Jobs With Maryland PIRG
If you are ready to dig in and start solving the problems that confront our country, consider a job with Maryland PIRG and the state PIRGs.
We stand up for the public against powerful interests when they push the other way, winning concrete results on real problems that affect millions of lives.
Whether it's stopping the overuse of antibiotics on factory farms, overturning Citizens United to get big money out of our democracy, protecting consumers from unsafe or unscrupulous practices, or other problems, the conventional wisdom says that issues are either 'liberal' or 'conservative.' But these problems affect people all across the political spectrum. And our solutions aren't 'Republican' or 'Democratic' — they're just common sense. The challenge is that powerful special interests have used their enormous resources to gain influence within our political system, while casting doubt on our solutions.
So how do we overcome this challenge? We start by doing our homework. We break the problem down and make sure we can win the argument on the merits — that's a given.
But we also need to inform the public, get attention for the problem, and show that people are with us — because we know that even government officials and business leaders with the best of intentions act differently when they know the public is paying attention and asking them to do the right thing.
Visibility alone isn't enough. In every campaign with PIRG, we need people to mobilize political and public support. We build broad coalitions with other groups and communities who care about solving the problem — regardless of whether they're on the left or right side of the aisle. We take our message to the media, making sure the public and decision makers know this is an issue they should be paying attention to. We build an online following, mobilizing them to make sure we're putting political pressure on the right people at the right time in the right way. And we go out and raise the financial support it takes to achieve our goals, and build for the future.
We take this non-partisan, fact-driven, result-oriented approach to all of the campaigns we work on. And these strategies have been effective for more than 40 years. We're hiring people to join our team, and help us win concrete results on these real problems.
As part of U.S. PIRG, the national federation of state PIRGs, applicants for a position with Maryland PIRG are also eligible for positions with other state PIRGs in our network. At our online jobs center you can find out more about all our positions including:

HP Notebook PCs - Setting Up a New Connection to a Wireless Local Area Network (Windows 7)
A wireless or WiFi network provides all the functions of a wired network, while also giving you the flexibility to be in different locations within the radio-signal network. You can remain connected to the Internet, a printer, and share the network with more than one computer while enjoying the mobility of your notebook computer.
This document assumes that you have created a wireless home network as discussed in Creating a Wireless Home Network (Windows Vista), or you are trying to connect to a known working wireless network in a location that offers WIFI access for its customers.
Before you begin
Before you connect to a wireless network for the first time, you must have the following:
A Wireless adapter for the computer. This allows the computer to send and receive signals from the wireless router on the network. A wireless adapter is built into to most notebook computers and is identified by a wireless icon located on the front or side of the case, above the keyboard, or on one of the function keys. External wireless adapters that plug into the USB connection, or other device ports, are available for notebook and desktop computers not already equipped with an internal wireless adapter.
Network name and security information. You need the name of the network (Service Set Identifier SSID), security type (WEP or WPA), and the security Key (passphrase). If you set up your home network, you have this information. On a public WIFI network, ask the provider for this information.
Setting up WiFi network for the first time
The first time you connect to a specific WiFi network, you must enter all the configuration information to establish the connection. You can configure the computer to automatically connect when the computer is within range of the network. Follow the steps below to set up your WiFi connection.
note:The original factory image of the HP computer has the required drivers for the built-in wireless network device and the HP Wireless Assistant. If you have changed the operating system (OS), download and install the latest version of the wireless network device driver and the HP Wireless Assistant for your model and OS. Not all computers have a built-in wireless device.If the computer does not have an HP factory image, you may want to search www.google.com or www.youtube.com for information on setting up a wireless network.
Start the computer, and turn on the wireless device.To turn on the wireless device, simply move the switch to the On position. The power switch for the wireless LAN device, and the Bluetooth device (if equipped), is located on the side of the case or above the keyboard depending on the model. On some computers, the switch is actually a touch point on the panel above the keyboard or on one of the function keys.For most computers, there is an LED light that glows blue when the wireless device is turned on and enabled, and glows orange when off or disabled. Some newer models use a different color scheme and have an LED built into the corresponding function key.
In the toolbar notification area, locate the HP Wireless Assistant icon.
If it is On , continue to the next step.
If it is Off , right-click the icon and select Open Wireless Assistant. Click Turn On to enable the device.
If there is no icon, click Start, type hp wireless assistant into the Search field, and then click HP Wireless Assistant in the search results. Turn On (enable) the wireless device.If the HP Wireless Assistant is not listed in the search results, use another computer to download it from the Drivers and Download page for your HP product.
Now that the wireless device is turned On and Enabled, locate the available wireless networks icon in the toolbar notification area. If there is no wireless icon, but the network cable is connected, unplug the network cable. The wireless network icon will display.
Right-click the wireless network icon, click Open Network and Sharing Center, click Set up a new connection or network, and then select Manually connect to a wireless network.Figure : Set up a connection or network
Click Next to continue.
Enter the required network security information. This is the information you used when you set up your home network.Figure : Manually connect to a wireless network
Network Name (SSID)
Security type (WEP and WPA are common types)
Encryption type (Additional feature of some types of security)
Security key or passphrase
Start this connection automatically Select this option if you want the computer to automatically log on when it is in range of the wireless network.
To verify the wireless connection is complete, click the available network icon to display a list of available wireless networks.Figure : Available wireless networks
Reconnecting to an existing network
After you have set up a connection to your home network, or a public WIFI network, you can reconnect to that network at a later time.
If, during the original setup, you selected the Start this connection automatically option, the network connection will be made, using the values entered during the setup, when you bring your computer into the range of existing wireless network.
note:If some security condition, such as the password has changed, you will be prompted to enter the new password. See Managing your wireless network connection.
If you did not select the automatic connection option, do the following when the computer is within the range of the wireless network.
Turn the wireless device power on , and then click the network icon in the toolbar to display a list of available wireless networks.
Select the desired network, and click Connect.Figure : Available wireless networks
When prompted, enter the Security key or passphrase.
Managing your wireless network connection
If you have problems re-connecting to a network, or if you need to change some of the settings, such as the password, follow these steps to open the Network and Sharing Center.
Click the network icon in the task bar and click Open Network and Sharing Center.
Click Manage Wireless Networks in the left pane of the Network and Sharing Center window.
Select the network you want to manage, right-click, and then select Properties.Figure : Manage wireless networks
You can change values such as protection type and passphrase on the Security tab. When you have finished managing your settings, click OKFigure : Wireless network properties security tab

Hey Cathy, nice to see you. Always love a good picture :)
The Kangaroo?
I really admire Noah the way he was so thoughtful to go all the way to Australia to drop off the Kangaroos after the flood. Where did he find the time to collect them in the first place? They can't be easy to round up. I can just hear him say "Hop aboard there Joey".

Is there any way that, by looking at a bit stream, for me to know if I'm using the right bitrate?
or whether the bits are inverted,
Is this RS232 or 5v logic signal?Measure the voltage during the 32sec idle period to determine the polarity. That will remove one variable.
This unit sends a short data burst about every 32 seconds.
So the question is, who or what sends it?
The module has a signal strength indicator, so you can use it to detect the sender? (neighbour, TV, elektricity meter, washing machine ...?)
The 9600baud looks most promissing, but still makes little sense - is 19200 and 38k4 log also possible?
No pattern, looks mess before and after - bit-rate is wrong.

I set this fun little activity out for the kids the other day and not only was it fun, it was tasty! My kids never pass up a yummy marshmallow, so this was definitely a hit to them!
Basically I just cut up a few straws and put some marshmallows into a bowl.
And they got right to work!
Anna want to make some letters so we tried out a couple!
It's a fun (and tasty) way to play and learn!

SamplePlayer, SampleLoader, Sequencer and Keyboard (With Audio Data API) from almeros on Vimeo.
It runs in the browser, it doesn't use Flash and it makes a whole lot of bleepy noises.
SamplePlayer, created by electronic musician and web programmer Almer Thie, is a musical keyboard, sequencer and signal processor embedded in an web app. To power SamplePlayer, Thie utilizes the experimental Audio API in Firefox — he's running a special build of Firefox with support for the Audio API rolled into it, so most of us will have to settle for the video above.
All the sliders are jQuery creations. Plus — those duck noises? Awesome.
If you'd like to experiment with Firefox and audio, have a look at the Mozilla developer documents using audio and video in Firefox.

We have always cared more about property rights than human rights in this country. You should know that.John Kilian Houston Brunner
You are a human being. You have rights inherent in that reality. You have dignity and worth that exists prior to law.Lyn Beth Neylon
Whenever there is a conflict between human rights and property rights, human rights must prevail.Abraham Lincoln
"Freedom from fear" could be said to sum up the whole philosophy of human rights.Dag Hammarskjld
We have already found a high degree of personal liberty, and we are now struggling to enhance equality of opportunity. Our commitment to human rights must be absolute, our laws fair, our natural beauty preserved; the powerful must not persecute the weak, and human dignity must be enhanced.James Earl Carter, Jr.
Human rights is the soul of our foreign policy, because human rights is the very soul of our sense of nationhood.James Earl Carter, Jr.
Whenever there is a conflict between human rights and property rights, human rights must prevail.Abraham Lincoln
Within a system which denies the existence of basic human rights, fear tends to be the order of the day. Fear of imprisonment, fear of torture, fear of death, fear of losing friends, family, property or means of livelihood, fear of poverty, fear of isolation, fear of failure. A most insidious form of fear is that which masquerades as common sense or even wisdom, condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant or futile the small, daily acts of courage which help to preserve man's self-respect and inherent human dignity. It is not easy for a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle that might is right to free themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural state of civilized man.Aung San Suu Kyi
It is not only the political unacceptability of Israel's Occupation which makes the call for sanction urgent and obligatory, it is the massive violations of Palestinian human rights, of international law and of numerous UN resolutions that the Occupation entails. If Israel as the Occupying Power is not held accountable for the intolerable situation within its ability, indeed, within its responsibility to end, the entire international system of justice is rendered meaningless and empty. And that is what makes the Occupation an international issue. If Israel succeeds in defying the Fourth Geneva Convention and making its Occupation permanent, if an entire population is literally locked behind walls and its right of self-determination trampled, then the ability of human rights to win out over an international order founded on power politics and militarism is jeopardized. We all have a stake in ending the Occupation.Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions
I have tried to impress on the PLO leadership, and every Palestinian or Arab I have met, that the quest for a protector in the White House is a complete chimera, since all recent presidents have been devoted to Zionist aims, and that the only way to change US policy is through a mass campaign on behalf of Palestinian human rights, out-flanking the Zionist establishment and going straight to the American people. Uninformed and yet open to appeals for justice as they are, Americans are capable of reacting as they did to the ANC campaign against apartheid, which finally changed the balance of forces inside South Africa.Edward Said
I heard an Israeli speaking on Palestinian human rights issues, an interesting guy, and he said "There's no military solution to terrorism. If there were, Israel would be the safest place in the world. But there's no military solution."Bradley Whitford
Republican patience with how unionism deals with the political institutions, and with key issues like equality and human rights, will be tested because, obviously, there will be a battle a day on these matters. So lets face up to all of this with our eyes wide open.Gerry Adams
Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free.Dalai Lama
The evolution of the human rights movement clearly illustrates humanity's ongoing struggle toward creating a better world.Robert Alan
A century that began with children having virtually no rights is ending with children having the most powerful legal instrument that not only recognizes but protects their human rights.Carol Bellamy
It has long been recognized that an essential element in protecting human rights was a widespread knowledge among the population of what their rights are and how they can be defended.Boutros Boutros-Ghali
We have a human rights interest. Then there is the immigration problem. The human-rights violations have caused people to take to boats and flood not only the United States, but other countries in the region, creating great instability.Warren Christopher
A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignities. That we humans can help each other is one of our unique human capacities.Tenzin Gyatso
What it will mean is that companies will have to take account of human-rights implications of any investment they make.Tristen Taylor
Human Rights for everyone is the necessary foundation upon which all of us may build a world where everybody may live in peace and serenity and plenty.Michael Douglas
I tell you, freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. government will lead the American people in and the West in general into an unbearable hell and a choking life.Osama bin Laden

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said Friday that South Florida politicians are leading the United States into an extremist foreign policy against his country and his foreign minister called U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry a murderer.
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen are leading a "Miami lobby" trying to influence President Barack Obama, Maduro said in a televised news conference Friday. Rubio and Ros-Lehtinen are co-sponsoring efforts in their respective chambers to impose sanctions on members of the Venezuelan government tied to human rights abuses.
"Obama can't let himself be taken by the Miami lobby," Maduro said. "I call on the United States to take it easy. They're taking President Obama to an abyss and he's going to end up crashing."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Anti-government street protests by Venezuelans fed up with violent crime, shortages of basic items such as flour and cooking oil and annual inflation that rose above 57 for the 12 months ending in February, have roiled Venezuela for more than a month. The Venezuelan government says at least 25 people have died in the turmoil since Feb. 12.
Daily street protests have rocked parts of the capital and other cities. After three people died in the central city of Valencia Wednesday, Maduro said he was stepping up security operations and called on the National Guard to begin searching buildings in areas where violence erupts.
Since the start of the protests, the government has accused the U.S. of trying to overthrow his government. Last month, Venezuela expelled three U.S. diplomats, accusing them of organizing students to participate in anti-government protests.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Elias Jaua echoed that theme Friday, singling out Kerry as a "murderer of the Venezuelan people."
"Each time we're about to isolate and reduce the violence, out comes Mr. Kerry to speak," and up go the barricades and the violence, Jaua said.
On Thursday, Kerry told a congressional committee that the U.S. was looking for a way to get Maduro to engage in dialogue with his own people and respect human rights.
Destabilizing the Venezuelan government would have "unbearable consequences" for the United States, Maduro said. And if Venezuela were destabilized, it would bring "the worst period of political and economic instability in Latin America."
The Venezuelan Central Bank and National Institute of Statistics announced Friday that the inflation rate for February was 2.4 percent, making the cumulative rate for the past 12 months 57.3 percent. February's rate was down from 3.3 percent in January.
The country's economic challenges continue mounting.
Maduro said Friday that any foreign airlines that reduced or suspended flights in and out of Venezuela would face severe measures.
"There's no excuse for airlines to reduce flights to Venezuela," he said. Airlines have struggled under a $3.3 billion debt owed by the government. He said any airline that left would not be allowed back as long as he's in power.
And U.S. automaker Chrysler told The Associated Press Friday that it had cut its vehicle production in Venezuela by 45 percent, because it was unable to get the parts for assembly.
Milka Torres, Chrysler's spokesman in Venezuela, said the plant in Valencia is producing 30 to 35 vehicles per day, down from 55 per day.

Just about every other week I get asked about QR codes, you probably do too… Most people will ummm and arrr about their uptake and effectiveness, but it's only because they don't think about the post-scan experience properly, and typically fail to get creative enough to get results.
Well, not Scandinavian Airlines, who recently launched the "Couple Up to Buckle Up" 2 for 1 campaign that used two unique QR codes across every touch point (emails, facebook app, banners, print ads .etc), leveraging an insight into how couples most commonly book trips.
Couples would each scan the QR code assigned to them, which would sync their half of a video based offer (if they user is smart enough to scan/play at the same time) and reveal the discount code split across both screens . Now that's cool. Created by CP+B.

Well, as I see this site will be closed anytime soon, I wanted to say goodbye too , because I'm Spanish and we love drama.
I never was a forum type of person, I never thought I would stay here , I just registered to ask something. But I killed a lot of time here, there was laughs, and I even got to know some people, so at the end are 4 years of some memories. And this kinda make me sad.
I don't want to make a shout out list here, because I would forget people, but all the people I had more interactions with, you know who you are, you know that I appreciate you, and to all the family of the last one to post wins (hey, we'll have a winner guys).
See you on the flipside (or on The Shelter I guess). I'll just end with a Gif I used a lot in my first times here. The spam days. Bye bye from the member who added nothing to the site.

Protesters in North Dakota just got a superhero's endorsement.
Clad in his Thor costume, actor Chris Hemsworth posted a message of support on Instagram to members of the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, who have faced violent retaliations from law enforcement while protesting a controversial oil pipeline that would pass a half-mile from their territory. Joined by environmental activists, the indigenous population claims that the 1,172-mile pipeline presents a threat to their potable water resources and would disturb sacrosanct burial grounds.
"Standing with those who are fighting to protect their sacred land and water," Hemsworth wrote in his post.
He also took the opportunity to address a scandal that broke late last year, when at a "Lone Ranger"-themed New Year's Eve party, Hemsworth wore a costume mimicking the dress of the First Nations people. His perceived insensitivity to the plight of America's indigenous community caused offense on social media after his wife, model/actress Elsa Pataky, posted a photo from the party on Instagram. The image has since been removed from her profile.
"I sincerely and unreservedly apologize to all First Nations people for this thoughtless action," Hemsworth wrote on Instagram Thursday. "I now appreciate that there is a great need for a deeper understanding of the complex and extensive issues facing indigenous communities. I hope that in highlighting my own ignorance I can help in some small way."
Hemsworth isn't the first Avenger to show sympathy toward the Standing Rock cause. This week, Mark Ruffalo, who plays Bruce Banner/the Hulk in the Marvel Universe, delivered solar panels to the Sioux camp set up to physically impede the construction of the pipeline so that, as winter approaches, activists could continue their protest thanks to electricity generated from solar power.
"Around the world, more than 80 percent of the forests and lands with protected waterways and rich biodiversity are held by indigenous tribes. This is no coincidence," Ruffalo said. "As so many of us suffer from polluted water, air and land in our rural and urban communities, the water defenders at Standing Rock are showing us another way."

A 32-year-old man who was gravely wounded when he was shot last week during a reported robbery attempt at his Vista apartment complex has died, authorities said Monday.
Allen Jean Francois, who had served in the Marines, was taken off of life support Saturday at Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, friends said. They said his organs were donated.
Francois' girlfriend said Monday that he died while trying to help an upstairs neighbor at the Pepperwood Apartments.
The incident apparently began inside a unit in the University Avenue complex, and continued outside, where the shooting occurred around 12:30 a.m. Thursday.
Two suspects were seen fleeing east on University, but no suspects have been identified, said sheriff's homicide Lt. Glenn Giannantonio.
Deputies who responded to the shooting found Francois on the ground suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
His girlfriend, Leann Robbins, said she had been on the phone with Francois for about half an hour when he heard a commotion from the unit above his. His neighbor was a woman who lived alone. He hung up with the intention of helping the woman, Robbins said.
Within moments, Robbins heard helicopters hovering over Francois' apartment, which was not far from her Vista home.
"I knew in my heart something bad happened," she said. Her calls and texts went unanswered. She drove to his apartment and "found his best friend hysterical."
Last week, the couple professed their love for each other, said Robbins, 40. It was the first time they had done so in about eight months of dating.
Before he had gone to help his neighbor, the couple had been "laughing and having the most wonderful conversation," Robbins said.
"He wanted to come over, and I said no because he had to work (in the morning)," she said.
Francois was a computer help desk technician at Sequenom Inc. in San Diego. A native of Miami and the son of a Haitian immigrant mother, Francois spoke Creole and French.
"I miss him so badly. I am so at a loss," Robbins said. "He is what a man is supposed to be."
Kaelyn Parkhurst said she had been friends with Francois for a decade, after he got out of the Marines and settled in Vista.
"He walked into a room and it lit up. There was like rays of sunlight coming off of his smile," said Parkhurst, 30, of Escondido.
She is organizing an informal memorial for Francois at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Oceanside Harbor.
Meanwhile, authorities continue to work the case. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Homicide Detail at (858) 974-2321 or after hours at (858) 565-5200. Anonymous tips can be left with Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

The game of basketball can be summed up in two names: Michael. And Jordan. To his name: 6 NBA Championships, an immaculate career, The title of Charlotte Bobcats franchise owner… but it wasn't complete until MJ landed his name on the cover of a video game…Again.
Multiple sources, including ESPN , report that NBA legend Michael Jordan will be on the cover of NBA2K11.
The NBA 2K brand has produced the highest selling NBA video game for the past two years, and it shows, as the brand has a tremendous following. But the game's following is nothing compared to Jordan's. The name "Jordan" has sold everything from hot dogs to shoes, and from underwear to movies about cartoon characters from outer-space. The combination of the two will sell like hot cakes!
I've never actually had the urge to buy a hot cake before. I think that saying is a little outdated. And speaking of outdated: isn't it a little late for Jordan to land on the cover of a video game?
Well removed from his playing days, and now serving as the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, Michael Jordan is reported to not only be on the cover of NBA2K11, he is also supposed to assist in the making of the game, and be an optional player to compete as!
Jordan has rarely appeared in video games, instead games would put a nameless characters as shooting guard for the Chicago Bulls. A short list of some of the video games Jordan has appeared in: Jordan vs. Bird: One on One, Michael Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City, and the video game Live 2001 was the first game I ever played with MJ available as an active character. That game was made by EA Sports.
Electronic Arts Sports, the longtime reigning top NBA video game designer, has been upended in recent years by the 2K line. The EA Sports company has decided to go with a name change this upcoming video game season, changing its "NBA Live" series to the title of "NBA Elite 11".
Even with the competition upping the ante, 2K 's VP of marketing Jason Argent maintains confidence about the upcoming 2K/ MJ collaboration. Argent was quoted in an article in USA Today, "We're very confident that this year … will not only be the best basketball game we've ever put out, but the best basketball game that's ever been put out." Argent continued, "When you start thinking about people that can accurately represent that in the game of basketball, the list is short. And, frankly, the greatest basketball player of all time seemed to be the greatest fit."
Argent's marketing philosophy sounds like the opening line to this piece… the game of basketball in two names: Michael. And Jordan.
Game designers are set to debut the cover at the E3 video game convention June 15-17, 2010 in Los Angeles California, and the game is set to hit stores October 5, 2010. I just want to see if 2K11 sells like hot cakes…or better yet, see if sells like Jordan's line of shoes.

The Iron Rod
31243, Hymns, The Iron Rod, no. 274
1. To Nephi, seer of olden time,
A vision came from God,
Wherein the holy word sublime
Was shown an iron rod.
Hold to the rod, the iron rod;
'Tis strong, and bright, and true.
The iron rod is the word of God;
'Twill safely guide us through.
2. While on our journey here below,
Beneath temptation's pow'r,
Through mists of darkness we must go,
In peril ev'ry hour.
3. And when temptation's pow'r is nigh,
Our pathway clouded o'er,
Upon the rod we can rely,
And heaven's aid implore.
4. And, hand o'er hand, the rod along,
Through each succeeding day,
With earnest prayer and hopeful song,
We'll still pursue our way.
5. Afar we see the golden rest
To which the rod will guide,
Where, with the angels bright and blest,
Forever we'll abide.

Both sides of the argument authoritatively cite a scant and inconclusive body of knowledge. Developing a more comprehensive scientific baseline on which to gauge risks is hurt by a lack of reporting requirements by the industry, which is exempt from many rules fundamental to gauge environmental impacts and protect public health.
|Josh Fox
A main theme of Gasland, and of Fox's follow-up short film, The Sky is Pink, is built around the risks of methane migration, a phenomenon when explosive gases move through the ground into enclosed spaces, sometimes with disastrous results. The gas industry typically blames methane migration on naturally occurring circumstances, without acknowledging that holes drilled into pressurized gas-baring zones thousands of feet deep can open pathways to aquifers and homes at the surface, despite efforts to seal them off. Fox produced the Sky is Pink partly to rebut industry criticism that the footage depicting methane migration in Gasland – notably tap water that erupts into a ffireball in Mike Markham's sink -- was due to naturally occurring methane. In the film, Fox supports the flaming-faucet footage with documents and a lecture by Cornell Engineering professor (and industry scholar) Tony Ingraffia. Fox also compares the drilling industry's denial of problems with the tobacco industry's assertion, for decades, that smoking does not cause cancer. (Fox notes that Big Energy has hired the tobacco industry's PR firm, Hill and Knowlton.) Had Fox left it at that, The Sky is Pink would have been an effective and persuasive spotlight on the industry's attempt to cloud the facts. But he doesn't. After making analogies between the tobacco and drilling industries, Fox states this:
In Texas, as throughout the United States, cancer rates fell. Except in one place: in the Barnett Shale. The five counties where there was the most drilling saw a rise in breast cancer throughout the counties.
Without further exploration or analysis, Fox ridicules a pink drilling rig. Presented in the context of the film, it's emblematic of the disingenuousness of the industry's attempts to solve everything with public relations, (which is indeed is an easy target for lampoon).
The approach is cinematically effective; the pink rig juxtaposed with the reference to the cancer registry data is sure to elicit a gasp from industry cynics. It also plays off the title of the film – The Sky is Pink – suggesting the preposterousness of the industry's capacity to give a damn about the facts. These are deft executions by Fox as a filmmaker. But Fox also presents himself as a journalist; and the breast cancer reference has opened his entire work to a critical offensive not only from the industry scholars and discerning students of public and environmental health, but from the mainstream media.
Fox's primary source of information, as noted in a follow-up defense of his work, was a report in the Denton Record Chronicle by Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe. The story, August 31, 2011, reports that the average rate of breast cancer in six counties rose from 58.7 cases per 100,000 people in 2005 to about 60.7 per 100,000 in 2008. The story adds that the rates are below the national average, and that researchers did not attribute a cause, although it might involve "many factors."
Public records compiled from cancer registry data give a snapshot of cancers diagnosed in given places at given times. (I learned this from years of fist hand reporting on several statistically significant leukemia clusters over industrial TCE plumes under several neighborhoods in Broome County New York.) But they are not a tool intended for or capable of accounting for myriad risk factors and demographics necessary for a meaningful epidemiology study. Cancer exposures typically must be accounted for over time (prior to diagnosis). So patients' histories, life styles, occupations, and migrations need to be factored in. Also, how can one risk be separated from another? Smoking? Diet? Age? Health Care access? Poverty level? Are people moving into the area with these risk factors from another area?
When taking into account all these kinds of factors, sometimes patterns emerge from cancer registry data that are invisible in the vagueness of the big picture; and sometimes patterns that seem significant on face value disappear. Yet Fox's film – highlighting a map showing blocks of red over the Barnett Shale representing elevated breast cancer rates – fails to mention, much less account for, any of this. It's the very kind of rhetorical recklessness that Fox blames on the industry, and it has prompted similar kinds of criticism
"Saying something causes breast cancer is like yelling fire in a theater. It should be only said when true," states John Hanger, who headed Pennsylvania's efforts to regulate the shale gas industry under Gov. Ed. Rendell. (Hanger was a primary pursuer of the ultimately unsuccessful attempt to order Cabot Oil and Gas to build a waterline to Dimock to compensate residents for an aquifer damaged by drilling-related methane migration.) You can read his blog on the Sky is Pink here.
Sandra Steingraber, an ecologist, author, and fracking opponent, defended Fox by noting that, just because something is not known conclusively to cause cancer, doesn't mean that it should be excluded as a suspect. In her view, the numbers in Fox's film warrant a closer look:
The larger point made in The Sky is Pink that there is something unusual about the longer-term breast cancer incidence patterns in the counties overlying the Barnett Shale where gas drilling is most intense. These patterns clearly need to be investigated further.But does fracking cause cancer? The back and forth between those for and those against was predictable. Less predicable was backlash from an Associated Press reporter Kevin Begos, who called Fox on his lack of methodology. In his July 22 report, Begos cites, among others, Simon Craddock Lee, a professor of medical anthropology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas who characterized Fox's reading of breast cancer rates as way off base. Lee called the claims of an increase "a classic case of the ecological fallacy" because they falsely suggest that breast cancer is linked to just one factor. In fact, diet, lifestyle and access to health care also play key roles.
I believe that Begos' report reflects healthy (and growing) pressure from the mainstream news media to raise the bar of accountability on both sides for readers growing tired of a partisan back and forth and looking for more sophistication in reporting. Weighing the long-term environmental consequences of spills, water consumption, methane migration, waste production and disposal, truck traffic etc. is not simple – it requires manpower, reporting, transparency, and enforcement. Gauging effects on public health is even more problematic. Researchers must test changes in an elusive and migrant human population with logistical and cultural barriers to examination. The tools of epidemiology – statistics and probability – are abstractions that defy the craving for black and white arguments that easily suite the rhetorical purposes of either side of the argument. Assigning responsibility for dead fish, unhealthy air, biological fragmentation – can be politically charged. Epidemiology studies that connect human disease and mortality to industrial factors are sure to grab even more attention.
As Fox may (or may not) be learning, using incomplete data to make sweeping observations may do his cause more harm than good. That said, pressing for more information is a worthwhile pursuit. Lack of a clear picture of public health risks from fracking should not dampen public discussion that provokes the kind of study that eventually leads to answers.

I drive out of my way to play this course. It has lots of potential. The tee pads are grass and marked with red markers making it easy to navigate through the course. It is a little short and in it infantsy. I would like to see it get alternative tee pads and lengthen the course out. The park is nice and there are some challenges and two of the holes are 400+

Deya Old Town. Majorca © Turespaña
Deià is a beautiful town in the Majorcan coast known as Costa Norte, situated between Sierra de Tramuntana and the sea. The city centre declared of Cultural Interest and with its ancient Majorcan houses, sits on the side of a small hill that overlooks the Mediterranean. It has remained intact through the passage of time, being traditionally the home to many painters and artists. In the vicinity of this town, the coast forms secluded coves that invite rest and are the ideal setting to take a relaxing walk. These are only a few of the possibilities that Deià has to offer, a place where one can try the delicacies that are typical of Balearic cuisine.
A rugged landscape of forests and olive orchards is the incredible backdrop of Deià, a well-kept village with steep streets, lined with stone façades, that stretch on the slope of a seaside hill. Although the area was settled since Prehistory, the Arabs were the ones that, in the Middle Ages, named it "Ad daia", and contributed many intelligent solutions to overcome the terrain's unevenness, such as terrace farming.
In the higher part of the city, the parish church stands, whose origins date back to the late 15th century. The temple, with an only nave, has an ancient defence tower attached to it, which was later turned into a belltower. In its interior we can visit the Parish Museum, which exhibits an interesting religious art collection.
Behind the church we can visit the municipal cemetery (17th century), a splendid viewpoint over the valley, where many distinguished figures who lived in this village have their final resting place.
Another remarkable work of religious architecture is the monastery of Miramar (13th century), where Ramón Llull, a writer and missionary, taught.
Nearby we find the Museum of the Archduke Luis Salvador. Located in Son Marroig, this museum exhibits the personal belongings of the archduke, as well as different collections of paintings, and ceramics of Phoenician, Greek-Latin, and Arab-Hispanic origin.
Another museum in Deià, the Archaeological Museum, collects numerous artefacts from the settlements of Muleta (Sóller) and Son Ferrandell-Olesa.
The municipality has many hidden coves along its coast, where the visitor can enjoy a bath on crystal waters. The best known is the cove Cala de Deià, which has become a meeting point for the town's folk, as well as an anchorage for vessels during the summer.
Gastronomy and the outskirts
Deià is surrounded by the unique landscapes of Sierra de Tramuntana, and is located only a few kilometres away from other towns like Valldemossa and Sóller. The scenic road connecting Deià and Valldemosa offers excellent views, between olive orchards and the sea. It is recommended that the visitor stop at En Son Marroig to gaze over the edge of the cliff. This constitutes one of the most beautiful views of the Majorcan coastline. Further ahead, Valldemossa boasts a picturesque historic quarter, where we must point out the Carthusian monastery, with a belltower that is covered with green tiles. Going on the opposite direction we find Sóller, which has beautiful stately mansions and palatial residences among orange orchards. An ancient train will take us to the Port of Sóller, a perfect place to be delighted by Majorcan dishes, made with fresh fish and seafood. Or otherwise, we can try island products with their own Designation of Origin, such as "sobrasada" (a kind of spicy pork spread), cheese from Mahón, and wines from Binissalem-Majorca. Tumbet (a vegetable stew with potatoes, fried peppers, and eggplant, covered with tomato sauce), rice-dishes with fish, and "pa amb oli" (a piece of bread rubbed with oil and tomato) must not be missing form our table. For dessert, nothing better than "ensaimada" with some of the fine liqueurs distilled here, like "palo", gin, and "hierbas"

1. I've always thought the best compliment you can give a movie is that, while it's playing, you forget not only that you are watching a movie, but also that you are a person with a life that was going on before the movie and will continue going on afterward. These are the transformative films, the ones that transport you somewhere outside of your body, transfix, mesmerize you. These are the ones that remind you why movies are immersive in a way no other medium is; these are the ones that you wait for. Zero Dark Thirty is one of those movies. It grabs you by the brain and squeezes.
2. The movie is about the search for Osama bin Laden, opening with a black screen and various horrific sounds of September 11—explosions, screams, terrified, doomed 911 calls. The die is cast, in 15 seconds: Find who did this. We meet Maya (Jessica Chastain), a CIA operative assigned to the bin Laden beat weeks after September 11 who, doggedly and in self-destructive fashion, stays on the case for the next decade-plus. The movie simply follows her and those who work with her, following every clue, chasing down every dead lead, plunging down every dark alley in search of something, anything, that could lead to bin Laden.
We don't learn a lick about Maya, or anybody else, outside of the hunt. Everyone's personal life is kept off-screen, if it even exists at all. I found myself surprised that Maya is, in fact, a real person, albeit an anonymous one. In a lesser film, she'd be a composite, generic Hero Character. (Sort of the way that Ben Affleck is in Argo, now that I'm thinking about it.) Here, though, she's a lonely warrior, a constant pest ... a real pain in the ass. Exactly the type of person you don't want hunting you down.
3. The bin Laden hunt history is something every American is at least vaguely aware of, from "smoke 'em out" to "wanted dead or alive" to "I don't spend that much time on him." We went from vowing vengeance to being distracted by other wars to pretending we didn't care if we found him or not to having parties in the street once we learned he was dead. None of this matters to Maya, though: Her focus is the through-line in the film, and Chastain is terrific at showing how this hunt is tearing Maya apart, and that won't slow her down in the slightest. It's fascinating to see how other characters react to Maya; they basically just keep jumping out of her way, lest they get run over. Eventually, when the right clue comes along, she pounces, and everyone gets on board, including, ultimately, CIA chief Leon Panetta (played with bemused charm by James Gandolfini). Maya is a force of nature's fury, an avenging angel. She's the one who never stops.
4. There has been some talk about whether or not the film condones torture; the first 15 minutes of the film consist of a brutal torture scene, including waterboarding. The debate about this has existed outside the movie, and in large part among people who haven't seen it. The political posturing both ways would be hindsight horsehockey to Maya and her team in Zero Dark Thirty; they're too busy, you know, working.
The movie never explicitly claims torture helped the hunt for bin Laden in the slightest. It shows Maya using whatever she can, including torture, to connect the dots; like many of her other techniques, the torture doesn't seem to work. Zero Dark Thirty isn't a straight line of this-happened-and-this-happened-and-this-happened-and-then-boom-we-got-him. It is about the detours, the mistakes, the compromises, the dead ends. These missteps, these moral compromises ... they make the ultimate success all the more triumphant. The persistence, the pain, the obsession, is justified.
5. The film is so tense that you're practically spent before they even get the guy. But Bigelow, skilled and taut throughout, flexes her action-scene muscles in the grand finale in Abbottabad. The half-hour-plus raid sequence that closes the film left me breathless; thank heavens I already knew how it would end. (The sequence also features a surprisingly muscular and intimidating Chris Pratt as one of the primary Seal Team Six members.) By the time the film was over, and all that focus and intensity and tension was released, I found myself almost gasping for air.
Bigelow has always been an impressively kinetic filmmaker, but she's achieved an epic, almost revolutionary feat of filmmaking here. It's a historical timeline, a pulsating thriller, a moving character study and a true-life violent revenge story, all in one, told in a sweating, oppressive, strangling fashion. The film I find myself comparing it most to is United 93. But that film was set in just one place, that airplane. Zero Dark Thirty sustains its power on a set that is the whole world. A week later, I still haven't shaken it.

When To Refer
Aside from the signs or symptoms that may suggest the need for counseling, there are other guidelines which may help the faculty member define the limits of his/her involvement with a particular student's problem. It is important not only to hear what the student is saying but to be attentive to the non-verbal behaviors as well as the feelings underlying the message to you. A referral is usually indicated under the following circumstances:
1. A person contemplating suicide.
This has the potential of being the most severe of all crises dealt with herein. Although there are wide differences in the seriousness of suicidal thoughts, any time a student is thinking of it seriously enough to discuss it with you he or she is probably pretty upset. Although it is important for you to help deal with immediate feelings, a threat to self or others ethically requires strong intervention on the part of the faculty or other professionals. In order to assess the severity of the suicidal thought, a counselor from the Counseling Center should be contacted. Offer to walk with the student to see the Counselor. It is possible to save a life by taking quick, effective action.
2. If a student is reluctant to discuss a problem with you for some reason.
You may sense that the student may not feel comfortable talking to you; for example, the student might be more at ease talking with a male or female. In that case, you should refer the student to an appropriate individual.
3. If the student has physical symptoms.
Headaches, dizziness, stomach pains, insomnia can be physical manifestations of psychological states. If students complain about symptoms they suspect (or you suspect) may be connected with their problem, it would be in the best interest to refer the student to the Vice President of Student Development, University Police, or Counseling Services.
4. Someone you feel you have not helped, or whom you have gone as far as you can go with, but who you feel needs more help.
None of us can help everyone needing help because of personality differences, lack of experience, or a variety of other reasons. When you have the feeling that you have not been helpful enough, try to be honest with the student and suggest a specific person, the counseling services or an agency that would meet the student's needs.
5. When a person asks for a referral.
You need some information from the person to know where the best referral is. It is also a good idea to explore with the student how urgent this need is. It may be that the student is feeling quite upset and some exploration with you will help the individual feel more comfortable being referred.
6. When a student presents a problem or requests information which is outside your range of knowledge.
Refer the student to the appropriate person who can provide assistance.
7. Lack of objectivity on your part.
You may know the student on other than a professional basis (friend, neighbor, relative), may know the person the student is talking about, or be identifying too closely with the problem being discussed. Any of these may interfere with your ability to be a nonjudgmental listener. It would be better for the student to be referred to someone else.

U.S self-interest and why it will not interfere to stop Egyptian military from massacring the civilians.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. military is heavily dependent on Egypt to move personnel and equipment to Afghanistan and around volatile parts of the Middle East, complicating U.S. efforts to place pressure on the Egyptian military in the wake of its violent crackdown on protesters.
"Egypt has been a cornerstone for the U.S. military presence in the Middle East," said James Phillips, an analyst at the Heritage Foundation.
During the past year, more than 2,000 U.S. military aircraft flew through Egyptian airspace, supporting missions in Afghanistan and throughout the Middle East, according to U.S. Central Command, which is responsible for the region.

Pucker up! Have you ever heard of the "kissing disease"? If you said that it's mono, you're absolutely correct.
But you don't get mono only from kissing. Infectious mononucleosis, called mono for short, is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is a type of herpes virus. Other viruses in the herpes family cause cold sores and illnesses like chickenpox.
Most people who get mono are between the ages of 15 and 25, but younger kids can get it, too. The mono virus affects the lymph nodes, throat, salivary glands, liver, spleen, and blood, and it can make a person feel tired and achy all over. It can also make you lose your appetite.
You probably know what your lymph nodes are, and you probably guessed that your salivary glands are inside of your mouth. But what about your spleen? It's located on the left side of your abdomen, just under the ribcage, and it helps cleanse your blood of bacteria and viruses.
Mono is contagious, which means you can spread the virus to other people who haven't had mono before. Even though you can get mono from kissing someone infected with EBV, there are other ways you can get it, but they all involve contact with saliva. Sharing straws, toothbrushes, or food from the same plate can also spread mono.
At first, people usually don't feel sick after getting infected with the EBV virus. So someone could be infected — and be spreading mono — and not even know it. That's why it's important not to share things like forks, straws, water bottles, or lip gloss at school.
Mono can cause you to feel really, really tired, but you may have other symptoms, too. These include:
Sometimes, it may seem like you have the flu or maybe strep throat because the symptoms are so much alike. The only way to tell for sure if you have mono is to go to a doctor, who will examine you and draw blood for tests (one test is called the Monospot) to see if you have mono.
Usually with mono you will need plenty of rest. This might mean no school for a while, no sports, and no running outside playing with friends or even wrestling with your little brother. While you're resting, it's a good idea to drink plenty of water and other fluids. You can ask your mom or dad to give you a pain reliever if you have a fever or if your muscles are sore. Don't take any aspirin, though, because that can put you at risk for a condition called Reye syndrome, which can be dangerous.
Other kids might not feel very sick at all, so a lot of bed rest isn't necessarily for everyone. But it's very important to listen to your body. Someone who has mono should tell a parent if he or she starts feeling worse. And if the person feels tired and run down, it's the body's way of saying more rest is needed.
If you play contact sports, such as football and basketball, you will probably need to avoid them while you're sick and for about a month after the illness — especially if your spleen is enlarged. Your doctor will let you know when it's safe for you to get back in the game.
You'll probably be happy to hear that mono usually goes away after a few weeks, even though you'll have to take it easy for awhile. Make sure you wash your hands after you cough or sneeze. Keep your straws, forks, and toothbrushes to yourself, and . . . no kissing for a few months!

Being an emotional man is a gift and a curse
Before I start, because I know I have to write defensively on subjects that are touchy for me: I'm not looking for any sympathy, I'm not trying to brag about "how enlightened I am for having basic emotions" or whatever negative preconceived notion you started reading this with. I'm not trying to say "woe is me".
I just have a lot of spiraling thoughts in my head that I want to get out so I can actually focus on what I need to focus on today. This post is mostly for me to read myself over and over again, if it resonates with anyone else, neat.

Another post about river songs? Not this one. Because I've remembered that I don't work for Rolling Stone and was actually hired by the Conservancy as a river scientist, this post is about coastal deltas, those places where big rivers meet the sea.
When a river flows out into a large body of water, like the ocean, the sediment it has been carrying — such as sand and silt — succumbs to gravity and falls downward. Over long periods of time, this process results in the creation of new land, often in the basic shape of a triangle (hence the name "delta" after the Greek letter Δ; see photo above of the inverted green triangle of the Nile River delta).
Imagine a particle of soil eroding from a Nebraska hillside, being carried away by the "Big Muddy" (the Missouri River), then down the Mississippi, and finally settling out to help build up the marshland of coastal Louisiana. Over millenia, this process has constructed deltas that collectively are home to 500 million people — or approximately 1 out of every 12 people on Earth — and some of the most important agricultural areas on the planet. Deltas are also incredibly important for biodiversity and as nursery areas for fish and shellfish.
But in much of the world, the processes that build and maintain deltas have been greatly diminished or even halted, as described by James Syvitski and co-authors in a paper last fall in Nature Geoscience. Worse, rising sea levels threaten to erode and flood delta lands, and salinate (make salty) deltas' groundwater, wetlands and river channels.
For a paper in a scientific journal, Syvitski's has a very concise and accessible title: "Sinking deltas due to human activities."
What are these human activities? One is the construction of "armored" levees around delta river channels to lock the river in place and prevent flooding. But keeping floodwaters away from a delta's land robs it of the very sediment needed to maintain and continue building the delta.
Dams are a second major cause of sinking deltas. A large dam creates a reservoir behind it which greatly slows or halts a river's flow, causing its sediment to drop out. Behind most big dams, a delta forms where the river enters the dam's reservoir. These "reservoir deltas" grow even as the downstream "original deltas" shrink.
With 50,000 major dams worldwide, and thousands more being built and planned, people now have a major effect on the global movement of sediment. In an earlier paper, Syvitski and co-authors estimated that reservoirs trap approximately one-quarter of the global annual flux of sediment — sediment that would otherwise reach deltas and the ocean — and that, cumulatively, more than 100 billion metric tons of sediment has been captured behind dams.
Syvistski identifies a number of deltas that are in "greater peril" and many of these are deltas downstream of major dams that capture nearly all the riverborne sediment. For example, the Colorado Delta's annual sediment deposits have declined by 100 percent and the Nile Delta's sediment inputs have dropped by 98 percent. Meanwhile the Nile Delta is home to half of Egypt's population and the country's most important farmland.
The Mekong Delta — which produces half of Vietnam's rice crop — is classified as being "in peril" because the delta land is sinking and sea level is rising. This is occurring even though upstream dams have reduced sediment supply by only 12 percent. The sinking and eventual loss of the Mekong Delta is yet one more reason for grave concern over the impacts of a series of proposed major dams on the Mekong mainstream as well as dam construction throughout the basin.
What can be done to reverse the sinking of the world's deltas? Obviously, efforts to slow or halt climate change (and associated sea-level rise) will help deltas persist. Those that fund, build and license new dams should strive to minimize reductions of sediment inputs to important deltas.
Within deltas, river channels can be freed to spread across more of the land to deposit sediment, thus counteracting erosion and sea-level rise. This approach has been proposed for the Mississippi River Delta (see photo below), identifed by Syvitski as being "in peril."
I originally wrote the words above last April, just before the Deepwater Horizon oil spill cast its dark shadow over the Mississippi River Delta and the entire Gulf of Mexico. So I shelved the post, thinking that the issue of sinking deltas would, for awhile, be subordinate to news about oil spills, impacts and recovery.
But as desperate, stop-gap actions to fight the spill have given way to long-term planning for the Gulf's recovery, a chorus of voices is prodding the nation to use this disaster as a fulcrum for fundamental restoration of the Delta and Gulf.
Bob Marshall of the New Orleans Times-Picayune writes:
We need to remember (the oil spill ) is a temporary problem on top of a permanent disaster. Long after BP's oil is gone, we'll still be fighting for survival against a much more serious enemy — our sinking, crumbling delta. Our coast is like a cancer patient who has come down with pneumonia. That's serious, but curable. After the fever breaks, he'll still have cancer.
And Mike can point to reasons for optimism: "While Barataria Bay in the Mississippi River Delta represents possibly the greatest rate of loss of coastal marshes worldwide, just 'next door' in Atchafalaya Bay, the marshes are growing — and doing more than just keeping pace with sea level rise. There are important lessons to be learned here; with better river management we could re-build those marshes." (see photo below for locations).
As politicians often say, a crisis is a terrible thing to waste.
AN AMERICAN DELTA: the delta of the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. Note that the sediment plume of the leveed Mississippi River is far beyond Barataria Bay, which is rapidly losing marsh land, while the sediment plume of the Atchalafaya River is building new marsh in Atchalafaya Bay.

The Harassment of Billy Gillispie by that Coward the NABCPosted by rtmsf on September 30th, 2008
For the second time since last spring's Mario Miracle, the NABC has put out a statement that squarely fixes its crosshairs on Kentucky's second-year coach, Billy Gillispie. Certainly you remember the June directive the NABC made to stop recruiting junior high players in the wake of the media firestorm over Gillispie's recruiting of 8th grader Michael Avery. We wrote at the time:
Luckily, this may be a situation where coaches were doing it because they felt they needed to avoid a competitive disadvantage. Now that the NABC has effectively disavowed this as a strategy (although it is still legal), coaches [including Gillispie] appear to be supportive of the line-drawing.
(Ed Note: apparently another Billy, as in Billy Donovan, didn't get that memo from the NABC.)Andy Katz now reports on his blog today that the NABC put forth a new statement yesterday that admonishes coaches for using their early autumn 'skill development' time (2 hours/week) prior to full practices for recruiting purposes. More specifically, they don't want schools to bump up their Midnight Madness festivities to a preceding weekend so as to take advantage of a more favorable recruiting scenario (i.e., big football game on campus, local stripper convention, the fact that nobody else is having Midnight Madness that weekend). Why is this important now? Because Kentucky and Illinois (with its gimmicky outdoor practice) are planning on having their Midnight Madnesses a week prior to the 'official' start of practice. The NABC statement (via Katz):
The NABC board of directors said that "skill development events should not be open to the public." The NABC said the initial intent was for coaches to assist their players in skill development and create stronger relationships. But by "making such skill development sessions public events, they appear to be geared more for recruiting than skill development sessions."
Coach Gillispie, godlovehim, just cannot resist pushing the envelope when it comes to the NCAA rulebook. We're not saying that he's breaking any rules – hell, we're not even saying that he's bending them – but like any fastidious attorney, he manages to consistently find the gray nether-regions where legislative intent meets bright-line rule, and he forces those in charge to make decisions.
Bring It On, NABC! (photo credit: AP/Ed Reinke)
Our take on these early Midnight Madness celebrations is such: we tend to like orderliness when it comes to college hoops, as in… we'd like to know with assurance when Opening Night will be or when the Final Four will be. So we're 100% in agreement with the NABC on this one – can't we just all agree to have Midnight Madness on the same night, and preferably, AT MIDNIGHT? If the NCAA has to mandate this, so be it – add another page to the 17-lb rulebook.
Update (10/1): Jeff Goodman weighs in with this background information about the NABC:
Word is that there were numerous coaches on a conference call who were less than thrilled with Gillispie's decision. They feel that the NCAA allows the coaches the two hours per week for skill development and Gillispie is taking advantage of the rule. It was the unanimous decision of the Board that skill development events should not be open to the public.

This issue has been driving me up the wall lately. I have obviously have no idea what I am doing wrong.
When I transition the throttle, off (goes rich of course) then back on, the motor just goes lean (like 1.2-1.5) and bogs. This is on small throttle inputs too.
I have dTPS enrichment at 50% and it still does this. Warm or cold, same. Are my EGO closed loop settings wrong? Is my VE table totally wrong? I have been logging and tuning the VE table for weeks.
