*Condoleezza Rice may be earning good reviews for her speech at the 2012 Republican National Convention Wednesday night, but some folks on Twitter instead chose to focus on her unfortunate makeup malfunction.
[SUBSCRIBE TO EURWEB's RSS FEED]
Some viewers couldn't help but notice that the former secretary of state had lipstick on her two front teeth while delivering her speech. Several even tweeted about it, with many expressing sympathy with Rice.
"I don't care what their beliefs are I will always feel completely awful for any woman who has lipstick on their teeth in public. #Condi #RNC," wrote one viewer.
Added another: "Poor Condoleezza Rice…. No one told her she has lipstick on her teeth #makeupfail #RNC"
More tweets below:
"Yo Condi. CONDI. What in THEE HAIL are you talkin bout, girl? You know you got lipstick on yo teeth, right? Aight. Cool. #RNC2012 [email protected]
"Seriously though, I heard nothing Condi said because I was so damn distracted from her lipstick stained teeth! @[email protected]
"Condoleeza Rice is speaking passionately & eloquently but I am completely distracted by the lipstick on her [email protected]
"Dear Republicans, when you piss the gays off, things like Condoleeza Rice's lipstick-covered teeth [email protected]
As previously reported, Rice has earned praise for her speech, despite the lipstick gaffe. The Washington Post's E.J. Dionne Jr. wrote that she "outshined" vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan by giving a speech that was "more serious and, yes, more presidential than any other speech on Wednesday night." Even MSNBC's Chris Matthews praised Rice, calling her speech "spectacular" and "thrilling" and describing Rice herself as "presidential," as quoted by Politico.
As for the lipstick situation, Vogue fashionista Andre Leon Talley came to Condi's defense today: "If Professor, former Sec. of State, Condoleeza [sic] Rice had lipstick on her teeth, so what. She spoke with true eloquence and raised the bar!"

I was Inspired by this tablecloth. I "inherited" it from my Auntie Ted. Isn't it great! A simple cloth with Ric Rac trim and signatures from her closest family and friends, which she later embroidered. See my signature? I'm guessing early 70's on my signature. My aunt was only 4 when she signed her name. Can you guess which one it is? So here's a little peak at what I decided to make! You must go take a better look at the Moda Bake Shop to see my Camping Quilt or Quilted Tablecloth. {I haven't decided how I'll use it.} I really like the weight and feel of it and thinking it would be a great camping quilt. I totally love how it turned out.
Remember the backing? It's the fabric that Randi over at Fresh Squeezed Fabrics just happened to have in her Etsy shop. (because I totally goofed and needed some backing badly). Phew.
So go take a peak and let me know what you think.
Happy Sewing!

About the Author: Ivo Daalder serves as U.S. Ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
It was an extraordinary scene, today, in the NATO Council chambers. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, newly confirmed by a unanimous vote in the U.S. Senate just 36 hours earlier, was introduced by Secretary of Defense Gates to his 41 NATO and non-NATO colleagues who provide forces and military capabilities to the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan. Gen. McChrystal thanked the nations for the honor of leading their young men and women in bringing security and stability to Afghanistan. He will travel to Afghanistan on Saturday and immediately take up command of ISAF operations.
Afghanistan dominated the proceedings of the Defense Ministerial. The NATO Ministers agree to stand up a robust training mission for Afghan Army and Police forces. They also agreed in principle to restructure the command of ISAF to better address the implementation of President Obama's new strategy, which NATO endorsed at the 60th Anniversary Summit.
The challenges in Afghanistan remain great – ensuring successful elections, enhancing Afghanistan's governing and security capacity, defeating the insurgency. But NATO remains united in trying meet these challenges in the months and years ahead.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
"Iran is playing a bit of double game in Afghanistan," he told reporters at NATO headquarters in Brussels at the end of two days of talks with his allied counterparts.
"They are an important trading partner for Afghanistan, they profess to have warm relations with the Afghan government," he noted.
"At the same time, they're sending in a relatively modest level of weapons and capabilities to attack ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) and coalition forces.
"They're trying to do what they can to hurt us and hurt our allies and partners in Afghanistan, which also ends up hurting the Afghan people,"
- Sec. Def. Robert Gates, June 12th
Source: - AFP
@ Ambassador Daalder,
First off, I'd like to wish Gen. McCrystal much success and "good hunting".
Secondly, we just don't make accusations like this without hard evidence to back it up with, and this has been an ongoing problem since Mr. Rumsfeld's time in office.
I wish I could have been a fly on the wall in this ministerial to hear what others had to say about this, and the silence from our European partners has been publicly deafening on this issue to date in my observation of press reporting.
So what does NATO/ISAF intend to do about this?
And as a follow-up, what will Pakistan ultimately do about it?
Thanks, and if there's a link to Sec. Gates full remarks, perhaps you could post that as well.
Best Regards,
Patrick in Maryland writes:
Hi, States people of the Web.&:)
It's good to hear thing's are going so well in Afghanistan.
I hope General McChrystal has a successful Mission there.
I know Afghanistan's people will feel better with a well trained security force working for them.
Have A Good Week Cya :)

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Providing secure, mobile access to sensitive data sets is a critical element in realizing the full potential of cloud computing. However, large data caches remain inaccessible to edge devices for reasons of security, size, format or limited viewing capabilities. Medical imaging, computer aided design and seismic interpretation are just a few examples of industries facing this challenge. Rather than fighting for incremental gains by pulling these datasets to edge devices, we need to embrace the i...

Web Real-Time Communication APIs have quickly revolutionized what browsers are capable of. In addition to video and audio streams, we can now bi-directionally send arbitrary data over WebRTC's PeerConnection Data Channels. With the advent of Progressive Web Apps and new hardware APIs such as WebBluetooh and WebUSB, we can finally enable users to stitch together the Internet of Things directly from their browsers while communicating privately and securely in a decentralized way.

IoT is at the core or many Digital Transformation initiatives with the goal of re-inventing a company's business model. We all agree that collecting relevant IoT data will result in massive amounts of data needing to be stored.

From i3Detroit
Hi, I'm Brad Tarratt. On Freenode irc, I go by n8vi, which is my amateur radio callsign (and a nod to Bill Joy's classic text editor).
I drop by the shop completely at random, often when noone's around. If I intend to stick around for any reasonable period of time, I'll flick the twitterbot on.
Hobby background
- I think I've got digital electronics down; I'm now making my first foray into analog and RF.
- I like AVRs and am a fan of the arduino bootloader. I am not, however, a fan of the arduino board itself, I like to make projects on my own boards.
- I can write code in C, perl and php amoung others. I wrote the repeater recorder for the useca amateur radio club (which I need to get back running again).
- I'm a ham, as I mentioned, call sign N8VI.
- I've been interested in astronomy since I was 12, and have had a couple of small telescopes. I am in the process of building a large one.
- ptimmins and I have a fully-redundant home network architecture (we live 1200 feet apart, have highly sensitive 802.11 radios, and work for the same ISP).
- I've been using NetBSD for years, but am coming to be quite a fan of debian and ubuntu Linux.
- I seem to have inherited the [Toughbook Wiki].
- The 12.5-inch Dobsonian telescope
- The 2-meter window antenna in the e-room DONE
- A 2-meter AVR-controlled double-conversion superhet receiver ON HOLD while I build a telescope
I've put a few bits of equipment in the e-room that I encourage you to use!
- MFJ 269B Antenna Analyzer
- Elenco SG-9200 audio signal generator http://www.elenco.com/admin_data/pdffiles/SG9200.pdf
- Elenco SG-9000 RF signal generator http://www.elenco.com/admin_data/pdffiles/SG9000.pdf
- GW GFC-8055G 500MHz Frequency counter
Things I'd like to learn
- analog and RF electronics design (we'll see how this superhet project goes)
Things I'd not mind teaching
- I love teaching. So long as you're not looking for something boring like help fixing a PC, just ask!

Online purchasing of digital media content has always had many advantages over buying via traditional brick-and-mortar stores. However, one of the drawbacks was that new titles emerged online later than on a physical media. But Apple and nine Hollywood film studios changed that and on Thursday the owner of iTunes announced availability of movies on iTunes the same day as on DVD.
"We're thrilled to bring iTunes Store customers new films for purchase day-and-date with the DVD release. We think movie fans will love being able to buy their favorites from major and independent studios," said Eddy Cue, Apple's vice president of iTunes.
New releases and catalog titles will be available in DVD-like resolution from 20th Century Fox, The Walt Disney Studios, Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios Home Entertainment, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Lionsgate, Image Entertainment and First Look Studios. Unfortunately, it is impossible to purchase high-definition (1280x720, progressive scan) version of a movie via Apple iTunes at this point.
iTunes Movies are available in the U.S. only and are $9.99 for library title purchases and $14.99 for new release purchases; $2.99 for library title rentals and $3.99 for new release rentals. High-definition rental versions are priced $1 more with library title rentals at $3.99 and new release rentals at $4.99. Short films are available to rent for $0.99.
New releases available for purchase on the iTunes Store this week, concurrent with their DVD release, include "American Gangster" and "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly." Other popular titles now available for purchase include "Juno," "Cloverfield," "I Am Legend," "There Will Be Blood," "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story."
Movies can be previewed, purchased and watched on iPod classic, iPod nano with video, iPod touch, iPhone and on a widescreen TV with Apple TV.

Respectfully giving reasons to keep rails
To the editor:
I'm not going to write at length again about the reasons I believe the railroad tracks through the Adirondacks should not be torn up, but I would like to address several issues raised by those who advocate their removal.
First of all, not all of us who have expressed the opinion that it will prove to be a great error to tear up the tracks are train buffs; I couldn't tell you one kind of locomotive from another. Nor are we all ignorant sentimentalists who simply want a piece of living history to remain intact, or better, to be restored to be fully functional.
There may be a few people who are anti-snowmobile or hate bikes, but I haven't met any so far. Most people I've heard from wish to see a dual use, side by side, rail and trail.
Secondly, the removal of the tracks, and with it their long-term potential for many uses, would only add a week or two on either end of the season for the snowmobile riders. They already have the full use of the right of way for most of the winter. It takes some snowpack to make any trail usable, and not much more than that to cover the tracks. If the trail will draw so many people, why aren't we already seeing this huge revenue from them?
Lastly, my biking days are over, but back in the 1970s I several times pedaled from Indian Lake to Saranac Lake, via the roads, and enjoyed every second of it. Anyone who is fit enough to bike 90 miles doesn't need a totally flat grade to make the trip. Part of the joys of long bike rides are the ups and downs. There already is a bike lane for the whole route, and a good number of riders use it each summer. Some people, for sure, would take the trip over the trail, but I believe the projected numbers given are greatly inflated.
If we must disagree and cannot work together to find a common solution that will benefit various concerns, let's at least try to be civil and courteous in our comments about those we disagree with.

Topic: Setting up Rails on blueHost
Anybody use blueHost? I don't know how similar it is to other hosts since this is the first one I've used with Rails. Maybe somebody can help me. I've created a folder and uploaded all the rails files to the server. I've also created a database, username, and changed the database.yml file to match. I also changed the environment .rb file because I was getting an error in the SSH window saying I didn't have the right gem. So I commented out this part,
# Specifies gem version of Rails to use when vendor/rails is not present
I think for some reason it was looking for 1.1.2 which wasn't there and it wouldn't let me do any sort of migration.
So I'm up to the point where I have done all the migrations to the databse and set up the tables, I even checked in phpmyadmin to make sure that they were all there.
Problem is when I go to any page in the app I just get code. The only page that works right is the index page in the public folder.
Anybody have any suggestions?

Another outstanding 70's band. Perfectionists to a fault. Master craftsman. Intelligent and ironic lyrics - these guys were like the greatest at utilizing different session man to give their songs greatness, texture, and most importantly complexity.
Aja, Royal Scam, Pretzel Logic, Katy Lied all back to back album and all brilliant in their own way. I wasn't completely sold on them with their latest stuff but the genius and the craft was still there.
They lose points for not touring extensively - but in the 70's - they were very few artist who could dominate or bring home the hooks as good as Steely Dan.
I'd put them right up there with Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles for greatness and pop brilliance.

The bottom of her hair has been curled inwards slightly with a curling iron. Her hair looks so slick and straight as she has very thin hair.The bangs are cut well above her eyes. Her straight hair comes down to her shoulders and looks very nice. The sides and the back have been cut all one length.

Earlier this week, a Christian told me he wasn't having any consistent time with the Lord. He was feeling the spiritual effects of it, too. Discouraged with life problems. Anxious. Guilty.
I took a few minutes and put together a 9-week Bible reading plan for him to follow. It was no big deal—just a way to read through some Psalms, three gospels, and other brief portions of Scripture on a weekly basis at an average rate of two chapters per day. He received it eagerly.
The plan is simple but comprehensive—it alternates between the Old and New Testaments to keep the person of Jesus Christ prominent in your reading. The weekly rather than daily schedule eliminates the sense of pressure that comes if you miss an occasional day; you have room to flex with the natural ebb and flow of life. You don't feel like you're behind schedule, because you're not. You can start whenever you want and then use the blanks to record your completion date and track your progress. I find a visual record of progress motivates me to keep going.
Just for fun, I posted about it on my personal Facebook account: "Just prepared a 9-week Bible reading plan for someone who wants to get back into the Word. Simple structure and very attainable to put the rest of summer to spiritual use. Would it help you? If you want something to jump-start some time with the Lord, email me."
I was surprised when the requests started pouring in. It seems to have struck a nerve with people who want to walk with the Lord but need some basic structure to follow.
So now, with as little forethought as possible, here it is on gty.org. God's Word is always fruitful in the lives of those who devote themselves to it (Isaiah 55:8-11). So seek His blessing as you pursue this plan. If the idea strikes a chord with you, print it out and get started—then let us know at the end of the summer how it went for you!

Tour A Home The Size Of A Walk-In Closet
"She reminds me of a René Gruau illustration," says decorator Miles Redd of his client Erika Bearman, also known on social media platforms like Twitter and Tumblr as OscarPRGirl. With her lithe frame, wide, dark eyes, and arched brows, the stylish senior vice president of communications for Oscar de la Renta has the look of a fashion sketch by the renowned Italian-born illustrator who made his name in the 1950s drawing advertising images for couture houses such as Christian Dior and magazines like Vogue and Marie Claire.
Erika Bearman in the living room of her home in Southampton, New York; her skirt is by Oscar de la Renta, and her shirt is by J. Crew. The demilune tables are made of reclaimed wood, the dining table is by Crate & Barrel, the chairs are by Oscar de la Renta for Century Furniture, and the floral watercolor was purchased at Christie's.
In the "selfies" Bearman posts on all her social-media platforms, she often strikes the pose of a seasoned fashion model, wearing the latest de la Renta ball gown or a midriff-bearing mermaid-style skirt with a halter top—her style signature. So it's no surprise that a giant 1960s Gruau poster featuring a glamorous couple in an Italian ad hangs in the living room. You would swear it was Bearman and her husband, Jonathan, an investment banker.
The living room sofa is by Dune, and the Louis XV–style armchair was found at Christie's; the sconces are from Visual Comfort, the stool is from Treillage, and the walls are painted in Benjamin Moore Impervo in Very Green.

Parker receives up to 20 years
ROGERS CITY – A Millersburg man will spend at least seven years and 11 months in prison for taking naked pictures of three children and molesting one of the three.
David Wayne Parker, 46, was sentenced in Presque Isle County Circuit Court Monday after pleading guilty to three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct and seven counts of child sexually abusive material. In January, he told the court he had taken pictures of two childrens' genitals and the exposed backside of a third. On three occasions he took pictures of himself touching one of the children.
Judge Scott Pavlich sentenced Parker to a minimum of seven years and eleven months and a maximum of 20 years in prison, with 84 days credited for time served for the seven counts of child sexually abusive material. He also was sentenced to seven years and 11 months minimum to 15 years maximum for the three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, to be served consecutively. He must pay a total of $810 in fines and costs, and will be monitored as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
In exchange for Parker's guilty plea, the court dismissed four additional counts of child sexual abusive activity and one count of using a computer to commit a crime, Pavlich said in January.
Mike Vogler, Parker's attorney, took issue with two of the items on Parker's presentencing report, arguing that Parker had received higher scores than he deserved. In one case, he said an item taking into account the psychological damage to Parker's victims had an improperly high score because there was no evidence of damage. In the second, which took Parker's cooperation with police into account, Vogler said that while Parker had denied committing the acts to detectives at first, he eventually confessed.
Pavlich disagreed with Vogler's first objection, saying the scoring item can take into account the possibility of psychological damage and needs no evidence.
Steiger countered Vogler's second objection, pointing out that not only did Parker lie to detectives about what he did, but threw away his computer after detectives spoke to him and refused to tell them where it was when they returned with a search warrant.
Pavlich did not change either items on the report.
Prior to his sentencing, Parker apologized for his acts.
"I do apologize for what I did, and I'd like to apologize to the families as well," he said.
Pavlich told him that all adults have a responsibility to protect children. Parker had a close relationship with the childrens' families, and he had taken advantage of them.
"They should get to be children, they should get to do things kids do and not even have to be aware of any of this," he said. "And yet you put them through it and the damage that can result is hard to calculate. I mean, it really is oftentimes damaging for the rest of these kids' lives. And it's a shame."

Huntington's disease (HD) is a slowly progressive disorder that devastates the lives of those affected and their families. There are no treatments that slow the progression of HD, only mildly effective symptomatic therapies are available.Creatine monohydrate is considered a nutritional supplement. The purpose of CREST-E is to test whether high-dose creatine can slow the progressive functional decline that occurs in persons 18 years or older with early clinical features of HD. The long-term safety, tolerability and effectiveness of up to 40 grams daily creatine compared to placebo is studied. A variety of biological processes are assessed for markers of disease activity or progression and creatine effects. Up to 50 active research centers globally will enroll 650 subjects.

One popular robust technique is the so-called M-estimators. Let be the residual of the datum, the difference between the observation and its fitted value. The standard least-squares method tries to minimize , which is unstable if there are outliers present in the data. Outlying data give an effect so strong in the minimization that the parameters thus estimated are distorted. The M-estimators try to reduce the effect of outliers by replacing the squared residuals by another function of the residuals, yielding
where is a symmetric, positive-definite function with a unique minimum at zero, and is chosen to be less increasing than square. Instead of solving directly this problem, we can implement it as an iterated reweighted least-squares one. Now let us see how.
Let be the parameter vector to be estimated. The M-estimator of based on the function is the vector which is the solution of the following m equations:
where the derivative is called the influence function. If now we define a weight function
then Equation (29) becomes
This is exactly the system of equations that we obtain if we solve the following iterated reweighted least-squares problem
where the superscript indicates the iteration number. The weight should be recomputed after each iteration in order to be used in the next iteration.
The influence function measures the influence of a datum on the value of the parameter estimate. For example, for the least-squares with , the influence function is , that is, the influence of a datum on the estimate increases linearly with the size of its error, which confirms the non-robusteness of the least-squares estimate. When an estimator is robust, it may be inferred that the influence of any single observation (datum) is insufficient to yield any significant offset [18]. There are several constraints that a robust M-estimator should meet:
Table 1: A few commonly used M-estimators
Figure 4: Graphic representations of a few common M-estimators
Briefly we give a few indications of these functions:
The modification proposed in [18] is the following
The 95% asymptotic efficiency on the standard normal distribution is obtained with the tuning constant c=1.2107.
There still exist many other -functions, such as Andrew's cosine wave function. Another commonly used function is the following tri-weight one:
where is some estimated standard deviation of errors.
It seems difficult to select a -function for general use without being rather arbitrary. Following Rey [18], for the location (or regression) problems, the best choice is the in spite of its theoretical non-robustness: they are quasi-robust. However, it suffers from its computational difficulties. The second best function is ``Fair'', which can yield nicely converging computational procedures. Eventually comes the Huber's function (either original or modified form). All these functions do not eliminate completely the influence of large gross errors.
The four last functions do not guarantee unicity, but reduce considerably, or even eliminate completely, the influence of large gross errors. As proposed by Huber [7], one can start the iteration process with a convex -function, iterate until convergence, and then apply a few iterations with one of those non-convex functions to eliminate the effect of large errors.

PA County officials: Be wary of scams
EMMETSBURG – The Palo Alto County sheriff's office is alerting residents of a phone scam after being contacted by a potential victim.
On March 28, a woman near Graettinger contacted deputies after receiving a call from someone who lived in a "high crime area and therefore qualified for a free alarm system," according to a press release from the Palo Alto County sheriff's office.
The woman was then told to press 1 if she wanted a free alarm system or 2 to have her name removed from the list.
The press release said any one who receives one of these calls shouldn't press any of the buttons, since nobody knows what may actually happen. They advised those who receive a suspicous call should hang up and call their local law enforcement agency.

I feel like we've been a bit beaten down lately in society. It's a tough economy. Deadlines are looming. There's a hurricane coming. And it seems we need a healthy dose of hope and courage. That's why I'm turning my blog over to Robin Taney today so she can share about a great sermon series at a church near Rochester, NY. Our plan is to have her report back on what is shared at these services and maybe even include videos so we can listen for ourselves and be inspired. Enjoy…
How many times have you faced a challenge in your life that you thought was so insurmountable you figured �why bother�?
I�ve been there more times than I care to count. I tell myself that God never gives me more than I can handle, but even then, I don�t always believe it.� Because the burden just. seems. so. heavy. Or big. Or such a lost cause.
That might be how Donald Jones was feeling. In 2010, the graduate of Youngstown State was expected to be a mid to late round draft pick in the NFL.
That February, he attended the NFL Combine, a week-long event where college players try and impress the NFL coaches and the scouts evaluate the players as possible draft picks. During the Combine, it was discovered that Jones had a minor kidney ailment.
It didn�t affect his ability to play and could be managed with medication, but the news was enough to send anyone who was interested in him scurrying in the other direction.
Jones dropped to the bottom of the draft board and was eliminated by some teams altogether. When he signed with the Buffalo Bills in September, 2010, he was an undrafted free agent.
Now, he�s the team�s #2 wide receiver.
Jones will be sharing more of his comeback story Sunday October 28 at Lakeshore Community Church when it kicks off its �Making a Comeback� series.
For the next four weeks, Lakeshore will do live and in person interviews with notable figures in the NFL.
October 28: Donald Jones, Making a Comeback from Limitations
November 4: David Tyree, Making a Comeback from Larger than Life Challenges
November 11: Jill Kelly, Making a Comeback from Loss

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: fantastic event, my favourite marathon by far, this is what running is all aboutDate of review: October 29, 2015
In short: Lived up to expectationsIn full: First heard about this at the VLM Expo and the fact it had been voted No 1 marathon - a long way to travel for me but well worth it - Chester really is a lovely place to visit and run from and the organisation excellent. Marshalls brilliant - and knew how to hold water bottles ready for grasping - small but important point - loved it. Hilly than expected but nothing too evil and beautiful course. Date of review: October 19, 2013
In short: lovely evening race In full: Reslly great race - lovely scenery on a warm sunny evening and the hill isn't so bad really.Organisation fantastic as were the marshalls and supporting crowds along the wall and great atmosphere at start and finish. Great tshirt too and appreciated the bottle of water at half way and end (as opposed to half filled cups).Great race. Arrive early if you want to park in Station car park.Date of review: May 13, 2012
In short: fantastic race in gorgeous location In full: first time I've run it and fantastic event, the scenery is stunning and the marshalling and organisation excellent.the 'tough' part is a steep climb up into the woods - which is repeated - and then two descents on muddy uneven stony paths - my first taste of a cross country type terrain race and only comment I'd like to make to improve the race info is that it says most runners do it in normal road shoes but I would have worn my off roaders to help with that muddly descent and the mile on the beach!Date of review: February 20, 2012
In short: brillant race supremely well organised In full: What a great event - great course, great support and supremely well organised, couldn't fault it - at some events parking etc can be a nightmare but this was so smooth and easy - see you next year Stoke St Gregory!Date of review: December 26, 2011
In short: enjoyable evening runIn full: as a newcomer to runs ound the lack of a chip mat at the beginning confusing - we were at back at start and didnt rush to get going as waiting for the chip mat only to realise eventually there was none. A note on the pre-race info to stay the start was a klaxon or gun - didnt hear either! would be usefulDate of review: August 22, 2011
In short: Review for 2011 runIn full: My first 10K and a few killer hills in the heat did prove challenging! There was no 5 mile marker so spent a while thinking I hadnt got that far which was quite demoralising. Otherwise a nice friendly atmoshphere and I shall return next year after more hill work!Date of review: August 11, 2011

Here's how RW members rated this race (249 votes).
In short: A tough start and finish, but lovely in betweenIn full: The organisation and atmosphere at the start were lovely, very encouraging. The big hill was harder than I expected, and went on for longer, but coming back down to the seashore with the waves crashing in and beautiful sunshine made it worthwhile. The section around Sovereign Harbour is a bit tedious but easy enough on the legs. The finish is positively evil: you go past the entrance to the race HQ TWICE before they finally let you in! Very tough mentally at that stage of the race, especially as that meant we were running into the evil headwind in the final stages.Date of review: March 22, 2014
In short: lovely seaside raceIn full: Although I found this race quite challenging, I did enjoy most of it. The hill at mile 2 was quite tough for me, but I was literally over the moon when I got to the top of it, with the help of another kind runner. As soon as that was tackled I was ok until about the 8-9th mile. I found running round the harbor a little tough. It was lovely to run by the sea though! Well marshaled and organised. Date of review: March 17, 2014
In full: Overall a good event but why just a single vet category for for male and female? Date of review: March 15, 2014
In short: Nice raceIn full: An attractive route (even the later miles weren't ugly, especially around the harbour) and not impossible for some PBs as the only hill come early and wasn't as bad as I was expected. Clearer signs when approaching drinks stations would have been good and some bits are a bit tight and twisty, but overall a very pleasant race.Date of review: March 15, 2014
In short: Like to support my local half; beautiful scenery, not the best for valueIn full: Being Eastbourne born & bred I like to run this coastal race. You can't beat the seafront running in my opinion. I would like to alternative to running around the twists and turns of the harbour though. I also have a thing about the rubbish off the shelf medal. When will we get a nice bespoke medal please?Date of review: March 13, 2014
In short: Wonderful!In full: I found the run after we turned around mile 4 was delightfully exhilarating! It was also great to be able to run along the sea front road completely unimpeded by traffic. The whole exercise was very special...thankyou so muchDate of review: March 13, 2014
In short: Friendly, well supported seaside runIn full: my first half marathon and was well organised and marshalled, a challenging hill 2 miles in but the rest is flat along the sea front and gives opportunity to post a good time. Crowd was great, especially through the marina with people cheering out their windows and outside the restaurants.Date of review: March 13, 2014
In short: Very enjoyable run with great views. Very friendly atmosphere. With the last part of the run going threw eastbourne marina and past houses the local house owners were cheering you on offering sweets to help you on your way. Many thanks will b back:-)Date of review: March 13, 2014
In short: Very good bands good support along the seafrontIn full: Plenty of water stations, the hill is great why moan about it, you know it's there don't enter if you don't like hills, Marshall's excellent, I would rather the harbour bit be changed as running round the houses are a little boring, the 10th medal was also disappointing for a anniversary more effort should of gone into it other than that see you next yearDate of review: March 13, 2014
In short: My first half-marathon and I loved it. Beautiful scenery and great support from locals.Date of review: March 12, 2014

New standards should stay
It seems like everywhere you look, the Common Core education reform is coming under attack.
Last week state Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Democrat, and Dean Skelos, leader of the Senate's Republican majority, with the backing of the powerful New York United Teachers union, called for a moratorium of at least two years on student testing based on the federal Common Core education standards.
On Monday, a six-member New York State Board of Regents-appointed panel of education policy makers concluded that, at least for now, teachers should be able to argue against being fired on the basis of their students' poor performance on state tests using the new standards. The panel also recommended the high school class of 2022 be the first class required to pass Regents exams based on the more difficult standards in order to graduate, instead of the class of 2017.
Common Core has become a catch-all phrase for all of the gripes parents and students have with their school districts and the public education system. Lost in all of the rancor of changing standards has been the original purpose of Common Core: to establish a higher national standard for educating children in the United States.
We agree with the critics of Common Core who say the reform was poorly implemented. By rolling out the new math and science standards all at once, across different grade levels, the state was ensuring many students would do poorly on the first exams based on these standards. It's hardly fair or reasonable to expect students who weren't held to these higher standards when they were in lower grades to have all the knowledge they need to progress forward through the difficult curriculum of whatever grade they are in now, particularly high school students. This put many teachers in the unenviable position of trying to fill in gaps in their students' past education, even as they try to raise the bar on their learning in the current school year. It would have been wiser to start the reform at kindergarten and phase it in year by year.
But in our view, that is all water under the bridge now. To halt or slow the implementation of this reform would be illogical at this juncture.
We suspect state officials will tweak the Common Core to address concerns, as they should. Some of the Regents panel's recommendations may make sense, but we would oppose a suspension of higher standards now that they've been put into place.

Re: Building a Glossary from a Legacy DB
It. WORKS!
I had to hack up my routes.rb in ways that you probably wouldnt approve of, but this looks like the perfect opportunity for me to start writing some tests for refactoring.
Sidenote: In order to solve the issue of clean URLs which match my existing links, I have utilized permalinks. In order to generate these I needed to make a column called "permalink" and then I redid my import migration with the following code added to my Terms Model (i thought terms was better read than glossaries)
def before_create
@attributes['permalink'] = title.downcase.gsub(/\s+/, '-').gsub(/[^a-zA-Z0-9_]+/, '')
def to_param
instant permalinks for all 4,000+ entries in my table. Of course I had more tweaking to do in my controller: Basically replacing find for find_by_permalink and :id for :permalink
@term = Term.find_by_permalink(params[:permalink])
My views also needed some tweakage
<%= link_to 'Show', :controller => 'terms', :action => 'show', :permalink => term.permalink %>
And there you have it!
Man it is so gratifying to know that I wont have to change any of the links in my existing articles. It's also a huge bonus being able to make my entries now without specifying the damn letter each time. Thanks for your coding and patience Ryan.

One in custody after early morning standoff
SPOKANE, Wash. - A standoff that started as a domestic dispute in northeast Spokane ended Monday morning with police taking one man into custody.
Just after midnight, a woman on the 4300 block of East Fairview called 9-1-1 for a domestic dispute. She said her husband was angry, possibly intoxicated, and had fired a rifle in the direction of people inside the house.
When police arrived on scene, they secured the release of the woman and her 19-year-old son. They were both uninjured. The man still refused to come out.
Police tried several negotiation tactics. They tried talking him out, smoking him out, and eventually sent in a robot with a cell-phone in an attempt to communicate.
At around 6 a.m., SWAT officers fired pepper-smoke grenades into the house to try and force the man out. They fired a second round of pepper-smoke grenades into the house a half-hour later.
At just after 7:30 a.m. the standoff ended with officers taking the man into custody.

At some point in 68' the Fab 4 gathered at George's Esher estate, and layed down accoustic demos of songs that would later be recorded for the White Album.
A tape of this session leaked out into the bootleg scene years ago, and these accoustic demos of the white album songs are hugely popular..
A few songs from this jam pooped up on Anthology 3- "Piggies", "Honey Pie" and "Glass Onion".
I was stunned the accousitc "Revolution" and "Child Of Nature" were not included on Anthology.
I have 3 questions-
*Do we know the exact date as to when the demos were recorded?
*Does Paul or Ringo plan to release the complete 'Esher semos' session?
*And why the heck wasnt 'Child Of Nature' used on Anthology or the Lennon box set? This early incarnation of 'Jealous Guy' certainly warrents an offical release.
Any other fans of the 'Esher demos'?

The longtime animal rights activist burst into a University of Wisconsin Board of Regents meeting.
American Horror Story star James Cromwell, 73, has been arrested in Madison, Wisc.
The incident happened Thursday at a University of Wisconsin Board of Regents meeting where the actor was protesting animal testing.
He and PETA spokesman Jeremy Beckham held two large signs showing a cat with metal implanted in its head at the university's lab. According to TMZ, they burst into the meeting, with Cromwell yelling, "This is not science. This is cruel!"
PETA has claimed 30 cats a year at the university are starved, deafened and decapitated for brain research. The director of the school's Research Animal Resources Center says federal agriculture officials have found their claims to be false.
University police Sgt. Brent Gruber tells AP that Cromwell was arrested and ticketed on a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. He was out of jail by Thursday afternoon.
Cromwell was nominated for an Academy Award for the 1995 pig film Babe.

ResearchFunctional genomics and human cell transformation, Precision cancer medicine
My work as a physician-scientist involves both the care of cancer patients and biomedical research directed toward a greater understanding of the mechanisms involved in malignant transformation. My laboratory focuses on understanding the cooperative interactions that conspire to transform human cells. To address this question, we have developed new experimental models of human cancer of defined genetic composition, created methods to perform systematic interrogation of gene function in mammalian cells and tissues and help optimize new approaches to integrate genome scale data. Using these approaches, we have identified and credential new oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and have performed preclinical studies that will form the foundation necessary for translational studies in patients.
Specifically, we have developed genetic methods that permit the construction of genetically defined, experimental models of the major human epithelial cancers from primary human cells through the manipulation of oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes and telomerase. These model systems have permitted us to study the molecular interactions that lead to cancer. In addition, we have performed proof-of-principle experiments that such experimental models will prove useful in the discovery and validation of molecularly targeted therapies. Indeed, these experimental models have allowed us to investigate the mechanisms by which EGFR and other oncogenes and tumor suppressors contribute to cancer initiation. In particular, we have elucidated the role of the PP2A family of serine-threonine phosphatases as tumor suppressor genes.
As a Senior Associate Member of the Broad Institute, I lead efforts to apply functional genomic approaches to cancer. Specifically, I serve as one of the co-principal investigators for the RNAi Consortium (TRC), which has created a genome scale RNA interference library, and have established RNAi screening facilities at both the Broad Institute and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI). In my own laboratory, we are engaged in using these RNAi libraries to apply a comprehensive program to identify cancer vulnerabilities. Using these approaches, we have already discovered several new oncogenes including IKBKE, CDK8, CRKL, CDK6, and PAK1. I also co-direct the Center for Cancer Genome Discovery, which is committed to the development and implementation of technologies that permit the interrogation of cancer-associated mutations at genome scale and to implement these technologies prospectively in newly diagnosed patients.

Family loses Lake Street home to fire
Garden planting in August?
Anyone who plants a vegetable garden wants to benefit by yielding as much from his or her garden as possible. Those who plant large vegetable gardens often find themselves covered with dirt and sweat, questioning whether or not it's really worth the effort. Persons with smaller gardens can feel the same way when they only get a small taste of something mouth-wateringly delicious. But with a little careful planning, succession planting can really boost home garden production.
Sometimes called multiple cropping, succession planting refers to several methods used to increase and/or extend crop harvest during the growing season. These methods, which are often used by small-scale commercial growers, maximize the efficient use of both garden space and effective planting and harvest timing.
There are several approaches to succession gardening. The method you can best use right now is also the one that I see most widely used in the North Country. It involves planting two or more crops in sequence. In other words, as soon as one crop is harvested, that otherwise unused garden space is immediately replanted with a different crop.
For example, in many area gardens, vegetables with intermediate maturing times that were planted early (beets, carrots, turnips, peas, cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi) are now being or have already been harvested. Once those harvests are completed, standard gardeners will leave that garden space unplanted. Succession gardeners, on the other hand, will immediately plant a fast growing crop, such as head or leaf lettuce, spinach, carrots, kale, or radishes in that space. Or they may transplant vegetable plants that have been growing in containers up to now, into the garden. The crops most widely chosen for transplanting are cole crops such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and cabbage, all crops that will not be damaged and whose quality may actually be improved by exposure to frost toward the end of the growing season.
Knowledgeable gardeners choose early maturing varieties, which helps assure a bountiful late-season harvest. Catalog descriptions and seed packet instructions should provide information such as days to harvest, spacing requirements, and whether or not the variety is frost tolerant.
Cool season crops are often pre-sprouted for late-season planting. To pre-sprout seeds, moisten a white paper towel so it's wet but not dripping. Without crowding the seeds, sprinkle them over half of the towel and cover them with the other half. Be sure the seeds make good contact with the towel. Fold again as needed until the towel fits into a Ziplock sandwich baggie. Keep the seeds cool. Inspect daily to make sure the towel stays moist and to see if the seeds have sprouted. So they won't be damaged, transplant the seeds into the garden bed as soon as they've sprouted, before roots have a chance to get tangled together or grow into the towel. Be sure mold doesn't form inside the baggie. (Note that this method also works well when used to germinate heat-loving plants in the cool of early spring. Optimal germination temperatures should also be on seed packets and in catalogs.)
Another approach commonly used for lettuce and other salad greens is planting at timed intervals (as opposed to planting an entire crop in one day). The result is a continuous harvest extended over a period of weeks or months, rather than the entire crop becoming ready at once.
Companion planting or intercropping is a third approach. This farming practice entails growing two or more crops that will not compete with each other for space, nutrients, water or sunlight in the same space at the same time. Often, a deep-rooted crop is planted with a shallow rooted one or a crop that will grow tall is planted with a shorter, shade tolerant one. By intercropping, you can achieve a much higher yield than if you were to plant just one crop. When properly done, the results will be plants that are thriving in a garden that is very aesthetically pleasing.
A perfect and perhaps prehistoric example of intercropping at its best is the Native American three sisters; corn, pole beans and squash. These three plants, when grown together, form a healthy ecosystem of insects and soil organisms. And they exist in symbiosis. As the plants mature, the beans put nitrogen into the soil, which greatly benefits the corn. The corn, in return, provides a support upon which the beans can grow. The squash provides ground cover, shading the soil and retaining moisture. Together they promote soil conservation, deter predators and help prevent erosion. From a dietary standpoint, the gardener harvests corn, which is a grain abundant in carbohydrates; beans, which provide protein; and squash, which is rich in vitamin A.
Being observant and taking notes will help with making adjustments in the future. Keep in mind, though, that the varieties you choose, your soil quality, and the weather, among other things, will all affect plant growth and maturation.
