Lindsay to discuss evangelicals and the elite
Posted February 27, 2008; 10:23 p.m.
Sociologist D. Michael Lindsay will deliver a lecture based on his recent book, "Faith in the Halls of Power: How Evangelicals Joined the American Elite," at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 4, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Lindsay, who earned his Ph.D. from Princeton in 2006, is an assistant professor of sociology at Rice University who specializes in issues surrounding leadership, religion and culture.
As a graduate student at Princeton, Lindsay conducted the largest and most comprehensive study on the significance of faith in the lives of America's societal leaders -- interviewing more than 350 people, including two U.S. presidents, many high-ranking Cabinet officials, numerous CEOs, and a cadre of Hollywood producers and other cultural leaders. Based on those interviews, Lindsay wrote "Faith in the Halls of Power," which discusses how evangelicals -- once at the periphery of American life -- now wield power from the White House to Wall Street to Hollywood.
Lindsay's work has garnered multiple awards, including top honors from two international scholarly societies.
The event is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Center for the Study of Religion as part of the "Crossroads of Religion and Politics" series.

Today is the first official day of the Dolphins' 2011 Training Camp and while the team will be restricted to classrooms and meeting rooms (thanks to the new CBA), there's still plenty to discuss on both sides of the ball.
Continuing our series of training camp previews, I'm going to focus on the defensive backfield. There are some big names in the Fins' secondary, but also a role or two potentially up for grabs.
In the interest of full disclosure: I have HUGE expectations for Sean Smith this season. Like Pro Bowl, double-digit interception type expectations. Last season, the defense's biggest flaw, by far, was their inability to create turnovers, and Smith was one of the reasons why. While he had nine passes defensed in 2010, he had just one interception and dropped several more. The main point, though, is that he was in position and so this year I expect him to be able to take the next step and not leave all that cheddar on the field. So with Smith on one side, and the almost-superstar Vontae Davis on the other, this unit is set up nicely. Of course, you have to add Will Allen to the mix (back from injured reserve), who may push Smith for a starting spot and at the very least will provide depth and flexibility (see safeties section below). Benny Sapp and Nolan Carroll round out the meat of the group and both are significant players in the unit.
As far as I'm concerned, you're all set at strong safety. Yeremiah Bell is as solid as they come and can still provide everything you need. Free safety, on the other hand, is the training camp battle I am most looking forward to. The incumbent, Chris Clemons, is solid, but will be challenged by Reshad Jones, the second year man out of Georgia. The wildcard is Jonathon Amaya, who is well respected by head coach Tony Sparano.
As for the aforementioned flexibility, don't forget that defensive coordinator Mike Nolan used Sean Smith at safety a little bit last year. If Will Allen stays healthy, there's no reason the 6'3 Smith can't be moved back to that position to show opposing offenses something a little different. The Fins experimented some with a three-safety look last year and I imagine that Nolan's only scratched the surface when it comes to all of that.
Key Battles to Watch
Free Safety: Will Chris Clemons keep his job? Will Reshad Jones unseat him? Will someone else be brought in?
Cornerback: If Sean Smith has a slow start to camp, does Will Allen move into the starting spot opposite Vontae Davis?

"Don't let school get in the way of your education."
-Mark Twain
This is a quote I have been thinking about when considering how much work (Employment for a salary) I should do while attending school. I think it's important because it doesn't say "school is bad" (though that implication might immediately come to mind). In fact, the statement simply implies that there are times when school restricts rather than furnishes opportunities for education.

Comcast Business
Every day more than 50,000 employees at Comcast work to deliver fast, reliable and respectful service to our 24 million customers. Our customers have high expectations of us, and that's why we have even higher expectations of ourselves. Two programs, the Bow Tie Awards and the Circle of Success Awards, recognize our employees who are putting our customers first every day.
We'll feature some of them here, so check back regularly to meet some of these outstanding employees.
Read a few examples of how our employees are constantly working to provide the best experience for customers every day.
Jared, Customer Account Executive (Utah)Jared, a Bow Tie Award recipient, goes the extra mile each and every time he speaks with a customer.
"I try to find out what the customer's needs are, and tailor fit our products and services to best benefit them," says Jared. Jared asks probing questions so he can understand exactly what it is the customer needs him to do for them. The customer always comes first for him, and utilizing the Customer Guarantee empowers him to focus on the customer and lets the customer know that we really do think of them first.
Greg, Technician (Beltway region)The support of a good team and the leadership of Greg's supervisor have helped him deliver a positive and superior customer experience.
Greg believes his best practice is communicating and educating the customer so that they feel confident with their new services. An example of Greg's exemplary work occurred when a family was in the middle of a natural disaster. The customer came into Greg's Comcast office and begged the office to send a tech out so that they could watch the news on their TV. Greg was sent to install their cable. After arriving to the home to a crying customer - Greg assured the customer that he would have their services up in no time. Fifteen minutes later, the customer had their service and could not stop thanking him.
Carrie, Customer Account Executive (Pennsylvania)Carrie assisted an elderly customer who was frustrated that a Comcast technician could not fix her electrical problem since it was a job that required an electrician. While still on the phone with the customer, Carrie visited the Philadelphia Corporation for the Aging web site and filled out an online application form to have an electrician dispatched to the customer's home for free. Carrie then asked the customer if it would be okay to call her back while Carrie was on break to see if there was anything else she might be able to help take care of. Carrie recognized that this customer was in need of support and took it upon herself to bring the customer groceries the next day before work. Carrie went above and beyond to put this customer first and help her any way she could.
Brian, Technician (Utah)Brian imagines himself as the customer each time he goes out to a job.
"If you put yourself in the customer's shoes, it makes a big difference," Adam says. "Because I know the ins and outs, I can suggest where to put things the customer may not have thought of." He believes the little extras can go a long way. "There are lots of things are customers may not know about," says Adam. "I check everything before I leave a house, even if the customer wouldn't necessarily notice. That hopefully prevents us from having to go back out in the future, which keeps the customer happy."

Broken In
Took the new vessel on Staurday on my home waters of the Hudson to break her in and she performed like a dream. Very Very dry! What a relief. She has a little hull slap and pounds just a little but all in all it was a great day cruising her up the river. Monday morning however was not so nice. We went out of Norwalk to try for some bluefish but after 3-5 footers in the harbor and when we finaly made it out into the sound we were greeted by 4-6 footers and the occasional larger rollers, we decided that we should turn around and head back before we got ourselves into a predicament. Despite the crap weather the boat handled the weather fine. I found that the boat was more comfortable in the slop than I was ( a good thing I guess ). No need to ruin a holliday weekend with an injury or a damaged boat. I will be back to fight another day when the weather and tides are in my favor.
That is always the case when fishing from a boat in sloppy weather, the boat usually never complains but the occupants don't handle it nearly as well. I know this first hand as before I got my 20 ft. CC I fished out of a 16 ft. Tin boat that always handled the seas fine but I always got beat up pretty good. The new boat definitely makes things alot more comfortable but even on days like Saturday you get beat up pretty good in a bigger boat. You would have needed a 30 + ft. boat this weekend and even then it would have been advisable to stay home. Don't fret better days are coming and you will really get to love that new boat of your's guaranteed. Maybe we can hookup for a double trailer expedition to the eastern sections of the sound to search for the elusive hardtail's. Let me know if you are interested I can show you around the areas that have been real good in the past and are starting to heat up now.
Mike M.
Sounds like a great idea! I was talking with my partner ( he owns half the boat but I use it 90% of the time ) and we may sneak a day off of work to go. Unfortunately the GPS and Sonar will not be here until next week or so ( back ordered ). Figures. We have a handheld one to use in the meantime but no sonar. Give me a hollar and let me know when you plan on taking your next run. I was thinking a weekday to avoid the weekend warriors and morons that love plowing through the schools at 60mph thinking that will get them to hook up. If not I will wear my Armored Suit and hope that most people stay home that weekend.
Congrat's - I saw an 18 - 20' MS out there this weekend and they were floating over the 4-5' waves like a cork, looked to be keepin' pretty dry.
Have fun!

German Blue Ram Aggression Issues
So despite being in the hobby for quite a while I've managed to avoid keeping cichlid's until just now. Last week I saw a pair of GBR (German Blue Rams) at my LFS and couldn't resist.
I've added the male/female pair to my 43 gallon that's quite well established. The water quality is flawless and it is a community tank with 10 Neon Tetras, 5 Red Minor Tetra, 4 Peppered Cory, and 2 Oto cats.
The issue that I'm having is that the male has become extremely aggressive. They've only been in a few days but there are PLENTY of caves (non of which they are inhabiting which is worrying as well) and it's a very densely planted aquarium. I've also made sure they got food during feeding times since they feed so much slower than the other fish. So I'm just not sure why the male has become so aggressive.
The female is perfectly fine and normal. Interacts with the other fish just fine. The male has gotten progressively worse though, he now even chases off the Cory cats from his side of the tank.
Is there anything I can do to calm down the little fellow? I've always heard GBR are extremely good in community tanks.
GBR's really don't need / like caves (from my experience), but give it some time. He is just staking his territory out and you should be fine. I don't see any conflicts with the GBRs in your current stock
Pretty normal I think. He will likely calm down once territory has been established. Dont see issues with your other fish like Hardy pointed out.Check out my 55 Gallon, planted, Philly themed community tank! Rummynose and Cardinals, dwarf cichlids, plecos, shrimps
I agree with previous members. Cichlids after all are just that--cichlids. Males are territorial. However, this can be signs of trouble.
Is this a bonded pair, or just a male and female from the tank?
And I see another pending issue, the "red minor" tetra. This is Hyphessobrycon eques, also called the Serpae Tetra, and a known fin nipper. It should be in a larger group, no less than 8 though many suggest 10+. And be careful with the rams here; the tetra is prone to fin nip sedate fish, such as the rams. I personally would suggest removing this tetra. A better tankmate all around, with the similar reddish colouration, would be the Rosy Tetra or Roberti Tetra, in a group of 7.

Something we all need to remember: The fish you've acquired was quite happy not being owned by you, minding its own business. If youre going to take it under your wing then youre responsible for it. Every aspect of its life is under your control, from water quality and temperature to swimming space. [Nathan Hill in PFK]
First off let me just say thank you for all your replies.
They are not a bonded pair. They are so young that I'm not sure they are sexually mature. I am told they are a little less than 2 months old. Their color seems to verify this as does my research on what they should look like at this age. However, I can't seem to find any specific time frames for them to mature (I've found people saying anything from 2 and a half months to 5 months). So I'm not sure when the bonding process will occur...if ever...for these particular fish.
I realize that getting a bonded pair would have been better. But none had bonded by the time I rolled into my LFS.
As for the Red Minor's...I'm aware of their fin nippery (Nippery should be a word -- though it is not). This particular group was a "rescue" from a neighbors 5 gallon tank (the tank was waaaaay overloaded).
I've been negligent in getting them tank mates. You're right, they need a bigger group.
These five have been very passive though and I've seen no fin nipping from them. I may have gotten lucky with their personality.
I've no idea as to the age at which the fish become mature or sexually active, but I would suggest that the actions of your one fish, the male, would suggest he is. The second fish might be another male, which will certainly not last long from your description of what is happening now, or it may be a female who is not welcomed by the male (in which case she too is in for a rough ride and quite possibly death). The best way to get a pair is either to observe them in the store tank (bonded pairs are easily recognizable) or acquire a small group and allow a pair to (hopefully) form.
As for the Serpae, this does happen. But as others on here have said, things can suddenly change. I just don't like putting my fish at risk, so I tend to assume the normal rather than hope for the abnormal. The irritation to other fish caused by any bully in a closed aquarium is very substantial, and this weakens the fish.

Just thought I'd give an update. The male ram has calmed down dramatically and has now begun to hang out with the female. No more aggression, no more territorial nature for the moment (No more territorial than is typical that is).
The Serpae Tetras have been moved to another tank and I've increased their school size to 10.
Excellent. Sounds like things are going well now.

Maternal cocaine use during breastfeeding
Alex M. Cressman, M.Sc., Gideon Koren, MD, FRCPC, FACMT, Anna Pupco, MD, Eunji Kim, MScCH, Shinya Ito, MD, FRCPC and Pina Bozzo
November 2012
In my practice several patients have struggled with cocaine abuse during their pregnancies. One woman, now postpartum, wants to breastfeed her infant. Despite being abstinent for the final few months of her pregnancy, I am concerned about the potential adverse effects on her child if she happens to relapse. What is the current evidence about the risks of cocaine exposure during breastfeeding?
Given the substantial benefits of breastfeeding for infant health and development, there is no reason for mothers who previously abused cocaine to avoid breastfeeding. It is important for the health care team to counsel patients both on the serious potential risks of cocaine exposure for babies and on the benefits of breastfeeding, to allow for an informed choice. Additionally, attempts should be made to estimate maternal commitment to breastfeeding and discontinuation of cocaine use, and to offer addiction counseling to mitigate the potential risks of infant cocaine exposure. It is paramount to minimize the risk to the infant, which would certainly include mothers ceasing use of cocaine while breastfeeding. For mothers who elect to breastfeed and use cocaine intermittently, breastfeeding should be delayed sufficiently after cocaine use to allow for drug elimination (approximately 24 hours).
Dans ma pratique, je compte quelques patientes qui étaient aux prises avec une dépendance à la cocaïne durant leur grossesse. L'une d'entre elle, qui vient d'accoucher, veut allaiter son bébé. Malgré son abstinence durant les derniers mois de sa grossesse, je m'inquiète des effets néfastes potentiels si elle récidivait. Quelles sont les données scientifiques actuelles concernant les risques d'une exposition à la cocaïne durant l'allaitement?
Étant donné les bienfaits considérables de l'allaitement maternel pour la santé et le développement des nourrissons, il n'y a pas de raison que les mères qui ont antérieurement abusé de la cocaïne évitent d'allaiter. Il importe que l'équipe de soins de santé conseille les patientes à la fois sur les risques potentiels graves de l'exposition à la cocaïne pour l'enfant et sur les bienfaits de l'allaitement, afin qu'elles fassent un choix éclairé. De plus, il faut tenter d'évaluer à quel point la mère a la volonté d'allaiter et de cesser de consommer de la cocaïne, et offrir du counseling en toxicomanie pour atténuer les risques éventuels d'une exposition du nourrisson à la cocaïne. Il est primordial de diminuer les risques pour le nourrisson, ce qui inclut certainement la cessation par la mère de prendre de la cocaïne pendant qu'elle allaite. Pour les mères qui décident d'allaiter et de consommer de la cocaïne par intermittence, il faut qu'elles attendent suffisamment de temps après en avoir pris pour permettre l'élimination de la drogue (environ 24 heures) avant d'allaiter leur bébé.
Cocaine is a fast-acting and highly addictive central nervous system stimulant that acts on the sympathetic arm of the autonomic nervous system, in addition to the dopaminergic (reward) and other neurotransmitter systems within the brain. It is thought to elicit its rewarding and psychotropic properties via blockade of the transporter responsible for dopamine recovery from the synapse, leading to increased dopaminergic stimulation in critical brain "reward" sites. 1 In this way, cocaine produces both systemic and psychotropic pharmacologic effects, including increased heart rate and blood pressure, improved performance on tasks of vigilance and alertness, and a sense of euphoria, confidence, and well-being. 1 Cocaine is most often abused intra-nasally, where a portion of the dose is also absorbed orally following swallowing of mucus; but it can also be smoked and inhaled, or injected. Cocaine use is associated with many substantial health problems, including increased risk of contracting infectious disease, malnourishment, gastrointestinal complications, and acute cardiovascular events (eg, stroke, myocardial infarctions, myocardial arrhythmias), which might affect both maternal and infant health. 2, 3
An estimated 5% to 10% of pregnant women in North America abuse cocaine, 4, 5 and some of these women might wish to breastfeed their infants. The benefits of breastfeeding for both baby and mother are numerous and have been established in various studies. 6 These include, but are certainly not limited to, reduction of infant and lifelong morbidity and mortality, enhanced cognitive function, decreased risk of immunologically mediated diseases, and enhanced maternal-infant bonding. 6 Further, breastfeeding has been shown to have benefits for long-term maternal health, including reduction in the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and breast and ovarian cancers. 6
Given the advantages of breastfeeding, infants of low socioeconomic status might particularly benefit from being breastfed. This presents a difficult clinical situation. It is paramount for the health care team to balance the risks and benefitsto maximize the potential benefits to the baby from breastfeeding, but to limit the substantial risks from potential infant cocaine exposure.
There are limited reports about the measurement of cocaine in breast milk following maternal intranasal use; however, given its physicochemical properties (pKa of approximately 8.6), it is expected that cocaine present in the maternal systemic circulation would pass into the breast milk in meaningful amounts and exhibit a high milk-to-plasma ratio. 7, 8 Cocaine present in the breast milk would then be absorbed orally to a limited degree by the breastfeeding infant, as it is typically broken down in the gut, and the infant might be exposed to limited amounts of the drug. 7-9 However, given that the metabolic capacity to metabolize and clear drugs such as cocaine is not fully developed in neonates, 10 exposure to small doses of cocaine could persist and cause considerable harm.
Few reports exist that have examined the effects of cocaine use during breastfeeding on infant outcomes. Reports show substantial variability in the level of cocaine detected in breast milk, 9, 11, 12 which might represent methodologic issues in cocaine detection, considerable interindividual variability in cocaine pharmacokinetics, or important differences in levels of cocaine use. Sporadic adverse effects, including seizures, hypertension, tachycardia, agitation, and irritability, have been reported in infants after exposure to cocaine by ingestion when applied to the nipple as a local anesthetic 13 and by ingestion via breast milk. 79
Given the important benefits of breastfeeding for infant and maternal health, 6 the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada recommends that the decision to breastfeed be made on an individual basis after discussing and weighing the benefits of breast-feeding and the potential risks of infant cocaine exposure with the patient. 14 For addicted mothers who elect to breastfeed but continue to use cocaine intermittently, breastfeeding should be delayed sufficiently after cocaine use to allow for drug elimination (approximately 24 hours). 10, 15 Topical application of cocaine to the nipples is dangerous and contraindicated during breast-feeding. 15 Furthermore, women who are regular cocaine users should be provided with concurrent addiction counseling, 16 be encouraged to remain abstinent while nursing, and be provided with sufficient information about the increased risks of adverse neonatal effects (eg, seizures, tachycardia, and irritability). In selected cases cocaine can be measured in milk and, when clinically indicated (eg, suspected adverse effect), also in neonatal blood. 16 Further, because cocaine use has been associated with a higher incidence of HIV infection, 17 and those with HIV infection in developed countries are advised not to breastfeed, 18 it is important to be aware of the serologic status of these women.

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:A Scary Rumor
Okay, still no confirmation other than more rumors flying around the Internet. I e-mailed the WDFW with questions regarding if this is true and what their methodology is for run size estimate--if what I hear is correct, they are basing this year's projected numbers on depressed runs the last two years. Of course, this--as we all know--is a faulty method due to fluctuations in both ocean and post-spawn river conditions. I also called our Region 4 biologist and left a message, but have yet to get a response from either contact. I will let you guys know if I find anything out, and please post any info you might have here. This is something we should all be concerned about. Thanks for your help.
RE:A Scary Rumor
Hmmm... I'm so out of touch being out here now. Wonder if it has to do with census taking offshore, or if there was a corresponding low in the smolt year for the majority of this returning class. Is there a link to the native endangered status that is restricting some of the columbia tribs?
I have a couple friends who work for WA as state biologists... let me see if I can find contact info...
A Scary Rumor
Hey guys, I hope this is just a false alarm, but maybe someone out there knows more about it. I hear that there may be an emergency closure of the Skykomish, Snoqualmie and Stilly this spring--as in, no catch and release season for wild steelhead in March and April. Anyway, like I said, no confirmation on this yet, but if it's true, we need to find out why and what we can do about it. I don't want to freak anybody out, but I'm a little worried just thinking about it. Anybody else heard about this?

Geocaching is a world-wide, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location with the help of a few basic clues. Geocaching is an excellent activity for people of all ages; everyone loves a good treasure hunt!
We have a full Geocaching Kit available to rent, which includes a GPS unit with a huge assortment of caches (treasures) pre-programmed, as well as print outs of all 41 geocaches hidden in the area and helpful maps. We'll teach you how to use the GPS unit, and what to do when you find your first geocache. We'll also help you set up your own free geocaching account so you can log your finds and continue the treasure hunt when you return home from your vacation. There are geocaches all over the world, and there is even one aboard the International Space Station!
The local Geocaches are organized into five areas:
Corduroy Brook Pond Nature Reserve
Corduroy Brook Pond Nature Reserve is perfect for a family getaway any time of year. This pristine reserve is located in Grand Falls-Windsor just 20km east of the chalets, and is home to 15 separate geocaches!
TransCanada Highway/Trail Caches
If you're looking for something to do on your way to or from town, why not try the TransCanada Highway/Trail caches? There are 6 caches hidden along the highway in some very unique and beautiful locations!
Exploits River Water Caches
If you're looking to combine a great day on the river with a fun day of treasure hunting, you should consider trying the Exploits River water caches! There are 7 caches hidden on the remote shoreline or on the ruggedly beautiful islands along our self-guided canoe/kayak tour
Badger Caches
In the little community of Badger just 10km west of us you can find 6 geocaches scattered throughout town and along the Exploits River. You could drive to Badger, take your quad/ATV, or rent one of our mountain bikes and make an adventure out of it!
Geocaching: FREE! Optional Kit Rental: $20
(prices include applicable taxes)

Whenever a major economic development project is announced, it's accompanied by a list of state and local financial incentives designed to sweeten the pot.
That was the case last week when Gov. Phil Bryant and others revealed that Yokohama Tire Co. would build a manufacturing plant near West Point that will employ 500 in the first phase and eventually could provide up to 2,000 jobs.
Bryant called the Legislature into session, where $130 million in direct incentives as well as significant tax breaks were approved in a couple of hours. The incentives package also includes local tax abatements. Legislators approved the incentives overwhelmingly.
In a perfect world, public assistance to lure jobs-bearing companies wouldn't be necessary. But the reality is that without such incentives, Mississippi would never land the kinds of projects that are producing well-paying, long-term jobs and, ultimately, spinoff business activity that will more than make up for the tax breaks provided.
It's how the game is played. If you want to be in it, you have to offer incentives.
In Mississippi, success has begot success as one project after another demonstrates the state workforce's capacity to deliver for the companies that choose to locate here. Toyota and before it Nissan are only two of the most obvious examples.
Few places needed the economic shot-in-the-arm the Japanese tiremaker will bring more than Clay County, whose unemployment rate in excess of 18 percent is the state's highest. The governor, the Mississippi Development Authority and local officials who worked on the project can take special satisfaction in that.
The status of Cooper Tire, an employer of 1,300 at its Tupelo plant, arose during Friday's special session when Lee County Reps. Steve Holland and Brian Aldridge unsuccessfully sought a sales tax break for Cooper similar to the one Yokohama will get. MDA said it's aware of Cooper's needs and there could be another special session to deal with them, which would represent a nod of appreciation and support to a valuable long-term employer.
Today, Clay County and the region will officially mark the Yokohama announcement with a public celebration in West Point. It should be a happy day for the county, the region and the state as whole.

A child of the North Carolina mountains, Lynnette Kent seems destined to find herself living anywhere but the mountains. Her family moved to Florida when she was nine, inspiring her with a lifelong love of the ocean and a long day spent at the beach. After marrying a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, she moved with him to Nashville, Tennessee, while he attended medical school and from there to Virginia, California, and Washington, D.C.
Along the way Lynnette and her husband were blessed with two lovely daughters, Elizabeth and Rebecca, and two different sets of dogs—cocker spaniels Prudence and Chloe, and their successors, miniature dachshunds Schultz and Dooley.
Now settled pretty permanently in eastern North Carolina, Lynnette tries to remember that mountain flowers don't grow well in the heat of a Sandhills summer, that fall isn't an abrupt change of season but a gentle, lingering evolution, and that winter without snow can be
well, endured.
Involved with several local music groups, she plays bassoon for the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra and directs a children's choir at her church. Girl Scouts have been a part of her life for 12 years now, and she remains the leader for her younger daughter's Cadet troop, emphasizing outdoor education and adventure.
Contrary to her husband's preference for nice hotels, Lynnette would rather sleep in a tent than a bed, and would rather rake leaves than vacuum carpet. And she'd rather spend more time writing romance than raking or vacuuming. Or, for that matter, sleeping!

Yes, this is serious and REAL.
JJ Abrams admitted he is a lens flare addict and is in a step-program to moderate his use of lens flares.
No this is not a joke.
His wife is his real-life sponsor and he has admitted that Star Trek: Into the Darkness is probably so much more loved than it would have been if his wife didn't make him take out lens flares from an early (never seen) cut that he originally had made because his wife "couldn't see what was going on."
By now you all have seen Spock fight Khan (or quit complaining about spoilers - the movie was out last summer!).
JJ thought that instead of seeing that, they could shoot the scene and then add a giant lens flare to it so you couldn't tell what was happening. Then Spock would emerge victorious from the lens flare.
This is also true, I've been reading up on this.
So it is my greatest hope that Mrs. Abrams will save Star Wars!
Vader: "Your lens flare is weak Old Man."
Kenobi: "You can't win Darth. If you strike me down, my lens flare will become more powerful than you could possibly achieve with CGI."
Vader: "You should just flare out!"

Daily Journal
OXFORD – Phillip Irwin, moving up a day in the rotation because of a stomach virus for regular Game 1 starter Drew Pomeranz, shook off a tough third inning Friday night, and No. 15 Ole Miss rallied past Kentucky 4-3 before an announced crowd of 7,977 at Swayze Field.
Evan Button's RBI single in a two-run eighth gave Ole Miss (20-8, 6-4 SEC) its fourth come-from-behind win of the week. Game 2 in the SEC series is at 4 p.m. today.
Irwin, a junior right-hander, didn't know he'd be pitching until a little more than an hour before game time. He responded by scattering seven hits with seven strikeouts and no walks in eight innings.
"I wanted to go back for the ninth, but I knew when Jake went in we'd be fine. He's been outstanding all year," Irwin said.
Jake Morgan was outstanding again with strikeouts against each of the three batters he faced in the bottom of the ninth. Morgan picked up his second save and has 35 strikeouts in 191/3 innings this season.
With such short notice Irwin was unable to go through his normal starting-day rituals of relaxation, a movie and music on the Ipod.
"But once you saw him in the first inning you knew he was going to be OK," Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco said.
It was in the third inning when that confidence waned. Irwin left some curve balls up in the strike zone, and Kentucky (18-10, 4-6) got RBI hits from Andy Burns and Gunner Glad.
Ole Miss, meanwhile, failed to scratch in its first four innings against Alex Meyer, a right-handed freshman. Meyer had his longest outing of the year, going 61/3. He had struggled with control previously but walked just one batter and struck out a career-high 10.
Ole Miss got on the board in the fifth when Jordan Henry, who had three hits, singled home Matt Smith with two outs.
The Rebels made it 3-2 on Zach Miller's solo home run in the seventh.
Logan Power led off the eighth with a single against Kentucky reliever Tyler Henry. Two batters later pinch-hitter Taylor Hashman walked against Logan Darnell, third pitcher.
With runners at first and second, Smith's ground ball was field by Burns at third base, whose poor throw to second allowed Power to score and tie the game.
Button singled on the first pitch from Braden Kapteyn, and Hashman scored the decisive run.
"Meyer really clamped down on us, but Phillip matched him pitch-for-pitch except for the third inning," Bianco said. "We didn't get off many good swings in the middle innings, but in the later innings we started to catch up with him."

Toyota Prius Becomes Top Selling Vehicle in California
Brandon Hill
January 23, 2013 11:20 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Ford's F-Series only manges seventh place
The Prius is often the butt of automotive jokes for its oddball styling, pokey acceleration, and tree-hugging persona, but it appears that Toyota is having the last laugh -- at least in California. When the sales numbers were tallied up for 2012, the Prius reigned supreme as the best-selling vehicle in California with 60,688 units sold. In fact, over one-quarter of all
sold in the United States for 2012 were purchased in California.
Economical cars from Toyota and Honda made up the top five sold cars in California with the Civic, Camry, Accord, and Corolla taking second, third, fourth, and fifth place respectively. The
Ford F-Series
, which is the best-selling vehicle for the entire United States, only managed to place seventh on the sales list in California.
Toyota's Prius is rated at 51/48/50 (city/highway/combined), which makes it a perfect fit for California's congested highways.
"Environmental consciousness and changing trends are large contributors," said Peter Welch, Chief Executive of the California New Car Dealers Association. "Eight years ago everyone was driving sport utilities and trucks, now it's almost trendy to drive a fuel-efficient hybrid or plug-in."
Toyota's Prius may be sitting high on its throne right now, but there are plenty of challengers to its hybrid dominance. Volkswagen is looking to win over some consumers who aren't sold on its
TDI diesel engines
with the
Jetta Hybrid
, and Ford has two competent hybrids -- the Fusion Hybrid and the C-MAX -- in its stable that promise 47 mpg combined (although
real world results
suggest otherwise).
All three of the aforementioned models achieve lofty fuel economy numbers with conventional styling that is more appealing to the masses.

Seven girls from the Beauty and the Bike project are this week visiting Bremen to experience cycling in a cycle-friendly environment. The project has been running in Darlington for almost a year. It is documenting, via video and photography, the reasons why teenage girls typically stop cycling in the UK, but continue in cycling-friendly countries.
The girls are documenting their trip on video on a daily basis. You can catch their vblogs at the Beauty and the Bike site, www.bikebeauty.org, or on the project's youtube channel. Or watch one of the videos right here.

Darlington Girls visit Bremen

Sounds lovely. I remember Bremen from the early 90's (just after the Wall came down - oh the stories I could tell!). It was a great little city with a tram system & fairly light traffic. Seems that they managed to hang on to that!

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – Gov. Phil Bryant said his budget proposal unveiled Wednesday helps rebuild the state's reserve funds, focuses on education priorities and enacts minimal 1.5 percent cuts for most agencies.
"We are continuing to save and budget conservatively, finding more efficiencies and relying on less one-time money to fund recurring expenses," Bryant said. adding that his proposal funds the state's "highest priorities, investing in our children … protecting public safety, continuing our economic development efforts and ensuring the basic function of critical government systems."
The Republican governor said his proposal provides level funding for the Mississippi Adequate Education Program at $2.03 billion and an additional $21 million for "education priorities," such as continuing an early childhood education pilot program, known as Building Blocks, that has been privately funded in recent years, and enacting a pilot merit teacher pay program in four school districts.
Overall, Bryant's proposal increases state funding by 4.7 percent, or $259.8 million, to $5.81 billion. That includes some deficit funding for the current year and some one-time expenditures on such items as finishing the state's Wireless Integrated Network, which helps ensure communication during natural disasters.
Bryant's overall budget for the fiscal year which starts July 1, excluding deficit appropriations and one-time expenditures, such as on the wireless network, is $5.72 billion – or an increase of 3.1 percent, or $169.6 million.
Bryant is required by law to submit a budget prior to the legislative session. Legislative leaders will unveil their own plan next month.
"I commend the governor for coming forward with a conservative budget … his recommendations provide a great starting point for us to begin crafting a responsible budget," said House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton.
"We need to do a better job for education," said Rep. Cecil Brown, D-Jackson, of the Bryant proposal. "We are $260 million short of full funding of education. Because of that local property taxes are going up across the state.
"Plus, tuition at the universities has gone up a huge amount of money."
The governor's proposal increases funding for universities and community colleges only $13.3 million, or 1.6 percent. Both entities have asked for significantly more, citing rising enrollment and uncompetitive faculty salaries. Bryant said he hoped revenue exceeds projections, making additional funds available for universities and community colleges.
The governor also would relieve small businesses from a state mandate that in June they pay 75 percent of their projected tax revenue for July. This would remove about $35 million in revenue.
Excluding education, public safety and a few other areas, Bryant cuts most agencies by 1.5 percent, "redirecting $15.4 million to other priorities."
The budget provides a $29 million deficit appropriation for Corrections for the current fiscal year. It adds $8 million for a new trooper school for the Highway Patrol and purchase of new patrol cars; $42 million to meet the mandates of a lawsuit against the state's foster care system; and $1 million to the state crime lab.

Wockhardt gets green signal from FDA for epilepsy drug Lamictal XR
Mumbai: Pharmaceutical and biotechnology major, Wockhardt, has received final approval from the US FDA for marketing 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg and 300 mg extended release tablets of Lamotrigine, which is used in treatment of epilepsy. Lamotrigine is the generic name for the brand Lamictal XR, marketed in the US by GlaxoSmithKline. Wockhardt is launching the product immediately and this will be amongst the earliest generic versions of this product in the market.
"We are continuing our rapid momentum of 2012 into the New Year with this approval of Lamotrigine extended release tablets," said Dr Habil Khorakiwala , Wockhardt founder chairman and group CEO. "This is the sixth product with drug delivery technology that has received US FDA approval in the last five months, a continuing testimony to the R&D capabilities of Wockhardt," he said.
According to IMS Health, the total market for this product in the US is about $250 million. Lamotrigine is used extensively in management of epilepsy. Wockhardt already markets several other products in the US in the central nervous system (CNS) segment, especially anti-convulsant drugs.
In the US generic pharmaceutical market, Wockhardt has been consistently growing market shares for all its products. In many instances, Wockhardt, by virtue of being amongst the few players to market technically challenging products has reaped the advantage of being an early entrant.
Wockhardt will be manufacturing the extended-release tablets of Lamotrigine at its facility in Aurangabad, India. The technology for the extended release tablets was developed in-house.

At the same time, I think there are some who use excuses to try and validate the poor local fan support. The idea that Miami is so full of other things to do but other cities in the USA have nothing besides football is just plain ignorant. They act like people in the North part of the country just live in igloos and are blessed to be able to attend a sporting event, that type of thinking is disrespectful. Where I live, I don't have a beach right down the road, but do people in Miami have ski slopes? How about hiking mountains? I can go to Hershey Park in a acceptable amount of time, or visit the historic Gettysburg. We have clubs and casinos also. You don't need beaches and warm weather to have fun, there are just different ways to have fun in different parts of the country. That is why I ignore that "excuse" in debating this issue with attendance.
I know Miami has economic problems, well, so does the entire country. People are out of work up here, just like they are down there. I also know that winning will increase attendance, however we all know that doesn't completely solve the issue. The Dolphins/Colts playoff game in 2000 was not a sellout and was blacked out. Even the recent playoff game in 2008 against the Ravens struggled to sell out and that was following an 11-5 AFC East Championship regular season. Winning obviously is not going to completely solve all the problems, because we have seen these problems during winning and playoff seasons.
The accusation that I "hate" the people of Miami and want the team to move is just a lazy attempt to try and attack me personally. I love the state of Florida, I spend about an accumulation of a month during the year in the state. Not for business, but because I like to be there. I like the city of Miami and its people and can't wait until the next time I am able to get down to the area. I am embarrassed to see the stadium attendance so bad, especially when I see the local Eagles sucking this season with far better attendance. Or seeing the Buffalo Bills with solid attendance for our Thursday game a couple of weeks ago. All I ever want is to see a packed house in Miami and a true home field advantage. Instead the Dolphins are a punch line when it comes to attendance and the "empty orange seats". I want the Dolphins to always remain in Miami with their strong history, but I do fear that if things don't improve with attendance that in a decade from now we could be talking about the NFL team that used to be in Miami. I don't want them to move, I fear that could be on the table in the future.

Wow, looks like the recentlog is a goner. Maybe Advogato needs captchas? It doesn't take a genius to automate this sort of attack.
Did a small update to the latest patch. Still thinking about how to add threading to diary entries.
A patch for mod_virgule that adds editing and threading for article replies is here (screenshot). The page layout may need a bit of work, but I don't think it introduces any obvious security holes. Unfortunately article_generic_submit_serve got even messier.
I think some of this can be factored out and used to add threading for blog entries.
I started to add threading to article comments, as mentioned in my previous post. It's looking like this. I'm not sure if certification levels should be rendered in that case.
Most of the same code used by mod_virgule to manage and render article replies could be used to allow replies to diary entries. Diary replies could be rendered only when viewing a specific diary entry (and not in the recentlog or when viewing someone's page). Rendering a link saying "this diary entry has 5 comments" would require a virgule_db_dir_max call, but that wouldn't be too horrible.
Reply threading, with proper indentation, would be nice to have as well. One way to do that would be to add a parent key field to replies, and a tree would be built in memory before rendering. The existing database wouldn't need to be changed. All replies to an article or diary entry would need to be read to memory before rendering, but it wouldn't be that much more expensive than what's being done by the current code. Maybe the depth of the reply tree would need to be limited somehow.
In this brave new era of Web 2.0, rounded corners, and self-important "engineers" riding the latest faddish web framework bandwagon, the idea of a web site written as a C module for Apache is intriguing. I seem to have arrived a bit late to the party, but I hope I can still somehow contribute to (what's left of) this community.

We're please to let you know that the Barmouth tournament will have a first this year - as far as we know the first visit by Go professionals to Wales.
Two Korean professionals, Sohyun Park 3 dan and Ju Yeon Ko, 8 dan, will be present for the tournament and although detailed plans for their activities during the event aren't in place yet, we're hoping that they will be giving a lecture at 11am on Saturday 23rd June (before tournament registration closes).
So, if you haven't planned to go to Barmouth this weekend, perhaps this will help persuade you?
If you have planned to go then please make sure you turn up early to see them.
More details about the tournament are obviously in the Tournament Calendar.
Thanks to the Korean Baduk Association for arranging this visit as part of their European tour.
