Monsanto announced in mid-November an unusual venture for the company. It formed a new holding company called American Seeds Inc. (ASI) that is designed to support regional seed companies with capital, genetics and technology investments.
At the same time, Monsanto announced that the new ASI had just acquired Channel Bio Corporation, a seed company based in Kentland, IN. Channel includes the seed brands of Crow's Hybrid Corn, Midwest Seed Genetics, and Wilson Seeds. Combined, the three brands hold 2% of the U.S. corn seed market and Monsanto holds 14% with its DeKalb and Asgrow brands, according to Monsanto. ASI purchased Channel with a cash transaction of $120 million.
Kerry Preete, Monsanto's vice president of U.S. crop production, reports that Monsanto developed the holding company concept after talking to seed-licensing customers that need access to capital and technology. ASI is now set up to invest in other seed businesses. "We will keep an eye open for other businesses to see if they fit the model," Preete says.
Don Funk, president of Channel Bio, states that the company looks forward to its new relationship with Monsanto because it locks Channel into a strong position in genomics-based breeding. Channel also will have access to Monsanto's strong capital base. "We like to believe we're a company of vision," Funk states. "We think ASI will help us go to the forefront of the seed industry in North America."
The formation of ASI will not take away from Monsanto's other substantial seed businesses, Preete adds. The company fully intends to continue marketing seed through its DeKalb and Asgrow brands and to continue developing and licensing new traits to other seed partners.

In elementary school in Lafayette, he was "adopted" into the "I Have a Dream" Foundation of Boulder County's second class of low-income students. As he was inducted into that class, he was told that "whatever you can dream, you can do."
"I remember that was the first time in my life that I was told anything was possible," he said. "That started a whole sequence in my life of big dreams."
Now a New York Times best-selling author for his book, "Take the Stairs," and a motivational speaker, he's going to deliver that same message at the annual I Have A Dream luncheon on Thursday.
"If you have big dreams, you need to show up every day and work really hard," he said. "You need to make good choices, have a big vision and work your tail off."
The luncheon, I Have a Dream's biggest fundraiser, will include musical performances, recognition of the 2012 Dakota Solomon Memorial Scholarship award winner and personal testimonials by two "Dreamers."
"We are determined to launch a new Dreamer class and provide them with the long-term, year-round academic support that is our hallmark," said Lori Canova, CEO of the I Have a Dream Foundation of Boulder County.
For each class, a project coordinator, mentors and tutors work with students from elementary school through their high school graduation and into college or vocational school.
Vaden moved to Frederick in sixth-grade after his mom married, but continued to receive encouragement from I Have a Dream and graduated as valedictorian in 2000 from Frederick High School.
He went on to earn a master's degree from the University of Denver. He took second in the world championship for public speaking and started Southwestern Consulting with three other people. Now, his consulting company employs 60 people.
Along with the support of I Have a Dream, he said, he also had the support of his family.
His mom told him, "You will go to college one day and you will get a scholarship."
He credits his successes to his willingness to "take the stairs," or do things that were hard, that other people wouldn't do.
He took "every advanced class that they had" in high school, performed community service, served on student counsel and played on the basketball team.
"I had amazing teachers at Frederick," he said.
While in college, he sold books door-to-door in the summers, knocking on 20,000 doors and dealing with lots of rejection. But her persevered and made about $250,000 over five summers.
"I learned perseverance and determination," he said. "It was something that I realized was different about me. I took pride in doing things that other people didn't like doing. It always paid off."
What: I Have a Dream Foundation's annual luncheon
When: 11:30 a.m. Thursday
Where: Omni Interlocken Resort, 500 Interlocken Blvd., Broomfield

I feel about this the way I felt about Alan Grayson's defeat. On the one hand: Oh yes. On the other hand: Don't you want her to be there when ObamaCare gets repealed?
Personally, I blame Obama's aloofness.
Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of House Minority Leader and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, told Big Government this week that her mother wants to leave Congress–and that she remains in Washington only at the behest of her campaign donors.
During a telephone interview, Ms. Pelosi–speaking from a friend's home in New York City–described her mother's predicament:
She would retire right now, if the donors she has didn't want her to stay so badly. They know she wants to leave, though. They think she's destined for the wilderness. She has very few days left. She's 71, she wants to have a life, she's done. It's obligation, that's all I'm saying.
Pelosi's spokesman denies it, calling it "wishful thinking on the part of a right-wing blog" even though the story's based on a quote from, er, her own daughter. As for the substance of that quote, I'm not sure how to take it. Presumably it means Pelosi's running for re-election … even though her own donors think it's unlikely she'll be Speaker again. Which means what? That she'll serve out one more two-year term as minority leader and then quit? Or that she'll run this year, get re-elected, and then resign if the Democrats aren't back in the majority? Or that she'll decide to retire a few months from now once she has a better sense of how the next Congress will shake out? Eight veteran Dems have already thrown in the towel, you know, so I can't believe Pelosi's still holding out hope of getting the gavel back.
Karl Rove predicted this morning that either she or Reid or both would quit the leadership in 2012. Does he know something? Exit question: Who's Nancy going to get her stock tips from now?

Dive into nature at home in your own, personal paradise. Natural swimming ponds and living pools can be installed almost everywhere, respecting the biosphere and bringing joy to body and soul.
This is how your paradise could look: Spend hours relaxing at the swimming pond, watching as the light gently reflects off the water and all your cares float away in the ripples of the fountain. Ponds like these with a lush 75 square metres of swimming space (top) characterise modern garden architecture and embodying the harmony of quality of life and being in touch with nature. A wall separates the bathing and regeneration areas where plants and microorganisms destroy contamination and excess nutrients. This award-winning garden paradise ("Germany's most beautiful swimming pond") was created and manufactured by Bahl GmbH, just like the living pools near Hamburg (bottom). Living pools, the ideal alternative for people who don't want to share their pool with frogs, offer bathing in crystal-clear water in the perfect symbiosis of biology and technology. While it looks like a classical pool, it's also a fully-fledged biological swimming pond. This is made possible by a filter integrated into the biological and physical water preparation, letting the pool survive without chlorine and any other chemicals. Bahl, a traditional company that has worked on the design, creation and care of luxury private gardens since its beginnings in 1966, offers competence and experience to make gardens – big or small – suiting every individual. Christian Bahl, Managing Director of the family business with a team of 30 people, explains: "A swimming pond looks great the whole year round. It lives and transforms throughout the seasons. Plants, animals and water, the living element, make it a real experience!" And it makes a meaningful contribution to nature conservation. "After a short time, small water animals and valuable water plants move in, finding a new life here…" So – if it's true that gardens are the last traces of the lost paradise – everyone can capture a piece of the Garden of Eden.

This article is a stub. You can help by expanding it
Moved from ADM5120 page
Most modern MIPS SoC supports JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) and MIPS EJTAG 2.6 interfaces.
MIPS EJTAG has two modes, one is "DMA" mode where the JTAG can cause CPU bus cycles directly, the other "PrACC" is where the JTAG interface is used to respond to CPU memory accesses in a special range of memory (0xFF200000) and you have to write little bits of MIPS code to do what you want and emulate that memory on the host side. All systems support PrACC mode by nature. The DMA mode is optional and not as widely supported as the normal mode. The presence of DMA mode is noted in the IMPCODE register.
Edimax BR-6104K, BR-6104KP and clones has 14-pin header JP1 with conventional EJTAG 2.6 layout.
nTRST 1 2 GND TDI 3 4 GND TDO 5 6 GND TMS 7 8 GND TCK 9 10 GND nSRST 11 12 -key DINT 13 14 VCC
DINT pin is not used. nTRST is a "TAP Reset" signal and it's active level is "0" (the first "n" indicates negative logic). nSRST is optional. This signal resets TAP controller independently from the CPU logic. To conform to MIPS EJTAG specifications this pin should be pulled to the ground via resistor ~1KOhm to keep TAP in reset state w/o probe attached. If probe does not control this pin, you need just to feed logical "1" to nTRST pin or pull this to the +VCC via ~300Ohm resistor.
nSRST is a "system reset" signal and acts like conventional "Reset' button. Some routers

(E)JTAG Cables
There is a page at the OpenWrt Wiki that discusses JTAG cables. Specifically, how one Wiggler-style buffered cable can be used for both ADM5120-based routers (e.g. Edimax) and Broadcom-based routers (e.g. Linksys). Most of the discussion centers on difficulties that can arise when using a Wiggler-style cable with the Linksys de-brick utility, but the cable information is applicable to Edimax (ADM5120) devices as well.
EJTAG software
Macraigor OCD Commander is a simple JTAG debugger with MIPS support, OCD Flash programmer DEMO version. Requires Wiggler probe (Wiggler clone).
- http://www.baycom.org/~tom/ejtag/
- http://gdbmipsejtag.sourceforge.net/

- Discussion http://wiki.openwrt.org/zt8qmwz
- Successful debrick experience http://midge.vlad.org.ua/forum/viewtopic.php?t=121
In general, the state of EJTAG software is pretty bad. The openwince jtag software can be used to re-flash, but that project is a shambles. If you dig around enough through the patches and discussions there you can find enough to make it work.

Sounds like Matthew Paris, a grumpy old times columnist, got up on the wrong side of his bed this year. In a satirical column entitled What's smug and deserves to be decapitated? he goes on at some length about how in addition to all the normal atrocities associated with cyclists he's now identified littering as enough to drive him to beheading unsuspecting riders as they zoom past. Some how I think Mr. Paris might be exaggerating a bit, but it's interesting to see anti-cyclist sentiment in the media in London as well as in Seattle.
What's really educational though are the comments (you may have to click the 'read all … comments' link yourself, sorry), almost uniformly pro-cyclist. It's a refreshing change for me to see positive public reaction in the media.

October 14, 2011
Bridgestone Arena – Nashville, TN
The last time these wonderful Christian Artists were in Nashville, I had a prior commitment and was unable to stick around for the show. Tonight, I planned to spend the afternoon and evening with the band and crew.
I meet up with Carter Hassebrook who is the bands FOH Engineer and stage manager. We went to the stage and I grabbed some video b-roll of the mics on stage. Shure UHF-R wireless mics are on all vocals with various capsules for each singer. For their acoustic set, lead singer Mark Hall has been using a Super 55 and loving it. I also grabbed some footage of the drum kit as they are using the new Beta 98AMP's on the toms and the Beta 91A in the kick drum.
As I finished up gathering the b-roll, drummer Brian Scoggin arrived and we got set up to grab a quick interview with him on stage. I was also planning to interview Carter so I decided at the last minute to interview them at the same time, which worked well!
Since every member of the group is also a Youth Minister, they are all very well spoken and know so much about each other. It was a great interview – you can look for that on our YouTube channel at some point. Following the interview, the band soundchecked for about 30-40 minutes. After their soundcheck, everyone usually meets at the front rows of the venue for prayer time. They discuss a bible verse or two then disperse amongst the chairs in the venue to bless them and send their prayers out that the audience will enjoy the show and live in the moment.
Then the openers, Sanctus Real, The Afters, and newcomer Lindsay McCall from Chicago all soundchecked. According to Carter, all three lead vocalists for these groups requested to sing on the UR2/KSM9!
It is always great, during these economic times, to see a full house. People were spending their money on shirts and merchandise. This tour for Casting Crowns is in support of their freshly released CD Come To The Well. Their messages are very powerful and thought provoking. "God doesn't NEED me, he WANTS me."
It is so important that the message reaches the audience with the utmost clarity. Shure microphones are there to help complete that mission.

Johnny Rivers celebrated the opening of the Whiskey a Go Go on the Sunset Strip and his role as the famed club's first resident headliner with a show at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills on Jan. 15. For this special gig, fans came from around the country and around the world and youthful 71-year-old didn't disappoint.
The current owners of the Whiskey are marking the milestone with a month of concerts. However, most of the artists booked at the club are singers who fronted 1980's hair bands such as Stephen Pearcy of Ratt and the 2014 versions of '80's bands such as Faster Pussycat and Jack Russell's Great White. The club owners never bothered to even contact Rivers, so he booked his own party marking the event. Songwriter Jimmy Webb opened.
Rivers was backed by a seven-piece band, many of whom have been with him for years. He also hade five backup singers, four of whom make up the Waters Family, who are featured in the award-winning documentary about session singers, "20 Feet From Stardom."
He delivered a hit-filled set that saw him looking and sounding remarkably as he pretty much always has. Throughout the evening the hits just kept on coming, with his cover of Chuck Berry's "Maybelline," Hank Williams' "Midnight Special," Willie Dixon's "Seventh Son."
A couple of the songs were actually preferable to the recorded versions, including a soft, nearly solo heartfelt delivery of Smokey Robinson's "Tracks of My Tears," that he took to No. 10 in 1967 as well as the only hit he himself penned, "Poor Side of Town," a No. 1 biggie in 1966.
He ended his set with his first hit, Berry's "Memphis," before performing the song that may be his most popular, Steve Barri and P.F. Sloan's spy show theme, "Secret Agent Man." The song featured a sly, noodling intro intended to fool the fans before he shook the walls with its classic deep, gritty opening guitar riff.
Rivers gave the 67-year-old Webb his first big break when he told another of his discoveries, The Fifth Dimension, that he'd like them to record Webb's "Up, Up and Away." The song became the title cut of the vocal group's debut album that contained five Webb compositions, and both album and single went Top 10.
Webb, often gruff of voice and heavy-handed on the ivories, played a charming set punctuated with self-deprecating humor. He kicked off with a powerful melody he wrote and recorded himself in 1977, "The Highwayman," that became both the name of and the first hit for the outlaw country supergroup that included Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings.
He then rolled through his impressive hits he wrote for others, including "Wichita Lineman" and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" for Glen Campbell, "The Worst That Could Happen" for The Brooklyn Bridge, and the up-tempo "Up, Up and Away" that didn't really fit Webb's heavy tunes, before ending with "MacArthur Park," his epic song that became an epic hit for actor-singer Richard Harris in 1968.

Our Hotels in Cusco
Visit the Cradle of the Inca Empire
Cusco is Qosqo, the bellybutton of the world for the Inca Empire. It preserves great cultural and architectonic treasures, including a rich fusion between local tradition and Spanish culture, with its highest expression being the Andean Baroque style. From this center all roads or suyosare born, which are directed towards the cardinal points and connect us with the local nature, culture and art.
Close to Cusco is the Sacred Valley, one of the most beautiful places in Peru, cut across by the Urubamba River. The Valley was the Inca´s pantry, where they got their food, and the place where they did agricultural experiments, as is evidenced in the circular platforms orandenes of Moray. In the Valley we find rich traditions of markets, weavers (the communities of Chahuaytire and Huilloc stand out), feasts and many of Cusco´s most important archeological sites, such as Pisaq, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero. In Ollantaytambo we also find one of the train stations that take us to the greatest Inca treasure, Machu Picchu and its magic forest of clouds.
Another important valley is located southwest from Cusco, on the direction towards Puno. The first 45 kilometers from Cusco run across a group of localities with very marked differences in personalities and characteristic charms. A little after leaving the city, after crossing the Huatanay River, we arrive to Saylla, the capital of the pork chicharron, and Huasao, a well-known town of witches and healers.
The diversity of experiences continues with the Tipon archeological site, the Oropesa locality (where most of the bread consumed in the region is produced) and, maybe the most relevant part of the journey, the "Baroque Route", formed by the beautiful Jesuit churches of Andahuaylillas, Huaro and Canincunca.
Anywhere you go you will find great cultural and historic richness. Sometimes they may be found in lesser-known places that are of great beauty and interest, such as Quillarumiyoc, or the temple dedicated to the moon located near Anchuasi, in the interoceanic road that takes us to Abancay and the coast. To reach this place it is necessary to cross the great Pampas de Anta, home to the largest andenes in Peru, Zurite.
In all of these places, the tourist operators with which we work offer experiences related to nature, adventure, popular art, gastronomy and feasts. You can find information about these places, experiences and much more on the destination blog on our web site. This way, you will be able to discover Cusco in all of its depth, the great archeological capital of America, named by the UNESCO as a World Heritage.

"Like anything else in life, when you are raising money for your fund, it's very much about you as a person," said Leigh Drogen, the co-founder and CEO of Estimize. "People give money to people they trust. They don't give money to statistics or returns or strategies — they give money to people, so personal connections and trust are everything."
Drogen knows a bit about raising capital. Before starting Estimize, he founded Surfview Capital, a New York-based investment management firm, and served as the company's CIO.
"The best way to raise money is to get personally introduced to people from people who trust you," Drogen advised. "This is what allowed [Bernie] Madoff to garner all that capital for so long without telling anyone how he was supposedly making returns, which is a horrible thing."
But there is a silver lining to this situation. "It is also how someone with little history or track record can get started and be successful," said Drogen. "You have to start from somewhere, and the people likely to give you your first shot are the people who trust you."
If you are just starting out, Drogen recommends that aspiring entrepreneurs ask themselves the following questions:
(1) "Have you worked in the industry you are attempting to build a startup in? In finance, it is specifically important to have worked in finance before, just because of the lexicon and you really have to know the landscape. You can't just jump into it like people jump into building a local social mobile app. It's completely different."
(2) "Have you worked at a startup before at all? You need to have that experience before you start your own business. There are so many mistakes that you'll make if you haven't had that experience before. It's like trying to go to the moon without ever being in a simulator. You just don't want to do it."
(3) "Do you have a co-founder who has either of those qualities as well? That is extremely important. You cannot do this on your own. You need that co-founder there, whether you're the technical guy and he's the business guy or vice versa, it is just absolutely necessary."
Drogen said that based on base rate statistics of failure and success in people building startups, those are the most important things to consider. "I don't even tell them if I think their idea is good or not," he said. "A lot of the time that isn't what matters. Who am I to say that their idea is good or not? Who is anybody?"

Singapore GP 2011
Saturday Press Conference
1 - Sebastian VETTEL (Red Bull)
2 - Mark WEBBER (Red Bull)
3 - Jenson BUTTON (McLaren)
Q: Sebastian: a fantastic performance and another pole position, your 11th of the season. How was it from where you were sitting?
Sebastian VETTEL: The circuit ramped up in the end a little bit. I think it was possible to go faster but, all in all, a perfect session and I am very happy, especially around here as it is a fun track. A big challenge. It is very difficult. So many corners. Such a long lap to get everything together, but I think we learned especially from the mistakes we did last year in qualifying and kept our heads cool and did it today. It is great. We have both cars on the front row. Let's see tomorrow. It is a very, very long race.
Q: Mark, almost a grandstand finish from yourself. You were within touching distance of Seb for two-thirds of your final qualifying lap so is this smiles for a front-row start or a frown for a pole that got away.
Mark WEBBER: No, I think I am pretty happy to be honest. It has been a pretty testing venue for me in the past, particularly on Saturdays. In the races I normally go a bit better around here. Seb obviously laid it down pretty hard and fast for all of us. He is very quick around here and did a great job for the pole. I think it is pretty rare that he makes a mistake. I think maybe he saw my data and there were a few corners I was a little bit quicker and maybe in the chicane he was trying to put it altogether and get it altogether. But he was very quick for the whole lap. To put it altogether for the whole lap is very challenging for all of us here. It is very easy to grab a bit more and then lose a bit on the next straight so overall satisfied given the curve balls the teams can face around here. Both cars up there is a great result for us.
Q: Jenson, you hooked it up enough by five one-thousands-of-a-second to leapfrog Lewis Hamilton. He sat in the garage while you were out doing a final qualifying run. He saved a set of tyres. You start ahead of him. What's more important?
Jenson BUTTON: I don't know really. I haven't really thought about it. All I know is that for me the lap was good. Both my laps. If I had put both of them together it would have been good but it is very difficult around here as you struggle to get all three sectors together because either the tyres aren't warm enough at the start of the lap or they are overheating at the end. Or maybe that is just our problem. It is very, very tricky and something I have been fighting all day. Obviously I didn't get much running yesterday after facing a barrier at the end of the session yesterday, so I am pleased to be in the top three. It is a good position for the race tomorrow but it is also something I have no experience of, as I didn't do any high-fuel running, so it is going to be a challenge.
Q: Sebastian, that is 11 pole positions this season so far. Nigel Mansell has the record with 14 in a season. Are you thinking about beating that record yet?
Vettel: No, I think it was pretty exceptional. I think it was 1992 Nigel had that incredible year. We are not doing too bad this year, but I think it is wrong to start thinking about those things. We have got a long race ahead of us tomorrow. That's where we usually score points, not in qualifying, so the focus is on the race tomorrow. But I think it shows that really every single race is another step for us and we try to focus on the moment. I think it is the most important. To get all out every single time sounds easy. We have to keep on doing what we are doing, but it is not so easy to do it every weekend. As I said tomorrow is the race and that's where the focus is. I still believe that Nigel's record is exceptional.
Q: Sebastian, tell us about the lap and the satisfaction of being on pole here. I can imagine this is almost more satisfaction than any other circuit.
Vettel: Yeah, it is in a way. I think it is an exceptional track for us. Either you like it or you hate it. I think the secret is maybe a bit of both. It is a very long track. A lot of corners. Just 23 corners as a number is already incredible compared to some tracks. The last race we had 11, so it is double the amount of corners and it's a long lap. The speed is fairly low which is what you expect on a street circuit. Stop and go really but it is so difficult, so challenging to put it altogether as every single corner you try to get the best out of the car, out of the tyres and then it is give and take. You try to take a little bit more out of the car and then and then you have to sacrifice for the next corner for maybe the next straight and so on so a lot of thinking going on and difficult if you really operate the car on the limit to get it close to 100 per cent every corner. It really matches with the next corner and the next corner. That's why I think the satisfaction generally you get when you cross the line here is big, when you know it has been a good lap and the other way around if it wasn't and you give yourself quite some grief. You know that you could have done so much better as it is so easy to lose time and not just a couple of hundredths. It is immediately within a couple of tenths that you lose so it's a nice challenge.
Q: And then you have got to do 61 laps of it tomorrow?
Vettel: Yes, it is going to be long. The race is always around two hours here. It is the longest we have, so on top of it they switch off the lights, as the sun is down. Switch on the lights of course. It is a night race, very humid and I think we all lose quite a lot of water. A lot of sweating and it will be a difficult one.
Q: You said yesterday that you needed a good step overnight. So how much was done and how much did you have to change?
Vettel: Well, the target is always to improve the car overnight. I was fairly happy with the car yesterday and we didn't do that much. I think the steps we did were a step forward. Not massive but probably what we needed to keep that cushion, so all in all I was very happy on the prime tyre and the soft tyre as well. This morning was a bit scrappy as I had a lot of traffic and didn't get the lap together but this afternoon the first run on option was a confirmation that also on the super soft tyres we can do it so reasonably confident for tomorrow. As I said it is going to be a long race and it is not just about speed, it is also about control, managing the tyres. At this stage I think it is a bit unclear what is the fastest way but we will find out tomorrow.
Q: Mark, your best grid position here and similarly you said you needed more pace.
Webber: Yes, overnight we made a pretty good step. But most of it was from me to be honest. It is a very, very challenging venue. Not one I would pick to come to every week, but it's my job to deliver on all the tracks we go to. It is one of my best sessions on a Saturday here to be honest, not only in terms of position but also getting a pretty good run out of the car. I am a few tenths off Seb, three-and-a-half or whatever it is. In the end Seb did a great job for pole and my lap wasn't too bad at all, so it has put us in a good position for the race. I certainly was happy with a front-row start going into qualifying. It is so easy to screw the lap up here and, as Seb said, you have got such a long way to chat to yourself when you make a mistake. So to pull it altogether and as you can see all of us are improving every single time so we are learning more and more knowledge every single time we put the car on the limit so it is a challenging afternoon for all of us and very rewarding. At this level, all of us pushing each other very hard is good stuff.
Q: And for the race tomorrow how difficult is the strategy?
Webber: There are a few balls in the air for sure. We aren't overly sure how constant the tyres are going to be. For sure they are going to drop off but we don't now when. It is like most races to be honest. In these sort of conditions we saw in Valencia, in Budapest, a few races - obviously Budapest was wet at the start. With the exception of I suppose Monza and some of the other races where the tyres, like in Spa, you see they are going to be pretty stable. Here we have had a decent build up on Friday. Long runs. Most teams had a good look at it, but let's see. There are two compounds that are definitely going to be used tomorrow to their extreme.
Q: And you are going to be starting on the soft compounds. That is going to be a challenge as well?
Webber: Yeah, everyone I think around me is as well. That's what we've got. We can't make a pit stop overnight. Same for everyone.
Q: Jenson, given the weekend, given your comments about tyres, a bit of a surprise to be listening there?
Button: I think last night I didn't expect to be here. I didn't run the super soft tyre yesterday as obviously I was facing the wall half-way through P2 or even earlier than that. We made a lot of changes overnight and quite a lot of improvements. The pace has been good all day. I found it a little bit difficult in qualifying to really get the tyres working for a whole lap. If I had them working in the first sector they were going off by the third sector. I don't know if these guys had the same problem but we had to do a reasonably slow out lap and I think the last lap I got a bit excited and pushed maybe a little bit too hard on the first sector. The last sector, the rears had gone off quite a bit. But still got third, so I am happy to be in the top three and it is the clean side of the circuit. Good position but the worry for tomorrow is that I haven't driven on high-fuel so I don't know how that's going to feel but I'm sure we'll make the best of it.
Q: And you actually said yesterday 'not a great set-up' but also complaining of the tyres overheating. Have you solved that?
Button: From the comments that I've just made, not over one lap but hopefully on a long run. I haven't run with high fuel yet. Obviously the race is pretty tough on the tyres here, there's a lot of sliding, so you do get a lot of surface temperature on the tyres, so you've got to be careful of that. But we know it's not going to be easy and I think you can see the performance of cars really shows up here, and the gaps between teams is massive, if you head back to the cars that are starting outside the top ten. I think it's easier the more downforce you've got because the less sliding you have, and the less tyre temp you've got, so it's pretty simple really. And we're a little bit behind these guys.
Q: How much of a shock is it going to be when you run on full fuel for the first time?
Button: I've done it before. I'll get used to it pretty quickly. I'm old now, I've been here for ages. I'll be fine.
Q: (Mathias Brunner - Speedweek) Mark, the changes on the kerbs, were those satisfactory solutions for the drivers?
Webber: Yep. Yeah, absolutely. I think they did the best job they could. Obviously it was a new situation from previous years. The kerbs started to lift up, unfortunately we learnt that at a bad time before P1 yesterday so I think they've stuck them down as hard as they can, the ones they've decided to keep down there, really super-glued them to the track as much as possible. Charlie (Whiting) says it may be difficult for them to get them back up but in terms of line, the track is fine.
Q:= (Heikki Kulta - Turun Sanomat) Sebastian, you had pole in Monaco, Valencia and now here; does that mean you are also a street circuit specialist?
Vettel: I don't know. The race is tomorrow so today was a little step. As I said, it's going to be a long race, obviously it's good to be on the front row, on the clean side, for the first time in the last three years, so I'm looking forward to that and yeah, the way down to the first corner is not that long but I still need a good start and then we go from there. It's a long race but I've always liked street circuits and I think it gives the driver a little bit more opportunity to maybe explore the limits here and there a bit more but especially around here it's different to Monaco and especially to Valencia. They are all pretty different to each other but all good fun.
Q: (Michael Schmidt - Auto, Motor und Sport) Jenson, the Red Bulls murdered everyone else in the last sector in all the sessions, and when you look at the sector it's six or seven 90-degree corners, which is not that much different to the other sectors and just one fast corner. Is it just the one fast corner where you lose out?
Button: I don't know. Our middle sector - or my middle sector - was very good, so to try and understand is very difficult. I think some of it is because our tyres are not staying in as well as these guys' - the rears - and some of it is also the high-speed corner. Red Bulls are always very strong at high speed and these guys are very quick, obviously in high speed as well. They have the advantage there but I think it is also because they have more rear grip in the last sector, their tyres are staying strong all the way through the lap. We struggle with that a little bit more. We've definitely improved the consistency today, hopefully that will show up tomorrow in the race.
Q: (Kate Walker - Girl Racer) Given that 'the show' has been a bit of a buzzword in F1 over the last few years, people are complaining about the lack of running that we've seen from some teams - obviously not any of you - in Q3. How do you feel about proposals that the FIA implement automatic grid-drop penalties for those who chose not to run in any qualifying session?
Vettel: I don't know. I think the last three cars didn't run, as far as I saw. Obviously for those guys the main challenge is getting to Q3 and by the time they find themselves in Q3 they haven't got much tyres left so I think that's the real problem. I think that generally if we had more tyres across the weekend, we would run more. It's the same on Friday, in a way. Time is limited as well. I don't know. I think we've had these rules for quite a while now. Obviously we might have the occasional race like here where people decide not to run because they want to save their tyres for the race, but I don't think it's the case every Saturday.
Webber: Yeah, the show, which you spoke about, is generally for the teams on Sunday, so they want to save their tyres. Basically, if we were all flush with tyres, the guys would be out there and getting the experience, getting the laps in, having exposure for their own partners as well. It's not just that they just don't want to be in the garage because they haven't got any fuel; it's because they are doing it for a reason, for Sunday. I think the question is completely fair but I think the penalty is not... it's not fair to penalise people who are looking to try to have a good performance on Sunday.
Button: Yup. Totally agree. You can't penalise people for not running unless there's a regulation change. Until there's a regulation change it's always going to be like this, especially on a street circuit, and I think you will never see the quick cars doing it. The top six cars are always going to fight it out for P1 but it's the cars, as Mark said, that have just got into Q3. It probably pays to save tyres for the race, as we've seen on many occasions this year. A few guys have come from halfway down the field or even further back with all fresh sets of tyres. Mark did it in China, I've done it before and Michael's done it before. It's the way the regulations are and we're going to try everything we can to do the best we can on a Sunday afternoon - or evening.
Q: (Stephane Barbe - L'Equipe) Jenson, perhaps I am wrong, but it seems like third position this year is not such a bad position on the grid for the start. It seems like pole position is not so important as it was in the past.
Button: I think throughout the season... yes, I agree. If you get a good start and you're within touching distance of first place, I think you can have a good race, so yes, my qualifying has not been as good as I would have hoped for this season, but I've still got some very good results. Even when I do qualify well, we seem to have a few little issues but being P3 here is a great place to start. As I said before, it's on the clean side but it is also a short distance to turn one. But on average, our starts have been very good so I hope to have a good one tomorrow.
Q:(Joris Fioriti - Agence France Presse) Mark and Jenson, the fact that you're second and third gives us some hope that Sebastian is not going to take the title tomorrow. Is it of your concern to try to push him as far as possible in the championship, to Japan and Korea, or are you just trying to have the best performance possible, knowing that he's going to win the title anyway?
Button: I think that even if he doesn't start the next six races it's still going to be pretty difficult for us to beat him. When the lights go out, you don't think about the championship, when you're 100-plus points back. You go for a win, and that's exactly what I'm going to try and do tomorrow.
Webber: Yup. The same, mate. The championship is... for all the great work Seb did at the start of the year, this is the situation we're in. We know the championship's been pretty boring for that reason but the racing has been awesome, the racing this year has been great and I think we're going to have some great races before the year's out. Tomorrow will hopefully be another good one and I'm planning to go forward if I can at some stage in the race, which is one more position, so got to keep him honest as long as we can.

U.C's community came together. Both Regents Road Bridge advocates and opponents joined others marching up and down in front of the Governor Drive library. Drivers gave a thumbs-up and honked their horns in support. District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner joined the march. People trudged downtown to attend City Council meetings to speak out against the proposed closure. Locals carried signs in protest, and City Hall got the message "loud and clear." No closure would occur, but hours were slashed.
Turn the calendar a few years later.
On April 20, a new mayor with a new agenda joined Lightner to deliver a proclamation from the city honoring the 40th anniversary of the University Community Library. Mayor Bob Filner cut the first piece of cake and schmoozed with the members of the crowd, who applauded the event. He pointed out the new computers that were installed, with more to come.
Everyone knows that a head librarian makes a big difference. Sharon Thomerson runs this library and has turned it into a successful community center with people waiting in line to get inside almost every day. She has developed a series of lectures and musicals in the community room that draw a large crowd. This vibrant lady has activities for all ages. Hopefully, City Hall will continue to add more hours and revisit expansion for the families who love to take their children to the library.
What is a community without a library? How could anyone close a library? A closed library would attract new homeowners, that's for sure. Helen Liebowitz, president of Friends of the Library in U.C., was mistress of ceremonies for the event. The Friends of the Library have raised funds for new furniture and new computers. Helen introduced Lightner, who spoke about the history of this library that was born in a storefront in the Marketplace Shopping Centere at the other end of Governor Drive. This tiny library served the community from 1973 to 1978 until the new library was built. This writer remembers reading to toddlers in the tiny storefront next to the then-popular University City pharmacy. The opening of a real library was a joyful event in 1978.
UC residents have a library expansion on their wish list, if the city can nudge Carl's Jr. off the corner next to the library. Food for the mind has no junk food calories, and a larger library would provide more of the good stuff for future families. In the meantime, it was all smiles as library advocates of all ages enjoyed this special 40th anniversary celebration.

A genetic slicing and dicing technique that greatly reduces the amount of toxic gossypol in cottonseed may be a solution to a problem that has plagued the cotton industry for decades: how to get more use from the seed without compromising the plant's ability to fend off insects.
Keerti Rathore, a plant biotechnologist at the Institute for Plant Genomics and Biotechnology at Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, College Station, utilized a gene suppression technique that slashes gossypol levels in cotton seed but allows it to remain in leaves and other parts of the plant to help deter pests.
While cottonseed meal is widely used in cattle and dairy rations — animals with multiple stomachs have the ability to detoxify gossypol — its use for swine, poultry, and other animals has been limited because of the toxin. Ditto for humans: ingesting gossypol can cause heart and liver problems and has been shown to suppress sperm production in males (both human and livestock).
Nearly 45 million metric tons of cottonseed is produced worldwide each year; about 22 percent of that is very high quality protein. Eliminating gossypol to increase cottonseed utilization for both animal and human nutrition has long been something of a holy grail for researchers.
"The potential for gossypol-free cottonseed is huge," one researcher said a few years ago. "If we could get rid of gossypol, we could increase by 30 percent the amount of cottonseed that could be fed to cows, and it would also open up the market for hogs and other animals that can't handle gossypol at all."
In the 1950s and 1960s, scientists succeeded in breeding cotton varieties with no gossypol glands, but that left the plants susceptible to insects and the varieties were a commercial flop. And while Texas A&M University's novelty TAMUnuts snack food made from gossypol-free cotton seeds wasn't a rousing hit either, it is estimated that 500 million people worldwide could benefit from cottonseed's high protein content.
Rathore and his team used a powerful gene-silencing mechanism to suppress the gossypol gene in cotton seed while leaving it intact elsewhere in the plant.
The Ribonucleic Acid Interference technology discovered by U.S.-based scientists Andrew Fire and Craig Mello (for which they shared a Nobel Prize this year), has been used mostly in medical research to arrest the development of cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
"This is so overwhelming, my phone has been ringing off the wall," Rathore said. "While we've been conducting the basics of this research for some time, Cotton Incorporated funding has allowed us to continue it, and we hope to move forward with more research with their continued funding."
Roy Cantrell, vice president of research for Cotton Incorporated, said the organization, funded primarily through producer check-off contributions, has sponsored "a great deal" of gossypol research that has led to this success. "Because of this research, new food and feedstuffs markets will be open for cotton," he says. "We're excited for cotton producers across the U.S., because this could eventually increase the value of their cottonseed by opening new and varied food and feed markets."

Back to the sewing machine we go to finish off the curtains for the new nursery! Check out Part 1 here for an intro to the project and the first steps in sewing lined drapery panels.
Just before the weekend we left off at Step 6, where the lining is initially pinned to the top hem of the drapery fabric in preparation for sewing the two panels together.
I followed Janell's tutorial carefully (I'm quite the sewing novice) and if you're searching for in-depth directions on how to accomplish lining curtains, I recommend hopping on over to check it out.
Step 7: Sew along the newly pinned top hem of the drapes and flip fabric over. Press newly connected fabric + lining.
Step 8: The process of sewing the lining to the sides of the curtain fabric is a bit tricky. In fact it took me quite a few 'trial' attempts (with pins rather than the machine) to figure out the best way to handle this inside-out-contorted-fabric conundrum.
The goal is to hide the thread lines into the side hems and to do this you must pin the fabric accurately, turn the panel inside out and then sew. For the pinning of the lining to the panel to be intuitive to me, I began by casually pinning the lining to the fabric and turning inside out to check out how well it lined up (the first few times resulted in bunched or waved fabric across the panel so I definitely recommend playing with the pinning before you make your stitches permanent with the machine).
The above image shows how the lining will 'fit' into the top and side hems of the curtain. To get that lining underneath the overlapping curtain hem, you must pin the curtain inside out. But use the casual above pinning as a guide to show you were to pin when the fabric is inside out.
You can see in the next image that the fabric was pinned with the edge of the lining to the edge of the curtain fabric and then flipped inside out. I'm showing the pinning (which is hidden when it's inside out) to demonstrate how these two fabrics connect edge to edge (when you flip it right side out, the large side hems will come back!).
Step 9: Using the pins as your guide, sew your side panels together. Since both sides need to be sewn top to bottom (if one is sewn bottom to top you'll end up with wavy fabric – I know it's awkward though), one side should be fairly easy:
And the other will be much more difficult (is there any easier way to do the opposite side without stuffing your entire drapery panel into your machine?):
Step 10: Press out all of your hems and admire your work!
I should have a full curtain shot here to show you the result :(. Even though most of the side panel areas turned out clean and smooth, there was the occasional pucker and error:
I've learned plenty of lessons during round 1 – next time I have a better idea of how to correct these little errors. But a little hand sewing will fix most of these buckles in a cinch.
I'm pressing everything out now and hanging the curtain rods! The new lined panels will be up very soon. Woohoo!

Kentucky transfer Kyle Wiltjer is likely headed to Gonzaga, SNY.tv's Adam Zagoria reported, and Wiltjer's friendship with Kevin Pangos may be responsible for that.
Wiltjer and Pangos were on a Canadian National Team trip to China together recently, and Pangos said Wiltjer was taking about a possible transfer then.
"I told him obviously I would love to have him at Gonzaga if he chose to leave Kentucky, but I'm not gonna pressure him too much," Wiltjer told SNY.tv. "He's my friend and whatever decision he makes, he has to live with."
Pangos said Wiltjer would be a player that Gonzaga would be able to build around. If Wiltjer does transfer to Gonzaga, however, he would have to sit out the 2013-14 season because of transfer rules. ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman said Wiltjer was visiting Gonzaga on Wednesday and Thursday.
"For me to be able to play with him for one year at least, it would be great and I think we could do something special," Pangos said.
Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy says in order for Wiltjer to do the most amount of good for himself, he needs to become a more physically dominant player, and that means changing his body.

In exercises 2.59 and 2.60 we looked at how to represent sets as unordered lists. In the next two we'll look at representing sets as ordered lists, and at what benefits we get from the new implementation.
First, if elements in a set are guaranteed to be in order, we can improve the performance of
element-of-set by returning false as soon as we encounter an element of the set that's less than the value that we're looking for. All of the remaining elements are guaranteed to be smaller as well. This saves us on average half the number of comparisons from the previous implementation.
(define (element-of-set? x set) (cond ((null? set) false) ((= x (car set)) true) ((< x (car set)) false) (else (element-of-set? x (cdr set)))))We get a more impressive improvement from
intersection-set. In the old implementation using unordered lists we had to compare every element of each set to every element in the other set. This had a complexity of $O(n^2)$. With the elements of both sets in order we can reduce that all the way down to $O(n)$. This is possible due to the fact that if the car of one ordered set is smaller than the car of another ordered set, it has to be smaller than all the other elements and we can discard it right away.
(define (intersection-set set1 set2) (if (or (null? set1) (null? set2)) '() (let ((x1 (car set1)) (x2 (car set2))) (cond ((= x1 x2) (cons x1 (intersection-set (cdr set1) (cdr set2)))) ((< x1 x2) (intersection-set (cdr set1) set2)) ((< x2 x1) (intersection-set set1 (cdr set2)))))))Exercise 2.61 asks us to give an implementation of
adjoin-set using the ordered representation. Like
element-of-set?, our implementation of
adjoin-set should require only half as many steps on average as the unordered representation.
The original implementation of
adjoin-set made use of
element-of-set? to check and see if the new element was already a member of the set. We no longer need to do this since we need to find the exact position in the set to insert the new element. As we scan through the set looking for the right position, we can simply return the set if we encounter the element we're trying to place.
(define (adjoin-set x set) (cond ((null? set) (cons x '())) ((= x (car set)) set) ((< x (car set)) (cons x set)) ((> x (car set)) (cons (car set) (adjoin-set x (cdr set))))))There are several different conditions, and we need to cover them all. First, since we're no longer using
element-of-set, we need to check to see if the set itself is null or empty. Second, if the we encounter the element we're trying to add, we can just return the set. Next, if the element we're adding is smaller than the first element of the set, we can simply
cons the new element to the beginning of the set. Last, if the new element is greater than the first element of the set, we join the first element followed by the
adjoin-set of the new element and the rest of the set.
> (adjoin-set 3 null) (3) > (adjoin-set 3 '()) (3) > (adjoin-set 3 '(3 4 5)) (3 4 5) > (adjoin-set 3 '(4 5 6)) (3 4 5 6) > (adjoin-set 3 '(1 2 4 5)) (1 2 3 4 5) > (adjoin-set 3 '(0 1 2)) (0 1 2 3)Like
element-of-set?, this implementation should only scan through half the set on average before finding the correct insertion point for the new element.
Exercise 2.62 asks us to give a $O(n)$ implementation of
union-set for sets represented as ordered lists. Since the two sets are in order, we can simply step through each set comparing the first elements of each. At each step we decide which of the first two elements to place in the resulting set.
(define (union-set set1 set2) (cond ((null? set1) set2) ((null? set2) set1) ((= (car set1) (car set2)) (cons (car set1) (union-set (cdr set1) (cdr set2)))) ((< (car set1) (car set2)) (cons (car set1) (union-set (cdr set1) set2))) (else (cons (car set2) (union-set set1 (cdr set2))))))Anyone familiar with the mergesort algorithm will quickly recognize that this implementation of
union-set is almost exactly the same procedure as the merge subroutine. It's purpose is to quickly merge two sorted lists into one. The only difference is that the
union-set implementation above only keeps one copy of duplicate elements.
> (define odds '(1 3 5 7)) > (define evens '(2 4 6 8)) > (define primes '(2 3 5 7)) > (union-set odds evens) (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8) > (union-set odds primes) (1 2 3 5 7) > (union-set evens primes) (2 3 4 5 6 7 8)

What do you do with a painful knee and limited patience? I'm suppose to rest, but I didn't hear that ... maybe it was a whisper in my ear. While I am progressing each day after my surgery, it is slower than I anticipated. After all, I consider myself a SuperWoman, or is that SuperGenealogist?
For almost a week I have hobbled around with and without the walker, going from my recliner, laptop and TV to the computer/genealogy room. I have now achieved the ability of taking my walker outside to the mail box. This morning I decided to wheel two houses to the west, turn around in their drive way and wheel back home. Before I got back to my house, a nurse at the rest home complex across the street, was watching me. I suspect she thought I had escaped.
I am anxious to return the walker to my genealogy friends who generously loaned it to me. My granddaughter's 11th birthday party is tomorrow evening at the bowling alley. She wants me to come, but not with the walker. That makes me feel good as she doesn't want her friends to think her granny has suddenly gotten old and decrepit. The walker can be useful, though. It's great for transporting items from room to room, such as my bagel and tea in the morning and books and magazines when I change locations.
On the plus side, I have read through numerous genealogy periodicals that have piled up. I bet I'm not the only one who accumulates them in stacks. I have been reading messages and leaving messages on GenealogyWise. The FGS Conference blog is keeping me entertained and green with envy that I'm not at the conference in Little Rock, Arkansas. I am also dreaming of the day when I can walk around the block and also go to cemeteries. All in time! It's been a long summer!
You Go Girl #1 ... Ruby
P.S. You Go Girl #2's hubby, "Go Hubby," called me yesterday. They are still in the mountain wilderness in Wyoming. He drove to where he could get a cell signal to make sure I am okay. Isn't that special of him? He said #2 was alone in camp with the dog and her genealogy. So far they haven't turned into bear bait!

alt: okay... PBS.com Season 9 Episode 12
Selma: I am going to take the high road and say obviously Republicans think he is the best man for the job
alt: dunno VeenGA bout brother Cain.... guess he is this years Alan Keyes... GOP's gotta have one brother to throw out there LOL
VeenGA: I be toggling self tween puters and Noontime news
alt: Selma and the 'high road' hmmmmmmm LOL LOL question... what did y'all do to 3rd? I see he posts to the Forums, but doesn't come to Chat. Hello HistoryBuff
Daviss: Hello HistoryBuff
Selma: Afternoon Historybuff...
VeenGA: HistoryBuff howdy doody
Selma: Don't have a clue alt..figured it was you and daviss
alt: guess I'll say Hello to him... Hi 3rdthawkins... cause I'd bet he reads the chat logs LOL LOL
Daviss: I am innocent Selma!
HistoryBuff: Hey 3rd, What's shakin'?
VeenGA: Funny bout his last post. Preaching to an expert Crystal Simmons
Selma: Alt..are you researching War of 1812...Prologue Magazine has an article..
alt: okay Selma wrote that down... thanks for the heads-up
VeenGA: HistoryBuff I did not see 3rd
alt: I'll try and google the article
HistoryBuff: I didn't either I was just greeting him in absentia. Have you all ever heard of an ex-slave badge or association?
Selma: Not sure what you mean Historybuff? There were Ex Slave Associations which formed trying to get reparations..
HistoryBuff: Yes, Selma that's it. I just encountered this information today on a humble while searching for Dr. Mary Frances Berry's history publications.
Selma: Yes, her book My Face is Black its True..is very good
alt: the former Randolph Slave group formed an association for their descendants HistoryBuff... for trying to get the land back that was stolen from them in Ohio. only slave assoc. I've heard of.
Selma: Walter Hill (now deceased) who was at the National Archives did a presentation in the 1990's at an AAHGS Conference I tried to see if I could locate some organizations here in VA..but couldn't..then about 5 or 6 years ago
HistoryBuff: I plan to read it. Yes I just printed out his article. I encountered this link: http://tinyurl.com/3wqlyx4
Selma: the Library of VA found a Charter for one group that was in Isle of Wight VA..named the officers.. There were groups all over..had different names..some ended up as scams I posted somewhere on Afrigeneas
alt: and it was said our folks were 'docile' ain't true they fought long and hard for their 'props' from their/our early history in this country.
Selma: There have been at least 2 articles in Prologue about these groups..one was done by Walter Hill many years ago..and one more recently They started in the late 1800's There are suppose to be letters at the National Archives written by folks who joined these groups..and were looking for their money
alt: I guess the fight for reparations, in some form, ain't too new.
HistoryBuff: You are referring to the National Ex-Slave Mutual Relief Bounty and Pension Association of the U.S.A.?
Selma: Yes
HistoryBuff: Okay. I knew there were other Relief Associations for Slave refugees, contraband and freedman. Didn't know about reparations prior to the Marcus Garvey movement. Selma, I did see the Walter Hill article printed in the Negro History Bulletin(1996)
Selma: I am pretty sure that he did one for Prologue..the more recent one was done by a woman
HistoryBuff: I guess I was linked to it in reference to compensation for former slaves of Confederate territory.
Selma: Read Dr. Berry's book will give you the details and good overview of the movement.
HistoryBuff: Sounds good Selma. I'm going to have to step away. If I don't return, everyone have a great day.
Daviss: U2 history
HistoryBuff: Thnx
Daviss: I see I am learning also
alt: me too Daviss
Daviss: I wont complain about what I coulda shouda done but I sure missed out on a lot
alt: me too Daviss
Daviss: focus was somewhere else I guess
alt: me too Daviss
Daviss: now i love history lol'
alt: me too Daviss
Selma: LOL
Daviss: selma did you start out liking this at a young age
alt: me too Daviss
Selma: I always like history...
alt: me too Selma
Selma: But didn't see how I/we fit in the whole picture...now I understand
Daviss: History at all my schools consisted of Davy Crockett, Clara Barton and those characters I know now that it should have been up to me to venture out further
Selma: Hey..you were to busy wearing your "poodle skirt"
Daviss: lol lol lol
alt: well y'all. let me skedaddle someone wants to go to the Casino this afternoon. LOL LOL
Daviss: have fun alt and win win win
Selma: wow.. Yes, win, win, win Think I will go nap, nap,nap
alt: I wish y'all... can't learn any history there, but sho can have fun LOL LOL
Daviss: lol ok go nap nap and I will cut the lights out here selma
Selma: It is warm and muggy here..I wish the cooler weather would return
Daviss: 99 here for the next 3 days
Selma: We have the low 80's...enough already You back seventies..I was going to take nap
Seventies Soulchild: Hey I'm back....
Daviss: did you get the floors done
Seventies Soulchild: LOL Selma!
VeenGA: lottsa napping selma
Selma: 2 chores I need to do too seventies...I need a maid
VeenGA: Y'all be good
Daviss: so now you should be glad you took the xtra day off seventies
Seventies Soulchild: I knew that this would happen.
Selma: Time for me to run folks..have a great day
Seventies Soulchild: Just enough time not to be annoyed by my family... lol I don't think they like me anymore... lol
Daviss: lol seventies
Seventies Soulchild: I try to keep in balanced. :}
Daviss: they "lubs" you seventies
Seventies Soulchild: Sometimes TOO much! LOL
Daviss: lol
Seventies Soulchild: I forgot I needed to get my eyebrows done... shoot
Daviss: :?
Seventies Soulchild: Maybe I can sneak out and back in after the boys come home from school.
Daviss: why cant you go before they come home
Seventies Soulchild: I got a good giggle. I was looking at a photo of myself from 1992. I could see my chest bone! lol lol lol
Daviss: lol
Seventies Soulchild: THey'll be home in about 45 mins
Daviss: dang what time is school out?
Seventies Soulchild: By the time I get down there and back here who knows how long it'll be. I may have to wait. 1:50 I wish that it were over at 3:00 like when they were in middle school
Daviss: sheesh
Seventies Soulchild: These kids need all the school day they can get.
Daviss: HS here is over around 3 30
Seventies Soulchild: I'm moving to Phoenix! lol
Daviss: middle school 3: 08
Seventies Soulchild: But see this is when the kids can get in trouble. between 2 and 3 when parent's aren't home. I don't get in until almost 5
Daviss: right
Seventies Soulchild: So I got them cell phones to check on them anytime I want to. But of course they think otherwise. lol
Daviss: Does their dad live in the same city
Seventies Soulchild: No he lives in Baltimore, MD
Daviss: so no checking there lol
Seventies Soulchild: H3ll their dad probl He needs more checking on than they do...
Daviss: but I am sure they are good boys... I went through that with mine
Seventies Soulchild: Yes they are good, but I want them to be super. :}
Daviss: they will be
Seventies Soulchild: I'm sending them far away from here for schooling. Non-negotiable.
Daviss: college
Seventies Soulchild: yes Wish I could send them now.
Daviss: lol good luck with that
Seventies Soulchild: Every mama's got to have a hustle to get what they want... lol OK I think the toilet is sufficently marinated with lysol toilet bowl cleaner.. :} Talk to you later Ms Vicky.
Daviss: lol ok now go do what you gotta do' later

People who are being considered for a lung transplant or a heart and lung transplant go through a number of tests. These tests range from simple, common ones like blood tests to sophisticated imaging techniques. The purpose of these tests is to:
- Give the transplant team detailed information about the patient's condition
- Make sure the patient doesn't have cancer or other conditions that might make a lung transplant unsuccessful
- Collect information needed to get the best match between the person receiving new organs and the donor
Here are highlights of the various types of tests a person seeking a lung transplant may need to have.
- Laboratory tests, such as blood and urine tests
- Diagnostic imaging tests, which create images of the inside of the lungs and the heart
- Pulmonary function tests, which measure how well the lungs are working
- Blood and tissue typing and matching, which are tests to match the blood and tissue types organ donors and recipients.

BounceBackProfits necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 98 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
Greetings creative builders of great logos. I need a new logo that expresses a cool idea graphically. I look forward to your ideas and awarding the winner.
I need a new logo for my business. I have an old logo that someone made for me free awhile back. You can see it by looking at http://www.TeamWYTAYBA.com . What I want the logo to represent is WYTAYBA. It should have WYTAYBA in it and that stands for What You Think About You Bring About. I teach and train people about WYTAYBA.
What you think about you bring about. It's your thoughts that end up controlling where you end up in life and how happy you are about the journey. This is not new:
Napoleon Hill wrote about it in his famous book - Think and Grow Rich.
Earl Nightingale has a program called "The Strangest Secret" which he says is "We become what we think about".
Gandhi - "A man is but the product of his thoughts, what he thinks, he becomes."
Dr. Wayne Dyer - "Change your thoughts, change your life."
Bible - Proverbs 23:7 - "As a man thinkith in his heart, so is he."
So your thoughts create your life and I am looking for a logo to convey that message - What You Think About - You Bring About - WYTAYBA!
I am looking forward to the designs!
Keep your thoughts on what you want,
P.S. If you want further information to study for the logo I have two other things:
1. Word Document - http://www.teamwytayba.com/WYTAYBA-…uction.doc
2. Audio of a recorded call I did on WYTAYBA - http://www.teamwytayba.com/WYTAYBA-…o-Call.mp3
- Cool Web 2.0 Logo - using some reflection properties
- Something for our webpage and also business cards and stationary
- Blocky looking letters or design
