NEW ORLEANS — Elise Cerniglia, who for over four decades worked to provide homes and new lives in the New Orleans area for tens of thousands of immigrants and refugees, died Thursday of complications from Alzheimer's disease. She was 90.
From Cubans, Vietnamese and Nicaraguans to Russians and Romanians, Cerniglia helped immigrants find housing, jobs, education and citizenship in New Orleans. An accredited representative, Cerniglia also provided legal representation for immigrants in court and was a founder the Catholic Charities Immigration and Refugees Services. She also started a bilingual preschool.
Born in New Orleans to a chemist who moved his family to Cuba to work in a sugar refinery, Cerniglia spent her childhood in Cuba.
When she returned to the United States, she began helping Cuban children, whom she called her "angelitos," followed later by their families, to settle and build lives in New Orleans.
Following the Vietnam War, Cerniglia helped to bring Vietnamese refugees to the area and initially played a key part in securing housing for thousands, with the first three months rent paid, in eastern New Orleans. Cerniglia was involved in assisting with the immigration of more than 20,000 Cuban and more than 40,000 Vietnamese refugees.
"She knew what it was like to be from another country," granddaughter Kristine Cerniglia said. "And she understood oppression."
Kristine Cerniglia said that even when her grandmother could barely see due to macular degeneration, she was still working on cases, continuing to go into court with her seeing eye dog, Ms. Boots, even after she retired from Catholic Charities at the age of 80.
"I like to think that God was thanking her for all her good work and good deeds by taking her on Thanksgiving Day," Kristine Cerniglia said. "She is a good reminder to her children and grandchildren about what the world needs."
Cerniglia is survived by six children, 17 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.
A visitation will be Tuesday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Jacob Schoen & Son Funeral Home at 3827 Canal St. A Mass will be held at noon Wednesday at Holy Name of Jesus Church at 6367 St. Charles Ave.

I was told that a 99 year lease is treated differently in PA and is almost like a sale. The man that wrote the lease was caretaker for his mother. One attorney said the lease is binding. I am hearing from other people no way. Under these circumstances and after spending $5000. am I ok to stay on the land? Must I have someone from the man's family go to the county . I doubt they will .They have no problem with us being there. We paid the taxes so it would not go to sheriff's sale. They do not want to deal with the problems.

Interesting Info -> How to Guides -> How do you know?
How Do You Know...
Blifaloo's Answers to Common Questions / Fun with Google Suggestions
According to Google Webmaster Tools keyword reports on this site, I recently shot up in the search results for the term "How do you know". My guess is the popularity of "How do you know if someone is lying" has trickled over into more general search results.
I started exploring the question "How do you know", by checking Google's suggestions... there are some suprizing, funny, but also important questions that I will explore and attempt to answer to the best of my ability on this page.
How Do You Know If....
Here are the top suggestions Google gave me for "How do you know if...?":
Q. How do you know if a girl / woman likes you?
Does she laugh at your stupid jokes?
Seriously. I can tell when a girl likes a guy because she finds almost anything he says interesting...or pretends to during early courtship. Guys often shrug this off and just think these girls realize their awesomeness. But really, they are over-looking a guy's lameness -- and that is the biggest tell. Also see: Flirting Body Language.
Q. How do you know if a boy/man likes you?
Guys will find a way to show / tell how awesome and manly they are. The more ego-driven their conversation is with a women...the more likely they find the girl attractive... and the testosterone comes out of their mouths like verbal diaharea. Also see: Male Body Language and Flirting
Q. How do you know if you are pregnant?
Home pregnacy tests are cheap and easy to find. If you can't afford it, you can probably find free testing through a local women's center or free clinic. Give yourself a break from the stress of thinking you may or may not be pregnant -- and find out for sure...now!
I have 3 kids... and can tell you that there is no simple way to tell if you are pregnant without a pregnancy test.
Yes, you can still have periods when you are pregnant. For my 2nd pregnancy, I had periods for the first 3 months of my pregnancy...it can happen, and it does. So, just 'cause you are still bleeding, doesn't mean that you are not pregnant.
Here are some common symptoms of pregancy: Swollen and tender breasts, Darkening of the nipples, Swollen feet. Morning sickness can start as early as 2 weeks after conception, but more likely will appear around the second month.
Just get a pregnancy test!
How Do You Know What...
And Google suggests:
Q. How do you know what size condom to buy?
Most guys will fit regular size condoms just fine. They stretch. A lot. Some guys prefer a slightly larger size (Magnums or whatever), as they find they don't break as easy. However, most sex educators recommend a snug fit for safety's sake.
Also see: Sex Statistics, Facts and Measurements and Penis Size Charts
How Do You Know When...
Another look into the collective conciousness of Google suggestions:
Check back soon, and we'll be answering some of these important questions...and maybe some silly ones, too.

A motorcade carrying the body of former first lady Betty Ford has left the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids for her final memorial service at a church across town.
Dozens of people lined the street outside the museum entrance to watch the hearse pull out early Thursday afternoon. Members of the Ford family rode in black SUVs.
A military honor guard escorted the casket from the museum, where it had been for two days of public viewing, to the hearse.
Following the mid-afternoon memorial service at Grace Episcopal Church, Ford's casket will return to the museum, where she's to be buried in the city where she grew up and wed the man who became the only president from Michigan.
Betty Ford died Friday at age 93.

I don't see anything wrong in the lockdumps you gave, although I'm not an
expert at interpreting gfs lockdumps. Could you do a ps showing the wchan
for those processes? Using sysrq to get a stack dump would also be useful.
You might also do a dlm lock dump and pick out those locks:
echo "lockspace name" >> /proc/cluster/dlm_locks
cat /proc/cluster/dlm_locks
I/O stuck in gnbd could also be a problem, I'm not sure what the signs of
that might be apart from possibly the wchan.

Zak reviews the spine-chilling history of this abandoned nursing home.
Calling all Ghost Adventures fanatics! Zak Bagans is looking for two fans to accompany him on an exclusive tour of his Haunted Museum in Las Vegas. The selected participants also will join Bagans and the crew on a paranormal investigation at the museum for an upcoming episode. Find out more!
No weekend plans? We have you covered. Catch up on past episodes of Ghost Adventures, right here. (Warning: You'll probably want to sleep with the lights on tonight.)
Lockdown your Saturdays with the fearless team from Travel Channel's "Ghost Adventures," returning for a spine-chilling twelfth season. In each episode, paranormal investigators Zak Bagans and Aaron Goodwin, along with A/V techs Billy Tolley and Jay Wasley, travel to a haunted destination where they meet with locals, eyewitnesses and experts to piece together the haunted history of each site. They then begin a dusk-to-dawn "lockdown" investigation, using the latest scientific gadgets and technology to confront the reported paranormal activity and document key evidence in an effort to uncover the truth behind each haunted mystery.
Learn about our investigators and paranormal specialists as they interview eyewitnesses and historians at each haunted location, arming themselves with the stories of the ghosts they will later provoke and confront during their dusk-to-dawn lockdowns.
Zak, Nick and Aaron investigate one of America's most haunted houses in San Diego, the historic Whaley House. Built on top of former gallows, many believe the spirit of a hanged thief might be taking revenge on the living by choking and scratching them.
Ghost Adventures conducts a special investigation of the infamously creepy Island of the Dolls in Mexico. Zak Bagans' fear of dolls intensifies when he witnesses little plastic faces laugh and light up during the night's lockdown.
Zak and the crew investigate the site of a 1996 double murder in Los Angeles' Chatsworth neighborhood. The guys gather chilling evidence of paranormal activity and are lured away from the location against their will.
The Ghost Adventures crew investigates the Stone Lion Inn in Guthrie, Oklahoma, where it is said the owner performs satanic rituals in the local cemetery. Zak also uncovers the truth about what happened to the famous outlaw Elmer McCurdy after his death.
The ghosts of tortured slaves lead Zak, Nick and Aaron into the Maysville Slave House in Kentucky. The team provokes the cruel slave owner and comforts the tormented spirits of the slaves that once resided in the house's dungeon.
Ghost Adventures heads to Nevada, and Zak lives his nightmare. He faces his intense fear of clowns as he investigates the Clown Motel, while Aaron & Jay explore an abandoned high school.
The team goes to Philadelphia to investigate the abandoned Eastern State Penitentiary. Driven insane by solitary confinement, torture and disease, the inmates suffered an ugly and violent existence. Their angry spirits continue to roam the corridors.
Ghost Adventures conducts a special investigation of the infamously creepy Island of the Dolls in Mexico. Zak Bagans' fear of dolls intensifies when he witnesses little plastic faces laugh and light up during the night's lockdown.
Ghost Adventures arrives in Arizona to investigate the dark energy found at Yuma Territorial Prison. During the investigation, the crew interacts with ghostly band members and Zak has a close encounter with a long-dead prisoner.
The guys step back in time to the Wild West while in Santa Clarita, CA, to investigate Heritage Junction, which is rich in history and allegedly a paranormal hot spot.
Zak, Nick and Aaron visit the historic St. James Hotel in Cimarron, NM, where many famous people from the Old West, including Jesse James, Wyatt Earp and Annie Oakley, have stayed over the years.
Zak and the crew travel to New Mexico to investigate the Double Eagle Restaurant and the Dona Ana County Courthouse. Both buildings have been plagued by death, leading to poltergeist activity that torments investigators.
Zak, Nick & Aaron head to the recently-closed Central Unit Prison in Sugar Land, TX, to be the first investigators to document the spirits of its violent former inmates. With only a couple of stories to help guide the investigation, the guys hope to learn undiscovered facts by communicating with the spirits.
Zak, Nick & Aaron revisit the horrifying Linda Vista Hospital to contact a spirit of a woman that Nick saw reach out to him in 2009. The guys experiment by building an electrified ghost chamber hoping to manifest the apparition.
Zak, Nick & Aaron travel to Letchworth Village, an abandoned mental institution complex in Haverstraw, NY, to reveal a powerful and addictive force that compels locals to persistently revisit the haunted grounds.
Zak, Nick and Aaron head to the desolate former mining town of Bannack, MT, riddled with paranormal activity. Before heading into the large-scale lockdown, the guys witness strange activity in broad daylight.
Zak, Nick and Aaron get locked down in the Stanley Hotel, the house of horrors that inspired Stephen King's "The Shining." Join the crew in one of the world's most notorious nests of paranormal activity.
Ghost Adventures targets Port Townsend, WA to investigate the violent hauntings at Manresa Castle. During the lockdown, a spirit repeats Aaron's words verbatim; but will he escape unscathed?
Zak, Nick and Aaron make their first trip out to Mississippi to visit the oldest building in Natchez: King's Tavern, home to a legendary bloody dagger. Locals discovered the dagger in the fireplace, and the public has not seen it for over 30 years. People claimed the dagger was used in the murder of the most infamous ghost in the King's Tavern's history, Madeline, the mistress of the tavern's first owner, Richard King.
Zak, Nick and Aaron head to the Great Lakes to explore the demonic activity overrunning the Palmer House Hotel. The investigation gets personal when a dark spirit beckons Zak and Aaron, speaking their full names.
Zak, Nick and Aaron investigate 2 New York sites: A mansion rumored to be haunted by the ghost of George Washington, and a bar where security camera footage reveals glasses spontaneously flying off shelves.
Zak, Nick & Aaron enter the Old Charleston Jail to investigate the site of the first US female serial killer's public execution. The guys invite the Music Video Mashup Contest winners into this unprecedented lockdown with them.
The Ghost Adventures crew investigates St. Anne's Retreat, where in 1997 a group of teenagers, drawn to the property for its legends of dead nuns and hellhounds, were held hostage and terrorized by three armed security guards.
Ghost Adventures becomes the first team to investigate the Castaneda Hotel in New Mexico. They later gain access to another haunted hotel, the Plaza Hotel, where an aggressive spirit is said to be targeting women.
Ghost Adventures investigates a former old folks home & orphanage, with over 10,000 reported deaths. The guys uncover horrifying tales of the Odd Fellows secret society, which used human remains for their dark rituals.
Zak and the crew travel to Erie, Colorado, along with Bishop Bryan Ouellette to perform an exorcism on a young man in order to help rid him of a demonic attachment he obtained after trying to conjure an entity years ago.

Robin Rosenberg introduced
me to the simplest method of creating a new
branch without any ancestors:
$ echo ref: refs/heads/newbranch > .git/HEAD
$ git branch
$ git commit -m 'creating newbranch'
$ git branch
* newbranch
This comes in handy if you want to maintain two separate components without any common files in the same repository. I am using it currently while experimenting with a new method of storing my home directory in git, which is still far from anywhere. I shall report once I reach a point of success or failure.
NP: Rush: Moving Pictures
Update: Johannes Schindelin taught me how to do
the same without touching files in
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/newbranch
and also addressed the issue which would have all files already committed to the "master" branch now appear in the git status output as staged.
This is because the index contains the full copy of a
revision of a file, as it would be if committed at any point.
git status shows the differences between what has been
committed, what would be committed, and what is available in the
working tree. Since we pointed
HEAD to nowhere
("newbranch" does not yet exist), the index and what has been
committed (nothing in this case) diverge, the files are
still staged, and thus are scheduled to be part of the
impending commit.
The way to fix this is to remove the index:
$ rm .git/index
This may seem weird, but it works, because
recreates the index whenever you switch branches:
piper:~> git init-db
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
piper:~> echo 1 > a; git add a; git commit -m.
Created initial commit e774324: .
1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 a
piper:~> git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/newbranch
piper:~> rm .git/index
piper:~> git status
# On branch newbranch
# Initial commit
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
# a
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
piper:~> echo 2 > b; git add b; git commit -m.
Created initial commit 54ff342: .
1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 b
piper:~> git branch
* newbranch
piper:~> git checkout master
fatal: Untracked working tree file 'a' would be overwritten by merge.
piper:~> git checkout -f master
Switched to branch "master"
piper:~> git status
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)

Steam Box: Everything We Know So Far
Steam Box Is Real And It's Coming
Rumour: Less of rumour and more of a fact, Gabe Newelll confirms to the industry that the Steam Box is real and more importantly, it's on the way. (Source: The Verge)
That's right, it's finally happening. After years of speculation and rumour, Valve CEO Gabe Newell has confirmed that Steam Box is in the works and it could be under your TV as sooner than you think. It's not often that Valve opens its doors and drops a bomb quite as big as that, but that's exactly what happened when The Verge sat down to chat to Valve's head recently.
"We'll come out with our own," explained Newell of the Steam Box, "and we'll sell it to consumers by ourselves. That'll be a Linux box, [and] if you want to install Windows you can. We're not going to make it hard."
Without a traditional reveal with pictures of the hardware and games already in development being shown off, Valve has once again approached things in its own way and this does make it harder to quantify the impact the Steam Box will have on the gaming industry.
Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo have been trying to one-up each other all the while ignoring what the PC platform is doing and more importantly, what Valve has been achieving with Steam. This could be the wake-up call that really shakes up the game's industry and makes the next-gen very interesting indeed.
Steam Box's Codename Is 'Bigfoot'
Rumour: The current internal working title for Valve's Steam Box is 'Bigfoot' which refers to the living room console and 'Littlefoot' which refers to the mobile and tablet arm. (Source: VG247)
It's always easier to believe in a secret console project when you have an in-development working title to cling to. For months now we've been making do with just the Durango and the Orbis, but now we also have the Bigfoot.
From initial rumours regarding Valve's first console (although, really, that seems like a slightly misleading title for what Valve is actually working on) Bigfoot refers to the living room box that will connect to your TV or monitor. If the speculation is correct, through Bigfoot Valve will be able to put Steam on your big screen and make you realise why Steam Sales are the best thing ever.
Conversely, Littlefoot refers to how users will be able to interact with Steam and their games while they're out of the house. Littlefoot is apparently Valve's plans for how we'll be able to access games/content on our mobile or tablet devices.
While it's easy to look right now and see that what the rumours are suggesting is an awful lot like what we already enjoy as gamers, Valve has a way of showing the industry how to do things properly. Right now, these are just working titles and they only offer us the merest of hints at what Valve is really working on.
Steam Box Won't Launch In 2013
Rumour: Steam Box won't launch in 2013. That is all. (Source: CVG)
Talk of Valve entering into the console race has been mere speculation for years, but the last few months have seen the speculation and rumours turn to genuine curiosity as it seemed ever more likely. And now that Gabe Newell has confirmed that Valve is indeed working on its own hardware, it's rather disappointing to discover that we won't be getting to play with it any time soon.
According to a recent interview, a 2013 launch is definitely off the cards. "With regards to the Steam Box news – there has been a lot of things that we are working on getting Steam into the living room, and are planning for a hardware box, but we have no current plans to announce anything in 2013."
Knowing that Valve will skip 2013 in its plans to bring the Steam Box to market gives us a much clearer idea how the arrival of a new console manufacturer on the scene could upset the apple cart. Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo now have at least a year before Valve begins breathing down their respective necks.
With rumours heavily suggesting that we could see the next-gen Xbox in 2013 and the PS4 in 2014, Valve's Steam Box will be wading into a battle that's in full swing. How the masses react to yet another new console will be interesting and at the forefront of how Valve decides to market the Steam Box.
It'll have to be comparable in features and specs, too, if it is to have a chance of competing with what we're still hoping will be incredibly powerful next-gen consoles.
Steam Box Could Use Augmented And Virtual Reality
Rumour: We're probably reaching too far into the future with this, but with Valve's R&D department working on augmented and virtual reality (not to mention, wearable computing) we're hoping this has something to do with the Steam Box. (Source: NowGamer)
Michael Abrash, the veteran programmer leading wearable computing R&D at Valve has revealed why he favours virtual reality over augmented reality – for now.
Valve is all set to develop wearable computing for the masses, with public testing planned for some time next year.
In a new (and long) blog post, Valve's Michael Abrash has revealed his thought process behind whether to focus the company's R&D resources on Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality.
Hypothesising both how products such as Google Glass may shape our lives in the next few years, and also whether AR or VR should be the utlimate goal for technologists, Abrash reasons that virtual reality is at the point of improvement, while "true AR" (ie fully-immersive, all-encompassing glasses-based AR).
"In the near term, though, VR hardware will be shipping, and because the requirements are more limited, it should improve more rapidly than AR hardware," wrote Abrash.
"Also, it's easier to adapt existing AAA titles to VR, and while VR won't really take off until there are great games that built around what VR can do, AAA titles should get VR off the ground and attract a hard-core gaming audience. And a lot of the work done on VR will benefit AR as well."
Valve recently endorsed Palmer Lucky's Oculus Rift VR headset.
"My personal opinion (which is not necessarily Valve's) is that it makes sense to do VR now, and push it forward as quickly as possible, but at the same time to continue research into the problems unique to AR, with an eye to tilting more and more toward AR over time as it matures," reasoned Abrash.
"As I said, it's not the definitive answer we'd all like, but it's where my thinking has led me."
So, is Valve more likely to look at a VR headset in the near future? We;ll know more when the company begins testing its hardware next year.
The Steam Box's Controllers Will Use Biometrics
Rumour: Unimpressed with traditional controllers and motion control, Valve's Steam Box will take a unique approach to controller design and even use Biometric data. (Source: The Verge)
Control pads have remained as the traditional in-put for gaming for years now and they haven't really changed since the PS2 days. We're ignoring motion control as it's really debatable that it's offered anything other than a mild distraction from the control pad despite Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo all jumping on the bandwagon.
Valve is taking a different approach and with rumours hinting that it has been tinkering away with wearable technology, virtual reality and biometric data.
"I think you'll see controllers coming from us that use a lot of biometric data," explained Newell to The Verge. "Maybe the motion stuff is just failure of imagination on our part, but we're a lot more excited about biometrics as an input method."
"Biometrics is essentially adding more communication bandwidth between the game and the person playing it, especially in ways the player isn't necessarily conscious of. Biometrics gives us more visibility. Also, gaze tracking. We think gaze tracking is going to turn out to be super important."
So, how developers and players interact while playing is going to be more important than the binary inputs made available by motion control. Tracking where players are looking could result in all kinds of fascinating new gameplay applications, but ultimately, it comes down to what kinds of tools are afforded to developers with the Steam Box.
Newell has also described how Valve is attempting to make a controller that limits latency and lag while also pushing precision control. "On the controller side, the stuff we're thinking of is kind of super boring stuff all around latency and precision. There's no magic there, everybody understands when you say "I want something that's more precise and is less laggy."
Valve are approaching this from two different design standpoints; as game developers and as fledgling hardware developers. It'll be interesting to see what ideas eventually make it through to completion.
Steam Box's Games Will Themselves Be Platforms
Rumour: More and more PC games rely on user generated content and 'pro players' to keep their experiences engaging. Valve is attempting to work out ways in which the Steam Box can utilise this idea across an entire console. (Source: The Verge)
Another idea hinted at in The Verge's interview with Gabe Newell is the idea that the Steam Box will provide players with opportunities to become part of a game's system. In the same way that EVE players are able to manipulate the in-game stock market or World Of Warcraft players selling desirable items, the Steam Box could include ways for players to do this across its portfolio of games.
"So now we're in this strange world where we have people who are using the Steam workshop who are making $500,000 per year building items for other customers," explained Newell. "In other words, there's this notion that user-generated content has to be an important part of our thinking."
Anticipating how players will interact with a game once its out in the wild is incredibly important and one of the reasons why PC gamers still find themselves playing older games such as World Of Warcraft. This way of thinking brings with it a layer of freedom afforded to the player that could make the Steam Box's games standout next to the expected traditional titles of the Next Box or PS4.
Players want to be able to contribute and engage with the community and the Steam Box could make that a core feature.
The Steam Box Will Also Be A Server
Rumour: In order to offer the features Valve has planned for the Steam Box, the device itself will also be server allowing it to stream content to satellite devices. (Source: The Verge)
Gabe Newell has confirmed that the Steam Box will also act as server and in the future could see multiple players all playing games on separate screens.
With more and more devices arriving that take advantage of technology that allows players to stream content from their PCs (Shield is the obvious one that springs to mind), Newell has confirmed that the Steam Box could take things to a logical conclusion.
Right now, Newell has admitted that Valve is working with Nvidia on a way of making this kind of multi-device, multi-screen use realistic.
Big Picture Mode Is Just The Start
Rumour: Valve recently revealed Big Picture Mode, but this is its first steps towards making Steam (and eventually the Steam Box) an integral part of your gaming diet. (Source: NowGamer)
Valve is launching a 'public test' for Steam's Big Picture user interface today that will give gamers the chance to use Steam and any downloaded games from the service on their TVs.
Using Big Picture Mode, Steam will offer a TV-friendly interface that makes it much easier to navigate on a big screen and it will ensure any downloaded games will be appropriately displayed.
Big Picture Mode was announced early last year and the beta will give Valve the chance to fine-tune its new service before launching it worldwide and making Steam available to living rooms as well as desktop computers. It could put Steam into direct competition with console services like Xbox Live and PSN as well as streamlining the existing PC and Mac service.
What's important about the introduction of Big Picture mode is the ways in which it will pave the way for what users expect from the Steam Box.
"With Big Picture Mode we're trying to answer the question: "how can we maximize a content developers investment?" explained Newell. "It's not a lot easier for me to build content that spans running on a laptop, running in a living room, and running on the desktop, as opposed to completely re-writing your game."

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by IAmLegend, Dec 18, 2012.
Not really, that'd be Atlanta or Green Bay.
Miles makes alot of money and gets nicked up alot. Also fast approaching 30. They need to be looking ahead.
we really dont need to....I wouldnt say the best corp....but Dez has definitely turned on the switch. If Miles can stay healthy, he is one of the better ones in the league. I like what I see from Beasley and Harris. Ogletree annoys me because he makes a good play here and there, and then he really screws up. Then we have Coales on the practice squad. I would like to replace Ogletree with Coales next year. If possible, it would be nice to be able to have 6 WRs on the roster.....#6 being Quinton Patton.
But if we don't go WR at all in the draft, I will be ok with it.
I like steadman bailey as a mid round pick. I know it's been said before but kid reminds me of steve smith and has heart that could be real special. That may just be the homer in me but I think he will thrive in the nfl.
Bailey is a good player, but Tavon Austin will be a star. He is deshaun Jackson with the crazy.
Good comparison. But something tells me Tevan Austin is not even the 5'9 that he's listed at. I think he's probably close to 5'7 or 5'8. That's really small for an NFL receiver. But, with his incredible speed, agility, and cutback ability, I think someone still takes him at the end of the first. Worst case, he's an early 2nd round pick that will kill defenses in the slot.

Chris Matthews Takes on 'Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!' Publisher
Better get those potables, combustibles, and sharp objects stowed, and stowed quickly, sports fans, for this one is destined to evoke uncontrollable fits of laughter.
To set this up, did you know that there is a children's book entitled "Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!"?
Check the link if you think I'm kidding, I'll wait.
Anyway, on Friday, MSNBC's Chris Matthews interviewed the publisher, Eric Jackson of World Ahead Publishing (absolutely must-see video available here). And, trust me, Matthews was having a hard time controlling himself, especially towards the end when he asked his guest:
Is this propaganda? Let me ask you if it's anything but, is it scary propaganda?
So, what was Matthews so up in arms about? Well, this is how the book is described by Amazon:
This full-color illustrated book is a fun way for parents to teach young children the valuable lessons of conservatism. Written in simple text, readers can follow along with Tommy and Lou as they open a lemonade stand to earn money for a swing set. But when liberals start demanding that Tommy and Lou pay half their money in taxes, take down their picture of Jesus, and serve broccoli with every glass of lemonade, the young brothers experience the downside to living in Liberaland.
And, the publisher described it this way:
Would you let your child read blatantly liberal stories with titles such as "King & King;" "No, George, No;" or "It's Just a Plant?"
Unless you live in Haight-Ashbury or write for the New York Times, probably not. But with the nation's libraries and classrooms filled with overtly liberal children's books advocating everything from gay marriage to marijuana use, kids everywhere are being deluged with left-wing propaganda.
"Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed" is the book conservative parents have been seeking. This illustrated book -- the first in the "Help! Mom!" series from Kids Ahead -- is perfect for parents who seek to share their traditional values with their children, as well as adults who wish to give a humorous gift to a friend.
Praised by Rush Limbaugh and hailed as "the answer to a baseball mom's prayers" by talk radio host Melanie Morgan, this book has already been the subject of coverage in The Wall Street Journal and Harper's magazine. Written by a self-proclaimed "Security Mom for Bush" and featuring hilarious full-color illustrations by a Reuben Award winning artist, it is certain to be one of the most talked about children's books of the year.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather kids read this than "Heather Has Two Mommies."
How 'bout you?
For those that are interested, the author, Katharine DeBrecht, has also had published:
"Help! Mom! The 9th Circuit Nabbed the Nativity! (or, How the Liberals Stole Christmas)"
And "Help! Mom! Hollywood's in My Hamper!"
I'm verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves.

Just Call Me Santa
The court hears many name change petitions for both adults and minors. Most name change requests are for reasons you might expect: a child wants to take his stepfather's last name; a woman wants to restore her maiden name years after a divorce; or a man is unhappy with the first name his parents gave him and wants a new name of his choosing.
However, some name change petitions are quite unusual. Take the case of David Lynn Porter. Porter asked the Third District Court in Salt Lake City to change his name to Santa Claus and the court denied his request. The appellant's brief stated that "...to Porter's dismay Judge Timothy Hanson of the Third District Court denied this jolly old elf's request." He appealed to the Utah Supreme Court and asked that the Court reverse the Third District Court's holding and change his name to Santa Claus, and in the alternative, to Kris Kringle. The Court did in fact reverse and remand the case back to the lower court, where Porter's name was legally changed to Santa Claus. Want to read the appellant's brief? Download it here.
In the Court's opinion, Justice Wilkins, writing for the majority, stated: "Porter's proposed name may be thought by some to be unwise, and it may very well be more difficult for him to conduct his business and his normal everyday affairs as a result. However, Porter has the right to select the name by which he is known, within very broad limits. Significantly, Porter already tells others that he is Santa Claus. Allowing him to legally change his name to reflect his practice of doing so is more likely to avoid greater confusion than to create it by making Porter legally responsible for his actions in the name Santa Claus." Read the entire Supreme Court opinion here.

Ecstasy in Milan as victory seals 17th Italian title
Page Tools
La dolce vita: AC Milan players and staff celebrate winning the Serie A crown on Sunday. Photo: AFP
AC Milan won their 17th Italian title as they lifted the Serie A crown for the first time since 1999 with a 1-0 win over second-placed AS Roma on Sunday.
A second-minute header from Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko gave Milan a nine-point advantage over Roma with two games remaining.
But there were ugly scenes as the game was interrupted twice in the second half when Roma supporters hurled fireworks and missiles on to the pitch.
First, Milan's Gennaro Gattuso was stunned by a powerful firework that exploded near him after Roma's appeals for a penalty for handball were controversially turned down. Then Milan goalkeeper Dida had to receive medical attention after he was twice struck by objects thrown from the crowd.
Milan have lost just one league game during the campaign. They have earned the most points in a season since three points for a win was introduced in 1994.
Although a draw would almost certainly have led to Carlo Ancelotti's first scudetto (Italian championship) as a coach, Milan's positive approach showed they wanted to wrap things up in front of a capacity crowd.
"This was the best way to win the title - against Roma at the San Siro," said Milan's Dutch midfielder Clarence Seedorf. Roma coach Fabio Capello, who enjoyed a successful spell as Milan coach in the early 1990s, paid tribute to his old club.
"Congratulations to Milan, who have had a truly great season," he said. "They have achieved a record points tally but it was their wins over their direct rivals that made the difference."
Milan, who have beaten their closest challengers Roma four times in league and cup this season, were firmly in control of the game after the best possible start. Brazilian Kaka produced a pinpoint cross from the right and Shevchenko rose superbly to head past sprawling Roma keeper Ivan Pelizzoli for his 22nd league goal of the season.
Roma were furious four minutes after the break when Francesco Totti's free kick struck Shevchenko's raised arm in the Milan wall and penalty appeals were turned down.
Despite the mood turning sour, with Roma fans hurling firecrackers into the home stands, the Milan supporters erupted with joy at the final whistle as Ancelotti celebrated a second major trophy in two full seasons, following his Champions League win last campaign.
"It's fantastic," said the Milan coach, who twice finished second in the title race in charge of Juventus. "I'm very happy, especially because of our performance today."
Milan captain Paolo Maldini and defender Alessandro Costacurta set club records with their seventh scudettos.
Milan: Al-Saadi Gaddafi, son of the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, made his debut in the Italian league on Sunday, coming on as a substitute for Perugia in their 1-0 win over Juventus.
Gaddafi, 30, joined Perugia in the off-season but had fitness problems and was banned after testing positive in a drugs test.
His debut was a surprise given that Perugia needed to win to keep alive their hopes of avoiding relegation.
"Gaddafi came on because he is a player and not because anyone of us wanted to go into history as the one who first played the son of a head of state in the Italian championship," Perugia coach Serse Cosmi said.

Towards semantic search and inference in electronic medical records : an approach using concept-based information retrieval
Koopman, Bevan, Bruza, Peter, Sitbon, Laurianne, & Lawley, Michael J. (2012) Towards semantic search and inference in electronic medical records : an approach using concept-based information retrieval. Australasian Medical Journal, 5(9), pp. 482-488.
This paper presents a novel approach to searching electronic medical records that is based on concept matching rather than keyword matching.
The concept-based approach is intended to overcome specific challenges we identified in searching medical records.
Queries and documents were transformed from their term-based originals into medical concepts as defined by the SNOMED-CT ontology.
Evaluation on a real-world collection of medical records showed our concept-based approach outperformed a keyword baseline by 25% in Mean Average Precision.
The concept-based approach provides a framework for further development of inference based search systems for dealing with medical data.

I removed the following from the article because it was, at most, an observation more than established canon, as well as the simple fact that it was almost longer than the actual article. --Gvsualan 10:51, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The Miradorn are best described as being comprised of pairs of monozygotic twins (all Miradorn are identical twins) and their symbiosis appears to be both neurochemical and electrical. The following symbiotic requirements to be part of the psychological and sociological makeup of the Miradorn:
- *A pheromone-like neurochemical interaction through skin neuronal receptors.
- *Dissolved chemicals from Miradorn skin secretions produced by various skin glands.
- *Electrical stimulation which bears some similarities to electrical charges produced by the electric eel.
- The interaction is more than just communicative but in fact there is shared higher brain function among Miradorn (specifically in the areas of mood, memory, and emotional state) and separation or death of Miradorn twins has produced in all known cases severe psychological stress and in many cases psychotic behavior.
Ah-Kel and Ro-KelEdit
Shouldn't they have a single page, rather than two separate ones, because they are in fact two parts of a single being? See discussion about this point. zsingaya 16:59, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Are all miradorn twinned?Edit
Where is the statement that all miradorn are born as twins from? I just watched "vortex", they said that twinned miradorn has a very strong link, that's all. --Rami 12:05, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
Not all but most... Edit
...all the references I've been able to find seem to indicate that 90% of Miradorn are identical twins. So there is that small percentage of "others" (no specification as to single births, multiples beyond 2, however).
90%? Edit
So far as I know, the only canonical reference to the Miradorn is in Vortex, and 90%, indeed no percentage, is given.
The fact that they refer to "twinned" Miradorn implies non-twinned members. That the question to Sisko specifically singled out twinned Miradorn, as opposed to asking merely "have you ever dealt with Miradorn?" implies to me (and perhaps only me) that non-twins are common enough to require such clarification.

Invest in "Life-Extending" Time
Investing time in caring for your health is an obvious one that will certainly yield you more time, literally—in days, months, if not years tacked on to your life. Yet we often take our health for granted until we experience a wake-up call.
Proactively invest your time in your health by eating well, exercising regularly, getting plenty of sleep and regularly seeing your doctors.

Three-dimensional printing of hierarchical and tough mesoporous bioactive glass scaffolds with a controllable pore architecture, excellent mechanical strength and mineralization ability
Wu, Chengtie, Luo, Yongxiang, Cuniberti, Gianaurelio, Xiao, Yin, & Gelinsky, Michael (2011) Three-dimensional printing of hierarchical and tough mesoporous bioactive glass scaffolds with a controllable pore architecture, excellent mechanical strength and mineralization ability. Acta Biomaterialia, 7(6), pp. 2644-2650.

(PDF 130kB)
New-generation biomaterials for bone regenerations should be highly bioactive, resorbable and mechanically strong. Mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG), as a novel bioactive material, has been used for the study of bone regeneration due to its excellent bioactivity, degradation and drug-delivery ability; however, how to construct a 3D MBG scaffold (including other bioactive inorganic scaffolds) for bone regeneration still maintains a significant challenge due to its/their inherit brittleness and low strength. In this brief communication, we reported a new facile method to prepare hierarchical and multifunctional MBG scaffolds with controllable pore architecture, excellent mechanical strength and mineralization ability for bone regeneration application by a modified 3D-printing technique using polyvinylalcohol (PVA), as a binder. The method provides a new way to solve the commonly existing issues for inorganic scaffold materials, for example, uncontrollable pore architecture, low strength, high brittleness and the requirement for the second sintering at high temperature. The obtained 3D-printing MBG scaffolds possess a high mechanical strength which is about 200 times for that of traditional polyurethane foam template-resulted MBG scaffolds. They have highly controllable pore architecture, excellent apatite-mineralization ability and sustained drug-delivery property. Our study indicates that the 3D-printed MBG scaffolds may be an excellent candidate for bone regeneration.

Knock Out Bangs
What an amazing woman! Intelligent, beautiful, passionate, grounded…with the ability to captivate the world with her smile and completely dominate the 2013 Inaugural Ceremonies with her bangs!
During the luncheon, the president said, "I love Michelle Obama," at a candlelight reception at the National Building Museum, "And to address the most significant event of this weekend: I love her bangs." Clearly Mrs. Obama, well known and admired for her fashion sense, is aware that bangs are haute these days! Yes, they've been around forever, and your 5-year-old niece may have them, but recently bangs have become a full-fledged fashion trend.
Her new coif, a sleek shoulder-length cut with thick, heavy bangs…the bang is texturized which gives a softer piecey edge to the normal blunt style. To duplicate:
- wash and condition with Moisture Nourishing Shampoo and Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner
- mist freshly washed hair with Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner, from root to tip
- apply a small amount of Hair Nourishing Cream
- blow out hair with a round brush (for root volume)
- flat iron and style
- finish off with a dab of Nourish & Shine to fight off dullness and enhance shine
Voila, "bangtastic"!

iTabla harp sound
When I'm using iTabla Pro it occasionally plays a sound similar to a harp being strummed. What is that? Can I turn it off?
Re: iTabla harp sound
It's the Swarmandal, you can turn it off in the controls.

There's an unusual thing happening on the City Council: Two of Mayor Meeker's cronies, Councilmen Thomas Crowder and Russell Stephenson, are up in arms about people tearing down old houses to build new ones.
Now, you wouldn't think that would be troubling. It's one way old neighborhoods evolve. It improves property values (having a big new house next door doesn't hurt a bit, except when the city does property tax reevaluations). And neighborhoods that don't rebuild, decline.
It's hard to tell why the Mayor's cronies are upset. About the only reason given in the newspaper – for not replacing old homes with new ones – is a critic saying the new houses block "the sunlight that would come in windows of the older homes."
Whatever their reasons Crowder and Stephenson seem to have some pretty fixed opinions and very few qualms about backing them up with City Ordinances to stop folks who want to replace smaller older houses with bigger, newer ones. Of course, there may be more here than meets the eye. It could be the proposed new ordinances will let Stephenson and Crowder put the brakes on growth in some Raleigh neighborhoods – that, in fact, the proposed ordinances are a sort of moratorium on growth disguised as a neighborhood protection plan.

The front entry porch is framed with two pairs of tapered "Doric" wood columns. After entering the generous foyer, a nook next to a coat closet provides space for a bench, and to the right are a powder room and a stairwell. Just before a door to the screened porch straight ahead, you turn left to enter an open living/hearth room, with a central fireplace to the right and a dining area to the left. Nooks in the dining room create a window niche, and an opportunity to have built–in cabinetry. The room is open to the breakfast room and kitchen, which features a center island with a counter for eating. From the kitchen there is a mud hall, which leads to a laundry room, a mudroom, and a three–car garage.
After coming up the stairs, the master bedroom suite is the first door off of the landing. The master bedroom ceiling slopes up to an 11' flat ceiling, and the master bath has both a shower and a tub. As you walk down the hall you pass two bedrooms, which share a full bath, a fourth bedroom, and another full bath. All four bedrooms feature walk–in closets, providing plenty of storage space. After passing the fourth bedroom, there is a large family room and study, which are built over the garage.
If you choose to finish the lower basement level, a floor plan is provided with a mechanical/storage room, and future family room, bathroom and fifth bedroom.

I am trying to go from 32 bit Vista to 64 bit Windows 7.
The 32 bit Vista was installed by mistake. My system can handle a 64 bit OS. Now I have finally found the time to upgrade. But the 64 bit intallation DVD can't be read from my OS. Any Advice?
Have you tried setting the dvd drive to be the first location in the list of boot locations in the bios and then trying to boot from the dvd?
You need to get into the BIOS and change the boot order so that the machine looks at the DVD drive to start the installation. I suggest you backup all your data, format the hard drive and do a clean Windows installation. Also, are you sure your Windows install DVD is OK? You can legally download Win 7 x64 SP1 from Download Crew, http://www.downloadcrew.com/?act=search&cat=67 then just use your legal Windows 7 serial key.
Boot order is the best way. Same for all other OSs like Linux.
Although the DVD should work fine in Vista, even if it is 32-bit.

Ubuntu and Android Dual Boot
Canonical has released an Ubuntu and Android dual boot preview for developers. This lets developers test the ability to easily boot back and forth between Android and Ubuntu on mobile devices.
We are thrilled to announce a preview of a new feature for developers: Ubuntu on mobile devices can now run alongside Android on a single handset.
Dual boot is not a feature suitable for regular users. It is recommended to be installed only by developers who are comfortable with flashing devices and with their partition layout. Dual boot rewrites the Android recovery partition and those installing it should be intimately familiar with re-flashing it in case something goes wrong.More at Ubuntu Developer
It seems like Canonical is following in Apple's footsteps. This dual boot tool reminds me of OS X's Boot Camp utility. Boot Camp has certainly been a big hit with Mac users, and the option to switch between Ubuntu and Android could work just as well if it's done properly.
It's good that Canonical is warning off non-developers right now since some of them might get themselves into trouble if they don't know how to deal with partitioning or flashing their devices. Still, I suspect there will be some adventurous users out there who will try it anyway.
Is Debian for new linux users?
There's an interesting thread on Reddit about Debian and new Linux users. Should they try to install it?
I am currently on Windows and am looking to install Linux. After some quick searching around, I've concluded that Mint and KUbuntu (not Ubuntu because of Unity, now) are the best for beginners. Debian seems to be a distro of choice for the folks here at /r/linux, but I don't see it recommended to noobs.
Should I still give it a go? I should say I've never installed an OS before, and I have no clue what partitioning is.More at Reddit
Debian has gotten a lot easier to install over the years. The only onion in the ointment I can see for this particular user is partitioning. That can be confusing to some folks who are new to Linux.

Mar 6, 2012 - By Steven R. PeckWyoming wind
We all know the word "hellacious" and how it is used. But is "howlacious" a word? If it is, it would be a good one to describe the wind that ripped across Fremont County during various portionss of the weekend.
There is bound to have been some damage done, but we have little reason to complain when comparing our wind to the deadly, terrifying storms that killed dozens of people in states farther east.
Better yet for Fremont County, when the worst was over in the middle of the night Saturday, Sunday dawned like spring. Keep an ear open for the song of the red-winged blackbird. The season is near.
Page 6, please
In recent weeks we've made mention a few times of our new newspaper production system called "direct to plate." It changes the step between laying out the pages on the computer screen by the editors and producing the aluminum printing plates that go on the press. In fact, the new system eliminates that step.
Thursday was our first day trying it out, meaning Saturday night, when the Sunday paper was being produced, was our third.
And, by now, our sports readers know that a production error, which was related to learning the new system, occurred somewhere along the line.
The result was that page C-6, which contained a full six columns of public notice advertising, was published twice, while page C-4, with pictures and copy about state and regional basketball tournaments for Fremont County high schools, didn't get published at all.
Our apologies for the mistake, particularly at such a high-interest point in the basketball season.
We have expanded our normal allotment of sports, and today's edition carries all the interrupted or omitted stories in their entirety.
Ranger online
Incidentally, Sunday's page 6 appeared as intended on dailyranger.com, the newly redesigned Ranger website that's been up and running for a couple of weeks now.
We hope readers are noticing and enjoying the new dailyranger.com.
What you are seeing now is an unobstructed preview, but it won't last much longer. Shortly we'll be redirecting access to the full site in favor of our paid subscribers, who will have access to everything (we'll be adding some new features for subscribers once the preview period ends).
Non-subscribers wil have access to some of the content, but not as much as the full subscribers do.
Don't worry. Newspaper subscriptions are one of the great informational bargains in existence, and we intend for dailyranger.com to follow that pattern. Be watching in print and online for details about this evolution of the site.
Walk the halls of the big Robert A. Peck Arts Center on the Central Wyoming College campus in Riverton and you'll see framed photographs of all the community theater plays staged there since the facility opened in 1983.
It's a good thing there is a lot of wall space at the arts center, because the college's theater department has mounted a formidable number of shows over the past three decades -- more than 100 of them, in fact. The wall is a nice tribute to them all.
The latest was "Camelot," which concluded Sunday with its seventh performance with a Sunday matinee before a good house. It had all the ingredients of successful community theater: a big cast, an enthusiastic production, an appreciative audience, and a mixture of talent that, under careful, encouraging direction, proved again that it can pull off just about any show with a flair. Well done -- again.
Bob Peck
Today marks the fifth anniversary of the death of Robert A. Peck, the Riverton native who served as publisher of our newspaper for 58 years.
During those decades, stretching for the 1940s to 2007, he also became the community's towering figure of public service and civic leadership, and its great statesman, facts confirmed and reiterated time and again by most who knew and worked with him.
If there is a lesson to carry forward from his example, it is this: Believe in the place you live, and work to make it better.
