How To Stop A Tantrum With ScienceSierra Black
I spent the afternoon teaching neuroscience to my kids, ages 3 and 6.
I'm not one of these over achieving parents who needs her kids to memorize the scientific names of plants or do calculus in preschool. If you'd asked me yesterday if my kids needed a neuroscience lesson, I might have laughed at you.
Now I know better. Tina Payne Bryson has a cool post up on her blog, Parenting Matters, about how a very simple neuroscience lesson can help your kids control their own tantrums. This is actually incredibly cool. I loved it, my kids loved it. We had the calmest afternoon we've had in a long time.
What's Bryson's secret? She teaches kids to be STARS (her anagram for her method).
Bryson uses an extremely simple model of the brain when talking to kids. She just asks them to imagine that their brain has an upstairs and a downstairs. Your downstairs brain feels all your feelings, and sometimes gets so crowded with intense feelings that you explode into a tantrum.
Happily, there is also an upstairs brain. As Bryson explains it, this upstairs brain controls your thoughts. This is where the STARS come in.
With your upstairs brain, you can choose to be a STAR, and:
- Stop
- Think
- Act
- Reflect
Maybe the anagram is a little silly, but these are skills I'd like to be better at in my own life. Being able to teach them to my kids so clearly and simply at such a young age seems like an immeasurable gift. Next I'm going to try it out on my husband.

Loyal, caring, creative. Always the best listener she will always give you sound advice, but has often been guilty of not taking her own good advice. Not quick to trust or open up to new people, but once she let's you into her heart, you will always have a place there provided you don't screw it up. Loves to laugh even though stress rules her life. She loves to love and be loved in return. She always tries to be nice, but you will find yourself out of her good graces if you just assume her name is spelled "Laurie" or some other variation.
Lori is nice until you piss her off.

Woodinville to work on W-D, 156th
by Woodinville Weekly staff
WOODINVILLE--Woodinville sent a one million dollar package of road projects to bid recently. The projects are expected to improve capacity on Woodinville-Duvall Road, give residents who live off of 152nd Ave. N.E. and 160th Ave. N.E. a protected turn lane into their neighborhood, and provide a safer environment for pedestrians on 156th Ave. N.E. Construction will begin in mid-July, according to Deborah Knight, public works assistant.
The projects include:
Widening Woodinville-Duvall road at 160th Ave. N.E. to accommodate a center turning lane. The road shoulder from 160th east to 168th Ave. N.E. (Macks' Corner) will also be widened to six-feet, providing a continuous pedestrian and bike lane on both sides of the street.
A two-way left turn pocket on Woodinville-Duvall Road will be extended east from 151st to 152nd Ave. N.E. Also, the eastbound merge approaching AM PM will be moved beyond 156th Ave. N.E. Also, "Hidden Driveway" signs would be installed to alert motorists, Knight said.
A six-foot wide pedestrian walkway will be built on the west side of 156th Ave. N.E. from Woodinville-Duvall Road north to the county line. Knight said property owners have been notified of the work and what impacts it might have on their landscaping and mailboxes.
"We're going to be as sensitive as possible to everyone's needs," Knight said. She said the city estimated project costs at $325,000 for 160th, and $300,000 apiece for 152nd and 156th. The city batched the projects together to save money on construction management, Knight said, and added that this was the Public Works departments' road program for the year. Bids will be opened June 4 with the council awarding a contract June 8.

Memphis, Tenn. (AP) - An attorney said three armed men looking for Lorenzen Wright showed up at the home of the former NBA player's ex-wife about six weeks before he was found shot to death.
Lawyer Gail Mathes said her client, Sherra Wright, was afraid for herself and her children so kept quiet about the encounter until Monday. She then alerted police in the Memphis suburb of Collierville.
Mathes said the men, dressed in sport coats with weapons in view, threatened Sherra Wright and her family if she told anyone about the visit. Mathes' account was first reported by The Commercial Appeal.
Lorenzen Wright's body was found Wednesday in woods in southeast Memphis. He had been missing since July 18, when he left his ex-wife's house around midnight with an unidentified person.

Malignant Narcissism Or Middle-Aged White Dudes Constantly Boning Down?
An American writer hasn't won the Nobel Prize for Literature since 1993 (Toni Morrison). Slate's Alexander Nazaryan tells us why: "The rising generation of writers behind Oates, Roth and DeLillo are dominated by Great Male Narcissists — even the writers who aren't male (or white)."
"Uncreative Genius"
"The prominent literary critic Marjorie Perloff has recently begun using the term 'unoriginal genius' to describe this tendency emerging in literature. Her idea is that, because of changes brought on by technology and the Internet, our notion of the genius—a romantic, isolated figure—is outdated. An updated notion of genius would have to center around one's mastery of information and its dissemination. Perloff has coined another term, 'moving information,' to signify both the act of pushing language around as well as the act of being emotionally moved by that process. She posits that today's writer resembles more a programmer than a tortured genius, brilliantly conceptualizing, constructing, executing, and maintaining a writing machine." --Kenneth Goldsmith on why "genius" is an archaic concept, and how literature in English has fallen half-a-century behind advances in visual arts and music
"Ballard is probably the most original English writer of the last century"
"He surely had an indispensable role in the morphing of suburbia into disturbia in the cultural imagination, the real conception underlying the pretend-naïveté about the Sheppertons of the city and the mind--not only in the simple and tediously scandalous fact of his living there but in the power of his depicted suburbs too." China Mieville reviews J. G. Ballard's posthumous collection of short fiction.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has spoken to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and those in charge of discipline for the league, and he thinks they understand that he did not intend to interfere with Jacoby Jones' kickoff return in Baltimore Thanksgiving night, he told reporters Tuesday.
What he did, Tomlin acknowledged again, was "a lot of things—embarrassing, inexcusable, a blunder. I acknowledge that.''
MORE: Playoff picture | Bell feels 'lucky' injury wasn't worse | TUCKER: Stats are for losers
He said it wasn't clear what if any punishment there would be.
"There was no indication, and I didn't ask for any. I understand there are repercussions of a blunder of that nature. I also understand comes the charge of preserving and protecting the integrity of the game of football. My biggest error was not realizing that play jeopardized the integrity of the game from a perception standpoint.''
Reports from various outlets have conflicted since Sunday on whether the NFL would hit the Steelers with a fine or the loss of a draft pick, along with a six-figure fine for Tomlin.
Along with Goodell, Tomlin said he spoke to executive vice president Ray Anderson and vice president of football operations Merton Hanks last weekend. He said that he came out of the individual discussions believing that he would not be judged on his possible intent. He repeated that he did not position himself on the sideline, with a foot on the field of play, purposely to impede Jones. Throughout his time as head coach, he pointed out, he has watched kickoffs on stadium video screens facing away from the play.
"You'll see that my actions are very consistent in that regard, in term of kickoffs,'' he said, adding that Goodell, Anderson and Hanks understood that and have seen evidence to prove it.
Of Goodell, Tomlin said, "I think he appreciates the connection." Asked if he spoke to the commissioner to help his cause, he said, "I don't think I'm capable of helping my cause."

In a Makefile, I have something like the following:
# makefile start
X = "default_x"
Y = "default_y"
dosomething -x $(X) -y $(Y)
$(MAKE) targA X=newX
#makefile end
I'd like to be able to have the option to specify another value of Y
on the command line when making targB and have that passed correctly
to "dosomething"
make targB Y=new_Y
In fact, in my real makefile, I have several such variables I'd like
to be able to modify on the command line. The only way I've been able
to come up with to do this is to modify targB so
$(MAKE) targA X=newX Y=$(Y)
but this gets unwieldy for several variables. Is there a better way to
do this? Is there a Make macro in which command line variables/macros
are stored?

Deadline Now: Lloyd Jacobs, M.D.
Friday, February 22, 2013
University of Toledo President Lloyd Jacobs is this week's guest, in a wide-ranging conversation about the University, higher education in general, rising costs, shrinking funding and much more.
Here are Jack Lessenberry's Final Thoughts for this edition of "Deadline Now:"
During his State of the Union address earlier this month, President Obama noted the importance of higher education.
Among other things, he said that "today, skyrocketing costs price way too many young people out of a higher education, or saddle them with unsustainable debt."
Anybody who works with students today knows just how true that is. However, the president added:
"But taxpayers cannot continue to subsidize the soaring cost of higher education. Colleges must do their part to keep costs down, and it's our job to make sure they do."
Well, while that makes sense to some degree, in large part I think that's a contradiction.
Of course colleges and universities have to control costs, and I think most institutions have gone through significant and rational belt-tightening in recent years.
But I think taxpayers absolutely do need, in the president's words, to subsidize the cost of higher education. Otherwise, we won't have a civilized industrial society worthy of the name.
Taxpayers, whether they realize it or not, subsidize the costs of the public health service, as well as the costs of making sure our water and our food supply are clean. Similarly, we subsidize education. Higher education is no longer a frill or a luxury.
Modern society can't live without it. I suspect Dr. Jacobs, who served in the Marine Corps, was the beneficiary of a taxpayer subsidized education. In my view, he more than repaid society by giving back to the community, first as a surgeon, then by running a medical school and then an entire major university.
When I was young, society was eager to subsidize higher education, primarily for one big reason. Americans saw ourselves as locked in a mortal struggle at all levels with the world's other superpower, the Soviet Union. Moscow had beaten us into outer space, and appeared to be producing more s
cientists and engineers.
We thought we were locked into a struggle for national survival. We poured resources into education. Money was found, not only for buildings and laboratories, but for tuition and scholarships.
Eventually, however, the Cold War ended; the Soviet Union collapsed, and we suddenly had far less interest in seeing that everyone capable had access to higher education.
But this is clearly wrong-headed. With few exceptions, there are no longer high-paying unskilled jobs.
Not everyone needs a conventional four-year college education.
The world very much needs highly trained welders and electricians. But this region and this nation very much need a more highly educated workforce. If we fail to make education affordable for this and future generations, when it comes to prosperity, we just might as well have lost the Cold War.

Milwaukee homes will be required to have certain smoke detectors
Published 4:24 PM CST Dec 13, 2012
Homes in Milwaukee will soon be required to have a certain type of smoke detector.
A new city ordinance mandates 10-year smoke alarms with nonremovable batteries.
City leaders hope the new alarms will help save lives.
"Seventy-five percent of fire deaths have been due to lack of working alarms, and the lack of working alarms comes from primarily two causes: either dead or missing batteries," Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said.
The new smoke detector ordinance takes effect in June.
Thursday's reminder was so people could get ready and also to encourage fire safety during the holiday season.

The one-time Title 1 and special-education funds, allocated over a two-year period, could be used for staff training, technology developments and the expansion of data systems, according to State Superintendent Jack O'Connell.
However, school districts are able to use 50 percent of special-education funding to offset dollars taken from the general fund to run the district programs.
The U.S. Department of Education awarded California $564 million in stimulus funds in April for Title I and $634 million in special-education programs, known as Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), O'Connell said.
That amount constitutes half of the funds expected to go to California, O'Connell said. The remaining half is expected to be awarded in the fall, he said.
Newhall and Sulphur Springs school districts are set to receive the largest amount of Title I funds.
Title I funding pumps dollars into Title I-designated school sites with socioeconomically-disadvantaged students.
Newhall School District is expected to receive $351,173 over a two-year period in Title I funds, Superintendent Marc Winger said.
Funding for each Title I school will range from $26,000 to $56,000, Winger said.
Newhall School District has four Title I elementary schools: McGrath, Newhall, Peachland and Wiley Canyon, Winger said.
Winger didn't have a specific dollar figure that he expected the district to receive for special education.
Sulphur Springs School District expects $264,206 in Title I funding over a two-year period, said Vicky Myers, assistant superintendent of business services.
That funding benefits the district's four Title I elementary schools: Leona Cox, Valley View, Mint Canyon and Canyon Springs, she said.
Special education funding for Sulphur Springs most likely will total $1,121,431, she said.
Saugus Union School District is expected to receive about $279,000 for its two Title I elementary schools, Rio Vista and Cedarcreek, Superintendent Judy Fish said.
Another $1.6 million is expected for the special-education program, she said.
At Castaic Union School District, about $69,000 in Title I funding should come in, Superintendent James Gibson said.
The plan is to fund some personnel positions with the two-year money, he said. The funding will most likely go to Live Oak Elementary School, he said.
For the special education program, Castaic Union expects to see $390,000, Gibson said.
The William S. Hart Union High School District should receive $4 million in special-education funding, district spokeswoman Pat Willett said.
The Hart district does not receive Title I funding, Willett said. The district opted out of that program.
Special-education funding comes to the Santa Clarita Valley Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) before money is allocated to local school districts.
Additional federal funding, in the form of so-called stabilization money, is expected to reach the districts later this year.

New 'Dredd' Photos Feature Scowling, Olivia Thirlby and Lena Headey
Posted on Monday, July 25th, 2011 by Russ Fischer
Helmets and Scowling. Could be a new detective show, or a sludgy metal band from Ohio. In this case, those two words are simply the first things that come to mind when looking at new photos from Dredd, which is the second and hopefully superior adaptation of the long-running Judge Dredd comic book series. Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, and Lena Headey star under the direction of Pete Travis. This batch of pics shows us a bit more than we've previously seen of the dour and harsh world in which Dredd and his burg Mega-City One exist. Check them out after the break, and see if they make you crack a smile. Read More »

The British National Health Service of 1948 was a social advance of great magnitude, bringing medical care to those who could least afford it. Nevertheless, the elimination of the financial barrier between the physician and patient has not solved all problems. It has encouraged over-prescribing and has vastly increased the national drug bill. Fifteen percent of the prescriptions are for psychotrophic medicines. Great quantities of prescribed drugs are not consumed and are left in domestic medicine cupboards, which may be a factor in the recent epidemic of self-poisoning. Britain is certainly not exceptional, however, in the consumption of drugs in comparison with other countries in the Western World.
The work of the British Safety of Drugs Committee during the last 5 years is described, and the provisions of the new Medicines Act are outlined.
More thorough undergraduate and postgraduate instruction in therapeutics and applied pharmacology is urged.

help needed regarding Bios.h
Why BIOS.H header is not working under DEVC++ environment... so what is it's eqvilant header in DEVC++... can anybody help me out in this issue..
Re: help needed regarding Bios.h
The bios.h header file is for 16 bit DOS programs. I do not believe DEVC++ can compile 16 bit DOS programs.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
Re: help needed regarding Bios.h
i Actually need to see which key is pressed when i hit the keyboard. bioskey() will return the Value of the key pressed. that's why :)
Re: help needed regarding Bios.h
What operating system are you using?
Why not use the standard C/C++ from stdio.h/iostream to get the key?
If you are writing a game/application using graphics, then what graphics package are you using?
With "Modern" operating systems direct access to the computer bios/hardware is not allowed.

Pardon the Corruption: More Scandals Ahead
They all cheat in some way, of course. Only those who are loose, dumb and reckless get caught. When $7.3 billion is being pumped into the mechanism beginning next year -- all so programs from five megaconferences and Notre Dame (btw, why is Notre Dame still special?) can compete for four berths in ESPN's new playoff system -- why wouldn't there be complete lawlessness and anarchy? Hell, the official network of college football can launch a half-hour daily show. Call it ``Pardon the Corruption.'' What concerns me about the Oklahoma State scandal isn't so much what happened in the tumbleweed winds of Stillwater between 2001 and 2011 -- though the allegations are scummy enough that I took three showers after reading the details. No, it's how this will be an impropriety blueprint for years ahead, when the 64 power programs are governing themselves, running roughshod over the rules and turning the sport into a bigger Wild Wild West sham. Scandals have been as much a part of college football as marching bands and tallgating, and the five-part Sports Illustrated expose only reminds us of this: The sins of previous decades will continue more egregiously in the future, when the ESPN boardroom is running the kingdom and prioritizing clever student signs on ``College GameDay'' over law and order. So don't even blink when you read Part 1 of the SI series, which reports how players were paid upwards of $25,000 under the table via an elaborate process involving boosters and a bag-man assistant coach. Or Part 2, which reveals an academic fraud show starring professors and tutors. Or Part 3, which exposes a drug culture that ignored positive tests and allowed players to get high at their leisure. Or Part 4, which looks into the school's hostess program and how some coeds had sex with recruits. Or Part 5, which details how many players purged by the program end up homeless, in prison and/or suicidal and receive no help from the school. All of which happened on the watches of two coaches:
- Les Miles, who has gone on to superstardom at LSU.
- Mike Gundy, who embarrassed himself in 2007 with his infamous rant at a female columnist -- ``Come after me! I'm a man! I'm 40!'' -- and since has lifted the Cowboys into status as a top 10 program.
If even half of these allegations are true, Gundy should be fired immediately and Miles should be seriously reprimanded by his current employer, if not fired himself. Of course, that's now how it works in a multi-billion-dollar industry. Oklahoma State is putting on an aw-shucks face, hoping the stench blows away. Gundy cracked a joke, then said, ``I'll be real honest with you. I know the part that may have involved me. I'm not sure we know it all yet. But we've had tremendous support from administration, from the people behind the scenes who have looked at this and researched it. ? I'm going to guess that once we get all the information and we see what's out there, then our administration and the people inside will look at it and we'll see where we made mistakes and we'll try to make ourselves better and we'll correct it and then we'll move forward. And I would hope that there will be some of it that we look at and say I'm not sure one way or the other based on what's out there." Huh? Then there was athletic boss Mike Holder, who said, ``I don't think that it's really appropriate for me to answer any questions. I'm not really afraid of them. I just wouldn't have any answers. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to read these stories, however many days that it takes, catch my breath and then we'll start working through the process. Everybody out there, time to Cowboy Up, and let's ride for the brand." Cowboy Up? Let's ride for the brand? Oklahoma State football -- and its athletic department in sum -- is largely the creation of oil magnate and financier T. Boone Pickens. His name is on the stadium. He has funneled more than a half-billion dollars into the university. His money has helped a football program transform from sub-mediocre to big-time. Oddly, though not attached directly to the scandal by SI, he doesn't seem to be denying anything. Rather, he criticizes SI for focusing on the past and not the present at Oklahoma State. I think T. Boone can afford a calendar. The year 2011 wasn't long ago. ``There's one word I have for the Sports Illustrated reporting on Oklahoma State University: Disappointing,'' T. Boone wrote in a statement, obtained by USA Today. ``This series is not reflective of Oklahoma State University today. Many of (its) sensational allegations go back a decade ago. There have been wholesale changes at the school in recent years in leadership and facilities. During that time, I have given more than $500 million to OSU, for athletics and academics. Have I gotten my money's worth? You bet. We have a football program that has a commitment to principled sportsmanship. They understand the expectations we, as fans and supporters, have for the program. We have an incredible and growing fan base, and a loyal group of alums that believe in the character of our players, coaches and administrators. ``But I do welcome this scrutiny. If people take the time, it's an opportunity to better understand where Oklahoma State is today, not a decade ago. It's a different university today. It's a better university. If there are areas where we need to improve, we'll do it. ``Which leads me back to my disappointment with Sports Illustrated, and (its) failure to ask the most important question of all: What's happening at OSU today?'' In all likelihood, the same things going on the previous 12 years: rampant cheating. Oklahoma State is just the loose, dumb and reckless program that happened to get caught. With the NCAA apparently ducking away as a serious enforcement arm -- see: Johnny Manziel and autographs for pay -- and ESPN no longer interested in investigating its good-old-boy business partners in college football, the NFL and the rest of sports, I applaud Sports Illustrated for uncovering some dirt. That's one program down, 63 more to investigate.

For more than a century, the perfect formula for resuscitation of shock in the injured patient has been sought. The search has greatly benefitted from the curiosity and intelligence of surgeons assigned to care for combat injuries. A unique feature of combat medical care is the opportunity to blend knowledge from civilian care into strategies for care of combat injuries. The lessons learned are used to improve outcomes for combat injuries and these lessons are returned into civilian trauma practice and adjusted to improve civilian outcomes.

A woman plunged 75 feet into a ravine near the Bouquet Reservoir early Wednesday but suffered no significant injuries, fire officials said.
About 7:30 a.m., a 2005 Hyundai van traveling on Bouquet Canyon Road left the roadway between Spunky Canyon Road and Martindale Ridge Road, according to a spokeswoman with the California Highway Patrol.
Emergency response teams assigned to the Angeles National Forest received their first report of the incident at 10:15 a.m., said national forest spokesman Nathan Judy.
The CHP arrived at the crash site at 10:37 a.m. and immediately requested a tow truck equipped with at least 75 feet of cable to tow the van from the bottom of the creek bed.
"She wasn't injured," tow truck driver Larry Mason of LM Towing said of the van's driver.
"She ended up 75 feet down, into a creek bed."
Paramedics with the Los Angeles County Fire Department arrived at the scene at 10:52 a.m.
The woman, described as in her late 20s, suffered only minor injuries and was not transported to a hospital, said a Fire Department spokesman.

From April 16, 2006, through May 30, 2013, a team of reviewers from HealthNewsReview.org, many of whom were physicians, evaluated the reporting by US news organizations on new medical treatments, tests, products, and procedures. After reviewing 1889 stories (approximately 43% newspaper articles, 30% wire or news services stories, 15% online pieces [including those by broadcast and magazine companies], and 12% network television stories), the reviewers graded most stories unsatisfactory on 5 of 10 review criteria: costs, benefits, harms, quality of the evidence, and comparison of the new approach with alternatives. Drugs, medical devices, and other interventions were usually portrayed positively; potential harms were minimized, and costs were ignored. Our findings can help journalists improve their news stories and help physicians and the public better understand the strengths and weaknesses of news media coverage of medical and health topics.

Crews have found what appear to be 22 grave sites at the construction site at the Gaillard Auditorium and were looking at a possible two additional graves Thursday afternoon.
Because the graves are appearing in a noticeable "north-south" row, more are expected to be found.
Crews working at the construction site today worked in quick succession, using a track hoe to removed tons of earth before resorting to shovels and then trowels for the more ginger work.
The graves found appear as squared-off brownish- purple stains in the grown. The stains may not be decayed coffins, but could be more a reflection of the ground disturbance when the holes were opened and then filled back in.
Early estimates are that the graves pre-date 1780. No other identifying details were immediately found.
Crews began this morning expanded the dig site to a 50-foot-by-50-foot area and were searching north and south of the first two sets of remains found last week.
At some point the digging for new graves will stop today as the work shifts temporarily toward excavating and removing sets of bone remains.

Maison Martin Margiela x H&M – the skinny

I'm getting quite skilled at the auld H&M designer collaboration queue – after all, I was there before, at Versace earlier on this year (and at Stella McCartney way back when, although I remember that less well). Despite my having form, it was with a heavy heart that I obeyed my 6.30am alarm clock and dragged my weary limbs out of the house, on to the bike* and off to South King St to queue with the other trendoids.
For the uninitiated, the H&M designer collaborations are planned with military precision: at 8am, staff begin handing out wristbands. The colour on your wristband tells you which time slot you will be shopping in. You arrive five minutes before your allocated time and are herded, like cattle, into a holding pen. You wait and watch the 20 lucky people who got in ahead of you pull and push and sweat and pant their way through the other holding pen, containing The Clothes. You get 10 minutes to shop, and you are allowed to take one of each item into the changing room. If you need a size change, you tell the staff. You are not permitted to re-enter the pen, nor are you permitted to buy more than one of any item (except menswear; Irish men, H&M has decided, don't care about designers, so you can buy as much as you want).
By 7.25am, there were 20 people in the queue. I know this, because I was 21st – meaning I missed the chance to be in the first wave, and instead had to wait until 9.25am for my chance to shine. At 9.15am I made my way downstairs towards the holding pen. I thought I was early, but no; at least 10 of the 20 in my group were there before me, chewing at the proverbial bit. While we waited, I was positively flabbergasted by the number of people I saw buying tonnes – and I mean tonnes - of gear. And this gear was not cheap; I bought six items (not all of which were for me; I shop to order these days) and I spent €670. These people were buying at least €2,000 worth of Martin Margiela x H&M branded clothing. At least.
As H&M collaborations go, MMM was by far one of the best. The items are really well made, and they are cool, as well as being wearable (a juxtaposition H&M's designer collabs haven't always managed to achieve). The shoes were practically walking off the shelves (the perspex heels were reminiscent of Simone Rocha's footwear, although given that MMM x H&M is basically a collection of reworked classics from MMM's main line, perhaps it is she who is reminiscent of him) and the silk skirts were hot news. So what did I buy?
This coat, which looks a little like a coat one might steal from the BFG
This dress, which is so cool and an unbelievably gorgeous shade of red
Silver pumps, because, y'know, why not?
And these high-tops, because I sometimes have fantasies wherein I am cool enough to wear high-tops
So what do you think? Did I do well? Have you seen any of the collection – and if so, what did you think?
* In hindsight, the bike was a bad choice.

It's hard to imagine that the graceful, understated jewelry that Anna Bario and Page Neal fabricate was once produced in a tiny, grimy studio at Ninth and Spring Garden.
"When we see customers who knew us then, it's like seeing your family?…," says Bario. "?'I was 25 and working in a dirty studio across from a pistol range, and somehow you believed in us.'?"
Now, the duo craft their wares in a sunny Queen Village shop with gray-painted hardwood floors and a pressed-tin ceiling — more apropos of their personal and professional aesthetic. The store, named Bario-Neal, at Sixth and Bainbridge Streets, also puts on display their unique concept: selling fine and casual jewelry that's ethically sourced and made on the spot. Bario, Neal, and their five employees design, cast, and finish their goods right in the working studio that doubles as a retail shop, which makes perusing the display cases a special shopping experience.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- An investigation into the downing of a Turkish warplane by Syria in June has created more questions than answers. The incident further strained relations between the two neighbors at a time when Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime has been mounting a brutal crackdown against rebel forces for more than a year and a half ago.
The recent report by the Turkish Military Prosecutor's Office blamed a Syrian missile for the June 22 crash of a Turkish warplane. Traces of missile material found on the plane's wreckage convinced investigators the exploding missile caused the crash even without a direct hit.
"Parts of the retrieved plane wreck were given a metallurgic examination and traces of potassium chlorate, which is used as an oxidizing agent in missile fuels and as the main substance in missile warheads, were found splashed on the plane's fuselage," the report stated.
Now investigators are questioning the presence of a Russian fleet in Syrian waters, the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet Daily News reported on Friday.
"If we wind back the film from the beginning and analyze it in a timeline, you will realize that some parts are still missing," an unnamed Turkish defense industry official told the newspaper.
"The plane was shot down north of Syria, but it was a Lebanese media outlet that first announced the news, not the Syrians. One must ask how Lebanon learned of the event before the Syrians. Secondly (the) Syrians stated they had no radar image, the plane was hit by an anti-aircraft weapon as it was flying near Syrian territory."
"The existence of a Russian fleet and its capacity to hit a Turkish plane bring some hesitations to mind," the official continued.
"If we are certain that the plane was downed by a blast effect, then we are talking about a missile. It also brings the question of type. Which missile? A long-range missile fired from Syrian territory would have appeared on Turkish radar. Short-range may not appear on radar but it could not reach the plane either," he said.
"We have to ask what kind of medium-range (missile) can be fired from the sea. This option brings the Russian fleet to mind as a Syrian navy barely exists," he concluded.
Syria claimed the plane was shot down in its airspace by anti-aircraft fire, but Turkey said it went down in international airspace near the Turkish-Syrian border. The two pilots were reportedly rescued from the Mediterranean.

Charlie Peacock: Accepting the Gift of Freedom
All About Jazz: Let's start with a question so obvious you're probably already tired of being asked it. You've had an extremely successful career in the pop and gospel worlds as a producer and as a solo artist. At this point, I guess you could have continued that indefinitely or you could have gone into any area that interested you. Why a jazz record?
Charlie Peacock: In 1999, I was probably completely burned out on making pop records, so I started looking for an antidote to that. I'm one of these artists that really believes that you create and then you assess. On a very large scale, that might be three or four years of working and then you've got to take the entire month of December and just see if you're going in the right direction. So I've done that for the last twenty-five years pretty faithfully, and in '99 it was one of those assessment years, and the antidote for me was to get back to improvisation first. And so I got with my friend [saxophonist] Jeff Coffin, who plays with the Flecktones, and started just improvising with himfree improvisation. I wanted to get completely away from composition, pop song structure, and all of that, and just let my love of improvisation lead me to where the next steps were. So over several years, that started taking me into different areas, whether it was working on a duets record with Jeff or starting Love Press Ex-Curio. But that's how it all started.
AAJ: So this album, Love Press Ex-Curio, was tracked in two basic sessions; one was in New York City and the other was in Bellevue, Tennessee, which I assume is close to where you live.
CP: Yeah, it's at our house here.
AAJ: Were these sessions recent or were they done over an extended period of time?
CP: It started three years ago. It had been an ongoing project and when I started a new production company for developing pop artists, part of putting that business together was to have a development relationship with one of the independent distribution mechanisms. I had worked with RedSony Red at that timeon Switchfoot [the multiplatinum alternative-rock group Peacock produced] records, so I knew they could do a good job, and I made a deal with Red to release indie-level product. And then it was like, "oh, I can put this record out.
AAJ: So when did you do the basic tracks?
CP: I think they started four years ago.
AAJ: I wonder if, when you're dealing with a long-term project like this, and going back to tracks, and adding things to themdo you ever reach a point where you're saturated with the work and not even sure whether it's good?
CP: Yes, definitely, and I think that that was one of the benefits of not working on a schedule for this sort of first go-around. I could relearnor maybe, in some ways, learn for the first time what kinds of assessment skills I needed to sharpen to be able to pull that off. So it was a good R&D time for me, and I learned a lot through it. And now on my subsequent projectsI've got two more going right nowI'm giving myself deadlines. Because, you know, the whole rest of my career has been on deadlines. If you really become an active participant in the music business, then you only get that first record without a deadline, in a sense anyway, because you've been working on it your whole life. And after that, depending on whether you're producing or doing your own work as an artist, it could be every three months, it could be every year, every year-and-a-half.
AAJ: The tunes on Love Press Ex-Curionot to suggest they are 100% composed, but were they written just before the sessions? Or were you writing in the studio?
CP: Some of them written for the sessions and some were written afterwards. It really depended on how that particular piece was coming together. All of the New York sessions had a lot of detailed parts written for them, and the Bellevue sessions were more born out of, say, one evening of a jam session.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Portland Trail Blazers were all quizzed about their recent success. Jarrett Jack gave perhaps the most concise reply.
"I think it's just a contagious confidence," he said.
The Blazers have won five straight, including Wednesday night's 105-95 victory over the Golden State Warriors. Travis Outlaw came off the bench to lead Portland with 22 points and eight rebounds.
Outlaw's dunk with 3:20 left gave the Blazers a 100-89 lead, and James Jones followed up with a 3-pointer to put it away.
The Blazers, who built a 14-point lead early but briefly lost their advantage in the third quarter, had not won five straight since a run last December.
Brandon Roy had 21 points and seven assists, while Joel Przybilla had 15 points and 10 rebounds for Portland. Jones added 21 points, also off the bench.
"It's the same thing in all of our victories, we've got a number of guys coming to play. It was no different tonight, we had a lot of guys step up," Roy said.
Golden State, coming off a victory at home over San Antonio on Tuesday night, has won 12 of its previous 15 games. Baron Davis led the Warriors with 23 points and 11 assists.
The Blazers were without LaMarcus Aldridge, the team's leading scorer and rebounder, for the second straight game. Aldridge is day-to-day with plantar fasciitis, a painful foot condition.
Additionally, the Blazers lost forward Martell Webster during the game because of the flu.
Starting guard Monta Ellis did not play for Golden State because of a strained left thigh.
"Definitely not having Monta out there is a big problem," Stephen Jackson said. "We play a lot faster. It slowed us down a lot and we didn't have an extra ball handler out there."
Both teams were playing the second of back-to-back games. The Warriors beat the Spurs 96-84 at home on Tuesday night, while the Blazers won 97-89 at Utah.
"Tonight I thought the guys, even short-handed, really stepped up and showed how they have grown in the last week," Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. "I really think the whole team is getting a feel of what we want to do."
Tied at 22 after the first quarter, the Blazers went on a 20-6 run capped by Jones' 3-pointer and a pair of free throws, to go up 42-28.
Golden State came back to close within 51-46 on Austin Croshere's 3-pointer, and trailed by 54-49 at the half.
The Warriors continued their comeback after the break and narrowed it to 61-60 on Stephen Jackson's steal and dunk. Davis gave Golden State the lead with a 16-foot jumper.
The Blazers regrouped and pulled ahead with a 12-2 run, going up 79-69 after Jones' jumper.
"We were beaten by a better team tonight and that will happen," Warriors coach Don Nelson said. "We didn't play well enough to win and they did."
The Blazers raised their home record to 8-3.
"You come in here and you want to win, you're going to have to take it from us," Jack said. "We're not giving anything away."
The Portland Trail Blazers and the Rose Garden are looking for a corporate partner to buy naming rights for the arena. It is the first time a corporate-naming partnership has been offered at the Rose Garden since it opened in 1995. The team and arena are both affiliates of Vulcan, Inc., which is owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. ... Stephen Jackson, having an off night from the floor, fouled out with 3:49 left. "I'm still trying to figure out what's considered a foul and what's not a foul," the 7-year veteran said. "I got to read the players' manual. I'm confused right now." ... It was Przybilla's second double-double of the season, and his seventh game with at least 10 rebounds. Przybilla is seeing more playing time in Aldridge's absence.

I have a dlink dwl-122 wifi usb dongle. Which distro has best support
for this thing? I have tried Ubuntulinux, but to use it I have to
compile the kernel etc etc. Something I found to be very painful. I am
a linux newbie. and I want a Linux distro that works with my usb
dongle. I only have internet access wirelessly so I cannot apt-get
files. Like if I need wlan-ng I would have to bring them manually with
a usb stick, something I want to avoid.
What about the Gentoo 2005? I have tried YDL earlier but not for wifi
access (however I find this distro to be a bit heavy, slow..)

Pictures of Rob arriving Saturday night at Los Angeles International Airport have surfaced, conclusively proving that – for whatever reason – Rob did not attend his sister's wedding.
A bodyguard for the family told PEOPLE that Rob wasn't present for the rehearsal dinner Thursday in Paris – he stayed in the hotel that night – because "all this wasn't his scene."
TMZ is reporting that Rob was "in tears" in the Florence Airport while trying to secure a flight home to L.A., following an unspecified inter-family argument.
Whatever the reason, it's 180 degrees from earlier in May, when a source told PEOPLE that Rob "wouldn't miss [the wedding] for the world," adding that, "Sure he's missed some family vacations too but he won't miss his sister's wedding."

Forensics—the scientific analysis of physical evidence for prosecution or exoneration of individuals in criminal cases—has seen great advances such as the investigation of computer crimes using digital forensics and DNA analysis. DNA evidence has revolutionized criminal investigations and adjudications in attaining exonerations and convictions—providing evidence of identity, with near certainty.Cover image courtesy of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Scientific Services Bureau, Photo-Digital Imaging Section.
