O'Leary writes to a politician
Apparently, there is actually a member of the Ontario Provincial Parliament (Queen's Park), Lisa MacLeod (Nepean-Carleton), who thinks that the "human face" of fascism is ugly - or so Ezra Levant implies:
I wrote her to say,
I am a Canadian citizen and Toronto-based Ontario resident who provides an unpaid and unthanked news desk on controversial issues in science (NOT global warming, usually*).Well, maybe I will get a tree-killing letter in the mail on fancy government paper.
And will continue to provide it, come what may. That is because I am a good citizen and a traditional Christian.
Many of my friends have been charged or sued, under the governance of the "hrc"'s [= human rights commissions].
Sorry, I cannot help making it sound like a disease, but it IS a disease.
I too will suffer what I must. But my duty is to continue to report what I know as long as possible - to help those who come after us.
I gather from Ezra Levant's information that you want to restrain the people who have far more answers than I have ever had questions. And [they] have never hesitated to squish the ideas of others.
I wish you well. I wish you were running my riding so I could vote for you.
Cheers, Denyse
*The fact that this summer has been cool and rainy might give a person in your position something to think about. How severe should the persecution be against anyone who doubts the global warming religion or any of the other questions over which I have been threatened? Is that really a good use of the government's time? - d.
In any event, as soon as I am done my promised report on the risks of publishing a book or writng an article in Canada, I will be back to my regular reporting on issues of specific interest to readers of this blog.

Major Section: MISCELLANEOUS
A ``check sum'' is an integer in some fixed range computed from the
printed representation of an object, e.g., the sum, modulo
2**32, of
the ascii codes of all the characters in the printed
Ideally, you would like the check sum of an object to be uniquely
associated with that object, like a fingerprint. It could then be
used as a convenient way to recognize the object in the future: you
could remember the check sum (which is relatively small) and when an
object is presented to you and alleged to be the special one you
could compute its check sum and see if indeed it was. Alas, there
are many more objects than check sums (after all, each check sum is
an object, and then there's
t). So you try to design a check sum
algorithm that maps similar looking objects far apart, in the hopes
that corruptions and counterfeits -- which appear to be similar to
the object -- have different check sums. Nevertheless, the best you
can do is a many-to-one map. If an object with a different check
sum is presented, you can be positive it is not the special object.
But if an object with the same check sum is presented, you have no
grounds for positive identification.
The basic check sum algorithm in ACL2 is called
check-sum-obj, which
computes the check sum of an ACL2 object. Roughly speaking, we scan
the print representation of the object and, for each character
encountered, we multiply the ascii code of the character times its
position in the stream (modulo a certain prime) and then add (modulo
a certain prime) that into the running sum. This is inaccurate in
many senses (for example, we don't always use the ascii code and we
see numbers as though they were printed in base 127) but indicates
the basic idea.
ACL2 uses check sums to increase security in the books
mechanism; see certificate.

text: Sony MEX-BT3900U Car Stereo Head Unit 03 April 2013 david Blog I like it when things just work. Recently I replaced the standard Honda stereo head unit in my car for a better one. I wanted something that would work with my iPhone (both to play music and make phone calls) and that I could plug a USB stick into ... as well as the normal CD player, FM radio type stuff. I managed to get one of these Sony MEX-BT3900U units on special offer (less than half price in fact). I'm very pleased with it, everything just worked out of the box. It talks nicely to my phone over bluetooth (I can use the USB cable too which means I can charge my phone whilst driving). I even fitted it myself. If like me, you have steering wheel controls on your car make sure you get the right adaptor. At first I got a basic Autoleads PC2-68-4 which worked fine, without any steering wheel controls. But now that I have the correct adaptor for my car everything works. Very cool.

Canberra, may the hot air force be with you
If you wake to see a giant Darth Vader head floating outside your window in March, don't reach for your light sabre. This year the capital will feel the Darth side of the Balloon Spectacular.
This year's festival will feature four uniquely-shaped balloons, including a peacock and Simba the lion from the Netherlands, and Mr Bup the Turtle, and, for the first time in Australia, a giant Darth Vader head from Belgium.
The 26 metre-high Darth Vader balloon took its maiden flight in Europe in 2007, and will make its way to Australia for the first time this year to take part in Canberra's Centenary celebrations. With the engines roaring, it may even sound like the famous Star Wars character.
The four novelty balloons will be part of a flotilla of about 40 flying in the festival, which runs from 6am each morning from March 9 to March 17, taking in the capital's birthday weekend.
Pilots are also bringing in balloons from as far afield as France, Canada, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Pilot and managing director of Balloon Aloft Canberra Ewan Roberts said it was the most special shapes the festival has seen in a long time, and he hoped fans would come out in Force.
"We'd encourage all the Star Wars fans to put on fancy dress and come out and support Darth," Mr Roberts said.
"There's general excitement with Canberra's 100th birthday, and the Balloon Spectacular is a big part of that, it's something people look forward to every year."
Mr Roberts, who has been flying for about 25 years, said the festival was the biggest ballooning event in the country.
"It's wonderful, there's so much colour and noise, if you find yourself in a pack of 40 balloons – it's quite exciting," he said.
"For a lot of Australian ballooners it's the biggest of the balloon festivals around Australia … and we've got a number of international pilots come out as well this year for this event."
Dianne Ireland from Events ACT said the event is unlike anything else anywhere in the world.
"It's quite unique to Canberra, we're probably one of the only capital cities in the world where you can fly over the parliament and fly over the buildings. You wouldn't be able to do that anywhere else in the world," Ms Ireland said.
"Each morning the mass ascension is quite spectacular, watching them all lift off."
Balloons launch from 6am, depending on the weather, with entertainment and breakfast available for spectators and fliers alike until about 10am each day on the lawns of Old Parliament House.
Two companies are offering passenger flights during the festival: Balloon Aloft and Dawn Drifters. Further information is available by calling Canberra Connect on 13 22 81.

ARLINGTON, Texas — NCAA president Mark Emmert characterized the unionization of college athletes as a "grossly inappropriate" solution to the challenges facing college sports during his annual news conference at the Final Four.
While acknowledging that the relationship between schools and college athletes is headed for some measure of change, Emmert said making them unionized employees "would blow up everything about the collegiate model of athletics."
Emmert's comments came a little more than a week after the regional National Labor Relations Board ruled that Northwestern football players have the right to form a union.
NCAA: Latest Board proposal
Though the NCAA is not directly involved in that process, and the ruling is likely headed for a long appeals process through the national NLRB and eventually the court system, Emmert was highly critical of the notion that collective bargaining could be applied to college athletics.
"You can't split that one in two. You're either a student at a university playing your sport or you're an employee of that university," he said. "If you move to a model where you have labor negotiations between management – that would be coaches and athletic directors – and student-athletes to determine everything about what that relationship should be, is a wildly different notion than saying these are students."
Flanked by three college presidents and Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby, Emmert and his colleagues spoke at length Sunday about the NCAA's current effort to reorganize its legislative process into a structure that will allow the five largest revenue-generating conferences within Div. 1 to address issues much more rapidly as the environment around big-time college sports changes.
RELATED: Suit filed vs. NCAA, five richest leagues
With the NCAA's amateurism model being challenged by multiple lawsuits, Emmert acknowledged "it's time to act" on reforms that have been debated and promised among university presidents for years including enhancing athletic scholarships to include the so-called "full cost of attendance."
Those changes have been difficult to implement because schools from lower-resource conferences, which make up the majority of Division I, have resisted based on budgetary and competitive equity concerns.
But as the environment around college athletics has grown more uncertain during the past year, it appears the NCAA is poised to reveal a new structure this summer that will allow the 65 schools in so-called "power conferences" some measure of autonomy to enact rules while allowing nearly 300 other schools that make up the rest of Division I to still compete in events like the men's basketball championship.
Wake Forest president Nathan Hatch, chairman of the Division I Board of Directors, mentioned Mercer beating Duke, and Dayton's run to the Elite Eight in this year's tournament as "a wonderful example of why it's good to have Division I together" while acknowledging there has to be a way to recognize and address the differences.
RELATED: Union proponents meet Congress
"We've said all along we want this to be a big tent," Bowlsby said. "Those of us in the five conferences have unique challenges. We want the flexibility to have some permissive areas where we can do what we think we need to do to manage our programs. But we can't do any of it until we put a structure in place that's more flexible and responsive."
Though the NCAA hasn't revealed any specifics about which areas of autonomy the power conferences would be granted, Bowlsby mentioned redefining the parameters of a scholarship (including the cost of attendance), lifetime scholarship guarantees, reducing time requirements for athletes that have "crept upward" over the years, modernizing recruiting rules and giving athletes more of a role in NCAA governance.
"We really need to invite not only the voice of student-athletes, but we need to afford them some prerogatives," he said.
Many of those areas appear to be in direct response to concerns raised by both the NLRB ruling, which cited the amount of time athletes spend on their sport, and the so-called O'Bannon anti-trust lawsuit over the use of college athletes' names and likenesses.
Kansas State president Kirk Schulz said NCAA leaders need to be more transparent in their deliberations so that the public can get a full picture of the kinds of changes they're trying to make – and the difficulties that accompany such change.
"I think there's a perception at times that we're asleep at the switch," Schulz said. "I think most of the membership recognizes we're at a fork in the road and some of these things must change and we need to do it rapidly."

Prince George's christening portraits have arrived!
OK, now we can officially gush about how cute Prince George is ...
Prince William and his wife, Catherine, the former Kate Middleton, baptized their 3-month-old baby Wednesday and have unveiled four highly anticipated official family portraits that were shot by celebrity photographer Jason Bell after the 35-minute ceremony.
The tiny prince, who will eventually be named the head of the Church of England when he is crowned, was christened during a small private ceremony at the Chapel Royal in London's St. James's Palace by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.
PHOTOS: Kate Middleton through the years
"It has been a tremendously joyful occasion for everyone involved," a representative for Kensington Palace said in a statement following the christening.
After the event, the family and guests wen to Clarence House for tea and refreshments, including the top top tier of Wills and Kate's wedding cake, E! News reported. According to British tradition, couples freeze the top tier of the cake and serve it at the baptism of their firstborn, the site said.
On Thursday, Kate attended a gala dinner to aid her charity Action on Addiction hosted by the 100 Women in Hedge Funds Philanthropic Initiatives.
"He was such a good boy actually," she told Sky News (via the Mirror). "We were very lucky, he's not always like that."
PHOTOS: Harry Potter and the royals' studio visit
Even though the ceremony was private affair attended only by close family and friends (and George's seven godparents), the images were available for royalists around the world to appreciate.
Bell, who has worked for Vogue and Vanity Fair, has portraits hanging in the National Gallery in London and that's how the duchess, who is patron to the gallery, reportedly came across his work, according to the Guardian and Telegraph.
The portraits were taken at Clarence House, the residence of Prince Charles and Camilla, in the centuries-old Morning Room, which was originally meant to be the breakfast room for the Duke of Clarence in 1825-1827. The subjects were seated on and around an ornate sofa that dates back to 1773, the palace said.
The little prince appears the most boisterous in the shot taken of him with his parents. William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are smiling, seated on an ornate sofa with George sitting on his mother's lap, raising his arms to his sides. William wore a dark suit and light blue tie for the occasion and Kate wore a cream fascinator to match the cream dress from her wedding gown designer, Alexander McQueen. As for the guest of honor, Prince George was garbed in a cascading replica of the christening gown first worn by the daughter of Queen Victoria in 1841.
PHOTOS: Prince George's christening
The family also unveiled the highly anticipated shot of Queen Elizabeth II, 87, seated with three generations of future kings standing behind her: her son, Prince Charles; Charles' son Prince William; and William's son, Prince George, who is carried by his smiling dad. It's the first time a portrait like this has been taken in 114 years, the Telegraph reported.
The family portrait shows Kate seated with Prince George on her lap and flanked by her husband and Queen Elizabeth II. Behind them stand the queen's husband, Prince Philip; Prince Charles; Charles' wife, Camilla; William's brother, Prince Harry; Kate's younger sister, Pippa Middleton; her brother, James Middleton and their parents, Carole and Michael Middleton.
Another portrait shows the boy with just the members of William's family and the queen, dressed in a blue ensemble, gazing adoringly at her great-grandson and third in line to the British throne.
The Morning Room is decorated by other family pictures, which can be seen in the background of Bell's photos. A bronze 1933 bust of the queen stands in the background along with one of her sister, Margaret. Also in the background are a photograph of Prince Charles with his two sons when Prince Harry was a toddler and a Walter Sickert painting of King George V talking to his racing manager from 1927-30.
William and Kate, ever the non-traditionalists, released informal portraits of themselves with George back in August. The two pictures were taken by Michael Middleton on the family estate in Bucklebury, England, while the duke and duchess were staying there following George's July 22 birth.

Status Report
From: American Institute of Physics
Posted: Tuesday, January 29, 2013
Earlier this month the NASA Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel issued its 2012 Annual Report. Looking for hazards across the space agency's wide-ranging portfolio of on-going and proposed operations and facilities, the panel assessed six issues and concerns. Only one of the six in the three-color-coded graphic was red: the continuing issue of funding uncertainty. "NASA's budget is the 'elephant in the room' both for commercial space and for longer term exploration" the panel warned.
Vice Admiral (Retired) Joseph Dyer chairs the nine member Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP). Established in 1968, Congress has required the panel to issue an annual report since the 2003 Shuttle Columbia accident. Its charter requires the panel to:
"review safety studies and operations plans referred to it and make reports thereon; advise the NASA Administrator and the Congress with respect to the hazards of proposed or existing facilities and proposed operations, the adequacy of proposed or existing safety standards, management and culture related to safety; and perform such other duties as the NASA Administrator may request."
The Annual Report for 2012 was submitted to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, Vice President Joseph Biden and House Speaker John Boehner. In his January 9 cover letters, Dyer listed the six issues and concerns that are the focus of the report, and warned:
"Of these, the Funding Uncertainty and Commercial Crew Program [CPP] are interrelated and of the most concern. . . . For the last two years, the CCP appropriation has been approximately one half of the budget request. Informal communications with congressional staffs indicate this will probably be the case again in Fiscal Year (FY) 13.
"In carrying out our responsibilities, the ASAP hears both sides of the story. The NASA program team highlights inability to execute the program of record and grapples with the necessity to modify acquisition strategy to adjust for the funding shortfalls. The Congress notes the lack of credible cost estimate, the absence of an integrated schedule, and 'program instability.' In the Panel's opinion, a consensus between the Congress and NASA will be required to resolve this conundrum."
In its color-coded summary assessment of Issues and Concerns, the International Space Station was given a green designation for "significant progress" NASA has made for Micro-Meteoroid and Orbital Debris tolerance and station deorbit plans. Color-coded yellow, for a "concern or issue . . . that is currently being addressed by NASA" were Commercial Crew Program, Exploration Systems Development, Technical Authority, and Risk Management.
Funding Uncertainty was the only issue or concern that was color-coded red. The panel wrote:
"For several years, there has been a significant gap between what NASA is attempting to do and what it is funded to do. This funding-planning mismatch, and in particular the uncertainty about future funding stability, has the potential to introduce new risks above and beyond those previously inherent in space travel."
The panel later wrote "there is still a large funding shortfall in the facilities repair budget line." Discussed at greater length was NASA's "bold new effort to place humans in LEO [low Earth orbit] at much lower cost" using commercial partnerships. "Although they are showing promise as cost savers, they have yet to be validated as safe and effective for human spaceflight development" the panel stated, expressing concern about confidently certifying commercial crew systems. Finding there are "few options available to NASA when the budget is reduced," the panel advises "it is essential that NASA increase its awareness of possible safety implications and address those immediately."
The report continues:
"In conclusion, for several years now, we have seen gaps between what NASA is attempting to do and what it is funded to do. The result has been goals, requirements, schedules, and missions that are ever-changing to fit available budgets. With the current budget uncertainties, major manned spaceflight programs are being conducted at a 'Level of Effort' to fit available budgets rather than targeted to a firm mission with a firm schedule. Large scale, high-risk programs are being undertaken using untried acquisition approaches to meet available budgets.
"In the view of the ASAP, it is time for all stakeholders to reach a consensus on what the Nation is attempting to accomplish in human spaceflight and then fund that effort adequately and consistently. This disconnect is seen by the ASAP as a major risk driver in human spaceflight, which is why this area is color coded red."

April 18, 2013
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee women's basketball program garnered additional postseason accolades on Thursday, as the Tennessee Sports Writers Association announced its 2013 college basketball awards.
UT head coach Holly Warlick was named the TSWA Women's Basketball Coach of the Year, while Meighan Simmons was selected as the TSWA Women's Basketball Player of the Year. The winners were chosen in a vote by the association's members.
Under Warlick, Tennessee finished 27-8, winning the SEC regular-season title. The Lady Vols were 14-2 in conference play and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight, where they lost to Louisville. Along with being named the SEC Coach of the Year in 2013, Warlick, an assistant to legendary coach Pat Summitt for 27 seasons, received the Spalding Maggie Dixon Division I Rookie Coach of the Year.
Warlick returned no starters from last year's SEC runner-up and NCAA Elite 8 squad and had three starters this season who missed a combined total of 46 games.
Simmons, a 5-9 guard from Cibolo, Texas (Steele H.S.), paced UT in scoring (16.8) and minutes played (31.7) and was second in steals (1.4) and third in assists (2.1). She shot 41.2% from the floor, 36.5% on threes and 85.1% from the charity stripe and scored in double figures in 31 of 35 contests. The junior scored at least 20 points on 10 occasions, including a career-best 33 vs. North Carolina and concluded her third season at UT with 1,487 points to stand 21st on UT's all-time scoring list.
She was chosen SEC Player of the Year by the coaches and was a first-team all-league pick by both the coaches and AP. Simmons also was a third-team Associated Press and Full Court All-American and a WBCA Division I Coaches Honorable Mention All-America selection.

UW System Undergraduate Transfer Policy
Please note: Effective July 1, 2018, the 13 "brick-and-mortar" two-year campuses joined seven of the UW System's four-year comprehensive or research institutions as branch campuses. Each two-year branch campus is now accredited through their affiliated four-year university. UW Colleges Online will continue to offer courses for 2018-19.
The UW System has developed an Undergraduate Transfer Policy. This policy strives to assure that students transferring between UW System institutions, as well as those transferring from other institutions into the UW System, are treated fairly when changing colleges. Among its provisions are policies stating that a General Education requirement at one University of Wisconsin institution be honored at the transfer institution and that the Associate of Arts and Sciences degree (AAS) granted by the UW Colleges meets the institution-wide General Education requirements of a University of Wisconsin Bachelor's degree (requirements found in all undergraduate degrees offered by the institution). However, some degrees have additional General Education requirements, so you will want to work with your UW Colleges' campus advisor in planning your courses appropriately.
UWS/WTCS Uniform Policy Statement on Credit Transfer
Students enrolled in the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) who wish to continue their education in the UW System (UWS) may be eligible to transfer credits toward their associate's degree in the following ways:
- Students enrolled in the college parallel program at any of the following five WTCS institutions: Madison College (MATC), Milwaukee Area Technical College, Nicolet Area Technical College, Chippewa Valley Technical College, or Western Technical College may be eligible to transfer up to 72 credits.
- WTCS students may be eligible to transfer up to 72 credits of general education coursework within the areas of Communications, Behavioral Sciences, Social Sciences, Mathematics and Natural Sciences.
- Students transferring from the WTCS may be eligible for credit by earning appropriate scores on national standardized examinations (e.g., College Level Examination Program) or examinations developed by the UW Colleges.
For more information about these transfer opportunities, students should consult with their WTCS advisors or the Student Affairs Office at a UW branch campus.
Transfer Credits from a Non-UW System School
Credit is awarded for college-level course work completed at institutions accredited by a regional or national accrediting organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). (Foreign institutions must be recognized by the Ministry of Education in that country.) Courses must be similar in nature, level, and content to a course in our curriculum. Continuing education courses, graduate-level courses, and courses that are remedial, technical, vocational, or doctrinal in nature are not transferable.

Subscribe To Harry Potter's David Yates Could Take On Tarzan Updates
I've already subscribed
UPDATE: Gary Ross's representatives have contacted us to let us know he is not, in fact, pursuing the Tarzan project.
Turns out it pays sometimes to read all the way to the end of even the most minor-seeming Hollywood news articles. As spotted by The Playlist, the tail end of a Deadline article about screenwriter Adam Cozad notes that the Tarzan film he wrote for Warner Bros. is starting to draw interest from some big-name Hollywood directors. David Yates, Gary Ross and Susanna White are all reportedly "interested" in the project, which the studio is developing right alongside another Tarzan movie written by Craig Brewer, director of Hustle & Flow and Footloose.
Let's set aside the insanity of developing two nearly identical projects at once and look at the three directors who might take on the non-Brewer Tarzan. Yates is the one with the strongest ties to Warner Bros., having directed the final four Harry Potter movies to the tune of, like, eleventy billion dollars for the studio. Yates, who seemed completely exhausted at the release of Deathly Hallows Part 2, was briefly attached to big projects like an adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand and a Doctor Who movie, but he bailed on those as well as Your Voice in My Head; now all that's left on his docket is Cicero, which could star Tom Hardy as the notorious gangster Al Capone. Maybe Yates could get Tarzan going once that project wraps?
Then again, the job might go to Gary Ross, who had the biggest hit of his career with The Hunger Games but declined to direct the sequel, Catching Fire, with plans to take on something he could develop himself. Tarzan doesn't really seem to fit that description, but who knows what the guy might be looking for. And White would be making a really big change-- her most recent feature was Nanny McPhee Returns, and she's also done work on TV shows like Generation Kill, Boardwalk Empire and the acclaimed miniseries Bleak House. It's totally unclear just how much any of these directors are actually interested, or where the project stands, but feel free to speculate on who ought to help Tarzan do his vine-swinging in the comments below. Personally, I'm still rooting for Brewer's project to win out.

This piece makes me feel envy in different ways. How i wish my hands took the beautiful photos of the sadhus, and breathtaking shots of Varnasi's sceneries. Oh how i wish it was me in this adventure. But most of all, I wish I had the spiritual 'security' of the sadhus. I am envious, but I am grateful. For this stunning stunning work, thank you.
When Frustration Meets Incoherence
When someone says there's always gonna be at least one person who's got your back (read: care for you, support you, understand you, etc.), don't make the mistake of believing that person. That person hasn't got a fucking clue about life. Sooner or later, life's gonna slap you with the truth that it's you against the world. Or maybe not slap. Maybe it's gonne be like a bad bug bite. At first it just itches. Five minutes later, it starts to feel like its burning. Give it a couple of hours and it's gonna be red and swollen like Santa's cheeks.
Forgive the jibber jabber. Point is: no one really has your back and this will drive you to the edge at times. But you don't have to be a slave to this harsh reality because no one knows what you can do. So show the world who's boss. Or get a pet.
Doubts from 368 Days Ago
An unfinished draft from exactly 368 days ago.
If anything, law school has taught me to doubt. I guess that's not necessarily a bad thing but the irresolute chunk of me (and believe me when I say that this chunk makes up about 90% of who I am) wasn't exactly looking forward to learning it at this point in my life. If you think about it, doubt is the last thing I, as a fresh college graduate and a struggling law student, would need. It's tough enough being surrounded by people who already have clear-cut plans set out for them and by them, especially those already working their way to their freaking dreams. Inspiring, yes but it just makes me uneasy most of the time. To not have those things yourself, to be clueless about what you really want in life is an entirely different kind of tough. It's the kind that catches up with you every chance it gets, and when it does, the feeling takes so long to shake off (but you try to shake it off anyway). At least that's what I do. I procrastinate.
You doubt yourself.
You doubt if you want it bad enough, or even at all.
I have no idea who Robert Jeffrey is, what he does, or where he's from. But what I do know is that he worships Madonna (or at least used to). I stumbled upon this insanely charming video while I was back-reading on my Facebook newsfeed. The link was posted by one of my favorite college professors, Sir Chong, and Like-d by Madame Inton, another favorite professor, so I knew I just had to see it.
How adorable was he?
PS. Make this go viral!
Video Description.
I performed to MADONNA's "VOGUE" in the Summer of 1991 when my parents took me to Hampton Beach Casino in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. A business in the casino at the time gave tourists the chance to lip-synch to their favorite pop songs in front of a blue screen background, and I was lucky enough to partake that summer.
In honor of the twentieth anniversary of MADONNA's "TRUTH OR DARE" and in celebration of MADONNA's upcoming "W.E.", here is my nine year old self paying tribute to the woman who changed my life and continues to inspire me just as much today as twenty years ago.
My Baguio Weekend!
**I wanted this to be a photo blog entry but I just had to share this: If you're going to Baguio, make sure you drop by Kaffee Klatsch (where it is exactly, I am not sure just look for it, ask around!). The place was too beautiful for my digital camera (thus the sucky pictures). It's a coffee shop that opens only in the evening and it features local acoustic acts. I was kinda bummed out when I found out that it was a coffee shop because I was hoping to get some (alcoholic) drinks with my friends, but I wasn't disappointed. I ordered for their house specialty Klatsch Cup, a stronger version of Cafe Mocha, and boy was it delicious!!!
Thank you Michelle, Angel, Nikka, Meg, and Len for an awesome weekend! :D

This routine is almost an entire card act, which Colombini has used for many years.
To reveal several selected cards is an explosion of magic that is always very well received by any audience. In this presentation, twelve cards are selected and found in a "crescendo" demonstration of sleight-of-hand!
This kind of routine is used by many performers and is in the repertoires of magicians such as Doc Eason, Don England, Paul Cummins, Jamy Ian Swiss and many more.
Besides a deck of cards, you need some rubber bands (size 16) and you are ready to amaze and entertain your spectators.

So here we are after a bit of a hiatus after a much needed vacation. How are you guys? Everyone having fun with their Pandaria beta access and the like? Playing around in the world of Kung Fu Panda?
Well, a couple of weeks ago, we covered the fact that tanking in newer MMO's might present a bit of a challenge due to the lack of certain amenities that one might have grown accustomed to with the long-standing World of Warcraft.
Stepping foot into the Star Wars universe, I spent a bit of time covering what it was like tanking without a threat meter and how that experience helped me when it came time to return to Azeroth.
Well, this past weekend, I was fortunate enough to give the first betaweekend for Guild Wars 2 a decent try and let me tell you, if you thought that the lack of a threat meter keeps you on your toes while tanking, you haven't tried anything until you try to fulfill the tanking role without THREAT.
Guild Wars 2 does away with the whole idea of a threat meter for each mob completely and instead, the mobs and bosses are pretty much free to head after anyone that looks at them funny.
While I wasn't able to get into any of the few instances available, I spent time doing the tanking role for the big dynamic events as well as protecting a less gaming-inclined friend and performing such tasks without the threat mechanic was really an eye opener.
Tanking in Warcraft usually means that you burn through your high threat moves as quickly as possible and only have to go chasing after mobs when your damage dealers are a little too overzealous or in the rare occasions when someone accidentally pulls some additional mobs.
The experience of tanking in Guild Wars 2 usually had you chasing after mobs that just didn't want to play with you and utilizing your controlling abilities, the ones that knocked back, knocked down, stunned or blinded mobs, much more efficiently.
Without threat to rely on as a crutch, your crowd control abilities functioned as your only hard tools for easing the damage that was headed toward your squishies and it behooved you to save and utilize said abilities effectively. You couldn't really use all of your abilities as quickly as they came up and, instead, had to judiciously save them for certain occasions. Those occasions being NOT when a mob stopped paying attention to you, but when an ally was nearly dead and could really use those few seconds to gain some distance and to heal.
As with many aspects of tanking, I highly recommend that you explore the role of tanking, not just in Warcraft, but in other games to see how the role itself evolves and to hopefully make us all better tanks by broadening our experiences and forcing us to fulfill our group-saving role without certain mechanics that we may have grown to rely on as a crutch.

Josua Hoffalt in
a choreography by Samuel Murez
By Patricia Boccadoro
PARIS, 18 September 2006—Since 1981, when the short-lived Groupe de Recherches Chorégraphiques was founded, members of the Paris Opera Ballet have been encouraged to create ballets and have done so with differing degrees of success. In recent years, while José Martinez triumphed at the Paris Opera School with his light-hearted Scaramouche, a work commissioned by director Brigitte Lefevre, Kader Belarbi had problems convincing with his Wuthering Heights . And if Nicolas Le Riche fell flat on his nose with Caligula, all research but little inspiration, Yann Bridard , currently working on a commission for National Ballet of Nancy, has already created several interesting short pieces.
Every two or three years company members and not only the étoiles are given the opportunity to stage their creations, and these evenings are invariably a huge success, helped along by the fact that they are interpreted by some of the world's finest dancers. This year's programme, which presented ten works in the amphitheatre of the Opera Bastille, was no exception.
Of particular note was the beautiful pas de deux by Nicolas Paul, Entre d et e…, set to Hildegard von Bingen's, O vis aeternitatis, and interpreted by Charline Giezendanner and Charlotte Ranson.
After the promising Explicite Artifice, his first creation a few years ago, Nuit des sens by Sébastien Bertaud also deserves special mention, but more for the exceptional cast of Marie-Agnès Gillot, Cyril Atanassoff, and Jean-Marie Didière, than for the work's choreographic qualities. Enjoyable also was Saint-Germain-des-Prés by Béatrice Martel and Chemin de traverse by Mallory Gaudion.
However, the revelation of the evening was the ballet Epiphénomènes by 23 year-old Samuel Murez, a young dancer/choreographer who has already several works to his credit and who shows real potential. Murez possesses a true creative identity; his ballet was inventive, imaginative and full of intelligence and humour.
"My aim is to make a movie on stage", he told me. "If you think back to when The Sylphide was created in 1932 and put it into the context of the time, it's comparable to Matrix today. Incredible special effects were created, with girls flying through the air, appearing from chimneys as if by magic and then disappearing. Reality was constantly being mixed with the imaginary. Even the girl's low necklines were daring for the period. It was hot stuff! Not everyone goes to the theatre or to see ballet; they go to the cinema to have fun. I want people to have a good time when they see my ballets and to leave the theatre in a happy frame of mind."
Murez told me it was a hat he found which inspired his piece, created at Vieux-Boucau in the South of France earlier this year. He had several ideas turning around in his head and the hat triggered off the invention of a Trickster, a manipulator / magician figure who was bored and began looking around for mischief.
"He's a weird character who appears on stage in a purple velvet coat, a cane, and this hat, and hangs around waiting for something to happen. He conjures up a boy and girl, Jack and Jill, and plays with them, leading them to believe they were acting of their own free will when they were obviously not. The music, an original composition from the group, The Misters, starts up and the girl and boy cross in the street, look back at one another, and go on their way. The rendez-vous is missed. So I rewound the music, gave the girl a handkerchief to drop to give the guy a chance to pick it up and speak to her, and started the piece again. When he hands it to her, he's tongue-tied, and the rendezvous missed again. Back to square one. The music starts up again, and this time round the boy is carrying a bunch of flowers, but when the girl shows her delight, he kisses her and gets his face slapped........"
"Things finally work out and everyone gets it right, but when the Trickster has had his fun, he kills them. Then he feels hungry, goes to the corner of the stage and eats a banana that has popped up from nowhere. He drinks a glass of something before deciding the bodies are in the way and calls on a couple of helpers to clean up the place. He's not even nasty; he treats the people the same way as the banana."
"I also had the cooperation of some extraordinary dancers. Alice Renavand and Josua Hoffalt who interpret the young couple use real emotions, and I was able to bring out the special brand of humour that already exists in everyday life between Stéphane Bullion and Alexandre Carniato, the two henchmen, both superb interpreters."
He said that he was influenced, not by the actual choreography of William Forsythe, but by the principles that generate his movement, and added that he also admired the work of Russell Maliphant and the theatricality of Matthew Bourne. But as far as the work of Murez himself is concerned, his style is unique, owing allegiance to none. Once he finds his story, he seems to know instinctively the right vocabulary, lighting and music to translate what he has to say, bringing a sense of fun to his work, mostly absent from ballet these days.

I would like to abide by the site policies on not asking open-ended/chatty questions so if someone feels there is a better location or wording for this question, please feel free to modify it as appropriate.
I am normally a big fan of open source/open access work and I believe I have learned a great deal from such sources. There is an open-access journal question here. Nonetheless, there are times where I really do want a specific article that is not available through non-commercial means. I am currently studying to return to school (in other words I don't have access to an institutional subscription) for a physics PhD and reading published work is becoming increasingly important to me. As a result I am considering subscribing to one of the big publishing houses (Elsavier, ScienceDirect, Science, Nature, etc.).
Before I spend that kind of money, I would like to know what other physicists think of these organizations and who offers the best value. If I decided to opt for a subscription, which would be the best? Is a subscription even the best idea, or should I perhaps buy individual articles as needed?
PS - I know the answer to these questions depends on the area of interest, my interests lie in quantum field theories and the like, but feel free to answer for your particular area of expertise.

Walt Disney Co. has hired a new advertising agency to oversee media planning for its movie studio.
OMD, whose clients include Pepsi and Visa, on Wednesday landed the Disney Studios account, which handles an estimated $800 million a year in advertising spending, according to sources familiar with the matter.
It is a major coup for OMD, which has a large Los Angeles office that handles its Nissan and Wells Fargo accounts.
Publicis Groupe's 4D agency lost the Disney account.
Disney did not widely solicit offers and presentations from different agencies as most companies do when considering a shift in strategy. Instead, the search was done under the radar. A Disney representative declined to comment on the move.
The Burbank studio has been running hot and cold at the box office this year.
Its most recent release, "Thor: The Dark World," is a big hit, grossing more than $145 million in domestic ticket sales since its Nov. 8 debut. Another Marvel Entertainment film, "Iron Man 3," has grossed more than $400 million domestically.
But last summer, Disney shot itself in the foot with the big-budget flop "The Lone Ranger," starring Johnny Depp and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. The film, which cost an estimated $225 million to produce and tens of millions more to promote, resulted in a loss of at least $150 million.
It's been two-and-a-half years since Disney shopped around its movie ad buying account.
The Burbank studio solicited offers in 2011 after a high-profile shake-up at the studio, and brought in a brand strategist, MT Carney, a hire that raised eyebrows given that she had no experience marketing films.
Carney touted her social media skills and even tweeted details of her job interview process. She oversaw the account review that led to the hiring of the firm 4D and the dismissal of the company's longtime ad agency, Starcom of Chicago.
But Carney quickly fizzled at Disney and left in early 2012. She was replaced by Ricky Strauss, who remains the studio's marketing president.
Ad Week first reported the shift in Disney ad buying.
Another buying firm, Carat, will retain Disney's account to handle ad buying for theme parks, a job that is responsible for an estimated $200 million a year in spending.

There are hundreds of varieties of truffles, but the most popular are the Winter black truffles from Italy, France and Asia.
Black truffles grow in the ground near the oaks and birches. With black-and-brown skin, these mushrooms have a red-brown color of flesh inside. Truffles are distinguished with a strong, persistent, original and a very distinct aroma and slightly nutty flavor.
The truffle harvest can vary greatly from year to year, which certainly affects the Black Truffles price. The high cost of these fungi caused by specificity of conditions for their growth, the method of collection, storage and of course, the refined taste and aroma.
Truffles season is a relatively short. For Winter Black truffle it is the period from November to March, and for Summer Black truffle - from August to the end of autumn. The duration of the season is another factor that affects the price of the product. Accordingly, just at then fresh truffles are the most prized: many restaurants announce the beginning of the season and create a special menu for tasting delicacy.
For further storage, truffles processed for fragrant oils, sauces and other delicious Black Truffle specialties or you can buy fresh truffles in our gourmet store.
Marky's gathered in this section the best products from Black truffles for your highest satisfaction!

Butterfly Effect
All the patients we see have somehow been affected by the butterfly effect, where a series of unfortunate events or, more likely, decisions, leads them to the ED at that particular moment in time. If a child's grandparents hadn't smoked crack and ignored his mother, who at 14 was knocked up while out all night drinking, and now relies completely on Uncle Sam for food and housing, yet somehow has painted nails and a cell phone nicer than mine, maybe she would have filled the prescription for antibiotics prescribed at the previous ED visit, which was the 10th of the year since mom is usually too high to remember her child's clinic appointment. You see what I am talking about.
So back to compassion, which was the subject of a previous post. If a patient in the ED decided on their own not to study or pay attention in school and decided to be a slacker/thug/etc,. then I believe they can also find a way to pay for their medications and ED visits. I grew up in a relatively poor family of 7 kids, went to public school, and had to pay my entire way through college and med school. Never did I expect or feel that I deserved a handout. But had I not swatted that neck tattoo butterfly away and given into the temptation of dragon neck, I might be cutting the grass of the person who did study and took my place in Med School, thanks to that butterfly.

How does one answer a sage who quotes The FIXX? We pale in the shadow of your majesty.
I think the it depends on the person to make a choice. I wish someone could figure out what makes a person choose to go either way though so no one would end up with the dragon neck.ReplyDelete
If someone tells me I am wonderful, that is what I strive to be. If someone tells a person they are worthless, well, that can go either way. The person can choose to believe it and live what they are told they are, or they can choose to rise above to prove that person wrong. For me, growing up in a damaged/damaging home, I chose to not believe what I was told about myself, and because of that I turned out to be a productive member of society who has a pretty good life now. I could easily have been lazy and just gone with what I was told, but I am a fighter which serves me well. Apparently, I also write a lot of run on sentences...sorry! To condense this comment....great post, I totaly agree.
swatted the butterfly...ReplyDelete
dodged the bullet...
This is an interesting topic indeed and how the patterns of effect start. For me, my parents were largely alcoholics and dope smokers but I was bound and determined not to become them. Well, now I'm a second year med student.
That said, at 18, I got a massive tattoo that covers most of my calf. Dad was a ex-biker it was a birthday present.(Thank god, I can cover it.) And for some crazy reason, I also decided that tongue or nipple piercing was not cool enough, so I got a prince albert. WTF was I thinking. Still have it though :)
- guitarGirl, RN12:19 AM, March 15, 2007
Wait, you mean medical professionals can't have tattoos? oh crap. I'm gonna have to quit my job as an ER nurse. I have 5--two of which are quite large and one of which is very visible. Oh, and my friend the NICU nurse? She has 14. Oh WAIT--what about the 3rd year ER resident who has seven tattoos?ReplyDelete
I guess we're all out of a job. It just never occurred to me that the ink in my skin affects my IQ or my ability to give my patients skillful, intelligent, compassionate care. Guess I better go give my Masters degree back.
Go figure!
RA, a 'prince albert'? Better you than me. I bet the ladies dig it.ReplyDelete
Guitar Girl. My colleague, if I read him correctly, makes a distinction between tattoos and a "defining tattoo"... a defining tattoo being one so monstrous as to jump out at and slap the onlooker in the face with attitude. I do not believe schrodinger's cat has anything else against tattoos as I know he has one in the perianal area that states "exit only" (in case he ever goes to prison".
I was going to comment about focusing on the tattoo would be missing the point of the post. I see that 911doc already did, and did it in a very funny way.ReplyDelete
The point was missed by a couple of people, much to my chagrin. I have a small tatoo on my right shoulder blade. The late John Denver said it best, sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy. But only my wife or others at the beach ever see it. Don't get all defensive, tatoo people. And yes, some people can overcome "defining tatoos". But most can't, and like it or not, public perception is what it is, and a large neck tatoo limits what you can do, and doubles your work to try to prove people wrong.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous4:32 PM, March 15, 2007
If you did have the "defining tatoo", at least you know you could still open that hot dog stand you've been dreaming about.ReplyDelete
- guitarGirl, RN6:10 PM, March 15, 2007
OK, you guys are right. Granted, I dont' think I would tattoo my neck either...but only because I can't think of anything good to put there.ReplyDelete
Maybe "Schrodingers Cat 4-EVA"?
I hope you don't think that I missed the point of your post, I agree that tattoos in places you can't hid can lead to unforseen problems (not getting the job, or into medical school) in the future.ReplyDelete
For myself, I am susprised that I made the right desisions (sort of) given the enviroment I had around me, and the examples I had to go off of.
No, I got it for sure. Just never met anyone with a "Prince Albert". Concealable, sure, but OUCH!ReplyDelete
guitargirl- i like the idea of that on your neck, but with that many letters you would have to be very close to read the whole thingReplyDelete

But I have managed to get to Regional Director of a well-known Multinational Company, leading more than 100 men and women in a whole continent before I was 35 years old.
All that to say that I almost agreed with the logic behind this post, but the example of the tattoo, specially in 2007, put everything to lose.

This cabinet card shows Sidney Clarke, (1831-1900), an abolitionist from Lawrence, Kansas and supporter of the Free Soil Movement. Clarke began his career as a public servant when he enlisted, in 1859, as a volunteer with the Frontier Guard. Recognized for his effective leadership skills, Clarke was appointed in 1862 as Assistant Adjutant General of Volunteers. The following year he became the Assistant Provost Marshal General for Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, and Dakota. Clarke returned to Kansas shortly before the close of the Civil War and was elected, in 1864, to the U.S. House of Representatives as a Republican. He was reelected in 1866 and 1868, but was defeated in 1870 due to various scandals he was associated with. In 1878, Clarke resumed his political career when he was elected to the Kansas House of Representatives as an independent. Clarke's career in Kansas politics came to an end, in 1880, when he was unable to win a seat in the Kansas Senate. His life as a politician was once again revived, when Clarke moved to Oklahoma in the 1880s and became an advocate for settlement and statehood in the territory. Clarke's tireless efforts became a reality, when Oklahoma became the forty-sixth state on November 16, 1907. Sidney Clarke passed away on June 18, 1909 in Oklahoma City at the age of seventy-eight.

This was a weird year in wine � not necessarily weirder than any other, but weird nonetheless. About the time you think that wine is just about what�s in the bottle, something comes along to remind you that wine is another commodity susceptible to strange behavior.
Take, for instance, wine thieves. We�re not talking about those professional siphons that remove wine from casks either. These are thieves with two feet � and not a lot of brains. This seems to be a particular problem in Hungary where one producer decided to lay a trap. After failing to catch the insider taking a few bottles home every night, he decided to spike one of the bottles. With antifreeze.
A 30-year-man would have been arrested for the crime, but unfortunately he died after springing the winemaker�s clever trap. The winemaker was sent to prison for murder. But he no longer had a theft problem.
Italians may not kill their enemies, but they don�t take criticism lightly either. Gianfranco Soldera, owner of the well-respected Case di Soldera, found that out. He produces $300 Brunello di Montalcino and has been rather vocal about the poor quality of wine produced by his neighbors. Of course, he seems to be justified in his complaint � several years ago some of those producers were convicted of blending foreign grapes in their brunellos. But did he really have to tell the local press that his neighbors make �bad wine?�
Shortly after the public rebuke, more than 82,000 bottles of five vintages of wine were destroyed by vandals. His neighbors are suspects. He keeps his thoughts more to himself nowadays.
And about the time you thought you could count on a wine bottle being round, along comes someone to put our favorite drink in a square bottle. Truett-Hurst of Dry Creek Valley introduced a series of wines sold at Total Wine in square bottles. They theorize that once the bottle is empty, it can be used for olive oil or flowers. How nice.
You would think that Apple has the power to do whatever they like, but calling the color of its new iPhone �champagne� is not one of them. The French were very unhappy with this announcement and dispatched their tallest French lawyers to take on Apple. Instead of a champagne iPhone, you can now choose a gold one.
At the close of the year, we learned a lot about counterfeit wines. Billionaire Bill Koch spent $4.5 million on 421 bottles of wine he now believes are counterfeit. He testified against the smooth-taking salesman, Rudy Kurniawan, who was convicted of fraud and faces 40 years in prison. Investigators found a treasure trove of evidence at the Kurniawan home. All of this shows that most of you were right all along: there isn�t much difference between a $15 and a $150 bottle of wine.
Researchers had a wild year telling us what we drink and how much longer we�ll live if we don�t stop. But we liked the best analysis that showed red wine tastes better if it put in a blender for a couple of minutes. It apparently aerates the wine faster than a decanter, even if it is a tad short of romance. Mabye it�s us, but would you really put a nice wine in a blender? Before or after you made salsa?
Whatever awaits us in 2014 can�t be any worse. Happy new year, everyone.
Olema Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 ($22). This moderately priced Sonoma County cabernet is a pleasant drink with black cherry and espresso notes, good balance and medium body.
Stickybeak Toscana 2011 ($20). Made by the Australian producer of the same name, this Italian blend of sangiovese, merlot and syrah is a mouthful of fruit. Fruit-forward cherry flavors mingle with allspice, cloves and other spices.
Banfi Chianti Classico Riserva 2009 ($15). This value-priced chianti from Banfi aims to please every year. It has a velvet texture with dark berry flavors and a hint of licorice.
Renwood Winery California Zinfandel 2011 ($15). This Amador County producer makes several very good zinfandels at reasonable prices. Although the Fiddletown Zinfandel is a robust giant, this simple California blend is an uncomplicated quaffer for the price. Blended with the zinfandel are primitivo, roussane, mourvedre and souzao grapes.
XYZin Old Vine Zinfandel 2012 ($12). It�s hard not to enjoy this medium-bodied but luscious zinfandel made from old vines grown in Sonoma County. Good balance, simple plum and raspberry flavors with black pepper. A very good wine to serve with pasta, pizza, burgers and the like.
Layer Cake Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 ($15). Nothing is complicated about this California cabernet that draws grapes from Alexander Valley and Paso Robles. It may not be destined for your cellar, but it�s a decent drink to open at tonight�s dinner. Black berry and cassis flavors with a dash of espresso.
GarnetMonterey CountyPinot Noir 2012 ($15). We�ve always liked this simple and affordable pinot noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. Good fruit extraction, silky texture and ripe cherry and blackberry flavors.

Ravens beat 49ers to win Super Bowl
Date created : Latest update :
In an epic Super Bowl, quarterback Joe Flacco earned the award of Most Valuable Player on Sunday after leading the Baltimore Ravens to a 34-31 win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Joe Flacco joined the National Football League's (NFL) elite with a masterful Super Bowl performance on Sunday, leading his Baltimore Ravens to a 34-31 win over the San Francisco 49ers.
The 28-year-old quarterback threw three touchdown passes, all in the first half, without any interceptions, en route to capturing the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award in the NFL's title game.
Flacco completed 22 of 33 passes and threw for 287 yards, but the statistics and the MVP award were perhaps the least of his achievements. More significantly for Flacco, it elevated him to a rarified level where he has long believed he belonged but never quite got there.
"It hasn't sunk in yet, it's crazy, unbelievable," he said. "It's tough to put into words.
"They have to give it to one guy and I'm not going to complain that I got it."
Despite leading the Ravens in each of his five seasons in the NFL, Flacco has remained an underrated and understated playmaker, but no more.
He had said before the playoffs he was among the best quarterbacks in the game and kept true to his word with his flawless showing in the postseason.
During the playoffs, he threw for 11 touchdowns, matching the record set by Hall of Famer Joe Montana (1989) and Kurt Warner (2008) for the most by any player in a single postseason. Flacco also did not throw a single interception.
"It's pretty cool. Joe Montana has been my favorite quarterback so to be out anywhere next to him is pretty cool," Flacco said.
'Great concentration'
Standing 6ft 6in (1.98 meters) tall and possessing a powerful right arm that allows him to hurl the ball like a missile, Flacco has all the perfect physical attributes.
He made a great start on Sunday, orchestrating a six-play, 51-yard drive on his team's first possession that culminated with a 13-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Anquan Boldin.
In the second quarter, he threw a one-yard scoring pass to tight end Dennis Pitta, then a spectacular 56-yard scoring strike to wide receiver Jacoby Jones.
"That was unbelievable. It was third and 19 and so it was the perfect time to run that little pump," Flacco said. I had to step up and throw the ball on the run and Jacoby had great concentration.
"I didn't want to overthrow him there. He just did a great job coming down with that football and getting in the end zone."
Timing is everything for an elite quarterback, and Flacco could not have timed his MVP-winning performance any better as his initial five-year-deal is about to expire.
As a pending free agent, Flacco's value has suddenly shot up, and he plans to make sure Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti makes good on a promise.
"We just won a Super Bowl so that's the last thing (contract negotiations) I'm concerned about but he did let me know that if the day came, I could go beat on his desk and really put it to him," Flacco said. "So that's exactly what I'm gong to do."

Donkeys find home in farmers' hearts
Staff writer
Carol Duerksen and Maynard Knepp are typical Marion County farmers with a herd of 30 cattle and a flock of near 50 head of sheep at their rural Hillsboro farm. What is not so typical about their operation however, is the small herd of seven donkeys that grew in number by one last week.
"We just have them," Duerksen said on Sunday. "Maynard dreams of having a team of donkeys pull a cart someday, but we haven't got that far yet. They are sweet animals, as long as you let them have their way."
Donkeys have a reputation for being stubborn, and while Duerksen admits that is very true, she said they are also very loyal and protective of the other animals on the farm.
"A lot of horse people won't even look at a donkey," Duerksen said. "They are very difficult to train or lead. It takes several of us to move them from one place to another. But our donkeys have earned their place here. They are so loyal."
One of Duerksen and Knepp's donkeys, named Donkey, has earned a permanent place on the farm because of that loyalty, even though he has been crippled from birth and often requires assistance to get up.
"Donkey was given to us several years ago because his owner didn't want to deal with him," Duerksen said. "He was a twin and born with defective rear legs. They just don't work the way they are supposed to."
Despite the hindrance, Donkey's owners credit him for saving lost lambs, providing companionship to an old horse, and serving as a role model for a young colt.
Duerksen said he takes his role as farm guardian very seriously, even to the point of putting himself in danger to provide a barrier between ewes and baby lambs and ever-present coyotes trying to get them.
"There are times we've had to rescue Donkey from the creek or from wherever he went to watch over the sheep," Duerksen said. "He gets stuck in the mud and just can't get out because his hind legs are weak."
Duerksen and Knepp currently keep Donkey closer to the yard in a paddock adjoining the lambing sheep pen. He sleeps next to the sheep fence, always on the alert for strange movement or predators. In the paddock with Donkey is his latest charge, a weaning age colt, learning how to trust humans and live apart from his mother, a small draft mare.
"Donkey is a good influence on Huchley Joe (the colt)," Duerksen said. "He keeps him company and teaches him the rules of life around here."
Donkey will soon help take care of the newest donkey at the Duerksen/Knepp farm, a baby miniature donkey born last Friday named Silverbelle.
Silverbelle is the third in a long line of "belles" born at the farm, offspring of Isabelle and Jack Douglas.
"I just happened to check on her and see that she was having some trouble," Duerksen said. "The baby's head and shoulders were out but her hips were stuck. She was grunting and distressed, but once I helped pull her baby out, but she was fine."
On Sunday, the newest donkey zipped ever-widening circles around her mother, Isabelle.
"We will need to move her out to the bigger pen with Donkey, so she has more room to run," Duerksen said. "She will be safe with him."
Other miniature donkeys at the farm include Paco-bell and Jingle Bell. Larger resident Mammoth donkeys at the farm, like Donkey, include Monty and Elsie.
Since Duerksen and Knepp both work at other full time jobs, they depend on all of their donkeys to keep an eye on things when they are gone, but especially rely on Donkey.
"We know from experience that he will be the best protector for the new baby," Duerksen said. "Her mother is great, but Donkey's loyalty is just unmatched."

In recent years, findings about cysteine and its many functions in the body have been exciting. It can be used to help treat a variety of problems. Cysteine can form glutathione (along with glutamic acid and glycine), a powerful antioxidant and detoxifier that functions in many enzyme systems. Glutathione is a cofactor in many important enzymes that help protect us from the harm of heavy metals, chemicals, and smoke. Cysteine is becoming even more important as a useful antioxidant-detoxifier-protector with the increasing pollution and toxicity of this industrial age. A cell membrane stabilizer, it may reduce thehazards of smoking and alcohol consumption. It specifically helps neutralize the aldehydes produced by the liver as a by-product of the metabolism of alcohol, fats, air pollutants, and some drugs. It may also be helpful in this regard by minimizing free-radical effects, which also contribute to a variety of degenerative processes. Cysteine in sufficient levels will bind with metals—preferentially, the heavy metals lead, mercury, and cadmium bond most strongly—thus, cysteine aids the body's elimination of them. It helps promote tissue healing after surgery or burns, and it also may stimulate white blood cell activity to help in disease resistance and provide protection from mutagenesis of cells and the carcinogenic process, though further research is needed in these areas.
Smoker's cough/bronchitis
Air pollution
Exposure to chemicals
Psoriasis (aids skin healing)
Surgery or injury (aids wound healing)
Hair loss
Infection (immune support, detoxifier)
Rheumatoid arthritis
Cataract (best in prevention)
Cancer prevention and treatment
(decreases toxicity of offending agents)
Mental illness
Metal toxicity or exposure (lead,
mercury, cadmium)
* Protects alveoli from smoke damage, along with beta carotene, zinc, and selenium.
The overall idea, then, is that L-cysteine is one of the antiaging nutrients, as aging is thought to be due mainly to oxidation and free-radical damage. It may be helpful in actually increasing our life span and can be beneficial in those inflammatory problems caused by free radicals, such as arthritis and vascular irritation. L-cysteine also forms another amino acid, L-cystine, which is important in hair and nail tissues.
L-cysteine supplementation will be discussed in the specific programs in Part Four of this book. Basically it is used in amounts commonly ranging from 250–750 mg. daily, often taken in several portions throughout the day along with three times the vitamin C to prevent crystallization of excess cystine.

EmergingGrowth.com Reports on Emerging Growth in Gaming for 2013
27 Dec, 2012, 13:00 GMT
MIAMI, December 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
EmergingGrowth.com, a leading digital financial media company, Reports on PokerTek, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTEK)
Feature your company on EmergingGrowth.com. Visit EmergingGrowth.com to find out how.
Founded in 2003, PokerTek is looking forward to a first time positive earnings per share number for 2013. The company has a dominant position in, electronic Poker, as well as a growing presence in emerging markets such as Mexico and South American. The company also expects to be entering Macau for the first time among other emerging growth gaming companies such as Melco Crown Entertainment (NASDAQ: MPEL).
Among the top of the food chain gaming giant Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN), today there are more than 30 different casinos in Macau. HSBC Holdings and Citigroup are both bullish on Macau's gaming sector for 2013. They are forecasting 13% and 10% growth respectively for the coming year based on a mass gross gaming revenue increase of 25% and a gradual recovery in VIP revenue. Citigroup also selected Sands China, a subsidiary of Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS) as one of its 2013 picks.
PokerTek only has 8 million shares outstanding and is currently operating with greater than 70% gross margins, and driving 20% growth. They have reduced operating expenses by 29% and the stock is gaining investor confidence and beginning to uptick. Compared to its peers and other industry related companies such as, like Boyd Gaming (NYSE: BYD) and MGM Resorts (NYSE: MGM) we feel the company is undervalued and we believe PokerTek could approach the $2.00 mark in the near term.
