Hell of a night for homages to "The Wire." First, Dwight on "The Office" talks about juking the stats, and then "Life on Mars" features three different "Wire" alums -- Chad Coleman (Cutty), Chris Bauer (Frank Sobotka) and Clarke Peters (Cool Lester Smooth) -- in guest roles. Now, Peters was already in the show's premiere episode, and you see a lot of "Wire" actors turn up on shows shot in New York because they're East Coast-based, but I'm thinking the producers are fans to put three in one episode.
Unfortunately, the guest cast (which also featured Edi Gathegi, aka Big Love from "House," as a younger version of Peters' character, plus Whoopi Goldberg) was more interesting than the episode itself. My interest in the remake is fading even more rapidly than my interest in the original. They've already softened Gene Hunt far too much (and, yes, I say that about an episode where he was prepared to execute a murder suspect without trial or any real evidence), the cases don't interest me, and I don't think I'm going to really care about the clues about where/when Sam really is until we get to an actual finale. (Based on the ratings, that should be sometime this season.) The "Ice Ice Baby" gag was amusing in the same way that sort of joke usually works in any time travel story (see also Marty McFly inventing both the skateboard and rock music), but overall, the show's pretty flat.
(Also, I was waiting for the inevitable moment where Gathegi's character raised an eyebrow at Sam telling a story about a black NYPD detective he met when he was 17 years old, which would have been the 1950s. Was the NYPD progressive enough to have black detectives back then?)
I actually watched a screener of next week's "ER" with the resurrection of Mark Greene earlier yesterday, so it felt a little like watching "Memento" to then see this episode, which sets up stuff the characters will be talking about next week, like Gates and Sam moving in together, or Gates' homeless veteran patient.
Even had I watched them in the proper order, I suspect I would have found this one to be a pretty blah episode, even by later-period standards. I'm not sure exactly what they're doing with the new interns; isn't Shiri Appleby dating (or maybe even married to) the young surgeon, and, if so, why is she drooling all over Gates? (I mean, Stamos is handsome, but he's also got 15 years on her.) Also, casting Carl Weather as the father of a boxer is one of those ideas that probably sounded great on paper but inadvertently turned that entire story into a big meta joke. (The only way it would have been weirder was if they had mixed in some "Arrested Development" cheapskate jokes about Weathers.)
Matt at Throwing Things recently argued that "Private Practice" has been this year's most improved show so far. I can see that, in that it's gone from teeth-grindingly awful to mediocrity, which is probably a bigger leap than the good-to-wonderful one "Chuck" has taken, but the show is still, at best, something I have on while doing three other things. Glad as I am to see Addison behaving like Addison again, and to see more of a focus on the cases and the ethical problems contained therein, I still don't feel attached to any of the other characters. And even when a case involves life or death, as it did this week with the terminally ill teen who desperately wanted a baby, the setting somehow makes the stakes feel much lower. I can't explain exactly why, but put that exact same storyline into a hospital show and it would have felt a lot more powerful, I think.
Finally, it's a shame nobody's watching "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" -- and that even fewer will be watching once the show moves to Fridays -- because they're really on a roll of late. Other than the subplot with Derek and his time-traveling girlfriend, where I constantly feel like they're leaving all the exposition on the cutting room floor (how does she know Derek's fence, for instance?), every storyline was clicking this week. Stupid as it is for John to not tell his mom about Cromartie visiting the house, or about Cameron going walkabout a few episodes back, his desire to have something resembling a normal life -- with a normal girlfriend who did a much better job dealing with Cromartie than any other person to date -- is understandable and a good idea for the show to explore. (When John was whining to Sarah about her not protecting him from killing Sarkisian, she really should have told him that he needs to get ready to kill a whole lot of people and things.) And Ellison's ongoing crisis of faith in the wake of learning that SkyNet is real has been very well-done. I'm still not sure exactly how much, if anything, he suspects about Shirley Manson, and I'm taking a wait-and-see approach on this apparent SkyNet civil war plotline they've been setting up, but this season has been really engaging so far.
What did everybody else think?

Have you ever played an Indie game?
They're often worked on by a small team but more often than not a single person. Their budget is limited if not non-existent. Most of all, they offer something different from the mainstream of gaming. Indie Devs often have to experiment more in order to get noticed. Well in light of this and the release of umpteenth Indie Bundle for charity collection, I decided to pick up the 99% Bundle. A collaboration of thirteen Indie Developers.
First of all, the majority of the 99% Bundle I found unplayable and just not very fun. Perhaps I don't have the right mindset to play some of these games. I found them to be just slapped together and seemingly lazy. I'm not here to bash some indie developers so I won't go any further. I'm in fact here to praise two games for their change of pace and level of polish that was missing from the remaining bundle. Prior and Lone Boss and Cub both provided two very different types of game play.
Lone Boss and Cub was created by Laurent Goethals using RPG maker and all within four days. A quick and fun romp wherein you control a giant dungeon boss protecting your egg from adventurous heroes. Your arsenal consists of making fire sprout from the ground, raising a wall of electricity and summoning two types of enemy types to take out your enemies (the good guys). Your stationary the entire game and must use a small bit of logic to know when to launch certain attack as they are all set to a timer. The game is broken into 20 days that last between 30 to 90 seconds, with extra harder difficulties post game ending. A neat fun little game that is great if you want to kill 15 minutes out of your day.
Prior created by Krang Games is a change of pace. It's has a hyper minimalist design with a haunting atmosphere. You're a square that awakens in a facility. You learn the platforming basics – wall slides, gravity jumps and double jumps. The story is told in notes you find on the floor. On return playthroughs I found there to be three different endings. All varying degrees of depressing but well crafted endings. Prior's biggest strength is that it is easy to pick up play and has a great ambient atmosphere. I was able to play and get all three endings within 9 minutes and it was most assuredly worth it.

This toolkit will activate your Office 2010 both retail version downloaded from MSDN also Trial Office,and a lot more..
Screen Shot:
Office 2010 Toolkit Information:
This is a set of tools and functions for managing licensing and activating Office 2010. All information from using these functions is displayed in the Information Console. All functions are run in the background and the GUI is disabled to prevent running multiple functions, as this could conflict or damage Office 2010. For information about individual functions, read further below.
Office 2010 Toolkit Functions:
Main Tab:
EZ-Activator: This is a universal and simple activator for Office 2010. It can use KMS activation even if you are using Retail Office. EZ-Activator gathers information about your Office 2010 licensing status to provide the best method of activation. If you are using activated Retail or MAK Product Key, it will keep this Product Key and license as this activation is good forever unlike KMS which is for 180 days. Otherwise the MAK/Retail Product Keys will be uninstalled and replaced with KMS Product Keys, and Retail Office 2010 will be converted to Volume Edition. The EZ-Activator will then install AutoKMS and attempt to activate Office 2010 using the KMS Keygen.
Office 2010 Information: This displays if Office 2010 is installed on your PC and whether it is 32 bit (x86), 64 bit (x64) or 32 bit running on 64 bit OS (WOW).
Activation Tools Tab:
Office 2010 AutoKMS: AutoKMS is a scheduled task that will reset your 180 day KMS activation. Unlike other KMS activators, AutoKMS does not run 24/7 or only at the last minute with the hope it won't fail, and leaves no traces of itself other than a Scheduled Task and EXE file. It will run at boot and attempt KMS activation up to 25 times. It should not take that many times unless something is wrong, so it will warn you in that case. The Install/Uninstall buttons are used to install or remove AutoKMS from your PC.
Attempt Office 2010 Activation: This will attempt to activate any and all Office 2010 products. The KMS Keygen will be run to activate KMS licenses, and online activation will be attempted for MAK and Retail keys.
Check Office 2010 Activation Status: This will display detailed information on Office 2010 activation including how many days you are licensed for, what Product Key and type of license you are using, and much more.
Rearm Office 2010: This resets the 30 day grace period that all Office 2010 products have. Rearm can be done up to 5 times.
License Management Tab:
Add License: This will add the ability to use a license Product Key for a certain Office 2010 product. You do not need that Office 2010 Product installed.
It will install a hardcoded Product Key if available, else you will have to install your own Product Key. All The Provided Retail Keys are trials or blacklisted but can be rearmed for temporary use.
EX: This can be used to use Professional Plus license on Standard.
This also lets you convert from Retail to VL. Set License Type To Volume and select the Office 2010 Product you want to convert to VL, then press Add.
NOTE: There are no VL versions of Home and Business, Home and Student, and Professional so convert them to Professional Plus.
Delete All: This deletes all licensing information for Office 2010. This is meant to be used if your license details are corrupted marked as tampered. This will force Office 2010 to repair itself and it will be in either Notifications Mode (VL) or Reduced-Functionality Mode (Retail). You will probably not be able to rearm to get out. You will have to activate which may fail with KMS Keygen. This is an absolute last resort and should be used sparingly.
NOTE: When Office 2010 repairs itself, it restores licenses for what you have physically installed, any licenses Added Converted using License Add or EZ-Activator will not be restored.
Key Management Tab:
Add: This will install an Office 2010 Product Key, using either a hardcoded Product Key based upon your selection or a custom key that you enter. A Product Key cannot be installed unless you have that Office 2010 license installed.
Remove: This will remove an Office 2010 Product Key, using either a hardcoded Product Key based upon your selection or a custom Product Key that you enter.
Check: This will give information on an Office 2010 Product Key, using either a hardcoded Product Key based upon your selection or a custom Product Key that you enter. This information is what you would get from a PIDX checker.
License Backup Tab:
Backup: This saves your Office 2010 licensing information so it can be restored later. This information is machine and install specific, so it probably won\'t work after a reformat and definitely won't work on different hardware. It saves the current state but does not stop the clock, so a 25 day old backup restored will be whatever days you had minus 25 when you took the backup. Backups are stored in subdirectories in a \"Backups\" folder that will be created in the same directory as the Office 2010 Toolkit executable using the name you entered.
Full Restore: Restores all of the information saved in a previous backup. It will take a temporary backup of your current state, delete your current state, then restore the backup. If it fails to restore it will try to restore the temporary backup.
Tokens Only Restore: This is the same as Full Restore except it doesn't touch the current registry. This is probably not enough to restore activation so if it fails try the Full Restore.
NOTE: BETA 4 Has changed drastically. The most important things for you to keep in mind are:
1. Toolkit Now Has A Settings Menu which let you change toolkit behavior.
2. *License Delete All and EZ-Activator Automatically repair office so you no longer have to delete, open office several times and wait for it to repair.
3. *EZ-Activator will attempt all known fixes in case of failure. This includes Rearn, License Reinstall, and License Delete All-> Repair
4. **This contains a tool called "AutoRearm", which is supposed to allow you to run in 30 day grace, rearm, and when you are out of rearms, reset the count.
*=Default Behavior
**=Tool should be tested. Also, people with retail office may experience a nag on startup while on rearm mode. You can fix this by converting to VL with License Add for the equivalent Retail2VL product (HomeBusiness, and HomeStudent, and Professional Plus should use Pro Plus as there are no VL versions.) This is because MS programmed Retail to nag in grace mode, and lose features in Notifications Mode, but not VL.
Since i am an indian i don't know vietnamese language well,this is my first thread!!!

Telecom Act rewrite would bring changes to local franchising
Jim Fahey
Director of Government Affairs
APWA Washington Office
For more than a year, passing a rewrite of the landmark 1996 Telecommunications Act has been a big priority for many lawmakers in Congress, especially for Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) and Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX). Stevens is chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. Barton (R-TX) is chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Both men are lead sponsors of two separate bills which aim to update the nation's telecommunications laws to address everything from video over Internet service to shoring up the Universal Service Fund.
Barton's bill, known as the Communications, Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement Act of 2006, COPE (HR 5252), would allow telecommunications companies to obtain a national franchise to provide video services. Local government organizations and APWA oppose the legislation because it would strip local governments of their longstanding authority to franchise the use of their rights-of-way for video/cable services and would give that authority to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in Washington, D.C., including arbitrating rights-of-way disputes. The bill, which first emerged as draft legislation last fall, was passed by the full House of Representatives on June 8 by a vote of 321-101.
Stevens' bill, the Communications, Consumer's Choice and Broadband Deployment Act of 2006 (also HR 5252), is broader than Barton's bill. Like Barton's bill, it includes changes to the video franchising process but also includes measures to strengthen the Universal Service Fund, which helps underwrite phone service in low-income, rural, insular and high-cost areas. Unlike Barton's bill, however, Stevens' bill would not nationalize the video franchising process but would retain the basic local franchising framework and require localities to act within certain timeframes.
Stevens' bill was approved by the Senate Commerce Committee on June 28 but did not reach the Senate floor before the August Congressional Recess. It was subject to several revisions before the committee considered the bill, some of them prompted by local government concerns, especially with regard to franchising provisions.
The revisions resulted in several important improvements, including: preserving local control and authority to manage public rights-of-way; ensuring that the courts, rather than the FCC, have the jurisdiction over rights-of-way disputes; and clarifying the timeframe from 75 days to 90 days for action on video franchises by local governments.
Still, significant concerns remain and state and local government organizations oppose the legislation. Local governments are particularly concerned with tax-related provisions which were added to the bill during Committee debate. As amended, Stevens' bill would extend indefinitely the Internet Tax Freedom Act, which prohibits local governments from levying taxes or fees on Internet access, and it would place a moratorium on all new cell phone-specific taxes.
Stevens' bill awaits action by the full Senate but is not expected to be considered until September at the earliest. Controversial issues leave the bill's future unclear as Senate leadership insists that the bill must have the 60 votes needed to avoid a filibuster, a vote count the bill lacked before Congress recessed in August.
Battles in the Senate over "net-neutrality" (the issue of how Internet traffic is managed), the Universal Service Fund, the absence of build-out provisions to ensure broad access to video services and tax issues could prevent the bill from attaining a filibuster-proof vote.
Given the complexity of the issues involved, the workload facing Congress when it returns from the August Recess and the compressed legislative calendar of an election year, the outlook for enactment of legislation remains uncertain. If Stevens' bill is able to pass the Senate, both his and Barton's bill would still have to clear what could be a difficult conference to resolve the many differences between them. Barton's narrower bill does not contain companion language on many issues in Stevens' bill.
Barton indicated before the August Recess that he expected Congress to pass a bill, albeit a bill narrower than the Senate bill. He also conceded that the outlook was far from clear and that it might take the anticipated lame-duck session to get it done.
Preserving local control is one of APWA's top advocacy priorities, and as Congress considers this rewrite, APWA's message to policy-makers has been clear: decisions regarding management and control of local public rights-of-way belong to local governments. APWA will continue to deliver that message through every stage of the legislative process.

Snedeker Won't Play in Match Play Championship
Brandt Snedeker has withdrawn from the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, citing soreness in his ribs. The 32-year-old Nashville native would have been one of the four top seeds in the $8.75 million event, which starts February 20 at the Golf Club at Dove Mountain near Tucson.
Coming off a win in last week's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, Snedeker, the reigning FedEx Cup champion, has forged a sizable lead in the 2013 FedEx Cup points' standings and jumped from sixth to fourth in the world golf ranking off his victory at Pebble Beach. His official earnings of $2,859,920 are nearly $1.7 million more than second-place Phil Mickelson.
According to his management company, Crown Sports, Snedeker has been experiencing rib soreness since the Humana Challenge in mid-January. After getting treatment by his personal trainer, Randy Myers, Snedeker got rolling in the next two tournaments, both second-place finishes in the Farmers Insurance Open and Waste Management Phoenix Open, before closing with a 7-under 65 Sunday at Pebble Beach Golf Links to win the AT&T by two strokes.
After shooting a 66 in the AT&T's first round on the par-70 Shore course at Monterey Peninsula Country Club, Snedeker told PGA Tour media officials the rib soreness returned and he received more treatment.
After accepting the winner's check for $1.152 million on Sunday, he made no mention in his post-round interview about the ribs, but noted he was "exhausted" and planned to travel to Hawaii with his family and not play in this week's Northern Trust Open in Southern California.
It's uncertain when Snedeker will return to action. This is the second straight year when he had to back off his tournament schedule due to injury. Last May he pulled out of the Memorial due to a hip problem, and took four weeks off before returning to competition.
Mickelson has already withdrawn from the Match Play Championship - open to the top-64 players in the world - and was replaced by No. 65 Shane Lowry. No. 66 Fredrick Jacobson will take Snedeker's place in the first World Golf Championships event of the year.
Mickelson withdrew because his kids are out of school next week and he'll be going on a family vacation.

CHS and HMA agree to merger
Moody's has placed CHS on review for a downgrade
Last week Community Health Systems, Inc. (CHS) announced it will be acquiring Health Management Associates (HMA) for approximately $7.6 billion, including HMA's debt of $3.7 billion.
Once completed, CHS will own and operate approximately 206 hospitals in 29 states with a total bed count of over 31,000.
[See also: Community Health Systems acquires northeast Pennsylvania health system]
"This is the second biggest hospital deal announced this summer," said antitrust lawyer George Paul of White & Case Antitrust in a written statement about the acquisition. Paul advises healthcare companies. "This deal is part of a growing wave of hospital consolidation, as hospitals seek ways to diversify and lower costs in anticipation of a sea change occurring in the healthcare industry with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, uncertainty over how states will handle Medicaid coverage and reimbursement, and Medicare changes."
According to a CHS press release, under the terms of the agreement, CHS will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of HMA for a combination of cash and CHS stock currently valued at $13.78 per HMA share, based on CHS' closing stock price as of July 29, 2013, and consisting of $10.50 per share in cash plus 0.06942 of a share of CHS common stock for each HMA share. HMA shareholders will own approximately 16 percent of the shares of the combined company following the close of the transaction.
Additionally, HMA shareholders would also receive one Contingent Value Right (CVR) for each HMA share they own, which could yield additional cash consideration of up to $1.00 per share.
The merger agreement was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of CHS, and HMA's Board of Directors also unanimously approved the agreement and recommends that its stockholders approve the merger.
[See also: HMA acquires controlling interest in three Florida hospitals]
"This compelling transaction provides a strategic opportunity to form a larger company with a diverse portfolio of hospitals that is well positioned to realize the benefits of health care reform and to address the changing dynamics of our industry," said Wayne T. Smith, chairman, president and CEO of CHS, in a press release.
The transaction is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2014 and is subject to approval from stockholders and legal regulations, however it is not subject to a financing condition.
Following the announcement of the acquisition, Moody's Investors Service placed the ratings of CHS under review for downgrade.
"Community's acquisition of HMA will add scale and strengthen its position in certain geographies while maintaining the company's focus on its core model of operating hospitals in non-urban and mid-sized markets," said Dean Diaz, a senior vice president at Moody's, in a written statement. "However, leverage will increase and both companies remain subject to the risks associated with ongoing regulatory investigations, a portion of which will be provided for as part of the acquisition agreement."

The New School confers degrees twice a year, in January and May. The commencement ceremony for both May and January graduates is held in May. All degree requirements specified in the NSSR catalog (including the internship for clinical psychology students) must be completed before the graduation date in order for a degree to be conferred.
Students intending to graduate must petition online at my.newschool.edu or file a graduation petition form (see link on the right) with the Registrar's Office by the registrar's deadline. You must submit the petition even if you do not plan to attend a graduation ceremony. Visit the registrar's graduation page for more information, including deadline dates for petitions.
PhD students who are ready to defend their dissertations should speak with their department advisers for policies, procedures, deadlines, and guidelines. Completed dissertations must be submitted electronically.
PhD candidates are required to select a fourth member of their dissertation committee from outside their departments and discipline. The external member may come from NSSR, The New School, the Inter-University Doctoral Consortium, another accredited U.S. university, or an international university. Students will be encouraged to develop working relations with a faculty member outside of their department as they complete their course requirements and constitute their committee. The external member will join the dissertation proposal defense (in departments with this requirement) and remain an active part of the committee through to the final defense.
Students will be able to opt out of this requirement provided that when forming their committee (and prior to their proposal defense), they receive written permission from their dissertation chair and the associate dean for Faculty Affairs and Curriculum. Students who do not choose an external dissertation committee member will be assigned an NSSR "Dean's Representative," who will read their dissertation manuscript prior to the defense and take part in the dissertation final defense only.
Doctoral candidates who have questions about finalizing their dissertations can contact the following staff members:
Dean's Representative: PhD students will need a faculty member from outside the student's own department to serve as a dean's rep as a part of his or her dissertation defense (not required for proposals). To request one, please contact Ellen Freeberg (email@example.com); please also fill out this form. For general questions and university reader/style/format guidelines, please see the link on the right; contact Tsuya Yee (email@example.com) with specific questions.

Step by Step Planning Guide for Student Events
(Faculty and staff should check with the Office of Event and Conference Services)
STEP 1: Consider Your Budget
Do you know how much to estimate for each aspect of your event?
If you are unsure, meet with staff at the Student Activities Office in the Stephen Robert '62 Campus Center for help estimating the costs for your event.
You may also find this Event Budget Worksheet helpful in planning your event.
STEP 2: Choose Your Date(s) Carefully
Do your dates conflict with a major University event such as Family Weekend or Commencement, for example?
Have you checked the Academic Calendar?

I make my turkey meatza for dinner tonight and a friend didn't even notice it wasn't a traditional dough crust...
Grabbing life by the kettlebells...: Turkey meatza..
Here's my recipe for Meatzza....Meatzza | PRIMAL JOYPRIMAL JOY

I make my turkey meatza for dinner tonight and a friend didn't even notice it wasn't a traditional dough crust...
Grabbing life by the kettlebells...: Turkey meatza..
Hi...thought I'd put my 2 cents in....I've made a low carb pizza for years that you might like....for the crust I dice up cauliflower, cook in a little water until soft, drain, and mash it with a potato masher, add an egg and some grated Monterey jack cheese, and some shredded zucchini, add some dried herbs like basil and oregano. Press it into a pizza pan and bake for about 20 minutes at 350 or until your crust is firm and a little crispy...if you get your ratios right and experiment a little you can get the crust where it is firm enough to hold a piece of pizza in your hand. For the topping I make either an alfredo sauce with heavy whipping cream, minced garlic and powdered parmesan cheese or I do a marinara sauce with garden tomatoes, dried herbs like again oregano and dried basil, a little garlic. Toppings are endless but I use onions, mushrooms, spinach leaves, chopped artichoke hearts and chicken for the alfredo/garlic pizza and the same veggies but a good nitrite free sausage with the marinara pizza...After putting your toppings on your crust with a little more shredded Monterey jack or Mottzarella (sp?) on top bake it at 350 for about 30 minutes or until it looks done and golden on the bottom. I just kind of throw this stuff together when I cook so I don't have exact measurements but this is our alternative to regular pizza and it always hits the mark!

i saw on pinterest that we can make a cauliflower crust, but i did not try yet
it looks nice but ... well, this is cauliflower !
Grated zucchini + 1 egg + potato starch works well, but it definitely isn't real pizza. I like it for what it is, though.
Don't put your trust in anyone on this forum, including me. You are the key to your own success.
When I want pizza with a crust (because usually I just throw pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings into a bowl and eat it like that) I use these two recipes. The first is made with green plantains. When I use it for pizza I just make sure I bake it thin. Passionate Paleo: Plantain Bread !
The second is made with cheese and arrowroot flour. When making this one for pizza I double the amount of arrowroot and it makes it a bit more stiff so it can be picked up easier. Flourless Cheesy Bread Recipe | The Nourished Life
This may be a viable option for non-celiacs if you're willing to maintain your own sourdough starter and make your crust at least a day ahead of time to ferment:
Arrowhead Mills Organic Sprouted Wheat Flour, 28 Ounce Bag (Pack of 6): Amazon.com: Grocery & Gourmet Food
This will actually produce REAL pizza crust, something that no other recipe will do well. Obviously, it ain't perfect, but you can make a traditional pizza be as healthful as possible.
Don't put your trust in anyone on this forum, including me. You are the key to your own success.
Here's what I've been doing lately for pizza. I developed it based on the cracker recipe from primal cravings.
1 cup tapioca flour
1/4 potato starch
1/4 cup potato flour or instant mashed potato (dehydrated potato only)
1 egg
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup water
Preheat oven to 400.
Combine all dry ingredients and wet ingredients in two separate bowls.
Pour wet ingredients into dry stirring until mixed, then knead a few times.
On a sheet of parchment paper, lay out the dough and flatten with a rolling pin. If the dough is too wet or sticky, or if a very thin crust is desired, I cover the dough with plastic wrap during this step.
Bake the pizza on the parchment paper directly on the oven rack for about 6 min.
Remove pizza, put toppings, bake another 6 min.
This recipe manages to avoid nut flours but probably isn't ideal because of the added olive oil. But it tastes great!
Tara Grant's recipe makes terrific pizza crust. I have only made the paleo version and it works great. I have served it to non-primal folk and they didn't even know it did not contain grains.
tara grant | www.primalgirl.com
It is well worth the $4. And no, I don't get a kickback or have any connection whatsoever.

Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Sodium bisulfite can deaminate or convert cytosine in DNA into uracil, but does not affect 5-methylcytosine. Bisulfite treatment of DNA is a prerequisite for DNA-methylation analysis for many epigenetics-based studies involving methylation profiling and the quantification of methylation status.
However, analytical procedures involving bisulfite-treated DNA are subject to variability due to DNA degradation, incomplete conversion, and low yields of DNA.
A team of scientists from Zymo Research investigated the procedure of bisulfite treatment of DNA paying particular attention to the chemistries involved in the process and to conversion rates to limit variability between samples and improve upon conventional methods.
They report that conventional bisulfite DNA conversion chemistries could be improved without the levels of DNA degradation typically resulting from incubation of reaction mixtures at high temperature and nonphysiological pH. Essential to this process was prohibiting the overconversion of 5-methylcytosine into uracil that can occur in some situations and reaction conditions.
The researchers found that the bisulfite conversion process could be simplified and the variability between treatments kept to a minimum by coupling heat denaturation with the conversion process and by using in-column desulphonation to clean and purify the converted DNA. This new method was found to yield an average of >80% recovery of input DNA with >99% cytosine to uracil conversion.
The method has been specifically designed to accommodate (in addition to purified DNA) biological fluids, cells, or tissue directly as the input material. This makes its application for FFPE and LCM-derived samples particularly well suited, according to the Zymo Research investigators.
In an application note ("Perfecting Bisulfite Treatment for DNA Methylation Detection"), the scientists described the use of the EZ DNA Methylation-Direct™ kit for the recovery of bisulfite-treated DNA from a range of sample inputs. They noted that the kit and associated reagents were designed to achieve data consistency and mitigate the loss of DNA. According to the team, the technologies involved in the kit ensure consistent recovery of input DNA from as few as 10 cells or as little as ~50 pg DNA.
"This is facilitated through the fine-tuning of bisulfite conversion chemistries that enable the reaction to proceed to near completion, that is, 99.8% conversion of nonmethylated cytosine, while maintaining the integrity of methylated cytosine during the process," says Marc Van Eden, Ph.D., vp business development and marketing, and a co-author of the application note.
Dr. Van Eden maintains that the key to the high recovery of converted DNA is the advanced column/plate design featured in the company's kit.
"The Fast-Spin columns and plates ensure rapid desulphonation as well as high recovery of converted DNA. Elution of buffers from the column/plate matrices is complete, negating buffer carryover," continues Dr. Van Eden. "Thus, eluted, bisulfite-converted DNA is pure and ready for analysis. Further, the columns allow DNA to be eluted in ultrasmall volumes (≥6 µL) for highly concentrated DNA if required."

Creating a handle for an object? How?
Hi guys
I have these function definitions and I'm supposed to write the functions. I have trouble understanding a part of it. I will explain.
I am planning on creating a class and in the implementation of the create function, I will set a variable to current time (using gettickcount () ) and set the expiry variable to what's passed in. In the isExpired function, I will compare the values against current time (again using gettickcount () ) and determine if timer is expired or not.
But I don't know how to create a handle for each timer the way the function definitions require me to. Any ideas?
Thank you
Re: Creating a handle for an object? How?
Not enough info. What OS? Are the timers implemented by the OS or have ou implemented them?
A handle is just something the computer uses to be able to identify an object. It could be a pointer, or it could just be a number that indexes into a pointer or object table. For example:
1 "hello"
2 "world"
3 "foo"
4 "bar"
1-4 could be considered "handles" in this respect. The exact meaning of handle in your situation will depend on the situation, for example if these are Windows handles as implemented by the WinAPI, then the HANDLEs returned by CreateTimer() et al would count as valid handles that could be returned by your functions, unless for any reason you wanted to obfuscate the actual Windows HANDLE values themselves, in which case you'd want to create a lookup table so that your program could deduce the Windows HANDLE from the handle passed in, e.g.
1 Windows-HANDLE-1
2 Windows-HANDLE-2
3 Windows-HANDLE-3
then your program would get a Windows HANDLE and bung it in this table, return as a handle the lookup value, then on each entry to your library you would take the given handle (1-3) and lookup the actual Windows HANDLE which you would then use to call the Windows function.
Bit rambly but I hope that's clear ;-)

College and high school students seeking help in filling out their financial aid forms will be able to receive professional assistance at College Goal Sunday at The University of Texas-Pan American.
UTPA's College Access and Support Programs (CASP) is coordinating the event and both financial aid and admissions staff will be there to help students with filling out the FAFSA. CASP is also partnering with staff from the College of Business Administration and representatives from the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) who will provide free tax assistance and preparation, said Barbara J. Garza, associate director of CASP Community Outreach.
"With the help of College Goal Sunday, college can be affordable for everyone," Garza said. "It's open to anyone in the community who needs that assistance in getting their financial aid done and taken care of."
FAFSA is used to determine students' eligibility for federal and state financial aid programs such as grants, loans and work study opportunities.
For students who don't qualify for FAFSA, the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) will be available for them.
"There tends to be a bit of confusion with the TASFA application so unfortunately parents don't feel very comfortable getting that done," Garza said. "Now they'll have someone sit down with them and assist them with their TASFA state financial aid."
Aside from the assistance with financial aid, three lucky participants will be eligible to win a $100 UTPA scholarship through a raffle. The scholarship is only eligible to current students or students planning to attend the University, Garza said.
"This is their opportunity to get a quick $100 scholarship just for coming in to our institution and getting help with financial aid," Garza said.
To get the most out of their two hours at College Goal Sunday, students should bring their and their parents' 2012 tax information, such as W2's, 1040 forms and any other tax return information. Students should also bring with them a valid identification card, such as a high school ID or driver's license, and their Social Security card.
Refreshments and snacks will be provided, as well as free day care where little ones can participate in creating craft projects and watch movies.
For more information, contact Garza at (956) 665-7597.

Michigan Journal of Gender & Law, Vol. 7, p. 179, 2001
The First Circuit reversed the district court's order dismissing Lucas Rosa's claim against Park West Bank. The appeals court's reversal seems to be part of an emerging nationwide rejection of cases from the 1970s and 1980s. In these cases courts summarily dismissed sex discrimination claims brought by transgender plaintiffs, no matter how squarely the facts appeared to present a clear-cut case of discrimination based on sex. This created that appeared to be a "transgender" exception to sex discrimination law. Earlier courts ignored what the First Circuit recognized here-that a bank officer who tells an applicant to go home, change, and return presenting a more masculine appearance may very well have engaged in sex discrimination, even where the applicant may fairly be characterized as transgender or "cross-dressing."

FLINT, MI -- Flint firefighters have made peace with the city by approving a new concessionary contract but their union president is declaring war on the emergency manager law that he says allowed for it.
Trent Farnsworth, president of Flint Firefighters Local 352, said 69 firefighters voted for the deal, which includes a 20 percent cut in overall compensation, while 21 voted against it.
"If (emergency manager Michael) Brown really wants to be productive, he should examine" how to transition the city to a city manager form of government, he said. "I'm a firm believer that the strong mayor form of government is archaic."
The Flint Journal could not immediately reach a representative of Brown's office for comment this morning.
Until now, Brown has been unwilling to discuss details of the tentative agreement with firefighters. The city has been talking with each of the six employee bargaining units.
Last week, two Flint police unions passed tentative contract agreements with the city.
Brown has said he wanted to have a plan this week for addressing union contracts as well as a 2013 budget and a deficit-elimination plan.
The city's four public safety unions -- three police units and the fire union -- have all been operating under expired contracts for more than two years. The unions had been heading to arbitration prior to the state takeover.

It's not too early in history to be exterminated by a Dalek
The ring wing or annular airfoil is an aircraft design which has been experimented with throughout the history of aviation with some interesting variations. It has served as the inspiration for several paper airplane designs, model airplanes of course, and a variety of children's toys. The capabilities imagined by the French coléoptère engineers of the 1950's and 1960's and the U.S. "flying tank" designers are available today at least in the form of unmanned vehicles (large PDF brochure, 6 minute video download, 1½ minute YT news clip). The technology has also been adapted to become the surfboard tunnel fin and there are underwater UAVs as well.
They're models, not toys!
Building and flying free flight model airplanes is a pastime so obscure it doesn't even register on the geek heirarchy. But in the period between Lindberg's flight across the Atlantic until the start of the Second World War, thousands of boys (and some girls) around the world succumbed to the allure of rubber, lube, and dope.

Your tax dollars at work? Apparently the FAA is paying $50 a click to make sure that Americans are well informed passengers. What ever happened to Public Service Announcements? Anyone want to buy a $200 screwdriver?

Boeing's new boat
Boeing's new boat will be able to fly 6,000 nautical to 10,000 nautical miles nonstop which means it could circle the earth having to only refuel twice. The linked page includes a nice rendering of what the plane will look like (with concords permanently grounded, boeing might actually pull this off)
This scares me silly
This scares me silly given the general skill level drivers display in my town. I'm imagining some idiot chatting away on a cell phone taking out my condo.

I am debating buying a Pietta 1858 Stainless Steel and then buying a conversion cylinder for it. If I were to do this, how hot of 45 Colt rounds can I shoot out of it? I reload my ammo so I could make them any hotness I want but I wouldn't want to blow up the cylinder or anything. Any info is appreciated.
