As the presidential campaign finally gets under way (even George W. Bush is actually showing up for debates), we should wonder if the most important primary of the season is the Media Primary.
According to the media conventional wisdom, the Republican race has had one candidate. While they claim to hate the influence of big money in politics, so wowed are they by Bush's fundraising prowess that they forgot their hostility in favor of trumpeting his "inevitability."
Picking a nominee through the smoke-filled room has been replaced. All that matters now is the Media Primary. The media shrink the field through inattention before the candidates even test themselves on a single ballot.
The Media Primary has led the dark horses to put themselves out to pasture. John Kasich stayed in the race just long enough to remind reporters that a sitting member of Congress hasn't won the White House since JFK. Dan Quayle's chance to impress voters was ruined by the media long before he announced. The media liked Liddy Dole and her left-leaning campaign, and did throw her a bone here and there, but they didn't think she had a shot, either. History.
All this happened in part because the media are fixating wholly on the horse race. Picking winners and losers is far more important - and interesting - than any semblance of a discussion over ideas. Their coverage screams: What do ideas matter if you can't win?
The media have underlined their own polls showing Bush with a huge lead, and is that a surprise, the brand name notwithstanding, since he is the only GOP candidate the media have been taking seriously?
So is it over? One pollster recently asked the public if they were paying attention to the race, and the majority aren't. But they don't get a vote in the Media Primary.
In the last few weeks, national journalists have knighted Sen. John McCain as the only threat to the purported Bush dynasty. Neoliberal ninnies like Newsweek's Jonathan Alter and Slate's Jacob Weisberg are now professing their vote for McCain in the Media Primary.
They love McCain because he returns calls. Alter wrote, "Reporters can be bought cheap with a little cooperation when we need it. For years, McCain has reliably returned press calls with a candid line or two."
They love McCain because he indulges their need to be closet politicians with their own agendas for the country. Weisberg cooed over McCain's willingness to consider his ideas on a school-voucher plan. "When McCain flatters you, it doesn't feel automatic or calculated. He truly likes us journalists."
They love McCain for his candor, so much so that he gets a free pass. Weisberg noted that U.S. News reporter Roger Simon passively reported McCain's use of the word "gook." (Just imagine their reaction were Pat Buchanan to use that word.) Weisberg explained: "For those who have watched his career, his outspokenness on the campaign trail appears as a refusal to be cowed by yet another prison and its silly rules."
But most of all, they love McCain because he's a "maverick" who is "growing in office," which is another way of saying "liberal," but the establishment press thinks there's no such thing as a liberal Republican. They relish McCain's liberal ideas like huge tobacco taxes and GOP- gutting, First Amendment-trashing campaign "reform." Alter wrote: "Like his hero Teddy Roosevelt, he lives large and is willing to break china inside his own party, which always makes good copy." Tell that to a pro-life Democrat.
Love for McCain is apparently more important than those "silly rules" about journalists verifying a rumor before printing it. A few weeks ago, freelance journalist Elizabeth Drew, whose latest book thumps the tub for McCain-style campaign "reform," raised the charge in The Washington Post that Senators who don't like McCain were whispering that he's too mentally unstable to be fit for the White House. Drew cited four Senators by name, but all vehemently denied it and no one corroborated the story. Thus, Drew's sleazy rumor unjustly spurred additional sympathy for McCain.
Before the media anoint Bush or McCain, the voters ought to ask: Is the Media Primary the best method for choosing a President? Should one of the measures of presidential timber be the ability to call back reporters and flatter them brilliantly? Eight years ago, another reporter- flattering candidate won the Media Primary. Is the public going to follow silently again?
Weisberg, having fawned over Clinton, now confesses: "I think that at this point, even those of us who think Clinton has been a good president hunger for a successor more deserving of our respect." After their shameful performance in the 1990s, Weisberg and his fellow political reporters are the ones who need to start begging for a little respect. They don't deserve it.

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK — The Danish Council for Strategic Research has granted DKK20 million ($3.8 million) to university scientists for a project that will seek to develop ways to produce oligosaccharides naturally present in human breast milk. Copenhagen-based Danisco and Arla Foods, Viby, Denmark, will serve as industrial partners for the project and will contribute to the research program.
"Research in oligosaccharides from human milk is key to understanding the development of the immune system in newborn infants," said Preben Bodstrup Rasmussen, R&D manager for Child Nutrition at Arla Foods. "Therefore the possibility to develop and manufacture such substances can lead to new and higher standards for commercial infant formula."
Researchers aim to develop an enzymatic process to produce some of the key oligosaccharides, said Andrew Morgan, chief scientific officer at Danisco. Besides Danisco and Arla, the project will involve Technical University of Denmark, the University of Southern Denmark, the University of Copenhagen and the University of Reading in the United Kingdom.
It is unlikely the long-term project will achieve a direct commercial outcome in less than five years, Dr. Morgan said.
Jorn Dalgaard Mikkelsen, a professor at Technical University of Denmark, said, "Some of the substances in breast milk are oligosaccharides, which are believed to be prebiotic, i.e., they nourish the beneficial bacteria in the intestinal system and prevent harmful bacteria from establishing themselves. There are thousands of oligosaccharide structures present in human breast milk, and we need to determine which are the most effective.
"We plan to develop a way to produce these oligosaccharides using an enzymatic process that will convert certain kinds of food materials into the desired products."

Squamous Cell Skin Cancer
Squamous cell skin cancer (carcinoma) most often occurs on areas of the skin that have been in the sun, such as the nose, ears, forehead, lower lip, and hands. But it may also appear on areas of the skin that have been burned, exposed to chemicals, or had radiation therapy. Squamous cell cancers may rapidly grow into large masses and spread to nearby lymph nodes.
Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common skin cancer in light-skinned people. It is rare in people who have dark skin.
Signs and symptoms of squamous cell skin cancer may include a:
Treatment involves surgical removal of the affected skin and may include radiation therapy or topical chemotherapy. When squamous cell skin cancer is properly treated, the cure rate is high.

Real wizard's play-off tour de force got Keane's vote
Ireland captain Robbie Keane backed Cristiano Ronaldo for the Ballon d'Or top spot but Martin O'Neill voted for Lionel Messi.
Keane revealed last week that he had given Ronaldo the nod ahead of Messi, with his old Spurs colleague Gareth Bale in third. O'Neill went for the same three players with Messi first, Ronaldo second and Bale also on the podium.
"I've voted Messi every other year but I just think this year he (Ronaldo) has been consistent," said Keane. "I know he's just doing the same thing that he always does but I think this year that if anyone deserves it he does; just look at what he did in the play-offs against Sweden."
England captain Steven Gerrard went for Ronaldo but was one of the five national captains to register a vote for Luis Suarez, placing him in third.
Suarez's Liverpool team-mate Martin Skrtel put him in top spot, as did Uruguayan skipper Diego Lugano, who put another countryman, Edinson Cavani, in second place. There was also a bit of parochialism close to home with Wales' Ashley Williams -- and boss Chris Coleman -- opting for Bale as his top choice. Dutch skipper Robin Van Persie placed Arjen Robben at the top of his list.
Several coaches also raised eyebrows by ignoring both Messi and Ronaldo from their top three. Italian supremo Cesare Prandelli went for Andrea Pirlo followed by Philipp Lahm and Robert Lewandowski.
USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann went for German-based Franck Ribery ahead of Gareth Bale and Falcao, while all-conquering Spain coach Vicente del Bosque went for Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Ribery.
There were some unusual first preferences with Thiago Silva (China), Cavani (Lebanon), Lahm (Israel) and Thomas Muller (Bhutan) receiving first preferences from unexpected quarters.
Arsenal's Mesut Ozil, a German international of Turkish origin, was chosen by the manager and captain of his ancestral home.

New Richmond to host WACPC dance regional tournament on Saturday
The New Richmond High School dance team and the New Richmond Athletic Department will host the 2013 Wisconsin Association of Cheer and Pom Coaches (WACPC) Dance Team Regional Competition this Saturday at the high school gym.
"It's very exciting and a great opportunity for our school district as well as the entire New Richmond community," said Tiger dance coach Ali Saliny. "The opportunity to host WACPC regionals is something that I've always had my eye on, and when our new high school was built, I knew we could do it."
Last summer, New Richmond Athletic Director Casey Eckardt and Saliny were presented with the opportunity to showcase their facilities to the WACPC board. After a few meetings, they got word that WACPC had officially named New Richmond as the host for the regional competition.
"Casey and I gave an initial tour over the summer and after five minutes of being in our high school, the WACPC board was sold on hosting this big event in New Richmond. They were so impressed with our schools, our facilities, and our entire community," Saliny said.
The regional competition has been held in Eau Claire for many years, but will take place in New Richmond for the next three years. With 42 teams, 60 coaches, and nearly 2,000 spectators participating in this competition it will to bring business and new faces to New Richmond.
"Many local businesses, such as Ready Randy's and Family Fresh, have helped us prepare by making big donations. Everything we need for that day, from the concession stand to the signs directing traffic, has been purchased locally or has been donated by and from our community. The support from local businesses, New Richmond alumni, the New Richmond athletic department and the dance team parents have all played a vital role in working to make next Saturday's Regional competition a success!" Saliny said.
This event is open to the general public. On Saturday, doors open for spectators at 9 a.m., the competition beings at 10 a.m. and admission is $5. "It's going to be a great day full of incredible talent and great competition" said Saliny. "Our team has seven strong seniors. They are the heart of this team, more dedicated than ever before."
The NRHS dance team has spent a great amount of time to prepare for regionals and hopes to earn another trip to the state competition.

San Antonio girl dies after attack by pit bull
SAN ANTONIO - A 10-year-old girl has died after being attacked by her neighbor's dog while trying to help the animal after it had gotten its collar caught on a chain link fence.
Amber Jones was in her backyard Friday afternoon practicing cheerleadering moves when she noticed that in an attempt to jump over the fence, the pit bull was caught. As she had done several times before, she asked her mom if she could help the dog.
Her mother said yes. When the girl went to the dog's rescue, the dog attacked her.
Hearing her daughter's screams, Lori Jones ran into the backyard. The dog had bitten Amber in the stomach and was now attached to her neck.
Amber's mother tried to push the dog off. A man rushed to help and got the dog away from both mother and daughter. The family does not know the man but said if he had not been there the dog could have attacked Lori Jones as well.
Police chief defends use of tasers despite report
HOUSTON (AP) - Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt defends his department's use of Tasers, even though the stun guns have yet to reduce the rate of suspects shot, wounded and killed by officers, a newspaper reported.
The Houston City Council approved a $4.7 million contract to purchase Tasers in November 2004, touting them as tools for curbing deadly police shootings. The Tasers were introduced one year after the shootings of two unarmed teens.
The Houston Chronicle reported Sunday that HPD officers have used Tasers more than 1,000 times in the past two years. But in 95 percent of those cases, they were not used to defuse situations in which suspects wielded weapons and deadly force clearly would have been justified.
Central Texas mulch fire still raging; rain helping
SAN ANTONIO - Firefighters are making progress in trying to put out a mulch fire that's been burning for nearly three weeks at a recycling operation in Helotes, officials said.
Firefighters dumped more than 600,000 gallons of water on the blaze Saturday and began to break it apart with heavy equipment. Rainy weather helped contain smoke and ash that officials feared would result from an attempt to break apart the branches and wood chips that have fueled the blaze.
"The weather is really on our side," said Terry Clawson, spokesman with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Breast cancer survivors 'being failed despite reporting returning symptoms'
Women who believe they have overcome breast cancer are being failed "every step of the way" when they experience symptoms of the disease coming back, a damning report has found.
The study, for the charity Breast Cancer Care, said some women had their concerns - such as back and bone pain - ignored by their GP for months, with a fifth given treatment for something else.
The charity also heard from women who were given months of physiotherapy or painkillers instead of investigations for cancer, and w omen being first told they have advanced breast cancer in A&E.
The new report says thousands of patients with incurable breast cancer across England, Scotland and Wales could be receiving "second-rate care".
The study is based 840 women who were eventually told they have advanced, incurable breast cancer - one of the biggest studies of its kind.
Of these, 72% had had a previous diagnosis of primary breast cancer, while 28% learned they had breast cancer when it had already begun to spread to other parts of their body.
Overall, 8% were told the news in A&E, suggesting "some people are left struggling with uncontrolled symptoms that become so debilitating they are rushed to hospital", the report said.
A fifth (20%) of those surveyed said that, despite thinking something might be wrong, it was eight weeks or more before they saw a hospital doctor.
Almost a third (31%) did not feel healthcare professionals listened to their concerns about having the disease.
The report also found that awareness of advanced cancer is low, even among those who have had an initial diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer.
Some 64% did not suspect they had advanced cancer, while only 8% said they fully expected their diagnosis.
Even among those that had a previous diagnosis of primary breast cancer, over half (56%) did not think it had come back.
But almost six in 10 (58%) did not know how to spot signs and symptoms of the disease and most were not told how to get back in touch with hospitals if they suspected something was wrong.
Samia al Qadhi, chief executive of Breast Cancer Care, said: "Today's report paints an extremely worrying picture. Our findings uncover the true extent of inadequate care for people with incurable breast cancer - from feeling they're not taken seriously when they raise concerns, to facing avoidable delays to a diagnosis, or being told the news in A&E. This is absolutely unacceptable.
"Prompt diagnosis is crucial to help control severe symptoms and allow people with incurable breast cancer to make every day count - as a mum or grandmother, at work, and when making memories with friends. Yet, for so many this is not happening."
Mother-of-one Emma Cairns, 43, from Wokingham, Berkshire, was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer in 2011. She said: "I started getting really bad back ache about four years after my primary breast cancer. Tests at my GP came back okay and I was told to get on with things. But the pain continued to get worse. After going back and forth and even with three months of physiotherapy, it wasn't any better. I still didn't get an MRI scan.
"A year-and-a-half later I could barely walk. Finally an MRI was arranged and I was still reassured it was probably nothing. Then, after the scan I was told I had incurable breast cancer. Not only that, I had three collapsed vertebrae and the cancer was in my pelvis and liver. I was distraught.
"I'd been made to feel I was making a fuss about nothing and now I was facing my worst nightmare."
Mother-of-three Claire McDonnell, 43, from Reading, Berkshire, was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer in November 2013. She said: "I wasn't told anything about looking out for signs and symptoms of the cancer returning after my primary breast cancer diagnosis. I didn't know bone pain could be a warning sign. And when I started getting a stabbing pain in my sternum I went to my GP and was prescribed painkillers.
"After a year I went to see my oncologist. I thought tests would rule out anything serious. Instead I was told my cancer was back, had spread around my body and was incurable. There was little support and I was in total shock. It was devastating to think it could have been spotted earlier."

An Introduction To MIG Welding
The welding circuit consists essentially of the Power source, the MIG Torch, a Wirefeeder, optional Water cooling unit, gas cylinder with regulator and an earth clamp.
1. Power Source
The purpose of the power source is to feed the weld zone with the welding material, by means of a special torch, and to maintain the electric arc that is struck between the piece to be welded and the consumable wire electrode. Unlike Stick (MMA) and TIG power sources, where there is only one regulating parameter (welding current), on MIG power sources there are two regulating devices, one which regulates electric arc intensity (welding voltage), and another which regulates the rate of welding wire feed (welding current). Power sources can be divided into two categories:
a) direct current (DC) power sources
Direct current power sources are the most common type of power source and are characterised by their high stability; this is because they are based on the fact that an electric arc will tend to stabilise naturally if it is powered at constant voltage and generated on a wire fed at a constant rate. Given the flexibility of the process, there is some elasticity in the choice of voltage and wire feed rate parameters. In this way it is possible to obtain drop transfer, from the welding material to the material to be welded, using either the "short arc" immersion procedure or the "spray arc" procedure, which are explained later.
b) pulsed current power sources
In this case it is not the voltage size that is regulated in the power source, but the current, which is not held constant but modulated with a train of impulses (hence the name "pulsed"). The purpose of the impulses is to force the drop to detach itself from the welding material; in this case the arc is not stabilised naturally, so that the impulses and wire feed rate must be perfectly synchronised to achieve an acceptable weld.
Both the in first and second case, at least two knobs are used for regulation; recent research in the industry has led to the development and marketing of "synergic" type welding machines in which the operator uses only one control knob. The manufacturer memorises the optimal welding parameters in the power source and these can be recalled and/or corrected by the operator, depending on the particular job requirements.
The different polarities when connecting the poles of the power source to the material to be welded identify two operating modes:
i) direct current with straight polarity connection
With electrode negative connection, the torch is connected to the negative pole and the material to be welded to the positive pole of the power source; this type of connection is only used in welding with tubular wire (FLUX).
ii) direct current with reverse polarity connection
When welding with this operating mode, the torch is connected to the positive pole and the piece to be welded to the negative pole of the power source; this is the most frequently used type of connection.
2. MIG Torch
The MIG torch, which is used to transfer the welding metal to the welding zone, has an externally insulated body and allows the passage of the wire electrode, the gas and the welding current . Its handle contains a control button for switching on the current, gas output and wire electrode feed. The cable bundle consists of a current conductor, control cables, the gas pipe, cooling water circulation pipes (if present) as well as the wire-guide liner. There are a variety of different types of welding torches available on the market. Water-cooled torches are used when the current intensity used is such that it generates a considerable amount of heat: they are used for working currents of over 300A or for pulsed currents. Self-cooled torches are cooled by the gas shield and are used when the working current is below 300A; these are very common.
3. Wirefeeder
The wirefeeder device is powered by a motor whose job is to push the MIG wire, initially wound round a reel, up through the torch and in to the weld zone. The choice of wire feed speed is made by adjusting the motor regulator; a given wire feed rate implies a certain melting rate and hence a defined value for the welding current. A distinguishing property of a wirefeeder is the number of wirefeed rollers; devices with 4 rollers feed the wire more uniformly than those with 2 rollers and are often more reliable on softer wires (e.g aluminium).
4. Water Cooling System (Optional)
The water cooler unit is a device used to cool a water-cooled MIG torch, should the high welding currents used cause excessive overheating. A pump ensures continuous circulation of water in the torch and, by means of a cooling system, keeps the water at a low enough temperature to be effective.
5. Gas Cylinder With Regulator
The cylinder contains the shielding gas(es) such as argon, helium, carbon dioxide or a mixture of them, and is fitted with a pressure gauge with related pressure reducer, which is used to indicate the quantity of gas in the cylinder. The Power Source is also normally fitted with a solenoid valve, controlled by the button on the torch, which opens and closes the gas flow as welding starts or stops.
6. Earth Clamp
The clamp with earth cable is used to make the electrical connection between the power source and the base material to be welded. The diameter and length of the cable are determined by the maximum current from the power source

Rider Earns Top Seed in This Week's MAAC Baseball Tournament
Tickets are now on sale for the 2013 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Baseball Championship Tournament, from May 23 to 26, at Mercer County's Arm & Hammer Park, on Rt. 29 South in Trenton, with the regular-season MAAC champion Rider baseball team entering play as the tournament's No. 1 seed.
Tickets for adults are $30 for an all-session tournament pass (seven games) or $15 per day which gets you both games each day. Students and children are $15 for an all-session pass or $5 per day.
The entire tournament, including Rider's (34-20, 18-6 MAAC) opening game Thursday night at 7 p.m. against fourth-seeded Siena College (25-28 15-9 MAAC), will be broadcast on a pay-per-view basis (audio and video) on MAAC.TV.
The free audio-only broadcast of all Rider games Thursday through Sunday will be broadcast on 107.7FM The Bronc, 1077thebronc.com, and will be available via links at GoBroncs.com.
The opening game on Thursday will feature No. 2 seed Marist College (27-22-1, 17-7 MAAC) against third-seeded Canisius College (39-15, 15-9 MAAC) at 3 p.m.
The four-team, double-elimination tournament will crown the MAAC champion and advance the winner to one of 16 four-team Regionals in the 64-team NCAA Championship Tournament.
In 2010, Rider, the third seed, won the MAAC Tournament in Fishkill, N.Y., and advanced to the NCAA Regional at Texas.
In 2008, the fourth-seeded Broncs hosted and won the MAAC tournament at what was then called Mercer County Waterfront Park in Trenton and advanced to the nationally televised NCAA Regional hosted by Cal-State Fullerton.

Ross Rebagliati is in the spotlight again.
More than a decade after winning an Olympic gold medal for snowboarding, he's taking on a new opponent, International Trade Minister Stockwell Day.
Rebagliati is the Liberal candidate who will be going up against Day, the incumbent Conservative in the federal riding of Okanagan-Coquihalla riding in British Columbia, where the former Olympian works as a real estate agent.
He isn't afraid of a challenge. He made Olympic history by winning the first gold medal for snowboarding in Nagano, Japan, in 1998. And then again for having the medal stripped away after testing positive for marijuana. The decision was later overturned and the medal returned.
On the slope and on the road, Rebagliati loves speed. That's why he drives two second-hand Porsches - a 1981 Porsche 928 and a 1984 Porsche 944.
"The Porsche is more of a driving enthusiast's car. You see a Bimmer and it represents a corporate world. The Porsche is more edgy, more snowboard, more hard-core. It's a race car for the street. It's my style," says Rebagliati, who won't be competing in the 2010 Vancouver games, but he will carry the Olympic torch in Osoyoos, B.C., next month.
"You never see the 928. I remember when Risky Business came out - that was one of my favourite movies. It's one of those cars that I've always liked.
"The great thing about them is they're a dime a dozen. It's not an expensive car to get into. You can find one for less than 10-grand. You can buy a Hyundai for the same price and then you have a Hyundai."
Rebagliati traded in his wife's Jaguar XJS convertible for the 928 last year. "The Jag wasn't very practical.
"The back seats weren't usable. There wasn't space between the front and rear seats and the trunk wasn't big enough to fit the real estate signs into - it was useless for what we needed it for," says Rebagliati, who worked in real estate after retiring from competition a decade ago.
So he turned to a friend who owns a collection of classic cars. "He always told me if I wanted to get rid of the Jag [to call him]because it was a rare six-cylinder version - most were a V-12 and not available in Canada. We picked ours up in the States ...
"He had this really cool burgundy 928 at the back of his collection. So I called him up and I said, 'What about a 928 for a trade?' He was a little reluctant but I managed to get the deal done."
"I just finished getting my extended winter tires on it - I'm looking forward to rallying it all winter.
"The 928 has four seats and the engine is in the front - most Porsches have the engine in the back. Because the engine isn't in the back, I've got this huge area for the two back seats plus the hatchback, which opens up. I can put in my mountain bikes and snowboards - they all fit inside it." As does the car seat for his six-month-old son Ryan Enzo.
Rebagliati bought the 1984 Porsche 944 three years ago; he tinkers with it often.
"I took out the passenger seat and there's this bed that I've made for my two dogs. I've done a little work on it to keep it road-worthy. "It's a great little car. It's a four-cylinder - it's great on gas. I bought it when gas prices were super-expensive," says Rebagliati, who just wrote a book on snowboarding called Off the Chain .
Before the Porsches, he was a truck guy - he owned a new 2008 Ford F350 King Ranch crew cab with a twin-turbo diesel.
"I used to have the big truck payments - $1,200-$1,300 a month - whatever. Who wants that? It's just a waste of money. … I always needed a truck for my snowboarding and my camper. But I always wanted a sports car.
"When the price of gas got so high I went to get this little four-cylinder 944. All of a sudden my gas consumption went right down."
Plus, the 944 was more fun to drive. "It has the speed of a snowboarder. This thing is a brute," says Rebagliati before boasting about his driving record.
"I figured out I've clocked over 800,000 kilometres since I was 16. No accidents. Very few traffic violations. One time I rolled through the stop sign near my house, which was two doors from the stop sign - just minor stuff.
"I have my full driver's discount. I'm 38 years old and I've managed to keep all of my cars upright and in the right lane."
He has also owned a 1972 Volkswagen van, a Honda Accord, a Toyota panel van, a 1991 Dodge Ram truck, and a 1999 Ford F350 pickup. He prefers buying second-hand cars to new ones.
"Used is better than buying a brand-new car. For example, my 928 was $100,000 brand new in 1981 and the value I traded it in for was less than $10,000. This car is never going to be worth less than that unless I smash it.
"You don't have to spend $50,000-$60,000 on a car to have fun with it. I'm a big believer in cars under $10,000. You can literally find any brand of car that you've ever dreamt about for around the $10,000 range and never lose money," says Rebagliati who is active with charities Make-A-Wish Foundation, Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver and Kids Help Phone.
"I've been enjoying buying these older cars and not wasting or losing money and having a ton of fun.
"Because it's not brand new who cares if it gets a scratch. I drive my cars all year round - in the snow, rain or mud.
"I don't care if it's a Porsche - that's all the more reason to drive it in the mud."
But if he had his dream car, it might be a different story. He's got quite a wish, though: he rambles them off: a Ferrari Scaglietti, a Porsche Panamera, a Porsche 911 GT2, a Spyker, a Lamborghini …

CRL Study Highlights Toll of Predatory Lending on Military
WASHINGTON - The consequences of payday lending on military personnel are well known, and now the Center for Responsible Lending has come out with an analysis that confirms, "military families are perfect targets for payday lenders." Among some of "Payday Lenders Target the Military, Evidence Lies in Industry's Own Data" findings are active-duty military personnel are three times more likely than civilians to have taken out a payday loan; one in five active-duty military personnel were payday borrowers last year, making the number of military members who are payday borrowers at 225,000; predatory payday lending costs military families over $80 million in abusive fees every year. "Payday lenders are concentrated around bases. Steady government paychecks are a reliable source of fees for the payday lenders. Lenders can be confident borrowers will continue to pay because military people face harsh consequences, like courts martial, for not repaying their debts.The Department of Defense says payday lending is one of the top ten issues facing military families," the CRL says. Exacerbating the situation, says CRL, is the fact that most military personnel do not earn enough to get ahead or out of the "debt trap" Using a $20,000 annual salary as an example and deducting taxes and regular household monthly expenses, the CRL estimates the balance of disposable income left a military member is about $100 per paycheck. If a military member doesn't have savings, then almost any emergency can prompt the individual to seek a short-term loan, it offers. "Payday lenders take advantage of this need," it stresses, not just by pulling military members into the vicious payday loan cycle, but by concentrating payday shops around military bases. The situation has not gone unnoticed by Congress and the Department of Defense. The CRL report notes that the DOD lists payday lending among its top 10 issues of concern for military families and recently asked governors and state legislators to work with the DOD to protect service members from payday loans. In addition, military personnel have testified or written letters to state legislators asking for protection from predatory payday lenders. Military families have also testified in several states on the dangers of payday lending The report makes mention of two pieces of legislation that were introduced by Rep. Sam Graves (R-Mo.) and Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.) that address the situation. Graves' measure would cap payday loans at 36% interest for military personnel and their spouses; Dole's amendment to the Defense Authorization bill in the Senate would provide the same protection. CRL further recommends Congress enact policies that protect military members and all citizens "from the debt trap of payday lending." Among its recommendations: * a minimum loan term of 90 days to enable borrowers to recover from financial emergencies; * repayment in installments with no prepayment penalty to enable borrowers to recover incrementally; * full consideration of borrowers' ability to repay the loan; * no use of personal check (or electronic equivalent) as loan collateral to stop punitive civil collection actions and accumulation of bounded-check fees; and to remove the fear of criminal prosecution; * meaningful limits on rollovers, extensions and back-to-back transactions to stop loan flipping; and * no mandatory arbitration clause so borrowers retain their right to sue for redress. -


text: Smells sublime when dry, Marco Polo-ish almost. But steeped, just a cup and I am quite uncertain. I feel the bergamot putting it firmly with earlgrey-ish territory (and out of Marco polo territory) and a vanilla/caramel taste. Base tea has some oomph but maybe too much oomph, it is tasting astringent to me. This is just not working for me. Tap water today smelled horribly of bleach, that can not help, must try this with bottled water and shorter steeping time.

TAP interface role expands in device test
Many styles of test interfaces have been optimized for various constraints and goals over the years. There does, however appear to be a trend of test moving toward standard interfaces and increased applications of plug-and-play methods for wafer-level and packaged IC testing.The use of a simple TAP (test access port) interface as the only test port should increase in popularity. I mentioned in a previous article how boundary scan cells can be used for contactless IO wrap and leakage tests through just the five-pin TAP interface.
The TAP has been the common interface for BIST (built-in self test) control and verification. Often, scan testing would use separate scan channels, but why not use the TAP as the scan test interface? If you do, then all levels of test would need the five-pin TAP only. That opens up many opportunities. Because there are only a few pins necessary for test through the TAP interface, it's easier to support multi-site test (multiple die tested in parallel). In addition, retargeting wafer-level test patterns to packaged device, 3D packages, or even devices embedded in boards or systems is easier.
Using a TAP as the standard device test interface means that all test platforms or test methods for devices populated on boards would have a well-understood and common interface. Thus, test planning and support would be much more predictable. Even custom patterns for internal functions often use the TAP as the primary interface, and the trend is growing with the adoption of IJTAG for plug-and-play control and test of these internal functions.
A few features are necessary to have an efficient scan test through the TAP. One is the use of RPCT (reduced pin count test) so that the die logic is tested as close to the IO pads as possible. RPCT uses boundary scan cells because they are close to the pads and configures them to work as internal scan chains. The next important feature is embedded compression that works off of one scan channel. This is important for controlling the test application time, since the scan tests will use the TAP TDI (test-data in) and TDO (test-data out) as one scan channel. The figure below shows the TAP interface with RPCT and a one-channel embedded compression interface.
Figure 1. Example of a test structure with only the 1149.1 TAP as the test interface. RPCT structure reuses boundary scan cells during scan testing to test close to the IO without contacting them.
Finally, scan control signals such as scan_enable are needed to control the test modes and internal clock controllers for at-speed test. Our three-pin LPCT (low pin count test) embedded compression solution inserts logic to control these signals and has a state machine and counters to know when we are in chain test, scan test, and shifting. However, instead of inserting state machine logic, we can use the TAP as the state machine to reduce the amount of logic inserted for scan test to a very small amount. A special, and highly efficient, LPCT controller is inserted that reuses some functions of the TAP (we refer to as a type-2 LPCT controller).
The common method of at-speed scan test support is to include on-chip clock controllers (OCCs) within the design. The standard method of controlling them is through scan cell loading; ATPG tools automatically understand and decide how to control them. RPCT enables very high stuck-at coverage, so it is possible to achieve high coverage without contacting the functional IO. The boundary scan cells usually are timed much slower than the internal logic, so the interface from internal flop to boundary scan cell would not be tested at-speed. It is possible to perform an at-speed test of this logic, but the boundary scan logic would need to be optimized at the internal clock frequency.
Scan test through a TAP presents an appealing standard configuration, that enables efficient and portable test. Very large designs might still desire many parallel scan channels to keep the test time down.

Rewarding the hard work
Eric J. Kuhn idea for FoundersCard came to him while leading his startup, Varsity Books, down the path towards an IPO. At the time, Kuhn took advantage of hotel and airfare discounts provided to his investment bankers and questioned why hard-working founders couldn't receive similar perks. He also felt the sense of community among startup creators could use a boost. So, he created the FoundersCard to solve both issues. Any founder can apply to become a member, but there's no guarantee of acceptance. If you do qualify, for an annual fee of $495 (or less in some cases), members receive a variety of perks. Particularly valuable incentives include discounts on airlines (Virgin Atlantic and American Airlines), hotel groups (The W and the Standard), and plenty more ranging from John Varvatos to AT&T. For heavy travelers, the airline benefits alone make the card a worthy investment. Networking opportunities are also a major bonus for entrepreneurs looking to connect with peers, since the company hosts frequent, members only events, in startup hotbeds such as New York, San Francisco and London. Interested self-starters can apply for membership here.

HDR in Helsinki: Hakaniemen Ranta
Hakaniemen ranta is a nice beach boulevard in downtown Helsinki. In summertime there are restaurant ships, green grass and picnic people. Now there are, uh, nothing. Just this surprisingly nice view with all this slush and rain in Helsinki. The ice had melted a bit, sky was blue and there were some green stuff growing between the tiles giving a nice contrast to this photo. Soon Hakaniemen ranta shall be even more green :)

Have you seen a doctor? If you did, did you tell him about the steroids? I know you may feel embarrassed or ashamed, but it is vital information. It's not the doctor's job to judge you, just treat you.
I don't really know what it could be. Maybe a muscle issue or even a nerve one. You really need to talk to a doctor about it.

Health Secrets From Sint Maarten- Desiree Winkel's Dutch Deal Delivers
Since returning to the States last December after a year and a half on the road, I committed to getting myself back in shape and shedding the weight I gained during my travels. I achieved my goal thanks to Brian Wiefering's Wiefit (see Brian Wiefering's Wiefit- Where Fitness Is A Family Affair). Now that I'm back on the road, I started to see the same bad habits form of not working out and slacking on my diet.
I had one month booked in St Martin and I refused to let the road reverse all of the hard work I had put in the past six months. I tried the hotel gym, but soon realized that I couldn't kick my ass as hard as someone else could. I needed a class or a trainer to do the job. It took me two weeks of searching the Dutch side of the island for a fitness class I could settle in with.
I tried Marcy's gym in Simpson Bay- thumbs down. The gym is not air-conditioned and the equipment looks rough, possibly due to the open air setting and the salt-air hitting the equipment. Her classes weren't any that I desired to try.
I called the Bel-Air fitness club where they informed me over the phone that one single class would run me $60! As spoken best by Whitney Houston, 'Hell-to-the-NO'! I am not paying that much for one hour of fitness. I didn't even bother to look at their facility.
I tried the gym at the Royal Palm Resort in Simpson Bay. I was told there was a trainer there that held fitness classes on the beach in the mornings and at the gym in the evenings. I signed up for the evening classes due to my inability to commit to anything before 10 am. I was required to pay the monthly due to join the gym of $45 which I found fair. Then, to take the class there was an additional fee of $10. Very fair! I'm in!
Now, would the class give me the ass-whooping I needed?
The trainer, Desiree Winkel, is a Holland born former body builder with 8 years professional experience and the demeanor of a drill sergeant. She is a former 'Miss Body Fitness/Shape Curacao' and placed number 1 in the St. Martin competition for figure and bodybuilding. The classes I attended were group personal training classes….and they got the job done. My ass was thoroughly kicked!
Desiree also holds group fitness classes called Insanity (I'm scared) and Beach Body Boot Camp on Kimsha Beach. Start times are 5:30, 6:00 and 7:30am depending on the day. Her prices are the only thing I'm not scared of with a week's worth of fitness running $30, 2 weeks at $60 and a month package of 12 classes running $90. It really is the best deal to keep fit on the Dutch side.
Desiree will soon be moving her in-gym classes to her own studio location on August 20th, 2012. Classes there will run $12 and personal training will go from $20 on up. There will be no gym fee as there was at the Royal Palm Resorts. It just keeps getting better!

He will swallow up death forever! The Sovereign LORD will wipe away all tears. He will remove forever all insults and mockery against his land and people. The LORD has spoken! (Isaiah 25:8 NLT)
Adam, my two and a half year old grandson, is constantly amazing us by the things he does and says. He has a special little soft blanket that is his favorite possession. He drags it around the house and holds on to it when he goes to sleep. He always wants it in close sight. He doesnt want to give it up, even when it needs washing.
His Mommy is expecting another baby in six months, and Adam is excited about the baby. One day his Mommy got some very sad news, and she started sobbing. Adam was so upset to see her cry that he got a Kleenex and crawled up into her lap, wiped away her tears and patted her cheek. Dont cry Mommy, he said. It will be all right. When she still cried he finally said, Dont cry, Mommy. Ill give the baby my blanket.
It made me think about our precious Lord, and how He feels when He sees our tears. He tells us, Dont cry. For I will give you My blanket of love. Your tears are very precious to Me, and I have saved each teardrop that has fallen from your eyes. Some day, because your sins have been covered by My blood, I will take you to your beautiful new home in Heaven where there will be no more tears and no more sorrow. Because I love you so much you can find security and peace in My blanket of love.
How thankful I am that I have been given this security His blanket of love.
For the Lamb who stands in front of the throne will be their Shepherd. He will lead them to the springs of life-giving water. And God will wipe away all their tears. (Revelation 7:17 NLT)

boot2.bin is now kernel.bin
For Other Changes Look Here:SNEEK
Is it even possible to run priiloader hacks on sneek? I ask because I thought that sneek wouldn't work with priiloader installed. I dump my nand with priiloader, set up sneek and the hacks that I have enabled are on (ie move disc channel, block updates etc) How is this possible?
and do you guys know how to enable and disable different hacks on sneek?(which files in the nand folders on the root to edit)
just trying to figure out how this happened and expand on it
Use Multi Mod manager to ...manage priiloader
ok so i stopped using Sneek and am just running everthing of my acctual nand but when ever i try to launch bootmii my screen goe blue like the wii turned off (my tv goes blue when my wii isnt on just the way my tv is) but the power button is still green and like 5 seconds later it just starts back up like it just restarted.
make sure you got this on sd
You can create a new one by launching hackmii installer...going into install bootmii and select prepare sd...exit ..try and launch bootmii
How do you update when a new version of SNEEK comes out? Just copy the new files from the SNEEK googlecode into the correct place on the SD/USB?
delete the bootmii folder with armboo.bin and boot2.bin from sd and from usb if you have uneek
then use the installer 0.1v5 to get the new ones
Son of a EDIT :p I seriously can't get this to work with my HDD. I tried several combinations of partitions, SD cards, and go on, but it just won't work. I copied the exact some NAND dump over to my SD card, and guess what: it worked.
This really EDIT me off, because the SD card emulation is slow. Could it be that my HDD is just not compatible with UNEEK? :p

Last year there was controversy. There were accusations of cheating aimed everywhere.
The playoff-beard battle might have been the only split in the foundation of the Edmonton Oil Kings 2011-12, a tight team on and off the ice on their way to winning a WHL title.
Beards don't win you playoff games, but they can pose a special challenge for junior-aged players.
But there were some facial-fur disputes, for sure.
Rhett Rachinski wore a beard all through his final year of junior. Others called him out for that, while he used his veteran leader status to arbitrarily eliminate serious threats like Ryan Dech, with his jet-black, scrub-brush-tight curls on his head and chin.
Former captain Mark Pysyk — never a threat in the beard department — called out his pal Stephane Legault for the wet, mud-black monstrosity hanging on his lip during the month of 'Movember.'
Legault still can't dodge the 'Just for Men' bullet.
"I only Just-for-Menned it during Movember," said Legault, without a lawyer present. "I didn't Just-for-Men it in the playoffs last year, either. I'm sticking with the (natural) tinge of orange."
"You really could have used it," shouted out Mitch Moroz.
Moroz has a genetically-gifted like-father shrub, yet he is always among the accused.
"I'm always getting thrown under the bus, somehow," said Moroz. "I think they're jealous."
Injured last year, Dylan Wruck has gotten his chance to beard out in his final season. It's dark and gnarly, especially impressive on a shorter guy.
Six-foot-three Brandon Baddock has an impressive rookie beard.
"Yeah, it's one of the best on the team, I'd say," judged veteran Michael St. Croix.
But … "Some might think he's closer to 25. Fake birth certificate."
But there is a new beard in town. It's big, scary, yet naturally neat.
David Musil rocks a bad-ass beard that basically ends any debate this season.
Keegan Lowe has gotten better in each of his four years as an Oil King — his beard, not so much.
He throws it down for his blueline partner.
"Best on the team," Lowe said pointing to Musil. "That's it right there."
Even beard-master Moroz acknowledges greatness.
"Dave's got like a lion's mane going on."
Past ignored
Backs against the wall. Do or die. Win or go home.
Name your cliché, they fit for the Oil Kings, down 3-1 in the WHL final and facing the Winterhawks in Portland Friday.
It doesn't look good.
"It doesn't matter what it looks like," said Kings defenceman Cody Corbett. "We're going to come out, battle hard, we're gonna push and we're going to do our best to hopefully win."
He could have easily said the same thing about his homeboys, the Minnesota Wild in their NHL series against some other Hawks, the Chicago Blackhawks.
"We're just going to go out there and play. Have fun, play and do our thing."
"Carruth made some big saves for them and we missed some big opportunities," said Henrik Samuelsson, about Portland goalie Mac Carruth, who was even better in stopping 29 on Wednesday than he was on 39 the night before.
He's stopped 83 of 85 in the three wins after giving up four in the opener.
"Mostly guys are pretty down, but we've got to focus on the positives."
Angry words
Unfortunately for Samuelsson — playing in front his father Ulf and mother and brother — one of the negatives was a high-sticking penalty he took in the last minute, preventing a pull-the-goalie finish for the Oil Kings.
Obviously head coach Derek Laxdal wasn't happy and TV cameras caught him exchanging words with the forward as they left the ice.
"Heat of the moment, right," said Laxdal after. "I'm intense, he's intense. It's a tough penalty to take to put your team in that position and we've got to be more disciplined at the end of the game."
"I was just trying to dump the puck in. I think his stick kind of deflected off my stick and went right into my face," Hawks captain Troy Rutkowski told the Portland Orgenonian. The Edmonton native was a hero in his hometown — just not for the home team — his power-play goal being the game winner in the 2-1 game.
"I didn't know if they were going to make the call at that point in the game, but they did.''
Words you could say after almost every WHL game.

Leaders with emotional intelligence rarely possess it by accident. Their high self-awareness lets them see cause-effect relationships between their feelings and their actions.
To raise your awareness, keep daily notes of your actions—and the thoughts that led to those actions. Devote five minutes every evening to jot your reflections on key interactions: what you felt at the time, how you acted and the results.
You'll also become more aware by limiting or eliminating impulsive behavior. Instead, slow down and explore why you're feeling certain negative emotions. Search for triggers. If you're fuming, ask yourself, "What's causing me to experience such anger?"
By slowing down your response, you're more apt to regulate yourself. Emotionally intelligent leaders maintain control over their behavior even when they're frustrated.
Holding yourself accountable helps you self-regulate. By acknowledging your limitations, admitting mistakes and refraining from blaming others, you can proceed in a more deliberative manner.
You can also practice choosing how you respond to adversity. As soon as you feel a sensation of stress, decide your next move. Electing to remain calm and clearheaded works better than yelling.
Finally, articulate your non-negotiable core values and use them as your guideposts to navigate moral dilemmas. Crafting your own ethics code and honoring it when challenges arise can steer you away from poor decisions or weak-willed compromises.
— Adapted from "Emotional Intelligence in Leadership," Bruna Martinuzzi, Mind Tools.

China's Jade Rabbit moon rover made its lunar landing[1] and is sending back moon photos of the satellite.
The Jade Rabbit was carried to the moon by the Chang'e-3 rocket, which was launched on Dec. 2, and successfully achieved a soft landing on the moon. The Jade Rabbit is equipped with four cameras and can also collect soil samples. After being released from the Chang'e-3, the Jade Rabbit moved a short distance away and the two devices took pictures of one another and sent them back to officials on Earth, reports International Business Times.
The Jade Rabbit is expected to spend around three months[3] searching the moon for resources, such as uranium and titanium.
China Plans to launch the Chang'e-4 rocket, which will act as backup to the Chang'e-3, soon. The country is also looking to launch its Chang'e-5 rocket in 2017. The Chang'e-5 will have a similar mission to the Jade Rabbit and is expected to bring back samples of the moon to Earth through an unmanned crew, International Business Times notes.

Lakers-76ers Preview
It may be somewhat surprising the Los Angeles Lakers aren't in first place. It's much more stunning the Philadelphia 76ers are.
Kobe Bryant would like to change the Lakers' status soon, but improvement on the road is needed.
Bryant gets a chance to climb the NBA's all-time scoring list while trying to help the Lakers bounce back from another road defeat as they face the 76ers on Monday night.
Los Angeles (14-10) has won the Pacific Division four consecutive seasons, winning two NBA titles and making a third finals appearance in that span. Things aren't going as smoothly in 2011-12, as the Lakers are second in the division, 1 1/2 games back of the Los Angeles Clippers.
Their 3-8 road record is one of the reasons for that gap, and those struggles continued with a 96-87 loss at Utah on Saturday.
"We just have to be patient, just be calm. We've been in this situation before," Bryant said after scoring 26 points.
Los Angeles has split the first two of this season-high six-game road trip, and will have to make do without Mike Brown on Monday. The league's 2009 coach of the year was suspended one game for making contact with an official while picking up two technicals in the fourth quarter against the Jazz.
Former 76ers assistant John Kuester will coach the team in Philadelphia.
Bryant leads the NBA with 29.4 points per game, an increase of 4.1 points from last season. The All-Star guard is also 24 points shy of passing former Lakers teammate Shaquille O'Neal (28,596) for fifth on the league's all-time scoring list, and he's averaged 25.0 points in helping the Lakers win nine of the last 11 versus the 76ers (17-7).
Bryant, though, scored just nine in his last visit to Philadelphia on Dec. 17, 2010, but Los Angeles overcame that to win 93-81. He was much better at home Dec. 31, 2010, scoring 33 points to power a 102-98 win and sweep of the season series.
The Sixers, however, might be the most improved team in the NBA this season. They're the surprising leaders in the Atlantic Division after finishing .500 last season and being eliminated in five games by Miami in the opening round of the playoffs.
Philadelphia also leads the Eastern Conference with a 12-3 home record despite a 99-79 defeat there to the Heat on Friday. The 76ers regrouped a day later by winning 98-87 at Atlanta, getting their fifth victory in six overall games.
They're also proving to be very balanced offensively, and that was clear against the Hawks. Six players - five reserves - reached double-digit points with rookie backup forward-center Nikola Vucevic leading the way with a season-high 15. He averages 5.5 points.
"That's what you've got to have," center Spencer Hawes said. "That's the measure of teams that are able to thrive in this kind of setup."
Philadelphia may need Vucevic and the rest of the bench to continue contributing, as Elton Brand's status is unknown after he sat out Saturday's win with a sprained right thumb. The forward is averaging 10.1 points and 6.7 rebounds.
Hawes believes the compressed schedule due to the lockout is one reason the Sixers are getting balanced scoring. Six players are averaging at least 10.0 points, with Louis Williams leading the way at 15.1 points per game.
"This season is going to be weird like that." said Hawes, who is averaging 10.7 points and 8.5 boards. "There's going to be different guys every night."


text: Goodness me. We used to have a drum set which was fine; everyone wanted to hear themselves in the midst of a loud drummer, but we had to let another group use the drums (because we're so frigging nice) so we pitched in and bought a cajon percussion drum. I ended up using it the most. No problem except: Everyone seems to want to be LOUDER in the midst of a cajon, which cannot be heard over booming bass, loud screechy guitar and feedbacking vocals. I want to tell everyone to play quiet since we became more of a percussive band and they even tell me to play like percussion, but uh...sorry...I thought that meant for everyone? I ask the bassist to turn himself down because his active pups are more than enough to emit a presence even with the amp volume being at 3. He says no and tells me to mind my own business. I get frustrated just typing this out. I ask the guitarist to turn himself down on the amp since we mic him anyways. He says I don't know what I'm talking about and ignores me. Keyboardists understands. He controls his volume from his keyboard while the main mix stays at about 30% on the channel slider. It still is pretty audible through the mix so I have no complaints about that whatsoever. Acoustic guitarist plays too quiet even though I tell them constantly to strum according to sections of a song: quiet verse, quiet strum. Loud chorus: loud and hard (hah). Booming bridge: go nuts. But it seems like the other way around... The vocalists are the only dang ones who understand so they try to turn themselves down, but can't because of the former two annoying members otherwise they're lost in the mix. I don't know what to do or say. I mean, it's common sense. We're in a 100-people room setting and we don't need the bassist ans guitarist to go all rock and roll on us. Absolutely no band consolidation, no unity between the members. It feels like they don't listen to me because I'm younger than them and is considered "not as educated in music as them." Really? Really? Might I add the bassist just plays when he's asked to play. He doesn't practice whatsoever and thinks he's better than me. To the point where he fiddles with my Sansamp DI settings (WHICH I SPENT HOURS TRYING TO PERFECT). That got me pissed off and I lashed out at him angrily. During sound check. In front of people who were setting up for service. I don't care if it embarrassed him or not. I'm sick of stupid people like him. GAHHHHH I feel like quitting. Let them handle their own problems. I could care less now. Our worship leader was forced to step down because of family issues and the ones that took over (two of them) are way too relaxed and chill. I hate that. What do I do? What can I say to make them consider my suggestions, let alone listen?

Under their Beauty & Youth label, United Arrows has now launched in collaboration with Nintendo a collection of pouches for the DS Lite. The outcome looks really great. When you go around in gaming stores or department stores where you usually find the Nintendo DS Lite and the accessories, you will only come across really ugly, cheap pouches and bags. The collection presented by United Arrows looks as upscale as it can get. Great quality leather with suede on the interior, the style a bit like the signature style of italian leather manufacturer Bottega Veneta. Just nice!
