Math is everywhere and yet
we may not recognize it because it doesn't look like the math we did
in school. Math in the world around us sometimes seems invisible. But
math is present in our world all the time – in the workplace, in our
homes, and in life in general.
You Can Do It!
If you feel uncomfortable about math, here are some ideas to think about.
Math is a very important skill, one
which we will all need for the future in our technological world.
It is important for you to encourage your children to think of
themselves as mathematicians who can reason and solve problems.
Math is a subject for all people. Math
is not a subject that men can do better than women. Males and
females have equally strong potential in math.
Positive attitudes about math
are important for our country. The United States is the only
advanced industrial nation where people are quick to admit that
"I am not good in math." We need to change this attitude, because
mathematicians are a key to our future.
The Basics
You may have noticed that we
are talking about "mathematics" – the subject that incorporates
numbers, shapes, patterns, estimation, and measurement, and the
concepts that relate to them. You probably remember studying
"arithmetic" – adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing –
when you were in elementary school. Now, children are starting
right away to learn about the broad ideas associated with math,
including problem solving, communicating mathematically, and
Just by doing everyday things together
such as sorting socks on laundry day, cooking with measuring and
pouring or playing games or singing songs with actions and
directions with rules and taking turns will help your child learn
to count and understand a range of mathematical ideas.
"Mathematical foundations are laid as
playmates create streets and buildings in the sand or make play
houses with empty boxes. Mathematical ideas grow as children count
steps across the room or sort collections of rocks and other
treasures. They learn mathematical concepts through everyday activities:
sorting (putting toys or groceries away), reasoning (comparing and
building with blocks), representing (drawing to record ideas),
recognizing patterns (talking about daily routines, repeating
nursery rhymes, and reading predictable books), following
directions (singing motion songs such as ?Hokey Pokey'), and using
spatial visualization (working puzzles). Using objects, role-playing,
drawing, and counting, children show what they know."
Below are three activities that
provide opportunities for your child to experiment with
measurement, sort and count items by different attributes, and learn
to recognize coins.
FILL IT UP (Activity #1)
Children enjoy exploring measurement
and estimation. Empty containers can provide opportunities to explore
comparisons, measurement, estimation, and geometry.
What You'll Need
• Empty containers in different shapes (yogurt cups, margarine tubs, juice boxes with tops cut off, pie tins)
• Rice, popcorn kernels, or water or sand
• Markers
• Masking tape
• Paper
What to do
1. Have your child choose an
empty container each day and label it for the day by writing the
day on a piece of masking tape and sticking it on the container.
2. Discover which containers hold more than, less than, or the same as the container chosen for that day by:
• filling the day's container with water, uncooked rice, or popcorn kernels; and
• pouring the substance from that container into another one.
Is the container full, not full, or overflowing? Ask your
child, "Does this mean the second container holds more than the
first, less, or the same?"
• filling the day's container with water, uncooked rice, or popcorn kernels; and
• pouring the substance from that container into another one.
Is the container full, not full, or overflowing? Ask your
child, "Does this mean the second container holds more than the
first, less, or the same?"
3. Ask your child questions to encourage comparison, estimation, and thinking about measurement.
4. Put all the containers that
hold more in one spot, those that hold less in another, and those
that hold the same in yet another. Label the areas "more" "less" and
"the same."
5. After the containers have been
sorted, ask, "Do we have more containers that hold more, hold
less, or hold the same? How many containers are in each
NAME THAT COIN (Activity #2)
Children love to look at coins but sometimes cannot identify the coins or determine their value.
What to Do
1. Look at the coins and talk about what color they are, the pictures on them, and what they are worth.
2. Put a penny, nickel, and dime on the floor or table.
3. Tell your child that you are thinking of a coin.
4. Give your child hints to
figure out which coin you are thinking of. For example, "My coin
has a man on one side, a building on the other."
5. Let your child think about what you have sad by looking at the coins.
6. Ask, "Can you make a guess?
7. Add another clue: "My coin is silver."
8. Keep giving clues until your child guesses the coin.
9. Add the quarter to the coins on the table and continue the game.
10. Have your child give you clues for you to guess the coin.
TREASURE HUNT (Activity #3)
Everyone's house has hidden treasures. There is a lot of math you and your child can do with them.
What You'll Need
Bottle caps
Old keys
Or anything else you can count
What To Do
1. Find a container to hold the treasures.
2. Sort and classify the treasures. For example, do you have all the
same sized screws or keys? How are they alike? How are they
3. Organize the treasures by one characteristic and lay them end-to-end. Talk about their characteristics.

your child will offer the opportunity to talk about math, because
math is everywhere. Some books lend themselves more to
in-depth and specific math discussion. Only a fraction of these

Revues de code
Correctifs appliqués
Tom Lane a poussé :
- Install defenses against overflow in BuildTupleHashTable(). The planner can sometimes compute very large values for numGroups, and in cases where we have no alternative to building a hashtable, such a value will get fed directly to BuildTupleHashTable as its nbuckets parameter. There were two ways in which that could go bad. First, BuildTupleHashTable declared the parameter as "int" but most callers were passing "long"s, so on 64-bit machines undetected overflow could occur leading to a bogus negative value. The obvious fix for that is to change the parameter to "long", which is what I've done in HEAD. In the back branches that seems a bit risky, though, since third-party code might be calling this function. So for them, just put in a kluge to treat negative inputs as INT_MAX. Second, hash_create can go nuts with extremely large requested table sizes (notably, my_log2 becomes an infinite loop for inputs larger than LONG_MAX/2). What seems most appropriate to avoid that is to bound the initial table size request to work_mem. This fixes bug #6035 reported by Daniel Schreiber. Although the reported case only occurs back to 8.4 since it involves WITH RECURSIVE, I think it's a good idea to install the defenses in all supported branches. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/299d1716525c659f0e02840e31fbe4dea3cc796c
- Lobotomize typmod check in convert_tuples_by_position, back branches only. convert_tuples_by_position was rejecting attempts to coerce a record field with -1 typmod to the same type with a non-default typmod. This is in fact the "correct" thing to do (since we're just going to do a type relabeling, not invoke any length-conversion cast function); but it results in rejecting valid cases like bug #6020, because the source record's tupdesc is built from Params that don't have typmod assigned. Since that's a regression from previous versions, which accepted this code, we have to do something about it. In HEAD, I've fixed the problem properly by causing the Params to receive the correct typmods; but the potential for incidental behavioral changes seems high enough to make it unattractive to make the same change in released branches. (And it couldn't be fixed that way in 8.4 anyway...) Hence this patch just modifies convert_tuples_by_position to not complain if either the input or the output tupdesc has typmod -1. This is still a shade tighter checking than we did before 9.0, since before that plpgsql failed to consider typmods at all when checking record compatibility. (convert_tuples_by_position is currently used only by plpgsql, so we're not affecting other behavior.) Back-patch to 8.4, since we recently back-ported convert_tuples_by_position into that branch. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/e48433e9f81d6aceef2b538f1783fbcc91e1074f
- Make plpgsql complain about conflicting IN and OUT parameter names. The core CREATE FUNCTION code only enforces that IN parameter names are non-duplicate, and that OUT parameter names are separately non-duplicate. This is because some function languages might not have any confusion between the two. But in plpgsql, such names are all in the same namespace, so we'd better disallow it. Per a recent complaint from Dan S. Not back-patching since this is a small issue and the change could cause unexpected failures if we started to enforce it in a minor release. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/59a4a571d396ec00a7e363dca8b2f5eb2d8307ad
- Avoid uninitialized bits in the result of QTN2QT(). Found with additional valgrind testing. Noah Misch http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/cc24fb418d8da7ed93f9cd936f7da8fc7e0381bf
- Adjust configure's probe for libselinux so it rejects too-old versions. We need at least version 2.0.93, so probe for a function that was added in that version. Kaigai Kohei http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/8ff1f6a78c4fb48337f671f1586839cef5d4b940
- Cleanup for pull-up-isReset patch. Clear isReset before, not after, calling the context-specific alloc method, so as to preserve the option to do a tail call in MemoryContextAlloc (and also so this code isn't assuming that a failed alloc call won't have changed the context's state before failing). Fix missed direct invocation of reset method. Reformat a comment. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/b23aeb6519651146cf35b2b91d24596f37b40794
- Grammar cleanup for src/test/isolation/README. Josh Kupershmidt http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/446d5d32aedcca378578c8fe1c2eed34df92a238
- Suppress extensions in partial dumps. We initially had pg_dump emit CREATE EXTENSION commands unconditionally. However, pg_dump has long been in the habit of not dumping procedural language definitions when a --schema or --table switch is given. It seems appropriate to handle extensions the same way, since like PLs they are SQL objects that are not in any particular schema. Per complaint from Adrian Schreyer. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/7b158d1baed859971c1aa792bff6a7e1f721cf91
- Adjust configure to use "+Olibmerrno" with HP-UX C compiler, if possible. This is reported to be necessary on some versions of that OS. In service of this, cause PGAC_PROG_CC_CFLAGS_OPT to reject switches that result in compiler warnings, since on yet other versions of that OS, the switch does nothing except provoke a warning. Report and patch by Ibrar Ahmed, further tweaking by me. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/44404f394517f89a0bebb1aaace6e64ad79d2817
- Make decompilation of optimized CASE constructs more robust. We had some hacks in ruleutils.c to cope with various odd transformations that the optimizer could do on a CASE foo WHEN "CaseTestExpr = RHS" clause. However, the fundamental impossibility of covering all cases was exposed by Heikki, who pointed out that the "=" operator could get replaced by an inlined SQL function, which could contain nearly anything at all. So give up on the hacks and just print the expression as-is if we fail to recognize it as "CaseTestExpr = RHS". (We must cover that case so that decompiled rules print correctly; but we are not under any obligation to make EXPLAIN output be 100% valid SQL in all cases, and already could not do so in some other cases.) This approach requires that we have some printable representation of the CaseTestExpr node type; I used "CASE_TEST_EXPR". Back-patch to all supported branches, since the problem case fails in all. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/3987e9e62046bd800d8d08566ed49fee1ae6cb86
- Preserve caller's memory context in ProcessCompletedNotifies(). This is necessary to avoid long-term memory leakage, because the main loop in PostgresMain expects to be executing in MessageContext, and hence is a bit sloppy about freeing stuff that is only needed for the duration of processing the current client message. The known case of an actual leak is when encoding conversion has to be done on the incoming command string, but there might be others. Per report from Per-Olov Esgard. Back-patch to 9.0, where the bug was introduced by the LISTEN/NOTIFY rewrite. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/90857b48e1f69dbca52f498bd444190d36dbd73f
- Improve corner cases in pg_ctl's new wait-for-postmaster-startup code. With "-w -t 0", we should report "still starting up", not "ok". If we fall out of the loop without ever being able to call PQping (because we were never able to construct a connection string), report "no response", not "ok". This gets rid of corner cases in which we'd claim the server had started even though it had not. Also, if the postmaster.pid file is not there at any point after we've waited 5 seconds, assume the postmaster has failed and report that, rather than almost-certainly-fruitlessly continuing to wait. The pidfile should appear almost instantly even when there is extensive startup work to do, so 5 seconds is already a very conservative figure. This part is per a gripe from MauMau --- there might be better ways to do it, but nothing simple enough to get done for 9.1. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/0bae3bc9be4a025df089f0a0c2f547fa538a97bc
- Fix null-dereference crash in parse_xml_decl(). parse_xml_decl's header comment says you can pass NULL for any unwanted output parameter, but it failed to honor this contract for the "standalone" flag. The only currently-affected caller is xml_recv, so the net effect is that sending a binary XML value containing a standalone parameter in its xml declaration would crash the backend. Per bug #6044 from Christopher Dillard. In passing, remove useless initializations of parse_xml_decl's output parameters in xml_parse. Back-patch to 8.3, where this code was introduced. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/5e1365a9650678a531106120e40676a9417971f1
Peter Eisentraut a poussé :
- Message style improvements http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/c58b945e23e63a0baca67b216a5225b34de84cce
- Add a "local" replication sample entry. Also adjust alignment a bit to distinguish commented out from comment. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/f50655900a865d65d17bb79f57f1d8c48b1cb266
- Message improvements http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/c8d45152fa04c77370fc16faf0727c0f52739f0a
- Put options in some sensible order. For the --help output and reference pages of pg_dump, pg_dumpall, pg_restore, put the options in some consistent, mostly alphabetical, and consistent order, rather than newest option last or something like that. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/3439e40f9afa5e8702c8e3e7d0b09a0cb4b07e73
- Remove literal tabs from message strings http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/4d7d6386d701ebf36a4de4c2a8c32826a999e437
- Avoid compiler warning when building without zlib. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/1b6dabc452b9357e39b63a94c109e2293f13a555
- Allow pg_basebackup compressed tar output to stdout http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/d68714b29c42d10437b56372d6b0a1dda1e7d7f5
- Correct description of log_connections and log_disconnections. The previous claim when these parameters could be changed was incorrect. Fujii Masao http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/cb0defe5230f3773feb334a01b990c9eaaca301b
- Add pg_basebackup -z option for compression with default level http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/6fa79755bd393cdfadb6197164cbe01498474be3
Robert Haas a poussé :
- Improve hash_array() logic for combining hash values. The new logic is less vulnerable to transpositions. This invalidates the contents of hash indexes built with the old functions; hence, bump catversion. Dean Rasheed http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/7149b128dc12ece64c182962dc4f882ea7559d0c
Heikki Linnakangas a poussé :
- Fix integer overflow in text_format function, reported by Dean Rasheed. In the passing, clarify the comment on why text_format_nv wrapper is needed. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/34be83b7e142a718c7a831c9df9763aa83fe4cd5
- Replace strdup() with pstrdup(), to avoid leaking memory. It's been like this since the seg module was introduced, so backpatch to 8.2 which is the oldest supported version. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/7541d32e86b739afb41e711a4c790aed446dd0e2
- Check the return code of pthread_create(). Otherwise we go into an infinite loop if it fails, which is what what happened on my HP-UX box. (I think the reason it failed on that box is a misconfiguration on my behalf, but that's no reason to hang.) http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/336db7e3474508b46a0e6bdb013a8bee5aac9adf
Bruce Momjian a poussé :
- In pg_upgrade, do case-insensitive checks of locale, encoding, and ctype because these are often inconsistently capitalized. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/11c08c3fd79f1fd5a83f9156fc1c43c7be3453ce
- Add C comment about why we don't spell out "month" in interval values. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/0711a8b2b340ee0b0a7fd7ea2ac0fa6aee4708ae
Andrew Dunstan a poussé :
- Convert builddoc.bat into a perl script that actually works. The old .bat file wasn't working for reasons that are unclear, and which it did not seem worth the trouble to ascertain. The new perl script has been tested and is known to work. Soon it will be tested regularly on the buildfarm. The .bat file is kept as a simple wrapper for the perl script. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/8c3604ae7fa1602e00b639447e894f9d59f9d297
Peter Eisentraut a poussé :
- Drop "meaning" column from error code table. This is currently the same as the condition name, so it doesn't add any value, only clutter. http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/420dcaaeb1a3be51b6417da59ce69d7954369211
Alvaro Herrera a poussé :
- Remove unused variable. Cédric Villemain http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/4c60a77508ee4f4d895629905265d79feaab108c

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
So, in Sept, I will be moving to Philly. I'm really excited about this for a lot of reasons. I'm 30 and there are a million things I've never done, places I've never been, etc. Also as much as I love Tazewell, and it partially made me who I am, the opportunities are really limited here. Job and educational opportunities, of course, but also social ones. I love my family and friends and I feel so…

Many frequencies used today in our current UHF Wireless Systems were given for the use of mobile services (LTE). The operation of conventional UHF wireless systems in these frequency ranges is not, or only partly allowed. This change is referred to in the industry as digital dividend. In Germany for example the digital change-over will be on the 31.12.2015
Fortunately, most systems are currently available in the UHF frequency ranges and multiple systems with our Thomann frequency tool, so you can see in which frequencies the selected products are allowed and whether they may continue to be used freely without extra costs or registration.
Incidentally, modern wireless systems that transmit over the wireless frequencies of WIFI networks are not affected by the digital dividend. Please refer to the notes in our product descriptions.

Motorola has quietly announced via a Facebook page that owners of the Milestone XT720 handset in the UK and Germany will be getting a software update that will increase the CPU speed to 720MHz.
While this may at first appear like a kind, generous and exciting freebie, it seems that the TI OMAP3440 processor was meant to run at that speed all along, but Motorola rather coyly decided to operate at just 550MHz. Was it just being shy up to now about the potential performance of its handset?
Very possibly Motorola felt that the XT720 was being left behind by Snapdragon powered Android handsets running at a beefier 1GHz and felt it needed to do something to lessen the gap.
In addition, the new update adds DLNA functionality - another feature that was on the original spec list, but didn't make it to the launch handset. Better late than never we guess.
Perhaps to distract owners from being too disgruntled about not getting what they should have had in the first place, Motorola has produced a video offering, 5 Tips and Tricks on How to Get the Best From Your XT720, the highlight of which is the frankly bizarre combination of a very English accent and a rock soundtrack. So worth checking out.

Well, abortion's in the hiz-ouse (as the saying goes). This thread will be up to 1500 responses by Friday.
I'm trying to get more mail and I think I've found the way. My next zine will be called The Enthusiastic Christian Abortionist Quarterly.
If I have anything to say about this as the original poster, I would love it if this does not take a turn into an abortion debate. I wish I hadn't even put my very brief comment into the mix.
Not yet, it wasn't. I'm going to throw in this little gem:
Why the fuck do modern Christians think Jesus was a white guy? How does that make sense? The mother fucker was from the middle east.
star blanket river child said:yeah, same. with some issues, no matter how many "I feels" or "for mes" you throw in there, someone's going to take offense. and hey, it's a controversial and touchy issue, I get it. I just wish it hadn't even been brought up, I think this thread was controversial enough :P
hey. I did speak for myself. I said, "I am against abortion for MYSELF, but other women can do what they please."
I think unless you've been raped, you're 12, or the baby is going to die anyway/harm you, then you should handle it in an adult and responsible way which, to me, doesn't just mean getting it sucked out of you.
The fact is that there ARE non-Christians who oppose abortion from a libertarian and/or scientific perspective.
Just because people are considered nutjobs, even by a majority, does not make them wrong!
Samantha Blythe said:Just because people are considered nutjobs, even by a majority, does not make them wrong!
Correct in some cases. But trying to force religious-based views through big government upon everyone makes them not really Libertarians, hence why people think they are idiots. It's like they are Libertarians, except when big government is pushing their moral agenda, which just doesn't pass the logical test and most people would consider it hypocritical.
Argh! Stop having this conversation please. Nobody's views are going to change, it's a waste of time.

Pop superstar Justin Timberlake premiered the music video for Michael Jackson's latest single "Love Never Felt So Good" on Wednesday (May 14). Timberlake and many of the King of Pop's fans pay tribute to Jackson in the lighthearted clip, busting a bunch of his signature dance moves.
"Love Never Felt So Good" is the lead single from Jackson's new album "Xscape." Epic Record's L.A. led the charge on this new Jackson project, sifting through a lot of his old demos and picking ones to be remixed by producers like Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and Stargate. Michael originally penned "Love Never Felt So Good" around the year 1983, which is probably when he recorded the track as well.
According to Billboard, John McClain, co-executor of Jackson's estate, produced the new version of "Love Never Felt So Good" for the "Xscape" album. The breezy disco-pop track appears three times on deluxe edition of "Xscape": the new version with Jackson alone or featuring Justin Timberlake along with the original recording. The duet version of "Love" featuring Timberlake is dreamy with the two superstars laying on the charm thick in their respective verses. "Tell me, if you really love me / It's in and out my life," Jackson sings on song's show-stopping chorus.
In the music video for "Love Never Felt So Good," Timberlake and a massive group of Jackson fans groove to "Love Never Felt So Good." Jackson appears in the clip through images of his iconic past videos like "Billie Jean" and "Smooth Criminal." The fans really get dressed up for the occasion, wearing some of Jackson's signature video outfits and even busting a few of his mind-bending moves. Timberlake is the perfect person for the job to lead a full-on dance tribute to late King of Pop in the "Love Never Felt So Good" video.
Jackson and Timberlake's duet version of "Love Never Felt So Good" debuted at no. 20 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart last week, nabbing both artists another top 20 hit to their names. Jackson's new album "Xscape" was released on May 13 in the U.S. Timberlake is currently on the road for The 20/20 Experience World Tour. The trek will return to L.A.'s Staples Center on August 12.

March 18 commenced the trial for Kermit Gosnell—the Philadelphia abortion clinic doctor found guilty of killing three newborns intended for late-term abortions.
The Daily Beast would later refer to it as "what could plausibly be called 'The Trial of the Century,'" yet, for weeks, no mention could be found among the headlines of most major news outlets. Read More
Podcast / Apr 19, 2013
This week we talk to one of our favorite artists, Michael Gungor. His band, Gungor, has just finished recording their upcoming album, so he talks to us about the process and his take on being labeled a "worship" band. We also talk to columnist Kirsten Powers (USA Today, Fox News, ) about the Kermit Gosnell abortion clinic murder trial. Read More
Current / Slices
In the final days of testimonies from prosecution witnesses in the Kermit Gosnell murder trial, there have been more, extremely disturbing details to come forth. (Warning, some of the descriptions below and images contained in the news articles linked are graphic.) A former medical assistant at the abortion clinic testified that she saw at least 10 babies born after failed abortions who were breathing before Dr. Gosnell killed them. In another case, a baby survived the procedure and was "swimming" in a toilet, attempting to get out. Dr. Gosnell snipped the baby's neck with scissors. At the time, Cross filed a complaint with local authorities, but nothing was done to follow up.
The case has ignited a media firestorm about the politics of covering abortion after a USA Today column by Kirsten Powers exposed the lack of coverage it received from major outlets, and the horrendous details of the allegations … Discuss

This page consists of resized images so that you can evaluate the overall exposure.
Full-sized versions of some of the following images can be downloaded in a new window by clicking on the sample shots as indicated. However be aware that the average file size is around 3MB, so those on very slow connections will experience some delay.
Colour rendition and exposure are good, one of the E30's few good points.
Shooting into the light shows up low dynamic range. The shot lacks shadow detail and has burned-out highlights.
The E30's lens has a wide end equivalent to 36mm, wider than some rivals, but still not very wide at all.
The telephoto end is equivalent to 108mm, about average for a 3x zoom.
I was surprised that your review of the Optio E30 was so negative. I've had one for over a year now, and have been quite pleased with its performance. One feature that no one seems to mention is the possibility of recording sound alone, so that the camera becomes a digital "tape" recorder that's excellent for speech and even not bad for music.
I have the same camera for over 7 years, 7400 pictures or videos taken. And it still goes strong.

Top Song of Summer 2011 (video)
I don't know about you, but I definitely use music to mark periods in my life. The summer I listened to Dashboard Confessional's "The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most" album non-stop will forever live on in summertime-epic-dreaminess/awesomeness (Hey, I was 18, and that's the perfect description for it). The fall when Dixie Chicks' "Not Ready to Make Nice" made an uncountable number of plays on my iPod? Yeah, not so great. So when we look back on the summer of 2011, what will be "the song" that defined it? According to Billboard Magazine, several Channel 957 artists' songs are in the running.
With one week left to go, it's looking LMFAO might take it with "Party Rock Anthem". However, Adele's "Rolling in the Deep", Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night" and "ET", Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory", and OneRepublic's "Good Life" are also in the running. Check out Billboard's 2011 Summer Songs Chart here.
What do you think? Which song is so "Summer 2011″ to you? Watch the Channel 957 artists' vids below for a refresher.
Adele, "Rolling in the Deep"
Katy Perry, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)
Katy Perry, "ET"
Lady Gaga, "The Edge of Glory"

Zac Brown Band - July 3rd
On Thursday July 3rd, 2014 the Zac Brown Band Great American Road Trip tour made its way to Milwaukee for The Grohl Sessions Vol. 1 and let me tell you it was a night to remember!
When we arrived at Summerfest we meet alot of cool people and people we have seen before waiting for the Eat and Greet. We had a miss hap with our entry bands but luckily we met a guy who knew who I was looking for them and got me where I needed to be. We were escorted to where we do all the meet and greets but this time they had a full size semi set up as a kitchen with an awning on it and tables for us to sit. We were able to take pictures till the band came out but there was no photography after that. They came out along with Zac's chef, Chef Rusty who had prepared an awesome dish! It consisted of some kind of special roll,Pork loin in love juice, fried chicken smothered in creamed corn,mashed taters, teriyaki marinaded green beans, Zac's coleslaw, cabbage and mushrooms with bacon. And a blueberry/cherry crisp for desert that was Chef Rusty's first time making which was awesome! Oh Yes, all the Landshark you could drink! {Organic juice for the non drinkers} The band served us our food. Glad to say every band member including Daniel helped with my plate! This food was amazing! We got to mingle with the band and shake hands and what not which was way better than just a quick picture and a see ya later! John Hopkins sat down and grubbed with the other table that was still eating! Their right hand lady T-Bird was awesome! She was happy to see all the fans enjoying themselves. She tried her best to help with my hat but had to be fair which was cool. I got some awesome spices and a cookbook for donating money to Zac's charity camp which I can't wait to try!
We then made our way out to the amphitheater to enjoy the performance. This place was PACKED! We ran into more awesome people out by our seats who in turn won tickets from FM106.1! The whole row N was FM106.1 WINNERS! The Zac Brown Band played all their great songs which everyone was singing along to.Some highlights I thought were their "Devil went Down to Georgia" they played at Summerfest was way faster than at Alpine last year. They played their normal Metallica song "Enter Sandman" which always cranks the crowd. Clay Cook lead 2 songs with one being the start of the best jam sessions ever to "Can't You See"! Everyone got their turn to tear it up! Zac was putting his passionate vocals into every song as always as did Clay when he had the reigns. They had their black light jam for "Day for the Dead". This show showcased their amazing abilities to play their instruments of choice alone and as a band. The visuals were cool and not over the top. They have topped my country correspondence series with this experience and I look forward to seeing who, if any, can top it! Thanks to the Zac Brown Band and FM106.1 for the awesome performance.

From this:
There's a danger the federal court will take over New Orleans elections if legislators don't change a law so more people can absentee vote, Secretary of State Al Ater said Thursday.
A federal takeover would be another black eye on the state in the wake of devastating hurricanes, Ater said.
"I could see the headlines across America right now," Ater said. "They'll say it's another thing that Louisiana can't handle on its own."
Under current law, people who register to vote by mail must vote in person at least once before they can cast an absentee ballot.
Ater wants lawmakers to temporarily lift that in-person voting provision, saying to do otherwise would disenfranchise voters who are dislocated through no fault of their own.
Legislators nixed the idea in the first hurricane-special session amid fears of potential voter fraud. Opponents pointed to the thousands of mail registrants who have never voted...

Clay Shirky To Speak At PSFK CONFERENCE NYC 2012
Shirky teaches at NYU's ITP course which is widely recognized as one of the key drivers of the city's creativity.
On March 30, 2012, we will be hosting our sixth annual PSFK CONFERENCE NYC celebrating and sharing new ideas. Since 2007, the PSFK conference series has catered to creative professionals from around the world, exploring the latest trends, inspirations, and ideas. PSFK brings together the world's leading creative thinkers with both established and emerging business leaders to bring to life the conversations that take place daily on PSFK.com.
Our conferences offer a diverse program of speakers with backgrounds in art, technology, design, marketing, and media, creating an environment where disparate ideas can come together in new ways to fuel work that changes the world for the better. We set an agenda that allows participants to meet and discuss with one another, together sharing and building upon the ideas that emerge onstage.
NYU's ITP program is widely recognized as one of the key drivers of the city's creativity. We write about the work of the alumni regularly on PSFK.com and so we are excited about professor and internet guru Clay Shirky speaking at our event.
Clay Shirky is a writer, consultant and teacher on the social and economic effects of Internet technologies. He has a joint appointment at New York University (NYU) as a Distinguished Writer in Residence at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute and Assistant Arts Professor in the New Media focused graduate Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP). His courses address, among other things, the interrelated effects of the topology of social networks and technological networks, how our networks shape culture and vice-versa.

If things all pan out according to this new leaked memo, it seems as though Sprint's policy on allowing customers to upgrade their phone early by 10 to 14 days prior to their official date of eligibility, will be no more come June 1st. As the memo so kindly details, it's due to "high costs" that's forcing the number three domestic wireless carrier to end its beloved policy on allowing customers to move into a new device earlier than expected.
Of course, we can guess as to the culprits surrounding all of this, such as the cost of having the iPhone on the Now Network, or possibly the hefty tally that Sprint invested in building up its still nowhere to be found LTE network. Then again, there are probably some Sprint customers who never even knew about this policy in the first place – so yeah, it's not much of a loss in that aspect.

FLORENCE, S.C. - Francis Marion University athletic officials recently announced that former women's basketball player Tracey Tillman Young is the newest inductee into the FMU Athletic Hall of Fame.
The induction ceremony will take place during Homecoming activities on Saturday (Feb. 18) in the Smith University Center gymnasium at approximately 3:15 p.m. between the women's and men's games of the FMU and Flagler College basketball doubleheader.
A native of Society Hill, Young is currently a physical education paraprofessional at Parkside Elementary School in Fredericksburg, Va., and serves as the girls' basketball junior varsity head coach at James Monroe High School. She is married and has four children.
A product of St. John's High School in Darlington, Young played four seasons of basketball at Francis Marion from 1984 to 1988. She earned a B.S. degree in business management from the University of Phoenix.
A four-time All-American – three times named to the first team – she helped lead Francis Marion to a four-year mark of 115-18, two NAIA District Six championships, and the 1986 NAIA national championship. She was named the most valuable player of that 1986 national tournament.
She played in 133 career games and scored 2,686 points, which at that time was second on NAIA career list and is still second in FMU history. She grabbed 1,333 career rebounds, which is second on the FMU list, and she registered 468 blocked shots, which was at that time the NAIA national record and is still the FMU all-time mark.
She recorded a pair of triple-doubles with points, rebounds, and blocked shots: on Dec. 3, 1986 and Feb. 7, 1987. She holds the Patriots' single-season records for field goal percentage (61.1%) and blocked shots (165), and still owns the FMU career mark for field goal percentage (57.7%).
She became the first four-time All-District selection in the history of District Six, and was the district's Player of the Year in 1987. She was selected to the 1986 District Six Tournament All-Tournament Team and was chosen to play in the 1988 District Six All-Star Game.
Other honors she garnered included being a three-time team MVP, seven-time District Six Player of the Week and two-time NAIA national Player of the Week, three-time selection to the Foxy Lady Tournament All-Tournament Team (including one year as MVP), and three years being named to the South Carolina Association of Sportswriters' All-State Team, including Player of the Year recognition in 1987.
Young played her freshman prep season at Rosenwald High School and her final three years at St. John's, where she was a two-time All-State performer for coach Nona Kerr. She also played five seasons of AAU basketball in the Pee Dee area.
Young joins 37 current members in the FMU Athletic Hall of Fame, which was formed in 1991. Past inductees include Chiffonia "Precious" Adderson (women's basketball), Cindy Alford (women's softball), Jeannette Alston (women's basketball, volleyball), Kristi Anderson (women's softball), Mark Bedenbaugh (cross country, track and field), Gary Bennett (golf), Daryl Blume (men's basketball), Jennifer Brabson (women's basketball), Maria Costas (women's basketball, tennis, volleyball), Tom C. Davidson (coach and administrator), Carlton Farr (men's basketball), LaRue Fields (women's basketball, volleyball), Alvaro Figuerola (men's soccer), Allen Floyd (men's basketball), Jennifer Grande Parker (volleyball, women's basketball), Jeremy Halpin (baseball), Sylvia Rhyne Hatchell (women's basketball coach), Lewis Hill (men's basketball coach), Mary Hirst (women's tennis), Wayne Huggins (baseball), Scotty Keefe (baseball), Anthony "Chico" Lombardo (baseball), Sam Lundkvist (men's tennis), Pearl Moore (women's basketball), Robert Moore (men's basketball), Krissy Burt Owens (women's volleyball), Mitch Powell (track and field, cross country), Tommy Randall (golf), Josef Schroeder (men's soccer), Kim Slawson Hawkins (women's basketball player and coach), David Stafford (track and field, cross country), Garth Thomson (men's tennis player and coach), Randy White (track and field, cross country), Mike Wilson (baseball), Lee Whitwell (women's tennis), Bob Wilson (men's basketball player and coach), and Rendy Yates (women's softball player and coach).

Company and agency representatives gathered to kick off United Way's 2000 campaign at Frito-Lay Tuesday morning were labeled "simply the best" -- this year's slogan -- by Brenda Linnick, the director of United Way of Wayne and Holmes Counties.
"You represent what is best in our community -- its people," Linnick told approximately 75 individuals from this year's 23 Pacesetter organizations, along with United Way and its 27 member agencies.
Linnick praised the "collective energy" of those representing government, education, business, industry, labor and human service agencies who met for the celebration breakfast and tour at Frito-Lay.
"I can't think of any combination that can get more done than (the one) in this room," she said.
Complimenting the leadership in the campaign thus far, Linnick introduced the "leader of all leaders," Bob Reynolds, campaign co-chairperson and an attorney with Reynolds and Richard.
Reynolds pointed out the representative cross-section of individuals involved in the campaign, noting, "You're simply the best," while giving credit to Frito-Lay for the use of its tag line. While celebrating the kickoff event and thanking co-chairperson Wayne Newbury of Crown North America, Reynolds sounded a serious note.
"We have a tough assignment this year."
He asked that the group "look below the surface" of unemployment's "historic low," and prevailing prosperous conditions to statistics demonstrating that life is not that good for everyone in the community.
This year the Salvation Army increased nights of shelter provided by 16.5 percent and served more than 20,000 meals in its soup kitchen. The YMCA's Knights Field Camp Program and new Community Youth Center, he said, have been serving 100 youth daily. Two new agencies need support -- one serving as a support system for families confronting Alzheimer's disease and one providing community services for the deaf.
"We did not make the goal last year," Reynolds said, adding that the campaign fell approximately $100,000 short of its target of $1.5 million, which is also this year's goal.
"Some needs did not get met."
The top 30 programs identified as two-thirds of United Way's total "are going to make or break our campaign," Reynolds said, encouraging representatives to "raise the bar for the campaign."
He suggested pushing for one dollar more per week per donor as one method of ensuring that the campaign reaches its goal. Reynolds also asked that individuals be invited to "come out and see our agencies in action, bringing home what we're trying to do."
"We can't afford to fail. Our agencies can't afford to fail. People who need our services can't afford to fail," he cautioned.
The mood of the campaign is upbeat.
"We are a unique community," Linnick said. "When we asked each one of you to step up to this leadership role, the answer came back a resounding 'Yes'."
" ... When I have taken company representatives on tour to our agencies and asked which of these programs should we continue to fund, the answer came back, 'All of them', " she added.
Reynolds thanked Frito-Lay hosts Niki Atkinson, point person for the company's campaign, and plant manager Jim Barnard who shared "fun facts" about the company's more than 50-year history and its many community contributions, including the "huge public relations" effort of offering plant tours and its product contributions to and financial support of local organizations.
As a subsidiary of Pepsi-Co., Frito-Lay's contribution will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the parent company.
"That shows you the level of importance we put on giving back to the communities in which we do business," Barnard said.
A number of guests and community leaders were introduced during the course of the morning program, including campaign vice-chairman Bill Cross, general manager of performance, and Connie Wayne, the new marketing director for United Way.

Ticket #115 (new enhancement)
allow putting support files in a relative subdir
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
We're adding support in Cabal to maintain an index of all docs installed on the system. The only problem is that we are cluttering the directory with lots of other haddock support files. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/516#comment:1
In the cabal config file we say
doc-index-file: $datadir/doc/index.html
but of course when we call haddock to make the index it generates a bunch of other files in the same directory. This is rather annoying in this use case. Yes we could have the default be something like:
doc-index-file: $datadir/doc/haddock-index/index.html
but since $datadir/doc/ really is the top of the doc tree then it's nice to have the index live there.
What would be ideal is if we could put the index.html file at the top but direct that the support files (css, gif, js) go into a subdirectory relative to the target.
Specifically I'm suggesting something like:
which would then dump the support files into the $odir/haddock-util. The references in the generated html would obviously have to use that relative path to the support files.
This along with being able to suppress the frames output (#114) would make the Cabal haddock index more or less ideal.

How do you check your color while painting in photoshop (or with any other technique), how do you check your color?
In the book by James Gurney "Color and Light:A guide for the realist painter", he says that "Michel-Eugène Chevreul [...] demonstrated that colors can be understood only in relation to each other and that no color exist in isolation."
And while painting in photoshop I use a middle gray background, and while looking for my colors and laying them down to get my palette, I find it really hard to get the right color.
I use a trick used by Carder to learn to see the color, and I put my estimated color ontop of the picture I try to reproduce.
And even if I get the right color it doesn't appear to be good on the gray background, same when I think it is right if I put the color over the picture I can completly see that it's wrong.
The most difficult is to get the right value, sometime I get them way higher then what they are.
So long story made short, do yo have any "trick" or any advice to help to check the color correctly?
Thank you.

Surf camp UK
Surf camp UK offers an all-inclusive surf experience, based in the genuine surf town Newquay, in the county of Cornwall, on the south end of England.
The surroundings feature a stunning countryside as well as a great nightlife - all in the surfing metropolis of the British Islands. The consistent swell is great for beginners, but also has a lot to offer for the more advanced surfer.
Newquay is known for producing great swells all year around. The camp works on 6 different beaches; all good during different types of weather, to make sure that you won't miss out on any surf. The closest beach is just 300 m from the accommodation. If you're already an experienced surfer, you can book the surfari and explore the breaks along the Cornish coast.
After a hard days surfing, the lively town of Newquay has a large number of activities to offer. Most famous for its bars and partying, experiencing the nightlife in downtown Newquay is a must. There are also good opportunities to discuss the surf over a cup of coffee in some cozy café, or go to the nearby zoo. You can also enjoy plenty of scenic walks, boat trips and fishing.
The weather in the area is temperate and generally pleasant from April through October, with July and August being the hottest months, especially at night. The swells are larger during the winter, and the water temperature stays fairly constant throughout the year, thanks to the nearby Gulf stream.
Surf school
Learn how to surf
The surf school is rated a level 3 surf school by the British Surfing Association, which is one of the highest in the country. The classes are usually held at either Newquay Bay, Fistral Beach or Watergate Bay, depending on daily surfing conditions. The school has a big quiver of boards that has something for every surfer, available for use at any time.
- Accommodation at the surf camp - Standard or Upgraded
- Surf school 5 days per week, 6 hours per day
- All surfing equipment needed
- Free WIFI
- A disk of photos of each guests surfing!
- Video/ photo analysis to help improve quicker
- Unlimited Continental breakfast
- Free tea and coffee all day
- Full Kitchen Facilities for guests to use
- Cheap beers at our licensed bar :)
After one week of surf school, most beginners are out there with the instructors catching waves, and the intermediate surfer has improved greatly.
Guided surf trips
Surfaris are guided surf trips for advanced surfers. Surf Camp UK does not offer any surfaris. However, the surf school alternative is designed for more experienced surfers as well.
Surf camp accomodation
The Accommodation we offer is a Surf Lodge located in the heart of Newquay, the UK's surf capital and premier holiday destination.
The surf lodge is less than 5 minutes walk from the sandy beaches of Great western, Towan and Lusty Glaze and a short hop from the famous surf beaches of Fistral and Watergate Bay.
Depending on your preferences, we can offer you two different types of accommodation, standard or upgraded. Standard Accommodation means you will share a room with other surfers while Upgraded accommodation means that you will get a private room in the surf lodge.
Use of all Surf Lodge facilities listed below are included in the price you pay. Please contact us if you require any further information that is not listed. Bar - Well stocked with adjoining lounge / chill out area, where you can warm-up, chill-out or watch films and surf DVD's. You can play pool or party games.

- Free Tea / coffee all day
- Surfboard and wetsuit lock-up. Including space for longboards, bicycles and SUP boards

From the surf lodge it is only a 2 minute walk to the waves and only a ten minute walk to the famous Fistral break. The Surf Lodge is also situated about 200 m from Newquays main street. You can't be more central than this
Since the surf camp i fairly small, we can not accept bookings for only accommodation.The 'Accommodation only' option is for people traveling together with guests booking a surf package.
How to get here
Arrival to the area is easy by flying to Newquay Airport (airport code: NQY), which hasconnections with many European cities. Frequent train and bus connections from all around the UK are also available.
When you arrive at the airport a staff member will meet you and give you a ride to the surf camp. Upon departure you will get a ride back to the airport.

Louder than Life Recipe: Five Finger Death Punch Bassist Chris Kael's #ShitYesSon Bison Burgers
On October 4-5, the first-ever Louder than Life festival will bring music, whiskey, and "gourmet man food" together in Louisville, Kentucky.

Here, Five Finger Death Punch bassist Chris Kael (pictured below, far left) shares the recipe for his signature #ShitYesSon Bison Burgers.
Guaranteed to get a "Shit yes, Son!" at your next backyard BBQ!
As many of you know that follow me on the various social networks (Instagram, Twitter and Facebook), I spend a lot of time at the gym lifting weights and practicing Muay Thai. The LAST thing I want to do after sweating off all of those calories is to head back home and put a bunch of junk back into my body. However, I'm a big dude (6' 2", 220 pounds) and LOVE me a good burger. The following is a recipe for one of the best tasting burgers you'll ever taste - and one that also happens to be damn good for you!
Ingredients (recipe makes 4 burger patties):
- 2 pounds Ground Bison
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar style Almond cheese
- 1/4 cup Bragg Liquid Aminos All Purpose Seasoning
- 1/4 Worcestershire Sauce
- Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Burger Buns
- Garlic power
- All Natural Butter
How to cook:
Heat grill to 475 degrees.
Combine 2 pounds of ground Bison meat, 2 cups shredded Cheddar Style Almond cheese, 1/4 cup Bragg Aminos All Purpose Seasoning, 1/4 Worcestershire Sauce into a mixing bowl. Generously shake garlic powder to the mixture and hand mix until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.
Divide the mixture into four burger patties of equal size. Place burgers on the grill for 6 minutes each side (12 minutes total cook time).
Lightly spread butter onto the inside of the Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Burger Buns. Place directly onto the grill for one minute and remove.
Add burger patties to burger buns and top as you like. One slice of an organic tomato usually does the trick for me! Pair with a couple of pieces of locally grown, organic yellow corn.
Insert burger into mouth and with a full mouth exclaim, "Shit yes, Son!" Wash it all down with an all natural Virgil's Root Beer and you've got yourself a meal fit for a Revolver Golden God!

RPT-Kenya edges towards oil production, hurdles remain
* Tullow says Kenya has 600 million barrels of oil
* Exports depend on $4 billion pipeline project
* Flows through pipeline could start in 2019
By Edmund Blair
NAIROBI, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Tullow Oil's two new finds have moved Kenya closer to oil producer status but reaching that milestone requires developing fields in a remote region, constructing an export route and building local skills in a nation new to the business.
Britain's Tullow has doubled its estimate of discoveries to 600 million barrels in the Lokichar basin, an arid corner of the east African nation, which wants to put itself at the centre of a regional oil boom in the making.
There is probably much more oil there. Consultancy Wood Mackenzie says two onshore basins in Kenya and Uganda could have more than 4 billion barrels in addition to Kenya's existing reserves and the 1.6 billion already found in Uganda.
Even before Kenya's latest finds, Tullow said the two nations could produce 500,000 barrels per day, which would boost Sub Saharan output by 8 percent from current levels of around 6.2 million bpd. Continued...
