Re: Anyone worn Cabelas Ultralight wading boots?
I own and have owned some Cabela's equipment, including a pair of their wading boots at one time. *Some of their gear has been ok, some hasn't. *None of their branded items have been exceptional. *In particular, I have not been impressed with their rods or wading boots. *I own a pair of their waders and a chest pack that appear to be fairly good. *Most of the Cabela's wading boots I've seen have fallen apart after a single season of light use, including my own and the ones owned by some friends. *I agree with smiling dog about the Chota brand. *Don't buy the Cabela's brand just because they're inexpensive and convenient. *I fell into that trap a lot as a beginning fly fisher. *It's better to get good quality material. *You can still find quality and bargains if you take the time to look. *Chota has an Abrams Creek boot that is very light, of great quality, and inexpensive (I think around $50). *LRO carries this boot, and I suggest you look there even if you don't get that particular boot. *They will give you good advice that you can't get from Cabela's. *A friend of mine bought a pair there early this year, and I've been so impressed with them that I plan to get a pair later this year.
BTW, I respect a site that allows honest evaluation of a competitor's products. *If someone was placing Cabela's ads on the board, then I would object. *But I think LRO's service and quality products will stand up to the test. And in this case it may even be beneficial to them to have this question posed as it may direct customers toward them if the posts so far are any indication.

Ratings for Dr. Jeffrey R. Garber
Excellent MD , vast knowledge , wrote book, Top in his field. Highly recommended
Dr Garber by far is the best doctor I have ever had. He has been my doctor for 20 years. He has managed my thyroid cancer since it was discovered in my 30's. He was able to identify my recurrence of cancer by a a thorough physical exam, which I am very grateful. I have since moved to Michigan , and travel back annually so that I may retain him as my specialist. He is very accomodating, and just simply a special physician
Dr. Garber is, without any doubt, my favorite doctor. I have been seeing him for 12 years. He addresses every concern. His followup is flawless. His personality has a calming affect even the most difficult of times. He is extremely well respected by his peers. With Dr. Garber, you know you're getting the complete and truthful story by a doctor who may very well be the best in his field nationally.
Dr. Garber is extremely thorough and helpful. Dr. Garber actually LISTENS to you and responds to your concerns or issues. Never once have I felt like I was being pushed through the doctor mill with him -- if anything I felt as if I was getting more time than I expected. He has also followed up with me personally. Great doctor.

Katy Perry's 'Dark Horse' Music Video Edited After Muslim Outrage
Katy Perry's odd music video for Dark Horse has undergone a slight edit after the Islamic community spoke out over content they deemed blasphemous.
At one point in the video, a man wearing a necklace with the word "Allah" in Arabic is turned to sand by Perry, disintegrating the necklace along with him.
Shazad Iqbal creating a petition to remove the video from YouTube, writing in part, "Such goes to show, that blasphemy is clearly conveyed in the video, since Katy Perry (who appears to be representing an opposition of God) engulfs the believer and the word God in flames."
The petition generated over 65,000 signatures before the video was altered, although it is currently unknown if YouTube, VEVO, or Katy Perry ultimately requested it.
Iqbal updated his petition after the change, writing, Guys I'm thrilled to let you all know the name of Allah has been removed from the 'Dark Horse' video we couldn't have done it without everyone's support so I thank each and every one of you deeply, our voices have been heard! God bless you all."
The music video has been watched almost 40 million times since its release last week.

Recenze doplňku Super Date Format
9 recenzí tohoto doplňku
Did the trick for me :-) Ohodnoceno 5 z 5 hvězdiček
I'm fond of the ISO 8601 date/time format standard with Year-Month-Day Hour:Minute:Second arrangement. This add-on allowes me to see my dates that way.
BONUS!!: If you use the %s option you get UNIX time!!
Wow! Ohodnoceno 5 z 5 hvězdiček
This is either unreal or the years-long nuisance of useless dates in TB is finally over!!! Works great on current TB version. Recommended to join the two tabs so new users don't forget to actually activate the new date format.
Still No Joy Ohodnoceno 1 z 5 hvězdiček
I can't believe it's been a year since I last tried this extension. I can't believe that it still doesn't (quite) work as described.
I reinstalled the add-on into TB 24.2, setup the date-and-time format and columns I wanted, then rebooted. The date appears the way I want, but the time remains in %r (am/pm) and not the %R (24-hour) entered in the settings dialogue.
This time, the date format I choose was maintained after closing TB and rebooting, but the time format never materialized the way I wanted it.
This extension still needs work to achieve the functionality it promises.
Ohodnoceno 5 z 5 hvězdiček
Works great :)!
Also getting full timestamp Ohodnoceno 3 z 5 hvězdiček
@Thompy1 Thanks for the hint about %a%c. Fortunately, that's what I wanted, because like hurdingkatz, when I tried any of the explicit date or time fields, the date column always displayed the full timestamp with timezone. Didn't seem to matter which of the date time values I used; any of them resulted in the full timestamp.
I'm happy to have the weekday. Thanks for the plugin.
[Update Jan 29, 2015] Encountered this same problem installing on a new computer. Imagine my surprise when Google found my own comment! :) Still just produces a full timestamp if I provide an explicit format, but fortunately %a %c still works. Perplexed why date formats don't work.
It works! Ohodnoceno 5 z 5 hvězdiček
Perfect - now have the date in the format I want including day of the week
@Hurdingkatz - I had the same issue you did including the superfluous time zone stuff, but used %a %c which drops it
Thanks for reviewing!
Issue with chronological order Ohodnoceno 4 z 5 hvězdiček
This is a really nice idea, but I had issues with the chronological order of emails after customizing the "year" format. I wanted to use the add-on to shorten the standard date format to save horizontal space. So I reduced the "year" format from the usual 4 digits to the last two digits (like 2012 to just 12). It works, but then the chronological order of emails gets mixed up (especially if new mail arrives). One can correct the mixed up order, shortly, by clicking on SDF's own new "Date" column again, but it keeps reverting to the mixed up order. Had to deactivate the add-on. It would be nice, if the add-on could keep the logical chronological order of the standard date format while displaying the new customized date format.Tato recenze je pro předchozí verzi doplňku (1.0).
Fixed in v1.1
Thanks for your detailed review! All of this has been fixed in version 1.1.
At last! Ohodnoceno 5 z 5 hvězdiček
I've been waiting for something like this for sometime now.
Now I can set the date format I want.
Thanks for this addon.
Thanks for using Super Date Format!
very nice Ohodnoceno 5 z 5 hvězdiček
this is something i've thought about writing for a while. it would be close to perfect, given:1. i believe it's against convention to take up a panel in Options, and it's worse if there's no icon.2. it should be clear if Date or Received is used.3. imo, the Date Format pref could be added as a tab in Options->Display; the column name doesn't need its own tab.4. the panel/tab could be automatically selected in the Options window when clicking options in addons manager (it's possible programatically).5. you don't need a new custom column, but can instead use the same method to override an existing column, and let the user decide to which columns the date format should apply.
[followup:] all you do is use dateCol or receivedCol in addColumnHandler(). but you need to get the dates like this: _fetchDate: function(aMsgHdr, aName) { let date = aName == "dateCol" ? aMsgHdr.date : aName == "receivedCol" ? aMsgHdr.getUint32Property("dateReceived") * 1000000 : null; return date; },
[followup2:] the 2 options panels *really* need to be combined into 1... also, i think there is a better way than listbox (grid?) to display the format symbols help box; the text should especially be copy/select enabled (readonly textbox?). then it would be perfect. ;) 4->5
Thanks for your input.
1. Yes, I've moved it into Options > Display in the latest code.
2. I've updated the add-on page.
3. Yes, I've moved it into Options > Display in the latest code.
4. I'll look into this.
5. That one thing I wanted to do, but couldn't figure out how. However, if people would like to create multiple date fields, each with their own formatting, then I'm open to that as well.
Follow-up #1
Thanks for the code. As of version 1.1 the date format is applied directly to the "Date" and/or "Received" columns, and the new custom column has been removed.

Ebro Darden will be stepping down as Program Director of Hot 97, choosing to focus his efforts on his role as co-host of the Hot 97 Morning Show.
A matching job opening on the Emmis Communications job board confirms that the position is officially open.
In a statement, Darden says, "Emmis let me choose where I would be happiest. Mornings, TV & assisting in programming makes sense with everything HOT 97 and I have happening today, so I chose creative over corporate."
The move comes in the wake of the recent announcement of a Hot 97 "reality show/unscripted comedy," This is Hot 97, a weekly series to launch on VH1 on March 31.
Darden made news by making the unorthodox move to become more vocal on the station's Morning Show after the departure of on-air personality Kay Foxx. He has often stirred up controversy with his views on subjects like New York hip hop and battle rap.
Ebro Darden will continue in the role of Program Director until a replacement is acquired.
We will continue to follow this story and report as more becomes known.
Tune in to The NY Hip Hop Report on Sunday, March 16 as we discuss the changes at Hot 97.

Another beer business is looking to open doors in La Crosse's downtown, but this one hopes to appeal to a different crowd.
Turtle Stack Brewery filed a conditional use permit with the city.
The brewery wants to move into the former Markos clothing store which has been vacant for about five years.
Instead of acting like the other downtown bars, it would brew craft beers to be distributed in kegs around the area.
It would also have a tasting room with the intention of bringing in an older crowd to the downtown. "Well, it's good for downtown not to have empty storefronts, I think just having more foot traffic and people investing in downtown is a great thing," said City Planner Larry Kirch.
The permit needs to go through one more committee before the full city council votes on it later this month.

Overkill -- Kansas City, MO -- September 1st, 1988
Incredible set. I think this would have been the perfect tour to see Overkill on. From the looks of it they dropped most of the material from the first two albums when they toured for [I]The Years of Decay[/I].
[LIST=1][*]Shred[*]Never Say Never[*]Wrecking Crew[*]Powersurge[*]Brainfade[*]Rotten to the Core[*]Hello From the Gutter[*]Fuck You[*]End of the Line[*]Head First
Guitar Solo / Drum Solo[*]Hammerhead[*]In Union We Stand[*]Electro-Violence
---[*]Deny the Cross[*]Overkill III (Under the Influence)[/LIST]
From setlist.fm
I saw them on this tour when they opened for Motorhead and Slayer. I really like the song Never Say Never. I wish they would play it now. Alas, a pipe dream...
[QUOTE=treghet;440680]Incredible set. I think this would have been the perfect tour to see Overkill on. [/QUOTE]
Before Horrorscope, and therefore no.
I remember seeing that show in Atlanta. Gustafson's guitar kept fucking up and he wasn't pleased. I can't remember who opened.
I bet this was at The Outhouse.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will enter their 2013 training camp as a team in transition as they continue to integrate young talent onto the roster.
Offensive coordinator Todd Haley will have one of the youngest offenses in the league to work with this year. He will try to improve their production after averaging 21 points per game last season.
Meanwhile, Dick LeBeau will lead the oldest defense in the league that will have three new starters. But that defense will be much younger in 2013 as the three new starters will be integrated into the lineup.
After a disappointing 8-8 finish in 2012, the Steelers plan to make the necessary changes to make a return trip to the playoffs in 2013.
As training camp approaches, here is an analysis of the Steelers' 90-man roster.
Note: Listed next to names are given roster numbers. All stats via Steelers.com and ESPN.com.

As I read Wolf Hall (2009) by Hilary Mantel for my book club, I am struck by the story of Henry VIII. He is popularly known for his role in the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. Henry's struggles with Rome ultimately led to the separation of the Church of England from papal authority, the dissolution of the Monastaries, and establishing himself as the Supreme Head of the Church of England. Apparently, Henry's motivation for stirring this change was his desire for a male heir. Anne was charismatic, although she resisted Henry's attempts to seduce her. She said "I beseech your highness most earnestly to desist, and to this my answer in good part. I would rather lose my life than my honesty." This refusal made Henry even more attracted, and he pursued her relentlessly. As we all know, Anne's story ends with execution.
Henry VIII seized economic and political power from the Church by the aristocracy, chiefly though the acquisition of monastic lands and assets. Henry worked with some success to make England once again a major player on the European scene. Henry's break with Rome incurred the threat of a large-scale French or Spanish invasion. To guard against this he strengthened existing costal defence fortresses. He also built a chain of new castles along Britain's southern and eastern coasts.
To me, this is a tale of power, of seduction, of charisma and disloyalty. I see this story as a story that every family and every organization can tell. Henry VIII was focused on his legacy. He would do anything to engineer a male heir. This drive for power, even after his death, made him so focused that nothing else and no one else mattered. As far as I can tell Catherine of Aragon was a victim. She was persecuted for not having a male heir who survived. Anne was an opportunist. She was clever and charming. That started out well, but ended poorly.
I like thinking about Henry VIII because I am reminded that the world is a complicated place. Love does not always prevail. Good people do not always have happy endings. There are victims and persecutors. Power is powerful. Charm and charisma go a long way, at least initially. The 16th century is no different than the 21st century. These themes will always be true. For short periods we try to escape these powerful forces of human nature, but over time, we see these stories again and again. Some people will accuse me of being a pessimist. To them, I suggest that they look at history, both family histories and corporate histories. I suggest that almost every family and almost every corporation has a story of greed, power, and betrayal. There are also stories of love, devotion and altruism, but to look at one side without the other is to miss the big picture. There is the good and bad of human nature. We need to keep both in mind.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, ABC's long-running reality show the "Bachelor" is finally featuring a non-white bachelor after eighteen seasons. Although there have been a few non-white men and women to appear as contestants on the shows, no bachelor or bachelorette has been anything but lily white.
Perhaps the new Bachelor, Juan Pablo Galavis, is a response to a lawsuit brought by
"A group of Nashville residents led by Nathaniel Claybrooks and Christopher Johnson brought a class-action lawsuit last year, alleging that the roles of the Bachelor and Bachelorette on the hit reality series have failed to feature non-white cast members and that civil rights law "plainly prohibits whites from refusing to contract with African Americans because of their race."
Of course Mr. Galavis, a former soccer player from Venezuela who now lives in Miami, is creating quite a stir in the blogosphere both because he is the first Latino Bachelor and because he is... well... white.
Why have all the Bachelors and Bachelorettes been white? The answer lies in the nature of ideal romance in the United States. Because the shows are premised on a Disney-like narrative of finding one's true love, proposing, and ending the story at the alter with a big white wedding, they require characters who fit our notions of the "perfect" love story and the "perfect" wedding and the wedding has always been and remains white- at least in its most idealized form.
Think about the stories we tell our children- nearly every single Disney film, with the exception of "The Frog Princess," shows white characters getting married and non-white characters, like Mulan or Pocahontas, not exactly getting married. Think about the "Twilight" saga. It is Edward and Bella's whiteness that brings them to the altar. The non-white werewolves imprint rather than throw the perfect wedding to seal their bonds. And in none of these tales does the perfect wedding end in a mixed race pairing (although we do have mixed species with "The Little Mermaid"). Or think about the Royal Wedding of Kate and William. Could it have been any more ideal or any whiter?
Then think about the statistics. The average white wedding costs $30,000. That's about what the average Black family of four makes in a year. The vast majority of white Americans will get married and have a wedding. A minority of Black Americans will.
So when ABC makes a decision to only have white Bachelors and Bachelorettes and only have white contestants win their love, they are merely reflecting the ideal romance that ends in the ideal white wedding that is always already white. Of course ABC could shake things up and give us a Bachelor or Bachelorette who isn't white, but the sad truth is that even if ABC did give us a non-white romance, it would be the exception to how our culture represents "perfect love," not the rule.

That is a contradiction to the fact that is a connected space being the union of two nonempty disjoint open sets.

Transit of Venus on video
Venus passed in front of the sun yesterday. If you missed the Transit of Venus, and since it won't happen again for another hundred years:
The video above captures the historic event from more than 22,000 miles above our planet, taken by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory from geosynchronous orbit.
The high-above and high-definition view shows our sister planet Venus as it plunges just past the solar limb and crosses the sun's face. The video is composed of a series of images stitched together to produce a sped-up version of the transit (which, in reality, took nearly seven hours). SDO took images in several different wavelengths, including extreme ultraviolet that shows the sun blazing with fierce magnetic field lines.

Now, MTV's 24-hour college network, mtvU is making a huge investment in honoring fans with the "mtvU Fandom Awards" which will take place on Sunday, July 27 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
"The 'mtvU Fandom Awards' will reinvent the traditional award show format," said Ryan Kroft, "mtvU Fandom Awards" Executive Producer in the announcement. "In addition to handing out trophies, we will recognize the achievements of fans and their favorite obsessions with special surprises and experiences. It's the perfect event to reward the fans at Comic-Con, the epicenter of all fandoms."
Experience around the awards, free for Comic-Con goers:
To further honor the dedicated fans of Comic-Con, the "MTV Fan Fest" will feature a stirring set from headliners Linkin Park, part of a free party at Petco Park open to all Comic-Con badge holders with food, drinks, games and giveaways. The "MTV Fan Fest" will lead into the "mtvU Fandom Awards" on Thursday, July 24.
Big performance from Linkin Park:
Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum rock band Linkin Park is gearing up to release their sixth studio album, "The Hunting Party," on June 17. The band will kick off their North American Carnivores Tour with Thirty Seconds to Mars and AFI on August 8 in West Palm Beach, Florida.
MTV's awards business fueling social TV:
mtvU also produces the Woodie Awards, which take place each year at SXSW. MTV also launched the O Music Awards in the last couple of years, which Lost Remote has participated in. On top of that MTV is already gearing up for the VMAs with a big social TV push. Honoring fans in a big way is going to tap into a whole new type of influential celebrity that's rarely honored in a big way.

Here we are—almost in May. College coaches are busy with their own seasons. So what can high school players be doing now to get the attention of coaches during the recruiting season?
First and foremost, keep those grades up. When the coaches start recruiting again this summer, they are going to want to know what kind of student your child is so it is critical that there is not a decline in academic performance during the lacrosse season.
Second, play a lot and play well. During the spring season, it is important to work hard to get the most playing time possible. This may mean doing extra workouts, as an individual, to move up a string. It means having candid conversations with coaches on areas of needed improvement and making changes to improve. A good coach will give good, honest feedback; a good coach can explain the player's weakness, how it affects the player's game, and what needs to be done to correct it. If your child is playing on a high school and a travel team, talk to coaches for both teams and be aware of the similarities and differences in their observations.
Third, keep your child's statistics. Log goals, assists, ground balls, face off wins, and saves. This can be powerful information that helps your child's lacrosse resume stand out over other players. In our area, some high school teams automatically feed this information to the local paper, but others do not. As a result, it is up to us as parents to be smart and maintain this information for our kids.
Fourth, film the games and keep your child's recruiting video current. By working on the film now and adding good footage to it, coaches who watch your child in the summer will have timely information about his/her performance.
Fifth, start making a list of the schools your child is interested in. When your travel club confirms its summer plans, your child should reach out to these coaches with an up to date lacrosse resume, link to current film, and information on where they will be this summer.
Lastly, stay healthy. Stretching, eating well, and getting ample rest will help minimize the tolls that the long lacrosse seasons takes. Create some downtime for your player; block some time just to catch up on school work or rest. These kids think they are invincible; it is up to us, as parents, to be smart and make sure they do not overdo it.
What else is your family doing to prepare for the summer recruiting season? We still have a couple of months to go until tournament season. Please share your thoughts with us at email@example.com.

When the Cloud County Thunderbirds shoot 40 percent or better from the field, they are hard to beat.
Heading into the Jayhawk Conference Western Division matchup with Dodge City, the T-Birds were 12-1 in games in which they had connected on at least 40 percent of their field goal attempts.
Cloud County went 25 of 58 from the floor for 43 percent in rolling past Dodge City 72-42 Wednesday night in Bryant Gymnasium.
The T-Birds are now 5-0 in the Conference when shooting 40 percent or better.
"If we shoot 40 percent from the field we are hard to beat," Cloud County coach Chad Eshbaugh said, "For the most part we guard most of the time and we rebound most of the time."
Cloud County improved to 14-12 overall and 5-7 in the Conference with the win.
Dodge City, which had beaten the T-Birds 72-55 in the first meeting, falls to 13-15 overall and 5-8 in the West.
Baskets by Gerrae Williams and Marvin Smith gave Cloud County a 4-0 lead less than a minute into the game.
The T-Birds would not trail.
The game was tied on three occasions in the first 5:40.
It was an 8-8 game when Marcus Fillyaw knocked down a three-point shot, and Rodrick Robinson made a layup to put Cloud County up 13-8.
Delvon Rencher hit from 15 feet for Dodge City, but a basket by Rodrick Robinson, a free throw by Emeka Okoronkwo and a layup by Fillyaw made it an 18-10 game.
"I thought a lot of different guys got us off to a good start," Eshbaugh said, "Marvin Smith did a good job of getting the ball in the lane and scoring. Marcus Fillyaw was more aggressive offensively."
Smith hit five of seven field goal attempts and five of seven free throws in scoring a team high 15 points. He also had six rebounds.
Fillyaw finished with 12 points, six rebounds and three assists.
Dodge City got consecutive baskets by Aaron Tate and a three by Vic Adams to close the gap to 18-17.
It was the only field goal in the game for Adams, who ranks second in the Jayhawk Conference in scoring at 19.5 points, but scored just three.
"That was a tremendous effort by our team," Eshbaugh said.
After getting within one, the Conquistadors would go nearly six minutes without scoring.
Cloud County pumped in eight points during that stretch to open up a 26-17 advantage.
Leading 30-22, the T-Birds scored the final six points of the first half, four by Ed Dyson, and led 36-22 at the break.
Dyson chipped in 10 points for the T-Birds. He was six of six from the free throw line.
A layup by Williams and a bucket by Mboup to start the second half put Cloud County on top 40-22.
Dodge City managed just two field goals in the first 17 minutes of the second half, but did make 12 of 19 free throws.
Despite sending the Conquistadors to the line, the T-Birds were able to build on their lead throughout the final 20 minutes.
"It was very gradual. We didn't have a big spurt at the start of the second half," Eshbaugh said, "We were able to avoid the four minute scoring drought which seems to have plagued us over the last month."
Cloud County had nine different players score in the second half in pulling away to the 30-point win.
"I told them after the game that I didn't think anybody played poorly. I thought it was a good team effort," Eshbaugh said, "Coach (Lance) Carter and coach (Spencer) Farha did a very good job preparing them. It was good they heard some things from different voices."
Williams scored 11 points for Cloud County.
The T-Birds had a 53-29 rebounding advantage, and limited Dodge City to just 24 percent (12 of 51) shooting.
Rencher led the Conquistadors with 17 points.
Aaron Tage added 13 points.
Cloud County plays a Conference game at Garden City on Saturday night.

I love duck egg blue – it's such a wonderfully fresh and not-overused colour!
This is the perfect soft shade to tie into the pastel trend that is going on in makeup right now – so pretty and feminine.
The best way to wear pastel coloured eye shadow is to use a large fluffy brush and dust all over before liner and mascara – you want to achieve a soft focus wash of colour. Finish off with LOTS of Eye Bright Liner & as many layers of mascara as you have time for!

This shade is gorgeous on nails too – try Pop Nail Glam in Mint Magic to brighten up tips & toes!

Decorated bucchero lid
formerly the Bonifacio Falcioni Collection
Like all the 19th century collections, the Falcioni Collection is a mixture of pieces, some of which acquired out of pure curiousity. Among the latter we can certainly include this tall lid (the vase to which it originally belonged has been lost) characterized by the effective relief portrayal of a cock, with his engraved plumage and his modelled crest. The object forms part of the production in heavy bucchero typical of the Etruscan city of Chiusi and of the interior of Northern Etruria.

(NBC News) The Conservative Political Action Conference kicked off Thursday in Washington.
After sitting out last year, embattled New Jersey Governor Chris Christie got his chance to win over the far right.
It was a packed house for Governor Christie's speech, and whether voters support him or oppose him, most everyone wanted to hear what he had to say.
In the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll just 6-percent of Americans say they'd vote for the former 2016 front runner.
41 percent might, and 39 percent definitely wouldn't.

XSPOC is a comprehensive well management system that fully integrates all of Theta's software. It uses modern communication technologies to link real-time data to Theta's powerful diagnostic and design tools. XSPOC is not just for pump-off controllers anymore. It now supports other wellhead devices including submersibles and flow controllers. Other devices are being added all the time. Just take a quick look at the powerful features of XSPOC.
User Friendly Interface
XSPOC is very easy to use. In fact, most users find they can be highly proficient in a short time and with very little training. It allows you to simultaneously view a list of wells, the surface and downhole dynamometer cards, important parameters for the well, and the expert diagnostic analysis. The wells can be grouped in any way you want and you can easily switch from the dynamometer card screen to the well status screen, the trending screen, or any other screen available. Or you can keep all screens open simultaneously.

LTE/ LTE-A Model Library Extended
Beginning with the June 2011 release customers of the LTE library gained access to the LTE-A(dvanced) enhancements that have been added to the library. No additional license key is required, all LTE-A capabilities come as a maintenance update to all LTE library licensees. The December release has seen further extensions of the LTE/LTE-A library, including end-to-end simulation systems for both uplink and downlink. End-to-end simulation systems include ideal receivers, but also complete MIMO Receiver models for general M x N MIMO configurations, featuring different algorithms, including Zero-Forcing (ZF), Minimum Mean-Squared Error (MMSE) Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) and Maximum Likelihood (ML). For detailed information on the LTE-A features included in the LTE library product, read the datasheet.
Customer Success: Space Systems / Loral
The Simulation and Analysis team at Space Systems / Loral releases up to nine high-power satellites per year, all including signal processing receivers designed with SPW. Committed to delivering the highest performing satellite transceiver systems on a reliable schedule, the small development team needed an easy-to-use, effective design approach. SS / L selected Synopsys' SPW tool, which they used to model, simulate and verify the algorithms for the satellite receivers. Read the complete Space Systems / Loral Success Story.
What's New in SPW and System Studio?
In December 2011, both SPW and System Studio have seen new releases.
Events & Webinars
New Webinar: LTE-A Physical Layer Design: Downlink
In this webinar, we give an introduction to the LTE-A standard (Rel.10) with a focus on the downlink configuration, and explain the main enhancements over LTE Rel.8 and their implication on the overall system complexity. This is followed by an overview of Synopsys LTE-A library, a standard-compliant physical layer reference library verified in collaboration with Rohde & Schwarz. This overview will include some typical customer use cases. With LTE-A's value proposition being high throughput taking maximum advantage of available frequency bands and multiple transmit and receive antennas, we will demonstrate how to get to performance results quickly using the Synopsys LTE-A library. This will feature throughput measurements with two different setups using standard defined MIMO channel models: first, an ideal receiver with perfect channel knowledge and second, a practical channel estimation module in the system.
Best Practices: Reduce Time to Results Using the Netbatch facility
The built-in netbatch facility allows sequentially scheduled System Studio simulations to be run in parallel to reduce time to results. It utilizes a network of workstations (built around Platform Computing Corporation's Load Sharing Facility (LSF), Sun Grid Engine (SGE) software, or another software package of your choice) or enables the parallel execution of simulations on the local machine. The job management features of the netbatch facility also give you extended control over lengthy simulations running on the local machine. You can initiate a wait until the completion of a simulation, the final state of the simulation can be retrieved for postprocessing, and you can schedule a simulation to run within a predefined amount of time.
You can access the training on parallel simulation with netbatch (lecture slides + workbook) either via SolvNet (https://solvnet.synopsys.com/dow_retrieve/F-2011.12/ni/ccss.html) or via the Help menu in the tool itself. The training also comes with a lab example in the System Studio training library.

'Occupancy' and 'Settlement': Anishinaabemowin and the Interpretation of Michigan Indian Treaty Language
Matthew L. M. Fletcher
Michigan State University College of Law
February 23, 2010
MSU Legal Studies Research Paper No. 08-04
The 2007 Consent Decree in United States v. Michigan, a major victory for the tribal interests, recognized that the lands in ownership by the state, federal, and tribal governments – vast swaths of Michigan – would stand in for the lands not yet "required for settlement." The Michigan Indians' "privilege" to continued "occupancy" acquired legal determinacy. This short essay examines how Michigan Indian treaty negotiators would have understood the meaning of the words "settlement" and "occupancy," and how that understanding strongly influenced the land base in which Michigan Indians can continue to exercise their inland treaty rights in accordance with the 1836 Treaty.
Number of Pages in PDF File: 13
Keywords: Anishinaabemowin, American Indian treaty rights, 1836 Treaty of Washington, Michigan Indian, Grand Traverse Band, Little Traverse Bay Bands, Odawa

Pink Banana Theatre wrestles with truth, Internet in 'Dark Play'
When we first meet Nick in Carlos Murillo's "Dark Play," now on stage at Pink Banana Theatre Company in a production that opened over the weekend, he's a blandly attractive, seemingly wholesome collegian — "pretty much indistinguishable," as he'll later tell us, "from any other college kid."
But there's more here than initially meets the eye, as we learn when the woman sharing Nick's dorm-room bed begins asking about the web of scars along his waistline. Does Nick tell Molly the truth about these now-healed wounds? Or should he do as he's always done and make "stuff" — Nick uses a different word — up? »Read Full Article(1)

Lebron James has been in the media spotlight since childhood. He entered the NBA as a first overall draft pick with a Nike contract—before ever lacing up a pair of shoes as a pro. The Cavaliers drafted him to resurrect their dying franchise and eventually to bring a major championship to Cleveland.
Needless to say, the expectations of Lebron James have always been pretty high.
Yes, he has a completely inflated ego that often causes him to make questionable statements in the media or even host his own live television event, just to tell the world that he will be playing somewhere else.
Yes, that same ego predicted "not one, not two, not three…" championships with the Miami Heat before failing miserably in the NBA Finals with, essentially, the Eastern Conference All-Star roster behind him.
Yes, that same ego allows him to recognize himself as "King James" even though he possesses no championship wins since playing in high school.
What would you say, though, if I told you it wasn't James' fault for his ego or even for some of the statements he's made?
The media and the fans gave James the right to such an ego by treating him as though he just beat Jesus Christ in a pick-up game at Rucker Park. They continued to feed that ego by allowing him to be compared to Michael Jordan and many other NBA greats before he really proved that he deserved that designation.
By calling Lebron James "the best since MJ," you really give the guy free reign to do what he wants within the confines of the NBA. By letting him get away with whatever he wants in his early years, you're asking for an arrogant veteran down the road.
The way I see it, Lebron never stood a chance. He was the media's target since day one, and will continue to be that target as long as he and the fans allow that to happen, or at least until there's a bigger fish in the pond that is the NBA.
Being a target from his career's beginning, the media fattened up James' ego like a pig for the slaughter. It seems this offseason that he is finally being put on the spit that was meant for him all along.
Will Lebron ever slip back into the media's good graces?
The way I see that situation, James' humanity is already starting to be taken from him by the media when he can't even voice an opinion about a piece of journalism without being scrutinized on a national level.
So when will enough be enough? When will the constant scrutiny end? When will we get to stop hearing about how much of a tool Lebron James is?
The answer: when we stop caring.
The Lebron James frenzy will end when fans let go and stop giving him this negative attention. Until then, he is going to continue to make questionable decisions and lose important games under the immense pressure that comes with being a media martyr.
If he is allowed to stop focusing on living up to being great like MJ, and can focus instead on building chemistry with his teammates, he will be able to win some important games and maybe, eventually a championship.
When it comes down to it, though, that isn't a realistic outcome. The fans and the media aren't ready to let go of their whipping boy yet—and probably won't be for some time. Lebron James just needs to play his game and keep his mouth shut. Then he can simply hope for the best, and maybe the scrutiny will stop.

Libraries Position Postings
Student Employee Payroll Calendar
Please visit the regular student payroll calendar for information on forms and payroll due dates.
Information on the procedures for hiring, changing status, or terminating student assistants can be found at http://www.libs.uga.edu/staff/studentproc.html .
New Employee Verification Program
All public employers, including institutions in the University System of Georgia, are required to participate in the Federal Electronic Employment Verification Program (EEVP) effective July 1, 2007. This means that UGA HR will become the central repository for completed Form I-9s for all UGA employees including faculty, staff, temporary employees, and student workers.
New faculty and staff may begin work without the verification completed, but all paperwork must be completed no later than close of business the second day of work. This should not impact our normal procedures as all new faculty and staff meet with Becky on or before the first day of employment to complete paperwork, of which this is one piece. If the Form I-9 and supporting documents are not received by UGA HR within 3 work days of the new hire's employment date, the employee may be subject to termination of employment.
New student assistants must continue to have the Form I-9 completed by the time they begin work. No student should begin employment until this form is completed and turned in to Lucille. If all appropriate documentation is not presented, the student assistant should cease work until that can be produced. At that time, the student may begin work. Two items of note:
- Please remember that you must see the original documentation; faxed or copies brought in by employees may not be used as verification.
- You must forward the completed Form I-9 AND a copy of the documentation to Lucille for routing to UGA HR. If the Form I-9 and supporting copies of the documentation are not received by UGA HR within 3 work days of the new hire's employment date, the employee may be subject to termination of employment.
Upon receipt of the Form I-9 and supporting documents, UGA HR will access the federal employment verification system to initiate the mandatory check. New hires may continue working during the process. If there are issues which must be resolved based on the results of the verification process, HR will contact the hiring department.

Lewis Lawmakers Postpone Decision On New Building
The Lewis County Legislature put off a decision on a new county office building Monday morning in the face of questions from some lawmakers.
"I would say this would be one of the more thought provoking difficult decisions that has to be made," said Legislative Chair Michael Tabolt.
In a meeting Monday morning, legislators Paul Stanford and Phil Hathway questioned whether the county can afford the project.
They say the county is already pursuing a $14 million project to upgrade its radio system for emergency services.
Stanford said he can't support both projects because it would put the county in too much debt.
"The money is the issue. We can't strap down these people by raising taxes anymore than we have to," said Stanford (D. - District 6).
The new building -- planned for Stowe Street in Lowville -- was expected to cost $10 million. Bids came in last week at around $8.8 million.
Stanford says the county already owes $10 million on its courthouse project.
Legislator William Burke says he's undecided. "We're between a rock and a hard place," he said.
County officials say they're working with the project's low bidder to see if they can reduce costs.
"I really feel that both projects can be done and not bankrupt the county," said Jack Bush (R. - District 9).
Lowville village officials are also concerned about the project. They say Stowe Street is in bad shape and can't handle the additional traffic.
Mayor Donna Smith also says the village's sewage system can't support the building's needs.
Lawmakers did not say when they would reconsider the project.
The legislature's next meeting will be next Tuesday.

Breast Augmentation – Implant Only
Breast Augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of a woman's breast.
Breast Augmentation – Implant Only (With Droop)
Breast Augmentation can be performed on breasts that have lost their shape or begun to droop.
Breast Augmentation – Revision
Breast Augmentation can be performed on breasts that have lost their shape or have become loose after weight loss, pregnancy or simply due to time and gravity.
Breast Augmentation – Implant with Deformity
Breast Augmentation is beneficial in patients with underdeveloped or absent breast tissue. The procedure is also helpful in correcting breast asymmetries where the size and shape are different.
Breast Augmentation with Tummy Tuck
Breast Augmentation combined with an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) can help restore a woman's shape after significant weight loss or pregnancy.
Breast Lift No Implant/Breast Reduction
The skin of the breasts can become loose after weight loss, pregnancy or simply the passage of time due to gravity. This saggy appearance can be corrected by a skin tightening operation called Mastopexy. Breasts that are excessively heavy can cause a number of uncomfortable problems that can often be alleviated by reducing the size of the breast surgically through a reduction mammoplasty.
Breast Cancer/Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction in patients that have undergone mastectomy can have reconstruction to help balance the breasts and enhance the non-cancer side.
The goal of an abdominoplasty is to restore the abdomen to a more youthful, well-contoured and flat appearance through incisions that are camouflaged by bathing suits. The abdominal wall is also tightened with a "corset" suture to correct the diastasis recti (space and bulge between the sit-up muscles).
Liposuction is the surgical removal of localized, diet resistant, fat deposits through small incisions. The technological advances in the last decade have made liposuction a tremendously safe and effective procedure.
Male Breast Reduction
Gynecomastia is an abnormal growth of breast tissue in males. It frequently begins during puberty and often resolves spontaneously. Weight gain and certain medications contribute to the deformity.

In popular culture, substitute teachers are depicted as either the second coming of prison wardens or buffoons.
That is so wrong, according to officials from Amarillo Independent School District.
If not for these part-time teachers, willing to drop everything at a moment's notice, operations in AISD would be slowed at best and grind to a halt in a worst-case scenario.
Recognizing this, the school district set aside March 29-31 to honor the people who substitute teach.
"All 51 campuses will do something for Substitute Appreciation," said John Hancock, director of secondary personnel at the Education Support Center.
"Substitute teachers fill a critical need in our classrooms when teachers are not able to attend school," said Denise Wiltcher, principal at Carver Early Childhood Academy.
About 800 people are registered as substitute teachers for AISD, Hancock said, and on any given day as many as 250 are needed.
Sometimes the need for substitute teachers is planned - days set aside for staff professional development, for instance. Other times, it's a last-second need to fill in for illness.
"Teachers are people, and things come up from time to time," said Janie Cooper, principal of Johnny N. Allen Sixth Grade Campus.
"It's very reassuring that there are capable people who can come in and teach our children."
In these days of accountability and the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills looming over every campus, a substitute teacher no longer can be thought of as just a baby sitter until a class's regular teacher returns.
"There's too much to learn, and we can't afford to have any down time," Cooper said. "It's important to have good substitute teachers."
The subs carry on teaching duties by maintaining the daily schedule, teaching lessons addressing individual needs of students "and giving them the emotional support they often need," Wiltcher said.
David Vincent, principal at Austin Middle School, agreed.
"When a teacher has to be out, putting a quality substitute in the classroom is important," he said. "Our permanent subs we can depend on every day.
"It's a tough job: One day they may be in art class; the next, language arts."
The toughest job they'll ever love is one reason Pat Lowrey said she likes substitute teaching.
"I like the flexibility of being able to work or be off if I need to be off," said Lowrey, a long-term substitute at Austin's library. "I like to fill in for people, and they know I'll do a good job for them."
Even office staff acknowledge the roles substitute teachers play in the school day.
When substitute physical education teacher Irvine Johnson was presented with a gift of a handmade goodie basket, Allen school secretary Olga Salazar quipped that among the items included in the basket was chocolate, "to get you through the day."
Getting through the school day while ensuring students stay on task is a challenge substitute teachers rise to daily, and AISD officials appreciate their efforts.

Anyone that has ever watched the Grammys can attest to the fact that at times, the outfits worn, by the women especially are a bit revealing to say the least.
Who can forget J Lo and her green, super low cut, sheer dress that left little to the imagination in 2000? Or Toni Braxton with her barely there white 'dress'?
After numerous embarrassing mishaps on CBS and other networks, most recently when Super Bowl winning quarterback Joe Flacco dropped the F bomb during the game's broadcast, a memo has been sent to all attendees of the event this coming Sunday.
According to reports, a memo, which was not intended to be publicized has been leaked by a low level staffer of the network and says in part:
"Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible `puffy' bare skin exposure."
The memo also states (in capital letters) "OBSCENITY OR PARTIALLY SEEN OBSCENITY ON WARDROBE IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR BROADCAST."
This is truly laughable (I'm actually chuckling as I write these quotes down). So let me get this right, CBS is trying to tell the biggest divas in the music industry what NOT to wear? Really? Good luck with that mates!
I don't mean to make light of this, as a parent of minors, I don't appreciate it when live broadcasts have wardrobe malfunctions, as was the case in 2004 during the Super Bowl half time show, when Janet Jackson exposed her breast for under a second; but do they seriously think this will do anything?
Stars will be stars, especially musicians. They seem to be bent on beating the next person as the most outrageously dressed. And forget about the language! This is a lost cause, if I was a musician and saw this, I would try to find the most revealing dress I had and wear it, just to make a point.
Of course, the network has every right to want to protect themselves, they are, after all, under the FCC's watchful eye and were already fined $550,000 for Jackson's malfunction, which was later overturned in court.
Will the Grammy advisory that cautions against outfits that expose a female nipple and calls for adequate breast coverage be taken seriously or will it have the opposite effect?
We will be watching the Grammys on CBS this coming Sunday, live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
