Rx Bandits
Upcoming Events with Rx Bandits
No Upcoming Events
Following various lineup changes over the years, RX Bandits included vocalist/guitarist Matt Embree, keyboardist Steve Choi, bassist Joseph Troy, drummer Chris Tsagakis, and a horn section of trombonist Chris Sheets and saxophonist Steve Borth by the early 2000s. Emerging in 1997 from Orange County's thriving ska-punk scene, the band quickly began to make a name for itself as a unit willing to take musical risks and lyrical stances. Most of this was due to Embree, whose songwriting continued to evolve in a more progressive direction even as RX Bandits grew to its eventual complement of six. After generating a strong buzz in the Anaheim area, the Bandits signed with SoCal punk-pop powerhouse Drive Thru and issued their official debut in 1999. Halfway Between Here & There was typical ska-punk with a decided pop edge, but 2001's ambitiously named Progress did mess with the sound's traditional precepts a bit. It certainly showed the Bandits as willing to use the horn section in adventurous ways. The band continued to build their national following, appearing on the Warped Tour and playing club gigs of their own. In 2002, Embree started the record label Mash Down Babylon (MDB) Records, which emphasized the band's role in a larger musical community. With July 2003's Resignation (issued through Drive-Thru's upstream agreement with MCA), RX Bandits took their progressive sound to another level entirely, excising much of the ska in favor of moodier reggae and raw, near post-hardcore screeds. It was also a platform for Embree's views on society and politics. That September, RX Bandits headed out with Something Corporate for a two-month club tour. Summer 2006 found the band on nationwide headlining dates, leading up to the fall release of their next album, ...And the Battle Begun, on MDB. Borth also exited the group.

Nursing is one of the oldest medical occupations, but nurses only obtained professional status in the late 1800s. Nursing attendants are mentioned in all the classical texts, but could have been anyone, male or female. Male nurses were constantly used for public duties such as in prisons, asylums or the armed forces, but their history is little known.
Women's opportunities for nursing outside the home were limited. In medieval Europe nuns nursed in convent infirmaries under the control of Catholic church authorities. In Europe religious nursing orders such as the famous Augustinian Sisters were the only model for public nursing until the 1800s.
Changes in nursing started with the hospital and prison reformers of the late 1700s. New training for nurses became available, notably at the Deaconess Institute at Kaiserworth in Germany (1836), which influenced Florence Nightingale. Nightingale reorganised army hospital nursing during the Crimean War (1853-56) and helped promote nursing as a more respectable profession for young women. The first 'Nightingale nurses' began training in 1860 and spread throughout the UK and the British Empire. Nightingale also revolutionised future hospital design.
Established in 1863, the International Red Cross was another international force in nurse training. European governments set up their own training programmes and the International Red Cross carried reformed nursing across the world. Professional organisations followed fast in the late 1800s. By 1930 professional nursing associations existed in 35 countries. In England the Royal College of Nursing was founded in 1916, but professional control was not given to the General Nursing Council until 1919. After the First World War, in which nurses served on the front line, a State Nursing Registry was set up which guaranteed a minimum level of training for all nurses.
Since 1945 nurse training has been extended with different specialities. There has been a rise in male nursing, and male nurses play a full part in previously all-female nursing associations.

Sobre Steven Halpern
New Age pioneer Steve Halpern was among the first musicians in the mid-'70s to delve into the notions of "healing music" that eventually came to typify the New Age movement. A multi-instrumentalist, Halpern explored ancient and sacred music of the Far East, became something of an expert on the actual effects music has on the human body, and has released over 50 albums of both instrumental music and guided meditation. At his best, Halpern creates deliberate, cloud-like pieces that make heavy use of synthesizers and wind instruments. Because of a true intent to relieve stress and inspire emotional healing through his music, backed up by his years of research on the matter, Halpern stands as a genuine article in a scene that is all too often clogged with half-baked "mystics" and ultimately superficial ideas.

You better eat this quick!
From time to time the nice people over at Lucky Leaf as me if I am interested in some samples of their products and some recipes. Of course I say yes. The only problem is, with my long lists of things I want to make some times it take me a while to actually getting around to using those items. This past month i finally got the chance to make a recipe using Cherry Pie Filling sent from Lucky Leaf. I did not want to make a pie to I searched their website for other recipes. I finally decided on a Cherry Coffee Cake and it was delicious! There was one little issue with this recipe though. I made it on a Tuesday evening hoping Zack could take it to work the next day to share with his co-workers. The cake was great out of the oven when Zack and I had a little taste, but my the next morning it was really soggy from all the moisture in the pie filling. So the take away here, still make this because it is delicious and easy, just plan on eating it fresh and not waiting until the next day.
I also wanted to let you guys know that the Lucky Leaf Made with Love Recipe Contest is underway. The grand prize of the contest wins $4,000. More information on the contest, as well as rules and regulations, can be found here:http://www.luckyleaf.com/
Cherry Almond Coffee Cake
recipe adapted from Lucky Leaf
1 (18 oz.) package yellow cake mix, divided
2/3 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 (21 oz.) can Lucky Leaf Cherry Pie Filling
1/3 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
Preheat over to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Stir together 1 1/2 cups cake mix, 2/3 cup milk, eggs, vanilla and almond extracts. Pour into a greased 13x9 baking pan. Top with pie filling. Cut butter into remaining cake mix. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over pie filling. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool in pan on wire rack. Drizzle glaze over cake when it is mostly cooled.
Cream Cheese Glaze
recipe adapted from Smitten Kitchen
3 oz. cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons powdered sugar, plus extra if needed
2 tablespoons milk, plus extra if needed
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and light. Add milk, vanilla, and almond extract. You want the mixture to me the consistency of corn syrup, pourable, but not too thick. Add milk/sugar until you reach desired consistency.

Should Operating Systems Be Intuitive?
Sep 24, 2009 4:00 AM PT
It's been a busy week in the Linux community, what with all the activities going on over the past few days.
Software Freedom Day, the Atlanta Linux Fest and the FSF's mini-summit on women in FOSS all took place last Saturday, and then LinuxCon started in Portland just two days later. Not to mention Russia's newly declared official holiday the week before: Programmer's Day!
This is definitely a much busier social calendar than Linux Girl is used to.
Interesting news and discussions have emerged on virtually all fronts, too, including the still-raging inferno of a debate over sexism in FOSS, word that Ubuntu 10.04 will be called "Lucid Lynx," and some pointed words about the Linux Foundation's first-ever LinuxCon.
Keep that caffeine coming!
'It's All Learned'
Despite all the action going on in the bricks-and-mortar world, however, Linux bloggers haven't been too busy to engage in discussions of a more theoretical kind.
Case in point: Carla Schroder's recent post on Linux Today contemplating the question of intuitiveness in computers.
"'Intuitive' has nothing to do with computers," Schroder wrote. "It's all learned."
Referring to the legions of Windows users switching over to Linux, she added, "our mission, for those who choose to accept it, is to understand that de-programming these proprietary refugees is Job One.
"Somehow we must communicate that some actual study and learning are required for all platforms and devices, and that whining and wailing in despair don't accomplish much."
'Limited Task-Set Mouse Clickers'
Nearly 20 comments had greeted Schroder's post by Wednesday on Linux Today, in addition to another 14 or so more on LXer.
"You nailed it," wrote techiem2 on LXer, for example. "All these silly people who have been told over and over and over that they shouldn't have to think or learn in order to use technology. *sigh*"
Similarly: "Today's average home computer (and many workforce computer users) are not users...they are limited task-set mouse clickers," agreed helios. "If only they knew the power at their literal fingertips."
'Nothing Is Intuitive'
Given the frequency with which the term "intuitive" is bandied about in the computing context -- particularly from the halls of Redmond and Cupertino -- it seemed to Linux Girl that this question was an important one.
Should computers be intuitive, requiring little to no learning or thinking? For that matter, is it even possible for them to be so? Linux Girl couldn't resist asking around.
"Nothing is intuitive," Montreal consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack told LinuxInsider. "Think about it: We have to be taught to use a toilet, how to use a fork and how to drive. Why do we expect computers to be some magic thing that does not have a learning curve?"
The best we can do is keep things "following the same rules as much as possible so that people can extrapolate how new tasks are done and so people don't constantly have to relearn existing tasks," Mack added.
'Electrons Are Not Intuitive'
"There is nothing 'intuitive' about computers," blogger Robert Pogson agreed. "They are abstract machines with few moving parts. Electrons are not intuitive."
We can try to create more human interfaces with the desktop metaphor, but it is never intuitive, Pogson told LinuxInsider.
"Why would anyone click on an 'X' in the corner of a rectangular region to stop a process and close the region? That can never be intuitive because we do not think like machines," he explained. "We absorb information with our senses and interact with the world with our muscles. Thought is not at all like computing.
"People learn as children do," he added. "They start with hand-eye coordination and advance to abstract thinking. It takes time and effort."
'No Bloat Will Make the GUI Intuitive'
Providing the world with "PCs running that other OS and promoting it as intuitive has been one of the greatest disservices ever done in the name of IT," Pogson added. "We now have hundreds of millions of people convinced they need to fear links in emails, and that they need to buy software to protect their PCs from malware, when it is the OS they are using with its intuitive/user-friendly interface that is friendly to malware."
In short, "no amount of bloat, features or nomenclature will make the GUI intuitive," Pogson concluded. "Eventually, our computers might be robots and we will be able to use our social skills on them, but that is not happening today on PCs."
'I Don't Think Study Should Be Required'
On the other hand, "I don't see why they can't be intuitive," Slashdot blogger drinkypoo told LinuxInsider. "I don't think that study and learning should be required for consumer-oriented platforms."
While personal computers "have certainly gone in that direction, even-more-personal computers like cellular telephones are always reaching towards a simpler, more apprehendable interface," drinkypoo noted. "Even Intel's Moblin makes substantial strides in this direction."
Devices like the Kindle, however, are an ever better example, he asserted.
"There's no particular reason that the Kindle couldn't be the next application delivery platform which would require *no learning* to use," drinkypoo asserted. "In fact, it is relatively simple to run arbitrary programs on the system.
"If there's any reason these programs couldn't or shouldn't be intuitive, I sure don't know what it is," he concluded.
'Humans Dislike Change'
The problem with intuition is that "there is no general definition of what is intuitive 'to the masses,'" Slashdot blogger Josh Ulmer told LinuxInsider.
"Why do younger people tend to pick up new technologies faster than older people -- the classic VCR programming quip?" he noted. "Because they don't have any predefined expectations as to what the technology should do, or how it should work, or how they should interact with it."
While Linux Today's Schroder "has a point," he added, "the biggest reason people remain in any given situation, be it an OS or an apartment, is comfort. It is important for Linux proponents and developers to recognize that humans tend to innately dislike change."
The feeling of "intuition" that comes from "the latest and greatest in Redmond or Cupertino is the result of a natural evolution from an established system," Ulmer explained. "It's easier to use from an individual perspective because all of the basic concepts are already trained."
'That Means No CLI'
Indeed, the problem with the "intuitive" label "is that folks seem to miss the forest for the trees," Slashdot blogger hairyfeet told LinuxInsider. "The basic desktop, be it Windows, OSX, Gnome or KDE, all follow pretty much the same conventions on the surface," but that paradigm "falls apart" when something goes wrong.
"No matter how much sugar you put on top, as long as Joe User has to go CLI at the slightest glitch, it just ain't gonna sell," he explained. "If you really want to make this a three-way race between Windows, OSX and Linux, then the user HAS TO come before all. That means simple-to-understand GUIs, that means NO CLI."
Just the Nipple?
It was once said that "'the only 'intuitive' interface is the nipple -- after that, it's all learned,'" said Slashdot blogger David Masover.
On the other hand, "I'd suggest that anyone who is a pediatrician or has otherwise observed a new mother trying to teach her baby how to breast feed would classify the 'nipple as intuitive interface' line as not only an unquestioned assumption, but also one that's wrong," countered value_added in a recent Slashdot discussion. "Put simply, the nipple is a familiar interface. The familiarity happens very early, and there's a wealth of factors that motivate it, but still it's something that's learned."
When people say "intuitive," they tend to mean one of two things: "discoverable or familiar," Masover told LinuxInsider.
Discoverable vs. Familiar
"'Discoverable' has to do with how easy it is to learn an interface, especially without training," he explained. "For example, GUIs are more discoverable than the command line because you can usually see what options are available at a glance. Then you can click one of them to see more options."
A command line, on the other hand, "requires you to know which command you wanted ahead of time, and then to read the documentation on that command," he added.
"Familiar," meanwhile, "is how similar an interface is to other interfaces you've used," Masover noted. "It helps make an interface discoverable. For example, ctrl+i for italic is discoverable in OpenOffice Writer, and familiar, and often seen as 'intuitive'. I would argue this is mostly because that's how Word does it."
What Would Windows Do?
That's all "good and useful," he added, "but it's also dangerous -- sometimes there truly is a better interface out there, but it's seen as 'less intuitive' because it's not how Windows works."
Regarding package managers, for instance, "the Windows way is far less secure than a good package manager, and Linux would be worse off if it tried to be like Windows here," he said. "Yet people who don't understand package managers will wonder why they can't just download an EXE."
Computer technology can be easy to use, but it might not be intuitive, and it "certainly won't always be discoverable," Masover added.
An Impossible Dream
So, can any interface be intuitive -- that is, discoverable, familiar and easy to use for everyone?
"I don't think so," Masover asserted. "But it's still worth thinking about the tradeoffs involved. It's worth having 'intuitive' as a goal, even if it's impossible."
Providing alternative ways to do something is a step in the right direction, he suggested, as is making an interface customizable -- though that "had better be both powerful and idiot-proof."
In short, "the ideal interface would leverage as much as possible of what most people already know (make it like Windows), be as simple as possible (but no simpler), expose as much functionality as possible to those who know where to look, and be infinitely customizable by the end-user but impossible to accidentally screw up," he concluded. "This is why we have Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) specialists."
Three Audiences
Companies should not spend time "trying to determine what the average values of intuition are and applying them to their new project," Ulmer said. "Mac fans will forever compare Windows' newest features to something that already exists in their own environment, your 'average' Windows user is terrified of the command line, and I for one miss the grizzled hobbyist who made Linux a fun toy years ago.
"I don't know if it's possible to appease all three groups with the same software," Ulmer concluded. "I for one would much rather have something that excels at being easy to use for one group than diluted for everyone."

Harken Captive Reel winches represent a leap forward in captive winch design. The result of years of intense development at Harken Italy's dedicated facility, captive winches are offered with pulling loads of 1.5 to 25 tons, with larger models currently under development. Winches are driven by a sealed inner motor gearbox, and are modular in construction for easy maintenance and service. Drum lengths vary to fit individual project requirements. Before shipping, captives and tensioners are run at full load hydraulically and electrically. The winch frame and drum are 6061 hardcoat-anodized aluminum with carbon-fiber gear cover to reduce weight. The feeder screw nut is made of aluminum and self-lubricating composite. Captives are driven by industrial-sealed hydraulic motors. Winches 6T and up are offered with variable-speed motors; 1.5T and 3T with fixed-displacement motors; custom solutions for higher loads are available. The synchronized transmission uses two gear sets (four gears) to drive the twin feeder screws. To change line diameter, the gear sets must be replaced. The feeder transmission's twin feeder screws balance the load on the feeder, allowing line to lie smoothly on the drum—even when slack. The double-screw design positions the screws close to the drum, reducing winch size over similarly configured winches. Two inner magnetic switches are set at the feeder's active stroke limits to prevent overtravel. Two outer fail-safe limit switches automatically engage the brake. All parts connected to hydraulic or electrical circuitry are positioned on the same side for maintenance. The screw bearings and gear transmission are also located on this side for easy inspection. Bearings are sealed and lubricated with grease. The main gearbox is sealed and lubricated with oil. Product not stocked. Contact Harken to request quote and lead time.

Going the IPO route is a big step for many companies, and it involves processes and procedures that are quite different from other transaction models. Before listing on a public exchange, executives should ask themselves several key questions.
BCG can help prepare a company for an IPO by conducting a readiness check that can uncover the strengths and weaknesses of the IPO strategy.

I'm currently engaged in a legal disagreement with the Associated Press, which claims that Drudge Retort users linking to its stories are violating its copyright and committing "'hot news' misappropriation under New York state law." An AP attorney filed six Digital Millenium Copyright Act takedown requests this week demanding the removal of blog entries and another for a user comment.
The Retort is a community site comparable in function to Digg, Reddit and Mixx. The 8,500 users of the site contribute blog entries of their own authorship and links to interesting news articles on the web, which appear immediately on the site. None of the six entries challenged by AP, which include two that I posted myself, contains the full text of an AP story or anything close to it. They reproduce short excerpts of the articles -- ranging in length from 33 to 79 words -- and five of the six have a user-created headline.
Here's one of the six disputed blog entries:
Clinton Expects Race to End Next Week
Hillary Rodham Clinton says she expects her marathon Democratic race against Barack Obama to be resolved next week, as superdelegates decide who is the stronger candidate in the fall. "I think that after the final primaries, people are going to start making up their minds," she said. "I think that is the natural progression that one would expect."
If you follow the link, you'll see that the blog entry reproduces 18 words from the story and a 32-word quote by Hillary Clinton under a user-written headline. The blog entry drew 108 comments in the ensuing discussion.
I have all the expertise in intellectual property law of somebody who's never been sued, so standard disclaimers apply. But I have difficulty seeing how it violates copyright law for a blogger to link to a news story with a short snippet of the story in furtherance of public discussion.
AP feels otherwise. In a June 3 letter, AP's Intellectual Property Governance Coordinator Irene Keselman told me:
... you purport that the Drudge Retort's users reproduce and display AP headlines and leads under a fair use defense. Please note that contrary to your assertion, AP considers that the Drudge Retort users' use of AP content does not fall within the parameters of fair use. The use is not fair use simply because the work copied happened to be a news article and that the use is of the headline and the first few sentences only. This is a misunderstanding of the doctrine of "fair use." AP considers taking the headline and lede of a story without a proper license to be an infringement of its copyrights, and additionally constitutes "hot news" misappropriation.
In another DMCA takedown, AP contends that the following user comment is a copyright violation:
Well, the oil execs just put another refinery in South Dakota. Maybe they're a bunch of retards.
Hyperion has said the project, about 60 miles south of Sioux Falls, would create 1,800 permanent jobs and another 4,500 construction jobs over a four-year period. Construction could begin in 2010.
The Hyperion Energy Center would process 400,000 barrels of thick Canadian crude oil a day, which company executives say would help the U.S. reduce its dependence on overseas oil. The company has said it will bring in the crude oil by pipeline but has announced no specific plans for that transportation link.
The user reproduced the last two paragraphs of his comment from the linked Fox News article, written by AP.
AP has filed copyright lawsuits against the VeriSign division Moreover last fall and another against the Florida company All Headline News this year.
I have no desire to be the third member of that club, but sharing links to news stories of interest has become an essential component of how millions of people read and evaluate the news today. When linking to articles, bloggers commonly include excerpts of the article for the purposes of criticism or discussion. Some AP member sites encourage this kind of reuse. Yahoo News, the source for two disputed stories, invites bloggers to use items from its RSS feeds. USA Today, the source for two others, includes a browser widget alongside articles that facilitates their submission to Digg, Mixx and other sites. Wade Duchene, the attorney who helped me win the domain name arbitration for Wargames.Com, says that what we're doing on the Retort is the "absolute definition of fair use."
The DMCA requires that the six blog entries and comment immediately be taken down, regardless of whether I think they're fair use, but users have the option to file counter-notices to AP asserting their own copyright. Because the issue affects all bloggers, I've invited Keselman to explain AP's position at more length. If she accepts I'll post it in full here on Workbench and the Retort.
Assuming I have copyright permission, of course.

1971: Willie Ellison Runs for 247 Yards as Rams Beat Saints
Prior to the December 5, 1971 game between the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints, halfback Willie Ellison had largely labored in obscurity. In his fifth year out of Texas Southern, as part of a stable of good backs in LA he had only occasionally started; in his best season, 1968, he gained 616 yards, but had a combined total of 521 in the other three years. At 6'2" and 210 pounds, he had good speed but was stuck behind bigger backs more to the liking of Head Coach George Allen such as Les Josephson and Larry Smith.
1971 was a year of transition for the Rams, as Allen had been let go following the '70 season and replaced by Tommy Prothro, a career college coach who had been at UCLA. One of the changes the new head coach made was to utilize Ellison more, and it would lead to his not only achieving a career high in rushing but a place in the record book as well.
Los Angeles was 6-4-1 coming into the game against the Saints at the Memorial Coliseum, a half-game behind the 49ers (7-4) in the NFC West. New Orleans, under Head Coach J.D. Roberts, was struggling at 4-5-2, although the Saints were coming off of a win the week before at Green Bay and had beaten the Rams in the first game of the season. However, rookie QB Archie Manning, who had starred in that opening-day contest, was injured against the Packers and out for the rematch with LA – third-year backup Edd Hargett started in his place.
There were 73,610 fans present at the huge stadium, and they didn't have to wait long for the Rams to get on the board. On the third play from scrimmage, Ellison ran around end for an 80-yard touchdown. Sprung thanks to a block by perennial Pro Bowl guard Tom Mack on New Orleans FS D'Artagnan Martin, Ellison had clear sailing until he reached the Saints' 20 and dodged the strong safety, Hugo Hollas, to continue on to the end zone.
The next score was set up when New Orleans punter Julian Fagan, after fielding a bad snap that had gone over his head, launched a punt that went just four yards. LA took over on the New Orleans 33 and capitalized when QB Roman Gabriel completed a 37-yard TD pass to WR Jack Snow.
The Saints then capped an eight-play drive at 9:38 into the opening period as Hargett completed a 25-yard touchdown pass to WR Dan Abramowicz. But no sooner had they cut LA's lead to seven points when RB Travis Williams returned the ensuing kickoff 105 yards for a TD. The Rams led by 21-7 after one quarter of play.
On LA's first series of the second quarter, Ellison broke loose for a 48-yard run to the New Orleans 12, but David Ray ended up missing a 15-yard field goal attempt to make it all for naught. However, when the Saints were forced to punt again, WR Lance Rentzel returned it 24 yards to the New Orleans 37. In a drive assisted by a roughing-the-passer penalty on DT Dave Long, Larry Smith ran the final five yards for a TD.
In the final seconds of the second quarter, Gabriel threw an eight-yard touchdown pass to Rentzel that capped a drive of 69 yards in 13 plays which included three runs for 33 yards by Ellison. After one half, Los Angeles was comfortably leading 35-7 and Ellison had gained 186 yards rushing on 13 carries.
After building the big first half lead, the Rams played poorly in the third quarter. A series of penalties kept them in bad field position - one was an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Prothro, who stormed onto the field after Gabriel was called for intentional grounding.
New Orleans took advantage of LA's miscues to score twice. After a 17-yard punt by Pat Studstill from his two yard line, the Saints had excellent field position at the LA 19 and HB Bob Gresham scored from a yard out. Then Ellison fumbled after taking a hard hit and the ball was recovered by Saints LB Jim Flanigan. New Orleans drove 60 yards in seven plays that resulted in a short TD carry by Hargett.
The score was 35-21 after three quarters, putting the Saints in striking distance, but early in the fourth quarter, Gabriel connected with Rentzel for a 39-yard touchdown to cap a 10-play, 65-yard drive that got the Rams back on track. Hargett followed by throwing a desperation pass while pressured by DT Merlin Olsen that was intercepted by CB Jim Nettles at the New Orleans 45. While the Saints scored once more on a second short, one-yard run by Gresham, the outcome was essentially decided.
The only drama remaining pertained to Ellison as he closed in on the single-game rushing record. The existing NFL record had been 237, twice achieved by Cleveland's Jim Brown, but with the adopting of the American Football League's records following the merger in 1970, the target was now the 243 yards gained by Cookie Gilchrist of the Bills against the Jets in 1963.
A ten-yard gain put Ellison even with Gilchrist at 243 yards, but then Prothro pulled the halfback for a breather with two minutes left to play, much to the displeasure of the crowd. He returned, to cheers, and broke the record with a two-yard run off left tackle. Ellison added another two-yard run for good measure, bringing his new record total to 247 yards, and left the field to a standing ovation.
The result of the game was almost an afterthought, as Ray kicked a 12-yard field goal to make the final score 45-28.
The Rams easily outgained the Saints, by 421 yards to 263, although they gave up 119 yards as a result of 14 penalties (New Orleans was flagged six times). Willie Ellison's 247 rushing yards came on 26 carries for a 9.5-yard average gain and included the one long touchdown.
Roman Gabriel completed 10 of 18 passes for 137 yards with three TDs and no interceptions. Lance Rentzel caught 5 passes for 65 yards and two scores to lead the receivers.
For the Saints, Edd Hargett threw 36 passes and was successful on 19 of them for 213 yards with a touchdown and one picked off. Dan Abramowicz and TE Dave Parks both caught five passes, with Abramowicz gaining 91 yards (and scoring a TD) to 46 for the veteran tight end. New Orleans gained just 56 yards on the ground, on 23 carries, and FB Jim Strong led with 33 yards on 7 attempts. While Bob Gresham scored the two short TDs, he averaged less than a yard a carry with 9 yards on 11 attempts.
"Yes, they made me aware of the records (at halftime)," said Ellison afterward. "I knew I needed something like 60 yards to break the NFL mark. But really, I didn't let it concern me. I felt whatever comes will come."
"Willie Ellison ran like hell all day," said Saints Coach North. "He has a little bit of everything – including blocking."
"You need 11 guys to block," added veteran Rams G Joe Scibelli. "But you also need a guy who knows how to hit the hole. Personally I feel honored to be a part of Willie Ellison's record."
The record-setting performance (it was broken by Buffalo's O.J. Simpson in the first week of the 1973 season) gave Willie Ellison 929 yards in 12 games, on his way to an even 1000 yards on 211 carries (4.7 avg.). He also caught 32 passes for 238 yards, but all four of his touchdowns came on the ground. Ellison led the team with 764 yards in '72, but by the following year he was playing fullback in Kansas City, where his career ended in 1974 (returning to the obscurity from whence he had come).
The Rams ended up with an 8-5-1 record to again finish second to San Francisco in the NFC West; following a losing season in 1972, Prothro would be out as coach. New Orleans lost its last two games to conclude with a 4-8-2 tally, once again at the bottom of the division (the Saints would not escape the NFC West cellar until 1974).

Fears and cheers in state's hearing on medical marijuana
HARTFORD -- There was something for nearly everyone to dislike Monday in the state's plan to legalize and distribute marijuana for medical patients.
Family therapists from coastal Guilford and Clinton warned that the law sends the message to teenagers that it's OK to smoke pot. Potential growers claimed that a $2 million required escrow account was too steep and too simple for federal authorities to seize, should they decide to challenge the state law. Farmers worried that a requirement to produce marijuana with active ingredients within a range of 3 percent would be difficult to meet, since active amounts can vary more than that even among the flowers of a single plant.
Cancer survivors, however, expressed gratitude.
"Thank you for what you're doing today," said Tracey Gamer-Fanning, a 42-year-old West Hartford mother of two who is president of the Connecticut Brain Tumor Alliance. A seven-year survivor of terminal brain cancer, Gamer-Fanning says that marijuana, which she inhales via a smokeless vaporizer to avoid carcinogens, makes her life easier. Traditional anti-cancer drugs sedated her and forced her to stay in bed, she said.
"I wanted to come here today to represent not only myself as a brain cancer patient, but every patient who is afraid to come here, is afraid to come on camera, or embarrassed, or physically can't do it," she said.
More than 100 people packed into a State Office Building hearing room and dozens more spilled over into adjacent offices for the hearing on the next phase of Connecticut's path to provide and regulate medical marijuana that started when last year's legislation was signed into law by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
Department of Consumer Protection Commissioner William M. Rubenstein, who presided over the hearing as part of the phase-in of the new law, thanked Gamer-Fanning for her testimony.
"What we're trying to do is develop a program that serves your interests and hopefully what we've done, aided by the comments that we get here today, will give you the promise that we hope this legislation has," Rubenstein told her.
Rubenstein said the purpose of the hearing was to continue preparing the state to legalize the growing, distribution and use of marijuana for medical patients. Patients have to be identified by doctors and obtain certificates that they would present at licensed dispensaries, to purchase as much as 2.5 ounces of marijuana a month.
The speaker's concerns were wide ranging.
All Joe Palmieri said he wanted was a chance to diversify his crops and possibly grow cannabis on his family farm in Easton.
Palmieri, who heads an eponymous family farm on North Park Avenue in Easton, said local businesses should be given consideration for obtaining one of the cultivation contracts. He also called for the department to revise the $2 million escrow requirement and instead take into account the value of real estate holdings as a performance bond.
Rubenstein, who often got into dialogues with those testifying, said that the U.S. Justice Department could just as soon seize Palmieri's farm as they could the escrow if they wanted to make an issue of the federal illegality.
"Yeah, but it's not as easy," Palmieri replied. "It just won't be gone in a heartbeat. You'll see it coming."
Matt Villmer, a Ridgefield attorney, said his clients are concerned that towns and cities could stand in the way of the medical marijuana industry if they adopt local zoning ordinances that ban such uses.
"These ordinances are surely going to be passed by communities throughout Connecticut," Villmer said.
John Gadea, head of drug enforcement in the DCP, said doctors will be the crucial "gatekeepers" for use of marijuana and must show relationships with patients for whom they prescribe the drug.
The new regulations should mirror the state's pharmacy system and keep a secure chain of production from growing facilities to licensed dispensaries, Gadea said.
Tens of thousands of state residents with debilitating ailments, including cancer, glaucoma, HIV, AIDS, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Crohn's disease or post-traumatic stress disorder could be eligible.
Patients must be at least 18 years of age. Since temporary registration began last October, about 300 have signed up to wait for legal sources of the drug.
To register as an eligible patient, visit the Department of Consumer Protection's website: http://www.ct.gov/dcp/cwp/view.asp?a=1620&q=503670&dcpNav_GID=2109

Do Things Better!By · Comments
I read this quote in Quiet Strength – The Principles, Practices, and Priorities of a Winning Life by Tony Dungy last night.
"Champions are champions not because they do anything extraordinary but because they do the ordinary things better than anyone else." – Chuck Noll
Are you doing the ordinary things better than anyone else? Why or Why Not?
Does Professionalism and Obscenity Mesh?By · Comments
Would you hire a professional service company who repeatedly used offensive language?
I started checking out a company web-blog about a month ago that offers "professional" consulting services and who has really great tips on marketing, copywriting, and SEO techniques for small businesses. The thing is that I really started to get turned off by the frequent dropping of the "F-Bomb" and other colorful words that would make some people blush. What really stunned me is when I discovered this is a stay at home mom.
Now I'll be the first to admit that I am not the poster boy for a clean mouth (when I slipped up as a kid my grandmother washed out my mouth with soap -how about you?) but considering where I used to be and where I am today, it is a night and day difference. It doesn't offend me if other people talk that way unless every other word has to do with four letters and then it doesn't totally offend me as much as it bothers me. To me, it shows a lack of intelligence and disrespect for others. What I can't understand is if most people know that this kind of talk is viewed as offensive, why in the world would you salt your business website with it?
Maybe I am old-school but I would never consider using this type of language on any material that hopes to win me business and wouldn't even think about hiring someone who can't control their language in front of my clients either. Here's an example. My family and I went to a car dealership looking for a new car last year. We stopped at one of the reputable dealers in town but the salesman who came out to help us started cussing in front of my children! He totally showed disrespect to all of us. Needless to say we walked off and they lost a potential sale or any future business (we have also told many people about this experience).
I believe it's time for some businesses to use common sense; to return to old values that were once sacred. Society needs a gut check and that there needs to be another look at whether professionalism and obscenity mesh together. I don't feel that they do.

Do What You Love To Do.By · Comments
I have been reading some really cool blogs lately whose authors seem to really enjoy what they do for a living. Many of them share their insights on how you can pursue your dream and make money at it as well. I have always dreamed about a few things I would love to do from a personal and professional standpoint. I have read great authors who have talked about following your passion or bliss – regardless if you get paid or not. But is this reality or a big pipe dream?
I wonder if this is just something that hits on the human heart and it a great way to sell your blog, books, or speaking engagements.
What about the responsibilities that one has to provide for the family or needs of others? How do you chase something that you dream about doing (and have wanted to do for years) and keep juggling the balls you must juggle in the air? Should you do what you love despite the cost or outcome?

Cisco's switch-based backup
Serverless backup can take the load off servers and ease network traffic. Cisco uses Xcopy on its MDS 9000 switch for serverless backup; see how it compares to other methods and products.
Cisco's switch-based backup
Cisco Systems inc. recently announced its Fibre Channel (FC) MDS 9000 Storage Services Module (SSM) and SAN-OS 2.1 software--which includes support for Xcopy, or Extended Copy--to enable Network Accelerated Serverless Backup (NASB). With serverless backup, the server is removed from the backup process so it doesn't become a performance and reliability bottleneck.
Xcopy has been around for quite a while and is part of the SCSI command set, intended to enable copying data from one storage device to another without passing the data through a server. The notion of serverless backup is attractive because it offers faster backup speeds, lower server loads and less LAN traffic. Still, Xcopy hasn't been widely embraced by users. Users found that without backup software support, serverless backup had many problems that Xcopy didn't address (and still doesn't).
What Cisco has done that's different from the Xcopy support built into other storage products is to make deals with backup software vendors to support their hardware, so the backup software has access to the Xcopy protocols through Cisco's MDS 9000. Users still have to run their backup software, but it connects to the Cisco hardware and bypasses the server. However, Cisco's Xcopy approach isn't necessarily unique: EMC Corp. offers backup apps within its proprietary hardware/software that use Xcopy to the same effect, and other vendors--such as Advanced Digital Information Corporation (ADIC) and its Pathlight VX series and Crossroads System Inc.'s Network Storage Controller--offer products that are similar to serverless backup, but aren't based on Xcopy.
|Different ways to move copied data
Different ways to copy
In the traditional definition of serverless backup, the application server doesn't process data; it's moved directly from storage to backup from an FC storage array to an FC or SCSI backup device. The problem is that the backup application's ability to handle errors, as well as issues like tape changing in libraries, can't be handled through the Xcopy protocol.
Making a fast, block-by-block copy of a volume is useful, but not the only desirable backup strategy. Because Xcopy operates at the device level--it needs to be available in only one device on the SAN (switch or array)--passing blocks from one device to another, it isn't easy to make backup software aware of the Xcopy process. This means that each vendor must come up with its own method of supporting Xcopy.
Today, serverless backup is viewed as less of a panacea than it was a few years ago because replication-based backup is better for many apps. W. Curtis Preston, vice president of services development at Framingham, MA-based GlassHouse Technologies, says he knows of only a handful of companies that use Xcopy for serverless backup--most use replication.
However, Preston is a fan of serverless backup under certain circumstances. For instance, backing up a large database can be hard on the database server, so serverless backup may be the only way to make backups run faster. He also likes the idea of combining Xcopy with virtual tape libraries (VTLs) to copy data from disk to tape inside the virtual tape library. This can be done with existing systems, but the backup software isn't aware of the copy being made. If Xcopy was implemented in a VTL, a backup application would be aware of Xcopy and be able to use it intelligently.
|Pros and cons of various data copy methods
Cisco's Xcopy implementation
Cisco integrated Xcopy onto its line card--the Storage Services Module (SSM)--that supports 32 FC ports and includes an embedded virtualization engine that provides Xcopy functions and talks to backup applications. The Xcopy implementation is highly available, highly integrated and delivers speeds up to 16Gb/sec per line card.
Cisco has cemented partnerships with CommVault Systems Inc. and Computer Associates (CA) International Inc. for their backup products--Galaxy Backup & Recovery and BrightStor Enterprise Backup, respectively--to support the MDS 9000; Veritas Software Corp.'s NetBackup support is in the works. Each line card has eight data mover modules, and each data mover can support 2Gb/sec of serverless backup. Backup applications can load balance across multiple cards for high availability. The storage and backup devices don't have to be directly connected to the SSM line card; they can be connected to any port on the MDS. The card can load balance eight devices and support multiple jobs on each data mover.
The bottom-line value of MDS with Xcopy is that it allows storage managers to use their existing backup software (as long as it's CA, CommVault or Veritas) to manage serverless backups. There are many vendors that offer disk-to-disk backup products, as well as a number of FC switch vendors such as Maxxan Systems Inc. and McData Corp., and storage router vendors such as Crossroads, NeoPath Networks Inc. and Network Executive Software that put intelligence in the switch/router to enable virtualization, replication and snapshots. These products can all provide replication of a volume or create snapshots that have a minimal impact on the application server or availability of data, thereby providing many of the same benefits as serverless backup in general.
Indeed, some of these products may offer greater flexibility than what is currently available with Cisco MDS because snapshots or data mirroring can be used with whatever backup software your company has standardized on. Some of these backup processes, such as remote replication, can run on iSCSI over a standard WAN connection, eliminating the need for costly dark-fibre leases.
Reduce backup overhead
There are many alternatives available to create serverless backups, or to at least offload the overhead of backups from a primary application server. Deciding whether to use Xcopy or some other data copy method will depend on many factors, including the size of the data to be protected, the number of application servers to be protected, available bandwidth, whether the backups need to be at the same site or a different one, and your budget.
With prices starting at more than $100,000, intelligent switches aren't a fit for a single application server. For enterprises with many application servers to protect and limited backup windows, the Cisco MDS 9000 offers high speeds, scalability and wide compatibility. Smaller organizations should look into storage routers and storage virtualization products, which can offer some of the same advantages at a lower cost and speed.

Protection of civilians [fr]
Today civilians account for the vast majority of the casualties in armed conflict. France believes that promoting the protection of civilians in all United Nations activities is essential.
In its first resolution on the issue of the protection of civilians, resolution 1265 (1999), the Security Council affirmed that certain situations where grave violations of international humanitarian law and human rights were taking place (in particular targeted attacks against civilians) could constitute a threat to peace and security, and hence be an issue to be dealt with by the Security Council.
Ten years later, on 11 November 2009, under the presidency of the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 1894 on the protection of civilians. This resolution marks the determination of the Security Council to remain seized of the issue, and covers many issues at stake for the protection of civilians.
Main elements of resolution 1894
Resolution 1894 of 11 November 2009 reaffirms the Security Council's determination to deal with situations in which serious violations of international humanitarian law and human rights have been committed. It establishes a link between the international community's obligations in the area of protection of civilians and its responsibility, including that of the Security Council, under the responsibility to protect, which is reaffirmed.
The resolution affirms the role of the Security Council in creating an environment that is conducive to the facilitation of humanitarian access.
It recognizes that the PKOs represent an important tool for the Security Council with respect to ensuring the protection of civilians and lists the concrete measures that must be taken in order to implement the protection mandates (development by the Secretary-General of operational guidelines, inclusion in the general planning of PKO activities of a protection strategy based on an analysis of the risks and threats and which clearly defines the priorities, actions, roles and responsibilities of all parties, under the leadership of the Secretary-General's Special Representative; the need to take into account the protection of civilians in leadership training and in pre-deployment training, benchmarks). This progress falls within the framework of the joint initiative by France and the United Kingdom regarding the review of the PKOs.
The resolution reaffirms the need to put an end to impunity and to prosecute persons responsible for the most serious crimes, including through the use of international criminal justice mechanisms. It recalls that the International Criminal Court has jurisdiction over war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide which are crimes committed against civilians.
The resolution strengthens the framework in which the Security Council must examine the issues relating to the protection of civilians by requesting more detailed and systematic information from the Secretary-General regarding the violations committed against civilians so that it can take this into consideration in its deliberations, and by recognizing the importance of the Aide Memoire on the protection of civilians prepared by the OCHA and adopted by the Security Council in January 2009.
The adoption of resolution 1973 in March 2011 regarding the situation in Libya represented a new step in the implementation of the protection of civilians by the Security Council. It was the first time that the Security Council gave a blanket authorisation for the use of force in order to protect civilians. Until then, such authorisation for humanitarian reasons was either limited in time (two months under resolution 929 for the Turquoise operation in Rwanda in 1994), or in scope (protection of humanitarian convoys under resolution 770(1992) in Bosnia).
The protection of civilians should be viewed from various angles:
Access to civilians - humanitarian access
France attaches particular importance to the respect of humanitarian space, which is vital for ensuring access to populations in distress. It must be possible to allow the unhindered distribution of humanitarian aid.
On France's initiative, the General Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution in 1988 declaring the principle of freedom of access for organizations to victims of natural disasters and other emergency situations. (Resolution 43-131 of 8 December 1988, and Resolution 45-100 of 10 December 1990)
Since then, the principle has been reaffirmed by the Security Council in more than three hundred texts relating to around twenty conflicts. With this in mind, France is actively involved in the negotiation of General Assembly resolutions aimed at strengthening the effectiveness of humanitarian aid and protecting humanitarian personnel. Aid effectiveness and the safety of personnel are dependent on timely, unrestricted and unhindered access.
The humanitarian challenge (excerpt from the European Consensus on Humanitarian Aid)
"Humanitarian actors today face a number of major challenges. There has been an increasing tendency for International Law, including International Humanitarian Law, Human Rights Law and Refugee Law, to be ignored or blatantly violated. The 'humanitarian space' that is needed to ensure access to vulnerable populations and the safety and security of humanitarian workers must be preserved as essential preconditions for the delivery of humanitarian aid, and for the European Union (EU) and its partners in the humanitarian field to be able to get assistance including protection to crisis-hit people, based on respect for the principles of neutrality, impartiality, humanity and independence of humanitarian action, enshrined in International Law, in particular International Humanitarian Law."
In peacekeeping operations
Resolution 1674, adopted in 2006, establishes the general normative framework for the Council's action with regard to the protection of civilians in armed conflict. It reaffirms the principle of responsability to protect as formulated in the World Summit Outcome Document in 2005. It stipulates that all relevant information and analysis on the protection of civilians be reported to the Council and in particular includes provisions for UN peacekeeping operation mandates where appropriate and on a case-by-case basis to:
— protect civilians under imminent threat of physical danger;
— prevent and respond to sexual violence;
— facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance;
— ensure security in and around camps for refugees and security for the persons living there;
— create conditions conducive to their voluntary and safe return.
Nine peacekeeping operations have been mandated by the Security Council to protect civilians (MONUSCO in the Democratic Republic of Congo, MINUSMA in Mali, UNOCI in Côte d'Ivoire, UNMIL in Liberia, UNAMID in Darfur, UNISFA in Abyei (Sudan), UNMISS in South Sudan, MINUSTAH in Haiti, UNIFIL in Lebanon).
Specific groups of civilians: women and children
Millions of civilians are casualties of conflict. However, women and children are particularly vulnerable and have unfortunately become the most targeted victims. In addition, sexual violence is used in many armed conflicts as a weapon of war against civilians, and women are particularly affected.
Three key Security Council resolutions should be noted in this regard:
Resolution 1612 (2005) on children and armed conflict is currently the Security Council's landmark resolution thanks to the monitoring mechanism of the parties to conflict managed by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, Mrs. Coomaraswamy, and thanks to the Council's Working Group.
Resolution 1325 (2000) on Women and Peace and Security ensures that women are not only better protected, but also more involved in resolving conflicts, helping to make a different voice heard.
Resolution 1820 (2008) on Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict adopted on 19 June 2008, eight years after resolution 1325, marks a new development in the fight against sexual violence which has increased to unacceptable levels in recent years. Started on the United States' initiative, with France's active support, this resolution calls for intensifying the fight against the impunity of perpetrators of sexual violence. It links sexual violence as a war tactic to peacekeeping and international security, stipulates possible punishments for perpetrators of such crimes, and gives a clear mandate to the Secretary-General and to peacekeeping operations to take charge of the different aspects of this issue.
Resolution 1738 (2006) focuses on another specific group, journalists. This resolution, submitted at the initiative of France and Greece, "condemns intentional attacks against journalists, media professionals and associated personnel in situations of armed conflict, and calls on all parties to halt such practices."
The Security Council holds a six-monthly public debate on the issue of the protection of civilians.
During the last debate organized by the Chinese presidency of the Security Council on 25 June 2012, the member states of the Security Council commented the report of the Secretary General Ban Ki Moon on the protection of civilians in armed conflict.
They strongly condemned the attacks targeting the civilian populations, in violation of international humanitarian law. Having expressed their great concern regarding to increasing attacks against civilians in Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Soudan and DRC, the members of the Council recalled that fighting against impunity was also essential to the protection of the civilians.

It's been a week since my last clothing promo ended and I recently posted the result of the contest. Congratulations to the winner! It is my most successful giveaway as of now and I owe it all to you. Thank you for everyone who read, liked, commented, and participated. I really appreciated your presence in my posts and I am touched that you even support me in my new endeavours. Some are nice as to give advices and suggestions on how I can improve my writing, reading, and style. Others even sent me private messages to personally get in touch. Blogging for more than a year and receiving such attention from a lot of people around the globe is something that I think I won't stop getting overwhelmed with. It seems that as the number of followers and visitors of Impressions of a Princess grows, my heart swells little by little to afford rooms for each and every one of you.
How can I show my gratitude and appreciation to you? I know I have too many backlog posts as well as comments unreplied. I haven't always returned the favor to a new follower's site and I only read the first few posts in my reader everyday. Life happens and I am currently in the thick of it, but it's no excuse. Lately, I've been trying to catch up with more fellow bloggers and hope that this will continue. If I am yet to reply or visit you, kindly wait for me. I will be there in your site soon!
Thankfully, there is another option to show how thankful I am for your support. As what I have been doing recently, I'd like to host another international giveaway to celebrate. What do you think? Indressme, a top online clothing store, offers chic and trendy outfits straight from the high street of Tokyo, London, and Paris. Think you've heard of this shop before? You probably did. Indressme generously gave two $30 clothing coupon a month ago and they are willing to do it again. They mentioned they love us and want to present another gift! How's that?
I made a few orders from them a while back, but only one item has been shipped at the moment. My country's postal service sucks so if you are planning to send me something, you might get discouraged to know that it normally takes 20-70 days for a parcel to be received. But if you insist, I'd be happy to wait for your present. Hehe. Anyway, before I give you the deets of my new giveaway, let me torment you with my photos wearing an Indressme dress.
Aside from two more items I purchased, I got this striped blue knit dress. The model looks gorgeous wearing that so I hoped that a miracle would somehow transfer her appeal to me. Didn't work that way though. 🙂
Anyway, the dress was only available in free size and I was scared that it might not fit me. I am a loser for free size clothes – I always end up like wearing a sack. I have a small frame and my shoulder length is similar to that of a child. Well, good thing this dress fits. I love it! It hugs in all places [I wished I have a curvy figure so it will be more pronounced, but beggars can't be choosers] and I think I look decent (like a stick!). I specifically like the sleeves. They are narrow enough to stick (there's that word again!) to my thin arms. The wrist part was narrower and I felt joy in perfectly exposing the sexiest part of my body [Yes, I'm that pitiful]!
Let's move on since I know you've been skipping through my post just to get the good news. Haha. Well, the rules of engagement are the same. Attend to each task in the rafflecopter widget and you'll earn points. The more things you do, the higher number of entries you'll get. A friendly advice though. Whenever I generate a winner, I validate the winning entry first and it is disappointing to know that some are not honest in previous contests. Please don't go there because I don't want to go King Kong and Godzilla to you. Let's just enjoy the game while playing fair!
Indressme is giving away a $40 coupon to be used for their shop. No minimum purchase required when redeeming the coupon and no freight cost to all items. Contest is open internationally so everyone is eligible to join. Ends on June 25. Winners will be chosen via electronic draw using Rafflecopter and will be announced on June 27 in this blog and will be contacted via email. They will be given 48 hours to respond to the email before another winner will be chosen.

And oh, please be kind as to share your thoughts about this post. What do you think of my purchased dress? Are the stripes okay or do I look like a female Charlie Chaplin? Any suggestion on what I should give away next? Feel free to comment down below.
