We launched our Dog Park wallpaper this week, and it's a product that's very near and dear to our hearts. Dogs are a huge part of our lives here at H&W, and we'd talked about doing a dog design for a long time. When we were planning our new collection with Julia Rothman, a fellow dog lover, we decided that it was high time we created something to celebrate how awesome dogs are.
Here's Christiana and Blaze (or Blazey as we affectionately called her). Blazey was a total sweetie pie of a dog. She used to love hiking with us in the canyons near our houses, and was an all around great companion. We still miss her.
And here I am with my childhood dog, Mikee. She was a toy poodle and because she was my parents' first baby, she was never super fond of me or my sister.
Okay, maybe it was partly my fault... Even though she was pretty fiesty and not overly friendly, we still loved her.
Fast forward to 1999 when my husband and I brought this lady home. Maggie, a black lab border collie mix, was in all respects the perfect dog. She was sweet, smart, athletic, loyal and we adored her.
Here she is playing swim fetch with Jackson, which was probably her most favorite thing to do in the entire world. Maggie was with us through many moves (Chicago, Florida, San Jose, Columbus and Minneapolis) and the births of both of the boys. We lost her to cancer in 2010, but not a day goes by that we don't talk about her. And my husband still says "Good night, Maggie" right before we fall asleep at night.
This little weirdo came into our lives in 2007 when I went to an adoption event while my husband was away on a business trip. I'd always wanted a pug or a corgi, and Wade just happens to be a mix of those two dogs. Wade is a total character with a lot of funny quirks and we thoroughly enjoy his "unique" personality.
And he indulges Christiana's and my hobby of sending dumb Wade selfies to each other, so he's got that going for him.
Margot has been a part of our family since 2011 - the rescue thought that she was a Catahoula Leopard Dog Australian Shepard mix, and we like to joke that she thinks she's a cat.
What dog sits and sleeps on stair risers, or drapes herself over the arm of a chair to rest? In order to remind us that she's actually a dog, one of her favorite pastimes is barking. She, like Wade, is pretty quirky, but we love her to pieces.
And that brings us to the baby of the family, Winter. She's been with us since 2013 and was probably the cutest puppy in the history of the world.
Even when she was being unbelievably naughty.
Winter is a true dog's dog unlike our other two. She's a fantastic swimmer and wishes we could just move to the cabin full time. She adores the boys and is a total sweetheart to everyone. And her ears are possibly the softest things on the face of the earth.
Thanks for letting us gush about our dogs! We sent photos of our doggies, and Julia incorporated them into the pattern when she designed Dog Park, so know you know a little more of the back story :) We decided to donate all of the profits from Dog Park to Copper's Dream rescue in San Francisco and Midwest Animal Rescue here in Minneapolis to help dogs find loving homes. We can't think of a better way to celebrate all of the dogs who have brought so much happiness and love into our lives.

By the time the Dallas Zoo closes its gates on New Year's Eve, its managers project that a record 880,000 people will have passed through the turnstiles this year.
The figure represents a quarter of a million more visitors since the Oak Cliff institution was spun off from city management three years ago, and more than double the annual attendance during a troubled period in the 1990s.
Gregg Hudson, the zoo president, was not shy about attributing the increase to the 2009 decision to privatize the facility, which had been run by the city since the late 19th century.
"We've been on a major roll for the last three years," he said. "It's about the ability to create opportunities for ourselves and more than anything, it's about great word-of-mouth from our visitors."
The 2012 attendance figure stood at the 860,000 mark this week, already easily surpassing the previous record, last year's final total of 790,730.
Although a 2009 agreement put management of the zoo into private hands, it requires the city to contribute an annual subsidy. Last year that subsidy was $12.8 million, representing about half the zoo's annual budget.
In 2009, the last year before the agreement took effect, the city contributed virtually all of what was then a $16 million budget.
Hudson also said the attendance gain reflected the popularity of the Giants of the Savanna habitat that opened in 2010, a bird show at the Wildlife Amphitheater that opened in 2011 and the Koala Walkabout exhibit, which opened last spring.
Earlier this month, an aging Large Mammals Building was demolished in the ZooNorth section. The space will be occupied next year by a picnic area that, among other amenities, will offer a mini-train for children.
Weather, always a major factor in zoo attendance, was a mixed blessing this year, Hudson said.
Fall has been relatively warm and dry, but the summer was hot and came with a West Nile virus scare that kept some people indoors.
Zoo officials also noted they have created 55 full-time jobs in the past three years — a development applauded by Mayor Mike Rawlings.
The zoo, he noted in a prepared statement, "has grown into a highly valuable city asset in an area where Dallas has the most potential for growth, southern Dallas. The Dallas Zoo is a great example of private management of a city asset done right, and it is paying off for our city."
The attendance figures represent the third consecutive year of record attendance, despite an admission hike the year before privatization took effect. Admission is now $12; $9 for children ages 3 to 11 and seniors.
The figures also offer evidence that the Dallas Zoo has overcome many of the problems of past decades.
City and zoo officials hoped to reverse years of decline by opening the Wilds of Africa exhibit in 1990. After an initial burst of interest, attendance again declined, bottoming out at just over 400,000 in 1993, a modern historical low.
Attendance grew slowly for the remainder of that decade, but plummeted again in 2004, a year after Jabari, an escaped gorilla, injured three visitors and brought the zoo international criticism.
The recent boom in visitors is usually dated to the opening of the savanna habitat in 2010. Attendance increased 17 percent that year.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Save Million Trees, Inc., West Palm Beach, FL, USA
I'm a preschool teacher, and before Save Million Trees, Inc. stepped in, we had no recycling programs in place. Now, after Save Million Trees made sure every classroom has recycling bins and got us all excited about recycling, you could not stop our four-year olds from recycling! Paper plates, plastic forks, leftover materials from arts and crafts....kids just cannot wait to get them in the bins! The bins are great - they are different colors for different items, but they also have pictures of items that go in them - making it extremely easy for children to choose. It's almost funny how, when one forgets to recycle and tries to place something in the trash, the other children step in and make sure every plastic for goes where it needs to. Many parents have told us that their children got the whole family recyling! Wonderful program! I signed up for their Stop Junk Mail as well, and my mailbox has 1/10 of the stuff that used to be there! I recommend warmly! This program works!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Oh, yes I have! I see every day how enthusiastic my kids are about recycling, and how they ponder if something can be recycled or not! Wonderful program!
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
We waited approximately 2 months for our bins and materials, I guess due to so many schools listing to get them. If I could make changes, I would make the process faster - but I guess they do their best with the funding they have. Great program, all in all!
How would you describe the help you got from this organization?
How likely are you to recommend this organization to a friend?
How do you feel you were treated by this organization?
Very Well
How did you find this group?
A parent of one of our students had heard of them and suggested we sign up and start recycling. She, like many parents, likes our preschool to be green
What, if any, change in your life has this group encouraged?
Seeing the effect in our school has really made me pay attention to recycling at home as well. I have to admit that I did not recycle much, but after reading materials and talking with the people with Save Million Trees I now realize that it matters what one individual does.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

PRO-GIRLS Pt 3: Marvel Editor JEANINE SCHAEFER Weighs In
Girl Comics #1Even before all the recent fervor about women in comics hit the internet, a group of female editors at Marvel spearheaded an effort toward recognizing female creators with a project called Girl Comics.
The person behind the comic's origin was Marvel editor Jeanine Schafer, and because of her efforts with other female editors, Girl Comics was published by Marvel as a three-issue anthology with work by female creators like Kathryn Immonen, Marjorie Liu, Louise Simonson, Amanda Conner, Ann Nocenti, Devin Grayson, G. Willow Wilson, Valerie D'Orazio, Ming Doyle and more.Womanthology The Girl Comics series, which began in March 2010, got enough support from the publisher that Marvel ended up declaring a "Year of Marvel Women" in 2010-2011. Other comics have followed suit, including the Kickstarter-funded Womanthology comic that starts later this year.
It's not the first time Schaefer's efforts toward making female-friendly comics have gotten attention. In 2007, when she was an editor at DC Comics, she helped with efforts to make a more female-friendly Supergirl title.
As we continue our Progirl series about women in comics, we talked to Schaefer about all the current discussion about female creators, as well as the efforts she's made to showcase the talented women already in the industry.
Newsarama: Jeanine, let's start by talking about how Girl Comics came about. What was the purpose of the three issues, and do you think it made a difference in the marketplace for female creators?
Jeanine Schaefer: She-Hulk's 30th Anniversary and National Women's History month coincided and I thought it would be the perfect time to try something I'd been thinking about for a long time, which was a big jam book with women working on all aspects.
And we specifically wanted to spotlight women who are currently making comics as their living, and get out there that there are women in all facets of the industry (from writing and drawing to lettering, production, proof-reading, editing, designing, etc.). It was also to give some history on the women who helped to pave the way for women working in comics now -- we did biographical write-ups on a number of women who have worked in comics (and specifically at Marvel) as early as the 40s, and how their contributions have shaped the company we are, and the books you read now.
Also, it was just fun to work with all women, in an industry that is mostly known for "boy stuff".
These creators would have been working with or without Girl Comics, and that was sort of the point. But the goal was to create awareness, and keep the conversation going and it definitely did that -- I've talked with women and girls at conventions who say seeing all those women working together reinforced their want to break in and make comics, so as far as I'm concerned that's a big win! As for the women who worked on Girl Comics, they're all currently still working, whether it's at Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, or self-publishing, doing webcomics, or, in a few cases, running their own design companies.Girl Comics #2 As this debate rages on, I keep hearing the question, "well, where are these women who want to do super hero comics?" Girl Comics is only a fraction of that answer.
Side note: It was the women in editorial that came up with the fully-realized concept for Girl Comics, as well as the name itself. The fact that the name was such a point of contention just proves once again that no one woman can make decisions that all women in comics (or people who care about women in comics) will be happy with. It would be a very boring industry if that were the case.
Nrama: Let's talk about how someone like you would be attracted to comic books as a career. What got you interested in working in comics? Were you aware that it was a male-dominated industry, and did that play any role in your career decision?
Schaefer: The short answer is that I love comics, nothing more complicated than that. I knew comics were considered a thing "for boys" when I was a kid, but seeing women's names in the comics I read definitely made it less of an odd thing for me to want to pursue a career in the industry. And when I was in college the internet helped a lot in terms of connecting with other women who read, created and in general thought critically about comics.
Nrama: Why do you think there are fewer women than men working in the creative side of the comic book industry?
Schaefer: I assume by "industry" you mean mainstream comics, so that's what I'm going to talk about. It's a self-perpetuating cycle, isn't it – in terms of who works on comics, there are fewer women than men in credited roles, so fewer women realize there are opportunities for them and strive to break in, so there are fewer credited women, etc.
That doesn't mean, of course, that there aren't women working in prominent, credited roles in comics – in fact, we have more female artists and writers in regular rotation than ever. Marvel's biggest news story in recent months was the new Ultimate Spider-Man being revealed as Miles Morales; the artist on that book is Sara Pichelli, who also designed Miles, his supporting cast and the new costume. And the associate editor on that book is also a woman, Sana Amanat.
Nrama: What are the challenges of working in a male-dominated industry?
Schaefer: Here's what I wish someone had told me when I started: one of the biggest challenges is not letting the chatter in, not psyching yourself out.
Especially when you start out, there are going to be people telling you what to do and how to think, but for women there's an added layer of people telling you what kind of feminism is acceptable, and you spend your time wondering should I say more, should I say less, how does it affect Women in Comics every time I open my mouth, am I alienating the men around me by talking about women in comics or even just by having opinions. In the end, though, you have to accept that it's going to be like that until you find your legs (and maybe even past that) and it's on you to figure out how you're going to let that impact you.
That's not to say no one else is responsible; Some guys going to treat you like an alien, some guys are going to treat you like a secretary, some women are going to see you as the enemy. The internet is going to tell you women just don't like comics, that there's no such thing as sexism, that feminism is hurting women, implying that even when you have opinions, they don't count because you're a woman and "the powers that be" are men and so you're powerless (this is getting super specific, I know, don't get me started).Girl Comics #3 There's no easy answer, but it feels better to know you're not the only one with these tiny doubts burrowing in the back of your brain. You try to let it roll off your back. You find like-minded people, both men and women, and colleagues that support you (as I have been fortunate enough to do). You make the best comics you know how.
Nrama: Do you think the industry could do anything to welcome or encourage more women into the creative side of comics?
Schaefer: Industry aside, it would be great if we, the comics community at large, could at the same time acknowledge that there are already women working in comics (both the mainstream and in general), but also that we need to keep the discussion going. Because, honestly, picking and choosing amongst who "counts" when talking about women in comics and who doesn't makes me want to set the internet on fire.
Nrama: What would be the benefit of having more women working in the comic book industry?
Schaefer: Varied points of view can only help a storytelling industry. Obviously, there is no one background that is common to all women, but any woman will bring with her a different baseline life-experience that will inform a completely different point of view – and that is invaluable to a creative industry, in the doors onto new stories it can open and the connection it can have with a more varied audience.
Nrama: The larger publishers of comic books have usually (with some notable exceptions) targeted comics toward male readers, which is currently the core audience. Would you like to see that change? How? And would it affect the number of women working in comics?
Schaefer: I've always said it's not about changing what comics are, it's about taking down the No Girls Allowed sign that sometimes gets hung on the clubhouse door. That sign is mostly made up of totally unconscious choices on the parts of people who have been making comics in a male-dominated industry, so continuing this discussion, accepting that there's another way we can tap into the women who want to and already are reading and making is the only thing that will affect the number of women working in mainstream comics.
Nrama: Anything else you want to add about the subject?
Schaefer: I don't want it to get lost while we're talking about the challenges and what could be better that I have met amazing women through comics, some of which I'm honored to get to work with and also call my close friends.
Women are here, have always been here, and are making every genre of comic you can think of, at every publisher putting out comics right now.

Remploy's assets may have been given away with little benefit to the taxpayer – or the workforce axed from Leven and Cowdenbeath.
Local MPs Lindsay Roy and Gordon Brown believe this could be the case, after a letter to Mr Roy from the National Audit Office (NAO).
He intends to meet with the head of the National Audit Office (NAO), Sir Amyas Morse, over what happened to the assets of Remploy in Leven and Cowdenbeath, after the factories were closed last year with around 65 combined job losses.
The largely disabled workforce had manufactured high-quality lifejackets and other marine safety aids.
Mr Roy had asked for a "robust investigation" – however, while Sir Amyas admitted there was a lack of documentation on intellectual property rights, he did not think this was the result of impropriety.
While Remploy did negotiate over ownership of these rights, the buyer did agree to take on accompanying liabilities, he added.
Sir Amyas did not feel there was sufficient evidence of wrongdoing to merit a more extensive investigation at this time.
Mr Brown and Mr Roy said the response was unsatisfactory and the investigation had to go deeper.
Mr Roy added: "We need answers to some very simple and straightforward questions.
"What happened to the 'agreement' on shared intellectual property rights between Remploy and its biggest customer?
"How much money did Remploy receive for the purchase of these rights and what happened to its other assets?
"Who from Remploy negotiated the 'preferential deal' with the customer?"

The default Aurora initialization state machine (LANE_INIT_SM) contains an asynchronous input that can cause the state machine to go into an unknown state. This Answer Record describes the fix for this issue.
In addition to this Answer Record, Virtex-4 Aurora users should also refer to (Xilinx Answer 25469).
The LANE_INIT_SM module is a one-hot state machine that controls lane initialization. This state machine is clocked by the Aurora Core's system clock called "USER_CLK". The state machine is initialized by two signals called "TXPMA_READY" and "RXPMA_READY". TXPMA_READY and RXPMA_READY are generated by the GT11_INIT module which is synchronous to a different clock called "DCLK".
This setup results in a race condition where the LANE_INIT_SM can go into a state where all one-hot state registers are '0'. The State Machine code does not check for this illegal condition and can lock up such that the core will not self-recover. To fix the issue, the asynchronous inputs (TXPMA_READY and RXPMA_READY) must be registered by USER_CLK before entering the State Machine.
A quick VHDL example:
process (USER_CLK)
if (USER_CLK 'event and USER_CLK = '1') then
txpma_ready_r <= TXPMA_READY;
rxpma_ready_r <= RXPMA_READY;
end if;
end process;
if ((RESET or HARD_ERROR_RESET or not txpma_ready_r or not txpma_ready_r) = '1') then
Virtex-II Pro and Virtex-5 GTP Aurora cores are not affected by this issue.
Similar cross clock domain issues might exist in the GT11_init_rx and _tx state machines generated by Aurora. These state machines are nearly identical to those generated by the RocketIO Wizard, and the same fixes will apply. There is also the potential for the state machine to be improperly optimized, thereby causing errors. Please refer to the following Answer Records for additional information:
(Xilinx Answer 25469) - Virtex-4 RocketIO Wizard v 1.4 - GT11_INIT State Machine startup failure
(Xilinx Answer 29208) - Virtex-4 Aurora Special reset consideration for Virtex-4 Aurora designs
A patched version of Aurora v2.7 can be downloaded below. This patch is called Aurora v2.7.1 and contains the fix mentioned in this Answer Record as well as the fix mentioned in (Xilinx Answer 25469).

The California crop of running backs in the class of 2008 looks very strong. One player who has been putting up numbers since his freshman season is Corona (Calif.) Centennial's Ryan Bass and we had a chance to see the athlete up close and personal last Friday.
In what was a very entertaining game, The Huskies knocked off area rival Santiago 27-20 to improve to 8-0 on the season. Bass had an amazing 52 carries for 277 yards and four touchdowns and the Huskies goal line stand in the last minute of the game secured the win.
Bass is a well built 5-10, 190 pounds who reminded us a little of UCLA running back Chris Markey. Bass is more quick than fast but is a physical runner and is not afraid to run between the tackles. He has excellent balance and vision, hits the hole quickly and doesn't spend a lot of time trying to juke and jive a defender but rather gets the ball and is up the field.
Article Continues Below
Bass is a one cut type runner and does an excellent job of feeling where the hole is going to be and then explodes through it while finishing his runs well and is always falling forward at the end of each carry. Bass may not be the biggest back we've seen but is the type that seems to get stronger as the game goes along and was punishing defenders in the fourth quarter.
On the season, Bass has rushed for 1,790 yards and 29 touchdowns and will likely go over the 2,000 yard barrier in the Huskies next game. On the recruiting front, Bass is still waiting for his first scholarship offer but said if one particular school offered him, he would give serious thought about making an early commitment.
"Right now, I'm hearing from all of the Pac 10 plus schools like Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Nebraska and several others. It's still really early in the process but if I had to name a top five right now, it would be UCLA, Cal, Arizona, Arizona State and Nebraska.
"I really like UCLA a lot and if they offered me, I would think seriously about jumping on it. My family wants me to stay local since I've had a couple of brothers that left the state to play in college. I like their program and the coaches and I think it would be fun to get the decision out of the way early as well to focus on our season next year with no distractions."

2nd steeping of these leaves. The white tea is more pronounced, vegetale and nutty-tasting in turns. The candied cherry flavour has morphed into a sort of sugary, syrupy taste with no real flavour apart from 'sweet'.
Not a tea I'm going to rave about, I think, but still very nice all the same. I need to try more of this to be sure what my opinion on it is.

Mercedes announces first-ever SLK diesel
Apocalypse. You might believe it translates as hellfire and damnation bubbling up from the earth's core, a simultaneous explosion of volcanoes, earthquakes, disease and intense war; a world where Peter Andre has a number one hit record.
You'd be wrong. It is actually the end of the world as we know it; a disclosure of something previously hidden from mankind. And this SLK could be that apocalypse. It is the first ever diesel SLK, and it has some pretty big numbers to shout about.
See pics of the Mercedes SLK 250 CDI
First up, it gets Mercedes' 2.1-litre confusingly-titled '250 CDI' four-pot diesel engine, producing a healthy 204bhp. That's on par with BMW's confusingly-titled Z4 sDrive23i 2.5-litre petrol sixer. But where the BMW can only manage 184lb ft of torque, the mighty-Merc churns out a frankly incredible 368lb ft. Fans of mathematics will recognise that's twice as many torques as the Z4.
It sprints from 0-62mph in 6.7 seconds with a standard 7G-TRONIC auto 'box, covers 50mph to 75mph (80 to 120 km/h) in 4.3 seconds and tops out at 151mph. To give perspective, the 23i Z4 with an automatic gearbox does the 0-62mph sprint in 7.3 seconds, and while that drops to 6.6s with a manual shift, the Merc will get a six-speed manual in the second quarter of 2012.
You might be frothing into your keyboard shouting 'what about the Audi TT TDI?'. Well, friends, in coupe form that car produces 170bhp, 258lb ft and hits 62mph in 7.5 seconds (7.7 for the roadster). In the game of Internet Top Trumps, that loses to the Mercedes.
Top Gear drives the new Mercedes SLK
Mercedes claims 57mpg for the diesel SLK and 128g/km of CO2, along with the possibility "to drive from the North Sea to a beach on the Mediterranean non-stop", which is some distance indeed. Everything else - chassis, options, colours etc - are as before, and German prices start at £36,500, with UK prices to be confirmed shortly.
Would you buy a diesel SLK or could no amount of superior stats tempt you into the black stuff?
What do you think?

U.S. Track Star Returns Olympic Medal After Drug Test
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Sprinter Tyson Gay accepted a one-year suspension after testing positive for a banned substance nearly a year ago and returned the silver medal he won in the men's 400-meter relay at the 2012 London Olympics.
The US Anti-Doping Agency announced that Gay's one-year ban began June 23, the day his sample was collected at the U.S. championships. His sanction is subject to appeal by International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF) and by the World Anti-Doping Agency, USADA said.
As part of the penalty, Gay, the American record-holder in the 100, also accepted loss of results dating to July 15, 2012, the date of when he first used a product that contained a banned substance. He was a member of the relay team at the London Games that finished second to a Jamaican team anchored by Usain Bolt. The Americans set a national record with a time of 37.04 seconds. Gay has given his medal back to the United States Olympic Committee.
USADA said in a statement that upon receiving notification of his positive tests, Gay voluntarily withdrew from all competition prior to the 2013 world championships in Moscow and has not competed since.
The 31-year-old Gay could've been given a penalty twice as long, but received consideration after assisting USADA in the investigation into his positive test. USADA said he tested positive for the presence of an exogenous androgenic anabolic steroid.
"We appreciate Tyson doing the right thing by immediately withdrawing from competition once he was notified, accepting responsibility for his decisions, and fully and truthfully cooperating with us in our ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding his case," USADA CEO Travis Tygart said in a statement.
Gay has until June 16 to enter a petition in order to gain entry into the meet.

One of the passengers aboard a boat that caught fire Thursday says that during the 10 minutes he was floating in the water waiting for rescue, a first boat passed by without even stopping to help.
"I mean that's boat etiquette. You are supposed to help boaters in distress. But obviously we had some people that felt the need to go by, even though they saw flames," said Kerensky Rhoden Sr.
He and two other passengers were on the boat about a half-mile out from Rainbow Beach, on the city's Southeast Side, when it caught fire. All three jumped into Lake Michigan while flames completely destroyed the craft.
One boat passed the trio, Rhoden said, but a second -- named Pac-Man -- finally came to their aid near the city water filtration plant off 79th Street.
Rhoden added that the people aboard the rescue boat "very nice and gracious" and took them ashore where an ambulance was waiting.
One of the other passengers, a 42-year-old off duty sheriff's official, was taken to the University of Chicago, while the other two were treated and released, said Chicago Fire Battalion Chief Edward Cerdan.
Cerdan pointed to a malfunctioning radio on the boat as a possible cause of the fire.

Picture: Toby Keith performs on CBS ' The Early Show ' Summer Concert series New York City, USA - 18.06.07
Most critics seem to agree that Broken Bridges is indeed broken. The film, which features country-music star Toby Keith, Kelly Preston, Burt Reynolds, Willie Nelson (in a cameo as himself), and Tess Harper, is described as a "weepy country ballad of a movie" by David Hiltbrand in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Eleanor Ringel Gillespie gives the film this "verdict" in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "Keith has down-home charm and a lovely voice, but his movie's barely there."

Many experts assumed in the weeks leading up to the draft that the Dallas Cowboys would attempt to address their aging defensive line early on--if not in the first round, then certainly the second or the third.
Instead, Dallas didn't draft a single defensive lineman. Apparently the Cowboys weren't just posturing when, before the draft, they repeatedly said that they were happy with the group in place.
"The way I look at this, you look at where our resources are," executive vice president Stephen Jones said, per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "We've got two very high-paid pass rushers, we've got one great defensive tackle in Ratliff that's been to the Pro Bowl that obviously is in his second contract. So you've got three guys like that in your defensive line."
Of the Cowboys' seven picks, four of them were spent on offensive players, including their top three selections. Jones says the team's makeup led to the offense-heavy draft and offseason in general.
"We haven't put those kinds of resources over there," he said. "We got one tackle. Obviously, we've got a quarterback. And we've got Dez. We've got Miles in the back end of a contract. It starts to get into a little question mark or two from there.
"So if you really look at the balance of our team, I don't think it was really unwarranted that we look at the offensive side of the ball."

South America has been experiencing significant changes in migration flows within the last decade, with more movement within the region, chiefly for labor reasons, and a decline in emigration beyond the region as a result of improving South American economies and reduced prospects elsewhere. Argentina, Brazil, and Chile have attracted the most significant regional migration, with Brazil the preferred destination for migration from outside the continent. Migration beyond South America is chiefly to the United States and Europe. The articles offered here sketch the dynamism of South America's migration trends and policies.
Amid political and economic instability, a record number of Venezuelans are emigrating to escape economic mismanagement, insecurity, and shortages of basic goods. With the country's democracy under threat, get caught up on the crisis in Venezuela and learn who is leaving, where they are heading, and what their hopes are for their country with this article from MPI's online journal.
Colombia has more internally displaced persons (IDPs) than any other country in the world, the result of a 52-year civil war. Beyond improving the lives of its 7.3 million IDPs, the country faces a number of crucial migration issues as it works to achieve stability in the wake of an historic peace accord signed in late 2016. This country profile examines historical trends and current and future migration challenges in Colombia.
Record number of Venezuelans are emigrating to escape the country's economic mismanagement, insecurity, and shortages. This article examines the causes of the current crisis and draws from a study of thousands of Venezuelans abroad to examine who is leaving, where they have headed, and what their hopes are for the future of Venezuela. It also scopes future opportunities for diaspora engagement.
Two significant migration shifts at the U.S.-Mexico border have been obscured by talk of walls and further border security: Mexicans no longer represent the top unauthorized crossers, replaced by Central Americans seeking protection, and flows are diversifying with increased arrivals of Cubans, Haitians, Asians, and Africans. This article sketches the evolving trends, which have key implications for U.S. and regional migration policy.
With global displacement at a post-World War II high, the international community made some advances on refugee protection in 2016, but there were also steps backward. The United Nations held the first-ever refugee summit and some countries, including the United States and Canada, increased their resettlement commitments. Meanwhile, conflict intensified in some hotspots and publics turned against refugees, as this Top 10 article explores.
Smugglers and migrants adapted their paths in light of changing conditions in 2016, including the construction of walls and closure of borders. Cuban and Haitian migrants increasingly chose to make their way to the United States through South and Central America rather than by sea. Meanwhile, migrant flows to Europe have splintered into a wider range of routes, seeking new openings through the Western Balkans.

Bardedjilidji Walk
Bardedjilidji is the local Aboriginal word for walking track or pathway, and also refers to the roots of waterlilies growing in freshwater swamps and billabongs. Experience a number of different habitats on the trail, from sandstone formations that were islands in the sea in at the time of the dinosaurs, to monsoon vine forest and wetland areas. Look for the black wallaroo in the early morning among the shaded sandstone outcrops. Stop at the cave that provides daytime shelter for insects, geckos and bats, and which once would have been a cool shelter for Aboriginal people. Look carefully to see some rock art here, but please do not touch/rub the paintings.
Enquire with the Bowali Visitor Centre about accessibility - the track is subject to weather conditions and guides' availability. Allow two hours for this easy to moderate walk, which starts at a small car park 500 metres from the upstream boat ramp on the East Alligator River.

There are three main sites of rock art to experience at Ubirr. At the Main Gallery you will see representations of the many animals the Aboriginal people hunted. Animals were painted to pay respect to them for giving their lives, to ensure future hunting success, or to illustrate a noteworthy catch. Important Dreamtime ancestors such as the Namarrgarn Sisters and a magnificent Rainbow Serpent are also represented in their respective galleries.
The walk to Ubirr takes about an hour and is 1 kilometre via a circular walking track from the car park. The climb to the lookout takes a further 30 minutes. During the tropical summer months access is restricted - check with the Bowali Visitor Centre for the latest information.

Alchemist Club to hold tours and demonstrations during Family Weekend
PLATTEVILLE, Wis. — The University of Wisconsin-Platteville's Alchemist Club will be holding tours and demonstrations during Family Weekend on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 26-27.
The Alchemist Club is the campus chemistry club and local chapter of the American Chemistry Society. There has been a chemistry club at UW-Platteville since the 1970s. The club's focus is on career development, social activities, community service, internships and job training. They have worked with the boy scouts and girl scouts as well as other community service activities.
The Alchemist Club participates in many activities on campus. During Halloween they host a pumpkin-decorating contest and, after judging, the pumpkins are blown up. The club also participates in Relay for Life, movie nights and chemistry seminars. During seminars, alumni and professionals are brought in to talk to chemistry students about their experiences.
During Family Weekend the Alchemist Club will be hosting educational demonstrations for students and their families. One of the experiments they will demonstrate is the use of methane bubbles that they light on fire. They also have another experiment, where they drop gummy bears into potassium poliatrite and, as a result, the gummy bear explodes and lights on fire. Another uses different chemical sprays to change the color of an open flame.
"We are excited to show families around on Family Weekend," said Robinson Flaig, president of the Alchemist Club. Flaig is a senior chemistry major with a minor in micro-nano technology from Platteville.
The Alchemist Club will also be giving tours of the chemistry department and the research labs. They will also be able to show students and parents the unique instruments UW-Platteville has at students' disposal.
Members of the Alchemist Club do not have to be chemistry majors to join. The membership dues are $3 a semester or $5 a year. There is no fee for ACS members. This encourages members to be a part of the ACS organization. Currently, the Alchemist Club has 40 members. The club meets every Tuesday at 6 p.m. in 204B, Ottensman Hall. This room is located across from the alchemist lounge.
Oct. 20-26 is National Chemistry Week and on Oct. 23, the Alchemist Club will be hosting Mole Day. There will be a brat sale outside Ottensman Hall as well as demonstrations and activities. Many of the demonstrations will be previews of what families will see during Family Weekend.

Bonnie Raitt
Biorhythm Chart for Monday November 20th 2017
How to Publish Bonnie Raitt's Daily Biorhythm
To publish Bonnie's biorhythm chart on your own blog or web page, just copy and paste the HTML code below.
You can also create your own chart very easily.
You and Bonnie
Understanding Bonnie's Daily Biorhythm Chart
Bonnie Raitt is an American blues singer-songwriter and slide guitar player.
She was born on Tuesday November 8th 1949, in Burbank, California, United States.
The blue line displays Raitt's physical self during a 23-day cycle, starting at her date of birth. The physical self measurement is an indicator of her energy levels in terms of coordination, strength, and general well-being. If the blue line is at the top of the chart she is in a physically energized portion of her cycle. If the blue line is at or near the bottom of the chart Bonnie is in a low point in her physical cycle. High points are an excellent time to take on physically challenging ventures. Low points indicate she may be physically spent and may need to take it easy for a while.
The red line represents Bonnie Raitt's emotional self during a 28-day cycle, in terms of creativity, sensitivity, mood, perception, and awareness. When the red line is near the top of the chart Bonnie is feeling emotionally strong. Her outlook on life tends to be at its best and her interactions with others are most successful. Low points on Raitt's emotional line indicate times when she may need to retreat somewhat. Bonnie Raitt is more likely to be depressed during these times. High points indicate times when she will enjoy the company of others and find expressing her feelings the easiest.
The green line tracks Bonnie's intellectual self over a 33-day cycle, in terms of alertness, analytical functioning, logical analysis skills, memory or recall abilities, and communication. When the green line is near the top of the chart Raitt's mental faculties are at their sharpest. This is the time for her to seek solutions requiring logic and analysis. Conversely, at those times when the green line is near the bottom of the chart Bonnie Raitt's intellectual capabilities are at their lowest. Bonnie might find it prudent to delay work requiring serious thought until she reaches a higher position in her cycle.
The purple line charts Bonnie Raitt's varying intuitive (or compassion) strength at different points during a 38-day cycle. When the purple line is near the top, her powers of intuition are at their strongest. During these times Bonnie Raitt might even experience moments of serendipity. These high points are times when she should be more willing to trust her hunches. When the purple line is near the bottom of the chart, her intuitive powers are at their lowest. At these times Bonnie Raitt might want to shy away from making decisions because "she just knows" and rely on a more analytical approach to decision making.
The aqua line travels the ebb and flow of her 53-day spiritual sensitivity cycle. When the aqua line is at the top of the chart Bonnie Raitt is very in tune with her spiritual self. At these times Bonnie may reach new heights religiously or experience intense mystical experiences. During periods when the aqua line is near the bottom of the chart Raitt is not particularly in sync with the spiritual side of life.
The yellow line traces Bonnie's aesthetic powers through a 43-day cycle. During periods when the yellow line is at the top of the chart Bonnie Raitt is most open to the arts as well as being at the pinnacle of her own creative powers. The high points are perfect times for Raitt to express her creative self. During periods when the yellow line is at the bottom of the chart she is not nearly as in touch with her creative self. During these times Bonnie Raitt might do well to put her energies into things that do not require large amounts of creativity.
The orange line follows the flux in Raitt's level of self-awareness in cycle of 48 days each. At times the orange line is near the top of the chart she is most in tune with herself. During these periods Bonnie Raitt can experience profound moments of self-discovery. During periods in her cycle when the orange line is near the bottom of the chart Raitt is not nearly as connected to her inner-self.

St. Johns County
Couple accused in Texas murder likely to remain here 90 days: Investigators with the Rusk County Sheriff's Office in Texas are working to get Texas Gov. Rick Perry to sign extradition papers to return a man and woman law officers believe were involved in the killing of a man in Henderson, Texas, according to Lt. Ricky Alexander, lead detective at the Rusk County Sheriff's Office.
Daniel Latham, 21, has a warrant against him for capital murder. His girlfriend, Christina Rogers, 20, will be charged with accessory to capital murder, since investigators said she had knowledge of the killing. Both have refused extradition back to Texas.
Alexander said the extradition process takes about 90 days and that St. Johns County Detention Center will house the couple until the papers are signed.
Latham is accused of killing 62-year-old Dean Suggs with a household hammer at Suggs' home Saturday. Investigators said Latham then stole Suggs' car and fled to Florida.
St. Augustine Police spotted the car parked in front of St. Francis House and made the arrest. Also in the car were a mother and son who were transients from Texas. They were not involved in the homicide in any way and were released, St. Augustine police said.
Putnam County
Student shocked by a Taser multiple times during arrest: A 14-year-old student at E.H. Miller Middle School in Palatka became violent and was shocked by a Taser multiple times by a school resource officer, according to a report from the Putnam County Sheriff's Office.
"This girl has got a previous history of violence toward school teachers, school staff and school resource deputies at E.H. Miller Middle School," said Putnam County Sheriff's Office Capt. Rick Ryan.
The 275-pound girl was causing a disturbance in a classroom when the deputy was called, according to the report. The deputy ordered the girl to get out of the classroom, but she refused and instead turned with her fists raised, trying to hit the deputy, the report said. Due to the confined space, the deputy deployed his Taser on the girl, but she continued to struggle and was shocked again, the report said.
After the second shock, the girl got to her feet, pushed her teacher to the ground, and then began to run out of the room, the report said. The deputy deployed his Taser, shooting the probes into the girl's back and leg. She continued to struggle and was shocked again before she allowed handcuffs to be put on, the report said.

Program lends a hand to vets, seniors
WHITEWATER — Life sometimes gets in the way for busy people. But then again, it often creates nearly perfect circumstances when least expected.
Patti O'Brien got to know Rob Gosh about 15 years ago during a fundraiser that the latter was participating in with his wife, Kim.
(Read more stories in Walworth County Sunday HERE.)
That was back when Volunteer Connection, of which O'Brien is executive director, was known as RSVP. They have remained friends, but it was another chance situation that prompted them to get together and decide that something had to be done to help more of Walworth County's less fortunate.
"He is an old friend whose office actually was next to mine when we were in Whitewater," O'Brien said. "He contacted me about six to eight months ago and said he wanted to do something to help some folks and didn't really know how to go about it.
"He does a lot of high-end contract work in his construction business, but as a favor, somebody asked him to put in a ramp for an elderly couple," she added. "It turns out the husband had broken his spine and was paralyzed and relegated to a wheelchair, and they could barely get in and out of the house. They basically didn't have plumbing. Rob said, 'We gotta do something.'"
That something has become Volunteer Connection's Quality of Life project.
The goal is to replace or fix toilets, faucets, bathroom grab bars, smoke detectors, door locks or windows. They also may do painting, landscaping or light carpentry and electrical work.
Everything would be for a target audience of senior citizens and home-owning veterans who exist at or below the poverty line and need help.
It was a matter of getting someone to coordinate such efforts — Gosh, who operates Gosh Classic Renovations, became that someone.
"With that older couple ... it was a sad story," Gosh said. "It's not how I would want my parents to live, so it was simply a matter of somebody stepping up. And there are a lot of veterans who need help when they come back.
"I want to meet with everybody we help to see what the issues are," Gosh added. "We need to get people behind it. We want them to know that this isn't a handout; it's for people who really need the help. There are even people who can afford to pay but can't do the work. I want to keep an open mind, and I told Patti that I don't want to say no to anybody."
Reaching that goal started recently as the organization found out it will receive $5,000 in United Way of Walworth County funding for 2013 and again in 2014.
Volunteer Connection, located in Elkhorn, has dozens of qualified people to do the jobs and many businesses who are willing to donate materials, although more supplies and much more funding are being sought.
"We have a lot of qualified volunteers who know their craft," O'Brien said. "Rob and I talked and then we went to see Joe Peyer at United Way. So, we thought if we joined forces we would carry more power, and it was a natural to put Rob in charge of the project."
Peyer has been executive director of the United Way for about a year but has been involved in other chapters in Lake Geneva and Delavan over the years.
"We thought this project was worthwhile, so we made an exception so that the grant would start right away this year," Peyer said. "We thought it would be a good start for them. It's geared to senior citizens, shut-ins, disabled, basically a need-based situation. And while it may be a simple thing for most people, even things such as fixing a toilet, putting in light bulbs or patching a screen door. I mean, if we can keep an 85-year-old from climbing up on a ladder, that's a good thing."
So, while they start working out the logistics, the juggling act between wanting to get started helping people and providing a strong foundation for the future creates the real challenge.
"The main task is finding the funding, so I've written for a bunch of grants," O'Brien said. "In a lot of cases we can do the labor if individuals or businesses can pay for the materials. Habitat for Humanity has said they would help with labor if they're not working on houses. A lot of people want to help, and there are a lot of single moms and so many people who could use this help."
Gosh couldn't agree more.
"Patti has a lot of volunteers and I've got guys I can call to get the projects done, so funding is the biggest issue," Gosh said. "I've been researching all kinds of grants, and the money is available, but I'm not a grant writer.
"We're getting the United Way grants, but my goal is to get more substantial, more sustainable and stable funding because I don't want to get started and have this thing crumble.
"So my initial idea would be to start with some smaller projects, because funding and applying for grants takes time," Gosh added. "I would like to make it more company oriented, get somebody on board so this can be more long term. And I would like to expand it to include Jefferson and Rock counties because I see a big need."
Gosh said another reason he wants to see Quality of Life succeed is because of O'Brien's tireless dedication to Volunteer Connection.
"Everything that Patti and all of her volunteers do saves the county millions of dollars, and a lot of what she does is done for free," Gosh said. "Maybe this project will help get more funding for Volunteer Connection."

Sydney, Feb 5 (ANI): Actress Scarlett Johansson has admitted that she understands men, except for one aspect: "Why do they have nipples?"
During an interview in Los Angeles, the stunning beauty asked the question innocently.
She added: "That has always amazed me."
The babe, who turned 24 in November, has been linked romantically to a number of famous men, including actors Jared Leto and Josh Hartnett, New York Yankees baseball star Derek Jeter and Grammy Award-winning singer Justin Timberlake, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
However, it was in 2007 Johansson began dating heartthrob, Ryan Reynolds, and the relationship turned into a loving relationship.

Balanchine 's new ballet looks sadly on love
A lovely woman reaches out toward her partner and gently cradles his face in her hands. He enfolds her hands tenderly in his for a moment. Then he moves distractedly away. She is left holding the shape of her lover's face, and has only anguish to fill the hollow sculpture she has made.
The brief sequence is in Robert Schumann 's Davidsbündlertänze, a new ballet by George Balanchine that received its world premiere at the New York City Ballet last week. From this choreographer it is a radical work. Balanchine relies on music to give...

So that path doesn't sound exactly risk-free either. To my understanding DRBD provides this. I think a discussion about that with the DRBD developers would be very useful for many users searching for a solution to replicate PostgreSQL, so I'm cross posting this to DRBD list. Maybe you can make clear in detail what requirements PostgreSQL has. -- Regards, H.D.

A recent USA Today/Gallup poll reveals stark racial differences in perceptions of justice regarding the Trayvon Martin case. The poll results, which the paper details as the most polarized to date, show that 73 percent of blacks believe that George Zimmerman would have been arrested if Trayvon Martin had been white. By contrast, only 33 percent of whites believe this to be the case.
Similarly, 52 percent of whites believe that race is not a significant factor in how the shooting of the unarmed teen on Feb. 26 is being handled by authorities.
The Pew Research Center has also discovered a schism between how blacks and whites perceive media coverage of the Travyon Martin controversy. According to a study regarding news reports on the incident, 43 percent of whites versus 16 percent of blacks say the story has been covered "too much."
In addition, the relative perceptions of how much attention Martin's story has garnered splits across political lines. Republicans, at 56 percent, are much more likely to believe the press is overemphasizing the incident, compared to only 25 percent of Democrats.
Trayvon Martin, a black 17-year-old, was killed by George Zimmerman, 28, a biracial man of white and Latino ancestry in Sanford, Fla. Martin was visiting his family in a gated community where Zimmerman lived and volunteered for his unregistered neighborhood watch. Zimmerman killed the unarmed teen with a registered handgun and claimed it was self defense.
Sanford police released Zimmerman without charging him under Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" law, which authorizes the use of deadly force when one perceives a lethal threat. Trayvon was unarmed at the time of the shooting.
Lack of investigation into Zimmerman's claims, combined with what many perceived to be racially motivated bias in police conduct, have unleashed a firestorm of debate regarding the case. Related issues such as racial profiling, gun control and the implications of the Castle Doctrine have been hotly debated, leading to intense media coverage of the incident and its aftermath.

Premises liability lawyers in the Phoenix, Arizona area handle all types of cases involving property owners' negligence, which encompasses much more than slip and fall accidents. Any time an individual suffers injuries due to a property owner's negligence in maintaining a safe property, that individual may have a claim. Any areas where danger or risk exists that could put those on the property in jeopardy should be clearly marked. When this isn't the case and you sustain serious injuries, consult with a skilled Arizona premises liability attorney at once.
Without effective legal representation, you could be facing substantial costs because of your injuries. Medical expenses could be overwhelming, depending on the treatment you require, and whether it is long term. If you are not able to work because of your injuries, the financial situation becomes even worse. Never settle with the responsible party's insurance company before consulting with an Arizona premises liability lawyer, as insurance companies work to minimize the value of your claim as much as possible. Let your attorney handle the negotiations, then proceed to court if the outcome is not satisfactory.
Your child may have suffered injuries after falling into a swimming pool that was not secured. You may have slipped in a shopping mall because of a slippery floor. Security negligence is another area of premises liability that is extremely common today. If you are mugged, assaulted, molested or even worse on a property that lacked security, such as a parking structure or even a dark stairwell that was not sufficiently lit, the property owner may be responsible. Not only does an Arizona premises liability attorney represent your legal rights, he/she can also help determine if you do in fact have a legitimate claim, and how much your claim may be worth.
Your neighbor's dog may have attacked you while you were attending a neighborhood barbecue at their home. Could this be considered negligence? Absolutely. Every property owner is responsible for keeping those on their property safe, even from pets. As you can see, premises liability is far more reaching than slip and fall accidents.
If you or a family member have been injured in any way that involves negligence on behalf of a property owner/manager, speak with a capable premises liability attorney in Arizona right away. You deserve full compensation of costs related to your injuries, and those who are liable should be held fully accountable.
