Tour at a Glance
Tour Overview
Let us take you back in history. Come aboard our air-conditioned transportation through the historic streets of Old San Juan for your first stop at the oldest Spanish fort in the New World, Fort San Felipe del Morro.
Built in 1539 to guard the entrance and defend the harbor of San Juan bay, this impressive result of Spanish engineering was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 and is part of the United States National Park Service. El Morro covers over 70 acres and has six levels that rise from sea level to 145 feet. El Morro Light Tower was built atop the fort in 1843, but was replaced with the current lighthouse in 1908 by the US military.
Upon completing an approximately one-hour escorted tour of El Morro, exit the fortress, re-board your transportation and proceed to Castillo de San Crist�bal, the largest fortification built by the Spanish in the New World. Here you'll spend another hour exploring this fine feat of engineering. When it was finished in 1783, it covered about 27 acres of land and basically wrapped around the city of San Juan. Entry to the city was sealed by San Crist�bal's double gates.
After nearly 100 years of relative peace, about a third of the fortification was demolished in 1897 to help ease the flow of traffic in and out of the walled city. Today the restored site features an extensive tunnel system, a guardhouse, main plaza, troop's quarters and real 200-pound mortar shells. Your tour concludes at Plaza Colon, where free time is provided to purchase souvenirs.

RIP Steve McNair and I wish a horrible death on the person responsible for his death.
I just heard about this, shot and killer at age 36.
May the force be with you.
When I first heard it, in my mind I was thinking Vince Young since I knew he had some issues this past season. This is sad. McNair seemed like a pretty good guy.
Could be a crime of passion. Maybe he was having an affair with the woman he was found with and the pair were shot by his wife or the woman's husband.
Weird War Tales: Featuring the Creature Commandos #105 November 1981 (DC Comics)
Yeah, or it could be the dead woman, too. I thought that might be the case if he was shot 4 times and she only once...or it could be foul play, who knows.
Whatever the case, it's terrible.
Reports are that police are not looking for anyone in connection to the killings. Most likely murder suicide!
May the force be with you.
Death comes in threes, they say, but lately it has been in elevens.
"The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is. But this I am sure of - do their duty the Jedi will." --Yoda from Attack of the Clones.
37-year-old former boxing champ Arturo Gatti was found dead. His wife has been detained as a suspect.

European initiative seeks ban on abortion
Anti-abortion groups from 20 different countries have launched a petition to ask the European Parliament to recognize that life begins at conception.
The "One of Us" initiative is the first of its kind in Europe and represents a larger effort to forge a cohesive continental anti-abortion movement.
The petition aims to collect 1 million signatures in at least seven of the 27 countries of the European Union by November, forcing the Strasbourg, France-based European Parliament to schedule a debate on the issue.

The ability to communicate with the spirit world is a significant path to power within a community. The precarious physical environment is further complicated by souls of the dead, ancestral spirits and nature deities interfering either benevolently or malevolently in human affairs. Communities rely on individuals with powers to communicate beyond the mortal realm in order to see, predict, mediate and control these uncertainties. Throughout Southeast Asia village priests, seers and shaman are highly esteemed and also feared for their extraordinary powers which are channelled to secure harmony and ward off disaster.
The widespread practice of sorcery requires village priests to perform rites that abate evil spirits and appease the gods. Priests and shamans require potent tools and medicines. Selecting the most auspicious day to hold a funeral, plant rice seeds, set out on a journey or headhunting expedition, or start the construction of a house requires expert supernatural authority. Through the consultation of magic paraphernalia, the correct moment is calculated for important activities to begin. Performed by village priests or ritual specialists, these procedures are essential means of maintaining the cosmic order, capturing lost souls, ensuring fertility and protecting villages against crop failure, war, epidemic and other disasters.

vintage AT-AT for $98.98....make sure if you've purchased any star wars the past few weeks at TRU, YOu go back and get credit for those purchases...deluxe vehicles are $12.99...all items are at least 10% off....
this would be a good week for WAVE 3 to show up at TRU...$8.99 per fig
If a vintage figure is $9.99 and has been marked down to $8.99, that is 10% off of vintage figures, not 25% off. 25% off vintage figures would make the figures $7.49 bro.
One way to out think people is to make them think you think they'll think what you are not really trying to get them to think what you think.

If we let him go we essentially gave up Paul for Austin Rivers and Aminu
While I do remember confusion as to whether or not Gordon was included in the deal, from what I remember the deal "fell apart" not over no Gordon but over no Bledsoe as a 5th asset in the deal.
all I know is when the Suns offered the Max to Gordon, Demps had to match it. We could no longer sign and trade him at that point. Our choice was sign him or let him go.

What has befallen Republican State Representative Bob Watson — arrested for driving under the influence and caught with marijuana in his car — is not all that surprising to me.
I don't enjoy saying this, because I genuinely like the man. But whenever I hear those in public life spouting off about "family values" — a tight-assed white boy formulation wherein all those who are hungry, cold, and have struggled in a world where peace and justice never seems to come their way, and pain, fear, and all manner of suffering is a daily visitor — I know that these people (in a phrase they like to use) "don't get it."
Indeed, the unfortunate tendency to explain to everybody else the proper way to live is a dead giveaway that you are full of shit.
It reminds me of the radio talk host, the Independent Mannequin, John DePetro. He makes no secret of his disdain for me. He spent an inordinate amount of time a few months back doing everything in his power to make my life miserable. And what happened? My life has never been richer and more joyful and he is still out there besmirching whoever is in his line of fire, planting little poison apple seeds like a demented John Chapman.
And why has my life taken such a wonderful turn for the better? Because I immediately stepped up and took full responsibility for what I have said and done, while all the bad karma cases I'm talking about continue to furiously scapegoat, blame, and shift the attention to everyone but themselves. I say just tell the truth and the truth will set you free.
Don't these people understand that living in a 24/7 world of hypocrisy and lies never works?
There's an old, much covered Piano Red song that goes, "You've got the right string, baby, but the wrong yoyo." It popped into my mind on Sunday morning while viewing WPRI-TV's Newsmakers interview with former Providence mayor and current Congressman David "Little Chi Chi" Cicilline.
Cheech was trying, once again, to explain the massive disconnect between his Congressional campaign rhetoric ("so proud" of his work as Providence head ramrod) and the knowledge that the city is in total financial ruin; facts and figures all readily available while he was running for Congress but denied at the time (and none too artfully).
Judging by the evidence presented on Newsmakers, Cheech's 'Splainin' to Do Tour 2011 is not going too well. Under intensive grilling from host Tim White and the panelists — former attorney general, former radio talk host, and newly minted playwright, "Ahhh-lene" Violet and WRNI's Ian "I'm going to every Red Sox home game this year and to hell with the job" Donnis — Cheech increasingly looked like some palooka who just stepped into the ring with Muhammad Ali, circa 1965.

8.1 Colostrum and breastmilk completely meet the normal newborn's nutritional and fluid needs (provides 17-20 kcal/oz).5 Colostrum is the least noxious substance if aspirated.4,5

Study undertaken to test hypothesis that infants who were breastfed more intensively during early infancy will be less likely to have excess weight during late infancy and to examine the independent impact of infant-initiated bottle emptying and mothers' encouragement of bottle emptying on infants' risk for excess weight. [N=1896] Infants' risk for excess weight during late infancy was negatively associated with breastfeeding intensity but positively associated with infant-initiated bottle emptying during early infancy, providing evidence for the potential risk of not breastfeeding or breastfeeding at low intensity in development of childhood obesity. Infant-initiated bottle emptying may be an independent risk factor as well. Unexpectedly, maternal encouragement of bottle emptying was negatively associated with infants' risk for excess weight.

Birth, 37: 50–58. doi: 10.1111/j.1523-536X.2009.00378.x Most infant feeding studies present infant formula use as "standard" practice, supporting perceptions of formula feeding as normative and hindering translation of current research into counseling messages supportive of exclusive breastfeeding. To promote optimal counseling, and to challenge researchers to use exclusive breastfeeding as the standard, we have reviewed the scientific literature on exclusive breastfeeding and converted reported odds ratios to allow discussion of the "risks" of any formula use.
Conclusions: Exclusive breastfeeding is an optimal practice, compared with which other infant feeding practices carry risks. Further studies on the influence of presenting exclusive breastfeeding as the standard in research studies and counseling messages are recommended. (BIRTH 37:1 March 2010)

The postnatal period of a new baby is characterized, microbiologically speaking, by the formation of a new ecosystem: the microflora of the human gut. In the last decade a number of articles have reported results on neonates microflora obtained by means of culture-independent analysis. Type of delivery and feeding method play dramatic roles in determining microflora composition. Data obtained in this manner are in agreement with those produced by selective media, but they also provide some new insights about the presence of anaerobic bacteria.

Been afk for a while since leaving uni, but now happy to be back online. Just moved to near Stevenage to start doing hardware design for Astrium satellites. Well, to be trained to do it! ;)
Got to sort out a modem and a phone line now.
Then going to have a peek at the GNU page - I just learnt of a bug in Emacs which means that it can't do line numbering if the file is larger than 388878 bytes (I think that was the number - wonderfully arbitrary isn't it?) Anyway - I want to have a peek and see if it's a known one - and maybe have a prod at it myself.

The Auction
Bid, bid, bid! Support the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association by participating in their live and silent auctions. This annual fundraiser supports the Santa Cruz Mountains wine appellation and its wineries by helping the Association promote this legendary wine region.
The Santa Cruz Mountain Winegrowers Association is an alliance of more than 70 wineries promoting wines produced from the Santa Cruz Mountains Viticultural Appellation. The Santa Cruz Mountains appellation was among the first to be defined by mountain topography, following the fog line along the coast to encompass the highest vineyards on the ridgetops as high as 2600 feet. The region encompasses the Santa Cruz Mountain range and extends from Woodside in the north to Watsonville in the south; from Monterey Bay along the coast to the Silicon Valley inland. Here one can be proud to support a small group of artisan wineries tucked among the redwoods along scenic mountain roads, or perched atop ridges with sweeping views to the sea. Visitors can meet the winemakers, enjoy legendary wines, and experience the natural beauty of the region.
Auction items will include rare wines, getaways to world class resorts, sporting tickets, unique private winemakers' dinners and much, much more.

- Description
This is the front of the Main Mound at Huaricanga, a Late Archaic (3,000-1,800 B.C.) site in the Fortaleza Valley, Peru. This platform mound construction is the largest in the Norte Chico. In front of the monument would've been a sunken circular court. The iconic huancas or large standing stones of Huaricanga are prominently displayed in the photo. Unfortunately, construction crews are actively (and illegally) removing material from the site for construction projects.

For a relatively small town (about 5000 people according to the 2012 census) Sayre has an amazing amount to offer. Our Borough Manager since November of 1997, David M. Jarrett mentioned to me one day that a person could live a very comfortable life in Sayre without stepping outside of the borough boundaries. After hearing this statement, I began to explore the possibilities.
As I thought about his statement, I realized that a person could be born at the Robert Packer Hospital. If you were that person, your education might be through the Sayre School System's Elementary, Middle and High Schools, http://www.sayresd.org/ or you might attend The Epiphany School http://www.epiphany-school.net/ for your Pre School through 8th grade education. Students in the High School and adults in the community have the opportunity to attend Northern Tier Career Center http://www.ntccschool.org/, a terrific offering to Sayre Borough students and adult residents who would like to obtain post high school job careers training.
Of course there is also the Main Link, a place that also offers Educational Workshops, Computer Skills training and Wellness and Nutrition Classes to Sayre residents as a Community Support Program. http://www.themainlink.net/
Once you have your education, you might want to work at the Guthrie HealthCare System, http://www.guthrie.org/ an employer who has more than 4500 employees with many of them working right here on the Sayre campus. The Guthrie HealthCare System also offers educational courses for those wishing to move on with their education. Want to start your own business? The Sayre Incubator is there to assist.
Careers in the Borough could also be found at the various businesses, day care providers, insurance companies and so many other places.
To sum things up… you can be born in Sayre, grow up in Sayre, become educated in Sayre, work in Sayre, you can have your taxes done in Sayre, you can find a lawyer in Sayre, an accountant can also be found in Sayre, you can become a volunteer in Sayre, you can go to a concert in the park in Sayre, dine out in Sayre (there are many good restaurants including fast food, carry out, ethnic specialties, dine-in restaurants and bakeries), buy ice-cream from ice-cream vendors in Sayre, get your groceries in Sayre, worship in Sayre, be married in Sayre, have the reception or other large celebration in Sayre, go to the library in Sayre, go to the movies in Sayre, buy gifts for friends at one of our shops in Sayre, buy furniture in Sayre, find a hardware/lumber supply store in Sayre, find an auto parts store in Sayre, have your car repaired in Sayre, purchase a new car in Sayre, purchase gas for your new car in Sayre, find a taxi in Sayre, go to the dentist in Sayre, go to a hobby shop in Sayre, use a storage facility in Sayre, have guests stay in a hotel or one of the bed and breakfasts in Sayre, be treated at one of the finest hospitals and clinics in the world in Sayre, attend a wonderful Annual Christmas Parade the Friday after Thanksgiving in Sayre, (thousands in attendance with more than 50 participating groups with floats, bands and more) and yes, even be buried in Sayre.
There are probably other offerings in Sayre that I have overlooked but you do get the idea, I hope. A person can live happily from beginning to our final days, here in Sayre, Pennsylvania without stepping outside of the borough lines. Sayre's a pretty great place to live.

Verizon's latest Thunderbolt ad (Spanish audio) has landed online and it shows a guy prepping for the arrival of the 4G LTE handset using some form of Doc Brown science. The thirty second clip has him jumping from rooftop to rooftop, connecting large cables together so that it can harness the lighting from the storm. We get a brief glimpse of the device at the end, but it's not really a secret anyways.
Another version of the ad exists online, but currently has its permissions set to "private". We imagine this one will go live any day.

Union Butterfield 1580(UNF) High-Speed Steel Thread Forming Tap, Uncoated (Bright) Finish, Round Shank With Square End, Bottoming Chamfer, H3 Tolerance, #5-44 Thread Size
Sorry, this item is no longer available.
Search our site to find another great deal. But hurry! With our low prices, we sell out fast!
Please note: BLINQ sells products in multiple conditions (new, open box, refurbished, etc). Not all reviews are reflective of the condition that you may purchase.
- Features
The Union Butterfield 1580(UNC)/1580(UNF) uncoated, high-speed steel thread forming tap has a round shank with a square end and is used for cold-forming right-hand threads in ductile materials such as aluminum, brass, bronze, low-carbon steel, and leaded steel. It is available in two different ANSI thread specification standards: UNC (Unified Coarse) and UNF (Unified Fine). It is suitable for threading through holes (extending through the workpiece) and blind or bottoming holes (with only one opening). The Rol-Rite design reduces tapping torque. The spiral lobe pattern with no grooves makes this design especially suitable for interrupted holes and for through holes in thin sections.
Right-hand threads are designed to tighten when a head or nut is rotated clockwise (the most common threading direction). High-speed steel (HSS) is a common general-purpose steel for cutting tools and is compatible with a variety of materials. With no coating or surface treatment, this uncoated tool can be used on a broad range of materials and provides an economical alternative to coated tools. The square end shank helps to minimize rotation in the tool holder. This thread forming tap can be used in machines such as drill presses or lathes.
Union Butterfield 1580 taps are available with a variety of chamfers. This tap conforms to ANSI standards and can create threads to a depth 2 times its diameter. Taps in this series are suitable for ANSI 2B and 3B tolerance classes: 2B is an average quality fit for commercial and industrial fasteners; 3B produces close-tolerance fasteners that resist loosening, as in aerospace applications.
Taps produce internal threads in previously formed holes and can be used in machines (such as drill presses) or with hand tools. Common types of taps include hand taps, spiral point taps, spiral flute taps, thread forming taps, and pipe taps. Hand taps (straight-flute taps) collect chips in the straight flutes of the tool; spiral point taps push chips through holes ahead of the tool; and spiral flute taps pull chips back from the tip of the tool, up and out the hole. Thread forming taps, also known as cold forming taps, press rather than cut to create threads in a drilled hole, and no chips are created. Pipe taps create threads in pipes and pipe fittings. Each thread type designates a thread profile and each type is identified with an abbreviation. In the U.S. and Canada, the Unified Thread Standard is the dominant thread type, including UNC (Unified Coarse), UNF (Unified Fine), and NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads, among others.
Precision Dormer manufactures cutting tools under the following brands: Precision Twist, Dormer, and Union Butterfield. The company has locations around the world, and provides tools adhering to ANSI, NAS, and DIN standards.

Report: Brandon Jennings off the table in Bucks' trade discussions
By Rob Mahoney
Recently re-upped GM John Hammond is reportedly pursuing a variety of leads and discussions that could dramatically influence the Bucks' roster going forward. Josh Smith, J.J. Redick and other available players have been linked to Milwaukee already, in addition to a number of scenarios that would see the Bucks ship out trigger-happy guard Monta Ellis. Yet no matter the twists and turns that these trade rumors take, ESPN.com's Marc Stein reports that the Bucks' most attractive trade pieces are off the table:
Yet amid all of those talks, sources say, Jennings has moved alongside Larry Sanders and John Henson on the Bucks' list of near-untouchables. This is despite Jennings' widely presumed desire to leave Milwaukee in free agency this summer after failing to seal a contract extension in October like fellow point guards Jrue Holiday, Steph Curry and Ty Lawson and then changing agents earlier this month.
Sanders was a presumed lock to stay in Milwaukee, while Henson's name hasn't often come up in recent trade rumors. Jennings, on the other hand, became theoretically -- if only theoretically -- available based on two bits of reported information:
• After changing agents, it was reported that Jennings would be chasing a max deal as a restricted free agent this summer.
• Chad Ford of ESPN.com reported (ESPN Insider access required) that Jennings and the Bucks had "irreconcilable differences." (When approached about the report, Jennings flatly denied the implication.) Yet even with those reports in mind, the idea of the Bucks trading Jennings when they run no risk of him bolting as a free agent made little sense to begin with. I have no doubt that other teams around the league may have been interested in acquiring Jennings, but why would Hammond and the Bucks be interested in such a deal when they can either re-sign Jennings on their own terms or match any formal offer that comes his way? That's not a power you give up on a whim, even with the risk of Jennings inflating his value a bit this summer. Whether Milwaukee should be building around Jennings at all is another question entirely (and a fair one, given his faults). But it appears that he'll at least be a Buck through the deadline.

Thursday the 28th of November 2002:
Since I once again had trouble sleeping I got up at around 2 AM and watched TV and some movies on cable but eventually I got bored with that so I deciced to finish off the Imperial Star Destroyer by building the tower and command bridge area so at 7.30 AM I got started.
The construction of the tower and command bridge area was pretty straight forward but building the detail parts that goes on the sides are time consuming and somewhat boring as its repeted building and I also managed to find another but smaller error in the instructions.
The error is as follows:
Step 14, page 161.
On the parts needed picture on the upper left corner its shown that you need a blue, part# 4274, Technic Pin ½ but you arent told how many of them you need but on the progress picture all 22 of them that you actually need are being shown already attached and in place.
Yes guys, Ive done my home work this time around.
Then it was time to build the Rebel Blockade Runner that are included in the set and its a very nice addition especially if you built the Ultimate Collector Series one and know about its real life size as it really shows how gigantic a real life Star Destroyer would be.
The last thing to do was to build the display sign for the set but I didnt add the sticker as Im thinking of designing a completely new stand for the Imperial Star Destroyer as the double stand is the weakest and most poorly designed part of this entire set and it doesnt look good.
After 7 hours at 2.30 PM I was finally finished building the Imperial Star Destroyer.
File closed.
End transmission, Thursday the 28th of November 2002.
Stay tuned for a full review of the 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer set.
Kindest regards,
Lars Sweden Olsson in Sundsvall, Sweden.

At the dollar store the other day, there was a display of overstocked hard-cover books. I was compelled to part company with a buck for one by British author Lynne Truss. It's called Talk to the Hand: The Utter Bloody Rudeness of the World Today, or Six Good Reasons to Stay Home and Bolt the Door. I'd guess most readers of this blog are old enough to imagine the content and align with the sentiment of this little volume.
As for me, it made me think of my upbringing. My parents were all about courtesy and the maintaining of good relations with others through politeness and respect. I recall one particular occasion on which I got to see how my mother practiced what she preached. Let me tell you about it.
My mother was a working woman throughout her life. All of her jobs--whether in sales, personnel, or secretarial capacity--required courtesy, grace under fire, tactfulness, diplomacy and self-control. People skills! And she had them. To her dying day, her public knew her as a gracious, tactful, thoughtful, kind person.
"Honey draws more flies than vinegar" was her philosophy, and "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" was her mantra. I heard these phrases over and over, throughout my childhood and beyond.
In the heat of daily life, sometimes it's hard to apply the Golden Rule, but I remember the day that I found out how to do it. We were sitting at the kitchen table when the phone, which hung on the wall in this central location of our home, rang. My mother answered it.
On the other end of the line was an angry neighbor, a man obsessed with his shrubbery, apparently. His issue was with our dog, my beloved Speedy, who habitually climbed the chainlink fence to freedom despite the trip-wire my dad had affixed at the top in an effort to contain him. It seems that, whilst on the loose in the neighborhood, Speedy had peed on this man's bush.
My mother, ever the diplomat, remained calm and courteous with the neighbor as he let his temper flare. I really had no idea how she was feeling until the call ended. At that point her public face and pleasant demeanor vanished, and she exclaimed at the hung-up phone, "Oh, pee on your old bald head!"
Although this incident took place almost half a century ago, it remains a crystal-clear moment in my memory, and it still makes me laugh out loud. Moreover, I learned a lot from the incident:
- You can 'do unto others' and say what you really think, but not necessarily at the same time or in the same place.
- Sarcasm is more appropriate among your intimates than with the general public. You don't have to say everything you think to everyone you know.
- You can use humor to defuse your own anger.
- You maintain good relationships with people by considering how they will feel about how you behave, not how you feel about how they behave.
Mom was a wise woman. She understood how important it was to keep peace within the community. Bad blood between her and the old bald head, or between any two members of the community for that matter, would have made social occasions uncomfortable, not only for the two but for everyone. Opinions would have been formed, sides taken, the fabric of community torn to some degree, and in the end everyone would have lost a little something--comfort, trust, goodwill, friendships, or maybe just some fun.
I'm sure I didn't understand all that at the time, but I get it now. And if you're among my intimates, it's possible you've heard me mumble on occasion, "Oh, pee on your old bald head!"... and then laugh out loud.

The Mizzou professor who confronted student journalists during racial protests was just charged with assault
A University of Missouri professor who called for "some muscle" to help remove a student journalist trying to cover the school's November protests over widespread racism on campus was charged with simple assault Monday. The footage capturing her actions went viral.
Communications professor Melissa Click, who still teaches at Mizzou, faces up to 15 days in jail and a $300 fine, the Columbia Daily Tribune reports.
In November, the university's system president and chancellor resigned amid criticism that he was inadequately addressing a series of race-related incidents rooted in a history of systemic racism on campus. Julie Kliegman
President Trump video-called the International Space Station on Monday, as one does, and he had some pretty pressing questions he wanted answered. "Um, Mars," Trump began. "What do you see [as a timeline] for actually sending humans to Mars? Is there a schedule and when would you see that happening?"
On the other end of the line was astronaut Peggy Whitson, who has just broken the record for logging the most time in space of any American. Casually bobbing in the ISS, she told Trump: "Well, I think as your bill directed, it will be sometime in approximately the 2030s."
She added: "Unfortunately, space flight takes a lot of time and money, so getting there will require some international cooperation, to get it to be a planet-wide approach, in order to make it successful … but it is so worthwhile doing."
That wasn't cutting it for Trump. "Well we want to try to do it during my first term, or at worst during my second term," he said with a smile. "So we'll have to speed that up a little, okay?" Jeva Lange
Trump asks when the US could send people to Mars.

Space is really cool but it also definitely has its uncool parts, like having to drink your own urine. President Trump found that out the hard way when he called the International Space Station on Monday to talk to NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson.
"Water is such a precious resource up here that we are ... cleaning up our own urine and making it drinkable," Whitson explained to the commander-in-chief. And because you were obviously curious, she added: "It's really not as bad as it sounds!"
The camera cut back to a giggling Trump. "Well that's good, I'm glad to hear that," he said. "Better you than me." Jeva Lange

Some of the prisoners freed in Obama's Iran deal were accused of 'posing threats to national security'
Former President Barack Obama announced in December that the Iranian-born prisoners released under the Iran nuclear agreement were "civilians" who were "not charged with terrorism or any violent offenses." But a Politico report published Monday revealed that might not have been the case:
In reality, some of them were accused by Obama's own Justice Department of posing threats to national security. Three allegedly were part of an illegal procurement network supplying Iran with U.S.-made microelectronics with applications in surface-to-air and cruise missiles like the kind Tehran test-fired recently, prompting a still-escalating exchange of threats with the Trump administration. Another was serving an eight-year sentence for conspiring to supply Iran with satellite technology and hardware. As part of the deal, U.S. officials even dropped their demand for $10 million that a jury said the aerospace engineer illegally received from Tehran. [Politico]
The prisoners were released in exchange for the freedom of five Americans. In addition to the seven men who were released, court filings reveal the Justice Department also "dropped charges and international arrest warrants against 14 other men, all of them fugitives," Politico reported. Three were charged with trying to lease a Boeing aircraft for an Iranian airline that allegedly supports Hezbollah; another was accused of attempting to buy and import thousands of assault rifles into Iran; and another was believed to have helped a network in "providing Iran with high-tech components for an especially deadly type of IED." But "the biggest fish," Politico reported, was Abolfazl Shahab Jamili, who was charged with getting "thousands of parts with nuclear applications for Iran via China," including "hundreds of U.S.-made sensors for the uranium enrichment centrifuges in Iran."
Experts contend the Obama administration went ahead because it was so concerned with the success of the Iran deal. "There was always a broader conceptual problem with the administration not wanting to upset the balance of the deal or the perceived rapprochement with the Iranian regime," said former Bush administration deputy national security adviser Juan Zarate. "The deal was sacrosanct, and the Iranians knew it from the start and took full advantage when we had — and continue to maintain — enormous leverage."

How do President Trump's first 100 days stack up against the presidents of yore? Not so great, as it turns out. Presidential historians who spoke with NPR ruled Trump "an entry-level president" and practically unfit to even be a White House intern.
"This man is without experience, and it's showing," said historian Robert Dallek, who has studied leaders ranging from Roosevelt to Reagan. "Particularly in his dealings with Congress, he's been an utter failure in the sense that he's gotten nothing passed. He's issuing all sorts of executive orders, like immigration limits; they're failing. The attempt to get health-care reform failed. I'd give him failing marks for his 100 days."
Richard Norton Smith has written several presidential biographies, including one on Herbert Hoover, who, like Trump, was a businessman before taking office. But "the problem with people who say we need a businessman is that the government isn't a business," Smith said, adding: "Profit-loss statements don't take into account the irrationality of Kim Jong Un. Corporate budgets don't have to allow for military defense. All these kinds of perfectly rational expectations that apply in a corporate world are rarely applicable in the less-than-rational world of politics."
The director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia, Barbara Perry, said it is even too generous to call Trump an "entry-level president." "Unless he would be an intern, he would not have a position in the White House — with no educational experience, no military experience, no government, no political experience, most of it was running for president."
She described his learning curve in office as "Mount Everest." "It's as steep as they come and ice-covered, and he didn't bring very many knowledgeable Sherpas with him," Perry told NPR. Jeva Lange
When the White House and top military officials gave erroneous information about the whereabouts and intentions of a U.S. aircraft carrier earlier this month — and then failed for days to correct reports — some critics claimed that the U.S. had jeopardized the safety of some of its closest allies. But how could such a monumental mistake happen?
Defense officials who spoke with Navy Times revealed that "over the course of 10 days, a series of gaffes and missteps throughout the entire national security structure to its highest levels would raise the specter of a nuclear showdown, send the U.S. and Chinese governments into crisis mode, and expose alarming communication deficiencies within the American military at large."
With North Korean aggression mounting in early April, the original plan had been to shorten the USS Carl Vinson's planned exercises with Australia and cancel its port visit to Perth, which would get it up to North Korea by the end of the month. But because an Australian port visit is "the holy grail" for sailors, many families had already planned trips to the country to visit their relatives. "The easiest thing to do, PACOM officials decided, would be send out a press release announcing the canceled port visit — making it easier for families to get their money back from airlines and letting all parties know why the Vinson wouldn't be visiting the Land Down Under," Navy Times notes.
Instead, "the media just went nuts," a defense official with knowledge of the situation said. Adding to the confusion, Reuters reported the Vinson was leaving Singapore for North Korea, although it was in fact headed south, to the truncated Australian training exercises. "Everyone from [U.S. National Security Adviser H.R.] McMaster and [Secretary of Defense James] Mattis to the president himself inaccurately stated what Vinson's intentions were," Navy Times writes.
"It's really shocking that they let this go for nearly two weeks without trying to correct the record," added retired Navy officer Bryan Clark.

President Trump kicked off one of his biggest weeks yet in Washington by tweeting about his proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall and the general election, which he won 167 days ago. He did not mention his fast approaching 100-day benchmark or Congress' Friday deadline to approve a budget or face a government shutdown.
His first tweet of the morning, about polls by ABC News and NBC News released over the weekend, was a carryover from his tweetstorm Sunday in which he slammed the "FAKE" media while simultaneously admitting some bits of its polls about him were actually pretty good. He highlighted that the ABC News/Washington Post poll found that "almost all" Trump supporters stand by their vote for him and 53 percent said he was a "strong leader."
He still wasn't ready to let either ABC or NBC live down their "totally wrong" polls from the general election though, after insisting Sunday he "would still beat Hillary [Clinton]" in the popular vote:
The two fake news polls released yesterday, ABC & NBC, while containing some very positive info, were totally wrong in General E. Watch!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 24, 2017
Trump then pivoted to boosting his plans to build a border wall, which he hailed as crucial to protecting our nation's youth:
The Wall is a very important tool in stopping drugs from pouring into our country and poisoning our youth (and many others)! If

Trump brags that he earned CBS their highest TV ratings since 'the World Trade Center came down'
President Trump bragged he helped CBS's Face the Nation news program earn its highest television ratings since the September 11 World Trade Center attacks during an incredible interview with The Associated Press published Sunday evening. Trump called the achievement a "tremendous advantage."
"It's interesting," Trump said. "I have, seem to get very high ratings ... You know, Chris Wallace had 9.2 million people, it's the highest in the history of the show. I have all the ratings for all those morning shows. When I go, they go double, triple. Chris Wallace, look back during the Army-Navy football game, I did his show that morning."
Trump went on to put his ratings in some questionable context:
TRUMP: It had 9.2 million people. It's the highest they've ever had. On any, on air, (CBS Face the Nation host John) Dickerson had 5.2 million people. It's the highest for Face the Nation or as I call it, "Deface the Nation." It's the highest for "Deface the Nation" since the World Trade Center. Since the World Trade Center came down. It's a tremendous advantage. [The Associated Press]
The interview saw Trump at what the Toronto Star's Daniel Dale called "the most honest [he] has ever been about his TV obsession," too. "I don't watch CNN anymore," Trump told the AP. "I don't watch MSNBC anymore. I don't watch things, and I never thought I had that ability. I always thought I'd watch." Read the full interview at AP here. Jeva Lange

The Independent Payment Advisory Board is perhaps the most mischaracterized part of the health-care reform law -- which is saying something, given how many false charges have been hurled at the Affordable Care Act. The IPAB was designed to be a backstop to make sure the health-care system makes a transition from fee-for-service payments to payments based on value.
Because both sides of the political aisle agree that we need to move away from fee-for-service, you would think the IPAB would enjoy support from Democrats and Republicans alike. That bipartisan appeal was reflected in the vaunted bipartisan Bowles-Simpson budget commission report, which proposed strengthening the board.
The IPAB -- a group of 15 health experts -- was designed by the Barack Obama administration, however, and so by the new, hyperpartisan laws of political economy, conservatives have a duty to criticize it. The most recent critique can be found in a misguided Wall Street Journal editorial.
Before we get to the IPAB, let's look closer at the needed shift in the way payments are made for health care. A white paper from TriZetto Group Inc., a health information-technology and management company, assessed this core problem more accurately than the Wall Street Journal editorial board did.
"Providers, especially physicians, control the majority of healthcare costs through decisions about diagnosis and treatment," the TriZetto authors wrote, and they correctly emphasized the need for "direct modification of the behaviors of providers (versus consumers or payers)." The Wall Street Journal, like Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan in his budget proposal, instead focuses on pushing consumers and payers to make more economical choices. (Disclosure: In 2010, TriZetto paid me to speak at a conference.)

Walker says no decision made on insurance plan
State group insurance board set to consider proposal next week
Gov. Scott Walker said the state should get more information on changing the state health insurance system, but the idea is already drawing fire.
Walker is stressing that no decision has been made, but said it's in the state's best interest to gather more information on whether the state should move to a self-insurance system.
Speaking to reporters at the World Dairy Expo Wednesday, Walker said the state group insurance board is studying the issue and no decision has been reached on what to do.
A study late last year found that if the state self-insured or paid directly for employee health care costs, they could save $20 million. But since they wouldn't know exactly how much those costs could be, switching could cost the state $100 million more.
The study was updated in August to say that savings could be 4-5 percent over costs now because of avoiding new taxes and fees from the Affordable Care Act. The study also said that competition among the 18 HMOs providing health care now already was saving the state money, and any change could cause major provider disruption around the state.
"We have not proposed a plan," said Walker. "We may find after all that we're going to stay with the status quo, we may find we're going to change, we may find some sort of a hybrid, but there have been no conclusions made in that regard."
"We would think this would be a horrible thing," said AFSCME Executive Director Marty Beil. "Some people would say this would be a single-payer plan, and maybe so. But for Walker and his gang to do this, they haven't done anything right."
The Wisconsin Association of Health Plans declined to comment to WISC-TV. A spokesman for Physicians Plus said Wednesday they believe the current competitive model is working to keep costs down.
The state group insurance board is set to consider next Friday whether or not to put out an official request for proposals for someone to administer this system. The governor said that's because they couldn't get enough information through research so far.
Beil said he's afraid it's because they plan to go ahead no matter what.

I got it. I had to change the routing grid from 50 to 10.
You can create a Grid alias. Basically set the grid the way you want it. Then right-click on the Grid icon (it's at the very top, right under the Open one), select New and give it a name. Now regardless of what you're doing, regardless of what the current grid is, you can right-click on the grid icon and select the one you created. Voila. You can do this both for the board and schematic views.

Workshop on OpenMP Applications and Tools (WOMPAT)
WOMPAT 2002 Announcement ======================== Dates: August 5-7, 2002. Location: Arctic Region Supercomputing Center, University of Fairbanks, Fairbanks, ALASKA.
The Workshop on OpenMP Applications and Tools (WOMPAT 2002) will serve as a forum for users and developers of OpenMP to meet, share ideas and experiences, and to discuss the latest developments in OpenMP and applications.
WOMPAT2002 follows a series of workshops on OpenMP, such as WOMPAT2001, EWOMP2001, and WOMPEI2002. It is part of the cOMPunity initiative whose main objective is the dissemination and exchange of information about OpenMP. (See http://www.compunity.org/ for more details of this activity and contents of past meetings.)
WOMPAT2002 is co-sponsored by the OpenMP Architecture Review Board.
Contributions are welcome and a one page extended abstract, either ASCII text or pdf, should be sent to:firstname.lastname@example.com
The deadline for submission of abstracts is April 19th. More details of the meeting can be found at http://www.compunity.org/ shortly. See issue 217 ). Out of the huge number of MPI operations available, there is a small portable subset -- and a small number of portable ways to use that subset.
In general, codes get to be more robust as they are ported to different systems. Compilers tend to interpret "correct" code uniformly, and differ on the weird stuff. If a program works the same way on several different systems, it's also more likely to be easily maintainable and scalable. Thus it will also better survive system upgrades and their inevitable retirement.
You may notice there are some familiar elements from software engineering in the above list. Looking at requirements and design as much as possible on paper first (as opposed to just sitting down and coding) has been recognized as good practice for decades. If you can't draw a good picture of how the data needs to move around, you'll probably spend much longer coding -- with less chance of it working correctly in the end -- than if you had done the preliminary work.
Making sure code continues to work correctly while adding a new message passing scheme can be difficult. If a data set is 3D, visualizing in 3D can save a lot of headaches. I've found that visualization, combined with some numerical check (i.e. iterating over all values in an output file, checking that all differences fall within an allowable tolerance range from an output file as produced by a verified run of the original code) works best. The shortcomings of each are compensated by the other.
So far I've only started on the test code. The original is far too cumbersome for repeated trials. The savings in compile time alone far exceed the time required to create the test. It's also easier to fit how the test code works into my little brain, focusing on one problem at a time.
Out of all of the absurdities of life, this one is pretty small. If Nietzsche could conclude "that which does not kill us makes us stronger" after pondering many of the bigger strangenesses of how hard-won things so easily shift to irrelevancy in the modern world, I can rewrite a little program. I figure I'll just have to be philosophical about it... Fortunately, with all of the different systems on which to test the code (MPI is available on ARSC's IBM, Crays, SGIs, and Linux cluster) and all of the helpful people at ARSC it is quite possible to write a program that will be robust and portable -- thus far better able to withstand the constant change on the systems where it must run.

Make beefy chili a cut above the rest. With sirloin and three kinds of beans, you've found a chili that will satisfy hearty appetites.
Browning the beef gives this chili rich flavor. To avoid simmering the beef instead of browning it, make sure you brown it in batches rather than all at once.
Leftover chili is great served over spaghetti, added to tacos or burritos or spooned over a baked potato and sprinkled with cheese.

In a historic oral argument on a challenge to state laws that limit marriage to heterosexual couples, the Supreme Court indicated Tuesday that it might not strike down such laws.
The justice whom many observers view as the swing vote in the case, Justice Anthony Kennedy, voiced worry at one point during the argument that proponents of same-sex marriages were asking the court to issue a decision that would "go into uncharted waters."
After the oral argument, Pete Williams of NBC News reported that it seemed "quite obvious that the U.S. Supreme Court is not prepared to issue any kind of sweeping ruling" declaring that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry.
Advertise | AdChoices
Williams said there seemed to be "very little eagerness" from any of the justices to "embrace that broad a ruling."
At issue Tuesday was California's Proposition 8, the state constitutional amendment enacted by voters in 2008 that limits marriage to one man-one woman couples. Those seeking to have the court strike down Proposition 8 argue that the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment includes a right for same-sex couples to marry.
Williams said that both the liberal and the conservative justices seemed wary of issuing a decision that would apply to any state outside of California.
It seemed possible the court would not issue any ruling on marriage at all – deciding instead that it had made a mistake in even agreeing to hear the case since the plaintiffs, supporters of Proposition 8, might lack the legal standing to bring the suit.
"I just wonder if the case was properly granted," Kennedy said at one point to attorney Theodore Olson who was representing those challenging the California law.
if this does happen would this establish a precedent that any state that currently has gay marriage could not outlaw it (this was basically the verdict in the Walker courtroom, that a state could not take away a right that has been granted, ie, gay marriage) ?
I'm pretty sure this make the decision pretty narrow. Meaning it only applies to CA. It definitely will only apply to CA if it gets pushed down to the CA state supreme court.
What do you mean the CA state supreme court? What will they have to do with it?
I don't think Prop 8 case will be a biggest case, it will be DOMA case.
Maybe I'm confused, but I thought the CA supreme court initially ruled Prop 8 unconstitutional based on the CA constitution. I'm probably wrong. Sorry.
I was afraid of this. They aren't ready. It sounds like they're not going to take the Prop 8 case at all because of the standing issue.
seriously...what the frick is wrong with you?
I don't understand what you're talking about.
Give it another then years and they will though.
seriously...what the frick is wrong with you?

He's gay.
You KNOW that I am an advocate for your side...but, are you suggesting that if the SCOTUS were to come to the conclusion that there is no standing in this case, you would STILL want them to issue a ruling that you like?

It sounds like they're not going to take the Prop 8 case at all because of the standing issue. If that happens, gay marriage will be legal in California but would not apply to any other state.
No it was ruled unconstitutional in federal district court and then this was affirmed by a three member panel on the Ninth Circuit. The full NInth Circuit declined to hear the case. If the SCOTUS declines to take the case, it would then unspool back to the NInth Circuit, where the verdict would stand
