Dozens of Larry Hagman fans toasted the actor Monday at Southfork Ranch shortly before Dallas aired its J.R. Ewing funeral episode on Monday night.
The gathering, according to The Dallas Morning News, was Dallas co-star Linda Gray's idea, though she didn't attend.
The News reported the crowd stood in front of J.R.'s mansion, looked off into the sunset and toasted the fictional oil tycoon with Hagman's signature end-of-the-day toast: "Gong bong."
In November, Hagman died of cancer at 81. And when he died, he took J.R. with him.
One writer for the Dallas Morning News opined about what the fictional character and the show did for the real city of Dallas.
"Aside from, possibly, the Dallas Cowboys and their cheerleaders, nothing post-JFK did more to shape the city's image in the world's eyes than the original show — which ran from 1978 to 1991 — and the greedy oil baron who became its most recognizable character," he wrote.
The show opened Monday night with a slightly different version of its traditional theme, which was a salute to one of the most popular TV villains ever. Check out the video of the intro below. The revised opening starts at the 4:09 mark.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban made appearances in the episode as well.
Ewing was a character people loved to hate. And who can blame them with some of those quotable lines.
"Blood may be thicker than water, but oil is thicker than both."
"You got no morals, you got no scruples. You may just be worthy of me yet."
People took to Twitter to remember one of the most memorable characters in TV history, including co-star Gray.

Many people know the name Adam Taliaferro.
Few know the name Sarah Scott.
While Taliaferro, a former Penn State football player, is a hero to many, Scott, a former competitive cyclist, lives in relative obscurity.
Taliaferro is a hero because he suffered and overcame a terrible spinal injury on a football field in front of 100,000 people and millions more watching on TV in 2000. It was feared he would be paralyzed for life, but doctors and grueling rehab helped him walk again.
He's now a lawyer and will always be a true inspiration.
Scott, meanwhile, is paralyzed. And always will be.
Her injuries from a crash in the 2005 Tour de 'Toona were not caught on film, and barely anyone even saw it happen.
Scott's spinal injuries could not be fixed by doctors, and she likely will be paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of her life.
Try and imagine yourself in Scott's situation. She was a healthy, physically fit young woman who was competing in her favorite sport. Then she crashed, and in an instant, the life she knew was over.
That is incredibly tragic.
And it could happen to anyone playing virtually any sport at any time.
It happened to Sarah Scott, and my heart goes out to her.
It's disappointing in our society that most sports fans barely pay attention to severe injuries suffered by lesser-known athletes like Scott, yet, when it happens to a football player, it's huge national news.
I'm not here to weigh in on the legal decision rendered Friday against Scott. Her case went through our court system, all the facts came out, and we have to entrust that the judges made the best decision they could.
Maybe it was the right decision. Maybe it wasn't. Most of us will never know.
It's sadly ironic, though, that on a day USA Today decided to publish a story about Taliaferro's hard work coming back from his injury, the Mirror had a story about Scott losing a court case.
Taliaferro is able to live a normal life, and that is wonderful.
Sarah Scott will never live a normal life. Her life changed drastically in the blink of an eye.
It's a shame our society often turns a blind eye to injured athletes like her.

Exclusive: Paul Rudd torments his family and fashion on new 'Our Idiot Brother' poster
The Crocs alone are going to get me in the theater.
I'm sure there are people out there who don't like Paul Rudd, but I can't actually recall meeting any of them. I know first-hand the effect he has on the ladies, because I've witnessed it whenever my wife is around him or even watching him, and I think there is an entire generation of women who were marked for life by "Clueless." For comedy fans, there was a rebirth of Rudd that started with "Wet Hot American Summer" and really picked up speed thanks to "Anchorman." And Hollywood loves him, as evidenced by James L. Brooks casting him as the lead in his last film and actually casting Jack Nicholson to play his dad.
When you talk to Rudd about comedy, it's obvious that he's a huge fan and a rabid consumer, a guy who is almost always out there pushing for the new. One of the reasons I love seeing him make comedies is because I know how seriously he takes it. You should listen to the new "Comedy Bang-Bang" podcast, where host Scott Aukerman talks to Rudd, David Wain, and Ken Marino about the making of "Wet Hot." Rudd's great at taking what is on the page and making it live and breathe, but he's also one of those guys who is just painfully funny in off-hand conversation.
I missed "Our Idiot Brother" at Sundance this year, but I look forward to it. Not just for Rudd, either, but also for the rest of the cast. Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, AND Emily Mortimer are the sisters? Man, I get the vapors just reading that list. All lovely, all hilarious. I think comedy is at its best when it offers up something recognizable, something that you immediately can tie back into your own life experience, and this notion of the one family member who just can't get their act together, who serves as a sort of shambling amiable cautionary tale for everyone else in the family… well, that seems very direct and real to me. I'm excited to finally see this one.
And now, as a HitFix exclusive, we've got the new one sheet from the film for you:
Looks good, and I can't wait to check it out for myself when "Our Idiot Brother" arrives in theaters.

Can I upgrade to u verse without the tv package? The uverse elite plan seems good for 29.99 when I pay 38.00 for the normal elite.
Seems like you can go just with the internet (filter for that alone with the link I gave), as I skipped TV service to get phone service, too. The bandwidth caps sound annoying, but I'm feeling better about staying under the future 250GB monthly U-verse limit after taking some measurements.

Decode and Understand Your Paycheck
|Email Print
I remember when I received my first real pay stub, it was a mixture of happiness and absolute horror. It was my first summer internship after my freshman year of college. I was earning something like $12 and I was pumped that in my first week I'd earn $480. Then I saw my paycheck.
At first glance, your paycheck is a lot of numbers in tables. If you spend a few minutes, you can generally decode and understand what's going on. However, sometimes it takes a little extra work because your company will use acronyms you aren't 100% familiar with. When I looked at my first paycheck, I was able to decode it pretty easily… the Feds got their piece, NY state got their piece, and then this weirdo named FICA took a little slice. What? Who the heck is FICA?
Decoding Your Paycheck
You have two main sections on your paycheck – the earnings and the deductions. The earnings will describe the income you've earned for the Pay Period, listing both your rate, for the period, and the number of hours in that period. This is fairly straightforward and this is known as your Gross Pay.
Your Net Pay is your Gross Pay minus all of your deductions. Deductions are broken up into two categories – Required or statutory deductions and Other deductions.
Required/Statutory Deductions
This section covers deductions for Federal and State taxes, Medicare, and Social Security. For the most part you can't change how these deductions are handled. The only one you can control are the Federal and States taxes, as the amount deducted will depend in part by the number of exemptions you claimed on your W-4. You can adjust your withholding if you suspect you are paying too much in taxes. Various calculators can help you determine if your is withholding too much, it's not simply a matter of looking at the federal income tax brackets and doing a simple calculation.
Medicare and Social Security, sometimes listed as FICA, cannot be adjusted. In 2010, 6.2% of your salary, up to $106,800 in annual earnings, will be taken out of your paycheck for Social Security. 1.45% will be taken out for Medicare taxes. You may see the two listed as a FICA deduction. FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act, which covers both (and other insurance like old-age, survivors, and disability insurance).
Other Deductions
This section covers every other deduction from your paycheck. You will usually find the deductions for your medical insurance, dental insurance, retirement contributions like your 401(k), disability insurance, and other similar "optional" deductions. You can change these deductions by changing the underlying reason for them. If you reduce your retirement contribution, then this deduction will be smaller.
In this list of deductions, there should be an indication that certain deductions are "excluded from federal taxable wages." On ADP paychecks, that symbol is an asterisk (*) beside the dollar amount. This means that those deductions are not taxed by the federal government.
Other Benefits & Information
This final section doesn't have pay information but does list any other benefits you have, such as vacation and sick time. Some companies keep separate tallies for your sick days and vacation days. Other companies will lump them into one grouping and call it Paid Time Off (PTO). However your company does it, your accrued hours and used hours are listed here.
Finally, have your paycheck direct deposited as soon as possible. There's no reason why you should wait for a paper check in the mail, have it direct deposited and get your money that much sooner.
That should cover everything on your pay stub. If there is a piece of information on that form that confuses you (or confused you once upon a time), please share it in the comments!

Do pet fish have less of a worth because they are fish?
ODD got a pet fish as a birthday present and I think it was sick when we got him. My husband said, "it's just a $4 fish, it if dies then get a new one!"
It made me wonder why people feel this way (I did until we got the little bugger). It can't be the price, because if you got a cat or dog for free, you wouldn't just let it die, right?
So I've been on forums all day and went to the pet stores to figure out how to save this little fish that may still die, that ODD isn't even attached to yet.
What do you think? Just a fish? As valuble as other species? Why?

Moms still weigh costs of balancing work, home life
Alicia Moore never imagined she'd be sitting behind a desk at the Medical College of Wisconsin with her name on the office door.
Odds were against her. Pregnant at 14, with parents who made it clear they would not raise her baby, Moore wasn't certain she would even finish high school.
But she did. She got up every weekday morning at 5:30, walked her son to day care and went to school. When she graduated, she decided on Marquette University.
Her journey took her through graduation, to a job at United Way, up through a master's degree in management from Cardinal Stritch University and to her desk as diversity coordinator at a college.
She did it all while raising two more children, on her own.
"I don't think I'm extraordinary," the 41-year-old Moore said. "There are two parts to my life: my kids and my career, in that order."
Working mothers everywhere know the challenge.
Though they might not have been teen moms, they know that balancing kids and a career is, at best, an 18-year-long, high-stakes tightrope walk.
Though many have supportive spouses, Grandma on demand or salaries that afford them live-in nannies or personal chefs, trade-offs remain.
Neither hope nor prayer can put a woman at her daughter's spelling bee and the company board meeting when both begin at 4 p.m. She can sneak in late to one. She can try to Skype. Or she can send someone in her place.
Something will be sacrificed.
Despite the Equal Pay Act approaching its 50th birthday, women still typically earn 80 percent of what men do working in the same industries, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' latest numbers.
And while women now account for 47 percent of all employed people, fewer than 8 percent of top earners in Fortune 500 companies are women, according to a December report by Catalyst, an international nonprofit that conducts research on women in leadership positions.
Such statistics make it more likely dual-income families will depend on the male to stay in the workforce when deciding who will spend more time at home with children, said Lynne Casper, a sociologist with the University of Southern California and former health scientist at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
Casper's students tend to think the sexes are fairly equal on most fronts.
"I ask them who sends birthday cards, their mom or their dad?" Casper says. "It's the moms. Women are still taught that we are the caretakers."
And while men are doing more cooking and cleaning, their contribution to household chores still lags. On an average day, for example, 83 percent of women and 65 percent of men "spent some time doing household activities such as housework, cooking, lawn care, or financial and other household management," according to an American Time Use Survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics released in June.
Imbalance prevails
Jennifer Walton, a 41-year-old mom of three from Kohler, Wis., feels the disparity. Walton works 40 to 45 hours a week in the information technology world. Though she works from home, she needs to be logged into her computer and ready to take calls or join meetings at 7 a.m.
Her husband works 50 hours a week as a project manager at an engineering firm.
Their children are 5, 2, and 9 months old.
"Each day feels like I'm sprinting a marathon but I never actually reach the finish line," Walton said. "The biggest challenge for me is getting my husband to pick up the slack and for me not to be bitter toward him for what seems to me to be a rather large imbalance between our responsibilities."
Walton is thankful that her husband does much more than other men she hears about. He changes diapers, takes out the trash and sometimes makes their daughter's lunch. But even then, he might tap her for guidance. He recently asked what he should pack their daughter to drink at school, for example.
"I'm thinking 'As long as you're not serving her up antifreeze, who cares? Do what you want. Just do it,'" Walton said.
Studies from the Pew Center for Research show Walton's experience is not unique.
Working moms are racing around trying to do it all. When surveyed about their time, 40 percent of working moms said they always feel rushed. That compares with 26 percent of moms who stay at home, and tops working dads, of whom just 25 percent said they always feel rushed, according to the 2010 report.
"We have been sold a bill of goods that there is no price to pay, no cost (to having it all). That is totally untrue,"said Carol Michalski, a psychotherapist and life coach and has been counseling women for about 30 years. "Young women are still getting that message that you can have it all, and they are going down in flames. And then they blame themselves."
Weighing the costs
"There are some businesses where you have to project an image that you can do it all," Michalski said. "So say what you need to say and if you can do it, great. But, the point is, there is a price. If it's time you don't get to bond with your baby, ... I'm not putting a value judgment on it. We all have our own values. We all have to decide what price we are willing to pay."
Alicia Moore -- the teen mom-turned-college diversity coordinator -- has considered the costs to her and her children. In 2011, as she worked on her master's degree, her 8-year-old daughter had to drop out of Girl Scouts. And every weekday morning when she drops the children at their before-school day care and her son, now in first grade, stands at the door waving goodbye, Moore admitted, "It hurts.
"A lot of women may look at me and be, like, 'Wow, you kept your kids up till 10 o'clock so you could get a master's degree.' Some people might look down their noses at that a little bit. But I think the trade-off on the other side is so much more beneficial to my children. (On) Dec. 15, my kids are going to be sitting at the Bradley Center, and they're going to see their mom get a master's degree. And they see their mom get up and go to work every day, and that's going to make them better people."

Position Statements
Society for Humanistic Psychology LGBT Position Statements
Task Force Committee Members: Louis Hoffman (Chair), Chad Johnson, Heatherlyn Cleare-Hoffman, Christin Gregory, Jimmy Carney, and Justin Lincoln
Position Statement on Sexual and Gender Minorities
The Society for Humanistic Psychology (American Psychological Association, Division 32) supports the basic rights and dignity of all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation and/or gender identity. The Society for Humanistic Psychology stands against any discrimination against sexual and gender minorities, including Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) individuals. Humanistic psychologists should be aware of and recognize the harm caused by various forms of discrimination, stereotyping, and bias against sexual and gender minorities. Psychological professionals providing services to sexual and gender minorities should receive appropriate training prior to working with these clients. Furthermore, humanistic psychologists should help promote the dissemination of accurate information about sexual minorities and seek to reduce harm in the public and professional spheres caused by prejudice, biases, and discrimination against sexual minorities. Any statement suggesting that sexual and gender minorities, when compared to heterosexual individuals, are not equally able to self-actualize and develop to their full potential as human beings stands contrary to the basic beliefs and values of humanistic psychology.
Position Statement on Same-Sex Marriage
The Society for Humanistic Psychology (American Psychological Association, Division 32) maintains the position that all individuals should be afforded all the same marital rights as heterosexual individuals, including the right to marry a partner of their choice, regardless of sexual orientation. Any legal or other barriers to marriage for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals may negatively impact the psychological health of these individuals and their children, as well as creating challenges in accessing the same economic and health resources available to heterosexual individuals.
Position Statement on Same-Sex Parenting
The Society for Humanistic Psychology (American Psychological Association, Division 32) supports the rights of same-sex couples to conceive and/or adopt and raise children. It is important for children to be raised in a loving and supportive home with caregivers who are able to provide healthy attachment relationships. The Society for Humanistic Psychology maintains there is no scientific or clinical evidence to support the position that being raised by same-sex parents causes harm. Furthermore, there is scientific and clinical support that gay and lesbian individuals are as able as heterosexual individuals to provide a loving, supportive home in which children can thrive. Humanistic psychologists should work to dispute the biases, stereotypes, and prejudices about same-sex families in regard to parenting through providing accurate scientific information.
Position Statement on Reparative/Conversion Therapy
The Society for Humanistic Psychology (American Psychological Association, Division 32) opposes the practice of conversion or reparative therapy (also referred to as "counseling for unwanted same-sex attraction"), or any other psychotherapy approach that proactively seeks to change the sexual orientation of an individual. Such practices disregard the basic human dignity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals. Furthermore, any individuals seeking therapy to change one's sexual orientation should be adequately informed of the potential risks of such therapy. Any attempt to deny or minimize the psychological dangers of attempts to change one's sexual orientation is unethical and professionally irresponsible. Humanistic psychologists should seek to promote accurate information based on the scientific and clinical literature that addresses the psychological well-being of LGBT individuals as well as proactively address prejudicial and discriminatory practices impacting LGBT individuals.
Social Justice Position Statement: Call for SHP member comments
The Division 32 Executive Board has approved a draft of SHP's Social Justice Position Statement. Comments from the SHP membership will be considered before a final draft is written. All SHP members are invited to review the draft version (PDF, 159KB) and submit comments to Sarah Kamens.
The Society Position Statement on PENS Task Force
By: David Rennie, President, Society for Humanistic Psychology
The Society for Humanistic Psychology offers the following thoughts and proposals to the American Psychological Association's Presidential Task Force on Psychological Ethics and National Security:
The society proposes: (a) that all psychologists, including those working for the military and/or intelligence services, abide by the APA code of ethics; and also notes that (b) psychologists working for the military and/or intelligence services may be caught in a conflict between their professional ethics and practices demanded by their employers.
Accordingly, the society proposes (1) that the APA insist on legislation and other relevant action that would require psychologists, working for the military, intelligence services or associated agencies, whether in the interest or national security or not, to uphold the APA's ethical code; (2) that the legislation and other relevant action protect psychologists doing such work from being penalized by their employers for refusing to engage in practices that violate the ethical code; (3) that the employers be required to report to the APA psychologists in their employment who breech the ethical code; (4) that disciplinary action be applied as well to members who witness but fail to report other members having violated the ethical code; (5) that all such legislation and action be made known publicly; and (6) APA should make every effort to publicize this proactive stance and communicate this stance to its members.
Empiricially Supported Treatments: Recommended Principles and Practices
The following is an excerpt from the report of a Division Task Force, published in the Spring, 1997 issue (Vol. 25, No.1) of The Humanistic Psychologist. It represents the position of the society on the issue of "empirically supported treatments."
Humanistic psychologists form their own community of practice and hold their own distinctive views of human nature, of science, of research methodology, and of psychotherapy. Humanistic psychotherapy deals with psychological dysfunction in the broad context of clients' enagements in life and ways of being in the world. Humanistic psychologists are oriented towards promoting the psychological development and growth of individuals, families, and communities through the support of their own creative and self-initiated efforts. Humanistic practices are therefore holistic and are based in a view of the therapeutic process as a dialogical activity, which occurs through person-to-person conversations and through intersubjective symbolic activities. Therefore humanists reject the model of the practitioner as the expert who decides for the patient what the appropriate treatment is. Humanistic practitioners recognize that their job is to place their expertise at the service of their clients and to establish a collaborative dialogical relationship with them. The joint project of client and psychotherapist is to work towards individualized goals that are framed in the clients' world view and understandings of their own aspirations rather than on normative diagnostic categories. Humanists believe that the methods used in providing services must reflect the basic value of promoting the agency and empowerment of individuals and groups.
In these days of public accountability—a movement which humanistic psychologists who offer services to the public support—various groups are producing documents specifying guidelines for appropriate practice. Division 12 of the American Psychological Association has produced its criteria for deciding upon "empirically validated treatments," (recently rechristened "empirically supported treatments").
Humanistic psychologists are concerned about documents such as these because they privilege approaches that a) adopt a medical model view of psychological dysfunction and its remediation, b) are focused on symptom removal, and c) are technological in nature. Further, they are based on a particular model of science—a positivistic natural science method which many humanists view as more appropriate for examining the effects of drug treatment than for examining the complex inter-relationships that characterize humanistic (and many other) forms of psychotherapy. Humanists do not reject natural science research. However they do reject attempts to privilege such methods in the study of human behavior, and to set these methods up as the ultimate criteria for deciding upon the effectiveness of psychotherapy. Therefore humanists reject the idea that therapy must be studied as treatment-of-disorder, and that it must be manualized, the two central criteria of the "empirically supported treatments" guidelines of Division 12.
Humanistic psychologists do support the need for empirical research, and for the provision of services that have some evidence backing up their effectiveness. However, both natural and human science methods are of value and neither should be privileged over the other. Therefore, humanistic psychologists would be in favor of "empirically supported services," only with different criteria than those specified by Division 12. A Task Force of the society is engaged in an ongoing effort to specify such criteria.

Ho Ho Canada Deux hopes to provide an antidote to hearing the same old Christmas tunes year after year, while celebrating Canadian music, as TLOBF's Oh! Canada column does all year round. A mixture of new compositions, cover versions and traditional tunes, Ho Ho Ho Canada also includes 15 tracks that were recorded specially for The Line of Best Fit.
By Ro Cemm (The Line of Best Fit)
As the nights draw in and the temperatures drop, Oh! Canada has been looking back over 2010. We hope that through this years interviews, mixes and reviews we have introduced you to some of best new music Canada has to offer, and that we have helped you to discover some new favourites. We will be looking back on 2010 and looking forward to 2011 with a handful of Canadian artists and writers in the next few weeks, but in the meantime, to get you in the festive spirit we are proud to present Ho Ho Ho Canada Deux!
A follow up to last years Ho Ho Ho Canada, Ho Ho Canada Deux hopes to provide an antidote to hearing the same old Christmas tunes year after year. This year we put the call out early to some of our favourite artists to see if they wanted to be involved- and what a response we had- 30 tracks in all including 15 songs that have been specially recorded for us. The compilation includes new compositions, covers, traditional songs (including one in Norwegian), the occasional curse word (you have been warned), and sleigh bells and festive cheer aplenty. We'd like to thank all of the artists involved for their time and effort in putting this together-please be sure to click on their names to find out more about them and find out what they are up to in the next few months. The artwork was created by Jon Janes using an image of Clear Creek, Yukon by Michael Edwards.

Peninsula Grille offers Greek favorites, desserts
The former Peninsula Dinor on West 12th Street has a new name, a new menu and a new look.
The new owners, however, are hardly new to the neighborhood. For 10 years the Nacopoulos family has prepared authentic, homemade Greek food from their small eatery at Sixth Street and Peninsula Drive.
About a year ago, it was time to look for a larger location that could be open year-round, said Bill Nacopoulos, who owns the restaurant with his mother, Maria Nacopoulos, and cousin, George Nacopoulos.
They purchased the diner, gutted it, and spent nine months renovating. On Nov. 12, the Peninsula Grille opened a dining space that's clean, comfortable and casual.
My husband and I stopped for dinner and were pleased to see the menu offers all of the authentic Greek favorites from Peninsula Gateway -- gyros and Greek dogs, fries and burgers -- as well as new options.
My husband immediately homed in on the Greek entrees, like pastichio (Greek lasagna) and moussaka (a layered dish with eggplant, potato, ground beef and a creamy b�chamel sauce), which are prepared by Maria Nacopoulos, who was born in Greece. You'll also find a traditional lamb shank dinner made by George Nacopoulos available by special order.
We started with saganaki, a slightly salty Greek cheese that is breaded and pan fried, then served with fresh lemon and warm pita. The cheese is served warm, so the outside is crispy and the inside gooey. The pairing of cheese and lemon is delightful.
Our dinner salads were mounded with fresh, crisp leaf lettuce and topped with red onion, sliced cucumber, tomato and an outstanding homemade Greek dressing.
Doug's pastichio dinner did not disappoint. The large slice of Greek lasagna was rich, creamy and satisfying with just a hint of cinnamon.
My sausage skewers were outstanding -- moist, tender and filled with flavor. The pork sausages are made in-house from a family recipe, grilled and served on a bed of rice.
For dessert, we had homemade ekmek -- shredded phyllo with custard and whipped cream topped with almonds soaked in honey.

Good directions for installation, so this is not difficult for the average DIY person. I even had to trim mine a bit as the duct was close to the corner of the laundry room, and that modification was no problem. I also put caulk on the rear of the plate before screwing it in place to insure a good seal over the duct tabs. Recommend doing this install after removing the old vent(to ensure you have 1/2" of duct showing outside), but prior to putting the Ultra Seal vent in place because it will keep the duct secure while you're putting the new vent on.

If you're installing the vent for the first time, it would be easier. If you're reworking a present installation you may have difficulties because of the previous installation. Product works well.

Bilateral Telemanipulation: A Port-Hamiltonian Approach

A bilateral telemanipulation system consists of a robotic interface (master) through which an operator can drive a remote robot (slave) that can interact with a remote, possibly unknown, environment. In order to give the operator the feeling of actual operation, the interaction force affecting the slave is fed back to the master. The non negligible, possibly variable and unreliable, communication delay between master and slave sides and the interaction with unknown environments has a destabilizing effect on the overall system. In this talk, it is shown how to couple port-Hamiltonian modeling framework with passivity theory to get a telemanipulator characterized by an intrinsically stable behavior. Intrinsically passive controllers (IPC) are used to stabilize the interaction and scattering theory is exploited to achieve a passive, not destabilizing, communication in case of fixed delays. In order to take into account the sampled data nature of the controllers while preserving a stable interaction, a passivity preserving discretization algorithm is proposed. Furthermore, a packet switched scattering based communication strategy is defined to allow the use of Internet for the exchange of information between master and slave sides. It is shown that the proposed communication strategy is passive both in case of packet loss and of variable transmission delays. Finally a passivity preserving algorithm for rebuilding lost packets from received data is illustrated.

It's been Andy Smithmyer's lifetime goal to play professional baseball, and he's thankful that the Washington (Pa.) Wild Things are giving him a shot.
Smithmyer, 22, a 2009 graduate of Altoona Area High School who pitched collegiately for East Carolina University, signed a contract with the Wild Things, a suburban Pittsburgh independent team in the Frontier League, earlier this summer.
The right-hander has been working out of the bullpen for the Wild Things, appearing in seven games and pitching 5 innings so far this season with a 6.75 earned run average.

Andy Smithmyer, a 2009 Altoona Area High School graduate, is now pitching for the Wild Things.
"I think it's a good opportunity for me,'' Smithmyer said in a recent telephone interview. "Being close to home, my family has a good opportunity to come watch me pitch. This is a great opportunity to fulfill my dream of playing professional baseball.''
As a member of the Wild Things - whose roster this year also includes former Altoona Curve outfielder Quincy Lattimore - Smithmyer is paying his dues in the hopes of working his way up the professional baseball ladder.
The Wild Things aren't affiliated with a major league franchise, which is a situation that Smithmyer hopes to eventually become a part of.
"You have a lot of guys in this league who have been released from Class AAA and AA teams,'' Smithmyer said. "I pretty much compare it to playing in high Class A-level ball. It's definitely a high-level brand of professional baseball. There are a lot of veteran players in the league, and a rookie pitcher like me really has to pound the [strike] zone.''
While Major League Baseball players have the luxury of flying first-class to major metropolitan cities across the United States, players in the Frontier League must endure long bus rides to small towns like Joliet, Ill. and Evansville, Ind.
"The traveling definitely puts a toll on your body,'' Smithmyer said. "We had a doubleheader one day, then got on the bus for 10 hours to play the next day. You really have to concentrate and do well.''
After spending two years at Potomac State (W.Va.) Junior College, Smithmyer moved on to East Carolina's Division I baseball program in Greenville, N.C. In his first year at East Carolina, Smithmyer worked out of the bullpen and carded a 1.92 earned run average - among the top 20 in the nation - over 67 innings in 27 Conference USA appearances. He averaged over one strikeout per inning that year.
"I coached Andy for two great years,'' East Carolina University pitching coach Dan Roszel said. "He's a great kid. He's got a power fast ball with a little cut to it that reaches the low 90s, a good slider, and a developing change[-up]. He was our go-to guy out of our [bull]pen.
"I thought he'd have a chance to be drafted by a major league team, and I'm excited for him that he was picked up by the Wild Things,'' Roszel added. "Hopefully, he'll be noticed there by major league scouts and find his way into playing for a major league organization.''
Smithmyer pitched in the prestigious Cape Cod League last summer, but sustained an elbow injury in his senior year of college that set him back a bit.
"I didn't have my A-plus stuff then,'' he said. "I didn't have everything working until the end of my senior year.''
Now, hopefully, he does.
"I've always been a strikeout pitcher, who has been known to get in there and get that punchout when I've needed it,'' Smithmyer said. "Now, I have a chance to pitch well out of the [bull]pen, get my feet underneath me, and hopefully, move on to an affiliated professional team.''

To the Editor:
Pamela Geller attempts to change the subject when it comes to her own vitriolic rhetoric against Muslims (Letters, March 23). But let's be clear: Geller should not be allowed to get away with playing the victim and hiding behind the mask of a "patriot and proud Zionist." Geller's self-righteous campaign to show the world the "true face" of Islam is abhorrent and morally repugnant. Geller, in views she outlines in her blog, has linked Islam to bestiality and rape of minors, compared Muslims to Nazis and asserted that Islam inspired Hitler. The Anti-Defamation League has closely followed her anti-Muslim scapegoating and that of Stop Islamization of America, the organization she leads, and has posted additional examples of her comments on its website. Terrorism inspired by fundamentalist Islam is indeed a true threat to America, Israel and democracies around the world. But in directing her rhetoric at the entire Islamic faith � indeed, in supporting campaigns to suggest that Muslims should abandon their faith entirely � Geller fuels and fosters anti-Muslim bigotry in society.

The Soaps' Purest Pair Takes a Valentine's Vow
Played respectively by Laurence Lau, 29, and Kim Delaney, 21, Greg and Jenny may be even more frustrated than their fans. While others on the show believe chaste makes waste, "Greg and Jenny prove that there are values more important than physical lust," says Lau. Still, you can't have a wedding without a wedding night, and costume director Carol Luiken left few New York lingerie stores untouched in her hunt for the perfect nightgown. "This girl has been a virgin so long," says Luiken, "that I want it to be something people gasp at."
Gasp they may, but not on the set, where true love is all in a day's work. On the morning of Jenny's wedding the absent Delaney is having her brown hair highlighted at a Manhattan salon, while Lau sits still for a backstage trim. A cast bowling party the night before, however, is generating more hallway gossip than the impending nuptials. And in the studio, logistical glitches are still being tended to. "Hey, any way we can raise the cross?" yells a crew member, pointing to the four-by-six crucifix hanging behind the chapel's altar.
Later, during a break from rehearsal, Delaney discusses the long-awaited wedding-night showdown. Apparently Greg and Jenny will be making up for lost sack time. "If you have one bed scene in a script, it's usually a big deal," Delaney says. "But these two, every page." Says Babbin: "You'll see Greg and Jenny begin to make love in one show and finish making love in another"—a feat that may earn Greg a spot on That's Incredible!
Around 1:30 the cast returns from lunch. "I couldn't eat," Delaney reports. "It's like a real wedding." She disappears to begin hair and makeup preparations. Nearby lurks Natalie Ross, who plays Greg's widowed and much-hated mother, Enid; she has used everything but the A-Team to bust up her son's romance. In fact, Natalie is friendly, funny and a woman with soap opera needs of her own. "I want a man!" she exclaims. Actress Dorothy Lyman, who played Jenny's tacky mom, Opal, and left the show for an exclusive deal with NBC and Mama's Family, won't even be watching the wedding. "I had a great two years on that show, but I have absolutely no desire to tune it in," she says.
Shortly after 4 p.m., with silk lilies woven delicately into her hair, Delaney receives a behind-closed-doors dressing-down from producer Babbin, who is upset about Kim's primping. "Right now everybody starts screaming because time is money," explains Delaney. "Afterward, they always say 'Thank you.' " Still, she slips quickly into her $875 ivory silk, Victorian-style gown on loan from a Brooklyn wedding outfitter. Outside Lau is prowling the corridors. "Is it okay for the groom to see the bride?" he yells. "No," she yells back. A few minutes later Delaney sweeps toward the set. "Aw, you look beautiful," says a beaming Susan Lucci, who plays the normally less charitable Erica. After the oooohs and aaaahs subside, one of the cast sings Here Comes the Bride.
The Philadelphia-born, sometimes tart tongued Delaney is hardly as shy as her TV alter ego. The fast-talking daughter of a United Auto Workers official and a secretary, she planned to be a "court reporter, get married, have babies, the whole bit." After attending an all-girl Catholic high school, she modeled in Philadelphia before signing on with New York's Elite agency in 1980. By that time she was studying acting. In 1981 she won the part of Jenny over 50 others. She and Lau now appear as morning-after lovers in a Noxzema shaving-cream commercial. Offscreen she broke up last spring with longtime hometown honey Bobby McGowan and has no steady now. Kim shares an East Side apartment with her older brother John, a graduate student at New York University. "Right now," she says of her newfound fame, "I have no complaints."
Lau, too, is decidedly upbeat, even when confronted with his third set of wedding vows. Twice divorced, he refuses to kiss real-life marriage goodbye. "I certainly have the kinks worked out," he says. "I know what doesn't work." The second son of a writer turned financial consultant and real estate broker, Lau grew up outside Portland, Oreg. He moved to New York in 1971 to attend an experimental high school and later attended Columbia University and Brigham Young University, where he took up acting. While working at an all-night newsstand in L.A. in 1978, he was spotted by an agent and soon won parts on Happy Days and The Waltons. An alert ABC exec noticed him in a TV movie and flew him to New York to audition as Greg. Though he happily shares a Greenwich Village apartment with aspiring Broadway actress Dona Petrucci, he regards Delaney as somebody special. "She charms me to death," Lau says.
It's after 6:30 p.m. and the taping of the wedding scene is about to begin. "What are my first words?" asks the nervous preacher. "All stand up," someone reminds him. Delaney and Lau are smiling and cool, but after a grueling day the rest of the cast is edging toward mutiny. "Let's do this mother!" yells an impatient Susan Lucci in mock disgust. After a few minor snafus, Greg and Jenny, at long last, are man and wife. "Thank God," a jubilant Babbin proclaims in the control room. In soapland, of course, nobody lives happily ever after, but Greg and Jenny won't be suffering anytime soon. "We want them to stay happy for a while," says Babbin. "I've got six other story lines to deal with." It is another two hours before Lau and Delaney finally shed their wedding attire and bolt for the door—in opposite directions. Lau wants to catch a late showing of Ingmar Bergman's Fanny and Alexander. Delaney simply wants to get some sleep. This is TV, don't forget. Her wedding night is still three days away.

CTI PFAN Launches Initiative to Mobilize Private Sector Adaptation Finance
13 July 2012: The Private Financing Advisory Network (PFAN) of the Climate Technology Initiative (CTI) held an Africa Workshop for Adaptation Financing, which launched one of the first multilateral initiatives to engage private sector and commercial financing in adaptation activities.
During the pilot phase of the initiative, CTI PFAN envisages leveraging up to US22 million of private sector investment and financing for adaptation projects in Africa in key development sectors, including agriculture and agri-business, access to energy, water and sanitation, tourism and urban development. Specifically, the Initiative will identify, engage and mobilize private sector investments to assist in reducing climate vulnerability and improve the adaptive capacity of developing countries. The initiative, lauded for creating an innovative financing mechanisms, will help ensure the success of adaptation-related projects.
The workshop brought together over 80 delegates in Nairobi, Kenya, from 13-14 June 2012, to address aspects of adaption financing. They also discussed the structure and focus of new initiatives and maximizing project impacts, with five projects in Kenya, Mozambique and Uganda selected to be implemented during the pilot phase of the new initiative. Co-organizers of the event included the Greening of Kenya Initiative (GKI) of the Government of Kenya and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
PFAN is a multilateral, public-private partnership initiated by CTI in cooperation with the UNFCCC Expert Group on Technology Transfer. PFAN operates to bridge the gap between investments and clean energy businesses. [CTI PFAN Press Release]

text: Base Stealing 2014 Posted by Matt O'Donnell on Mar 23, 2014 23:06 ShareTweet I was about to write a piece about the Sox loss of base-stealing ability with the departure of Jacoby Ellsbury. However, it appears that Conor Duffy of Bosoxinjection.com beat me to it. I agree with Conor (who is young enough to be my grandson) that Shane Victorino and Dustin Pedroia will have to make up for Ellsbury. Whether they can do so I am not so sure. Statistically, Victorino has the best chance. In 10 years in the majors with 3 teams, the Flyin' Hawaiian has averaged 30 steals over 162 games with only 6 CS's. Four times he topped the 35 mark. His numbers last year might have been higher had it not been for Ellsbury's presence in the leadoff spot. A problem exists, however. Victorino had offseason thumb surgery and has played just 18 innings with a .167 average. Pedroia will probably stay in the 20-range. Duffy also mentions that Jackie Bradley Jr and Xander Bogearts have worked on base-stealing in the offseason, but their contribution will probably be limited. Conor points out that "speed is a more valuable asset than ever given the absence of it around the league". He mentions that sabermetrics had made teams less willing to make unnecessary outs on the basepaths. Given this situation, a man like Ellsbury, who can produce runs several times during a game, is hugely important. It is unlikely that the Sox would even have made it to the ALCS without him. The Townies' stolen base totals will definitely fall in 2014. So far this spring, they have only 9- the leader is Brock Holt with 3. But there is speed on the roster, and it needs to be utilized. Bunting and hit-and-run were not generally part of John Farrell's agenda in 13, but perhaps now is the time to try. For example, Grady Sizemore was a dangerous base-stealer before injuries slowed him. He most likely possesses smarts on the bases, however, and that could help, especially if his spring training OBP continues to be high. The days of the "station to station" Sox are over. Ellsbury, Johnny Damon, Coco Crisp and others showed how speed on the bases can make a difference. The challenge of Farrell and the Sox is to utilize it in 2014.

The joys of having a young gay boy and his feet in your possession are endless. Been thinking of a foot job? Or maybe you're dreaming of licking those young gay feet.
Massaging this boy's feet with oil, with lotion, rubbing his ankles and then traveling once again to the place of worship - feet and toes. His toes could use some manicuring, but that makes them hotter. He's a working boy.
Isn't it great when he's been working all day, painting houses, and sweating it up in his big ole socks and work boots? This is just a clear invitation for some boot licking, toe sucking, and foot massaging.
A gay boy twink is also often more appreciative of the worship and services of a man with a gay boy foot fetish than older, more jaded foot providers. Looking at the gay boy foot fetish galleries is never anywhere close to the live foot!
Sweaty, stinky feet are there to be pleasured and worshipped. The high arch, the rough, calloused soles - ah the sweet torture! The gay boy foot fetish sends visions of heavenly, sweaty feet into your mind. Rough to the touch, and smelly; this is a fantasy in the making!

The Stage Is His Usual Beat, but Robert Prosky Copped a Prime-Time Job as Hill Street's New Sarge
Indeed, as a crown prince of character actors, Prosky possesses a face you don't forget—and a name you do. The countenance has a panorama of experience on it, which appealed to Hill Street's creators. For Conrad's replacement, no rookie would do. Last season regulars Joe Spano and Betty Thomas were tried. "But what was missing was the quality of an older man who'd been around the track," says co-executive producer Greg Hoblit. "Michael had that, and Bob has that."
Playing another world-weary fellow secured Prosky his post on Hill Street. Last spring, as an over-the-hill real estate salesman in the drama Glengarry Glen Ross, Prosky impressed critics and drew a Tony nomination. That triggered Hill Street's interest. The creators of the series caught Prosky's performance on Broadway. "That just did it," says Hoblit. Conceived as Irish, the sergeant's nationality was changed to that of a Pole to accommodate Prosky.
Although a newcomer to TV, Prosky has been a legend among serious actors for years. In a business notorious for impermanence, he was parked for 23 years at the Arena Stage in Washington, D.C., where he performed about 130 roles. "Bob was sort of a phenomenon," recalls Hill Street's Bruce Weitz, who once played Happy to Prosky's Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman. "I mean, he was the burgomaster of Capitol Hill."
For Prosky stability was a mixed blessing. Although he was quite happy with all the plum parts, "the lack of wider recognition did bother me," he admits. For years he periodically auditioned in New York, but found it costly both in time and money. "Generally speaking, they might take a chance on a lovely young ingenue, but not on a character actor," he says. Then, in 1980, first-time director Michael Mann cast Prosky as an intimidating mobster opposite James Caan in Thief. Prosky suddenly found his star was born.
Moving from stage to films, he turned up in quick succession as gruff, gravel-voiced characters in Monsignore, The Lords of Discipline, Christine and The Natural. The steady work also meant that Prosky seldom saw Hill Street. In fact, after he was cast, he asked the producers to ship him 25 hours of Hill Street tapes.
Though movies appealed to Prosky, TV did not. He had turned down the role of Coach in Cheers. "I've frankly been resisting television," he says.' But he decided to sign a three-year contract for Hill Street. First, "the quality of Hill Street made it attractive," he says. Second, "I have three sons and a wife going to college."
Prosky is also cautious about one consequence of prime time: overeager fans. "I face that with some apprehension," he says. "I think my wife faces it with more." Prosky had a bout with the man on the street when Thief raw on TV while he was doing Glengarry. En route to the theater one night, he emerged from a subway station to confront a 42nd Street habitué who recognized him. "Hey man, you Thief, you Thief," said the fellow loudly. As the actor hurried away, the fan kept hollering. Says Prosky: "The one thing you don't want yelled at you on 42nd Street is Thief! Thief!' "
Acting wasn't always his ambition. The only child of a Philadelphia grocery owner and a housewife, Prosky earned a degree in economics at Temple Univeristy, then joined the Air Force just in time for the Korean war. When his father died, Prosky returned from the service to run the grocery. But after he won a scholarship to acting school in New York, he left his mother minding the store. In 1958, after several years doing off-Broadway shows, the then 28-year-old actor lugged three suitcases down to Washington for an intended eight-week stint at the Arena in The Front Page. Shortly after arriving he met Ida, a journalist (who is now an anthropology graduate student). They were married in 1960 and have three sons: Stefan, 23, John Patrick, 22, and Andrew, 19.
In Los Angeles Prosky is again living out of suitcases—and weathering a transcontinental marriage. Ida, 49, occupies their Capitol Hill town house, while Prosky has rented a small Studio City apartment. "There's no pool, but it does have a Jacuzzi spa in the back," says Prosky. "I've noticed that some interviewers who came here expected more." Prosky vows he will keep disappointing them. Although his income has shot up at least "tenfold" from the $700 a week he made at the Arena, Prosky insists that he's not the sort to take suddenly to wearing pinkie rings and driving a Rolls. "I am not living up to my income," he says proudly. "And I have no plans to."

Betterment Review [Reviewed 2010]
Betterment was named one of the Finovate Fall 2010 Best in Shows and they're looking to make investing as simple as possible. The basic idea is that you open an account at Betterment (they are a registered broker-dealer), deposit funds, pick an allocation, and then go about your day. They offer a taxable investment account (no IRA's yet) and two investing options.
With Betterment, you just pick how much of your investment you want in equities (Stock Market) and how much you want in Treasury bonds (TIPs). Within each category, they divide it up into a variety of ETFs so that you get diversification in that category. For Treasury bonds, you get iShares Barclasy TIPS Bond Fund (TIP). For the Stock Market, you get a mix of IWS, IWD, VTI, IVE, DIA and IWN.
If this sounds like a Lazy Portfolio, you're right.

Various Artists
There has never been a more giddy call to theater than "Comedy Tonight," the opening salvo of silliness and salaciousness that is Forum (Broadway Angel). And let us just say that Stephen Sondheim was in rare, uh, forum when he wrote the score for the 1962 show, his first shot at supplying the music as well as the lyrics. Those who say he isn't tuneful need only tune in to "Love, I Hear" and the gentle ballad "Lovely." Of course, it's a truth universally acknowledged that Sondheim has no peer when it comes to witty wordplay, but with all due respect to his later, more heralded shows, he's never been quite so deliciously, so unself-consciously sharp as in Forum. (Consider "Impossible," a duet by a father and son who each suspect they're after the same girl: "The situation's fraught/Fraughter than I thought.") Tony Award-winner Nathan Lane and Mark Linn-Baker are up against fans' memories of original-cast giants like Zero Mostel and Jack Gilford. Not to worry; the new guys are funny and fine.
If Forum represents Sondheim a good bit before he became—trumpets, please—SONDHEIM, State Fair (DRG) is Rodgers & Hammerstein after they had become musical theater force majeures. But the workmanlike score, commissioned for the 1945 movie of the same name, is second-tier R&H, save for the wistful ballad "It Might as Well Be Spring." The stage version has been enriched by songs from other, lesser known Rodgers & Hammerstein shows, notably the haunting "So Far," from Allegro, and Pipe Dream's "The Next Time It Happens," very effectively sung by Andrea McArdle. Hers, quite frankly, is the best voice on the midway.

Here is my problem I am surprised by the output of "sysServices"
For Cisco router sysServices = 78
How is the above value 78 is computed
For Linksys Layer 2 switch sysServices = 2
How is the above value 2 is computed
As per the equation stated in RFC the value should be (2^(1-1) +
2^(2-1) = 3
Am I correct?
Please help me to find an answer
A value which indicates the set of services that this
entity may potentially offer. The value is a sum.
This sum initially takes the value zero. Then, for
each layer, L, in the range 1 through 7, that this node
performs transactions for, 2 raised to (L - 1) is added
to the sum. For example, a node which performs only
routing functions would have a value of 4 (2^(3-1)).
In contrast, a node which is a host offering application
services would have a value of 72 (2^(4-1) + 2^(7-1)).
Note that in the context of the Internet suite of
protocols, values should be calculated accordingly:
layer functionality
1 physical (e.g., repeaters)
2 datalink/subnetwork (e.g., bridges)
3 internet (e.g., supports the IP)
4 end-to-end (e.g., supports the TCP)
7 applications (e.g., supports the SMTP)
For systems including OSI protocols, layers 5 and 6
may also be counted.
