After 10 hours of tedious hand-counting of PalmBeach County ballots yesterday, Vice President Al Gore closed to within fewerthan 300 votes of Texas Gov. George W. Bush in his quest to claim Florida's 25electoral votes - enough to give him the presidency.
Bush's lawyers had filed suit earlier in the day in federal court to forcean immediate halt to the hand-counting of presidential ballots in Palm Beachand three other Florida counties, maintaining that the Republican presidentialcandidate and his running mate would "suffer irreparable harm" if the countchanged the results of Tuesday's election.
But U.S. District Court Judge Donald Middlebrooks put off a hearing on theBush suit until tomorrow in Miami, permitting yesterday's vote-countingsession. Some 4,600 votes were counted by hand - 1 percent of those cast onTuesday - and the county's ballots were once again run through machines. Gorepicked up 787 votes over his total last Tuesday and Bush 105. Of those newvotes, Gore gained 33 from the hand counting yesterday, and Bush 14.
That dropped Bush's overall lead in the state to fewer than 300 votes andprompted Palm Beach County Commissioner Carol Roberts - one of the threeDemocrats on the county canvassing board - to call for a full manual recountof 470,000 ballots, an action strenuously opposed by Charles Burton, aDemocratic Circuit Court judge appointed to the bench by Bush's youngerbrother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
But Roberts' motion carried 2-1, after she argued that Gore's vote pickup,if extropolated to the full county vote would give him a net gain of 1,900votes and would "clearly would affect the result of the election."
The events of the day precipitously heightened the rancor surrounding apresidential election whose outcome has not been determined.
In accordance with Florida state law, the campaign of Vice President AlGore had requested a hand count to examine nearly 80,000 ballots that were notcounted in four counties: Volusia, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade. ButBush and his running mate, former Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, went tofederal court, seeking to override the state statute permitting the handcount.
The candidates' suit maintained that by opening the election to the"subjective interpretation of voters' intent," the hand counts would violatethe constitutional right to equal treatment under the law by "arbitrarilysubject[ing] voters in other counties to unequal treatment."
If the recounts swung Florida's 25 electoral votes to Gore, eventemporarily, Bush and Cheney maintained, there would be "serious damage to thelegitimacy of the presidential election."
Gore campaign officials dismissed the suit as an incursion into Florida'sright to govern its electoral process and predicted that it would bedismissed.
Bush aides have grown increasingly concerned that the hand counts couldswing to Gore a state in which the Texas governor officially leads by 960votes with 66 of 67 counties reporting - and unofficially by 327, according tothe Associated Press. Former Secretary of State James A. Baker III,representing the Bush campaign, complained yesterday that hand counting wouldbe inherently subjective and open to "the potential for mischief."
Machines, in contrast, "are neither Republicans, nor Democrats, andtherefore can be neither consciously nor unconsciously biased," Baker said, ashe announced a lawsuit that "we regret we were compelled to take."
For the Gore campaign, Bush's legal action provided relief from thecriticism that the vice president was dangerously dragging out the election'sproceedings. Though Democratic supporters had filed at least eight lawsuitschallenging the results in Florida, none of those suits was brought by Gore'scampaign. Now, Gore aides said, it was Bush who went to court first.
That gave Gore officials what they believed to be the right to claim themoral high ground in a battle that has been as much about public relations asraw vote totals.
"Throughout this process, we have proceeded on a single fundamentalprincipal: We want the votes, all the votes, cast to be accurately and fairlycounted," said former Secretary of State Warren Christopher, who isrepresenting the Gore campaign in the Florida recount. "The will of the peopleexpressed in accordance with the Constitution should decide who our nextpresident should be."
Added one senior Gore official: "George Bush is always saying he trusts thepeople, not the government. Well, now he seems to be trusting a federal judge,not the people."
At the heart of the dispute are nearly 80,000 ballots that might hold thepresidency in the balance. Gore carries a razor-thin lead in the popular voteof about 200,000 votes nationally, but the winner of Florida will havecaptured enough electoral votes to be the next president of the United States.
New totals in New Mexico yesterday shifted that state's five electoralvotes out of Gore's column and into the undecided category. Gore also appearsto have won Oregon and its seven electoral votes.
Neither of those states matters if Florida can be awarded to one candidateor the other. And the 80,000 discarded ballots loom large. Most of thoseballots were disqualified because the voter punched holes by two presidentialcandidates' names. Democratic officials concede that it would be difficult fora manual recount to determine which candidate the voter intended to back. But26,000 of the ballots were discarded because the electronic counters did notdetect a vote -10,000 in Palm Beach, 10,000 in Miami-Dade and 6,000 inBroward. This means that, in some cases, a discernible mark could be detectedby a person where it couldn't be detected by a machine. Volusia undercountfigures were not available.
As the manual recount began yesterday of a sample of ballots in Palm BeachCounty, teams of Republican and Democratic counters could be seen holdingballots up to the light to find holes that might have slipped by a machine.
The Bush campaign strongly maintained yesterday that the machine recountsthat have taken place in Florida were more than enough. Baker complained thatFlorida law provided no standards for the different counties to determinewhich ballots could be reinstated and on what grounds.
"At this point," Baker said, "a changed result would not be the mostaccurate result, simply the most recent result."
Baker said the legal action would be dropped if Gore would agree to abideby the final machine count, once overseas absentee ballots are tabulatedFriday.
But the Gore camp countered with a timely piece of opposition research: In1997, Bush signed a Texas law decreeing that in the event of a disputedelection, a hand count is preferable to a machine tabulation.
"A manual recount shall be conducted in preference to an electronicrecount," Texas law reads.
Moreover, in Seminole County, just north of Orlando, election officialstook it upon themselves last week to manually examine discarded ballots duringthe county's electronic recount. Bush wound up gaining 98 votes in theRepublican-leaning county.
For Bush, the perils of the manual count are clear. In a hand recount lastyear in a local Palm Beach County race, 16 of 369 discarded ballots - or about4 percent - were reinstated. Two years ago, in Miami-Dade County, about 8percent of the discarded ballots in a state Senate race were reinstated in ahand recount.
If such percentages held in this case, between 3,200 and 6,400 ballotswould be reinstated. And because all four counties conducting manual recountsare heavily Democratic, Gore could easily overcome a Bush lead that for themoment is under 1,000 votes.
Under Florida law, each campaign had 72 hours to request hand recounts, andit appeared yesterday that Bush had missed the deadline to seek manualexaminations in Republican counties.

It looks like banks—those trusty, warm and cuddly institutions we've all grown to love—might be trying to pull a fast one on us for trying to be faster with them.
That's right, banks might start charging you to use their automated teller machines if it's not your bank's ATM. Before you get out your phone book to find out where to call and complain, here's Good Morning America to explain. Listen up, especially if you're pinching pennies for one of those Sony Playstations.
As if.
Can we "scream and holler," as that Internet video segment asks above? Yep, that would probably be a good thing to do. It might save us some time if they try to get tricky in the future.
But, first, let's all congratulate money correspondent Tyler Mathisen on his floral/dove tie. It's so Chandler.
There's one thing I know to be true: ATM fees might come and go. But Friends are forever.

Art with a Splash
Concord couple hopes to make a splash with new Nashua art studio
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
NASHUA — A Concord couple is bringing a fun, creative and artistic business to downtown Nashua, hoping the city will embrace the concept.
Joanne Katherine Wiren and her husband, James, are opening their second paint-and-sip art studio in New Hampshire. Housed at 11 Main St. in Nashua, Art With A Splash is expected to open its doors on Aug. 15.
"We know that Nashua has a good population and some really great art galleries," said Joanne, a jewelry designer. "We are excited to bring some color to the downtown area."
The idea behind their business is a no commitment, one-time art class where people bring their own beverage, learn how to paint and take home a handmade canvas painting.
In addition to the art classes, they host a myriad of special events such as birthday parties, bachelorette parties, work socials, corporate events, date nights, fundraisers and more. It is for people of all ages and artistic abilities.
"This is all about getting your creative juices flowing," Joanne said from her new studio. Paintings such as basic ladybugs, cupcakes and ice-cream cones can be fun activities for the youngsters, while adults might be more inclined to try painting their own version of the Eiffel Tower, a night sky or a city landscape, according to the Wirens.
The couple opened New Hampshire's first paint-and-sip art studio two years ago in Portsmouth, and the idea has been well received, they said.
"I think Nashua needs something like this. I am sure the city is going to enjoy it," said James, an artist for about 40 years.
Together, the Wirens operate Art With A Splash in conjunction with their two daughters, Kelly and Kate Wiren, artists and instructors.
The family business has flourished over the past several years, and the Wirens are thrilled to be opening their second art studio. The concept of sharing a bottle of wine with friends and trying something new seems to appeal to a lot of people looking for a different and adventurous evening out, said Joanne, adding amateur painters are often very impressed with their own masterpieces.
Step-by-step instructions are given to patrons, many of whom have not picked up a paintbrush since kindergarten, she said, and the final products always include individual charm that make each acrylic painting unique and special.
In fact, many of their customers become return clients, according James, who attended the New England School of Art and Montserrat College of Art, learning to perfect portraits, landscapes, still life paintings and abstracts.
Joanne has been focusing her creating talents on designing jewelry for more than six years, while their daughters seem to have followed in their parents' footsteps. Kelly focuses on the special events portion of the family business, and Kate helps with the entertainment aspect.

With Chris Dangerfield and Anthony Passarelli becoming the new faces of the Earthquakes' broadcast on Comcast SportsNet this season, we welcome two new voices to 1590 KLIV radio. Former Earthquakes all-star goalkeeper and Bay Area native, Joe Cannon, will be joining us as color analyst while long-time Earthquakes fan and current sports personality on KNBR, Ted Ramey, will be doing play-by-play.
Cannon played for the Earthquakes from 1999-2002 and 2008-2010. The Los Altos native helped secure the Earthquakes first MLS Cup in 2001 and was named MLS Goalkeeper of the Year while with the club in 2002. He later went on to secure his second Goalkeeper of the Year honor while with the Colorado Rapids in 2004. The MLS veteran played with four different clubs during his tenure - San Jose Earthquakes, Colorado Rapids, LA Galaxy and finally finishing out his career with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC in 2013.
Play-by-play commentator, Ted Ramey, is following in his father's footsteps. His dad, Hal Ramey, is a former Earthquakes broadcaster who used to work alongside Chris Dangerfield in the booth. Ramey grew up going to Earthquakes and Clash games as a kid, and he is currently a sports anchor on KNBR.
The duo will make their Earthquakes broadcast debut this Saturday, March 29, when the Earthquakes take on the New England Revolution at Buck Shaw Stadium (TICKETS). Tune into KLIV to hear the pair starting at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, and make sure to give these two a follow on Twitter at @TedRameyMedia and @JoeCannonGK1!

An approaching cold front looks to produce some showers and thunderstorms Sunday evening, after that a major cool down is coming to East Texas.
A cold front has been pushing closer to East Texas over the past few days and looks to move through Sunday evening, with it coming a few showers and thunderstorms. This front is in association with an upper level trough that has not done much over the past few weeks, but this trough looks to "dig" further south. Usually when this happens, it helps to amplify the intensity of storms on the downwind side of the trough. This is what is shaping up for us.
Some of these storms could be severe with the biggest threat being hail and damaging winds. Ample moisture and instability will aid the development of hail. Some tornadoes are possible, but the threat is still very small. While there is some wind shear (turning winds with height and changing wind speeds with height), it is not all that sufficient to support tornado development. But again tornadoes are not out of the question. Some locally heavy rain is also possible with these storms. Three diagrams depict the chances for these threats in this story.
As these storms develop, some of the models have been indicating that it could develop into a squall line. A squall line is a linear line of showers and thunderstorms which are known for producing strong damaging winds at the surface.
After these storms move through, a big cool down will follow on Monday and Tuesday. We're talking highs in the middle to upper 40s, and lows in the upper 20s. A Canadian air-mass (continental polar air mass, which is a cold and dry air mass) will filter in behind the front over the next few days, mainly due to the northerly winds that will be howling as high as 20mph and gusting as high as 30mph. Some of the models have been indicating a little bit of a mixed precip. falling behind this front first thing Monday morning. The chances for this happening are slim to none, but we'll keep it mentioned in the forecast.
Don't forget you can track these storms throughout the evening using our interactive radar. Also be sure to stay up to date with the latest forecast and our facebook pages: KTRE 9, Brett Collar, Brad Hlozek and Grant Dade.

WORCESTER — A girl fell three stories onto a driveway on Austin Street Wednesday afternoon.
Police, firefighters and paramedics went to a three-decker at 170 Austin St. about 4:15 p.m., where the 2-year-old girl was in the driveway. She was taken by ambulance to a local hospital with injuries that police said were not life-threatening.
Angely Santiago, 11, and Destiny Ortiz, 10, were playing nearby when they saw a window screen fall to the driveway, followed by the girl. They said the girl appeared to have hit a wood railing that runs along the driveway before landing face down in the driveway. An apple core fell out of the window as well, they said.
"I saw that screen fall, then heard a 'kaboom,' " Destiny said.
Destiny said the girl's mother came down and started screaming at a little boy for not watching his sister. Police said the mother told them she had been in the bathroom at the time of the girl's fall.
The girl who fell initially lay silent, then started crying, the older children said. She was bleeding from her forehead, they said.
Detectives interviewed witnesses and went in and out of the house. The screen and apple core remained in the driveway.
"I'm probably going to have nightmares," said Waldemar Martinez, who was outside next door when the girl fell.
Mr. Martinez said he was in the side yard next door with a friend. He walked toward the street, then looked back, and saw the child in the driveway, he said.
He said the girl nearly fell out of the same window about two weeks ago. He said he and others nearby yelled to the girl to get back inside. Mr. Martinez said he guesses someone in the apartment heard the yelling and came and closed the window.
Police left the neighborhood around 5 p.m.
Police said Wednesday night the child was being treated for injuries to her head and ribs.

Usually you can work through problems yourself or with the support of family and friends. But sometimes you may need someone with special skills, training, and experience to help you—a professional you can count on. That's when you may want to talk to a licensed clinical psychologist.
According to the National Institutes of Health, an estimated 22 percent of Americans ages 18 and older need help dealing with feelings and situations that seem beyond their control.
When Is It Time to Contact a Psychologist?
Psychologists see a variety of people for all sorts of reasons including marital and family problems, illness or injury, loss of a loved one, anxiety, loneliness, depression, psychological aspects of medical illnesses, addictions, behavioral problems, disturbances in eating and sleeping, sexual issues, difficulties at work, children's educational problems, and caring for the elderly. Psychologists also assist during a crisis, natural disasters, and terrorism.
Whatever your problems are, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist is someone you can rely on. Together, in a confidential and supportive atmosphere, you and your psychologist will work to understand and resolve problems—problems that, until now, may have resisted your best efforts.
Why Turn to a Clinical Psychologist?
A Clinical Psychologist is a highly trained professional who can evaluate, classify, and treat emotional and behavioral problems.Psychologists receive a median of seven years of education and training beyond their undergraduate degree that includes a doctoral degree from a recognized university. A minimum of two years of supervised clinical experience must be completed in hospitals and other health care settings. Only after passing a state exam can a psychologist practice independently.
What Kind of Treatment Will Be Provided?
Your Clinical Psychologist will interview you about your history and talk with you to define problems and determine the treatment approach that suits you and your needs. Some psychologists may administer a series of psychological tests to assist in the evaluation.
A psychologist might recommend psychotherapy, which is a talking intervention that helps you learn more effective ways of dealing with problems. Your psychologist might also recommend meeting with your entire family or may suggest that you participate in a therapy group. Psychologists sometimes use specialized techniques such as biofeedback, behavioral modification, and stress management training. In some cases the psychologist may refer you to your medical physician for a physical assessment or medication evaluation. For some people, treatment involves only a short term of therapy; for others a longer time will be required to work on problems that have built up over years. The frequency of psychotherapy is typically once or twice a week. Treatment may be provided through outpatient care or in an inpatient setting.
How Helpful Is Psychological Treatment?
A survey performed by Consumer Reports in 1995 showed that almost everyone who sought psychological help experienced some relief that made them less troubled and made their lives more pleasant.
Psychological treatment is a very effective way to get help to deal with life's problems. Psychologists continually conduct research on the effectiveness of treatment and that research is communicated to your therapist. Psychologists refrain from using treatments that are controversial or ineffective.
What to Ask Before or During Your First Appointment
Here are some questions you might ask:
• How many years have you been practicing?• Do you have experience with my particular problem?• How would you approach dealing with my particular problem?• What are your fees?• Do you accept my insurance coverage?
How Do I Pay for Psychological Treatment?
Private insurance sometimes covers part of the cost of mental health services. The best way to verify whether you are covered is to call the phone number on your insurance card and ask about your mental health benefits. Ask if there is a deductible or copayment, whether you need preauthorization, whether there is a limit to the number of sessions, and whether you need a referral from your physician. If you are covered by Medicare or Medicaid, contact these agencies for benefit descriptions.
If you do not have coverage, you will be responsible for paying for your treatment. Some therapists will accept a lowered fee in the case of financial hardship or they may offer a payment plan.
Psychologists Are Required to Protect Your Confidentiality
Psychologists are bound by strict rules of confidentiality. Talk to your psychologist about any limits to confidentiality. Some of your private health information may be released to obtain insurance reimbursement. With your consent, your psychologist may contact others involved in your care, such as physicians, hospitals, and previous therapists.
How Can I Find a Psychologist?
There are several ways to find a psychologist.
• Ask a friend or physician to recommend a psychologist.
• Call your health Insurance company. Many people today have insurance plans that direct them to psychologists who are reimbursed by their insurer.
• Contact your local hospital, mental health center, or place of worship, or look under "Psychologists" in the yellow pages of yourlocal telephone book.
• Call the Illinois Psychological Association at 312–372–7610 or visit the referral section of this website for a referral to a psychologist. All psychologists referred by the Illinois Psychological Association are licensed and insured.

Research shows psychotherapy is effective in treating depression, anxiety and behavioral health issues. It can help people make positive changes in their lives and relationships and develop skills to manage life's challenges and be healthy.

As corporate romances go, IBM and Apple's must rank among the most unexpected. […] This new union is profoundly important. It indicates and evidences change on a vast scale.
It's interesting to note that the title of the new IBM Design Language page is 'Living Language', signalling an understanding that design is, by its nature, ever-evolving. It will be fascinating to see how IBM's "shared vocabulary for design," unfolds. The company has long understood the importance of design – witness its well-documented relationship with Paul Rand – let's hope it's rediscovered passion for design is, on this occasion, long-term.
I was fortunate to receive a copy of Letters of Note as a gift, this Christmas. It's a beautifully designed book and filled with inspiration. (If you're getting a copy – and you should – don't buy the Kindle version, get the hardback, it's a book to be held in the hand and savoured.)
One of the letters that caught my eye whilst reading it was written by Hunter S. Thompson, at the tender age of just twenty-two. A letter to a friend, in response to a request for advice on life, it offers some profound insights. The following, given recent experience , resonated with me, in particular:
Every man is the sum total of his reactions to experience. As your experiences differ and multiply, you become a different man, and hence your perspective changes. This goes on and on. Every reaction is a learning process; every significant experience alters your perspective.
In short: we are shaped by life, and life, in turn, is shaped by us.
Thompson's letter is reproduced in full at Farnam Street , where Mr Parrish observes it offers, "some of the most thoughtful and profound advice," he has ever come across.
It's a new year, which means it's time to actually finish this site off, once and for all. Well aware that I'll never get around to this on top of my writing, speaking, teaching and other commitments, I've teamed up with Pete Coles , Creative Director at fffunction, to knock everything into shape.
I hope to have something uncovered soon. Until then, I'll be writing – right here – in good old-fashioned HTML, sans CSS. On the bright side, this means everything's responsive, right out of the box. Wonderful. (It's just like the good old days, when everything was so much simpler).
I've missed having a home for my writing. I've really missed it. I've always taught my students that 'A Good Writer is a Good Thinker'. Writing shapes your thinking. Writing is a process. A process through which new ideas are developed, challenged and tested. (I'll be exploring this further in a talk I'll be giving at Smashing Conference in March, 2015; and I can't very well deliver that talk without practising what I preach, can I?)
When I called it a day at
Womens Kinko140 Shimmer Almond Round Toe Dressy High Heel Pump Silver MKzEPS3o
, I planned to establish a new site, here, but work unfortunately got the better of me. I hope to change that this year. I need to change that.

Poor Wii U. Life for the fledgling system has been rough since its release last November and despite some small victories, it's struggling to keep up in the console game. It might be the fact that the Wii U's technology is lagging terribly behind its upcoming competition or it could be its minuscule library of games — it could even be the fact that several major franchises have canceled development for the console.
I sympathize with both gamers and Miyamoto here. On the one hand, Nintendo's in a corner where they have no games' on the Wii U's current time slot (yet another of Nintendo's unfortunately usual game droughts), they can only do so much to get more content out there.
On the other hand, gamers need software to play and without that software, interest for the Wii U will diminish (for both early adopters and those yet to adopt) and sales won't pick up.
I may favor Nintendo, but I wouldn't have gotten a Wii U without the guarantee of first party releases in future, and I completely understand that someone who isn't necessarily a fan would not be able to show the same sort of patience. That much, I agree, is on Nintendo.
I'm going to buy a Wii U no matter what, plus the next playstation and xbox.
Honestly, I have no idea why anyone would want a company to fail. It's like gaming has just become one big mess of fanboys.
I swear there was an article on N4G about the same thing......

Birth Planning for a Cesarean Delivery
Some women know before labor begins that they will be having a cesarean surgery. When the cesarean is planned, there are many options about how to handle that day. Other women decide to have a cesarean because of a problem or variation of labor. During labor, even if your doctor feels a cesarean is necessary to save your life, it will remain your right to have or refuse a cesarean, and you will still have a few decisions to make.
When to start the surgery
You may have the option to choose between several days for your surgery, allowing you to plan schedules for child care and support persons to be with you. You may also have the option to wait for labor to begin before doing the surgery. This will give you the reassurance that your baby has had all the time he needs to be ready to be born, and has had every opportunity to adjust a position if that were the reason for a cesarean.
Some women enjoy keeping the day of their cesarean a secret. In that way, they are able to surprise friends and relatives with the "baby's here" call even though the cesarean was scheduled.
When to have family join you
Most hospitals will allow you to have a support person with you during a cesarean. Other individuals you would like to play a part in your baby's birth day may be able to wait in a lobby or waiting area. Your medical team should be able to help you determine when you would be feeling ready for visitors. In some hospitals a special visitor may be able to see you in the recovery area.
Medication Used
A cesarean can be performed with an epidural, spinal or general anesthesia. In general, you will probably not be given a choice between certain drugs or ways to administer the drug. It is important that you inform your health care providers of any adverse reactions you have had to medications.
Support Person
You may be given the option to have one support person with you during your surgery. You may want to determine who this person will be before labor to prevent confusion and disappointment in the event you decide to have a cesarean.
Photo or Video Documentation
You may have the ability to have a support person bring in a camera to capture the moment you meet your baby.
Describe Events
Some mothers find that having the doctor or a nurse describe what is happening gives them a sense of being a part of the process.
Immediate Breastfeeding
Depending on the circumstances surrounding your cesarean, you may have the ability to breastfeed you baby before you leave the surgical suite. You will need assistance to hold your baby, however in some hospitals immediate breastfeeding can still be done. If it is not possible or practical, you may decide to breastfeed your baby while still in the recovery area.
Someone with baby
Because you will need to spend time being stitched up and then in a recovery area, you may want to designate another person to stay with your baby in the nursery. Hospitals have different policies about who is able to accompany a baby or be with the mother before she returns to her room, so it is important to find out what options you have before labor begins. Some women prefer to have the father stay with the baby while another family member or friend stays with the mother in recovery. Some hospitals have policies that permit the baby to stay with the mother during recovery.

Reality shows tend to bring out the wildest in people. Just this week, for example, model Cinthia Fernandez (right) appeared on Bailando Por Un Sueno (the Argentine version of Dancing With the Stars) and performed a strip tease live on national television that ended with her fully naked and covered in wine. Now, before you decide to pack up and move to Argentina, you should know that nudity on reality shows extends to just about every continent. Here are some of the hottest reality stars to have gotten naked on television.
Cinthia Fernandez — Bailando Por Un Sueno
This was an insane moment, even by reality show standards. You've got to ask yourself, what exactly was she thinking? That, covered only with gold ta-ta paint, it'd suddenly be cool to rip off her panties and writhe around in red wine? Because that's exactly what happened. But, hey, no complaints on our end. Fernandez is helping break down cultural barriers.
Orlaith and Makosi — Big Brother UK
When Orlaith McAllister and Makosi Musambasi—by far the season's hottest cast members—got into a hot tub topless, you knew something was about to go down. Then they started making out. A lot. And it was just as great as everyone hoped it would be.
Jenna and Heidi — Survivor: The Amazon
Survival situations drive people to do some strange things. As it turns out, so do televised survival situations. In one episode of Survivor: The Amazon, contestants Jenna Morasca and Heidi Strobel offered to take off their clothes in exchange for chocolate and peanut butter. Host Jeff Probst immediately agreed, and the deal was carried out. Jenna and Heidi earned themselves a Playboy pictorial for that one (see photo above).
Michelle Bass — Big Brother UK
She was naked on a few occasions throughout her time on the show, but the episode in which the curvaceous Michelle Bass streaked fully naked through the house is particularly well remembered in the UK.
Lisa, Chiara and Tonya — Big Brother US
In yet another peanut-butter-related moment of reality show nudity, Big Brother contestants Lisa Donahue, Chiara Berti and Tonya Paoni crafted what they referred to as "peanut butter bikinis." Which, in case you were wondering, aren't really bikinis at all.
Larinda Gann — Fear Factor
On an episode of Fear Factor, college student Larinda Gann was challenged to face her fear of public nudity by walking naked down a runway in front of a live audience. Oh, yeah, and it was on national television. That's one way to overcome your fear.
Silvina Escudero — Bailando Por Un Sueno
That's right. Cinthia Fernandez wasn't the first Bailando contestant to simulate sex on the show. That honor goes to model Silvina Escudero, who in one episode performed a "dance routine" that ended with her topless on a desk having her breasts licked and caressed by her dance partner. We're all done here. On second thought… see ya in Argentina.

NEW YORK (AP) — The real-life Alex Vause of "Orange is the New Black" is ready to tell her story.
Cleary Wolters has a deal with HarperOne for the memoir "Out of Orange," scheduled for May 2015.
In a statement released Thursday to The Associated Press, the publisher said that Wolters' book would tell of her time in prison and her "complicated" relationship with Piper Kerman, Wolters' former friend and lover.
Kerman's "Orange is the New Black" was a best-selling prison memoir adapted into the video series that has been a sensation on Netflix.
Wolters said in a statement that her life was "an unbelievable saga" with a surprising new chapter.
On the Netflix show, Vause is played by Laura Prepon. Taylor Schilling stars as Piper Chapman, the stand-in for Kerman.

About RSNA
Elliot K. Fishman, MD is professor of radiology and oncology at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director of Diagnostic Imaging and Body CT at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. He began his medical career with a medical degree from the University of Maryland Medical School and his radiology career with a diagnostic radiology residency at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore and a computed body tomography fellowship from Johns Hopkins.From the start, Dr Fishman approached radiology from the standpoint of an educator–from his earliest manuscripts focused on educating the practicing radiologist about body CT and the value of 3D imaging to his later articles on the science of radiology education. He has now produced more than 1000 journal publications, the majority of which include students or trainees as first author or co-author, a testament to his ongoing role as mentor to generations of residents, fellows, and junior faculty. His unique and engaging teaching style, highly innovative and inspirational, has proven to be an effective tool for career development for everyone he encounters.In addition to journal publications, Dr Fishman has co-authored 10 books and monographs including PocketRADIOLOGIST® Abdominal Top 100 Diagnoses and Multidetector Row CT: Principles, Techniques and Applications, now in its third edition, and 50 book chapters. He has developed 25 audiovisual and Web-based programs in his pursuit of widespread dissemination of radiologic educational materials through computer-based methods, including CTisus.com, a Web site used by more than 60,000 radiologists and technologists in over 120 countries worldwide. The site won the gold medal at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) annual meeting and the Magna Cum Laude at the RSNA scientific assembly and annual meeting.Other awards and honors include election in 2002 to Alpha Omega Alpha—The Honors Medical Society and Aunt Minnie Awards in Radiology—"Best Educator" in 2001 and 2007 and "Best Researcher" in 2004.

Moleskine custom editions are conceived for different reasons, to celebrate special anniversaries and social initiatives, to promote public events and exhibitions, or to pay tribute to world's leading cultural institutions and prominent artists. Now it's time to explain how these limited edition notebooks are made, traditionally by our artisans. In this video we focused on one of the printing process we use very often, the debossing process, a dry printing method in which a custom special die is used to apply graphics to our covers.
This traditional method utilizes a metal die with the image of the logo (in this case a brozen punch reproducing the Trourist logo made by an high quality milling) which is first heated and then pressed into the surface leaving a permanent impression, or rather a low relief. It can be blind (no ink) or color register. When a color imprint is prefered, a piece of specialized colored foil (or silk screen ink) is placed on top of the product before debossing. The result is a color imprint, like the white custom-made cover showed in the video.
The process of debossing produces a very professional, high quality distinguished finish. This is the way we printed our logo on the lower back of every Moleskine items.

Jaime Hernandez: This was a high mintage compared to Proof Lincoln cents struck after 1992. The 1992-S Proof Lincoln cent mintage was over 4 million and from 1993 to date the total production figures have been significantly less than 4 million.
This is the last year in which the Mint used the Wide AM reverse design on the word AMERICA, as in 1993 they transitioned over to the new 1993 Close AM reverse on Proof Lincoln cents.

The fourth annual Heart of Hospice Foundation Butterfly Release in Hood River drew more than 165 people to Jackson Park May 19, to release monarch butterflies.
"It's our way of thanking the community that so generously supports our Foundation," said Cathy Carter, executive director of the Heart of Hospice Foundation, sponsor of the free community event.
"We love hosting this event. It connects people throughout the Gorge. We've all experienced loss and death. It's a common bond that we all share. And it's so inspirational to watch and listen as strangers share their grief."
This celebration of life was intended to help people honor their loved ones and release their grief. The butterfly has been a symbol of transformation and resurrection for thousands of years, going back to at least the ancient Greeks. That is also why it is the symbol for hospices worldwide.
The butterfly release was open to the entire community and this year was a good mix of hospice and non-hospice families. The Heart of Hospice staff read the names of more than 150 patients who had passed since the last butterfly release. Several of the staff openly cried as they read the names of people they had cared for. The names of another more than 100 people (and pets) that were submitted by the community were also read.
One gentleman commented that he was as moved by the emotions of the readers as by the number of names themselves; and he personally knew several of the people.
This event is always very emotional for our staff. When a patient dies, we often don't have time to fully grieve their loss because we have a new patient to serve. But when we stand there and hear or read the name our patients, we remember how special they were to us. We grieve their loss again.
I'm certain this grief is transmitted to our audience. But I also know this is very healing for all of us. At Heart of Hospice we have a saying that the only bad tears are uncried tears.
When the butterflies were simultaneously released, there was a huge collective sigh. Some people were crying; others were hugging, but nobody remained untouched. Many of the butterflies lingered this year.
One woman was certain that that her butterfly contained the spirit of her deceased husband because it wouldn't leave her for the longest time. First, it sat on her shoulder, then her arm, then her finger. She was able to talk to it and assure it that she was alright, that he could go in peace. It was only then that her butterfly flew away.
As she watched it flitter away, she smiled, but with tears streaming down her face. That's the beauty of our butterfly release, happiness and heartache.

International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM), the largest computer-services company, raised its annual forecast after second-quarter earnings topped analysts' estimates, lifted by cost cuts and share buybacks.
Excluding a $1 billion restructuring expense, profit was $3.91 a share last quarter, the Armonk, New York-based company said yesterday in a statement. That beat the $3.78 that analysts projected on average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. IBM now expects to earn at least $16.90 a share in 2013, up from the $16.70 it forecast earlier this year.
IBM has managed to increase profit by shifting away from low-margin businesses, cutting jobs and repurchasing stock -- even as revenue declines. The company is betting that faster- growing areas such as cloud computing and data analysis can offset a broader slowdown in information-technology spending.
"We have to take them at their word that they're going to see some productivity improvements due to the workforce changes, and some strength in software and services," said Josh Olson, an analyst with Edward Jones & Co. in Des Peres, Missouri. "They're getting a benefit from software growing at a faster pace than the other businesses, and that's contributing to the profit beat."
The shares climbed 2% to $198.34 at 10:04 a.m. in New York. The stock was up 1.6% this year through yesterday, trailing an 18% gain for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
Earlier Shortfall
By beating earnings estimates, IBM rebounds from a rare stumble in the previous quarter, when its profit missed projections for the first time in eight years. Even so, revenue continued to decline, falling 3.3% to $24.9 billion from a year earlier. Analysts had expected $25.3 billion. Sales declined in every IBM business division other than software.
In addition to a slump in demand, currency changes took a toll on IBM's results last quarter. In Japan, where the company made about 10% of its sales last year, the yen fell 5% versus the dollar in the second quarter. The company was "significantly impacted" by the yen's weakness, Chief Financial Officer Mark Loughridge said on a conference call.
"Because our business in Japan is more heavily skewed to local services, we have less ability to hedge cross-border cash flows as compared to most other countries," Loughridge said.

Boxoffice Salvation?
The recession has boosted theater admissions, but weak concession sales and slow digital conversions threaten to terminate exhibitor profitsAt the Carmike Encore Park Cinemas megaplex in Elkhart, Ind., boxoffice receipts are way up this year. But the returns at the candy counter aren't so sweet.
In fact, sales last year of sugary snacks, popcorn and soft drinks barely reached 2007 levels in Elkhart, and this year could be worse.
"That city is at a high level of the unemployment rate and we've seen a little bit of stagnation in our per-capita growth in that particular market," says Fred Van Noy, COO of Georgia-based Carmike.
The slowdown isn't limited to Elkhart. The 289-theater Carmike chain recently launched "Stimulus Tuesdays," offering 16-ounce drinks and 46-ounce popcorns for $1 each in an attempt to boost concessions.
Even as the recession has caused a spike in theater attendance, a fear that more moviegoers are passing on $5 tubs of popcorn and sodas is just one of several concerns on exhibitors' minds as they flock to ShoWest this week.
"Frankly, this is something we are really worried about," says Thomas Stephenson Jr., president and CEO of Dallas-based Rave Motion Pictures, which has 475 screens in 14 states.
"Our concession sales are not up on a yearly basis as much as we anticipated they would be," says Dean Kerasotes, COO of Kerasotes Theaters, whose 100-year-old circuit has 933 screens at 94 locations. "It's hard to tell whether it's people's spending habits or the product, which has been heavily weighted toward more adult fare like 'Gran Torino' and 'Slumdog Millionaire,' which aren't big concession movies."
But these bullish numbers obscure some ominous signs. Admissions declined 2.5% in 2008, and ticket prices last year shot up from $6.88 in 2007 to $7.18.
At the same time, conversions of theaters to digital and 3-D projection -- which many believe represents the future of the exhibition business -- has slowed due to the recession.
Several major studios agreed last fall to pay "virtual print fees" of about $1,000 per screen for up to 20 years for digital conversion, a key first step for 3-D projection. Third-party implementors Digital Cinema Implementation Partners, a joint venture of AMC Entertainment, Cinemark and Regal Cinemas, and Cinedigm (formerly AccessIT) had raised millions and were ready to begin conversion of half the U.S. screens just as the money froze.
"This is where the credit crisis is a true bummer for us," NATO president John Fithian says. "The big deals that will really accelerate the transition are somewhat on hold. The models are all developed. The agreements with the studios are there. To get back on track we've got to see thawing in the credit markets."
Cinedigm installed about 3,800 screens before the freeze, including the entire Carmike circuit. It became the first major circuit to fully digitize its 2,500 screens across 37 states in a deal valued at $150 million. But others have had to wait.
"We're constrained like everyone else but we're not by any means not doing it," says Bud Mayo, CEO of Cinedigm, which hopes to convert 8,500 screens during the next three years. "We're finding creative ways to work with exhibition and in some cases even the exhibitors' own banks to provide installations."
With about a dozen 3-D films headed to theaters this year, some theater chains are scrambling to complete partial 3-D installations on their own while they wait for DCIP and Cinedigm.
"There's a fair amount of that going on with self-financing and partial deals," Fithian says.
Kerasotes, for instance, was on the verge of converting his chain to digital when the crunch hit.
"Last fall I opened a 16-plex in Manteca, Calif., and went all digital anyway," he says. "I'm on the hook for it. The hope is that later we can put it into a third-party deal, which should happen."
In many existing theaters, Kerasotes paid to convert just one or two screens while he waits for the rest.
The result is money left on the table when high-profile 3-D releases hit theaters. Last weekend, DreamWorks Animation's "Monsters vs. Aliens" opened in 3-D on about 2,000 screens (and 700 overseas) out of a total of 38,000 screens. That's a far cry from DWA's announcement last year that it expected 5,000 3-D screens to be ready for the film's launch.
Disney also has made a big commitment to 3-D and is anxiously awaiting more conversions.
"We keep hearing there will be funding by midsummer," says Disney distribution head Chuck Viane.
Until more screens are converted, 3-D movies are being forced out of theaters prematurely.
"So a picture like 'Coraline,' which was doing a lot of business, was knocked out by 'Jonas Brothers,' " Viane says. "And, come summer, we will see four or five films knock each other out."
Even if the funding for conversions materializes, some exhibitors worry that the benefits will fall disproportionally to distributors, who will no longer have to make $1,600 film prints.
"It's very costly for exhibitors and exhibition is not going to be the one that benefits from an investment," says Bruce Olson, president of Milwaukee-based Marcus Theaters. Plus, he says, "The cost for maintenance is 21⁄2-to four times that of 35mm equipment. So the burden is still weighed unfairly against exhibitors."
Digital does create new opportunities for exhibitors. They can broadcast live sporting events and employ teleconferencing for business meetings and special gatherings. National CineMedia, another joint venture of Regal and AMC, offers telecasts of the Metropolitan Opera, among other programs. "We'll have 50,000-70,000 people show up across the country for a one-night event and in many markets we will sell out," CineMedia CEO Kurt Hall says. "We could put a couple million seats in play at one time and generate a very large gross, if the content is right."
Large-format exhibitor Imax is going through a major technical transition from analog to digital, including digital 3-D, as well as a rapid expansion. It has a deal with AMC, among others, and expects to have more than 100 screens with 3-D capability by the end of the year--and all are already financed. "We used to have (theater chains) buy a theater for $1 million-$1.5 million,"CEO Greg Foster says. "Now for joint ventures like AMC and Regal, we pay for the theater. We install the system. They pay a fairly small amount, about $150,000-$175,000 to retrofit the theater for our sound system, screen and branding. We now split the revenue."
The Imax boom has coincided with a shift in theater building. The average number of screens at each U.S. theater rose to 6.71 in 2008 but almost no chain is building 25-plexes as they did a decade ago. New theaters are often in the 14-screen range and position themselves as destinations with food and shopping.
The trend is to open where developers pay costs, known as build-to-suit deals.
"The landlord funds the entire construction of the facility," Carmike's Van Noy says. "So we are not having to access our resources to do any of these projects."
However, even that has stalled, as many developers have been caught in the credit crunch.
"This will be the first year since 2000 that we didn't open a new theater," Rave's Stephenson says.
That doesn't mean there won't be activity.
"This credit crisis may be more an opportunity for acquisitions," Marcus' Olsen says. "This may be a good time for a company like us, with cash, to go out and acquire rather than build."
Still, Fithian believes exhibition is in good shape because so many screens were constructed in recent years.
"We wouldn't want to go years without the ability to upgrade," he says, "but for a while we're OK."

If you're reading this blog you're probably familiar with ADO.Net and it's SqlCommand object.
Now this SqlCommand object has a CommandTimeout property that specifies the number of seconds
after which the command will terminate. The default value is 30.
Now we get to the SqlConnection and the connection string. in the connection string you can specify
Connection Timeout = numberOfSeconds
after which the connection timeouts.
We also have to set the SqlConnection object to the SqlCommand.Connection property.
Nothing special so far.
Now my question is:
If we set the Connection Timeout in our connection string to higher value than the SqlCommand.CommandTimeout's is,
WHY DOESN'T the SqlCommand.CommandTimeout get set to that higher value???
I really can't think of a good reason.
<rant over>
OK, I can... :)

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (June 20, 2014) – East Tennessee State University volleyball head coach Lindsey Devine announced the hiring of Marquis Clark as an assistant coach on Friday.
Clark carries nine-plus years of coaching experience with him to Johnson City, while spending last season as a volunteer assistant at Wichita State. Prior to his coaching stint with the perennial power Shockers, Clark served as the head coach at Cloud County Community College from 2010-12. Clark began his coaching career at Dodge City Community College and made two stops as an assistant at Manhattan High School.
"I am very happy to welcome Marquis Clark to the ETSU Volleyball family and staff," said Devine. "I knew after interviewing Marquis that he was a perfect fit for our program. He has a strong work ethic, passion for the sport, and brings high statistical volleyball knowledge to our program."
As for Clark, he's excited to be on board and hopes to help guide the Bucs to another NCAA Tournament appearance.
"I'm excited to be part of the ETSU family," commented Clark.

I'm looking forward to meeting the team, and getting to work on helping this group win another conference championship and get back to the NCAA Tournament."
During his time at Wichita State, Clark was in charge of scouting, analyzing team and opponent statistics, creating game plans, working with player training and helping with skill and team camps. Last season, Wichita State was ranked in the top 25 of the AVCA Coaches Poll and made its seventh straight NCAA Tournament appearance after finishing the season at 28-7.
Clark received his first head coaching position at Cloud County Community College in May of 2010. During his three years with the T-Birds, Clark coached a pair of KJCCC all-conference selections, while also directing Cloud County to the NJCAA Region VI Tournament in each of the three seasons. Clark was also in charge of recruiting, team budgets, strength training, and assisted with local club teams in player and coach development.
Along with his stints at Dodge City Community College and Manhattan High School, Clark has also coached on the club circuit. Clark coached the Kansas Volleyball Club from 2008-12, ICT Elite from 2012-13 and the Shockwave Volleyball Academy from 2013-14.
Clark received his bachelor's degree from Kansas State in 2004 and earned his master's degree in political science from Kansas State in 2008. Clark was a member of the Kansas State men's track and field team where he was a two-time regional championship qualifier in the high jump and also a three-time All-Big 12 academic award winner.
