The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs has opened a laboratory where its student entrepreneurs can wade into the shark tank.
Instead of competing for an investment, six student teams have to show continued progress to stay in The Garage, a space that previously housed a prototyping lab in the school's engineering building that student companies can use to turn their business ideas into companies that generate revenue and profits. The six companies must give monthly progress "pitches" to persuade three faculty members to not replace them with a team with a better idea; two teams have already been replaced in the nine months The Garage has been operating.
"The key to a space like this is to co-locate companies from different industries. They have a spillover effect with the knowledge each management team has about their market, technology and customers that they could not get if they were operating somewhere else on their own," said Tom Duening, one of three UCCS faculty members from the El Pomar Institute for Innovation and Commercialization that operates The Garage. "We are a hybrid between a (startup) accelerator and a co-working space. We also bring in speakers, so it is educational in every sense, and we mentor the teams."
The Garage is open to all UCCS students, but teams must apply through the laboratory's website - garageatuccs.com - by providing details that include basic information such as name, location, date founded and number of employees, social media presence, management team members, target market, customers, product or service, competitors, current funding, past financials and projections, business plan and pitch presentation and video. Three student companies are on the waiting list to replace any of the six now in the program that fail to make adequate progress.
All participants must enroll in an independent study class with one of the three professors during which they work on developing their companies, and their grade is based on how much progress they make, Duening said. Students are not required to give the school a stake in the company, nor do they have to pay royalties on sales, he said.
The six companies are spread across a variety of industries and are in different stages of development. They include:
During their required presentations Tuesday to the faculty members - which include Duening, Terry Boult and Michael Larson - five of the six companies focused on milestones they had completed and those that remain to be completed. Bear Hands plans to make its presentation this month. Duening said SOCÜL is the closest to graduating from the program and becoming a self-sustaining company, but Peak Social Insights is already generating revenue, and Lot Spot is "close" to signing a contract with UCCS to offer the service in its two parking garages and many surface lots.
Much of the feedback Boult, Duening and Larson gave to the student entrepreneurs was aimed at helping them avoid a common difficulty many startups face - developing a solution in search of a problem - making potential customers and a large enough target market difficult to find. They also counseled several of the companies to get their products to market earlier, even if that meant introducing a product that wasn't quite perfect, and focus less on the mechanics of their technology and more on the business applications for that technology.
Two companies left the program, Aztlan Customs LLC, which was developing custom-made fishing poles, and Narativ Inc., which was developing a mobile application that would have allowed users to read, contribute to and rate sections of stories created by others. Aztlan founder Danny Morales said he put the company on hold after landing a job with another startup. Despite winning two business plan competitions, Narativ struggled to find customers and eventually shifted its storytelling efforts to the wedding industry before shutting down this year.

Justice League Movie Doomed to Die? Hooray!
by Alex Billington
January 14, 2008
I've certainly been public about my resentment of the Justice League movie previously. I don't think I'm alone here when I say that almost everything seems bad about the project (well, not the costumes). More than anything I'm on Christopher Nolan's side, where I'm worried that it will tarnish the brilliance of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. But besides that, Warner Brothers is just doing it all wrong. They're making a Teen Titans movie with different actors (and thus different characters) and butchering it to hell with the typical Hollywood bullshit. However, an internal studio deadline is coming, and from the sounds of it, Justice League may be canned entirely!
The Hollywood Insider Blog on Entertainment Weekly posted this update last week:
"The ongoing WGA strike now has Warner Bros.' superhero bonanza Justice League of America in its crosshairs. A source tells Hollywood Insider that filmmakers would like another script rewrite and are now debating whether to begin shooting without one. The studio has a Jan. 15 deadline to either greenlight League for a spring production start -- meaning a summer '09 release -- or push it into the post-strike ether."
As Devin at CHUD also confirms via his source, nothing is going well and it's likely that it may not last too long. It sounds like everyone who might know anything about the project is saying that it's one hell of a mess. If you've been following anything on Justice League, you'll know that the casting has gone through some rough times. A couple months back it seemed like there would be a new casting rumor every day, and each new actor seemed to get worse and worse. And now 24 hours from the studio deadline, we still don't have 100% official casting confirmations!
To top that off, the Writers Strike is still in full force and that means nothing can be done about the script just yet. Husband and wife writers Michele and Kieran Mulroney were originally assigned to pen the script. I would expect Warner Brothers to be smart enough not to just green light a terrible screenplay, but that's probably just a pipe dream. Now I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the worst - I'm hoping that Warner Brothers decides that this is so screwed up that they may as well just toss it in the toilet and get rid of it once and for all. At least until a real filmmaker, like Christopher Nolan, brings it up again.
Obviously if anything big happens or any announcements are made tomorrow, January 15th, we'll be the first to bring them to you. Until then, let's pose a question - does anyone think this could actually make any money if they made it as planned? Would people go see a Teen Titans-like Justice League movie full of young actors and a half-assed story?

End of 52 Years of War?
The Congress of Colombia has approved a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). It signals the formal end to over five decades of civil war, Latin America's longest insurgency.
The vote was unanimous, although members of the Democratic Center party walked out prior to voting in both the Senate and the lower house.
The peace agreement is set to see the FARC abandon its weapons and form a political party over the course of the next six months. It was signed last week by President Juan Manuel Santos and rebel leader Rodrigo Londono.

I think that it because you have to watch waht you eat and watch the label for calories. I diet but I use B-12 and it's great. I've been doing great I exercise and eat great without the calorie counting.
B-12 Does not do much for dieting. I think the main thing is being active. If you are working out you can eat a little more freely, but in the end it is all math. Calories in vs calories out. If you take more in your gonna gain, if you burn more your gonna lose. Simple as that!

I have now completed rows A through F of my "Baby Jane" quilt top. I also have the top row of triangles done. With each added block I'm more excited by this project and anxious to get it done. The triangles are my favourite to work on. They are all hand pieced on this iteration (I have three started). I mostly hand piece but a few of the easier blocks were done by machine to save time.
If you're interested in seeing the blocks up close and those not pictured here you can visit my "Dear Jane" folder to see them.
This second photo includes the triangles I've completed:
Thanks for reading.
OMG this is stunning! How long have you been working on this? It is definitively a labor of love! I don't think I would have the determination to do something as elaborate as this. It is a work of art.
This is absolutely beautiful. I love the excitement that you expressed in your blog about working on this quilt. Enjoy the journey.
Kris, this is a masterpiece in progress! You are doing a fabulous job on it.
My english is bad, but you are very good quilter. go ahaed!! uvaribes

Thanks Everyone for the kind comments. I'm really having fun with this one.
Angele, I started working on this with the DJ group in January of 2010. I left it for quite some time but got back into it, consistently, this year. I take my pieces to work and sew during down time.
Robin, I'm enjoying the journey. It makes me think of how Jane Stickle made this quilt without all the tools we have today.
I only have one word to say: WOW!!!!!
Kris you are amazing. I bow to your expertise.
LOL Thanks Nana.
Thanks Greenmonstr.
Kris, this is incredible!
Thanks Debbie-do.
Your hand piecing is absolute perfection. You are so talented. Have you given any thought to entering this in a show when you finish?
Thanks Stephanie.
I haven't thought of entering it in a juried show but our LQS has an annual show just for fun. I might enter that one.
Kris this is beautiful. Great that you have so time a work to work on it
Way to go, Kris!
Thanks Elizabeth and Nancy.

The adult version of jump rope is that good heart cardiovascular exercise, that other methods will find it hard to compete, especially when it comes to durability. Jump rope is at the heart of the cardiovascular system as some of the other activities including the current taxation for a few minutes. With an estimated average of around 600 calories per hour while jumping rope burn around 700, burn on average.
Of course, not many people have a jump rope training for hours straight, but this is just for comparison. Estimates say that the benefits of skipping rope for about ten minutes the equivalent carried out by yards in eight minutes.
In addition, the jump rope is hard on the knees than running, because the ball away a lot of the shock absorbing heel, rather than with serious effects such as those in operation. This is the reason why it is a good exercise for seniors. Jump rope training that serves as a method of conditioning of professional athletes.
The benefits of skipping rope can be realized with a cord or rope and a little persistence, without costly training or equipment. After the jump rope training habits, you will certainly find it enjoyable part of your exercise routine, which offers low prices.
Jump rope is ideal for every muscle group in the body of the paper. Every muscle is working extra hard, erect just for you to hold and tighten your muscles with each repetition. It works your upper body as you turn the rope again and again and produced burn upper body. For the quadriceps, hamstrings and calves every jump, will strengthen your muscles are stressed.
Beginner training
If you are a beginner and just jump rope training is to try to jump a bit. This is not as easy as you'd expect. Try, could You in the living areas, or in the garage, where the clock is visible. Play your favorite music to help you get started. Jump rope, while watching the clock until one minute has passed. If there is a part of the rhythm or will not start, until you can do a one minute. Don't get discouraged if you can't finish a minute at the beginning. Just do what you can and build up until you reach your goal.
The benefits of skipping rope to lose weight or to get in good condition, there will be a surplus. Most of us don't think, jump rope and fun it was from my childhood.
Anyone who has doubts about the power cord skip to change training and change the body has only to watch a professional Boxer. Attention your body with rippling muscles and almost no body fat. The most prominent on one side using a training jump rope. The train for hours at a time and jumping rope are a big part of the routine.

State and territorial health agencies are critical to our nation's ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from public health emergencies and threats. Principally, they ensure the public health of their jurisdictions through their inherent authority to protect and promote the health, safety, and general welfare of their populations. In the last decade, virtually all state and territorial health agencies have developed the robust infrastructure needed for a 24/7 posture. However, individuals, communities, and the private sector, in partnership with all levels and sectors of government including emergency management and homeland security, must concertedly participate in community and public health preparedness to ensure the public health resiliency of our nation.
A collaborative national effort in preparedness is critical and requires the clear understanding of roles and responsibilities among federal, state, local, territorial, and tribal agencies in public health preparedness. As the national nonprofit organization representing the state and territorial public health agencies of the United States, its territories, and the District of Columbia, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) recognizes the need for strong federal support for state and territorial public health preparedness to maintain and advance this hard-won public health emergency response capacity. State and territorial and local public health have repeatedly demonstrated their robust capabilities to protect the health and safety of their populations from the effects of natural and man-made disasters. Yet these capacities can degrade rapidly without the support of federal grant policies and community and business practices that foster coordinated planning and response.
The ability of a community to recover from a disaster originates in "its efforts in pre-disaster preparedness, mitigation, and recovery capacity building."1 State, territorial, and local public health leaders must work to provide the education, tools, continuous training, policies, and programs to equip their jurisdictions with critical capabilities to prevent and mitigate threats to the public's health and respond to and recover from a potential disaster. A structure and mindset dedicated to recovery should influence activities at all levels of the preparedness cycle.2
ASTHO strongly supports the continued development and adoption of federal guidance, collaboration, training, support, and resources to assist state and territorial jurisdictions in becoming more resilient communities.
Public health preparedness requires the long-term development of continuously improving public health systems that can be used to respond to all hazards. These systems are built only through flexible, sustained federal support. Federal grants such as CDC's Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) cooperative agreement and ASPR's Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) help develop emergency-ready public health departments that are flexible, adaptable, and resilient. These grants provide the needed resources to conduct exercises, develop corrective action plans, implement improvements, train the dwindling skilled workforce, and support systems for communications, biosurveillance, information sharing, and more. As these valuable funding sources are cut, state and territorial health departments are faced with tough decisions to reduce, limit, or eliminate activities required to ensure the safety of their jurisdictions. It is vital that federal funding to states and territories continue, so that a systematic approach can be taken to building preparedness across all communities and hospitals. This strategy will ensure that the necessary resources to respond quickly and collaboratively to public health emergencies are in place across the country.
Health equity is achieved when the public health and medical needs of all individuals are taken into account in the planning for, response to, and long-term recovery from of a public health emergency. Emergency situations can compromise a range of nonclinical services that are essential to many individuals' daily survival and wellbeing (e.g., low-cost meals, language interpretation, or care for service animals). The inclusion and consideration of individuals who may have disabilities, live in institutionalized settings, are from diverse cultures, have limited English proficiency or are non-English speaking, are transportation disadvantaged, have chronic medical disorders, or have pharmacological dependencies3 is vital to the resiliency of a community. It is important for public health decision makers to recognize the assets and skills of vulnerable populations and the systems, organizations, and individuals that support them.
ASTHO recognizes the critical importance of collaboration with all sectors having mission-related roles and responsibilities in protecting the public during all phases of the disaster cycle. To fully prepare, mitigate, respond, and recover, public health agencies need to establish, maintain, and enhance collaborations with emergency management, homeland security, and other relevant public agencies.
The private sector also has an important role in ensuring the preparedness and resilience of its workforce, stakeholders, and the communities where they reside. ASTHO encourages state and territorial health departments to involve private-sector representatives in all stages of preparedness planning because the private sector provides valuable resources such as human capital, critical infrastructure, data, community trust, economic stability, and other national interests. In return, ASTHO encourages the private sector to increase its investments in prevention, security, threat resilience, and collaboration with state, local, tribal, and territorial health departments.4 These collective partnerships may act as a model to help stakeholder collaboration expand to other traditional and nontraditional partners.
Federal funding to public health should include adequate resources to measure preparedness efforts through flexible, valid, and meaningful performance metrics that demonstrate progress and areas of greatest need for future development and to maintain accountability and drive improvement. CDC PHEP and ASPR HPP capabilities currently allow state and territorial health agencies to assess their level of preparedness and provide an aggregated snapshot of the nation's preparedness capabilities. Additionally, the National Health Security Preparedness Index5 is a promising development to measure health security preparedness in states. The public health community and its stakeholders must continue to guide the collaborative development, implementation, and evaluation of appropriate and consistent performance measurement tools that use relevant, actionable information to achieve a higher level of health security preparedness, support quality improvement, inform resource and policy decision making, enhance collaboration and shared responsibility, and advance the science of measuring health security preparedness.

Dr. Leon, spry as a kite.
Dr. Leon changed my life.
That may come across like some dodgy erectile dysfunction ad, but its not. Last spring Dr. Leon Mach III (not related to Gillette) approached my UCSD Surf Team with an intriguing proposal. His company, Sea State, was offering surf-based study abroad programs all around the globe. College students could sign up for 1-3 week trips where they would study, surf, explore a foreign nation, and receive college credit for the lot of it. It sounded too good to be true.
A couple months later, I was on a Singapore Airlines flight to Bali, where I would be taking a Sea State surf journalism course over the following fortnight. The free wine did little to calm my nerves.
The next 14 days very literally changed my life path. Going into my last year of college, I had no real idea of what I wanted to do with my life. I knew what I was bad at: math, science. I knew what I was good at: procrastinating, creative thinking. I knew I loved surfing, and I knew that I would love to make a living off of it, but I didn't see any direct connection to a career in the industry. All of that changed in Bali.
Matt George, teaching.
Meeting our professor Matt George, the electric, eccentric wordsmith of a man, was a major turning point. His words and wisdom inspired me to write down these crazy thoughts in my head, and to mix a little surfing in there while I'm at it. Through his teachings, I not only came to love the art of creative writing, but I also got a hell of a lot better at it. Good enough, it turns out, to be hired by Surfing Magazine.
For this reason, and for all the other memories I have from Bali, I feel a great sense of belief and pride in the people from Sea State. I also feel compelled to get my story out there in an effort to convince others to take a similar plunge, and maybe discover something along the way.
I tracked down my now-good-friend Dr. Leon, who is currently teaching in the Panamanian jungle, to get the details behind the Sea State's current and future endeavors. Here's what I found out. – Michael Ciaramella
Mt. Batur, Bali. One of our many unique "classrooms".
Surfing: What is the Sea State, in 5 words or less?
Dr. Leon: Surf trips for college credits
Surfing: What is Dr. Leon's academic background?
Dr. Leon: I have a Master's in natural resources and sustainable development and a Ph.D in Energy and Environmental Policy.
Surfing: Where did the idea for Sea State come from, and how long have you been doing this for?
Dr. Leon: I learned the most valuable things I know from chasing surf around the world. Surfing travel taught me more about international development, culture, and sustainability than any textbooks. Because I genuinely wanted to understand whether or not surf tourism was causing more harm than good for the communities it was inundating, I started conducting research on the impacts of surfing on remote coastal communities. I eventually turned that research into my dissertation after a near-decade long journey in academia. Because no one reads those, I thought the research could come to life during short-term study abroad programs to surf destinations I have fallen in love with over the years. I have been leading these trips for a little over three years now and truly hope I get to continue for as long as I can physically surf.
Surfing: What are your goals for the students?
Dr. Leon: My lofty goal is that alumni will be agents of change, driving surf culture in a thoughtful and sustainable direction. At the very least though, I hope students have the best time of their lives, get some really good waves, and develop a more holistic understanding for global interconnectivity and sustainability issues.
Surfing: What courses do you offer, and who are the professors?
Dr. Leon: Sustainable Tourism is the course that I teach and for our New Zealand program I am teaming up with Nick Towner (Professor at Auckland Institute of Technology and surf guide from New Zealand Surf Adventures) on that trip.
We have a Surf Science program in Costa Rica taught by Sean Newcomer, founder of the surf research lab out of the Kinesiology department at CSUSM.
And we also have a surf journalism course taught by really awesome people including Sam George (the legend and writing giant) in Panama, Trey Highton (Save the Waves Film Festival Director and Doctoral Candidate at UCSC) in Bali, and Margarete Seelie (Badass human and writer out of Mill College in SF) in Spain/Portugal.
New Zealin' might be chillin', but it's hard to beat Bali.
Surfing: If kids had to choose one trip in 2017, which would you recommend and why?
Dr. Leon: That's too hard to answer. But for serious surfers, I think the New Zealand trip is going to epic. Nick Towner is a professor and has been guiding there for years. Those willing to strap on a wetsuit should surely score Rags and Shipwrecks among some other lesser-known nooks.
Surfing: Funniest Sea State travel anecdote?
Dr. Leon: During our program in Panama, we were off painting and refurbishing a playground for the community in Mariato for an entire day. When we got back to our hotel, covered in paint and exhausted, the waves were unexpectedly firing out front. Sam George was the professor on this trip, and he was showering outside in his banana hammock when he noticed the surf. He just said, "Hey guys, it looks kinda great out there!" Without hesitation, he grabbed his SUP, sprinted down the bluff, and rode out the session in his Speedo. Probably the only guy to ever SUP this spot and to do so in that garb just made it hilarious, especially while observing the locals' reactions to it.
Surfing: What is your favorite thing about the trips you get to go on?
Dr. Leon: There is nothing like scoring a day of incredible surf with stoked students and then sitting down to talk about important topics over an awesome fish feast. In short, my favorite thing is just the genuine interactions with students and sharing such a unique and eye-opening experience with them.

In addition, there is the advantage that the two bands would be some symmetry between itself and it is close to add couples share.
The conclusion for the purchase of a number of specific frequency bands is based on the personal preferences of the couple. But there are a number of factors, that men and women differ in the eye. This is reflected in their selection as well as cover. Women prefer more decorative designs. The men prefer however, a wedding ring is very simple in appearance and design.

The sheer volume of information out there relating to health is increasing at a rapid pace. So, with this wealth of data such as doctor's letters, surgical reports, results, and various other information (such as that from smartwatches) available, it is possible to highlight interdependencies or probabilities of illnesses even more accurately than ever before. In the future, CognitiveAssist will play an active role in helping doctors when it comes to making decisions (with regard to diagnoses, treatment, and medication). So how exactly does it work? The doctor starts by populating the system with all relevant basic information (such as symptoms and other associated factors). CognitiveAssist then reconciles this with the latest findings and research results, clinical studies, articles from medical journals, and other data. Once complete, our solution creates a list of potential diagnoses along with an estimate of how reliable these hypotheses actually are. CognitiveAssist combines self-learning systems (AI), huge quantities of data (big data), patient needs, and terabyte after terabyte of patient data into a single cognitive system. This makes it possible to create an individual therapy plan for each patient and significantly reduce the number of potential errors in terms of medication and treatment.

Sunday Discussion: Does an R-Rating Finally Mean Success?!
by Alex Billington
August 17, 2008
Source: Hollywood Reporter, Movie Marketing Madness
There is an article that I've wanted to discuss for a few weeks now, and with Tropic Thunder performing fairly well this weekend (with a $26 million weekend total and the #1 spot), I thought this would be the right time to tackle it. The article is titled "R ratings might help comedies" and is written by Carl DiOrio of Hollywood Reporter as originally pointed out by Chris Thilk at Movie Marketing Madness. I think both of these articles present a very interesting outlook on the progressing state of cinema. In the past, R-ratings were always looked at as a bad thing for films that were trying to be mainstream successes (e.g. make a lot of money at the box office). However, I think that idea has changed entirely, and now R-ratings are potentially helpful in guaranteeing the success of certain types of films like comedies. It's an interesting flip flop and I love how we've grown to this point as moviegoers because it's entirely up to us.
Chris Thilk really puts this whole discussion into perspective with this statement: "These movies would still be more successful if they were toned down and rated PG-13 since more people would be able to get in to see it. That much is just a no-brainer." Is it really? I hate to always argue with some of Chris' statements, but just because some trend was established years ago doesn't mean it won't change over time. And obviously we (as moviegoers) have progressed. The Hollywood Reporter article is generally more of a report from a Fandango poll that showed that moviegoers were more interested in R-rated comedies like Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder. Extending into the past, it was Wedding Crashers in 2005 and Superbad in 2007 that first started to show that an R-rating was not a bad thing like most blindly believe.
Addressing Chris' article and the Fandango results, Chris states that: "My guess would be that Fandango's users tend to skew younger and more male than the general population." I think it's a bit crazy to completely throw out speculation like this from Fandango just because the demographic is not the entire population. Which is why I'm bringing up this discussion today anyway, because I do think R-ratings, for particular films, are starting to interest more people than always deter them. Here are two great examples on both sides of the equation. The Dark Knight would definitely not have done as well as it's doing if it was rated R, but I really felt like it tested the edges of the PG-13 rating anyway. However, I think Watchmen is going to perform much better by being an R-rated movie true to the story in the graphic novel than being edited down to PG-13 to be made "more accessible."
Obviously if you simply compare something like The Dark Knight and its PG-13 rating and ~$500 million box office total versus something like Superbad's $121 million box office, the PG-13 rated film prevails. Unintelligent logic would say that obviously the rating was a factor, which it is, but that doesn't mean something like Watchmen should immediately be pushed to PG-13. In fact, I would argue that if Warner Brothers were to make it PG-13, it would perform worse than I think it's going to this March by being R. I'll obviously be talking about this more again next year, but for now it's my very educated guess based on all of the hype. Maybe box office earnings aren't even what I'm trying to discuss here anyway. I know that Hollywood only really cares about money, but the moviegoing public also cares about quality - and it's more the quality of The Dark Knight that made it so much money than its rating.
What I am wondering is whether this R-rated interested will ever extended beyond comedies and the occasional comic book movie. From last year, Oscar interest in No Country for Old Men eventually earned that R-rated film $74 million total, but that's not an amount that would change the way Hollywood works. And looking at the list of the top R-rated films, it's obvious that no R-rated movie will ever reach the levels of The Dark Knight (even though Passion of the Christ came very close). But as I mentioned earlier, the goal of making the most money is not the only part of this discussion. And I honestly think Watchmen could be on its way to earning a spot in that top 10 just as 300 did last year, more proof that the rating is helping it. In combination with Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder this year so far, it finally is starting to look like it's more than just a series of anomalies. Does an R-rating mean more success?

Obscene cuts
Thursday 31 March 2011
The current Federal budget negotiations make me sick. The new Congress started out by talking about the corrosive nature of the deficit, and the need to cut spending as a way to combat it. But now they seem focused purely on cutting for the sake of cutting.
In the early days of this Congress, jobs seemed to be a big concern. In fact, they were the main reason claimed for the attempt to repeal the health care bill, they were even mentioned in the title of the legislation. But now that the Republicans have turned their attention to "big government", they tell us that 700,000 jobs lost is a small price to pay.
Republicans' real priorities were made clear in their early rule change that said laws have to state their effect on the deficit, unless the law is a tax cut. There's no better demonstration of the choice they would make: between reducing the deficit and cutting taxes, they'll cut taxes. That isn't fiscal responsibility, it's shameless pandering, and it's part of the reason we have the deficit we do.
So now Washington is negotiating budget cuts, and it's disgraceful the things being considered, like funding for homeless veterans. Social programs will be prime targets, not because they contribute significantly to the deficit, but because Republicans don't like them in the first place. Again, the deficit is not the top-of-mind issue here.
Republicans, and especially the Tea Partiers who are now holding them hostage, like to decry spending. But spending in and of itself is not a bad thing. Over-spending is a bad thing, because it leads to deficits and out-of-control debt. But there are two ways to control the deficit and Congress is artificially tying one hand behind their back as they battle the deficit monster.
Reducing the deficit will be really hard, and any solution will involve new real pain. When I look at the budget cuts being proposed, it's clear that all the proposed new pain will be felt by the lessers in society. The Republicans will cut social programs, or they'll try to dent Social Security. Some teachers will lose their jobs, unions will be hobbled, and so on.
Here's my question: what new pain will the well-to-do feel to reduce the deficit? How will those among us with the most make a new contribution to solve this serious problem? I suspect the Republicans won't come up with a way. That's just wrong: if you have resources, you should help. That's part of what it means to be a community of citizens: when your country has a problem, you help how you can.
Of course there's an obvious answer: the well-to-do can contribute revenue. If Congress can consider cutting services that go to those with the least, they can certainly consider increasing taxes on those with the most. Politicians that claim they can't are nothing but dishonest cowards, and they should be ashamed of themselves.

He's an artist with a style unlike anyone else, and after years of traveling the world, Vinx is set to make his return to Los Angeles this week for two special live performances.
Pat Prescott had a chance to sit down with Vinx and catch up on what he's been up to in anticipation of his L.A. shows.
Loyal fans know that Vinx's live performances are an event not to miss. Mixing his dynamic voice with the driving rhythms of drums, Vinx creates an intimate atmosphere on stage that makes the audience feel his music, not just hear it.
"I think that's our job as an artist, is to be communicators and to have an intimate conversation," Vinx told Pat. "I like touching people as opposed to amazing them or exciting them…for me a room of silence is a compliment to me."

Just blowing off some steam...
I guess the whole point of this post has been mostly to just blow off some steam and to get some perspective on where I'm leaning on things. I am grateful to be alive and to have my husband and our two dogs...I just need to figure out how to make more of life.

My sister in law is also a military wife and is bipolar. She definitely finds comfort in her dogs, but battles on a daily basis with her own identity. I think you need to find your own identity, you are so much more than a military wife. This blog is a start in the right direction and can be such a great outlet for your frustrations. That is why I started my blog. I don't know where you guys are stationed, but can I suggest yoga? Yeah yeah i know your thinking no way, but hear me out. Yoga can help you in discovering your spirituality and it can help with you regulating your mood. I started taking it a little over a year ago and it has helped me find balance and clarity. I feel better mentally and physically. Hope this finds you well and feel free to email me. Better times are ahead for sure :)

Some sight to see
Sat., May 24, 2008
As the Spokane River roared by him, 3-year-old Liam Dunkin tried to quantify the rushing water.
"Big, big water," he said, raising his left arm high in the air.
It was something his family said they couldn't miss: With a large snowpack and unseasonably high temperatures several days ago, the river is flowing fast and heavy, making the Spokane Falls a breathtaking sight.
"Absolutely gorgeous," said Carrie Arnold, of Spokane. Arnold plans to send photos to family in Lake Havasu, Ariz., with the message "You guys should be here."
"As long as I'm safe, it's great," she said.
She's not alone. Safety concerns over the heavy spray prompted city officials to close the southern extension of the Riverfront Park suspension bridge late Thursday.
That afternoon, dozens stood by the blocked bridge entrance, snapping photos and shooting video of what looks to be the sixth highest flow in the river since measurements began in 1891.
More than 300,000 gallons each second were passing a gauge downstream of the Monroe Street Bridge Friday afternoon, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
That's enough water to fill the Spokane Convention Center in about 1 minute, 15 seconds.
"You see this and it makes you realize why the town grew up around it," said Eric Grunwald, of Boston.
A Spokane native, Grunwald joined his mother, Jackie Martin, and her husband, Dick, at the lower falls in the afternoon.
It didn't take long to get soaked â water splashed off rocks and over the railing as Grunwald walked by, drenching his lower back and right leg.

The History
When in the year 1880, North Bengal had still not witnessed the pangs of civilization and it was a mere 'jungle', with swamps and marshes here and there, the expansion of the Jute Industry suddenly offered the place a new identity. Rapid industrialization had occurred, factories were established and large number of people gathered near the area in the hope of work and a better living. All was well and life was good until 1920's.
The workers of the factories were the ones who migrated from the adjoining states in search of work in the then Capital of India: Kolkata. However, the continual influx of the migrant labourers had led to the insolvable issue of increased population. The result had been the stagnation of employment. Bengal suffered the same fate that Europe did after the Enclosure Movement. The Enclosure Movement gave Europe her new dawn: Industrial Revolution. But the pangs of poverty, ruthless exploitation had been monumental- that had been the epitaph of the Industrial Revolution.
Bengal suffered the same fate and till date has been suffering nothing dissimilar. Within the city, that is currently marked by high rising buildings, shopping malls and an aura of development, there echoes the voice and the presence of another Kolkata, that is infested with immigrant labourers. Lured by the promise of 'high wage' and better living, the migrants have shifted their base to this city. These unsettled settlers who earn a daily wage to sustain their livelihood are the migrant labourers. They are the face of the 'other' Kolkata.
The present scenario is alarming with the 'bastis' or slums shuffled all over in the major Industrial areas and by lanes of this city. Bad housing conditions with little ventilation, open drains and public toilets add a hellish ambiance to the poverty stricken life of these labourers.
Bengal Scenario: Past
In Bengal alone, at the beginning of the century, no less than a million migrants appeared from the nearby states. Calcutta's Jute industry was partly responsible for this. Rather than employing the locals, labourers were imported from Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, and Bihar. Even now the pattern of migration is in vogue owing to the various constructions, real estate projects, etc. Currently, in the Construction sites, it bhatas, several large, small industries, these migrant labourers work, who have left their dear homelands and migrated to Kolkata in search of basic amenities of life. Back home, some were unable to get enough land to cultivate and many jobless and even many were lured by the dream of a better life. Enticed by the dreams of city life and a regular income, they started working as labours in the city of Kolkata. Most of them are casual construction site workers and a lot-the rag pickers. Lack of employment opportunities in rural areas has led to the flu like migration. From the less agriculturally developed states like Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan there has been a noted, shifting to the Green Revolution faced area -West Bengal.
Bengal Scenario: Present
Ansar Ali, is one such migrant labour among many who have his roots planted firmly at Saran in Bihar. He is currently residing at Rajabazar, where busy morning chores and dingy environment has very little to cheer these uprooted souls. An Urdu speaking Muslim by birth, Ansar arrived at Kolkata in the late eighties. Kolkata gifted him a reliable source of regular employment, a new language to speak-Bengali and saved him from those tormenting days of starvation back home. He earns 100-140 Rs a day at times when the season is peak for the construction site labours. Spending his twenty years of life in this city, he is an old soldier in the labour,race now, who is experienced with the tidbits of labour life. Ansar admits, he has not witnessed the birth of his sons or the death of his wife. His sons hardly know their father; let alone remember him. To them, he is the bread earner, the father that sacrificed his twenty years only to procure daily food to them.
Sitting in his room in the faint light that forces itself from the thatched roof, Ansar retorts that the main problem here is housing. Water supply, sanitation, sewerage and electricity are the major problems that he and his clan faces. An illiterate by circumstantial pangs, Ansar is hardly aware of the labour laws or the Fundamental Rights. Yet he knows about the 'Netas' who visit their gullies before the Vote Pujas, promise the clan a better sewage condition, regular water supply and is seen no more after the voting procedure ends and the promises mingle and vanish with the thin plume of dust triggered by the Neta babus car's wheels; never to be seen anymore until the next elections.
Beside Ansar's house, there resides Urmi, a co-immigrant and currently a labour. She is a 14 year old who has already borne the burdens of sexual assault, child labour and temporary sex trade. A product of inadequate nutrition, Urmi is unaware of a 'normal' life. She fled to Titagarh from her native Uttar Pradesh and fell a prey to the notorious body of the sex trade. How she fled from there and finally housed herself to a resident of Salt Lake who not only used her economically by making her a full time house maid, but even sexually exploited her adolescent body: is but a long story. Even the most conscientious expert at the Child Welfare would know, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Urmi is a daily earner now and works at the much famed construction site that is all set to emerge as one of the cosmopolitan pullers: a shopping mall. Urmi is unaware of the concept of shopping malls. Yet in her yellow Salwar and braided plaits she informs of her new found happiness: a stable income and a boyfriend whom she met at the construction site, another immigrant from Bihar.
Last Words
In spite of numerous thought evoking write ups and food for thought about these less privileged folks, very less has been done for them. At times it is indeed painstaking, even to imagine a Kolkata where high-rise's and slums juxtapose reinstating the factor of haves and have not's, privileged and unprivileged. But this is the bitter truth about the city of joy; the hard core reality that we love to carefully avoid and even overlook at times. The country that boasts of the Right to Education as a Fundamental Right and where every child between the age of 6-14 is to be provided free and compulsory education; it is indeed scary and intimidating to hear stories such as the one of Urmi. Even questions linger about the true nature of success of the 'The 'Sarba Shiksha Avijaan', the Labour Laws, and the Child protection Rights. Little amounts of sensitivity, effort and a helping positive approach towards their problematised conditions and struggle for existence can go a long way. Let's hope, down the line of approaching times, next Diwali or Id brings true happiness and hope for Anwar, Urmi and the rest gifting them 'concern' from those in power.

Alexander Calder is famous for inventing the mobile, a type of kinetic sculpture constructed to take advantage of the principle of equilibrium. Google featured a hanging mobile as the new doodle on its search engine home page. Visitors can rotate the mobile using the mouse. More over unlike any other interactive doodles, doodle for Alexander Calder shows its shadow below the search column.
According to Wikipedia, Alexander "Sandy" Calder was born in Lawnton, Pennsylvania, on Jul 22, 1898. His father, Alexander Stirling Calder, was a well-known sculptor who created many public installations, a majority of them in Philadelphia.
The sculptor Alexander Calder is well known for his mobiles. Calder invented the mobile in 1931. Marcel Duchamp suggested the name "mobile". Mobiles are also popular in the nursery, where they hang over cribs to give infants something to entertain them and give them external visual stimulation.
Mobile consists of a number of rods, from which weighted objects or further rods hang. The objects hanging from the rods balance each other, so that the rods remain more or less horizontal. Each rod hangs from only one string, which gives it freedom to rotate about the string.
Technology giant Google never misses a chance to feature Doodles on its search engine homepage globally and locally. The interactive and beautifully designed Google Doodles remind us about special days and life of great artists and scientists.

windows 7 RC 7100
Still remains open as far as I can tell
This issue still remains open at least with some Acer machines. I'm responding to your frustration as well because for some of us, this does continue to be an issue.
Like many other posters, I have hidden the SP1 update from trying to install but so far I haven't learned of a solution. A random guess is that there's something on the Acer hidden partition conflicting/not allowing the SP1 update to complete.
Sidebar: I'm looking at this thread title and speaking for myself, the boot failure was never really an issue for me. The issue was that W7 returned my Acer back to a pre-installed SP1 condition.
I'm gonna give it another try in a few months. Presently, it's not an issue. Down the road that may not be the case.

Same here for my friend. It wasn't even an Acer.I had other issues personally, the c(buncha zero's)34 error fatal error @ installing update #218 of 10,000,000 or whatever. Had to restore to factory & install SP1 offline.
RANT ON: Seems like an inordinate # of people had issues with this SP, but then again I haven't installed an SP since XP SP2, I usually just slipstream. which wasn't an option with 7 SP1 (OEM version, Micro$oft does not "officially" support slipstreaming) Heaven forbid it if M$ or the OEM's lose out on the 20 bucks for an integrated DVD.

Just wanted to tell of a possible solution for those still suffering from this issue.....
("IF" you have or are able to borrow a copy of Windows 7)
when the system fails to boot after service pack 1, insert the windows 7 disc and follow the motions is if to do a new install (without format!) when you reach the part asking to chose your drive, cancel this installation, remove the disc and allow to boot as normal
all being well the windows 7 disc will have reset the boot record and important files and you should be able to boot your system
(there is no guarantee this will work, however it does work for similar issues in vista)

A friend bought an Acer today. Set it up for him. Did the auto updates for Win 7. Tried to install ZoneAlarm and had problems. Got a pop up that said I needed to install SP1 and gave a ZoneLabs link for /Vista. Contacted ZL Tech Support and got no help. Just did a search and found this at Can't install firewall in Windows 7 computer - asks for Vista SP1 update - ZoneAlarm User Community :
Try this Solution..
Please download ZoneAlarm Free, make sure to save it to your Desktop and not run it.
1.) Download the Latest ZAFree installer preferably with IE Browser and (no Download Manager/accelerator like Get-Right, Livewire, Bit-Torrent, uTorrent) and save it to your Hard drive.
Click Here ==> ZoneAlarm free Firewall updates
Once done, right-click the installer, then click properties, and then click the compatibility tab.
Make sure that nothing is checked, and make sure that Windows Vista is not chosen.
Once done, click the apply button, click ok, and then install ZoneAlarm Free again by clicking on the installer saved on your desktop...
