The Atari 2600 iPod battery pack
I spent the weekend in Iowa City and did a little shopping with my brother in law. While we were at a store that buys and sells used video games, I saw a few old Atari 2600 cartridges behind the counter. I always get a little nostalgic when I see those, but most stores sell them for around five dollars. This shop had them for the low low price of $0.94. I stood there staring at the cartridge and realized that I could probably cram a couple of AA batteries along with a couple of 9 volt batteries. I had a feeling I was looking at my next iPod battery pack! I bought one and within minutes of arriving home in Chicago I was cracking that cartridge open.
Atari cartridges are closed by plastic pieces that snap together along the sides and a screw underneath the sticker rigth in the middle. I thought about trying to peel the entire sticker off to get to the sticker, but I wasn't sure if I could do it without tearing it. Instead, I decided to make a small cut and lift the smallest part of the sticker that I could to get to the screw. Once the screw is out, the key to popping it open is simply to push in on the sides with the plastic tabs. Squeeze those sides together and it'll pop right open. Inside you'll find a spring, the data card and the plastic top that would slide up to reveal the card when the cartridge was plugged in.
In order to fit the batteries inside the cartridge, you'll need to do a bit of dremel work. I wound grinding down every piece of plastic inside of there except for one tab and the column that the screw goes into. I kept one tab in there to help seperate the batteries. To be honest, I'm not sure it was too useful to keep that tab in there and next time I might grind it down as well. Once the inside has been cleaned out, you can create the hole for the firewire port. Trace it out and then cut it out slowly. The last thing you want to do is create too large of a hole. I stopped pretty often to check it for fit. Once I got the hole just right, I set the firewire port in it and hot glued it in there.
That's when I made my first mistake. I filled in one of the plastic slots with hot glue that another piece snaps into when you try to close the cartridge. I wound up having to scrape it out later, so be careful when you're doing this part. At this point, I basically followed the same directions that people have been using to make altoid battery packs. I soldered everything together and then used a little more hot glue to make sure that the wires on the firewire port won't come loose. It was pretty tough to get it all closed as things are pretty tight. I wound up having to rearrange the batteries several times before I could get it closed with minimal seperation on the sides. I think part of the problem had to do with the issues I had with the hot glue. I did wind up getting it closed well enough that it feels quite durable now. I put the screw back in and tried to arrange the sticker back just right. You could see the silver of the screw a little so I blacked it out with permanent marker. The final step is to grind down the top so that it's just a thin little flat piece. Once it's flat, you can snap it back into place. Once it's all done, it should look just like the original cartridge!
I have to admit, it isn't quite as easy to open and replace the batteries as the Altoids battery pack, but this definitely gets serious style points. The next time I create one, I'm going to try to figure out a way to get the screw out without damaging the sticker. It would also be helpful to be able to simply snap it open and closed without using a screwdriver at all.
The diagram below was created by Drew Perry who may have been the first to create a DIY battery pack. He used the box from a deck of cards to make his. Both Chris Diclerico and Unixmonkey both took the same design and stuck it into an altoid's tin. I've made a few of those and they work great! Unixmonkey also has a nice new diagram of how things should be wired together, just to clear up any confusion that could arise.
You can buy the firewire sockets from any major electronics site. For example, you can buy them here, here, or here.
The battery connections all came from Radio Shack. You'll need three 9 volt snap connectors and one battery holder for the two AA batteries. It looks just like this but I couldn't find the right part online (the one I have linked seems to be for "D" batteries).
As for the Atari 2600 cartridge, you can't go wrong with eBay!

Would you believe that this is all an Atari 2600 catridge actually is?
Wow…. coolio, can you fit an ipod in that case…. now that would be totally retro… oh and by the way you got engadgeted….
Very cool. I love it when guys do things like this!
Keep it up!
I love this idea. I'm going to do this for my iPod 🙂
The only thing I can add is that using a space heater or a blow dryer to get the label(s) off of the card is a bit cleaner and nicer looking than cutting the label to get the screw down.
Awesome! Best I've seen yet!
*goes ebaying for a Pac-man cartrige*
I've read about a couple of other people who have put together battery packs for their iPods. Apparently they like to use things like Altoids tins – and things like that.
My only question is – one of the sites I read said that you run the possibility of frying (or screwing up) your iPod because there isn't any sort of regulator to even out the power – and that it's not really smart to wire batteries of two different voltages (i.e. 9 volt and AA) in series (or something like that – I'm not an electrician).
Have you had any problems with yours?
I've read that as well, but I've been using the Altoids one for about a month now with no problems, and so has a friend of mine. The only time I noticed a problem was when the batteries were low, it show it as charging, then not charging, charging then not charging. It was pretty obvious when the juice had run dry. Other than that, I've had no problems whatsoever. I'm no electrician, so I can't and won't say it's 100% safe, but it seems to do the job!

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
DescriptionThis herbaceous perennial plant is about 1½–3' tall, branching occasionally. The stems are green, terete to angular, and either glabrous or sparsely hairy along two opposite lines. The opposite leaves are up to 5" long and 3" across; they are lanceolate to ovate in shape and smooth or slightly undulate along their margins. The upper leaf surface is yellowish green to dark green and glabrous (or nearly so), while the lower leaf surface is pale to medium green and glabrous to sparsely hairy along the undersides of the veins. The petioles are ¼–½" long. From the axils of the middle to upper leaves, there develops 1-3 flowers that are nearly sessile. Less often, such flowers will terminate a lateral stem that is up to 6" long, directly above a pair of leaves. Each flower is about 2" long and 1½" across, consisting of a funnelform corolla that is pinkish lavender to bluish violet (rarely white, except at its base), a green short-tubular calyx with long slender teeth, 4 inserted stamens, and a pistil with an inserted style. The corolla is narrowly tubular at the base, but it spreads outward to form 5 rounded lobes. The lobes of the corolla have undulate edges and a delicate appearance. At the throat of the corolla, there are several fine veins that are purple and somewhat reticulated; they function as nectar guides for visiting insects. The tubular portion of the calyx is about ¼" long or a little less, while its teeth are ½–1" long, linear-lanceolate in shape, strongly ciliate along their margins, and 2-3 mm. across. The blooming period occurs during the summer for 2-3 months. Each diurnal flower lasts only a single day; a single mature plant will have about 0-2 flowers in bloom during a typical summer day. The flowers are often partially hidden by the foliage. Afterwards, the flowers are replaced by glabrous seed capsules that are up to ¾" long. Each of these capsules contains several seeds that are released explosively. Individual seeds are about 3 mm. (1/8") across, flattened-globoid in shape, and brown to dark brown. There is a less common form of this plant that produces non-showy cleistogamous flowers (f. cleistantha); it usually has more narrow leaves than the typical form (f. strepens). Cultivation

The Galaxy Foamposite first made headlines back in October when catalog renderings of a Air Foamposite Pro first surfaced. During a Nike event out in Las Vegas not much later, Gentry Humphrey was spotted wearing the infamous Foamposites on his feet, but it was later confirmed that the version he was wearing was a sample and would not release. It clearly it has more of a rainbow effect that the darker ones that did in fact release, but according to Morgan Barnes, the colorist of the notorious Galaxy Foamposite, noted that the sample version wasn't as "dramatic" as he had intended, and arrived at the dark purple tone after infusing Blue and Red in the traditional East vs. West match-up of the NBA All-Star Game while adding the Glow-In-The-Dark outsole. Regardless of the results, we're certain the Sample version would have been as popular as the released version, but here's a detailed look at the Air Foamposite One 'Galaxy' Sample that never hit stores and let us know which of the versions you like better. via SoleCollector
Filed under: Nike Air Penny Nike Foamposite Sample
these pics do em justice but they still look like fruity pebble throw up, i'd rather the released version
coulda sworn alot of people was sayin these shoes looked like ass when the pics first came out of the galaxies now the post of them have majority of everyone liking them.....
I wonder how many of these rainbow kicks lil Wayne has. Skinny Jean assasin!
"these rainbow shoes will go perfectly with my nerd glasses and skinny jeans, thanks dad"
I wonder if any more foams are going to drop towards the end of the year? I mean besides the lime. I want A pair of foams ain't get one in the hottest minute
Lol stop guys y'all were dissing these 5 months ago
CHECK IT OUT FUCCCCCCC DEMMMMMM FOAMZZZZ CUZ NO ONE GOT EM fuc em em fuc em fuc em bruney (mac voice playaz club)r.i.p
hold on yall need to stop this fakin when they showed these a while back all yall called them rainbows, and gay pride foams if. now cause we had the worst sneaker release in history yall say these are better wow.
the sneaker community are fighting back if you are a reseller, and have it on a ebay as a auction and not buy it now we are going to rise up the price be part of the movement ebay are start to close the auctions don't let the bum reseller make a come up on us!!!!!
weird but so i like Both. lean little more on these. Favorite detail on both, is the chose of Grey on the half cent, tung linen pull tabs and swoosh.
I like them equally. I still don't think they got it right on either of them.
I like these, probably would have tried to cop if they released to be honest If the retail versions had the same upper and no GITD like these, they would have been tougher
I like these better...but I'm ready to move on from the Galaxy Foams.
I think these stand out more than the release version, they colorway is more impressive in my opinion. These would be a lot nicer with the glow in the dark soles.
da isn't a word. stop sounding stupid.
these are ight I'd copp
These look cleaner. Remixed pewters.
None of them are bad looking, its just that theyre wayy overhyped (no thanks to the Concords)...and that makes me hate them,
these harder
These are better
Definitely like these more than the retail version...
I'd take both if they weren't almost 2k(HYPE NEEDS TO DIE)
these must have been the ones gentry was wearing
both are dope in there own right
These ain't bad but I like the ones that released
kinda like these better then da release version
way better than the retail ones, imo
same here
These kinda embody the title "galaxy" a bit more than the released ones. I diggem both
if they had the gitd sole, then yes.
5 years from now the dudes who copped will look back and reflect on what they had to do and how much money they had to spend in order to get a pair of glow in the dark shoes smh.. and they'll all feel like idiots.

After a long work week, we twinships deserve a treat! One of our fav things to do is get a mani-pedi at Wynn Nail Spa. It's a great way to decompress, talk about what happened earlier in the week, goals that need to be achieved, and well let's face it…feel polished and pretty! So, naturally, when our friends at Wynn invited us to check out their new nail spa location we jumped at the chance!
The new Wynn Spa is located by Sunset & Vine –right in the heart of Hollywood, surrounded by the iconic 'Hollywood Stars' which is fitting since it's all about 'star treatment' at Wynn! And, recently, such celebs like Jessica Szor (Gossip Girl) DJ Pauly D (Jersey Shore) were spotted at Wynn just minutes before we arrived.
Here are a few reasons why we have a twinship with Wynn! 1) They have the most comfortable spa chairs– makes us feel like we're flying first class! 2) They have fabulous nail polish options! And, 3) We love their lavender lotions and hand massages.
So, for all our LA Twinship's out there–if you're looking for something relaxing to do this weekend and not spend a lot of money — visit the new WYNN NAIL SPA at 1509 Vine Street. Oh and as a promotional bonus they're offering you and your friend (or twinship) $20 off the Caribbean Seaspray and Pacific Raindance mani-pedi through Jan. 31st! You can't beat that!
Here are some pictures of our visit…maybe we'll see you this weekend!
The hardest part about a mani-pedi is picking out the right nail polish color. #firstworldprobelms! Wynn has a variety of OPI & Essie polishes. Feven (on the left is always 'painting the town red' and went with yet another red nail polish lacquer. Helena is looking for the right color. For tips on how to pick the right nail polish color click here.
We were in a Valentines Day mood — Feven decided to rock 'Big Apple Red' and Helena decided to try something new (she's definitely the more 'brave' twin when it comes to nail polish colors) and chose 'Modern Girl.'
Helena's nails look amazing and she's visibly pleased! (P.S. in case you're wondering…Helena is rocking our 'twinship' ring on her right hand. We each have one and occasionally the ring is mistaken as being a wedding band. Ha!)
Helena reminds us, "don't forget to tip, boo…"
We feel revived again and ready to hit the town! We can't even believe this is what we're wearing in January! Maxi dresses are apparently seasonal…
Peace out twinship bombshells!

Not for the bigger men

Not realising it only 5 inches insertable length, upon receiving this did I notice my 7-inch girthy self wouldn't fit, which was a shame, as I had very high hopes after reading through reviews on this product.
Read the requirements and be sure to measure yourself as some products don't have accurate sizing.

- Looks.
- Cons
- Didn't fit.
- Bottom line
- Not for bigger men.

Everlasting Blowjobs
Reviewed: 30 June 2016 by Joe&Ade2012, a Gay Going Steady Male
Product very easy to use and operate. Buttons easy to access whilst in use.
Sleeve is nice a soft and the beads really keep you on the edge as they roll up and down the penis.
It creates good suction when in use and personally it made me last a while until I came, and boy it felt amazing when I did.
Sizing is reasonable, fits like a glove, and once turned on you don't even have to hold it (depending on your position). The sleeve is easily removable for cleaning.
- Pros
- The gentle suction it creates when in use.
- Cons
- A little bit of a bulky item.
- Bottom line
- Overall it's a tick in my box. Great for playing alone or together.

When the OH's away...
Reviewed: 03 June 2016 by Why so serious, a Straight Married Male
...this bad boy comes out to play.
I've used sleeves in the past and I'm always looking for something different to play with in my alone time. When I saw this is just had to give it a try.
First thought when seeing the packaging was that this is going to be big, once out of the box it doesn't look too bad, actually.
My OH is away quite a bit so it didn't take long for me to get some alone time to try this out. 4 x AA batteries inserted and it was time to go. The mouth opening to the sleeve is a real nice touch and fairly easy to slip inside with a touch of lube. It has 3 buttons, 1 to switch on and the other 2 are for forward and reverse for the 6 different motions. Noise wise it really isn't that bad, I doubt anybody could hear it if they were in the next room.
Going through the different speeds at a simple press of the button is easy. I think it's 3 presses for the fastest speed then the next press gave me an exciting surprise. It was the same speed and I thought maybe I hadn't pressed the button until it stopped for a few seconds then started again, the stop-start setting is my favourite and gives me a powerful orgasm every time.
Clean up time is easy as the sleeve simply pulls out for you to wash and clean.
I normally miss my OH when she is away but this toy makes it a little bit easier.
- Pros
- Quiet yet powerful.
- Cons
- 4 AAs seems a bit much.
- Bottom line
- Best male toy I've had.

PREP Class Update
by gwilson on Nov.14, 2009, under A Day in the Life...
This semester McMurry has taken preparation for the health professions to a whole new level with a new Pre-Professions (PREP) seminar course. This elective course taught by Dr. Larry Sharp (see BIMS faculty or BIMS contact information for more on Dr. Sharp) is open to any student, and our hope is all those who plan on pursuing acceptance into a health professions program (medical, dental, physical therapy, pharmacy, etc.) will take the four semester sequence of seminars.
So, what's been going on in the FIRST semester? PREP students have been busy with group projects outlining the different disciplines of interest. Sixteen (16) groups presented PowerPoint lectures illustrating each discipline's answers to the following questions:
- What (Texas) schools offer your degree specialization?
- What prerequisites are required? (Common and school specific)
- What entrance exam is required? What are the minimums required for scores/GPA?
- What would be a typical "Day in the Life.." for a practitioner?
- What courses would be taken while in the professional school?
- Are internships required prior to application?
- Are there additional courses/fellowships required?
- What is the ratio of applicants versus offered seats?
Students in the PREP seminar class have also started working on their individual personal statements (not an easy task!). Our experience shows statements that express well one's motivation and convey the strengths and personalities of the applicant often take months and months of drafts and re-writes. A separate blog on the way that has been approached is available at the SNCS website (http://blogs.mcm.edu/sncs/, "PREP Class Working on Personal Statements").
The PREP seminar also features a full slate of guest speakers during its hour-long weekly meetings. So far this semester, students have heard from the following people:
- McMurry Faculty, Dr Joel Brant – Graduate School opportunities
- McMurry Faculty, Dr. Timothy Renfro – Medical Physics
- US Army Staff Sergeant, Sean Sullivan – Health Professional opportunities/scholarships
- Ross University, Associate Director of Admissions, Tiffany Ciolek
The slate of speakers will continue throughout the spring, as admissions advisors from Texas medical and dental and pharmacy schools come to Abilene to share their processes and expectations with future applicants.
In all these ways, McMurry is pro-actively preparing its students for that moment of truth when all their college experiences are distilled down into readiness for professional school application and matriculation. Preparing the next generation of health professionals is a meticulous and deliberate process improved by the attention of knowledgeable and caring faculty.

Posted on 05/06/2012 7:15:09 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson officially became the Libertarian Party's nominee for President on Saturday with 70 percent of the vote, and one of his first acts as an official candidate was to issue a strong indictment of the Republicans for the situation surrounding Mitt Romney's gay former foreign policy spokesman.
"I believe the majority of americans are fiscally responsible and socially tolerant," Johnson told BuzzFeed in a phone interview. "I believe the majority of Americans could care less about whether or not there is a gay individual working in the Romney campaign." Romney's newly hired foreign policy spokesman Richard Grenell was openly gay, a fact that raised the ire of social conservatives, whose reaction resulted in Grenell's leaving the campaign.
"It speaks volumes to the intolerance that continues to be present in the Republican Party," Johnson said. He said he doesn't attach that intolerance to the majority of Republicans but to "the activists driving that agenda."
"That intolerance is why the world vilifies Republicans," Johnson continued. "Its why I have never worn a Republican t-shirt in my life. There is a certain Republican dogma I just cannot defend. Homophobia is one of those issues."
The Romney campaign tried to persuade Grenell to stay after criticism both of his intemperate tweets and his sexuality, and Romney's aides -- who knew Grenell was gay when they hired him -- heatedly deny conservative attacks marginalized him internally.
Johnson said the only reason he's never been a registered Libertarian is because "I have a notion of governing and winning," and "I have a lot of Republican friends who have just had it with the Republican Party."
Johnson described his plans for the kickoff of his general election campaign, saying he's planning a New York trip to "take advantage of the fact that there's a lot of media there."
He also said he thinks that Ron Paul's staying in the Republican race will benefit him, saying "I think a buzz within the Ron Paul support movement is theres an alternative." Johnson assessed his chances at getting on the debate stage as "not an expectation that you can say categorically is not going to happen."
<img src="http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/web03/2012/5/5/16/enhanced-buzz-21235-1336250369-15.jpg" /.
LOL, pretty sure the pro-choice, pro-gay Libertarian party will be racking up its usual .4% of the vote again.
So, this lib in libertarian clothing doesn't think it has any real significance, yet he uses it as a bludgeon. None of the parties' names have any grounding in their original meanings.
You know what, Gary, I'm not afraid of gays, I just don't support them, their lifestyle choice, their political agenda, I don't want them around kids at all, I don't want them in positions of power over me, I don't support marriage of them, and I don't feel particularly sorry for them, and that is NEVER GOING TO CHANGE, so stuff it.
Well, I truly hope Gary Johnson keeps this up and makes it the cornerstone of his campaign. I would like nothing better than for the Libertarian party to be the quasi-official Gay Party. If all the homosexuals vote Libertarian, it will be a lot less votes for the Democrats. It would also dramatically reduce gay political power since they'd be of no use to the Democrat Party anymore. Heck, if gays would all vote Libertarian they'd be marginalized to such a degree that we could probably roll back much of their agenda. The more the public thinks of the Libertarian Party as the Gay Party, the better!
Buzzfeed is run by gay leftist Benny Smith former from Politico aka Leftici .
Ben is a documented JournOlist Obama cheerleader
Frankly, Mitt Romney agrees with him. He called moral conservatives "forces of intolerance" this past week, and used the opportunity to equate "sexual orientation" with race or ethnicity.
Were Republicans not being socially tolerant? Did I miss the lynch party, or name calling? It was the media who made an issue out of Grenell's gayness, to point out Romney's weakness for the gay agenda. Now Gary has to play the game to get the get the Log Cabin vote. What a putz.
"I believe the majority of americans are fiscally responsible and socially tolerant," Johnson told BuzzFeed in a phone interview. "I believe the majority of Americans could care less about whether or not there is a gay individual working in the Romney campaign." Romney's newly hired foreign policy spokesman Richard Grenell was openly gay, a fact that raised the ire of social conservatives, whose reaction resulted in Grenell's leaving the campaign. "It speaks volumes to the intolerance that continues to be present in the Republican Party," Johnson said.
One couldn't tell this by their use of language.
Gary Johnson can gay pander all he wants, but they won't vote for him...they want to use the power of the government to crush "intolerance".
"Frankly, Mitt Romney agrees with him. He called moral conservatives forces of intolerance this past week, and used the opportunity to equate sexual orientation with race or ethnicity."
I guess when bishop Romney becomes a god, and creates his own planet and human beings to inhabit it, it will be full of bath houses and steam rooms and little boys will only be allowed to wear chaps until the age of 13.
I never knew magic underwear came in code pink.
I don't understand the point of a Libertarian using the homophobia name calling nonsense.
I'm not afraid of homosexuals either but I do believe the Bible when it talks about Sodom and Gomorrah.
--Thomas Jefferson
How dare you have an opinion!
Libertarians don't want you to have an opinion contrary to theirs.
If you are not for sex and drugs for all without limit, then you are all kinds of bad things.
These are the only things libertarians are interested in.
To paraphrase: The onerous Romney has 99 problems, but having a homosexual staffer isn't one of them.
Paying attention to something so petty is just a waste of time.
The Liberterians were not always associated with fringe causes. I'm not sure how/why they evolved that way. But Americans have ignored 3rd parties for so long that they get dominated by fringe causes when the more normal supporters give up and revert to the "2 parties" that are promoted by the MSM. Where's the Reform Party today as an example? They gave up. Perot even tried to use the TV to reach people, with his own money, but he tried to talk sensibly to them instead of entertaining.
The consequences of which all result in calls for more statism and socialism, thus defeating the whole libertarian "I'm a social liberal but a fiscal conservative" type of argument.
As far as 3rd parties, I'm far closer to the Constitution Party than to the Libertarian partiers(oops!) party.
So how about a policy of "the government shall have nothing to do with gays, pro or con?" Government is not the HOA of our souls.
They'll never go along with that. They've already been seduced by the power of using an enlarged government to punish anyone who disagrees with them. It'll be very interesting if and when the Islamists take over and they turn around and use big government's power against them.
Gary, if you're trying to out-gay Willy Mitt, you've got a tough task ahead of you.
Excelent analysis. I actually voted for Ed Clark in 1980 when it looked like the LP might have a future as a mainstream party - at least to me.
The problem with 3rd parties is that they tend to be dominated by the most doctrinaire, with purity tests becoming more and more rigid with each election cycle since, with no real prospect for electoral success, ideological purity is really all they have to argue about. The left has experienced this forever - look at how many Socialist parties there are, each of whom passionately despise each other over issues of doctrine so obscure you need an electron microscope to find them.
The LP has gone from being mostly a bunch of devotees of Milton Friedman to mostly a gaggle of eccentrics who think you're a hopeless statist if you don't believe the military can and should be privatized.
Sad, really. I find most libertarians I encounter to be intelligent and interesting - and on most matters I generally agree with them. The LIbertarian Party, though, has pretty much achieved its apparent goal of total irrelevance.
Thanks, we seem to have a similar view of it. I believe I voted with you then, since I used to support the LP too. I voted for Perot also. So some will blame me for Clinton I suppose.
I'm not satisfied with either party and haven't been for a long time. The US has not evolved to the current welfare state overnight, it's been going on a long time and both parties are culpable. Ultimately it is a distracted, disinterested citizenry's fault also.
Maybe the TEA party approach to convert the Republicans back rightward will work, as it is now there is not much opposition from them at the top level. That would only be the same process you described, that has turned the Dems into raving Communists. Issa's attempt to make Holder accountable is an oppostition action I like.
Obama himself is the culmination of Affirmative Action, which is why his records are missing and it appears he went through the witness protection program.
IOW he is a washington dc style politician who does not see conservative as conservative but rather as various social balkans to manipulate.
Now the Romney RINO cheerleaders & the left are making this up. I haven't seen a single conservative complain about the fact that the guy was gay - it was that National Review reported that he had an "unhinged devotion" to the left-wing gay social agenda AND sent rude tweets attacking social conservatives. Nothing more, nothing less.

x= -1 (+/-) 5 all divided by 2
x=-3 and x= 2
then you do the rest.

I have what seems to be a basic question in front of me but even when using the quadratic equation I get some rather impossible numbers.

Can anyone show me how to solve this?

Bridging the generation gap in Lake Tahoe
June 13, 2014
As Lake Tahoe's Baby Boomer generation prepares to retire, it's time for all of us to start thinking about passing the proverbial torch to the next generation in the business community. And just in time, a generation of bright, talented young people are standing up to breathe new life into South Lake Tahoe.
Meet the Millennial generation: Young adults born between 1980 through the early 2000s, called "Generation Y." They're our area's highest educated, technologically savvy demographic, according to a study released last month by Pew Research. The good news is that there's a network of young professionals here in town ready to step into leadership positions (some already have) but there's limited opportunity for them in the Lake Tahoe Basin.
Low pay, low employment rates and a low level of understanding of how this generation can make a difference in the destination are some of the many factors that lead to this group taking their talents elsewhere. But these factors also lead to remarkable things. As a Millennial myself, I see my peers starting new businesses here in town — creating their own dream jobs and starting new businesses and nonprofit organizations. These new businesses contribute not only to South Lake Tahoe's tax base, they make the destination better as a whole by offering products and services that didn't exist before.
Lake Tahoe's future depends on the cooperation of Baby Boomers and Millennials to carry the momentum of our community's redevelopment and environmental improvement initiatives that are currently being put in place. We urgently need to bridge the generation gap to ensure a collaborative, stronger tomorrow. Not sure how? Here are a few ways get started:
Become a mentor: Open a line of communication with promising staff members and share your personal and professional experiences with them. Hear their stories, too.
Recognize talent in the workplace: Don't just praise them, raise them. Invest in training and pay Millennials what they're worth based on education, passion and professionalism.
Encourage young professionals to get involved: If you conduct a high level of business in town, bring a promising team member to observe an important meeting or include them in the decision making process.
Collaborate: Consider a business membership to the Tahoe Regional Young Professionals, which provides two interchangeable passes to monthly professional development workshops and networking events — anyone can get involved with TRYP.
Let's shed the stereotypes and look at the facts. Millennials here in Tahoe want to get involved and are more likely to volunteer on matters that are important to them. They're coming into affluence and are the next generations of homeowners, while also being more likely to invest their discretionary income in the local economy. Think about how a 5-percent raise would affect the local spending of a young professional. Or better yet, think of how doing business with young professionals would boost your company's revenue. There's much to gain from one another if we work together.
Jenna Palacio is an active member of the Tahoe Regional Young Professionals.

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has revealed that he may not step down from his role after the 2014 World Cup.
The former Real Madrid boss, who has overseen victory at the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012 since taking charge in 2008, claimed in April that he planned to move on following the conclusion of the tournament in Brazil.
But Del Bosque has now performed an about turn, claiming that talks over a new contract are not out of the question.
"It is not certain that I will leave after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil," he said.
"If we get to 2014, to the World Cup, we intend to defend the title we won in South Africa and from there, in June or July 2014, we will talk."
The 62-year-old went on to share his thoughts on the fortunes of several Spanish clubs over the course of the season.
"Despite Barca and Madrid dominating, there has been another team that has had a great season, Atletico Madrid," he added.
"There were also other clubs in Europe who have represented us very well, as in the case of Malaga and the work of Real Sociedad. They have had a great season.
"But, the big economic difference that there is with Madrid and Barcelona and the rest has been reflected on the pitch, inevitably."

Bored Florida State Senator caught viewing porn on Senate floor
Update 2: Porn-viewing senator gets 'paneled' by Sean Hannity on Fox News
Update: Senator threatens reporter who caught him in the act
Oh this is just too much. Adam C. Smith at the St. Petersburg Times picks up a news report from a local Florida online news outlet that a State Senator, Mike Bennett, got caught viewing some porn that was reportedly e-mailed to him by a woman he knows during a Florida state Senate debate:
Sunshine State News reports that it captured video of Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton, "looking at pornographic material on his state-issued computer on the Senate floor."…
via What was Sen. Mike Bennett looking at during Senate session?.
I'm not headlining this with the fact that Bennett is a Republican because he claimed that he "was just sitting there, bored as they were debating the abortion bill."
I'm bored debating about abortion, too! Florida is in a middle of a massive economic crisis, and they're finding new ways to restrict abortion? Like that's going to fix anything.
Let's give three cheers to Mike Bennett, hero Republican Senator of Florida, for offering us all a way to get through the mindless kulturkampf that our country can't just grow up and get over.

Teton County considers budget cuts
Jackson, WY – Teton County officials have been holding a series of budget meetings this month. They have been discussing cuts of 10 to 30 percent for county agencies. County Treasurer Donna Baur says the cuts are needed because sales tax revenue is down 16 percent from its peak two years ago. She says part of that is due to a slowdown in construction.
"We were experiencing a building boom much like the national economy, and we are currently trending like the national economy, our construction industry has fallen off dramatically."
Real estate prices have also fallen -- with some property values declining by 30 percent. And that has county officials also bracing for a dip in revenue from property taxes.

More on Unreal Engine Lawsuit
Submitted by: Colosus @ 10:06 PM | Monday, July 23, 2007 | (url: http://shacknews....)
"UE3 isn't perfect by any means, but I don't feel Epic misrepresented it in any way when we licensed it," said Jeffcoat. "It's not that UE3 is the best at any one thing it does, because it's not. It's just better at more of them than anything else, and the ten-plus years of maturity it's been through has yielded a better-than-average art and design pipeline. I've heard plenty of tirades and I've given a few of them myself, but at the end of the day, UE3 helped me get my shit done. And it did a better job than any tool set I'd used before."

While unions across the U.S. are suffering membership declines, a study has found that unionization in New York is on the rise.
The share of New York City's workforce that belongs to a union has risen to almost a quarter—24 percent—according to an analysis of 18 months of federal Current Population Survey data on public and private sector workers by Ruth Milkman and Stephanie Luce of the City University of New York Graduate Center. That's higher than the 2012 rate of 21.5 percent, and it's higher than in any other major U.S. city. New York State also experienced an increase in union density, to 24.6 percent, the highest rate of any U.S. state and more than double the national rate.
The increase can't be credited to high-profile union efforts to organize in non-union industries such as fast food. Instead, the study's authors say, it seems to be driven by growth in historically unionized sectors like construction and the hotel and building services industries. "Bastions of unionism" that suffered heavy job losses in 2008 and 2009 are now increasing their workforces as they recover business. "In other parts of the country," says Milkman, "those bastions don't exist to the same extent."
This means that the union membership increases probably won't be replicated outside places like New York. Many of the fastest-growing sectors of the national economy are overwhelmingly non-union, including the fast-food and retail sectors in which companies have recently faced high-profile protests and strikes. The more those industries grow, the lower overall unionization rates will sink, unless workers in those industries turn those positions into union jobs, as hotel and construction workers did decades ago. Even in New York, says Milkman, trends don't point to big increases in unionization across the board. "There are people attempting to do it, but they haven't got big numbers to show for it," she says. "At least not yet."

Roosevelt County Cooperative Extension Service will once again will be offering a Breast Cancer Screening Clinic. Don and Sybil Harrington Cancer Center will do the screenings.
The screening will be held in Portales, at the Roosevelt County Extension Office, 705 E. Lime from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on March 8.
You should call 1-800-377-4673, as soon as possible to ensure an appointment. At the time you make your appointment you will give them your insurance information. You will be expected to pay your co-pay at the time of the mammogram. Financial aid is also available.
The goal of screening exams is to find cancers before they start to cause symptoms. Breast cancers found when they are causing symptoms tend to be larger and are more likely to have already spread. In contrast, breast cancers found during screening exams are more likely to be smaller and still confined to the breast.
The size of a breast cancer and how far it has spread are some of the most important factors in predicting the prognosis of a woman with this disease.
Most doctors feel early detection tests for breast cancer save many thousands of lives each year, and many more lives could be saved if even more women and their health care providers took advantage of these tests. Following the American Cancer Society's guidelines for the early detection of breast cancer improves the chances breast cancer can be diagnosed at an early stage and treated.

"When a gay man has WAY too much fashion sense for one gender, he is a drag queen." -Noxeema Jackson, To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar
Drag isn't a disguise for me, or an escape, or even an expression of my "true self." I simply have too many genders within me to pick only one. Sometimes I'm a dandy, sometimes a scruffy kid, a diva, a pinup, or just a boy in a dress.
Edrie is the accordionist for the SteamCrunk band Walter Sickert & the ARmy of BRoken TOys. She is a published writer and a farmer at heart.
My band formed from the turmoil and loss that came after Walter's and my spouses took a road trip together and never returned.

We continue to gather other Broken Toys around us for healing through beautiful music.

It took a lot for me to accept the fact that what I do as a belly dancer isn't the norm. I am very non-traditional when it comes to the art of belly dance. After a few years, I realized its okay to walk off the beaten path and realize when it comes to dance-there is no box. Besides being a snake charming-fire eating belly dancer has incredibly ups and very little lows!

Season 2 of Downton Abbey hits DVD and Blu-ray tomorrow (Feb. 7), which means American fans will have to decide whether to buy it now to see the final episodes early or wait until the season 2 finale airs on PBS Feb. 19. But on the release, you'll find more than 32 minutes of bonus features focusing on Downton's evolution from private castle to convalescent home, why romance blossoms in a time of war, and the fashion and uniforms of World War I. In our exclusive clip below, actress Laura Carmichael explains why the wardrobe for Lady Edith's brief foray into tractor driving excited her. It wasn't just because she got to wear trousers (with a day corset), it was because she got to try on the pants Meryl Streep wore in Out of Africa. Carmichael was "gutted" when she learned the costumers were making her new pants in her second fitting. But there is a happy ending: Carmichael believes she did wear one of Streep's blouses from the 1985 film.

By Naomi Goldstein, Director, Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation
Yesterday, the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) released a new brief, titled "Number and Characteristics of Early Care and Education (ECE) Teachers and Caregivers: Initial Findings from the National Survey of Early Care and Education (NSECE)." The first of a series, the brief presents data from the first nationally representative survey of the early care and education workforce in both center- and home-based settings. Produced by NORC at the University of Chicago, the brief is a part of the National Survey of Early Care and Education project.
The brief reports that the early care and education workforce directly responsible for children age birth through five years (not yet in kindergarten) in 2012 was large, comprised of about one million teachers and caregivers in center-based programs, 830,000 paid home-based teachers and caregivers and about 2,300,000 unpaid home-based teachers and caregivers. The educational attainment, experience, and wages of center-based teachers and caregivers varied considerably by the sponsorship and funding of center-based programs and by the ages of children served. A majority (53%) of center-based teachers and caregivers reported having college degrees – an AA or BA – and almost a third reported BA or graduate/professional degrees, higher than found in prior studies. A greater share of home-based teachers and caregivers – about 30 percent – reported college degrees than estimated in prior studies.
The brief includes estimated counts of teachers and caregivers in all types of settings and their education, experience, wages, health insurance and other characteristics. Future briefs will use the NSECE to present data on predictors of ECE quality, to describe children's time in nonparental care and parental employment schedules, and to provide a profile of center-based early care and education.
Naomi Goldstein is Director of the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the Department of Health and Human Services. She is responsible for advising the Assistant Secretary for Children and Families on increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of ACF programs.

A: Given two random points x and y on the interval 0..1, what is the average size of the smallest of the three resulting intervals?
Q: You could make a graph of the size of the smallest interval versus x and y. We know that the height of the graph is 0 along all the edges of the unit square where it is defined and on the line x=y. It achieves its maximum of 1/3 at (1/3,2/3) and (2/3,1/3). In between these positions the surface forms a series of planes. Thus the volume under it consists of 2 pyramids each with an altitude of 1/3 and an (isosceles triangular) base of area 1/2, yielding a total volume of 1/9.
