Palin's PAC Counters 'Game Change'
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's political action committee, SarahPAC, released a 2:38 minute Internet video to counter the HBO movie, "Game Change," which follows Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, from his selection of Mrs. Palin as his running mate and to their defeat in the general election.
The Palin PAC said in a statement to supporters that its video, "Game Change We Can Believe In," "shares the true story" of the 2008 presidential campaign. "HBO must add a disclaimer that this movie is fiction."
"Liberals have proven once again that they do not value truth. The liberal left distorts facts to fabricate its own version of history," the statement added.
The Palin camp said "Game Change" "lapsed into a tired routine of manipulating facts and omitting key parts" of Mrs. Palin's story. The HBO film stars Julianne Moore as Mrs. Palin and Ed Harris as Mr. McCain.

Although a previous post and response here reports that the transition bug was fixed in the current release, it is, unfortunately, not true. Using the 'fade' effect, when you select anything other than 'fastest' (1) it will only slow down the rotator on the first load, after which it defaults to the fastest transition (1), which is just to darn brief. You barely have time to see what's in the image.
The author needs to figure out how to make the transition speed change stay constant, and REALLY should include a function for how long the image stays fixed before rotating to the next image. Until then, this plugin is pretty much useless for most applications unless you're targeting speed readers!

Roopika Risam Talk, "Decolonizing Digital Humanities"
Roopika Risam, Assistant Professor of English at Salem State University, will be visiting campus March 11th and 12th. During her time here, she will give a lecture entitled, "Decolonizing Digital Humanities: Towards New Communities of Practice," Friday afternoon at 4 pm in Burling Library.
As digital humanities has grown, the field and its methods have been subject to critique for their exclusions along lines of race, class, gender, nation, ability, and other axes of difference. The work of postcolonial digital humanities has taken up these concerns by examining the role that postcolonial theory plays in mediating and reframing the practices of digital humanities. This talk takes a critical look at what it means - and does not mean - to "decolonize" the digital humanities. It raises concern about the undertheorized ways that "decolonization" has been marshaled in response to digital humanities while examining how postcolonial critique can move the field forward and how it influences digital humanities practice in existing projects.
Light refreshments will be served.
This event is being co-sponsored by the DLAC, the Center for the Humanities, and Digital Bridges.

Protein shakes are a healthy way to supplement your diet with quality nutrition. However, most are made from dairy and/or egg, and the primary alternative has been soy. But a patient recently brought to my attention a company that produces some very unique protein powders that are suitable for people who need to avoid dairy, egg, and even soy.
Until now the only alternative that I was aware of were rice protein powders, which are often difficult to locate and don't always mix very well – they tend to have a grainy texture to them. Now you can get two other protein powders, made from peas and hemp, respectively. (As an aside, hemp milk is now available at stores such as Whole Foods.)
According the to company, True Protein, what they call Gemma Pea Protein is very smooth and light. I suspect that pea protein powder is somewhat like soy, in that both are legumes. However, they are fairly distantly related legumes, so most people who can't tolerate soy will likely tolerate pea protein just fine.
Hemp milk tastes fairly rich like soy milk, though it is somewhat nutty. So you can expect these same qualities from hemp protein powder.
Both are available online through True Protein at www.TrueProtein.com and are very reasonably priced. You can also customize your protein powder order with various flavors and additives such as flax, psyllium, and sugars. When you visit their website click on Product, then Formulas, and then Custom Solutions in order to find these unique protein powders.


text: AMRI's most recent boilerplate description includes the following passage:"A separate, standalone R&D division of the company is also developing technology that it intends to partner and outlicense; something viewed as a higher value added service to the many companies AMRI is working with."I can only assume that the CEO's forte is chemistry and not writing. Otherwise, he would know that he should NEVER end a sentence with a preposition. LOL Placed in the context of law enforcement style analysis, I find it very revealing in terms of personality profiling.The reason why I point this out is because research indicates that at most companies, including those in the Fortune 100, the CEOs tend to be involved in crafting those descriptions.Also, it is interesting that the CEO has chosen to highlight this division given the fact that it has been close to a complete failure.

LEGOLAND Florida is geared toward the 12 and under set, but a love of LEGO doesn't stop at 12, so what is the best age to visit LEGOLAND Florida? That's the question I was asked most about Florida's newest theme park – what is the recommended age for visiting? LEGOLAND Florida recommends the park for kids 12 and under. My suggestion is it completely depends on your child, your available time and resources. I visited with my 8.5 year old and newly minted teen and they both had a blast. Here's why…
LEGOLAND Florida for Elementary School Children
This is the prime age for LEGOLAND Florida. Our visit was highly anticipated, even for my newly minted teen and it didn't disappoint. Our favorite ride was the Project X roller coaster and both boys really enjoyed the Mindstorm Robotics programming class. I'm going to look up classes at the Atlanta LEGOLAND Discovery Center to see if we can participate in something similar closer to home. Mini-land was also a favorite. My boys are huge Star Wars fans and seeing all the episodes in miniature was very entertaining. It was also fun to see places we've visited in miniature, like Times Square and the Castillo de San Marco.
LEGOLAND Florida for Toddlers
LEGOLAND Florida also cater's to the toddler set and they have a special Duplo area just for the little kids. Even in the Build and Test area (another favorite), there were bins with large soft blocks for the youngest LEGO fans.
LEGOLAND Florida for Tweens and Teens
There were times when my 13-year-old felt too big, but only because other kids were so much younger. He likes LEGO castles, so he was excited to step into the Kingdom's world. He also loved Mini-land and Mindstormers. The roller coasters are fun, but if your teen is only satisfied with BIG thrills – these are tame coasters. Bottom line – there is lots of fun to be had for young teens and tweens, but go into it with the right frame of mind. Don't expect Six Flags with LEGOs. If you have limited time and resources older teens might prefer something with thrill rides.

moreJamie Grimm is a middle schooler on a mission: he wants to become the world's greatest standup comedian--even if he doesn't have a lot to laugh about these days. He's new in town and stuck living with his aunt, uncle, and their evil son Stevie, a bully who doesn't let Jamie's wheelchair stop him from messing with Jamie as much as possible. But Jamie doesn't let his situation get him down. When his Uncle Frankie mentions a contest called The Planet's Funniest Kid Comic, Jamie knows he has to enter. But are the judges only rewarding him out of pity because of his wheelchair, like Stevie suggests? Will Jamie ever share the secret of his troubled past instead of hiding behind his comedy act?

Does anybody know why wp generates
tags when using the wp-tabs plugin? I can see the
tags in my live code but they are not visible when I am editing in html mode on a post.
In addition, when I delete the tabs from my post, the spaces seem to disappear. They appear in the top margin above my wp-tabs menu, as well as in random places throughout my wp entry.
If anyone knows how to get rid of these invisible, automatically generated
tags, I will be forever grateful.
Thanks in advance!

This then asked me to send about $200 or something like that for my part 2, 508-page package. I had to reply within a week or my opportunity would be missed forever. I threw it all in the bin thinking that would be the last of it: If I didn't reply they would leave me alone.
About 3 or 4 months later I recieved another 7 page letter telling me how much I could gain in 10 seconds and completely change my life etc, I had been hand picked and I had special and wonderful abilities...bla bla bla.
They want $218 New Zealand dollars and I can pay by credit card money order or cheque. And I must reply within 5 days or miss out forever.
Alarm bells went off so I Googled NT Society and found several links telling me it was a scam. I hope not too many people have been sucked in by this.
The letters clearly had been made with a simple computer programme and had my full name in capitals inserted in several places. There were no spelling mistakes but several grammatical (hope I spelt that right) errors and clearly was not written by the anonymous (imaginary) rich and famous person because they wouldn't make that many mistakes.

More than 3,000 South African gold miners are trapped 1.4 miles beneath the surface of the Earth. The company that owns the mine said that its workers will be able to breathe, but South Africa's National Union of Mineworkers said it is extremely concerned for those who are trapped.
Update: All of the workers have been rescued.
A pipe broke, severing power cables to the lift and trapping workers at the bottom of a 2.2km (1.4 mile) shaft.
Rescuers are planning to use an adjacent shaft to lift them out, a spokeswoman for the mine's owner, Harmony Gold Mining, said.
The accident happened at about 1000 (0800 GMT), some 80km (50 miles) west of Johannesburg.

I like using this lotion on my baby girl, it is moisture enough and not oily or heavy on the skin. Plus it is really scentless and I appreciate it very much.
My daughter really likes this product!

Development of a Fingertip Glove Equipped with Magnetic Tracking Sensors

AbstractIn this paper, we present the development of a data glove system based on fingertip tracking techniques. To track the fingertip position and orientation, a sensor module and two generator coils are attached on the fingertip and metacarpal of the corresponding finger. By tracking the fingertip, object manipulation tasks in a virtual environment or teleoperation system can be carried out more precisely, because fingertips are the foremost areas that reach the surface of an object in most of grasping processes. To calculate the bending angles of a finger, we also propose a method of constructing the shape of the finger. Since the coils are installed on the fingertips and metacarpals, there is no contact point between the sensors and finger joints. Hence, the shape of the sensors does not change as the fingers are bending, and both the quality of measurement and the lifetime of the sensors will not decrease in time. For the convenience of using this glove, a simple and efficient calibration process consisting of only one calibration gesture is also provided, so that all required parameters can be determined automatically. So far, the experimental results of the sensors performing linear movement and bending angle measurements are very satisfactory. It reveals that our data glove is available for a man-machine interface.

Seven normal-hearing young adults were trained to identify two synthetic speech variants of the syllable /ba/. As subjects learned to correctly identify the two stimuli, changes in P1, N1, and P2 amplitudes were observed. Of particular interest is that P1, N1, and P2 components of the N1-P2 complex responded differently to listening training. That is, significant changes in P1 and N1 amplitude were recorded over the right but not the left hemisphere. In contrast, increases in P2 were observed bilaterally. These results indicate that training-related changes in neural activity are reflected in far-field aggregate neural responses and that distinct patterns of neural change, perhaps reflecting hemispheric specialization, likely represent different aspects of auditory function .

My site is Level 70 Design. Just rebuilt my theme for 3.3.1, though I don't think this is a theme-specific issue.
The site looks/works as intended in Chrome & Safari but in Internet Explorer (8 & 9 with same standards) and in Firefox, there is a weird gap within the #branding id of the header. It shows up between the header images and the top navigation. Any ideas? Code inspectors in either didn't turn up anything obvious. IE I can understand but Firefox? I must be missing something.
Any help is appreciated. Oh, and in IE there's another gap between the #branding (header) section and the #primary section but it seems tied to IE doing something weird with my positioning and the relative elements above them... so frustrating.
Thanks for taking a look.

I've noticed several homes in the city, which are becoming eyesores because the owners choose not to mow the grass. Isn't there some type of ordinance that covers such situations? What can be done to improve the looks of our city?
A local man was arrested for meth possession, fleeing the scene and several other charges after police responded to a disturbance call last Thursday on Bailey Road in the Mt. Sherman area.
According to the LaRue County Sheriffs Office, the incident started when officers responded to a trespass complaint at the intersection of Bailey Road and Mt. Sherman Ward Road. The owner stated that a green car was parked on their land and that it had left prior to the officers' arrival.
A new felony expungement law in Kentucky for class D felonies has caused a lot of misunderstanding for people who are wishing to expunge a felony from their record.
The state legislature passed house bill 40 during their 2016 session, which allows people with class D felonies to have their convictions expunged. The expungement will eliminate all records of the charge, including the original police report, as well as erasing all documentation about the charge and conviction from the official record.
More than one hundred people came out for the Industrial Hemp Field Day event last Thursday at the David Pepper Farm outside Hodgenville.
Several specialists in industrial hemp research attended the event including Tom Keene from the University of Kentucky, Todd Willian from Western Kentucky University and Tom Hutchens and Dave Spalding from Atalo Holdings, Inc.
A local woman who was recently arrested for manslaughter pled not guilty in court last Monday.
Lovie P. Skaggs, 59, of Hodgenville was arraigned in LaRue County Circuit Court. She was appointed a public defender and she entered a not guilty plea. Chief Circuit Judge Charles C. Simms III also ordered to have a psychiatric examination and observation on Lovie Skaggs to determine her mental condition.
The Hodgenville Police Department is currently investigating vandalism that was discovered at the former Shopko building on West Main Street.
HPD Sergeant James Richardson said the vandalism was discovered last Saturday morning and that it included graffiti at the front and west side of the building. He said he believes it occurred sometime late last Friday night and early last Saturday morning.
The building has remained vacant since April 2015 when Shopko decided to close the doors of their Hodgenville location and several other Shopko stores in the region.
Roadwork and taxes were the main topics of discussion at the Fiscal Court meeting Thursday July 29.
LaRue County Judge Executive Tommy Turner recommended that the four percent increase not be adopted by fiscal court. The recommendation was followed by a unanimous vote to turn down the increase.
There was also discussion of repairing the shoulder of a road in the fourth district. Magistrate Larry Howell talked about how there's no shoulder on Airline road where it intersects with 31E.
The LaRue County Sheriff's Department seized 26 marijuana plants in a central section of LaRue County on Monday, August 1.
LaRue County Sheriff Russell McCoy said the seizure is part of an ongoing investigation by his department. He said the plants were being cultivated and are worth several thousand dollars.
"A full grown marijuana plant is worth approximately $2,000," McCoy said. "These 26 plants have an approximate street value of $35,000."

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is the federal agency responsible for overseeing states' Medicaid programs and ensuring the propriety of expenditures reported by states for federal reimbursement. In 2002, GAO reported on weaknesses in CMS's oversight of Medicaid financial management and made recommendations to CMS to strengthen its oversight process. In fiscal year 2003, CMS started receiving funds from the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program to help improve Medicaid financial management. GAO was asked to evaluate CMS's financial management activities, including following up on prior recommendations. In this report, GAO examined (1) the extent to which CMS has improved its ability to identify and address emerging issues that put federal Medicaid dollars at risk and (2) how CMS used funds for Medicaid from the HCFAC account.
CMS has undertaken several steps to improve its Medicaid financial management activities, including its efforts to oversee state claims for federal reimbursement and to identify payment errors. CMS hired about 90 funding specialists, thus enhancing its ability to address high-risk state funding practices that inappropriately increase federal costs. CMS also created a new unit that centralized responsibility for approving state plan amendments related to reimbursement. CMS continued to identify billions of dollars in questionable federal reimbursement through focused financial reviews. CMS also set goals aimed at reducing questionable federal reimbursement and holding financial managers accountable and enhanced its internal processes for tracking results of its financial management activities. These and other efforts, such as CMS's approach for measuring payment errors under the Improper Payments Information Act, represent improvements in the processes that CMS uses in its oversight of states. While these actions also address previously identified weaknesses and recommendations from our 2002 report, it is too soon to assess the impact they will have on improving overall financial management and addressing emerging issues that put federal Medicaid dollars at risk because some have just recently been initiated and results are not known yet. Further, there are a number of previously identified weaknesses that the agency has not yet addressed. Specifically, CMS has not instituted mechanisms to measure how the risk of inappropriate federal reimbursement has changed as a result of corrective actions taken. In addition, CMS has not incorporated the use of the Medicaid Statistical Information System database into its oversight of states' claims or other systems projects intended to improve its analysis capabilities. Further, CMS has not developed profiles to document information on state fraud and abuse controls to use in its oversight of state claims. Finally, CMS has not developed a strategic plan specific to its Medicaid financial management activities. Because these issues are important to further improving and sustaining CMS's oversight activities, we reiterate and build on our prior recommendations in these areas. During fiscal years 2003 through 2005, CMS received almost $46 million from the HCFAC account that it used to help fund programs related to its oversight of the Medicaid program, including about $12 million for the funding specialists for fiscal years 2004 and 2005. The funding specialist positions have been funded on an annual basis with appropriations from the HCFAC account. There is the chance that adequate funding might not be provided through the HCFAC process in any given year for the funding specialists; therefore, creating permanent funding specialist positions is important. CMS used the other $34 million for other projects such as researching options for automating the Medicaid state plan process, and interagency agreements with the OIG to conduct audits of high-risk areas. GAO obtained documentation to support the use of HCFAC funds for these projects.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: According to CMS, while it has repeatedly requested authority to create permanent funding specialist positions, department-levels officials have not approved its requests. Funding specialist positions are presently funded with Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) funding, which requires annual approval. For example, according to CMS officials, they put a provision in CMS's fiscal year 2007 budget submission, but the provision was rejected during department-level discussions. As of August 2010, it remains unclear why such requests have been repeatedly rejected. According to CMS, the individuals filling these positions have been critical to achieving over $4 billion in reported financial benefits over the past four years. We will continue to monitor CMS efforts in this area. A request for an update was initially sent on 1/22/2016. No response was received so a followup email was sent on 7/18/2016.
Recommendation: To further improve and sustain CMS's oversight of state claims, including its ability to identify and address emerging issues, the Administrator of CMS should create permanent funding specialist positions.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: States must provide Medicaid program information--specifically, data on eligibility and claims--to CMS through the national Medicaid Statistical Information System (MSIS). CMS determined it could make these data available for use by the financial analysts and funding specialists through a Web-based statistical summary Data Mart. CMS developed the MSIS State Summary Data Mart to extract pre-aggregated data for pre-determined dimensions and measures and display the aggregated statistics for analysis. The quarterly data mart includes summary information on Medicaid eligibility and utilization. The available measures are: unique eligible count, unique beneficiary count, total claims count, total Medicaid paid amount, encounter total claims count, unique encounter beneficiaries count, unique enrollees, total days of care count, and inpatient discharge total count. According to CMS, the data mart supports review of broad payment patterns and trends. The data mart is readily available to financial management staff. Use of comprehensive Medicaid state payment data reported to MSIS by financial analysts and funding specialists could be a helpful tool to improve CMS's analysis capabilities.
Recommendation: To further improve and sustain CMS's oversight of state claims, including its ability to identify and address emerging issues, the Administrator of CMS should determine what systems projects are needed to further enhance data analysis capabilities.

Peppers, Kiedis celebrate with energetic show
Anthony Kiedis is living proof that 50 is the new 20.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman turned a half-century-old in Milwaukee Thursday, celebrating the occasion with his band and a primarily full BMO Harris Bradley Center. Initially wearing a formal black jacket with tails, it wasn't long before he was shirtless. And very rarely, if at all Thursday, was he still - whether he was spinning around like a karate master caught in a cyclone or busting out his own interpretation of PSY's "Gangnam Style" galloping horse shuffle - and those moves were during just one song, "Around The World." (Fans brought their own special moves as well, at least in section 407 where I sat; at one point, I found myself completely smashed between two full-body dancers with no concept of personal space.) »Read Full Article(6)

NIST guidelines, FISMA reform and DHS oversight bolster security moves
All three developments reflect the conclusion that agencies must monitor their networks continuously and manage security risks more effectively — and move beyond current requirements to file what many agree are outdated security compliance reports under the Federal Information Security Management Act.
Related stories:
Faster networks, closer inspection fend off agile threats
FISMA's future may lie in State Department security model
Consensus is growing for reform of flawed FISMA
As the National Institute of Standards and Technology now sees it, and spells out in upcoming new guidance, agencies should take a three-tiered approach to continuous network monitoring, said panelist Marianne Swanson, senior advisor for information system security at NIST. Continuous monitoring needs to occur at the organization level, mission level and system level, she said.
Most of NIST's network security guidance over the past 10 years has been at the system level, and focused on certification and authorization, she said. What's needed now is assessment and authorization using a risk management framework.
Over the next few weeks, NIST plans to publish guidance on security strategy, performance metrics, risk tolerance and the frequency and types of monitoring controls agencies should consider using on an organizationwide basis, Swanson said. NIST also plans to provide recommendations for managing, configuring, gathering and reporting monitoring results at the mission level and approaches for implementing monitoring tools and assessing automated security controls at the system level.
Swanson stressed that, although automation is important, "continuous monitoring shouldn't be all about automated controls," arguing that some resources must still go toward management, personnel and physical security.
NIST also plans to release two other documents next month: One is a contingency planning guide; the other focuses on managing supply-chain risks. It will include recommended practices government agencies should follow in procuring software and hardware products — and which industry can use in developing supply chain practices that meet government requirements.
She said NIST won't define when systems may be too compromised to continue operating. "NIST guidance will always say that the senior official makes the risk decision," she said. But "they need the evidence on how the system truly is operating, so they can make a judgment. Right now, they don't have that."
How well agencies manage their overall network security risks was once the job of the Office of Management and Budget. That job now belongs to the Homeland Security Department, said Matt Coose, director of federal network security at DHS, who also spoke on the panel.
DHS is concentrating its efforts in four areas, he said: Assessing threats, through the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team; influencing security policy; enabling agencies to execute those policies, through best-o- breed examples; and measuring how agencies are doing, discerning what's working.
That effort is still only beginning to get traction, said Karen Evans, former OMB administrator for e-government and IT, who chaired the discussion. That's in part because DHS is still getting up to speed with that responsibility and because agencies are still only obliged to follow current FISMA rules.
Efforts to reform the FISMA rules took an important step forward last week when a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee approved a bill requiring continuous cybersecurity automated monitoring.
But according to panelist Erik Hopkins, professional staff member on the Senate subcommittee that examines government information technology, it will likely be the end year before work on the FISMA Act of 2010 is completed.
In discussing Congress's perspective on FISMA, he said, "It is protection of the information we care most about. But you have to define what the boundaries are…and what is a system." By some definitions, he said, a spreadsheet could be considered a system.
"We want to know what the American public is getting back for the $10 billion (annually) spend on security," he said.
Bob Dix, vice president of U.S. government affairs and critical infrastructure for Juniper Networks, voiced concern, however, that even with all theprogress that has been made because of FISMA, many agencies are still operating aging software systems that were never designed for the kinds of security demands being imposed on them today. And many other government systems are owned and managed by commercial parties, he said, putting them outside FISMA's full reach.

The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Security monitoring is ONLY effective when an organization has established guidelines for what traffic/use "SHOULD" be on the network. By using a "white list" approach mapping approved applications to perimeter ports and shutting off non-essential access, monitoring usage and communications it places management is a much stronger position than trying to fend off the millions and millions of threat actions in the wild. Put another way, monitoring 12 approved business applications and 500 users is a lot easier than defending and watching out for 1,000,000s of stuff you want to keep out. Current alarm-response methods only perpetuate the madness and failed methods way too many still embrace.
Both pre-deploy independent certification/accreditation and real-time monitoring are important, but both only look for the 'known' risks per a checklist. (The alternative, noting all changes isn't realistic given today's diverse and complex systems.) Only professional hackers (Red and Black Teams) can find the 'unknown' weaknesses. One way to make automated monitoring easier is force resets back to a baseline -- essentially remove the persistance. There's many ways to do this - boot from CD/.iso, in a VM revert back to previous image, etc. By analyzing repeated deltas from baseline, trends and real anonmolies become significantly apparent.

What was your source for this quilting project?
Online Photo or Website
Name of website or photo Stars and Stripes Mug Rug
What are you most proud of? My son - of course! In terms of the mug rug - I like that I have used some of the red, white and blue fabrics I had in my stash and my scraps bag.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? If you are unconfident with stitching 1/4" seams you can always make your fabric with the 1/4" seam prior to stitching and then all you have to do is stitch along the marked line. But this pattern is a fairly easy make - you just have to choose the fabrics.
Such an easy project, very enjoyable
very cute!! will have to make some for my military friends!! they will love them!
They are a good 'all rounder' - great for male relations and the flag holidays too.
Where is this pattern
It is in my shop - called Stars and Stripes Mug Rug. You can click on the link in red under the photo and it will take you through. I hope you enjoy making it. Kindness Amanda a.k.a. The Patchsmith
