Dear all,
I am having the same exact problem as Catherine had in this Post
I am trying to create a box graph with following command:

Today we start running profiles of the candidates vying in the June 3 primary. The hopefuls for Butte County Supervisor District 2 — Larry Wahl and Andrew Merkel — go first. next up are the candidates for Butte County Supervisor District 3, Maureen Kirk and Bob Evans.
There are two candidates running for the Chico-area 2nd Butte County Supervisors District in the June Primary.
Incumbent Supervisor Larry Wahl is being challenged by Andrew Merkel, who identifies himself in his candidate filings as a real estate broker.
Each of the two was asked six questions in a telephone interview with the newspaper.
How long have you considered running for office, and what prompted you to join this particular race at this time?
Merkel >> he made the decision probably two weeks before the deadline to get candidate's paperwork completed. He said he was finishing the (medical cannabis) referendum and "I can only focus on two big projects one at a time."
Wahl >> "Almost four years ago, shortly after I was elected last time." He said in the first four years he "wanted to make sure the county was firm footing" and now wants to seethe "marijuana thing reaches a successful conclusion."
What is your background in politics or government office?
Merkel >> Cited his college education in political science that gives him an academic background on top of heading three political action committees since 2011 in referendums, initiatives and recalls. He has also worked in the campaign for another supervisor, where he did "important, minor stuff."
Wahl >> Besides his years as a supervisor, Wahl served 10 years on the Chico City Council and almost three years on the Chico City Planning Commission.
What do you see as the most important responsibilities and duties of a Butte County supervisor?
Merkel >> He say as a supervisor his most important duties include, "The infrastructure of my district, making sure the roads are in repair and everything is kept up."
He also said there are "a lot of empty county lots sitting inside the sphere of the city of Chico." He said he would like to raise the "taxable values of these lands by getting them annexed (into the city) or helping developers with fees. We need to foster jobs, not just in the cannabis, but like in housing in Chico."
Wahl >> The most important duty is "providing for the safety and well-being of the residents of Butte County. I want to make sure all of the residents of Butte County have the opportunity for the peaceful enjoyment of their property and of their homes, whether it is dealing with marijuana growers or wild fires.
He said a supervisor much dedicate much of his time "responding to residents who have difficulties from neighbors, people living in stream beds, marijuana growing, or getting through the bureaucracy of the county."
Explain what you will have to do or change in your life to accommodate the time demands of this position?
Merkel >> He said there is "nothing basically" that he will have to change in his life. "There is going to be a few more meetings. I will have to adjust a few of my businesses around. I am handing over some of the responsibilities (for these to others) and letting go."
Wahl >> "The number of hours I work every week fluctuates. It is a full-time job, but it is not a 9 to 5 job."
What makes you the best person to be elected to this post?
Merkel >> "I'll dedicate more of my time than Mr. Wahl (to being a supervisor). I know I can do six times as much in a week as Larry Wahl does in a month."
Wahl >> He said his experience serving Butte County and his country qualify him for the post. "I know what people need and want in terms of their service from government."
Why would any same person want to be a Butte County supervisor?
Merkel >> "That's a tough question. I don't think anybody really wants this job. I want to make this a better place. I just see too much good old boy stuff going on. We have to increase the tax base and have more money in the coffers can share."
Wahl >> "I get asked that a lot. You wonder sometimes if you areally are sane when you do this. It boils down to helping the community and the people in the community, and that's why I do what I do."

By- Dr. Amy Movius
Frostbite is something everyone is Maine should know a thing or two about. With single digit temperatures expected this week, it's a good time to review some frostbite facts. Frostbite is when body tissues literally freeze, and ice crystals form inside cells. If the skin is the only tissue frozen it is "superficial" frostbite. Deep frostbite occurs when all tissue layers are involved. Ironically, frostbite is classified by degrees, similar to burns.
Certain areas of the body are more susceptible to frostbite. This is because, in very cold conditions, the body's first priority is to keep the core organs and tissues warm. To do this, blood will be shifted away from the extremities/outermost parts of the body and towards the more "essential central organs" such as the heart and the lungs. (While you may think your fingers and toes are essential, your physiology does not!). Anywhere that skin is exposed, such as the face, is also at risk.
The first symptom of frostbite is usually numbness or loss of feeling. Affected areas may even feel frozen and hard. Also, skin can turn white, waxy or grey in appearance.
Everyone is at risk for frostbite in freezing weather if not dressed properly, if they are in the cold for too long, or if they become wet. The old and young tend to be especially vulnerable as are those with circulation problems (ex = diabetes), those who have had a previous injury from the cold, and persons using drugs such as beta – blockers or those using alcohol, caffeine, or nicotine as all these substances can decrease circulation.
So, when does frostbite occur? First, the temperatures must be at or below freezing. This is not as simple as it sounds, however, as the effective temperature is affected by wind, which cools the body at a faster rate. The colder the effective temperature (including wind chill), the faster frostbite can develop. For example, at a temperature of 0◦ with no wind, frostbite should not occur. With a wind of 15mph the wind chill factor is -19◦ and exposed skin will freeze in an average of 30 minutes. If the ambient temperature is -15◦ with the same wind of 15mph, skin will freeze in about 10 minutes. This is because the effective temperature will now be -40◦.
The best treatment for frostbite is prevention. Dress in light, loose layers that provide ventilation and insulation. Head protection is very important as 40% of body heat can be lost from the head. Protect the hands and feet also; for this purpose, mittens are superior to gloves. Don't drink or smoke before going out in cold conditions, and if you get wet, get inside ASAP. The same goes for if any numbness develops.
If evidence of frostbite occurs, move to a warm room ASAP. Call for help. Giving/consuming warm drinks such as broth and tea may be useful. Rest and elevate the frostbitten area, and if the feet are involved, avoid walking. The area of frostbite should be immersed in warm (not hot) water until sensation/warmth returns, which may take 30-45 minutes. If there is a chance re-exposure will occur shortly after warming, do not rewarm as refreezing will cause even more damage. With return of sensation, significant pain may develop.
Frostbitten areas should never be rubbed, as this can cause further injury. Likewise, never use dry heat (heating pads, sunlamps, fireplaces etc.) when treating frostbite. Since the frostbitten areas are numb, it is easy to burn the skin of these areas with dry heat and not know it.

If the AKG 550 are half the price with a similar sound why do they score 8, and these Moda 9?
can't say I've heard these, but there are lots of other great options out there at this price and below
Not everything is about sound quality. V-moda is simply unmatched when it comes to build quality, innovation, style and their included accessories & warranties.
So if you haven't heard them.... what's your point? Before hearing, I zoned in on these as a compromise between travel convenience, ( I live, "on the road" ), and sound. As it turns out, the sound is awesome and worthy of a full-on set of Princess Leia cans; so with all due respect..... Shaddap until you've tried them.
I got these this week - very surprised with the performance and delivery V-Moda offer.
A well executed package in the aduio delivery (especially with my music tastes - hiphop, dubstep, reggae to name a few) all the way through to the material, construction and packaging.
These are perfect to me for my needs - couldn't be happier.
If you like bass to be a high on your priority list when looking for some new cans, get these. Dont bother wasting time trying to figure out what is good out there. Just get these.
odd that the BASS response is what the reviewer loved about this V-100 set, yet he criticizes the Philips Fidelio X1 for the same reason......And the Philips has NOWHERE NEAR the "bassy" sound of the V-Moda 100... So, some days you like bass in your V-Moda and other days you dont like it in your Philips Fidelio X1?....?
The reason why is because the V-Moda M-100 delivers a clean, tight, and powerful bass that doesn't distort or become overpowering compared to other competitors.
There's nothing similar between those two. AKGs are positioned as more linear, less "fun" headphones. They have very different sound signatures (look at innerfidelity graphs). I had AKGs and the bass was anemic, the mid-treble sibilant, I wasn't happy with them at all, went back to my ATH M50. Didn't hear the V-Moda yet, but according to all the reviews out there it's nothing like the AKGs.
They're more durable than anything else. They're humidity&salt tested (sweat), be bent flat 10 times without weakening, and can survive a minimum of 70 drops from 6 ft. If you're active and tough on your stuff then you'll break your headphones pretty quickly (just trust me), unless you get these. Pus they have a 2 year warranty and a lifetime warranty of 50% off your next pair. If having great sound quality and a unique style wasn't enough.
Koss has a lifetime warranty but I doubt they're as durable.
great....the problem tho, is that music lives in the MIDRANGE, not the low end.
so, anytime someone fixates on "low end", this is because the mids are not great.
Absolutely agree.
Makes me wonder why the reviewer even mentions the AKG as an alternative to these. Totally different sound.
hi guys, i have been planning to buy vmoda m100 but i am still reading reviews. I need your advice. i am a basshead type of person but i dont want the bass to affect the mids and highs. I have sony mdr v55 and i really love how it sounds. however, the build quality is 3/10. I am looking for a pair of cans that has sub bass effects, clear mids and highs, not like the one i also have the sync by 50 wireless which gives me a lot of bass but drowns the vocals and other instrument, no separation at all.
vmodas are not available here in my country so there is no way I can test them myself. I am depending only through reviews, and I dont wanna make mistake cos it is really expensive but if it is worth the money i will be happy to have it.
One more thing, does anyone can tell which headphones come close to vmodas sound quality, we might have them here in my place. This will give me an idea how they really sound.

PGG-Wrightson - controlled by Singapore-based Agria - has delivered a turnaround result from last year's first-half loss of almost $6 million for an after-tax profit of $3.1 million.
PGG's managing director, George Gould, said the improved operating results were underpinned by increases in profitability from the company's livestock, retail and real estate operations.
The AgriTech operation, which includes seeds, grain and nutrition, reported earnings broadly in line with last year.
PGG shares were up slightly at 40c, following the announcement.
"Overall, PGG Wrightson's operating profitability has improved as the company follows its plan which is simply to offer high quality service and products to its farmer clients throughout New Zealand, Australia and South America," he said in a market statement yesterday.
Craigs Investment Partners broker Peter McIntyre said PGG had been through a "three-year transformation". The turnaround result earned management a "B+ on getting things right" for shareholders, who will now be expecting a dividend.
Mr Gould said that PGG Wrightson's financial position had improved by selling the finance company and it would enjoy lower debt servicing costs.
Heartland New Zealand, which wants to apply for a banking licence, bought PGG's finance unit for about $98.2 million and, according to the accounts, PGG made a $3.37 million loss on the sale.
Since Agria took control of PGG, the company has been streamlining its business and selling assets. PGG's board did not declare an interim dividend and has not made a return to shareholders since 2010, BusinessDesk reported.
PGG's earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (ebitda) increased 55% to $22 million.
The AgriTech unit, responsible for seed and grain research, reported ebitda of $38 million from $33 million a year earlier.
The retail unit, responsible for rural supplies and Fruitfed operations, increased to $17.1 million from $13.9 million. Its livestock unit jumped to $3 million from $539,000.
Earnings from other AgriServices, which include insurance, wool and real estate, were $1.29 million from a year-earlier loss of $1.8 million.
AgriServices' earnings rose to $21 million from $12.6 million.
At the end of 2009, PGG had a rights issue and Agria Corp acquired a 19% stake, which by April last year had risen to a 50.22%. Agria is jointly owned, directly or indirectly, by Beijing-based Agria Corp and New Hope, one of China's largest agricultural and food corporations.

We talk pucks with the lovely and talented Kathryn Tappen of the NHL Network and preview game 4 of the Stanley Cup final and beyond.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
-- Ali here at west and Johnny's WEEI. Jacket or to be with a 1015 minutes for the entire 5 o'clock hour including a and other participation in answer the question. Just before 6 o'clock got a question for us or for Jack. 37 937. Or use the hash tag ETQ. On Twitter also -- the five pounds and get to some of the responses. Via the open my cap on what people said when Ray Allen buried -- -- last night what your response was sworn in at the open Mike GAAP. Easy to do open your WE I live map on the apple or android mobile device put on the open Mike button. On the bottom right corner we've your meth for ten seconds or less than they use it here on the show it brought you by AT&T which wireless provider of Boston Bruins -- the most sporty coverage in the. We have a -- but by the way as we have -- -- but would not -- that big -- -- -- Yes. There's a beat but so you -- gonna say what you gotta say about Ray Allen. We're at it last night either hitting a home run this look at this really hurting in this all the cattle you have. -- ready addict I was that. That game was over we have the bottle ready all -- and I am getting it to rock they have favorite win -- We have particular -- -- your mind that prematurely in Fifth Avenue then to -- the whole thing I encounter -- -- -- -- -- for the second time this week from NHL network. Here at -- -- like you again happening no food for you this time now with the hack it appear. It appear before -- up here. I think so -- range no I think make it better America is that a big dummy. There were out of -- make sort of effort that's approved. -- society we saw you before game three predicted that the Bruins in game three but that it would still be a close. Long theories you after watching the Bruins not just win game three but dominated for all sixty minutes. Do you still believe this will be long. Yes I still believe I -- going to win in six. I need. I love the way the Bruins played in the last game back down that we've seen the last of Chicago they're gonna come back stronger in this game especially they noted that when this one with a home otherwise it's. You know they're going to be one and done when -- backed united center for game five so. Yes I -- -- -- -- -- and the like -- despite the fact as to nothing was still that was hiking or at any point -- not a good -- it. You guys across the. Not I don't you got out face -- when I expect him one night absolutely. Sure. Game three -- you personally witnessed Chicago with a -- off. I don't have -- bet he did it happened. Seated up -- -- at all the trees -- I don't remember it actually. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- But if it is going to be a long series. Who have -- Does that Chicago. But that Chicago to your love of who's gonna step what was going to be that person. -- that you look at. Well I think I think tonight you'll see -- came back together and that's gonna make a huge difference but absolutely gates has got to be better -- has to be better -- stars have to just step up and and do what they've been doing all post season all regular season it in the best team in hockey. We haven't seen that yet and Jonathan Toews knows he's got to be better. I'd like to see him. You know. Admit that a little bit after post -- interview -- just to say you know I've got to be better we have really heard that from himself. But he's their guy again and it starts from the captain you know married -- probably playing against the night at the we're being told so he should be back in the lineup which of the difference maker for Chicago as well maybe. He saw her he couldn't even go in game three and yet two days later is going to be fine. I'm I'm look at. You guys did you guys question there have been I was watching you posted. Game three I got the guys argue about the lives that what crypto was thinking -- If that -- that situation let. Any of the guys really were -- critical of hosted. -- they were not put critical posts they were trying to figure out why it was Ben Smith that went in the lineup when he wasn't in warm ups your new host that we -- we were. Found after the game that you most of -- probably not going backing he was seeking warm ups to determine if he was good enough to go wasn't. So if you know you've got a player that is not going to be able to play in the game why would you put a guy who probably is gonna take his place lineup. In the warm -- that was what was weird -- but -- into -- -- from Connecticut. No idea he was gonna play your putting him into a deep in the Stanley Cup final without a warm -- but it's frantically trying to get his equipment on that's what was -- it's also. Let's I've no doubt something was seriously wrong with the guy especially closes for the four Stanley Cup finals the last six years he's not just gonna take himself out. But I think also there's something seriously wrong with him. That that prompted him to remove himself from the lineup and how should I believe that he's going to be a factor in game 42 days later. It's not like it's another week while -- in my -- listening gonna be a factor but he is going to be a big difference in the just having him in the lineup he's a veteran guy he's experienced. He's a fantastic world class player he will make a difference being in the lineup that's you know not disease and -- score five goals he probably is pretty banged up. But I think just having him as presences there's huge for them. What does he do for a let's say that Internet. Papers. Well I think -- big body he's cute if you -- a person without the excuse he he gets all over the ice gets in front of the net he's a great offensive forward. You know I think he makes a difference when he's in there and the chemistry that he has the power play opportunities he's able to get scoring chances. He knows the Boston Bruins he knows what it's like the playing games like this though. He's a difference maker there's no question about it -- cop he's the guy that locker room that -- that get the job done so. You know that's that's why when he's in the lineup he makes that. -- per -- is with us here in person at that west and -- down by the garden get ready for game four tonight. Who surprised you most in this -- I think Daniel Friday I think I mean I think it's. You know what he's capable of but for him to be the player for the Boston Bruins is now. Had two game winning goals to win it in the series it's unbelievable I mean you expected -- crates in Lucci did. And Bergeron about those big goals but it's been Daniel Friday and it just goes to show you the work ethic he has. The ability that he has to really make other guys on his line better look at Chris Kelly is able to do right now in Tyler Sagan played better and and that's the kind of player Daniel piety and hard nosed guy he you know will do anything for the opportunity to win the game and I've been surprised that as pleasantly surprise you know is capable of it but it's been really nice to see that and I make the difference. Where where the Bruins did get your -- and the consolation prize was probably got your mentality that they had to give up a first round that work I was -- forty years old. At the tablet the pretty curious. What do you think you've -- -- department he's been a guy a lot of people like bill area is it that high profile guy who went off on. After the first period of game two when he got. I I like am I likely played -- that we're watching a guy who is gonna go down as one of the all time greatest players to play scheme the fact that he's still playing at this high level. 4142. Years old 21 years removed from last Stanley Cup it's unbelievable. You know he he makes he makes plays out there he's got a lot you know he -- assist on that goal all. Unbelievable beautiful beautiful -- that is of the gold doesn't mean not effective for the Boston Bruins so. I like to move out like that when -- theater immediately decided to go to Pittsburgh. They got -- I think he's you know I've loved what he says about David -- unit of that he was the greatest childhood idol -- -- where in the locker room when you're trying to win a championship. You guys we admire each other chemistry is great. So why not we hope he's gonna get on the board when it once he's graphical like the whole garden -- -- -- here but. You know it's only a matter of time but his game playing in his -- making skills and ability. Second if he scores a goal tonight the -- Personal I don't know the Bruins -- gonna lose this game anyway but you're right if -- scores a goal and her out like six nothing to Chicago in the time. Fielding is going to be saying yeah event -- -- brilliant. Absolutely. And I think of that to -- rotted out. But the way this building will react -- talking to people were in the crowd the other night Tom parents in the crowd the names and all anybody around we'll talk about. With you are very -- but all they -- did you -- with talk about soccer fascinated by it every time he touched off every time he passed the puck every time he refused. I'm happy I think it's a great word too because he is he is a fascinating individual off the -- yes and on the ice -- -- -- our preparation is unbelievable the fact that you know they always talks about yet the keys to the practice facilities. He's on the bike at the doctor deems after just completed an unbelievable playoff game where he's probably. Mentally physically draining those on the bike to work harder it is it he is a fascinating player and and that's what is so remarkable that we're witnessing one of these. Unique. Greatest players of all time right now point at Boston. I saw what he was I twenty and I would say if I had to put a percentage on it I'd say about -- 5% faster -- that he is now the question. He's he's the slowest guy on me. But I would I would out of the race with -- wall they're wearing wearing pads I think -- I think he's their right -- I think -- the supposed to have her. But what I didn't understand about if -- can pick it up over but other people criticizing -- How how do you not -- The play making ability Heidi about the imagine the imagination and creativity. That he brings to it is. I think probably that criticism too and -- like coached him you know he I. And that's right now I had a long history there errors or their stuff that you know there's reason because how likely other people I don't like that exactly felt coach. It was -- With in. He. Coach I don't like I needed. I don't according to Mike and -- it like here. I thought it was but he coached him and -- -- hit me in the winter island -- -- Philadelphia. For the maybe coach human on any details that -- argument and our. I checked it realigned -- any doubt that. Just get a check with -- when he when he talked him. But I do remember we were -- games on this thing you know tiger is you know -- Bruins. You know playing against the Bruins that Michael is adamant and against them. It never everything. Positive. Talk more about the Chicago because. Maybe I'm not giving them enough respect maybe a major yet right fight when you got that it's totally deaf or tentative agreement and by the way I've -- puck bouncing off appearances gateway for would be the redevelopment of benefit on having -- they're cognizant of the optical nieces and thought making excuses dumb -- -- -- At a public audit rebounds off the -- -- you're talking about a three nothing lead right now -- So you think I deserve better. Not -- -- like that I'm explaining where I think about it Democrats are in giving them credit but probably not enough denied it. If they're back it's really against the wall tonight I think it is I was just here he said that it was. How will Chicago -- on to be. They're gonna have to be they're gonna have to shorten the bench the -- at the -- players a lot more -- at the -- Toews Kane and get them going probably the majority of the game your big guys out there it's all or nothing right now so. They got to give everything they have these guys going to be tired in the -- Soviet they have two days off before -- -- game five in Chicago is that's how they're gonna have to do have to be physical.

It is possible. Only the ends should be straight lines. I tried it in a model. Have not tried to get the same in a drawing though.
Re: Circular Cross Sectionptc-4767562 Apr 26, 2013 3:37 AM (in response to s.iyer)
yes i tried like as you said but i cant make the cross section "set active". it shows the cut but not able to show on drawing
Re: Circular Cross SectionTomD.inPDX Apr 26, 2013 8:36 AM (in response to ptc-4767562)
According to the help files it can be done. Find "Example: Cross Section Views" in help and look at the unfolded views options.

Re: Circular Cross SectionTomD.inPDX Apr 27, 2013 2:00 AM (in response to s.iyer)
We seem to have unearthed yet another bug. In that section, it seems we can't change the angle of the section hatch in arched section segments
The other desire here would be to "unfold the section" and it seems to be grayed out for this style. If you look at the section in the original image, the holes are not aligned in the center of the slot not is the one on the left round although they are centered in the origin view.
Below is as close as I could come to the original request. The angled cross hatch was from a parametric sketch projected to the drawing and hatched.
There seems to be serious limitations with curves in sections. I'm looking forward to some really powerful upgrades to this in the next release (PTC... are you listening?).
Of course, you can do a lot with non-associative means of making views. Not having the full context of the original drawing it is hard to see what we are looking at. If those are in fact rotated sections within the Y1-C5 view, then you have even more work to do inside Creo. Section views is something that has always been lacking in Pro/E. Even the section below cannot be "Activated" in the model for some reason.
Re: Circular Cross Sectionptc-4767562 Apr 28, 2013 6:14 AM (in response to TomD.inPDX)
Re: Circular Cross SectionTomD.inPDX Apr 28, 2013 11:47 AM (in response to ptc-4767562)
The unwrapping of the view has to be done with some new geometry in the model or an outright sketch in the drawing.
I am not sure it -can't- be done. Do you have maintenance? If so, you could ask customer support why you can't unfold this section.

The Caribbean includes islands and countries as diverse as Cuba, Curacao, Dominica, Dominican Republic, French Antilles, Guadeloupe and Martinique, Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and The Virgin Islands. Common foods like seafood, chicken and coconut, as well as recipes like jerk and callaloo, unite these islands into a heterogeneous culinary paradise.
Handle Scotch bonnets with extreme caution. It's best to wear gloves when cutting and cleaning them. The tiniest drop of pepper juice on your hands can result in incredible pain should you inadvertently wipe your face or rub your eye. Enjoy this Scotch bonnet sauce, but use it sparingly!
In a nonreactive pot, heat the oil. sauté the onions until they are translucent but not brown. Add the mangoes or pawpaws, carrots, cho-cho, pimento berries, peppercorns, thyme, and ginger. sauté the mixture 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the sugar and Scotch bonnet peppers. When the sugar has become syrupy, add the vinegar, and cook until the carrots are soft, about 5 to 10 more minutes.
Purée the mixture in a blender, and strain it. Store it in a tightly closed bottle in the refrigerator.

How much simpler would it be to just pay people fairly and eliminate the jealousy around inconsequential pay differentials. One reason people put so much weight onto such small differences is that they are looking for signs of recognition and appreciation. Give them the recognition and appreciation all of the time, throughout the year, and you will find that the need for a symbolic but inconsequential raise will shrink.
Make the Outcome Be Correct
Most managers in most review and compensation systems have wide latitude when making final determinations concerning raises. A manager of an agile team should know more about everybody and more about the factors of team success than an equivalent manager in a command-and-control environment. Use the knowledge to make the right thing happen.
Emphasize the Non-monetary Satisfactions of Agile
If you have a reasonably healthy agile implementation, your people will generally feel more positive about their jobs than they did in the pre-agile past. Find out if this is true and add it to the annual review picture. People enjoy having professional latitude. They enjoy having some control over their work life. They enjoy being able to contribute in unexpected and creative ways. They enjoy not being micro-managed. These and other benefits of agility count greatly towards overall employee job satisfaction and engagement. Arrange to have these positive aspects of agile be noticed, discussed, and mentioned during your annual performance review. Allow the performance review to include the employees' review of management and the company. You'll be surprised at some of the good ideas you will get from this kind of discussion.
Deal with the Outliers
All but the very most incompetent managers know which of their employees are the top performers and which are the bottom feeders. Neither Scrum nor waterfall nor lean nor agile makes this any more or less obvious. You can take action on your top 1 percent and bottom 1 percent (or even 5 percent) regardless of the methodology your teams use. Make sure your one or two true stars are kept happy, and don't be afraid to deal with your one or two laggards.

Louise (f ): Hallo, and you are all very welcome to Saturday
night with Louise Kings and The Sandman, East Coast FM, political, spiritual,
cultural and world events show. I am your host, Louise
Kings.Sandman (m ): And I am the Sandman.
Louise (f ): And tonight we are extremely honored again
to interview Grand Supreme Master Ching Hai. Now the last time we spoke to her
we were discussing the adverse effects of meat eating to both our planet and
ourselves, and some of the ways that we could help our planet. And tonight she
joins us to talk about our oceans and the seas. And some of the things that
we are going to be discussing will be the coral reefs, contaminates in our fish
and some of the effects of overfishing. So we are asking you to be interactive
with us tonight; let us know your thoughts, your comments or your questions.
Louise Kings(f): We are very honored to talk to Supreme
Master Ching Hai, which we do have online live. Hallo, good evening.
Supreme Master Ching Hai : Good evening, Louise and the
Sandman. Hi.
Louise (f): Hallo, Supreme Master.
Sandman (m): Hallo. Supreme Master
Ching Hai : How are you?Louise (f): It's great
to talk to you again. Sandman (m): You're very, very
welcomed to the show and we're sitting here with bated breath with all your new
knowledge or old knowledge about saving the Earth. Louise (f):
Well, we're going to give her a little bit of feedback from the first
show that we did three months ago. Supreme Master Ching Hai
: Wow! Sandman (m): Let me tell you that since
I spoke to you last, I am have gone completely vegetarian.
Sandman (m): And so much so that I cannot even go near
a supermarket that has any meat displayed at all. And it has made such a great
change in my life. I do believe it was probably something that was inside,
somewhere inside my psyche or somewhere inside that I just newly discovered. And
now, I am just completely against meat eating. Supreme Master
Ching Hai : Wow! Louise (f): Well, we've had
plenty of other feedback, Supreme Master, that's been really, really
heartwarming from young children that we've spoken to since the show, where
they've been talking to their parents about becoming vegetarian or becoming
vegetarians. So much so, it's even gone as far as going into some schools where
they've held some vegetarian cooking days and things. So it's just been
fantastic. And aside from that, other people have said they've cut right back
down on meat and that they plan to kind of phase it out. For us, It was easy for
us to cut it out. But in the 3 months since we've spoken to you, I mean the
results that we've seen in ourselves has, not just from a physical point of
view, but also I think from spiritual point of view, has been fantastic. And
certainly something I would highly recommend to all. (Wow!)
Sandman (m): Well, long may it
continue.Louise(f): Well, I have to say, Supreme
Master, my hair is in better condition since I have gone become vegetarian.
Supreme Master Ching Hai :
Truly?Louise(f): Definitely and my
nails.Supreme Master Ching Hai :
Wow!Louise(f): Hair and nails and skin, definitely
ahuge improvement.Supreme Master Ching Hai : Yes,
beautiful you are. You're beautiful all together, you two.
Louise (f): Supreme Master, Ireland, as you know, is
surrounded by the sea so I think it's appropriate to start off by taking a look
at the wonderful part of our ecosystem and the perilous state that it's in. We
start off with the ocean dead zones. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg
in Sweden have discovered 20 dead zones around the Irish coastline and 400
worldwide. If global dead zones were combined they would equal New Zealand in
size. Scientists mainly blame fertilizer and other farm runoff, sewage and
fossil fuel burning. But Robert J. Diaz, Professor of the Marine Science of
University of Gothenburg said that,"We could end up with no crabs, no shrimp and
no fish." How important is the sea to human survival? Supreme
Master Ching Hai : Well, it is as important as the forest to Earth and
the water. According to research, 50% of our Earth's oxygen is provided by
microscopic sea plants, 50%. And now the dead zones in the oceans kept spreading
and increasing around the globe. Some were even there for many years, but we
have just found them recently. So, they cover at least like 95,000 square miles
for the one that we have discovered, with more not yet discovered even. The
pollution from fertilizers, sewage and fossil burning fuel are to blame,
according to scientists. But even cage farming for salmon also cause dead zones,
as in the Big Glory Bay in New Zealand. They have discovered that it's also been
a dead zone because of the caging in salmon farming. So, the area has begun to
recover after the salmon cages were removed, according to research and
documented by Diaz and Rosenberg of Swedish Gothenburg University. We will
provide you some websites for further info. Right now, it's too much to read
here. We'll send it to you.
(f): Fantastic. Actually, it's a very interesting way of looking at it,
that the sea is like our forest, our underwater forest. I've never really looked
at it that way. But if we talk about like the coral reefs, Alex Rogers, from the
Zoological Society of London writing in the Journal Science said that an
astonishing 33% of the world's reef building corals face extinction, mainly
because of overfishing and coastal development and pollution, with another 50%
hanging in the balance. And also a report from the World Resources Institute
in 1998, suggested that 60% of the world's coral reefs are threatened by human
activity. What would be the effects if the coral reefs disappeared and what can
we do to prevent this from happening? Supreme Master Ching Hai
: What would be the effects? Whatever is created there are good for us.
Now, the coral reefs are there for some reason. See? There are many factors that
affect coral reefs, like coastal development, water pollution, changing sea
water temperature because of global warming. So, global warming is the greatest
threat as it causes coral bleaching, or when temperature gets too high, and
the corals' important symbiotic algae is lost and exposes their white skeleton,
and that's the sign of death for the coral colony.As they are sensitive to the
environment, extremely slow in growing as well, some say that they grow only 30
centimeters in 1000 years, and they need special conditions to survive.
Therefore, some scientists predict that most of the coral reefs could disappear
in the near future if global warming increases. Scary, 10% lost just in the last
four years alone. Coral reefs are just like the forest on land. They are the
protectors of 100-plus countries' coastlines against storm surges and
hurricanes. They are the protectors. And they are also the supporters of
over 25% of all marine species. They are the medical treasure which is used in
many medicines like antihistamines, antibiotics, treating for asthma, heart
disease even, etc., etc. And plus more than 50% of new cancer drug research
relies on marine organisms. So you see how important it is. And there are many
more things that we have not discovered about the benefits of coral reef and
marine life.Louise (f): So, we really do need to do
what we can to protect them? Supreme Master Ching Hai :
Yes. We have to stop global warming, that's what.Louise
(f): If we were to look at contaminates in fish, Supreme Master,
dolphin meat sold in Japan has high levels of mercury, methylmercury, DDT and
PCB's. One or more of these contaminates pollute almost all of the dolphin meat
for sale in Japan, with one sample having more than 1,600 times the maximum
permitted amount of mercury. I can't believe that people are not being
informed of the levels of mercury in fish on food packaging but as it's even
been sold to pregnant women. Master Ching Hai, do you feel that government
should do more to inform people of these issues? Supreme Master
Ching Hai : Yes, definitely. The European Union's Food Safety Agency
has warned pregnant women to limit swordfish and tuna intake due to their high
mercury levels, which can cause brain damage in unborn babies. The United States
Environmental Agency also issued a similar warning. It is estimated 1 in 8
American women of child-bearing age has dangerous levels of mercury in their
blood. Fifteen percent of babies in the United States in 2000, were exposed to
fatally high levels of the mercury, according to research conducted by an
international team of scientists in Japan in 1999.Dolphin meat is reported to be
also even disguised often as whale meat and is mostly contaminated. More than
91% of dolphin and whale samples tested exceed one or two pollutants. Other
research shows similar results that the dolphin meat are dangerous to mother and
fetus. And if mother is breastfeeding the child after consuming dolphin meat,
then the child also encounters danger. Louise (f): Some
new research as well, Supreme Master, is that the mercury levels can actually
affect fertility too. Supreme Master Ching Hai : Some
Japanese scientists, the one who were involved in this Japanese project, stated
that these products should be taken off the shelves immediately. And Dr. Palombi
of Harvard University gave the same advice to the Japanese government - that
they should ban dolphin fishing and they should ban dolphin meat selling in
the market.Louise (f): Speaking of fishing, Supreme
Master, I think we'll move on to the overfishing. As fishing fleets expanded
through the late 1980s and as fish finding and harvesting technologies became
more efficient, the world's fishes have systematically gone after their catch at
greater depths and in more remote waters. Over the past 50 years, the
number of large predatory fish in the oceans has dropped by a startling 90%.
And according to the UN Food and Agricultural Organization, the 4 million
vessels that are scouring the world waters are at, or exceeding, the sustainable
yields of three-quarters of all oceanic fisheries. Master Ching Hai, if we keep
on this path, there will be nothing left in the sea. How can we stop this
nonsensical destruction of the only sea that we have?Supreme
Master Ching Hai : We have to stop it somehow. Just stop the fishing.
The government has to forbid fishing because it's too important to our survival
to delay any further. Not only is there overfishing and depleting of the marine
life, but there is also side killing. Like when the commercial long liners go
fishing, they normally target swordfish but then they're killing tens of
thousands of sea turtles, by the way, and hundreds of thousands of sea birds and
millions of sharks every year. This accidental killing is about 25% extra of
all global catch. In the New York Times on November 2006, there is an article
that says: "Global collapse of fish species." will each," we read, like,
Experts predicted that, "in its present pace more and more species will vanish
and the global marine ecosystem will collapse, ." possibly in mid-century. There
is more to this research. Please refer to the websites that we will provide for
further reference. To stop this destructive practice of fishing, the solution is
vegetarian diet, no fishy stuff in our meals. The sea offers us plenty of
better food choices; the wide varieties of super healthy and nutritious sea
plants. We can even live on it forever. We must protect a living and healthy
sea, as it relates to our living and healthy self. I think we cannot live
without the sea. Summer, imagine you have no beach to go, just to think about
that. Supreme Master Ching Hai : If the sea is polluted
and dead in some way, where would you go?Louise (f):
It's so true. Supreme Master Ching Hai, as recent converts, both myself and the
Sandman, we would like to talk a little about health and the vegetarian diet as
you just mentioned. Supreme Master Ching Hai : You mean
in the nutritional value? Louise (f): Yes.
Supreme Master Ching Hai : You see, we can always be
assured that this peaceful diet is more than sound and for all around healthy
and intelligent life. Evidences are plenty from all aspects: physically,
mentally, emotionally. Here is some excerpt from the position paper on vegetarian diet published in the Journal
of the American Dietetic Association, June 2003. It is said: "It is the position
of the American Dietetic Association and dieticians of Canada that appropriately
planned vegetarian diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate and provide
health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Vegetarians
have lower body mass indices (BMI) than non-vegetarians, lower rate of death
from heart disease, lower blood cholesterol, lower blood pressure, lower rate of
hypertension, as well Type 2 diabetes, prostate and colon cancer even.
Vegetarian diet offers lots of nutritional benefit including high levels of
fiber, magnesium, potassium, folates and antioxidants." etc., etc. "Vegetarian
or vegan diet can meet all current recommendations of vital nutrients. Thus, the
well-planned vegetarian and vegan diet are appropriate for all stages of life,
including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood and adolescence." We will
give you some websites for further detailed information concerning this
Louise (f):
Excellent! We will post that up on our own website for listeners to
check out. That kind of leads on to the next question, Supreme Master, that many
people are concerned they won't be able to meet their nutritional needs on a
plant-based vegan or vegetarian diet. How could we be assured that a vegetarian
or vegan diet is sound?Supreme Master Ching Hai : Yes,
I think we have covered that, by the way. Anyway, nowadays, we can always go
onto all kind of nutritional websites or medical websites in order to find
out more details and more convincing evidences about the fantastic, healthy and
nutritious vegetarian diet. There is no more doubt nowadays, we can always
verify with all kinds of experts and all kinds of scientific evidences all
point out that vegetarian diet is the best, the one and only that should be for
human, at least for human. Louise (f): Supreme Master
if we look at obesity, experts are predicting that Ireland is on the verge of an
obesity crisis. Since 1990, the rate of obesity in women increased from 13% to
16% and men increased from 8% to 20%. Obesity in related issues cost the US
economy an estimated US$100 billion per year and Northern Ireland US$500 million
per year. How effective is a vegan diet in addressing obesity?
Supreme Master Ching Hai : How effective? Look at me
and look at many of our Association members. They all look very nicely
proportionate and healthy. And none of us are, are very overweight at all. Even
the one who just began vegetarian diet not long ago, they begin to balance their
weight very soon afterwards. And according to the American Dietetic Association
and dieticians of Canada again, they reviewed 20 scientific studies concerning
vegetarian and vegan diet and concluded that vegetarians were much less
likely to suffer obesity than a meat eater. And through research and
experiments, some of the doctors, like Dr. Dean
Ornish, M.D, and Dr.
Fuhrman, confirmed that a well-balanced, plant-based diets are highly
successful in taking weight off, and even keep it off! Because sometimes people
go on diet, they take some weight off and later, they gain more because they eat
more.Louise (f): I've been there, Supreme Master.
Supreme Master Ching Hai : The psychological pressure on the
people who go on diet to take weight off is tremendous. I understand that. They
cannot do it; it's against their nature. So, the vegetarian diet, you can just
eat and then you just take your weight off naturally. And they say that it's
even better than gastric bypass surgery, and also improves health and helps
prolong youthful look and vigor. So you can refer to the books like, "The Ornish Diet," "Eat to
Live," and "Eat for Health" for more details. And we will provide you, of
course, some more websites for your listeners.
Supreme Master Ching Hai : What can we do? They are
refugees, definitely. Because if we don't have global warming, then no one would
be a climate refugee, would they? So, no one would like to be a refugee, in
this case. So now, first we can help them to get back on their feet, the one who
has means and power. We must consider the refugees' status, legally, because
they are refugees by all means.And by stopping global warming, we can help
reduce this refugees issue. I ask everyone from the governments to the citizens
to please imagine if that were yourself in the refugee's situation, experiencing
all these troubles, - insecurities, hunger, lacking all comfort, humiliation,
undignified situation, uncertain of the morrows of your future and the future of
your helpless children. Just imagine it. Then try to solve this tragedy by
helping in whatever way we can. And above all, and most urgently of all, be veg,
go green to save the planet, to prevent such trauma and to build a bright future
for the world, for our co-citizens. Please see the following websites that I
provide for the concerned information.Louise (f): It
seems quite clear with the FAO (UN Food and Agricultural Organization) Livestock's Long Shadow report that humankind can no longer
continue its present ourse with the consumption of animal products. The
facts are there for us all to see. How can people get to see and research the
findings of the FAO? Do the general public have direct access to this
information?Supreme Master Ching Hai : Yes, we can. We
can go to FAO.org and also SupremeMasterTV.com, and I'm sure that there are many more, to
download the reports. We will provide all other the websites also for you. The
FAO also estimates that an annual funding increase of US$24 billion to ease the
world hunger will be repaid fivefold in increased productivities in income in
return. And according to UNICEF, every 2.3 seconds a child dies from malnutrition, while 90% of
the world's soy and 50% of the world's grain and 85% of the world's corn are fed
to livestock. And they keep breeding more and more. 25,000 people are killed
by hunger every day, more than war and AIDS and all the diseases combined. Of
course, we will give you more websites for detailed information.
Supreme Master Ching Hai : It's very
sad. It's very sad, Madame, very sad! We have to change. We have to change this
lifestyle of our world; we have to change, otherwise we're not human beings, we
have to have compassion for othersLouise (f): Supreme
Master, we never have long enough to speak with you. But just quickly, I'm just
going to move to bees. In order for us to have fruits and vegetables, the
plants, crops and flowers must be pollinated. Without bees, 80% of fruits and
vegetables will disappear. Recently, the bee population has been reduced dramatically across the US and
Europe. What do you think is the cause of this and what can we do to keep our
bee population alive and healthy?Supreme Master Ching Hai :
By using organic farming and eating organic food, we will help the bee
population. It's reported that there are several causes for the bee's decline,
like genetically modified crops, chemical pesticides, and other spray substances
for plants. Climate changes also affects the environmentally sensitive and
fragile bees. References can be found from the recent German journal Der
Spiegel. Also, there's a report by Dr. Ricarda Steinbrecher, the scientist of
Pesticide Action Network Asia and the Pacific and the director of EcoNexus UK,
or from the Soy Soil Association, UK. The pesticide neonicotinoids are banned by
some EU (European Union) countries and may be banned throughout the EU
(European Union) in the near future by vote, to protect public safety and
wildlife from these dangerous chemicals, as Peter Melchett, director of the Soy
Soil Association stated. I will provide more websites for you.

Jennifer Garner Spends the Day With Her Ballerina Following an Appearance on Ellen
Jennifer Garner escorted Violet Affleck to an afternoon ballet class in LA yesterday. Violet and her little sister Seraphina were among the topics recently discussed during Jen's interview with Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen asked Jen about her upcoming projects, excitement over her third pregnancy, and the creative baby names Violet and Seraphina have been tossing around. According to Jen, the girls are hoping to play a role in naming their new brother or sister and are fond of names like Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck. As for Jen, she's excited about the idea of a new baby, though Jen admits having a boy would be "weird" since she comes from a family of three girls.

Genetic Rounds by Dr. Robert Marion
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted August 17, 2009 in Books About DNA
SNP this, GWAS that. The news abounds with new genes for cancer, autism, and even sleep while genetic technology races ahead towards the $1000 genome sequence (currently down to $50,000).
Before it was possible to study the genetics of complex diseases on a genome-wide scale, most talk of genetic diseases looked at those caused by single gene mutations or chromosomal abnormalities. Taking a step back to what might appear to be simpler times, medical geneticist Dr. Robert Marion's new book, Genetic Rounds, is due out in October.
But even if the genetic basis of diseases such as mucopolysaccharidoses, trisomy 13, acute intermittent porphyria, and spinal muscular atrophy might have been easier to elucidate, that doesn't mean diagnosing or treating the patients is any easier. In Genetic Rounds, Dr. Marion explains the causes and symptoms of various genetic diseases in clear, easy-to-understand language (as is his forte – see Was George Washington Really the Father of Our Country?: A Clinical Geneticist Looks at World History).
As has been the case for its entire history, most of the practice of medical genetics comes down to the clinician sitting in the clinic with the family, listening to the history, performing the physical exam, and trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
Even more enlightening, Dr. Marion reflects on his encounters with the children affected by these devastating illnesses and their families who must cope with the stress involved in taking care of them. I was especially touched by his holistic and empathetic approach as a physician. Any of us who've been fortunate enough to have had a doctor who cared about us beyond our acute symptoms and the few minutes in their clinic knows what a rare gift that is.
Many of the essays included in the book were previously published in Discover magazine and The American Journal of Medical Genetics among others. Dr. Marion updates a number of them with news on how the patient and family are doing as well as how his views and feelings changed over the years. Although a couple of essays seem a little out of place in a book about genetic diseases, I still found them all very enjoyable. Genetic Rounds is a must-read for anyone with a connection to genetics and would be an intriguing read for anyone with a passing interest as well.
This week, I will be posting a multi-part interview with Dr. Robert Marion. He is as nice via email as he seems in the book. If you've ever had a chance to meet him, please share your story in the comments!

When I was a genetic counseling student, I completed one of my clinical rotations in Bob Marion's clinic at Montefiore. I remember doing rounds with him and was touched by the time he spent with each family. I recall one mother rocking her sleeping baby who was in the hospital for reasons I can't remember, but was being worked up to confirm a suspected diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. There was a group of us trailing Dr. Marion that day, a mix of residents, medical students and genetic counseling students. We listened as Dr. Marion spoke to the mother in hushed whispers, asking about how her son seemed to her that day, how her family at home was faring while she spent every moment she could at the hospital with her son. The mother seemed very optimistic and thought her son seemed to be getting better. After we left the bedside and walked down the hall, Dr. Marion briefed us on the child's history started asking us questions about the patient. There were lots of questions and suggestions about working up cystic fibrosis, and ideas about what some of the little boys test results meant. Dr. Marion stopped us cold- "No- the patient that I am talking about that needs taking care of here is the mother". Dr. Marion has always had an uncanny way of connecting to his patients-and their families. I recommend his book "The Boy Who Felt No Pain," one of his first books that reiterates this same theme and demonstates his compassion for his patients while providing a unique view into what it is like to live with an inherited syndrome. I can't wait to read his new one!

Cloud storage was the word of the moment for a while, and it seemed only a matter of time before someone mentioned the idea of Cloud Hosting. The time is now upon us and people really need to sit back and pay attention, as this one is going to break the mold.
In effect, cloud storage, or even hosting, is the idea of many computers using many different free floating storage methods to transfer and store data. The main players in the search engine industry are already on board and run many of their sites' functions from cloud servers. For a business, it can eradicate any need to build or hire servers, as they can simply set everything up on the cloud. The one side of this idea is that no one seems to spend much time dwelling on the security issues involved. In the end, there are several computers all accessing the same cloud from several different locations accessing data and sites. Therefore, there must surely be some security breaches from time to time, right? Wrong.
Reputable cloud hosting providers have done their research and know that security is one of the biggest concerns for many corporations. It would seem an absurd idea that so many large companies would migrate to such a service if the security was not put in place. Granted there are instances of security breaches, but you will normally find that these are on low scale operations that are simply out to make a quick bit of cash with no concern for actually providing a service to their clients. This is just one of those pitfalls that a company must avoid. Although there is often a higher cost involved with buying a cloud hosting service, the extra money is what goes into protecting valuable data. Cloud hosting is in its infancy when compared to many of today's modern technologies. What we see now is only the tip of an extremely large iceberg waiting below the surface to be discovered.
The potential for this kind of technology has all but been discovered, and it seems that more and more people are willing to put their money where their mouth is by going the cloud hosting route. The costs of data transfer is normally calculated by the provider on a time used per application basis, and while the technology is still new, it could become costly for large application users. With time, the technology will become cheaper to employ, but for now, the smaller web hosts of the world have a platform that they can afford to reach the masses. With a good amount of research, a decent provider can be found in no time at all.

A small cheer has gone up throughout Wisconsin as there are finally reports that Brett Favre has informed the Minnesota Vikings and Brad Childress that he plans to stay retired.
As a Packer fan myself, I didn't really care. I just wanted the drama to be over. If he was a Viking, he didn't particularly scare me at this point. If this report is true and holds, then the damage done to his legacy will be relatively minimal in my opinion.
I first suspected this would be the decision when a video was released this morning of Brad Childress walking into his office in Eden Prarie, MN at 7 a.m. Seeing as no one thought he was flying down to Mississippi until yesterday afternoon, I was guessing the trip didn't happen. It is not likely for him to fly down, grab a bite to eat and fly back two hours later. According to the post above, a phone conversation was held yesterday and Favre expressed his interest to remain retired. Probably he's more interested in playing slots like many others these days as the new online Playtech casino software really delivers a great time between the walls.
The decision may have been because one of four things in my estimation:
– Childress was emphatic that he would require full off-season program participation.
– Favre's arm just isn't healthy enough and won't be or he doesn't want surgery
– Favre realized what he was doing to his (once) good name and wanted to stop
– The drive simply isn't there to enter a new setting, etc… after all, he was a total recluse in New York.
My guess is it was a combination of some or all of the above. But as always, take this report and news with a grain of salt because he may have a contract signed tomorrow.
Favre Update (It sucks, but it's something football related)
In the story related to the man who seemingly won't go away (even though everyone wants him to, but still has fun watching him play, even if it means John Madden will un-retire – a theory of mine) the Minnesota Vikings are still "interested" in Brett Favre. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4158367
While Favre may hold all of the passing records, even more impressive is his ability to create drama in the post-draft, pre-training camp period of football.
Personally, I think he needs to go away. His right arm clearly isn't the same as it was in 2007 when he led Green Bay to the NFC Championship Game. His play clearly dropped off at the end of 2008 as the Jets went from 8-3 to missing the playoffs, laregely in part due to inconsistent play from Brett Favre (and somewhat due to Eric Mangini's change to a more conservative defense).
My question to Brett would be this: What more do you have to play for? The only major passing record you don't have is the single season yards mark, which you won't get with your arm in the shape it is. You've got a Super Bowl ring, the consecutive starts streak, and you're the only player who could make John Madden spontaneously combust if you played yourself in an 11-on-11 football game. People won't care that your last play left you looking like the picture above (thank you Yeremiah Bell).
People will remember the crazy scrambles, the cannon throws, the sprint down the field during the Super Bowl, the Monday night game against Oakland, and the class you played the game with. Leave the media circus to T.O. and ride into the sunset. You've done everything and more that a QB could want to accomplish. You've done things that Marino, Elway, Montana, and Unitas couldn't, and things that Manning, Brady, Roethlisberger, and McNabb won't. Again, what more could you possibly play for?

The Kennedy family came together when Irish-Americans Joseph Kennedy Sr. and Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald married. The family has since become known for their contribution to politics, with the election of John F. Kennedy in 1960, to their glamorous lifestyle with Jackie Onassis and the famous "Kennedy Compound" in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. Along with the glamour, came the tragedies, including the plane crash that killed John F. Kennedy Jr., as well as the assassination of his father JFK.
It is hard to deny the iconic status of the Kennedy family leading to our fascination of this All-American family that continues today. We pulled together some of our favorite baby names inspired by the Kennedy family.
The most obvious choice for a name after this iconic family is the name Kennedy. This name is actually classified as a baby boy name of Irish origin that means "helmeted."
It is interesting to note, however, that Kennedy is actually a more popular name for baby girls! It has been steadily moving up the charts, with it ranked 139 on the Social Security Administration's list of popular baby names in 2000 — and has moved up to number 90 on the most recent list.
The alternative spelling of Kennedi is ranked at number 445.
These Kennedy-inspired baby girl names are classic names perfect for your daughter:
These classic boy baby names are strong and All-American:
You can also consider the cool name Fitzgerald, which is JFK's mother's maiden name. Fitzgerald is an Irish name which means, "mighty spearholder's son."
The Kennedy family continues to grow, with many of the fifth generation kids having four or five kids each!
Conor, the son of Robert Kennedy, has been in the news lately for dating Taylor Swift. The name Conor is an Irish name, as are many of the Kennedy names as a nod to their heritage.

There is no way, by looking at this new Victorinox Swiss-Army utility knife, that you'd even remotely guess the presence of a capacious 256GB SSD inside. Looks can be deceiving though, and yes; this is a 256GB SSD compressed to the size of a thumb drive. And no, it isn't just any flash drive.
To start with, this tiny SSD lists support for both USB 2.0 and eSATA. It does puzzle me though, that USB 3.0 is not used instead, with a premium product offering this level of transfer speed. The flash drive comes with a 32-bit processor onboard for hardware error correction, dynamic power management, and a software suite to set up things like backups, synchronisation and a password manager.
The specifications also mention an e-paper display, for labelling of the flash drive, as well as a whole suite of security implementations including data encryption. For those who require less amounts of storage (at a presumably lesser price), capacities of 64GB and 128GB will also be available. As for the 'knife' part of utility knife, this Swiss-Army knife is equipped the whole host of usual, er, knives. It also comes with a nail file and screwdriver.
Pricing has yet to be released on this cool new gadget.

"The Joke's on You, Jason Kidd" Photo Credit: Icon SMI
A recent commenter suggested we compile our favorite articles from this past NBA season and I thought:
what a great way to make an easy filler post what a great way to expose our newer readers to some of our best content from the NBA regular season. It's been a quiet couple of days in the league with series ending in predictable fashion and fans gearing up for the kickoff of the second round this Saturday. Things should really heat up this weekend, and we'll be rolling out our series previews shortly, but in the meantime enjoy some of our most popular and controversial content from the last six months:
ETB's NBA Prediction-O-Rama: Before the season started, and long before the Miami implosion, the Pau Gasol Trade and the meteoric rise of Chris Paul we put ourselves on the line with our bold and daring picks for Individual Awards, Team Awards, Gut Feelings and the all-important Over/Unders.
Some of these picks look pretty good (KG for Defensive POY, Al Jefferson for breakout PF, Dwyane Wade to have a bust season, Ronnie Brewer to bust out, Miami to miss the postseason)…and some don't (Yao Ming will finally stay healthy, Chicago to win the Central, Dallas to win it all, expecting 68+ games from Gilbert). Hey, hindsight is always 20/20.
That's a Wrap, Folks: Summing Up the 2007-08 NBA Regular Season In 36 Lists: And after all the dust had settled in the regular season, ETB dished and swished a summary of the 2007-08 NBA season with 36 styling and profiling lists that are sure to have you movin' and groovin'. It's all you need to know about who was hustling and muscling, bounding and astounding, stumbling and bumbling, and spinning and winning in the regular season.
Does Anybody in NBA History Better Personify "Petulance" than Shaquille O'Neal?: Almost anybody who's even somewhat plugged into Western culture knows who Shaquille O'Neal is. He remains bigger than life and sometimes bigger than the game that made him famous. Nobody can take away or diminish his significant accomplishments. But why does he still rarely give credit to an opponent that bests him? Why is he still considered just a big, lovable goof? And why does he still get a free pass from the media and basketball fans alike despite his childish, boorish, and often inappropriate behavior?
Is Two-Time MVP Steve Nash Overrated?: He's unquestionably the catalyst which has transformed Phoenix's offense into the best and most exciting in the NBA over the last four seasons. In terms of just smooth passing skills, court vision, ball-handling and pure shooting Nash is the best player in the league. I'm not taking any of that away from him. The fact remains, however: on the defensive end of the end of the floor Steve Nash is one of the worst liabilities in the league.
We're Not Leaving the House Until You Change: 20 Fugly Items From the NBA Store: Perhaps the NBA Powers That Be should consider exercising a little quality control when it comes to the items for sale in the NBA.com Store. I know, the piles of wasted stitching and fabric would be enough to make even the most callous sweatshop driver weep. But there comes a time when you just have to admit that you're never going to sell any of those goddamn plush dinosaur hats…
Plenty more NBA goodness from the ETB vault after the jump…
Tweaking the NBA Rules: Six Ideas to Make The League Even Better: Counting charges drawn as steals, de-emphasizing free-throw shooting at the end of close games, stopping flopping, The Kevin McHale Rule, and more.
Production Budget Low: A Video Homage to Local Market NBA Commercials: Trainwreck. That's what happens nine times out of ten when you mix a professional athlete, a local product/service, and a low-production budget for a commercial. We understand that associating one's celebrity status with a given brand has proven successful over the years, but sometimes the local ad guys should consider leaving such endeavors to the Nikes and Pepsis of the world.
Late-Season Revelations: Seven Guys Who Didn't Emerge Until After the All-Star Break: Singing the praises of Rodney Stuckey, Ramon Sessions, J.R. Smith, Louis Scola, Al Thornton and others for busting out in the season's second half.
The NBA's Seven Most Improved Players: Hedo Turkoglu took home the MIP award this season, and he was certainly among the most improved. Only one player each season is ultimately recognized for taking his game to new levels, but for this piece we were not as much interested in picking the most improved player, but simply breaking down seven guys who've made significant strides compared to previous campaigns.
Quiet Heroics: The NBA's Best Glue Players: It's about the guys who don't take all the shots, don't get hyped as one of their team's best players and often aren't even considered for the All Star team — and yet they manage to be pivotal in a good team's performance each night with hustle, defense, leadership, selfless play, grit and all-around games that complement the big scorers and big names on their squad.
This Time It's Personal: The NBA's Top Twelve Comeback Players of the Year: The NBA doesn't technically have a Comeback Player of the Year award anymore, but we weren't going to let that stop us from recognizing these dozen gamers who returned from the void to produce solid seasons for their respective teams. In order to be considered for this list each player had to fulfill two criteria: 1) they had to have been a good, or at least useful, player at some point in the past and 2) they had to be coming off one or more bad seasons as the result of either a serious injury or a sub-par performance.
The Case for Kobe: Why Kobe Bean Bryant Deserves the NBA MVP Award: We've come a long way since the contentious summer in Los Angeles when most NBA observers thought there was a slim chance that Kobe Bryant would finish this season in a Lakers jersey. Los Angeles has gone from the graveyard of Bryant's talent, a place where his considerable skills would waste away, to potential favorites to win the NBA title.
Fading Fast: Five NBA Players Whose Game Fell Off a Cliff During the 2007-08 Season: What the hell happened to Kirk Hinrich, Ben Wallace, Stephon Marbury, Mike James and Eddy Curry?
Untapped Potential: Ten NBA Players We Want to See on the Court More Often: Back in January we listed some of our favorite players who simply weren't getting enough playing time. Some of them, like J.R. Smith and Louis Williams, got a boost in minutes down the stretch. We're still left wondering what others like Sean Williams, Gerald Green, Craig Smith and Rodney Carney could do with a little more tick.
ETB's 100% Spectacular Vernacular Midseason NBA Award Program Special for Big News Basketball Stars Today: Yes, we're fond of lists here at ETB. For All Star week we kicked off the festivities with a very special awards… special. We celebrated the holiday by picking some of the best, worst and most surprising stories in the season's first half, letting you know which players to avoid at the nightclub and defining that enigma wrapped in a fortune cookie known as Stephon Marbury. A joint venture of Matsumura Fishworks and Tamaribuchi Heavy Manufacturing Concern.
Room for Improvement: Ten NBA Players Poised for Better Things Down the Stretch: In the middle of February we pulled out our crystal ball(s) and tried to predict who would blow up in the later stages of the regular season. We're pleased with the predictions on Al Thornton, Hakim Warrick, Brandon Bass, Randy Foye and the young Sixers. We'll take a mulligan on the Kirk Hinrich and Dorell Wright selections.
Protecting the Basket: The NBA's Eight Absolute Best Guardians of the Rim: ETB took a day to honor the best shot-blockers and interior defenders in the league. Marcus Camby, Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, Josh Smith and Andrei Kirilenko were slam dunks. Some of the other selections proved a little more controversial.
Jason Kidd, the Newest Dallas Maverick?: We hate to say "I told you so" … wait a minute, nevermind, we love to say "I told you do." So after the Maverick's second consecutive embarrassing loss in the first round, we told you so Dallas. It's obvious the rangy, young Devin Harris would have had a lot more success staying in front of Chris Paul.

text: The annual deer hunt is getting under way as Maine residents take to the woods amid optimism there will be more opportunities to bag a whitetail this season. Firearms season for licensed Maine hunters who are residents begins on Saturday, and nonresident hunters can join the hunt beginning Monday. The season ends for all Nov. 24, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Hunters are permitted to take one antlered deer annually in Maine, while hunters with an any-deer permit are allowed to take either one antlered deer or one antlerless deer. Hunters are hoping that the combination of the past year's mild winter and early spring improved conditions to bolster Maine's deer herd.

Alien Abduction(s) of Primitive Women?
Jose Caravaca, our Spanish colleague, conjectures that some of the images found in the rock paintings of Tassili (above/below) indicate scenes of abduction by, we assume, extraterrestrial visitors.
The paintings below, he envisions, show women being led to a "saucer" or circular craft:
This painting (below), from Tassili, is often cited by Ancient Astronaut theorists as an image of a space-helmeted alien being from outside the Earth:
And in the yellow painting above, one sees that same "helmet" on a woman being taken somewhere.
Were the helmets needed for travel outside the Earth's atmosphere?
Were the helmets actually space helmets? Or part of primitive ritual garb?
Senor Caravaca's view is interesting, but is there another explanation for the images?
We don't find an anthropological thesis exactly.
Dr. Giorgio Gualco, in the article used by Josh Sordelet, in his posting about Tassili a few days ago, suggests that the paintings are "characterized by human figures with round heads, often bearing headdresses of horns or feathers."
Dr. Gualco is saying the depictions are caricatures of adornment, but the Tassili paintings didn't caricature the animals presented, or anything else.
The humans pictured are (artistically) stylized, but not to a degree that they are unrecognizable as human beings. The women's breasts are notable and their femininity compared to pictures of men is obvious.
So why would the painters create headdresses (helmets!) that are removed from their actuality; that is, why helmets that are "caricatured" when everything else isn't?
Jose Caravaca's keen eye may have found something -- something to support AA theory and Alien Abduction stories also.
