Wyoming Library Association Presents Legislature With Award
Wyoming has a proud history of supporting its libraries throughout the state, and in March, the Wyoming Legislature received a special award for that dedication.
The Wyoming Legislature was recognized by the Mountain Plains Library Association (MPLA) for their support of Wyoming libraries with the Legislative Leadership Award. The award honors the development and implementation of the Libraries Funding Amendment passed in 2006 that supports county, college, and the University of Wyoming libraries in purchasing collections.
The award was presented with a standing ovation in both houses, with Sen. Mike Massie (D-Albany) and Rep. Edward Buchanan (R-Goshen) sharing the acknowledgement with their colleagues on their respective floors.
PHOTO CAPTION: Spending time in the Capitol before the presentation before the Wyoming Legislature: Meghan Kelly, Librarian at Laramie County Community College; Brian Greene, Vice President of the Wyoming Library Association; Lesley Boughton, Wyoming State Librarian; Rep. Edward Buchanan (R-Goshen); Maggie Farrell, Dean of Libraries at the University of Wyoming; and Troy Rumpf, Manager of Community Relations at the Laramie County Library System.
State Library receives LSTA funds
The Wyoming State Library receives federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to support databases, continuing education and training, library science resources, and several centralized services for Wyoming libraries. WSL received $820,240 in LSTA funds for federal fiscal year 2007 (Oct. 1, 2006 to Sept 30, 2007). The State Library recently completed its LSTA evaluation for FY03 to FY07; it is available online at http://will.state.wy.us/admin/evaluation2007.pdf. A new five year plan for October 1, 2007 through September 20, 2012 will be submitted to IMLS by June 30.

Buchmeier leaving WSL
Debbie Buchmeier has left the Wyoming State Library after 17 years to work for Cheyenne-based catalog retailer Sierra Trading Post. Buchmeier was a financial/statistical specialist at WSL, working with accounts payable, WYLD billings, barcodes, purchasing, contracts and public library statistics. At Sierra, she will be the new photo/proof coordinator, checking catalog colors before they go to the printer, and coordinating photo shoots and cover art.
With Debbie's departure, Deputy State Librarian Jerry Krois will be the contact for questions on public library statistic and the BiblioStat online statistic survey. Business Manager Joe French will field all other questions previously handled by Debbie.
"It's been great working primarily with numbers over the years," Debbie said, "but now I am looking forward to using the creative side of my brain and seeing what I can do with color. It's been a pleasure working with each of you. Thank you for being a part of my years at the state library."

Bonfire kicks off One Book celebration of Fahrenheit 451
It looked like the White Mountain Library was burning books! Instead, it was a pile of newspapers cut and stitched to look like books as part of Sweetwater County Library System's "One Book: One County" read of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. The community-wide read kicked off January 18, and Vicki Roth reported that the free 'pass-it-on" copies were a "hot" item as well.
Campbell County Public Library System in Gillette recently received the Youth Services Excellence Award from the Mountain Plains Library Association. The MPLA newsletter cites CCPL's recent remodeling of the children's space and its attentiveness to young patrons. For the full story, and a list of all winners, check out the organization's April newsletter at www.mpla.us/documents/newsletter/april2007.pdf.
Teton County Library's program to help minority students prepare for college received the "Jesse Vialpando Spirit and Service Award" March 30 at the University of Wyoming. The award, named for a university and community activist who died at an early age, recognizes individuals who work for social justice. The library's program focuses on helping students tap into library resources in a variety of ways, including researching scholarships, preparing admissions forms, understanding immigration requirements, working with parents and practicing test-taking skills. The library program also offers motivational activities, guidance and coaching.
Also from Teton County, the library will soon launch a five-year demonstration solar project by placing 40 solar panels on its roof this May or June as the first phase in a project to install up to 200 panels. In addition to generating renewable, clean energy, the project aims to shed light on Teton County's potential for solar power by collecting solar data and offering educational programs to the community.
Michaela Kaumo, head of circulation and reference at White Mountain Library, will retire from the Sweetwater County Library System May 31 after 25 years of service. Kaumo started at Rock Springs Library in 1982 and moved to White Mountain Li when it opened in 1987. Michaela was in Tech Services until 1989 when former Head Librarian Paula Koritnik hired her as a reference librarian in 1989. She became Head of Circulation/Reference in 1991. From the library sytem's Link newsletter: "We will certainly feel a void when she leaves. Good Luck, Michaela and from all of us - Enjoy your retirement!"
Also departing from Sweetwater County, Connie Thimm's last day at White Mountain Library was February 1. She will be working on her elementary education degree, a goal she has had for some time. Thimm said, "I will miss the library tremendously but my library card is current and I'll always be a promoter of the libraries. I very much enjoyed working with everyone."
Two Wyoming library workers were named as "Stars" as part of the American Library Association - Allied Professional Association's National Library Workers Day celebration April 17. Mikki Thomas from Gillette and Liz Gaines from Hulett were called out for their service. Read about them and about other library "Stars" across the country until June 30 at http://www.ala-apa.org/about/nlwdstars.html.

Since becoming a mom and working part-time rather than full-time, I've discovered new and exciting places that Tucson has to offer, while also visiting well-known landmarks more often.
Being able to spend more time at home with my 15-month-old son, Zachary, I find myself planning "mini-field trips" throughout the workweek. These outings are not only fun, but they come without the hectic and busy atmosphere of the weekend. Here's what we've done recently:
• My family has a membership to the Reid Park Zoo, and Zachary and I visit often with our friends. We look forward to strolling through the zoo at our leisure. The kids get a kick out of feeding the giraffes, and the grassy play area is wide open for our toddlers to run around without losing sight of them. What tends to be a congested attraction on the weekend is calm during the week.
• From one animal stop to another: As part of a local moms group, there are a variety of events to attend. One of them is TRAK - Therapeutic Ranch for Animals and Kids at 3230 N. Craycroft Road (traktucson.org). I'd never heard of TRAK, and I definitely look forward to going back.
Upon arriving, we were greeted by friendly dogs before catching a hayride around the farm. Visitors were free to get an up-close look at furry and feathery friends. We petted horses, goats and sheep, were awed by the ducks and got close to a cow and a pig. Rabbits were in walk-in cages, and the kids fed and petted the friendly animals. They could also play with young chickens.
With a great environment and very knowledgeable staff, TRAK, which hosts field trips, is fun and educational for adults and kids.
• Park dates are always exciting. Some of our favorites on the east side are McDonald, Udall and Agua Caliente. Agua Caliente Park doesn't have a playground, but it does have a natural spring, ducks and turtles, and it makes for a great picnic site.
Bring a ball to throw or watch the dogs run with their owners - that sure brings joy to my toddler.
• Snow on Mount Lemmon is a seasonal favorite. Take a day to enjoy the frigid temperatures while playing in the fluffy white stuff. My husband, Shane, Zachary and I, along with Shane's parents, trekked up the mountain on a recent Friday morning. We came across only a few cars, and once at Ski Valley, we easily found parking. Hopping out to play in the snow, we enjoyed our own private patch to play in. Service at the Iron Door Restaurant for lunch proved speedy and pleasant.
• Another fun destination is the pet store. We've walked up and down the aisles of nearby shops, checking out tank after tank of colorful fish, cages of rabbits and pens full of pouncing puppies. Once inside a pet store, many opportunities await for learning about various animals.
• Who could forget the mall? Zachary likes riding in his stroller, and he also loves walking. We stroll up and down, stopping in at a store here or there. Roaming with me while watching shoppers is entertaining for my toddler.
• The city's Parks and Recreation Department offers a nearly endless array of classes. Zachary and I have a great time at Movers and Shakers, which includes circle time with music, obstacle courses, gym equipment, a giant parachute and tumbling fun.
• If you're looking for a quiet place, head to your nearest library. A couple of my friends and I took our toddlers to check out the kids section recently. Puzzles were available to put together, and we flipped through a few board books. The library must have a calming effect on those who enter - our tots were quiet, chattering in soft voices, while inside.
I hope this sampling of local mini-field trips is helpful to parents looking for new things to do and fun places to go.

BOYBAND The Risk and Johnny Robinson were last night booted out of the show in a controversial double elimination, after favourite for the axe Frankie Cocozza survived the public vote.
In a shock eviction, show favourites The Risk were automatically axed from the contest after polling the lowest number of public votes, leaving controversial Kitty Brucknell and Johnny to sing for survival.
The Risk's axing sparked shock from fans of the show, who quickly took to the internet to voice their opinions, with many including football ace Wayne Rooney stunned that Frankie had survived in their place.
Speaking to host Dermot O'Leary after the result was announced, the foursome vowed to stay together as a group and thanked their mentor Tulisa Contostavlos, who looked stunned and upset by the result.
In a sing-off Johnny, 45, performed classic Unchained Melody while Kitty, 26, produced an impressive rendition of Kelly Clarkson's Beautiful Disaster to survive the judges vote, despite being amongst the bookies' favourites to go.
The judges unanimously voted to send club singer Johnny home, with Kitty leaving the stage in floods of tears, while the evicted hopeful thanked the judges and viewers for his experience.
After being forced to make a difficult decision and evict one of his own acts, Louis struggled to choke back tears as he tipped Johnny to have a successful career in the future, while he graciously added: "I'd really like to say a big thank you to everyone out there who accepted me for just being myself."
Last night's result leaves Louis and Tulisa with just one act remaining in the contest, while Gary and Kelly still have their original three hopefuls in contention.
A backstage source said: "Kitty was inconsolable backstage after surviving the vote-off. She feels terrible that Johnny had to go, and the emotional strain of finding herself in the sing-off again has really taken its toll on her.
"She was shaking almost uncontrollably and needed a lot of comforting before she calmed down. The contest is really starting to hit her hard now."

Bush Expected to Propose New Aid for Palestinians (REUTERS) By Adam Entous WASHINGTON Additional reporting by Arshad Mohammed and Anna Willard 02/02/05 05:58 PM ET)
Source: http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=7518471
Reuters News Service
Reuters News Service Articles-Index-Top
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush plans in his State of the Union address on Wednesday to pledge greater assistance for the Palestinians, including a financial aid package that could total nearly $350 million to bolster development and security, sources familiar with the plan said.
The announcement would highlight Bush´s support for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, elected last month to replace Yasser Arafat, whom Bush shunned as an obstacle to peace until his death.
Sources said U.S. aid would help the Palestinians prepare for Israel´s withdrawal from Gaza later this year, and is expected to be tied to Palestinian efforts in stopping violence and carrying out reforms.
Earlier this week, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice held out the possibility of U.S. support to train and equip Palestinian forces. She will visit the region next week.
Most of the American money is expected to flow through nongovernmental organizations because key U.S. lawmakers are wary of providing direct aid to the Palestinians.
Following Arafat´s death, Bush provided $20 million directly to the Palestinian Authority, but on condition that the money be used to pay Israeli utility bills.
Rep. Jim Kolbe, who chairs the House of Representatives subcommittee overseeing foreign aid, said he expected Bush to request Palestinian funds on Wednesday night, and predicted it would pass Congress.
"I think it will be controversial but I think we can get it through," the Arizona Republican said.
Edward Walker, president of the Middle East Institute and former assistant Secretary of State for near eastern affairs, said he regarded the money -- if announced -- as a gesture of support for Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen.
"It is a measure of (their) effort to avoid what happened the last time, when Abu Mazen became prime minister, in which nobody did anything for him and he quickly lost credibility and couldn´t stand up to Arafat," Walker said.
It was not immediately clear whether the new aid package -- which sources said would total close to $350 million -- would include the $75 million in aid that the United States already provides annually in the West Bank and Gaza.
Under the new aid proposal, Bush would include around $200 million for the Palestinians in his $80 billion package to fund military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, sources said.
The rest of the money is expected to come from funds set aside under an agreement reached in 1998, the sources said.
Israel, which already receives about $3 billion a year in U.S. aid, is asking the United States to help pay for new crossing points along its barrier with Palestinian areas. Sources said Israel wants Washington to contribute an estimated $180 million toward the $450 million project.
Bush strongly supports Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon´s plan to evacuate all 8,000 settlers from Gaza and a few hundred of the 230,000 in the West Bank later this year under an Israeli "disengagement" plan.
Bush has approached European leaders in recent days to coordinate efforts to restart peace talks since Arafat´s death, and has backed British plans for a Middle East conference aimed at fostering Palestinian reforms.
The World Bank says the Palestinians could expect an extra $500 million a year in vital aid if violence stopped and there was progress toward peace with Israel. (Additional reporting by Arshad Mohammed and Anna Willard) (© Reuters 2005 02/02/05)

Obama Promise a Boost to RWJF's Jobs to Careers Program
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Jobs to Careers (J2C) program recently got a shot in the arm from President Obama's new project—the Community College Challenge Fund, part of the American Graduation Initiative. J2C works with employers and colleges to help frontline health care workers obtain undergraduate degrees and career training.
"Not since the passage of the original GI Bill and the work of President Truman's Commission on Higher Education—which helped double the number of community colleges and increase by sevenfold enrollment in those colleges—have we taken such a historic step on behalf of community colleges in America," President Obama said.
The Challenge Fund will accomplish its goals by increasing federal funding for community colleges to increase their effectiveness and graduation rates. "The president's assessment of the importance of these educational institutions is a good one," said Maria Flynn, director of J2C and vice president of Jobs for the Future. "The shifts we are witnessing in the U.S. economy are transformative and require bold, new responses."
Community colleges are the critical link between the J2C program and health care industry employers. They make the J2C program possible by creating innovative curriculums designed to allow frontline health care workers to earn degrees and develop new skills through work-based learning and worksite education programs. The Challenge Fund will help colleges offer these students increased financial and academic resources.
"J2C's work-based learning approach represents a new way to meet the needs of workers and the demands of the market place. I'm hopeful this model can be scaled-up through the investments of the American Graduation Initiative," Flynn said.
RWJF collaborates with The Hitachi Foundation and the U.S. Department of Labor to fund J2C. Jobs for the Future, a Boston-based not-for-profit advocacy organization, manages the national program.

Northern Taiwan
Northern Taiwan is home to the Atayal and Saisiyat indigenous tribes. Ancestor worship is deeply embedded in Atayal culture, as can be observed during the annual Ancestor Worship Ceremony from August to October. Traditionally, the women of this tribe would be tattooed with a V-shaped mainly design to mark the accomplishment of their weaving skills, while forehead and chin tattoos marked men as warriors who have come of age.
The Saisiyat are evenly distributed throughout Taiwan. The tribe is distinguished by family names, which reflect a close connection to nature, as well as a culture of facial tattooing. The tribe's main annual festival is the Dwarf Spirit Ceremony during the 10th lunar month.

Okay, it's been about a month since i lost about half a gig of data to corruption and have changed my ways of storing my data. Never again do I want to go through the horror of not being able to open up my fla files. Luckily most of my data remained intact and i only lost a few files and a quater of a gig of emails.
When my files got corrupted, I was only using a single 250GB Portable USB HDD (stupid me). I see it that i was fortunately caught out pretty early in my freelancing career and only one client FLA was corrupted. * phew *
Since then I have created an account on Amazon AWS S3 and am continually backing up my data to that server. Additionally i have purchased the 2TB WD Mybook Mirror edition, which is configured to RAID1 Mirroring, which means both 1TB drives have exactly the same data incase one of them fails.
My Documents are all read written to the WD drive, then are backed up from that location. The latest 3 versions of each file are alll sent to the external 250GB Drive.
To make it easier to understand, here is an overview image i have created of how all my data is now organised, (yes I got a bit carried away):
Basicall, my main documents are now stored in 4 locations at once One of which has the latest 3 copies of each file.
The purpose of this thread is to share stories, advice and basically any information about how you guys store your digital data. It would be interesting to include your prefered brands, favourite off-site storage solutions and any interesting digital horror stories you have ever encountered, or have happened to you.
I personally will never make the mistake on relying on one HDD again!
Nice graphic!
At the moment I only have the files on my main drive in the iMac and then a Time Machine backup on my 1TB WD external HD. I'm probably going to start to use Amazon S3 later this year/early next year once I figure out how the pricing works!

Nearly a year of investigation and hundreds of hours spent by Flathead County attorneys on the Dick Dasen case yielded a sentence of two years at the Montana State Prison in Deer Lodge and 18 years probation on Monday.
Dasen was convicted of three counts of felony prostitution, one count of misdemeanor prostitution, one count of felony sexual abuse of children and one count of promotion of prostitution in May.
The sentence recommended by Dave Castro, the Flathead County parole and probation officer, was 20 years, with only 10 suspended.
But both Deputy County Attorney Dan Guzynski and Kalispell Police Chief Frank Garner say the sentence meted out by District Judge Stewart Stadler was fair.
Under Montana law, according to Guzynski, judges are directed not to give extended prison time to nonviolent offenders.
Two years, Guzynski felt, was appropriate. Under the recommended stiffer sentence, Dasen would have been eligible for parole after two and a half years, but could have stayed in prison longer at the discretion of the parole board. And that sentence, Guzynski says, could have been overturned more easily on appeal. The sentence Dasen actually received, Guzynski thinks, is likely to stick. Either way, Dasen lawyer George Best indicated he plans to appeal.
Chief Garner was also satisfied with the sentence, pointing out that Dasen, now 63, will be in prison until he is 65, and will then be on probation during 18 years of suspended sentence. As a condition of Dasen's suspended sentence, he'll be allowed no unsupervised contact with females outside his family, and he will no longer be allowed to provide loans.
Garner also notes that Dasen will be required to register as a sex offender and must complete a sex offender treatment program.
"That can't be an easy sentence," Garner says.

Technical Abstract: Salinity is the most prevalent problem in irrigated agriculture. The success of genetic improvement for salt tolerance in rice cultivars through traditional breeding is limited in the previous years. This study was designed to evaluate genetic variation among rice genotypes with different performance under salt stress using microsatellite markers. Rice germplasm introduced from different regions were grown in sand tanks in greenhouse and irrigated with nutrient solutions. Plants were measured for agronomic and morphological characters under salt stressed and controlled conditions. Genomic DNA was extracted and amplified using published microsatellite primers. The amplified PCR products were separated in denaturing acrylamide gels and stained using a silver sequencing system (Promega). The data of both microsatellite markers and morphological characters among genotypes were analyzed using the NTSYS-pc statistical package. The genotypes were clustered based on the microsatellite markers using the method of UPGMA. The means of the morphological characters were compared among the clusters by microsatellite markers. The cluster means were significant for the most of the characters investigated. The related results and their implication for salt tolerance breeding were discussed.

Hi I'm a 27 yr old woman with 3kids. My oldest is 12yrs old my baby is 3yrs old.I was interested in a bbl for some hips and some plumpness to my butt but I also feel like due to havin kids my stomach isn't as firm so after gettin lipo I think a tummy tuck will be much needed . Is it safe to perform 3 procedures at one time...n roughly how much will this cost me. I'm ready to have this done by december/january so by the summer I can be healed. Any advice

Doctor Answers 6
Multiple Procedurs
It is safe to have multiple procedures at the same time, but it depends on the type of procedures and the anatomy of the patient. I do not recommend tummy tuck and Brazilian Butt Lift at the same time because for the BBL you do not want to rest or lay on your butt or back side and with the tummy tuck, you will be bent you are waist and will be in a seated position. So, the recovery for each procedure is different. I would suggest doing the tummy tuck first and then returning 6 weeks to three months later for the BBL.
Good Luck.

Brazilian Butt Lift
Combination surgery including tummy tuck, liposuction and BBL is possible, and is done frequently. However the safety of combination procedures depend on your general health and any associated diseases or conditions. Your Family Physician should do a complete history and physical examination and blood work, he/she should clear you for surgery and your plastic surgeon should assess you and decide if you are a good candidate for combination surgery. For safety, your procedures should be done at an accredited facility and your surgeon should be Board Certified By the American Board od plastic surgery.
Bbl, Liposculture, N Possible Tummy Tuck..I Need Answers! All Three Safe To Do At Once?
Tummy tuck, liposuction and Fat transfer to buttock are commonly performed at the same setting without any complications. However your doctor has to check you are not overweight, in good health condition and excellent hemoglobin level.

Bbl, Liposculture, N Possible Tummy Tuck..I Need Answers! All Three Safe To Do At Once?
I perform hundreds of tummy tucks, liposuction procedures, and Brazilian buttlifts each year, and combining a tummy tuck with the liposuction and BBL can be performed safely in less than 4 hours. I do it on a regular basis. I perform about 500 Brazilian buttlifts each year, and this procedure is the most surgeon dependent plastic surgery procedure. About 25% of my patients have had previous liposuction and Brazilian buttlifts. So it is important to get it right the first time. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts, liposuction procedures, and tummy tucks each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Combination surgeries for tummy tuck and Brazilian butt lift.
Thank you for your questions. Tummy tuck, liposuction, Brazilian buttock lift are commonly performed at the same setting. To consider this combination you need to be an appropriate candidate and in good health. You'll need a surgeon to evaluate you to make sure that this combination can be done safely. Some surgeons do not perform tummy tuck and Brazilian butt lift on the same day because they feel that sitting on the buttocks after tummy tuck can diminish the amount of fat that will stay alive. I personally feel that is a shame to waste the fat in the lower abdomen when doing the tummy tuck if the patient wants a buttock lift, so I perform them together as do many other surgeons. With good pillows and padding pressure can still be taken off the buttocks. Best wishes.

Depend on your blood cell count and your general health condiction
i think if you are in a good health condiction and your hemoglobin's level is ok those procedures can be done at the same time just look for a certified plastic surgeon and go ahead, good luck!!

Pizza Spoon Appetizer
Want to add a little bit of fun to your appetizer table? Well HERE it is! Now that you have the idea the combinations are limitless and don't just think pizza you could use these cute spoons for a cheese spread or a great Italian dip! Use pie crust for something sweet. I think I forgot to mention that these were DELICIOUS!
Pizza Spoon Appetizer Recipe (Makes 24-26)
1 Pillsbury ready made pizza dough
1 to 2 teaspoons dried Italian herb blend (seasoning)
cooking spray
1 small jar pizza sauce
1 small bag mini pepperoni
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
spoon template
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Print out the Pizza Spoon Appetizer Template on card stock, choose the size of spoon you'd like your appetizer to be and cut out. The pizza dough doesn't expand that much so the spoon size you choose will be close to the size of your appetizer. I chose the second from the end going from right to left and thought it was the perfect size.
Roll the pizza dough out to a 11×14 inch rectangle. Sprinkle the dried Italian herb blend over the entire surface of the dough and press in. Lay the spoon cut out onto the pizza dough and trace around using a small pizza cutter or I used a small pie crust cutter. I first tried a paring knife and if didn't cut as clean.
Lay cut spoons on a cookie sheet sprayed with non stick cooking spray. Press down in the center of the spoon to make an indention and prick with a fork.
Bake for 3 minutes, take out of the oven and press down again using a small spoon and bake for an additional 2 minutes. Add toppings: 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce, 1 tablespoon shredded cheese, 3 mini pepperoni rounds and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes. NOTE: I baked them for an additional 10 minutes and they got a little darker then I wanted. They still tasted amazing so you be the judge as to how dark you'd like your spoons. TIP: I used scissors to cut away the cheese that had fallen on the sides and onto the cookie sheet. It gives the spoons a nice finished look. This is a LBC Original!

text: It's almost the halfway point of the NFL season, and the college season is well past that. So we thought it a good time to look ahead to next year's NFL Draft. It might seem a bit early, but it's never too early for draft gossip in this space. Initial impressions from the potential 2005 draft crop: There will be some quality quarterbacks going early, especially if juniors Matt Leinart of Southern California and Aaron Rodgers of Cal come out as expected. Once again, the receiver position is a good one, with Michigan's Braylon Edwards and Mike Williams of USC -- you remember him, right? -- topping the list. Corners and defensive ends will again be tough to find. There will be some good backs. With that, here's a look at our top 10 players heading into the latter part of the college season. Miami's Antrel Rolle might be the lone future star at cornerback in next year's draft. (Getty Images) Antrel Rolle, CB, Miami: Teams are always searching for quality cover corners, and Rolle is that. At 6-feet, 205 pounds, he has the size teams want from a corner and a propensity for making big plays. He did a wonderful job on Larry Fitzgerald last year when the 'Canes played Pittsburgh. He doesn't have blazing speed, getting timed at 4.5 this spring, but he plays faster. He did have an off-field incident this summer, but it was out of character, and word is this is a good kid. Aaron Rodgers, QB, California: This is one of the fastest risers on the board. Cal coach Jeff Tedford, who has worked with Joey Harrington and Trent Dilfer and other quality passers, said this is the best quarterback he has had. Rodgers is mobile, which NFL teams love, and he has a feel for the passing game. He's a junior, but indications are he will leave school -- especially if he is ranked this high. Erasmus James, DE, Wisconsin: After an injury-marred 2003 season, James has come on to be the best outside pass rusher in this draft. He is also a quality run player. That combination should push him high into the first round, after not being ranked as a first-day pick by the scouting services entering the season. This type of player is hard to find, which is why there is such a premium placed on the position. Alex Barron, T, Florida State: At 6-7, 323 pounds, Barron has the powerful build teams crave from their tackles. But he's also light on his feet, showing the ability to excel in pass protection, while also having the power to dominate in the run game. Another in the recent line of quality tackles to come out of FSU, including Seattle's Walter Jones and Philadelphia's Tra Thomas. Braylon Edwards, WR, Michigan: At 6-2, 209, Edwards has the size teams love, plus speed (4.45). What's more, he plays that fast, which isn't always the case with receivers. He is polished and has made major strides as a senior after a good junior year. His speed makes him the likely first receiver off the board next spring. He is the son of former NFL fullback Stanley Edwards. Carnell Williams, RB, Auburn: The "Cadillac" should be the first back taken. He has good size, at 5-11, 210 pounds, and breakaway speed, getting timed at 4.46 this spring. The thing that stands out about him, though, is his ability to make people miss in traffic. He has a wonderful ability to make cuts. Ronnie Brown, RB, Auburn: The "other" back at Auburn, Brown is a quite a complement to Williams. Like Williams, he has great speed, getting timed at 4.40 in the spring. At 231 pounds, he is a little bigger than Williams, although he isn't as shifty. He blocks better, which pro scouts will like. Matt Leinart, QB, Southern California: This is a player that will be dissected a bunch if he does decide to come out. Some scouts question his arm strength, while others wonder if he's a product of a great team. Leinart has a good feel for the passing game, which shows up on tape. He knows where to go with the football, which is half the battle for a young NFL passer. His stock will rise much like that of Philip Rivers a year ago if he does enter the draft. He just makes plays. Thomas Davis, S, Georgia: A big, physical safety who is a junior but surely on his way into this draft. Davis has played linebacker as well at Georgia, but he runs well enough to be a Pro Bowl safety. Watch the Bulldogs play. He's all over the field. A minor injury two weeks ago could have an impact on his decision to come out.

He has played much better as a senior than he did last year as a junior. There were some scouts who wondered if he was tough enough a year ago, but he seems to have cooled some of that talk. He has great range, which teams love from their linebackers in this era of wide-open football. Possible breakthroughs: Andrew Walter, QB, Arizona State; Rod Wright, DT, Texas (Jr.); Mike Williams, WR, USC; Cedric Benson, RB, Texas; David Pollack, DE, Georgia; Marlin Jackson, S, Michigan. Players we really like (maybe more than the scouts): James; Davis; Mark Clayton, WR, Oklahoma; Mike Patterson, DT, USC; Darnell Bing, S, USC (third-year sophomore); Dan Cody, DE, Oklahoma; Kyle Orton, QB, Purdue; Bryant McFadden, CB, Florida State; Ernest Shazor, S, Michigan (Jr.); Mercedes Lewis, TE, UCLA (Jr.); Brandon Browner, CB, Oregon State (third-year sophomore); Jamaal Brown, T, Oklahoma There was talk the Cowboys would be turning to Drew Henson at quarterback in the coming weeks. And Henson would not have been alone if the Cowboys did not win last week against the Lions. The word is the Cowboys are planning to go to a bunch of younger players if and when they are eliminated from playoff contention. But with a game at Cincinnati this week and a home game next Monday against the Eagles, the Cowboys feel now they can get back into things with consecutive victories. If they lose those games, look for Henson and some younger players to get more time as things are retooled for next season. The Cowboys have two first-round picks next year -- theirs and Buffalo's -- so they have a chance to get two quality players. The Bills' pick could be in the top 10. When the Bengals meet the Cowboys on Sunday, it will pit Chad Johnson against cousin Keyshawn Johnson, which reminds me of a conversation I had with Keyshawn last summer. While chatting up the league -- and Keyshawn is one of the best at that -- I mentioned the perception is that Chad is better than Keyshawn. "Man, do you know how much of his yardage he gets after the game has been decided?" Keyshawn said then. "They're always behind. That's why he gets a lot of numbers." That might have been the case at the time of that conversation, but it's not anymore. Chad Johnson is better than Keyshawn now. And it's not close. We will say this, though: Keyshawn has played well for the Cowboys.

The workshop will be split into three strategy segments: buying Florida real estate, defending Florida foreclosures, and investors looking for opportunities. Attendees will leave with Oppenheim's Top 10 Tips to Survive in Today's Florida Real Estate Market.
For example: In a recent article in the Daily Business Review about the Florida Supreme Court's foreclosure task force Oppenheim commended the task force for recommending mandatory mediation.
"One of the big problems that borrowers have had is getting in touch with an intelligent human being who has authority at the bank," Oppenheim commented in the article. "Most of the time you're dealing with people just pushing paper."
The 53-page report starts off by describing the Florida foreclosure crisis and recession as a massive traffic jam during rush hour, in a thunderstorm during hurricane evacuation with a lane closed due to construction.

Armored Princess - Review @ GameBanshee
by Dhruin, 2009-12-16 12:07:27
GameBanshee has kicked up their review of Armoured Princess with a three-page article. They seem to have dropped the scores but the text is quite positive:
Armored Princess is a tactical turn-based RPG sequel of sorts to King's Bounty: The Legend, released just over a year ago. GameBanshee gave the original a 9.3 in a thorough review, so how does Armored Princess fare? While it uses the same engine, many of the same monsters, and much of the same music, Armored Princess is still a full-length game with an original story and innumerable small and medium-sized changes since its predecessor. Fortunately, they're nearly all for the better, making Armored Princess well worth your time and this series one that you shouldn't miss.

You don't have to go to the gym to get a workout that will make you sweat, burn calories and get your heart pumping. Do a double-duty workout by spending 30 to 60 minutes a day tending to home repairs and maintenance.
Even the American Medical Association ranks house painting, mowing the lawn, cleaning and gardening right up there with swimming, jogging and dancing as exercises that can help you get in shape.
Consider how many calories you burn during the hour it takes you to clean your home's gutters: more than 250 for an average-size guy. Sand your wood floors with a sander, and you'll use 237 more every hour you work.
How many times have you put off chores like these because you don't have time? Consider that in less time than it takes you to suit up for the gym, drive there, ride a stationary bike for 30 minutes (burns around 260 calories at a moderate pace) and lift weights for half an hour (112 calories), and then drive home, you can start building a fence (423 calories an hour) or digging a sandbox for your kids (nearly 300 calories an hour).
The more vigorous the activity, of course, the better the burn. Repairs involving hammering, reaching and carrying heavy objects will use more calories, get your heart pumping faster and help build muscle.
If getting your body and heart in shape by getting your house in shape sounds more appealing than buying a gym membership, devise a strategy for making it part of your workout plan. Here are 10 tips.
1. You can learn how many calories any do-it-yourself activity will burn by using an online calorie calculator.
2. Doing manual labor will serve up a better workout than using power tools to do the same job. For example, an average-size man will burn around 237 calories trimming shrubs with a manual cutter, but only 169 calories using a power cutter.
3. If you and your spouse are competing to see who can lose the most weight this year without going to the gym, level the playing field. The more you weigh and the taller you are, the more calories you'll burn doing the same task for the same amount of time as someone smaller. Same goes if one of you is older: Younger DIYers burn calories quicker.
MORE WEIGHT-LOSS TIPS: Weight-Loss Challenge index
4. Fitness experts say you should work out for 30 to 60 minutes every day for optimum benefits. But that doesn't mean you have to sweat continuously during that time. Even small spurts of exertion are good for your heart and your waistline.
5. Just as you would if you were working out at the gym, warm up before you start your carpentry or roofing or painting project, and cool down afterward. Warming up will help prevent injuries. And if you're doing strenuous exercise like cutting the grass, raking leaves or chipping concrete, it's important to warm up and cool down your heart before and after the workout.
6. Likewise, work your way up to the most vigorous projects, especially if you're out of shape. Diving right into a heart-pounding activity like hauling concrete blocks from the street to your backyard can put too much stress on a body that's not used to heavy lifting.
7. Get into the habit of doing a job yourself instead of asking your spouse or kids to lend a hand.
8. Some of the chores you already do are good for your heart and other muscles, like cleaning the house and washing clothes, which tone the thighs and improve flexibility.
9. Take a page from professional contractors who are trained to lift with their legs rather than bending over and straining their backs. Wear a back-supporting brace when doing heavy lifting or jobs that require a lot of bending.
10. If you're out of shape, consult with your doctor before you start any kind of exercise program or take on a physically demanding home-repair project.

Re: st: Interpretation of interaction term in nonlinear models
Thu, 30 May 2013 10:52:45 -0400
Dear Maarten and fellow Statalisters,
I actually had a related question as to whether there might be a
similar (one-sentence) interpretation in case of a three-way
interaction between the same categorical variable, the continuous
variable with another categorical variable (0/1). Of course, I can and
have used -margins - with -marginsplot- to show how the interaction
effects differ in the presence of this categorical variable, but I was
wondering if I could get some help with an easier interpretation. The
coefficient of the three-way interaction term (standardized continuous
by categorical by categorical) in the fixed effects Poisson regression
with the -irr- option is 0.74 and in the probability metric form is
-0.21. Once again, thank you very much for the help!

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
How is the vision in the affected eye with your backup glasses on?
Are you available to chat?
My vision is fine, but my eye is irritated and can barely keep itself open for too long.
Well, one of the possible things that is going on with your eye is a corneal ulcer. This is common in folks who wear contact lenses and it can be very, very serious. Left untreated it goes from bad to very bad quickly.
You might also only have corneal abrasion from the contact lens -- a scratch on your eye.
Unfortunately, the only way to tell these two apart -- one which can lead to blindness and one that is no big deal and heals on it's own in many cases -- is with a complete eye exam.
I think you should have someone take you to the Emergency Room and have this checked out tonight. An exam by an ER doctor is not as good as one by an ophthalmologist (but they may have one on call who can see you in the ER) but it will at least get you started on treatment if necessary.
Does this make sense to you?
You're kinda of young to spend the rest of your life looking at the world with just one good eye :(
Are you still there?
And, now, the obligatory word from our sponsors: :o)
I hope that this information was helpful for you. Please, allow me get credit for my time and effort in assisting you and please give me positive feedback for this assist. I will be glad to answer additional questions until you are satisfied. Thank you very much. Positive Feedback and/or Bonus is welcomed and appreciated.
I guess that you have stepped away from your computer. I'll switch over to the Q&A system. This system works a lot like 'text messaging' but an email is sent to each of us anytime something is posted to this thread. We can continue to work on your question there..... :)

Good old Phil, over at Make it Great!, tagged me to write about a song that makes my heart sing.
Hmmm...I'm not much of a music buff, although I love listening to the radio when I'm in my car, and I'm a devout fan of musicals. (why don't guys like musicals? muscials are energetic, exciting, full of great music, and while the plotlines aren't always of the highest caliber, they make for good watching)
Well, back to Phil and his 'tag'... I have so many songs that touch my heart, it will be really hard to choose just one. But, I will.
The song I'm choosing is from Rascal Flats. Yes, I'm a big country fan and Rascal Flats is one of my favorites. This particular song means a lot to me because it really speaks to my life, the one I have now, today. When I heard this song...way back about 5 years ago (not sure on that date, but it's pretty close) it made me stop in my tracks. I've had some challenges in the past - and, I felt this song really got to the heart of how I felt, at that time.)
I offer you, "I'm Movin' On" by the Rascal Flats. (note: I've moved on... but, this song still lights up my day, because it serves to remind me of why and how I moved on...to be where I am now.)
- Rascal Flatts Lyrics
So, let's hear from my friends Andy, and Susan, and Greg, and Laura.

"It is counterproductive to any improvement in the child protection system to be dogged by such ill-informed and irresponsible comment. We must get beyond the culture of blaming."
Judge Coate "categorically" rejected Professor Scott's assertion that the court was "championing the interests of parents" at the expense of children.
She said figures showed that in 2000 to 2001 the court granted about 99 per cent of the 2471 protection applications sought by the Department of Human Services.
But Professor Scott said the problem was not in the number of applications granted but in the type of orders made by magistrates. She said the state's most abused children were continually coming before the court only to be placed under supervision and returned to their families.
"It's a revolving door. After repeated attempts at reunification fail, permanent care orders get made when the children are about eight or nine or 10. And by then they're too damaged."
The problem had been revealed in a report on permanent care she prepared last year for the Department of Human Services, Professor Scott said.

Just one suggestion for future proofing.
The very first thing you do in the script is statically assign an IP to $HOST. I suggest that you try to nslookup or host lookup the info and failing that use the hardcoded IP. That way if DNS is available and there's a change in the future you don't have any need to update the script and if DNS is not available it tries the hardcoded value.
And a question about the sleeps:
Your ifs around the destination directory check/creation all end in sleep 2, then the next line that runs is a sleep 2, is there any point to the embedded sleeps when the next line in normal flow is sleep? (Note: This isn't meant as a "you messed it up" comment, rather I'm wondering if there really was some type of timing issue with the run of the script).

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: OIL ON SPARK PLUGS?? on 1993 BMW 325is
first things first. i frikken LOVE this car... i bought it as my first car.. sure it has some problems that i cope with but doesnt seem to affect much. after i bought it there were 2 oil leaks. one from the shift shaft seal which only ran me 200 bucks to replace. and another from some weird bolt i had found on the side of my engine. i simply tightend that with a creset wrench to fix it. but today was unusual. i decided to change my spark plugs. and on the third one startinf from the front end of my car working my way back. the third one had oil in it??? i am not so sure what this means but would it be the reason why my car has irregular idle sometimes, that and lack of power on acceleration? i also noticed a heavy smell of fumes before i changed my spark plugs. any info would be helpfull please leave comments id love to be able to keep my car.

Most likely your valve cover tube seals are leaking, oil gets in there and then creats a miss fire on that cylinder. Most likely you need valve cover gaskets replaced should fix your problems. Hope this helps Thanks Brian at Sidework Performance

Muppets Spoof "The Green Lantern"
Posted Thursday June 16, 2011 7:09 PM GMT
It's no secret that "The Green Lantern" is getting all kinds of buzz, and now the "Muppets" movie is capitalizing on the hype.
The latest trailer has been released, dubbed "Being Green," and Kermit the Frog does his best to channel the energy of Ryan Reynolds.
Of course, star Jason Segel seems to be growing tired of the constant parody trailers, and finally speaks up halfway through.
The "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" stud declares, "Is this another Muppet trailer parody? Why don't we just show a real trailer? I mean, what are we hiding? Did we make the movie in Swedish or something?"

Bodega Bay Stole
This elegant rectangular stole was inspired by the original movie advertisement posters for Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (which is set on Bodega Bay) and the sophisticated costume designs of Edith Head. The stole features three different-sized, wing-shaped motifs, including a tail-wing-shaped scalloped edging. It is knit in two halves from each end, and then grafted in the middle. The lace patterning is elegant and simple, and because there is no shaping, it would be a great first lace project.
The pattern may be adjusted for length by working less repeats of any of the three lace motifs. Any fingering-weight yarn with a nice drape may be substituted, but choose something without too much halo, so the lace patterns will show to best advantage.

The last word, Summer 2011
Let us build together
UU World Magazine Summer 2011 , published by the Unitarian Universalist Association
Seeing that we are compassed round by so great a cloud of witnesses, the great of past and present and all the humble heroes who worked and sacrificed beside them, who, indeed, held up their hands and made strong their voices, let us now, in our own day, lay aside every weight of selfishness and fear and take up with faith and joy the urgent tasks to which this historic hour has summoned us. Let us together build the free and universal church of tomorrow.
—UUA Service of Consolidation, May 23, 1960
From the worship service celebrating the vote by the joint assemblies of the Universalist Church of America and the American Unitarian Association to create the Unitarian Universalist Association. The UUA was born May 15, 1961; it will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary this summer.
