Lakers Sign Ryan Kelly
EL SEGUNDO - The Los Angeles Lakers have signed free agent forward Ryan Kelly, it was announced today by General Manager Mitch Kupchak. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not released.
"When we extended a qualifying offer to Ryan in June, we fully expected him to be a part of our future," said Kupchak. "Ryan did everything we asked of him as a rookie and showed great promise and potential. After rehabbing an injury last summer, he will have the benefit of a full offseason regimen and training camp for the first time in his NBA career, and we anticipate further development as a result."
In 2013-14, his rookie NBA season, Kelly averaged 8.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.8 blocks in 22.2 minutes per game, and started 25 contests while appearing in 59 total games. The 23-year-old Kelly scored 20+ points on three occasions last season, including a career-high 26 on February 5th at Cleveland and became just the third Laker rookie in the last 20 years (Kobe Bryant and Eddie Jones) to score 17+ points in consecutive games when he did so 1/17 at BOS and 1/19 at TOR.
In five games while on assignment with the Los Angeles D-Fenders of the NBA D-League, Kelly averaged 25.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks in 39.6 minutes.
The 6'11'' forward was selected by the Lakers in the second round (48th overall pick) in the 2013 NBA draft. The former McDonald's All-American, who earned a 2010 NCAA Championship as well as two ACC Championships with Duke, played all four seasons for the Blue Devils, where he averaged 7.5 points and 3.7 rebounds while shooting 46% from the field. As a senior, Kelly was named ACC Player of the Week twice and earned honorable mention All-ACC honors despite missing 13 games due to injury. Kelly finished his final season with the Blue Devils averaging 12.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocked shots in 28.9 minutes per game.

I buy my own photographic kit. Diving equipment manufacturers and diving services suppliers get even-handed treatment from me whether they choose to advertise in the publications I write for or not. All the equipment I get on loan is returned as soon as it is finished with. Did you know you can now get Diver Mag as an iPad/Android app?

Hi Davephdv:
Regarding maps. I am not aware of an on-line chart library. It looks like you basically up-load a jpeg version through SmartTRAK.
I picked up a Galileo Sol this past week and am presently playing with the new software. Pretty similar to the the version I used with my Smart computer. Can hardly wait to upload charts.

Finally had a few minutes to play with creating maps. To be legible, here is what I have found:
1.) Lines need to be 2 points or thicker to appear on the computer. Hairline widths do not work.
2.) Font size needs to be about 24 point to be legible when it is compressed and transferred to the Galileo.
3.) If anyone is interested, I have a template for drawing maps/info that matches the size of the Galileo "screen." You create maps/headings/directions inside the rectangle.
This is definitely not a high definition charting function, but I have found it useful for general headings and locations. My "science project" has been the grid for a local underwater park in Edmonds, Washington.
Switching topics, how do other Galileo owners transport their units? The case it came in is fairly bulky, and I am looking for something smaller for overseas trips. I am not sure I could get through the new and improved US Homeland Security procedures wearing it on my wrist.

Any Mac users with the Galilee? Their smart track software didn't work. Scubapro put me in touch with their tech guy. About the fourth version of the software worked (the others didn't recognize the Galilee, just older model Uwatec computers) If your wondering version 1.8 is the one that worked.
Thing is it records dive time as universal standard time. Both the computer and my Mac software are set to CA time but the time in the downloaded dives still matches the Universal time and date.

Fall 2013
Antiretroviral treatment can reduce the viral load in the blood and other bodily fluids to undetectable levels and research shows this can decrease the risk of HIV transmission. This knowledge has generated interest among people living with HIV and their partners in the use of treatment as an HIV prevention strategy. But how much can treatment reduce the risk of HIV transmission and what is the transmission risk when the viral load is undetectable?
This article explores what we know and don't know about these questions and provides key messages for both people living with HIV, and their partners.
Viral load refers to the amount of HIV in a bodily fluid. Blood viral load is monitored as part of routine clinical care for a person living with HIV to track HIV disease progression, inform decisions on treatment initiation, and determine whether antiretroviral treatment is working once started. Treatment is generally considered successful when the viral load is reduced and, ideally, lowered to undetectable levels.
While we have known for years that a lower blood viral load can significantly improve the health of people living with HIV, it is only more recently that we have learned about its importance for HIV transmission and prevention. As it turns out, the amount of HIV in a fluid is an important predictor of whether infection occurs after an exposure. Research shows that a lower blood viral load is generally associated with a reduced risk of sexual HIV transmission. For each 10-fold decrease in viral load (for example, from 100,000 to 10,000 copies/ml), the risk of sexual HIV transmission generally reduces by 2-3 fold.1 This is because when the viral load in the blood decreases, it generally also decreases in the sexual fluids (semen, vaginal fluid and rectal fluid),2 which are those commonly involved in the sexual transmission of HIV.
In 2011, a landmark study known as HPTN 052 demonstrated -- among heterosexual serodiscordant couples -- that early treatment can significantly reduce the risk of sexual HIV transmission under certain conditions.3 While uncertainties and information gaps remain, interest in the use of treatment as an HIV prevention strategy is growing, and research shows that some people living with HIV consider their viral load when making decisions around safer sex and condom use.4,5 As a result, frontline service providers need to be prepared to answer potentially difficult questions to help empower clients to make informed decisions.
Clients may have many questions when it comes to viral load, treatment and HIV transmission. Two commonly asked questions are: 1) how much can treatment reduce the risk of HIV transmission and 2) what is the risk of HIV transmission when the viral load is undetectable and no condom is used?
While these questions may seem similar and straightforward, they are actually two very different questions and, unfortunately, there are no simple or conclusive answers to either of them. While this uncertainty can be frustrating and makes it difficult to provide meaningful answers, it is important for frontline service providers to communicate to clients what the research does and does not tell us. Below we explore what we know and don't know for each question.
The HPTN 052 study helps answer this question. In this randomized controlled trial, treatment reduced the risk of HIV transmission by 96% (equivalent to a 25-fold decrease) among heterosexual serodiscordant couples who had mostly vaginal sex and received ongoing services and supports including adherence and prevention counselling, free condoms, viral load tests, and testing and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).3 Although this study improved our understanding, knowledge gaps remain that require further investigation and need to be explored with clients when answering this question.
How does this transfer to the "real world?"
The HPTN 052 study took place in a very controlled setting where a motivated group of participants were provided with ongoing supports and services to help them reduce their risk of HIV transmission and maximize the prevention benefits of treatment. As a result, it is unclear if the significant reduction in risk observed in this study will also apply to heterosexual couples in the "real world" -- outside of a clinical trial setting -- who may not receive, or have access to, the same supports and services as in HPTN 052.
We know that adherence counselling is important to support daily pill-taking in order to reduce the viral load to undetectable levels; regular viral load testing is important to make sure that treatment is working (viral load is undetectable) and HIV has not developed resistance to treatment medications (if the viral load is no longer undetectable, this may indicate that resistance has developed); and STI testing and treatment are important because untreated STIs (in either the HIV-positive or HIV-negative partner) may increase the risk of HIV transmission even when on treatment.6
If medications are missed, drug resistance develops, or untreated STIs are present, treatment may be much less effective than 96% at reducing the risk of HIV transmission. For example, in a "real world" study of heterosexual serodiscordant couples who were not part of a tightly controlled randomized trial like HPTN 052, antiretroviral treatment only reduced the risk of HIV transmission by 26% (equivalent to a 1.35-fold decrease).7
What about anal sex?
Since 97% of the couples in the HPTN 052 study were heterosexual and reported mostly having vaginal sex, we don't know how much these results apply to couples who mostly have anal sex, such as some gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM). However, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently held a meeting on the subject and concluded that there is no reason to think that treatment won't also reduce the risk of HIV transmission through anal sex, although the reduction in risk may or may not be as high as for vaginal sex.8 There are ongoing studies, such as the Opposites Attract study in Australia, which aim to determine the extent of risk-reduction among gay men and other MSM.
Unfortunately the HPTN 052 study did not help answer this question. While HPTN 052 showed that being on treatment and having a lower viral load can dramatically reduce the risk of HIV transmission under certain conditions (see Question 1), it remains unclear what the actual risk is reduced to when the viral load is undetectable.
A major reason for this uncertainty is the lack of research among couples who mostly have sex without a condom.9 A review of studies in the literature, performed in November 2012, did not find any reported HIV transmissions between heterosexual serodiscordant couples where the HIV-positive partner had an undetectable viral load (no studies of same sex serodiscordant couples were identified by the review).10 However, the lack of HIV transmissions does not mean the risk is zero, as most of the couples in these studies reported using condoms often. For example, 96% of couples in the HPTN 052 study reported using condoms every time they had sex. While participants of studies often say they are using condoms more regularly than they actually are, condom use may partly explain the lack of HIV transmissions in the HPTN 052 study (when the HIV-positive partner had an undetectable viral load) and other studies included in the literature review.
Also, the risk of HIV transmission when undetectable may not be the same for all types of sex. For example, the risk may be higher for anal sex than for vaginal sex, particularly if the HIV-negative partner is the receptive partner (bottom) during anal sex (also known as receptive anal sex). This is because receptive anal sex has a higher baseline risk than other types of sex. Research shows that, on average, the risk of HIV transmission to an HIV-negative partner can be 10-20-fold higher through receptive anal sex than it is through vaginal sex.11,12 However, this research did not measure the viral load of the HIV-positive partner. Therefore, we don't know if the risk is higher through anal sex when the viral load is known to be undetectable, as this has yet to be studied.
Fortunately, there are ongoing studies, such as the Partner study in Europe, which will provide a better understanding of the risk of HIV transmission when the viral load is undetectable and no condom is used, for both vaginal and anal sex. These studies are enrolling serodiscordant heterosexual and same-sex couples who are taking HIV treatment, have an undetectable viral load, and do not always use condoms.
Coming to a consensus
While we wait for research gaps to be filled, experts and community organizations are using the information currently available to develop an answer to this question.
For example, experts at the British HIV Association (BHIVA) recently released a position statement concluding the risk of HIV transmission through vaginal sex when no condom is used is "extremely low" when the blood viral load is undetectable and the following conditions are met: 1) There are no sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in either partner; 2) the HIV-positive partner has maintained an undetectable viral load for at least 6 months; and 3) the blood viral load is monitored on a regular basis. The statement went on to say that -- despite the lack of research -- they anticipate a similarly "extremely low" risk for anal sex. However, other experts think the risk may be higher for receptive anal sex than for vaginal sex.13
Some community organizations have developed tools to try to translate the research and expert statements into messages for community members. One example is ACON (the AIDS Council of New South Wales), the largest community-based gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender HIV/AIDS organization in Australia, which recently developed their "Know the risk" website. This site states there is a "medium risk" through anal sex when the viral load is undetectable and it is known (or there is uncertainty) that an STI is present. However, the risk can become "low" when it is confirmed there is no STI and the viral load has been undetectable for six months.
It is important to keep in mind that while expressions such as "extremely low" and "medium" risk are relatively easy to communicate to clients and may reflect risk in a more meaningful way than the use of numbers, they are also open to interpretation. For example, "extremely low" risk may mean different things to different people.
Not "no risk"
There is a general consensus that the risk is not completely eliminated when the viral load is undetectable and no condom is used. In fact, there has been one published case report of HIV transmission between a same sex male serodiscordant couple where the HIV-positive partner was believed to have an undetectable viral load.14
How is HIV transmission still possible when the viral load is undetectable?
Many people who have an undetectable viral load in the blood also have an undetectable viral load in other bodily fluids. However, undetectable does not mean that there is no virus, only that the amount of virus is below the limits that tests can detect (viral load tests used in Canada cannot detect HIV in the blood if there are less than 40-50 copies/ml). Therefore, HIV transmission may still be possible because virus is present.
Also, it is possible for people who have an undetectable viral load in the blood to sometimes have detectable (although lowered) levels of virus in their other bodily fluids.16-19 A higher level of HIV in semen, vaginal fluid and rectal fluid may increase the risk of transmission when the blood viral load is undetectable. However, it is unclear how often this happens and how significant it is in terms of HIV transmission.
Some biological factors known to increase viral load in genital and rectal fluids, and potentially the risk of HIV transmission, include inflammation at the penis, vagina or rectum caused by tearing, STIs and some vaginal conditions (such as bacterial vaginosis), and hormonal changes caused by the menstrual cycle, pregnancy or use of injectable hormonal contraceptives.20-24

The Beauty of the Arts Points to Christ
"Beauty is not a thing, but a Person. We can't analyze beauty; it is Someone we come to know."
Those are the words of Columbia International University professor Steve Baarendse who has been contemplating beauty and its origins – from a biblical perspective. Baarendse, a professor of English and Humanities, writes that "Jesus is the end of beauty, which means that beauty, wherever we find it, always points to him."
Baarendse's thoughts on beauty were recently published by "Touchstone" magazine published by the Fellowship of St. James, an alliance of authors, professors, clergy members, lay men and women, and writers — from various Christian denominations — who promote orthodox Christianity, the natural law, and traditional Christian morality. Read Baarendse's article "The Logos of Beauty."

Scores of federal government workers have been furloughed, which results in the closing of many offices and of areas in the national park system.
Thousands of visitors from near and far have been turned away from attractions in the area and in San Juan County. Closures impact Canyonlands National Park, Hovenweep National Monument and Natural Bridges National Monument. In addition, the closures impact Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and similar attractions throughout the area.
In addition to the closures, offices are not able to complete their work. A scheduled public hearing regarding a proposal to designate the Gunnison sage grouse as an endangered species was cancelled by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
While local tourism and lodging officials have worked hard to educate visitors about the many attractions that have not been closed, the closure has had a significant impact.
The closure comes at the end of the busy tourist season. One frustrated local motel owner explains that he spends most of the year paying his annual expenses, and it is at the end of the season that he can finally earn a profit. He fears that the federal government shutdown has effectively eliminated his chance to make a profit this year.
Many federal government workers have expressed frustration with their unexpected days off. They fear that the work is piling up, and their jobs will be even more demanding once they return.

Charters are hundreds of thousand of dollars in arrears in required payments... Chicago Teachers Pension Fund expands audit investigation into charter school irregularities in pension payments for eligible charter teachers
The Chicago Teachers Pension Fund (CTPF) is expanding an audit of Chicago's 108 charter schools and campuses following a preliminary report of widespread irregularities in the classification of charter school teachers who should be in the pension fund and widespread delays of payments to the fund for eligible teachers. The CTPF trustees voted at their December 12, 2012 meeting to expand an audit and to hold another meeting on December 19 to further review the problems with charter schools that are becoming more clear.
Chicago Teachers Pension Fund Vice President Lois Ashford (left), President Jay Rehak (center) and attorney Joseph Burns (right) listen during the presentation about the charter school audit during the CTPF trustees December 12, 2012 meeting. Substance photo by George N. Schmidt.The findings of the preliminary audit were reported to the regular meeting of the trustees on December 12 by auditor Robert Jurinek. While problems in complying with the law were widespread, several of the city's most prominent charter schools, including those who have received major subsidies from both CPS and from corporate donors, were reported to have major problems.
The auditor's report, for example, notes that Urban Prep's three campuses are "always behind in reporting" the required pension information. As of November 30, Urban Prep was behind more than $45,000 in money that should have been paid to the pension fund immediately.
The five campuses of Perspectives Charter School, according to the auditor's report, require "constant reminders that they owe money and are behind in processing transmittals." As of November 30, Perspectives was behind more than $130,000. Like Perspectives, Aspira's charter schools require regular reminders that they are required to make the payments. As of November 30, they were behind more than $35,000. Longstanding problems with the so-called "Youth Connections Charter School" were also noted by one of the trustees, who told Substance that Youth Connections has been problematic for more than a decade. Youth Connections became a charter school while Paul Vallas was CEO of CPS more than a decade ago. It consists of dozens of what were once small alternative schools, located in scattered sites across the city.
Other problems noted in the report are based on poor record keeping at the charter schools, which then send in changes.
The problems with the charter schools maintaining compliance with state law regarding teacher pensions was also evident during the November election for pension trustees. At that time, teacher members of the pension fund were eligible to vote for two of the six trustees representing active duty teachers. Although the charter schools are required to tell their eligible teachers of the right to vote in the elections, a large percentage of the charter schools did not conduct elections on the day of the election, and their election materials were returned unused. Teachers at those charter schools were thus deprived of their right to vote in the crucial election. The election saw the re-election of CTPF President Jay Rehak and Vice President Lois Ashford.

Trustee Jerry Travlos (representing the principals and administrators) looks on. Substance photo by George N. Schmidt.The investigation into the charter schools comes at a time when the controversial charters are again poised for expansion in Chicago, with the public support of Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the latest "Chief Executive Officer" of CPS, Barbara Byrd Bennett. Byrd-Bennett has told the public that she will recommend the opening of eight additional charter schools in the coming year, despite growing public opposition. The move to further expand the charter schools comes at a time when CPS is hosting hearings by a "Commission" appointed by Byrd Bennett to propose the closing of additional real public schools because of what she calls "underutilization."
By law, certified charter school teachers are members of the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund, and the charter schools are required to make regular payments to the fund of pension deductions from teacher paychecks. The charters are also required to maintain accurate and complete records of their teachers for this purpose. Prior to the rapid expansion of Chicago charter schools, payments for all teachers in the fund were made regularly by Chicago Public Schools. Problems began arising almost at the onset of the expansion of Chicago charters, according to one pension trustee who asked to remain anonymous, and have been growing with the expansion of the city's charter schools.
Panorama of the December 12, 2012 meeting of the trustees of the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund. Substance photo by George N. Schmidt.During the trustees meeting, Jurinek presented the trustees with a list of 28 of the city's 108 charter schools and campuses that presented serious problems uncovered by the audit. Because of the complexity of the audit, the trustees, after discussion, agreed to meet again before Christmas on the issue
Although the city's charter schools are exempt from some regulations in Illinois, all are required to make regular payments to the CTPF on behalf of their certified teachers, who are members of the fund. Like the teachers in Chicago's real public schools, certified charter school teachers are required to be members of the pension fund.
Among real public school teachers, administrators, including principals, are also members of the CTPF, and when they retiree Chicago Public School principals become recipients of a "teacher" pension. Many of the charter schools bestow titles on their administrators that do not conform to traditional public school administrative titles (such as "principal" or "superintendent"), instead choosing to label their executives using the jargon of corporate America. Just because a charter school calls a certified teacher who becomes an administrator a "Chief Executive Officer," however, does not mean that the charter school can avoid keeping that teacher as a member of the fund.
CTPF Preliminary Audit Reveals Reporting Irregularities
CHICAGO – December 14, 2012 – Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund recently conducted a preliminary audit of a sample of charter school employers to determine compliance with Illinois law regarding pension contributions. The results showed that more than 30 percent of charter schools were chronically late reporting payroll contributions and in making required payments to the fund.
"We need to ensure an adequate retirement for charter school members, just as we do for members at all other CPS schools," said Jay C. Rehak, president of the CTPF Board of Trustees. "I am dismayed that our preliminary review indicated a number of reporting irregularities and found that more than 30 percent of Charter Schools are chronically late in making their required contributions on behalf of our members. Based on these results, the CTPF Board of Trustees has authorized a comprehensive audit of all 108 charter schools."
Though CTPF was properly funded by teachers and their employers from the fund's inception in 1895 through 1995, it has suffered during the last two decades from a chronic underfunding by its primary employer, the Chicago Board of Education. A lack of adequate employer contributions and pension funding "holidays" have resulted in a $3.2 billion loss for the fund since 1995. This funding deficit is a primary reason CTPF's funded ratio has fallen to 59 percent in 2011, from 100 percent in 2002.
"CTPF is a well-managed fund, and we want to make sure that the problems we've seen with our primary employer don't spread to our other employers," explained Rehak.

Very interesting about charters
From my discussions with charter school teachers in the past the CTPF deductions are being made from their checks. So this raises the question of some of the charter schools actual cash flows and whether that is why they are falling behind in payments.
Rod Estvan

Money is Always the Answer
The more you look at the higher levels of accountability at CPS everything always leads back to money.
Clearly if the money is being deducted and then it is not being sent to the proper agency that is was deducted for then that is misallocation of funds. Last time I checked that was illegal.
Why is it an outside agency-- CTPF -- uncovering this and not the OIG? The reason for that is simple: the OIG is chasing down "illlegal" lunch forms applications that are no more than $400 for a student in a year. Yet they send two investigators and months of work hunting down the free lunch thieves! When they are not doing that, it's "tuition" problems, or teacher residency. When was the last time the OIG investigated anything illegal (or unethical) in the charter schools?

Cancer Treatment Centers of America Continues Support of Chiropractic
Jeffrey Sklar, DC, joined Cancer Treatment Centers of America's Philadelphia facility in 2009 and is currently the medical director of chiropractic services at the center.
"Over the last few years, I've been privileged to share my experience at CTCA with many of my colleagues from throughout the country. Chiropractic treatment can relieve pain and stiffness in joints and muscles caused or intensified by surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy," said Dr. Sklar in a press release from CTCA. "[This table] is just one more chiropractic tool to help reduce treatment side effects and improve the quality of life of our courageous patients."
Added Dr. Steffensmeier, who began manufacturing chiropractic adjusting tables 50 years ago from the basement of his Iowa practice: "Cancer Treatment Centers of America is one of very few institutions throughout the world that fully integrates chiropractic into their holistic approach to cancer care. I am confident that Dr. Sklar's patients will reap an even greater benefit from the many features this new table offers."
To learn more about Dr. Sklar and how chiropractic care is helping cancer patients, read our interview with him, "Cancer Care and Chiropractic," in the Oct. 21, 2010 issue; as well as "Interning With a CTCA Doctor of Chiropractic" in the July 15, 2011 issue.

Macquarie University to Cease Offering Chiropractic Program
Twenty-three years after Macquarie University and Sydney College of Chiropractic finalized merger documents, making the university the first to offer a chiropractic degree program, the university has announced it will begin discussions with other higher-education providers about taking over its chiropractic program, including staff and teaching facilities. The university offers a Master in Chiropractic.
In an April 24, 2013 press release from the institutionannouncing the university's intentions, Macquarie's executive science dean, Professor Clive Baldock, said: "Macquarie University has recently invested significantly in a postgraduate medical school and a state-of-the-art private hospital ... We naturally want to focus our efforts on supporting these initiatives with our teaching and research."
He added: "We believe our chiropractic degrees to be of the highest teaching quality, and they remain extremely popular with students ... We therefore believe the responsible thing to do is to begin discussions with other higher-education providers who are keen to grow in this area."
The university hopes to complete the transition by 2015; the proposal includes "the transfer of all Department of Chiropractic-taught units and degrees, and relevant capital assets .. [and] the potential transfer of a number of chiropractic academic staff together with their entitlements."

ATLANTA - Georgia lawmakers return Monday from last week's recess to organize their committees and settle into new offices.
The 10-day break was to allow the House and Senate appropriations committees to spend three days in joint hearings to let agency heads testify on their financial requests.
"Now the really hard work begins," said Sen. Appropriations Chairman Jack Hill, R-Reidsville.
The committees will work separately for the rest of the 40-day session - mostly in subcommittees - reviewing the $20 billion budget.
Many of the members will be doing it at new addresses.
It's not just the nearly one-third of the legislators who are newcomers who will be moving into offices. New committee chairmanships and leadership posts require senior members of the House and Senate to juggle the packing boxes and hang pictures on the wall.
Each committee will hold organizational meetings in the coming weeks to vote on rules and elect a secretary and vice chairman. But because few of the expected 1,500 bills to be considered this year have actually been introduced or assigned to committees, there is little else for them to do.
Lawmakers won't be idle. Special-interest groups will begin their annual flock to the Capitol.
The week starts with the biomedical industry Monday morning. Realtors rally on Tuesday. Charter-school advocates and nurses rally later in the week.
Local civic groups will also visit. Some come bearing gifts like Effingham County folks who deliver homemade raisin bread to every lawmaker.
Most meetings involve food. The Athens leaders hold a simple lunch Tuesday, and the Savannah leaders host the most sought-after and expensive blowout Thursday with steamed seafood.
While in town, the leaders usually arrange meetings. A few of the Effingham leaders will confer with officials from the Department of Transportation and with the Environmental Protection Division. Savannah Mayor Edna Jackson is the keynote speaker at the legislative breakfast of the WIN List, a group the helps liberal women candidates get elected.

When people think of "big" tattoo conventions there are a few that come to mind; London, Milan, Ink 'n Iron… But just like Darth Vader said in Empire, "There is another…"
As unlikely as it sounds, the tattoo convention held in Taiwan this Aug 5th –7th 2011, may actually be the biggest tattoo convention in the world? [Video link on expanded page]
The promoters for this event estimate attendance numbers will exceed 30,000. This year's guest artist is Ruth Pineda from L.A. Ink and last year's guest artist was Paul Booth. TAM decided this was too good to pass up, and Kent volunteered to represent the magazine at this year's show…
This is a link to the video from last year's convention: Taiwan Tattoo Convention Video
The show is tailored to accommodate tattoo artists by offering $12,000.00 dollars in contest prize money, which is divided into six to eight competition categories, with two $3,000 dollar grand prize winners. Also, tattoo artists will be treated to special events including an opening ceremony red carpet event in their honor.
To sign up or for more info contact Denise at: firstname.lastname@example.com. Denise is offering special booth rates for anyone that mentions TAM when contacting her. Offer ends after June 30th, 2011.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I thought it belonged here!
I've just today bought a box of Morinaga pancake mix, after considering it a few times. I understand the directions for the most part, but I'm completely stumped about this towel thing! I've tried googling it, but no luck. I watched the video on the site, but I still don't get it.
So, I hope somebody will know the answer. What am I supposed to do at the wet towel part? Do I heat up a really hot pan, put it on the towel for whatever reason, and then put it on lower heat...? I seriously don't know what's going on haha.
If anybody can shed a little light on this, I'd be really grateful!
I think I may have found them on the internet:
(Its the image on the left - the one on the right is for another brand)
I hope this helps someone who can answer you.
And welcome to the forum, tsukimi!
The wet towel is to cool down and even out the heat of the frying pan, so that the pancake cooks evenly. You're supposed to heat up the pan over medium heat. Keep in mind that most Japanese households have gas cooktops, and the wet-towel thing may not be necessary if you have an evenly heating electric/IH etc. cookstop.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Thank you so much! That makes plenty of sense now that I think about it.
Ahh~ now I can finally try and make these pancakes :")

My grandmother always baked us cookies for the Christmas. It was a tradition we looked forward to year after year. Her frosted sugar cookies were the best of all.
Today, although not the baker my grandmother was, I enjoy baking and decorating sugar cookies with my daughters. This year we used Style at Home's frosted ornament recipe. Using pink, green and white frosting and colorful sprinkles we decorated stars, trees and gingerbread men. Each delightful and unique. My girls were thrilled with their masterpieces and enjoyed eating them the most. I loved seeing the smiles on their faces and knew my grandmother would be proud that we were continuing the family tradition.
Have you been baking?
Happy Holidays!

I've had five incredible years in San Diego and grew up wanted to be a Padre, and my dream as a kid was to play in the major leagues and be a Padre. And my second dream was to be a Red Sox.
It was a couple of connections. It was one those things where you grow up and you always root for a National League team and an American League team. And the Red Sox had always been the American League team I rooted for, with Ted Williams, him being from San Diego and being a lefthanded hitter and one of the greats of all time, there have always been a lot of connections there.

Gonzalez's Two Dreams: Play For Padres, Red Sox

SI, July 6, 2009:
Blocked at first base by Derrek Lee in Florida and Mark Teixeira in Texas, Gonzalez was shipped to San Diego in a six-player deal in 2006 ... Upon hearing news of the deal, Gonzalez thought, "I get to play on Channel 4!" ...
Before a spring training game this season, Gonzalez noted that lefthander Joe Saunders was pitching for the Angels. "Saunders is going to pitch me away," he told hitting coach Jim Lefebvre, "and I'm just going to shoot the ball to left." "You're a power guy," Lefebvre replied. "Why are you just trying to shoot the ball to left?" Gonzalez pointed to a grassy hill over the leftfield fence where families were setting up picnics. "When I say I'm going to shoot it to left," Gonzalez clarified, "I mean I'm going to hit it up there." In the first inning he hit a home run onto that hill, scattering picnickers. Of Gonzalez's 24 homers through Sunday, 10 have been to centerfield, seven to left and seven to right, an unusually democratic distribution. ...
Teammates describe Gonzalez as earnest and intense, but he embraces the unorthodox. When the Padres were mathematically eliminated early last September, Gonzalez decided to take a strike against every pitcher he faced to see who was willing to challenge him. The exercise had to hurt him statistically, since he fell behind in counts, but it helped him predict how specific pitchers would approach him this season. ...

"The exercise had to hurt him statistically"
In those final 17 games:
avg: up 4 pts
obp: up 5 pts
slg: up 25 pts
dongs: hit 19.4% of his season total in a stretch that represented 10.5% of his season
Why didn't the guy just look it up?
He would have also seen that the story was bullshit. AG definitely took a strike a lot in those games, but usually he'd do it for the first few at bats, and then specifically swing at the first strike in his last at bat.

Zend Framework for high scale eCommerce
October 10, 2015 05:30
Zend framework is firstly designed for experienced professional developers, who have been part of international teams for years. With Zend Framework one could harness nuances of high scale eLearning, eCommerce and eBanking applications without fuss and implement robust, market demands meeting solutions. Zend Framework ships simple, without modules installed, so firstly to build up bare-bones for simple modular app, you will have to preinstall the set of GitHub hosted plugins and modules. Added to the mix, Microsoft is one of the main sponsors of the Zend Framework project, so your company would experience state of the art technologies mash up right away from the beginning of implementing theoretical application project to code stack. All in all, several international associations are awaiting you to enroll to enhance the experience of using Zend Framework 2.

Klout uses Node.js
The social ranking platform, Klout, used to use a PHP & LAMP stack but found it difficult to continue to scale, so when they had the chance they moved to a Node.js backend. They even wrote about switching to Node.js and how they use it. [additional source: http://blog.klout.com/2011/10/the-tech-behind-klout-com/]
Trello uses Node.js
The server side of Trello is built in Node.js. We knew we wanted instant propagation of updates, which meant that we needed to be able to hold a lot of open connections, so an event-driven, non-blocking server seemed like a good choice. Node also turned out to be an amazing prototyping tool for a single-page app. The prototype version of the Trello server was really just a library of functions that operated on arrays of Models in the memory of a single Node.js process, and the client simply invoked those functions through a very thin wrapper over a WebSocket. This was a very fast way for us to get started trying things out with Trello and making sure that the design was headed in the right direction. We used the prototype version to manage the development of Trello and other internal projects at Fog Creek.

MaxCDN uses Node.js
We decided to move the provisioning process to an API-driven process, and had to decide among a few implementation languages:
We built prototypes in both languages, and decided on NodeJS:
Getting into the headspace and internalizing the assumptions of a tool helps pick the right one. NodeJS assumes services will be non-blocking/event-driven and HTTP-accessible, which snapped into our scenario perfectly. The new NodeJS architecture resulted in a staggering 95% reduction in processing time: requests went from 7.5 seconds to under a second.

We have a SOA for our systems. It isn't quite Microservices jsut yet, but it does provide domain encapsulation for our systems allowing the leaderboards to fail without affecting the login or education content.
We've written a few internal modules including a very simple api framework.
I ended up picking Node.js because the game client is entirely in JavaScript as well. This choice made it a lot easier for developers to cross borders between being "client side" game developers and "server side" game developers. It also meant that the pool of knowledge/best practices is applicable almost across the company.

As for why I chose Node.js... I just love JavaScript! My code is all original, meaning that I didn't have to inherit anyone's bad Javascript. I'm perfectly capable of creating my own bad Javascript, thank you! Also, npm rocks!

The fun thing about iOS is that when an update goes wrong there, you always know who to blame: Apple (unless the device is jailbroken, in which case, it could be something else). When iOS 4 ended up being a disaster for many iPhone 3G owners, it was Apple's fault, plain and simple. With Android, the situation is incredibly murky, but then again, that's mostly because many Android devices simply aren't updated at all.
Windows Phone 7 is supposed to be the middle ground, and it seems Microsoft is having some issues there. It's currently rolling out a very minor and small update that only addresses the update process (a test update, probably), in preparation for the first big update next month. If you were to believe some of the hyperbole headlines, the entire process has been an utter disaster. If you look more closely, however, it seems it's not as big of a problem as some want to make it out to be.
Only one device is affected, and it's the Samsung Omnia 7. Of the Omnia 7s in the world, only those models running an older firmware may encounter the problem, which manifests itself in two ways: either the phone reboots during the update process but without the new update installed (bad but not disastrous), or it will actually get bricked (very bad!). Turns out that Omnia 7s running the older JI9, JID or JJ4 firmware versions could potentially run into problems.
Microsoft has halted the already staggered rollout of the update, at least for Samsung phones. It has already isolated the cause, and is working on a fix. In the meantime, the company instructs owners of bricked phones to exchange them at the stores where they bought them.
Other devices - LGs, HTCs - are not experiencing any problems and are updating just fine. This raises the question - how can something like this slip through? Well, I think that's because Microsoft did not test the update against the particular firmware versions that are causing problems for some Omnia 7 owners. Since no other devices are having issues, I'm simply guessing Samsung either failed to properly inform Microsoft about all the different Omnia 7 firmware versions, or that Samsung was clear but it got lost in communication somewhere.
Either way, it's mostly a PR issue, since the number of affected users appears to be small. On top of that, issues with smartphone updates are a-plenty; the aforementioned iOS4 issues, but also issues with 3.1, Sprint's HTC EVO fail, Samsung's Vibrant Froyo bricking in Canada, and so on.
Still, this is not fun for affected users, and it's not something Microsoft can use right now. I'm still waiting for the update on my HTC HD7, but I'm in The Netherlands where WP7 hasn't been launched yet, so I might be last in line. Hopefully I can report yay or fail while this story is still relevant.

The Department for Transport is considering legal options to abolish the minimum rates for parking penalty charges to allow local authorities to lower fines for minor parking violations.
It also wants local authorities to publish their parking accounts in a bid to create more transparency around fines.
It today formally responded to a Commons Transport Select Committee report published last year which found "a deep rooted perception that local authorities view parking enforcement as a cash cow".
It also said it was "hard to justify parking fines that are substantially more than the fines for more serious offences like speeding".
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin froze parking penalty charges in December for the remainder of the current Parliament.
He also published a public consultation on parking issues, including whether five minute grace periods, which some councils already operate voluntarily, should be made a statuary requirement.
It is also seeking views on whether to end the use of cameras for on-street parking enforcement.
Last year the Local Government Association calculated that councils made a £411m surplus from both on and off street parking in 2011-12, while the RAC Foundation said the figure was £565m.
The consultation will end on February 14.
Louise Ellman, chairwoman of the Transport Select Committee, welcomed the Government's consultation on the report's findings.
She told Daybreak: "There is a feeling that people aren't being treated very fairly, and that's what the report was about.
"Councils do have a lot of discretion and that's right as it is a local service.
"But it is about being reasonable.
"Councils must be much clearer about what they are doing with their money and what money they are making."
She added that councils are not legally allowed to put up parking fines in order to raise revenue but that Government needs to make the law clearer to local authorities.
Professor Stephen Glaister, director of the RAC Foundation, said parking fines need to be proportionate and urged councils to be more transparent.
"Parking can be big business for councils with English local authorities making a profit of almost £600 million between them last year," he said.
"We should see most parking offences for what they are. Not crimes but misdemeanours and we need enforcement that reflects this.
"We need some proportionality and transparency. At the very least all councils should publish an annual report outlining what their parking policy is, how charges are set and where any surplus goes.
"It was almost four years ago that the coalition promised to end the war on the motorist. It isn't over yet but perhaps these latest proposals will take us a step closer to victory."

Olympus OM-D E-M5
Posted 26 June 2012 - 11:35 AM
Regarding the EVF I have used the NEX-7 with the pickup finder on the Nauticam housing and could see a bit better than many of the APS-C DSLR's because the OLED finder is bigger. I find the sensor on the E-M5 to be about the same because of the 4:3 aspect ratio. The E-M5 sensor looks as tall in the viewfinder it is just not as wide.

I was able to use that same trick with several of my Olympus cameras like the E-3 but the E-M5 does not have a built in flash so that trick won't work.

There are several [e.g. google 4/3 to m4/3 adapter]. Check with Nauticam before you buy.
Although I don't know who makes/sells it, I'm pretty sure there's a port adapter for 4/3rds to m4/3rds. Can anyone help me with this? Assuming it exists, would it be compatible with the Nauticam housing, so I could use my 4/3rds glass? Thx, David

Another thing I like about this housing is what appears to be a new approach to pricing by Nauticam started I believe with the $1200.00 Panasonic NA-GX1 housing and now the $1350.00 NA-EM5 housing. This beings the housing cost more in line with the pricing of the cameras.

...But now you can have a Nauticam housing at comparable price....
Depending on whether or not you already have the appropriate ports, it will, more or less, distance itself further price-wise.
Posted 30 June 2012 - 08:09 AM
I am surprised that the flat port line up has none listed for the 17 - 30mm prime lenses. I had expected at least one for the popular 20mm F1.7 pancake from panasonic which would also fit the Oly 17mm F2.8. There is a very compact port for the Sony NEX housings, would that one also fit on the M43 housings?
Sea&Sea 110a, iTorch, GoPro3 BE
Posted 30 June 2012 - 09:41 AM
Since the referance was to the cost difference between an Ikelite housing and the Nauticam NA-EM5 housing the cost of the new ports will need to be made since Iklite will not be making a housing for the Olympus E-M5.
The only port adapters Nauticam makes at this time are for the DSLR housings not the mirrorless housing unless of course you count the adapter for the Nikonos lenses.
Nautican makes a 3.5 inch port for the Panasonic 14mm pancake, since all of the pancakes focus to around 20CM I think they would all work with that port.
All of the Nauticam ports for mirrorless cameras have the same mount and so would be interchangable between camera brands. Like the Sony 30mm macro port which is the same port as the panasonic 45mm macro port.

Thanks for clearing up my mistake regarding adapters. The Sony 16mm pancake lens is 22.5mm long and has a port for it. The 17mm Oly pancake is 22mm long so may work with that. The Panasonic 20mm is 25.5mm long so not sure if it will still fit. I agree that your dome suggestion would likely work but I rarely shoot WA so hope to make do without any dome ports, at least in the beginning.

It includes eight lenses (three are the 14-42 versions) listed to work with the stock PPO-EP01 port which unlike the PEN housings port has only one O-ring. No new gears are listed for the 45 F/1.8, 75mm F/1.8, 12-50 kit zoom or the coming this year 60mm macro. So the answer to will they fit the port is yes, the answer to can they take advantage of all the controls is NO at this time.
The Euro/British Pound based Olympus web sites still have the housing listed for around $1350.00-$1394.00 US.

Which Nauticam port can accommodate the 12-50 or are you referring to the upcoming port?
Posted 12 July 2012 - 10:35 AM
A new Nauticam port is being released for the 12-50 which will allow you to push the macro buttom on the lens and also zoom through the complete zoom range with the proper gear.

Over the years I have had many interesting conversations with seminarians, particularly on the subject of the diaconate. I sometimes find myself reflecting on my own eight years (1963-1970) as a high school and college seminarian, and our conversations back then about the renewed diaconate following the Council. To put it mildly, we've come a long way! However, the current practice of the Church to ordain seminarians to the diaconate en route to the presbyterate continues to cause confusion for many people, sometimes even among the clergy themselves.
Theologically, of course, there is only one diaconate, and it is a permanent state, just as there is only one presbyterate and one episcopate. We would not, for example, speak of a presbyter who becomes a bishop as a transitional priest! Bishops know that they are priests as well as deacons. We don't leave one order behind when we assume a different one.
However, with regard to the diaconate, our praxis suggests otherwise. One bishop years ago was asked to consider combining that year's ordinations of deacons (both "transitional" and "permanent" to emphasize the unity of the Order. The bishop declined, saying that while there is but one diaconate, "the sacramental ends are different," and he wanted to be able to tailor each ordination appropriately.
Those who exercise the diaconate permanently experience this in different ways, sometimes being asked by parishioners when their "real" ordination (meaning ordination to the presbyterate) will be, or if they might someday become a "real" priest. Imagine the reaction if someone asked a priest when his "real" ordination (meaning ordination to the episcopate) was going to happen, or if he was ever going to become a "real" priest (meaning a bishop).
Conversely, seminarians are discerning vocations to the presbyterate, not the diaconate, so this can add to the confusion: their experience of the diaconate, limited by time and opportunity to exercise the order, is substantially different from that of other deacons. Is it any wonder, then, that some seminarians struggle with the fact that they have indeed become "permanent" deacons?
What does any of this matter, especially in terms of ministry? It gives us presbyters and deacons some important things to ponder. First, the diaconate is something we share in common. As icons of Christ the Servant, all of us are deacons in a ministry grounded in the service of others. Some of us are, in addition, priests, icons of Christ the Priest.
However, the sacramental effects are cumulative, not exclusive. The common and deep foundation is found in the diakonia of the ordained diaconate. All deacons, even deacons later called to the priesthood, are permanent deacons.
Second, this common foundation includes the triple munus of Word, Sacrament, and Charity. The primum officium of all the ordained, according to the Second Vatican Council and subsequent documents from the Holy See, is official preaching and teaching. While we two orders exercise these ministries in distinctive ways, we share in the common responsibility for the Word. As brothers, we can and should be mutually supporting of each other's ministries, affirming the unique contributions of each order with regard to the Word of God and charitable service we offer to all.
Likewise, our sacramental ministries demonstrate our complementarity, especially at the common Eucharist we share. The interplay of the roles of the deacon and the priest at Mass are a sign of the partnership of responsibility to which we are ordained.
DEACON DITEWIG, Ph.D., former executive director of the Secretariat for the Diaconate at the USCCB, now teaches and ministers in the Diocese of Monterey, Calif. He writes and consults extensively on the subject of the diaconate and contemporary ministry.

The grand plan to bring horse racing to Atlantic City's beach this Columbus Day weekend has fizzled — at least for now.
Despite receiving Gov. Chris Christie's signature on a bill last month permitting its use, the race, which will be called the "American Palio in Atlantic City," will have to wait until at least next year before it becomes a reality.
Jeff Guaracino, spokesperson for the Atlantic City Alliance, said a number of dates during the calendar year had been considered — including Columbus Day weekend — but ultimately none were chosen.
"This date is not available this year," Guaracino said.
Guaracino was quick to point out that while the race will not be taking place before the end of the year, it had never been officially placed on the calendar to begin with and thus, has not necessarily been cancelled. He declined to speculate as to when the race might take place in the future.
"It just has not yet been scheduled," he said.
Dennis Drazin, an adviser to the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, said the legislation was finalized too late and time ran out on any chance of getting the race in this year.
"We were just running out of time," Drazin said. "We want to do it right if we're going to do it."
With nothing yet set in stone, Drazin said he hopes the race will be held either next spring or fall.
The race is modeled after the centuries-old Palio di Siena, a biannual racing event held in Siena, Italy. While the Italian version features a one-half mile track around the town square, Atlantic City's version would offer a distance of three quarters of a mile along the beach.
Early plans have called for a total of 50 horses to compete in a series of elimination races before the field is narrowed down to 10 for the championship race.

Congratulations to Linda and the entire Happy Heinys team on their many achievements and their dedication to providing USA made products - down in sunny San Diego, California!
Family Owned and Closely Operated Business Awards
January 5, 2010 - San Diego, California
Happy Heinys, one of the largest manufacturers of modern reusable cloth diapers, is proud to officially announce they have been selected to be a recipient of the Honoree Awards for the San Diego Family Owned and Closely Held Business Awards.
"This is a very special award for Happy Heinys and the owners and family members who work with us to receive," states Linda Byerline, CEO. "This company was founded due to the medical needs of our youngest child Sarah who was born prematurely. When the decision to take this originally small home business and turn it into a full fledge "real" business was made, it was made on the principles that family and local businesses were most important." Happy Heinys has strived to continue with those same principles today, 8 years later. As other similar businesses are taking their manufacturing over-seas to China, the owners of Happy Heinys refuse to follow suit stating, "the lack of quality control when product production is out of your hands is next to zero. It is well known that the USA tends to produce higher quality goods and it is our desire to manufacture only the highest quality reusable diaper we can," explains Byerline.
About the Family Owned and Small Business Awards:
San Diego Business Journal celebrates and recognizes San Diego's family-owned and closely held businesses. The award honors those with familial ties as well as those having 3 or less individuals who own more than 50% of the business. Some of the items taken into consideration in choosing the Honorees are: the size of business, amount of family working in the business, and charitable contributions. There were a total of 46 finalists and in the small business category there were just 3 Honorees that included MLB Industries Inc dba (doing business as) Happy Heinys.
About Happy Heinys
Happy Heinys first opened in January 2002 after the premature birth of the third child of Linda Byerline. It was a true invention of necessity. Over the last 6 years Happy Heinys has become one of the largest manufactures of modern day reusable cloth diapers and one of the most popular cloth diapers in Hollywood and among the world's favorite celebrity babies as well as the #1 rated reusable cloth diaper on the internet.

text: Hello all. Just want to introduce myself. I bought my 1st BMW a month ago. I bought a 2012 R1200RT and loving every mile so far. In the past I have owned a few Harleys and after riding a BMW demo I was hooked on the BMW's. Looking forward to learning a lot from the experienced BMW owners.
