In all seriousness though, Dion Jordan. Dude is just a freak. Von Miller esque.
Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!
I would Like to say Taylor as he will benefit from the Wake/Jordan Rush.
Dion Sims. I just have a feeling that he turns into a "star."
I hope Terrell Sinkfield grasps as much knowledge as he can and is able to compete at a high level this year.
I have to go w/ the Dions.

I'm gonna go away from the obvious pick in Jordan and point out Jelani Jenkins. Rated as the best cover LB in this draft, he's also a smart player and we have uncertainty at LB. Wheeler and Ellerbe are not exactly proven commodities to the extent of my knowledge. Not saying they won't work out, just saying it's a little uncertain. That means a little less ground for Jenkins to make up to be up to snuff and get in the mix. I see him playing a bigger role this year than we realize.
The first time Jordan destroys Brady I am going to go crazy. I just can't wait to see his speed on the outside and how fast he should be able to get to the QB since Wake will be the one getting Double teamed.
Leon Sandcastle.
Seriously, I'm looking forward to watching Gillislee develop. I think he's going to be special.

By NEMS Daily Journal
The decision by the Mississippi House Medicaid Committee chairman to schedule a public hearing on possible Medicaid expansion opens the door to fair and full discussion of a health-care and quality of life issue affecting potentially an additional 300,000 Mississippians – many of them the "working poor" who earn an income but cannot afford health insurance.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, moving toward full implementation in 2014, allows states to expand Medicaid eligibility to people making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level: $15,000 for a single person and $34,000 for a family of four.
Mississippi legislative and statewide elected officials who are Republicans have mostly strongly opposed exercising that option on grounds the state cannot afford, after three years, to pay 10 percent of the cost.
Some holding that position reflect political ideology reflexively against the ACA because it is the cornerstone of President Barack Obama's policy accomplishments, widely opposed in GOP circles everywhere.
On the other hand, refusing to consider expansion that would cover substantial numbers of the working poor also assures that the burden for health care continues to fall on institutions and the private sector to which the uninsured usually go: clinics and hospitals bound by ethics and the law to accept them as patients regardless of insurance reimbursement.
We applaud House Medicaid Committee Chairman Bobby Howell, R-Kilmichael, for agreeing to schedule a hearing, and we suggest that a one-day session won't be enough to hear from the key constituents and those who represent those interests.
Holding the hearing becomes doubly important because the Mississippi Division of Medicaid has not been reauthorized in the 2013 session. If not renewed in subsequent legislative action, the program would be run under executive powers by Gov. Phil Bryant. Bryant is a staunch opponent of Medicaid expansion.
As Howell noted, issues are evolving with movement toward full implementation of the Affordable Care Act., and we believe Mississippi's best official position is to keep an open mind as a matter of best policy – rather than partisan politics.
A Koscuisko physician, Tim Alford, testified last week that helping the working poor in Mississippi obtain health insurance coverage through Medicaid is in the patients' and the state's best interests.
Alford noted that the "working poor" includes jobs like clerks, retail cashiers, truck drivers, pulpwood haulers and nurses' assistants, to which could be added many others like household employees and thousands of people with part-time jobs who are not covered under any business's full-time insurance plans.
Seriously examining Medicaid expansion for the working poor acknowledges that for many people who work hard and want always to work, the world is imperfect and the reality affords less than the ideal situation for full self-sufficiency.

Splitting Up the Port Authority? Current, Former Chiefs Weigh In
The current and former executive directors of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey weighed in this week on Gov. Chris Christie's suggestion that the agency should be dismantled in the wake of an embarrassing political scandal triggered by his subordinates.
Their verdict on a break-up of the agency that gave rise to the George Washington Bridge affair: not easy, and not likely.
"It's a very challenging, important and complex endeavor," Executive Director Patrick Foye said Tuesday, after he spoke to a trade group in Midtown Manhattan. "The assets and finances and financing streams are bi-state. It would be an extraordinarily challenging and difficult endeavor."
Mr. Foye declined to offer his own opinion about the break-up proposal, saying it was a policy issue to be considered by a newly formed oversight committee of the authority's board, which will consider potential reforms of the agency, as well as the governors of both states.
Given concerns expressed by both Mr. Christie of New Jersey and Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, Mr. Foye said "these issues will be explored in a serious way."
Mr. Foye's predecessor at the top executive post was more skeptical of the break-up suggestion, which Mr. Christie floated last week in a press conference, after the release of his administration's internal investigation of the bridge scandal.
The report found that there was no evidence Mr. Christie knew of the lane closures before they occurred, and blamed a rogue authority employee and his former deputy chief of staff for what was apparently a political plot to inflict traffic jams on the Democratic mayor at the New Jersey end of the bridge.
Chris Ward, the former Port Authority executive director, mocked Mr. Christie's suggestion of splitting the Port Authority, and said the lane closure affair is no reason to break apart the agency that manages six interstate river crossings and the region's three major airports, in addition to owning the World Trade Center site and operating the PATH transit network, among other assets.
"Reminds me of the child who gets a great gift on Christmas, breaks the toy that afternoon, and then tells his parents it didn't work anyway," Mr. Ward said of Mr. Christie's remarks.
A spokesman for Mr. Christie said the Port Authority "requires fundamental, structural change," which should be engineered by an impartial panel of experts. Mr. Christie, like his departed Port Authority chairman, David Samson, objects to current plans to take input from a panel of experts including former authority officials on how to improve operations.
The spokesman forwarded a selection of Mr. Christie's remarks from Friday's press conference.
"The best way perhaps to deal with this, at least something to consider, is, you know, taking the Hatfields and the McCoys and moving them to separate homes, because they haven't been able to get along with each other despite my best efforts, the best efforts of Governor Cuomo, and many of our predecessors," Mr. Christie said at the time.
There is a history of bad blood between Mr. Ward and Mr. Christie. Mr. Ward was forced out as chief of the authority after serving as the point man on a proposed toll and fare increase in 2011. Mr. Christie and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo publicly recoiled at the proposed hikes, and the authority later approved smaller increases.
Mr. Ward's eventual replacement, Mr. Foye, is the official who angrily reversed the lane closures after discovering they were going on in September. Mr. Foye and Mr. Christie's top allies at the authority clashed bitterly, according to people familiar with the matter and correspondence that has emerged in the investigations of the bridge scandal.
In an interview this week, Mr. Ward, now an executive at the construction firm Dragados USA, said that dividing the Port Authority would be counterproductive for the region, a view shared by many regional planning experts.
"As often has been said, if the region didn't have the Port Authority, it would be struggling to figure out how to create one," Mr. Ward said. "And given its history and regional development, it's essentially impossible to break the regional model now."
The Port Authority hasn't publicly commented on Mr. Christie's remarks. But a new committee of the Port Authority board, led by Vice Chairman Scott Rechler, a Cuomo appointee, will consider proposals to overhaul the agency's operations and governance in the coming months.
Mr. Rechler said last week that any reform proposals would be considered, but he similarly warned against abrupt or extreme measures, given the two states' mutual obligations and the size of the authority. The authority last month approved a new $27.6 billion capital plan and carries around $20 billion in debt.
"We have to be thoughtful about how we approach this thing," Mr. Rechler said.
Speaking Tuesday, Mr. Foye wouldn't discuss the Christie administration report, which was prepared by lawyers from the firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, who have been hired to represent the governor's office in the federal and state investigations of the scandal.
Mr. Foye said he was not asked to be interviewed for the report. He said he only read two pages of the report's more than 300 pages concerning potential changes with the Port Authority's structure.
"I've not read the remainder and don't intend to, so I don't have an opinion," he told reporters when asked about the report.
Mr. Foye also offered a muted send-off for Mr. Samson, the Christie ally who resigned Friday, the same day the governor publicly addressed the report on the bridge affair. Messrs. Foye and Samson had privately clashed for months, according to people familiar with the matter, and documents revealed in a legislative investigation of the bridge scandal show Mr. Samson angrily protesting what he believed were Mr. Foye's efforts to take the public high ground in controversies that emanated from the New Jersey side of the authority.
Asked if he would miss Mr. Samson, Mr. Foye did not mention his tenure at the agency.
"Chairman Samson has served ably as attorney general of the State of New Jersey and I think he is to be thanked and commended for his public service," Mr. Foye said.
A spokeswoman for Mr. Samson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Club's thanks for "fantastic servant"
Wolves' well-respected Head of Academy Recruitment Alan Travis is to retire in December.
Travis, who succeeded Tony Lacey when arriving at the club in 2009, has almost three decades of experience in youth football including spells with Manchester City and at Derby, where he first linked up with Wolves' Head of Football Development and Recruitment Kevin Thelwell.
"I'd previously worked with Alan at Derby where we had some great success with players like Will Hughes, Jeff Hendrick and Mark O'Brien, who were all identified by Alan," says Thelwell.
"That success meant I was always keen to bring him to Wolves, and he has been a fantastic servant to the club and to the Academy ever since.
"It is a sad day for us to be losing him, but we wish him all the best for his retirement which is planned for around Christmas time."
"For 25 years I have been in a privileged position of being able to give young players the opportunity to progress in the professional game," said Travis.
"It has been a great experience for me working for the Academy in a really positive atmosphere and with some really dedicated colleagues.
"I think the quality and the high standards demanded by everyone within the Academy played a key factor in achieving Category One status, and I am proud to have played a part in that process.
"There is an opportunity at the club now for the young players to go on and achieve at senior level and, even though I am retiring at the end of the year, I will be looking on and hoping the next batch of players we have recruited will be able to follow in their footsteps.
"I would like to take this opportunity to wish my successor all the best in the role of Head of Academy Scouting, and I am sure the Academy will continue to go from strength to strength."
Head of Recruitment Stuart Webber will now lead the process to bring in a new Head of Academy Scouting.
"We are now looking for a new member of staff who will certainly have a tough act to follow," added Thelwell.
"We have got to make sure the Academy keeps moving forward and Alan has been a big part of that, recruiting some talented players to come through the programme and helping the club achieve Category One status."

Setting Personal Goals
Put yourself on a path.
If you're an adult who is thinking about getting more education to make a better life for yourself and your family, you're not alone. More and more adults are improving their skills and learning new skills by enrolling in college education programs.
Your first step should be to set some type of goal for yourself. Personal goals are important because they help you know if or when you've succeeded. Consider the following questions:
- What do you want to get out of college?
- What do you want to do with your education?
- How do you want to feel once you've accomplished your educational goal?
Write a statement of your goal in clear, concise terms. Documenting this goal can help keep you on track as the various options present themselves. Your goal might be to:
- Get a better job
- Get a different type of job
- Finish your bachelor's degree
- Feel better about yourself
- Set an example for your children
- Earn more money
- Enhance and expand your skills
- Explore an interest or hobby
After you've clearly articulated your goal, you can begin to look for the best way to achieve it...like searching for a college program that will help you achieve your goal.
If you're having trouble identifying or writing your goal, you may want to take a self-assessment or aptitude test.
Regardless of your reasons for continuing your education, remember that you are not alone. You're joining millions of adults pursuing additional education and training.

I made a short side trip from Pittsburgh, Pa to capture some photos. Should have left the night before to add a full day with sunny skies.

Professor Roger Penrose says that cosmic radiation discovered by one of NASA's telescopes is older than the Big Bang.
---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------
The research casts doubt upon the widely-held theory that the universe has continued to expand since the Big Bang and will continue to do so until it ceases to exist.
Prof Penrose says that his research shows that all matter in the universe will eventually be consumed by black holes, leaving only energy behind which will in turn trigger the next Big Bang.
"In the scheme that I'm proposing, you have an exponential expansion but it's not in our aeon - I use the term to describe [the period] from our Big Bang until the remote future," Prof Penrose told the BBC.
"I claim that this aeon is one of a succession of such things, where the remote future of the previous aeons somehow becomes the Big Bang of our aeon."

The acid-fast stain is a laboratory test that determines if a sample of tissue, blood, or other body substance is infected with the bacteria that causes tuberculosis and other illnesses.
Your health care provider will collect a sample of urine, stool, sputum, bone marrow, or tissue, depending on the location of the suspected infection.
The sample is then sent to a laboratory. There, some of the sample is placed on a glass slide, stained, and heated. The cells in the sample hold onto the dye. The slide is then washed with an acid solution and a different stain is applied.
Bacteria that hold onto the first dye are considered "acid-fast" because they resist the acid wash. This type of bacteria is associated with tuberculosis and other infections.
Preparation depends on how the sample is collected. Your health care provider will tell you how to prepare.
The amount of discomfort depends on how the sample is collected. Your health care provider will discuss this with you.
The test can tell if you are likely infected with the bacteria that causes tuberculosis and related infections.
A normal result means no acid-fast bacteria were found on the stained sample.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test result.
Abnormal results may be due to:
Risks depend on how the sample is collected. Ask your health provider to explain the risks and benefits of the medical procedure.

Rescuing Pepper: Authorities find neglected horse sought by distraught previous owner
By: Chuck Haga, Forum News Service, INFORUM
GRAND FORKS – Pepper is alive, she appears to be OK despite dropping about 200 pounds in weight, and she's going home.
And Madi George, the 6-year-old New York girl who sent her "life savings" to help ailing North Dakota horses like Pepper, is going to get a special tribute from Pepper's grateful owner.
The 8-year-old quarter horse mare, one of about 150 sick, malnourished and injured horses seized last week by Burleigh and Morton county authorities, was sold last year by Gary Bernhardt of Milnor, N.D., to Bill Kiefer, owner of the ranches where the horses were seized.
Authorities found nearly 100 horses dead on the two properties on Jan. 28.
A Morton County assistant state's attorney said today that his office is in court seeking ownership of the surviving horses and will put them up for adoption, while the investigation into possible criminal charges continues.
Bernhardt, who raises, competes with and sells registered quarter horses, told the Herald on Monday that he hoped to reclaim the mare.
He provided a picture, which Morton County authorities used Tuesday to identify Pepper as one of 38 surviving horses at the Burleigh County site.
"Tuesday afternoon, they called me and said they had found her," Bernhardt said. "I tell you, it was a good thing I was sitting still, because the tears came — tears of joy.
"They said she was the first one they saw when they went to the Burleigh County property. They said she was fine, she looked good."
And they had more news.
"She's still pregnant," Bernhardt said.
The mare had been bred with one of his stallions before she was sold, Bernhardt said. He said Kiefer told him he planned to abort the foal.
If Pepper has a healthy colt in the spring, Bernhardt said he will put it up for sale and donate the proceeds to a cancer fund in Madi Georgia's name.
"That would be fabulous!" Rachelle Frost, Madi's mother, said today. "She will be thrilled, and especially that the money would go to cancer … because I have leukemia myself."
Frost said she has been through 14 rounds of chemotherapy and continues to fight the disease.
"She's a really neat kid," she said of Madi. "She's very much her own person, very kind and free-spirited. When she thinks something is right or wrong, she has a strong opinion on it."
Madi was "very, very serious about buying an elephant or a dolphin" with her savings, $177, which her mom said reflects how keenly the first-grader felt about helping the horses in North Dakota.
"I don't think she ever spent a penny since she started saving," her mother said. "Even if I gave her 12 cents or something at the grocery store, it went into the savings for her elephant.
"When I read to her some of the responses people have written, praising what she did, she was confused. She said, 'Mommy, that's just what you're supposed to do.' "
Frost said that Madi and her brother Cole, who is 8, "have taken from all this that they really can do something that makes a difference, so it's been good for them."
She said the children are busy now making Valentines for the staff and volunteers at Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue.
Bernhardt said he may adopt two or three other horses when he reclaims Pepper. "I have the hay, and I have the facility," he said. But getting Pepper home and healthy is his first objective.
"As soon as they tell me I can get her, I'll hitch my trailer up and head over there," he said.
"She's going to need a lot of vitamins and minerals. She's about 200 pounds lighter than the 1,200 or so I remember her at. And in the picture they sent me, her eyes look sad. But we'll fix that. I have a vet lined up, and we're going to give her a 100 percent look-over."
Jackson Lofgren, assistant state's attorney for Morton County, said he overheard the telephone conversation with Bernhardt when he was told Pepper was alive. "He was pretty excited," Lofgren said.
He said many people have called to volunteer time, resources or funds to help the surviving horses, including some who said they might be willing to take a horse.
"We've been pretty busy filing all the civil paperwork," he said. "The animal neglect statutes give us very tight deadlines. We're trying to get title to the horses so we can start adopting these animals out."
Sheriff's deputies have taken control of about 120 horses and mules on the Morton County property and 38 horses and mules in Burleigh County, Lofgren said. Veterinarians from New Salem, N.D., have been inspecting and treating the animals.
"We've only got so much hay, maybe enough for two weeks," he said. "We're hoping to find homes for all of them."
He said Kiefer has been cooperating with authorities, but he had no additional information on the criminal investigation. "Our concern No. 1 is to take care of the animals we still have alive and do all the investigating we need to do on the criminal side," he said.
Alison Smith, of Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue, said that her facility took in four more animals from the surviving herds over the weekend, bringing the total there to 27. She said she hoped to start some of the animals on grain soon and do worming and pregnancy testing.
"There hasn't been a lot of change, but we are starting to see some of the hollowness and emptiness leave their eyes," she said.

Lights even in winds as high as 80 mph
Large fuel capacity for over 1000 ignitions
Generates a hot, 2000ºF flame
Easy-to-use, one-hand operation
Extreme conditions demand an extreme lighter, and the Trekker Stormproof Lighter will deliver a clean, hot, 2,000°F flame when you need it most, even in winds of 70-80 mph. Its extra-large fuel capacity gives you more than 1,000 ignitions on a single fill, and a fuel-level window shows how full the lighter is. A piezoelectric ignition system eliminates the need for batteries or flint and functions reliably, even in wet conditions, and can easily be operated with one hand. There's a flame-indicator window on the side of the combustion chamber that glows when the lighter is ignited. A water-resistant O-ring seals out water when the lighter cap is closed. The easy-grip rubberized case makes the lighter easy to hold onto in slick conditions, and a wrist lanyard will keep you from dropping it. Fuel capacity: 4 grams. Weighs 2.5 oz.

Today is Spanish Friday so this post is in Spanish. If you participated in Spanish Friday on your own blog, leave your link in comments. English translation at the bottom! Hola gringos! Listos para celebrar cinco de mayo este fin de semana? Bueno, por los que no son gringos, les explico por qué algunos de nosotros celebramos el aniversario de una batalla en Puebla, México. La mayoría de la gente celebra cinco de mayo en los Estados Unidos no más por tener excusa tomar cerveza, margaritas, y tequila, disfrutar de música mariachi, vestirse en sombreros y sarapes y comer comida "mexicana" (estilo estado unidense, todo cubierto en queso y salsa.) Eso es! [ENGLISH TRANSLATION] Hola gringos! Ready to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this weekend? Well, for those of you who aren't gingos, let me explain to you why some of us celebrate the anniversary of a battle in Puebla, Mexico. The majority of the people in the United States celebrate Cinco de Mayo just to have an excuse to drink beer, margaritas and tequila, enjoy mariachi music, get dressed up in sombreros and sarapes, and eat "Mexican" food (American-style, all covered in cheese and salsa.) That's it!

Funny, but sad, too, because those cards are all too true.
LOL, those are funny. Feliz Día de Cinco de Mayo for those who celebrate it!
My post is up…
hahahaa im dying over here too funny lol happy cinco de mayo lol hahahaah
Haha…super funny! So true. I love the sarcasm.
That video was hilarious!
Loved your post. Going to share!
What's interesting is that now Cinco de Mayo has become a sort of Pan Latin American celebration…When I was in Miami (there are very few Mexicans there), lots of Cubans, Venezuelans, Colombians etc. were celebrating and I was very confused! I think everyone just likes an excuse to celebrate and have fun, no matter where the holiday is from. For example, all of my Latino friends LOVE Thanksgiving. But that makes sense because it's a big meal that gets the whole family together.
Back to Cinco de Mayo….once I had a Spanish teacher tell me the "real" story of Cinco de Mayo…I have never been able to verify this, so I'm not sure if it's true or not. She told me that on the actual Cinco de Mayo, yes, the Mexicans did beat the French AT FIRST, but then they went to celebrate and got drunk and while they were drunk the French came back and killed them all. Has anyone else heard this before? Anyhow, true or not, it's a good cautionary tale.

Family: Felidae, Cats view all from this family
Description This northern species has a tail that is all black at the tip. Upperparts are grizzled grayish brown with a varying degree of spotting. Winter fur is long and thick. Ears have long (4-5cm) black tufts of hairs and a central white spot on the back. Tail is relatively shorter than in the Bobcat; ear tufts and feet are larger. Females are slightly smaller than males. Denizen of boreal forests.
Dimensions 82-95cm, 9-12cm, 7-18kg
Endangered Status The Lynx is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as threatened throughout its range in the lower 48 United States: Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. This wildcat is naturally rare in the U.S., mainly because its prey species, the Snowshoe Hare, is found chiefly in Canada and Alaska. It is possible that human disturbance in Lynx habitat has driven it out of some parts of the U.S., but there is no conclusive evidence of this. There is no doubt, however, that it no longer lives in areas it once inhabitated, and that the species needs to be studied and monitored so that it isn't completely driven from the contiguous U.S.
Breeding Breeding season is March-April, with an average of 3 kittens born after 60-70 days. Dens are in hollow logs, stumps, timber clumps, or root tangles. Young remain with mother until next breeding season.
Habitat Forests & woodlands, Alpine & subalpine habitats, Canyons & caves, Swamps, marshes & bogs
Range Plains, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Northwest, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, Alaska
Discussion Threatened because of sensitivity to human disturbance. Specialist hunter of Snowshoe Hares; also hunts other small mammals, beaver, and deer. Larger food items may be cached under snow or brush and visited later. Solitary, except for females with young. Peaks of activity occur at dawn and dusk, but may be active anytime. Denizen of boreal forests.

During the Las Vegas summer league, representatives from the Celtics [1] attended a workout for Adam Morrison, the former Gonzaga star who would rank as Michael Jordan's biggest draft blunder if not for taking Kwame Brown [2] first in 2000. The Celtics worked him out again Wednesday [3] at their facility in Waltham along with Rashad McCants, Cuttino Mobley and Trenton Hassell.
Morrison came into the NBA with the reputation as a shooter, but he has never cracked 37 percent from the floor in his three seasons and hasn't even seen much playing time since his disastrous rookie year. Morrison was traded to the Lakers for Vladimir Radmanovic and barely saw the court.
To date the Celtics have not so much as issued an invitation to Morrison, or anyone else from Wednesday's workout, but they are clearly not done tinkering with the roster.
When Tony Allen left for Memphis [4], Danny Ainge moved to shore up the wing [5] by re-signing Marquis Daniels [6] and coming to terms with Von Wafer [7] and Delonte West [8]. The contracts for Wafer and West are not fully guaranteed, which leaves an opening for an actual competition in training camp. (You can throw Oliver Lafayette and Tony Gaffney into the mix as well).
At issue is the backup small forward slot behind Paul Pierce [9], which was also an issue last year and the year before that. Daniels has the inside track for the job and rookie Luke Harangody could also work into the rotation provided he can make jumpers and play defense at an acceptable level.
But the Celtics lack size at the position and have a general need for shooting everywhere off the bench. That's because Doc Rivers [10] is already envisioning a second unit that can work off Shaquille O'Neal's work in the post [11].
Like Morrison, McCants has been a first round bust, albeit one with a strong college track record. Hassell has more experience and just finished a very generous long-term contract granted by Kevin McHale [12] when he was with the Timberwolves [13], but he is known more as a defender than a shooter.
Of the four, Mobley is the most intriguing. He enjoyed a long and underrated career as a top-notch scorer for the Rockets and Clippers. Mobley was traded to the Knicks in late 2008, but he retired with a serious heart ailment. In June, Mobley told the New York Daily News that he was contemplating a comeback [14].
It's not clear what Ainge's intentions are yet, but with the start of training camp looming at the end of the month, it does appear that he's continuing to look for the right pieces.

Another day, oh wait its the last workday of the year! As if all of the bullshit that happened this year won't matter come the 1st of Janruary?
I wish.
Screw work. Lets look at programming, shall we? Today I spent debugging, as I have the last 2 days. My friend and I are searching for a ghost in the kernel and we still have yet to find that slippery bastard. I almost gave up hope until he brought me around. So I went back at it and now we know where (we have narrowed down to a couple of files) the problem may lie.
This is what it is all about, a pal,, some beer and persistance (granted . . . the beer helps).
So yes. We like it, but without our friends, we could not do it.

Home > Choosing a College > Tips on How to Validate a School's Claims >
Is the School Accredited?
An important way a school can show that it offers quality education is to become accredited. Accreditation means the school has been approved by a non-government agency that reviews schools in a region or occupation. A school should tell you whether it is accredited and who has accredited it.
Accreditation is a voluntary process. While an unaccredited provider may provide worthwhile courses (particularly if a degree is not important to you), you don't have the assurance of this external review. Beware of statements that accreditation doesn't matter.
To become accredited, institutions and programs must demonstrate that they meet standards established by the accrediting agency. There are two types of accrediting agencies:
- institutional accrediting agencies that establish standards for the entire school
- specialized accrediting agencies that establish standards for programs in specific fields of study, such as nursing or engineering
Warning: Phony operators have created their own "accrediting" bodies with legitimate-sounding names.
The federal government reviews and recognizes accrediting agencies. Ask the school which federally recognized accrediting agencies have approved it.
If you are preparing for a licensed profession or are seeking professional certification, you should make sure that the program or course satisfies any specialized accrediting requirements. You may not be eligible for licensure or certification if the program is not recognized by a particular specialized accrediting agency.
Private training firms which do not offer degrees usually do not qualify for or seek accreditation. For computer training, look instead for certification by computer software firms such as Microsoft, Cisco Systems or Novell.

Home broadband: What you need to know
In the following guide we're going to take you through the most important basics of home broadband, while linking to more in-depth articles on some of the more complex topics for those who want to further explore them.
The products and information you'll find on this page are specifically about home broadband. These deals are most easily defined as internet packages that arrive in your home via a telephone landline. If you're looking to compare mobile broadband offers (using a tablet, dongle or MiFi unit) please head over to our main mobile broadband page.
The home broadband postcode lottery
One of the first things you'll notice on the comparison table above or our home page is a box to enter your postcode. Before you go any further, we strongly advise that you fill this in.
Unfortunately, not all postcodes are created equal in terms of home broadband access. While broadband is now seen as a utility that should be available to all, this doesn't mean we're all offered the same range of products; internet Service Providers (ISPs) are businesses, after all, so they tend to offer their best services in the most populous areas.
By entering your postcode you'll only be shown services which are available in your area. Even then, when you go through to the actual provider's website to sign up for your chosen deal, you'll have to enter your telephone number to be sure that service is available directly to your house (a postcode check only goes so far).
What do different 'max speed' numbers really mean?
So, you're probably now left with a large selection of deals with varying max speed figures in the 'Speed' column. This can seem a bit mystifying, so here are some basics.
- Max speed below 20Mb: Any broadband internet product advertised at below 20Mb is likely from one of BT Openreach's old copper wire telephone exchanges. Copper is great for speech and has served us well for years, but it isn't so good with transferring data - hence the slower speeds.
- Virgin Media products from 50-200Mb: Over the past couple of decades the nation's various cable companies have slowly came together to become one large company, Virgin Media. It has led the way in superfast broadband and now has well over four million home broadband customers, while its fibre network is available to slightly more than half of the UK population. If it's available to your property, it offers the one genuine alternative to services run on BT Openreach's network.
- Non-Virgin deals from 38-76Mb: BT Openreach has responded strongly to Virgin Media's lead and is fast rolling out its own superfast fibre broadband internet network. If deals are offered to your postcode in this range, it's likely that your local telephone exchange has been upgraded from copper to fibre.
Internet providers: What's the difference?
Apart from speeds, there are many other differentiators between the various providers and broadband packages - and there are lots of them too. This can make deciding which to choose tricky; are there really any differences? After all, apart from Virgin Media's cable network, they're all arriving through the same telephone line anyway, right?
More than 90 per cent of UK consumers use one of the 'big four' internet providers; BT, Virgin Media, Sky and TalkTalk. However, some of the smaller providers offer great options and are growing in popularity.
One key area is service and support - which often correlates with prices. If you choose one of the slightly more expensive providers you should expect a higher level of service (ie, UK call centres and 24-hour care), or better hardware and advanced options (your own IP address, a better wireless router etc).
This doesn't mean that the cheapest broadband deals should be ignored though. Cheap internet providers such as Plusnet and TalkTalk can save you a lot of money while offering a solid level of service and equipment. After all, home broadband in general is very reliable and you don't need to buy the best equipment to get online.
In the end, it's best to do your homework. Ask your friends about their experiences, read some of our thousands of customer reviews and look at Broadband Genie's independent surveys.
Home broadband deals and bundles
The last big area to consider is the makeup of the deal you go for - both in terms of contract length and the services/offers provided.
Contract length is easy - the longer you're willing to sign up for, the cheaper your deal is going to be. This is very much an individual, situational decision and there's no right or wrong answer, as long as you apply your personal circumstances to it.
If you look at the table above, you'll see we break deals down to help you out: you can look for broadband on its own, phone bundles or television bundles. Bundling several services with the same provider can lead to some great savings - and with the likes of EE also providing mobile services you can get even better deals.
Finally, remember home broadband is a really competitive market. This means the various internet providers are constantly battling to tempt customers to their cause - and the best way to do that is with freebies. It could be high street vouchers, bargain hardware or a few free or half price months on your contract - just look for the red highlighted text on the table above.
But with all these deals, just ask yourself this question before you commit: Are you really going to make use of all those bells and whistles? It's very easy to be tempted into six months of half price broadband on a two-year deal on a high download limit - but if you're not going to go anywhere near that limit, it's hardly a bargain!

The Economist: That whole German "energiewende" has kind of backfired so far, huh?
posted at 8:51 pm on January 16, 2014 by Erika Johnsen
The Economist has been skeptical about Germany's oh-so-grandiose "green" plans to almost completely phase themselves away from nuclear and fossil fuels for awhile now, but now that the bill for Germany's outsized ambitions is coming due in the form of so far increased carbon emissions and the planned construction of more coal plants, the gloves are coming off.
More a marketing slogan than a coherent policy, the Energiewende is mainly a set of timetables for different goals. Germany's last nuclear plant is to be switched off in 2022. The share of renewable energy from sun, wind and biomass is meant to rise to 80% of electricity production, and 60% of overall energy use, by 2050. And emissions of greenhouse gases are supposed to fall, relative to those in 1990, by 70% in 2040 and 80-95% by 2050. …
The difference between the market price for electricity and the higher fixed price for renewables is passed on to consumers, whose bills have been rising for years. An average household now pays an extra €260 ($355) a year to subsidise renewables: the total cost of renewable subsidies in 2013 was €16 billion. Costs are also going up for companies, making them less competitive than rivals from America, where energy prices are falling thanks to the fracking boom. …
Cost is not the only problem with the Energiewende. It has in effect turned the entire German energy industry into a quasi-planned economy with perverse outcomes. At certain times on some days, sun and wind power may provide almost all German electricity. But the sun does not always shine, especially in winter, and the wind is unpredictable. … So conventional power plants have to stay online in order to assure continuous supply.
And opening more conventional power plants means more coal, that most dreaded of fossil fuels. This just did not go according to plan, did it? Via RealClearEnergy:
For all the talk about wind and solar, Germany's Energiewende is producing one big result – a return to coal. For an entire week last December, Germany's 23,000 windmills stood perfectly still. Solar didn't produce much power, either. Gas is still too expensive and so, unless the Germans are planning to do without power for weeks at a time, they need something to replace their nuclear reactors. That is coal.

One major cause of liver cancer is high exposure to the hepatitis B virus, resulting in the integration of HBV into the patient's genes
Singapore: Scientists at the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) have unraveled the mechanism that causes liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC), one of the most common solid tumors worldwide. This genome-wide research was done in collaboration with colleagues from the National University of Singapore (NUS), University of Hong Kong, Eli Lilly, Merck Research Laboratories USA, Pfizer Oncology USA and Beijing Genomics Institute China.
One major cause of liver cancer, or HCC, is high exposure to the hepatitis B virus (HBV), resulting in the integration of HBV into the victim's genes. Individuals who carry the HBV have a greater than 100-fold increased relative risk of developing HCC, considered to be a serious global health problem by the World Health Organization.
Due to technology and sample limitations in the past, only restricted results were found. In this study, the scientists leveraged on massively parallel sequencing technology to survey the HBV integrations on paired tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues from 88 Chinese HCC patients.
Their analyses revealed that the incidences of HBV integrations were high — 76 of the 88 patients had HBV integration. Specifically, they discovered that the HBV will integrate into genes CCNE1, SENP5 and ROCK1, causing an increase in the expression levels in these genes, and subsequently enhancing the tumor growth. This discovery is in addition to the previously reported integration into the TERT and MLL4 genes.
The scientists also observed that HBV integration induced chromosome instability, resulting in the scrambling of the genome.

Governor praises high scores of nine Mt. Lebanon schoolsJanuary 15, 2014 12:16 AM
Nine of 10 schools in the Mt. Lebanon School District scored 90 or higher on the academic performance profiles released by the state Department of Education, and that honor earned it a visit from Gov. Tom Corbett.
Mr. Corbett and state acting education secretary Carolyn Dumaresq personally delivered the nine Governor's Awards for Excellence in Academics banners to the principals of the nine schools who earned them.
They are among 428 schools out of the approximately 3,000 schools statewide to receive the honor for scoring 90 or higher.
"You are doing it very, very well here," Mr. Corbett told the crowd of students, administrators, teachers and parents who gathered in Mt. Lebanon High School's new gymnasium for the award ceremony Tuesday.
Ms. Dumaresq said that Mt. Lebanon's percentage of schools scoring 90 or above was the highest in the state and that Mt. Lebanon High School's score of 99.5 was the highest in Allegheny County and among the highest in the state.
The school performance profiles were created by the state to provide a system of assessment that went beyond the previous standard of whether districts made adequate yearly progress, or AYP.
AYP was based solely on students' scores on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment exams. The School Performance Profiles take into account PSSA and Keystone exam scores as well as other factors, including the amount of academic growth a school achieves in one year, graduation rates, advanced placement and SAT scores.
Mt. Lebanon superintendent Timothy Steinhauer said the district's success was directly related to the value the Mt. Lebanon community places on education.
"We are all proud of our kids and our staff. It's great to have a community that supports public education," Mr. Steinhauer said.
As Mr. Corbett held Mt. Lebanon up as a role model for other districts in the state, he said it is his intention to set up a system through which high-achieving districts are available to mentor low-achieving districts.

Week 4 Preview : Bills vs Patriots

When is it a good time to face the Patriots? After they have dropped under .500 for the first time in a decade or after they start undefeated? For Bills fans it's simple… it's never a good time to face the Patriots. They've had Buffalo's number for the better part of nine seasons but beating the Pats last year in week three gives me confidence that they can win on Sunday. Why the Bills Wi...

Newberg discusses God and science, Sept. 26
Posted September 20, 2007; 09:52 a.m.
Physician and author Andrew Newberg will give a talk titled "Born to Believe: God, Science and the Origin of Ordinary and Extraordinary Beliefs" at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 26, in 101 McCormick Hall.
Newberg is an associate professor in the Department of Radiology and Psychiatry at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and is a staff physician in nuclear medicine. Much of his research has focused on the relationship between brain function and various mystical and religious experiences. His research also includes understanding the physiological effects of acupuncture, meditation and other types of alternative therapies.
Newberg's lecture shares the title of his new book. He also wrote the bestseller "Why God Won't Go Away: Brain Science and the Biology of Belief" as well as "The Mystical Mind: Probing the Biology of Belief," which received the 2000 award for Outstanding Books in Theology and the Natural Sciences presented by the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences.
The talk is sponsored by the Center for the Study of Religion as part of its "Princeton Lectures in Religion and Cognition" series.

Barter and Blister are now officially dead. Major changes have gone on in my life, and I am left with no desire to finish them.
Major changes
I am now a resident of Hay River, NT, CA (formerly of Vancouver, BC, CA).
I am now focusing on the mathematical underpinnings of computing science and cryptography/cryptanalysis rather than writing yet-another-horrible-CGI-application.
I am no longer working with computers professionally. This may change, but for the moment, I am working in shipping/receiving at a local department store.
I am now focusing on Ruby and O'Caml, rather than Scheme, Smalltalk, Lisp, C, C++, Perl, Modula series, shell scripting, and the scads of other languages I've cycled through. These are the only interpreters/compiler that seem to work on all of the platforms and OSs that I do. I no longer give a rat's ass what anyone thinks about my choice of languages. I even wrote a prime number filtering program in Ruby. It's slow, but it does the trick. If I have a big prime, I'll just run it as I sleep. No biggie.
I am now impossible to find on IRC unless you know the two channels where I hang out (and the network those channels are on, for that matter). They are non-technical channels, so if you see me there, please don't ask for technical help. Do that through e-mail.
I no longer follow Usenet. I don't even think I can get access to it up here. If you're posting something you think I would like, please Bcc it. Even the comp.* hierarchy is driving me crazy these days.
I will only post things that are actually interesting to Advogato in the future. This message is not considered interesting, but rather is here to let the few that look know what's up.

to fully appreciate wwdc next week, i started learning as much cocoa as i can. i played around briefly a year ago when i wrote a menubar biff. that was before i switched from ssh/mutt to imap/mail.app.
i'm reading one book, "building cocoa applications", through o'reilly's safari online library. it's not bad since it doesn't gratuitously hand-hold (or maybe i just skim very well). after that i have a dead-tree copy of "cocoa programming".
not sure how much cocoa programming i'll do in the future, but i've got a subsidized ticket to wwdc and nothing better to do.
anyone else going? let's meet up some night -- drinks are on me.

Changes proposed for officer-involved shooting reviews
Panel would come from outside department, provide recommendation to DA
MADISON, Wis. - A bill in the state Legislature wants to change the way local police react after an officer-involved shooting. The measure would prevent police from investigating themselves.
Reps. Gary Bies, R-Sister Bay, and Chris Taylor, D-Madison, have joined forces on the bill, which would require independent investigations of officer-involved shootings. Two members of the three-member panel would come from outside the department, and the panel would provide a recommendation to the district attorney on whether an officer's actions were justified.
The authors of the bill said the recent focus on shootings in Madison made them question how the process works, and families involved said the measure is the culmination of years of work.
"As I watched the process unfold in my community, I realized there is a better process here that is more transparent and more open so the community has greater confidence about what follows when you have an officer-involved shooting," said Taylor.
The bill comes after three officer-involved shootings in Madison in the last nine months. Most recently the Madison Police Department said they would conduct an internal investigation into three officers after the August shooting death of Charles Carll on the city's west side. It's the same process that found MPD Officer Stephen Heimsness justified in the November killing of Paul Heenan on Baldwin Street.
Bies and Taylor said this bill would be the first of its kind in the country.
"I think it's something (police departments) don't like to deal with until it happens and then everybody has their own way of dealing with it," said Bies. "I think that inconsistency is what causes the public to wonder what's really going on."
The bill is the life's work of Michael Bell, whose son was killed by Kenosha police in November of 2004.
"My son was killed November 9, 2004 and in November it will be nine full years," said Bell. "From day one, if you look at the interviews we have done and the press releases, we have questioned the review process. This is what we have been working for."Changes proposed for officer-involved shooting reviews
A spokesman for the MPD said Police Chief Noble Wray has been generally supportive of this proposal in the past, but hasn't seen the new language.
The Wisconsin Professional Police Association said they are reviewing the bill with their membership and are "willing to explore improvements in the law."
Friends of Paul Heenan, Amelia and Nathan Royko-Maurer, told WISC-TV from out of town Thursday that that they are thrilled to see lawmakers on both sides of the aisle work on the issue.

It might surprise you that I have far more respect for Bernie Sanders that Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Barney Frank, Obama, ect. He at least states honestly his socialist position and makes no apology for it. From those according to ability, to those according to need. That is his belief. I strongly dissaggree, but I can respect him for his honesty.
As to my example, the addict is the American people, the drug is entitlements, and the drug pusher is the government. When the drug brings the American people to their knees and they swear off the drug, then maybe the bottom will have been reached, then recovery can begin. To be sure liberals look at entitlements as a right not a drug. That is the dissagreement, not hatred.
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." Thomas Jefferson

OK, unsexiest beers . . . oh, wait, wrong theme. We're working beer-related gifts in Bottles and Cans land. You like beer, yes? Chances are your friends like beer, yes? So give 'em some beer! Or something else from this beer-soaked list. Let's get shopping . . . .
VARIETY PACKS Twelve-packs are an ideal entry to the wonderful world of craft brew — they're fairly priced, boast a range of styles, and there's usually nothing too extreme in the mix. All of the following, which I saw while doing the ho-ho-ho sleuthing over the weekend, will make any giftee enjoy the bounty (and thank you for opening the door to better beer): Heavy Seas, Wachusett, Sea Dog, Southern Tier, Victory, Harpoon, Left Hand, Long Trail, Widmer Brothers, Boulder, and Smuttynose.
GIFT SETS We're talking samplers with a glass. Excuse me, a goblet. Which is part of the Chimay package, with bottles of the Trappist brewery's essential Première, Cinq Cents, and Grande Reserve, plus a gold-rimmed goblet (can we call it a chalice?) embossed with the Chimay logo (it runs $24-$28). Other high-class offerings: the Duvel four-pack, with an oversized tulip glass (about $16); the Unibroue Diabolic Pleasures two-pack, with 750ml bottles of Maudite and Eau Bénite tripel (the latter is currently exclusive to this package; $18-$20); Samuel Smith's classic three-pack (Oatmeal Stout, IPA, Nut Brown Ale) has an imperial pint glass with their way-cool logo ($10-$13); and perhaps the best bargain, the Ommegang set with 750mls of Hennepin, Three Philosophers, and Gnomegang, plus a large flute glass (about $24; the liquid would run $30-plus in most stores).

trusted metric
"no matter how strong is the encryption, it's useless if one keeps the passphrase under his keyboard..."
i do have faith in the trust metric system, but we still have to do our part to make it works. IMHO, we should at least, have a look at one's contributions to the open source community before granting certs. this will greatly reduce the chance of creating a 'master troll' eventually, since raph has made it so hard for trolls to 'gain level' by mass certifying each other.
i saw someone certified alan as apprentice! oh my, alan cox is an 'apprentice', then i should be a 'sub-observer'. i'm sure that alan don't mind about that, but it clearly illustrated how little does that guy know about the open source community.

It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over
The Alibi's New Year's Guide
By Amy Dalness
The end is upon us, but it's not here yet. The wrapping paper is still piled on the floor, and there's enough turkey in the freezer to feed a family of six for weeks. It's been a stressful year, topped with a maddening holiday season, but, finally, 2005 is on its last legs.
New Year's Resolutions
A reference guide
By Amy Dalness
Once the partying is done and the hangovers cured, the guilt starts to set in. The daunting realization that it's the beginning of another year—a year you promised to make better than the last. To make this compact, clip-out New Year's Resolutions Guide as productive as possible, here's a bit of preliminary advice.
1) Your resolution should be something you have control over. Don't resolve to win the lottery. That's a wish, not a resolution.
2) Tell yourself you can accomplish your goal. It may sound silly, but part of doing something is believing you can do it.
3) Don't be afraid to ask for help. You are not alone in your battle. Find support groups, talk to your loved ones and seek out others with the same goals.
All right, here's a random, obviously incomplete list of organizations you might consider contacting to help make 2006 a successful new year.

Party Games
Your antidote to a dull New Year's Eve
By Jessica Cassyle Carr
Party games are fun for moderately sized groups, and are a good way to integrate and transform regular old drinking, eating, conversation and funny hats into end-of-the-year entertainment. Most of these games are—or are derived from—old parlor games and were attained from my new favorite website, wikipedia.org (thanks, wikipedia!). Happy New Year and watch out for falling ammunition.

"Our officiant had us fill out this test as well. We really liked it. The program showed areas of strength and pinpointed things we needed to talk about. The coolest thing is it comes with a workbook with activities that you and your FI can do to build communication. I would suggest you do the PREPARE/ENRICH program." - Tennessee
"We had to do it also, and like the previous post we loved it. Good Luck! Have fun with it. Just remember it can't do any harm to find out where you two can improve. Kinda like extra credit." - Omaha
"Our pastor is having us use the program as well!" - Wyoming
"We used it as well and it was wonderful. It really showed us our strengths and areas of improvement to work on as a couple. It also identified our major stressors in life which was super helpful." - Cincinnati
"We used the assessment as well. It was very useful and fun, too! Had a great time! Have fun with it!" - North Dakota
"We did the test, and it was insightful. One of the important things is that you each do it on your own and be completely honest on your expectations. We had fun with it." - Seattle
"FI and I did the test as well. We're a very open couple and were friends for years but there were still a few things that we learned about each other through the process." - Houston

Sought it out...it was an amazing contribution to our plans for marriage. I think it should be required!
I don't know if my church requires it, but we would have wanted it regardless. The program was so incredibly valuable for us!
It was required for us in Pierce County, WA but I am very glad we did it, because it has helped us a ton!
My fiance and I wanted to take PREPARE/ENRICH and it has been such a wonderful experience. It really brought back the value of marriage and solidified why we wanted to get married.
The PREPARE/ENRICH counseling was amazingly eye-opening. Couldn't imagine getting married without it!
I wanted to make sure we were on the same page before we got married. It so helped both of us grow together even more. I recommend every engaged couple (or thinking of marriage) to do it.
Asked for guidance and glad we did! Has been a wonderful experience getting to know our pastor and believe it or not, my future husband! Growing, learning, it's a wonderfully reassuring experience! I would recommend PREPARE/ENRICH to anyone!
Take PREPARE/ENRICH
Discover your strengths as a couple. Identify and learn to overcome your issues.
