POG Discontinued
With the POG you can add one octave up, two octaves up, and one octave down from your original guitar signal and blend them all together - plus it works on strummed or arpeggiated chords! Want your guitar to sound like a 12 string? The POG can do it, especially with controlled detuning - or even make it sound like an 18 string. Easily generate the sound of a drawbar organ. Make your guitar sound like a bass guitar.
Guitar Player magazine's Matt Blackett talks to guitar legend, Joe Satriani, who talks about his EHX POG, Polyphonic Octave Generator.
Here's how producer Thomas Tull describes it: "I wanted to see a movie that captured the essence of why people are so fanatic about the guitar. While there have been a lot of performance documentaries, this one is really about the relationship between these three men and their instruments. We tried to show what drives the artists, what got them passionate as players, what made them pick up the guitar in the first place."
As for me, I was especially chuffed to see the movie's trailer, which begins and ends with Jack White playing a hand-made instrument through a Big Muff Pi. The trailer also includes the White Stripes' "Blue Orchid," one of the first tracks to feature the then-new POG (recently replaced by POG2):
But that's not all! You'll also get a quick look at The Edge sharing a tender moment with his Deluxe Memory Man at the beach:
You can watch the full "It Might Get Loud" movie trailer here:
In addition to the English Muff'n, John has also toured and recorded with the Micro Synthesizer, Big Muff Pi (both USA and Russian), POG, Metal Muff, HOG, Holy Grail, and Deluxe Electric Mistress. That said, I'm sure you fru-heads are still going to email and tell me what I left out.

GamerVeda needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 39 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
Jugaad Box
Jugaad Box is an India-centric start-up. We will be an online marketplace for wares and services (think eBay.com).
The essence of our brand is in the term, "Jugaad," which is a Hindi word that means an "innovative fix" or "engineering through extreme constraints." Jugaad is mind set, a mental state around trying to find innovative solutions to problems where there are severely limited resources. The following is an excerpt from an article on the topic:
"The variety of solutions to seemingly intractable problems: motorcycles chopped in half and welded to carts to create centaur goods haulers. The way families would fit mother, father, and three kids onto a single scooter. The clever repurposing of used water bottles as cooking oil containers. Rope spun from discarded foil packets. Cricket wickets made from precariously balanced stacks of rocks."
Please read the following articles to get a better idea of "Jugaad"
• http://boingboing.net/2009/10/07/ju…uct-t.html
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugaad
We are targeting both males and females, young professionals and college-aged Indian students within India. This target demographic is globally minded, tech savvy, and well versed in the latest trends.
We're interested in something edgy with a professional touch. Ideally, we're looking for you guys to have some fun with the lettering itself where we want to integrate the idea of "jugaad" directly. Though we don't want to influence you too much, an example of this could be turning the letter "o" in "box" into a hanging tire. However, it's critical that the logo is very clear and legible regardless of what you do. We feel one of the major challenges in designing the logo will be in making the logo look cool and inviting, while avoiding a sense of being cheap and gaudy.
Unless you think it would really add value, we'd suggest avoiding the use of an actual box or any other object unless it's directly incorporated into the lettering of the logo.
Colorwise, our site contains primarily browns, oranges, whites, and reds. We're fine with either a contrasting color scheme or an analogous color scheme for the logo. And though we are targeting an Indian audience, there is no need to overly "Indianize" the logo, simply use the influence sparingly.
Attached is a portion of the site, as reference, which should illustrate the placement of the logo and site color scheme. Please disregard our existing logo.
We will be using the winning logo for both print and web, so it's critical that it's designed for such use. (i.e.CMYK, Adobe Illustrator vector file, etc.)

I would not dismiss spiritual warfare to the realm of book sales and horror stories quite as quickly as you may. The picture of putting on armor truly is for the protection of our own lives. It is to enable us to 'stand', which Paul emphasizes several times. The battle was fought and won on the cross. We are the trophy or the spoils of this battle, and this is where our involvement is critical - on whose side do we stand.
It is commonly stated that the sword is the only offensive part of this armor. I would like to argue that every part of the armor is offensive in one way or another. Truth, for example, is offensive to those lives are bound up with lies and deception. Righteousness is offensive to those who love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil.
We live in a culture where the manifestation of evil is not very visible or demonstrative. My brother served as a missionary in a culture in which the spirit realm was a prominent element. It was believed that spirits controlled the crops, health, security, weather, and most all of the circumstances of tribal life. The local witch doctor was a powerful man in the tribe, and the fear of displeasing the spirits was very real. The gospel of Jesus Christ is wholly effective to save and set free those who live under such oppression and bondage. The picture that Paul provides takes on a new perspective in situations like this.
My brother was also perplexed that the church's doctrinal statements of belief, prepared and formulated in our culture, were very 'weak' in terms of declaring the triumph of the cross over all the powers of evil, and that missionary appointees were inadequately schooled to deal with these kinds of issues on the mission field. Incidentally, Wycliffe bible translators were active in the area in which he worked.
Wherever in scripture Satan is shown in a poor light, he works hard to confuse the issues. We find this true of the garden of Eden, Jesus birth, life, death and resurrection, and particularly, Christ's return and judgement. It is also true of this passage of putting on the armor of God, spiritual warfare and spiritual victory. There are excesses of thought on both sides. My hope is that we can find solid ground, where we neither dismiss the reality of the issue, nor pursue it to a point of excess where the benefit of it is lost in unbiblical ritual.

Parking Lot Jungle
There's a four-way stop in the middle of our parking lot at work. I've joked with people, saying that getting across this parking lot is the most dangerous part of my morning commute. Sometimes that's even true as my co-workers seem to believe that if they can only go fast enough, they can reverse the flow of time and arrive at work early for a change.
The incident I'm about to describe happened a week ago.
I was going south, approaching that intersection on my bike along a 2 lane roadway. The cross traffic up ahead has 3 lanes, 1 inbound from my left and 2 outbound coming from the right. Three cars were in the inbound lane. Just before I reached the intersection, the first car stopped, and then went on. I stopped before the next one did, so my turn was next. (In OKlahoma, it's first in first out.)
The guy in the second car waited as I moved out from the stop sign, turning left onto the outbound lanes. The woman behind him, however, didn't see any real need to stop. She merely slowed, crossed the centerline into the oncoming lane, and nearly collided with an uppity cyclist who had the audacity to be where she intended to go. What nerve!
I yelled, "Hey!" My voice echoed back from the nearby warehouse. I can be VERY loud.
She stopped abruptly, apparently puzzled and annoyed that a pesky cyclist would confront her so rudely.
OK, no one was hurt. We didn't swap paint. It was just another example of a driver doing something out of habit. We all get habituated to ignoring stop signs when they're close together as they are in this parking lot. Habits can get us hurt or killed, regardless of whether they're our's or a motorist's. I'm certain that woman has driven into the oncoming lane many, many times.
And I can say this with authority because she did it again this morning. Some people evidently do not or cannot learn from their mistakes. I'm trying very hard to avoid pursuing and confronting motorists, but I may make an exception.
North 129th East Avenue
That infamous 2 lane section of North 129th East Avenue is being widened to 4 lanes from 76th Street all the way to 96th. The first half mile north of 76th is finished, but it's currently restricted to 2 lanes until the whole mile is complete. There's an S bend snaking around a construction area at mid-block.
I started up through there after the light changed. A semi-truck pulling a huge earth moving machine on a flat bed turned and followed me. His load was easily 12 feet wide and had the requisite 'wide load' placards front and back. The truck was heavy and going up that grade only a little bit faster than me.
Now, as regular readers of CycleDog know, I'm an assertive commuter. Not aggressive - assertive. I did the Train A vs Train B calculations in my head and found that he'd overtake at that S bend, more or less. As far as most other vehicles are concerned, I'd maintain my road postion. But I didn't want a driver with a large, heavy load behind me as the bend loomed up ahead. There are 2 cross streets also. Hmmm. Cyclist, huge truck, potentially distracted driver. That's not a good combination.
I moved over to the right to let him by, then accelerated again and tucked in behind a minivan as we went north at only 17 mph. The truck had a police car right behind, then the van followed. I was drafting it as another police car sat behind me. More cars were behind him.
All the drivers were VERY polite. No honking. No engines revving. No shouted comments. Imagine that.
At work, I'm known as the 'bike guy' - a source for information about our lycra-wrapped clan. One of our engineers, Matt, stopped by to ask some questions about bike commuting. He wants to leave the family car parked in the driveway, save some money, and get some exercise. I'm all in favor of it, although my ideas of providing exercise for engineers consists of over-sized hamster wheels and mild electric shocks. Of course, this rests on the as yet unproven assumption that engineers have learning curves.
Anyway, Matt wants to try bike commuting. He has a mountain bike and plans to use a backpack to haul his work clothes and lunch. I suggested fitting the bike with slicks rather than knobby tires, and told him it would make a perfectly acceptable commuter. Still, he's taking up bike commuting at mid-summer when daytime temperatures are routinely in the upper 90s. His first attempt will be tomorrow.

There is a saying
here..."Everything's bigger in Texas." This is so true when it comes to the Texas State Fair, I don't think the 'State Fair' does it justice, you just have to see it to believe it. I absolutely love the Texas State Fair.....I love the food, the sites, and the sounds. Here is an old familiar sight I've grown up looking at, you can see it outside of the fair grounds, it's HUGE....and it's worth a trip around to go on a ferris wheel this large! As you might have guessed, this is how I spent my Saturday morning :O).

Over the Hill....at high speeds...
Jason's 30th birthday was today. As I've mentioend before he was given his option of quite a few things, but what we settled on was a gift of 'driving.' October 15th we are head out to the Texas Motor Speedway (a few weeks before the race) and he's taking 'driving school' and then he gets to drive and be driven around the track at speeds up to 150 mph....should be interesting. So....the theme this year (based on the Nascar cupcake holders we found) was......Nascar. Anyone that knows Jason knows he lives
and breathes sports.....especially Nascar and Tony Stewart....

Pitiful Paw....
Lilly had her vet visit this afternoon, the vet had to snip her nail off, it was broken to the quick (he had to take her to another room b/c her being upset would have upset me...and she was), she's been limping all weekend :O(......so now....to keep it from getting dirt up into the sensitive opening he wrapped it, we've been through this before, under different circumstances. I figured this was a situation that needed a picture. What were the vets only recommendations?-That she leave it on for 48 hours.....as you can see, Lilly didn't listen. Notice
Max in the background going nuts over the 'Vet' smell, never did a dog love the vet so much, most dogs pull out the door, Max has to be dragged out pulling back towards the vets and their assistance.

Muffin's Big Day
Today was Muffin's 15th birthday.....I let her 'escape' for a little while and sniff the grass, which is usually a big no no, she also had a few special meals, which is really what birthday are all about.....
Not to lesson the glow of that big news.....the Plano Balloon Festival is now over. The positive is it was gorgeous weather, the negative is that I don't think any balloons were able to ever go up, they are really beatiful when they launch them, but it's not the only time they do....it's just not in such mass amounts with such unique designs the rest of the year.....but....I enjoyed the wind, and the sunshine?
Lilly also had a big adventure, she got her toe nail caught in one of my wrought iron lounge chairs, she was trying to get up next to my Mom, usually that would be fine, but the cushion wasn't in the chair. She paniced and ended up ripping her toe nails, one in particular bled for a long time and is still hanging on. She's limping and not feeling good, and on her way to the vet tomorrow (I haven't told her that yesterday)....if we survive the car ride (she is a terror) all should be well.
Jason also turns thirty tomorrow.....whoa....that's so old I have to go sleep off the shock of it!

A Week in Review
I know, I know....the burning question in everybody's mind is WHAT has Christy been doing this week?
1. I SAID, "NO!" Yes, I, Christy, who stress about my workload, promise next time I'll say no to a project, and then say yes to three more actually said "No." to teaching Saturday school this fall (though it's required in the spring). I even had to say "No" to two different individuals and then just disregarded an email to a larger group. Hold the applause....I'm not done yet. Notice my "No." Only has a period and not an exclamation mark because I almost said "Yes." I almost slipped off the wagon.....next time it'll be "No!"....get in your request now before I get too good at this :O).
2. I'm almost, kinda, but not quite caught up with my scrapbook for the year! I have not started on my Hawaii album yet (which is going to be a MUCH bigger project, which I'll enjoy), but I'm to a point where the photos I haven't put in my book are still on my camera so I can't do anymore now and I can put it up until after Sandye's shower (in two weeks-time to clean).
3. I don't really have a three, but I didn't want the number 3 to feel excluded from my blog: So, this week I had lots of meetings, LOTS.....but nothing really life altering.....but it's only Friday :O). I do have a few other events early in the week I'll be sure to post about! Hold on to the edge of your computer chair for those little kernels and tidbits!

Happy Birthday, Mom :O)
Today was the '23rd anniversary of my Mom's 29th birthday' (I figured I'd help you out before you attempted to count the number of candles on her cake). I'm so full right now I can barely type over my big belly. Jason and Tonya started out the day by coming over to eat breakfast (with a side of laundry and Nascar, what every Mom dreams of...), but they did spend several hours over visiting and eating. Next, Mom and I stopped at a few shops, grabbed a bite to eat (Do you see the trend here?) and then met Holly and Lois for a swim....everyone in the family is a little addicted to water. I swim so much, usually on MY birthday, the gift I ask for is not to have to swim ;o). Then.....old people need a lot of sleep, so Mom and Max laid down (I am, of course, only referring to Max, who is 35 in dog years now, and has 11 white hairs in the middle of his chest) and watched some recorded court TV (their favorite, according to Mom, Max likes the shows, but she watches them with him to keep him company). We spent the evening at Lois'.....shocking as it may seem, everybody is required to have a 'theme' for their birthday. Another mind blowing fact is that my Mom wanted something pink....Pink Superwoman plates and decorations was right up her alley. There was more eating, a 'sheath' cake....another family tradition, mostly the tradition there is it's a great cake as long as Lois or Holly make it. There are two reasons it's good 1) The rest of us couldn't make it if we tried (and we've tried) and 2) Yum, chocolate cake, from scratch, covered with homemade icing. We also played the traditional basketball game (Brian won, per usual.....until further notice, or Jimmy and Lydia visit.....that's pretty much the outcome of every game so I won't bother mentioning the outcome, I just 'play for fun'....unless I win....and then....of course it was skill)....Lastly, we took a walk.....note-two exercises in one day....and still....I think I'll be spending the rest of fall working off all these sweets.....but it's worth it to celebrate a birthday with my very favorite Mom :O)

A few fun facts for Monday....
There are a few interesting facts I didn't know until I started teaching, some of them, some....not so good. Did you know that in Texas all students say the Texas State Pledge right after they say the Pledge of Allegiance in the morning? I didn't even know there WAS a Texas State Pledge! I remember it shocked me when I started student teaching b/c we never did that when "I" was in school, I wonder if all states do, or it's one of those 'Texas' things...it's so true, if you ask someone while traveling abroad where from Texans will say "Texas" before they will say the United States. We also have a moment of silence each morning, which I really appreciate. There are also a lot of legal things we have to do as schools, one of them is celebrating Constitution Day (did you know there was such a day? I didn't until now....). So...this year, your's truly was selected to get this going (nobody else would do it I would imagine)......I have a couple little announcments my kids are making and then I've created our 'school' constitution, based on our mission statement. We have those little feather pens for the kids to then sign their names to the bottom, first names only b/c it is illegal to post a first and LAST name of a student ANYWHERE in the building (things have definitely changed). Law suits have been won over students passing out other student's papers (and seeing the grades) via the right to privacy etc etc etc....I think it's silly when I hear other teachers say it's almost impossible to get fired....ha, I could have thought of 15 different ways today to have put my job in jeopardy. Not that the reasons aren't a little silly, but it's all to easy. Remember how they used to put your name on the board with a check for each additional 'offense' you committed? I think that would make the news.....I was listening to this really big 'debate' the other day on the news station about a girl that got sent home b/c they actually 'measured' her skirt in school and made her go change it b/c it was too short....and.....? I always heard education was a cycle and things come in and go out and then you see them again 20 years later.....in some cases....I certainly hope so!

I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar....
This is my theme song for the day, I didn't select it, my memory did as I was 'slaving away' at a very Home Depotish project. Oh the horror.....I do so hate home repairs, but I hate paying 10 plus times the cost for someone else to do something I can do.....So....a few months ago my tiles started popping off, to give you the short version of the story, I'll skip past the whys and go to the solution. I had called to see how much it would cost to have someone else do this little home improvement for me because I realized the dry wall was going to have to be replaced as well (absolute TORTURE). The guy quoted me for four rows of tile at 600+ dollars (I want to say it was more like 8, but I'm trying not to exagerate this, so I'm low balling my memory). He went into this long explanation about how he would be using this really great material called Du Rock....if you really want to know what that is, I can tell you in person, I'm skipping that too, but just let me say I was able to buy the same 'special' board for 8 bucks and I have over half of it left! In the end I would say the projects ended up costing me a whole day (sorry for all the missed calls) and about 50 bucks. So last night I gutted the area that was falling apart, sawed away at the old sheet rock. Then this morning I started cutting this DuRock (total pain the butt) and hammered it up (I hate hammering).....then came the 'stuff' that sticks the tiles up, tiles, grout, caulk....wa la, it's almost finished. All I have to do now is go and clean up the old tiles blah blah blah......and I have to repaint some areas that were ruined by a bathroom fiasco awhile back....but the bulk of the hard stuff is done.....BUT as I was nailing that Du Rock up, that old 70's song "I Am Woman" started going through my head. I'm pretty proud of myself, if I do say so myself. My Mom kept saying, "Ask Jason to help....I'm going to see if Jason will come over and.....Why don't you get Jason to....." I appreciate Jason's help, but I also think we are all more capable of doing things than we realize, I wanted to know I could do it. Ha, but I might ask him to help with the next project, especially if it involves wood.....I don't like saws and he keeps collecting them in my garage. Oh, or anything dead.....that's a Jason job. So, the bottom line is, did I do a 'great' job? Not so much. Could I go into business? Not unless I want to get sued. Will it hold? As long as nobody takes a bath in it...but really, who's counting, the point is, I did it alllll by myself! ;o)....I'm hoping to someday replace the tub, but I put something in I hope will hold for another five years until I can pay cash to do that, I have other more 'pressing' things to take care of now! Tomorrow I don't have anything quite as dramatic planned, but a lot of cleaning I had on my to do list three months ago......

Birthdays :O)
Today is Lilly's birthday, she's still waiting for a few gifts, but so far, so good, she got to run around in the sunshine for the first time in a long time.....and a big ole stick fell in her yard at some point this afternoon, I can only IMAGINE the excitement....

The Cliff Notes of Lilly's Big Adventure.....
This morning I heard this racket, imagine thousands of marbles, boxes being moved and a clackety clack.....being a pet owner, I instantly knew.....one of the animals did something. I got up and watched a yellow butt wearing a plastic litter box lid in lu of the front of it's body run past my room. Lilly in her BAD GIRL attempt to get kitty crunchies (Kelly lingo) somehow walked her head and her two from paws.....and shoulders into the litter box. The litter box barely allows her head in, I don't know HOW she got the rest in. She was running around with half of her body under the hood she must have ripped off the bottom of the box trying to get out of it. She was a good girl for me while I tried to figure that physics problem out, it was squished around her upper torso with little room for my fingers, much less pushing her legs out. After a lot of squeezing, and strange angling I was able to BEND her legs back one at a time. I thought for awhile it was going to be a really interesting emegency vet visit b/c there was no way to cut through the THICK plastic. The scary thing is to wonder what she would have done had I not been home. There is no way she'd be getting out of it....and she couldn't have sat down unless she was to sit on a thick rim. ARGH! Max would have been too busy eating a shoe or sprinkles to help her.....NO, there are no pictures, I wasn't cruel enough to ask her to pose.....I was as frantic as she was trying to figure out how to get it off.....

Henry Ray
This cute little baby belongs to Carrilee (a fellow Baylor grad), who now lives a in Washington most of the time, but came to the metroplex to visit grandparents and friends. Getting to meet Henry in person was definitely one of the highlights of an already great weekend :O). I watched cute Henry wiggle, wiggle, wiggle and taste every toy and body part in sight and caught up with Carrilee on the last five months of being a Mom. I know by the time he comes back this next winter he'll probably be showing off his running skills....he has a very busy agenda, no doubt he's got a lot of talent to put to use inherited from Mom and Dad. He is such a happy, sweet baby, he must know what an amazing Mom he's got :O).

Celebrating Mom....
A year ago today was a much different experience.....but.....a year has past, and a lot of things have changed, for the better. This day, this year, this month is all about celebrating life! My Mom and I went out to dinner somewhere we've never eaten DINNER at before (though I've eaten lunch there quite a few times, including my Sweet 16 with a bunch of friends, three or four that might be reading this) ....Antares in Reunion Tower. I've mentioned it in past blogs (I think) for those of the non-local people-it's the big 'ball' in the skyline of Dallas. Dinner was good, and then we headed up to the Observation Deck (though dinner is just one big rotating observation deck anyway). It was a windy/nice night. I had to use my night flash, and with the wind etc, the skyline is a little blurry in the background, and the flash was bright...but you get the idea...this year is about smiles :O) OK....on a side note with smiling in mind, there was a Japanese Anime festival with literally HUNDREDS upon HUNDREDS of people attending in their Anime costumes at the same hotel.....I really don't think I could do it justice....but you can be sure I'd be more than HAPPY to describe this episode in person, I was out of place without my mouse ears, tail and leather outfit....if it's not Kappa Weekend (only Marie will get this one), or National Rodeo Finals on vacation (you should have seen the airport metal detector with those belt buckles), or the Miss Texas contest (we order a pizza and the security escorted the delivery man up to make sure it wasn't one of the contestants staying at the hotel getting it).....it's Japanese Anime....I CERTAINLY know how to keep a smile on my face through some pretty impressive timing...I've got a million of them. Stick with me if you want to vacation/experience some of the more bizarre things in life :O).

Connecting the Historic Haymarket with downtown movie theaters, the University of Nebraska and our entertainment district is the goal of the Market Place Project. Market Place is a downtown revitalization project which stretches along "P" street from 9th to 17th streets. It is intended that the development will result in a more pedestrian friendly, entertainment-oriented destination for Lincoln.
Many changes took place along "P" street during the summer of 1998, beginning with contractors rebuilding deteriorating sidewalks during the first improvement phase. With the anticipated addition of retail storefronts, shoppers will have plenty of places to relax between shops. Among the amenities users of the area can expect to find are strategically placed benches, information kiosks, improved lighting, and trash receptacles. This street furniture has the opportunity to reinforce the image of the area as a pedestrian friendly street environment. The popularity of sidewalk cafes in the Haymarket is a trend that planners hope to see repeated in Market Place on "P" street. Other possible active uses of the sidewalks will be vendors of convenience items such as flowers, speciality food items and newspapers that will appeal to the busy commuter.
An integral part of the improvements is a tree and shrub planting program. A coordinated landscape plan will reinforce the identity of Market Place on a human scale while providing welcome shade during hot summers.
If you would like more information about the Market Place project, call the Downtown Lincoln Association at 434-6900.

U.S. 19 looks like a pretty big piece of road, at least until both northbound lanes are crammed with motorcycles - some 275 of them. Cars and trucks waited, and their drivers stared, as a mile-long parade of chrome, fringed leather and flames flowed through the tiny U.S. 19-State Road 24 interchange into Otter Creek Saturday morning.

No one likes paying taxes. But this year, some of the biggest losers are married working women, who are being discouraged from working by high effective marginal tax rates, both at the bottom and the top end of the income scale.
Other losers are working women, or unemployed women who receive benefits such as food stamps and Medicaid, who postpone marriage because it is just too expensive.
The labor force participation rate of prime-age working women has been declining over the past decade, especially since 2007. In 2003, 76% of prime-aged women were in the labor force. Ten years later, in 2013, this declined to 74%.
In the U.K., women's labor force participation rates, at 80%, have grown over the same period — even though in 2001 women in the U.S. and the U.K. were participating in the labor force in the same proportion, about 76%. (See chart below.)
The U.K. has no marriage penalty in its tax code because married couples file separately and have their own personal exemptions (about $17,000 per person). So marriage does not push a woman into a higher tax bracket. The U.K. has three rates, 20%, 40% and 45% (for taxable income over $250,000).
Here is the real war on women: In the U.S., when single women work and are considering marriage, higher rates discourage marriage. Sometimes high tax rates result in women quitting the workforce altogether.
Working women are disproportionately represented in the top fifth of the income distribution, where combined federal and state marginal income tax rates can reach over 50%. Frequently it is their work that pushes the family into the top brackets. Transportation, child care and professional clothing are additional costs to moving into the workforce.
Census Bureau data in the table at the top of this story show that in 2012, in the top fifth of earners, 78% of households were married couples, and 5% of households were women living alone. In the top 5% of income earners, 81% were married couples and 4% were women living alone.
In contrast, in the bottom fifth of income earners, 17% of households were married couples, and 36% were women living alone.
The same pattern holds for earners. In the top fifth, 76% of households had two earners, and in the bottom fifth, only 5% had two earners.
Mothers are more affected by the marriage penalty than other women because they are more likely to move out of the labor force to look after their children. They are also more likely to return to work when their children are in school or have left home.
America could follow the U.K.'s example and move to single, instead of joint, filing. This is not popular because all tax rates would have to rise to generate the same amount of tax revenue. Alternatively, a flatter tax rate or a deduction for the second earner are two ways to reduce the marriage penalty.
The tax-reform plan released by House Ways and Means Chairman David Camp lowers the top tax rate to 25%, but a surtax raises this to 35%, so women would still face a substantial marriage penalty close to what they face today, when the top rate is 39.6%. Over the period from 2014 to 2023, taxes on individuals — including repeal of the alternative minimum tax — would decline by about $600 billion. Without AMT repeal, individual taxes would rise by $743 billion.
Alternatively, working wives would be helped by a deduction for second earners. The tax code had such a deduction from 1981 to 1986. Congressional Research Service senior specialist Jane Gravelle proposed a second earner deduction in hearings before the Senate Budget Committee on April 8. She said: "Secondary earners (typically married women) have a larger labor supply response to wages than primary earners, although this differential has been narrowing in recent years."
Gravelle continued: "They also tend to face higher taxes when deciding whether to participate in the labor market than most other workers, because their tax rate begins at the rate on the last dollar of income earned by their spouse."

Cooking rice usually takes me at least an hour, and I usually only get home at 5 in the afternoon. I also don't like eating very late in the day, so naturally cooking is a bit of a time conflict, and I'm usually trying to find ways to cut down on the time I use to cook rice. I figure cutting out rice washing would cut time in half. But is it a good idea to store rice after it's been washed and drained for a long time, or should it be used pretty soon after?
It's usually recommended that you use rice should be used up to an hour after washing and draining. By washing it you've already exposed it to moisture of course, which can hasten spoilage. I guess it could keep ok in the refrigerator for longer than that, as long as you cover it very well so it doesn't pick up odd fridge smells and the like!
You may also want to consider investing in a rice cooker, which will allow you to set a timer and have the rice done cooking when you are ready for it. (See the massive Do I need a rice cooker thread though for opinions on both sides!)

- Wherever you go, there you are. -
well, not the same thing, but once I washed some rice and did not use it.
A few hours later, it was stinky. Wasted about 3 cups of rice. xD So use it soon.

The uniform is one of the Aims and Methods of the Scouting Program.
- "The uniform makes the Boy Scout troop visible as a force for good and creates a positive youth image in the community. Boy Scouting is an action program, and wearing the uniform is an action that shows each Boy Scout's commitment to the aims and purposes of Scouting. The uniform gives the Boy Scout identity in a world brotherhood of youth who believe in the same ideals. The uniform is practical attire for Boy Scout activities and provides a way for Boy Scouts to wear the badges that show what they have accomplished." - Aims and Methods of the Scouting Program
When is a Scout "in uniform"?
A Scout is "in uniform" when he wears the full uniform for his program:
- Cub Scout/Webelos uniform has required parts:
- Cap. Tiger Cub cap, Cub Scout Wolf cap, Cub Scout Bear cap, or Webelos cap
- Neckerchief and Slide. Triangular for that rank level
- Shirt. Official long- or short-sleeve, blue for Tiger Cubs and Cub Scouts and either blue or tan (optional) for Webelos Scouts.

See the online Insignia Guide for more information. You can purchase uniforms online at Scoutstuff.org or at local Scout Shops.
Prohibition of Alteration or Imitation
BSA Rules and Regulations -- Article X, Section 4. INSIGNIA, UNIFORMS and BADGES
- Clause 4. Prohibition of Alteration or Imitation
- (a) No alteration of, or additions to, the official uniforms, as described in the official publications, or the rules and regulations covering the wearing of the uniform and the proper combinations thereof on official occasions, may be authorized by any Scouting official or local Council or any local executive board or committee, except the National Executive Board after consideration by the Program Group Committee.
- (b). Imitation of United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps or Air Force uniforms is prohibited, in accordance with the provisions of Act of Congress, approved June 3, 1916.
The uniform is not required
Even for an Eagle Scout Board of Review, the uniform "should" be worn but is not required to be worn:
- "The Scout should be neat in appearance and his uniform should be as correct as possible..."
The only exception is that Scout and adult leader participants attending a National Jamboree are required to be in uniform. Visitors do not need to be in uniform.

We've chronicled Dana Holgorsen's long fruitless search for a warm body to stick on the depth chart, culminating in an emailed plea to the entire student body. Well, the Mountaineers have finally found their man:
"I have no idea who it is," Holgorsen said. "I don't know his name. I don't know where he's from. I don't know if he can throw left handed or right handed. I don't know anything."
That's...heartening. We actually know a little bit about Ian Loy, who looked goofy at practice yesterday because he was allowed to wear a helmet but not pads. He's a juco transfer who came over as a in the winter of 2008, but left the team before he could be anything other than a redshirt freshman walk-on. He's back, with two years of high school starting experience, and is the number 3 guy in Morgantown.

The Rise of Robotics for Physical Therapy
A person who has suffered from a stroke or spinal-cord injury might need to use crutches or a wheelchair as they gradually regain lost motion through physical therapy.
But these patients could see drastically different effects strapping on a robotic bodysuit or a bionic limb and walking around like Iron Man as they heal. And such digital hardware has the potential to make them recover faster, as well.
This is the thinking at several privately held medical robotics companies, several of whom are planning major roll-outs of the technology to thousands of rehabilitation clinics nationwide, and even the home. Price points are coming down while demand among physical therapists is beginning to rise, several company founders say.
Venture investors for the most part have stayed on the sidelines, questioning how large the market for high-tech rehabilitation products is really likely to be.
But company founders say the notoriously sleepy market could quickly come alive, as tens of thousands of physical therapists realize that their clinics can afford a robotic exoskeletons or a remote-controlled limb, and that using such gadgets has a profound effect on patients.
"You should see the psychological effect from using this kind of device," said Nathan Harding, chief executive of California-based robotic-exoskeleton maker Ekso Bionics Inc.
"Instead of sitting in a wheelchair, this person just gets up and walks. It's wonderful to see that. We had this prototype that we were taking around to hospitals, but we had to re-design it. It had an [off] button on the back, and we had to move that button.
"The first thing a person does when they see a loved one get up and walk is they run up and throw their arms around them. We learned pretty fast that someone is going to run up and hug that person, so we definitely had to move that [off] button."
Is such futuristic technology destined to remain in the realm of astronauts and elite soldiers, or will everyday people soon get the chance to feel futuristic instead of disabled?

Witt Throws for 370 Yards in Loss
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Hurt by a career-high 192 yards and two touchdowns from Brown running back Mark Kachmer, combined with 224 yards and three touchdowns from quarterback Kyle Newhall-Caballero, the Yale football team saw its chance to maintain control of its destiny in the race for the Ivy League title slip away with a 34-28 loss to Brown Saturday afternoon at the Yale Bowl, Class of 1954 Field. The Bulldogs also hurt themselves with three interceptions, one lost fumble, a blocked punt and a missed field goal.
"We didn't play well enough to win," said Tom Williams, Yale's Joel E. Smilow '54 Head Coach of Football. "We turned the ball over; we didn't take advantage of field position; we had a punt blocked. When you do things like that in a game of this magnitude you're probably going to lose."
Kachmer set the tone for the day when he broke off a 95-yard run for a touchdown on the Bears' third play from scrimmage to put Brown up 7-0 at 8:03 of the first. After a burst through the line Kachmer picked up some blocks and then headed for the right sideline, where he was able to outrun the Yale defense into the end zone. It was the longest run in Brown history.
"That's not necessarily where I was supposed to go on that play," Kachmer said. "I just followed my fullback."
Yale (4-4, 3-2 Ivy League) answered with a six-play, 80-yard drive for a touchdown that culminated with senior quarterback Patrick Witt keeping the ball for a one-yard scoring dive. Witt had four big pass plays on the drive, including a 15-yarder to junior tailback Mordecai Cargill, a nine-yarder and a 15-yarder to sophomore receiver Deon Randall and a 31-yarder to junior wide receiver Chris Smith.
Junior placekicker Philippe Panico tied the game with the extra point, but that would wind up being Yale's last point for more than two quarters' worth of action. The Bears went back ahead on a 19-yard pass from Newhall-Caballero to receiver Jimmy Saros at 11:44 of the second, then tacked on a six-yard scoring toss from Newhall-Caballero to receiver Jonah Fay right before halftime to take a 20-7 lead (the extra point after Saros' score was blocked).
The Bulldogs, meanwhile, struggled to get their offense going. After having produced two different 200-yard rushers in each of the past two weeks -- Cargill last week and senior tailback Alex Thomas two weeks ago at Penn -- the Bulldogs were limited to seven yards on the ground Saturday. The offense had four straight three-and-outs at one point in the first half, and the next possession ended with an interception.
"Early on Brown did a nice job controlling the line of scrimmage," said Williams. "When it became a two-score [deficit], we became a little more one-dimensional."
The Bulldogs were pinned at their own two-yard line by a punt early in the third quarter, and when they failed to get a first down the punt was blocked and Brown set up 21 yards from the Eli end zone. Five plays later -- including four runs by Kachmer -- the Bears were in the end zone again, this time on a one-yarder by Kachmer.
That was just one example of the impact Brown's kicking game had Saturday, as punter Nate Lovett pinned the Bulldogs inside their own 20 three times and had a pair of 50+ yard boots. Yale was also limited to an 18-yard average on kickoff returns after Smith burned the Bears for a pair of kickoff returns for touchdowns last year.
"Those were big momentum plays," Williams said. "It reminded me of last year's game (a 27-24 Yale win), where we were able to pin them inside the five-yard line. That certainly put us in a tough spot offensively."
The Bulldogs were also in a tough spot because Smith, who missed last week's game with an injury, was hurt once again and finished with only two catches. Thomas also was out, leaving Yale thin at the skill positions.
But the Bulldogs were still dangerous enough to make things interesting. Witt hit sophomore receiver Jackson Liguori for a three-yard touchdown at 4:26 of the third to pull Yale within 27-14.
"With the kind of skill they have, they have the opportunity to come back," said Brown head coach Phil Estes. "The story was we capitalized on turnovers and made some big plays."
The Bulldogs would regret a missed opportunity at the start of the fourth quarter, when sophomore wide receiver Brandis Yarrington recovered a punt that was fumbled by the Bears at the Brown 12. After a short completion and then a run for a loss, an incompletion on third down left Yale to settle for a field goal attempt that went wide left. The next two Yale drives ended with interceptions.
A punt that the Bulldogs fumbled away at their own 10 gave Brown the chance to go up 34-14 on a two-yard pass from Newhall-Caballero to Kachmer with 8:55 to play.
Yale showed some life with a 69-yard drive for a touchdown (a two-yard run by Witt) in which Witt made a crucial fourth-and-three conversion at the Brown 27 with a pass to sophomore H-back Beau Palin. Panico's extra point pulled Yale within 34-21 with 5:42 to play.
When Brown was unable to kill the clock -- senior outside linebacker Matt Battaglia stopped Kachmer on fourth-and-eight from the Yale 26 with 3:07 to play -- things got even more interesting. The Bulldogs drove 77 yard in 100 seconds for an 18-yard touchdown from Witt to Cargill. Witt completed six of seven passes on the drive, including a 27-yarder to sophomore receiver Cameron Sandquist and a 23-yarder to Cargill. Witt finished the day with 370 yards, completing 34 of 46 attempts.
But Brown recovered the onside kick, and Yale's frustrating day came to a conclusion when the Bears fumbled their attempt at taking a knee but still managed to recover.
"I know we had our hands on it," said Williams. "I was told [the official] ruled simultaneous possession."
Brown (7-1, 4-1 Ivy League) remains in the thick of the Ivy title race, tied for second with Penn a game behind first-place Harvard (5-0 in the league). Yale now turns its attention to winning the "Big Three" championship with the Crimson and Princeton. The Bulldogs visit the Tigers next Saturday.

ICAAC HIV Poster Roundup #2: Clinically Relevant Findings
September 20, 2011
Here's a quick sampling of some of the more clinically relevant HIV-related posters (from a U.S. clinician's standpoint) that were presented at ICAAC 2011 on Monday, Sept. 19. To shake things up after I put yesterday's roundup in ascending order by poster number, the order of these summaries will be in descending order. (Try to keep your hat on.)
CD4:CD8 Ratios Infrequently Recover: A CD4:CD8 ratio roughly in the 1 to 2 range is considered typical of healthy adults, but such a ratio tends to be relatively uncommon among people with HIV. Could highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) restore that ratio? A team of Canadian researchers studied the CD4:CD8 ratio of more than 4,500 HIV-infected individuals, 81% of them men, who were taking antiretroviral therapy. After an average of three years of follow-up, just 7% of the volunteers saw their ratio normalize to 1.2 or higher. Those with a normalized ratio appeared to have a somewhat reduced risk of dying or developing an AIDS-defining illness. (Leung et al; poster H1-1409)
Tenofovir-to-Raltegravir Switch for Renal Recovery: Proteinuria increases and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decreases are sometimes seen among HIV-infected patients taking tenofovir (TDF, Viread), particularly alongside a boosted protease inhibitor (PI). A team of California researchers switched tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC, Truvada) for raltegravir (RAL, Isentress) in 21 patients who were also taking a boosted PI. After 24 weeks, 14 of the patients saw urine protein reductions averaging 20 mg/dL and urine protein clearance reductions averaging 122 mg/g. All but one patient saw their GFR increase by an average of 17.5 ml/min. (Bredeek et al; poster H1-1399b)
Facial Fillers = Bigger Smiles: Poly-L-lactic acid (PLA; Sculptra, New-Fill) is approved in the U.S. to treat facial lipoatrophy in people with HIV; polyacrylamide hydrogel (PHA; Aquamid) is not. French researchers conducted a 96-week, randomized, open-label, noninferiority study comparing the two, and found that the two were pretty similar nearly across the board in terms of visible impact and quality-of-life assessments. That said, more pain was reported with PHA injections, and there was a trend toward more long-term complications among PHA recipients, including potentially serious granuloma-like lesions at the injection site. (Lafaurie et al; poster H1-1399a)
Neurosyphilis Concerns: HIV-infected people may face a higher risk of neurosyphilis in addition to more typical syphilis infection, according to a German study. An examination of cerebrospinal fluid in 80 HIV/syphilis-coinfected people, almost all of whom were men who have sex with men, found signs of early neurosyphilis infection in 17.5% of the volunteers. Only two-thirds of the volunteers showed any symptoms of early syphilis infection, reinforcing the importance of regular testing even in the absence of clinical symptoms. (Esser et al; poster H1-1396)
Tuberculosis and HIV: This conference offered a couple of important reminders that, even in people with advanced HIV disease and tuberculosis (TB), recovery is possible -- but it really would be nice to diagnose people before they're on death's door, if possible. Thai researchers found a three-year survival rate of 91% among HIV/TB-coinfected people with a baseline CD4+ cell count at or below 75 who began antiretroviral therapy. However, survival jumped to 98% at CD4+ cell counts above 75. People who developed an opportunistic infection after initiating HIV treatment had a nine times higher risk of death. (Punyaratabandhu et al; poster H1-1394)
Cardiovascular Markers: An international coterie of studies attempted to clarify the role of particular biomarkers and measurement systems in signaling inflammation or potential cardiovascular risk in HIV-infected people. Researchers from Italy reported that osteoprotegerin, whose production is stimulated by estrogen and is linked to bone and cardiovascular problems, was less present in HIV-infected men on PIs than in HIV-uninfected men. They also found that carotid intima-media thickness appeared greater in men with lower osteoprotegerin levels, suggesting a protective effect. (D'agostino et al; poster H1-1391)
Meanwhile, researchers in Korea found signs that high levels of sRAGE, or soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products, in the blood appeared to have a protective effect against subclinical atherosclerosis. (Jeong et al; poster H1-1393)
Lastly, over in Spain, researchers attempted to use pulse wave velocity measurements to assess cardiovascular risk in HIV-infected people, but found they often didn't agree with what Framingham risk scores would suggest. (Tenorio et al; poster H1-1392)

This module provides the
Lock synchronisation mechanism. It was inspired by
the Python and Java
Lock objects and should behave in a similar way. See:
All functions are exception safe. Throwing asynchronous exceptions will not
compromise the internal state of a
This module is intended to be imported qualified. We suggest importing it like:
import Control.Concurrent.Lock ( Lock ) import qualified Control.Concurrent.Lock as Lock ( ... )
Creating locks
Create a lock in the "locked" state.
Locking and unlocking
acquire :: Lock -> IO ()Source
Acquires the
Lock. Blocks if another thread has acquired the
acquire behaves as follows:
- When the state is "unlocked"
acquirechanges the state to "locked".
- When the state is "locked"
acquireblocks until a call to
releasein another thread wakes the calling thread. Upon awakening it will change the state to "locked".
There are two further important properties of
acquireis single-wakeup. That is, if there are multiple threads blocked on
acquireand the lock is released, only one thread will be woken up. The runtime guarantees that the woken thread completes its
- When multiple threads are blocked on
acquire, they are woken up in FIFO order. This is useful for providing fairness properties of abstractions built using locks. (Note that this differs from the Python implementation where the wake-up order is undefined.)
tryAcquire :: Lock -> IO BoolSource
release :: Lock -> IO ()Source
release changes the state to "unlocked" and returns immediately.
Note that it is an error to release a lock in the "unlocked" state!
If there are any threads blocked on
acquire the thread that first called
acquire will be woken up.
Convenience functions
tryWith :: Lock -> IO α -> IO (Maybe α)Source
A non-blocking
tryWith is a convenience function which first tries to
acquire the lock. If that fails,
Nothing is returned. If it succeeds, the
computation is performed. When the computation terminates, whether normally or
by raising an exception, the lock is released and
Just the result of the
computation is returned.

wait does not alter the state of the lock.

Bilingual Exhibits Research InitiativeFriday, August 17th, 2012 by ExhibitFiles
Nan Renner, Cecilia Garibay, Carlos Plaza, and Steven Yalowitz describe the Bilingual Exhibits Research Initiative, a National Science Foundation Pathways Exploratory Research Project
Does your institution create multilingual exhibits? Do you wonder about how multilingual exhibits may influence engagement and learning?
The Bilingual Exhibits Research Initiative (BERI), NSF DRL#1010666, strives to address professionals' questions and build our collective knowledge related to:
• How informal science institutions create bilingual exhibits;
• How Spanish-speaking and bilingual visitors use bilingual exhibits; and
• How bilingual exhibits can support engagement with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) among Latinos in the US.
Bilingual Exhibits—Professional Practices
The BERI team conducted interviews with professionals at 22 U.S. informal science education (ISE) institutions to document current bilingual exhibit practices.
This effort builds on a survey conducted by ASTC and the Exploratorium in 2011.
Research questions focus on staff knowledge, beliefs, and practices:
• Who is the audience for bilingual exhibits?
• What is the form and content of bilingual exhibits?
• What is the process for creating bilingual exhibits?
• How do visitors interact with bilingual exhibits? (as observed and hypothesized)
Publication of these research results is in progress.
Many institutions believe that providing Spanish text increases engagement among Spanish-speakers, although we have very little information about how visitors actually use bilingual exhibits and the resulting benefits.
ISE professionals' questions about audiences and bilingual exhibits have helped to shape the research agenda with visitors, e.g., Who uses bilingual exhibits, and how? Do bilingual exhibits create visual or mental overload? How much Spanish text is enough? Will bilingual exhibits encourage attendance?
Bilingual Exhibits—Visitor Uses and Benefits
Observations and interviews with Spanish-speaking visitors in social groups will document how visitors use exhibit resources and how they perceive the benefits of bilingual exhibits.
Research questions focus on social activity involving language (speaking and reading):
• How do individuals and groups engage with text in bilingual exhibits?
• What indicators of learning can be observed?
• How do patterns of engagement and learning correspond with exhibit features?
• How do visitors perceive the benefits of bilingual exhibits?
You can participate! Help create an online archive of bilingual exhibits by adding your reviews, case studies, and "bits" to ExhibitFiles. Don't forget to tag your post with "bilingual."
Post a comment! What are your questions, concerns, and conundrums related to bilingual exhibits? What have you learned about creating bilingual exhibits? Are you engaged in cross cultural visitor studies in museums?
Research sites include:
San Diego Natural History Museum, the Miami Science Museum, and two other ISE institutions chosen to represent diversity of content, geographic region, and Latino cultural groups. We began data collection in June 2012 and will complete in fall 2012. This Pathways research project will be completed in June 2013.
This exploratory research, funded by NSF's Division of Research on Learning, will build knowledge about how informal science institutions create bilingual exhibits, how visitors use bilingual exhibits, and how bilingual exhibits may expand access to science learning for Latinos in U.S. science centers and museums.

The slides should be formatted as follows:
- On the background a picture in black and white. A part of the picture can be highlighted in our corporate blue color to strengthen the message
- On the left side a question/statement. On the right side an answer, the name of a service and a logo.
- We prefer pictures of people rather than objects. Young international people. Image style: people on apple ads (tshirts and jeans).
The text on the four slides should be the one displayed on the page: http://www.opinno.com.
Slide 1. Opinno is an open innovation network that brings together entrepreneurs, investors, researchers and ideas in major cities around the world to drive growth, innovation, and change.

Indigenous tribes
The Furbeasts attacked Johanna, but she held them off.
The Dungan and warrior helped their leader against the captain, knocking off 1 HP.
The Emoks on the flyer landed and prepared to scale the wall.
The Shadow of the Red Baron
The ghostly baron steered around for another strafing run...
He gunned down one Inquistadore.
The Red Baron then produced a rather nasty-looking bomb.
The blast spread a ghostly light, but wasn't strong enough to kill more conquistadores.
Beep. The healbots rolled off and got to work.
One was successful.
The other, not so much.
The Wolves zapped the tribesmen attacking their commander. One however missed so badly she hit the First Marshal instead, wounding her.
The Captain became a victim of friendly fire as well, but at least another Furbeast was defeated.
Schwarzenegger fired again, taking the head off a Conquistadore.
On the other side Johanna blasted one of the two remaining shock troopers.
The heroes from last mission then bravely farce-leaped out of the windows, rolling sixes in unison.
Victoria defeated a royal marine, her compatriots were less fortunate.
The freshly healed soldier stayed at the ion cannon controls.
Inquistadore shock troopers
Lt. Kirsten learned the hard way OTC's couldn't be parried. Ouch.
The Assyrian was pushed back, but he miraculously survived. He had no real way to fight back though.
The Royal Marines marched off, keeping a close eye on the windows for targets.
Vinambre started leading his men into the landing area.
Fort Garrison
Alexander dealt another bone-crushing blow which even the ultra-tough Demonidus could not stomach.
Valhalla reclaims one of its sons. Well, what can I say. It just wasn't his day.
It's perhaps just a crappy day for the VoL all-round. The Jaegers finished off two more of them.
One of the Terrorkhan on the tower met the same fate at the end of cold Neo-Prussian steel.
Massive combined fire slew the Einherjar despite negative skillmods (fortifications).
This broke Kommandant Von Blocke free of the mindhack. The Jaegers fired another volley at the foes outside their gates.
"This isn't going so well. Keep them off my back for a while while I try something."
House del Montero
The squad broke formation and charged the command centre, Don Felipe leading the way. He attempted to increase armour, but failed.
The laser maces took a HP off Troll.
Finally the assault troopers made their move. One speared the Grenadier-Miliz.
One rushed into the control room.
Lab specimens
"Vat? Dey are not viring de devense guns? Let me vix dat!"
Much to their dismay, two of the noble knights were blasted to bits as the guns turned on them. A few seconds later, Sir Bragallot noticed he had broken the console he had used to fire them.
Troll repaid one man in kind with the heavy bolter.
Flamer flew to the edge of the battlements and used his altitude to rain down fire on the foes below.
While her lieutenant was burned to death, Angelica took a hit as well. She has a lot of vengeance points to spend by now.
Still need orders for a couple of factions, like the Conquistadores, Immortals, Brittanians and the VoL. When you send orders keep in mind I haven't finished this turn yet (the droids and Basher -the guy with the yellow helmet and the OTC- still need to go). Suffice to say most of the Brittanians will probably die when they make their move. Sorry for that, Falk, I wasn't expecting them to fare so badly. I will probably fix you a reinforcement at one point.

Most eye injuries are minor. Getting soap, sand, or dirt in the eye or under the eyelid are common ways a child's eye can become irritated. Still, some eye injuries can be serious and require immediate medical attention.
Possible signs of a mild eye irritation are:
If a child has signs of a mild eye irritation and you think there's something in the eye, you can flush out the child's eye to try to remove what's in it. Before you start flushing a child's eye, call the parents and ask if it's OK.
Here's what to do once you have the parents' permission:
Possible signs of a severe eye injury are:
If you think the child has a severe eye injury, don't flush or rinse the eye or try touching it. Call 911 immediately and then call the child's parents.
Help prevent eye injuries by keeping chemicals, sharp objects, or other items that could cause serious eye injuries out of the reach of children.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Every girl wants to feel like a princess at their prom, right? Well, one North Carolina teen felt exactly that thanks to a little girl and a magical moment.
Kwani Taylor, 17, was taking photos with her prom date when a little girl approached her.
"We were in Raleigh Rose Garden taking pre-prom pictures when the little girl walked up, her eyes just big and bright," says Tee Taylor, the teen's mother who captured the sweet moment on video.
The little girl, 4-year-old Emory Matthews, had spotted Kwani and her date taking photos and immediately became enamored.
"She saw Kwani and said, 'There's a princess over there,'" the girl's mother, Megan, recalls. "We didn't want to interrupt so we waited until a good moment and she just ran up and was enamored."
It didn't take a moment for Kwani, in a sparkling ball gown, to hop right into character.
"My daughter just bent down and went right into character," Tee said. "She won best actress at her school, she's into drama, it just makes sense for her to step into that role."
Since posting the video to Facebook, the sweet moment has received over 5 million views and over 71,000 shares.
Megan says she is touched that the sweet moment was touching the lives of people across America as well as Kwani and her family.
"It was very impactful to Emory, something that will stay with her forever but to know it meant something to Kwani too is really sweet," Megan says.
"It was very heartwarming for me. My daughter's so compassionate and she just stepped right into character, that's part of her personality," Tee said.
As Emory and her family walked away after meeting the "princess," Emory asked why she was at the rose garden.
"She was at the garden because she was getting ready to go to the ball," Megan responded.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries has people working hard to improve nature areas in Morehouse Parish so that nature lovers can better enjoy the great outdoors.
Recent negotiations with the Nature Conservation were finalized Tuesday, leaving the LDWF the new owners of 247 acres bordering Chemin-a-Haut State Park, according to Sec. of the LDWF Robert Barham.
Barham said the new area will be named the Ben Lilly Conservation Area, and it will be used primarily as a new location for outdoor activities for young hunters and outdoorsman.
"Ben Lilly was the guide for Teddy Roosevelt when Roosevelt hunted the bear in Tensas Swamp in 1907," Barham said. "This will be a place for kids to come and hunt, fish, canoe or just bird watch."
Barham said the LDWF is encouraging children to get out more and take advantage of the wooded areas in Morehouse Parish.
"That's our main focus," he said. "We want to attract the young folks. We want new hunters."
Barham said the new conservation area will border Chemin-a-Haut State Park on the side that is upstream of Bayou Bartholomew. Being on the bayou, they will also build a new boat ramp for canoers and kayakers to launch in the bayou.
Barham also stressed that none of this would be possible without the dedication of one of his assistants.
"Jimmy Anthony, [Assistant Sec. for LDWF], was instrumental in getting this done," he said. "He will be the administrator for this area."
According to Barhanm, construction on the new area will begin this fall.
"We're hoping to start around hunting season," he said. "It's too soon to say when it will be completed, but we're hoping this will give the people in Morehouse Parish a nice place where they can enjoy outdoor activities."

The Badgers began Big Ten Conference play with several okay wins, at home against Penn State and on the road against Nebraska. Alright then, couple of so-so wins. It's nothing to get excited about. It's what happened after the Nebraska that caught everyone's attention. Illinois came into the Kohl Center on January 12th feeling confident and left, well, not so much, losing 74-51. The Badgers went on the road three days later and pulled off perhaps the biggest upset of the college basketball season, defeating preseason number one and currently ranked number two Indiana 49-47. Wisconsin came down to earth in the next two games and I thought that the Badgers had peaked and were on their way down. They proceeded to come home and beat 12th ranked Minnesota on a last second shot.
Some of this has been luck though. Indiana couldn't hit a shot to save their life that night and the Badgers needed to Gophers to have their worst game of the season offensively. But still, a win is a win is a win. The Badgers travel to Columbus tonight to take on Ohio State. How long can the magic last though? Well, let's wait and see, shall we?

Tancredo remains on the ballot
Tom Tancredo and his running mate Patricia Miller are entitled to stay on the ballot as the American Constitution Party's gubernatorial ticket, ruled Denver District Judge William Hood today.
"In short, the fact that Mr. Tancredo and Ms. Miller were long-time registered Republicans until they switched parties, 'at the 11th hour' as Plaintiffs put it, and were then designated by ACP to fill these vacancies is irrelevant," Hood wrote.
"The high-paid Republican lawyers managed to present a case that was weaker than their candidate," Tancredo said in a statement. "Their attempt to impede my candidacy has now failed in the courts as well as on the campaign trail. Now our focus must turn to the liberal mayor of the sanctuary city of Denver."
The ruling comes the same day that Tancredo jumped ahead of Republican Dan Maes in the polls.
