Pick up a processed food item these days -- from bread and cereal to salad dressings, soft drinks and soups -- and you're likely to find a common ingredient: high-fructose corn syrup.
Call it the stealth sugar, because although foodmakers must list it as an ingredient, they are not required to say how much of it a product contains.
"Why is high-fructose corn syrup showing up in my food?" Lean Plate Club members often ask me. Some are so put off by the presence of this sweetener that they search for commercial products without it or make their own alternatives.
"I have been using the Wish-Bone spray-on" salad dressing, a Lean Plate Club member wrote during a recent Web chat. This person appreciated the convenience of the spray but didn't want the added sugar it contains. "Is there a recipe somewhere for homemade salad dressing that you can put in a spray-on bottle?" this LPCer asked.
High-fructose corn syrup is the floozy of the sugar world: It's sweeter and cheaper than table sugar but is viewed with distrust by some consumers. As a liquid, it's easy for food and beverage makers to use, especially for sweetening drinks. No wonder it has edged out the former leading sweetener: sucrose, or ordinary table sugar.
Since the introduction of high-fructose corn syrup in 1966, U.S. consumption has reached about 60 pounds per person per year. That rise has closely paralleled the obesity epidemic -- a fact that has led some scientists to suggest that there might be a link between the two.
Some aren't so sure. Michael Jacobson, director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest and a vocal critic of non-diet soft drinks, doesn't see high-fructose corn syrup as a particular evil. As far as he is concerned, it makes no difference whether beverages or foods are sweetened with table sugar or high-fructose corn syrup: He says both ingredients contribute plenty of added sugar and calories.
Now, new findings may help settle the debate.
First, a little Sugar 101. Made from corn starch, high-fructose corn syrup is a thick liquid that contains two basic sugar building blocks -- fructose and glucose -- in roughly equal amounts. Sucrose, familiar to consumers as table sugar, is a larger molecule that breaks down into glucose and fructose in the intestine during metabolism.
In the body, both fructose and glucose start a cascade of biochemical reactions. Glucose increases production of insulin by the pancreas, which enables sugar in the blood to be transported into cells, where it can be used for energy. Also boosted: leptin, a hormone that helps regulate appetite and fat storage. Glucose halts production of ghrelin, the so-called appetite hormone. When ghrelin levels drop, hunger declines.
Fructose, on the other hand, doesn't stimulate either insulin or leptin production and doesn't suppress ghrelin. It may also promote fat synthesis. That's why some scientists, including Peter Havel of the University of California at Davis, suggest that eating too much fructose could contribute to weight gain. But others note that studies have examined only pure fructose -- not the combination of sugars found in high-fructose corn syrup.
A new report pits the two sugars head to head in a group of 30 healthy, lean women. University of Rhode Island researchers twice admitted the women to a clinical metabolic unit, where all their food and beverages could be carefully controlled for 48 hours at a time. Thirty percent of daily calories were provided by beverages sweetened with either table sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. During the study, neither the investigators, whose research was sponsored by PepsiCo, nor the participants knew what the beverages contained.
The results show no differences in blood sugar, appetite hormones or hunger, the team reports in this month's edition of the journal Nutrition. That suggests no difference between the effects of what sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup do in the body -- at least over the short term.
Could there be other differences that didn't show up? "We don't know," says Kathleen Melanson, assistant professor of nutrition at the University of Rhode Island and lead author of the study. The next step is to study high-fructose corn syrup in men and in heavier women and to see if there are differences when the sweetener is used in foods rather than in beverages.
The equivocal results don't surprise Barry Popkin, professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and one of the scientists who have suggested a link between high-fructose corn syrup and the obesity epidemic. Popkin says he has heard that similar results are expected to be presented in April in Washington at the Experimental Biology meeting, a gathering of 15,000 scientists.
What does Popkin take from all of this? In terms of excess calories that fuel weight gain, all added sugar "is bad for you," he says, noting that high-fructose corn syrup may not be worse than any other kind.

Rules regarding dischargeable taxes are some of the most complicated in bankruptcy. Although there's technically no limit to how many years' worth of tax debts you can discharge, the timing of your tax returns is crucial nonetheless -- they must meet several requirements.
The Three-Year Rule
The three-year rule applies to when a tax return is actually due, typically on April 15. Three years must pass from this date before a particular tax debt is eligible for discharge in bankruptcy. Therefore, your 2013 taxes are not dischargeable until April 2017 – three years after the April 15, 2014 due date. If you asked for and received an extension to file your return, the three years begins to run from the extended due date, not April 15. If you owe taxes for multiple years, these may be dischargeable as well because the due dates for the returns are presumably all more than three years old.
The Two-Year Rule
In addition to the requirement regarding the due dates of your returns, two years must pass from the actual dates you filed them. Just because a return was due on April 15 doesn't mean you actually filed it by that date. If you did file on time, this rule is moot because by the time the three-year rule is met, you'll have surpassed the two-year filing rule as well.
The 240-Day Rule
The most complicated requirement is the 240-day rule because it can have several interpretations. You must wait until 240 days have passed from the time the Internal Revenue Service actually assessed your taxes -- when the IRS made an official record of the fact that you owe them. If you file a return showing that you owe a certain amount, the IRS typically assesses your tax as of your filing date. If you were audited, or the IRS otherwise changed the amount you owe, the 240-day clock doesn't begin running until the adjustment is officially made. For example, if you were audited last month, you must wait an additional seven months before the debt is dischargeable in your bankruptcy case -- even if three years have passed, presuming the IRS made an adjustment to the amount you owe as a result of the audit.
Tax Liens
The IRS isn't particularly known for its patience. If it places a tax lien against any of your property while you're waiting for these time frames to elapse, the taxes are no longer dischargeable because the lien makes the taxes a secured debt. If you owe taxes from three, four and five years ago, but the IRS has put a lien on the oldest debt, you can only discharge the taxes associated with the other two years' returns. If you file for Chapter 13, however, this involves a three-to-five year repayment period and the IRS can't take further collection efforts against you during this time. You'll still have to pay the taxes -- they're not discharged -- but you'll get to do it in monthly installments rather than all at once.
Other Exceptions
If you failed to file a tax return in a given year and the IRS did it for you, this tax debt is not eligible for discharge because you never actually filed a return and so can't meet the two-year rule. If issues of fraud or tax evasion exist, you may also lose the right to discharge your tax debt, even if you meet all other requirements. If you filed for bankruptcy in the past, you must add six months to the other time limits plus the amount of time your previous bankruptcy was open and active before you received the earlier discharge.

Comic Relief is to work with Forster Communications on a five-month strategic media and stakeholder engagement project for the charity's Common Ground Initiative, following a competitive pitch.
The Common Ground Initiative aims to invest in small diaspora organisations, where the majority of members are from an African heritage and live in the UK, but still possess cultural, financial and emotional links with their country. The media and stakeholder relations brief is designed to raise awareness amongst decision makers and the UK public of the contribution of the African diaspora to international development.
Comic Relief chose Forster Communications due to the agency's clear strategic plan and heritage working with NGOs including UNICEF, BOND and Save the Congo. The agreed campaign approach will involve the development of compelling new content, including case studies, photo and film collateral, and topical opportunities to showcase British African voices on the issue of development.
Gemma Juma, international portfolio manager, Comic Relief said: "The newspapers are often filled with stories about aid contributions to developing countries; whilst discussion around the important role of diaspora organisation's investment is absent. We are commissioning this work to help tell the stories of the inspirational people involved in these projects, as well as opening up the discussion on the challenges impacting diaspora organisations. Forster Communications showed they had both the experience and contacts to deliver this brief."
Peter Gilheany, director, Forster Communications added: "Diaspora organisations are hugely varied, and largely operate under the radar. We will be working closely with the Comic Relief team to uncover these hidden stories and find compelling ways to engage journalists with them. Comic Relief have been a remarkable force in the fundraising and charity sector for the last 27 years, so we look forward to working with them to drive awareness to this campaign."

LONG hair, tight trousers and loud music where the amplifiers must |go all the way to 11 – it has to be Rock of Ages.
Anyone who remembers putting up their lighters to I Want To Know What Love Is or raising a fist in the air to We Built This City will revel in the show.
For the leading man in the stage production which comes to Southampton next month, it was an era which resonates deeply with him.
Ben Richards has been fitting into the role of Stacee Jaxx for several months now, but those classic rock ballads still sound as good as the first time he heard them.
And for the former Footballers Wives star, it meant more to him than just spandex.
He said: "The songs are just fantastic. They're great tunes one after the other.
"I used to listen to this stuff. I would be hanging out with my mates and we would listen to music by AC-DC and Def Leppard. I remember the first concert I went to was Whitesnake in Brighton."
Set around the fist-pumping era when glam metal ruled the world, Rock of Ages tells the story of a city boy and a small town girl – like those in Journey's Don't Stop Believing pursuing their dreams of Hollywood after meeting on Sunset Strip.
During the show the misogynistic lifestyle of Stacee Jaxx is laid bare.
But it wouldn't be the first time Ben has played someone with a dark streak.
He said: "It interests me. As a human being we have a bit of a bad streak inside all of us, apart from the Dalai Lama. We've got a bit of edge. The Prince Charming character is boring.
"Stacee Jaxx is so misogynistic, he's so wrapped up in himself, he's so self-centred it was fun to play him.
"I don't think he's a bad boy, I think he's a naughty boy. He's so used to everyone saying yes to him, to getting what he asks for, and women falling over him.
"I think it's the ego – if you're standing out there you have got thousands, millions of women screaming at you, it's quite hard to keep that ego in check."
Although the plot does get as heavy as the music at times, Ben likes to remind audiences that really it's about rocking out to the music.
He said: "If you're looking for something like Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, something very high brow, then this show isn't for you.
"If you want to party and have a great time we will take you to the party, I can guarantee it. You're going to be laughing and singing all the way home."
Rock of Ages is on at The Mayflower Theatre from September 9 to 13.

The next day I was feeling a bit better, but was penalized for my performance on the track by being made to run up and down the company while the company jogged 7 miles to the rifle range. The day following that I was back in the hospital for a third staythis time with pneumonia. It's nothing short of astounding that with all of this occurring within an eight week period I wasn't recycled. The only thing that saved me was that trainees at Ft.

What they said: David TomsOctober 07, 2010
PGA TOUR staff
MORE INTERVIEWS: McGladrey Classic Transcript archive Q. David, solid start. I followed you on the back nine. You gotta be pleased with that.
DAVID TOMS: Yeah, yeah, I played good all day, rolled in some nice putts. Some of these pins make you a little defensive, and I had some bad yardages the last few holes and couldn't make a real aggressive swing. So that kind of disappointed me, bogeyed last, but overall I drove it in play and bogeyed the first hole and the last hole, and everything in between was pretty solid.
Q. I've admired your putting stroke for a long time, and today it looked really good. Have you been working on that??
DAVID TOMS: Yeah. It felt really good, and you know, I hate to miss that last one on the last hole. I hit it right where I wanted to, but it just kind of hit a bump there and missed it.
So it feels good. I just need to keep setting myself up, I'll be all right.
Q. Now you have your early tee time tomorrow. Course should be pristine. That could be an advantage for you.
DAVID TOMS: Yeah. What a nice place. The weather has been perfect. Today was great scoring conditions. Hopefully we'll get the same thing tomorrow when we get out here.
Q. Thanks, David.
DAVID TOMS: Thank you. Transcript courtesy of ASAP Sports.

Isn't this just a packaging niceness, divide packages into arch and
noarch halves and the problem goes away - or am I being naive ?
Packages are marked 0 uncolored 1 elf32 2 elf64 dep0ending on what is contained within (i.e. a pkg that contains an elf32 binary will have color == 1. No package has both elf32 and elf64 yet, but the mechanism can/will support when someone is daft enough to try.)
and one has to choose, say, the elf64 package to upgrade an elf64 package. Then the usual mechanism, choose closest matching arch, say, preferring i586 over i386 on i686 (except for kernel which is a whole differerent selection mechanism).

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hello- Thank you for asking the question. I have over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families & am happy to reply.
I am sorry to hear about this.
This is a form of emotional abuse and you are going to have to set clear and consistent limits with him for this to stop.
This is a form of bullying behavior.
My sense is that he does this because he knows he can get away with it and that is why you have to let him know in concrete terms that this has to stop or you will not be willing to speak with him.
The following link will explain just how to do this. Use it as a guide in responding to your brother. It will help you and him.
I see that you are typing
I try to warn him when Im not going to continue, but he pushes on and I hang up, which only makes him madder. I want nothing more than to help him out, but he is 3000 miles away and we often dont even get to what is REALLY wrong. Yes, I try to help, human nature, but so hard to not comment. He sent me an article on listening with empathy from this site, yet seems to take no responsibility for why our conversations end.
I think when you read the link I attached above you will have a good structure for how to address this matter which will work.
I hadnt scrolled down far enough to read your entire msg - I will check the link, thank you.
If you have further questions you can always ask- there is no additional cost.
thank you.
I wish you the very best and appreciate your Positive Rating so that I receive Credit for my time.
You are most welcome
Have a nice day.
You will have a complete copy of this chat transcript with link in your email.

Excellent widget It is very convenient to have the lock rotation button on my home screen. This widget works perfectly! Once in a while it may display the wrong setting; it might be red indicating it is off when in fact it is turned on the system settings, just a minor bug that sometimes happens after reboot on Asus transformer tablet. Other than that, five stars.
Unfriendly for tablet users Autorotate off -> potrait mode lock. Man, tablet users want it landscape. You'll get my 5 stars then. :)
Good idea. Two things... Doesnt work when u watch videos , can still flip. Also need timer so u can go to right app and lock screen rotate when ready
Motorola defy 2.1 unrooted. Switch on (!) to enable auto-rotation, default setting disables it. Even after uninstalling it, keeps last setting.
Very Nice Very nice app! Does not work when playing movies or YouTube videos, but I got it only for viewing web pages and texting on my bed at night. So I'm happy!
I learned that upgrading to Lollipop on my moto g 1st generation ment that the control for rotate has moved and harder to get to. This app works just fine after upgrading to Lollipop.
What's New

Basically this, playing with one hand is so much easier than playing with both.
But for easy songs, ...Heartbeat Clocktower isn't that bad and the transcribing was pretty good and sensical, but you have to be able to reach/jump octaves.
Other than that Toeto isn't bad and also has a slow tempo

Wunderlich Securities Reiterates Buy, $47 Target on SCANA
Wunderlich Securities maintains its Buy rating and $47 target on SCANA (NYSE: SCG) as a nuclear construction and operating license is expected soon by the company.
Wunderlich Securities says, "SCANA Corporation (SCG) is scheduled to report 4Q and 2011 EPS on February 15. We expect by that time SCG should have received its combined nuclear construction and operating license (COL). The COL for Southern Company (SONR) is expected to be issued before the SCG COL, and SO remains hopeful that the COL will be issued in time for its 4Q earnings call on January 25. SCG's COL should be issued within a week of SO's. We are maintaining our Buy rating on SCG shares and expect the COL will provide the next catalyst for the stock."

The least you guys could do is Give the artist and the original artist some credit instead of post some B.S. I mean for the gods sake Xenzo has taking the time to redraw a Ferri but I dont suspect you have any clue who that is. Anyways great work Xenzo, Ferri would be proud of what you are doing with the works I must say it adds a mysterious love connection and want for the face that is the painting. The anatomy of the body is well done and the muscles pop with life through the shading however the wings do look a bit cartoonish or pasted if you will maybe a bit more shading when it comes to them.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This also looks like a Caravaggio piece because of the contrast from dark to light and the wings are really nice.

Last night, work called. "The network is down!" I was dreading the trek in to the office, but I talked someone through restarting the downed server. It went down again, later, and it's still not clear to me just what happened, but it was annoying. At least I didn't need to head in.
Today, I started working on some leftover tasks from last week, mostly adding some fields to the production database. Then... crisis! One of our mostly proprietary legacy systems was having trouble, and we had to talk about how to fix it. I think tomorrow will be a lot of plan development.
Just before that call, I'd deployed an updated database front-end, and it was failing. As soon as I got off the phone, I had to fix that. It turned out that Access had decided that, when I added four database fields and a few UI elements, I also should have added OWC, so it added a reference to them for me. In case you've never experienced the joy of Office development, OWC are the Office Web Components. WTF?
With those fires out, I headed to 7-11 for my ritual Monday work-from-home lunch. I always get a Red Bull and a Cheeseburger Big Bite, which is like a hamburger pressed into a hot dog shape and injected with bits of cheese. It is gross and delicious. Today, they had one sitting there on the grill, but Matt (the guy at 7-11) said it wasn't ready to be served. I had an Italian Sausage and Cheese Big Bite. It was good, but... it broke with tradition.
After work, I got to work figuring out why once 150 MB production database had grown to 95 GB. Mostly, it was MSSQL's traditional love of huge transaction logs. If you're not careful, it will keep log entries forever, even when your backup routines request a truncation. After truncating 93 gigs of ldf, I wrote a little script to show me all the space usage by the tables in a database. I'll try to publish it tomorrow. It showed me that our "extra, irregular data" tables were using hundreds of megs. I don't mind that, really. It shows me that those relations have been a useful addition!
After work, I removed the cable box from our setup and put the TV back on the cable. I was briefly worried that this was a big mistake when I couldn't get anything to display, but I managed to get everything working. I even eventually found a manual online for our long-unused TV remote. Once I found the remote's model number under a sticker, it was easy.
See, I'm sending the cable box back to Service Electric and cancelling our Digital Uber Package, which will drop all the channels above 118 and the on-screen guide. This means that we'll lose VH1 Punk, MTV Drivel, Discovery Ethnic Cleansing, and a few other channels in the form $KnownChannel $SpecialTopic.
The money that had been spend on Stupid Channels and Converter Rental will be redirected to pay for TiVo. Trevor is all juiced up about Microsoft Windows Personal Media Center Personal Media Edition for Media, and is using that instead. He's selling me his forty hour series two TiVo for cheap. He brought it by when he left work, and we got it set up. Gloria and I spent some time deleting his shows from it, except for West Wing. He had the one episode we'd missed this season! So, we watched that, and then some Law and Order with commercials skipped, then some Modern Marvels. I think I'm going to like TiVo.
Don't tell my boss. I made fun of him for ages for his zealotry about it.
Meanwhile, Rubric has problems related (mostly) to the fact that everything that encodes entities in XML or HTML turns " into quot but not ' into apos. When passing something from a query parameter into a element attribute, I need to handle things manually. It drives me nuts! I'll deal with it tomorrow, though. Now it is time to sleep.

LA DOLCE VITA sex bomb ANITA EKBERG, now 80, is broke and financially desperate, her accountant reveals!
Ekberg who coupled the words "Swedish" with "bombshell" is best remembered for her fulsome frolicking in Rome's Trevi fountain in the classic Federico Fellini film "La Dolce Vita".
Ekberg has been living in a care home for the last three months after falling and breaking her leg and now her personal accountant Massimo Morais says she is practically penniless and in dire need of financial help.
Morais has appealed directly to the Federico Fellini Foundation in Rimini for help. He explained she rock bottom after a robbery at her villa near Rome, where heartless thieves snatched her priceless jewelry and furniture and then her home was nearly lost in a blazing inferno.
"She would dearly love to go home but the fact is she can't as she does not have the money to restore the house where she lives which was damaged in the fire", Morais said.
"She also has no family to help look after her and lives on her own. That's why she is asking the Foundation for help.'
The Fellini Foundation was created in 1995 by Maddalena Fellini, the late director's sister, as well as the city of Rimini (Fellini's hometown) to protect the legacy of Fellini.
After winning the Miss Sweden title Anita conquered Hollywood – and the world – with more than 20 films insuring her status as an international sex symbol.
Among her many affairs were Errol Flynn, Frank Sinatra and Robert Wagner, who wrote in his memoir, of an "enjoyable one night stand" with the busty superstar.

In terms of actual, concrete, guidelines for naming SQL Server Indexes, I only have two pieces of what I would consider perfect advice:
Whatever you do, be consistent. You may have a great idea for a new index naming convention, but if you just 'lump it in' on top of other previous/failed naming schemes or conventions then you're just further confusing things. Since the whole idea of a naming convention or scheme is attempt to impose order into our naturally chaotic universe, multiple flavors of order just end up being… chaotic – or less than optimal.
There's no such thing as a perfect naming convention or naming scheme. I've been around SQL Server for over 13 years now, and in that time have seen some great contenders for perfect naming conventions, nomenclatures, and guidelines. But, invariably, there's always some defect or problem with every single naming scheme (for tables, objects, code, indexes, what-have-you) that each of these solutions has bumped into. Sometimes it's a question of sooner rather than later, but there is no 'perfect system' for anything. As such, any time you're looking to potentially rename indexes across wide swaths of your infrastructure to make things perfect or ideal, then you're not going to make it.
With those bits of solid advice out of the way, let me share some details about the approach that I currently use to name indexes – along with some candid details about where my own naming conventions are falling short.
Related: Indexing Dos and Don'ts
In my mind, the primary purpose of any naming convention is to try and help impose some degree of order. To that end, I also like naming conventions to try and enable the ability to let named objects tell you a bit about the object, its purpose, and any particular (pertinent) details – at a glance. Stated differently, one of the reasons I name indexes as I currently do, is because it helps me get an 'at a glance' idea of core attributes of a given index.
To that end, I prefix all of my indexes with one of the following:
Only, while that aspect of my preferred naming scheme has worked well for a long time, it's started to break-down (or run into friction) over the past few years as I've struggled with whether or not to try and indicate whether an index is filtered or not. Obviously, for CLIXes that's not an issue. But with standards IXes and COVIXes, that's a different matter. And, at that point, IF I try to indicate 'filtered-ness', then things (to me) start to get lame. For example, FIX_ is a fine prefix for a filtered index. But FCOVIX is dumb – and a reminder (to me) that no naming convention can ever be perfect.
On the other hand, I could leave the fact that an index is filtered OUT of the name, but that seems like I'm not doing myself any favors by making that obvious or visible 'at a glance'. As such, I keep flip-flopping on how I handle this BETWEEN projects (i.e., I'm consistent – but only on a client-by-client or project by project basis).
Otherwise, the other component of my naming convention is that each index I create adheres to the following, overall, structure:
Where the [Prefix] is the info I just outlined above, and where the [Description] can actually vary a fair amount from one index to the next based upon WHY the index exists. Some examples will probably make that make more sense – as this is where my rules get a bit harder to 'concretely' define:
There's also, of course, a 'place' where column-names and other descriptions vs naming indexes for specific operations happens to 'break down' or run into 'friction'… at which point I just remember: nothing's perfect, and try the best I can.

Perez is a young prospect, at only 23-years-old, and is probably only a win or two away from a title shot. He's finished all three of his UFC bouts within the 1st round, submitting John Albert then knocking out Ken Stone and Byron Bloodworth, and is now now heading into his upcoming bout with Mizugaki riding an eight-fight winning streak. He was set to fight Johnny Bedford at UFC 159 but had to withdraw from that bout due to injury. Instead he'll return to face Mizugaki at the end of August.
He'll have his hands fill with Takeya Mizugaki, a Japanese veteran who is also riding consecutive victories. He's 4-2 in the UFC and has defeated Jeff Hougland and Bryan Caraway via decision in his last two fights.
A rematch between welterweight contenders Carlos Condit and Martin Kampmann is currently scheduled to headline the night's main event.

UK computer systems will be hit by political, military, economic and technical espionage in 2008. That's the warning from McAfee, which also says that US and German IT will be targeted, and that cyber-spying will be the biggest security threat of next year. James Bond's a geek - who knew?
According to McAfee, next year will also witness an increasing threat to online banking, VoIP calls and social networking sites. Spies going after Facebook? Is nothing sacred? Completing its doom-laden Mystic Meg-ism, McAfee thinks that malware will become increasingly complex and resilient in 2008. Which will at least keep it busy.
McAfee's report suggests that China is in pole position to be the top technology country over the next 10 to 20 years. Mind you, there are 120 countries expected to be competing for cyber supremacy. It should be quite the battle for silver and bronze.
Mystic McAfee also reckons that tech crime has moved on from going after individuals and business, and has now turned it's evil antennae to national security. It even suggests that governments could soon be involved in the messy business of using the internet to attack their neighbours. (Not unlike, say, Russia spamming Estonia - to make a completely random selection.)
"There are signs that intelligence agencies around the world are constantly probing other governments' networks looking for strengths and weaknesses," said the LSE's Peter Sommer, who was one of the report's authors.
And, naturally, McAfee agrees: "Global cybercrime is a major problem costing businesses and consumers billions a year, and the wider use of technology in developing countries only further opens the window of opportunity for evildoers," Dave DeWalt, president and chief executive at McAfee, told ComputerWeekly.

John H. Tietjen Professor of Pastoral Ministry: Worship and Church Music, Emeritus
The calendrical details in this text charm the liturgically minded. I mean: the context in John's Gospel makes it clear that the "evening of that day, the first day of the week," is the evening of the very first Easter Day. The disciples were gathered behind locked doors, and we ELW types want to say, gathered likely in assembly. And, if so, our imaginations press on, then in one of the first Christian assemblies ever, apart from the Emmaus bunch.
Listen for the cues: Jesus comes into their midst and delivered what was to become a liturgical greeting. Thomas wasn't there, we are told; perhaps others too were absent—who knows? But those who were there became so excited over Jesus' appearance that they made a pastoral call on Thomas to tell of their experiences. Thomas responded by joining them at the next Sunday assembly. Jesus comes into their midst again. Doors still shut. Here in this short account are the minutes from some of the first Christian meetings—maybe.
By this time we know that what transpired at these meetings brings a focus on Thomas. Yesterday Peter V helped us understand that the moniker "doubting," no matter its venerable history, is inaccurate and unnecessarily damaging. Doubting was not his problem.
And the narrative is further confused for us by the writer's interjection of Jesus' sending words, "Receive the Holy Spirit, forgive and retain sins, etc." Where did that come from, this rush to Pentecost? I know, I know, the linkage of the resurrection and Pentecost makes for delicious theological discourse. But overall Thomas seems to be the focus of this narrative, not the Office of the Keys. Besides the Holy Spirit was apparently in no hurry to get these disciples out the door, for one week later they are still inside, doors shut.
The rush to Pentecost and our own intensifying desires for heavy breathing on our professional lives can detour us from important milestones in the yearly journey from the empty tomb. There is a reason that for centuries we are invited to hear of Thomas one week after Easter. In spite of his energy and commitment Thomas was not quite ready to hit the road for India. For Thomas to be, for Thomas to act, we need a Thomas who first sees and who first feels.
If in fact John 21 is a kind of appendix to the whole Gospel, then the last verses of our text gain more poignancy in their summary statement of purpose for the entire Gospel. These signs were written down that "you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, . . . and that you may have life." The urgency of John's witness is directed towards those, it is hoped, who will "see the signs." A favored few, of course, will also touch. But for most of us—and we are equally blessed—for most of us to see the signs is enough, even as it is opportunity at hand this week of the second Sunday of Easter 2010.
Jesus, mercifully, does not deny Thomas the chance to feel the wounds and see them up close. That Thomas was so overcome by his desire to verify the witness of his fellow disciples, thinking that he could turn his believing on and off, is not his problem. Even as our attempts to comprehend the resurrection with modern or post-modern mental motherboards are not the problem. No, Thomas's problem was that he was the original chapel skipper.
He missed the assembly that very first day of the week ever. Who knows where he was: Work? Resting from exhaustion? Wanting to be where the real people are? Fact is: he missed the meeting, and missed Jesus coming into the midst.
Blessed are those who see the signs. And, like Thomas, we will find them there in the midst. For when Thomas came to the meeting on the second Sunday, there suddenly in the midst of the community was Jesus, ready to give Thomas all he wanted and thought he needed. There was Jesus, ready to give away the first dose of resurrected life.
In the midst of the community words about the signs take on life. In the midst come signs that were written down; through read and preached signs Jesus again invites us to see that we might believe and have life.
In the midst we see the enacted signs of peace; in the midst we cast our eyes on signs of creation, renamed around the table as signs of Christ's love; in the midst we see signs of bread and wine that bear the wounds and nail prints right into our hands and hearts.
See the signs, Jesus begs us. Pentecost can wait, even for those of you who have the overwhelming desire to receive the Spirit with laying on of hands.
See the signs. And then, whenever the Wounded One comes into our midst, see and feel how fears are dispelled, see how death, like a deflated balloon, lies in a heap in the corner of the open tomb; see how joy is released, even behind closed doors, see how tears have been dried up. See how doors then are opened, and it is time finally for heavy breathing.
There are signs to see, there are signs to hear, there are signs to touch, there are signs to taste in the midst. Open your eyes, open your ears, open your hand, open your mouth. You will not be disappointed. The time is now.
John 20:19-31

It's going badly. They want to throw me out of the program... not because of anything I actually ever did but because my petty academic advisor who is always convinced I am too stupid to be able to do or understand anything and my dad got into a fight awhile back because he didn't like we got his boss the chair to sign a form he de facto refused to sign by not being available for any meetings or his office hours since the deadline was looming closer and if we'd waited til he got back to us it would have been too late. So he's been retaliating at me ever since because lacking the maturity of most common adults he can't get over being made wrong or proven wrong. So the latest was he called me insane and was gleeful that now, just now, right toward the tail end of my degree I failed a course then retook it but still had low marks (in that course). He got to get in my face and yell at me about how dangerous and unsafe I must be (it was a lecture I'd failed, not a lab), and go on about how much of a screwup he thought I was (at everything, not just the course I'd failed but in general for being mediocre instead of Straight A's) for refusing to just give up and not listening to his 'advice' each semester to never take anything hard, that he thinks everything is too difficult for me, and why haven't I changed majors yet?
I really, really should have gotten a different advisor earlier but it reminded me a bit much of how my father treated me so I put up with it for far longer than I should have.

Nerve wracking:
Posted Jul 11, 2012
As my key research project gets closer to completion I pause to reflect on the good and bad times I had during working on it.
I had a number of my relatives give me unsolicited 'advice' they thought it was stupid and silly and so was my field of study in their opinion and furthermore why didn't I just start over completely from square one and study something else.
I had my research professor and a few other people who weren't my relatives encourage me and tell me the writing in my drafts was a good start and to keep going.
I had my father throw a weird tantrum that he didn't like I was given research projects and even more disliked the idea I may stand an okay chance at getting published in a respectable trade journal once it's finished.
I found that the reference librarians can be extremely helpful and the automated databases to be a necessary evil (every so often the formatting and interface designs would get revamped so you have to keep reteaching yourself how to use them).

retrogaming: Atari 2600:
Posted Mar 13, 2012
I went to a convention and purchased a used atari 2600 console with some controllers and a library of 37 compatible games from some fellow for a sizable discount. I noticed on unpacking it though that the machine did not come with an RF modulator and am going to go to RadioShack to buy the parts to make a new one as a DIY project. It will be hard to tell if the machine works or not without being able to connect it to a television or a vcr. This little refurbishing project a friend of mine and I are going to undertake has set me back so far about $30 (USD) and will hopefully not require an expensive RF Demodulator ($100-110 USD). If I just buy an adapter ($3-5) and a 300-75 Ohm transformer ($3-5?) and a game/television switcher with either coaxial switching or duplex/multiplexing ($3-7) perhaps we can use that to bring the machine back to life without having to do too much taking apart and soldering.
Unfortunately my VCR appears to only have component video instead of composite so I'm just hoping if I and he noodle with the set-up just right we can get the audio and video signals to separate or at least transmit coherently, without having to buy a big expensive demodulator box to attach a modulator to which feels like going around in a big loop/circle.

The $1.3 million project, slated to begin in the spring, calls for sidewalk and roadway improvements along First Street, spanning from the State Street intersection to Shasta Street.
A staff report outlined project design details, which include the installation of five bike racks in various locations along the stretch of First Street, the installation of public art pads in front of 127 and 199 First St. and the removal of string lights spanning the intersection of First and State streets. Rain gardens will be located in new planters in front of 121 and 127 First St.
The project also provides for the planting of Chinese Pistache trees along First and two new Crape Myrtles near Parking Plaza 7. The project will feature a midblock crosswalk with hard-wired lights between the plaza and Safeway.
The project's timeline schedules sidewalk construction to begin mid-May, with completion prior to the Los Altos Arts & Wine Festival in July. After the festival, the city will close the intersection of State and First streets for further work, with a completion date of Sept. 30.
The project includes the replacement of streetlights and First Street road repaving from the State Street intersection to Edith Avenue. The repaving is scheduled for 2014, according to Assistant City Manager James Walgren. The date depends on the completed construction of the new Safeway and the multiunit housing development at 100 First St.

Girl Scouts Robbed! [Video]
The Saginaw County regional office of the Girl Scouts was robbed over the Holiday weekend for a little over $50. This is horrible considering these little girls are just trying to do things for their communities and neighborhoods. Not much else was taken but the cash register was broken which is part of a $4,000 computer system!
Now I'm going to be honest with you… If I was robbing the Girl Scouts, I for sure would be taking the Cookies! That's money in the pocket. I mean who wouldn't buy a box of Samoes or Thin Mints. Let's not forget Peanut butter Patties. So this is what was surprising to the Scouts leaders. Investigators have no suspects at the time. Some think the robbery was connected to another one at a local Tractor Supply Company. What's your favorite Girl Scout Cookies?

A demo for the rather good Kinect launch title Kinectimals is now available on Xbox LIVE.
The demo weighs in at 1.52 GB, but that's all we know. As is the norm, you'll need to be an Xbox LIVE Gold member to access it.
Developed by Frontier Games, Kinectimals lets you train and play with a number of cats, each as adorable as the last. We rather liked it, awarding it an excellent 8/10, saying that "for the game's target audience - pre-teen kids - this is an excellent Kinect game that will provide hours of fun."

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO on Thursday announced a breakthrough in talks on immigration reform, releasing joint principles for a temporary worker program.
The labor federation and business lobby have been holding talks for weeks on how to fix temporary worker programs. The issue split unions during the last major immigration push in 2007 and played a part in dooming the effort in Congress.
In a lengthy joint statement, the two groups agreed to a set of three principles for temporary workers and advocated for the creation of an independent agency to determine when and where foreign workers are needed.
First, the AFL-CIO and the Chamber agreed that U.S. workers should get "the first crack" at available jobs. Second, they agreed that there are times where U.S. employers will need foreign workers. And third, the immigration process needs to be fixed with a transparent, data-based solution.
Business and labor leaders believe a new agency in the executive branch could provide the solution to the temporary worker issue that has long eluded lawmakers.
The Chamber and the AFL-CIO said they would work together to move immigration reform forward in Congress.
"We are now in the middle — not the end — of this process, and we pledge to continue to work together and with our allies and our representatives on Capitol Hill to finalize a solution that is in the interest of this country we all love," the statement said.
The White House called the joint statement a sign of progress in the immigration debate. "We are encouraged by it," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
Temporary worker programs are considered one of the biggest stumbling blocks to passage of immigration legislation on Capitol Hill.
Business groups are pushing for changes or improvements to several different worker visas that benefit select industries such as agriculture and hospitality. They say businesses often struggle to find U.S. workers for jobs in those industries, leaving them no choice but to fill the gap with foreign help.
Unions, however, are heavily critical of temporary worker programs, arguing they can lead to low wages and poor working conditions for immigrant workers.
The AFL-CIO and Chamber said they are hopeful that a solution can be found to bridge the divide.
"Our challenge is to create a mechanism that responds to the needs of business in a market-driven way, while also fully protecting the wages and working conditions of U.S. and immigrant workers. Among other things, this requires a new kind of worker visa program that does not keep all workers in a permanent temporary status, provides labor mobility in a way that still gives American workers a first shot at available jobs, and that automatically adjusts as the American economy expands and contracts," said the statement.
In the past, unions have argued for an independent commission to govern temporary worker programs. Earlier this month, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka advocated for "a data-driven system" to handle short-term visas for foreign workers.
The Chamber has also been talking to the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) about immigration reform. SEIU is one of the most active unions on the issue and is aggressively campaigning for a comprehensive bill.
The negotiations between the AFL-CIO and the Chamber have been closely watched in Washington. Sen. Chuck SchumerCharles (Chuck) Ellis SchumerSenate Dems hold floor talk-a-thon against latest ObamaCare repeal bill This week: Senate wrapping up defense bill after amendment fight Cuomo warns Dems against cutting DACA deal with Trump MORE (D-N.Y.), one of the lead Democratic negotiators on immigration, last month pointed to the talks as a possible game-changer on the "future flow" of foreign workers into the United States. He hailed the principles announced Thursday as a "major step forward."
"While the devil will be in the details in terms of fleshing these principles out, our staffs have had very productive discussions with both sides this week. We are very hopeful that an agreement can be reached on a specific proposal in the next few weeks," Schumer said in a statement.
The talks have been aided by the friendly relationship between Trumka and Tom Donohue, the Chamber's president and CEO. The two leaders have worked together in the past, specifically in advocating for more government spending on infrastructure, and are known to grab lunch together periodically.
Last week, the Chamber and the AFL-CIO released a joint statement saying they were still negotiating an immigration framework despite a report that said the talks had stalled.

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned
Review by VesperLynd93
"A Must Have for Anyone With GTA IV!"
The Lost and Damned follows the story of Johnny Klebitz, a member of the motorcycle gang "The Lost" based in Alderney, a state adjacent to Liberty City. Johnny is the vice-president of the gang and currently in charge while their leader, Billy Grey, is in rehab. In his time as leader, Johnny has pursued truces and civil relationships with the other motorcycle gangs, believing it most beneficial for the gang and an opportunity to maximise profits in drug deals, but Billy is soon released and resorts to his violent tactics, believing that slaughtering their enemies is the way forward. Johnny and Billy clash over the leadership and direction of the gang, while having to defend themselves from attacks by rival gangs, such as the "Angels of Death".
At several points throughout the course of the game, the plot intertwines with events from Grand Theft Auto IV and are seen and played out from Johnny's perspective. The Lost and Damned features similar gameplay to Grand Theft Auto IV. Additions to the game include new weapons, such as a grenade launcher and pipe bombs, as well as sawed-off and automatic shotguns and new vehicles, such as Johnny's custom-made motorcycle. However, in this game, motorcycle handling seems a lot easier than any other vehicle handling.
I downloaded this today and beat it about eight hours later - not long at all, hell even GTA IV was longer, but that's not the point. You get so much more, not to mention the endless free-roam stuff you do at any time and once you finish the story missions. Not only can you start the game from the beginning as well, but you can hang out with friends, do activities, and everything else just like the main GTA IV game.
There's a handful of new and impressive things, including the addition of weapons, vehicles, and characters. There's new songs on the radio stations and new in-game television programs as well as a new comedian at the Split Sides comedy club in addition to Katt Williams and Ricky Gervais.
There's an amazing new selection of vehicles to choose from, and new weapons that'll blow the rest out of the water. However, there aren't any new clothes to buy for Johnny, but that's not much of a big deal compared to what you get with the add-on.
All in all, I recommend this add-on to Grand Theft Auto IV to anyone who has the game and is looking for more fun, or anyone who's thinking about getting the game and wants more out of it.

Objective Evaluating the prevalence of chronic disease in a group of elderly people living in the city of João Pessoa, PB, Brazil and their nutritional status. Method 117 subjects aged 60 to 89 attending local Reference and Citizenship Centres were evaluated. The research instrument used was a questionnaire addressing socio-demographic, socioeconomic and anthropometric variables and health-related behaviour. The data so collected was organised using SPSS statistical software and presented via descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation, and absolute and percentage frequencies). Results 4.3 % and 9.4 % of the subjects admitted using tobacco and alcohol, respectively. 56.4 % did not engage in any physical activity. As many as 78.6 % used medications and 82.1 % admitted to suffering from some non-transmissible chronic disease, the most frequent being hypertension (56.4 %), dyslipidaemia (33.3 %) and diabetes mellitus (20.5 %). According to body mass index (BMI) classification, 46.2 % were overweight and 40.2 % presented degree I obesity. Regarding the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), abdominal obesity was diagnosed in 97.4 % of the elderly in the study. Conclusion The prevalence of chronic disease, especially hypertension, was high in the studied population. Most institutionalised elderly were classified as suffering from abdominal obesity, representing an extremely high risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

Great add ! Russ Clune did a one arm start (he's pretty tall,strong too.) But trust me you can do half a pull and then fire in the other hand.
Well geared with work, pumpy.

|I was belaying Russ the day he freed that opening move (1984/85?). Yes, he's pretty tall and mighty strong, but nonetheless, that tiny jam that he pulled up on (after a little jump as I remember) was breathtaking to behold. The rest of us got a boost to keep the opening moves at a more reasonable (and less tendon-shredding) grade. The rest of the pitch is no slouch, either, with quite the sting in the tail around the final roof. Glad to "have done it"...can just walk under it and smile, now. And yes, it should stay dry in the rain.

Buy a Zen Circle calligraphy wall scroll here!
Start your custom "Zen Circle" project by clicking the button next to your favorite "Zen Circle" title below...
〇 / 円相 is Enso, which is really NOT a regular Japanese Kanji character. It falls more into the category of a symbol. In this case, it can be considered a religious symbol, as it is strongly-associated with Japanese Zen Buddhism.
〇 / 円相 is a typical appearance of Enso with an inscription by master calligrapher Bishou Imai.
Some call this "The Circle of Enlightenment." Others call it the "Infinity Circle." If you actually took the meanings of the two Kanji that make up the word "Enso," you could read it as "Mutual Circle" or "Circle of Togetherness." I think the Enso symbol can simply mean different things to different people. Therefore, you should let it have the meaning that you perceive.
Please note when you start making your customizations for an Enso wall scroll, you will see some possible ways it might be written, listed under the different calligraphy styles that we normally offer. However, Enso does not really conform to normal Asian calligraphy styles. Therefore, do not expect that you can make a style selection and expect the actual result to be identical. The appearance of your Enso will be determined by the artist's personal style, feeling, mood, etc. You cannot control or constrain that, as you cannot constrain art, without removing some of the artistic quality. Note: Our calligraphy selection process does not take this into account, as it was designed for Chinese characters and Japanese Kanji selection.
Please ignore the part where you are invited to pick a calligraphy style in the following pages.
Both our Japanese and Chinese master calligraphers are Buddhist (not as devout as monks but Buddhist none the less). Therefore, you can be assured that your Enso symbol will be written with the utmost effort and feeling.
By the way, when "Enso" is written in Kanji, it looks like this:

Professional calligraphers are getting to be hard to find these days.
Instead of drawing characters by hand, the new generation in China merely type roman letters into their computer keyboards and pick the character that they want from a list that pops up.
There is some fear that true Chinese calligraphy may become a lost art in the coming years. Many art institutes in China are now promoting calligraphy programs in hopes of keeping this unique form of art alive.
Even with the teachings of a top-ranked calligrapher in China, my calligraphy will never be good enough to sell. I will leave that to the experts.
The same calligrapher who gave me those lessons also attracted a crowd of thousands and a TV crew as he created characters over 6-feet high. He happens to be ranked as one of the top 100 calligraphers in all of China. He is also one of very few that would actually attempt such a feat.

Natalee Holloway Expected to Be Declared Legally Dead
ABC Digital
Updated at
UPDATE: An Alabama judge announced Thursday that he will declare missing Alabama teen Natalee Holloway to be dead.
(BIRMINGHAM, Ala.) — The search for missing teen Natalee Holloway could officially end Thursday when an Alabama judge is expected to declare her dead.
A court hearing in Birmingham will determine whether Holloway, who has not been seen or heard from since she disappeared on an Aruban beach in 2005, is officially considered dead in the eyes of the law. Dave Holloway, the teen's father, claimed in the court papers that because there is no evidence Natalee is alive and that the time has come to declare her legally dead.
Natalee's mother, however, opposes the court proceeding.
"Beth's position is she has no proof or indication that Natalee is still alive, but absent any proof or indication that she is dead, she always wants to hang onto that slight glimmer of hope," said Beth Holloway's attorney, John Q. Kelly. "No mother likes to, without evidence, have her daughter declared dead. She wants to carry around her around in her heart."
Kelly noted that the hearing Thursday is likely a foregone conclusion, as the judge will ask to see any evidence that Natalee is still alive and, absent any, will declare her dead. She will either be declared dead Thursday or after another formal waiting period, he said.
Neither he nor Holloway would attend the hearing, he said.
Beth Holloway, who is now divorced from the girl's father, recently called Dave's actions "inexplicable" and said she was taken by surprise when she found out Dave had filed the petition in Birmingham court.
The court hearing comes a day after court proceedings in Peru where the main suspect in Holloway's disappearance, Joran van der Sloot, pleaded guilty to murdering a different woman. Van der Sloot entered the plea Wednesday and is awaiting sentencing by the Peruvian court. He has admitted to killing 21-year-old Stephany Flores, a Peruvian businesswoman, on May 30, 2010, the fifth anniversary of Natalee's disappearance.
Van der Sloot, a Dutch citizen, was never formally charged with Holloway's death in Aruba, but was arrested and held for questioning in the matter twice.
Natalee Holloway was on the last day of a graduation trip to Aruba with her senior class at Mountain Brook High School in Alabama when she did not return to her hotel. She was last seen in a car with several people, including Van Der Sloot.

Quick backlog, forgot to note this one down earlier – glad I'm getting some flavour from it now, even if I was somehow managing to confuse it with Yu Lu Yan Cha Black! Having a second infusion now :) For some reason, I've been craving "dry" teas lately, as in, ones that are light and non-vegetal, which this one is. Hits the spot :)
ETA: OH man. Second infusion of this one sat overnight as I passed out early again, and I'm positive it only got better! The oolong flavour is SO strong and delicious now, I could drink this forever!

Imperfect transmission conditions modelling a thin reactive 2D intermediate layer between two bonded materials in a dissimilar strip have been derived and analytically analysed in another paper of this issue. In this paper, the validity of these transmission conditions for heat conduction problems has been investigated due to the finite element method (FEM) for two formulations of a reactive layer: namely, based on a constant and a temperature-dependent source or sink formulation. It is shown that the accuracy of the transmission conditions is excellent for the investigated examples.

I have large pore scars on my nose. Some look like 2 or 3 pores joined together to make 1 huge pore. About 8-10 that look like ice pick scars and are very noticeable. I had a doctor do a "test spot " on the side of my nose. 10 years ago, and it made them much worse. Now I have 3 crater size holes on the right side of my nose. I hate to look at myself and I am wondering if anything can be done to repair that damage as well as the remaining 7 other ice pick / pore scars.

Treatments for Acne Scars on the Nose?
Hi Littleton. You may want to consider a couple different options.
Although the nose is not the best place to resurface acne scars (the healing response is not as good as the cheeks), you do have opportunities for improvement. Based on what you have described, we would probably suggest you consider several alternatives below. Go to multiple consultations regarding different procedures to understand your options.
- Traditional CO2 or Erbium Laser Resurfacing
- Fractional CO2 or Erbium Laser Resurfacing
- Punch Excision (for crater like or very large pore type scars).

Ice pick scars are worse on the nose after test spot treatment
I assume this is with a laser. It depends on how this was done. I think that the TCA CROSS is one method of improving deep acne scars that are ice pick in nature. A multilayered approach would be what I would recommend. I think this approach will change the way we do acne scarring and will transform this part of the industry.

Hazel Blears, the secretary of state for communities, is facing legal action from a leader of the Muslim Council of Britain after she said he had called for violence against Jews and British troops.
Lawyers acting for MCB deputy secretary general Dr Daud Abdullah have accused Ms Blears of adopting "an extraordinary and malicious interpretation" of a declaration that he signed earlier this year.
Ms Blears demanded the resignation of Dr Abdullah following his participation in a global anti-aggression conference in Istanbul, stating that the declaration "calls for violence against troops and Jewish communities".
Abdullah strongly rejects the claims, repeated by the communities secretary on several occasions, including in a letter to the Guardian newspaper and on television.
Dr Abdullah says the accusations from the government and says they are "entirely untrue". He has given Ms Blears until 15 April to retract and apologise, or else to face a libel action.
He said late last week: "I do not advocate attacks on any religious community. Both I and the MCB have done everything possible to de-escalate the crisis ... we have explained all our concerns and have met with parliamentarians to move on. But the government has tried to publicly humiliate me ... I felt obliged to defend myself in a legal manner against these serious and defamatory allegations."
A spokesperson for the Department for Communities and Local Government said: "We have been in dialogue with the MCB since 6 March 2009 seeking clarification of the actions taken by Dr Abdullah in relation to the serious issues raised by the articles in the Istanbul declaration."
He continued: "We are concerned with those articles which appear to call for violence and Dr Abdullah's repeated unwillingness to distance himself from those articles specifically."
