Subscribe To Lionsgate Shows Support For LGBT Rights In Response To Ender's Game Author Updates
I've already subscribed
Orson Scott Card's controversial views about gay marriage and homosexuality in general are not new. He's been expressing them for years, in fact. But with the feature adaptation of Card's novel Ender's Game arriving in theaters this fall, and set to be promoted at Comic-Con in San Diego next week, the writer and the film are making headlines as some are calling for a boycott of the movie in protest of the writer's views. Summit-Lionsgate seems to have distanced themselves from Card while promoting the film. For example, they they reference the best-selling book on the poster, but make no mention of Card's name. And it's also worth pointing out that he's not among the panelists promoting the film at Comic-Con next week. Today, Lionsgate Entertainment approached the subject more directly, issuing the following statement about their take on Card's outspoken views on homosexuality and their plans to host a benefit premiere as one of the ways they can support LGBT causes.
"As proud longtime supporters of the LGBT community, champions of films ranging from GODS AND MONSTERS to THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER and a Company that is proud to have recognized same-sex unions and domestic partnerships within its employee benefits policies for many years, we obviously do not agree with the personal views of Orson Scott Card and those of the National Organization for Marriage. However, they are completely irrelevant to a discussion of ENDER'S GAME. The simple fact is that neither the underlying book nor the film itself reflect these views in any way, shape or form. On the contrary, the film not only transports viewers to an entertaining and action-filled world, but it does so with positive and inspiring characters who ultimately deliver an ennobling and life-affirming message. Lionsgate will continue its longstanding commitment to the LGBT community by exploring new ways we can support LGBT causes and, as part of this ongoing process, will host a benefit premiere for ENDER'S GAME."
Lionsgate's response, which notes their support of the LGBT community through their attachments to certain films, and states that they don't agree with Card's views, comes just days after Card issued his own response to the controversy, which was making headlines due to Geeks OUT's call to boycott the film.
It's a tricky subject, particularly for those of us who disapprove of Card's views but appreciate his book, and were/are looking forward to Ender's Game. It forces us to ask ourselves if it's some kind of betrayal or act of hypocrisy to want to see the movie even if we disagree with Card's views on marriage and homosexuality. Especially when we take into account the point Lionsgate made about Card's personal views on this issue having nothing to do with the subject matter of the story, which is set in the future and follows a gifted child who is equal parts brilliant and compassionate.
With the above said, just as Card has a right to speak his mind on his own personal political and religious beliefs, people have a right to disagree with those beliefs and to show their disapproval with their wallets if that's the choice they want to make. But it does raise an interesting question about where to draw that line. And again, it comes down to personal choice as to what movies you would choose to see or not see based on the political or religious beliefs of the people involved in them. Of course, that issue gets more complicated when you consider that supporting or not supporting a film affects more than just one person. And then there are those who will separate their personal beliefs on political and social issues from how they choose which movies to see, which is also a personal choice.
Does Lionsgate's statement about Orson Scott Card change your decision to see or not see Ender's Game?

PSU, PHS students compete in STEM competition
Wednesday, October 30, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
Students at Pittsburg State University and Pittsburg High School squared off this week in an elaborate and unique game of miniature golf. This match, however, did not feature any golf clubs or holes, and the course wasn't a course at all.
It was really just a bunch of toys.
"They're educational toys," said Mike Neden, associate professor in Pitt State's technology and workforce learning department. "These are materials that are changing in many ways the way we teach STEM concepts."
The courses, built by PSU and PHS students, were constructed using the Rokenbok System, a remote control and construction system for STEM learning. Using Rokenbok materials, students built complex courses through which golf balls maneuver. The objective for the students was to build the course in a way that ensures that the ball hits a pin at the end of the course.
"The only catch is that we've designed and built remote controlled obstacles that we can use to block the balls from making it through the course," said PSU junior Tyler Britt. "That's where the competition comes in. It was a lot of fun to see what the high school students came up with and how well we it all worked together."
Neden said the activity was a Rube Goldberg project, which is named for a Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist, sculptor and author best known for his unique inventions. A Rube Goldberg contraption – an elaborate set of arms, wheels, gears, handles, cups and rods, put in motion by balls, canary cages, pails, boots, bathtubs, paddles and live animals – takes a simple task and makes it "extraordinarily complicated."
Neden said Rube Goldberg projects are often used to teach STEM concepts.
"It's an effective way to get students thinking and designing outside of the box," Neden said. "It challenges their minds, and there is a lot of education that happens during these projects."

New Zines For May 2012
Posted by Matthew Moyer on May 22, 2012
This month's selection of zines is a bit different than what we've been offering the last few months. Sure we've got a great selection of newer zines (you've got to check out Taking the Lane), but we also cataloged a bunch of donations – including those gifted to us by the great Dave Mitchell – so what that means is this month you can read hardcore zines from the mid to late-Nineties, minicomix and Sci-Fi fanzines from the early Nineties, and a fan newsletter for Seinfold devotees. Don't bother cranking up the time machine, just head to the Main Library downtown!

**Viewer discretion advised. There is some potty language in this**
Um… I'd be lying if I said I knew anything about Nurse Jackie. I had never seen nor heard of the show before Melo decided to be a guest star in it. From the video above, he's a baseball player in some sort of rehab. He also has to "take a leak" at the end of the video.

For some, its long, lazy days on sunny beaches; for others its Plett's buzzing night life and high season cocktail circuit! There are those who are up early to ride the forests and go parachuting and bungee jumping… and then there are the monkeys and elephants and other wild animals and birds dotted throughout Plett that make for the perfect fun-filled leisure time.
Oh, and don't forget to visit our 16 wine estates, go on a township tour, visit a township tavern, or take part in any number of activities and events that make up the various Plett seasons.
Now that we have your attention, there's a lot more to come!
Leaving their mark on the region have been an intriguing mix of Middle Stone Age man, indigenous Khoi people, ostrich Feather Barons, woodcutters, farmers, gold-diggers, merchants, sailors, craftsmen, ordinary folk even intrepid explorers such as Portugal's Bartholomew Diaz who landed at Mossel Bay in 1488 as well as a modern day diverse mix of tycoons and artists.

Returning to our trek through Zul'Aman, we'll head to the right of the entrance of the dungeon where we entered and take that pathway that leads under the little archway and up the stairs to Nalorakk, the bear avatar.
A note on the first pull or two on the way up to Nalorakk will be that they come in larger packs than you might be used to, groups of 4 or more. Do not be afraid to use a liberal amount of crowd control from your group and remember that when you ask for it, clearly marked enemies and what you want for each icon will go a long way to averting headaches and loose mobs.
It's important to note that with the second set of mobs, you're going to run into trolls mounted on bears that will hop off of their bears once they get low on health. This will lead to you suddenly having an extra add in the middle of the trash pull and while one additional add is normally not a big deal, if you're not expecting it and suddenly have two more trolls to suddenly keep track of, it can be easy to lose track of them and have them beating on your healers or overzealous dps for a bit before you can get it back under control.
The trash pull that will likely tax you the most is the one that occurs right before the boss. Unless you're completely sure, it's probably going to be a pretty good idea to keep at least some of these controlled, maybe long enough to take down the bears and their riders before starting to break the CC on the other mobs, keeping it controlled from start to finish.
After the suddenly increased annoyance with the trash packs just before the boss, Nalorakk tends to be a bit of a pushover.
He has a single fight mechanic to deal with during his humanoid phase and just brute force damage during his bear phase.
As the charge mechanic on his humanoid is the only wrinkle to the fight, keep in mind that even as a tank, if the rest of your group isn't cooperating, you can herd them along to some extent. If you were to continually pull the boss a ways away from the next person in line to be charged, even if they don't choose to move on their own, so long as they become the furthest in distance from the boss, you'll find that Nalorakk with charge at them, whether they were aware of the fight mechanic or not.
Finally, during his bear phase, he eschews his charge in favor of a a strong bleed effect that will typically fall to the main tank. As that tank, keep in mind that the combination of Nalorakk's hits on top of the bleed damage can be quite a bit much to deal with so keep a close finger on those cooldowns as you enter that second phase and don't be scared to pop what you have when you think that you might be dipping a big too low.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Facilitating laboratory learning
This program develops basic concepts required for the understanding
of chemical design. In order to show students how substances
undergo intended chemical changes, teachers use experiences
from everyday life, such as baking, soft drinks, the components
of drugs, and the contents of felt tip markers. Chemists,
portrayed in this video as chemical designers, use a variety
of laboratory inquiry methods and tools. These tools are
applied to chemistry teaching in the classroom and to the
ways teachers can facilitate of laboratory learning.
"We, as organic chemists, are molecular
engineers. Our tools, instead of wood and steel and hammers
and nails, are atoms and molecules. And we have learned
how to put these together to build molecules
so when
we design, its no different than when an architect
designs. You ask yourself which atoms you want placed where,
what the ultimate architecture of the molecule is, and then
you design a route to build it. Then you
actually make
the molecule."

Call it "The Manny Team."
50 Cent, a longtime friend of Floyd Mayweather Jr., is about to embark on a joint promotional venture with Mayweather's biggest rival Manny Pacquiao, according to a report by BoxingScene.com.
The Queens-born rap mogul and movie star initially started a company called TMT Promotions – "The Money Team" in honor of Mayweather's nickname – but that has already closed shop without making any impact. 50 Cent signed four solid fighters, got a promoter's license in New York and applied for one in Las Vegas.
Mayweather was initially discussed as a partner in the new company with Pacquiao and 50 Cent, but now it appears that won't happen according to the report. The site says that there have been rumors of friction between Mayweather and 50 Cent, but those have been unconfirmed.
"50 Cent and I have been talking now for maybe the last two months," Pacquiao's advisor Michael Koncz said. "They approached us with the idea to form a promotional company. Initially it was going to be 50 Cent, Manny and Floyd. But right now I don't think Floyd is going to be a part of it."
Mayweather and Pacquiao are the two biggest draws in boxing, but the pair's representatives can't seem to come to terms with a fight between them. Mayweather has accused Pacquiao of performance-enhancing drug use.
Pacquiao will meet Juan Manuel Marquez in December for the fourth time. He has already beaten Marquez twice and the other fight was a draw. Mayweather was released from a prison in August after two months following a domestic abuse conviction.

Recent findings indicate that even infants and toddlers are now at risk for becoming obese. Current national figures for infants and toddlers show that one in 10 is overweight, and more than 20 percent of children between the ages 2 and 5 are already overweight or obese.
Early obesity can lead to adult overweight or obesity and the chronic diseases that stem from weight management issues. Reversing this alarming trend is critical for parents or care-givers to ensure health for children as they grow up. Recommendations include the following:

Information for Patients
Foot Injuries and Disorders
Each of your feet has 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments. No wonder a lot of things can go wrong. Here are a few common problems:
- Bunions - hard, painful bumps on the big toe joint
- Corns and calluses - thickened skin from friction or pressure
- Plantar warts - warts on the soles of your feet
- Fallen arches - also called flat feet
Ill-fitting shoes often cause these problems. Aging and being overweight also increase your chances of having foot problems.

Also called: Broken bone
A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.
Symptoms of a fracture are
- Intense pain
- Deformity - the limb looks out of place
- Swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the injury
- Numbness and tingling
- Problems moving a limb
You need to get medical care right away for any fracture. An x-ray can tell if your bone is broken. You may need to wear a cast or splint. Sometimes you need surgery to put in plates, pins or screws to keep the bone in place.

ICD-10 Footnotes
General Equivalence Map Definitions
The ICD-10 and ICD-9 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
- Approximate Flag - The approximate flag is on, indicating that the relationship between the code in the source system and the code in the target system is an approximate equivalent.
- No Map Flag - The no map flag indicates that a code in the source system is not linked to any code in the target system.
- Combination Flag - The combination flag indicates that more than one code in the target system is required to satisfy the full equivalent meaning of a code in the source system.

I know. I was just really hoping they would go with either "Joey & Danny" or "Fitness & Danny". (I'd be okay with calling him just Fitness. They called the Globetrotters Flight Time and Big Easy, not Herb and Nate.)

you people are all terribly judgemental which really defies the true nature of the race: seeing the real people behind the gimmick that got them casted. yes ive seen jersey shore and i have my own opinions about those people but these guys really surprised me, they didnt seem to be playing it up for the cameras at all, they were just racing, they weren't villainous, misogynistic, disrespectful or rude as im sure we all assumed they would be to certain extents. what's to say they're not out to prove that "guidos" are not just the dumb party animals we've seen on jersey shore? what's to say they're not out to break the stereotypes? do they really have to announce that they're going to do it? i sure dont think so. give them a chance.as for the name "fitness", haven't we had "big easy" and "flight time" twice in the past? and "coach" or "fabio" on survivor? i dont think its any more ridiculous than any of thoseand for not being able to drive a manual i would hazard a guess that at least one other racer this season can't but either they didn't have to because they sky-dived or it wasn't shown because it didn't change placements, whatever.given that the race has shown us the people behind clowns, beauty queens, goths, amputees, achondroplasiacs, deaf people, aspergers and countless others in past seasons, what show have you been watching that you don't even give these guys a chance before deriding them as "obnoxious, self absorbed", a "casting joke" or "high school douche jock"?
Why do so many people hate them? I'm really confused.

When It Comes to Diabetes, Knowledge Truly Is Power
When people are diagnosed with diabetes, things can seem pretty overwhelming. In a short time, they have to absorb a daunting amount of information and start making significant decisions about the way they live their lives.
For many people, their diabetes diagnosis is the first time they've heard words like hypoglycemia, neuropathy, and microalbuminuria-or even blood glucose. Despite their unfamiliarity with such terms, they are expected to quickly grasp the information, change ingrained eating and exercise habits, learn how to monitor blood glucose levels, and remember how and when to take medications.
Yet another concept with which patients may be unfamiliar is the field of diabetes education. Many nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, and others are certified as diabetes educators, with specific training in teaching people how to manage their condition. Diabetes education is a proven, effective way to help people avoid some of the serious complications that may arise.
Diabetes is a complex disease that requires daily self-management. Most of that work takes place outside of the physician's office-in the daily lives of the patients. So it's necessary for patients to learn healthy behaviors and make them part of their everyday lifestyle. But how do they do this?
Diabetes educators focus on seven key areas of diabetes self-management, developed by the American Association of Diabetes Educators and called the AADE7 Self-Care BehaviorsTM. It's important for patients to understand and set goals for improvement in each of the following areas:
Healthy Eating – Learning to make healthy food choices by paying attention to nutritional content and portion sizes
Being Active – Recognizing the importance of physical activity and making a plan to start moving today
Monitoring – Learning to check, record, and understand blood glucose levels and other numbers important to diabetes self-care
Taking Medication – Remembering to take medications as prescribed and understanding how they affect the body and diabetes management
Problem Solving – Gaining skills to identify problems or obstacles to self-care behaviors and learning how to solve them
Reducing Risks – Understanding the potential complications associated with diabetes and taking steps to prevent developing them
Healthy Coping – Developing healthy ways of dealing with challenges and difficult situations related to diabetes
Patients and diabetes educators can work together to create a plan for approaching these self-care behaviors and implementing them in the patient's life.
For someone who is newly diagnosed, Medicare and most private insurance companies cover 10 hours of diabetes self-management training. Every year after that, patients are entitled to two hours of diabetes self-management training. AADE recommends that patients ask their doctors for a referral to a diabetes educator. Diabetes educators can also be found at www.diabeteseducator.org/find.

Hey, all. I've been a lurking-only member of this forum for almost a year now, mostly to get the latest news on AA's work. A few months ago I got inspired to build a flying model of the rocket on AA's logo.
I call it Widget's Ride:
Just under 31" long, weighing 3.6 lbs with two 29mm motor mount tubes.
Now I'm interested in building a flying model of Scorpius and was hoping one of the AA guys here could help me out with some plans.
I'm looking at around 1/3 to 1/2 scale. I'd like to get more than just photographs so I can get the details right.
Any chance of getting this?

The core is a 2-1/2" LOC airframe tube. The outer moldline is styrofoam shaped with a hot knife, then covered with a fiberglass sock.
Based on the average size of an armadillo, I'd say it's about 1/2 scale
If I can talk someone from AA into giving me some dimensions, I hope to use the same techniques to build a large scale model of Scorpius. I'd prefer the version with the aerodynamic shell on the nose.

Privacy Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Opaque products to maintain privacy
- Routeless slats avoid light seepage
- Add a liner for increased opaqueness
- Layer coverings for light versatility
- Good for bed, bath & streetside rooms
Privacy blinds and shades are opaque, or non-transparent, enough to prevent view-through, even when backlit. Perfect for rooms facing the street or a neighbor, privacy shades or routeless blinds are perfect for keeping the inside of your home hidden. Some blind styles, such as woven woods, will require an added privacy liner to provide the extra opacity needed. We also recommend choosing a top down/bottom up lift option or layering your treatments, like a faux wood combined with drapery, to best balance your light control and privacy needs. While these products will block view-through, they will not necessarily block all light like our blackout shades.

Ordered a large width wooden blind and was amazed at the quality of the product. Easy ordering, fast shipping and quality workmanship ranks a high five from this satisfied buyer. My satisfaction was also passed on via a phone call to customer service. Blindsgalore will certainly be my only choice for any future window treatment needs and I'd refer my friends and family to use Blindsgalore for their needs as well. I would've spent more and gotten less from either of the two giant home improvement stores in my area and as a matter of fact, they were not able to provide me with the one and three eights inch wide slat blind that I wanted. Thanks Blindsgalore JPView this product

Munroe Regional Medical Center, which has experienced a steady decline in patient admissions like other U.S. hospitals in recent years, expects to see admissions level off this year and next.
Munroe Regional Medical Center, which has experienced a steady decline in patient admissions like other U.S. hospitals in recent years, expects to see admissions level off this year and next as the economy rebounds and health care reform kicks in.
In a meeting with hospital trustees last week, Munroe executives said that 5 percent fewer people were admitted to Munroe in June than were admitted in June 2012.
The dip is even more pronounced when viewed over a two-year period. Between 2010 and 2012, admissions at Munroe dropped about 10 percent, from just more than 22,000 to just fewer than 20,000. The biggest numerical declines were in medical and surgical admissions, although pediatric admissions dropped sharply as well, as more patients opted for care at UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville.
Hospital executives were not surprised by the June-to-June drop in admissions, noting that it reflects a nationwide trend at hospitals.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which tracks health care spending, noted that hospitals across the U.S. saw an identical 10 percent drop in admissions in recent years.
But like Munroe, hospital admissions across the nation have leveled off and are expected to hold steady over the next year or so.
Munroe officials and health care researchers agree that the sluggish economy is only partly to blame for the recent trend. Insurers and consumers are shunning more expensive inpatient treatment in favor of less expensive outpatient alternatives at doctors' offices and surgical centers.
Rich Mutarelli, Munroe's chief financial officer, said that in many cases health insurers are driving the trend by refusing to pay for inpatient procedures that can be done less expensively on an outpatient basis.
Insurers are also forcing hospitals to classify some patients as "observational" instead of admitting them and are reimbursing hospitals at a lower rate for that care.
"I can tell you from an anecdotal standpoint … some chest-pain patients are now 'observed' rather than admitted," Mutarelli said. In many cases, observational patients receive identical care to those who are admitted, but the hospital cannot charge the same for their stay, he said.
Consumers are also driving down admissions by shopping for alternative treatments at medical facilities other than hospitals.
But even that is driven by insurers. Many insurance companies are charging higher co-pays and deductibles for inpatient treatments, which provides strong incentive for consumers to seek treatment elsewhere.
The drop in admissions is just the latest setback for hospitals, which have faced mounting financial challenges in recent years.
Spending on U.S. health care, in general, has slowed. A study published in May by Harvard University researchers David Cutler and Nikhil Sahni found that 37 percent of the slowdown can be blamed on the recession. They attributed another 8 percent to declining private insurance coverage and reductions in Medicare payment rates.
The largest reasons for the slowdown in health care spending, they said, were fundamental changes in the nation's health care system.
Still, financial analysts like IBISWorld and Fitch Ratings predict strong growth for hospitals in the coming years.
IBISWorld, which analyzes 700 U.S. markets, including health care, published a report in July predicting that health care reform will provide more people with insurance coverage, giving hospitals access to greater numbers of insured patients. It will concurrently reduce the number of uninsured patients that hospitals are forced to write off as uncollectable debt.
Despite the strong growth, IBISWorld predicted that high labor costs will temper hospitals' profits.
Munroe executives say Florida's refusal to expand Medicaid in the state will also have a negative effect on hospitals here.

TXT4Life program receives award
The program "TXT4Life" was chosen as the top award in the county category for the 2013 Local Government Innovation Awards organized by the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs. This award is in partnership with the Bush Foundation and co-sponsored by the League of Minnesota Cities, the Association of Minnesota Counties, and the Minnesota School Board Association, and recognizes government entities for their creativity and effectiveness in redesigning how they do business.
A panel of judges considered 94 submissions for their creativity, sustainability, and collaboration. The overall category winners will each receive a $10,000 grant from the Bush Foundation to continue their work and a professionally produced video to use to share the story of their work with others. Dave Lee, Director of Carlton County Public Health and Human Services said, "We are extremely honored to receive this prestigious award and thank all of our partners for believing in this innovative project and helping it succeed in saving lives."
The TXT4LIFE program covers northeast Minnesota, including seven counties and four tribal nations — a geographic area that represents six percent of the state's population, but consistently reports higher than average suicide rates.
The TXT4LIFE program reaches youth in ways they communicate most — through text messaging. Prior to funding through the grant, the Minnesota affiliate of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline reported answering about 25 calls a month from youth and young adults — a small percentage in comparison to their volume from other ages. With implementation of the text line, they are now receiving, on average, 300 text message conversations per month from this age group. The program is seeing that, for the youth and young adults, texting is the way they are communicating, and adding this service to the 1-800-273-8255 number has been a great benefit in saving lives.
The text line has been complimented by marketing and outreach in the northeast region, including school presentations, community trainings, and distribution of marketing materials. Lee refers to the school presentations as "equipping students with a lifeline in their pocket," as students are asked to enter the text line number into their phones during the presentation. The development of technology beyond the traditional mental health outreach has allowed for students to get connected to help and resources who may not have otherwise. The outreach and distribution of the text line as a resource has been critical in its rising use.

Shivahn wrote:Ok, so from time to time a task comes up at work that is mind-numbing and repetitive, and I am lazy, so as soon as something like that shows up I try to find a way to make the computer do that for me. Well, one of those is coming up, but fixing it requires knowledge in an arena I have not coded in: internet interfaces. I need to basically take a massive file with information and format it (no big deal), then do stuff to it. I guess I'll describe what I do now. I log into a website (which creates a pop-up window that's the one I actually communicate with), use one of the fields on the site to search and see if the entity I'm working on is in the system, if not, click a link which brings me to a registration page and then fill that page in with data about the entity, click another hyperlink and mess with a couple of drop-down menus, click (I THINK it's a hyperlink) in a calendar-type thing, then click a checkbox next to a specific time, then click a save button.
I have a big file from which I can get all the data I need for the forms, but I don't know how to write a program that communicates with a website like this. I'd probably write the thing in Python, but a language-agnostic tutorial would be excellent. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know very basic network theory, but I wouldn't know how to begin either logging in with a console-based program or navigating menus, boxes, search fields, and so on with one.
There are two aspects to what you need to deal with. The first part is HTTP, which is pretty straightforward. You won't have to know the specifics of the protocol, just the nature of the GET and POST messages. You could write code to handle that (it's not hard), but every language already has an API written for doing so.
The second part is navigating the HTML DOM. This could be a bit finicky. If the web pages are poorly written and don't conform to standards, some HTML parsers could fail miserably. Anyways, you'll have to understand the HTML tree so you can figure out whether your entity is present. The code will look something like this:
Code: Select all
for entity in database:
dom = httpGET("http://domain.name/path/page?entity=" + entity.id)
if not entityExists(dom):
httpPOST("http://domain.name/path/save", "field1=" + entity.field1 + "&field2=" + entity.field2)
That's very rough and full of bad practices, but it should get you started. Of course, ideally you'd just use SQL and be done, but that assumes you can access the database backend...

Hummingbirds might be known for their furious wing-flapping, but that avian family also lays claim to the smallest bird in the world. The bee hummingbird, found in Cuba, measures a little more than 2 in. (5 cm), counting the bill and the tail, and weighs about 2 grams roughly the equivalent of two dimes. The largest of all hummingbirds (the aptly named giant hummingbird) weighs about 10 times as much. Still, the wee bee variety can fly with the best of them, clocking in at about 50 to 80 flaps per second.

As World AIDS Day approaches I start to think about what is, what could be, and what I dream of. To dream of an AIDS-free generation is something I once thought was completely out of the question. In fact, I remember right after I was diagnosed, I had several people tell me I'd live to see a cure. I also remember thinking that they were crazy or, more loosely, yeah friggin' right!
So to now be in a place where we actually have the tools needed to see this come to fruition is mind-blowing. I know I would personally do anything I can to make it happen -- and I've done many things, from picking up teens to take them for testing and being a mentor, to walking across campus and talking to people about HIV, to going to bars and raves and handing out condoms and lubes -- because this is all what I feel is a way to help, to lower infections. But I know it is going to take more than that: It is going to take some people standing up and being absolutely honest; it is going to take changing the politics in America concerning HIV/AIDS; it is going to take more medicine, more funding, more education, more open dialogue; it is going to take people stopping the judgment and giving a hand when and where they can; and it is going to take all of us.
We have to stop pretending that things are different than what they are; for instance, that positive people don't have sex, and if we do it can only be with other positive people. I personally know several people who date only negative partners, who only have unprotected sex with those negative partners. But guess what? When it is two consenting adults who make a choice to do so, it is not our place as a society to judge them or share our opinion with them.
We have to expect that people whose basic fundamental rights and needs are being undermined and trampled may not worry about taking medication or wearing a condom. We have to stop and think about the root causes for risky behaviors, or rapes, or drug use, or ignorance are and first educate about those. We have to stand up, take some accountability and do what needs to be and should be happening in this country to change the politics so that funding is where we need it, when we need it. So that people who are infected have undetectable viral loads, and we are using treatment as prevention since we now know that is a way to strongly curb the number of new infections.
We need to do our part as well in making sure that funding is available by advocating, by making sure we are involved in the process. I live in Nebraska and while I have sat on the board of directors for the ADAP Advocacy Association for over a year, I have been positive for over six years. At my first doctor's appointment I walked in and said "I have to talk about this to people; this isn't supposed to happen." However, I am just now finally getting connected with the state agencies, the Ryan White councils, the ADAP and funding allocation committees. That's because this is how long it took me to even find the councils and committees because no one in the state that should have been making sure an HIV-positive person was involved in the process did that job.
What does this mean for you? This means it is a painstaking process that is hard and takes dedication; but fortunately in most places people do the jobs they are supposed to do and there are a number of activists and advocates, which means that you reach out to them to make the journey a little easier, and then you fight. You don't shut up, you don't give up, and you do what needs to be done, whether it is popular or not. That is how we get to an AIDS-free generation; that is how this changes!
Stop being ashamed that you are living, LIVING, with an illness. I don't care what you did to get infected or how it happened because that can't change; but what can change are the coming generations and YOU can be a part of that change. I can't think if a better legacy than to be able to look back and say "Yeah; I did my part in that."
Talk about that at your dinner table!

Discovery Of Approximately More Than Four Hundred Marijuana Plants Results In Arrests
HOUSTON, TX - Thomas E. Hinojosa, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement (DEA), along with United States Attorney Kenneth Magidson announced today that three individuals were arrested on Thursday following the execution of search warrants at several locations and the discovery of grow operations of hydroponic marijuana. James Dinh Nguyen, 36, from Richmond, Texas, and Phuong Thien Nguyen aka John, 31, and Chung Van Nguyen, 29, both of Houston were taken into custody. A warrant remains outstanding for Truong Van Nguyen, 36, of Houston. Anyone having information regarding his whereabouts is asked to contact the DEA at 713-693-3000. -
The criminal complaint filed charges the defendants with conspiring to possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance involving more than 100 marijuana plants. The complaint alleges that a warehouse on the 9900 block of Tanner Road in Houston and a house located on the 17500 block of Stamford Oaks Drive in Tomball, Texas, were utilized for the purpose of growing marijuana. The search of the location on Tanner Road resulted in the seizure of approximately 171 marijuana plants and 50 pounds of harvested marijuana. The search at Stamford Oaks Drive resulted in the recovery of approximately 270 marijuana plants. In addition, several thousand dollars in U.S. currency and various firearms were found at a house in the 19800 block of Beecham Lake Lane, in Richmond, Texas.
Those arrested are expected to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Milloy for their initial appearance on Monday, Oct. 24, 2011. At that time, the court will determine whether the defendants will be released on bond or remain in custody pending preliminary and detention hearings at the request of the United States.
If convicted of the conspiracy offense, the defendants each face a mandatory minimum punishment of five years to a maximum of 40 years without parole and a $5 million fine.
The charges are the result of an Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force investigation conducted by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies including the DEA, sheriff's offices in Fort Bend and Harris Counties, the Katy and Houston Police Departments and the Texas Department of Public Safety. Assistant United States Attorney Jesse Rodriguez is prosecuting the case.

LOS ANGELES - In the final episode of NBC's "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart," Martha Stewart, Founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. selected candidate Dawna Stone ('95) as her apprentice and named her to the new position of Director of Development of Body + Soul, the company's rapidly growing magazine providing "how-to" and inspiration for healthy, natural living.
Dawna is Founder and Publisher of Her Sports, a magazine for women who are very active, sports-oriented, healthy and fit. In her new position at Body + Soul, Dawna will focus on new business development for the magazine, tasked with growing national advertising programs and creating ancillary revenue streams. She will work closely with Martha Stewart as well as with Body + Soul Publisher Janesse Bruce and her Boston-based team. "Dawna is creative and talented, and her entrepreneurial spirit and publishing experience make her a valuable addition to Body + Soul during its period of rapid growth," Stewart said.
"I am thrilled to have been chosen by Martha Stewart as her apprentice and to work with the team at Body + Soul. This is a fantastic opportunity to have a significant impact on the continued success of this magazine," said Dawna.
Dawna is the second UCLA Anderson alumnus to become an apprentice. Kelly Perdew ('96) became Donald Trump's executive on NBC's The Apprentice hosted by the real estate mogul.
"Kelly is a friend of mine, we went to school together, but I didn't speak with him during the show," Dawna said. "When I interviewed with the show, they asked if we knew anyone who had been involved with the show and I mentioned Kelly. When I was selected for the show, I was told not to be in contact with him, so we didn't speak throughout the process.
"But he called me today to congratulate me and as soon as I'm done with some interviews, I'm going to give him a call."
Dawna plans to work full time for Martha Stewart's company and will leave Her Sports in the hands of her husband and her talented staff. Her hope is to learn from Stewart and bring the experience back to her own publishing company.
"This was not about being on a television show for me. I really wanted to work for Martha," she explained. "Her Sports magazine is just a starting point. I really want to market the healthy lifestyle to women. I also do motivational speaking and have regular segment on Fox here in Tampa. Martha Stewart is the one person who is so successful at putting together a book, a television series, merchandising. I plan to spend a year with her company and bring what I've learned back to my magazine."
The new apprentice is effusive when asked how her UCLA Anderson experience informed her Apprentice experience.
"That's not a hard question at all," she said. "Definitely it's the teamwork. In task after task, it was just like business school, working on group projects. It was just like a (Prof. Bill) Cockrum class, where you had to work on a project but didn't get to pick your own team members. You had to work with people with different backgrounds, figure out who had what strengths.
"My business school experience helped out tremendously and I'm sure it helped Kelly out as well."

Big monetary policy news: Fresh minutes from the Federal Reserve show that there were "several" members who favored an end to QE sometime in 2013.
Here's the exact line from the minutes:
Several others thought that it would probably be appropriate to slow or to stop purchases well before the end of 2013, citing concerns about financial stability or the size of the balance sheet. One member viewed any additional purchases as unwarranted.
The market has ticked lower on the news, and gold is diving.
The timing of this hawkish turn is quite ironic.
It was at this meeting that the Fed adopted the "Evans Rule," a policy framework which indicates that the Fed will not tighten until the unemployment rate gets to around 6.5%, or inflation expectations get to around 2.5%. This guidance was seen as a big achievement of dovish monetary policy wonks, who have been pushing a long time for the Fed to have clear guidance thresholds that heavily weight unemployment.
But even before today's Fed minutes, there were growing murmurs about the Fed moving marginally toward tightening. As we wrote on December 20, you could argue that the Fed marginally tightened, because whereas the previous guidance indicated no end to easing until 2015, at current trajectories, we could hit the "Evans Rule" thresholds by the end of 2014.
So now we have more evidence of a tilt. Just when the Fed gets to a policy that the doves have been pushing for a long time, the Fed gives off its first real signals of an eventual return to normal policy.

Word-Level Abstractions from Digital Circuits using Algebraic Geometry and Symbolic ComputationZeit: Wed 16.3.2016, 08:30, 90 Minuten
Ort: Science Park 3 S3 048
ZusammenfassungIn this talk, I will describe problems of word-level abstractions with applications to hardware verification of arithmetic datapaths. Datapath designs implement arithmetic computations over finite word-length operands (k-bit vectors). By interpreting these designs as polynomial functions over finite fields of 2^k elements, we can formulate the decision problems using concepts from commutative algebra and algebraic geometry such as Nullstellensatz, elimination theory, etc. Groebner basis techniques can then be employed to solve the verification instances. While Groebner basis techniques can be powerful as reasoning engines, the computation suffers from high complexity. To overcome this complexity, I will show how we can analyze the structure and symmetry inherent in the datapath designs to get more insights into the corresponding polynomial ideals. Efficient symbolic computation algorithms can then be tailored to address such applications. I will motivate the verification context with applications from elliptic curve cryptography, and then discuss some challenges in generalizing such approaches to integer arithmetic circuits - for which there are specific needs (and there is scope!) to improve symbolic computing algorithms targeted for hardware verification.

text: This history features the Nobel laureates, physicists John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton, who were instrumental in revealing the structure of the atomic nucleus. It focuses on their work with Lord Rutherford at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England during the 1920s and 1930s where they built an accelerator that allowed them to hurl protons into the nuclei of various elements and observe the resulting transformations. The author integrates their personal stories with the frustration and excitement of their scientific work to tell an engaging tale. The history includes the interactions of Cockcroft and Walton with many of the luminaries who populated Cavendish during that time including Rutherford, James Chadwick, and George Gamow. The book provides an interesting introduction to nuclear physics for a general audience.

Capitalization Anime Titles
So what do you generally do when writing the title of series (and songs, etc)? Assuming you aren't lazy and just don't capitalize anything, what words do you choose to capitalize?
Do you capitalize every word? (Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni)
Or ignore the particles? (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni)
What about the longer particles? (Shinsekai Yori vs Shinsekai yori)

I'll usually go by shorthand, for one thing.
So, with your Higurashi example, I just call it... Higurashi. If I want to refer specifically to the 2nd season alone, I'll call it "Higurashi Kai". If I want to refer specifically to the 1st season alone, I'll call it "Higurashi's 1st Season". Yes, writing all that out is easier to me than remembering all those littler particles in Higurashi's title.
But on those occasions when I can't really dismiss the particles (such as with Shinsekai Yori), my personal rule is 'if the particle is 3 or more letters long, it gets capitalized; less than 3 letters long, it doesn't get capitalized'.
My biggest problem with anime title names is wondering at times how to handle those sometimes pesky exclamation marks. Writing "K-On!!" in the middle of a sentence kind of looks wrong to me (i.e. having exclamation marks in the middle of a sentence). At the same time, ending off a sentence with "K-On!!" makes it seem like I'm really shouting the entire sentence that "K-On" is in, lol. I still haven't made up my mind as to the best way to refer to "Little Busters!".

^Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka? seems to question itself too. :3
I usually try to put grammar titles before the end of the sentence or if I can't be bothered to I just italicize or bold the title. When formatting isn't an option you just need to be a little more creative. "Speaking of which, Little Busters! is just about finished so it's time I get to that..."
Like that.

Exclamation marks uggh.
I find that when you italicize or quote them it makes it a bit more flowing.
Also, more questions, maybe a bit more about romanization in general rather than just titles but,
ha vs wa, wo vs o, etc.
how do you handle mini yx sounds (Nichijou vs Nichijyou vs Nichizyou)

As for the capitalization, I prefer to not capitalize particles. Sometimes I might not capitalize certain other grammatical constructs, like "desu" or "demo". For example, "Kore wa Zombie desu ka?" (Debatable if it should be "desuka" in this case.) I also did "Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!" I've seen some other sites follow the same rule.
That aside, sometimes I'm undecided about the "he" and "wo" particles, and it seems I'm not alone on that. Looking at my history, I've generally tended to write them out as above, rather than following the revised Hepburn rule of "e" and "o". That said, I do use the modified rule for "n", as I think most do. (Basically, I guess I just write out each kana in romaji.)
And, for what it's worth, I dislike macrons, so always write the long vowels out.
I'm not sure if any of this is all that important unless you're maintaining some sort of a database (which I do) or you just like having personal standards... but there you go.

I personally refrain from capitalizing particles in titles (no, ni, wa, de etc.). But because there is no capitalization in Japanese I think there is no surefire right way to do it. So however you want to do it is not objectionable, even all lowercase imho. If you want to be correct all you can really do is apply your language's rules onto it the best you can. Or type it in Japanese
As for to call it by translated name or Japanese name, I just follow what the fandom does I'm not sure how it is decided what to call shows, sometimes the translated name gets popular and sometimes the original Japanese name gets popular.

The SKY78070, SkyOne® is a hybrid, multimode, multiband (MMMB) Front-End Module (FEM) that supports 2.5G and 3G/4G handsets and operates efficiently in GSM, GPRS, EDGE, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, HSPA, and LTE modes. The FEM consists of a GSM800/EGSM900 PA block, a DCS1800/PCS1900 PA block, separate WCDMA blocks operating in the low and mid- bands, duplexers for bands 1, 2, 5 and 8, a logic control block for multiple power control levels, and band enable functions in both cellular and UMTS. RF I/O ports are internally matched to 50 ohms to minimize the need for external components. Extremely low leakage current maximizes handset standby time.
Filter Integration: Duplexers for bands 1, 2, 5, and 8 are designed into the SKY78070. This produces a highly integrated front-end solution wherein PA matching is accomplished with pre- and post- duplexer matching circuits which eliminates any required tuning outside the module. This highly integrated solution significantly reduces time-to-market and also provides the smallest RF footprint which yields more space for form factor designers.
GSM / EDGE: The SKY78070, with new compact architecture, supports the GSM850, EGSM900, DCS1800 and PCS1900 bands, as well as 2.5G Class 12 Enhanced General Packet Radio Service (EGPRS) multi-slot operation and EDGE linear modulation.WCDMA: The SKY78070 enhanced architecture supports WCDMA/High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) modulations, covers multiple bands for 3GPP including bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8, and operates at different power modes.
LTE: The SKY78070 meets spectral linearity requirements of LTE modulation with QPSK/16QAM up to 20 MHz bandwidth, including various resource block allocations, with good power-added efficiency.
TD-SCDMA: The SKY78070 meets spectral linearity requirements of TD-SCDMA modulation with good power-added efficiency.
Receiver Section: The SKY78070 integrated Duplexers, RX SAWs, and 1P16T SOI switch provides 2G/3G/4G Rx paths from antenna to LNA port of RFIC. GPS and WiFi coexistence are designed-in for exceptional support to maintain all radio performance, even in scenarios of simultaneous use. Optimized low insertion-loss Rx paths, matching circuits, and well-grounded guard traces (high Tx–Rx isolation) inside the module mitigate de-sense problems and enhance sensitivity performance.
MIPI RFFE Control Interface: The SKY78070 is fully controllable via 2 separate MIPI serial interfaces, one for the PA engine and one for the ASM.
Please note: SKY78070-15-BUFF and SKY78070-15T are being discontinued and are not recommended for new designs.

Third Degree Cocktail
2/3 Burrough's Plymouth Gin. (3/4 oz Plymouth Gin, 3/4 oz Bols Genever)
1/3 French Vermouth. (3/4 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth)
4 Dashes of Absinthe. (1 tsp Greenway Distiller's Absinthe Superior)
Shake well and strain into old-fashioned whisky glass.
We discussed the Third Degree a bit when we made the Fourth Degree Cocktail.
To recap, Robert Vermeire, in his book, "Cocktails: How to Mix Them," considered both the Third and Fourth Degree cocktails to be variations on the Martinez. About the Third Degree he states, "The Third Degree is a Martinez Cocktail (Continental Style) with a dash of Absinthe and an olive, but 2/6 gill of Gin and 1/6 gill of French Vermouth should be used."
The recipe for the Martinez (Continental Style) is as follows:
Fill the bar glass half full of broken ice and add:
2 dashes Orange Bitters
3 dashes of Curacao or Maraschino
1/4 gill of Old Tom Gin
1/4 gill of French Vermouth
Stir up well, strain into a cocktail-glass, add olive or cherry to taste, and squeeze lemon-peel on top. This drink is very popular on the Continent.
He uses the term "continental" to differentiate European style Martinez' from the "English" style Martinez, which is as follows:
2 dashes of Orange Syrup
2 dashes of Angostura Bitters
1/4 gill of Plymouth Gin
1/4 gill of French Vermouth
The whole stirred up in ice in the bar glass, strained into a cocktail-glass with a lemon peel squeezed on top. Olive or Cherry according to taste.
Interesting that all of Vermeire's Martinez call for French Vermouth!
In any case, since it uses Plymouth Gin, the Savoy Third Degree appears to be more closely based on the "English" Martinez, than the "Continental" version.
As we discussed earlier, there is some new evidence regarding the early 20th Century version of Plymouth Gin, in that it is said to have been "flavour[ed] with the wash of whisky distilleries". What that exactly means, will have to wait until I am able to taste a vintage sample, but until then, I am splitting the difference in the drinks which call for Plymouth Gin between Bols Genever and modern Plymouth Gin.
The fairly large pour of Absinthe in this cocktail, causes it to be the dominant element. Luckily the malty character of the Genever brings a bit more interest to the party than simple, modern, GNS based Plymouth would. While I favor the Fourth Degree slightly, this is also quite a tasty beverage!
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

As a boy growing up in San Diego, I found it inconceivable that Tony Gwynn had been born in Los Angeles. It did not make sense because there was nobody, or nothing -- not the Coronado Bridge, not the Navy ships, not the temperate weather -- that seemed more San Diegan than him.
I was incredulous when someone first pointed this fact out to me. I was floored after confirming the fact from numerous stories and books about him. So I did something that only an irrational fan would do: I chose to ignore that little tidbit.
Tony Gwynn, who also played basketball and baseball at San Diego State, was ours, and nothing that anybody could say or write could ever change that fact.
Now he's gone at the young age of 54 after a bout with cancer, and all of us who grew up idolizing him weep.
We weep for what this means for his family, for what it means to our childhood and what it means for a San Diego sports scene that continues to be mired in tragedy. The city's best football team, the Super Bowl runner-up 1994 Chargers, has suffered a stunning number of tragic deaths, including the suicide of Junior Seau, arguably the most popular Charger. The 1984 World Series runner-up Padres lost second baseman Alan Wiggins to AIDS after a battle with drug addiction. The 1998 World Series runner-up Padres lost Ken Caminiti, a former NL MVP, to a drug overdose. Earlier this year, longtime Padres announcer and World War II hero Jerry Coleman also died.
Now, the loss of the city's greatest sports icon is a crushing blow.
What does it say about a man that so many people from San Diego, including myself, received countless texts and messages from mourning friends and family, who felt as if they had lost a relative? Yes, he was undoubtedly ours.
All of us who have ever rooted for the Padres, if we're being honest, would probably admit that they have been a wretched franchise. Up until Gwynn's arrival, the most notable thing about them was a chicken mascot. Dave Winfield could have been a beloved player, but he left to pursue Yankees riches.
That's what made Gwynn so unique. He had the opportunity to leave, and he chose not to do so. He turned down more money to stay in San Diego. Very quickly, Gwynn became the most redeeming thing about the team. Most of the time, he was the only reason to watch.
Gwynn was everything that the franchise was not: He remained loyal even while the team often traded many of its stars. He was an all-time great for a team mostly stuck in failure. He never struck out for a team that always seemed to swing and miss in some way or another.
He was loyal for a fan base that often couldn't even be bothered enough to care about the team. Gwynn mostly played in front of empty home stadiums where not enough fans cherished his greatness.
It always seemed so sad that Gwynn had gotten his 3,000th hit in front of a sparse crowd in Montreal. He warranted a grander celebration. Instead all he got was warm applause from the announced crowd of 13,540 at the Olympic Stadium. Ultimately it was fitting. He was never appreciated enough.
But the accomplishments are undeniable: 3,141 hits, good for 19th all time; a .338 batting average, which ranks 18th all time, and is the highest of any player whose career started after 1939; and 15 career All-Star Game appearances in 20 years. Remarkably, Gwynn never struck out more than 40 times in a season. His .394 batting average during the strike-shortened 1994 season is the highest since Ted Williams hit .406 in 1941.
The Padres, nor their fans, never really deserved Gwynn. We were lucky that he never left us, even during his weakest moments. He was the baseball head coach at San Diego State, an announcer for the Padres and an ever present icon, even while undergoing debilitating cancer treatment.
He was the perfect ambassador for a city, that like him, often went overlooked.
Gwynn's slate as a player was not completely clean. Several former teammates accused him of being selfish. But the great ones are always selfish in some way. That's what it took to be a superstar. Yet Gwynn could never be accused of being ill-prepared or not working hard enough. Gwynn was so obsessed with being great that he revolutionized the game through his use of video at a time when such a thing was unheard of. He would often cart heavy video equipment on the road so that he could scout opposing pitchers or so he could review some of his own at-bats. Now every team in the majors heavily uses video and players travel with iPads to scout pitchers and at-bats.
But his greatest accomplishment may have been what he did for San Diego. Gwynn most likely single-handedly saved baseball in the city. Without him, it's conceivable to think that the franchise might have moved elsewhere. Instead, now a modest but ardent Padres fan base waits for the next superstar to capture the city's heart like Gwynn once did. It's likely no one will ever do so.
The greatest thrill of my professional life was the first time I ever interviewed Gwynn several years ago. I had only known him as a fan. But as part of a story I had been reporting about left-handed hitters facing left-handed pitchers, I luckily ran into him at Petco Park.
We spoke for more than an hour in the dugout. Near the end of the conversation, which had ended only because the security guards were clearing the dugout for the start of the game, I told Gwynn how much I had idolized him as a kid. I told him how I wished I had grown up left-handed like him. I told him how I had gone to his offseason baseball clinic, how often I had gone out of the way to get his autograph and how many times I had skipped class in high school just to watch him play.
Gwynn smiled and thanked me for being a fan, and he seemed genuinely touched even though he had probably heard the same story countless times from boys, men, who had been in awe of his presence. That was the reward for his loyalty. No San Diego fan would ever have a bad thing to say about him. Gwynn would only see admiration in life, and now in death. He would always be ours.
