Mix: iPad hospital, iTunes Festival, iPad user, ARM rumor
Kaweah Delta Health Care District in Visalia, CA is preparing to deploy more than 100 iPads for use by healthcare workers. Network World reports that the while the Nick Volosin, Keweah's director of technical services, has bought three iPads for testing already, roughly 20 of the hospital's doctors had already purchased one. "This is going to make my day easier and patient safety better," Kidney Specialist Dr. Roger Haley said during an interview with a local ABC news station. "Now, I don't have to find a workstation to do what I need to do; I do it right there, right then, right now." The 100-plus iPads planned for deployment will be used by all manner of healthcare workers, including home health and hospice care workers, nurses, dietitians, and pharmacists.
Apple has announced the dates for its 2010 London iTunes Festival, to be held at Camden's Roundhouse in London. As in past years, the Festival will feature 62 bands playing over the 31 nights of July, kicking off with Scissor Sisters on the 1st, Tony Bennett on the 2nd, and Ozzy Osbourne on the 3rd; more artists are expected to be announced in the coming days.

99-year-old Virginia Campbell has become the subject of a recent television segment and a YouTube tribute thanks to her new iPad. In an interview with Fox 12 in Oregon, Campbell revealed that while she had been an avid reader, and enjoyed writing, she had been unable to do either recently due to her glaucoma, which made it impossible for her to read large-print library books or even her own handwriting. Since receiving the iPad, Campbell has been able to read again, thanks in part to the high contrast of the device's screen, and has been using Pages for composition. Continue reading to see both videos below in embedded form.
Apple may be considering an acquisition of chip designer ARM Holdings, if a curiously-sourced London Evening Standard report is to be believed. Citing "gossips," the report claims that Apple would be interested in ARM due to its use of ARM's designs in its iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad processors; these same speculators suggest a deal for ARM would cost around £5.2 billion, or roughly $8 billion. ARM CEO Warren East sees the situation differently, however, telling The Guardian, "Exciting though it is to have [our] share price pushed up by these rumours, common sense tells us that our standard business model is an excellent way for technology companies to gain access to our technology. Nobody has to buy the company."
Report: iPhone 4G prototype near-final, legality questioned
In a lengthy post discussing Gizmodo's procurement of a fourth-generation iPhone prototype, Daring Fireball's John Gruber has offered up some previously-unknown details about the device, citing inside information from Apple sources familiar with the project. Referencing one of the barcodes found on the outside of the device, "N90_DVT_GE4X_0493," Gruber writes that "N90" is Apple's internal codename for the fourth-generation GSM iPhone, slated for release "this June or July." The "DVT" portion of the code reportedly stands for "device verification test," an Apple production milestone that occurs very late in a device's development, suggesting that the unit "very closely, if not exactly" resembles what Apple plans to release.
Regarding the legality of both Gizmodo's purchase of the device—the site claims to have paid $5,000 for the unit—and the actions of the party that sold it to the publication, Gruber suggests that California law could make the seller and possibly Gizmodo's editors guilty of a crime. The seller, who used the Facebook application on the device to ascertain the identity of the Apple employee who lost the phone, yet failed to return it to him or his employer, may possibly be guilty of theft, while Gruber argues that Gizmodo's editors, by purchasing a device they likely knew belonged to Apple, may be guilty of purchasing and receiving stolen property. An iLounge source has indicated that Apple is unlikely to sue Gizmodo for civil damages over the prototype, however.

The latest version adds the ability to buy additional icons through in-app purchase, a search history, landscape support in web view and a new Pattern Unlock option.

iPhone OS 3.1.3 breaking Wi-Fi for some users
A number of iPhone users are reporting a loss of Wi-Fi functionality after upgrading to software 3.1.3. Based on an Apple Support discussion thread, the problems date back to the update's release in February, and appear to affect mostly first-generation iPhone and iPhone 3G units, although a small number of iPhone 3GS owners also claimed to have experienced the issue. Some users state that their iPhones now have the Wi-Fi option grayed out, as if no hardware exists to support it, while others say the option is there, but report failure to find/connect to any networks. As a solution, a number of the users report having had their iPhones replaced, which seems to have corrected the problem in some cases, but in others the new hardware also exhibited the issue; Apple itself has posted a support document outlining an issue where there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth address listed on the iPhone or iPod touch, but that issue appears to be unrelated to the problems mentioned in the discussion thread.
Video shows Android running on jailbroken iPhone
iPhone hacker planetbeing has uploaded a video to YouTube demonstrating a version of the Android OS running on the iPhone. The hack is done through a modified version of OpeniBoot, which allows the user to select which operating system will be used to launch the phone. Once loaded, the modified Android build offers support for telephony, Wi-Fi, browsing, and media playback. Notably, the hack was performed using a first-generation iPhone; planetbeing claims that it "should be pretty simple to port forward to the iPhone 3G," but that the iPhone 3GS "will take more work."

Apple surveying iPad owners to discover usage habits
Apple has started sending out emails to a select group of current iPad owners asking them to "please complete [a] 15-minute iPad survey" to help the company understand their purchase. Business Insider reports that survey is over 50 questions long, and attempts to discover whether or not iPad owners are still using iPods, eReaders, and laptops following their purchase. Questions include where the iPad was purchased, how the user first heard about the iPad, what types of questions they had before purchasing the iPad, their satisfaction with various features of the device, where they intend to use the device, in what rooms at home do they use the iPad, and who else uses the iPad they purchased.

MiLi releases Power Skin for iPhone 3G, 3GS
Mili has released its Power Skin external battery + case for the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, as well as its PocketPal foldable USB charger.

Available in eight two-toned color combinations using black, white, blue, green, orange, and silver, it sells for $70.

Both the Power Skin and PocketPal will also be available in a bundle for $80.
Mix: iPad in school, iPad theft, Google acquisition, iPad display
Monte Vista Christian School in Watsonville, California has launched a new pilot program with 60 iPads that has advanced placement students using the devices a learning tools. "There are many academic advantages," said Headmaster Stephen Sharp. "They provide new access to photos, videos, daily newspapers and resource material that enhance the curriculum." Sharp anticipates replacing heavy, traditional textbooks with interactive versions running on the iPad should the pilot program go well. [via MDN]
A Denver man was the recent victim of a gruesome iPad theft that left him missing a finger. Bill Jordan had just left the Apple retail store in the Cherry Creek Mall, shopping bag wrapped around his his fingers, when two men approached and ripped the bag away, taking much of Jordan's pinky finger. "I saw just a bone, all the skin and tendons and everything were off," Jordan said; he was later taken to the hospital, where a hand surgeon was forced to amputate part of his finger. The suspects in the robbery, caught on surveillance footage, have yet to be apprehended.
Google has purchased a startup company launched by former P.A. Semi and Apple employees. PEHub reports that Google has confirmed its acquisition of Agnilux, a somewhat mysterious startup rumored to be working on some kind of server and personally funded with proceeds from Apple's earlier acquisition of P.A. Semi. Pricing terms of the deal have yet to be revealed; it was recently reported that P.A. Semi founder and former Apple employee Dan Dobberpuhl had left Apple to join his other former P.A. Semi colleagues at Agnilux. [via AppleInsider]
According to an ifoAppleStore report, many Apple retail stores are seeing small problems with their iPad displays after just a few weeks on the market. In particular, the power/security cables connected to the iPad are prone to fraying near the 30-pin connector, due to customers' tendency to repeatedly spin and rotate the device in many different directions. In addition, many units are now left covered in fingerprints, as cleaning has become "less proactive."
Amidio releases iHolophone
Amidio has released iHolophone, a new digital music instrument for iPhone and iPod touch users. iHolophone allows users to add their own live performance over fully programmable sequencer beats for a futuristic sound. The application includes over 250MB of sequenced sounds 160 factory sequencer patterns, 60 modern instrument sounds and 800 percussive and melodic samples.

As the user plays the screen backgrounds change to produce artistic effects corresponding to the rhythms, sounds and harmonies. iHolophone is available from the App Store for $7. A free iHolophone Happy Birthday Edition is also available which allows users to try the app by playing Happy Birthday.
Adobe Flash manager speaks out on iPhone SDK terms
Following a change in Apple's Phone developer SDK terms that outlawed intermediary, cross-compatibility tools from iPhone apps, an Adobe employee has responded to the new restrictions. Specifically, section 3.3.1 of the new iPhone developer terms states that "[a]pplications that link to Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility layer or tool," such as Adobe's Packager for iPhone that ships with Flash Professional CS5, "are prohibited." Mike Chambers, Adobe's Principal Product Manager for developer relations for the Flash Platform, says that "[d]evelopers should be prepared for Apple to remove existing content and applications (100+ on the store today) created with Flash CS5 from the iTunes store."
Concerning the future of the company's Flash-to-iPhone-app software, Chambers claims that the company "will still be shipping the ability to target the iPhone and iPad in Flash CS5. However, we are not currently planning any additional investments in that feature." Chambers adds that he doesn't have any plans to update or maintain his existing iPhone applications, as he thinks "the closed system that Apple is trying to create is bad for the industry, developers and ultimately consumers, and that is not something that I want to actively promote." A recent report suggested that Adobe may be considering legal action against Apple over its refusal to allow Flash to run on its iPhone OS devices, and this recent decision to ban iPhone apps made using Flash software.

June 30, 2011 —
ALBANY, NY — The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) tomorrow, Friday, July 1, will release its revised recommendations on mitigating the environmental impacts of high-volume hydraulic fracturing(high-volume fracturing). The recommendations contain these major revisions:
High-volume fracturing would be prohibited in the New York City and Syracuse watersheds, including a buffer zone;
Drilling would be prohibited within primary aquifers and within 500 feet of their boundaries;
Surface drilling would be prohibited on state-owned land including parks, forest areas and wildlife management areas;
High-volume fracturing will be permitted on privately held lands under rigorous and effective controls; and DEC will issue regulations to codify these recommendations into state law.
Approximately 85 percent of the Marcellus Shale would be accessible to natural gas extraction under these recommendations.
Among the provisions is one that would require natural gas drillers certify that a well drilling operation is consistent with local zoning. This provision, if finally adopted, would support the position that local municipalities can or cannot restrict natural gas as a land use within certain zones, a matter that has been a bone of contention.
Acdording to Helen Slottje of the Community Environmental Defense Council, which has been working with local towns to construct ordinances banning drilling as high-impact industrial use, "Under NYS law the DEC may not refuse to issue a permit because it conflicts with local law – the courts have said the DEC must issue the permit and then leave the dispute to the town and permit holder. Therefore, this is the strongest position DEC can take."
The section in question reads:
"Local Land Use & Zoning: Applicant must certify that a proposed activity is consistent
with local land use and zoning laws. Failure to certify or a challenge by a locality would
trigger additional DEC review before a permit could be issued."

Skip to comments.Biden: 'Cheerleaders in college are the best athletes' (Possibly NSFW)
Posted on 09/22/2012 5:29:24 AM PDT by SeminoleCounty
Vice President Joe Biden on Friday made an unannounced stop at Newport High School Friday in New Hampshire. From the pool report: He walked down a pathway with a coach in Newport orange and reached about 100 students in their sports uniforms waiting for him in a semi-circle. He cradled a football under his arm as he spoke. He began by asking which teams were represented football, soccer, lacrosse and cross-country. Any others? He asked.Cheerleaders, a group of girls shouted.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Anyway its so great to see you guys, he said.
I probably should have warned more about the double-entendre humor....but our illustrious Veep is at it again....more Bidenisms
Definitely (NSFVP)
He really would make a great sidekick for one of the late night shows. He's funny because he doesn't know it.
Biden is just avoiding talking about the economy and foreign policy.
What's NSFVP? No shucking fun VP?
Not Safe For VP?
Bingo... Biden's job is to make Obama seem smart. However, at times Biden is so good at his craft that he can make a goldfish seem smart.
Seriously, this guy needs to get a medical checkup.
Not Suitable For Vice President
Just think if he was Bill Clinton's VP....oh man:
"Well...I tried to talk to the President about birth control funding....but he was doing an intern and could not be interrupted"
My yard cat is more suitable for VP than this disgusting putz!
Biden stops at High Schools because he thinkshe can win their votes.
He doesn't realize that only those who have been held back a year are old enough to vote.
I see someone left the assylum door open again..
He is intelligent by Dem standards.
Pray for America
It's like Leslie Nielsen starring in a comedy. Except that it is real. Why is SNL not doing more with this?
Disappointing. That was *totally* safe for work.
Ryan was chosen for competence. Biden was chosen because he makes America look as stupid as he looks every time he opens his mouth.
As an added benefit, Biden is also a good way to keep obama safe...after all, who wants Biden to be the president?
I'll be proud when Ryan is the VP but I'll miss these comments.... I nearly spit my coffee out....
He's like town idiot I never knew.
Dirty Jokes aside. Scranton Joe Biden is right when he says Cheerleaders are athletes. If you watch the national championships, you will be amazed.
If the Cheer & Dance squads were recognized by the NCAA it would reduce the Title 9 killing of mens sports.
Probably the best R Corman film ever.
Honestly, I don't disagree with the man, (first time for everything). I would not want to be the thrown 20 feet in the air while twirling on all three axis' and depend on a couple off 100 pound girls to break my fall, with no protection and only a wooden gym floor to break my fall if they miss.
I think he knew exactly what he was saying - for the amusement of his perverted comrades who, for multiple generations, have been infesting the Eyes Wide Shut hard woodwork of the termite mound surrounding the national cathedral.
Morals are for the little people.

An item M plus 15% tax is $100.
M = 100/1.15 = 86.95 (not 85)
The fraction 3/23 only works for 15%
I'm doing a problem that's are tax inclusive & exclusive. Finding tax.
Doing a basic example involving $100 including tax. tax rate is 15%.
I was taught at school this method.
and therefore tax is $15.
Then $85 (excluding tax). If I wanted to go back to tax inclusive you add 15% on top of cost price.
It doesn't come back to the correct amount tax inclusive of $100.
Here is the proper calculation formula I was given to use. 100 * (3/23)
and yes that method is right.
Because that method is correct, can anyone explain to me algebraically as to how they derived the formula: Price (tax inclusive) * (3/23) based on a 15% tax rate and why isn't my old method not correct?
It's because 15% of $100 is not the same amount as 15% of $85. To reverse the tax, and thus reverse the multiplication by 0.85, you must multiply by which turns out to be 1.17647 rounded, not quite 1.15. Which explains why you don't get the $100 total back.
Now note that , can you notice something?
As Bacterius said, with percents you always have to consider the "base". The tax on a purchase is 15% of the price without the tax added, then add the tax to get the price with tax. Here, you do not know, but want to find, the purchase price without the tax. If we call that price "P", the we have 15% of P or 0.15P. To find the price with the the tax, add P and 0.15P: P+ 0.15P= (1+ 0.15)P= 1.15P. You are told that the price "including tax" is $100 so you have 1.15P= 100. You can find the price without tax by dividing both sides by 1.15.

Judgement Day in Africa
Ten months ago, in March of 2012, I wrote about the awakening of radical Islam in Africa. We noted at the time that in the countries of North Africa – Morocco, Algeria, Libya and Tunisia – the organization called "al-Qaeda of the Maghreb" operates, and from time to time kidnaps and murders tourists and professionals such as engineers who come to these countries as tourists or to perform specific functions. My conclusion at that time was:
The population of Africa is involved in a series of disputes with a tribal background, and in which the Islamist and ethnic components play an important, and sometimes critical part. The combination of Saudi Arabian money, Wahhabi propaganda, the presence of terror organizations and wide distribution of weapons (some of which disappeared from weapons storehouses of the Libyan army as a result of the fall of Qadhaffi), does not contribute to the easing of relations between various groups of the African population, and developing trends also do not indicate a tendency toward calm. Recent events in Algeria are the proof of what was already apparent: an area that is neglected by the government will become a hothouse for terror. Most of the territory of Algeria, which is more than ten times the size of Israel, is located in the vast, largely unpopulated Sahara Desert. There are small concentrations of population situated near sources of livelihood such as a spring or a well, and recently, mines and sources of energy – oil and gas. These clusters are isolated and exposed to armed groups that roam the area freely, propounding slogans and messages characteristic of al-Qaeda.
One of these groups, which calls itself the "Signed-in-Blood," under the command of Mukhtar Belmukhtar, and numbering about forty fighters, carried out the attack on the gas drilling installation in 'Ayn Aminas, abducted about 700 workers, some of whom were European, and held them as hostages. The subsequent attack of the Algerian army on the gas installation caused 55 fatalities: 32 terrorists and 23 hostages, and freed 685 Algerian workers and 107 foreign workers. The attackers, who arrived in several all-terrain vehicles, used heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, grenades and personal weapons, and a number of Algerian soldiers were killed and wounded in the course of the battle with them.
The world, especially the European countries, severely criticized the clumsy and unprofessional way that the Algerians dealt with the matter. In response, the government of Algeria defends itself with the claim that if they had not acted quickly and decisively, the number of victims would have been far greater.
The natural question is why a gas production facility was attacked, and what motivates the terror organizations to harm especially Algeria. The answer has to do with the developments of recent years in North Africa. The dictators of these states rule their oppressed peoples by the use of force. When Libya fell, along with it fell the doctrine that guided the West, according to which these dictators will deal in the accepted way in Africa (with determination and ruthlessness) with terrorist elements such as al-Qaeda of the Maghreb, who roam the area, threatening to overthrow the fragile regimes and establish upon their ruins Islamic states that will then export terrorism to the more affluent parts of the world.
Radical Islamic agents are involved up to their necks in the wars of Mali and Somalia and in battles that are being waged in Libya, Tunisia, Niger, Nigeria and in Kenya. The murder of the American ambassador in Libya last September was only one example of these groups' activities. The governmental chaos that reigns in these countries creates a situation that allows the jihadi organizations to control vast territories, which serve them as a base for organization, storage of armaments and training, so that they can continue their efforts to bring down African states, whose illegitimate boundaries were demarcated by colonialism, with the aim of dismantling the nation of Islam into small, weak units.
European workers who come to the African countries are perceived as an offshoot of colonialism, because their whole task – in the eyes of the jihadists – is to strengthen Western hegemony over the peoples of Africa, on their habitat and their natural resources, to employ and exploit them and turn them again into slaves of the smug and arrogant West. That is why these organizations abduct European workers; it is to discourage other Europeans from coming. And the ransom money paid by the companies greases the wheels of these jihadi organizations. They spend the infidels' money on acquisition of weapons, ammunition, communications equipment, navigation equipment and vehicles, and the money also allows the organizations to purchase collaborative activity from other groups among the population, and to bribe governmental officials and military and intelligence personnel.
These jihadist groups are not unified; on the contrary, they compete with each other. The leader of al-Qaeda of the Maghreb, Abdul Hamid abu Zaid, prefers small-scale subversive actions, like terror attacks and abductions, more than wide-scale actions with many casualties such as that which was carried out by Belmukhtar in the gas facility in Algeria. Abu Zaid believes that large-scale actions such as 9/11 2001 could provoke the West into large-scale action against the jihadists, similar to that in Afghanistan, while small actions such as blowing up the American embassy in Nairobi the capital of Kenya, and in Dar a-Salam the capital of Tanzania (August 1998) achieve the goal without giving the West a reason to launch wide-scale, destructive military operations.
THE QUESTION FOR the governments of the United States, France and other NATO countries is what to do about these developments in Africa. Clearly, if the Islamist organizations are left alone, they will establish "Islamic Emirates" in Africa, which will export terror like Afghanistan did after Osama bin Laden took over. On the other hand, the continuing failure of the West to bring a legitimate, effective and stable regime to Afghanistan and Iraq proves that Westerners cannot cure the ills of these countries by spreading ideas of democracy.
France took initiative three weeks ago and intervened in the war being conducted in Mali using French air and ground forces. Will France succeed to free the two thirds of the territory of Mali that are today under the control of radical Islamists? Perhaps, but the achievement will be short-lived, because (a) the jihadists can easily move to other places where there is no French army, and (b) as long as people remain living in the area, the radical Islamists can hide among them, and emerge to attack the occupying forces.
In Washington there are deep differences of opinion: the Pentagon and Defense Department understand that if the United States doesn't deal with the problem of Africa at its core, African jihad will spill over into Europe and the United States, and then the United States will be forced to get involved, as happened in Afghanistan, and therefore it is better to take care of the problem while it is still small.
The White House and State Department, on the other hand, are very much against any military involvement in Africa because the president and the diplomats think that American occupation is the main factor that agitates and radicalizes the relationships between the United States and other countries, and introducing American soldiers on African soil – which may deteriorate into severe violence, with fatalities and wounded – will only damage the American image and arouse opposition to the West and the renewed Western colonialist hegemony in Africa; American solders will be wounded and returned to the United States in coffins and the chances to sell the African peoples on American-made democracy will decrease.
The White House and U.S. State Department prefer to send weapons, equipment and money to existing heads of state to help them stand strong against the attacks of the Islamist militias, to help their armies by supplying intelligence, just as NATO helped the rebels against Qadhaffi with attacks from the air, without a single Western soldier setting foot on Libyan soil. But there is some doubt as to whether support such as weapons, ammunition, equipment and money actually reach the intended hands, because the governments in the African states are infiltrated by hostile agents, who collaborate behind the scenes with the jihadists, and the bribery and protectionism that exist within those governmental systems supported by the West, arouse the rage of the jihadists even without the involvement of Western soldiers.
The increasingly complex jihadist muddle in Africa raises concern about harm to the stability of Europe, because African and Muslim immigrants who live in Europe might damage the infrastructures of the host countries in revenge for the Western activities in Africa, and this may cause severe harm to the economy of Europe, which is in poor shape to begin with. The status of European Jews might be harmed also, because peculiarly, Africans and Muslims might direct their rage against the Jews.

I had been keen to visit St Lucia, the island that Foder's describes as "one of the most beautiful in the Caribbean", since our special Destination page in May last year. And it didn't fail to live up to the claims.
The breathtaking scenery hit me immediately as I started the hour-long taxi journey from the south to the north of the island. St Lucia is well known for its beaches, but it was the dramatic, mountainous terrain that stood out -- a volcanic landscape against a tropical rainforest.
I spent the week at the 5-star all-inclusive resort bodyholiday LeSPORT. It brought all-inclusive to a whole new level. Even before I arrived at the resort, I was encouraged by a bodyholiday consultant to schedule in my treatments and wellness programme. The Sunday Times voted the spa one of the top three international spas worldwide in its 2011 Travel Reader's Awards and my trip included one free treatment each day. For some, this is the highlight of their stay. But I was drawn to the comprehensive activity programme.
The resort offers a wide variety of sports and classes -- far too many to list here. The gym was one of the best equipped I have ever seen at a resort, and the climb up the 50+ stairs to get to it was a fitting warm up. My workout was under the scrutiny of the well-known resident fitness instructor Felix, who is a former body-building champion of the Caribbean. You can't help but leave feeling a little inadequate.
I had my appointments set prior to my visit and started the week with a 30-minute sailing lesson. Soon it was just me, the HobiCat and the light winds. I managed to sail back to the shore with no great panic and took to the water most days. Tuesday, I joined the tennis session, which was very sociable and gave me the opportunity to mix with other guests. It's through the activities that you understand why this resort is so popular with solo travellers. There is plenty to do all day and during the evening you have the option to join a group table to meet other guests who are also travelling alone. Needless to say, they were the liveliest bunch during the week.
With everything catered for, it was difficult to justify a visit away from the resort. There are many places to visit on the island, but I was most interested in the Pitons, which soar half a mile over the ocean. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the twin peaks are best seen from the sea. I opted to take a 38-foot catamaran from the beautiful Marigot Bay -- the 2-hour sailing was possibly the most relaxing part of my entire holiday.
After my activity-filled days I did not feel at all guilty about taking advantage of the wonderful dining and bar facilities. I watched the sun set most evenings at The Clubhouse bar, with Piton beer in hand. The dining in the Cariblue restaurant was superb. The ingredients are fresh and you are always given a healthy option. It was, however, difficult to turn down the complimentary wine.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the bodyholiday and a week wasn't really enough. Having set off with some trepidation and the worry that fellow guests would be bronzed goddesses, I was relieved to find that this resort catered for all shapes and sizes. And with all the activities and spa treatments, you can certainly treat your body like a temple during the day, but for me, the dancing and socialising in the bar at night was one of the main highlights.

Too many extremesFebruary 16,2013
Too many extremes
Im a little confused. Heres my dilemma: When I hear the word suicide mentioned I think of one taking ones own life. That much I think I have correct. When I think of the term physician-assisted suicide it seems to change the basic essence of the meaning, as it seems to redefine the word in that suicide is now a group process that someone is giving their blessing to the cessation of life? Do I have that right?
Why, in our society, do we think that we have to continually re-invent the wheel?
We have (and continue to do so) done this in ethics, where relativism says there is no right/wrong; we have done this in the redefinition of the marriage and family structure; we have done this in history as to change the outcome to justify our beliefs.
Another quandary is this: How do we envision, i.e., what goes through our minds when we hear the word suicide used in its various contexts?
A rock star commits suicide; how is that looked at by fans? Does it yield more or less notoriety/popularity? Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among teenagers; its been reported that suicide is on the rise in families of members of the U.S. Armed Services; increasingly, more violent crimes are being committed by persons who choose afterward to end their own lives.
Why does it seem that suicide is honorable in some cases, while tragic in others?
Do you see the confusion that results from this issue?
Is life, that God-given thing we talk about in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and sacred Scripture precious or not? One other question is that of eternity, which might be a moot point to some, but what if it is true, according to God? Does this fit into the conversation?
Finally, God put some of us on this earth to take care of those who need the assistance. Thats His job description. Were not trying to put ourselves out of a job.

Commission to hear Powers Crossroads expansion plans
The Coweta County Commission will hold a public hearing April 17 on a proposal aimed at expanding the number of events held per year on the Powers Crossroads Festival property in west Coweta County.
The public hearing will include the request to rezone the 60.35-acre property at Ga. Highway 34 and Thomas Powers Road from Rural Conservation (RC) and Old Commercial (C) to RC-SUP (Rural Conservation-Special Use Permit) and C-SUP (Commercial-Special Use Permit). If successful, the site will become the home for four major events per year and several minor events each month.
Proposed plans for the site include four major events per year such as music concerts, food festivals, arts and crafts festivals, charity dinners and events, rally events, monster truck events, historic reenactments and local or regional fairs. These events are expected to draw 5,000-10,000 people per day with a timeline of 1-5 days per event. Hours of operation would be 8 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. each day.
Plans also include proposed minor events such as antique car shows, family reunions, school reunions, weddings and receptions, corporate parties/picnics, camping opportunities, tree climbing groups, team building programs, horse/dog shows, church picnics, orienteering/survival skill workshops, summer camps, yard sales/flea markets and holiday activities.
Proposed to be held several times per month, the events would draw 1,000-5,000 people per day for one or two days per event. The hours of operation would be 8 a.m. until 11:30 p.m.
County planning staff said the applicant has denoted the 2,000 parking spaces to the west of Thomas Powers Road where parking has been established over the years for the Labor Day weekend event. The applicant has also proposed utilizing the southeast corner of the field for a small stage with grass seating and sales of food, beverage and alcohol.
A portion of the festival property is located in Heard County. Heard County Commission Chairman June Jackson in a letter to the Coweta County Commission noted the sale of alcohol would have a negative affect in the portion of the property located in Heard County.
The county's planning department is recommending approval of the rezoning request with 17 conditions.
The annual Powers Crossroads Festival has operated on the property since 1971.

trousers: topshop
Beigel actually has a more grumpy photo face than me! He always looks like such a misery guts. Went to the vets the other day and we were told he needs to lose a quarter of his body weight. He's 6kg which I guess is quite a lot for a tiny pooch! Less treats and smaller portion sizes, same goes for me since I feel bad eating around him and could do with a little slimming down myself!
Today marked the day I wore my faux leather skinny trousers that I got yesterday with an exchange. Had a bit of trouble doing them up at first since it's hard to pull a zip straight when it's behind you! Had a panic moment thinking I'd put on weight but after that hiccup I found they were surprisingly comfy. Think my bum was a little too 'out there' today though, could be worse though! Also gave the jumper its debut today since the weather was so bad, it's so soft! It comes in blue too which is really lovely! If I was made out of money I'd totally get that one as well!
Not really liking the look of this lighting, I took some photos when I got in but they were blurry and then Chinese food and EastEnders got in the way. Looks like a lot of my photos are going to look like this again soon anyway as the days are getting shorter and all!

What is in this article?:
- New Lipan pecan variety offers good yield, disease resistance
- Want early nut production
• The new pecan variety Lipan — released as a trial variety by USDA-ARS last July — is a large, high-quality nut which generates excellent yields and improved disease resistance.
• The Lipan pecan should make money for growers, says USDA-ARS pecan breeder Tommy Thompson.
• Thompson bred the Lipan variety — Carya illinoinensis, the ARS' 29th pecan release - at the agency's pecan breeding and genetics laboratory in College Station, Texas.
• Graft wood has been released to 35 nurseries in the U.S.
The new pecan variety Lipan — released as a trial variety last July — is a large, high-quality nut which generates excellent yields and improved disease resistance.
"The Lipan pecan should make money for growers," according to USDA-Agricultural Research Service (ARS) pecan breeder Tommy Thompson.
Thompson bred the Lipan variety - Carya illinoinensis— the ARS' 29th pecan release, at the agency's pecan breeding and genetics laboratory in College Station, Texas. Graft wood has been released to 35 nurseries around the U.S.
"The Lipan pecan will be a high contributor in commercial pecan orchards with improved yield potential and excellent resistance to pecan scab disease," Thompson says.
Thompson discussed the Lipan variety during the 46th annual Western Pecan Growers Association Conference held in Las Cruces, N.M. this spring.
"We are very excited about Lipan," Thompson told the pecan crowd.
Lipan produces about a 2,500-pounds-per-acre yield. About 45 Lipan pecans constitute one pound of in-shell nuts; a lower per-pecan number than many standard varieties, including Pawnee. This means Lipan pecans are larger than Pawnee — the most popular-planted variety in the world.
The percent shell kernel rates in the low-to-mid-50 range which is better than average.
"The shelling qualities of the Lipan pecan are excellent," Thompson told the crowd. "Lipan shells out into complete halves which have a very good color. The Lipan variety should be very desirable for consumers for baking use, fresh consumption, and other uses."
Another positive of the Lipan is its strong tree structure and resistance to strong wind. Lipan is an excellent pollenizer for the Kanza, Wichita, and Lakota pecan varieties.
Pecan scab, caused by the fungus Cladosporium caryigenum, is the most widespread and destructive pecan disease. Infected nut shucks (husks) receive the primary damage which can cause the premature fall of nuts to the ground and reduced nut size. Scab also impacts pecan leaves. The tree is weakened by repeated infections.
USDA-ARS conducts the only pecan breeding program in the world except for a small breeding facility in Georgia which breeds only for Georgia and patents all its varieties. USDA pecan varieties are not patented. After an ARS release, growers can freely propagate the new varieties.
"Lipan is a trial cultivar at this point," Thompson said. "We think pecan producers will like it."
All ARS-developed varieties — except for the first, Barton — are named after American Indian Tribes. The Lipan Tribe is an Apache Tribe from the Rio Grande River and Mexico areas.
Lipan can be grown in all pecan-growing areas of the world except in extreme northern U.S. production areas. The pecans can be sold in-shell or shelled to produce a large proportion of halves and large pieces.
Lipan, an early-maturing nut, is harvested around Oct. 4. This is about 10-14 days after the Pawnee harvest (Sept. 22), and about 17 days before the Desirable variety (Oct. 21) and 20 days before the Wichita (Oct. 24).
Pawnee, Lipan's male parent, is the first variety considered an early-harvest variety. Pawnee is currently the most popular planted variety in the world.

Undergraduate Business
Welcome to the Division of Business
Those Who Ran the Boardrooms Now Teach in Our Classrooms
Our executive-based learning program offers a unique and highly innovative approach to business education. In addition to strong academic credentials, most business professors at Molloy have had extensive careers in a wide range of fields, from accounting and finance to marketing and management. Bringing the benefit of their past experience to the classroom, our faculty makes business education come alive for the student.
At Molloy we focus on providing students not only with a strong academic background but also with the professional skills necessary to compete in today's competitive business environment. Extensive conversations with our Business Advisory Board have led to the development of our "Four Pillars" of business education: excellence in writing, public speaking, technical skills and ethics. The ability to express oneself concisely both orally and in writing, proficiency in computer skills such as Excel and PowerPoint, and a strong grounding in how to deal with ethical dilemmas are at the core of our teaching philosophy. We recognize that our students' ability to master each of these pillars is key to long term success in their chosen field. Accordingly, we have embraced these principles and have incorporated each of them in every business course offered at Molloy.
Full time employment in one's career of choice is clearly the ultimate goal of most business students, and our faculty is committed to partnering with our students in this endeavor. We emphasize the importance of obtaining multiple professional internships during the undergraduate years in developing a resume that will give our students a competitive edge with employers. Unlike most other colleges, at Molloy we have a dedicated career placement resource within the Business Division that is available to our students to guide and assist them through this process from the day they arrive on campus.
If you'd like to jump start your business education in a program dedicated to academic excellence and active practical learning, come visit us. Meet our faculty and students, visit our state of the art trading room and explore for yourself the opportunities that Molloy business can provide you.

Section 2.2: Instantaneous Velocity
In this section we're going to touch on the mathematical concept of derivatives. We won't get into a rigorous sense of it until quite a few more Calc sections, but this is a good opportunity to get an intuitive sense.
By "instantaneous velocity" we simply mean the velocity at a particular point in time. Note, we don't mean the velocity over a very small period of time – we mean the velocity at a single point.
More rigorously, the instantaneous velocity represents how position is changing as time changes at a particular time.
Recall in the last section we talked about , where the delta refers to change. That fraction is called "average velocity" because it's referring to the change in position over a certain amount of time. Note the difference: Average velocity is the change in position over a span of time. Instantaneous velocity is how position changes with respect to time at a particular instant.
Another way to think of it is using the mathematical concept of limits. Once again, I'll save the rigor for the calc blogs. Here's the basic idea: Imagine you start with the average velocity equation. That is, you say "position will change by a certain amount as time changes by a certain amount." Now imagine you start shrinking the amount of time change we're talking about, slowly zeroing in on a particular point in time. If you keep doing this, the time span in question approaches 0.
A limit is simply what you get as you bring that time span closer and closer to zero. Thus, we say "Take the limit of as approaches 0. When we do so, we get the instantaneous velocity.
We denote the instantaneous velocity simply as v. But, what's under the hood is something a bit more meaningful: . The d refers to the instantaneous change. So, when we say dx/dt we're referring to how position changes with time at a particular instant.
Allow me a quick digression: The dx/dt notation is a little weird since it's better about showing you what you've got than what you're doing. A better way to say it might be this: You have an operation "d/dt." You can run it on things, such as x. What the operation does is it asks a variable how it changes with time.
So, say you're in a car. You know a number of facts about how things change in this car over time. You know speed, but perhaps you also know temperature (T) and brightness (B) and how much the car smells like the creamer rotting under the seat (C). Using your d/dt operation, you can ask the instantaneous temperature change, dT/dt, or the instantaneous birghtness change (dB/dt) or the instantaneous stankness change, dC/dt. So, when you see something like dx/dt, don't just think of it as a ratio. It's more than that. It's a question you ask of x.
Additionally, it doesn't have to be d/dt (instantaneous change of something per change in time). It could be per change in height or change in size or change in stankness. dt is just very common, since when we talk about changing systems, we usually mean their change with respect to time.
End of digression.
Now, with all that said we don't learn how the operator works here. I'll fill you in on that when we get there at calc. For now, try to build up that intuition.
The other intuitive idea here is what dx/dt looks like on a graph. Imagine you have a sinusoid curve. So, a curve that wobbles up and down. Imagine the curve represents your position in the x direction over time. Since it's sinuisoid, it bounces periodically from 1 to -1 over and over. Think of a man pacing back and forth, or a pendulum swinging, or a yoyo going up and down. In the motion of that pacing man, there are many different velocities. When he's mid stride between two points, he's going fairly fast. When he's slowing to turn around, he briefly is going at a velocity of zero. The instantaneous velocity at a point is just how fast he's going at that time.
Now here's the cute part. Imagine you take two points in sinx and draw a line between them. The slope of that line represents the average velocity over that time period, right? The slope is the rise over the run, which in this case is the position change over the time change. Now, imagine you slowly shorten the distance between the two points you selected. Remind you of anything?
That's right. We're taking the limit. And when we take the limit, we get the instantaneous velocity, aka the derivative of the position! Once you zero in on a point, at that particular point you'll have a certain value. Go ahead and try this at a few points on a graph yourself. You'll quickly notice a pattern. At each point, you'll have a line that runs just along the edge of the curve. That is, a line that is "tangent" to the curve. The slope of that line is the derivative at that point, aka the instantaneous velocity.
So, there are two big ideas here. First, the idea of the derivative, aka the instantaneous rate of change. Second, there's the idea that the derivative of your position is your velocity. That is, the change of position with respect to time (that is, the d/dt of x) is the same as the velocity! So, practically speaking, if you have an equation that describes your position, you can use that equation to get the velocity. Neato!
Now, can you guys what would happen if you took dv/dt ?

If we need to see police to behave, we are too soft on criminals, or we have too many criminals waiting to act as soon as there is no police around.From ABC, 20 Nov. 07
The New South Wales Opposition has criticised the Government over new figures showing the number of people assaulted in the past year has increased by 50,000.
The latest crime-victim survey from the Australian Bureau of Statistics found 240,000 people were assaulted or threatened with assault in NSW, compared to 190,000 the year before.
Opposition police spokesman Mike Gallacher says the Government is failing to address the issue adequately.
"It really does fly in the face of all the rhetoric and spin that we hear from the Government virtually day in, day out," he said.
"The Premier is out there saying that they're on top of things when it comes to law and order and they're starting to turn it around.
"These figures speak for themselves. - 1,000 a week and there's no suggestion that they're stemming the tide."
Mr Gallacher says police numbers continue to be an issue and the courts need to be a part of the equation.
"The Government continues to say they've got large numbers of police but where in heaven's name are they?" he asked.
"We're just not seeing them and if we've got these tens of thousands of police roaming the streets, why is it that there is no visible police presence on our streets?"

Gastar Exploration (NYSEMKT:GST) has had quite a year so far and its stock has run as a result. After settling a major lawsuit, buying and selling assets, achieving a number of well results, and growing production and reserves considerably, Gastar's stock is up 3.5x from its price at the start of the year.
However, there may still be considerable embedded value in Gastar, potentially well beyond the current share price. Gastar's CEO recently said that just Gastar's Marcellus is worth $4.50 per share and could be worth $7.00 per share with further development. It appears that the Marcellus value is now at least somewhat priced into the price of the stock.
What is missing in the current stock price and market valuation is value for Gastar's Hunton Lime play. There are two ways analysts have estimated the value of Gastar's Hunton to date (excluding the recently announced WEHU acquisition). One has been to just give credit for the cost of the acreage, roughly $75 million, or ~$1.21 per share. Another has been to give $1 NPV per identified location and "risk" the number of locations to only give credit for 1/3 of them. With 275 identified locations, that comes to ~$92 million, or ~$1.50 per share. If this is added to the CEO's estimate of the current Marcellus value, this sums to ~$5.71 - $6 per share.
However, that NPV number may be far too low. In recent commentary at conferences and investment bank led calls with institutional investors (incidentally, addressing the issue of low institutional ownership), the CEO has cited a likely NPV of ~$5 million per Hunton well (this ties with the type curve and IRR in Gastar's recent presentation). Using the same 1/3 risk factor from the above analyst math and the 275 identified locations, that comes to approximately $458 million in likely, heavily risked NPV value, or an additional $7.45 per share. Adding that to the CEO's estimate of the current value of the Marcellus yields ~$11.95 per share, versus the current $4.30 share price.
While there are numerous assumptions associated with this potential value, it is not far off from the ~$9 per share value that would be seen if Gastar traded in line on an EV/2013 EBITDA multiple with competitors like Rex (NASDAQ:REXX) and Goodrich (GDP). And this math is very similar to the math used by analysts to justify price targets for REXX and GDP that are substantially higher than the current prices of those stocks.
For example, the math I've seen used for Goodrich is driven by acreage values in the TMS (Tuscaloosa Marine Shale). At ~$3,000 per acre, GDP at its current $27.25 share price is considered more or less fairly valued. However, if TMS were to rise in value to $5,000 per acre, which analysts are saying is likely considering positive recent well results, analysts say this could translate to a $40 share price.
And similar math works for REXX in the Utica, where REXX's 20,000 acres in the Utica could potentially rise in value from the current implied ~$20,000 per acre and could justify analyst price targets above the recent $20.69 share price.
As additional institutional investors cycle into Gastar, and as investment bank research analysts pay more attention to Gastar or initiate coverage on it, the above "shale math" of NPV per well and value per acre will likely be applied more to Gastar as it has been to its competitors. And analyst price targets will likely rise as that math is applied, particularly as Gastar continues to announce positive well results in the Hunton. The most recent well, the MidCon 5, would have been the best well in the play if there were not mechanical issues, according to Gastar's CEO. And as Gastar moves toward operating more of the wells it drills, there will likely be fewer mechanical issues, as Gastar has demonstrated it is a capable operator in the Marcellus. This will further drive consistent well results and more prevalent use of shale math.
In summary, Gastar's NPV, based on the numbers it presented and math shared by its CEO, is well in excess of the current share price, albeit contingent on a number of assumptions such as the price of oil and gas, availability of financing, and operating ability. And there is substantial upside beyond these NPV numbers as the "risk factor" of one-third is potentially reduced as more successful wells are drilled. This math is already used by analysts to justify price targets much higher than current share prices for Goodrich and Rex, and may be applied more for Gastar as it achieves drilling success in the Hunton.

Gardening in Glass
Yes, that's a mini can of Schlitz in the terrarium above (click on the pic and it will get big). Matti transformed a brown plastic dog in to our border collie Max with a Sharpie. Want to learn how to make your own awesome terrarium? Take a terrarium class at workshop. here in San Francisco. They offer a bunch of rad classes like: Late Night Screening, DIY Living Walls, Heavy Metal Aerobics and a bunch more.
This is one of our older terrariums. Maybe six months or so ago I threw in some extra sundews I had to see what they would do. I don't think they love it, but they seem to be doing alright. I don't really do much with it, except throw some water in every couple weeks. It would probably be happier in a less sunny spot.
Who said you can't put succulents in a moist, hot spot? Several months ago I stuck some random sedums from the backyard in this closed terrarium and they're doing fine.
We were out back gardening a few weeks ago, when our sweet neighbor Johnny came out with this cool underwater present. If you look super close you can see the big black eye of one of the shrimps in there. There are some tiny little snails crawling around too. I think he made it with stuff he bought at the local aquarium shop. I kind of want to try making my own little underwater world.
One of the best things about sundews is that they reproduce with wild abandon. I've harvested tons of babies from my first plant. This guy was jammed in a little glass container about three or four months ago. It's growing🙂
Here are some more cool terrarium resources:

These are awesome!!! I tried a few sux in terrariums and mine all did very poorly! Probably too much water…but it scared me too much to ever try again! Maybe one day!!! The sundews are a good choice for this…I saw one at Lowes today too..hmmmmmmm…….

Wow, never heard of sundews! I will need to look for some. So cool and interesting!

Maybe it's a reaction to years of PBR gut rot, or we just need something stiffer to drown our recession-fueled woes, but classic cocktails are making a comeback. Ski town distilleries are cropping up like Bieber babies, and they're making some of the best small-batch hooch we've tasted. Even hyper-conservative Utah re-wrote its liquor laws to get distilleries in Park City and Ogden. Load up your liquor cabinet with mountain-made alcohol.
High West broke the Utah mold: It was the first distillery in the state since the 1870s. Founded by a former biochemist, HW's spirits are like science experiments gone very right. Silver—made from oats, not rye—is no exception.

Scored a ticket to the sold-out fest in Indio, CA this weekend? Then the hard part is over. We've got some tips to help you enjoy it to the fullest.
Insider Tips:
Drink lots of water. We meant it. Remember that Indio is, essentially, the desert. No one wants to spend the weekend with heat stroke or dehydration headaches, so keep on guzzlin'. Timestamp your texts.Reception can be hellish, so if you get separated from your friends this helps cut down on confusion. Even better, arrange a meeting place ahead of time. Dress fest appropriately.In a word: layers. Rocking a bikini top is totally acceptable, be but sure to have comfortable, breathable layers to keep you out of the sun and ready to party.Go with the flow.The best-laid plans…usually disintegrate several hours after getting through the gates. Try to see all the bands on your list, but don't freak if things don't go as planned. See the lineup! Who are you most pumped to see?
This is the ultimate fest lover's app and the perfect companion to any big concert this year. With features like 3D navigation, sound flare, ticker messaging, torch, live weather and more, it'll keep you prepared for just about anything.
Familiarize yourself before you get there with this official map
Now's the time to break out all those amazing spring trends you've been dying to wear. Florals, fringe, denim cutoffs, lace – or a combination of several of these – will have people turning heads even in a sea of people. And don't forget a roomy backpack to stash all your stuff (or use as a pillow when you're ready to take a nap).
