Some session bills deserved to die
April 22, 2013
Some of the bills that didn't pass at the 60-day regular legislative session, which ended more than a week ago, deserved to die....
Sure, what the heck, drive more businesses out of West Virginia. Soon nothing will be left. I, as well as most of my friends, had to leave the state in order to make a decent living. And it appears that trend will continue.
People need to realize there's no such thing as a corporate/business tax. Cos/businesses treat taxes as a cost, and these costs are simply passed along to us in the form of higher prices. So it is we consumers who are actually paying these taxes (through more expensive goods and services), that is if we're lucky enough to have a job and able to afford what they are selling.

The Chillblast Fusion Mamba is a full gaming PC that packs a hell of a punch with its Ivy Bridge/Kepler sensibilities.
That means Chillblast is bringing together two of the biggest hitters from the latest round of technological advancements, sticking an overclocked Intel Core i7 3770K and an Nvidia GTX 680 into the same chassis to fight it out for top billing.
This then is the premium rig of the Ivy Bridge-based machines we've been playing with this month, compared with the Intel Core i5 3570K-powered Palicomp Alpha Detonator, and as such there is barely a hint of compromise in the make up of the Fusion Mamba.
This is the top 3rd Gen Core CPU, with a stock running speed of 3.5GHz but with some simple overclocking and Corsair's brilliant CoolIT-powered H100 water block keeping things chilled at a not-too-shabby 4.7GHz.
To be fair that's not exactly unprecedented for the top Sandy Bridge processors either, or even the mid-range chips that we've had running happily at a frankly crazy top-speed of 5GHz with Mr. Laird's patented 'shonky cooler'.
Still, a 4.7GHz Core i7 3770K is still faster than a 4.7GHz Core i7 2700K.
If only just.
That said though, the OCUK Mosasaur MKII we looked at back in March had an Intel Core i7 2700K running only 100MHz shy of that clock speed at 4.6GHz.
That gave it a Cinebench R11 index score of 8.95, a pretty decent score, but the overclocked Core i7 3770K in the Fusion Mamba gives it a rating of 9.48.
When you think that the stock-clocked Intel Core i7 3930K, the £500-odd hexcore Sandy Bridge E beast gets a score of 10.22 that's some pretty impressive numbers.
Processor - Intel Core i7 3770K @ 4.7GHz
Motherboard - Asus P8Z77-V Pro
Graphics - Palit GTX 680
Memory - 16GB Corsair 1,600MHz DDR3
Operating system - Windows 7 Home Premium
In any of the CPU benchmarks you want to pass its way the overclocked Intel Core i7 3770K in the Fusion Mamba will chew up and spit back out.
The strictly quad-core Core i5 3570K is quite a way off the pace, in both Cinebench, and about 10fps behind in X264 HD.
In gaming terms though things are a lot closer, with the overclocked AMD Radeon HD 7970 in the Palicomp machine actually taking the lead in Heaven benchmark.
They switch position in the more Nvidia-favouring DiRT 3 and AMD-centric Shogun 2 benches, but the Batman: Arkham City benchmark is a little more platform agnostic.

The couple, who confirmed their engagement in January, celebrated their upcoming wedding at a party on Friday night.
After receiving black invitations reading "A & J," about 100 friends and family entered a large black tent with red velvet entryway welcoming them to 1920s event space Carondelet House in downtown Los Angeles.
The couple arrived around 8 p.m. accompanied by Heard's sister Whitney and Depp's 11-year-old son, Jack.
Other guests at the bash included Marilyn Manson, Jerry Bruckheimer, Steven Tyler, Ryan Adams and wife Mandy Moore, Rick Rubin, Heard's father David and Depp's mother Betty Sue.
Since then the pair have stepped out together on several public date nights, including the premiere of Heard's film 3 Days to Kill in February and the Texas Film Awards on March 6, where Heard was honored with the film group's Rising Star award.
Heard and Depp, 50, are keeping their wedding plans tightly under wraps, but at least one locale seems like it would make an ideal venue: Depp's private island, Little Hall's Pond Cay.

Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. student Chris Racine recently presented his research at the Society of Toxicology (SOT) General Meeting in San Antonio, Texas. The study Chris presented at this meeting was entitled "Role of renal cytochrome p450 isozymes in the bioactivation of 3,5-dichloroaniline in vitro." The long term goal of this project is "to determine the biotransformation of 3,5-dichloroaniline (3,5-DCA), mechanisms for bioactivation of 3,5-DCA to nephrotoxic species by the kidney, and if gender differences exist in the susceptibility of the kidney to the toxic effects of 3,5-DCA."
The SOT conference, which was held from March 10-14, is the largest toxicology meeting in the world and it brings together scientist in academia, government, and industry from various countries. Dr. Gary Rankin, Chris Racine's Ph.D. advisor said that, "It is important for students to experience the scientific exchange that happens at a national research conference. There is no substitute for attending such a meeting in person. The meeting also gives the advisor the opportunity to introduce the students to other top scientists and students in their field, and the feedback received at a national presentation can be very helpful for the student's research projects."
Congratulations, Chris!

NEW GLOBAL FRONTIERS IN REGULATION: THE AGE OF NANOTECHNOLOGY, Graeme Hodge, Diana Bowman, Karinne Ludlow, eds., Elgar, 2007
In this Chapter, we set out the pivotal questions relating to the United States approach to nanotechnology and other emerging technologies. We note how the experiences of biotechnology regulation are likely to continue to inform United States approaches. After setting out these principles, we discuss three regulatory experiences and approaches that we believe do and will inform United States regulatory policy going forward. We examine the Coordinated Framework for the regulation of biotechnology and, in so doing, look at the actions of three separate agencies: (1) EPA; (2) FDA; and (3) NIOSH. We conclude with a high-level discussion of the various issues that remain unresolved in the United States approach.

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.

The incident where Charleston's fire boat hit a harbor buoy while racing to an accident scene was "a classic case of human error," officials agreed in an analysis of the April 13 collision released Friday.
Minimal crew experience, unsafe speed, no lookout, fatigue and lack of proficiency with equipment were all cited by the Coast Guard as part of its review of the department's response that night.
In a letter to Fire Chief Karen Brack, Deputy Chief John Tippett said he agreed with the Coast Guard's findings.
"The casual factors confirm that the allision (nautical strike) was a classic case of human error," he wrote.
Tippet went on to say that since this was a "classic case," there is ample documentation to support the collision between the fireboat Louis Behrens and harbor Buoy 25 "was the end result of a long chain of events, not just the actions of a single individual that evening."
During a press conference Friday, Brack said some corrective measures have already been taken, including in terms of training, with more to come. She called the response by the boat's four-member crew that night "a lapse of situational awareness."
The accident occurred after a 34-foot Navy patrol boat on a training mission from Jacksonville, Fla., ran aground in the dark on the south harbor jetty. It later sank. Six people were injured.
The Charleston boat's hull suffered a gash while the crew was racing to the scene, but the boat made it back to its docking station.
A preliminary damage estimate put the repair costs on the $850,000 boat at about $53,000. It is currently at Pierside Boatworks in North Charleston. Insurance will cover the fixes, Brack said.
Because the 39-foot boat was built in Canada, the replacement panels will have to come from Canada, meaning it will be many more weeks before the vessel can go back into service.
Brack said her investigation into the crew's actions that night is still underway and that it will be later before she determines what corrective or disciplinary action is warranted for the captain and crew.
Earlier descriptions of the accident scene that night indicate a crew member noticed the boat was close to the buoys, but said nothing. It was also the first time the skipper had taken the vessel out at night. The crew had come from a Savannah Highway fire station to respond.
Other findings in the report said one of the navigational displays failed and had to be rebooted by the first mate while underway, and that the crew had limited experience working with one another. The department's Marine Team has 42 fire-fighters.
Earlier this week the Navy announced it had relieved an executive officer of his duties as a result of the jetty strike, and after another Navy boat was hung up the next night while guarding the site.
Officials cited a loss of confidence and substandard performance involving a significant event as the reasoning behind Capt. Adrian Garcia's dismissal.

Prized pitching prospects Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon have put up good enough statistics so far at high-A Bradenton to warrant a promotion to the Curve, but the Pirates will not be basing any such decision on numbers alone for either pitcher.
So for now, both remain in A-ball, and the Bucs are not giving any timetable for when they will be called up to Altoona.
"While results play a role, they are not a deciding factor in our decision to promote a prospect or not," Pirates farm director Larry Broadway said. "More importantly, we ask ourselves: Has the player accomplished what he needs to accomplish at the current level, and is he equipped to handle the challenges of the next level both on the field and off the field? Age really doesn't play a huge factor in the decision."
Cole, the No. 1 overall pick in last year's draft, and Taillon, the No. 2 overall pick in 2010, have remarkably similar statistics for Bradenton (see comparison box), although they've taken a different path to their current numbers.
Taillon got off to a terrific start, giving up only six runs in his first seven games. But he got pounded in his eighth start against St. Lucie, allowing six runs and two homers in 5 2/3 innings May 16. He allowed two earned runs on only three hits in six innings his last time out Tuesday.
Cole struggled a bit more at the outset, allowing 13 runs - nine earned - in the first four starts of his pro career. He has been superb of late, however, allowing only four runs and 16 hits in his last five starts.
Fact Box
Young guns
How Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon have performed in their nine starts apiece at high-A Bradenton:
"Gerrit is always trying to get better regardless of the level of success that he has from one outing to the next," said Broadway, who noted the pitcher primarily "is working on fastball command and pitch sequencing, both of which are getting better every outing."
This is Cole's first pro season, but the 21-year-old is an advanced pitcher because of his extensive college experience at UCLA.
Cole's college teammate, Trevor Bauer, was the No. 3 pick in last year's draft, and he's already in Triple-A with the Diamondbacks. Unlike Cole, Bauer signed quickly and made his pro debut last season, and he went 7-1 with a 1.68 ERA in Double-A to start this season.
Despite Bauer's rapid rise, the Pirates aren't going to be rushed into promoting Cole.
"Most important for Gerrit is for him to focus on each day and getting better each day and staying in the present," Broadway said. "He is building a solid foundation where he is at right now, and we'll discuss any promotions when the time is right."
Taillon was drafted out of high school, but while he may not have been as polished as Cole at the outset of his career, he has a full season under his belt. He was 2-3 with a 3.98 ERA in 23 starts for low-A West Virginia last year.
"He, like Cole is continuing to work on fastball command and sequencing," Broadway said.
"Both players have well-documented raw tools and tremendous physical ability. The challenge and process for us and them is to compete and use those tools as efficiently and effectively in the context of a team environment in preparation for long-term success in Pittsburgh."

In a rare interview, Stephen Hawking said to the BBC that humans must move to another solar system in order to ensure the survival of the species. "Once we spread out into space and establish colonies, our future should be safe," he said. Hawking made a similar suggestion back in June.
He believes that life on Earth could be wiped out by a nuclear disaster or a massive asteroid hitting the planet causing Armageddon with its Deep Impact. He said that, since we have no similar planets on our solar system, we would "have to go to another star" to find a suitable habitat.
Before humans could even dream of such a move, we would need to develop a viable means of transportation. Hawking proposed "matter/anti-matter annihilation" propulsion. He explained: "When matter and anti-matter meet up, they disappear in a burst of radiation. If this was beamed out of the back of a spaceship, it could drive it forward … It would take a lot of energy to accelerate to near the speed of light."
Even at near-light speeds, it would take six years to reach a new star. While Hawking, 64, may not see our escape from Earth in his lifetime, he still wishes to see the planet from space. "My next goal is to go into space; maybe Richard Branson will help me."
Hawking was recently awarded the Royal Society's Copley medal, their highest honor, for his work in theoretical physics and cosmology leading to classifications and further knowledge of black holes.
Lord Rees, president of the Royal Society, stated "Stephen Hawking has contributed as much as anyone since Einstein to our understanding of gravity. This medal is a fitting recognition of an astonishing research career spanning more than 40 years."
In a statement issued by Hawking after learning of the award he said "This is a very distinguished medal, it was awarded to Darwin, Einstein and (Francis) Crick. I am honored to be in their company."
quote: If we have antimatter, we'll use it in bombs, and wipe out the human race, way before we have interstellar travel.

In his pitch-perfect address at Sunday's prayer vigil in Newton, Conn., President Obama performed the two urgent duties that Friday's tragedy demanded: He consoled the families of the victims, the rest of the shocked and suffering town and, indeed, the entire nation; and he declared, flatly, that after too many massacres of innocent people, something has to change. In fact, what he said was "we" have to change.
And we do. As Obama said, "What choice do we have? We can't accept events like this as routine." Only a sick and helpless society would, and we are neither of those.
We have to take steps appropriate to the ongoing carnage across the country, not just in Newtown, but in Aurora, Colo.; Tucson, Ariz.; Oak Creek, Wis.; Blacksburg, Va.; Littletown, Colo., and all the other American places where armed people – always men – commit mass murder. If this massacre of 20 innocent school children and six brave adults isn't enough to shake the nation out of its complacency, then what is? Do we simply wait for the next mass murder, as there assuredly will be?
This problem is not exclusively about access to weapons that are designed to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible – mental health and treatment for it are also wrapped up in these crimes. But access to assault weapons is plainly a critical issue. What today is the compelling counter-argument to controlling them?
That it won't work all the time? Neither do laws against murder, but we don't make that an excuse to drop such laws. It's not the Second Amendment, since it allows appropriate controls over other weapons. And, in any case, all of our constitutional rights have their limits.
Absolutists will make that argument, anyway. It's a too-familiar refrain when the country faces difficult choices. Confronted with millions of Americans lacking health care, or with the facts of climate change, the do-nothing crowd takes up the chant that, at its root, says, "You can't do anything about that." They say that we actually are helpless.
Some of that has already begun. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a man who wanted to be president, insisted that this is a "heart issue" and that "laws don't change this kind of thing."
Even more predictably, Huckabee linked the shooting to his contention that "we've systematically removed God from our schools." He asked: "Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage?"
But God hadn't been removed from the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, Wis., where a gunman killed five people and wounded four before taking his own life in August. God hasn't been systematically removed from movie theaters, either, but that didn't stop a gunman from entering one in Aurora, Colo., and murdering 12 people who came to see "The Dark Knight Rises." God, presumably, hasn't been driven out of the Bible Belt, which has seen its share of these tragedies.
It was a foolish comment, both wrong and unhelpful in the aftermath of an unspeakable crime. Atrocities like these demand serious comment from serious people, not boilerplate from former politicians who want nothing more than to advance a do-nothing political agenda.
The question is whether it is possible to craft tough legislation that respects the Second Amendment and doesn't needlessly impinge on the legitimate rights of hunters and others to keep weapons. The question answers itself. No sportsman needs assault weapons. People may want assault weapons for all sorts of reasons, but in light of the bloodshed in Newtown and a dozen other places, it becomes necessary to draw a line.
We draw those lines regularly in this country. The right to free speech famously excludes the right to shout "Fire!" in a crowded theater. Freedom of the press is limited by libel laws and by laws protecting some young criminal suspects. The First Amendment offers no protection to those who traffic in child pornography.
But because of the American fascination with firearms and a powerful and amoral gun lobby, we are told such common-sense limits can't apply to the weapons industry. That's a lie, but that hasn't stopped many people from believing it.
There come tipping points in history when even the doubters are forced to acknowledge hard realities. For climate change, it may have been Hurricane Sandy that finally convinced the resisters that we have to act. For too-easy access to guns, it may be what happened Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Let us hope it is, because if this kind of carnage doesn't cause us to rethink our assumptions, then the bloodshed has hardly begun.

Thank you SO much for the info about the heat gun. I also do cookies with corn syrup icing and have had a horrible time with craters, but just assummed it was "operator error". I'm going to give this a try...after Christmas...;). Thanks for your willingness to share what you do with all of us. Your cookies are beautiful!

OMG Pam Ill bet you had fun. I know you love those quilting patterns and rightfully so. You did a fabulousjob as usual. I hada quick question and it may be hard to answer because you may have done thisaheadof time or had it on hand. So I looked at all 30 cookies. you used 2 shades of red2 of green also white. So if say I wanted to make 30 cookies with all those colors you used. How many batches of frosting is that?? or how many recipes of frosting for that many colors broken up after making the naked icing. I hope Iam making sense here. LOL!!!!! Im not making these cookies cause Im not wuirte near as good as you are . Not closeyet. but Im am just trying to get a general idea of quantities when amking batches of icing if you have to break up into say 5 colors of any pallete. I hope you havea joyous Christmas and thank you for all the wonderful gifts you give us each week a place to come to and learn and grow our passion. You are too kind. Best,Stacey M.

How do you get such a glossy look on your icing?? When my icing dries it has more of a matte finish,\.
- December 20, 2011 at 4:48 PM
- cookiecrazielady said...
Stacey.......I actually did 150 of these cookies. I'm sure it was just one batch of icing (2 lb powdered sugar).
- December 21, 2011 at 7:44 AM
- cookiecrazielady said...
Hi Debbie. I usually take my photos when the icing is still wet.....so that's why there is extra shine. But the heat gun adds a little shine to the dried icing too. Merry Christmas to you!
- December 21, 2011 at 7:45 AM
- Anne said...
Thank for you for the posts about using a heat gun. I love mine but I did have an icing color "splotching" problem with some cookies recently and couldn't figure out why some were and some weren't. My guess was the buttery goodness from the cookies seeped through the icing. But after reading your first post, I'm sure I was a little overzealous with the gun! Thanks for all you do, Merry Christmas and happy birthday to you!
- December 21, 2011 at 7:58 AM
- Stacey said...
Pam oh my they look like perfectly wrapped presents. Wow one batch of icing. Cook. Thanks for lettting me know, Trying to gauge things for the cookies iam making. But wow you made all these cookies. Where on earth do you find the timeto do all this?? I am freaking out because of my new site for the the beginning of the new year. I see how gorgeous you and the otherladies make your blogs amd how much you post and decorate. You have 5 kids I have one. I do not know if it is because he is 10 and requires more of my time but I am freaking thatI just wont be able to keep up. He is yr round school. Which means every 9 weeks he gets out for about 3-4 weeks with no schooling. we chose that for him and we love it. it is his last year. But I cant even use that as an excuse because you homeschooled 5 kids decorated cookies and worked. So Im just doing alot of praying and thinking no sleep fora while maybe. maybe I need to treat this likea newborn fora while till it gets going. And then do scheduled posts. You amaze me in all that you do. When I grow up I want to be just like you. LOL!!!! Best to you and yours. havea safeand happy holiday with your family an hope the new year brings you nothing but happiness.Stacey M.

Hey....I'm not wonder woman by any means....so don't think more of me than I am. Yes, I homeschooled my kids.....but I'm done with that now. And I didn't do cookies and a blog like now when I was still homeschooling. Now I have lots of free time since my kids are all grown, in college, etc......so life is MUCH different for me now than even two years ago. And as far as working goes.....I work VERY part time. I only work on Saturdays. So there you go, I have a totally different life than you. So don't put so much pressure on yourself. Have a blessed Christmas and savor this time of your life. It won't ever be like this again.....

Hi, your cookie designs are awesome! Just curious, how did u package the square cookies individually? Like the ones inside the box in the pic u posted above. I always have trouble packing my cookies bcoz of their different sizes...thanks!

Thanks so much for your kindness. I package my cookies using cello bags and heat seal them with a flat iron. It works awesome! :)

I love that quilt of cookies Pam! It has your signature all over it! I bet you were grinning from ear to ear singing away while you decorated these!! I love the gingerbread men also! Even with wrinkles they are cute!! Thanks for adding them to the link party!!

- Luv2crft36 said...
Love your tips and ideas. You said you use cello bags and a flat iron to package your cookies. What do you mean by flat iron? My first thought was the one you use for hair.
- June 9, 2012 at 5:04 PM
- CookieCrazie Pam said...
You're first thought was right. Yes, I mean the hair kind. Buy one specifically set aside for sealing cookie bags. It works wonderfully! :)
- June 10, 2012 at 6:22 PM
- DZShort said...
Where do you get your cello bags and do you package all your cookies every order individually? I am wondering because I typically use RI and it is hard so all my cookies stack easily. Is it not the same with glaze? I did try glaze today. Tasted just as great as my RI (I don't use meringue which tastes horrible). It was sticky and definitely different to work with but I loved the shine. Harder to work with on the air bubbles though.
- January 20, 2013 at 10:13 PM
- cookiecrazielady said...
I buy my cello bags from Hobby Lobby.
For the most part, I package each cookie individually. My cookies dry hard enough to package them......it just takes longer than RI.
Yeah for trying glaze!
For air bubbles.......are you mixing it only on the low setting? I had problems with bubbles when I mixed the glaze to fast.
Happy baking. :)
- January 21, 2013 at 5:31 AM

Not the very lowest, I will try that. Thanks again!

Hi Pam I've been following you here and on instagram.ready love you cookies!I use your glaze recipe :-) thank you for sharing all this with us

- cookiecrazielady said...
What a nice note to come home to. Thank you so much for your sweet words. I'm thrilled to have this blog and inspire others to enjoy decorating cookies. :) ♥

Hi Pam, Do you still use the heat gun to dry your cookies? Do you find that it dries out the cookie? Do you still use the fan even though you use the heat gun? Thanks. Kathy

Community moderator program updates and new team members
Opensource.com welcomes new moderators and updates program
Last year, we announced the Opensource.com Community Moderator program. It's been a huge success. We've learned a lot from our moderators and have recently made updates as we continually improve the program.
The purpose of the Community Moderator program is to identify key Opensource.com contributors and advocates and to provide them with guidelines and a framework for how they can best participate, including advising our team on future decisions regarding the site and community.
We launched the program in February 2013 with four moderators: Nicole Engard, Carolyn Fox, Luis Ibanez, and Phil Shapiro. Then, in September we invited all of the moderators to Raleigh, NC for a collaborative strategy session. This year we're hoping to invite them back, in addition to our newest moderators, to Raleigh in October in conjunction with the All Things Open conference.
Our community moderators have become critical to the success of the Opensource.com community. If you haven't yet read article by them, check out some of their contributions.
Welcome new moderators
We continue to identify top contributors in our community and have doubled the number of moderators in our program over the last few months. It's my pleasure to officially welcome four new moderators:
- Robin Muilwijk joined the team in August of 2013 and has been an open source entrepreneur for more than ten years. He's helping us stay updated on open source activities in Europe and is often found commenting on the site and sharing on social media.
- Aseem Sharma joined our team in November 2013 and has recently graduated from Conrad Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology Centre, Faculty of Engineering at University of Waterloo, Canada.
- Marcus D. Hanwell joined our team in December 2013 and is a Technical Leader in the Scientific Computing group at Kitware, Inc. He leads the Open Chemistry project, developing open source tools for chemistry, bioinformatics, and materials science research.
- Remy Decausemaker joined our team in December 2013 and is an Assistant Director of the Rochester Institute of Technology Lab for Technological Literacy and serves as Campaign Architect of FOSS@MAGIC. Inside and outside of the classroom, he helps mentor and guide the students of RIT's Humanitarian Free/Opensource Software Development course.
Program updates
We also gathered feedback about the first iteration of the program and made a few revisions to how it works. First, we created different specializations as we wanted to provide contributors with than efficient way to bring their various skills to the table. Moderators can now choose from content creation, content curation, and community nurturing. We will continue to identify new roles as the program evolves.
Our communitiy moderators are also enjoying a few new perks including an Opensource.com email alias, priority editing from the Opensource.com editing team, an invitation to attend the All Things Open conference, and a LinkedIn recommendation upon fulfillment of their commitment.
If you are interested in becoming a monthly contributor or would like to be considered for the role of Community Moderator, contact the Opensource.com team.
5 Comments
Let me echo what Jason Hibbets said and add my personal note of thanks to the moderator team for everything they do. Opensource.com is a better place because of each of you!
Opensource.com and Red Hat Inc. are the pioneers in the software world and in spearheading the open source culture globally. The opportunity to attend the AllThingsOpen conference and network with the open source think tank is amazing. Personally, the community moderator program has added a lot to my growth and it is very satisfying to work with the team at Opensource.com.
It is great to be a part of the team, and I appreciate all of the work the Opensource.com team does behind the scenes to make this such a strong and vibrant community. I will be doing what I can to bring the intersection of open science, open data, and open source to this community. Looking forward to a great 2014!
I have enjoyed Opensource.com immensely and find the media covers many areas of Open Source, particularly in Education and government more completely and insightfully than any other.
My one recommendation for "new" and seasoned moderators on Opensource.com - is that they regularly remind commenters to not stray from article focus and content and to stay on topic.
While this task maybe unnecessary for this website, as I have not seen - to date - any real deviation from subject matter in comments, the problem of crass off-topic comments and rants have become common place and distasteful on several of the more popular technology forums and blogs.
Moreso, it is advised for moderators to be ever diligent in noticing any commentary that is slyly skewed to promote Microsoft particularly, and other proprietary software products and services as "supposedly" Open Source solutions or models, or claim superiority of these proprietary products over Open Source without offering any credible supporting data.
Thank you for your hard work team! Keep inspiring people and keep changing lives.

Being seen critical to 'Dogs trip
Martinsburg to face Ohio power during two-day trip to Buckeye State
January 25, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Make no mistake, Dave Rogers was not getting up early this morning, rounding up his team at the high school and busing the five-plus hours to Canton, Ohio, to lose....
Won't score high enough? Big assumption about kids you don't know. But hey, you are an American...keep living your life controlled by perception and assumption.

Rodgers won't get the schools out to look at the boys. These boys have been seen while they played with the travel clubs and got their names out there. I bet most of these boys won't score high enough on their SAT ot ACT entrance exams to play for a D1 team!

Until he actually commits, still nothing but offers... And trust me, I pray and hope he makes it, along with any other panhandle player cause a free education and the chance to play professional in any sport is hard to come by, I was just making a point to "some" folks that Chruch does look out for players in his bball program and others- example Matheny to HCC about 3 years ago, Chruch made that call, not Rogers and Matheny played 4 years under Rogers..

The last d1 player to have played for rogers would be Buddha. Since he has about 12 d1 offers. Which include looks from the like of Villnova,wvu,Rutgers,Minnesota, Georgetown, George Washington and others. .....just saying

Wins are meaningful to what in real life??? Can't eat off wins, can't live off wins, can't make money off wins... Since Church hasn't had anything to do with colleges recruiting his players, read earlier Journal articles about Sheilds going to Longwood and Peterson going to VMI on FULL basketball scholarships... Then name me the last Bulldog to go D1 and play basketball ( sorry, that's the disgruntled 6'10 car salesman ) or ANY college bball players that have played for Rogers in the last 10 years, Thorton will tell you Rogers and black and orange only helped him realized he needed to distance himself from the program.. Nuff said
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Do your research and stay away from perception. Kevin is just ungrateful and bitter to MHS because he wasn't given an assistant's job when his pro career never took off.
Church has nothing to do with classroom success, so though he may have a lot of kids go on to college....I doubt he has had more bball scholarship players than MHS has had in 25 years.
I'll tell you what you can do though...you can count on 1 hand how many times HHS has beaten MHS in the past 25 years
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Lol, you Bulldog Faithful are so blind, please go to Miller Dodge and ask the 6'10 salesman who was the most recruited D1 basketball player in Bulldog history how much ANYONE in the Blk&Orange helped him get recruited??? Then ask how many bulldog basketball players have graduated with a high school diploma and gone on to college.. Period... Kelly has gotten more of his bball players in college than Rogers has EVEzr in the 25+ years of being a coach... Hence the word student-athlete..

Hugh When it comes to Kelly and Ruest they could care less about their boys. It is all about them and feeding their egos. Even if it is only against single A schools. If the Hedgesville coaching staff cared about their teams futures they would play some competitive teams and get them some exposure. But nope it is all about Church and Ruest.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
In related news, the Hedgesville Eagles took on 1st year school John Champe High earlier this week followed by a tough matchup with East Coast powerhouse (sarcasm) Shenandoah Valley Academy (yawn)
Come on Kelly, get your kids some exposure! You have a good player in Shields and a couple other kids that could maybe catch on with a lower division college. You're not "little HHS" anymore, step it up if you want to take your program and it's players to the next level

Does Kant Have a Theory of Punishment
Jeffrie G. Murphy
Arizona State University College of Law
Columbia Law Review, Vol. 87, p. 509, 1987
No doubt almost everyone would agree, although for different reasons, that any acceptable theory of punishment must make an important place for the values of justice, personal desert, respect for persons, and individual responsibility-it must, in short, make an important place for retributive values. This article pursues in some detail the grounds for the author's current uneasiness with Kant's writings on crime and punishment. Hopefully, these grounds will raise issues of general interest that will be worthy of discussion and consideration which might possibly lead to the (at least partial) salvation of Kant's theory. If one selects carefully among the many remarks and insights that Kant has left us about crime and punishment, one might even be able to build an edifice from the bricks provided, but Kant himself most likely did not succeed in building such an edifice himself.

Record-high Tahoe temperatures possible next week
Ryan Summerlin June 27, 2013
Temperatures throughout the greater Truckee/North Tahoe region are expected to soar heading into next week.
Record highs are possible, according to the National Weather Service in Reno, which forecasts a high of 89 on Friday in Truckee, and highs of 90, 92 and 93 on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, respectively.
For Tahoe City, high temperatures for Friday-Monday are expected in the mid- to upper-80s. Sunny skies and minimal cloud coverage also are in the forecast.
"Temperatures will be uncomfortably warm in the Sierra … the risk of heat-related illness will increase from Friday through Wednesday," NWS reports. "Children, the elderly and people with chronic ailments are the most susceptible…"
Down the hill, the sweltering weather is expected to bring highs of up to 105 degrees in Reno and 108 in Sacramento by Monday and Tuesday.

First of all anyone to use this phrase is simply worthless. The average teenage AIM user is so lazy they don't have the time to type "haha" in reference to something funny. But now they resort to more desperate measures to be ridiculous they add a "z" to an already terrible phrase. I am assuming it refers to something like LAUGHING OUT LOUD, ZORO, or, LAUGHING OUT LOUD ZEBRA. Which simply translates into I am worthless and should not be alive, and the least I can do for the world is leave.

av lol(z) optional z 8. februar 2004
This word was actually started by myself, and not SPH. It dates back to the days when the biggest ISPs were AOL, Prodigy and Excite. I used to type LoL with two upper-case Ls. In the process of capitalizing the Ls, I would use the left shift key, since the 'L' key is on the right side of the keyboard. Unfortunately I had issues with hitting the 'z' key in conjunction with the shift key, or not hitting the shift key at all, so often it came out as lolz or lzolz. It had nothing to do with a plural form of lol or for that matter laughing-out-loud zealously. If you want proof, go look up my nickname in a search engine, and see how far back my lolz references date back. AOL keeps logs of all publically help interviews with celebs, you will see an early use of lolz by myself in a few of them, one which dates back to 1995 (although I was using it before that time). The majority of the kids on this site weren't even out of diapers in 1995. I however am the biggest computer geek in a tri-state area, and I was 16 in 1995.

5 Terrible Scenes That Almost Ruin Awesome Movies
Usually you find bad scenes right where they belong: in the middle of bad movies. But sometimes these terrible scenes surface in films that are otherwise good, like a dead spider bobbing up onto the surface of the milkshake you're drinking. If you leave the movie theater to go pee just before one of these lone bad scenes is playing, you'll find yourself disagreeing with your friends afterward about how good the film was. You're thinking it was great, while all your friends are saying, "But what about that one scene where the hero just starts randomly shooting blue jays?"
For example, there's ...
#5. Let the Right One In -- Vampire vs. a Lot of Cats
The 2008 Swedish vampire movie Let the Right One In deals with many serious issues, like self-sacrificing love, bullying, and being Swedish. Partway through the film, a woman is attacked by the main character, the child vampire Eli, and soon starts turning into a vampire herself. The vampire-to-be heads to a neighbor's house, possibly planning to attack him and use him as a human kebab. But the man who lives there is the male version of a cat lady, and ... well, this happens.
In case you can't watch that video, the lady vampire is attacked by the man's cat collection. Cats fly at her from all directions and drive her away from her intended victim, or more accurately, the actress is pelted with unmoving cat puppets like she's in some PETA-unapproved version of dodgeball, and said kitty-puppets then pretend to bite her in an orgy of unintended puppet-hilarity.
Why It Ruins Everything:
When I first saw this scene and experienced the audience around me guffawing in hearty laughter, I thought it was because the cat-puppet effects were so bad. Because let's face it: It's a Swedish horror movie, they weren't working with a Michael Bay budget here. But now I think that there's more to the awfulness of this scene than just the "bad puppet" aspect. Even if the filmmakers had spent $56 million and produced a photorealistic cats-attacking-vampire masterpiece, the scene still would have been ridiculous, because cats on screen just can't be that horrifying.
Look at this guy's adorable little head!
"Cat yowls off screen after a character throws something" is a comedy staple for a reason, and that reason is not that animals in pain are hilarious. Cats just have a tendency to be inherently funny. I think it's the gulf between their dignity and their real-life helplessness. A small dog falling off a chair is not funny. A cat falling off a chair is funny, because a cat will fall off that chair with an air of quiet, self-assured dignity, and then look at you afterward like it meant to do that.
Whatever the reason behind kitty-hilarity, audiences are primed to find anything cat-related funny. So while the book that Let the Right One In is based on can pull off the cat-attack scene and actually make it rather touching and poignant, you just can't do that with cats on the screen. Add in some terrible puppet effects, and the result is an audience that's still giggling half an hour later at the adorable little critter chewing on a vampire's leg.
#4. The Book of Eli -- Meh, the Book Isn't That Important
The Book of Eli also happens to be about someone named Eli, although unfortunately he's not a vampire. Instead, he's a guy who travels around post-apocalyptic California protecting a rare book that (spoiler!) turns out to be the last surviving copy of the Bible, written in Braille. After a long journey in which Eli kicks copious ass in order to keep the Bible out of the hands of a Gary Oldman who wants to use it for evil, Eli eventually travels to an island where some shreds of civilization have survived. There, Eli recites the whole Bible from memory so the civilized survivors can transcribe it. Yup, even the boring bits.
"From Ephraim, Elishama, son of Ammihud. From Manasseh, Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur ... wait,
are you just doodling pictures of seahorses?"
That's fine so far, but then comes the ending, which ruins everything. Ending-ruinings are the worst, because you've just spent two hours of your life preparing for a movie to be good, only to see that hope shatter in front of you like a balloon full of cockroaches. It's like watching a gymnast bounce her way through a perfect routine, only to let out a huge, roaring fart in the middle of her last jump. In this particular movie, the ending-fart is this:
The people Eli fought, killed, and eventually died for just so that he could bring them that one copy of the Bible? They print it out, bind it, and stick it on a shelf next to a bunch of other books.
Why It Ruins Everything:
Now, the problem here isn't about one's thoughts on the Bible (or any religious book). Whether you believe that the Bible is the perfect life instruction manual or just a handy heavy thing for squashing centipedes, we're dealing with the book's importance in the context of the movie. And in this movie, viewers have invested two hours of their time and their emotions into Eli's struggle to get his book to a receptive audience. Viewers are then forced to watch the fruit of that struggle dumped in a sad, abandoned-looking library while the "receptive audience" heads back out to play foosball or something. Eli's actions would have had about as much effect if he'd just stayed home and recited the Bible to his pets.
It's kind of like Eli had been carrying the world's last packet of ketchup, fighting off people who wanted to put it on their inferior, soggy french fries. And then he finally reached humanity's last surviving french-fry connoisseurs and dropped the dusty ketchup packet at their feet, only for them to toss it in the back of a fridge somewhere because mayonnaise on fries is way better anyway.
#3. Dear John -- Cancer Is Pretty Awesome
OK, maybe Dear John doesn't qualify as a particularly great movie, but Nicholas Sparks wrote the book it's based on and he's a millionaire, so obviously many, many people enjoy watching his tales of white people with troubled pasts taking a really long time to decide whether they truly love each other.
"Will she still love me when she finds out about my jaw-implant surgery?"
In Dear John, the troubled white couple is John and Savannah. Their years-long quest to decide whether they truly love each other is complicated by their friend Tim, and Savannah eventually dumps John to marry Tim. Troubled white couples need regular infusions of trouble to keep things interesting, though, so Tim quickly comes down with the cancer. John decides to sell the super-valuable coin collection he inherited and buy treatment for his romantic rival. Tim lives, and John walks away with that sweet fuzzy sense of self-satisfaction to keep him warm at night and have sex with him.
Wait, no. That's what happens in the book version. Studio execs decided at the last minute that they didn't like Channing Tatum not ending up with the girl, so a new ending was hurriedly shot explaining that John's hot money injection only allowed Tim to live for an extra two months, after which John and Savannah got back together.
Why It Ruins Everything:
Look, obviously an extra two months of life is far from worthless. You can clean out an entire garage in two months, and we all want to do that before we pass on from this world. But keep in mind that Dear John's whole plot was set up and shot in preparation for the original uplifting ending about John's meaningful sacrifice. So when they attached the new ending, the studio was forced to shove in a voice-over that implied that Tim dying young of cancer was just as equally happy and awesome for all involved:
Uplifting music! Orgasmically satisfied voice-over! Wistfully happy gaze! Some Big Pharma exec got a new ruby-studded yacht out of John's one valuable possession and Tim died anyway, but we should still weep with happiness, because after all, the two more conventionally attractive people in the love triangle ended up together.

LOCKPORT – Probation on a 2007 drug possession charge was going well for Nicholas J. Koch of Lockport – until he lost his job last year.
Koch, 25, of Passaic Avenue, Lockport, started drinking and stopped going to probation, Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas said Thursday. That led to a probation violation and the one-year County Jail sentence Farkas imposed Thursday.
"Obviously, the [drug] treatment didn't stick," the judge said.

Philip Philips will take the stage at 7 p.m. on May 14 at Harper-McNeely Auditorium to benefit the Elkins-Randolph County YMCA.
Phillips recently released his single "Home," which has garnered the attention of many fans. More than 278,000 downloads have been sold, according to Phillips' website. The site said "Home" marked the highest debut ever on the Billboard Digital songs chart, and a YMCA press release said the single has reached quadruple platinum status.
The song was used as the soundtrack for the 2012 U.S. Olympics Women's Gymnastics team and as the unofficial theme for Hurricane Sandy relief, according to the release.
The benefit concert is sponsored by Elkins Fordland, Allegheny Insurance and Yuengling Brewing. YMCA officials plan to use the proceeds for improving the Y's sprinkler system, fire alarms and swimming pool renovations.
Scott Goddard, vice president for student affairs at D&E College, said he truly values the "town and gown relationship" i.e. the bond between the college and the Elkins community.
"The show with Phillip Phillips is a reflection of this relationship," Goddard said. "It is truly a pleasure to be working with the YMCA to bring this special event to the area. Over the years, Elkins has had the opportunity to see a number of 'American Idol' contestants/winners on campus."
Goddard urged fans in the area not to miss the chance to see Phillips.
Tickets for the event can be purchased at the YMCA, Elkins Fordland or online at www.dne.musictoday.com.

Mattress Cleaning and Its Value
In the recent times, the importance of mattress cleaning has been clearly understood by most people. However, some are still of the opinion that mattresses do not require any professional cleaning. Cleaning mattresses with a duster or a vacuum cleaner is sufficient for them and more importantly they believe that as they don't come in direct contact with the mattress (because of the bedsheet) it is not required. But the research presents a somewhat different truth. Many researched have been conducted to find out just how hygienic, healthy, and safe a mattress in a normal household is. It has been found that all kinds of mattresses have the potential to lead to serious diseases if they are not cleaned on regular intervals by professional tools and solutions.
Read on to know more.
Why Mattresses Should Be Professionally Cleaned
Mattresses need professionally cleaning because:
- Mattresses become an abode for all sorts of bacteria, germs, and allergens.
- Dust is accumulated in the mattresses deep within the fabrics where homely cleaning methods are unable to reach.
- Spillages and stains further add to the unhygienic condition of the mattress.
- Sneezing, coughing, allergies, and asthma are some common problems associated with unclean mattresses.
- Dirty mattresses will need replacement sooner than the cleaner ones. This leads to monetary loss.
- Unclean mattresses ruin the breathing air around them by infecting it with foreign particles.
- Timely stain removal can spare the mattress. On the other hand, if the stains are not treated on time they can become permanent.
You daily add to the dirt and contaminants in your mattresses (human sweat and human hair are part of it). So it is wise to get your mattresses cleaned once in a year to keep it clean, healthy, hygienic, and safe for your loved ones. Call Squeaky Clean Mattress for an affordable, reliable, and quality mattress cleaning service in Melbourne.

We read with interest the article by Guenther et al1 in which the authors examined the necessity of continuing with axillary lymph node dissection in patients with positive sentinel node breast cancer. The authors observed 46 women with breast cancer with positive sentinel nodes who either were given a recommendation to omit axillary lymph node dissection or refused axillary lymph node dissection despite recommendations to the contrary. In this specific group, no axillary recurrences were noted in a 32-month follow-up. However, we noted with concern that none of the patients except 1 were offered axillary field radiation despite their node-positive status.

An Amherst motorist whose vehicle slid into a tree late Saturday night was charged with driving while intoxicated, Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard reported today.
Deputies Matthew Fuqua and Jonathan Hanna were dispatched to Stahley Road in Clarence at about 11:40 p.m., on a report of a vehicle that slid into a tree. They found its driver, Heather Lewandowski, 22, was intoxicated and took her into custody, the sheriff said.
A breath test administered at the Elma substation revealed Lewandowski had a blood-alcohol content of .19 – more than twice the legal limit, Howard said.
Lewandowski was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated. She was released to a third party, pending a future appearance in Clarence Town Court.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
MicroRNAs—as an entirely new class of gene-expression regulators (discovered in humans in 2001)—have elicited widespread interest. These noncoding, single-stranded, 20 to 25 nucleotide RNAs regulate gene expression through sequence-specific mRNA hybridization (usually at the 3´ untranslated region) and have been shown either to block translation or steer the degradation of mRNAs.
But because miRNA function does not require perfect binding complementarity to mRNA targets, a single miRNA may regulate multiple mRNAs. This, coupled with an integral involvement in several biological processes (including immune responses, cell-cycle control, stem cell differentiation, and metabolism), as well as their sheer collective number (as many as 1,100 identified in humans to date), renders miRNA both a rich and confounding source of study.
A broad range of challenges and innovations in miRNA research were presented at CHI's recent conference on microRNA in Human Disease and Development.
A related and relatively mature field to miRNAs is siRNA, but researchers are still trying to overcome developmental challenges. There's been some recent good news, in terms of both clinical data and litigation settlements. Get the details here.
Kai Wang, Ph.D., senior research scientist at the Institute for Systems Biology, discussed extracellular miRNA as a new source of biomarkers. Dr. Wang and colleagues in David Galas' lab are studying many aspects of miRNA, both functional and disease-correlative. By profiling both miRNA and mRNA expression levels in numerous body fluids, including breast milk, urine, and plasma, they determined various miRNA signatures (profiles) discretely associated with various biological states (e.g., pregnancy, presence of disease, stage of disease).
The identification of stable miRNAs in extracellular environments suggests a biological function that may relate to cell-cell communication. Dr. Wang's research aims to understand the potential of miRNAs as biomarkers, as well as their mechanisms of function, intra- and extracellularly, through study of human samples and animal models.
The challenges, as he acknowledged in his presentation, are current limitations in miRNA measurement and assessment. "When we evaluate miRNA measurement data, we need to be extremely judicious." Using different platforms may yield significantly different results, which can complicate data verification and validation.
It is commonly acknowledged, for instance, that fluorescence- or other colorimetric-based microarray data can vary from that obtained with the same samples using qPCR, Dr. Wang noted. The imperative is, then, as much as possible, to use the same platform within a study and to be aware of possible differences between measurement methods, he advised.
Employing multiplexed assays to identify both miRNA and protein markers can strengthen conclusions about microarray data. Lorenzo Sempere, Ph.D., research assistant professor of medicine at Dartmouth Medical School, has adopted a multiplexing strategy combining in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry for co-detecting, respectively, miRNA and clinically relevant protein markers at single-cell resolution.
Standard microarrays can fail to distinguish "altered miRNA expression within the cancer cell compartment or other elements of the tumor microenvironment; for example, upregulation of a miRNA in cancer cells or immune cells may each have etiological relevance and clinical significance, but obviously indicate vastly different biological processes," he said.
"In addition, the ratio of cancer cells to stromal cells in different tumors can vary substantially, confounding interpretation of results. A tumor sample with a high percentage of cancer cells expressing a particular miRNA at low levels may yield similar results as a tumor sample with a low percentage of cancer cells expressing that same miRNA at very high levels."
Dr. Sempere has developed multiplexed in situ fluorescence assays which he described as appropriate for current diagnostic workflows in typical clinical pathology labs. His team is implementing a fully automated pipeline of marker detection and computer-assisted analysis for "morphology-driven tissue slide-based assays," applying patented Dartmouth miRNA biomarkers and detection methods. His goal is to "accurately and reproducibly" determine the role of miRNA-mediated processes in different cellular compartments.
Dr. Sempere has applied in-house synthesized fluorochromes for detection of other RNA markers to assess RNA quality and integrity, and protein markers to characterize particular cellular components associated with specific cell identities. He has used the multiplexed assays to localize expression of miR-21 and miR-155 (putative oncogenes known to be upregulated in cancer), to cancer cells and reactive stroma, and to immune cells in solid tumors, respectively. Such characterizations will serve to "increase the diagnostic power" of aberrant miRNA expression analyses, he said.
