Change a Life...Become a Foster Parent! Please share your story of a life that has been changed by submitting a brief narrative to Foster Parent Success Stories.
Opening our home to at-risk children has been a blessing to our family on several levels. Our children are learning by example about caring for people and are developing a greater appreciation of their circumstances. We've met some amazing families through fostering. Our own family has become a testimony for friends and neighbors considering making an impact on our community. Personally, the experience has helped us grow by being forced from our comfort zone into more selfless mindset, focusing on serving others. However, the largest blessing is seeing how a balanced family-life has improved the quality of life for the kids we've hosted and adopted.

The Detroit Free Press has included Hope women's basketball coach Brian Morehouse among the state's top sports figures and among the candidates for "Michigan's Best." Each year the newspaper's sports staff invites readers to vote for their favorite sports personality based on accomplishments during the previous year. Balloting is underway through Jan. 18.
Coach Morehouse guided the Flying Dutch to the NCAA Division III championship. He was named the DIII national coach of the year. The team posted a school-record 33-1 mark. All of the team's NCAA tournament victories were gained on the road and five of the six victories came against teams ranked in the top 10 nationally. The winning streak has extended into this season and has extended to 44 games. In 11 seasons Morehouse has compiled a 248-51 (.829) to rank among the winningest NCAA Division III coaches.

Richard is aided in his various bloody plots by his cousin Buckingham (Joe Mecca), promising him land and wealth upon obtaining the throne. But there are some steps Buckingham won't take, such as killing the princes, so he falls out of favor, his loyalty still not paid for, and eventually collaborates against Richard when he is the king. Another head rolls.
Although he has made enough alliances among the lords to be crowned, King Richard has his wife, Lady Anne, poisoned in order to marry his young niece, the offstage Elizabeth of York, the daughter of the former queen, Elizabeth (Rosanna Cavanaugh). The nuptials are forestalled — Richard isn't the only one up to trickery — and she is betrothed to the Earl of Richmond (Rob Roy), who will become King Henry VII, and who defeats King Richard in that fateful battle.
Got all that? Whew. And we thought our politics was busy.

Bladder biopsy is a procedure that involves removing a small piece of tissue from the bladder to be examined under a microscope.
Biopsy - bladder
A bladder biopsy can be done as a part of a cystoscopy (examination of the inside of the bladder). A small piece of tissue or the entire area of concern is removed and sent to the lab to be tested if:
You must sign an informed consent form before you have a bladder biopsy. Usually you are asked to urinate just before the procedure. You may also be asked to take an antibiotic before the procedure.
For infants and children, the preparation you can provide for this test depends on your child's age, previous experiences, and level of trust. For general information regarding how you can prepare your child, see the following topics:
There may be slight discomfort as the cystoscope (a lighted instrument used to look at the bladder) is passed through your urethra into your bladder. You will feel an uncomfortable sensation -- similar to a strong urge to urinate -- when the fluid has filled your bladder.
You may feel a pinch during the biopsy. There may be a burning sensation when the blood vessels are sealed to stop bleeding (cauterized).
After the cystoscope is removed, your urethra may be sore. You may experience a burning sensation during urination for a day or two.
Sometimes when the suspicious area is larger, you will need general or spinal anesthesia to remove the area in question.
This test is most often performed to check for cancer of the bladder or urethra.
The bladder wall is smooth. The bladder is of a normal size, shape, and position. There are no
The presence of cancer cells indicates bladder cancer. The type of cancer can be determined from the biopsy sample.
Other abnormalities may include:
There is some risk of urinary tract infection.
There is a slight risk of excessive bleeding or rupturing of the bladder wall with the cystoscope or during biopsy.
You will usually have a small amount of blood in your urine shortly after this procedure. If the bleeding continues after you urinate, contact your health care provider.
Also contact your health care provider if:

Slow cook a flavorful meal. Enjoy fish chowder packed with rice and veggies – an aromatic meal!
Cutting the fish into 1-inch pieces will be a snap if you use fish steaks that are 1 inch thick or use thicker cuts of fish fillets. Any firm-fleshed fish, such as halibut, haddock, swordfish, pollack, tuna or red snapper, works well in this soup. If fish is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator or under cold running water before cutting it into pieces and adding it to the soup.
The red cayenne pepper in this chowder packs a little punch, but if you prefer a chowder that's a little more tame, use black pepper instead. If you like really fiery chowder, pass a bottle of red pepper sauce at the table!

Military Employment Protection Bill Passed NYS Senate and Assembly
Albany, N.Y. – (06/23/11) – New York's public employees who are called up to serve their country will soon have one less thing to worry about. Their jobs! Senator Greg Ball (R, C – Patterson), Chairman of the Veterans, Homeland Security and Military Affairs Committee, sponsored and passed a piece of legislation (S4583A) that protects a public employees' job when they are absent on military duty.
"The last thing a deploying soldier should have to worry about when they go to war is whether they'll have a job when they come home," Chairman Ball said. "This is the least we can do for our brave men and women who put their lives on the line, and on hold, for this country."
The legislation was created following the layoffs of Army Sergeants Anddy Moreno and Alvin Taylor, who were let get by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) last year while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. The bill says that no public employer in New York shall abolish a position occupied by a person absent on military duty, based solely upon the fact that the positions are filled by individuals engaged in military duty.
The legislation passed in the New York State Assembly, sponsored by Assemblyman Robert J. Castelli (R, C – Goldens Bridge).
"It is beyond comprehension how the MTA could even consider laying off military reservists called to serve our nation during a time of war. I found the MTA's actions to be reprehensible," said Castelli. "While I was pleased that the authority quickly reversed its decision, this calamity showed the need for legislation that will provide enhanced employee protections for America's servicemen and women," added Castelli.
The legislation was co-sponsored by Senator Ball's colleague in the New York State Senate, Senator Bill Larkin (R, C – Cornwall-on-Hudson).
"It is unconscionable that men and women in the military who are also public employees would have to worry about being laid off from their jobs while they are serving their country on active duty," said Senator Larkin. "This legislation will provide our service members and their families with peace of mind while they are away on military leave. I wholeheartedly support this bill and commend Senator Ball for making it a priority this legislative session," added Larkin.
For more information or to speak with Senator Ball, please contact Ali Skinner: (845) 200-9716.

Curtain Rods & Window Hardware
When it's time to hang drapes and curtains, there are many things to keep in mind as you're choosing them, such as what color works best with the room, what materials you'd like and how much light coverage or darkness the room should have. Another important aspect of window treatments is the window hardware with which you hang them. If you're redoing all of your curtains, not only will new hardware provide you with more durability, it can also complement the look you're trying to achieve in the room. Allow Pottery Barn to provide you with a wealth of different rods, knobs, pins and more so that your look is perfect and polished in every room of the home.
For a classic, timeless look, opt for the standard antique bronze collection. This collection provides you with a wealth of different rod styles to fit any size curtain and window treatment needs you may have in the room. Opt for a straight rod with a ball finial on the ends or glass oval finial on a drape rod for an elegant touch. Double drape rods provide extra stability and come complete with ball finials or oval glass finials to suit your tastes. To complete the antique bronze look in the room you're decorating, opt for holdbacks in antique bronze as well as rings and clips to complete the look.
If bronze is a bit too dark for the room to complement its style, opt for the same beautiful designs, but with a standard pewter finish. Adding a bit of a lighter look, pewter merges well with neutrals, blue hues and pinks. In lieu of a glass oval or ball finial, consider a double drape rod with a square finial for a modern finesse. Rings, clips and holdbacks are also available in a pewter finish. For a bright, shiny look that is sure to catch anyone's eye, opt for the same single or double drape designs in polished nickel, which looks great with glass finials.
Those who would like access to different designs to create a different look may appreciate the vintage oil-rubbed bronze series. Look for rods and hardware with a deeply colored bronze construction with an antique feel that is sure to bring rustic charm to any room in the home. Rods can be ended with glass ball finials, mercury glass finials or faceted vintage finials for the best in a retro look. If oil-rubbed bronze seems like it would be too rich and deep a color for your room, opt for the same antique designs with an antique pewter finish. Also look for holdbacks and rings in either antiqued bronze or pewter to polish off the style.
For a simple, no-nonsense look that works well in any room, pick and choose rods and hardware from our cast iron collection. These deeply colored black rods, knobs and hardware go with any existing color palette in any room of the home, from enclosed porch to bathroom. Tapered or ball finials help you adopt a classic charm, or a scroll finial adds a more eclectic flair to the room. Cast-iron round rings, clip rings and holdbacks are also available so that your cast iron style can be complete.
If you are searching for hardware for outdoor window treatments, peruse the large selection of hardware made specifically for outdoor purposes. Resistant to weather and to the elements, outdoor hardware is durable and built to last for a long time. Opt for a pewter drape rod with a round finial to bring a charming look that offers durability and longevity for your outdoor spaces.

Welcome to the Careers in Psychology page. My primary motive in developing this site is to help undergraduate students learn what they can do with a degree in psychology. (Graduate students may find information of interest in the section, "Selected Web Sites Containing Career and Graduate School Information of Interest to Psychology Majors.") The resources on this page focus on: (1) careers in psychology at the bachelors, masters, and doctoral level and (2) academic information about psychology at the bachelors and graduate levels. Much of this material was developed for use in Careers in Psychology, a one-credit, required course for psychology majors at Georgia Southern University (see an old course syllabus).
I retired from the Georgia Southern University Psychology Department in 2004, so the GSU-only portion of this web site has been retired also. However, you can check out the current faculty, curriculum, honors, and related information about the psychology program at Georgia Southern here at the Georgia Southern University Psychology Department web site.
The information on this page is divided into eight sections. I have organized the sections in what is, to me, a logical sequence of development, so you may find it useful to review the sections in the order in which they are listed. On the other hand, you may just want to scan the section headings below and jump to those of greatest interest to you.
I hope that the information on this web site will open your eyes to a number of career options and educational pathways that you may not have known about or thought to consider. As you gather additional information about the various options, your career and educational goals will become more clear to you. Once you're clear about the kind of work you want to do, it's a relatively easy task to identify the courses, extracurricular activities, and volunteer work that will help you develop the necessary abilities and skills that will prepare you for success.
I would like to acknowledge the contributions of Dr. Janice H. Kennedy in the development of a number of the resources listed here and Dr. Russell A. Dewey for coding and editing these documents as they are converted for use on Psych Web.

Maori Party co-leader Pita Sharples has mooted the idea of allowing two male co-leaders within the party as one solution for the stand-off between himself and Te Ururoa Flavell for the job.
However, Dr Sharples also made it clear that he would prefer to remain as the sole male co-leader and retain the male-female split the party currently has.
The party's Council is due to meet again in mid-March to discuss Mr Flavell's challenge for the leadership, which was made public at Ratana last month. It is not clear whether the party will actually decide between Dr Sharples or Mr Flavell at that meeting.
Dr Sharples said discussions about potential changes to the constitution to allow a different leadership model would be discussed there.
He said that could include allowing two male leaders, but while it would be a possible solution to the current solution, he was not sure it would be adopted.
"There has been talk of looking at that option. But I don't think it will grow.'' He said he thought women would like to have equal status.
Tariana Turia is due to retire next year, but Dr Sharples has said he will stand again and is fighting to hold onto the leadership.
In a Te Karere DigiPoll survey of 1000 Maori voters released yesterday, just over half of the Maori Party supporters surveyed said they disagreed with the retirements of Mrs Turia and Dr Sharples. Asked who they believed should replace Dr Sharples when he retired, 52 per cent of Maori Party voters said they did not know, 39 per cent said Mr Flavell, and six per cent said Mana leader Hone Harawira.
Asked what he will do if Mr Flavell won the leadership, Dr Sharples quipped "write books.''
"I'm determined to go to the selection. Full steam ahead. I believe in the Maori Party.
We were damaged over the last few years and that's the reason I'm listening to people who say 'don't go - we will crumble.' I don't want to be the reason for us to crumble.''
In the same Te Karere Digipoll poll, 56 per cent of Maori Party voters also said they supported the Maori Party working in a formal relationship with National.
Dr Sharples said it showed that many people believed that, in the long run, it was better to be in government even if it was National-led.
"I think they're realising we have made some changes. People have forgotten that we actually saved the Maori seats.''

GLORY 12 Interview: Wayne Barrett Ready for War
- Written by Dave Walsh
Our friends at GLORY have given us a sneak peak at a video interview that they are going to be releasing later on in the week from GLORY 12 New York headliner Wayne Barrett. Barrett will have the unenviable task of squaring off against GLORY 10 Middleweight Champion Joe Schilling in what is definitely the fight of his young career thus far. Barrett seems focused and like he's done everything that he can to prepare for Schilling, but we won't know what that means until fight day.
So fine LiverKick.com readers, check out this video which you can view exclusively on LiverKick until, you know, it's released to the public.

Wineke: Why Obamacare will preserve our future
C3K columnist says Obamacare will lead to entrepreneurship
Lost in all the debate about Obamacare is the promise of what it will do to encourage our kids to take the risk of starting their own businesses.
Our current model of health insurance, based primarily on employer-subsidized coverage, just doesn't fit today's economic situations.
It worked for me, pretty much. When I was 49, I needed coronary bypass surgery and my company insurance paid for it, just as it paid for the diabetes supplies I needed until I retired and became eligible for Medicare.
Employer-supplied health insurance was a good thing for me; it saved me from bankruptcy and, most likely, saved my life. But it also tied me to my employer for the next 16 years.
I was uninsurable on the open market. In fact, some of my friends in Human Resources told me that a less reputable employer would have found some reason to fire me after the surgery because I was surely driving up the cost of the company's insurance premiums.
Now, I loved my job and I most likely would never have followed through on my fantasy of leaving at age 55 and becoming a parish pastor in some northwoods lakeside community. But the fact is also that I dropped the fantasy because I could never run the risk of being without health insurance.
But that was 20 years ago and economic conditions then were far more stable than they are today. Quite a few of my younger colleagues in the newspaper business have since lost their jobs . . .and their health insurance.
Other companies, UPS is this week's example, are starting to wonder why they cover the working spouses of their employees. If I run a company with good insurance benefits and my employees have spouses with less generous benefits, am I not being put at a competitive disadvantage?
When it comes to the young, those problems become far more troubling. It is highly likely that many of our young people will determine that, if they want jobs, they will have to create them.
This is a good thing. This is a very good thing. People who own their own businesses not only add to the economy, but they add to the community. They are the men and women who, eventually, join the Rotary and participate in the Chamber of Commerce. They are the people we think about when we wax nostalgic about Main Street America.
They are also the people who can't afford today's individual health insurance rates and who can't take the risk of having uninsured children and who will find it difficult to recruit employees for their new businesses if they can't offer benefits.
To them, Obamacare will be a lifeline to independence. It's a good thing.

From the Left Hand Corner: Three Rs
Back in country school days it was "readin'," "ritin" and "rithmetic." Now for this Democratic Party in Minnesota it's the right, the responsibility and, hopefully, the reasonable.
Minnesota Democrats (DFL) gained the right to govern as of Nov. 6, 2012. Minnesota votes granted that. We already had the governorship. We expected to regain the state Senate and, by some pleasant surprise, the state House of Representatives went Democratic.
It was a clear sweep, presenting opportunity and challenge.
So now, assuring the majority sticks together and doesn't fall prey to the internecine battles, as it did in the 1970s, the DFL is our governing force for this legislative session and the next.
With this right to govern comes a responsibility to govern responsibly. The DFL won its right to govern by fairly narrow margins. There was no landslide. There is no carte blanche entitlement to ramrod the DFL platform over and over into law.
I hope the DFL majorities do not succumb to the temptation to get even for the hardline overstepping of the more extreme Republican leadership of the past few years.
People are tired of extremists infighting. Hopefully they have also had enough platitudes and jargon and emphasis of fancy words and grabbing onto catchwords.
Let us hope that our DFL government can be open, direct and ready to speak and acknowledge the painful truths that exist. It doesn't matter how we got here. Republicans will say we spent too much. Some few of us will say we're undertaxed.
The truth in government, as in most other endeavors, is that you get what you pay for — and if you buy now, pay later, eventually later comes and you still gotta pay, with interest and a higher price.
We've robbed our schools and it is time to pay them back. We've allowed our infrastructure to deteriorate and now it's going to cost more just to repair, renovate and maintain without even building new.
It doesn't matter how we got here. We have to make up for the inopportune tax cuts of 1998-2000 and for the several budgetary school cuts, shortchanging and sleight of hand budgetary "balancing" of the last decade.
It is with a dire financial climate the DFL is called upon to exercise its right to govern now in a responsible and reasonable way. Hopefully it will.
To succeed it must operate responsibly and reasonably, because there is another "R" that is lurking not very far away.
The fourth R is for review, or scrutiny, if you will, that comes about inevitably on election 2014.

Which Way from Newton Aycliffe?
The Cycling Campaign this week received a query from a resident of Newton Aycliffe, asking about a "safe and pleasant" cycle route for families to use between the two towns. As this straddles two local authority areas, this is something that they would have to tackle through cooperation. But always wanting to short circuit such difficulties, we have decided to look at the problem ourselves.
Above is the section of the Darlington Cycle Route map concerned - green routes are labelled "traffic free path", brown "rough bridleway". The dotted green lines along the A167 from the motorway to the White Horse in Harrowgate Hill signify "walk your bike", an interesting concept for a cycle route map.
The Campaign will be sending out two members shortly to rekki the area. Reports to follow. Meanwhile, any on the ground experience from cyclists would be welcome on this blog.

All the bridleways are non-starters as far as practical cycle routes go. The lane to the west of the A167 (Patches Lane) is ok in the drier months but to be avoided at all costs through the winter, even when on a MTB ride. The bridleways to the east of the A167 are too out of the way, of too rough, to be of practical use.
I would use the road past Brafferton to avoid the motorway junction, to get me to Coatham Mundeville. From there I'd ride on the pavement until I reached the start of the 30 limit near the White Horse, where I would rejoin the road.
The A167 from Coatham Mundeville to the White Horse does have a painted hard shoulder, which could be used as a cycle lane, but it disapears at pinch points and isn't particularly wide. The pavement is very wide, and has no houses which open directly onto it; it also has very little foot traffic on it. I'm not a huge fan of pavement cycling, but this is one I'd happily ride on.
I have had stuff thrown at me from passing cars when riding along this road, so take care.
Of course, once you rejoin the road at the 30 limit, you still have the right-hand-lane-to-go-straight-on problem at the roundabout to cope with...

Thanks for that Mike. We went out today, and our experiences more or less confirm your ideas.
Patches Lane is appalling, and really shouldn't be classed as a cycle route at all, not to mention Whessoe Road on the way there. Even if it were developed, it would feel unsafe for many cyclists, due to its remoteness.
The pavement on the east side of the A167 is by far the most practical route and, as you will see shortly from the video we took, strangely and expensively paved as you approach the built up area.
Our only disagreement would be not to cycle past Brafferton - it's ridiculously up and down without gaining any altitude either way, a considerable detour (unless you want to stop for a pub lunch as we did), and the alternative has a shared cycle/foot path all the way to the motorway roundabout on the Newton Aycliffe side (south side of road) which has a good surface. Crossing the motorway is therefore not as difficult as it might seem.

Principal Wayne Kelley does not typically stand curbside as parents drop off their children at Garden Grove's Barker Elementary School. But on Monday, Kelley decided he needed to make his presence known.
As a morning parade of cars filed through Barker's parking lot, Kelley received nods and waves from jittery, appreciative parents, he said. Some even approached him to get personal reassurances it was safe to leave their children at Barker, he said.
"Parents seemed anxious; they said, 'Thank you for being out here, Mr. Kelley,'" he recalled. "We're certainly not walking around here in our little world today."
On the first full day of school since Friday's mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 elementary school children dead, local school administrators and teachers were grappling with how to reassure parents that schools remained safe – and how best to talk to impressionable youth about the massacre that shattered the Sandy Hook Elementary School community.
"For most of our educators, this unfortunately isn't a new subject and they've had some training about how to have age-appropriate discussions," said Alan Trudell, a spokesman for the Garden Grove Unified School District. "We also respect that some parents don't share this kind of story with their kids."
Local school districts reported they were working full steam ahead Monday to disseminate information to parents about how schools are rehearsing and fine-tuning emergency protocols. Districts also said they were working to explain to parents how they work with law enforcement to assess potential threats, and how they were evaluating what else, if anything, could be done to improve safety.
"Parents want to know that plans are in place, that we're not simply reacting to what happened in Connecticut," said Marcus Walton, a spokesman for Capistrano Unified, the county's second-largest school district. "We can't guarantee we can prevent a tragedy, but we do have procedures in place."
Capistrano officials used Friday's mass shooting to remind school administrators to be vigilant about following district safety protocols, including ensuring that every campus visitor signs in at the front office and that emergency drills take place as scheduled, Walton said.
Students and staff also were being reminded to immediately report anyone acting suspiciously, including through the district's anonymous text-a-tip line (unique to each school) developed in cooperation with the Orange County Sheriff's Department, Walton said.
Local school districts reported Monday that elementary school teachers were generally not initiating dialogue in their classrooms about the Connecticut shooting. Not only were many young children still unaware of Friday's massacre, but they also are not developmentally ready to comprehend and cope with the gory details, officials said.
"Individual teachers will deal with their individual students," said Greg Magnuson, superintendent for the Buena Park School District, which serves elementary and middle school students. "Young kids are very impressionable. If they ask us about it, we just want to reassure them we have safety procedures in place and that the tragedy in Newtown is a tragic, isolated incident."
In Santa Ana Unified, the county's largest school district with 57,300 students, officials activated a crisis team of psychologists and counselors to help students cope. The last time the district's crisis team was activated was 11 years ago, during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, said program coordinator Ernie Proud, a district psychologist.
Even so, Proud said, there wasn't an immediate demand from middle and high schools for crisis services; meanwhile, all elementary students in Santa Ana were off Monday for a scheduled teacher training day.
Some districts reported that they were beefing up security around their campuses.
On Friday, Fullerton police visited each elementary school in the city to speak with school administrators and be on hand to address concerns and answer questions, said Fullerton City Manager Joe Felz.
And Monday morning, patrol cars were dispatched to all elementary schools in Fullerton to provide a visible security presence, Felz said.
Meanwhile, the Anaheim Union High School District said it had requested and would be receiving from local law enforcement increased visibility at all of its campuses. Also, every Anaheim Union campus was directed to review plans and procedures on campus safety, Superintendent Elizabeth Novack said in a letter to parents Monday.
In the Newport-Mesa Unified School District, officials scheduled a roundtable discussion for 2:30 p.m. Tuesday to go over the district's safety efforts with police officials from Newport Beach and Costa Mesa.
"Due to the recent tragedy in Newtown, Conn., the board feels it is critical to hold this conversation now," the district said in a statement. "We understand the notice is short, but feel it is necessary in light of the current circumstances."
Orange County school districts said they were not aware of parents' keeping their children home from school Monday in response to the shooting – a move that experts applauded as the correct decision.
"Children should return to their regular schedules as soon as possible," said Arthur Cummings, coordinator for the Orange County Department of Education's Crisis Response Network. "Schools also have a wider range of resources to help children cope."
The Crisis Response Network is a 240-member network of counselors, administrators, psychologists, teachers and other school staff that works to identify students who might be struggling emotionally by listening and looking for those who appear distraught or overwhelmed, Cummings said.
These professionals are trained to work with families to ensure the child continues to receive proper care, he explained.
Back at Barker Elementary in Garden Grove, Kelley said he instructed all teachers Monday to lock their classroom doors all day – at least for the time being. The principal also said he's considering installing peepholes in every classroom door.
"We're just worried about someone in the area who might want to go out in a blaze of glory," Kelley said.
Even so, he acknowledged, "it's so fresh right now. I think once we all get on our winter break holiday next week, the anxiety level will decrease quite a bit."

Comment Re:Why use any hands? (Score 1) 221
I've read that ECoG's are being tested in prosthesis, which is very cool. I would think that a less invasive alternative (BCI is one, correct?) would become available before "brain implants" would be offered to the general public. The challenge as I understand it is regarding the sensitivity of the sensors, as well as the signal-to-noise ratio. Is there alot of development in this area, or is it limited to NASA?
Well in theory any Brain-Computer Interface is a BCI, whether it is based on EEG, ECoG, fNIR, or another technology, but I understand what you are asking and no, EEGs and fNIR are not considered invasive. At worst you are spending a lot of time for preparation (30 minutes or more when many electrodes are involved), getting conductive gel in the user's hair, or placing them inside a large machine for the duration of use.
Sensitivity of sensors is important, but removing noise and artefacts from ambience electrical devices and simple muscle movements (eyeblinks, twitch response, talking, etc.) are the greater issue. In addition you have to ensure that sensors are refitted with as much precision as possible in between sessions (a different position may yield slightly different signals or least the signals you used last time may be closer or farther away now), not to mention physical changes in the brain including neuron migration as a result of neuroplasticity - the actual act of training yourself to use the software produces changes in the brain to which the software needs to continue to adapt.
If you are interested to learn more, you may want to check out BCI2000 and OpenViBE, both of which are Open Source and produced by extremely well respected academic institutions.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Case of the Departing Drummer
I've entangled myself in some pretty dumb predicaments through the years. Of course, as I get older, it stands to reason that I'd want to share with the next generation how to stumble into similarly ridiculous situations.
Wisconsin's 2004 youth season started out great. A gobbler ripped it from a lone pasture oak, and then flew down and started sprinting up the woods edge toward us. He paused long enough at the corner of the field to gobble directly at us and then resumed his death run. Man, this was awesome. I was going to have a smoking-hot longbeard in front of my young hunter before the sun was up.
But apparently, the gobbler had not seen many turkey videos or read Turkey & Turkey Hunting. Halfway into his headlong charge toward our decoys, he ducked into the woods and out of sight. What? Why had he done that when he was seconds away from committing suicide? And more important, where had he gone?
Seconds later, a distinct "pfft-duuum" about 10 yards behind us in the brush answered that question.
I could have killed the longbeard with my pocket knife, but that wasn't the point. I was in charge of a teen-ager who'd never pointed a gun at a living thing, let alone tried to spin around a tree and get the drop on a point-blank gobbler.
Crap. If I told my young friend to ease around the tree and shoot, the odds of failure were high. However, if we didn't act, the bird would likely leave -- and I didn't want the kid's first turkey hunt to be a head-slapping, heart-breaking stunner.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

Situation on the Bulldogs' Defensive Line
Posted on 15 Apr 2011 by Brenden Hull.
Let's face it: the defensive line was one of the worst positions on Georgia's team last year. Nose guard DeAngelo Tyson frequently failed to secure the middle, and defensive end Demarcus Dobbs did not follow up on a fairly successful 2009 season. This resulted in Georgia allowing 147.23 rushing yards per game, which was 53rd in the country. However, all that has changed now. In fact, it's chang...

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
1-2-3 second inning for Cueto.
Rolen singles, Frazier 2-run HR! 2-0 Reds!
A gift from the Toddfather!
Domo Arigato, Here Comes Joey Votto
"I do what I want to do and say what I want to say."
--Bronson Arroyo
Meanwhile Frazier goes deep - 2-0 Reds.
Hope Ohlendorf is in this game for a long time. The Reds hitters seem to have him figured out.
Uh oh. Look out! Miggie just singled! He is going to carry this team for the next week!
"I got all of it ... I crushed that ball ... and it BARELY cleared the outfield wall. I settled into my home run trot ... then I realized I didn't even have a home run trot." - Bob Uecker
Hanigan double. 3-0 Reds.
Cairo singled, Hanigan doubled to score Cozart who had singled. 3-0 Reds and runners are on 2nd and 3rd with no outs. Time to add on.
Hope Will Venable's not hurt, he hit that wall hard.
Frazier has been huge for this team. Filling in for Rolen, filling in for Votto. Playing decent defense and producing at the plate.
All that for the team with the best record, and still if you put his picture on the monitor on ESPN Baseball Tonight, it would draw a collective yawn from the 'expert panel.'

Social notworking
After a bit over a month using Google Plus (with admittedly decreasing enthusiasm over the course of that time) I have no firm conclusions about what it's good for, except that it's incredibly good at reminding me how much I miss Usenet.
I could compare it with the other networks that people consider it "competition" for: it doesn't replace Facebook – for me anyway - because the whole world isn't on it, and that means I can't use it to stay in touch with friends and family. It doesn't replace Twitter as the the lack of a message length limit means it's useless for epigrams (which I like) and not much cop for status updates either (which I can live without) – though it does work as "source of interesting links" which in my opinion is the third arm of Twitter utility. And Google will, probably, be disappointed to learn that it doesn't replace LinkedIn be cause despite the best efforts of the Real Names policy enforcers, it still isn't quite boring enough. Yet, anyway.
But that's enough about Google+, what about Usenet?
- The unit of discussion was an article. Not a two-line throwaway comment or a single bit of "me likes this" information. When you read something on Usenet that you felt strongly enough to reply to, you hit 'r', you got the scary warning about "hundreds if not thousands of dollars", and it dumped you in a full screen text editor where you could compose your pearl of wisdom. Sure, so you could alternatively compose your "ME TOO!", but it wasn't a teeny text widget which practically demands the latter response: the affordances were there for writing something with meat
- It was decentralised. No capricious site owner could take your comment down because someone might find it offensive, or ban all discussion of certain topics, or refuse to allow you to post links to other places, or even that he was going to pull the plug completely and delete all your words. You might be reading this and thinking Godfrey vs Demon and you'd be entirely correct that it wasn't completely uncensored in practice – nor, I contend, should it have been – but there was at least a bit more effort involved in getting a post removed than clicking the 'I am offended by this picture of a breast-feeding woman' button, and that made potential complainants think a bit more carefully about whether it was worth it
- It had user interfaces that didn't get in the way. Really. I could sit in front of my computer for hours pressing only the space bar (maybe alternating with the 'n' key in less interesting groups) and it would keep the content coming. (And I did. I would blame my degree class on Usenet, if it weren't that the time I spent fiddling with Linux was in itself sufficient to leave approximately 0 time for studying. But i digress.)
The reasons it's dead are well-rehearsed, and boil down to this: it couldn't cope with universal access. It was built back in the days when people had access through their institutions or employers, and for the most part knew they could lose it by acting like jerks - or at least by acting like jerks consistently enough and outrageously enough. Come the personal internet revolution – the Endless September - it had no protection against or meaningful sanctions for spammers and trolls, and so blogs/web forums sucked away most of the people who wanted to just talk, leaving behind people who were by and large too much concerned with the minutiae of meta and much less enthused about the actual posting of content.
But it did do stuff that nobody else has replicated since.

Earl Klugh's Weekend of Jazz
The Broadmoor Colorado Springs
April 8-10, 2010
When I was 15-years-old, I began my radio broadcasting career… The year was 1979 and I was introduced to the music of a young guitarist named Earl Klugh… who played some of the most beautiful melodies without words that I had ever heard. I used to jump the playlist just to air Earl's music every chance I got.
It's a great honor to be a sponsor of the Weekend of Jazz at The Broadmoor since the first year! 2010 made for lucky #7 with perfect weather and amazing performances from world-class artists, making this year's event stellar!
Earl Klugh's Weekend of Jazz is in a league of it's own, offering a brilliant mixture of classic jazz and new music sensations in a setting that blends refined with rugged.

is our main library for resistivity modeling and inversion on unstructured meshs. Besides the modeling and inversion tools it comprises lots of tools for mesh generation and conversion and data handling.
It is written in C++ and can be obtained via CVS. Autoconf/automake is used to build the system on different platforms automatically.
We are not doing everything from scratch, but use external libraries, e.g. for solving equation systems or mesh generation.
Currently, it is only running under Linux, but the library and several applications have already been ported to Windows. In future all parts shall be able to get built on most popular platforms.
The code is distributed and updated via CVS (concurrent version system), please contact Carsten for an account describing what are you doing with it.
How to build DCFemLib? - a description. Building might be unneccessary and complicating for pure users. Therefore we are also distributing binaries for Windows and Linux 32 and 64 bit. Ask Carsten or Thomas specifying your Processor.
We are about building dcfemlib completely new in a project DCFEMLib2. It is much better readable and makes consequent use of template programming. For example there is an inversion class that just needs a forward operator and a mesh, so you can easily implement new inversion programs. Furthermore it consequently uses the generalized regularization approach such that the boundary weight and model weight can be defined very flexibly. Still we use the DCFemlib1::BERT for project building but can do the final inversion or modelling using tools as dcinv, dcmod, ttinv or jointinv, the joint inversion tool for ERT and traveltime data.

In animist Southeast Asia the origins of all life, and of the skills, knowledge and materials that sustain human existence, were taught to the community's forebears by the creating deities themselves. The most important features of landscape—from life-sustaining crops to topographical landmarks—are also the result of ancestral intervention.
Genealogies trace lineages back to significant ancestral figures as evidence of rights to superiority in the social and ritual arena of the village. More recent predecessors may also have attained the status of ancestral spirits, largely through the good offices of their living kin. Since ancestors continue to interfere, for good or ill, in everyday affairs, veneration through sacrifices, offerings, prayers and specific rites is necessary to ensure that their benevolence endures.
The creation and veneration of images of ancestors and creator beings is widespread among the peoples of Southeast Asia. The sculptures, which are attended to with great consideration, attract and are inhabited by the spirits of the dead. As ancestors are directly involved in fertility and plenty, pairs of male and female spirits are among the most prominent and important depictions.

BlackBerry Ltd. (BBRY) chief executive John Chen certainly is making headlines this week at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Last night it was broad-ranging commentary on his strategy as the recently installed head of the famously struggling mobile-phone company — read Tiernan Ray's full coverage here.
This morning it's Chen raising the idea of eventually spinning off the popular messaging service BlackBerry Messenger.
Here's what Chen told Bloomberg Television, as related by Cornelius Rahn, Hugo Miller and Caroline Hyde of Bloomberg News:
"Running a public company, anything to help our shareholders I need to take a very serious look at," Chen said in an interview today with Bloomberg Television at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. "Today I think we need to build up that base and build up the innovation model."
Chen's renewed focus on the instant-messaging service, known as BBM, and the company's business users has sparked a prolonged rally in the stock, which continued last week after Facebook Inc. (FB) agreed to pay $19 billion for rival service WhatsApp Inc. Chen, a former SAP AG (SAP) executive who joined BlackBerry in November, today unveiled a new encrypted version of BlackBerry Messenger, aimed at its core of security-minded customers.
"The potential is going to be huge," Chen said of BBM. "Until we get to the point that we can showcase that potential it is a bit too early to think about getting our $19 billion."

With the new Sideshow figures coming out in full force its time for all 12 collectors to redefine their expectations. What Hasbro started was grand, to be sure, but now Sideshow is taking it to a much higher level. In the midst of these changes there are many of us out there with grand ideas of what we expect or wish from sideshow. After the announcement of Jabba it is clear that there is no limit to what they can make. That brings us to the purpose of this new thread.
This poll is a deliberate examination of what we want as collectors. Its time for you to put in your voice to Sideshow. We will explore almost every character from the films and narrow down what 12 figures we wish to have made. By the end of the poll we will have two figs from each film as our most desired. The format for this thread will be of the same format as my 3 3/4 best/worst poll. Tagmac will also be running this thread with me, and by the end of every couple polls he will let us know who is winning the most votes. Please do not skip ahead in the voting polls, as we want to examine each group discussing varied ideas behind some of the 12 figs.
So without further delay let us begin the Sideshow 12 Poll!
There are so many characters in the Star Wars Universe that it is very hard to know where to start. Originally I thought of doing the thread scene by scene. However the truth is, its all about the core characters, so before we start looking at some background 12, lets look at two of the core characters that started it all.
ANH: Luke Skywalker - (Tatooine with Poncho, floppy hat, blast helmet, Stormtrooper belt, blaster, lightsaber, headset, binoculars and desert rifle)
ANH: Luke Skywalker - (X-Wing Pilot with lightsaber, and blaster)
ANH: Princess Leia - (Organa with pistol, blaster, and death star plans)
ANH: Princess Leia - (Ceremonial Gown with medal)
ANH: Luke Skywalker - (Ceremonial Gown with medal)
ESB: Luke Skywalker - (Hoth with lightsaber, binoculars)
ESB: Luke Skywalker - (Bacta Chamber, face mask and medical robe)
ESB: Luke Skywalker - (Bespin/Dagobah with removable hand, backpack, lightsaber, blaster, Food case, lamp, and _____________)
ESB: Princess Leia - (Hoth/Bespin escape with blaster, and removable heads with different hairstyles)
ESB: Princess Liea - (Bespin Gown)
ROTJ: Luke Skywalker - (Jedi/Death Star II) - RELEASED
ROTJ: Luke Skywalker - (Endor with blaster, lightsaber)
ROTJ: Princess Leia - (Boussh) - RELEASED
ROTJ: Princess Leia - (Jabbas Prisoner with chain)
ROTJ: Princess Leia - (Endor/General with pistol)
ROTJ: Princess Leia - (Ewok Celebration dress)
So which of these 12 for each film listed would you pick to be made?
ANH - Princess Leia Organa - Im picking her because she has never quite looked right as a 12. If anyone can do her justice its Sideshow. She has the potential of being a very nice figure.
For ESB this would be easy: Luke Skywalker with Bacta Chamber and Medical Robe with ease. Imagine seeing this realized in 12 form. I would like a nice Tatooine Luke, but all listed would pale in comparison to a Bacta Luke with Chamber.
ROTJ: Princess Leia - (Ewok Celebration dress) - This is a nice figure, and could make a nice 12 if she was fully realized.

Petition started for Wisconsin to secede
Nearly 5,000 have signed petition online
MADISON, Wis. - Some people who are unhappy with the results of the election have started a petition for Wisconsin to secede from the union.
Someone named "Alex T" of Wausaukee started a petition on a White House website designed to "have a voice in your government," asking for secession from the union.
So far, nearly 5,000 people have signed it. But Wisconsin is not alone, national media outlets are reporting that petitions have been started on behalf of resident in all 50 states.
"I think you should take it seriously as an issue, but there's no constitutional right to secede," said Donald Downs, a constitutional law expert and professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "You may have heard in the mid-19th century there was this thing called the Civil War, the most trying war in our history probably, and that was over the right not to secede."
Downs said that while other countries have seceded in times of tyranny, such as the breakup of the Soviet Union, disagreement over an election doesn't rise to that level.
"In general it's one that the burden of proof to justify moving that direction is exceedingly high," Downs said. "If you look around the world where secession has arisen, it has been in places where there have been clear cases of tyranny against the people. Is Washington in a situation of utter tyranny against Wisconsin? I don't think so."17412276
The White House website said that if 25,000 signatures can be gathered in a month on an issue, it will review the petition. So far, seven states have qualified, including Texas, although Gov. Rick Perry is distancing the state from the issue.
Wisconsin's petition only has about 5,000 signatures, and many of them appear to be from out of state.

JACKSON – The Republican leadership of the Mississippi Legislature and Gov. Phil Bryant felt good about the accomplishments of the 2013 session, which ended Thursday.
"All in all, I think this is an A session," Bryant said Thursday outside his Capitol office after seeing the Legislature pass many education proposals he had endorsed, such as charter schools, enhanced teacher standards and a literacy-improvement effort in the early grades.
The Republican governor praised the leadership of Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, who presides over the Senate, and House Speaker Philip Gunn for a legislative session he labeled "transformative."
Then there was Medicaid.
Legislators ended the three-month-long session knowing they will have to return before July 1 in special session to deal with Medicaid. Democrats were able to defeat legislation reauthorizing and funding the federal-state health care program in an attempt to force Gunn to allow a vote before the full chamber on whether to expand coverage to the working poor as part of the federal Affordable Care Act.
Everyone acknowledges Bryant will have to call a special session for the Legislature to deal with Medicaid.
He said Thursday he would call the session when there is an agreement – presumably an agreement where Democrats give up the fight on Medicaid expansion since he has said he is adamantly opposed.
While much of the Republican leadership tried to cast the blame for the inability to agree on Medicaid on the Democrats, House Appropriations Chairman Herb Frierson, R-Poplarville, who made an impassioned speech to try to pass the Medicaid budget earlier in the week, said he fears all members will be blamed.
"We're going to have the entire Legislature in a septic tank. When we climb out, we're all going to have the same poo-poo on us," he said, explaining that each side will be blamed, especially if they cannot come to agreement on Medicaid.
At any rate, legislative leaders preferred to talk Thursday about issues other than Medicaid.
"We have a lot of good things that I believe will make a difference in the lives of Mississippians for years to come," said Gunn, R-Clinton.
Reeves cited the education proposals that passed, including his plan to provide financial help to districts to put law enforcement in the schools. Plus, he said the Legislature was fiscally responsible in the budget it passed and the bond package it approved to finance long-term construction needs.
Sen. Hob Bryan, D-Amory, explained that he fears much of the education legislation will result in weakening, not strengthening the public school system.
He lamented the numerous tax credits and tax breaks that were handed out during the session.

Writing ink poisoning occurs when someone swallows ink found in writing instruments (pens).
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Fountain pen ink poisoning; Writing ink poisoning
Writing ink is a blend of:
It is generally considered nonpoisonous.
Seek immediate medical help. Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional.
Note: Large amounts of writing ink must be consumed (more than an ounce) before treatment is needed.
Determine the following information:
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
The health care provider will measure and monitor your vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure.
Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The health care provider may wash your eyes or skin to remove the ink.
Note: You may not need to be treated in a hospital.
How well you do depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment is received. The faster you get medical help, the better the chance for recovery.
Because writing ink is generally considered nonpoisonous, recovery is very likely.
