My 13mo old son has not nursed during the daytime for a month and a half. He arches, cries, screams, and rolls away when I attempt to nurse him in any position, even in a dim room without distractions, etc. He will not nurse to sleep at all (never really has...) Unfortunately I gave him a pacifier around 4 weeks old and he's become addicted. He will nurse at night a few times and occasionally a rare time when I catch his waking up from a nap.
Is this a "strike"? Or is this normal? It feels awful and I'm so sad. Would taking away the pacifier DURING a nursing strike be a bad idea? I'm afraid it will be too traumatic to take away a much-loved comfort item. But I wonder if overuse of the pacifier is CAUSING this strike to begin with. He wakes a lot at night, crying for me to reinsert his paci (and I try to nurse him as much as I can at these wakeups.)
So...ditch the paci or keep it? What else can I do to end this strike? I've tried skin to skin play time, bath time, dim lights...he's not interested.
I am pumping once or twice during the day, and he drinks that milk from a sippy cup. I think my supply has taken a dive, so I started taking fenugreek and blessed thistle.
He's recently gotten his first four teeth and has a few more coming. I've given Hyland's, motrin, and tylenol (not all at once ) at various times and he still won't nurse when he's awake/alert.
As for other food, he loves food and can eat a good amount of solids. (Sometimes more than my 3yo) I'll give him a little water or almond milk in a sippy, if he's outof breast milk. I've tried to decrease his solids.
I'm terrified he'll never happily nurse again during the daytime, because my DD "weaned" early at ~19-20 months old due to my pregnancy with my son and nursing was unbearable for me. I still feel awful about that, so if this is how it ends with my son I will be crushed beyond belief.
I keep thinking if the pacifier was gone he'd learn to nurse more often for comfort...right? Or would the trauma of taking away the paci NOW be too much? I'm stuck on this part. The rest is "easier", because all I can do is keep pumping, keep offering, keep taking the fenugreek....but the pacifier is a CHOICE I made, and regret....but I wonder if I'm stuck with it now...?
Any help to get my little boy nursing again during the day would be much appreciated.

Story highlights
- On Thursday, Ohio will execute a man by using drugs never before used in lethal injection
- Elisabeth Semel: Lethal injection is bad enough, why shroud the process in secrecy?
- She says we need more public input or oversight on states' execution practices
- Semel: Condemned prisoners may suffer agonizing pain before death
On Thursday, Ohio executed Dennis McGuire by injecting him with midazolam and hydromorphone, a combination of drugs that has never before been used in an execution.
Lawyers for McGuire contend that he will suffocate to death in agony and terror. The state disagrees. But the truth is that no one knows exactly how McGuire will die, how long it will take or what he will experience in the process.
At a hearing on January 12 about the new execution procedure, the state's expert, Dr. Mark Dershwitz, said, "I truly don't know how many minutes it will take the inmate to stop breathing," and later, "There is no science to guide me on exactly how long this is going to take."
This type of uncertainty is commonplace in executions today, as departments of correction scramble to find new drugs and new procedures to carry out executions in response to pharmaceutical companies taking steps to prevent the use of their products in executions.
Legal expert Deborah Denno compared the states' process of selecting an execution method to trying to figure out what to make for dinner. "It's like going to your kitchen cupboard trying to look for something to prepare for your next meal and just looking for anything," she said.
Many states have grappled with sourcing execution drugs, particularly pentobarbital. Increasingly, the states are turning to compounding pharmacies, which traditionally mix small batches of drugs to meet the specific needs of patients who require special formulations of their medicines. (Think of a child's antibiotic that tastes like a bubblegum drink, or a pet's medication formulated to taste like a meaty treat.)
When executions are carried out using compounded drugs transparency is lost, and even the most basic questions about the drugs to be used -- including where they come from, what they are made of and whether they will work as intended -- are shrouded in secrecy.
Oklahoma's Department of Corrections buys pentobarbital for executions from an unnamed compounding pharmacy. Missouri's Department of Corrections also buys its pentobarbital from an unnamed compounding pharmacy in Oklahoma, and lawyers in Louisiana believe the state's Department of Corrections intends to buy pentobarbital from an unnamed pharmacy in Oklahoma.
Lawyers for Herbert Smulls, who is scheduled for execution on January 29 in Missouri, know that the pharmacy is not licensed to sell drugs in their state, but the lawyers and the courts are prevented from knowing any details about the product the pharmacy produces, including whether the raw ingredients come from a reputable producer or whether the finished product is pure, potent and sterile.
Last week Michael Lee Wilson was executed in Oklahoma. Just after the compounded pentobarbital was administered to him, Wilson said, "I feel my whole body burning." Those were his last words.
Is one pharmacy in Oklahoma supplying all three states without regard for state and federal laws that prohibit several of the actions it is taking? Only the states can answer this question, and they aren't talking.
This level of secrecy is unfortunately nothing new when it comes to lethal injection practices. In the past year, several states have passed new laws making information about execution drugs and their suppliers confidential. Meanwhile, states are changing their execution practices to include never-before-used drugs and compounded drugs with no public input or oversight. In other words, states are simultaneously turning to less reliable, more questionable drugs and taking steps to more stringently hide what they are doing.
When corrections departments obtain execution drugs from compounding pharmacies, they are likely to violate state and federal laws - by asking the compounder to make "copycat" versions of an FDA-approved drug, by obtaining the drugs without a prescription, or, conversely, by using a fraudulent prescription written by a doctor who is paid for the service but who has never met the prisoner.
It's not surprising, then, that the departments don't want anyone to know what they are doing and refuse to reveal information about the drugs or the pharmacies where they get them, effectively preventing condemned prisoners from determining if the compounded pentobarbital is likely to cause unnecessary pain and suffering prior to causing death.
There are too many unknowns in states' current lethal injection practices. Novel drug combinations and compounded drugs present untoward risks of an unconstitutional execution and shield the general public from the truth of how the ultimate punishment is carried out in its name.
This destructive cycle of secrecy around lethal injection practices must end.

Get $10 (U.S.) and run to the next bookstore, Kiosk or Koenig to get Artforum's March 2012 issue. Open it to page 226, and read Bruce Hainley on Sturtevant. Since being exposed to Seth Price's texts on production technologies (in my opinion, the objects he produces are "just" (great and disturbing) footnotes to these texts), I haven't had such an addicting, inspiring, and disturbing reading experience. Following Hainley's words, you are able to experience what this means: "The dynamics of the work is that it throws out representation" (Sturtevant, 2004). It becomes almost tangible that her practice of "mise en abyme" indeed makes thought visible.
And then you stumble into paragraphs like this: "Even without knowing, definitively, what Sturtevant danced, consider why she might have rendez-voused with Rainer at all, since Sturtevant was always already dancing, as Nietzsche said everyone must—always already thinking not across the art of the 1960s but into the structures that make such art, such thinking possible. She was manifesting instead of writing manifestos."
Oh yes, and where else, in what kind of other text on art you can read something like this:
"And then there was Jill Johnston.
Jill fucking Johnston.
On the beat, doing her job, brilliantly, tweakily."
To which I can only add: "And then there was Bruce Hainley. Bruce fucking Hainley. On the beat, doing his job, brilliantly, tweakily."

Women's Recap
Lady Pirates Hold Off Georgia Southwestern, 78-60
Junior Lauren Hall's 18 first-half points sparked the Armstrong Atlantic State women's basketball squad to a 78-60 Peach Belt Conference victory over visiting Georgia Southwestern State on Wednesday evening at Alumni Arena.
Hall's first-half performance helped the Lady Pirates (9-2, 4-0 PBC) shrug off a subpar effort on the boards, as Georgia Southwestern (5-6, 0-4 PBC) outrebounded AASU, 54-31, including a stout 36-9 edge in offensive rebounds.
AASU held a 45-26 halftime lead. A 10-0 run by Georgia Southwestern brought the Lady Hurricanes to within eight early in the second half, but Ashley Duhart and Lacey Willis sparked a 12-4 run that put the Lady Pirates back out in front by 16, 64-48, with 8:14 left. AASU would hit 8-of-9 free throws in the final minute and a half to seal the victory.
Southwestern was led by Nadirah Gardner's 16 points and Brittany Reynolds' nine points and game-high 12 rebounds.
Willis finished the night with 18 points for AASU. Duhart also finished with 18 points, her career high, on 5-of-8 shooting from the floor and 7-of-13 from the free throw line.
The Lady Hurricanes return home on Saturday, January 10, for a 2:00 p.m. Peach Belt Conference contest with No. 20-ranked USC Aiken.
Men's Recap
Pirates Power Past Georgia Southwestern, 85-68
Senior guard T.T. Hall broke out of a scoring slump with a game-high 24 points, leading Armstrong Atlantic State to its sixth straight victory in an 85-68 Peach Belt Conference men's basketball win over visiting Georgia Southwestern State on Wednesday evening at Alumni Arena.
Hall led a quartet of Armstrong Atlantic (10-1, 3-1 PBC) players in double figures, while also handing GSW (5-6, 1-3 PBC) its second straight loss.
Southwestern was led by Chris Rawls' 21 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the floor and 7-of-9 from the free throw line. Freshman Savannah native Evan Mobley, a product of Windsor Forest HS, just a mile away from the AASU campus, recorded 13 points off the bench in his first collegiate game in his hometown.
Reigning PBC Player of the Week Brian Moultrie added a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds for AASU, while Calvin Wilson added 14 points and Dwight Tolbert chipped in 12.
The Pirates forced 19 turnovers from Georgia Southwestern and owned a 42-36 advantage on the boards.
The Hurricanes return home on Saturday, January 10, for a 4:00 p.m. Peach Belt Conference contest with No. 11-ranked USC Aiken.

PCI slots cap at 533 MB/s (and a lot are 133 or 266), which is less than a tenth of most PCIe x16 slots, so I can't imagine that you're going to be making the most of the hardware somehow.
I'd be more interested in seeing it in AGP myself.
What about those of us with poor neglected VLB slots? Huh? Who's going to give us an upgrade?
I want a recent-generation video card which works well with classic 8-bit ISA bus. I have at least one IBM XT-class machine I want to run Starcraft II on.
Have we created a new metric here of FPD (Frames Per Day)?

Not if you set up page swapping to the virtual memory you set up on you 5.25" floppy drive (DSDD, of course.)
I want a recent-generation video card which works well with classic 8-bit ISA bus. I have at least one IBM XT-class machine I want to run Starcraft II on.
Bah... you kids with your newfangled PCs and all that nonsense! I want a card that fits in my Altair's S100 bus [wikipedia.org], you insensitive clods!
I too would like to give Starcraft II a go once I get that card working, but I understand the game has high-end requirements that may require other upgrades to my Altair, such as a keyboard, a mouse and some form of display more sophisticated than the LEDs on the front panel.
PCI was 133 MB/s, half duplex, while PCIe 1.0 1x would be 250MB/s full duplex. Any modern computer will have a few spare PCIe slots that you could use for that.
If it's an older machine, PCI will let you connect the monitors, but you can't even blit 1024x768 at 60hz over a PCI bus.
The 520 is one of the lowest-end within its generation.
Also, cards like these often have a lot of media playback capabilities that aren't bandwidth-hungry. This could likely, for example, allow an old clunker system to be upgraded to Blu-Ray capabilities fairly cheaply.
Due to the nature of PCI Express, it's actually easier for manufacturers to make PCI cards than AGP cards nowadays.
Also, cards like these often have a lot of media playback capabilities that aren't bandwidth-hungry. This could likely, for example, allow an old clunker system to be upgraded to Blu-Ray capabilities fairly cheaply.
GT520 should run VDPAU acceleration pretty well... It takes practically zero CPU power to shovel bits at the video card. This means practically any old box out there is an instant HDMI output mythtv frontend. Obviously I haven't tried it, but it should work fantastic.

Yep, this is exactly what my MythTV HTPC does, only using an older PCI card.
It takes practically zero CPU power to shovel bits
Case in point, my aforementioned HTPC is a Celeron (yes, a humble Celery) and plays all ATSC content (720p, 1080i) just fine.
VDPAU rocks. PCI does the job.

VDPAU rocks. PCI does the job.
PCI is 133 MB/s. Shoveling 1080i60 to the GPU requires ~178 MB/s. Shoveling 720p30 to the GPU might work, as that only requires 79MB/s, but unless VDPAU does the entire process on the hardware (that is, you send nothing but the encoded stream to the videocard, and it handles the entire decode process end-to-end, including the scaling and overlay output), you're going to need at least two copies, so 720p is out too; PCI was half-duplex. I believe subtitles would require this sort of double-copy, even if VDPA
That's exactly what VDPAU is and does: send the raw encoded 20mbps (that's bits/s) MPEG stream to the card and let the card display it. The entire process is done in the GPU hardware.
This does mean that the VDPAU hardware (or at least firmware) must support your codec, so only a handful of standard formats is supported.
And subtitles? I understand there's a different surface used for that for VDPAU, though. DXVA, you'd be out of luck.
I can turn on ATSC closed captioning without trouble, yes. Just another surface (OpenGL I believe) for the card to render, as you said.
Incidentally, VDPAU also does some very nice deinterlacing.
It's nice to see an option anyways. Without cards like these, you'd be stuck with:
1. Integrated graphics (... shudder)
2. ATI Rage or other exhibits of ancient history
Some times you just have to use old hardware. It's nice to not have -all- of it stoneage.
Linux should work happily though.
LOL, when I read the headline I thought they had put a PCI slot on the card itself. Which would be bitchin' for games that require a Voodoo card to run right.
But, I do see that you're interpretation is the correct one.
I have an old ISA 10BaseT card if you are serious...
If you are doing bitcoin mining a better use of the card would be sharpening it and driving it into your skull.
Right now, it's far cheaper to buy bitcoins with cash than to pay the power cost to mine them.
I have done my math. Electricity is fairly cheap in Finland, and currently I'm barely making a profit. There is also this idea of long-term investment/involvement, and not everything needs be profitable right now.
If you think bitcoins will be the currency of the future, go spend a few hundred dollars on them.
I already have plenty of BTC saved, after selling some of them to recover my costs (including hardware).
The point of mining is not to make money, but to verify transactions. People who believe in the system should participate in maintaining it. No point in saving some BTC if nobody is running
I can't imagine that you're going to be making the most of the hardware somehow.
Depends on what you do with it. Consider this article [techpowerup.com] about PCI-Express scaling on a 5780... A lot of games get 75% FPS or above using only a 1x PCIe port compared to a 16x. Keep in mind that the 5870 is a high-end card, and the 520 is a low end, so I don't think the performance hit will be that bad.
I just ditched a pretty good laptop (Thinkpad T60p) because ATI doesn't support the video card any more, and the generic drivers don't support the features that make it useful to me (DVI output through a docking station in this case).
this is why RMS started GNU in the first place...
I got new life out of an old PC with a 430 which is also very good for HTPC use.
The PC was big and ugly and a bit old but it performs quite well. Where it sits, it doesn't matter so much that it is a full size PC. The noise it generates isn't even a show stopper.
Beats the h*ll out of spending $800 just to get something smaller and a GPU that's less useful for HTPC purposes.
There are a TON of older computers that people still run with PCI slots. They would work just fine repurposed as a HTPC but until now there was no hardware acceleration available. The XBMC Forums will have someone come along that is looking for the "Best" PCI option and usually that involves either an SVIDEO or VGA connector. Some new TVs will have a VGA but not all of them.
Might as well just get a $50 sandy bridge pentium g620 and a $50 h61 motherboard with HDMI out and be done with it rather then try to keep an obsolete machine running with a silly PCI graphics card that is probably slower than the graphics core built into intel's new cpu's.
As "pathetic" as a "slow nvidia card" may be. It will probably still run circles around an Intel part, especially for the given use case.
"Good Intel GPU" is along the same lines as "Year of the Linux Desktop".
For HTPC purposes, Intel GPU's are good enough.
Actually, no. The third party chipsets include hardware for better up-scaling and decoding of h.264. Removes a lot of noise and produces a better result, particulartly if you are outputting to something like a TV.
PCI exists on more than just PCs as well.
And what are you going to put this in, a PII? That won't help, the bottleneck is the processor (~400 MHz) or some other part of the ancient hardware.
Running VDPAU video card acceleration on a zbox my CPU varies a lot depending on content but it would seem a pentium 75 Might be able to act as a mythtv frontend with this card. I think something in your specified PII era would be far more than enough. Especially since in ye olden days when mythtv was new, a PII was a kinda decent frontend, and its not like TV has changed much since then.
Of course tv has changed since the PII came out, there was no HD back then.
First commercial ATSC broadcast = July 1996. Mid summer anyway, as I recall. I'm in the telecom biz, trust me on this.
First retail sale of a PII = 1997ish, certainly not before 1996
Its quite the horse race there.
And what are you going to put this in, a PII?
I have PCI slots in my Core2 system. It only has 3 PCIe slots. If I wanted 8 monitors (and let's face it, who the hell doesn't???), this card would allow me to get there.
Well, perhaps not a pentium II, but this will help immensely on both AGP era boards (this is much more powerful), and later boards that were too cheap to even include more than a few PCI slots- in fact, I have such a 775 board like that. With vdpau, though, I think this brings HD video into the realm of the Pentium III or even, possibly, the Pentium II. I'll probably buy a few for older machines I work on, hell, this may even allow for compiz.
Ha, I have a very nice P4 server board that has *ISA* slots. Mine has an AGP slot, but the standard version only has ISA and PCI.
http://www.ibase.com.tw/mb800.htm [ibase.com.tw]
Neither fish nor foul nor good red herring!
I'm hoping it's got a bog-standard PCI interface specification, so that the old PWS console firmware works with it. The PWS 600au works great with an ATI Radeon 9000, NetBSD + X11. Not so sure about the xorg support for the GT520 though. We'll see.
Been there, tried that --- this was on an old CATS ARM box. Turns out that there's a lot of ia32 code in ROM on the graphics card which, of course, ARMs and Alphas are totally unable to run.
The CATS box managed to at least initialise the card into text mode by running the graphics card ROM via the world's slowest ia32 emulator; the keyboard lights would flash for ten seconds on bootup and then you'd get the graphics card's POST message. I don't know what Alpha boxes do.
I have tried to make PCI graphics
Can it be flashed with Mac-compatible firmware?
As yet there are but one or two video cards compatible with a Mac Pro1,1 capable of playing Portal, and they are still quite expensive ($400+), no longer manufactured, and vendors are unreliable for (1) shipping the correct card for the model of Mac and (2) don't seem to last very long once they do ship a "working" one (apparently a reflashed PC card). The last one I got eventually decided that it had to drive the display connected to it at exactly the same res
A lot of people don't seem to understand that you don't need a 16x PCI-E slot for graphics cards, or even half that. The cards will rarely ever require that much bandwidth and certainly not under normal gaming conditions.
This card seems to be designed for situations where you want to do things with your PC that isn't bleeding edge gaming. That particular card isn't really that great anyhow. This would be perfect for a multimedia PC, or for casual games.
Would a card like this be helpful in any way for adding a 3rd or 4th display to your computer? Possibly still with some 3d accelleration, even if it's relatively slow?
Yes. The PCIe 1x variant should be particularly useful for up to 8 monitor systems, as systems with 4 PCIe slots are very easy to find. Beyond that you may find getting enough power to them problematic, but it is theoretically achievable.
If you are going to saddle it with a PCI or a single lane PCIe, why do you need a modern GPU? Older technology cards are still available and still supported.
For FOLDING / Coin Mining on the side?
If you are going to saddle it with a PCI or a single lane PCIe, why do you need a modern GPU? Older technology cards are still available and still supported.
Because the GPU manufacturers actually charge nearly as much for older designs as they do for low-end modern ones. Because the memory for older GPUs is becoming hard to acquire. Because if you're investing large sums of money to design a board for a specialised application that isn't going to sell spectacular numbers, the difference between a $10 GPU and a $15 GPU isn't really going to make a proportionally huge difference to the retail cost of the board, and it might make a difference to whether it's use
Wouldn't it make more sense to sell one with AGP too?
Before my X2 died, It was upgraded with a HD3850 and could run pretty much anything, albeit not at highest settings. I'm trying to see what good a PCI card could do besides
A) adding a third monitor
B) adding hdmi on the cheap on an HTPC
Systems with PCI slots will either have PCI-E or AGP slots. Those that only have PCI will be in P2 class, and it makes no sense to upgrade that kind of machine with a fast video card, even for folding or mining.
I've got two Mini-ATX boards lying around with a fully functional PCI slot. The PCI board is fanless as well, so that might make an interesting media playback device for sure. And it has HDMI. I'm already sold, this baby could hook up my VIA Mini-ITX to my full HD TV (that, unfortunately, does not do VGA in). Happy thoughts. Shame it is not half height, I'll have to saw my wine-box in two
For the cost of the card, i reckon you could almost build a cheap atom/similar based system with onboard graphics that will kill the machine as a whole in performance.
If you're stuck with PCI, you're also probably stuck with some tiny amount of slow RAM, parallel ATA, a BIOS that can't read hard drives bigger than 500 meg, etc.
Not exactly a gaming/video machine there...
If its just to play HD content on TV, then an appleTV or boxee box will probably be cheaper and perform better, also.
Marvelous! The super-user's going to boot me! What a finely tuned response to the situation!

Experiment Suggests Monkeys Can Do Basic Math 87
sciencehabit (1205606) writes "It looks like a standardized test question: Is the sum of two numbers on the left or the single number on the right larger? Rhesus macaques that have been trained to associate numerical values with symbols can get the answer right, even if they haven't passed a math class. The finding doesn't just reveal a hidden talent of the animals—it also helps show how the mammalian brain encodes the values of numbers. Previous research has shown that chimpanzees can add single-digit numbers. But scientists haven't explained exactly how, in the human or the monkey brain, numbers are being represented or this addition is being carried out. Now, a new study (abstract) helps begin to answer those questions."

Beef producers struggle to pay transport billsMarty McCarthy, Wednesday May 8, 2013 - 00:43 EST
The operator of a livestock transport service says drought-stricken graziers in north and north-west Queensland will soon be unable to pay for the cost of carting cattle to sales.
Graziers affected by the dry weather are rushing to de-stock their properties of hungry cattle, but in the process are flooding the market with worthless stock that has nowhere to go.
Liz Schmidt, the director at Schmidt's Livestock Transport, says graziers are feeling the pinch and will soon have to prioritise which bills they pay first.
"These people who are not getting what they need to for their product will have a problem because some of these bills won't be due for 30 days," she said.
"After those 30 days, there's got to be a decision made as to who gets paid.
"Do you pay your wages, your fuel bill, do you pay the transporter, who gets paid first?
"I think it's something we have to look at very soon."
Ms Schmidt says there has been one incident where a grazier had to truck cattle home after failing to get a good price in the saleyards.
"I'm assuring you that will happen more and more while the cattle aren't worth anything or are worth a lot, but are not being paid what they're worth," she said.
There are already concerns that some farmers who can't sell their cattle and don't have the money to buy grain are having to shoot stock or else watch it starve.
"I hate to think that's the case but that's certainly a scenario that is possible," Ms Schmidt said.
"Even though that cattle isn't worth anything there are young cattle coming up and room has to be made for them."
However, it's is not only drought concerns troubling Queensland farmers.
The crippling effect of the live export ban to Indonesia two years ago is now being felt.
North Queensland beef producers once relied heavily on the live export market, but now only have the option of selling their cattle to an oversupplied domestic market.
To make selling harder, disease restrictions have limited the amount of places beef producers can sell their cattle.
Graziers quarantined due to the cattle wasting disease, Bovine Johne's, are only permitted to send cattle to meatworks for processing and cannot trade with other producers.
However, despite concerns drought and BJD concerns, graziers say the Federal Government's decision to ban live export two years ago has had the biggest impact on their industry.
Ms Schmidt says unlike drought and disease, the live export impact was "man-made".

Two for the price of one.
Remember that?
That was the phrase Bill & Hill used when Bill Clinton, then the governor of Arkansas, with Hillary at his side, ran for president in 1992.
Some people laughed, some people scoffed. Some people thought the idea of a co-presidency was a joke.
But the vast majority of people who voted in 1992 bought into it, and Bill Clinton was elected president over incumbent George H.W. Bush, and then he was re-elected in 1996.
As first lady (and co-president), Hillary carved out an unprecedented role for herself as a national policy maker. Al Gore, Clinton's vice president, seemed almost like an afterthought, and perhaps he was.
The co-presidency had its rough moments, however. Bill Clinton, in an unprecedented White House move, named his spouse chairwoman of his Task Force on Health Care, which came up with a universal health-care plan to cover all Americans. The plan bombed in Congress, although it did become the basis for the troubled Affordable Health Care Act, known as Obamacare.
Then there were the ongoing investigations that trailed the Clintons, ranging from the billing practices of her Little Rock law firm, Whitewater, the various "bimbo eruptions," as they were called, the mysterious suicide of her friend Vince Foster (who was the assistant White House counsel), the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and so on. But nothing stopped the Clintons.
The Clintons survived all the scandals, while many who worked for them, or were around them, did not. Not only that, after years of the inept and incoherent presidency of Barack Obama, people longingly look back on the Clinton administration with such fondness that one might think Bill Clinton was Ronald Reagan and Jack Kennedy rolled into one.
The Clintons are a unique couple in American life, politics and government, so unique that it is a sure thing they would have survived the sinking of the Titanic.
Now, for the second time, Hillary Clinton is running for president. And to the millions of Clinton worshipers, it makes little difference that she is coming off both a mediocre stint as a U.S. senator as well as an undistinguished four-year term as Obama's secretary of state.
The Clintons are a tag team. While Hillary can pick her spots where she agrees with Barack Obama, like keeping the lid on what really happened at Benghazi, or supporting Obama on the Iranian weapons negotiations, Bill Clinton can remain on the outside and criticize the president for misleading Americans over keeping their health-care plans and their doctors.
And, speaking of Benghazi, where four Americans were killed on her watch, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, Hillary has shrewdly tried to put the issue of lax security and a cover-up to rest, calling the terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi her "biggest regret."
"You know, you make these choices based on imperfect information," she said following a speech a week ago. "And you make them to -- as we say, the best of your ability. But that doesn't mean that there's not going to be unforeseen consequences, unpredictable twists and turns."
This is a far cry from her cold testimony before Congress on those deaths when she said confrontationally: "What difference at this point does it make?"
She later found out that the death of those four men does make a difference, especially as she and Obama still have not leveled with the American people about what really took place in Benghazi.
Her "regret" over the terrorist attack at Benghazi on her watch is a sign that she is preparing to deal with the issue before she officially announces her 2016 presidential candidacy. It is not enough, of course, but it is a first small step in the right direction.
And just as you know Bill Clinton consulted with Hillary when he was governor, a presidential candidate, and then president, you can be certain that Hillary is consulting with him now, especially on Benghazi.
There are millions of people in the country, including Democrats, who would not vote for Hillary Clinton for president. That was proven when Barack Obama defeated her in the 2008 primaries.
In 2016, a vote for Hillary will be a vote for Bill, two for the price of one. Millions will find that reassuring.
Unlike Obama, President Hillary would at least have someone with judgment and experience around to back her up when the next crisis phone call comes in. With her record on Benghazi she will need it.
If Hillary is elected the country will not only get its first woman president, it will get President Backup Bill as well.

When the latest rumors of a Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki breakup make the rounds last week, Wozniacki quickly denied the split to a Danish newspaper. McIlroy's people initially declined comment, which sent people scurrying to his Twitter timeline to see whether he had mentioned his girlfriend in the previous few days. Since he hadn't, this must have been a clear sign he and Caroline had broken up, since social media interaction apparently is the sole barometer for measuring the health of a relationship. (Call it confirmation bias at 140 characters.)
But on Sunday, McIlroy used his Twitter account to congratulate his "girl" Wozniacki on her tournament title in Luxembourg.
#21 #luxembourg #mygirl @CaroWozniacki
— Rory Mcilroy (@McIlroyRory) October 20, 2013
What does it all mean?! Probably that McIlroy is happy Wozniacki won her 21st tournament in Luxembourg, that the couple is still together and that McIlroy prefers the Temptations to the Four Tops. Or maybe I'm like the people I've criticized and read way too much into the hidden meanings of tweets.
Check out more photos of Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki below.

Originally posted in The Vacaville Reporter: Someone was going through some old materials they found in storage and brought me an annual report from 1998, sixteen years ago. Annual reports and financial audits are snapshots in time that define how an organization is providing service in the community, so it was pretty astounding to see where we were then versus where we are now.
I was amazed at how much we have grown as an organization. In 1998, we had 32 employees; today we have 63. (Eleven of the people who worked for us in 1998 still are with us today.) We have been able to increase our services because the support we receive from the community has increased significantly. As an example, in 1998 the support we receive from individuals was one million dollars and we now receive five million dollars annually.
The Food Bank needs that increased support because we have expanded our work to meet the need in ways we never dreamed we would be doing in 1998. At that time, we had our Senior Food Program, Food Assistance Program and Food for Children program as the only direct service we provided in the community. Because of the collaborative work of food banks through the California Association of Food Banks, we now have access to supply of fresh produce through packing sheds in the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys that's only limited by the amount of support we receive to purchase it. Because this fresh food is available to us, we established the Farm 2 Kids program that distributes food to students in low-income schools. In the past two years, we developed the Community Produce Program that takes fresh produce to over fifty distribution sites throughout Contra Costa and Solano counties. I would have been surprised in 1998 to know that someday we would provide over ten million pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables in one year to low-income people in our community.
The reason we must keep focused on our work is because the need continues to grow. We were serving 58,000 people a month is 1998 and have seen that number increase to 149,000 today. At some of our Food Assistance Program sites for example, we have seen the number of people coming increase fourfold. We are sending two trucks filled with food to some of the sites we serve because nearly 600 people come for the food we give. With our increased efficiency, staff and community support, we are able to meet that high demand and outreach to those who may not know help with food is available.
I am proud of the programs we have maintained and strengthened, as well as the new programs we have initiated. Everything we do, from distributing more fresh produce to helping enroll people in CalFresh is dedicated to getting food to those in need. Our supporters should be proud as well. Because of them, we are able to be of service to the increased number of people who need us.

All was calm after two cars crashed Saturday morning on Ashley Phosphate Road in North Charleston.
"No one's hurt," a 911 caller told a dispatcher. "It was just a T-bone."
Police officers and firefighters arrived to make sure no one was seriously injured. They intended to direct the removal of a disabled car from the traffic lanes.
Then, young women screamed. Some cried. Police officers yelled.
"We need more units!" a police officer barked into his radio. "Send another EMS. We have another wreck! One firefighter down! Two females down!"
Fifteen minutes after the first collision, the police said a drunken man in a Honda tried to avoid a firetruck meant to protect first-responders by veering into oncoming traffic lanes. The man didn't have a driver's license, insurance or documents indicating that he was in the country legally.
His Honda hit two firefighters, three 18-year-old women and one girl. Three people were seriously injured, including Darin Kingery, a 12-year veteran of the North Charleston Fire Department.
Police communications, video and a report released Monday revealed new details about the wreck that prompted the arrest of 26-year-old Felix Garcia-Romero of Hawthorne Drive.
He faces three counts of felony driving under the influence. Experts sampled his blood, but the police did not indicate any test results.
Garcia-Romero remained behind bars Monday in lieu of $300,000 bail. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement also asked that he be held at the jail as the agency investigated his legal status.
It was Garcia-Romero's first arrest in South Carolina.
An attempt to contact his family was unsuccessful. Two hard hats, a pair of work boots, three carpenter levels, tubes of caulking and 5-gallon buckets sat on the front porch of his mobile home.
Kingery, the fire engineer, remained in intensive care Monday after suffering several broken bones, department spokeswoman Bianca Sancic said. Firefighter Joshua Sader, who has been on the job for six months, was treated for minor injuries that day and later returned to work.
Conditions of the other four victims were not immediately known. At least one suffered a broken leg. The 18-year-olds were identified as Areriel Hayward of North Charleston, Abagail Wedlake of Mount Pleasant and Shateia Ellis of North Charleston.
Authorities responded to the first wreck between a Mazda 626 and a Chevrolet Impala at 1:44 a.m. near the Plantation Road intersection.
The Chevrolet blocked two lanes and part of the third.
An airbag had deployed in one car, and one person was complaining of arm pain. But the crash was minor.
"Everybody's out and about," a 911 caller said. "One lady is sleeping in the back."
Fire crews placed a truck in a "defensive" position to help protect themselves, the police and motorists, the department spokesman said. They also wore reflective vests, a protocol to prevent a second crash, Sancic said.
But soon after, Garcia-Romero's black Honda left the northbound lanes and plowed into the disabled Chevrolet and the people standing next to it.
The police scrambled to block traffic altogether and prevent further mayhem.
"We need everyone to just shut down Ashley Phosphate," an officer radioed to others. "We need both ways shut down for safety."
Officers quickly suspected that Garcia-Romero had been drinking.
A video from a police cruiser shows officers pulling him from the Honda. He smelled of alcohol, and his eyes were red, the police noted in an incident report.
Officer Jonathan Lawrence walked him in front of the cruiser's camera, and Garcia-Romero stumbled. He fidgeted through the pockets of his jeans.
"How much have you had to drink?" Lawrence said.
"Two beer," Garcia-Romero said.
"Two beers?" Lawrence said.
Thirty-eight seconds after Garcia-Romero got out of his car, Lawrence cuffed his hands and read him his rights. Again losing his balance, Garcia-Romero leaned back on the officer as he was being handcuffed.
He sat down in the back of the patrol car as the crash victims continued to scream and cry, the video shows.
He mumbled words in Spanish and vomited on himself.

I'm trying to get the 64-bit Gnome version of 5.3 onto an MSI H55M-E33 motherboard (i7 processor, 8GB RAM, 2x1.5TB Seagate SATA drives) using RAID 1.
Whenever I try the installer, it stops with an error message stating that sdb has BIOS RAID metadata on it so it'll just get ignored. Try as I might, I can't get rid of this. If I disable the SATA controller on the motherboard then the error goes away, but so does sdb, so that's not a solution.
I've started the live DVD with the dodmraid kernel option.
I initially thought that the onboard SATA controller would do the RAID work, but after doing an initial install I found only sda had anything on it, so it's obvious I'm going to have to go the fake RAID route on this one.
Does anyone know how to nuke sdb so it gets included by the installer?

The Onion and Second City, both based in Chicago, have delayed their joint theatrical enterprise, "The Onion Live," which was to have toured nationally to theaters this fall.
Several presenting venues, such as the Harbison Theatre in Irmo, S.C., had previously announced the touring comedy show on their schedules this fall, but have now announced its cancellation. In Athens, Ga., a local blogger reported that the show had been announced and nixed on the same day, prompting questions as to whether the whole thing had been a satirical jab by the famous humor newspaper and website.
The show certainly existed. At Second City, producer Kelly Leonard said that creative work was still ongoing on the show, which is getting a new team of writers, and that further workshops would now be taking place in 2014.
"The show just wasn't ready," said Onion CEO Steve Hannah, confirming the delay. "It's still under construction. We want it to be every bit as good and as true to our brand as it can be."

"We see a lot of pressure from thrips and we suffer a lot of damage," says Ames Herbert, Virginia Tech Extension entomologist. "Anything that happens early in the season usually translates into significant yield loss at the end of the season."
Thrips pressure on cotton in Virginia can be characterized as "very high," says Herbert. "We've seen high pressure for the past two to three years, mostly from tobacco thrips. We've seen only once case where Western flower thrips was the dominant species, and that was in a cotton field that already had been sprayed with Orthene and Karate," said Herbert at the recent Southeast Cotton Conference in Rocky Mount, N.C.
Researchers in Virginia have conducted trials for several years measuring thrips injury to cotton plants, he says. The trials have looked at the effectiveness of several materials and a broad range of treatments, foliar banded and broadcast.
"As we increase the rate of the broadcast treatment or foliar band, we get better control of thrips, and we've been seeing this for a few years now. We wanted to see if Temik responds to an additional foliar band of Orthene. At the 3.5 and 5-pound rate, we definitely saw less damage when it was followed by a spray application of Orthene. In our tests, Gaucho alone always has more damage than Temik alone.
"Due to the variability in the tests from one year to the next, it's difficult to get a reading on exactly what we should be doing for thrips control. We've often seen that the 3.5 and 5-pound Temik rates are the same in terms of thrips control. Sometimes we see a response to a foliar treatment, and at other times we don't see a response," says Herbert.
Researchers also have looked at how these treatments translate into increased cotton yields, he adds. The best Gaucho treatments were with higher rates — either the 4-ounce band or the 4 to 6-ounce broadcast. The lower rates didn't result in as good a yield as the higher rates, he says.
"With Temik, we didn't see a big difference in yield between rates. We saw a big difference in plant injury but not in yield. Our take on this study is that if you're going out with a Gaucho seed treatment, you need to go over the top with it. Our yields basically are equal with Temik. Temik sometimes does and sometimes doesn't respond to that extra Orthene treatment."
Researchers also have looked at Cruiser in comparison to Temik and Gaucho for thrips control, says the entomologist. "We've gone in both early and late with Karate and Orthene 97, early being the first true-leaf stage and late being at two to three true leaves. We found a general trend in Virginia towards better control and better yields with the early treatment compared to the late treatment.
"In general, Cruiser treatments have a little more injury. Gaucho has a little less injury and is not too different from what we see with Temik."
In measuring injury from Cruiser, Gaucho and Temik alone, researchers in Virginia have seen more injury from the Cruiser alone treatment, notes Herbert. Cruiser definitely responded to the foliar applications, he says, and Cruiser combined with foliar sprays offers a reasonable alternative treatment.
Since 1998, Virginia has been involved in a 12-state research project sponsored by Cotton Incorporated looking at the survivorship of corn earworm moths that have been exposed to pyrethroid insecticides. All states are using the same systems to collect data, says Herbert.
"Over the years, we're seeing a gradual increase in survivorship. This means a gradual resistance or tolerance is being developed by bollworms to pyrethroid insecticides."
In 2000, researchers trapped 843 moths in Virginia. This was followed by 928 moth captures in 2001 and 1,147 this past year. These moths were trapped at two locations. "We've increased our number of moths, but 1,147 still is a tiny sample, and I'm not quite sure such a sample is meaningful."
The moths were tested in 5 and 10 micrograms of insecticide, he says. In 2000, the survival rate was 12 percent at the low rate and 6 percent at the high rate. In 2001, survival dropped to 3.5 percent at the low rate and no survival at the high rate, and the rates stayed low in 2002, says Herbert.
"However, we've found situations in Virginia where — for the first time — soybeans were treated a second time in September for corn earworms, and there were a lot of survivors being treated with pyrethroids. Our concern is whether we are doing enough trapping and getting enough adults to really get a feel of what's going on.
"We want to add sample sights this summer in our northern soybean-growing region and also add sample sights in our cotton region so we can get a better handle on this." e-mail:e-mail: [email protected]

First of all thank you to anyone that takes the time to respond.
Second here is my problem.
I have a lennox system that the compressor valves went out, I have got estimates to fix it which include from 1300-1600 dollars. So I have decided to fix it my self, but i cant find any thing out about the compressor.
It is a Copeland CR34k6-PFV-230. I cant find anything to match to that. I am assuming it is a 34,000 BTU so a 3 ton.
JOhnstone closest they have is a cr34kq-PFV-980wb.
So all in all can someone help me find an replacement?
Johnstone wont even give me a price because I am still in hvac school. So is there any OTHER Retailers to use?
By the way the low side was 150psi the high side was 130 psi

Yeah, kidding.
In truth the change to the gameday live blog every Sunday has disconnected us somewhat so I figure today would be a good day to get on here in live chat fashion and exchange ideas.
Come by at 1 p.m. and I'll meet you in the comments section for the chat. As always, no Dolphins subject is taboo.
If you cannot be here at 1 p.m. leave your questiions, comments or kudos early and I'll address them soon as I can.
See you at 1 p.m.
[Update: John Jerry (concussion), Dimitri Patterson (groin) and Daniel Thomas (ankle) practiced at least on a limited basis in practice today.]

On Tuesday, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) welcomed President Obama's declaration of major disaster for New York in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. The designation will allow for timely allocation of federal funds through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Nadler released the following statement:
"Hurricane Sandy hit New York and the Northeast hard last night and will complicate life in our region for the coming days. I am astounded at what I have seen in my own congressional district: flooding throughout Coney Island, Battery Park City, and other areas; widespread power outages; felled trees everywhere you look; and some very tragic fatalities. I am grateful to our local responders and laborers, who are doing a tremendous job on emergency response. And, through the President's declaration of New York as a major disaster area, we will be able to immediately allocate FEMA funds to begin to repair the billions of dollars in damage locally and bring relief to New Yorkers whose lives have been turned upside down."

This Positive Life: Marco Benjamin Lives Openly -- And On the Open Road
June 3, 2013
I know you're excited about your work, and you're a very hard worker, so why don't you tell us about the work that you do?
When I became positive, I felt like my current job doing architecture left me with no substance. Yes, it was great to design a house for somebody to live in, but when I go knock on their door and ask them to use the bathroom that I designed, they're not going to let me in.
I worked for an architectural firm, and I saw on the Internet, on Craigslist, that they were doing an HIV protest -- against Johnson & Johnson to lower drug pricing -- in my community, in New Brunswick. I wanted to go. I really wanted to; this was my first step into doing something with HIV.
I didn't make the protest, because I was notified too late. But that evening, I went to a local bar to sing karaoke and a girl walked up to me and started talking to me. She told me that she was involved in HIV protesting. I was like, "That's so weird; someone emailed me earlier today about protesting." Long story short, it was her. So, for me, it was kind of like fate, that I met her at the same place. She's from California, I'm from New York.
From there I started doing protesting and demonstrations on drug pricing, strictly as a volunteer. Shortly after that, she offered for me to join them in Washington, D.C., to do some protesting against the FDA for approving PrEP [pre-exposure prophylaxis] for HIV prevention through Gilead, and also to start helping a demonstration against Hershey for discriminating against a 13-year-old boy who had HIV and wasn't allowed into the Milton Hershey School.
I quit my job to go to this week of demonstrations. After leaving there, I was hired as a contractor to mobilize individuals to join us for a Keep the Promise March in D.C., which would happen in July, prior to the International AIDS Conference being held in the U.S. for the first time in more than 20 years. And, since that went so great -- the mobilization efforts that I did -- I have been hired as a program manager for the Condom Nation program through the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.
Just for the sake of timeline, you were diagnosed in 2008, and then you said that you met this woman and started doing protesting. Do you know what year that was?
It was late 2008.
So, it was the same year.
And that's how you got involved in the AIDS Healthcare Foundation?
And your current title at the AIDS Healthcare Foundation is Condom Nation Program Manager?
Do you want to talk a little bit about Condom Nation and what you do in your role?
Sure. Condom Nation is a public health program. Last year, it started as a campaign. We thought it'd be great to drive around the country and give condoms away for free, especially in underserved neighborhoods. Last year, we gave away 4.5 million condoms in 25 states and visited 40 cities. We've gotten such great feedback from last year that we decided to make Condom Nation a permanent program. We realized there are a lot of agencies that cannot afford to buy condoms to give them away for free in their community to help lower the rate of HIV and STDs. Currently, we have 50,000 new infections per year in the United States.
What we decided to do, in making this a permanent program, is we upped our goal to 50 million condoms this year by way of a tour where I drive a van and an 18-wheeler truck follows me, and we visit cities and under-serviced neighborhoods to provide condom distribution for free. So, pretty much, we'll roll into a city and we'll partner with an agency that already exists that provides free testing. We allow them to test through our mobile units and we go into neighborhoods that are really under-serviced.
"One of the best days is when a mother comes with her children or young teenagers and tells them to reach into the bucket and grab condoms."
The feedback that we get from the community is great. One of the best days is when a mother comes with her children or young teenagers and tells them to reach into the bucket and grab condoms. The condom use talk should start from home. I also think it should start in churches. That's just my personal opinion. We all look up to the person that's standing in front of the pulpit preaching to us, but he's not preaching to us on how to protect yourself and love yourself, too.
When we do these events throughout the nation, we try to make them happy events. A lot of people have problems holding condoms, or buying condoms. When you go to the pharmacy, they're locked up. So you have to call somebody, "Can I get condoms?" "Oh, condoms in aisle 9!" So, now everybody knows I'm there buying condoms.
We feel that if we're able to bring basic prevention back into the hands of the community, it'll help people to have conversations about safe sex and protecting yourself before you have unprotected sex.
What has doing this work taught you?
Doing this work has taught me that folks like myself who are HIV positive still have a lot more work to do in educating people and letting people know what HIV really is. There are many times I go into cities or neighborhoods and there are people who think you can get HIV from just drinking out of a glass from somebody. Or just casual contact with someone. I'm not a physician or a doctor, but to be able to educate people, share something that they didn't know about HIV, it's amazing. It's awesome. I know a lot of people cannot be in the same position as I am, especially since I'm so open about my status. But, at some point, I think that that conversation needs to happen -- especially with someone who's going to be your partner, or someone you have an encounter with.
Do you ever get tired of talking about HIV or thinking about it all the time? Are there times when it really does weigh on you for a minute to talk about this virus?
Yeah, there are times when it does. I try not to live, sleep and eat HIV all the time. I still try to find some free time so I can go and hang out. In the field that I'm in, it's hard to do that. Especially with social media, and people knowing that I'm so open about my status. It doesn't fail that every now and then you get an email from somebody saying that they've just been diagnosed with HIV, and asking, "What do I do? My life is going to end. My world is over." Just being able to help them out and give them some words of wisdom and encouragement is great. So I don't mind having to spend most of my days talking about HIV.
What do you think are some of the greatest issues facing the HIV community today and what do you think can be done to change the situation?
The biggest issue is really stigma, I think. Is there a way to get rid of stigma? I don't think so. Eventually, by talking about it, yes you can decrease stigma, but there will still be stigma regardless.
For me, I was tired of dating someone or being friends with someone who now didn't want to be my friend or date me; now they wanted to tell everyone that I'm HIV positive. What I did was, I wrote on a T-shirt, "This is what HIV looks like." And I posted my picture on Facebook, because I was tired of people using my status against me to try to hurt me. It wasn't until after I did that, that I really became more comfortable with my HIV status. Because I have nothing to hide.
I don't think it's solely the HIV-positive person who has to do something. I think that, as a community, everyone needs to be a little more accepting about it. If HIV is put in our faces in a way -- I don't want to sound harsh, but if it's out there, blatantly out there, they'll see HIV as any other chronic disease, whether it's hepatitis or diabetes. And they just won't have that stigma, or be scared to interact with someone who has HIV.
Could you compare how you feel about having HIV now to your feelings when you first learned that you were HIV positive?
When I first learned that I was HIV positive, it just really hurt. Even till today, I still think about it sometimes. I don't beat myself up about it, because it's done; I can't change it. Back then, I did have my family as a support group, but what did they know about HIV? Just as much as I had shared with them.
"It wasn't until I started to go to these demonstrations with AHF and surround myself with more positive HIV-positive people that my world changed."
It wasn't until I started to go to these demonstrations with AHF and surround myself with more positive HIV-positive people that my world changed and I realized that I could still be somebody, I could still be loved, and I'm still Marco at the end of the day. I just have a virus.
What advice would you give to someone who just found out they were HIV positive?
The most important advice would be to link yourself to care, by way of treatment. But the most important thing is to see a doctor and to keep going back to see a doctor, is the first piece of advice I would have.
Second, everyone says, "It's not a death sentence. It's not the end of the world." But you know what? You don't want to hear that when you are first diagnosed. For me, it worked, but it may not work for everyone. Try to find a support group, or other people who are in the same shoes as you are so you can relate a little bit and have a conversation about how to deal with your virus better.
Do you have anything you want to say? This is your time to speak to the people out there and use this as a soapbox.
The only thing that I would like to say is, that for people who are currently HIV positive and hiding their status, it is a big hurdle to jump over, but be true to yourself and be true to the next person as well. At least disclose your status or have the conversation about protecting yourself. It's not fair to put someone else in harm's way, if you would, or pass the virus on to someone else, even if you got it without knowing. It's still not right. And, to put yourself into care, that's really important. And for the folks that are not HIV positive, ensure that they should always wrap it up before they have sex with somebody.

If you find that a Sensei has a good character -- CONGRATULATIONS! That is 90% of the task.
I want to mention two characteristics that do not matter.
First, it does not matter whether a Sensei is a man or woman. This should be self-evident. While it is true that there are more male Karate instructors than female instructors, there are more males in Congress too. That does not mean that women are any less qualified.
Second, the Sensei's race or country of origin does not matter, except to the extent that it might affect communications. Some people might think that an Okinawan or Japanese person would be better qualified to teach Karate. This would only make them better, possibly, at being Okinawan or Japanese. Karate is a skill and art -- not a genetic characteristic.
I have trained with two Japanese Sensei who did not speak much English. I learned a lot from both of them, but I think that I also missed a lot, especially with respect to terminology. Of course, I could have and really should have learned Japanese. The point I am making is that language is an issue. It is more difficult to learn if you cannot communicate.
I have met many fine Japanese and Okinawan Sensei. I have also met some who were rather poor at Karate. I have meet many fine American born Sensei. I have also met some who were rather poor at Karate. Where the Sensei were born was not the issue, nor was the color of their skin.
Some people think of Karate in romantic terms. A Sensei is supposed to look like Mr. Miyagi. Noriyuki Pat Morita did an excellent job of portraying the Okinawan character of Mr. Miyagi. But Pat Morita was born in the United States, was not Okinawan, and did not learn Karate (he learned a little Judo while interned during World War II). I believe that Pat Morita was a great actor and an equally great person. I was lucky to meet him and admire him very much. But his ancestry alone would not have made him a great Karate Sensei. That would have also required Karate skill (among other things).
Thus, once a Sensei with a good character is found, do not be distracted by gender, race, or national origin. These are not relevant.

BYOND has been around long enough that users who were new to programming when they found BYOND should be pretty good by now. BYOND has a lot of long-time users but there are hardly any examples of BYOND's home-grown talent. Something about BYOND is stunting their growth. Given the title of this article, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the lack of libraries (and lack of people using them) has something to do with it.
People don't use or develop libraries for a variety of reasons. Most often, the reason for not using them is that people have a hard enough time wrapping their head around DM, involving code written by someone else would just make it more confusing. This line of thinking is correct, it would be confusing, but it also prevents programmers from making a crucial leap that's needed to become an experienced programmer. The resistance to use libraries (or to split your code into separate libraries) is a sign of a fundamental problem that'll keep you thinking (and coding) like an inexperienced programmer forever.
An inexperienced programmer is excited to see the features BYOND provides. They take procs like view(), locate(), and step() and use them to make parts of their game. They directly apply DM's built-in procs to do what they need. For example, an inexperienced programmer would write code like this:
for(var/mob/m in oview(3, src))
m.health -= 10
An experienced programmer doesn't rely on BYOND's features. They implement the features they need for their game. While these features may be implemented using DM's built-in procs, there is a difference. An experienced programmer would write code like this:
for(var/mob/m in get_targets(3))
. = list()
for(var/mob/m in oview(radius, src))
. += m
health -= d
The experienced programmer first thinks "I need a proc that returns a list of targets". The inexperienced programmer thinks "I can use oview() to find the targets". While the inexperienced programmer isn't wrong, they've limited themselves to doing only things that DM can easily do for you. They'd be lost if they wanted to make the attack only hit mobs in a circular area because there's no equivalent of oview() to do that.
The inexperienced programmer thinks this way because they're more passive. They're not as confident in their programming ability so they don't think "what do I need to make and how can I build that?". They think "what can DM do?", not "what can I do?". They don't define the features they need, they let DM's features dictate what they're able to do.
Note: This is why experienced programmers can easily pick up new programming languages and inexperienced programmers struggle to learn one. The idea to create the get_targets() and take_damage() procs isn't a DM thing, it's a universal idea. Most of the thought that went into the first code example is DM-specific. Most of the thought that went into the second code example isn't specific to DM.
If people are left to their own devices they'll be stuck in that inexperienced mentality. It's no fault of their own - it's hard to make this leap without some help. Libraries are an opportunity to get DM users on the track to becoming experienced programmers by showing them that a program can have many layers. You can use DM to implement features and use those features to create a game.
Libraries don't have to be complex to show this - the Warps library is an example of this idea. The library uses areas to create warps. An inexperienced programmer might think that areas (or the Entered proc) are warps, but the library shows that we can use areas to create warps, then use those warps in a game.
This line that separates the behavior of an experienced programmer from an inexperienced one is subtle. The simplest I can explain it is that the inexperienced programmer thinks "what can DM do?" and the experienced one thinks "what can I do?". We can't expect that all BYOND users will correct this problem within themselves. By recognizing this problem we can design demos, libraries, and tutorials to help fix this situation.Most of BYOND's existing educational resources reinforce the "what can DM do?" way of thinking. With a better set of tutorials BYOND would be in a lot better shape.

WASHINGTON (AP) Over five days, Robert Griffin III completed 34 of 43 passes with eight touchdowns to six different receivers and earned the nickname ``Cool Hand Luke'' from his coach.
Now he'll get to see exactly who this ``Cool Hand Luke'' guy is.
Mike Shanahan said Friday he's sending Griffin a DVD of the 1967 Paul Newman movie referenced by the coach after the Washington Redskins' 38-31 Thanksgiving win over the Dallas Cowboys. The movie came to Shanahan's mind because he felt that Griffin is the type of player who ``doesn't get too upset about anything.''
But RG3 had no idea who or what ``Cool Hand Luke'' is, laughing and telling reporters it must be someone who is ``pretty cool.''
So Shanahan said he's texted Griffin to explain and that a copy of the movie is on the way - and that he understands why a 22-year-old quarterback wouldn't know anything about a 45-year-old movie.
``I did let him know it was a compliment,'' Shanahan said.
For any other player, the episode might be a bit of trivia swallowed up in a big victory, but nothing about RG3 is trivial. He is proving worthy of the big stage, and he's stepping up his game at just the right moment, so much so that another three-word description is starting to emerge: ``potential MVP candidate.''
The Redskins were on the ropes less than a week ago, and the scuttlebutt was that defenses were starting to figure Griffin out or that he had hit the rookie wall after a pair of subpar performances that sank the team's record to 3-6, prompting Shanahan to sound like a coach who had given up on the playoffs.
Then came a perfect 158.3 quarterback rating with four touchdown passes in a 31-6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, followed by a 132.6 rating and four more TDs in the Redskins' first Thanksgiving win over the Cowboys in franchise history. Griffin is also the first Washington player to throw for four scores in consecutive games.
``We're clicking at this point, and we're clicking at the right time,'' Griffin said, ``because this is what we have to do. Every game is important. Every game could be like the last game of our season.''
The Redskins are now 5-6, behind only the New York Giants (6-4) in the NFC East. The Giants host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. If they lose, first place will be on the line when they visit Washington the following Monday night.
The win-or-else mentality has reached the point that Shanahan opted to receive when he won the coin toss Thursday instead of deferring to the second half, as he did earlier in the season.
``It's what I always do in playoff time,'' he said. ``I always take the ball.''
Griffin remains one of the most accurate passers in the league, completing 67.5 percent of his passes with only four interceptions. The receivers who were much-maligned a few weeks ago are starting to come into their own as a group. Pierre Garcon, who returned to the lineup Sunday despite a torn ligament in a toe on his right foot, reached backward to snag the ball for a 59-yard catch-and-run touchdown against the Cowboys.
``It's not a finished product by any means, but we're on the right track,'' Shanahan said. ``I think there's definitely a sense of urgency when you know that you cannot stumble.''
Notes: Shanahan expects rookie LB Keenan Robinson to be out for the season with a torn pectoral muscle. The coach was awaiting the results from the MRI but said: ``Right now, it doesn't look good.'' ... Shanahan said he didn't expect LB London Fletcher to play because of a sprained right ankle, but Fletcher started, had an interception and played in his 235th consecutive game. ``I'm never counting him out again,'' Shanahan said. Fletcher reinjured the ankle during the game and needs some extra days of rest, which is exactly what the Redskins can give him with 10 days between games.

Which NFL teams command the highest ticket prices?
The Houston Texans play road games against teams with the four lowest average ticket prices.
Updated 5:08 pm, Monday, April 28, 2014
If you're a Houston Texans fan looking to catch an out of town game, there may be no better season than 2014.
The number crunchers at online ticket brokers TiqIQ.com did a team-by-team breakdown of the highest ticket prices in the league (full rankings above) and found that the Texans play road games against the four teams with the cheapest average ticket prices in the league: Cleveland ($146.53), Oakland ($161.13), Tennessee ($163.39) and Jacksonville ($165.27).
In all, the combined average cost to buy one ticket for all eight Texans road games would be $1,919.11.
All eight Texans home games would be $2,039.12, but season ticket packages – starting price: $415 per seat – would bring the actual amount paid far below this.

Submission + - State-Sponsored Hacking Attacks Targeting Top News Organizations (reuters.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Security engineers from Google have found that 21 out of the top 25 news organizations have been targeted by cyberattacks that are likely state-sponsored. We've heard about some high profile attacks on news sites, but Google actively tracks the countries that are launching these attacks, and even hosts email services for many of the news organizations. 'Huntley said Chinese hackers recently gained access to a major Western news organization, which he declined to identify, via a fake questionnaire emailed to staff. Most such attacks involve carefully crafted emails carrying malware or directing users to a website crafted to trick them into giving up credentials. Marquis-Boire said that while such attacks were nothing new, their research showed that the number of attacks on media organizations and journalists that went unreported was significantly higher than those made public.'

I'm going to have to forecast a great year, here are my reasons why:
1: the fans on this site have all agreed that WRs and DBs have throughout our year held us back. The chiefs brass have already addressed the top 2 priorities less than a week after the Super Bowl! They know what's wrong with this team and they're going to fix it one way or another
2: Chiefs brass aren't taking any breaks, they are getting on the ball right away
3: They're trimming fat and creating more cap room where they can afford to
4: We had 10; 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!!! Pro bowlers!!! That aren't going anywhere except DMC maybe.
5: They're looking into signing players from the CFL.(this is important because with limited cap room these players are willing to play the big time with a little check. AND they're HUNGRY FOR FAME)
