Justin Timberlake VMA performance VIDEO 2013 [FULL]: Receives prestigious Michael Jackson Vanguard Award
Justin Timberlake reunited with former boyband NSYNC for the first time during the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 25.
The singer was also honored with the Michael Jackson Vanguard Music Award shortly after his performance.
Past recipients of the prestigious award include Michael Jackson, Madonna, R.E.M., and the Beastie Boys. The award was presented by Jimmy Fallon.
"Half of the moon man that I ever won I won with those four guys right there," said Timberlake, pointing to former bandmates of NSYNC. "I want to share this award with them. This is truly an honor. Thank you so much."
Timberlake performed at the VMAs for the first time in six years with a medley of his hit songs and his new song "Back the Night."
Prior to the VMAs, Timberlake tweeted a photo of himself which showed the singer's back leaning on a keyboard with the caption "Calm before the storm."
After the medley performance, the 32-year-old reunited with NSYNC for the first time in ten years in a one-time only performance at the VMAs. Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick have not performed together since the 2003 Grammy Awards.
The boyband came together for a one-time only performance at the VMAs to perform a medley of their hit songs, including all–time favorite "Bye Bye Bye."
Justin Timberlake was nominated for Video of the Year, Best Male Video, Best Pop Video and Best Editing for his single "Mirrors." He was also nominated for Best Direction and Best Collaboration for "Suit & Tie" featuring Jay-Z.
This year's MTV Video Music Awards took place at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn for the first time. Lady Gaga opened the show with "Applause" a song from her upcoming single due to be released in November.

- Governors differ on extent of flexibility for Medicaid, By Amy Goldstein and Dan Balz, February 28, 2011, Washington Post: "Democratic and Republican governors, burdened by crushing budget pressures from Medicaid, said Sunday that federal officials should allow them more freedom to change eligibility rules and other aspects of the public health insurance program for the poor. But they displayed sharp ideological differences over how far such flexibility should go. After a series of private conversations at the National Governors Association's semiannual meeting over the weekend, leaders of the group formed a bipartisan committee to explore in detail what kind of flexibility over Medicaid the governors can agree to seek from federal health officials. It remains unclear whether they will be able to forge such common ground, given their partisan disagreements over both Medicaid and the new federal law to reshape the health-care system. 'The closer governors get to Washington, the more they start acting like members of Congress,' said Oregon Gov. John A. Kitzhaber (D), vice chairman of the NGA's Health and Human Services Committee, referring to the rancorous debate over health care that persists on Capitol Hill.
- Governors: Medicaid more a budget buster than ever, By Julie Rovner, February 28, 2011, National Public Radio: "The federal government and the states have shared the cost of Medicaid, the health insurance program for some 60 million low-income Americans, since it was created in 1965. They've shared something else almost that long – arguments about who should foot how much of the ever-escalating bill. 'Medicaid cost growth has been a problem for time immemorial,' says Alan Weil, executive director of the National Academy for State Health Policy. But this time, he says, things are different. For one thing, 'the program is bigger, so growth on a larger base is more real dollars that's harder to find…'"

Medicaid Privatization – Florida
Lawmakers poised to privatize Medicaid statewide, By Kelli Kennedy (AP), February 28, 2011, Miami Herald: "Jason Rosenstock typically waits six weeks to see a specialist to treat his pituitary disease, a side effect from a childhood brain tumor. The private insurance company managing his care for Medicaid has repeatedly denied his medications, each denial eliciting a mountain of red tape. The 33-year-old and his mother kept a journal of every phone call and e-mail detailing their fight the past few years as Rosenstock has been bounced between three different health plans. Rosenstock lives in Broward County, the largest of five counties participating in a 2006 pilot program implemented under former Gov. Jeb Bush that puts Medicaid recipients into privately managed care. Gov. Rick Scott and Republican lawmakers want to expand the program statewide during the upcoming legislative session, which begins March 8. Lawmakers say Florida must overhaul Medicaid or its rising costs, which are expected to top $21 billion next year, will overwhelm the budget. The program has nearly 3 million low-income and disabled residents, with the federal government paying more than half the bill. The state is trying to eliminate a $3.6 billion budget deficit…"
Child Abuse and Neglect – Colorado
Number of children abused or neglected in Colorado rises, By Karen Auge, February 28, 2011, Denver Post: "The number of abused or neglected children in Colorado has risen over the past three years, even as the numbers in other states have declined – with 36 children killed by abuse in 2009, up from 27 in 2007. After a dip between 2006 and 2007, the rates of confirmed child abuse and neglect in the state have increased: from 8.3 per 1,000 in 2007, to 8.6 in 2008, to 9.1 per 1,000 in 2009, the latest year for which statistics are available. In 2009, 11,339 of Colorado's 1.2 million children were maltreated, 641 more than the previous year, according to data collected by the Colorado Department of Human Services child welfare division and provided by the Kempe Center, which treats abused children. During the past two years, 1,236 additional children were abused and neglected compared with 2007. It is not uncommon for more children to get hurt by adults when a stalled economy piles stress on a family, child welfare experts say. Still, states across the country – states where the economy is as bad as or worse than it is in Colorado – reported decreases…"
Application Process for SNAP – Connecticut
State could face sanctions over severe problem with food stamps, By Arielle Levin Becker, February 24, 2011, The Day: "Connecticut wrongly denies food stamps to eligible residents at a higher rate than any other state. It ranks among the worst in the nation in processing food stamp applications on time and paying out accurate levels of benefits. And federal officials warn that without a 'tremendous turnaround,' the state could face significant financial sanctions. 'We're really concerned with what's happening in Connecticut,' James Arena-DeRosa, northeast regional administrator for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service, told members of the Human Services and Appropriations committees Tuesday. Legislators called the figures he presented shocking. Twenty-six percent of cases in which food stamps were denied or cut off were the result of errors, according to preliminary fiscal-year 2010 figures based on a sample of cases. Fewer than 60 percent of applications were processed in a timely manner, and the rate of inaccurate benefit payments was second-worst in the country…"
Medicaid and Home Care
Delaware government: Medicaid care heads home, By Hiran Ratnayake, February 25, 2011, Wilmington News Journal: "Each morning, a home health aide goes to 43-year-old Lisa Hughes' Newark apartment to help with her day-to-day life. Because of her health needs, Hughes is among close to 17,000 Delaware residents who would benefit from a new state program that could save millions in health care costs while keeping people out of nursing homes. From the time she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 18 years ago, Hughes' autoimmune disease has slowly progressed. At first, it caused 'flashbulb spots' in her vision, but it has progressed to the point that Hughes needs a wheelchair. Aides from Bayada Nurses, a home health care company, help her get ready every morning and prepare to go to bed at night. A Bayada registered nurse — as well as occupational and physical therapists — also check on her twice a week. Hughes, who gets part of her health insurance through Medicaid, wouldn't have it any other way…"
General Assistance Program – California
Sacramento County's neediest must wait weeks for aid, By Brad Branan, February 25, 2011, Sacramento Bee: "Sacramento County's poorest residents are waiting longer to receive cash assistance because of a double whammy common to social service programs these days. The county has fewer caseworkers even as the need for services has increased. The county tries to finish applications for its General Assistance program within six weeks, or two weeks longer than it did a year ago, said Paul Lake, director of the Human Assistance Department. Applications are taking as long as two months to approve, he said. Advocates for the poor, however, say claims are taking two months to three months to complete. The county is hurting these people because they have no other money to survive, advocates say…"
Earned Income Tax Credit
Tax credit helps poor, but many unaware, By Rita Price, February 25, 2011, Columbus Dispatch: "As a single mother who works and goes to college, Brandi Hardgrow adheres to a budget that leaves little room for wiggle – or for unexpected car repairs. But she gets by, and a big reason is her tax savvy. Hardgrow, 29, files for the Earned Income Tax Credit and then carefully manages a hefty refund – sometimes more than $2,500 – that keeps her household humming when her job as a Columbus-schools latchkey worker pauses for summer break. 'It's made a total difference in my life,' she said. Researchers say the EITC is the nation's best poverty buffer for low-income workers. It's also an economic boon for their communities because recipients often need to spend a big chunk of their refunds right away…"
Paid Parental Leave
Report decries lack of paid parental leave in US, By David Crary (AP), February 23, 2011, Washington Post: "Americans often take pride in ways their nation differs from others. But one distinction – lack of a nationwide policy of paid maternity leave – is cited in a new report as an embarrassment that could be redressed at low cost and without harm to employers. 'Despite its enthusiasm about 'family values,' the U.S. is decades behind other countries in ensuring the well-being of working families,' said Janet Walsh, deputy director of the women's rights division of Human Rights Watch. 'Being an outlier is nothing to be proud of in a case like this.' Human Rights Watch, based in New York, focuses most of its investigations on abuses abroad. But on Wednesday, with release of a report by Walsh on work/family policies in the U.S., it takes the relatively unusual step of critiquing a phenomenon affecting tens of millions of Americans…"
UNICEF Report: State of the World's Children 2011
- One billion people forgotten in fight against poverty, By Annie Kelly, February 25, 2011, The Guardian: "This year Unicef's annual flagship State of the World's Children report, released on Friday, focuses exclusively on adolescents. A recognition, says Unicef, of the increasingly urgent need to invest in the world's 1.2 billion 10-19 year olds, an invisible generation who are nevertheless pivotal in global efforts to reach the UN millenium development goals targets by 2015. The report argues that adolescents are often marginalised in development budgets and programming, and that if this is not corrected then investment in global poverty, health, education and employment goals will be compromised. Many of the world's teenagers were babies or young children when the MDGs were established in 2000. Since then, many of them will have been the direct beneficiaries of the significant global gains in child survival, primary education, access to safe water and sanitation…"
- Indian teen girls most ill-fed: UN, By Chetan Chauhan, February 25, 2011, Hindustan Times: "Indian adolescents girls are worse than even those in world's poorest region — Sub-Saharan Africa – in terms of nutrition and empowerment whereas a majority of boys are at high risk because of their sexual activity, a new United Nations report on adolescents on Friday said. The report, 'Adolescence an Age of Opportunity', released three days before the union budget had found that 63 per cent of the Indian boys in the age group of 15-19 were engaged in high-risk sex with non-marital, non-cohabitating partner as compared to just one percent girls in the same age group. Still it was lowest in the developing world with the highest being in South Africa with 95 % boys and 99 % girls reporting high risk sex. The report found sexual activity among Asian children below the age of 15, including India, to be lowest in the world…"
School Lunch Programs
Some schools cut lunch options for kids who struggle to pay, By Alex Johnson, February 21, 2011, MSNBC.com: "At the turn of the new year, the Lee County, Fla., public schools were losing about $2,000 a week on school lunches. Then came the cheese sandwiches. When classes resumed Jan. 3 after the winter break, the district – the 40th-largest in the United States, with about 80,000 pupils – had a problem. Up to 1,100 pupils weren't paying for their meals, school officials say. Because the National School Lunch Program, or NSLP, requires participating schools to provide nourishing meals for all pupils, what do school administrators do if a pupil shows up in the lunchroom with no cash and with no money left in his or her electronic meal account? Most raise their prices for kids who can pay, according to research by the nonprofit School Nutrition Association, which found that nearly 60 percent of public school districts raised lunch prices in 2009, the last full year for which national figures were available…"
Population Decrease in US Counties
In quarter of U.S. counties, deaths outnumbering births, By Hope Yen and John Raby (AP), February 23, 2011, Las Vegas Review-Journal: "In America's once-thriving coal country, 87-year-old Ed Shepard laments a prosperous era gone by, when shoppers lined the streets and government lent a helping hand. Now, here as in one-fourth of all U.S. counties, West Virginia's graying residents are slowly dying off. Hit by an aging population and a poor economy, a near-record number of U.S. counties are experiencing more deaths than births in their communities, a phenomenon demographers call 'natural decrease.' Years in the making, the problem is spreading amid a job slump and a push by Republicans in Congress to downsize government and federal spending…"
Health Insurance Coverage for Low-Income Adults – Pennsylvania
In Pa., low-income adults soon may be uninsured, By Jenny Gold, February 23, 2011, National Public Radio: "When Paula Michele Boyle first received the letter earlier this month explaining that her health insurance coverage was being terminated, she took it personally, thinking maybe the insurer had discovered something in her history to make her ineligible. But then the Philadelphia resident read on and realized that it wasn't just her – the entire program, Pennsylvania's state-funded health plan for low-income adults, was about to be canceled. For Boyle and her husband, Tom, both self-employed cancer survivors who need regular medical care, the news has been unnerving. 'We were in shock over this,' Boyle says. 'What are we going to do now? We need doctor visits and testing.' Nearly 42,000 people who participate in the program have received similar notices. Another 494,787 people had been on the waiting list, hoping to get such coverage…"
States and Medicaid Cuts
Obama administration asks states to cut costs without dropping Medicaid coverage, By Marilyn Werber Serafini, February 22, 2011, Washington Post: "The Obama administration is deploying squadrons of in-house experts to help budget-strapped states figure out how to save money on Medicaid, the health program for the poor that has been a source of rising tensions between state capitals and Washington. In recent weeks, both Democratic and Republican governors have been pressing the administration to be flexible in enforcing a requirement in the new health-care law that bars states from tightening eligibility for the program between now and 2014, when an additional 16 million people will be eligible for the program. Some states want to tighten eligibility now to curb spending. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has a difficult balancing act. The former governor of Kansas wants to improve relations with the governors, who are due Saturday in Washington for a big meeting. But she also wants to expand Medicaid, not shrink it…"
Financial Services in Poor Areas
Bank closings tilt toward poor areas, By Nelson D. Schwartz, February 22, 2011, New York Times: "Until it closed its doors in December, the Ohio Savings Bank branch on North Moreland Boulevard was a neighborhood anchor in Cleveland, midway between the mansions of Shaker Heights and the ramshackle bungalows of the city's east side. Now it sits boarded up, a victim not only of Cleveland's economic troubles but also of a broader trend of bank branch closings that is falling more heavily on low- and moderate-income neighborhoods across the country. In 2010, for the first time in 15 years, more bank branches closed than opened across the United States. An analysis of government data shows, however, that even as banks shut branches in poorer areas, they continued to expand in wealthier ones, despite decades of government regulations requiring financial institutions to meet the credit needs of poor and middle-class neighborhoods…"
Kids Count Report – Illinois
- Group says early education investment saves money, By Zachary Colman (AP), February 17, 2011, Chicago Tribune: "With more Illinois children falling into poverty, investing in early childhood education today could save the state millions of dollars in the future, an advocacy group said Thursday. Voices for Illinois Children acknowledged the state has a huge budget deficit and is cutting many programs. But the group's president, former state lawmaker Kathy Ryg, said services for children in fourth grade and below should be spared from budget cuts if the state wants to prevent a drain on social services when the children are older…"
- Organization reports disparities in children's reading skills, By Kathy Millen, February 18, 2011, Naperville Sun: "If the measure of reading skills at the beginning of fourth grade is a predictor of future success, then many Illinois children may be looking at a lifetime of struggles. By the time they're leaving third grade, children typically make the transition from learning to read to reading to learn. But in recent years, reading scores at these grade levels have barely improved in Illinois. Wide disparities among student groups remain, especially among the 45 percent of public school students who come from low-income families. That was the conclusion of a report from Voices for Illinois Children, a group focusing on improving the lives of children throughout the state…"
- Report shows Knox County students perform better than state averages, By Tom Loewy, February 18, 2011, Galesburg Register-Mail: "An annual report focused on the well-being of Illinois' children released more data Thursday that showed an increasing number of kids in Knox County live in households struggling to make ends meet. But the Voices for Illinois Children's '2011 Illinois Kids Count' data reports did show that despite economic and social challenges, Knox County's third-graders performed above the state averages on the Illinois Standards Achievement Test during the 2009-2010 school year. According to '2011 Illinois Kids Count,' 81.8 percent of third-graders in Knox County meet or exceed the state standard in reading. Only 73.7 percent of their counterparts in the state meet or exceed the state standard in reading…"
State Medicaid Program – Texas
- State keeps pressing for waiver to change Medicaid, but success is unlikely, By Emily Ramshawand Marilyn Werber Serafini, February 17, 2011, New York Times: "Just a few months ago, Gov. Rick Perry led a group of Texas lawmakers who were threatening to drop out of Medicaid, the state-federal health care program for the poor. A state analysis showing that Texas would lose billions of dollars in financing put an end to talk of opting out. Now, the debate has shifted, as Texas and other struggling states ask Washington for permission to operate the program as they see fit. Their approach – finding savings by curbing mandatory benefits or limiting eligibility among Medicaid populations – is unlikely to be approved by the Obama administration, which is intent on expanding Medicaid, not shrinking it. And while pressing for a waiver is a far cry from threatening to drop out, it may have the same result: fueling the fire behind Texas' anti-Washington, state-sovereignty rhetoric…"
- Cutting Medicaid harder than issuing soundbites, senators learn, By Robert T. Garrett, February 14, 2011, Dallas Morning News: "Texas budget writers are finding that cutting Medicaid is harder than it sounds. Reducing services that states don't have to provide for poor adults is already a part of both chambers' initial budgets. But Senate health budget writers were warned Monday to tread carefully for fear of costing the state more in the long run…"
Rural Broadband Access
Digital age is slow to arrive in rural America, By Kim Severson, February 17, 2011, New York Times: "After a couple of days in this part of rural Alabama, it is hard to complain about a dropped iPhone call or a Cee Lo video that takes a few seconds too long to load. The county administrator cannot get broadband at her house. Neither can the sportswriter at The Thomasville Times. Here in Coffeeville, the only computer many students ever touch is at the high school. 'I'm missing a whole lot,' said Justin Bell, 17. 'I know that.' As the world embraces its digital age – two billion people now use the Internet regularly – the line delineating two Americas has become more broadly drawn. There are those who have reliable, fast access to the Internet, and those, like about half of the 27,867 people here in Clarke County, who do not. In rural America, only 60 percent of households use broadband Internet service, according to a report released Thursday by the Department of Commerce. That is 10 percent less than urban households. Over all, 28 percent of Americans do not use the Internet at all…"
State Unemployment Insurance Funds
As unemployment insurance debts mount, interest payments loom, By Pamela M. Prah, February 16, 2011, Stateline.org: "For more than two years, stubbornly high unemployment has been taking a toll on the nation's workforce, but for states, the mounting costs of paying benefits to millions of people who can't find work are only beginning to become clear. Come this fall, some 30 states will be on the hook for paying $1.3 billion to the federal government for loans they took out to keep sending unemployment checks to workers who've lost their jobs. And that's just the interest. In total, states owe the feds more than $42 billion, a tab they hope will evaporate on its own as the economy improves but will require decreasing benefits or raising taxes on businesses if it doesn't…"
Welfare Reform – Britain
- Britain begins welfare overhaul, By Sarah Lyall, February 17, 2011, New York Times: "The British government on Thursday introduced legislation that it said would simplify and reduce the cost of the country's welfare system, saying that it wanted to change a culture in which people on welfare risk losing income if they find jobs. Calling his proposals 'the most ambitious, fundamental and radical changes to the welfare system since it began,' after World War II, Prime Minister David Cameron said in a speech here that they were based on a simple idea: 'Never again will work be the wrong financial choice…'"
- Welfare reform: Find a job or lose benefits, mothers to be told, By Patrick Wintour, February 17, 2011, The Guardian: "All stay at home mothers claiming the government's new universal credit will be required to make themselves available for work or lose state support, putting them on a par with single parents for the first time. The requirement would apply to mothers with children aged over seven. The proposals came in the government's welfare bill published on Thursday and were hailed by David Cameron as 'tough, radical … but fair'. His remarks came as ministers published a raft of figures alongside the bill, for the first time showing the full impact of the introduction of universal credit and other welfare cutbacks announced by ministers. The figures show 1.7m households will lose out from the universal credit reforms…"
- Welfare reform: 'most radical shake-up for 60 years', By Randeep Ramesh, February 17, 2011, The Guardian: "Iain Duncan Smith's radical welfare bill, perhaps the most significant reshaping of the welfare state in 60 years, aims to simplify the system of subsidies that covers everything from income support to housing benefit to sickness payments. For the government the aim is to remove the benefit traps that see some people lose 90p in every extra pound they earn as means-tested benefits are withdrawn. The new system will be paid for by deep cuts in welfare, as ministers push through savings of £18bn over the next four years. There are signs of an unseemly rush to push through the bill, with details on a new child maintenance scheme published two months before a consultation on the issue is finished…"
Medicaid Eligibility – Arizona
Sebelius clears the way for Arizona to shed adults from Medicaid, By Kevin Sack, February 16, 2011, New York Times: "The Obama administration gave a green light on Tuesday to Arizona's plan to remove about 250,000 adults from its Medicaid rolls, instructing the state that it could circumvent a requirement in the new health care law that prohibits reductions in eligibility. In a letter to Gov. Jan Brewer, the secretary of health and human services, Kathleen Sebelius, wrote that Arizona's expansion of Medicaid to cover low-income childless adults had been enacted a decade ago with special permission from the federal government, known as a waiver. That waiver, Ms. Sebelius wrote, is time-limited and expires Sept. 30…"

I was out for a big ride on my El Mariachi today. Of the (approximately) 8 hours duration, 30 minutes was spent thinking "I'm glad I'm on a 29er". The rest was spent thinking "I wish I'd brought my 9:zero:7".
I also have a Carbon Blur XC hanging up in the garage. It's been ridden maybe 4 times in the past two years. And a carbon Cube road bike. Frankly, I really enjoy the Amazon more. It's comfier, lesh harsh and, if slightly slower, gets me anywhere I want to go quickly enough.
So, I'm beginning to think a fatbike and a Ti tourer/CX is all I really need

Modifying source code in accounting software applications has emerged as a strong opportunity for accountants who want to be involved in technology consulting but may want to stop short of reselling or implementing systems.
There is much confusion in the business community over the availability of source code in popular accounting software products and over other issues associated with modifying the software to meet users' special needs, says Richard Morochove, a Toronto Canada-based technology consultant and columnist for PCWorld magazine. He makes that point in his latest column for that magazine, which is suitably entitled: Tech at Work: When Off-the-Rack Software Doesn't Fit.
He notes that small businesses running "off-the-rack" accounting software -- that is systems that are pre-packaged for general market use and are not extensively modified when implemented -- can be quite satisfied with the software until the businesses develop new special requirements. Then, he warns, "Using a packaged application can be like wearing a jacket with sleeves that are uncomfortably short."
Examples of how a small business's operations may go beyond its packaged accounting application's capabilities include dealing with customers in a distinctly different way or offering more options in products and services than most of the competitors in their industry offer.
While off-the-rack accounting applications are typically designed to allow businesses to run operations in much the same basic ways, it's a different story when the end user business makes a part of its operations distinctive or unique. To make the system workable when the business has special methods can require modifying the system's source code.
But, according to Morochove, while some business accounting applications claim to be "open source," accessing the code and adjusting accounting systems can require paying additional, unexpected fees to the vendor. "Applications for which source code is available should not be confused with open-source software," he warns.
For the CPA providing technology expertise to their small business clients, this means there's an opportunity to advise on just how available the source code is in the packages being considered for purchase, and to later help modify the software as the client's requirements change. Morochove notes, "Modifying the source code for an accounting application requires more technical knowledge than installing a packaged application. You may need support from a contract programmer or experienced consultant."
In his full-time work, Morochove advises businesses on technology implementation issues, but does not resell any specific products. He is well-known to some CPA technology consultants because he has been a featured speaker at annual conferences of what is now the Accpac group of Sage Software.
Richard Oppenheim, a certified public accountant and head of the Oppenheim Business Group in Denver, agrees that open source code issues are a critical consulting area. .
"Open source code applications are an important part of the computer landscape and need a proper evaluation when making computer decisions. While open source code licensing has no cost, open source computing is not 'free'." Oppenheim wrote for www.accountingsoftware411.com in an article entitled "Pros and Cons of Open Source Code Accounting Software."
To be sure, his article dealt primarily with open source code accounting applications and operating systems, developed by public user groups rather than the issue of the source code available in pre-packaged solutions. Just the same, the article notes that open source code accounting applications are highly preferable over typical off-the-rack "paid for" accounting applications.
However, Oppenheim also notes that open source code can have a negative side, and urges small businesses considering using open source code accounting to first ask themselves: :
- Do you have technical staff or will you rely solely on outsiders?
- Does the staff have the time and resources to learn the new application?
- What resources will be needed to convert your existing data?

Ron Ranson of Leucadia will take the road less-traveled ---- actually he'll travel on what isn't a road at all, but a scrape in the cliff punctuated by an occasional flimsy rope bridge.
For his last few trips to mystical Nepal, Ranson has eschewed the "ordinary," like a hike up to Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain in the world. Ranson notes that in one month alone more than 10,000 people registered at a certain spot on that route.
"That kind of trekking never appealed to me," Ranson said.
No, his treks ---- "10 days in and 10 days out" ----- have taken him to areas so remote that every bite of food and bit of equipment has to be carried with him via human porters.
This year, those porters happily turned into a video crew.
Ranson and his adult son, Tim, filmed some documentaries, including a six-minute video on the prayer flags of Nepal. That video will be shown continuously during the Prayer Flag Project Oct. 14-Dec. 30 at the Oceanside Museum of Art, 704 Pier View Way.
A preview reception is scheduled from 4 to 5 p.m. on Oct. 13. It costs $10 for the public but is free for members and prayer-flag artists.
"We've got about a hundred (flags) from all over the world ---- from Sweden and Australia and all over the United States," according to Danielle Susalla Deery, the museum's director of exhibits and communications.
She added in a news release that "Prayer flags have been used in Tibet for centuries as a means to promote peace, compassion, strength and wisdom. Traditionally, they are woodblock prints printed with text and images that are hung outdoors in high places where the wind passes through the flags carrying the depicted blessings to all people.
Flags are most commonly found in five colors: blue, white, red, green and yellow, representing the five elements."
Ranson said that, although the flags are from Nepal, birthplace of Gautama Buddha, the northern part of that mountainous country is influenced by Tibetan Buddhism.
The flags fly even "in the most incredibly poor" communities, he said. "People who have nothing to spend on themselves, spend money on prayer flags."
On his first trip to Nepal ---- a stint with the Peace Corps from 1964-66 ---- Ranson taught high-school and college English in a town 70 miles from the Nepali capital of Kathmandu.
At the time, Ranson, a graduate of the then-College of the Pacific in Stockton, was one year into his master-of-fine-arts-in-theater graduate program at UCLA when he took a two-year leave.
He returned to Nepal for a month-long visit in 1973 and got married there.
In 2003, Ranson retired as a professor of theater design at UCSD. He has lived in Encinitas since 1979 and served two terms on the city's Arts Commission.
He has gone back to Nepal again in 2009, with his second wife, Nikola, an English-born psychotherapist, and in 2010 with both his sons, Tim general manager of the Las Olas Mexican restaurant in Carlsbad, and Andrew of Baltimore.
This year, he returned again with Tim to make the films.
"It was just amazing, growing up for 30 years and hearing about such a far-away place with monsoons and tigers and then actually being there," Tim Ranson said. "It was surreal."
"Sometimes," he said, "you don't know where you are ---- the 6th century?"
He said that filming the prayer flags "there was such a peace I've never felt before" and if everyone in the world felt like that, there would be no more conflict.
Pupils at Paul Ecke Central School in Encinitas collected shoes for Ranson to take to Nepal, after he provided a slide presentation depicting children barefoot in the snow.
Besides the continuous video for the museum, Ron and Tim Ranson have filmed an hour-long DVD and six-minute meditative apps for mobile devices.
They'll present a "general look at Nepal" at 11 a.m. Dec. 8 at the museum.
Boys & Girls Club gala: Longtime community leader Mary Steiger is hoping for a sell-out Saturday evening at the gala in the museum to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Oceanside Boys & Girls Club and commend its work serving 1,400 youngsters daily..

Cross Listed as COMP335
The realist novel has a thing for good form: preoccupied with figuring an entire social world in its pages, it also turns a granular-level lens upon the nicer aspects of social life and etiquette. Some literary historians even have pegged the novel's rise to the civilizing process itself. Not just a good read, the novel taught us not to kill each other at the dinner table, and not to use a fish fork to eat our salad. Manners, it turns out, figure some of the most pressing concerns of modernity: the nature of social authority amidst increasingly fluid notions of class, the role of taste in the discourse of aesthetics, and the relation of civilization to its discontents. This course will think about the novel's interest in good form, both within fictional worlds and in the novel's sense of itself as becoming something more refined than mass culture as it enters the 20th century. We will read novels alongside work on style and taste, ranging from etiquette books to philosophical writing on aesthetics, as well as sociological theories of taste as an engine of social distinction. How does something as quaint as good manners becomes a means of registering, and contending with, the vicissitudes of modernity in fiction, from the perfection of social form in Oscar Wilde to the tactful reticence of Henry James? While focused on the 19th century, we also will take up one contemporary heir to the novel of manners, American Psycho, in which the desire to keep up appearances becomes a gothic compulsion. Likely novelists include Jane Austen, William Thackeray, Oscar Wilde, Henry James, Edith Wharton, Bret Easton Ellis. Theorists will include Pierre Bourdieu, Theodor Adorno, and Erving Goffman, among others.

Mainland linebacker Quinton Powell is scheduled to make his college decision live on ESPNU at 12:15 p.m. Wednesday.
Quinton Powell is ready to let the world know where he will play college football.
The Mainland linebacker — ESPN's 99th-ranked senior — will lead a local class of 22 players who have said they will make their college decisions Wednesday on National Signing Day. It is the first day that high school seniors can sign a binding letter of intent with a college — and for the local class, some of the country's top football programs will be in play.
Powell is scheduled to choose between Southern Cal, South Carolina, Miami and Oregon at 12:15 p.m. live on ESPNU.
"Wednesday is that time when all the hard work pays off and the process is over," he said.
"It is a day that I never thought I would go through. It's just amazing to have this opportunity. And for me to be that important to have the chance to do it on national television is just a blessing."
New Smyrna Beach will kick off the local signing day schedule at 9 a.m., with wide receiver James Clark scheduled to decide between Florida, Ohio State and Clemson, and defensive end Davarez Bryant slated to choose between Florida State and Iowa State.
At 11 a.m., Trinity Christian athlete Marquion Lane — who visited West Virginia last weekend and said the Mountaineers are his favorite — is scheduled to announce his plans.
DeLand will follow at 11:30 a.m., with as many seven players making their decisions. Tailback Jojo Kemp — who committed to Kentucky on Friday night — leads the list. Linebacker Lincoln Stewart and defensive back Coleton Robinson have committed to Wofford, while Dantwaun O'Neal has committed to Tennessee State.
"It's tough playing football in high school," said Al Manning, DeLand's interim coach last season. "You have to put a lot of time in it, and you don't have a lot of free time. We have some good kids, and it is good to see them get this opportunity."
Mainland is scheduled to begin its signing ceremony at noon. Buccaneers offensive lineman Wayne Scott, who committed to Kent State on Monday, and defensive tackle Jontey Byrd are expected to join Powell in signing with FBS programs.
And at 12:30 p.m., Flagler Palm Coast tight end Dustin Bowens is expected to follow through on his verbal commitment and sign with Florida Atlantic.

and that means from any faith before I get attacked. :-p I'm just wondering do you blame God for getting cancer? Apologise if this question has been asked before. I'm just wondering today. I'm from the colon board, and some of our members are fighting the big C again, just months out of being in remission. I'm Christian, and I have suffered a lot not just with cancer, but I don't blame God. I might blame him sometimes for the relationships I get into, but even then I know it's down to who you attract, so I'm like a kid moaning to his dad. But I do not blame him for this or the loss of my mum.
Jan 16, 2011 - 3:53 pm
I would not blame God for getting cancer any more than I would credit Him for curing cancer. I do not think that you could find anything in any Holy Book that would even entertain that thought. If cancer were based on being a sinner, why haven't people who are dictators or murders getting cancer?
As far as relationships go, I would think that if you are a Christian or of any of the other major faiths that the question of "free will" would come into play. People seem to attract certain types of people. I see it all the time with friends dating or marrying the same type of people and it never works out and I doubt it will until they break that pattern.
Now, if you were suffering from a plague of locusts, then I'd worry...
Jan 19, 2011 - 1:09 pm
I don't blame God, but I do wonder why he doesn't help His children more. It seems to me that those that are closer to Him, seem to suffer more. Why? I don't get it. This is something that I've been pondering, meditating on.
Jan 19, 2011 - 2:49 pm
The god of the old testament (bible), the god familiar to hebrews, christians, AND muslims, was not averse to testing his believers with trials and tribulations.
Look no further than the book of Job to find such an example. Do not skip past Abraham and the request to offer his son in sacrifice as an example.
Beyond that, of course, in the new testament god is certainly standing by while lucifer tempts jesus. Examples abound.
I would advise that 'those who are closer to him' do not suffer more, certainly not. Cancer is clearly without bias. I would suggest instead that you know more people of your own faith and thus witness their woes more frequently.
I wish you the best, in any event.
Take care,
Jan 19, 2011 - 5:53 pm
First, Hi Sonya, good topic. Now, I have to say, suffering is difficult to comprehend sometimes since it is relative to the subject witnessing it. What terribly hurts my wife is barely a scratch to me so by what standard do we decide is suffering? Example, the old saying, "I felt sorry that I had no shoes until I met a man that had no feet". Who is really suffering? I am religious and I would never blame God for anything that I encounter in my life. It is MY life to live and my "cross to bear" that I freely accept. I must say that I have known many people, personally, to appear to suffer in life and their faith lessens that suffering. I think truly religious Christians know that what we endure pales in comparison to what Christ endured so we put it in perspective. When I was going through treatment I had minor difficulties but they were TRIVIAL compared to what others on these boards live with everyday. Tell someone you had burning diahrea that brought tears to your eyes five times a day for five weeks and they may think that is pure Hell. But that is a MINOR side effect of chemoradiation.(I was thankfull that was all I had) Imagine how women gave birth centuries ago with no pain medication or santitation. That would be considered great suffering by today's standards. So, I believe people with "true faith" in any religion don't suffer as much as others since they have the relief in site. Like the saying" the harder the fight, the sweeter the victory" we know we will suffer while here, everyone does, but we know how much better it will be when we are done here. Many "religious" people feel guilty when they don't suffer any negative circumstances because they know so many other people do. Suffering is a necessary part of life to allow us to appreciate the opposite. You would not appreciate the Sun if you never knew the night. I thank God for some of the trials I have endured to bring me to a point in my life where I enjoy minor things and appreciate thing others overlook. I lost both parents and grandparents before I was 30 years old, had my heart broken (a couple times), had many health battles now including cancer but I would not say I have suffered more (or less)than the next person. And I assign no blame for any of it.
Jan 19, 2011 - 4:20 pm
After my love's dire diagnosis, I began to ask God for a miracle. At first I asked for total and complete healing. I believed that if it could be done, it would be God who could do this. As time passed, and his cancer progressed, I began to ask that he could make it to the next chance for chemo and go into remission, even for a little more time. Two months ago, I began to ask that my love not suffer the pains and ravages of this Beast called lung cancer. Four and a half weeks ago, I began to pray that his death would be as pain free as possible, with peace and love surrounding him.
On Dec. 20th, he left this world with Jesus. Our room was softly lit, soft music playing and all those he loved and loved him surrounded him. For hours he rested calmly, sedated as to not feel any pain. I kissed and held him.
Was my prayer answered? Honestly, in the hours after his passing, I felt they had not. I asked for a miracle, that he be healed. He died, so he was not healed! The next day a feeling came over me, an Aha moment. He was healed, not as I had wished or willed, but as God had. And after further meditation, an even larger Aha moment! All my prayers had been answered.
So do I blame God for my love having gotten cancer? Do I blame God for taking him from me? No. For me, placing blame is not productive. It would overwhelm me with anger and bitterness. The sadness and grief are enough emotions to deal with.
Blessings and best wishes for you,
Jan 20, 2011 - 2:39 pm
We seem to have a compulsion to want to blame someone or something for everything bad that happens to us. Perhaps this a way of finding meaning and understanding in what appears to be an irrational occurrence. Blaming is in fact contrary to divine faith because it is an attempt to try and regain control over what we think is unreasonable.
People of faith spend their whole lives trying to let go of their ego and live solely by the will of God. Just because something happens that I don't like, does that mean God is against me or punishing me? We often will lose or question faith when things don't go our way, but that is not how God works. Our beliefs do not give us permission to dictate to God what we think He should do for us. Rather, isn't faith trusting God to always provide what is best for us, even when we don't understand it?
Furthermore, some find intense trials, like cancer, to be a time of conversion or great deepening of their belief. For me, it has made me see how little control I over myself or things around me, and reminds me that I NEED God even more then ever.
Jan 31, 2011 - 2:26 pm
I don't blame God for getting Cancer, but it is hard at times praying when another side affects starts showing up and giving more problems then the last one. I think that I am now at the point where I look at it like Job did, what ever the reason God knows best and so I just put it all in his hands and move forward in to a new day with him.
Take care

Gains in transportation, communications and utilities helped drive the city's jobless rate down to its lowest level since April.
The rate fell by an unadjusted 0.8 percent to 2.8 percent, the Texas Workforce Commission reported Thursday.
The city's three sectors combined for 200 of the 400 jobs created in September.
The remaining jobs involved contract-school labor, in which teachers and support staff returned to work after summer vacation.
Although the gains were significant, they weren't nearly as large as the 2,000 jobs created during the same September period a year ago.
Lubbock's total employed workforce stood at an unadjusted 125,600. In August, the same number of workers were employed. One year ago, the city's employed workforce stood at 123,200.
In the 15-county South Plains Workforce Development Area, which includes Lubbock, the jobless rate was pegged at an unadjusted 3.3 percent, compared with 3.7 percent in August. One year ago, the South Plains WDA unemployment rate stood at 2.9 percent.
There were 185,184 residents working within the WDA in September, compared with 185,358 in August. One year ago, 181,626 residents were employed.
Hockley County registered the biggest one-month gain, adding 396 workers.
Only two counties Crosby and Garza made employment gains over the nine-month period. All other counties within the WDA either held their own or experience declines.
Lubbock County recorded the greatest number of job reductions down 491. However, gains recorded in other counties were attributed to jobs created within the Hub City.
To the north, Amarillo jobless unemployment stood at an unadjusted 3.8 percent unchanged from August.
The Panhandle city gained 700 jobs as a result of schools reopening. However, Amarillo lost 400 jobs in the service and construction sector.
To the south, the Permian Basin's jobless rate stood at 6.1 percent, also unchanged from the previous month.
The Midland/Odessa area gained 1,000 jobs. All were attributed to schools entering a new term. Oil and gas employment remained constant.
Lubbock ranked second among the state's 10 largest Metropolitan Statistical Areas boasting among the lowest jobless rates.
Other West Texas cities of note included San Angelo at 3.8 percent, Abilene at 4.2 percent and Wichita Falls at 5.9 percent.

Netflix Has Officially Redefined Itself
Netflix recently changed its "long term view" note to reflect the new way it sees itself: as a TV network.
Netflix made a bunch of small tweaks to the wording in a note meant to advise investors, first pointed out by BTIG analyst Rich Greenfield, but the most telling one is that Netflix changed the sentence that simply read "We are movies and TV shows" to "We are a movie and TV series network."
The change may reflect Netflix's successful focus on original shows similar to those on traditional TV networks like HBO or AMC. "We're now at the scale where we can economically create original content, debuting on and fully-exclusive to Netflix," the page reads. "Our first five shows were Lilyhammer, House of Cards, Hemlock Grove, Arrested Development Season 4, and Orange is the New Black."
In the past, Netflix had written that while from a business standpoint it is "an Internet TV network," in the eyes of consumers it is "a service and an app, while ESPN and HBO are channels." The company made no such distinction in the updated document, even suggesting that apps will override the concept of "channels" in the coming years.
This "original content" section is much more fleshed out than before, reflecting Netflix's desire to become a destination for high-brow television series. Netflix writes that it hopes to create shows as great as "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad." "With a great original like House of Cards we have created a series of equal perceived quality and have generated the excitement around Netflix."
Netflix's gambit has paid off so far. Over 5 percent of Netflix's bandwidth was said to be used watching the fourth season of "Arrested Development" when it premiered in May. Netflix also gained more than 3 million subscribers during the quarter when "House of Cards" premiered. Netflix plans to double its original television programming.
Still, Netflix cleverly acknowledges the realities of Internet video. "We compete very broadly for a share of members' time and spending, against linear networks, DVDs, other internet networks, video games, web browsing, magazine reading, video piracy, and much more," another section of the document, highlighted by Quartz, reads.

General Question
Can anyone recommend a bank in Texas for my small business?
Asked by cityshark (100) November 4th, 2012
I'm starting my first business and want to feel comfortable with a long-term financial institution. My personal experience with Wells Fargo has been lukewarm and I've heard great things about Chase. Can anyone recommend a bank who is reliable, stable, and less likely to be penny-pinchers such as Wells fargo?

text: Posted February 15, 2014 · Report post Here's the backstory: I've had little to no acne before high school, but during my junior year, I started developing big, lingering zits that would leave brown marks. And so I started taking zinc, and have been taking it for about 3 years. It eventually improved my face into an almost perfect state, even when my lazy habits get the best of me. While it has been effective, I figured it would do me no good to take it long term, and so I started reducing my intake and I eventually quit about 9 months ago. My skin remained exceptionally clear until I decided to take daily ACV shots. During this time, I started getting a big cysts around my TOM (which I never did previously before starting ACV), and about two months ago, I had developed a clump of stubborn white heads, thus I stopped ACV. While quitting the ACV, I also started incorporating zinc again about 5 weeks ago to counter the lingering acne. I guess you can say the tiny whiteheads subsided, but the process involved some of them becoming crazy inflamed and then finally dying down which left pigmentation. During the first week, I thought it was really helping, as the zits healed impressively quick. However, fast-forwarding through the month, I was breaking out quite frequently. I was growing weary, but assumed it was just the so-called purging phase. And even if so, this was quite surprising, as I have NEVER had an initial breakout from past experiences with zinc. And for 5 weeks?! My acne wasn't even that bad to start with! This is discerning, and I can certainly say my skin is looking much worse from before I started the zinc again. I am going to come off of it starting today to see if my assumptions are correct. Will update. Meanwhile, I was wondering if any of you have experienced a worsening in your acne upon supplementing zinc. Other details: -I have taken the same brand and type of zinc all throughout the years. -I have also been taking fish oil (omega 3s) consistently for many years, and it has never affected my acne. In fact, it probably helped. -skincare routine has remained the same throughout the years as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boaz Yona Seeks Forgiveness
Yesterday, two days before Yom Kippur, the former chief of defunct construction company Heftsiba, Boaz Yona, asked the thousands of people who suffered from his theft and fraud to forgive him.
According to a plea bargain, subject to the Jerusalem District Court's approval, Yona is to be sentenced to seven years in prison, receive an additional suspended sentence, and pay a fine of NIS 4 million to the company's victims. The money would be raised by his friends and associates.
"I look in the eyes of the victims and say: I failed, I have erred, and I ask for forgiveness," Yona told the court, addressing the victims of the company's collapse a year ago, who lost their money after buying apartments from him.
He asked Judge Moshe Ravid and, for one confusing moment, seemed to be appealing to heaven as well. He expressed the hope that his apology would be accepted, not just heard.
Heftsiba crumbled overnight in early August 2007, leaving hundreds of homeowners empty-handed and Yona overseas with, allegedly, more than NIS 100 million in money stolen from the company. The former CEO and controlling shareholder was later extradited to Israel from Italy and signed a plea bargain.
But 26-year-old Mali Siruta, a victim of Yona's theft, fraud and conspiracy to commit other violations, was not so easily assuaged. "We are believing people," she said outside the courthouse. "On Yom Kippur we are mandated to forgive one another. But this Yom Kippur we won't forget and we won't forgive."
Her friend, 30-year-old Ofra Shuraki, from Har Homa, could also not be consoled. "My father is a religious man," she told Yona during one recess. "I paid you money, right? I bought an apartment, NIS 85,000. I took out a 25-year mortgage. Please, give me back the money. Don't make me a slave my entire life," she said.
Later, she addressed him quietly. "They told me it was a big company, that there was nothing to worry about," she said. "Believe me, I understand," Yona answered. "You don't understand," she said. "Tell me where the money is." Yona had no answer.
Attorney Yitzhak Molcho, who handled the arrangements for victims with the banks, asked the court to divert part of the sum to between 50 and 100 of 4,650 families who were victims of the company's collapse. Molcho described their situation as dire, but Yona pledged he was on the case.
"We will keep working right down to the last apartment buyer," Yona told the court. I have sworn that that's what I'll do, and I'm willing to answer for it."
He told the court that he had done everything possible to prevent the company's collapse. "My ardent wish to prevent the collapse with my body and soul, in any way possible, was out of a feeling of obligation to my clients, even if they don't think so," he said as he looked at Shuraki and her friends.
The judge, however, did not appear convinced. Yona's lawyer Yair Golan argued that Yona had not sought to defraud the tenants, but had taken money from one tenant and invested it in another. "This is not fraud? This is fraud!" Judge Ravid responded.

"This is the first time that Ellis will go to auction. And indeed, for the Hollywood prop houses, this is the end of an era."
"From salt-and-pepper shakers made for some nondescript little comedy from the 1940s, to important pieces from important features of today, all exist at Ellis. It's hard to imagine any important film from the last century that some item from that film is not in some way here at Ellis."
"To put it bluntly, anytime you've worked your tail off and put five years into it, and to have your whole career in the hands of one guy - it's frustrating, very frustrating. But we just kept working."

"That was major. We know how explosive their offense is, so any time you can contain their running game and force (quarterback) Trent Green to go back there and pass the ball 30 or 40 times a game, I think it bodes well for us. It worked to our advantage (Monday)."
"I think every fan that comes to the game is into the game initially, but it depends on how the game is going,"
"I'm with him all the time. I've watched him from the start, seen his progress to now. See the type of dedication he has. The game now is starting to slow down for him on Sunday. There's a long way to go, and he'd be the first guy to tell you that, but I think he's just doing what he needs to do for us to be successful, to get everybody in the right place and go play."

Review: Run Don't Walk Pants
Review: Run Don't Walk Pants
Are you looking for some pre- or postgym pants that you can pull on over your workout gear? I'm always looking for a flattering yet comfy fit and that's what I found in these Run Don't Walk Pants ($110) made by Cloudveil.
I know that may seem like a lot of moolah, but you've got to feel this amazing material. It's super-soft, light-weight microfiber that's smooth on the outside and lightly brushed velour on the inside. They are perfect for slipping on over my workout gear to head to the gym and I also wear them after my workout (since I'd rather not head to the grocery store in tight spandex shorts). Since this fabric wicks moisture and dries super fast, I've also worn them while strength training or doing yoga. My favorite part is that the material is thick enough to keep its shape, so they never look really baggy. Plus I've washed them at least 10 times and they still look like when I first got them (making them worth the price). Might I add that I wear them all the time while lounging at home? I live in the chocolate ones, but they also come in black and kiwi. If you're interested in checking them out (and I suggest you do) you can order them here.

Recycle Bin
So if you're like me and prefer a nice clean desktop you probably don't have any desktop icons visible, or in my case, none at all with the exception of the pesky Recycle Bin.
It would be nice if I could simply drag it in to the taskbar with all the other icons, but that doesn't happen.
I can hide/unhide desktop icons to gain access to the RB, but I was looking for a much simpler solution.
Does anyone know of a simple solution?

With all the current talk and speculation about mobile testing, you might be wondering, "is now a good time to jump into testing?" and the answer is yes. New functionality built into Adobe Analytics and Target libraries, including the release of "Lifecycle Metrics," makes testing and optimizing on your mobile application much more seamless and effortless.
With the latest release of the ADMS App Measurement SDK, marketers now have the following metrics available to target to within Adobe Target (also available here) :
To see some of the new Lifecycle Metric possibilities, we will demo some test ideas on the Spotify mobile app.
The first screen on the Spotify app is the splash screen/"home" screen, with options to login via Facebook or your standard Spotify credentials. Here is a perfect scenario to test leveraging the Lifecycle Metric Events, such as "InstallEvent" or "UpgradeEvent". By harnessing key visit or engagement events marketers can now personalize the welcome experience like never before.
Another example of optimization in the Spotify app comes on their "Discover" page, a personalized view of recommended music. Beyond the typical layout, copy, and call to action testing, Adobe Target allows you to customize how to deliver the content to each user individually. Here, a few optimization ideas include:
- Changing the recommended music daily based on engagement, recorded preferences, in-app behaviors, number of views, and more
- Test low/high resolution images as supported by the device
- Present the visitor multiple song options on the screen at one time, passing visitor tastes into SiteCatalyst & Target for further analysis
- Showcasing social elements such as Facebook friends who have also listened, number of friends who listened, trends, or links to purchase the song
Finally, many pay-for and premium sites that allow for a free or trial period look for the "sweet spot" in views/songs/opens etc. With the "Launches" LifeCycle metric, now marketers can easily monitor and test displaying premium registration messaging to find your visitors' paywall. Not only does this provide insight into customer purchase behaviors, but will also shed light on potential cost-based segmentation strategies.
These are only a few examples of how the new Lifecycle Metrics and mobile application libraries can help you easily and quickly test your company's app. Reach out to your Adobe Account Manager today to learn more and get started.

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- Peter Forsberg scored twice and set up another goal Saturday as Colorado continued its month-long tear with a 5-3 victory over Pittsburgh.
Forsberg, who missed four games with a groin injury, snapped a 1-1 tie 75 seconds into the second period and added his 12th of the season with 4:31 remaining in the third. All-Star snub Milan Hejduk assisted on both goals.
Colorado improved to 10-1-1-1 this month and leads the NHL with 66 points.
The Avalanche completed an unbeaten four-game road trip (3
1) and improved to 9
1 at Pittsburgh since Feb. 21, 1995.
Joe Sakic scored his 21st goal 82 seconds into the game to get the Avalanche going and Teemu Selanne and Steve Konowalchuk followed Forsberg's tally in the second period.
The Penguins rallied in the third period. They climbed within 4-3 on goals by Milan Kraft and Brooks Orpik.

I'm getting married next month in NYC. We're not keen on the location's house wines (Lindeman's bin 65 Chardonnay and a Rosemount Shiraz).
We'll be having around 100 guests, and will be serving beef, chicken, and pasta in yet-to-be-determined preparations.
Does anyone have any recommendations for wholesalers/stores within driving distance of Manhattan where we can buy our own wine? We need a place that will let us return unused bottles. I'd give a price range, but I have no idea how much these things cost so I don't even have a basis for comparison.
Also, any suggestions for wines that would be tastier than the ones I've listed above but that would still be reasonably priced? In terms of "tasty in which way," I don't know much about wine, but I did not consider the Chardonnay drinkable. For whites I tend to like Albarino, but we would like to buy American wines.
Thanks for any advice you all have. I know very little about wine, so I appreciate your patience!

Packers undergo makeover on defensive line
The Green Bay Packers will be younger, smaller and perhaps altogether different in the defensive line from a year ago.
Whether or not the unit can show marked improvement might be the difference if it's a good or great season for the Packers.
Ryan Pickett and Johnny Jolly, formidable run stuffers and locker-room leaders for much of the Mike McCarthy administration, weren't re-signed. Hard-trying C.J. Wilson had no offer and departed for Oakland.
It was status quo one year ago when 98.5 percent of the D-line snaps from 2012 returned. This offseason exodus left just 63.1 percent of the 2013 snaps present and accounted for.
"This is a great opportunity for a lot of young players," position coach Mike Trgovac said. "Just like at some point Johnny's role increased when he was a young player, and same thing with Pickett. It's just the natural evolution of guys playing in the NFL."
GM Ted Thompson added five D-linemen in the first five rounds of the last three drafts. In March, he made a rare veteran free-agent acquisition by signing nose tackle Letroy Guion 11 days after he was cut by the Minnesota Vikings.
So, at age 28, B.J. Raji will be facing all the questions from the young guys that forever were directed to Pickett, 34, and Jolly, 31.
"When we played a team like Minnesota, they were a pound-'em team and you like those big bodies in there," Trgovac said. "They played a lot of good football for us. There's still a place for those guys."
It just was no longer in Green Bay, which on paper still would be among the 16 teams using the 3-4 as its base defense but in actuality might join Bill Belichick's New England Patriots with a defense multiple enough to use both 3-4 and 4-3 fronts.
In the first five seasons under coordinator Dom Capers, Trgovac coached more of a read-and-react than penetrating style of line play.
Will the Packers employ more of an up-the-field, one-gap scheme than its more common two-gap look?
"Maybe a little bit," said Trgovac. "But we still have that (two-gap) in our system. And we didn't two-gap as much as people think we two-gapped. We'll have to see what (Capers) gravitates to more."
Late last season, Trgovac praised the point-of-attack play of the 340-pound Pickett, the 330-pound Jolly and the 307-pound Wilson.
On the down side, none of the three could rush the passer or offer much in pursuit.
Run defense is an 11-man affair, but the D-line deserved its share of the blame for why resistance too often collapsed. After being pierced for 13 runs of 20 yards or more in the last seven games of 2012, the Packers yielded 18 more in '13.
That was more than a Green Bay defense had allowed in a season in more than two decades.
Capers hasn't had a run defense rank better than 14th since a No. 1 finish in 2009. It's probably why Thompson and McCarthy were so ready to get rid of some people and try somebody else.
"That's going to be a hard focus for us," Trgovac said. "We just need to cut those big plays out."
Pickett undoubtedly would have been re-signed if Raji's first 72 hours of free agency hadn't been so disappointing.
Considering Raji turned down in the neighborhood of $20 million guaranteed last fall from the Packers, he couldn't have been thrilled by his one-year, $4 million deal to return. The Packers were thrilled; they've always appreciated his total game.
Minus Pickett, Raji is back at nose tackle. In 2010, his finest season, he was the nose for every snap (264) of the 3-4 defense. Last season, when the Packers were in the 3-4, he played 85 snaps at nose and 180 as a three-technique (67 on the left side, 113 on the right) defensive tackle/end.
"I love B.J.'s attitude," said Trgovac. "He's really embraced the fact he's going to be a nose. B.J. had a lot of really good games last year. Probably could get more consistent."
Raji had his worst year rushing the passer and ranked last on the unit in tackles per snap. It remains to be seen whether Raji has the physical makeup and mindset in Year 6 to fight the reach and angle blocks that come from both sides down after down over center.
"You just didn't see the same type of effort and competitiveness that you'd like to see out of a guy with his talent," an NFC North personnel man said. "I saw him give up on a lot of plays. I think he wore down late in games."
Added another NFL executive: "If he's not better that means he can't play. He'll then play for a million (in 2015) and be out of football."
It's conceivable that if Raji doesn't rebound he could lose significant playing time to Guion. He's two inches taller than Raji, a good athlete and, at 315, has the strength to anchor a 3-4.
"It was a good bargain for Green Bay," an AFC personnel director said. "He'd be a lower-level NFL starter. He gives you base, he gives you some sub and he probably can go out and play a little five-(technique)."
Hardly a quick study, Guion's focus in Green Bay early was strictly nose tackle.
Based on the order of the 2013 draft, Datone Jones (No. 26) should be head and shoulders ahead of Josh Boyd (No. 167) at defensive end. But late last season Boyd was outperforming Jones, and now Trgovac says Boyd is capable of starting.
"He's got the physical ability to be a very good player in this league," he said. "Josh is 315. We're not just lacking big guys."
Jones has the prototypical height (6 feet 4 inches) and range the Packers have been seeking at five-technique since the arrival of Capers.
The UCLA product and Mike Neal project as the top candidates to join Mike Daniels as the two interior rushers in the nickel and dime. To start in base, Jones must play with more toughness and power than a year ago.
"He's got to step up his game is what he's got to do," an NFC scout said. "(Toughness) was kind of his issue in college. He didn't do anything until his senior year. Looks pretty, but something's missing."
The Packers' best D-lineman and most productive overall rusher was Daniels. He's at least adequate as a base end, too.
"I just want him to take the next step where he's maybe a little more consistent," Trgovac said. "Mike's a power rusher more than a finesse rusher. He's an ex-wrestler who likes to get in there with his hands and pull and tug."
Rookie Khyri Thornton, a third-round choice, isn't quite as heavy as Boyd but ran a better 40 (5.04 to 5.14). He lacks ideal height (6-2�) for base end, but the Packers saw outstanding interior quickness that fits well with their scheme alterations.
"He's a big kid," said Trgovac, who views Thornton as both a five- and three-technique. "And he can move."
Jerel Worthy, another premium-round pick, is 18 months removed from reconstructive knee surgery but had another abbreviated offseason and is in danger of getting lost in the shuffle.
Suspect against double teams in the run game, Worthy will have to flash early to make the club let alone see the field on passing downs.

In object-oriented languages there's a nifty feature called code inheritance. People tend to think that this is a really cool ™ thing, since it allows you to quickly slab some new features onto a class whenever the need arises. In fact, there still seems to be a lot of folks who think that the whole point of object-orientation is to subclass a lot.
I've previously worked with Microsoft MFC, which was designed that way (but remember, that was back 1992) – as was the class hierarchy that makes your Unreal Tournament tick. I've seen object hierarchies spreading over 15 levels, and more.
The only problem with code written that way is that it sucks. A lot.

Now the servo doesn't have a slot on the signal side, so for future reference, is that the convention for things without colored wires (side with slot = signal so match white/yellow to side with slot)?

This is a 2001 Custom Explorer van. The problem existed from the day of purchase. Dealer never found the problem. No longer under warrenty.
At sudden acceleration speeds generally over 60 mph or riding over Blue Ridge Mountains, service engine light comes on and van starts to shudder. I take my foot off the gas and reduce speed and the shuddering stops and the light eventually goes out. Van runs well on flat roads without taxing acceleration. Any ideas as to what is causing the problem?

SAS® Math Stretch app builds foundation for future math learning through simple numerical concepts
The SAS® Math Stretch app is available now on the App Store for iPad®. Designed for grades K-5, SAS Math Stretch teaches students how to think about numbers in new ways associated with success in higher-order math, such as Algebra. SAS Math Stretch is the latest addition to a growing portfolio of free resources for teaching and learning from SAS.
SAS Math Stretch promotes the concept of numeracy, the ability to reason and to apply simple numerical concepts. This approach improves basic math skills, which has been linked to higher performance on standardized math tests by high school seniors.
In findings published January 2, 2013, in The Journal of Neuroscience, researchers using functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on high school seniors showed a significant link between their brain responses while solving extremely basic, single-digit calculation problems and standard scores on the PSAT.
"SAS Math Stretch focuses on skills that foster long-term success in all levels of math," said Scott McQuiggan, Director, SAS Mobile Education. "Math competency builds students' confidence and expands their educational and career opportunities."
Today's announcement honors Pi Day, a global celebration of mathematics. SAS Math Stretch activities target counting, number relations and operations, and telling and manipulating time. Activities offer both practice and quiz modes, while settings allow students, parents and teachers to control the difficulty level of each activity independently. Practice sessions and completed quizzes can easily be shared with parents and teachers.
The SAS Math Stretch app is available for free from the App Store on iPad or at www.AppStore.com.
SAS Math Stretch joins a collection of free mobile learning apps from SAS, including SAS Flash Cards, SAS Gloss, SAS Read Aloud and SAS Data Notebook. In addition to the many SAS digital learning resources, SAS analytics and business intelligence software is used at more than 3,000 educational institutions worldwide for teaching, research and administration. For more than three decades, SAS has helped educational institutions improve performance and student outcomes.
