One of the mysteries surrounding this beautiful native species involves a common name by which it sometimes goes: "Horsefly weed." I don't have a clue where this name comes from; if you know, please tell me: it's probably a great story. [Common names are a lot of fun, of course, but they are also often misleading and somewhat confusing. Recently, someone was asking me about a plant in his yard, a plant that I identified as a species of Monarda, in the mint family, and I told him that its common name was "Bee-balm". Turns out that this gentleman knew a different plant as "Bee-balm", and he sent me a picture of it: a species of Centaurea, in the aster family, which I had always heard called "Bachelors buttons", or "Raggedy sailors". Oh well, there just aren't any rules involved with the use of common names.]
This week's Mystery Plant is a member of the bean family, and is fairly common from Maine south to Georgia, and then inland through all of West Virginia and down into Tennessee and Kentucky. It is less common in the Midwest, probably reaching its western limit in Wisconsin. It is fond of dry, open habitats, and is at home in sandy places. It has been important as a source of herbal medicines, and was widely used by Native Americans. It was also used as a substitute for the indigo of commerce, and has achieved something of a reputation as a native dye plant.
The plants, when large enough, are highly branched, and bushy. The stems and foliage are quite smooth, sometimes bluish and waxy looking. The leaves are very similar to those of a clover, with three leaflets--in this case, the leaflets are somewhat rounded at the tips. Flowers appear in clusters at the ends of the branches. Each flower is pea-shaped, with five brilliant yellow petals. The petals are of three sorts. The uppermost petal is the largest, and is called the "standard". Two lateral petals are the "wings", and two lower petals, which closely envelop the stamens and single pistil, are called "keel" petals. This architecture is typical of many (not all) members of the bean family. We botanists are not unknown to fits of poetic description, and we refer to this flower form as butterfly-shaped, or "papilionaceous". (I will admit that this description requires a bit of imagination upon the part of the observer.) The ten stamens within the flower are all separate; note that in many members of the bean family, the stamens will occur in two groups or "brotherhoods": one group of nine, and another single stamen, all by itself. Following the flowers, snug little legumes or pods will form, each about an inch long, and sitting at the end of a little stalk. The pods eventually turn black.

The 12 Least Impressive Boasts in Rap Lyrics
Rappers love to brag about all the fun stuff they get to do and all the cool people they get to meet. And why wouldn't they? I'm sure having hoes in every area code is way more awesome than having a mortgage on a three-bedroom home in the suburbs or whatever other mundane achievement normal people strive for.
But sometimes, those boasts stray into territory that seems anything but impressive. And that's good, because I've literally made a career out of making fun of them for it. Why do I keep going back to this same well over and over? Because it never runs dry, that's why.
In today's episode, we'll be taking a look at a few rappers who took their boasting to new heights by shouting out some of the dorkiest things imaginable. Things that not even the commonest of commoners would ever be excited about.
Here are 12 of the lamest boasts in recent hip-hop history...
#12. Drake - "Headlines"
The Lyric
"Tuck my napkin in my shirt cuz I'm just mobbin like that"
Why It's Lame
Look, I'm not even 100% sure what "mobbin" means, but I've heard rappers use that word hundreds of times. There is no way in hell that they're referring to tucking a napkin in your shirt like a 6-year-old eating chicken noodle soup at the dinner table.
"I'm from the streets bitch!"
Ice Cube has an entire song called "Steady Mobbin" and if there even is a mention of a napkin in the lyrics, which I'm sure there's not, it would likely be referring to the one he used to clean up all the jizz after nailing some hoodrat in the back of an Impala.
Tell me about the drugs you've sold or the people you've shot or all the money you made before you were old enough to legally drink and then I'll accept your "mobbin" boasts, Drake. Until then, what you consider "mobbin" is really just "being a pretentious dick at dinner." You might as well be boasting about all those years you spent playing the wheelchair bound kid on DeGrassi High.
#11. Young Jeezy - "Black Dreams"
The Lyric
"Holla at ya boy, yeah I can do alot for ya, Speakin my language if you talkin bout tilapia"
Why It's Lame
Tilapia? Your language is that relatively cheap fish you can buy in bags from the frozen section of damn near every grocery store on earth? That's your language?
He's also fluent in salmon.
To Jeezy's credit, and I can't believe I just referred to a grown man as "Jeezy", I did run a quick Urban Dictionary search for "tilapia" and have determined that he's referring to one of four things:
1. Cocaine
2. Vagina
3. Filipino vagina
4. A person who smells
He's probably talking about cocaine, but I'm holding out at least some hope that he's talking about Filipino vagina, because I love specifics.
#10. Lil Wayne - "3 Peat"
The Lyric
"I just do this shit for my click like Adam Sandler"
Why It's Lame
Yes, I get it, this is clever. Because, see, Click was the name of an Adam Sandler movie, right? But also, Adam Sandler has a long track record of casting his close friends in all of his films. Close friends who would probably be unemployed otherwise. And close friends could also be referred to as a "clique." So Adam Sandler's movie career is all to help his friends out, and Lil' Wayne is similarly charitable with his less talented friends.
So, clever, yes. But think about the implications here. Basically, Lil' Wayne is saying he's the Adam Sandler of rap. By extension, this would make Drake the Kevin James of rap and Nicki Minaj the Rob Schneider of rap. And all of the other anonymous members of his clique are just that dude with the bushy eyebrows who shows up in every Sandler movie despite not even having a name.
Who the fuck are you?
Is this really what you're aspiring to be, Lil' Wayne? Wouldn't you rather be the Judd Apatow of rap or something? Have some standards, man.
#9. Timbaland - "All Y'all"
The Lyric
"Live life to the fullest, drive cars, eat hot food, live in a mansion next to Hanson"
Why It's Lame
Man, talk about a roller coaster ride of a boast. When you hear "live life to the fullest" you're like "Yeah, man, that's how I want to live my life." But then you get to "drive cars, eat hot food" and you're all "Shit, you mean I'm already living life to the fullest? That's disappointing."
But things quickly take a turn for the better with "live in a mansion" and you're thinking "Right, we're back on track now. Hot food in a mansion. That's the best food, Timbaland, the best!" And then it all comes crashing down when you find out that mansion is "next to Hanson" and you decide you'd rather keep your day job than move in next to a band of shitty one-hit wonders.
And why in the hell would the members of Hanson not have their own homes? Weren't those dudes all damn near in their 30's by the time this song came out? And before anyone asks, no, I can't Google that information, because I don't care.
#8. Kanye West - "Big Brother"
The Lyric
"I told Jay I did a song with Coldplay"
Why It's Lame
Motherfucker did you just say Coldplay? You did a song with Coldplay and you're bragging about it to people? You're a rapper, for the love of God. Doing a song with Coldplay isn't the kind of thing you boast about, it's the kind of thing you blame your record label for making you do because they felt the rest of the songs on your album weren't commercial enough.
"Trust us on this one. We wouldn't have our arms crossed if we didn't understand rap music."
Don't get me wrong, Coldplay is a great band provided you've never heard of Radiohead and you have no personality. But, as a rapper, you just can't go bragging about recording songs with Coldplay. Why not just say "I did a song with a band that I hope will make more white people like me?" That's way more honest.
#7. Warren G - "I Want It All"
The Lyric
"I want it all, brand new socks and drawers"
Why It's Lame
Man, how sad is this? In the middle of a song chock full of shout-outs to the finer things in life, Warren G throws "news socks and drawers" in the mix. The implications here are staggeringly depressing. Almost as depressing as his stint on VH1's Celebrity Fit Club
Above: Rock Bottom
Has Warren G seriously never had a pair of new socks and underwear up to this point in his life? Or did he squander the money he made from that "Regulators" song so severely that he never managed to work his way up from a life of wearing second hand tighty-whities? Has he actually been buying that used underwear at a thrift store or just, like, getting them from Snoop Dogg when he was done with them?
Whatever the answers to those questions may be, never having new socks and drawers is some Sarah McLachlan abused pet commercial level sadness. If someone can confirm that Warren G did finally get the mint condition undergarments he's always dreamed of, I'd sleep a whole lot better tonight. Thanks.

Lady Gaga took a selfie in an oxygen mask late Wednesday, saying she'd been hospitalized for altitude sickness after her concert in Denver.
"Altitude Sickness is no Joke!" the pop star, 28, wrote on Instagram. "#hitThatHospitalS--t #artRaveDenver many true ravers crowd tonight."
The mile-high malady is hardly unusual in Colorado, of course. The Denver website has a whole section on how to deal with the altitude.
Something tells us Gaga might not have heeded tip No. 4, "Watch your physical activity," during her "artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball" show.
The pop star's next concert, in Seattle on Friday, is scheduled to go on as planned.

In the summer of 1942, twenty-one-year-old Anne Calloway, newly engaged, sets off to serve in the Army Nurse Corps on the Pacific island of Bora-Bora. More exhilarated by the adventure of a lifetime than she ever was by her predictable fiancé, she is drawn to a mysterious soldier named Westry, and their friendship soon blossoms into hues as deep as the hibiscus flowers native to the island. Under the thatched roof of an abandoned beach bungalow, the two share a private world-until they witness a gruesome crime, Westry is suddenly redeployed, and the idyll vanishes into the winds of war.
A timeless story of enduring passion from the author of Blackberry Winter and The Violets of March, The Bungalow chronicles Anne's determination to discover the truth about the twin losses-of life, and of love-that have haunted her for seventy years.

When the ancient Greeks first conceived the idea of an Olympics, this is what they had in mind; spirited competition for the sake of competition and camaraderie where every athlete is a champion.
On Friday, April 11, the annual Spring Special Olympics Track and Field Day sponsored by the Berkeley County School District rocked the house at the track at Bonner Stadium at Berkeley High School.
The annual track and field meet featured more than 150 athletes from 10 schools, six county high schools and four middle schools, including 150 student volunteers. Athletes competed in a variety of track and field events such as the 50-meter and 100-meter dashes, the softball throw, a soccer goal kick skills event, and a jump house for the athletes entertainment.
The student athletes gather for the love of competition where winning places second to having fun.
The kids always feel so special that the day is for them and that they get mentioned in the newspaper, said event coordinator Maria Davis, a BHS Special Education teacher. Berkeley High School was thrilled to host this event again this year.
Davis said each athlete had been training for weeks, and many of them beat their goal time in the running and distance in the softball throw competitions.
It is always amazing to see all of the athletes excited about their success and getting to share their success, she said. We are so thankful to the community for supporting these athletes by volunteering time or materials to help make the day a success.
I am having the time of my life, said William Capps, an 18-year old Timberland student athlete who competed in the 100-meter dash and the softball throw. I cant believe I ran that far.
According to a BCSD release, the games are funded by the school district and a Special Olympics Project UNIFY grant, which is issued by the U.S. Department of Education in combination with Special Olympics North America.

Rove vs. The Tea Party
February 11, 2013
During the 2012 election cycle, Tea Partiers were told by their supposed betters that their ignorance of everyday politics meant that they should take a back seat to the Republican Party......
"will defend us as a minority, right?"
Just as the con(man)servative view regarding LGBT rights, you have no standing for any protection, since political party is a choice. Why is it that those who choose the teaparty, do not have a "T" as their party listing in Congress? Pass the popcorn.

Berkeley County Council once again voted a decisive "no" to council member Steve Davis' resolution to ban smoking in public places in Berkeley County.
Council member Dennis Fish said in July - after Davis first presented the resolution - that where and when an individual smokes should not be up to the government to decide.
"People should have the right to smoke or not smoke and not have the government interfering in our rights and dictate what we do," he said. "Just like riding a motorcycle and wearing a helmet. There is no helmet law in South Carolina but I still choose to wear a helmet because it is my choice to do so, not because the government mandates I should."
Fish was absent from Monday night's county council meeting.
Davis brought the issue up for discussion again during the Facilities and Code Enforcement Committee meeting. After Caldwell Pinckney made a motion to approve it, a pall of silence fell over the council chamber while waiting for a second, nearly killing the proposal.
"Government at its finest," Pinckney said.
Davis found the lack of a second troubling.
"I don't know why people are scared to discuss something," he said. "That's a cowardly approach by council members. It's not saying that you support it or are in favor, but not even to have a discussion is really, really disheartening."
Davis asked whether he could carry on a 21-hour filibuster like in the U.S. Congress, and then told the story about his uncle who was a career smoker and came down with emphysema.
"It's a sad commentary that parties fail to discuss an issue," he said. "The purpose of county council is to present topics in the spirit of discussion and debate."
Davis vowed to put the topic on his agenda as long as he was a member of county council.
Council member Tim Callanan eventually seconded the motion for the purpose of discussion and the motion failed by a 4-2 vote.
Steve Davis and Pinckney voted in favor of the resolution while Callanan, Ken Gunn, Cathy Davis and Phillip Farley voted against it. Fish was absent and Jack Schurlknight left before the vote.
In other business, council cleared the way for the Martin Marietta limestone quarry expansion in Jamestown by approving the resolution out of the Land Use Committee.
"This has been a rather lengthy rezoning process," said county planning director Eric Greenway. "Martin Marietta has agreed to abide by the self-imposed restrictions and covenants.
Greenway said the county was able to define what constitutes mining operations through discussions with the attorneys and management from Martin Marietta. Also settled over the course of the three readings were several citizens' concerns such as hours of operation, safety standards, and noise levels during blasting.
Martin Marietta has committed to abide by the hours of operation 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The limestone mining company has also committed to provide a buffer around the quarry property line.
According to Greenway, the county also worked with Martin Marietta to conduct blasting noise tests and consistently the noise levels were far below the listed levels for the zoned area.
"Martin Marietta in my opinion has done everything they've been asked to do," Greenway said. "I applaud their efforts in working with the community and the county."
Steve Davis, who represents District 8, which includes Jamestown, also praised the effort of cooperation between Martin Marietta and local residents.
"I want to applaud the citizens who diligently fought for these conditions," he said. "It was always been my process not to tamper with the planning commission. They approved the rezoning with conditions but I think in the spirit of compromise this is the best we can do and I thank all the parties involved to help this come to fruition."
The resolution will get its final reading before council during its Oct. 28 meeting following a required public hearing.
Council proclaimed the week of Oct. 23-31 as Red Ribbon Week throughout Berkeley County. The proclamation represents the 23rd year the Berkeley County Prevention Board has made a visible and unified commitment toward the creation of a safe and drug-free Berkeley County.
The Berkeley County Prevention Board is a sponsored by the Ernest E. Kennedy Center and its Prevention Department.

IMF Campaign on Health Reform
IMF is leading a campaign calling on Congress to retain a sharp focus on critical elements of health reform. Essential issues of immediate importance to patients should not be lost in partisan battles:
To show your support for this position, please contact your Congressional Representative and Senators, share these priorities with friends and colleagues, and watch this space for more action items.
Just click here and enter your zip code next to Abraham Lincoln in the "Contact Congress" button and write to ALL of your representatives with one click! Join our efforts. It's easy!
Congress Continues to Work on Health Reform
Since the election of Senator elect Scott Brown (R-MA), progress in passing health care reform legislation has significantly slowed. Congressional leaders are currently determining how to pass this important legislation as well as what a final package might look like and what the timing might be. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) indicated she does not have the votes to pass the Senate passed version of health care reform. Current options being considered include only passing legislation that excludes the controversial provisions of health care reform as well as passing health care reform using the budget reconciliation process which would only require a simple majority and is filibuster proof in the Senate.
While IMF has not taken an official position on the House and Senate passed legislation, IMF has been monitoring a couple of provisions that impact myeloma patients including the closing of the Medicare "donut hole" and the inclusion of the Brown-Hutchison clinical trials amendment in the final bill. IMF endorsed the Brown-Hutchison amendment. Our House and Senate champions on clinical trials coverage remain fully committed to aggressively pursuing the provision in whatever form health reform takes.
President Releases Federal Budget on February 1, 2010
On Monday, February 1st, the President will release his budget for fiscal year (FY) 2011. In light of recent statements from the President on fiscal restraint during the State of the Union address, we expect a majority of the programs that IMF supports could be flat-funded or worse sustain cuts. An analysis of the President's budget will be included in the next issue of the Myeloma Advocacy Update.
Cancer Research, Early Detection, Prevention, and Treatment
In 2009, former Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) introduced S 717, the 21st Century Cancer Access to Life-Saving Early Detection, Research, and Treatment (ALERT) Act. This legislation is an update to the National Cancer Act of 1971. The ALERT Act was put on hold for health care reform and the death of Senator Kennedy. Senator Hutchison is committed to moving this legislation and will be teaming up with Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to move the ALERT Act following passage of health care reform legislation. Additionally, Representative Lois Capps (D-CA) has voiced interest in introducing the House companion to the ALERT Act.

1993 Deville
by Alwaysonthego from Las Vegas, NV | August 3, 2012
Purchased this 93 Deville with only 50,000 miles on it, but just standing in the garage for past few years. Put in a new battery, it started right away and drove it home. That was 3 months ago, today it's got new Micheline tires, new coat of wax, interior cleaned and looks and feels like new. V8 power, great handling and stability, and fantastic comfort on the road. The forerunner of today's new style of Cadillac. A car you can be proud to own. Pure luxury on the road. :)

GM Mark of Excellence
by Dylan T from Kentucky | September 28, 2011
This vehicle has been owned by my parents since new. This car has 123k miles on it and it still runs and looks excellent, The only thing we have done to it is have the water pump replaced, and regular maintenence of course. The paint is starting to peel badly so it will need a paint job soon. I really like the pick up of the acceleration, it is very quick for an older sedan, the only thing I really don't like about it is the fact that it's FWD, but it's good for winter, but I still like rear better. The Interior is especially excellent, it has the most comfortable seating that I have ever had in any vehicle. We have had 4 newer Cadillacs since then and none have been nearly as good as this one. The new Cadillacs are very cheeply made compared to this one.

The letter to the editor Feb. 2 should read; The dismal failure of "The War on Poverty." L.B.J's plan was to give the poor an "opportunity not doles." A plan to decrease welfare dependency and raise everyone out of poverty.
The progressive "War on Poverty" has spent $20 trillion since 1965. The administrative costs are estimated at over 70 percent. How do you account for these expenditures? The government subsidizes 120 welfare programs but yet the HHS website claims "We not sure what we are paying for and whether the funds are being spent in a cost effective manner." The way the current system works, it would be too resource intensive to even try and find out the answer. Accountability? Why does our government reward bad decision making, and addictive, irresponsible behavior?
Walter Williams (George Mason University) gave us a recipe for "How not to be poor." 1.) graduate from high school. 2.) get married before you have children and stay married. 3.) work at any job, even one that starts at the minimum wage. 4.) avoid criminal activity. These recommendations should be a part of every school curriculum. The war on poverty has become a substitute for a male head of household.

Buffalo has a new after-school arts program for at-risk high-school students – and a familiar educator to run it.
Amber M. Dixon, a longtime administrator with the Buffalo Public Schools who served earlier this year as interim superintendent, will lead the Buffalo Arts and Technology Center, which is to be located in Artspace Buffalo Lofts, it was announced Wednesday.
The center, which is expected to open in 2014, also will provide health sciences career training for underemployed and unemployed adults, geared toward the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus and other local needs.
"What makes this so unique is we're attacking the problems of struggling cities by both intervening with our youth to encourage them to graduate from high school, and with their families and the community by making sure underemployed and unemployed adults have the skills necessary to find jobs," Dixon said.
Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy, who has become a regular presence at newsmaking events and ribbon-cuttings in Western New York, made the announcement at Artspace.
"The Buffalo Arts and Technology Center, which received Western New York Regional [Economic Development] Council funding, aligns with the council's goal of connecting people and jobs," Duffy said.
"Today, with the addition of Amber Dixon, who has a wealth of knowledge and experience in education, the BATC is well on its way to making real progress in our region's workforce development goals and addressing the disconnect between training, education and the job market."
The linkage of art and vocational training programs is modeled after the Manchester Bidwell Corp. in Pittsburgh, a concept that has spread to several cities, including Cleveland, Cincinnati, San Francisco, New Haven, Conn., and Grand Rapids, Mich. The company also has an international presence.
"We have a simple philosophy – environment shapes people's lives. By constructing an empowering atmosphere of art, light, music and a staff that strives to realize the genius in everyone, we enable our students to become productive society members," Manchester Bidwell Corp.'s website says in explaining the organization.
"What makes me the most excited is having been to Pittsburgh, and visiting the Manchester Bidwell Corp.," Dixon said. "Their graduation rate for students who have taken part in the program is between 90 and 95 percent. Raising high school graduation rates is essential to ensuring a better future for this city, and this will help do that."
Dixon said the immediate goal is to serve more than 400 students and 200 adults during the first three years. She also said she would make "every effort" to launch the program in 2013.
An 18-month feasibility study led to the announcement of the center's creation in January.
More than $4 million in public and private dollars was provided, primarily by the John R. Oishei Foundation, First Niagara Financial Group and Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, along with Empire State Development Corp. and the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council.
The funds will be used for the 14,000-square-foot center's design, by HHL Architects of Buffalo, and the build-out of vacant space on the first and lower floors at Artspace Buffalo Lofts, 1219 Main St. It also will pay for Dixon's salary, which she declined to disclose.
"I'm excited by the opportunity to take advantage of Buffalo's strong cultural institutions in order to make this a reality," Dixon said. "We love the location in Artspace and look forward to interactions between students and our center, and the artists who live and work there."

Police say in the past few months they've received several calls about the "animals." They're accused of scratching cars. One woman even reported damage.
But it's not a bunch of car prowlers -- rather a group of wild peacocks.
Watch: Peacock attacks car
The peacocks have run wild in Union Gap for years. But, recently they run in and out of traffic causing people to slam on their brakes.
Their high-pitched mating call has also been disturbing.
"There's been six, seven cars backed up waiting for them," said Lisa Hampton.
"It sounds like a cat, like a really loud cat," said neighbors Austin and Torri Deleone.
Todd Pulse said the peacocks gather on his property on S. 3rd Avenue. Most people think they're his, but he says that's not true. He just can't get rid of them.
"I move them around, chase them around, but that's all you can do," Todd said.
Todd says most people might think he's cruel for wanting them gone. But Todd says he's the one who has to deal with them.
"There's complaints all the time. The peacocks go across the road. I would like to see them be relocated," Todd said.
Police say they feel like a pretty bad accident can happen if the animals keep darting in and out of the busy streets near Ahtanum Road.
Police say they still aren't sure what they'll do with the peacocks. A sanctuary is willing to accept them. The trouble is police would have to catch them first.
Catching them is something Todd's been trying to do for years.
In spite of the trouble, some say the animals should stay.
"Sometimes you have to slow down when you're crossing the street, but they seem generally harmless," said Cherree Dilley, owner of nearby Cherree's Espresso.
"I think they should stay. It's part of nature," said Lisa.
A part of nature...with law enforcement on its tail.
UPDATE: The city of Union Gap now says they plan to install "Peacock Crossing" signs. The city released this statement after KIMA first aired the story:
The City of Union Gap announced, today, that it has contacted the Washington State Fish and Wildlife Department for suggestions for dealing with the city's wild peacock problem. A gaggle of wild peacocks have taken up residence along Wide Hollow Creek adjacent to Ahtanum Road near the 3rd Avenue crossing in Union Gap. The birds are descendants of tame peacocks that escaped into the wild many years ago.
The Union Gap Police Department, responding to reports of peacocks attacking cars parked in the area, contacted Morgan Grant of the State Fish and Wildlife Department. Mr. Grant stated that the wild peacocks should be treated just like wild turkeys but may actually be more dangerous. City officials believe that the attacks on cars may come from the peacocks mistaking their reflections in the finish of cars as rivals for the attention of female peahens. During the mating season, April to September, peacocks may become aggressive. The city is working with landowners seeking to relocate peacocks resident on their properties. The city will be installing "Peacock Crossing" signs in the area to alert motorists to be on the lookout for the birds.

This podcast accompanies the October 8th edition of the MSDN Flash newsletter.
It is an interview with Paul Jackson which is meant to be about the article he wrote on Memory Mapped Files in .NET Framework 4.0 but tends to go off in different directions – but we both certainly enjoyed doing it I was interested to hear how he was getting on with Oslo and why he was revisiting ASP.NET after many years of focus on XAML.

A small town that is the most southwesterly city in the United States. Unlike the other definitions say, it is not a city full of assholes. It is like any other normal small town, it has its good and its bad parts. Yes there may be some assholes but there is assholes everywhere not just here. Most of the people are pretty chill and relaxed. It is not dangerous as others have written. Of course if you go and act stupid with the wrong people then it will b dangerous. Just dont be a dumbass and you'll be good. It is a nice beach town where you can go to the beach and relax.
I went to Imperial Beach the other day with my friends and we went to relax at the beach.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
A chess set made out of light bulbs by Ben Schachter, associate professor of fine arts at Saint Vincent College, recently appeared in a video on the New York Times website. The video is a review of an exhibition of the Lewis chess set at the Cloisters museum in New York City. Discovered in Scotland more than 800 years ago, the Lewis chess set, featured in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, is now on display. At the end of the video, there are a few brief shots of other unusual contemporary chess sets including one crafted by Mr. Schachter. He is credited at the end of the video. The Cloisters museum and gardens, the branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe, was assembled from architectural elements, both domestic and religious, that date from the twelfth through the fifteenth century.

Aberrant biochemical and metabolite signaling plays an important role in the development and progression of diseased tissue. This concept has been studied by the science community for decades. However, with relatively recent advances in analytical technology and bioinformatics as well as the development of the Human Metabolome Database (HMDB), metabolomics has become an invaluable field of research.
At the "International Conference and Exhibition on Metabolomics & Systems Biology" held recently in San Francisco, researchers and industry leaders discussed how the underlying cellular biochemical/metabolite fingerprint in response to a specific disease state, toxin exposure, or pharmaceutical compound is useful in clinical diagnosis and biomarker discovery and in understanding disease development and progression.
Developed by BASF, MetaMap® Tox is a database that helps identify in vivo systemic effects of a tested compound, including targeted organs, mechanism of action, and adverse events. Based on 28-day systemic rat toxicity studies, MetaMap Tox is composed of differential plasma metabolite profiles of rats after exposure to a large variety of chemical toxins and pharmaceutical compounds.
"Using the reference data, we have developed more than 110 patterns of metabolite changes, which are specific and predictive for certain toxicological modes of action," said Hennicke Kamp, Ph.D., group leader, department of experimental toxicology and ecology at BASF.
With MetaMap Tox, a potential drug candidate can be compared to a similar reference compound using statistical correlation algorithms, which allow for the creation of a toxicity and mechanism of action profile.
"MetaMap Tox, in the context of early pre-clinical safety enablement in pharmaceutical development," continued Dr. Kamp, has been independently validated "by an industry consortium (Drug Safety Executive Council) of 12 leading biopharmaceutical companies."
By allowing for quick and accurate decisions on the safety and efficacy of compounds during early and preclinical toxicological studies, this technology may prove invaluable for high-throughput drug candidate screening, added Dr. Kamp. Furthermore, by comparing a lead compound to a variety of molecular derivatives, the rapid identification of the most optimal molecular structure with the best efficacy and safety profiles might be streamlined.
Biocrates Life Sciences focuses on targeted metabolomics, an important approach for the accurate quantification of known metabolites within a biological sample. Originally used for the clinical screening of inherent metabolic disorders from dried blood-spots of newborn children, Biocrates has developed a tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) platform, which allows for the identification, quantification, and mapping of more than 800 metabolites to specific cellular pathways.
Based on "flow injection analysis and high-performance liquid chromatography MS/MS," according to Guido Dallmann, Ph.D., director, customer method development, biomarker and funding, at Biocrates, the MetaDisIDQ® Kit is a new generation "multiparamatic" diagnostic assay designed for the "comprehensive assessment of a person's metabolic state" and the early determination of pathophysiological events with regards to a specific disease.
With the use of isotopically labeled internal standards, MetaDisIDQ is designed to quantify a diverse range of 181 metabolites involved in major metabolic pathways, from a small amount of human serum (10 µL).
In animal and clinical studies, the value of this kit has been demonstrated with its ability to detect changes in metabolites that are commonly associated with the development of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and diabetic nephropathy, according to Dr. Dallmann. Data generated with the MetaDisIDQ kit correlates strongly with routine chemical analyses of common metabolites including glucose and creatinine, he added.
Biocrates has also developed the MS/MS-based AbsoluteIDQ® kits, which are an "easy-to-use" biomarker analysis tool for laboratory research. The kit, which functions on MS machines from a variety of vendors, allows for the quantification of 150-180 metabolites.
The SteroIDQ® kit is a high-throughput standardized MS/MS diagnostic assay, validated in human serum, for the rapid and accurate clinical determination of 16 known steroids. Initially focusing on the analysis of steroid ranges in premenopausal women, for the potential development of optimized hormone replacement therapy, the SteroIDQ Kit is expected to have a wide clinical application, according to the company.

President Barack Obama's recent decision to deliver small arms to the Syrian rebels has placed the United States on a slippery slope with dangerous consequences. Much like President Ronald Reagan's deployment of U.S. Marines to Lebanon in 1983, we are entering into a conflict about which we have little knowledge and no clear allies. Our adventure in Lebanon left nearly 300 Americans dead with nothing to show for it. Intervention in Syria has the potential not just to engulf the Middle East but to spark World War III.
In March 2011 the Obama administration committed the U.S. military to the NATO-led effort that ousted Moammar Gadhafi. The intervention was given cover by a UN resolution authorizing a no-fly zone, which Russia did not veto because it did not believe it would be used for regime change. This was not the case, and Vladimir Putin vowed to vigorously resist further Western attempts at regime change. U.N. resolutions aimed at ousting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime have failed, and this American is glad of it.
This is not to say that Assad's cause is the right one. However, the ousters of both Saddam Hussein and Gadhafi proved that the law of unintended consequences hits hard when longtime regimes are ousted. The Syrian civil war has devolved into a multi-sided ethnic conflict: Sunni vs. Shiite, Muslim vs. Christian, Hezbollah vs. al-Qaida. Any leader would have to possess enormous hubris to think that Western intervention should or can produce a workable solution.
Obama's decision to intervene in the Syrian quagmire has an even more dangerous wrinkle. Russia has deployed naval and marine units offshore for the official reason of protecting 20,000 Russian nationals living in Syria. By deciding to reinforce American troops in Jordan Obama has become the first President since the Cold War to put American and Russian soldiers in direct contact in a potential war zone. It is one thing to knock off a tinpot dictator with a no-fly zone. It is quite another to risk a direct military confrontation with a nation owning over 3,000 nuclear warheads.
It would be folly to intervene in a conflict where we have few friends and all too many enemies. President Obama was elected in great part on his promise to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has now engaged the U.S. in Libya with nothing but a dead ambassador to show for it. Intervening in Syria at best means a prolonged conflict with minimal chance of a positive outcome. At worst it could involve the United States in a shooting war with Russia.
Considering how close we came to human tragedy in October 1962, I believe the United States would be best served by leaving the Syrian conflict to sort itself out.

For students:
Internet access is available at Philander Smith College residence halls, PSC offices, and many classrooms. In order to use the full range of Internet services, you need a PSC access account. Other than that, the requirements for access vary depending on your location. CIS provides software and support for Macintosh, and Windows computers. Everyone who uses the Internet access services at PSC has two choices: to connect by a backbone connection or to connect by Pscwireless. A backbone connection is a very high-speed connection to the PSC network and Internet, and may also be referred to as a network, Ethernet, FastEthernet, Gigabit Ethernet, or wireless. Generally, backbone connections are used on campus. If you are on campus, you are using a backbone connection. This type of connection is vastly superior to wireless: its connection rate is a constant 100mb or faster compared to 54mb or less for Pscwireless.
New viruses are written and released on a daily basis. Many of the more common viruses "morph" or change frequently to make them more difficult to detect. Viruses spread rapidly and by many different ways (for example, via e-mail attachments; infected document files; Web sites that contain hostile code that can infect your computer through vulnerable browsers; and unprotected file shares). Your computer may be vulnerable to virus attacks if you are not using antivirus and spyware software and updating it regularly.
Important - New computers often come with trial versions of antivirus software. Having two different antivirus programs installed on one computer can cause conflicts. Always uninstall the antivirus software that came on your computer before installing new antivirus software. Unfortunately, no one is immune to malicious programs and intrusions. The fact is, everyone has to do their part so that multiple protections are in place. Although CIS and Philander Smith College departments work to ensure a safe computing environment, every individual who owns a computer must protect themselves as well. Criminals who write malicious software are always looking for ways to overcome defenses, so multiple protective measures are necessary.
Relying on the fact that many computer users fail to install software patches on their machines, hackers create worms to take advantage of these vulnerabilities. Most software vendors, including Microsoft and Apple, offer updates to correct security gaps that worms and other malicious programs can use to attack your computer. Running AntiVirus is not enough.

A Big Year for the Clean Water Actby River Network
Way before I ever came to work at River Network, The Clean Water Act Owner's Manual, written by my colleague Gayle Killam, was a well-worn favorite for me and continues to be my regular go-to guide for how the law works. So, as the landmark Clean Water Act turns 43, we thought a look at some of the changes over the past year that continue to affect the details of the law and how it's implemented would be useful.
A Day Without Waterby River Network
Even writing here from North Carolina where we're under a flash flood watch following days of prolonged rain, a day without water isn't so hard to imagine given that most of the state has been abnormally dry or under moderate drought lately. But take a second to imagine – what if there was really no water? No clean water to drink, no water with which to flush the toilet, nowhere to paddle and nowhere to swim? Water is essential and we wouldn't last long, which is why the Value of Water Coalition is working to highlight the need to invest now in our water systems.

An 18-year-old Grand Island resident escaped with minor injuries from a raging fire in his family's townhouse early Monday, along with two cats, but a pet yellow Labrador retriever perished in the blaze that started with a candle, authorities said.
If it hadn't been for a rapid response from the nearby Grand Island Volunteer Fire Department, headquartered about a quarter-mile from the Whitehaven Road housing complex, damage could have been much worse, according to residents and fire officials.
Several 911 calls were received starting at 6:19 a.m. as flames were shooting out of a townhouse apartment at 2079 Whitehaven, where there were six other attached, two-story units. Residents were evacuated.
"We were very fortunate. The firefighters made a quick response. I can't believe how quickly they put out the fire. It was raging," said Thomas Muscoreil, who lives in a neighboring townhouse.
Town fire officials said the blaze was brought under control within 15 minutes.
The destroyed townhouse was home to Linda Smith and her teenage son, Christopher Ray-Castaldo. A nurse, Smith was working an overnight shift and was not home at the time, fire investigators said.
"The teenager told Deputy Dennis Orlowski that he was on the couch in the living room, and there was a candle on a table behind the couch. He lifted the blanket off himself, and it inadvertently went on top of the candle. When he came back from the kitchen, the fire had started," said Erie County Sheriff's Detective Steven J. Meerboth, who investigated the cause of the fire with Detective Shaun B. Hediger.
After receiving first aid for smoke inhalation and minor burns from Christian M. Krawczyk, a physician with the Volunteer Fire Department, the teenager was transported by Twin City Ambulance to Erie County Medical Center as a precaution, according to Grand Island Assistant Fire Chief Christopher M. Soluri. The teen was later released.
Muscoreil said, "The poor kid was outside in front of the townhouse. He was screaming."
Mark S. Sadkowski, another assistant fire chief, said the close proximity of Fire Headquarters allowed for an immediate response and containment of the blaze to one townhouse. "The flames were coming out the front windows, but fortunately we were right around the corner on Baseline Road," he said.
Terri M. Cicatello, acting property manager at Town Hall Terrace townhouses, said the two-story apartment was ruined.
Damage was estimated at $75,000 to the brick and wooden structure and $30,000 to its contents, according to Grand Island Fire Chief Kevin M. Koch.
Neighbors said the incident left them shocked.
"It was crazy. Firefighters were pounding our doors to get us out. They were quick about it," said Kandice Bradford, who resides in the attached townhouse.
"I feel sad for the boy, and I feel bad for the dog, but I'm glad it's not worse than that," said Deanna Claffey, another neighbor.
Mutual aid was provided by Brighton and Sheridan volunteer fire companies from the Town of Tonawanda, and a City of Tonawanda fire crew was on standby at Grand Island Fire Headquarters.

In today's Social Era, the previously perceived silos – Marketing and Sales – are converging. This is especially true in the hospitality industry. And, this convergence trend has been joined by Revenue Management which is effectively narrowing, if not deciding, rates to be quoted to individuals and group business. Further, Convention Service Managers (CSMs), who detail group business, are increasingly assuming traditional sales roles such as supplying the group business customer detailed customization input BEFORE the contract is signed.
Additionally, with the rise of third parties – prime examples: HelmsBriscoe (an independent hotel group sales force), Cvent (a type of Match.com gatekeeper connecting buyers and sellers) and Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) (such as Expedia and others), traditional marketing and sales is being turned upside. Thus, the roles and structure of classic hospitality marketers and hospitality salespeople needs to be updated and reexamined.
Marketing remains primarily a business positioning function and a sales lead generator. Sales remains primarily a lead closer, but as mentioned above, Revenue Management and CSMs are increasingly supporting the ability to close leads. Traditionally, sales people at a local venue actively pursued a marketing function, lead generator. But, Sales is finding it increasingly more difficult to generate leads as buyers block them from traditional cold-calling.
There is a trending convergence between marketing and sales. No longer are separate silos effective, efficient or profitable. And, other functions, as mentioned above, are converging their value-added contributions to marketing and sales. This convergence is affecting the entire hospitality industry: Lodging, CVBs, Event Companies, DMCs, Catering Companies, etc.

Surprise besties Jake Gyllenhaal and Jay-Z kicked back at the rapper's 40/40 Club in New York City Monday night, watching the NCAA championship basketball game in the Owner's Lounge.
The two, joined by Swizz Beatz and Timbaland, exchanged a big hug when they met up, then spent the evening snacking on the club's signature wings and sipping D'Usse cognac.
"No one was clearly rooting for one team over the other," a source tells PEOPLE, but "the group could be heard cheering excitingly throughout the entire game."
After Louisville beat Michigan, 82-76, the men called it a night, leaving the club one by one.

Is it possible at all for Canon to add the coating and not make it a Mk. II, so it would stay at the same price point, and eventually as stock moves, it would replace the older model without the coating since it's only a minor change? Or is that something that doesn't happen in the camera world?
I have this lens and the 2.8 and I find that I carry the f/4 IS more often when I can get away with it because it's so much lighter and compact. I can carry a full range without killing myself. Although a metal body would be more durable, it also would make it a bit heavier. I'd definitely not upgrade.
If you had carte blanche to upgrade this lens, what would you do? What specs would it have after your upgrades?
Quote from: distant.star on December 11, 2011, 12:18:14 PMIf you had carte blanche to upgrade this lens, what would you do? What specs would it have after your upgrades?Paint it black
70-200 F4 IS is the lens I've been considering (efs 2.8 version would be better though). I hope it is not becoming metal
It's already metal.
24mm f/1.4L II (yes, version II vignets too much!)
28mm f/1.8 (better performance at the large appertures)
50mm f/1.4 (better performance at the large appertures)
Actually, it's not. Most of the body is plastic. It does have some metal parts like the zoom ring, the mount, the front ring that has the markings. Most of the rest of the outer body is white plastic.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
May 3, 2012
Dr. Jeffrey L. Godwin, associate professor of management in Saint Vincent College's Alex G. McKenna School of Business, Economics, and Government, reports that he had two teams finish on the Global 100 list of the widely used Business Strategy Game (BSG) Simulation. At the height of the game this semester, 5,826 teams from 336 colleges and universities participated. In the BSG simulation, students manage a virtual footwear company. The simulation includes a series of decisions in the areas of production, distribution, marketing, human resource management, corporate citizenship and finance. The teams play ten decision rounds. Each set of decisions constitutes a year in the life of the virtual organizations. The two Saint Vincent teams this semester included Divergent Footwear comprised of Curt Colaianne, Andrew Harvey and David Kirchner, and Golden Lace comprised of Kaleb Cypher, Ryan Riazzi and Aaron Smetanka.

So the other post was obviously meant to offend people who send their special snowflakes to a "warehouse" school and let their brains be understimulated and not learn anything.
Obviously, teaching our kids doesn't stop at school. Kids gain a lot more than education at school as well. I don't want to bash ALL homeschoolers, as I'm sure not all of them FAIL at their job.
I just want to vent about an aquaintence of mine who homeschools and always acts like her family is better than mine because they always go to church, never waste a penny, and especially because they homeschool because public school is literally the devil.
My ( at the time) 4 yr old was playing with her 11 yr old in their driveway. My DS points out that some of the pavers were trapezoids. Her son boasts proudly " I don't watch t.v. so I wouldn't know!" They are always bragging that they don't watch t.v. or let their kids watch it because it is so horrible. Maybe if they did watch it, they would learn something.
She has come right out and said that she never taught her kids alphabetical order because SHE doesn't see the point in it. Ok, whatever lady.
I silently judge her when she posts on FB and uses the incorrect form of there,their, they're. Come on now. You're supposed to be teaching your kids grammar. She doesn't have a degree ( I don't either) ,which I know you don't have to in order to homeschool, but you really should have a full grasp on elementary grammar and English.
But hey, her 11 yr old can load a gun and tie a noose so I'm sure those skills will get him further ahead in life than a proper education.

This week a Siberian cold front hit Denmark chilling everyone to the bone! There was even a touch of snow just as the sun decided to show its face for the first time for days.
Have to admire the girls who continue to bike in skirts. Its takes more than a little cold to keep Copenhageners in doors and off their bikes.
And some maybe even seize the day and send a little love back to Siberia to warm that that icy and lonely place.
Myself? I'll be packing long under wear for the next days commute - Brrrrr!
Happy Cycling!

A Seminole County school bus driver is out of a job after making an unscheduled stop.
The driver was caught on camera picking up students and breakfast on the way to school.
Surveillance video shows Howard Moore parking his bus at a doughnut shop early one morning in October. He then leaves two teens on board alone, with the keys still in the ignition.
After four minutes, Moore returned to the bus with food and a soda.
"No, I didn't get a doughnut. I got a bagel," Moore is heard saying on the recording.
Moore had been suspended since the incident, but was officially fired Thursday.
