22 to 19!
it's been a minute since i wrote a blog sooooo, i just thought i'd do one. so today i guess their was a decision made amongst Nicki &management, whomever that may be, to take 3 songs off the new up incoming album 'Pink Friday: ROMAN RELOADED' [PAUSE] GO BUY THE ALBUM 4. 3. 12!!!! ROMAN I SNATCHING WIGS. PUBIC HAIRS. BALD BITCHES ETC ETC. SO YOU BETTER GET TO GLUING IF YOU WANT YOURS TO STAY ON! [BACK TO BLOG] so now instead of the regular 22 songs, their will only be 19. & i'm guessing some people are unhappy about it because moments later, Nicki tweeted 'Greed Kills' after. i mean what are yall unhappy or mad about? i mean this album has 19 songs on it! you should be happy she's even having that many on the album. me im so ecstatic about the album i cannot wait til buy both copies in the store. the regular &deluxe version. but anyway, people are so ungrateful. Nicki doesn't even have to keep us informed about what's going on with the album, so we should consider this a blessing & start appreciating her because she can EASILY take these things away from us. she spoils us so much already, like how are you not happy with what she's already done for us? do you even take the time to tell her [tweet] or say 'thank you'? smh. The one's who are sodium about the songs being taken off the album need to re-evaluate themselves & be THANKFUL. seriously. cause it just doesn't make sense.
No one has commented yet.

Reporting on the Venice Film Festival screening of Hayao Miyazaki's latest animated opus, Time Magazine confirms that Disney will release Pony on the Cliff By the Sea in North America sometime in 2009. Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy, who last year brought Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis to U.S. auds, are producing the English-language version.
Ponyo centers on a five-year-old boy's friendship with a 'girl-fish' who wants to be human and ventures out of her underwater world. The plot echoes elements from Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid fairy tale, as well as traditional Japanese folklore, and boy's character is based on Miyazaki's own son, Goro. Miyazaki was reportedly directly involved in many aspects of the animation himself, preferring to draw the sea and waves himself. The movie debuted in Japan on July 19 and opened to roughly $17 million.
The pic has been a big hit with critics and fans in Venice. No U.S. release date has been announced, though some say we could see begin its limited release it in April. Watch the Japanese trailer below.

CHILDREN at Chawson First School in Droitwich got the chance to practice their footballing skills ahead of the World Cup with a visit from the Kidderminster Harriers.
The visit was organised through the Harriers' Football in the Community programme which saw more than 300 pupils from across the year groups taking time out to have a go at a range of footballing skills.
The children from years one to four, also took part in a quiz, testing them on their knowledge for when the World Cup begins.
One pupil, Morgan Hughes, said: "I was impressed with the different types of football equipment on offer as it allowed me to improve my dribbling skills.
"I also enjoyed the World Cup activities. I'm very excited for the start of the World Cup."

Record crowd on hand as Phil Mickelson continues torrid pace at Phoenix Open
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Phil Mickelson drew the loudest roars from the biggest crowd in golf history Saturday at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Mickelson nearly aced the 16th, hitting a 9-iron to a foot to set up a birdie on the rowdy stadium hole packed with nearly 20,000 screaming fans.
Estimated at 179,022, the third-round crowd broke the record of 173,210 set last year, also on a Saturday at fan-friendly TPC Scottsdale. The event has drawn 467,030 for the week and is in position to break the mark of 538,356 set in 2008.
Mickelson birdied the final four holes and five of the last six for a 7-under 64 and a six-stroke lead over Brandt Snedeker.
"I know how good Snedeker is and how hot he can get with a putter," Mickelson said. "He can make birdie from just about anywhere. He's going to make a run tomorrow. I, hopefully, will be able to keep pace."
The 42-year-old former Arizona State star has led after each round, a 60 followed by a 65. He fell a stroke short of the PGA Tour record for the first 54 holes and matched the tournament mark set by Mark Calcavecchia in 2001.
Making his 24th appearance in the event that he won in 1996 and 2005, Mickelson is trying to complete his third career wire-to-wire victory.
After playing the first 12 holes in 2 under, the left-hander got up and down from greenside bunkers for birdies on the par-5 13th and 15th holes, followed with the tap-in on 16, then chipped to 2 feet on the 337-yard 17th.
A day after double-bogeying the hole, Mickelson blasted driver over the water and into the grandstand at 18. He got a free drop, hit to 15 feet and holed the putt to another round of cheers.

1. Re: Nook / Netflix Hellraqball Dec 28, 2011 7:38 PM (in response to Lightguy79)Why blame B&N if the issue is not theirs? If it works fine on other wifi networks then the easy solution is the problem is on your end.. My 1st though is that your home firewall may be blocking a port that is needed.. Some routers require you to enable this port for use...
2. Re: Nook / Netflix HellLightguy79 Dec 28, 2011 8:36 PM (in response to raqball)
Thank you raqball, but if you would have read my post you would have known that I had removed my firewall so there is no need for port forwarding. Also, I had the IP address of the Nook in the DMZ of my router.
Pllease read the entire post next time.
3. Re: Nook / Netflix Hellraqball Dec 28, 2011 9:02 PM (in response to Lightguy79)I did read the whole post... Are you aware that the ISP and or modem (not only the router) could be blocking the port? If it works on other networks, then the issue lay somewhere on your connection be it ISP / Modem / Router and or all....
4. Re: Nook / Netflix Hellfredsdavis Dec 28, 2011 9:54 PM (in response to Lightguy79)My experience with B&N is that they have the worst CS going. You're right about the iPad. I didn't save $250 by buying a Nook Tablet. I threw $250 away.

The store might have Cox, but it would be Cox business and you would Cox Residential at home. It's possible you have bandwidth restrictions with your plan . . Cox offers different levels of plans for Internet use and at home you may bandwidth restrictions. If you know someone with an Ipad or another Nook, you could try it in your house and see if you get the same results.

I recommend you reset all of your network units to the original default settings.
With all of the recommendations from cox.
it was the DNS servers that killed me. I had changed to opendns.
When I changed to Google DNS servers, it worked.

Go to speakeasy.net and do a speed test. That will tell you your up/down speeds
I have DSL lite at home. I get 1.3 mbps down (receive) and .43mbps up (send) and Netflix works fine for me. I have to let youtube vids buffer or they will stop during playback.
Cable is not, as a rule, better than DSL. Standard speeds on both avg 3 up .75 down I believe MAX available at this time is 7 up, 3 down. *some offer 10/5 but that is hard to get unless the facilities(cable btwn you and the ntwk equip) are perfect*
A problem that cable has that DSL doesn't is the LOOP. DSL is a straight connection btwn you and the ntwk equip. Cable has sev cust tied to the same loop then to the ntwk. peak times in your neighborhood will effect your speed where as DSL is only hindered by NTWK traffic.
With all the bandwidth hungry apps/programs/services etc etc becoming more mainstream the BIG problem is that the MAIN pipe that internet traffic rides is getting close to maxing out. (there is bandwidth in reserve but the telecoms/ISP's don't want to spend the $$ to make it usable just yet)
My conspiracy theory is this: Just like oil they will get us hooked(done) force shortages(soon) then raise prices
Just a theory
8. Re: Nook / Netflix Hellbobstro Jan 5, 2012 11:06 AM (in response to phoneboy)
Phoneboy, cable speeds are routinely over 10 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up now. I subscribe the a basic tier of service out here in a little town of 15,000, and I'm getting roughly 14 Mbps down and 2 Mbps upstream. I originally subscribed to their 3 Mbps service when I moved here about 8 years ago, and they keep bumping up my speeds without my asking.
That is, I believe, one of the key advantages of cable systems: They can make significant upgrades with just software changes.
DSL offerings still tend to be at the lower end in comparison. While it's true that cable bandwidth is "shared" (who can forget the old DSL commercials), all bandwidth is shared somewhere along between the customer and wherever they're going on the Internet. DSL providers share further up the chain than cable, perhaps, but share nonetheless. The point being that the network must be adequately designed and configured to sustain the desired speeds. If my bandwidth is shared, but I'm still getting stellar up and down speeds, do I really care?
You're right about the conspiracy, though: It's Tiered Internet!

If Lightguy79's problem is his Internet connection speed, the most expensive tablet in the world won't make any difference whatsoever.

Marc Anthony recalls career beginnings
Marc Anthony feels "blessed" to have made it in the music industry.
The 45-year-old star is a bona fide international ambassador for Latin music and culture, beginning his career in the industry with his freestyle record Rebel in 1988. He has since gone on to bring the genre into the limelight, and even hit musicians like Bruno Mars have turned to him for advice.
Marc recalled a time when Cuban-American rapper Pitbull asked him for words of wisdom.
"There comes a time when you've been in the game for so long that people wonder how you did it. I have a lot of stories to tell," he smiled to Men's Fitness magazine. "I love those exchanges. I got smacked around early on, and it was hard, but to me it was part of the game. As blessed as I am, my heart goes out to any artist who has to do it on his own."
When asked what his best advice for the younger generation wanting to follow their dreams is, Marc kept it simple.
"Be responsible," he recommended. "Even when you lose, even if it's a bad deal, keep your word, show up on time, and be professional. That's how you maintain yourself in this industry. Even if you're losing, even if you did a show and you could have made $500 and they paid you $50 and you're p**sed off, you gave your word, so you show up and let it be a lesson."
Marc has twins Emme and Max with ex-wife Jennifer Lopez and sons Cristian and Ryan with first spouse Dayanara Torres, along with daughter Ariana with former girlfriend Debbie Rosado. Being a father has made him aware of how easily young celebrities are led down a destructive path, but he thinks it's better to experience these things early on.
"Once you get that out of your system, you have a better shot at getting your priorities straight," he added.

Hollywood legend Paul Newman is alive and well.
Earlier today, the actor's charity, "The Hole in the Wall Gang," began receiving calls from journalists and concerned parties asking if the 83-year-old actor had died, following rumors which circulated among the media.
An executive director for the charity confirmed to Access Hollywood, the actor is indeed, fine.
Longtime Variety columnist Army Archerd also confirmed the news after calling the "Cool Hand Luke" actor's wife, Joanne Woodward, who said her husband is currently racing cars in Texas.
This is not the first time rumors have circulated that Newman had died. In 2006, it was reported that the actor might have died in a plane crash in Colorado.

As UpCounsel reported on April 16, 2013, the Supreme Court is set to decide the Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics case–the gene patent case–in June 2013 based on the oral arguments it heard on April 15. The case was originally fired up in the media and public mind in large part due to the controversy surrounding patents on the BRCA1 and 2 genes, also known as the breast cancer susceptibility genes. Especially given the radical ethical conflicts stirred up by the discovery of the genes—preventive mastectomies, for example, which have been elected since the discovery even by women who do not carry the genes—have stirred heated debate.
The question of human gene patents is now before the court. The issue is whether human genes are unpatentable as products of nature or if, instead, they are somehow created by the hands of humans. This means that the court will only be deciding whether genes themselves are patentable; it does not touch whether or not any specific applications for patents should be granted. The "inventor" of each proposed gene patent (like any other proposed patent) would still need to show that their gene was novel, nonobvious, and explicitly described.
The Myriad case is interesting in part because the claim in the case is that human genes are subject to product patents, not that method patents should be granted to those that discover human genes, isolate them, or ascertain the function of the genes using their own processes. Since the owner of a product patent can stop any other person or company from making, selling or using the patented product without his permission and the "product" in question here is a human gene that can stop a deadly cancer, there are many ethical issues raised by the case. The product patent prohibits use without permission, and it doesn't matter what kind of use it is.
On the other hand, a method patent simply prohibits exact copying of a specific process. In the case at bar here if a researcher came up with a different way to test for and isolate the breast cancer gene there would be no violation of a method patent. It should come as no surprise to anyone that IP lawyers enjoy product patents as the stronger form of protection.
It seems most likely that simple isolation of human DNA will not be enough for product patentability and the granting of human gene patents. However, the court may well decide to take the middle road and allow product patents for cDNA, a synthesized type of DNA made without the non-coding sequences that natural genomic DNA has. While it is certainly worth noting that there is little functional difference between DNA and cDNA, the cDNA is synthesized and wouldn't exist without human intervention. Furthermore, this compromise of sorts would balance the fears of human gene patent advocates that without patent-related profits innovation will be stalled.
Ethical and philosophical considerations aside, who will actually care about or be impacted by this decision? Frankly, even Myriad probably won't care that much. Sequencing technology is growing by leaps and bounds, and it won't be long before isolating individual genes isn't even necessary for diagnostic testing. These advances will render the existing gene patents and the rule handed down by the court irrelevant to other companies. And even Myriad is using different strategies as it moves forward. Since expansion in Europe is a particular goal of Myriad and the public health systems in European countries are hostile to gene patents like those on the BRCA genes, the company has no choice but to pursue different avenues of innovation.
Of course the ethical and philosophical considerations do remain interesting enough to keep us all on the edges of our seats. It's simply worth noting that the excitement isn't because the case is going to reshape the legal landscape in a major way.

Does anybody still believe there's anything to be gained through publicly announcing added evidence that Pakistan's spy agency and perhaps other state forces allegedly played a role in the planning and execution of the November 2008 terrorist attacks on Mumbai?
Apparently. Or at least that's what it seems like from the pronouncements by Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram over the past week or so -- which began practically before police could get the cuffs on Zabiuddin Ansari, aka Abu Jundal.
So far, Chidambaram and other Indian officials have revealed that Ansari/Jundal has told interrogators that there were about 10 people in the Karachi "control room" that ran the Mumbai attacks by remote control. They've said Ansari/Jundal has admitted to guiding the attackers himself by telephone. And they've revealed that Ansari/Jundal told them that men who appeared to be officers in Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) were in the control room and helped a Lashkar-e-Taiba communications expert to set it up. He also said that the room had at least four laptops with voice over internet protocol (VoIP) connects, though it foxes me why that's important.
Has Pakistan suddenly 'fessed up and offered to make some arrests, look at sketches of the two men in the control room who Ansari/Jundal says "looked like ISI officers" or offered to pay reparations for the lives lost in the attacks?
Of course not. And the added "proof" -- I'm not sure how reliable we should consider this guy, and so far we're getting stuff second hand from interrogations rather than court testimony -- hasn't done much but sent India-Pakistan relations spiraling backward.
Chidambaram's counterpart in Pakistan, Rehman Malik, has answered his every utterance with a (okay, not very convincing) denial. When Ansari/Jundal was first nabbed, reportedly thwarting Pakistani diplomatic efforts to get him spirited out of Saudi Arabia, Malik's reaction was that he couldn't be Pakistani if he was a criminal traveling on a stolen passport. (That Ansari/Jundal is an Indian citizen wasn't at issue). A few days later he demanded that India apologize for sending a newly released prisoner to Pakistan to spy on its age-old enemy -- 30 years ago!
And in the latest response, Pakistani authorities claimed that there were at least 40 Indian nationals involved in the Mumbai attacks.
"Our information is that there were at least 40 Indian nationals who helped the attackers. We want India to come clean on this," an unnamed official of Pakistan's Foreign Office was quoted as saying by The Express Tribune, according to the HT.
That may well be true. And if it is, maybe India would benefit from announcing it along with all the other revelations it's unloading in real time from the interrogation cell. But it's also a bit off-topic, if we're talking about allegations that the ISI was driving the whole operation.
But the back and forth shows one thing for sure. If there was ever any hope that catching the Mumbai attackers would ease tensions between India and Pakistan, it's dead and cremated now.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 Review: Retaking The Performance Crownby Ryan Smith on March 22, 2012 9:00 AM EST
The Kepler Architecture: Efficiency & Scheduling
So far we've covered how NVIDIA has improved upon Fermi for; now let's talk about why.
Mentioned quickly in our introduction, NVIDIA's big push with Kepler is efficiency. Of course Kepler needs to be faster (it always needs to be faster), but at the same time the market is making a gradual shift towards higher efficiency products. On the desktop side of matters GPUs have more or less reached their limits as far as total power consumption goes, while in the mobile space products such as Ultrabooks demand GPUs that can match the low power consumption and heat dissipation levels these devices were built around. And while strictly speaking NVIDIA's GPUs haven't been inefficient, AMD has held an edge on performance per mm2 for quite some time, so there's clear room for improvement.
In keeping with that ideal, for Kepler NVIDIA has chosen to focus on ways they can improve Fermi's efficiency. As NVIDIA's VP of GPU Engineering, Jonah Alben puts it, "[we've] already built it, now let's build it better."
There are numerous small changes in Kepler that reflect that goal, but of course the biggest change there was the removal of the shader clock in favor of wider functional units in order to execute a whole warp over a single clock cycle. The rationale for which is actually rather straightforward: a shader clock made sense when clockspeeds were low and die space was at a premium, but now with increasingly small fabrication processes this has flipped. As we have become familiar with in the CPU space over the last decade, higher clockspeeds become increasingly expensive until you reach a point where they're too expensive – a point where just distributing that clock takes a fair bit of power on its own, not to mention the difficulty and expense of building functional units that will operate at those speeds.
With Kepler the cost of having a shader clock has finally become too much, leading NVIDIA to make the shift to a single clock. By NVIDIA's own numbers, Kepler's design shift saves power even if NVIDIA has to operate functional units that are twice as large. 2 Kepler CUDA cores consume 90% of the power of a single Fermi CUDA core, while the reduction in power consumption for the clock itself is far more dramatic, with clock power consumption having been reduced by 50%.
Of course as NVIDIA's own slide clearly points out, this is a true tradeoff. NVIDIA gains on power efficiency, but they lose on area efficiency as 2 Kepler CUDA cores take up more space than a single Fermi CUDA core even though the individual Kepler CUDA cores are smaller. So how did NVIDIA pay for their new die size penalty?
Obviously 28nm plays a significant part of that, but even then the reduction in feature size from moving to TSMC's 28nm process is less than 50%; this isn't enough to pack 1536 CUDA cores into less space than what previously held 384. As it turns out not only did NVIDIA need to work on power efficiency to make Kepler work, but they needed to work on area efficiency. There are a few small design choices that save space, such as using 8 SMXes instead of 16 smaller SMXes, but along with dropping the shader clock NVIDIA made one other change to improve both power and area efficiency: scheduling.
GF114, owing to its heritage as a compute GPU, had a rather complex scheduler. Fermi GPUs not only did basic scheduling in hardware such as register scoreboarding (keeping track of warps waiting on memory accesses and other long latency operations) and choosing the next warp from the pool to execute, but Fermi was also responsible for scheduling instructions within the warps themselves. While hardware scheduling of this nature is not difficult, it is relatively expensive on both a power and area efficiency basis as it requires implementing a complex hardware block to do dependency checking and prevent other types of data hazards. And since GK104 was to have 32 of these complex hardware schedulers, the scheduling system was reevaluated based on area and power efficiency, and eventually stripped down.
The end result is an interesting one, if only because by conventional standards it's going in reverse. With GK104 NVIDIA is going back to static scheduling. Traditionally, processors have started with static scheduling and then moved to hardware scheduling as both software and hardware complexity has increased. Hardware instruction scheduling allows the processor to schedule instructions in the most efficient manner in real time as conditions permit, as opposed to strictly following the order of the code itself regardless of the code's efficiency. This in turn improves the performance of the processor.
However based on their own internal research and simulations, in their search for efficiency NVIDIA found that hardware scheduling was consuming a fair bit of power and area for few benefits. In particular, since Kepler's math pipeline has a fixed latency, hardware scheduling of the instruction inside of a warp was redundant since the compiler already knew the latency of each math instruction it issued. So NVIDIA has replaced Fermi's complex scheduler with a far simpler scheduler that still uses scoreboarding and other methods for inter-warp scheduling, but moves the scheduling of instructions in a warp into NVIDIA's compiler. In essence it's a return to static scheduling.
Ultimately it remains to be seen just what the impact of this move will be. Hardware scheduling makes all the sense in the world for complex compute applications, which is a big reason why Fermi had hardware scheduling in the first place, and for that matter why AMD moved to hardware scheduling with GCN. At the same time however when it comes to graphics workloads even complex shader programs are simple relative to complex compute applications, so it's not at all clear that this will have a significant impact on graphics performance, and indeed if it did have a significant impact on graphics performance we can't imagine NVIDIA would go this way.
What is clear at this time though is that NVIDIA is pitching GTX 680 specifically for consumer graphics while downplaying compute, which says a lot right there. Given their call for efficiency and how some of Fermi's compute capabilities were already stripped for GF114, this does read like an attempt to further strip compute capabilities from their consumer GPUs in order to boost efficiency. Amusingly, whereas AMD seems to have moved closer to Fermi with GCN by adding compute performance, NVIDIA seems to have moved closer to Cayman with Kepler by taking it away.
With that said, in discussing Kepler with NVIDIA's Jonah Alben, one thing that was made clear is that NVIDIA does consider this the better way to go. They're pleased with the performance and efficiency they're getting out of software scheduling, going so far to say that had they known what they know now about software versus hardware scheduling, they would have done Fermi differently. But whether this only applies to consumer GPUs or if it will apply to Big Kepler too remains to be seen.

blppt - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkWondering if you guys could also add a benchmark for one the current crop of 1ghz core 7970s that are available now (if you've tested any). Otherwise, great review. Reply
tipoo - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkWith everything being said by Nvidia, I thought this would be a Geforce 8k series class jump, while its really nothing close to that and trades blows with AMDs 3 month old card. GCN definitely had headroom so I can see lower priced, higher clocked AMD cards coming out soon to combat this. Still, I'm glad this will bring things down to sane prices. Reply
MarkusN - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkWell to be honest, this wasn't supposed to be Nvidias successor to the GTX 580 anyway. This graphics card replaced the GTX 560 Ti, not the GTX 580. GK 110 will replace the GTX 580, even if you can argue that the GTX 680 is now their high-end card, it's just a replacement for the GTX 560 Ti so I can just dream about the performance of the GTX 780 or whatever they're going to call it. ;) Reply
tipoo - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkI didn't know that, thanks. Ugh, even more confusing naming schemes. Reply
Articuno - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkIf this is supposed to replace the 560 Ti then why does it cost $500 and why was it released before the low-end parts instead of before the high-end parts? Reply
MarkusN - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkIt costs that much because Nvidia realized that it outperforms/trades blows with the HD 7970 and saw an opportunity to make some extra cash, which basically sucks for us consumers. There are those that say that the GTX 680 is cheaper and better than the HD 7970 and think it costs just the right amount, but as usual it's us, the customers, that are getting the shaft again. This card should've been around $300-350 in my opinion, no matter if it beats the HD 7970. Reply
coldpower27 - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkNah, they aren't obligated to give more then what the market will bear, no sense in starting a price war when they can have much fatter margins, it beats the 7970 already it's just enough.
Now the ball is in AMD's court let's see if they can drop prices to compete $450 would be a nice start, but $400 is necessary to actually cause significant competition. Reply
CeriseCogburn - Friday, March 23, 2012 - linkThis whole thing is so nutso but everyone is saying it.
Let's take a thoughtful sane view...
The GTX580 flagship was just $500, and a week or two ago it was $469 or so.
In what world, in what release, in the past let's say ten years even, has either card company released their new product with $170 or $200 off their standard flagship price when it was standing near $500 right before the release ?
The answer is it has never, ever happened, not even close, not once.
With the GTX580 at $450, there's no way a card 40% faster is going to be dropped in at $300, no matter what rumor Charlie Demejerin at Semi0-Accurate has made up from thin air up as an attack on Nvidia, a very smart one for not too bright people it seems.
Please, feel free to tell me what flagship has ever dropped in cutting nearly $200 off the current flagship price ?
Any of you ?!? Reply
Lepton87 - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkBecause nVidia decided to screw its costumer and nickle and dime them. That's why. All because 7970 underperformed and nv could get away with it. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, March 22, 2012 - linkOr: Because NVIDIA and AMD and Intel are all businesses, and when you launch a hot new product and lots of people are excited to get one, you sell at a price premium for as long as you can. Then supply equals demand and then exceeds demand and that's when you start dropping prices. 7970 didn't underperform; people just expected/wanted more. Realistically, we're getting to the point where doubling performance with a process shrink isn't going to happen, and even 50% improvements are rare. 7970 and 680 are a reflection of that fact.

Pellegrini wins 200 freestyle at Europeans
Pellegrini won in 1 minute, 55.45 seconds, more than 2 seconds off her world record set last year but 1.08 seconds faster than the meet best she set on Friday.
For the Italian's second medal of the meet after an 800 free bronze, she was 1.53 seconds ahead of Silke Lippok of Germany. Hungary's Agnes Mutina was third.
Pellegrini was just third after the first lap, moved up to second behind Lippok at the halfway point, and took gold by swimming the last lap more than 2 seconds quicker than her German rival.
Pellegrini, the world and Olympic champ in the event, has also won it three times in European short-course championships.
Lotte Friis of Denmark led from start to finish in the women's 1,500 freestyle, touching in 15:59.13. Grainne Murphy of Ireland was 3.16 seconds behind. Erika Villaecija of Spain finished third.
"I was still tired from the 800," said Friis, who won the 800 freestyle on Thursday and was back in the pool Friday for the qualifying heats of the 1,500. "I think it is stupid to schedule these long distance events without a one-day break. Today I knew I would be able to win, but thought it would be closer."
Aliaksandra Herasimenia of Belarus won the gold medal in the women's 50 backstroke, breaking her own meet record set Friday of 27.98 seconds.
Herasimenia's time of 27.64 was 0.35 seconds better than Daniela Samulski's of Romania. Spaniard Mercedes Peris was third, a mere 0.02 seconds behind the Romanian.
"This is a great day for me. I won this gold medal and can't yet believe it," said Herasimenia, a native of Minsk and a silver medalist in the 100 freestyle on Wednesday. "You can only swim your own race in the 50 meters, and not look over to the others."
Samulski was satisfied with her time of 27.99 and second place.
"I desperately wanted to swim under 28 seconds and that's what I achieved, Samulski said. "That's my best time in a textile swim suit."
The 30th edition of the European championships ending Sunday is the first major international event where competitors can no longer wear the neck-to-ankle outfits that helped set dozens of world records in recent years.
Evgeny Korotyshkin of Russia improved on the meet record he shared with Ukraine's Andriy Serdinov by winning the men's 100 butterfly in 51.73 seconds. Joeri Verlinden of the Netherlands was 0.09 seconds off the pace. Konrad Czerniak of Poland was third.
The men's 200 backstroke went to Stanislav Donets of Russia, who swam 1:57.18 and only just managed to ward off a late rally from Markus Rogan of Austria.

You have obviously noticed that from time to time, the price goes up and the amount of chocolate per bar changes. So what I have done is to take the price and turned it into the price of chocolate per ounce of a Hershey bar. What you can see here is that, surprise, surprise, the price of chocolate per ounce of a Hershey bar has risen over that period, and in fact is up about 12-fold. Measured thusly, the dollar has lost 92% of its purchasing power. Interestingly enough, however, the value of Hershey's stock, since it came public in 1927, is up about 295-fold, with one share purchased at $39.58 now worth 180 shares at roughly $65 dollars. Even after adjusting for inflation, as I have calculated it, that's still a gain of 14 to 15 times in after-inflation terms. Obviously, Hershey's has been one of the rare, huge winners. In the mania, all stocks were expected to eventually do as well "over time," as people were blinded by long-term returns of stocks like Hershey's -- though they were more interested in stocks like chocolate.com -- and completely oblivious to the risks. But folks were also completely oblivious to the No. 1 financial risk that we all face as investors/citizens, and that is inflation. In that regard, I consider the Fed to be public enemy No. 1. Not only did guys like Greenspan, McDonough and McTeer help the Fed power the mania by making up new-era rationalizations for it, since the market peaked in March 2000, they have fomented another bubble, this one in housing prices. This has enabled consumers to continue to live beyond their means, thereby making the ultimate adjustment more protracted. Rather than taking the bubble as a warning sign and urging folks get their financial house in order, the Fed has given folks the shovel, via the housing bubble, to dig themselves deeper and deeper in the hole. It's sort of like lending money to somebody who had a margin call, rather than making him meet the margin call, and then lowering margin requirements as well, so he can buy more. That is, in essence, what has occurred in the housing market, as many people have increased their mortgages as housing prices have gone up.

text: Symptoms and causes By Mayo Clinic Staff Print SymptomsSigns and symptoms of chilblains may include: Small, itchy red areas on your skin, often on your feet or hands Possible blistering or skin ulcers Swelling of your skin Burning sensation on your skin Changes in skin color from red to dark blue, accompanied by pain When to see a doctor Chilblains will usually get better on their own. Seek medical care to check for complications if the pain is unusually severe, if you suspect an infection, or if your symptoms aren't improving after one to two weeks. If the symptoms extend into the warm season, see a doctor to rule out other conditions. If you have diabetes or poor circulation, healing may be impaired. Be cautious and seek care. CausesNo one knows exactly what causes chilblains. They may be an abnormal reaction of your body to cold exposure followed by rewarming. Rewarming of cold skin can cause small blood vessels under the skin to expand more quickly than nearby larger blood vessels can handle. This results in a bottleneck effect and the blood leaking into nearby tissues. Risk factorsFactors that may increase your risk of chilblains include: Clothing that is tight or exposes skin to the cold. Wearing tight-fitting clothing and shoes in cold, damp weather may make you more susceptible to chilblains. And skin that's exposed to cold, damp conditions is more likely to develop chilblains. Your sex and weight. Women are more likely to get chilblains than are children and males. Also, people who weigh about 20 percent less than is expected for their height have an increased risk of chilblains. Environment and season. Chilblains are less likely in colder and drier areas because the living conditions and clothing used in these areas are more protective against cold. Your risk of chilblains is higher if you live in an area with high humidity and cold, but not freezing, temperatures. They are more common from November to April. Having poor circulation. People with poor circulation tend to be more sensitive to changes in temperature, making them more susceptible to chilblains. Having been diagnosed with Raynaud's disease. People with Raynaud's disease are more susceptible to chilblains. Either condition can result in sores, but Raynaud's causes different types of color changes on the skin. ComplicationsChilblains may cause complications if your skin blisters. If that happens, you may develop ulcers and infections. Besides being painful, infections are potentially life-threatening if left untreated. See a doctor if you suspect infection.

I Sleep With My Fan, And My Fan Sleeps With Me.My fan comforts me. I have to sleep with it, when I'm alone. The weird thing is, that if I'm not alone I don't need it. Confession of the day: The cutest thing ever happened last night. This guy I'm into stayed the night, nothing naughty, we just cuddled. Anyway, we're just laying in my bed and he goes "how do you sleep without a fan?" which made me burst out laughing, and I was like I ALWAYS sleep with a fan, that's crazy. Turns out he does too. Match made in Heaven? I think yes. Fans are great.

Avalanche Advisory for Monday, 2-04-2013
Expires at Midnight, 2-04-2013
Tuckerman and Huntington Ravines have Low avalanche danger. Natural and human triggered avalanches are unlikely except in isolated terrain features. Isolated pockets of slab do exist with in isolated terrain features so see the fine points addressed below.
Upslope snow events keep giving us scant amounts of new precipitation changing little on the mountain, but they are keeping us on our toes. Since late on Friday we've picked up about 2" of new snow on the Washington massif as of midnight, with an additional "trace to 2 inches" forecasted for the next 18 hours. Over the weekend relatively very light winds have moved little snow into the ravines. Therefore 1-2" still sits above treeline waiting to board their flights from the alpine zone concourse later today as wind velocities rise. Winds will increase from 40-65mph to 85mph with higher gusts in the afternoon. This will start a loading event for the Ravines, predominately in Tuckerman Center Bowl and Lip. So when we discuss a "loading event" the danger should be above Low right? Well….usually.
Last week's thaw has created scattered nooks and crannies above treeline that will be small catchment areas providing less snow for transport to lower slopes. The warm spell with rain also dramatically reduced the thin size of bed surfaces for future avalanches. These 2 points were the drivers in our forecasters meeting this morning and the decision factors to keep areas at Low. To recap, we will have some loading today and get close to 'Moderate' in several areas such as Tuckerman's Lip, Center Bowl and Chute. In Huntington Ravine, the target areas to watch will be Central, Pinnacle and Odell. Treat new pockets with suspicion as they will be loading on either old icy surfaces or on a thin layer of unconsolidated snow. However the peppered distribution of any new slabs will be able to be avoided by remaining on old surfaces. This isolated nature of slabs fits well within the "Low" rating, but expect an increasing danger trend in strong lee areas over the next 24 hours.
As Frank mention yesterday the old hard surfaces are very slippery. These old surfaces are camouflaged by newer snow in places and threaten those on angled terrain with long sliding falls. An ice ax, crampons and the skills and experience to use them well are imperative. The Tuckerman Ravine trail from Pinkham to Hermit Lake has significant stretches of water ice erupting onto the surface and covered thinly by new snow. A minimum of ski poles and microspikes are needed to avoid frequent falls due to hidden blue ice. Time since the thaw has diminished the potential for ice dams on alpine climbs but the threat still exists. Running water under pressure behind surface ice may be looking for a release such as an ice tool placement. Protecting climbs with well thought out ice screws and rock gear is an intelligent choice. Soloists should keep the ice dam hazard in mind when selecting a route.
If you like an extreme challenge or are considering shaking out those old fillings the Sherburne trail will comply as very hard chattery ice exists. I would prefer ski runs that have the benefit of "eastern tillers" with deep grinding teeth to chew up water ice. It's rare that I would suggest lift serve sliding over the woods, but until we get at least a few inches it is rough going in the backcountry.
Please Remember:
- Safe travel in avalanche terrain requires training and experience. This advisory is just one tool to help you make your own decisions in avalanche terrain. You control your own risk by choosing where, when, and how you travel.
- Anticipate a changing avalanche danger when actual weather differs from the higher summits forecast.
- For more information contact the Forest Service Snow Rangers, the AMC at the Pinkham Notch Visitor Center, or the caretakers at Hermit Lake Shelters or the Harvard Cabin. Posted 8:25 2-04-2013 This advisory expires at midnight. A new advisory will be issued tomorrow.

A World of Gangs
Book by John M. Hagedorn, foreword by Mike Davis; University of Minnesota Press, 2008, 179 pp.
"IF YOU WANT TO RECRUIT A TERRORIST, go to the Chicago street gang," claimed Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, June 11, 2002 on the arrest of former gang member Jose Padilla at O'Hare Airport on charges of conspiracy to explode a "dirty bomb."
The treatment of street gang members as terrorists is one of the themes John M. Hagedorn explores in his book A World of Gangs. However, Hagedorn's analysis differs from the usual discussion of street gangs that describes them in sociological terms as irredeemable sociopaths. Rather than a fear-based study or a sociologic polemic, Hagedorn examines the globalization of gangs and gang culture as part of the process of neo-liberal globalization.
Hagedorn is an associate professor of criminology and senior research fellow at the Great Cities Institute at the University of Illinois-Chicago, the author of the book People and Folk: Gangs, Crime and the Underclass in a Rustbelt City, and the editor of Gangs in the Global City: Alternatives to Traditional Criminology.
When Hagedorn discusses gangs, he is looking at those gangs that have become institutionalized in such cities as Chicago, Rio de Janeiro, and Capetown, South Africa. His initial thesis is that the street gangs of today arose as a result of the failure of social movements to bring change. In order to prove this, Hagedorn analyzes the changes in the twin aspects of the nature of the state under neo-liberal capitalism and the enduring persistence and pervasiveness of racism.
The role of the state has changed in the era of globalization, from providing adequate employment, routine services, education and security to being an enabler of the market. Hagedorn postulates that where there is no control or regulation by legitimate forces in such areas as the inner city, the result is that violent forces will exert control. Previously, gangs had a different character—i.e., they were a sign of progress in shedding old world customs and in developing class struggle, events of hope for a better day. The hope that political action will alleviate misery is dimmed when non-state actors such as multi-national corporations exercise authority and control outcomes that were previously the domain of the state.
The imposition of neo-liberal capitalism and structural adjustments has resulted in the collapse of the state as the dominant actor in society, particularly in relation to urban areas. The effect of the retreat of the state is to give rise to warlords, drug lords, and gangs. The point is made that at one time, states were the masters of the markets—now markets control the state. Hagedorn quotes Arundhati Roy's analysis: "The thing to understand is that modern democracy is safely premised on an almost religious acceptance of the nation state. But corporate globalization is not. Liquid capital is not. So even though capital needs the coercive power of the nation to put down revolts in the servants' quarters, this set up ensures that no individual nation can oppose corporate globalization on its own."
The reduced role of the state gives rise to a form of hopelessness in political solutions. In Hagedorn's view this context distinguishes today's gangs from those of prior eras and accounts for the institutionalization of gangs and gang life in the urban cores of numerous world cities. In support of this analysis, Hagedorn describes the advance of the Hamburg Athletic Association (HAA), an Irish street gang of the early 20th century. The first mayor Daley, Richard J., belonged to this gang which gave him political support and launched his political career. HAA operated primarily in protecting its turf in the Irish Bridgeport neighborhood. HAA's (and Daley's) role in the 1919 anti-Negro riots is a classic example of the role of street gangs in protecting an ethnic or racial group. However, HAA was able to develop political power in Chicago and its remnants remain in control of many of the levers of power in Chicago today, including the Chicago Police Department.
Contrast the HAA with the Conservative Vice Lords (CVL) black street gang on the west side of Chicago. CVL was formed in the Lawndale neighborhood as it transitioned from Jewish to black for protection from white youths. When CVL started to become too violent, its leadership moved it toward a community organization with businesses, park development, parades, ethnic festivals, etc. At the time, CVL received funding from the Rockefeller Foundation and Clement Stone, the insurance magnet and icon of the Boys and Girls Clubs. After the insurrection following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., black people began to push for more political power. Additionally, in the late 1960s, Fred Hampton and the Black Panther Party began to work with street gangs, urging them to become more political and stop fighting among themselves.
On May 9, 1969, Mayor Daley, fearing growing political power in the black community independent of the Democratic machine, declared a war on gangs. This order essentially criminalized gangs and the leadership of CVL was imprisoned on any charges that could be made to stick. With CVL leadership in prison and cut off from jobs and the community, CVL moved to drug dealing and became institutionalized as a criminal organization.
Hagedorn credits the brutal crushing of the social movements of the 1960s as the active factor in the process of gang institutionalization. The classic view is that youth joined gangs because they were demoralized by the loss of the "old world" culture and religion, which coincided with the rise of the industrial era. However, Hagedorn argues that the optimism of the social movements of the 1960s could not be fulfilled due to the repression of the black, Latino, Native, and youth movements. Society went from a "war on poverty" to a "war on crime." The lesson learned was that no lasting relief from poverty and racism came from either the ballot box or the street, which fit eloquently with the rise of globalization in the same era as the social movements were crushed. In its essence, Hagedorn argues that decisions made by bankers and international corporations now have more impact than those of the state, but are subject to less political control. Those on the bottom of the social structure have become demoralized in a new way.
Coupled with the crushing of social movements, Hagedorn argues the persistence of racism has served to strengthen and institutionalize gangs and gang culture. He focuses on the legacy of slavery in the U.S. and Europe as creating the "other," which not only includes blacks but also people throughout the world of non-European ancestry. The treatment of black people, particularly youth, in the U.S. as the "other" generates the development of ghetto culture and lifestyles embodied in rap music, particularly gangsta rap and the need for defensible space within the urban landscape.
Neo-liberal capitalism in the new information age covets central cities for the urban professional class, which in the U.S., unlike Europe, is occupied by blacks and Latinos, and gangs. In U.S. cities, defensible space for urban gangs include housing projects and related urban space. Gentrification, ethnic cleansing by another name, occurs as whites move into gang-controlled territory creating inevitable conflict. Of course, middle class whites have the power of the state in the form of zoning laws, eminent domain, and other forms of "urban renewal." In the U.S., in order to be able to invoke the power of the police, gentrification became part of the war on drugs with the inevitable massive incarceration of black and Latino youth. Worldwide, in such cities as Capetown, Singapore, and São Paulo, Hagedorn points out, the pattern is the same: push the poor, dark, ethnic to the periphery of the city through police violence and reclaim the central space in the form of walled compounds of wealth. The war over urban space takes an initial form of pacification followed by forms of guerilla warfare. Those remaining in the central city develop cultures of resistance. Hagedorn explores these resistance identities and culture by examining rap and gangsta culture and the effect of its cooptation by corporate hip hop.
Hagedorn specifically focuses on this process in Chicago by looking at a two-prong attack—the destruction of public housing and the expansion of the gentry into center city neighborhoods close to the central business district with good public transportation. High-rise public housing in Chicago was constructed after World War II to house the black migration from the South. Since white ethnic neighborhoods refused to integrate, the solution was high rise projects in existing black neighborhoods. These high-rise projects, one part of them an eight mile stretch of dozens of building on the Southside, became gang space with resultant turf wars over drug sales. The current Mayor Daley saw these high rises as an obstacle to the global city he was trying to build, so the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) developed a plan to destroy 38,000 high-rise units and replace them with 21,000 "mixed income" units. Of course, the CHA never did track those displaced from the destroyed public housing and very few have returned to their neighborhoods to claim a spot in the mixed income developments. Hagedorn points out that a UN report called those driven from the public housing "internally displaced persons," like those Iraqis swept from their neighborhoods in the civil war of 2004-2007. The drive to bring the Olympics to Chicago in 2016 was part of this process, allowing the displacement of, primarily, blacks living in various coveted neighborhoods near Lake Michigan.
Gentrification increased police pressure on an already pressured population through the use of surveillance cameras and gang roundup laws. When those subtle methods did not work, increased police brutality and torture was employed. The ongoing Chicago police torture scandal is a testament to the dehumanization of the "other." Over a period of 20 years, police on Chicago's Southside tortured confessions from black men using methods such as electric shock, beatings, mock executions, and burning by tying the suspect to radiators. To date, no police officer has been held accountable, although this torture was a significant factor in Illinois' moratorium on the death penalty and the pardoning or commutation of sentences of dozens of men. It is notable that the present Mayor Daley was Cook County state's attorney during this period, prosecuting the men who were tortured into confessing. The rotation between prison and the street, with 9.2 percent of black males either in prison, on probation, or parole, has also been accelerated by this process.
One weakness in this book is its failure to examine the role of the left during the ongoing assault on black and Latino youth. At one point, Chicago enacted a so-called "Gang Loitering Ordinance" that essentially criminalized young people being on the street with other youth. During the three years of its enforcement, the police issued over 89,000 dispersal orders and arrested over 42,000 people for violating the ordinance. While ultimately held unconstitutional by both the Illinois and U.S. Supreme Courts, during the majority of its existence no progressive or leftist group denounced its racism and deprivation of civil rights. An analysis by Hagedorn of this silence and reluctance to act could have exposed the discomfort of many white leftists with black and Latino youth, gangs and gangsta culture—perhaps pointing out why a sustained multi-racial movement has never developed in Chicago.
However, this is a minor weakness and certainly not the thrust of the book. Hagedorn has deepened our understanding on why gangs have become institutionalized. Hagedorn's book is essential reading for anyone who wants an understanding of gangs and gangsta culture from the perspective of political economy.

Appetite for Destruction? The dos and don'ts of hockey hunger
By Michael Rand
Recreational hockey players who jump back into the sport as adults often do so for two key reasons: fitness and camaraderie.
Adult leagues certainly offer their share of both. The challenge, though, can be reaping the benefits of that increased exercise and not packing the calories back on during the post-game outings that help round out the experience for many players.
Here, then, are some nutrition tips to maximize your pre-game, in-game and post-game experience.
As a general rule, it's a good idea to consume a 300 to 400-calorie snack or small meal about 90 to 120 minutes before game time, says sports nutritionist Rebecca Mohning.
"That way you have good energy and don't end up getting hungry or have a drop in energy," Mohning says. "That should be a combo of protein and carbohydrates: Ideally a peanut butter sandwich or a turkey sandwich. Or a protein bar and a banana. Maybe some Greek yogurt and nuts or fruit."
Heavier meals laden with grease or red meat will sit in your stomach and "be hard to digest the whole time you are playing the game," Mohning says.
Right before game time, "you want something that's more of a liquid meal," says Pearle Nerenberg, who played college hockey at Cornell and is now the chair of the Hockey Nutrition Network. That means something like a protein shake, but that doesn't mean beer (we'll get to that in a minute).
What you put in your body leading up to a game might not weigh heavily on your mind, but consider this advice about your liquid intake:
"Hockey is one of those sports when you might not realize how much you are sweating," Mohning says. On a daily basis, she says a good hydration rule of thumb is to intake as much water, in ounces, as half your body weight, in pounds. So, if you are 200 pounds, you'll need about 100 ounces. "It takes about three days to catch up if you get dehydrated."
Mohning and Nerenberg both advise against sports drinks, believing water is the best way to stay hydrated without pouring in unnecessary calories. Mohning adds that limited amounts of a caffeinated beverage like iced tea can actually serve positive purposes.
"Two hundred milligrams of caffeine—the amount in two, 16-ounce glasses of iced tea—is what is considered safe daily," she says. "That amount of caffeine does not take out more fluid than what you ingest so it is not considered a diuretic. And [caffeine] prior to exercise has been shown to boost performance."
OK, we're finally getting to the good stuff. And luckily, most nutrition experts say you can enjoy a beer or two. But there are smart ways to go about your post-game fun.
Nerenberg notes that having a quick and healthy snack while still at the rink can help prevent eating too much later on at the post-game watering hole. Something as simple as a Greek yogurt, carrot sticks, or a banana can go a long way, she says.
"So when you get in front of those chicken wings later, it's not like you can eat 500. After five, you might feel pretty full," Nerenberg says.
That's important because cravings are inevitable.
"One of the challenges of going out to eat is there is typically a lot of fat in those meals," Mohning says.
Fries, burgers, sausages, milkshakes: these are all high-fat items that people tend to crave when they are hungry, especially after an intense activity like playing hockey.
"But really what [the body] really wants is lean protein—chicken, fish, salmon…and a fair amount of carbs like pasta or rice."
Likewise with beer, what you do in addition to having a cold one or two is important. "If you know you are going to have a beer, as a rule have an equal amount of water," Nerenberg says. "It will help you rehydrate better."
Mohning also preaches the gospel of water after the game. "Right away after you leave the ice, you should be pounding down the fluids," she says. "By the time you get to a restaurant and have a beer hopefully the hydration is restored by then."
In other words, if you plan ahead, enjoying that celebratory beer and brat after today's game doesn't have to come at the expense of your performance at the next one.

Boy, am I mad.
I just left academy sports; while there, I looked at a sig. There was a hellish storm going on outside, and nobody in the store, but the child behind the counter allowed me to wander around looking at the pistols and ignored me while he dusted the daisys.
He eventually walked past, and I grabbed him by the collar and expressed interest in the sig. He handed it to me, I cleared it and removed the magazine, then politely asked him to take out the trigger lock.
"would you mind taking out the trigger lock now?"
He said that they won't remove the trigger locks unless I am going to buy it.
You must be joking. I already have no opportunity to test fire, and have no recourse if it is broken, and can't even pick it up for 2 weeks. I'm supposed to buy this SOB without even knowing if my finger can fit through the guard, or if I can reach safety and other controls conveneintly? I can't hold it in my hand, and see if it points naturally, or if it gives a good sight picture?
I set the thing down and left, asked for a manager when I got to the front, and told them to pound sand when 3 minutes later I was still waiting.
"I'll just take this up with corporate."
So, now, I'm going to write an email to their offices suggesting several things.
First, do not put children behind the gun counter.
Set absolute and clear rules, and don't let some child refuse to allow a complete inspection of a handgun when that is not the policy of the store.
firearms and ammunition are a huge source of revenue, and this child lost them all possibiilty of making a $500 sale, as well as any hope of ammunition or follow up accessories.
The implication is that I am untrustworthy or stupid, and so forth. I'm 50, have LE training, I have fired more ammo than they have in their warehouse over my lifetime, and am a former nra instructor. I'm respectable looking and I was the only person in a 50 foot radius, and there were 3 employees within range of my voice. This sort of nonsense is unacceptable at any store, but I certainly expected better from them.

My local Academy has a couple real gun guys and a mix of typical retail clerks.
I think the gun guys are more comfortable removing the trigger lock to let you really check it out.
Too bad you had such an experience as Academy has some good prices.
Maybe try again during different hours to catch a different employee? I certainly agree you shouldn't have to do that, but it may work.
No brass. No ammo.

9/25/2017Executive Director (E2E) Peer Networking Session (Georgetown)
9/26/2017Executive Director (E2E) Peer Networking Session (Wilmington)
9/27/2017Executive Director (E2E) Peer Networking Session (Dover)
9/28/2017DANA Sussex County Meet & Greet
10/17/2017Financial Excellence Workshop (Wilmington)
It is hard to believe that a year ago I started this journey as CEO of DANA. During this first year, I have had the immense pleasure of meeting so many dedicated people working to better our state through philanthropy, governing, and nonprofit service. In the course of those conversations several themes emerged: 1) all agree that the agencies who serve Delaware make a difference in the community. 2) all agree that the funding landscape to support those services is shifting and shrinking, while it seems service demand increases, 3) that it is hard to know who is doing what in the State and how well, thus making it challenging to leverage and allocate resources and 4) all agree that this environment is not going to change unless we make it happen.
There are several initiatives in play that are helping us move forward towards solutions. The first is a project that DANA and the Delaware Grantmaker's Association (DGA) are working on to create a database that showcases nonprofits in the state, where they serve, and what they do. This will help nonprofit leaders better understand who they can partner with to leverage resources, and will better inform grantmakers on who does what as they allocate resources. The second is the Delaware Revenue Solutions Coalition's work to unify the philanthropy and nonprofit communities around State revenue growth to resource the services that make Delaware a great place to live. Third, DANA, the Delaware Community Foundation and the United Way of DE have partnered with the DE Business Times to promote philanthropy and have invited nonprofits to participate in the upcoming Giving Guide, scheduled to be released before "Giving Tuesday".
And finally, with the common interest by government, grantmakers and nonprofit leaders to agree on what outcomes matter, DANA and DGA are partnering together to host an event on November 29th to bring grantmaking and nonprofit leaders together to hear from David Grant, author of The Social Profit Handbook, on methods to qualitatively assess program effectiveness.
At the end of the day, though – communicating success is just as important as making it happen. I know there are many organizations making incredible headway on their mission every day. But not everyone knows that. So, I'm inviting DANA member nonprofits to share their impact stories through this blog. I'm closing the chapter on my "Endless Journey" blog – and opening a new one: Celebrating our Impact. Please send me your story to email@example.com, with a picture and brief paragraph on what you do and how it transforms lives or the community. This will be the basis for my blogs going forward. Collectively, our stories can help to inform the community on the great and impactful work nonprofits do across Delaware.
David Grant
giving Tuesday
At first the answers were focused on the organizational level: growth for the organization, donor and volunteer confidence, sustainability, staff support and reassurance, and more partnerships.
Then we took it to a higher level and looked at what an excellent board makes possible for the community: greater community involvement, more people receiving benefits, a healthier community, a greater economic development, improved community pride, and a greater quality of life.
When a nonprofit is formed, the board is typically focused on the community improvement aspects of their work - that is why they came together in the first place. Enthusiasm builds based on the possibilities of all that they can accomplish for their community. But over time, the need to raise funds, hire staff, meet legal and financial oversight requirements, etc., can make the work of the board seem administrative and less exciting.
Yet, it is in the excellence of leadership, planning, great governance, financial leadership, and resource provision that the board makes it possible for the organization and its staff to thrive. Through their work, the community is transformed; and it is all because they are operating based on a sound plan, have a strong balance sheet, and possess the confidence that they will be able to follow through with the promise of their mission.
So at times when board work may not seem very interesting, stop and ask yourself and your board - what does (insert non-interesting work activity here) make possible for our mission? How will it help board members have a greater understanding and confidence in our nonprofit's financial position? How will it instill confidence in donors? And with donors feeling confident in our good stewardship - how will the gifts they give make a difference to the community we desire to be better? Reminding board members how their planning, oversight, governance and policy work will make many things possible can be the catalyst to stimulate the decision leadership needed to move the organization forward.
The possibilities for better communities begin when nonprofit boards operate with excellence. DANA's Board Excellence workshops and retreats can help nonprofit Directors better realize their board and organization's potential. To learn more visit our website at delawarenonprofit.org.

London, September 2 (ANI): Catherine Zeta-Jones' friends are concerned that the breakdown of her marriage with husband Michael Douglas could affect her mental health.
A close friend of the 43-year-old actress, former TV presenter Anna Walker, said she is very worried as the next few weeks will be very tough for Zeta-Jones, the Daily Star reported.
Walker revealed that the 'No Reservations' star just had another round of treatment for her bipolar disorder, and it will be a miracle if she kept that in check.
The ex-anchor insisted that the Welsh actress' mother is with her at the moment and good medication can really help with her problem.
It is believed that Jones' bipolar disorder, which causes severe mood swings, was triggered by her husband's battle with throat cancer.
Douglas and Jones are currently trying to patch things up and have started seeking counseling to save their family from falling apart. (ANI)

Frequently Asked Questions
HuntingAs a landowner, do I have to purchase the hunting lease license or can that be the responsibility of the hunter who leased my property?
As stated in Question 4, a hunting lease license is required of the landowner or landowner's agent. Furthermore, the department may issue a hunting lease license only in the name of the owner of a hunting lease or the name of the landowner's agent. If the landowner designates a hunter as a landowner agent, then the hunter may purchase the hunting lease license.

Opko Health
Another healthcare player that insiders are jumping into here is Opko Health (OPK), which is a multi-national pharmaceutical and diagnostics company. Insiders are buying this stock into big time strength, since shares are up 76% in 2013.
Opko Health has a market cap of $3.4 billion and an enterprise value of $3.5 billion. This stock trades at a premium valuation, with a price-to-sales of 38.01 and a price-to-book at 4.01. Its estimated growth rate for this year is -218.2%. This is not a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $180.84 million and its total debt is $226.74 million.
The CEO just bought 19,400 shares, or about $171,000 worth of stock, at $8.79 to $8.90 per share. The same CEO also just bought 13,000 shares, or about $117,000 worth of stock, at $8.99 to $9.04 per share.
From a technical perspective, OPK is currently trending above its 200-day moving average and below its 50-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has been downtrending over the last few weeks, with shares falling from its high of $11.64 to its recent low of $8.17 a share. During that downtrend, shares of OPK have been making mostly lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action.
If you're in the bull camp on OPK, then I would look for long-biased trades as long as this stock is trending above its 200-day at $8.31 or above more key support at $8.17, and then once it breaks out above some near-term overhead resistance at $9.20 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above that level with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 5.53 million shares. If that breakout hits soon, then OPK will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at its 50-day of $10.06 a share to $11.64 a share.

Babb Creek PA
Does anyone know about the latest on the restoration of Babb? Even better, has anyone been having a productive day on this stream?
Re: Babb Creek PA
Not at the moment, but I'll be fishing Pine Creek in late May. My guides fish that area pretty extensively so I'm going to drop a lunchtime question about it and see what they tell me. 'Course you should be able to find some pretty good info on it before I get there! So, I'll just watch for the rest of your responses!
Re: Babb Creek PA
Are you talking about the Babb creek in Bucks county???
Re: Babb Creek PA
I was thinking it was Tioga County.
Re: Babb Creek PA
Sorry i worked on the one in Bucks. It was a federal fund site now holds wild brookies..Babb here in tioga is fishing well in season with a lot of wild fish again..
Re: Babb Creek PA
Thx. I was referring to Tioga County. Glad to hear it's fishing well. I also heard of an effort to name a section above Morris as Blue Ribbon water. Don't know if that's purely speculation.
Re: Babb Creek PA
You guys probably know about this site, but there are lots of maps and lists of different types of streams on the PA Fish & game Commission website:

Nate Lichti, the executive director of the nonprofit Hamilton County Area Neighborhood Development, announced he will leave his post to take a position at another nonprofit.
Lichti, who served as director since 2012, will join IFF, which is a "mission-driven lender, real estate consultant, and developer that helps communities thrive by creating opportunities for low-income communities and people with disabilities," according to its Web site.
IFF is a nonprofit organization that started off as the Illinois Facilities Fund before branching out and starting offices in eight other Midwestern states including Indiana. One way IFF strives to make a difference is by helping nonprofit organizations obtain loans.
Lichti said he's pleased with the work he's done over the past four years with HAND and "while not every effort yielded a 'house,'" he said he believes he changed a lot of hearts and minds when it comes to affordable housing.
"This will be a great opportunity for me to work with nonprofits statewide," he said. "I'll still be able to be engaged in affordable housing. It's just a different platform for me. I'll still be engaged in these issues."
Lichti said he looks forward to see who the board of HAND will choose as his successor. He knows they have a big task ahead. For the fifth consecutive year, Hamilton County was shut out of federal tax credits for affordable housing. Lichti said he hopes that trend will change in coming years as more people understand the importance of affordable housing in the area.
