Refreshed National Library of Energy(Beta) Takes on Expanded Role in Disseminating Department of Energy Scientific and Technical Information
The National Library of EnergyBeta (NLEBeta), a gateway to information across the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is taking on an expanded role in providing access to DOE scientific and technical information (STI) with the retirement of the federated search product Science Accelerator. In addition, the NLEBeta, launched in February 2013, has a redesigned home page and new features that makes it easier to use than ever.
Developed by DOE's Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), the NLEBeta search tool makes it easy for American citizens to find and access information about the Department from across the DOE complex nationwide, without knowing DOE's organizational structure.
3D printing technology is gaining fresh momentum in Department of Energy (DOE) research endeavors. 3D printing is achieved using an additive manufacturing process that creates 3D objects directly from a computer model, depositing material layer by layer only where required. This technology is expected to exert a profound impact on an increasing array of applications in architecture, engineering, construction, industrial design, automotive, aerospace, military, engineering, dental and medical industries, biotechnology, apparel, eyewear, education, geographic information systems, and many other fields.
Warmer winters are changing bird migratory patterns, warmer seawater is linked to coral reef bleaching in the Florida Keys and Puerto Rico, and more extreme climate events are affecting society and ecosystems. According to the Department of Energy (DOE), the increasing air and water temperatures, decreasing water availability across regions and seasons, increasing intensity and frequency of storm events, flooding and sea level rise have caused major issues to the energy sector over the past decade. Our world as we know it is evolving because of climate change.
Fifteen years ago was the genesis of DOE R&D Accomplishments. It was established with the purpose of featuring U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and predecessor agency past research accomplishments whose benefits are being realized now. As the individual responsible for the growth and development of this Web product, the journey has been challenging, fun, exciting, and thought-provoking -- but never boring.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has historically played a leading role in supporting human genome research. March 2014 is the anniversary of the 1986 Santa Fe Workshop, which brought together participants from government, academia, and the private sector to explore the possibility of sequencing the human genome. This workshop was sponsored by DOE and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The Human Genome Project (HGP) was formalized in mid-February 1990.
In honor of the anniversary of the Santa Fe Workshop, DOE R&D Accomplishments has published a new feature page, Human Genome Research: DOE Origins. This page describes the key role played by Charles DeLisi, then Associate Director of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Health and Environmental Research (OHER) in conceiving the idea for a program to sequence the human genome. The Santa Fe Workshop met DeLisi's goal of laying out an approach to sequence the human genome.

I just learned that the NWTF will soon have a page, under the "Special Events" banner, that will list upcoming "Sanctioned Still Target Shoots".
They will list all the pertinent information on one page so that folks interested in that type of shooting will be able to quickly find it.
That should allow a more timely notice of these events. We'd love to see more shooters involved and love to have you all come out and give it a try. It's truly a fun sport.

One thing we can all probably agree on is that hearing celebrities' first kiss stories is a lot of fun, especially when they're awkward. And what's more awkward than locking lips for the first time in your life surrounded by cameras and crew people telling you which way to move your head? Very few things. More

"A Good Dog is a Good Dog"
The words didnt just walk off the page The democrat party is really split now because this vote did not pass. Obama didnt think anyone would even read this hes walking it back now as fast as he can.
The question still remains as to why the word God was removed and why Jerusalem as the recognized capitol of Israel was removed by the DNC platform committee.

As anyone who has been keeping up should know, I'm no Obama fan (to put it gently), but I just must not appreciate the intricacies here. The current platform's position on Israel seems pretty tough to me.

"The Greatest Obstacle to Discovery is not Ignorance -- It is the Illusion of Knowledge" ~ Daniel Boorstin
I can't imagine that a party platform would be written, but not shown to the President for his approval. If FOX NEWS had not noticed God was left out and Jerusalem was left out and then reported it, the platform would have been approved as written. But FN did report it and there was a fire storm about it. The POTUS recognized that this was not a good distraction so he had the wording put back in.
The question is... why was the wording omitted? Those who prepared the text of the platform had made a decision to omit the wording. Who were they and why?
Three votes were taken. TV viewers heard the response. Why did the majority of the delegates vote NO to place the words back into the platform? You heard how it was handled. "2/3's majority yes". Say what?
If I were a DNC delegate in the hall when the vote was taken, I would be wondering about that.
They will never tell us why it was taken out, it wasnt just a mistake since it had to be voted on to be left out. If you heard the loud yells of No they dont want it in , that tells me alot. God does not have a place in Obamas world

Gnome Stuff:
Gnome-2.10 is moved out of package.mask as of today(which is still april as I start writing). A new internal change for this release is the addition of eds as a default useflag. Support for evolution-data-server will now be installed unless you specify USE=-eds. Thanks to anybody leaving helpful comments and patches via bugzilla. Big thanks to Mike Gardiner for doing the stable gnome releases. Extra Big thanks to John N. Laliberte (allanonjl) who has been fixing gnome bugs all week and is now an official member of our beloved herd.
We are also going to write up a brand new and much improved version of the gnome configuration guide sometime soon. If anybody has anything they feel is worth mentioing about the gentoo specific configuration/install of gnome please drop me a line.
I'd also like to add a shout out to Peter Johanson who does a really great job with our dotnet packages. He added mono-1.1.x, gtk-sharp-1.9.x and muine-0.8.x to the tree a while ago which means I get easy access to the new plugin system available in muine.
My favorite plugin so far is this one for the audioscrobbler service. It stores information about every song you listen to and creates various charts based in that information. My page can be found here if curious.
There are other neat muine plugins available, along with an interesting now playing script written by the awesome Brandon Hale.

WASHINGTON – "I'm a pretty friendly guy," President Obama said near the end of his White House news conference Monday afternoon.
The claim might have been a touch more plausible if he hadn't spent the bulk of the previous hour demonstrating just how adversarial he could be.
"If congressional Republicans refuse to pay America's bills on time, Social Security checks and veterans' benefits will be delayed," the friendly president said, explaining his refusal to negotiate over increasing the debt limit.
Calling the opposition's stance "absurd," Obama advised Republicans that they "have two choices here: They can act responsibly, and pay America's bills; or they can act irresponsibly, and put America through another economic crisis. But they will not collect a ransom in exchange for not crashing the American economy. … And they better choose quickly, because time is running short."
And that was just the opening statement. The hectoring continued through the Q&A. Exactly one month after the massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., Obama said of debt-reduction talks: "What I will not do is to have that negotiation with a gun at the head of the American people."
The Republicans' view, President Congeniality added, "was rejected by the American people when it was debated during the presidential campaign. … But if the House Republicans disagree with that and they want to shut down the government to see if they can get their way on it, that's their prerogative."
Arguably, Obama's no-more-Mr.-Nice-Guy approach is good politics. His first-term experience made clear that he gained nothing from Republicans when he took a passive approach.
Yet the performance was also a reminder of why Obama isn't noted for his interpersonal warmth.
It's tempting to wonder whether Obama could achieve more if he could establish personal connections with Republicans on Capitol Hill. On Monday, by contrast, Obama showed unrelenting hostility toward the opposition, accompanying his remarks with dismissive shrugs and skeptical frowns.
Asked by NBC's Chuck Todd why he wasn't pursuing a backup plan in case there's no debt-limit agreement, he replied: "We are not a deadbeat nation. And so there's a very simple solution to this: Congress authorizes us to pay our bills."
CBS' Major Garrett, reminding Obama that as a senator he voted against a debt-limit increase, asked if he would accept a short-term increase. "We just had an entire campaign about it," the president replied. "And by the way, the American people agreed with me." Obama's antipathy toward his Republican opponents took a more personal tone when Jackie Calmes of the New York Times, the final questioner, asked about his reluctance to socialize.
"When I'm over here at the congressional picnic, and folks are coming up and taking pictures with their family, I promise you, Michelle and I are very nice to them," Obama said. "But it doesn't prevent them from going onto the floor of the House and, you know, blasting me for being a big-spending socialist." Playing golf with House Speaker John Boehner "didn't get a deal done," he pointed out.
Given the tendency by conservative media "to demonize me," Obama said, socializing with the president might lead to "a challenge from somebody in a primary." The only way to change lawmakers' behavior, he said, is for voters to "reject" the partisans who don't compromise. "And that will be true whether I'm the life of the party or a stick in the mud," he said.
From the affable president, this must pass for friendly advice.

The American Pet Products Manufacturing Association (APPMA) has issued a warning to Americans traveling with pets this summer. According to the group, a majority of the 40 million pets expected to hit the roads this vacation season will not be properly restrained, causing unnecessary safety hazard to pets and people alike.
For example, the group notes, an unsecured 60 pound dog could hit a window, backseat or another passenger with a force of 1,200 pounds in a 30 mile-per-hour collision.
APPMA is urging Americans to buckle up pets with its "Be Sure to Secure" national travel safety campaign. "There are many easy-to-use restraint devices, including harnesses and crates, which limit distractions and keept pets and others safe while traveling," said Funda Alp, spokesperson for APPMA.
APPMA recommends owners follow simple pre-travel steps so pets are safe and secure while traveling. "After properly securing pets, take them on a few short rides around your neighborhood to get them used to being in the car," Alp suggests. "With practice rides, companion animals will be more comfortable and experience less stress before taking a longer trip." Alp also suggests you feed a pet at least two hours before departure, scheduling a pre-vacation veterinarian visit and packing a pet's health records and medications with you when you travel.

Aveo Oncology and Astellas Pharma announce overall survival (OS) for phase III tivozanib versus sorafenib study in advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC)
Singapore: Aveo Oncology and Astellas Pharma announced overall survival (OS) for tivozanib, an investigational agent, from the phase III TIVO-1 (Tivozanib versus sorafenib in first line advanced RCC) study in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
The final OS analysis, as specified by the protocol, shows a median OS of 28.8 months (95 percent confidence interval [CI]: 22.5-NA) for tivozanib versus a median OS of 29.3 months (95 percent CI: 29.3-NA) for the comparator arm, sorafenib. No statistical difference between the two arms (HR=1.245, p=0.105) was observed.
Overall survival is a secondary endpoint of the TIVO-1 study. A one-sided crossover for patients randomized to the sorafenib (comparator) arm was offered pursuant to a separate, long-term treatment protocol to allow trial participants to receive tivozanib upon disease progression. This resulted in a substantial difference in the use of subsequent therapies.
Of the patients who discontinued their initial therapy, 10 percent originally on the tivozanib arm received subsequent anti-VEGF therapy (36 percet received any subsequent therapy) while 70 percent of patients originally on the comparator arm received subsequent anti-VEGF therapy (74 percent received any subsequent therapy).
Principal investigator Mr Robert J Motzer, attending physician, genitourinary oncology service, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and professor of medicine, Weill Medical College, Cornell University, New York, said that, "It's encouraging to see that patients in the study who received tivozanib had a median overall survival of 28.8 months, particularly given that these patients received minimal subsequent therapy. The safety and efficacy results from TIVO-1 and other clinical trials of tivozanib in advanced RCC suggest it may provide an important new first line treatment option for patients with this aggressive disease."

Thread: possible baby shrimps
possible baby shrimps
I started up a 5.5 gallon tank 2 weeks ago. In tank: log, 3 slabs of stone, gravel, filter (sock wrapped around intake tube, held on with elastic), heater, light. I was setting it up for cherry shrimp.
Someone gave me some java moss (a nice big clump) and I put it on the log.
I went away on vacation for a week (had someone come in to turn light on and off)... other than that nothing done to tank.
I come back to find little white things darting around my tank (about a millimeter long). Some look like worms, but others look like they have lots of feet.
The person who gave me the java moss had a singapore flower shrimp in his tank (I didn't see any other shrimp).
Could I have baby shrimp? If so, how do I care for them?
forgot to mention: start-up water was partly taken from another tank, to speed up cycling (however, there are no shrimp in the other tank).
Could they be daphnia?
Any suggestions?
singapore flower shrimp (aka wood shrimp or bamboo shrimp) do not reproduce in captivity. If you're certain that the tank the moss came from didn't have red cherry shrimp or another species that does breed easily, then what you're seeing can't be baby shrimp. There are many different species of tiny aquatic critters you could find living off plant material in an aquarium, though. You've probably got some harmless hitchhikers of one sort or another.300 gallon mega tank: sailfin pleco, clown loaches, silver dollars, roseline sharks, congo tetras, new world cichlids
125 gallon office tank: Africian cichlids, synodontis catfih
75 gallon community tank: bolivian rams, black skirt tetras, dwarf neon rainbowfish, corys, harlequin rasboras, otos, bristlenose and bulldog plecos, assassin snails, various shrimp
60 gallon goldfish tank: fancy goldfish
how can I find out what I have?
could they be brine shrimp? (not sure what he fed his fish)
can these hitchikers be fed to my baby swordtail or guppies?
remember, there is nothing living, but plants, (and whatever these critters are) in my new tank.
should I get rid of them? How?
you could do a google image search for common freshwater hitchhikers: daphnia, scuds (the crustacean, not the surface-to-surface missile), brine shrimp (not freshwater but get used as food). If it's not any of those you have to just kind of file it under the "miscellaneous" category. If they're really only a millimeter long you probably won't be able to identify them without a microscope, and you really don't need to. They're just part of the natural ecosystem of a planted aquarium. Fish fry will feed on them if given the chance, but I really don't think you need to remove them or manage them.300 gallon mega tank: sailfin pleco, clown loaches, silver dollars, roseline sharks, congo tetras, new world cichlids
125 gallon office tank: Africian cichlids, synodontis catfih

In my first shrimp tank I noticed these white very small squiggly critters after a time and thought nothing of them. A few weeks pasted and I started noticing these critters in/on the gravel,
Planaria, flatworms
Size: 0,3 - 1 cm, 0.1 - 3/8 inches
Non-parasitic flatworms. Crossed-eyed grossness, just pure yucky! The only small creature I dislike (I get shivers down my spine even thinking about them). If you split it, it will regenerate and you will end up having 2 planaria. There seems to be several different colours in the common ones found in aquariums, transparent, white, brown and red. There's actually nothing really horrible about them, but they can bother small shrimp and snails and might eat fish/snail eggs.
They love shrimp pellets, pieces of meat, dead fish/shrimp and they will also eat small live creatures if they can catch them. They move on the surfaces, even under the water surface and are most active by night. If disturbed, they will retract themselves (shorter and wider), let go and drop down to the bottom.
I'm not 100% sure if the little white swimming critters grew into these nightmare flat worms but I would bet my java moss on it.Warning; Bulldog Pleco guarding my Sons tank now..
Please remember; every keystroke has a consequence.
got critters under control
I put 3 young guppies in the tank... they went nuts eating every live critter in the tank... I will take them out in a few days and move the red cherry shrimp to the 5.5 tank (now in 1.5 tank). The young guppies certainly have large bellies right now... LOL.
thanks for advice.

It's all about efficiency. Raw clock numbers are meaningless as proven by real world tests. I read an article earlier that said the 1.5Ghz processor in the T-Mobile S2 actually scored LOWER than the 1.2Ghz Model on the other carrier. Mind you the chips are made from two different manufacturers. In that case Apple's 800Mhz dual core chip beats Samsung's 1.5Ghz Dual core chip... almost double the clock speed and half the performance...and I'm sure half the battery life. For everyone who drools over specs and goes out to buy their phones without actual performance to back it up this article is for you

TUPELO – The new Tupelo Aquatic Center has landed its first major competitions nine months before its scheduled opening.
It will host both the short course and long course Mississippi Swimming State Championships next year.
The Tupelo Convention and Visitors Bureau on Wednesday announced its successful bid for the events.
The short course championship will be held Feb. 21-23 and the long course meet July 17-20. According to a news release issued by the CVB, Tupelo is the first city to be awarded both events in the same year.
The two championship races are the first scheduled for the facility, which is scheduled to be completed this fall. The win is being hailed as a major victory by those involved in convincing the city to invest in the project in order to boost tourism.
"We're not totally surprised but we're absolutely ecstatic about getting both of them right out of the box," Mayor Jack Reed Jr. said.
Each meet will host more than 400 swimmers. Reed said this is proof that the center will be an economic driver of tourism, as well as an enhancement to the quality of life of Tupelo residents.
The mayor, along with officials from the Park and Recreation Department and the CVB, promoted the project as an investment in the city's ability to draw tax revenue through sports tourism.
Reed said Tupelo has long been known as premier place for youth sports. "Twenty years ago, we were the first to have really superior soccer fields," he said, "We are still reaping the benefits."
Although the city has hosted short course meets in the past, it will be the first long course meet for the city because it did not have the facility to host one before.
"In order to bid for bigger events we must host two meets with more than 400 swimmers, and we hope to have accomplished that by June of 2014 with the Short Course State Championship and a Shockwave Invitational Meet," said CVB Director Neal McCoy.
The state-of-the-art facility has a warm-up pool separate from the competition pool that is a draw for swim clubs. The center can set up to 900 people.
According to the news release, the center will open in January with "20 lanes for short course and eight lanes for long course swimming."
Reed added, "In swimming, we will be a Mid-South destination, not just a Mississippi destination."

Ouch, it seems I didn't wrote any blog entry for nearly 2 years, since our wedding. Well I would say that I have been fairly busy :-) !
Baby Cheng 程
Our son is born end of last august, so obviously this tends to keep the parents busy, but it's such a pleasure too !
this has been a wild ride ! The project has grown a lot, in community and contributor size, as well as code and features during the last couple of years. It acquired support for most well known virtualization hypervisors (QEmu/KVM, Xen, ESX, VitualBox, ...) the only notable exception being Microsoft Hyper-V I think. Our latest release is 0.8.0 so we are not at 1.0 yet, but we are really getting closer, for example this release now adds snapshotting support which was a big feature request.
About updates to Fedora
There was a discussion last month about forbidding direct built to the stable branches, and I really think this makes sense, except for security erratas, one really should not push directly an updated build onto the users without some testing. But on the other hand we entered beta on Fedora 13 and apparently it's too late to push libvirt latest release and features, meaning users who don't try to update either via the virt-preview special repository or by rebuilding from the source rpm, will see libvirt features when Fedora 14 is being released i.e around the end of the year. I see people bouncing between both extreme of the features vs. stability tradeoff, and I wonder if there isn't a better way than building absolute rules. Maybe a general profile per machine where the user indicates whether he want updates, just bug fixes or just security errata, and let him do the picking. This would require some policy from package builders, and some changes at the repo level I guess, but having the user ultimately in control might be worth it.

Binns looks pretty mediocre. He dropped some passes and is really just a possession guy
upside is #3 or #4 wr type stuff...id'd coverage pretty well while he was here when he got run in the games and sat down in voids...but against man he needs to show more...depending on how the offseason goes is probably looking at a 5th wr spot if we keep 5 and frankly he better get to work on his specials cause as things stand right now i would think marlon moore would beat him out as the 5th wr based on specials...i expect rishard mathews to pass him on the depth chart if he hasn't already in 2013
unless we blow it at the position this offseason i expect binns to have an uphill climb to make the 53...bring him to camp
He's hefty
The only thought that comes to mind when I think of Binns is his complete momentum crasher against New England, dropping that dime Tannehill bombed 20+ yards for the TD.
If they get wallace why would he draft a receiver early for? they already have Binns, Bess, Matthews, Hartline(if he resigns) if does draft a receiver it should be stedman bailey.
I'll wait to see what Binns can do after an offseason with the team. I did notice dude looked bigger than all the other receivers on the field and moved pretty well for his size.
Binns came in off the street and started playing right away. That says something.
Everyone just remembers the TD drop vs. NE therefore he sucks. Only time will tell. Its not like he had a full offseason with RT and co. so yes, give it some time. The dude can get downfield. I dont think we will rest on our laurels however becuase of Hartline and whether he is signed. i love some of the receivers in this draft, but if we add one in draft it most suredly will be Swope. He knows too much and is welker like.
Binns is one of those guys that has a ton of talent and potential, but never lives up to it for some reason. There always seems to be those that think they can do something to change him around and make this person a superstar, but it doesn't happen. I'm all for trying to develop guys, but when the guy fails to do so with numerous teams, you need to start making room for someone that can make that development to the next level.

Assert your right to choose!
On a hospital appointment with a friend who is 40weeks +6 (first pregnancy, young mother to be) the lovely student midwife is talking to us about booking an induction date and about hospital policy (booking an induction for 41weeks +3) etc... We tell her my friend wishes to give her body the opportunity to go into natural labour as long as possible, at least til 42weeks which is still considered full term. She hesitates and is like "oh but hospital policy..." and makes a call to birth unit, we whisper to her to push for as long as possible...ends up booking an induction for 41 + 3, anyway she gets off the phone and we politely insist that is not good enough and we want to speak with a senior midwife. With fear in her eyes she reluctantly goes off to find a senior midwife.
Senior midwife comes in and sits across from us with almost a halo of pride surrounding her and that her she knew best! Anyway my friend is quite anxious by this stage and at a loss for words. The senior midwife talks to us about the "hospital policy" and about the risks of going post term...I quickly (& politely) interrupt that 42weeks is considered full term and that my friend wants the opportunity to try until then to go into labour naturally and that couldn't we perhaps try a few less drastic measure before the induction such as book her in for a "stretch & sweep" and that inductions weren't risk-free. Her tone changes and both the midwives leave the room to speak with one of the doctors...they came back and lo and behold! From booking the induction for Saturday they changed it to Wednesday!
Birth unit gave the student midwife a hard time when she changed the appointment and the senior midwife actually had to jump in and speak to them because they were being so rude and uncooperative. We thanked the midwives for their help & support of my friend's choices.
I'm so sad that a student midwife is made to feel scared to stand up for a women's choice

Thank you for sharing this story. It's such a shame. The NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) guidelines state that induction should be offered as a choice to women not a hospital policy. Women should be given the option of waiting to go into labour spontaneously. As you say, an induction carries risks and can often lead to a high intervention birth (for example, women that have inductions are more likely to request an epidural and, therefore, more likely to have forceps used or to tear). I certainly agree women should 'assert their right to choose' and that midwives should be able to support women to do so. This was one reason I hired a doula - to help support me in my choices.
With best wishes,
10th November 2012 05:28 AM #3
Good for your friend and for you on being so well-educated! This bullying makes me so sad. Induction for post term should not even be considered before 42 weeks. You are a great friend to offer support and advice. I will be hoping your friend goes into labour naturally very soon.

Thank you L.J & Angela.
I will be checking out the NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) guidelines.
Im hoping she goes natural too!

Hi Amarie,
Every woman should have an advocate like you! Thank you so much for supporting your friend and being her advocate in the hospital.
Interesting information that LJ shared that the NICE guidelines state that women should be given the option of waiting to go into labour spontaneously. I have a friend who was scheduled for an induction at 40 weeks +2 and she was quite anxious to go into labour before then. She used blue cohosh and black cohosh according to her midwife's direction and made love often in hopes that the semen would help her start to dilate.
She was able to give birth before the induction date, but I was so sad that she felt so anxious about going into labour before 40+2. This was a young lady who's mum had had 3 homebirths, and she wanted a homebirth but couldn't afford it. She ended up with a good hospital birth, and even went into labour early with baby #2, and had another hospital birth. She has been fortunate to have two good hospital births.
How is your friend doing right now? Hope she's going as much as she can to help her body prepare for childbirth.
Warm Regards,

Thank you Kate!
Praying that she will go into labour tonight! if not induction is booked for tomorrow but she has a great birth plan that covers induction/augmentation and all the other stuff (written by a lovely doula).
She is happy with her decision to wait til now but feels that she wants the induction if she doesnt go into labour tonight.
14th November 2012 09:45 AM #7
If you have time, and you think about it, please post back to let us know how she's doing. We're quite interested to see how things go for her
Will you be able to be with her at the hospital?

OK we went into hospital today...my friend didn't want to go ahead with the Syntocinon drip because apparently hospital policy is they must break your waters first before turning on the drip...if anyone has info on this please respond!
She had a another dose of gel. We had a "nice" lecture by the doctor that was so uncaring and only magnified the risk involved in going over but no mention of any risks of induction or cesarean only that there is no "increased" risk with a induction or cesarean at 42weeks...
16th November 2012 11:35 AM #9
It makes sense that they would want to break her waters first to see if they could start labour naturally before starting a drip. I'm not saying it's best - I'm just saying that it makes sense.
Another dose of gel. Have contractions started today? Has your friend considered trying to bring labour on with herbs? Is she making love every day? When the body is ready to go into labour, making love (semen on the cervix) can be very effective - I suppose it's similar to what the gel would do, though.

Fbi surveillance van...win...
Also under the "More" settings is an option to show the SSID in the menubar.
Another nice tweak is "WiiCarrier" as it puts the name of the SSID in your iOS menubar. Tap it, and it shows the IP address.
I'm not complaining, just clarifying. The more tweaks like this out there, the better as far as I am concerned. So much of it is free. Choice and innovation is good. Gives us options, and might push Apple to consider rolling some of this UI in for us, too.
It's basically defined as unnecessary features or dependencies that are not used by the end user. Not having an option of doing away with this dependency now that the software no longer needs it to run makes it bloated. You're obviously fine loading up your devices with crap you don't need. I am not.
You're more focused on the principle than the real-world effects. I just want the software that is most powerful and does the job best, all things considered. You call it "crap I don't need" and I call it an "imperceptible price to pay for the well-chosen software I like best." All of these tweaks are free, I can easily try them all (and do.) Activator has no ill effects on my system whatsoever, and I still like SBsettings best, for the functionality I frequently use it for. All of the other replacements somehow manage to fall short. Get over it.
LOL, it's amusing how obviously seriously upset you get over other informed, power users' decisions to use software you've chosen to dislike. Are you still rocking the original iPhone or something? Maybe the 3G on iOS 4.x and it's gotten slow on you?
Trust me, by your definition, you've got "bloatware" on your device that you just don't happen to know about. At the end of the day, Activator has no perceptibly negative impact on my iPhone, and the end result with SBsettings is better than cobbling together all of these other scraps. I and many others don't get caught up on some silly principle like you do, and we like the choice we've made. You're awkward argument makes you sound somewhat silly. Did the developer of SBsettings pee in your Cheerios? LOL

Shares of hosted, "cloud"-based software provider NetSuite (N) are up 45 cents, or half a percent, at $81.70, after the company this afternoon reported Q1 revenue and earnings per share that slightly topped consensus.
Revenue in the three months ended in March rose 32%, year over year, to $91.6 million, yielding EPS of 4 cents, excluding some costs.
Analysts had been modeling $90.9 million and 3 cents per share.
Including the cost of stock options and other one-time, non-cash charges, NetSuite would have had a GAAP loss of 18 cents per share.
NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson remarked that "While traditional software companies continued to struggle, NetSuite delivered arguably the finest Q1 in our history."
NetSuite executives will host a conference call with analysts at 5 pm, Eastern time, and you can catch the webcast of it on the company's investor relations Web site.
Update: On the conference call following the report, NetSuite projected Q2 revenue of $100 million to $101 million, and EPS of about 2 cents. That compares to a consensus for $96.95 million and 5 cents.
For the full year, the company raised its revenue view to a range of $404 million to $408 million from a prior range of $397 million to $402 million. That is above consensus for $401 million. The company projects and EPS of 26 cents to 27 cents, below the average 27-cent estimate.
NetSuite shares have continued to add to gains and are up $1.25, or 1.5%, at $82.50 in late trading.

We have a almost 12 year old female that is having heat cycles about every 4 months. When she was younger she would cycle around every 7-8 months. He cycles now last longer and she has a creamy discharge for a couple weeks.
I wish we would have had her spayed when she was younger but we didn't hoping to breed her one last time. Any idea of what is causing the frequent cycles and the gross discharge?

Doorkeeper Spotlight: Roy Ethridge
Amid the hustle and bustle of the Capitol during legislative session, there are a few pillars of stability that keep watch over the doors to the Senate. These alert watchmen are the doorkeepers.
Roy Ethridge is finishing his third year of being a Georgia Senate doorkeeper, and says he enjoys every part of the experience. A self-described history buff, Ethridge relishes the ability to see political events firsthand. "When I'm here, I'm part of history in the making and then I get to take that experience and share it with others. There's really nothing like it."
After retiring in 2007 from a 40-year career at BellSouth, Ethridge found himself with quite a bit of time on his hands. A fellow usher at his church told Ethridge about the elite group of 10 doorkeepers at the Senate, and he was immediately hooked.
Doorkeepers are an integral part of the Georgia Senate. They monitor who is allowed to enter the Senate chamber, assist the Sergeant at Arms, and help maintain the decorum of the Senate. "We are in charge of creating an atmosphere that is quiet and focused, and to keep distractions to a minimum," Ethridge says. "The decisions that are made in the Senate affect all of us in our daily lives, so it's very important that the politicians have a good atmosphere to work in."
Ethridge doesn't say farewell to the Capitol at the end of the legislative session. He works as a tour guide year-round for those who visit the gold dome. "It's so enjoyable to share my knowledge of Georgia history with visitors to the Capitol," Ethridge says. "I look forward to continuing my work as a tour guide as well as a doorkeeper for years to come."

Isle Royale
National Park
In Lake Superior's northwest corner sits a wilderness archipelago, a roadless land of wild creatures, unspoiled forests, refreshing lakes, and rugged, scenic shores-accessible only by boat or floatplane. Travel on and around the island is by foot, boat, or floatplane. There are 267 kilometers (166 miles) of foot trails on Isle Royale and the island boasts numerous inland lakes. And for more seaworthy craft there is, of course, Lake Superior itself.
Isle Royale exists as an island in many ways. It is an island of wilderness and home to wolves in a modern world. It is an island in time, a natural space in which you operate on natural time and experience the rhythms of light and dark. Days are measured by footsteps, possibly under a backpack. Walking the island you are struck by its striated layout, its elongated forested-rock and lake patterns that parallel its backbone, the Greenstone Ridge. The island, it seems, must have been forcibly combed from northeast to southwest. The surface scene you see from the island's heights is the product of 10,000 years of natural sculpting, soil-building, and plant-pioneering and succession. Back then- actually not long ago by nature's standards-the island appeared beneath glacial ice, rising as the lake level dropped. The island developed soil and was colonized by plants and animals. Its many inland lakes first formed in basins gouged out by glaciers, and then began to shrink, as lakes and ponds inevitably do.
Beneath the ponds, the forests, and the light soil covering, however, is a story which must be told not in increments of centuries, but by millions and billions of years. The "ridge-and-trough" pattern of the rocks is the work of millions of years, pre-dating even the formation of Lake Superior and its islands. The story begins some 1.2 billion years ago with a great rift in the earth's crust which may have extended from here southward all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. As this series of cracks poured forth molten lava covering thousands of square kilometers, the land along the rift zone sank to form the Superior Basin, which has shaped all subsequent geological events in the region. The rock record of this cataclysmic happening-the volcanics, sandstones, and conglomerates-forms Isle Royale's bedrock today. Clues to the island's past abound. Smoothed, rounded, and even groove rock belies the crushing power of the last major glaciation, know as the Wisconsinan. It ended here only a few thousand years ago.
On the southwestern part of the island, where this glacier paused in its retreat, are small linear hills made of its deposits. On the Stall Trail out toward Scoville Point you pass three small pits in the rock. These form another clue, a clue to the Indians who mined copper on the island. The Indians came to the island only in mild seasons, taking what resources they could, and leaving before winter. The Indians mined here by about 2000 B.C., continuing for 1,000 years, and Isle Royale and Superior area copper made its way by trade as far as New York, Illinois, and Indiana. Indians were probably most active here from 800 to 1600. By the 1840s, the only Indian encampments white miners encountered were a maple sugaring camp on Sugar Mountain and a seasonal fishing camp on Grace Island.
Isle Royale is indeed an island of superlatives for wilderness and beauty. Or how about this superlative?
Siskiwit Lake's Ryan Island is the largest island in the largest lake on the largest island in the largest freshwater lake in the world!
You will find your own superlatives here as you meet the island on its own terms: fishing, boating, hiking, backpacking, taking a guided interpretive walk or hike, or just relaxing, which are what vacations are for.

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT?: Bush now has Tony Snow to help him make nice with his watchdogs
That might sum up the near toxic relationship between George W. Bush and a good chunk of the mainstream media these days. But it actually describes the combat between Bill Clinton and the Fourth Estate, as laid out in Howard Kurtz's 1998 book, Spin Cycle: Inside the Clinton Propaganda Machine.
That surprise punch line holds a lesson. Regardless of how loud the grumbling grows about the hostile atmosphere between the Bush administration and the media — an argument fueled by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales's recent pronouncement that the government can prosecute journalists for publishing classified material — an adversarial relationship between journalists and whoever occupies the White House is, in many ways, the natural order of things.
Any administration — with an enormous bully pulpit and the resources of the federal government at its disposal — is constantly engaged in an effort to convince the American public that its policies are working, its promises being kept. The news media — backed by major financial resources and wrapped in the protection of the First Amendment — should be constantly engaged in an effort to scrutinize and vet those very policies and promises.
When a president succeeds in maintaining public support, either by dint of the wisdom of his policies or by outmaneuvering a complacent, sloppy, or petty press, that's the way the system works. Conversely, when journalists succeed in raising legitimate doubts about the nation's leadership and manage to earn the trust of the citizenry, that's healthy too.
Some of those interviewed in a May 16 Editor & Publisher story about reports that the feds have been tracking media phone calls moaned and groaned about the practice. But the best response was delivered by the Washington Post's Walter Pincus. "You can't sit and worry about it," he said. "It goes all the way back to Watergate. It's a fact of life, you go on and do what you do."
In other words, stop whining and do your job. And may the better man — or woman — win.
Natural foes
In a piece for the American Journalism Review, editor Rem Reider declared that it was time to shut down the celebrity-studded White House Correspondents' Association gala, noting that "It's a vivid symbol ... of what's so very wrong with elite Washington journalism." There is something wrong with an event that, as Reider says, "underscores the notion that journalists are part of a wealthy elite." But the bigger problem is that it underscores the perception that the press is part of a power elite more interested in retaining its perks and status than in subjecting other members of this exclusive club to serious and squirm-inducing scrutiny.

In this easy recipe, pineapple bursts with flavor when grilled and the ginger cream adds a zippy finish.
Fruits offer a host of nutrients including vitamin C to accompany their great taste. Be sure to get at least 2 to 3 servings of fruit daily.
Purchasing pineapple have you in prickles? A ripe pineapple should have a sweet pineapple fragrance at the bottom of the fruit, and there should be no soft spots.
To each his own! Pass separate bowls of sour cream, brown sugar, ginger and cherries. Everybody gets as much of whatever they want, and it saves you the mixing step!

Are You (or Should You Be) Worried About Your Firm's Trust Accounts? What You Need to Know to Get a Good Night's Sleep
R. James Robbins, Jr.
Hill Ward Henderson, Tampa
Margaret A. (Peggy ) Williams
Attorneys' Title Fund Services, Orlando
Did you read The Florida Bar vs. Rousso? Do you know what this case is about and its implications? Do you know of the serious penalties that you as an attorney and your law firm face for failing to properly operate and monitor your law firm's trust accounts and accounting personnel? Do you know what your duties are? Are you willing to run the risk of disbarment for failing to comply? The answer to the first 4 questions should be yes, and the last answer should be no (of course). It is imperative that all attorneys understand the legal and ethical implications involving the operation of law firm trust accounts, and this recent case and various others highlight the tremendous importance of this issue. Join Peggy Williams and Jim Robbins as they present "Are You (or Should You Be) Worried About Your Firm's Trust Accounts? What You Need to Know to Get a Good Night's Sleep" on Wednesday, June 12th from 12:00-1:00 EDT. They will discuss the ethical rules involving the handling of trust funds, what can and cannot be properly done, the lessons learned from Rousso and other cases, and the need for proper supervision of law firm employees who handle trust monies or have responsibility for firm accounting.

Have 6 month old BFL. Obedience is solid so trying to enter into force fetch. Have been working on hold for almost 2 weeks now with no success !!
Typical pattern in that you put bumper in mouth and say hold and she spits it out !!
Tried holding collar and praising with bumper in mouth but spits it out
Tried tapping under chin - helps a little - but the split second you try to say good girl she spits it out
Tried holding muzzle and bottom jaw but as soon as you let up she spits it out !!
Nothing seems to get her to understand hold means hold it !! Any Suggestions ??
Or maybe go ahead and move on to force fetch ??

Of him sleeping with the wives of several people on the board of directors @ Alabama? Probably won't see those, it is happening though. No different than while he was @ LSU.
the sad part is that the members of the board volunteered their wives for the duty. the really sad part is how much saban charged the individual board members to watch! the really really sad part is the board members who got turned down for the opportunity and were subsequently let go 'cause they ol' ladies wuz so oooogly????

As I sit here counting down the last few minutes before the second half of my root canal I couldn't help but reflect on unpleasant experiences to compare it to. The one that seemed to just jump out at me was my HRC Grand experience.
Folks, I've been to the Grand and I'm going back again! I'm a glutton for punishment. If I can handle two trips to the dentist (who shall remain unnamed) and endure the agony and pure torture that is involved in a root canal then I can handle two trips to the Grand.
My next trip to the Grand will be with with my two puppies M.J. and Norma. They are both less than a year old so I probably won't be at the "Big Show" until the Spring of 2015. Hopefully with two arrows in my quiver maybe I will get to see a mark this time!
I'm gonna get all high tech and broadcast the entire event live via GoPro, wireless mic, or some sort of covert surveillance equipment. Heck I'm all giddy just thinking about it! If you're there look me up and we can socialize in the gallery, I will be the one dressed head to toe in Camo Booty.

Astronomers have discovered the largest known structure in the universe, a clump of active galactic cores that stretches 4 billion light-years from end to end.
The structure is a large quasar group (LQG), a collection of extremely luminous galactic nuclei powered by supermassive central black holes. This particular group is so large that it challenges modern cosmological theory, researchers said.
Quasars are the brightest objects in the universe. For decades, astronomers have known that they tend to assemble in huge groups, some of which are more than 600 million light-years wide.
But the record-breaking quasar group, which Clowes and his team spotted in data gathered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, is on another scale altogether. The newfound LQC is composed of 73 quasars and spans about 1.6 billion light-years in most directions, though it is 4 billion light-years across at its widest point.
To put that mind-boggling size into perspective, the disk of the Milky Way galaxy home of Earth's solar system is about 100,000 light-years wide. And the Milky Way is separated from its nearest galactic neighbor, Andromeda, by about 2.5 million light-years.

I think this is the stuff they should start auditing! Talk about rampant fraud.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) overpaid between $11.6 billion and $13.6 billion in tax credits designed to help low-income families in fiscal 2012 , the Treasury Department announced in a report released Monday.
The overpayments account for 21 percent to 25 percent of the tax credits issued under the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), the IRS estimated.

Winners will serve the final three years of the four-year terms.
The Senate runoff is between optometrist David Parker of Olive Branch and first-term state Rep. Pat Nelson of Southaven.
The House runoff is between Marshall County planning board member Bill Kinkade of Byhalia and contractor Jeremy Bryan of Barton.

Resolutions: Try, try again key to success in new yearJanuary 9, 2014 6:20 AM
As Americans, we are locked in a common struggle to constantly better ourselves, our lives and our circumstances. And whether it's losing weight, living healthier, or saving money, Americans seem to be eternal optimists.
Yet, as we tuck away the Christmas tinsel and settle in to the new year, our willpower begins waning and those resolutions we were so determined to make just last week are becoming more difficult to maintain.
But fear not, experts say, because with a little perseverance, you can get through the challenges and reach the goals you set for yourself this new year.
Those who begin resolutions on Jan. 1 "are 10 times more likely to change" than those who have not set dated goals, said John Norcross, a University of Scranton psychology professor and author who, for more than three decades, has studied what makes people keep — and fail at — resolutions. He also recently penned "Changeology: 5 Steps to Realizing your Goals and Resolutions," a book about ways to succeed at resolutions.
One of the common denominators among those who achieve their resolutions, Mr. Norcross said, is planning.
"They are more prepared. They think through it and once into the new year, they engage in a bunch of skills," he said. In addition, he said, successful resolvers are more likely to reward themselves for staying on track and to surround themselves with helpful people and environments.
In an oft-cited 2012 study of New Year's resolutions, Mr. Norcross found that 45 percent of Americans make some kind of resolution, and 47 percent of those resolutions revolve around self-improvement or education-related goals. Another 38 percent resolve to get healthier, while 34 percent have specific money-related resolutions, and 31 percent are trying to improve their relationships in some way.
But in the end, only 8 percent of those people are successful. The data gathered by Mr. Norcross shows that most resolvers stick it out for the first few months — 15 percent drop out after the first week — but numbers tend to stay stable until six months in, when only 16 percent are maintaining their resolution goals. It goes down from there.
The No. 1 New Year's resolution for Americans is to lose weight. Living healthier in general is also among the top priorities, and Pittsburghers are no exception to those resolutions, one fitness expert said.
"People just want to start out the year healthy and on the right foot," said Peggy Gregor, group fitness director at Healthtrax Fitness & Wellness Center in Bethel Park.
Membership at the center, which has been in business since 1979, spikes by as much as 25 percent in January, Ms. Gregor said.
"Usage ebbs and flows throughout the year, but January is definitely our busy month," she said.
Many fitness centers offer special membership deals around the start of the new year, but the real challenge is keeping those clients on track as muscles begin to ache and other priorities beckon, Ms. Gregor said.
"We actually are very good at retaining those numbers, but we do tend to see a drop off in overall participation starting around March," she said.
To keep clients motivated, Ms. Gregor said, the staff works with them to establish simple, easy-to-define goals, such as working out twice a week and perhaps using a personal trainer. Goals can be expanded as clients begin to feel successful.
"I tend to see people who have never exercised before get discouraged because they want instant gratification," she said. "They overdo it. They feel like they have to do everything at once. They get burned out."
Go slowly, Ms. Gregor said, and start off with exercises you enjoy — such as group dance or fitness classes. Variety is a good way to ease boredom, and teaming up with a workout buddy also helps encourage participation.
"When people find their niche, that tends to keep them working out," Ms. Gregor said.
Perhaps most importantly, Ms. Gregor said, don't get discouraged by occasional bumps in the road.
"Everybody falls off the wagon, so to speak," she said. "The longer you stay away, the harder it is to get back on track."
Mr. Norcross said the response to a slip-up is the biggest factor between those who succeed at resolutions and those who don't.
"Only when it comes to behavior change are people so grandiose to think that just one attempt will do it," said Mr. Norcross, who noted that a person wouldn't be expected to learn calculus or how to play the piano in just one try.
About 71 percent of the successful resolvers studied by Mr. Norcross reported using their first failure as a way to strengthen their resolve, while others used it as an excuse to give up.
"It isn't the slip itself, it's the response to the slip," said Mr. Norcross, who has succeeded personally in exercise resolutions using his methods.
Wexford therapist Mary Van Osdol agreed.
"I think what happens is people tend to have this all-or-nothing mentality," she said. "When we think about change, we tend to go to radical departures from our regular behavior," such as working out every day or losing a great deal of weight.
"Resolutions are great, they give us something to aim for, but they need to be small, attainable tasks," Ms. Van Osdol said.
She also recommends staggering goals, such as losing 5 pounds, then, if successful, raising the goal to 10 pounds, or working out one extra day per week. Even very small, incremental changes to daily routine, such as parking slightly farther away from work or the store, or walking a golf course instead of using a cart, can make a difference, she said.
"These are attainable things that keep people in the momentum," Ms. Van Osdol said. "Who among us doesn't want to feel like even in small ways we are moving forward in change?"
Ms. Van Osdol also urges her clients to continually reward themselves in small ways to stay motivated — with "little pockets of joy" — and to surround themselves with a support network.
And, she recommends getting back on that horse if you fall.
"Each day is a new opportunity," she said. "It's never too late to have a good day."
