As we suspected in our last post many of the net new jobs created during the entire tenure of the Obama administration have been low quality and in areas of low pay. a/ Table 1 illustrates this point as temporary help services ranks number in jobs creation followed by food services & drinking places – i.e., waiters and bartenders.
The 1.1 million new jobs in these two industries represent almost 30 percent of the positive change in payrolls since January 2009. It also fits a trend which Steven Greenhouse of the NY Times wrote about last week,
"Over the past two decades, many major retailers went from a quotient of 70 to 80 percent full-time to at least 70 percent part-time across the industry," said Burt P. Flickinger III, managing director of the Strategic Resource Group, a retail consulting firm.
No one has collected detailed data on part-time workers at the nation's major retailers. However, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has found that the retail and wholesale sector, with a total of 18.6 million jobs, has cut a million full-time jobs since 2006, while adding more than 500,000 part-time jobs.
Table 2 shows that construction workers, mainly specialty trade contractors, such as plumbers and electricians have been hammered over the past four years. We've posted in depth analysis on this sector and it was good to finally see a positive print of 17K in Friday's jobs numbers. Hopefully it's the beginning of a trend. Fingers crossed.
Table 2 also shows that state and local government workers have fared poorly, including teachers. Also interesting in the data are the loss of 107k jobs in printing and 101K in publishing, which we suspect are related to technological innovation. All these lost jobs have been in relatively high paying industries.
The upshot? To understand what has happened to the American middle class go no further than the data in Table 2.
a/ This includes both jobs lost earlier in the term and jobs created over the past two years (see last chart).

There is a hard limit when querying a live 5800 system or hive on the combined size of query parameters and literal values that can be processed in one query. The limit is slightly over 8000 bytes. The query string itself does not count against this limit, just the parameter and literal values in the query.
Each additional parameter or literal in the query contributes 2 bytes of overhead plus the number of bytes to represent the query value. For this calculation, each date or time value consumes 4 bytes. Each long, double, or timestamp value consumes 8 bytes. A binary or char field consumes the same number of bytes as the length of the value. A string value consumes twice as many bytes as the length of the value. These sizes are similar to what is described in the Sun StorageTek 5800 System Administration Guide, Table 7-6, Number of Bytes Used by Each Element Type in a Schema Table.
For example, assume dynamic parameter 1 is bound to string "Hello" in the query system.test.type_string=?. The parameter length would then be 12 bytes: 2 bytes overhead plus 10 bytes for a 5-character string parameter.
Conversely, note that in the query system.test.type_string like '%Hello%' that the parameter is 16 bytes: 2 bytes overhead plus 14 bytes for a 7 character string regardless of the declared size of the system.test.type_string field in the schema.
For the query system.test.type_date = {date '2007-01-1'} AND system.test.type_char='Hello', the parameter length is 13 bytes: 2 bytes overhead for each of two query values plus 4 bytes for a date literal plus 5 bytes for a 5-character char parameter.

A hepatobiliary (HIDA) scan is an imaging procedure used to diagnose problems in the liver, gallbladder and bile ducts.
In the HIDA scan, a radioactive chemical or tracer is injected into a vein in your arm.
The tracer is handled by the liver like bile. Bile is a fluid produced and excreted by your liver that helps your digestive system break down fats in the foods you eat. Bile is stored in your gallbladder and the gallbladder releases the bile when you eat a meal.
A special nuclear medicine scanner (gamma camera) tracks the flow of the tracer from your liver into your gallbladder and small intestine.
The name HIDA comes from an early tracer used for the scan, hydroxy iminodiacetic acid. More effective tracers are used today.
Cholescintigraphy, hepatobiliary scintigraphy are other names for a HIDA scan.

Isolated Leg Training (ILT) Indoors
Many cyclists do ILT work in the winter and on an indoor trainer. The workout helps reduce or eliminate any dead spots out of your pedal stroke. One common workout example is to do a warm-up, then with light resistance on an indoor trainer, do 100 percent of the work with one leg while the other leg is resting on a stool.
The bottom of the stroke is similar to the motion of scraping mud off the bottom of your shoe. The top of the stroke can be improved by driving your toes and knees forward. In all positions, keep your toes relaxed. Do not allow them to curl up and clinch the bottom of your shoe. The aim is to be smooth and keep power applied during as much of each revolution as possible.
Begin with 20 or 30 seconds per leg and build up to 60 seconds per leg. After doing one set with each leg, spin with both legs for some 2 to 4 minutes before starting the ILT work again.
Start with a cumulative time of 3 to 5 minutes on each leg within the workout and build time as you become stronger. Be sure to stop pedaling and change legs or spin with both legs when your form becomes sloppy or jerky. Do not worry about achieving any particular heart rate--smooth pedaling form is most important.
Once you're efficiently making smooth circles on the trainer in a normal setup, you can put blocks under your front wheel to simulate hill climbing. Build the time you are able to complete ILT drills on hills.
More: The Truth About Indoor Cycling Cadence
ILT Work Outdoors
After achieving good form doing ILT work on an indoor trainer, move outdoors to a flat course. One method of doing ILT work outdoors is by relaxing and unweighting one leg while the other leg does 90 percent of the work. (The unweighted leg stays clipped in.)
A second method is to pull the non-working leg out of the pedal and allow it to hang about 6 to 12 inches away from the bike. In either case, use a gear combination that allows you to keep force on the pedal for the majority of the pedal stroke.
Be sure to change legs when fatigue sets in, or set a specific time interval to prevent excess fatigue. Again, correct form is most important. Similar to doing the drill indoors, work your way up to an interval of 30 to 60 seconds per leg. After doing a work segment with each leg, spin easy with both legs for a minute or two and then return to single leg work.
Finally, when you've achieved what you consider to be a good skill level at ILT work on a flat course, try the drill on a slight uphill. Of course it is most challenging when the non-working leg is removed from the pedal.
Why Do ILT Work on Hills?
At least one study1 concluded that cycling uphill decreases gross efficiency and is associated with changes in pedaling technique. If you train your legs to be as efficient as possible going uphill, of course it only helps your cause of increasing speed.
By practicing good pedaling technique and making a conscious effort to keep power to the pedals, I'm willing to bet your overall cycling speed will begin to increase. With foundation skills nailed, you can begin adjusting volume and intensity to make even more gains.
In no time you'll be one of those people gliding along at higher speeds, with less effort.

Thomas Hardy
manuscript for Jude the Obscure
Britain, 1895
The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge
MS 1-1911, p. 1 of the original manuscript
Preparing to write about Thomas Hardy led me to the Fitzwilliam Museum, where the manuscript of Jude the Obscure is held, bound in leather and marked 'Given in October 1911'. It is not a complete manuscript, since about 50 pages are missing. My impression is that they are all passages or episodes that might cause trouble, and it would be interesting to know in what circumstances they were removed from the manuscript during the sixteen years between 1895 when Hardy completed his work and the gift of the manuscript. Presumably whoever removed them also destroyed them; and since Jude was the first of Hardy's novels not to be shown to and discussed with his wife Emma during its composition, and that what she saw as its attacks on marriage and religion upset her, it seems possible that she may have been the culprit.
It is written on ruled paper about 10 x 7 inches, in ink, in Hardy's regular and legible hand. The chapters are numbered in Roman numerals and there is no division into parts. Each chapter follows straight on, on the same page as the previous one - no waste of paper. Some of the various titles Hardy considered are given, with Jude the Obscure at the top and four others below, The Simpletons, Last & First, Hearts Insurgent and Dreamers [illegible]. You can see the changes Hardy made to the names of the characters - Jude started as Jack - and how Jude's cousin Sue was at first said to have been adopted as a child by 'the Provost, Cloister College, Christminster', where Jude wrote to her, although they had never met, asking for grammar books.
Acquiring literary manuscripts was the idea of Sydney Cockerell, one of the great directors of the museum. He visited Hardy for the first time in September 1911 and made such an impression on him that Hardy asked him to advise him on the distribution of almost all his manuscripts. The most surprising thing about this episode is that Cockerell had not at that point read any of Hardy's work. He soon remedied this and became a close and lifelong friend of Hardy, who appointed him his literary executor. Cockerell's diary describes many visits to Hardy at Max Gate, and also Hardy's visits to Cambridge, where he was given an honorary doctorate in 1913.
Claire Tomalin FRSL (b. 1933)
Born in London in 1933, Claire Tomalin, née Delavenay, was educated at Hitchin Girl's Grammar School, Dartington Hall School and Newnham College, Cambridge. She then worked as a reader and editor for Heinemann, Hutchinson and Cape and subsequently as literary editor for the New Statesman magazine and the Sunday Times newspaper. Having encouraged young writers including Martin Amis and Julian Barnes, she herself published a major biography The Life and Death of Mary Wollstonecraft (Whitbread First Novel Award 1974) and a study of Shelley and his world, before leaving journalism in 1986 to become a full-time writer.
A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature since 1974 and Vice-President of English PEN since 1997, Tomalin has focussed most of her biographical work on remarkable women: the feminist thinker Mary Wollstonecraft; the bisexual writer Katherine Mansfield; Nelly Ternan, the mistress of Charles Dickens; and the actress Dora Jordan, mother of ten illegitimate royal children. Her book The Invisible Woman: The Story of Nelly Ternan and Charles Dickens was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (for biography) in 1990 and the Hawthornden Prize and NCR Book Award for Non-Fiction in 1991. Her book Samuel Pepys: The Unequalled Self was Whitbread Book of the Year in 2002 and won the Samuel Pepys Award in 2003. Tomalin is Honorary Fellow of Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge, and Newnham College, Cambridge. She is also Honorary Member of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and was awarded an honorary Litt.D. by Cambridge University in 2007.
The mother of one son and two daughters, Tomalin lost her first husband, the prominent journalist Nicholas Tomalin, in the Yom Kippur War in 1973. She is now married to the novelist, playwright and translator Michael Frayn. In 2002, Tomalin and her husband were short-listed for the Whitbread Book of the Year award; while Tomalin won, her husband was accorded the best novel award for his wartime coming-of-age book Spies. Claire Tomalin and Michael Frayn live in London.

It was 1970 in Alexandria, MN where Dawn Gutzman first met John Schenk. With education in mind they began their post-secondary education at Alex Tech where John majored in Computer Programming and Dawn in Accounting.
They both served on the Student Senate and were very active in college. John started both years for the Alexandria Norsemen basketball team (they won the state championship both years!) and Dawn became involved in the Alex Tech athletics through planning schedules, recording stats, and keeping scores.
After graduating college, they married and moved to Omaha, NE where John served four years in the US Air Force as a computer programmer and Dawn worked at a bank. In 1975 they moved to St. Cloud where both worked many years for Fingerhut Corporation.
Unable to have children, they decided to change their priorities… to retire at a younger age and enjoy their life, from volunteering to following their favorite sports teams.
In appreciation of their education and opportunities at Alex Tech and to honor their time here, they decided to "pay it forward" by establishing the John & Dawn Schenk Honorary Scholarship.

Cannes BFFs and Salma's bitchface
Gael Garcia Bernal is a jury member this year. His bestie Diego Luna is presenting a film. So of course they're inseparable. And of course it's adorable to see them truly enjoying being around each other. The crowd went wild when they arrived together on Friday night with the two young stars of Diego's movie perhaps the next version of themselves.
If you've seen Y Tu Mama Tambien and Rudy y Cursi and followed them through the years, I'm sure you know. You are either a GGB or a Diego. Me I'm a Diego. All the way Diego.
As for Salma...
I wish I could have flipcammed her sh-t for you and we could watch it back together over and over. It's like Julia Roberts and WHO's NATALIE???????
Friday night in Cannes, Salma was epic. Cannes is a busy carpet because there are usually several films screening at the same time and they share arrivals. Which means they hustle them along, yes, even the famous people. Because it's not a long stretch either. With only so much room, they can't stand there for half an hour and work every pose in their books.
This is a problem when Salma wants to greet her friends. For Salma, the carpet is her living room. She can stay there for as long as she wants. Arriving with Francois-Henri Pinault, always slightly behind her, Salma made a huge motherf-cking production of greeting GGB and Diego like mamma's come home to her boys. Then it was time for photos. And then she was holding sh-t up. So they tried to hurry her along. Oh no. You don't hurry Salma. Not unless you want the Salma bitchface. And she gave it to them. Along with some choice words. And she waved her hand at her man to make him lay down a few choice words too. Discreetly of course. Salma has an amazing ability to cause a contained scene. It's actually a very remarkable skill.
Unfortunately not even she can take down an entire carpet. So she made her way up the stairs. But she was still pissed by the time she came into the theatre, shaking her head, stalking ahead of Francois, flapping her hands at a handler. I wanted to throw myself in her way just to have her step all over my back. It would have made her feel better. That bitch is everything you want her to be.

Lesson 153
Parts of the Sentence - Adjectives
Adjectives modify or affect the meaning of nouns and pronouns and tell us which, whose, what kind, and how many about the nouns or pronouns they modify. They come before the noun or pronoun they modify except for the predicate adjective which comes after a linking verb and modifies the subject.
Examples of adjectives:
The big brown bear grabbed the scared small man.
(The, big, and brown modify the subject bear and the, scared, and small modify the direct object man)
Examples of predicate adjectives:
The big bear is brown. The brown bear was big.
(brown and big come after the linking verbs is and was and modify the subject bear)
There are seven (7) words in the English language that are always adjectives. They are the articles a, an, and the and the possessives my, our, your, and their. (The possessives are from the possessive pronoun list but are always used with nouns as adjectives.) Being only seven in number, one should memorize them so they are immediately recognized as adjectives.
Adjectives used often that point out whose are possessive pronouns my, your, our, his, her, their, its and possessive nouns like Joe's, Pete's, etc.
Instructions: Find the adjectives that tell whose in these sentences and tell what they modify.
1. Badger's bark is my signal for food.
- Badger's modifies bark
- my modifies signal
2. The sky's clouds are our shade trees.
- sky's modifies clouds
- our modifies trees
3. Alaina's brother is also Pam's son.
- Alaina's modifies brother
- Pam's modifies son
4. Their hope was our arrival in time.
- Their modifies hope
- our modifies arrival
5. Her hair was a spider's web.
- Her modifies hair
- spider's modifies web

Just a Little Jet-Lagged, Help Me Welcome Back Australian Author Sylvia Massara
MA: I'm delighted to welcome back to Mike Angley's Blog, Sylvia Massara. Sylvia first guested with me on September 3, 2010, and you can go back and read her original post here: All the Way from Australia Comes Romantic Comedy Author, Sylvia Massara to Guest with Mike Angley
I won't repeat her biography here, but you can find it at the link above, or visit her website for even more information about her: www.sylviamassara.com
MA: Tell me again what you did before becoming a writer.
SM: Prior to embarking on my writing career, I spent many years in the corporate world being a HR Manager, a Trainer/Lecturer, and most recently I started a business, Tudor Writing Services, where I provide proofreading/editing/website and social media services. Having said this, my true love has always been acting. I can remember wanting to be an actress since the age of 5. I was in lots of school productions, and later in amateur theatre. I also did a stint (when I was in between jobs) as an extra in some Aussie soapies, where I rubbed shoulders with actresses such as Melissa George and Isla Fisher, whom I believe made a bit of a name for themselves in the US. I was also in TV commercials and a couple of documentaries.
MA: You are a self-proclaimed day dreamer…is that one of your fiction influences?
SM: Well, I always lived my life in what you might call a 'world of make believe'. Even now I do this. Ever since I can remember I always caught myself day dreaming; and I usually run several plots through my head at any given time. So I guess it was natural for me to progress to a career as a writer. I've been writing since I was a teenager and always loved it. Besides, you can write till you're 90, whereas an acting career may not last that long.
MA: The last time you visited with me, you talked about your novel, The Other Boyfriend (which my daughter thoroughly enjoyed, by the way!). What are you here to tell us about today?
SM: The Soul Bearers is a rather spiritual story which deals with courage, friendship and unconditional love. It was partly inspired by true life events. In terms of genre, I guess you could put it under 'literary fiction' 'mainstream drama', not sure where, but it does make a good read and you better have those tissues handy.
A bit more about the story: The story involves three people whose lives cross for a short period of time, and the profound effect which results from their interaction. Alex Dorian, freelance travel writer, and a survivor of severe child abuse, arrives in Sydney in an attempt to exorcise the ghosts of her past. She shares a house with Steve and the disturbing Matthew, a homosexual couple. Alex finds herself inexplicably attracted to Matthew and must battle with her repressed sexuality and her fear of intimacy.
I believe readers of The Soul Bearers will come away with a deeper understanding of human relationships and of what it means to truly love without condition.
MA: You did something interesting with your characters in this new book. Tell us about that.
SM: There are three main characters, and the story is told through their respective points of view. Even smaller characters have their point of view. This makes the story more intricate as we see the events develop through all the characters, but mainly the main three, being Alex, Steve and Matthew.
You ask how I developed the characters and all I can say is that in terms of the gay couple it wasn't so difficult. Having come from a hospitality background, I made lots of friends who were gay and I socialized with many of them. So I knew what their way of life was like. For, Alex, it was a little more difficult as she is the victim of sexual abuse. I also have a good friend who was unfortunate enough to have been a victim of sexual abuse as a child and from what I learned through her, and my own research, I came up with Alex.
MA: Are your characters larger than life or are they flawed like us all?
SM: All my characters are flawed; even the very spiritual and wise, Steve. They all have something to learn and something to give to each other. But I guess Steve comes out as the strongest. He's facing imminent death from AIDS and his only concern is that he leave his partner well provided for, both emotionally and financially. And he manages to do this through Alex (that is, the emotional part of it). I can't say that Steve has any real weaknesses, except that he likes to 'arrange' the lives of others in some way.
Alex is strong in that she managed to survive her childhood ordeal and carved out a life for herself. But she must still face the ghosts of her past and fear holds her back from many an opportunity for growth. The same thing applies to Matthew, but in a different way; he's living with the rejection of his parents, his partner's illness and his fear of what the future will bring. Matthew is not so much strong as he is chivalrous and protective of those he loves.
MA: I suspect you don't have a traditional antagonist in The Soul Bearers, and that perhaps life itself is the "bad guy."
SM: There is no bad guy per se, but there are bad people in the past of all three characters. There is Alex's stepfather, who sexually abused her; her mother, who lived in denial of it; then you have Matthew's parents and their rejection of the only son they have. So you could say these people are the bad guys.
MA: What comes after this latest release? Are you working on anything new?
SM: I will turn back to more lighthearted novels; and I plan another 'chick lit' story, but this one will probably be a series featuring the same heroine.
MA: I believe you have a book trailer for your newest release. Where can people find it?
SM: For more on The Soul Bearers check out my website and blog (www.sylviamassara.com). There is a video I posted there that tells you a little bit about the story. The book released in September 2010 and is available in ebook format through Amazon and Smashwords, and sometime in the next couple of months it will be made available in paperback. Read More

White Papers and Application Notes
3D Simulations of an Injection Test Done Into an Unsaturated Porous and Fractured LimestoneA. Thoraval[1], Y. Guglielmi[2], F. Cappa[3]
[1]INERIS, Nancy, France
[2]CEREGE, Aix-en-Provence, France
[3]GEOAZUR, Valbonne, France
We have developed a numerical model to represent the effect of injection test in unsaturated porous and fractured rock mass. The test was conducted at the LSBB (Laboratoire Souterrain à Bas Bruit) site close to Rustrel, Vaucluse, France in the field of the French ANR project called "HPPP-CO2". The results underline the impact of fractures on the hydro-mechanical response of the rock-mass. Indeed fractures allow a faster dissipation of the water pressures and stress variations induced by the water injection. Back analysis lead us to also estimate the rock mass intrinsic permeability and compressibility of the injected layer.

Letter to the Senate on the Voter Empowerment Act of 2013
June 25, 2013
Dear Senator:
On behalf of the more than three million members of the National Education Association (NEA), we urge you to support and co-sponsor the Voter Empowerment Act of 2013 (S. 123) by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). This legislation is more important than ever following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Shelby County v. Holder, which struck down a core element of the Voting Rights Act, our nation's most successful civil rights law.
NEA believes the right to vote, and to have one's vote counted, is the most basic tenet of a democratic society. The Voting Rights Act—enacted it in response to persistent and purposeful discrimination through literacy tests, poll taxes, intimidation, threats, and violence—has had remarkable success in ensuring access to the voting booth. For millions of racial, ethnic, and language minority citizens, it has eliminated discriminatory practices and removed other barriers to political participation.
Yet, despite these successes, it is clear that inequities, disparities, and obstacles remain for far too many minority voters. Voter suppression and intimidation are still very much alive in our nation. In recent years, especially during the 2012 presidential election campaign, we have seen a deeply troubling increase in misleading and fraudulent information about elections, voter intimidation, and robocalls designed to suppress the vote guaranteed every citizen by the U.S. Constitution. In addition, we have seen an unprecedented number of anti-voter initiatives in state legislatures—proposals and laws enacted that require photo identification, eliminate same-day registration, shrink early voting windows, change student voting requirements, and make it hard for people to vote in other ways.
The Voter Empowerment Act of 2013 would open access to the ballot box through system modernization and simplification, ensuring the integrity of the voting process, and protecting the accountability of results. It also includes steps critical to enabling all citizens to exercise their constitutional right to vote such as same-day registration, alleviating burdens for people with disabilities, training for poll workers, protecting against deceptive practices and intimidation, and establishing a national hotline for voting-related issues.
NEA is working aggressively to call attention to and combat initiatives and practices that deny or restrict the right to vote. We urge you to support and co-sponsor the Voter Empowerment Act of 2013 to help ensure fair and open elections across our nation.
Mary Kusler
Director of Government Relations

Though the number of animal rights activists in Taiwan is increasing, few can match the Environment and Animal Society of Taiwan (EAST) in its efforts to care not only for common pets like cats and dogs, but to protect the rights and welfare of all types of animals.
The EAST's accomplishments include promoting the passage of humane livestock slaughter legislation, better management of animal breeding and marketing, making documentaries on controversial issues such as Hong Kong's fur trade and how "divine pigs" (神豬) used in religious rituals are fattened up and abused.
All these efforts have been attributed to the dedication of the group's founder and executive director, Chu Tseng-hung (朱增宏), also known by his Buddhist name, Wu Hung.
Chu has spent some time as a monk, before deciding to return to secular life. Though he sidestepped the question of why he left the order, citing privacy, Chu was eloquent when speaking about his experience in getting involved in the animal rights movement.
"My master said that the issue needed more promotion, so I, along with some lawyers, entrepreneurs and teachers, started the Life Conservationalist Association, an organization whose members consisted mainly of Buddhist followers," Chu said in a recent interview.
To better understand social activism, Chu also completed a master's program at Shih Hsin University's Graduate Institute for Social Transformation Studies.
The association was a major proponent of the movement that led to the passage of the Animal Protection Act (動物保護法) in 1998, with the group launching a petition that collected more than 100,000 signatures in support of the act.
Chu worked as the association's secretary-general for six years before he left and founded the EAST, an organization mainly concerned with the protection of "economic animals," such as pigs, cows, sheep, chickens and ducks.
The protection of these animals is easily overlooked because they are mainly raised for economic gain, Chu said, adding that it was hard because it meant changing human eating habits.
While Chu places a high value on being vegetarian, he realizes that it is difficult to ask others to completely change their eating habits, so he chose to focus on promoting a more humane way of slaughtering livestock.
"The way pigs were killed for their meat was very cruel as the butcher would simply slash the pig's throat. The pig would be in great pain until it bled dry, or placed in boiling water while it was still bleeding," Chu said.
Cows were also butchered by using axes, he added.
"These animals also feel pain, just as a human being would," Chu said.
However, Chu was aware that moral preaching would accomplish nothing, so he and four group members spent three years conducting field research.
They visited slaughterhouses across the nation and compiled reports on the transportation and killing of animals.
The EAST's efforts drew the attention of the media. Subsequent media reports sparked a public call for action, putting pressure on the government to implement changes.
Though it took seven years, Chu and the EAST finally persuaded the government to establish more humane standards, such as mandating that pigs and cows either be shot, or butchered after they are rendered unconscious through electrocution.
However, the group's work does not end there, Chu said.

Sacha Baron Cohen won't be channeling Freddie Mercury any time soon.
The 41-year-old actor has dropped out of playing the Queen frontman in an upcoming Freddie Mercury biopic, Cohen's reps confirm to E! News. Isla Fischer's other half left the project due to creative differences.
News that Cohen had been cast as Mercury for the Queen film broke all the way back in September 2010, but the project has yet to get off the ground. The flick would potentially be directed by "Les Miserables" director Tom Hooper.
U.S. & World
According to Deadline, Cohen pulled out from the rock star role because he wasn't seeing eye to eye with Queen's remaining bandmembers who have approval over the movie's script and director. Cohen reportedly wanted to portray an edgier side of the late singer while the Queen bandmembers wanted a more PG-friendly film.
Katy Perry was once rumored to be getting a part in the biopic as one of Mercury's girlfriends, but the pop star shot down the casting reports last year in June. "There's been no formal offer," she told us of the film. "Although I do like the association and I like the company because I think Sacha Baron Cohen is hilarious."
Now, neither Perry nor Cohen will be rocking along to Queen hits like "We Are the Champions," "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "We Will Rock You," which will reportedly be performed in the flick.

The big rumor of the day is that The Kenyan Usurper is going to nominate wooden Senator John Kerry to be the new Secretary of Defense, and given how Wingnuttia has vowed to filibuster anyone in any position, and given how they treated him previously, I cannot imagine any problems, can you?
The idea of Kerry heading up DoD was also questioned by Republicans, who warned the selection of the Vietnam veteran-turned-critic wouldn't be simple either.
"He'll run into a buzz saw of Vietnam vets" if Obama taps Kerry for the Pentagon slot, a GOP aide said.

SAN DIEGO — When the Padres are in a position to win, they're bullpen all but assures a victory will be tucked away. The team has lost just once in 46 games when leading after the seventh inning.
Rockies relievers must be envious.
After Colorado seized the momentum in Monday night's series opener at Petco Park, the Rockies bullpen allowed it to slip away in a 4-3 loss in front of 28,591 that dropped the Rockies to 46-72, perilously close to a franchise-record 100-loss pace.
Texas' 7-0 loss to Tampa Bay on Monday is all that prevented the Rockies from having the worst record in the majors all to themselves.
"They came in and absolutely shut us down," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said of the Padres' pen. "There's no way around that. They took complete control of that game late."
Three Padres relievers combined to strike out the final seven hitters the Rockies sent to the plate.
"We've talked about all the things we need to do, two-strike approach, we've beat that drum all year," said Weiss.
PHOTOS: Colorado Rockies vs. San Diego Padres
Said Colorado outfielder Corey Dickerson: "They got a lead, the back of their bullpen's pretty good, they pounded the strike zone and we didn't put together any good at-bats.
What could they do to make the at-bats better? "That's hard to say right now," said Dickerson, who struck out to end the eighth inning. "Maybe be a little more aggressive? Be more patient? I really don't know right now."
It appeared it wouldn't come to that after Dickerson hit a three-run home run in the sixth inning off Padres starting pitcher Jesse Hahn to supply a 3-1 lead.
But the Rockies gave back one of the runs in the bottom of the sixth after Matt Belisle relieved starter Jordan Lyles.
Reliever Boone Logan (2-3) allowed a double to pinch hitter Abraham Almonte leading off the seventh. After a sacrifice bunt, Padres third baseman Yangervis Solarte connected for a two-run homer into the left field bleachers.
And that was that.
It wasted a solid effort by Lyles, who was making his second start since missing two months with a fractured left (non-pitching) hand.
"He put us in position to win the game, and that's all we're looking for," said Weiss. "He did a nice job."
Sitting on the bench before the game, Weiss mentioned how Lyles used his healing time productively, working on a new grip for his change-up.
"I think it's going to be a game-changer for him," said Weiss. "It's more of a split change. It's got some depth to it. I really think it's going to change him as a pitcher, take him to the next level."
Lyles did throw some effective change-ups, but he pitched himself into and out of a predicament in the first inning.
He walked leadoff hitter Will Venable, then erased him on a double-play grounder to shortstop. Lyles has averaged two walks per start this season, so when he walked two straight hitters —three for the inning — it earned a mound visit from pitching coach Jim Wright.
Lyles then struck out Jedd Gyorko to end the inning. He did not walk another batter over the next 4 1/3 innings.
Lyles didn't allow a hit until Padres first baseman Yonder Alonzo lined a 1-0 pitch just inside the right-field foul pole and beyond the right-field wall with one out in the fourth inning for the game's first run.
Lyles seemed shaken by the homer, then allowing a single to left-center by Gyorko and a booming double by Yasmani Grandal that short-hopped the wall in center. A perfect relay throw from Rockies center fielder Drew Stubbs to second baseman DJ LeMahieu to catcher Wilin Rosario cut down Gyorko at the plate and prevented further damage.
Lyles was lifted with one out in the sixth after Alonso lined his 101st pitch of the game into to center field for a single. Lyles allowed four hits and two runs with four strikeouts and three walks.
"It was a battle," said Lyles. "Too many walks in the first inning. Kind of settled down. … For the most part, too many three-ball counts, which is not a key for success. Not making it out of the sixth is not acceptable. I've got to do a better of pounding the strike zone."

Art House Cinema to Open in Vilnius
Photo: Katrīna Ģelze
While Tallinn's Museum of Architecture is showing an exhibition this summer devoted to the centenary of movie theatres, Vilnius is writing a new history. On August 24, alongside the opening of the XI Baltic Triennial of International Art, an art house cinema hall will begin operating in the CAC Contemporary Art Centre. CAC is the largest contemporary art centre in the Baltic States, thanks to its building, constructed in 1968 as the Art Exhibition Palace and home to the Centre since 1992. Since its beginnings, a small room on the second floor has served as a cinema. Although its' original function and equipment are long since lost, it has still been referred to colloquially as the 'cinema' for years, and video art is often exhibited here. For several tears, CAC Director Kestutis Kuizinas has had the thought of resurrecting the small cinema hall, and his wish is now close to coming true. Two Lithuanian artists-architects are working on the design - Audrius Bučas and Valdas Ozarinskas, who we will have the chance to get to know at the Cēsis Art Festival, opening this Friday, July 27. The Lithuanians will show a large-format environmental object – "Black Pillow".
The cinema is still under construction. It will open on August 24!
"The cinema is being designed as a work of art," explains project curator Ilona Jurkonytė. It will be built within the existing authentic space as a dark padded 'pod'. Along a wallpapered corridor, people will be led to the cinema hall with approximately 100 seats. During the Triennial, the newly opened cinema will be launched with a programmed of films curated by British Benjamin Cook, Director of the LUX moving image artists' centre in London. "Soviet-era speakers in full working order will be available, in order for the historical artefacts to have an authentic sound," Ilona Jurkonytė reveals. Vilnius has two other art-house cinemas. One of them is private and the other one belongs to the municipality and it's programming has a strong focus on film education. CAC Cinema will be the only cinema hall functioning in the contemporary art scene in Lithuania

Osama bin Laden's former driver is scheduled to stand trial on Monday in the first war crimes tribunal at America's terrorist prison camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
The historic action comes nearly seven years after President Bush first moved to establish military commissions to try suspected Al Qaeda terrorists.
The special military commission process was designed to offer a stripped-down version of justice to illegal enemy combatants who, by engaging in terrorism, were said to have forfeited any right to more robust legal protections.
"This is not a law enforcement action; it is war," former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said, defending the use of military commissions before a Senate panel in December 2001 – three months after the 9/11 attacks.
Military commissions have been used throughout US history. George Washington used them during the Revolution. Abraham Lincoln authorized them during the Civil War. And those accused of plotting President Lincoln's assassination were tried by a military commission.
In 1942, Franklin Roosevelt put a group of would-be German saboteurs on trial by secret military commission in Washington. The action was upheld by the US Supreme Court and provided a model for the Bush Administration.
But the Guantánamo commission process ran into trouble. It became a lightning rod for international criticism of the administration's controversial legal approach to the war on terror. President Bush's original commission procedures were struck down by the Supreme Court in 2005, and on June 12 the high court invalidated a substantial portion of a new legal regime created at Guantánamo by Congress and the White House in 2006.
Some legal analysts thought that ruling might scuttle plans to put the first of 20 detainees charged with war crimes on trial during the current election year and before President Bush leaves office in January. But last week, both a military judge at Guantánamo and a federal judge in Washington declined to apply the Supreme Court's ruling to pretrial attempts to block pending war crimes trials.
Despite his ruling, US District Judge James Robertson revealed a level of skepticism about the looming commission trials.
"The eyes of the world are on Guantanamo Bay," Judge Robertson wrote in an opinion released in Washington on Friday. "Justice must be done there, and must be seen to be done there, fairly and impartially."
That task falls to Military Judge Keith Allred, a US Navy captain, who has been appointed to preside over the first military commission trial.
The defendant, Salim Ahmed Hamdan of Yemen, is accused of conspiring with Al Qaeda leaders to murder American service members and providing material support to the terror group.
According to his lawyers, he was merely a driver for Osama bin Laden. They say he was an employee rather than a leader, member, or supporter of Al Qaeda.
It will be up to a panel of at least five US military officers to decide the case. Judge Allred will rule on procedural and legal issues and officiate over the introduction of testimony and evidence, but the verdict will come from the commission members.
Legal analysts familiar with the military justice system praise it for its fundamental fairness. But the special military commission that hears Mr. Hamdan's case will not be operating under the same procedures and legal protections available to American military personnel when they stand trial.
Allred can admit hearsay evidence if he believes it is accurate and reveals something important about Hamdan's activities. In contrast, hearsay is routinely excluded from American trials.
The Military Commissions Act of 2006 forbids the use of any evidence obtained through torture. But it permits the judge to admit hearsay evidence obtained from individuals subjected to coercive interrogation techniques – including, potentially, waterboarding, if the judge decides waterboarding is not torture.
Administration officials have defended this provision as necessary to protect sensitive intelligence sources and methods used in the war on terror.
In pretrial motions, Allred has ruled both for the government and against the government in important motions. In June 2007, he dismissed all charges against Hamdan, ruling that the military had failed to prove that Hamdan was an "unlawful" enemy combatant.
But in a new hearing, Allred decided that Hamdan was an unlawful enemy combatant and thus subject to trial by military commission.
In May, Allred ruled that the Pentagon was exerting improper command influence over the Hamdan trial. In an unusual move, he ordered the legal advisor to the Pentagon's Office of Military Commissions to cease any involvement in the case.
The ruling came after a public dispute between the official and the former chief military prosecutor at Guantánamo, Morris Davis, who said the legal advisor was interfering in the work of the prosecutors, instructing them to take aggressive and controversial actions in preparing cases. In addition, Allred has ordered the government to permit defense lawyers access to high-value detainees, including alleged 9/11 mastermind Khaled Shaikh Mohammed. Prosecutors have vigorously objected to the possibility that Mr. Mohammed might play a role in Hamdan's trial.
But defense lawyers counter that Mohammed and others held at Guantánamo should be permitted to testify about Hamdan's role in Al Qaeda – and whether he was merely a driver/employee or a dedicated jihadist.
The Hamdan case is being closely watched by legal observers.
In a report critical of the commission process, Amnesty International quotes an in-court statement made by Hamdan in April in which he complains that even though his lawyers have won many of their court battles, he was still facing trial.
"There is no such thing as justice here," he told Allred. "America tells the world about freedom and justice," he said, "Give me a just court ... give me my human rights."

Below is a typical Expanded Basic cable package*. Uncheck the networks you don't want and we'll calculate your new bill. Sadly, this is just a demonstration of "how cable should be" and won't reduce your real cable bill. We'll use your vote – the choices you voice here – to help educate the public and tell cable companies, programmers, and our public servants that bringing consumer choice to cable is a must!
*Cable companies and programmers do not reveal their contracted programming rates. The programming rates and distributor mark-ups presented are derived from the best publicly available information and, therefore, may not be entirely accurate. The data should not be presented as necessarily factual or accurate. Read more about Data Reliability.
Watch Bundling Bummer
Cable, Meet Choice. Choice, Meet Cable.
You should be able to choose and pay only for the cable channels you watch. Not a sports fan? Why should you have to pay over $80 per year for ESPN, ESPN2 and one -- or often more -- regional sports networks? Offended by Comedy Central, MTV, E! and SPIKE? Why should you have to fork over $30 per year for programming you can't abide?
Understanding the Racket
Let's start with the consolidated ownership of cable networks: 4 companies own the 10 networks with the highest programming fees; and, 6 mega-media companies own the 20 networks with the highest programming fees. Put differently, 6 companies pretty much rule Expanded Basic.

On Exhibit: Tentacles
Animal Facts
Scientific Name
Wunderpus photogenicus
Animal Type
small crustaceans and fishes
to 9 inches (23 cm); armspan to 16 inches (40 cm)
other octopuses, squid, cuttlefishes, and the chambered nautilus; Phylum: Mollusca; Class: Cephalopoda; Family: Octopodidae
shallow waters of Indo-Malayan Archipelago, extending from Vanuatu to Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Malaysia, north to the Philippines
Natural History
Named after the German word "wünder" meaning "marvel" or "wonder," the wunderpus has long, thin arms and spectacular patterns. It's a striking copper-brown color with dramatic white stripes and spots all over its smooth body. Its pattern is fixed but can change in hue and contrast.
This quick-change artist alters its color, shape and movements to mimic other sea animals as a warning display for potential predators. In a flash, the wunderpus can impersonate a venomous species, transforming its patterns into those of a lethal lionfish with poisonous spines or a sea snake.
The wunderpus is found on soft sediment habitats in shallow waters of Indo-Malayan Archipelago. It lives in the burrows of other animals or digs its own. This small species typically emerges at dusk and dawn to forage in the twilight, preying on small crustaceans, such as crabs, as well as fishes.
The wunderpus has arms five to seven times the length of its mantle, which are especially useful for hunting. It extends its long flared arms and webs over sand or coral rubble to trap its prey, or reaches into holes to probe and catch a meal.
This animal has small eyes on elongated stalks that are often raised, giving its head a Y-shaped appearance. The white spots on the head are unique to each animal, making it possible for biologists to identify and study individual animals.
The wunderpus is commercially important to underwater photographers, dive tourism and home aquarium trades. Because of the unique individual color patterns, biologists are able to use photo-identification to monitor individual animals in the wild. Little is known, however, of the life history and behavior of the wunderpus, as the species is relatively new to science—it was discovered in the 1980s and only officially described in 2006.
Cool Facts
It appears that this species is capable of dropping an arm when attacked, allowing the octopus to escape from predators. It's then able to regenerate the lost body part.
The wunderpus is frequently confused with the similarly colored and long-armed mimic octopus.

No matter how old I live to be, there will never be a place so full of mystery and adventure as a place of my childhood called The Woods.
The stories that grew out of those trees still kindle powerful feelings, even after all these years. My friends and I knew the place was haunted. It had no boundaries, and in our 10-year-old minds, it went on forever.
Jump ahead a few decades to a familiar topic: the commercialization of wilderness. What created the demand for such a cornucopia of sporting gear and planned "adventure activities?" There was a time when all a guy needed to go for a hike was a reasonably comfortable pair of shoes and an army surplus canteen. Now it requires a wardrobe and a gear checklist, just to walk to the corner. I recently stopped at a sporting goods store, looking for a canteen; the sales clerk looked at me blankly.
"You know," I said. "A canteen. A water bottle."
"Oh," he replied. "You mean a portable hydration system." Portable hydration system?
How did this happen? When the plethora of guidebooks flooded the recreation market and introduced eco-tourism 15 or so ago, I was puzzled by the need of so many adults to be told how to have fun outdoors. When I first looked at a canyoneering Web site, I noticed that the photographs of every tour and its paid participants revealed healthy young men and women who should have been able to walk the mile and a half required without adult supervision.
And then it occurred to me: These people had never done anything without adult supervision.
I thought about my niece and nephews, who, even 15 years ago, weren't allowed to go out and play in the neighborhood because the world was apparently a dangerous place. We were all at my parents' farm one winter, just after Christmas; it was a perfect 160-acre spread in Kentucky, with hay barns and spring-fed lakes and forests full of poison ivy and grape vines to swing from and limestone ledges loaded with fossils. It was a kids' paradise.
But my nephews and niece came to me and said, "We're BORED, Unca Jim," so I proposed that we go outside and explore. They thought that was a pretty dumb idea, but I made them go. I took them to the barn and taught them how to build forts out of hay bales. We walked to the pond and punched holes in the ice with big rocks. They thought all this was fun, but it had never occurred to them. And it occurred to me that it was late to discover random recreation. The poor kids, I thought. They have no idea what they've missed.
But I hadn't noticed, not being a parent myself, that almost all kids were like my little relatives. Now those kids are young adults and about to have families of their own, and they have no hope of passing along any of those free-spirited adventures that I was so blessed with as a child. To them, such stories are hearsay.
True to the American way, someone has been able to attach an affliction to this condition. It's in the title of a book by Richard Louv: "Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder." As writer Bradford McKee described the disorder in the New York Times, "The days of free-range childhood seem to be over. Parents can add a new worry to the list of things that make them feel inept: increasingly their children, as Woody Allen might say, are at two with nature."
Children who are obsessed with computer games, or driven from sport to sport, miss the restorative effects that come with the nimbler bodies and sharper senses that develop randomly running around in wild places.
Modern science will no doubt spend millions on research and development to produce a medication to cure this ailment, when all the afflicted really need is a walk in the woods. But the farther these "de-natured children" stray from a spontaneous natural experience, the less likely they are to ever discover a world that seems to me, impossible to live without.

I am writing a user-interface for a program that configures some things. Let's call them entries. To help the user keep track of what is left of configuration, a section such as the following is somewhere inside the UI:
Unconfigured entries:
- This
- That
Now, unconfigured is not recognized by the spell checker. Oxford dictionary doesn't have this word. and Wiktionary says of it:
unconfigure: To remove or undo a configuration.
Well, I wouldn't be referring to entries that have been un-configured, but, rather to those that have not yet been configured.
What term should I use instead of unconfigured? I insist on having the word configure in the phrase for the user to be able to link the unconfigured entries with the configure operation easily.
Because this is a computer program context (rather than a piece of expositional writing, for example), similarity of terms is preferred over absolute correctness.

Methysergide tablets
What are methysergide tablets?
METHYSERGIDE (Sansert®) is one of a group of medicines known as ergot alkaloids. Methysergide helps to prevent certain kinds of throbbing headaches such as migraine and cluster headaches. It is not helpful once the headache has started. Generic methysergide tablets are not available.
NOTE: This drug is discontinued in the United States.
What should my health care professional know before I take methysergide?
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
blood clots
chest pain
heart or blood vessel disease
heart valve problems
kidney disease
liver disease
lung disease
peptic ulcer
rheumatoid arthritis
systemic lupus (SLE)
tobacco smoker
an unusual or allergic reaction to methysergide, tartrazine dye, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
pregnant or trying to get pregnant
How should I take this medicine?
Take methysergide tablets by mouth. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Swallow the tablets with a drink of water. Take methysergide with food. Take your doses at regular intervals. Do not take your medicine more often than directed. Do not stop taking except on your prescriber's advice.
Contact your pediatrician or health care professional regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.
What if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, skip that dose. Return to your normal schedule. Do not take double or extra doses.
What drug(s) may interact with methysergide?
Do not use any of the following migraine drugs within 24 hours of this medicine: almotriptan, eletriptan, frovatriptan, naratriptan, rizatriptan, sumatriptan, or zolmitriptan. Also, do not use this drug with caffeine-ergotamine combinations (example: Cafergot®, Wigraine®); dihydroergotamine (DHE®, Migranal®); ergotamine (example: Ergomar®); ergonovine; or methylergonovine (Methergine®).
Methysergide may also interact with the following drugs:
antibiotics such as erythromycin, clarithromycin, and troleandomycin
antifungal drugs like fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole or voriconazole
ergoloid mesylates (Hydergine®)
herbal products like feverfew or guarana
grapefruit juice
imatinib, STI-571
medicines for colds, flu, or breathing difficulties
medicines for high blood pressure
medicines or herbal products to decrease weight or appetite
some medications for the treatment of HIV infection or AIDS
Tell your prescriber or health care professional about all other medicines you are taking, including nonprescription medicines, nutritional supplements, or herbal products. Also tell your prescriber or health care professional if you are a frequent user of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke, or if you use illegal drugs. These may affect the way your medicine works. Check with your health care professional before stopping or starting any of your medicines.
What should I watch for while taking methysergide?
Check with your prescriber or health care professional if you do not get relief from your headaches after the first 3 weeks.
It is important to tell your prescriber or health care professional as soon as you can if you get any of the following side effects: cold, numb, or painful hands or feet; leg cramps when walking; any type of pain around your chest, stomach or in your side.
Methysergide decreases the circulation of blood to your skin, fingers, and toes. You may get more sensitive to the cold. Elderly patients are more likely to feel this effect. Dress warmly and avoid long exposure to the cold.
You may get dizzy or drowsy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that requires mental alertness until you know how methysergide affects you. To reduce the risk of dizzy or fainting spells, do not stand or sit up quickly.
Alcohol can make headaches worse or bring on a new headache. Therefore, you should avoid alcoholic drinks. Because smoking can increase side effects of methysergide, you should avoid smoking.
After 6 months of treatment, you must give your body a 3 to 4 week rest period without methysergide. Before you stop taking this medicine you must gradually reduce the dose over 2 to 3 weeks so that you do not get a headache rebound effect. Ask your prescriber or health care professional for a schedule.
If you are going to have any type of surgery, tell your prescriber or health care professional that you are taking methysergide.
What side effects may I notice from taking methysergide?
Side effects that you should report to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as possible:
chest pain or tightness
cold hands or feet

Through the first 26 weeks of Surname Saturday posts, we named and discussed the surnames of my "round of thirty-two" (scroll down a bit) - back through 3rd great grandparents.
Now we are in the second week of sharing some of the "further back" surnames with which I have spent some time and done some research - some, like today, again, quite a bit, actually.
Today, we will look briefly at HEALEY, a common name in early Massachusetts. This is going back on my father's mother's line, PRESTON. Her father was James and her grandfather was William, The Old Sheriff. The father of William, the old sheriff was also William PRESTON (1755-1842) (and his wife, Elizabeth Cynthia LORD). His mother was Hannah HEALEY (1734-1812) who married William PRETON (1728-1804). This William was born in Beverly, MA, and died in Strafford, Orange Co, VT. Hannah HEALEY was born in Chester, NH, and died in Strafford, Orange Co, VT.
Hannah was the youngest daughter of William (1689/90-1771/2) HEALY and Mary (1690-?) SANBORN (we will look at SANBORN next Saturday!)
Families are Forever! ;-)
