State attorney addresses controversial new campaign ads
In a news conference Monday morning, incumbent State Attorney Jeff Ashton was as hot as the summer sun he was standing in.
Ashton told news crews, "If that is what has drawn his attention to me, bring it on!"
Ashton said his opponent, Aramis Ayala, is being backed by controversial New York billionaire George Soros, whose goal, according to Ashton, is to take control away from local prosecutors.
"Clearly, you don't give someone a million dollars because you like their smile. You give someone a million dollars because you believe it will enable you to impose your particular political views on a community," Ashton said.
Ashton continued, saying, "This candidate is being sold like a tube of toothpaste. I think our voters are smarter than that."
Ayala was quick to respond to Ashton and told WESH 2 News, "I, as a 41-year-old black female, can definitely be much more than a can of toothpaste."
Ayala, who worked as a prosecutor in Ashton's office for two years, said she did not solicit help from Soros and that she had nothing to do with recent TV spots and flyers.
"I am an independent thinker who has made an independent decision to become the next state attorney for Orange and Osceola counties. There is not one person who pulls my strings," Ayala said.
Ayala said although she welcomes support from Soros, she said control would be in the hands of the people who elect her.

The video walks you through different methods that Cisco Access Point uses to discover Wireless LAN Controller and how an AP makes a decision on which controllers to join. Each method will be demonstrated with their order of priority explained. We will mention the purpose of Master Controller and stress on importance of controller priming. Wireshark analysis will be performed throughout the lab for us to examine controller discovery and AP registration processes.
The video discusses how NAT affects embedded IP in an application payload as the packet passes through a Cisco NAT router. Two widely used applications: DNS and FTP, are chosen for our demonstration. We go into great detail to analyze FTP protocol behavior using both passive and active mode. Lastly, we look at how a router cope with non-standard FTP port. Wireshark captures are reviewed throughout this video.

SGIEWW is officially back from summer vacay.
While I wish I could say I was vacationing and living lavishly, sipping champagne and eating caviar in a huge hat in the Hamptons, I was actually boiling in the lava pit that is currently Phoenix.
I must say I am shocked and amazed at the amount of emails, comments and snapchats I received, demanding new blog posts and expressing immense concern for my well being in the greater dating community. A lot has happened recently, both good, bad, ugly and heart breaking, BUT DO NOT WORRY, I am still single and ready to mingle and the blog WILL go on. More on all that trauma later, let's kick off this Monday with my latest dating debauchery.
Recently, I haven't been taking dating very seriously. I let my Match.com emails build up for weeks. I forget to change my photos on OkCupid. I give out fake phone numbers at the bar (which is better than my dear bestie who drunkenly gave HER MOTHER'S number to a total creeper the other night-- but mad props for quick thinking). Right on par with not dating seriously, I decided that I would spend the last month going on ONLY mini golf dates with men. Drinks? No. Drinks and mini golf? Yes. See how this works?
I don't know where the idea came from. I don't even like mini golf that much, but I was so bored of the same bullshit dates with the same bullshit guys, I had to take matters into my own hands around the time of my last blog post. My whole world was changing, perhaps something constant in my life would help me out.
And so it began. 23 mini golf dates.
I could review each one, but it wasn't really about the dudes so much as a social experiment on what happens when you play the same mini golf course repeatedly for a month. The first few times, it was nothing exciting, except that I was so terrible I lost my ball on Scottsdale Road because I hit it so hard. Apparently gentle finesse is the name of the game. Very impressive for the men I was with, surely.
By date number 10, the cashier was recognizing me and starting to put together what I was doing. It took until date 15 (which dates 10-15 occurred over 3 days aka multi-mini golf games in one day) for the weekend cashier to realize what I was doing and start laughing hysterically upon arrival.
Date 15 rode the bumper boats with me too. Bonus points for him.
By date 12 or 13, I was also getting unusually good at the Crackerjack mini golf. Crackerjack is this teeny bopper entertainment place with go karts and an arcade and mini golf, so the mini golf course is full of weird obstacles and uneven surfaces. If you've never played it before, its pretty hard, even if you play actual golf.
I think date 14, I played my best round and had about 4 hole in one's and was well under par on every hole. I was pretty impressed by myself and immediately started talking mad shit to the guy I was with while simultaneously whooping his ass at mini golf on a Friday night. I am obviously not an adult and he's obviously a cry baby, sore loser because he never talked to me again afterwards. WHATEVER BRO.
The bottom line here is, I just went on 23 dates to play mini golf and 17 of them are still speaking to me on a regular basis (or sending me unsolicited dick pics in the wee hours of the night). Of the 17 of them, I am interested in seeing 3-5 of them again (which some of them got the DOUBLE dose of mini golf in a month).
ZERO of the 23 questioned why I ONLY wanted to play mini golf and nothing else, even if it was what we had done on the first date.
And we wonder why I'm single.

When Tyondai Braxton left Battles two years ago, the remaining trio banded together with Gary Numan, Kazu Makino, Matias Aguayo and Yamantaka Eye to release last year's Gloss Drop. The album got mixed reviews, but received much good press in spite of the naysayers. And for good reason. Guitarist/keyboardist Ian Williams, guitarist/bassist Dave Konopka and drummer John Stanier created one of the most original and complex albums that's been given to the public in the past decade. Now, with the release of their remix album Dross Glop, the band has given the wheel to a variety of artists and groups like Shabazz Palaces, Brian DeGraw of Gang Gang Dance, Kode9, and The Field.
Collaborative remix albums tend to have tracks that vary in both quality and variety, and Dross Glop is no exception, though most of the tracks do have a leaning towards the electronic music realm. The album is organized in a different order compared to the original and kicks off with Gui Boratto's remix of "Wall Street." The track shows off Boratto's usual progressive house style soaked between every guitar note and sampled piano. It's more focused and straightforward than the frantic original. The Alchemist's remix of "Futura" employs the track's jangly guitar and ominous synth surge with taste. The rhythm and beat of the track speak to the years the producer has been working in the world of hip-hop. It is one of the most enjoyable remixes on the compilation.
Shabazz Palaces' remix of "White Electric" keeps the hip-hop vibe flowing as Dross Glop continues. The group's rendition is based around a small sample of the original track's guitar, which slouches down and walks with celestial swag as Ishmael Butler spits cosmic knowledge over fuzzy bass hits and handclaps. The vocals stretch out like a broken slinky halfway through the remix as the guitar sample switches to what sounds like a futuristic spaceship turning its ignition. Kode9's "Africastle" remix takes the album to the cobblestones of the UK bass scene. Over the course of seven minutes, the London producer turns the original album's slow-swelling opening track into some type of dark club banger. Kangding Ray's remix of "Toddler" continues the murky club atmosphere with a steady four-on-the-floor kick and thumping bass.
Unfortunately there are some shoddy re-interpretations. Hudson Mohawke's remix of "Rolly Bayce" tries to follow the original's spastic progression formula too closely. And on producers Patrick Mahoney and Dennis McNany's collaborative effort on "My Machines," while Gary Numan's vocals are sampled, not once is the guitar drone that was such a staple in the original used. With such an essential part of the original cut from the remix, the track doesn't reach its full potential. But despite a couple speed bumps, Dross Glop is as solid of a collaborative remix album as you're going to find. It's interesting to see how the artists interpreted and made changes to the original release, especially with the creative cast chosen to be part of the effort. It's unsure when the next Battles release will be, so eat this up while it's still fresh.
Plugging away since 1999, The National finally hit mainstream success with the release of their 2010 album High Violet. Of course, this entailed their first world tour, but in the new documentary Mistaken For Strangers, it's only the backdrop for the relationship between lead singer Matt Berninger and his younger brother Tom, who had no idea that these short videos he was shooting would turn into a public document of their troubled, if still loving brotherhood.
We talk with Israeli rockers Vaadat Charigim about some of their favorite records.
We talk with Yvonne Ambree and Jesse Barnes of Take Berlin about some of the records which influenced the recording of their debut EP, Lionize.

By far the most frequent question we receive is some variant of: "What can we do to stop this?"
Like all things related to the government, there is no fast or direct way to stop or reduce the development. Much of the "fight" will play out in 3 arenas: Planning Board, Conservation Committee, and the State's Board of Health (Water & Sewage issues).
One of the most important things that we can do is to talk about it and raise awareness within the town. Individually we may not have any ideas or a right idea, but together with the town we may be able to reduce or stop the development.
Here is a list of boards that are involved and what types of things they handle:
Planning Board:
All things related to the building codes, town planning, etc.
- Population Density
- Traffic Concerns
- Strain of public services
- Rainwater runoff
Conservation Committee:
All things related to the wetlands and conservation areas within and bordering of the development.
- Water that is pumped out of the pool containing chemicals
- Clear cutting of trees
- Impervious surface
State Board of Health:
All things related to the public wells being drilled, as well as water treatment facility and plans.
- Draw of water on shared water source
- Drainage of treated water

Storm doors add a number of perks for homeowners in Springfield. Plus, storm doors can be valuable for homeowners across the country, through each season. Visualization: Whether you buy a screen, glass, or the ability to switch out the screen and glass, a storm door is a great investment if you're looking for a view. Storm doors mean you're able to have both a view and let in some natural light as well. Without a storm door, you would have a wide open door that invites unwanted bugs, weather and visitors – it truly impacts your lifestyle. Storm doors permit you to look out to the city, countryside or even your kids playing on the playground without a hitch. Insulation: Skip cranking up the air on breezy days and let a storm door with a screen do your work. A storm door allows you to take in beautiful days in Springfield, whether you're still inside working on chores or reading a book. They also come in handy on the days you don't want anything to do with the outdoors. In the wintertime, a storm door with glass can add a second barrier from the weather outside. This extra layer can help retain the heat in your home. Protection: After you get a storm door, there are a host of benefits you can expect to obtain, including an additional layer that can help provide you protection from inclement weather in Springfield. Heavy duty weather stripping can help you keep the outside elements outside. Not to mention that storm doors can look great, too! For more information on the types of storm doors that Pella Windows and Doors carries, visit our showroom in Springfield or call us at 217-793-0550.

It's hard to overstate the importance of digital media in today's world. We are increasingly dependent on the internet in our daily lives — we use it to consume news and entertainment, purchase goods, communicate with friends and family, conduct banking transactions, and do so much more. The marketing opportunities that have opened up as a result of this digital revolution are too big to ignore.
A well-managed digital marketing campaign can give your business instant access to a global audience. It can also help boost your credibility, since customers are more likely to trust a business that has a healthy online presence. Furthermore, a streamlined internet marketing campaign is more cost-effective than traditional marketing campaigns.

Dharma Teacher Training Guidelines
We dedicate this booklet to Zen Master Seung Sahn. It is a tribute to his teaching, a tribute to his relentless efforts to help us to see the way and consequently to help others. I can see him now, straightening the cushions, correcting our chanting, encouraging us to go on as many retreats as possible. How many times did I hear him shout, "Time will not wait for you! Nobody guarantees your life!"
He also always said this practice is "not only for me." Learning the forms, attending retreats, staying in close contact with your guiding teacher are the foundations of our practice. Let us never assume we already understand this. I trust we will all continue to bow very deeply to Zen Master Seung Sahn's memory and to his instructions.
It is not a coincidence that the sutras and other suggested readings are in the last section. This rich tradition insists on live speech, direct understanding: "A special transmission outside the sutras." A slow cultivation and understanding of the teachings of past teachers can be skillfully used to touch the hearts and minds of our wide sangha.
This manual is offered to you. Use it well. Know when to open it, know when to close it. Try, try, try, for ten thousand years, non-stop.
– Zen Master Soeng Hyang, School Zen Master

POSITION: Government Relations Officer (based in Washington, DC)
TEAM: Global Food & Agriculture Program
REPORTS TO: Director, Government Relations
The Chicago Council on Global Affairs ("the Council") is an independent, nonpartisan membership organization that provides information, fosters dialogue, and builds understanding about what is happening in the world and why it matters to people in Chicago, the United states, and around the globe. At a time when large-scale political, cultural, and technological changes and disruptions are diving momentous and historical shifts in the global order, the Council offers Chicago - and the world – a trusted, balanced voice on foreign policy and America's engagement.
The Council is focused on four centers of excellence in carrying out its mission to promote deeper global understanding and active US engagement; Public Programming and Engagement, Lester Crown Center on US Foreign Policy, Global Food and Agriculture, and Global Cities.
For more than 10 years, the Council has been developing evidence-based policy innovation to drive US government action in food and nutrition security. Its 2009 report provided a blueprint for the Obama Administration's USAID global food security initiative, Feed the Future. Since then, the Council has convened business, policy, scientific, and civil society leaders for task forces examining the factors contributing to food and nutrition insecurity in the 20th century and the big solutions, urbanization and a growing youth population as forces changing the demands on the food system, the impact of climate change on food production, the opportunity to improve nutrition and health through food, and the links between food security and global peace and security. This program is supported by and works in partnership with a global network of academic, government, private sector, philanthropic and public institutions committed to accelerating an end to poverty and food insecurity. The consultative policy development approach the Council takes in this work results in smart, creative ideas that have the power to accelerate an end to global food and nutrition insecurity. The team has a physical presence in Chicago and Washington DC as well as a broader network of advisors and fellows around the world.
Reporting directly to the Director of Government Relations, the Government Relations Officer will undertake policy analysis, track legislation, develop communications materials, and assist in event planning. The successful candidate will have experience in government affairs, possess strong writing skills, be a self-starter, be able to work independently, and have a working knowledge of global agriculture and development issues.
The position is based in Washington, D.C.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

If you didn't know better, you'd swear you stumbled into a class of education majors.
This day in mid-August at MCC-Business & Technology, there's talk about activity plans, Bloom's taxonomy of learning, and how to engage non-participants in a class discussion.
The more detailed your outline the better, someone says, because once you're in front of a class your nerves will kick in and you'll forget stuff.
Then there's writing in public. "I told you, when you write on a board, you forget how to spell," says Kim Sides-Steiger, who's leading the training session.
What's actually going on is MCC students preparing to be supplemental instruction leaders. SI leaders are successful students paid to take an MCC class they've taken before, but the second time around, they will function something like teaching assistants — including holding after-class sessions to supplement the regular class. It's all an effort to help struggling classmates.
The SI program may be news to you, but chances are you've heard of FOCUS, even if you don't know what the acronym stands for. Supplemental instruction is just one facet of MCC's expansive FOCUS efforts across all five campuses.
Here's the lowdown on FOCUS:
+ It all started at MCC with three grants from the U.S. Department of Education, announced in the fall of 2013. The grants will total about $12.7 million over five years. Year 1 started in October 2013, which means we're now about to start Year 4.
+ You'll sometimes hear FOCUS referred to as "Title III." That comes from the federal government: Title III Part A, aka Strengthening Institutions. The broad focus of Title III at MCC is to better serve first-year students, particularly those with high potential for success but who are not quite prepared for college-level studies. Ultimately, the goals of FOCUS are to improve academic quality and increase student success, retention and completion.
+ FOCUS is MCC's name for the effort. It stands for Fundamentals for Outcomes, Completion, Understanding and Success.
+ One of MCC's three grants is institutional — in other words, districtwide, but applicable to any campus. Another targets MCC-Penn Valley and the third MCC-Blue River.
If you made a FOCUS pie (chart), the big wedges would be labeled something like this:
Developmental education, classes some students have to take to prepare for college-level work.
Freshman-level gateway courses. For instance: Math 120, College Algebra, is a class that qualifies for MCC's popular associate in arts degree.
The first-year experience.
Intensive student advising, aka case management.
Peer mentoring of at-risk, first-year students.
Supplemental instruction.
And instructional and student development technology.
That's a big pie.
Fifteen MCC employees have become full-time FOCUS staff members. Melissa Renfrow, for instance, is an MCC-Maple Woods English instructor serving as grant manager for the institutional FOCUS grant. Across the five campuses, many faculty and staff members are involved as well.
Throw a dart on any campus and you're likely to hit a FOCUS pilot course. A common goal of these pilots, Renfrow says, is trying to move students through developmental classes quicker. Those classes do not, after all, count as college credit, but they do consume financial aid.
So far FOCUS has introduced eight dev-ed pilot models, in English, reading and math.
An example: Students sign up for dev-ed class English 30, Basic Writing Skills II, the same semester as gateway credit class English 101, Composition and Reading I. This "triangle" model has one instructor teaching the section of English 30 as well as two sections of English 101, with the English 30 students divided among the two other sections.
The idea of sending half the developmental English students into one section of 101 and half to the other is that they're "surrounded by students who are modeling appropriate academic behavior and a strong skill set," Renfrow says.
"It can be disheartening when you're placed in all dev-ed courses," she adds. But in this case, when students understand that English 30 will help them master a class that counts toward a degree, they see the light at the end of the tunnel.
"The sooner we see them have that success in the dev-ed coursework, the more likely they are to persist and complete," says Tammie May, FOCUS grant manager at MCC-Penn Valley. In other words, odds are greater they'll stay at MCC and earn their degree.
In the case of the English 30/English 101 combo, preliminary results are encouraging, Renfrow says. The percentage of dev-ed students who pass English 101 goes up 22 percentage points, to 56 percent, when they take both classes the same semester and taught by the same instructor.
Another FOCUS pilot created a learning community — one group of students taking more than one class together — that paired a developmental English course with developmental reading as well as College 100, the first-year experience class required of most new students.
The Title III grants are research grants, Renfrow points out. MCC research analysts are constantly crunching numbers from the pilot courses.
"We're gathering data to understand what worked and what didn't," May says. "We're making tweaks. We're improving."
The majority of students in a developmental combo course "may not make that acceleration point" — successfully test out into the gateway course — "but we're seeing students do it," May says.
A similar concept has been applied to dev-ed math classes as well, with students using a self-paced, computer-based program.
Those pilots and other redesigned courses are supported by the "wrap-around services" such as intensive advising, supplemental instruction and peer mentoring.
In keeping with the Title III mission, the FOCUS efforts should end up strengthening MCC as an institution. Kim Poindexter, FOCUS grant manager at MCC-Blue River, says the College is charged with developing new curricular options and changing some business and student development processes — all "to foster student success, retention and completion."

I really looked forward to this gig. I had heard alot about this dane and his way of presenting the traditional old blues style like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson and the rest of the Delta blues singers did it way back when.
I was'nt dissapointed, damn this guy (and the rest of the crew) can set the correct mood for this blues style.
The extra bonus, materialized in the form of Nathan James, Peter Nande, Paul Junior and Jen Kristian Dam just made this evening a one of a kind experience.
I'm pretty sure that this was a gig where nothing actually was planned in advance. It seemed that the band just let it all flow. They had a laugh once in a while and they actually made me laugh on the inside (in the best possible way). Big Creek and the guys joked and had fun all evening.
This was a very special performance, and one that I will always remember!
Do your self the favour and give this guy a listen, go to his concerts, if youre into the delta blues genre. You won't regret and it, I know I did'nt!

Ask the pediatrician: Kids & flu
I have a 6 month-old infant, and I am concerned about flu season. How will I know when flu season has started? And what do I do if she has symptoms of the flu?
Flu season is upon us, and this is a perfect time for all parents to start thinking about flu prevention and treatment. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (cdc.gov), North Carolina is reporting widespread influenza-like activity which is typically a sign that an increased number of influenza cases is soon to follow.
Influenza is a respiratory virus. Symptoms of influenza include fever, cough, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, headache, cough, muscle aches, and fatigue. Most cases of influenza will resolve with symptomatic treatment: rest, fluids, and fever reducers as needed. In certain instances, antiviral medications (such as Tamiflu) may be recommended.
Certain people are at a higher risk for complications related to influenza and should seek medical attention right away. This risk group includes people who:
- Are under the age of 5 years (especially age 2 and younger) or over 65
- Have asthma, diabetes, morbid obesity or other chronic health problems including cardiac or neurologic disorders.
- Take daily aspirin therapy for any reason
- Are pregnant or less than 2 weeks post-partum
- Reside in a nursing home or long-term care facility
For healthy individuals between the ages of 5 years and 65 years of age, the following would be indications for seeking medical advice and treatment immediately:
- Irritability
- Rapid breathing or difficulty breathing
- Gray or bluish skin discoloration
- Lethargy
- Signs of dehydration: decreased urine output and inadequate fluid intake
- Recurrent vomiting
- Fever that persists beyond the third day of illness
- Fever and cough that improved initially but returns or worsens several days into the illness (this could be a sign of developing pneumonia)
Although we are already in the early parts of flu season, it is not too late to get a flu vaccine. Flu vaccines are still the best way to prevent influenza.
Weekly flu updates are available at www.cdc.gov.

Council's in downtown Bradenton reopens on Tuesday
Burger lovers in Bradenton, rejoice. The historic downtown burger joint Council's will reopen on Tuesday.
The owners of Toasted Mango Cafe, Kimberly Duffy and Sandi Wagner, purchased downtown Bradenton's favorite burger bar, Council's, and will reopen it on Tuesday with the help of former owner Lawton Smith.
"Lawton will be there showing us all the recipes; for the chili and how to make the burgers and all that jazz," Duffy said. "And the potato salad."
The hours will be 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday and Duffy said they'll likely keep those hours for the foreseeable future, though they hope to extend them eventually.
Duffy and Wagner don't plan to change the Council's menu, either, which means the bar will keep serving its famous burgers-on-a-napkin and no fries.
Named Council's Burgers in 1936, Council Smith operated the burger joint about a block or two away from its current location at 536 12th St. W. He moved it in 1954, and it served what many residents call the best burger in town ever since. Lawton Smith, Council's son, took over operations in the 1970s.
In November, Smith quietly closed the establishment after 80 years of history in his family.

The Minnesota Senate is grinding through hour after hour of debate on sweeping changes to the state's health insurance system.
"This is a gargantuan undertaking," Gov. Mark Dayton said Thursday, legislation that will create the new Minnesota Health Insurance Exchange headed to the Senate floor. "I'm mindful that the expectations are very high so people will probably be disappointed."
The exchange is expected to be a user-friendly online marketplace where an estimated 1.3 million Minnesotans and small businesses will be able to shop for health insurance, starting next year.
"We have a bill that will work for industry in Minnesota and also importantly will work for consumers in the state of Minnesota," said Sen. Tony Lourey, DFL-Kerrick, who has shepherded the exchange bill through nine committees and 27 hours of debate over the past two months.
The exchange, Lourey said, will have a "profound impact" on Minnesota's economy. Not only will 300,000 uninsured Minnesotans have access to health coverage, he said, the state's health care providers will no longer have to shoulder $150 million in uncompensated costs from treating people without health insurance.
For opponents, the expectations are more dire. Opponents see the exchange as an expensive, intrusive government overreach into private health decisions. Critics worry about how the exchange will safeguard consumer privacy; about how its $60 million annual budget will be financed; and about the power its seven-member board will have to include or exclude health plans from the online marketplace.
"I'm very concerned," said Sen. Julie Rosen, R-Fairmont, who made the first attempt to amend the bill. "We are creating the most powerful board in the state of Minnesota and if we don't have measures to keep them accountable going forward, we will be back."
By next year, health insurance will be mandatory in this country, and these state-based exchanges are a cornerstone of the federal Affordable Care Act healthcare reforms. Minnesota has until the end of this month to set up its own exchange, or use one developed by, and run out of, Washington, D.C. The Minnesota House passed its exchange bill Monday.
But before the Senate can vote on the bill, it has to deal with a stack of more than 150 amendments, many of which are authored by Republicans staunchly opposed to the exchange.
"Everybody is jockeying for position so everybody is promising catastrophe if they don't get this or get that," Dayton said. "There are going to be some glitches initially and it will take some time to iron that out."
The state has already spent millions, mostly subsidized by federal grants, to set up the technology infrastructure for the system. If it works as plan, consumers will be able to log on and choose among health plans the way they can currently shop online for plane fares and hotel rates.
Even if the Legislature rejected the exchange bill, Minnesotans would still get a health exchange next year – just not one of its own design, Dayton said.
"We had two choices. One is to set up this health exchange ourselves and employ the best minds we could find in Minnesota, which is a lot," he said. "Or let the federal government (create a) one-size-fits-all… We decided early on that we'd be better if Minnesota decided its own plan."
Minnesota's private health insurers have been working in the dark for much of the past year as they try to develop new benefit plans to sell on the exchange.
The plans are barreling toward their own May 17 deadline to submit their premium rates to the Commerce Department for review.
In February, the federal government provided more clarity over the basic benefits each plan will need to offer to be compliant with the Affordable Care Act, including such elements as mental health coverage and free preventive care, which helped ease some of the uncertainty.
But until the Legislature hammers out more details, the plans remain somewhat in a wait-and-see mode.
"We're closely monitoring legislative activity," Andrea Walsh, chief marketing officer at HealthPartners, said of working amid the uncertainty. "We frankly know there will be very tight timelines to be ready."

Generally, rivers follow a downhill course due to the gravitational pull of the Earth. The majority of the planet's rivers arise in the mountains and are bound in a downstream, southerly direction.
A river usually starts as a small trickle of water that eventually increases in volume as more water is added to it. Torrential rains and melted snow often contribute to a rise in a river's water level, as well as the various tributaries that join with the river along its course. A river that flows over a slope and crisscrosses across land is called a "meandering river," while a river that contains minor channels, which continually split and merge, is called a "braided river." A river empties into its mouth, typically an ocean or a lake.

All of these have the ability to change our actions and to affect our lives.
We were privileged to have Professor Paul A. Jargowsky, of the Rutgers University Center for Urban Research and Urban Education, as our guest speaker at our 39th Annual Gala on October 19, 2012.
At the age of 15, Paul sustained burns over 70% of his body. At that time, the chances of recovery from such extensive burns were remote, but Paul was fortunate to receive care at the newly opened Crozer-Chester Burn Center. He made an amazing recovery and went on to graduate from Princeton and Harvard (masters and doctoral).
Paul showed tremendous courage through his recovery and has devoted much of his life to serving others. His bravery and inspiration of others are shining examples of the qualities that we are fortunate to see in many of our burn survivors.

- Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent — the BATs — have seen over a collective $168 billion wiped off their valuation.
- Alibaba shares are down over 11 percent year-to-date, Tencent has plunged 22.4 percent, while Baidu is off more than 6 percent.
- The China-U.S. trade war, concerns over valuation and a regulatory crackdown from Beijing have hit the BATs hard.
By : Arjun Kharpal|
Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent, also known as the BATs, are China's tech superstars. After these stocks had a solid run in 2017, market watchers expected them to challenge the market leadership on major U.S. tech names this year.
But so far, over $168 billion has collectively been wiped off the BATs' value thanks to a cocktail of factors from the U.S.-China trade war to concerns over valuations and a regulatory crackdown from Beijing.
Alibaba shares are down over 11 percent year-to-date, Tencent has plunged 22.4 percent, while Baidu is off more than 6 percent.
In comparison, the FANGs — Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Alphabet — have outperformed the BATs. Amazon is up over 64 percent year-to-date and Netflix has surged more than 91 percent. Alphabet is also higher. Facebook is the only FANG to have fallen this year, following concerns over its ability to police its platform, privacy worries and potential looming regulation.
Chinese tech stocks have been hammered in large part due to the U.S.-China trade war that has hit sentiment towards companies from the Middle Kingdom.
"For the Chinese internet giants, for many investors they effectively become a proxy for the Chinese economy… and I think that's what you're seeing reflected there. The numbers that we have seen for those companies fundamentally have been very strong but they've sorted traded en masse along with the broader Chinese market," Heath Terry, internet equity research analyst at Goldman Sachs, told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" on Thursday.
Alibaba is listed and has operations in the U.S. so the trade war has weighed on its shares. On top of this, Jack Ma, the company's founder and current executive chairman, announced plans to step down in 2019. Ma warned Tuesday that the trade issues between the U.S. and China could last for two decades.
There have also been concerns over a slowdown in the Chinese economy as well as high valuations of some of the country's internet stocks, that have weighed on share prices.
"U.S. tech stocks have been teflon-like in 2018 while the Chinese tech stocks and core bellwethers names have seen hurricane like headwinds. The combination of softer than expected prints from the major players on the consumer front, a slowdown in the Chinese economy, and valuation worries have plagued Chinese tech stocks this year," Daniel Ives, managing director of equity research at Wedbush Securities, told CNBC by email Thursday.
Tencent troubles
While the trade war is a big problem for Alibaba, Tencent has faced its own issues at home. The company is the biggest BAT stock by market capitalization and makes a large chunk of its revenues from games. But the Chinese government has cracked down on some of Tencent's titles.
In August, the regulator stopped Tencent from selling the blockbuster game "Monster Hunter: World" on its distribution platform, WeGame. The authorities then published a document outlining their concern over rising eye problems among China's youth. One recommendation it suggested was to restrict the number of new game approvals.
As a result, Tencent is the worst-performing BAT stock this year.
Buying opportunity
Despite the pressure on Chinese internet names, many analysts are still bullish on the companies longer term and see the current weakness as an opportunity to buy.
Chris Bertelsen, CEO of Aviance Capital Management, said the trade war with the U.S. is likely to calm down and investors should buy major Chinese tech stocks now before the opportunity passes."I couldn't believe that if I would have told somebody you'd be able to buy JD.com and Tencent Holdings down 50 percent, and Baidu and Alibaba are off about 30 percent, I think if I had said that people would say, 'No.' That's like buying Google and Amazon off you know, 30, 40, 50 percent. Now's the opportunity and I just think if you look at in six months you're going to say, 'Wow, things change,'" Bertelsen told CNBC's "Squawk Box Asia" on Thursday.

Updated! 7/15/14 1:26pm - Added the brilliant video for "Word Crimes" below!
Second update! 7/16/14 3:49pm - Added another peach of a video for "Foil" below!
Fourteen albums later and Weird Al is just as sharp as he was back in the 80s. His latest album, titled "Mandatory Fun" (which also seems to have a title and album cover art inspired by one of my previous employer's lunchroom murals, which makes me giggle) is solid from start to finish. I can't remember a Weird AlBum that has given me so much glee with each and every track since Alapalooza.
No doubt if you were on the interwebs at all yesterday or today, you've seen the video for "Tacky", his spot on parody of Pharrell's "Happy". But here are some of the other offerings on the disc:
"Handy" - A send-up of Iggy Azalea (don't worry, I had to look that up) and her song "Fancy" which is the hard sales pitch for the self-proclaimed best handyman on the block.
"Lame Claim to Fame" - A Weird Al original akin to "Dare to Be Stupid" that pays tribute to all those friends you have that have six-degrees of six-degrees of separation and use it for social status.
"Foil" - Probably my favorite track on the disc next to "Tacky" which is a clever take on Lorde's acclaimed "Royals" which begins with the practical uses for aluminum foil and then takes a turn to hilarious result. Update: The music video for "Foil" went live, here 'tis!
"Sports Song" - A marching band fight song that you'll soon be hearing clips of at sporting events to be sure. To put it in a rudimentary way, "We're the best and you suck."
"Word Crimes" - Which takes the Robin Thicke/Pharrell team-up and turns blurred lines into lessons in proper grammatical use. This song shall henceforth be used as the Still Playing with Toys style guide. Update: Staying true to his word, Weird Al has released the second video in as many days, check it out:
"My Own Eyes" - Would you believe that he's seen these things? Would you believe it if he said he saw them with his own eyes?
"NOW! That's What I Call Polka!" - Always the delightful track on Weird Al's offerings, his mega-mix of bubblegum pop songs mashed into one romp doesn't disappoint. Bonus points for Gangam Style working in a Jerry Lewis "Hey sexy lady!"
"Mission Statement" - Have you ever worked in a corporate environment and had to read the mission statement filled with buzz terms that sure sound great but don't make a whole lot of sense? Weird Al turns them into a beautiful and catchy Crosby, Stills & Nash "Judy Blue Eyes" melody. Value added synergy never sounded so serene.
"Inactive" - Oh Imagine Dragons, I bet you never thought your "Radioactive" single would be in everything from car commercials to stadium rock applications. Nor did you imagine Weird Al would turn it on its head as a tribute to supreme laziness.
"First World Problems" - How many are you guilty of, be honest?
"Tacky" - Pharrell's catchy ear worm gets the Weird Al treatment, and if you haven't heard the song nor seen the video, stop what you're doing and do so now.
"Jackson Park Express" - Closing out the album is an epic seven-plus minute love story of a man who meets a girl on a bus, and the two read a little too much into each other's body language.
Overall a great album, one that kept me entertained (over two full listens) in morning traffic this morning and kept a smile on my face. Welcome back, Al.

Each year, the Society for Neuroscience recognizes outstanding neuroscientists who have strongly added to public education and awareness about the field. The Dana Foundation sponsors these awards. This year's award was presented to Paula Croxson, D.Phil., of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, during the society's annual meeting, in Washington, DC, on Tuesday.
Q: How did you get into doing events like "Pint of Science" gatherings?
Dr. Croxson: I started by taking part in Mount Sinai's outreach program, MINDS, and through that was introduced to others who were taking part in the Dana Foundation's Brain Awareness Week efforts in New York (BraiNY). My first event was when I told a story for the science storytelling show The Story Collider. I found myself on stage telling a true, personal story about my grandmother's Alzheimer's disease and how my own research into memory disorders helped me understand what she went through. It was incredible. I hadn't imagined what an impact my story would have on other people, and I hadn't realized how much more connected it would make me feel to the impact my work could have on the world. It changed my life.

If you have an insurance coverage plan that does not cowl acupuncture one of the best things you are able to do is to write a letter to your insurance firm, and to your Human Sources representative should you receive insurance benefits through your employer. A Nationwide Well being Interview Survey from 2007 estimates that using acupuncture had elevated amongst US adults by zero.3% within the previous 5 years, about 1 million people. The medical care is offered by a health care provider in a licensed hospital or in a medical care facility associated to, or the equal of, a licensed hospital. For whatever motive, I'm confident multiple out of five of your patients with carpal tunnel symptoms will respond promptly and favorably to acupuncture.
A 12 months after the Inexpensive Care Act, many Individuals nonetheless struggle to get their insurance to cover basic medical remedies. Included clinical trials of acupuncture; describe overview strategies explicitly; needed to be revealed; needed to deal with therapy effects. You possibly can't include the primary $10,000 that you pay for medical expenses for those accidents.
Inpatient hospital expenditures had been 21.6% and prescribed drugs were 23.1% of total medical expenditures. For those who itemize your deductions and don't declare 100% of your self-employed medical insurance prices on Kind 1040, embrace any remaining premiums with all different medical expenses on Schedule A (Type 1040) topic to the ten% limit (or 7.5% if both you or your partner was born earlier than January 2, 1952).
Even when the insurance coverage corporations are still doing this, this is one thing that has to finish soon as it is in contradiction with the suggestions by the regulatory bodies of most professions with acupuncture within their scope of observe. Aspirin is roofed below the medical advantages offered you've gotten a Physician's prescription and also you meet the age and risk criteria.
Members whose protection consists of supplemental acupuncture or chiropractic advantages can visit alternative care suppliers with out a referral in many circumstances. The cost of meals and lodging while attending the conference is not deductible as a medical expense. When you aren't positive whether or not acupuncture is covered, you can ask your Medicare Benefit plan for a written advance protection decision to make sure a service is considered medically essential and might be coated earlier than you receive the service.

Brienza, Italy
After having won a tender against the best market competitors, Senvion had to solve significant challenges during the transport and installation of their six 3.0M122 turbines. Since Brienza is located in a mountainous area of South Italy, the logistics team had to use a special blade lifter to transport the blades. The blade was raised from a horizontal to an oblique position, shortening the occupied space on the ground and allowing the transport through very tortuous roads.
On site, Senvion executed the rotor installation with a single blade approach or alternatively with the rotor installed on the ground, according to the available space in each single position. After having set the record for the most powerful turbine installed in Italy with the wind farm of Mazara del Vallo (7 x 3.4M104) and also the record for the biggest turbine in the country with the project Vento di Nurra (3 x 3.2M114), Senvion has set another example of engineering excellence with the Brienza wind farm. The take over certificate for Brienza was signed in April, 2016.

Doesn't this just look like a hug on a plate? I absolutely love making this comforting bake, it's so delicious and warming on a cold winters night.
I've used macaroni to bulk it out but if you're looking for low-carb you can just use the vegetables. I also add pancetta but this is completely optional. Make sure you do have some good cheddar as the sauce is the star of the show!!
Comforting cheesy broccoli, cauliflower and leek bake
- ½ head broccoli
- ½ head cauliflower
- 1 medium leek
- 100g macaroni pasta, cooked
- 200g grated cheddar cheese
- 50g pancetta (optional)
- 40g plain flour
- 40g butter
- ¾ pint milk
- 1 tsp nutmeg
Wash the leek and slice into small rounds. Chop the broccoli and cauliflower into medium sized florets. Place cauliflower and leek into steamer and let steam for 2 mins before adding in the broccoli. Steam for a further 4-5 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.
In a new pan, make a roux by melting the butter and then mixing in the flour off the heat. Add the milk slowly on a very low heat, whisking gently to disperse any lumps. Keep whisking and adding the milk until you get a medium-thick sauce. Next, add the grated cheese, nutmeg and a twist of black pepper. BONUS: you can freeze this sauce if you make too much!
If you're including pancetta, fry it off now and set aside. Now you're ready to assemble! It's best to keep adding the sauce throughout to make sure you get an even distribution. Place the cooked macaroni at the bottom of a large oven proof dish and then pour over some of the sauce. Next, add the vegetables and another layer of the sauce, making sure you use a fork or spoon to gentle tease everything around so you don't get any big air pockets.
Finally, top with the pancetta and a little more of the grated cheese. If everything in the dish is hot from the hob, this should cook in around 30-40 minutes or until the top has gone golden and the sauce is bubbling around the sides.

There is a balance of nature, farming, countryside and hunting here. This is a family-operated lodge that emphasizes personal service from a dedicated staff and features a remarkable variety of outstanding shooting for doves and pigeons.
Each day of shooting at El Monte is a unique experience. Having exclusive access to over 20 ranches with thousands and thousands of acres and untold numbers of birds, the scene is different for shooters every time they set foot in the field.
High hills, woods and virgin low forest surround the sunflower, peanut, wheat, sorghum, and corn fields while plenty of irrigation pivots and first feed lots dot the area; it's perfect for nesting, roosting and it produces plenty of feed - a bird shooter's paradise. The variety of terrain and shooting opportunities is THE focus: decoyed pigeons, dove & pigeon flyways combined with high or low dove flyways- Each day happens in a different area within the province of San Luis.
El Monte Lodge is located in Yacanto, a charming village between the hills of Cordoba and San Luis provinces.
Built in traditional English style in 1900, and beautifully renovated, it offers a warm ambiance with views of old growth gardens and stately trees. It's an elegant, comfortable, and welcoming home for your adventure in Argentina.
El Monte is also fantastic for non-shooters; our gracious staff will always be available to lend a hand. Enjoy horseback riding, visits to artisan shops and local restaurants, cooking classes, golf, touring sites of interest, and trekking.

Tart tomatillos make for a great salsa. And a great salsa makes for…just about anything. Pour it on enchiladas, tamales, tacos, chips. You name it. Roasting the ingredients add a great smokiness that can't be beat.
– 1lb. of tomatillos;
-1-2 jalapeno (use 1 for mild, 2 for medium);
-2 cloves of garlic, unpeeled;
– ½ white or yellow onion;
– ½ – 1 cup of water or vegetable stock;
-1 ½ teaspoon of salt;
– ½ teaspoon of cumin;
– 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (optional);
-1-3 tablespoons of brown sugar (optional).
Preheat broiler on high and line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Remove the outer papery skins of the tomatillos. Cut tomatillos in half or quarters depending on size. Cut jalapeno lengthwise. Rough chop onion to the same size as the tomatillos. Place tomatillos, jalapeno, onion and unpeeled garlic on cookie sheet and broil for 10 minutes or until charred and soft. It will probably take 2-3 batches to roast everything.
Once roasted toss into a blender, add water, salt and cumin and puree for 1-2 minutes. Taste and if needed as apple cider vinegar (if tomatillos are missing the tanginess) or sugar (if the tomatillos are especially bitter). Add more water if necessary. Salsa should be thin enough to pour but not to running all over the plate.

The following stories have been hand-selected by the Assignment Desk at News4:
It seemed like a good idea at the time -- good for the environment and all -- but in the bleak light of the new year, some people shopping in the District weren't happy about the debut of the 5-cent bag fee. "It's stupid," said Daniel Dyson, 22, a clerk for the U.S. Marshals Service. He had already been charged twice for bags -- once at 7-Eleven, once at the liquor store -- before noon. "I don't want to pay for bags. It's too much," he said. The District's user fee on plastic and paper bags at stores that sell food and/or alcohol went into effect New Year's Day and is one of the toughest such measures in the country.
The investigation of Gilbert Arenas and the guns he brought to the Verizon Center took a much more serious turn Friday amid a report that the Washington Wizards point guard and teammate Javaris Crittenton allegedly drew on each other during a locker-room argument over a gambling debt. Arenas responded with a flurry of messages on Twitter, at times making light of the news but also making one tweet that read somewhat like a denial: "I understand this is serious..but if u ever met me you know i dont do serious things im a goof ball this story today dont sound goofy to me." Arenas later tweeted he couldn't talk about the report the way he wanted to. He did not respond to a text message left by The Associated Press. A message left for Crittenton's agent also was not returned.
While their fellow college students recovered from the night's revelry, four South Floridians celebrated the New Year with a more active — and activist — approach. The group set out Friday to begin a 1,500 mile journey they are calling the "Trail of Dreams," from Miami's historic Freedom Tower to Washington, D.C. The goal is to raise support for legislation that would include a path to citizenship for eligible illegal immigrants. The four, all immigrants themselves, plan to walk the entire distance, no matter the weather. They expect students and other supporters to join them along the way and plan to arrive in the capital May 1, which has become a day of immigrant rights rallies in recent years.
A woman at the center of a complex dispute with her former lesbian partner defied a court order to give up custody of her 7-year-old daughter, an attorney said Friday. A Vermont judge had ordered Lisa Miller to turn over daughter Isabella to Janet Jenkins at 1 p.m. Friday at the Falls Church, Va., home of Jenkins' parents. Miller did not show up with the girl, said Sarah Star, Jenkins' Vermont-based attorney. Jenkins has notified Fairfax County, Va., police that Isabella is missing, Star said. "She's very disappointed, obviously," Star said. "She's very concerned about Isabella and asks that if anybody sees Isabella, that they please contact the authorities." Miller and Jenkins were joined in a Vermont civil union in 2000. Isabella was born to Miller through artificial insemination in 2002. The couple broke up in 2003, and Miller moved to Virginia, renounced homosexuality and became an evangelical Christian.

Kendall's Morning Meeting: Cooper only Gamecock on list of SEC's best players
Athlon Sports recently polled nearly 50 media members who cover the SEC to come up with a list of the best players in the conference.
Gamecocks wide receiver Pharoh Cooper finished 11th in the balloting, just behind Ole Miss wide receiver Laquon Treadwell and just in front of Alabama offensive lineman Cam Robinson. It wasn't a surprising finish for South Carolina's junior wide receiver, who was first-team All-SEC last year.
What's of more concern for the Gamecocks is Cooper was the only South Carolina player on the list, and the list included 54 names. Kentucky had more representatives than that (two).
Right now, this is only a perception issue. South Carolina is replacing many key pieces with unknown commodities. If a list of the top 54 players in the SEC after the season still only includes Cooper, that could be a problem for the Gamecocks.

Just started reading Dan Simmons' Illium , I've waited for quite a bit to collect Hyperion Cantos and Illium and then start with the reading. As I was a kid when these books came out I never understood their importance in the world of SF. It takes patience to get into his world, but once you start reading it doesn't let you go Simmons takes three absolutely different stories and makes them fit together perfectly in the very end
The Trojan War rages at the foot of Olympos Mons on Mars—observed and influenced from on high by Zeus and his immortal family—and twenty-first-century professor Thomas Hockenberry is there to play a role in the insidious private wars of vengeful gods and goddesses. On Earth, a small band of the few remaining humans pursues a lost past and devastating truth—as four sentient machines depart from Jovian space to investigate, perhaps terminate, the potentially catastrophic emissions emanating from a mountaintop miles above the terraformed surface of the Red Planet.
@DarkChaplain I'd like to join as well, I can promise at least 1 review per week(or two, depends on what I'm reading) :)
Mostly Fantasy, SF and a bit of Horror, don't know why , I have lots of books that are of different genre, but there's something about fantasy/sf that always keeps me coming back :)
Something like this :)
What to say, what to say Well, when I was a young boy, most of my dreams were actually nightmares, every, single, night I remembered absolutely every detail about those dreams, but whenever i had a normal dream, I'd just forget it as soon as I woke up:
The most occuring ones were: 1) when I was with my sister in a cottage, and a strange old couple let us sleep over, and while we were sleeping, the fuckers turned evil and tried to kill us, as we ran through the forest we kept running into searching parties everywhere, once we made it out of the woods alive, I had a strange feeling that It's not over, and when I looked up, what did I see? A woman in a bloody ripped wedding dress with her face torn apart holding a shotgun and looking directly at us, and as soon as I make eye contact I wake up
I have never watched "wrong turn", but shit like this just popped up in my head one night
2) this one has awesome ending. The village(again) which I was walking through seemed innocent enough and safe because everyone was smiling at us and bidding us a worm welcome when we passed through, but once we decided to leave the village, they turn into fucking cannibals and start ripping apart a dude in front of us, but, wait, what's next? They decide not to eat us raw so they don't spoil their stomach so they make a dude wash us with soap and shave our entire bodies, and if that wasn't enough, they all looked at us and licked their lips in excitement. We had one chance of survival, so we beat the shit out of the soap dude and slit his throat, fortunately he had a gun, but only 3 bullets, we didn't know that, so a dude who was holding the pistol managed to kill two fuckers and missed once before his face was eaten we were ready to be devoured as well, just as all hope was lost, we suddenly saw a spark of hope when one of the villagers got brutally shot in the face, it was motherfucking Roland of Gilead, from Stephen King's dark tower series, he saves the day and rides into the sunset
Those two are I guess most disturbing dreams that I've dreamt, there are more brutal ones, but these seemed so real that I forgot I was dreaming
A bit of grunge for my Insomnia
Books from The Witcher saga,I've just bought the 5th part (the last one that's been translated from Polish to Serbian), so I've got a bit re-reading to do -Baptism of Fire
And while reading that, from time to time I jump back to Stephen King's Dark Tower, the 7th and the last book, but I kinda don't want to get to the end, so I'm reading it slow as fuck
The classic, One of the games that left me speechless in front of the screen for about 10 minutes after finishing it, and a proof that team Silent that worked on first 4 games really knew what they were doing. Not like these shitty new Silent Hills that really look forced and butchered to the max, only because of the franchise's popularity Also, briliant soundtrack, and even though it's from 2001, the game can still be creepy as fuck
And GTA IV, thought I give it a try after all this time, started once, but didn't have the time to finish it , and now I dug out some old Dvds which turned out to be Gta IV, and I installed it again
