Since Rocky Point School District , the company that has been under contract with the district, have been voicing their displeasure and concern over possible jobs lost.
At Monday's Board of Education meeting, workers helped pack the cafeteria in the and gave empassioned speeches while donning their First Student uniforms. The workers emphasized the fact that the majority of them are local, living in either Rocky Point or surrounding areas, and that the effect these lost jobs would have could be critical.
"We are residents of Rocky Point and unlike more affluent surrounding areas we make up a large part of this community," said Valerie Whitworth, a bus driver and resident. "Rocky Point, unlike other districts, has had less trouble passing its school budgets in no small part due to our votes."
In her speech, Whitworth emphasized that close to 100 people could lose their jobs and many would not be hired by the new company, which would have a profound impact on the area.
"For a small town we rely and depend on each other," she said. "Rocky Point may never recover from this loss and we think this decision is more important to this town than anyone may realize."
Many parents and even students made their support for First Student clear by discussing the safety and comfort they feel with these bus drivers.
"A lot of these First Student bus drivers are parents in the community, and some of their children are our friends," said Christian Cabrera, a student at . "It would be sad to see these great people over here lose their jobs."
With the bidding open, the district is required by law to reward the bid to the "lowest responsible bidder."
"Responsible is the key word and you can define that by the specs," Superintendent Michael Ring said. "We spend a lot of time going through all of those items for each of the bidders to determine if they all do meet the criteria of a responsible bidder. If they do not meet the criteria they are not considered."
Ring said that the bid should be awarded at either the April or May Board of Education meeting.

- 12 Jan 2013
I am satisfied with my neck lift (not perfect, but a whole lot better, though when I look up I still have 4 bands that protrude...I will ask about that on my next appt) I am satisfied with my jowels (they still exist, but to a lesser degree), and I am happy with my lower cheeks (although I still need Sculptra to fill in my upper cheeks, in the "line" where my lower cheeks have fallen between eyes and nose.
The front of my left ear looks like I've had no surgery. the front of my right ear is not as lucky. Deep, hard, red scar in front of hairline, when the left side was within the hairline, and therefore invisible.What I am unhappy with, depressed even, is the cauliflower type scars created behind my ears. I massage like I was told, along with following all the rules to a tee, but the backs of my ears are lumpy and gross.
I am one month out. I absolutely need him to fix this, since I wear my hair up almost every day, and have not been able to since the surgery.
I would like to amend my previous review. I was in...
- 16 Jan 2013
I got Sculptra today in my upper cheeks and temples...it looks good now, and I have been given clear expectations for the coming weeks.
I want to sincerely apologize for my initial knee-jerk comments a few days ago. I think I felt alone and anxious and that I wasn't going to be helped. But I know now that that isn't the case.
Great review?
Dr. Hankins knows what he's doing and if something isn't quite right the first time, he will make it right.

Find out how we produce our information|
The stage of a cancer is a term used to describe its size and whether it has spread beyond its original area of the body. Knowing the stage of the cancer and how quickly it's likely to grow (the grade|) helps the doctors to decide on the best treatment, and it also gives a rough idea of the outlook.
Like many cancers, ovarian cancer is grouped into four stages, Stages 1–4. For stages 1–3, there are also sub-stages, which further describe the size and extent of the cancer.
It's often not possible to stage an ovarian cancer before a laparotomy (a type of operation) is done and the results of any biopsies are known.
We describe a commonly used staging system in this section.
Borderline tumours are made up of low-grade cells that are unlikely to spread. They are usually completely cured by surgery and rarely require further treatment.
Stage 1 ovarian cancer only affects the ovaries. This stage is divided into three sub-groups:
Stage 2 ovarian cancer has begun to spread outside the ovaries to other areas within the pelvis. There are three sub-groups:
The cancer has spread beyond the pelvis to the lining of the abdomen (a fatty membrane called the omentum), and/or to abdominal organs such as the lymph nodes in the abdomen, or the upper part of the bowel.
The cancer has spread to other parts of the body such as the liver|, lungs| or distant lymph nodes| (for example in the neck).
The grade of a cancer gives an idea of how quickly it may develop. To find the grade of your cancer, your doctors will look at a sample of the cancer cells under the microscope. The cancer may be graded as:

In the third installment of "Inside the Hill", congressional staff discuss the different uses and advantages of Twitter.
When I talk to citizens and grassroots advocates, one of the biggest complaints they have is that they feel like they have few avenues to participate in committee processes on the Hill. Congressman John Shimkus (R-IL), however, recently gave his constituents a unique opportunity to participate in a House Energy and Environment Subcommittee hearing.
Our friends over at the American Psychological Association recently brought to our attention a publication created by their affiliate, the California Psychological Association, entitled 'A Legislator's Guide: Communicating with Distressed Constituents.' (PDF-418 KB) The document was authored by clinical psychologist Sandra R. Harris, Ph.D. and was originally created and distributed to members of the California State Legislature. The information that it provides, however, translates well to the challenges Members of Congress and congressional staff face at the federal level when assisting constituents with casework requests, taking constituent comments over the phone, or answering constituent letters or emails.
This afternoon, we sent e-mails to Chiefs of Staff and Staff Directors notifying them of their office's website grade in the 111th Congress evaluations. Don't worry — these grades are confidential and are not provided to anyone but the office itself.
Naturally, we've been fielding numerous calls and e-mails from staff all over the Hill. Some are pleasantly surprised by their performance — others not so much.
But no matter where you fall on the grade spectrum, we have some good news for everyone:
We hope that you receive this information in the spirit it's given. Our mission is to help you communicate more effectively online. Just don't shoot the messenger.
After much eager anticipation and nervous worry from congressional offices, CMF — through its Partnership For A More Perfect Union — today announced the best Web sites on Capitol Hill.
The cornerstone of our democracy is a Congress elected by and accountable to the people. Improving and enriching the relationship between them is essential to forming a more perfect union. And as any relationship expert will tell you, communication is key.
For town hall meetings to be effective and deliberative - defined as the discussion and consideration of all sides of an issue - citizens need to be able to hear each other and the Member. Likewise, Members of Congress need the opportunity to explain their own policy positions in a face-to-face venue and to hear feedback from as broad and representative a group of their constituents as possible.
Since the release of our Recommendations for Improving the Democratic Dialogue in 2008, we've been working to bring about a dramatic change in the way communications are transmitted to and from congressional offices.
CMF partnered with AmericaSpeaks to showcase a model that Members can utilize to conduct large-scale, deliberative discussions with constituents that promote a meaningful dialogue.

This report summarizes the findings and recommendations from a study of 21 online town hall meetings between Members of Congress and their constituents which were facilitated by the Congressional Management Foundation and our academic research partners.
The report was funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and contributions from Harvard's Ash Institute for Democratic Governance and Innovation.

Team Lotus boss Tony Fernandes said he was overjoyed after his team secured 10th place in the constructors' championship for the second year in a row. The result means the team, which will race as Caterham next season, will get a financial boost thanks to its performance over the past two seasons.
Fernandes also said he was delighted to have Heikki Kovalainen finish ahead of a Renault in today's race in Brazil, the Finn coming home in 16th place, just in front of Bruno Senna, who had a troubled event. Lotus Renault will be renamed Team Lotus next year after a long battle over the name with Fernandes, who said he was glad to prove "good guys do win."
"Almost tears for me today! I am absolutely overjoyed," said Fernandes. "Two years of hard work have paid off today and it was great to see both cars home safely, helping us win 10th place. The icing on the cake was beating a Renault – that meant a lot to me as I have always said the good guys do win.
"We have a fantastic little team here. Now we look forward to our new life as Caterham F1 Team and we say goodbye to Team Lotus. Colin [Chapman], we hope we did you proud and we hope you keep an eye over us as Caterham F1 Team. We know we will do you proud there as well."

The Blues - who made the 120-mile journey to Norfolk by plane on Saturday - had got off to a flying start when Oscar put the visitors into a fourth-minute lead after Demba Ba's lay-off from a Frank Lampard through ball.
However, instead of pressing on to take command of the game, Chelsea failed to make the most of their positive opening as Norwich, fighting for points at the other end of table, responded after the break, and when Ba scuffed his shot in front of an empty net, the hosts were level through Anthony Pilkington, who earlier might have earned a penalty after being tripped by Ramires.
After the introduction of Eden Hazard and Willian, Norwich saw all of their hard work undone when a poor back-header was seized on by the Belgian, who squeezed the ball under England goalkeeper John Ruddy before the Brazilian midfielder cracked in a superb angled drive to finally put the result beyond doubt.
Mourinho said: "During the game I am not nervous. I have feelings. I smell things, and when that easy goal (from Ba) was missed, I had a smell that they would score a goal.
"That is why I had Eden warming up at 1-0 because I smelled that.
"We could have won or lost it at 1-1 because we, at that moment, we didn't want a point.
"If they had scored a second goal, we would probably lose, but we are trying to be top.
"After a point at Spurs, a point here would have been a bad result for us, so we tried to win it."
Mourinho felt he had to do something to try to turn the game back in his side's favour, with Norwich dominating for long spells in the second half.
"They come in and they change the game, the manager did very well. If they come on and make it worse, it's a very bad decision by the manager. It is their responsibility," the Chelsea manager said.
"The situation had become difficult at 1-1. We all knew that a point here would be a bad result for us, but I think the team - not just the boys who came on - coped well with the pressure and, without using totally the balance, we could gamble and risk a bit to try and bring something different to the game to see if Norwich could cope."
Mourinho acknowledged Norwich had pushed his side, using the strengths of a squad assembled at a fraction of the cost of his own.
"It was very British in the sense of the emotion," he said. "You could feel the crowd waiting for moments of emotion. They were winning a corner and the emotion was coming into the game. They put a long ball in the box to van Wolfswinkel and the noise was pressing for the second man arriving in the box. It is their style adapted to the players' profile.
"They have this. I don't have, so I have to go with what I had. I had to put Eden and Willian, all three on, two quick strikers with Eden and (Samuel) Eto'o. We go with what we have."
Mourinho feels there is nothing wrong with playing to your strengths.
He added: "I think that if you try to play like other people do, and you have no players for that, you are very stupid.
"I won the league in Spain with 100 points and my team were not playing like Barcelona were. If you try to play like someone else does, you never reach their level.
"You have to try and be the best to the style of your players. That's very simple.
"When I say to (Branislav) Ivanovic: 'Don't make an early cross because (Didier) Drogba is not there,' I know what I'm saying. He'd be crossing for what? Why would you want to play like another team? Don't try to be clever because you'll become stupid."
Meanwhile, England left-back Ashley Cole is set for a scan on a rib injury suffered in the win at Carrow Road.
Cole was substituted with 15 minutes left for tactical reasons, but Mourinho revealed the player later complained of a problem and so would be examined, but did not expect any major impact on his place in the England squad for next week's World Cup qualifiers.
Mourinho said: "I didn't know (that Cole was injured). We were in a difficult position before. He had something in his ribs that we need to assess, but hopefully it's fine. But yes, it was a tactical decision.
"He goes for a scan now, when we arrive (back in London), on his ribs. I hope he is fine.
"I want England to do (well), so I hope he's fine."

My friend Lisa does a lot to support Wellspring, which is a local organization providing educational opportunities, summer camp, food, etc to people living downtown and in what we call the West Central Neighborhood, which is pretty much downtown. I lived in the west central neighborhood until I was 11 or 12 and love seeing the revitalization currently taking place.
Anyway, she asked me to make something for their upcoming gala. So I put this chainmaille bracelet together.
Before it got to this final point, I texted Lisa with this photo to ask if it was acceptable:
She was thrilled with it. But I decided I wanted it to be less shiny. So I did this to it:
This is after a liver of sulphur bath and a tiny bit of scrubbing with a 0000 piece of steel wool.
After a bit more scrubbing, this is what it looks like compared to a piece of the same chainmaille weave without patina
Patina (which is basically the process of rapidly tarnishing metal) really is personal preference. I like it, but not all the time. I usually don't love super shiny copper. However, sometimes I do. It really depends on the person making the piece or the person buying the piece.
Once I had steel wooled the bracelet to my satisfaction, I put it in the tumbler for a couple hours. I use one I got from Harbor Freight, but am thinking it's time to upgrade very soon as this thing doesn't have enough horse power for how much I use it
And here's the final result:
One more thing…I was perusing a craft show pinterest board that Joanne Tinley curated and found this ideas for showing biz cards. I think it's brilliant!
While at Target this morning, I found Slinky Jr's in the dollar section:
This is my favorite biz card solution so far!

text: [September 3 2005] Publication history First published in the LadiesÆ Home Journal, May 1900. Collected in Just So Stories, illustrated by the author, and followed by the poem ōIÆve never sailed the Amazonö (titled ōRolling down to Rioö in Edward GermanÆs Just So Song Book and in The Kipling Reader). The story Stickly-Prickly Hedgehog and Slow-Solid Tortoise lived on the banks of the Amazon river. Painted Jaguar also lived there. He was told by his Mother how to catch hedgehogs and tortoises so that he could eat them, by dropping the Hedgehog into water and scooping the Tortoise out of his shell. He found them, and the Hedgehog curled up while the Tortoise hid in his shell. Painted Jaguar repeated his motherÆs advice and asked them which of them was which. They answered by scrambling her words until the Jaguar was thoroughly confused. He tried to scoop out the Hedgehog and got his paw full of prickles. Then he argued with the Tortoise till he was even more confused, and told the Tortoise to jump into the water, whereupon the Tortoise swam away. He turned his motherÆs instructions into a rhyme to help him remember. The Hedgehog and the Tortoise overheard, and decided to share their skills, the Tortoise learning to curl up and the Hedgehog to swim. In the process, both were changed, so that the HedgehogÆs prickles became armour and the TortoiseÆs shell grew flexible. They sought out Painted Jaguar and rolled around him till he was dizzy. He complained to his mother, who told him to call the new animal ōArmadilloö and to leave it alone. So he did. Background notes The manuscript of the story is in the volume Just So Stories in the British Library. It is not mentioned in CarringtonÆs notes from Mrs KiplingÆs diaries. Roger Lancelyn Green (1965, p. 176) listed it, without a reference, as one of the stories Kipling began to write in August 1899, as he first began to recover from the death of his elder daughter in March of that year. Kipling had never visited Brazil when he wrote this story and its poem. But that area had been vital to his imagination since his childhood: according to Something of Myself [p. 9], one of his earliest literary passions was for Daniel DefoeÆs Robinson Crusoe, in which the hero was wrecked on an island off the coast of ōthe Brazils.ö Two books which can be found in KiplingÆs study may have contributed ideas to the story: Charles Darwin, The Voyage of the ōBeagleö (1839), which describes [ch. vi] the armadilloÆs method of curling up against enemies; and Oliver GoldsmithÆs A History of the Earth and Animated Nature (1774) [vol. ii, bk vi] which places the armadilloÆs description just after ōAnimals of the Hedgehog, or Prickly kind.ö Another likely source is Jataka, Bk XXII, no. 543 (Bhuridatta-Jataka), in which a tortoise escapes a king who wishes to kill it by persuading him to put it into water; Something of Myself [p. 141] and Kim [ch. ix] both mention Jataka. Kipling also read Aphra BehnÆs Oroonoko (c. 1688) [Pinney, ed., Letters, vol. 3, p. 394], which refers to the animalÆs ōarmour.ö In an Indian oral tale ōWash me before eatingö, a turtle tells a jackal he must be soaked in water to soften his shell; the jackal drops the turtle into water, where upon it swims away [Antti Aarne and Stith Thompson, 'The Types of the Folk-Tale' (Helsinki, Academia Scientiarum Fennica, 1961, p. 49, no. 122G)]. Kipling could have heard this as a child in India. Another version, which Kipling might have come across in South Africa, is recorded in Edward Steere, Swahili Tales as told by Natives of Zanzibar [SPCK, 1889, p. 273] involving a lion and a tortoise. When Kipling was at boarding-school, a favourite book was Uncle Remus by Joel Chandler Harris [see notes to ōThe United Idolatersö, Debits and Credits], in which a similar ruse is employed by Brer Rabbit to escape being eaten by Brer Fox. Among the books in KiplingÆs study is a set of the reissued Principall Navigations, Voiages, Traffiques and Discoveries of the English Nation (1598-1600) by Richard Hakluyt, from which he took the title of his collection Traffics and Discoveries. The first illustration to ōThe Beginning of the Armadilloesö is a pictorial map, on which is inscribed a fictional account in mock Elizabethan language of a similar expedition somewhere in South America. For a transcript, see Notes on the Text. ORG compares it to Sir Walter RaleighÆs expedition to the Orinoco in 1617. In 1927 the Kiplings would take a cruise to Brazil. On arrival at Rio de Janeiro, since he had said in the poem with this story that he had never seen an armadillo, he was presented with one in a cage. He commented in a letter to his surviving daughter that he felt unable to keep the creature alive and happy, and so had returned it to the donor with thanks, but that the poem ōseems to have been my pass-port [sic] to this land!ö [Pinney, ed., Letters, vol. 5, p. 343]. Critical Opinions Angus Wilson wrote [1977, p. 231]: As for the Armadillo story, it is full of more obvious, but perhaps slightly more grown-up tongue-twisting fun [than the earlier stories in the collection], as the Tortoise and the Hedgehog evade the young JaguarÆs hunger by confusing him. [quoted, page 92 lines 26-31].For Rosalind Meyer: It is again the style of speech which gives the clue in ōThe Beginning of the Armadilloes.ö Stickly-Prickly and Slow-and-Solid [sic] speak rhythmically and even poetically at times; but for all that, on occasion their phraseology may be parallelled in Stalky & Co., published the previous year.Nora Crook [1989, captions to plates 7 and 8] compares the second illustration to BlakeÆs ōBehemoth and Leviathanö in GilchristÆs Life of Blake, I, p. 336, adding: In The Elements of Drawing (owned by Kipling) Ruskin advised novices to study this plate.Brian Alderson deplored the tendency of publishers to substitute illustrations by other artists for KiplingÆs drawings: To tell the story of, say, ōThe Beginning of the Armadilloesö without the wonderful, absorbing ōinciting map of the Turbid Amazon done in Red and Black,ö or without the ōwhole storyödesign (and the attendant information that ōthe JaguarÆs pet name with his Mummy was Dofflesö), is first to eliminate bits of the author from his own book, and second to deprive the reader of half the fun of the story. [ōJust so Pictures: Illustrated Versions of Just So Stories for Little Childrenö, in Judith A. Plotz (ed.), vol.20 of Annual of the Modern Language Association Division on ChildrenÆs Literature and the ChildrenÆs Literature Association, (New Haven, Yale University Press, 1992) pp. 160-1].

The 'Obama Jacket'
How To Help The Hackers
Slimy, but Smart
Big Names in...Basketball
Would You Like Fries with Your Curry?
Why Mikey Hates to Fly
The first time that Michael Hicks was frisked by airport security, he criedlike any 2-year-old would. He shares a name with one of the 13,500 people on the watch list of the the F.B.I.'s Terrorist Screening Center, so flying is always tricky for Mikeynow an 8-year-old third-grader and Cub Scout from Clifton, New Jersey. His family travels frequently, and Mikey is often stopped for extra screening. On a trip to the Bahamas in January, he was frisked both going and coming home. Mikey isn't the only one whose name makes it hard to get on a plane: Hundreds of others also get caught up because they share a name with someone on the watch list. In the past three years, 82,000 frustrated fliers have asked to be removed from the list. Now, under a new Secure Flight Program, airlines will collect passengers' birth dates and gender, along with namesso Mikey's date of birth should prevent his being mistaken for a terrorist. "We can't just throw a bunch of names on these lists and call it security," says William J. Pascrell Jr., Mikey's Congressman. "If we can't get an 8-year-old off the list, the whole list becomes suspect."
The 'Obama Jacket'
President Obama was wearing the jacket when he was photographed at the Great Wall of China in November. And it wasn't long before the manufacturer, Weatherproof Garment Company in New York, was promoting it as the "Obama Jacket"even posting a giant billboard in Times Square that used the news photo from China. But a White House spokesman said the President hadn't approved the use of his image, and that the ad wrongly implied that Obama endorses the jacket. (The White House has long disapproved of using a President's name and likeness for commercial purposes, even if it's probably not illegal under the First Amendment.) Although Weatherproof has taken down the billboard, it apparently did its job: A company spokesman says the presidential jacket has "blown out of every Macy's."
How To Help The Hackers
It's the digital version of leaving a key under the doormat: picking simple, easily guessed passwords. Yet one out of five Web users does it, says Amichai Shulman of Imperva, which makes software for blocking hackers. Shulman studied a list of 32 million passwords that a hacker stole from RockYou, a site offering social-networking tools. Nearly 1 percent of the list used "123456," and 20 percent chose from a pool of the same 5,000 passwords. This makes it a lot easier for hackers to break into accounts just by trying the most common passwords, often firing off thousands of tries per minute. Many sites now force users to mix letters, numbers, and even symbols into their passwords.
Slimy, but Smart
Slime mold may look like just a blob, but it's a smart one. Researchers in Japan have found that the fungus-like organism can design a network as efficient as one that took humans years to develop: the Tokyo rail system. As slime mold feeds on bacteria found on decaying plant material, it spreads out and builds tubular connections between food sources. Scientists laid 36 bits of food in a pattern corresponding to cities in the Tokyo area and placed a slime mold in the spot representing Tokyo. Within 26 hours, the slime mold had created a series of tubular links resembling the railroad network. Using the slime mold's performance as a guide, researchers hope to create a mathematical model that could help design networks like those used in mobile communications.
Big Names in...Basketball
They haven't gone platinum or won any Grammy Awards, and besides, they're much more concerned with rebounds and free throws. As starters for the University of Colorado women's basketball team, Whitney Houston and Brittany Spears share the names (if not the spellings) of two far more famous entertainers. Houston is a lightning-quick 5-foot-5 guard, who's averaging 10.5 points. And 6-foot-1 Spears is on track to become Colorado's career leading scorer and may be headed for the W.N.B.A. "It's fun sometimes with their names," says assistant coach Patrick Harrington, "but it's more fun when you see them play ball."

BELLEFONTE, Centre County — The courtroom proceedings in Jerry Sandusky's child sex-abuse case were brief and short on drama Thursday, but on the courthouse lawn, a state prosecutor accused the former Penn State coach of trying his case in the court of public opinion.
Sandusky's lawyer agreed during the 20-minute hearing in Centre County Court to withdraw some of the claims he raised in a pretrial motion. Attorney Joseph Amendola opted against debating the others at the hearing, saying the judge was likely to dismiss them anyway.

Through the Dark, by Wind-of-Change · 5:41am
Well. it's too short to make it a story of it's own. For those of you who know me, this is a dark fic-poem written by my OC's chaos form/dark form. Why I even came up with this, I have no idea. Well, I hope those of you who know me and read my profile will enjoy this 15 minute work.
Through the Dark
By Wind-of-Change
Through the Dark
You see a world of light,
Only it isn't right.
Through the Dark
What you thought was Lies,
Well... see with your own eyes.
You step through,
Into a city in the sky.
In a world,
Where weather is controlled by Pegasi
Lies are True,
When you look at rainbows in the sky
In that factory,
Where some are fated to die.
You step through
Into a shop of sweets
In a world,
Where friends choose to meet
Lies are True,
About the sweets you see
In that store,
You won't hear the screams.
You step through,
Into a field of trees
In a world,
Where fruit is all you see
Lies are True,
That fruit is red for a reason
On that farm,
Try to avoid harvest season
You step through,
Into a library
In a world,
Where you only study
Lies are True,
Nothing is a theory
In that library,
It's all a conspiracy
You step through
Into a boutique
In a world,
where fashion is at its peak
Lies are True,
There's never a confession
In that boutique,
You'll only find obsession
You step through,
Into a home
In a world,
Where animals are never alone
Lies are True,
You don't have to cry
In that home,
You won't be the first to die.

Penguins defensemen Bortuzzo, Strait land in unexpected place
October 13, 2012 4:00 AMTheir first road game of their season will be tonight, just like the schedule said it would.
And it will be played in New York, just like the schedule said.
But defensemen Robert Bortuzzo and Brian Strait will not spend tonight in the city where they wanted to be. Or playing for the team they hoped to be with. Or even working in the league they had planned to be part of, for that matter.
The Penguins, you see, were scheduled to visit Buffalo tonight, but that game was called off because of the lockout that has shut down the NHL.
So Bortuzzo and Strait, both of whom were intent on earning full-time positions on the Penguins defense this fall, will open the 2012-13 American Hockey League season tonight in Binghamton, N.Y., where Wilkes-Barre/Scranton will face Ottawa's top minor league affiliate.
It's not what either player anticipated, at least until the lockout became inevitable, and certainly is not what either wanted.
Still, neither seems inclined to fixate on -- or fret over -- this unexpected twist in their career paths.
"Someone told me earlier in my career, 'Control what you can control,' " Bortuzzo said recently.
"I'm in the fortunate position to still be playing hockey during a time like this, a lockout. Obviously, I'd rather be making a push for an NHL spot right now, but that's out of my control."
It seems unlikely that Bortuzzo actually will play against the Baby Senators because he has been recovering from an unspecified injury received during an exhibition game eight days ago.
There is, however, a pretty good chance that whenever he gets clearance to play, he and Strait will reprise their role as the Baby Penguins' shutdown defense pairing.
"They've been that for us for three years," said Wilkes-Barre coach John Hynes, who went on to acknowledge that "there would always be that temptation" to overuse two players who have been so reliable at that level.
Indeed, Bortuzzo and Strait have established they are more than capable of filling significant niches in the AHL; the challenge for both coming out of the offseason was supposed to be proving that they were ready for steady work in the NHL.
Because of the lockout, it might be a while before they can try to make that point, but that doesn't mean their time in Wilkes-Barre has to be the professional equivalent of treading water.
"I just hope they get something cleared up [in the NHL]," Strait said. "In the meantime, you just have to go about your business here, get better and help this team win.
"At the end of the day, organizations are looking for winners. You can only help yourself if you're helping a team down here win."
If Strait and Bortuzzo are overqualified to compete in the AHL, they hardly are the only ones.
The lockout has led to dozens of promising young players turning up in the minors, where they will try to hone the edge on their games until the NHL gets back in session.
That higher-than-usual level of competition should minimize the danger of players such as Strait and Bortuzzo picking up bad habits from competing against players who are not as far along the developmental curve as they are.
It also helps that both realize their place on the organizational depth chart could be compromised by straying from the lessons they've absorbed to this point in their pro careers.
"They've done a good job of instilling good habits in me for three years," Bortuzzo said. "They expect no difference out of me playing here."
Responsible play isn't all the Baby Penguins expect to get from Bortuzzo and Strait while they're on the roster. Their willingness to work and attention to detail are traits Hynes hopes will provide a template for less-experienced prospects playing in the NHL now.
"It's great to have those two guys here, and the reason for that is the type of character they have," he said. "They're great team guys, they're good leaders for our young players.
"The way they practice, the way they play sets a tremendous example for how we want to do things.
"It's a good opportunity for those guys to continue to develop their games, so that when the lockout ends -- if and when the lockout ends -- they're at a level where they can go to [the Penguins' camp] and really make a statement that that's where they belong, full-time."
NOTE -- Rosenborg Ishockeyklubb, a Norwegian team that struck a deal with Florida forward Jack Skille Thursday, announced it has reached an agreement for Penguins defenseman Deryk Engelland to play for it during the NHL lockout. The team website said Engelland will not receive a salary, but will have the value of his NHL contract insured. Engelland, who skated at Southpointe Friday, is scheduled to make his Norwegian debut Thursday.

Until Sat Mar 9
Be the first...
Tue Jan 29 2013
The title's exclamation mark seems wrong given the weedy grisaille of many of Richard Artschwager's portraits, sorry, Portraits! Yet this peppy punctuation point was a favourite motif of the American artist whose death, just a couple of weeks before this show opened, robbed contemporary art of one of its great nonconformists – an indefatigable dismantler of objects and images, values and beliefs who spoke the languages of conceptualism, minimalism and pop in pithily poetic sentences.In fact the exhibition title makes perfect sense. On display are portrait paintings and a three-dimensional exclamation mark, which resembles a bloated bottlebrush. The paintings are bafflingly contradictory. Sensitive figure studies such as the ghostly 'Self Portrait with Green Background' (2009) draw you in only to repel with pockmarks and machine-made stippling. In place of painted surface texture, with its noble intimations of the hard-won image, Artschwager gives us imitation – mass produced supports like Celotex insulation board – and a weak drizzle of paint. He then sets his images in thick, often colourful, frames to emphasise the kind of physical heft the images themselves resolutely lack.The strategy is deliberately discomforting. An artist who embraced Formica, calling it 'the great ugly material, the horror of the age', Artschwager rubs our noses in the fake but never just for the sake of confrontation. Running through his work is a sense of things not being quite what they seem that, mirroring a world of dodgy bankers and burgers, gains a darkly comic momentum. All plastic bristles on the outside, solid mahogany (we're told) within, Artschwager's exclamation mark sculpture is typical of his back-to-front, inside out take on things. It's both a showstopper and a warning sign – playful and, with a rock solid core, perhaps even a little hopeful.

A'mazing in the Motor City
The other day my friend KW sent along an update on the progress at the Penrose Art House & Art Gardens. Being that I'm a fan of labyrinths, I'm happy to pass on these photos of the new Penrose Meadow Maze, designed and created by the "maze team" below....
The Penrose Art House & Art Gardens are affiliated with Growtown.org an organization that is devoted to finding solutions to:
"Food insecurity, high unemployment, poverty, vacant land and fragmented neighborhoods act as barriers to opportunity. These critical issues face post-industrial cities like Detroit. GrowTown provides the framework and support to build enabling spaces and connections that make the growth of dynamic and sustainable communities possible – from the ground up. Post-industrial cities like Detroit are rich in land and infrastructure, but poor in capital. Urban farmers, activists, entrepreneurs, and innovators are scattered over a vast landscape. GrowTown offers a ToolBox of low-cost, adaptable solutions to harness positive community energy into distinctive centers of growing community..."
All in all some a'mazing work I'd say. Well done!

Photo Credit: Lunar & Planetary Institute
Last Friday night we set up the telescope in the driveway. A warm summer night, the recent dry spell held the mosquitoes off as well as could be expected. The stars don't really start to appear until after nine o'clock, so we passed the time, map in hand, observing features on the half-Moon, hanging low and clear in still-blue southwest sky.
Last Friday morning the space shuttle Atlantis took off on the last shuttle mission. On the radio earlier there were a few stories about this final launch, the end of this program. It's a bittersweet moment for many people who will lose their jobs, who had great pride in their work. I'll never live long enough to know, but I wonder if this event marks the end of the "American Half Century" - that span of time from the end of World War II to roughly 2008 when the bottom dropped out?
When I was a child the space program captivated me. The Gemini and Apollo launches caused everyone to pause to witness the moment, broadcasted live on all three networks.
But if the space program of the 60's was the Gold Medal at the Olympics the shuttle program of the last 30 years was the Chicago Cubs. Steady, but no excitement. We'd mourn the terrible accidents of course, but I'd wager that more people got excited by Voyager, Hubble, and Mars Rover missions than by the shuttle program.
But NASA was something Americans could be proud of, even when other aspects of our society left us disappointed and cynical. Sure, maybe there was some propaganda peppered in but didn't it make us feel like we could do what we set out minds to? And that's what hung in my mind Friday, that maybe the United States says it is only closing one chapter, but maybe it's putting the entire book back on the shelf.
It crossed my mind that the shuttles flew for 30 years - how come we never upgraded them the way we do cars or computers? (Oh, I'm sure there were many improvements along the way - I'm not being critical) Maybe this is as good as it could get? I have no doubt that a new vehicle was needed, but I wonder now if it is likely to be built? These things take a rare combination of momentum, money, and political will. I just don't see these stars lining up in this country anytime soon.
Let's face it - we live in a different world today. The very tools that the space program helped to develop show how many aspects of the global environment now deteriorate. Perhaps it is time to focus out attention closer to home. It will be like a stay-cation. Oh sure, we'll pop off the occasional robot to chase an asteroid for fun, and we'll hopefully be able to afford to keep our military and communications satellites humming along.
But for now, I think Major Tom has clipped wings.
From the suburbs of Chicago one can see through the lens of a modest telescope craters, mountain ranges, and even individual peaks on the Moon. Our little neighbor in the sky is amazing and beautiful, but it is devoid of life. I'm told there are some American flags plunked in the dusty soil up there. Only time will tell if that was our high water mark.

What a wonderful cruise, picturesque scenery, marvellous commentary & great value for money on the morning cruise. Recommend to all Tassie visitors, a delightful way to spend a morning.
We did the 50 minute cruise and found it to be informative and relaxing, thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The guide was very informative and knowledgeable. Loved the cruise.
Did the 4 hour lunch/wine tasting cruise. Great value for money. Could not believe how much food was available. Wine tasting and boags beer tasting was perhaps a bit underwhelming and not quite what we expected. The cruise was great and informative, the staff were very efficient and friendly.
Tamar River Cruises have a variety of river cruises to suit your budget and available time. A great way to see the Tamar River and the wildlife that lives on or around the river. Also a great way to see the old port of Launceston. Great service, and the very friendly and knowledgeable crew gave us a nice quiet afternoon's... More
We did the 2 and a half hour morning cruise with morning tea and wine tasting and it was a very relaxing and enjoyable way to see the Tamar Valley. The food was really good, lots of muffins, pastries and cookies and filter coffee, much better than expected, based on other cruises I have been on elsewhere. The commentary was... More
Walking distance form city centre. We did the 50 minute tour on our last day, I would recommend "do this on day one". The trip and excellent guide's information and understanding of Launceston and it's history will assist you in your visit. Reasonably priced and highly recommended.
We went on the 4 hour 'Batman Bridge Luncheon Cruise' which travels through the Cataract Gorge and through Launceston's riverfront precinct. The boat is very neat and comfortable. Our hosts were very professional, friendly and knowledgable. We were provided with morning tea, coffee, muffins, fruit cake and biscuits. Lunch was an assortment of breads with a wide range of fillings,... More
I took the four hour afternoon cruise from Launceston to the mouth of the Tamar following an initial short trip up the Cataract Gorge. I very much enjoyed the informative commentary. The riverside scenery slipped gently by whilst having an excellent afternoon tea with coffee and local wine. Wildlife observed along the way included seals and sea eagles. As a... More
We did the morning discovery cruise up to Rosevears in the Tamar Valley as well as going up into Cataract Gorge. It was a relaxing way to see the area without having to drive. The commentary was informative and interesting and the captain even stopped to give us a good look at a sea eagle in a tree on the... More
We took the 4 hour cruise on the Tamar River and thoroughly enjoyed it. The boat was clean, the staff were friendly and efficient, the captain was informative and very capable and the food was good and plentiful. We did the cruise the day after we drove through the Tamar Valley. It was not repetitive since the views from the... More

Annoying Boise State
They were waiting in line to buy train tickets, a cluster of genteel souls dressed in red, wrestling with the MARTA ticket machines in Buckhead as if performing some kind of advanced calculus. They wore halter tops and cocktail dresses and golf shirts and scarlet pants patterned with little English bulldogs, and they toted leaky Styrofoam coolers overflowing with domestic beer. They filed down the stairs in a long, sloppy line that just kept growing. Chants of "Go Dawgs" echoed through the station. "If this game had been in Boise instead of Atlanta, we would have bought out their whole stadium," one of them said. "We could sell two-hundred thousand tickets a game if they'd let us."

In the past, I used Colin Coller's CopySourceAsHtml in Visual Studio.NET 2003. Once Visual Studio 2005 was released, Derick Baily and Jason Haley released a modified version and installer for it. I downloaded it and used it since. But it seems Colin has updated his version since june 11th.
I've just uploaded the first official release of CopySourceAsHtml for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. This release has a leaner, meaner, refactored codebase that fixes a few minor defects and takes advantage of new features in Visual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0. This will be the codebase that future releases will be built from.
Download it here.
As seen in the previous article, we need an address, binding and contract to complete the WCF ABC. We'll start at the contract.
A contract is defined explicitly, via a class. You add a [ServiceContract] attribute to the class. All methods you want to expose in your service, you mark as [OperationContract], as methods are called operations in services.
public class Hello
string HelloWorld()
return "Hello world";
string HelloComputer()
return "Hello computer";
The operations are defined explicitly, a Service Orientation tenet. HelloComputer won't be visible by consumers of our service; it isn't marked with an attribute. The HelloWorld operation however is, even though it's private inside the .NET World.
InterfacesWe prefer however, to have an interface for our contract and have our actual service implement the interface. That's because
It's always best to have an interface and implement it. The attributes also must be specified in the interface.
public interface IHello
string HelloWorld();
string HelloComputer();
public class Hello : IHello
string IHello.HelloWorld()
string IHello.HelloComputer()
In the next article I'll show you how you can host this service. In the future we'll also consume the service and I will try to tell more about contracts and versioning.

I'm currently using Omea Reader by Jetbrains for all my RSS subscriptions. But after re-installing my laptop and installing the latest Omea Reader, some weird indexing bug occured. The bug is fixed in version 2.2, which is still beta, but can be downloaded here. Unfortunatly the link is broken. I've sent emails to about 8 departments inside JetBrains, but only some nice lady called Daniela Vokalova from sales replied that she'd forward the mail.
But since Internet Explorer 7 has built in RSS Support, I'd thought I'd give it a try. First things that I've noticed:
So I booted Outlook 2007 again and was notified that I could merge Outlook and IE7 RSS Feeds. I did and decided to check out the RSS functionality in Outlook. Great, it provides OPML imports. Unfortunatly only in the root, so I had to move every BloggingAbout.NET weblog into a new folder.
As every weblog was newly inserted, all items were unread. I right-clicked the folder I had moved all weblogs in, selected "mark all as read", and nothing happened. You have to right-click every feed seperatly. You can't ctrl- or shift-select mutliple feeds.
So I hope JetBrains soon fixes the link, because I think I'll stick to Omea Reader.
UpdateI've received mail from JetBrains that the link is fixed and an even newer version was uploaded. My weird indexing bug is now gone and I'm a very happy Omea Reader user again! Download the EAP here.
I want to begin with a conceptual explanation about services. A service always has at least one endpoint, but can have multiple. A client normally communicates with only one endpoint. A plain-old-webservice only has one endpoint and communicates via HTTP and Text/XML. The picture below shows a service with three endpoints. Notice the ABC.
There are a few articles about the WCF ABC's (1, 2)but the short story is that you always have to remember:
I'll try to explain them, they'll get more sense once we advanced in posts.
In the next articles I'll explain how you can build a service while using the ABC.
I'm starting a series of posts about Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). The goal of the series is to introduce WCF to everyone who hasn't had the opportunity to experience WCF, for whatever reason. While other articles sometimes are too long, I want to keep them very short. That way you're able to read them before your workday begins or perhaps just before you shut down. :-)
From every post I'll refer to this post and I'll keep an index here so you can easily find your way.

Yesterday was a great day for our family, as my son 'Bart' was born at 17:12. With 3650 grams and 53cm long, pretty tall for our standards. My wife and kid are great and just came home this morning. My other two daughters, Naomi and Emma still have to get used to him, although they've already given him a small kiss, very carefully. Here's a picture of our youngest member.
Logik! was the one who started with a wish list for Community Server 3.0. I don't know if others have picked this up, but I have some wishes for myself. Let's see:
That's about what I can think of. I already can't wait for Community Server 3.0.
I was browsing Google, got an MSDN link, clicked it, and got the folloing error.
Strange though that CustomErrors are turned. Perhaps someone's fixing it from a remote location and turned if off to view the error himself! ;)
Anko, my employer and colleague, became official Regional Directory today. The idea is to 'evangelize' .NET and other Microsoft technologies. I'm not sure what Microsoft and .NET have to do with the Bible, but as evangelist literally means 'bringer of good news', that's probably what Anko does. :-)
Congrats Anko.

Tests and diagnosis
By Mayo Clinic staffYour doctor will want to know about your past reactions to penicillin and may examine you to identify or exclude other medical problems. Unless you require penicillin — either because it's the only effective antibiotic for a life-threatening condition or because you're allergic to other antibiotics and have few treatment options — your doctor may prescribe another antibiotic.
Your doctor may recommend you be tested for penicillin allergy if:
- You were allergic to penicillin in the past, but possibly are no longer sensitive to the drug
- You require penicillin for treatment
- Your doctor wants to keep you from taking a stronger antibiotic than your condition requires
Because of the risk of anaphylaxis, testing for penicillin allergy should only be done by an allergist in a hospital or doctor's office.
Skin test
This test, which can determine your sensitivity to the drug, involves the following:
- A small amount of penicillin is injected into the skin of your forearm or back.
- If you're allergic to the particular substance being tested, you develop a red, raised bump or reaction.
If the skin tests to penicillin are negative, your doctor may recommend penicillin or a related antibiotic. If the skin test to penicillin is positive, most likely your doctor will recommend that you continue to avoid penicillin and related antibiotics.
Blood test
Although blood tests are available for some types of allergic reaction, there aren't currently any reliable blood tests to diagnose a penicillin allergy.

Gary Sims is a freelance Linux/FreeBSD consultant and writer from the UK and has been working with open-source software since the mid 1990s.
He first came in to contact with open source software while completing his degree in Business Information Systems. His first job after university was with Digital Equipment Corp. While developing enterprise software for DEC on its UNIX platforms he became more and convinced of the benefits of open source and open-source Unix-like operating systems like Linux and FreeBSD.
After leaving DEC he became a software contractor and after moving to Romania in 2003 he became a freelance Linux/FreeBSD consultant and writer and started publishing articles for the Open Source Technology Group (owners of Linux.com and SourceForge.net). This then led to him writing his first book.

A new experimental setup dedicated to the measurement of soft-x-ray magnetic absorption spectroscopy and soft-x-ray resonant magnetic reflectometry (soft-XRMR) is presented. XRMR is the combination of standard x-ray reflectometry with x-ray magnetic circular dichroism which provides chemical and magnetic depth profiles of layered thin-film samples. This new diffractometer is optimized for a broad variety of sample systems. Therefore a balanced design focusing on high magnetic fields, low temperatures, and full freedom of rotation has been realized in UHV.
The specular reflection of x-rays from a multilayered thin-film sample is measured in a so-called θ–2θ geometry, where the sample is rotated by an angle θ and the detector, respectively, by the double angle 2θ.
Such a measurement requires the detector and the sample to be freely rotatable and their axis to be aligned properly. Beside this general setup the experiment is intended for XMCD measurements.
The cryosample variable temperature insert (VTI) is intended to provide a large temperature range for measurements while allowing azimuthal sample rotation and measurement of the sample electron yield via the total drain current.
A broad variety of sensors and detectors is included in the experiment in order to be able to measure not only the specular reflection but also absorption and fluorescence from the sample.
To be able to measure magnetic reflectivity curves, element selective hystereses, and dichroic x–ray absorption
spectra, it is necessary to apply an external magnetic field to the sample. This field should be fast switching and freely scalable. Two field coils with yoke setup are used to achieve this.
The key features and improvements of the system can be summarized as follows:


text: Many graduate students continue to be regarded as "apprentices" despite the fact that they are expected to design and teach their own classes, serve on university committees, and conference and publish regularly. The Chronicle of Higher Education reports that the attrition rate for American Ph.D. programs is at an all-time high, between 40% and 50% (higher for women and minorities). Of those who finish, only one in three will secure tenure-track jobs. These statistics highlight waste: of millions of dollars by universities and of time and energy by students. Rather than teaching graduate students how to be graduate students, then, the guide prepares them for what they really seek: a successful academic career.

Maxwell, Ann Marie
ANN MARIE Maxwell is the sectoral manager for the U.S. consumer retail market at Enterprise Ireland, the government organization responsible for the development and growth of Irish enterprises in world markets.
Maxwell is based in the Boston office, and has the responsibility of managing a portfolio of companies focused on building their exports to the U.S. market. In this role, she supports Irish companies with entry and/or expansion in the U.S. consumer retail market.
Engaging with individual client companies, she develops short, medium and long-term strategies, and on a sectoral level she creates and implements multi-client activities to promote the consumer retail client base in the marketplace.
Prior to joining Enterprise Ireland in 2004, Maxwell served for three and a half years with the Consulate General of Ireland in Boston. Previous to her consular work, she resided in Ireland where she began her career in business development with a consumer products/retail firm.
A native of Co. Mayo, Maxwell attended GMIT in Ireland and Quincy College in Massachusetts, earning a degree in business.
Maxwell moved to Boston in November of 2000. Her parents originally met and married in the city and had four children there before returning to Ireland in the late 1970s.
"Having lived in the U.S. for almost 11 years now, my appreciation of my Irish heritage only grows stronger," says Maxwell.
"Sometimes when I return home to Louisburgh, I notice my surroundings as if it were the first time I have ever seen them -- it's like I'm a tourist in my hometown.
"When you look out the back door of my family home you can see Croagh Patrick where St. Patrick fasted for 40 days, and the view from the front door is Clare Island, the home of the Pirate Queen Grainne Uaile. Steeped in this rich history and beauty, I could only be proud of where I come from."
