As its name implies, compensatory picks are ones that are intended to give relief to teams that lose free agents the previous year. The intention is to help out franchises that routinely develop talent but won't pay them the big-money contract they seek.
Unfortunately for the Vikings, they didn't lose anyone coveted by another team last year that would warrant getting a compensatory pick when they are announced next month, but the spirit of the nature of compensatory picks seems to be counterproductive to the original intent.
The early speculation is that the Packers might get a compensatory pick as high as the end of the third round for "allowing" Greg Jennings to leave. The Packers already had Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and James Jones under contract and weren't about to re-sign Jennings to a contract that would set the bar for the other three. He left Green Bay by design, but, because the Packers didn't make a big signing of their own, they will be rewarded. Their pick for losing Jennings could come only a few picks after the pick the Vikings received for trading Percy Harvin.
What the Vikings do this offseason in terms of signing their own unrestricted free agents and signing outside free agents may well determine how many draft picks they have in 2015. If the Vikings have little interest in re-signing players like Jared Allen, Kevin Williams and Toby Gerhart, they could reap the benefit of other teams signing them to big-money contracts and them living up to the money.
It's a system that would appear to be flawed from its original intent – losing the type of young franchise player that a team simply can't afford to throw big money at – and has become a system that rewards teams for not being willing to give eight-figure deals.
The Packers made a conscious decision not to get in a bidding war for Jennings. They are going to be rewarded for it.

Sherri Shepherd is shopping for a surrogate!
On Wednesday's Tonight show, Jay Leno asked if she and her husband, Sal Sally, wanted to have kids, she said, "We're doing fertility right now. And Kim, you say you follow your heart and you want kids, if your uterus is open, I'm looking for one, girl, to carry the child. I'll give you some perfume and a free wig for a year, if you want to help me out, girl."
Kim chuckled and Sherri, 44, went on to explain that right after the Dancing With the Stars announcement, she "did an egg retrieval." And hubby Sal did his part. "We got some embryos on ice!"
Sherri also apologized to Kim for criticizing her Dancing With the Stars performance. Sherri says she now knows how hard it is. Her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, "hurt his back" trying to dip her.

LEADING Kidderminster luxury-boat builder Sealine has gone into administration.
The company, based on Whitehouse Road, off Worcester Road, employs about 300 people and manufactures boats and yachts. Graham Bushby and Guy Mander of Baker Tilly Restructuring and Recovery have been appointed joint administrators.
Mr Bushby said: "Sealine has been an important employer in the area over a number of years. We appreciate that there will be great uncertainty among staff and we will endeavour to update them at the earliest opportunity.
"We will also be working to maximise recoveries for the company's creditors, which includes the sale of plant and recovery of monies owed to the business."
Sealine, which began trading in 1972, was part of the Brunswick corporation for more than 10 years before being bought by the American Oxford Investment Group in September 2011.
One month later, it was announced 37 jobs at the firm were to be axed and in February 2012 another 72 were lost.
Earlier this month the owners said it was "business as usual" after announcing they were looking to "recapitalise the business" and did not rule out putting it up for sale.

NOTICE! We will be field testing a machine in an asparagus field in Oregon in the Spring of 2017.
Stay tuned for the results!
The Geiger-Lund Asparagus Harvester is a Game Changer!
Here is why...
- Harvests asparagus for as little as 7 cents a pound!
- Works on any asparagus field with single width
- Works with any tractor
- The machine orients the spears in the lug boxes
- Estimated Price: $75,000 (Subject to change without
The cost per acre to harvest asparagus with the model OR-2017 asparagus harvester running at 3 mph on a field with 60 inch row centers with 45 cutting days is about $650 per acre.
Harvesting 3,000 pounds per acre will cost about 22 cents a pound. Harvesting 5,000 pounds per acre would cost 13 cents a pound.
Hitch 3 machines to the tractor and the cost per acre to harvest drops to about $330 per acre and your harvesting costs for a 5,000 pound per acre yield is about 7 cents per pound!
Let's say you have an asparagus field that is yielding 4,000 pounds per acre, and it is costing you 40 cents a pound to harvest. Let's further assume that you are making 10 cents per pound profit. So you are making a profit of about $400 per acre.
Now let's say you use a one-row machine to harvest your crop and it saves you 20 cents per pound, but you only get 75% yield. Your harvesting savings is added to your per pound profit which is now 30 cents per pound. Your new yield is only 3,000 pounds per acre but your profit is now $900 per acre!
If you use a 3 row machine (three machines pulled by one tractor) your profit per acre jumps to $1200 an acre.
A one row machine on 60 inch centers at 3 mph and running 20 hours per day will cover about 35 acres per day. A three row machine would cover over 100 acres per day.
According to a UC Extension Service document (form 2013), a man can harvest about 1/2 acre per hour.
At 1/2 acre per hour per man, 10 men can harvest 5 acres per hour. So if the 100 acres has to be cut every
day, it would take 20 men working 10 hours, or 10 men working 20 hours in one day.
A three row machine, or three machines pulled by one tractor, at 3 mph on 60 inch centers covers 1.8 acres per hour times 3, or a little over 5 acres per hour. This means the machine can replace 10 men per shift. If you run the machine for two shifts you are replacing 20 men with 2 tractor drivers.
Illustration: Side view of the Model OR-2017
Substantial savings on harvesting costs.
Eliminates manual field laborers.
Start your harvest on your schedule without having to find a crew.
Harvest for the full season even when other crops begin being harvested.
Harvest fields for extra seasons - the machine works great on pencil grass.
- One Man Operation, only the
tractor driver is needed.
- Two or more machines can be pulled with one tractor.
- Works with almost any tractor.*
- Low maintenance - Spend
your time harvesting, not servicing a machine.
- Harvest day and night in any
ambient lighting conditions.
- Fills lug box with lined up parallel spears, not a jumbled mess.
*The tractor must be able to supply 3 gallons per minute for the hydraulics on each header to run the pickup rollers and the conveyor.
We can build an optional toolbar with a PTO powered hydraulic pump for pulling 2 or more machines with a single tractor.

In pursuance to the Royal Decree 69/2012 which amended the Banking Law 2000, the Central Bank of Oman(CBO) has issued its Islamic Banking Regulatory Framework (IBRF). [2] The 519-page document is detailed, comprehensive and sets higher standards for the industry than those in place in several other countries. For example, the CBO has restricted the use of Tawarruq, stating, "Commodity Murabaha or Tawarruq, by whatever name called, is not allowed for the licensees in the sultanate as a general rule."
There are also detailed rules governing Shari'ah boards with criteria set out for scholars on tenures, the maximum number of board seats a scholar may hold and the stipulation that scholars attend a minimum of 75 per cent of board meetings or risk being disqualified [3].
The IBRF document has been categorised under different titles and covers all issues concerning Islamic banking such as the information on licensing requirements, general obligations and governance, accounting standards and auditor reports, supervision and control, capital adequacy, the credit risks, the market risks, the operational risks, the liquidity risks, etc.
The document stipulates that the accounting standards established by the Bahrain-based Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions will be followed.
The Islamic Banking Regulatory Framework (IBRF) document may be viewed on the Central Bank of Oman's website. Additionally, the Royal Decree No.69/2012 - vide Circular No.BM1099 dated 17.12.2012 may also be located in the intranet portal under Circulars/Banking Circulars.

3.6.11 What other hash functions are there?
The best review of hash function techniques is provided by Preneel [Pre93]. For a brief overview here, we note that hash functions are often divided into three classes:
- Hash functions built around block ciphers.
- Hash functions using modular arithmetic.
- Hash functions with what is termed a "dedicated" design.
By building a hash function around a block cipher, a designer aims to leverage the security of a well-trusted block cipher such as DES (see Section 3.2) to obtain a well-trusted hash function. The so-called Davies-Meyer hash function [Pre93] is an example of a hash function built around the use of DES.
The purpose of employing modular arithmetic in the second class of hash functions is to save on implementation costs. A hash function is generally used in conjunction with a digital signature algorithm which itself makes use of modular arithmetic. Unfortunately, the track record of such hash functions is not good from a security perspective and there are no hash functions in this second class that can be recommended for use today.
The hash functions in the third class, with their so-called "dedicated" design, tend to be fast, achieving a considerable advantage over algorithms that are based around the use of a block cipher. MD4 is an early example of a popular hash function with such a design. Although MD4 is no longer considered secure for most cryptographic applications, most new dedicated hash functions make use of the same design principles as MD4 in a strengthened version. Their strength varies depending on the techniques, or combinations of techniques, employed in their design. Dedicated hash functions in current use include MD5 and SHA-1 (see Questions 3.6.5 and 3.6.6), as well as RIPEMD-160 [DBP96] and HAVAL [ZPS93].

I am pregnant and a lesbian. My girlfriend wants to sign the birth certificate but we don't know if we can do that.
No, your partner won't be able to do that. If a father is to be listed on the birth certificate, it must be the biological father of the child, regardless of whatever legal situation may be involved.Ask a similar question
In a situation with step-parents or same sex unions, It is important to know legal implications of standing as well as the fair faith and credit clause. Basically, if these ever is a custody dispute likely your girlfriend will not be able to seek visitation of your child (similar to the case law of a step-parent). This can change depending on the circumstances and whether you are legally married in another state and when the child is born.

It's easy to think that plants are boring. They don't seem to do anything! They stay in one place and grow so slowly that we can't see them move. They don't hunt, hide, fly, build homes, communicate, or do any of the other things that fascinate us about other living creatures. But plants have a secret! Inside that calm exterior they are busily working at a complex process that fuels the whole planet: photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis comes from Greek and means 'putting together with light.' While we humans are trying hard these days to harness the sun's energy to power our homes and vehicles, every green leaf in the world is making the most of solar energy to 'put together' food from water and carbon dioxide. The carbohydrates they make in this process forms the foundation of the food chain - plants (and some photosynthetic bacteria & algae) are the only 'producers' of food; all other living things are 'consumers,' feeding directly or indirectly on the food produced in photosynthesis. But that's not all - photosynthesis is also the main source of oxygen that most living creatures need in order to breathe.
Photosynthesis primarily happens in green leaves. Leaves are ideal for photosynthesis because they are usually broad and flat, giving plenty of surface area for light to be absorbed. They are also thin, which means diffusion of gases such as carbon dioxide can happen quickly. Leaf cells are full of organelles called chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs light. (Chlorophyll absorbs all the red and blue wavelengths of light, but it reflects green wavelengths, making the leaf look green.) Leaves cannot perform photosynthesis without chlorophyll. Some plants have variegated leaves, with patterns of white and green. In these plants only the green parts of the leaf can photosynthesize, because the white parts have no chlorophyll.
A leaf has all its chloroplasts ready and waiting - what else does it need for photosynthesis?
When these three elements are present, the following chemical reaction takes place (Light is in brackets because though it is necessary to power the reaction, it isn't actually one of the reacting substances):
(The chemical equation looks like this: 6CO2 + 6H2O + [light energy] → 6O2 + C6H12O6)
The oxygen is released through the stomata into the air, giving us what we need to breathe. The plant usually makes more glucose than it needs immediately, so the extra is stored as a more complex sugar or as starch until the plant needs it for growth or for food when it is too dark to perform photosynthesis. (One of the ways to test if photosynthesis has occurred is to test for the presence of starch.)
In order to use the food they have made, plant cells must perform cellular respiration. Interestingly, respiration is almost exactly the opposite of photosynthesis. The cell uses oxygen and glucose to create water, carbon dioxide, and energy. (Our cells do this too, which is why we breathe in oxygen but breathe out carbon dioxide.) Respiration happens all the time, not just in the daylight. You may be wondering how plants produce oxygen for us to breathe when they have to use it themselves for cellular respiration. Well, the rate of photosynthesis is usually faster than respiration, so a plant produces more oxygen than it needs for itself. It also produces more sugar than it needs right away, which is how it has some left over to store. (Many times this storage becomes food for us - potatoes are made of extra stored starch, for example!)
So leaves might not seem like much, but really they are one of the foundations of life. Without them performing photosynthesis, you wouldn't have oxygen to breathe or food to eat...you wouldn't be here, in fact! Next time you look at a leaf, think of the amazing, complex process going on in its microscopic cells, helping keep you alive.

Test Beds
The first wave of seven Test Beds were announced by NHS Chief Executive Simon Stevens at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Friday 22 January 2016.
Frontline health and care workers in seven areas will pioneer and evaluate the use of novel combinations of interconnected devices such as wearable monitors, data analysis and ways of working which will help patients stay well and monitor their conditions themselves at home.
Successful innovations will then be available for other parts of the country to adopt and adapt to the particular needs of their local populations.
There are five NHS Test Beds:
- Care city innovation – which will promote healthy ageing across a million-strong population in North East London.
- Long term conditions early intervention programme – which will see the NHS in Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale working with Verily (formerly Google Life Sciences), MSD (a trade name of Merck & Co., Inc., with headquarters in Kenilworth, NJ, USA), Health E Research and the Greater Manchester Academic Health Science Network to help healthcare professionals better identify and support patients at risk of long term conditions using the most advanced new predictive techniques.
- Lancashire and Cumbria Innovation Alliance (LCIA) test bed – which will see the NHS, including two New Care Model Vanguard sites, partner with Philips and a number of SMEs and social enterprises to support the frail elderly and people with long term conditions to remain well outside of hospital and avoid unnecessary admissions.
- PErfect Patient PAthway (PEPPA) test bed – aims to create the 'perfect patient pathway' to bring substantial benefits for patients in the Sheffield City Region suffering from long term conditions, such as diabetes, mental health problems, respiratory disease, hypertension and other chronic conditions.
- RAIDPlus integrated mental health urgent care test bed – which will see Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust partner with Accenture, West Midlands Academic Health Science Network, Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Trust, Joint Commissioning Team, The Strategy unit hosted by Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit, West Midlands Ambulance Service and West Midlands Police to offer more proactive support for people at risk of mental health crisis.
There are two Internet of Things (IoT) Test Beds:
- Diabetes digital coach – a project led by the West of England AHSN in partnership with Diabetes UK and technology companies including Hewlett Packard.
- Technology Integrated Health Management (TIHM) – a collaboration between Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and an array of health technology providers which will help people with dementia to live in their own homes for longer.
About the test bed programme
The NHS Five Year Forward View, published in October 2014, set out the intention to develop a small number of 'test beds'. These sites will evaluate the real world impact of new technologies offering both better care and better value for taxpayers, testing them together with innovations in how NHS services are delivered.
Together with the UK Government and the Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs), NHS England invited innovators from the UK and globally to express interest in deploying and testing their innovations in this flagship initiative.
There is no shortage of innovation in the NHS, but too often innovations do not have the reach or impact that would be expected in other industries. This is due to innovations being tested in isolation from the complementary NHS services needed to unlock their full potential. Innovations have also been implemented without rigour and discipline, generating little evidence about how to achieve impact in real world NHS settings.
The test bed programme provides the opportunity to combine different technologies with innovations in how services are delivered in the NHS. This might be a new service delivery model for people with dementia that combines wearable devices linked into mobile or other digital technology, implemented alongside technology-enabled housing and a lower-cost nurse or allied health professional workforce model.
The programme will support about five test beds within the NHS. We will select the most compelling innovations, offering the greatest potential value for patients and taxpayers. An important indicator of a strong proposition will be a firm commitment from NHS delivery partners to implement these innovations seriously and to test them rigorously.
In March 2015 the Chancellor announced that government would provide funding for demonstrations of Internet of Things technology in health and social care. At least one of the test bed sites identified through this programme will therefore have a focus on enabling Internet of Things technologies, with co-funding available for UK-based innovators. More information on the Internet of Things approach is contained in the prospectus.
The process for selecting test beds
In a second phase, the AHSNs, with the support of the national bodies, will bring together leading innovators with potential test beds. These will be local groups of commissioners and providers, including NHS providers from all sectors: primary, community, acute and mental health. The objective of this phase will be to catalyse partnerships between innovators and NHS bodies to implement combinations of new technologies with innovations in how NHS services are delivered.
Following this 'matchmaking' period AHSNs and national bodies will encourage the development of joint proposals for testing and evaluating innovations that will improve care and offer better value for money. The strongest proposals will be designated as national test beds, and will be supported through a combination of national sponsorship; assistance with implementation barriers and a limited amount of investment to cover the start-up costs of NHS bodies supporting the implementation of test bed innovations. However, we expect innovators to invest as well; for example, to cover the costs of the new technologies themselves. It is important that the value proposition of innovations put forward for testing is strong enough to stand on its own merits rather than be continuously supported by government subsidy. Funding will be agreed at a later stage in the process, on a case-by-case basis.

Does size matter?
Not necessarily, according to a recent research study from Indiana University, reported in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. The survey, or to give its full title: Erect Penile Length and Circumference Dimensions of 1,661 Sexually Active Men in the United States, concluded that size was only one factor.
It explains its conclusions in some detail but, what it all boils down to in the end, is, that it's not what you have, it's what you do with it!
The main purpose of the study was to establish the average length of the American penis, which turned out to be 5.5 inches. For those of you who have difficulty in estimating size, you only need a $20 bill. The average of 5.5 inches is just half an inch shorter than the bill (on its longer side, of course).
So, how did the research team arrive at their conclusions? Dr Debby Herbenick, Associate Director at the Center for Sexual Health Promotion, stated that they, and she, had not personally measured each penis. Instead they had relied on the information given by each participant in the study.
In answer to the obvious question, as to how they knew if the men were telling the truth, she wrote that they had no reason to lie.
She explained: 'They had good reason to report accurate data to us because we were using their size data to match them to a condom that was sized to fit their erect penis. If they reported a bigger-than-reality size to us, they would get a baggier condom. If they reported a smaller-than-reality size to us, the condom would be too tight.
Dr Herbenick went on to clarify what was meant by 'average'. She disclosed they had found that erect penis size varied from as little 1.6 inches to as much as 10.2 inches!
Interestingly, she wrote that the size of the erection depended on how the man got it. Generally, men who received oral sex, got a bigger erection than those relying on masturbation, or 'a hand job' from a partner.
The overall purpose of the research was to provide data that would benefit both men and women, and lead to an improvement in the quality of their sex lives.
This is what Dr Herbenick, in her other role as a sexual health educator at the famous Kinsey Institute, hopes to achieve.
How important is penis size to you? Is 5.5 inches enough? Too much? You can tell us in the comments feed below – and you don't have to use your real name!

Just Films
If justice is what God does, then beauty is what it looks like. ~ Bill Dyrness
Can a film be just? A film can almost certainly be beautiful, so based on Dr. Dyrness' definition, one would assume that a film can indeed be just. But what would that look like?
The first kind of film that springs to mind is documentaries like Invisible Children or Waiting for Superman. Like prophets dressed in rags hurling invectives at the gates of a king, socially conscious documentaries try to rouse us to just action.
Documentaries aren't the only kind of film that work justice in the world. Narrative films can be just as just.
Consider Paris, Texas. This film chronicles a man trying to figure out why his family fell apart and his attempts to put it back together. Paris, Texas is a film of profound grace and forgiveness. It is a film that embraces people in their brokenness, that accepts the unexplainable in life, and that holds up the all-healing power of covenantal love. Paris, Texas is a beautiful film because it is so just.
Contrast it with the recently released, Tron Legacy. The cyber-light landscapes of its digital world are mesmerizing. Unfortunately the film itself offers very little in the way of narrative beauty. The film feigns profundity and ends up being unintelligible. For a film to be beautiful and just it must be genuine, and it must make sense.
Perhaps the finest examples of beautifully just films are those made by Pixar. Visually stunning and narratively complete, Pixar's films consistently show a better world.
Consider Finding Nemo, a film about parenting in which a father searches relentlessly for his son so he can give up his fear and set his son free. Wall-E upholds not only care for creation but also life-awakening, outwardly-focused love between two robots/people. Ratatouille affirms that class and prestige are not prerequisites for social worth. Up! focuses on the persistent value of the elderly. I could go on and on.
Films become truly moving images when they point us to a better world, when they cause us to reconsider our lives, and when they push for just action.
In your film viewing, I encourage you to seek out true beauty—not the flash of movies like Tron Legacy, but the soul-stirring beauty of grace and love like that depicted in Paris, Texas. Risk an evening on a challenging documentary. When in doubt, go Pixar. Join in the just beauty of a truly good film.

relax is a program designed for the study of the dynamics of proteins and other macromolecules though the analysis of experimental NMR data. It supports exponential curve fitting for the calculation of the R1 and R2 relaxation rates, calculation of the NOE, reduced spectral density mapping, the Lipari and Szabo model-free analysis, study of domain motions via the N-state model (or ensemble analysis) and frame order dynamics theories using anisotropic NMR parameters such as RDCs and PCSs, the investigation of stereochemistry in dynamic ensembles, and the analysis of relaxation dispersion.
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It combines remarkable power with very clear syntax, and isn't difficult to learn. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (Tk, Mac, MFC, GTK+, Qt, wxWindows). New built-in modules are easily written in C or C++. Python is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface.
P6Spy is an open source framework for applications to intercept and log database statements. The P6Spy distribution includes P6Log, which intercepts and logs the database statements of any application that uses JDBC. This application is particularly useful for developers to monitor the SQL statements produced by EJB servers, enabling the developer to write code that achieves maximum efficiency on the server. P6Spy is designed to be installed in minutes and requires no code changes.
eZ Publish is a content management system and development framework. As a content management system (CMS), its most notable feature is its revolutionary, fully customizable, and extendable content model. This is also what makes it suitable as a platform for general Web development. Its stand-alone libraries can be used for cross-platform, database independent PHP projects. eZ Publish is also well suited for news publishing, e-commerce (B2B and B2C), portals, and corporate Web sites, intranets, and extranets. eZ Publish is dual licenced between GPL and the eZ Publish professional licence.
JFtp is a Swing Java network and file transfer client. It supports FTP using its own FTP API and various other protocols like SMB, SFTP, NFS, HTTP, and file I/O using third party APIs. It includes many advanced features such as recursive directory up/download, browsing FTP servers while transferring files, FTP resuming and queueing, browsing the LAN for Windows shares, and more. The FTP API is separated from the GUI and can also be used in third-party applications. It should ideally be launched in a Web browser via Java Web Start (contained by the Java 1.4 plugin), but can also be started locally.
LnBlog is an easy to use Weblog designed for flexibility. It has few requirements and works well in shared Web hosting situations. It requires no database, no special PHP extensions, and no particular Web server configuration. All data is stored in text files and the file access module can be easily configured to work when PHP's safe mode is enabled. Its features include support for themes, plugins, TrackBack, Pingback, Podcasting, and the Blogger and MetaWeblog APIs. It supports multiple users, multiple blogs, file uploads, permanent articles, and RSS feeds for entries, topics, and comments. It also comes with a number of standard plugins for managing comment and TrackBack spam.
metaf2xml can download, parse, and decode aviation routine weather reports (METAR, SPECI, SAO), aerodrome forecasts (TAF), synoptic observations (SYNOP), and BUOY observations, and store the data as XML. XSLT style sheets convert it to plain language, as HTML or text. Current weather data from NOAA and other sources can be fetched and displayed.
edtFTPj/PRO is a Java library that performs secure file transfers. It supports FTPS (FTP over SSL), both explicit and implicit modes, and SFTP (FTP via SSH). It also supports asynchronous transfers and FTP connection pools. All major FTP operations are supported, including both active and passive modes. It provides a progress monitor interface, allowing applications to receive progress updates for their file transfers. The library is built on the open source edtFTPj and shares its API. It is compatible with Android 1.5 and above.
The library provides an implementation of dimensioned values for Ada. Unit checks are made at run-time, if not optimized out by the compiler. SI and irregular measurement units are supported. Shifted units like degrees Celsius are supported too. Conversions from and back to strings are provided for all various irregular units. An extensive set of GTK widgets for dealing with dimensioned values is included, though use of GTK is not mandatory for the rest of the library.

'Teen Mom' Amber Portwood Admits Suicide Attempt: 'Depression Took Over' (VIDEO)
"I took 30 Suboxone [pills] within three days," the mother of three-and-a-half year old Leah told ABC News. Suboxone is used to treat opiate addiction.
"The depression took over. I'd just take four to five at a time underneath my tongue and nod out. I had more than addiction problems," said Portwood, 22, who was sentenced in February to three years in an Indiana prison for possessing prescription drugs without a prescription and another two years for a probation violation. "I had, you know, mental problems, too."
This wasn't the first time Portwood attempted suicide.
According to the interview, her ex-boyfriend Gary Shirley called 9-1-1 after a failed suicide attempt last year. Portwood took a plea deal that allowed her to avoid prison and instead pursue treatment at a rehab facility.
But after three months in the rehab program, Portwood decided to opt for prison because she "felt in the program, there were a lot of eyes on me."
"It was uncomfortable," she admitted. "I was not using my anti-psych medication even."
"It's like every time you go out to eat, you know, people are staring at you, talking and it's hard. You get paranoid … it's not normal, to always be paranoid.
"I felt like I'd rather do my time and get it over with and make the best of a situation that's been handed to me."
Though Portwood's sentence is five years, she could get credit for "good time" if she behaves behind bars. Indiana prison policy allows "good time" credits to reduce a prisoner's sentence by up to four years, or one-third of a prisoner's sentence, whichever is lesser.

Optical Imaging: What's Next?
The Participants
? Stephen Ross, Ph.D. is Senior Scientist and Manager, Product & Technology at Nikon Instruments. Melville , NY . (www.nikonusa.com)
? Robert A. Wick, Ph.D. is V.P .Microscopy at Leica Microsystems Inc., Bannockburn , IL . (www.leica-microsystems.com)
Where image analysis meets optical imaging, across the whole field of microscopy really, there's never a lack of new turns, new challenges ? and just plain imaging news. Advanced Imaging 's annual roundtable looks at the latest optical imaging and will not disappoint in that regard. And we have several genuine industry heavyweights on hand to report on the situation circa summer, 2004.
Advanced Imaging: To set the scene: Optical imaging is now being used for examining increasingly small structures down to single molecules. What is your company's imaging approach to providing an integrated solution for providing new perspectives on cellular, molecular and developmental biology and biochemistry?
Stephen Ross, Nikon: Nikon takes a multifaceted approach to imaging which begins with the education of our people, in addition to our customers through interactive tools such as Microscopy U (http://www.microscopyu.com) so that important concepts, such as understanding the importance of matching optical and digital resolution are unambiguous. This support also assists researchers when choosing from a wide variety of tools available to address imaging from whole cells down to single molecules. To cite a real life example, when imaging extremely small structures such as molecules we can use a technique like total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF), which allows imaging of sub-resolution structures located at the cell's membrane. However, if the question addressed requires imaging deep inside a specimen, we would use techniques like confocal microscopy. For Nikon, the common thread in all these techniques is the highest performance optics available. For example, one lens in particular, the Plan APO 1.45 NA TIRF lens, allows TIRF thorough the lens and additionally provides the highest resolution imaging for any optical technique. When imaging deep in a specimen, overcoming spherical aberration is the biggest challenge. And this particular lens is the only high NA oil immersion lens that has ever been produced, incorporating a correction collar that makes it possible to correct for spherical aberration deep inside cells.

This time it was the second half that won it for the Boomers. Just. And it was full pelt, hard-earned and accepted with relief after the upset in New Zealand two years ago that put Australian basketball on its backside.
Intense defence and strong leadership netted last night's 90-76 victory in Geelong, with the formerly retired Shane Heal topping the scoring with 32points and running the show all game, backed up by another veteran, Tony Ronaldson. And seven-footer Chris Anstey played a magic third term to put the Boomers ahead for good.
Australia won by 14, but it seemed closer than that. Much closer, as shown by the blow-up between Ronaldson and Tall Blacks captain Pero Cameron, and a scrum of pushers and shovers, with just over two minutes to play. Both teams had been hard at it all night and more than once the "aggro" threatened to become all-in.
Bruising accepted, Australia is Oceania's champion after having raced clear in the first half to win game one on Monday. Game three will be played in Melbourne tonight, but Australia can celebrate again being top dog Down Under and will go to the Olympic Games in Athens next year as the region's No.1 seed.
The Tall Blacks, the surprise semi-finalists at last year's world championships, will go with heads high.
The Boomers established their new trademark, defence, and kept the Kiwis to 13 points in the third quarter, when Anstey scored, rebounded, blocked and played in NBA fashion.
Heal, who hit 6-8 three-pointers, was the NBA scorer, not the Tall Blacks' potential NBA man, Kirk Penney.
Winning coach Brian Goorjian said: "We played through Shane most of the second half and I thought Shane and 'Bear' (Ronaldson) were super.
"Anstey really struggled in the first half and I called him out at half-time and said, 'You're going to have to lift or we ain't going to get it done."'
Goorjian said the result was testament to the three building blocks set two years ago - conditioning, hardness as a team and the skill component - by specialists brought in, along with the assistant coaches.
"They threw everything at us tonight," the coach said. "We covered those three areas, and (because the 2001 team did not) that's why Australia lost to New Zealand last time."
Last night, NZ started more strongly than on Monday, and its seven-point lead forced Goorjian to a timeout as Ronaldson scored to make it 19-14. The fire that was there in game one flared again early, Ronaldson and Tony Rampton at it, Matt Nielsen and Paul Henare rushing in to push and shove before order was restored.
There was still plenty to watch off the ball in the second quarter before Heal hit a three-pointer to give Australia the lead 33-32 but NZ regained the advantage and went to the break up 43-39.
The third quarter belonged to Anstey and the Boomers, the fourth to Heal and Ronaldson, with strong support from most teammates.
In 38 clashes the Boomers lead 35-3; in Australia the score is 16-0.
Boomers v Tall Blacks
Game 2, Geelong
Australia: 90

Invisible Blogger feeds
Warning - incoming rant.
Why, oh why, oh why does the standard template for Blogger not include a syndication link. There's nothing - not an orange RSS blob, a 'subscribe to this blog' link, or even some cryptic 'Atom 0.1' text somewhere.
There is a feed for every Blogger blog - append 'atom.xml' to the end of the blog's URL and it'll automagically appear, but the default Blogger settings don't have the syndication feed publicised by default. Instead it has to be selected as a configuration option - and a significant proportion of Blogger blogs haven't had it switched on.
I'm daft enough to go Googling for a solution, but there must be countless others who don't bother - so if you are using Blogger as your platform and you haven't switched this on, you stand to lose many of your potential subscribers from the off.

Plumiera acuminata
|Scientific classification
Plumeria acuminata Air. is a flowering plant cultivated in the Philippines. Known commonly as "kalachuchi," it is usually planted for ornamental purposes.
Kalachuchi is a small, deciduous tree, standing at 3 to 7 meters. Its crooked trunk bears fleshy, thick branches, and contains a sticky, milky sap. The bark is smooth and papery, while the wood is yellowish-white and soft. The leaves are alternate, oblong or oblanceolate, 20 to 40 centimeters long, pointed at both ends, and arranged in a spiral at the ends of the branches.
The flowers are large, 5 to 6 centimeters long. They are white or purplish outside and pale yellow within. They are borne in compound peduncled cymes, usually when the tree is leafless. The fruit is of two follicles, cylindrical, pointed at the tip, 15 to 20 centimeters long, and 1.5 to 2 centimeters in diameter. The seeds are numerous and winged.
Origin and distribution
Plumeria acuminata was introduced to the Philippines from Mexico by the Spaniards. It is now pantropic in distribution.
Cultivation and use
Kalachuchi is mainly grown in the Philippines as an ornamental plant, with the flowers as its main attraction. The flowers are supposed to be the source of the perfume known as "Frangipani."
The flowers are popular in Filipino culture as ones given to the dead. Moreover, local superstition says that the tree put strain on the relationships of those living nearby.
Kalachuchi has a variety of medicinal properties. Its bark, which contains the bitter glucoside plumierid, is used as a purgative, emmenagogue, and febrifuge when in decoction. In Mexico, the calcium salt-containing latex is given for toothache, and when combined with coconut oil is used as a remedy for itching.

By Skip Wood, USA TODAY
Now that life without Brett Favre has settled into the consciousness of the NFL and fans of the Green Bay Packers, a closer look at his presumable successor reveals much.
Take this past weekend, for example.
At his first press conference since Favre's retirement announcement last week, Aaron Rodgers came across as something of a Roger Daltrey creation, and not simply because of his 1970s-style, over-the-shoulders hairstyle.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss?
At least in off-the-field presentation. At various points during his press conference, Rodgers showed off several Favre-like qualities, exhibiting an easy-going manner, a self-deprecating wit and an unmistakable — yet subtle — self-confidence.
Rodgers even did the swig-of-the-bottled-water-thing, much in the same way Favre did when explaining his decision to retire several days earlier.
He did, though, stress one thing.
"I'm not Brett Favre, and if they're wanting me to be the next Brett Favre, I'm not going to be him," Rodgers said. "I'm Aaron Rodgers. That's who I am. I'm going to be the best quarterback I can be.
"He did it his way, I'm going to do it my way, and hopefully I can be successful."
The 24th pick in the 2005 draft out of California, Rodgers admittedly chafed at but then embraced being Favre's vice president, for lack of a better phrase. He watched, learned and matured.
Rodgers is the first to acknowledge he often and for the foreseeable future will be compared to Favre, and notes that's not only proper but natural.
But as Favre did after taking over for fan favorite Don Majkowski 16 years ago, Rodgers understands reality. The other guy's gone. So go with it.
"I'm in a good situation," Rodgers said. "I've got a great team around me. A lot of people are focusing on what I'm going to do. It's what the team is going to do, really. I'm an important part of that, I know my role, and I need to play well.
"I'm stepping into a team that's established already. I'm going to be expected to play well, I expect to play well, but I've got a great supporting cast around me."

In West Virginia, as a general rule if you are injured on the job and accept benefits from workers' compensation, you forfeit your right to sue your employer for damages. However there is an exception to this general rule, which is often called a "Mandolidis" or "deliberate intent" case. Under West Virginia Code § 23-4-2, employers can lose their immunity from lawsuit if the injured employee can prove that the injury sustained was the result of "deliberate intention" by the employer.
The deliberate intention standard can be satisfied in one of two ways. First, you can satisfy this standard if you can prove the employer against whom liability is being asserted acted consciously and purposely to produce the injury or death to the employee. The other way to satisfy the deliberate intention standard is by meeting a five-part test, which includes proving the following:
1. An unsafe working condition with a high risk of causing injury actually existed in the workplace.
2. The employer knew of the existence of this unsafe working condition and its high risk of causing injury.
3. The unsafe working condition violated a state or federal safety regulation or a commonly accepted regulation in the industry of the employer.
4. The employer nevertheless exposed the employee to the unsafe working condition.
5. The employee suffered a serious injury or death.
If you have been injured on the job in West Virginia and have accepted benefits from workers' compensation, it is not going to be easy to bring a lawsuit against your employer for damages. The workers' compensation laws in West Virginia are designed to protect employers against lawsuits by injured employees. Deliberate intent cases are hard prove and even harder to win.
If you think that you do have a deliberate intent case against your employer or former employer, though, you should contact a personal injury attorney that has experience with workers' compensation law and more specifically, deliberate intent cases. They will be able to better explain the law to you and tell you whether or not you have a legitimate case.

The nuclear-powered carrier John C. Stennis sailed out of San Diego Bay Thursday after a brief visit to the city to take on supplies. The carrier had been off northern Baja California doing pilot qualification flights and landings before it turned for San Diego. There was no announcement on whether the Stennis will continue training operations or head back to its home port in Kitsap, Washington. The photo you see here actually features three carriers -- the Stennis, the Carl Vinson (middle-right of the image) and the Midway (middle-background.)
Stennis left San Diego on the same day that a locally based destroyer, the Sterett, was scheduled to return how from a long deployment with the carrier Abraham Lincoln.

Lady Gaga, 'Stuck on F—in' You' – Song Review
Happy holidays little monsters. Lady Gaga didn't wait for Santa to deliver a brand new, previously unheard song. She did it herself via a tweet issued at midnight. She posted: "Merry X-mas Little Monsters! Listen Here to my UNRELEASED SONG "Stuck On F—in' You": bit.ly/t2MVBl." And yes, this is the real thing, not a leak of an old song.
Ma Monster spoke about the genesis of the song before she issued it, tweeting: "So to give you a little background to the creation of this song. I wrote it in Minnesota after the Monster Ball on the tour bus. We recorded it in one shot. Fernando on guitar, Paul on Drum Machine. I wrote, sang it, and freestyled the last minute + a half of the song." She also said, "We were all wasted on the bus making records. It is such a time capsule of the spirit of our creativity."
The song is a bluesy, stripped down ditty that sounds like Gaga could sing it in some hole in the wall dive bar down in Texas or some trashy joint on the Lower East Side. Her voice is enrobed by little more than handclaps, echo effects and a twangy, acoustic guitar. There's a little distortion on her vocals, but it's minimal. Compared to the studio processing and effects that define much of 'Born This Way,' this is Gaga, naked, sacred and baring it all.
She wasn't kidding about the one take element, either. She giggles, she improvises, referencing the sold out show she played in Minnesota and cooing about the person who is like an addiction for her. Nothing is cleaned up. She sings, "Baby you're my liquor / I'm addicted to you" and "I don't ever want just another boy or a girl / To love / I'm stuck on you," which she embellishes with a "you-hoo" flourish. She's holding that torch high as she sings the blues. The slow, lazy nature of the way in which she sings gives off a sensual, jazzy vibe, too.
When she declares, "We got mice in the kitchen / But we don't care / 'Cuz we in love," it embodies that crazy, truly, madly, deeply spirit of L to the O to the V to the E.
'Stuck on F—in' You' is five minutes and 32 seconds of Gaga having a good time — raw, uncensored, unfiltered, with "no plans, no clothes, no piano, no nothing … But being stuck on f—in' you." The song certainly captures that feeling of jonesing for someone so bad you can hardly stand it. The song has a snapshot sound; that is, it comes across as if we stumbled onto a recording session with one mantra: no edits allowed. It's Gaga in her most natural state: performing. Before the song fades out, she even says she could keep going. We don't doubt that.
Listen to 'Stuck on F—in' You'

Hi all—in case you missed it, the Union Leader today posted a front page article highlighting Marilinda Garcia's thoughts on the public's growing distrust of the federal government and highlighting how Marilinda's New Hampshire state legislative experience will help her resolve Washington's biggest problems. According to the article:
"For the past two terms in the House, Garcia was on the Finance Committee, including 2011 when lawmakers crafted a balanced budget... 'New Hampshire faced a real economic crisis with a historic budget deficit," Garcia said. "But we produced a balanced budget that was responsible and fair. I was proud to be part of that."
"She also is proud of her involvement with health care reform working with stakeholders including hospitals, insurance companies, patients and physicians... 'It was great to see people work to identify the problems and challenges and to propose innovation solutions," Garcia said. "We were getting somewhere and then the ACA passed and everybody's attention turned to the federal government."

The Australia-United States Ministerial talks come at a crucial time for domestic and global deliberations on a carbon price. US President
Yet the sharp change in the political climate will make it harder for the US to cut its greenhouse gas emissions. This will hamper global climate talks, which restart in Mexico later this month, by making it easier for critics to argue it would be economic suicide to ignore the world's largest economy.
Domestic politics involve a delicate balance between the Greens and rural independents, who favour a carbon price, and the inevitable Coalition campaign over the impact of a carbon price on the cost of living. But our situation differs from America's in a number of significant ways. Here nuclear power is off limits, cheap coal rules the roost, and electricity generators warn repeatedly that they cannot invest in clean capacity because they lack the certainty of a carbon price. So they invest in no capacity.
This is policy paralysis, unacknowledged by the Coalition, which threatens our energy security, one of our competitive advantages. AGL chief
Despite the setback for the Obama administration there is no case for the Gillard minority government to depart from its policy of laying the ground for the introduction of a carbon price after 2013. This would have the additional advantage of allowing low emissions technologies to fight it out in the marketplace on a level playing field, relieve governments of the need to pick winners, something they are notoriously inept at doing, and increase the prospects for lowest-cost abatement.

Historians today don't do history, but historiography. Each aims to better the last in range of content and extremes of references, in language increasingly esoteric and dense: a babble of self referential writing that addresses only others in the lodge. Architectural writing, prone to fashion like all else in the design professions, has followed.

New Top Gun for APA
Silver says that he feels like he is the city's doctor:
"...checking the health of his municipal patient, assessing the vitality of neighborhoods, diagnosing problem spots and continuing prescription treatments to ensure a long life. He also emphasizes the importance of finding an area's personality, and not losing sight of that."
Silver says that planners often get mired in jargon, something he seeks to avoid:
"Early in his career, Silver realized he could set himself apart simply by being able to communicate, a skill that carries through in his daily work as he goes from meetings with concerned neighborhoods to those with developers and city politicians."

When Larry King left CNN in December 2010, "I thought I would have kind of a life of retirement," he says.
But King, 78, who hosted a nationwide call-in radio program and cable's most famous talk show, says his wife Shawn asked, "Why don't you think about going on the Internet?" And a connection to Mexican financier Carlos Slim made that happen: They formed Ora TV and sold a four-day-a-week show that began streaming exclusively on Hulu earlier this month.
Appearing in front of TV critics in a blue shirt and trademark red suspenders, he says, "Technically, I'm an idiot; I don't know how it works," he says. "But I'm thoroughly enjoying it." King works out of a studio in Glendale, Calif., and says the freedom of the Internet doesn't mean he'll let his guests curse. (He bleeps them even though he doesn't have to).
His guests so far have included Judge Judy, Rudy Giuliani, Colin Farrell, Matthew McConnaughey and Regis Philbin, and he says he'll go on as long as he can: "They'll probably have to carry me out!"
Besides his venue, what's changed in journalism since he began his long career? "A lot of it now is get it on, rather than get it right," he says. "I'm not sure we're better served, but you can't compare eras. We certainly have more information at our disposal ... but the Murrows are few and far between."
