is used to remove a stone that:
During this procedure, the doctor uses a special machine to direct shock waves at the stone. The waves pass through the soft tissues of the body. They shatter the hard stone on contact and pulverize it into smaller particles that can be passed in the urine more easily. A sedative or anesthesia is used to prevent pain during the procedure. ESWL takes anywhere from 45-60 minutes to complete. You will probably resume normal activities in 1-2 days. You may need to have several of these procedures before your stone is small enough to pass.
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
If you are pregnant, ESWL cannot be done.

BERKELEY -- Nothing is settled, but for perhaps the first time on Monday coach Sonny Dykes suggested a leader in the quarterback battle.
"Looks a little bit like Zach Kline is starting to get a little bit more settled in," Dykes said of the redshirt freshman from San Ramon Valley High in Danville. "I've seen him kind of make a move here over the last two practices."
Kline, freshman Jared Goff and junior Austin Hinder have battled throughout the spring and shared reps. Cal has two more practices -- Wednesday and Friday -- before closing down for the offseason with its spring game on Saturday.
Asked if he has any clarity on the quarterback picture, Dykes initially said, "I'm liking what I'm seeing from all of them."
Then he singled out Kline.
"His reads are happening a little faster, seems like he's a little more accurate on his midrange throws than he was," Dykes said. "I saw some of that in the scrimmage Saturday and it carried over to practice today.
"I think he's improved and getting better and better. It's good to see that."
Kline said he hasn't been given any indication by the coaching staff that he has perhaps moved to the head of the class.
"Can't really pay attention to anything, unless it's constructive criticism," he said. "Just got to keep doing what you're doing, day in and day out."
But Kline did say he is seeing the game better now.
"Oh yeah, totally. I'm feeling like this is my offense now. I'm feeling like this is my team now," he said. "I'm comfortable in it. Coming off being a redshirt freshman last year and being new to everything, you just feel like you're part of the team.
"Now I feel like this is my team, this is family."
Kline said he wasn't satisfied with his scrimmage performance on Saturday but is excited about the spring game.
"A lot of growing to do. Right now I'm just trying to get better each day. Last scrimmage, I tried to make the most of it -- be consistent with the ball, just put the ball in the end zone," he said.
"I wish I did better. I've always got to be the toughest critic -- that's how you become a great quarterback."
Dykes said all three quarterbacks are beginning to understand how to use their velocity appropriately.
As he's done throughout spring ball, Kline said the competition is fierce, and he doesn't expect the battle to be settled until fall camp.
"Everyone's making their reads, everyone's doing well. There's no weak links in this competition," he said. "This is going to definitely be a battle, right up to the first week (of the season). This is not a sprint, it's a marathon.
"But you do want to have a good start."

A speech by President Obama to students via the Internet Tuesday caused a controversy, locally and around the nation.
When the president announced he'd be giving that speech a couple of weeks ago, many conservative parents feared that it would be a case of political indoctrination.
Former presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush also spoke to students during their presidencies.
Local school officials got plenty of calls about the speech, but went ahead with making it available to students anyway.
"Yeah, it was controversial," said Lauderdale County superintendent Randy Hodges. "I would say last Thursday and Friday, we did have some concerns and some calls, which surprised us."
With that surprise, Lauderdale County schools decided to give students and their parents the option of watching the speech.
"As a school district, we definitely wanted to present it, but we would honor the request of a parent if they chose not to," said Hodges.
After reviewing the script of the speech, county administration felt like students would benefit from it. They reassured one skeptical parent that the speech seemed to offer students motivation.
"And we assured her that we had read the script and felt confident that it was quality information and a good opportunity," said Clarkdale principal Cheryl Thomas.
With the controversy, the heart of the speech was almost lost, the children. One student from Clarkdale High School reacted positively to the words of the president.
"I thought that it was a good speech to help encourage everyone around the nation to stay in school and try to get a quality education to make their lives better in the future," said Henry Scott.
Parents may have worried about the purpose of the president's speech, but some students thought it was rather neat.
"It makes me feel that he cares about us and he wants us to try to do good to make us better."
As President Obama put it, "where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up."

By Gary Koehler, Senior DU Magazine Writer
With hunting season just around the corner, it's important to make sure our retrievers are ready for action. The following is a brief refresher course, per Mike Stewart's instruction, on how you might start readying your dog for what everyone hopes to be a banner hunting season. Most tips best apply to retrievers that have had at least some previous training.
Basic obedience should be an integral part of your off-season training. Heel, sit, stay, whistle, and steadying drills should all be addressed. In addition, since duck hunters often tromp through water of varying depth, Stewart believes in training retrievers to heel in water-keeping the dog under control while you are wading. "We will take puppies and heel them so that when they are in, say, deep water situations, they are by our side," Stewart says. "We want that dog to hover." Like duck hunters, retrievers often are required to sit still for extended stretches of time. "We also teach the dogs to sit on stumps, on water stands, and in water for long periods," Stewart says. "These are obedience drills, and summer, in water, is an excellent time to work on those things."
"Some people think they can get their dog in shape by repetitively throwing bumpers. But that's really counterproductive to steadiness," Stewart says. And steadiness, according to Stewart, is critical to your dog's development. He employs a number of methods when teaching steadiness. One technique is linked to clay target shooting. Stewart will bring together three or four gunners and their dogs and position them either on buckets (like a dove shoot) or in simulated blinds. Clay targets are launched. Once every five or six shots, a bumper will be tossed. But only one dog will be sent to retrieve the bumper. Each dog is allowed only two or three retrieves per outing.
This exercise also reinforces honoring. Stewart sometimes uses mechanical bumper/bird launchers. The dog is taught not to seek out the bumper until after getting the OK from the handler. If your dog has a propensity to bolt at the site of a rising bumper, or at the sound of a gun shot, attach a lead to the retriever's collar and steady the animal the next time a bumper goes up or a shot is fired. A couple of jerks on the lead may be required before the retriever learns that it is not supposed to flee until after being released by the handler.
Marking drills need not be done in open fields or big stretches of open water. "Once a dog is using its eyes and marking well, it doesn't take any more than from two to six good marks a day and the dog is back on it," Stewart says. "What you should be doing is more complex marks, like in woodlands. People do not spend enough time on that." Stewart suggests tossing bumpers from fields into cover, or from cover into fields. "Get the dog tuned up to hunt the cover, to hunt the grass at the edge of water," Stewart says. "Teach the dog to get into that cover, because if a duck is shot or wounded, it will usually head toward cover." Do not forget marks that require the dog going over barriers. "I would do some marks across ditches, across fences, and across water," Stewart says. "That's what the dog is going to have to deal with in the field."

Federer begins year on high note (The Province)
World No. 2 Roger Federer began his season in formidable fashion by beating Nikolay Davydenko 6-3, 6-4 to win the Qatar Open on Saturday. Federer did not drop a set throughout the tournament, and is looking good heading into the Australian Open, which begins Jan. 17. "I'm very happy to kick off the season today this way," Federer said. "I think I played an amazing match ... it will give me a lot of confidence for the remainder of the season."
'Flawless' Roger Federer sends ominous warning to Rafael Nadal (Herald Sun)
Roger Federer has sent a warning to his rivals ahead of his Australian Open defence, starting next week. Opening the new season as he ended the last, the Swiss master declared himself "almost flawless" after winning his third Qatar Open in Doha yesterday. The world No. 2 wrested the Qatar title back from the defending champion, Russia's Nikolay Davydenko, 6-3 6-4 to earn his 67th crown. Federer will practise on Rod Laver Arena this week before seeking a record 17th major singles success. "It is important to do well here," Federer said after dispensing with Davydenko in Doha. "I'm not just using this to get ready for the Australian Open. "When he's on, he's easily top 10 if not top 5 potentially, and that's why this is obviously a huge win, because I thought he was playing well. I thought the level of play was extremely high. I was very happy with it from my side. I was almost flawless and I was able to play offensive when I needed to and, when I wanted to, it all worked out.So I'm really pleased with such a great final."
Federer king for third time in Qatar (Gulf Times)
Roger Federer became the first man to win three titles in Doha when he outclassed Nikolay Davydenko in the final of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex. " Yeah, I think this is the best I have played against Davydenko. I mean, look, I think his serve has very much improved over the years and he's become so solid and so, how do you say, just accurate with his shots over the years," said Federer who noted that the Russian had won several titles. The authoritative victory also puts Federer in an excellent frame of mind to defend his title at the Australia Open in a week's time. "I mean, people almost put too much of an emphasis that it's purely a preparation tournament, and I don't like to see it that way, because regardless of how I go here, I still have a week in Melbourne where I'll prepare for the Australian Open. That's preparation week for me. It was important to do well here. I'm not just only using this to get ready for the Australian Open. This is a pleasure coming to this part of the world where I actually do spend quite a bit of time, and I've always had, you know, good friends here in Qatar. I love playing here, been successful here in the past. That's the reason why I come here, not because of the Australian Open really."
Exactly! That's fun and joy of watching tennis.
God luck in Australia!
You are the champion!!
You have all the support of us !!
:) We Love you !!
The best wishes for the 2011!
Of course my love you're right it was important to win the tournament by itself, it was a great event at a beautiful place; all my best wishes for your preparation week at Melbourne.
And I agree with all the comments you played fabulous!
Take care and stay peaceful.
I love you very much…
Isabel. :)
TV was right too, like EUROSPORT.
They chose Nadal as Year Sportman Nr 4.
They chose Roger Federer as Year Sportman Nr 2 (after Usain Bolt).
YES, between Nadal's overpower and brute force and RF's creative capacity, innovative ability, unlimited variation, undescribable elegance, skilled smartness, playful delight ...
...they preferred RF's TENNIS
We'll see you raising the trophy in AUstralia again!
Estoy esperando con ansias el torneo de Australia para deleitarme viéndote jugar como solo tu sabes hacerlo, con esa clase y maestría!
Gracias Roger!! Besos desde México

We're going to have a look at this number - $2000$.
We've used all sorts of numbers in the past, so let's use our
detective skills to find things out about this number $2000$.
It looks like $2000$ because we count in tens and along in a
straight line:-
Sometimes, yes some "TIMES" we count in a circle.
If we started counting around this "$12$" clock and counted up
to $2000$ we would end up at the number $8$.
But of course we could count in a circle of any size with a
different number of numbers around it.
So if the "clock" looked like this:
and we counted up to $18$ before returning to $1$, then we would
end up at $2$ if we counted to $2000$.
Some of you will know about this kind of counting already, it is
sometimes called MODULO arithmetic or CLOCK arithmetic.
Thinking about it is all to do with remainders. Like this:
$2000$ divided by $12$ will be $166$ remainder $8$
$2000$ divided by $18$ will be $111$ remainder $2$
So we could just look at remainders.
Well save your brains!! I used a spreadsheet on my computer and
got the following table.
Column A is the number of numbers around the clock, or the
modulo number.
Column B is the remainder when divided into $2000$!
And just for fun I added column A to column B to get column
Just explore and explore ... Be a detective ... Look, think ...
write what you notice and what you think.
Some of you may have also thought about working in different
bases. We usually work in base ten, and you may have explored base
If you are counting $2000$ dots then the number looks like this
Well, what an interesting collection of $3$s and $1$s in bases
$4$, $5$ and $6$. I found base $7$ to be a very big surprise.
I have not looked deeply into this, I thought I'd leave it up to
Talking of $2000$ dots.
This is what they look like in a $40$ by $50$ rectangle.
You might like to print this off and explore as I did.
I just drew a line and then explored the number on each side of
that line.
I then thought that squares might be better to look at:-
In another investigation on this site, we looked at tiling a patio with
square tiles. So what if we have to cover an area of $2000$ squares
in a $40$ by $50$ arrangement with squares?
You could have:-
That used one $40$ by $40$ and four $10$ by $10$ tiles.
This one used one $30$ by $30$, two $20$ by $20$ and three $10$
by $10$ tiles.
This third one used two $25$s, three $15$s and three $5$s. {It's
a bit easier to write that way!}
Lastly I made
This used one $25$, one $20$, one $15$, four $10$s and fourteen
You could print off the $40$ by $50$ squares and try some of
your own.
Be on the look out for patterns
Be on the look out for relationships between your results.
Lastly I just had to look at triangles.
Have a good look at these :-
These four triangles are the $19$th, $20$th, $39$th and $40$th
triangular numbers and their total is ... $2000$!!!!
Well isn't that great?!
Have a go a looking at combining triangular numbers of your own
that add up to $2000$.
We're always asking "I wonder what would happen if I ...?"
So what if the triangles were made differently?
Like this one:-
Then, for my final contribution, and eagerly waiting to receive
your contributions, I offer you this splendid picture:-
This has four large triangles, the $20$th in their sequence each
with an area of $400$.
There are $16$ small triangles, the $5$th in their sequence each
with an area of $25$.
So you see the total area is $2000$!

A one vehicle crash Sunday left one with severe facial injuries and another facing a DWI charge.
Lauren Carole Vanderoef, 23, of 138 Hubbell St., Canandaigua, was charged Oct. 13 with driving while intoxicated following a one vehicle crash Sunday at 11:35 p.m. in the town of Hopewell. Ontario County Sheriff's Deputies allege Vanderoef failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection of County roads 46 and 47, leaving the road and crashing into a ditch.
Vanderoef was uninjured, able to exit the vehicle on her own, and refused medical treatment, deputies said. A passenger in the vehicle, Steven R. Honickel, 22, also of 138 Hubbell St., was transported to F.F. Thompson Hospital by Canandaigua Ambulance, complaining of back pain, police said.

Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a type of radiation therapy used to treat tumors and other abnormalities in the brain.
In Gamma Knife radiosurgery, specialized equipment focuses close to 200 tiny beams of radiation on a tumor or other target. Although each beam has very little effect on the brain tissue it passes through, a strong dose of radiation is delivered to the site where all the beams meet.
The precision of Gamma Knife radiosurgery results in minimal damage to healthy tissues surrounding the target. In some cases, Gamma Knife radiosurgery may have a lower risk of side effects compared with other types of radiation therapy. Also, Gamma Knife radiosurgery is often a safer option than is traditional brain surgery.
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is usually a one-time therapy completed in a single day.
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is often an appropriate alternative to standard brain surgery (neurosurgery), which requires incisions in the skull, membranes surrounding the brain and brain tissue. This type of radiation treatment is usually performed when:
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is most commonly used to treat the following conditions:
Brain tumor. Radiosurgery is useful in the management of small noncancerous (benign) and cancerous (malignant) brain tumors.
Radiosurgery damages the genetic material (DNA) in the tumor's cells. The cells lose their ability to reproduce and may die, and the tumor may gradually shrink.
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM). AVMs are abnormal tangles of arteries and veins in your brain. In an AVM, blood flows from your arteries to veins, bypassing smaller blood vessels (capillaries). AVMs may disrupt the normal flow of blood and lead to bleeding.
Radiosurgery destroys the AVM and causes the blood vessels to close off over time.
Trigeminal neuralgia. Trigeminal neuralgia is a disorder of one or both of the trigeminal nerves, which relay sensory information between your brain and areas of your forehead, cheek and lower jaw. This nerve disorder causes disabling facial pain that feels like an electric shock.
After treatment, many people will experience pain relief within a few days to a few months.
Acoustic neuroma. An acoustic neuroma (vestibular schwannoma), is a noncancerous (benign) tumor that develops along the main balance and hearing nerve leading from your inner ear to your brain.
When the tumor puts pressure on the nerve, a person can experience hearing loss, dizziness, loss of balance and ringing in the ear (tinnitus). As the tumor grows, it can also put pressure on the nerves affecting sensations and muscle movement in the face.
Radiosurgery may stop the growth or minimize the size of an acoustic neuroma with little risk of permanent nerve damage.
Pituitary tumors. Tumors of the bean-sized gland at the base of the brain (pituitary gland), can cause a variety of problems. The pituitary gland controls hormones in your body that control various functions, such as your stress response, metabolism and sexual function.
Radiosurgery can be used to shrink the tumor and lessen the disruption of pituitary hormone regulation.
Gamma Knife radiosurgery doesn't involve surgical incisions, so it's generally less risky than traditional neurosurgery. In traditional neurosurgery, you may have risks of complications with anesthesia, bleeding and infection.
Early complications or side effects are usually temporary. They may include:
Rarely, people may experience late side effects, such as other brain or neurological problems, months after Gamma Knife radiosurgery.
Wear comfortable, loosefitting clothing.
Avoid wearing the following items during the procedure:
Tell your doctor if you:
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is usually an outpatient procedure, but the entire process will take most of a day. You may be advised to have a family member or friend who can be with you during the day and who can take you home. In some cases, an overnight stay in the hospital may be necessary.
You'll have an intravenous (IV) line, a tube that delivers fluids to your bloodstream to keep you hydrated during the day. A needle at the end of the IV is placed in a vein, most likely in your arm.
Before the procedure begins, you'll have a lightweight frame attached to your head with four pins. This frame will stabilize your head during the radiation treatment and serve as a point of reference for focusing the beams of radiation. During this process:
After the head frame is attached, you'll undergo imaging scans of your brain that show the location of the tumor or other abnormality in relation to the head frame. The type of scan used depends on the condition being treated:
Tumors. Imaging for tumors may include computerized tomography (CT scan) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In a CT scan, a series of X-rays create a detailed image of your brain. In an MRI scan, a magnetic field and radio waves create detailed images of your brain.
Doctors may inject a dye into a blood vessel to view the blood vessels in your brain and highlight blood circulation. In some cases, you may have an MRI and CT scan.
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Imaging for brain AVMs may include CT scans, MRI scans, cerebral angiograms or some combination of these tests.
In a cerebral angiogram, a doctor inserts a small tube in a blood vessel in your groin and threads it to the brain using X-ray imaging. A doctor injects dye through the blood vessels to make them visible on X-rays. Your doctor may inject a dye into a blood vessel during CT or MRI scans to view the blood vessels and highlight blood circulation.
Trigeminal neuralgia. An MRI or CT scan is used to create images of nerve fibers to select a target area for treating trigeminal neuralgia.
The results of the brain scans are fed into a computerized planning system that enables the radiosurgery team to plan the appropriate areas to treat, dosages of radiation and how to focus the radiation beams to treat the areas. This planning process may take an hour or two. During that time, you can relax in another room, but the frame must remain attached to your head.
Children are often anesthetized for the imaging tests and during the radiosurgery. Adults are usually awake, but you may be given a mild sedative to help you relax.
You'll lie on a bed that slides into the Gamma Knife machine, and your head frame will be attached securely to a helmet inside the machine. The procedure may take less than an hour to about four hours, depending on the size and shape of the target. During the procedure:
After the procedure, you can expect the following:
The treatment effect of Gamma Knife radiosurgery occurs gradually, depending on the condition being treated:
You'll receive instruction on appropriate follow-up exams to monitor your progress.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (October 12, 2012)—U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais, R-Tenn., in his first public comments since reports he once urged a mistress to get an abortion, says that the woman turned out not to be pregnant.
The freshman congressman hasn't disputed a transcript of a recorded phone conversation in which he appears to urge the woman to terminate the pregnancy, but DesJarlais told WTN-FM that there was no pregnancy and no abortion.
He said the conversation came during a difficult time, as his marriage was ending, in 1999 and 2000.
On his website DesJarlais espouses a platform that opposes abortion.
His opponent in the congressional race, Democratic state Sen. Eric Stewart, says DesJarlais has "proven over and over again that he cannot be trusted."

Woke up past 7 today, am rushing off to school. Should've gotten out of bed when Cat was trying to wake me up - she's smarter than one expects.

Cadet Corps competes at Survival Weekend
Published: Tuesday, October 15, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 15, 2013 at 12:23 a.m.
This past weekend, cadets and training officers from the Henderson County Sheriff's Office Cadet Corps participated in Survival Weekend at Camp Grimes in McDowell County.
The event lasts three days and is sponsored by the N.C. Association of Law Enforcement Explorer Advisors.
Young men and women from across the state who have an interest in law enforcement and in bettering themselves come together for competition, fun and fellowship.
One of the most demanding of the competitions is properly conducting a felony car stop, when the suspect is considered to be armed and dangerous. Other competitions during the weekend included: sit-up and push-up contests, tug of war, piggy-back race, survival run, basketball games and an obstacle run.
Sheriff's Office Cadets Megan Young and Sean Fish took second place in the judging for the felony car stop.
For more information about the Cadet Corps, look at the Henderson County website under the Sheriff's Office information, or call Det. Terry Tweed at 828-694-2799.

Film critics Charlie McCollum and Randy Myers of the Bay Area News Group pick who will win 2013 Oscars.
Best picture
Charlie: Ever since Ben Affleck was snubbed for best director, "Argo" has steamrolled the competition, grabbing every award in sight and becoming the prohibitive favorite. Twenty years from now, though, film historians may wonder why the prize didn't go to "Lincoln" or, in particular, "Zero Dark Thirty."
Randy: "Argo" would appear to have a lock, but I speculate there will be a "Crash"-like upset with the stately "Lincoln" swooping in for the win. The trophy really should be handed to the topical, riveting "Zero Dark Thirty." But it's just way too controversial for Oscar.
Best actor
Charlie: If the man who played Lincoln, Daniel Day-Lewis, somehow loses, it will rank as one of the biggest upsets in Oscar history. Not going to happen.
Randy: Can you say slam dunk? A deserving Daniel Day-Lewis will win. If not, expect the horsemen of the apocalypse to come galloping in, and James Franco and Anne Hathaway get invited back as hosts. Yet I'd vote for a tie, or reward -- by the slimmest of margins -- to "The Master's" Joaquin Phoenix. There was a real Method and acting genius to his madness.
Best actress
Charlie: Jennifer Lawrence ("Silver Linings Playbook") has surged ahead of Jessica Chastain ("Zero Dark Thirty") in what had been a two-woman race. I prefer Chastain's performance, but Lawrence is a very worthy winner. A spoiler alert: 85-year-old Emmanuelle Riva from "Amour" has come on strong late and beat both Lawrence and Chastain at the BAFTIs.
Randy: Even though her Meryl Streep joke at the Golden Globes ridiculously rubbed some the wrong way, Jennifer Lawrence ("Silver Linings Playbook") will receive her first Oscar. It's impossible not to adore her. That said, Naomi Watts as a fearless mom surviving a horrifying disaster in "The Impossible" had the tougher job, even more so than the passionate Jessica Chastain ("Zero Dark Thirty"), the dying Emmanuelle Riva ("Amour) and the resilient Quvenzhane Wallis ("Beasts of the Southern Wild").
Best supporting actor
Charlie: This is a killer category and any one of four nominees Tommy Lee Jones ("Lincoln"), Alan Arkin ("Argo"), Christoph Waltz ("Django Unchained") and Robert De Niro ("Silver Linings Playbook") -- could grab the gold with Jones something of a favorite. The one nominee who doesn't stand a chance -- Philip Seymour Hoffman ("The Master") is the one who should win.
Randy: Each performance -- "Lincoln's" Tommy Lee Jones, "Argo's" Alan Arkin, "Django Unchained's" Christoph Waltz, "Silver Linings Playbook's" Robert De Niro and "The Master's" Philip Seymour Hoffman -- have merits. But my will and should win is Jones, scene-stealing tremendous as the game-changing grouch Thaddeus Stevens.
Best supporting actress
Charlie: This is another category filled with top-flight performances. But Anne Hathaway's wrenching "I Dreamed A Dream" in "Les Miserables" is a scene for the ages and such worthy contenders as Sally Field ("Lincoln") and Helen Hunt ("The Sessions") don't stand a chance.
Randy: Anne Hathaway chopped off her hair, faked the loss of dentures and then belted out the goose-pimply show stopper in "Les Miserable." This is her J-Hud moment, plain and simple. Unfortunately, it eclipses the better and certainly more naked realness of Helen Hunt's sex surrogate in "The Sessions." And don't get me started about Sally Field, too over-the-top as the troubled Mary Todd Lincoln.
Charlie: With Ben Affleck ("Argo") and Kathryn Bigelow ("Zero Dark Thirty") inexplicably snubbed, this is Steven Spielberg's race to lose, and he is certainly deserving. If you're looking for a spoiler, there's Michael Haneke, whose "Amour" is considered a masterpiece of filmmaking by many in the movie industry.
Randy: The absence of "Argo's" Ben Affleck and "Zero Dark Thirty's" Kathryn Bigelow make this less of a legitimate race. No matter. This will be Steven Spielberg's time once more, even though he made some bad calls at the beginning and end of "Lincoln." Michael Haneke ("Amour") could upset, but his brilliant feat of directing was so claustrophobic, it'll turn off voters. I'd hand the trophy to "Beasts of the Southern Wild's" Benh Zeitlin. He created the unique vision and drew out stunning performances from a novice cast, all the while being constrained by a shoestring budget.
Best animated film
Charlie: I'm not sure exactly why but something tells me the engaging "Wreck-It Ralph" will edge out Pixar's "Brave" as the Academy choice. Tim Burton's "Frankenweenie" is a truly unique bit of filmmaking -- probably too unique for Academy voters.
Randy: Pixar's gorgeously animated but colorlessly scripted "Brave" could hit the bull's-eye, but I'm expecting the clever "Wreck-It Ralph" to have its game face on come Sunday. The risk-taker "ParaNorman" should win.
Best original screenplay
Charlie: Mark Boal's "Zero Dark Thirty" appears to be the front-runner after winning the Writers Guild of America award. But its two toughest competitors -- Michael Haneke's powerful script for "Amour" and Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" -- were ineligible. Either one could be a spoiler, and I'd cast my ballot (if I had one) for "Amour "to be the first foreign language film to win in this category since Pedro Almodóvar won for "Talk to Her" in 2002.
Randy: "Zero Dark Thirty's" Mark Boal triggered a debate about torture and riled Capitol Hill. Beyond all that, his screenplay was substantial, complex and intelligent -- it should but won't take home the statue. So expect the distinctive, erratic scribe Quentin Tarantino to ride off with the prize for "Django Unchained."
Best adapted screenplay
Charlie: Tony Kushner's script for "Lincoln" was smart, moving and surprisingly funny. It deserves the win. But Chris Terrio's script for "Argo" was a surprise WGA winner, and with all the momentum behind "Argo," it could sneak in.
Randy: No contest. Acclaimed playwright Tony Kushner is a master craftsman with words, and "Lincoln" achieved greatness because of his beautifully honed script and powerhouse performances.

America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins™ for Investors
Investors now have another choice in beautiful silver!
The America's Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008 — Public Law 110-456 — authorizes the production of five ounce, .999 fine silver bullion coins replicating each of the designs featured on the United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters®. The bullion coins are three inches in diameter and have a nominal face value of 25 cents. These are the first five ounce, three inch, .999 fine silver bullion coins ever produced by the United States Mint. The fineness and weight are edge-incused on the coins.
These unique silver bullion coins will feature reverse designs depicting national parks and other national sites in each state, District of Columbia and five U.S. territories — Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands and Northern Mariana Islands. The coins will be issued in the order in which the featured site was first established as a national park or site.
Investors can now choose bullion coins that honor some of our Nation's most treasured national parks and sites — majestic places that truly make us "America the Beautiful."
United States Mint America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins are investment-grade silver bullion coins. Their weight, content and purity are guaranteed by the U.S. government.
United States Mint America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins, with their unique U.S. government backing, may be sold for cash at many coin and precious metals dealers. They are also legal tender. Their quarter-dollar face value is symbolic, because silver's market price — reported in the market pages and Web sites of major newspapers — has historically been much higher.
America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins sell at prevailing silver market prices, plus a moderate premium to cover production and other costs. Silver is typically the lowest-priced precious metal, making these bullion coins an affordable choice for most investors.
America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coins™ for Collectors
The collector ("numismatic") version of the bullion coin is produced with an uncirculated finish. It has the "P" mint mark for the United States Mint at Philadelphia. The coin is encapsulated in plastic, accompanied by a presentation case and Certificate of Authenticity, and is produced in limited quantities.

I was a sophomore at Potsdam at the time. I had seen Phish several times before then, and had been turning a lot of friends at school and at home on to the music. So I was stoked to find out that the school's Environmental Club was working to convince the College to pay for the whole thing and make it a free event. And they succeeded. The school paid for the gig, and no admission was charged for anyone, even non-students.
So, this show was up in the Multi Purpose Room on the second floor of our little student union building. I remember I helped unload Phish's truck, and got to hang around backstage for a while. I remember playing with Trey's dog Marley, running around the floor of the room while the real crew set up the stage. At some point close to the show I ditched all that and went to hang with my friends in the crowd.
I don't remember much detail about the actual show itself, but I do remember having a great time. This was back in the day when I hadn't yet seen a single low energy Phish show. I had seen some Dead shows that blew my mind, but then a few that didn't, and was disappointed in that. Then I started seeing these Phish shows and every single one of them was a least as good as the one before. My mind kept getting blown, and this show was no exception.
Well, because the show was free, word got out, so even though Potsdam College is small and the town is small, the place was pretty packed (at least for little old Potsdam). The school was caught by surprise by the fact that this was a REAL rock show. Big sound, big crowd (for Potsdam), big fun. No meaningful security presence, no tickets, lines, check-ins, pat downs. Just waltz right in and prepare to boogie. It was awesome! Some guys I knew brought a beer ball right in to the room (remember those?). Yeah, it was a fun scene.
Of course security had a fit. I don't remember any trouble that night, but the school did call the Environmental Club organizers in front of some judicial/review board and reamed them pretty good! I think it was mostly about beers (and beer balls) in the MPR, and maybe pot being smoked. I don't remember what punishment was doled out, but I'm pretty sure they thought it was worth it!
Can't believe that's almost two decades ago now...backwards down the number line and twenty years later, eh?

common is a sucka
aight, much respect for his music.
but i saw this article in a magazine that said he and few other rappers performed at a political rally for anti-war, and i thought that was cool of him. but then i turn on my tv, and i see him in a coca-cola commercial, a company that gives 1.4 million dollars every year to the republican party.
any perspectives?

How is that positive...I think the hypocracy far outweighs outweighs any "positivity" that comes from doing a Coke commercial.

Coke most likely gives money to the dems as well (not that they are much better :/ ), when you are a megacorp you gotta pay your protection money.

id like to think that if ever was asked, i would have no problem turning down that kind of stuff. am i totally unaware of some incentive that makes doing commercials absolutely irresistible? Don't say "money" or "putting food on the table" either. does common really need his income to be 2 million a year instead of 1.5 million?

I liked what Mr.HourGlass said in the other forum that someone linked here. If we were in Common's situation how many of us would actually turn that offer down.
and a question for Sage, since your the only person on this board that could be offered to do commercials (as far as I know), what kind of things are you willing to do. Like if they had asked you to wear a nike hat during the X-Games thing you did, would you have turned the whole thing down.

How could the RJD2 commercial be worse ? that makes no fucking sense.......
For instance, if Saturn donated money to a Pro-Choice org, and RJD2 was radically opposed to abortion, and he STILL did the commercial, it might be worse, but in that instance his name, nothing about him is other than the background music is associated w/ him.....who would have known that was RJD2 if somebody didnt tell you ?
its a matter of principal, Common has said one thing and done another, I dont see how RJD2 fits into that....

9. The ACM competition : 01:26
It was a straightforward problem - a text-based database. Helpful teacher that I was, I made several test cases that checked for specific errors in program logic, but had to merge them into one enormous test case for the contest. Coded the solution in 10 to 15 minutes and submitted it via PC^2 for testing. Very glad to see it work on the first run.
Had some tussles with PC^2 and compiler support. Jerome knew the magic cmd trick, though, so we managed to get all the compilers to work.
Glad to see the other people from the SEARCC contests. Seemed like nothing had changed. Mike still crazy-funny self. Chipi still somewhat insane (but very good). Mars (Gabutz) somewhat less insane (no more Wendy's action figures? awww).
Story: It was an hour or so before the contest and Ces still didn't have judges' test data for her problem. General panic. We quickly prepared 10 copies of a 10x10 matrix for her 3-D problem and started filling in letters. We finished the test data but weren't quite sure if it worked, so I sat down and quickly wrote a solution. Actual output and expected output differed. Inclined to trust program, so copied actual output into sample output for initial testing and then spent some time debugging the test data. (Debugging the test data! Pfft.) Eventually worked. Felt very pleased when other people solved the problem, as that confirmed that test data was now correct.
Rejoiced when a team finally solved my problem. Had been on pins and needles previously as had thought my problem ridiculously easy, thus lack of attempted solutions was most worrisome. A number of teams didn't test with sample output given in problem, tsk tsk.
Went bowling with Dominique, Chipi, Mike, Jerome, and Mars. Non-zero score. Very happy.
Ateneo still top-ranked Philippine team. Yay. =) Also, they beat more foreign teams than last year. 5th place, big improvement.
Must work on consistency, though. Last team freaked out and did not solve any.

1. Summary of today : 23:24
Also worked on the CS21A syllabus. With some trepidation, have decided to go for an objects-first approach using the BlueJ learning environment. Need to make sure to deliver results or the senior teachers will frown on my experimentation. Feel, however, that this is the right way to go. Want students to be able to _see_ how their programs work, how it fits together. Expect them to outgrow BlueJ eventually. Looking forward to teaching them Eclipse in CS21B, but in the meantime, BlueJ offers many tools to help beginning programmers learn.
Should also package
Have also spent time browsing through BlueJ mailing list archives. If am going to use experimental technique this semester (a few days from now!), must make darned sure I know how to use it.
Sketched out opening day plan. Lots of tasks. Significantly more housekeeping on the first day in order to support certain experiments (study buddy, blogging), but hope that students do not get lost. Revised classroom policies to explain _why_ things were prohibited.
Most students not content with teachers who read off the slides. In fact, have not yet found anyone happy with that, although many okay with it because it makes reviewing for tests easier. Still, it's a colossal waste of time.
Tomorrow: Will go to school for early morning meeting (yikes!), file for new ID, install software on lab computers, have CDs burned, write documentation, and prepare for school. Have way too much to do, but do not have time to pack tonight so will end up coming home. (Must be fetched, probably.)

STOCKTON - A woman who tried to steal items from a north Stockton business Friday left behind a key piece of evidence: her driver's license.
The woman entered the business in the 1000 block of East Hammer Lane about 4:15 p.m., stashed a number of items in her purse and attempted to walk out of the store without paying for them, police said. When the business owner confronted the woman, she hit him several times, officers said.
The business owner was able to hold onto the woman's purse as she fled the business, police said. Officers located the woman's driver's license in her purse and identified her as 22-year-old Tashiana Scott, authorities said.

ARCADIA � As of Nov. 1, the town of Arcadia will discontinue the E-Waste Recycling Service that allowed town and village residents to drop off � free of charge � their old electronic equipment. The Town Board approved the measure at their last meeting Oct. 8.
According to Supervisor Dick Colacino, E-Waste recycling has changed their policy, notifying the town that they would begin charging them to pick up items collected at the drop off site, located at the highway department on Blackmar Street.
Signs will be installed at the highway barns to notify the public of this change and ad will be placed in the local newspaper alerting residents of the change.
Colacino said items can now be dropped off at the Bottle and Can Return at 1167 E. Union St. in Newark.

Science Features
Each year on Halloween, as children dress up and go door to door looking for treats and excitement, bats—the very animal we associate with the celebration—are in serious trouble and we need to "treat" them with the respect they deserve.
Iconic Halloween animals that reinforce the spookiness of the holiday, bats have long suffered a bad reputation. They've been accused of harboring unkind spirits, making nests in piles of ratty hair, and are, of course, often associated with witches, warlocks, and Halloween. Few other mammals seem to "spook" us with so many misunderstandings.
.    But bats, because of their incredible echolocation abilities, rarely fly into or touch people. Far from being merely an unsavory nuisance, they serve amazing and essential ecological roles in our country.
Unfortunately for insect-eating bats, white-nose syndrome (WNS), a fatal fungal growth in the wings and muzzles of hibernating bats, has killed over 5 million bats since 2006, and may well lead to the extinction of certain bat species. In addition, bats are susceptible to being killed or injured by wind turbines.
According to Paul Cryan, a bat ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, "People often ask why we should care about bats, and our research analysis strongly suggests that bats are saving us big bucks by gobbling up insects that eat or damage our crops. It is obviously beneficial that insectivorous bats are patrolling the skies at night above our fields and forests—and that these bats deserve help."
Unlike the dreaded vampire bat typically associated with Halloween, insect-eating bats perform services valuable to humans. Research by Cryan and his colleagues shows that insect-eating bats—through their free pest-control services—save the agricultural industry at least $3 billion each year. A single little brown bat, which has a body no bigger than an adult human's thumb, can eat four to eight grams (the weight of about a grape or two) of insects each night. The loss of millions of bats in the Northeast has probably resulted in between 1.4 and 2.9 million pounds (equivalent to about two to three full Boeing 747-8F airliners) of insects no longer being eaten each year by bats in the region.
With these facts in mind, perhaps we can feel friendlier towards bats this Halloween.
An Invasive, Emerging Disease: White-Nose Syndrome
U.S. bat populations have been declining at an alarming rate since the 2006 discovery of WNS in New York State. To date, the disease has been found in 22 states and five Canadian provinces and has killed more than 5 million bats. The Northeast, where bat population declines have exceeded 80 percent, is the most severely affected region in the country. There is no known cure for WNS, and diseases among free-ranging wildlife are difficult to stop once they've become established in wildlife populations.
WNS is caused by a deadly fungus called Pseudogymnoascus destructans (formerly known as Geomyces destructans), according to research by USGS scientists and partners. True to its ominous name, P. destructans causes a powdery white growth on the muzzles and wings of most infected bats (the telltale sign of a life-threatening WNS infection), compromised immune systems, wing damage, and abnormal bat behavior.
The disease is spread by bat-to-bat contact during hibernation, and possibly by humans carrying the fungus from infected caves to uninfected sites. (WNS is not known to affect people.) For this reason, many caves in affected states have been closed to recreational use, and people visiting open sites are urged to follow specific decontamination procedures.
The abrupt spread of has disrupted populations of seven bat species so far, and if the current rate continues, WNS could threaten several of these species—including the federally endangered Indiana bat—with extinction. Studies by USGS scientists and collaborators provide critical information about WNS, which may help decision-makers preserve these ecologically and economically valuable North American bat populations.
"The high number of bat deaths and range of species being affected far exceeds the rate and magnitude of any previously known natural or human-caused mortality event in bats, and possibly in any other mammals," said Cryan.
Bats and Wind Energy
In addition to WNS, bats have another rapidly growing danger. Wind energy is one of the fastest-growing sources of renewable energy in the United States today. Land-based wind turbines can reach more than 425 feet above ground with a rotor-swept area of 1 sometimes 2.5 acres. Though wind turbines play an important role in the nation's energy portfolio, bats and birds have been injured or died from collisions with turbines or from the physiological damage caused by the massive turning blades. It is estimated that nearly 900,000 bats die at wind turbines each year. As our nation's energy portfolio continues to grow, it is critical that development be guided by the best science available so that it happens in the right way and the right places. USGS researchers are assessing not only how and why a bat interacts with the blades of a wind turbine at night, but possible methods to reduce the numbers of bat and bird fatalities.
We are creating new applications of innovative technologies like employing radar to track flight patterns of bats; using low-light surveillance cameras to document bat-turbine encounters; developing models to predict fatalities; and recording flight calls of bats and birds to determine the distribution of migrants in time and space. Together, this information can be used to help reduce the harmful effects of wind energy on bats by providing information needed for better turbine design, operation, and placement.
To learn more, please listen to this podcast on bats and wind energy.
About Bats
Bats remarkably similar to the ones we have today first appeared on Earth more than 50 million years ago. No other mammal has ever achieved the ability to sustain flight. There are over 1,000 species of bats, some the size of a human thumb and others with a six-foot wingspan. Some eat insects, some eat rodents, some eat nectar from plants, and yes, some eat blood, and other than fruit bats, all are active at night. Bats rely on echolocation (locating objects by reflected sound) to navigate through the night and in the caves and tree-roosting sites many kinds of bats inhabit.
During the winter, many species of bats hibernate in dark and moist caves or mines, playing an important role by bringing important resources into cave ecosystems. Hibernation is an adaptation for bat survival during the cold winter months, when there are no insects available for bats to eat. Bats must store energy, in the form of fat, prior to hibernation. One of the problems with WNS is that the hibernation of many afflicted bats is interrupted, often leading them to depart their winter roost and to eventually starve to death.
Bat reproduction begins with mating in the fall before hibernation. Female bats store sperm through the winter and become pregnant in the spring soon after emerging from caves or other winter roosts. In spring, bats migrate to their summer areas—often wooded locations with lots of trees and vegetation. Females usually roost together in maternity colonies under the peeling bark or in cavities of dead and dying trees and in caves in groups of up to 100 or more. Each female in the colony typically gives birth to only one pup per year. Young bats are nursed by the mother, who leaves the roost only to forage for food. While mothers are out foraging, the young bats huddle together like building blocks to keep warm. The young stay with the maternity colony throughout most of their first summer.

Google Music now has a trash page that includes all the songs you've deleted. You can find the page by clicking the "options" icon and selecting "Music trash" from the menu. The songs are permanently deleted after 28 days (why not 30 days like in Gmail?), but you can also manually do that. There's also an "undelete" button for restoring music files.
It's interesting to notice that the deleted music files are no longer synced with Google Music Manager. As Google explains, "once you permanently delete [a song], the content and related data (e.g., stored play counts) will be disassociated from your account. There may be some delay before our systems fully process your removal request. In addition, if this content was purchased from Google Play, the only way to retrieve it is to repurchase the content."

Sara Gilbert married Linda Perry on Sunday, Gilbert's co-hosts on "The Talk" said Monday on the show.
"Let's get started with a big congratulations for our own Sara Gilbert, who got married last night," Julie Chen said. "It was magical. It was the most beautiful ceremony."
Aisha Tyler said, "Amazing, amazing night. Beautiful, and it was at sunset and overlooking the ocean."
Then, according to the Los Angeles Times, she caught herself.
"I mean, we can't tell too much about it because we want Sara to talk about it," Tyler said.
The couple is honeymooning this week, said Chen, who promised they'd have pictures and more details next Monday when Gilbert returns.
I think I speak for most of the country's men when I say we absolutely can't wait.
The Times reported Gilbert, 39, and Perry, 48, got engaged in April 2013, with the songwriter and former 4 Non Blondes singer proposing in a somewhat complicated fashion involving a love song, a breakup song, a picnic, a guitarist, a daydream, a string section and horns, T-shirts, moms, friends and musician John Waite.
Wow ... my wife just sort of told me we were getting married, so I did.
The two started dating in late 2011. In August of that same year, Gilbert broke up with Allison Adler, her partner of 10 years. The former couple have two children together, son Levi and daughter Sawyer.

Good, clean website design will catch the eye of the latter. Even better - crisp, clear images. There is, however, such a thing as too much design. If the current design is good enough--or at least, not horrible--then I think we're better off focusing on developing content first.
If we want Adphoto to go up in the search engine rankings, what we need is something _useful._ If we have content, design is icing on the cake.
The best way to do that is to give things away for free. For example, if Mom gives me lots of pictures of the Philippines with photo credits and URL embedded into the picture, then maybe other people will borrow those for their own websites. I'll need to make sure they're not linking directly to the images so that we aren't paying for the bandwidth, but it might be a good idea.
Mom could also write articles on photography. How to get started. How to manage the business. Stuff from Papa's talks.

Despite a flurry of recent updates to patch security holes in Oracle's (ORCL) Java software, many experts fear it's only a matter of time before the bug-prone product again exposes millions of computer users to possible cyberattacks.
"The state we're in now is pretty much a state of chaos,"said Andrew Storms of nCircle, an information security company based in San Francisco. "Nobody really seems to know are they vulnerable or not, and what should they do to make themselves not vulnerable."
Some experts question whether Oracle is up to the task of making the software secure. While it sounds willing to fix it, said Paul Ducklin of the security firm Sophos, "the credibility gap seems to be whether it will be capable of doing so."
Failing to correct Java's flaws could create huge problems. While many consumers only occasionally need the software when browsing websites, many businesses depend on it for payroll processing and other purposes. Plus, the vulnerabilities can make it easy for crooks to commit a variety of crimes, everything from stealing computer data to extortion.
Milton Smith, who leads Oracle's security for Java, recently acknowledged that the Redwood City corporation needs to bolster public confidence in the software. A couple of weeks after the Department of Homeland Security issued a warning Jan. 10 to disable the software in browsers unless "absolutely necessary," Smith told a Java users group that Oracle's plan "is to get Java fixed up, number one, and number two, to communicate our efforts widely."
However, when this newspaper sought to interview Oracle officials about Java's vulnerabilities -- primarily involving its use in website applications -- a company spokeswoman declined to comment.
Unrelated to Java- Script -- a similar programming language created by Netscape -- Java was developed in the early 1990s by Sun Microsystems, which Oracle bought in 2009. Designed to make it easy for other software programs to run on computers and websites, Java lets people play games and chat online, calculate their mortgage interest, make stock trades and view images in 3-D, among other things.
Although used only occasionally today by many computer users, Java continues to run on several billion devices, including personal computers, mobile devices, television sets, car navigation systems, lottery terminals, medical devices and parking-lot pay stations.
As far back as 2005, a study by Carnegie Mellon University's federally financed Software Engineering Institute concluded that "there are a number of Java features and facilities that an unwary user might not realize could compromise safety."
Since then, critics contend that Java has been poorly maintained by Oracle and over the past three years has had at least 90 security vulnerabilities of medium to high severity, according to a federal database that tracks such problems.
Those weaknesses have made it a juicy target for crooks, concluded Cisco Systems (CSCO)' latest annual report on cyber security. "With over 3 billion devices running Java," it said, "the technology represents a clear way for hackers to scale their attacks across multiple platforms."
In April the Polish firm Security Explorations reported finding a number of Java vulnerabilities. More turned up last month, prompting the federal warning. Three days later, Oracle issued a Java update to fix the problems. But shortly after that, Security Explorations said it found more vulnerabilities. Then on Feb. 1, Oracle issued another update with 50 additional patches.
The flaws are a major worry because experts say crooks already are exploiting them with so-called ransomware, which freezes computers with a pop-up message demanding money to let the victim regain use of the machine. The vulnerabilities also can let crooks infect computers with information-stealing malware, and experts have spotted notices that pop up on computers pretending to offer Java-security updates but that inject malware when clicked.
Following the federal warning, Mountain View-based Mozilla blocked Java on its Firefox browser unless a computer user clicked a feature to enable the software. However, it removed that feature on the Java version in question after Oracle's latest updates. Similarly, Apple (AAPL) -- which disabled Java in its Mac computers operating system after the warning -- has reinstated the software.
Proponents of Java insist it has many good features and that it's not the only software to have security holes. Over the past two months, the federal database has listed vulnerabilities in software from Cisco, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Apple, Google (GOOG), Mozilla and Adobe Systems (ADBE), among others.
Will Dormann, a Carnegie Mellon researcher who wrote the Java warning for the government, said the many flaws found in Java may partly stem from some security experts spending inordinate time scrutinizing it. He also noted that Java isn't the only software he's recommended disabling. He gave similar advice in December about Adobe's Macromedia Shockwave Player, which displays certain web content.
Even with Oracle's latest patches, he said it was unlikely the government would tell people "to turn it back on."
Crooks reportedly have been selling so-called exploit kits that enable other criminals to take advantage of Java's deficiencies. Some experts, including Jamie Blasco of the San Mateo security firm AlienVault, fear it's only a matter of time before more vulnerabilities turn up in Java.
To avoid that, Oracle must make a major investment to shore up the software, as other companies with vulnerabilities have done in the past, said H.D. Moore, chief security officer with Rapid7. Otherwise, "they will not be able to make Java safe for the web browser in today's environment."

At first Meet Magento in Poland gathered around 100 people from all around Europe. Thomas Fleck, from NetResearch, said it beautifully - I came to Poland from Germany, to listen to a swiss company presentation in english on their experience with integration Magento for Ghana government institution.
Variety of attendants experience created great opportunity to exchange knowledge during coffee breaks between speeches, and were continued even at After Party on 40th floor of Mariott Panorama Bar. Additionally - what other conditions would have to be met to gather at one place several former Magento Core Team members and have opportunity to ask them these difficult questions you have kept in your head for months of Magento integration? Oppa Gagnam Style bros! :)
Experienced speakers
Meet Magento gave opportunity to listen to 22 speeches from 23 speakers (including Piotra Kamińskiego, Damiana Luszczymak, Ivana Chepurnyi i Vinai Kopp), who have shared both their experience with Magento integration and solutions for e-commerce market (payment gateways, email marketing solutions). Thanks to presence of Magento representatives it was also opportunity to listen how Magento evolved in last years, how Magento Developer Certification looks like and where is Magento 2.0 today.
Those who impatiently wait for Magento 2.0 there is a good and bad news. Magento takes effort to make new version well tested and documented, therefore we should not expect it soon, especially core parts are still being modified - if you go for new website during next year, stay with Magento 1.x. In the meantime we can count on new Service Pack editions for Magento 1.x, and the first version of Magento should be supported for several years to come after the release of Magento 2.0.
Big congratulations to the organizers from Snowdog.pl team - Kuba Zwoliński and Marta Molińska - who, regardless it was their debut, have organized this event in professional way in nice atmosphere. From the entrance to the hotel kind girls wearing orange shirts with logo of the event guided everybody to the right floor and room. Speaches performed in polish were simultanously translated to english and at the same time were available on live stream.
Great job! Impatiently, and against mayan prophecies, we wait for MeetMagento 2013!
We are really happy that we had the opportunity to support this event as a sponsor and moreover we would like to thank the auditory for pleasant reception of our presentation.

Blood drive Thursday, April 18
Last year, 28,000 individuals in the Community Blood Center's area needed a blood transfusion. This year, the local needs for blood are expected to rise, according to the Dr. Jay Menitove, executive director and medical director with Community Blood Center.
Community Blood Center, the provider of blood services to local hospitals, will be conducting a blood drive on Thursday, April 18, for the Chillicothe area. The blood drive will be from noon until 6 p.m. at United Methodist Church.
"When individuals normally think of essential community services, they think about the fire and police departments," Menitove said. "However, because Community Blood Center is here to meet the needs of local patients, we would hope that individuals in our community would consider us to be just as essential."
To make an appointment online, go to www.esavealifenow.org and use Sponsor Code: chillicothe. Appointments may also be made by contacting Carol Meyers at 816-351-1128.
"Just one donation can help as many as two local hospital patients," Menitove said. Community Blood Center must collect at least 580 pints of blood every day to meet the needs of its area.
