How to Pay for Cancer Care
Talking about money can be a challenge for most of us even during the best of times. When there is a diagnosis of cancer (and cancer is a costly illness), worrying about money and how to manage the cost of cancer care can take a toll on your emotions, family, health and time.

The Nature of Cancer
Many factors determine the cause of cancer, including a person's health history, lifestyle, exposure to elements in the environment and how an individual's DNA responds to all of it. Justin Colacino, Ph.D., a research assistant professor at the U-M School of Public Health provides his insights.

Musicians stage tribute to America's first professional composer
Even if you haven't heard of Stephen Foster, you've heard his music. "Oh! Susanna" and "Camptown Races" are among the first songs a child hears and learns. Unforgettable melodies, and their place in the public domain, ensure that they have endured, in schools, in toys, in movies and commercials, 160-plus years after Foster wrote them.
Foster is thought to have been the country's first professional composer, and his songs were immensely popular during his lifetime. But the music publishing market soured during the Civil War, and Foster died Jan. 13, 1864, at 37, struggling with a fever and a head injury in his final days, with just 38 cents in his pocket. »Read Full Article
Remembrance service; Taste of the Ward; bird watching
Honor our history
On May 5, 1886, several thousand laborers marched to the Bay View Rolling Mills to advocate for the eight-hour work day. When the marchers didn't stop after being ordered to do so, the state militia fired on the crowd, killing seven protesters and injuring many others. This infamous moment in Milwaukee history will be commemorated Sunday at 3 p.m. at the historical marker on S. Superior St. and E. Russell Ave. Historian John Gurda will moderate the remembrance, which features a re-enactment by the Milwaukee Public Theatre and the Milwaukee Mask and Puppet Theatre, folksinger Larry Penn and a wreath-laying ceremony with Anita Zeidler, daughter of Milwaukee's former mayor Frank Zeidler. The commemoration is free and open to the public. »Read Full Article
Windfall Theatre still in tune with 'A Little Night Music'
Many Stephen Sondheim musicals benefit from being performed in a smaller space, where voices and emotions require no amplification to be heard and seen. That's perhaps most true of "A Little Night Music" - a delectable lemon meringue that combines the delicate, light farce of Hugh Wheeler's book with the tart filling provided by Sondheim's score.
It's therefore no accident that the nearby Writers' Theatre production of "Night Music" last summer - in a house that barely seats 100 - was better in every way than the 2009 Broadway revival featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury. »Read Full Article(1)

Solo Sara Bareilles makes big impression in small room
The voice of Sara Bareilles could fill, and has filled, venues larger than the Humphrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center Auditorium, which sold out its 435-seat capacity when she stopped there Friday night.
Bareilles was in the midst of her first-ever solo tour and evidently wanted the intimacy of a smaller venue - combined, perhaps, with the assurance that if she failed, she would do so in front of a smaller crowd. »Read Full Article(2)

For Once, We Agree With Allen West -- Please "Go to War" to Defend Our Freedom From Ungodly Democrats (and Win Election You Lost)
Jon Stewart talks about this sort of nonsense a lot. Every election, he gets asked who he wants to win based not on his own political leanings but on comedy. Who will provide the best fodder for the meat grinder? Invariably, Stewart says something along the lines that it's not the characters or personality that makes great material; it's the absurdity of the American political machine.
We're here to tell you: That's stupid.
It's totally about personality!
Exhibit A: Allen West. Dude has been sooooooo good to us. He says all sorts of kooky (hate-filled), ideological, and sometimes, sexually graphic things that make him wonderful to write about. Indeed, politics can get boring -- especially with cyborg Obamatron back in power. But what's never dull? Allen Motherfucking West. Our world at Pulp would indeed be a drearier place if West vanished into obscurity.

But who are we kidding. That's NEVER going to happen: West is always on Twitter! (Hooray?)
Right now, everyone but the Associated Press and Allen West has said our boy has lost the election to Democrat Patrick Murphy, but West will. Not. Be. Denied. He's said he'll "go to war" over the Florida recount because nothing endows legitimacy like taking your electoral position with force, even the metaphoric kind.
Yesterday morning, the St. Lucie County Canvassing Board began a partial recount, throwing open the 37,000 absentee ballots once more for a look. We're still waiting back on those results. West has alleged some incompetence regarding those absentee ballots, and if true, he may still pull this one out. With his 164,448 votes, he's down only by 2,242 votes to Murphy's 166,890.
Suck on that, libs: West is coming back!
And we here at the Pulp rejoice. Perhaps not for the functionality of our democracy, considering that West's ideological obstinacy makes even Eric Cantor look conciliatory, but for the juice. If West wins this second term and throws in a few more XXX notes we're happy as happy can be.

If you are prepared to promote your home, there are 3 concepts you require to comprehend just before you can set the correct listing cost. Misunderstand these concepts and your house just may possibly not promote for a extremely lengthy time.
You can borrow non-public funds from folks that you have a prior romantic relationship with. You can not advertise to get non-public funds from strangers unless you have registered with your states Division of the SEC. I.e. you purchase a listing of strangers from The Listing Peddlers and then what? You must register but given that you are not instructed and trained by The Listing Peddler, you think it is hunky-dory just to make contact with/advertise to these non-public creditors. It's not. Appear, you are dancing with a gorilla (the SEC) and they are foremost. Consider of it this way. If you hate the believed of an IRS audit, the IRS is a pussy cat in comparison to the SEC.
In lookup of your Miami James Shaw Georgia home, you have to figure out the cost that you are inclined to shell out. This is also a way of narrowing down your lookup. This is an essential aspect that you require to consider to keep away from compromising your fiscal security.
There are network marketers who strongly feel that approaching your heat market place is a blue print for disaster and will only consequence in tarnishing relationships with the individuals you know and adore. This predicament should in no way come about and you should not allow that remote probability to deter you from speaking to the individuals with whom you presently have a romantic relationship.
You also share a single widespread interest that is vitally essential with respect to any business venture, and that is producing funds. You and your co-workers are becoming compensated by the very same company, the very same manager. I can nearly ensure that you have spoken to them about funds matters in the past. And a single spot of dialogue most undoubtedly is how much funds they make and the pleasure or deficiency thereof on the sum of funds they make.
SELF SUBMISSIONS: A self-submission is greater by much than no submission. Create a cover letter-a single that demonstrates your writing capacity. A letter that opens with a hook or at least a robust assertion. Tell them briefly what your e-book is about and why it is appropriate for their line-and you'd greater be positive it is. How? Study the type of westerns, historicals, or novels in your spot of interest and see which company publishes them.
As you can see from the earlier mentioned, the three ways that you can have additional earnings from home may differ. It also relies upon on which place you are at now. Some of the suggestions match a single place but not one more, especially little one sit.

NEW YORK — The two Hall of Fame jockeys were just about nose to nose as their horses hit the middle of the final turn of the Belmont Stakes.
Gary Stevens, aboard Preakness winner Oxbow, was going to relinquish the lead to the hard-charging Palice Malice, and he knew it. He glanced over to his right and looked at good friend Mike Smith and told him: "You go on with him big boy. You're moving better than me."
Was he ever.
Palice Malice seized the lead with a quarter-mile to go Saturday in the final leg of the Triple Crown and ran off to a 3 1/4-length victory over Oxbow at Belmont Park, with Kentucky Derby winner Orb another 1 3/4 lengths back in third.

text: From Wikipedia: The Milwaukee City Hall, at 353 feet (108 m) tall, is one of the oldest standing skyscrapers. It is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, U.S. It was finished in 1895 and at the time was the third tallest structure in the nation. The hall has a distinctive red hue. Milwaukee City Hall was designed by architect Henry Koch in Richardsonian-Romanesque style with a Flemish-German Renaissance Revival influence. Due to Milwaukee's historic German immigrant population, many of the surrounding buildings mirror this design. The foundation consists of 2,500 cedar piles which were driven in to the marshy land surrounding the Milwaukee River. The upper part of the tower was rebuilt after a fire in October 1929. As of 2005, the entire buildling is being renovated. City Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and declared a National Historic Landmark in 2005. City Hall was the marketing symbol of Milwaukee until the completion of the Calatrava wing of the Milwaukee Art Museum in 2001, but the bell tower continues to be used as a municipal icon. The bell in City Hall was named after Solomon Juneau, Milwaukee's first mayor. It was designed and crafted by the Campbells, who were early pioneers in creating diving chambers and suits near the Great Lakes area during that time.

In marketing, the goal is to make your product stand out from the competition. This means if there are five comparably-priced DSLRs on the dealer's shelf, the first thing shoppers do is figure out which camera dangles the most carrots, i.e. bells and whistles.
Since the dawn of digital we've had a succession of carrots dangled before us designed to make us pull out the credit card. Some carrots are real-deal, while others are more frivolous than truly useful. Among the carrots that have teased our senses are ever increasing pixel-counts (my chip's bigger than your chip), faster burst-rates, larger buffers, ever more metering and focusing zones, larger, brighter, and sharper LCDs, in-camera Photoshop-style imaging tools, and image stabilization.
One carrot that's been taking center stage lately has to do with structural integrity, i.e. how your new camera or lens reckons with dings, sudden stops on hard surfaces, sandstorms, monsoons, and shock and awe backwash from one of Uncle Paulie's cannonball dives.
The terms 'weatherproof', 'waterproof', 'shockproof', and 'dust-proof', are carrots originally associated with costlier 'pro' gear, but that was yesterday, and today is the day after yesterday. Nowadays tougher cameras are within the budget of most all of us, pro and not-so-pro.
But before we start the toy parade it's important to define the meanings of the words used on the manufacturer's press releases and packaging. The criteria as to what make a camera or lens 'weatherproof' varies from brand to brand, and model to model. And never assume 'weatherproof' or 'splash proof' means 'waterproof'. Just because your camera can survive the aftereffects of Uncle Paulie's cannonballs doesn't mean you can clip it on your weight belt the next time you go sponge diving. A word to the wise; Read the Fine Print.
Until recently if you wanted an all-but-bulletproof camera you had to pony up for one of Canon's EOS 1D Mark-series DSLRs, which remain benchmark cameras when it comes to keeping the ravages of mankind out and away from the innards of your DSLR. Over 70 silicon seals and gaskets block moisture and dust from entering most every cutout on the camera body, which is constructed of a composite of magnesium-alloy and carbon fiber materials for an optimized weight/strength ratio.
Canon Mark-series cameras also contain shielding to reduce the effects of ambient electromagnetic noise, truly tough shutter mechanisms, and are certified to work in a temperature range of 0 to 45-degrees Centigrade.
Equally robust is Nikon's FX-format heavy hitter camera of the year, the Nikon D3. Like Canon's Mark-series DSLRs, the Nikon D3 has a rugged magnesium-alloy chassis and body parts, an industrial-strength shutter mechanism, dozens of gaskets and O-rings to keep schmutz out of its innards, and is shielded against electromagnetic interference. And the images you get out of the Nikon D3 aren't too shabby either. It's not a stretch to say both Canon's Mark-series cameras and Nikon's D3 represent the best the industry has to offer when it comes to image quality and engineering technologies, regardless of which brand you personally prefer.
The big news is that while flagship digicams still cost upwards of 8 thousand dollars, today you can buy a tough-as-nails point-and-shoot digicam for a few hundred dollars, and a weather-sealed DSLR for well under a thousand dollars.
The Olympus E3 is the robust flagship DSLR from Olympus camera. Measuring in with a 10.1Mp, 4/3-format Live MOS imaging sensor, the E3 contains a rugged magnesium chassis and an abundance of weather-sealing gaskets to keep out dust and moisture.
The latest offerings from Pentax, the K200D and K20D, DSLRs featuring stainless-steel chassis surrounded by polycarbonate body panels, just might be the only weatherproof-rated DSLRs featuring pop-up flashes. This is noteworthy because pop-up flashes are popular ports-of-entry for moisture and dust on the average camera.
The Pentax K20D (14.6Mp) contains 72 weather-resisting gaskets to keeps out the elements, and the K20D's optional battery grip contains an additional 38 seals. The K20D's sibling, the Pentax K200D (10.2Mp) contains 60 protective gaskets in the camera body, and 14 seals lining its optional battery grip.
Both cameras also feature nanotechnology-based fluorine coatings on the low-pass filter as well as 'sensor shake' each time you power up the camera to prevent dust from marring your picture files. There's also a Dust Alert feature that lets you know when stubborn dust particles refuse to shake loose. (For more on the Pentax K20D, K200D, and Pentax weather-resistant optics see Jim Fisher's article elsewhere in this issue.)
The flagship DSLRs from Canon and Nikon aren't the only cameras from the Big Two that can stand up to the elements. The Canon EOS 5D, while not quite as bullet-proof as Mark-series Canon bodies, is a rather robust shooting machine in its own right, and Canon's EOS 40D sports a magnesium-alloy body that's well-sealed against dust and moisture, a beefed up shutter mechanism, and advanced dust reduction technologies.
Likewise Nikon's DX-format D300, which also makes similar claims to well-sealed magnesium-alloy body components, a hefty double-bladed shutter, and advanced moisture and dust prevention technology.
On the Sony front, the Sony alpha A700 features, like the Canon 5D, 40D, and Nikon D300, a magnesium alloy chassis that combines the qualities of strength and light weight to help absorb the impact of the various bumps and bounces encountered along life's journey.
And Don't Forget the Glass!
Weather-resistance and structural integrity are qualities that are also designed into select optics. Most Nikon Zoom Lenses with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 are weather-resistant, as are many of Nikon's Premium Fixed-Focus Optics.
Ditto Canon's L-Series Optics, which can be identified by the thin red line that circumnavigates the lens barrel. Canon 'Ls' feature gaskets and O-rings every-which-where to reduce the intrusion of dust and moisture, as well as a carbon-fiber lip on the forward edge of many of these lenses to absorb the ravages of minor impacts and reduce the likelihood of jammed filters.
If you shoot with a Sony alpha-series DSLR (or Minolta Maxxum) you too have weatherproof options in the lens department. Sony 'G'-series Lenses have O-rings and gaskets to keep moisture and dust at bay, and are constructed to a heftier standard than most production lenses. G-Series Sony lenses currently include the 35/1.4G, 300/2.8 APO G SSM, 70-200/2.8 APO SSM, and a soon-to-be-released 70-300/4.5~5.6G SSM.
Pentax DSLR owners rejoice! You too can battle the elements by mounting a Pentax DA*-series lens on your Pentax K20D, K200D, or other Pentax DSLR. DA*-series optics are currently available in the form of a smc DA* 50-135/2.8 (IF) SDM, smc DA* 16-50/2.8 ED/AL (IF) SDM, SMCP-DA* 300/4 ED (IF) SDM (coming soon!) and the SMCP-DA* 200/2.8 ED (IF) SDM.
And for Olympus E-series shooters, all Olympus High Grade and Super High Grade �series optics are all dust and splash-proof to match the construction and performance levels of Olympus' E-series cameras.

2010 Jeep Patriot SUV Sport 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I have the Sport 2.0 L with the 5 speed manual and have had great results. The editors of all the car magazines don't like this car, but they compare it to cars that cost $15K more. This is an excellent working person's car, great mileage in town, and enough engine for highway cruising. In 4th gear it climbs long hills at 55 without any problem. My insurance rate went down by $20 a month because of this car's great safety features. And if you're a big guy like me, it has a lot of room. One caveat, I got the manual transmission because Chrysler seems to have a hard time making a decent automatic transmission, but I like the feel of the manual. One practical vehicle.
Higher clearance is nice for hopping snow drifts. Aux input on stereo is nice.
Bring the center console a little higher. Hard to reach my caffeine when driving to work.
2010 Jeep Patriot SUV Sport 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I bought this Patriot new, it is a base model no a/c, no power anything, but I only paid 14K out the door. So for the money I could not be Happier. Great performance (for a 4cyl) even better gas milleage. It may not have the creature comforts but it comes stock with all the safety features that the top models have including the tire pressure monitor and canopy airbags. The best part is it still has a cd player with AUX input for ipod and tinted windows. So once again for the money I challenge anyone to find a better SUV.
2010 Jeep Patriot SUV Sport 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I purchased the 2.0 lt automatic with CVT and had similar complaints when driving a slow speeds.
The transmission does seem to kick when decelerating and re-accelerating around 10-15 MPH.
Also, I have less than 10k on it and occasionally have a hesitation when trying to start it up.
Cold days around 30-40 degrees seem worst and when parked on any type of hill...
The stereo is awesome for the money and the aux input is great to have.
Would have appreciated another power outlet but one is alright.
Rear suspension is beginning to squeak.
The controls for temp are cheap don't always seem to get in the right spot for the setting.
For the money, not a bad SUV but feels cheap.
AUX stereo input Body style Speakers Roomy interior Auto-stick Fold-flat seats Spare in the trunk Lighted cup holders Shelf in the dash
On 2L Sport: More smooth transmission Better cold weather start-ups More solid front seats Less road noise Padded/softer door side arm rests More solid/quality powertrain and suspension
2010 Jeep Patriot SUV Sport 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
This is the only family car you will find under $20K, gets 39 MPG highway even though rating is 25, and that fits a 6'3" teenager behind a 5'10" adult. Very impressive response from the 2.4 L and CVT. I like it. So does the wife. It will be her primary vehicle. More room and better fuel economy than our 1999 Cherokee. I would have no problem recommending this to anyone.
Deceptively roomy. You have spend a lot more to get this much room from any other car maker.
Include the cargo cover on all trim level.
2010 Jeep Patriot SUV Sport 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I bought a new Jeep Patriot in June on 2009. After owing it for only 6 months I was involved in a head on collision with another lager SUV at a combined speed of over 100 mph. My boyfriend and I walked away from the accident with only mild injuries compared to the severity of the accident. My Jeep was totaled, but I think that it preformed remarkably well under the conditions. The EMT's at the crash and my doctor in the ER both said that it was amazing that we were not hurt worse or dead. When all was said and done I purchased another Jeep Patriot to replace my 09' as I felt very safe in this car after our accident. I would recommend the Jeep Patriot to anyone.
My favorite thing about the Patriot is the way it reminds me of the old Jeep Cherokee.
The only feature I would like to be changes/enhanced would be the council configuration. I think it could be a bit more user friendly.

2009 Toyota Yaris S 2dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl 5M)
We love this car. It is everything we were looking for in a small commuter car. My wife calls it the Hummingbird, because it requires so little fuel to get around. We chose the "S" and Power package, which gives you all the features you need. My only complaint is that the Turn-signal indicator is too quiet. We choose the Manual 5-spd and have no regrets. Seats are firm, visibility is OK, center-mount dash layout takes a little while to get use to, but is very nice at night, since there is no light distraction directly in front of you. And we love the style and look of the "S" model.
Gas mileage is wonderful. Parking is a snap.
Louder Turn-signal indicator (just can't hear it).
I love this car, both inside and out. I am getting 35 mpg on average and I think this number will go up after the winter is over. This car has everything I need and is a great commuter vehicle. It is roomy inside, I had two snowboards and some other equipment in the back with the back seats folded down and another person on the passenger side, no problem at all.
Simple design, manual transmission, great fuel economy, versatility.
Heated mirrors and nav system. These features are offered in Canada on the same vehicle, why not in US.

"I understand in college, you can't run the New York Jets defense, the entire package. But you can run that style of defense, the way we teach it and play it, you know."
Contrary to popular belief, that doesn't mean WVU will line up purely in a 3-4, Smith emphasized. The Jets are capable of playing with three or four down linemen on any given play, and that trend may continue in Morgantown.
If the former Texas Tech linebacker (who played at that school under Mike Leach when Dana Holgorsen was an assistant there) sounds like he is speaking on the Mountaineers' plans authoritatively, it may be with good reason.
Smith confirmed that he and Holgorsen have discussed the possibility of Smith at least sharing the duties of a defensive coordinator.
"Dana told me some things, but that's something I want to get clear," Smith said, declining to verify a report from the New York Daily News that he will serve as a co-coordinator.
"We still have to know who's coaching what positions with some guys that are coming, some guys we're going to bring in and interview. That's something we've still got to work on, but I just know that I'm going to be at West Virginia."
But not just yet.
Smith was still working at the New York Jets' facilities on Wednesday, wrapping up the last two days of his duties there (he is busily grading free agent outside linebackers to help the team through its offseason) before coming to Morgantown on Friday.
Once at WVU, Smith will formally reunite with Holgorsen, who he said he "immediately hit it off with" when he came to Texas Tech as a player for Leach and Holgorsen's first season there.
Smith said the chance to work with West Virginia's head coach -- someone he called "an extremely loyal person" -- was a significant factor in his decision to eschew opportunities to be a full-time coach either for the Jets (where he said he signed a contract two weeks ago to accept the formal title of outside linebackers coach) or under Leach at Washington State to come to Morgantown instead.
"I was really excited, because he's such a good friend," Smith said. "The thing with Dana was, 'Don't hire me because I'm your friend. Hire me because I'm a good coach.' We made that clear.
"We have a close relationship, but that's not why he's hiring me. He's hiring me because he knows what I bring to the table, knows the system I've been a part of playing and coaching for the last six, seven years. And he knows how hard I work. There won't be a coach in the office that puts in as much time as I will. I have passion for this game. I love it. Being from west Texas and being raised in it, football is really all I know."
The opportunity to come to WVU came about rather quickly, according to Smith. Holgorsen called him and invited him to visit Morgantown this past weekend.
The experience left an impression.
"Being from west Texas and a country guy, I loved the town. I mean, we drove around, saw the big lake everybody lives around, the town -- everything was me. We looked at the facility, and it's a great football facility. And then there's the tradition at West Virginia. They're a good football team. It's not like you're going to some second-tier college. You're going to a good football program, and one where they've been pretty good on defense."
It will be the job of Smith and Joe DeForest (the only two confirmed hires on WVU's rebuilt defensive staff), among others, to follow through that reputation.
Smith was coveted by the Jets' Ryan and Washington State's Leach because of his knowledge as a linebackers coach. Indeed, in New York, Smith said outside linebackers "was my position. I had my room, my meetings."
"That's the thing with the NFL, like it is for college -- there's limited roles for how many people they can hire. [Interning] was a way to get my foot in the door. But I've been coaching those guys for a while now, and the thing with Mike Leach kind of pushed it up. [The Jets] didn't want me to go, so they gave me the official title."
But this time, Smith will go. And almost as soon as he gets to Morgantown, he will quickly turn around and hit the recruiting trail, trying to help WVU finish its class as the first day of the national Letter of Intent signing period looms near.
It will be the first time Smith ever has worked as a recruiter.
"If you've got good people skills and a good knowledge of football, you'll be fine," he said, pointing to the fact that he majored in communications at Texas Tech.
"I don't have a problem of getting in front of kids and starting to talk. That's my personality. That's one of the reasons I think me and Rex get along: I have an outgoing personality. You can tell we have passion for the game, and Dana is the same way. We're kind of from the same breed, you know?"
"I just felt like it was a great fit."

Newt Gingrich Says Nobody Cares About the Right to Privacy, Challenges Obama to 21 Hours of Debates
Spotted at the rally: The best idea we've heard all day.
Rich Abdill
Gingrich insisted that moderators aren't necessary in debates and that the stupid reporters who are
He cited as an example a question from a New Hampshire debate earlier this month in which the candidates were asked about the 1965 Supreme Court case Griswold v. Connecticut, which overturned a Connecticut statute outlawing the sale of contraception. The decision included the now-famous "prenumbra" concept, which basically said that though privacy was not a specifically provided right in the Constitution, the effects of the other rights combine to make one. It's a ruling that's been in effect for decades, and the far right is just itching to overturn it so it can start outlawing women's rights.
Gingrich has adopted a language of certainty regarding his position as the Republican nominee, at one point even making reference to "the next eight years," a line that drew amused chuckles from the audience. He also had several spoiler alerts for the Republican convention in Tampa in August:
Gingrich started his speech criticizing last night's State of the Union address, in particular the part in which Obama advocated once again for the so-called "Buffett Rule," in which anyone making more than $1 million a year would pay a minimum tax rate of 30 percent, including money made as capital gains from investments.

Consequences of using the probability of a false alarm as the false alarm measure
In systems for on-line detection of regime shifts, a process is continually observed. Based on the data available an alarm is given when there is enough evidence of a change. There is a risk of a false alarm and here two different ways of controlling the false alarms are compared: a fixed average run length until the first false alarm and a fixed probability of any false alarm (fixed size). The two approaches are evaluated in terms of the timeliness of alarms. A system with a fixed size is found to have a drawback: the ability to detect a change deteriorates with the time of the change. Consequently, the probability of successful detection will tend to zero and the expected delay of a motivated alarm tends to infinity. This drawback is present even when the size is set to be very large (close to 1). Utility measures expressing the costs for a false or a too late alarm are used in the comparison. How the choice of the best approach can be guided by the parameters of the process and the different costs of alarms is demonstrated. The technique is illustrated by financial transactions of the Hang Seng Index.

Julie Driscoll: It's hard for most of us to comprehend that a candidate would not only fudge the info, but would outright lie in the most extreme, shameless, blatant way that the Romney-Ryan ticket is lying.
Friday Feedback: More Wall Street Trickery
Friday Feedback: This week, go99ers comments on Ellen Brown's analysis of another shady Wall Street practice: interest rate swaps: "This past week, ex- employee of the month Greg Smith said that Goldman-Sachs referred to our local bureaucrats and the gullible suckers at the raw end of a swindle as "muppets." So according to them, WE are all muppets, suckers to be swindled. WOW!!!!"
China, U.S. Square Off in the Eastern Sea
What many viewed as a routine Presidential visit to Australia to finalize an agreement for a new deployment destination of American troops as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq wind down was anything but. Australian Networks Catherine McGrath reported that "post Iraq…America would have a permanent presence in Australia…in the interest of democracy and trade protection…" Prime Minister Julia Gillard stated […]
The Shameful Attack on Public Employees
Robert Reich: Public servants are convenient scapegoats. Republicans would rather deflect attention from corporate executive pay that continues to rise as corporate profits soar, even as corporations refuse to hire more workers.
Midterm Choice: Profiteers or Bureaucrats
Tina Dupuy: When Republicans talk about freedom, they don't mean the freedom to be able to drink clean water piped into your home. When they talk about freedom, they don't mean a job that pays enough to live on. When they talk about freedom, they don't mean not being a victim of predatory lending.
Big Airports and Big Government
Steve Hochstadt: If conservatives have nothing good to say about our government, why don't they let the rest of us figure out how to make our great country even better?
Assessing the Iraq War
Ivan Eland: The Iraq War was not only disastrous, it was one of the worst strategic blunders in the history of U.S. foreign policy. President Obama should not renegotiate the status of forces agreement with any government in Iraq.
The Hidden Story Behind the Sherrod Case: USDA Racism
Pete Daniel: The rush to dismiss Shirley Sherrod based on an edited video contrasts remarkably with the tens of thousands of cases of USDA bureaucrats denying African American farmers loans, jobs, acreage, information, and courtesy who were neither dismissed or reprimanded.
Pot Smokers: The Only Group in History Asking to Be Taxed More
Tina Dupuy: Could pot smokers be the only group in the history of the world to want to be taxed? To hope to be taxed? To specifically ask the government to tax them more?
Rediscovering Principles — But Which Ones?
Ron Wolff: Appointed judges, intellectual and political elites, mainstream journalists, bureaucrats, and Europeans — the customary targets of conservatives — fall victim to his keyboard. He almost equates property rights to the means of pursuing happiness, totally ignoring reams of evidence to the contrary. (As we know from last week's article, nobody expects a correlation any more between belief systems and evidence.)
Boycotting Fox News Advertisers
Complaining to Fox News, or even CNN about Lou Dobbs, for instance, does not always seem productive. Boycotting sponsors/advertisers seems a stronger way to protest.
Cuba and Change We Can Believe In
ne of the most notable characteristics of 21st century Havana is what is not there: obvious and visible destitution. The begging and aggressive peddling prevalent in so many poor Latin capitals (and in most US cities) is entirely absent in Havana. There are no homeless people sleeping under bridges or hidden in doorways, no stumbling […]

Recall date: 2012-05-08
Category: Clothing & Jewelry
Tue, May 8, 2012 (BabyCenter News) -- LANY Group has announced a recall of about 210 girls' hooded sweatshirts in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The recalled sweatshirts have a drawstring at the hood that can pose a strangulation hazard to children. CPSC issued guidelines about drawstrings in children's jackets and sweatshirts in 1996, which became an industry standard the following year and a federal regulation in July 2011.
No injuries have been reported from the jackets.
The recalled "Goddess" hoodies were sold in girls' sizes 4T through 12. They are red with gold hearts, stars, and crowns. "Goddess" is printed on a label at the neck.
They were sold exclusively at DD's Discounts stores nationwide from October 2011 through January 2012. They cost about $6 and were made in China.

I once heard a great pastor from Fayetteville, N.C., teach a message at a conference that explained how Satan attempts to choose his future victims while they are very young. He explained how cruel words, sexual abuse, anger, and other physical and emotional weapons create a hole in the emotions of a person. As the neglect, abuse and sexual sins continue, more holes are punched in the emotions, and the previous holes become bigger and bigger.
Eventually a person feels so unclean inside—so unworthy and rejected—that he or she seeks affirmation through prostitution, a gay lifestyle or even through drugs. That person believes, wrongfully so, that drugs are needed to dull his or her emotions and thus feels better when he or she is high. read more

All About: Concrete Countertops
Material: Concrete
Overview: Concrete countertops are made from a general-purpose mortar mix: one part cement to three parts sand. To avoid the appearance of a sidewalk, concrete countertops can have any color added to them, and must be sealed to make them non-porous and heat- and- stain- resistant. The end result is an industrial looking surface.
Environmental Impact: Cement production and transportation are very energy-intensive, but the impact can be reduced if the aggregate pieces are recycled or locally sourced.
Pros: Heat-resistant; very durable if sealed; shapes, edge details, and texture can be fully customized (i.e. you can add recycled glass or stone pieces into the mixture); can be made to look seamless with a filler.
Cons: MUST be sealed to protect it from stains, water and heat damage, and bacterial growth, but even with sealing moisture or oil can make the countertop look "wet" and sloppy; can be expensive depending on the level of customization required.
Installation: Installation and grinding concrete can generate large quantities of dust, so be sure to take proper health precautions in your home.
Price range: $65 - $135 per square foot, depending on the amount of custom work required.
Kitchn Reader Reviews:
I have them in my rental which leads me to think that I don't have the best ones out there. However, I do kind of hate them. They're sealed but they still stain really easily. I'm always rushing to wipe up any colored spills. I scrub them but they take forever to dry. And leaving a printed food package on a damp spot will leave a very accurate imprint of that package on my counter that will take 20 minutes to scrub off. The worst is oil. It discolors it in a way that I have not been able to remove. - Bklynchic
We have concrete countertops and yes, they were sealed by the manufacturer. Within a month, stains from drops of oil and vinegar from general cooking stained the countertops severely. Every drop is small, so we considered them a patina and sign of our frequent and joyful cooking. However, there are many other stains, many which have an unknown origin. There is a banana outline on the counter, ring marks from various containers, and where the water from the sink drips, a crackled patina. Every where there is a new stain or drop of something, the surface of the concrete changes, where something acidic has spattered, it's very rough to the touch. Ee have tried buffing, sanding, resealing, talking to the concrete manufacturer (now out of business) and nothing has worked. We have had these for less than a year now and have vowed to never get concrete countertops again. They are extremely heavy and were custom built, so replacing them is going to be an expensive and time-consuming upheaval. - Pedalpowered
I'm an avid baker and cook and when my husband and I remodeled our kitchen this year we poured our own concrete countertops. We borrowed the Cheng book from the library and bought some of his products to mix in with our bagged concrete. Although making them was challenging, I would do it again in a heartbeat. I love the look and find that they are not hard to care for. Most of the problems that people mention can be avoided if you use a good wax and also a good sealer. We used Cheng for both and had good results. Concrete can stain, especially if the seal is wearing thin, but we have not had a problem with it even with heavy use. - Gilliang
I've lived with my DIY'd concrete countertops for four years. It is NOT the material for people that want a pristine, perfect looking surface 100% of the time. My taste leans toward character, patina and things that look like they are used and functional, so I love mine. They are what I think of as a living surface. They are not maintenance free. Even if well sealed, citrus juice or other acid will etch them, but this is easily polished away with a 600 or 800 grit diamond hand pad. Oil can and will soak into them. The effect of this probably depends on the color and finish of the tops to begin with. It doesn't bother me (mine are plain, uncolored concrete), and eventually it evens out. I roll out pastry and work with very wet doughs on mine at least once a week. I think it's a fabulous surface for that, comparable to marble. They do require re-sealing and waxing a couple of times a year, but the frequency of this totally depends on the sealer you choose and your tolerance for shiny vs. dull. Mine have NO cracks after 4 years. Cracks are a fabrication issue that CAN be prevented in almost every case... I would do it again in a heartbeat, both the decision to use them and the DIY. - Splatgirl

The opportunity to take care of all commencement needs in one stop- convenient and appreciated. Thank you. To call it an 'extravaganza'- well, maybe stretching the reality. All the same- the vendors, greeters, products and services- spot on! Maybe a bit more 'alumni' apparel from the Bookstore would have been nice to have available.

Corrine Henson left a review 8/28/2012
Some of the sessions could have been omitted from the transfer students. A lot of the sessions seemed pointless for students who have been in college already. The only session that was helpful to me as a transfer was the session with Ms. Bogden because she went over the expectations for us as transfers. I think there should only be one day out of the four for transfers because of the other transfers I talked with, they didn't get a lot of out of the sessions either, so it really didn't feel "required" for us.

When my son was around ten, we discovered that we could access Jay Leno's headlines on the computer. Since we both have a taste for low humor that my husband doesn't share (for example, at one time we could reconstruct the "Asshole" routine from "Spaceballs" verbatim), and because I work late on Wednesday evenings and miss dinner, we developed a private Wednesday night ritual: I come home and fix a light meal for myself, and then we pull up the headlines and laugh hysterically as I eat.

The end of the year offers some time to review the previous year and think about teaching. I am thankful for all the students who are engaged and generally want to learn.

These students make me work more to catch their interest and attention in the subject matter and in the discipline of Political Science.

This time of year, I take a break from my higher-ed wonkery and indulge in gadget wonkery. It's the Consumer Electronics Show! (Sadly, I'm not there. Just musing...)Unfortunately, the folks at CES seem to be obsessed with the wrong problems. I'm not waiting with bated breath for the forty-seventh variation on an Android tablet. I don't especially care about 3D tv, and all the cool 4G stuff just serves to remind me that my neck of the woods barely has 3G. Any time y'all would like to leave to cozy confines of New York City and San Francisco, feel free...

I am a Basecamp failure. I have failed at Basecamp. I have failed 37 Signals. Today I cancelled my Basecamp account. I admitted defeat, and in this space I own up to my inadequacies.Basecamp is terrific. Elegant, simple and affordable software. The fault must lie with me.

Grades from last semester are only a distant memory for most of us, but, as a new semester stretches out before us, I find myself thinking about last semester's classes. I am particularly interested in feedback on an idea I have had for several years.

Two items of good news for the environment, one of them potentially very significant.

I ended last semester with 58 student research papers to read and grade in 10 days. 700 (digital) pages to digest, analyze and write comments for. After staying up until 6:00 AM on the last night that grades were due, I wondered to myself, "What's my problem with multiple choice exams?"

A new correspondent writes:What happens when a community college Human Resources department receives application materials for a job (in this case, a Deanship) and never passes them onto the respective hiring committee? I have evidence that this recently happened in my case, and have written to the office many times without a response. I even wrote the President of the college, whom I had met once about six years ago: no response there either.I mean, I might not have gotten the job anyway, but this seems . . . very curious. Do I have any recourse here?
