Fun for little breaks
I don't dig roguelikes that much but I'm tempted to try out TOME. It's a Roguelike with sort of 2d graphics which is interesting.I wish I could get into DF or DOA but I just can't. Mans got to know his limitations (as a gamer.)
Adom. Get it, play it, quest for roguelikes complete
I know DF is Dwarf Fortress, but what is DOA?
EDIT: OMG! FTL is so much fun. I just one a battle with a ship only to have my whole party die of asphyxiation just because I couldn't get the O2 generator repaired in time. @u@ So much fun!
And this is what it means to play a roguelike.You get your ass kicked like the fist of an angry deity and it's like, GIVE ME MORE SUFFERING.Unrelated note, Dungeons of Dredmore is a pretty fun intro-roguelike, but it does cost money.
The original Rogue (with the Amulet of Yendor) is out there as freeware.
The original Rogue was not terribly serious. The whole thing was done in the 'extended character' graphics set, with the monsters represented by letters of the alphabet (from 'Aquataurs' that could rust your armor, to 'Zombies'). Scrolls were music notes as I remember, and potions were an inverted 'fat' exclamation point. Gold was an asterisk. You had two ways of identifying things: using the item, or finding an identify scroll (which you naturally had to identify.)

Dana and Ray Brandon
Ray's Take In decades past you built a relationship with your bank and, more importantly, your banker. After so many mergers, that's become harder to do. Generation low interest rates have banks piling up fees on their customers as well as limiting services It might be worthwhile to at least consider options other than the neighborhood brick-and-mortar bank.
One option is credit unions. At credit unions the customers are the owners. These nonprofit institutions have no shareholders or outside owners expecting a return on their investment. This means credit unions sometimes pay higher interest rates on savings and charge lower interest rates on loans. In addition, they often have fewer and lower fees for services.
One limiting factor is you must find a credit union to accept you as a member/owner. They often limit services to certain employee groups or to people residing in specific areas. However, don't be discouraged. Sometimes relatives or even friends of existing members can be included as members. A quick online search would let you know if any credit unions in your area are right for you.
When evaluating credit unions, be sure they have the range of services you want, ATM availability, and are NCUA insured (the credit union equivalent of the FDIC). If you have a child away at school you need to "help" from time to time, a regional or national bank with lots of branches might come in handy.
You might also consider online banking as a way to reduce banking fees. Institutions like Capital One 360 can offer fee savings and better interest rates because their automated services help reduce overhead. They also offer advanced technologies for easy and immediate online bill paying.
In fairness to the banks, they didn't cause the historic low rates. But if you've grown increasingly disenchanted with the costs and relative services of traditional banking, in addition to the revolving door of owners, officers and tellers, it might be time to investigate the alternatives.
Dana's Take Ray and I were recently lamenting the loss of interest income from our money market account. We used to earn a pretty penny on that account and now it's closer to a penny. The same goes for savings accounts.
It could take a couple of years of economic recovery before that type of interest income returns. In the meantime, consumers are particularly vulnerable to scams – especially seniors who counted on interest income from CDs.
So when you're considering alternatives to traditional banks, do your homework. Make sure that deposits are insured by the federal government and find out what the limits are. In an effort to earn a few more percentage points, don't risk your nest egg.

Which probability measures on $\mathbf{\mathcal{C}[0,1]}$ are known? (Here $\mathcal{C}[0,1]$ is the space of continuous real-valued functions defined on the unit interval.)
I'm pretty sure the Wiener measure (or maybe it's "a" Wiener measure) is one such measure whose random elements are Brownian motion paths (or something like that, please correct me if this, or anything else I've said, is incorrect). Where can I read about the Wiener measure as a measure (instead of just a process with an implicit measure; I want explicit analysis of the measure)? Planet math has a little bit about this, but I'd like more detail.
To answer my "where can I read..." question, feel free to just give an explanation yourself, if you're so inclined.
Edit. At the behest of Nate (see the comments) I'll try to be more explicit. In Cantor space, $\{0,1\}^{\mathbb{N}}$, the uniform (i.e. Lebesgue) measure is the most natural. Is there a most natural measure in $\mathbf{\mathcal{C}[0,1]}$? After that, the Bernoulli measures are most natural measures on Cantor space. So I'd like some examples of "natural" measures on $\mathcal{C}[0,1]$. As Nate said in his comment, the space of measures is the same as the space of continuous processes. Since I'm not so "process-inclined", I'd prefer answers and references to be in the language of measures rather than processes. However, if there's a process that is very natural (or at least important), but who's corresponding measure is harder to work with and therefore unavailable in the literature, a reference to or description of that process will still be appreciated.
Nate's comment also led to this question, an answer to which might render void my request for answers to be in the language of measures:
What exactly is the correspondence between measures and continuous stochastic processes?

SustainX blows open funding round to add $5.6M
Mass High Tech
May 4, 2011
SustainX Inc., an energy storage technology company based in West Lebanon, N.H., has bumped its recent funding round up by an additional $5.6 million and added new backer General Catalyst Partners to the investor mix, the company reported in a release.
This new funding amount boosts the recent funding announced in March to $20 million. According to the release from SustainX, the new money will be used to further develop the company's compressed air energy storage technology. The original $14.4 million funding amount in this round came from GE Energy Financial Services, a unit of GE (NYSE: GE) and other investors. Other backers include Rockport Capital, Polaris Venture Partners, Cadent Energy Partners and General Catalyst Partners. ...
SustainX, which was founded in 2007 by engineers at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College, compresses air for energy storage by using electricity to drive pistons inside cylinders. The high-pressure air is stored in above-ground vessels. To release energy when needed, the system uses stored air to drive the same pistons, which in turn drive a generator.

As an avid photographer for many years, my tendency is to choose subjects with potential rather than things that look good to begin with and therein lies my challenge. I often look for an odd angle or composition and like most photographers, have become a keen observer. Seeking the unusual and putting a different slant on the very usual are important concepts to me. My philosophy is - photograph for oneself, be observant and strive for originality but most of all have fun. If someone likes what I produce, that's a bonus.

Objectives - Why this project and for whom?
EU-MIDIS provideed the first primary survey data collected from selected ethnic minority and immigrant persons resident in the EU Member States. This survey data will support policy-makers and other key stakeholders in developing evidence-based and targeted policies that address discriminatory, racist practices, and improve support structures for victims of discrimination and racist crime.
Details - What did the project involve?
23,500 immigrant and ethnic minority people were interviewed face-to-face in all 27 EU Member States during 2008.
In addition 5,000 people from the majority population living in the same areas as minorities were interviewed face to face in 10 Member States to allow for comparison of results concerning certain key questions.
Groups of respondents were selected for interview in each Member State on the basis of:
- Information supplied to the FRA by its Racism and Xenophobia Network (RAXEN) of 27 National Focal Points (NFPs), which provide the Agency with detailed national annual reports on different minorities' vulnerability to discrimination and victimisation in each Member State;
- Identification of the largest minority group or groups in each country, which had to reach a minimum overall size of 5% to be sufficient for random sampling in specific areas;
- Availability to be surveyed in more than one Member State, which allowed for the creation of 'aggregate' groups - such as 'North Africans' - for comparison of results between countries.
The results of this survey are representative for the groups surveyed in the areas where the research was undertaken.
Innovation - What's 'new' about the project?
EU-MIDIS provided the most extensive data set to date on discrimination and victimisation faced by ethnic minorities and immigrants in the EU. The survey is the first of its kind to systematically survey minority groups across the EU through face-to-face interviews using the same standard questionnaire.
Outputs - What did the project deliver?
- An 'EU-MIDIS at a glance' report - introducing the survey and certain key findings
- A full technical report - presenting an overview of how the research was conducted
- A series of 'Data in Focus' reports - reporting on selected themes to emerge from the research
- The research dataset allowing for further analysis of the results by interested parties
- A full results report - presenting detailed findings from the research (December 2009)
For more information about the EU-MIDIS survey and for the full list of EU-MIDIS reports, please see the Surveys and Publications tabs at the top of this page.
Related Information
While the composition of Member States' populations is becoming increasingly diverse, the FRA reports have consistently shown that there is a severe lack of data on minorities in many countries. This continued lack of (comparable) data makes it difficult for policy-makers at national and EU level to develop and target interventions to combat discrimination and victimisation against minorities. The FRA has therefore conducted this major representative survey, examining experiences of discriminatory treatment, racist crime, victimisation, awareness of rights, and reporting of complaints.

Most of the trade shows that Joan and I attend are where we are in our own booth serving samples so that people can have an opportunity to try our great, artisan chocolate. This week I am attending the PMCA's (Pennsylvania Manufacturing Confectioners' Association) 63rd Annual Conference in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The conference is being held at the Hershey Lodge—just across the street from the factory famed as the home of American chocolate. Yes, this is the place that Milton Hershey planned, financed and built, so it is definitely a place befitting of hosting a conference on, what else, CHOCOLATE.
There is a great roster of speakers covering everything from the health benefits of cocoa to the basic, as well as break-through, chemistry in making chocolate. I tasted cocoa and chocolate in all the basic forms. I sampled raw cacao beans right out of the pod. I had bites of chocolate that included raw, under-fermented, over-fermented, heavy roast, light roast, and even chocolate where the beans had gotten moldy. Yuck! So much for my usual comment that chocolate is like sex… never bad, just some of it IS better than others.
I also tasted some really great chocolate. These perfect specimens were made from Criollo, Forastero, Trinitario and, my favorite, the raw, but delicious Porcelana. I've known for a long time what I like, but it was a great validation of the efforts of all the people who work for Choclatique that we have gotten it right with the species and treatment of the beans that we buy.
Some of the best news of the conference however, was delivered by several rather savvy doctors, including Dr. Amy Griel, Dr. Catherine Kwik-Uribe and Dr. Thomas Parady, who spoke on the health aspects of cocoa butter and fats, flavanols and cardiovascular health, and soluble fibers, respectively. So here are some of the "tasty" highlights of what I heard:
- There are alkaloids in chocolate, so you can replace your morning cup of coffee with a hot steaming cup of chocolate… Choclatique Drinking Chocolate, I hope.
- The Flavonoids (or Procyonis) found in chocolate are similar to what you find in healthful portions of wine, grapes, green tea and apples. I guess that means that a piece of chocolate a day keeps the doctor away!
The new studies (of 34,000 participants) proved that chocolate has the ability to solve or ease numerous heath issues:
- Stomach irritation
- Angina
- Fatigue
- Energy (lack of)
- Inflammation
- Longevity
- Blood pressure related problem
In short, chocolate has more health benefits that even a glass of red wine.
Another study was done on the island of Kuna (off the coast of Panama) where the islanders do not suffer from any aging diseases—hyper-tension, high cholesterol, even baldness. These native Kunaians have a diet very rich in cocoa. Their culture teaches all to, "Use cocoa every day—from before you were born (pre-natal I suppose) until the day you die and you shall live a long and healthful life." They eat about 900mg of cocoa a day, but the studies show that just a simple inclusion of 6.4g of good, low sugar-content chocolate per day will do the same job. That's just two Q-91 wafers per day! I know that's a shameless plug for our 91% high in cacao mass chocolate, but something has to pay the bills.
Actually, a diet rich in chocolate and nuts (almonds, walnuts and peanuts) is a positive addition to your diet. So remember what mom always used to say, "Everything in moderation." These studies are evidence that a diet with a moderate amount of chocolate, nuts, fresh fruits and red wine, that is low in trans-fats and saturated-fats and a moderate exercise can reverse the negative effects of aging. Hey, don't tell anyone, but you just discovered the chocolate fountain of youth.
Special note: Much of the chocolate research to date has been funded by chocolate companies like Nestle, Hershey's and Mars. These triple-blind studies are always supervised by major universities whose results are independently published.

Maybelle Carter may have been the best-known and best-loved mother in all of country music.
By: Linnea Crowther
7 years ago
Maybelle Carter (1909 - 1978) may have been the best-known and best-loved mother in all of country music. For the matriarch of the Carter Family, motherhood was such a crucial part of her identity that she was known as Mother Maybelle. And indeed, she helped found a country music dynasty—daughters June, Helen, and Anita, and son-in-law Johnny Cash—that's still revered among the very greatest of the Grand Ole Opry.
Maybelle Carter was, of course, more than just the mother of country music superstars. She had a formidable talent of her own, which she passed down to her children. Today, we take a look at some classic clips and marvel at Maybelle Carter's skill as a guitarist and autoharpist.
"Keep on the Sunny Side" with the Carter Sisters. Here, you can see her unique style of guitar playing—known as "scratch picking" or "Carter Family picking"—she plays the melody with her thumb and uses her index finger to play the rhythm.
"Black Mountain Rag" live on the Johnny Cash Show. Maybelle Carter was an artist with the autoharp, a favorite instrument of folk and bluegrass acts.
And a great classic, the Carter Family playing "Wildwood Flower."

Living the Lifestyle:
a matter of promise
'Fake any group of 2000 people, and it can be assumed
that they come from different backgrounds with different
expectations and different goals. A wide variety of lifestyles
can also be assumed.
As part of the Bethel community, however, we now live
under the guidelines of the Bethel Lifestyle Statement. In the
process of admission to Bethel we sign an agreement of
willingness to live by the statement. Based on broad
Biblical principles, the statement sets forth behavioral
expectations for all members of Bethel.
Many of us find the Lifestyle Statement restrictive. There
is disagreement with the limitations placed on our behavior.
The arguments for and against go on and on.
But the arguments are irrelevant. In voluntarily coming to
Bethel we agreed to become part of the Bethel community.
Having come to Bethel we have agreed to Bethel's lifestyle.
It is no longer a matter of whether a certain behavior is
right or wrong for us, but a matter of honoring our
agreement and being honest with Bethel in our agreement to
live by Bethel's Lifestyle Statement.
"These behavioral expectations are intended for our life
together at Bethel, not as norms for all Christians
everywhere," says the statement.

Welcome back. To exclude any chance of committing a ma-jor
social faux pax, I'm opening this column with the most fam-iliar
opening week greetings. Ahhh, come here and give me a
hug, it's so good to see you. How was your summer? Where did
you work? Where are you living this semester? What classes
do you have? Do you have the same major as last year? How's
the family? Are you a transfer student? What's your name
again? Look, there's a freshman! What's your name again?
Look, there's a freshman! YOU'RE WHAT?!?!!? ENGAGED"
Now that I've finished with the formalities, let's get down to
the good stuff.'
In another week, classes will have been in full swing for
about t wo weeks and we'll all find ourselves about four weeks
behind. The bombardment of papers and overnight assign-ments
are already beginning to haunt us. Therefore, I have de-cided
to do something a little unusual with the column this
week. So just kick back, relax and enjoy the puzzle. The rules
for a word search puzzle are very simple. The word can be
found horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Now, the rest is
up to you. Find the WORD.
If you have any trouble finding the word, put 25e and
youis PO number in PO 1607 and I'll be sure to get the
solution to you.
Now rate yourself on how long it took you to finish the

V-ball women
beg in season
with optimism
by Rich Whybrew
The outlook for the Bethel
women's volleyball team this
season is "cautiously optimis-tic,"
in the words of coach
Cindy Book. "Everyone
around the state and confer-ence
is getting better and bet-ter
as we improve, so it's hard
to say how we'll do this year,"
she added.
Book said that the members
of the squad have played a lot
of volleyball since last season
and they appear to be in good
shape. "We should be toughest
in our hitting (spiking) game,
and we've been working hard
on defense," said Book.
The team's first meet is a
two-day tournament at Be-midji
Sept. 10-11. Nine teams
will be in the meet including
Macalester and St. Cather-ine's,
who finished first and
second respectively in state
and region competition last
Members of the squad in-clude
seniors Gracia Dahlgren
(co-capt.), Cheryl Madson (co-capt.),
and Betsy Koonce. The
team's contingent of juniors
consists of Pat Jones, Pam
Madson, Shelley Sorensen,
Anne Woodson, Sara Harms
and Connie Masters. Maryan
Presler, Linda Busse and
Laura Schold are sophomore
players, and freshmen Katy
Rott, Julia Albinson, Cheryl
Moore, Beth Harmelink,

Heidi Hunter, Sandi Fleener,

The Royal cross country
squads open their season this
weekend. The men begin with
a triangular meet between
Southwest State, Gustavus,
and Bethel, at Southwest. The
women start with a time trial
over the Bethel course with
Hemline, Macalester, North-western,
St. Olaf, and Carle-ton
Six veterans return on the
men's team, including Rich
Whybrew, Tom Plocker, Greg
Stevens, John Skelly, Jeff Ve-lasco,
and Rob Lundquist.
They will join forces with 9 - 10
experienced freshmen and
transfers. Coach Steve Whit-by

The Bethel soccer team has
a tough act to follow this sea-son
as they prepare to defend
their conference and district
championship titles. The Roy-als,
however, maintain a one-game-
at-a time philosophy.
This was summed up by
Coach Mark Leigh: "We try to
play one game at a time; if
by John Clark
After an afternoon of foot-ball
and a night of watching
game films, Bethel football
coach Dud Lutton was able to
reach some positive conclu-sions
about his 1982 Royal
This year's team is much
improved over the previous
year as witnessed by the var-sity's
17-3 triumph over the
Bethel alumni team on Sept. 5.
_taker commented "We're not
as young as last year. As a
team we've put in a lot of sum-mer
miles and we're more ex-perienced
and mature." The
new team has good depth, and
in any race 4 or 5 men have po-tential
to be first man.
The men opened their sea-son
with a short training camp
at Ham Lake Baptist Camp.
Coach Whittaker feels that the
team is off to a good start.
"We're all healthy and have
good attitudes to start the sea-son,"
he stated.
The women's team once
again faces a numbers shor-tage.
,Returning sophomore
Leah Schirm and senior
we're better than the other
team, we have to prove it
every game."
The Royals began practic-ing
in August with five-hour
workouts. During this period,
scrimmages—both intersquad
and against other teams
gave the players valuable prac-tice
in Competitive situations
and _allowed the coaches a
chance to make decisions on
Lutton was quick to add
that his team was by no means
perfect in its first outing
of the season and "a lot of
ragged edges" still need to be
smoothed out.
"We looked much improved
over last year," said a weary
Lutton who had been up much
of the night with his coaches
reviewing the game films. "We
did some things at times that
looked good."
One thing that looked good
Wendy Norberg will be joined
by two transfers, Debbie Her-nandez
and Linda Channer.
This potentially strong squad
would need a fifth member in
order to accumulate a team
score in meets. Coach Bill Lau
expressed disappointment
that more Bethel women are
not interested in competing.
Ali four of the women have
potential to be faster than last
year's second runner, so Lau
has high expectations for the
coming season. The time trial
begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday,
Sept. 11, next to the tennis
courts ; and the team would
appreciate student and faculty
the line-up. Pre-season high-lights
included a good show-ing
in a scrimmage against
the University of Minnesota
and a trip to Seattle to play in
the Far West Classic.
According to Leigh, overall
strength and talent will be
the strong point of the team.
Leigh attributes a large part
of this to his excellent assist-ant
coaches: Andy Larson,
all of the time was the play of
running back Satch Shaheed,
who scored both of the Royal
- touchdowns and gained 84
yards on 15 carries. Shaheed
scored in the second quarter to
put the varsity up 7- 0 and
sailed over the top from the
one-yard line in the fourth
quarter when the Royals took
command of the contest.
Another consistent combin-ation
for Bethel was quarter-back
Steve Tintpn and P n d iCpn
KABY, from page 1
cast haven't been decided yet,
according to Rohler, the focus
will be on the Bethel com-munity,
using the talents and
distinctive flavor Bethel has
to offer.
"All positions for campus
radio are volunteer," said Roh-ler.
He anticipates a staff of
about 40 students will be need-ed
to operate KABY. The posi-tions
include newspeople, disc
jockeys, programming and
business managers, and pub-licity
Tuesday, Sept. 12, an in-formational
meeting will be
held in LR301 to acquaint
students with the opportuni-ties
available for working on
Jon Fast and Brian Bohne.
The Royals appear ready
to make a strong bid to defend
their title. Regardless of their
success on the scoreboard,
however, they will be win-ners
in the areas of attitude
and Christian commitment.
As Coach Leigh put it, "We
try to incorporate athletics
and Christianity... to grow as
Christian people."
Cooper. Doten hit on 14 of his
30 pass attempts for 187 yards
while Cooper was on the re-ceiving
end of eight Doten aer-ials
for 119 yards. Also mixing
well with Doten was Sha-
- heed's backfield partner
Mike Fregeau, who made a
pair of nifty catches that net-ted
38 yards.
The play of Shaheed, Doten,
Cooper and Fregeau was eas-ily
visible, but it was the play
of the offensive line that
pleased Lutton. Lutton felt
that the inexperienced line,
comprised of freshmen and
sophomores, played well and
is an area where the Royals
will "steadily improve."
On the defensive side of the
field the unit that held the
alumni back was one that
bended but was never broken.
That was partly due to fresh-man
cornerback Steve
Sheedlo, who killed alumni
drives with three pass inter-ceptions,
and captain Jim Mil-ler,
who also intercepted a
Lutton pointed to the play of
his linebacking corp of Steve
Ries, Dan Nold, Jay O'Brien
and Cam Muir as another
group that played well. The
foursome also played together
last season.
Although the alumni went
down to defeat, they did have
their brief moments of glory as
they consistently moved the
ball only to have a drive end
by a turnover or a loss of mo-mentum.
The alumni even
outgained the varsity, piling
up 327 yards total offense to
302 for the varsity.
Besides Paul Lindberg's 34-
yard field goal, Fr'ank Sanza
hauled in four passes for 61
yards and Dave Kadlec rushes
for 41 yards, including a 22-
yard burst early in the game.
As for the upcoming confer-ence
season, Lutton was un-sure
of what the preseason
game meant for the Royals in
terms of a win-loss record.
"We don't know how good
we'll he," he said. "but we
know we are a better football
team than last year. We don't
know what kind of a record
that will mean."

We are a collaborative of individual artists across many disciplines including literature, music, audio/sound engineering, film, visual art and theater. We are dedicated educators in varying capacities as well as bloggers, journalists, social scientist, media makers and community organizers. Urban Verbs is an alternative interpretation to the brainless, heartless, materialist, violent, sexist, homophobic, self-involved popular perception of Hip-Hop. Our Mission is to create a progressive narrative around Hip Hop culture and facilitate the practice of EVERYONE telling their story through Hip Hop as a form of love, a form of intelligence and a way of better living. To increase the respect and acceptance of Hip Hop as a legitimate and visionary art form and worthy of academic inquiry, to be an example of how one can feed their family and live their dream through Hip -Hop that builds rather than Hip-Hop that destroys - To fashion Hip Hop into the tools that bring people together, stops wars, makes babies and raises them!

Yesterday we brought you the news that Washington Redskins OT Trent Williams has fully bought in to his "Silverback" nickname, decorating his basement with all sorts of gorilla art. We had a picture of one painting, a gorilla wearing Williams's 71 jersey. Now we've got the rest of the set, thanks to tipster and commenter WhoDoYouKnowHere.
This painting is a reversal of the one we saw yesterday. This one has Trent Williams, in human form, preparing to block a gorilla that somebody allowed to play football. The gorilla was not given pads or a uniform, but it does appear to be on bath salts.
Also from Williams's basement: a custom pool table, emblazoned with yet another football gorilla. This man is committed to his spirit animal. Players lining up opposite Williams should be aware of poo-flinging.

I received a notice from my employer earlier this month, announcing changes to our health care plan. Under the topic "Health Care Reform Mandates Changes," the first four items read:
o Pre-existing condition limitations are not imposed for children up to the age of 19.
o Adult children can be covered as dependents of employees up to the age of 26, regardless of student or marital status, so long as the adult child is not eligible for coverage under their own employer.
o There is an unlimited lifetime maximum on plan benefits.
o There is no annual limit on essential health benefits, which includes such things as Durable
Medical Equipment, Mental Health Services, and Urgent Care Services.
With typical bureaucratic understatement, the notice heralded transformative positive changes for millions of workers, students, and families that will save lives, prevent financial catastrophes, enable educational achievement, and reduce our budget deficit. And the notice, of course, responded to just the first wave of significant improvements that health care reform will bring to everyday Americans and the nation as a whole in the coming years.
Which raises some questions. First, what part of these giant steps forward is so pernicious or threatening that the House of Representatives saw fit to vote for their repeal? I haven't heard a factual answer to that question from opponents of health care reform, but, rather, just a string of inflammatory slogans claiming a "job killing government takeover of health care." (Somehow this was left out of the employer notice that I received).
Second, given that millions of Americans are receiving notices like this one, why aren't the political leaders who enacted these historic reforms telling their story more effectively? True, President Obama declared in his State of the Union speech this week that, "what I'm not willing to do is go back to the days when insurance companies could deny someone coverage because of a preexisting condition." But a line in an hour-long speech is far from the compelling narrative and coordinated echo chamber that the other side has mounted, and that health care reformers could easily pursue.
Where is the series of campus events in key news markets highlighting the stories of students, many with serious-but-treatable illnesses, who can now receive affordable, quality care without bankrupting their families or ending their educational progress? Where are the stories of kids who can't be rejected for coverage because of preexisting illnesses? There are a few, but hardly of the scale or coordination that's warranted and achievable.
To be sure, the President's communications should overwhelmingly emphasize jobs, jobs, employment and jobs for the foreseeable future. But simply checking the box and moving on after a difficult, hugely beneficial accomplishment without both showing and telling its benefits to individuals, families, and the country opens the door to distortion, confusion, and misinformed backlash—all of which we've seen regarding health care over the last year. Declining to take a victory lap may be an admirable personal quality. But failing to effectively explain why a historic accomplishment benefits our nation and everyone in it leaves that accomplishment vulnerable, and limits the possibilities for future change.

The importance, role and functionality of data centers will change over the next five years, leaving many organizations unclear on how to plan their future data center architectures, according to Gartner, Inc. Gartner said technical, fiscal and service delivery concerns will be critical and organizations should plan around eight forces to shape their best data center strategies.
"Over the next five to 10 years most organizations will need to change their approach to previous data center strategies used in the last five to seven years, as most of the world comes out of recession and the nexus of forces (social, mobile, cloud and information) affects technology use, said Rakesh Kumar, research vice president at Gartner. "Historically, data centers have been viewed solely as service delivery centers in which cost and risk must be balanced. Agility, a critical third variable, will become increasingly important in future."
Agility is the speed at which the IT organization responds to business needs such as greater use of mobile and social information to market products, or contactless payment systems. The ability of the IT organization to respond quickly to these changes will be a reflection of its agility.
Gartner has identified eight areas to consider when developing a data center strategy that balances cost, risk and agility.

Vaginal stenosis after radiation to the rectal/lower abdomen area
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Can you tell me please if it is unusual for radiation to the rectal/lower abdomen area to cause vaginal stenosis?
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
Most women getting radiation to the pelvis develop vaginal drying as a side effect of the radiation treatment. This problem is common and managed by the radiation oncologist. It can potentially lead to vaginal stenosis in some patients (stricture of the vagina). At the end of radiation to the pelvic area, woman are typically given a vaginal dilator that is inserted into the vagina for a few minutes daily to separate the tissue surfaces. This is done to prevent scarring that can contribute to vaginal stenosis. This may be done indefinitely. Also, in younger women (under 50) we usually recommend hormonal replacement, except in endometrial cancer or breast cancer patients and this will reduce the severity of the problem. A woman who is sexually active and has intercourse at least 3 times/week can usually avoid using the dilator.

Compassion fatigue in nurses, doctors and other front line cancer-care providers significantly impacts how they interact with patients, with patient families, with other healthcare workers, and with their own family, according to analysis by Indiana University School of Medicine and Regenstrief Institute researchers published in the March issue of the Journal of Health Psychology.
"The healthcare field is becoming more aware of the profound emotional disturbances that occur in healthcare providers when they witness the suffering and pain of their patients in the face of an incurable disease, such as cancer. Healthcare providers are often partners in this journey, and the understanding of the effects of caring for the terminally ill on the caregiver is limited," the researchers wrote. They reviewed 57 studies to identify the prevalence of compassion fatigue among cancer-care providers, how to detect it and means of prevention and treatment.
"Individuals who are drawn into healthcare careers may be more likely to develop compassion fatigue, based on their drive for perfection and to do their best for their patients. If you work in an environment where despite your very best efforts patients for whom you provide care will not survive, there is a set up for developing a sense of 'there is nothing I can do anymore,'" says the study's principal investigator Caroline Carney Doebbeling, M.D., associate professor of medicine and of psychiatry at the IU School of Medicine and a Regenstrief Institute research scientist.
The term compassion fatigue was first coined in the 1990s to describe a syndrome experienced by a healthcare provider caring for individuals facing dire consequences as a result of their disease. Going beyond empathy or "feeling bad" for the person, it effects the nurse, doctor or other member of the healthcare team in a way that he or she often develops a distance from the patient as a way of self-protection.
Symptoms of compassion fatigue include chronic tiredness and irritability, lack of joy in life, engagement in behaviors which are fine in moderation, such as drinking, at a destructive level. Like individuals who have post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), those with compassion fatigue often re-experience the deaths of their patients, according to Dr. Carney Doebbeling.
Compassion fatigue can lead individuals to protect or insulate themselves by loss of compassion, cynicism, boredom, decreased productivity, more sick days and ultimately higher turnover.
"How do you deal with compassion fatigue if you see patients every single day?" asks Dr. Carney Doebbeling. "In order to provide the best care to patients, the system, beginning with training in nursing and medical schools and residency, has to do a better job of helping those who go into cancer care learn what to expect and how to deal with it. On the job we need to create supportive work environments where supervisors and colleagues are aware that those who care for the sickest of the sick may be vulnerable to the triggers that could bring about compassion fatigue."
While compassion fatigue has not been labeled a psychiatric disorder, it can lead to depression and anxiety disorders, according to Dr. Carney Doebbeling, a member of the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center, who is an internist and a psychiatrist as well as a health services researcher.
"We are taught in medicine to be brave and to be strong, but there should also be a time and place for emotional expression, and perhaps even for crying. Doctors, nurses and other members of the healthcare team must be steady sources of support for patient. But when the patient encounter is over, at the end of the day, the doctor or nurse or social worker or clerk needs to be able to process everything they have seen and experienced. We need to support people who work with the sickest of the sick," she said.

2 Tickets Strike Gold In Powerball Lottery
CHICAGO (AP) — The richest Powerball jackpot ever — and the second-largest top prize in U.S. lottery history — has been won. The question now becomes: Who are the lucky winners waking up to new lives as multimillionaires?
Powerball officials said early Thursday that tickets sold in Arizona and Missouri matched all six numbers to win the record $579.9 million jackpot.
The numbers drawn Wednesday night are: 5, 16, 22, 23, 29 and Powerball of 6.
It was not clear whether the winning tickets belonged to individuals or groups. Arizona lottery officials said early Thursday morning they had no information on that state's winner or winners but would announce where it was sold during a news conference later in the day. Lottery officials in Missouri did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.

The Web's Inventor Regrets One Small Thing
I'm not so sure about the saving paper or ink, but it would have saved me oh, I dunno, a couple of hours spent saying "colon slash slash" and explaining what it meant back in the early days of the Intertubes. On the other hand, it's a great way to immediately tell if someone isn't net-savvy when he tells you his email address is 'http://firstname.lastname@example.com' or something similar. I also never understood why the more easily pronounceable 'web' wasn't adopted instead of 'www', although there is a movement to deprecate 'www' now.

When a single person is able to use the Act 250 process to delay a project for up to two years for reasons that have been dismissed by all others, the state needs to amend the law.
The instance at hand is with the proposed Eastview housing project — a 101-unit retirement community to be built on 30 acres south of Porter Medical Center campus off South Street in Middlebury. Opposed is South Street Extension resident Miriam Roemischer. She has been the proverbial thorn-in-the-side of those who have pushed the project forward. That's a shame.
While other community members, including many along South Street, raised initial concerns about the project — including the fact that traffic would increase and they wanted to be sure traffic-calming measures were in place — their concerns apparently have been satisfied and the public good of the project (not to mention the appropriate zoning) has outweighed their own personal preferences for a quieter street.
All, that is, but Miriam Roemischer, who has hired a lawyer and filed an appeal of the permit that has already been approved by town zoning and by the District 9 Commission. The appeal allegedly challenges the approved permit on seven Act 250 criteria relating to air pollution, waste disposal, traffic congestion, scenic beauty, agricultural soils, conformance with municipal plan and the impact of growth on the surrounding community. (See story on Page 3.)
The crime of Roemischer's action, so to speak, is that on each of those issues, testimony has been carefully collected and a decision by the town and regional Act 250 Commission has been approved. Nor is that decision likely to change with yet another review by the Vermont Environmental Court, which likely won't take up the case until June and a decision might not be reached until the following year. The shame is that one person, simply because they fear the way their neighborhood will change, can sabotage a project that hundreds of community residents want to see built, and which would benefit the local economy while having almost no negative environmental impact. Not only would jobs be created with this project, but area families also would be able to secure residences for older family members in a safe, pleasant environment.
Vermont residents would hope that the Act 250 process would be used by a group of citizens to stop smelly pig farms from locating next to residential neighborhoods, for example, or perhaps prevent a race-car track or a landfill from building next to a quiet residential track. But when the process is used by a single person to thwart development considered positive by the vast majority in the community simply because that one person doesn't want the project in their own back yard (the NIMBY complex), the state legislature should move to rewrite the law.

ICC not to appeal Anderson ruling
The International Cricket Council has decided not to appeal against the ruling that saw England seamer James Anderson found not guilty of breaching its code of conduct.
Anderson was last week cleared of any wrong-doing by judicial commissioner Gordon Lewis relating to having been accused by India of pushing and abusing their all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja in the Trent Bridge pavilion during the first Investec Test.
Only the ICC, via chief executive Dave Richardson, could challenge that verdict - as well as the one that cleared Jadeja of a lesser charge - but after announcing on Tuesday that it would consider the verdict, the governing body has decided not to push the case further.
James Anderson, right, will definitely be free to play the final two Tests of the series
Richardson said: "This outcome is the result of two exhaustive and thorough disciplinary processes and, after considering the written decision, the ICC is satisfied with the manner in which the decisions have been reached."
Richardson's refusal to re-open a case that was heard at length via teleconference after last week's Test at the Ageas Bowl finally draws the Anderson-Jadeja saga to an end.
The England seamer, top wicket-taker in the series and man-of-the-match in Southampton, had been facing a ban of up to four Tests if found guilty but can now go into his home match at Emirates Old Trafford on Thursday with no cloud hanging over him.
The decision will be welcomed by the England and Wales Cricket Board, who were surprised to see the issue escalated so far by the tourists, while India will be highly aggrieved.
They have been eager to see Anderson punished, with captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni thought to have resisted all attempts to find a diplomatic solution.
Lewis' ruling, which was delivered with surprising speed given the prolonged and exhaustive nature of the hearing, had focused on the lack of decisive CCTV evidence and the conflicting nature of testimony from the opposing sides.
As such Richardson, a trained lawyer himself, saw no benefit to a challenge.
"It was a complicated and sensitive matter relating to charges brought against two players at different levels of the ICC code of conduct," Richardson noted.
"There appears to have been vastly conflicting evidence on both sides, with a total of 13 witnesses who gave testimony. After carefully considering the decision by Gordon Lewis, whose vast experience was invaluable to the process over recent weeks, we believe that no further purpose would be served by prolonging the process through further appeal proceedings.
"The disciplinary procedures were robust and transparent and all parties had ample opportunity to ask questions, test the evidence and make submissions. We have determined that there is no merit in an appeal and that it would not be in the best interest of the sport to take such action."
Lewis had also called on the ICC to look again at their disciplinary code after finding its terms unwieldy in his first appearance as a commissioner.
Richardson added: "As a matter of best practice, the ICC will now review the procedures as set out in the code and reflect upon the comments made by Gordon Lewis in his decision about how a case of this nature might better be provided for in the future."
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Context of the question: I am a nursing student that was given a case study of alcoholism. The subject of the study claims to be atheist.
Question: What are some therapeutic options for alcoholism (including physical dependance) that would be acceptable to an atheist? (Side question, should atheist be capitalized like Deaf person is?)
I can defend my reasoning why the client should not be required to attend AA. I need other treatment options that would be acceptable that do not include the 12 steps.
Thank you.
Views: 1192
There is a secular offshoot of AA that includes the 12 steps. They just reword then in a way that is consistent with atheism.
There are also groups like Rational Recovery that have totally different programs, but actually better rates of success.
Groups help, but it has a lot more to do with the person's commitment and involvement than it does the exact method they use
There is an organisation called AdAction who do not specialise in one area of addiction treatment and are purportedly atheist friendly. There are treatment centres in most large cities.

Forest edge past Addicks
Nottingham Forest maintained their unbeaten start to the Championship campaign with a 2-1 victory over Charlton.
Last Updated: 01/09/12 5:49pm
Lewis McGugan scored for the second league game running to give Forest a 17th-minute lead and on-loan Chelsea defender Sam Hutchinson netted his first senior goal after 75 minutes.
An own goal by Reds goalkeeper Lee Camp two minutes from time set up a nervy finale for the hosts but they saw out the remaining time to seal a deserved win.
Forest totally dominated the first half, with McGugan pulling the strings in midfield.
Charlton arrived at the City Ground also unbeaten since their promotion back to the second tier but the Addicks never looked like returning to south London with that record intact, rarely worrying Camp in the Forest goal until it was too late.
Hutchinson, McGugan, Adlene Guedioura and Dexter Blackstock came back into the Forest team after O'Driscoll had given some of his fringe players a run out against Wigan in the Capital One Cup in midweek.
Deadline-day signings Billy Sharp and James Coppinger were included on the bench.
Charlton boss Chris Powell just made one change with Jordan Cook replacing the absent Dale Stephens.
Powell brought in David Button on a two-year deal from Tottenham this week and the keeper was amongst the substitutes as cover for Ben Hamer.
Forest started brightly and almost went ahead after eight minutes but Guedioura's shot from inside the area hit the crossbar.
O'Driscoll's side went ahead shortly afterwards. McGugan was credited with the goal when his free-kick from wide on the left touchline was missed by Hamer and sneaked inside the post without a touch from anyone inside the crowded penalty box.
It might have been 2-0 straight away had Blackstock done better with his header from 12 yards out.
Simon Cox brought a solid save from Hamer just before half-time as Forest went into the break only one goal ahead, but leading comfortably.
Camp was called into action early in the second half to keep out an effort from Cook, which he needed two attempts at grasping.
Hutchinson gave Forest a two-goal cushion with a neat finish following Blackstock's lay-off and it appeared to be game over, with O'Driscoll bringing on new recruits Sharp and Coppinger for late run outs.
However, recent Charlton signing Ricardo Fuller played a part in the visitors getting a goal back.
The debutant's close-range header struck a post but somehow found its way into the back of the net via Camp's head from the rebound.
Forest held on, despite the late setback, and moved up to third in the table.

In the words of Twitter, welp.
Yesterday, Alabama head coach Nick Saban confirmed that starting safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix had been indefinitely suspended for violating unspecified team rules. Today, we've learned just what the violation may involve… and the fact that an Alabama football staffer has been caught up in it as well.
According to the Tuscaloosa News, UA assistant strength and conditioning coach Corey Harris has been placed on administrative leave for allegedly providing impermissible benefits to Clinton-Dix. Harris, the school's compliance department discovered, had given the player a short-term loan of what the paper describes as less than $500; the player turned over bank statements showing the withdrawal of money to repay the coach.
NCAA rules prohibit any coach from providing money to a student-athlete, up to and including the loaning of money.
Making the matter even murkier is that the compliance department, during their investigation, found that Harris has a connection to a representative of a sports agent. Just what Harris' connection is was not detailed.
The News wrote that "UA's internal investigation has found no indication that Clinton-Dix has had contact with any agent or agent representative."
It's not known how long Clinton-Dix will remain suspended — or, more accurately, how long it will be until he's reinstated and what conditions he must meet for his reinstatement.
Neither the school nor Saban has addressed this latest development, although a statement and/or press release is expected at some point today. If Harris did indeed violate NCAA bylaws, we don't expect him to be long for Saban's extended coaching staff.

Remembering September 11, 2001
For those of us in Washington, D.C., on September 11, 2001, the site of the beautiful Capitol Dome set against bright blue skies on a cool September morning will forever conjure feelings and memories of that horrible day. However, thanks to the gallant act of a few brave souls we are blessed to forever enjoy this icon to American ingenuity and democracy – their names can be found in the United States Capitol Building among other American heroes including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln.
We will never forget.
Plaque inscription:
In memory of the passengers and crew of United Airlines Flight 93, whose brave sacrifice on September 11, 2001, not only saved countless lives but may have saved the U.S. Capitol from destruction.

Pharr Yarns calls it the Tradition Meets Technology Initiative. It�s actually a Christmas gift for McAdenville and the hundreds of thousands who come to bask in the glow of Christmas Town USA every year.
Pharr Yarns calls it the Tradition Meets Technology Initiative.
It�s actually a Christmas gift for McAdenville and the hundreds of thousands who come to bask in the glow of Christmas Town USA every year.
Pharr worked with Charlotte�s CC Communications to create a GPS-guided mobile app that offers visitors � and locals � a look at the town�s history as they roll or stroll through McAdenville�s dazzling display.
Open the mobile site and you�ll find a map dotted with cheerful red Christmas trees, each a link to an historic McAdenville factoid.
One that stirs Mel Collins, Pharr�s vice president of human resources, enlightens users about the town�s connection with Thomas Edison.
The famous inventor came to McAdenville in 1883 to help install the generator that made McAden Mills the first electrically lighted textile mill in the world.
Visitors came to the mill town then to see the miraculous bulb, the �light in a bottle,� explains the app.
�And this many years later 600,000 people a year still come to see our Christmas lights,� says Collins. �There really is a wonderful synchronicity.�
There are links, too, between the company that designed the app and the town it features.
CEO Kip Cozart�s father was an engineer at Pharr Yarns. Cozart grew up amid the twinkling holiday attraction and brought his own children back for the annual tradition.
Some five generations of the family, he says, �have been affiliated with that luxury.�
By next year Cozart expects the ChristmasTownTour.com app to be available in the iTunes and Android mobile stores. There�s been talk of adding real-time traffic and wait-time reports.
Collins would like that. It might help with the frustration from people who wait in long lines only to have the lights turn out before they can get downtown.
There�s no Grinch stealing the Christmas lights at curfew, Collins promises. There are more than 30 electronic timers to keep the strict schedule.
He spends a lot of time this season thinking and talking about the town�s annual Christmas exhibition.
When the local tourism office gets calls about where to park buses or the hours for the local Village Restaurant, those callers are referred to none other than the Pharr VP.
His email address is the contact on the Christmas Town U.S.A. Facebook page.
Collins gets excited about the increasing number of walkers through the town.
And he gets worried about the folks who park on the opposite side of U.S. 74 and try to cross the busy highway on foot � something he asks guests to avoid doing at all costs.
But he can talk for longer about the custom of the lights and the tradition of the town.
The yule log celebration dates back to the late 1940s, he says, that nostalgic era of the Red Rider BB gun.
With help from CaroMont and Husqvarna, Pharr Yarns gave away 2,000 bags of kettle corn and 3,000 cups of hot chocolate during this year�s parade.
Another thing Collins likes to tell people: The lights are free to all.
This year, he can say the same thing about the self-guided mobile tour.
�It really fills you with pride to say this is a gift from Pharr Yarns � and a gift from the residents of McAdenville � to the children,� he says.
�You come to McAdenville and this is that pure, non-commercial Christmas of your childhood. And it�s still here.�

Diana Eng (best known from her season on Project Runway and her book Fashion Geek: Clothes Accessories Tech) is our current guest contributor, covering ham radio for Make: Online. In this Make: Project, Diana adds a little fashion frill to a standard piece of ham radio gear, the Morse code key. – Gareth Branwyn
I am just starting to learn Morse code and got a brand new key from American Morse Equipment. Most keys need to be mounted to hold them in place while the operator is dah-dit-ing. Keys are mounted on a heavy platform, or fastened to a radio. And some keys are worn on a leg strap. As a lady operator, and fashion designer, I wanted something cuter to keep my key on my leg, so here it is — how to turn a standard leg strap into a cute Morse code key leg strap.
* 1 yd 2″ wide satin ribbon
* 1 yd 3/8″ wide patterned ribbon
* 1 yd 3″ wide lace
* 2 spools of thread (to match patterned ribbon and lace)
* scissors
* a small amount of tulle (an 8″ x 8″ square will work just fine)
* a small amount of organza
* pins
* screw driver
* measuring tape
* key
* leg strap
1. Using the measuring tape, measure around your leg where you'd like to wear the strap. Subtract ½" from this measurement and cut the lace and patterned ribbon to this length.
2. Using a sewing machine, straight stitch the edge of the ribbon 1 1/8″ in from the edge of the lace.
3. Fold the lace along the stitched edge of the patterned ribbon. Fold the satin ribbon in half and sandwich it inside of the folded lace so that they overlap by ¾".
4. Using the sewing machine, zigzag stitch the edge of the lace to the ribbon. Start by forward stitching across the width of the ribbon. When you get to the edge, back stitch across the entire width. Then forward stitch across the entire width. You will have stitched over the same place three times to securely hold the ribbon in place.
5. Repeat step 4 ½" away from the first row of zigzag stitches so that you will have two rows of stitches.
6. Cut away excess ribbon and lace so that the strap will be nice and neat.
7. Using the sewing machine, straight stitch the unsewn edge of the patterned ribbon.
8. Using the flower pattern, cut along the gray line. Cut 4 flowers from the tulle and 2 flowers from the organza.
9. Layer the flower pieces: two tulle on the bottom, one organza, two tulle, and one organza on the top.
10. Most leg straps have a separate plate or piece which the strap feeds through that connects to the key, often by a screw. The fabric flower will go between this plate/piece and the key. Place the fabric flower on the plate/piece and make a hole in the flower for the screw to fit through. Then screw the key in place on top of the flower and plate/piece.
11. Thread the ribbon into the plate/piece, and strap your key on your leg tying the ribbon at the side.

Hubble Tracks Jupiter Storms
The Hubble telescope is following dramatic and rapid changes in Jupiter's turbulent atmosphere that will be critical for planning observations for the Galileo space probe when it arrives at the giant planet later this year.
This Hubble image provides a detailed look at a unique cluster of three white, oval-shaped storms that lie southwest [below and to the left] of Jupiter's Great Red Spot [dark oval-shaped object near the picture's right edge]. The appearance of the clouds is considerably different from their appearance only seven months earlier. Hubble shows these features moving closer together as the Great Red Spot is carried westward by the prevailing winds, while the white ovals are swept eastward.

NASHVILLE --- Sophomore Brianna Lawrence knocked down six three-pointers and scored a career-high 25 points but it was not enough as Tennessee State fell to Tennessee Tech, 77-68, Thursday night in the Gentry Center.
The loss snapped Tennessee State's two-game win streak and dropped the Lady Tigers to 5-12 overall (2-2 OVC).
Brianna Lawrence went 8-of-14 from the field and 6-of-10 from three-point range for a game-high 25 points to lead TSU while Chelsea Hudson recorded a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds. Rachel Allen also added 11 points and three steals.
Tennessee Tech (7-11, 4-1 OVC) was led by Diamond Henderson's 21 points while Hannah Goolsby registered 17. T'Keyah Williams finished the contest with 15 points.
Tennessee State got off to a fast pace in the first half and built nearly a double-digit lead a little over halfway through the stanza. Although Tech slowly chipped away at the deficit, TSU maintained the lead for most of the frame.
Tech tied the game at 28-all with 3:17 remaining before TSU went into the locker room with a slight, 35-33, lead.
TTU grabbed the lead on their first possession out of the break following a three-pointer. Before the first media timeout, TSU had fallen behind, 43-39, after being outscored, 10-4.
The Lady Tigers knotted the score, 45-45, when Brianna Lawrence buried her second three-pointer of the game.
Over the next three minutes, however, TSU suffered a scoring drought that saw the opponent score 12 unanswered points and go ahead, 57-46.
Consecutive triples from Lawrence and Rachel Allen pulled TSU to within five but TTU stretched its advantage back up to, 67-58, a few plays later.
Lawrence buried her sixth long-range bomb of the night with about three minutes remaining to make the score, 70-64, in favor of Tech.
TSU continued to fight but was unable to overcome the deficit.
Tennessee State shot 34.9 percent from the field, including 47.6 percent from beyond the arc but the Lady Tigers only managed to connect, 14-of-22 (63.6 percent) from the free-throw line.
Tennessee Tech shot nearly 50 percent from the field and made 55.6 percent from three-point range. TTU went 18-of-23 from the charity stripe.
TSU was outrebounded 43-35 while TTU also held a lopsided advantage in points in the paint, 38-18.
The Lady Tigers return to action on Saturday against Belmont. Game time is slated for 5:30 p.m. in the Gentry Center.
