One in four Dallas area children at risk of going hungry, study says
About one in every four Dallas-area children was at risk of going hungry in 2010, according to a study released today by Feeding America, a hunger-relief charity.
The study, titled "Map the Gap: Child Food Insecurity 2012," uses 2010 data from the U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Department of Census Bureau and food price analysis from the Nielsen Company. Through the analysis, researchers found that about 27 percent of children in Texas do not have consistent access to the amount of nutritious food that is necessary for a healthy life, according to the USDA.
That ranks Texas 11th highest among the 50 states and the District of Columbia in the percentage of children facing food insecurity. Dallas County ranks 6th in metropolitan areas, behind Los Angeles, New York, Houston, Chicago and Maricopa County.
According to the study, one in five children in the United States lived in a household that received aid from Feeding America's network of 200 food banks and shelters. That's 50 percent more than it was in 2006.
Read the study's executive summary below.
Also, see how donated food takes its winding path from donor, to the North Texas Food Bank (a Feeding America member) and finally to a family.

"Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude." — Denis Waitley, American author
Still basking in the glow of l-o-o-o-o-o-n-g days. And the gorgeous weather. Although I've been hearing about the record high temperatures all over the place (and mourning the effects of global warming), here in the Bay Area it's been cool and overcast in the mornings and sunny and absolutely glorious in the afternoons.
Yup, it means the tomatoes in the garden are ripening slowly. And the blackberries and other fruit. But oh so gorgeous blessed days!
I am grateful for the Rx from my Chi Nei Tsang practitioner: spend 20 minutes in the sun every day (before 3pm), wearing as little as possible, and bask! How's that for a prescription?
Dragged the heavy hose its full length and started watering the seedbeds. The whole garden looks like more dirt than plants, as you can see, and I spent my time (15, 20 minutes) watering every bed, and the paths in between, bending down and saying hello to each little tiny seedling I could see.
This time spent in the chilly morning sunshine was most definitely not on my calendar. I have so much more important stuff to do! Tax-related stuff, business development stuff. I have blogs to read and comments to write! I have #FFs to send, and RTs. And yes, I also have sunshine to soak up, and invisible seeds to water and love, and seedlings to greet.
I tell my clients this all the time: Make room for every part of your most sacred self in your schedule. Want some unstructured hammock-lying time? Schedule it! On first glance this might look and sound counterintuitive to you. Take a moment with this. Close your eyes and picture your calendar—using the week view. And picture a lovely two, two-and-a-half–hour chunk labeled Sacred time: Laze in a hammock and look at the clouds. This chunk is in a color you don't use for anything but Sacred Time. Using a different color is a very important part of the magic of this, try it and see! And then picture yourself getting to that day, that afternoon, that chunk of time. And shutting your computer, leaving your phone behind, slapping on some sunscreen, and going out to do nothing. In the very best way.
I am grateful that I am healthy.
I am grateful that the people in my life who know about my gratitude practice remind me of it when I'm complaining, and that I am willing and able to stop complaining and shift to gratitude. On a dime, frequently (not always!).
I am grateful that the garden is coming alive.
I am grateful that last night when I broke a jar flooding my kitchen with a gallon of kombucha my reaction, while ridiculous, wasn't dangerous. I didn't get loaded, yo. I spent an hour trying on workout pants at Target (an ego-killing exercise if I ever saw one), bought nothing, not even a mop which would have been a good purchase (sticky floor). Came home and remembered, a couple of hours later, that forgiveness and love are available, even here. Only took about four hours to remember.
I celebrate with gratitude ease flexibility health, all coursing through my physical body.
I humbly stand in gratitude for the love in my life. For my daughter and sister. For my sisters of choice.
I joyfully express gratitude for my home, for the shelter and safety I get her.
I happily breathe my gratitude for faith and spirituality.
I am grateful for the last bunch of ripe blackberries yesterday, plump and perfectly ripe amid the dying vines.
I am grateful for the bounty of SunGold tomatoes in the garden. Hard to beat the experience of eating sunwarmed SunGolds right off the vine. Yum!
Here's a true fact: Cherry tomatoes are best when they have split. This is something I never learned when buying them, because vendors don't pack the little baskets with split tomatoes (cosmetically faulty, I guess). If you have an opportunity to eat 'em off the vine, try the ones that have split (they'll fall right off the vine into your hand) and you'll taste the perfection of the precise best moment of ripeness.
I love eating food from the garden, eggs from the hens. Life as an urban farmer. For this Brooklyn girl, these things are simply miracles. Yay!
…weeding and seeding, perfecting my farmer's tan. Finally figured out the derivation of the word "redneck" as I was bending over, pulling weeds, and feeling the sun on my neck. Note to self: buy a new bottle of sunscreen to replace the one that's gone missing.
Put in some new snap peas (hope it's not too early), and seeds for bok choi and a couple of other greens. Then I found some "pink lipstick" chard starts at the nursery and put them in as well. Yum.
Made and bottled incenses and bubble bath with Jenny yesterday for the Northern California Women's Herbal Symposium. We're going to vend these two things and my kombucha, Jenny's jam, my hand sanitizer. I love doing this stuff. Joyful joyful joyful.
Sunny, cold morning (what is up with this weather? so weird…).
I celebrated Mother's Day early with Rose. On Friday, we met in the middle—at the Nut Tree shopping center in Vacaville. I found a really good Mexican Restaurant via Yelp, Villa Corona. I had something new: Machaca de Carnitas (scrambled eggs with pork). Yum! Really really good. My daughter treated me to lunch. And I treated her to an ice cream and side-by-side pedicures. What a lovely day.
To those raised eyebrows ("a mother treating a daughter on Mother's Day?") I answer with nothing but delight and gratitude. As I told Rose, she is that which brings me the gift of motherhood and I am so grateful and lucky and happy to celebrate her. Just sayin'…
I got to priestess at our Beltane ritual on Saturday night. And be the altarist. I strolled the courtyard here and picked a giant basket of flowers. Unbelievable bounty. Enough for the center altar and the four directional altars as well.
And my sister Rowan brought her garlands of silk flowers as well. So much beauty!
I am grateful for circling with such beautiful women.
Everyone is gardening. Fresh dirt everywhere. I hear there's a recent UC Davis survey that says that handling soil while gardening with your bare hands actually increases the amount of oxytocin (a naturally occurring drug the brain releases during sex, child-birth and laughter). Yes I am so grateful to know the joy of gardening.
This year I've changed up the greens mix. I think I now have five varieties of kale growing. And a few kinds of chard. And some new stuff: I found specially bred cut-and-come-again beet greens and broccoli. Fits the way I grow and eat. I like my greens tender (small). I've been cutting and coming again with kale and chard and tatsoi and mizuna for years. Now I've added the beet greens and broccoli and collards and spinach. It's a teeny jungle of greens.

The Idiot
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Idiot Part 2, Chapter 7 Summary
- Just as Aglaya is starting with the poetry, in comes General Epanchin and some new dude—Radomsky. Myshkin is all, whose the new guy?
- But they all listen up to Aglaya reciting. She is totes awesome, but also while talking about "the poor knight" and his obsession, she replaces words from the original poem with a hint about Nastasya. Oh snap.
- Myshkin is really embarrassed but there's no time to think about it since everyone immediately starts hanging on every word Radomsky is saying. Turns out he has just given up his military commission. Also, it turns out that is Aglaya's new special friend.
- Mrs. Epanchin is so impressed with Aglaya's poetic stylings that she demands a copy of the works of Pushkin and Lebedev immediately offers to sell her his set.
- Meanwhile, Lebedev's daughter points out that are there a bunch of dudes waiting to talk to the prince and pretty much on the verge of busting into the room uninvited.
- One of them claims to be Pavlichev's son—remember, that guy who was Myshkin's patron?
- Apparently this is something that's been going on for a while, since everyone in the room already knows all about it and are scandalized on the prince's behalf. It's hard to know what they all know, but the reader is guessing that these new guys want some of his inheritance?
- Clearly, it's something unpleasant, and Myshkin has a paranoid thought that their arrival at this time was a setup to make him look bad somehow.
- Lebedev describes these guys as nihilists. Okay, time for a little history lesson.
- So, you know how there was a revolution in Russia in 1917 and the country was turned into a socialist/communist state? Well, those ideas about sharing the wealth and not abusing the workers didn't come from nowhere—they came from the second half of the 19th century, and they were definitely on the less-scary end of the extremist idea spectrum. The most extremist? The nihilists, whose name comes from the Latin word "nihil" which means "nothing."
- They believed in nothing—no laws, no morality, no social customs or culture. Now that's some terrifying stuff right there.
- Anyhow, where were we now? Oh, right, the nihilists. So they come into the room, and Myshkin sees that he knows two of them: Kolya's friend Ippolit and Lebedev's nephew—the one who was complaining that Lebedev wouldn't give him money to get a job.
- The third is an ex-military guy from Rogozhin old crew, and the fourth is the one who claims to be Pavlichev's son, even though his name is Antip Burdovsky for some reason.

Concord University education propels Myers' career
Emily Myers is enthusiastic about Concord University. She has high praise for her alma mater crediting the school with providing a strong foundation upon which to build her professional career.
Myers graduated cum laude from Concord in 2002 with a B.A. in Communication Arts, concentration in public relations and advertising. She was an honors program graduate.
"We have an excellent communications program, very well-rounded," the Cross Lanes resident said. "It's very complete and teaches you how to do everything. It was a direct lead into my profession."
While studying at Concord, Myers said she learned a range of skills from newspaper writing and radio advertising to creating a marketing campaign. Since graduating from Concord, she has followed a career path linked to her education.
Myers has served as public information specialist for the West Virginia Department of Transportation in Charleston; marketing/sales representative supervisor for Scientific Games (WV Lottery) in Charleston; and marketing director for the West Virginia Army National Guard.
She is currently public relations account executive for McDonald's Restaurants of the Tri-State with Moroch Partners based in Parkersburg. In this position she manages the McDonald's brand within West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and southeastern Ohio. She continued her education by obtaining an M.S. in integrated marketing communications from West Virginia University in 2005.
Myers said she values the opportunities to gain leadership skills provided by Concord's campus organizations especially "the small school aspect for somebody like me who likes being involved in the community."
"A small school like Concord gives you practice in getting out in the community…and being able to be a leader," she said.
At Concord, Myers was President of Delta Zeta Sorority. She was also a member of the first color guard for the marching band; co-director of the public relations workshop; and, belonged to campus honoraries including Gamma Beta Phi, Alpha Chi, and Cardinal Key.
Myers is also enthusiastic about keeping in touch with her Concord family, specifically young alums who live in the Kanawha Valley area of West Virginia and share similar interests.
She helped organize the Kanawha Valley Young Alumni Chapter and recently hosted a gathering for the group in Charleston. She points out the benefits of joining the group.
"It's a way to get to know each other, do some networking, know what's going on at Concord," she said. "I have found in my career that networking is key, getting to know people who have something in common. Networking is a valuable way for young professionals to get to know people who can help them."
She said the group plans to meet quarterly. Activities include tailgates at Concord football games in Charleston and pre-game dinners during basketball season. Myers also devotes time to other community organizations. She is area alumnae director for Delta Zeta Sorority; membership team co-captain for Generation Charleston; WV Walk MS/Bike MS Committee Member for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society; and, board of directors member for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern WV.
A native of Poca in Putnam County, Myers enjoys working in her home region and hopes to sell other young professionals on the area. "My job is to stay here in the Charleston area and do my best of making the Kanawha Valley a more inviting place for young people to stay and to come back to live," she said.

Skill Level Beginner
In this video we will establish the framework for our simple Revit model family. Using reference planes, we will establish the basic extents of our family and then assign some simple parameters to them to control their position. It is very important to carefully plan and build your framework before you attempt to add model geometry to your families. So, let's go ahead and create a new family. I'm going to do it here on the recent file screen, but you can also get it from the Application menu. Go to New and then Family. When you create a new family using either method, the first question you will be asked by Revit is to select a template file.
As you can see here from the list, there is quite a long list of template files available for Revit families. What I'm going to do is select the first one, and direct your attention over here to the Preview window, and then I'm going to use the arrow, the down arrow on my keyboard, and just kind of page through several of these. You can see just from the little previews that there is quite a bit going on in each of these family templates. So, choosing one is a relatively important first step. We're going to choose something very simple here, because we're actually going to be building a pool table that we're going to place in the rec room of our condo project.
So, I'm going to categorize that as Furniture. That's one of the main things that choosing the template does for you is it sets the category of the family, but the other thing that it might do is you see these words here, ceiling based and face based and host based and so on, in some cases, a family will require a host. Think about doors, think about windows that we've seen in previous movies, those require a wall host. So, those would have been wall-based families. In this case, Furniture is freestanding, and my recommendation to you is when you first get started in the Family Editor, stick with freestanding families.
They're much easier to control, and much more forgiving. So, let's start there. So, I'm going to go ahead and open that Furniture family template, and this will be our first look at the Family Editor. Now, the Family Editor at first blush looks a lot like the Project Editor, but there are a few differences. If you look at the Ribbon tabs, you'll see that they have slightly different names, in some cases. More importantly, if you look at the Home tab, you'll see that there are quite a few different tools here. Instead of walls, doors and windows, we now have extrusions and blends and revolves. Now, the Project Browser looks largely the same, but the names of the views are much more generic.
So, we're on a view called reference level. Now the other thing that we'll find with the Family Editor is when it opens it typically loads multiple windows. It's pretty common for folks working in the family editor to like to go to View, and then choose Tile, and this takes the four windows that open by default and it tiles them on your screen. This way you can simultaneously see the work you're doing in plan, in elevation, and in 3D. So, we're going to do a keyboard shortcut now, ZA to zoom all the windows to fit their surroundings.
That takes care of the three orthographic views, but until we actually add some 3D geometry, the 3D view still kind of looks blank. So, we'll come back to that one a little bit later. All that the furniture template gave us was two reference planes at the center of the screen. If you click on one of them, you'll see a little label, Center Front/Back, and a pushpin, which if I pause over it, the tooltip tells me that this prevents or allows a change in the element position. So, this item is pined right now, locking it to that position, so that we can't accidentally move it.
The intersection between these two, that's the insertion point of this family when we drop it in our project. These reference planes form the structure and the framework of the family. What we're going to do is go to the Home tab and over here on the Datum panel, we're going to click Reference Plane, and we're going to draw several of our own reference planes. So, you draw these, pretty simple, just like lines. I'm just going to click a couple points across here and then after I draw the first one, I will edit the temporary dimension to make it 2 feet.
I'm going to draw another one and now the temporary dimension should snap to 4 feet pretty readily. I'm going to snap it to the ends of the first one I drew and just verify that that's 2 feet as well. The next two that I'm going to draw I'm going to run vertically, and the first one usually comes in at a start of a random number, so I'm going to change that to 4 feet. Then the neighboring one, I should be able to snap right to 4 feet. So you should have a total of four new reference planes. These two are 4 feet away from center.
These two are 2 feet away from the center. Most pool tables are these regulation sizes. They are roughly 4 x 8 feet, so that's why I chose those dimensions. Okay, so that kind of lays out the framework in a plan view. What we're also going to do is come in here and click on the front elevation and we'll add one more reference plane running across there. This one is going to be 31 inches off the floor.
That's going to be the playing surface of our pool table. So this is our front view, and this is our top view. To make sure that these reference planes behave the way we want them to, we're going to add dimensions to them next. So, what I'm going to do is go to Annotate, click on the Aligned dimension tool, we've seen this in other movies, and I'm going to start from this reference plane to this one, to this one, and kind of click it somewhere over here. I want to click this to make sure that that's constrained, equal, equal.
I'm going to do it again this way, and click that. What that does is if this moves, it moves them both together equally, therefore keeping the center of the family in the center. So, the insertion point always is in the center. So, I'm going to undo that with Ctrl+ Z. I'm going to add another series of dimensions from here, and this time skip the middle and go right across to here, and then from here, skipping the middle, right across to here. Let me do a zoom.
Get in a little closer on that. So this one reads 8 feet, and this one reads 4 feet. I'm going to select the 8-foot one, and we're going to do what's called labeling that dimension. Now, you can do that. There are two places we can see right here onscreen that we can do that. We can do that up here on the Options bar and we can do it over here on the Properties palette. It doesn't matter which method you choose. They both work the same way. When I open up the label dropdown, the only real choice I have is Add parameter.
So, I'm going to add a parameter on the fly, and this is how you add smarts to your family. I'm going to call this Length and click OK. I'm going to repeat the process with the 4-foot dimension. Notice how Length is now listed, but we don't want to add Length again. That would force our table to be square. That's not what we're after in this family. Maybe in some other families you make. Let's call this one Width. When you create parameters, you can tell because the label appears in front of the dimension.
When you create constraints, you can do that two ways. You can either do the equal, equal, as we saw here, which constrains the relationship to an equal relationship, or you can click the lock icon. Let's look at an example here. If I select this reference plane, instead of actually drawing a dimension, it turns out that I can take the temporary dimension, and click this little icon right here and make that a permanent dimension. You'll see that when I deselect the reference plane, the dimension remains.
Now, I could put another parameter on this, but I don't want to vary the height of the table. I want the height of the table to stay fixed at 2' 7". So, I'm going to lock that. That's a constraint. So again, this is a constraint. This is a constraint. This and this are parameters, okay? So, a parameter is something that will vary, and a constraint is something that's locked in. So, I'm going to do one other thing to this reference plane. I want to name it. The reason we want to name it is because that will allow us to draw a geometry on it later.
So I'm going to call that playing surface. I'm going to add one more reference plane, down here, kind of came in at a random number, so I'm going to make that 3 inches. Then just to make sure that it doesn't go anywhere on me, I'll put a dimension on it and lock it. So, we've laid out all our framework.
We can see it in the three orthographic views. Now comes the time for the big test. In Revit, we call this "flexing the model". So, I'm going to give this model a flex, and make sure that everything works the way I'm expecting it to work. The way that I do that is to go back to the Home tab and I click on the Family Types dialog. I'm going to move that out of the way, so I can see the three views in the background and I'm going to try two different numbers here in my two parameters. Now, notice how only the two parameters are listed here. You don't flex constraints; constraints are going to stay fixed, no matter what.
So, if this one changes, we've got a problem, because we are expecting that one to stay fixed. We click Apply and you should see in all three views, the width and length changed and the height stayed fixed at the 2 foot 7 inches. What I want to do is actually make it easier for me to make these changes in the future. So, over here, this is called the Family Types. You can actually create your types ahead of time in the Family Editor. So, I'm going to click New and I'm going to call this one, 8 foot, and this is going to be a full-size 8-foot table.
The size of that is going to be 44 inches x 88 inches. I'll apply that. Then I'll create another new family and I'll call it, rather another new type, and I'll call it 7 foot and that one will be 39 inches x 78 inches. Notice I'm typing inches and Revit is converting it to feet and inches. I'm going to reset to the 8-foot and apply and you see how that's a much faster way to flex.
So, everything is working the way I expect. So, congratulations! We've set up our first parameters. That's the first step in building any good family.

It's done. Governor Snyder signed the bill in the secrecy of his office or a closet or wherever else he goes to deal with the shame of turning his state into Indiana or Mississippi or Bangladesh because he wasn't tough enough to stand up to Dick DeVos.
Michigan is now the 24th state that limits union contracts and only union contracts on fees.
And unless we change it the Democratic Party will become even more captured by the oligarchs.
When is it time to bring the mafia back in? I grew up with a lot of those types. I kind of like 'em and we didn't have this type of trouble with politicians when we had them around.
It's either that or the oligarchs ……………
It is only union contracts, except for the firemen and police. Wonder why they denied those groups the "liberties" they sold to the rest?
Isn't there a "Lame Duck" law to stop them doing these horrible things?
Cowardly all right: I tried calling yesterday and today and I think they weren't answering the executive office publicly available phone number at all and had also disconnected the Constituent Services number that was STILL ON THEIR OFFICIAL WEB SITE.
So much for transparency and 1 tuff schmuck. Maybe he should be known as pRic Snyder from now on and @ some time the state's name will be "Michissippi".
What are we to expect from a guy who filches a billion dollars from schools and pensioners and still can't balance a budget?
it is depressing to see this unfold, and on the coat-tails of your last post.. good coverage regardless marcy. thanks..
Sorry to go off topic, but I hadn't noticed anyone posting Marcy's appearance here (looks like a misspelling on the post):
@Bardi: Because most cop and fire unions were bought off by the GOP ages ago.
Snyder used the same game plan as did Scott Walker in Wisconsin, and one of the great surprises of my life was to see the police and firefighter unions turning against Walker — but that was fueled partly out of resentment at being used as his palace guard, among other things.
11 Secret Documents Americans Deserve to See
Exactly what I would have expected from that party. The dispiriting part was watching the Michigan voters give them the green light to do it with the constitutional amendment failure, while the R's supposedly got their asses handed to them in the elections.
And perhaps it is just foreplay for the lame duck fuck-over Obama/Reid/Pelosi and Boner are hatching right this moment. I give 50/50 odds that Obama will make a reluctant show of being forced to negotiate 67 y.o. Medicare eligibility by the end of the month. And if I win that one, I'll go double or nothing that something like the Ryan Medicare as voucher plan gets passed within the next four years. That's four years of lame duck fuck-overs we could be facing, and I don't think that's a rolled up pocket veto I see in the presidential trousers.
Republican Senate, Republican House, Republican Governor. I think it was Obama that said it best: "Elections have consequences"

After the indefinite closure of Jackson County's 15 public library branches in April, the Jackson Elementary Girl Scouts mounted a book drive to open a lending library this summer.
One thousand books later, visits to the Girl Scouts lending library in the Santo Community Center, 701 N. Columbus Ave. in Medford, have been sparse. About five to 10 children on average visit the library between 9 a.m. and noon on Mondays and Wednesdays.
So the Girl Scouts are going to roll grocery carts through the streets of the Jackson school enrollment zone beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday to hand deliver the books to their classmates, most of whom come from low-income families.
"By going mobile, we are hoping to reach a lot more kids that maybe are shut in during the day while their parents are at work or haven't heard about us," said Kathy Greager, a Jackson Elementary Girl Scouts leader.
"I think every community needs books and of course, in low-income areas where families may not have books, the need is greater."
On a Wednesday morning, the little room packed with books at the Santo Community Center was empty, save for the two parents who were manning it.
"I thought this would be something that would really take off, but we've had a lack of advertising," Greager said.
She said children who have gone to the library have made repeat visits.
The library offers a story time, felt play boards, games and reading prizes.

This year I bought several of Stonewall Kitchen's delicious dessert sauces to give as Christmas presents to friends. I have been looking for the perfect dessert/bread to go with them. Since I have so many to bake for, I can't do full size Bundt cakes for everyone so I was planning on baking in loaf pans or mini loaf pans. But all the recipes I have found have been more breakfast-y. Anyone have suggestions and/or recipes for a dessert bread/cake that (1) go well with decadent chocolate and dulce de leche sauces and (2) that I can bake in loaf pans?
Many thanks!

The Slingbox is the only way to take your living room TV experience with you wherever you go. Many companies say they can give you TV Anywhere, but make sure you read fine print – some don't work unless you are on Wi-Fi, while others only have small number of channels when you leave your house. And most of them don't work if you travel internationally.
Only Slingbox gives you control of all of your channels and all your shows, live or recorded on your DVR, plus On Demand, anywhere there is an Internet connection.
Like you, we love being able to sit down and catch up on shows we've missed on Amazon Instant, Netflix or Hulu. But sometimes, shows demand to be watched live – and only Slingbox give you all your live TV anywhere, anytime. Final episodes. Award ceremonies. Live reality shows. And if you don't watch it, you'll hear about it on the social networks. Stop worrying about people on Twitter and Facebook spoiling the ending or who won best comedy just because you weren't at home.
Be the one to spoil it for everyone else.
Getting live games when you're away from home can be a frustrating experience. Some services give you every game, except for your local team, which, for some reason, is blacked out. Others can show you the game you want on everything EXCEPT your mobile devices.
Keeping track of what you can watch on which device shouldn't be this complicated. With a Slingbox, you know you will be able to watch all of the games on all the channels you subscribe to, on your tablet, smartphone or laptop – without extra monthly fees.
You know that having a Slingbox will let you watch your TV anywhere, but did you know you can also watch it on a streaming device hooked up to your big screen TV? Be able to watch your cable or satellite subscription at your vacation home or in that TV in the bedroom or basement. All without extra monthly fees.
Devices supported:
- Apple TV*
- Roku*
- WD TV Live Media Player
- Sony Internet Player with Google TV
- Netgear NeoTV
*Requires the purchase of SlingPlayer for iOS or Android devices
SlingPlayer for iPad is now the best way to watch Live TV, anywhere. With a Slingbox at home and the SlingPlayer app on your iPad, you can now easily discover what's on TV. In fact, it might be the best remote control you will ever use at home. You will know everything about what you're watching, whether it's the name of the leading actress of the movie you're enjoying or how many yards your fantasy quarterback has thrown in the game so far. Real-time scores and stats are available at your fingertips. And with Facebook and Twitter integration you can be the first one to spoil the ending.
- 500 channels and everything's on – Throw away that remote and stop squinting at the on-screen channel grid. Easily discover what is on right now with the new Gallery interface with recommendations just for you.
- The complete sports experience – find which channel the game is on and stay up to date with real-time stats.
- Integration with Twitter and Facebook – Have something profound (or snarky) to share? Be able to do it without leaving SlingPlayer.

We'd like to think anyone in the world needs a Slingbox, but here are some examples of who our customers are and what they're doing with their lives.
- Sports fans and information junkies. Slingbox grants instant access to live sporting events without blackouts, and time-sensitive breaking national or local news.
- Frequent travelers or expats. Take your home TV with you anywhere with an Internet connection. No streaming service or app can do that.
- College students or snowbirds. No need to pay for another cable or satellite subscription where you are. Simply connect to your Slingbox at home from your laptop or mobile device, or use a Roku streamer connected to a TV.
- Military personnel. Wherever they are deployed, they can stay connected to what's going on at home.
- Moms and Dads on the go. Wouldn't you rather be watching the game while waiting for piano lessons to be done?
- Anyone who wants to save a buck. No need for additional set-top boxes. Get TV in more places in and around the home, using gadgets you already own.

Oh, yeah, Alex Cross is a brilliant detective, all right. He has such Sherlockian intuition in "Alex Cross" you might almost imagine he read the James Patterson novel the movie is based on — except that the movie isn't based on a Patterson book, just on the character played by Morgan Freeman in "Kiss the Girls" (1997) and "Along Came a Spider" (2001). The movie is intended as a career crossover for Tyler Perry, whose legions of fans may be surprised to find him falling through the ceiling of a Detroit movie theater and clinging by his fingertips while a serial killer clings to him.
Perry plays Cross, a police detective able to walk onto the scene of a sadistic torture and murder and explain the killer's nature, motive and psychotic traits. That knack comes in handy toward the end of the film, when whole square blocks of the city are shut down to protect a French billionaire who plans to rebuild Detroit. Where could the killer, nicknamed "Picasso," possibly be hiding? "On the train," Cross immediately announces. This man is as brilliant at explaining a modus operandi as Perry Mason with only four minutes left in the show.
The killer is a wicked piece of work, who first appears as the Butcher of Sligo at a private cage-arena fight in order to win the attention of the billionaire's mistress, who is turned on by brutal bloodshed. He's played by Matthew Fox, who you have seen many times but never like this. He has lost so much weight and added so many muscles that the veins creep across his arms like worms just beneath the surface. (The Frenchman, oddly, is played by the action star Jean Reno, who seems to have taken the weight Fox lost and added it to his face and neck).
It's the cops who nickname the Butcher "Picasso," because of the charcoal drawings he leaves behind at his crimes. They provide clues perhaps no one could possibly figure out, except Alex Cross — and every kid who ever read Mad magazine. Remember those back-cover drawings that you could fold so the right and left sides would overlap and make a new drawing? Eureka! Cross has broken the code!
The direction by Rob Cohen is so careless that the film's climax is set up by a car crash that, if I am not mistaken, is completely coincidental. A hand-to-hand struggle between cop and killer is shot in Queasycam so murky, it's impossible to follow. The Detroit locations, such as the old Michigan Theater, are effective unless you notice some of the exteriors show Cleveland. (I've been to downtown Detroit, and Senator, this isn't Detroit.)
"Alex Cross" is a disjointed thriller with too many characters rattling around, including Cross' partner (Edward Burns), his inexplicably domineering and bossy mother (Cecily Tyson) and his sweet wife (Carmen Ejogo), who doesn't want him to take the FBI job in Washington and make their kids leave school. There is also John C. McGinley as the mean and nasty police chief, who at one point tells Cross and his partner, "You're dismissed." Say what? Is this a version of the cop movie cliche where they're made to turn in their guns and badges, or simply an imprecise word choice?
This is the first film Tyler Perry has appeared in that isn't his own personal work. He is best known, of course, as Madea, the 6-foot-5 matriarch Perry plays as a cross-dressing signature role. "Alex Cross" would perhaps have been much improved with Medea in the title role.

Instead of adding extra salt, sugar, water, and other artificial ingredients to bind water with meat, Pannonia Hams are fully cooked and then aged to remove water from the ham, thus intensifying its own natural meat flavors. Phosphates are never used in its production. This traditional method of making a ham creates not only a wonderful flavor, but also a firm texture and a pleasant smoked aroma. Our Pannonia Ham has both eye and taste appeal that sets it apart from other hams.

Joss Whedon Says 'The Avengers' is an 'old-fashioned' Movie
The folks over at the Kentucky Kernel got to speak with director Joss Whedon where he spoke a bit about Marvel's upcoming The Avengers. While somewhat light in the department of revealing new plot info or character appearances, Whedon did manage to divulge good nugget of wisdom about why he feels that the movie will stand apart from the rest of the superhero blockbusters.
Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures "Marvel's The Avengers"–the super hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel super heroes Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins.
The Avengers is based on S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury trying to unite heroes with extraordinary powers and egos. Did you ever feel like Nick Fury, trying to bring the actors into a team concept, and how did you handle creative differences in this type of situation?
I felt very much like Nick Fury. He's the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., literally, and that puts him at a remove from everybody, even if he likes them. He knows he's putting them in harm's way. Hopefully I'm not putting my actors in harm's way.
Hopefully I'm not even making them uncomfortable, but I'm not nearly as intelligent or manipulative as Nick and I didn't have as many problems because my actors actually wanted to be together. They enjoy each other.
But you do feel that responsibility that you've got to get all of these people to give their best. For (Fury) it's in battle, and for me it's when we're rolling, to really come up with their best stuff and play off each other as well as possible, and you have a great responsibility to service them with your camera at the same time.
So I definitely felt some of the pressure, but I can see out of my left eye.
Did you have any particular combination of super heroes that you thought were the most interesting to see interact?
I love the Bruce Banner, Tony Stark relationship.
Bruce Banner's the first guy Tony Stark's come across who operates on his level intellectually, who isn't a villain.
But I also love Tony and Steve (Captain America) and how much they can't stand each other, and I'm very invested in Natasha and Hawkeye and their deep friendship, so, you know — oh — I love them all.
I hate this question (laughs).
What advice would you give to any student with ambitions of one day sitting in the director's chair?
My advice would be (to) sit down. Now you're in the director's chair.
We live in an age where anybody can make a movie. If you have a phone, you can make a movie. OK, maybe not a huge movie, maybe phone-sized, but it's there.
When I came up, you wrote a script, and you hoped and hoped. Or you raised enough money to make a short film.
Things are different now and the best way to get your work out there — not just as an offering to somebody else to hope they'll make it, but to show yourself as a filmmaker and to learn as a filmmaker — is just make movies.
There's no excuse not to now.
If you were going to insert yourself into a super hero movie, what powers would you have?
I would have the power of invisibility, and then I wouldn't have to show up for as many shooting days.
College students have a lot of options this summer with movies to see during their breaks. Why should college students have it first on their list to see "The Avengers"?
I think "The Avengers" is the kind of movie that I grew up wanting to make and thought they had stopped making.
When I grew up, the summer movie was, literally, created as a concept, and all my life I wanted to do something like that, something like the first "Indiana Jones," something that was steeped in character, in love of the genre that it was portraying, had intelligence, had real acting, had a story that unfolded and wasn't just a sort of big premise that you already knew going in.
It's a little bit bigger than life, but it's very human.
More and more, summer movies have felt a little cynical. There are very big exceptions to that, but that has been the case when people throw so much money down.
They're not interested in a story, they're interested in just barraging you with excitement and imagery and brand names.
Marvel doesn't operate that way. They care about the people. That's why they hire some of the best actors in the business to play their heroes. This is an old-fashioned movie.
Directed by Joss Whedon, The Avengers assembles in theaters on May 4, 2012 and stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo and Cobie Smulders.

By Jeannie Stafford, Nevada FWO — Kim Field, desert tortoise recovery biologist at the Nevada Fish and Wildlife Office has long recognized the potential of the Desert Tortoise Conservation Center (DTCC) to make a strong contribution to desert tortoise recovery. Her initiative and foresight has been instrumental in creating a new partnership that is the first large-scale collaborative effort between the Service and the Conservation Centers for Species Survival (C2S2), in the contiguous 48 states. This new partnership will serve as a national model to encourage new approaches to complex conservation issues.
The DTCC was constructed in Las Vegas in 1990. Since its construction, the DTCC has been used primarily as a holding facility for formerly wild tortoises removed from development sites and for tortoises from Clark County's tortoise pick-up service. Although the Center has occasionally hosted various research projects, it has had limited value to conservation and recovery of the desert tortoise.
In 2005 and 2006, Kim coordinated the development of a master plan. The plan envisions the transformation of the DTCC into a facility that would enhance desert tortoise recovery, provide for improved desert restoration techniques, foster cooperative scientific research that supports our knowledge of Mojave Desert ecosystems, and enhances public education and awareness of conservation needs of the Mojave Desert.

Let me concentrate on the problem.
Computer Fundamentals - 101
Write an algorithm that can 'think'? - 10 marks
Leave it to my cranky professor to give such a question for the internal surprise quiz.
"For Gods sakes this is computer fundamentals and he asks us to write an algorithm that thinks", I heard my neighbor cribbing.
But here I was already in my dream world.
How can I quantify thought, only if I am able to quantify thought can I write algorithm to represent it.
We think a lot of stuff, the brain is most times overloaded.
When I have to concentrate on this test, I think of the girl sitting in front of me, Why does she not notice me?.
I think about my house, Why does my Parents not buy me that new bike?
I think about my future, When am I going to earn my first million?
I think of this old professor who cold calls me all the time, he knows that I don't listen in class why does he have to ask the questions, sick sadist! And again he embarrasses me in front of this girl.
I think of the money in my pocket. I have a few coins and some scraps of paper (not money, it is just random notes to increase the bulk of my wallet) in my wallet.
How will I be able to hangout with the rich kid, he spends too much and expects the same from us. Oh crap, I think too much! I am going to flunk! But I am sure none of the other guys will have a good answer to this.
"Sir, I have a doubt in this question?", somebody from the class asked.
Oh man somebody has a doubt in this also, talk about studious, he probably wants to know how many lines the algorithm should be written in.
The professor looked up from his front desk, "Yes".
"This is out of syllabus"
"OK tell me what is inside the syllabus"
"Huh! The first 3 chapters of computer fundamentals by Morris Mano, thats all you have taught till now"
"Yes they are chapters on history of computing, Von Neumann machine, etc, and binary arithmetic, but this question precedes all of those and is a primary requirement in the process of computing, don't you 'think' this is a fundamental requirement".
Was that a pun, please dont say pun not intended!!
"Huh! But computers don't think?!".
"Well sir did I teach you that!!!", the professor.
Oh so he did intend the pun and he answered the question with a trick question, 'Yes' he has to answer the question and 'No', the professor jumps at his throat for not listening in class.
The studious student was smart at least, he did not fall for it and sat down.
We 'think'. How?! Should I draw the schematic diagram of my brain?, but I don't know that, I am not a biology student. I always loose to chess engines. Now how can it win unless it thinks. Chess does have a quantifiable surface 8x8 squares, probably it has a database with all possible moves. But it still has to choose the best move to match mine, the computers does loose to chess masters. But still it thinks enough to beat me, so it does cognize what I do and produces a counter move.

Definition of blue ensign in English:
blue ensign
A blue flag with the Union Jack in the top corner next to the flagstaff, flown chiefly by British naval auxiliary vessels.
Example sentences
- Until this time, vessels of the Commonwealth naval forces had flown the Naval blue ensign.
- Eventually, common sense prevailed, and in about 1621 the first red ensign appeared, followed some years later by the white and blue ensigns to distinguish the three squadrons into which the fleet was now divided.
- It was not until 1950, when the Commonwealth government decided to give a flag to every school to mark the jubilee of Federation, that it finally designated the blue ensign as the Australian national flag.

The Harvard ski team will enter five Alpine skiers--the largest entry of any college--in the Great Gourge National Qualifying Tournament being held today in Mcafee, New Jersey.
Ski coach Richard Friedman Jr. called the entry, "an amazing show of the tremendous power we have." "We would be lucky in years past if we placed one entry in such a tournament," he said.
Those competing will be William Draper, Allan Watson, Jay O'Rear, Larry Carter. They will be competing with ten other top Eastern skiers and 15 members of the U.S. National Ski Team.
Coach Friedman is expecting the best performance to come from Bill Draper and Larry Carter. Draper was ranked fourth by the NCAA last year and Carter won a fifth place in the Harvard Challenge Cup.
The Harvard Tournament was held at Loon Mountain and included the best Alpine skiers in the nation. Peter Carter, as well as his brother Larry, placed in the tournament, coming in twelth.
Alpine skiing includes all slalom events. per, Allan Watson, Jay O'Rear, and Larry Nordic skiing includes such events as the jump and cross country runs.
Harvard competed in two tournaments over the Christmas vacation. In a Waterville Valley Tournament Jim Platz took a first in the class A-B jump while in the class C jump Ray Ingersoll placed second and Jim Wolf placed fifth. The Waterville Valley Tournament came at the end of a one week Harvard training camp.
Platz again took a first in the jump at the Lyndonville, Vt. Tournament held on Dec. 27. Ingersoll also placed with a seventh, in the jump. In the cross country competition Steve Hinkle placed sixteenth.
Coach Friedman-was very pleased by the team's strong showing in the jump but said the sub-bar showing in the cross country showed the team's lack of practice as compared to other college teams.
Commenting on the freshman team, Friedman said, "Several freshman came up to our training camp and showed great promise. It should be a strong team.

Like health care organizations throughout Delaware and across the country, Bayhealth – Kent General and Milford Memorial – is adapting hospital facilities to meet the local community's increased need for care. Making more inpatient beds available and increasing staffing are two of the initiatives currently underway.
Bayhealth Chief Medical Officer Gary Siegelman, MD, says the best way to prevent influenza is to get vaccinated. "Vaccines are still available and are effective against this year's strain of flu. Physician offices, clinics and many drug stores have ample supplies of the flu vaccine."
Bayhealth took a more aggressive approach to preparing for this year's influenza season, starting proactively by requiring physicians, employees, volunteers and contractors to get the vaccine or wear a surgical mask in patient areas. Over 95% of Bayhealth employees received this year's vaccine.
To complicate the upsurge in influenza cases, the community is also experiencing an increase in Norovirus – commonly known as the "stomach bug." Symptoms include diarrhea and vomiting, and the virus is easily transmitted from person to person. Anyone can get the Norovirus. It is not related to influenza, and there is no vaccine to prevent Norovirus.
Bayhealth is asking for assistance from the community during this time. If you wish to visit patients at Kent General or Milford Memorial:

Bayhealth is Southern Delaware's healthcare leader with hospitals in Dover and in Milford. Bayhealth provides a wide range of medical services, including cardiovascular, cancer, orthopaedics and rehabilitation, pediatrics, respiratory care, sleep care, surgical weight loss and women's services.

What Is PM's Secret To Beating Clegg At Tennis?
Monday 12th May 2014
David Cameron has admitted that he got coaching from former British number one Andrew Castle to help him beat Nick Clegg.
The Prime Minister admitted that, while his Deputy's technique is far better, but he has triumphed both times they have competed.
He told LBC: "He's got very good style. Anyone watching us having a knock-up would think that Clegg will win that one.
"But I do sometimes have tennis lessons. It's one way of keeping fit. I have actually had help from someone just down the corridor who I just saw [Andrew Castle, who works on LBC's sister station Smooth].
"I have. I come out on the radio. Only a few times I have to admit. He's quite good at tennis. He has some quite punishing routines that he puts you through, so that's probably helped a bit."
Nick Ferrari asked whether he could be ballboy next time they played, to which the Prime Minister replied: "Well, that would be a sight!"

I thought it was what the crowd was laughing so much about just before the last game of the match (I was away from the TV for a few seconds). Guess I was mistaken. I apologize.
Somebody from the crowd said something when Roger was about to se
Hrbaty sat down next to Rog on one of the changeovers late in the 2nd set! Apparently they're good friends--played doubles and all--and Hrbaty told Roger he just wanted to have some extra fun, since this may be one of his last Wimbledon
Gael Monfils has withdrawn due to a shoulder injury. Roger could have met him in the third round.
Thanks for telling us about the pictures in the Forum.
I found this a few pages ahead there. Picture of Hrbaty is sitting with Roger on Roger's bench, just before the last game. SO adorable!
***FedEx100--the pictures on the Forum are FABULOUS! Thanks for letting us know--go look, everyone!
I'm happy about news that Roger is regaining his TOP FORM. This is the most important thing i wish to Roger.
With his super form, Roger is invincible in Wimbledon with his
