Curmudgeon's Corner
cur-mud-geon: anyone who hates hypocrisy and pretense and has the temerity to say so; anyone with the habit of pointing out unpleasant facts in an engaging and humorous manner
The Second Term Has Begun
The second term of President Obama has begun even without the ceremony in January 2013, as it should if he is to accomplish all he has said he will accomplish. And the pushback has begun as the result.
It seems that politicians of differing stripes can only make nice for the cameras and not for the sake of reaching agreements. (We each ought to be thankful that we are not directly involved in politics.)
Our country is in rough shape and it will be in worse shape if time is wasted. Lay-offs have begun to occur, admittedly in small numbers at the moment. The posturing of the political titans has begun to take shape as the President told everyone what he expects as is his right as the result of his re-election. He believes this is a 'mandate' while I didn't see quite the winning margin that I would've called a mandate.
President Obama is very likely right to begin asserting his demands on the opposition today rather than to wait for a week or a month. But, he will thereby succeed in hardening the positions of the opposition very early into the second term. We have a huge economic situation that needs be resolved and the rhetoric of demand will likely forestall any real effort to make the tough calls that will help the country. There must be give and take…and that doesn't seem to have occurred to the re-elected President yet.
While this is going on, we have people who are being told their jobs are going away. True, it is a small number that have heard this message so far, but the message will be going to larger and larger numbers as time moves on. The economy is not the sole cause of this employment disruption. ObamaCare is another of the causes and it will take its toll as employers take stock of their respective positions and make the decisions they need to make to keep their businesses running.
Would any of this have been different if there were a President-Elect Romney? The likely answer is 'yes' given the hope that would've prevailed for the days following his inauguration. We all now know precisely what lies in store for the next four years; hope is not part of the new lexicon; there will be an even more rapid and robust effort to make ObamaCare operational…before the issues that exist within this law are resolved. And, there are significant issues. Issues like doctors exiting the system. Issues like not enough doctors being graduated to meet patient demand. Issues like employers dropping their plans because they cannot afford the level of coverage mandated by ObamaCare. Issues like the increase in premium rates created by the ObamaCare requirement that rate bands from lowest to highest cannot exceed three while there are usually five bands today; this issue alone will make healthcare unaffordable for many who are covered today. Rates will increase by multiples of 10% coming out of the blocks.
So, we now have the second term of President Barack Obama looming on the immediate horizon; it is no longer in any doubt. In this second term we have the 'fiscal cliff' and 'sequestration' and the expectation of non-citizens that they'll be given an 'easy' button to push for citizenship in one form or another. We have any number of foreign enemies who are champing at the bit to test President Obama and his resolve in his second term. We have a weakened Europe that has so far been unable to effectively deal with its economic crises looking to our own weakened economy for help that isn't possible unless we borrow more from China.
I do not envy our President, but he is the guy who wanted this job, so these are his problems before he passes them down the chain to each of us in the form of tax increases and choking regulations.
Do I pray for him and for our country? Absolutely. Do I fear that, in spite of my prayers, he will take pathways I disagree we should be trodding? Absolutely. Do I wonder how much more resilience our country can summon? Absolutely.
Can I do anything about my concerns other than pray and keep my chin to the grindstone? No.

Yes, Human-on-Bird CPR Works
Haven't you always wondered if mouth-to-beak resuscitation—"bird CPR"—would actually work? Well! We can confirm that, yes, in at least one instance it has: Bend, Ore. veterinarian Jeff Cooney saved a bald eagle (named, boringly, "Patriot") this week by performing CPR on it. Patriot, whom Dr. Cooney is rehabilitating from an apparent car accident, was under anesthesia at the time; KTVZ provides the image above, though we're not sure if the photograph is a staged re-creation of the event or an actual action shot of the heroic lifesaving attempt. Either way, it's good to know that, in the event that you come across a dying bird, you may have a shot at saving its life. [KTVZ]

The Green River Citizen Corps Council/Local Emergency Preparedness Council hosted the third annual Emergency Preparedness Fair on Oct. 9. There were three fairs held in the local area, the Carbon County Fair was held in Price Oct. 7, the Emery County Fair was held at the Spartan Center Oct. 8, and Green River's was held Oct. 9 at the John Wesley Powell Museum. Having them together was planned to accommodate the many presenters from all over the state.
Green River started out with skits about emergency preparedness by the Girls Scout and Boy Scout Troops. These Scouts did an exceptional job. Then a more serious time when Karen Smith City of Green River Emergency Program Manager gave a Neighborhood Watch update and a short presentation on Citizen Corps Council. Lennie Nord (volunteer firefighter) explained siren meanings here in Green River, and Mayor Glen Dale Johnson spoke about the importance of every citizen being prepared for an emergency. Mel Ray, P.A. then explained the games that were planned for children of all ages and everyone went outside to let the games begin, followed by lunch and an afternoon of collecting information from the booths waiting to give demonstrations on emergency preparedness.
Gary and Linda Fluckey were in the theater with 72 hours kits. They demonstrated many different items that are available to have on hand when an emergency arises. Orders were taken and kits will be assembled for Green River citizens. What a great service they are providing for the community.
Downstairs there was an excellent presentation on terrorism. The explosives demonstrator educated the audience about how easy it is for the wrong people to make bombs, and the Green River EMTs were giving basic first aid and CPR demonstrations. These professionals made it easy to understand the importance of being aware and trained in case we are a first responder, observe someone acting suspicious, or someone with certain items that could make a bomb when put together.
Outside in the museum parking lot there was information on green houses, Allen Clark demonstrated Dutch oven cooking, Martin Wilson and crew had the Carbon/Emery County Hazmat Truck and information about CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), Neighborhood Watch, and Public Health Safety. Utah County's HazMat trailer presented a demonstration concerning explosives.
Their robots, which are used in retrieving explosive materials, were on display.
The officers answered questions and provided educational materials to help educate parents and children about how to avoid injury from explosives.
Utah State Department of Emergency Services CERT trainer Mathew Hurtes was on hand with a great display on CERT. He and his partner Dana demonstrated the proper use of a fire extinguisher and answered questions about what CERT is all about.
Green River started CERT training Nov. 3, at 5 p.m. at City Hall. Contact Karen Smith 564-3448 or Tamara Ekker 564-8221 to sign up.
Green River's own Decontamination Trailer was on display. The Green River Medical Center and Green River Volunteer Fire Department put it together. Lesa Weihing and Mary Winters have received training to operate it in the event we have a contamination or hazardous materials emergency.
The committee wants everyone who helped put this important event together how much their efforts are appreciated.
Special appreciation to Sonya Ray Emergency Preparedness Fair Chair who worked endless hours organizing and making sure everything went well.

are suggesting adding decoupling capacitors?
but I will try with a capacitor between power and ground on the powersupply today.
since the LM317 delivers constant current and the outputs of the tlc5940 delivers constant current I would be safe
Is there a way to calculate value for pull ups though by the way?
You can parallel up the outputs of the TLC do a search for application note SLVA280 Using TLC5940 With Higher LED Supply Voltages and Series LEDsandSLVA253 LED Driver [ch8211] Paralleled Outputs Provide High-Current Outputs
Could I use an N-channel MOSFET on the 4 paralleled output pins?

Bills training camp observations: Day 7
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 27 2014 10:01PM
While other teams around the National Football League are just getting started at training camp, the Buffalo Bills have already gone through a full week's worth of work. Only a week away from their first preseason game, the Bills have a lot on their collective plate at practice throughout the next few days.
Head coach Doug Marrone introduced live hitting on Saturday for the first time in 2014 and they kept that going for a second straight day, giving the team their first taste of goal line work. Compared to their efforts on Saturday, specifically by the offense, Sunday brought about much more optimism.
EJ Update
- The man with the most influence on the outcome of the 2014 regular season is undoubtedly EJ Manuel, and to this point in training camp he hasn't done much to inspire the overwhelming confidence his coaches and teammates seem to have in him. While that much held true during the seventh practice of camp, Manuel showed a lot more than he did in previous efforts. A difference from a practice a few days ago, the second-year quarterback was decisive in 7-on-7 drills and found a lot of receivers in space. He still struggled with going through all of his reads, which is concerning because it appears as though Jeff Tuel has no problem doing so in the offense, and that has limited him at practice so far. That, in addition to his inaccuracy, is what holds him back from realizing the potential the Bills believe that he has. In his favor, however, is the fact that the Bills went out this offseason and acquired two receivers that are very good at making bad throws look good. With transactions like those and how those two players have performed in camp so far, the Bills appear as though they're eliminating any and all excuses for Manuel's second season.
Hogan gets time with the 1s
- It has been written numerous times over the past two years, but wide receiver Chris Hogan had another very good practice for the Bills on Sunday. Shaking off a two-drop performance on Friday night, Hogan was strong in his routes and on the ball whenever given the opportunity during the afternoon practice. Due to all his strong play throughout the first six days of camp, the Bills rewarded him with time on the field with the first-team offense as the third wide receiver. It wasn't a direct shot at Mike Williams, but more of a pat on the back to Hogan who has done mostly everything right to this point. Williams also got time with the first unit. It's quite a long training camp so there are no guarantees on July 27, but with more performances like the one he's had consistently (and special teams experience to boot), he could remove any doubt that he makes the roster.
Red Zone Mike
- Captain Obvious supports the next sentence: The Bills want to be much better in the red zone and on the goal line than they were in 2013. To help them do just that, from a theoretical standpoint anyway, they traded for Mike Williams and his 25 career touchdowns in four seasons (after grabbing 23 in his first three). Williams showed off that skill set on Sunday as the team continued to work in tight and help the offense progress. If there was a jump ball to be had, the wideout went up and got it on all but one occasion. After one catch in the back corner of the end zone, he looked at the crowd and took a bow, which drew some laughs from the crowd but also indicated that he is totally in control in those areas of the field. That will be where he is most important to the team, considering their dreadful past at capitalizing on in-close opportunities with getting six points rather than only three.
Don't run with your head down vs. 2nd team defense
- Through two days of live hitting at St. John Fisher College the biggest hitter has been identified, and it's not someone one would initially expect. Jonathan Meeks, the team's fifth-round pick in 2013 and backup strong safety, has been crushing teammates during the last two practices. He was the player responsible for the big hit that left wide receiver Kevin Elliott, to put it ever so delicately, a bit woozy. The hit was clean and it was one of a handful that he's brought to practice over the weekend. He likely won't push for a starting job in 2014, but his presence on the roster as a suitable backup is evident.
Richardson gets a step up
- An inauspicious start to the training camp of fifth-round pick and rookie guard Cyril Richardson has led to many being skeptical about his chances of making an impact on the roster in his inaugural season. Despite some bad beats through the first five practices, starting on Saturday night Richardson was bumped up a unit. Initially serving as the third-team left guard Richardson and Antoine McClain, who was the second-team left guard through the first five practices, switched places. It's been a steep learning curve for the rookie and he hasn't necessarily taken advantage of his heightened opportunities in the past two days, but at the very least the Bills are giving him the chance to prove himself.
Day 7 MVP: CB Stephon Gilmore
- Gilmore has been a cool customer through the first six days of training camp, and it wasn't until Sunday that he started to show the signs of what he did at St. John Fisher College in 2013. He mirrored the receivers anywhere they went and minimized their impact on the given play, regardless if they made the catch. He earned MVP honors with a fantastic one-handed interception in the end zone against EJ Manuel and Sammy Watkins, sticking with the impressive rookie and then turning his head around to be in perfect position to come away with the turnover. He added another interception in the practice to put his day over the top.
Day 7 LVP: WR Chris Summers
- Among the players fighting to get noticed out of the wide receiver group, Summers really hasn't stood out for any reason beside his height. In a drill where a 6-foot-5 player should dominate against smaller corners, Summers failed to make an impact in jump-ball setting in the end zone. He doesn't get a lot of separation on the initial route and then fails to rise up and meet the ball at it's highest point. The throw needs to be there, but even when it was not it didn't appear as though he had the right positioning during and after the route's completion to inspire confidence in a successful attempt.
Up Next:
The Bills resume practice on Monday morning at 8 o'clock. The session will once again be open to the general public.
[Edit: The Bills, likely due to the expected weather, have changed Monday's practice to 6 pm. It's open to the public and fans will not need a ticket for entry.]

New Laboratory to Improve Monitoring of Hazardous Waste in Key West African Port
Geneva, 24 June 2010 - In a bid to protect the coastal environment of West Africa from hazardous waste, a modern laboratory has been set in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, to improve the port's waste monitoring standards.
The laboratory which was formally handed over to the Côte d'Ivoire's ministry of environment, is equipped to test for hazardous waste from ships entering the West African port. The laboratory will provide a new service to improve the port's waste monitoring standards and is an important outcome of a project by UNEP and the Basel Convention Secretariat to strengthen national waste management systems in Côte d'Ivoire.
Led by UNEP's Disasters and Conflicts Programme, the project was instigated following an incident in Abidjan in 2006, when several people are believed to have died and thousands of others reported health problems after liquid sludge, containing large quantities of toxic substances, were dumped in local waterways.
The incident drew international attention to the need to boost the capacity of many African countries to detect and manage hazardous waste, including the transboundary movement of dangerous chemicals and other hazardous waste.
The project began in 2008 with support from the Netherlands Ministry of Development Cooperation, the Municipality of Amsterdam, the Government of Sweden and the Government of Denmark, and has included in-kind assistance from the Swiss Government's Spiez Laboratory.
Now operational, the new scientific facility is based at the Centre Ivoirien Anti-Pollution (CIAPOL) in Abidjan. CIAPOL staff received intensive training on techniques such as testing soil and water samples for potential contamination as part of capacity-building modules delivered by UNEP and Spiez Laboratory.
Among the project's other outcomes are a comprehensive assessment of the port jointly conducted with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and a Hazardous Waste Management Plan for the District of Abidjan, which involved extensive consultation with the country's hazardous waste sector and various government agencies, industry and non-governmental organizations.
The country-level model for Côte d'Ivoire, which aims to enhance the implementation of major conventions on hazardous chemicals: is now due to be introduced by the Basel Convention Secretariat in Gabon, Morocco and Madagascar.

Steven Jackson has been a St. Louis Ram for nine seasons.
Apparently there won't be a 10th.
The Rams will allow the franchise's all-time leading rusher to void the final year of his contract (2013), meaning Jackson will almost certainly be a free agent after the season, per CBSSports' Pete Prisco.
Considering Jackson will be 30 next year, has a lot of wear and tear on his body and has never been on a winning team, this could amount to a courtesy move on the Rams' part, an analysis shared by NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal.
Allowing S-Jax to shop himself rather than asking him to take a pay cut from the $7 million he's currently due next season or cutting him outright seems to be a logical move for both parties. The Rams can then continue their rebuilding program -- they have plenty more high draft picks in their quiver -- under new coach Jeff Fisher and GM Les Snead while Jackson can pursue a late-career move as a third-down back elsewhere a la LaDainian Tomlinson.
Jackson's 9,288 rushing yards are more than any other player has amassed in a Rams uniform, including Hall of Famers Eric Dickerson and Marshall Faulk.
Barring the acquisition of another tailback in the 2013 draft, St. Louis has youngsters Daryl Richardson and Isaiah Pead waiting in the wings.

Germany and the Holy Roman Empire
Many people are aware of the atrocities committed by Germany in World War II, but would consider them ancient history. These people are completely unaware of the legacy which Adolf Hitler drew upon in creating his Nazi war machine. His was merely the latest resurrection of a war-making empire with a long and bloody history. Did you know that the Bible prophesied of his regime-as well as the terrible emergence of one last resurrection in our day?

<Asce> what if i wanna know what size bra Umbra037 wears?
<Umbra037> I go bra-less. Much more freedom.
<Asce> but when you jump, they jiggle
<Umbra037> And that's a problem because?
<Asce> have you ever tried running while they're flopping about
<Asce> ?
<Umbra037> No, but apparently you have.
<Asce> yeah, it's not comfortable
<Woofcat> i'll be honest
<Woofcat> i feel sorry for ladies when i see them running sans sports bra
<Asce> they could use sports bras
<Asce> or they could use duct tape
<Woofcat> lol
And so ends the conversation that will forever change the restrictions of women while running as we know it.

When you are restricted in your creative thinking and ideas by an authority that directs your thinking with rigid assumptions and techniques. Not to be confused with brainwashing.
The institution of academia is enforcing braincuffs on future and present scholors.

Mesh goes gridwide: Create, sell, buy & enjoy all-new things in SL
Today, mesh technology is available gridwide in Second Life. All SL users can now benefit from mesh technology, no matter what you do or where you are inworld.
If you shop, be sure to check out items built using mesh — they can sit alongside everything else you own and love in SL, but often look superslick, and may have greater detailing or design than a similar item built without mesh.
If you build, mesh is another option to help you access unlimited creativity. All the other traditional SL building options are still intact, we've just added to your toolkit.
If you sell things, selling objects created using mesh is one way to diversify your offering.
If you own land, well-made mesh objects can be used to increase efficiency and maintain optimum performance on your parcel.
Make sure you use the new Viewer to view and upload mesh objects correctly; older viewers will not render objects created with mesh correctly. Please check with third-party viewers; mesh support may vary.
A More Technical Look at Mesh
You've probably already seen mesh technology at work in modern video games, special effects and 3D animation. The term "mesh" refers to an object that consists of polygonal geometry data. That means it is extremely flexible — and it certain situations, it can be way more efficient than the existing prims and sculpties you'll find inworld currently. Although existing building tools and techniques may still be the best choice in certain settings. You can talk with other designers about mes here.
Mesh objects are first created in external programs, such as Blender or Maya, (check here for more information) and then imported onto the Second Life grid. Once there, mesh objects can be manipulated in pretty much the same ways you would manipulate a regular old prim. Learn more about uploading your own mesh items here.
Yay! I am ecstatic it has finally arrived!
I'm also happy Lindens took the time to get it right!
I'll wait at least a couple weeks before I release my stuff, in case there is any surprising pop-up issues with this first launch of mesh, & to let most people have time to realize mesh is here & to download the mesh-compliant viewers.
Thank you for your hard work Lindens in launching this new creative tool for us in Second Life.
Lots of kudos to all the guys on the team who worked to make mesh a reality!
although i'm yet to tinker with mesh i am thankful for the default prim sizing increase (from 10 to 64M).
in the words of a group tag "Rez, We Can!"
thanks lab =)
Yay! Congrats LL on mesh release!
Woohoo!! Let's also give a cheer for 64m prims!!
Not quite all SL - Maestro Linden said in Forums
.... the BlueSteel and LeTigre channels won't get Mesh until their rolling restarts later this week, per the schedule Oskar posted.
Yeah, woo hoo (waves a strand of limp spaghetti.) First off it's broken stuff all over the grid. Secondly, given the choice of viewers that support it.....well....I'll be waiting a bit before bothering with it. The larger regular prims will be nice though.

Not quite mesh day yet. Not yet.... we still have to wait for Phoenix and Firestorm to catches up first.
Nevermind Viewer 3.0, lulz.
PS: Viewer 3.0 is prone-crashing.

TenFifteen also has some kits for making mesh clothinghttp://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/TenFifteen/1
Still waiting here for Bluesteel to roll it out!
Well this is nice and all but is there ever going to be a mesh viewer that is not as crappy performance wise? I can't update to anything newer than 2.7, every viewer 2.8 and newer has horrible lag and I get nothing better than 5fps on it so it is just simply unusable for me.
this is also the beginning of a new generation of sl machinima!
I would have thought this would be under "Featured News"...
Yes, it does depend on Viewers being available, and used, which support it. I hope we get a clear announcement of when a Mesh-capable Linden Lab viewer is available, and not a Beta.
But past experience biases me towards waiting for Firestorm. With such a large number of people not using the Linden Lab viewer, this isn't going to be a fast take-off.
Technical Note: Everything on the Grid is a mesh anyway. Prims are drawn on our screens as mesh objects. Our AVs are mesh objects. But we don't have to download the details of those meshes.
VIEWER 3.0!!!!!!!! FAIL UPON FAIL UPON FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree with Darren Scropio i tried it today and epic lag they need to fix the lag issue asap i go a max of 10fps and that was on ultra low settings lol on firestorm i can run it on ultra lol like i said FAIL EPIC FAIL. my advice wait for firestorm i have been using firestorm since it was in preview and it has less bugs then 3.0 plus firestorm has sooooo many more options that i couldnt live without now. WAIT FOR FIRESTORM 8)
*sighs* I cant say i have crashed once, I also havent lagged out. Regardless you can use Kirstens viewer.
I kinda think you just have alot of Phoenix/ Fire Storm fan boys upset.
Yay! Here's my first mesh creation imported inworld. Totally puts my old prim birds to shame!
These new birds here are fully animated inworld blinking, beak opens, sleeps, stands & walks... the unbelievable part is each bird is only 1 prim! When I finish up flying and pecking behaviors they'll be 3 prim each. This is the biggest improvement to SL since I joined up back in 2006.
Thanks again Lindens for helping make Second Life a better world.
Congrats on Mesh!! Now that you've done that, can you please fix shadows on Macs? I'm stuck on Viewer 2.7.2 because every version since then (including Viewer 3) makes objects with transparency turn completely invisible when shadows are turned on.
Its a shame V3 does nothing but lock up ever few seconds on my pc guess I will wait till Firestorm has mesh
kudos guys
I was also having severely low frame rates with 2.8 and 3.0, until someone asked me to check the anti-aliasing setting in the Hardware options. It had defaulted to 8x, which is extreme overkill. I dropped it to 4X, and my frame rate jumped from 5 to 7 FPS to a much more reasonable 30 FPS or so.
Adding the Starlight/Stardust skins to eliminate the sidebar completely and fix numerous glitches makes Viewer 3.0 almost bearable. But Firestorm still performs better and has a better, more efficient user interface, so as soon as they get Mesh capability it's unlikely I'll ever try LL's Viewer 3.0 again.
@Ceera, you gave me hope and got me excited. Unfortunately this was not the case for me because anti-aliasing was disabled.
@Everyone saying I am a Phoenix/FS fanboi you couldn't be more wrong. I have been one who has spoken on these forums about how much I love V2 and have no problem with it. As for using Kirsten's it is also having the same exact problem, anything newer than S21(7) has horrible frame rates as low as 5fps in places where I can get 20fps on the older builds.

Rocky Heights Middle School is right on target with the birth of its archery program.
After receiving a grant from the Easton Foundation to launch the program, the school became the first in Douglas County to shoot its collective arrows skyward and even hosted the Olympic Archery in Schools state competition April 2o.
"It took a little while to get things in motion, but the turnout and the involvement has been just overwhelming," said head coach Rodney Graham. "With 'Hunger Games,' movies like 'Brave' coming out, with the Olympics — which I think was probably the biggest draw — I figured we would get a pretty good pull and we did."
When the program was initiated in January, Graham and assistant coach Dave Calloway had 150 students express interest in participating. Sixty of those showed a commitment to sticking with it, but the program only had room for 32 students.
"We took what we could," Graham said. "We did a lottery drawing and pulled kids' names out of a hat and did it that way."
For those who had their names drawn, not only have they had an opportunity to participate in a handful of tournaments over the past few months, but they can look forward to continuing the sport when they move up to Rock Canyon High School in a couple years, as there is a planned program in the works.
Thanks to a second grant request to Easton written by Graham, there is also an elementary program already underway at Rocky Heights' feeder schools.
Not taking the two gifts from Easton lightly — the foundation provides all the necessary equipment and targets — the Rocky Heights club decided to pay it forward and raised $5,500 at a tournament in early April for the Wounded Warrior Project, a national nonprofit that assists wounded veterans.
Graham, who also teaches archery for the Highlands Ranch Community Association, hopes to see other area schools follow suit to increase competition and camaraderie.
"It's really fun to see the mix of kids that go for this," he said. "We've got a lot of kids that do the traditional sports, and then we have some other kids where traditional sports aren't their thing. They've really embraced archery."
Seventh-graders Ally Pfeiffer and Jacob Buras both compete in other sports, but each is thrilled about the opportunity to partake.
"I had done it a couple times at Girl Scout camp and I really enjoyed it, so I decided to come out," said Ally. "I think it's really cool that we are the only school that does this, and the fact that we can come into the gym and shoot arrows is a lot of fun."
"I personally like hunting, so it feels kind of natural," added Jacob, who plays hockey, baseball and football and ranks archery second right behind hockey. "If it's a sport and it's competitive I'm in it. ... I just love it, it's so much fun."

Wonderful meditations by a great healer. I like it a lot, although I had originally thought it was for long distance healing. It is for healing one's own past, present and future instead. It works for me. Thanks @

Estranged since toddlerhood, the makings of a relationship are afoot, says TMZ.
She scarcely grew up with her, but now Paris Jackson is spending time with her mom, Michael Jackson's ex Debbie Rowe, TMZ is reporting.
Mother and daughter spent Paris' 15th birthday together on Wednesday. "The two just hung out," a source tells the website. "They've gotten really tight."
MJ and Rowe, 54, divorced a year after Paris was born, two years after Prince's birth. When her daughter was three, Rowe gave up her parental rights, according to TMZ. The pair barely saw each other.
But it seems a bond is growing, if quietly. "Debbie has gone out of her way to keep the meetings on the down-low because she doesn't want to create an appearance that she's exploiting their relationship," says TMZ.
Of course, with the name Jackson attached, a whiff of potential scandal is never far behind. "One source says Debbie could have made a lot of money off the meetings, but wouldn't even consider it."

A powerful blizzard began sweeping over Iran on February 3, 2014, bringing extreme cold and deep snow to much of the northern part of the country. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this view of the snow on February 6. Snow blanketed a broad swath of the country, from the border with Iraq to the Caspian Sea. According to the BBC, an official in the northern province of Mazandaran said the snowfall was the the worst to hit the area in 50 years, with up to two meters (more than six feet) of snow falling in some places. The snow left nearly 500,000 people without electricity and gas, according to the Tehran Times.

Thanksgiving Day online buying may have jumped and Black Friday shoppers are doing their thing, but it's a light, flat trading session when it comes to ETFs.
The sector's major ETFs are sitting on gains of 30%-40% for the year, so I'll guess it would have taken a blowout for matters to be any different on a shortened, post-holiday trading session.
SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT) — up 43% heading into Friday — is ahead by 7 cents on the session. The gain is a tad behind what's happening in the rest of the stock market. Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLY) — up 39% during 2013 — is ahead by 0.3%, in line with the rise in the S&P 500.
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio (PSCD), one of this year's standouts, is down by 0.3%. This one entered Friday with a 46% rise during 2013.
Bellwether stocks mirror the so-so trading. Target's (TGT) stock is down and Wal-Mart's (WMT) is essentially flat despite signs Thursday both companies began the key Holiday selling season with a bang.
From MKM Partners analyst Patrick McKeever:
What we've been seeing more and more in recent years is an initial burst of holiday spending around Black Friday, followed by a pronounced lull, then a dramatic pickup toward the end. We would expect to see that again this year. It is also clear more and more holiday sales are migrating online, which hurts bricks and mortar retail sales.

Ruff ran out of answers
by Howard Simon
posted Feb 20 2013 12:00AM
On Thursday night, Sabres fans will experience something for the first time in more than 21 years. They'll see how their team responds to an in season coaching change.
You have to go back to December 11,1991 to find the last time the Sabres fired a coach during a season. Rick Dudley was let go with the team mired in an eight game winless streak and with a 9-15-4 record. Then General Manager Gerry Meehan made the move and announced John Muckler, who was the Director of Hockey Operations, would take over behind the bench. There was no magic turnaround as the Sabres went 22-22-8 the rest of the season.
Clearly, current General Manager Darcy Regier and the Sabres brass are hoping this firing will have a different impact and keep the Sabres from missing out on the playoffs for the fifth time in the last seven seasons.
I was listening to Schopp and Bulldog when they announced the news of the change, which had been tweeted by the Sabres. My first reaction was "wow" even though many of you were probably not surprised. I didn't think the team would fire Ruff during the season and I expected Regier to make player moves before even considering the removal of the man he hired in July of 1997.
I'm never happy to see anyone lose their job but this was a move the Sabres had to make. Quite simply, it was time. In fact, it was probably past the time.
Watching the game with Winnipeg on Tuesday and then listening to what Ruff had to say after the 2-1 loss, for the first time I felt he had run out of answers. Not once during his weekly Tuesday segment with Jeremy White and me did I feel that way but he sounded different after the loss to the Jets. He sounded resigned to the fact he wouldn't be able to fix the problems.
Ruff has always had a defiant side to him and was resolute last season when we would ask him about whether he could win with that team and turn the season around. He would bristle at the idea of giving up and would take it personally when asked if he thought he could be fired.
Yet that defiant side was nowhere to be found in his post game press conference Tuesday night when he was asked if he realized the fans hate this team. I thought his reaction to that question was very telling.
It was almost like that game was Ruff's last stand. He finally benched defenseman Jordan Leopold for the first time in his Sabres career, even though it should have happened weeks ago. Ruff moved a struggling Drew Stafford all the way down to the fourth line and played him alongside Cody McCormick and John Scott. He bumped up Pat Kaleta, who has yet to score this season to the second line with Tyler Ennis and Marcus Foligno. He changed back later in the game.
Nathan Gerbe got some shifts on the top line in place of Thomas Vanek. Foligno, who was taken off the power play completely in the loss to Pittsburgh, was back on the power play and with the top unit. But when all was said and done, an uninspired Sabres team ended up losing for the 10th time in regulation in 17 games.
In hindsight, you can make the case the Sabres looked exactly like the Washington Capitals did last season when they lost at First Niagara Center in what turned out to be the last game for Bruce Boudreau.
I don't know if anyone will ever find out the truth but my guess is Regier had to be convinced to make this move. Either Terry Pegula realized the fan base was fed up and his franchise was suffering or perhaps someone persuaded Pegula that it was time to release the man who, when Pegula bought the team two years ago, said "ain't going nowhere."
I will say this, I do have a renewed sense of energy to watch this team. I'm eagerly anticipating the game in Toronto to see if the Sabres look like a different group of players. Over the last two weeks its been increasingly difficult to watch this team play and see the same defensive breakdowns, bad passes, and lack of physical play.
I'm sure there are players who are very happy to see Ruff leave but I'm sure there are guys who enjoyed playing for him. Either way, I expect a different voice leading the way will create a more inspired hockey team. After all, the blame can no longer be placed at the feet of the head coach so its up to the players to now perform.

Your humble blogger was quoted in a USA Today piece about last week's Digital Learning Day to the effect that putting an iPad in every child's lap is not a magic bullet and that we ought to give at least as much thought to the content we teach with technology as the gadgets themselves.
Over at The Quick and the Ed, Ed Sector's Bill Tucker says my point that ed tech is not a "magic bullet" is correct but "debating this point gets us nowhere." Thanks, Bill (sort of) but I disagree. It is very much worth debating. Essential, even. The central narrative around ed reform—accountability, teacher quality, technology, et al.—tacitly assumes that the product of American education (what kids actually learn) is settled and sound, and that gains in student achievement, when they come, will be a function of enhanced delivery: better teachers, smaller schools, improved technology, etc.
Isn't it pretty to think so?
We've said it before: The majority of reform efforts (including the focus on ed tech), whether by choice or indifference, seek the best possible delivery of the worst possible product. And Tucker, a very bright and capable observer, strikes a mildly Panglossian chord when he writes that technology…
"…does provide the opportunity to shift power to educators, offering the possibility for not only more customization by teachers, but also access to a greater array of better materials. And, smaller publishers, including those who offer free content, such as Core Knowledge, may finally have a chance to enter classrooms based on the strength of their content, rather than their distribution and sales teams.
This translates into a belief that money and marketing are no match for the man who builds the best mousetrap. I'd love to be wrong about this and see a kind of reverse Gresham's Law take hold in schools, with good curriculum driving out the bad. But the conditions are not ripe. We've had generation after generation of teachers conditioned to believe that curriculum doesn't matter at all, a common and misguided belief that knowledge is of secondary importance to skills, and an entire policy apparatus constructed around the idea that reading is a skill and that reading tests tell us something revelatory about teachers. In short, the content of a child's education–especially in the critical elementary years–and the connection between content and language proficiency remains stubbornly off the agenda. All the iPads in the world cannot fix a fundamentally flawed concept of how to promote language proficiency in children.
Debating this point gets us nowhere? No, ignoring this point gets us nowhere.
I love that Digital Learning Day came on the eve of Groundhog Day, because I feel like I have seen this movie over and over again. Wake me when it's Digital Curriculum Day. Until then, back to my burrow await the end of educational winter. Oh, that it might be only another six weeks.

After watching, not so long ago, the new Trigun movie, I actually would like them to continue it (Trigun Maximum (?)).
After watching, not so long ago, the new Trigun movie, I actually would like them to continue it (Trigun Maximum (?)).
Deadman Wonderland, first season just finished. Hope they will continue. Though, the anime wasn't exactly following the manga. THe manga introduced a lot more characters.
Currently reading/watching:
One Piece, Naruto, Shingeki no Kyojin, Kenichi, Hajime No Ippo The Rising, Hunter x Hunter
#5 of the list I posted on this thread is rebooted: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...e.php?id=13262
Download first episode here: http://www.animetake.com/hunter-x-hu...011-episode-1/
Ending song is badass:
Currently reading/watching:
One Piece, Naruto, Shingeki no Kyojin, Kenichi, Hajime No Ippo The Rising, Hunter x Hunter
I just finished watching "Chrome Shelled Regios" and I thought it was pretty good. I was disappointed that it was only one season. A second season could have expanded on soooo much more of the story. For starters, they could expand on the other 11 members of the Heaven's Blades. They only show up in maybe 2 episodes out of 24, but they're badass and leave you wanting to see more of them. Secondly, they could expand on the flashbacks. The flashbacks were as good as the main story, but at the end I still didnt know who the people in the flashbacks were, but they were uber badass, especially the guy with the eye patch...his ability was other worldly.
anyway, if you havent seen this anime then I think its worth a watch. I'm watching Kenichi right now. I didnt know it would be this interesting. and Appa is my boy...with his Arnold Swartzeneager(sp) accent
Favorite Manga/Anime CharactersNaruto, Orochimaru, Jariya, Itachi, Ichigo, Mayuri, Kenpachi, Mugen, Vash the Stampede, "L", Edward Elric, Reborn, Rokudo Mukuro, Black Star, Dr. Fraken Stein, Death the Kid
Recently I re-watched Kaze no Stigma and I wish they would continue it... I know, I know, damn, it's almost impossible, but still... I heard that they have enough material for a prequel where it shows how Kazuma trained and etc.
Full Metal Panic! Fumoffu, it was a great laugh, I think I re-watched it a few times and supposedly there is enough material for 2 or even 3 seasons . I liked it more than the serious seasons/series ;P.
When it comes to manga, im a very picky reader. One manga i wish would resume would have to be Deadman Wonderland. I love the violence, charecters and story-line. I've read it up to the final chapter countless times and have patiently been waiting for the next one to come out :( its been a year and i want to know how it ends
I wish psyren had an anime and nothing else. Oh and that they continue tenjou tenge. I couldn't really follow that manga.

Its a portion of Itachi's powers. And its a last resort option, because Itachi doesn't want Naruto to use it. So maybe its lethal to the user?
1. Just as you said, it could be something dangerous (to naruto or who ever he's using it against).
2. The statement was made implying that certain events (ex: Sasuke attacking konoha, joining madra, war ,etc.) don't transpire.
A lot of people take the statement Itachi made is due to him giving Naruto a power or jutsu that will harm him or Sasuke. I think the statement was more indirect than direct. The reason is because we don't know if the power he gave Nauto is something that will help Sasuke (like a flashback of what really happened at the Uchia Massacre). If this is the case then Itachi would be implying that he hoped Sasuke took a different path rather than join Madara and due to the thought of Sasuke joining Madara and attacking the village that's why he made the statement. "I HOPE THE DAY NEVER COMES WHEN YOU HAVE TO USE IT" he didn't say it because he gave Naruto his power, but for Sasuke not making the wrong decesion that will lead to the day Naruto will have to use it. This may be confusing to some, but this is just an opinion.
I very highly doubt Itachi gave Naruto something that would be lethal to him if he used it. That would just be silly on Itachi's part. As we know, Itachi thinks a million bajillion moves ahead in life (might be a slight exaggeration), so at the very least, he certainly thought there would be a possibility that his "gift" might not work. So he definitely wouldn't have made it lethal to Naruto.
Your interpretation of Itachi's line is just a around about way of saying Itachi hopes Naruto won't have to use it against Sasuke. That and Itachi outlined most of that when he was talking to Naruto just before he gave him some of his power (What if Sasuke attacks the village? What will you do?). Everybody else just jumped to the natural conclusion that other stuff is obvious.
Theory over, Shisui's eye it was.

What do you do when you turn up to a networking event or a meeting? Do you turn up after everyone else? Do you leave before other people have? Well here's a quick tip for you this week – thousands and thousands of pounds have been won through the rule of the first and the last. What do I mean by this? I mean that you'd be surprised what work comes the way of the eager beaver (the person that arrives earlier than everyone else) and the last man standing (the guy/girl that's there 'til the bitter end!).
Why is this? I think there are a few reasons personally. If you want work, people will appreciate your efforts, they will see how comitted you are, the fact that you're not just a jobsworth who only does the absolute minimum or just comes for the free food and drink. You'll also get the chance to talk to far more people than your competitors having been there so early and leaving so late. This tactic also gives you more time to target who you really want to meet.
Something interesting also happens when you're one of the last at a meeting or in a room after an event – there is an air of relaxation – the actual event is over and most people have gone home. The remaining people have done what they need to do and can relax, meaning the environment for doing business is less stressed. Watch out for this next time and see if you get the same feeling, let me know if you do.
I appreciate this is a short post this week but I can't stress just how important this has been to my business. In the early days of my web design company, I went to every networking group out there, I got there early, scanned the list of people going, made sure I got to speak to those that I wanted too and then didn't leave until everyone else did. There is a fine line and you need to make sure you don't overstay your welcome (i.e. leave when the person putting on the event leaves and see if you can help them clear up but don't keep them from getting home or you won't be popular :))
So do you get there early and stay late or are you just there for the 'bit in the middle' – Has anyone made a pretty penny being one of the above? I'm keen, as always to hear from you.

The College of American Pathologists (CAP) has renewed CAP 15189SM Accreditation for National Jewish Health® Advanced Diagnostic Laboratories. Currently, only 22 laboratories in the United States have earned this prestigious accreditation based on ISO 15189.
National Jewish Health Advanced Diagnostic Laboratories is now utilizing molecular assays, including rpoB and 16S rRNA gene sequencing, to identify nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) and other organisms.
National Jewish Health Advanced Diagnostic Laboratories Laboratory Director recently welcomed Max Salfinger, MD, FAAM, FIDSA, as the new mycobacteriology laboratory director.
Advanced Diagnostic Laboratories was published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine on June 28, 2012. The article entitled "The Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Pulmonary Mycobacterium Avium Complex Disease Treatment" looks to explain the poor outcomes of currently recommended treatment regimens for Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease.
Read Abstract
Ashley Frazer-Abel, Ph.D. participated in a scientific workshop attended by the world's leading experts on hereditary angioedema (HAE) in April 2012. HAE is a familial condition that causes attacks of severe and often painful swelling throughout the body. The newest type of HAE, HAE Type III, is characterized by normal level and function of C1-inhibitor, a circulating complement protein that is deficient in HAE Type I and II patients. The workshop brought together international experts in angioedema researchers and clinical treatment with the objective of clarifying the current knowledge of Type III HAE, defining the gaps in our knowledge, and coming to a consensus on what characterizes this emerging clinical syndrome.As an expert in complementology, Dr. Frazer-Abel was the only invited laboratorian and as such served as consultant to attendees on how new HAE Type III research can best be translated into clinical diagnostic tests.
After a distinguished academic and clinical career, Professor Leonid Heifets MD, PhD, DSc, has elected to retire from his operational responsibilities within the Advanced Diagnostic Laboratories.
Dr. Heifets started his career at National Jewish Health in 1979 and authored more than 200 papers in the field of epidemiology and microbiology of infectious diseases. He received international recognition from his peers, having become a recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung disease in 2009 for his contribution to medicine.

The first Forum was held Wednesday, January 13, 2009, in the eastern Delta town of Forrest City, Arkansas. The second Forum was held today in the western part of the state in Russellville. More than 70 people attended the two days of meetings.
Panel members and the audience in both Forum's consisted of representatives from the fields of banking, labor, manufacturing, economic development authorities, educational institutions, Mayors, County Judges, State Senators and State Representatives, the Office of Congressman Marion Berry, the Office of Congressman John Bozeman, the Office of Senator Blanche Lincoln, and the Office of Senator Mark Pryor.
Lawrence McCullough, Rural Development State Director, and Linda Newkirk, Farm Service Agency State Director, welcomed the diverse group to the Forums and urged everyone to participate. The Forums were both opened with U. S. Department of Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan's comments regarding the Community Forum of jobs and economic growth.
The entire forum was captured on audio, video and pictures. We collected many recommendations and suggestions from a variety of partners and stakeholders during the forum. A report of all the information gathered will be submitted to USDA Secretary Vilsack and President Obama.
