The doctors Burt and Breck were practicing Uroscopy, the practice of divining diseases by examining only a patient's urine. Uroscopy dates to medieval times. Burt and Breck describe their methods as "German," probably a reference to the practices popularized in 1770s London by Dr. Theodor Myersbach. Criticism increased in the decades following as uroscopy was denounced as quack medicine. But uroscopy served an important purpose: it did not require the physical examination of the patient. In a society where physical modesty was very important, especially for women, that kind of "hands off" medical care had tremendous appeal.

Rescue on Fractalus! Trivia (ZX Spectrum)

User Score
5 point score based on user ratings.
Cancelled portsThere were plans to port this game to the Atari 7800. A prototype was started but it was never completed or released.
CreditsRescue comes from the time when Atari would not allow game developers to have credit in their games, so like many games of that era credits were hidden inside the game. Typing "author" on the title screen of the Atari 800 version would display "BY D.FOX L.CARPENTER C.KELLNER P.LANGSTON" on the bottom of the screen. The manual describes the Jaggi as coming from the Tepdi Vad Neroleil Rahcre star system, which, reversed and shifted over two letters, reads Charlie Loren David Peter. Finally, the symbols on the shirt of the alien Jaggis are the letters LC DF CK PL, the initials of the team, rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.
DevelopmentAccording to designer David Fox, the game was originally meant to be set in the Star Wars universe. However, Lucasfilm Ltd. did not allow this because at the time the real money was earned with licensing fees. Also the first prototype of the game did not feature a fire button because of Fox's pacifist attitude. It was added after a meeting with George Lucas during which he asked if the fire button is missing because of gameplay or philosophical reasoning.
GraphicsAs the name suggests, this game uses a fractal generator to render the mountains. The use of fractals was suggested by Loren Carpenter. Carpenter was not actually part of the game development team but had previously worked on computer graphics used in films such as Return of the Jedi.
JaggisThe name of the alien menace, the Jaggi, is derived from a rivalry between the Lucasfilm Games and Lucasfilm Computer divisions. The term "jaggies" refers to the visible pixels on the edges of objects that are most prominent on low resolution displays. Since Lucasfilm Computer were working with high tech rendering computers, and millions of colors, they could blend the colors of an object and the background with anti-aliasing, making the individual pixels less noticeable and removing jaggies. Lucasfilm Games, working on the Atari 800, had only four colors at their disposal, which made anti-aliasing impossible. Therefore they named the aliens Jaggi, because that was the only way they could destroy jaggies in the game.
LucasfilmRescue on Fractalus! along with Ballblazer were the first games developed by Lucasfilm Games.
PiracyRescue was released to software piracy circles months before the game's release. According to David Fox the leak came from somewhere in Atari, because their near-final beta version of the game was mailed to Atari on a disk with no copy-protection.

Actually, I'm sure he's jealous of all of us. My friend in med school came back home to visit. He showed me a "get faster at speed reading" book asking me to read it as fast and coherently as possible. He had me read two pages. Apparently I scored high...really high.
"Dude, how in the hell did you do that? I'm not even half your speed."
"No, you are anything but a genius. You've read these before haven't you?"
"Nope, and I have no reason to lie about it."
"Why do you read so fast?"
I noticed he jelly. He works his ass off to keep up in school, and I'm sure he hated that a local sub-salary man such as myself was better than him at something he tried for school. ...then the realization hit.
"Dude, when a chick in an anime blows up and starts ranting at full throttle, AND you can read the subtitles effortlessly, come back and we'll go at it again."
He facepalms.
Mfw------> :3
I'm sure others have noticed their reading speed go up?
Is he excited, or very very very cold?
I actually noticed my reading speed go up by only having access to longer books for a few hours at a time, and learning to read them in that short amount of time.
Yeah, my friend couldn't stress how important it was for him to get into speed reading. He said it's impossible to keep up in all the classes he signed up for with an average reading speed.
Is he excited, or very very very cold?
my speed in reading is good my memory over what i just read is not lol. thats why i only really speed read when i'm reading for enjoyment.
When I first saw the title I thought that you're gonna talk about speed reading technics. Anyhow you're right. Reading anime subtitles improves your reading speed. Though it's nothing really special. It's also good for us foreigners to improve our English. As I mentioned theres a speed-reading technic when you need to read a vast amount of books. Diagonal reading and photoreading. Search google
Lost in World of Digits
Well yeah, I guess that reading subs on anime does help your improve your speed of reading...but to be honest, I think I've always been a fast reader.
I've always done a lot of reading, so if there was any progress, I haven't noticed.
My parents got me training for speed reading when I was a kid. When I was in seventh grade I was reading at a junior college level. Now with going after a second degree and work I can't read as much as I used to but I still try to get through 2-3 novels a week. Just this last week from 4/6 I've read Cold Days and Ever After by Jim Butcher and Kim Harrison respectively.
From a place you will not see, a sound you will not hear.
Corporations don't want employees with reading skills they want texting and social media skills. Right?
Reading speed still the same
You can only get up there by constantly reading. By the time people now in college want to speed read a book they're being assigned that quarter, it's already too late.
I've never had problems with being unable to finish reading assigned material. I consider reading the easy and enjoyable part. I used to read about 20-30 books every 1-2 weeks when I was in elementary school, which certainly helped set up a stronger foundation.
To be honest, people nowadays are mostly absolute slobs when it comes to English and literature and related things. It's no wonder most people read so slowly I want to stab them. I simply can't imagine reading as slowly as some people do. No way in hell. I mean, geez, you SPEAK this language and you've been writing in it every day. Can't you at least read faster than 40 words per minute without getting confused?
Conjuring up the past is not remembering; it is replacing.
I've never had trouble with speed reading either since I've been a bookworm since birth. Reading almost everything a library can offer you at a young age really helps you pick up the pace and better yet, sets up a strong foundation as Morbidhanson says. Lucky me. As for watching anime, reading off the subtitles only helped me get better at multitasking.

Wrestling Post !! Raw Celebrates 20 Years + 12 Days Til Royal Rumble
WWE 'Raw' still running wild after 20 years
Published: January 14, 2013 11:21 AM
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Photo credit: AP | Alberto Del Rio flips over the top of Rey Mysterio as they fall out of the ring during the WWE Monday Night Raw in St. Louis. (July 23, 2012)
WWE superstars such as John Cena and Big Wrestlers meet with U.S. troops John Cena and The Rock exchange their trademark WrestleMania 28: The People's Elbow The quot;Rated-R Superstar,quot; former WWE star Edge, meets Kidsday on Edge
John Cena celebrates over a fallen Mark Henry WWE superstar John Cena Dwayne Johnson arrives at the premiere of Walt Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Hulk Hogan fires up the crowd between matches Classic Wrestlemania photos
PHILADELPHIA - Let's put this just how "Stone Cold" Steve Austin would quiz all his fans on Monday nights.
If you think World Wrestling Entertainment's "Raw" is the original wild and live sports entertainment show where anything can happen and any personality from The Rock to Bob Barker can show up on any given Monday night, then give me a "Hell yeah!"
(This is the part where thousands of fans at the arena and millions more watching at home repeat back his catchphrase).
Then it's agreed: There's nothing on TV quite like the promotion's flagship show, the one that rocketed Austin and
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson into stardom, shook the wresting industry out of its staid Saturday morning ways, and filled highlight reels for 20 years with over-the-top personalities, eye-popping feats, total silliness, outrageous storylines, and memorable matches -- with so much more yet to come.
From its birth on Jan. 11, 1993, "Raw" set out to be a special kind of wrestling show, from the name, to the locale and the live action.
"Welcome everyone, to Monday Night Raw!" announcer Vince McMahon bellowed. "We are live from New York City!"
Since that greeting, "Raw" has become as much a fixture on Monday nights as the NFL and remains one of the highest-rated weekly shows on cable television. The 20th anniversary show Monday on USA is about as big as two behemoth Big Shows -- episode
No. 1,025 -- and the promotion has long outlasted its closest competitor. Heck, it even changed its name from the World Wrestling Federation over that span. In the anything-goes reality landscape of Honey Boo Boo and Snooki, the WWE has proved there's still room on the dial for Hornswoggle and The Funkasaurus.
"We're an animal of entertainment," WWE star John Cena said.
Oh, he's right. "Raw" has had an Animal. And a Hawk. HBK and RVD. I.R.S and C.M. Punk. A lord of darkness. An Olympic gold medalist. "Raw" has been more welcoming than the United Nations. It takes all types of revolving characters to endure 20 years in prime time and WWE has found a way to make the mix of gimmicks work.
"It's successful because it changes with the times," said Punk, the longest-reigning WWE champ of the "Raw" era. "It's not just a wrestling show, it's a complete spectacle."
The bulk of pro wrestling television before the 1990s was mostly one-hour weekend shows filled with noncompetitive matches in which a superstar would squash some enhancement talent. WWE, though, had been a staple on Monday night's since "Prime Time Wrestling" debuted on USA Jan. 1, 1985. The show featured taped matches from arenas around the country before the format for the weekly wrestling show was revolutionized with "Raw."
The one-hour debut aired live from New York's Manhattan Center and kicked off an uncooked, uncut and uncensored slice of wrestling history with the 500-pound Yokozuna making quick work of Koko B. Ware ("Go get him, Birdman!" McMahon exhorted from the broadcast booth).
Punk, who knew at the time he wanted to become a pro wrestler, appreciated the quick shift into more main event quality matches. Ric Flair vs. Mr. Perfect and Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannetty were early indicators to Punk this was not a normal wrestling show.
Wrestling fans and promoters took notice.
Ted Turner's now-defunct World Championship Wrestling would follow with a Monday night show ("Nitro") that heated up the race for ratings and marquee talent. The Philadelphia-based Extreme Championship Wrestling carved a niche with its hardcore style.
Soon, one wrestler would turn "Raw" into a phenomenon.
The foul-mouthed anti-hero interrupted a Mike Tyson segment in the buildup toward 1998's WrestleMania. Tyson shoved Austin to start a wild melee and the WWE's "Attitude Era" was soon in full swing. Austin easily became WWE's biggest star in 20 years of "Raw." The Rock, Mick Foley, Degeneration X, and The Undertaker rumbled their way up toward 9 million viewers for one 1999 show. McMahon shed his good guy announcer's gig to become the hated boss who messed with Austin at every edge-of-the-seat turn.
"We were editing the ECW television show. We had 'Nitro' on one monitor and 'Raw,' on the other," WWE personality and former ECW owner Paul Heyman said. "When I saw Steve (confront) Mike Tyson, I realized we have entered into a new era and Steve Austin is leading the way."
WCW would go out of business and so would ECW. By mid-2001, WWE was left without any serious competition.
The show expanded to two hours a couple of years after its 1993 debut, then jumped to three hours for the 1,000th episode in July 2012. "Raw" also left USA for TNN in 2000 before returning to its original cable network home in 2005.
"RAW" turned to guest hosts for a spell, where stars as varied as Barker, Shaquille O'Neal, Snoop Dogg, Johnny Damon and Jewel did everything from backstage segments to making matches.
The early years of "RAW" marked the end of the cartoon characters that made up the "Say your prayers" heyday of Hulk Hogan before giving way to the rebellious Austin. Cena has led a shift to more PG family-friendly programming -- though the cage matches and brutal battles still remain -- over the last 10 years.
"We have fans who loved the 'Attitude Era' and still watch today, that are upset with where the product is," Cena said.
"But we have a lot of newer, younger fans, and more family fans, that are now introduced to a product they never would have thought to watch before."
The frivolity has paused through the years when life hasn't followed the script.
"Raw" held tributes following the deaths of Owen Hart and Eddie Guerrero. A similar show that aired for Chris Benoit was denounced the next night by McMahon after it came out the wrestler had killed his wife and his young son before committing suicide.
Long-time wrestler and announcer Jerry "The King" Lawler collapsed with a mild heart attack while calling the show in September 2012. He returned to the air in November.
Lawler, who said he won't stop wrestling, has called more "Raw" matches than anyone over the last 20 years.
"I'm the voice of the fans," Lawler said. "I just try and react to what I see like most of the fans would."
Fans still tune in: last week's show averaged 4.42 million viewers, a stout number against the BCS championship game.
The third hour, highlighted by a confrontation between Punk and The Rock, averaged 4.65 million viewers. Alabama's 42-14 rout over Notre Dame drew 26.4 million viewers. "Raw" was the highest-rated, non-sports programming cable show of the night.
"We still feel like we're an underdog and we have to work harder to get attention," Foley said. "But enough people give us attention. Our biggest report card comes from our fans."
At a recent "Raw" stop at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center, some building employees couldn't help but gawk as they walked by the oversized wrestlers stretched out on a sofa for interviews.
"I see you guys everywhere," one small child said.
"We are everywhere!" a smiling Lawler replied.
For 20 years and counting, the biggest stars always been found on Monday nights.
WWE Power Rankings: Del Rio, Cena rise
More @ source #2
CM Punk and The Rock maintain their spots, while John Cena rises after a strong "Raw" showing.
What a difference a week makes. Since ESPN's first WWE Power Rankings, we've seen a new World Heavyweight Champion, a new Divas Champion, Eve Torres quit the company, Ric Flair pass the figure-four torch to The Miz, Dolph Ziggler's shockingly white (I'm talking Sheamus pale!) backside debut inside a steel cage and Mick Foley announced as the first inductee into WWE's 2013 Hall of Fame.
We also saw a fun night of memories, matches and mayhem on the 20th anniversary show of "Raw," with flashbacks triggering reminders of Edge and Lita's wedding (complete with Kane tombstoning the priest) and Stone Cold showing Mike Tyson his signature style of sign language.
It's the induction of Mick Foley that I'd like to focus on for a second, though, as this is a guy who was not only thrown off the Hell in a Cell roof for your enjoyment, but he also rolled on thumbtacks, flew into barbed wire and was speared through a flaming table just to leave his mark on the business.
But Foley is more than just a walking medical chart of bruises and broken bones, as he also provided some of the funniest and most honest moments I can remember throughout all my years watching WWE, and it's because of these rare glimpses inside the mask that Foley stands out as truly one of the great ones (top 50 all-time).
Mick Foley to Enter WWE Hall of Fame: Top 5 Potential Inductors
Big Nasty
The WWE recently announced that Mick Foley has earned a well-deserved Hall of Fame induction. Mick Foley teased uncertainty toward the induction on his Twitter account, but only one question remains: Who will induct the hardcore legend?
An intriguing list of names comes to mind given Foley's tenured history in professional wrestling. From former rivals to famous allies, Foley's short list of likely inductors is a list of Hall of Famers itself.
Those eligible to induct Foley have a well-documented history with the artist formerly known as Cactus Jack for better or worse. They would also be able to make a formidable speech of the many accolades that have made Foley a Hall of Fame inductee.
5. The Undertaker
The Undertaker and Mick Foley took hardcore wrestling to a new level with their Hell in a Cell match in 1998. Their rivalry from 1996 to 1998 is widely considered one of the top rivalries in pro wrestling history.
The Undertaker is a prime candidate to induct Foley from a historical standpoint. But the WWE's tireless dedication to The Undertaker's supernatural character will limit him from such a human act.
One of The Undertaker's last kayfabe-breaking interviews came in 2010, and other such instances are few and far between.
4. Tony Schiavone
Mick Foley's finest hour was nearly soiled the night he won the WWE championship. During the famed Monday Night Wars between WCW Nitro and WWE Raw, Tony Schiavone was produced to give away the result of Foley's pre-taped victory.
The bush league move backfired when droves of viewers switched channels to spark a ratings victory for WWE Monday Night Raw.
Tony Schiavone would be an ironic candidate to induct Foley, and though their notable history is quite brief, it certainly is significant.
3. Paul Bearer
Paul Bearer was referred to as "Uncle Paul" when Mick Foley portrayed the Mankind character. Paul Bearer joined forces with Mankind after an unthinkable heel turn on The Undertaker after a five-year alliance.
Bearer's history with Mick Foley didn't include very many iconic moments, however, and in Bearer's lengthy managerial career, he is more closely associated with The Undertaker than Mick Foley.
2. The Rock
The Rock will obviously be on hand during WrestleMania weekend. He'll be the guy breaking box office records while the WWE continues to hemorrhage in-house star power.
The Rock joined up with Mick Foley to form the Rock N' Sock connection, one of the most entertaining tag teams in WWE history.
The two teamed together sporadically from 1999 to 2004, and their partnership included a memorable "This Is Your Life" segment.
The Rock makes sense schedule-wise and based on his friendship with Mick Foley.
1. Terry Funk
Mick Foley and Terry Funk had every type of relationship two pro wrestlers can have. They've been rivals, allies, tag team partners and they even share a mentor-student type of relationship based on their hardcore styles.
Both men share the "hardcore legend" namesake and have had a litany of brutal matches over the course of more than a decade.
As a WWE Hall of Famer himself, and one of the all-time greatest in-ring performers, Terry Funk inducting Mick Foley would serve as an ultimate honor.

iPhone unlock team strikes again
SDK for unofficial code
A hotly anticipated development kit for hacking your iPhone and bypassing Apple's official application store has been released.
The PwnageTool is a Mac OS-X-based SDK from the iPhone Dev Team that lets you add "unsigned code" to the iPhone and iPod Touch. This means you don't have to wait for Apple's approval on what you can run or have to download approved applications from the App Store. A version for Windows is expected in the next 24 hours.
The SDK will be useful to anyone who wants to make software for the iPhone. Those who snapped up Apple's official iPhone SDK and registered for the iPhone developer program have been left in the dark over whether can build applications with Apple's imprimatur.
The urge to bypass official channels is strong. The iPhone Dev Team, which last year developed the iPhone unlock tool, says hundreds of thousands of users had unlocked their phone.
Hacks built with PwnageTool cannot be broken by subsequent Apple updates, the team claims.
PwnageTool can be downloaded here.®

Friday night there were approximately 200 Lady Bisons fans in attendance for the 1-0 Atlantic Sun Conference win at North Florida.
Six of the Lady Bisons are from the Jacksonville area. Parents and friends of those players made it a home field advantage for the Lady Bisons. Sunday afternoon at 1 the Lady Bisons play Jacksonville (7-6-4, 4-1-4, A-Sun). Coach Jon Ireland is hopeful that another big crowd will be there to support his team.
"It was more fans than we get at some of our homes games," said Ireland. "It was incredible. We probably had more fans than North Florida did.
"The parents really talked about the game with their friends and there were a lot of high school friends of our players. When our players went over to thank the fans the applause from the fans was huge. It was really neat for our Florida girls, but also for our whole team."
It was the second A-Sun win of the season for the Lady Bisons. Getting a victory in an area that has become a center for recruiting was also a plus.
"We have gotten several kids out of the area," said Ireland. "There were several high school kids watching the game so it was great to win from that standpoint."
Freshman goalkeeper Erin Zerio earned her first shutout of her college career, stopping three shots. This was the third straight game that Zerio has played all 90 minutes in net after playing most of the season in a split-shift situation with freshman Ally Marler.
"Erin has been playing really well," said Ireland. "Early in the season she and Ally both had their moments, but they also really struggled.
"I didn't want to just hand someone the key because there was so much pressure. I think splitting time was the best thing we could have done. As time went on we felt Erin was ready to go and we wanted to use Ally on the field."
While Ireland would like to duplicate the winning outcome against Jacksonville, he admits the North Florida game was less than perfect.
"It was kind of a sloppy game," said Ireland. "It was really windy. The field was really hard. The ball bounced all over the place. It was not real easy to control. But like I told our girls after the game, a win is a win."
The Lady Bisons were outshot 13-4, but only allowed three shots on goal. Two of the Lady Bisons shots were determined to be shots on goal.
When sophomore forward Meghan McGuire scored at 73:21 of the second half Ireland was concerned about how his team might respond defensively.
"North Florida had very few good opportunities to score," said Ireland. "The best thing for us is that we played great defense. "We scored with a quite a bit of time left in the second half. I wondered if we could hold the lead. With so many freshmen on the team I wondered if we would be disciplined. And we gave up very shots in the second half."
McGuire became the fourth Lady Bisons player to score two or more goals this season. Kate Spellman was credited with the assist as McGuire headed the ball into the net off of a corner kick.
"Meghan scored a beautiful goal," said Ireland. "Right before that we had a corner kick and we hit the post. Kate played a beautiful ball to the back post and Meghan got up and won the header. She and Katie Wood are our best players in winning headers. It was great to see her step up."
The Lady Bisons have won four games, tying for the season high for wins as a program. With only two games left to play Ireland would like to win at least five.
"This is the third year we have won four games," said Ireland. "We have a chance to get that fifth one. Considering how young we are to win five games would be huge."

The veteran left-hander compiled a 9-3 record this season while sporting a 3.63 earned-run average that was fourth amongst league leaders. Balbach produced seven complete-game efforts in 14 starts on the way to logging the third-most innings (91.2) in the conference. Following his selection to the 2010 All-NEC First Team, Balbach continued his winning ways in the postseason. The senior southpaw went the distance, tossing 141 pitches, to notch an 8-3 victory over eventual-league champion Central Connecticut State at the 2010 NEC Tournament. Pitching best during the season's stretch run, Balbach went 4-0 with a 1.85 ERA in his last six starts. Studying Business, Balbach accounted for a 3.77 grade-point average.
Garcia caps another award-winning spring by claiming the men's golf Scholar-Athlete honor. After being named the 2009 NEC Rookie of the Year, Garcia added a second consecutive all-NEC second team selection to his resume in 2010. He carded a three-round score of 232 to crack the Top 25 at this year's Northeast Conference Championship. He shot a season-best round of 70 on three separate occasions, one of which was part of a third-place individual finish at the New England Division I Championship. Garcia has declared a major in Biological Sciences and maintains a 3.71 grade-point average.
It's been quite a spring for Sacred Heart's Katz, the winner of the men's lacrosse Scholar-Athlete award. En-route to earning all-NEC first team honors, Katz tallied a career-high 32 goals and led the Pioneers in scoring for a third consecutive season. He totaled 116 points (78 G, 38 A) in 53 career games at Sacred Heart. Two different organizations (NEILA and USILA) named the veteran attacker to their All-Star Game. Katz tallied two goals and an assist in the USILA North-South All-Star Game before becoming the second player in Sacred Heart history to be selected in the Major League Lacrosse Draft. The fifth-round choice of his hometown Long Island Lizards, Katz was the 28th player overall selected in this year's draft. The Business major posted a 3.28 grade-point average and was named both a USILA Scholar All-American and a NEILA Scholar-Athlete.
All Scholar-Athlete award winners must have earned a minimum of 60 semester hours and held a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.20, while participating, with distinction, as a member of a varsity team.

Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Vote coming on House's Hassan-like budgetBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
March 31. 2013 1:22AM
Spring training is over for the Legislature, and the game that counts is about to begin.
The House will vote on its budget proposal this week, scheduled for Wednesday, after its Appropriations and Ways and Means committees have worked since February to adjust the budget Gov. Maggie Hassan proposed.
Much has been made about the $80 million in casino gambling licensing fees Hassan included in her proposal that House budget writers did not.
The expectations were that committee members would either increase revenue or cut spending.
House budget writers did a little of both, but what they will present this week looks remarkably like the budget the new governor proposed six weeks ago, although with about $52 million less in spending, which is not a lot in a $2.8 billion two-year budget.
The House made no changes to several key areas of Hassan's budget, including upgrading the state's mental health system and adding money to end a waiting list for services for developmentally disabled people, fund the community college system and the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program, and expand the state's Medicaid program under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
Budget writers did cut $12 million from the University System of New Hampshire, $9 million from Aid to the Permanently and Totally Disabled, $9 million from the Disproportionate Hospital Share Program, $7.2 million for school building aid and $2.5 million for new charter schools.
They also decided to use the Medicaid Enhancement Tax to fund a greater share of health provider payments and reduce the general fund money for the uncompensated care program for hospitals, saving about $50 million in general funds combined.
Budget writers added 10 cents to the tobacco tax, above the 20 cent increase the House had already approved, providing an additional $20 million, and added a one-time payment of $17 million from a new settlement with tobacco companies.
And for good measure, budget writers put the 12 cent gasoline tax over three years, which the House passed last week, into the trailer bill containing changes in law needed to make the budget work.
Much of what is in and out of the House's budget has a lot to do with what the Senate is expected to do with the budget once it comes over from the House.
Putting the gas tax increase in the budget allows the House to keep the issue alive when House and Senate negotiators sit down in June to work on a budget compromise.
If the Senate - as expected - kills the specific gas tax bill, the tax will still be part of the discussions.
The same is true for the tobacco tax increase. It is going to increase 10 cents in August anyway, and the Senate may have been persuaded to bump it up a little more, but not 20 cents a pack more.
Putting the 30 cent increase in the budget keeps the discussion going.
Another bargaining chip is the charter school money and the moratorium on new charter schools the House has in its budget.
House leaders know the Senate is likely to want the additional money for new charter schools that Hassan included in the budget and may agree with some of her provisions giving the state Board of Education more flexibility to determine whether new charter schools are needed in geographic and subject matter areas.
Funding the LCHIP program at Hassan's level is another issue that may draw fire in the Senate, along with the additional money for the mental health system and developmentally disabled wait list.
The Senate, which passed a casino gambling bill supported by Hassan, has said it will not put the gambling bill into the trailer bill, but the members may change their minds when they see what the House has done.
Last week, the Senate tabled the Moose Scholarship program, the pet project of Senate Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Morse, R-Salem, so the House couldn't kill it and instead the Senate could put it in its budget.
The chess match has begun, but you can be sure the Republican-controlled Senate's budget will be substantially less than the Democrats' House budget proposal.
- - - - - - - -
CAPITAL BUDGET: The state's capital budget went largely unnoticed until last week, when the House Public Works and Highway Committee approved the $124 million plan.
Much like the operating budget, the capital budget up for a vote by the House Wednesday is very similar to Hassan's plan.
The linchpin of the capital budget is a women's prison slated to be built next to the men's prison in Concord.
The women's prison has long been the Department of Corrections' top priority, but lawmakers had pushed it aside in favor of other projects.
Women prisoners and their families finally filed suit, saying they could not access the same programs as men because of the inadequate Goffstown facility.
Now a new women's prison is the top priority, costing $38 million, roughly a third of the entire capital budget for the upcoming biennium.
Other big money in the capital budget is renovating and updating the regional technical centers in Whitefield and Salem, at about $24 million.
It also includes three new liquor stores in Salem, Epping and Warner. The total capital projects for the liquor commission would be nearly $20 million, though the bonds for those projects would be paid with liquor revenues, not general funds.
The big loser in the capital budget is the university system, which has been receiving about $35 million each biennium for capital projects but would receive $7.5 million this time.
As in the operating budget, the community college system fairs better, receiving $13 million. What once was referred to as "the UNH mafia'' is no longer in charge.
The capital budget includes $472,445 - about half of what Hassan wants - to repair the State House's gold dome. The gold leaf is flaking.
A new voting machine and software for the House is also included, costing $540,000. That could be an easy target for the Senate Capital Budget Committee, but the thought of doing voice roll calls in the 400-member House late into a very warm June evening ought to scare everybody.
- - - - - - - -
ON A ROLL: Putting gambling aside for a few days, Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester, and his family, including his grandson Anthony Smith of Salem, will be at the White House Monday for the annual Easter Egg Roll.
Smith, whose story led Marvel Comics to create "Blue Ear," a hearing-aid-wearing super hero, was born with a chromosome disorder that affected his right side.
D'Allesandro said his grandson will wear his Blue Ear costume to the White House event. "He's very excited," D'Allesandro said. "He's a great lesson for all of us."

JUMPING THE GUN: The Manchester Board of Aldermen on Friday sent a letter to House Ways and Means Chairman Susan Almy, D-Lebanon, expressing support for Rep. Patrick Long's amendment to Senate Bill 152, the casino gambling bill the Senate has already passed. Long's amendment would limit the size of non-gambling venues on casino grounds to no more than 1,500 seats.
"The proposed casino gambling legislation could have a detrimental effect on the city of Manchester if it is competing with entertainment acts put on by the casinos. The Verizon Wireless Arena is a municipally owned building, and therefore, it is the responsibility of the city fathers to ensure its economic stability," Maura Leahy, administrative assistant city clerk, wrote for the board. (See related story.)
The problem is the "Long amendment" has not been introduced yet.
Long will be able to introduce it once the House Ways and Means Committee holds a public hearing on the bill and begins discussing it, but the hearing has yet to be scheduled.

HELPING OUT: U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is running for reelection in 2014 and has been receiving lots of help raising money from everyone from her family to Hassan in recent weeks.
Last week, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts helped the effort, sending out a fundraising email.
"I know it is crazy that we're already talking about 2014. I want to focus on banking reform and protecting Medicare and how we're going to put people back to work," Warren wrote. "But the Republicans are already gearing up for a huge fight next year - and they'll do anything they can to defeat our progressive champions like Jeanne Shaheen."
The email went out before the March 31 reporting deadline for federal candidates.
No Republican has officially announced his or her candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat.

KIRKUK, Iraq (AP) — Iraqi police stormed a mall in a northern city that al-Qaida gunmen used to launch an attack on a nearby police station, killing three militants and ending an hourslong standoff as attacks elsewhere left seven dead Thursday, authorities said.
Militants held off police from their rooftop position on six-story Jawahir mall in Kirkuk overnight, throwing down grenades and firing on officers and civilians who tried to flee the fighting. Officers raided the mall Thursday morning before dawn, killing the militants, said Brig. Gen. Sarhad Qadir, Kirkuk's police commander.
No security forces or civilians were wounded in that fighting, Qadir said, though it left large portions of the mall burned. Eleven storekeepers hid inside the mall during the attack, scared to leave, he said.
The fighting in Kirkuk began Wednesday, when authorities said a car bomb exploded at the gates of the Police Intelligence Department. A suicide bomber on foot entered the station and detonated his explosives after that, officials said. The gunmen on the mall's roof then opened fire down on the station, they said.
The police station attack killed five officers and two civilians, while wounding some 70 people, Qadir said. A similar style attack Tuesday on a mayor's office in Tarmiyah killed 10 people, officials said.
In a statement posted on a militant website Thursday, the Iraqi branch of al-Qaida claimed responsibility for the Kirkuk attacks, claiming six suicide bombers took part in the assault on the police station and the mall.
"A suicide bomber exploded his car bomb at the gate of the headquarters, paving the way for his brothers. Then, three attackers stormed the headquarters and started to reap the heads of the tyrants by using assault rifles and hand grenades ... then they set off their explosive belts," the group said.
It said the gunmen in the mall used explosives to kill themselves as police launched their raid.
The authenticity of the statement could not be absolutely verified, though it was posted on a website commonly used by jihadis and its style was consistent with earlier al-Qaida statements.
Meanwhile Thursday, police said gunmen wearing military uniforms stormed the house of a police major in Arej village just south of Mosul, about 350 kilometers (225 miles) northwest of Baghdad. The gunmen killed the police major and his two sons, officials said.
In western Baghdad, a bomb blast on a commercial street killed two people and wounded six, police said. An explosion near shops in the town of Madian, just south of Baghdad, killed two people and wounded six, officials said.
Violence has spiked in Iraq following a security deadly crackdown on a Sunni protest camp in April. More than 8,000 people have been killed since the start of the year, according to United Nations estimates.
Associated Press writer Sameer N. Yacoub in Baghdad contributed to this report.

Discovery links new form of inheritance in yeast to "mad-cow" type diseases
Researchers from the Howard Hughes Institute at the University of Chicago have discovered that a chaperone protein from yeast, which helps proteins to change their shapes, controls a new, protein-only form of inheritance, called a yeast prion. They have now isolated the chaperone and prion proteins and shown that they can produce such shape changes right in the test tube. The chaperone is very specific for certain target proteins and ignores most other proteins in the cell.

Losing Hand
(Charles Calhoun)
Atlantic 1037
Ray Charles had only recently joined the roster of Atlantic Records when he waxed the mournful blues Losing Hand on May 17, 1953 with a New York session crew consisting of saxists Dave McRae, Freddie Mitchell, and Pinky Williams, bassist Lloyd Trotman, drummer Connie Kay, and guitarist Mickey Baker, whose slippery chords cascade downward like thick, murky molasses. Brother Ray didn't use a guitarist on his subsequent Atlantic sides, making Baker's presence quite unusual (arranger Jesse Stone wrote the song under his alias of Charles Calhoun). Ray had yet to explode with his groundbreaking gospel/blues synthesis, although his impassioned vocal and two-fisted piano offered clues as to his immediate future.
"He still was being recorded in the conventional way, like you'd record almost any single singing artist," said Ray's late co-producer, Jerry Wexler. "We got the backing musicians, we got the arranger Jesse Stone, we rehearsed, and so on."
Born in Albany, Georgia on September 23, 1930 but raised in Greenville, Florida, Ray Charles Robinson lost his sight as a child but gained a love for music—blues, boogie-woogie, jazz, country—that was unshakable. He left the state school for the blind at 15, his piano skills already formidable, and somehow made his way cross-country from Jacksonville, Florida to Seattle. Jack Lauderdale of Swing Time/Down Beat Records brought Charles and his McSon Trio aboard in 1949. His first release was a hit and two more after that too, though his predilection for imitating Nat King Cole and Charles Brown hadn't been tamed yet.
Swing Time was experiencing financial difficulties in 1952, so Lauderdale peddled Charles' contract to Atlantic. There Ray would transform R&B with his daring gospel/blues synthesis on the smashes I've Got A Woman, Hallelujah I Love Her So, and What'd I Say (speaking of advancements in electric instrumentation, he played a Wurlitzer piano on the latter). His sessions were like no other at Atlantic.
"They were exciting, edifying, thrilling," said Wexler. "We're talking about Ray Charles. There were no downers. I mean, there was never anything negative or worrying, because Ray Charles had the whole thing figured out from beginning to end. And so, as would be the case with many other sessions, when there had to be some direction from us because we weren't going anywhere, or some changes to be made, that wasn't the case with Ray."
Of course, Ray's ceaseless musical experiments rendered him a superstar right up to his June 10, 2004 death. No wonder they called him a genius.

Egyptian teacher is arrested for offending Islam on Facebook.
Bishoy Kamel, a Coptic-Christian teacher from the Upper Egyptian Governorate of Sohag, was arrested on Monday for sharing cartoons on a Facebook page that allegedly defamed the Islamic faith and the Prophet Muhammad.
Mohamed Safwat, an Egyptian citizen who has pressed charges against Kamel, also claimed that the latter had insulted Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi and members of his own family.
Kamel, who has been detained for four days pending investigation, has admitted to managing the Facebook page in question. He claims, however, that he was not responsible for the content of the page, which, he said, had been hacked on Saturday.
In June of last year, Naguib Sawiris, Coptic billionaire and founder of the liberal Free Egyptians party, was severely criticized after posting a cartoon of Disney characters Mickey and Minnie Mouse dressed in Islamic garb.
Several Islamist lawyers subsequently lodged a complaint with Egypt's attorney-general against Sawiris, whom they accused of offending Islam.
Thousands of men and women all over the world have been arrested, imprisoned, exiled, killed for criticizing Islam. Most people shut their mouth out of fear. Hamza Kashgari in Saudi Arabia who posted blasphemous messages on Twitter was arrested and deported. Indonesian atheist Alex Aan has been sentenced to two and a half years for saying 'There is no god' on Facebook. Muslim Brotherhood already started working for ethnic cleansing of non-Muslims and talibanization of Egypt.
No progress in society is possible if there is no freedom of expression. Islam, like all other religions, is not compatible with democracy, human rights and women's rights. Millions of people should commit blasphemy against Islam for the sake of humanity. How many blasphemers will corrupt and repressive regimes arrest?

Visualization of VTK data
As discussed with you guys I'd like to request a widget for visualizing data in VTK format.
That can be the structure itself (required for e.g. visualizing a Brillouin zone), or a field defined on a structure.
The VTK file format would provide a clean interface between your widgets and our simulator results.
Thanks Sebastian

Celebrity hairstylist Kylee Heath created the hair look for Rosario Dawson at the 2013 Golden Globes. He chose to do a voluminous wave with a subtle side part to play off the modern glam of Rosario's Antonio Berardi dress. He tucked her hair on the right side to showcase the gorgeous Lorraine Schwartz drop earring and the beautiful cut of the neckline.
Here's how Kylee created Rosario's look:
1. First, he started out by prepping damp hair with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Boost & Lift Foaming Air Mousse, specifically at the roots, for lightweight volume.
2. Then, he spritzed sections from the mid shaft through the ends with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Heat Protect & Shine Spray.
3. Kylee then took sections, starting at the nape of the neck, and blow-dried hair with a medium sized boar bristle round brush, mainly focusing on getting lift at the roots while smoothing out the ends.
4. He then curled 2-inch sized sections of hair using a 1¾-inch curling iron. After removing the iron, he lightly sprayed each curl with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Flexible Hold Hairspray and then pinned each section in place. After curling all her hair and letting it cool, he unpinned and brushed each section out with a Mason Pearson brush.

Writing Guidelines
Please keep the following in mind when submitting your work:
The primary audience for the NAEYC blog is early childhood educators—teachers, center directors, college faculty, and students—who visit the naeyc.org website. Families, policymakers, and researchers may also read the blog, in addition to other individuals who are interested in early childhood topics.
The blog increases general awareness and engages the public in thought and discussion around topics and themes related to NAEYC's mission. The blog is a way to share NAEYC initiatives and to explore what's new, upcoming, timely, or topical in the field of early childhood.
Although blog posts can address a wide range of topics related to early childhood education and young children, we are specifically interested in posts that relate to NAEYC initiatives and content.
We also want to focus on topics that generate discussion and engagement. We encourage submissions related to the following broad categories but are open to other ideas as well. In general the NAEYC blog does not publish content or promotional pieces that focus [and promote] on one organization's products or services as editorial content.
I. Early Childhood Education Topics
Blog submissions can provide thoughtful information on a topic and connect to an NAEYC publication or other initiative and engage readers in thoughtful conversation.
II. Personal Reflections, Anecdotal Stories
Blogs can share personal reflections, memories, anecdotes, or humorous stories related to early childhood education and young children. Blog posts can also connect to NAEYC content and initiatives and to the NAEYC community locally across the US.
Focus on a specific idea to keep the blog post brief. Aim to write 500 words or less. Website visitors can comment on a post and authors can respond in turn. Posts can be text only or can include photos or video clips.

PRETORIA, South Africa, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- Model Reeva Steenkamp was shot four times through a bathroom door at the home of South African Paralympics sprinter Oscar Pistorius, an official told CNN.
The 29-year-old model was alive after she was shot and was carried downstairs by Pistorius, who was arrested and charged in her Valentine's Day death, the official said Monday, speaking anonymously because he was not authorized to release details to the media.
Pistorius, 26, a double-amputee national sports hero nicknamed "Blade Runner" because he runs on prosthetic legs, denies killing Steenkamp, a law school graduate, in his house in an upscale gated community on the outskirts of Pretoria, South Africa's administrative capital.
He is charged with murder.
Investigators said an iPad found at the house, along with phones belonging to Pistorius and Steenkamp, were being examined for clues, Britain's Daily Telegraph reported.
A bloody cricket bat is considered key evidence in the case, Johannesburg's City Press newspaper reported.
Detectives were trying to determine whether the bat was used to attack Steenkamp or if she used it in self-defense. Investigators were looking into the possibility that Pistorius used the bat to break down the bathroom door.
City Press said police ordered Pistorius' blood tested for drugs and anabolic steroids in case they need to see if any alleged aggressive behavior might be associated with having taken large steroid doses -- a condition sometimes called "'roid rage."
Pistorius was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday for a bail hearing, CNN reported. South African prosecutors have said they intend to upgrade the charge against him to premeditated murder.
Also Tuesday, Steenkamp is to be buried in a private service in Port Elizabeth, her hometown.
Pistorius said he canceled all of his race plans.
"I have decided that following these tragic events that we have no option but to cancel all future races that Oscar Pistorius had been contracted to compete in," he said in a statement read by his agent, Peet van Zyl, Sunday.
Pistorius has contracts to race in Australia, Brazil, Britain and the United States, van Zyl said.
The action will allow Pistorius to "concentrate on the upcoming legal proceedings," he said.
Sponsors and partners have agreed to maintain their contractual commitments as the legal process continues, he said.
The sprinter's father, Henke Pistorius, told Britain's Sunday Telegraph his son, a gun enthusiast, had accidentally shot Steenkamp, thinking she was an intruder.
"When you are a sportsman, you act even more on instinct. It's instinct -- things happen and that's what you do," the older Pistorius said.
The shooting sent shockwaves through South Africa, where Pistorius had hero status because he was the first disabled athlete to compete in the able-bodied Olympic Games. He competed in the London Games as well as winning two gold medals in the Paralympic Games.
Francois Hougaard, a South African national team rugby player, has denied published reports that his "close relationship" with Steenkamp may have caused trouble between the model and Pistorius, the Telegraph said. He said the three were friends.
