Microsoft Buys Cloud Customer-Service Firm
Jan 7, 2014 12:50 PM PT
Microsoft on Tuesday announced that it will acquire Parature, which provides customer engagement solutions as a service.
Parature's technology will add self-service, support ticketing and other capabilities to Microsoft Dynamics.
Microsoft reportedly will pay US$100 million for the company.
"Once the deal closes, Parature will become part of Microsoft," Parature cofounder and CMO Duke Chung told CRM Buyer, but "Parature cloud services will continue to be available for purchase separately."
What Parature Will Bring to Dynamics
Parature's technology lets organizations set up self-service portals on the Web and Facebook.
It lets users provide mobile customer care on any device; enables social customer support; and leverages chat -- both in traditional customer service scenarios and for proactive sales engagement to create new revenue-generating opportunities.
The purchase will let Microsoft go after an increasingly important market: small and medium businesses.
"Parature targets the SMB market, and Microsoft Dynamics targets larger organizations," Kate Leggett, a principal analyst at Forrester Research, told CRM Buyer.
Microsoft "is plugging some functionality gaps with Parature," she added.
Baby Steps
In the short term, the Parature acquisition "is going to have little impact on the market," Michael Maoz, a vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner, told CRM Buyer.
However, "in the two- to three-year time frame, if Microsoft continues to make good decisions, it could have a small to medium impact on the market," he suggested.
Microsoft's history in the CRM product space "has been less than stellar," Maoz elaborated. The company has "had a lot of fits and starts" and, despite having been in the market for 15 years, has trailed companies like Salesforce.com.
Further, Parature "is focused primarily on U.S.-based organizations, with more than 90 percent of its customers being U.S.-based," Maoz pointed out.
It "has only a dozen sales people to speak of, with no data centers outside of the U.S., so scalability is a big question," he noted. "So this is a small step. Microsoft is not trying to make a big step."
Where Dynamics Stands
For what Microsoft Dynamics offers, it is doing well, Forrester's Leggett observed. However, that may not be enough.
Perhaps Microsoft has made its mark in the CRM space "in terms of trailblazing technology," Gartner's Maoz said, "but in terms of trailblazing business applications, integration with partners, or integrating technologies and putting them together into a compelling suite -- no."
Microsoft has "a lot of great assets, from Skype to Lync to Yammer, and on paper they sound great," he added, but it does not do so well "when it comes to packaging business applications in the CRM space and the new methods of delivery like cloud and customer engagement."
Microsoft Dynamics could make more headway, Maoz opined, if it took steps to improve its partner network, beef up its system integrator and consultants ecosystems, and further build out its complementary vendor ecosystem and its direct sales and support organizations.

It's one thing to be creative, but how can someone pretend to be a female poster for years' on end? I can't see Johansen pulling it off. Smart enough - definitely. Interested enough - I doubt it. If he actually did do that then I don't think he would've told anyone.....even you and ODB. He would've had too much fun p3wning Ohdee.

Acceptances, Denials, and Waitlists / Vermont or Campbell University?« on: April 21, 2011, 12:48:06 PM »
I have been accepted to Vermont and Campbell. I am interested in Environmental and/or Land Use Law. Obviously, VLS is the better specialized education but with absolutely no financial aid rewarded and a price tag of 41k/year, it is hard to justify such a financial burden. Campbell is at 30k/year and if I attended there, I would most likely transfer to George Mason or W&M (if my grades are good enough). What do you all suggest? Is Vermont worth the pricetag?

The fact that Comiskey is no longer called Comiskey is a sign of how Chicago has changed, and not for the better. But then, the old Comiskey had a date with the wrecking ball almost two decades ago. The new park -- bland, lifeless, another corporate sellout -- is the kind of ersatz place marketers and con men try to pass off as authentic in a world that no longer remembers what authentic means.
"We grew out of the beer-cork stage into lagging for ten-for-a-penny pictures of baseball players," Nelson Algren wrote about the real White Sox in "A Lot You Got to Holler," a story from his 1947 breakthrough book, "The Neon Wilderness." "Like the beer corks, some of these had a larger value than others: I remember trading an entire strip of ten to get just one of Joe Jackson. And a month later, when Jackson had been kicked out of organized baseball, I had to give one of him, one of Buck Weaver, and two Happy Felsches just to get one Ray Schalk -- who'd been on the original strip I'd traded for Shoeless Joe in the first place."
Algren would have turned 100 this year, and it's an open question as to whether he would have recognized this new Chicago, although the city seems intent on recognizing him. His face -- skeptical, wary, framed by a red hunting cap and the upturned collar of an overcoat -- peers out from the cover of the Chicago Reader, teasing to a previously unpublished piece of fiction called "Entrapment," taken from "Entrapment and Other Writings" (Seven Stories: 304 pp., $19.95 paper), a new book edited by Brooke Horvath and Dan Simon to mark Algren's centennial. En route to Steppenwolf, a cabbie offers a detour past Algren's old digs on Wabansia Avenue, in a working-class neighborhood turned hipster hangout, where the factories have been resurrected as lofts.
Fans in high places
Then, there's the action at the theater. Arranged in a line across the stage are nine chairs, in which sits an unlikely array of people, beginning with Simon and "Wild at Heart" author Barry Gifford, and featuring novelists Russell Banks and Don DeLillo and actor Willem Dafoe. Together, they're rehearsing a bit of reader's theater called "Nelson Algren Live," which will be performed this night before a packed house, including Harold Augenbraum, executive director of the National Book Foundation, and former Life magazine photographer Art Shay, who took the most iconic shots of the author, black-and-whites of him playing poker or peering through barroom windows, pictures so gritty you can almost feel the dirt rise off the frame.
These photos, as much as anything, are responsible for Algren's image as "the poet of the Chicago slums," yet they also cast him in amber: a midcentury figure, smoking a cigar, eyebrows raised behind round glasses, turning over another card. Sixty years after winning the first National Book Award, for his 1949 novel of addiction, "The Man With the Golden Arm," Algren has become vestigial enough that discussions of a national celebration were scaled back after, as Augenbraum notes in an e-mail, "we concluded that though his writing continued to resonate, the number of his readers and his currency among the general reading public had diminished."
So what, exactly, is Algren's legacy? That's the question the Steppenwolf event means to raise. The show is built around a series of interviews he gave in the early 1960s to a writer named H.E.F. Donohue (later published as "Conversations With Nelson Algren"). The one-night-only affair seems appropriate, given Algren's state of cultural eclipse. Perhaps the most telling anecdote comes by way of the late Studs Terkel, the author's lifelong friend, who recalls going to see Billie Holiday with Algren in 1956, when Lady Day was getting near the end.
In Terkel's words: "Billie's voice was shot, though the gardenia in her hair was as fresh as usual. Ben Webster, for so long a big man on tenor, was backing her. He was having it rough, too. Yet they transcended. There were perhaps fifteen, twenty patrons in the house. At most. Awful sad. Still, when Lady sang 'Fine and Mellow,' you felt that way. And when she went into 'Willow, Weep for Me,' you wept. Something was still there, that something that distinguished an artist from a performer: the revealing of self. Here I be. Not for long, but here I be. In sensing her mortality, we sensed our own."
An incredible run
That something that distinguished an artist from a performer: This is also at the heart of Algren's writing, or at least the five books he produced between 1942 and 1956, which remain among the most serious and moving in American literature. Beginning with "Never Come Morning," the story of a Polish hoodlum and boxer in Chicago, and ending with his New Orleans romp "A Walk on the Wild Side," it's as good a run as has ever been put together by any writer anywhere.
With these books, Algren defined postwar American urban fiction, interweaving threads of social realism, his own leftist politics and noir. Still, what drives his work is always character, the challenges and degradations of daily living, of trying to make one's way in a world that doesn't care.
In "The Captain Has Bad Dreams," the story that opens "The Neon Wilderness," Algren describes a cop haunted by the men in the evening's lineup. "In sleep," he writes, "he saw their pale lascivious faces; watched them moving like blind men beneath the thousand-columned El, where a calamitous yellow light filtered downward all night long. In this tragic and fluorescent dream they passed and repassed him restlessly, their faces half averted, forever smiling uneasily as though sharing some secret and comforting knowledge of evil which he could never know."
In "The Man With the Golden Arm," he remembers "the luckless living soon to become the luckless dead. The ones who were fished out of river or lake, found crumpled under crumpled papers in the parks, picked up in the horse-and-wagon alleys or slugged, for half a bottle of homemade wine, in the rutted tunnels that run between the advertising agencies and the banks." Here we have the people who populate Algren's fiction, and much of it -- especially the short stories -- is written in their language, as if in giving voice to the voiceless, Algren has uncovered the true purpose of literary art.
These are the voices that ring out at the Steppenwolf, the voices of Frankie Machine and Sparrow Saltskin, of Rose, the narrator of "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone," who seduces an innocent into drugs to get at his money, only to end up feeling "that I was wadin' in a lake late at night up to my chin 'n the water gettin' deeper all the time 'n tryin' to push me off my feet, 'n not knowin' where the shore was any more in the dark." And then there's Blackie, the drunken boxer of "The Lightless Room" -- a 1939 story, published for the first time in "Entrapment" -- that Dafoe animates with a perfect Irish brogue.
"He revealed in his writing a kind of isolation, loneliness and sadness that he had a hard time revealing in his life," Banks explains in the theater's ramshackle green room between the rehearsal and the performance. DeLillo agrees. "I used to think of him alone," he says. "He had friends, but he was not attached. I used to wonder what that was like."
As they talk, Gifford and Simon drift over, and soon they're all back-and-forthing about their favorite Algren books. DeLillo picks "Never Come Morning"; Banks prefers "The Neon Wilderness," calling it "a perfect book." Gifford splits the difference and opts for both, while Simon chooses "The Man With the Golden Arm." Someone brings up "Chicago: City on the Make," the 1951 "prose poem" that made Algren persona non grata in his own town. "How many writers are there," Banks asks, "about whom we could sit around and argue what's their best book? With him, you have four or five."
A long falling out
All this raises the question: Why hasn't Algren lingered more? Partly, Banks suggests that it has to do with the bifurcation at the heart of his work: "The people he wrote about," he says, "were different than those who read his books, which is a divide that's impossible to get around."
But not unlike Lady Day, Algren flamed out, falling prey to alcohol and bitterness. He left Chicago first for Paterson, N.J., where he moved to write about Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, the boxer unjustly convicted of triple murder, and then for Long Island, where he died in 1981 at age 72. He sold "The Man With the Golden Arm" to Otto Preminger but hated the 1955 movie, reportedly grumbling that "Sinatra shook heroin like he shook a summer cold." Algren alienated everyone, complaining that he hadn't gotten what he deserved and then didn't write a book worth reading for the last 25 years of his life. "Some fighters can only go eight," Gifford says, "and he got tired, like Kerouac got tired." And yet, he continues, "He wrote enough."
Gifford's correct, of course, although it's not just a matter of what he wrote, but how. He stood up for what was important, and for what was right. " 'What is literature?' Jean-Paul Sartre once asked in a small volume bearing that title," Algren declared, invoking his rival for Simone de Beauvoir's affections, in a 1961 afterword to "Chicago: City on the Make."
"I submit that literature is made upon any occasion that a challenge is put to the legal apparatus by conscience in touch with humanity.
"Now we all know."

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – Paced by a sixth-place finish from Paul Welle and two other runners in the top 12, the MIT men's cross country team captured its first ever NCAA New England Division III Regional Championship on Saturday afternoon. With a team total of 93 points, the Engineers beat out a number of nationally-ranked squads to secure the team title for the first time in program history. All five of MIT's scoring runners received All-New England honors thanks to their top 35 finishes.
Welle navigated the eight-kilometer course in 25:57.7, good for sixth overall, the best showing by a Tech harrier since Ben Schmeckpeper won the race in 2004. Daniel Harper's time of 26:08.0 put him in 11th place, just ahead of Roy Wedge (26:10.6). Stephen Serene (26:29.7) came through in 29th overall and Gihan Amarasiriwardena (26:41.8) was 35th.
Williams College was Tech's closest competition, finishing eight points back. With the Regional title, MIT earns a team bid in next weekend's NCAA Division III National Championship. The meet is hosted by Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa next Saturday, November 20.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Featuring 35 contests within the friendly confines of Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium, the 2014 schedule is set for Lipscomb baseball.
Among those 35 home tilts, the Bisons start out by playing 17 of the first 20 affairs on the southeast corner of the Lipscomb campus
"We started talking about playing at home a little more as a staff," said Lipscomb head coach Jeff Forehand. "This year it began working out where we had some opportunities to get more opponents in early in the nonconference schedule."
After opening a three-game set against Evansville on Valentine's Day at 4 p.m., the Bisons make the short trek to take on Southeastern Conference power Vanderbilt at Hawkins Field. Lipscomb continues play in February hosting the "Mule Mix Classic" as Indiana State, Dayton and Miami (Ohio) make their way to the "Music City" for the annual round-robin event co-hosted by Belmont and Middle Tennessee.
"The teams in the classic really like coming to Nashville," said Forehand. "All three are good teams and it has turned out to be a good tournament in the past and should be a good one again."
Following a midweek contest at Tennessee Tech and a home outing against Alabama A&M, the Bisons are set to host Big East foe Connecticut for a three-game weekend series at Dugan Field.
"UConn was looking to come in on the weekend that we usually try to travel out to a bigger SEC or ACC school, but we decided that it was better for us to have a good series at home," said Forehand.
After hosting the Huskies, Lipscomb heads up Interstate 65 for a midweek game at Western Kentucky before coming home to host Horizon League foe Oakland in a four-game series including the only scheduled twinbill of the season. A trip to Austin Peay is then on the books before the Purple and Gold open Atlantic Sun Conference play at home hosting Jacksonville.
The longest road swing of the series then awaits Lipscomb with a midweek game at Middle Tennessee before the first conference road series of 2014 to take on Kennesaw State in the suburbs of Atlanta. MTSU then returns the trip to Dugan Field the following week before the Bisons make another A-Sun road trip to USC Upstate.
Lipscomb then plays eight of the next nine contests at home hosting Western Kentucky, ETSU, Mercer and Belmont with a midweek trek to UT-Martin squeezed in the middle.
The Bisons will then spend Easter weekend on the road in the "Sunshine State" with the league series at Stetson and then continue road action with a midweek contest at rival Belmont. LU returns home to close out April by hosting Northern Kentucky as the Norse make their first trip to Dugan Field.
A unique three-game nonconference series with Tennessee Tech opens the month of May as Lipscomb plays host to the first two games of the series on Friday and Saturday before the final game of the weekend will be played in Cookeville. The Bisons then hosts the return trip by UT-Martin before making the final A-Sun road trip of the season to North Florida.
Lipscomb returns home from Jacksonville, Fla. to host in-state foe Austin Peay and A-Sun opponent Florida Gulf Coast to finish the regular slate.
"For several years we didn't get to finish at home, "said Forehand. "It usually comes down to the last weekend in our league to the one or two or three games at the end of the year. Being able to play those at home is a bonus. We are excited about having one of the best teams in the league here to close out the season."
Season tickets will go on sale soon. For more information, call 615-966-HERD (4373).

For me I just start pissing with my phone till the nightmare ends.
Name-dropping. Especially when it is when it is over really stupid ****.
Here's one that grinds my gears: people who walk around the office with headsets on having phone conversations/teleconferences. SIT IN YOUR DAMN CUBES!My company pipes in white noise to minimize crap like this, but it doesn't work if you are pacing back and forth on the aisle right next to me!It's like some of these people cannot have a coherent conversation unless they are in physical motion.
How about a guy that's on a wireless headset, pacing back and forth, IN MY CUBE! He sometimes paces from his desk to the aisle and back and other times he paces behind me and my other co-worker. The three of us share a big cube. It's not only anoying as **** that I have to listen to him on the phone and that he's walking around, but I also hate it when people stand behind me period. That makes it twice as much of a pain in the ass. E...

When you aim for perfection, you discover it's a moving target. ~George Fisher
Don't let your desire for perfection get in the way of your marketing goals. Being hesitant and indecisive when forming ideas for your interactive marketing strategy can waste a lot of valuable time. It can also cost you some valuable leads that you would be generating if you had just committed to getting it up and running. Time is money, and the more time you spend not having an effective online marketing solution, the less money you are going to be making.
Some people will spend months or years polishing a business plan, making sure every single detail is examined and estimated, only to find that in practice, it's not as they imagined it. That's way too much time wasted planning and thinking, when they should have be doing and learning.
The same is true about your Interactive Marketing Solution. You know that you need to figure something out to stay competitive. All this talk about Web 2.0, corporate blogging, and social media is pretty confusing. It's scary knowing that you need to do something, yet having no clue on what to do. How can you identify what is right for your company?
Well, the best advice is to let someone (I suggest MasterLink) help you formulate an Interactive Marketing Action Plan. Working with a collaborative Interactive Marketing partner to identify your goals and objectives is a great way to establish what your interactive marketing solution should be. By setting goals, it is then easy to work backwards to discover ways of achieving them. Hey, it turns out you don't need that corporate blog or the fancy 3-d flash intro after all. Nice!
Marketing is an ongoing process. You discover that your favorite campaigns are not quite as effective as you planned, or that the one you had no hopes for, surprisingly has a high conversion rate. Because the nature of marketing is so volatile, the best strategy is to get it going and just test, tweak, test, tweak, test, etc.
You can come up with millions of excuses not to get a website up, not to set up a Pay-Per-Click campaign to drive traffic to your company's product pages, or not to start utilizing Search Engine Optimization to increase your business' online visibility and credibility. Stop it! Quit making excuses.
Your best option is to start right now before your competition leaves you in their dust. When you spend so much time looking for the "best" choice that you never actually do anything, you are sabotaging your company.
Even if the target is moving, it still is best to shoot. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

There's a tendency among voters disgusted by the discord in Washington to declare a pox on both parties, blaming them equally for the partisan rancor and gridlock. Because both sides offer up periodic examples of stubbornness and stupidity, it can be difficult for a casual observer to sort out who is most blameworthy.
And that's why a new book by Thomas Mann, a senior fellow in governance studies at the center-left Brookings Institution, and Norman Ornstein, a resident scholar at the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute, is an important contribution to understanding today's politics. Mann and Ornstein are widely respected, even-keeled, non-polemical observers who have studied the ways of Washington for decades, so their observations should carry significant weight with serious people.
And in "It's Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided with the New Politics of Extremism," the two conclude that the Republican Party bears most of the responsibility for today's political dysfunction.
Mind you, that hardly means the Democrats are faultless. The two political scientists note that they have previously scolded Democrats for, among other things, having been arrogant to the GOP opposition during their long post-war reign in the congressional majority, for their over-the-top rhetoric in opposing Robert Bork's nomination to the US Supreme Court, and for abuse of the filibuster in blocking some qualified conservative jurists such as Miguel Estrada.
But the principal problem, they say, lies with the GOP, which under pressure from movement conservatives and Tea Party types, has shifted sharply to the right.
"Today's Republican Party ... has become ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromises; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence, and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition, all but declaring war on the government," they write. They add: "On issues from health reform to climate change to energy production, Republicans in Congress opposed, obstructed and tried to nullify policies proposed by President Obama that many of them had recently embraced, and repeatedly took hostages and made non-negotiable demands in lieu of real give-and-take."
In examples that will resonate locally, Mann and Ornstein cite Senate Republicans' thwarting of a full term for Donald Berwick at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, their filibuster threat if Elizabeth Warren were named to run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and their refusal to hold a confirmation vote on former Ohio attorney general Richard Cordray for that agency as examples of "the new nullification": blocking well-qualified nominees as a way to obstruct laws they disagree with.
It's a stark break with the Republicanism of decades past. "Republican Presidents Eisenhower and Nixon and congressional leaders such as Senators Everett Dirksen, Hugh Scott, Howard Baker, and Bob Dole, and Representatives Gerald Ford, John Rhodes, and Bob Michel, pragmatic institutional figures who found ways to work within the system and focused on solving problems, are unimaginable in the present context," they write.
This is an important book and, I think, a particularly courageous one on the part of Ornstein, who makes his professional home at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. Ornstein has long had a well-deserved reputation as a clear-eyed, non-partisan centrist who arrives at careful analytical conclusions, and it's one he values.
"It has always been one of my great pleasures when I give a speech and people come up afterward and say, 'we don't really know what side you are on,' " he told me yesterday. "Doing this is going to make it hard to maintain that, but I came to the conclusion that you build that capital to use it when you need it. The situation is alarming enough and troubling enough that I had to call it as I saw it."
The reaction? He's heard nothing directly from sitting members of Congress, Ornstein says, "but I have heard from lots of former members, many of them saying, 'thanks for doing this, we are alarmed at what is happening to our party.' "
Ornstein and Mann offer a number of thoughtful and interesting suggestions for fixing the system. That said, the view here is that change won't come unless and until there's a public recognition and rejection of the tactics the GOP has employed. But in their careful chronicling and evaluation of those tactics, the two have done us all a real service.Scot Lehigh can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Morgan Park
Morgan Park
The Markham Horticultural Society was founded about 1920 with the mandate of beautifying the Village. The Society hosted an annual flower show and competition, arranged lectures, encouraged the improvement of private lawns, perennial borders, and shrubbery, "for which Markham is fast becoming famous," and was responsible for the creation of (Railway) Station Park. In 1923, the Dominion Horticultural Council granted Markham Village official status as a Rose Demonstration Plot and Council permitted the Markham Horticultural Society the use of the north half hectare of Morgan Park as a rose plot. In April 1924, the Markham Rose Test Plot was planted with the newest, rarest and best varieties of roses from "many of the leading rose growers in England, Ireland, Holland and the United States." More than a 1,000 rose bushes were expected to be set out that spring and more in the fall. The growers were interested in having new varieties tested in the Markham climate and shown to the public. The success of "Markham's Rose Garden" was described in the Markham Economist and Sun on June 27, 1935:
With Markham's Rose Garden a mass of bloom, the usual interest in this beauty spot is being taken by visitors and town people generally. Lovers of flowers and shrubs find in this well arranged and well kept garden a very great source of attraction while an occasional hour spent there affords much pleasure.
The rose garden soon attracted thousands of visitors. When King George VI came to Canada in 1939, an oak tree was sent from England and planted in the garden.
A bandshell was erected in the park for evening concerts performed by the Town band. Tennis courts, a bowling green, playground equipment, and a lighted ball diamond for minor baseball, softball, and ladies slow pitch were also added. In 1957, the rose garden was dismantled to make way for the Lions Club swimming pool that continues to be open during the summer months.

FlexScan F9301 May, 2000 By: Ron LaFon
Star rating: 4 stars out of 5
The Eizo/Nanao FlexScan F930 is based on an Invar shadow-mask CRT that produces a 19.7" viewable area with a 0.25mm dot pitch. Horizontal scan rates are 30130KHz, and vertical scan rates are 50160Hz. Displays of up to 2048x1536 at 80Hz are possible, and what Eizo/ Nanao calls a SuperErgo Coat is effective at minimizing reflections. The monitor provides both BNC and standard mini D-sub connectors. An attachable speaker unit ($45 ESP) for multi-media applications is available as an accessory, as is an attachable USB hub unit ($99 ESP) that provides one upstream port and four down-stream ports.
The F930 weighs in at 63.8lb and offers a standard warranty: three years on labor, parts, and CRT. Though the F930 offers a good range of adjustments via an on-screen menu and offers such extras as menu positioning and the ability to save settings, accessing them is not as easy as it could be. The front bezel of the monitor has a button for brightness and contrast, an autosizing button, and a single button for controlling the menu. I couldn't use this buttonwhich has up and down, right and left, and press controls with any degree of accuracy.
The FlexScan F930 didn't produce outstanding results on the CADALYST testsonly brightness and focus produced a perfect score. Above-average scores appeared for contrast, focus, geometric distortion, and convergence raster rotation, with lower results for color purity. Reds tended toward magenta, and separation among greens was indistinct. The Eizo/Nanao FlexScan F930 needs some reengineering to improve the quality and usability of the on-screen menu controls. R.L.

2012 Tour Stop #9 - Central MD Swinetastic BBQ FestivalJune 16, 2012
This time last year, Christine and I had an off weekend in the Washington, D.C. area so we stopped by the Central Maryland Swinetastic BBQ Festival. We were extremely impressed by the organization and the professionalism of this first-year contest, so we were very happy to learn we would be attending the festival this year.
Teams started loading in on Thursday. At this event, for the most part, teams are loaded in as they arrive and then placed in that order. It makes for a very orderly load-in and forces teams to make new friends. For us, it was super easy as event-helper Max quickly greeted us and led us to our spot right in the middle of the event.
We were surprised to have a visitor, Mike, from our prior weekend at the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party stop by to see us again. Mike told me about a barbecue he would be cooking for at Walter Reed Hospital and I encouraged him to stop by again later and we would send what we could to help out. We gave Mike some extra Smithfield® loins and ribs to help the cause. I received an e-mail from Mike the following week with a forwarded message from the event organizer who shared how successful the event was for all involved. It was nice to be able to make a small contribution.
Many events still use the standard trophies for the winners, but the Central Maryland Swinetastic BBQ Festival went above and beyond all expectations. They had a chainsaw artist on hand to carve the Grand Champion, Reserve Grand Champion and category winner trophies. The chainsaw artist carved a 3-foot-tall rooster for chicken, "Fred Flintstone" ribs for the rib category, a pig for pork and a longhorn steer head for brisket.
A total of 69 teams competed at the event's second year and at the end of the day, 4:20 Q won the chicken category, Big D's won the rib category, Philly Blind Pig BBQ won the pork and Big Mook's BBQ won brisket. Tasty Licks BBQ won Reserve Grand Champion and Deguello BBQ won Grand Champion! This event had the highest percentage of Kingsford® cooks of any contest we have been at yet and all the category winners, Reserve Grand Champion and Grand Champion cooked with Kingsford® charcoal.
We are usually the last ones packing up at an event, but not this time. Tom and Marie from Philly Blind Pig BBQ seemed to be packing and unpacking everything in their vehicle. Being experienced packers ourselves, Christine and I went over to offer assistance. It seemed they had not planned on taking home a 100-pound tree trunk carved into a pig for their pork win, so they were having trouble making it fit. I offered to haul it around for them but was told that Marie would be left before the pig would. I "think" Tom was just kidding… Lucky for Marie, they made everything fit.

Staten Island, NY – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, issued the following comment in response to the Ohio Supreme Court's refusal to make redacted medical records available in a case of alleged failure to report child abuse. "It's hypocritical for the Ohio Supreme Court to be concerned about the privacy of girls receiving abortions at Planned Parenthood when, by keeping the redacted, anonymous records secret, it is in fact protecting the privacy of older men who abuse underage teens. The Court, by its decision, is enabling and perpetuating injustice."

An analysis of uranium exploration and price
R. Price*
The primary production of uranium has been less than reactor requirements since the mid-1980s and secondary sources have had to make up the difference. By 2002, world uranium production provided only about 54% of world reactor requirements. This dependence on secondary supplies is projected to continue into the near future. Over the longer term, however, primary production will need to expand.
One result of the abundance of secondary sources has been a consistently depressed market price for uranium over the past several decades. These low market prices led to the curtailment of exploration and the closing and/or consolidation of many uranium production companies and production centres. Consequently, during this time the level of uranium exploration has been at low levels and mainly oriented towards development. Yet, after 2020, when secondary sources of uranium are expected to decline in availability, reactor requirements will have to be increasingly met by primary production. To meet this increasing demand, primary production capability will need to increase significantly. As a first step, new exploration will be needed to provide the increased resource base necessary to support this expansion. A barrier to new exploration has been the low price for uranium. Over the past several years, though, there has been a significant increase in the market price of uranium. Since the beginning of 2001, the price of uranium has rebounded from lows not seen since the early-1970s, and had almost doubled by July 2004.1
Yet, despite the significance of this increase in relative terms, this price rise remains relatively modest at this point when compared with the historic peaks of the 1970s or even the shortlived peak in the mid-1990s, especially when viewed in constant terms (see Figure 1).
Will this increase in market price result in the increased exploration needed to support new production capability? To answer this question, a review of the data collected over the past 40 years was conducted to attempt to determine whether exploration could be expected to respond to this price recovery, and in what time frame increased exploration could be expected to result.
Data on uranium exploration was taken from the OECD/ NEA series of publications entitled Uranium Resources, Production and Demand (known as the Red Book). The data there represent the total amount of money spent on exploration within a given country regardless of whether the source was domestic or foreign. Data on the price of uranium was taken from NUEXCO/TradeTech and was the annual average of the endof- month unrestricted exchange values (without premiums). 2
A look at Figure 1 indicates a possible correlation between price and exploration and further points to a time lag between a change in uranium price and changes in exploration expenditures. For world expenditures, the best correlation was observed with a oneyear delay (see Figure 2).
The improvement in correlation when a time delay is introduced corresponds logically to the delays as the influence of the uranium price change works its way through the decision-making process in the exploration companies, as well as the time needed to initiate field studies once a decision has been reached. The results suggest that exploration is a competitive and open sector of the uranium industry, sensitive to uranium price, and aggressively responds to market signals.
The results indicate that even relatively modest price increases are followed by increases in exploration expenditures. Data for 2004 exploration expenditures is not yet available to verify whether market behaviour is indeed following as predicted, but press reports are providing circumstantial, anecdotal evidence that exploration activity is already picking up in Australia, Canada and the United States, thus leading to the conclusion that data will likely show an increasing trend.
Analysis using surface drilling data, a more direct measure of exploration activity, was also conducted to see if this would lead to a better predictor. Adequate data on surface drilling was available for Australia, Canada and the United States for the period 1975-2002. When plotted, however, the results were similar and showed no improvements over the results provided in Figure 2.
With reactor requirements to be increasingly met by primary production in the coming years, it is necessary to ensure that sufficient new discoveries of uranium are made to enable the expansion of production capability as secondary sources decline. Increased exploration activity will be needed to provide the resource base required to build new or expand existing production capability. An analysis of historical information indicates that past price increases have resulted in increased exploration. Recent price increases can therefore be expected to begin the increased exploration needed to support the expansion of uranium production capability.
1. TradeTec, LLC (from www.uranium. info/index.html).
2. Total exploration expenditure includes exploration and development expenditures. Exploration includes the costs of all types of surveys, including: surface and underground drilling, logging, test mining and other costs related to the search for new deposits or extensions to known deposits. Prior to 1989 world data does not include the countries associated with the former Soviet Union and certain other non-western countries, e.g. China and Mongolia, and so represents only a sample of world activity and not the entire population. The inflation index used to convert to constant 2003 dollars was the Producer Price Index. Historical values of this index were obtained from http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/bu2/ inflation/ppi/inflatePPI.html.

LS Brown Collection
Ron Guth:
Up until 1971, the Mint made only Proof Sets and Mint Sets as special collectibles for sale to the public. With the introduction of the Eisenhower Dollar in 1971, the Mint offered 40% silver versions of the new Dollar in Uncirculated and Proof condition, but only from the San Francisco Mint. The Proof versions were sold in a hard plastic case inside of a brown slipcover box. The 40% alloy, the special case, and the opportunity to purchase s aingle Proof coin for the first time in more than a century proved a considerable draw, and collectors snapped up more than four million of these innovative coins.
The majority of the 1971-S Proof Silver "Ikes" remain in superb condition, however examples in the top grade of PR70DCAM are extremely rare relatiive to the total population.

Perhaps you still have some vacation time remaining this summer. Or you're already beginning to plan trips for the fall and winter. If that's the case, check out the new edition of one of the most valuable travel resources available: "The Yellow Book," from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Officially titled "CDC Health Information for International Travel," the book – with a distinctive bright yellow cover – is published biennially. The 2012 edition is now available. You can see the contents online or buy a copy for $45 from Oxford University Press (or from major booksellers).
At a hefty 640 pages, the Yellow Book is designed with physicians and medical staff in mind. The preface spells out the thinking: "As international travel continues to become more common in the lives of U.S. residents, having at least a basic understanding of the medical problems that travelers face has become a necessary aspect of practicing medicine. The goal of this book is to be a comprehensive resource for clinicians to find the answers to their travel health-related questions."
That said, travelers themselves can find a wealth of information here. Heading for the mountains? The entry on "Altitude Illness," reviews risk factors, specific types of illnesses, diagnosis and treatment, medications, and rules to "prevent death or serious consequences." Thinking about assembling your own travel health kit? Chapter Two (under "Counseling and Advice for Travelers") talks about traveling with medications, general health kit supplies, basic first aid, contact cards and where to find commercial medical kits. Need travel insurance or evacuation insurance? You can find discussions about how to evaluate policies, where to find insurance providers, and special considerations for Medicare beneficiaries.
Other chapters cover a host of topics: infectious diseases related to travel; select destinations (the Caribbean, Egypt, China, India and Nepal, among others); transportation issues (including taking your pet with you on your travels); traveling with infants and children; and travelers with specific needs (including individuals with chronic illnesses). In short, an invaluable guide.

Now in our second week of asking PS4 questions, we'll be moving away from the price and onto when we'll actually see the new console. With a big press event scheduled for February 20th, it seems like a 2013 release could be a major possibility, but all the same, we asked the PSLS staff: Do You Think the PS4 Will be Out in 2013?
Personally I dont want ps4 yet...im honestly very happy with my ps3, the thing has good games coming out and the do fimware and system updates regularly...
But will I buy ps4 if it does come out?? Hellzz yeaaa
It would be silly if the hashtag #playstation2013 was for a console that was coming out in 2014. So yes, it'll be out by the end of the year.

The tentative settlement of the NHL's labor dispute with the players' association in the early hours of Sunday morning had 42-year-old Ducks winger Teemu Selanne as excited as a kid who had just found a treasured but lost toy, while Kings enforcer Kevin Westgarth pondered how close the league and union came to not reaching the agreement that will put players back on the ice for training camps this week.
Selanne, a future Hall of Famer, said by phone Sunday that he was delighted to hear that the league-imposed lockout will soon end and that he can return to the ice.
"I think everybody is very excited and very happy it's over," he said. "It's something you don't want to go through again. Hopefully we can move on and be a hockey family again and play the greatest game on Earth."
Selanne said he had skated three or four times a week during the lockout, which began Sept. 15. He said the sessions, which united rival players from the Kings and Ducks, were good preparation for a start-up that will happen fairly quickly.

Steve Benen has a post up which is so excellent at exposing the game playing that the Republican Party has been playing on health care for 80 freaking years. Dana Perino, the oh so bright former press secretary for George W. Bush, was complaining on Fox News about how the Democrats didn't "reach out" to the Republicans during the health care debate, which of course is an alternate reality…..was she in a cave during that period? As a liberal, I was pissed at the constant reaching out to those assholes who had no intention of voting for or helping craft the law. Dana's people in the Republican party didn't really keep that a secret, in fact they were quite bold in saying how obstructionist they were going to be and were in the process. Republicans have a long history of playing games, from Steve Benen…
When Truman tried to pass what was, in effect, Medicare for all, Republicans balked and said they preferred a more market-based pay-or-play system. When Clinton endorsed the market-based pay-or-play system, Republicans balked again, saying that they preferred a mandate/subsidies kind of system. When Obama endorsed the mandate/subsidies system crafted by Republicans in the '90s and adopted by Mitt Romney in Massachusetts, Republicans balked again, this time saying they don't want to address the problem at all.
As Ezra concluded:
So over the last 80 years or so, Democrats have responded to Republican opposition by moving to the right, and Republicans have responded by moving even further to the right. In other words, Democrats have been willing to adopt Republican ideas if doing so meant covering everybody (or nearly everybody), while Republicans were willing to abandon Republican ideas if sticking by them meant compromising with the Democrats.
But because Democrats were insistent on getting something that would help the uninsured, they've ended up looking like the partisans, as they keep pushing bills Republicans refuse to sign onto.
Pretty slick little operation they have going and their mindless followers who are so principled, cough, spit….and continue to support these people because of their principles, which seem to blow in the wind. Steve Benen brings it home with this…
It's also, by the way, a model with broader applicability. As we've seen repeatedly with a wide variety of policy efforts, Democrats are interesting in solving a policy problem and are willing to negotiate to get something done. Republicans are interesting in preserving ideological purity and ignoring policy problems that can't be solved through tax cuts for millionaires.

There it is - my third Daring Bakers Challenge and my first attempt at the delicious French pastry - Chocolate eclairs (mine is a Chocolate - Glazed White - Chocolate Mousse Eclair). And to think that I almost didnt do it!! I know mine arent the best eclairs in town, but I am proud of my accomplishment with just a day to spare! The story goes like this...
Pierre Hermé's Chocolate Éclairs Recipe from Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Hermé (makes 20-24 Éclairs)
Chocolate Glaze Recipe from Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Hermé(makes 1 cup or 300g)
• 1/3 cup (80g) heavy cream
• 3½ oz (100g) bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 4 tsp (20 g) unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces, at room temperature
• 7 tbsp (110 g) Chocolate Sauce (recipe below), warm or at room temperature
1) In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a boil. Remove from the heat and slowly begin to add the chocolate, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula.
2) Stirring gently, stir in the butter, piece by piece followed by the chocolate sauce.
1) If the chocolate glaze is too cool (i.e. not liquid enough) you may heat it briefly in the microwave or over a double boiler. A double boiler is basically a bowl sitting over (not touching) simmering water.
2) It is best to glaze the eclairs after the glaze is made, but if you are pressed for time, you can make the glaze a couple days ahead of time, store it in the fridge and bring it up to the proper temperature (95 to 104 F) when ready to glaze.
Chocolate Sauce Recipe from Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Hermé (makes 1½ cups or 525 g)
• 4½ oz (130 g) bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 1 cup (250 g) water
• ½ cup (125 g) crème fraîche, or heavy cream
• 1/3 cup (70 g) sugar
1) Place all the ingredients into a heavy‐bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil, making sure to stir constantly. Then reduce the heat to low and continue stirring with a wooden spoon until the sauce thickens.
2) It may take 10‐15 minutes for the sauce to thicken, but you will know when it is done when it coats the back of your spoon.
2) This sauce is also great for cakes, ice-cream and tarts.
Chocolate Pastry Cream Recipe from Chocolate Desserts by Pierre Hermé
3) Pipe or spoon the pastry cream into the bottoms of the éclairs. Make sure you fill the bottomswith enough cream to mound above the pastry. Place the glazed tops onto the pastry creamand wriggle gently to settle them.

Ph.D. in Kinesiology
The Doctor of Philosophy in Kinesiology program currently focuses on four broad areas of kinesiology, namely motor control and learning, exercise physiology, sport and fitness administration and obesity studies.
It should be noted that the guiding philosophy of the program is that the student and advisor should work closely together to develop a course of study which appropriately meets the student's professional goals. Acceptance of a student into the Ph.D. (Kinesiology) program is determined by a number of factors, one of which is a clearly identified area of study and a Faculty advisor/mentor within the program who will support their admission. As part of the application process, prospective students will identify the potential professor/ professors with whom they share common scientific interests.
Emphasis Areas
Ph.D. in Kinesiology with an emphasis in motor behavior
Ph.D. in Kinesiology with an emphasis in exercise physiology
Ph.D. in Kinesiology with an emphasis in obesity studies
Ph.D. in Kinesiology with an emphasis in sport and fitness administration
Program Objectives
The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Kinesiology is designed to provide doctoral level training to prepare a professional with the cognitive and research skills needed to be a productive scholar.
The objectives of the Ph.D. in Kinesiology are:
- To train scholars with the capacity to understand and conduct research in kinesiology.
- To train scholars with the capacity to develop and evaluate programs consistent with national health promotion and disease prevention objectives.
- To train scholars with the capacity to prepare research funding proposals, and program development proposals.
- To train individuals with the capacity to be successful in higher education and kinesiological settings in the public and private domains.
The usual time for completion of the Ph.D. (Kinesiology) program is four to five years.

Anyways, *IF* anyone does have any issues with their kit they just need to come over to our forums and get taken care of:
Check it out. All support is handled over there quite easily. We are more than capable of troubleshooting and fixing our own issues. And since no one is complaining about timing issues there is no need for us to fix anything.
Clearly Razoola is trying to incite something as he knows how picky collectors are and putting even a small seed of doubt into someones mind could cause extra unnecessary work for us. It has become par for the course for Razoola and it isn't helping his increasingly tarnished reputation. Do you expect anyone to believe you just randomly decided to check for a potential issue "out of the kindness of his heart"? Really? You might have to adjust your voltage? HOLY S*HIT!!! The sky is falling!!!!!
So sad...... Really....

Too hopeless
Because unless you have groundbreaking technology, at least one or two step behind I.S., the final design would be a real robot, a master of none. This assuming I.S. allows robot construction to be practical and less maintenance-heavy, such as simplified frame or actuator.
So they might not bother about military robot, on the other hand, I could imagine about civilian mecha, complementing stuff such as forklift or dozer.
The only idiotic things about this is the lack of military power armor, since U.S. troops in Canon still use their peashooter against M(adoka) instead of heavier weapon with CHANCE to damage I.S. or at least slow it down.

I was thinking more for the civs yeah...
then there was the thought that a whole country's military resources are being funneled into choice machines. The idea bothers me that if they fund the IS so heavily, what would be left of the infantry and other facets of the military? Under budgeting?
If they are talking about military security, I don't think concentrating it on a handful of mecha is wise.
then again there was no canon statement that all resources of military are diverted to IS research and development

Will be shown in ST is two: working/civilian mecha and power armor. Those mecha are serving in the military, but in non-combat role most of the time (with some limited exception where they substitute IFV, NOT tanks)
No armed giant robots like Gundam or Armored Core, unless Tabane did it for the lulz.
Canon statement: I.S. development are expensive.
By this logic, less-wealthy country will have their military under-budgeted. This is why only major countries are mentioned most of the time, and USA, with the biggest ham and beef in their disposal, took a leading role in front of everyone else when it comes to I.S. development.
And yes, we already agree few hundred pages ago that if you put same resources and effort in I.S and conventional weapon, I.S.-oriented side WILL lose in battle of attrition, no excuse.

I rewatched the first episode of the anime and an idea struck me. What if a country actually stuck to the deal and decided to put IS research on priority two instead of one? I mean they still continue it but not in a way as frantic as other countries. Instead it decides to see if there is a way to legitimately increase the overall military power and the IS is designated as truly a sports machine. So that country's IS seriously has no lethal weaponry... as unlethal as possible anyway

Waste of resource.
It was crystal clear that I.S.-verse situation is similar to cold war, with I.S. = nukes + advanced military gadgets.
In this verse, the performance of their I.S. and quality of the Representatives is a portrayal of their military power. If a country is crazy enough to do that, well, tough luck with the national pride

Pretty much boils down to that.
It's even worse in TLR Stratos (mostly due to rule of funny), which boils down to "Which country's models is used by UN Space Force against alien invader?"
Yes, as said before United Nations has their own I.S. batch, since the total number of cores is 150% more than canon number, meaning that there's about 1300-1400 cores in existence instead of 460+.

I imagine the sports model IS would have equipment more fit for events than firepower but it's interesting because the performance with each equipment would be as is.
sword/axe/or similar bladed weaponry - toughness and handling over sharpness; still undergoes sharpening.
shield - minimalizing damage
gun - accuracy, precision and ease of handling over muzzle velocity.
so basically the rafael but much more specialized...

Though in this case, MORE muzzle velocities is desired, but LESS wide projectile is used instead. Similar to concept of most hypervelocity projectile weapon IRL be it superdense darts or ferromagnetic bullets. More velocity means less air interference and bullet drop as well as tighter MoA = better accuracy overall & further effective range.

Military Industries works just like that.
Most of the money came from your own government (Military R&D Budget yo!), but if you're lucky, you can export the result of your research and get extra payment as result.
This is where 50-100 figure came from, most unit probably only have 1-10 copies of itself.
And I.S. undergo generation shift 3-4 years once, plus add-on packets and upgrades in-between, that's a lot of money circulating around your corporation.
And now you know why Dunois is throwing temper tantrum. A lot of resource simply stopped flowing in the moment they failed to do shit with G3 development.

I know the military makes boatloads of weapons, but that's like making dozens assault rifles when you only have 4 clips of ammo. What about the money that went into making the other assault rifles? They just going to get scrapped?

Deadline July 30: Images of the Year Slide Slam at Milwaukee Art Museum Photography Council
Deadline August 31st: Photo Coleslaw Infinite Summer Invitational
This on-line discussion has no submission fee and is judged by photographers, for photographers:
From the Photo Coleslaw blog:
Somewhere within the long, hot days and the dripping popsicles lays a sense of unencumbered freedom. A justification to go barefoot and to lay on your back…. In conjunction with this carefree mood, Photo Coleslaw is presenting it's First Photo Invitational. During the month of August Photographer, Jennifer Spelman is inviting you to submit 3 photos that key in on the feeling of summer. Jennifer Spelman is looking for photos that go beyond the cliches and really examine what summer is. Dig deep, take the theme and make it personal.
Three panelists will discuss why they each chose a photo. Jennifer Spelman will chime in as well. A discussion on why these photo rose to the top will ensue. In reward of the efforts of the three chosen photographers, Spelman will send them each a matted 8 x 10 print of their choosing from her website.
So you have the entire month of August to shoot. Put down your slurpee and pick up your camera. Spelman would love to see what you create. Send all submissions to email@example.com. Title the subject line in the email: Infinite Summer Submission and include up to three jpgs (72 dpi). All submissions are due by midnight on August 31, 2010. All submissions must be sent with the inherent permission that they may be posted (and will be credited) on www.photocoleslaw.com. All decisions by the panelists are final.
The three panelists you need to impress were all chosen for the various perspectives they will bring to their decisions:
DAN MILNOR – Photographer Daniel Milnor splits his time between the smog-choked chaos of Southern California and the spiritual landscape of New Mexico. He is happiest with his notebook, Leica and trusty leather boots, sizing up whatever situation is happening in front of him. Milnor is former newspaper, magazine and commercial photographer who now tries to work solely on his own projects, projects that allow him to work in the fashion he feels most likely to produce images that go beyond the temporary. He has taught at several prestigious learning centers such as Art Center College of Design, The Santa Fe Photographic Workshops and The Julia Dean Workshops but feels his most important educational opportunity comes when he is able to spend time with his young nephews, teaching them a range of things that have all, at one time or another, gotten them in trouble at school. His judging experience is diverse, covering such things as his wife's cooking, his fathers fashion disasters and all the random people he sees in airports around world, whom he never gives the benefit of the doubt. But most importantly, Milnor is the author of the blog Smogranch, which allows him to speak his mind, post his mother's poetry and bring together like-minded people around the globe.
JENNIFER DAVIDSON – As a marine biologist-turned-photographer from a ranching family in rural west Texas, Jennifer's views of photography are as varied as her personal history. Much of her time these days is spent on the road teaching photography workshops for Santa Fe Photo Workshops, National Geographic Expeditions and Linblad Expeditions. She has critiqued over 10,000 photos in her time as an instructor. When not photographing or encouraging others in their visual journey, Davidson spends her time hiking in the mountains, on the yoga mat or in the kitchen concocting new and unique ice cream flavors to feed her summer addiction.
VICKY SPELMAN – LANG – Yep, Spelman's mama. Her mom has recently retired from almost 20 years in law enforcement. She also makes a mean lemon-meringue pie. She's tough to impress and has a good handle on what summer means. When not helping her son or daughter out in their endeavors, Spelman-Lang is most often found with an imposing pickax in hand, waging war on weeds silly enough to attempt residency within her pristine yard."

Ponder these..
American writer H. L. Mencken (1880-1956): "When a new source of taxation is found it never means, in practice, that an old source is abandoned. It merely means that the politicians have two ways of milking the taxpayer where they had only one before."
Economist Thomas Sowell: "While there have been all too many lies told in politics, most have some little tiny fraction of truth in them, to make them seem plausible. But the 'trickle-down [economics]' lie is 100 percent lie. It should win the contest both because of its purity — no contaminating speck of truth — and because of how many people have repeated it over the years, without any evidence being asked for or given."
Fred Thompson: "NBC's chief medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman, proudly declared that she had forced her own kids to sign up for Obamacare as their 'patriotic duty.' Remember back when patriotism meant protecting people's right not to be forced?"
Comedian Jay Leno: "MSNBC anchor Melissa Harris-Perry has apologized for making fun of one of Mitt Romney's grandchildren. She said that from now on before she goes on the air she'll remind herself that some people may actually be watching MSNBC."
You want me to…
Swallow what?
Oh hell no!!
Obama will what?
Stay in Washington?
And remain 'pResident'?
Well he will need a place to stay..
According to 'rumors' Mooch is..
Booting his lame ass..
How can a federal 'agency' that really has no reason to exist..
Over ride congress?
'splain that one!!!
We call her Mooch..
And there is a reason..
Apparently the jackbooted thugs of the Federal Government..
Are meeting some resistance and outright hostility..
Don't want us 'exercising' our rights do they?
That is why we have 'concealed' carry.
Whom would be dumb enough to walk into the cesspools that are City Halls and such, unarmed with all the crooks and whatnot you find there?

Let $V$ be an affine complex variety. Let $x \in V$ be a closed point. Then a tangential base-point at $x$ is $x$ together with a regular function $t$ on $V$ that is zero exactly on $x$ (to degree $1$).
My familiarity with this notion is very meek, and I know that there are generalizations for other fields, and for normal crossing divisors (instead of one closed point; in this case they are called tangential morphisms), but I'm not sure I can recite a definition for these. In texts where I've seen this notion introduced, it said that the intuition should be that $t$ gives a direction: look at $t=\epsilon$ for $\epsilon$ going from $0$ to a small real positive number.
This hardly seems like motivation! Why would one want a base-point with a direction? What utility does it have? What problem does it solve? I've seen this in several papers, and I do wish to get over the hump and actually start understanding this.

Panaji: A fascination for India and a cultural attraction towards the country made Academy Award-winning Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier to set a part of her new film in India.
Interacting with media persons at the 43rd International Film Festival of India here Sunday, Susanne said her 2006 film "After The Wedding" had a part of the plot set in India, where the protagonist lived and managed an orphanage.
"I`ve always had a fascination with India. I`ve been reading a lot of Indian literature. India is culturally influential in ways you may not realise. Besides history, there is a much more substantial influence.
"So having to make my character live outside of Denmark, India became the place naturally," said the 52-year-old, adding that it was "important to somehow educate, tell the audience to embrace the multicultural world".
"After The Wedding", being screened at the film festival, stars Mads Mikkelsen, a Danish actor known for his role as a poker-playing villain in the James Bond film "Casino Royale".
Bier`s film "In a Better World" won an Oscar for the Best Foreign Film last year.
She said her interest was not about movies per say but about storytelling. "For me, movies are the best tool for doing that."
Bier said several producers had approached her to make a movie based in India, but she was cautious because she was not fully aware of the land and not confident to tell a story about a country and its people.
But she said she was working on a film that might open in India.
"It is a romantic comedy which has a serious element. It deals with the theme of cancer," she said, adding that to familiarise herself with Indian cinema, she would buy a bagful of DVDs.
Bier also drew an unlikely parallel between filmmaking and architecture, adding that her interest in architecture was the reason why she became a filmmaker.
"While doing architecture you deal with houses and I became increasingly interested in the people who inhabit these houses. Training in architecture has been a great help with being a film director, because the blueprint of a building is really like a script and it does teach you a certain discipline while shooting a movie," she said.

Red Cross Blood Services holds annual recognition
Thursday, December 20, 2012 7:19 AM
The Indiana-Ohio Region of American Red Cross Blood Services hosted its annual recognition dinner at the Fort Wayne Marriott.
Awards were presented to recognize the outstanding achievements and volunteer service of individuals and businesses in the region. Among them were several from Huntington County.
• The Faithful Friends Award recognizes those sponsors who are always willing to open their doors for use of their facilities, even on short notice. Huntington County recepients were Evangelical United Methodist Church, SS Peter and Paul Catholic Church and St. Joseph Catholic Church.
• Our Sunday Visitor was recognized with the Growing by Leaps and Bounds Award. The award recognizes those blood drive sponsors who have either increased the pints of blood donated at their blood drives by 25 percent or more, or they have increased their drive frequency in the last year.
• Parkview Huntington Hospital was nominated for the Hospital Partnership Award, which signifies that they helped ensure a safe and continuous blood supply by supporting blood collections, forming special partnerships with the Red Cross Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region and participating in professional development opportunities.
Parkview Huntington Hospital hosts at least two blood drives each year. Hospital staff also attend educational events sponsored by the Red Cross. Laboratory staff often request additional sessions to help increase understanding of blood banking among physicians and nurses.
Parkview Huntington Hospital was nominated for exhibiting excellent stewardship of blood products and a willingness to share within the Parkview system to prevent outdating or wastage of blood products. The hospital was a recipient of the "K.I.S.S." award in recognition of maintaining Type O Negative inventory use at less than 11 percent and total Type O usage below 50 percent.
• Also receiving a Partnership Award was Huntington North High School. Rhonda Adams at Huntington North High School sponsors two of the biggest blood drives in the entire region. Last year, the Red Cross collected more than 400 units of blood at the two Huntington North drives.
