Unfortunately for those who want a pure Sim the casual market is far bigger and thus thats where the money is.

He was faster on the straight but i had him in turns 11 and 12. In the end I finally beat him to 10th. Never before have I got such an adrenaline rush from scoring 1 point in a race.... Think I'll pass and keep playing F1!

Use of stimulant medications to treat Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents has increased significantly over the past several years. This trend toward increased use of prescription stimulants extends beyond ADHD to other types of neuropsychiatric disorders in children and teens as well, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), according to a study published in Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology.
Søren Dalsgaard, MD, PhD, Helena Skyt Nielsen, PhD, and Marianne Simonsen, PhD, Aarhus University (Denmark), Lundbeck Foundation Initiative for Integrative Psychiatric Research (Denmark), and Hospital of Telemark (Norway), conducted a study of more than 850,000 children born in Denmark between 1990 and 2001. They found that 61% of children with ADHD, 16% of children with ASD, and 3% of those with other psychiatric disorders were treated with one or more medications typically prescribed for ADHD—methylphenidate, dexamphetamine, and atomoxetine. The data indicated significant increases in the prescription rates of these medications during the years 2003 to 2010.
"This study utilizes a population-based national cohort of children and adolescents, and assesses stimulant treatment in children and adolescents with ASD," says Harold S. Koplewicz, MD, Editor-in-Chief of JCAP, and President, Child Mind Institute, New York, NY. "This is the largest and first prospective study to quantify the change in the use of treatment with ADHD medications over time."

Stock exchange operator NZX reported a 56 per cent gain in its net profit for 2011 today, despite a difficult year for the financial markets, and said it will return up to $35 million to shareholders.
Shares in NZX rallied sharply on the news of the profit and return of capital, gaining 21c (8.1 per cent), to $2.80 in the first few hours of trading.
The company, which operates trading platforms for a range of financial instruments and which is also involved in providing market information, said its net profit for the year was $14.5m, up from $9.3m in the previous year.
NZX said the key to its result was broad based revenue growth and better margins.
Operating revenue grew 11 per cent to $55.6 million, compared with $50.2 million in the previous year.
NZX's total dividend for 2011 came to 11c, up from 10c in 2010.
The company said it intended to return about $32.5m to $35m to shareholders, representing 10 per cent of the company's market capitalisation, through a 10 per cent pro rata compulsory share cancellation. The return is expected to take place before the end of May.
A stock split of seven for three will be effected with the capital return, the company said.
Operating revenue grew 11 per cent to $55.6m, compared with $50.2m in the previous year, while operating expenditure grew by just under 4 per cent to $30.4m.
NZX said its operating profit margins rose from 41.6 per cent in 2010 to 45.3 per cent in 2011.
NZX Markets saw a number of significant initial public offers and a marked increase in trading activity while its dairy futures operation experienced significant growth.
Commodities trading platform NZX Clear met its second half forecast for tonnes traded on the grain exchange platform.
Looking ahead, NZX said the second half of 2011 in particular saw strong momentum across the business, which is flowing through into the first quarter of 2012.
NZX said it expected this year's margin growth rate to continue at a similar rate to 2011.
On the revenue side, liquidity in the cash equities, derivatives and commodities markets is expected to continue to grow.
Market data revenues are expected to improve.
In addition there is further scope for revenue growth through the Fonterra shareholders' market and listed fund, NZX said.

Jul 24, 2013 - StaffThe Bridger-Teton National Forest in Fremont County and northwest Wyoming has a new supervisor.
Clinton Khyl has been serving as deputy forest supervisor for the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in Washington. He will start at the Bridger-Teton on July 28.
The forest stretches from Yellowstone National Park to the southern end of the Wind River Range, and west to the Idaho border in some places. It's the second-largest national forest int he continental United States.
Acting supervisor Cheryl Probert had been a candidate for the job since being named to the interim post in March.
From 2007 to 2009, Kyle was the incident commander for the Bark Beetle Incident Management Team in southeastern Wyoming and northern Colorado. He and his team developed management strategies to deal with a large bark beetle infestation across 2.5 million acres of national forest.
He also was the district ranger for the Laramie Ranger District on the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests, located in Laramie.
Kyhl replaces Jacque Buchanan who transferred to the Rocky Mountain Regional Office this past March.
Oil and gas development, fuels reduction projects and a suggested reorganization of the forest's administrative offices are being debated.
One idea would divide Bridger-Teton functions between Jackson and Alpine. Jacque Buchanan had touted that idea.

Pacific Maltese Rescue
Our Pet List
We Need Foster Parents!
Pacific Maltese Rescue is in need of Foster Parents in all 3 states that we cover, Washington, Oregon, and California. If you would be interested in being a foster parent for us, please go to our website and fill out a
Foster Application
Pet of the Month
Who We Are
Pacific Maltese Rescue is based on the west coast and serves the states of Washington, California and Oregon. We are dedicated to taking in Maltese dogs and caring for them, getting them back to their ultimate health, and placing them in approved adoptive homes.
Adopting a friend
If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, please make sure that you have an
Adoption Application
on file with us.
How You Can Help
Pacific Maltese Rescue consists of four or five individuals who do rescue work on a volunteer basis.
No one at PMR receives a salary. We all do this for the love of the Maltese.
We charge approximately $150.00 per pup sometimes more, $200.00 for puppies or very young dogs. This money is used to offset adoption fees from "kill shelters", medical expenses, and sometimes grooming of unwanted, unloved pups. The volunteers pay, out of our pockets, for the care of our rescued dogs when there is no money in the PMR fund. Example: We rescued Lucy from a breeder. Lucy was used to produce puppies for about 8 years, over and over again. Non-stop puppy making. Lucy had uterine tumors that caused her pain, rotten teeth that caused her pain, and filthy diseased ears that caused her pain. The poor little thing was a mess and Pacific Maltese Rescue saved her, made her whole again. We took her to the vet, had her spayed, tumors removed, teeth cleaned and rotten teeth pulled and finally her ears were deep cleaned. She was asleep for the whole process. For this one pup, PMR spent close to $280.00 to get her healthy and out of pain, and asked a $150.00 adoption fee. As you can see, we did not make a profit on this dog. Some dogs do come to us healthy, and we don't have to put out more than what it takes to get them up to date on their shots and an initial vet check, but what me make on their adoption fee nowhere covers the medical costs of the sick dogs. We, the volunteers do this for the love of the Maltese, but need your help. We do not have our 501c3 yet, but we have applied for it. If you would be willing to make a donation to the dogs, please contact any of our volunteers for information on where to mail it. You will find them listed here,

The one crucial element in BJP's historic 7-0 win in Delhi was the support it received from the minority community.
The party put in a lot of effort, right from organising conferences, holding public meetings, conducting door-to-door programmes to ensure the anti-Modi image created by the Congress and AAP was dismantled. The efforts seem to have yielded results.
Across all assembly segments, which are dominated by Muslims, BJP gained 5,000-25,000 votes in the recently held Lok Sabha elections.
Senior BJP leaders further said the results will boost the party's prospects if re-elections are held in Delhi assembly and they should continue to undertake such programmes.
The minority cell of the BJP played a crucial role in getting the support of Muslims.
For instance, in the Matia Mahal assembly segment, which is part of Chandni Chowk parliamentary constituency and is dominated by Muslims, Harsh Vardhan managed to get 15,453 votes against 6,061 votes the party had won in the 2013 assembly elections.
"We had worked hard in areas dominated by Muslims and constituencies such as Seemapuri, Seelampur, Ghonda, Babarpur, Mustafabad, Okhla and Ballimaran. We have gained in Okhla too where the party candidate got 39,445 votes against 23,358 votes in the assembly election. It shows that the party is getting the support of the Muslim population and they believe in our agenda of positive governance," said a senior BJP leader.
The minority cell of the Delhi BJP had also prepared a video of Narendra Modi, the party's face this election, highlighting the fact that he and the party is not anti-Muslim.
"Traditionally, Muslims are believed to be the vote bank of Congress but that notion has undergone a sea change. A number of Muslims, especially the youth, came out in huge number and supported us as we gave them the development model. Our minority cell held interactions and public meets to ensure more people came out and voted for our candidates," said Atif Rashid, president of minority cell of Delhi BJP.

A Scottish surgeon named James Braid came up with the word "hypnotism" as short for what other term?
sympathetic system release
brain massage
The term neuro-hypnotism had already been in use by the middle of the 19th century. Braid helped shorten it to simply hypnotism.
Question 9 of 30
James Braid said that there were how many stages of hypnosis?
He named the three stages "sub-hypnotic," "full hypnotic" and "hypnotic coma."
Question 10 of 30
True or False: Stage hypnotism is ultimately the same thing as clinical hypnotism.

Question 11 of 30

a sleeping pill
a special type of metronome
a process used to create the state of hypnosis
Hypnotic induction is any process that the practitioner uses to create a sense of hypnosis in the subject. Often, visual aids are used for induction.

It was role playing.
These particular psychologists viewed hypnosis through the lens of role theory, and they saw hypnosis as a type of role playing.
It was mental fraud.
Question 13 of 30

using physical restraints on hypnotized subjects
Question 18 of 30
When did our modern notion of hypnotism first take hold?
An Austrian doctor named Franz Mesmer conceived many of our ideas of hypnosis. He was mocked, however, for saying that hypnosis involved a flow of magical energy transferred from the hypnotist to the subject.
Question 19 of 30
True or False: Some people can cure bad behaviors with one season of hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy isn't magic -- the process uses mental conditioning to help patients improve their behaviors for the betterment of their lives.
Question 20 of 30
In Hypnotic Induction Profile, what's one sign that a person is fully hypnotized?
Their limbs flop.

In this particular profile, if a person's eyes roll back into his or her head, hypnosis is successful. The more the whites of the eyes are showing, the better.
They are naked.
Question 21 of 30
What is the placebo effect?
snake oil
a simulated medical treatment
The so-called placebo effect relies on simulated medical treatments. In many cases, patients who merely believe that a medication is working will show positive results. Hypnosis relies heavily on the placebo effect to generate its results.
Question 22 of 30
Which trait shows that you might be more susceptible to hypnosis than most people?
You rarely daydream.
You speak to dead people.
You had imaginary friends as a child.
People with active imaginations -- like those who have vivid recollections of imaginary playmates -- tend to be more susceptible to hypnosis than people who swerve more towards realism.

Braid noticed that there were many similarities between hypnosis and Eastern meditation practices, and he noted that they shared many of the same benefits, too.
rigorous exercise
Question 27 of 30
True or False: No one has ever been hypnotized and then permanently remained in a hypnotic state.
One myth of hypnosis is that a subject might fall into a state of hypnosis and then never return to reality. Hypnosis might offer a temporary relief from reality, but it's not a permanent state.
Question 28 of 30
How did Sigmund Freud first react to the idea of hypnotherapy?
He loved it.
At first, Freud was, shall we say, entranced by the idea of hypnosis. Eventually, though, he decided that psychoanalysis was a better way to address the human mind.
He was wary of the idea.
He thought it was ridiculous.
Question 29 of 30

text: GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A book that hit the shelves more than a year ago has reappeared in recent weeks as a top choice for American readers. This week, America the Beautiful: Rediscovering What Made This Nation Great (Zondervan, 2012) is the bestselling nonfiction book in three different categories (Paperback Nonfiction; Nonfiction Hardcover and Paperback Combined; Nonfiction Print and E-book Combined), according to the New York Times . (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130318/CL79201 ) After speaking at the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast, bestselling author and renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson received rapid media attention for his keynote address. Carson candidly commented on the nation's taxation, health care, education, debt, the unnecessary role political correctness plays in American society. "What an honor it is to know that America the Beautiful resonates with so many readers today," stated Dr. Carson. "This says to me that the state of our nation is not going unnoticed and citizens want our political leaders to lean on God's Word for answers, not their own. I truly believe that America's best days are still ahead and we must use our God-given talents to improve our lives, communities and our world." In America the Beautiful Carson explains that the U.S., as the pinnacle nation in the world today, has many peculiar similarities with historical empires that were in decline, namely an inordinate emphasis on sports and entertainment, a fixation with the lifestyles of the rich and famous, political corruption, and a waning moral compass. He examines what it was about the United States---the child of every other nation---that so dramatically changed the world, and urges that we reclaim those tenets in order to perpetuate this free and prosperous nation. Tracy Danz, Vice President and Publisher of Zondervan Trade commented, "We are blessed to have Ben as part of the Zondervan family. We are thrilled with the success of this title and the continued support Ben is receiving across this nation. His desire to live a life that God calls him to lead is inspirational to me and I truly believe that this book can help change lives." America the Beautiful calls on all American citizens to use their "God-given talents to improve our lives, our communities, our nation and our world," said Carson. Since its release in February 2012, "America the Beautiful" has appeared on 23 times on the New York Times Bestsellers list. This is Carson's first title to reach the number one spot. Dr. Carson was also the featured speaker at the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) which commenced Thursday March 14-Saturday March 16. This is said to be America's largest gathering of conservative leaders and activists.

Cancer #1 Killing Disease For Hispanics, But Gainesville Continues To Fight Back
GAINESVILLE - Lily Rosales is a breast cancer survivor.
In her native language, Spanish she tells me, "Nos dejamos a nosotras por ultima y caundo llegamos al medico ya el cancer esta spread y es muy tarde." Which means, We always put our families first and leave ourselves for last, so when we visit the doctor it's often too late; by then the cancer has spread.
The American Cancer Society has just released new research showing cancer is the number one killer of Hispanics. Dr. Alba Amaya-Burns is part of the Cancer Health Disparities Center at Shands. She says Hispanics don't have a greater chance of getting breast cancer than African American or non-Hispanic Whites but they have a higher chance of getting infectious diseases related cancer such us stomach, cervix, liver and gallbladder cancer. Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among Hispanic women; this is because of late detection and late entrance into treatment. Dr. Amaya-Burns says, "They are afraid to go. Especially if they are undocumented or of they don't have insurance. We need to create public health intervention and ensure that this problem will be addressed as soon as possible."
And that's exactly what one local group in Gainesville is doing. The RWHP or "Rural Women's Health Project" created a program called "Creando Nuestra Salud" or "Creating Our Health," where through films, special kits and fotonovelas; which are pamphlets telling a story with a health message. They are educating women on self breast exams and proper screening. Robin Lewy with the RWHP says Hispanics need to make sure they know where to go and how to get medical services. "Training lay health workers to take the message of "Creando Nuestra Salud" door to door within their community. And with that, we've probably trained over 150 lay health workers here in North Central Florida and been able to train face to face over 2400 women," Lewy said.
Through finding from the American Cancer Society and Walmart, this year the program will train 25 more women to do a more focused outreach in Marion and Alachua counties. To learn more about the project or get involved, check out their website at RWHP.org

Parenting teenage boys can be a minefield and many a relationship has broken down because of poor communication.
That's why Te Aranui Youth Trust is organising two presentations aimed at providing some useful tips and strategies to assist families and carers who are bringing up children, particularly boys.
Delivering the 40 minute presentations entitled 'Maybe men are right - women talk too much!' will be author, business mentor, Life Coach and solo mum Anne Harvey who successfully raised four sons while owning and operating her own business.
She takes a unique and entertaining look at the male female relationship and shares the secrets of some techniques to help parents better communicate, especially with boys.
"These presentations are not just aimed at solo mums," said Operation Manager for Te Aranui Youth Trust, Wendy Nicholls.
"It may be that there are two parents in the lives of the children, but for one reason or another, the mum is shouldering the bulk of the parenting load.
"Fathers wanting to communicate better with their sons have just as much to gain from these presentations."
Western Bay of Plenty Police work closely with the Trust and are lending their support to the initiative.
Youth Aid Sergeant Nga Utanga, of Tauranga Police said: "Some of the drivers of our crime are drugs, alcohol and family violence and young men are involved in a significant number of cases.
"For a variety of reasons we are seeing young men, and women, making poor choices and decisions and heading down a path that has no happy ending.
Parenting is not an easy job and anything that helps those parents to better communicate with their children and helps to build resilient families and communities has to be viewed as positive.
"Our policing ethos is prevention, so it's important for us all to do what we can to prevent our young people taking a wrong turn."

Echoes of Emptiness
"Form is no other than Emptiness and Emptiness is none other than Form." ~ Heart Sutra
People love to spout this quote without having the slightest inkling about Madhyamika Buddhism.
Emptiness is the highest truth in Madhyamika (middle-way) Buddhism but it doesn't mean nothingness as nihilists think; it means Interdependence.
Emptiness and Interdependence have many definitions. Basically, nothing can be said to arise alone or exist solely from its own side. As for eternal essences? None can be observed anywhere, at any time!
Basic example of Emptiness: Sight does not occur without something to see, just as the existence of perceivable objects is affirmed when they are seen. Neither comes first since they arise mutually.
Madhyamika points to a conciliatory middle-path between opposite extremes that are normally thought of as mutually exclusive. Polarized thinking is dualistic and hence mistaken.
Many Buddhists consider a proper understanding of Sunyata (Void / Emptiness) to be the highest realization attainable, equivalent to enlightenment itself.
Emptiness is known as Mayavadi (Voidist) philosophy by various Hindu schools of thought that reject it as Atheism. They need a personal deity to latch onto and so cannot intuit the merits of Sunyata.
This is due in part to a purely intellectual understanding of the concept, which is not enough. Without regular meditative practice, Sunyata cannot actually be experienced and so fails as mere theory.
Contrary to common belief, Buddhist Sutras on Emptiness do not assert that the universe is an illusion. That is another type of dualism reconciled by the doctrine of Two Truths.
These Two Truths are flip-sides of a coin. On one hand, material manifestation is regarded as 'provisional' or constantly shifting. However, this doesn't mean that laws of physics don't apply.
On the other hand, ultimately reality is transcendental to the first yet includes and encompasses it. Form is Emptiness and Emptiness is Form, remember? Neither more real nor important.
Indeed, Arya Nagarjuna similarly wrote "There is not the slightest difference between Samsara and Nirvana." Cyclic existence and Emptiness ARE each other!
Those who think that the universe is an illusion are in the same boat as those that view God as being outside of creation and not within it.
It's not our universe that is illusory but the scummy perceptive lenses that we view it through. Physical reality though fluctuating is quite sacred.
No doubt perception molds reality to a great extent but the fundamental matter / energy thereby molded is very real or even better said: Ethereal.
From holy visions to hallowed sounds - the whole gammut of psychic-sensory experiences - these are all Echoes inside Emptiness!

I have seen no better movie about personal change efforts than The King's Speech, which is currently in theaters.
The movie is the story of Albert, the Duke of York, who suddenly became King George VI of the United Kingdom and was forced to confront his life-long struggle with stuttering. His speech therapist, Lionel Logue, employed a number of creative strategies to help the king improve his speech and, perhaps more importantly, overcome fear.
The film is a great illustration of several important personal change strategies, many of which I have described on this website in the context of financial change.
Here is a sample:
Make change a matter of identity. If you make your change effort a bigger part of your identity or self-image, you will be more likely to make the kinds of decisions that support your end goal. At the same time, any change effort that violates your identity will be doomed to failure. In the movie, as long as Albert repeated to himself "I am not a king," he gave up easily on the actions and exercises that would ultimately help him improve his speech. How can you make your financial change a matter of identity? Can you begin to think of yourself differently, such as "I am a saver," "I am a debt-eliminator," or "I am an investor?"
Build a sense of personal efficacy. If you start with small steps and develop a sense of mastery over small sub-goals, this will allow you to build the confidence that you have what it takes to reach your end goal. The speech therapist who worked with the king knew that the king needed to experience an "early success" in order to strengthen his commitment to treatment. He engineered a situation in which the king could hear a recording of himself reading a passage aloud with no stuttering. How can you engineer a "small success" early on in order to strengthen your belief in yourself and your personal resources?
Allow emotion to be a powerful motivator. This was the topic of last week's blog entry. One of the most powerful ways you can shift the balance in the direction of change is by getting your emotions involved in your change efforts. The speech therapist knew that the king was experiencing anger, but it often got misdirected in temper outbursts rather than harnessed for constructive change. The speech therapist used delicate maneuvers to allow the king to channel the power of his anger in the service of his treatment goal. What aspects of your problem generate feelings of distress inside of you, and how can you use this to fuel your change efforts?
Experience vicarious learning. If you see someone who is similar to you struggling with a similar problem and then making progress toward overcoming that problem, this will increase your confidence that you can overcome it, as well. In the movie, Winston Churchill revealed to Albert that he, too, had a speech impediment that he worked to overcome. It must have been comforting for Albert to realize that another high-ranking member of society had fought a similar battle. Who do you know who is similar to you and who has made progress in working toward a similar financial goal? How did they do it?
Utilize social support. If you make use of social support to help you through the difficult times, you will be more likely to succeed in your change efforts. The king's wife and his speech therapist were two key figures who provided support to the king at the darkest points in his struggle. Who are the key support people who will encourage you when you feel hopeless about your financial change efforts?
In case you haven't guessed, I highly recommend this movie. And I would like to ask my readers, what other movies would you recommend that are a tribute to personal change?

The weather cooperated again on sunday, though that seems to be a rare thing for this month. I've had more session postponed because of rain! But fortunately, sunday sun was predicted, and it actually appeared! I had 3 sessions with some wonderful kids and families. It was such a fun morning!
First, I got to meet the H family. I had a great time talking with Miss S and learning about all her favorite things.
And her baby brother kept us on our toes! He's quite a walker for such a young guy!
Isn't this a beautiful family?
Next, I had the last 2 mini sessions from the fundraiser for our nursery school. I got to meet twins D and L and their parents. We had such a good time! These 2 were all giggles!
The whole cute family:
Lastly, I got to meet sisters R and P. Another set of gigglers. I just loved R's eyelashes!
Baby sister P is just shy of 2, and adorable!
Thanks, everyone, for such a fun Sunday! I'll be working hard on your proofs so you can see them soon!

Type II diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by high blood glucose levels. It needs to be treated with diet, oral drugs and sometimes insulin to control symptoms and avoid organ damage. Patients may develop features of cognitive decline (e.g. memory problems) earlier than healthy people. This review tries to clarify whether the type of treatment or control of the glycemia influences cognitive function. None of the studies identified had sufficient high quality data to justify any conclusion. Future trials of treatment for Type II diabetes should include measures of cognitive function as an outcome.
There is no convincing evidence relating type or intensity of diabetic treatment to the prevention or management of cognitive impairment in Type II diabetes. Future research on treatments for diabetes should include standardized assessments of cognitive function as outcome measures.
There is increasing interest in preventing cognitive impairment and dementia in later life. Epidemiological evidence shows a relationship between cognitive impairment and Type II diabetes. This association is stronger in patients who have been diagnosed for longer periods of time and in those who are on insulin therapy. There is little information on the short- and long-term influence of type of treatment and level of metabolic control on cognitive function of people with diabetes.
To assess the effects of different types and intensities of treatments for Type II diabetes on cognitive function.
The CENTRAL Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, SIGLE LILACS and CINAHL as well as a number of ongoing trials databases were last searched on 4 August 2005 using appropriate strategies.
Randomized controlled trials in which different treatments for Type II diabetes have been compared and in which measures of cognitive function were made at entry and after the treatment.
Two reviewers independently assessed trial quality. Five trials were identified for possible inclusion but none of them could be included. In one, cognitive function was assessed before and after intensive or conventional diabetic treatment, but the comparison was not double-blind. The three other studies explored the effect of different treatments on QOL but did not include appropriate evaluation of cognitive function. The fifth did not report baseline data on cognitive function in the trial groups.
No studies were found to be appropriate for inclusion in meta-analysis.

The Chautauqua County Sheriff's office got the report of a man in the water near the Town of Hanover at about 9:35 a.m. 46-year-old Raymond Adamczyk of Hamburg was hunting ducks when the kayak turned over about 500 yards from shore.
A Sunset Bay jet ski was launched and Adamczyk was brought to shore.
Adamczyk was wearing a life vest, and sheriff's deputies say they don't believe he was in the water for very long. He was taken by ambulance to Lake Shore Health Care Center in Irving to be checked out.

The Coast Guard has suspended its search for a missing sailboat off the San Mateo County coast.
A Coast Guard spokesman said the search was ended at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, and that no debris or other evidence from the sinking was found after searching a 20,000-square-mile area of ocean. When asked if the call could have been a hoax, the Coast Guard spokesman said it wasn't being investigated as one.
The Coast Guard received a radio distress call Sunday afternoon from a man who reported his 29-foot sailing vessel Charm Blow was sinking 65 miles west of Pillar Point, that there was no life raft aboard, and that he and his wife were assembling a makeshift raft from a cooler and lifesaving ring before abandoning the boat with their 4-year-old son and a nephew.
A search by the Coast Guard and Air National Guard was conducted Sunday night through Tuesday morning with no results. No one has come forward to report missing family members, the Coast Guard said, and searchers have not been able to identify the people on board or the port where the Charm Blow originated.

Roman election gaffes
In the wake of Bigot-gate, you will be expecting me to come out with some old Roman versions of politicians putting their feet in it.
My favourite, I mentioned a few months ago (re the Nicholas Winterton gaffe). It's the one about Scipio Nasica who was standing for the Aedileship in the very late third or early second century BC, and canvassing eagerly and shaking the hands of potential voters. He shook the hand of a peasant farmer, which was very horny. "What" said the toff, "do you walk on these".
It was taken as an insult to the honest Roman peasant and he lost the election.
That one comes from Valerius Maximus' book of Memorable Deeds and Sayings -- a collection of Republican anecdotes (compiled in the first century AD, perhaps to be a handy compendium for orators looking for an appropriate story).
It comes from his section "On electoral defeats" (Book VII, 5).
And there are others.
They are not quite as good I am afraid. Though I do like the one about Quintus Fabius Maximus who was giving a feast to the people -- both in honour of his uncle AND as part of his campaign (bribery of this sort being OK, even de rigeur, in Rome). It was all done in aggressively simple style, "Punic couches with goatskins on them, and pottery plates not silver". It was a miscalculation. The generosity rebounded and he lost. For although everyone approved of private frugality, they didn't think it appropriate for a public banquet and "took revenge by their votes".
Most of the other defeats that Valerius Maximus trots out are terribly unjust defeats delivered by an ignorant electorate. Most sick-making of all is the account of Marcus Porcius Cato losing his election to the praetorship as the Republic tottered to its close. He was beaten by a man who Valerius Maximus thought a much inferior candidate, the thug Vatinius...(there were presumably other views). "It was not so much that the Praetorship was denied to Cato, but Cato to the Praetorship". (Pass the bucket.)
I wonder if anyone knows any better gaffes.

It is intended both as a debugging tool, and as a way for eg. things like Slime to decide if it is safe to hold on to an object (eg. should copy-down from the inspector to a presentation in the repl be allowed -- it at least deserves a big hefty confirmation if the object is stack allocated.)

Re: st: SPSS-like tables in STATA?
Fri, 30 Mar 2007 15:12:44 +0200
I think that's not quite true.
In the meantime: Here is a short list of some SPSS commands,
together with their Stata counterpart. -tab1- corresponds exactly
to SPSS' FREQUENCIES command.
FRE in SPSS procudes something like this:
Value | Label | Freq | Percent | Valid Percent | Cumulative Percent
with the difference between percent and valid percent being that one includes missing values when calculating percentages, the other does not.
"tab1 var" in Stata produces
Value | Label | Freq | Valid Percent | Cumulative Percent
i.e. the percentages including missing values are omitted.
"tab1 var, m" produces a table without the valid percentages.
I think Sebastian's suggestions do not solve the problem either; however I don't have one either, but would be very much interested in learning about one, too, as I find it quite useful to have both columns that SPSS produces in one stata table.
Any ideas?

Yeah, there is way too much TV to watch again. I definitely want to check this out though. I still haven't gotten past episode three of Treme though.
2014 VW GLI Autobahn/Nav/DSG - Two clutches. Two pedals. Four doors. No apologies.
What does everyone think of Steve Buscemi playing the main roll? I'm still hoping his character will develop into a stronger display as I'm a fan of his from Reservoir Dogs days, so I know he's capable but then I read this review in a rag and had to think it over as some of the points may be true:
Not impressed at all. Buscemi is clearly miscast. He's at his best when he keeps his mouth closed and just looks nuts--like he did in Con Air. His thin, weaselly, nasally voice carries no threat whatsoever. When he says to Jimmy, "I could have you killed," it's a laugher. He just doesn't have the menacing gravitas of, say, a DeNiro. It's as though he's a comic character. The scene where he's "playing cowboy" and his valet interrupts him is an example. His pounding on the door to get in the bathroom his woman has locked is a metaphor for his puny attempt to appear to be a powerful power broker. His skinny, pasty white body getting out of bed with the other woman is also laughable
for every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty,
many souls must be trampled - hunter s thompson
I thought I was going to dislike him in the main role as well.....for the exact reasons quoted in the article above. I found myself loving his character though....I think the build up of his character thus far shows he isn't powerful because he can out muscle a person...but because he has control, brains and hired muscle.
If he does start doing more, like what he did to the husband of the preggo chick I will scratch my head.
Thought was great start, I'm pumped to see the rest of it. Buscemi is brilliant, he does more with an expression then I have seen in any other actor.
Jimmy straight up says to him you're not gangster and that he is. That conversation addresses this issue perfectly and basically says "we know he's not intimidating but we'll have people that can be."
He plays the weasel dirtbag politician beautifully.
After one episode, I can honestly say that this is my new favorite show
Who was the guy killed at the end, and why was he killed?
I think Nucky's wife died in labor ... why else have that guy killed and show him looking at the premature babies on display in that storefront (which was a really weird scene, btw).
I thought it was a good episode; the only bad thing was sometimes the '20s background music they played got really annoying and was a distraction.
Exactly. I think his portrayal shows that not all "gangsters" are all mean-azz cutthroats. Some of them were just more focused on the business side and focused on the $$$. Violence was just a tool to be used only when necessary/last resort.
Was I the only one who thought that the mortuary/still scene, with the dead naked woman, was used just to set the period (i.e. "its the '20s and women didn't "shave")? I just thought it was unnecessary...even though I am "old school".

Liked the first episode, definitely has promise.
I am glad...one episode in and I can't wait for this Sunday (been this way since last Sunday). EVen if the story lines suck and characters suck (which I don't think they do) I would be watching it any way due to the era.

I loved the first episode, pretty sure Steve's character is just going to build up... pretty suire Scorcese got it all at play and worked out. No doubt he chose the right actor for this.
My only gripe is the intro --- for something Scorcese, I would've expected better --- but thats just me.
For peace of mind, resign as the general manager of the universe.
Loved the first episode and glad HBO has already picked up the second season. As mentioned before, I too hated the intro. I was saying to myself how horrible it was before it was even over. But the show is amazing thus far! Glad to see a mob series that doesn't stray too far away into fiction-land like the Sopranos did in representing the NJ DeCavalcante crime family.
Im really enjoying it. Love the sets and the cinematography. Great show.

An offline tutorial for a Cluster
By Raul
from Mexico city
About Me Developer
Comments about oreilly Raspberry Pi Super Cluster:
I could describe this book as a really nice introduction to create your own Raspberry Pi cluster, consider this an offline compiled tutorial to do it yourself with some code that would give some insights to start your own apps. Little Java or C++ knowledge is necessary, but a lot of self enthusiasm for have it working. It is easy to read and it will walk you through step by step, but in order to bring all what it is exposed within, it is necessary to have the hardware in place (at least two Raspberry Pi).I liked that the read is smooth, well explained and has a lot of e-references to extends on the contents provided, on the other hand, It would be a better book with more images and, for really tech people, more code to play with. This is the main reason to skip the 5 stars.I read it in a day, but if you follow the guidelines step by step, it can take you at least a whole weekend to have everything up and running.Overall a good read for your sunday night,
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Book for Raspberry Pi Beginners
By Sam2
from Boston, MA
I think this book is a great starting point for Raspberry Pi beginners. The book format is well written and step-by-step instructions are great.I follow the book instructions and finish my raspberry pi cluster without any issue. In my opinion, the book is "basic" by design.
Now available in printable format
By Henk
from Amsterdam
A few days after I wrote the first review, the book became available in printable format. So that part of the review is not correct anymore.Which does not change that the content is too basic. Like most Raspberry books too much space is dedicated on the basics again. On page 40 we are finally ready with the basic stuff, which leaves 60 pages for more or less relevant content.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
(1 of 3 customers found this review helpful)
Useless unprintable ePub
I did not realize this is a non-printable ePub and I warn other people not to buy it. The book has no real content. Just visit http://www.open-mpi.org/, read some real books on Hadoop and save the money.

A multi-agency search and rescue effort for a man in the waters off King Salmon was suspended Tuesday night, several hours after authorities received an anonymous phone call from someone reporting a possible suicide attempt.
The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office's dispatch received a 10 p.m. call from a man using a pay phone at Johnny's Marina and RV Park who said he witnessed a man walking on the beach with a black lab who suddenly yelled, "Lisa, I can't live without you," jumped into Humboldt Bay and didn't resurface.
The caller said he would not provide his name because he had warrants for his arrest.
Search and rescue personnel from the sheriff's office and a Coast Guard helicopter did not find a man in the water, the caller, any witnesses or the black lab.
"At this point, the search and rescue personnel from the sheriff's office and the U.S. Coast Guard have searched to the best of their ability, and unless new information is provided, the search is suspended," Humboldt County Sheriff's Office Lt. Steve Knight said. "If we can prove someone intentionally called in a hoax, they could possibly be facing criminal and civil penalties, which could include being held liable for the cost of the search."


text: Using the pinch test that I read on this forum, I checked the two suits I mentioned above. I pinched above the pocket area in the chest and also the bottom of the jacket, just beside the pockets. The result: I felt the wool layer (no thicker than the sleeve area), an interlayer, and the lining layer. I read on this forum that Collezioni suits are fused. The Barney's suit that I tested is made in Japan where I live, and lists for about two thirds the price of a Collezioni suit. Am I doing the pinch test wrong? I don't think so because I have tested fused suits before and they feel very different (Cerruti and Zegna Soft). Could these suits really be canvas suits, even if they are machine sewn? Please help clarify. Thanks.

April 7, 2014
Each year on April 7, World Health Day is celebrated around the world. This year's theme, "Vector-borne diseases: small bite, big threat", reminds us to take action to protect ourselves against infections that can cause serious illness.
Vectors are small organisms, usually biting types such as mosquitoes, flies, fleas and ticks, which can spread diseases that cause serious illness and death, like dengue fever and malaria. More than half of the world's population is at risk of these diseases.
The Government of Canada is committed to working with provincial and territorial health authorities and partners to raise awareness among Canadians of the health risks posed by these diseases, and to reduce these risks.
For example, the Public Health Agency of Canada has developed an Action Plan on Lyme Disease and is collaborating with partners and stakeholders to implement various activities. Lyme disease is a serious illness, caused by a bacterial infection transmitted by the bite of a blacklegged tick that is emerging in many southern regions of Canada. The Action Plan focuses on increasing engagement, education and awareness of the disease, as well as improving surveillance, prevention and control, and research and diagnosis.
The Agency has also developed a federal, provincial and territorial working group to coordinate public awareness activities on vector-borne diseases, like Lyme disease and West Nile virus, and continue to provide travel health advice to Canadians visiting countries where vectors pose a health threat.
This year on World Health Day, I encourage all Canadians to learn about how they can protect themselves from diseases spread by vectors like mosquitoes and ticks at home and during their travels. Simple measures, such as wearing protective clothing and using insect repellent, can go a long way to keep those 'small bites and big threats' at bay.
The Honourable Rona Ambrose

BWW Reviews: The Metropolitan Museum - Too Much To Hang
Largeness seems like an American thing. We super size our meals, our homes and our waistline. Wasting much and consuming more and more we try and keep pace with the need for corporations bottom line growth that seems to grow on our bottoms and hips. So follow our Museums. The Metropolitan Museum of Art- the big Kahuna on Fifth Avenue and 81st, 82nd, 83rd is my favorite Museum. I enjoy seeing the 10 plus Museums' buried inside this house of art for everyone. What I do not like is the fact that there are many more Museums' base-cemented on the MET's subterranian levels.
Why labor on this land issue, this space issue about basement deboucherie? Because your Museums are mostly vaults holding the best of the world's art dead, dying, decaying and unhung. What percentage of work in the MET's collection do you think is hug 50%, 25%, 10%? I shot the MET an email about the numbers and guess what, I still have not heard back...maybe they are counting them all and checking for themselves. Large Museum's know about this moral achilles heal. When they grow their mammoth spaces or redecorate the house with waisted dollars on fancy architects they always increase the wall space a bit-they'd be lambasted otherwise.
It is smart and easy to point out the faults in our society. On the contrary it is wise and difficult to propose solutions. The MET has a basement overload issue, what's the obvious solution? Think 1980's mentality. It is time for the MET to spin off herself and become a conglomerate of Museums in different locations.The MET attacked this expansion concept with Museum stores in several spots including a mall in the 1990's. Why did they do shops, are they a retailor? How successful was this and what was the point, to make money?
Marcel Breuer and the infamous oddly shaped Whitney Museum
The now old "New Musuem" has a stacked carton box look not unlike Breuer Whitney design. Wonder if a family move was happening when the moment of inspiration hit the two architects.
The opportunity is in the MET's grasps now to really expand. The Whitney got some big bucks a few years back and are trashing- okay maybe just running away from their old digs in the landmark 1966 Breuer building on Madison between 74th and 75th. The Whitney gang might be better off throwing out, decessioning-the C-word of the Museum world, their Hoppers and lower caliber art and upgrading to more and better Abstract Expressionist works but that's another story. The windfall has dropped on the MET. Just as they were doing a change up of their modern galleries the opportunity arose for the MET to house their soon to be limboed and de-walled collection in the Whitney. They have a two-year lease in Breuer's odd shaped box to do just that. No doubt they are thinking, should we make this the new home for our whole modern collection? Indeed that would be a blunder. The MET has always played catch up with modern and contemporary art.
In the last ten to fifteen years they seem to have made some inroads into the space of younger unsung artists. Indeed once you are at the MET you have sung and been sung to often already. At first you might think they should spin of a MET Museum of Oceanic art, A Met Museum of Greek Art or a MET for woman artists as restitution for past digressions and not letting the girls play ball. However, I have another idea. Why not let the new spaces be curatorial projects that pick from the MET's vast vaults and co-mingle several eras of art? Artist seem to make the best surprise curators and there is a wealth of just such creative eyes and hands in NYC today. Okay, you could let some traditional curators do their thing too. Maybe just a few baby MET's across the city would be cute. After all they got the art already. What's the word from the MET? It is sort of hush hush. The staff says they don't really know the plans and most New Yorkers have no idea they are headed for the Whitney's building.

"On Our Way Rejoicing"
Our last stop has been Gatlinburg, TN. We enjoyed our visit to the Dixie Stampede and Dollywood. Jim looked all over the place, high and low but never saw Dolly! We ran into the Compton's from Lexington who happened to be here too. We enjoyed having dinner together with Ben, Suzanne, Charlie and Nancy. It was nice to have friends to enjoy a meal with again.
It will be wonderful to be back in South Carolina even though there will be lots of changes from ...

... the 25th year of the German reunification (1989). They were expecting thousands of people in Frankfurt and we actually ( on Saturday night) watched the major event on the TV. Dinner was at a very small local eatery where we had pork and potatoes ( of course) and wine. We sat at long wooden table with benches..family style. A neighborhood German place full of locals and fun to experience. We returned "home" and settled down for the night.

Boots- your Seamen turned my box black!!!
Reminds me of the new music video for the Modest Mouse song "King Rat" directed by Heath Ledger.
It features sperm whales fishing for humans in the ocean. Its quite the interesting video here's the link if you were curious.

Strange question, since to all the world, anyone wearing this will look very childish indeed.
Bwah, haha. S P E R M get it?
I has such a spunky sense of humorz.
Thanks everybody. I'm glad you think it's a really fluid design that spews good humor. I'm really jacked that it printed! Soon the seamen will be covering bodies all over the world. Bwahahaha.
jenopy wrote:There's nothing pervy here.
You guys need to get your mind out of the gutter.
Of course whales make good seamen. The live in the ocean!
And furthermore, I see nothing dirty about a lad named Peter who happens to have lived in Nantucket, Or a Captain who's name happens to be Balzac, Or his first mate Chisholm (Which, for the record, I don't even get then pun in that one).
Chisholm sounds like "jism?" Or maybe it's perfectly innocuous. "Chisholm" could be the name of the writer's sister.
Love the shirt, but why is one of the whale's eye black, instead of white/light gray like it's supposed to be?
It makes him look demented, and I'd prefer priests not shouting at me for wearing the shirt (which you've done excellent at making sure they won't, heh.)
69 comments. Heehee.
Of course, I had to go and ruin it with my maturity.
Got one. Excellent.
I think the shirt itself is cute, even with the obvious wind/wave/wheel problems. However, as a former US Navy sailor, I'm terribly offended by the name of the shirt, and the write-up. They're so wrong!
There should be a "Best of Woot!" page somewhere, and this should be the #1 rated for title, description, comments, and even the design is pretty nifty!
Shigwarm wrote:I'm no sailing expert, but why is the front sail blowing in the opposite direction of all the other sails?
I am a sailing expert and I have the same concern, but that is actually the aft sail and the helms-whale is facing aft for some unknown reason. Also, the waves are cresting opposite to the wind. All very confusing.
jenopy wrote:Or a Captain who's name happens to be Balzac.
That Captain Balzac name is pretty clever. Maybe it's because I have five brothers and a pervy mind that I caught onto that one? hehe
i just noticed the fish. is he hacking it up or going to catch it?

I don't, uh,

Author Mary Roach '81 talks about the Curiosity Mars Rover landing
Aug. 22, 2012 by Wesleyan Alumni Community
Reblogged from: Wesconnect News. (Go to the original post…)
On San Francisco's KALW radio station, Mary Roach '81, author of the best-seller Packing for Mars, shared her reactions to the Curiosity Mars Rover landing.
"What's the size of a car, but travels 13,000 miles an hour? That would be the Curiosity Mars Rover, which touched down on the Red Planet last night after eight months of travel and what NASA engineers called 'seven minutes of terror.' …
"Journalist Mary Roach wrote Packing For Mars, a book about what it would take to prepare people to travel to Mars, and the future of space exploration. She spoke with KALW's Casey Miner about what happens now that Curiosity has touched down.
"MARY ROACH: 'It landed right where they wanted it to and everything went right! And just this unbelievable human achievement. Thousands of people working for the better part of a decade. To do that and it all comes together in this very brief chunk of minutes.'"

Toronto mayoral candidate John Tory unveiled his job-creation plan Thursday, vowing to create "economic corridors" in Etobicoke, Scarborough and North York – including a pledge to bring a medical school to York University.
Mr. Tory, who released his plan in a speech to the Economic Club of Canada Thursday afternoon, said that some of the city's most pressing challenges – transit and youth unemployment – can be partly addressed by attracting businesses and new jobs to areas outside the downtown core.
"As mayor, I will bring people to jobs. And where we can, I will bring jobs nearby the places where they live," he said.
One of the areas Mr. Tory said he would focus on is around York University in northwestern Toronto, where he'd like to see a new medical school – despite acknowledging that the decision would not fall within his jurisdiction. He said that the school will have a "natural geographic connection" with the Humber River Regional Hospital once the new subway is built, and the area between would become a "high-tech magnet" for new jobs and businesses.
"As mayor, this is the kind of thing that excites me about this job. I'm going to roll up my sleeves, and I'm going to work hard to get Queen's Park – because it's their decision – to licence and fund a new medical school as part of York," he said. "That's why those relationships at Queen's Park are so important."
York University has, for years, been lobbying the Ontario government for a medical school – so far to no avail. York's president Mamdouh Shoukri has made it one of his top priorities, and in 2009, hired the University of Ottawa's former dean of medicine to help put together a $150-million proposal.
The other areas of focus in Mr. Tory's plan are Scarborough (along the area where the subway extension is currently planned), the Downsview area, and the east Don Lands.
But Mr. Tory's rival candidates were skeptical.
David Soknacki expressed doubt over Mr. Tory's ability to bring a medical school to York. "Make no mistake – I'll always support a strong education system as a citizen and as a mayor," Mr. Soknacki said in a statement. "But there are already two levels of government that have the lead on delivering education in this province."
And Olivia Chow took issue with what she described as a lack of detail on how Mr. Tory plans to attract businesses to these "economic corridors."
"I didn't see a how," she said in an interview. "There have to be specific ideas. You can't just say 'I would like to see this happen.' "
Ms. Chow also responded to a passage from Mr. Tory's speech suggesting that she lacked the drive to attract businesses to the city.
"Like most people in this city, I don't have the upbringing of Mr. Tory," she said. "But representing our city is earned, not inherited."Report Typo/Error

Tuukka Rask leads Bruins to shootout win over Blue Jackets
|11.17.11 at 9:42 pm ET
Tuukka Rask and David Krejci came up big for the Bruins Thursday as they defeated the Blue Jackets, 2-1, in shootout fashion at TD Garden. Rask made 30 saves and stopped two of the three attempts in the shootout. With the shootout tied at one after two rounds, Krejci beat Curtis Sanford stick-side before Rask stopped Antione Vermette to give the B's the win. Rich Peverley also scored for the B's in the shootout.
Derek MacKenzie tipped a Nikita Nikitin shot on the power play to give Columbus a 1-0 lead at 2:49 of the second period. Adam McQuaid then scored his first goal of the season at 4:24 on a goal that was initially credited to Peverley.
The Bruins outshot the Blue Jackets, 5-4, in overtime, with Columbus holding a 27-22 advantage during regulation and 31-27 advantage throughout the game. The game ended a stretch of six straight games in which the B's scored at least four goals.
– McQuaid got his first goal of the season against the team that drafted him. The defenseman was taken by Columbus in the second round of the 2005 draft and was dealt to the B's in 2007.
– Rask had a strong showing for the B's on a night in which he had to be on his toes. The number of Bruins turnovers and the Blue Jackets' shot advantage meant the 24-year-old had to come up big, time after time, and he did. Rask stopped MacKenzie point-blank in front after the Columbus center got a feed from behind the net, and he made a nice pad save on Jeff Carter in the second. He came up big once again in overtime on a pair of shots in front.
– Shawn Thornton got an opportunity to drop the gloves when he squared off with Jared Boll at 8:35 of the second period. It was a pretty lengthy bout, and one that grew pretty heated, as the two were still in each other's faces and screaming at one another following the fight. Boll may have been mad at Thornton for trying to continue the fight after refs tried to break it up.
– Sloppy, sloppy play for much of the first two periods. Turnovers led to Columbus chances, including a slip-up to the right of Rask's net by Steven Kampfer, Mark Letestu gained control on the play, but Rask bailed the B's out, as he often had to do amidst a generally drowsy night for Boston.
– Benoit Pouliot took a really dumb roughing penalty after some work in the corner of the offensive zone with Aaron Johnson led to him taking it too far and getting his hands in the face of the Columbus defenseman right in front of a referee. With the game tied in the third period and Pouliot's spot in the lineup not solidified, it wasn't the smartest move in the world. Pouliot stayed in the lineup with the return of Daniel Paille, meaning Jordan Caron was the healthy scratch. We'll see if Pouliot's penalty costs him an opportunity Saturday against the Islanders.
– Speaking of Pouliot, the winger nearly made it two straight games with a goal when he beat Sanford high stick side. The puck appeared to go in and bounce out at first glance, but play continued and there was no video review at the next stoppage, suggesting it rang off the post/crossbar.
– A hell of a stat dug up by the great Scott McLaughlin, who notes that the Bruins' four straight games with a power play goal allowed marks their longest such stretch since Oct. 1-12 of 2009.
– With no points in the game, Tyler Seguin now has a season-worst two-game points drought. That should borderline go in the "What Went Right" section, as it illustrates how insane Seguin has been statically this season. Seguin was tied for the lead amongst Bruins forwards with three shots on goal Thursday.

Spl at 4 metres for listening to low organ pipes
I have never owned subs before but now want to augment some open baffles
which will be OK above 50HZ. I need one sub to come down to around 16Hz for organ music. I have two other subs that come down to high 20s - low 30s. What is a realistic SPL to aim for at about 16Hz bearing in mind that it is likely to shake and rattle the house contents a bit. I would like to feel that the fundamental is there. Enclosure cannot be two big but proving the footprint is under 60cm square it can fit in a corner behind the TV and be fairly tall although under 150cm tall would be good. Any ideas appreciated.
