UPDATED 11.17.2011 by Julie Montanaro
Court records show that former Tallahassee Bingo owners Josh and Larry Masino entered no contest pleas this morning to two gambling violations.
More serious charges of racketeering, money laundering, conspiracy and fraud were dropped.
The men were sentenced to two years on probation, 100 hours of community service and ordered to pay restitution to 11 charities.
As part of the plea deal, the men agreed to never operate a bingo hall in Leon County again.
Prosecutor Martin Powell says he agreed to the deal because "our ultimate goal was to get them to pay the charities back and stop taking advantage of them," he said.
Powell says the Masinos were taking an illegal cut of the proceeds that should have gone to charities hosting bingo night fundraisers there.
The judge ordered more than $87,000 in restitution:
$5280 to the Suwannee River Area Council Boy Scouts of America
$5280 to the Boys and Girls Clubs
$5280 to Bond Community Health Center
$5280 to Big Bend Cares
$5280 to Catholic Charities of NW Florida
$5280 to the Center for Independent Living
$5280 to Renaisance Academies
$13,234 to the Order of the Eastern Star, Noble Lady Holmes
$13,234 to Visions of Manhood
$13,234 to Providence Community Development Corporation
$11,040 to the Tallahassee Lions Club
The Masinos were also ordered to pay more than $12,000 to the sheriff's office to cover its investigative costs.
Gregory Miller is representing the Masino's. He claims the charges all stemmed from a disagreement over who should pay for set up and clean up costs at the bingo business.
Miller says given the potential penalties his clients could have faced, he is glad this case has been settled.
UPDATED 8.25.2010 3:50pm by Julie Montanaro
Two men arrested in a bingo hall raid were back in court today.
Leo Donnelly and Christopher Jones are accused of dozens of counts of violating Florida's bingo laws.
They - and another employee - face misdemeanor charges, while the owners of Tallahassee Bingo face felonies.
Deputies say the business skimmed tens of thousands of dollars from charities who hosted games there.
The judge scheduled another status hearing for next month.
No court dates have been set yet for the bingo hall owners, Josh and Larry Masino.
UPDATED 3:35pm 8.4.2010 by Julie Montanaro
Larry Masino has now bonded out of the Leon County jail.
UPDATED 2:40pm 8.4.2010 by Julie Montanaro
A judge has set bond at $50,000 for a father and son accused of running a less than legal bingo operation.
Larry and Josh Masino spent the night in jail and returned to court today to continue their bond hearing.
Judge Nina Ashenafi Richardson needed proof that the bond money the men intended to post was not linked to their bingo business. Ashenafi Richardson ruled today that the bond money expected to be posted by Larry Masino's ex-wife was not suspect.
Bond was set at about 12:40 this afternoon. Court records show Josh Masino has already bonded out. Those same records indicate Larry Masino has not yet posted bond.
Updated 6:20pm 8-3 by Jennifer Milton
Two Bingo Hall owners turned themselves in to deputies and made their first appearance in court Tuesday.
Larry and Josh Masino appeared before Judge Nina Richardson in courtroom 2D via live video feed from the Leon County Jail.
The state requested bond be set at 50 thousand dollars and made it clear that money used to pay for the bond must not have been from illegal activity.
The bond hearing was rescheduled for Wednesday so proper paperwork could be acquired.
Defense attorney Greg Miller is representing both of the Masinos.
They each face 312 counts of violating state bingo statutes, 11 counts of grand theft and one count of fraud.
UPDATED 9:30am 8.3.2010 by Julie Montanaro
Bingo hall owners Larry and Josh Masino turned themselves in at the Leon County Jail this morning.
They each face 312 counts of violating state bingo statutes, 11 counts of grand theft and one count of fraud.
A bond hearing is set for 1pm today.
UPDATED 8.2.2010 11am by Julie Montanaro
Both Christopher Jones and Michele Young turned themselves in Friday night to face charges that they violated state bingo laws.
Jones turned himself in at the Leon County Jail at about 8:30 Friday night and was released less than an hour later on $2000 bond. He faces 52 misdemeanor counts of violating bingo statutes.
Young turned herself in at 11:45 Friday night to face four counts of violating state bingo statutes. She posted $1000 bond and was released.
Three others, Leo Donnelly and owners Larry and Josh Masino have yet to turn themselves in.
Prosecutor Nate Prince says the Masino's have had every opportunity to listen to the concerns of law enforcement and bring their business into compliance with the law. "We are where we are," Prince said. "These are not minor violations."
"We are familiar with their position," Prince said, "but their business practices did not comport with standards."
UPDATED 7.30.2010 1:20pm by Julie Montanaro
An attorney for the owners of Tallahassee Bingo calls Thursday's raid and the issuance of arrest warrants "an outrage."
David McGee represents the father and son team of Larry and Josh Macino.
"There are national standards for this," McGee said, "and Tallahassee Bingo is behaving consistently with these standards." McGee says each charity signs a contract in order to host a bingo night and that all payments were made pursuant to those written contracts.
McGee says the Leon County Sheriff's Office seized his clients' assets, not only in Tallahassee but at a similar bingo operation in Okaloosa County.
McGee says they were aware of this investigation months ago and took their concerns to the state attorney's office. He said they left with the understanding that they would be invited back to discuss the evidence before any charges would be filed. McGee said that did not happen.
McGee says there are several other bingo operations in Tallahassee that didn't like the competition from Tallahassee Bingo.
The Moose Lodge was one of the organizations that complained," said LCSO Spokeswoman Melinda McBride, but it was among many others.
McBride says the sheriff was invited to become an "honorary member" of the Moose Lodge soon after his election, but she says he has never attended any meetings. She denies that the affiliation had anything to do with this investigation.
"This was not a shakedown," McBride said. "This was a thorough investigation that's been going on for months."
The Leon County Sheriff's Office, meanwhile, released a list of the charities it considers "victims" in this case:
Ability First
Big Bend Cares
Big Bend Boys and Girls Club
Bond Community Health Center
Renaissance Center
Catholic Charities
Suwannee River Area Council Boy Scouts of America
Providence Community Development Group
Visions of Manhood
Order of the Eastern Star Noble Lady Holmes
Tallahassee Lions Club
LCSO stresses the charities are not suspected of doing anything wrong.
Updated 3:18pm 7-29
LCSO Press Release:
On Thursday 07/29/10 at approximately 11:00am The Leon County Sheriff's Office Financial Crimes Unit served a Search Warrant at Racetrack Bingo, located at 3030 S. Monroe St. in Tallahassee.
This warrant and the associated arrest warrants culminated an investigation that began in September of 2009.
Undercover investigation and interviews with both witnesses and suspects revealed Racetrack Bingo violated several sections of the Bingo Statute, F.S. 849.0931.
Two Fort Walton Beach businessmen started the company Racetrack Bingo in 2009 and modeled the organization on other operations they run elsewhere.
Larry and Josh Masino controlled the operation here in Tallahassee in order to profit personally.
The operation also committed theft from a number of local non-profit organizations.
The business solicited local non-profit organizations to sponsor bingo sessions at this location in name only.
Under Florida law, all profits from bingo operations are supposed to go to the non-profits who host the event.
Workers cannot be compensated for their time, the volunteers have to be bona fide members of the non-profit organization and the non-profit has to be a legitimate non-profit.
Several of the illegitimate non-profits involved were not eligible for bingo operations here and had full knowledge of this. Profits from the bingo operation were diverted to the benefit of the Masino's.
At no time during this investigation were any of the local non-profits suspected of wrongdoing during these operations.
Consequently, there were 11 local registered non-profit organizations that were victims.
They collectively suffered a minimum loss of $87,000.
The investigation continues and additional charges may be forthcoming.
Arrest Warrants were obtained for the following people:
Larry Masino
Charges: Organized Scheme to Defraud, Grand Theft (11 Counts), and Bingo Statute Violation (312 Counts)
Josh Masino
Charges: Organized Scheme to Defraud, Grand Theft (11 Counts), and Bingo Statute Violation (312 Counts)
Leo Donnelly
Charges: Bingo Statute Violation (49 Counts)
Christopher Jones
Charges: Bingo Statute Violation (52 Counts)
Michele Young
Charges: Bingo Statute Violation (4 Counts)
Leon County Sheriff's deputies arrived at a Tallahassee bingo hall with a search warrant in hand this morning.
WCTV arrived at Racetrack Bingo near the corner of North Monroe Street and Paul Russell Road as work crews from the jail were removing tables, chairs and more from inside.
The head of LCSO's financial crimes unit has been investigating the hall for the past six months and says it will levy hundreds of charges against the bingo hall owners as well as three other people.
Sgt. Charlie Strickland says those running the bingo hall pocketed tens of thousands of dollars that should have gone into the coffers of local non-profits.
We will bring you more details as soon as they become available.

Hi there!
Out of curiosity, does anyone know how the clamps on a Vixen GPD work? Some kind of friction coupling, I guess? Asking because once in a while I tend to forget releasing one of the clamps before attempting to manually slew the mount, thus putting unnecessary stress on the system until I notice the mistake. Just happend yesterday, and I keep asking myself how much bad I am doing to my equipment in such a case.
GPD clamp mechanics?

Flatlanders, time trialists, and triathletes rejoice. A deep clincher that is adept at slicing the wind and minimizing weight is a treasure and brought to you by Reynolds in the form of their Sixty Six Carbon Clincher Wheelset. Their 66mm is closer toward the deep end of the rim scale, and the nice thing about them is that they help you move into warp speed when you're already in the big meat and bearing down on your goal. Thanks to Reynolds' ultra light laminate, you get a light wheelset that slices into the wind like a Ginsu knife.
These rims have the same basic shape as their 66mm tubulars, just with a cavity for clincher tires to sit in. There are lots of smart design features in this shape, a strong lay-up that is very light, an aero shape that presents little obstacle to the wind, and internal spoke nipples which both strengthens the rim and improves aerodynamics. However, they upgraded the wheels to reduce drag and improve braking.
The Swirl Lip Generators are a patented Reynolds feature and are two tiny lips on either side of the arrow-head end of the V-shape aka the trailing edge. If you didn't know better, you might think they were parting lines that weren't sanded down after the rim came out of the mold. There's no sanding forgotten, and they're hardly an accident. The SLG creates turbulence that helps the airflow reattach faster behind, after passing over the rim. They also have the effect of decreasing ...awesome! The convenience of clinchers and a truly slippery aero shape plus greatly improved braking performance... sideways air force on the rim, and in so doing, make your bike easier to steer in crosswinds. This means it takes less concentration and less strength to pilot the bike, which means you can devote more concentration and more strength to going fast.
The second big change is their new CTg brake track. C is for Cryo, Tg for glass transition temperature. As you know, heat build-up is not a good thing at the brake track. For clinchers, heat build-up can lead to deformation of the rim at the brake track, which can lead to a tire literally blowing off the rim. Another worry is brake pads melting in the heat. The new CTg tracks are the result of a new resin system and a new laminate structure. In regular riding conditions, it means the brake tracks operate up to 100°F cooler than the old tracks. In other words, braking will be better, more consistent, and you'll have little to fear from braking hard on long descents.
The rest of the wheels are equally high-performance. The rims are drilled for internal spoke nipples. As the hidden aluminum nipples present less of an obstacle for the wind and the rim has smaller holes in it, it's both faster and stronger. The spokes are DT's bladed Aerolite, both front and rear. They're laced with 16 radial spokes in front and 20 cross-2 drive and radial non-drive rear. DT also makes the hubs for Reynolds. These are the 240s model -- light, strong, smooth, and durable.
All Reynolds wheel owners can buy themselves some extra peace of mind by purchasing Reynolds' two-year damage protection plan. It's called RAP, short for Reynolds Assurance Plan. The insurance means you should have little fear that a crash will ruin your wheel investment. Find out more about it on the Reynolds Cycling site.
Reynolds recommends using their plastic tire levers for mounting and removing tires. They state that other plastic levers can be used -- no metal tire levers. They also recommend their rim strip, because it's thin, which makes tire installation easier. It comes installed. A 48mm Presta valve will allow you to pump up the tires without issue. Maximum tire pressure is 150psi, though you'll probably never go this high anyway.
The Reynolds Sixty Six Carbon Clincher Wheelset comes with either a Campagnolo or Shimano/SRAM compatible freehub body, and they include a full set of Reynolds' Cryo Blue brake pads in versions to match each. Reynolds recommends only these pads as they were designed with the brake tracks; use of any other brake pads is not recommended and will void the warranty. Reynolds includes their new ultra-light quick release skewers, valve extenders, and a spoke wrench.
- Reynolds-branded DT Swiss hubs are durable, lightweight, and smooth-spinning
- Swirl Lip Generator technology increases aerodynamic performance by keeping air from sticking to the wheel's surface
- Included Reynolds Cryo Blue brake pads and improved brake track provide excellent braking performance

What wheels would you recommend for a strong cyclist (just a little out of practise at the moment due to work commitments) Currently living in Austria so riding hills and cobbles (home Perth Australia). Bought a nice top of the range Pinarello but wheels keep popping spokes.
Likes the Mavic series!
What would you recommend for 100kg guy - price no object if the wheels are top quality.
Will return to Perth at end year so back into racing then - would like light and fast
Could you give me some clues Please
BR Julia
In my opinion a person that is 100kg(220kg) that has problems with spokes yet wants a fast wheels you need to look into a hand built custom wheelset with no less than 28 spokes in the rear and 24 spokes in the front. You are not going to find this with a mass production wheel because they are not designed for you.
I would recommend Enve Composites 45 series clinchers with 28 spokes in the rear, 20 in front. Google the words 'custom wheel builder enve' to find out who can build it for you.

Scientists have discovered a small African mouse with an unusual ability to regrow damaged tissues, a find that can advance research on limb regeneration in humans.
Researchers from the University of Florida found that the African spiny mouse can regrow new body tissues following an injury.
Biologists have long studied salamanders for their ability to regrow lost limbs. But amphibian biology is very different than human biology, so lessons learned in laboratories from salamanders are difficult to translate into medical therapies for humans.
"The African spiny mouse appears to regenerate ear tissue\ in much the way that a salamander regrows a limb that has been lost to a predator. Skin, hair follicles, cartilage - it all comes back," said Ashley W Seifert, a postdoctoral researcher in UF's biology department.
"That's not the case in other mammals. Usually scar tissue forms to fill the gap created by a wound," Seifert said in a statement.
The spiny mouse also regrows tissue on its main body when injured but not as completely as it does in its ears.
"On their backs, they regrow hair follicles and skin, but the muscle beneath the skin doesn't regenerate," Seifert said.
"Autotomy in skinks, geckos and some salamanders is well known. But it is very rare in mammals, and so far we've only seen it in a few rodents that can jettison their tail,"
Seifert added.
In Mpala Research Centre near Nairobi in Kenya, Seifert documented the first known case of skin autotomy in a mammal.
Seifert used a 4mm biopsy punch, about the size of a large BB, to puncture holes in the ears of the mice to see if the animal showed regenerative capabilities.
"The results were astonishing. The various tissues in the ear grew back through formation of blastema-like structures - the same sort of biological process that a salamander uses to regenerate a severed limb," Seifert said. The study was published in the journal Nature.

The Indian airport sector is expected to attract investments of USD 12.1 billion during the 12th plan period, including USD 9.3 billion from the private sector, Union Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said today.
Singh inaugurated the fourth edition of India Aviation show here, which witnessed one of the biggest aircraft deals being signed between budget carrier SpiceJet and Boeing.
"The government has envisaged an investment of USD 12.1 billion in the airport sector during the 12th plan period (2012-17), of which USD 9.3 billion is expected to come from the private sector for construction of new airports, expansion and modernisation of existing airports and development of low cost airports," Singh said.
Stating that the rapidly expanding air transport network and opening of the airport infrastructure to private sector participation has fuelled the growth of air traffic in India, Singh said, "However, Indian air traffic density is low as compared to other countries."
India is currently the 9th largest aviation market, handling 121 million domestic and 41 million international passengers with more than 85 international airlines operating to India and 5 domestic carriers connecting over 40 countries.
"The domestic civil aviation industry has systematically evolved over the last 100 years of its existence. The sector is poised to handle 336 million domestic and 85 million international passengers by 2020, which will make the country the third largest aviation market. The commercial fleet size is expected to grow from 400 today to 1,000 by then," he said.
He further said that opening up of the sector to foreign carriers by allowing up to 49 per cent foreign direct investment was the biggest game-changer, resulting in two new scheduled airlines, Air Asia and Tata Asia, coming up.
A number of global players have entered Indian aerospace manufacturing, ground handling, training and capacity building, cargo and MRO industry, he added.
"Civil aviation Industry in India is experiencing a new era of expansion driven by factors such as Low Cost Carriers (LCC), modern airports, FDI in domestic airlines, cutting edge information technology interventions, growing emphasis on regional connectivity, increasing involvement of of private participation under PPP and the policy of developing greenfield airports..."civil aviation secretary Ashok Lavasa said during the event.
Lavasa also suggested that the states need to look at the tax structure of jet fuel.
State Governor E S Lakshmi Narasimhan, who was the chief guest, said the civil aviation policy of the Andhra Pradesh Government focuses on the development of non-hub

In 1974 several cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis were diagnosed in Jacarepaguá, Rio de Janeiro, RJ (Brazil). At that time the patients were treated, the houses and surroundings were sprayed with DDT, and this resulted in the interruption of transmission. The emergence of new cases in 1979 led to a resumption to the study of some characteristics of one of the localities (Camorim) in this area. Eighteen new human cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis and one in a dog were confirmed between June 1979 and August 1981. One thousand hundred and forty nine sand flies were collected (11.4% females and 88.6% males) with predominance of Lutzomyia intermedia (95%). The study of the human cases led to the supposition that the transmission of the disease may take place in the domiciliary or peridomiciliary environment. It is believed that, at least for the studied area, the control measures taken in 1974 were efficient for four years.

I'm trying to get up to speed on Smalltalk / Seaside. According to Wikipedia, "Seaside is a continuation-based web application framework". Coming from a Java background I'm not very familiar with continuations.
After some reading I understand continuations are used for maintaining state, whereby a snapshot of a process is saved and can be resumed later (analogous putting Windows in hibernate mode).
This is most relevant to Seaside in relation to use of the "back" button? Using code blocks and "callbacks" is NOT the same as using continuations?
I'm also trying to gauge the current importance of actually using continuations in Seaside. I'm confused because many online references to Seaside mention continuations as a key and defining feature. However, I've also found a number of articles that mention the use of continuations in Seaside is not as commonly used and not actually a key feature.
Many thanks for any helpful input in setting me straight with this!

Voice Control
Cost: 0.5
An adept with Voice Control has an amazing level of control over
the properties of her voice. The adept can change her voice's pitch,
modulation and tone at will, as well as increase her volume. This allows
the adept to mask her voice and imitate sounds within the normal
range of demihuman vocalization (i.e, no infrasound or ultrasound),
including mimicking the voices of others. This trick can be used to
defeat voice recognition; make an Opposed Test between the
adept's Con + Charisma against the voice recognition's rating,
or against the Perception + Intuition of other characters the adept is
attempting to fool. Voice Control also allows an adept to "throw" her
voice up to (Magic attribute x 2) meters away.

The Census Bureau is out with a report on how much English is being spoken in the homes of foreign-born Americans.
The data show that about half of immigrants nationwide (50.1 percent) speak English less than "very well." But that number is anywhere from 22 percent to 59 percent depending on which state you're in.
Below, we've mapped the data, with immigrants in the darker states speaking English the least:
The three states with the fewest English speakers include two that are probably no surprise — California and Texas — but the state that leads the pack might surprise you. It's Nebraska.
The state with the most English-speaking immigrants is Montana, where just 22 percent can't speak English well.
The bureau also reports that 84.6 percent of immigrant homes speak a language other than English. Texas has the most such homes, at 91.3 percent, while Montana has the fewest, at 49.4 percent.

The original Wii fit sold over 22.67 million copies and Wii Fit Plus sold 20.86 million copies, so it comes as a bit of a shock that Nintendo will give Wii Fit U for free on November 1 as a digital download. There are a few catches, of course.
First, you'll need to already own the Wii Fit Balance Board peripheral. You'll also have to have an Internet connection (to download it). Finally, you can download and use it for a month, but after that you'll have to purchase a $20 Fit Meter and sync it with the game to keep the full version. The full Wii Fit U software will be downloadable from the Nintendo eShop between November 1, 2013 and January 31, 2014.
Of course, if all of that is just too complicated for you, you can simply buy the game packaged with the Fit Meter when it releases for $50 on December 13. You could also buy the $90 bundle that features the game, the Fit Meter and the balance board. A "full-priced" digital version will also launch on February 1, 2014. The Fit Meter accessory is described as an "activity meter" that records steps taken, intensity of steps, and altitude. The data collected from the device is used to calculate calories burned and can be transferred wirelessly to Wii Fit U using the GamePad.

If you can find a 2-deck game with soft-17 rules and double after splits the casino edge off the top is about 0.17% -- which is not bad, but you will still need to spread some money to make it worth your while. For example, the Mirage in Las Vegas has this game and their penetration is about 65%. Not quite as big a spread is required for the Mirage game but it is still a tough game -- especially with their quality surveillance.
If you must play a poorly penetrated 2-decker don't expect much more than a long-term break even. You can improve on this a bit by learning Schlesinger's 18 top play variations and a bit more by learning all of the play variations possible.
On the other hand, I would rather play a 6-deck game with 2-decks cut off then butt heads with a dealer who cuts 50% in a 2-deck game. Your life as a card counter will also last a lot longer playing the shoe games!
One last comment - if you do start playing the shoes I would recommend you change your count to something like the Hi-Lo or any count that includes the Ace in the count. Shoes are not quite as exciting to play as the hand-held games but much easier to get money on the table.

MADISON, Wis. – Nik Stauskas scored 23 points, including a key three-pointer with 48 seconds left, and the Michigan Wolverines fended off a late surge for a 77-70 victory over the third-ranked Wisconsin Badgers on Saturday.
Stauskas, whose three-pointer produced a 71-67 lead, said Wisconsin defender Nigel Hayes was overplaying him.
"He kind of slid forward a little bit and I was open for a three and I just tried to be aggressive and shoot it," Stauskas said.
Caris LeVert added 20 points for the Wolverines (13-4 overall, 5-0 Big Ten Conference), who celebrated a victory in Madison for the first time since 1999.

I think this Kent State game will be a good test for us tomorrow and it will tell us a lot about the team, but I would be really surprised and disappointed if we lost. They lost a lot of good players to the NFL last year and they got torched by every BCS conference team they faced and even lost to Buffalo 41-14. Honestly, somebody convince me why I should be really worried. I know we didn't light it up last year, maybe I'm overconfident, but honestly... it's still Kent State we're talking about here.
....who was worried?
I looked at Toledo, UNI and UNLV last year as..."Pfffffffft - whatever!" teams.
All three nearly (and perhaps should have) beat us.
So...I'm gonna be a bit tense for every game this year. I will, of course, be quite surprised and disappointed if we lose.
Totally agree. This is a make or break game. The season gets no easier as time goes on. This could be the easiest game to win all season. Hey, we have to be much more disciplined and organized than we were last year. Dan spent all last year saying there was no competition and how pathetic the practuices were in the fall., i habve not heard that. And we have the non minister to help us out. My bigger concern is level of recruiting we have approached. Looks like we will have to win a few games before anyone commits.
Kent State is a biggy. If we lose, recruits will be reminded by others of our plight. Heck, Nebraska cannot even win 10 games with 4/5 stars!
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
New coach, new system, 4 wins last year all coming in the last seconds.
Yep, I'm not exactly putting this one in the win column just yet. Although the more I've looked into Kent State, the less I am worried. They might have won 6 games last year, but they had some BAD losses and no real quality win that I can see. Atleast we beat Mizzou last time out and it appears fall practice has gone fairly well and not many injuries. I'd be surprised if we lost, but I know it's a possibility.
mwitt, i was and still am worried
MAC teams make me nervous. They have this annoying habit of being better than people give them credit for.
Originally Posted by superfan

That and they are jacked up to play a Big 12 team in transition. It would be like us playing Miami FL or something to that effect.
Clark Kent State? They are not supermen. Our crying towels ought to be worth 7 points by themselves.
I wouldn't say I am worried...even in the triple OT against Toledo last year I really wasn't worried, I was sure we would(eventually)pull out a win. While I am not counting it as a win before it even begins, I am very confident(maybe overly so)that once the dust settles, we will be 1-0.
At this point i am a bit worried we don't pull this one out. We should win, but I really don't have a feel for what this team can do until I see them on the field, and I have last years debacle running though my head influencing my feelings. right now IMO I say about 80-20 we win.
What really worries me is how the fan base will react if we don't pull this one out or the UNI game. Will fans react with understanding? Or will many run the team and Chizik into the ground?
Can you imagine the disappointment if we lose this game? After all the Season Ticket sales and optimism surrounding the program?
Scary to think about.... (gulp)
The good news is that there is no f'n way Chizik and Co. will lose tomorrow night. No way. None.

That would suck some serious balls, and I think Chiz and everybody is aware of it. No way it happens.

We utilize the sharing of tasks feature as a sort of "project management". A master Task list is created (the project) and the needed tasks within that project are assigned.
Limitations we would like to see addressed.
When the "project" is shared the other users of the project cannot place any "tags" on the project. This would be useful as we would like to have each user have a different tag so we can "assign" the task to a user.
When you are in task view you can only view one task list (project) at a time. It would be nice to have a checkbox for each task list so you can view multiple at a time. Just like the way shared calenders work. When you have multiple selected that will appear in a task list-list (if you will), with a drop down arrow to the left that allows you to minimize or maximize your task list (project) and see all the task contained therein.
Maybe this could be entirely new tab in the Zimbra UI. Perhaps called Projects? :-)
Anyone have any input. I would LOVE to see this functionality.

I think I have nerve damage in my toes, or something. 2nd and third toe (counting in from big) on my left foot, and 2nd toe on my right foot get very itchy sometimes. I thought it was something fungal at first, maybe it is. I am going to lather them in coconut oil at least once a day while I'm healing my tattoo, which should be plenty of time to take care of it, if that's the cause. 2nd and 3rd toe on my left foot are very stiff and painful to bend sometimes when the itchiness flares up though. This definitely sounds like a good thing to take to the doctor, but I don't want to add more $ that I owe to the office right now. I'm wondering if I should soak them. They seemed slightly frost bitten a while back in the winter, so that may be what happened in terms of the painful stiffness. Weird that just a couple of toes froze! If it *is* fungal, I should probably clean out my boots...
I'm intrigued by this product Vitacost Thyroid Complex
Every penny is important, so I guess I should not risk it. I don't want to mess up my thyroid if there's nothing wrong with it, but I know I'm not getting iodine & manganese in my diet. I just placed an order for more Tyrosine and 5-HTP. Should keep me going for 2 more months on the 5-HTP, 3-4 on the Tyrosine. If only VitaCost had a rewards program like VitaminShoppe (not worth it because it's more expensive)! The $ I got for selling a dress will cover these supplements though
I feel a bit itchy. I am really hoping that I can keep my carbs up while I do this candida protocol from here on out. I am really hoping I can mess up a bit this weekend when we're out and about and not have another flare-up. I am really hoping that a bit of cider on Easter doesn't mess things up either! At least I know how to manage the flare-ups, right? My sex drive has been poop since late last week and I think I need a break to let things recover a bit more. At least 2 days
Oh and I purposely ate more than usual yesterday. I think I was closer to 1800 calories, but probably still under. I was still hungry after dinner, had a sweet potato, still hungry until I crawled into bed. I don't know if that's because my brain said "welp you're going to bed now so forget that" or "welp you actually weren't hungry, and now you're sufficiently distracted so the feeling is gone!"

Non-viral gene therapy is being developed for Cystic Fibrosis (CF) lung disease. However, the level and duration of expression achieved from current vectors is modest and is associated with an inflammatory cytokine response in mice and CF subjects. The response is due in part to the detection of CpG dinucleotide motifs present in plasmid DNA by toll-like receptor 9. The most direct approach to overcome this, is to reduce or completely remove CpGs from plasmid vectors. In addition to our standard plasmids, we have developed a second generation of plasmids with a 40-50% reduction in CpGs. Furthermore, third generation plasmids have been constructed with zero CpG motifs. Luciferase expressing versions of all three generations of plasmid were complexed with Genzyme Lipid 67 and delivered to the mouse lung via nasal instillation (BALB/c, n=6-10, 80µg pDNA/100µl). At 24-hours post-dosing, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for analysis of total cells, IL-12, IFN-? and TNF-?. Compared to untreated controls, mice that received first generation (pCIKLux) complexes had elevated levels of IL-12, IFN-?, TNF-? and cell infiltrates (p=0.002). Delivery of second generation, CpG-reduced plasmids did not significantly reduce any of the four markers of lung inflammation relative to pCIKLux. However, following delivery of third generation, CpG-free plasmids, levels of inflammatory cytokines and numbers of cells in the BALF were indistinguishable from untreated control mice (p=0.74). Moreover, luciferase activity in the lung was 10-fold higher (p=0.01) from these plasmids compared to first or second generation plasmids at 24-hours post-dosing with expression persisting for at least 60 days. Together, these results suggest that zero-CpG plasmids represent a significant advance in terms of safety and efficacy of non-viral delivery to the lung.

China/US: Dialogue Needs to Produce Results

The United States should use the upcoming human rights dialogue with the Chinese government to demand public and verifiable changes in policies and practices. The changes should include a commitment to hold elections to choose China's leaders.
The annual human rights dialogue is scheduled for July 23 and 24, 2012, in Washington, DC. The talks will take place in the midst of a deteriorating human rights situation in China and in the run-up to the Chinese leadership transition in late 2012.
"The crisis of self-immolations by Tibetans, stalled legal reform, and the latest disingenuous 'human rights action plans,' have been put on the agenda by the US," said Sophie Richardson, China director at Human Rights Watch. "But another round of exchanges, particularly if there is no public discussion of the talks afterward, will allow the Chinese government to say it is engaging on rights issues while putting off necessary reforms that create a country with the rule of law and respect for basic rights."
In recent months, American officials, including the US ambassador to China, Gary Locke, have publicly characterized the human rights environment there as "worsening." Over the past year, the Chinese government has sentenced peaceful critics to lengthy jail terms on charges of subversion, allowed the expansion of an unaccountable and abusive domestic security apparatus, and failed to acknowledge deepening grievances among ethnic minorities.
Rather than investigate and hold the responsible officials accountable for their roles in the July 2011 Wenzhou train crash or May 2008 Sichuan earthquake collapse, the Chinese government has instead chosen to harass and intimidate those seeking accountability. In June, the government published its new National Human Rights Action Plan (2012-2015), which retreats from the previous plan's commitment to the universality of human rights.
During the US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue in May, the US successfully negotiated the departure to the US of Chen Guangcheng, the legal activist who had sought refuge in the US Embassy in Beijing, and of his family. In a June statement marking the 23rd anniversary of the June 1989 Tiananmen massacre, the US called on the Chinese government to "protect the universal human rights of all its citizens; release those who have been wrongfully detained, prosecuted, incarcerated, forcibly disappeared, or placed under house arrest; and end the ongoing harassment of human rights activists and their families."
Many of the United States' and other governments' past human rights dialogues with China have been largely a rhetorical shell, lacking in accountability, transparency, and clear benchmarks for progress. The Chinese government often points to these dialogues as a human rights "deliverable," an end in itself, or insists that human rights issues can only be discussed in the context of a dialogue. None of the governments that pursue these dialogues with the Chinese government have established benchmarks to ensure meaningful progress.
The US has increasingly diversified the participation of US agencies in the human rights dialogue to take advantage of the many relationships the two countries have in areas such as economics, trade, and defense. The Obama administration could further strengthen US efforts on rights in China by requiring all the government agencies with regular relationships with China to raise relevant rights issues in all meetings and to regularly raise these concerns in public statements, Human Rights Watch said. Those agencies include all the relevant State Department bureaus, the United States Trade Representative, and the Departments of Commerce, Defense, and Justice, among others. Each agency should discuss these issues in media interviews, including with Chinese-language media.
"Ultimately these dialogues' value is about accountability – primarily trying to hold the Chinese government to account for some of its gross human rights abuses," Richardson said. "But it's also about the US being accountable to the constituency shut out of its own government: people in China who are struggling to defend their rights."
Human Rights Watch also called on the US to express concern publicly about the failure of the Chinese government to respect basic political rights, including the failure to hold elections to choose national leaders. A new president, prime minister, and government are expected to be announced at the end of the current five-year terms of President Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Wen Jiabao in November.
Article 25 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which China has signed but has not ratified, states that, "Every citizen shall have the right … to take part in the conduct of public affairs, directly or through freely chosen representatives [and] to vote and to be elected at genuine periodic elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret ballot, guaranteeing the free expression of the will of the electors…"
"The US and others should be calling into question the legitimacy of a process that ignores the views of more than 1.3 billion Chinese people," Richardson said. "In countries all over the world the US demands free and fair elections as the price of good relations. It has even imposed sanctions on countries that engage in sham elections. But with China all we ever hear on the subject is silence."

In querying an API that has a paginated list of unknown length I found myself doing essentially
def fetch_one(self, n):
data = json.load(urlopen(url_template % n))
if data is None:
self.finished = True
for row in data:
if row_is_weird(row):
self.finished = True
yield prepare(row)
def work(self):
n = 1
self.finished = False
while not self.finished:
n += 1
the split between
work and
fetch_one makes it very easy to test, but the signalling via instance variables means I can't have more than one
work going on at the same time, which sucks. I came up with what I think is a cleaner solution, but it involves an iterator with two "done" states, and I have no idea what to call it. I'm sure this pattern exists elsewhere, so I'd appreciate pointers (or reasons why this is stupid):
class Thing(object):
def __init__(self, gen):
self.gen = gen
self.finished = False
def __iter__(self):
return self
def __next__(self):
v = next(self.gen)
except StopThisThing:
self.finished = True
raise StopIteration
return v
next = __next__
which I'd then use like
def fetch_one(self, n):
data = json.load(urlopen(url_template % n))
if data is None:
raise StopThisThing()
for row in data:
if row_is_weird(row):
raise StopThisThing()
yield prepare(row)
def work(self):
n = 1
while True:
one = self.fetch_one(n)
if one.finished:
n += 1
so what is this Thing I have created?

Good write up in his blog...
Andy Katz's Daily Word: Ten programs that will rise in 2009-10 - ESPN
For those of you who don't want to follow the link, we're listed as one of ten teams to turn around from last year... here is the write up:
Iowa State
2008-09 record: 4-12 Big 12, 15-17 overall
Reason for optimism: Craig Brackins returns to the Cyclones, and he has the potential to be a Big 12 Player of the Year candidate and All-American. Add junior college transfer Marquis Gilstrap, and the Cyclones could have one of the best one-two scoring punches besides Kansas and Texas in the Big 12. Iowa State's Hilton Coliseum also is one of the best home courts in the country. Don't be surprised if the Cyclones knock off one of the big boys at home this season.
What could happen: The Cyclones could pluck off a few key wins -- perhaps winning at least one game among Duke, Kansas (twice) and Texas to earn an NCAA tournament berth.
What's likely to happen: Iowa State should improve to at least a nine-win team in the Big 12 and be squarely on the tourney bubble in March.
This guy loves us. He's given us props at least once a week since college hoops has become in season.
There is no reason to hate ISU unless we were constantly beating your team. I will never understand why anyone would thumb their nose at us. Glad Katz is on board.
I think the national media really wants to love ISU basketball. We just haven't given them anything to love over the last several years.
If we go 9-7 in the Big 12 and do decent in the OOC schedule, we are in the NCAA's.

New Defendant Charged in Alleged Fraud on the Philadelphia Sheriff's Department
|U.S. Attorney's Office June 26, 2013
PHILADELPHIA—Gerard Joseph, 36 years old, of La Jolla, California, is charged by indictment, unsealed today, with conspiracy and wire fraud in connection with a scheme to defraud the Philadelphia Sheriff's Office, announced United States Attorney Zane David Memeger. Joseph was arrested last night.
Joseph was in the business of buying, renovating, and selling properties in the Philadelphia area. According to the indictment, between 2007 and at least 2008, Joseph conspired with Richard Bell, charged separately, to purchase properties at Sheriff's sale for 10 percent of the sale price. Joseph would pay the 10 percent deposit on the day of the sale and pay the remaining 90 percent within 30 days of the sale. Bell, who worked in the accounting department, would remove the 90 percent payment before it was deposited into the Philadelphia Sheriff's Office bank account, thereby allowing Joseph to buy the properties for 10 percent of the sale price. Joseph would then resell the properties at a profit and would pay Bell a fee.
Between April 2007 and November 2007, Joseph purchased approximately four properties at Sheriff's sales through this fraudulent scheme, and, in June 2008, he resold two of them receiving the profit that should have gone to the Philadelphia Sheriff's Office.
If convicted of all charges, Joseph faces a statutory maximum sentence of 60 years in prison, a fine of up to $750,000, full restitution, and three years of supervised release. Bell pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation Division, the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office, and the City of Philadelphia Office of Inspector General. The City of Philadelphia Office of the Controller has also assisted the investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Sarah L. Grieb and Assistant United States Attorney Christopher Diviny.

Rated 5 out of 5�by x A GODSNED FOR MY BACK AND POSTURE! I love my Teeter Inversion Table. I feel like a new person after a few moments of stretching and Inversion. It helps undo my weary knotted shoulder muscles. I reverse gravity and literally feel my spine going "Aahhhhh". Nice plus is that it take the gravitational pull off my knees, rests my internal organs and face muscles (nature's botox). I have better posture after using this for a year. It's been the best sports equipment investment I have ever made. Can store under my bed. Table is well made, very high quality equipment made to last. May 19, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Vince85 Great product Quick and easy to assemble. Solid sturdy construction. Easy to adjust and use. Comfortable and works well. May 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Debidy awesome i love this inversion table. a friend of mine with a very bad back bought one. and she is a nurse. she loved it, it helped her back greatly. she made me try it. I liked it so much I bought my own. my posture is better. I used to crack my neck a lot. I don't as much anymore. and it helped the swelling in her ankles. I highly recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Wilbur Teeter todder Works great, in the first week I noticed improvement in my back . It came on time in good shape May 16, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by bellal70 LOVE MY TEETER. BEST MONEY SPENT i am 46,I have spinal stenosis and bulged disc and some arthritis for good measure. My pain spread across the lower part of my back and around the tops of my hips like a gurtile. also the pain would go doun my rt leag and when i would walk it would feel like dead weight. I would go shopping and would end up using the cart as a walker.I tryied the spinal injections and they didn't last and even thought maybe I need to talk to a neuroseurgent but to my surprise he didn't think I was a candidate for surgery. I asked him what he thought of the inversion tables and he said that is something I could try. I went on the Dicks sporting goods website and bought one. I use it every morning. I started off at the lowest incline 20%. When you put the teeter table together there is a strap that can keep you from going completly upside down. It has been my experience that I get a little sore when I come back to a standing position but I feel sooooo much better during the day. I have been able to walk more stand longer. This was the best money ever spent May 10, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by GK Great product! Easy assembly. Great product. Watch the video to understand how to use it properly. May 4, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Klfchem1 Well Buit I have three herniated discs and my therapist recommended inversion therapy at home in conjunction with excercises. It took about an hour to put this together and is well made. I use it three times daily with a lot of benefit. It's easy for me to get in and out of the boots now but initially it would have been nice to have the model that features a release bar higher between the legs only because I was having spasms so frequently at first, but now I get along with it well. May 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by fkp63 Awesome Teeter Inversion NXT-S Love this thing. Recently had some very severe lower back pain due to a fall. My chiropractor told me about the Teeter Hang Up and suggested that decompression would be the best way for me to get relief. I purchased one that very day. Assembly tools are supplied but they turned out to be more of a hassle than REAL tools. Adjustments for your particular body size can be a pain, but once adjusted correctly, it's an amazing experience. Watch the supplied DVD for tips on assembly and use before jumping on for the first time. Pay particular attention to the segment on adjustments. April 20, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Flyer Excellent Quality I can not believe how good a product this is. Everything about it is first class. The assembly directions are the the best and most professional directions of any product I have ever purchased in my life of 64 years.I am stunned. So, all of this before you eve get on it. It works wonderfully and safely. The foot/ankle rest and hold down are exceptional. I can go on and on but just invest in it for all the benefits that it will bring you. April 16, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by JimBo007 Great value Dollar for dollar the best equipment you can buy. Made extremely well and safe. Easy to assemble. Just buy it. April 8, 2016

One of the things we as bloggers take for granted is the crazy amount of information we come across in our own genre. I write about kids activities and could easily rattle off 100 other bloggers who have a really good homemade paint recipe, phonics game or toddler activity.
That is not normal!
Think of it as an iceberg. The tip or visible part is what we might write about or share on social media and the massive underneath portion is what lives in our heads.
What if we started tapping into that massive underneath portion allowing our readers a more in-depth look at the base of knowledge that supports our passion?
This has been one of the reasons the Kids Activities Blog FB and G+ pages have been so successful. We are not shy about sharing other people's AWESOME content and sharing it often. We have adopted an almost Pinterest-like obsession to share cool things that we trip across in a normal day.
On Pinterest it is easier, you simply scan the page, click through to make sure the source is correct and re-pin. Generally, G+ and FB don't have the volume of content to make it as easy.
That is YOUR opportunity.
Because it takes a few extra seconds to grab a link and post it from your FB or G+ page, less people do it. Your readers on FB and G+ are hungry for awesome ideas – feed them.
Every single comment, like/plus, and share from your G+ or FB page helps YOU. It helps you reach more of your fan base and attract new likes/plusses.
Kids Activities Blog publishes twice a day and has 1000s of archived articles, yet the majority of our social media posts are not our own.
Because we found something more awesome that we thought our readers would like.
We have built our FB and G+ pages on the backs of other blogger's content!
Our readers now see us as a huge resource of information and every single one of our posts reach more and more people just because they have a peek beyond the tip of the iceberg.

Day before historic presidential elections kick off, citizens revel in newfound freedom, but fear Muslim Brotherhood victory
Roi Kais
Published: 05.22.12, 10:22 / Israel News

"The peace treaty
with Israel
will be upheld regardless of whether the next president will be an Islamist or a remnant of the Mubarak regime," a 20-year-old Egyptian literature student told Ynet late Monday, a little more than 24 hours before Egypt's
first post-Mubarak presidential election is due to kick off.
Related articles:
He said that despite the enthusiasm, Egyptians are "worried about the possibility of irregularities or that a remnant of the Mubarak regime will win the election."
He estimated that the peace agreement with Israel will be upheld regardless of who is elected president. "The difference between the candidates is that those who belonged to (former President Hosni) Mubarak's regime do not defend the Palestinian nation's right to establish a state," Mahmoud told Ynet.

Amar Zacharya, a 40-year-old father of three from Giza, said "whoever is elected president will not act as Mubarak did, because he will know that Egypt has changed and that the people will watch his every move. He will not be able to be corrupt."
Zacharya, who translates texts from Hebrew to Arabic, said he will vote for independent candidate Mohammad Salim Al-Awa, a religious Islamist scholar who studied abroad. "He is a moderate whose slogan is justice, and this is what we are missing – justice in everything," Zacharya said.
According to him, "there is no way" that a candidate will win the election in the first round, which begins Wednesday. "I think Amr Moussa (former Arab League chief and foreign minister in Mubarak's government) has a very good chance. The Muslim Brotherhood lost a lot of support following its victory in the parliamentary elections,
because the people do not want them to take control of the entire country."
According to Zacharya, the candidates are lashing out
at Israel in order to depict themselves as patriots in the eyes of potential voters. "It's not beneficial to the relations between the two countries. If someone in Israel would declare that Egypt is an enemy, Cairo would not be pleased either," he said, but added that he was in favor of revising the 1979 peace agreement.
Abd al-Halam, a 24-year-old engineer from the Sohag district, said whoever wins the election will "treat Israel with respect, even if not publicly."
"Israel is a major force, and anyone who denies this is either ignorant or crazy," he told Ynet.
Al-Halam said he feared the election of a former Mubarak-regime official would ignite another round of violence in Egypt. However, he is also concerned that a victory by the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate would result in Egypt becoming an Islamist country.
"Some people regret having voted for the Muslim Brotherhood in the parliamentary elections, so its support base has significantly dwindled," he said.
"Personally, if the Muslim Brotherhood take control of the country and we turn into Iran, I'll leave," al-Halam said.
"The young people started the revolution so that Egypt would serve all its citizens, not just one faction."
