Soulja Boy: "I Don't Wanna be Super-Lupe-Fiasco-Lyrical"
Soulja Boy may have made a conscious decision to step up his lyrical game on his upcoming album The DeAndre Way, but that doesn't mean he plans on confusing his fans.
In XXL's November 2010 issue, on stands now, SB tells us he has grown as an MC. "I can't keep playin' around, because if you keep playin' around, people are gonna think you're a joke," he said in the piece, written by contributor Matt Barone. "At some point, you have to get serious."
But don't get it twisted, Soulja doesn't wanna be the next Lupe Fiasco. "I don't want to be super-Lupe-Fiasco-lyrical and niggas don't know what the fuck I'm talking about," he added.
"I want to be the best," he continued. "I want to be recognized in that category where I'm nominated for Best Rapper with Jay-Z and Kanye and Wayne. I wanna get a Grammy. I want Best Rap Album of the Year… I've made millions of dollars off of doing my style, but, hey, I can rap, too."
The DeAndre Way hits stores on November 30. XXL's November 2010 issue with Soulja Boy and 50 Cent on the cover is on newstands nationwide now. —XXL Staff

Re: system of nonlinear ODE
It is not clear from your question whether the problem is
mathematically correct. As others have pointed out on this news
group your problem is certainly not consistent with Mathematica
notation. Nevertheless it appears that you are trying to solve the
similarity solution for natural convection, where f(x) is realted to the
stream function and z(x) is the temperature of the fluid, while x is
the similarity variable.The parameter Fr would then be the Prandtl
number. In the code below I illustrate how one can solve the free
convection problem for the classical boundary layer flow near a
vertical wall that is heated. Further details and an example solution
can be found at
Here is the code:
Pr_] := {f'''[x] + 3 f[x] f''[x] - 2 f'[x]^2 + z[x] ==
0, z''[x] + 3Pr\f[x] z'[x] == 0,
z[0] == 1, z'[0] == G1, f'[0] == 0,
f[0] == 0, f''[0] == G2}
myODESol[G1_, G2_, Pr_] := NDSolve[ODE[G1, G2, Pr], {f, z}, {x, 0,
fend[G1_, G2_, Pr_] := ({f'[20], z[20]} /. myODESol[G1, G2, Pr])
BC[Pr_] :=
Flatten[FindRoot[First[fend[G1, G2, Pr]] == 0, {G1, -.7, -.3}, {G2, .5,
MaxIterations -> 100, DampingFactor -> 1]]
myPlot[Pr_] :=
Plot[Evaluate[{f[x], f'[x], z[x]} /.
myODESol[G1 /. BC[Pr], G2 /. BC[Pr], Pr]], {x, 0, 20},
PlotStyle -> {RGBColor[0, 0, 1], RGBColor[0, 1, 0], RGBColor[1,
0, 0]}, PlotRange -> All];

Director Madhur Bhandarkar used to be very creative when thinking of what he now refers to as 'serious cinema'. He produced many interesting and touching films, but at the moment, he run out of good ideas or, as he stated, he got bored of it. Currently, he is working on a romantic comedy. Entitled "Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji", referred to simpler as DTBHJ, the new production of Madhur is very talked about, as fans are very eager to see if the change was truly inspired.
Cinemax was the host of the first promo launched for the film. This happened in Mumbai, on Sunday. Present at the event were the actresses Shraddha Das and Shazahn Padamsee.
In short, the film presents the lives of three men. A divorcee searching for a new relationship is played by Ajay Devgan. Omi Vaidya is portraying a single man, and Emraan Hashmi is playing the third man, a single guy who wants sex, money, and all are searching for love.
Madhur Bhandarkar has worked hard for this movie and hopes he will cause laughter from all viewers.

Study Abroad Japan: A student's perspective
I signed up for the Green River Study Abroad Japan Program because of my love for Japan, the fascination of their culture, the beauty I saw in their language, and pure curiosity I had toward what life was really like there.
For as long as I can remember, since just a small girl, I've always been inspired and intrigued by anything Japanese and it's been my dream to visit the beautiful country someday. I never thought that day would come so soon!
I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when I signed up for the program. I started the experience with an open mind, ready to soak up new knowledge and experiences. When the day came for orientation attendance, the excitement that I'd been unable to contain the months prior escalated. I felt little flutters of anticipation in my stomach as the teachers explained the classes we would take and how our program was going to work.
There were nerves too, but they were overpowered by the thrilling thought of studying in Japan. Seeing all of the other students sitting in the room with me made me realize that this adventure was really going to happen - it wasn't just a dream anymore! At the time, they were just my fellow classmates; I had no idea how much of a bond would grow between us over the next few months.
After orientation, time passed exceptionally fast. Before I knew it, we were all on the plane headed toward Japan. The entire flight I couldn't quite grasp that what was happening was actually real. However, as soon as I felt the plane descending over Narita Airport it all set in - we were in Japan.
I couldn't contain my excitement as my classmates and I pushed our faces toward the window, gazing out at the foreign, yet somehow familiar, terrain. Even though our feet were now on Japanese soil, I still had a hard time believing this wasn't a dream. I had heard of how kind, helpful and polite the Japanese were, but that still didn't prepare me for how surprisingly calm and easy the process of navigating the airport and going through customs was. It was so strange how hospitable everyone and every place was. Over time it became normal, just another part of everyday life.
In the beginning, being greeted with a wave and a smile from a stranger on the street to school would catch me by surprise, but by the second month I was returning the gesture and found pleasure in greeting the crosswalk guards every morning.
Nobody warned me about the humidity and climate, either. My breath was stolen not only from the fascinating culture but also by how thick the air seemed compared to that of Seattle. I had anticipated the fall weather I knew from home as we were visiting September through November; it didn't occur to me that their fall might be a little different (warmer) than ours. There were many days late in October that felt much more like our summer days!
One big thing I thought was going to be an issue while I was in Japan was the language barrier. I had studied three quarters of Japanese in the States, but still didn't have enough knowledge to hold much of a conversation. However, through my weeks of Japanese life I realized how easy it was to get around without having that knowledge. Sure, knowing Japanese was going to make things less troublesome, but I learned that even some of my classmates who didn't know any Japanese got around just fine. A lot of the people in Japan are intent on helping you and most know some basic English. They're very excited to practice it, too. Not only that, but there was a fair amount of signage that had English as well.
During our stay we had Japanese students (called campus mates) who were assigned to us to share the culture and show us around. I couldn't have asked for a better program as I've made so many new, lifelong friends through this. I was nervous at first, but everyone was so kind and welcoming.
My campus mates took me out many times into the city for sightseeing and fun dinner experiences. One of them even took me to a cosplay event as I had expressed my passion for the activity. I was hoping to practice my Japanese through this process, but the Japanese students were set on using us to practice their English! I was assigned four campus mates, each one of them wonderful people. But the Green River students and I socialized and befriended each other's campus mates as well, expanding our circle of friends. It was great to be given this opportunity to meet some of the students at Kogakuin University (where we stayed and studied). Everyone has made such strong bonds. I still stay in close contact with my campus mate friends; three of them have even come out to Seattle to visit us!
While in Japan, I took photography and creative writing classes. I believe that studying photography and creative writing in a foreign country only enhanced my stay and pushed me to dive deeper into the culture to discover things that I wouldn't have discovered on my own. Both classes really opened my mind to the little things I might have otherwise missed in the culture and surroundings.
In both our photography and creative writing classes, we were strongly encouraged to take inspiration from our surroundings and experiences. A lot of the creative writing exercises involved us really tuning in to our surroundings to write a piece based on our sights, sounds, smells, experiences, and things we've learned.
For photography we were given specific assignments that were to be taken on our weekly field trips to popular cities and locations in Japan. For example, we were to take photos based on our perception of consumption during our field trip to Meiji Shrine and Harajuku.
We traveled to Japan with two Green River instructors: Patrick Navin and Avis Adams. The relationship I had with my teachers was great. I feel as if both Avis and Patrick were perfect for this program. They both provided so much help to all of us while keeping us on track with our classes.
I felt like our whole group was a big family, to be honest. Patrick and Avis kept us occupied with our school work, kept us together, and while our field trips were packed full of activities that had us on our toes, we still had the time and the ability to do our own thing and explore. The relationship between my classmates and our teachers held an air of professionalism in class but we all had a deeper, friendlier relationship as well.
As for our two Japanese professors, they were both friendly and easygoing. One of our Sensei was much more "by the book" and would only speak Japanese with us, yet was still a little laid back and very kind. Our other Sensei had my classmates and me always looking forward to class with his upbeat personality and easygoing and fun learning exercises. We even got to sing traditional Japanese music in class.
I was heartbroken to leave Japan when our 10 weeks were up. I'm sure my classmates will agree that I was a mess of tears as I said goodbye to everyone and the beautiful country that I had called my home for the 10 weeks of my stay. I missed my family, of course, but Japan had been so perfect for me. I didn't want to have to part with the culture, my new lifestyle, and the people who lived there. But I miss the people the most. I've been blessed with so many new friendships that I cherish. I also really miss the polite and organized culture of Japan - it's so different from America!
I had been warned about the "reverse culture shock" I'd receive upon returning to America. I never believed it would happen, especially since I hadn't experienced any culture shock going to Japan. Boy, was I wrong! While I am taking winter quarter off from school, I view even little things like going to the grocery store differently. First of all, the transportation is different. In Japan we were on foot most of the time, if not standing on the train or bus. I had become so accustomed to walking everywhere that just driving the car to Fred Meyer made me fidgety. I wanted to be on my feet. Shopping for groceries was a totally different experience as I realized my smiles to fellow shoppers and little nods of hello would not be returned. Strange to be back in the groove of things, but it really is so interesting to experience just how different our cultures are.
I love the respect that everyone has for each other in Japan. The importance that everyone places on each other's well-being is just so mind-blowing and inspiring.
Some of my favorite things about my studies in Japan also included our weekly field trips out into the heart of Tokyo. We went many places: Harajuku, Shibuya, Mt. Takao, Tsukiji Fish Market, and so many more.
Not only were we exposed to these grand, culture-rich places, but while we were there, we were on "missions." There was always an assignment to fulfill while out on the go and it was a great way to keep my eyes open to every opportunity to learn and absorb something new.
My other favorite thing about my studies in Japan was the campus mate program. I learned so much through my campus mates and they really helped me experience Japan to the fullest!
My experience abroad in Japan has truly opened my eyes to how big (and beautiful) the world is; it's given me a new view on both Japanese and American culture and the differences in between. I appreciate different aspects of both countries that I hadn't really considered or known about before embarking on this journey.
I've gained a new sense of independence and confidence from having to navigate in a foreign world and socializing through a language barrier. It also has created in me an even stronger desire to further educate myself on Japanese culture. Now I'm even looking at attending a college in Japan!
Every fall quarter, Green River students have the opportunity to study abroad in Japan at Kogakuin University. Through this 10-week program, students earn 15 Green River transfer credits in Digital Photography, Creative Writing and Japanese Culture. Find more information here.

Scallops in White Wine
Serve with your favorite wild-rice blend.
- Servings: 4
Photography: Lisa Hubbard
Source: Martha Stewart Living, December 2001
- 2 dozen sea scallops (about 1 1/2 pounds), muscles removed
- 12 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 large red onion, cut in half, and cut into 1/4-inch half moons
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Fold four 18-inch lengths of parchment paper in half crosswise; cut each into a half-heart shape, and open. Place 6 scallops near the crease of each piece. Top each with a quarter of the tomatoes and onion. Drizzle 2 tablespoons wine over each pile. Dot each with 1 tablespoon butter. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
Fold the other half of the parchment over the ingredients. Make small overlapping folds to seal the edges, starting at the top of the heart. Two inches from the end, twist the parchment twice, gently but firmly, to seal. Repeat with the other pieces of parchment, making four packets.
Place the packets on a large rimmed baking sheet or in a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron), and bake 20 minutes or until fully puffed. Remove from the oven, and open the packets carefully. Transfer the scallops and vegetables to plates, and spoon some cooking liquid from the packet over them.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
We also place our "New Leash on Life" (NLOL) trained dogs outside of our local area, still requiring doggie "meet and greets" and home visits be made.
In 2012, PAWS began a "New Leash on Life" (NLOL) dog rescue/training program, partnering with the Pamlico Correctional Institution in Bayboro, North Carolina.
The NLOL program takes rescued shelter dogs and pairs them with carefully selected inmate trainers for the betterment of both. Dogs become socialized, well-mannered canine good citizens, and inmates develop a sense of teamwork, responsibility, pride and accomplishment.
Every eight weeks these canine companions graduate and go home with their new adoptive families, and a new group of doggie students enter the program. You, too, can give a fur-ever home to one of these deserving dogs. Start today!
The fee includes testing for parasites, vaccinating against distemper, parvo, rabies and bordetella; de-worming, heartworm/flea/tick prevention medications, and altering.
Adoption can begin with a call or email to PAWS. After discussing your needs with a PAWS volunteer, complete and return the forms found on our website, pamlicopaws.net
Applications are collected, "meet and greets" are arranged, and if it's a good match, home visits scheduled. If you live out of the area, we partner with other rescue groups willing to visit you at home.
If selected to adopt the dog who captures your heart, you can attend your dog's graduation ceremony at the prison and take home a wonderful, well-trained and loving, lifelong companion.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

In 1842 a new pattern block was delivered to a decorator in Belgrave Square, London. Intricately carved by hand on pear wood, the design was called Sweet Pea. According to the order books of the time it was considered so special that it was labeled a 'private paper' destined for the most important clients.
Now this and other floral designs from the Coles' archive have been adapted with the aid of the latest 21st century printing technology.

Creston grateful following tornado
Considering a tornado ripped through perhaps the most vulnerable part of town, Creston citizens after a week of cleanup remained thankful that no lives were lost. Hundreds of volunteers converged on Creston, population 7,556, after an EF2 tornado weaved through the northwest corner of town April 14. They had disposed of most of the debris by Tuesday. The hospital sustained significant roof and water damage, and an army of workers was present Friday, cleaning and repairing. Still, spokeswoman LouAnn Snodgrass said, the hospital was fortunate because nobody was injured. (Omaha World-Herald)
Legislative output won't be high this session
The 84th Iowa General Assembly is on track to produce one of the lowest bill totals in recent memory. So far this year, the split-control Legislature has approved 115 enrolled bills and joint resolutions. But that number will grow once the House and Senate finalize work on roughly a dozen fiscal 2013 budget bills and reach expected agreements on property tax reform, mental health redesign, education reform and a short list of other priorities. Last year, lawmakers worked a 172-day, overtime session that produced 138 enrolled bills and joint resolutions.
UIHC nurses named among Iowa's best
Stopping a painful ulcer, preventing a stroke, and preparing a patient for surgery are just a few things that nurses Donna Dolezal and Sandra Roberts have done for more than two decades. The pair, who have grown accustomed to rising before dawn, said their drive comes from the desire to give good patient care. (University of Iowa Daily Iowan)

Illinois Medicaid cuts worry health care providers
Illinois health care providers are concerned with Gov. Pat Quinn's proposed Medicaid cuts. The Illinois Hospital Association said Quinn is proposing an eight percent across the board cut. Advocate Healthcare Vice President of Government Relations Meghan Clune Woltman said the state is already behind on Medicaid payments and cuts will only make matters worse. "The reason why we're so concerned about an across the board percentage cut is that we're already 44th in the nation as far as per beneficiary Medicaid spending," Clune Woltman said. (WJBC)
OIG: Medicare, Medicaid anti-fraud program is ineffective
The anti-fraud Medicare-Medicaid Data Match program, known as the Medi-Medi program, "produced limited results and few fraud referrals," the Office of Inspector General said in a report released this week. The 10 states that volunteered to participate in the program received $60 million in appropriations but avoided and recouped only $57.8 million during 2007 and 2008, the OIG found in its review of data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, program safeguard contractors, state Medicaid program integrity agencies and other federal and state agencies. (Fierce Healthcare)
Social Security, Medicare strained by slow economic recovery, aging workforce
Medicare is in worse shape than Social Security because of rising health care costs. But both programs are on a path to become insolvent in the coming decades, unless Congress acts, according to the trustees. Last year, the trustees projected the Medicare hospital insurance fund for seniors would run out of money in 2024. Social Security's retirement fund was projected to run dry in 2038, while the disability fund was projected to be drained by 2018. (Associated Press/Washington Post)
When a lifetime of health care cost just $1,700
Dialogue With Life, a documentary from the late fifties or early sixties sponsored by the Medical Society of the State of New York, looks at advances in medical technology and the corresponding rise in health insurance in the mid-20th century. This excerpt, courtesy of the Prelinger Archive, looks back at medicine 1931—a time when hardly anyone had health insurance and diseases like pneumonia were deadly. The narrator gives an overview of how much healthcare cost at the time, and the numbers are fascinating. (The Atlantic)

Tips for makeup for seniors, women who want to keep looking their best even in the golden years. Some people believe that elderly women no longer need to wear makeup because they no longer need to look good.
This belief is totally wrong because age should never limit women from making themselves look and feel good.
Makeup for seniors is totally acceptable and even encouraged, because it helps aged women feel youthful and full of life, just like how they felt decades ago.
Makeup for elderly women in their 70s and 80s will definitely look different from the makeup styles of much younger ladies, but the effect is all the same: the makeup should help boost the morale and confidence of a person while keeping her appearance attractive in other people's eyes.
Here are three easy makeup tips for women in their 70s and 80s. These are easy to do and are subtle to look at but still effective in giving you the right kind of attention.
Read these tips for seniors makeup and you will surely enjoy using makeup just like before.
Eyeshadow is something that women should never give up on using, even if they have reached their golden years. The only difference with using eyeshadow when you have aged is the restrictions in eyeshadow color and the way you apply the color above your eyes.
Choose subtle colors that complement the color of your eyes or outfit. However, anything bright such as yellow, electric blue and hot pink will no longer work.
Shades such as lilac, baby blue, and deep rose will look well on fair skin even if you are already mature in age. We love the Blue Moon Eyeshadow below.
Since the skin above the eyes may be a bit loose, using an eyeshadow applicator may not be best in smoothening out the color.
Use the fingertip of your pinky instead to make the eyeshadow blend effectively on your skin.
The lips of aged women sometimes lose their natural pink color and will have a tendency to look drooping, pale, and dry. Thus, an important tip for applying makeup for elderly women is to add some touch of rose on your lips.
Do not go for bold colors such as red and bright pink. Instead, opt for colors that look natural and will give you a soft-glow.
Good shades are soft rose, red-orange earth tones, and subtle pink colors that do not look too shocking
You may be a bit older and in your golden years, but that is not enough of an excuse to let lines and wrinkles ruin your look. Feel free to use concealers to address these fine lines and wrinkles.
Being at age 70 or above does not mean that you no longer have the right to look young. People will admire you if you look like you are in your 40s or 50s then surprisingly learn that you are way older than that.
Makeup for seniors does not require the hands of an expert makeup artist. You can look good in old age by simply sticking to natural colors and using your common sense.
If you want to feel good and look good, do not hesitate to use some makeup for elderly women. Your relatives will love it and you will surely feel younger and vibrant, just like before.

Any help and or status of when a driver will be available will be great.
just a few topics down i guess you missed my exact same thread..
Anyway, I haven't found a fix. You cant compile the drivers under the new kernel. It will work in the bt4 beta but not the prefinal Why? I have no idea. I'm not much of a linux pro. I've been searching for a week and I haven't been able to figure it out, also asked for help too. I'm returning the card.
I think the problem lies in
WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-source-184.108.40.206/Module.symvers
is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.
Just bought today the wusb54gc v3...after spending hours to find a way to make this baby work...I give up...and what is even worse is that i bought it from an e shop...do you think they will exchange it with another usb dongle?or just wait and see if linksys will come up with a linux driver?
ok called the e shop and explained what happened....i will return the wusb54gc and get a wn321g...should be here by saturday...I will post my findings and let you guys know if it actually works out of the box as its been said....
aren't those ralink 802.11n drivers already am included in the repository?
I wouldn't recommend netgear either, they mix different chipsets under one model number which renders the ineffective-ness of their lame model numbering scheme.
so you are suggesting not to go with the tp link buy?i ve read in the forum that is it works out of the box
Apart from that, I have little to no experience with TP-Link's versioning scheme. Vendors who fail to make their model and/or version visible on the cardboard packaging that you usually get when you buy it from the shop tend to be the ones that I find are dodgy and/or lazy.
Model + version is very important because not all vendors will re-sell chipsets from manufacturers whom chooses to support alternative platform like linux, *bsd, macs, etc. Most of them in my opinion target mainly at windows users whom doesn't need to care about which manufacturer is the chipset that's contained inside the device they have bought. They are more concerned about getting it to work.
Unfortunately non-windows users do not benefit from this because its either the vendors and/or manufacturers that choose not to support the non-windows community or to provide them with limited support. There are workarounds such as the use of ndiswrapper/linuxant which should work in a fair amount of cases along with at times manufacturers that also produce their own proprietary driver. These drivers not always have the same functionality as the community built drivers for the manufacturer chipsets, mainly features like rfmon and injection are missing because its either not coded into the driver or because for whatever other reason there are no support on such modes.
By vendors I mean brands like: Netgear, Trendnet, Linksys, D-Link, TP-Link, Ubiquiti, Alfa, Senao, Belkin, Edimax, Hawking, etc. These vendors do not actually manufacture the chipset which is inside the device they made it in but its more of re-packaging and including brand names, tags, etc.
By manufacturers (specifically in wireless case) I mean like: Atheros, Ralink, Intel, Zydas, Intersil, Conexant, Atmel, TI, SiS, Broadcom, etc. These companies actually make the chipset that sits inside the devices of which vendors sells it in. Hardly the manufacturers themselves manufacture both chipset and the card together (Intel for example does that). Even if they do, chances are it will only be a reference board for vendors.
In other words, the brand names you see in the shops does not always carry their own branded chipset inside and this is where it stuffs up many non-windows users.
Brands like, Belkin (I've heard) and Netgear by far are the worst vendors when it comes to their model and revisions. Netgear mixes different manufacturer chipsets into the same model and revision, twice I have seen them doing it. Google for WG511 and WG111.
Then comes to brands like, Linksys, 3com and Trendnet where the versions of that specific device is actually on the device itself not on the packaging box which makes one needing to open the box (thus making it hard to get a refund/exchange in a fair few cases) just to find which version it has.
D-Link I would personally recommend. Apart from wireless cards and dongles, D-Link seems to suck at every other device versioning but with wireless cards and dongles they made it clear which hardware version and firmware version on the packaging box itself. If you check madwifi-project.org - Trac under Compatibility/D-Link section you will see what I mean when it comes to those versioning. This is probably the most ideal scenario where you won't need to open the packaging box or plug and pray.
Back to the point, I bought a pair of TP-Link wired cards. The packaging box shows a picture of two wired cards with different chipset and layout. One was Realtek chipset and the other one was Marvell. It has two different model numbers as well as a checkbox but there's no clear indication of which card has which model number on the box in that instance which made me having to buy it before I can open and check which chipset it has. This is only one off instance but may serve as a precaution
Walmart has in their stores right now a Belkin F5D7050 for $30 that you can definitely inject with.
BUT - MAKE SURE it is ver. 3125.
The range is some what decent but, you'll be able to inject with it and, you can tweak its power settings with the RT73 drivers.

A warm Kaiser role from Christopher Plummer
Knew more about Wilhelm II than the movie reveals
Scott Marks 3:09 p.m., June 23
What's with road kill? You couldn't sneak up on a squirrel in the woods, but you can come barreling at him with your car and hit him. Why is he smart enough to hide in one place and too dumb to get out of his own way in another? I must know.
-- A Driver, La Mesa
Road kill may be the wildlife equivalent of a UFO abduction. The next day Mrs. Squirrel is at her trailer, in muumuu and curlers, telling reporters, "Well, one minute Wardlow's out lookin' fer nuts, and then there's this big suckin' sound, and next minute he's flat and the kids are all screamin'. We din't see a thang."
A sport utility vehicle fits nowhere into the world view of a squirrel. He knows what to do with a tree, a rock, a rabbit, a coyote, with familiar things in his environment, but there's nothing in squirrel land to match the profile or speed of a car. Unlike a human, it doesn't have moveable limbs or a head as part of its outline; nor does it walk, run, hop, or slither like an animal. It doesn't smell like wildlife. So when we walk up on a squirrel, we fit a familiar pattern. A Toyota doesn't. This is a theory of some neurobiologists, but it will be confirmed anecdotally by most birdwatchers. In a car, you can get closer to almost any bird than you can on foot.

mulch against foundation???
I'm starting to get into everything now that this is my first home and my frist spring season. Right now I have grass all over the place and touching my foundation. I personally thought it wasnt good to have grass touching my foundation, but im not an expert. What my plans were was to remove about 1 ft or 2 ft from the foundation and add mulch or something else with some nice flowers and plants etc etc. But then my co worker told me that it isnt good to have mulch touching the foundation because of fires (cigarettes if there is a smoker over) and termites. I dont think this means anything but my water table is high so i wanted to pitch the 1 or 2 ft of space by my foundation away from the house. any ideas? plans? any pictures of nice border foundation setups? Thanks. I love being a home owner!
Budget is not tight now, but close to tight. but if its worth it and nice then i would def do it but slowly i guess, take my time, start on it and finish it in a month worth of time this way it allows me to play more with money.
Against your foundation
- hopefully cement or brick?
There are probably millions of houses out there both with muclh against the cement foundation & grass. You need approx 8" by code between the ground & the wood of the house. I prefer 12"
I prefer mulch & flowers approx 2' out at least from the house
I use very little mulch - barely enough to cover the area
On the East side I let moss grown to cover the ground
In other areas I use phlox as a ground cover

Mobile Technology for the Ebola Epidemic in West Africa
Here is a recap from our event on Mobile Monday May 23rd. Many thanks to Microsoft for hosting us.
Dimagi CEO Jonathan Jackson
Partners in Health, Specialists Ermyas Birru and Aaron White
VitalWave, Senior Technical Advisor, Jonathan Payne
Some key use cases for mHealth are contact tracing over time, training health workers (quickly) in symptom identification, and data sharing across countries in a secure and legal way.
Introduction of a new technology during a healthcare crisis is generally a bad idea. That's why new tech usually arrives as a crisis is trailing off. The reason is that it takes time for the people on the ground to determine what the requirements are (in the ebola epidemic, this was contact tracing). Another reason for lag time is it can take time for funding to come through and then organizations to get set up locally.
In this project there were many technology partners including Tableau and handset vendors. Data ownership was unclear from the beginning. It was collected by UN staff and data quality was their responsibility, but who owns the data after that is sensitive for patient privacy. Even in aggregate it can be sensitive for governments that might want to protect or suppress certain information.
PIH chose to go into the region of Kono because of a strong partner organization. Formerly the region was a civil war hotspot, also a center of diamond mining, not as affected by Ebola as regions around Freetown.
Paper forms were currently used and were a big problem – decay in the climate, lack of digitization, no printers to generate new forms. They started the pilot in June 2015 in 1 chiefdom and expanded to 6 chiefdoms in Sep 2015.
Use of the phones boosted the social standing of the health worker, an unexpected benefit. Phone retention has been predicted as a problem but no phones were stolen or lost, only 1 phone had a scratched screen. Challenges includeded power supplies for phones, very fast training in a couple days, many health workers had no smart phone expeirnece much less data collection, also it was the rainy season in a remote area.
The next step for this project is to take CommCare in Kono to more health workers and expand for other health projects.
Digital literacy was a challenge, many workers were barely literate and paper forms were a challenge, the phone app with images was actually easier for them to use.
Tableau and other BI systems are a good solution for reporting and data analysis, but they only work with a fast data connection, Dimagi is exploring ways to push data down to phones over slow connections to enable reporting on the device.
In any study of technology adoption, people are excited by new phones, so the early data points about adoption are great. You only find out over time if the project is actually working.
Mobile healthcare and the Ebola Response (event on May 23rd)
Join us for a special Mobile Monday event focused on the mobile tech used during the recent West Africa Ebola outbreak. Cell phone technology was heavily used for mass communication, disease tracking, and response coordination.
Tech experts from Boston-based global health organizations Dimagi and Partners in Health will share their experiences developing and deploying mobile tech for Ebola response.
Microsoft New England Research and Development Center
Room: 1st Mann #1
1 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA 02142
A Q&A session will follow the presentation. Light snacks will be provided.
Panelists will touch upon several topics, including:
- The health / technology facts and figures behind the Ebola outbreak
- Sharing stories of how organizations used cell phones on the frontline
- The unique challenges of rapidly designing mobile apps for remote areas
- Discussing how we can better prepare for possible disease outbreaks with mobile technology
About the Panelists:
Dimagi CEO Jonathan Jackson leads Dimagi's efforts in developing mobile applications for 12 organizations working in Ebola response, used by a total of 1,100 people.
Partners in Health GIS and mHealth specialist Ermyas Birru has worked in Kono, Sierra Leone to help assess, design and implement mobile technology for Ebola response and health system strengthening.
This event is co-hosted by Dimagi, Partners in Health, and Mobile Monday.

Mobile Monday Boston Recap- Mobile Local Boston (June 2015)
After a long hiatus and feet and feet of snow, Mobile Monday Boston was finally ready to get back into the tech scene and present Mobile Local Boston, cohosted with Street Fight.
The event was held at Sip Wine Bar & Kitchen, a venue that was the perfect size for a personal chat with Randy Parker and David Hirschman to discuss about local + mobile within on-demand services, the user experience of everyday 'local' apps and the potential backlash of 'too much personal knowledge'.
After a power-hour of networking, attendees gathered around to hear a Q&A session with Randy Parker, CEO of PagePart and Founder of Constant Contact and moderated by David Hirschman, Co-founder and COO of Street Fight.
With the assistance of Twitter and Periscope, the conversation kept whether you were in attendance or not, on the ideas and discussions on the pros and cons of mobile+local, Near Field Communication (NFC) and iBeacons.

PhoneDetective Review.
Out of all of the reverse phone lookup services there are, we at momovan have not found a single one worth writing a review about until now… Meet,
Upon first glimpse you're taken to a simple, no BS page that needs a phone number, what better to enter the number you're trying to search. It then prompts you with simple information about this person, then asking if you'd like to continue to find out more; and we can say it's worth it. While not only being overflown with information, all of it was LEGITIMATE. I started telling everyone that knew about Momovan to hop on this and get what they need.
PhoneDetective is the source we've deemed extremely useful, and will continue to say that until we find a better one.

Tracing An Unknown Caller
Tracking down the identity of an unknown caller is not as hard as you might think. Although you could find out the information you want for free, a lot of your success will depend on luck. It is far easier to get a membership at a private reverse cell phone directory because you are guaranteed to get what you want — owner details, like name, address and wireless service carrier.
People need to lookup phone number details for a variety of reasons. Whether you are concerned about the kids your teenager has been hanging out with, or need to stop a very annoying prank caller, or even need to stop a harassing stalker, conducting a reverse cell phone trace is a very legitimate means of investigating a questionable person — especially if you suspect your significant other may be cheating on you.
But again, in order to find out an unknown person's identity for free, you're going to have to be lucky. The only way you can find his or her private information is if they have willingly put it up on the Internet. That way, you can find it by doing a search with their phone number on the major search engines, like Google, Yahoo and MSN. Otherwise, your only option is to make a small investment with a real cell phone database that allows you to conduct reverse lookups on virtually any phone number.
The reason that you can't find cell phone details online for free is because of the transitory nature of a cell phone number's life span. People are always changing cell numbers, and as a result they are just too difficult to track on a consistent basis (for free). Maintaining an accurate and up-to-date cell phone database is simply too difficult and costs too much money for it to be available online for free. People are also worried about having their phone numbers out in the open for telemarketers to exploit, so the government has made it very difficult for people to uncover cell phone number details.
But don't worry, accurate and current reverse cell phone number lookup directories do exist and are very affordable. The best ones will allow you to purchase a lifetime membership for unlimited searches, or, if you don't feel the need for unlimited access, you can make a smaller investment for just one lookup. They will allow you to do a free preliminary search to see if the information you are seeking is available in their database, at which point you can decide whether or not you want to get it.

Reverse Cell Phone Lookup: Doing it the Easy Way
There are many people who would not like to pick up a phone call from anonymous callers. The good thing for them is that there are a number of websites which offer reverse phone lookup services.
All you can do is type in the phone number and you will receive some details which include the home addresss, name of the owner and any additional phone numbers if they are there.
Reverse phone lookup is the best way to go when looking for the identity of someone without having to call them.
The process is very simple but it comes at a cost. The monthly membership can be as high as $40.This may not be very ideal for someone who would like to figure out who the owner of one number is.
However,those people who receive frequent calls from different unknown numbers may benefit from the service .
Online reverse phone lookup services are very reliable and have registered very high success rates. They have very wide information to offer about certain mysterious callers.
You will notice that regardless of the number which you input, you will get the name of the person and other extensive details.
However,there are those people whose names have been blocked from the system and so there will be no visible results for such numbers which are very few.
The best way you can find the identities of anonymous callers is to use the

Citation: Xu, M., Battacharyya, M.K., Palmer, R.G. 2007. The w4-m allele in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] harbors an active transposable element. Plant and Animal Genome Conference Proceedings. Abstract No. P405. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: In soybean, the W4 locus is one of the loci that control anthocyanin biosynthesis of flowers and hypocotyls. A putative transposable element was suggested to reside within or adjacent to it in the mutable line T322 (w4-m). Levels of delphinidin or its derivates, the main pigments in soybean flowers, were much lower in flowers with reduced pigmentation. Reduced pigment levels are associated with the reduced steady state transcript levels or abnormal transcript sizes of the dihydroflavonol-4-reductase 2 (DFR 2) gene. RFLP analysis conducted with an F2 mapping population of the cross between Minsoy and T369 (w4-p) indicated that DFR2 is located in the W4 locus. The DFR2 gene was cloned from a BAC library. The open reading frame of DFR2 is 3311 bps long. It contains 6 exons and 5 introns. By using different regions of the cDNA of DFR2 as probe in Southern blot analysis, we have shown that there is an insertion in DFR2 intron 2 in the w4-mutable line T322 (w4-m). Transposition of this element caused wild-type revertants at the W4 locus and new mutations in other genes including DFR2 itself. For example, reinsertion of the element to the promoter or coding regions of the gene caused new mutant phenotypes such as dilute purple in T321, pale in T369, and light-pale white.

Ben Youngs believes England's success owes everything to the camaraderie binding the squad together, which is in stark contrast to his previous experiences at international level.
Having defeated Scotland 38-18, England must now beat Ireland in Dublin on Sunday to keep their Six Nations Grand Slam hopes alive. It constitutes a severe test of the squad's burgeoning self-belief that underpinned their impressive victory over New Zealand last December.
Youngs was part of the 2011 Rugby World Cup squad managed by Martin Johnson, which featured a split between the older, established players and the younger members whose enthusiasm for extra training did not please everyone.
It is obvious Stuart Lancaster's regime does not allow factions to be created and Youngs is thriving in this squad.
"Everyone is young and enthusiastic and working towards the same goal which is the 2015 Rugby World Cup," said the Leicester scrum-half. "When you are all working together then it's very powerful and you can settle in quickly because everyone is going in the same direction.
"Every person in this squad is a good guy, very welcoming and patient. The coaches give the players a lot of self- belief and when you combine those two things then it's a really nice environment which gets the best out of everyone. You get confidence from the self-belief of the players and coaches."
It is significant that Ireland are travelling a similar road, following the kind of back-to-basics campaign that head coach Lancaster instigated a year ago.
Lancaster and his Ireland counterpart, Declan Kidney, are working to create a club atmosphere during the Six Nations and moulding together players from rival provinces and teams can be difficult.
Ireland captain Jamie Heaslip has revealed that Kidney's change of emphasis is already having an effect on a team featuring new faces such as wing Simon Zebo alongside established stars like Brian O'Driscoll.
"We talked in the summer about trying to make this like our own club," said Heaslip who led Ireland to a 30-22 win over Wales. "The Irish jersey is a privilege and honour to wear and there is a lot of prestige about it.
"At half-time when I take my jersey off to put a new one on, I don't throw it on the ground. I put it on the hook. It deserves that honour.
"We train as we play. If we don't make mistakes in training, there is less chance of making them in games. There is a lot of emphasis then placed on the guys who aren't starting, which is tough if you are not picked for a match squad.
"You might be a starter for your club but if you aren't starting for Ireland, you just have to take it on the chin and go with it. If the opportunity comes to play, then you take it. That's why we want a club atmosphere in the 30-man squad. We are in it together and we have got to live that."
England's players recognise those sentiments and Tom Wood neatly encapsulated the essence of what binds England together stating: "We are humble and hard-working and we have belief in our plan and structure. We've not got any complicated plays or philosophies. We're a simple team of grafters."
The Northampton flanker is expected to play No8 in Dublin with Ben Morgan still struggling with an ankle injury.

Stow Civil Case Update
Photo Credit: Getty
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A man who was with fellow San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow when he was attacked by two home team fans at Dodger Stadium testified Tuesday that his friend was blindsided by a punch that caused him to fall backward and hit his head on the pavement with a ``sickening'' thud.
``It was a crack,'' Corey Maciel said. ``Fist hitting bone, that's the only way I can describe it.''
Maciel said that he, Stow, Alan ``Jeff'' Bradford and Matthew Lee were confronted while walking through parking lot 2 to get a taxi outside the stadium after the opening-day game between the Dodgers and Giants on March 31, 2011. All were wearing Giants apparel.
Testifying in Los Angeles Superior Court in trial of Stow's negligence lawsuit against former team owner Frank McCourt and Los Angeles Dodgers LLC, Maciel said the attack on Stow occurred about five minutes after an initial confrontation during which Dodgers fan Louie Sanchez shoved Stow, causing him to fall against Maciel.
Maciel said he thought the first incident was an isolated confrontation and that he and the others could safely reach their destination without a second faceoff occurring. He said he saw no security officers or police in the area during either skirmish with Sanchez and his friend, Marvin Norwood.
Maciel said he quickly realized the severity of Stow's injuries -- which resulted in permanent brain damage -- after he saw the back of his friend's head bounce off the pavement during the second engagement.

Weather in La Rochelle
The beautiful town of
The climate in
Rainfall averages at about 700mm a year, falling at anytime. Rainfall levels are highest in late autumn/early winter and lowest in summer.
Summer runs from June till the end of September. In peak months of July and August the average temperature is 20°C, with daily highs in the mid 20s and lows averaging about 16°C. These are blissful temperatures and combined with an average of up to 9 hours of sunshine, conditions are ideal. Remember though that it's also the busiest and most expensive time of year.
June and September see average temperatures of around 17°C or 18°C. Daily highs are often in the low 20s and sometimes higher. Visiting outside of the peak months is a good idea for avoiding crowds.
Rainfall is at it's lowest of the year in summer averaging close to 40mm a month. July is statistically the driest month with just 35mm of rainfall on average. Don't be surprised by the odd shower but more often than not the weather is sunny. Rain is usually brief and later in the season can fall in thunderstorms.
Winters in
December to February sees average highs below 10°C and average lows down to 3°C. January, the coldest month, averages 5°C. It can drop below freezing. Frosts and snow are rare in
Winter sees the most rainfall in the year. From October to //www.holiday-weather.com/la_rochelle/averages/january/ above 80mm of rain can be expected each month. This is not a colossal amount but you should expect regular showers if you visit during this time. Westerly winds from the Atlantic gain strength and can result in violent storms.
It is much less sunny: about 2 to 3 hours per day. However, this is partially due to shorter days and not entirely accounted for by cloudy skies.
Spring and Autumn
The intermediate seasons are both good times to visit, especially late spring and early autumn which can still enjoy good summer-like weather. May and October are both good months that can see daily highs creeping up towards 20°C. Spring and autumn have the added benefit of fewer tourists and cheaper prices than summer.
Spring arguably has the edge over autumn as there is less rainfall and April and May enjoy 7 hours average sunshine per day. October, on the other hand, heralds the start of the rainier period that lasts through winter. Spring months see about 50 to 60mm of rainfall, as opposed to around 80mm in autumn.
