The Jersey Shore producers much be worried about their ratings in 2012, and as they say in show business any publicity is better than no publicity. So now we have Snooki's nude photos from her cellphone that were leaked online and posted by blogs everywhere. You can see the redacted nude pictures of Snooki below and click through to the uncensored ones, but we are left asking a simple question. Did she leak the naked images herself? And are they real or fake?
The latest Jersey Shore scandal comes at the same time as reports that the entire cast got into a huge bar fight. What an entire cast of any show is doing in a bar is a mystery unto itself, but it also begs the obvious question. Sounds like a staged event for publicity to gin up ratings doesn't it? And in the same vein we have to ask this about Snooki's cellphone pictures.
What woman in her right mind takes naked photos of herself on a cellular phone while she is alone? For what purpose? She is not in a long-distance relationship where she needs to send pics off to a horny man to keep Jionni LaVelle's interest in their relationship. Pretty much everyone she has had sex with lives in the same house, block, or neighborhood as best I can tell. So if you are going to snap nude shots of yourself, it will be with your boyfriend just to have something funny to talk about, and it will always be his idea. No girl does this just for the heck of it, whether she is respectable or not.
The leaked photos show the reality star in green nail polish, heavy eye shadow, and profusely admiring herself in the camera lens. She appears to be in a hotel bedroom and we think the snaps were taken several months ago. How do we know? Because she is not pregnant in these pictures but we know she is several months knocked up with her first baby. And if you think this is the best she will look post-pregnancy, you probably got that right.
There was some question after they were released if the pictures were fake or really Snooki. They are really Snooki's naked photos, something that her own agent confirmed afterward. "Clearly these are old and personal photos that were not meant for the public. It's a shame someone decided to leak them for obvious personal gain. Indeed. Does anyone else see that Snooki herself, and certainly the Jersey Shore show's ratings, has the most to gain from leaking scandalous photos?
Andy why would her rep be so quick to confirm their legitimacy just adding oil to the fire. Did Snooki lead them herself?
We'll let our readers ponder that question. Meanwhile, you can hunt for the uncensored photos and see way much more here and here and here. Or you can blow up the pictures below to catch a glimpse.
By the way this isn't the first time naked pics of Snooki have hit the internet. See the video below or go right here.

Julie MacSwain, State Public Affairs Specialist, (651) 602-7859
ST PAUL, MN, April 23, 2012 - Agricultural producers looking to solve natural resource problems on their farms should apply now for assistance through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) administered by the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
EQIP is a voluntary program that provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers through contracts up to a maximum term of ten years in length. These contracts provide financial assistance to help plan and implement conservation practices that address natural resource concerns and for opportunities to improve soil, water, plant, animal, air and related resources on agricultural land and non-industrial private forestland. In addition, a purpose of EQIP is to help producers meet Federal, State, Tribal and local environmental regulations.
Applications for EQIP are accepted on a continuous basis, however, NRCS establishes application "cut-off" or submission deadline dates for evaluation and ranking of eligible applications. Completed applications must be received at local NRCS Field Offices throughout Minnesota by June 1 in order to be considered for this scoring period.
To find out more about EQIP in Minnesota, contact your local NRCS field office or visit the MN NRCS website: www.mn.nrcs.usda.gov

BELMAR - Cleanup efforts are underway to clear thousands of rotting dead fish from the Belmar beach just weeks ahead of the busy Memorial Day weekend.
Friday's cleanup came four days after a massive fish kill in the Shark River left thousands of dead moss bunker on the sand.
Officials believe depleted oxygen levels, possibly due to an algae bloom, killed the fish.
READ MORE: Environment Stories
Mayor Matt Doherty says that since Monday, borough work crews have removed 30 tons of dead fish from the beaches.
To date, Belmar DPW has removed 30 tons of dead fish. Will continue cleaning up till all are gone.— Matt Doherty (@belmarmayormatt) May 16, 2014
About 20 people responded to a call for volunteers to help with the cleanup on Friday. They got plastic gloves and bags to collect the fish.
Mayor Doherty thanked the volunteers via a tweet this morning. He punctuated the tweet with the hashtag "#noteatingfishforawhile"
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped clean up the dead fish on the beach this morning. #noteatingfishforawhile pic.twitter.com/r0nTWeZwzK— Matt Doherty (@belmarmayormatt) May 16, 2014
Local inmates from the Monmouth County Jail contributed to the cleanup, removing five tons of the dead fish.
Volunteers are still needed this weekend. Anyone who would like to assist can report to the Neptune Township Municipal Marina from 8 to 10 a.m. to register.

January 7th, 2010 by Nicole Meyer
This just in: The BLM has postponed the roundup of 200 horses living in the Confusion Mountains in Utah, after the agency and the Obama Administration received thousands of emails from IDA supporters yesterday. Here's the scoop, from IDA's Director of Research, Eric Kleiman:
- This afternoon, I spoke with Eric Reid, the Wild Horse and Burro specialist at the BLM's Filmore, Utah field office. He confirmed that the Confusions roundup had been postponed; said he had just received an email today from the Washington office that handles the gather schedule, saying it is being removed from the schedule.
The BLM had planned to conduct this roundup without public comment and no documentation to document the capture. Further, BLM failed to do any current environmental assessment of the impacts of the action, which would have left behind only 70-100 horses in the 235,000-acres public land complex.
Eric continues:
- Reid said that the BLM would now be doing an Environmental Assessment and would now be giving the public the opportunity to comment. He expects the EA to be posted around May 2010. The May EA will include updated census information and other unspecified new data.
- He said that once he receives clearance, there will be a brief blurb on the Utah BLM site regarding reasons why the roundup was postponed. He said the postponement should be reflected in an updated national roundup schedule but he didn't know where on the BLM site that was.
Clearly our letters, calls and emails are having a difference! The Utah horses have been spared . . . at least for now, giving us more time to organize. The more we shine the public spotlight on the BLM's actions, the less this agency can get away with business as usual.
Let's keep it up!
Other updates:
Protesters line street in Los Angeles
An estimated 120 people took to the streets of Los Angeles yesterday to defend America's wild horses and call on Senator Diane Feinstein for help in saving these icons of the West. The colorful rally featuring actor Wendy Malick, IDA, The Cloud Foundation, Return to Freedom and other members of the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign coalition, helped draw attention to the plight of the wild horses of the Calico Mountain Complex in Nevada, who are currently under siege by the BLM.
The event is just one of many being organized across the country, demonstrating the growing outrage of American citizens over the Obama Administration's assault on wild horses. We must keep up the pressure and not waste a moment in our fight to help the wild horses.
Calico update
As of yesterday, the BLM has captured 424 Calico horses, well on their way to the goal of permanently removing 2,500 of these beautiful animals from their homes in the Calico Mountains Complex.
For more info on the Calico horses see this new video by Humanity through Education :

The Shanahan name is one that has been around the NFL for a long time. When you think of the Shanahan name, you think about Mike Shanahan's potent rushing attacks in Denver.
Having the ability of putting any running back behind his offensive line and rushing for 1,000 yards. Or maybe you think of his two Super Bowl victories with arguably one of the top five quarterbacks to play the game in John Elway.
The Shanahan's have been key instruments in helping develop some of the most high-powered offenses in the NFL.
Kyle Shanahan helped turn the Houston Texans into one of the most potent passing attacks in NFL history. Matt Schaub had career numbers passing for more than 4,700 yards in a season. Incredible when you think about it. Not too many people can say that they have accomplished this feat. It ranks in the top 10 in NFL history in terms of passing yards.
Andre Johnson accumulated back-to-back 1,500-yard seasons with Kyle Shanahan as the offensive coordinator.
These guys get the most out of their players on offense. Having both of these guys coaching a guy like Terrelle Pryor will do wonders for him as a player coming into the NFL.

Wow. When you count the year by show year calendar, time sure does fly! On April 30, the 2008-2009 show season ended. Exhibitors have put their feet up, their cats and kittens have a little well-deserved R&R, and then they start looking at the 2009-2010 show calendar which started on May 1!
Seriously though, exhibitors count a year by the weekend. I personally can remember each show, the judges, the rings, the hotel, oh, I can go on and on. And it feels like we just had the 2007-2008 Awards Banquet at our Annual Championship Show.
Now we're just waiting for the Executive Office to finish compiling points, and then … TAH DAH!…the new 2008-2009 international winners and regional winners will be announced! At that time we'll know who Cat of the Year is for TICA! Plus the Best of Breed (cat, kitten and alter) for each breed will also be announced for the show season.
What's REALLY exciting this year is there will be 25 Top International winners this year. That means instead of a Top 20, TICA now will be recognizing the Top 25 Cats, Kittens, Alters, Household Pets and Household Pet Kittens from around the world! I can't tell you who they are yet, but when I can just keep watching your RSS feeds for the big announcement!
This year the Top 25 International winners will receive their awards at the 2009 Awards Banquet held in conjuction with the Aquaticats Cat Show in Orlando, Florida.

TUPELO – A lot has changed for the Hood family over the past year.
The twins, Stephanie and Stacie, are 21-year-old women and a year closer to college graduation.
Matthew is going through the Mississippi Law Enforcement Training Academy, working toward his dream of following in his dad's footsteps and being a Mississippi state trooper.
Their mother, Lisa, enjoys every moment of watching her children grow up.
But despite all the good that has happened over the past year for the family, the man who made it all worthwhile lost his life in a tragic accident on Memorial Day weekend last year.
Mississippi Highway Patrolman Master Sgt. Steve Hood, 50, was killed on a Friday afternoon, May 29, during a high-speed chase near Brice's Crossroads, just miles from his home.
Hood, a 27-year veteran of MHP, was on his way to have dinner with Lisa and the twins when he lost control of his car and flipped several times.
In fact, the last time Lisa Hood saw her husband alive was during that fatal chase.
"We were behind him on our way out to eat that day," said Lisa. "I saw when he turned around to pursue the vehicle that was speeding, so we just went on to the restaurant and waited on him. He never made it there."
Lisa said it wasn't long before Matthew called to tell her that a trooper had been involved in an accident near Brice's Crossroads.
Matthew, who was working as a jailer at the Lee County Jail, didn't tell his mother the man in the accident was his dad. He didn't have to.
"I knew it was Steve when he told me and I knew he was gone," said Lisa. "He had just passed me near that area so I knew it was him. I didn't want to know it but I did."
Hood lost control of his vehicle while chasing a souped-up Trans-Am driven by 25-year-old William Francis. After the accident, Francis was arrested and charged with felony fleeing and eluding a police officer resulting in death.
He is out on $100,000 bond and has an Aug. 23 trial date set in Circuit Court.
Legislation in his honor
Hood's death has had an impact, not only on his family and fellow troopers, but in the legislative arena as well.
Earlier this year, Gov. Haley Barbour signed the Steve Hood Act, which takes effect in July and bans the use of nitrogen oxide on vehicles and motorcycles traveling on Mississippi roads and highways.
Authorities say the suspect's car used nitrogen oxide, propelling his vehicle to speeds well over 100 mph during the chase.
"Nitrous oxide is something that increases speed of vehicles," Rep. Donnie Bell, D-Fulton and vice chairman of the Transportation Committee, told fellow legislators when the bill was being discussed in the House.
"This is like a vehicle on steroids."
Hood's memory also lives on in his fellow troopers. Trooper Ray Hall said despite the passage of a full year, the department still feels the void created by Hood's death.
Although his accident causes troopers to think more cautiously when it comes to high-speed chases, Hall said they still realize their responsibilities.
"We raise our hands and swear to enforce the law and that is not always easy," said Hall. "The laws are set up to protect people from getting hurt, and even though it didn't work in Steve's accident, we will continue to try to do just that. Steve is an inspiration to us all and he will always be missed."
'Reality of his job'
Hood, a native of Cleveland, was a graduate of East Union High School and Northeast Mississippi Community College. He joined the Highway Patrol in 1982, working first in the Starkville district before transferring to New Albany.
It was a job that carried rewards as well as dangers, something his family understood.
"Steve always made sure he found everyone in the house before he went to work to say he loved us," said Lisa, his wife of 26 years. "He was a trooper for 27 years so he knew it was not a guarantee that he'd make it back home every day. That was the reality of his job and he accepted it. But that doesn't make it any easier for us."
Stephanie and Stacie have some big days ahead that they will have to go through without the man they loved and admired. Weddings, graduations, and one day bringing grandchildren home are bittersweet thoughts for the girls.
"We're girls, so we are daddy's girls, of course," said Stephanie. "He was our dad and we can never get that back. I miss the way he used to text us before a big test, or the way he'd call just to say he loved us.
"I used to be so excited when I got home from school on the weekend to walk in the house and he was sitting there waiting for us. But now when I walk in the house he's not there and he will never be again, and that's hard for us."
Lisa and her daughters contrast their situation with that of Francis.
"He had Christmas with his dad last year and he can see his dad, but we no longer have that option. Ours is gone," said Stacie.
The family recently traveled to Washington to attend the National Law Enforcement Memorial Week. While there, they placed a rose in a wreath with Hood's name on it and saw her husband's name engraved in the monument for officers killed in the line of duty.
The visit stirred mixed emotions – sorrow for the way he died, pride for the recognition he received for the career he chose.
"Steve loved being a trooper," said Lisa. "He died doing what he loved. If he had it to do over again he wouldn't hesitate to chase that car to uphold the law."

The agenda for tonight's regular meeting of the Marion Center School Board includes several recurring issues. The board will vote on whether to offer its support for the Challenger Learning Center.
The learning center is supported by several other districts in the county, including Indiana and Homer Center. The center is space-themed and backed by NASA. It would be located here in Indiana County and organizers say it would draw in students from across Western Pennsylvania.
The board will also consider approval of the job description for a school security officer. This is something the board has considered since before the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting in December. One other security improvement up for consideration tonight is the purchase of extra security cameras for the district's buildings. That contract, which will be voted on tonight, comes to more than $57,000. The Marion Center School Board meets tonight at the McCreery Elementary Library at 7:30 p.m. The Indiana School Board also meets tonight for its regular monthly meeting.

Parents of special-needs children say support, prayer make all the differencecomment (0)
March 19, 2009
By Anna Swindle
When Brenda McClelland was in high school, she read "Angel Unaware," a book by Dale Evans Rogers about being a parent with a special-needs child, and prayed that one day, God would give her a Down syndrome child.
Little did the teenage McClelland know that years later, her youngest child, a daughter named Faith, would be born with the disorder.
"She was just meant to be," said McClelland, a member of Eastmont Baptist Church, Montgomery, in Montgomery Baptist Association. "God has a purpose for everything, and [Faith] has pulled me through a lot."
Even though Faith has been a blessing and source of joy, McClelland admits being a full-time caregiver is not an easy task.
She can never leave 34-year-old Faith alone in the house for more than an hour, and Faith relies on her mother for help with things like getting her lunch packed and getting dressed and ready for her workday at a center for the mentally challenged.
"I'm a mother forever," said McClelland, who has been a single mom since Faith was 4 years old. "Faith will never really grow up."
One of McClelland's biggest concerns has always been what Faith's future would be like if something happened to her. It would be a huge responsibility to leave Faith's care to someone else, McClelland said, adding she's also worried about how Faith would handle such a change mentally.
Kelly Gilliland understands what it's like to have a life that revolves around caring for a special-needs child. Her 17-year-old son Ben has cerebral palsy and requires almost constant attention.
"A lot of people don't realize that we can't leave Ben," said Gilliland, a member of North Shelby Baptist Church, Birmingham, in Shelby Baptist Association. "Everything I need to do away from the house, I do before Ben gets home from school."
Ben, a junior at Oak Mountain High School in Birmingham, uses a wheelchair to get around and has aides to help him throughout the school day.
Unlike Faith, Ben may be able to live on his own one day, Gilliland said, and college is definitely an option for him as well.
Ben's grandparents moved to Birmingham about two years ago and have been a big help with his care, but prior to that, Gilliland said it was hard for him to have freedom away from his mom and dad.
Gilliland said her family learned very quickly how important it was to support one another.
"We depend on each other tremendously," she said. "I feel like we are definitely a tighter, closer-knit family because we are together a lot. I guess you're just kind of looking out for each other, making sure each other's needs are met."
McClelland said having a special-needs child has brought her family closer together as well.
"My older kids are more caring because they grew up around Faith," she said. "They had to almost help me raise her, so they learned to be caring toward all people with handicaps."
Gilliland and McClelland wouldn't trade their children for anything in the world, but both said their routines are much affected by having a child with special needs.
Still both mothers work hard to make their children's lives as normal as possible.
"Don't not do things because you're scared," Gilliland said, offering advice to other parents of special-needs children. "Let them experience childhood and also pray a lot."

If anyone doesn't think technology is racing along at breakneck speeds, they just have to check flash densities vs what week it is,
Still about $100, not counting the fake flash card from Foxx*
That's over a trillion bits, unless the flash vendors have decided to skimp and only give us 6.75 bits per byte, kind of like the hard drive vendors redefining K=1000 instead of K=1024. Lets hope they're honest, but in any case, that's still a mind blowing number of bits.
Heck, I remember getting my hands on one of these back when I was first playing with a soldering iron,
That's an 8 by 8 array of BITS, that's right 256 whole bits of memory. Awesome. Ok, that was a long time ago. Never mind, I'm going to start copying my entire library of kids videos onto this trillion bit spec which will probably take all night.
* Yes, in this age of Kickstarters and cheap knockoffs, its pretty easy to buy some second hand flash chips, reprogram a SD controller to lie and say you have 128GB, but start failing after filling up the paltry 16GB or whatever size they back it up with. Figure half your customers will be too lazy to return it, and you have yourself a money making machine. So, any listing on Amazon with no reviews, and a price too good to be true, is probably too good to be true.

In a modern system, random memory access is now the killer. The CPU has cycles to burn. Some of the lessons I've learned on performance recently taught the exact opposite of what was true twenty years ago.
To that end, a modern style of dealing with containers has to be bounded. You need to know where you are, and what your limits are. There's some issue with what operator++() should do when you reach those limits, but the one answer for sure is that it can't just go stepping past and start stomping on whatever's next. To that end, my current libraries have the following concepts for both buffers and containers:
A Range is a beginning and and end.
These never own the storage, they just indicate where it is. This can be used for both the available space to write to, and for the used space containing data within a buffer or container.
A cursor is a range + an iterator.
This is where I've gone a bit past all the other work in C++ containers, but I think this is important. Modern iterators (at least the fun ones), are bidirectional or random access. That means the beginning is as important to keep track of as the end. And copying a cursor should not narrow you to the space you had left, but should allow the copy to head backwards to the front just as easily as progressing to the end.
This also gives us a great data structure for those algorithms like std::rotate() that operate on three iterators.
There have been a lot of people banging around on this for some time. Andrei Alexandrescu wrote a great paper On Iteration that had lots of stuff to say about his implementation of containers and interators for D.

What I and many others ended up with after diving in there was encumbered lists. This is generally frowned upon by advanced C++ people who point out that there is a standard library with a number of "high quality" containers in them. But we arrived at encumbered lists, because we were making lists of polymorphic objects. The STL containers are all made for uniform types.
To provide a bridge, the boost people threw the PIMPL hammer at it.
As I understand it, the original use of PIMPL was to "hide" full class definition from users of the class (usually at library boundaries), and also to significantly speed up compile times for large systems. Compiling has never been an instantaneous process (sadly). Over my career, I've had to deal with more than one system that took hours to rebuild, so knocking time off is more than an academic curiousity.
Applied to the problem of polymorphic objects in containers, you end up with a PIMPL front-ing object, with a hidden implementation behind an abstract interface. Throw in a smart pointer as well to manage life-cycle and you suddenly have problem of memory coherency, because for your first object allocated you get:
I think there's a better way, but its a shame that no one else has actually built anything that gives you the power of containers, the algorythms, but plays well with polymorphic objects.
Labels: c++, programming, stl
auto ptr= new std::string("Hello World") ;
You have a pretty good idea what you're going to get back from new, and the compiler can figure it out, so here you don't have to say it twice.
But when you go to call some advanced routine in the standard libraries, and you really don't have any idea what you're going to get back but you want to save the value in a structure, then having the examples use auto is really annoying. This page on std::async left me very little idea what to do if I wanted to create a data structure that captured running threads:
auto handle = std::async(std::launch::async, parallel_sumOne has to guess at this point that the return values from async are very close to un-nameable, and use templates instead to capture them. This is the very thing that std::function does to wrap up lambdas which are another construct that is practically un-nameable. Interestingly enough, one place auto saves the day when not even template argument deduction would work is with another C++11 feature called initializer lists:
, mid, end); int sum = parallel_sum(beg, mid); return sum + handle.get();
templated_fn({1, 2, 3}); // FAIL - initializer list has no type, and so T cannot be deduced auto al = {10, 11, 12}; // special magic for autothough you can get around the template failure by spelling things out:
templated_fn<std::initializer_list<int>>({1, 2, 3}); // OK
Labels: c++, c++11, programming
He then took the independent C++ library groups to task, not for lack of effort, but for failure of consistency. Even within some of the large libraries (like Boost), pieces don't always well work together.
But unfortunately its worse than that.
Maybe I'm just stuck in my ways, but I worry about a lot of low level details. I worry about memory allocations, I worry about buffer overflow attacks. I try to keep a clear eye on system resource use and even kernel calls. So for instance I don't want to turn std::string loose on a socket and let the inbound communication possibly allocate megabytes of memory. I also want to avoid buffer overflow problems, but with a minimum of overhead, so I almost universally refer to messages as buffers which contain a pointer and a size, and I scan through them using smart pointers which check bounds, but use a minimum of overhead:
buffer_scan pscan( abuffer) ; while ( pscan ) { putchar( * (pscan ++)) ; }Other than coming up with a shorter test case for ending, this isn't much different from how you'd scan through data in C. For iterators on lists, I went even closer to historic C syntax:
btl::tlist piter( alist) ; for ( ; piter ; ++ piter ) { dosomething( * piter ) ; }But I don't even know what I'm getting myself into when I call into std algorithms. Does std::sort or std::merge allocate and use extra memory? Or are they entirely in place? As I scale up am I going to need O(n), O(log n) or just a few extra bytes? And if these things worry about multi-threading, do I end up acquiring system locks and other things just to get my 20,000 items in order?
And where are basic things like memory mapping a file? Or how do you the equivalent of a printf("%.1f\n", dtmp) using iostreams? The best I could come up with was cout << 0.1 * ( std::floor( 10 * dtmp)) << std::endl. Ugh.
So while I'm happy to read through the documentation and code for Boost, and see if there's anything cool in Poco, I'm more looking for things I can steal, than libraries I can use. And unfortunately that means I'm not helping move the state of C++ libraries forward very fast. But at least for the projects I work on, the interfaces will be solid and consistent.

The Ujo pattern was developed from Fujiwo Ishimoto. The designs from Maija Isola have always fascinated the Japanese textile designer – it is no wonder he was inspired by the Nimikko pattern of the Finnish design icon.
The Ujo hand towel transmits simplicity and relaxation as well as the Nimikko, since the clear and tranquil lines remind us of the model. The Marimekko Ujo hand towel ensures timelessly good style, since the stripes pattern by Fujiwo Ishimoto suits in all kinds of rooms because of the clearness and conciseness in design.
The Ujo hand towel is made of 100% cotton with the usual Marimekko quality. The fabric is Eco-Tex certified, which ensures absolutely wealth harmlessness. The Ujo hand towel does wonderfully suit the Nimikko Bath Towel and the Ujo Guest Towel.

Jagan feels insulted, 'Sympathy' multiplies
YSR Congress chief Jagan, who is in judicial custody for sometime now, is using each and every opportunity in his favor.
On Monday, the Chanchalguda prison authorities shifted Jagan in an ordinary escort vehicle (van) to CBI special court for hearing. Despite Jagan being allotted a Z-category security, why he wasn't taken in a bullet proof vehicle? This noticeable flaw has given a chance to the YSR-C Chief and his party men to corner the jail authorities, CBI and the government.
Close sources to the YSRC Chief say, Jagan is feeling insulted for not giving due respect to him inspite of he being an MP-cum-President Of A Political Party-cum-Successful Entrepreneur. While Jagan expressed his displeasure over ill-treatment meted out to him by CBI, his party men were targeting the state government projecting it as a harassment ploy. Of source, the Sakshi media will work round the clock to support their claims and allegations.
Sometimes, one gets a feel that it was Jagan who is actually harassing the CBI and government with his tactics, not vice versa. Whatever the facts might be, Jagan is gaining huge sympathy with such kind of incidents.

This wee...I agree with what you're saying here. This week, our guild split with in itself into two paths. Those who are fine with the hard and tedious, epic VP grind to LFR and would like to stay at that point,casual, to the more hard core who would like to beat their heads against normal 10 mans. They enjoy the wipe fests and benching others and showing up each and every raid.

I wrote this rant on a WoW Insider article because I was exasperated with it all:

"Why does this have to be so damned hard? I was fine with the old model. I don't need "interesting choices" and "gold sinks.

I don't have time to get valor capped each week unless I'm playing 24/7 and I can't run dungeons with my friends because of all of this crapola that's still being flung at us in the unholy name of people complaining about not having enough to do!

I want to play my alts! I love playing my alts, my alts are not happy with this whole idea of a Meta VP grind!"

Since then I've come to accept the idea that I will not get to see the hard core content. For now I'm staying with the LFRs for as long as the guild decides to do them because I have alts I want to level and play.lometahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142294.post-72026187994660464532013-01-23T14:37:15.296+00:002013-01-23T14:37:15.296+00:00Great post.

Where does the term Computer come from?
The origins of the term computer is very straight to the point. Before the term was used to describe a machine that computes, it was first used to call a person who does mathematical computation. This was way back in the 17th century, the period where poets, philosophers, mathematicians, and scientists really flourished.

Objective: The long-term changes in insulin sensitivity and β-cell function in morbidly obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery or standard medical care remain unclear. We prospectively studied longitudinal changes of glucostatic parameters in morbidly obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing RYGB surgery or diabetes support and education (DSE).
Research Methods and Design: Sixty-one morbidly obese subjects (41.7 ± 0.6 kg/m2) with type 2 diabetes mellitus were assigned to RYGB surgery (n = 30) or DSE (n = 31). They were matched for sex, age, and body weight. Insulin sensitivity index (Si) and acute insulin response (AIR) were derived from frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test. Body composition was measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. General linear model with repeated measures was used to examine the longitudinal changes (baseline, 6 months, 12 months) in these parameters.
Results: At 12-month follow-up, significant improvement in obesity measures, body composition, glucose homeostasis, Si, and AIR was observed after RYGB surgery and weight loss. These outcomes were not influenced by preoperative insulin use. Although there were no significant changes in the body composition among DSE subjects, they experienced a decline in the Si and AIR, along with an increase in fasting glucose and HbA1c. The between-group differences in Si and AIR at 12-month follow-up were completely attenuated with adjustment to changes in body weight.
Conclusions: The long-term effects of RYGB surgery on glucostatic parameters are partly dependent on weight loss. In morbidly obese patients with diabetes who were offered DSE, a progressive decline in the glucose homeostasis and glucostatic parameters is observed despite absence of weight gain. (NCT00787670)

I just received the following press release in my inbox.  I actually received this from a co-worker who received it from a co-worker, but it was originally written by Anne Bell at the The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA).  The press release explains the Grant so perfectly that I thought I would share what she wrote with you all.  Congrats to Arcadia, Indiana - this grant will help make your already charming downtown even better! [caption id="attachment_1477" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Pictured: Glen Shrock, Town Council Member; Lt. Governor Becky Skillman; Mitch Russell, Town Representative; Tina Henderson, Grant Administrator."][/caption] Monday, December 14 at a Statehouse ceremony, Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman awarded the Town of Arcadia a $449,160 Community Focus Fund grant for a downtown revitalization project.  The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) administers the grants, which are funded through the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Thirty-three communities and counties were recognized at the ceremony, with grant awards totaling more than $15 million. "Grant opportunities, like this one, allow rural communities to undertake projects they might not otherwise be able to fund,� said Lt. Governor Skillman. "The Community Focus Fund grants provide communities with the resources they need to achieve their long-term development goals and eliminate the barriers that stand in the way of their economic success.�

This project will include the rehabilitation of downtown sidewalks and the placement of new walkways where none currently exist.  Wider pathways, new ADA compliant ramps, and new curbs and gutters will also be installed.  The town will also use grant funding to install period lighting appropriate for the town's architecture.  All of these improvements will help the town capitalize on their growing arts and tourism initiative. The Community Focus Fund grants are awarded twice annually through a competitive application process. Eligible projects include, but are not limited to: community and senior centers, special needs facilities, libraries, water system improvements, storm drainage projects, and sewer system improvements.

There are 11 million underwater homeowners in the US, and sadly, the vast majority of them have been unable to refinance to today's record-breaking low mortgage rates. The government tried to solve the problem by implementing the Home Affordable Refinance Plan, or HARP, in March of 2009. This plan directed the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to accept mortgage refinances on the underwater mortgages that they owned.
Tuning HARP
At first, homeowners found it very difficult to refinance with HARP. Lenders and mortgage insurers were reluctant to risk approving underwater refinances. In response, the Treasury tweaked the program to remove much of that risk. This new version of the program, known as HARP 2.0, has been quite successful. "The typical borrower who refinanced reduced their interest rate by about 1.5 percentage points. On a $200,000 loan, that translates into saving about $2,900 in interest during the next 12 months," explained Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist, in a recent press release. However, of the 11 million underwater homeowners, only one million of them have been able to refinance thus far. One major reason for this is that only mortgages owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac are eligible for HARP.
HARP 3.0 Is a Pet Name, not a Program
HARP 3.0 isn't a real program – it's the nickname given by the media to a slew of proposals designed to improve on HARP 2.0. One proposed enhancement is #MyRefi, which was put forward by the Obama Administration. #MyRefi would make refinancing available to underwater borrowers whose mortgages are not owned by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – for example, people who financed their homes with subprime mortgages, mortgages with negative amortization, Alt-A home loans with no income or asset verification or high-balance jumbo mortgages – in 2005, these mortgages accounted for over 50 percent of home loans closed.
HARP 3.0 Is Fiction -- for Now
If the Administration proposes something, does that make it so? Nope. In order for #MyRefi to become reality, it must be submitted as a bill and approved by Congress. The consensus of most policy wonks is that Congress will continue to be gridlocked during the election season and that #MyRefi will not become law anytime soon. Another HARP tweak making its way through the Senate is SB3085, the Responsible Homeowners Refinancing Act of 2012. It doesn't include non-GSE borrowers, like #MYRefi does, but it does reduce costs to homeowners and eliminates some barriers to HARP refinancing – second mortgage lenders who try to block refinancing, for one. But don't hold your breath for this legislation either – it's been in committee since May 2012, and Congress-watching site GovTrackUS gives this bill a two percent chance of passing.

Parade Is Big Business for Seventh Avenue
Tim Tompkins is President of the Times Square Alliance. He says the TV cameras and crowds are an enormous benefit to hotels, shops and billboard owners along the route.
"There's more and more giant LED signs there, American Eagle has just put up a huge one," Tompkins said. "Part of the reason why people pay very significant rents is the enormous visibility."
Hotel rooms along the route also fetch a premium on this day. The Hotel Association of New York City has said changing taking the route to 6th Avenue would mean a loss of 40 million dollars because there are fewer hotels there.
City Hall hasn't said what course the parade will take in 2011.

PA Senators flip-flop on Medicaid expansion; House pulls the plug on health insurance for 500,000
July 10, 2013 —
HARRISBURG, PA — If Pennsylvania politicians were to accept Medicaid expansion as part of the national Affordable Care Act, which is also known as Obamacare, more than half a million Pennsylvania residents who currently have no health insurance would receive it, and according to the Independent Fiscal Office, the state would save $154 million each year.
Governor Tom Corbett has said he has not made a decision on the matter because in his view it is fiscally unsustainable, even though for the first three years the federal government would pick up 100% of the cost, and thereafter no less than 95%, leaving the state paying no more than 5% of the cost.
It looked for a while that through the budget process, lawmakers were going to force the governor to accept the program. On June 28, the Senate voted with a bipartisan majority of 40 to 10 to include expanded Medicaid as part of the budget process. But two days later, the House took the language out of the legislation and sent it back to the Senate.
According to a press release from Senate Democrats, House Majority Leader Mike Turzai indicated that Senate Republicans knew about the House Republicans' plans to remove the language from the legislation and agreed to go along with it.
Democratic Leader Senator Jay Costa and Democratic Appropriations Chair Senator Vincent J. Hughes went so far as to say they did not believe their Republican colleagues would behave that way. They wrote, "We have the utmost respect for Sen. Pileggi and Sen. Pat Vance and do not believe they would have acted disingenuously and participated in a ruse. We do not believe Republican leadership would abuse the legislative process or the integrity of the Senate by advancing a measure which they knew would fail."
The next day on July 3, however, they changed their tune entirely as they criticized Republican senators, this time for voting against the expansion.
Hughes wrote, "I'm deeply disappointed that Senate Republicans voted against putting Medicaid expansion language back in House Bill 1075… The collective will of the Senate is clearly being ignored. I cannot understand why my colleagues on the Republican side of the aisle voted overwhelmingly for Medicaid expansion just a few days ago but today failed to back up that vote with action."
Setbacks for Corbett

- Are you a Prisoner or a Hostage?
- Do you have a Blueprint for Success?
- Success: How Badly do You Want it?
I will start today's post with a confession: I have a ravenous desire for success, hence this website. Do you have a ravenous desire for success? Are you really hungry for success? How so?
We previously talked about what success means, and how to create a blueprint for your success. I truly believe that your success or failure is all in the mind.
If you really need success and purpose it in your mind then you will succeed. But you need to be hungry for it.
A story is told of a shy young man who wanted to succeed. He saw an older man from his home town fishing. He mustered some courage and approached the highly successful old man and asked, "What is the secret to your success?". Without saying as much as a word to the young man, the old man grabbed him and pushed him down into the lake.
The young man struggled to free himself, but the old man was strong and held him down. After a few minutes of a shockingly fierce struggle the old man pulled out the young from the water. The young man was belligerent and held the old man by the neck. "Why were were you trying to kill me?", he asked.
The old man looked at the young man straight into his eyes and said "You see how much you wanted to breath while under the water. If you shall desire success with such intensity, then my son success shall be right there waiting for you.
Success begins with the mind. All you need is to set realistic goals, with appropriate time lines and have a big enough "WHY".
Have you heard of the Australian movie Rabbit Proof Fence? The film tells the stoy of two Aboriginal girls as they trek/walk for nine weeks along 1,500 miles (2,400 km) of the Australian rabbit-proof fence to return to their home. They had a big enough "WHY" for walking such a lengthy distance.
They were running away from prison to their native community. I am sure we would not be friends for long if I told you to walk with me for mere 100 kilometers "to get to know each other".
If you don't have a big enough reason for doing something, chances are you will not do it. I want to inspire you to succeed. To awaken the giant within you.
What is your goal in life? What do you want to achieve by the end of this year? Do you have a specific goal that you want to get to within the next 30 days?
You have to visualize that which you want, in the most vivid terms possible. The road to success is not paved with gold. Like all good things in life, success comes at a price. Be willing to pay the price, through preparation, burning desire and perseverance.
To succeed, you need to take action.
To take action, you need to have a reason.
A quick and easy way of making yourself desire success is to use the carrot and stick method. Let us say for example that your goal is to get a job straight after college. This is how you might apply the carrot and stick method to drive you to action.
Carrot Way
- Think of the money you will earn.
- Think of the nice holiday you will be able to afford.
- Think of the boost in confidence and opportunities.
Stick Way
- Think of the pile of bills that need to be paid.
- Think of the gaps in your CV that you will create if you stay out of the job market for long.
- Think of the missed opportunities for advancement.
- Think of the shame in failing to answer to the question "What do you do?"
Whatever you goals are, you can apply the carrot and stick method to build that fire within you. The fire that will ignite you into action and help you get to your goals.
Do you have a ravenous desire to succeed. Without that desire, it is hard to take action and overcome obstacles on the road to success.
Most of the obstacles to your success will be mental. Things like fear and self sabotage. Create in your mind a big enough "why" you want to succeed, and the journey to your success will become easier. All the best my friend. May success be upon you.

Check your post...are you sure about the 120? Doesn't that look impossible to you?!
Looks more as if the angle is 120 degrees, and you're to find arc's length...
Inscribed angle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2. As far as I understand your question you have to evaluate the length of the radius first. Use the indicated right triangle. Keep in mind that
3. To determine the length of C use proportions:
Divide triangle into two right angled triangles
Let r=radius. So sin60=3/r root3/2=3/r r=6/root3=6root3/3=2root3
area sector 1/3pir^2 =1/3pi.12=4p
Let height of triangle =h Then tan60=3/h h=3/tan60=root3
Area of triangle=1/2.6.root3=3root3
That's not what's asked for, Biff.
The problem, PROPERLY worded:
chord AB = 6 cm
angle AOB = 120 degrees
calculate length of arc ACB
...to which Earboth shows the steps to solution.
An arc SUPPORTS a central angle; is NOT equal to a number of degrees:
it has its own length, which is part of the circle's circumference.

Reese Witherspoon Welcomes Baby Boy Tennessee
Actress Reese Witherspoon is a mom for the third time after giving birth to a baby boy.
The Legally Blonde star and her husband Jim Toth welcomed son Tennessee James on Thursday.
A representative for the actress tells People.com, "Both mom and baby are healthy and the entire family is thrilled."
The newborn is the couple's first child together - Witherspoon also has two kids with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, daughter Ava, 13, and son Deacon, eight.
Witherspoon and talent agent Toth married last year.

It is unusual – almost unheard of – for a local bill dealing with a matter of national importance to be passed by Parliament. However Manukau City Council can now claim that distinction with the passing of its graffiti legislation on 16 April.
The Council was spending as much as $1million each year on repairing the damage and the wider community spent as much as $5 million. The Council's Manukau Beautification programme does sterling work but was unable to keep up with the scale of the problem.
It therefore asked its City Solicitors to prepare the necessary legislation. Brookfields Partner, Linda O'Reilly drafted the Act. She noted that throughout the process, the Council was concerned to achieve a practical and effective tool that would help it significantly reduce graffiti in the city. This required looking at a range of overseas models before arriving at a tailored local solution.
The Manukau City Council (Control of Graffiti) Act 2008 is only awaiting Royal Assent from the Governor General - basically a rubber stamping of the legislation. It is expected to come into force, as early as next week.
Business owners who sell spray paint cans will have to store these securely. This requirement will come in to force three months after assent, so that shop owners have time to prepare their premises for the change. The Act also prohibits the sale of spray cans in Manukau to any person under 18 and the Council will have the power to remove graffiti on private property, if it is visible from a public place.
Graffiti is not just a problem for Manukau. In recognition of this, after the Council introduced its legislation, the Government responded to the graffiti epidemic by introducing its own Bill to deal with the problem on a nationwide basis.
The Summary Offences (Tagging and Graffiti Vandalism) Bill has passed its first reading in Parliament and is now being considered by the Law and Order Select Committee.
While there are some differences between the two, the Government's Bill draws heavily on concepts contained within the Manukau legislation. It notes in its introductory statement that graffiti vandalism is a serious problem that can create a public perception that tagged places are unsafe and can contribute to the deterioration of the quality of life in certain neighbourhoods.
It is unclear what will become of the new Act, if and when, the Government bill is enacted.
For more information, please contact: Linda O'Reilly, Partner, Brookfields.

There's a crowd in the Diamondbacks' outfield, and it's a situation that stirs the competitive juices for manager A.J. Hinch. It's a numbers game now and will become even more of one when rosters expand Sept. 1.
"It's going to get interesting, and it'll be a true challenge to try and find the right combinations," he said. "I think it's a good problem to have. The one thing I will tell you, the competition amongst the group is a good thing.
"There's too many numbers out there for how many spots there are, so I'll mix and match it and figure out the right way to go. It's a good challenge to have. The guys that are coming up now, the younger guys that haven't gotten to play, have put some pressure on the guys that will be returning. It'll be an interesting September."
Adding a bit more speculation to the mix is left fielder Eric Byrnes, who fractured his left wrist in late June. He left for a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno following batting practice before Saturday's game.
"I feel good," he said. "Hopefully I'll get into the swing of things right away. I'm just looking forward to playing baseball again."
In the short term, Byrnes' goals are playing, getting healthy and getting repetitions, whether with Reno or the Diamondbacks.
"The most-important thing for me is to play baseball and get the feeling back, playing consistently and playing well," he said. "It's been two years, really, since I've played on a consistent basis, and now it's a matter of getting back on track and hopefully finishing the season strong and going into next year and having a nice year."
Hinch expects Byrnes to be in Reno's lineup Sunday.
"I want him to get healthy and get some at-bats and get him swinging the bat the way we know that he can," he said. "He's been out for a while, so it's gonna be how his hand reacts."
In the near future, the Diamondbacks could have a .500 record, a notable accomplishment considering how the season began. Entering Saturday night's game, the Diamondbacks were 10 games below the break-even mark and have played eight above since July 4.
First baseman Josh Whitesell said reaching .500 would be a huge lift.
"That would definitely help us, especially moving forward and going into next year and just being able to play good baseball and end the season on a good note, and just playing hard and putting some wins together would really benefit the club," he said.
Right fielder Justin Upton (right-oblique strain) is in the first stage of recuperation. Hinch said he is "barely" doing rotational drills but will swing a bat soon.
��Chad Tracy and his wife Katie, became parents for the second time with the birth Friday of Brynn Sarah. Tracy said everyone is doing well.

A three-judge appellate court panel has ruled unanimously that Toledo Municipal Court Judge Francis X. Gorman went too far last year when he ordered an ambulance company to pay $5,000 in punitive damages to a woman who was overcharged for a medical run.
The Ohio 6th District Court of Appeals upheld the decision of Judge Gorman that MedCorp had overcharged Veria Hailey for emergency services she received in March, 2002, after she was involved in a traffic accident.
However, Judge William Skow, in writing for the panel, said in a decision released Friday that Ms. Hailey was not entitled to the $1 in compensatory and $5,000 in punitive damages that Judge Gorman awarded to deter future billing conduct.
Judge Skow, who was joined in the decision by Judges Mark Pietrykowski and Dennis Parish, said there was no legal basis for damages.
Ms. Hailey, who complained of dizziness, was transported to the hospital and charged $961 for advanced life support by MedCorp, which has a contract with Lucas County Emergency Medical Services.
After hearing testimony from witnesses, Judge Gorman reduced her bill to $461, finding the extra costs unreasonable and unconscionable and that the incorrect billing was intentional.
Jacob Lowenstein, an attorney who represents MedCorp, said he had not discussed the ruling with his client, and would be unable to comment or say whether an appeal would be filed.
Dan Nathan, an attorney for the plaintiff, said he wouldn't comment on the opinion.

CLEVELAND — Twelve members of a breakaway Amish group were charged with federal hate crimes in beard-cutting attacks on fellow Amish in eastern Ohio, federal prosecutors announced yesterday.
The seven-count indictment against Samuel Mullet and 11 relatives or members of his group includes charges of conspiracy, assault and evidence tampering in what prosecutors say were hate crimes motivated by religious differences.
The five attacks between September and November involved cutting women's hair and men's beards and hair. That's considered deeply offensive in Amish culture.
The indictment also charges four of Mullet's children, a son-in-law, three nephews, the spouses of a niece and nephew and a member of the Mullet community in Bergholz.
Mullet and six of the defendants have been held without bond since their arrests on Nov. 23 in FBI raids on the Mullet compound near Steubenville. The five new defendants are to appear for arraignment.
The indictment alleges a pair of previously unreported assaults in the Bergholz area. It says that on Sept. 24, at the home of one of the defendants, another defendant provided an unnamed victim with a cup of coffee "laced with an over-the-counter product" intended to sicken the victim. It also alleges that, on the same day, three defendants and others enticed the victim to take a walk around the property, then restrained him and removed his beard and hair with scissors.

Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32
Maybe it's just my imagination, but has the parable of the prodigal son become something of a bore lately? I know, I know, this is one of the most beautiful stories of grace in the Bible. And yes, I know this is a powerful archetype of human redemption.
Joshua 5:9-12; Psalm 32; 2 Corinthians 5:16-21; Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32
Numbers 21:4-9; Psalm 107:1-3, 17-22; Ephesians 2:1-10; John 3:14-21
1 Samuel 16:1-13; Psalm 23; Ephesians 5:8-14; John 9:1-41
Psalm 32; 2 Corinthians 5:16-21; Luke 15:11b-32
In my (southern) Baptist tradition, preachers don't generally use the lectionary. If we come up with a decent reflection that's somewhat related to one recognizable biblical passage, it's been a good week. But these three passages together pack a powerful punch.
John 3:14-21
Some years back, I was surprised to hear John called the beginner's Gospel. Surely the Gospel to begin with was Mark, the shortest and most likely the oldest, or Luke, with all those wonderful stories. John seemed to me a second-semester topic—or a graduate-level course. I saw it as an astonishing theological elaboration and re-presentation of the person of Jesus of Nazareth seen in the other books. The testimony of those sources needed to be heard first, I thought, before John's majestically self-describing Christ could be understood.There was an additional reason that I thought it a mistake to hand the fourth Gospel over to "baby Christians." I thought the book dangerous.
In Richard Powers's novel The Echo Maker, a young man suffers a brain injury in an auto accident and is afflicted with Capgras syndrome. When he wakes from a coma, he can see and even recognize family members and friends, but he takes them for impostors.
Joshua 5:9-12; Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32
As we move deeper into Lent and its emphasis on repentance, spiritual introspection, self-examination and self-denial, many of us choose to practice Lenten disciplines. If we have become involved in the season's imagery and expectations, we may find ourselves reading biblical texts from a spare and minimalist perspective.
Ephesians 2:1-10
On Larry King Live the other night, a well-known Christian musician was telling his life story, and it was exactly the kind of story I prefer not to hear from the pulpit. As King peered at him through his owlish glasses, the musician told of being raised in a warm and loving Christian family and of discovering in high school that he was blessed both with a vibrant faith and with a rare musical gift. Eventually shaking off the dust of his little town, he took his faith and his keyboard and headed off toward the bright lights of Nashville, aiming at a career in gospel music.
Samuel, the Billy Graham of his day, was adviser to the political leader Saul, the Pete Rose of ancient Israel. Samuel anointed Saul to be the first king of Israel. But soon (to quote James Thurber), "confusion got its foot in the door" and went through the entire "system." Samuel observed Saul disobeying the explicit word of God, and it became Samuel's job to inform Saul that God had rejected him as king.
