INDIANAPOLIS - Michael Andretti was ready to step back into retirement.
The 44-year-old team owner gave the Indianapolis 500 one more try last year so he could be in son Marco's rookie race, just like his own father, Mario, had done with him 22 years earlier.
One more race, he thought, and he would head back to the garage for good. Didn't quite work out that way.
Despite a three-year layoff, Andretti was not only competitive, he darn near won.
With three laps to go, Andretti was leading the race that had provided so much bad luck and heartbreak to his family since Mario's victory in 1969. The next lap, Marco passed Michael for the lead and appeared headed for victory.
Then, in an incredible pass coming down the final straightaway on the final lap, Sam Hornish Jr. went around Marco and won by .0635 seconds, the second-closest finish in Indianapolis 500 history - and another Andretti disappointment.
"I still think about it. It still ticks me off," Michael Andretti said. "I know it does the same thing with Marco. ... As exciting and everything as it was, there's still that pit in your stomach when you think about it. I'm not sure that will ever go away unless one of us wins."
Michael Andretti, who wound up behind Hornish and Marco Andretti, said the close finish convinced him to come back this year as the fifth driver for Andretti Green, joining his son, Tony Kanaan, Danica Patrick and Dario Franchitti.
"I guess after coming so close and sitting back and thinking about it, and looking at things we're going to do with the team and hopefully get the cars more competitive than they were last year, I thought, 'You know, let's give it one more shot,"' Andretti said.
Because he hasn't driven in a race since last year's Indy 500, Michael completed a refresher test during the weekend's rookie program and was ready for the start of full practice.
"It was great to get back out there, get a few laps in and get all of the cobwebs out," he said.
"The initial feeling comes right back to you, because you know you can get up to speed. We know the car and the setup and everything, but getting the actual comfort to where you can just lay your head back and relax, it takes a few laps."
It didn't take many.
He drove only a dozen or so laps Sunday and had the fastest speed at 219.871 mph. He drove another 43 laps Monday and, with Marco watching from the pits, again had the quickest speed at 221.579. He was over 222 on Tuesday, but had plenty of company as the other top contenders got on the track for the first time.

Google (GOOG[1]) on Monday announced that its Chromebook laptop will soon be available at more than 6,600 stores worldwide.
The first new retailer[2] of the Chromebook is Walmart (WMT[3]), which beginning today offers an Acer Chromebook. The Acer model will be equipped with a 16GB solid-state drive, and is available at over 2,800 stores in the United States for $199. At the beginning of this weekend, Staples (SPLS[4]) also will begin carrying Google Chromebooks at more than 1,500 stores, with models coming from Acer, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ[5]) and Samsung (SSNLF[6]).
In coming months, Google plans to have even more retailers across the world carrying Chromebook.
This expansion to new retailers is likely an attempt by Google to bring cloud computing to more people[7]. While it hasn't caught on with customers yet, Google believes cloud computing is the future. The idea behind cloud computing is to dump the huge hard drives and instead store everything online (which explains why the Acer Chromebook only has a 16GB hard drive). This doesn't just include files and documents; applications are stored online as well.

MEXICO CITY – One goal conceded in three games against your archrivals. That's a statistic that Jurgen Klinsmann can be proud of as coach of the United States in games against Mexico.
And while his opposite number – El Tri coach José Manuel "Chepo" de la Torre (above) – may not take to the USMNT's defensive ways, he respects that they are a difficult team to break down.
"They didn't have a chance throughout the whole game, but they played very solidly defensively and complicated the game for us," de la Torre said in the postgame press conference. "It's not easy to make space with the physical presence [of the US side]. And they have good players."
Mexico 0, USA 0: World Cup qualifying match recap
Mexico had a total of 15 corners against the US and 19 attempts at goal, but stern resistance from the American defense left El Tri goalless for the second consecutive match against their northern rivals.
"We lacked the finishing touch," de la Torre said. "We had opportunities and lots of them. Finishing is the different between whether you defeat a rival or not."
READ: Has USMNT finally found a center back pairing it can settle on?
And while Klinsmann has been criticized over whether he and assistant Martin Vasquez have the tactical nous to succeed at international level, de la Torre was forced to admit that the plan to force Mexico into playing longer balls that center backs Omar Gonzalez and Matt Besler could lap up did complicate things for his team.
The last goal Mexico scored against the United States was back in Klinsmann's first match in charge during a friendly in August 2011. Tuesday's result leaves Mexico lagging in fifth place in the Hexagonal group, with the US one point ahead in third.

text: I own around 30 acres of land in Central TX with tons of mesquite and post oak on it and Ive got a lot of already cured wood just sitting there waiting to be used. It seems stupid to mail order pellets or sawdust when I have so much free wood just sitting there (plus I'm from central TX and we are particular about liking our smoked meats to taste like its been smoked with native post oak wood). Trouble is, I want to use my AMNPS for smoking cured sausage below 165 degrees, so I'm not in a position to make the wood I already have into chips or chunks. It has to be sawdust or pellets. I don't want to invest in a $5k+ commercial pelletizer, so its going to have to be sawdust. Whats the most efficient way to make sawdust out of split logs of cured mesquite or post oak? Just chop it up as close as you can with a miter saw that has a dust capture bag on it? Seems like it'd take a lot of time to make a bunch of it that way. Are there faster or more efficient methods that make it easy to capture the dust?

New 70 FPGA supercomputer is 900 times faster than opteron cluster it replaces. FPGAs are reconfigurable hardware. Hardware that customizes itself to run an application or algorithm can be hundreds of times faster than software running on general purpose hardware. FPGAs entering the mainstream will greatly accelerate the solution of scientific problems and some business problems.
SGI's reconfigurable supercomputer featured 70 FPGAs, more than any single system built to date. SGI's FPGA supercomputer accelerated the performance of a complex BLAST-n query by more than 900 times, completing in less than 33 minutes what took a 68-node Opteron-based cluster approximately three weeks to finish. The application matched 20 nucleotide base pairs against 600,000 queries.
SGI configured the system using only off-the-shelf components, including its SGI(R) RASC(TM) (Reconfigurable Application Specific Computing) appliance for bioinformatics — Featuring Mitrion(TM)-Accelerated BLAST-n. No hardware or software was modified for the test

The question
I'm a 24-year-old woman and I've been in a committed relationship with another woman for two years. We are truly in love. Lately, however, I've found myself somewhat attracted to men. I'm not sure if this is a case of the proverbial grass appearing greener on the other side, or if I'm bisexual, but either way I think these feelings may be strong enough to warrant further investigation (and there is a certain gentleman I am interested in).
While I don't want to break my beloved's heart over something that might not end up going anywhere (and there is a good chance that if I begin seeing this boy, once his penis enters into the equation I'll come running back to my side of the fence), I also don't want to spend the rest of my life feeling incomplete and unfulfilled, wondering if I am also attracted to men.
Would a low-key, likely short-lived fling on the side for the sake of my mental and sexual well-being be out of the question? P.S. My girlfriend pesters me on an almost daily basis to get married. I am against the idea. I do, however, harbour secret ambitions of getting married (to a dude) and having kids, all conventional-like.
The answer
Madam: The penis is a highly volatile, unstable variable. When it enters an equation, or anything else, for that matter it's hard to predict, mathematically, what the outcome will be.
It's not clear to me which came first, your bi-curiosity or your interest in one specific gentleman.
Of course, the equation could unfold as follows: Curiosity plus penis equals happiness, and you find yourself sipping chardonnay in the sunshine, a smile playing on your lips, as you inform your friends of your new-found deep fulfilment.
In your case, though, I worry that the equation would be more like: Lesbian relationship plus penis equals couple divided by anger, bitterness, and jealousy; and you minus girlfriend, angrily unpacking a tale of woe to your shrink, or doctor, or lawyer.
I'm not sure you've fully thought this through. It's not clear to me which came first, your bi-curiosity or your interest in one specific gentleman.
It seems to me the cart preceded the horse a bit - that you started wondering, first, if having a penis in your equation was something you might enjoy, then decided on a particular subject upon which to test this theory.
But have you considered that ultimately you will have to deal not only with the member that has excited your curiosity, but also the member of the human race that comes attached to it - complete, I guarantee you, with all his own issues, baggage, quirks, hang-ups, obnoxious habits and so forth?
Moreover: Say you assuage your curiosity with this fellow, and, having checked out the "proverbial" grass on the other side of the fence, you decide your girlfriend's lawn is indeed greener, and come back.
How do you think your girlfriend will feel when she finds out you let a penis "enter the equation" of your hitherto monogamous relationship - or do you plan on keeping your little heterosexual sidebar a secret from her for the rest of your life?
And how do you think your heterosexuality test subject will feel if he finds out that the whole time you were having your "low-key and likely short-lived fling" with him you were already engaged in a long-term, committed relationship with another person - man or woman doesn't matter - whom you conveniently forgot to mention?
I think we should call a spade a spade here, and say that what you are contemplating is as old as the hills: cheating, an affair, betrayal, infidelity. Pick whatever term suits you.
I learned at around age 28, after 10 years of missteps, overlaps, double-crossing schemes that invariably blew up in my face leading to tears, bitterness and recriminations for all concerned, that the only way to conduct one's romantic affairs is one at a time.
(I know all the polygamists and polyamorists out there will call me out, and say their way works really, really well; but this is different, partly because it involves deceit.)
If you want to be a mensch - and you do (menschiness is the goal, people; it's the grail) - then the time to inform the person you're engaged in a long-term relationship with that you're planning to sleep with someone else is before you do the deed.
In other words, if you plan on having an affair with someone, you should first break things off with the person with whom you are in love, and have, by your testimonial, a committed relationship.
You could do it nicely, of course. Tell her (a compassionate version of) the truth. Something like: "Listen, I have a little matter I need to get out of my system, this kooky kink called heterosexuality, and unless I do it I'm afraid I'll always be curious and could not in good faith go through with marrying you. Of course, I understand if you say no. But do you think you could see your way clear to waiting for me while I work this out?"
Who knows, she might. Personally, I do think you should make the jump. Hop the fence and see how you like the turf on the other side. With your fantasy of "getting married (to a dude) and having kids, all conventional-like," you sound a few degrees beyond merely "bi-curious."
If you don't check it out, it sounds to me like you will be eternally nagged by doubt and always wonder what might have been if the equation had been a little different.

Do you have any good file structure tutorials
I suck at organizing my files
Posted 24 August 2014 - 03:14 AM
Hi. Firstly I am a member of long standing so I am now at the opposite end of the age scale to most of you - I only started programming in my middle fifties! - so I may be way out on this suggestion.
I have been searching to find a good tutorial to change from MySql to MySqli.
Most of what I find on the net seems to focus on the actual connection.
Making the change to the connection is easy - but from there on everything seems to go haywire.
My site make use of the "get_include_contents(X)" style instead of require(X) that was covered in the php Manual.
Now this does not seem to work (for me anyway).
I favour the procedural style, mostly as I believe I can avoid learning the OOP method (too old to get my head around it now) and that may be the problem.
However, there may perhaps be many others who are starting to face the necessity of changing to MySqli fairly soon - and your expertise will be welcomed I'm sure.
I certainly have benefited from your collective input over the years - for which I give you all my heartfelt thanks.
Thank you for reading this suggestion.
Posted 24 August 2014 - 11:42 AM
I have been searching to find a good tutorial to change from MySql to MySqli.
The best place would be php.net/mysqli. That is the documentation for mysqli. Each function has an explanation of what arguments it requires, what it does, what it returns and a code example for how it is used. From there you should be able to convert your the mysql_* functions to the mysqli_* equivalent functions.
Alternatively you may find http://codular.com/php-mysqli helpful.

The Hartford Courant — Emily Sweeney, 20, of Suffield won the Junior Luge World Championship Tuesday in Park City, Utah. Sweeney had two runs down the 2002 Olympic track totaling 1 minute, 28.121 seconds.
"I had a pretty rough training week," Sweeney told USA Luge. "It was inconsistent. I'd thrown down some good runs but I had a lot of issues, too. I had that feeling I was going to pull it together for race day. I've never had that feeling before and it happened."

- Fighting for days, still rarely showing exhausted moments (only once, got healed by Sakura)
- Saved the entire Alliance literally already 2 times
- Defeated some strong opponents
- Kept Obito very busy so that the Alliance still has a chance
- Found out what Juubito's weakness is.
Seriously, what has he done so far? While Naruto is fighting like a beast for days, Sasuke is just standing there now. I bet he is, like a real coward, watching Naruto's techniques and is waiting for when Juubito is defeated to attack Naruto... Who is exhausted than. Typical Sasuke shit...
You would think "wow, Sasuke is now also here, Naruto can finally relax a little now", but no, still Naruto has to do the most! Dat Naruto! Naruto is even the smarter one at this moment!
It speaks for itself that now even SM Naruto > EMS Sasuke... Now Sasuke-fans are hoping for a SM for Sasuke or a Rinnegan, hahaha.

PT Beabeo, the Jakarta-based developer of the food discovery app, Tasterous, launched their Android version of the application on June 13.
The mobile food discovery app allows users to find out what restaurants are nearby, post up location-tagged photos of dishes, follow friends to see what they're eating , and it incorporates a social gaming element to encourage users to contribute. The app, which is available globally, uses the Foursquare API for users to check into an eatery, and every Foursquare location is available to Tasterous users.
Tasterous was first launched as a BlackBerry app on April 29, with Tasterous CEO Ronald Ishak promising that the app would be available for the BlackBerry PlayBook, Android OS, iOS and Windows Phone 7 by the end of the year.
The app, which is about 3MB in size, requires Android OS 2.1 and up to run.

I have a BFG 6600 GT Pci-e 128MB graphics card for sale. I installed an Arctic Cooling Silencer on it and it is, as the product name implies, totally silent. Note: It takes up the adjactent pci slot.
It comes with a new pci slot cover with perforations so the air can be pushed out of the adjacent slot. It also comes with 2 DVI - VGA adapters and a HDTV/Svideo dongle so you can use it with your tv.
I haven't had the time to test the new nvidia drivers, so I can't comment on how/if it works with osx86.
I'm looking for $175 shipped in canada, and am open to offers for various pc parts. In particular: a 2GB kit of ddr2-667 memory (straight up trade).

JERUSALEM, July 22 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday to help restore U.S. commercial flights to Israel that had been cancelled over the Gaza fighting, an Israeli official said.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration issued a 24-hour prohibition on flights by U.S. carriers to Israel earlier in the day after a Palestian rocket struck near Ben-Gurion International Airport outside Tel Aviv.

I know, I know, October isn't even over yet and already I'm reviewing another Christmas book. I was reluctant to jump right in to the holiday of holidays when the colors of fall are still showing, but as is the case with nearly every Liz Curtis Higgs book, I'm not sorry.
Her Victorian Christmas novella, A Wreath of Snow, set in Scotland in the late 19th Century is as comforting as a cup of cocoa (or tea or coffee) on a cold winter's night. In a couple hundred pages, Higgs spins a yarn of family tension, regret, guilt, forgiveness, and unexpected blessings knit together with the hope and joy of Christmas. I've not sought out Christmas stories or novellas in the past, but Higgs has made me a fan of both!
A Wreath of Snow is a quick read. Should you find yourself snowbound or with a free afternoon or evening in the coming months, I'd wholeheartedly recommend picking up this book, curling up in your favorite chair and sipping a hot drink. I'd read this one again and again.
Get a sneak peek here.
Or watch the trailer below.
In exchange for my review, I received a copy of the book free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group.

So according to the Free Press, Brad "Severus" Stuart may actually return to action as soon as Thursday as we face off against Stevie-Y's Lightning. Stuart was short with the comments (as usual) but added that Thursday's game is "kind of what I'm thinking".
Coach Mike Babcock said he is more than willing to throw Stuart back out there so long as the medical staff clears him. Stuart's return would be freakishly fast considering he's only missed five weeks with a broken jaw that required surgery…let's see Mike Milbury recover that fast from a busted jaw…seriously….please?
Also on the good news front, Chris Osgood skated for about 15 minutes today at practice. But that's going to be a slow process:
"I wasn't going to go up or down at all. I'll just keep going out on the ice like that, but do more. I'll know when it's time to go down, but right now, at this point, I can't do it yet." –-Chris Osgood
No word on Filppula yet, who was already supposed to be back. Time for these guys to get off the injury merry-go-round. In fact, it's time we dismantle that b*tch.

Forest Service slowly embraces Tester plan to log 10,000 acres a year for 10 years
One of the most contested parts of Sen. Jon Tester's Forest Jobs and Recreation Act is the plan to log 10,000 acres a year for 10 years. When he testified on Tester's bill on Dec. 17, Agriculture Undersecretary Harris Sherman told a congressional subcommittee "the bill would create unrealistic expectations on the part of communities and forest products stakeholders that the agency would accomplish the quantity of mechanical treatments required." He also said the bill "in particular includes levels of mechanical treatment that are likely unachievable and perhaps unsustainable. The levels of mechanical treatment called for in the bill far exceed historic treatment levels on these forests." In a visit to Missoula Feb. 5, Tester acknowledged that demand was causing some "heartburn" in the U.S. Forest Service. But he insisted the agency needs to change how it manages timber. Now, the agency appears to be listening. On Feb. 24, Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell told Congress he wanted "approximately 20 10-year stewardship contracts offered in targeted areas around the country that could provide a steady supply of forest products." He advocated "landscape-scale" projects developed "though multi-stakeholder collaborative planning" that sounded a lot like Tester's draft legislation. And on Saturday, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack endorsed Tester's approach as a "pilot project."...read more

Forcing Firms to Talk: Financial Disclosure Regulation and Externalities
We analyze a model of voluntary disclosure by firms and the desirability of disclosure regulation. In our model disclosure is costly, it has private and social value, and its precision is endogenous. We show that (i) a convexity in the value of disclosure can lead to a discontinuity in the disclosure policy; (ii) the Nash equilibrium of a voluntary disclosure game is often socially inefficient; (iii) regulation that requires a minimal precision level sometimes but not always improves welfare; (iii) the same is true for subsidies that change the perceived cost of disclosures; and (iv) neither regulation method dominates the other.

A 33-year-old man, Oluwatosin Otaiku, reportedly committed suicide on Saturday at Onikolobo area of Abeokuta, Ogun State, after his fiancee, Olaogun Oluwatoyin, broke up with him.
Punch reported that Otaiku stabbed himself to death in a shop at Safari junction in Onikolobo after a futile effort made by concerned neighbours who tried to reconcile the duo.
police officers
An eyewitness, who spoke on condition of anonymity explained that the neighbours intervened when they saw that the deceased was very worried following the breakup. He said they invited them to talk privately inside the shop, but unknowingly to them that the deceased had a knife hidden in his pocket with the intention of ending it all if his fiancee didn't return to him.

The witness said Oluwatoyin, however, insisted that she would not continue with the relationship, an answer that didn't go well with Otaiku, who in a reaction, brought out the knife in his pocket and repeated stabbed himself in the stomach. He said Oluwatoyin ran out of the shop thinking she was the target, but upon realising she wasn't, she quickly raised alarm and neighbours rushed in to find Otaiku stabbing himself.
The witness said Otaiku was quickly rushed to Mercy Hospital in the Panseke area of Abeokuta, but was referred to the Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta, but unfortunately died on his way.
It was further gathered that the tragedy was reported at the Adigbe Police Division, where policemen were dispatched to the scene for investigation. The policemen who conveyed the corpse to Ijaye General Hospital mortuary also took away three people.

The state police spokesperson, Deputy Superintendent Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the incident. He said the deceased remains is still with the command as they intend to carryout a postmortem examination on the deceased, adding that statements taken from eyewitnesses were also being examined by the command.
"The lady is still with us, she is still our suspect for now until we carry out a proper investigation on the corpse" Adejobi said. "We need some time to study the statements, but the expert's opinion is to carry out a postmortem on the body which we are going to do. I can assure you that the command will do the needful in order to get to the root of the incident".

The great German director Max Reinhardt may have been able to mount some 24 different versions of A Midsummer Night's Dream, including a 1935 film that starred James Cagney as Bottom and Mickey Rooney as Puck. Most mere mortals, however, learn that presenting even one fully staged production of Shakespeare's comedy is an ambitious undertaking. If the slapstick comes off as forced, there go the scenes with the rude mechanicals. Should the three pairs of lovers (make that four if the roles of Theseus/ Oberon and Hippolyta/Titania aren't double-cast) fail to convince, so much for the romance angle. And heaven help the director beset by technical woes or clumps of annoying fairies.
But if the Bug Theatre Company has demonstrated anything during its relatively short (since 1998) existence, it's that its members are up for a challenge. While director Steve Wilson's production of Dream, which played to a full house on opening night, proves more a collision of styles than a happy confluence, the Bug's appetite for experiment and strong production values bodes well for future classical forays.
The three-hour show is set in a netherworld of cascading flowers, with a crescent moon, a romantically lit backdrop and, located at an upstage corner, a blossom-covered rubber netting of the sort used by Marines scrambling down the side of a warship. Following a cacophonous induction scene in which the fairy population "blesses" the palace of Theseus, the Athenian duke and his Amazon queen, Hippolyta, enter along with a few of their subjects. And from the get-go, Wilson's premise seems off-kilter. As scripted, a supernatural presence is made manifest only after the mortal rulers have been introduced and their (misplaced) authority established; here the humans appear to be hapless visitors in a kingdom already subject to fairy rule. And while that might indeed be the case, it's infinitely more fun to watch that situation evolve as Shakespeare wrote it than to prematurely join the battle. The world's greatest comedian, after all, knew a thing or two about carefully setting up a fall and slowly ripening characters for comic harvest.
A Midsummer Nights Dream
Bug Performance and Media Art Center, 3654 Navajo Street
Through May 27
After that bumpy beginning, Wilson and company eventually manage to get on the laugh track, especially when the lovelorn Helena attaches herself with doglike devotion to the indifferent Demetrius. Though formerly betrothed to Helena, Demetrius now has eyes only for Hermia -- who, against her father's wishes, shares clover-rolling designs with Demetrius's rival, Lysander. Although the play indicates that Helena is the taller of the two (and is envious of Hermia's good looks), Amanda Kay Berg, who plays Helena, is an attractive ingenue-ish type, while Donna Morrison, who portrays Hermia, is a similarly built character actress. But even though Wilson's casting doesn't take full advantage of the girls' physical differences -- in one argument, Helena calls Hermia a puppet and the shorter lass labels her enemy a "painted maypole" -- it underscores one character's advice to love "not with the eye but with the mind." Overall, the affable quartet, rounded out by Darren Schroader and Brian Upton, comes off as properly earnest and youthfully obstinate.
Unfortunately, the early scenes with the rude mechanicals are so broadly played that their bumbling efforts seem all too real to be enjoyed as satire. Lines that should float with guileless pluck are blared or brayed, and most of the physical humor is lost amid a sea of gesticulating. In fact, Wilson has them all stand in a straight line at the outset -- a feat that belies the characters' modest performing abilities and, as happens elsewhere in the drama, makes this show look like stand-and-declaim Shakespeare. However, by the time the famous play-within-a-play scene rolls around, the actors have settled into their parts. In particular, Step Pearce's drag turn as Flute/Thisby is a hoot, and C.J. Hosier's futile efforts to gently discipline the ragtag company make the role of Quince seem even more of a comic gem. (The versatile actor also designed the company's colorful costumes.)

But the finest performances belong to Eric Lawrence and McPherson Horle, who, as warring fairy king and queen, lend both authority and passion to the roles of Oberon and Titania; one only wishes that they would have been given an even greater opportunity to flex their acting muscles by, as often occurs with productions of Dream, taking on the parts of Theseus and Hippolyta as well. And even though Gary Culig's rendering of Puck drifts uncomfortably into frenzied screeching, the talented actor makes the most of his character's episodes of poetic calm. Along with Alex Weimer's intriguing setting and Trey R. Barker's rich lighting design, the group's effort is a clear sign that the self-proclaimed "best little theater company in Denver" is determined, however vociferously, to achieve great things.

Passion, by definition, is a strong and barely controllable emotion. Passion is when you put more energy into something than is required. People often tell me that they are envious about how passionate I am, but when you really look at what passion is--everybody has it in them. Harriet Tubman said it best, "Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."
For those who have yet to read the book I Am That Girl written by Alexis Jones—do it, especially if you are struggling to find your passions in life. We all imagine having that dream job, doing the kind of hobbies that make us feel happy and fulfilled, and feeling comfortable in our own skin. These things come from a place inside of you where your passion lingers—find it.
My passion consumes me. Whenever I have a free minute I find myself writing, working on IATG things, reading, or business planning. These are the things that I care about, the things that give me energy, the things that I need to plan my life around. Often times I find myself thinking too deeply about how to make this happen. I always feel like I need to have the answers—need to know how to get from A to B in the most effective way. Life doesn't work that way though. Life is full of surprises and obstacles, and it is impossible to predict every little thing along the way. I have to push my perfectionist tendencies aside and put positive thoughts out there and trust that my hard work will get me where I need to be.
That is when I am truly consumed by my passions.
Let's Chat!
Passions come in all shapes and sizes. Plug into what makes YOU thrive--music, coding, cooking, swimming, gaming-- and share it with the world!

First we lost longtime ballet boss Ben Stevenson. Then Alley Theatre managing director Paul Tetreault -- the man who invented fiscal stability in the arts here -- announced his move to Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C.
And now David Gockley, Houston Grand Opera's general director, is being touted as a possible replacement for Joseph Volpe, the retiring general manager of the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
The New York Times reported that several "classical music professionals" have mentioned Gockley, along with William Mason of Chicago's Lyric Opera, as a "leading contender" for Volpe's job. The paper also mentioned that, at 60, Gockley may be too old for the Met post.
"I don't think so," says Marc Scorca, president and CEO of the Opera America organization, which includes HGO in its membership. "I think the most important criterion is skill." And Gockley does have the chops for the task. At 27, he became HGO's youngest general director and was instrumental in making Houston the home of innovative new opera. Next month's End of the Affair marks HGO's 29th world premiere.
"Of course [Gockley] would be a natural candidate for the job," says Houston Ballet managing director Cecil C. Conner Jr. "But it would be a pity to lose him."
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Would he consider going, though? While there have been lots of leave-takings lately, many of Houston's art jefes wouldn't consider going elsewhere. Conner himself has twice turned down offers from American Ballet Theatre.
Gockley was vacationing in Mexico and unavailable for comment when news broke about the New York post. The HGO press team declined to comment, as did the Met's media handlers, who said they didn't know about the candidate search.
The Met is the largest, most prestigious opera company in America, with more than 200 performances a year and a budget of $200 million. Opera America's Scorca says the search process could take up to a year, and that Volpe would stay on at the Met for two more years.
So far, there's no indication that Gockley would leave the company he built. As one HGO board member put it, "It just wouldn't be Houston Grand Opera without him."

At 80, Still a Figure of Vitality and Influence
Bassist John Patitucci remembers the LPs his grandfather gave him when he was 10. "I kept listening to Art Blakey's 'Mosaic' album, with Wayne Shorter in the band," he said in an interview. "Wayne's composition 'Children of the Night' sounded strange and magical. His playing was great, but it was his writing that reached inside a little kid who had no experience with jazz and touched him."
Drummer Brian Blade discovered Mr. Shorter through "Live at the Plugged Nickel," a defining example of small-ensemble interplay from Miles Davis's mid-1960s quintet. "I could hear Wayne as the connective force in that music," he said. Pianist Geri Allen was transfixed by a concert Mr. Shorter gave at Howard University in the 1970s. "His music felt really huge in scale, like an orchestra was there when he called on it," she said. "But it was also very delicate, and fragile. I began to think of these dimensions as goals in my music."
Bassist Esperanza Spalding was drawn to Mr. Shorter's work with Weather Report, which embodied fusion's best promise, and "Native Dancer," his 1974 collaboration with Brazilian singer Milton Nascimento. For trumpeter Dave Douglas, it was pianist Herbie Hancock's 1976 album, "VSOP," and Davis's 1967 album, "Miles Smiles." "But what really killed me," Mr. Douglas said, "was Wayne's playing on the Joni Mitchell album, 'Mingus.' He played so few notes, yet every one was a gem. How do you pack so much feeling into such a small gesture?"
Mr. Shorter's career invites multiple points of entry. Perhaps the most stirring one of all is his quartet of the past dozen years, including Mr. Patitucci, Mr. Blade and pianist Danilo Pérez. With this group, Mr. Shorter has scripted a daring late-career chapter, largely eschewing song forms and, increasingly, working in collaboration with classical musicians. "Without a Net" (Blue Note), released in January, featured the woodwind quintet Imani Winds; recent concerts have involved the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Rightly considered among jazz's greatest composers and signature saxophonists, Mr. Shorter now uses his classic works as mere springboards toward collective improvisation, and to foster what he calls "self-actualized communal leadership." A familiar melody pops up, but is just as soon gone. He rarely plays a conventional solo anymore. The music focuses on motion, dynamics and mood, without concern for style or credo. "At first we thought Wayne was going to come in with the scrolls and we were going to play what it is," Mr. Blade said. "But he had already moved on from all that."
Mr. Shorter's enduring vitality and influence underscore Friday's concert at Manhattan's Town Hall, billed within the Blue Note Jazz Festival as an 80th-birthday celebration, one of several such events through December (he turns 80 on Aug. 25). Along with his quartet, the program includes: ACS, a trio of Ms. Allen, Ms. Spalding and drummer Terri Lyne Carrington (all of whom have worked with Mr. Shorter); and Sound Prints, a quintet led by Mr. Douglas and saxophonist Joe Lovano, established stars banded together to develop original compositions inspired by Mr. Shorter's music.
Mr. Shorter's compositions are touchstones for development of jazz musicianship. "When Wayne says that a tune like 'Footprints' is never really finished," Mr. Lovano said, "he means it because he's designed it that way. He's inviting you in." Mr. Shorter's "Fall" prompted Mr. Pérez to think of basslines as melodic elements.
"Nefertiti," as recorded by Davis's quintet, is, for Ms. Allen, "a transformative moment for modern music, a major shift. It is still initiating breakthroughs in the way we think about the force of melody in that equation."
"As soon as I start to talk technically about Shorter's music I feel like it misses the point," Mr. Douglas said. "But his 'Aung San Suu Kyi' shows this magical interlocking of elements that transports the listener to a special place. There's the emotionally urgent, pentatonic-based melody, set against chromatically shifting harmony. There's the relaxed rhythm of the basic underlying groove, matched with a considerably more syncopated and sophisticated melodic movement. The song is so encrusted with detail that it's easy to forget that it's basically a blues."
The experience of playing and touring with Mr. Shorter is equally instructive. "Listening to him up close, I learned how to shape a phrase," Ms. Carrington said. "He doesn't play a lot of eighth-notes in a row. He figures out other ways to approach rhythm."
For Mr. Blade, it hasn't always been what Mr. Shorter played. "Even in his silence, he's contributing so much. He'll narrow his eyes, and I can tell he's envisioning things. He gives you a look, as if to say, 'Is that all you've got? Come on. Talk to me.' There's intensity to the intention, and that makes you give all of yourself in each moment."
Mr. Shorter's deepest impact lies in his approach to creativity. "When Wayne gives us music," Mr. Pérez said, "it's almost like a book group. We read about a topic, and then we'll be discussing it when we get onstage." Mr. Pérez said that, in directing the Global Jazz Institute at Boston's Berklee College of Music, "I make students focus not just on dreams but also fears: What are you afraid of? As Wayne taught me, that's where freedom begins."
At Mr. Shorter's invitation, Ms. Spalding recently wrote a libretto to his "Gaia," an extended piece she sang in premiere in February with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Beyond the creative process, the collaboration was profound for a rising young star. "It was nice to be in an environment where you don't have to be embarrassed about expressing just how joyful and excited you feel," she said. "Wayne just makes me feel like, no matter what I do, I'm okay."
Mr. Blumenfeld writes about jazz for the Journal. He also blogs at blogs.artinfo.com/blunotes.

Nasty and Bitter move to Muskego
I've already received a couple of nice e-mails about this week's column on the possible recall of Mayor Charles Damaske in Muskego.
Mayor Charles Damaske of Muskego is at the center of controversy again, and this time it threatens to remove him from office prematurely. With about 18 months left in his first term of office, Damaske faces a possible recall by the Muskego Seven (they don't have a name yet, so I thought I would help them out). The Muskego Seven are calling their friends and neighbors in the next two weeks to find out if they should proceed or let Damaske finish his term.
Those must be fun conversations, eh? "Hello, Edna Svaardburg? Do you think we should start gathering signatures to recall a mayor who allegedly shoved a woman in an allegedly unsafe structure?" You can't pay for poll questions like that.
I'm not a big fan of recalls, and the move by the state to make them even easier in municipal government – more time, less signatures – means we can expect more recalls in the near future.

I was filming yesterday and my can-on xha1 was in manual instead of automatic mode for audio. I noticed only after recording for 10 minutes. I think this would only pick up from the onboard mic(unsure). However, I was wondering if there is a way that you can reedit/sort the audio.

Manual control only means the recording level is controlled manually instead of automatically. It has nothing to do with which mics are plugged in.
What is the actual problem you are experiencing? Volume adjustments can be made with any editing system.
I downloaded the footage last night and couldn't hear anything. I put it in the editing suite(pinnacle - i know not the best ) but couldn't hear a thing. I think the manual setting was set really low. Tried to increase it by moving it up, however nothing worked.
Thanks for reply
Pinnacle is certainly capable of boosting the gain. You can try setting it all the way up, exporting and reimporting that section, adding another boost, etc. But it's entirely possible you recorded with the gain turned all the way down -- in which case there is truly no signal.
Another thing to check is whether you may have recorded part of the tape with 12-bit sound and another part with 16-bit -- so try to recapture with the opposite setting. But given your initial post this seems unlikely.

Easy wellness ideas for small companies
BY Liz Brown | November 13, 2012
When people think of a tech start-up, they often have visions of software engineers hunched over computers late at night, slurping energy drinks, their faces reflecting the bluish glow of a computer screen. Tech start-up A Thinking Ape, which employs just over 50 people, is looking to change that perception by encouraging a culture of health and wellness.
Read: 5 pillars of health and wellness for any size company
At their office in Vancouver, B.C., Sonia Ryan is working to ensure employees are at least introduced to healthy lifestyle options. Ryan's title on her business card is 'troublemaker.' As she describes it, her job involves various duties from talent acquisition and retention, to PR, to spearheading initiatives that help promote company culture.
"When I joined last year, one of my responsibilities was to implement a healthy food program, so we just started to experiment with initiatives around healthy eating," says Ryan.
Read: Poor eating habits increase risk of employee chronic disease
This included ordering in fresh, organic fruits and vegetables for the staff to munch on in the kitchen and implementing a healthy office lunch every Wednesday. The company also added physical activity to the mix, starting a hockey team and organizing a group that participates in boxing classes a few times a week.
Wanting more ideas and a plan, Ryan enlisted the help of WellnessFits, a program set up by the Canadian Cancer Society of British Columbia and Yukon, which offers employers free resources to help create active, healthy workplaces.
"I have a lot of great ideas, but it's great to partner with someone who can help execute my ideas and provide me with some ideas and educational materials," says Ryan.
That someone is Sue MacPhail, the WellnessFits coordinator who offered her consulting services to Ryan. One of MacPhail's suggestions was tailored to A Thinking Ape's employee demographics—software engineers who are mostly under 30 years old. She suggested having a chef come in to the office to teach the staff how to cook healthy meals. "It's taking healthy living even outside the work environment that translates into behaviour changes," says Ryan.
While it's too early into this program for Ryan to offer any hard data on the impact these changes have had at A Thinking Ape, she says that employees have been receptive. "People in the office are looking for ways to do something active,'" she says. To this end, it has encouraged workers to brainstorm other activities to engage in at work.

"One of the pieces we're trying to get across and educate in our promotions of the program is that a healthy workforce really does help with lower absenteeism, higher employee morale and greater employee productivity. Ultimately that's a smart business strategy," says MacPhail.

Thing Statistics
This is a stand that can be customized for any tablet or phone or book shaped thing. It collapses for portability and has many support angles from 45 to 90 degrees. The length of the stand is determined from the height of the tablet, or you can extend its length beyond the minimum to increase the number of angle options.
- Configure the parameters within the customizer to fit your tablet or phone or device.
- Start by printing the lid.
- Now go back to customizer and create a few "CalibrationRest" STL's using various values for the Calibration parameter. Print out the STL's and see which attaches snuggly to your lid. Now you know which calibration value to use.
- Now you know your calibration value, go back to the customizer and create the "Rest"
I've added a few patterns that can be applied to the lid so you can quickly distinguish between stands for your different devices.
The STLs included here are for a Nexus7 with a calibration value of -1.

This is one of my favourite things, and everyone in my house has one now. I would like to see it combined with a speaker holder for the popular X-mini speakers.
Hi, I'm glad you like it!
BTW, I used to use X-mini speakers but then I found the Altec Lansing im227 (http://www.amazon.com/Altec-Lansing-iM227-Orbit-Speaker/dp/B004CYKEBK)http://www.amazon.com/Altec-La...
The sound quality is much much higher and it's louder. It uses 3xAAA batteries which last a lot longer than the X-mini internal battery. You can quickly replace them when they run out. It's mono of course, but the X-mini's are effectively mono as the cable that separates them is so short. I can't even give away my X-minis now that my friends have heard the im227. Check the reviews online.
thanks! Is that the same as http://www.amazon.ca/Orbit-MP3-Ultraportable-Mobile-Speaker/dp/B004B1X1CS/ref=pd_cp_ce_0http://www.amazon.ca/Orbit-MP3...
maybe we need a parametric speaker holder, for various round speakers.
Hmm, thingiverse doesn't like it when you put brackets around links it seems. Let me try again...

US President-elect Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan may cost between 675 billion and 775 billion dollars and will favor long-term infrastructure and job creation projects, top Obama aides said.
With the United States facing gloomy forecasts of up to 10 percent unemployment and a deepening recession in 2009 — likely "the bleakest economic outlook since World War II" — Lawrence Summers said creating three million new jobs was a "key pillar" of Obama's plan.
Obama senior adviser David Axelrod told CBS television Sunday that 675 billion and 775 billion were "not fixed" numbers.
"In this crisis, doing too little poses a greater threat than doing too much," Summers, tapped to head the White House National Economic Council, wrote in an editorial in The Washington Post.
"Any sound economic strategy in the current context must be directed at both creating the jobs that Americans need and doing the work that our economy requires."

Yvette Childers was driving to work in her RV one afternoon earlier this month, when the hood started smoking.
"I thought, 'Oh, I popped a radiator,' " Childers, 61, of Addison, Texas, tells PEOPLE. "[Other drivers] going in the opposite direction are yelling at me, going, 'Get out! 'Get out!' "
She quickly stepped out just as the vehicle burst into flames.
As she waited for help to arrive, all she could think about was her 1-year-old Chihuahua named My Little Pony, trapped in his crate in the back.
"I'm standing on the side of the road and I'm dying because of her," Childers tells PEOPLE. "I'm going to die if this dog dies. I can't make it.' "
She made that clear when the Addison Fire Department firefighters arrived on the scene.
"I told them, 'I don't care about anything in it,' "she says, "you guys save that dog."
One team of firefighters had knocked out the windows and was working on extinguishing the flames when Capt. Scott Ledet and firefighter and paramedic Jake Metdker arrived.
Metdker headed to the RV to rescue the dog, with Ledet right behind him.
"Metdker couldn't see a foot in front of his face," Ledet, 47, tells PEOPLE. "It was completely smoked out."
Somehow he found the dog crate and handed it out to Ledet. Pony was "laying on her side," he says.
"Her eyes were fixed and open and she wasn't breathing or moving or anything," he says.
He took the crate to the side of the road and gently pulled her out to start CPR.
"I knew, in my opinion, she was dead," he says. "And I knew if I didn't do anything she was going to be dead."
So he started mouth-to-mouth resuscitation – something he never does on a human, let alone a dog – in addition to the CPR.
"I've seen stories where you do mouth-to-nose but she had soot and foam (coming out of her nose), succumbing to the products of the combustion and all, so I didn't want to do that," he says, "and honestly, just instinctively, I just opened her mouth and started breathing for her."
He alternated mouth-to-mouth and CPR for the next 25 to 30 minutes.
He finally got her breathing and was able to hand the pup to its shaking owner.
"I won't say I never experienced that emotion before," he says, "but I almost felt like I was just going to break down and cry because it was a good feeling."
Childers, who works as a palm reader at the Magic Time Machine, a restaurant in Dallas, was left without a home (she parks it a local RV park) or her method of transportation, but she could not be more grateful.
"All I had burned down," she says, "but I'm okay with that because I have Pony."
Friends of hers have set up a GoFundMe page to raise $5,000 for her loss, while the American Red Cross set her up at the Motel 6 for a few days.
As for Pony, she's doing just fine.
"I call her the luckiest little miracle dog," Childers told a Dallas TV station.

TORONTO, April 7 (UPI) -- Seeing a doctor within a month of an emergency room visit for chest pain significantly reduced the risk of heart attack or death, Canadian researchers say.
Senior author Dr. Dennis T. Ko, a scientist at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences and cardiologist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, said the study demonstrated the importance of follow-up care for chest pain patients after leaving the ER.
"Being discharged from the emergency department is reassuring for patients, but it is critical that they follow up with their doctor to reduce their risks of future heart attacks or premature death," Ko said in a statement. "Patients need to advocate for themselves and physicians need to be more diligent about arranging follow-up care."
The research team analyzed data on 56,767 adults -- average age 66 and 53 percent men -- in Ontario, Canada, who were diagnosed with chest pain in an emergency room from April 2004 to March 2010; had been previously diagnosed with heart disease or diabetes; and didn't require additional hospitalization or die within a month.
The study, published in the journal Circulation, found only 17 percent of high-risk chest pain patients seen in the emergency room were evaluated by cardiologists within a month; 58 percent saw a primary care physician and 25 percent had no physician follow-up within a month.
Patients who followed up with a cardiologist within 30 days were 21 percent less likely to have a heart attack or die within one year, compared with patients who failed to seek additional care within that time, the study found.

At Rud Aero, New Designs In The Works
Rud Aero, a small company based in Sebastian, Fla., told AVweb at Sun 'n Fun that besides the two carbon-fiber aerobatic aircraft they had on display, they have two more designs in the works -- a single-engine four-seat high-wing airplane, and a small twin based on the same cabin and wing. The two airplanes on display were experimental two-seaters, the tailwheel RA-2 with tandem seating and the tricycle-gear RA-3 side-by-side. That aircraft is now being EASA certified, company founder Taras Rud told AVweb at the show, and he expects it to be available in the U.S. as an FAA-certified airplane soon. The airplane can be reconfigured in several ways, he said, using different wings for training or for advanced aerobatics, or switching the gear from tricycle to tailwheel, either to accommodate an owner's evolving needs or to satisfy various goals in a flying club.
The new four-seat design now in development, the RA-4, will have a six-cylinder engine, a cabin 10 inches wider than in a Cessna 182, and a low stall speed, Rud said. He expects first flight by the end of this year. "Easy handling is important for this market, where you have owners who aren't flying every day," he said. "It should be easy to land, that's important. Big, roomy, comfortable, fast, with a low landing speed." He is also working on a twin-engine version of the new airplane, he said. �"We have rapid prototyping technology in our plant that makes it possible for us to design and build two aircraft in three years," Rud said. "And number 3 is on the way." Rud says he just started advertising kit versions of the two-seat airplanes a few weeks ago and has a few interested buyers. Owners can come to the factory to help build the fuselage, he said, then take it home to finish the engine installation and the rest. Kits start at $69,000 for a four-cylinder airplane and up to $105,000 for the six-cylinder kit.

George, St. George of England. The author of the Ghiyasu 'l-Lughah says the "Jirgis Baqiya is the name of the prophet who was on several occasions killed by his own people, and was again raised to life by God, and over and over again instructed and preached the way of God. He is called Baqiya on account of his being raised up from the dead." This seems to be a wild and exaggerated account of the story of George of Cappadocia, who suffered death in the first year of the reign of Julian. It is a mystery how this George ever was admitted into the Christian Calendar at all, and still more marvelous how he became a Muslim prophet as well as the patron saint of England. Jalalu 'd-din as Suyuti, in his History of the Temple of Jerusalem, says Jirjis was at Damascus in the time of Mu'awiyah the Khalifh. [AL-KHIZR.]

Holy See Press Office Statement on Gotti Tedeschi document seizure
2012-06-09 Vatican RadioThe Press Office of the Holy See has released a statement in connection with the seizure this week, by Italian authorities, of a private document meant for Pope Benedict XVI when they raided the home of the former head of the board of directors at the Holy See's main financial establishment – the Institute for the Works of Religion, or IOR. Italian paramilitary police raided the home of Ettore Gotti Tedeschi on Tuesday as part of a corruption investigation into Italy's state-controlled aerospace giant Finmeccanica. Gotti Tedeschi himself is not under investigation, and at the time of the raid prosecutors said the search had nothing to do with his recently terminated role as president of the IOR. During the raid, however, police seized documentation Gotti Tedeschi had prepared for the Pope in conncection with the confidence vote he faced last month.
In the statement, the Press Office says The Holy See learned with surprise and concern of the recent events in which Gotti Tedeschi was involved, and expresses the utmost confidence that the sovereign prerogatives of the Holy See - recognized internationally – will be adequately assessed and respected by the Italian judicial authority. The statement goes on to say the Holy See confirms its full confidence in the people who work with commitment and professionalism at the IOR, and is examining the circumstances with great care to see whether any injury might have been done to the Holy See's rights or those of the Holy See's organs. Finally, the statement emphasizes that the motion of no confidence taken against Prof. Gotti Tedeschi by the IOR's Board of Superintendence was founded on objective reasons, related to the governance of the Institute, and not determined by a supposed opposition to the line of transparency, to which the authorities of the Holy See and the IOR itself are wholeheartedly committed.

Cool Jerk is an episode of Hey Arnold!.
While playing dodgeball, Harold gets hurt when a ball he intended to hit Arnold with knocks him out. Infuriated, Harold threatened to beat Arnold up when Frankie G. pulled up on his motorcycle and stopped him. Frankie G. took Arnold for a ride, claiming he has potential. After their ride, Arnold is approached by the jealous neighborhood kids who think Frankie G. who believe he is the coolest person in the city.
The next day before school, Frankie G. approaches Arnold on his motorcycle and they ride off together, much to the chagrin of Gerald. They hang out for the day before, Frankie G. takes Arnold to his apartment and introduces him to to his friends. After Frankie G. drops Arnold off, Gerald warns him that that he could be bad news. Arnold shakes this off and retreats to his room.
That night, Frankie G. took Arnold to the back of a store where his friends waited for them. Frankie G. explained that his head, which had the same shape as the window above the back door, was small enough to break in and when Arnold refused, Frankie G stuffed Arnold's head on the football-shaped hole and got stuck. When they heard a siren, Frankie G. and his friends fled the store, thinking it was the police. It turned out to be Gerald with an old hand-cranked siren. Seeing Arnold stuck, he helped get him off the window. Arnold apologized to Gerald and Gerald forgave him. They're last seen walking together.

- The first time Arnold wears his helmet, it doesn't affect his hair, but the next time he wears the helmet, his hair is messed up.
- The window didn't move but it was closed again after Gerald pulled Arnold out.
