Robert George chosen for Weaver award
Posted March 8, 2002; 03:00 p.m.
George, the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, has been chosen for the 2002 Richard Weaver Award for Scholarly Letters. The award recognizes scholars who "cherish the ideals of civic order and human dignity," according to the Ingersoll Foundation, which presents it.
George will receive $25,000, and a two-day symposium will be held in his honor at Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina on "Natural Law and Public Policy," the topic that George selected. Eight papers will be delivered during the Oct. 18-19 conference by speakers chosen by George.
A scholar in theories of law, natural law theories, constitutional law and theory, and problems of religion and politics, George is director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton. He is the author of many books and articles, including "In Defense of Natural Law" and, most recently, "The Clash of Orthodoxies: Law, Morality and Religion in Crisis."
The selection of the Weaver award winner is overseen by the director of the Bradley Institute for the Study of Christian Culture at Belmont Abbey College and the president of the Ingersoll Foundation, a philanthropic organization founded by the Ingersoll Milling Machine Co. of Rockford, Ill.
The award is given annually in honor of scholar Richard Weaver, the author of "Ideas Have Consequences." Past winners include sociobiologist E.O. Wilson, historian of slavery Eugene Genovese and Soviet specialist Robert Conquest.

nice monitor 3/24/2016
never had any issues with this model
Excellent monitor 3/16/2016
Great picture and includes HDMI, VGA and DVI connections.
Nice LED Monitor of the price 9/3/2013Vince from Atlanta, GA
Nice LED Monitor of the price. I had previously purchased the VE248HL-TAA model with the height, swivel, pivot and tilt stand. It is no longer available but this is the same model with non-adjustable stand. Excellent picture quality, no noticeable banding.
thin and supreme 6/17/2013
love the monitor
Awesome Monitor 1/26/2013Gabe from Miami
Awesome Monitor, with great input connections, size screen, color, features and price. Plus Asus knows how to make monitors. I also got to say Buy.com got great deals and make sure product is safe. I'll be buying again from them that for sure.
nice 7/11/2012mary from new york
I purchased this product to replace a seven year old 14" LCD television that i use on my kitchen countertop. Not only does this up-size my screen size significantly, but it still--just barely--fits between the counter and the upper cabinets while on its standard tabletop pedestal. It have good resolution and it looks great. 5 STARS!!!
Barely OK 4/13/2012Rob from Denver, CO
It works OK, but that's all. Its control interface is horrible. One control (width) is totally missing from the menus, so on my older computer, I don't get a full-width display. There are better, less expensive options. I will never buy Asus again.
Monitor works right out the box look and works amazing when plugged up to a PC or a Xbox 360 also the build in speakers could be alot better but I don't use them still a very good solid monitor luckily I don't experience any ghosting
Best 24in Monitor. 8/22/2011memo from Oakland, CA
This monitor is simply great. I use it mainly for gaming on my Playstation 3, It does a great job delivering high definition video. This picture quality is phenomenal, I'm really happy with my purchase.
moving around text does create some 'ghosting', but as picky as I am, It doesn't bother me at all and I still read on it comfortably. There are no problems with video or picture.
Simple sound system, 2w speakers that could be better, but for has no impact on practical use. You can always connect your own speakers if you wish(as I do).
Movies/video look great, gaming is more enjoyable now than with the tube t.v I was using before. PC/laptop looks good on it.
Overall a nice buy, excellent for the money and I couldn't ask for more.
Awesome LED Monitor!!!! 8/9/2011TaZ from St. Louis , Missouri
It has been almost 2 months since i received it. It has no dead pixels thank God. I do not have any ghosting issue however if i plug my sony hdmi cable it had wavy lines go up to mid section of the monitor. After removed and used dvi cable instead all the lines were gone and no ghosting. If your having ghosting issue change your cable either HDMI OR DVI . Stand could be little higher or height adjustment or something:)
Wish it had one more hdmi. But still it is a great buy.. Thank you Buy.com for the superb service.
Very Nice Monitor... 7/17/2011H from San Jose, CA
Pro: Monitor display is nice, crisp and bright. No dead pixels. LED backlit. Roomy 1920x1080. Monitor is very responsive with no ghosting. Movies look real nice on it. Large enough display to hide behind so I don't have to see my girlfriend's mom (don't ask).
Meh: I don't use the built-in speakers so no loss there.
Con: Wish it had a matte black finish and a DisplayPort too.
Connected Thinkpad T500 as a secondary monitor via DisplayPort-DVI adapter (monitor only has VGA, DVI, or HDMI). First thing I did was remove the stand and mount it on my Ergotron DS100. Planning to get a second monitor as soon as I can get the longer crossbar for the Ergotron and a dual DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
Awesome Monitor 7/6/2011Kevin from Brooksville FL
Easy to setup, a few tweaks to color and brightness and it was good to go,
No dead pixels and NO ghosting as mentioned in other reviews, If you have ghosting its your setup either video card or cabling, I only have DVI for now but its great.
You get what you pay for 6/27/2011
This is not the best monitor, but I guess the price is much less than those expensive LED monitors. You have to compromise quality if you get this one. 2ms response is misleading.
Disappointing 6/25/2011
It advertises a 2ms response time, but I can clearly see ghosting when moving windows or my mouse cursor around (as if I have subtle 'mouse trails' on). Also, when the screen is a solid color and I'm at a slight angle to it, there's a clear color gradient. I have the Asus connected side-by-side my old monitor (NEC 1920NX), which does not show these issues. I've fiddled with the video card and monitor settings to no avail (resol; refresh rates, colors, etc). Googling seems to confirm these issues. Am debating about returning -- 2ms seems like misleading advertising.
Good bang for the bucks but... 5/12/2011
It's a great monitor for the price. But I wish it's better in these perspectives:
- I can't adjust the height, only the vertical angle.
- The built-in speaker is weak, it sounds like it's coming out of a headphone turned to max volume
- When I switch to another machine via a KVM switch, it takes a while to settle down, during which period I can see flickering white bars on top part of the screen.
Solid Performer 1/20/2011A customer from Los Angeles, California
I checked around various sites for what would be the best bang for my buck with a monitor for my new Mac Mini. I came up with the Asus and it hasn't disappointed. I didn't expect great sound from its speakers, so I wasn't disappointed there. But the picture is sharp and clear, I haven't experienced the "ghosting" others have reported, and the set up was a piece of cake. It's lightweight and slender enough for most users. For the money, this 24" does the trick!
Very Good Screen, No Ghosting, Good Picture 1/8/2011A customer from NY
This is a very good screen. I do not experience any of the ghosting issues that I've seen in reviews for this model at newegg (it is probably an issue with their video card configurations). The picture is very nice and sharp. (The pixels are a very good size for this resolution: comparable to 19 inch square screen at 1280 by 1024). The screen does run very cool, and it is very easy on the eyes). It is also very light and very thin. The contrast is also quite nice (watched a 720p widescreen movie on it and the black bars at the top and bottom were quite black: no back-light bleeding through) I can't speak about the customer service as it hasn't broken yet.
Overall satisfaction 12/1/2010dimko61 from FL
The monitor is great works good. The pictures are clear, clean and crisp. Could be a little brighter, but for the amount of power it uses, its good. It's also easy on the eyes to look at for long periods of time.
The speakers are not much louder than my internal computer speaker, but for working on CAD, and watching movies it's good enough.
Excellent screen - Value is outstanding 10/16/2010Bigman from Fair Lawn, NJ
I only have a few days but I can already say it is a really good buy
The screen is sharp, colors are vivid and there is no heat coming out of this screen - cold.
I was used to a 24' LCD but this 24' LED is much better.
Also supports HDMI input (that currently I don't use) but it is nice to have - maybe the PS3 will be used with it one day.
No ghosting or any other issue.
(Also a good word for Buy.Com support: I ordered by mistake the wrong screen ASUS 246H and they cancelled it without any issue)

Global Trade Agreements
Together with citizens all over the world, Global Exchange has organized against bi-lateral trade agreements, because we believe in a vision of global economic integration that values worker's rights, fair trade, and environmental protection over corporate profits.
Ultimately, the bilateral free trade agreements made by our governments aggregate even more power in the hands of already powerful and destructive transnational corporations, and lead to serious declines in the welfare of citizens.
We urge you to learn more about the impacts of past free trade agreements and join Global Exchange in action against any new bi-lateral trade agreements that put corporate profit ahead of the needs of human beings and the planet.

Filmmaker to discuss her work, March 1
Posted February 23, 2006; 10:41 p.m.
Christine Vachon, founder of and partner in Killer Films, will
discuss her work at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 1, in the Stewart Film
Theater, 185 Nassau St.
The independent company has produced more than 30 films, including "Far From Heaven," "Boys Don't Cry," "Kids," "One Hour Photo" and "Happiness."
The lecture will be preceded by a screening of "Boys Don't Cry" by Kimberly Peirce at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 26, in the Stewart Film Theater.
For more than a decade, Killer Films has produced films for directors as diverse as Todd Haynes, Kimberly Peirce, Todd Solondz, Robert Altman, Mary Harron, Larry Clark and John Waters. The company's movies have been nominated for seven Academy Awards, most famously when Hilary Swank won the Best Actress Oscar in 1999 for "Boys Don't Cry." This fall, the Museum of Modern Art marked the 10th anniversary of the company -- now headed by Vachon, Pamela Koffler and Katie Roumel -- with a retrospective.
Killer's history began in 1991, when Vachon produced Haynes' first feature, "Poison." The film won the grand jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival and was thrust into the limelight when Sen. Jesse Helms and the far right protested the National Endowment for the Arts' involvement in the film. Over the years, the New York-based company has continued its commitment to produce visionary films without shrinking from controversy.
When Killer was officially founded in 1995, it took its name from artist Cindy Sherman's debut feature, the slasher film send-up "Office Killer." Other company highlights include Solondz's seminal portrait of dysfunction in suburban America, "Happiness"; John Cameron Mitchell's gender-bending rock odyssey, "Hedwig and the Angry Inch"; Haynes' homage to 1950 melodrama, "Far From Heaven," featuring actress Julianne Moore, which was nominated for four Academy Awards in 2002; and the company's biggest financial success, Mark Romanek's "One Hour Photo," starring Robin Williams.
2006 will see the release of three new Killer films. "Mrs. Harris," based on the true-life Scarsdale diet doctor murder, stars Annette Bening and Ben Kingsley and is directed by Phyllis Nagy. Mary Harron reteams with Killer on "The Notorious Bettie Page," a look into the life of the '50s pin-up icon starring Gretchen Mol. In "Infamous," director Douglas McGrath explores Truman Capote's relationship with convicted killer Perry Smith as he writes his groundbreaking nonfiction novel, "In Cold Blood." British theater favorite Toby Jones leads a cast including Sandra Bullock, Daniel Craig, Sigourney Weaver, Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, Isabella Rossellini and Gwyneth Paltrow.
In the pipeline at Killer for future release are Haynes' new film concerning Bob Dylan, "I'm Not There," which will star Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Colin Farrell, Richard Gere, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Julianne Moore; an adaptation of Brad Land's memoir "Goat," which David Gordon Green has written and will direct; and "Kimberly Akimbo," based on the hit off-Broadway play by David Lindsay-Abaire.
In addition to earning Academy Award nominations, Vachon, her company and its films have received numerous other honors including Independent Spirit Awards, top prizes from the Sundance, Venice, Cannes and Berlin film festivals, special tributes from the Deauville, SXSW and Provincetown film festivals, the producer award from the National Board of Review and the Independent Feature Project Gotham Award for producer of the year.
Vachon's book, "Shooting to Kill: How an Independent Producer Blasts Through the Barriers to Make Movies That Matter," was published by Avon in the fall 1998 and was a Los Angeles Times bestseller. Her second book, "A Killer Life: How An Independent Producer Survives Deals and Disasters in Hollywood and Beyond," will be published in fall 2006 by Simon and Schuster.
The event, slated as the John Sacret Young '69 Lecture, is being organized by the Program in Visual Arts.

Education is an integral component of the diabetes management and care. All health professionals need access to proven, effective, professional education about diabetes.
Resources produced by the Diabetes Education Consultative Section (DECS) for the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) are designed to improve the profile of education and the expertise of diabetes educators and other health professionals.
Currently, these resources consist of the following:
- IDF online interactive modules [2] (2016)
- International Standards for Education of Diabetes Health Professionals (2015) [3]
- Diabetes Education Modules (2011) [4]
- The International Curriculum for Diabetes Health Professional Education (2008) [5]
The International Standards provide guidance about essential information that health professionals need to know about diabetes and its management and is intended for use by institutions that currently provide or wish to provide a health professional diabetes education programme.
The Diabetes Education Modules provide the content necessary for the IDF Curriculum and can be used as a foundation to develop health professional education programmes.
The Curriculum is an important step towards implementing a model of diabetes care delivered by an appropriately educated interdisciplinary teams.

1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.
2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.

I've not seen one suggested piece of legislation that would have stopped most, if not all, of the recent mass shootings. I understand that when something like Sandy Hook happens that people feel helpless and want to do something but that happened in a state with already very restrictive gun laws. So why continue to argue points that wouldn't have mattered? Why ignore facts and vote emotion? Why push for laws that only effect good, decent, law abiding folks? Do they honestly believe that someone willing to commit the heinous crime of murder cares about breaking a gun law?
Before someone says "clip size" please understand that the only thing a smaller magazine would have done is made the shooter reload more often. In a "gun free zone" nobody can do anything in the short time it takes someone to change one out.
Making ammo more expensive is one that really pisses me off. The idea that a criminal set on killing would be deterred because he had to spend more money to get ammo is stupid. So the one that gets hurt is the recreational shooter that likes to go to the range. It's already incredibly expensive to shoot. Less practice then means more people with legal guns that have less experience using them. Smart.
Anyway I could go on and on but I won't. I just don't get it.

"Shifts Happen": Maine's Fishing Communities Talk Climate Change
Posted On August 12, 2013 by Corey Ridings
On a recent day that would otherwise have been perfect for fishing, a group of Maine fishermen and lobstermen opted to remain indoors. They gathered to discuss an issue serious enough to tie up the boats: the future of fishing in the face of climate change.
Increasing carbon pollution and its impacts on the ocean is something that may seem distant and far away for many. But fishermen are seeing changes now and living new realities today. Members of Maine's fishing communities met recently to discuss these changes during a workshop hosted by the Island Institute, a Maine group dedicated to sustaining local coastal communities.
Shifting fish populations due to warming waters are bringing new species to Maine and pushing others out. Lobsters are more plentiful than ever, a would-be boon except for an excess of "shedders" (also thought to be because of a warming ocean) that sell for a much lower rate than the usual hard-shelled individuals.
Green crabs, an invasive species, have moved north as waters have warmed, and are eating their way through the local shoreline, leading local clammer Walt Coffin to conclude, "We'll be out of business in two years."

What You Preach
Dear Alibi,
[Re: Letters, "Not So Simple," Oct. 15-21] Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim ... Don is changing the world, and very effectively.
No change has ever happened without a movement of people changing the way they live their lives, one by one. Most think that if they just pass the right bill or get enough people to gather on the National Mall, then things will change. That's a fantasy. The Civil Rights Act and March on Washington were but culminations of decades' worth of work from the ground up. Our real power is in what we support and what we propagate with the rhythms of our daily lives.
Making money and giving it away is indeed very commendable, but it does nothing to challenge the predetermined ideas of wealth that are destroying this world. We have been suckered into judging our self-worth by how many cars we own or the square footage of our homes. We have been suckered into believing that our security comes from guns and bombs. Don is challenging these fallacies with his life, and by doing so he is undercutting the forces that have driven us to the crisis we now find ourselves in. This man preaches through word and deed that our true self-worth is in our capacity to give and affirm life, and that our true security is in the hands of the other.
And if we don't change the way we live, and the trunkless legs of Ozymandias are again covered by sand, Don will have played the critical role of the Prophet. Those responsible will not be able to say there was nothing that could have been done or that everyone was swept up by some inevitable fever of insanity. They will be condemned by Don's life, and the many others who live like he does. This is the real reason why he is mocked.
So who of us is really in denial?
Andrew Gingerich
Simply Living, or Living Simply?
Dear Alibi,
Read the letter from Don titled "The Don on Simplicity" [Oct. 8-14]. On the surface it may seem that Don has a good way of living. If one works to live the life he has chosen, his efforts entitle him to it, regardless of what others may thinks of it. Be it a castle or a 12-foot-by-14-foot apartment. Yet I would ask, what has he done for his follow man?
I would point out that I need only plant one or two tomato plants for my needs, yet I plant five so I may have enough to share. Don seems to have got caught up in one of Americans' most common and worst vices, complaining about what others are or are not doing. I have been to a great deal of the world and have seen and lived with those that have less than they need. The biggest complaint is not that Americans steal and hog 25 percent of the world's resources; rather, we have set ourselves up as examples of how others should live their lives. Your pledge is hollow and has no impact on those in need.
Most of the world's poor live in cardboard or mud shacks. Right here in Albuquerque we have those that have less, and I have yet to meet anyone that would not change their situation.
The pen may be mightier then the sword, but I say put down your pen and leave your 12-foot-by-14-foot mansion and come down and help feed the hungry.
Your labors are of greater value than your words. When someone has a leak in their roof, you don't tell them how to clean up the puddle, you help fix the roof.
As simply as Don is living, he seems to be living simply for himself.

Status of world's ecosystems is topic, Oct. 3
Posted September 27, 2007; 09:02 p.m.
Cristián Samper, acting secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, will speak on "Ecosystems and Human Well-Being: Our Human Planet" at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 3, in McDonnell Auditorium.
Samper was among 15 biological and social scientists who led the U.N. Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. From 2001 to 2005, the study involved the work of more than 1,360 experts worldwide. Their findings provide a state-of-the-art scientific appraisal of the condition and trends in the world's ecosystems and the services they provide, as well as the scientific basis for action to conserve and use them sustainably.
The study found that humans have changed ecosystems worldwide more rapidly and extensively in the last 50 years than in any other period in recent history, largely to meet growing demands for food, fresh water, timber, fiber and fuel. Such changes have significantly contributed to the well-being and economic development of humankind, while becoming increasingly detrimental to many other ecosystem services.
The lecture is sponsored by the Princeton Environmental Institute.

Leaving the confines of your daily routine and heading off on a well-deserved break is an undisputed highlight for most people at this time of year. The benefits of upping sticks and heading off to the bach or camping ground are well known; if you've got your head screwed on right you'll be leaving all of those communications gadgets at home and revelling in a couple of weeks of unavailability. Instead of taking your mobile phone with you, consider taking a mobile vege garden so that you needn't miss out on fresh salad greens and herbs.
If your garden is in its full summer flourish (as it probably will be at the moment before the dry weather and gardening lethargy sets in), then the thought of buying an inferior or overpriced lettuce at your holiday destination isn't exactly festive. With a little forethought you can successfully supplement your holiday menu with a little home grown. I will concede that it probably takes a high degree of dedication to pull these organisational details off on the back of packing up everyone's needs for an extended period.
If you're up for the challenge though, the obvious place to start is herbs. Summer favourites such as basil, tarragon, mint, rosemary and thyme are all hardy individuals that will cope well with the trip in the car and a little bit of neglect at the camping ground. It's best to take plants that are already established in pots. Clearly portability is a must so light plastic ones are best (or even the long, skinny planter boxes). If you have a thriving bay tree or rosemary bush, hack off a few stems and take them as freshly dried herbs to add to your barbecuing endeavours (rosemary sticks make great skewers once you take the leaves off). If you're feeling really determined you could even take a couple of chilli plants in small pots.
The other tried and true method of taking your garden on holiday with you is the polystyrene box, the ones used to package perishable items like seafood. The shallower ones work best to transport from place to place. A little preparation will be needed for this one as you'll want to get the lettuces or salad greens comfortable in their new home before you leave. Once in the car they will need to be settled in a shady place. There's nothing particularly difficult involved here except perhaps finding enough space in the car to accommodate what will probably become a contentious piece of luggage as the packing (and holiday) progresses. Inter-personal disputes aside though you can bask in the knowledge that at the end of the day when you're just too relaxed to even consider cooking you can fix yourself a nice bit of lettuce on toast.

Computing Services to Be Curtailed to Allow Urgent Electrical Repair
Posted February 11, 2000; 10:46 a.m.
Some computing services must be curtailed today, Friday, February 11, between 12:30 and 1 p.m. to allow urgent electrical repair to core network components. This repair will result in an outage of the mail server, the data mall, Oracle databases, Sesame Street servers, Novell file services, and the NT Princeton domain. Users should log off their desktop systems before 12:30 p.m. and log back in after 1 p.m.

For whatever it's worth....
For whatever it's worth....
Mathman, I tried to get through this but my eyes were starting to cross when the talk of deviations, etc. came up. I'd be interested in your take on Communication 1327. I wouldn't blame you if you demanded a fee!
Hoo, boy -- my work's cut out for me now!Originally Posted by Doggygirl
I'll go to work on #1275 right away. About the first announcement, a couple of thing are worth noting.
1. There were 42 "assessments" (warnings) issued to judges in mens, ladies and pairs combined, compared to 56 for dance alone. Presumably this reflects the fact that dance judging requires more subjectivity in interpreting the rules than the other disciplines do.
2. The ISU notes that by giving out "assessments" in a timely fashion during the whole season, instead of waiting until the end, they were able to make corrections (or maybe just put the judges on their guard), so that the number of questionable judging calls decreased during the course of the season.
3. Here finally is a reason in favor of secret judging. The evaluators did not know the identities of the judges that they were investigating. This cuts down on the possibility of the evaluation committee members letting their friends off the hook. (I wonder if that is really true -- that the evaluators did not know who the subjects of the evaluation were.)

LOL MM. Like you, my initial reaction to this was good! That's actually a good use of secrecy! But like you, my skeptical side relative to Speedy entered my thinking very quickly.Originally Posted by Mathman
Thanks for tackling this stuff!!!
Thanks for posting this document, Doggygirl.
As for the mathematics, that is straightforward. For GOEs, a flag is raised if a judge's total GOEs for a skater is off from the average of the panel by an amount equal to the number of elements.
For instance a short program has 8 elements for which GOE is given. So you can be off from the majority judgment by a total of 8 points before you are in jeopardy of getting an "assessment" against you. This is quite lenient to the judges. You could give your favorite skater a +1 GOE on every element, when everyone else says 0, and still get in under the wire.
For program components the judges get even more leeway. In the five program components taken together you can be off by a total of 7.5. So for instance the judge who mistakenly entered 0.25 instead of 6.25, if 6.25 was the average of the panel, then this judge is off by "only" six points, so the judge is still OK if all of the other marks are in line.
If you get 4 assessments against you, you can be demoted to lower level contests, or suspended from judging assignments.
Here are a couple of other points.
1. The purpose of the evaluation is to spot instances of "errors" and also possible "national bias." There do not seem to be any mathematical tests in place specifically to investigate possible collusion between two or more judges.
2. An "assessment" is considered a performance evaluation. It is not a "sanction" and does not carry the risk of being punished by the ISU, as for instance supporting the WSF or publicly criticizing improper actions by ISU officials does.
3. Evaluations are done pretty much on the spot (later via videotapes for junior events). If the evaluators disagree with the majority of the panel, then the judges "corridor" is expanded appropriately. In other words, if the average of the judging panel gave a 6.25 in a particular program component score, but the evaluators thought it should have been 7.25, then a judge giving a score of 7.50 is regarded as being off by only .25 instead of 1.25. Evaluators are discouraged from attending practices, in order that their judgment of the actual performance not be compromised.
4. Judges have a right to defend their scores, even if they are very different from the majority. They can bring video tapes, etc., to a hearing to support their marks.
5. There are separate procedures for evaluating the performances of tech controllers.
I like it. Some people will think they need to tighten it up a little, but you have to let the judges judge.
Thanks for putting your brain power to this topic today. I do believe the judges need to be free to judge. Otherwise, we're right back where we started.
I do find the 7.5 point leeway on PCS interesting. As an example, I looked at the scoresheets from Jr. Worlds Ladies. The highest PCS score given was 7.5. So a judge would have to give a 0 to hit the radar. While I wouldn't want to see a leash so tight that someone other than the judges end up doing the "judging," I do think that path is a bit wide.
I almost think I'm OK with the range for the TES side. Back to my junior example, I happened to watch my download of Mao Asada's LP from Jr. World's today. Her 3A counted, but her GOE ranged from -2 to +2, which seems a pretty big spread. But the elements (especially jumps) happen so fast, that it's easy to imagine that one judge notices something for better or worse that another judge might not - hence a good reason for a panel with numerous judges.
If the vast majority of judges out there are truly trying to do their jobs to the best of their ability (rather than play politics) then I really think the change to COP...oops NJS can have a positive outcome.
It's interesting that they make national bias a "point" of the evaluation process, but don't indicate a mathmatical method of accomplishing that.
But isn't that 7.5 across all five components? So if one skater is averaging 6.5 for her components, let's say, one judge could give her an average of 5.0 and still be within the corridor, but one more score in the 4s (or averaging 8.0 and one more score in the 8s), and they'd "hit the radar."Originally Posted by Doggygirl
That is still a fairly wide leeway, but it does mean that a judge who is using a lower scale than the rest of the panel can't afford to also undermark a particular skater on purpose, or overmark one if they're using a high scale, without risking getting caught.
Do they still have a way of calibrating the range a la the "median mark" in the old system? If the scores are being announced, then the judges should be able to see where they fit in the range after the first skater. If not, someone might find that they were just on the wrong page all the way through for the general range of scores. But if they're out of the corridor in the same direction on all the skaters and not also favoring or punishing any in particular, they should be able to explain what the problem was if the assessors can't figure it out for themselves.
Wouldn't this be an obvious result? IIRC, they were handing out assessments at the end of the season the 1st year which was completely stupid if you ask me. :sheesh: You could argue that they were giving judges time to get used to a new system. But if the point was to reduce errors, that just increases the need for immediate assessment. It doesn't make sense to let people keep making the same mistakes and getting into bad habits when they are learning something new.Originally Posted by Mathman

In his powerful new memoir, The Ticking Is the Bomb (W.W. Norton), Scituate native Nick Flynn recounts a conversation he had with a man in Turkey.
My first child will be born in January, I told Amir. A girl. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, as if I had just come into focus.
You don't realize it, but you know who "Amir" (not his real name) is. Or at least, almost certainly, you've seen a photograph of him. He's the man — naked, cowering, his face a twisted mask of pain — being dragged on a leash across the concrete floor of Abu Ghraib prison by US Army Private Lynndie England. In the moments just before and after that photo was taken, his face was rubbed into a puddle of urine and he was sodomized with a broom.
Flynn met Amir in Istanbul, in 2007, interviewing him in a hotel room, alongside lawyers and human-rights workers. He was drawn there, despite the considerable travel expense — and the fact that his partner was pregnant with their first child — by a powerful, almost primal urge to meet and speak with the men abused at that infamous Iraqi jail.
The journey to Turkey, Flynn — who reads at Berklee's Café 939 on Wednesday — tells the Phoenix, was "about my own wrestling . . . breaking down my own unacknowledged stereotypes." And, he says of his interview, he was "surprised that I was surprised" to find that "sitting across from this man and hearing him talk in this way that was measured and reasonable, and even humorous at times" provided "much more of a human interaction than I'd anticipated."
Whether he's penning plays or prose or poetry, Flynn is a writer who's constantly searching, probing, prying. His acclaimed debut book of poetry, Some Ether (Graywolf, 2000), plumbed his feelings about his mother's suicide. His stunning first memoir, Another Bullshit Night in Suck City (W.W. Norton, 2004) — slated to be made into a film starring Robert De Niro and Casey Affleck — used experimental structure to explore conflicting emotions about his alcoholic father, who jarringly re-entered Flynn's life as a "blustering, damaged man" bedding down at the Pine Street Inn, where Nick then worked.
Interrogating his own suppositions, sorting through his deep and tangled thoughts, Flynn's work evokes Seamus Heaney's famous words: "Between my finger and my thumb/The squat pen rests./I'll dig with it."
The Ticking Is the Bomb is unflinchingly honest, a "memoir of bewilderment" that deftly excavates — via dozens upon dozens of short, fine-tuned, imagistic vignettes — Flynn's "unquiet mind," whirring with thoughts about his past (his parents, his lovers, his own struggles with addiction), and his optimistic trepidation about future fatherhood.
But, more specifically, it also pans out to cast a hard look at the dark and dangerous world into which his daughter would soon be born. A world where innocent men are tortured by democratic countries.

Saw $2.69 today.
Saw $2.69 today.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
Cheapest I've seen was $2.58 when I was in Indianapolis Wednesday.
Cheapest I have seen lately is $2.65 in Elizabeth City.
I would like to thank these people - Jediguy, El Chuxter
I plan to get gas this week... probably at Costco, which hopefully will be less than what's around (because they don't display their prices on the street anymore, just at the pump or entrance to the store). I'm hoping for less than $3.20.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
ARCO is usually about the cheapest around here. That is where I always go. It was $3.299 on 10/6. I haven't seen what it has been since then but it is probably getting close to $3. I probably won't have to fill up for another couple weeks or so.
The least I've paid this year was $2.859 back in January, and the most was $4.439 in July, though that was at Shell. The most I've paid at ARCO was $4.259 in June.
Looking back historically, the lowest I have in my records is $0.899 in February 1999. The last time it was under $1.00 was February 2002 when I paid $0.939. The last time it was under $2.00 was February 2005 when I paid $1.919. Seems like there is often a dip in February, but not always.
I don't know where I put my old registry, or I could also quote directly, so I'll rely on my memory instead.
Lowest, IIRC was maybe $.89 somewhere in Texas (San Antonio?) in Mar./Apr. 1994. Highest would've been in the low $4.20s some time this year here. There was an under-$1 time within the last 10 years, but I forget that, too.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I remember 89 cent per gallon gas, but the irony of it was I couldn't afford it then either. I'd get like two or three dollars worth, and try to get my friends to pitch in a buck or two.

It used to be, that you had to book domestic (U.S.) flights weeks in advance, because airlines like to gouge last- minute business travellers; but international flights didn't have that problem nearly as much. That seems to have changed recently. Sigh.

Edit: All of the conversion prices weren't on the auction when I bid. Just so you don't think I'm a complete tard.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
Dont feel bad Slicker, I made that mistake once as well. I bought a lot of Robotech figures for 17 dollars and didnt check location. It was England. The shipping was as much as the figures. Be damn straight the first thing I check is location, then shipping after that.

Vintage Luke, ANH, Blonde version. Been chasing this one a long time.

Recently just picked up the last three figures I needed to complete my vintage set, Anakin Skywalker, Amanaman, and Barada. Now I have the full set of vintage. Only need a decent split belly tauntaun and the rancor to have a complete beast set.
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Over the last two months I have been heavily into filling out my vintage collection. So far, since May, I have bought an Imperial Gunner, Romba, Han Carbonite, an A-Wing Pilot and I actually got ahold of a really nice vintage A-Wing off of ebay (only $140).

|Gear Talk - Fly Stuff Spoken Here Sage advice & fresh perspectives
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:New Orvis Clearwater flaw
Sounds like their heart was in the right place, but the thought of two water baloons on my knees was enough to make me cringe a bit.
I suppose you could either plug the tops, open the bottoms up, plug both, or open up both more. Given those options, I would probably choose to open the bottom holes bigger since they are a superficial layer over the actual wader. Without seeing the stitching and patternwork I can't say whether that's good or bad; I assume you are talking 'plug top' because your eyes tell you it's the best option.
IN any case, thank goodness for AQUASEAL!
New Orvis Clearwater flaw
I recieved my replacement pair of Orvis Clearwater breathable waders about a week ago and was happy to see that they had improved them by putting another layer of material from the knee down to the bootie.
This weekend I discovered that this improvement in durability has a minor flaw to it. They left the corners of the "patch" open to allow water to flow in and out but that is not how it works for me. Because I am tall I have to wear my waders a bit loose so I don't rip the crotch and because of this the material at the bootie seam tends to drape over a bit and does not allow the water that accumulates in the "patch" to drain effectively. When wading in heavy current above your knees it turns into a large water balloon and you can just imagine what its like wading in those conditions with two big water ballons strapped to your legs. I'm guessing that if you were to wear a pair of snug gravel guards you would encounter the same problem.
I'm thinking of sealing the upper corners. Any opinions?

Just been discussing the pro's and con's of using templates for a large scale PHP project with some people. The genral concensus is the using PHP itself for templates is a good way to go. Whilst i agree with this in principle i've decided to use Smarty.
The reason being that i've found Smarty to supply the best middle ground for developers and designers. I tested some simple code out on a designer who knew no PHP whatsoever and he found using {$IMAGE} extremely easy to use. Now, the argument goes that if this person can use {$IMAGE} then why not <?=$image?> ? I found the answer simply to be this: When 'non php person' sees <?= their thought process goes hmm->looks like code->hmm->brain core dumps. But for some reason ($IMAGE} can be sold as 'special html' to them and their brain copes better. There are many reason not to use/use the different template systems around..but i generally find the one that works best for you is the best to use :)
To use a quote i originally saw andrei use in an email sig...
"Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make yourself a happier and more productive person." -- Dr. David M. Burns

Impossible flight
The eternal yearning for impossible flight
gnaws at the hearts of dreamers.
Lost in the depths of longing, they fix their eyes on a spot in the sky,
tie balloons to arms,
and try to fill themselves up with belief.
At times they edge their way to the end of a diving board
as if walking in darkness,
timidly feeling their way till toes curl over the edge.
At playgrounds swinging,
hands grip chains in fear and excitement,
reaching heights with thoughts of
endless possibility.
lifting off
They focus their entire being on
and closing their eyes at a final moment wonder
am I now flying
Eyes open, nothing happens.
They find themselves lying on the diving board
or still on the swing,
staring into space.
Muffled sounds
faraway from their thoughts
begin to reach them; others want a turn.
Sadness veils the truth,
they meditate on lost flights with a quiet suffering.
In front of fans or at edges of cliffs,
wind through hair, arms outstretched,
they attempt to simulate the feeling of flight as a daily ritual.
Flying dreams recorded become religious accounts
and from these scriptures they construct objects
to aid their worship.
Yet, in reality they are happy in their yearning.
What keeps them alive is the desire for something impossible.
Without this passionate longing
they have nothing.

Ensoniq Halo
The Ensoniq Halo is a sleek keyboard with a 32 MB ROM soundset of diverse synth sounds including sounds of the popular Ensoniq ZR-76 featuring the "Perfect Piano". Halo has three additional ROM slots for up to 128 MB of sounds (more on this below). The keyboard is a full 61-keys long with 16 real-time controllers. There's also 16 on-board syncable/programmable arpeggiators and the E-mu's Super BEATS interactive Groove Mode. With 16 mute/enable buttons this keyboard is set for live and on the fly performances with plenty of real-time controls! Halo also features multi-mode resonant filters, 24-bit DACs, and an affordable price tag!
Halo is part of a new line of performance keyboards launched by E-mu/Ensoniq that repackage their current line-up of top notch sound modules targeted at specific genres. For all purpose synthesizer, the PK-6 Proteus Keys. For HipHop and R&B, the MK-6 Mo'Phatt Keys. For techno trance and dance, the XK-6 Xtreme Keys. And Halo from Ensoniq, which is another all purpose synthesizer.
Every one of these ships with one 32 MB sound-set, but are expandable up to 128 MB via three additional slots for 32 MB expansion cards. These cards include (ranging from $249 to $395):
- 9061: Siedlaczek Orchestra 32 MB ROM.
- 9062: Pure Phatt 32 MB ROM - standard in Mo'Phatt, MP-7 and MK-6.
- 9063: Beat Garden 32 MB ROM - standard in Orbit 3.
- 9082: Protozoa 16 MB ROM - standard in Proteus 1, 2, 3.
- 9083: Definitive B-3 32 MB ROM - standard in B-3.
- 9084: Techno Synth Construction Yard 32 MB ROM - standard in Orbit 3.
- 9085: Orchestral Session Vol. 1 32 MB ROM - standard in Virtuoso 2000.
- 9086: Orchestral Session Vol. 2 32 MB ROM - standard in Virtuoso 2000.
- 9087: World Expedition 32 MB ROM - standard in Planet Earth.
- 9088: Sounds of the ZR featuring the Perfect Piano 32 MB ROM - standard in Ensoniq Halo.
- 9089: X-Lead 32 MB ROM - standard in Xtreme Lead-1, XL-7 and XK-6.
With these expansion options, you could buy a PK-6, then add the sounds of the Orbit 3, XK-6, and the MP-7... or any other combinations you may want. If you like desktop synths, you can start with an MP-7 or XL-7, and then add these same expansion card options to add Proteus, Orchestral, or the new Halo sounds to them. E-mu/Ensoniq's interchangeable sound cards and a variety of keyboard/sound-module options means that there's a model out there for everybody now.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Cell Tracking
According to a recent investigation by the Swedish news show Uppdrag Granskning, Sweden's telecommunications giant Teliasonera is the latest Western company revealed to be colluding with authoritarian regimes by selling them high-tech surveillance gear to spy on its citizens. Teliasonera has allegedly enabled the governments of Belarus, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Georgia and Kazakhstan to spy on journalists, union leaders, and members of the political opposition. One Teliasonera whistle-blower told the reporters, "The Arab Spring prompted the regimes to tighten their surveillance. ... There's no limit to how much wiretapping is done, none at all."
A New York judge's broad opinion, ordering Twitter to comply with a subpoena (PDF) and turn over account information about one of its users arrested for disorderly conduct in connection with an Occupy Wall Street protest, is worse the deeper you dig into it.
Jason Weinstein, a deputy assistant attorney general in the Department of Justice's criminal division, told a panel at the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee's "State of the Mobile Net" conference yesterday that requiring a search warrant to obtain location tracking information from cell phones would "cripple" prosecutors and law enforcement officials. We couldn't disagree more.
CA Legislators Allow Wireless Industry to Continue "Working Day and Night" Selling You Out in Secret
EFF, along with the ACLU of Northern California, is a sponsor of the California Location Privacy Act of 2012 ("SB 1434"), a bill that would require California law enforcement officers and agencies to seek a search warrant before obtaining electronic location information. Yesterday, the bill passed through the California Senate Committee on Public Safety and is now on its way to the full Senate for consideration. But when it gets there, it will be missing a major, important piece of its text: its reporting requirement.

Lawsuit Filed Against Pocono Mountain School District
CRESCO, Pa. - A federal lawsuit has been filed against the Pocono Mountain School District for violating a student's constitutional rights.
The lawsuit was filed by a Michael Ayers on behalf of a minor identified only as "K.A." on Friday. The suit alleges that the district violated K.A.'s First and Fourteen Amendment rights by not permitting her to distribute a "religious" flyer at Barrett Elementary Center, where she went to school. The flyer was an invitation to members of the student body to a Christmas party sponsored by K.A.'s church.
K.A. had to turn the flyer into the principal for approval, who in turn had the superintendent look at it, because he claimed it was religious in nature. The superintendent rejected the request based on District Policy 913.
District Policy 913 states, in part that "Any requests from civic organizations or special interest groups...must be examined to insure that such activities promote student interests primarily, rather than the special interests of any particular group" and that " No individual, firm or corporation shall be permitted to engage in commercial advertising, promotion, solicitation or sales with regard to the student body, faculty, staff or the public on school district property or at any school sponsored activities unless the same shall have been previously approved in writing by the District."
It further claims that another part of the school code, that was not used in this instance by the district, restricts K.A.'s rights. That is District Code 220, which prohibits expression that "seek(s) to establish the supremacy of a particular religious denomination, sect or point of view."
To see a copy of the district policies, including 220 and 913, click here.
The lawsuit claims that the flyer was prohibited "solely because of the religious nature of the message". The lawsuit also claims that the school usually allows flyers and other invitations to be distributed either student-to-student during non-instructional time or through a take-home flyer forum that distributes such flyers through the student body.
Pocono Mountain School District says that they cannot comment on ongoing litigation.

Lenze Americas offers free mobile app for calculating drive systems
New Formulas and Tables app features digital reference, tables and drive calculations for drive design anywhere, anytime.
Latest NewsPMMI membership reaches record levels Automate 2017 show breaks records Diesel prices drop slightly, reports EIA Finding Agility in your Workforce: Are you prepared to meet the next market shift? United Airlines and Lufthansa to partner in international cargo operations More News
Latest ResourceFinding Agility in your Workforce: Are you prepared to meet the next market shift? Logistics companies need every advantage available to them to be a vendor of choice and remain competitive
All Resources
Lenze Americas, a leading global manufacturer of electrical and mechanical drives, motion control and automation technology, has released a packaged collection of formulas now available as a free app for smartphone, tablet and mobile PC users.
A reference application for performing basic physical calculations, Lenze's Formulas and Tables app provides engineers, drive manufacturers and trainers a mobile tool to design drive systems while on the go. The new application software is available for download and easy to install onto Android and iOS operating systems via Google Play or the Apple Store.
"The launch of the Formulas and Tables furthers our commitment to strengthen accessibility in the mobile marketplace for customers and other drive design professionals," states Michael Bailey, manager, sales support, Lenze Americas. "This mobile offshoot of our printed formula collection is aimed at making it even easier to design drive solutions. As technologies evolve we will continually add formulas and enhanced design tools to the mobile app."
Formula and Table users can perform different calculations, ranging from the description of straight-line and circular movements, to determining drive control characteristics. The app also offers basic formulas from the fields of kinematics, dynamics, force and torque, in addition to work output, energy and control technology. Suitable for international use, the tool is available in German and English languages.
The app allows easy navigation of results so users can re-use calculations for further analyses and share data with others. An integrated note function provides an option to draft remarks and other information, and save these in tandem with calculation data. A built-in bookmark function makes it easier to store and retrieve important information for later use.
"By making it possible to calculate the data and values of a dimensioned drive solution using a mobile device, we eliminate the need for expensive software solutions or bulky reference material—and bring mobile productivity to a higher level," adds Bailey.
The up-to-date version of the Formulas and Tables app covers Chapter 2 (Basic Principles) of the printed version of the Lenze "Small Collection of Formulas." The mobile app is optimized for devices with Android OS V2.3 (or higher) and a screen resolution of 400x800px (or higher). Additional information and the downloadable Formulas and Tables drive design app are available on the Lenze website.

PPP the best food going!! Love it!! Dogs have really good coats and are healthy and full of energy!!!That makes me happy!:)
The breeder of our youngest dog - now 13 mos. said to feed Pro Plan Performance (All Life Stages) and we have. She has thrived on it. Had a male that did real well on PP Sensitive Skin and Stomach. We've used Eukanuba (don't like it), Canidae (they changed their formula), Iams and Innova. I think it depends on the individual dog. Our trainer does use Pro Plan.
+1 on Fromm
I've fed nutro, taste of the wild, and another high protein food that I can't remember the name of. I fought loose stool since the day she came home on all 3. Granted her coat looked great and she was trim, but the stool bothered me. Switched to PPP and her stool firmed up. Still looks great and has been performing great since the switch. I'm sticking with PPP.
Victor, grain free. just under $1 a pound. My dogs love it, shinny coats, small stool. great energy.
I used PP for the life of my previous Lab ( 14 years) and I'm now feeding my 6 mos puppy PP Large Breed Puppy.
Big fan of Fromm 4 Star. Check out dogfoodadvisor.com
thanks for all the input and help everyone. just trying to make sure im doing the best i can to take care of my boy.:) I did look, and was a little surprised that on dogfoodadvisor.com PRO Plan is rated at 3 stars out of 5, does this surprise anyone else? The fromm that few of you mentioned was rated 5 out of 5.
Not surprising at all considering the present quality, amount of fillers and where the ingredients come from.
Fromm is ALL American,same price +/-, great end results in the dogs.
