With attention on her personal life intensifying, Lindsey Vonn will be surrounded by bodyguards at the Alpine skiing world championships.
An average of 30,000 fans per race are expected in this small Alpine village during the 13-day championships, which start Tuesday with the women's super-G and end Feb. 17.
"There's going to be an incredible amount of people here in Schladming, and it's a very small space," Vonn said Sunday at a news conference arranged by the U.S. team.
She said Red Bull, her sponsor, has hired security "to make sure I can get in and out and not have any difficulty, but I don't expect there to be any problems. But it's better to be safe than sorry."
There has been online chatter about an alleged relationship between Vonn and Tiger Woods. She was asked by a local TV reporter whether the golfer would be coming to watch her ski.
"Oh, my god! I don't know," Vonn replied. "You should ask him."
The reporter then asked again, "in the name of Schladming."
"I have no idea. I have no idea," Vonn said, repeating herself with a big smile and giggles.
Her divorce from her husband of more than four years, Thomas, was completed last month.
Vonn recently left the circuit for nearly a month to recover from an intestinal illness. She has won two races since she returned last month.
"I actually don't know what's going on in the U.S. as far as media pertaining to these world championships," Vonn said. "I haven't really been going online very much. I've just been focusing on preparing for world championships."

Mandatory Sentencing For Gun Violence
[National Op-Ed: On Gun Violence]
There is need for harsher sentencing for illegal weapons possesion.
Just ask Buffalo community activist and former Mayoral candidate Darnell Jackson lost another nephew to gun violence; his second in three months.
Robert C. Jackson Jr., was shot in the head. Word is he wasn't even the target. The bullet was intended for one of the three who were wounded; Dwan House, Robert Caulfield, or Anwar Berry.
He was at the wrong place at the wrong time; there was a "beef" going on in front of Dinny's Bar on William Street here in Buffalo at 2a.m. on a Saturday. Robert Jackson had just recently completed a prison term. The uncle told me he was trying to turn his life around.
Ironically, almost a decade ago, Robert Jackson's Senior, father of the recent victim, was gunned down by members of a street gang off of Ferry Street—a cold case that still needs resolving.
A ranking of "US Cities Where it's Hardest to Get By," in the April issue of Forbes magazine placed Buffalo at fifth. According to the ranking: Our cost of living index is 96; our median income is at $44,740; and our far-famed unemployment rate is 9.6%. Cities ranking ahead of Buffalo on hardship, according to the Forbes piece, beginning from one –to four are: Providence RI, Los Angeles CA, Riverside CA, and Tampa FL. The Forbes piece called Buffalo "a fading rustbelt city."
With things getting tougher in Buffalo, more bleak times and possible violence can be anticipated.
The chances for a Black man to find gainful employment in Buffalo is daunting; let alone for a Black man with a record just out of prison.
So if violence dwells near hardship, or the other way around, what is to be done in places like Buffalo?
Jackson, the former mayoral candidate had a proposition. Why not impose the mandatory sentencing guidelines that were formerly used for drug possession under the Rockefeller Drug laws for weapons possession without a permit?
Maybe the harsher penalties would drive some sense and save some lives.

MacBook Pro with Touch Bar 13 inch 512GB (New)
MacBook Pro
More power.More performance.More pro.
It's faster and more powerful than before, yet remarkably thinner and lighter. It has the brightest, most colorful Mac notebook display ever. And it introduces the Touch Bar — a Multi-Touch enabled strip of glass built into the keyboard for instant access to the tools you want, right when you want them. The new MacBook Pro is built on groundbreaking ideas. And it's ready for yours.
Touch Bar and Touch ID
A revolutionary new way to use your Mac.
The Touch Bar replaces the function keys that have long occupied the top of your keyboard with something much more versatile and capable.2 It changes automatically based on what you're doing to show you relevant tools you already know how to use — system controls like volume and brightness, interactive ways to adjust or browse through content, intelligent typing features like emoji and predictive text, and more. And for the first time, Touch ID is available on a Mac, enabling instant access to logins and fast, secure online purchases with Apple Pay.
The ultimate tool of every trade.
The new MacBook Pro elevates the notebook to a whole new level of performance and portability. Wherever your ideas take you, you'll get there faster than ever with cutting-edge graphics, high-performance processors, state-of-the-art storage, and more.
Retina Display
The brightest, most colorful Mac notebook display ever.
The new display in the MacBook Pro is the best ever in a Mac notebook. It features brighter LED backlighting and an increased contrast ratio, delivering deeper blacks and brighter whites. Its larger pixel aperture and variable refresh rate make it more power efficient than previous generations. And it's the first Mac notebook to support wide color, for even more vibrant greens and reds. This ensures truer-to-life pictures with realistically vivid details, essential for graphic design, color grading, and editing.
Speakers that speak for themselves. Loudly.
The speakers have been totally redesigned to provide as much as twice the dynamic range and up to 58 percent more volume, with two and a half times louder bass for maximum boom. And they're connected directly to system power, enabling up to three times more peak power. So they make MacBook Pro the perfect choice for mixing a track on the fly, editing video on location, or enjoying a movie on the go.
Keyboard and Trackpad
More responsive keyboard. More expansive trackpad.
Interacting with the new MacBook Pro is a better experience all around. The keyboard has been redesigned to include our new, second-generation butterfly mechanism — meticulously refined for greater comfort and responsiveness. And the Force Touch trackpad is significantly larger, giving your fingers more room to gesture and click.
Thunderbolt 3
The most powerfuland versatile port ever.
Thunderbolt 3 combines ultra-high bandwidth with the ultra-versatility of the USB-C industry standard to create one revved-up universal port. It integrates data transfer, charging, and video output in a single connector, delivering up to 40 Gbps of throughput for twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2. And both sizes of MacBook Pro are available with four ports, so you can do all that from either side. Existing devices are easily connected with a cable or adapter. And Thunderbolt 3 is reversible, so no matter how you plug in, it's always right side up.

Barnsley manager Keith Hill has confirmed Egyptian striker Mido is poised to leave the club.
The 29-year-old former Tottenham and Middlesbrough man joined the Reds in the summer on a short-term deal, but a host of fitness issues has seen him manage just 27 minutes of competitive action.
And his time at Oakwell is about to come to an end, with the final touches being put on his exit.
"He's an exceptional person, he's played at the top level in most leagues in Europe," Hill said.
"At 29, he slipped down the levels and I thought we could pursue a possibility of resurrecting him, but that hasn't worked out.
"But he retains the ability and pedigree, but his vision is not the same as the manager's.
"It is amicable, but the plan to resurrect him hasn't worked.
"We will be pursuing a different direction to Mido."

I took lots of photos with the new Sony Too, almost 400. Many have been and will be showing up on my blog, Reflection's Flora and Fauna. Follow the links for the previously posted photos as you find them below.
Just outside the entrance gate is this fine specimen of a crested saguaro. You can learn a bit about the crested saguaro here.
A Saguaro Skeleton photo is here on Flora and Fauna.
A view of the walkway and gardens.
There was a fascinating display of minerals and rocks and stuff. The room was dark, the display behind glass, difficult to photograph.
Below: This is azurite, from Bisbee, Arizona.
The Puma Mountain Lion is here.
I found this large egg laying on the ground near the walkway, looks fresh to me. It is twice the size of a chicken egg, give or take. The only "bird" that I was aware of that was nearby would have been a wild turkey. Looks to me as if someone had a good meal?? But, WHY was this on the outside of the exhibit areas on the walkway?
Of course, I am always looking for fences:

Still to come, gray fox, fairy duster and some I have not worked on yet. In the meantime, here is a totem pole cactus. I really love the shape of this one!
There are still a number of photos to review and edit and post to Flora and Fauna, so, stay tuned. So for now, I'll close this wonderful visit to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum with Man having a rest and enjoying the view and the sun, with a saguaro skeleton in the background, and all that BLUE sky!

The Moistest Carrot Cake You Will Ever Eat!!
This recipe is my dad's favorite because it is so moist. Apparently carrot cake is not always moist. This cake is so good the next day right out of the fridge. I love cold cake with a hot cup of tea. My kids love carrot cake because they feel like they are eating a vegetable disguised as dessert. Whatever, we do count this cake as a veggie. Am I a good moma or what?? Did I mention I serve this with liver??? Not really, quit making a face. Give this cake a try the next time you are craving carrot cake. This is What's Cookin on Beaty's Creek today.
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 t salt
1 T baking soda
1 T cinnamon
1 1/2 cups canola oil
4 large eggs-beaten, I use free range
1 T vanilla
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
2 cups finely grated carrots
1 cup of crushed pineapple
8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
6 T butter at room temperature
2 1/2 cups powder sugar

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour two 9 inch cake pans. Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Add oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat well. Fold in coconut, carrots and pineapple. Pour batter into pans. Set on the middle rack of oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until edges have pulled away from sides and a toothpick or sharp knife tip inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool completely.
To make icing, cream together the cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl and slowly sift in the confectioners sugar and beat until mixture is free of lumps. Stir in vanilla at the end. Ice as you would any two layer cake.

I don't have the legs worked out yet but I figured I'd post to see if I can get some help with this transport. I will be picking up Miss Muffin the 4.5 Yorkie princess who was saved from a Mill. A friend of mine in Rochester will be adopting her.
It looks like the entire trip is on I-90 so it should be relatively easy to map it out. And if I can't get any help, if anyone from Rochester wants to tag along and keep me company, well that would be welcome too!

"Whose scrotum do I have to tickle to get this goddamn movie made?"
|The Uncyclopedia Movie
|Directed by
|Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer
|Written by
|Oscar Wilde
|Gene Wilder

|Produced by
|Distributed by
|Uncyclomedia Films
|Release date

|IMDb page
"The Uncyclopedia Movie" has become one of the most notorious and infamous unfinished films of all time. The project, fronted by none other than the posthumous Oscar Wilde and starting production in early 2005, was massively over-budgeted and had directly caused the deaths of several famous Hollywood actors (four of whom were not involved in the filming in any way) and countless other cast and crew members by 2007. It was originally supposed to be a sequel for the almost as notorious film "U for Uncyclopedia" (which earned a rating of 1.1 in contrast to "The Uncyclopedia Movie", which was given a disgracing 1.0 by Internet Movie Database and other significant film sites), but ended up being disowned by almost everyone involved in it. Despite being heavily hyped as being the first time Oscar Wilde had written anything since his 1898 poem The Ballad of Reading Gaol, The Uncyclopedia Movie had to be scrapped until October 2007, the officially stated reasons being: "Bankruptcy of Uncyclopedia studio, and poor concept[1]"
There is none as such, although some critics have complained of the film's similarities to The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
Origins (1899-1900)[edit]
Oscar Wilde, popular playwright, poet, and indisputably the greatest Irish writer of all time[2], was running short of ideas by the late 1800's-to-early 1900's. Self-proclaimed "trivial comedies for serious people" such as the The Importance of Being Earnest were done ideas, as were nihilistic commentaries on the morality and usefulness of art such as The Picture of Dorian Gray. What Oscar needed was something fresh; he set out to write what the people wanted. Having no idea of what the people did indeed want, Oscar set up the Uncyclopedia in early 1899, a humorous source of information designed to be written by the people, for the people.
Oscar took the end result of the project and gradually assembled it into the contents of a book, entitled The Humourous Encyclopedia: An Uncyclopedia. The Uncyclopedia became a widespread phenomenon, also spawning a news source and dictionary among other things, but soon caved in, due to its open-ended nature, to vandals. Shortly before his death the next year, Oscar wrote a lamenting play documenting the downfall of the Uncyclopedia. The playscript should have been labelled an instant masterpiece, but due to Wilde's death just after he completed it, it was lost.
Recovery (2005)[edit]
By 2005, Oscar Wilde's pet project and all its bastard childeren had been moved to the internet to avoid ink and paper costs, and Unyclopedia itself was now a large-scale humour and vandalism device based on independent servers. However, like Wilde in 1899, Unyclopedia was facing a lack of originality. Its humour was derived mainly from repetetive jokes about English teachers, European iPods and Oscar himself, and the rest was little more than random humour and disgustingly low standards.
In early 2005, one of Unyclopedia's subdivisions, the Oscar Wilde restoration project, lead a funded architectural dig at his former apartment condo and uncovered a mildly intact copy of the Uncyclopedia playscript. This was the answer Uncyclopedia had been looking for: a film adaption of Wilde's script, made well and released in tactical ares would be an act of sheer originality, would gain the site some profit and would atract a generation of new, intelligent writers. Planning the project began instantly, with Unyclopedia's best and brightest starting to work out the costs and budget. The film's budget was estimated at USD$0.21, and Uncyclopedia regular Chronarion quickly signed on as the producer.
As the community made headway on the production, the server space accessible to them rapidly diminished. Eventually, a move to a different server was inevitable: Wikicities, which later morphed into Wikia, was the best option, and the transfer was made. Wikia, as the Uncyclopedia webhost, demanded that production of the movie stop immediately for no discernible reason, but at this point most of the peoples of Uncyclopedia were concentrating on the film. Wilde's script, although flawless, was found to be missing some sixty pages, and much of the rest was annotating those pages.[3] A talented Uncyclopedia writer was hired as a script doctor, and quickly returned a shooting script. At the same time, up and coming comedy directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, having just finished comedy classic Date Movie, had expressed interest in directing the film by recommending the title The Unyclopedia Movie.[4] Mostly because of such creative brilliance, they were hired instantly on a minimal wage.
Filming (2005-2006)[edit]
So far, the The Unyclopedia Movie project had been going mildly well, but as the filming stage began the problems became apparent. The stars of the film were all washed up actors who had somehow agreed to star in the film, the most prominently featured being Gene Wilder starring as Oscar Wilde due to subtle similarities in name and appearance and John Cleese as Captain Obvious, his assistaint. Filming was planned as being done chronologically, with the opening grue orgy being filmed first and the final scene of Oscar Wilde weeping over Captain Obvious's faeces-covered corpse before bursting into song being filmed last, but the grue orgy was held back due to the difficultly of filming it.
Costumes, puppetry and stop-motion animation were all considered to shoot the scene with, but quickly turned down in favour of booting it from the film until further notice. This was thought of as the best possible course of action, even though the scene made clear the plot of the film, introduced the protagonists and made decent attempts to explain the numerous plot holes. The next scene, due to a vast miscalculation of the fighting skill of Chuck Norris, ended with Norris limping from the set after having one foot torn off by the untamed grizzly bear he was to fight. Whilst most people were left scratching their heads, some wondered how the eight other scenes involving Norris would be filmed. The obvious solution was to move on to the next scene yet again, ignoring the consequences of this lazy method and the fact that everyone on set had no idea how to shoot a feature film.
The scene after that consisted of — according to 22.214.171.124's script — "ur mom eeting shat ang goenigg to hElll!!1!" As no one wanted their mothers to eet any shat, and no one could find affordable coaches goenigg to hElll, that scene was scrapped, as were those before it. At that point, the crew simply gave up and the good people at UnTunes were commissioned to write and sing a prologue which would explain the cut scenes in graphic detail and had to be at least twenty five minutes long.
As this happened, someone noticed that it was late 2006, the film has gone disastrously over budget, and that Wikia was threatening to dump Uncyclopedia from their network if the film was not scrapped immediately. Tensions flared, and a sudden taste for clear satire as opposed to random humour led to an all-out fight for control of Uncyclopedia. Users battled valiantly with power-mad administrators, actors with directors, and everyone with Wikia. Numerous pages were vandalised in the conflict, and faeces were flying everywhere. The site had been driven out of control, bankrupted and overwhelmed by this project, which simply had to be abandoned. Finally, a self-proclaimed "new wave" of Uncyclopedia members, focused on civil actions and sensible humour, rose to control and unexpectedly dictated what was to be done. The Uncyclopedia Movie became no more than a recording of a twenty five minute a capella, some concept art, a poor script and approximately thirteen seconds of usable footage. It had becomea disaster, but following its proud tradition, Uncyclopedia simply looked the other way and moved on.
Re-recovery (2007-)[edit]
After the tense clash that ended the production of The Uncyclopedia Movie, Uncyclopedia was left on unsteady footing with Wikia. The "new wave" of Uncyclopedians began to improve much of the website's content, also attempting to regain the estimated the $2 lost during the production. Eventually the resultant regime achieved a state of relative peace, having fully recovered from the battles of 2006. Yet, they too ran into the writer's block that was not having anything to do. Under pressure from some of the older users, the authority flirted with the idea of restarting the Uncyclopedia Movie project. It was a risk, as relationships with Wikia had further degraded and many of the former actors and crew had walked out.
Nevertheless, the Uncyclopedians persisted in completing the film. Shooting resumed in private, with a new script, incorporating more of Wilde's work, being used to complete the remainder of the film. Funding had evaporated, but as there were no longer any professional actors to pay, few things required money. Jarring continuity errors between this new footage and the previous work was noticeable. but in the words of one Uncyclopedia user: "That's just nitpicking, isn't it?" Eventually, the entirety of the script had been filmed, much of it featuring Uncyclopedia members and homeless people in place of actors, but the marketing campaign would still feature these former cast members prominently.
The nine hours of footage was edited into a mildly comprehensible film using a high end computer which had Windows Movie Maker installed. This process took roughly two days, a relatively quick time despite the editors watching other people's films for the majority of it. After this, the film was handed to the heads of Uncyclomedia Films, who screened it privately across the Uncyclopedia network[5] and then negotiated a deal with cinemas across North America. The innovative marketing campaign spread across the internet in the form of pop ups windows, viruses and mock death threats, attracting three whole people to The Uncyclopedia Movie's premiere in Hollywood, California.
Official trailer[edit]
Upon its completion, The Uncyclopedia Movie was submitted to various rating agencies around the world to acquire presentable content ratings. It was given an NC-17 rating by the MPAA, but this was eventually appealed to an R for "pervasive strong crude sexual humour and language including sexual dialogue, nudity, sexuality, drug and alcohol use, Geneva convention-violating acts, and for comic graphic bloody violence", in order to appeal to a wider audience. The UK's BBFC originally gave the film a 15 with the advice "Contains strong sex, language which may offend and disturbing violence" and planned to restrict release to some areas of Birmingham; upon appeal (and death threats from the producers) they dropped to a PG. The Australian ratings board, aware of these events, released the film with a G rating straight away, despite The Uncyclopedia Movie passing even the R 18+ criteria.
Critical reception[edit]
The Uncyclopedia Movie received extremely negative reviews from critics. Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film was "a puddle of utter shit. The characterisation is weak, the plot literally non-existent, the acting seems to be a series of embarrassing celebrity impressions and the general production standards are so appallingly low I was forced to consider my own sanity whilst watching The Uncyclopedia Movie". The rest of McCarty's review was formed of insults directed at the various film crew, in a style similar to most other reviews The Uncyclopedia Movie recieved. Glenn Kenny of MSN Movies rated the film 1 out of 5 stars, concluding with the fact that company rules prevented him from awarding the film a lower rating. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave possibly the only review that was not negative, although the fact that it was a completely nonsensical string of words suggested that he had been driven insane. In the UK, the reviews were equally negative, with BBC film critic Mark Kermode stating: "The film is incomprehensible and the story is six and three quarters hours long and it's a boring, horrific, suicide-inducing six and three quarters hours long." The Guardian notably refused to write a review, citing the lengthy scene in which a Queen Elizabeth II impersonator performs fellatio on a corgi as the primary reason.
Though the movie did not make much of a profit, it did garner just enough money to make Uncyclopedia break even and not completely go out of business. Some believe that private funds were borrowed from the Uncyclopedia Cabal, but it was soon made clear that there is no cabal. However, Uncyclopedia did have to cut back on most of its more superfluous sister projects, leaving only the seven you see today, and write a sizeable letter of apology to Wikia. While Uncyclopedia's previous film effort, U for Uncyclopedia, received a shameful rating of 1.1 out of 10 or 1.1% from significant film sites such as Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, thusly being labelled as having "an infinitesimal fraction of a permille of redeeming value", critics all over the world have unanimously declared The Uncyclopedia Movie the worst film in existence, surpassing other awful movies, and a disgrace to mankind, stating that "Uncyclopedia is the worst".

The Uncyclopedia Movie has been earned several awards; rather unsurprisingly, all of those has been Golden Raspberry Awards. This came as something of a shock to the production crew, as the film had been hotly tipped for a Golden Globe nomination for cinematography. Regardless, The Uncyclopedia Movie became the first film ever to "win" every single Golden Raspberry Award in one year, which included a large number of custom awards made up specifically for the occasion due to the fact that the jury felt that they were running out of negative superlatives to describe the film.
The Golden Raspberry Awards won by The Uncyclopedia Movie include Worst Picture, Worst Remake or Rip-off, Worst Visual Effects, Worst Soundtrack, Worst Film Ending and, cruelly, Worst Cinematography. Also won were a string of actor/actress awards, given to Rob Schneider for his "hauntingly realistic" portrayal of Encyclopedia Dramatica, Tom Cruise for Jimbo Wales, Katie Holmes for 22.214.171.124 (coincidentally, the two also won a Worst Screen Couple Award), the posthumous Oscar Wilde and Mr. T. The Worst Director award went to Alan Smithee, and the Worst Screenplay award was presented to the Uncyclopedia community as a whole, none of whom could be there. Rather interestingly, the one other award The Uncyclopedia Movie earned was the MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss; this is not typically listed as the recipients, Tim Curry and Adam West, refused to accept it.
- About thirty minutes into the film, one of the pages in a newspaper that Jimbo Wales (Tom Cruise) reads is blank, except for the words "This page does not exist".
- The character 126.96.36.199, played by Katie Holmes, repeats the phrase "go eat shit fuckers" in no less than 178 occasions throughout the movie, the world record for a single phrase appearing in a movie. This phrase, though repeated 178 times, is the only spoken line that Holmes has in the movie.
- As many as three hundred and twenty four of the project staff, including camera men, stunt men, make-up artists, writers and catering staff, are seen in shot at some point throughout the movie according to moviemistakes.com. Over four hundred other errors have been documented by users, the most prominent being "the fact that this was ever made".
- ↑ Poor concept? A massive understatement.
- ↑ Sorry, William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and J.R.R. Tolkien.
- ↑ It would later be found out that one of the Wilde restoration project team has simply dropped them in a puddle as they were waiting for a taxi.
- ↑ The previous title was Sexy Sexy Uncyclopedia Bounce Movie!
- ↑ The reaction was one of relative pleasure, as not the whole six-and-a-half hour film, but only its surprisingly infrequent nude scenes were shown.

Forget about EMR interoperability between doctors' offices and hospitals for a moment.
One of the recent developments in the ever-expanding SaaS (software as a service) world of electronic medical records must be the challenge of making all the individual software components talk together correctly.
There is (1) the EMR itself, (2) the programming platform/language, and the (3) internet browser. Forgive the novice in me if I don't get all my nomenclature correct. I'm just a doctor. If one component gets upgraded (and they always do), then the house of cards can come tumbling down in one fell swoop, at least temporarily. We've experienced this recently at our office with our own EMR system and so I have a few thoughts on the matter.
In our office, first it was Firefox stopped working with the EMR. Then we all switched over to Internet Explorer, which seemed to work for a time, but then that stopped working well and frequently froze up. Chrome is working for now, but it seems to be only a ticking timebomb before this no longer works.
To make matters more complicated, different browsers have different ways of displaying information bars at the top, sides and bottom of the EMR window, and so some bars can get in the way of viewing different parts of the screen depending on which browser is used. There are ways around this (conveniently called "workarounds"), but yet again, not so simple or straightforward and thus suboptimal. I have to admit that it sort of feels like jiggling the handle on an old toilet to get it to stop running. In other words, yes, you can do it, but, no, it doesn't feel like it should work that way ideally.
We've been given the explanation that Adobe Flash is having problems interacting with the EMR system, or vice versa, since both the EMR and Flash have gone through successive, iterative upgrades to improve and add functionality to both services. I can totally buy this explanation. However, at what point will it just get too difficult to keep everything going? Is it impossible? Probably not. But it's a heck of a pain watching the EMR go through roadblocks as we forge into the future together, as vendor and provider.
This will undoubtedly affect any EMR system that is dependent upon other, third-party software. It is a common situation that will change over time, and I'm almost certain that this is going to be a challenge, all around, for any EMR system on the market today. As such is the case, I look forward to the day when it can be solved permanently by adopting a new standard for all platforms.

Flash: Haaretz Reports At Least 10 Activists on Gaza Mercy Flotilla Have Been Killed by Israeli Gunfire
Haaretz Report: At least 10 activists killed as Israel Navy opens fire on Gaza aid flotilla Over 60 pro-Palestinian campaigners wounded after aid convoy sailing for Gaza Strip ignored Israel's order to turn back, Turkish news reports. IDF confirms two commandos also wounded. At least three activists from the East Bay, including Dr. Paul Larudee of El Cerrito, have been taking part in the mission to bring relief to Gaza.
The names of those killed have not yet been reported.
ABC News of Australia has now repeated a report from Israel's Channel 10 television of up to 16 dead. The online story includes a video of commandos boarding a ship and firing at passengers. The voice of someone identifying himself as the captain can be heard urging passengers not to show resistance.
Gaza has been under an Israeli-led blockade since 2006.Amnesty International, in its latest Annual Human Rights Report (May 26, 2010) stated that Israel's siege on Gaza has "deepened the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Mass unemployment, extreme poverty, food insecurity and food price rises caused by shortages have left four out of five Gazans dependent on humanitarian aid. The scope of the blockade and statements made by Israeli officials about its purpose showed that it was being imposed as a form of collective punishment of Gazans, a flagrant violation of international law."
The Freedom Flotilla carries 10,000 tons of relief aid to Gaza. Chocolate, crayons, soccer balls, basket balls as well as medical equipment and building supplies are being delivered by the international community directly to the people of Gaza, using only international waters and the coastal waters immediately off of Gaza for passage.
The Sfendoni with its passengers moved through waters near Limassol, Cyprus, yesterday."While passing by we enjoyed a quick swim with some dolphins and then they escorted us on our way," said Paul Larudee, a co-founder of the Free Palestine Movement. "We take this as a very good omen indeed."
Other U.S. citizens on board the Sfendoni:
•Ambassador Edward L. Peck,who served as a paratrooper duringtwo tours of wartime active duty; spent 32 years in the Foreign Service; including stints as Chief of Mission in Iraq and Mauritania, Deputy Director of the Cabinet Task Force on Terrorism at the Reagan White House, and State Department Liaison Officer to the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon; and after retirement was Executive Secretary of the American Academy of Diplomacy.
•Gene St. Onge, an Oakland, CA-based civil/structural engineer, who is working with Palestinian engineers to rebuild housing destroyed in Israel's 2009 invasion of Gaza; and
•Dr. Paul Larudeeof El Cerrito, CA, a piano tuner and FPM co-founder, who also co-foundedThe Free Gaza Movement,the movement that first broke the siege of Gaza in 2008;
• Janet Kobren, a retired math teacher and co-founder of the FPM.

Love at First SightFrom the first time I heard this song and the first time I watched this video it has been my favorite!
15 September, 2012
Everything in 4 minutesThe first time I heard this song my family was living 3000 miles from home in a 2 bedroom apartment while my dad was in the hospital dying. Of course at 16 I didn't think he would really die and this song was both the heartbreaking truth that life can be cold and yet still have incredible hope. U2 has ALWAYS had that resonance in me and is why they are my "I am happy and want to sing" and "I am sad and want to cry" soundtrack. Whatever they come up with now and forever they will connect me to the world.

My older sister had bought the single and was playing it constantly with the Police's 'Ghosts in the Machine' LP (that means Long Play, by the way!)...Back to geometry...Howard Blazard and I had a conversation about how new fresh and cool U2's War LP was, esp. New Year's Day...the first song of theirs I ever heard. I was about 14...almost 15? I think...Good memories at a difficult age in life.

These homemade pumpkin graham crackers are not only pumpkin shaped, but also contain pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spices, giving them a subtle pumpkin flavor.
I made these pumpkin graham crackers in multiple sizes and added some orange sugar to the tiny ones (they were too small for me to give them good faces). Bride 3.0 said that she could "eat 100 of them!" But, she noted that they were a bit Halloweeny for a wedding. Come on – who doesn't want Jack-O-Lanterns at their Spring wedding? :)
The good news is that pumpkin graham crackers can be made in any shape you can cut out. Bride 3.0 suggested hearts.
What to Do With Your Pumpkin Graham Crackers
Aside from simply eating them all up, I have several usage ideas for these pumpkin graham crackers:
- Crumble them to use in the crust for a homemade pumpkin pie.
- Slather them with pumpkin butter or apple butter.
- Put pumpkin ice cream between two of them and freeze for a pumpkin ice cream sandwich.
- Use them to decorate your pumpkin cupcakes.
Pumpkin Graham Cracker Recipe
To make these pumpkin graham crackers, I modified my regular graham cracker recipe. I originally got that graham cracker recipe from Free Range Living. She got the recipe from The Fannie Farmer Baking Book.
My modified recipe is below.
Pumpkin Graham Crackers
- 2 T 1/4 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 2 T pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 6 T sugar
- 4 T honey Some graham crackers use half honey and half molasses. You might consider trying that as a variation.
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 1 t ginger
- 1 t nutmeg
- 1 t cinnamon
- 3/4 t allspice
- 2 t water
- 3/4 t salt
- 1 1/2 C graham flour If you can't get ahold of graham flour, there are plenty of graham cracker recipes that use regular whole wheat flour such as this graham cracker recipe from Baking Bites. You may also be able to directly substitute whole wheat flour in this recipe, but I haven't tested it and I make no promises.
- 3/4 C all-purpose flour
- Combine the butter, pumpkin, egg, and sugar in a bowl and beat until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the honey.
- Dissolve the baking soda in the water and add to the butter mixture.
- Add the salt, graham flour, all-purpose flour, and spices to the mixture and blend thoroughly. The dough should hold together and be manageable. If it is too tacky, add a little more graham flour.
- Liberally dust a surface with graham flour and roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
- Use your cookie cutters to cut out pumpkins or any other shape.
- Use the tines of a fork to make Jack O' Lantern faces on the pumpkins.
- Using a spatula, place the pumpkin graham crackers on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool on racks. They won't be hard when you first take them out of the oven, but they will harden as they cool.

Much to our surprise, two books recently arrived on the doorstep. Unfortunately, we haven't had a moment of free time to even think about cracking open a book. But we want to make mention of each.
The first is titled "Meat Market" and is authored by Bruce Feldman of ESPN. He chronicled the recruiting efforts this past spring of Mississippi Madman Ed Orgeron and his staff.
The second is titled "Bowls, Polls & Tattered Souls" and is authored by Stewart Mandel of Sports Illustrated. Mandel's book examines hot-button issues, among them the BCS, polls, recruiting, the Heisman hype-fest and a favorite topic of ours, cheating.

He's a Hollywood actor, producer and director, but Ben Affleck will be living beneath his means in a big way.
The Oscar winner, 40, is joining Josh Groban, Debi Mazar, Sophia Bush and "The Avengers" star Tom Hiddleston and getting involved with the Live Below the Line campaign, which encourages people to live on $1.50 per day for five days, from April 29 to May 3.
"1.4 billion people live on less than $1.50/day," Affleck tweeted. "I'm joining Live #BelowTheLine on behalf of @easterncongo. Will you?"
In 2010, Affleck founded the Eastern Congo Initiative, a U.S.-based advocacy and grant-making initiative that provides economic and social development opportunities for the people of Eastern Congo.
And while Affleck has a specific reason for participating in the Live Below the Line challenge – to call attention to Eastern Congo – the organization encourages anyone who's interested to try it.
"We recommend that you spend your entire budget of $7.50 at the start of the week," reads the Live Below the Line website. "We recommend doing research and creating a shopping list, sticking to generic stables such as pasta, lentils, rice, bread, vegetables, potatoes and oats."

ST. LOUIS - Rookie Shelby Miller pitched five shutout innings and Yadier Molina had a two-run double to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-2 win over the Chicago Cubs on Monday night.
Miller (8-4), who had to wait out a rain delay of 1 hour, 59 minutes to start the game, left due to cramping in his right leg. He allowed just two hits and struck out five in the shortest start of his career. His previous shortest stint was 5 1-3 innings at Los Angeles on May 26.
Kevin Siegrist and Seth Manness followed Miller and combined for two shutout innings before Trevor Rosenthal allowed a run in the eighth on a broken bat single by Nate Schierholtz. Edward Munica gave up a homer to Darwin Barney with two outs in the ninth, but still earned his 20th save in 20 opportunities.
Molina also had a single in four at-bats to raise his average to a National League leading .355. Shane Robinson and Allen Craig added sacrifice flies for the Cardinals, who moved back to a major league best 20 games over .500 (45-25).
Chicago fell to 8-22 against the National League Central, the lowest winning percentage by any team in its own division (.266). The Cubs are 5-23 when they score three runs or less, including Travis Wood's last three starts. Wood (5-6) was again a hard-luck loser, as he gave up four runs on seven hits. He has dropped three straight games despite having a 2.70 ERA in those contests.
The Cardinals took a 2-0 lead in the fourth. Carlos Beltran and Matt Holliday started the inning with singles, and Beltran then went to third on Craig's long fly out to right. Molina then drove both Beltran and Holiday home with a double to the gap in right center.
St. Louis began the seventh the same way, with Molina and David Freese getting singles. Molina would score on a throwing error by first baseman Anthony Rizzo and Freese came home on Robinson's sacrifice fly.
Craig's sacrifice fly in the eighth gave the Cardinals a 5-1 lead.
NOTES: The Cardinals' Adam Wainwright (10-3) will try to become the Major League's first 11-game winner when he opposes Jeff Samardzija (3-7) in the second game of the series Tuesday. ... Chicago manager Dale Sveum was ejected with one out in the seventh inning after arguing with home plate umpire D.J. Reyburn over whether Molina had eluded Wood's tag. ... St. Louis is 17-7 in the first game of a series. ... Schierholtz has a nine-game hitting streak, equaling his career best.

The murder trial of Kermit Gosnell, a Philadelphia abortion provider, entered its fifth week today riding a peculiar media firestorm. The focus of much attention in recent days was not on Dr. Gosnell, who is charged in the death of seven babies and an adult patient who died of an overdose, but on a claim that the trial is getting modest coverage in the national media — allegedly because of a liberal bias.
Whether sufficient coverage has been given to the trial we would leave for others to judge. The formula for whether any one criminal trial rises to national stature has always seemed difficult to fathom or predict — even for those in the media. But in the Internet age, it doesn't strike us as especially difficult to find daily coverage of the trial — at least given that a gag order bars lawyers from discussing their efforts.
What seems far more noteworthy is to draw the conclusion that any lack of attention to the horrific case reflects a politically liberal bias. Indeed, the circumstances at Dr. Gosnell's clinic would seem to strongly support what pro-abortion rights groups have been saying for years — that abortion needs to be safe, accessible and rare and that this is currently not the case for millions of American women.
Dr. Gosnell was not running the Mayo Clinic, as his own lawyer has pointed out during opening arguments. He was providing abortions to poor minority and immigrant women. He had gotten into plenty of trouble before — some 46 lawsuits in the course of 32 years, yet Pennsylvania regulators had paid little attention to what seems like obvious malpractice. It was only after authorities noted the doctor's proclivity for writing prescription painkillers to alleged addicts and drug dealers that the FBI and DEA raided his office several years ago.
Employing untrained staff and operating under barbaric conditions, Dr. Gosnell is a poster child for what happens when the poor lack sufficient family planning services. As states pass laws that make it more difficult for legitimate abortion providers to operate, the potential for a bad operator to prosper greatly increases. As it happens, the number of free-standing clinics in Pennsylvania has fallen by about one-third in recent years.
That's not to excuse Dr. Gosnell, who operated outside the law — allegedly killing infants after they had been born alive. But it's hard to believe such an appalling practice could exist if anti-choice forces were not constantly threatening legitimate health care providers and their patients (sometimes, with violence) and access to abortion by low-income women hadn't been deliberately made so difficult (or expensive, as Medicaid doesn't cover it).
Nor, should it be noted, would such procedures even be necessary in as many cases if women had greater access to birth control and comprehensive sex education. Yet certain states continue to pile on restrictions on abortion or even access to RU 486, a cheaper, safer alternative than a late-term abortion. The latest — and most obviously unconstitutional — would give "personhood" status to an embryo from the moment of fertilization.
How can anyone be shocked that back-alley abortion operations (or their storefront equivalents) appear when more legitimate clinics are forced out of business? That's the kind of environment that existed prior to Roe v. Wade and could easily return. Illegal abortions are far more likely to be unsafe abortions.
Not enough coverage of Dr. Gosnell for the tastes of Fox News, Michelle Malkin, Breitbart.com or the others in the conservative media? That's a curious charge given that they hadn't latched onto the case until this month either. Nor had Republican members of Congress, for that matter. Perhaps it's because the trial is such a cautionary tale for those who want to deny poor women the right to decent medical care, including abortion.
And it may also reflect the desire of conservatives to see everything — what appears in the media and what doesn't — as a product of liberal bias. That obsession defines American's right-wing as much as shrinking government or reducing taxes. That the heart of the Gosnell case is medical malpractice, lax government regulation and the dearth of decent health care for the poor would appear to concern them not one whit.

Judi James brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 33 Designs von 8 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
An Awesome & Timeless Logo for Those Who Served Our Nation and are starting or already have their own business - this is their new trade association. We are looking for a logo ASAP. We will close the contest early and award an additional $50 bonus if we have a winning design by midnight on Friday, 7/2/10.
We are a non-profit trade association. We help to promote and assist veteran and military business owners. The association will provide many resources including connecting these business owners with business in both the private and government sectors, certification of the vet owned or military owned status and promote it as such. We will be the voice of these business owners. we work to pass favorable legislation, as well as offering them benefits afforded associations. We will have conferences, mentoring and classes, including webinars. Our goal is to grow this association into tens of thousands or more members and bring veteran and military business owners together in a positive and collaborative association. We want starting their own business (part of the American dream) to be a viable option for returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan who have sacrificed a great deal to serve. We want to provide them the skills and resources to be successful and happy.
Our target will be veterans and active duty military and reservists/national guard who own businesses or are beginning a new business. This includes service disabled veterans.
The name VAMBOA and logo with either Veterans and Military Business Owners Association spelled out underneath or to the right of logo. Perhaps some type of a seal (of approval) with VAMBOA around the outside of the seal and Vet Owned inside the seal. Elegant and clean is nice as well. Too much small detail could be lost if logo is smaller /reduced on business cards.
We are open to your ideas and creativity. Please go for it and we will consider every entry carefully and appreciate your efforts.
We do not like dark or black backgrounds- Think red, white, blue and gold on a white or light background.
Please no eagles - they always look too evil

We will be using this logo on everything including our web site. This logo will be the face of this organization, VAMBOA.
We will also award a $50 bonus to the winner in addition to the monies won.
For some examples, you can refer to the following websites:

text: Stratman82 8 Posted October 14, 2013 This topic kind of began in a thread I started in the podHD section yesterday discussing fully digital tone vs tube tone from the DT25 + podHD500x combination. That thread is here: http://line6.com/support/topic/3229-podhd500x-alone-sounds-better-than-my-dt25-in-full-power-mode/ I thought it was worth bringing this more philosophical part of the discussion into a separate thread. The gist of it is as below (please forgive the gaming analogy but it seems appropriate): "Philosophically, I've stopped playing computer games as I feel the time invested in acquisition of guitar skill is much better spent. It's cross transferable and will last forever. Skill on a computer game is often only useful until you start playing a new game or the next console comes out. I'm starting to think that the "dream rig" is similar to computer games. I'm spending hours tweaking and getting to know it and ultimately for what? The technology is sure to be updated in the near future and that time in "skill acquisition" will probably be wasted, particularly if I move away from Line 6. At least time spent getting to know traditional tube amp is transferable to similar analogue units...and that will always be the case as classic amps will never go out of fashion." When I talk about the dream rig I mean podHD + DT amp minus Variax guitar as I've stayed clear of them so far. Basically, what I'm finding with this rig is that it can be quite glitchy in terms of volume and patch settings, particularly when moving from a "full" patch to a "pre" patch in full power mode with tubes engaged. I've spent obscene amounts of time tweaking and setting up the modelling software parameters. Its was a kick in the teeth when I did this for home/ low volume use and then found a whole new set of patches would be required in full power mode, essentially equivalent to a seperate and loosely related rig. I've even attempted at one point to simplify the situation by setting up one set of patches in pre amp mode with a power attenuator and thhe DT25 always in full power mode (in theory allowing the only "tweak" to be reduced attenuation via the THD hotplate as I move from home to stage). The result? Still too loud for home use at levels of attenuation that maintain the amps tone quality.At -12db attenuation and beyond I may as well be using a Spider amp or similar small modelling combo. The idea that there would be a seamless transition from home to studio to jam session to live tone with this rig (my perception in the beginning) has gone right out of the window. I am faced with layers and layers of complexity in each situation. The result? Less time actually playing and enjoying my guitars. More time acheiving a stiff neck stooping forward over my laptop tweaking software parameters. And as per my quote above....what am I gaining in terms of skill aquisition? The ability to tweak software which will be dated in a couple of years. As per my thread above, there doesnt even seem to be any great advantage in tone. I'm starting to hanker after a situation where I can sit, laptop switched off, playing guitar at home with a quality low wattage tube amp. Clean to crunch to high gain with the sweep of an analogue knob on the amps control panel. Volume adjusted within the remit of the amp (+/- in built power atenuation as the DT25 should have had). Gaining lasting, transferable skill with an analogue tube amp that won't ever be technologically "out of date" or go out of fashion....will last a lifetime. And actually concentrating on playing the guitar.... As I say in that previous thread, I fear the DT25 will ultimately be seen as an early prototype amp in terms of a tube amp/ digital interface that works in every situation. The versatility and accuracy of the patch system is the big selling point here....but that veratility just isn't there when taking the amp from one situation to the next. The investment of time and aquisition of tecnological knowledge that will soon be outdated detracts from enjoying my instruments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leaving intact a ruling that provides unprecedented legal protections for gays and lesbians, a federal appeals court on Tuesday refused to reconsider a case that found it unconstitutional to exclude jurors from civil trials based on their sexual orientation.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a brief order, voted against rehearing the January ruling with a new 11-judge panel. Three of the court's most conservative judges dissented, calling the ruling "regrettable" and saying it could have sweeping implications for a range of legal issues involving gays and lesbians, including same-sex marriage cases that continue to unfold in the Western states encompassed by the 9th Circuit.
A unanimous three-judge 9th Circuit panel found earlier this year that sexual orientation deserves the strongest anti-discrimination protections in civil rights law, extending the same rights to gays and lesbians that are in place for women and minorities. The decision relied heavily on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision last year striking down the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which had denied federal benefits to same-sex couples.
The 9th Circuit case involves a high-stakes antitrust showdown between Abbott Laboratories and SmithKline Beecham that went to trial in Oakland federal court in 2011. In appealing the case, SmithKline argued that Abbott lawyers during jury selection deliberately removed a juror who was gay because the trial involved a claim that Abbott dramatically jacked up the price of a crucial HIV treatment drug.
Abbvie, a spinoff of Abbott, decided against asking the 9th Circuit to rehear the January ruling, which ordered a new trial because of the finding jury selection was tainted by potential gay bias. But a member of the court exercised the right to ask for an internal vote on whether to rehear the case. A majority of the court's 29 full-time judges is needed to approve such a move, and that vote fell short, according to Tuesday's order.
With Abbott declining to appeal, the chances of the U.S. Supreme Court taking up the issue appear unlikely, although the three dissenters gave the high court legal fodder. Gay marriage foes defending same-sex marriage bans in other states within the 9th Circuit, such as Idaho and Oregon, also could raise the issue because of their concerns the legal standard in the SmithKline case has extended to their court battles.

Source: Minnesota Vikings Quarterback Matt Cassel Voiding His Contract
A source tells KSTP that Minnesota Vikings quarterback Matt Cassel has decided to void his contract for the upcoming NFL season, flexing an option that was written into the deal that he signed when joining the Vikings before the 2013 season.
An official decision doesn't have to be announced until Friday, however if he does opt-out, he will become an unrestricted free agent. This will leave Cassel free to look to other teams for a deal, but this doesn't rule out his return to Minnesota next season. If Cassel does explore free agency, the Vikings are open to explore a new deal with the veteran quarterback.
If Cassel does indeed hit the free agency market, he may be doing this for one of two reasons. The first of those reasons is to look for a more promising and longer-term starting role with another team. It is no secret that the Vikings are exploring options for a quarterback in this year's NFL Draft, and Cassel is largely regarded as a stop-gap solution that would likely serve as a starter for at most the duration of the 2014 season.
The other reason Cassel may be looking to hit free agency is to assess his value and look for a better contract with Minnesota than the $3.7 million he was due for the 2014 season. At 31 years old, Cassel has something left in the tank, but faces competition from some other familiar names. He will be in a quarterback market that will also feature names like Mike Vick (who is currently at the end of his deal with the Eagles) and Josh McCown, who performed incredibly in place of the injured Jay Cutler this season for the Bears.
Bleacher Report has Cassel ranked number 7 overall in the list of free agent quarterbacks this season, falling behind Vick, McCown, and even his 2013 teammate Josh Freeman. Freeman is also at the end of his one-year deal with the Vikings this offseason, and his return to the team is doubtful after a dismal performance in his Vikings debut on Monday Night Football against the New York Giants.
