Mexico inaugurated new President Enrique Peña Nieto for a six-year term on Saturday, December 1, in Mexico City, the country's capital. Peña Nieto, 46, is a member of Mexico's centrist, or moderate, Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the former governor of central Mexico state, one of 32 states in the country. "I promise to uphold the constitution and its laws and to carry out loyally and patriotically the job of President of the republic," Peña Nieto said. "If I don't, the people will demand it."
Peña Nieto, who won 38% of the vote during the country's election in July, has also promised a democratic and transparent government. His party had ruled Mexico for 71 years before being voted out 12 years ago. The PRI's rule was plagued by fixed elections and other political corruption. Current opponents say the party hasn't changed. Protestors were present inside and outside the congressional chamber during Peña Nieto's inauguration. Some behaved violently, vandalizing store windows and throwing stones and firecrackers at police. The police responded by spraying tear gas. At least eight people were injured and 92 were arrested during the violence, according Marcelo Ebrard, the mayor of Mexico City.
A few days before the inauguration, then President Elect Peña Nieto visited the White House to meet with President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "What happens in Mexico has an impact on our society," Obama said. The leaders discussed immigration reform, trade and drug violence.
Hope for Mexico
After the inauguration, President Peña Nieto got right to work. On December 2, he signed the "Pact for Mexico," an agreement that sets goals for making big changes. "The country must be transformed without delay," Peña Nieto said.
Peña Nieto, known for his talents for dialogue and compromise, has pledged to focus on economic growth and job creation. The country needs it. While its economy is slowly growing, almost half of Mexico's 112 million people live in poverty. Peña Nieto vowed to help pave the way to a brighter future. "I'm feeling a renewed sense of hope and optimism about what we can do in the coming years," Peña Nieto told TIME.

Okay: raise your hand if you think today's strong June employment report moves up the Federal Reserve's timetable for winding down its $85 billion monthly bond purchases.
Look at that, a bunch of hands just went up. Let's call on Rick Rieder, portfolio manager of BlackRock's Strategic Income Opportunities Fund (BASIX):
Today's data gives the Fed the confirmation to move forward with its reduction in large-scale asset purchases (or QE tapering), and we think that this will begin in September and that markets are clearly pricing this possibility in today.
J.P Morgan and Goldman Sachs both just nodded in agreement, as they both moved up their forecasts today and now see the Fed starting to taper in September instead of December previously.
And here's Adrian Miller of GMP Securities chiming in too:
With the Fed taper debate seemingly all market participants and the media can think about, the much stronger than expected jump in June jobs has only heightened expectations of a Q4 2013 start to QE tapering, though the end date remains in question, in our opinion.

Amid reports that the Phils-Jays talks are not going well—but keep in mind that the teams are mid-negotiation and their dynamic could very easily change soon—I'm hearing more about Phils-Indians. Baseball sources say that Cleveland will send scouts to watch the Reading Phillies tonight and for the next several nights, demonstrating that a Cliff Lee-to-Phils deal remains a possibility.
Kyle Drabek pitches tonight for Reading, though the Phillies do not believe that would have to part with their top pitching prospect to acquire Lee, the 2008 A.L. Cy Young Award winner. A baseball source also said that the Indians will "double up" their scouts to watch Vance Worley pitch on Thursday. Worley, a righthander, is 6-8 with a 5.68 ERA this year.
A person with direct knowledge of the Jays thinking told the Inquirer that the team is done scouting the Phillies, though it would not be out of the realm of possibility for them to take one more look at Drabek tonight.
In other news on the Plan B Watch, lefty Jarrod Washburn pitches for Seattle tomorrow night. While the Phillies have always favored the idea of acquiring Roy Halladay, Seattle's Erik Bedard and Washburn have been on their radar, as well as Lee. With Bedard now on the disabled list—and one member of the Phillies staff recently questioned to me Bedard's desire to pitch deep into games, anyway—Lee and Washburn remain the two most logical non-Halladay options.
Plus, the loss of Bedard would seem to make the Mariners more likely to trade off players at the deadline. Ruben Amaro Jr. declined to say whether the Phils would send a scout to watch Washburn tomorrow.
Bottom line: They still want the horse. I'm not saying that a Lee or Washburn deal is likely, or even close. I am saying that Phils continue to consider all possibilities.

GRAMMY-nominated R&B/gospel singer Mavis Staples turned the Clive Davis Theater at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles into an effervescent church revival when she visited on Aug. 30 to talk about her life, music and sing a few songs for an intimate audience of 200.
Staples has had a career resurgence of sorts in the last decade. Three of her four GRAMMY nominations have come since 2003, and she has worked with an impressive variety of artists and labels over that time as she continues to explore the connection between her religious faith and social justice. She has recorded for the blues label Alligator Records and for the post-punk imprints Anti- and Epitaph Records, and she has both produced her own work and had the likes of GRAMMY-winning guitarist Ry Cooder helm a project. Her new album, You Are Not Alone, released Sept. 14, was produced by Wilco leader Jeff Tweedy, a fellow Chicagoan, and features songs by John Fogerty, Randy Newman, Allen Toussaint, Tweedy, and Mavis' late father, Roebuck "Pops" Staples.

I try to not read anything about Ep.2 so if I'm missing something, please clue me in.
Why the new outfit? Why not just Clones in Stormtrooper gear? The Imperial Guard is the same, why aren't the Empire's shock troops? Are we even going to see Stormtroopers in this trilogy? I want to see examples of their legendary aiming skills. lol. Does anyone know the deal with this situation? Like maybe the Clone Trooper is another variation? Like Snow and Sand and Scout.

Nathan "Carnage" Corbett Signs With GLORY
- Written by Rian Scalia
Nathan "Carnage" Corbett has been one of the most sought after fighters by fans to make the jump over to kickboxing and fight big names, and it looks like it's finally going to happen. Today it was announced by Mark "The Hammer" Castagnini on the Hammer Time Fight Show that Corbett had signed a two fight deal with GLORY.
Demand for Corbett in GLORY had been high prior to the signing, with rumors going back of the promotion pursuing the Australian fighter for quite some time now. Corbett is of course the best heavier weight Muay Thai fighter in the world, and one of the main reasons why he's held in such high regard is his fight with Tyrone Spong in 2009, where Corbett knocked Spong out but ended up with a no contest to show for it. He's mainly stuck to fighting in Muay Thai with a kickboxing bout here and there.
Corbett fights at 95kg, the weight where Tyrone Spong just won the eight man light heavyweight tournament. It seems like they're destined to fight again, now that they're in the same promotion. According to Castagnini, Corbett will debut with GLORY in October in Chicago.
Corbett's last fight came in April, where he knocked out Kamil Sokolowski in the first round. In 2012, he defeated fellow GLORY fighters Steve McKinnon (for the second time) and Stephane Susperregui.

The most potent all-in-one streaming and gaming device around is smaller in size but more capable than ever. Check out our first hands-on impressions.
The Denon AVR-S920W is an excellent mid-priced Atmos-ready receiver, with plenty of home cinema muscle and excellent usability.
The latest version of Google's tiny streamer, dubbed Chromecast Ultra, can deliver 4K resolution streams from Netflix and others, complete with high dynamic range, for an affordable price.
Forget the aux cord -- this Logitech Bluetooth Music Receiver is the easiest way to stream audio from your smartphone or laptop.
Lack of Atmos is more than eclipsed by excellent sound quality, making the Sony STR-DN1070 one of the best receivers at this price.
Yamaha has announced its first 2016 receiver, the RX-V381, which offers four HDMI inputs with 4K support and Bluetooth streaming.
The 2015 Fire TV is a potent streamer with 4K capability, voice search and a solid selection of UK apps, but it tries too hard to serve up Amazon's own TV shows and movies.
Apple TV is a gorgeous gateway to Apple's world of movies and TV, but the absence of major apps at launch hampers its appeal in the UK.
Sky's new Now TV box is a dirt-cheap way to get on-demand movies and TV shows from Sky and UK terrestrial channels, but heavy-duty streamers will find the lack of Netflix and Amazon apps frustrating.
This may be the easiest way to enjoy the endless choice of music streaming: just plug it into your TV and say the name of your favourite band into the remote control. It's not cheap though.
The innovative Chromecast might be the ultimate living-room accessory for your phone or tablet, but more traditional streaming devices deliver a better streaming experience.
Until it receives a major infusion of native apps and developer support, and better integrates non-Google services, the Nexus Player with Android TV offers no compelling upgrade over other streaming devices.
At Google I/O, the first hardware to run Google's new Android TV software was announced, including a gaming-centric "micro console" from Razer.
A great media streamer that will suit you perfectly if you buy everything from Amazon. If not, Roku makes better value boxes.
Unless you have very little to spend, this is one of the best streaming devices you can buy in the UK today.
The Roku 2 offers tons of content sources and an innovative remote with built-in headphone jack for less, but the Roku 3 is still our favorite pick.
Beautifully designed and incredibly easy to use, Apple TV is a top-notch product for those who are happy to rely on iTunes and Netflix for their TV and movie content. However, it still lacks support for UK services such as BBC iPlayer, which is frustrating.
A streaming TV box for £10 is astonishing value, although if you can afford an extra £40 you should pick up a Roku Streaming Stick instead.

Gluten Intolerance and Thyroid
While I'm passionate about alerting people to the dangers associated with gluten, sometimes a "back door" approach is also warranted. Let me explain: We know that gluten is associated with some many other diseases. From depression to migraines, from fatigue to infertility, from IBS to obesity, from diabetes to thyroid disease. So while we're alerting the population, in general, to gluten, what about also targeting specific diseases/syndromes and alerting them of the importance of screening.
In this issue I will focus on thyroid:
Thyroid autoimmune diseases are the most frequent autoimmune diseases in the population being present on average in 8% of the general population – this translates to 24 million in the US alone! [Ref: ACTA Bio Medica. "Update on autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes (APS)". 2003;74;9-33.]
Note: This blog has a professional as well as lay public following so another new feature is that I will cite my references specifically, as seen above, so that clinicians will have an easier time searching for the complete study.
We know that autoimmune diseases "cluster" together. In other words, where you find one in a patient, you often find more. Witness the strong association between celiac, type I diabetes, autoimmune thyroid and rheumatoid arthritis.
52% of patients with thyroid autoimmune disease can be considered affected by APS-3 (autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes) – in other words they'll be found to have other autoimmune diseases. [Same ref as above.]
Abnormal thyroid function is often noted in infants born to mothers with Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Graves' Disease, caused by placental transfer of maternal anti-thyroid antibodies. [Ref: Neurotoxicology. 2008 March; 29(2):226-231.] This means that the mother "bathes" the fetus and when the mother is suffering from an autoimmune thyroid disorder that can affect the infant.
And this is the point that I'm trying to make. We could dramatically improve the health of our population, especially our younger people, by screening them for the autoimmune diseases present in the family tree. The sooner we screen, the more able we will be to PREVENT these diseases.
Why is this true? Because antibodies appear in the blood years before presentation of symptoms in various disorders. [Ref: Expert Opinion Med. Diagnosis. "Antibodies as predictors of autoimmune diseases and cancer". 2008 2 (6): 1-13.]
And there's the kicker of autoimmune disease. It's difficult to reverse once much damage has occurred. You've set off the machine of self destruction and reversal can be close to impossible. BUT – screen for it and identify it early when the immune system "knows" about it but the damage has not yet begun and you've opened up a whole world of possibility.
Thyroid disease, as mentioned above, is extremely common in this country. We know there's an autoimmune component for many and we know that gluten is associated. Why don't we start early screening for autoantibodies in those whom have thyroid disease in their family? And why don't we screen those with ANY autoimmune disease in their family for gluten intolerance?
I am convinced this will make a huge difference in our health status.
As always, please contact me should you need any assistance.
Join me by spreading the word! Early diagnosis is critical.
Until next time, I wish you good health.

- natural thyroid supplements said...
If your dose of medication is not correct, among the first symptoms is weight gain. If your dose is correct, then you need to really see if your doing everything to lose weight. Just knowing that there is a problem is very frustrating.
As a hypothyroid patient, I avoid shrimps,crabs,soy and iced water. I also exercise daily and I am taking bovine thyroid for as long as necessary.
- bajenbe said...
You avoid ice water?? Why?? I have hypo thyroidism as well. I take 275mg Synthroid daily. It sucks. Weight gain is hard to avoid during the holidays!! Exercise is a must!
- bajenbe said...
Any other suggestions for vitamins for hypo patients? I have been on the medication since I was 13!!! =(
- The HealthNOW Doctors said...
@bajenbe - The real key is to discover other factors in the body that are putting stress on the thyroid potentially. Gluten intolerance and adrenal fatigue are probably the top two, in addition to any additional hormone imbalance.
That would be were I would start.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Dr Vikki
I have tried different alternative methods and natural thyroid supplements are the best one for me so far. I like to experiment a diet that I could combine together with porcine thyroid.

Journal Journal: Moderation option...
Every now and then I just really want a moderation option of "Factually Incorrect".
None of the negative moderation options really cover that.
Every now and then I just really want a moderation option of "Factually Incorrect".
None of the negative moderation options really cover that.
Granted, I was stuck at work, so I had to improvise some supplies. I think it came off pretty well.
A C|Net article, as referenced on Macintouch:
At the heart of the issue is the software industry push for "responsible" disclosure, which calls on researchers to delay the announcement of security holes so that manufacturers have time to patch them. That way, people who use flawed products are protected from attack, the argument goes. But the approach also has benefits for software makers, a security expert pointed out.
"As long as the public doesn't know the flaws are there, why spend the money to fix them quickly?" said Bruce Schneier, chief technology officer at Counterpane Internet Security, a network monitoring company. "Only full disclosure keeps the vendors honest."
Hey - I have a solution! Who not simply say "Our policy is to release the details of the hole exactly one month after notifying the company."?
Mr. Schneier is correct - only full disclosure will keep the vendors honest. I do not see how giving a set time before releasing the exploit causes problems with this.
Now, I will say it is very possible that the article was written to have these two somewhat unrelated paragraphs next to each other. One seems to be talking about an embargo for a while after notifying the company, and the Counterpane quote seems to be talking about justifying releasing the information at all.
So there was a huge disaster in the countries surrounding the Indian Ocean. Tens of thousands of people, if not hundreds of thousands of people, died and will die due to a natural disaster.
People are giving millions of dollars to organizations like the Red Cross and Doctors without Borders. I applaud these efforts. The President of the United States, has enlisted two former Presidents, George Bush and Bill Clinton, to help raise money for the relief efforts.
It would make so much sense if there was a very organized body that would collect money from everyone and then make informed decisions of what to do with the money. This organization would collect money from everyone and then donate it to worthy organizations, and do worthy things with the money. In fact, it would be even better if the collections were done straight from everyone's paychecks. Better yet, make it pre-tax. We could do it based on how much money you made each year, so poor people would not be expected to donate as much as a wealthy person.
As citizens we would feel good even if we did not donate to the Red Cross. We could honestly say "I gave at work, through my paycheck." The donations would be made on behalf of all Americans, and would show that we, as a nation, cared. It would show that we had the foresight to put aside money and people to deal with things on a city, state, and country-wide basis. We would share, as a country, the wealth that we had produced.
We could nominate and choose people who we think would be responsible for that money and make intelligent decisions on what to do with it. They would impose good budgetary practices so they would not take too much, but make sure they had enough to make a very generous donation when something like the tsunami hit. They would not waste the money, and only use it in very necessary times.
If we had such an organization, George W. Bush would not have to ask for private contributions. He would not have to enlist two former Presidents to raise money for private organizations to help. He would just have to turn to this national organization and ask that we send enough money to the countries in their time of most need...
That would be nice...
I got this email today:
For those of you who have heard rumors that the Dancin' Outlaw passed away, I have an update. Jesco White continues to live in Boone County, West Virginia. I just got off of the phone with my brother, a big Jesco fan. He is on his way to D.C. for the week. While traveling through West Virginia, he had a wild hair to find Jesco--and did. He called just after he left the trailer. Keith got the sheriff to take him up to Jesco's holler. Keith just walked up to the door, knocked and waited. Jesco answered the door and invited him in. They spent 30 minutes or so talking, catching up on the family, etc. He got his picture made with him and left with an autographed DVD of both Dancin' Outlaw parts I and II.
Jesco is off drugs now, but he does have an affection toward Sharpie markers.
:) Norma Jean is in a home in Charleston but visits on the weekends. The Miracle Woman has moved to Minnesota and is living with one of her kids out there. She did recently break her arm. As you may have heard, Dorcey kilt himself a while back--the pain of his father's death was too much for him. Mamie is still in Boone County but had to be in court today.
Jesco kept asking Keith if he had a guitar with him. He didn't sing or dance for them but Keith feels strongly he would have if they had asked. It's a shame he didn't pack the guitar.
Unfortunately, Jesco does not receive any of the profits from the sell of his movies. His trailer burned and the one he is living in now doesn't have running water.
I need to get back to work, but I thought you might enjoy the update. Take care!
Anyone who has not seen this is invited over to my apartment, at any time, to watch it. It is one of the best things in the world. I am going to see if my parents will buy it for me. If not I am going to pony up the $60 for the DVD.
Amazon wants $130 for the DVD! One DVD, with about 1.5 hours of content.
So I saw an advertisement for Dell, and they were advertising for their Dell Pocket DJ. During the commercial, they say "twice the capacity of the leading manufacturer."
I flip open the Dell catalog that came in the mail today, and they actually refer to the Apple iPod by name. The catalog also says that it "holds more than twice as many songs as the iPod mini." However, the Pocket DJ is only 5GB.
And then comes the fine print.
Comparison between Dell's song count at 64Kps WMA encoding based on 4 minute/avg per song and Apple's published claims also based on 4 minute/avg per song, as of 10/7/04
(Also available on Dell's page)
Of course, according to the iPod Spec page:
Capacity based on 4 minutes per song and 128-Kbps AAC encoding.
I think this comes dangerously close to false advertising.
Some immediate impressions from watching the Cornell third-party debate.
1) Michael Peroutka, of the Constitution Party, speaks first. From the little I have heard of the Constitution Party, Mr. Peroutka's introductory comments are about what I expected. He sounds like a minister running for President. Very religious platform.
2) David Cobb, of the Green Party gives his opening next. Mr. Cobb appears much as I have thought of the Green Party - very anti-big business, pro-environment, and appealing to a more "alternative" segment of the population.
3) Walt Brown, of the Socialist Party USA. An entertaining fellow. Rambling, a bit, though. His introduction is mainly a biographical one.
4) Michael Badnarik, of the Libertarian Party. Mr. Badnarik gives a brief introduction to the Libertarian Party, and then goes on to explain why you should vote third-party.
All in all the candidates answer the questions in a much more straight-forward manner than either Bush or Kerry. In part this can be attributed to sometimes a much more simplistic view on the issues. This can also be attributed to their much more radical solutions to problems. While Bush and Kerry argue over fine points of a solution, the third party candidates can offer a much more "simple", more radical solution.
Some other notes:
- I do not know how many times Cobb uses the term "fat cats". And calls the system "sexist, and racist."
- I do not know how many times Brown gets cut off.
- I do not know how many times Brown mentions some famous historical American who he calls a socialist.
- I suppose I should not be too surprised that the Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party agree on so much.
- Cobb actually uses "Listen, ya'll" at least once.
In general, I found Peroutka to be somewhat of a religious radical. Cobb was pretty good, but I do disagree with a lot of his ideas. Brown seemed like a nice enough man, but did not seem very Presidential. He tended to ramble on, and was more caught up in history and anecdotes than in actual answers to issues. Badnarik seemed the most Presidential of the four, and seemed by far the most articulate (although Cobb was pretty close behind).
I would highly recommend everyone watch it.

Why is this not getting more coverage?

This is crazy. They are going to try to shut the city down for the week.
I have heard that the city of Boston has promised that all of their traffic cameras would be operating that week. Of course, they do not mention that half are pointed at roads that will be closed.
So they want everyone to take public transportation (never-minding the fact that the T stop nearest the convention will be closed). Of course, now they are going to start searching bags on the T. Should I produce my identification, as well?
I really get the impression that the city of Boston would rather us just all stay at home that week. Or, even better, if we would all head out to our summer house on the Cape.
The city wants the convention because of the money it will bring into the economy, but it never mentions the loss in productivity because of the fiasco that will be moving around that week.
Although if I can rent out our apartment for the week for several thousand dollars...
College students are discouraged from voting by local election boards
I never had a problem in Ithaca when I was at Cornell, although our local poll was off-campus, and we ended up driving there. I had a girlfriend with a car, though, so it worked out.
I can definitely see things like what the article describes as happening, though.
Wow, if there was ever a chance to say "I told you so."
I am disgusted by the images of prisoner abuse in Iraq. I am disgusted by the video of the beheading of Nicholas Berg. These two things are obviously related to each other.
Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda came about from the U.S. involvement in the Middle East during Operation Desert Storm. By invading Iraq, we really got a lot of people pissed off at the U.S.
Ten years or so later, we decide to do the same thing. I am not going to argue if invading Iraq regardless of the consequences is a good idea. There are definite good arguments to be made in both directions.
However, I feel like the current administration did not even put any thought into the possible consequences of invading Iraq again. Invading and controlling Iraq as a way of preventing terrorism is about like amputating a hand because it has a cut on it and you want to stop the bleeding.
Invading Iraq, and mismanaging the control of the country, is a really good way of causing MORE people to be upset at the U.S. The Berg video is an excellent example of that.
Some things that really disturb me:
1) When the ICRC expressed concerns with the handling of prisoners in Iraq back in November, what did the U.S. military do? They decided to restrict ICRC access to the prison.
2) Rumsfeld's take on these pictures showing abuse? He wants to crack down on cameras in the prisons. Those pesky cameras...
What bothers me more than anything is that this claim of "I did not know what was going on" seems to be an acceptable excuse in the case of the prisoner abuse scandal.
I am sorry, but if you are *in charge* of a prison, and abuses are going on at this prison, you should either a) get in trouble for knowing and allowing it to happen, or b) get in trouble for not knowing what was going on in a place you are in charge of.
I am a somewhat bigger conspiracy nut than a lot of people, and I am not sure Rumsfeld knew about the "coercion" techniques, but these abuses seem bigger than a handful of guards.
I just dislike that this policy of "claim ignorance, and promise it will not happen again". It never should have happened in the first place! Where were the commanders then?
The administration seems to be saying "These are problems, and they will be fixed." I am saying "These are the reasons we were telling you not to go into Iraq i the first place!"
Damn, I want to see this movie.
I want to see it right now.
"Kill Bill, Vol. 1" was one of the few movies that I thought "Wow, I really want to see this movie again", *while I was watching the movie the first time*!
The second looks to be even better.
April 16th. is not coming soon enough.
Or, for that matter, April 13th., when the first one is released on DVD.
This coming week is going to be a Kill Bill week.
My email:
Is there anyway you can turn off these virus alerts? NetSky and most other viruses I am being informed about are known to forge the From: header. If MailArmor can figure out that the virus is NetSky.B.1, then it should be smart enough to say "Well, no sense in telling the apparent recipient and sender, since both addresses were just randomly pulled from the address book or web cache of someone infected."
I woke up this morning to almost a dozen of these alerts. I have a Macintosh. I highly doubt I have been infected with the NetSky virus.
The response:
The answer to your question is easy, but the explaination is long. Basically, we do not want to turn off the virus notifications. However, with the new browsers, you can designate them as junk and have them automatically deleted - on your machine. Would that work?
So they have valid reasons for wanting to keep the notifications, but are perfectly fine with me completely ignoring them? Sounds useful.
If I can completely ignore the notifications, *then why am I being notified?*
1) No caffiene.
2) No carbonation.
3) No hot drinks.
4) No chocolate before noon/for breakfast.
5) No leftovers.
5a) The microwave is not your friend.
6) No red meat.
7) No lactose.
8) No alcohol.
9) No smoking (not exactly in line with the subject, but oh well...)
It is much harder to find a job than to keep one.

Exercising while pregnant will increase baby's brain development
Hi all
Did you hear on the news this week that a study has found exercising during pregnancy will increase baby's brain development? The research leader was Professor Dave Ellemberg, from the University of Montreal in Canada who stated:
"Our results show that the babies born from the mothers who were physically active have a more mature cerebral activation, suggesting that their brains developed more rapidly."
So there you go - another good reason for regular exercise during pregnancy. You can read more here: Exercising while pregnant will increase baby's brain development, study finds

10. Arthur Brown OLB KSU 6'1" 231
http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings...013&genpos=OLB2012 LOTT IMPACT TROPHY FINALIST: Kansas State senior linebacker Arthur Brown is one of four finalists for the 2012 Lott IMPACT Trophy, the organization announced Thursday. Brown is K-State�s first finalist for the award, which recognizes college football�s Defensive Player of the Year who best exemplifies Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity. Brown was joined on the finalist list by linebackers Jarvis Jones (Georgia), Manti Te�o (Notre Dame) and Chase Thomas (Stanford).
In his second season for the Wildcats, Brown leads the team with 80 tackles, including six for loss and one sack. The Wichita, Kan., product also has two interceptions and five passes defended. His first pick of the season came at No. 15 West Virginia when he snapped Geno Smith�s then-NCAA record of 273-straight attempts without an interception. A week later against 14th-ranked Texas Tech, Brown intercepted a pass and returned it 37 yards for his first career touchdown. A former transfer from the University of Miami, Brown has averaged 7.5 tackles per game in 24 contests at K-State, including at least five tackles in 10 of 11 games this season. He notched a career best 13 stops against North Texas, while he had 11 at Baylor and 10 in K-State�s win at No. 5 Oklahoma. - Kansas State football

Slow Startup Formation Raises Job Creation Questions
When it comes to U.S. labor markets, small businesses are viewed as the mice that roar. But that growl is growing more muted, and could limit future hiring.
Two recent reports show small business hiring weakened at the end of 2012.
Tuesday's small business report from the National Federation of Independent Business indicated a near-zero employment change last month among its members. That followed last week's ADP jobs report that showed small firms added only 25,000 jobs in December, with the smallest companies (fewer than 20 employees) cutting jobs.
The popular wisdom is the small businesses are the main generator of jobs in the U.S. But that is looking less true, not because small firms on average have cut back their hiring, but because the U.S. is seeing fewer new startups, which almost by definition are small firms.
Mark Zandi is chief economist at Moody's Analytics, which compiles the ADP data. He pointed to that trend last week, and the idea is supported by the Census Bureau's Business Dynamics Statistics division.
The BDS data show a steady decline in startups since the 1980s, a downtrend that accelerated during the Great Recession.(The data end in 2010, but the long-run decline, coupled with the recovery's weakness, suggests the trend didn't reverse much in the last two years.)
As a result, the share of job creation and total employment among young firms (those 5 years old or less) has also eroded. In the 1980s, young firms generated more than 40% of new jobs, but they accounted for only about 30% in recent years, according to the BDS report. The share drop is almost entirely due to the falling rate of startups. (The average number of workers per young firm has remained about six employees.)
What's behind the long-run decline in startups and young firms? The BDS report can't answer that question, but suggestions posed elsewhere include credit constraint, government regulation, immigration restrictions and even access to health insurance as deterrents.
The lack of entrepreneurs, however, has probably contributed to weak growth and poses the risk of the U.S. falling behind when it comes to innovation. Unless the nation can revive the risk-taking spirit, a certain vibrancy will be missing from overall growth and the labor markets.

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Got Blurr yesterday. He is awesome. I like this mold much for on Blurr than on Drift. It's kinda interesting, though, that the packaging mentions the blasters becoming a stand for his sniper rifle, but the instructions don't. (It's pretty easy to figure out, though I'm not sure which direction Hasbro had in mind for the blasters to point.)
There was no Dirge there, but, at the same Target today, I found him. Haven't opened him up yet, though.
That's my jacket!
Since finding Blurr and Dirge in early October, I haven't seen them since.
Plenty of Darkmounts on the pegs though.
TFW2005 showed images of the new Kup figure (Deluxe?)
Crap. I might go retro - at least for G1's "Next Generation."
I'll need to get a Deluxe Hot Rod, that cool modernized Blurr, and then eventually Kup.
Ultra Magnus would need to be Leader Class, as would Cyclonus and Galvatron. I think there was a Scourge that was Voyager.
Then I'd like a Leader Class Springer triple-changer. They also made a good modernized Arcee I think. Else it was a custom I saw through TFW - or even a Japanese-only release toy by Takara-Tomy.
To flesh out the Decepticons, I suppose I'd get extra Deluxe and Voyager movie Constructicons, and Deluxe Soundwave and Legends Ravage again.
Double-crap. You see what happens? I don't need this stuff! :angry:
It all starts because I like that Kup figure. Oh - and Masterpiece Rodimus Prime (even though I really disliked the character and could imagine him being voiced by Keanau Reeves).
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Ultra Magnus was released in a two pack a few years ago with Skywarp as a white recolor of Classics Voyager Optimus Prime. A Third Party vendor created a trailer that turned into armor that turned it into a really stellar figure.
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
I've always wanted to get my hands on that third party Magnus figure but the price is overwhelming.
Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-
My TRU had Masterpiece Grimlock today. I thought about it and how I like everything scaled and just couldn't pull the trigger.
MP Grimlock would require:
Scout Class Hot Rod, Kup, Blurr, Arcee, probably.
Voyager Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge, Rodimus, etc would all work.
The Constructicons would mostly have to be Deluxe figures.
What I realized is that I just wanted to buy toys. But I left well enough alone.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Tycho, with only a few exceptions, the Classics/Universe/Generations line has been absolutely amazing. As for Arcee, I'd recommend the Animated version, though she was pretty tough to find everywhere but the IE.
I think Hot Rod is being re-released with Cyclonus soon.
And I opened Dirge. Aside from a serious paint chip on his chest (which was not visible in the package), he's as awesome as I expect a Seeker to be. I need Thundercracker and Sunstorm and that purple dude and my collection will be complete. (Did the purple dude ever get a name? Rainstorm, maybe, since that trio seems to have a fetish for names with "Storm" in them.)
That's my jacket!
For "Springer", Fansproject made a "Warbot" that pretty much IS Springer, 3rd party again but it's damn nice. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/p...13&mode=retail
Triple-Changer and everything.

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|The loop in the knotless leaders you bought are for looping them to a short (6"-1') , thick (25# or 30# maxima for instance) leader section (called a leader butt) you nail knot to the end of the fly line. You attach your fly to the un-looped end with the clinch or whatever knot you prefer.
|Trout Slayer
New here and have a question
Hey all im completely new to fly fishing and I really want to learn how to master the sport as it looks so much fun and exciting. First of all i bought some leaders which are called "knotless" and they have a loop at the end. I am wondering if with this loop you would just tie the fly line in a clinch knot through this loop or how do I do this? Thanks

MIHA Methods
MIHA is an annual, statewide-representative survey of women with a recent live birth in California. MIHA participants are English- or Spanish-speaking women aged 15 years and older who have had a live birth. From 1999 through 2009, approximately 3,500 women participated each year. Beginning in 2010 the number of MIHA participants increased to nearly 7,000, which allows data to be available for the 20 counties with the largest number of births. Starting in 2013, the sampling plan was expanded to include the top 35 counties with the largest number of births. MIHA data are weighted to represent all eligible women in California with a live birth during each survey year. MIHA has maintained a response rate of approximately 70%. Data are collected by mail with telephone follow up to non-respondents. The questionnaire covers a wide range of maternal and infant experiences, and maternal attitudes and behaviors before, during and shortly after pregnancy.
The MIHA questionnaire and methods are similar to those used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in conducting the multi-state Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS). Some Local Health Jurisdictions in California also conduct similar surveys, such as the Los Angeles Mommy and Baby Survey and the Shasta County Mother Infant Health Survey.

I offer gentle support and comfort for my clients at a pace that they can tolerate. My clients have expressed to me that my ability to listen empathetically has allowed them the time to process the devastation and loss they've witnessed. People who've experienced death or divorce may feel angry, depressed, empty, and/or alone. I take time with them to respect these feelings, and do not prescribe ways they "should" be feeling. Grief is different for all, some experience it as a sudden event while others witness gradual decline of a loved one, both can still feel numb or raw. Perspective clients can call or email me to begin a dialogue; we determine then if proceeding is right for you.

My approach to grief and loss therapy begins with understanding each client's unique experience of loss. I help clients accept their loss and experience its sadness.

Losing someone or something you love or care deeply about is very painful. You may experience all kinds of difficult emotions and it may feel like the pain and sadness your experiencing will never let up. These are normal reactions to a significant loss. Often, the overwhelming feelings of depression and sadness requires the care of professional counselors. Grief is a normal and expected reaction to loss. People do not just get over grief, they reconcile and adjust to their loss. Time does not heal, but how time is spent working through the loss does. Actively participating through the grieving process will help reduce the intensity and frequency of the pain. Grief counseling will also redu

Using the most advanced fabrics in their design, the ASSOS fuguSpeer_s7 Socks have been developed to handle the rigors of the foot enclosed into a cycling shoe. The committed cyclist requires a cycling sock that fits well under the stiff cycling shoe and a sock that can manage sweat without compromising the warmth needed during the cooler winter months. The fuguSpeer is made with the ASSOS RXQ fabric which is a stretchy fleece that conforms to the shape of your foot while absorbing and evaporating sweat. These cycling socks are also warm. You'll get maximum protection when you slip on these socks and then add a cycling bootie on top of your cycling shoe for those colder winter days. (In stock product has turquois blue where white portion is on photo.)

I have posted a few times but not introduced myself. Last week I picked up my new BLF puppy out of this litter I found on this site. The Breeders were very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. http://www.retrievertraining.net/for...sonably-Priced I was first pick of 3 black females and spent an hour doing so. I took the wife and 3 boys to help decide on the pup. We had mixed opinions but ultimately I listened to subtle hints the breeders dropped and made my pick.
This will be my 3rd lab hunting partner. I will admit my first dog I had no idea what I was doing. I was tickled to death to have him return with a duck even if I had to throw a rock near the dead bird to have him head out there....
My 2nd dog(avatar) I was fortunate to find a field trialer to work with. I trained the dog every day with absolute intentions of hunt tests/trials. I covered all the bases CC, FF, etc... She turned out great, then life happened and trials/tests never happened. She was a great hunting partner that retrieved every bird, never fail.
For this pup I have high aspirations. I am fortunate to live in an area with many clubs/trials/tests within a 2 hour drive. I am hoping at least one of my 3 young sons will take an interest in this hobby and be glad to help throw bumpers. Although I am willing to make it a requirement for their allowance... I allready realize the challenges of training a pup with a 9,7,5 year old in the house. But they are adhering to my rules for the most part.
When I trained my 2nd pup Mike Lardy was the only show in town. This time, I have gotten a hold of the new TRT, Smartworks, Farmer/Aycock, Voight, and all the HIllman Videos. I plan to go 100% Hillman on this pup.
My Gun Dog Supply order came in today and my new TT Flyway is on charge. The 24 various bumpers I also bought are neatly stacked in the box. Yes I have the bug again and can't wait till she is ready for her first derby or JH test.
I look forward to meeting some Maryland hunt testers and trialers. I would like to join a training group in my area if one is available.

Alcoholic neuropathy is damage to the nerves that results from excessive drinking of alcohol.
Neuropathy - alcoholic; Alcoholic polyneuropathy
The exact cause of alcoholic neuropathy is unknown. It likely includes both a direct poisoning of the nerve by the alcohol and the effect of poor nutrition associated with alcoholism. Up to half of long-term heavy alcohol users develop this condition.
In severe cases, nerves that regulate internal body functions (autonomic nerves) may be involved.
Risks of alcoholic neuropathy include:
Additional symptoms that may occur with this disease:
Changes in muscle strength or sensation usually occur on both sides of the body and are more common in the legs than in the arms. Symptoms usually develop gradually and become worse over time.
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask about your symptoms. An eye exam may show eye problems.
Alcoholism often makes your body unable to use or store certain vitamins and minerals. Blood tests will be ordered to check for a deficiency (lack of):
Additional tests may be ordered to rule out other possible causes of neuropathy. Tests may include:
Once the alcohol problem has been addressed, treatment goals include:
It is important to supplement the diet with vitamins, including thiamine and folic acid.
Physical therapy and orthopedic appliances (such as splints) may be needed to make sure muscle function and limb position are maintained.
Medicines may be needed to treat pain or uncomfortable sensations. Because persons with alcoholic neuropathy have alcohol dependence problems, they are advised to take the least amount of medicine needed to reduce symptoms to help prevent drug dependence and other side effects of chronic use.
Positioning or the use of a bed frame that keeps the covers off the legs may reduce pain for some people.
Light-headedness or dizziness when standing up (orthostatic hypotension) may require several different treatments before finding one that successfully reduces symptoms. Treatments that may help include:
Bladder problems may be treated with:
Impotence, diarrhea, constipation, or other symptoms are treated when necessary. These symptoms often respond poorly to treatment in people with alcoholic neuropathy.
It is important to protect body parts with reduced sensation from injury. This may include:
Alcohol must be stopped to prevent the damage from getting worse. Treatment for alcoholism may include counseling or social support such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), or taking medicines.
Damage to nerves from alcoholic neuropathy is usually permanent. It is likely to get worse if the person continues to use alcohol or if nutritional problems are not corrected. Alcoholic neuropathy is usually not life-threatening, but it can severely affect quality of life.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of alcoholic neuropathy.
The only way to prevent alcoholic neuropathy is not to drink alcohol.

I can obtain copies of Chicago death certificates, 1878-1947, at the local Family History Center on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Turnaround time is usually 0-3 days, depending on when you submit your request.
I print the records from microfilm and scan the paper copies at 300 dpi to create a digital image. Then I rotate and crop the jpgs. (I'm happy to adjust the brightness/contrast, but I don't do that unless you ask me to so that you can be sure no information was accidentally lost in the process.)
Please note:
—Extracted information (no images) for Illinois, Deaths and Stillbirths, 1916-1947 (http://bit.ly/Y8Zfm7) is available at FamilySearch. I can get the corresponding images for Chicago records. Provider mollykennedy can get the corresponding images for any entry in the index.
—Chicago death certificates after 1947 are only available from the county or state. You can purchase many of them from www.cookcountygenealogy.com
—If I'm not able to find the record you need (it's rare, but it happens), I will let you know how and what I searched and there will be no charge.

- I first created a legend for the map. I determined which surnames I wanted to map and chose a color for each one. Under each surname, I listed the addresses chronologically. I used a city directory street guide to determine which cross-streets an address was between.
- Working from the legend, I marked each address on the map with a dot. For this job, I thought it would be pretty easy to use a period from large heavy font (I chose Bauhaus 93) at the 72-point size. I changed the color of the font as needed to match the dots to the surnames on my legend. (If I had put each color, i.e. each surname, on a separate layer, I could later drop out unnecessary dots if I want to feature, say, only the Hauer addresses, by making a layer temporarily invisible. I forgot to do it that way, though, so all my dots are on the same layer, darn it.)
- I saved the map as a Paint Shop Pro file, thus maintaining the ability to make adjustments to the map later if I so desire. I also saved a separate copy as a JPG file. Below is a detail from the map, along with a quick-&-dirty screen shot of the legend. It's a work in progress!
Meanwhile, here's the map I used. It's a fairly large file (7.1MB) and measures 6563 x 5033 pixels. I looked into getting it printed and it would be in the $50-60 price range for a size about 3' x 4'. The printer wasn't sure it would print clearly, nor was he sure the street names would be large enough to read. However, I tried printing a section blown up to about the right size and found that the street names were legible, albeit tiny. My original idea was to tack the enlarged map to a bulletin board and mark all my significant places with little flags, but I couldn't bear the thought of poking holes in a $60 map, so I told the printer I'd reconsider printing after I've marked my significant places right on the map. (I do hope his estimate was for a color print!)
To download the map for your own use, right-click and select View Image, then right-click again and choose Save Image As and navigate to the folder where you want to save it. (No, my ancestors' homes are not marked on this copy!)

- Description
The Niel Diamond Tribute act always draws one of the largest crowds of the summer concert series that is put on annualy by the City of Manhattan Beach, CA..
Made up of 110 images this scene took approximatly 15-20 minutes to shoot.
Nikon Coolpix P5100.
It is always difficult to get good crowd shots since people are often moving around especially in the 'Mosh Pit', look for the headless and disembodied scattered around in the image. Is there anyone you know?

Kristen Stewart, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Watson hang out
Actresses Kristen Stewart, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Watson put aside persistent rumors of a Hollywood catfight to enjoy a girls' night out together.
RELATED: 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2' Black Carpet Premiere
The leading ladies of successful franchises "Twilight," "The Hunger Games" and "Harry Potter" swapped stories as they hung out, and for Stewart it was a great opportunity to get to know Lawrence, whose career is often compared to her own.
RELATED: Ashley Green: 'Twilight' Has Ruined Me
Stewart tells MTV News, "She's so cool. I was a lot younger than her when I first sort of entered this world of franchise land, and I don't know, I guess we sort of both went, 'Wow, this is so weird.' We were actually sat in a corner with Emma Watson as well, the three of us. We were like, 'Wow, this is strange. This is really cool.'"
RELATED: Jennifer Lawrence's Fashion Evolution
"I think people assume that actresses don't want to [be friends]. It was kind of a great feeling, to be honest. I was like, 'This is kind of just awesome.'"

I'm a sponge when it comes to..life in general. I feel that every opportunity is an opportunity to take. If a friend is asking me to come and watch a movie of which I've never ever heard of before I usually grasp the moment and go. I don't question the fact that the movie really isn't the type of genre I normally watch – I just want to experience new things. Same goes with a band, concert, weekend vacation or anything else. Of course if there's money involved I have to think for a split second before I promise to "throw my money away". Then again, usually it's not money down the drain because the experiences and new inspiration I get from experiencing totally "out of my world" activities are such a kick!
CSI – Episode 220 "Cats in The Cradle"
Sanders: "I'm like a sponge, I just absorb information."
Grissom: "i thought that was MY line"
Sanders: "Yeah, and I absorbed it."
[link to the videoclip]
I've recently chatted with a friend who I completely trust to always have good advice when I have worries or questions that I'm going over in my head. There's always this new band or tv show that this friend can recommend to me right then and there, which just hits the spot dead on – it's like we have the same sense of humour but also the same "deep" dark moods and the perfect medicine for such moods.
I feel very lucky to have friends who are almost all nothing like me. We are all so different, going to different schools, working on different fields, listening to different kinds of music. They make my life so rich because I'm not just stuck to that one mold but exposed to all areas of the world. I may have some thing in common with someone and another thing in common with someone else. I guess all I want to say is… friends are a bliss. And mine are more than what I could have ever wished for ♥.
So here's a list of my recently absorbed things (some are totally me, and some I'm surprised to actually LIKE because they're sooo different from what I usually spend my time on):
- ♥ Adele (amazing singer, amazing music!)
- ♥ The Reign of Kindo (jazz, blues, rock band for those mellow days)
- ♥ Kim Hyun Joong "Break Down" (love the dancing!)
- ♥ QI (a hilarious and intelligent british comedy show)
- ♥ The Pretty Reckless (this 16-year old's angst is something I can sometimes relate to)
Have you found something "new" lately? Perhaps a song, person, clothing brand, style… that you thought you'd never ever like/listen to/wear but to your surprise – you do now.

Dog of the Day
Cat of the Day
Pet of the Day
My sister has a pittie or amstaff type pup. He's a goofball and doesn't know his own strangth yet, but not the least bit scary. He's 7 or 8 months now and neutered and raised as an indoor pet with lots of socialization so he's being raised the right way. I do however cross the street or avoid coming into contact with ALL UNKNOWN DOGS of any breed unless I speak to the owner and ask if their dog is ok meeting another before we get close enough for them to have contact. Autumn has gotten attacked by a beagle before. Any dog you don't know, of any breed, can potentially attack your dogs.

Brennan is an American Pit Bull Terrier. He had a really rough start in life, but he doesn't let it bring him down. He loves every person he meets. He has some behavioral issues and is slightly dog selective, but any dog can have those. He is one of the best dogs we've ever had and he is an angel in public.
I am glad folks here do not buy into the bad stereotypes certain breeds have in the media! Our lives are all much richer for it!
I've Been Frosted
In my personal experiences working in a clinic, we RARELY have to muzzle pits that come in for fear of aggression issues. The few we do muzzle is usually for procedures they may find uncomfortable or painful (in which case we'd muzzle ANY dog for it, not just pits).
We have to muzzle FAR more small breed dogs, German shepherds, have to muzzle *every* rhodesian ridgeback that comes in... but rarely any pits due to aggression.
I think BSL is a load of crap. If they want a legislation that will work, they need to focus on the owners, not the breed.
♥ facebook ♥
I agree with all the positive comments about Pities...
I've Fostered them, and have had only very pleasant experiences.
You raise them like any other Dog, and they'll act just like any other Dog.

My friends son has a female pit bull he got from the local pound. She is very timid.
My friend takes her along with her in her car to different places & once even on a fund raiser walk.
Her son is very careful with his dog because where he lives there are little children living upstairs in the house apartment.
He takes her to work with him & she sits in his truck on nice days, he is a carpenter by trade.
I would consider him to be a very responsible dog owner not throwing caution to the wind.
The frost is on the pumpkin & I've been BOO'D by two pet talk ghosts.
Thank you Fritz & Cassiesmom
The only real warning people need about bully breeds, and the reason I avoid getting one, is hip dysplasia and other joint problems. My sister's dog is only about 8 months and overweight and he has what looks to me like luxating patella in a back knee. I'm working on her now to try and convince her to keep his weight down and see a specialist if she can. I may just go ahead and buy him some joint supplements myself if she's too cheap to do it. Maybe I can convince her to get pet insurance. He's probably going to need it sooner than later.

The Most Reliable Windows Notebook is… a MacBook Pro?
Brandon Hill
April 24, 2013 1:05 PM

New study shows that Apple's 13" MacBook Pro running Boot Camp is the most reliable Windows notebook
Apple vs. Microsoft, OS X vs. Windows -- these are comparisons that pit fanboys from each side against each other with little middle ground. The two sides have bickered for years with Windows fans bragging about lower prices and larger market share, while OS X backers cite high quality, reliable machines and the lack of significant malware penetration.
Today, however, an Israeli PC management firm has added a slight twist in the age-old Mac vs. PC debate. Between January 1st, 2013 and April 1st, 2013, Soluto monitored 150,000 notebook computers running Windows and analyzed the data from:
224,144 crashes
250,791 hangs
84,251 BSoDs
1,346,000 boot cycles
62,476 hours spent on boot
After analyzing the above data and giving each machine a "Soluto Score", the results of the study were quite surprising. The results showed that the most reliable "PC" was the
13" MacBook Pro
(mid-2012 model)
running Boot Camp
Soluto attributes this victory to the fact that a MacBook Pro running a copy of Windows via Boot Camp is free of the typical bloatware that comes with a brand new Windows machine. To this point, Soluto opines, "PC makers should look at this data and aspire to ship PCs that perform just as well as a cleanly installed MacBook Pro."
To those that say that a clean install of Windows on a MacBook Pro isn't a fair comparison, Soluto offers this consolation, "One could argue that we should not compare a cleanly installed MacBook Pro with an OEM-imaged PC from Acer or Dell… But – for this first report we simply compared the real PCs in the field, some with original images and some reinstalled by their users. We believe it's more representative of reality."
Rounding out the top five entries were the Acer Aspire E1-571, Dell XPS 13, Dell Vostro 3560, and the Acer Aspire V3-771. The 15" Retina MacBook Pro, three more Dells, and a single Lenovo entry fleshed out the top 10. Notebooks from ASUS, Samsung, Toshiba, and Samsung were nowhere to be found on the list.
Ed Bott reckons that the reason for the strong showings by Acer and Dell in the study is the companies' relatively bloat-free installs, with very few third-party utilities to muck with users' computers. On the other hand, Samsung, which didn't make the list, is notorious for filling machines with needless third-party software junk.
"So if you want to save the planet, feel free to drive your Hummer. Just avoid the drive thru line at McDonalds." -- Michael Asher

text: This is my fourth Arena Battle diorama, and it is probably my best Arena Battle yet. I have recenlt acquired more Battle Droids, more clonetroopers, and an Arena playset, and they really do wonders for a diorama. This will also be the last Arena Battle I make. Also, you will have to forgive the Clone Pilots not actually being in the Gunship, I just though they looked better in the field where you can really see them, not just their heads. It was such a pain to make with everything falling over, so I hope you enjoy it. Here's the first shot:

Version 0.32 of Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
was released on May 18th with new features to allow setup
of the printed page. Features such as page orientation,
paper type, headers and footers. These had been the most
requested features for a long time but I had managed to get
bogged down in the implementation of Excel's formulas and
functions. The formula module burned me out a little and it
took a long time to add the relatively simpler page set-up
options. In order to get it finished I had to stop reading
and PerlMonks and I
had to stop playing Golf.
I also had to stop reading module related email at the beginning of my working night when a stray problem might divert me from coding. This meant that my end of the night email responses were pithier but it did increase my productivity.
I also released Acme::Inline::PERL at Brian Ingerson's request.
Inline::PERL: Bring the power of PERL programming to your Perl programs. ;-)

Two weeks holidays in Italy from tomorrow. Non vedo l'ora.
