Record ice covers large chunk of Great Lakes
The cold winter and spring have caused a record amount of ice to remain on the Great Lakes, wreaking havoc with shipping and wildlife, according to data from Environment Canada, a government agency.
"It's been a very tough ice season on shipping," especially in the upper Lakes, says George Leshkevich, a scientist with the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
He added that the unusual ice cover "has had societal, economic and ecological impacts."
As of Wednesday, ice covered 33.9% of the Great Lakes, the largest ice cover so late in the season since accurate measurements from satellites began in the late 1970s.
Usually by this time, all but about 2% of the Great Lakes are free of ice.
"Great Lakes ice coverage is shrinking but is still incredibly high for this time of year," says AccuWeather meteorologist Brett Anderson. "Even though the ice cover on the Great Lakes has steadily declined over the past month, the area of ice that remains is the highest in over 30 years."
"This is the worst winter since 1993 or 1994," Glen Nekvasil, vice president of the Lake Carriers' Association in Ohio, told Wawa News in Canada. "The last time ice breakers were out this late in the season convoying vessels was 1996. It's been a very brutal winter."
Lake Superior's ice cover was at 59.9% on Wednesday. This time last year, the total was 2.7%.
The ice has also led to duck die-offs, Leshkevich says, because they can't get to the water for food because of the ice cover. Necropsies confirm that the birds have died of starvation, Wawa News reported.
Fish spawning also will be delayed as it will take longer for water temperatures to rise. However, that could benefit some species of fish such as whitefish, according to Leshkevich, who says the ice cover protected their spawning beds from winter storms.

At UW-Green Bay, students experience hands-on learning from award-winning
faculty on a naturally beautiful campus. Learn more about academics,
campus life, affordability, and how to apply.
Art Majors with an emphasis in Studio Art have a focus at the upper level in at least one studio area selected from: drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, textiles, jewelry/metals, or ceramics. This focus prepares students for jobs as professional artists or to work in related visual communications careers. It also prepares students for entry into graduates art programs.
Before students take upper-level courses in their area of focus, students must complete the design core, courses in art history, and a selection of both 2-D and 3-D introductory courses in other studio areas. For timely completion of the program, declare your major with the art advisor and begin coursework early.
For a focus in Studio Art, students take at least 9 credits in one upper level studio area at the upper level (300 & 400 course numbers). In addition to Intermediate Drawing, which every Art Major is required to take, students also take 6 credits in any other upper level studio area.

Video: Helping Government Agencies Ensure Safer Communities and More Efficient Services for Citizens
Global government agencies are benefiting from video technologies to help ensure safer communities, reduce costs, and deliver more efficient services for citizens.
National security, public safety and emergency response organizations face challenges and increasing demands to help ensure safety and security. In a crisis situation, every second counts. Potentially life-threatening situations change in a heartbeat, and decisions must be made in seconds. Video surveillance technologies enhance situational awareness and act as a force multiplier to scale critical resources.
Video technologies are also helping government organizations scale and increase efficiency and to better serve citizens.
Video can help protect people and communities, it can also help improve the delivery of citizen services and streamline traffic flows on congested highways. Linking the intelligent network of real-time video sensors helps government agencies capture intelligence and deliver services for citizens.
A great example is in Dallas, Texas. See how the Dallas County Tax Office:
- Ensures security for citizens and staff
- Increases tax revenue collection for the county
- Adjusts citizen services and staffing support with real-time adjustments
- Prevents fraud
- Provides for remote viewing from multiple locations to study effectiveness of policies and procedures

Senate Leader Explains Gun Bill Defeat
Cheyenne - A leader in the Wyoming State Senate says he killed a bill that sought to exempt the state from any future federal assault weapons ban because of rude pressure tactics from a pro-gun organization.
Senate Majority Floor Leader Sen. Phil Nicholas, a Laramie Republican, controls which bills get a hearing. He didn't bring up the assault weapons bill or a companion gun control bill by Friday's deadline.
Nicholas says he believes the bills were intentionally poorly drafted. He says lawmakers who opposed them were targeted for personal criticism by the Wyoming Gun Owners Association, which he said tried raise funds from the controversy.
Evansville Republican Rep. Kendell Kroeker sponsored the assault weapons bill. He denies he intended it to raise funds and says he believes Wyoming must support gun rights.

Early Childhood Laboratory School
As a university laboratory school, we aim to lead through excellence and innovation as we train undergraduate and graduate students in child development theory, research and its applications, while implementing national and state standards for quality toddler, preschool and kindergarten programs.
We provide resources to parents and community members in child development and strategies for meeting the needs of special populations, including dual language learners. We welcome all university majors to observe, participate and learn in a nurturing, diverse educational environment.
The Lab School believes in providing each individual child with appropriate tools, equipment and accommodations for enhancing their gross motor control, eye-hand coordination, speech/language development, socialization abilities, emotional development, and cognitive/intellectual skills. We believe in teaching children how to make choices and decisions, find solutions, share, respect, and interact with others harmoniously, and understand who they are as vibrant caring human beings and future contributors to society.
At the Lab School, young children are offered meaningful experiences to help them understand the world around them. Children explore and discover their environment through touch, sight, sound, work, and play. Their learning experiences include classroom centers of interest, outdoor expression, and freedom of creativity while also participating in planned field trips to enhance their ability to process new information.
Classroom Management & Guidance
The Lab School promotes positive behavior management techniques to prevent challenging behaviors. We arrange the classrooms for active exploration and individual decision making opportunities. Clear age appropriate class rules and expectations are posted and reviewed daily. We use redirection, active listening, modeling and positive reinforcement to encourage positive behavior.
The staff is encouraged to give attention to and reward appropriate behavior. Inappropriate behavior is ignored. However, if the behavior cannot be ignored, the child is verbally reminded of the classroom rules and expectations. If the verbal appeals are unsuccessful, the child will be asked to move to a quiet area in the classroom away from the learning centers until he/she can behave appropriately. If the challenging behavior persists, a parent-teacher conference will be scheduled to determine strategies to improve age appropriate behaviors and consequences for inappropriate behaviors.
In an effort to solve problems in a productive manner, children are guided through a series of lessons providing techniques and language specified in the Interpersonal Cognitive Problem-Solving Program by Dr. Myrna B. Shure (ICPS) also known as: "I Can Problem Solve."

When restoring from the system tray Barca has sections missing (transparent). I have turned off all the visual effects but this makes no difference.
Seems to be a programming issue with the compatibility of the new Windows system.

The Marsh 5E3NY Tweed 6L6 Amp Kit!!!This model has recently been redesigned with custom wound Mercury Magnetics Power transformers specially made to our specifications to provide higher voltages for the 6L6GC plates. More headroom, less muddy, louder than any other 5E3 6L6 available anywhere! As a huge Neil Young Fan one of the first amps i started building was the Tweed 5E3 with 6L6's. This makes the great classic Tweed amp a more powerful fatter sounding beast than the already awesome amp it is. Bigger Iron, tighter filtering and more power (approx 30 watts) to drive the speaker!
If you need the more power for extra clean head room than the stock 5E3 provides then here's a great alternative for you. Comes standard with a Jensen C12Q ceramic or yo can upgrade to a Weber 12F150neo or Vintage 30 to make it the loudest 5E3 on the planet!!!
NOTE: There is a manual for this kit, however, it is considered an EXPERT kit. You must be experienced in kit building to purchase this model.
Please Note: If the kit indicates not in stock, it takes 7-10 days to get a kit in stock. Non-stock cabinet production time is 30-45 days from our supplier.

Get out your scorecards. Last time we looked at this tool, SmartSound was still Sonic Desktop, and Sonicfire Pro was a first-generation re-tooling of the SmartSound for Multimedia sound editing program [September 2002 EMedia, pp. 56-57]. Fast-forward to 2004: Sonic Desktop is just a distant memory, SmartSound has made a name for itself as a purveyor of some of the hottest soundtrack-creation tools around, and Sonicfire Pro is now well into its third iteration.
With the new version, SmartSound has kept the best elements of previous incarnations of Sonicfire Pro—most notably the wealth of included and add-on royalty-free clips and the ability to automatically stretch or edit them to fit your video—and made them better. With version 3.1, the company added a Web-enabled "Infinite Search Maestro" to make it easier for editors to find and download soundtrack material (in addition to using the clips from the bundled CDs). Version 3.2 ups the ante, especially for the high-end video editor. In addition to exporting video with soundtrack back to Adobe Premiere, Ulead Video Studio, Sony Pictures Vegas, Roxio VideoWave, and all three Apple NLEs (iMovie and Final Cut Pro and Express), Sonicfire now also exports directly to Flash and integrates well with Avid systems. And would you look at that? I already gave away the best thing about Sonicfire: It's still a PC and Mac tool. In a time when cross-platform digital studio applications are harder and harder to come by, that's no small matter.
Finite Loops, Infinite SearchWe did the lion's share of our testing on the Mac, and liked what we saw. SmartSound's given us plenty new to play with on both platforms, and if you haven't looked at Sonicfire in a while, you'll be mighty impressed. You get SmartSound's Audio Palette discs with the software; more clips available on additional discs or as single-track downloads from the company's Web site.
Unlike Apple's own Soundtrack, the music from SmartSound tends to be complete tunes, rather than loops. You can loop the entire track if you like (or break it down into segments and loop any of those), but the music is mostly full-band stuff. Which means its chief strength might also be its chief drawback: If you're interested in creating your own "original" compositions by layering instrument loop upon instrument loop, you're out of luck with Sonicfire. On the other hand, if you'd prefer to leave the composition to the pros (and you seek music with a little more structure and dynamics), then Sonicfire's definitely the way to go.
Depending on which bundle you buy, Sonicfire Pro comes with two Audio Palette discs ($299) or five ($499). (My reviewer's copy came with 3: "Full Throttle," a collection of energetic tunes perfect for extreme sports; "Uplifting Ideas," a set of upbeat instrumentals well-suited to the corporate training environment; and Volume 6 of "The Edge Series," a dozen ambient electronic tunes as well as self-contained loops). If you're creating a soundtrack and don't find what you want on the discs that came with the Sonicfire software, the Infinite Search Maestro makes it easy to find what you need. When you click on the Maestro button in the toolbar, you can choose to search only files you own, files that you've already noted as favorites, or all available music. If you select a track that you don't own, you can preview it via the Internet, then decide whether or not to purchase it.
The per-track prices are steep—most are around the $19.95 range—so from a cost standpoint, you're better off ordering an entire CD, which runs anywhere from $29.95 to $99.95, depending on the number of songs and whether or not you want the files in 44k, 22k, or both. Then again, if you're in a time crunch, you can download the individual track and start working with it right away. The Infinite Maestro lets you search by instrument, tempo, intensity, and keyword in the file's metadata. If you find a track you like, you can enter your own keywords in the User Info window. You can also search for tracks using the wizard-like SmartSound Assistant, which guides you to your selections via a series of questions.
Block PartyThe basic format for using SmartSound tracks remains the same as in Version 2. You select the song you want, enter the length of the video you're working with, and import it. Sonicfire automatically sizes the song to fit the video, a function that's enabled by the fact that all songs, called Smart Blocks are broken up into File Blocks. The File Blocks flow seamlessly into each other, and Sonicfire adds or deletes segments to make the audio track fit the video.
If you don't like the way Sonicfire edited the track, you can mix-and-match segments yourself. After you've dragged a Smart Block into the timeline, you can can switch from the "soundtrack" to the "blocking" view to look at its component File Blocks. When you highlight a File Block, Sonicfire notes compatible File Blocks—ones that match up well on either side of the one you've selected—and you can drag those new segments into the timeline in the appropriate spot. By adding segments, you can lengthen the time of the entire block, using the Fade/Smooth Options tool to create a crossfade from one segment to another. Likewise, you can delete a File Block, then extend the two File Blocks on either side of it so they meet, and crossfade them for a smooth transition
Sonicfire also will perform its own internal edits of both Smart Blocks and File Blocks at your command, shortening them to fit your video. Those edits aren't exactly seamless (you'll notice the edit), but they do the trick, and never interrupt the tempo of the soundtrack. Likewise, the software will perform a Smart Extend of a music file; if you've got a video file that clocks in at 3:42 but the SmartSound track you've chosen is only 3:30, Sonicfire will stretch it out to fit. Provided the stretching is minimal—under 30 seconds or so—you won't even hear the difference. You can also use markers in the timeline, then drag a Smart Block or File Block to the timeline, and Sonicfire will automatically stretch it to fit between the markers.
Ins and OutsLike any soundtrack creation tool, SmartSound is most limited when working with audio files from outside the Audio Palettes. You can import your own MP3, AIFF, or iTunes AAC audio file (copy protection be damned!), and then drag it into the timeline. Sonicfire automatically shortens it to a 30-second clip, performing an internal edit with a 5-second crossfade. You can move the crossfade point to anywhere in the track, and then change the crossfade length to anywhere between 1 and 10 seconds. Needless to say, these edits can be jarring, but with the right music selection—avoid vocals at all costs!—you can tweak it so it sounds like one loop transitioning into another, even though the source file might not be a loop.
Sonicfire plays back all video in QuickTime, but it is compatible with two dozen video formats, and the user's manual comes with detailed instructions for exporting a reference video from programs like Premiere, Vegas, VideoStudio, MediaStudio, iMovie, and Final Cut. You can set your frame rate—30 (NTSC), 25 (PAL), 24 (film), 20, 15, 12, 10 fps—depending on the format you're working with. When you're done with your project, you can export either the soundtrack as a standalone file or the movie and soundtrack together. You can also export each Smart Block in your completed project as a separate sound file. You can select CD-ROM (22k), Audio CD (44k), or Digital Video (48k) for your sound quality, and then choose your file format. Sound-only formats include AIFF, WAV, and Ogg Vorbis, while movie export formats include QuickTime, AVI, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, DV Stream, and Flash (FLC).
Additionally, you can export finished soundtracks directly to all the above-mentioned NLEs. Going back-and-forth between Sonicfire and Avid Xpress is trickier, but again, the user's manual gives an explicit, step-by-step breakdown of the process. The export window also lets you customize your output for Internet delivery with a variety of connection speed and startup options; for DV export, you can select between NTSC and PAL.
It's hard to beat Sonicfire Pro for all-around soundtrack creation flexibility and functionality. No other tool plays so well with so many other software programs, and the SmartSound music is as good as anything out there (meaning, of course, that some of it's cheesy, but it's all top-notch in terms of production value and musicianship). What's more, the interface is clean and intuitive, and it's flat-out a breeze to learn. If you're only going to buy one soundtrack creation tool, and you're not a composer yourself, Sonicfire Pro's the way to go.

Moving can be a very stressful affair, especially if you try to do everything on your own. By hiring professional removalists Melbourne at Best Move Removals you can take the pressure out of your move and ensure the job gets done right. There are many competent moving companies to help you shoulder the load of a residential or commercial move. Choosing the right removalist is the key to a smooth and successful move without complications or delays.
Why You Need Professional Movers
Whether you are changing cities or states, hiring a professional moving company is the way to go. There's no better way to handle a move than with people who are knowledgeable and experienced in the profession. Best Move Removals are a professional furniture removals company operating in Victoria and we have the manpower and resources to complete your move in a prompt, safe and responsible manner.
Packing, loading and transporting products safely and securely is the main responsibility. This requires that relocation experts have knowledge and experience in each of these areas to ensure your items receive optimum protection and care. You also benefit from quality vehicles for safe transport of your products to their new destination.
Heavy Items
Large, heavy items often present a problem when trying to make a move on your own. Professional moving companies, such as ourselves, have both the manpower and moving equipment to handle large loads. Utilizing two or four wheel dollies with security straps, we can lift and transport heavy items such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, etc. with less risk of damage and harm.
Do you need to pack or unpack? – We can do it for you!!!
Most moving companies offer packing, loading and transporting services from one location to another. For residential moves, this includes such items as furniture, household appliances, lamps, paintings, rugs, office equipment and other personal effects. Upon arrival at your new destination, the team will safely unload your goods and bring them into your new abode.
Customers are also free to pack their own goods, if they so desire. If you do much of your own packing and wrapping, this would cut back on the expense of materials and labor.
Are there any professional certification/qualifications required?
When hiring a moving company, it's best to seek reputable, professional firms with ample experience in their field. The main industry body is the AFRA (Australian Furniture Removers Association). Membership in the AFRA is not a requirement for moving companies in Australia.
Distances between properties
When hiring a mover, make sure the company offers the kind of services you require. A new or small business may offer only limited services such as moving items within the same city or state. We don't charge depot fees, just a one off mileage fee.
For long distance moving, it helps if the company has a branch in the city and state where you are going. This provides you with a local office you can contact upon arrival. Your mover should also have adequate resources for long distance moves to include well maintained vehicles and safe drivers to avoid breakdowns and delays.
Common problems associated with moving
Some common problems associated with moving include breakage of furniture, property, transport delays, lost items and poor customer service. Many of these problems can be avoided by hiring a responsible moving firm. A good company will recognize the value of your property and treat it as if it were their own. We will ensure every aspect of the job is handled in a professional and competent manner so that you benefit from a job well done.
What to do if breakages occur?
Accidental breakage can occur even when movers use utmost care. For this reason, moving businesses encourage their customers to insure their valuables at the onset of the move. In the event of any breakages our staff will let you know as soon as possible and work through solutions. Most offer a variety of insurance packages at reasonable prices to cover repair or replacement costs of items that suffer accidental breakage or are lost during the move. We have 5 million dollars liability insurance, as well as transit insurance to ensure your goods are fully protected while we relocate them, this is included in the price we quote.
What if they don't do the job properly?
If you go with an unqualified or inexperienced moving company, you run the risk of receiving poor or bad service. This may leave you frustrated and angry, but unless they offer some kind of customer satisfaction guarantee, you have little recourse other than never to use their services again. Quality movers strive for customer satisfaction and back their services with written guarantees.
Moving Cost: Is it an hourly rate or for job completion?
Furniture removals companies charge by the hour with flexible options and rates depending on your need. "Man and van hire" is available for smaller moves of limited items within the same city. You pay for the services of a van and one or two helpers on an hourly basis. If you have your own van or truck, you can hire only manual assistance by the hour. Shifting residences or offices may require a moving truck and several helpers which can be contracted by the hour.
What price range should I expect to pay for relocation within the metropolitan area?
Many factors affect the cost of a move to include size of moving vehicle, number of helpers, length of time, date of move and moving distance. Average cost for a truck for a weekday move is about $110/hour for two men.
How many quotes should I get?
It's always good to obtain quotes from at least three companies to get a better idea of prices and services for an upcoming move. By researching your options online, you can easily compare services and costs to get the best deal.
When it comes to moving, quality and trustworthy services should be a priority over cost. It's only natural to want to save money. However, hiring a low quality company could cost you more long term problems than it's worth. Reputable movers understand that your hard earned money and time is important and will provide you with competent and reliable services to ensure your move is a success from start to finish.

A primary focus of the environmental health program is improving the diversity in the environmental health workforce. In April of 2008 the program hosted the Association of Environmental Health Academic Programs workshop at TSU. Environmental health faculty from minority serving universities across the U.S. met for two days to discuss strategies on how to prepare for accreditation and diversify the workforce. Recognizing that inequalities in access to health services and the unequal burden of disease are at the forefront of problems in healthcare, the COPHS has incorporated health disparities courses into the curricula. The COPHS collaborates with MD Anderson's Center for Research on Minority Health, headed by Dr. Lovell Jones, to host the course, "Disparities in Health in America: Working Toward Social Justice." The course rotates annually between TSU, Rice University, or University of Houston. In 2004, TSU served as the first historically black university to host the course. Renowned speakers and experts from across the United States are invited to lecture in the course. The course is offered through the college's health care administration program.
Department of Pharmaceutical & Environmental Health Sciences Open
The Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences chaired by Dr. Dong Liang, is made up of 14 faculty and several research personnel. The department strives to promote faculty and student participation in scholarly activities in the advancement of pharmaceutical education and research. In addition to providing basic pharmaceutical sciences instruction to doctor of pharmacy students, faculty are conducting research in several areas including atherosclerosis, hypertension, cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, infectious diseases and novel drug delivery systems. The faculty is also working to develop special programs to meet growing demands of the pharmaceutical profession or in pharmaceutical sciences. The pharmaceutical sciences department offers a master and doctoral degrees in pharmaceutical sciences with specialization in pharmacology and pharmaceutics. The program was approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board on July 15, 2004 and the first students were accepted into the program in the fall semester 2004. The major focus of the department's graduate program is to provide students with a strong focus and training to prepare them for careers in academia, pharmaceutical industry, or research institutions. These degree offerings are intended to meet the high demand for professionals with broad-based training in pharmaceutical sciences. Furthermore, the need for minorities to be trained in this field is paramount since less than three percent of all minorities in the entire nation are in this field. The need for more minority pharmaceutical scientists is made even more imperative by the fact that certain diseases disproportionately affect minority urban populations. The graduate program in pharmaceutical sciences will increase the University's capacity for graduate education in pharmaceutical sciences as a means of addressing the shortage of minority scientists in the state and nation. The department of pharmaceutical sciences also offers an IV Certification Program for second professional year students. Successful completion of this course currently meets the regulations set forth by the Texas State Board of Pharmacy for compounding sterile preparations (Texas Pharmacy Rules: Title 22 T.A.C., Part 15). Upon successful completion of the program, the students meet a total of 16 contact hours of continuing pharmacy education and receive IV Certification from ACPE.
Department of Pharmacy Practice & Clinical Health Sciences Open
Dr. Inyang Nora Osemene leads the pharmacy practice department, which is comprised of eleven faculty members. Pharmacy practice faculty are engaged in instruction, practice site development and research. Some of the research interests include geriatrics, medication management services for the elderly, diabetes intervention, and pharmacoeconomics. The faculty prepares students to monitor the health and progress of patients in response to drug therapy. The COPHS recently renovated the Prescription Practice Dispensing laboratory, under the guidance of Dr. Flora Estes, assistant professor of pharmacy practice. The laboratory offers students an opportunity to practice their medication dispensing and counseling skills in an environment that resembles a realistic pharmacy in a hospital or retail setting. The dispensing lab contains a medication drop off area, a prescription pharmacy system, and a counseling section. The laboratory is equipped with computer-aided workstations and a sterile products preparation area. The pharmacy practice faculty finds innovative means of exposing students to special populations and issues surrounding health disparities. Since 2004, the College has received funding from the Houston Area Agency on Aging to conduct medication management services for the elderly in the greater Houston area. Dr. Ivy Chui-Poon, associate professor of pharmacy practice, and Dr. Aisha Morris-Moultry, assistant professor of pharmacy practice, along with their students and other pharmacy practitioners, deliver pharmaceutical care to the elderly in their homes. The faculty members and their students develop materials and interventions to support their patients' compliance with medication management therapy and prevention of illness. They develop newsletters on diabetes management and hypertension control and calendars to remind patients to comply with their medication regime. Other services provided through the program include medication reviews, consultations about the proper storage and handling of medicines, and distribution of medication dispensers to clients who take four or more medications and have a diagnosis of hypertension, diabetes or high cholesterol.

DeMint to Cruz critics: Cork it
Imagine a new senator who ran a campaign of "no more business as usual." No more special interest politics, no more backroom deals — and he won. He came to Washington, and he delivered. He didn't stay quiet, he spoke passionately for what he believed in, and he made it clear he planned to shake up the status quo.
How would the media react to a senator like that? Nothing but praise for standing his ground, right? Surely editorials lauding his boldness, his vision, his courage would be his reward. He would be held up as an example for others. Finally, a true leader who keeps his promises!
Story Continued Below
Unless, of course, your name is Ted Cruz, and you have the audacity to defend the Constitution and buck inside the Beltway politics, all while espousing a perfectly reasonable and sane governing philosophy usually absent from partisan political debate. Then it's a different matter entirely. Then your only duty — according to the media and their parrots inside Congress — is to sit down and shut up.
Is such bald-faced hypocrisy possible? It's not only possible, it's happening. Cruz has become a lightning rod, and all because he's daring to do what he promised during his campaign for the Senate. That simple act of integrity has set him apart from the pack. Most politicians know what to say to get elected but then arrive in Washington with no real spine — or in many cases, no intention of ever doing what they promised.
Not Cruz. He's proved himself an effective advocate for the founding principles that made our nation great: personal freedom and responsibility, local control and adherence to the law as it is written, not the way some politicians wish it was written.
The Washington establishment opposed him when he was a candidate because he lacked big money or name recognition. But once groups such as the Senate Conservatives Fund helped to shine a spotlight on him, support poured in from grass-roots activists within Texas and all over the country.
Voters expect more of politicians than simply keeping a seat warm in Congress, so Cruz has been quick out of the blocks. For example, when it was time to question former Sen. Chuck Hagel during his confirmation hearing to be secretary of defense, Cruz didn't shrink from making pointed queries about the nominee's views on Israel and personal income Hagel has refused to disclose since leaving public service in January 2009.

NEWS UPDATE: January 9, 2010
According to The Muppet Newsflash's Twitter feed, the new album, "Muppets: Revisited" has been pushed back to a Fall 2010 release date. Originally planned for a February release, the album has been moved back for an unknown reason. Whatever the reason is, I'm sure it will only lead to a more quality album!
Last week, The Jim Henson Company debuted their new YouTube sketch comedy show, "Alt/Reality." The short-form comedy show on YouTube parodies reality television show as only Henson puppeteers can. Check out their first video "Antique Swap Meet."
Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Sweetums took Main Street in Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom by storm yesterday. It was all part of the brand new "pre-parade" entitled Disney's Honorary VoluntEARS Cavalcade in which the Disney Parks honor volunteers (as if getting into the park free wasn't enough). Disney blog site Laughing Place has a video of the complete parade (it's very short). The parade will run every morning in both Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom.
Finally, don't forget to catch the Muppets as they volunteer on America's Funniest Home Videos tomorrow night on ABC. The show airs at 7/6c and is being billed as "Muppet Palooza." This is sure to be another can't miss appearance. Scheduled to appear are Kermit, Miss Piggy, Pepe, Dr. Honeydew, Beaker, Swedish Chef, and The Electric Mayhem--if there was ever any doubt that the Muppets were making a comeback, it should be completely squashed by now.

Not Quite Laissez Faire: A Review of Titus Andronicus' Local Business
Posted October 22, 2012on:
- In: Band Profiles | Essays | Music | Record Reviews
- 1 Comment
"Okay, I think by now we've established that everything is inherently worthless, and there is nothing in the universe with any kind of objective purpose." Thus opens Local Business, the newest record from New Jersey punk band Titus Andronicus, out today on XL Recordings. The record picks up where The Monitor—their flawless Ken Burns-esque Civil War concept record—left off: a nation/central character ravaged by the polarized nature of the contemporary world finally comes to terms with its elemental duality, only to be faced with the next daunting phase of adulthood. Local Business explores the personal reconstruction after a monumental crisis, and how to define responsibility in a world more interested in gross sales than personal integrity. Oh yeah, and guitar solos.
If The Monitor is the punk rock soundtrack of the Civil War—as it most obviously is—Local Business is the Industrial Revolution. As industry continued to spread from the northeast throughout the country and the world, the Western doctrine of capitalism came into its own, finally giving our nation an identity separate from Great Britain 's little brother. Similarly, after a tumultuous young adulthood, Patrick Stickles and band have found tangible success and buzz, and they now realize they have work to do in order to grow (or just sustain) their presence and reputation. Opting for a more classic pub rock sound and a significantly less overblown recording process, Local Business finds Titus Andronicus establishing their identity within the scene.
The lyric above comes from "Ecce Homo", the five and change minute thesis of Local Business. Never one to pull any punches, Stickles searches for the root of his discomfort while recognizing that life must go on. With more dough in his pocket and validation from the international music community, he's left to face his demons alone, with no one left to blame. Just like the title suggests (translated to "Behold the Man," as said by Pontius Pilate about Jesus Christ), the song is a presentation of his current state, skinny legs and all. "I heard them say the white man created existential angst when he ran out of other problems, because the thing about those problems was, typically, more money would solve them."
The juxtapositions of self, money and duty continue throughout Local Business, whether he's "writing manifestos on the back of B.O.A. receipts" or gorging himself after days of self-imposed starvation. The climax of the first half of the record is certainly "Food Fight" and "My Eating Disorder," which documents Stickles' Selective Eating Disorder—or as he calls it, Patrick Stickles Disease. Certainly related to his Manic Depression, Stickles suffers from having the pickiest palate, and thus is almost always malnourished (you can read about his struggles with Selective Eating Disorder in his February 2012 interview with Paste Magazine). While a condition of this sort isn't exactly relatable for most of the general public, "My Eating Disorder" is a terribly poignant song about the confusion that arises from accepting responsibility for one's actions. And only Titus Andronicus can turn a violent vomiting bout into a killer series of guitar solos. "Nobody answers for me now, nobody else's job to figure out why I'm scared to open up my mouth, why there's so many things I can't allow."
The record's key track and lead single "In a Big City" kicks off the second half, which is filled with fewer questions and more realizations than the beginning. Here, we find Stickles at his most triumphant and accepting, where he's finally comfortable with his place in the "deluge of hipsters," and the overblown marketplace that is New York City. This embrace (if reluctant) of capitalism is further driven home by the song's short, anthemic pop composition. The result is simultaneously the most radio friendly and mature song of their career. "If you're chasing any other kind of currency, son, you're really doing little more than twiddling your thumbs."
From there, the record continues to expand on the idea that adulthood is recognizing one's place in the world, to varying degrees of success. In "In a Small Body" he's ready to take on the reins of his life, cautioning those around him to not "stand in [his] way." "I Am the Electric Man"—written after his electrocution incident earlier this year—finds Stickles proud to be part of a larger system. The closer "Tried to Quit Smoking" is the most reflective track, essentially a nine-minute exploration of past actions made by a younger Stickles. He accepts there is no answer that is a fix to his problems, but he's willing to keep on trying.
Undoubtedly one of the most compelling figures in independent music today, Patrick Stickles has long straddled the line between nihilist and existentialist, often blurring the difference. Pulling philosophical influences from minds as diverse as Albert Camus, William Lloyd Garrison, Norman Mailer, Pieter Brueghel, Billy Bragg and Christopher Nolan (among others), Stickles stiches a pastiche of the human condition in the modern era. Not unlike the films of Woody Allen, Stickles inserts himself into every discourse, simultaneously acting as narrator, protagonist and innocent bystander. Over the course of their three records, Stickles has learned to accept the "benign indifference of the universe" ("No Future, Part I"/"No Future Part Two: The Days After No Future"), realized the role his enemies play in his self-actualization ("To Old Friends and New"/"The Battle of Hampton Roads) and now he's trying "to swallow while [he's] still young that [his] dick is to short to fuck the world" ("In a Small Body"). Don't forget, it's still a punk rock record.
If Local Business is indeed inspired by the Industrial Revolution, then it marks yet another major era in the history of the United States Titus Andronicus has explored. With all its religious undertones, unsteady footing and European references, their fantastic debut record The Airing of Grievances can be read as an examination of post-colonial America. If you place The Monitor and Local Business following in order, you have an extended allegory for the birth and growth of our nation. If you think about their catalogue in these terms, you just may be able to predict what comes next. I, for one, am really pumped for the Titus Andronicus Civil Rights record.
Peter Lillis is Managing Editor of Frontier Psychiatrist. If you hadn't noticed, Titus Andronicus is his favorite band, and he may be a bit biased.

In 1994, then 12-year-old Lorcan Morris was changing a trash can at the Ladies Irish Open in Ireland. As a Boy Scout, he was doing community service there in the evenings.
In 1994, then 12-year-old Lorcan Morris was changing a trash can at the Ladies Irish Open in Ireland. As a Boy Scout, he was doing community service there in the evenings.
Laura Davies, a professional golfer and female golf icon, saw him and asked, �Why are you taking out the trash? You should be carrying my bag.�
Davies asked Morris to caddiefor her for the next eight rounds. That week, he became good friends with Davies, and the following year she got him a job caddying for Sophie Gustafson, a Swedish professional golfer.
�I couldn�t even carry the bag, because the bag was bigger than I was,� Morris said.
For 20 years now, Morris has kept in touch with Davies and Gustafson. He is now a caddie for Katie Futcher on the LPGA Tour. He and his wife, Kimberly, spend a lot of time in Cleveland County, where she is from, and plan to make a permanent home here soon.
In college at Wingate University, Morris played five years of golf. He even tried out professional golf for a while.
But when he finished playing professionally, he called Davies and Gustafson.
�I said I wanted to start caddying, so they got me my first job on the LPGA Tour,� he said.
30-second conversation changed his life
Morris� path to becoming a caddy was not typical.
�It was being in the right place at the right time,� he said. �And it�s unbelievable that, at 12 years old, that 30-second conversation has changed my life forever.�
As the caddie for Futcher, Morris gets to travel all around the world. But the fame and fortune are not what inspire him.
�To be the best in the world at what I do: that�s what motivates me,� he said. �I�ve been very fortunate that the girl I work for is one of the best players in the world.�
Morris said, on the tour, there are only 100 players in the field and two caddies for every player.
�You�re in the top 200 of what you do in the world,� he said.
Morris worked for Futcher in both 2010 and 2011. Then he went on the PGA Tour.
Life�s better on the bag
Altogether, Morris has played professional golf for four years, including a win at the Charlotte City Amateur.
�And I hated every minute of it,� he said. �I had a daughter and I had to practice and be away for 35 weeks a year. She was growing up in front of me and I didn�t have any time with her.�
So Morris decided to give it up. But he loved being around professional golf, so working as a caddie is the best of both worlds.
Now, his 5-year-old daughter, Trinity, loves golf, too.
�So now I�m playing every day with her. She wants to play 90 percent of the time,� he said.
When Morris was a kid, his heroes were Laura Davies and Nick Faldo.
�If you can imagine being a little girl or little boy, and your idols become some of your personal friends, it�s unbelievable,� Morris said. �From the time I�ve been 12 years old, some of the best golfers in the world have been some of my closest friends.�
He has met other famous people outside the golf circle, including Justin Timberlake, George Lopez, Katherine Heigel and Michael Jordan. And he has also toured as a caddie with Jennifer Rosales and Sydnee Michaels, female professional golfers both currently on the LPGA.
�Nothing better than coming home�
Morris recently traveled to Hawaii as part of the tour. He said he likes to go home, ��cause Ireland�s always going to be home,� but he loves Cleveland County.
�I love living here. My wife and I have 7 acres which we�re going to build a house on in the next few years,� he said.
He said he wouldn�t be able to do what he does without the support of his wife and family.
For the foreseeable future, Morris plans to stay with Futcher on tour until she retires.
Morris said of all the places he�s been, he likes Japan, Asia and Australia, but ultimately he loves the United States.
�I think it�s the greatest country in the world,� he said. �For me, there�s nothing better than coming home, and going to Shelby, and spending time with Kimberly and her family.�

This is a question I've been thinking about for some time now.
And when I saw a cartoon pic in one of the discussions here, it reminded me of this question and decided to post this thread. (Sorry if it's repeated, I didn't really check)
If we invented many things that help us live our lives and do our jobs much easier, will that make us evolve backwards to the point where we lose some of our naturally selected organs that give us some abilities?
I know that all of us won't witness it if it happens but I'm just wondering!
Views: 666
Actually, the post you linked to made it clear that the gain in IQ was related to cultural and societal factors--not biological ones. Evolution is a biological process, so I don't think you have addressed Sadly's question.
I think his question is a legitimate one and one I have been worried about for a long time. Now, I know someone will post and say that evolution is not a progression forward, just change. That is true, but I think Sadly is getting at the idea that human intelligence, abstractly defined without reference to IQ tests, is greater than that of most or all other species and that this is our great gift that sets us apart. We have evolved to possess this intelligence and this evolution could be considered a "forward" development--one which may not continue.
Defining the question in that way: Could it be that our level of intelligence is decreasing relative to other species or to our own in the past? Could it be that we will someday be unable to produce any more Einsteins? That we will become nothing but talking monkeys with automatic weapons?
I am sorry to say that I think this is a distinct possibility. There are numerous factors that arguably create an environment where average or below average intelligence actually increases one's chance for successful reproduction.
For instance, there is the herd mentality of the average and below average and their intolerance for intellectuals. There are other social factors, like religion, that ensure or encourage greater rates of reproduction and greater economic means for making one's offspring successful amongst the non-intellectual.
I think that religion is at the heart of this threat. By empowering the herd and the psychopaths who lead it, religion represents a real threat to the biological success of intellectuals.
You are right about my differentiation between forward and backward progression. And all the other questions you asked that I meant by my question.
But I think also that IQ tests are one way to test intelligence, and evolution is a biological change(like you said) to adapt to the surrounding environment, and I personally think that cultural and societal factors are considered parts of our environment as an intelligent organism.
"Just because someone is religious does not mean they have a low IQ or that there children will not have a high IQ. Here are other reasons
why we do not need to worry about 7 billion people running out of many
geniuses or near geniuses"
High intelligence and religious belief are all but incompatible. If conditions are created in which high intelligence is a cause for ostracism, physical violence, or economic persecution, then that trait will eventually become even more rare if not non-existent.
Since reasoning is one factor of intelligence, does witnessing the lack of reasoning --even here in this site-- by religious people mean that religion has in fact a big affect on intelligence?
Yes they can solve problems and memorize well, but they can't reason because of their religious beliefs.
Yes you are right, I was wrong! My claim that they can't reason is not valid, because they may not reason when they argue about religion, but they may do in other subjects.
But also in religion-based countries like here in the arab world, religion takes a large percentage of the cultural and social environment, hence the environment's 50% of intelligence. Don't you think?
As you said, times change, people change.. And I hope the change will happen soon here!
Religion and the reasoning that is used to support it are so patently ridiculous that true religious belief in adults is a sign that the person either can't reason or won't. When they won't, then I have to suspect some form of mental or emotional illness is preventing them from doing so.
The question isn't whether the relatively unintelligent can be useful members of society. The question is what kind of society will we have if they are the only ones who successfully reproduce for a significant period of time.

Left rattled by the events of DARK NIGHTS: METAL, Bruce Wayne must come face to face with the nightmares spawned from the Dark Multiverse. But even though evil devoured evil in the collapse of Challengers Mountain, the Dark Knight still has his doubts. He discovers that the Batman Who Laughs not only survived the fight with The Joker at the end of METAL, but now he is enacting a sinister plan across the Multiverse-something both terrifying and oddly familiar. But when Bruce Wayne realizes the only way to stop this madman is to kill him, he must consider violating the very rule Batman won't break...the same rule that created this insatiable villain-the Batman Who Laughs!

During a Time Machine backup, is the backed up data at any time unencrypted?

Ansell Extends VersaTouch™ High Performance Glove Range for the Food Industry
04 Dec, 2012, 16:45 GMT
PARIS, December 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Ansell, a global leader in protection solutions, today announces that it has launched two new additions to its VersaTouch family of products; VersaTouch 37-200 and VersaTouch 37-210, thin, re-usable, nitrile gloves that offer excellent grip in wet or greasy conditions. With VersaTouch, Ansell brings best-in-class solutions for workers across a wide range of food related applications including agriculture, food processing and food services.
Europe's food industry, which is comprised of approximately 310,000 companies and 4.8 million employees,* is regulated by stringent and complex legislation which demands that workers, their work environment and the food that they process is protected to an extremely high level. Ansell, through its VersaTouch range of gloves, provides employers with peace of mind that they are fully complying with all of these regulatory requirements, while protecting themselves and the food they process from contamination.
VersaTouch replaces the existing proFood® products dedicated to the food industry and builds on more than 30 years of experience in this industry segment. When launched, the VersaTouch (92-200 **) was introduced as a glove range with thin, single-use, nitrile gloves that are highly tear resistant and can be donned easily thanks to the ultra-thin inner coating; These gloves are not chlorinated enabling enhanced grip in dry, wet and fatty conditions while being more environment friendly (*) The two products launched today, VersaTouch 37-200 and VersaTouch 37-210, are thin re-usable gloves that offer excellent grip in wet or greasy conditions, thanks to the Ansell UltraGrip Technology™ are made out of nitrile they pose no risk of Type I allergies, offer superb flexibility even in cold environments and can be used on their own or in combination with cut resistant or thermal gloves.
"As with all Ansell products, VersaTouch gloves have been designed, first and foremost, to enable those who will use and wear them to perform their jobs efficiently, effectively and comfortably," said Céline Défourneaux, VersaTouch category manager at Ansell. "In addition, they offer unrivalled protection for food processing workers, shielding their hands and the food products being handled, while ultimately safeguarding public health."
According to the European Commission, in order to maximise workers' safety and the protection of food stuffs being produced, the correct glove needs to be used depending on the food processing tasks being performed***. Using the correct glove can help to prevent cuts, repetitive strain injuries and exposure to temperature extremes. The Commission also advises that PVC or vinyl gloves be avoided when handling fatty foodstuffs, due to the risk of leaching by potentially dangerous by products such as "phthalate plasticisers"; premium quality nitrile is the most appropriate material for gloves in contact with foods containing fats or oils, even in low concentrations.
The introduction of the VersaTouch range demonstrates the Ansell culture of innovation and technological advancement, delivering solutions specifically tailored for end-user needs. Through leading research facilities, Ansell is continuously working to develop the next generation of protective solutions and to deliver the utmost in performance, support and safety.

(Editor's note: The original version of this column included incorrect pricing for Zynga. The prices have since been corrected.)
Caesars Entertainment Corporation CZR, +0.09% had an explosive move the first two weeks of February, from the 8 1/2 level to near 14. It pulled back, but of late has been pressing back up, and for three days now has been holding around 12. Watch for a move to the 12.75-.80 range. If it does get through there, the next target is 14.90-15.00.
Sarepta Therapeutics Inc. SRPT, -15.16% had a nice day on Wednesday, particularly late in the session, closing up 2.48 to 31.51, or 8.5%. For the last two weeks, this stock has moved from around 25.90 up to 32.40, a nice 30-35% run-up.
The stock is in a four-month coil since the big run-up during the July-October period, when it literally went from 3 to 44. Wednesday's move on 3.8 million shares, the biggest volume on an up-day since November, could be positioning the stock for a breakout of this coil.
Uni-Pixel Inc. US:UNXL finally got the pop that we were looking for on Wednesday, up 4 to 22.80, or 21%, and on strong volume of 2.7 million shares. This came after a recent pullback rested the stock on trendline and lateral price support. Look for more upside, possibly to 25 on Thursday, and then up toward 29, which is the intermediate target.
Zynga ZNGA, +1.95% broke out above a key 3.30 level in early February, pulled back, and has broken through that again. Now it needs to move through 3.60-.70 for a next target of 4.40-.44 and then beyond that 6-6.25.

Gift Guide: The Ten Best Cookbooks of 2010
When I sat down and looked back at this year's Cook the Book series, it occurred to me that we've covered a pretty wild selection of topics. We've had vegetable and fruit-centric weeks devoted to tomatoes and sweet potatoes; ones that involve the use of single appliances—rice cookers, pressure cookers, and ice cream makers; plenty of big-name food celebs—Alton, Bobby, Ina, and Mario, just to name a few.
We've even featured cookbooks inspired by heavy metal and hip-hop.
Needless to say, whittling down to a top-ten list was not an easy task—there really were too many good ones this year. Staring at my towering stacks of cookbooks, I realized that unlike compilers of other top-ten lists, I had the distinct advantage of testing multiple recipes from each and every book we've featured. And for me, when it comes down to judging a cookbook, it's the success (or failure) of the recipes that counts for the most points.
I decided that my selections of The Ten Best Cookbooks of 2010 would based upon how many truly delicious and statisfying meals each book had produced, the books that I found myself referencing again and again even after its week on Cook the Book had come and gone.
While most of the cookbooks that found their way into the top ten are full of gorgeous photos and exemplary food writing, at their heart they are really all about the recipes and books that any home cook would be happy to receive this holiday season.
