Well Mrs. Tac has been talking about upgrading from her 238 for a bit now. We have had several webcam conversations and I would send her pics and specs of different guns that she may like. She has a choice of virtually every type of handgun and holster combo at the house and has no problem with handling any of the handguns including my SA TRP and BHP which have two of the stoutest recoil springs of any of my handguns.
After a few talks she decided to stick with something she knew and liked. The house gun is a M&P full size, .45 with a threaded barrel, 13 round extended mags and weapon mounted light. As stated she has no problem with manipulating the weapon and shoots it very well so the choice of sticking with the M&P platform was obvious except for caliber which she wanted 9mm.
Since this would be her carry gun the choices were the M&P 9mm compact or the Shield. After talking about it the Shield won out with it's smaller grip and overall size.
I also wanted her to have a range gun to train with. Full size guns are much easier to shoot and train with in range sessions or classes with high round counts. I found a full size M&P 9mm in a range kit that came with a Blade Tech Holster and mag pouch with three mags and in Flat Dark Earth to boot, can't beat that.
I am a big fan of having a .22 equivalent of any firearm. It makes it much easier to teach the basics and it is a heck of a lot cheaper to shoot besides this also allows the kids to be able to learn on a .22 platform until the become proficeint enough for a duty type caliber. Except for the added thumb safety controls are the same on all three guns.
Once she fires the Shield for a bit she can decide if she likes the stock sights or something different.

ITworld.com –
The recent epidemic of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks against major e-commerce sites has put a chill in the bones of many network administrators. The thought of a crippling blow being struck against infrastructure that you're responsible for is enough to give even the most hardened network manager the chilblains.
On the surface there doesn't seem to be much anyone can do to prevent these attacks. The traffic originates from many different sources and the return IP addresses are usually forged and lead investigators to non-existent hosts. And once the attack begins, the barrage of bogus data is so intense that most monitoring systems are overwhelmed.
Take heart. Despite the seemingly grim outlook, there are some steps that you can take that will make dealing with DoS attacks easier.
Prior to launching an attack, a competent military commander will spend a significant amount of time gathering intelligence. Network intruders are no different. A well-planned DoS attack takes advantages of weak spots in the target network. How do the "black hats" find the weak spots? They probe your network. Detecting these first signs of an impending attack can make the difference between being a victim or a hero.
The most important step you can take is to install a probe, or sensor, between the Internet wilderness and your enterprise network. Having a probe in place won't prevent a DoS attack from being launched against you but it will allow you to get a whiff of those first tentative knocks on your door. You might just get enough warning to be able to secure critical systems.
While there are many commercial sensor systems on the market they tend to be expensive, complicated to install and suffer from "black box" disease; you are dependent on the detection modules supplied by the vendor. Building your own sensor is relatively straightforward, very cost-effective -- you probably already own the parts -- and allows you to customize coverage for your site. We'll show you how to build one in our next column.
Until then, check out these useful packet analysis tools. We'll be using this software as part of our homebrew probe:
- Snort,, a packet sniffer/logger that can be used as a lightweight network intrusion detection system
- Tcpdump, a protocol packet capture and dumper program, and
- Iptraf, a network monitoring utility for IP networks.

We compared the transplacental-transmission ability of Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum in cattle. One uninfected pregnant heifer served as control, while three were inoculated with N. caninum K9WA strain and four with T. gondii RH strain at their midgestational period. Both infected groups showed clinical signs and antibodies either to N. caninum or T. gondii, while the control animal was normal. Two (50%) Toxoplasma dams aborted on days 6 and 11 postinoculation. T. gondii tachyzoites were found in various organs of those dams that had abortions but not in their fetuses. Two Neospora dams did not abort but gave birth to subclinically infected calves. The remaining two Toxoplasma dams and one from Neospora group became recumbent. Those two dams and their fetuses showed disseminated Toxoplasma DNA, but no Neospora DNA was found. Our findings suggest that maternal toxoplasmosis could be a cause of abortion and congenital toxoplasmosis in cattle, especially when they are infected by virulent strains.

Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
Here's the video footage taken from behind closed doors in the Skyloft at the MGM Grand in Vega, where Jeff Walker hosted the Product Launch Formula top partners networking event. Look for 30 second interviews with Brian Clark, Tom Beal and Michael Cheney, along with scenes from inside the Skyloft.
Back in February I received the fantastic news that I had just scrapped in as a top 25 affiliate for the release of Product Launch Formula (PLF) 2.0 by Jeff Walker (again, a really big thanks to everyone currently studying PLF who purchased through me and I hope you are enjoying the iRiver bonus I sent too!).
Jeff and his brother Jon decided to run a party/networking/mastermind event only for the top affiliates and this was the first time I qualified for such an invitation-only event. I was very excited at the prospect of meeting many of the guys I follow and look to as mentors in the Internet marketing world.
Prior to this event I had only been to one Internet marketing conference, Rich Schefren's Strategic Profits seminar held February 2007 in Florida. There I met Rich and Mike Filsaime and many people like me, running Internet businesses. I had spoken to Jeff and Jon Walker on teleconference calls and through Skype, but this was my first face-to-face meeting.
Besides Rich, Mike, Jeff and John, I was excited to see that Brian Clark from Copyblogger.com would be coming too (the only other "pure" blogger) as well as Tom Ham, Tom Beal, Colette Marshall, Willie Crawford, Jeff Dedrick, Michael Cheney, John Carlton, Shawn Casey, Ray Edwards, Howie Schwartz and more experts from the Internet marketing world. My only disappointment was that Frank Kern was not making the trip down to Vegas as I'd really like to meet my fellow long haired Internet marketer.
The event started at 1pm and included an afternoon in a Skyloft, which is an uber-expensive ($1,000 a night) apartment style hotel room in the MGM Grand hotel on the Vegas Strip and concluded with dinner at Craftsteak, a fancy steak restaurant located inside the hotel.
I left my hotel room and went down to the VIP area where they have special private elevators to access the Skylofts and immediately bumped into Rich Schefren who was chatting to Colette Marshall, whom I had never met. Rich introduced me and we chatted briefly until Michael Cheney showed up. By then it was nearly 1pm so we headed upstairs to the Skyloft.
Jeff and Jon Walker greeted us at the door and gave us a tour around the Skyloft before we joined the main crowd that had already arrived. I started shaking hands with people I knew, some I didn't know and some I didn't realize I did know (don't you hate it when someone's Twitter profile photo doesn't quite match their real life face – Hi Brian!).
Jeff let us chat for a while, then climbed the stair case and gave a short but sweet thank you and introductions speech so everyone knew who everyone else was (you can see the very start of this speech in the video – apologies for the shaky camera work, it was all a bit much to take in at once).
The rest of the afternoon was a blur. I spoke to just about everyone in attendance, learned all kinds of great stuff and some insider "secrets" about what people are working on, some of which I was asked not to blog about 🙁 .
Some of you reading this might wonder what these guys and girls are like, since most of them run million dollar businesses. You might also wonder if I was a bit awestruck by being around people I admire.
I learned a long time ago that people are just people, and while there are certainly types of people who wield a lot of power and influence, at their heart they are still people. I might be nervous around the president or a movie star, but entering a room full of Internet marketers is like entering a room full of your best friends, who all share a passion for the same thing. I was more excited than I was nervous.
Nearly every Internet marketer I've met has been extremely friendly and down to earth. Some of them have ADD type personalities and can talk your ear off, moving from subject to subject in quick succession (hi Rich and Howie), while others are more laid back.
You can see the drive for success in each and every person at the event. If you were to ask me what makes them more successful than the average person, it's because they translate that drive into outcomes, and then they do it again and again.
Most conversations would move from casual "where do you live?" and "what's the weather like there?", to how your last launch went to how you can improve on some aspect of your business. Some people went deliberately looking for a specific type of advice, for example John Carlton sought blogging tips from Brian Clark since they both exist in similar markets (copywriting) and John wants to improve his blog.
In my case I did a lot of listening as I often do and focused on meeting as many people as I could. I didn't have an agenda beyond getting face time with people – I think it's more important to make friends than try and convince people to promote your next product.
I'm not a wine drinker and as I sat down to my table I was surprised when only two people wanted wine – Jeff Walker on my left and Tom Ham from StomperNet, who was clearly keen to drink some wine. Mike Filsaime and his wife passed on the wine, as did Howie Schwartz (recently bought out and employed by StomperNet) who is a vegetarian.
The restaurant had cornered us off in a private, open doors room with four big tables for the 30 or so Internet marketers and a couple of better halves that came for the dinner. The food was heavy meat focused, including quail, prawns and a choice of steak or fish, or in my case, the pork chop from the menu. All fine food and what you would expect from an upper class restaurant ($25-$250 steaks – the Japanese Wagyu taking the crown as most expensive – Aussie beef was second at $195, woohoo!).
We chatted across all kinds of topics, from politics, to health care and back to internet launches. It was a great meal and I left feeling very stuffed.
All in all it was a great day. I enjoyed the conversation the most – it really is nice to be with people who do similar things to what you do and share the same interests. As any person who works a home business knows, sometimes you exist in a solitary world because the people around you do not share your experiences or motivations. I encourage you to attend any events you get the opportunity to go to, if just to meet with like minded individuals.
If you haven't yet watched the video, please scroll back up and click the play button to catch six minutes of behind-the-scenes footage and interviews I recorded during the day.
I've got more video from the rest of my stay in Vegas, so I may compile one more video for the blog, including a look at red rock canyon and my one and only casino bet. I've also got a few days in Chicago now before heading back to Toronto, and I'll no doubt take some more video footage.

Yaro Starak
Leaving Las Vegas
And not a woman amongst them…
Whoops – my bad. One.
Yes, I noticed that as well Lisa!! Where are all the women internet marketers? Thanks Yaro for the 'insider' view of this elite group. It makes me even more determined that, one day ……
I too join in, in this "alas, where are the ladies?" chorus. Cannot let the side down ladies. Let us get there next year.
"I learned a long time ago that people are just people, and while there are certainly types of people who wield a lot of power and influence, at their heart they are still people."
Yep, always worth remembering! Years ago I was an English teacher in Rome and got a nice little private contract with one of the leading lawyers of the city. He could read English without any problems, but when it came to SPEAKING he was so out of his element that he trembled. I think I learnt more from those lessons than he did!!
David Hurley
Yes ladies, there is definitely a skew in the IM world that needs fixing – big time. I for one would love to see more woman enter the top tier of affiliate standings and product launches, etc.
"I learned a long time ago that people are just people, and while there are certainly types of people who wield a lot of power and influence, at their heart they are still people."
I agree, too!
Hey Yaro — I really enjoyed this post – not only an interesting insight into the world of IM but also human nature as well.
Not sure why the men seem to be so dominant in the IM scene — maybe it has something to do with guys being a lot more geeky and into computers in their formative years? 🙂
$250 steak?! That food takes my whole month income online to buy 😛
Anyway, you are right mentioning that millionaires are just like the peep next door – moreover, more and more millionaires does live like normal people these days – a-man-sitting-on-comfy-chair-with-Cuban-cigar image is already long gone… 😀 That image belongs only to Vito Corleone :))
Interesting post, I know a couple of millionaires, they go to work, and come home to their kids, go to bed early and go to work in the morning again. Just like everyone else! They actually work harder sometimes than others, because they work for themselves.
Hey Yaro
I concur…
People are just people…I mean, what else would they be? LOL! Just kidding.
Seriously though, I found exactly the same thing. When I interviewed some of the world's top internet marketers, I was just amazed at how approachable and down to earth they were.
They all struck me as people who know what they want, and who have taken massive action to get it too.
Glad to see a few familiar faces there at the event.
Talk to you soon!
Funny that , people are just people. Many successful friends of mine seem to be just very ordinary people . But some things they have in common are ;
Good sense of humor . Easy to approach .
Genuine caring attitude . Show they care about what you want to achieve .
Don't over complicate their business workload . Leveraging very important .
Willing to share their knowledge .
Ken is one such friend , he made this video himself for his friends to learn from .
It's fun to watch your video and read your post… great way to re-live the mastermind. It was a great time, and the event definitely exceeded all my hopes and expectations. It's amazing when you put a bunch of Internet Marketers in a room – the time just flies by. We basically went from 1:00pm straight through to the end of dinner at about 11:00pm, and the conversation never slowed down one bit.
With regards to the lack of women at the event – I know MANY women who are very successful online. I celebrate their success, and love to mastermind with them. There are many women in my the formal mastermind groups that I am part of (in fact, one of those groups was founded by a woman.)
However, the invitations to this event were results-based… it was for my top JV partners. And at the end of the day, this time around there was only one woman among my top partners. Why that is, I don't know… that's just the way it was. Hopefully that will change in the near future…
Finally… Yaro, I'm really not too much of a wine drinker. But since Tom Ham was so into it and he picked out an uber-expensive bottle of wine I figured I should have a glass (especially since I was paying for it!). 🙂
These videos are great! It's like being a fly on the wall. I also love to put a face to the name. It makes you think differently about people sometimes when you're reading their blogs or newsletters, or after you purchase their products.
I wouldn't have known that was Brian from Copyblogger if it hadn't been mentioned. He doesn't look anything like his Twitter picture!
A millionaire is just another ordinary human being that has achieved financial success. 😉 There are successful women who are millionaires too (I am not talking about those that inherited the wealth, I mean those that started from scratch and built financial empires). Nice one.
I've personally met a couple of millionaires. Yea, amazingly they r much more approachable than many other so-called successful business or corporate people (who earns big but far fr bein a millionaire..)
I guess since they hv made it, they r not really out to prove themselves anymore. It's usually time to "give back" for them. Try asking one for help on certai topic, i'm sure most of them wld b pretty willing, say, share a little of their wealth secrets.
Cheers everyone!
…inspiring wealth into your life
Cool, I'd love to make it to a live IM event one of these days.
Part of the reason why ladies are not on the list is because they are happy making a buck, they don't want to own the bank!
Pretty neat Yaro! Always good to see the realness of all these people we read about and follow. Congrats again on cracking the top 25. Quite an elite group to be in.
This is an awesome blog! How am I supposed to learn about blogs if
all I do is read yours. There is so much interesting stuff here, that I have
been reading and looking at everything for 3 going on 4 days now.
I really enjoyed the videos and I guess I really am learning quite a bit
about blogging aren't I.
I can't wait until I can actually buy your course I know that I will learn so
much since I really am a newbie at this.
Thanks for just being here so that I have someplace I can get a real
education on blogging. I see so many amateur sites that aren't very
interesting and yours is a breath of fresh air.
As you said at the end of your about page having patience really is
a bitch.
Bye for now
I don't know Yaro, but whenever I see any of these profiles, the word scam comes to my mind. But since you are talking about them, I am starting to wonder if there is value in them.
I too join in, in this "alas, where are the ladies?" chorus. Cannot let the side down ladies. Let us get there next year.

I taught Charlie the difference between my left side and right side, so if I say "Left side." he'll circle around behind me and sit at my left. Or "Right side." in which he does the opposite side. You could also teach Shiloh "Gimme ten" and "Gimme five", shake a paw, other paw, back up, play dead, turn lights on or off, open the fridge and get you something and close the fridge door, spin(circle/turn), wave goodbye, leg weave, watch me, say your prayers, directed retrieve and directed jumping, roll over, fetch your slippers, food refusal, get the leash, crawl, bow, etc.
The gimme ten, gimme five, waving goodbye and turning lights on and off should be easier since he knows sit up already. Going from there was how I taught Charlie those tricks, although he's too short to reach a light. Start off with one trick until he has it down and then move on to others.

Liquid smoke is a byproduct of the charcoal industry an is considered food safe but is also a know carcinogenic. When wood is heated in an oxygen depleted environment, it first steams (this steam is collected as liquid smoke) and then chars into the graphite.We make it here in a steel drum.Scott

It's getting to the silly season we know, but today Newcastle United have been linked with Lille's Cameroon International Jean Makoun.
Jean Makoun – Cameroon International plays for Lille in France
We don't know if there is any truth in these reports but our policy during the transfer window is to at least report on each player we are linked with, in case we finally get the player.
In any case we find it interesting to see what the player may be like , and whether he may be good for the club – and there's no harm in that.
Some reports today that Newcastle United will fight with Man City for Lille's 24 year-old midfielder Jean Makoun.
Apparently Newcastle have already let the French club know of their interest for the Cameroon international, though Manchester City may still be favorites after having an initial bid turned down in January.
However, with Sven Erikksson tenure at the club probably ending this summer, a new manager will need to be brought in and that may take some time, so now is a very good time for the Tyneside club to make a move.
Makoun has played for Lille 149 times since 2001, and scored 8 goals. He turns 25 later this month and stands 5'8†tall.
Comments welcome.

Vanishing Characters
So, there you are, happily editing your MS Word document. You're in the middle of a paragraph adding in a new word here and another there, but wait, what happened to the text?
You had something like this: MS Office & Tricks
You then realized that you forgot the "Tips," so you clicked back into the sentence to add it.
Somehow, some way, you got this: MS Office Tipsicks
What's going on here?
Well, the answer is simple enough. Along the way, the Overtype function was turned on.
Yep, that's what I said, Overtype.
You can tell it's active by looking at your status bar.
See the OVR?
That's it. When the OVR is black instead of "grayed out," it means that the Overtype function is doing its "thing." That is, you're typing over (replacing) characters instead of inserting new text.
How did the Overtype function become active?
Good question.
Actually, there's a couple of possibilities.
One way is that you might have hit the Insert key on your keyboard. (It's just above the Delete key). I accidentally do this all the time, so it's quite possible that this is the case.
Another possibility is that you could have inadvertently double clicked on the OVR located in the status bar.
Well, no matter how it happened, you'll probably want to turn it back off.
All you need to do is either hit the Insert key or double click on the OVR.

[[caption-width-right:300:You know the drill.]]
->''"I am an instrument of perfection and hygiene. The enemy of decay and corruption. A dentist. And I have a lot of work to do."''
-->-- '''Dr. Feinstone'''
''The Dentist'' is a 1996 American {{horror}} {{film}} directed by Creator/BrianYuzna and written by Dennis Paoli and Stuart Gordon (the team responsible for ''Film/ReAnimator'' a decade earlier), inspired by the story of real-life dentist/serial killer Glennon Engleman. It stars Corben Bernsen, Linda Hoffman, and Ken Foree.
Dr. Alan Feinstone (Bernsen) has everything. A beautiful wife, a nice house, and a popular reputation as the neighborhood dentist. Everything is tidy and clean, just as it should be. However, things go wrong when, on the day of his wedding anniversary, Feinstone spots his wife [[CheatingWithTheMilkman having sex with the poolman]]. His world shaken to its core, Feinstone starts hallucinating at work, first believing that one of his patients has a mouthful of brown, rotting teeth, and then that another is his unfaithful wife. He is about to become every dental patient's worst nightmare...
''The Dentist'' was followed by ''The Dentist 2: Brace Yourself'' in 1998, also starring Corbin Bernsen as the eponymous doctor.
!!This film provides examples of the following tropes:
* AxCrazy: Feinstone eventually goes crazy from the weight of his SuperOCD.
%%* BigNo
%%* CreepyCleanliness
* DepravedDentist: Once Feinstone's {{Hallucinations}} start to get worse, he starts seeing his patient's teeth being in horrible condition. And this calls for extreme methods....
* {{Jawbreaker}}: Feinstone uses his equipment to force the corrupt IRS man's jaw to open further than it should, breaking it.
* JobTitle: Feinston is the dentist. According to him, the best one.
* SlashedThroat: Feinstone kills the poolboy by slicing his throat open with a knife, and continues to slice him up as the guy staggers backwards from the attacks.
* SuperOCD: Feinstone once again. His obsession with cleanliness and perfection is what drives him into insanity.
* StrappedToAnOperatingTable: Feinstone gets his revenge on his wife by binding her to the dentist's chair and mutilating the hell out of her mouth, including [[TongueTrauma cutting off her tongue]].
* TheToothHurts: As you might expect from a horror film about a DepravedDentist, there is quite a lot of this; they get pulled off and torn apart with drills.
%%* TorturePorn
%%* YourCheatingHeart
!!The sequel has examples of:
* ColdBloodedTorture: Feinstone pretty much decimates poor Bev after he finds out she knows too much.
* LargeHam: Bernsen really hams it during his character's crazy moments this time around, even.
* NailEm: A nail gun (which typically for cinema, acts like an actual gun) is present in Feinstone's practice due to the repairs being done in the upstairs. [[spoiler:Jamie uses it to get few nails into Feinstone's face in the climax, but it fails to kill him]].
* NumberedSequels
* ShapedLikeItself: "Pulling teeth is like, well...pulling teeth."
* ShowerOfAngst: After killing a patient to hide his secret, Feinstone washes the blood off from himself while berating himself.
* SurpriseParty: The townsfolk of Paradise decide to hold a suprise party for their new dentist. Feinstone, beaten and battered [[spoiler:from fighting Brooke and Jamie moments earlier]], shuffles into a dark room. The lights go on, people yell "surprise!", but the festivities quickly die out when they see the condition that he is in.
* TongueTrauma: Brooke is back, sans her tongue. And she wants to repay the favour to her husband with scissors.
* TheVoiceless: Since she's missing half of her tongue, Brooke doesn't speak.

60 Minutes just aired one of the best video segments I've seen (to date) that sheds some new light on the 700 Billion Dollar Bailout Question in regards to Wall Street:
What caused the current financial crisis?
In the segment, 60 Minutes tapped credit market expert (Jim Grant from Grant's Interest Rate Observer) to delve into a few lesser known areas of "Wall Street's Shadow Market" and explain exactly what happened to cause this financial crisis, why it happened, and the future implications of the fallout.
Grant's short answer was as poignant as it was precise:
The truth is that on Wall Street, a lot of people just weren't very good at their jobs. It's as simple as that.
Since 60 Minutes is a prime time TV show, the economics lesson is explained in layman's terms. Which is perfect for me since economics is well… somewhat complicated and very boring. That is, until you hear the figures discussed in video segment.
Not to discontinue with the "shadow like" theme the segment portrays, but I'm glad someone finally cleared up the smoke and mirrors surrounding credit default swaps with an easily understandable definition.
A credit default swap is a contract between two people, one of whom is giving insurance to the other that he will be paid in the event that a financial institution, or a financial instrument, fails. – Michael Greenberger, Law Professor, University of Maryland.
So basically, a credit default swap is a nothing but a clever rewrite for a generic insurance policy.
According to Greenberger, by simply using the word "swap" instead of "insurance", Wall Street (companies like Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, AIG, etc.) was able to sell insurance products on those infamous sub-prime mortgages. All the while, they were avoiding traditional insurance related regulations requiring an insurer to have cash reserves equivalent to the amount they were insuring.
Obviously, they didn't have the cash when the bottom fell out. And here we are!
I find "swap" to be a really powerful word. It makes me think of community swap markets, lively Sunday afternoons, trust, old-fashioned honesty. Insurance, meanwhile…you know how boring that word is. Maybe these Wall Street guys should go into marketing.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Overall with any mental health issue you have the choice to not take medication. You take the risk however of not getting the benefit that medication offers. The alternative is therapy where you could understand why you feel depressed and learn what your triggers are so you can avoid them. You learn behaviorally what to do and this helps you manage your mood. Some people do very well with therapy. It really depends on your motivation and your dedication to reducing your triggers.
I know you said you are scared but evaluate the reason you feel this way. Sometimes the trade off between your fears and the benefit of medication may outweigh each other. The choice is yours but you may discuss these with a psychiatrist. Your fears may be unfounded and this can help you make an informed decision,
If you still say that you want an alternative then therapy can be very useful. Other remedies such as natural therapies I cannot speak about because I am a therapist

II - Computer Science (Theory)
Please come to our Informational Meeting on Wednesday, March 18th to hear faculty, researchers, and grad students present on exciting research happenings at CSAIL, and how you can be a part of them! check it out!
Five members of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department of a total of eight MIT faculty have been elected to the National Academy of Engineering including Hari Balakrishnan, Sangeeta Bhatia, Anantha Chandrakasan, L. Rafael Reif and Daniela Rus. Read more.
A new cybersecurity center made possible by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation will focus on cyber security policy -- one of three new academic initiatives (also at Stanford and UC Berkeley) aimed at laying the foundations for smart, sustainable policy to deal with the growing global cyber threats. Read more.
MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) held a two day conference celebrating 50 years of computer science looking forward to the future with solutions for today's obstacles and tomorrow's solutions. Read more.
Postdoctoral associate in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) Hamed Pirsiavash has developed a new algorithm that offers significant improvements in parsing video — linearly, no matter the length, with fixed requirement for memory and reaching conclusions in search more efficiently. Read more.
Imagine being curious enough as an 11 year old — on seeing your babysitter's mysterious calculus textbook symbols — to jump grades in order to leap several years ahead in math? Scott Aaronson, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science and affiliate with the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL), has always had a way of thinking beyond -- now looking for the truths in computational complexity, and consequently influencing the way computation is perceived and executed in the future. Read more.
Professor Piotr Indyk and members of his group in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) have developed an algorithm that betters his (and Prof. Dina Katabi's) work to develop a faster than fast Fourier Transform in 2012. The new algorithm that uses the minimum possible number of samples to analyze signals has the potential to allow advances in medical devices such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) machines to scan patients.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I guess I should add that I'm about 6'4" and 180 pounds. I'm going to be riding at Whistler this trip and plan on making another trip to either Tahoe or Utah before the season is over.
First time buyer - Bindings
I guess I should start off by admitting that I'm fairly new to snowboarding. I grew up skiing, and have just gotten back in to things in the past year or so. I spent a week in Heavenly two years ago and wasted my time in West Virginia last spring break so I'm established on a board, but I'm just now buying my own gear and pushing myself. I'm going to make several trips this year, so I've decided to make the investment in my own gear.
I'm going to make several threads eventually, but my first hurdle is bindings.
I just had my birthday, and my dad ended up sending me a $100 card for Dicks. If you do'nt know Dicks is a pretty general sports store, and where I'm from (Georgia) there is absolutely no selection of physical inventory. So I have to resort to buying online.
In terms of their selection I want to try to take care of bindings before anything else since I can't try on the boots, and I'm still saving for the board.
I like the idea of Flows, so I guess I should start by asking if their as great as I hear they are. I have two friends who ride them and both love them so I would love the convenience. I don't plan on riding too hard quite yet. Mostly freeride and the beginning stages of pushing my luck in the park.
The selection of Flows on Dicks website is The Five, Flite 2s and Flite 3s.
So my question for you, buy the Flows and if so which ones? Or consider something else?

A Seriously Ambitious Plan for Green Homes
Environmentalists have long considered energy efficiency the low-hanging fruit of cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Not as sexy as solar panels, but real savings that can be achieved right now.
Here's the obstacle: few homeowners are willing to swallow the up-front cost of improvements that will only pay for themselves over time.
Now the Center for Working Families is proposing an end-run around up-front costs: set up a public-private investment fund for weatherization, and allow homeowners to pay the fund back over time from the money they've saved on their utility bills. Re-read that last sentence. It makes a lot of sense, on paper at least.
I spoke with the drafters today, who were in Washington, of all places, for the release of their white paper at the liberal Center for American Progress.
They told me the Working Families Party first approached Governor Paterson and Albany legislators last summer, to solicit their input. A spokesperson for the Governor says he's reviewing the plan, and is "on board with the goals."
If this happens on the scale WFP imagines, it will be BIG. One million homes - that's nearly one in seven. A five billion dollar fund. And fourteen thousand jobs.
Or, to put it in perspective, President Obama's huge stimulus boost to the federal home weatherization plan will reach 45,000 homes in New York. This plan would reach 22 times more homes.

Boating Days Out on the Norfolk Broads
The Norfolk Broads is one of Britain's National Parks; being the largest protected area of wetland amidst this area of outstanding natural beauty; of large open shallow broads linked by rivers and navigable waterways with the surrounding reed beds and marshes. It is truly a unique place with a wide variety of wildlife and breath-taking scenery that is waiting for you to discover next time you have a day out on the Norfolk Broads.
The Norfolk Broads area can be found east of Norwich heading via Acle up the east coast, and inland to Stalham on the Rivers Bure, Thurne and Ant and south of Norwich to Reedham, Loddon and up to Great Yarmouth on the Rivers Yare. The area can be easily reached by car, train and bus services from Norwich.
The Norfolk Broads can best be appreciated by boat. Vessels can be hired from centres such as Wroxham, Potter Heigham and Horning; catering for week long family holidays on Norfolk Broad Cruisers to small electric boats that are ideal for day trips up the river. There are also guided river trips available during the summer season from Norwich and Wroxham; offering shorter excursions for those wanting a leisurely afternoon trip. Just one the ways for you to enjoy a day out when taking a boat trip on the Norfolk Broads.

Sparky, Smokey, Snozzle, and Squirty are the valiant firepigs who keep Busytown safe. But their busy days are much more than just putting out fires. They come when Hilda drops her keys in the drain, and they help Mr. Frumble with his pickle car. It's also important that they keep the firehouse neat and clean. But, of course, putting out fires may be their most important job. Once again, Richard Scarry's trademark humor and silly picture details will enchant readers who, again and again, will want to hear the adventures of these perhaps overambitious firefighters.

Adventists believe life is more than just the accumulation of "stuff". It's about more than just surviving. It means more than simply maximising pleasure and minimising pain. We believe every life is of infinite value. Why? Because every human is miraculously crafted by God who wants us to live life to the full. What's more, He sent His Son to demonstrate true love, forgiveness and grace.

Kim Kaufman led a protest of one outside the Hilton Garden Inn early Sunday afternoon. Many of the 1,600 people headed to a Teen Challenge fundraiser likely saw her sign, but the Frenchtown resident only cared about one set of passing eyes: those of the event's keynote speaker, Sarah Palin.
"I want her to see my sign," Kaufman said, referring to a poster that read, "Real Women Don't Quit."
Kauffman had no intention of quitting, either. The main crowd of Palin protesters—about 30 in all—broke apart at 3 p.m., half an hour before the fundraising event started. By 3:30, a trio from Kalispell and one local actor were all that remained of the different groups who had organized their protests on Facebook. Even they threw in the towel as traffic slowed, leaving Kaufman and her friend Connie Grant of Clarkston, Wash., alone on the sidewalk.
Kaufman and Grant continued to shake their signs at drivers stopped at the light on Reserve Street and Howard Raser Avenue, each protester with her own goal in mind: Grant, to change at least one vote; Kaufman, to reach the woman of the hour. Their presence elicited odd stares and the occasional honk—no middle fingers, as they'd seen earlier from one man driving into the event—and allowed the women plenty of time to discuss Palin's merits.
"Just 'cause she's a redneck and kills wolves from a helicopter doesn't make her qualified," Grant said of a possible presidential bid.
And what if she doesn't run against Obama? What are her political prospects then?
"I hope zero," Kaufman responded.
The late-summer sun blazed down on the street corner, and neither Kaufman nor Grant had brought a thing to eat, drink or sit on. As Palin cracked wise about Tweeting media moles and rattled off faith- and conservative-charged one-liners for her supporters, Grant and Kaufman persisted, an unintentional juxtaposition to Palin's public image.
"I think she's a quitter," Kaufman said. "The people of the state of Alaska elected her to do a job...She's not representing the state of Alaska when she's out there spouting her own beliefs and views. You don't quit for more money."
Sometime around 5 p.m., Kaufman got a call from a friend who heard on KPAX that Palin had left the Hilton. Kaufman and Grant hadn't seen a motorcade, hadn't glimpsed a passing face that looked anything like comedian Tina Fey. So they headed home, Kaufman's objective unfulfilled. But the afternoon wasn't a total wash.
"We exercised our constitutional right," Kaufman said.
With a statement like that, even Palin would have to be proud.

I don't care really whether you're in high school, college, the NFL. I think any time you have an opportunity to go practice in your first practice, I think it's going to be special, sort of renews that fire in you a little bit that you had maybe as a youngster at some point in time. So we were very, very excited to get back out there yesterday and really just get back to basics.
You know, we have a lot of freshmen out there that we just have to teach how to practice, the type of tempo that we want, the different practice formats that we have, the different drills that we have and those type of things. That was basically the whole gamut yesterday.
The quarterbacks got back into the thick of things. It's timing, as I said yesterday before practice, the timing of the receivers, the timing of our quarterbacks. All of those different things play into this. So very, very exciting first day. No big problems came out of it.
I think staff continuity is important. Some people weren't there, I guess, at the Big Ten meetings. I think staff continuity gives us an opportunity to continue to critique what we have and try and get better, take our younger players and our freshmen, I guess, is what I would say and try and say is that player better than the second team or third team player and try and get them into that mode as opposed to trying to find out what all these players can do. So we have an experienced staff, and I think that that has helped greatly in our early success here in the first two years.
Senior players, again, it's about finding leadership. We want to make sure that we don't pick our captains until the end of summer practice, so we're going to find out who they are then, do some different things throughout our summer practices that allow us to try and figure that out. If you're going to have a great football team, your seniors have to play best in their final year. I think that's what happened in '07 and '08; we had great individual performances by our seniors and that's what led to that success.
I guess the concerns that we would have or the issues or the things that we really have to look at as we go through practice throughout the fall camp really is our quarterback situation, how that's going to play out. I'm sure everybody is interested in that.
I guess some of our tailback situations, we lost star power when Javon Ringer left, there's no doubt about that. It looked like he had a great game the other day in the Hall of Fame game, the preseason game. But somebody has to come to the forefront there. Somebody has to emerge, and really when you look at it, it's going to be an opportunity probably for two guys to get 150 to 200 carries each or for three guys to get 100 carries each, but whatever the situation dictates, that will play itself out.
I think the important thing is realize we have a senior there, A.J. Jimmerson, so that's why I had him come to speak to the media today because he's the one guy, he's the off returner on the kickoff, but he's the one guy who is a senior, and everybody else is sort of in the thick of it, including our two freshmen. So we'll see how that all plays out here in the next couple weeks. But that should be interesting for everybody.
Our freshmen, the opportunities that they'll have, getting caught up to speed, the learning curve, who's going to emerge as some of the freshmen that are going to be playing, that's always interesting to me. We had six play in '07, I believe, and I believe we had six or seven play last year, as well. Those young players I think will make their mark. We've got some exciting guys, I can already see that, who can do some things.
We need to play up, win the close games, continue to win the close games and play when we have a great opponent in a marquee game, and then we need to continue to try and build the foundation and build on what we've got.
I'm going to open it up for questions here in a second because I think that's probably always the best way to do this, but really in closing before I put it up to questions, I want to address the Glenn Winston situation again. I've made a public statement about that, and I'll stand by that statement.
I also do want to add, though -- I've tried to put myself in that situation which the two families were in a couple of times. I put myself in that situation a lot. I've tried to feel for them and see where they're at with things.
So it's important to recognize that we deeply regret the situation. I'm sorry for any pain that has been caused to the two families, to the Sturges family or A.J. or to Ian Montgomery and his family. It should have never happened.
But with that being said, we have to support Glenn. He's a player. He's got -- he needs to have somebody to support him, and I try and support our players in that regard. He's got a lot of work to do before he even plays. But that's sort of where we're at with that whole things, and that will be the end of the discussion with it.
But I'll open it up for questions. Our goals will always be our goals here, be to win a Big Ten Championship, compete in a BCS game. To do that, we have to focus on the task at hand, and the focus right now is summer camp.

Sad , but these things can and will happen, as long as there is a human factor involved.
Wonder how much weapons training he had, as they stated he was a relatively new employee.
He may have just been issued a firearm/ firearm permit with not a lot of training beforehand, and was grossly negligent.
Prayers for a full recovery.

Yes, I consider this a routine problem in mathematica. Given that your
equations aren't really nasty, you should be able to do this with
Solve, Plot3D and some transformation rules.

Are there any replacements for these receivers? Or will there be? I ordered a few of these and a few transmitters and found that these work perfect for simple communications. I'm regretting not buying more when I had the chance.
No public wish lists :(

Daily DeviationGiven 2013-07-24
Lucid by ~thelandscape offers a glimpse into the past and a hint of a room that might have been much grander and cared for than it is today. ( Featured by Kaz-D )
Very interesting and beautiful work! I like this style, is very impressive!
Love it. It's sad and creepy and speaks of a tragedy. And congrats on the DD.
Is the bed not touching ground? *shot* lol just watched a scary movie (The Conjuring... It wasn't so scary :\) The shadow wouldn't be like that if the bed was in contact with the ground, would it? Whatever o.o please don't rage, I'm not in the mood
P.S. Congrats fo DD
wow, right, I didn't even notice that o_O kinda creepy!
No, you're right. Huh.. never noticed that until you pointed it out - it's probably supported by the spike object next to it.
Anyway, thanks!
Anyway, thanks!
I notice the weirdest things... And that's probably right, or it is right (how would a bed just float... Anyway...) Your welcome
(I love the picture, it really captures the haunting fractures )
I saw that place on TV... :> It's haunted..
cool, an urbex DD.
Excellent image, wonderful expressed emotion of color and light.
Congratulations on your DD!
clean your room bobby!
its a haunted room
I like it...
beautiful lightning and atmosphere.
'LightNing' bedeutet höchstwahrscheinlich ' Blitz' :-D
I think this is a really cool photo!
Congrats on the DD!
Congrats on the DD!
Reminds me of one of the scenes in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movies ^^
Its a brilliant shot, nice one!
Is this an abandoned hotel?
Yes it is, construction started in the 20's - promoting the benefits of the local mineral water. After Penicillin was invented, the attraction slowly dwindled until its closure in 1972.
must be.
- Congrats on the DD!
Have a nice day!
Grats on the DD, it was really well deserved. The lighting was brilliant and it makes me wonder what this room used to be like.
Good pic..
Congratulation to the well deserved DD!
Congratz on the awesome Daily Deviation!!
Quite a scenery
My uncle was an electrician there in the 50's. Sad to see a great old building crumble.

4-H Food Safety and Quality Assurance
The 4-H Food Safety and Quality Assurance (FSQA) program will again be in place for the current 4-H year. FSQA stands for Food Safety Quality Assurance. This program helps 4-H producers understand their role in producing food, and help them make wise, ethical decisions related to food production. If you exhibit the following livestock are required to be FSQA certified: Beef, Bucket Bottle, Dairy, Goat, Swine, Sheep, Rabbit (if it is not a pet project), and Poultry. You MUST become FSQA certified to sell your animal, exhibit your animals at the County Fair, exhibit your animals at the Iowa State Fair.
-Youth in Grades 4-6
o Must re-certify annually by attending a youth FSQA training program.
-Youth in Grades 7-9
o Annually attend a youth FSQA training program
o Take the FSQA test at the extension office.
§ This allows for youth to be certified for three years or until you reach the next age bracket.
-Youth in Grades 10-12
o Annually attend a youth FSQA training program
o Take the FSQA test at the extension office. (Exhibitor must have turned 15 before Janurary 1 to be eligble to test)
o This allows for youth to be certified for three years or until youth graduates
FSQA Testing Information
Tests will be graded by Extension Staff. Youth must receive a 70 % to pass and there is NO time limit. If youth does not reach the 70 %, they have the option to take the test again immediately, or go home, study and come back again to re test after that day. Youth can take up to 3 tests in one day and can take the test as many times necessary to pass.
Youth who would like to take the FSQA test please set up an appointment during office hours at the Clinton County Extension Office.

Submitted to: Ecology Letters
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 3/20/2006
Publication Date: 7/3/2006
Citation: Blumenthal, D.M. 2006. Interactions between resources and enemy release in plant invasion. Ecology Letters. 9:887-895. Interpretive Summary: In order to develop long-lasting solutions to invasive species problems, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms underlying invasion. This paper reviews evidence suggesting that two of the most important causes of invasion, release from natural enemies and increased resource availability, may interact. This interaction may occur because species adapted to habitats with high availability of plant resources, such as light, water or soil nutrients, tend to be strongly affected by enemies. Plants strongly effected by enemies in their native range stand to benefit from leaving those enemies behind (i.e., enemy release) when introduced to a new range. Consequently the same species that benefit from high-resource availability may benefit from enemy release. This hypothesis has a wide array of ramifications for how we understand and manage invasive species. Most importantly, however, it suggests that increasing plant resources through processes such as soil disturbance or nitrogen deposition, will promote invasion by exotic plant species. Furthermore, biological control, the introduction of an invasive species enemies from its native range, may be most effective against plant species from high resource habitats.
Technical Abstract: Understanding why some exotic species become invasive is essential to controlling their populations. This review discusses the possibility that two causes of invasion, release from natural enemies and increased resource availability, may interact. When plants invade new continents, they leave many herbivores and pathogens behind. Species most regulated by enemies in their native range have the most potential for enemy release, and enemy regulation may be strongest for high-resource species. High resource availability is associated with low defense investment, high nutritional value, high enemy damage, and consequently strong enemy regulation. Therefore, invasive plant species that benefit from high resource availability may also gain most from enemy release. Strong release of high-resource species would help to explain observed tendencies of exotic plants to have high-resource traits, and to succeed in high-resource environments. It would also predict that (a) increases in resource availability due to disturbance or eutrophication may increase the advantage of exotic over native species, (b) both enemy release and resources may underlie plant invasion, leading to potential interactions among control measures, and (c) although high-resource plants may experience strong enemy release in ecological time, well defended low-resource plants may have stronger evolutionary responses to the absence of enemies.
