Products like the Human Assistive Limb exoskeleton have a frustrating tendency to remain in the labs and universities that spawned them, usually for reasons of impracticality or cost. But this one is going mainstream.
This is great news for HAL's target market: Its ability to grant its wearer tenfold strength increases during specific actions could change the lives of people with degenerative muscle diseases, or accident victims who would otherwise need long, difficult rehabilitative therapy to regain basic mobility. And with a five-hour battery life, it could be quite practical for day to day use.
It's also great news for extreme hobbyists, certain factory workers and the children of the rich, who can enjoy near-full robotization for about $US4200 when these things start rolling off the line. The first run, to be sold in Japan, is planned at 400 units, so unless you can make the case that your RoboCop fantasies are more important than giving a dystrophic Japanese child his legs back, you might still have a while to wait.

update: it was pointed out that in the original post i didn't properly distinguish between the flu vaccine and tamiflu which is an anti-viral typically given after patient presents symptoms of the flu. while some people take the antiviral tamiflu prophylactically to prevent the flu it is not commonly prescribed by doctors as preventative treatment over getting the flu vaccine. i've edited the post accordingly, though it doesn't change the overall conclusions that there is not much strong evidence that either is particularly effective at preventing catching or lessening the effects of the flu.
note: as you're reading this try to remember that i'm not an anti-vaccine nut. i'm only writing about the flu vaccine. i also don't feel the vaccine is particularly dangerous. i'm certainly not anti-science. i'm pro evidence-based medicine. if you think i'm wrong, feel free to provide evidence. i'm happy to consider it and update the post accordingly.
there's no doubt that it's a bad flu season, especially for the elderly, which of course, brings about nearly universal calls for the population to get the flu vaccine like this, "For God's Sake, Go Get a Flu Shot", which passingly mentions the effectiveness of the vaccine while the author laments, "some of the smartest people I know act in the most irrational ways" in choosing to not get vaccinated. some of the more nuanced articles like, "Don't be selfish: Get a flu shot and protect the most vulnerable, bioethicist says", admit that while it's not particularly effective you should still get the vaccine to protect the herd. in other words, the ethics of getting the vaccine go beyond you and your selfish needs and it's important not so much to protect you as it is to protect "…the newborn baby baby down the road…" (!)
but what does the actual, independent research say about the flu vaccine's effectiveness at preventing infection, reducing the severity of symptoms once infected, preventing transmission and reducing overall morbidity and mortality? the renowned cochrane collaboration ( which performs systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions and provides official recommendations to the world health organization ) released their review of "Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy adults". their "plain language summary" and conclusion is notable in how different it is in tone from the headlines:
"There is not enough evidence to decide whether routine vaccination to prevent influenza in healthy adults is effective…The results of this review seem to discourage the utilisation of
vaccination against influenza in healthy adults as a routine public
health measure…"
and they go futher in a companion summary
"Our results may be an optimistic estimate because company-sponsored influenza vaccines trials tend to produce results favorable to their products and some of the evidence comes from trials carried out in ideal viral circulation and matching conditions and because the harms evidence base is limited.."
the data is even less clear ( if that were even possible ) with tamiflu. the cochrane collaboration updated their review of unpublished flu vaccine trials last year and the results may surprise you. forbes of all places has a summary if you're not motivated to read the whole thing, "The Myth of Tamiflu: 5 Things You Should Know". to summarize their summary:
1. any effectiveness data ( marginal as it is ) you hear reported is possibly inflated by publication and reporting biases. 60% of randomized data from the tamiflu treatment trials have never been published.
2. The studies did not show that tamiflu reduced the risk of hospitalization.
3. The studies were inadequate to determine the effect of tamiflu on complications.
4. The studies were inadequate to determine if Tamiflu reduced transmission of the virus.
5. The use of Tamiflu did reduce the duration of symptoms by about a day.
the lack of conclusiveness was so pronounced and the potential for shenanigans with reporting bias was so great that the cochrane researchers asked roche for the original studies to make firm conclusions about the drug. would it surprise you learn that the drug company has not released the data?
so whenever you hear a news report on getting the flu vaccine or tamiflu, remember the thoughts of the cochrane collaborators after writing their review of the knowns and unknowns about the effectiveness of the vaccine:
"Despite the monumental task that the authors have completed, many uncertainties remain unresolved, and more have surfaced as a direct result of their efforts. The questions now raised by the review are, if anything, more thought-provoking than the answers it provides."
relatedly, cochrane has previously reported that there is no evidence that only vaccinating healthcare workers prevents laboratory-proven influenza, pneumonia, and death from pneumonia in elderly residents.
finally, if you're really interested in evidence-based medicine and reducing transmission of the flu, the university of michigan has showed that pairing masks and hand washing results in a 75 percent reduction in flu-like illness which is, as you might recall, more effective that the likely-to-be-biased flu vaccine research results. also, get a humidifier.
more interesting reading: "The Atlantic: Does the Vaccine Matter?" ( though i do think author conflates a few issues and i don't agree with all her conclusions – i.e. i don't agree with everything she writes. )

Everyone has heard about Tempur-Pedic mattresses. The famous Tempur-Pedic mattress is known for its design in the way that it curves and shapes around the sleeper's body. Tempur Pedic Full Size Bed in Randburg the brand carries different models and designs for different preferences. A lot of research has been put into these mattresses to ensure the quality and effectiveness of a great mattress. Because of the advanced research and design of the mattress, Tempurpedic Bed Deals the pricing on them can be much higher than most people expect to pay for a mattress. The key to being able to afford a Tempur-Pedic mattress is to look for a Tempur-Pedic mattress sale.
Sales allow consumers to purchase these mattresses for lower than retail prices. This also makes it so people that wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it can afford a mattress that is comfortable and state of the art. The first step I would take in looking for a Tempur-Pedic mattress sale is by collecting store ads as they come in the mail. Furniture and mattress stores often mail out flyers and catalogues of their store items and display current or upcoming sales. These catalogues can prepare you to know about the sale and to also price shop based on the different store ads you receive.
Beds: Where is the Best Place to Find one?
The first step in finding the most comfortable price for you for your mattress is by visiting a store and ensuring this is the mattress for you. You should also see which of the types of Tempur-Pedic mattresses you prefer, as well if you are interested in any of the extras they offer. Once you have decided to purchase this mattress, you should be prepared to wait for the best sale to come around. Do you research online, Tempurpedic Adjustable Bed and then purchase the newspapers with the stores ads in them. Do some comparisons and when the best deal comes around – be sure to jump on it.
Tempur Pedic Full Size Bed in Randburg ?
With the right method bed knowledge might easily be accessed extremely rapidly, if you take your time when implementing your bed research and you will not go far wrong, if you need specialized advice on merchandise like bunk bed frames then see if you can find a number of expert bed reviews. The way to find out if a bed website might be able to help you with your particular bed search, pretend for a moment a wholesale murphy bed is your specific item, is to discover if the site contains a categorised bed section and a good number of bed articles, if in fact it does supply this type of things then obtaining a bed that is suitable will be easy, if however the site is about a common home improvement topic then it is unlikely you will come up with your required bed targeted help. A large amount of bed targeted guides you will locate online are all about assisting people to buy specific bed items such as metal frame twin beds and king size bed frames, searching for this type of bed guidance can often turn out to be very frustrating indeed. It can be you purchase a and afterwards see that the bed site you got it from was not supplying it at the lowest price, to be confident that this never happens another time try to make sure you make an online price comparison or check out a decent mutlitude of bed online stores first, it could be a king iron bed canopy is selling for a set cost on one particular site however is five percent lower on a competitors site, some good deals can be found if you take the time to look. Before you contemplate any bed purchase be sure that the bedding merchant you could be buying your product from gives you the opinion that obtaining a refund and merchandise returns will not turn out to be a hassle, switching or part exchanging a wrought iron day bed for a twin loft bed must never turn into a real issue. A sizeable number of bed associated searches may buy have led you to a bed or interior design focused site, searches like "find heavy duty bed frames" or "reviews on water bed sheets", the main secret with any home improvement directory is to go straight to the site menu, if you take this advice you should not be side tracked because of bed reviews which are not connected to the bed you require. The easiest way to tell if a bed site may be able to assist you with your particular bed search, lets say that a double bed frame is your specific item, is to learn if the site contains a targeted bed directory and a fair number of bed articles, provided it does supply these types of things then you are clearly in with a chance, if however the site is targeted at a general interior design subject you are perhaps less likely to get your required bed related guidance. The way to find out if a bed portal will hopefully be able to help you with your selected bed search, pretend for a moment a wood bed frame is your particular item, is to find out if the site contains a targeted bed directory and a good quantity of bed write ups, if this is the case and it does contain such things your search for a bed will be easy, if on the other hand the website is focused on a general home improvement subject you will probably not obtain your desired bed related info.
Tempurpedic Mattress Sale - Where To Find It
Tempur-Pedic was the first to employ viscoelastic material in the manufacture of its mattresses and still remain the market leader in memory foam mattresses. Many other companies now make memory foam mattresses like the Simmons ComforPedic Mattress and the Sealy TrueForm Mattress. But why have memory foam mattresses proved such a success? The answer lies in the indisputable benefits of memory foam.
Temperature and Weight Sensitive
All memory foam mattresses like the Tempur-Pedic mattress are sensitive to weight and body heat: the higher the body temperature the more soft memory foam mattresses become; the cooler the body, the firmer the mattress. Most people enjoy this sensation. More importantly, the mattress changes shape to match the exact contours of your body, giving better support and correct spine alignment. Many orthopedic expects concur that memory foam (like the Tempur-Pedic mattress) delivers the best, orthopedically correct alignment of your neck and spine. Testing by the Institution for Clinical & Physiological Research at the Lillhagen Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden of 23,000 patients for a period corresponding to approximately 8 years of clinical and in-home use concluded that the patients suffered from less pain and experienced greatly enhanced and deeper sleep when they slept on a memory foam mattress.
A good quality mattress is a hefty financial investment and the Tempur-Pedic mattress is probably the most expensive memory foam mattress on the market. Despite the cost factor, the Tempur-Pedic memory foam mattress remains the most popular on the market. I know that marketing can artificially increase a company's market share but Tempur-Pedic has been in the market long enough now that the novelty value and shrewd marketing pitch doesn't fool the consumer: the reason the Tempur-Pedic mattress is the most popular brand of memory foam mattress is because of the genuine sleep benefits that most people have experienced with it.

If you follow me on twitter or instagram (my handle is oliveandollie), you may have seen some images of my latest quilt in progress. It's an improv log cabin for an upcoming project, and I'm using some of my favorite fabrics from Denyse Schmidt's DS Quilts collection lines. I've been holding on to some of them for almost a year so I thought it was fine time to start cutting them up. I've added a solid teal, which is Light Jade by FreeSpirit as well as Kona Snow by Robert Kaufman.
This is one of my favorite blocks. And I know that I won't be keeping this quilt, but I'm having a hard time thinking about giving it up. I rarely make the same quilt twice, but I may have to make an exception for this one.
While I was pressing the blocks yesterday, I was really struck with how much I liked them from the back too. I love seeing how all the little pieces fit just right, even if there are some wonky angles in there. Everything just all comes together.
As you can see, I press my seams open. I think it really makes the blocks lay better in the end, although it does take more time than pressing to the side.
This one is almost finished and then it's off to Jill's for quilting. I can't wait to see what she does with it!

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 88 diseños de 46 diseñadores freelance.
Website will be "http://www.TrustyTradesPeople.com"
We are two regular guys on a mission to change the building industry in the UK by dragging it into the 21st century.
We are fed up with seeing people getting ripped off by unreliable tradespeople doing rubbish work for extortionate rates.
We will champion householders rights to get building work done on time and for a fair price.
We want to target householders in the UK who need work done on their house and don't want to risk getting ripped off.
It's important to recognise that many of the people using our site will be women and so we don't want to come over as rude and unfriendly. We are honest and trustworthy people and we expect that most of our customers will be the same.
We want them to feel their home is in safe hands. We are pitching at mid market - people who own their own homes but those homes are not necessarily mansions :)
We are looking for a logo around which to build our whole brand for TrustyTradesPeople.com
One problem with the building industry is that it's often represented as very macho & male dominated.
We have called the company TrustyTradesPeople.com not TrustyTradesMEN as we will also have lady tradespeople on our books - this must be reflected in the image.
An idea we are quite keen on is a male and female tradesperson in hard hats and overalls.
1. Nothing too complex please - it needs to be easily recognisable across many media.
2. Nice and colorful please - No prizes for subtly, this needs to get the message over loud and proud.
3. The typeface should be clear, simple, bold and workperson like. Should be clear and easy to read at a distance.
4. Approachable and friendly - We want a warm and informal look so that people will not feel put off or think that we will be condescending.
Here's some examples of what we are trying to avoid:
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
It's important that we have a vector version of the logo. Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

Spoiler alert! This post reveals details about the Brooke Shields episode of "Who Do You think You Are?" so don't watch if you haven't seen the episode and you want to be surprised.
The theme tonight: how genealogy can help you understand—and forgive—your ancestors, and how it can give you a sense of belonging.
Tonight I sat back on the couch and flipped open the laptop in preparation for learning about Brooke Shields family history. At the beginning (after the annoyingly long series promo), Shields talks about her childhood: Modeling by 11 months old, then acting in movies. (Read more about her career on the "Who Do You Think You Are?" website.) Her parents, who divorced by the time Shields was 5 months old, she says, "were the antithesis of one another." She describes her dad as aristocracy and mom as working class. "I never knew where I belonged," she says.
She heads to Newark, NJ, where she was born but about which she has no early memories. Shields doesn't know anything about her mom's parents, other than her grandma's name, Theresa Dollinger, and the fact she had a sister.
"I think my grandmother was horrible to my mother and I started disliking her at a very young age," Shields says. How sad.
She meets Michelle Chubenko, a genealogist specializing in New Jersey family history. They search birth certificates on microfilm. They find Theresa's and learn her mother's name, Ida. Next, they look for the sister. Excellent strategy.
Surprise! Ida had two other children! Brothers John and Edward were born in 1910 and 1914. John died in infancy. But what happened to Edward?
Shields is eager to find out. "You feel like you're a detective," she says, which is exactly what I think so many people like about genealogy.
On a busy street, she meets historian Tom McCabe. He shows her a 1910 image of the same street, where Theresa Dollinger lived as a child.
Chubenko has more vital records to show Shields. Ida, Theresa's mother, died of uterine cancer when Theresa was 10. Shields realizes her grandmother probably had to be an adult and a "parent" to her younger siblings at a young age.
Another tragedy: Edward died by accidental drowning at age 13—presumably while in Theresa's care. Chubenko gives Shields an article about the drowning, and she goes to the spot where it happened. Local boys were bathing in the river on a hot day, and Edward couldn't swim.
Shields' feelings toward her grandmother have turned to empathy. We're seeing how understanding your ancestor's lives can help you forgive them.
Next, we follow Shields to research her father's family at the New York Historical Society, where genealogist Gary Boyd Roberts has prepared a family tree. Shields' father died in 2003, and she doesn't know much about that side, but she believes they were well-off in Italy.
Giovanni Torlinia, her 5th-great-grandfather (I think; could be off by a great or two) who died in 1829. It's thought Giovanni's father Marino changed the family name to Torlonia. Shields wants to know what came before, and travels to Rome.
She visits the building where her ancestors had a bank, as a crowd gathers to gawk. Marino Torlonia was a cloth merchant who supplied the invading French, and he opened up the first private bank in Italy with branches in several countries. He became wealthy enough to buy properties, including one near Rome, and Shields tours Villa Torlonia. It's an opulent palace filled with murals and sculpture.
We're looking at a record (I didn't catch what it is) showing Marino Torlonia's origin in France.
She goes to the region of Augerolles and learns from another expert Marino was actually born in France as Marin Torlonias. An abbott who Marin worked for was exiled and Marin helped him escape to various places in Europe, ending in Rome. They've found THE house, a humble stone structure, where the family started. Shields feels a connection—she loves France and was a French literature major in college.
She explores another branch of her dad's family: Christine Marie, who has the tantalizing word "royale" after her name on a family tree. Shields searches Ancestry.com while on the train (I was beginning to worry the site wouldn't make an appearance!) and learns Christine was born in the Louvre, which used to be a royal palace.
She meets Charles Mosely, a expert on royal genealogy. He tells Shields she's related to Henry IV through Christine Marie. In the Saint-Denis cathedral, they visit a chamber storing the hearts of many French kings. Shields climbs onto a shelf and touches the container with Henry IV heart, as Mosely stammers, unsure whether to stop her. Don't try this at your local museum, kids!
At Versailles, which Louis XIV built, Mosely tells Shields Louis XIV—grandfather of Henry IV—is her first cousin many generations removed. Mosely ticks off a list of other royals Shields is related to. She's amazed.
"Being able to find your place in the grand scheme of things—there's something empowering about that. By going on this journey, I feel more complete as a person." I think even if your roots are a lot more humble and pedestrian than this—more like Shields' mother's side, perhaps—you'll feel empowered when you know the people who came before you.

Ozzy Osbourne Rings in New Year With Granddaughter Pearl
Get ready to say, "Awwwww." Above is a pic of legendary Black Sabbath vocalist Ozzy Osbourne holding his newest granddaughter Pearl as the two celebrate the New Year together. Ozzy became a grandfather for the fifth time last year, when son Jack and now-wife Lisa Stelly welcomed the baby girl into the world.
Jack Osbourne posted this picture of Ozzy and Pearl on his Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages last night (Jan. 1). This is the second picture of Ozzy and Pearl together that we've seen, as an earlier pic of the duo on the Sabbath singer's private jet was revealed in November (see below).
Hello! magazine was the first publication to introduce Pearl to the public shortly after she was born on April 24, 2012. "People say when you have a kid, it's like instant love, but unless you've experienced it, it's impossible to comprehend," Jack Osbourne told Hello! "The moment I saw her, I felt more love than I'd ever felt for anything. It was the weirdest, most overwhelming thing."
Not only are we jealous of Pearl for having the coolest grandpa ever, but it's likely that the child has already heard some of the new Sabbath album. Unfortunately for us, Pearl probably can't be convinced to mail us a digital copy … yet.

Why do we even need this URM bull? Do we really need to accept people that are less qualified? Does the workforce really prefer inferior lawyers? How are you entitled to gain an advantage from something that you had no power to control? Should we be more lenient when it comes to admitting down syndrome folks? Perhaps autistics ones? Thoughts? I feel like this affirmative action system is preventing the US from producing the best lawyers possible.
Also, quit sounding like an angry white person.
who's the racist? You assume color. How do you know he's not Asian? Or Bill Cosby?
Quote from: LincolnLover on December 01, 2011, 10:07:52 AMwho's the racist? You assume color. How do you know he's not Asian? Or Bill Cosby?I did not assume color. I said that the person sounded like an angry white person. I didn't say, "Quit being an angry white person." I said to quit sounding like one.
And that explanation is any less racist how?

'Well, that was a game the Sabres should have won hands down. Mikko Koskinen was not good before he was pulled from the net for the Islanders, and I am being kind to Al Montoya when I write that he was shaky at best between the pipes. Drew Stafford showed up for another game for the Sabres but Ryan Miller had one of his worst outings of the season. Several of the goals allowed you would like your reigning Vezina trophy winning netminder to stop. Anytime you score 6 goals on the Islanders you should win, no doubt about it.'

Red River Ride
The Red River Ride is a 100 mile charity bicycle rally to raise funds for Promise Home, a self-funding orphanage project in Honduras. The ride will begin just outside of Frisco, Texas (near Dallas) proceed 50 miles north to the Red River (which is the border of Oklahoma and Texas) then return 50 miles to the south. 100% of the proceeds of this ride will support Promise Home. The ride is open to both experienced and novice riders and there will be multiple course lengths (15 miles, 30 miles, 45 miles, 60 miles and 100 miles).
Promise Home is self-funding orphanage project in El Portillo, Honduras that is being developed to house, educate, and train abused and neglected orphans from throughout the country of Honduras. The vision of Promise Home is to create an orphanage that is financially self-sufficient through agriculture and aquaculture (Tilipia farming) projects that will fund the operating costs of the orphanage. In addition these projects will provide vocational training opportunities for the orphans so that they will develop life skills that will break the cycle of poverty in which they are currently trapped.
Additional information about Promise Home and it's purpose can be found at http://www.promisehome.org.
The primary target audience for the Red River Ride is young (18-45), urban, suburban, socially-conscious, and physically-fit. This ride will draw the type of person that enjoys exercise but, more importantly, wants to connect their love of biking to something that supports the greater good.
In addition, some will join this ride simply to say that they have ridden to the Red River and back. The Red River represents a sort of "Mason-Dixon" line between Oklahoma and Texas. For example, the University of Texas and the Oklahoma University are perennial college football powerhouses....their annual game is branded as the "Red River Rivalry". This event plans to use the "mystique" of the Red River to make it a destination-oriented bike rally.
Finally, a third target audience for this logo will be those that simply purchase supporting material (T-shirts, etc.) but don't plan to participate in the ride. The demographics of this group will vary widely.
The Red River Ride is a critical aspect of the 2010 fundraising strategy of Promise Home. We envision this ride growing into a major event in the DFW metroplex over the next 5 years. Because of this, the logo for the Red River Ride is extremely important.
With that in mind, we have few specific requirements for the logo. We would like to encourage designers to be creative. Virtually no design elements are mandatory.
Some elements to consider:
-The dominant color of all things Honduras is "Honduras blue" (pantone 293 C). While this color is not required in the logo, it would tie nicely with the Promise Home brand (two versions of the Promise Home logo are attached).
-This is a bicycle rally/ride. A logo that communicates that (however subtly) is preferred.
-The Red River is a key aspect in the brand of the ride
-The length of the ride, 100 miles (or a "century" in the language of cycling), is a key aspect of the ride.

Q. Solaris and FreeBSD both provide the truss command to monitor and debug system calls. I'm unable to find this command or package. How can I install truss under Linux?
A. truss is a debugging utility in Solaris and FreeBSD to monitor the system calls used. It is used to trace call and useful debugging many problems. Linux provides strace command. This command is installed by default. strace is a useful diagnostic, instructional, and debugging tool. System administrators, diagnosticians and troubleshooters will find it invaluable for solving problems with programs for which the source is not readily available since they do not need to be recompiled in order to trace them.

Joe's Pizza is a pizza parlor located in Bedford Point, Staunton Island, which appears both in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. It is directly opposite of Phil Cassidy's Fully Cocked Gun Shop in GTA Liberty City Stories.
In GTA III, a similar parlor is located just east of this one, on the other side of the opposite facing building. Another smaller parlor is located south of the parlor, east of the location where there are breakable parking meters. There is also "Joe's Pizza" restaurant in Ghost Town in GTA III.
In GTA Liberty City Stories, the Bedford Point Joe's Pizza receive several cosmetic changes; Toni Cipriani can also start the Pizza Boy side mission here. After the completion of this mission, the parlor generates a maximum of $2,500 per day and a health boost.

- stop taking one of the medications,
- change one of the medications to another,
- change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
- leave everything as is.
An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.

Brendon Ayanbadejo: Players have to say they're straight to keep draft stock
Nick Kasa (left) opened a can of worms with his revelation that teams asked about his sexual orientation at the combine. (Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)
During a radio interview on Thursday, Michigan State running back Le'Veon Bellreportedly said that he had been asked a line of questions similar to the "Do you like girls?" queries Colorado tight end Nick Kasa admitted he faced at the NFL combine.
"Yeah, yeah ... just like that," Bell said. "I mean, I got asked so many of them, I don't remember them all, but that was definitely a couple questions that I got asked, too.
Kasa told the CJ and Kreckman Show that, "They ask, like, 'Do you have a girlfriend? Are you married? Do you like girls?' Those kinds of things."
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello issued a statement Wednesday, saying that the league will investigate Kasa's claim:
"We will look into the report on the questioning of Nick Kasa at the Scouting Combine," NFL Spokesman Greg Aiello said in a statement. "It is league policy to neither consider nor inquire about sexual orientation in the hiring process.
"In addition, there are specific protections in our collective bargaining agreement with the players that prohibit discrimination against any player, including on the basis of sexual orientation."
Kasa and Bell's remarks come on the heels of Manti Te'o being asked during his combine press conference if he currently has a "real" girlfriend, and just weeks following San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver taking substantial heat for making the comment that a gay teammate "can't be ... in the locker room."
"I don't do the gay guys, man. I don't do that," Culliver told radio host Artie Lange. "Ain't got no gay people on the team. They gotta get up outta here if they do. Can't be with that sweet stuff."
Ravens linebacker Brandon Ayabadejo, a noted advocate for equal right and gay marriage, spoke out against Culliver's comments in New Orleans. And he joined MSNBC's The Ed Show with Ed Schultz on Wednesday, to discuss what might have gone on inside the combine's interview rooms.
"Teams are really fickle, there's all kinds of things they want to know," Ayanbadejo said. "A lot of teams really want to talk to you, get a feel for your personality, see what you're like. If you give the wrong answers, that could be the difference between going to that team in the first round and slipping to another in the draft."
Ayanbadejo said that he hopes the league soon has "our Jackie Robinson, our pioneer for gay rights and equality," but that incoming rookies should tell teams what they want to hear.
"Selfishly, I think players need to say that they're straight right now," Ayanbadejo told Schultz. "You need to get drafted as high as you can get drafted, get the money while you can ...
"The way things are going right now with the bigotry that still exists and discrimination that still exists within the locker room and sports arena in general, I think you need to say, 'Hey, I'm straight, I love women', and keep things so-called normal. Maybe later, once you've established yourself and when we break down some of these walls in the NFL, players will be more comfortable to be who they are."

Product uses only food-industry ingredients
By Kevin Begos
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The oil and gas industry is trying to ease environmental concerns by developing nontoxic fluids for the drilling process known as fracking, but it's not clear whether the new product will be widely embraced by drilling companies.
Houston-based energy giant Halliburton Inc. has developed a product called CleanStim, which uses only food-industry ingredients. Other companies have developed nontoxic fluids as well.
"Halliburton is in the business to provide solutions to our customers," said production manager Nicholas Gardiner. "Those solutions have to include ways to reduce the safety or environmental concerns that the public might have."
Environmental groups say they welcome the development but still have questions.
The chemicals in fracking fluids aren't the only environmental concern, said George Jugovic, president of PennFuture. He said there is also concern about the large volumes of naturally occurring but exceptionally salty wastewater and air pollution.
It's premature to say whether it will ever be feasible to have fluids for fracking that are totally nontoxic, said Scott Anderson, a senior adviser for the Environmental Defense Fund.
"But we are encouraged to some extent by recent industry efforts to at least reduce the toxicity," Anderson said.
Fracking, short for hydraulic fracturing, has made it possible to tap into energy reserves across the nation but also has raised concerns about pollution, since large volumes of water, along with sand and hazardous chemicals, are injected deep into the ground to free the oil and gas from rock.
Regulators contend that overall, water and air pollution problems are rare, but environmental groups and some scientists say there hasn't been enough research on those issues. The industry and many federal and state officials say the practice is safe when done properly, but faulty wells and accidents have caused problems.
Halliburton says CleanStim will provide "an extra margin of safety to people, animals and the environment in the unlikely occurrence of an incident" at a drilling site.
Gardiner said Halliburton has developed a chemistry-scoring system for the fluids, with lower scores being better. CleanStim has a zero score, he said, and is "relatively more expensive" than many traditional fracking fluids.
Both Jugovic and Anderson noted that one of the most highly publicized concerns about toxic fracking fluids hasn't really been an issue: the suggestion that they might migrate from thousands of feet underground, up to drinking water aquifers.
"Most people agree there are no confirmed cases so far" of fracking chemicals migrating up to drinking water, Anderson said. But he added that simple spills of fluid on the surface can cause problems.

Tutus and Teacups Birthday Party
A Too-Too Cute Tutus and Teacups Birthday Party
A Too-Too Cute Tutus and Teacups Birthday Party
"I am a planner by nature and knew the day after my daughter's first birthday that I wanted to do a teacups and tutu theme using soft pinks and oranges for her second," says Johanna Saucier, mom to 2-year-old Presley. "With that much time to plan, I kept adding details up to a week before her party. I believe it's the details that make a party memorable and unique."
"I incorporated teacups in the cake balls and printables and in real teacups purchased from flea market and used for floral arrangements," she continues. "I also wanted subtle and sweet touches of tulle, including the pom garland, tutus for each little girl, and tulle wands." But the details don't stop there. From a DIY dress-up closet and shabby-chic doily accents to a framed photo dessert table backdrop, there are so many ideas we want to steal from this party. Our favorite, though, has to be the tulle-topped ombré cakes that lined the party table. Simply "tutu" chic! Keep clicking to check out all the details of this inspired party. As Johanna says, "What little girl doesn't love to twirl around in a tutu?"

First ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, some filler
The first ingredient in the food is a named meat product. This is the sole meat product in the food, but is not in meal form. Fresh ingredients are inclusive of water content (about 80%). Once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. Ingredients are listed in order of weight, and the dehydrated ingredient would probably be more accurately placed much further down the ingredient list. In short, it is unlikely that this product has as much meat content as the labelling first suggests.
Red milo is a grain more commonly found in bird seed mix and cattle feed than in dog food, possibly because of its relatively low protein content. Both pea and potato protein are included as the next ingredients, and are likely to make up a substantial amount of the overall protein in the food. Potato flour is produced from whole potatoes, and is a reasonable quality ingredient. The food contains a good range of fruits and vegetables, as well as a good range of probiotics. We note the inclusion of synthetic vitamin K, a substance alleged by some to be linked to liver problems. Pea and oat fiber and tomato pomace are fillers.
Overall, the product is primarily comprised of decent quality ingredients. It suffers, however, from a low apparent meat content and users might consider adding meat to this diet.

Gulp! Alive! Fish Fry is rated out of 5 by 17.
Rated 5 out of 5 by stoneflint from No Live bait! Ever since I started using gulp alive fish fry, I've not used live bait for crappies or sunnies during spring through fall fishing. I have compared my fishing success with my own fishing companions other fishermen at the boat access, and I consistently out fish live bait users! Love the stuff!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Terrific Action This is my go to bait when after panfish, which is what I mostly pursue. The chartreuse color has produced the best catches and is my first choice when on the water. If chartreuse isn't working, pink has been the second choice. I fish them on the 1/64 and 1/32 oz., gum ball style jig using a slip bobber. They also work well ice fishing. That little tail keeps a bluegill busy and when they are busy so am I.

In the good old Times of Windows XP, when clicking on a email address, Pocomail was called, opened a new mail and the selected address was entered in the to field.
Now I have to copy the email address, have to switch to Pocomail, have to open a new mail and then to have enter the address in the to field.
I read some time ago that by editing the registry this missbehaving can be cured. Only: the solution given, didn't work for me, because I nowhere found the address given in that excample.
Has anybody else had this problem and has solved it?
Help would be appreciated very much,

As many of you know, losing Lenny, our 18-year-old Border Terrier mix who passed away late last year, was terribly hard for us. Although we have three wonderful female pups, I longed for a small, scruffy boy dog. I also knew that if we found one, he had to be able to successfully cohabitate with our girls. I wasn't concerned about our Pointer, happy-go-lucky Lola, but the needs of Kit and Holly, a pair of scrappy but shy Beagle-mix sisters, had to be considered.
You won't be surprised to hear that I spent an inordinate amount of time online, scouring Petfinder, Adopt-a-Pet, and rescue and humane sites. I also visited local shelters and attended adoption events. Strangely I could not find many dogs with the appearance and temperament I was looking for. There were more females than males, and a few of these had fear issues, especially men-centered. But then, a few days before Christmas, I did my usual search for "small, male, young, JRT" and was rewarded with this charming photo of a 15-pound, year-old pup named Boca.
By this point, I had extended my search nationwide, which was an education in itself. For example, I found that some rescuers didn't approve of the fact that we already had three dogs. A woman in Texas told me that, while they could arrange an out-of-state adoption, they would not consider adopting a dog into a "pack," even though we more than met the other criteria, including having a fenced-in yard and devoting oodles of time to walks and doggie adventures.
Luckily, Boca was being fostered in Auburn, Calif., only two hours away. I immediately emailed them with a flurry of questions and information about us, as well as the kind of life we could provide for him. Once again, I lucked out. Not only did I get a fast response, but I was the first to express an interest in him. He had been assessed in his foster home and did well with (hatless) men, other dogs — including Greyhounds — and cats. I broke the news about Lola, Holly and Kit; and got their ok for a visit.
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
Soon thereafter, Cameron, Lola and I drove north to meet him. He was being fostered by Shana Laursen of Greyhound Friends for Life at her remarkable, 1,000-acre facility, where she cares for both Greyhound and mixed-breed rescues. She had seen a photo of the little guy taken by Kern County Animal Control, who classified him as a stray, though whether or not he had been one was hard to know. Many shelters charge people a fee to surrender a dog, but no fee for bringing in a stray. This means that any history that could aid in placement is lost (definitely a policy that needs to be reconsidered).
Shana told us that this Bakersfield area shelter — which takes in an inordinate number of dogs and has one of the highest euthanasia rates in the state — is proactively transporting dogs to rescue groups in the San Francisco Bay Area, saving local rescuers a more than 12- hour round trip. Boca had only been in the shelter for about two weeks before grabbing Shana's attention with his brindling and oh-too-sweet face. (She was fostering him in conjunction with another 501(c)(3), the Sacramento Independent Animal Rescuers Inc., which provides invaluable assistance to independent fosterers.)
By the time we met Boca, he had been with Shana for about three weeks, one of 47 dogs in her care. (Not only does she have lots of land and a truly amazing facility — with multiple buildings, and indoor and outdoor kenneling areas — she also has dedicated volunteers and a vet tech to call upon.) One look at Boca in all his high-jumping splendor told us that he was the dog for us. Once the papers were signed, we took him home.
Much to my great relief, when he met Lola, Kit and Holly there was no fuss whatsoever. It was as though they considered him to be a much younger, sprightlier Lenny. All was definitely right in their world — they were once again a pack of four.
As I write this, it's been about six weeks since we adopted Boca — whom we renamed Charlie — and we still can't believe how blessed we were to find him. (Read more about my observations of pack living)

Since October is the Month of the Rosary I thought it would be appropriate to do a series of posts on what the rosary is, how to pray it and also answer some questions people have about the rosary.
If you want to read some lengthier historical pieces, there are some here, here and here. I will distill these articles into a shorter summary.
History of the Rosary
The rosary as it is known today is the product of hundreds of years of tradition and variation.
The Rosary in the East
The use of beads to keep track of prayers has been a common practice throughout Church history. Monks in the Eastern Churches used bead ropes of varying length to keep track of prayers. The length and prayers vary considerably in the Eastern Churches and don't actually incorporate the Hail Mary.
Precursor to the Rosary
In the Western Church a string of beads was used to keep track of praying the 150 Psalms during the Divine Office. Adaptations were made since most couldn't read to recite shorter prayers, especially the Our Father and the beads became known as "Pater Noster" beads. Over time, the first half of the Hail Mary, minus the words "Jesus Christ", came to be included in the prayers and eventually to become the more popular method of recitation by the twelfth century.
The Albigensian Heresy
The Albigensian heresy that plagued southern France in St. Dominic's time was based on a dual view of the world similar to that of the Manicheans of the 3rd century, namely, that there are two supreme beings, a good God who created the spirit world, and an evil god who created the material world. The spiritual world is essentially good, and the material world (including the human body) is essentially evil. The evil god (Satan) imprisoned spirits in material bodies, so whatever one can do to be released from that prison (including suicide) is good. Since matter is evil, marriage and the procreation of mankind is evil. The proponents of this heresy rejected Catholic belief regarding the Trinity, the Incarnation, the sacraments, hell and purgatory, but believed in the transmigration of souls. Christ was not truly a man, nor therefore, was Mary truly the Mother of God. The crucifixion, death and resurrection of Christ were only illusions, and the whole concept of the cross in the Christian life was rejected. (source)
This is where the history gets muddy. Tradition has it that St. Dominic called for praying the Rosary as a weapon to assist in the fight against the Albigensians but nowhere in his writings can this be found. It appears that the tradition linking St. Dominic to the Rosary was created by Alan de Rupe, O.P. who lived in the 1400's.
Even though the Rosary as we know it today can't be traced back to St. Dominic, the spirit of the Rosary can be found in his methods of preaching which included reflections on the life of Christ interspersed with Hail Mary's. There was also an organization founded by St. Dominic called the Militia of Jesus Christ that prayed the Marian Psalter daily and another group founded by a Dominican bishop during the 1200's that also prayed 150 Hail Mary's every day.
Current Use of the Rosary
The Rosary as we know it today consists of 200 Hail Mary's divided into groups of ten by single Our Father's and Glory Be's. Each decade is introduced by a part of Christ's life to meditate upon. The length of the rosary was extended from 150 to 200 beads in 2002 by Pope John Paul II in the Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae to include five more mysteries from the latter part of Christ's life. These additions are typically called the "Luminous Mysteries" or the "Mysteries of Light". It has also become common practice to say the "Fatima Prayer" in between each decade. This prayer:
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy.
was part of the apparitions at Fatima back in the early 1900's.
If you would like to buy a rosary, we have hundreds of styles to choose from.

Race Profile: 1936 Vanderbilt Cup Race
A summary of the 1936 Vanderbilt Cup Race- an attempt to revive racing on Long Island.
Enjoy Super Sunday,
Howard Kroplick
1936 Vanderbilt Cup
As American economic conditions improved, Willie K's nephew, George Washington Vanderbilt III, Boston Redskins owner George Preston Marshall, and Eddie Rickenbacker raised money to return international racing to Long Island. 1908 Vanderbilt Cup winner George Robertson was vice president and general manager, overseeing construction of the four-mile Roosevelt Raceway in Westbury. It was adjacent to Roosevelt Flying Field, where Lucky Lindy departed for a trip to Paris in 1927.
Mark Linenthal, an architect and friend of Marshall, was hired to design the course, and famous board track huckster and compulsive gambler, Art Pillsbury, was retained as consultant. Considering the results, and the fact Pillsbury lived in L.A, while Linenthal resided in New York, possibly, the two never communicated. The Vanderbilt track was a four-mile course with a single 3775-foot straightaway and sixteen completely unbanked corners, ten of which are best described as "hairpin."
Founders envisioned a world-class facility, with wide turns, well equipped garages, massive double-decked grandstands, a posh clubhouse, generous parking and thoroughfares to deal with anticipated traffic. Like Willie K, the Roosevelt bigwigs wished to attract the east coast social set, not the dirt track fans that supported racing through the Depression.
Never sure whether they wished to revive the Vanderbilt Cup or the Grand Prize, organizers first announced a 400-mile race, then, revised it to 300, set for Columbus Day, 1936. A massive purse and personal clout attracted Europe's top teams and America's dirt and championship drivers answered the call.
Like many manufacturers, Alfa Romeo stopped fielding a factory team in 1932. Instead, Scuderia ("stable") Ferrari was Italy's national team, featuring legendary racers Tazio Nuvolari, Antonio Brivio, and Nino Farino, campaigning Alfa 12-cylinder, 36-valve, 4.1 liter engines, 4-wheel independent suspensions, and 5-speed gearboxes.
Pat Fairfield, Earl Howe, and Brian Lewis started in supercharged 1.5-liter ERAs (English Racing Automobiles). Lewis had been slated to pilot his Bugatti Type 59, but Louis Meyer, bumming a ride, wrecked it in practice. Lewis took Major S.S. Cotton's ride. Essentially on holiday, these Brits were all rich kids, and amateurs, ready to take on America's dirt track pros, often, with twice the engine displacement.
At the time, the only way for European teams to come to America was to ride the boat across the big pond, and they did. Three more Bugattis and four Maseratis started. The Germans played possum at the time, and the French were curiously missing.
The Americans weren't. Wilbur Shaw's "money car" qualified for the front row. American dirt cars did well in qualifying. Ted Horn ran his Stevens-Miller, as did Jimmy Snyder and Tony Gulotta. Floyd Davis, George Shafer, Bruce Carew, and Russ Snowberger brought Rigling chassis, derived from the Studebaker Indy cars. Frank Brisko piloted the Four-Wheel Miller that he spent three years of his life fixing. The Chicago contingent, Henry Banks and Emil Andres, campaigned Emil Diedt's designs. Four Duesenbergs qualified. Wild Bill Cummings, Shorty Cantlon, Joel Thorne, Babe Stapp, and Billy Winn all showed up to represent their country.
Armed with toenail clippers, the Americans marched into the gunfight at the OK Corral. Ignoring the fact that AAA cars used one or two gears, and crude, stiff suspensions, the speedway racers were still two-man cars, often, twice the size of the European entries. The dirt cars weren't supercharged, and ran at a disadvantage of 200 hp down the one long straight, where a faster car could gain an advantage.
In practice, no one could turn a lap above Nuvolari's 69.9 mph. The local press mused that motorists traveled faster on the Long Island Motor Parkway than the pros could muster on the brand new Roosevelt Speedway.
Although Americans sat in the front rows for the 1936 Vanderbilt Cup, the sporty European cars quickly came up to speed. Count Antonio Brivio set the target for the twenty-mile qualifying run, with an average speed of 67 mph in one of the Alfa Romeo supercharged 4.1 liter Grand Prix cars. Dirt tracker Billy Winn showed the visitors how to slide through the turns to take 2nd spot. Wilbur Shaw's catfish-faced "money car" could only turn left, but lined up 3rd. Americans George Connor, Deacon Litz, Al Putnam, and Phil Shafer took the next four spots, all with big two-man Indianapolis cars. The slowest of the forty-five qualifiers was Lewis Balus' Duesenberg, at 56 mph.
The Italians caught up the next day. Tazio Nuvolari completed his run in 17:09.62, just a tick under 70 mph in another Alfa. On pole day, Nuvolari's transmission had failed. His teammate and protégé, Nino Farina, was fifteen seconds behind. The Bugattis, Maseratis, and the Brittish ERAs continued to struggle.
Nuvolari's fame was unmatched in Italy, where they loved fast cars as much as Americans loved baseball. The Flying Mantuan captured the 1932 European driving title for Alfa Corse. When Alfa decided they had nothing left to prove, and stopped sponsoring the factory team, Nuvolari piloted Maseratis. For the 1935 season, he returned to team Ferrari. There were rumors that Enzo Ferrari didn't want the high profile driver, but Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini persuaded him.
The 12-cylinder Alfa was an old design and the new German cars were faster. Developing 370 hp at 5800 rpm, they weren't as powerful as the Miller engines in the Indy cars, but were more than six hundred pounds lighter, and more aerodynamic, due to the small outline. The four-speed gearbox, independent suspension, and oversize brakes were a huge advantage on the Roosevelt Raceway hairpin curves.
Nuvolari was described as determined, iron-willed, and incredibly athletic. On May 8, practicing for the Tripoli race, he cracked two vertebrae in a practice wreck. He raced the next day in a body cast. Also seldom mentioned is that Nuvolari dropped a cylinder a few laps into the Vanderbilt Cup race.
The "Madman from Modena" was an Italian hero because he ignored adversity, and stepped up to each challenge, even to the impossible. He was coming off a season of wins at Nurburgring, Barcelona, Budapest and Milan against the mighty German Mercedes and Auto Union teams. After a newspaper erroneously reported his death, Nuvolari quipped, "When someone announces my death, you have to wait three days before crying. Everything is possible!" The Vanderbilt Cup was over when Nuvolari stepped off the boat.
Billy Winn gave the American fans someone to cheer. With a single gear and no brakes to speak of, Winn didn't bother to slow for the curves, and loved to hound the Italians, who quickly pronounced him "crazy." For the first 17 laps, Winn and Farina staged a spirited game of "chicken" for 3rd, until Mr Wall grabbed the Italian on the west curlicue. With no chance of catching Nuvolari, or Jean-Pierre Wimille's suddenly potent Bugatti, Winn held stride until lap 64 of 75, when a blowout doomed him to 28th. One of only two Frenchmen to enter, Wimille sported a Roots-supercharged 4.7 liter engine capable of 400 hp, but old leaf-spring suspension. The same car, allegedly, won Paris' Coupe des Prisonniers, the first European race after WW2, in September of 1945. Wimille died racing in Argentina, three years later.
Shaw was first out, crashing on the second lap. Nuvolari led all 75 laps, the fastest above 70 mph. For four and a half hours, he never missed a shift, averaging an incredible 66 mph. Wimille trailed by more than eight minutes and two laps, with Brivio another lap down.
Wild Bill Cummings was the first American to cross the line, twenty-five minutes behind. Attendance was estimated at 50,000. New York millionaires were tough to find in 1936. Clearly, changes were necessary for the Vanderbilt Cup to survive on Long Island.

La, la, today's just another pretty August day where the cool breeze creeps in—hinting that hockey season's coming soon—and ruffles your hair for a second before you realize that the wind is lying and that hockey's not coming back until 2013 because the owners lie to themselves.
But if the nice weather leads you to indulge your naivete, or if you merely search for a hockey-like substitute, take Friday afternoon's Twitter spat as evidence that our game is not dead yet:
In May, a few weeks before LA's coronation,we wrote about the team's Twitter account and how it lets us glimpse the future of media in pro sports. We explained how teams will fight online and on-ice. Alas, for the foreseeable future, things'll be online-only. So you better learn to like it.
