I recently went to a dinner party organized by a military spouses club. The food was very good and the evening was pleasant, until someone sitting at my table started talking about how we should separate enlisted men's wives and officers' wives into two distinct clubs.
"Why?" I asked, and the friendly yet misinformed spouse told me, "You know, fraternization."
This was not a new spouse, someone whose husband just joined the military, but a seasoned military wife. Surely, I thought, she didn't mean what she said.
I told her, "That's really for active-duty. For spouses it doesn't matter," but she continued on with her theory about working things out more efficiently in smaller groups, having more in common with wives whose husbands are in similar situations. I guess in her mind that meant similar rank. I ended the conversation by telling her I remained convinced it was a bad idea.
I have seen this phenomenon in the military and civilian worlds. A spouse, usually a woman, finds her self-worth and identity in her husband's job and feels entitled to wear his rank, or flaunt his position to everyone around. Unfortunately this happens a lot.
Often, in military circles, when someone asks me personal questions, I notice that they are trying to figure out what my husband does.
It's understandable, though I usually start talking about what I do or my children or the fact that I came from Italy, or anything else that will bring the focus back to who I am rather than what my husband does.
This is not to say that I am not extremely proud of him. There may be people or circumstances when it's appropriate to share an accomplishment, for example when I am talking to my sister, my close friend, or my husband's childhood buddy.
But most of the time, it shouldn't matter. With all of the moves, changes and business of our days, it's hard enough to find time to talk and appreciate friends, let alone worry about what their spouses do.
Truthfully, isn't this focus on status another form of closed-mindedness, or worse, classism?
I don't ignore the fact there are differences between someone who runs a unit and a newly enlisted soldier. I don't pretend that when I am talking to my husband's boss's wife I don't feel certain hesitancy in showing the state of chaos in my home.
But at the same time, I can't take rank or position into consideration when making friends. In doing so, I begin a dishonest friendship and miss out on the opportunity to find others who share true affinities with me.
It's challenging enough for women, busy with work, family and responsibilities, to find time for friends. We don't have to throw rank or status into the equation.

As a gambler, I work on hunches (unless playing blackjack!) so I would probably stick to my first choice - my hunch, which was good enough for me at 25:1, must be even better at evens! Now, I only have one chance of being wrong.
And you still cannot be sure of my sex - of the eleven people attending my local GA group, five are women._________________________

There was a 4% chance that your choice (box #7) was right. You haven't changed your choice, and the people in boxes #7 and #8 haven't moved, so there is still only a 4% chance that your choice is right. Since the woman is either in box #7 or box #8, there must therefore be a 96% chance that she is in box #8. So you should definitely change to box #8!
Here is another way of looking at it. You chose box #7 at random. However, if you were wrong (which you almost certainly were), the gameshow host chose box #8 knowing that it was right. So box #8 is almost certainly right.

No need to apologize, Ivy, this discussion is only an interlude until someone can make a rhyme.
AC, I say "yes". Always switch your one in twenty-five to your fifty-fifty choice.
Ask yourself what are the odds of the right box being directly on either side of your #7 ? One in twelve, right? Pretty high odds so your boxmaster might (if he thinks you are bright) try to trick you into a switch from your #7 by placing a man's box next to the woman's number. [Maybe that's what you said but I am confused by your math]
And Wofahulic, you are right, the beautiful woman with a flaw is Hillary Clinton who insisted she be called "beautiful" and lied when she said she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. Nice trick. Hillary Rodam Clinton was born in 1947 and Sir Edmund climbed Everest in 1953. Which brings us to our Hilary.
Either me, or Rubarb, is trying to find his or her sex nitch.
Ok, Rube, answer this question: Are you a woman?
You show me yours and I'll show you mine.

It called its creation

Thanks, Rhuby. Suddenly realized I started us rolling with nothing in the subject line. By the time I tried to fix it it was too late. Something like "She's Way Cool!"

All good here...of course. Anu might make them into a book
And Peter...you could edit your work and add 'She's Way Cool' as title...if you wanted too.

Karl Fitzpatrick has played his last game for Salford City Reds and is planning a new career in rugby union.
He was hoping to bring the curtain down on his eight-year stint at The Willows against Wakefield on Sunday week but a wrist injury has brought a premature end to his season and possibly his rugby league career.
Now he is about to take up an offer from Preston Grasshoppers as full-time strength and conditioning coach.
Fitzpatrick was always a decent player in an appauling Salford setup, but injuries have blighted his career.
Sad way to leave the game.

Fitzpatrick has been an excellent full-back and a loyal servant to Salford over the years. As Wendall says, though, his recent run of injuries has restricted his effectiveness. Good luck, Karl! And thanks for the memories.

Always wondered why he didn't sign for Wigan a few seasons ago when the chance came - presumably because he was offered peanuts. Would have been interesting.

Jefferson has state's lowest jobless rate
MARTINSBURG – Jefferson County recorded the lowest unemployment rate of West Virginia's 55 counties in July, according to a report released Friday by Workforce West Virginia.
Berkeley and Morgan counties' jobless rates both decreased.
Jefferson County surpassed Monongalia County for the lowest jobless rate in the state last month. Monongalia County had held the title for several years.
The unemployment rate in Jefferson County was 4.1 percent, a decline of one-tenth of 1 percent from June. Monongalia County's rate was unchanged at 4.2 percent.
The total number of Jefferson County residents who had jobs in July went up by 100 from June for a total of 24,310. The total number of residents without jobs went down by 10 to 1,040.
Jefferson County lost 10 goods-producing jobs in July for a total of 1,490, but gained 100 service-providing jobs for a total of 13,990.
Berkeley County's unemployment rate dropped to 5.6 percent in July, a decrease of one-half of 1 percent from June.
Total employment for Berkeley County residents was up by 300 for a total of 44,950, and total unemployment was down by 230 for a total of 2,650.
Forty goods-producing jobs were added to Berkeley County's rolls in July for a total of 2,690, while 110 service-providing jobs were added for a total of 28,750.
Morgan County's unemployment rate declined by three-fifths of 1 percent from June to July to 5.2 percent.
However, the number of county residents with jobs and the number without jobs was a net zero. There were 6,960 residents with jobs in July, which was up by 50 from June. There were 380 residents without jobs, which was down by 50.
Also, Morgan County lost 70 jobs from for a total of 3,090. Workforce West Virginia does not publish the number of goods-producing and service-providing jobs in Morgan County.
These figures would suggest that more Morgan County residents found work outside the county last month than the month before. This has been a trend in Morgan County for several years.
Pocahontas County reported the greatest unemployment rate decrease in July, going down 1.4 percent to 7.8 percent.
McDowell County had the greatest rate increase, going up 1.1 percent to 10.4 percent.
Webster saw the highest jobless rate at 10.9 percent, which was a decrease of three-tenths of 1 percent.
Unemployment rates climbed in 16 counties, fell in 30 counties and were unchanged in nine counties.
Statewide, the unemployment rate in July was 6.2 percent, down by one-tenth of 1 percent from June.
All figures are preliminary and are not seasonally adjusted.

Bennington school budget revote will be May 21May 02,2013By Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer
BENNINGTON — After cutting its rejected budget by more than $575,000, the Bennington School Board approved on Wednesday a proposed budget of $12,940,745 to be put before voters on May 21.
Members of the Bennington School Board approved the budget proposal unanimously.
There will be an informational meeting about the budget on May 20 with the vote on the budget, to take place by Australian ballot, the next day. Voting will be at the Bennington fire facility, the same location as the vote in March.
During the Town Meeting Day vote, the Bennington School District budget, which was proposed at $13,518,802, was
rejected by a vote of 1,095-915. While several school budgets around Vermont were defeated this year, Bennington was the only budget defeated in Bennington County.
The Mount Anthony Union School District, which runs the middle and high schools in Bennington, was also defeated in Bennington but received enough support in the other towns it covers, North Bennington, Pownal, Shaftsbury and Woodford, to be passed.
The March budget proposal was an increase of $2,158,689, or 19 percent, over the $11,360,113 budget passed in
The budget proposal approved last night will be an increase of $1,580,632, or almost 14 percent, over the current budget.
The school board has cut $578,057 from the budget proposal defeated in March to reach the new proposed budget.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

A simple stroll by Trempealeau Elementary School students through the city streets encouraged Trempealeau area families and businesses to come running.
"I don't think we expected to raise this much," said Gail Jansen, Trempealeau Elementary PTO member.
The school's PTO wanted to hold a fundraiser to help buy new fitness equipment.
"We've sold so many thing like wrapping paper and pizzas," said Jansen. "I think people were kind of tired of doing it, and with this economy we thought what do we want to do?"
Well, it just so happens that the month of May is dedicated to get people moving. So, the PTO decided to use this theme pair it with their need for sports equipment and create a fundraiser called Trekking Through Trempealeau.
"May is fitness month. So, in honor of fitness month, we wanted to get the people out walking," said Jill Bratberg, Trempealeau Elementary PTO member.
"We walked three miles through Trempealeau and came here for some snacks," said Braeden Jacobs, 4th grade student.
The Pre-kindergartners through second graders committed to walk 1 mile. The 3rd through 5th graders walked 3 miles. The students collected pledges for their commitment and the PTO went to community businesses.
"We asked probably 40 sponsors," said Bratberg. "We said the minimum of $50 would get you on the back of our t-shirt. Well, about 30 more people came out of the woodwork. So, we have 70 sponsors."
This outpouring of support from neighbors and businesses helped the school more than double their fundraising goal.
"All I can say is Trempealeau is a great place to live, and if you ask them they deliver," said Jansen.
"I would do it again because it's really fun and you exercise a lot," said Alanna Peters, 4th grade student.
A fundraiser that really worked-out well for everyone.

Many years ago, I went to sea for an extended period on USS Triton. She was the largest submarine in the world at the time (402 feet long). Displayed in the wardroom was a plaque with the (approximate) Latin phrase: "Ave nobilis dux, iterum factum est." I was told that this plaque commemorated the Triton's submerged circumnavigation of the world, and the Latin, loosely translated, meant "Hail noble warriors, we have done it again." (Alluding to Magellens's circumnavigtion of the globe). The plaque was specifically designed for public presentation to the government of Spain.
The story, as told to me, is that an error in spelling caused the Latin phrase to come out: "Ave nobilis dux, iterum sactum est." (Loosely translated: "Hail noble warriors, we've been had again)," causing much embarrassment for the U.S. and much amusement for the Spanish. I've often wondered whether the Latin phrases cited give credence to the story.

For starters, "dux" is nominative singular, and means
leader, if I remember correctly.

iterum factum est -- It's been done again.

Agree with both Bill and Bingley. It translates as "Yo, top dawg, we've done it again." I can't find any Latin word which begins with either "sac" or "sact" and is neuter in gender. In fact, no Latin nouns begin with either kind of stem.

It looks more like the fourth principle part of a verb, either sago, sagere, segi, sactum on the model of ago, agere, egi, actum or sacio, sacere, seci, sactum on the model of facio, facere, feci, factum but I can't find anything for either of those WAGs. The closest I come is sacrum which could mean accursed if dux were neuter.

Multiple vertebrae fuse at the lower end of the spinal column, to form a large triangular bone called the Sacrum. So called because it was considered, 'sacred' - the soul or the concentration of spiritual energy is supposed to reside here.
Incidentally, this also ties in with Hindu philosophy that believes that the life force is concentrated in the form of a tightly coiled knot of energy called, Kundalini, at the base of the spine. One of the purposes of Yoga and transcendental meditation is to attempt to elevate this energy through successive levels of the vertebral column; each level achieved thus, corresponding to a more exalted spiritual and mental well being of the individual.

People don't always know what they have in their yard. If somebody else put in most of the flowers and bushes in your landscaping, it's easy just to let them stay where they are. Trouble is, some plants that were popular in landscapes in the past are now recognized as being environmental problems. They spread fast and choke out native plants, reducing the food supply for birds and animals. Here are a few common ones, as well as tips on how to get rid of them.
These large bushes or small trees were introduced from Europe back in the 1840's for hedges and animal forage. With no natural enemies, the plants spread rapidly. They form large stands of bushes that green up sooner and stay green longer than native plants, so they choke them out. While buckthorn is illegal to buy in some states, it's sold in others. You can recognize Common or European Buckthorn by its black berries, grayish bark, and oval leaves with toothy ridges.
If you have buckthorn in your yard, make cuts in the trunk and spray them with a product such as Roundup� Poison Ivy Plus Tough Brush Killer.
You can replace your buckthorn with bushes that are friendly to birds and native plants. Chokeberry and Juneberry are good candidates and available at many garden centers.
These invaders from Europe first came over to North America as ship ballast and because they looked pretty in gardens. They long ago escaped their garden confines and now can be seen infesting wetlands, ditches, and streams all over the eastern US. Purple loosestrife stands from four to six feet tall with thin spikes of magenta flowers. Surprisingly, these plants are still sold in stores in many states. They're highly aggressive, and quickly dominate ecosystems, depriving wildlife of diverse food sources, and killing off native plants.
For purple loosestrife on dry ground, you can hand-pull it or spray it with a glysophate-containing herbicide, such as Roundup� Weed & Grass Killer. If you have some near a body of water, hand-pull them when they haven't yet produced seeds (one plant can produce 10,000 seeds).
Avoid buying cultivars of purple loosestrife, since even the so-called sterile ones can still pollinate their wild cousins. A better choice would be to plant blazing star, which has similar shape and coloring.
Honeysuckle bushes were introduced as garden plants as early as the 1700's. They didn't stay put. Nowadays, you often see Morrow, Armur, and Tartarian Honeysuckle Bushes in the wooded areas of city parks and roadsides. Spread by birds, they choke out lower-canopy trees, bushes, and flowers. You can recognize them by their oval leaves and small white flowers.
Since these bushes can just show up, thanks to birds, keep an eye out for baby bushes sprouting in your flower beds. Hand-pull the little ones, and treat the big ones with Roundup� Poison Ivy Plus Tough Brush Killer. Be sure to cover all the leaves, taking care not to spray the plants you like.
If you want a dense, pretty bush that feeds birds and produces flowers, chokeberry, inkberry, and serviceberry will do the job.
There are over 50,000 exotic plants that have been introduced to this country. Most of them stay quiet, but some, like kudzu, garlic mustard, and aquatic milfoil, can cause serious problems. You state's department of natural resources has information on the biggest problem plants in your area. Visit their web site to find out what you can do to help.

Beekeeping bill approved in committee
September 26, 2012 —
HARRISBURG, PA — Legislation authored by Rep. Sandra Major to allow Pennsylvania beekeepers to sell their product from the site where it is processed without the need to pay registration and licensing fees was unanimously passed by the House Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee on September 24 and sent to the full House for a vote.
Specifically, House Bill 2565 would exempt from food establishment registration and retail food facility licensing any person who is in compliance with the Honey Sale and Labeling Act and who processes 100 percent of the honey products offered to the public on the farm from which the products are offered. Honey products offered at locations other than the farm of origin are not exempt.
"This issue was first brought to my attention by a group of beekeepers in my legislative district. The issue impacts the ability of beekeepers across the entire Commonwealth who wish to sell honey to consumers," said Major. "It would seem the registration process and fee needed in order to sell honey could hamper the ability of beekeepers to sell the product resulting from beekeeping, which beekeepers often use to cover the cost of their hobby."

State Board celebrates success of 11 Central Illinois Honor Roll Schools
Annual list recognizes improving and high-performing schools across state
DANVILLE — Illinois State Board of Education Chairman Gery J. Chico, Board member David Fields and State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch recognized 11 Ford, Champaign and Vermilion County schools today for being named to the 2011 Illinois Honor Roll. The schools were honored during a school assembly at Northeast Magnet Elementary School in Danville.
"This is a remarkable list of 11 schools that have maintained or improved academic performance amid rising benchmarks and a tough economy,'' said Chairman Chico. "We hope students, educators, parents and community members will celebrate their success because they are the ones responsible for these good and improving results."
Chairman Chico, Board member Fields and State Superintendent Koch also toured Danville's New Tech High School campus earlier in the day. The school, opened at the onset of the 2009-10 school year, emphasizes project-based learning and technology within small class sizes. State Board members visit innovative schools across the state as they work to develop educational priorities and ensure all students are prepared to succeed in college and careers.
The 2011 Illinois Honor Roll recognizes 703 schools across the state for their continued academic progress. The honor roll is divided into three categories – Spotlight Schools, Academic Excellence and Academic Improvement. Each award has unique criteria that best reflect the diverse circumstances of Illinois schools.
- Spotlight Schools – Recognizes 167 high-poverty, high-performing schools that are beating the odds to overcome the achievement gap.
- Academic Excellence Awards – 438 schools have sustained high performance over at least three years.
- Academic Improvement Awards – 114 schools are showing substantial improvement.
The 11 schools honored Friday:
- Armstrong-Ellis Consolidated SD 61
- Bismark Henning CUSD
- Catlin CUSD 5
- Danville CCSD 118
- Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley CUSD 5
- Gifford CCSD 188

F*** at this point lets c what Curry has to offer. Lee and Curry were not bad together, but Lee just has surpassed him so much.
We need bodies anyway, let's just see. if he plays decent then perhaps a trade can go through or he will opt out.
this smells like the Showcase on The Price is Right!!! In other words, if we want to trade him, we have to play him!!! Or maybe D'Antoni was inspired by Shaq's recent words on Curry... NOT!!!
by Marc Berman (azzhole) in today's NYPOST
With Christmas around the corner, here comes the return of Eddy CurryEddy Curry . The KnicksNew York Knicks ' former starting center is back in coach Mike D'Antoni's plans and could make his season debut in less than two weeks.
Curry confirmed he is on track to join the team full tilt in practice in a little more than a week. After that, "It's up to the coach when he thinks I'm ready to play," he said.
Because of a bruised right knee, Curry hasn't practiced since the regular season began but may start doing on-court drills on Christmas Day, when the club returns to practice.
In a rare interview, Curry told The Post he's genuinely excited about this return. That is a departure from past interviews when Curry seemed resigned to his banished fate, despondent his knee was not healing. He ticked off the coaching staff originally by reporting to training camp well over 300 pounds.
"I'm excited, I'm ready to get back," Curry told The Post. "I'm definitely excited."
Knicks president Donnie Walsh said at practice yesterday Curry "wants to play" and thinks he'll join practice in about one week.
The 7-foot Curry yesterday finished a three-week program during which he was injected with a shot in his knee once a week - a lubricant that has lessened his pain. His final injection was yesterday. In late September, he took a cortisone shot that failed to work.
"I talked to [D'Antoni] a couple of times," Curry said. "He really assured me he wants me to be part of what's going on and for me not to lose my concentration and stay in it mentally and keep trying to work hard so when I come back I'm not too far behind. I'm glad he's anticipating my return."
Curry's season-long inactivity has been less dissected than Stephon Marbury's banishment. Curry habitually dodges reporters. He rarely sits on the bench during games. Though he's been their starting center for three seasons, it seemed fait accompli he didn't fit D'Antoni's program.
Several factors have changed the organization's thinking on Curry, not the least of which is their 11-16 record and four-game losing streak. The trade of Zach RandolphZach Randolph eliminated their lone low-post presence. More important, Randolph and Curry proved they could not play together last season. Without Randolph, Curry can play with the same reckless abandon he displayed during his exceptional 2006-2007 season.
In addition, D'Antoni is realizing 6-11 Jared Jeffries, whom he envisioned as a potential starting center, is not the answer to the Knicks' height woes. Jeffries' lack of durability has become troubling.
Also, Wilson Chandler is wearing down in his first full season. D'Antoni realizes a seven-, eight -man rotation is too taxing for his speedball style. Curry would give the Knicks a sturdy nine-man rotation and enough size where they won't get as overpowered against bigger teams.
Curry will beat rookie Danilo Gallinari back to the court. The Italian Stallion said he won't return to practice until about Jan. 21 when his eight-week exercise program for his back is completed.

please god CURRY no dont do this god ples is lik worse nightmare of dirk is true
Please bring back the NYK intro from the 1994 Finals...PLEASE!!!!
C is for Curry, whos good enough for me..... after 5 straight losses Im ready for the cookie monster to come back and see what he can doo.
C is for Curry,
You guy's are killing me this morning ......... I just wish Eddy would come back as slim looking as the Cookie Monster in this picture !
" It's a new era for the Knicks "
as long as McDonalds, Burger King, Arbys, and White Castle are in business it aint happening OKG
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Curry is so fat, this guy better get off his azz soon so that we dont have to keep calling him an embarrassment since his great year averaging 19 ppg. Since that year he has stunk to rock bottom and hasnt recovered. get up and stop eating those dollar menu cheese burgers that you take advantage of Curry.
We have no big men and u sitting on the bench thinking about ur dinner tonight and dreaming about how good you actually could have been in the NBA isnt helping us because you arent doing anything. Your wasting our money....atleast Jerome James is playing again. Thats sad.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Eddy Curry's career is done, at age 26. There's no way he's going to bounce back from being 30 pounds overweight and having an injured knee. He's done. The Knicks should try to trade him now, because if they try to play him, teams will see just how horrible he is, and they won't trade for him.
Jeremon Linbury
30 pounds and one injury isnt so bad, lots of players came back from much worse. besides, Mahorn used to actually get some great value out of his huge butt with Detroit Bad Boys, pushing everyone around with it
but Curry just doesnt seem to care.... if u dont care one bit, u may be D-Howard clone and suk.
maybe he'll start caring a bit in his contract year, 2010-11, but till then, we better trade him out
um....26? how old is jamario moon? isnt he like 26 as well?
isnt david lee 25? isnt chandler 25?
curry is still young.
not a fair assessment to say he's done
Chandler is 21
and in order for Curry to save his career he needs to change his habits and look like it'll happen

i cant believe im sayin this nd meanin it....i want curry to play

How do I install firmware on a formatted H10 6GB?
I have two 6GB H10's (MTP version). One of them is working fine with Rockbox installed over OF 2.51. The other, however, has been formatted and the following is the situation:
1) When I start it, I get the Missing System Files message.
2) When I then plug in the USB cable to the computer (a PPC Mac running Leopard), it mounts the H10 as a drive (i.e., in UMS/MSC mode).
3) I've tried various methods of installing the firmware, including:
a) copying the System folder from the working player, along with the .rockbox folder, to the root level of the player;None of these methods have worked.
I should also mention that, although both the working and non-working players show, via fdisk, one partition that starts at sector 63 and has length 11718945, the contents of the first 64 sectors of the two /dev/diskn files, as copied using dd, are very different. In particular, the first $1BF (447) bytes on the non-working player are all zeroes, while those on the working player include lots of pseudo-random binary data as well as the following three null-terminated strings:
"Invalid partition table"
"Error loading operating system"
"Missing operating system"
I'd really like to know, ASAP, how to install the firmware, and how, if it is in fact necessary, to correct the first 63 sectors of the disk as well. (dd apparently won't write to them.)
|[Remove Advertisement]
I was able to get the second player working by cloning the working one. I had to do a device clone, not a volume clone. On my Mac, I created the disk image (.dmg file) using Disk Utility, but was only able to write the image file to the second device using a program called CopyCatX, since Disk Utility seemed to only allow writing to a volume, not an entire device. (It may be that I was doing something wrong, however.)
In any case, dd showed the contents of the first 64 sectors of the two devices to be the same after cloning. Whether or not it's the change in these sectors that allows the second player to work, or if there was another change that is not visible, I'm not sure. And it would still be useful to know how to get a player working if you don't have another one to clone.

But he took it and ran!
This tree thing was completely his idea, and I may have wet my pants a little when he jumped up there.
I mean, how could anyone even tell the difference between us and the real Edward and Bella?!?
Babygirl is a hoot, too, and we tried to convince her to be our little Baby Twilight,
but she had her heart set on Rapunzel. I'm not sure what my son's costume is...anything that allows him to look scary, I guess.
We had a great time with our friends, and I jumped at the chance to make Mini-Mummy Dogs and chocolate cupcakes.
Happy Halloween!! I hope all your vampire dreams come true tonight!

The story highlights the use of DNA testing by 'employers'–Major League Baseball franchises. Baseball tests to verify the ages and identities of players from Latin America, but the test samples can also be used to detect familial genetic dieseases such as ALS (which Lou Gehrig had).
• "DNA contains a host of information about risks for future diseases that prospective employers might be interested in discovering and considering," said Kathy Hudson, the director of the Genetics and Public Policy Center and an associate professor at Johns Hopkins University. "The point of GINA was to remove the temptation and prohibit employers from asking or receiving genetic information."
The big problem is that the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act (GINA) does not stop employers or insurers from receiving or using genetic information. It isn't enforceable.
Baseball players are not the only ones whose DNA and genetic tests can be used against them–the same thing can happen to all of us.
According to GINA, employers and insurers can't use genetic tests to discriminate against employees or enrollees in health plans, but there is no way to tell whether they do or not. Employers and insurers do not have to inform us if they have copies of our genetic or DNA records.
• Do you think an employer is going to tell you were passed over for a promotion based on your DNA?
GINA is toothless–it forbids bad behavior but there is no way to enforce it.
And Americans' genetic privacy is not protected by HIPAA. HIPAA makes it impossible for any of us to prevent OUR sensitive health information from being used by millions of 'covered entities' and 'business associates' for purposes we would never agree with–including using genetic tests to discriminate againts us.
Face Book users control who sees the personal information they post on their walls, but Americans can't control who sees their electronic health information. What's wrong with this picture?
The rules for spending $19 Billion on health IT are being written now. Now is the time we must press to restore control over OUR personal health data.
Stay tuned–sign up for our alerts and we'll tell you what you can do to save privacy.

Seeing Quadruple
While creating my last blog post, I wanted to check some information on Mike Stutes' college career. So I did what everyone does these days, and googled "Michael Stutes". In the results for images, I noticed one that looked very familiar:
This was a photo I took in August 2009, and used in a subsequent blog post. But when I hovered my cursor over the photo, I noticed it wasn't from my blog, but from a site called Bleacher Report. So I clicked on it and found this:
I also noticed an option to search by image.
I was a bit surprised to find two more sites that were using the same picture. Here it is on Phuture Phillies:
And here on phillysports.com:
The curious thing is that my photo first appeared in 2009, and all three of these posts are from 2011. I have to imagine that there were other/newer (better?) pictures of Stutes out there for scavenging.
Nonetheless, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so I suppose I should be flattered that these three sites liked my picture enough to use it. I just wish at least one of them would have given me/my blog proper credit!

Why those little so-and-sos! Not cool at all!!
I'm sure I've seen my pictures other places too. It is very uncool. Nice picture.
You have copyright rights in anything you write, all photos, etc., even if you don't have a copyright symbol on your blog site. You can politely write to the sites that have pirated your photos and ask them to take them down. If they don't do that, you can pursue their hosts. If that doesn't work, you can file a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) complaint. Of course, it is easier to defend a copyright if you display a copyright symbol on your page. Here is a link to get one that embeds in your footer: http://www.blogtrafficexchange.com/blog-copyright/
You should definitely write to all three sites and ask them to at least give you and your blog credit. And barring that they should take them down.

Fan Voted top 33 all time at the INDY 500
Racing fans selected their dream lineup of the 33 greatest drivers in Indianapolis 500 history from March 18-May 14 at thegreatest33.com. The top 33 drivers in the balloting were revealed Sunday, May 15 during practice for the 100th Anniversary Indianapolis 500.
"It's only fitting that the three greatest legends of the Indianapolis 500, A.J. Foyt, Rick Mears and Al Unser, are leading 'The Greatest 33' to the green flag," said Jeff Belskus, Indianapolis Motor Speedway president and CEO. "We hope the fans have really enjoyed picking their perfect starting lineup and sharing their memories about the drivers who have created 100 years of history at the world's greatest race."
Foyt, the first four-time winner, earned the highest score of any driver, followed by Mears and Unser.
Occupying the second row are three-time winners Bobby Unser, Helio Castroneves and Johnny Rutherford. 1969 winner Mario Andretti, three-time winner Wilbur Shaw and two-time winner Bill Vukovich are in the third row.
Three current Indianapolis 500 competitors are among The Greatest 33, Helio Castroneves (fifth), Dario Franchitti (19th) and Scott Dixon (33rd).
The Greatest 33 program and its interactive website are key components of the 100th Anniversary Indianapolis 500, scheduled for Sunday, May 29 at IMS.
Fans chose their Greatest 33 from a list of 100 drivers pre-selected by an esteemed panel of international motorsports media and historians. Statistics, audio from IMS Historian Donald Davidson and images from the vast IMS photo archive were available for each of the 100 candidates, providing hours of entertaining content. A section of the site allowed fans to compare the statistics of up to five drivers simultaneously, helping make those tough final picks.
A wide variety of daily, weekly and grand prizes also are being awarded to fans at the site. Although voting has ended, fans can continue to enter the sweepstakes at thegreatest33.com for chances to win prizes through race day, May 29.

Comments: these jigs or top notch watermelon chart can't go wrong will catch them year round

From: Ikaika: Fort Peck, MT
Comments: This is the best jig on the market, bar none! I have been fishing for a living for 30 years and tried them all. Combined with a Grandebass Megaclaw, they produced some of the biggest bass in Delaware for the entire year.
From: Steve: Lewes, DE
Comments: Starting from cranks, T-rigged worms and baby brush hogs decided to be more of a jig fishermen since they catch bigger hawgs. This Jig has very great details with skirt image the bass can see different colors vs a two-tone color. So Ive had luck with them at my local pond missed only one bite didnt set the hook upward was like to the side but anyhow the skirt came off the jig dont know how it didnt hook it self must of been a small one haha anways well be ordering more and definite watermelon is a must ! I like to use a rage craw for a trailer and also a chigger craw, i havent gotten any good jig bites on the power team lures, nor the grande bass mega claws. oh yea dont forget the sweetbeaver 420 son son ! black and blue flake california 420 !
From: Brian
Comments: Three word can describe these jigs: Quality and detail. Probably the best jigs I own. The quality of the components are second to none. This jig is my workhorse. The colors have that custom look to them too. "Definite Watermelon" is awesome in clear water. They make the best "Black & Blue" color too... not your garden variety version.

Construction on the Pentagon started on Sept. 11, 1941, in the midst of World War II. The five-sided design was chosen to accommodate existing roads around the building's original site near Arlington National Cemetery; a different site was ultimately picked, but the design was kept, according to the History Channel.
The Pentagon officially opened in January 1943 to house what was at that time called the War Department.
On Sept. 11, 2001, the Pentagon became the third target of terrorists who hijacked airliners.
The plane that crashed into the Pentagon penetrated the building's outer three rings, killing 125 people in the building and 89 people on the plane, including the five hijackers.
Construction to repair the Pentagon began quickly after the attacks. Dubbed "The Phoenix Project," the goal was to have most work completed by Sept. 11, 2012.
Workers started moving back into the rebuilt section of the Pentagon in August 2002, and the final tenants were back in that section in February 2003.
Work started on a memorial to those killed in the Sept. 11 attacks in 2006.
The National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial opened on the 2008 anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. It features 184 benches, each one etched with the name of a victim who died at the Pentagon. Each bench sits above its own reflection pool.

By Koren, Pure Matters
Remember when you were little and 40 sounded SO old? Today is my 40th birthday and suddenly 40 doesn't seem old at all. It seems, well, fabulous. Here are a few things (okay, more than a few, but it is my birthday, so please indulge me) I've learned along this 40-year journey:
Invest In a Good Haircut – You wear your hair every, single day. If you can drop $100 for some killer heels you only wear occasionally, you can splurge on your hair.
Wash Your Hair Every 3 Days (at most) – As we age, our hair gets drier, so washing it daily just dries it out more. Wash it a few times per week and if your scalp gets oily in between washes, just dab it with a little rubbing alcohol. If you have lighter hair like I do, dash some baby powder on the roots for a quick fresher upper.
Choose Soft Over Hard – Dr. Phil says to be a "soft place to land" which is my goal when dealing with my friends and family. Be accepting, warm and inclusive. This same rule applies to your physical self -- softer is better as you age. Those few extra pounds fill out the wrinkles (stole this one from my mom). Have you ever noticed how really skinny women look older? A few extra pounds is actually a good thing and makes us more feminine.
Wear Sunscreen and Get Spray Tans – Oh I wish I had known this during my trip to Hawaii where I wore suntan oil (no SPF) while snorkeling. My backside hurts just thinking about it. And sure, a tan looks great, but being a wrinkled prune 20 years later doesn't. That being said, everyone looks better with a tan, so get a spray tan, preferably by someone who knows what they are doing.
Baby Your Skin – Unfortunately, breakouts aren't reserved for the young. Just because you're out of your teens doesn't mean your skin miraculously clears up. I still get pimples, often. Yes, pimples and wrinkles at the same time, which I don't think should be allowed by nature. And don't pick at your face -- if you pick, it will scar. And yes, those scars are with you for life. Lastly, spend more to get quality skincare products. I learned this relatively recently and boy, does it make a difference.
Sleep Matters – In my twenties, I could get by on a few hours of sleep and it wouldn't bother me. Now, if I get under 7 hours, I'm groggy and have bags under my eyes. I used to be able to sleep anywhere, with any amount of noise. Now, if my dog breathes too loudly, I wake up. And nap any time you get a chance. I cannot believe I ever fought nap time.
Establish Healthy Habits – Floss nightly. Workout daily. Take your vitamins and fish oil. Stop being an irresponsible procrastinator and just do it.
Get and Stay Strong – After age 45, we lose 1 percent of our muscle mass per year. Why is this an issue? Because muscle burns calories and I want to be able to eat as many calories as possible and still maintain a healthy weight. By lifting weights, you can help maintain muscle, while boosting bone strength (bonus!).
Keep Moving – A body in motion stays in motion. It is so much easier to maintain a level of fitness from youth into adulthood than to try to get it back after 20 years on the couch. Stay active, take yoga, walk whenever possible, take the stairs, play with your kids, break a sweat and occasionally push yourself to where you are uncomfortable.
Warm Up and Stretch – Older folks are just more injury prone and when they do get injured it takes longer to heal, so take those extra few minutes to warm up and cool down. You'll be thankful you did.
Try Something Again – Just because you couldn't or wouldn't do something when you were younger, doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't do it now. Growing up, I couldn't do a cartwheel to save my life. Now, I can (thank you core strength training!).
Flaws Make You Memorable – I hated my nose and overbite growing up. Now I love my smile and am thrilled that it isn't a perfectly porcelain veneered celebrity smile. Mom always said those flawless teeth looked liked Chicklets anyway.
Smile — Speaking of smiles…smile even if you don't feel like it. A smile always makes you look better.
Breathe – Deep, belly breaths have a calming effect and can even reduce your blood pressure. When stressed, take five deep breaths and recenter yourself. Calm is sexy.
Savor Good Moments And Good Food – Life truly is too short to pass on birthday cake and chocolate chip cookies. That being said, life isn't about eating everything put in front of you. Be selective…and when you choose something because you love it, savor it.
Accept Yourself Today – I thought I was fat in my twenties and now I look at those pictures and think, darn I looked pretty good. If only I had known it then. I also thought I was fat in my thirties…you get where I'm going with this? At 40, I finally have accepted myself, even my nose. And I know that at 50, I won't be looking back wishing I had appreciated my 40-year old self.
This is just a partial list. I'm sure there are so many things I still need to learn. My ultimate goal is to never feel my age or let my age be a limiting factor in any decision I make. So far, so good. So far…fabulous!

Global Entrepreneurship Monitor [GEM]: Adult Population Survey Data Set, 1998-2010 (ICPSR 20320)
Principal Investigator(s): Reynolds, Paul Davidson, Florida International University. Entrepreneurial Research Institute; Hechavarria, Diana, Florida International University. Entrepreneurial Research Institute
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) was designed to capture various aspects of firm creation and entrepreneurship across countries. The data have been collected over the course of 12 years (1998-2010) and include responses from individuals in over 90 countries. This dataset is a harmonized file capturing results from all of the surveys. The procedure has been to harmonize the basic items across all surveys in all years, followed by implementing a standardized transform to identify those active as nascent entrepreneurs in the start-up process, as owner-managers of new firms, or as owner-managers of established firms. Those identified as nascent entrepreneurs or new business owners are the basis for the Total Entrepreneurial Activity [TEA] or Total Early-Stage index. This harmonized, consolidated assessment not only facilitates comparisons across countries, but provides a basis for temporal comparisons for individual countries. Respondents were queried on the following main topics: general entrepreneurship, start-up activities, ownership and management of the firm, and business angels (angel investors). Respondents were initially screened by way of a series of general questions pertaining to starting a business, such as whether they were currently trying to start a new business, whether they knew anyone who had started a new business, whether they thought it was a good time to start a new business, as well as their perceptions of the income potential and the prestige associated with starting a new business. Demographic variables include respondent age, sex, and employment status.

Elite Premium services free!
And Season's Pass hopefully won't be a rip off like Elite because I'm getting it. I doubt it will be though as it will include Zombies maps.
The Season Pass seems pretty cool, but I'll probably just take it one DLC at a time. Unfortunately, even if you got the Season Pass, you would probably have to wait a month after Xbox users since you play on PS3. (meaning an Xbox w/o the Season Pass could get it before you)

Do you think MW3 Elite Clans will also do Clan Ops/Clan Challenges for BOI, or just MW3. Cause most players would play BOII after it's release about a month...

Ever wondered what the "DuckTales" theme song would sound like as a smooth R&B jam?
Imagine no more.
Postmodern Jukebox, the same crew that created a doo-wop version of the hit "Timber," has slowed down the Disney hit's theme song and paired it with some masterful vocals and a sensual jam band for, well, something surprisingly good.
The cover is part of the group's Saturday Morning Slow Jam series, which takes old cartoon songs and infuses them with 1990s R&B.

hi ladies. happy women's and mothers' day! (8th of march in my country)
anyways. my daughter is almost 5 months old and is exclusively breastfed. her weight gain has always been great, she is above average on the charts. i was planning to wait until AT LEAST 6 months and then do baby led solids whenever she seems ready. im don't mind waiting longer if necessary as BF is going great for us.
however, im having a hard time with my ped. they mentioned solids already at 4 months, i said no thanks, id like to wait. same thing today at her 5 month check up. they said ok, since her weight gain is good, but next month we HAVE TO start for sure because otherwise she will get an iron deficiency because at that age she's not getting enough from breast milk?? she said they do a mandatory blood test at 6 months to check her iron. all of this sounds iffy to me because everything i've read says they don't NEED solids until 1 year! and i've never heard about this iron thing?? also i should mention (didn't mention to ped though) that i don't eat meat and dairy - could this possibly worsen the iron situation?

Foster Leads Penn State Over Saint Joseph's
from press release
PHILADELPHIA - Senior attackman Jack Forster (Jenkintown) recorded a hat trick as the No. 17 Penn State men's lacrosse team snapped its three-game losing streak with a 7-3 victory against Saint Joseph's at Finnesey Field on Saturday afternoon. The Nittany Lions, who have allowed three goals or less in three of their four victories, improved to 4-4 overall (1-1 CAA), while the Hawks fell to 3-5 (0-2 CAA).
Forster registered three goals in a game for the first time since netting four markers against Saint Joseph's in a 14-6 Nittany Lion victory on March 26, 2011.
Junior midfielder Nick Dolik (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) scored twice for Penn State, while senior attackman Matthew Mackrides (Newtown Square) and junior midfielder Travis Crane (Parkville, Md.) tallied one goal each. Dolik also notched a game-high three caused turnovers.
Junior faceoff specialist Danny Henneghan (Beverly Hills, Mich.), who won 8-of-14 draws, collected a game-high four ground balls, and sophomore goalkeeper Austin Kaut (Morton) made 10 saves. Saint Joseph's netminder Griffin Ferrigan recorded 11 stops.
The Nittany Lions out shot Saint Joseph's by a 32-28 margin, while controlling 18 ground balls to the Hawks' 28. Penn State was 0-for-4 on extra-man opportunities, while Saint Joseph's finished 0-for-2 with the extra man.
Penn State scored the lone goal in the opening frame to take a 1-0 lead. Following a Saint Joseph's turnover, the Nittany Lions brought the ball down the field before Forster rocketed his first goal of the game at 4:45.
In the second stanza, Penn State outscored the Hawks by a 3-1 margin en route to the three-goal halftime lead. Crane tallied his second marker in a Nittany Lion uniform with 12:44 remaining before Saint Joseph's Johnny Simanski cut the Hawks' deficit to 2-1 with 9:41 left.
With 6:40 left in the half, Dolik notched his eighth marker of the season to regain Penn State's two-goal advantage before Forster gave the Nittany Lions a 4-1 lead 1:08 later.Penn State tacked on two more goals in the third quarter before the Hawks responded with one of their own. Dolik recorded his second tally of the game when he scored just 27 seconds into the second half. With 11:29 left in the third, Mackrides fired his 13th marker of the season to give Penn State a 6-1 lead. Kyle Williams scored for the Hawks with 3:38 left in the frame to make it a 6-2 game.
In the fourth frame, Saint Joseph's Ryan McGee brought the Hawks to within three goals with 7:43 remaining before Forster completed the hat trick 1:30 later to make it 7-3. Freshman attackman Pat Manley (Arnold, Md.) recorded an assist on the play.
Penn State will return to action on Tuesday (March 27) when they host No. 20 Bucknell in a non-conference matchup. Opening faceoff is set at 7 p.m.

is the people you love. And maybe the people who love you.
I have kind of a funny view of life. I sort of subscribe to the "I am the dreamer dreaming the dream" or "I am the dream of the dreamer dreaming the dream" philosophy.
I believe in living life to its fullest, cherishing life and those people I love. I believe in living life as though it is the ultimate reality even though I'm aware it's not.
The thing is this – you make the journey to heaven, or enlightenment, if you prefer, and then you came back and live your life. You raise your kids, you argue with your husband, you shop for groceries, you laugh at The Big Bang Theory, you shiver at The Terminator, you have a little sex, you walk your dog.
Enlightenment is not over there somewhere. There is no use seeking Nirvana or heaven because in the seeking heaven (enlightenment) will elude you. It is in us, it surrounds us every single moment of every single day.
I believe in God and I believe without question one should treat others as one wishes to be treated. In other words, as Rabbi Hillel said several generations before Jesus – What is abhorrent to you do not do to others.
Here's how I see it… God is immutable. He can't change and grow and learn except through us. We are God experiencing Himself. It's pretty cool when you think about it. Remember that old ad~ Let your fingers do the walking through the Yellow Pages? That's us. We are God putting on a glove (skin) and walking through life.
Life is the good, the bad and the ugly. It's why I choose to be good. I don't demand perfection, but I don't want to live with the ramifications of bad and ugly because I've seen them with my own eyes. And yeah, hell is what you make of it.
I died at the age of sixteen in an accident. Maybe tomorrow I'll tell you about it. And then I'll get back to discussing inanities, because seriously you have to have a sense of humor about all this shit.
P.S. God loves baseball. I swear He does.

We here at Cracked are protective of nerds because most of us on the staff grew up with that label. We didn't become who we are because of our nerdiness -- we became successful in spite of it. Being a nerd is a social handicap that "normal" people have begun holding up like a trophy, and you're goddamn right it makes us mad, because even though the term is meant in a very negative way, it was the only social class we truly fit into. And now it's as dead as Elvis' enormous colon.
(We're sorry fellow nerds, but velociraptors were tiny and feathered. Read our De-Textbook for more.)
4We Turned It into a Tagline That Means "Enthusiast"
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Here's a drinking game if your end goal is suicide by alcohol poisoning: Start randomly clicking Twitter bios and take a shot every time you see the word "nerd" or "geek" (or any variation thereof). My prediction is that, after four minutes, when you've finally had enough and start cutting yourself, you'll bleed clear liquid.
It's usually coupled with another interest, as in, "I'm a huge Doctor Who nerd" or "Game of Thrones geek." This sounds nit-picky, but it's extremely important in this context because the whole idea of being a nerd is that you belong to a very small group of social outcasts. We weren't nerds because we enjoyed Star Wars -- you know, the highest grossing sci-fi film in the history of movies -- we were nerds because we were a small, annoying group of people who obsessed about it and knew every ridiculous, obscure detail of shit that didn't even appear on screen. We obsessed to a fault ... so much so that we couldn't connect with "normal" fans because our enthusiasm ruined the subject for them.
Don't even get us started on Han shooting second.
In other words, we aren't nerds because of our fucking hobbies or taste in entertainment. Yes, we tend to like things like comic book characters and science fiction movies ... but then again, so does every other person on the damn planet. And that's how non-nerds define their interests: "I'm a huge video game geek!" No, we're nerds because of who we are as people. And because the very definition of "nerd" is "socially inept," we cannot be included in the group when it becomes mainstream, as it has now. It's almost a paradox. A big, stupid, annoying paradox devoid of friendship and love.
That's why we seem so angry and bring up the annoying "real nerd" defense. Our one and only defining term has been taken by popular culture, but we're still stuck in the same rejected circle. We're watching normal people claim the label, and therefore our struggles. And if we use the term "nerd" ourselves, we're claiming to be just like everyone else. And we're anything but that. It's not by choice. No offense, hipsters.

There have been nerds in movies and TV shows for as long as that personality has been recognized, but until recently, they've always been comedy relief characters. Urkel from Family Matters, Eugene from Grease, the Frog brothers from The Lost Boys, Anthony Michael Hall's group in Sixteen Candles. Even movies that feature nerds in lead roles force them into the popular crowd to teach them some bullshit life lesson (Some Kind of Wonderful, Can't Buy Me Love). The message was basically, "You want to be laughed at? Fine, stay a nerd. You want to get laid? Here, put on this ridiculously thin tie and mousse your hair."
It's really only been in the past couple of years that we've pulled the nerdy characters into the frontlines of entertainment and made them the focal point. Well, as nerdy as can be expected by TV standards. It basically boils down to supermodels with slightly odd hair talking about science (Big Bang Theory) or supermodel girls who are kind of stupid and klutzy (New Girl). Both comedies. Both painting the characters as adorable and lovable. And just in case you gave me the "da hell?" look when I called the cast of Big Bang Theory "supermodels," here's what they look like out of character:

They're not exactly having to pay for dates. More on that in a bit.
The point is that as long as they speak, act, and look a certain way, we're fine with nerds -- in fact, we love them. But that's not how we operate in real life. We're off-putting. We're annoying. We're the people you make fun of when we leave the room ... or while we're still in the room, crying and trying to hide the rapidly growing urine spot on our crotches. We spend our days in virtual isolation, doing things for entertainment that would bore a normal person into fits of tear-filled insanity.
Using them as main characters isn't being accepting -- it's a costume party for pretty, likeable people. A caricature for a personality type that is already a caricature of itself.

That's not a nerd, dude. That's a goddamn serial killer.

I've just started working from home and my DS is 12 weeks old. I love being able to be home to nurse him and spend time with him! I just read a post from Mommyto3 whose baby is the same age and said she also works from home (if you read this Mommyto3, please chime in!) If anyone works from home- how do you do it?
I can't seem to get much time to get my work done- my DS doesn't nap for long unless he's laying on me. He plays for a while, but then I feel guilty if I don't play with him sometimes because that's the whole reason I'm staying at home. Ahhhh... I'm supposed to be working about 20 hours at home each week and it ain't happening. Any suggestions from anyone?
Perhaps if I didn't read these boards so much I could work more lol!

Beyond Social Media: How Do You Waste Your Time Online?
If you're like me (and probably most Americans), you probably spend a majority of your waking time, even when not at work, in front of a computer. There have been loads of studies showing where workers (and everyone else) spends time on the Internet. Unsurprisingly, social media and online games tend to dominate the list. But as a social media marketer, spending time managing my profiles on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,

Scribble Your Blogs
Scribble is a great language for writing documentation. Now it's a great language for writing blog posts, too. I've just released a tool called Scriblogify that compiles Scribble documents and posts them as blog entries. Scriblogify is a more polished and automated version of the scripts I've been using for several months to prepare posts for my own blog.
To get Scriblogify, just download it from PLaneT:
The package automatically installs a raco subcommand (raco scriblogify) that can be used to configure Scriblogify and process and upload blog posts.
Configure Scriblogify by running
raco scriblogify --setup
That will open a browser window with the Scriblogify configuration servlet. The servlet will prompt you to authorize Scriblogify to access your Blogger and Picasa Web Albums accounts (only the Blogger/Picasa combination is currently supported) and then create one or more profiles—
Scriblogify automatically handles images computed in your Scribble documents by uploading them to a web album. For example, here are some images computed with the slideshow/pict library:
> (require slideshow/pict)
> (define rainbow-colors '("red" "orange" "yellow" "green" "blue" "purple"))
> (for/list ([c rainbow-colors]) (colorize (filled-rounded-rectangle 20 20) c))
'( )
> (for/list ([c rainbow-colors] [dir (in-cycle '(right left))]) (standard-fish 25 25 #:color c #:direction dir))
'( )
> (cc-superimpose (cc-superimpose (cloud 100 80 "lightblue") (cloud 90 70 "white")) (hc-append 10 (standard-fish 30 30 #:color "red" #:direction 'right) (standard-fish 25 20 #:color "blue" #:direction 'left)))
By Scribbling your blog entries, you get Scribble's nice code formatting, colorizing, and documentation links for free—
Scriblogify's documentation has more details, including how to update your blog's CSS for Scribbled content and what bloggable Scribble documents look like.
You can see the source for this blog post here. This blog entry was created with the following command:
raco scriblogify -p the-racket-blog scribble-your-blogs.scrbl
Now go forth and Scribble your blogs.

Remember Me
Welcome to the home page of the Drosophila flight control lab, headed by Dr. Steven N. Fry. We perform interdisciplinary, system level research on the neuromotor flight control pathways of the fruit fly Drosophila. The goal of our research is to gain basic insights into neural control of behavior, for which we apply genetic tools, advanced flight analysis systems, various forms of modeling and system identification techniques. The insights gained from this work are relevant to a broad range of research interests and applications, including in particular behavioral genetics, medical applications and robotics.
Our group is located at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) and University of Zürich (UZH) at the Institute of Neuroinformatics (INI) .
