Description This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 665,180 filed Mar. 9, 1976, now abandoned. 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a breakdown preventing circuit for preventing a load from being broken down by a reverse bias when the load is connected to a power source with its positive and negative terminals confused. 2. Description of the Prior Art In electronic equipments adapted for connection with external power sources or adapted to accommodate therewithin internal power sources such as electric cells or the like, it is desirable to provide a breakdown preventing circuit for preventing the breakdown of the electronic equipment (particularly, the breakdown of semiconductor elements or the like employed in the electronic equipment) when the power source is connected at the opposite polarity to the prescribed polarity for the electronic equipment, and more particularly, for preventing the reverse voltage from being applied to the semiconductor elements forming the electronic equipment when such reverse voltage has been applied to the electronic equipment. FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings shows an example of such electronic equipment, in which reference numeral 11 designates a logic tester having a probe 12 for contacting any desired point on a digital device 15 and a sensor circuit 13 comprising TTLICs (Transistor Transistor-Logic Integrated Circuits) for detecting whether the point contacted by the probe is at a level corresponding to logic "0" or at a level corresponding to logic "1", thereafter converting the detection signal into light or sound which provides an alarm. Such logic tester has no power source accommodated therewithin, but it is supplied with power in such a manner that conductive clips 19 and 20, attached to the tester, may be clamped onto lines 17 and 18 through which the voltage of a power source 16 contained within the digital device 15 may be supplied to a digital circuit 14 to be tested. In such logic tester 11, there may occur a risk of the power introducing clips 19 and 20 being connected to the lines 17 and 18 with the polarities of the two clips confused by mistake, and such wrong connection would result in breakdown of the transistors forming the ICs within the sensor circuit 13. To avoid such breakdown, a diode 23 may be connected to the line 21, as heretofore usually employed for the wrong connection preventing means with electronic equipments. Such diode 23, as seen in FIG. 1, ensures the source voltage to be properly applied to the sensor circuit 13 when the power source is properly connected to the clips 19 and 20, and it prevents the voltages of wrong polarities from being applied to the sensor circuit 13 whenever the power source 16 is connected at wrong polarities, namely, the clip 19 is connected to the line 18 while the clip 20 is connected to the line 17. Such use of the diode prevents the breakdown of the semiconductor elements, which would otherwise result from wrong connection, by a very simple arrangement. However, when voltages of proper polarities are applied to the sensor circuit 13 which is a load, the forward voltage drop in the diode 23 will be 0.7V or more if it is a silicon diode, and 0.4V or more even if it is a germanium diode. For example, if a digital device using a TTLIC which interfaces the power source is connected to a logic tester also using a TTLIC which forms the load, the tolerance of a TTLIC for the power source fluctuation is 5 to 10% of the source voltage. More specifically, the tolerance is 5.25 (5.5) V to 4.75 (4.5) V, since the source voltage of a TTLIC is 5V. Therefore, in the case as shown in FIG. 1 wherein the silicon diode 23 is added to prevent the breakdown resulting from a wrong connection, the voltage drop of the diode causes the voltage supplied to the load or the sensor circuit 13 to drop to 4.3V or less and this leads to a disadvantage that no TTLIC can be used in the load 13. To prevent the breakdown from occurring where the voltage drop is small and a wrong connection is made, use may also be made of such a circuit as shown in FIG. 2. Therein, reference numeral 24 designates a transistor (TOSHIBA product, 2SB434), of which the emitter is connected to a clip 25 which should be connected to the positive terminal of the power source, the collector is connected to a sensor circuit 13 which is a load, and the base is connected through a resistor 26 to the sensor circuit 13 and to a clip 27 which should be connected to the negative terminal of the power source. In FIG. 2, reference numerals similar to those in FIG. 1 designate similar members, and it is to be understood that the circuit of FIG. 2 is applied to the digital device 15 as in FIG. 1. Operation A, this circuit will now be described. When a forward voltage is applied to the base of the transistor 24 to cause a certain quantity of base current IB, say, 600 μA, to flow, the transistor 24 conducts to supply the voltage to the load 13. Assuming that a current of 30 mA is applied to the load 13, the voltage drop in the transistor 24 will be the saturated collector-emitter voltage VCES1 of the transistor 24 as shown in FIG. 5 and this voltage drop will become smaller to some extent, say, about 0.15V, if the transistor is the aforementioned 2SB434 (in most transistors, such saturated voltage is 0.2V or less). However, it is of course preferable that such voltage drop be further smaller. In FIG. 5, the dotted curves are the characteristic curves illustrating the relationship between the collector-emitter voltages of the FIG. 2 transistor 24 (2SB434) with its base current prescribed as 600 μA, 500 μA, 400 μA, 300 μA, 200 μA and 100 μA and the current conducted to the load 13. Nevertheless, should the clips 25 and 27 be reverse-connected to the lines 17 and 18, the transistor 24 whose emitter-base withstanding voltage is aslow as 5V (in most transistors, such withstand voltage is about 4 to about 6V) will breakdown to apply a reverse voltage to the load 13 if the voltage of the power source 16 is higher than the withstanding voltage of the transistor. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a circuit for preventing breakdown resulting from a wrong connection of the power source which has a further smaller voltage drop than in the conventional circuit of this type. It is another object of the present invention to provide such a circuit which has a higher reverse withstanding voltage. It is still another object of the present invention to provide such a circuit which enables a power source such as electric cells or the like to enjoy an extended service time. Other objects and features of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following detailed description of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. FIGS. 1 and 2 are circuit diagrams showing examples of the prior art circuit for preventing breakdown resulting from a wrong connection. FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram showing the inventive circuit for preventing breakdown resulting from a wrong connection. FIG. 4 diagrammatically shows the equivalent circuit for the circuit of FIG. 3. FIG. 5 is a graph illustrating the characteristics of the voltage conducted to the load and the collecter-emitter voltages in FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 6 is a graph for illustrating the length of service time of the electric cell. FIG. 7 is a diagram of a circuit of the present invention applied to a logic tester. Referring to FIG. 3, there is shown an inventive circuit for preventing breakdown resulting from a wrong connection of a power source. In this circuit, a clip 28 for conducting the positive voltage is connected through a line 29 to the collector C of a transistor 30, and the emitter electrode E of the transistor 30 is connected to a terminal 31 for applying the positive voltage to a first load which comprises a sensor circuit 13. A clip 32 for conducting the negative voltage is connected through a line 33 to a terminal 35 for applying the negative voltage to the first load which is the sensor circuit 13, and a second load 34 is connected between the base B of the transistor 30 and the line 33. In FIG. 3, the reference numerals are similar in significance to those in FIG. 1, and the circuit of FIG. 3 is applied to the digital device 15 of FIG. 1 in the same manner as that shown in FIG. 1. In the arrangement of FIG. 3, the base-emitter junction and the base-collector junction of the transistor 30 may respectively be considered to form diodes and thus, there is provided an equivalent circuit as shown in FIG. 4. If the source voltage is Vin, the base-collector voltage is Vbc, the collector-emitter voltage is Vce, the voltage applied across the load 34 is V2 ', and the voltage applied across the load 13 is V2, then the voltages at the respective parts will be: V2 '=Vin-Vbc V2 =Vin-Vce As shown, the base-collector voltage Vbc is about 0.7V, being equal to the voltage drop in the diode. Operation of this circuit will now be discussed. When the voltage Vin is applied between the power source connection terminals 28 and 32 of the circuit, a current IBR flows through the collector-base of the transistor 30 to the load 34. When this occurs, the collector-base junction of the transistor is in the forward direction. Also, the flow of the current IBR causes a current IC, which is β' times (two to ten times) the current IBR to flow through the collector C and emitter E of the transistor 30 and through the load 13. In this case, the collector-emitter voltage drop VCES2 is determined by the base current and the current conducted to the load 13 and, if the transistor 30 is the aforementioned 2SB434 and for example, if the base current is 10 mA and the current conducted to the load 13 is 30 mA as in the case of FIG. 2, then the voltage drop VCES2 will be about 0.07V which is apparently smaller than said VCES1. The characteristic curves indicated by solid lines in FIG. 5 illustrate the relationships between the collector-emitter voltages and the currents conducted to the load 13 when the base current IBR of the transistor 30 in FIG. 3 is prescribed as 10 mA, 8 mA, 6 mA, 4 mA and 2 mA, respectively. It will thus be seen that the arrangement as shown in FIG. 3 ensures the source voltage to be supplied to the load 13 only with a slight voltage drop involved when the power source is connected in the forward direction. In the breakdown preventing circuit, the transistor 30 must be used under its saturated condition and thus, the values of the first and the second load must be set so that the base current and the current conducted to the load 13 may be such that the rising portions of the characteristic curves indicated by solid lines in FIG. 5 (the non-flat portions of the curves in the graph) are used. Whenever the positive and negative terminals of the power source are reverse-connected to the clips 28 and 32, the reverse withstand voltages between the collector and the base and between the collector and the emitter, of the transistor 30, are sufficiently high, say, 50V (in the ordinary transistors, such withstand voltages are also sufficiently high, say, 30 to 150V), and the transistor 30 will never break down for any lower voltage of the power source 16, as a result of which no current may flow to the loads 13 and 34 and the application of the reverse withstanding voltage to these loads may be prevented. In the breakdown preventing circuit according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3, the collector-emitter voltage drop Vce is of the order of 0.1V at the greatest and the collector-base voltage drop Vcb is about 0.7V at the greatest, and this leads to an advantage that where an electric cell is employed as the power source, the service life thereof is longer by 10 to 20% than in the conventional breakdown preventing circuit utilizing the ordinary diode as shown in FIG. 1. This will be described by reference to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 illustrates the relationship between the electromotive force and the lapse of service time of the cell which comprises an alkaline manganese cell, for example. Curve 35 represents the electromotive force characteristic of the cell, wherein the straight solid line 36 represents the necessary voltage VA to be supplied between the clips 19 and 20 in FIG. 1, and the broken line represents the necessary voltage VB to be supplied between the clips 28 and 32. Now, if a voltage of 4V must be applied across the load 13 in FIGS. 1 and 3, a voltage VA =4.7V must be supplied between the clips 19 and 20 in FIG. 1 because there is a voltage drop of 0.7V resulting from the diode 23. On the other hand, in FIG. 3, a voltage VB =4.1V need only be supplied between the clips 19 and 20 because the collector-emitter voltage drop of the transistor 30 is about 0.1V at the maximum. Thus, as will be apparent also from FIG. 6, where the circuit of FIG. 1 is used, the cell can only be used until the point of intersection is reached between the curve 35 and the straight line 36, namely, the point A on the abscissa representing the lapse of service time of the cell, whereas when the circuit of FIG. 3 according to the present invention is employed, the cell can be used until a farther point B is reached, and this is highly effective to increase the service time of the cell. Since, in the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3, the collector-emitter voltage drop is 0.2V while the collector-base voltage drop is about 0.7V and thus, the voltage applied to the load 34 is necessarily smaller than the voltage applied to the load 13. This permits the load 34 to employ circuit elements operable at a lower voltage than in the load 13. FIG. 7 more particularly shows the logic tester to which the present invention is applied. This logic tester is to be used with a voltage source 16 of 5-15V in the digital device 15 shown in FIG. 1. The signal introduced through the probe 12 passes through an impedance transforming circuit 38, whereafter the signal is applied to a comparator circuit 40 which compares the signal with the positive voltage introduced from the source 16 through the clip 28 to thereby determine whether or not the former signal is at the level of logic "1" (voltage drop has already occurred due to the diode 39). Whenever the applied signal is "1", the comparator circuit 40 produces a predetermined output. Designated by 41 is a comparator circuit which compares the said signal with the positive voltage introduced from the source 16 through the clip 28 to thereby determine whether or not the signal is at the level of logic "0" (voltage drop has already occurred due to the diode 39). A part of the aforesaid signal is applied to the latter comparator circuit 41 which produces a predetermined output whenever the signal is at the level of logic "0". Since these comparator circuits 40 and 41, as already described, are designed for use with a digital device having a source voltage of 5-15V, they compare the source voltage of the digital device 15 and the level of the applied signal to thereby determine whether the latter is "0" or "1", and produce a signal at a predetermined level corresponding to the logic "0" or "1". The outputs of such comparator circuits 40 and 41 are applied to a logic circuit 42 which comprises a TTLIC (SN7403 produced by T.I., Inc.) including NOR and NAND gates therein. After the two outputs are applied to the NOR gate, the output of this NOR gate is applied to one input terminal of the NAND gate while the output of an oscillator circuit 43 oscillating at audio-frequency is applied to the other input terminal of the NAND gate. Thus, at the output terminal of the logic circuit 42, the output of the oscillator circuit 43 does not appear when the output of the NOR gate is "1", but the output of the oscillator circuit appears when the output of the NOR gate is "0". Therefore, if a signal of logic "1" is introduced by the probe 12, a speaker 44 will produce no sound upon application of the logic circuit output to the speaker 44, whereas if a signal of logic "0" is introduced, the speaker 44 will produce a sound corresponding to the oscillator frequency in the oscillator circuit. A predetermined source voltage is applied to the logic circuit 42 and the oscillator circuit 43 and application of such voltage is effected through the breakdown preventing circuit of the present invention. More specifically, the voltages introduced through the clips 28 and 32 are made into a constant voltage by a well-known constant voltage circuit 45, and then applied to the transistor 46 according to the present invention. The logic circuit 42 as a load is connected to the emitter of the transistor 46 and the oscillator circuit 43 as a load is connected to the base of the transistor. The logic tester shown in FIG. 7, like that shown in FIG. 1, is also applicable to the digital device 15. In the foregoing embodiment, the breakdown preventing circuit of the present invention has been shown as applied to a logic tester, whereas it will be apparent that the invention is not restricted to the application to such device but is equally applicable to any electronic equipment which will require prevention of a wrong connection of the power source.

Super League: Daniel Holdsworth seals last-gasp win for Hull FC against Wigan Warriors
Last Updated: 30/08/13 11:03pm
Daniel Holdsworth: settled game in Hull's favour in the final minute
Daniel Holdsworth kicked a pair of drop goals in the final two minutes as Hull FC beat Wigan Warriors 34-33 at the DW Stadium, a reversal of the result of last week's Challenge Cup final between the same sides.
The visitors led 12-6 thanks to tries from Jason Crookes and Tom Briscoe, with Andy Powell's first try in rugby league sandwiched in the middle, but Ben Flower and Ryan Hampshire crossed in the closing stages of the first half to give the Warriors a 16-12 interval lead.
The second half was end to end with Wigan leading 26-12 at one stage with tries for Joe Burgess and Iain Thornley but Hull refused to lie down and hit back with three scores to level it up at 26-26.
Gelling and Briscoe then traded scores and although Sam Powell dropped a goal, two from Holdsworth in the dying minutes sealed it for Hull.
The Warriors were missing a number of key personnel with coach Shaun Wane resting no fewer than 11 of his Wembley heroes, meaning youngsters like Hampshire, Powell, Burgess, Lewis Tierney and Dominic Manfredi got the chance to impress ahead of the play-offs.
Hull also made a number of changes from the Challenge Cup defeat with Andy Lynch, Gareth Ellis and Mark O'Meley absent, while hooker Aaron Heremaia was suspended.
It was Hull who struck first when winger Crookes used his strength to beat Burgess in the corner to put the visitors in front.
However, the roof almost came off the place in the 22nd minute when rugby union convert Powell crossed for his first try in league to make it 6-6.
It did not take long for Hull to recapture the lead when Jacob Miller and Holdsworth combined to send England international Briscoe in at the corner, Danny Tickle again converting to put the visitors 12-6 ahead.
Two tries in two scintillating minutes saw Wigan go from 12-6 down to 16-12 up. First, Flower crashed over from close range seconds after being held up over the line and straight from the kick-off, Gelling broke down the right and sent Hampshire racing away.
Wigan looked unstoppable and crossed for their fourth try of the game when Thornley finally offloaded to his winger and Burgess was on hand to score his first try for the Warriors.
Quick scores
Thornley himself touched down to put Wigan 26-12 ahead before Hull then did to Wigan what the Warriros had done in the first half by crossing for two quick scores.
After Jamie Shaul had won a penalty, the ball was spread wide and Crookes touched down for his second try.
Two minutes later Tierney spilled a high ball and again the ball went wide for Crookes to grab his hat-trick. Tickle converted to close the gap to four points.
Hull thought they had completed the comeback when Joe Westerman got the ball down with a close-range drive to level the game at 26-26.
In a topsy-turvy encounter, Wigan regained the lead as Hull full-back Shaul made a mess of Powell's towering bomb and Gelling was on hand to touch down. Hampshire converted to put the Warriors 32-26 ahead.
With the clock ticking down, Powell showed plenty of composure to slot over a drop goal and put the Warriors seven points clear, but it was not enough as Briscoe grabbed his second try of the night and Holdsworth then dropped a goal to level it up at 33-33.
Wigan blew the chance to win it as Powell's drop goal attempt went wide and Hull went right up the other end and won it with their own as Holdsworth saw his kick sail through the posts.

What follows is a collection of televised atrocities and disappointments, none of which were as dull as any single episode of Accidentally on Purpose. I hate AoP not simply because it's barely funny unless the sister is talking about naughty sex or the mom from the brilliant-yet-canceled Worst Week pops by to act all loopy and weird. I also hate it because after giving it the fairest shake imaginable (two full episodes on CBS.com, where they stick you with commercials and there's nothing you can do about it), I never once heard Jenna Elfman's character mention anything about her job as a film critic. Since I'm part of the extremely small minority of people in this country who get to do that for a living and I also happen to be married to a film critic, I can tell you for a fact that we occasionally have actual breakfast conversations about the merits of 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days versus those of The Death of Mr. Lazarescu. But where does Jenna Elfman stand on the burning issue of the New Romanian Cinema? We're never going to find out, so I won't be waiting around for it.
Anyway, the list, in no particular order, because it's all equally gross:
1. Five 10 p.m.'s of Jay Leno every week — This actually doesn't suck any more than it did when it was on 90 minutes later and they called it The Tonight Show. It's got all the same lazy, softball jokes and butt-smoochy product-promotion guest appearances as before. The revolting thing about it is that it unemployed tons of people who would otherwise be working behind the scenes for scripted shows in its time slot. I have friends in Los Angeles who are out of jobs because of this.
2. The Osbournes Reloaded — I like fart jokes as much as the next jerk. I even liked the sketch on the much-maligned January Jones episode of SNL where she played Grace Kelly ruining takes of Rear Window with her ass. But I expect farts from the Osbournes. It's something I can count on. I know they're coming. And back in the early '00s, I trusted them to make everything they touched, including the farts, a little more black-magicky and metal. But these farts were stiff, forced, family-audience-aimed and embarrassing, written by people who don't understand fart nuance or disgruntled fart charm. It was like watching Donny and Marie try their hand at it. It was enough to put you off farts as an entertainment option.

Hi everyone,
Going through security at the airport can be a pain, especially if you're not a frequent flyer. While most of us follow the 3-1-1 rule (quantity of liquids allowed in your carry-on) some beauty products might contain ingredients that will alert security, even if they're travel-sized.
It's up for debate, but circling the beauty sphere is this question of explosive ingredients in certain lotions. Some products have been found to contain ammonium nitrate, which is a fertilizer that's used to make illegal explosives. Yikes! Cosmetics aren't explosive themselves, but using this chemical as an ingredient could be harmful to the skin after prolonged use.
Apparently they're also harmful to the TSA because high-tech scanners at the airport have reportedly detected levels of ammonium nitrate on people's bodies who've used certain creams. This isn't to cause alarm or scare anybody about their moisturizers, but until further research is done on this topic, what do you think about it?
Have you heard about dangerous/explosive ingredients in beauty products?

Speed up your development with CodeIgniter, a fast and powerful PHP web application framework. Author Jon Peck shows how to build a magazine cataloging system while describing how to use a MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework like CodeIgniter.
Starting with the what and why of CodeIgniter, Jon introduces key concepts such as the MVC pattern and libraries by demonstrating how to create static pages, then storing and displaying magazine info in a database. Advanced topics like classes and helpers are explored to validate user input, upload files, and much more. By creating a complete system, you'll have the foundation to build your own applications with CodeIgniter.
Magazine back issues have a number of common properties. For the purposes of this course, I'm going to limit the domain to two models. One for the publication as a unifying record and the second for the issues themselves. Each publication has a unique identifier, the publication id and a publication name. Magazine back issues are a little bit more complex. They have a unique identifier, the issue id, then the unifying record to the publication, publication id. As an issue number, which is the number given by the publisher and the date of publication, and finally the path to the file containing the cover. Let's switch to the IDE and start the models for the publication and issue. Models are stored in application models, navigate there now. There's currently nothing in there, except for the index place holder. I'm going to create a new file for the publication.
Same as controller names, the file name will be all lower case. Publication.php. In the empty file, let's start a new class. The class name must be the same as the file name with the exception that it must start with an uppercase letter. So publication and all remaining letters must be lowercase. You can use an underscore as well. Each model extends the coding nighter underscore model. Class. Save the empty class, then right-click on CI_Model and go to Navigate, Go To Declaration.
Let's see what it's actually doing. It's extremely minimal. The parent constructor is just sending a log message and provides a magic get method for allowing models to access loaded classes using the same syntax as controllers. In short, I've got a pretty blank slate. But that's cool. Close the CI model. I'm going to add two properties to the publication to store both unique identifier and the name. Remember to add proper documentation. Public publication_id then public publication name. I'm going to add documentation, so this will be an integer. This will be a string.
So this will be the location unique identifier, and this is a publication name. Save because that's all that's needed for now. I'll add persistence and other functionality in a moment. Next, I'll create the model for the issues themselves. Create a new file, called Issue.php. So, class issue, extends, ci_model. I'll start off with a public issue id, which will be issue unique identifier, which is an integer. Next will be a public publication id, which is a publication unifying record, which is an integer.
Then the public issue number which is the publisher assigned issue number also an integer. Public issue, date of publication. Date that the issue was published. Let's try that as a string. And finally a public issue_cover, which is the path to the file containing the cover image.
That will also be a string. Save the issue_model. I now have two models, which is enough to keep track of a simple collection of magazines. I built this wonderful place to put things in but how am I going to get the data?

Struggling rural hospital closing doors
Another rural hospital in southwest Georgia is closing.
Stewart-Webster Hospital in Richland closed its emergency room Tuesday, and rest of the hospital will suspend operations at noon Friday.
The for-profit, 25-bed "critical access'' hospital is the largest employer in Richland, according to WRBL News.
It follows the February closure of Calhoun Memorial in Arlington, 50 miles south of Richland.
Stewart-Webster's president, Randy Stigleman, cited several factors, including high unemployment and low payments from Medicare and Medicaid, WRBL reported.
Jimmy Lewis, CEO of HomeTown Health, an association of rural hospitals, said Wednesday that the hospital serves "a remarkably remote section of Georgia.''
"It's truly a health care access disaster,'' he told GHN.
"They just ran out of cash,'' Lewis said.
The closure of Stewart-Webster, Lewis said, shows "we're on a downhill trend that can escalate because of [poor] Medicare and Medicaid payments.''
The hospital said most of its revenue comes from Medicare.
"The future for rural health care is fragile in trying to accommodate mandated health benefits without payment,'' Lewis said.
Residents of rural counties tend to have poorer health than their urban counterparts.
Stewart County, which Richland is located, ranks 158 out of 159 counties in Georgia on health outcomes in the newly released 2013 County Health Rankings, from the University of Wisconsin and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The bottom 10 Georgia counties are mainly rural, while the counties with the best health in the state are urban/suburban and are in the Atlanta or Athens areas, the rankings show.
Stigleman of Stewart-Webster said the hospital did not receive a $1 million incentive payment from the federal government for the facility's switch to electronic medical records, WRBL reported.
He said there is a possibility that the hospital could reopen in the future if officials find a way to bring in more services. Patients are being diverted to Columbus hospitals.
The community will lose about $10 million in revenue per year with the hospital shutting down, Stigleman said.

Clay Shirky gave a talk at the Berkman Center covering some of the ideas from his new book Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations. The video is online from Harvard under a Creative Commons license. The focus of the talk is Shirky's notions about the enabling power of the Net and along the way he has a lot of interesting things to say about sharing, including Napster and a variety of other collective sharings like American dubbings of Japanese anime.
There's a lot of power in sharing and Shirky points to several interesting examples of that power. The video is a bit long and definitely not high production value, but definitely worth the time. I need to read the underlying book to parse through the ideas more fully than I can get from a single talk.

BREAKING: Quotes from the Majority Opinion on Defense of Marriage Act
June 26, 2013 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Deputy Director of Marketing
"DOMA undermines both the public and private significance of state-sanctioned same-sex marriages; for it tells those couples, and all the world, that their otherwise valid marriages are unworthy of federal recognition. This places same-sex couples in an unstable position of being in a second-tier marriage. The differentiation demeans the couple, whose moral and sexual choices the Constitution protects, see Lawrence, 539 U. S. 558, and whose relationship the State has sought to dignify. And it humiliates tens of thousands of children now being raised by same-sex couples. The law in question makes it even more difficult for the children to understand the integrity and closeness of their own family and its concord with other families in their community and in their daily lives."
Supreme Court strikes down section 3 of the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act. Still waiting word on Hollingsworth v. Perry.
Show us how you're supporting marriage equality today by posting with the hashtag #time4marriage on Instagram.

1566, "an outlaw," specifically "a robber," from Irish toruighe "plunderer," originally "pursuer, searcher," from Old Irish toirighim "I pursue," related to toracht "pursuit." About 1646, it emerged as a derogatory term for Irish Catholics dispossessed of their land (some of whom subsequently turned to outlawry); c.1680 applied by Exclusioners to supporters of the Catholic Duke of York (later James II) in his succession to the throne of England. After 1689, Tory was the name of a British political party at first composed of Yorkist Tories of 1680. Superseded c.1830 by Conservative, though it continues to be used colloquially. In American history, Tory was the name given after 1769 to colonists who remained loyal to George III of England.
A political party in Britain, also called the Conservative party. In the late eighteenth century, the Tories took form as defenders of the king and stability and of established interests in Britain; they advised caution in making political and social change. Winston Churchill, Benjamin Disraeli, and Margaret Thatcher belonged to the party.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most controversial and misunderstood medical conditions today. With skyrocketing rates of diagnosis and medication treatment, it has generated a firestorm of controversy. Alarming questions have been raised about ADHD in recent years, including: * Why are one in nine children and adolescents in the U.S. now diagnosed with ADHD, with projected rates still rising? * Why are nearly 70% of those diagnosed with ADHD prescribed medication? * What is causing the fast-rising diagnosis and medication of adults? And why are over a quarter of all college students using stimulants for academic performance? * In some southern states, why are boys over 9 years old diagnosed at rates of almost one in three? * Can we trust the stories we read and hear about ADHD, even in major media outlets? * What is driving the current ADHD explosion-is it parents, doctors, schools, culture, the healthcare system, or Big Pharma? And will it end? Stephen Hinshaw, a distinguished psychologist, and Richard Scheffler, an eminent health economist, uniquely blend clinical wisdom, current science, medical and school policy, and global trends to debunk myths and set the record straight in The ADHD Explosion. They describe the origins of ADHD and its huge costs to society; the science behind its causes as well as medication and behavioral treatment; and the variation in diagnosis and treatment across the U.S. Dealing directly with stimulants as "smart pills," they describe the epidemic of medicalization, arguing that accurate diagnosis and well-monitored care could ease the staggering economic burden linked to ADHD. In innovative ways, they unravel the many poignant issues facing children, teachers, clinicians, and family members who contend with ADHD each day. The recommendations they make can improve the quality of life for those touched by ADHD and potentially improve the productivity and safety of all society.

The Pacers like to run. They also don't like defense. Unlikely for them (and J-Slow), the Jazz love to play that type of game too. It ended in an offensive explosion, with the Jazz ending up on top, 120-113. This despite being out-shot, 50% to 46%, and seeing the Pacers go 13-22 from long range (8-18 for the Jazz). The Jazz bench pitched in a pathetic 9 points, 11 boards & 4 assists, on 4-13 shooting. That could explain why the only starter to not play at least 30 minutes was… the guy on fire? Definitely a J-Slow thing. Solid nights from all 5 starters carried the Jazz (all 5 had double-digits) over the balanced Pacers (6 double-digit scorers, including Danny Granger with 30 and Mike Dunleavy with 20). The Jazz really benefited from a 25-27 night from the line via their 2 "big-men" starters.
Player of the Game
—> Mehmet Okur: The Pacers lack of defensive, um… care?… was showing as they constantly left Okur alone, no matter where he was. So he shot. And kept shooting. And he kept making them. He finished 13-19 from the field and 14-15 from the line (3-4 from long range included), finishing with a career high 43 points. He also had 9 boards, 3 assists & just 2 fouls (making the lack of playing time in a close game even more confusing).

Defense? Okur Laughs At Your Pathetic Attempt Leave a comment
Pacers Come To Town Leave a comment
Update: 'Sap is out tonight. The Jazz offensive rebounding stat will be sure to take a hit. As will the Jazz interior offense. AK will get the start.
The Pacers come to town tonight, looking for a happy ending to a 5-game road trip that really hasn't gone very well so far. They were blown out at Denver (135-115), and then after beating the Suns 113-110 on a buzzer beater, they've lost 2 straight close ones… falling to the Kobes 121-119, and then losing to the Dubs 120-117 last night.
Quick notes…
- Yet again, Ronnie P. will get the start for CJ. It almost seems like J-Slow read this, and decided to go ahead with it… without making any transactions. I don't know if that's good or bad.
- Empty The Bench joins the debate raging in Utah… 'Sap or Booze? To note, if it's one or the other… I completely agree with ETB. And important to keep in mind…
It's also hard to imagine Millsap, who will be represented by his uncle Brendrick Simmons, commanding the same asking price as the more high-profile Boozer. In fact, the difference in their projected salaries figures to be in the $4+ million per season range. Utah could use that money to shore up their bench up front or bring in another outside shooter or backup ball-handler. And while Boozer is undeniably more skilled on offense at this point, Millsap may have the greater upside being four years his junior. Millsap has already proven a superior defender.
- News of Booze finally arrived. If you care, click the link. Because I really don't. Just know this…
Given the timetable, two Jazz players privately said they didn't expect Boozer to return until after next month's All-Star break.
- It seems like the Pacers don't like defense. Will someone on the Jazz go off for 25? And will this be a shootout, like your usual Warriors game, or will the Jazz play solid D and keep it relatively low scoring?
- Some Pacers/Jazz trade ideas here and here. I'll have to pass on both of those.
- Another Jazz trade idea here, this time with the Clips. Again, no thanks… though the idea of Marcus Camby in the middle is kinda nice.
- Indy Cornrows for your Pacers talk (the game thread is currently at the top).
- Deron has been sick as of late, but practiced and will play tonight.
The Pacers feature ex-Blazer Jarrett Jack starting at PG, just in case you cared. I don't know why you would, but eh. I might as well mention a couple of Pacers, no? They also feature Danny Granger, who has been solid this year (at worst). That said 50 points seems unlikely. Just ask SLC Dunk. Oh, and they feature Roy Hibbert, someone who the Jazz were really interested in as the draft rolled around. It didn't work out, as Hibbert went a lot higher than expected, and the Jazz ended up with The Koof, who has been solid this year in the little time he gets.

1. In a large kettle bring 4 inches of water to boiling. Immerse tomatoes, a few at a time, in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain in a colander; peel, seed, and chop tomatoes. (You should have 10 cups.)
2. In the same kettle cook onion, celery, and garlic in hot oil about 5 minutes or until tender. Add chopped tomatoes, sugar, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper, if desired. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in oregano and thyme. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes more. Cool slightly.
3. In a food processor bowl process sauce, one fourth at a time, to desired texture. (Or, put sauce through a food mill.) Place sauce in a bowl set in ice water to cool quickly. Fill 3 or 4 freezer containers; seal tightly, label, and freeze up to 6 months.
4. To thaw one portion, remove from freezer container and place in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until hot, stirring occasionally.

Jesse Thorn says:
This is the new project from the guys who invented "Look Around You," Robert Popper and Peter Serafinowicz. It's a religion/television program called Tarvu.Say 'Hebbo' to Tarvuism!They're working on an Adult Swim series right now.
'preistmunty' heheh
So is that much like Scientology?
Is it possible that musician Slim Gaillard was a prot-Tarvuist? You bet your ever-lovin' vouty!
Unfortunately, Tarvusit leaders shelter and protect their priests when they are accused of tentacle raping young boys…
what really struck me about this is how easy it is to join.
I told you those stinking eight-limbers weren't to be trusted!
Bah! I refuse to be a part of any organization that would have me as a member, and considering how easy it is to join, I can be sure the chabbernaggle would be filled to capacity with all my annoying jerk-ass neighbors discussing "fantasy football" and how "Dual Action Cleanse really improved their bowel movements."
Besides, I was born a snake-handler, I'll die a snake-handler (probably sooner rather than later, now that I think about it.)
I have been talking to the one true octopus long before these noobs. I am better than you, and better than the people that are better than you.
PS thanks for the coffee on my monitor, great vid.
I apologise for the intrusion Takuan, but just how many limbs do you have? (I have 4, in varying degrees of decay…)
oh no! Tarvuism is benign.
These people want to teach Octopusology in public schools, with the rationale that it contends with the theory of Manyleggolution for how and why everything is here. Are these people insane or just stupid? Anybody with half a brain knows that Manyleggolution is the only right answer. Why, they ask? Because. That's why. I'm sick of them and they should all die horrible deaths, drowning while on fire.
From the octo's beak: "# Why do Tarvuist women wear neckties?
It is traditional for women to wear neckties, in particular, gold coloured ones on high holy days. This practice is very old, and stems from Tarvu's beautiful wife, Binni, who wore a gold-coloured piece of cord around her neck on the day of their wedding. (Amzamiviram was best man and the party got through over 500 chicken legs)."
All hail Discordia!
I was wondering more about the promotional video being like promotional videos for Scientology. My guess is that it's spot on.
The infant was the best part. Second place goes to the varied capitalization of words for emphasis.
Tarvuism, not tarvusim! A thousand funmartyns are now breakdancing in their graves because of this, oh humanity!
I dunno…Oobu kinda resembles the Flying Spaghetti Monster, only without the meatballs.
without Tom Cruise, how can they expect to be taken seriously?
Peter Serafinowicz carries more weight than Tom Cruise with me.
Fools. Dupes. Taruvism will be exposed for the fraud it is when the FSM returns.
Am wondering if Tarvu is really Zombo.com in universe A. As a recent Tarvuist, I'm starting to feel that anything is possible/impossible…
Tarvu, Tarvooti, Oboono cTooti, Mimmin, O'Tibbi noonah, MdFitty fitty noonah, Arvu, immintiBarvu, Tarvu.
(I'm not going to ~say~ it until I find out how easy it is to ~leave~)
i just pee'd myself
Check out their Wiki. I am deeply impressed by the attention to detail that this guys brings to the table in all of his projects. I mean, look at the amount of material on Tarvu.
Jives the Butler @ 15 – You speak as though this were not genuine…
it's technically an imaginary number, depending on what plane exuded into.
But can anyone tell me why are all the women wearing neckties?
anyone know why boing boing is slow as fudge today?
any other site is greased lightning, but this site, all day, slow is molasses.
how am i supposed to procrastinate??
Why ~would~ anybody want to even speak to a cephalopod?
I love this, almost a direct parody of some of the $cieno propaganda I have seen.
@17 Sumi: Regarding the neckties, I cannot say this group was attempting to parody another cult purposely but one of the LGATs (Large Group Awareness Trainings, which are called by some "non religious cults") called NXIVM (formerly known as Executive Success Programs) developed by Keith Raniere, use a neckerchief/necktie method to show 'rank'… they also have a specific handshake showing superior/inferior, you connect your right hands like a regular shake, but if shaking the hand of a superior you put your left hand under and they put their left hand over, vice versa of course if the person your shaking with is an inferior.
I'll stick to discordianism. Hail Eris.
Sounds interesting. But… is it easy to join?
sniff! upstart Cretaceous heresy!
It's a CTHULHU CULT!!!!
Vonnegut turns gleefully in grave.
