Blueberry Flax Seed Muffins - My New Fave.
Seven years ago we left Cape Cod for our gypsy adventure. We sold the sofa, kitchen table, and boxes of cookbooks. We recycled toys and jeans and an old PC. The open road was calling. And we listened.
The western sky hung big and blue above the high desert arroyos of New Mexico. It felt as deep and wide as an ocean. We thought this signaled home. But I missed the sea more than I ever could have guessed. So we moved to Los Angeles and tried on four different neighborhoods in as many years. I grew adept at packing and shedding and shelved my books by color. I luxuriated in each and every hour spent with my two grown sons. A gift, each shared coffee date. Movie night. Christmas dinner.
But the city of Los Angeles was never my home. Its entertainment culture felt as walled off to me as the adobe and iron gates in Santa Fe. I felt invisible. And irrelevant. And undernourished. My feminine soul was starving.
And so I turned my gaze East again. It somehow felt right. And I found us a temporary nest, an antique barn studio in a post card worthy Connecticut village where I had lived as a child. Here, I paint. I write. I bake blueberry muffins. I listen to rivers curving through woods. I inhale the fog. It smells like pine. It is quiet here. And the pace is more to my liking.
But it is not by the sea. I cannot walk the flats at low tide. I have no place to hang sheets in the ocean breeze.
Believe it or not, the coast is calling.
Like the long and winding road that tugged me West, and pulled me East, the tidal rhythms of living by the sea are infusing my dreams with the colors of ocean glass and bay side creeks. There is sand in my boots from our trip to San Diego and I cannot bring myself to shake it out. I've been looking up rentals in Ventura County.
If you are a fortune teller, adept at reading signs, speak now or forever hold your peace.
Gluten-Free Blueberry Flax Muffins RecipeUpdated. Original recipe posted April 2013 by Karina Allrich.
We used fresh organic blueberries in these wonderful, fragrant flax muffins. You could also use frozen blueberries- but keep your eye on the baking time (frozen berries make a colder batter). Use a cake tester to test the center for doneness.
1 cup almond flour or hazelnut flour
1/2 cup sorghum flour or brown rice flour
1/2 cup potato starch (not potato flour)
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons double acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup organic expeller pressed canola oil
3 free-range organic eggs, beaten
1/2 cup non-dairy milk
1 tablespoon good vanilla extract
2 cups organic frozen blueberries, patted dry, but still frozen
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 12-muffin tin with paper liners- this recipe makes 14 muffins, so you'll need two extra paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sorghum flour, potato starch, flaxseed meal, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, sea salt, and cinnamon.
Add in the canola oil, eggs, non-dairy milk, and vanilla and beat to combine. Continue beating for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth, and moist, akin to thick cake batter.
Stir in the blueberries by hand.
Using a spoon, drop the batter into the 12 muffin cups and smooth out tops with wet fingers. Bake in the center of the oven for 25 minutes, until domed and golden brown. Insert a cake tester to make sure the centers are cooked through.
Note* Cover the muffin pan loosely with a piece of oil for the last five minutes of baking to keep the tops from browning too much.
Cool on a wire rack for five minutes or so, then turn out the muffins to continue cooling on the rack.
Repeat with the remaining batter to make 2 more muffins.
We ate our blueberry flax muffins warm and slathered with vegan butter.
Makes 14 muffins.

The prostate is a gland that is just below the bladder and part of the male reproductive system. Problems with the prostate become more common as a man ages and can include prostate cancer, common cancer in men. This cancer can often be cured or controlled, especially if it's found and treated early. A screening test can help find cancer. Screening tests can often help detect prostate cancer before it causes any symptoms.
Cancer is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that form in one area and can spread throughout the body. Prostate cancer causes no symptoms in its early states. If you have urinary symptoms, there are more likely to be because of another health problem.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. --- The pitching and the hitting favored SIU Edwardsville Friday evening as the Cougars cruised to a 10-3 win over Tennessee Tech behind Travis Felax's complete game.
SIUE did not waste any time as it opened the game with a two-run first inning as Travis Becherer cranked a two-run shot to right field to put the Cougars up 2-0.
The Cougars added three more runs in the third to extend their lead to 5-0 as they chased TTU starter Tristan Archer from the game after 2.2 innings.
Seth Lucio, who came on in relief of Archer in the third, gave up a three-run home run to Devin Caldwell that put the Cougars up 8-0.
SIUE added an additional run in the sixth off a solo-shot from Matt Highland and another in the ninth off an RBI-double from Becherer.
While the Cougars produced at the plate, Felax was nearly lights out as he held the Golden Eagles to just one run through the sixth innings. TTU was able to tack on one more run in the seventh and an unearned run in the ninth, but Felax would not be denied his complete game as he stopped Tech's ninth-inning rally to secure the win.
The Tech hitters managed to put three runs on the board as they tallied eight hits. James Abraham drove in TTU's first run in the third on an RBI-single. Zephan Guyear drove the final two runs for Tech with a sacrifice fly in the sixth and an RBI-single in the ninth.
Felax (5-3) earned the win as he gave up three runs, two earned, through nine innings while striking out seven. Archer (3-3) took the loss as he allowed five runs in 2.2 innings.
Lucio allowed four runs in 3.1 innings, before being lifted for Jake McWhirter who allowed just one unearned run in three innings of work.
Game two of the series is set for Saturday at 2 p.m.

Pottery is a very tactile craft. Throughout the process of making I try to keep the clay's soft and plastic qualities alive. In formulating glazes from naturally occurring local materials, I usually try to do the same, that is, enhance those plastic qualities I so respond to. The attempt is to make objects which are both practical and delightful to use and which, at the same time enrich our visual and tactile environment.

Olympus just announced that its new PEN E-PM1 Mini Micro Four Thirds camera is going to be out in September for $US500. That's kind of amazing.
As a point of reference, $US500 is the same price as Nikon's just-announced P7100, and matches the retail price for the G12 from Canon, and Panasonic's Lumix LX5 — all pro-calibre, monster point and shoots. And the E-PM1 has interchangeable lenses and a bigger sensor.
As for the specs, it's got a 12.1MP sensor, a 460-dot 3-inch LCD, ISO to 12,800, and the ability to capture 3D data. [Olympus via Engadget]

Alabama loses five-star quarterback Ricky Town to USC
Southern California's football program, despite recent mediocrity, is more of a historical "quarterback factory" than Alabama's. Maybe Ricky Town let that sink in.
The five-star signal-caller from St. Bonaventure High School in Ventura, Ca., announced his de-commitment from the SEC school Saturday, and is reportedly staying home to play for new Trojans coach Steve Sarkisian.
Today I have de-committed from Alabama. It was an honor to get to know Coach Saban and the Alabama fans. Thank you!

Football: QB Ricky Town commits to USC [Updated] http://t.co/EScQZSXY6e via @latimes
— eric sondheimer (@latsondheimer) January 26, 2014
Simply put: Town is huge (6'4, 205), and as you can see in his junior season highlight film below, can probably go skeet shooting with a football.
The No. 2 quarterback in the 2015 recruiting class is the definition of a pocket passer — the traditional prototype that fits in USC's pro-style offense. But that offense was pre-Sarkisian.
Although the former Washington coach was once the Trojans' offensive coordinator and, previously, quarterbacks coach, Sarkisian is expected to switch it up a little and employ a hurry-up, no-huddle-type scheme in Los Angeles.
Alabama on the other hand seems committed to a "traditional" offense, even with the arrival of, ironically, former USC coach Lane Kiffin as offensive coordinator.
Town's reasoning behind jumping from one college football power to another is unknown. But it'll be interesting to see how a player with his attributes fits in an offense with a currently unknown identity. Is it possible Sarkisian reverts to the slower, pro-style look to suit his future quarterback's apparent skills?
Regardless, it's a big land for the Trojans.
If there's ever a program that can rebound from the loss off a top recruit, it's Alabama's. Coach Nick Saban has his eye on Jacob Coker, a promising quarterback from Mobile, Ala., who looks to transfer from a national champion Florida State team after backing up Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston.
The Crimson Tide will be just fine.

These work just like they're supposed to...nothing unexpected. However, a few words of caution: Don't leave the bike on the rack for an extended period of time in the sun, I've seen them leave black "o" shaped marks in the paint of a few bikes. Also, when you remove your bike from the rack, take the chain straps off and stow them in the car...people like to take off with 'em.

Gaza Conflict Turns U.S. Eyes from Asia to Mideast

First than anything a big Hello for all math fans like me.
I've found a problem that is pretty interesting and I can't find the answer. As all of you must know, to counting the trailing zeros of $n$ factorial goes by this formula:
$$c = (n/5)+(n/25)+(n/125)+(n/5^q)$$
Now the problem is the following:
What happen if the problem is in the other side, you have $c$ number of trailing zeros and you want to know the first $n$ that its $n!$ has $q$ trailing zeros, how can it be done?, I've searched a lot and I can't reach a solution. Is there an approach that I'm missing or something?
Thanks in advance and sorry about my English and my lack of Latex, but I'm already learning :D

Welcome to my website! I am a cognitive neuroscientist who works on problems at the interface of neuroscience and society. These include:
- the effects of childhood poverty on brain development
- the expanding use of neuropsychiatric medications by healthy people for brain enhancement
- novel uses of brain imaging, in e.g. legal, diagnostic and educational contexts
- the many ways in which neuroscience is changing the way we think of ourselves as physical, mental, moral and spiritual beings
In addition to research and writing on these issues, I also teach, advise graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and direct the Center for Neuroscience & Society and the SCAN graduate certificate program. On this website you will find information about me, my collaborators and students, and the projects we work on together.

Coyotes hold off Red Wings 4-2
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) Goalie Jason LaBarbera was too ill to play. Defenseman David Schlemko tried to go, but spent more time in the hallway than on the ice. So many other players were ailing that the Phoenix Coyotes had to keep buckets on the bench in case someone got sick.
Hit by a virus a day after losing three veteran players at the trade deadline and at a key juncture in the season, the win by the Coyotes on Thursday night might have been their most impressive victory all year.
Chad Johnson stopped 34 shots as a late replacement, Chris Conner scored in his Phoenix debut, and the Coyotes survived the flu - not to mention a late flurry by Detroit - to beat the Red Wings 4-2.
``I don't know what happened over the course of the afternoon, but we had five or six guys who were sick that were questionable to play, throwing up on the way to the game,'' Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. ``That's the first game I think I've coached with two buckets beside me.''
Phoenix kicked off a critical three-game homestand by beating Los Angeles, but went through an emotional ride at the trade deadline, when veterans Raffi Torres, Matthew Lombardi and Steve Sullivan were traded away for a prospect and two draft picks.
The Coyotes made the deals to gain assets for three players who were about to become unrestricted free agents, but also to give some of the young players in their system an opportunity.
That chance came right away.
Johnson got two starts early in the season and was called up when Mike Smith went out with an upper body injury two weeks ago. Johnson didn't find out LaBarbera was too sick to play until about six hours before the game, but was sharp despite the short preparation, turning away 30 shots.
Conner, who played 147 NHL games before signing with the Coyotes, had spent the season with Portland of the AHL before being called up after the trades. He provided an immediate spark with his speed and feistiness, scoring his first NHL goal since 2011 in the second period.
Michael Stone and Shane Doan also scored in the second period, and Martin Hanzal made sure the Coyotes got a point in their fifth straight game with an empty-net goal with less than a second left.
Mikkel Boedker added a pair of assists for Phoenix, which moved up to 11th in the Western Conference, two points behind eighth-place St. Louis will 11 games left.
``We got some timely goals and held on there for the win,'' Johnson said.
Detroit had the jump on the illness-ravaged Coyotes early, scoring less than two minutes into the game on a power-play goal by Valtteri Filppula. The Red Wings had no answer for Phoenix in the second period and couldn't finish off a comeback following Daniel Cleary's power-play goal with 1:13 left in the third period.
Detroit has lost three of four and is down to seventh in the West, a point ahead of the Blues.
``We see the standings, too. We know what's going on,'' Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg said. ``We've got 11 (games) left and have to take as many points as possible.''
The battered Red Wings - over 200 games lost to injury - limped into Phoenix, playing without center Damien Brunner, defenseman Kyle Quincey and right wing Mikael Samuelsson, along with Todd Bertuzzi and Darren Helm, who have been out most of the season.
The good news for Detroit was Zetterberg was back after missing two games with a strained groin.
The Red Wings were sharp early, turning a penalty on Rob Klinkhammer in the opening minute into a power-play goal by Filppula on a rebound.
But after taking a 1-0 lead into the second period, Detroit couldn't match the Coyotes.
Swarming the Red Wings, Phoenix fired 20 shots at Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard in the second period, their most since Feb. 14, 2009, against Calgary.
``We're disappointed in ourselves. We didn't feel like we had the kind of second period we're capable of,'' Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. ``We've got to be better when these opportunities present themselves.''
Stone scored less than 2 minutes into the second period, beating Howard stick side with a hard slap shot from above the right circle.
Conner, who didn't arrive with fellow call-up Chris Brown until 5 a.m. Thursday, made it 2-1 midway through the period. He took a nifty pass from Boedker before whipping a wrist shot past Howard high to the stick side.
After sweating out so many close games recently, Phoenix enjoyed a rare cushion when Doan made it 3-1 with his 12th goal of the season late in the period. Yandle set it up, catching the Red Wings on a line change with a long pass to Hanzal, who flipped it ahead to Doan.
The Red Wings pulled within a goal when Cleary tipped in a shot by Johan Franzen, but the Red Wings couldn't get anything else past Johnson. Hanzal sealed it with his 10th goal of the season, giving the Coyotes the kind of pull-it-together win that could provide a spark for the remainder of the season.
``If you only knew what was going on today,'' Tippett said. ``That was one of the more amazing wins in the regular season I've been around.''
NOTES: The debut of Detroit rookie D Danny DeKeyser was put on hold until at least Friday because Babcock wanted Brian Lashoff in the lineup for the penalty kill. ... Schlemko didn't play after the first period. ... Howard allowed more than two goals for the first time in seven road starts.

I've searched and found several posts on various sites with this same problem but nobody offering a solution.
I use my N1 in a car mount with music playing through my stereo with a 3.5 mm cable. When I make or receive a call, I have 2 options. I can either hear the other person through the car speakers clearly, but they can't hear me. The other option is to turn on speakerphone and they can hear me clearly but they are piped through the phone's speaker on the back which is tinny and hard to hear in the car.
The obvious solution seems to be to use the headphone jack as the output for the call audio but with the input treated the same as when speakerphone is on, but I can't find a setting or an app to achieve this.

Many folks are wholly unprepared for managing a team, but it does not have to be difficult. Amusing real-life counter examples of "How Not To Manage a Team" will be provided, to give contrast to the real-life examples.
Geeks are a special breed; we do not always know or agree with social conventions in the workplace. This session will help managers deal with their team of geeks.
Here is some of what will be covered:
Sheeri K. Cabral has a master's degree in computer science specializing in databases from Brandeis University. She has background as a systems administrator; has worked with Oracle, Sybase, DB2, Solaris, RedHat/Fedora, AIX, and HP-UX. Unstoppable as a volunteer and activist since age 14, Cabral founded and organizes the Boston, Massachusetts, USA, MySQL User group, and wrote the MySQL Administrator's Bible (www.tinyurl.com/mysqlbible). She currently works for PalominoDB, a remote database management company
Comments on this page are now closed.
A video of this session is available at bit.ly/managevid
The speaker had great content to deliver and was experienced and insightful. If she talked more slowly and deliberately without tangents it would be have been easier to follow and listen to.
The video of this talk is online at bit.ly/managevid
Slides for this talk are at bit.ly/oscon11manage
Both the speaker and the material were very good. The talk would have had more value for me personally if it focused even more on dealing with problem employees and problem situations.
I wish every geek manager had to hear this talk. I wanted her to be my manager!

An Introduction to Archives
What is an archives?
An archives is a repository that houses materials of enduring value. Similar terms you might have heard include the singular "archive," "manuscript repository," or "records center."
What's in an archives?
Archives can contain any unit of enduring historical, research, or evidentiary value. These items include letters, memoranda, photographs, meeting minutes, publications, and organizational material.
What's in Biddle's archives?
The Archives of the Biddle Law Library contains a mixture of personal papers (also referred to as "manuscript collections") and organizational records. For more information about the range of subjects covered in Biddle's Archives, consult our Collections homepage.
How are archives organized?
Unlike traditional reference and circulating collections, archival collections usually consist of unpublished material. Furthemore, most of this material is unbound and has not been indexed (or, has been indexed erroneously) according to a standard. For these reasons, organization of archives can very greatly from collection to collection, depending on the organizational behaviors of those people who maintained the collections prior to donating them to the archives. This can result in a more intensive research process than traditional library materials. However, by preserving the organizational integrity of the creators of the collection (known in archival terminology as the principle of "original order"), it is believed that the researcher can learn as much about the creator of the collection as the informational content of the collection itself. In other words, context informs content.
How are archives housed?
Due to the likelihood of looseleaf papers, archival collections are generally contained in file folders. File folders are placed into boxes.
How are archives described?
Identifying each and every letter in an archival collection is both time-consuming and counterintuitive to the part-to-whole relationship of archival collections. Therefore, archival materials are generally grouped according to broader categories called "series." For example, one series in a collection might be "Correspondence," while another series in the same collection might be "Meetings," and so forth. Series can be divided into "subseries," too; for example, the "Correspondence" series may include the subseries "Personal" and "Professional." Series are grouped based on anticipated relevance to the researcher.
How do I find materials in archives?
The primary method of locating relevant materials in archival collections is the collection guide, also known as the "finding aid." Akin to a table of contents, a collection guide summarizes the content of a collection and provides information regarding the location of that content within the collection. Consider the following example as an excerpt of a collection guide:
|Series 1.
|Correspondence, 1976-2003.
|Box 1
|Series 2.
|Meetings, 1977-2002.
|Box 2
|Series 3.
|Publications, 1982-2004.
|Box 3
In this example, the collection guide relates to the researcher the contents of the collection, the date range of those materials, and where in the collection these materials are located.
A collection guide can also provide useful biographical or historical information that helps the researcher better understand the circumstances under which these records were created and maintained.
The Archives of the Biddle Law Library has posted a number of collection guides to its website and adds them on a regular basis. Please see the Archives page for more details.
How is archival research conducted?
Archival research generally follows the process of traditional historical research methods. Requests are made to the archivist, who retrieves materials and presents them to the researcher. The researcher sits down at the table with a box and proceeds to comb through folders, identifying items of relevance. At the end of the session, the archivist and the researcher discuss photocopying requests if necessary.
Why should I conduct research at an archives?
Virtually all substantial historical scholarship has come from the use of primary, or archival, materials. While the consultation of journals, treatises, and mongraphs provides much useful information, those organs are essentially interpretations of the historical record. Any researcher who is serious about making a substantial contribution to the realm of academic scholarship should consider consulting archival materials in an effort to present a fresh interpretation of past events.

Musa Syeed, director of Kashmir-set Valley Of Saints, is re-teaming with producer Nicholas Bruckman and DoP Yoni Brook to shoot his next feature The Cycle in the Republic of Yemen.
"After Kashmir, I wanted to shoot my next film in an unknown and dangerous place. With the experience we gained from making Valley of Saints, we feel pretty comfortable," Syeed told Screen. "It's a fast-paced, gritty thriller set in a beautiful, complex and virtually unknown country."
The Cycle chronicles a teenager's journey to find his stolen motorcycle that becomes increasingly dangerous as he navigates the tribal politics, corrupt police and deadly militants of modern Yemen.
Syeed said he chose to set his next film in Yemen because it is one of the least developed and under-represented countries in the Gulf. "Not many stories are being told about Yemen," he said.
The Cycle will be shot on real locations with non-professional actors in 2013. Having received development funds from private investors, Syeed is currently busy casting for the project.
"After the Arab spring in Egypt, it will be interesting to explore the relationship between US and Yemen," said the New York-based filmmaker of Kashmiri origin.
Syeed's feature debut Valley Of Saints won the World Cinema Audience Award (Dramatic) and Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize at Sundance Film Festival 2012. It is screening in the Muhr AsiaAfrica competition here in Dubai.

Best Diet for Everyone
An adaptable Meal Plan for Your Entire Family
The same diet plan that will help you lose weight and feel energized also wards off a major health risk. Ten percent of adult women have diabetes, and more have pre-diabetes, which means they may develop it if they don't take action. The foods you eat have a huge impact on your risk factor. And if you already have diabetes, changing your diet can mean fewer complications and less medication or none at all. This plan's designed to help you lose weight; dropping just 5 to 7 percent of your body weight can sharply lower your risk. Plus, it's loaded with nutrients that have been shown to help prevent diabetes. Best of all, it also happens to be a healthy and adaptable meal plan for your entire family.

Food Label Decoder
The Nutrition Facts panel on the back of food packages is crammed with numbers, so it's easy to get overwhelmed. But for fighting diabetes, zero in on these:
Serving Size: Ask yourself if this is truly the serving you plan to eat. If not, you'll need to adjust all the other numbers up (or down).
Calories: If the food has 20 or fewer calories (and you stick to 1 serving) it has virtually no impact on your diet and is considered "free." ("Free foods" include sugar-free gelatin, 1 tablespoon fat-free salad dressing or fat-free mayo, 1 teaspoon fat-free margarine, 1 tablespoon fat-free whipped topping, 1 tablespoon fat-free cream cheese.)
Saturated Fat: It doesn't raise your blood sugar, but fat does contribute to heart disease, which is strongly linked to diabetes. Limit yourself to 18 or fewer grams per day.
Trans Fat: It raises "bad" cholesterol and lowers "good." Plus, it may cause insulin resistance, triggering diabetes. Skip all foods that contain trans fats.
Total Carbohydrate: Since carbs have a direct impact on blood sugar, this is what counts the most. Fifteen grams of total carbohydrate equals 1 serving of grains in our plan.
Dietary Fiber: If the product has at least 10 percent of the daily value for fiber, it's a good source. If it provides 20 percent or more, it's an excellent source.
Sugars: Don't focus on this. Even foods with tiny amounts of sugar (like sugar-free cookies) can be high in total carbohydrates.
Snack Swaps
The best between-meal munchies combine high-fiber carbohydrates, for slow-release energy, with some protein, for fullness. Try these three trades.
Instead of: 1 strawberry cereal bar
Munch on: 3/4 cup of homemade trail mix (combine whole-grain cereal pieces, raw almonds, and dried cranberries)
Count as: 1 grain, 1 fat
The Power of Fiber
For something that isn't even digested, fiber sure does a lot of good in your body. You may have heard that certain fiber-rich foods (like oatmeal) can lower cholesterol levels—that's because soluble fiber actually pulls some excess cholesterol from your system as it passes through. But since your body also absorbs high-fiber foods more slowly, they're a secret weapon in fighting diabetes. "The more fiber a food contains, the slower your blood sugar will rise," explains Angela Ginn-Meadow, RD, a diabetes educator and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. That slower absorption rate also means you'll stay more satisfied, which can help you eat less and lose weight. Women should aim for about 25 grams of fiber a day. Fruits and vegetables are naturally good sources (raspberries, strawberries, broccoli, and green beans are especially high). When reading labels on grain foods, look for the word "whole" in the first ingredient. Substituting whole grains (like whole wheat bread) for refined ones (white bread) may lower your risk for developing diabetes. And keep this shopping tip in mind: Cereals should have at least 5 grams of fiber per serving. Pasta, breads, and granola bars should contain at least 3.

The lights are about to go out on the last of the incandescent bulbs. Popular 60 and 40 watts will be no longer be manufactured come January. But resist the urge to run out and hoard! Consumer Reports' latest tests show that energy-saving bulbs are better than ever.
Incandescent bulbs are really only cheaper if you never turn them on. They cost about $8 a year to power. And that's compared with only $1.70 for an LED or CFL. Most CFLs cost under $3. LEDs are more expensive—$20 to $30 a bulb. But even at that price, they still save you about $125 over their lifetime on electrical costs and on the cost of replacing bulbs.
LEDs have advantages. They can last for decades, more than twice as long as CFLs. And they light instantly, unlike CFLs that can take 30 seconds or more to reach full brightness! Plus many LED bulbs are dimmable; most CFLs are not.
Consumer Reports has tested more than 750 CFLs and LED bulbs. The lab measures warm-up time, light distribution, and how long the bulbs last. And testers use a sphere to measure brightness and color temperature.
The best LEDs outperform CFLs on all counts. For 60-watt equivalents, Consumer Reports named two $20 LED bulbs Best Buys: the 3M LED and the Utilitech A19 13.5 60-W, which is sold at Lowe's. Both produce a white light that's dimmable.
If you can't bear to spend $20 on a lightbulb, consider CFLs instead. Among 60-watt equivalents, Consumer Reports' top-rated Walmart's Great Value Soft White CFL. It costs $1.25 a bulb.
To help you find the right bulb for every room in your house, Consumer Reports has developed a comprehensive guide.
Complete ratings and recommendations on all kinds of products, including appliances, cars & trucks, and electronic gear, are available on Consumer Reports' website.

Jackson County Sheriff candidate Lance Laird sent to jail for 57 days for violating probation by testing positive for cocaine

JACKSON, MI — Jackson County Sheriff candidate Lance Laird will spend the Aug. 7 primary behind bars.
District Judge R. Darryl Mazur sent Laird, 36, to jail for 57 days after testing positive for cocaine while on probation. Laird claimed someone spiked his stuff with something causing the positive test.
"Mr. Laird, I'm not sure whether you're going to make this election for sheriff or not," Mazur said before imposing a sentence in the matter. "Candidly, I doubt it."
Laird, on probation for a domestic violence charge to which he pleaded no contest in March 2011, tested positive for cocaine when tested on June 16, according to information presented in court. The 57-day sentence is the remainder of Laird's 93-day maximum sentence for the domestic violence charge. Laird already spent 36 days in jail for the original charge and other violations.
During his violation hearing Tuesday, Laird accused Tammy Sanders, the woman he allegedly assaulted, of putting something in his stuff to create the positive test. Laird attempted to play a recording of Sanders admitting to "putting stuff in my things," he said. The audio could not be heard by Mazur or anyone else in the courtroom.
Mazur asked Laird what the essence of the recording was, and Laird replied, "She said, yeah, I put stuff in your shit."
Laird never used the words cocaine or drugs in his allegations against Sanders. Sanders was not in court to testify. Laird said she lies and would not be a credible witness. Mazur said it would have been more credible had Sanders come in to testify Tuesday. Laird's attorney was also not present. Laird said she had another hearing.
Kris Putman, Laird's probation officer, said Laird did not show up for tests on June 12 and June 13. Putman called Laird and told him to go test. Laird told Putman he was frustrated with the system. Laird did not provide enough urine on June 15. On June 16, his test was positive for cocaine. Laird requested the sample be sent away for verification. The verification came back positive as well.
Laird claims the initial domestic violence charge was based on lies and made against him because of an on-going custody dispute with Sanders. Photographs taken after the assault show Sanders with a cut lip and a bloody nose. Police reports provided by Laird show that Sanders had reported Laird hit her twice before. She had no marks, and police could not verify that an assault occurred in each. After the third report, when Sanders went to the Jackson Police Department with a bloodied face, Laird was arrested.
He pleaded no contest to avoid spending more time in jail awaiting a trial, he said in previous conversations.
Laird's stint in jail will his 15th, according to jail records. Charges against Laird in previous, unrelated matters, were dismissed, court records show. A jury convicted him of operating while impaired in 2008. He was found guilty of assault and battery in 1994. Laird has been convicted of traffic infractions and having a dog at large, according to court records. There have been eight civil actions filed against him.
He contends the county justice system is corrupt and has fought his probation and previous charges.
Laird has said as sheriff he would throw in jail prosecutors and judges who violate people's rights and use plea deals as instruments of coercion. He believes the county's criminal justice system is overrun with corruption.
"What would you do if you were sheriff?" Mazur asked.
"I don't think that's proper for the court," Laird responded. "I'm not here for my political agenda."
"I'm curious," Mazur said.
"Maybe you should ask me outside of court," Laird responded.
At the close of the hearing, Mazur said, "If you're elected sheriff, go ahead hold us all accountable."
Laird was placed in handcuffs and led out of the courtroom.

Leo Bertos and Stein Huysegems are leaving Wellington Phoenix, as the A-League club begins planning for next year.
Wellington ended their season by being comprehensively beaten 4-1 by Melbourne Victory at Westpac Stadium on Saturday, finishing ninth on the league ladder in a see-saw season hit hard by injuries and suspensions.
Bertos, 32, joined the club in 2008 and has played 127 times but has had an injury-interrupted season this year.
Huysegems, a former Belgian international, has been with the club for the past two seasons and was its leading scorer this season with 10 goals.
Coach Ernie Merrick paid tribute to the pair, saying both had made important contributions to the club.
"Leo is a Wellington, Phoenix and New Zealand footballing legend," Merrick said.
The year had been a tough one for him as he struggled with injury even before the season began.
"It meant he never got to the levels of fitness he is used to as he has always been an extremely fit player.
"It is a great regret that he is leaving, but if he continues playing I know he will do well because one of the most important parts of his make-up is that he never gives you less than 100 per cent."
Merrick described 31-year-old Huysegems as the ultimate professional.
"Despite his experience he is always willing to learn, and he worked hard to fit into the style of football we wanted to play.
"It's sad to see him go but that is the nature of football. He has been a pleasure to work with and I'm sure he will continue to score goals wherever he goes, just hopefully not against us…"
It is unclear at this stage where, if anywhere, Bartos and Huysegems will be going.

Summary Meeting Notes: June 27, 2012 Networks PEG
June 27, 2012 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Attendees: Carolyn Briggs, Aaron Brown, Ivy Dunlap, Mike Faha, Eric Hesse, Keith Liden, Linda Nettekoven, Gavin Prichard, Lidwien Rahman, Allan Schmidt, Irene Schwoeffermann, Chris Smith, Peter Stark, Jay Sugnet, Pia Welch, Eric Engstrom, Courtney Duke, Jim Owens
Presenter: Jim Owens, Facilitator
Summary: PEG members and staff were asked to introduce themselves. Jim passed around the PEG roster and asked members to identify any edits to the contact information. Jim also requested that members provide a short biography for posting on the PEG website by the end of the week.
General Orientation
Presenter: Eric Engstrom, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (BPS)
Summary: Eric described the purpose and charge of the Policy Expert Groups (PEGs), member roles and responsibilities, and the overall Comprehensive Plan Update process schedule. To manage communications between meetings, Jim requested that PEG members copy him with any background information or other communications that he will then share electronically with the group.
Meeting Handouts and Presentations:
Scope of Work
Presenter: Eric Engstrom, BPS
Summary: Eric walked the PEG through the draft meeting schedule and tentative agenda topics, explaining that the July-October meetings are proposed to be structured around the issues that BPS has identified need to be addressed to respond to the Portland Plan and the City's Periodic Review work program, as approved by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD). In November, the PRG will have the opportunity to respond to Draft Policies prepared by BPS, followed by review of remaining issues identified by BPS at the December-February meetings. Integration with the work of other PEGS will be the focus of the March-April meetings, with the May 2013 meeting intended for finalization of recommendations.
Jim advised the group that although meetings were being structured to respond to issues identified by staff, additional issues to be addressed can be identified by the PEG or other interested parties. Some of those issues may be able to be addressed on the spot, others may be responded to between meetings, while some may merit being addressed to the PEG's work scope. There are also some issuers that already have well-established policy direction that needs to be reflected in the Comprehensive Plan Update. These "purple box" issues will likely not have much PEG discussion but will appear in the draft Plan.
Eric explained that equity is a factor that needs to be addressed in all aspects of the PEG's work. An Equity Checklist (posted at the meeting) has been developed as a guide for the group's work. Courtney distributed a summary of Portland Plan direction on equity that highlights background information and policy and action plan direction related to networks.
Questions and discussion points included:
- It is important that the focus not be exclusive to the transportation network, but that it include green infrastructure.
- Parking will be addressed by the Neighborhood Centers PEG.
- What are the end products -- policy, or plan amendments or implementation actions/projects?
- How will input from other bureaus be integrated?
- It was agreed that it would be informative to have "Comprehensive Plan 101" and "TSP 101" presentations at the next meeting.
- A "map" of the process and structure (who's working on what) would also be helpful.
- A presentation on basic demographics, including demographic information on affected populations, was requested for the next meeting as well.
- Equity needs to address transportation disadvantaged populations, including those disadvantaged because of age and/or income.
- Background information on 20-minute neighborhoods was requested.
- It was noted that, as currently structured, the PEG schedule of topics is overly focused on the front end on transportation; more balance among network issues is needed.
Meeting Handouts and Presentations:
- PEG Tentative Schedule and Scope of Work, BPS
- "Equity Defined", an excerpt (page 18) from The Portland Plan, BPS
Portland Plan Direction and Periodic Review Tasks
Presenter: Courtney Duke,PortlandBureau of Transportation (PBOT)
Summary: Courtney provided a variety of handouts and summarized policy direction from the Portland Plan and the City's Periodic Review work plan and explained how these were being addressed in the PEG's draft scope of work.
Questions and discussion points included:
- The Freight Plan and Street Design guidelines should be provided as background information on freight mobility.
- The Networks concept, by definition, means the intersection of freight, bicycles and pedestrians, transit, stormwater and green corridors.
- Will the PEG be recommending priorities for policy implementation?
- How will the PEG's deliberations affect the City's budget process?
- What will the PEG's role be in advising the City to coordinate with other jurisdictions and the State on policies and funding?
- PEGs will not become involved in deliberations on the Columbia River Crossing project.

We'd like to take this chance to thank you for what has been an incredible and worthwhile journey. Started with the intention to create a simple and tangible online giving tool, we find ourselves in a place where we have helped thousands of donors send hundred of nonprofits nearly $100,000 worth of tangible goods. We appreciate everyone who has walked with us down this path, supported a new idea, and found themselves valuing our country's admirable charitable causes.
After two years, we have learned a great deal about business, nonprofits, and the world of tech startups. However, our learning has also informed us that it is time for us to shut down GivingSomeThing due to consistent technical hurdles, limited virility, and unsustainable financial forecasts. As a result, GivingSomeThing will be cease public functioning on March 11 2014.
An archive of The Nonprofit Dashboard will remain open (http://archive.givingsomething.com/user) until May 1, 2014 such that nonprofit partners can download available data.
We appreciate your support of GivingSomeThing and our nonprofit partners.

Prospective performing arts students invited for a day of discovery
at Lincoln College
Send a link to a friend
23, 2014]
Lincoln College is hosting a talent recruiting
day Feb. 16 for high school seniors and college transfer students.
Called "Rising Talent Recruitfest," the activities begin at 10 a.m.
and are intended to showcase the theater, music and dance programs.
It is a discovery time on the Lincoln campus for students who may be
interested in a college focus on the performing arts.
Students considering Lincoln College for a performing arts
emphasis can take tours of the campus during Recruitfest, tour
the Johnston Center for Performing Arts, and then be treated to
lunch and a matinee performance of "Guys and Dolls."
The popular musical "Guys and Dolls" is the first theater
production of the spring semester at LC and runs from Feb. 12 to
Feb. 16.
One important aspect of the campus visit is information about
the availability of talent scholarships to students who audition
during Recruitfest. Professor Kenneth Kendall, lead faculty for
theater, said: "We have a set amount of money that is available
for financial assistance to students in the performing arts
programs." The talent scholarships can be paired with academic
scholarships for those students who qualify.
[to top of second column]
In order to participate and audition during Recruitfest, Kendall
said it is essential that a RSVP be made to him by Feb. 12. At that
time, those wishing to audition will be referred to the professors
in charge of their desired area of study and assigned an audition
time. The instructors will discuss the student's presentation during
the individual audition.
Besides touring the campus and the Johnston Center on the
recruiting day, students and their families will have an opportunity
to speak with current students in the performing arts programs, as
well as faculty, administrators and admission representatives. At
the performance of "Guys and Dolls," the visitors will also get to
see the education in fine arts at LC put to practical use. Professor
Kendall is directing the show.
Kendall may be contacted at Lincoln College by phone at
217-732-3155, ext. 283, or by email at
firstname.lastname@example.com. The Lincoln College website is

Computerworld is undertaking a series of investigations into the most widely-used programming languages. Previously we have spoken to Alfred v. Aho of AWK fame, S. Tucker Taft on the Ada 1995 and 2005 revisions, Microsoft about its server-side script engine ASP, Chet Ramey about his experience maintaining Bash, Bjarne Stroustrup of C++ fame, to Charles H. Moore about the design and development of Forth, a chat with the irreverent Don Woods about the development and uses of INTERCAL, Stephen C. Johnson on YACC, Modula-3 design committee member, Luca Cardelli and Walter Bright about D
In this interview we chat to Brendan Eich, creator of JavaScript and Chief Technology Officer of Mozilla Corporation. Eich details the development of JS from its inception at Netscape in 1995, and comments on its continued popularity, as well as what he believes will be the future of client-side scripting languages on the Web.
Please note that we are no longer following exact alphabetical order for this series, due to popular demand. If you'd like to submit any suggestions for programming languages or language authors that you'd like to see covered, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
What prompted the development of JavaScript?
I've written about the early history on my blog: http://Weblogs.mozillazine.org/roadmap/archives/2008/04/popularity.html
The impetus was the belief on the part of at least Marc Andreessen and myself, along with Bill Joy of Sun, that HTML needed a "scripting language", a programming language that was easy to use by amateurs and novices, where the code could be written directly in source form as part of the Web page markup. We aimed to provide a "glue language" for the Web designers and part time programmers who were building Web content from components such as images, plugins, and Java applets. We saw Java as the "component language" used by higher-priced programmers, where the glue programmers -- the Web page designers -- would assemble components and automate their interactions using JS.
In this sense, JS was analogous to Visual Basic, and Java to C++, in Microsoft's programming language family used on Windows and in its applications. This division of labor across the programming pyramid fosters greater innovation than alternatives that require all programmers to use the "real" programming language (Java or C++) instead of the "little" scripting language.
So was there a particular problem you were trying to solve?
The lack of programmability of Web pages made them static, text-heavy, with at best images in tables or floating on the right or left. With a scripting language like JS that could touch elements of the page, change their properties, and respond to events, we envisioned a much livelier Web consisting of pages that acted more like applications.
Indeed, some early adopters, even in late 1995 (Netscape 2's beta period), built advanced Web apps using JS and frames in framesets, prefiguring the "Ajax" or "Web 2.0" style of development. But machines were slower then, JS had a relatively impoverished initial set of browser APIs, and the means to communicate with servers generally involved reloading whole Web pages.
How did JavaScript get its name given that it's essentially unrelated to the Java programming language?
See my blog post, linked above.
Why was JS originally named Mocha and then LiveScript?
Mocha was Marc Andreessen's code name, but Netscape marketing saw potential trademark conflicts and did not prefer it on other grounds. They had a "live" meme going in their naming (LiveWire, LiveScript, etc.). But the Java momentum of the time (1995-1996) swept these before it.
