Angie & Jesse argue over dredging up the past; Cass is under Robert's power as he drugs her for info
Posted: May 16th, 2008 @ 7:47pm

Angie: Hey, baby.
Jesse: Hey.
Angie: Mmm. Got your message. This is a nice surprise.
Jesse: Yeah, just needed to see my bride to be.
Angie: Mm-hmm, now tell me why you're really here.
Jesse: I wanted to talk to you about something.
Angie: Couldn't wait until I got home?
Jesse: I don't -- I'm a little worried about Cassandra.
Angie: What do you mean you're worried about Cassandra?
Jesse: I don't know. It's just a feeling, I guess. She said she's been missing things.
Angie: Like what? Paris? Her dad?
Jesse: No, no, something physical. She feels like somebody's been going through her stuff.
Angie: Well, was something taken?
Jesse: Well, she was kind of vague about all that, but, uh, she -- remember she was looking for something earlier?
Angie: Well, you know, Cassandra has never been known for her organization.
Jesse: Yeah, you didn't see it? She was really uneasy.
Angie: Well, honey, she has a lot going on right now.
[Jesse sighs]
Jesse: Yeah, I --
Angie: Baby? Don't go looking for trouble where there isn't any.
Jesse: What's that supposed to mean?
Angie: The bad man's dead, jesse. You saw it with your own eyes. Now, nobody is chasing you anymore.
[Jesse sighs]
Angie: Ok? You're finally safe. You, me, frankie, and cassandra. Nothing bad is ever going to touch us again.
Jesse: Whatever papel wanted from me, he didn't get it, which means it's still out there, probably in that little toy you gave away to charity.
Angie: That's just it. I gave it away, Jesse. As in it's not our problem anymore. Baby, look. I know it's been hard for you, letting this go, but please, please, don't find excuses to dredge this all up again.
Jesse: Look, I'm not find -- baby, something is off with Cassandra. That's all I'm saying.
Angie: Well, from an 18-year-old who's fighting like crazy to fit in?
Jesse: Meaning?
Angie: Meaning I'm surprised it was just a vibe and not an all-out electric shock.
Jesse: All right, this is me, shutting up. Dropping the subject. No more papel. No more vibes. I'm done. Capito.
[Angie laughs] Jesse: Finito. "Shut up, jesse," right?
[Jesse laughs]
Angie: All right, all right, so what do we talk about instead?
Jesse: Um, wedding?
Angie: Oh, god, Jesse. Can you believe that we'll get to say "I do" in front of god, friends, our entire family?
Jesse: Yeah. And we're going to do it right this time. Oh, by the way, that dress you picked out? Killer. Joking.
[Angie makes slapping noise]
Jesse: Oh! Angie: Jesse, you know what? That is not funny. We have had enough bad luck to last us a lifetime.
Jesse: All right, you're right. From here on out, good luck all the way.
Cassandra: I don't know when my mom and Jesse are going to be home, so --
Robert: Oh, I -- I don't mind waiting, if that's all right. Besides, like I said, I came by to see you, too.
Cassandra: Why?
Robert: Well, after that conversation we had in the comeback, I thought you might like to look at some of my drawings.
Cassandra: Oh.
Robert: Huh?
Cassandra: Cool. Do you want a drink or something?
Robert: Well, that'd be just great, if you don't mind. I'll -- and I'll just have what you're having.
Cassandra: Ok. Oh, I have this new drink, this soda I discovered in paris. It's amazing. I had to hide some in my room from Frankie. You'll see. You won't know what hit you.
She leaves the room
Robert: That's funny, because neither will you.
Colby: ...can you do me a favor, Uncle Stuart?
Stuart: Of course.
Colby: I was supposed to drive little a back to babe's, but I'm running late for my shift at the hospital. Do you think you could take him?
Stuart: Oh, I'd love that.
Colby: Oh, one more thing. Could you drop this off at the hubbards' on your way?
Stuart: Sure.
Colby: You're the best.
[Stuart chuckles]
Stuart: Well, you worn little animal, you. You must be very important to somebody at the Hubbards'.
Cassandra: I just need to get some ice. Ow!
Robert: Oh, I'm sorry. Did that hurt?
Robert: What happened to that elephant?
Cassandra: Mommy was going to give him to charity, but I took him. I brought him with me to paris.
Robert: Now, did you leave it there? Ok. Where is it right now?
Cassandra: I don't know.
Robert: What do you mean you don't know?
Cassandra: I had him with me that night I saw you at the comeback, but I haven't seen him since. I don't know where mr. Trunks is.
Robert: That's the wrong answer, Cassandra. You better give me what I want, or you're going to wind up missing a lot more than just a stuffed animal.
Robert: Cassandra. Now, when I snap my fingers, you're going to go into a deep sleep. All right? When you wake up, you're not going to remember any of this. But you're going to keep looking for that elephant until you find it. Now, do you understand? All right, good. Now, you ready for your nap? Three, two, one.
[Knock at door]
Stuart: Anybody home?
Robert: Damn.

zh-CN:Btrfs Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary end
Btrfs is a new copy on write (COW) filesystem for Linux aimed at implementing advanced features while focusing on fault tolerance, repair and easy administration. Jointly developed by Oracle, Red Hat, Fujitsu, Intel, SUSE and many others, Btrfs is licensed under the GPL and open for contribution from anyone.

Recent Developments and News Links
- Summary of Chris Mason's talk from LFCS 2012
- On 2012-03-28, btrfs-progs includes btrfsck, a tool that can fix errors on btrfs filesystems.
- Oracle has packaged this version of btrfs-progs and released it to their customers of Oracle Linux 6 and backported to 5.
- Arch Linux supplies this version in core/btrfs-progs (since version 0.19.20120328-1).
Btrfs support is included in the the linux package (as a module). User space utilities are available in btrfs-progs.
For multi-devices support (RAID like feature of btrfs) aka btrfs volume in early boot, you have to enable btrfs mkinitcpio hook (provided by mkinitcpio package) to be able to use, for example, a root btrfs volume. If the btrfs volume is a non-system volume, one can only use USEBTRFS="yes" in /etc/rc.conf
However, if you only use bare btrfs partition, such options are not needed.
For more option/feature, users may want to install mkinitcpio-btrfsAUR from the AUR. This package will install a mkinitcpio hook called btrfs_advanced intended for those who wish to have automatic rollback feature.
Creating a Btrfs Partition
Format a New Partition to Btrfs
# mkfs.btrfs [options] dev [dev ...]
One can select multiple devices to create a RAID. Supported RAID levels include RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 10. By default, metadata is mirrored and data is striped.
Convert Ext3/4 to Btrfs
- Boot a live CD (Arch for example)
- Enable [remote-core] and [remote-testing]
- Setup the network
modprobe btrfs
- Install btrfs-progs (make sure versions of dependencies match: glibc, e2fsprogs)
- Run
- Mount the converted partition and modify the
/etc/fstabfile specifying either
btrfsfor the partition type.
- Chroot into the system and rebuild the GRUB entry (see Install from Existing Linux and GRUB articles, if unfamiliar with this procedure.
Btrfs Features
Multi-device filesystem and RAID feature
Multi-device filesystem
When creating a btrfs filesystem, you can pass as many partitions or disk devices as you want to mkfs.btrfs. The filesystem will be created across these devices. You can "merge" this way, multiple partitions or devices to get a big btrfs filesystem.
You can also add or remove device from an existing btrfs filesystem (caution is mandatory).
A multi-device btrfs filesystem (also called a btrfs volume) is not recognized until
# btrfs device scan
has been run. This is the purpose of the btrfs mkinitcpio hook or the USEBTRFS variable in /etc/rc.conf
RAID features
When creating multi-device filesystem, you can also specify to use RAID0, RAID1 or RAID10 across the devices you have added to the filesystem.
One of the features of btrfs is the use of subvolumes. Subvolumes are basically a named btree that holds files and directories. They have inodes inside the tree of tree roots and can have non-root owners and groups. Subvolumes can optionally be given a quota of blocks. All of the blocks and file extents inside of subvolumes are reference counted to allow snapshotting. Similar to the dynamically expanding storage of a virtual machine that will only use as much space on a device as needed. Eliminating several half-filled partitions. One can also mount the subvolumes with different mount options giving more flexibility in security.
To create a subvolume:
# btrfs subvolume create [<dest>/]
For increased flexibility, install your system into a dedicated subvolume, and use:
rootflags=subvol=<whatever you called the subvol>
In the kernel boot parameters. It makes system rollbacks possible.
If using for the root partition, it is advisable to add crc32c to the modules array in
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf as well as adding
btrfs to the HOOKS.
To create a snapshot:
# btrfs subvolume snapshot <source> [<dest>/]<name>
Snapshots are not recursive, this means that every subvolume inside subvolume will be an empty directory inside the snapshot.
Btrfs supports online defragmentation. To defragment the metadata of the root folder, simply do:
# btrfs filesystem defragment /
This will not defragment the entire system. For more information, see this page on the btrfs wiki.
Btrfs supports transparent compression, which means every file on the partition is automatically compressed. This does not only reduce the size of those files, but also improves performance, in particular if using the lzo algorithm. Compression is enabled using the
compress=gzip or
compress=lzo mount options. Only files created or modified after the mount option is added will be compressed, so to fully benefit from compression it should be enabled during installation. After preparing the hard drive, simply switch to another terminal (Template:Keypress), and run the following command:
# mount -o remount,compress=lzo /dev/sdXY /mnt/target
After the installation is finished, add
compress=lzo to the mount options of the root filesystem in

"Overwhelming" evidence shows Lance Armstrong engaged in the biggest doping conspiracy in sports history to win the Tour de France seven times, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) said on Wednesday.
USADA chief executive Travis T Tygart said it has submitted a report on why it banned Armstrong for life in August to the International Cycling Union (UCI) and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and released more than 1 000 pages of supporting evidence gathered in a probe of Armstrong and the US Postal Service team.
"The evidence of the US Postal Service Pro Cycling Team-run scheme is overwhelming," Tygart said. "The evidence shows beyond any doubt that the US Postal Service Pro Cycling Team ran the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping program that sport has ever seen."
That includes testimony from 26 people, 15 of them with knowledge of US Postal riders and doping activities, including George Hincapie, who admitted in a statement Wednesday that he took performance-enhancing drugs. "It's extremely difficult today to acknowledge that during a part of my career I used banned substances," he said.
"Early in my professional career, it became clear to me that, given the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs by cyclists at the top of the profession, it was not possible to compete at the highest level without them.
"I deeply regret that choice and sincerely apologise to my family, teammates and fans."
Other former Armstrong teammates who testified include Frankie Andreu, Michael Barry, Tom Danielson, Tyler Hamilton, Floyd Landis, Levi Leipheimer, Stephen Swart, Christian Vande Velde, Jonathan Vaughters and David Zabriskie.
"Different categories of eyewitness, documentary, first-hand, scientific, direct and circumstantial evidence reveal conclusive and undeniable proof that brings to the light of day for the first time this systemic, sustained and highly professionalised team-run doping conspiracy," Tygart said.
Banned for life
Armstrong was banned for life by USADA and stripped of his seven Tour de France triumphs from 1999-2005 after declining the chance to challenge the doping charges against him before a USADA arbitration panel.
Armstrong, who has denied any wrongoding, said he was weary of years of allegations against him and tired of fighting, instead hoping to focus on his Livestrong foundation and anti-cancer fundraising activities.
The decision not to press ahead with a defense against the charges and take the chance to contest the evidence against him came after Armstrong lost a legal fight in US court to challenge USADA's system of hearing doping appeals.
"Lance Armstrong was given the same opportunity to come forward and be part of the solution. He rejected it," Tygart said. "Instead he exercised his legal right not to contest the evidence and knowingly accepted the imposition of a ban from recognised competition for life and disqualification of his competitive results from 1998 forward."
The UCI has challenged USADA's authority to bring charges against Armstrong but WADA backed USADA's jurisdiction and power to press the case. The UCI could appeal the sanctions against Armstrong to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Three US Postal team members — director Johan Bruyneel, doctor Pedro Celaya and trainer Jose Marti — have chosen to contest the charges and face a public hearing on the matter, likely later this year.
A letter from Armstrong attorney Tim Herman to USADA on Tuesday attacked the report by saying it would not include all details uncovered in the probe. "USADA will no doubt accept the stories told by Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton as gospel," Herman wrote.
"A reasoned decision would include all prior inconsistent statements by these witnesses."
But USADA also cites such documents as financial payments and emails as well as scientific data and laboratory test results to show Armstrong used and distributed performance-enhancing drugs.
"[Evidence does] confirm the disappointing truth about the deceptive activities of the USPS Team, a team that received tens of millions of American taxpayer dollars in funding," Tygart said.
Tygart said the programme was designed to evade detection as well as pressure athletes into taking drugs and maintain a "code of silence" about the activities.
"We always hoped this investigation would bring to a close this troubling chapter in cycling's history and we hope the sport will use this tragedy to prevent it from ever happening again," Tygart said.
Tygart called upon the UCI to encourage riders to reveal the truth and not be "chained to the past forever".
"We believe that allowing individuals to come forward and acknowledge the truth about their past doping may be the only way to truly dismantle the remaining system that allowed this 'EPO and Blood Doping Era' to flourish.
"The riders who participated in the USPS Team doping conspiracy and truthfully assisted have been courageous in making the choice to stop perpetuating the sporting fraud, and they have suffered greatly." – Sapa-AFP

Q: How do I treat my pond fish for ich and other diseases?
Nadine – Okemos, MI
A: There's nothing sadder than a sick fish—particularly when it's your friendliest koi or most gregarious goldfish. If your underwater pal is looking a little under the weather, here's what you need to do to nurse him back to health.
1. Water Change
Some clean, fresh water can make a big difference. It's full of oxygen, and it's devoid of pathogens that could be sapping his immune system and making him sick. So the first thing to do is complete a 25 percent water change to get some new wet stuff into the pond.
If only one or two fish seem to be affected, sequester them in an isolation tank. You can use an aquarium, a large plastic bin, a child-size swimming pool—whatever size is appropriate for your fish. Be sure to add pond salt to the water, which reduces fish stress, as well as an aerator and a net to cover the tank.
2. Inspect Your Fish
Next, you'll need to get up close and personal with your finned friend. Examine him from head to tailfin. Do you see any signs of inflammation? Is there redness in his gills? Do you see cuts or scrapes? Strange parasites or spots? Make note of unusual findings to determine what illness your fish has. Some common diseases include:
- Ich: Technically known as Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, ich is an ectoparasite that presents as white spots on the body, fins and gills. Symptoms include loss of appetite, rapid breathing, hiding, resting on the bottom of the pond or tank, flashing, rubbing and scratching against objects, and upside down swimming near the surface. If not treated, ich will kill your fish.
- Anchor Worm: These copepod crustaceans from the genus Lernaea are parasites that latch onto fish and grow into an unsegmented worm-like protrusion. Visible with the naked eye, anchor worms cause localized skin redness and inflammation. A fish with anchor worm may frequently rub on objects or flash, have trouble breathing and appear lethargic.
- Fungus: Unlike ich and anchor worms, fungal disease—scientific name Saprolegnia—is an actual fungus that grows on fish that are injured or sick. Appearing as a white coating or cotton-like growths on the skin or fins, the fungus will eat away on the fish if left untreated, ultimately killing the fish.
4. Treat the Disease
Once you've determined what ails your fish, treat him with an appropriate remedy. You can find a range of treatments on The Pond Guy® Fish Health page, but here are some popular choices:
- MinnFinn™ is a natural, biodegradable, broad-spectrum treatment for parasites and fungal and bacterial infections. Many issues can be eliminated in as few as one to three treatments.
- Microbe-Lift® Parazoryne specifically attacks parasites, like anchor worms, fish lice and flukes, on goldfish and koi.
- Aquatic Nutrition Medicated Fish Food is formulated with four antibiotics that combat bacterial infections and disease while providing nutrition to your pond inhabitants. The soft pellets sink to the bottom of the pond where sick fish tend to hide.
- CrystalClear® KnockOut™ PLUS treats just about everything, including ich, parasites, protozoa, bacteria and fungi, that affect koi and goldfish.
4. Reevaluate Your Routine
You know the old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure …" Well, when it comes to fish health, most times it's true. Prevention is key to keeping your koi and goldfish healthy, and that prevention centers on your maintenance routines.
We recommend routine water changes, use of pond salt in low doses (don't worry: it's safe for your plants), filter clean-outs and removal of debris from the bottom of your pond. Doing so will keep your pond clean—and your fish happy and healthy.

In this lab, you will use Amazon EMR to analyze Ngrams from Google Books. An n-gram is a contiguous sequence of n items from a given sequence of text or speech. For example, consider this sentence:
Some 2-grams from this sentence are "the sun", "in the" and "sets in". A sample 3-gram is "sets in the" and a sample 4-gram is "rises in the east".
N-grams are used to predict the probability of certain words appearing in a sequence. This can be useful for providing typing suggestions on web pages and mobile phones.
The steps in this lab are very similar to the activities that a Data Scientist would perform when analyzing a new set of data. This includes loading the data, examining the data attributes and writing SQL to analyze the data. You will run SQL against publicly available Ngrams data stored in Amazon S3 to gain interesting insights.
After completing this lab, you will be able to:
- Create an Amazon EMR cluster running Hive and Ganglia
- Use Hive statements to create tables from Google Ngram input data stored in Amazon S3
- Run Hive queries to drill-down and analyze data
- Use Ganglia to monitor an AMR cluster

Is it too late to jump into the stock rally?
- Investors are wondering if they%27ve missed out by not being in the market from the 2009 lows
- The fact so many individual investors sat out the rally in stocks means there%27s more upside
- Avoiding daytrading%2C having realistic expectations are critical as the bull market ages
Investors watching the stock market's powerful rally from the sidelines might be wondering if there's still time to pile in, or if they missed their chance.
There's no question stocks have come a long way as the ongoing bull market continues to gain steam. Thanks to another 0.6% gain by the Standard & Poor's 500 index Thursday, the broad market measure is up 119% from the lows set in 2009.
Despite the market's upward trajectory, some think there's still room for investors to participate in what's been a market rally that's left many fearful individual investors behind. "You haven't missed it," says Chris Johnson, director of research at JK Investment Group. "This bull market can continue."
STOCKS:Why does this bull market get no respect?
TRACK STOCKS:Get real-time quotes with our free Portfolio Tracker
Investors who panicked in 2009, sold and never bought back in may have missed a big chunk of the market-recovery gains. But these investors might still find opportunities in stocks because:
• Money is sitting on the sidelines. The fact that so many investors bailed out of the stock market and have stayed away is actually a positive for the future, Johnson says. Much of the cash investors have been yanking out of the stock market is money that can come back into stocks and push up prices, he says. "There's a great pool of potential investors," he says.
• Stocks still have appealing characteristics. Despite the market's run, the valuations aren't out of line, historically speaking, says Charles Crane of Douglass Winthrop Advisors. The price-to-earnings ratio on the S&P 500 is 15, based on reported earnings over the past 12 months. That's below the average 18.8 P-E on the S&P 500 on the same basis since 1988. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is paying investors record dividends and sports a dividend yield of 2.2%, which is compelling compared with the 1.83% yield on the 10-year Treasury note. "Stocks still represent the most appealing asset class out there," Crane says.
• Positive momentum. Investors understandably don't trust the stock market rally, since it comes as many consumers are struggling with unemployment and higher taxes, says Joe Saluzzi of Themis Trading. But the stock market is rising despite pain on Main Street as investors are pushing up stock prices as companies' earnings rise, he says. Companies in the S&P 500 are expected to report 13.8% higher earnings in 2013, says S&P Dow Jones Indices. Smart investors will find attractive stocks and avoid the losers game of trying to time the market, he says.
Crane says investors should expect stocks to keep doing as well as they have been. In some ways, though, the fact individual investors hold stocks in such low regard means there's still upside, Johnson says.
"When expectations are low, that's when markets go higher," he says. "We have low expectations."

The British Fashion Council (BFC) today announces that seven of the Rock Vault designers will showcase their collections at The Couture Show in Las Vegas, 30th May – June 3rd 2013. British jewellers Fernando Jorge, Hannah Martin, Imogen Belfield, Jo Hayes Ward, Melanie Georgacopoulos, Tomasz Donocik and Yunus & Eliza will present their collections within the Stephen Webster ballroom to top US press and buyers during Couture's five day showcase.
Rock Vault, now in its fourth season, is a showcasing initiative developed by the BFC and curated by Stephen Webster, to nurture and support the creative fine jewellery talent based in Britain. Each season, the jewellers showcase their collections in a dedicated Rock Vault area in the Exhibition at London Fashion Week giving them the opportunity to further their businesses and increase exposure amongst UK and international media and retailers.
Caroline Rush, CEO of the BFC comments, "The Couture Show in Vegas is one of the best jewellery trade shows in the world and is a key sales destination for all jewellery brands. The fact that the Rock Vault designers are able to take part in the show at this early stage in their business development is a great opportunity for them. This trip wouldn't have been possible without support from UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) and Stephen Webster. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Stephen for his continuous support and enthusiasm for the initiative."
"Stephen Webster has now exhibited at Couture show, first in Phoenix then in the current home of Las Vegas, for fifteen years. Our brand has grown along with the show. Couture is without question the only true luxury jewellery event held in the US. We are excited and proud to be showcasing Rock Vault for the first time outside of the UK. Rock Vault will be situated within the Stephen Webster ballroom guaranteeing great exposure from the start. The enthusiasm from the retailers and the show its self has been immense." - Stephen Webster

The adverse effects of extreme space weather on modern technology--power grid outages, high-frequency communication blackouts, spacecraft anomalies--are well known and well documented, and the physical processes underlying space weather are also generally well understood. Less well documented and understood, however, are the potential economic and societal impacts of the disruption of critical technological systems by severe space weather.
As a first step toward determining the socioeconomic impacts of extreme space weather events and addressing the questions of space weather risk assessment and management, a public workshop was held in May 2008. The workshop brought together representatives of industry, the government, and academia to consider both direct and collateral effects of severe space weather events, the current state of the space weather services infrastructure in the United States, the needs of users of space weather data and services, and the ramifications of future technological developments for contemporary society's vulnerability to space weather. The workshop concluded with a discussion of un- or underexplored topics that would yield the greatest benefits in space weather risk management.
The United States is in the process of destroying its chemical weapons stockpile. In 1996, Congress mandated that DOD demonstrate and select alternative methods to incineration at the Blue Grass and Pueblo sites. The Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives (ACWA) program was setup to oversee the development of these methods, and pilot plants were established at both sites. One of the new technologies being developed at the Blue Grass pilot plant are metal parts treaters (MPTs) to be used for the empty metal munitions cases. During recent testing, some issues arose with the MPTs that caused the ACWA to request a review by the NRC to investigate and determine their causes. This book presents a discussion of the MPT system; an assessment of the MPT testing activities; an analysis of thermal testing, modeling, and predicted throughput of the MPT; and an examination of the applicability of munitions treatment units under development at Pueblo for the Blue Grass pilot plant.

App Review: Bebot – Robot Synth by Normalware
by Jeff on
February 19, 2009
Filed under Daily App Reviews, Music
Bebot is an ingenious music app. It basically turns your iPhone/iPod Touch into a synthesizer. You touch the screen to play notes (up to four at a time). The notes are arranged on the screen from left to right. At first glance, it may be difficult to tell where you need to touch for each note of the diatonic scale. However, there is a way to turn on a grid to mark the notes for you, making notes much easier to find. When you slide your finger horizontally on the screen, the pitch goes up and down. When you slide your fingers up or down on a given note, it changes the timbre (or roundness) of the pitch. To add to the audio effects, Bebot the robot reacts to the notes you play. He leans forward or backward depending on the pitch being played. He also opens and closes his mouth as if he were singing what you are playing.
By double tapping the arrow icon in bottom right hand corner of the screen, you can bring out the options bar, which presents you with a plethora of ways to change the sound the program produces. There are four wave modes to choose from: Bebot, Pulse, Theremin, and PWM (pulse with modulation). Each of these modes changes the basic sound of the notes. Once you have chosen which mode you would like, you can play around with the other effects.
In the effects category, there are four options you can change: echo volume, echo time, echo repeat, and overdrive. The echo volume determines how loud the echo of what you just previously played, plays back. The echo time is how long it will be before you hear the echo of what you just played. The echo repeat affects how many times the echo repeats itself. One of my favorite features on this app is the overdrive. The overdrive gives you the option to give your sounds a more rugged effect, just as you would turn up the overdrive on a guitar.
The next section in the options menu is the scales category. In the scales category you can change the pitch of the notes and zoom of the screen, as well as opt to show the notes grid mentioned earlier. You can also change the tuning effects and the scale being used. The pitch changes how high or low the pitch range of the notes on the screen will be. The zoom allows you to have more or less pitches on the screen at any given time. To get a larger range of pitches, make sure the zoom is low. The more you are zoomed in, the easier it is to accurately hit the notes you are going for, but there is less you can do because of limited pitches. The Note Grid is the option to show the lines where each note is located. There are three colors of lines: Yellow, Black, and White. These colors denote specific notes (C, D, E, etc.) in the diatonic scale. AutoTune is the feature that lets you decide how the synthesizer moves from one note to another when you drag your finger horizontally over the pitches. There are four options, the first of which is no auto tuning or "off." Snap tuning makes the synthesizer jump from one pitch to the next. When fast tuning is selected, the synthesizer will slide from one note to the next quickly. Slow tuning is very similar to the fast tuning in that it still slides from one pitch to the next, but will arrive at the next pitch more slowly. Once you have arrived at the desired pitch, you can even add vibrato by wiggling your finger ever so slightly. At the bottom of the scales section there are 12 squares that represent all 12 notes within a one octave range in the same arrangement you are used to seeing on a piano. By tapping on the squares, you can turn off some notes and leave others on. This is great when there are notes that you know you will not be using (ie. using a pentatonic scale).
One great feature of this app is the ability to play along with a song of your choice from the collection on your iPhone/iPod. Just double tap the start-up button and press play. See if you can play along with the song accurately, harmonize, or just add a little Bebot.
A quick word of advice: When you first launch the app, Bebot may be little confusing. At least for me it was. After a quick visit to Normalware's website (www.normalware.com), though, all was quickly explained in the videos they have posted there. (If you are having trouble figuring it out, I highly recommend giving their site a visit.) You can also see the octave feature, which should be coming out soon.
Bebot is a great app whether you just want to watch a robot make funny noises or you are a real musician and you want to jam on a synthesizer.
Bebot is available in the iTunes App Store for $1.99

The information above is only a generalized description of burglary at single-family house construction sites. You must combine these basic facts with a more specific understanding of your local problem if you hope to design an effective remedial strategy.
In addition to criminal justice agencies, the following entities have an interest in thwarting burglaries at single-family house construction sites and ought to be considered in connection with your information-gathering and problem-solving efforts:
The following methods will likely be helpful in analyzing the problem of burglaries at single-family house construction sites.
Police reports will provide a first look at your local problem. However, it can sometimes be difficult to identify burglaries that occur at construction sites,[24] because reports of interest might be classified as theft, vandalism, or criminal damage to property, depending upon local statutory requirements and reporting protocols. Moreover, your records system may make it difficult to separate offenses occurring at single-family house construction sites from those occurring elsewhere. If standard reports do not capture the information you need, ask investigating officers to collect additional information when they make their initial police reports; for example, you might ask them to note whether there were any neighboring residences or what stage of construction the house had reached when it was burgled.
Visiting and observing single-family house construction sites can help you understand the construction practices and environmental features that contribute to the burglary problem.
Because construction site burglary is typically concentrated geographically, crime mapping can be a particularly useful analytical tool. Construction site burglary patterns that detail the method of the crime, time of day, day of week, type of property stolen, and any other important characteristics can inform patrol officers, builders, inspectors, neighborhood watches, and homeowners of recent activity in a particular area and encourage them to be on the alert for suspicious behavior.
Detectives and patrol officers often have undocumented knowledge about the crimes they have investigated. This information can often be elicited through personal interviews. For example, you might ask officers what they know about burglary operations they have observed or what measures they think might help in preventing burglaries.
Interviewing builders and contractors can be crucial, because many opportunities for construction site burglaries arise through site management and mismanagement. Understanding individual and industry reporting procedures, site supervisor responsibilities, crime prevention initiatives, the relationship between builders and subcontractors, and industry-wide views on crime and victimization will factor directly into understanding your local problem. In addition, such interviews will allow you to gather firsthand information on the efficacy of particular anticrime initiatives, such as the use of security guards and fencing, the initiation of reward programs, the utilization of burglary alarms and locking containers, and the delayed installation of appliances.[25] Interviews should not be done haphazardly; rather, key questions should be developed beforehand to facilitate the information-gathering process. The questions listed in the following section can provide direction for these interviews.
Local building inspectors and other government personnel may be able to provide information about municipal policies and regulations that directly affect burglary opportunities. They may also have insights into industry practices that are effective in preventing burglary.
There follow some critical questions you should ask when analyzing your local burglary problem. Your answers to these and other questions will help you choose the most appropriate set of responses later on.
The Port St. Lucie (Florida) Police Department developed a scale to rate the difficulty of each burglary. The scale took into account the amount of skill, the type of transportation, and the time necessary to complete the crime, as well as the accessibility of the stolen property within the site. For additional details, see Boba (2005).
Measurement will allow you to determine the degree to which your efforts have succeeded and may also suggest how your responses can be modified to produce the intended results. In order to determine how serious the problem is, you should first measure the extent of the problem before you implement responses; in that way, measuring the problem after responses have been implemented will allow you to determine whether your solutions have been effective. All measures should be implemented in both the target area and the surrounding areas. For more detailed guidance on measuring effectiveness, see Problem-Solving Tools Guide No. 1, Assessing Responses to Problems: An Introductory Guide for Police Problem-Solvers.
When evaluating a response, you should use measures that specifically reflect its impact. In that regard, it is important to remember that when a response is initially implemented the reporting of crime may rise because of an increased awareness of criminal activities and increased cooperation with police.
The following are potentially useful measures of the effectiveness of responses to burglary at single-family house construction sites.
The following criteria, although not necessarily indicative of a successful outcome, may indicate that your responses have had the intended effect.

It's getting hot in here!
Things got hot at PolitiFact Georgia, thanks to Josef Stalin, an aging stripper and a Cobb County school board member.
Some days, there was nary a whiff of burning pants in the newsroom air. Atlanta Police Chief George Turner and U.S. Rep. Tom Graves earned Trues on crime statistics and taxes, respectively.
It all changed when U.S. Rep. Paul Broun cranked up the heat with a False claim about President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Stalin. A Cobb County school board member made a weak claim about the school calendar.
Democrats earned a Pants on Fire for an ad that claimed seniors might have to find work mowing lawns or running lemonade stands to pay for Medicare because of Republicans. In one scenario, an elderly man resorted to stripping. Hot!

NHGRI Scientist Named 2004 President-Elect of American Society of Human Genetics
NHGRI Scientist Named 2004 President-Elect of American Society of Human Genetics
October 2002
BETHESDA, Md. - The American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) has selected Robert L. Nussbaum, M.D., of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) to serve as the group's president in 2004. Dr. Nussbaum is chief of both the Genetic Disease Research Branch and the Inherited Disease Research Branch in NHGRI's Division of Intramural Research.
"It comes as no surprise to me that the members of ASHG have selected Dr. Nussbaum as their President-Elect," said NHGRI Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. "Bob is a prominent leader in the field of human genetics and has made considerable contributions to identifying the genetic abnormalities and destructive mechanisms involved in Parkinson's disease and Lowe's Syndrome. ASHG will surely benefit from his leadership."
ASHG was founded in 1948 as the primary professional membership organization for human geneticists in the Americas. The nearly 8,000 members include researchers, academicians, clinicians, laboratory practice professionals, genetic counselors, nurses and others involved in or with a special interest in human genetics.
"The last few decades have been extremely exciting times for human geneticists," said Dr. Nussbaum. "The ASHG and its members have been at the forefront of these efforts. It is a tremendous honor and privilege to have been asked to lead the ASHG."
Dr. Nussbaum said that he and ASHG 2003 President David Valle, M.D., of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine's Institute of Genetic Medicine, plan to work closely together during the span of their tenures to strengthen ties with the genomic and gene therapy research communities.
As president-elect and president, Dr. Nussbaum also will provide leadership to ASHG and serve on its board of directors, which is responsible for managing the policies of the society. He also will serve on the ASHG's standing committees - such as the program committee, which plans the annual meeting.
ASHG holds an annual meeting, set this year in Baltimore, Oct. 15-19, and publishes the peer-reviewed American Journal of Human Genetics to facilitate the exchange of research findings among members. In addition, ASHG promotes genetics education among future genetics professionals and the public, and facilitates interactions between geneticists and other communities to inform and support responsible social and scientific policies.
"For my entire professional life," Dr. Nussbaum said, "the annual meeting has been a focal point for me where I can come together with other scientists and medical professionals interested in human genetics education and research to share ideas, research findings and policy initiatives."
Dr. Nussbaum earned his M.D. in 1975 from the Harvard University/Massachusetts Institute of Technology Joint Program in Health Sciences and Technology in Cambridge, Mass. From 1975 to 1978, he completed a residency in internal medicine at St. Louis' Washington University and at Barnes Hospital, also in St. Louis. He was a fellow in genetics at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston from 1978 to 1981. From 1981 to 1984, he was an assistant professor of medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and an associate with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), Chevy Chase, Md.
From 1984 to 1993, Dr. Nussbaum was an associate investigator with HHMI in the Department of Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. During this period, he was also a physician in the Division of Human Genetics at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Dr. Nussbaum came to NHGRI in 1993. In addition to his other roles at the institute, he is director of the Clinical Molecular Genetics Training Program, an executive faculty member of the Joint National Institutes of Health-Johns Hopkins University Genetic Counseling Training Program, and the project officer for the Center for Inherited Disease Research in Baltimore, a research center that analyzes common disorders caused by the actions of multiple genes and interactions with the environment.
Dr. Nussbaum served on the ASHG Program Committee from 1989 to 1992 (chair of the 1992 meeting), the Board of Directors from 1992 to 1996 and the Awards Committee from 1998 to 2001.
NHGRI is one of the 27 institutes and centers at the National Institutes of Health, which is an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The NHGRI Division of Intramural Research develops and implements technology to understand, diagnose and treat genomic and genetic diseases.

This year, the figures show that the cost of both onshore and offshore wind energy in 2012 compared more favourably against other sources than in 2011.
Calculating these results requires assimilating a mass of data to which complex calculations are applied. Our figures, which build on years of experience and research, take into consideration the cost of construction, finance, power production, maintenance, decommissioning and, for some energy sources, the cost of fuel.
Then there are many variables to apply to the results. Most significantly for wind power is the available wind speed and the percentage of output to rated capacity, or capacity factor, likely to be achieved at any given location. These variables create a wide range of potential wind-power generation costs per megawatt hour.
The result, therefore, is not simply one figure, but a complex and varied set of figures that can and does baffle the media. And as energy policy expert Tom Burke points out, people can find numbers anywhere to back up whatever argument they want to make.
Let's be clear about this: there is a very positive wind story here. It is not just that onshore wind generation costs are better comparatively. That is true, but to look into the detail, the lowest potential cost for onshore wind has changed little. Offshore, the change is more significant, and this can be attributed to falling installation costs. But already this message is becoming muddied.
A simpler way to tell the positive story about wind is to look at the changes in the costs of the other energies, particularly nuclear and gas. That is where the biggest changes have occurred in the past 12 months.
Nuclear generation costs are creeping up, largely because facilities are expensive to build and interest rates for the capital are on an upward trajectory. Wind too has construction costs to consider, but at about a quarter of the cost of constructing a nuclear plant, it is unlikely to fall prey to crippling and unplanned overrun costs.
Gas saw a rapid growth in the US through increased production of shale gas, which initially led to a price drop. In Europe, too, prices had dipped. However, this now seems to be changing, with a trend towards higher prices beginning to emerge - even in North America; leading to higher generation costs.
So, unlike nuclear and gas, wind generation cost offers certainty. And once the wind farm is built, the generation costs will not change.
There is no fuel to pay, no imports to negotiate. Just cost stability.
And that is a clear good news story for any energy supply.

Coinbase to Push Bitcoin From Commodity to Currency, With $25M From Investors
It's a big moment for Bitcoin.
With Coinbase Inc. raising $25 million from Andreessen Horowitz and others, it's not only the largest venture round on record for a Bitcoin startup–according to Dow Jones VentureSource it's actually more than all venture capital invested into all Bitcoin startups combined during the past 15 months–it also represents the beginning of a shift.
Along with bankrolling the usual employee growth and tech improvements, the startup's founders will use the infusion to expedite the evolution of Bitcoin from commodity to global currency.

Q. How closely do I need to follow the gluten-free diet? Will a little bit of gluten harm me?
Shelley Case, RD: The only treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten-free diet for life. Eliminating gluten will allow the villi in the small intestine to heal, resulting in improved absorption of nutrients. Over time, symptoms will resolve and you will begin to feel better. Damage to the small intestine can still occur if you eat gluten on a regular basis, even if you don't feel symptoms. The risk of long-term complications, including cancer of the gastrointestinal tract, is greatly reduced if the diet is followed closely.
But the question is: how strict do you need to be?
Response to gluten is highly variable among individuals with celiac disease so it is difficult to establish a safe threshold level. In a 2007 study, 49 adults with celiac disease following a strict gluten-free diet were challenged with 10 or 50 mg of gluten for three months. Those who were exposed to 50 mg of gluten a day had small but significant mucosal damage to the villi of the small intestine. One patient who was challenged with 10 mg of gluten a day developed symptoms. To put this in perspective, one slice of bread with wheat flour contains over 2,500 mg of gluten.
To help you limit your exposure to gluten:
- Read food labels every time you shop. Manufacturers sometimes change product formulations and what had been gluten-free previously may now include gluten-containing ingredients.
- Buy grains, flours and starches that are labeled "gluten-free" from companies that test their products for gluten.
- Be diligent in preventing cross-contamination when eating at home. Read my tips for keeping your kitchen gluten-safe.
- Be especially careful when eating out. Choose restaurants that have a gluten-free menu or are knowledgeable and willing to accommodate those with special dietary restrictions.
- Consult a registered dietitian with expertise in celiac disease who can review your diet and provide comprehensive and practical information about how to follow a strict gluten-free diet.
Shelley Case is a consulting dietitian and author of Gluten-Free Diet: A Comprehensive Resource Guide. She is on the advisory boards of the Canadian Celiac Association, the Celiac Disease Foundation and Gluten Intolerance Group.
Thank you for understanding that Shelley won't be able to answer every question received. The editors at Allergic Living highly recommend her book Gluten-Free Diet, a vital resource for those interested in celiac disease and living gluten-free.

Hi y'all, I just got a call for a uni interview (tomorrow) and I was wondering if all you uni types could give me a few pointers on what to expect, what to wear, how to act. All those things. I did try to use the search function to find some details but nothing is specific enough. Regards, Catalina Back to top Real RealityJoined: 10 Jan 2003Location: Seoul Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2003 6:33 pm Post subject: real Good luck. Have a positive experience. Did you see the discussion at the following link? http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/korea/viewtopic.php?t=5736 Foreign professors tend to be treated as hired hands, without academic standing, and lacking the possibility of career advancement or tenure. http://joongangdaily.joins.com/200206/14/200206142349223599900090109011.html My survival advice for convention interviews is: 1. Be prepared. Be sure that you have researched the school so that you have ascertained their needs and can direct your remarks to what they appear to need. This includes knowing who's on the staff, who teaches what and how territorial the place is. You don't want to outline a course that someone else is already very invested in teaching. I prepare a cram sheet for each interview that records my research for the job, my analysis of their needs, and the anticipated questions I'll need to address. It also includes the questions I want to ask them. 2. Strike fast. Try to establish your candidacy in the first 5 minutes of the interview. The standard pieces of advice for business interviews apply here, too. Look people in the eye. Answer questions succinctly. Have ready good snappy short and medium length answers to the standard questions. DO NOT drone on for 15 minutes 3. It's an old cliche, but try to relax and be yourself. Don't try to hide who you are. Be careful about creating different personas for different interviews at the convention. You will be seeing search committee members throughout the weekend and you need to remember who you are for each encounter. Believe in your skills and give it your best shot. 4. Dress distinctively (but don't violate too many conventions). After 2-3 days trapped in a hotel room interviewing, search committee members are completely fried or bored or both. It'll be hard to remember you if you looked and dressed like every other candidate. http://www.otal.umd.edu/~sies/jobadvice.html Having a Successful Job Interview http://www.sla.org/chapter/ctor/toolbox/career/success.htm Back to top The LemonJoined: 11 Jan 2003 Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2003 7:23 pm Post subject: Nice advice.

Sometimes people are just too stressed to get a job. Is there simply too much competition? Are there too many well-qualified applicants? Are there too few high quality position vacancies? I wish the best of luck and success to the people looking for a decent job. Strive to be happy during and after the search.

When a basketball team suffers its first loss after starting out the season with a 16-0 record, people are bound to be curious to see how that ballclub will react the next time it takes the court.
Following a 43-39 loss on January 23 to the girls of Archbishop Prendergast (whose school has merged with the former all-male Monsignor Bonner to create a particularly awkward moniker), Mount St. Joseph Academy looked shaky at the start of last Tuesday's tilt with visiting St. Basil's, but the host Magic caught up in the second quarter and went on to win, 40-31.
Most of the winners' offense came from seniors Steph Smith and Mary Jo Horgan, who registered 18 and 13 points, respectively. Juniors Bridget Higgins, Maddie Kohler and Cailin Schmeer each added three points as the Mount remained unbeaten in Catholic Academies competition, at 8-0.
While the Magic improved to 17-1 overall, St. Basil fell to 10-7 and saw its AACA record slip to 6-3. The Panthers also relied heavily on two scorers, receiving 26 of their 31 points from slashing guard Jackie Thompson (15) and from Jill Lynch (11), a forward who can shoot from distance. Three points from Annie Buckley and two from Annisa Flores filled in the scoresheet for the Jenkintown team.
In another league game five days earlier, a knee injury ended the season for MSJ sixth-man Kelsey Jones, a sophomore guard who gave the Magic a significant spark coming off the bench. It was immediately after this mishap in a meeting with Gwynedd Mercy that the loss to Prendie occurred.
"We played hard, but we didn't play well," recounted MSJ's Higgins. "We had sort of a defensive lapse. We were still undefeated in the league, so we just wanted to put that loss behind us and play better in the future."
The Magic had won at St. Basil, 41-25, back in mid-December, and the Panthers were blown out by Villa Maria, 45-22, in the first week of January. After that, St. Basil's prospects began to improve with an upset win against Nazareth, which at one time was considered the top challenger to the Mount for the Catholic Academies championship.
"You can't overlook the fact that we have two key injuries, because we'd be a different team with those two girls," pointed out Panthers coach Terry Mancini. "But now I think some of the younger girls have gained some experience, and they've learned their roles and what we need to do to win."
Higgins noted that the Magic's defensive lapses against Prendie seemed to carry over into the beginning of the St. Basil game. The Mount's half-court defense was not as tight as usual, and the Panthers romped to a 9-1 lead in a little over four minutes. Grabbing a pass from Higgins, Smith laid in the Magic's first field goal of the game with two minutes left in the opening quarter, and the tally was 12-6 at the end of the period.
A drive at the start of the second round put the visitors up 14-6 and gave Thompson six points in the game, but the SBA senior was shut out for the rest of the first half. A three-pointer by Horgan and inside strikes by Smith and Higgins led the hosts on an 11-0 run, then the Panthers' Lynch launched a "three" in the final minute, forging a 17-17 tie for the intermission.
As the teams progressed through the third period and into the fourth, the Magic went ahead again, but could not make a clean break with St. Basil. Three-point field goals by Horgan and Kohler were matched by Lynch and Thompson of the Panthers, and with four minutes remaining in the game, the Magic held just a one-point edge, 31-30.
After sinking the second of two free throws, MSJ's Smith scored off a rebound and then bagged a medium-range jump shot. Just before her second field goal in this sequence, an illegal screen was called against the visitors' Buckley, giving her team a sixth foul in the second half.
St. Basil's Thompson missed a three-point lob, but at the other end of the court Horgan did not, upping the hosts lead to nine points (39-30) with 1:25 on the clock. This was the last field goal of the day, and one free throw for each team tacked the final score on the board.
Mount St. Joe could've collected as many as six points at the foul line in the closing minute, but only netted one point from three one-and-one's. With 29 seconds left the visitors waved the white flag and emptied their bench, and the Magic were back on the winning track.

Columbus replace Warzycha with Bliss
Brian Bliss has been installed as Columbus Crew interim head coach after the MLS side parted company with Robert Warzycha.
The decision to dispense with the 50-year-old ends Warzycha's long-standing association with the Crew, having spent 18 years with the club as a player and coach.
The Crew are currently eighth in the Eastern Conference and have lost seven of their last 10 games, prompting chairman Anthony Precourt to turn to Bliss to turn the team's fortunes around.
Bliss, Crew's technical director, has been set the target of steering the club into the MLS Cup play-offs in the remaining games of this season.
A statement from Precourt read: "I have been intently following this team since mid-April when we decided to explore the possibility of acquiring the Crew.
"When we came to the conclusion that we were not going to retain Robert beyond this season, it was apparent that we needed to make this change now so that we can refocus the club around Brian's leadership for the remainder of this season, as well as get the process started on finding a new head coach."
He added: "I know it's going to change the team dynamic. It's going to be a different voice. It's going to be a different perspective.
"I'm hoping and I'm very optimistic that this is going to spark the team and that we're going to make a run at the play-offs and try to get in this year."
Warzycha was promoted to the role of head coach in 2009 having previously been an assistant coach.
Bliss, a former Crew player, has held coaching positions at Kansas City Wizards and Connecticut Wolves.
