girls started to disappear in this country around that time," Donnellan told John Murray on RTÉ radio on Wednesday.
Donnellan indicated that he believed McCarrick's disappearance was not an isolated incident, and was probably connected to a string of murders of other young women in Leinster between 1993 and 1998.
Donnellan explained, "There was Deirdre Jacob, only 18, who disappeared in July of 1998. She had gone to the post office in Newbridge and we had CCTV footage of her there. She walked home in broad daylight, was seen in various places, and then just disappeared. It was obvious that she had been snatched off the street."
"Then there was Jo-Jo Dullard, who went missing in 1995, also in mysterious circumstances. Added to that is the disappearance of Ciara Breen in Dundalk, Fiona Pender in Tullamore, and Fiona Sinnot in Wexford."
Donnellan said he believed at least three of the mysterious cases were connected. "All three were on their own when they disappeared," he said.
"There was never a trace of clothes found, which is unusual. In each case, the clothing the girls were wearing was very distinctive but we never came across a single item. They were each probably bundled into a car or van."
Between 1992 and 1998 seven women disappeared, which, according to Donnellan, indicates that there may be one person responsible for at least some of them.
"It means that he [the culprit] must have been in jail or had left the country after that," said Donnellan.
McCarrick, a native of Long Island in New York, was 26 years old when she disappeared. She had studied abroad in Ireland and had returned to live and work there while she researched her family's Irish roots.
McCarrick was sharing an apartment with two Irish girls in Sandymount, Dublin when she went missing. The American girl had been looking forward to a visit from her mother Nancy who was due to arrive just a few days after her disappearance.
On Friday, March 26, 1993, McCarrick didn't show up to work when she was expected to be collecting wages.
The following day, her friends grew concerned when they arrived at her apartment for a previously arranged dinner party, but there was no sign of McCarrick.
McCarrick's late father, John, had said he knew something was wrong immediately when Annie's friends in Dublin phoned back to New York saying they didn't know where Annie was.
"She was always reaching out and touching someone... She would never have gone a day without talking to someone… We were very, very concerned," her father told ABC News in America.
Former Garda Commissioner Donnellan also remembers the immediate mystery that surrounded the case. "I was off at the weekend on that Friday and Saturday, and I got a call from Irishtown station that a girl had disappeared in very mysterious circumstances."
"She was staying in a flat near Sandymount with two other girls. They were going to their homes in Cork so she was at a loose end and phoned a friend to go for a walk in Enniskerry, but her friend couldn't go so she went off alone."
McCarrick was reportedly seen and videoed on CCTV while at both an AIB and her local grocery store. After that, she took a bus to Ranelagh, and then to Enniskerry.
The final confirmed sighting of McCarrick came from a work colleague who saw her in a restaurant in Donnybrook. One person came forward to say they thought they had served her in the post office in Enniskerry, although this was never confirmed.
Another unconfirmed sighting of McCarrick was at Johnnie Fox's pub in the Dublin mountains. Sam Doran, a doorman at the pub, came forward after his colleague Paul O'Reilly pointed out McCarrick's picture in the newspapers. Doran said who he believed to be McCarrick had come to the door of the 'Hooley Room,' without realizing there was a cover charge.

Reader's Digest Files for Chapter 11, Again
Bad news keeps coming out of the magazine business.
Reader's Digest Association said in a filing late Sunday night that it is filing for bankruptcy for the second time in three and a half years.
The publisher of Reader's Digest, a staple of doctors' waiting rooms, said more than 70% of its secured noteholders have agreed to convert $465 million in debt to equity in a "prearranged" restructuring plan it hopes to complete within six months. It said it has secured a $105 million bankruptcy loan from a group of senior creditors.
Reader's Digest last filed for bankruptcy in August 2009, wiping out the investment of private-equity firm Ripplewood Holdings, which bought into the company in 2006. In 2011, it hired bankers to explore a sale, but instead divested individual publications to raise money. These included the $175 million sale of Allrecipes.com to Meredith last year and Weekly Reader to Scholastic
Des Moines, Iowa-based Meredith has recently been in the news as it is in talks with Time Warner to buy most Time Inc.'s publications, including People, InStyle and Real Simple.

Landon Rowland: The Role of Railroads in Kansas City's Development
Sunday, March 18, 2012
2:00pm @ Central Library
Landon Rowland discusses the achievements of 19th century railroad developer Arthur Stilwell, who forever changed the Kansas City area's business landscape with an ambitious program of railroad construction that made the region an important transportation hub. This is the centennial year of Stilwell's retirement – a year in which the Google Fiber network, a different kind of economic game-changer, arrives in Kansas City.
Rowland is the former president and chief executive officer of Kansas City Southern Industries and chairman emeritus of the Janus Capital Group.

Hunted man caught in chase
Published: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 10:25 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 10:25 a.m.
A man, sought after a domestic dispute Tuesday, was taken into custody after a chase involving the Laurel Park Police Department and the North Carolina Highway Patrol around 1:15 a.m. Wednesday.
The hunt was on for Raymond O'Connor, 24, of Hendersonville at about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, when police responded to a domestic dispute and learned he "brandished a weapon and fled" the scene in the Kanuga Road/Drake Street area, according to a news release from the Henderson County Sheriff's Office.
A woman involved in the dispute told police that she called O'Connor and he told her, "Go ahead and let the police shoot me — and I've taken rat poison also." Police shut down roads in the area, setting up a perimeter to search for O'Connor. Roads were reopened about an hour later as deputies continued the search on patrol.
O'Connor faces multiple charges from both incidents, including assault by pointing a gun/communicating threats, possession of a schedule II controlled substance and cruelty to animals. He is being held in the Henderson County Detention Center in lieu of a $28,500 bond.

They played some pretty random covers that have never seen the light of day during a show proper, so I recommend listening to the soundcheck too just for novelty's sake. As for the show itself... fans must have been thinking "they've GOT to play YEM today right?", given that this was the closest gig to Firenze the band would play all tour (~150 miles). And they'd go nuts in the vocal jam right? More on that later...
The Jim opener is spot on and works well, as usual. BoMD and DST are fine, but this Stash is pretty freaking great. The composed section is totally nailed, and the jam starts drifting in a sort of August '93 Stash style with undertones of DEG-like patterns and type II tomfoolery. By the 14 minute mark things are reeled back in a bit, but it's a highly percussive version of the Stash closing jam before one final build-up that Trey drives home. The rest of the set is just sort of going through the motions -- it's well played, but nothing crazy happens for the most part, though Scent of a Mule gets waaaaay the hell out there and should be checked out if you're a SoaMule fan.
The second set is really short at 51 minutes. This definitely isn't the same type of 5 song second set that would pop up in the fall (i.e. full of -> and over an hour of wall-to-wall improvisation). The opening Free is solid, and brings some filthy funk during the jam that sounds almost 2003ish. Then we get the YEM that was sure to come -- only the second of this tour actually. I can only imagine the goofy grins on people's faces who flew all the way across the world and were seeing Phish so close to Florence and hearing them sing "Wash uffize drive me to Firenze!". I don't know, maybe I think it's a lot cooler than it is, but I'd be giddy as hell. The YEM jam is funky and long, and they skip the vocal jam and instead -> Waste! Maybe they didn't want to offend any Italians in attendance with their fake Italianglish gibberish... around the 20 minute mark the mood moves from funky to spacey, maybe foreshadowing the predominant styles of Fall '97. This YEM is really great, but isn't necessary to hear by any stretch as there's nothing super unique about it except for where it was played. They end the show with three covers and we're off to France again for a chance meeting with the Flecktones.

OAKLAND -- Draymond Green's game-winning layup in Miami last season was clearly a memory-maker.
The Warriors rookie extended both arms into the air as he ran down the other end of the court. Stephen Curry jumped for joy. Golden State had stolen one from the defending NBA champion Heat.
"I hadn't won a championship since high school, but that was the closest thing I've been to it," Warriors forward Harrison Barnes said. "The whole team rushed the court, owner was on the court, partied. It was crazy. This year when we won, it was more like we went down there with a mission."
The Warriors face the Heat on Wednesday night and would like to think of themselves as having matured as a team and a franchise since that moment, with signature wins coming at a greater frequency and big-name teams merely serving as roadblocks to a better playoff seeding.
Golden State has now beaten Miami in three of the past four contests between the two teams, with Green on Tuesday downplaying the idea that the upcoming game at Oracle Arena should be seen as one that measures where the Warriors stand.
"We're going in there trying to win a basketball game," Green said.
"Going in there with a mind-set of it being a measuring-stick game I think is the completely wrong mind-set."
Instead, Green said, the Warriors should go into games with the Heat expecting to beat the defending champion especially with the game being the last one before the All-Star break.
"You want to go in with good momentum and try to roll that over out of the All-Star break," said Green, whose 31-21 team has the sixth-best record in the Western Conference.
"We have to focus in and make sure we try to make a run right before and right after."
The Warriors are expected to be without centers Andrew Bogut (shoulder) and Jermaine O'Neal (wrist) for the game, with coach Mark Jackson saying LeBron James and Dwyane Wade would attack the paint either way.
"They bring the same challenges with or without Andrew," Jackson said. "This is a team that's in attack mode. They've got great finishers. If you turn the ball over, it's a slam dunk or a lob on the other end.
"The bonus would be having Andrew there to protect the paint, but we've seen how great those guys are. They can still be spectacular in spite of a big-time paint defender. We've got our hands full."
The last time the two teams met, Golden State won 123-114 in Miami as Curry scored 36 points and David Lee added 32.
Lee practiced a day after returning to the court and playing through a sprained shoulder and strained hip and could get the start at center for a second straight game.
And Jackson said he hoped that time off for Bogut and O'Neal would allow the rested players and the rest of the team to "take off running" after the All-Star break.
The Heat, which has the second-best record in the Eastern Conference, will play the night after its game at Phoenix.
"Individually and collectively they're a championship team," Jackson said.
"They play with an edge. They're a tight-knit group. Obviously, they're well aware of what took place in South Beach."
Bogut said Jackson assumed he might have injured the left shoulder while sleeping based on a conversation with the head trainer, who had been told by the player he had woken up to find the shoulder in worse pain after playing through it for a game.
Bogut, who said an MRI revealed a bone bruise and swelling but no structural damage, called the Jackson sleeping comment "absolutely ridiculous" before missing Tuesday's game and then later getting to the bottom of what Jackson told the station was a "misunderstanding."
"I don't think he meant anything by it," Bogut, who is expected to miss a fourth straight game, said of Jackson.
Said Jackson: "If this is considered major issue, then I think we're fine because we've seen major issues in sports and in Warrior land."
Miami (36-14) at Warriors (31-21), 7:30 p.m., CSNBA

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that's here with your Monday morning dose of comic relief from all this political doom and gloom.
Folks, it's been a long election season, and, at this point, if you're not convinced the world is ending, you're not paying attention. So let's lighten the mood just a bit.
We're Summit Up, and we approved this message:
We've decided that from now on, we're going to answer all questions like a politician, partly because it's funny and partly because we are listening to the candidates so much on TV and on the radio that it's hard not to start sounding like them.
Go ahead, let's try it. Ask us a question.
MILLIONS OF SUMMIT UP READERS: OK, here goes. Summit Up, what are you doing this weekend?
SUMMIT UP: That's a great question and an important one. And we WILL do something this weekend. But let us take a step back and answer a broader question: what are we all doing this weekend? As a nation? As a world? This weekend, we will do something comprehensive and robust, yet productive and with an eye to our future.
MSUR: But what are you doing?
SU: Our plan is threefold. First, it will be relaxing. Second, it will be enjoyable. Finally, we will ensure it is cost-effective so that we continue to strengthen our economy and avoid growing our deficit. Four weeks ago, we said we'd do something and we did. This weekend will be no different.
MSUR: Brilliant, you've got our vote.
SU: Why thank you, but before you start fact-checking us, we must admit that we stole this little gem from a friend who says she also borrowed the material from an unidentified meme.
That's about all we've got for you today folks. Enjoy your Monday.
We out.

If American business is as innovative and adaptable as Republican politicians say it is, why do we hear so many complaints that business can't efficiently deal with most regulations?
That question is going to be harder to answer in light of THIS NEW STUDY:
It�s one of the oldest right-wing claims: �Excessive� regulation will harm job creators and kill the economy. But is it based on sound economics?
One new study, which�examines this particular argument, finds it absurd on its face. Taylor Lincoln, who authored the report for Public Citizen, tells Salon the goal was to �point out hypocrisy ...

Barbara Wolff is a talented young doctor who has applied for an exit visa from the GDR and, as punishment, has been transferred from her prestigious post in Berlin to a small pediatric hospital in the country. Even though she is constantly aware of the shadowy presence of, and overwhelming numbers of Stasi officers chronicling her every move, every waking hour, she arrives at her new post having already planned a series of dangerous assignations with her lover, with whom she plans to escape to the West, to Poland. A story of self-sacrifice and freedom and quiet heroism at a time and place when such values are at a premium. It is also about a healer whose morality and set of personal ethics are being called into questions by circumstances specific to that same time and place in history. Opening at West End and Angelika Mosaic.
Watch the trailer here!
Based on the true story of one family's survival of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, THE IMPOSSIBLE stars Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor and is directed by J.A. Bayona (THE ORPHANAGE). Maria (Watts), Henry (McGregor) and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand, looking forward to a few days in tropical paradise. But on the morning of December 26th, as the family relaxes around the pool after their Christmas festivities the night before, a terrifying roar rises up from the center of the earth.

it was colin and raven. oteezy you're a tool, paddling into waves like that with 40+mph offshores wouldn't be enjoyable without a ski. you are a hater my friend.
towing into head high waves allows you to surf long without getting tired haha! get a life oteezy!
yeah harry
[QUOTE=oteezy;144915]the wild lyfe crew? oh you mean the guys who tow into head high waves?

Hide behind your computer screen and hate. We'll be in the barrel.
grapefruit sized cajones...just sayin
[QUOTE=Colin Herlihy;144936]
I get in the barrel on my own power. You do it behind a ski on waves that Hawaiians and Californians (you know, people who actually ride big waves) would laugh at. Congratulations, you went out during a hurricane. Some people may call that respectful, I call it idiocy.
Like I said, you tow in when it's head high. You're an asshat.
Actually I live on the West Coast. What wildlyfe guys have to tow into, people out here consider to be average size surf.
ah then you probably have no frame of reference as to what they actually did. did you see it breaking on the cams at all? The period was so short there was no way to paddle out. plus there was no channel to provide safety then throw in some insane offshores. the pic only shows size, not the total picture of the actual conditions.

With a rapidly growing economy and a diverse energy portfolio, Brazil is a country to watch with regards to renewable energy, ranking third behind the United States and Canada in terms of energy sector size in North America. It is estimated that the Brazilian economy will grow 5 percent per year between 2010 and 2020, requiring significant investments in energy infrastructure to meet demand.
Thanks to its many large rivers, Brazil utilizes renewable hydroelectric energy to meet over 80 percent of its electricity demand, with an additional 6 percent coming from biofuel and wind energy. Brazil is the second largest producer of ethanol in the world after the United States due to its large sugar cane crop, and its wind energy market is growing at a fast pace.In 2012 alone, 40 new wind farms came online, and the Brazilian government has set a goal of achieving 16GW of wind energy capacity by 2020.
ACORE has an interest in promoting and expanding the renewable energy industry in Brazil and building lasting relationships between the industries in Brazil and the U.S.

|Reply about hipster PDA : E-Mail from Christopher Allan Webber (LifeHacks)
1. How I use my Hipster PDA
After all my experiments with wearable computing using a one-handed chording keyboard and a speech synthesizer, I've found that the most portable device for me is still a 3x5 pack of index cards bound with a fold-back clip. Jokingly dubbed the "Hipster PDA" elsewhere on the Net, this low-tech device is surprisingly flexible and easy to use. I use mine to keep track of tasks and random notes for later entry into my online planner.
My Hipster PDA is composed of:
- a colored index card with my contact information
- my inbox: cards with notes on them that haven't been entered into the computer
- two pages of month templates from a 3x5 day planner
- a year calendar for 2005 and 2006
- my archive: index cards that have already been entered but might still be useful
- a colored index card with yellow sticky notes
- a stack of blank index cards
- a fold-back clip holding all of these things together
- a black signpen or a mechanical pencil tucked into the fold-back clip
One of the things I've found much easier to do with my 3x5 pack of cards than with a PDA or a Franklin-Covey planner is to keep track of get-togethers. When my friends and I schedule our next get-together, I lay the month templates out so that I can see the next 30 days at a glance. This is difficult to do with a PDA because PDA screens are small. A Franklin-Covey planner would probably be more organized, but I like being able to lay things out side-by-side instead of flipping through pages.
When I need to jot something down, I flip the deck and write on the last card. After I finish one side of the card, I turn it over, clip it, and write on the other side. When the whole card is full, I move it into my inbox.
Index cards are handy because it's easy to give information away to other people. Paper gets crumpled and business cards can disappear into the chaos of a purse or a bag. An index card is big and bright. I'm thinking of replacing half of my white cards with brightly-colored cards so that people can easily find information I give them.
I'm planning to do other things with my pack of 3x5 index cards. For example, I can write my projects on the cards. Reviewing these cards will reinforce these goals in my mind and remind me to keep making progress.
Index cards totally rock.

SAN FRANCISCO -- This is the Giants' World Series now, and if you think they are ever letting go, you haven't been watching them lately.
This is the Giants' World Series, from the first tense at-bat to the roaring last out and all the unbelievable, mesmerizing, quirky moments in between.
This is theirs, all theirs -- this series has the Giants' tone, energy, mood and rhythm.
The Giants have taken the first two games over Detroit, they have two more victories to go, and all omens and indications point to the pure inevitability of another Giants title, another Champagne celebration and another parade.
Of course, the Giants can't say or even really think any of this yet. That's not their style.
After their taut 2-0 victory Thursday at AT&T Park, they made sure to keep calm and even-keeled.
"You can't count anybody out -- I mean, look at what we were able to do the last couple rounds," closer Sergio Romo said, referring to the Giants' big comebacks over Cincinnati and St. Louis. "You definitely can't count that (Tigers) team out. ... But we like our position, we like our chances, the way our team's fought. ... Yeah, we definitely like our chances."
In this series, the Giants are pitching better, including Madison Bumgarner's magnificent seven shutout innings Thursday, bouncing back from his recent struggles.
The Giants are putting together more offense, including scoring both of their runs Thursday on outs.
And the Giants are finding the right pieces and plugging them in at the right time, just as they did in 2010.
That's when, as you remember, they went up 2-0 at home and won the World Series in five games over the Texas Rangers.
"It's not over yet," second baseman Marco Scutaro cautioned. "Those guys over there, if they get hot, they can do a lot of damage.
"We just need to keep fighting."
But right now, the Giants have a few things going for them -- the victories, the emotion, the execution and the momentum.
And the Giants are fighters, too, as St. Louis and Cincinnati can attest.
On Thursday, the Giants also had Detroit's elite hitters, Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder, twisting and contorting in frustration after failing to push across runs time and again.
And after Barry Zito and Bumgarner captured Games 1 and 2, now the Giants have their two grittiest starters, Ryan Vogelsong and Matt Cain, set up to pitch Games 3 and 4 in Detroit.
"(Vogelsong and Cain are) the two pitchers who have meant so much to us in big-game situations," reliever Jeremy Affeldt said. "It's not bad to say that we are in a really good spot being up 2-0 with two of our strongest starters (set to go)."
By the way, dating to their 2010 victory over Texas, the Giants are 6-1 in their past two World Series appearances.
Something about the World Series suits them.
After the angst of the Giants' first two rounds this year, the World Series has taken on a crisper, sharper feel for them.
It's the Giants tightening up, making the great defensive plays and doing just enough offensively to win these games.
On Thursday, Detroit's best scoring chance came in the second inning when Bumgarner hit Fielder with a pitch to lead off the inning and Delmon Young promptly rocketed a double down the left-field line.
Fielder chugged around third, got the "go" sign, and then was thrown out at home by Scutaro -- the secondary relay man.
The Giants made the play, their opponent did not, a very familiar and poignant playoff story.
And though Detroit starter Doug Fister pitched beautifully, the Giants nudged across a run in the seventh -- Hunter Pence scored when Brandon Crawford hit into a double play -- and that was all that was necessary.
"That's what it takes -- when you see a team win a World Series, there are a lot of things that have to go right," Affeldt said. "Ball's got to bounce your way; we've seen that. You've got to have different pitchers step up. You're going to have the unsung hero, the guy no one thought was going to do anything do something great.
"You're seeing that, and you're seeing guys that maybe were struggling a little bit all of a sudden step up and do it."
They keep doing it. They keep winning series. They are a form of baseball inevitability now -- the Giants are getting the breaks and making their own breaks and just are a superior team.
This is their series. This is who they are. There are two more victories to get, but in many broader ways, the Giants are much more than halfway there already.

WATCH: Muslims blast 'blasphemous' Katy Perry video
Posted February 27th, 2014 @ 9:31am by Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – More than 65,000 people have signed apetition calling for YouTube to take down Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" music video because it portrays "blasphemy." A Muslim man started the petition because the video featured one man, a suitor to Perry's Egyptian queen character, wearing a pendant featuring the word "Allah," the BBC reports. Perry's character disintegrates her suitors, burning the man and his pendant. "Blasphemy is clearly conveyed in the video, since Katy Perry (who appears to be representing an opposition of God) engulfs the believer and the word God in flames," the petition reads. While the video remains online, Fox News reports that the word "Allah" has been removed from the pendant in response to the petition.

For many Bay Area businesses, navigating complex accounting and regulatory reporting requirements can be arduous and a little terrifying.
That's where RoseRyan, a Newark-based finance and accounting consulting firm, comes in. For 21 years, it has helped hundreds of local tech, life-science and other companies take their first tentative steps as startups, launch initial public offerings, handle mergers and grow to corporate powerhouses.
Starting the company with herself and one other person, co-founder and CEO Kathy Ryan now oversees a workforce of about 65 finance and accounting experts and boasts clients ranging from Facebook, Zynga and Symantec to Gilead Sciences, Kaiser Permanente and The Gap. She talked about her business in an interview that was edited for length and clarity.
Q: What sort of help do you provide your clients?
A: Strategic finance expertise, reporting to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, business transactions -- whether it's in mergers and acquisitions, or initial public offerings -- Sarbanes—Oxley, (the 2002 federal law that imposed extensive reporting rules on public companies), their corporate-governance type work. We have a real breadth of experience that we provide. These companies either don't have that expertise in-house or they need to supplement the expertise that they do have. Especially for the small businesses, the start-up companies. They don't need full-time staff, so we are their accounting and finance department.
Q: Do you get any clients from outside of the Bay Area?
A: Every now and then. We have some foreign companies. But the main piece of the business is here in Silicon Valley. The mid market is our big sweet spot, so we're not at the really huge companies. They have people on the bench that can help them, but a lot of companies don't.
Q: How is your company different from others in your field?
A: Some of our competitors might only focus on startup companies or they might only do Sarbanes—Oxley or they might only do an IPO transaction. We can span the whole life-cycle of a corporation. I have chief financial officers, controllers, directors of finance -- people who used to do those jobs who have moved into consulting and who find the work that we do here at RoseRyan exciting. It's challenging and it's a learning environment still.
Q: You're not a certified public accounting firm, correct?
A: I have lots of CPAs who work for us. But we are not a CPA firm, so I don't do audits and I don't do taxes. I had done that already. I worked for Price Waterhouse, and I did audit and tax there. That's just not the kind of firm I wanted to be. I wanted to be able to go into companies and help them with all of their different needs. We make sure that everything (in their finances) is clean. So that makes the auditors happy and it makes the clients happy.
Q: Can you talk a bit about how your career has evolved?
A: I mentioned I was at Price Waterhouse, and that's where you can juggle many clients. But also I was very involved at Quantum on cross-functional teams that ran different businesses, and it was a blast. I got to see the business from the engineering, marketing and quality sides. After I started the business here, for the first 12 years I was doing the interim CFO work for a lot of startups. I had like six or seven clients I was juggling all the time. But it was fun. You're treated as part of the executive team, and so you are a part of the business.
Q: Are you hiring?
A: We're definitely hiring now. We are always looking for what we call A players. That's people who not only know their accounting and their finance, they also have to be self-managed, because they often are out with the client by themselves. And more than anything, they have to have great soft skills. They have to be able to communicate well, they have to be able to fit into a company's culture. You can't go in and be condescending. You've got to get people on your side, because you've got to work with them. It's an art, and it's a thing that people have to learn. This kind of talent is hard to find, so we're very picky about who we bring in.

The Hesston Chamber of Commerce heard from Hesston Community Foundation Director Susan Lamb during the monthly luncheon on Thursday, Aug. 22.
Lamb discussed the challenge of wealth drain from small communities and the role of community foundations in preserving the wealth of a community and reinvesting in small towns.
"You have an elderly person who has lived in a community their whole life, and they die. Their children moved out of town after college. The kids come back, grieve with the community, make funeral and burial arrangements, see the final details of the estate worked out and - right before they leave town - they close out the bank accounts, life insurance policies and other assets and leave town with the money. That is wealth drain," said Lamb.
Lamb said Community Foundations are a way to combat wealth drain.
"It is estimated that 177,000 Kansans will die in this decade. That is almost $80 billion in estates. The goal of a small community foundation is we want 5 percent of that money to stay in the community," said Lamb.

HAWLEY - Simon Knox, director of the Downtown Hawley Partnership (DHP), gave an update about the Main Street Matters program run by the Benjamin Moore paint company at the Hawley Council meeting April 9. The project is set to take place this Spring, with a completion date and closing celebration anticipated Friday, June 13.
Invitations have been sent to prospective painting and repair contractors to bid. DHP contacted the Wayne County Builders Association and the newspapers in Hawley and Honesdale. Bids are due April 21st.
The Benjamin Moore representative came the week before, and obtained approval signatures from 20 of the 22 participating building owners on Main Avenue. They are waiting for the last two to sign.
Commercial facades on Main Avenue between River and Church will be repainted, and minor repairs done. Benjamin Moore is taking care of the first floor, which the is the prize for Hawley winning the firm's Main Street Matters contest last year. A state grant is enabling those property owners to complete the remainders of the facades, up to a set dollar level.
Benjamin Moore requires a closing public relations celebration. A brunch will be held that morning and a "first paint stroke" picture staged. A portion of Keystone Street was asked to be closed for tents to be set up. Company officials will be on hand, and Council is invited. Mayor Kevin Hawk's presence is requested.
In tandem, the Borough plans to introduce sidewalk accessory improvements including new benches, the same day. Paid from left-over funds from the state grant that funded the recent sidewalk upgrade.
DHP aimed to have the project completed before the height of the summer season. Benjamin Moore first wanted to have the job done in March but local officials had great concerns over late winter weather.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Dec. 23, 2010 - This year marks the 25th anniversary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Conservation Reserve Program. The Food Security Act of 1985 established the CRP, arguably the greatest landscape-level conservation program ever. The act created CRP initially to reduce soil erosion on highly erodible lands and protect our nation's long-term capacity to produce food and fiber. However, over the years, Congress expanded the purposes of the program to improve water quality and provide wildlife habitat.
"Ducks Unlimited appreciates the support and commitment shown by the USDA during the past 25 years in successfully administering one of the best conservation programs in the history of this great country," said Dale Hall, Ducks Unlimited's chief executive officer. "The CRP is critical for maintaining waterfowl populations and our rich waterfowl hunting traditions. DU looks forward to working with Congress and the administration to chart a successful course for CRP's next 25 years."
Today, more than 31 million acres are enrolled in CRP and many species of wildlife have benefited tremendously, including waterfowl. In the Prairie Pothole Region, 6.8 million acres are currently enrolled, providing critical nesting habitat for ducks and other grassland nesting birds. In addition, landowners have restored more than 2 million acres of wetlands and adjacent upland habitats through the CRP. The majority of these wetlands are located in the PPR.
The benefits to waterfowl populations have been tremendous. Researchers from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the USDA estimate the PPR landscape, with the current level of CRP enrollment, produces 30 percent more ducks than a similar landscape without CRP.
Landowners and taxpayers have also benefited. CRP rental payments provide landowners with a stable income source, and, to date, the USDA has provided more than $38 billion in rental payments. According to researchers, CRP annually helps improve water quality by reducing erosion by nearly 450 million tons, sediment by more than 215 million tons, nitrogen by more than 600 million pounds and phosphorus by more than 120 million pounds.
Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 12 million acres, thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

No surprise about his views on Ygritte, or the fact that in the lands beyond the Wall, life is harsh, real, and occasionally violent. He praises Simon Armstrong for his portrayal of Qhorin Halfhand, which is excellent to hear—Qhorin's absolutely a fan-favorite, and Armstrong's performance will have quite a few eager eyes.

An engrossing and fact-filled collection of the great screwups of the Great War
Never had there been a war on the scale of World War II--a global conflict so widespread and involving so many different military organizations from such a diverse pool of combatant countries that the consequences of every decision, both the brilliant and the bad, were multiplied one hundredfold. Bill Fawcett, popular chronicler of monumental military mistakes and truly boneheaded battlefield blunders now looks closely at the historic errors that ultimately determined the course of post-WWII history.
A cornucopia of catastrophic missteps, including: An unprepared Poland is caught napping as the Nazis storm in virtually unopposed Germany misses a golden opportunity to take Britain out of the war at Dunkirk Russia plays Goliath to Finland's David Four valuable months are wasted as Allied forces sit trapped on the beaches of Anzio Germany squanders its costly development of jet powerThe secret 1942 battle Marshal Zhukov lost, along with half a million soldiersBattles lost that should have been won, including Moscow, Stalingrad, and D-Day.
Praise For…
"Fawcett gathers 37 concise, analytical, finger-pointing accounts of these and other battles from ancient times to the late 1960s. He and contributors Brian Thomsen, William R. Forstchen, Douglas Niles and Edward E. Kramer readably and insightfully convey a wide knowledge of military history."
-Publishers Weekly
"Informative and enjoyable...This book will appeal to both general readers and amateur military historians."
"I recommend it to the armchair strategist and indeed to any student of military history over the ages."

Peruvian Domestic Law Aspects of the La Brea Y Pariñas Controversy
Dale Beck Furnish
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Kentucky Law Journal, Vol. 59, p. 351, 1970
In the renowned La Brea y Parinas controversy, the North American public has consistently assumed, Professor Furnish says, that Peru acted arbitrarily in effectively rendering the International Petroleum Corporation (IPC) without compensation for the expropriated oilfield. The legal mechanism utilized was granting IPC compensatory damages, but offsetting the award with a restitutionary claim for the deletion of the resources of the tract by IPC under a claim of title which Peru deems invalid. It is Professor Furnish's view, elaborated in this article, that there is a solid basis in Peruvian domestic law for most of what Peru has done in this affair.

Paget's disease is a bone condition that
results in enlarged and deformed bones. It is a
condition. Any bone in the body can be affected. However, the most common sites are the spine, skull, pelvis, thighs, and lower legs.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Paget's disease is caused by a malfunction in bone formation. Normally, bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt. With Paget's disease, bones are broken down abnormally fast, and new bone replacement is loose and bulky, instead of strong and compact. These poorly formed bones may become weak. They also may bend over time.
The exact cause of this bone malformation is unknown. Paget's disease may be triggered early in life by a viral infection.
Paget's disease is more common in people of Northern European descent and those who are 55 years of age and older.
Other factors that may increase your risk of Paget's disease include:
Most people with Paget's disease don't have symptoms. For those with symptoms, Paget's disease may cause:
Paget's disease that involves the skull may cause:
Paget's disease doesn't spread to other bones, but the symptoms do get worse over time.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor will order a blood test.
Imaging tests take pictures of internal body structures. These are done with:
It is best to begin treatment as soon as possible. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you.
Medications for Paget's disease include:
Surgery may be required if you have one of the following conditions:
Recommendations include:
There are no current guidelines to prevent the onset of Paget's disease. People with primary family members who have Paget's disease are encouraged to have a
blood test every 2-3 years after age 40.

For many years there's been a lot of discussion about alternative fuels and a lot of research has been done on the subject, but a Texas A&M chemical engineer is very close to having a commercially viable process to convert bio-mass into gasoline and jet fuel.
His blue print for the project was a cow.
"What happens when a cow eats food, is it makes organic acids, primarily vinegar, inside the rumen of the cow, and the cow extracts that vinegar into the blood stream, so a cow is a vinegar powered creature."
Mark Holtzapple is a chemical engineering professor at Texas A&M University.
"So I said as a chemical engineer if I could take that process that's naturally occurring in the cow and just scale that up, it seems like it would be much simpler and more robust than the technologies that most people are pursuing which require the use of expensive enzymes and sterile operating conditions."
In contrast to ethanol production that uses corn or grain that is also used for food, Holtzapple's process to make fuel from bio-mass can use anything that will decompose when it's set outside.
"We can use any feed stock. Anything that's biodegradable can go into our process. That includes things like sewage sludge, manure, chicken manure is what we often use. We can use municipal solid waste, food scraps, agricultural residues like corn stover or sorghum straw, energy crops like miscanthus or energy cane."
And, unlike ethanol, the fuel produced is not simply an additive that makes a gallon of gas go further.
"We'll actually make two fuels, jet fuel which is similar to kerosene, and we'll make gasoline, and he idea is to make these fuels nearly identical to what we're making from petroleum, so that when you put it into your tank, you really don't care whether it's bio-fuel or petroleum derived fuels, it behaves the same in your automobile."
Holtzapple has been working on this process for twenty years, and expects it will be commercially available in another ten years.
"When I got started on this I said, well this will be my life's work, and little did I realize, it really is going to be my life's work."

We reduce our need for new natural resources, carefully monitor economic progress and risks, and respect the communities that depend on us.
Sustainability is important to Canon. For us, it involves focussing on reducing environmental impact; engaging with communities; and supporting wider economic growth. Alongside this, we anticipate and comply with regulations and standards and even look to exceed them where possible.
Corporate responsibility
We take responsibility for our impacts and follow fair operating practices. Our commitment to sustainability is focused in three key areas: Environment, Society and Business.

United Nations Global Compact Canon Europe has signed up to the United Nations Global Compact (January 2014), committing to its 10 universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. Our participation formalises the approach we already take to embed sustainability into our strategy, culture and business.
Sustainable growth
Our long-term plan is to operate three regional headquarters in Europe, USA and Japan including research and development centres and manufacturing capabilities in each region. The European regional headquarters went live from 1 January 2013, with employees split across four locations at Canon Europe Limited, London, UK; Canon Europa N.V., Amstelveen, Netherlands; and former Océ sites at Venlo, Netherlands and Poing, Germany.

With low temperatures forecasted to once again drop below 35 degrees for three or more hours tomorrow night, March 10, and Friday night, March 11, a team of area human service agencies, local government and the faith-based community will once again open the temporary cold night shelter, located at the former Belle Vue Middle School, 2214 Belle Vue Way.
Any adult who needs temporary shelter from cold weather at nighttime may stay at the Belle Vue shelter, which will be open tomorrow evening and Friday evening. The temporary cold night shelter, which is located in the school's gymnasium, is coordinated by the Big Bend Homeless Coalition. It opens at 8 p.m. and remains open overnight, closing the following morning at 7 a.m.
The facility is open to adults only. A temporary shelter telephone line, (850) 205-6030, offers a recording of the cold night shelter's status on any given evening. Families with children are advised to proceed to The Shelter, located at 480 W. Tennessee St.
StarMetro, the City of Tallahassee's mass transit system, provides transportation between The Shelter on West Tennessee Street and the temporary location at Belle Vue Middle School, when open. Two trips are scheduled, with departures from The Shelter at 8:30 p.m. and a second at 9:30 p.m. if required. Return trips to The Shelter from the temporary location depart the following morning at 6:30 a.m. and 7 a.m.
Volunteers from the local faith-based community continue to provide assistance at the Belle Vue location. Snacks and water will be available for those staying the night.

Dark Circles and Puffy Undereye Bags Bumming You Out? Technology to the Rescue
An avant-garde Taiwanese gadget is purported to cure all that ails your eyes
We are not making this up. According to the thoroughly fact-checked Wall Street Journal, a company called Tokuyo -- just one of many firms that produce eye-massaging contraptions in Taiwan -- has seen sales skyrocket over the last six months or so.
"We�ve been selling eye massagers for years with steady sales, but this year there has been a noticeable jump in demand," a sales manager tells the paper. He also thinks he understands why. "We believe it is because more people have tired eyes from looking at screens all day."
In fact, so many Taiwanese suffer from computer, tablet and Smartphone eyestrain and resulting dark circles and undereye bags that more and more companies are jumping on the electronic goggle bandwagon manufacturing models that boast an dizzying array of bells and whistles. From styles that can play soothing music as they "massage," to ones that incorporate eyeball acupuncture (!), these doodads are flying off shelves.
READ: These Women WANT Bags Under Their Eyes
Of course, as with most Sharper Image/Sky Mall type gadgets, the efficacy of the experience with these massagers can vary greatly and the "science" behind the concept may seem more steeped in Sci-Fi novella-ese than actual physiological facts. Then again, with sales skyrocketing, they may just be on to something.
Would you be willing to try a pair to see if it rendered reasonable results? You can scoop 'em up on Ebay for a mere $53.80 plus shipping. (Or, you could just try one of these really great undereye creams.)
