Name: Homsar
This looks like an excellent concept for a pokemon. Very solid all around. One thing confuses me though.
When you say Light/???, do you mean that you aren't sure what the secondary type will be, or you want to use the ??? type as the secondary type. If the latter is the case, then I regret to inform you that the ??? type was removed from the game in generation 5, so that won't work.
Though considering all the new types that gen 6 will be introducing, ??? type could very well be making a comeback, so you might be in the clear.

CBNNews.com - In what can only be described as divine intervention, a 19-year old Israeli Arab woman survived two bullets to her head.
Returning to her home in the Israeli Arab village of Na'ura, near Afula in the lower Galilee, late Tuesday evening, she was met by her 24-year-old brother, who had been planning the "honor" killing for some time. He opened fire at point blank range.
Instead of penetrating her skill, the bullets shattered on impact. Feigning death while her brother brutally kicked her to make sure she was dead, she heard him phone emergency services and say, "I just shot my sister."
Though he failed to kill her, his family praised him for his sincere effort.
In Muslim culture, male relatives are duty bound to kill a female perceived to have brought shame on her family, which can be anything from refusing an arranged marriage, wanting a divorce, talking with a man or even being a victim of sexual assault.
According to Afula Police Chief Deputy Commander Orly Malka, family members who knew of his intentions and aided in planning the incident will also be arrested and charged with attempted murder.
"He simply stole a gun, fired a number of shots, kicked her and stopped when he thought she was dead," Malka told The Jerusalem Post.
According to the police chief, little has changed in this kind of brutality against Arab women in her district.
"There has been a constant that hasn't changed in 100 years," she said.

CV Gal: Donald cannot tear Hillary Clinton apart based on her experience, knowledge and work in government. As a last resort to destroy and hurt her -- he attempts to tear her apart by hitting her in the most painful part of a woman's life - her husband's infidelity during their marriage and insinuates she is to blame for her husband's infidelity. Donald cannot go much lower than that. Lower would be accusing her of murder and I wish he would be stupid enough to go there so all of America would see what an morally bankrupt person this caricature of a man really is.

Michael Körner and Timo Holub are back at the headquarter offices of Max Bögl, one of Germany's the largest private construction companies. The two men are on their way back from Ursensollen, a city 30 km away, where they conducted maintenance on a wind turbine tower this morning. Today, they worked close to the office and so were able to take the time to talk to us about their profession: wind turbine tower maintenance. Most of the time, they spend their week traveling throughout Germany, scaling wind turbines up to 143 meters tall to ensure that they remain in proper working order. Energy and networks

This review is from: Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 16GB 3G Titanium Gray Unlocked Cell Phone w/ 5.5" Super AMOLED Touch Screen / Bluetooth 4.0 5.5" 2GB RAM
Pros: It had a great screen and awesome battery life. Pretty snapping in most apps. Worked well internationally in U.S.A., South Korea, and The Philippines.
Cons: Sudden reboots and freezing after less than a year, the screen has now stopped responding to any touch, the only thing working when it isn't freezing our rebooting is the S-Pen. Don't think a factory reset or cache wipes will help at all here since they won't.
No warranty support from anywhere it seems even though these phones have a 1 year warranty, US call center has no idea, sends you to some other country in my case United Arab Emirates which in turn has no idea.
Other Thoughts: Doesn't seem like Samsung cares about customer service, a "international" phone sold and priced higher should be serviceable internationally also. Newegg should also not sell these if they are not willing to help with the warranty process past the short 90 days.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: Specs are good for the price.
Cons: The one I ordered came with a peeling touchpad that messes with the button presses of the pad. Rcv'd 9/17 been in RMA since 9/23. IMO way to long to wait for something that should have been caught in QA, now in a additional $50 of shipping.READ FULL REVIEW

Click & Collect From your local shop
One dismal day in 1857, Maria Mundy arrives at Hatter's Hall, the local mental asylum, not as an inmate but as a worker. Here, she is ordered to care for Isabelle Montgomery, the daughter of an influential land-owner. But Isabelle is not insane. She, like many other young women confined within the walls, has been banished here by her family. Hatter's Hall serves to hide unmarried women, in the family way, from prying eyes. As the women's lives become entwined, they realise the dangers they face. But there is only one way out of Hatter's Hall. The women must escape and there is one man who can help, Isabelle's brother Joshua - who can barely keep his eyes off Maria. Otherwise, there's every chance they might never leave.

Linux Device Roundup
In this article, Linux Journal speaks with four Linux device experts—Henry Kingman, Rick Lehrbaum, Shawn Powers and Bill Weinberg—in a virtual roundtable to take the pulse of Linux-based devices. They discuss the state of Linux-driven devices, their promise for the future and which ones are their favorites. Our roundtable participants are some of the best-known voices and "virtual pens" in the Linux device space:
Henry Kingman has edited the renowned site LinuxDevices.com since 2003. Kingman started his Web publishing career in 1998 at ZDNet, building a massive TipZone database largely composed of Microsoft software bugs.
Rick Lehrbaum is the founder and editor of the popular site DeviceGuru.com, an independent blog devoted to new and emerging device technologies. In addition to founding LinuxDevices.com—now a part of DeviceForge.com—Lehrbaum cofounded Ampro Computers and consults for companies in the embedded market.
Shawn Powers is the celebrated Gadget Guy product reviewer for LinuxJournal.com and Associate Editor for Linux Journal. He is also technology director for a K–12 school district in Michigan.
Bill Weinberg is an Independent Analyst and Consultant at LinuxPundit.com. He also serves as General Manager of the Linux Phone Standards (LiPS) Forum and Mobile Linux Weatherman for the Linux Foundation. Previously, Weinberg was with Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) as Senior Technology Analyst and manager of the group's Mobile Linux and Carrier Grade Linux Initiatives, as well as a founding team member at MontaVista Software.
Henry Kingman: Some trends in the world of Linux may be:
Using desktop and server software instead of special "embedded" software (Nokia started this trend).
Using Linux in place of an RTOS (real-time OS).
Better "free" sources of Linux, such as the kernels, BSPs and filesystems supplied by chip or board suppliers and open-source projects.
More commercial support options, with hybrid service/product companies like Embedded Alley making headway.
Better tools, with the industry aligning behind Eclipse and its top-level Device Software Development Platform.
Trends caused by Linux may include:
Ridiculous feature proliferation, such as multiple radios in mobile devices, car stereos that can park the car, vending machines that phone in orders and so on.
Ubiquitous networking.
Ubiquitous Web control interfaces.
Near-ubiquitous media rendering and GPS.
Richer interfaces across the board.
Ever-shorter product life cycles.
Rick Lehrbaum: First, Linux is really well established. It's become the default choice for devices with 32-bit processors—that is, developers tend to start with the assumption that they'll use Linux and use something else only if they require special capabilities, or if the "politics" of their company are strongly stacked in favor of an RTOS or Windows CE/XPe.
Second, Linux has become the default OS for several device categories, including the emerging MID, Netbook and Nettop product categories; traditional thin-client terminals; Wi-Fi routers; set-top boxes, such as TiVo and the Roku Netflix box; and very significantly, mid- and high-end mobile phones.
Shawn Powers: I think largely the idea that Linux is no longer a buzzword, but rather the norm, is very significant. It's almost unsettling that so many devices are incorporating Linux, and yet that isn't as unique and exciting as it used to be from a marketing standpoint. Back in August at LinuxWorld, I noticed a huge trend in that so much of the conference was Linux, but wasn't really about Linux. It's as if we've finally taken over the world, and it's not as exciting as we thought it would be.
Bill Weinberg: Linux is becoming increasingly ubiquitous as an embedded software platform. From data gleaned from analyst reports and from my own direct contact with OEMs, about one-third of 32- and 64-bit designs are using Linux. Application areas include mobile telephony, consumer electronics, automotive systems/GPS, telecommunications and networking infrastructure, even medical and aerospace/defense.
Trends that I see include consolidation of systems/software platforms—mobile in particular. The visible manifestations of the trend toward consolidation include the merger of dot-orgs like LiPS and LiMo; companies like ACCESS, Azingo, Purple Labs and others joining LiMo and embracing that platform spec; Intel embracing Ubuntu/Canonical as part of Moblin and also buying OpenHand; Wind River buying Mizi Research; and Sun refocusing the role of Linux-based JavaFX Mobile to complement Google/Android.
Frankly, more important (in my humble opinion) than ".organic" mergers and activities is ORGANIC consolidation. In particular, if you look at the range of FOSS and commercial mobile platforms (including those mentioned above), you will see a consolidation of foundation components around: the Linux kernel 2.6, glibc, GTK+/Cairo/Pango, WebKit, GStreamer and Java (still a must for legacy interoperability). This development is illustrated in Figure 1.
The second major trend is that the upward motion of the value line put OEMs in the pilot seat. OEMs and integrators have a better range of choices with regard to buying and/or building a Linux-based embedded platform and toolkit. They can certainly turn to OSVs, like MontaVista and Wind River, and/or smaller packaged product/services companies. They also can purchase application-purposed vertical stacks for mobile, automotive, MIDs and so on from companies like those mentioned above. They also can, with more confidence than ever before, self-integrate bits directly from OSS projects with their value-added internal code and ISVware. And, they can mix and match. This development is illustrated in Figure 2.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

I am currently considering an Oppo player. Pricy but great rep & specs. Any opinions? I have been using my PS3 which seems to work great but want to move up for theatre quality.

You may consider diving into one of the already established OPPO threads. Lots of great info and opinions on all of them. Great players, but it just depends on what you want. I've got a 93 and I really do like it. To me, worth the $500.00.
Happy reading!

SEATTLE - Fans are starting to get over that "guy from Nirvana thing," Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel says.
"When we started out, there was a lot of novelty aspect," said Mendel, a charter member of the band fronted by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl.
"It was just a matter of time before people recognized we were a band in our own right," he said from Cincinnati, a stop on the group's arena tour opening for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Nirvana, the Seattle group at the head of the "grunge" rock phenomenon of the early 1990s, ended with singer-guitarist Kurt Cobain's shotgun suicide in 1994.
Fans and critics alike were skeptical when Grohl stepped out from behind his drum kit, began shopping a CD on which he played every instrument on almost every track, and recruited bandmates to Seattle to form the Foo Fighters. (The name refers to UFOs reported by Allied fliers over World War II Germany.)
But now, with three platinum releases behind them and continuing national video and radio exposure, the Foo Fighters have emerged as major post-grunge players.
"I think it's that we've never taken things too seriously," Mendel said. "People respond to guys who don't have huge egos and don't consider their band the most important thing in the world and are just trying to have a good time. Plus, Dave writes good songs."
The band's latest release, "There is Nothing Left to Lose," opened strong in Billboard's Top Ten after its worldwide debut Nov. 2, but has since slipped out of the Top 100.
The album features the Foo Fighter's signature driving pop, which, even when Grohl is screaming and the guitars are buzzing full throttle, always manages to sound melodic.
"We like to keep it within the confines of the pop song, where it kind of has a structure and doesn't get sidetracked," Mendel said. "Not to say that all music should be like that, but that's the way we like doing it."
While the musical approach is essentially the same as on 1997's "The Colour and the Shape" and the band's self-titled 1995 debut, much has changed. Guitarist Franz Stahl, a longtime friend and former bandmate of Grohl's in the Washington, D.C., punk band Scream, quit during recording of "There is Nothing Left to Lose."
"During rehearsals, Nate, Taylor and I were really connected," Grohl told Guitar World magazine. "But Franz kind of had a hard time finding his place in that. . . . I love him dearly and wish he were still in the band. But at the end of the day, Nate, Taylor and I thought maybe it would be better if we recorded the album as a three-piece."
Grohl declined an interview request from the road.
The band also left Capitol Records, thanks to a contract clause that allowed them to jump ship if label head Gary Gersh were to leave, which he did in July 1998. Grohl moved to suburban Washington, D.C., from Los Angeles, where he'd moved from Seattle after his divorce. He built a recording studio, moved the band in, and "There is Nothing Left to Lose" was churned out without the input of record company honchos.
"I think every band would do that if they thought they could get away with it," Mendel said. "It came out well, and it helped sort of put us in a position of power."
The new album was released on RCA, and the band has been promoting it ever since, storming through Europe on a media tour earlier this year, signing on to open for the Chili Peppers at dozens of dates through the spring and summer, and planning its own smaller-venue tour beginning in the fall.
Mendel said the band is still getting used to playing in front of tens of thousands of fans.
"The energy's dissipated," he said. "The music doesn't bounce off the walls, and you can't see everybody in the room. . . . But then again, when people go crazy, it's deafening."
Hawkins and Grohl are known for their love of guitar-hero '70s bands such as Queen and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the Foo Fighters jumped at the chance recently to record with Queen guitarist Brian May for the soundtrack of this summer's "Mission Impossible" sequel.
"We recorded at his house, which was kind of surreal and really exciting," Mendel said. "It was this grand old English manor out in the country. He pretty much records all through the house, puts guitars in all the rooms. Right in the middle of the dining room is where we would stand and play."
May, he said, was the only one who played his part in one take for the song, a cover of Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar."
"He did his solo right off the bat. It was perfect."
The Foo Fighters, known for their blue-collar approach to touring, expect to be on the road for at least the next year, Mendel said, adding that "It's too soon to even think about" recording the next CD.

Nursing Home Company Settles Case
Beverly Adopts Ergonomic Measures To Reduce Back Injuries
WASHINGTON- Beverly Enterprises, Inc., one of the nation's largest nursing home operators, will adopt specific measures to reduce back injuries for employees involved in lifting nursing home residents, as part of a settlement agreement announced today by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The company has also agreed to establish a training program and purchase mechanical lift equipment. The settlement applies to all Beverly Enterprises facilities within federal OSHA jurisdiction.
"After years and years of litigation, we are pleased to resolve this matter and move forward with steps to eliminate hazards and better protect the employees of Beverly Enterprises," said Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao.
The agreement settles citations issued by OSHA to five Pennsylvania nursing homes following a 15-month investigation that began in May 1991 in response to complaints that workers were suffering back injuries related to lifting and transferring residents. The agency found that the company's injury and illness records revealed numerous musculoskeletal injuries sustained by nursing assistants that resulted in extensive lost work time and restricted work duty.
"This agreement represents a major commitment to eliminate serious injuries and provide these employees the needed protection," said OSHA Administrator John L. Henshaw. "The company has agreed to implement these new changes not only at the Pennsylvania facilities but also at all locations within federal OSHA jurisdiction."
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU), District Local 1199P and Local 668, which represent workers at the Pennsylvania facilities, also signed the settlement agreement.
Under terms of the settlement agreement, Beverly agreed to withdraw its contest of the citations and OSHA agreed to withdraw the proposed penalties.
Beverly Enterprises, Inc., headquartered in Ft. Smith, Ark., is one of the largest nursing home operators in the U.S. The company currently operates approximately 240 nursing homes that are covered by this settlement. The cited facilities involved in this agreement are Carpenter Care Center in Tunkhannock, Pa.; Blue Ridge Haven Convalescent Center (d/b/a West Shore Health and Rehabilitation Center) in Camp Hill, Pa.; Beverly Manor of Monroeville in Monroeville, Pa.; Meyersdale Manor in Meyersdale, Pa.; and Richland Manor in Johnstown, Pa.

Welcome to Osmond Marketing!
A Full-Service Content Marketing Organization
At Osmond Marketing, we provide a wide range of publishing services.
Businesses large and small rely on Osmond Marketing for their content.
Building a website alone can be daunting, no matter how experienced you are.
Using a combination of digital and printing materials, we help you compete in your marketplace.
I just wanted to send you a note to thank you and your team for all the assistance you have been giving our facility. Your work with our brochures, website, and marketing team has been very beneficial. I also appreciate the help with the live chats that come from our website. I try jumping on those chats as quick and often as possible and your team is always on there with quick responses until I can take over the conversation.
Amy Osmond Cook has been extremely helpful as I began my job as Marketing Director and Community Relations Manager at Apple Valley Post Acute Rehab. She has been delightfully encouraging and has walked me through many, many projects, both technical and otherwise.
Osmond Marketing's work on our brochures was outstanding. It took us from a brochure that just gave facts and info to a visually attractive, emotional selling tool. I like the way we can customize this with our three inserts depending on the patient type, tour at the building, or the particular patient we are visiting at the hospitals. Case managers have commented on the improvement. It gives us a much more professional look. The speed of production was impressive, as well.Our website improvements are equally as impressive. I was surprised at how little time I had to spend getting information and how much nicer the site looked when finished. Again I feel like we are moving to a new level with our web exposure.
Amy Osmond Cook has been helping me with my website, brochures, and advertisement on Lodi Memorial's videos. She is very knowledgeable and a delight to work with.
I spent a lot of time interviewing different PR/social/online content people before I settled on working with Amy and Madison for my Kickstarter campaign for my project Eden. They clearly get it. They understand what it means to be in a startup and making every dollar stretch and driving the maximum amount of value. They also get that the job nevers stops. They were available to work through things whether it was in the middle of the day or night (quite literally we had some of our best working sessions at 1am). I will work with them on any other project that I have.
I would highly recommend Amy Osmond Cook to work with any facility on marketing-related matters. She helped us at Villa updating our website and putting together brochures for our Stroke Recovery Program, INSPIRE. She is very easy to work with--she responds to questions quickly and efficiently. Amy not only helped update our website, but also took the time to show us how we can go in and update the website ourselves. She has been an invaluable resource, especially for a new administrator..
Osmond Marketing is organized, efficient, detailed, professional, and multi-talented. Our experience with Osmond Marketing was outstanding, and we look forward to working with them in the future.
Osmond Marketing is an absolute pleasure to work with. They were able to turn my manuscript into the work of art I had envisioned. While reading my editor's marks, I often found myself saying out loud, 'YES, that is exactly what I was trying to say!' I cannot wait to work with Osmond Marketing again!
I couldn't be happier with the work that Osmond Marketing Books did for my orthodontic practice. Not only is their work impeccable, but their customer service is also outstanding. My website needed a complete overhaul, and I felt like they really listened to what I wanted it to be and produced it exactly. Thank you!!
Working with Osmond Marketing has been an absolute delight. I'm so grateful to have found a publisher who is so congenial, sympathetic, and does everything within their power to help my book succeed while affording me a tremendous degree of creative control over my work. I've been overwhelmingly pleased with the aesthetic feel of Waffle Street, from the cover design to the typeset and chapter layout. From day one, my editor explained that she believed in establishing a partnership with her authors, and she has since proven true to her word. At every turn in the publishing journey, Osmond Marketing has been completely square in our dealings, delivered on their promises, and aggressively marketed my book. I couldn't ask for a better partner in a very tough business.
Osmond Marketing is amazing. The entire process of publishing my book from start to finish was stress-free, enjoyable, and, to use an overused word, awesome. I don't know how I could have done it without them, and especially Amy Cook, who is incredible. Thank you, Amy, and everyone at Osmond Marketing.
Osmond Marketing's advice, guidance, and editing were instrumental with my website and e-book. The site went live on the day as originally planned without any delays. I appreciated the professional service and the excellent outcome of the project.
Osmond Marketing did an outstanding job publishing my book, Divorce: Think Financially, Not Emotionally. I'm absolutely thrilled with the final product and so proud to hand it out to prospective clients and members of the media. Not only did they do a fantastic job, but they were so easy to work with and went out of their way to accommodate my needs.
Publishing Rubber Band Girl with Osmond Marketing exceeded my expectations. From start to finish it was professional yet personal, allowing me to grow as an author. I felt as if I had an amazing support team behind me every step of the way. I highly recommend them!
We had hopes for our book to be published within a certain time frame, and Osmond Marketing made it happen. I am still amazed by the smoothness of the whole experience and can't describe the feeling of holding such a high-quality finished product in my hands. The book, Stages: An Autobiography, is something we can be proud of; I know it wouldn't have happened without the guidance and professionalism of Osmond Marketing. That kind of dedication is valuable beyond words.
Amy and her team provide our facility with tangible resources that enable us to continue to build our brand awareness and grow our book of business. We bring marketing ideas to them, and they quickly assist us in accomplishing our goals. Amy helps us explore other valuable resources and options that have proven to be essential.
Thank you for your support in helping us achieve new census and revenue heights in 2015. I greatly appreciate your help placing articles with Provider Magazine and local Media. Thank you for developing advertising for our annual Car Show and Senior Awareness Fair. Your help in updating our website with high-quality content, photos, and website layout has been excellent. Thank you for your quick response in attending to web-leads. They have resulted in facility admissions.
Osmond Marketing is phenomenal with anything regarding publishing or writing a book. They have also recently helped me edit a video and have done an awesome job. I would recommend Osmond Marketing for any video editing or anything regarding book writing or publishing.
I just wanted to thank you and your team for all of the support and follow up we have received in the field. Our facilities are utilizing social media in a much more strategic way as part of our overall census development plans. Thanks for teaching us and assisting us in reaching our goals.
I wanted to send out a thank you to you and your team for all of the things you have been working on for Alamitos Belmont. From the new logo to the outstanding advertisements that will be placed in various publications, all of the work is not only top notch but very timely. We have had many compliments on our new website as well as the video testimonials from past and present patients. This video is already having a positive impact on the facility.
Thanks so much for all that you and your team do for us.
I appreciate the support and tools your team provides to enhance our marketing and exposure to the community, physicians and referral sources . . . the live chat, for example, impresses every physician/referral source in a big way! The options you have given us and the ready accessibility of your team to provide what we request has been great.
Amy's team constantly thrives to find new and innovative ways to bring recognition to the 5 Star Care that my team provides. They work hard to recognize staff that go the extra mile and highlight success stories from patients that have spent time at Cottonwood Post-Acute Rehab.
My team and I are grateful for having you always available to bounce different ideas off of you and for your help with different marketing projects. With this ever changing business, we have to be willing to try new things as well as hold true to what has worked.
Your team has been incredibly helpful in addressing facilities business development needs (i.e., websites, brochures, and other marketing materials). I have received only positive feedback from facilities.

Cut plywood into panels as labeled in the diagram below. Making sequential cuts will make this process easier with one person. Start with a fresh blade and use a rip fence or cutting guide*. The panels can also be cut on a table saw if help is available to hold the sheet as it is pushed across the table. The dimensions shown are the finished lengths, so make sure you place the blade on the correct side of the cut mark prior to ripping. The cross hatched areas are drops of wood that can be discarded. Reserve all other pieces.
In a pinch, a straight 2x4 and two C-clamps can make an improvised cutting guide.
Once the panels are cut, start assembling the four pieces. Wood glue and screws will be used to secure the panels together at the corners. Drill three pilot holes in each end of the side panels and start the screws on the flat surface, then assemble the four pieces on the floor (12 screws total). Make sure that each piece is flush to the next. Once these four pieces are joined, the four gussets will be installed flush to the bottom of each frame corner. Again use glue and three wood screws on each side (24 screws total) making sure that the screw heads are flush or slightly recessed*.
Before installing the gussets, make sure the frame is square by checking the diagonal measurements. If the frame is square, both measurements will be equal.
Cut the 4x4 into four 11-1/2"-long pieces. The back of the 4x4 will be notched out so that it wraps the frame corner, is flush at the bottom and protrudes 1 1/2" above the top of the frame. Start by marking the cut-out with a 10" line 2" in on two adjacent sides. Set your saw blade to a 2" depth and make these two 10"-long cuts (cuts 1 and 2).
Next, make the two perpendicular cuts with the same saw depth (10" from the end, cuts 3 and 4). There will now only be a small piece of wood connecting the cut-out corner and the drop. Using a vibratory saw or a chisel, remove the final wood and clean up the inside corner. Lastly, cut the back of the 1 1/2" top at a 45-degree angle. Glue the interior faces of the corner and finish nail to the bed frame.
Install the two plywood ledger strips even with the bottom of the bed frame sides. Use wood glue and install 1-1/4" screws 6" on center through the face of the ledger into the side panel. Measure the distance between the bed frame sides (in this case, 6' 5") and cut seven 2x4s to this length. Next, install the cross slats 12" on center with one screw into the ledger on each end. (We used 1x4s for our bed and added a middle leg to support the weight. But if you want to skip using a middle leg, make the cross slats using 2x4s.)
If solid legs have threaded rod in the tops, install the leg-mounting thread into the corner gusset on each side. If the mounting thread is accessible, install a washer and nut, and tighten. If the mounting thread is not accessible, use a quality construction adhesive on the thread, hole and top*.
Undersize the hole for the threaded rod by 1/16" for a tight fit. The rod can be threaded into the wood by spinning the leg clockwise.
Cut (8) pieces of trim to fit between the corner posts and install top and bottom around the perimeter of the frame with 15-gauge finish nails. Caulk all joints and nail holes with a painter's caulk and allow to dry for 30 minutes. While the caulk is drying, cut two pieces of 1/4" sheathing to go over the 2x4 cross bars. If you are using a box spring, you can skip this step but your mattress will likely sit above the frame instead of within it. Finish up by painting the frame with your color of choice."

The Southwest Public Health District has announced that they are investigating an outbreak of whooping cough in Colquitt, Mitchell and Thomas counties, with additional cases being confirmed in other counties.
"Pertussis, or whooping cough, is an infection caused by bacteria," Southwest Health District Health Director Dr. Jacqueline Grant said. "It spreads easily through the air when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes."
Whooping cough can cause serious â" even life-threatening â" complications in babies and young children who are not fully vaccinated, Grant warned.
"More than half of infants younger than 12 months old who get pertussis require hospitalization," she said. "Since 2013, there have been seven cases of infants with pertussis in our district. Four of those were hospitalized, and three â" all under two months old â" required intensive care outside of the area."
She said the district epidemiologist and staff are working with area schools and child care facilities, which are especially prone to see clusters of whooping cough, to identify and manage cases of the disease and keep it from spreading.
"We are asking contacts of patients with confirmed cases to get in touch with their healthcare providers," said Southwest Health District Epidemiologist Jacqueline Jenkins. "Early recognition of cases, effective treatment and prophylaxis and vaccinations are vital to limiting the spread of pertussis."
Grant stressed that women should be vaccinated against pertussis with every pregnancy to protect their babies. "The best time to receive the vaccine, known at Tdap, is between 27 and 36 weeks," she said. "If it isn't administered during pregnancy, it should be provided immediately after she gives birth. It should also be given to all of the baby's caregivers to provide a cocoon against pertussis infection."
Pertussis can be hard to diagnose, partly because physicians are not necessarily expecting to see it, and partly because it mimics other illnesses, such as colds and allergies, Grant noted. Also, vaccinated children and adults can get pertussis.
Symptoms begin with a runny or stuffed up nose, mild coughing, sneezing and â" in infants â" a pause in breathing. After one to two weeks, coughing becomes severe. In some patients, the coughing fits result in the characteristic "whooping" sound, but not always. Babies with pertussis may not have coughing fits; instead they may gag, gasp, vomit, stop breathing or turn blue. Fever may also occur.

Lesson Plan
Fish Eyes Lesson Plan
- Grades: PreK–K, 1–2
About this book
Follow a reading of Lois Ehlert's book by fishing for numbers in this counting activity. This lesson is suitable for grades K-1.
Students will match quantities up to at least 10 with numerals and words (Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Framework).
- Fish Eyes by Lois Ehlert
- Index cards (unlined)
- Markers
- Hole punchers
- Black Sharpie marker
- Unsharpened pencils
- String
- Paper clips
- Small, strong magnets
- Scissors
- Optional: Small wading pool
Set Up and Prepare
- Use the Sharpie marker to trace the outline of a fish on the index cards.
- Write 1 through 10 on one side of the fish. For example, one fish will have the number 1, another fish will have the number 2, etc.
- Decide how many fishing poles to make, based on how many children you want "fishing" at once, or if you want to send a fishing pole home with your students.
- To make the fishing poles, tie one end of a piece of string to an unsharpened pencil and tie the other end to a magnet.
Step 1: Have students use the markers to color the side of the fish that does not have the number written on it.
Step 2: Students can then use the scissors to cut out their fish.
Step 3: Help students to use a paper punch to create the same amount of holes as designated by the number written on their fish. For example, if their fish has 3 written on it, use the punch to make three holes, being careful not to punch the written number itself.
Step 4: Attach a paper clip to the fish.
Step 5: Place the fish in an empty wading pool, or create an imaginary pool using a rug, construction paper, or fabric.
Step 6: Point out that the number of spots, or holes, corresponds to the number written on the fish.
Step 7: Have students take turns "fishing" with their poles starting with the number 1.
Note: It's sometimes helpful to have a bucket to put fish in as they're caught. That way students won't be distracted as others are fishing. If you laminate your fish, you can put them in the wading pool with some water.
Lesson Extensions
The paper fish can be used for graphing activities, or glued to a large sheet of paper to create a number chart.

I'll never wake up without an overdose of you
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
Unless I feel you next to me
You take the pain I feel
Waking up to you, it never felt so real
I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams won't comfort me
The way you make me feel
Waking up to you never felt so real

But mentally you don't have the hip hop energy
With a tendency to make up stories
Sounding like the only hip hop you've heard is top 40
And your record company is completely missing it
All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate
So in a battle you can't hack it
React with whack s**t
And get smacked with verbal back flips
Get your a** kicked by fabulous battle catalysts
It's taken decades for MCs to establish this
You're new to hip hop and you're welcome if you're serious
But not on the mic
Leave that to the experienced
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, step up, step, step up
F**k that I wanna see some fists pumping
Risk something, take back what's yours
Say something that you know they might attack you for
Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before
Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for
Like this war's really just a different brand of war
Like it doesn't cater the rich and abandon poor
Like they understand you in the back of the jet
When you can't put gas in your tank
These f**kers are laughing their way to the bank and cashing the check
Asking you to have compassion and have some respect
For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
In their living room laughing like "what did he say?"

Eleanor Saitta calls for secure decentralized collaboration tools
"Given that we still have so far to go, why am I telling people they should stop writing secure messaging tools? Because we have too many other tools we also need." Decentralized collaboration is how programmers work on software projects; it's also a good model for nonprofits, NGOs, and distributed teams of all kinds, especially ones which operate in risky environments or have powerful adversaries, according to this essay by Eleanor Saitta, a security consultant, systems thinker, and activist. She lists a number of system properties such teams need (decentralization, offline-friendliness, end-to-end encryption, etc) and two dozen ideas for needed tools: mind mapping, wiki, map-based storytelling, work assignment and tracking, reference management, and so on.

Eigendemocracy: crowd-sourced deliberative democracy
Scott Aaronson on building a 'PageRank' for (eigen)morality and (eigen)trust - "Now, would those with axes to grind try to subvert such a system the instant it went online? Certainly. For example, I assume that millions of people would rate Conservapedia as a more trustworthy source than Wikipedia—and would rate other people who had done so as, themselves, trustworthy sources, while rating as untrustworthy anyone who called Conservapedia untrustworthy. So there would arise a parallel world of trust and consensus and 'expertise', mutually-reinforcing yet nearly disjoint from the world of the real. But here's the thing: anyone would be able to see, with the click of a mouse, the extent to which this parallel world had diverged from the real one." [more inside]

Network Theory Overview - "The idea: nature and the world of human technology are full of networks! People like to draw diagrams of networks. Mathematical physicists know that in principle these diagrams can be understood using category theory. But why should physicists have all the fun?

Math isn't the main thing we need, but it's got to be part of the solution... so one thing we should do is develop a unified and powerful theory of networks." (via ;)

You are either In or you are Out
There is a fundamental disconnect between large-scale, for-profit media and the crushing power of enthusiasm, which is that when they try to control it, it instantly isn't real. It's patently unreal. It's excitement given life by force, Pet Sematary-style. But when they don't control it, it isn't profitable. And that means that when they run into people excited about their stuff, they vacillate between an Ebenezerian lack of generosity and a Professor-Harold-Hillian smarm. To own enthusiasm and to exploit it are competing instincts, much as they often seem to be twins. You can, in fact, sometimes best exploit it — or only exploit it — by leaving it alone. -- In what could be considered a Metafilter Manifesto, Mefi's own Linda Holmes takes on the multivariate economics of fandom and the internet.

Old Hansa
Networks of the Hanseatic League - The Hanseatic League was a late-medieval network of economically largely independent long-distance trade merchants which was based on trust, reputation and reciprocal relations. The informal cooperation among its members kept transactional, informational and organizational costs low, allowing the Hanse merchants to make good profits from the long-distance trade between the Baltic and the North Seas. Thanks to personal and institutional links with confederations of towns, the Hanse merchants were initially able to strengthen their international position of power. Since the late 15th century, however, the transaction costs of long-distance trade increased as a result of growing exclusivity and formalization efforts in the Hanseatic league. Moreover, changes in the European economic structure, triggered by the discovery of America, and internal conflicts ultimately led to the disintegration of the Hanseatic networks.

More statistical hijinks on climate change
"certain styles of research were suggested to be prone to 'groupthink, reduced creativity and the possibility of less-rigorous reviewing processes.' Edward Wegman is a professor at George Mason and a distinguished statistician with a long career, a former winner of the ASA's Founders Award. In 2006 he testified before Congress on climate science, sharply criticizing the statistical methodology of Michael Mann's "hockey stick graph," which showed a sharp increase in global temperature in the last part of the 20th century. One section of Wegman's testimony concerned "social network analysis," and suggested that Mann's tightly-knit network of co-authors might have led to insufficiently aggressive peer review. USA Today reports that Wegman's testimony contained a substantial quantity of plagiarized material, and the peer-reviewed article derived from the testimony has been retracted by the journal that published it. John Mashey has compiled an obsessively thorough catalogue of the plagiarized text. (large .pdf.) [more inside]

Salvador Allende's Internet
Cybersyn (or Synco, in Spanish) was computer network constructed in 1970 by an English/Chilean team headed by cyberneticist Stafford Beer (his papers). Cybersyn was an electronic nervous system for the Chilean economy, linking together mines, factories and so on, to better manage production and give workers a clear idea of what was in demand and where. The network was destroyed by the army after the 1973 coup. Later that year Stafford Beer drew upon the lessons of Cybersyn to write Fanfare for Effective Freedom, a eulogy for Allende and Cybersyn, and Designing Freedom, a series of six lectures he gave for CBC, outlining his ideas. Besides the first link in this post, the best place to start is this Guardian article from 2003. If you want to go more in-depth, read Eden Medina's Designing Freedom, Regulating a Nation: Socialist Cybernetics in Allende's Chile. And if nothing else, just take a look at the amazing Cybersyn control room.
Trusting the FOX
Fox News is the most trusted news network in the United States, according to a new poll [.pdf] of 1,151 Americans conducted by Public Policy Polling (a polling firm with a mostly Democratic and progressive list of clients), the most trusted news network among Americans is FOX News, which was trusted by 49% of respondents (beating out CNN, MS-NBC, CBS, NBC, and ABC (though PBS was not included in the survey)). The pollsters conclude: "A generation ago you would have expected Americans to place their trust in the most neutral and unbiased conveyors of news," said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. "But the media landscape has really changed and now they're turning more toward the outlets that tell them what they want to hear."

Information doesn't want to be scale free
"the scale-free network modeing paradigm is largely inconsistent with the engineered nature of the Internet..." For a decade it's been conventional wisdom that the Internet has a scale-free topology, in which the number of links emanating from a site obeys a power law. In other words, the Internet has a long tail; compared with a completely random network, its structure is dominated by a few very highly connected nodes, while the rest of the web consists of a gigantic list of sites attached to hardly anything. Among its other effects, this makes the web highly vulnerable to epidemics. The power law on the internet has inspired a vast array of research by computer scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. According to an article in this month's Notices of the American Math Society, it's all wrong. How could so many scientists make this kind of mistake? Statistician Cosma Shalizi explains how people see power laws when they aren't there: "Abusing linear regression makes the baby Gauss cry."

Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (of Lawyers)
Two recent papers examine networks among Republicans: one among lawyers and the other among judges. Lawyers of the Right: Networks and Organization concludes that conservative lawyers, and particularly the Federalist Society, occupies a structurally important core bridging the gap between the religious and business constituencies on the right, which otherwise wouldn't interact. Meanwhile, Do Republican Judges Cite Other Republican Judges More? concludes that judges tend to base outside-circuit citation decisions on the political party of the cited judge, tend to cite judges of the opposite political party significantly less, are more likely to engage in biased citation practices in certain high stakes situations, and cite disproportionately more to those judges that cite back to them frequently.

The Mathematical Structure of Terrorism
It's all one's and zero's eh? The complex patterns of the natural world often turn out to be governed by relatively simple mathematical relationships. A seashell grows at a rate proportional to its size, resulting in a delicate spiral.

As our catalogue of natural phenomena has grown more complete, more and more scientists have begun to look for interesting patterns in human society.
