Don't it Always Seem to Go
The few locals that are there think of it as a buncha danged weeds.
We stopped, on the way, for a soda and some peanuts. (The Prius did not need any gas.) The pasty and sad looking girl at the checkout asked us where we were from. When we said Austin, she nearly melted with longing and jealousy, for to a rural Texan adolescent, Austin is heaven. She saw Irene's SLR and asked if we had stopped to take pitchers of Spur. (Indeed, we were in Spur, Texas, not far by West Texas standards from Bob Wills' hometown of Turkey Texas.)
I said that, no, we were taking pictures of the countryside, and I expressed my deep appreciation for its beauty. (I'm not poet enough to express my feelings in text very well. I might have gotten choked up a bit as I expressed my admiration for the countryside.)
The young woman regarded me as if I were mad, to leave Austin to dally among the weeds of the Texas Panhandle.
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They've paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

A quick Google News Search gives me four hits: one from MSNBC, one from France 24 and the others from Poland & Greece. The MSNBC story is from FT.com (Financial Times, London), and two of the others use the same feed.
I would suggest that the announcement will get a great deal more play when the G8 meeting is in progress.

Thanks for trying, but of the hits you found, only the France24 one refers to the document in question, i.e., the joint statement of the academies of science, talking clear sense.
I personally have not heard of France24, so I remain in a peculiar state of mostly believing and definitely wanting to believe, but not actually having enough confidence to quote the document in a formal setting.

When youre online dating, there are several conversations holding place simultaneously.
We go on so many initial dates they tend to fuzz together.
It sounds horrible, though it's a cold law of how dating operates in this day and age.
We know what we are looking for, though simply remove steer of it.
We bake out, and have problem last who we indeed like.
To assist with this vapid task, a new dating app has been created.
Introducing Evolve – not an app to find a date, though a dating and attribute manager.
Their aphorism – date with intention.
What is it exactly? Evolve is an app that helps we keep lane of a people you've intent with, along with your dates.
Heres how it works.
Your form is combined regulating your Facebook account.
The thought is to keep lane of who we are communicating with, and in what capacity.
You start by adding in a name and age of your dating prospect, along with how we met.
You can take a shade shot of their profile, and Evolve will automatically submit this information for you, alternatively, we can manually enter in this information.
The subsequent step is to rate your date on a scale of one to 10 in a fields of excitement, looks, smarts, and compatibility.
You go on to supplement in their pros, things such as common values, clarity of humour, chemistry; and cons, examples being baggage, sketchy, and self absorbed.
If and when we try into a genuine universe and accommodate for a date, we upload that information as well.
Evolve afterwards marks 'insights' of your dating habits, and compares them to other users of a app.
Where do your best dates branch from?
Which age operation are we many successful with?
How resourceful are you?
What have locals rated as a best date spots?
Best of all, it breaks down what commission of your initial dates spin into second, third, or even fifth dates.
It's a accessible square of information to have, not that we indispensable an tangible algorithm to figure out that one.
A fun underline of a app is that it provides we with accessible Did You Know tips about dating.
If anything, we comprehend that youre not a usually one experiencing these issues of complicated day dating.
Where there could be improvements?
Id like to be means to re-rate someone after going on a date.
Photos can be as deceiving as a humans stealing behind them, and online communication can vastly differ from face to face communication.
I would be meddlesome to see what insights come of your ratings pre- and post-date.
My opinion? Evolve might not find we love, though it can assistance we navigate your approach towards it.

Our People
Christopher Birks
International Relations – St Andrews
I studied International Relations at the University of St Andrews, and completed both the GDL and LPC in London.
Moving from International Relations into law, I knew that the firm I wanted to work for would have to share my global outlook. It was because of HFW's position as one of the world's foremost law firms in international commerce, as well as its formidable reputation in contentious legal work, that I chose to apply to the firm for a vacation scheme.
Based in the aerospace department, I was quickly able to put my command of French to use researching French civil aviation law with regards to a helicopter accident. Another exciting task I worked on was a report assessing the political situation in an African country that had lost all of its military aircraft due to a rebel bombing. After the vacation scheme, I was offered a training contract.
I am currently in my first seat in the fraud and insolvency department, where I have been exposed to a range of cases. In one significant case, the team has been representing the trustees in bankruptcy of the insolvent estate of a Russian oligarch in a fraud claim brought during the oligarch's lifetime by a major Russian airline. As part of these proceedings, we have been carrying out a disclosure exercise, using e-discovery software to analyse documents in English, Russian, French and German for relevance to the issues in dispute. Whilst being heard in London, the case touches on matters of Swiss and Russian law — typical of the sort of cases that HFW takes on. The case has involved a form of alternative dispute resolution which gave me a better sense of the many and varied routes a lawyer can take to accomplish the client's goals in the event of a dispute.
In another case, I worked on an urgent freezing injunction application. This involved attending a criminal hearing incognito to collect valuable information for inclusion in a witness statement. The application was heard in the High Court recently—a tense but exciting day—and we were successful in obtaining the injunction.
I am looking forward to my next seat in Paris, where I will be working in a range of sectors, including shipping and commodities.

Directory: Techniques → Offensive techniques → Ki blasts
Explosive Demon Wave (爆力魔波, Bakurikimaha; English "Exploding Powerful Demon Wave") is a very powerful blast shot from one hand, with the other arm supporting the one that is firing the attack.
It was King Piccolo's most potent attack and he used it against Goku twice. The first time Tien intervened and carried Goku out of the blasts way, but the second time he hit the young warrior dead on, heavily injuring him.
Later in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai we see Piccolo has the ability to use this attack as well, though it is nowhere near as potent as King Piccolo's version. Piccolo Junior first uses this technique as a final attack against Goku in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budôkai in an attempt to blow him to bits. Piccolo later uses it, without effect, against Raditz when they meet, and twice during his battle with Android 17.
Similar—but unnamed (in the manga & anime at least)—techniques have been used by other characters over the course of the series; notably Goku, Frieza and Zarbon.
Piccolo has a variation of this attack, called Chasing Bullet, which is fired the same way and tracks its target. It does not have the same power though, as it only had enough power to disable one of enemy's arms.
Video Games
This attack appears in every game of the Budokai video game series (not to be confused with the Budokai Tenkaichi series), in which the attack requires significantly less charging, and in which Piccolo briefly braces himself the moment he shoots the attack (making it appear that he is shooting it one handed). In this series it is called the Destructive Wave.
In Budokai Tenkaichi 3, where it is King Piccolo's Ultimate Blast (Ultimate Move) and one of Piccolo's (in his Piccolo (Early) Stage) Blast 2 (Super) attacks. In the game it is called Explosive Demon Wave.
Character meaning
- 爆 (Baku) = Explosion / bomb
- 力 (Riki) = Power / capability
- 魔 (Ma) = Demon / evil
- 波 (Ha) = Wave
From Dragon Ball Wiki, a Wikia wiki.

DriveSafety and CU-ICAR have developed a clinical system for rehabilitation using an automobile driving simulator at its core.
Our vision is to provide the best simulation-based rehabilitation tools available to clinicians to help patients who have suffered functional losses and regain independence and mobility. These tasks are accomplished through interactive exercises and driving scenarios to build skills, both for general activities of daily living and for driver rehabilitation and were developed in collaboration with clinicians, patients, scientists and engineers.
The DriveSafety/CU-ICAR partnership's approach to product development, which has combined advanced technologies with direct collaboration among clinicians, scientists, and patients, has won support and trust among leading voices in the industry. Introduced two years ago, the CDS-250 clinical system has now been installed in over twenty locations worldwide. New healthcare customers include civilian hospitals and clinics, medical device companies, and U.S. Army, Navy, and VA hospitals.
All tools are first tested by Occupational Therapists at Roger C. Peace Rehabilitation Hospital in Greenville, South Carolina.

I really miss not posting yesterday. I got highjacked by the vicissitudes of life a few days ago, and have finally broken free. Happy Valentine's Day. May you experience the love this day symbolizes every day of your life.
I've been thinking about vegetarianism the last few weeks, and all the issues it can bring forward. Some people seem to think it's not good to eat meat because animals have souls and should not be killed. But what about plants? Do they not have souls?
What I read in "The Secret Life of Plants," by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, made me ask some questions along these lines. In the book, I learned that plants are sensitive to their environment, including the people in it. Some interesting experiments were conducted in which plants were connected to a polygraph and were observed leaning toward people who treated them kindly and away from people who treated them unkindly. It was noted that they actually made little plant screeches when someone approached them with scissors. The experiments are considered to be pseudoscience by some. But what if they aren't?
After much rumination on the subject, I have come to the following conclusion. I don't know whether being highly sensitive to their environment means plants have souls or not. To me, that's not the point. The point is that we live in a predator-prey environment. Every creature eats another creature. Humans are the top predators in the food chain. Therefore, humans can eat whatever they want. We are not the biggest, but we are the baddest, if you subscribe to the paradigm of raw power.
This situation is not pretty or sweet or kind. It just is, like Spirit just is. I think Native Americans had the right idea. Treat everything on earth with respect, including the animals and plants we kill and eat.
What are your thoughts?
Live your purpose every day.

How is everyone today? I am a huge fan of eBay. I love that you can buy pretty much anything on it, old and new! I'm always browsing on the website to see what bargains I can pick up. I've used it for everything from photography equipment to nail varnish to dog toys! Unfortunately I have a terrible memory and I'm always forgetting that I've put stuff in my 'watch list' - this is probably better for my bank account though!
Anyway, because I love eBay so much, I decided I would start blog posts about the bargains I pick up (fashion and beauty related ones, of course!)
I managed to bid and win (I'm terrible at bidding wars!) this lovely owl necklace. It's on a lovely long chain and I love the colour of the metal. It only cost me £3.39 inc the p&p, which I think is a great price. I'm a bit of a sucker for anything with owls on, so this necklace was really perfect for me. For the money I paid it's great quality!
Do you shop on eBay? What bargains have you managed to pick up recently?

Maybe we've been telling people the wrong answer to success at home all along. Wouldn't it be just like Americans to over-categorize our answer to the most pressing problem in our culture?
Deuteronomy 6 is an oft-quoted verse by many pro-family speakers – including myself. However, I must admit that we all might have taken some of these words a bit off the path of their original destination.
Verses six through nine of this dynamic chapter challenge the families of Israel as to how the wonderful book of the law should be used: "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates."(NKJV) In other words, the Word of God should be taught at all times!
Now, here's where most of us take a bit of a wrong turn. I can almost hear myself tell a group of families, "Now, don't you see? God is making it clear that we should have a specific time of family devotions every day in our homes! If it's that important, shouldn't we set aside a time every day to spend as a family in the Word?" While the PROMISE of that statement will always be very positive for any family, the PREMISE of it is not the content of those key verses of Scripture.
Let's look back at the command again – I think you'll see that there's more here than simply what we might view as "Family Devotions" – a brief time daily or weekly where parents and children gather and dive into God's Word – that can only be a part of the story here. It seems more clear that in fact God is commanding us to make every part of our lives a family devotion – an opportunity to teach and remember the eternal elements in the mundane, day-to-day things of life!
Realizing the breadth of this challenge to families should in no way negate the important need for a structured devotion time. That time "when you sit in your house" is still and will always be a key component in handing off your faith to your children. It simply is not, however, the only time to work toward this eternal goal.
Isn't it always just like God to come up with something simpler, yet far more effective, than anything we can come up with on our own? When the Scripture says to "teach them diligently to your children," I have a vivid picture of the commandments of our Lord being the relevant topic of conversation from sunup to sundown – no matter what activities lie in between. I don't know about you, but this really gets the creative juices flowing! I can imagine a hundred mundane activities suddenly coming alive with spiritual truth with just a little fun and some relevant spiritual application!
I could name for you by memory at least twenty solid family devotion books to get you started with a specific, set-aside devotion time (if you don't do this, you should. It sure beats television when it comes to raising kids.) On the other hand, how many resources do you come across for the other 23 ¾ hours in the day? Fortunately, many more than there were even five years ago – but not near enough for me to be satisfied! Lana and I have prayed about this very topic, and believe that there are a few simple steps that any family can take to be well on the way to moving from regular family devotions to what we have called "devotions in motion" – learning to take advantage of regular activities in order to teach spiritual things.
You may be saying, "Ryan, you don't understand! We lead the most boring existence on the planet! There is no way to tie in our average day to spiritual things – much less draw some powerful nugget to assist us in our walk with the Father." If you're one of those doubters, lets look together at your schedule for some potential life changing events that you may already be doing on a daily or weekly basis. Do you or your children:
– Brush your teeth?
– Do laundry?
– Wash dishes?
– Drive in the car?
– Work in your yard?
– Make your bed?
– Eat snacks or meals?
– Eat out at restaurants?
– Listen to music?
– Answer the phone?
– Bathe?
– Play Board games?
– Do puzzles?
– Go to school?
Every one of those activities applies to Deuteronomy 6 – and so they all offer opportunities for conversation about God, object lessons about biblical principles, or just developing a stronger connection with the ones you love.
Life is full of WONDERFUL opportunities to share the Word of Truth to one another – really putting Deuteronomy 6 into practice!
As you go about your day today, consider all of the opportunities for devotions with your children… not from a book, but from your life. After all, it is how you live out the Truths of God that will ultimately be what is written on their hearts.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Each week seems to provide more questions and fewer answers for the Tulane football team.
Breakdowns occurred in all three phases as the Green Wave was pounded 31-6 by Rutgers on Saturday afternoon in High Point Solutions Stadium.
The defense crumbled at the start. The offense never recovered.
The Scarlet Knights (4-1) scored three early touchdowns to put pressure on a Green Wave offense that lost quarterback Tanner Lee to a shoulder injury midway through the second quarter. Outside of a lightning-quick 86-yard run by Sherman Badie, Tulane (1-4) was kept off the scoreboard and stagnated in the second half.
"Tanner practiced all week. We do some reps with Devin (Powell) and a little with Nick (Montana), but Tanner takes the majority of reps," Tulane coach Curtis Johnson said. "We had to cut down what we could do, and it wasn't very effective."
Rutgers quarterback Gary Nova and receiver Leonte Carroo connected on three touchdown passes as Nova piled up 291 yards. His four touchdowns propelled the senior into first on the school's all-time touchdown list with 60.
Nova started his coronation early, capping a 10-play, 53-yard drive by finding Carroo streaking across the back of the end zone from 3 yards. A possession later, Carroo leaped over Tulane cornerback Lorenzo Doss in the corner of the end zone to pull in another score.
Then, just two plays after Tulane punter Peter Picerelli pinned Rutgers at its 1-yard line, Nova faked a handoff and found seldom-used Andrew Turzilli, who caught it near midfield and outran the Tulane secondary to the end zone for a 93-yard score.
"I didn't feel it was a knockout blow — it was too early in the game for that — but it's a big play in the game," Rutgers coach Kyle Flood said. "That play got us up 21. You get up 21-0 on somebody, I would imagine your chances of winning the game go pretty high.
"So the game's not over, there's a lot of football left to play, but it certainly gave us a lot of momentum. You start with the 1-yard line, and three plays later you score a touchdown, there's some momentum to be had there."
The 21-point deficit felt even greater with Lee relegated to the sideline. The redshirt freshman had just pieced together a nearly 70-yard drive to reach the Rutgers 10, but a 15-yard chop block penalty put Tulane in third-and-long, prompting the Scarlet Knights to send heavy pressure.
Kemoko Turay broke into the backfield and dropped Lee for a sack, injuring Lee's shoulder and bringing Powell into the game.
Trailing 21-6 in the final two minutes of the first half, Powell led Tulane 64 yards and deep into Rutgers territory with time running down. But Andrew DiRocco — who missed an extra point earlier — pushed a 36-yard field-goal attempt wide, sapping the Green Wave of any momentum.
From there, Tulane's offense disappeared. The Green Wave gained just 49 yards on its next four drives before allowing third-stringer Montana to play the final possession, when he completed all five of his attempts for 18 yards.
Johnson said he's uncertain how long Lee's injury will keep him out for. If he's unable to play, a decision on the quarterback will be reached during the upcoming bye week.
"I liked the drive (Powell) had right before the half," Johnson said. "We don't practice the second-team or the third-team quarterback very much, so he was doing a lot of stuff off of memory from training camp.
"I thought he played pretty well. He got a few nice throws and a nice run going. He did some stuff, but when you lose your starter, especially a freshman who needs all of the reps in practice, you don't get other guys a chance at quarterback."
The Green Wave has lost eight of its past nine games against Football Bowl Subdivision competition dating to November and still hasn't won a game outside of Louisiana under Johnson.
"We haven't won in a long time, and confidence is something you want with a young team," Johnson said. "We just have to figure out a way to get our confidence and swagger going again.
"Going in, we knew this could happen because we played two ACC teams and a Big Ten team and four of six on the road. We just need to build some momentum."

"People who pursue Death with Dignity tend to be individuals who want to be independent and want to have control over the conditions and timing of their final moments of life," said Elizabeth Trice Loggers, M.D., Ph.D., corresponding author and medical director of SCCA's Supportive and Palliative Care Service. Washington was the second state, after Oregon, to enact a Death with Dignity law. It was passed in November 2008 after a voter-approved referendum and enacted in March 2009. Under Washington law, competent adults residing in the state with a life expectancy of six months or less due to a diagnosed medical condition may request and self-administer lethal medications prescribed by a physician. Prescribing physicians do not assist patients to ingest the medicine
This isn't treatment of a medical condition or hospice care, it is simply a want to end your life. A life in which the patient is fully competent and can self-administer the poison to kill themselves. It the point is to kill, not treat an ailment that it isn't medicine.The health care provider did step up safe gaurds, that should be noted.

Imaging with a DMUA presents unique challenges when compared to a conventional diagnostic probe. The elements of the DMUA are typically large and spaced coarsely along a concave shell. The frequencies used are also in the low MHz range to allow for efficient HIFU penetration. As way of comparison, the diagnostic probe we typically use in our lab has 128, 0.28 mm by 4 mm rectangular elements spaced 0.3 mm along a linear track, with a center frequency of 9 MHz and a bandwidth of 65%. Compare this with one of our DMUAs which has 64, 1.5 mm by 50 mm rectangular elements spaced 2 mm along a spheroidal section, with a center frequency of 1 MHz and a bandwidth of 50%. To overcome these limitations and ensure the highest quality image from the DMUA, we rely on a form of imaging called Synthetic Aperture (SA) imaging.
SA imaging creates a high resolution image by coherently combining many low resolution images. The low resolution images are created by transmitting an acoustic pulse from a single element, while recording the resulting echoes on all elements. These echoes are then backprojected based on a time of flight calculation to create a low resolution image for each transmit and receive pair. A 64 element array will create 64 low resolution images for each transmission. The transmit element can be varied to allow the medium to be insonified from many different angles. A 64 element array allows for 64 unique transmissions, resulting in 4096 separate low resolution images. This image formation process can be described by the formula below.
In the first equation above, P represents the amplitude value of the pixel in the beamformed image at row i, column j. The variable Alines represents the voltage value of the received echo at time Tf, on receive element rx, from transmit element tx. The variable Dir represents an amplitude scaling factor that incorporates the directivity of the array elements.
The second equation above describes how the time of flight is calculated and provides some insight into the SA imaging process. The variable Dis represents the distance between the current pixel and the transmit and receive elements respectively. A scatterer located at pixel i,j will produce a corresponding echo at time Tf. However, the location represented by pixel i,j is not the only location at which a scatter could produce an echo at time Tf. For a given transmit/receive pair, there are an infinite number of points which could produce an echo at time Tf. These points lie along so-called iso-chronal lines. The roundtrip distance from transmit element to receive element is constant for all points along an iso-chronal line. If the elements are assumed to be point sources, the iso-chronal lines form ellipses with the foci located at each element. The images below show representative iso-chronal lines for a 64 element array. The first graphic shows the iso-chronal lines arising from transmitting on element 16 and receiving on element 50. The second graphic shows the iso-chronal lines from transmitting on element 4 and receiving on element 32.
The important thing to note about the graphics above is the difference in the path of the iso-chronal lines between the two images. This difference is what gives SA imaging its resolving power. The coherent summing of the backprojections builds signal at the points where the iso-chronal lines overlap on a real scatterer. At other locations, the individual images either don't add, or add incoherently resulting in a much lower signal level.
By way of illustration, consider the following SA data set which was collected with a 64 element array arranged in two rows of 32 elements each. The target was a wire phantom which held thin wires spaced 5 mm's apart, perpendicular to the imaging plane. These wires mimic point scatterers and allow for easy quantification of the overall imaging performance. For this data set, the elements in a single column were connected together to form a 32 element array. The echo data collected simultaneously on all 32 elements from a transmit pulse on element 16 is shown below.
The data shows multiple temporally separated echoes corresponding to different wires. The two dominant echoes are from wires near the geometric focus of the array. There are smaller amplitude echoes which arrive later and with their phase front at more of an angle. These echoes are from wires which lie away from the geometric focus.
The aline corresponding to element 14 is shown below. It is this aline data which is backprojected to form the low resolution images.
The following shows the backprojections of the echo received from element 1 while transmitting on element 1, and the echo received from element 32 while transmitting on element 32. These graphics illustrate how the different element pairs backproject the data along different iso-chronal lines.
Each backprojection alone gives no information about where along the iso-chronal line the scatterer lies. It is only by combining multiple backprojections that the scatterers can be localized. Even with just the two backprojections shown above, the location of the two dominant scatterers can be estimated.
The backprojections shown above were synthesized without consideration of the element directivity term shown in the initial SA equation above. This directivity term accounts for non-isotropic radiation pattern of the array elements. The elements in this array radiate acoustic energy preferentially along their prinicipal axis. Points which lie further from this axis, in general, receive a lower amplitude excitation than points closer to the axis. Accounting for this directivity creates a spatial matched filter and can be used, among other things, to suppress grating lobes. The transmit/receive directivity pattern for element 1 is shown below.
The backprojection which takes into account the directivity of the elements is shown below. Notice how the amplitude of the backprojection is no longer uniform along the iso-chronal line.
The remaining step in the beamforming process is to coherently sum all the backprojected low resolution images. With this 32 element array, there are 1024 individual images which must be summed together. Below I've included snapshots of this process showing the image as more and more low resolution images are added. Each image is log compressed with a dynamic range of 45 dB.
The first image incorporates only the first transmission. You can begin to see some axial differentiation of the wires, but the image is still spread significantly in the lateral direction.
Even with just four transmit elements located on one side of the array, the wires are already fairly distinguishable. The wires off the bottom left in the image are quite clear.
The above image incorporates three quarters of the elements and provides fairly nice localization of the wire targets.
The final graphic shows the complete SA image using all transmit elements. There was some damage to the wire phantom which shifted the spacing of the wires from their original 5 mm increments. These shifts can be seen on the image, where not each wire lies exactly 5 mm apart.
It's worth noting that it is not strictly necessary to use all elements in the SA beamforming process. Using a subset of the transmit elements is referred to as sparse synthetic aperture imaging, and it is a common technique to increase imaging frame rates.
SA imaging is a very elegant imaging technique, but it is not without its limitations. Perhaps the most serious limitation is the huge computational burden imposed on the image formation process. Instead of projecting the echo along a line perpendicular to the face of the transducer, as is the case in B-Mode imaging, we are instead projecting the echo along a series of ellipses, a much more computationally demanding task. In addition, this must be done for each transmit and receive pair, which for an even moderately size array results is processing and storing thousands of backprojected images.
The 512×256 pixel images above were processed with a vectorized Matlab script and required nearly 40 seconds to filter and beamform on a moderately powerful desktop computer. A similar C++ implementation required 4 seconds to filter and beamform these images. This speed is far too slow for a real-time implementation. To bring the processing time down to real-time I moved the beamformer onto a graphical processing unit (GPU).
GPUs allow for massively parallel computing on a small affordable platform. Nvidea has an extension to C called CUDA which allows very easy access to the GPU. I typically use a GTX285 for data processing that requires visualization. The GTX285 has 240 cores with a GB of on board memory. I sometimes use a Tesla C1060 for applications which require more memory. The Tesla is specifically made for scientific computing with 4 GB of on board memory. The one drawback of the Tesla is that there is no video output. This prevents you from rendering to a screen directly from the GPU. For time sensitive applications, this could be a problem.
The SA beamforming process is very suitable to parallelization. The steps required to process one pixel in one low resolution image do not require any data from a previous or subsequent image. To process the data I wrote a CUDA kernel to beamform at one pixel on one transmit and receive pair. I then invoke this kernel over all the pixels in all the transmit and receive pairs, before summing the low resolution images to form the final high quality SA image.
The speed up provided by the GPU was fairly remarkable. I am currently able to filter and beamform a full SA image from a 32 element array in under 16 ms. We typically collect data at frame rates of 1K, so a full SA image takes 32 ms, so we are processing data at 2x real-time. The processing burden increases by the square of the number of array elements, but the parallelization can be increased by adding additional GPUs.
Overall, synthetic aperture imaging allows the DMUA to produce usable images that aid in the safe and accurate delivery of HIFU therapies. The computational demands imposed by the beamforming process were handled by a GPU which allowed for the implementation of a real-time software based ultrasound system.

We go there often. The cheeseburger club is made perfectly and The Fishermans platter is always fresh! The owners are very nice and they always have really good specials that are not typical of a Pizza place. I'm not a huge fan of the clam chowder- but everything else is really good.

Boy Scouts of America: Reinstate Cub Scout leader who was removed for being gay
My name is Jennifer Tyrrell. I am a devoted partner, mother, friend and community leader in Bridgeport, Ohio. I'm also a former Tiger Cub den leader with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). I was recently removed from this volunteer position, and my membership was revoked after nearly a year of service – just because I happen to be gay.
Shortly after registering my son for Cub Scouts, I was asked to assume the role of den leader and was persuaded by a platform of tolerance, acceptance and support. Throughout the year, my cubs performed volunteer service at a local soup kitchen, collected canned goods for area churches to distribute in food baskets, participated in bell-ringing for the Salvation Army, and, at the time of my removal, were working on a conservation project for a state park. My Tiger Cubs earned multiple Scout badges for service and skills, while learning and exercising the 12 Core Values of Scouting: citizenship, compassion, cooperation, courage, faith, health & fitness, honesty, perseverance, positive attitude, resourcefulness, respect, and responsibility.
The revocation of my membership came shortly after I was elected treasurer of my pack and uncovered some inconsistencies in the pack's finances. Within a week of reporting these findings to the council, I received notice that my membership had been revoked, based on my sexual orientation, citing that because I'm gay, I did "not meet the high standards of membership that the BSA seeks."
There was an outcry of support for me by the parents of my Tiger Scouts, many of whom waited for hours to voice their concerns to members of the council and the pack's charter organization, but were turned away without the opportunity to do so.
It is time for the Boy Scouts of America to reconsider its policy of exclusivity against gay youth and leaders. Please sign this petition to call for an end of discrimination in an organization that is shaping the future.
As more individuals become aware of the discrimination I've been dealing with, it is my hope that these incidents will happen less frequently -- if at all.
Please join me and take a stand. If you would also like to support my work to end the Boy Scouts' policy barring gay scouts and gay scout leaders, you can do so here:

I urge the Boy Scouts of America to not simply tout the values of compassion, honesty, and respect -- but act on them.
Recently, a cub scout den leader from Bridgeport, Ohio named Jennifer Tyrrell was removed from her post after regional Scout leadership found out she's gay. Local leaders, parents and scouts knew about her sexual orientation, and didn't care. In fact, they were upset that she was removed, because her cubs had excelled under her leadership.
Jennifer's cubs performed volunteer service at a local soup kitchen, collected canned goods for area churches to distribute in food baskets, participated in bell-ringing for the Salvation Army, and were working on a conservation project for a state park. Her Tiger Cubs earned multiple Scout badges for service and skills, while learning and exercising the 12 Core Values of Scouting: citizenship, compassion, cooperation, courage, faith, health & fitness, honesty, perseverance, positive attitude, resourcefulness, respect, and responsibility.
It is time for the Boy Scouts of America to reconsider its policy of exclusivity against gay youth and leaders. Please reinstate Jennifer's post in the Boy Scouts of America, and end the discrimination in your organization -- an organization that is responsible for shaping the future of young men across the country.
Thank you,
','2013-05-06 20:11:23','2013-05-06 20:11:23'),(117365,336220,'I just signed the following petition addressed to British Prime Minister David Cameron.
Implement paragraph 20 Weston Park Accord. Release Gerry McGeough.
We call for full implementation of paragraph 20 of the Weston Park Accord (2001) and for the immediate release of Gerry McGeough.
The Good Friday Agreement was signed on 10th April 1998. The associated Weston Park Accord was signed on 1st August 2001. This is an international agreement between the Irish and British governments. Both governments agreed to implement paragraph 20 before the end of 2001. Paragraph 20 states that:
"supporters of organisations now on cease-fire against whom there are outstanding proceedings, and in some cases extradition proceedings, for offences committed before 10th April 1998 would if convicted, stand to benefit from the early release scheme. The Governments accept that it would be a natural development of the scheme for such prosecutions not to be pursued and will as soon as possible, and in any event before the end of the year, take such steps as are necessary in their jurisdictions to resolve this difficulty so that those concerned are no longer pursued".
Unfortunately, the legislation required to implement paragraph 20 was never passed in Westminster. The failure of the British government to act in the spirit of the Good Friday Agreement forced the withdrawal of this legislation on 11th January 2006 by then Secretary of State Peter Hain.
Non-implementation of paragraph 20 led directly to the arrest of Gerry McGeough on 8th March 2007. He was subsequently charged and sentenced in a Diplock Court with alleged offences dating back 31 years to June 1981. Gerry has now been incarcerated in Maghaberry prison since 18th February 2011. He is the only Irish Republican to have been charged with alleged offences committed prior to the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.

So *sigh* I, like so maybe other designers have to turn to offering a CU4CU license. All my previous and future freebies will be for PERSONAL USE ONLY and if you'd like to use my freebies for CU, you would need to purchase my CU4CU license. I will be setting it up over the next couple of days.
I informed and saw designers who posted my freebies for profit for themselves. Broke every rule that I had in my TOU and its severely frustrating to see that some people have so little regard for designers' terms. I would like to say I won't take this personally but its hard not to. So for now, all my freebie links will be disabled. I'm going to redo all my previews and terms-of-use. I should be done updating all my files by Monday and I will have my CU4CU license up in my store.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Have a great weekend!

Let's Celebrate Ourselves For Who We Are
While growing up I was frequently reminded of the importance of tests and grades. My parents and teachers would encourage me to succeed with nothing but well meaning. Unfortunately, I also learnt to value myself for what I could do as opposed to who I am. I read about a concept in the book The Chimp Paradox called the fridge door. In one case when the child comes to their mother with a drawing she tells them "well done" and pins it to the fridge. This teaches the child that they are valued based on what they do. In another case the mother expresses love to the child despite their achievement, showing them that they are valued regardless. It seems strange that it wouldn't be obvious that most parents have nothing but unconditional love for their children, yet many people grow up placing their worth in what they can do.
Some people use this way of thinking to push themselves to succeed. Unfortunately, it can just as easily result in turning people away from trying their best. I was seen as a workaholic by many while I was a student, but it was my way of trying to locate my self-esteem. I got caught in a trap whereby I would work hard in the hopes of feeling better about myself, but I would have to keep doing more and more to reach that goal. After pushing myself to exhaustion I realized that no matter what I did I'd never feel like I was good enough. I didn't feel like working anymore, because what's the point when it never turns out well? I now know that neither train of thought is helpful, but I'm still struggling to know how to maintain a healthy work life balance that isn't tied to my feelings of self worth. Working can be an emotional roller-coaster for me, if I don't do enough I feel guilty, but when I try I'm self critical and filled with feelings of disappointment.
As well as applying this way of thinking to ourselves we can also apply it to others. Most kids just want to feel loved and will do anything they can to achieve this goal. In some cases they can come to associate a show of affection with doing something for someone. For a long time I felt like I could only get people to like me by doing things for them. It would then leave me disheartened when they didn't reciprocate. I would see them extending their friendship more easily to others who had done far less for them than I had. In turn we can also start to value others based on what they can do for us and bad experiences can leave you feeling like people will always let you down. In truth they don't really owe us anything and probably never asked for some of the things we've done for them.
Basing our self-esteem on uncontrollable factors such as our ability to achieve perfection or to receive praise from others is risky. Instead we can celebrate the things that make us who we are, recognising traits such as kindness, conscientiousness and honesty. Why base our self-esteem on a future goal that we have yet to achieve when we can feel good about ourselves for who we are now? We can even learn to embrace out vulnerabilities and imperfections, because they are what make us human. We can feel good about ourselves just for trying our best and being determined enough not to give up, even if we haven't yet reached the results that we feel are expected of us. We can extend this thought to how we approach others as well, by showing them that our affection for them is safe no matter what they accomplish in life.

My partner's boss' parents are bee keepers and he's been selling off spare pots of honey. I seem to have it stockpiled now so it'll last me a good while. I love honey and it's even better when its not been bought from a super market. If you get it locally it can also help you to build up resistance to hay fever.
Fit in a couple of sessions of Dungeons & Dragons this week and have another one planned for tomorrow. We can't seem to find enough time to play as much as we'd like to at the moment, but it's good that everybody is so enthusiastic. It's also keeping me busy trying to learn how to play and preparing for Dungeon Master duties. Although my friend wants to try and DM the next one, which I'm happy about as I just created a new character that I'm really excited to play. For some reason I have the heart of the dice and get incredible rolls, while all of my friends seem to be incredibly unlucky. It isn't ideal as a DM as I keep critically hitting their characters, but I rolled to get my character's stats and they're amazing (I got three six's on one roll.) Although, as a DM it feels amazing to see everybody enjoying themselves on a story that you're helping to create.

Celebrate The Small Things: 11 March
Between back problems, hospital visits and breaks away I haven't been able to get back to the gym as consistently as I would have liked so far this year. This week I've given myself the push to go three times, an hour each session, which is what I use to do. I'm also going to exert my willpower – we have cream slices in the house and I'm going to turn it down. The hardest thing I find about trying to live a healthier lifestyle is that people keep buying treats in or planning nights out, even after you've already explained that you're trying to cut back. It's my fault for not being very good at avoiding temptation and saying 'no', but after a week of keeping to the gym I'm going to stay strong this time… I hope.
This week I focussed on designing a WordPress theme. I've only been working on the HTML and CSS so far, but I'm really happy with it. I can be a bit rusty at first if I haven't done any web programming in a while, and this isn't helped by the fact that I can be quite ambitious with my ideas. I also got accepted another another user-testing website and completed a couple more tests. I'm getting better at it. I'm far more relaxed now. I'm also on a website called Slice The Pie, a website where you can give feedback on new songs and fashion. It's a lot of fun and my rating has suddenly jumped up to 4 stars.
My friends and I have been doing a lot more together recently, and I feel like it's helping me to feel a bit closer to them. We went to see Deadpool together in 4D, started a game of Civilization V and went back for a couple more games at the card game shop. Everybody seems enthusiastic to do the card games as a weekly thing now, which I'm really happy about. We even have plans to do Dungeons and Dragons. I've been looking for something like this for a long time, but could either never find the people or the space. I was getting tired of always going to the pub and it costs too much to do it all the time.

A Couple Of Boss Monster Games
Since discovering a space in which to play card games together we have started to gather once a week. Over the past couple of weeks the focus has been on our newest game Boss Monster (see 'Discovering New Card Games – Boss Monster.') We've since introduced this game to a couple of our friends and they enjoy it just as much as we do. Each time we play it results in lively discussions, laughter and debate. Each one feels like a story in and of itself. We have also introduced a couple of expansion packs now: Paper and Pixels and Tools of the Hero-Kind. One of these adds dungeon rooms that can accumulate damage output through counters and the other attaches items to heroes. These items give them additional abilities to help them to get through your dungeon, but if you succeed in killing them you also gain that item and an additional ability. Since adding these we've found that the games have become far more unpredictable and exciting. I don't remember every detail of these games, but here's a summary:
Putting A Negative/Positive Spin On Traits
A lot of us are guilty for putting a negative spin on things, in particular when it comes to judgements about other people. I've frequently seen criticisms along the lines of 'they're trying too hard' or 'taking life too seriously.' It's possible to perceive almost everything in a positive or negative way. Some people will probably fit our negative view of them, others the positive, but many will be somewhere in-between. Many of us are fearful of being branded with certain criticisms like it's the worst thing ever, but in our avoidance we also miss out on the positives of these traits. For example, there are worse things a person can be than pretentious, but I see the word being bandied about frequently as something to be absolutely avoided. I think such words are possibly being misused and have seen it being applied to anybody with an interest in art or academics (see the article 'What's wrong with being pretentious?' on The Guardian and 'It's good to be pretentious' on Salon.)
We might have things we dislike about ourselves (perhaps we were bullied about it,) but we can learn to accept it by putting a positive spin on it. Even in the worst parts of ourselves it's possible to see something good. That's not to suggest that we should become complacent with who we are (it's good to work on ourselves to become better people,) but it doesn't help to constantly beat ourselves up over something that might not even be that big of a problem; We're all fallible human beings after all. Seeing everything in a negative light also contributes to problems like depression and anxiety.We can use this trick to answer interview questions in which we're asked about our weaknesses too.
By taking the time to interpret something in multiple ways, we can come to the realization of just how unclear life really is and that there is always more than one way to see something. As such we can draw the conclusion that no matter what we do it's impossible to please everybody and that misunderstandings are likely. Somebody might act in a way that we consider to be incredibly grating, but to others it's endearing or beneficial. Trying to see another's behaviour as something other than a threat to ourselves can also help us to deal with them more easily or perhaps allow us to get along better.

So I haven't had the chance to write anything here over the past couple of weeks. I've been recovering from jet lag this week, after flying back from Montreal. It was amazing being able to go back to Canada again, as it is one of my favourite places to visit. We also got to see three of our favourite bands while we were there: Nightwish, Sonata Arctica and Delain. Got to shake the hands with all the members of Nightwish and had a photo taken with them. When I first became a fan I never even thought I'd get a chance to see them perform, nevermind actually meeting them. While we were there I also visited my first planetarium, saw some wolves and ate the tastiest pizza ever.
Once we got back home we had another gig to go to. It was Sabaton and Alestorm; An unusual combination, but a fun night out all the same. I forgot how much I enjoy Alestorm, they're really funny and can get the crowd going. Last week we also discovered that the card game shop has moved to a new location. Before it was quite a poky little shop in an area we didn't feel safe walking through. Now it's much closer with a whole upstairs area that anybody is free to use as a space to play card or role playing games in. Tried it out with some friends and I reckon we'll be making regular visits from now on. It's nice to have some space to go and meet people that won't cost too much, like going to the pub for instance. We discovered a new card game called Boss Monster that is a lot of fun. Tonight we're off to see Deadpool in 4D.
Oh and I finally finished all of the Game Of Thrones books and am now watching through the series. While I really enjoyed reading about all of the characters I found it to be a bit heavy going and have felt ready to move onto something new for quite some time.

What Makes Pokémon Special?
February 27th 2016 marked the 20th anniversary of Pokémon. People were sharing what Pokémon meant to them and ideas about how the franchise has stood the test of time. I didn't get a chance to ponder over this at the time, but wanted to write about some of my own thoughts as to what makes Pokémon so special.
What first drew me to Pokémon was the idea of being able to take care of my own monsters and to share the journey with a bunch of companions. I guess it appealed to the nurturing part of myself (I always loved keeping pets anyway), but I also liked how I could express myself through my choice of what to put on the team. There are over 700 different Pokémon at the time of writing this, so there is plenty of choice. It's interesting to compare teams with your friends and to have that joy of revealing them for the first time in battle. We've all ended up associating different types of Pokémon with ourselves as there are cute ones, tough one, cool ones and mean looking ones to suit all tastes (I like dragon types of course; Gible and Axew are my favourites.)
There's nothing like your first Pokémon experience. I really enjoyed unlocking new areas to see what I could find. There's the excitement of catching new Pokémon and finding out what type it is and what it can do; Levelling it up to see what it'll turn into. Unfortunately, even as each generation adds new Pokémon to discover, you can eventually reach a point where the game ceases to surprise you in this way. Luckily the game has other strengths to maintain your interest. On the surface many might think Pokémon is just for kids, but there is also a complexity to the system that can appeal to adults as well. I guess the game can maintain appeal no matter what stage of mastery you're on, and the addition of new Pokémon continues to add new strategies. The game uses a simple turn-based system with a rock/paper/scissors type match-up, but the choice we make for the move set and the way we train stats onto our Pokémon gives us a lot of control over the outcome. When played competitively Pokémon does favour those with more experience, but every so often a battle can still surprise you.
Training for battles can be time-consuming and admittedly I find it can be too reliant on luck (I lost in a tournament to a very low accuracy move, even though I had the type advantage… ouch…) If playing competitively isn't your thing Pokémon still has a lot to be enjoyed. For example, collecting things is fun. The social aspects of the game can bring friends or even strangers together, as they share to fill their Pokédex. We're able to download Pokémon now, but a part of me preferred having to travel to events at various game shops as this allowed fans to meet up. I've always found the community to be a lovely mix of people from different age groups, genders and ethnicities. On attending events – even at tournaments – the vibe can be very friendly.
Overall I think Pokémon's success can be attributed to the fact that it can appeal to so many different types of people. The Pokémon themselves have also become visual icons (who wouldn't recognise Pikachu?) and it's ideal for merchandising. Pokémon is still able to attract new fans while maintaining the old. I think some of us even find the images of Pokémon to be comforting as they remind us of happier times during our childhood. On the reverse of that Pokémon has also helped many of us to get through tougher times while growing up. It can be nice to escape to a simpler world to hang out with my Pokémon companions when everything gets on top of me.
