Where to begin...well, when I was a kid I was very outgoing and fearless when it came to trying new things, but that all seemed to change when I entered middle school and started getting teased for my nose. I was called all types of names which I still feel uncomfortable talking about to this day. After continuously being made fun of I tried avoiding attention any way I can. I stopped speaking...

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean has just been officially launched, and it'll start rolling out next month, July 2012. But what does it offer over Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich? Let's take a look at its new features.
Project Butter
Strange name, excellent idea. Project Butter's aim is to make Android run at a solid 60fps, complete with triple buffering and forced vsync. Basically, if it works as intended, Jelly Bean will run as slick as butter on a summer's day in the Seychelles.
Butter also aims to improve touchscreen responsiveness, and how the system tracks your finger. It does this by predicting where your finger will be.
Project Butter is more about feel than features, though, and should hopefully get Android feeling as quick as iOS and Windows Phone.
Chrome has now been made the standard browser for Android 4.1 devices. It's a significant upgrade to the inbuilt browser of both Honeycomb and ICS. Chrome is available for Android devices now if you want a taste.
Google Now
A brand new feature, Google Now is best summed-up as a tool to help you organise what you're doing at any point faster and more effectively. How? It's based around a Siri-like voice recognisation system that's equipped with information from your search history, calendar and location data to provide useful answers in seconds.
It's accessed as a slide-up bar from the home screen (as opposed to the slide-down notifications system) that will provide some info without you even asking anything too - because it knows who you are. Creepy, right?
We can only really imagine using it to ask where the local Pizza Hut is mid-hangover, but if you think Siri is what's really missing from Android, drop us a comment below.
The notifications system of Android has been given an overhaul. You can now select which apps have the right to splurge notifications your way. They'll also be much more useful. Developers can now have a hand in how notifications behave, so you'll be able to - for example - comment on a social networking message right from the notification itself.
Better Camera App
The integrated camera app has been given a tweak, although it relates much more to viewing photos than taking them. You can give the screen a quick swipe to view any photo just taken, and the pinch-to-zoom gesture turns the gallery into a film strip-style quick view for faster photo browsing - and deleting.
Android Beam
Beam has been a part of Android since Ice Cream Sandwich was introduced, but Jelly Bean sees it get some much-needed improvements. Beam is an NFC file sharing interface - which is rapidly becoming useful as more phones start to adopt the tech.
You can now hook-up with another NFC-enabled Android Beam phone much more easily. All it takes is a tap of the phone against the device, according to Google. Once hooked-up, information is now transferred over Bluetooth rather than NFC - because it's a good deal faster.
We'll admit that Beam isn't a feature we've had much cause to use yet - when hardly anyone's phone has NFC, and those that have it rarely know what it is - but we're keen to check it out once more.
Tap-to-pair Speakers
We review a lot of wireless speakers at TrustedReviews. And the most annoying part is getting the things setup. Android 4.1 wants to make it simple, letting you pair with Bluetooth speakers simply by tapping them - just like the NFC-powered Beam features. We'll have to assume Android is able to extrapolate distance from the Bluetooth connection itself, because otherwise quite how this would work has us stumped.
Verdict - the best bit
You really have to try to make Project Butter seem all that exciting - it makes Android a little bit faster. But it's the part that we think most people will appreciate most in the long run. What's your favourite part?

The last 10 years of my life were the best one's I ever had. When I was 6 I met Cheyne she was only about 4 months but I loved her with all my heart. I thought she was a puppy sometimes and tried playing with her but she just cried. Some of the best memories with her was when she walked me and hugged me and kissed me and stuff like that. I guess she loved me a lot too because when I passed away she cried a lot and said that no one could replace me. I still miss her and I hope she still miss's me too. Lisa her mother was great too I miss her a lot too.
I lived to be 16 and Cheyne is still alive and well at the age of 10.
Thank you for reading this story about "Cheyne" and I hope you join me again when my next entry is here!!!

S.Sudan to lobby for Sudan debt, sanctions relief
By Hereward Holland
JUBA (Reuters) - South Sudan said on Wednesday it would help its former civil war foe Sudan lobby for debt relief and the lifting of U.S. sanctions as it bid to end a damaging oil dispute with its northern neighbour.
A row over how much landlocked South Sudan should pay to export its oil via Sudan has prompted Juba to shut down its entire output, putting the country's fledgling economy under severe pressure.
In an apparent effort to curry favour with Sudan and persuade it to agree to a lower transit fee Pagan Amum, South Sudan's chief negotiator, said his country would try to help mobilise international funding to help Sudan plug its budget deficit and contribute $2.6 billion of its own money too.
"The areas where we will join international mobilisation for Sudan (are)...to receive assistance to finance the gap that results in the loss of oil revenue from South Sudan," Amum said after returning from the latest round of oil talks in Addis Ababa.
"The second area is in working for debt relief...the third area is the removal of U.S. sanctions on Sudan, and of course all this will contribute to creating a favourable investment environment where they would be able to seek loans," he said.
Sudan is facing a severe economic crisis after losing two thirds of its oil when the South became independent in July under a 2005 peace deal with Khartoum.
It is struggling with high food inflation and an external debt pile of almost $40 billion. Khartoum had unilaterally seized oil from the south by way of a higher transit fee, prompting Juba to end all exports.
Sudan's government said it welcomed the outcome of the latest round of talks as a step towards reaching "satisfying" results, state news agency SUNA said. Continued...

Go somewhere else,,,, should have done that with
the first bad deal.
This is a discussion on Shoddy treatment at my LGS within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I just came back from a less then satisfactory trip to my LGS, and I feel the need to vent. Anyway, I recently purchased a ...
I just came back from a less then satisfactory trip to my LGS, and I feel the need to vent. Anyway, I recently purchased a marlin 1894c at Midwest Gun Exchange in South Bend, Indiana. After marveling at it and taking it to the range, I discovered that the barrel was misaligned. And by that I mean that once you actually focused on it, it was unavoidable.
I fiddled with the sights and had many others look, and we all agreed it was not right. A back story to this is that at the same local gun store, I bought a Kahr p380 that was a total lemon. I had to send it back to Kahr twice and it spent over 3 months at the factory. I don't blame Midwest Gun Exchange for the Kahr, but it was annoying to learn that in six months I bought 2 lemons at the same place.
Well, the other day I was browsing at this same place, and I noticed that they had a marlin 22lr that had the same crooked barrel! That in particular stuck in my craw. There is no way to know about a guns internals, but something like this should be obvious. I mentioned it to one of the salesmen, and he said something like "oh, the sights must be off. Just needs to be adjusted" A mild insult to the intelligence of an annoying customer, no doubt.
Well, I went back another day, and the same shoddy gun was there. It was at this point that I decided to bring back my Marlin. I know that there's buyer beware and such, but I figured it was worth it to see how my LGS would treat me. I also know that I can send it in to Marlin, but after my kahr experience, and considering that I am going to be changing addresses soon, I didn't want to have to deal with sending in the gun and explaining why they need to ship it to a different address.
Also, I want to state that I wasn't expecting or demanding a full refund, but I was wondering if they would be willing to help me out (I've heard it happen many times on this forum).
So, I go into the store and find a salesperson and tell my story. The first thing he does is suggest that the gun is ok. "looks like the sights need to be adjusted." My first thought is, "really?" I know that I don't look like a gun expert, but it was scary to think that they are treating me based on how easily they think I can be BS'd. After realizing that I'm not buying the "gun is ok" line, he says that I should send it in.
I mention that I am aware that I can send it in, but I was hoping to find out if they could offer me an exchange or credit of some sort. He says that it's like buying a car, and it's yours now. A few minutes later the manager appears. I tell him there is a problem and he rudely cuts me off and asks if I have a reciept. A fair question, except that he was clearly hoping that I didn't, so he could just tell me to shut up and deal with it.
Visibly annoyed that I had my reciept, he then tries to run with the "are you sure there's something wrong?" until its clear I'm not buying. After that, all I really get is a "deal with it" look and a "are we done here" grunt. Again, I had no expectation of getting this resolved. I was just hoping my LGS would try to work with me and treat me with respect. At this point I am rather pissed off at the way I'm being dismissed. I mention that I have spent over 2000.00 in the last 6 months at this store, and that I was not happy that they are selling guns that have VISIBLE and EASILY IDENTIFIABLE problems. I brought up the other shoddy marlins they are trying to sell to unsuspecting customers, and at that point the conversation drifted into incivility, and I left the store.
Maybe I'm overreacting, but it felt like I was trying to return a 1986 Ford Pinto to Crazy Larry's Used Car Paradise. They were all smiles when I bought the thing, but now its different story. Anyway, one thing I do know is that Midwest Gun Exchange in South Bend IN will keep on doing it's thing, and I will be spending my gun dollars elsewhere.

Yep, it definitely sounds like it's time to find a new gun store.
I find it's futile to try and change other peoples attitudes and behavior. Much less aggravating to just move on to a different store and leave them to themselves. I'm sure they couldn't care less if you ever shopped there again or not.
Maybe I'm just getting older, but I'm tired of spending time and energy looking for a response from people who aren't going to give you the desired response. Much easier to kick them to the curb and drive on.

Just playing I agree I'd be for finding a new store. Hopefully you find a good one when you move. Good luck
Reactions vary in the free market, and poor customer service can be a self-correcting problem, unless the government offers an unlimited cash bailout . Hopefully Marlin will take care of you after the move. Since I'm not too big to fail, I stand behind (but not in front of) everything I represent. Best of luck.

That was a poor business move on their part. Losing a good repeat customer is far more costly then what it would have cost to make you happy.
I can understand and sympathize with reluctance to give a refund - they're working on a tiny profit margin, and if they buy the gun back, they've got to get it fixed and then most likely won't be able to sell it as new.
That said though, they should have jumped all over themselves offering to send it back at their expense and get it sorted out.

Several of the staff in my local shops have serious chips on their shoulders. In all fairness, I'm sure they deal with every crackpot, armchair commando, and wackaloon in the area, but I don't give them a reason to be that way with me. Luckily, I have found a very well stocked store with a friendly and knowledgeable staff, so I don't go to the places with snotty staff anymore. Why spend your hard-earned money where it isn't appreciated?

WOW!!!! I to shop at Midwest. Im lucky so far and got good guns and deals from them. But to hear your experiance with them makes me nervous about being a repeat customer. My money is to hard to come by to get that kind of treatment. I do know of a few others that got bum treatment from them. Like others said there are other shops to spend your $$$$ at. Good luck with your gun. And if your close to there try Granger guns in granger just north of south bend. A little hard to find at first but worth the effort.
I wouldn't go back.

The shop I deal with the most backs every gun they sell ( NEW OR USED ) for a full year. Parts and labor. New, with an issue that can't be resolved in house, is sent back for you. For used issues, they have a master smith available. In the event that it can't be repaired ( very rare since they don't deal in any cheap junk ), full credit towards another gun. With this attitude, it's no wonder they're still in business after 36 yrs.
The situation will NEVER BE THE WAY YOU WANT, it WILL BE THE WAY IT IS. You must be FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO ADAPT and just "DEAL WITH IT".

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - State officers made 19 boating under the influence arrests last weekend during a special initiative to promote safety on the water.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency reported Wednesday that one boat operator on Chickamauga Lake was arrested for his second BUI offense in three years.
Officers wrote 180 citations and checked about 2,400 vessels during "Operation Dry Water" last Friday through Sunday.

Mein Auto: '07 black X3
View My Garage
I'm an '07 X3 owner and thoroughly enjoy my car, however, like you, I've been eyeing the X1 for years. I especially wanted the diesel stateside, but alas, that's not going to be the case for now.
I just arrived in Frankfurt this week and have an X1d for the next two weeks. I'll try to post my feelings here when I can. So far I really enjoy the vehicle though I haven't been out on the autobahn yet (this weekend). As far as size goes it is definitely shorter in stature than my existing X3, but I don't find it distasteful at all. It is definitely NOT A3 short in visual appearance. That, my friend I can guarantee. I've been to the Audi dealership many times (salivating a bit at the S5) and always found the A3 cute, but just too short (I am 6'2" and the ingress and egress are too much). The X1, however, is a really nice size to get in and out of. Visually, regarding stature, it fits my ideal perfectly. X5's, while a beauty, look like beasts to me. I guess it's my frequent travels to europe that have me convinced that not every good, capacity holding vehicle, has to be the size of a mini-bus. I really do admire the updated X3, but if the U.S. ever gets the diesel X1 I think I will be buying one pronto. BTW, after 2 days of in city navigating I'm average 31.5mpg with the diesel. Can't wait to see what the autobahn delivers.

I just read on my garrison forum that Chad Suppa, aka Suppa Fett died last weekend. Here's an excerpt from the news release.
Chad Suppa was killed this weekend while doing what he loved most in life. Chad died Sunday after he fell 250 feet into a ravine near the Salt River (Phoenix) base jumping.
At about 2 p.m., 35-year-old Chad Dennis Suppa was attempting to jump from a mountain base near the Stuart Mountain Dam near Stuart Mountain Road and Bush Highway.
Officials said Suppa apparently had problems with his parachute as it was opening which caused him to collide into the rock face wall and fall several hundred feet.
The Maricopa County Sheriff Department's Mountain Rescue Team assisted the man out of the ravine.
He hasn't been active on the board in quite a while, but I figured those who knew him might want to know.

Iran suggests Cairo as venue for next nuclear talks
By Yeganeh Torbati
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran has proposed Cairo as the venue for the next nuclear talks with world powers, its foreign minister said on Wednesday without indicating when the meeting, aimed at defusing a standoff with the West, would happen.
"When I was in Egypt ... it was suggested that the next meeting be held in Cairo," Ali Akbar Salehi was quoted as saying by the Iranian Students' News Agency.
"This issue was welcomed by our dear friends in Egypt and Egypt will consult with the P5+1 (group of countries) for hosting this meeting."
Holding the talks in Egypt could indicate warming ties between Cairo and Tehran, two of the Middle East's most influential countries.
After decades of frozen relations with former President Hosni Mubarak, Iran has courted his successor, the Islamist Mohamed Mursi, although opposing views on the Syrian civil war have prevented a rapid rapprochement.
Salehi visited Cairo for talks with Mursi on January 10.
There was no immediate comment from EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who represents world powers in dealings with Tehran.
The last talks between Iran and the P5+1 - the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany - were held in Moscow in June but failed to resolve the nuclear standoff that has led to crippling sanctions against Tehran which the West fears is seeking atomic weapons capability.

See higher levels in Wipro, says Sudarshan Sukhani of s2analytics.com.
Sukhani told CNBC-TV18, "We have been really recycling, one day Infosys, one day Wipro. It is working out because for the short-term trader you get these 1-1.5 percent gains, even 2 percent on an intraday basis and you get some of it of course you don't get all of it."
He further added, "Now Wipro is on the verge of a breakout. It has already covered all the ground it had lost on the back of news, results. It is now willing to go higher that is a good news. IT by itself is making new highs, so all in all if at all you want to buy something focus on IT."

Los Angeles Lures Electric Vehicle Firm, Backed By Warren Buffett
Los Angeles has lured BYD, a Chinese alternative-energy auto maker, to the city, as Southern California seems to have become a magnet for electric and other alternative automotive firms. According to an announcement Friday by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, BYD--which is backed by Warren Buffet--will establish its North American headquarters in downtown Los Angeles. The move is expected to bring 150 jobs to the city along Figueroa Avenue. The City of Los Angeles said that the firm will open a headquarters at 1800 South Figueroa for its North American operations. BYD sold almost 450,00 vehicles in 2009, and has 130,000 employees employed elsewhere internationally. BYD stands for Build Your Dreams, and is backed by Warren Buffet's MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co., which owns 9.9 percent of the firm. Southern California is fast becoming a hot location for the electric and alternative vehicle industry, with automakers Coda Automotive, Fisker Automotive, Aptera Motors, and V-Vehicle also all in the region, plus Silicon Valley's Tesla Automotive also planning a plant in the Downey area.

Don't Just Cater To La Creme
Now I understand why some of the restaurants with the best food and atmosphere don't make it ("Maitre d'Online," Strategies, May 24).
Equal service for all is how a restaurant can assure repeat customers and referrals. Don't they understand that one unhappy customer will cost them more in lost business than the one happy customer can give them?
Singling out the creme customers is being shortsighted. I depend on repeat and referral business to be successful, and it is free advertising. I have learned you cannot tell which customers will be your best.
Don't take any chances. Treat all your customers as if they are your best.

The President's Budget: v. FY 2011
February 1, 2010
Yesterday, the President unveiled his proposed budget for FY 2011.
It was generally good news in the field of homeless assistance. The Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and then Associated Press all gave nods to the boost in homeless assistance funding.
We're nodding right along with them. The president's budget marks the biggest increase to homeless assistance services in 16 years – and that's nothing to sneeze at! It's a critical move at a time when the economy is still so unstable, especially for those who are already on financially precarious ground.
Highlights include:
- A ten percent ($190 million) bump to McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Grants, the largest portion of the federal investment to homeless assistance
- A 50 percent boost in homeless assistance funding to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This significant increase may prove useful in the Department's professed goal of reducing the number of homeless veterans (currently 131,000) to 59,000 by July 2012, but no detailed plan for the strategic use of this funding boost has been made available.
- An $85 million permanent supportive housing initiative. What's most notable about this plan is not only the federal investment in permanent supportive housing – a proven strategy to end homelessness – but the emphasis on interagency collaboration. It will require that recipients be serviced by the Departments of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Health and Human Service (HHS) and Education (DOE).
- Extension of the Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF) emergency fund. The emergency fund, which was created under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) provides short-term emergency assistance services for families at-risk of homelessness. This emergency fund is being extended for another year.
- Three new initiatives and significant jump in funding for policy development and research at HUD.
We'll be tackling each of these policy priorities in blogposts to come, starting with the ten percent increase in McKinney-Vento homeless assistance programs: the bread and butter for so many direct service providers supplying the day-to-day, on-the-ground assistance so critical for those experiencing homelessness right now.
As we've been talking about on this blog, the Alliance calling on Congress to increase funding for McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance programs to $2.4 billion in FY2011. To find out more about the advocacy effort – and more about the President's budget – visit the website.

Joshua Ho's Research Areas
All projects in this laboratory involve integrative analysis of diverse genome-wide datasets, especially next-generation sequencing (NGS) data such as RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, DNase-seq, and whole genome sequencing data. Multiple projects are available under each theme.
1. Systems developmental biology of mammalian organ formation.
Many organs form via intercellular exchange of signaling molecules and an intracellular network of transcription factors. These interactions can be summarised as a gene regulatory network (GRN). We recently reconstructed a GRN from more than 1,000 pieces of gene perturbation evidence and identified a feedback circuit associated with epithelial-mesenchymal signaling interactions during embryonic development of mouse molar tooth (O'Connell et al., 2012). In silico simulation suggests that the observed reciprocal tissue signaling interactions could be an intrinsic property of the circuit structure. This finding has significantly implication on our understanding of this important class of signaling interactions in organ formation/malformation. We are now extending this approach to study the development of other organs, such as salivary gland, pancreatic islet, ocular lens and heart valve.
2. Decoding the language of life
It is curious that stimulation of the same signalling pathway (e.g., Wnt pathway) can often lead to expression of different genes in different cell types (e.g., embryonic stem cells vs. differentiated intestinal cells). Recent findings based on genome-wide chromatin analysis (e.g., ChIP-chip/ChIP-seq) suggested that both the chromatin environment and DNA sequencing composition play an important role in genomic targeting of transcription factors, opening up the possibility we could learn a 'grammar' to describe and predict cell-type specific signalling response. To test this hypothesis, this project will compile and perform meta-analysis on published genome-wide datasets (ChIP-chip, ChIP-seq, DNase-seq, and RNA-seq from ENCODE/modENCODE consortia for example) as well as in-house data generated by local and international collaborators. We will adapt advanced methods from computational linguistics and machine learning to build biologically meaningful models for signaling-responsive transcription factor binding in mammalian cells.
3. Genome-wide chromatin landscape analysis of fungal epigenomes
Fungi have wide medical, agricultural and biotechnological relevance because of their abilities to cause diseases in humans and plants. Moreover, many fungi have long been used in the biotechnology (e.g., industrial enzyme productions) and food (e.g., wine, cheese, soy sauce fermentations) industries; and some fungi (e.g., mushrooms) are a valuable food source with high nutritional and medicinal values. To better understand fungal potentials and diseases, many representative fungal genomes have already been sequenced, and an on-going joint effort initiative aims to have 1000 fungal genomes sequenced over the next few years. Despite these efforts at the genomic level, information about the epigenomes for most fungal species is still largely uncharted. In collaboration with an international collaborator, we will study genome-wide chromatin landscape of several closely related medically, agriculturally and industrially important species by ChIP-seq. We will identify and systematically analyse the chromatin states in these species using advanced data mining and machine learning techniques and use these information to gain insight into different key physiologies of the species.
4. Causal disease mutation identification in whole genome sequencing data.
Whole genome sequencing is now highly cost-effective. It is possible to identify sequence or structural variants in the genome of an individual within weeks. This has open up enormous possibilities for personalized genomic medicine and the identification of causal genes of both rare and common diseases. Nonetheless, while a large number of sequence or structural variants can be identified in each individual, it is often difficult to pin-point the disease causing genetic mutation. In this project, we will develop a bioinformatic pipeline to integrate diverse functional genomic data to prioritise likely causal mutations that underlie a disease.
5. Bioinformatics software testing
Many bioinformatics programs have large input data (e.g., gigabyte-sized sequence data) and often implement sophisticated computational procedures (e.g., network simulation, string matching, machine learning, and combinatorial optimization). As a result, it is difficult to systematically test the correctness of these programs beyond the use of a few trivial test cases. Most of the faults in the programs are very difficult to detect, but once occur, may lead to incorrect biological conclusion or the design of a misguided follow-up experiment. This project will develop tools to help bioinformaticians to perform systematic software testing. We observed that many practicing bioinformaticians lack proper software testing training, and their programs are often not subjected to sufficient testing. One immediate goal of this project is to develop a software package that will help bioinformatics program developer to design, execute and report test cases. This project will fill an important need in bioinformatics that has not been fully addressed previously.
6. A cloud-based approach for incorporating scalability in genome informatics
The advent of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is transforming the landscape of biomedical research – ranging from disease gene discovery to clinical application of genomic medicine. NGS enables low-cost, high-throughput sequencing for a wide variety of genome-wide scale analysis of the genome, epigenome and the transcriptome. However, with this vast quantity of data, we are faced with unprecedented technical challenges in terms of computational analysis and storage of these data. Our goal of this research project is to investigate the use of cloud based technology to deal with these challenges. In particular, we plan to utilise the unique strengths of cloud technology – adaptive scalability and remote distributed data storage – to overcome the technical challenges. We will develop new bioinformatics pipelines, and apply it to two cutting edge applications: (i) single-cell transcriptomic analysis, and (ii) disease gene discovery using whole genome sequencing data
For postdoc/students/RA who wants to join this laboratory:
All projects require proficiency in at least one programming/scripting language (R, Perl, Python, Java, C++, C Matlab…) Familiarity with the Unix operating system is desirable but not required. Individual project can be tailored to fit each student's personal interest and skill set. Most projects involve close interactions with local and international collaborators. This is a highly interdisciplinary laboratory. We welcome perspective group members from diverse background, such as medicine, biology, physics, computer science, mathematics, statistics, and engineering. Expression of interest, along with your CV, can be sent to Dr Ho: email@example.com

The Transport Minister has attacked the Opposition's railway costings, accusing Labor of significantly underestimating the price of its promises.
Troy Buswell asked Treasury and the Public Transport Authority to cost the Opposition's pledge to build a rail line to the airport.
Labor says it will cost $731 million but Mr Buswell says the true cost would be closer to $1.6 billion.
"You cannot go to the electors of WA and promise to build infrastructure and not fund it properly," he said.
"This is what happens when by their own admission the Labor party add up or develop these figures on the back of an envelope in Ken Travers' office.
"When you get it wrong you can embarrass yourself incredibly.
"The challenge for the Labor Party is to justify their costing and explain how they're going to make up an $860 million dollar shortfall in this railway line."

Developing a Visual Language
At KCAI, we develop artists whose bold and unfettered ideas dictate their materials, rather than creators who are defined by one chosen medium. Experimentation and risk-taking are encouraged, and you'll participate in a high level of critical discourse.
We teach essential traditions, materials and methods. You'll also have the opportunity to work within a wide range of visual media, from academic figuration to performance, video and installation. We don't expect you to produce work within a specific style or genre. Instead, you are free to create your own lineage, adding your voice to a rich continuum.
Ultimately, you'll cultivate a visual language based on your personal style and process – one that is enriched by a wide exploration of ideas, giving more depth and meaning to every stroke.

How secure and private is Facebook? Recently, Facebook implemented it's new privacy settings to all of its 350 million users. Those who log in for the first time since these settings have been added will go through a quick wizard to confirm the privacy settings that you would like to use. However, many are asking "How private is Facebook?" as the default settings for user's accounts set personal information viewable to "Everyone". Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook profile is even viewable to "Everyone", a move some think may be a mistake or an effort to convince other Facebook users to become more public.
The talk of the week: Google Phone. When Google first began the development of their phone's operating system, Android, there were rumors flying around about Google developing their own cellular phone and possibly even a cell phone service. When Google was in the bid for the 700Mhz frequency back in 2007, some even believed that Google might try to use that frequency to offer free cell phone service. However, when the first Android phone was released, the world realized it was just a phone running the Google OS which could be purchased through TMobile. Now almost every provider has an Android phone, except for AT&T. (And it may be a while for AT&T to release a Android phone, with the current TV advertising war between AT&T and Verizon .) No, the interest in Google providing an exclusive "Google Phone" and "Google Phone Service" has somewhat fell off the radar, until now. Google is apparently developing Nexus One, a Google Android phone without a carrier. According to reports, this phone will be available for purchase directly from Google, and will work with your current carrier, in essence, it will be released as an unlocked cell phone.
Those still using Microsoft Windows XP SP2 have just a few months left until Microsoft's public support for Windows XP ends on July 13, 2010.

by Harold McGee
Harold McGee's On Food and Cooking is a kitchen classic. Hailed by Time magazine as "a minor masterpiece" when it first appeared in 1984, On Food and Cooking is the bible to which food lovers and professional chefs worldwide turn for an understanding of where our foods come from, what exactly they're made of, and how cooking transforms them into something new and delicious.
Now, for its twentieth anniversary, Harold McGee has prepared a new, fully revised and updated edition of On Food and Cooking. He has rewritten the text almost completely, expanded it by two-thirds, and commissioned more than 100 new illustrations. As compulsively readable and engaging as ever, the new On Food and Cooking provides countless eye-opening insights into food, its preparation, and its enjoyment.
On Food and Cooking pioneered the translation of technical food science into cook-friendly kitchen science and helped give birth to the inventive culinary movement known as "molecular gastronomy." Though other books have now been written about kitchen science, On Food and Cooking remains unmatched in the accuracy, clarity, and thoroughness of its explanations, and the intriguing way in which it blends science with the historical evolution of foods and cooking techniques.
Among the major themes addressed throughout this new edition are:
On Food and Cooking is an invaluable and monumental compendium of basic information about ingredients, cooking methods, and the pleasures of eating. It will delight and fascinate anyone who has ever cooked, savored, or wondered about food.
On Food and Cooking
The Science and Lore of the Kitchen

Revised & Updated edition, November 2004

I'm planning on running this Friday for the first time. I've been to the track a couple times as a spectator and just have a few questions.
About the track:
1. I'm guessing that all the tech inspection happens in the horseshoe area.
2. I noticed that there are many staging lanes. Does it matter which lane I go in?
3. I'm guessing that the time slip shack is one of the buildings behind the bleacher area.
About racing:
This is what I know (or at least what I think I know) ...
Wear long pants, good idea to bring a helmet, inflate tires to ~40psi, avoid water puddle, launch ~4500 - 5200 rpm
Is there anything else that I should know for my first time? Any advise would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Washington, DC -- Emergency contraception (EC) should be widely available and easily accessible to all women, according to a Committee Opinion issued today by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (The College). Age restrictions, cost, insurance coverage, and misconceptions about EC are all unnecessary barriers that continue keeping women from using this safe and effective method to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first few days after unprotected sex, sexual assault, or contraceptive failure.
EC use can reduce the risk of pregnancy up to 120 hours (five days) after unprotected intercourse, but is most effective if used in the first 24 hours. Although oral EC is more common, the copper intrauterine device (IUD) is the most effective form of EC. Currently, the progestin-only oral EC methods are available over the counter (OTC) without a prescription to women age 17 and older. However, the antiprogestin oral EC method requires a prescription. The College continues advocating for the US Food and Drug Administration to remove the OTC age restriction because there is no scientific or medical reason for it. Ob-gyns are advised to write advance prescriptions for EC for adolescents under age 17 to prevent delayed access.
Private and public insurers are encouraged to cover all forms of EC and to publicize this coverage to their members. Any physician or pharmacist who objects to prescribing or dispensing EC should offer referrals to women who request the contraceptive.
The College stresses that EC does not cause abortion as evidence shows that it inhibits or delays ovulation. Additionally, women's access to EC is not associated with less contraceptive use, less condom use, or more unprotected sex.
Committee Opinion #542 "Access to Emergency Contraception" is published in the November issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
# # #
Other recommendations issued in this month's Obstetrics & Gynecology:
Committee Opinion #540 "Risk of Venous Thromboembolism Among Users of Drospirenone-Containing Oral Contraceptive Pills" (NEW!)
ABSTRACT: Although the risk of venous thromboembolism is increased among oral contraceptive users compared with nonusers who are not pregnant and not taking hormones, and some data have suggested that use of drospirenone-containing pills has a higher risk of venous thromboembolism, this risk is still very low and is much lower than the risk of venous thromboembolism during pregnancy and the immediate postpartum period. When prescribing any oral contraceptive, clinicians should consider a woman's risk factors for venous thromboembolism and refer to the U.S. Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Patient education materials, including product labeling, should place information regarding oral contraceptive use and venous thromboembolism risks in context by also providing information about overall venous thromboembolism risks and venous thromboembolism risks during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Decisions regarding choice of oral contraceptive should be left to clinicians and their patients, taking into account the possible minimally increased risk of venous thromboembolism, patient preference, and available alternatives
Committee Opinion #541 "Professional Relationships with Industry" (NEW!)
ABSTRACT: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (the College) has a long history of leadership in ensuring that its educational mission is evidence based and unbiased. A predecessor to this Committee Opinion was published in 1985, making the College one of the first professional associations to provide guidance on this issue. The College has continued to update the ethical guidance on physician interactions with industry periodically. Obstetrician–gynecologists' relationships with industry should be structured in a manner that will enhance, rather than detract from, their obligations to their patients. The ideal behaviors set forth in this Committee Opinion will contribute toward maintaining patient trust in the specialty and avoiding conflicts of interest by College members
Practice Bulletin #131 "Screening for Cervical Cancer" (Revised)
ABSTRACT: The incidence of cervical cancer in the United States has decreased more than 50% in the past 30 years because of widespread screening with cervical cytology. In 1975, the rate was 14.8 per 100,000 women. By 2008, it had been reduced to 6.6 per 100,000 women. Mortality from the disease has undergone a similar decrease from 5.55 per 100,000 women in 1975 to 2.38 per 100,000 women in 2008 (1). The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that there will be 12,170 new cases of cervical cancer in the United States in 2012, with 4,220 deaths from the disease (2). Cervical cancer is much more common worldwide, particularly in countries without screening programs, with an estimated 530,000 new cases of the disease and 275,000 resultant deaths each year (3, 4). When cervical cancer screening programs have been introduced into communities, marked reductions in cervical cancer incidence have followed (5, 6). New technologies for cervical cancer screening continue to evolve as do recommendations for managing the results. In addition, there are different risk–benefit considerations for women at different ages, as reflected in age-specific screening recommendations. The ACS, the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP), and the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) have recently updated their joint guidelines for cervical cancer screening (7), and an update to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendations also has been issued (8). The purpose of this document is to provide a review of the best available evidence regarding screening for cervical cancer.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (The College), a 501(c)(3) organization, is the nation's leading group of physicians providing health care for women. As a private, voluntary, nonprofit membership organization of approximately 56,000 members, The College strongly advocates for quality health care for women, maintains the highest standards of clinical practice and continuing education of its members, promotes patient education, and increases awareness among its members and the public of the changing issues facing women's health care. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), a 501(c)(6) organization, is its companion organization. www.acog.org

10 Powerhouse Foods That Fight Cellulite
Learn how to get rid of unsightly lumps by chowing down on these eats.
You know what cellulite looks like—cottage cheese, anyone?—but you may not know what it is exactly. As fat cells accumulate and expand beneath skin, they push against tissue, causing an uneven appearance "commonly found on the hips, thighs, buttocks and back of arms," says osteopathic physician Robert A. Kominiarek, DO. But you don't need to stay inside during swimsuit season or avoid clingy clothing. Adding the right foods and drinks to your diet can reduce cellulite. Munch your way to a smoother-looking body with these nutritious picks.

We were surprised by the absence of any written resources provided to us at the time of the unexpected loss of our son. We are speaking from our experience, as we learned how to deal with his loss. We felt the call to provide these resources to other parents. It is our sincere hope that this resource will provide you help and encouragement at this time of emotional distress and grief.
Caring, compassionate Catholic priests or deacons (and/or your own pastor) educated in death, loss and bereavement are available to you at this time of crisis. These ministries can be called upon to provide guidance, support, and assistance at the physician's office, hospital or even when you return home.
Mission Statement
Believing that every life is precious and deserving of respect, Back In His Arms Again honors life from conception until death.
We are a charitable organization of collaborative resources providing educational resources, care, guidance and financial services for families in need who are experiencing the loss of a child as well as those providing care.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Good deal - will try if he ever succeeds! Thank you, misslesleedavis1!
|well, this is probably the most mundane advice but to cut the chance of it happening in the same spots try vinegar and odor out. i use that on any accident we have here.
|Yeah, I don't really care that much if he marks outside... I'm really just trying to curb that to see if stopping outside marking would help with inside. I mean, we watch him inside constantly but he still tries multiple times a day now - in the house - not cool, Red Dog!
|well, as the previous poster has stated it coiuld be a training, dominance thing, personally i waited with dex too, after we got him fixed the marking did stop, but he did not do it in the home, he took that crap to pet smart and like a million trees.
|Thanks for the responses, misslesleedavis1 and Jax08! I was hoping to wait until Red was at least around 2 to decide about neutering, but I don't want this to transform into a behavioral issue in the meantime. I only correct him outside if he goes to mark after he's already peed when it's clearly just a spurt to mark "his" fence. Other than this, he's been 100% potty trained since we brought him home 6 months ago.
I would not take him outside and correct him out there! You want him to pee out there! I would go treat him like a puppy. This is a behavior, may be hormone based, but still a behavior that is a training issue.
Neutering him may stop him. However, I watched my 6 yr old female who was spayed at 6 months mark every time we go for a walk. So above the hormones, there is also a dominance or territorial component.
|Mine did that, Dexter marked things up until we had him fixed, it was not an overnight transformation but he did eventually stop not too long after.
Just wanted to my post and say that my hubby told me Red tried to mark HIM last night!
I could let DH take over some feedings (I currently do all feedings and formal training) to be more of a provider for Red and less of a playmate, but the marking is still an issue with other items/things in the house and that needs to be dealt with - somehow. Hubby said he's been pointing at things in the house that are at marking height and treating Red when he just sniffs and goes about his business (he's not using the clicker as I'm not 100% sure he'd use it the right way lol).
How do I stop my male from marking on everything??
I rescued a street dog (GSD x Chow?) that I've had for about 6 months or so, Red. According to the vet, he was about a year when I got him, and he is currently unaltered. A few weeks ago, he started peeing on top of our other dog's pee. I didn't think it was an issue, as he peed his normal amount and it was the only time he "marked", so I didn't correct him for it.
I took Red to a private training session about a week and a half ago and we introduced him to some of the agility equipment (an on-the-ground tire and a short tunnel). After a few minutes of introducing the tire, he tinkled a little on one of his pass throughs - he was very sneaky! We cleaned up the tire and continued until he looked like he was moving into position to do it again, we verbally corrected him and moved on to the tunnel. He did fine on the tunnel for awhile then moved into position again, another verbal correction, and back on the leash.
NOW it seems as though he wants to mark everything - he marks the fence in our backyard and I caught him trying to lift his leg on (1) a backpack in the living room and (2) the shower door/towels while DH was in the shower! He was verbally corrected and did not succeed in either attempt as he is always supervised when he's not kenneled, but he did do the "move" (butt scooted over, leg going up). I believe DH also said Red tried it one night with him.
So here comes the question - what do I do? I can take him on leash in the backyard and correct him (verbal corrections don't work as well outside with him yet) and we always supervise him inside, but is there anything else I can do to curb this?
Here's a crappy cell phone pic of the little bugger!

Hey all,
Quick question. I was driving to the bus stop for work today and I noticed the brake light on the idiot cluster came on. I didn't have my AP with me unfortunately. If I did, could I have pulled over and it would have told me the code? Also, I thought my pads still had some life left but could low pads throw the light? I'm going to check for brake fluid when I get home as I know a maybe going around a turn the level set the sensor off. It went off after only a couple minutes but if I can pull the code next time I will (I'm putting the AP back in the car tonight). If anyone has had a similar experience?
