Hello I'm trying to make some kind of tool for an school website, what I need to do is to make students take a test and according to what are the results (27 posibilities) they get a set of activities (questions) according to their level which they can solve in around 3 months logging periodically to the website, plus I need teachers to log and look at the reports.
Now, I'm a graphic designer myself so my skills are mostly html5 and css3 and I know some php (edit existing ones only) and javascript (jquery) as well, most people tell me that I need a CMS to do the tool but all I find is CMS for display like blogs or news websites which I think aren't useful for me because the website is already made in html and css3 only (I need to add an extra page for the tool)
I understand I need to create users and give them special rights according to what type of user they are and I also understand that I need a database where I can store all my questions.
What is the best way to do this? what do you suggest me?

JJ Abrams strikes back with a darker film than the first chapter of his "Star Trek" reboot.
Kirk and co. fight for survival in space as they face their greatest enemy yet in a big budget action packed summer spectacular.
Starfleet is severely crippled when a man named Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch) bombs a research facility, and then makes a direct assault on Starfleet Headquarters, killing many of its top officers and officials. After Scotty (Simon Pegg) discerns where a fleeing Harrison transported himself to, Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) and the crew of the Enterprise are assigned to travel to the distant planet and obliterate him from afar using a new, technologically advanced torpedo.
Unfortunately for them, the planet that Harrision has hidden himself on is the Klingon homeworld.
Kirk, Spock (Zachary Quinto) and Bones (Karl Urban) will have to decide whether assassinating a man without a trial is something that they're willing to do. Further, the act of aggression against the Klingons could launch an interstellar war. They'll also face challenges when they discover the true identity of Harrison, and the nature of the weapons programs that created the torpedos they've been given. Before it's all said and done, the Enterprise and crew will be fighting for its very survival. With the help of Uhura (Zoe Saldana), Chekov (Anton Yelchin), Sulu (John Cho) and their new science officer Carol Wallace (Alice Eve), Kirk will have to find a way to keep the Enterprise in one piece after being outmatched and outgunned.
As with most second installments, "Into Darkness" is a much darker film than the first offering in the series (if the title didn't give that away). The crew of the Enterprise is given a morally questionable mission in response to a terrorist attack, and wind up in a fight for their lives against enemies both within and without. Though still not without its share of comedic beats, the tone is much more serious this time out.
Following the pattern of the first Abrams' Trek offering, "Into Darkness" is an action packed film filled with death-defying leaps, phaser battles and Starship shootouts. There are plenty of fist fights, a couple of bomb disarmament countdowns, and of course, the requisite engine room emergency, where the engines need to be brought back on-line or else the ship will be demolished and everyone on board will die. It's a big budget action movie in space; light on the sci-fi concepts, heavy on the adrenaline. I may prefer my "Trek" a little more thought-provoking and character based, but I can't deny the thrills and chills presented here.
The reboot crew lives up to their performances in the first film; some are excellent at reprising the roles they've been given (Quinto, Urban) others not as much (Pine, Yelchin, Saldana), but they all work fine together onscreen if you're willing to not compare them to their original counterparts. Benedict Cumberbatch is a seething, scowling villain. He's short on charisma but long on menace. Alice Eve brings some "pretty" to the table, but not much more. As an ensemble, however, they more than get the job done together. They manage to stand out and apart amidst an array of action beats, imparting charm and drama in the downtime.
"Into Darkness" also features a number of callbacks to the original TV series and films, particularly to the second movie, "The Wrath of Khan". Some of these worked for me, and left me smirking at being in on an in-joke, others had me rolling my eyes and wishing the new series would cut the cord to the past completely.
Regardless, the film winds up being just the type of summer spectacular you would hope for. It's plot isn't exactly airtight, but it has deft enough sleight of hand to keep your mind off of its flaws and focused on the fun.

Peter Peterson necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 215 diseños de 57 diseñadores freelance.
Indigenous Sails
Indigenous Sails is an association working for the preservation of exotic sailing ships in the developing world, like Arabian dhows, Brazilian jangadas and Polynesian outriggers. The organization promotes new and different ways of operating these traditional local sailing vessels, with the aim the survival of these ships and the local maritime traditions they represent.
We need a logo that can be used for the internet (website, emails) and in print (business cards and letters). This logo should contain the name of the association – Indigenous Sails – and preferably some sail shapes of traditional sailing boats. Three sail shapes could be put in the logo, but we are open for other options too.
Check on this blogspot-site for a list of 12 pictures of some of the sails of these exotic boats. Paste the following URL in the search bar of your browser (not in Google, its not on a search engine):
and it should pop up. Also check out the older messages on this blog, there should be twelve pictures in total. Do not start to design something before you´ve seen the pics of the sails. If you have problem accessing them send us on firstname.lastname@example.com
Try to be creative with these sails!
Although the main users of especially the website will be Western male boating aficionados between 30 and 60 years of age, the official target audience of the project are high end companies in the international sailing vessel manufacturing sector. They as potential sponsors need to become interested in becoming associated with Indigenous Sails. Therefore the logo should have a business-like appeal and convey the message that these exotic boats are not something dusty destined for museums but instead are alive that have a future.
The files we will require are:
- Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
- Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
– vector design,
– the logo must also work in black and white.
Please do not use stock images or clip art in the logo, and only use work that can be fully transferred to us upon winning the contest. Looking forward to see your creative ideas!

This resource provides energy models from the Advanced Energy Design Guide (AEDG) for Medium to Big Box Retail Buildings that have been incorporated into Building Component Library (BCL). The AEDG series provides design guidance for buildings that use 50% less energy than those built to the requirements of the ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2004 commercial code, and are specific to prominent building types across each of the eight U.S. climate zones. More information on the AEDGs can be found at http://energy.gov/eere/buildings/advanced-energy-design-guides and http://www.ashrae.org/aedg.The Building Component Library (BCL) is the U.S. Department of Energy's comprehensive online searchable library of energy modeling building blocks and descriptive metadata. Novice users and seasoned practitioners can use the freely available and uniquely identifiable components to create energy models and cite the sources of input data, which will increase the credibility and reproducibility of their simulations. More information about the BCL can be found at https://bcl.nrel.gov.
These models are EnergyPlus version 6.0 and were completed in 2011. A Technical Support Document (TSD) that details these models can be found at http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy13osti/52589.pdf. This Technical Support Document describes the process and methodology for the development of the Advanced Energy Design Guide for Medium to Big Box Retail Buildings: Achieving 50% Energy Savings Toward a Net Zero Energy Building (AEDG-MBBR). The AEDG-MBBR is intended to provide recommendations for achieving 50% whole-building energy savings in retail stores over levels achieved by following ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings (Standard 90.1-2004). The AEDG-MBBR was developed in collaboration with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES), the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), and the U.S. Department of Energy.

A suburban New York newspaper has removed from its website the names and addresses of residents with pistol permits.
Publication of the permit data last month had produced a storm of outrage from gun owners. It also quickly resulted in a new state measure meant to protect the privacy of permit holders.
Janet Hasson, president and publisher of The Journal News Media Group, announced the move Friday in an emailed statement. She said the new law does not require removing the data, but "doing so complies with its spirit."
The Journal News had published at LoHud.com interactive maps pinpointing thousands of permit holders in Westchester and Rockland County. The maps remained online late Friday but could no longer be manipulated to find names and addresses.

PHILADELPHIA -By studying medication orders that are withdrawn ("discontinued") by physicians within 45 minutes of their origination, researchers at The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have demonstrated a systematic and efficient method of identifying prescribing errors. The method, they say, has value to screen for medication errors and as a teaching tool for physicians and physicians-in-training. The report is published in the July/August 2008 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association.
Dr. Ross Koppel and colleagues at Penn's Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology used a hospital's computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system to track prescriptions that were discontinued within 45 minutes. They found the rate of errors among the quickly stopped orders was 66%. The Rx problem may have been detected by the ordering physician, another physician, a pharmacist, or a nurse, but the prescribing physician issues the stop order.
The University of Pennsylvania team examined each order stopped within a two-hour time period, and when relevant, each subsequent order. Then they interviewed the prescribing physicians, asking about why they stopped the orders-looking at both who caught the error and the doctor's own explanation for the change. Often the reason for the change was obvious, e.g., a medication for the wrong eye, or a dose that was far too large. Sometimes the reasons were more subtle, e.g., a more appropriate antibiotic. Dr. Koppel notes the classes of drugs most likely to be quickly discontinued made sense because they were often among the most difficult-to-prescribe: low therapeutic index drugs, insulin, antiretrovirals, antineoplastics, and immunosuppressive drugs.
Prof. Koppel (a sociologist by training) said that although they originally focused on the two-hour period, they found that 45 minutes was the most efficient time cut for the measure. "Because this type of analysis is so new, we didn't know how long the post-ordering timeframe should be until we did it." By analyzing the discontinued orders within 15-minute time blocks, we were able to glean insights into the most efficacious time parameter to maximize ratios of inappropriate-to-appropriate medication orders.
"Also, we did not count orders that were stopped within the first minute. That's so we didn't include typos and the kind of errors that would be the equivalent to tearing up a flawed paper prescription when writing it," said Koppel.
The researchers had a live transmission of every medication order as it was written, and were able to interview the ordering physicians within hours, often within minutes. The team conducted the research over the course of two months, selecting times and days that reflected the physicians' ordering patterns at the hospital.
Currently, methods of identifying prescribing errors are plagued with inaccuracies stemming from several systematic biases. Self-report and reports by colleagues are known to substantially under-represent reality. Examining medical records misses errors linked to undocumented diagnoses, as well as being time-consuming and expensive. Other manifestations of medication error go unrecognized, write the authors, because symptoms are often complex, patients have multiple problems and polypharmacy may obscure causes and outcomes. The paper identifies eight methods of detecting medication error and summarizes their shortcomings. Koppel added that "prescription errors are often obscured by the messy reality of illness, multi-faceted treatments, and the rapid pace and complexity of an acute care hospital"
The measure proposed here, while preliminary, indicates that 66% of prescriptions discontinued within 45 minutes after their origination are inappropriate. Even beyond the ratio comparisons, the value of this measure is several-fold: When linked to a CPOE system, it is rapid, constant (24/7), and does not depend on possibly biased evaluators, self-report, or others' reports. Data collection is also cost-free as part of a CPOE system.
Moreover, suggested one of the study's co-authors, Brian L. Strom, MD, MPH, Chairman and Professor of the Center for Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics at Penn, "although the remaining proportion of rapidly stopped orders could not be substantiated as inappropriate, it could be argued that almost all of these orders were perceived as problematic by their authors--that is why they stopped them."
Difficulties identifying and measuring medication errors are a constant theme of the hospital patient safety literature. Many scholars indicate such difficulties are critical barriers to addressing medication errors. Koppel added that "Our method does not replace the others, but may add a technique that appears both efficient and objective. It can identify and help physicians who are having problems with a particular group of medications or patient types and can help post-graduate medical educators focus on areas requiring additional training."
PENN Medicine is a $3.5 billion enterprise dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care. PENN Medicine consists of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine (founded in 1765 as the nation's first medical school) and the University of Pennsylvania Health System.
Penn's School of Medicine is currently ranked #4 in the nation in U.S.News & World Report's survey of top research-oriented medical schools; and, according to most recent data from the National Institutes of Health, received over $379 million in NIH research funds in the 2006 fiscal year. Supporting 1,400 fulltime faculty and 700 students, the School of Medicine is recognized worldwide for its superior education and training of the next generation of physician-scientists and leaders of academic medicine.

Here is a little video showing off my collection of vintage rookies cards
I made a gaff in the video, I said Bill Russell has a rookie in 1969 Topps, I meant Bill Bradley.
Here is a little video showing off my collection of vintage rookies cards
I made a gaff in the video, I said Bill Russell has a rookie in 1969 Topps, I meant Bill Bradley.
Posted in Uncategorized
I was on the internets today, doing a little world wide webbing and decided to take a look at a little auction site I like to call ebays.
I found two items I would like to share.
Number one…
Yup, a tennis ball signed by NBA HOFer Isiah Thomas... you are reading that right, a tennis ball.
Two things:
First off, a tennis ball is a terrible matrix for an auto. Ya see it's fuzzy so the auto gets all warped and, pardon my language, shitty.
Second, why have Isiah Thomas sign a tennis ball!? That doesn't make no sense!
I almost want to spend 25 bucks just to show people how dumb it is.
The next item is very interesting…
It's an empty case of 1952 Topps high numbers.
That is kinda cool as an oddity but look at the listing here… an empty box for 45k! You can buy a complete '52 Topps set for that!
The write up is awesome. It states the box is from a case Mr. Mint found and opened pulling some of the highest graded Mantles ever. Cool for sure but not 45k cool.
It states that a case yields about 50 Mantles. Holy Crappolla!
I have random piles of cards all over the place, here is a recap of some of the gems I found hidden in my piles.
The 2013 football card season was one of the worst in memory.
There were no big rookies and as a result all the products suffered. This was made even worse by the fact we came off one of the better rookies years in recent memory.
2013 also called attention to one cold hard fact about football cards, rookies in particular and that is…
It's all about the QBs.
When we say 2012 was a good rookie year we mean a good rookie QB year.
They already have 5 pro bowls and a Super Bowl ring between them.
…last year we had Geno Smith…
Even when you look at guys that had good rookies seasons such as…
The NFL overall ROY winner, his cards are worth very little.
His RPM up there sells for less than $20 and he is a WR! one of the illustrious skill positions!
Even Eddie Lacy…
…another ROY winner (NFL awards are very confusing) and the big rookie RB has rookie autos for less than $20. The guy rushed for almost 1200 yards and 11 TDs! Not to mention he plays for a team with a rabid fan following,
Sure the hobby isn't all about money but come on. The bottom dropped right out of the non QB card market last year.
There is some hope this year but the decline is troubling.
Perhaps the fact so many football players have careers cut short by injury and the continues concerns over concussions has collectors being cautious.
No matter what I am gonna be a little tighter with my FB card money this coming season… who am I kidding, no I'm not and neither is anyone else.
This is a little old…
I have a conundrum.
I have a couple hundered bucks sitting in my paypal account and i am not sure what to do.
I can keep adding to it and try and push up to buy a nice low grade 1967 Tom Seaver rookie
Like this
I could grab a handful of mid-high grade cards of a few '70s-'80s non baseball legends like these
I don't like group breaks.
I have only been in one and that was enough.
I also don't think they are good for the hobby. They push the high end higher. Doing so widens the gap between the average collector and the rich people that can gamble hundreds or thousands on a ultra high end break. It's like a microcosm of the US, the 1% and the 99%
Not to sound like a old timer but there was a time when anyone could buy the same 50 cent pack of Topps and have the same shot at the big rookie card. Now most of us can just look on as people with cash to burn pay hundreds and thousands on boxes to try and hit the big patch auto numbered to 49 or whatever.
I can honestly say I took more enjoyments pulling a 1987 Bo Jackson rookie from a wax pack back in 1989 then I do pulling a low numbered parch auto of a top draft pick today.
I just wish the hobby would pull back from ultra high end. I don't mean back to just regular releases like we had in the late '80s, but enough with $3,500 boxes with 8 cards. It only pushes the top and leaves the rest of us looking up. Even breaks are just a way for average collectors to try and taste the ultra high end, and most seem to walk away less than satisfied.

Jane is in her 70s, a retired widow who spends her days doing volunteer work in the East Bay and fussing over her grandchildren. She also downloads porn illegally over BitTorrent.
That, at least, is the claim in an April lawsuit against her and dozens of other Jane and John Does by a Chicago law firm that's been busily filing similar cases around the country.
It's also made a habit of strongly suggesting that these "digital pirates" settle out of court for several thousand dollars. Letters to defendants helpfully remind them the amount is below what they'd probably pay in attorney's fees and that settling would avoid publicly linking their names to pornography.
This particular Jane (who didn't want her real name used for that very reason) said she's never downloaded porn and doesn't know what a BitTorrent is. She can't afford an attorney to make her case, but she's not about to settle either.
"It smacks of extortion," she said.
Some legal observers agree.
Steele Hansmeier PLLC filed the case against "Does 1-46" in U.S. District Court in San Francisco on behalf of Hard Drive Productions. The growing law firm has now lodged complaints on behalf of adult companies against about 10,000 defendants, partner John Steele said.
When asked about the allegations that their tactics amount to a shakedown, Steele said his firm is simply fighting back against the widespread copyright theft that threatens to put his clients out of business.
Other porn companies, media businesses and law firms have embraced similar strategies, which San Francisco digital rights group Electronic Frontier Foundation describes as "copyright trolling."
Low settlement fees
The mass filings, embarrassing allegations and low settlement fees are all carefully calibrated to get people to pay up, regardless of whether they've done anything wrong, said Matt Zimmerman, senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
"It puts these defendants in a tough spot, especially with the coercive element of the porn allegation," he said.
The June letter to Jane emphasized that copyright owners can recover up to $150,000 in damages per file. It mentions the possibility of naming her several times. And it invited her to quickly and quietly settle matters by paying $3,400 via credit card.
A law firm representative followed up with a direct phone call to Jane just before the settlement offer expired.
To be clear, many - and maybe even most - of those accused in these cases probably downloaded the files. But it's easy to imagine scenarios where some didn't, yet still feel pressured to settle.
Like, say, a widow in her 70s who, when asked by a reporter, didn't know whether her wireless Internet service was password protected. She did know, however, that a handful of young men lived next door.
The letter from Steele suggests that someone else using an unsecured wireless network isn't a viable legal defense for the account holder, noting that downloaders of child pornography have employed this excuse to no avail.
But that's deliberately misleading, Zimmerman said.
"There is no legal doctrine that says you're responsible for what somebody else does on your Internet connection," he said.
In fact, there are examples of the precise opposite occurring.
Open networks
Earlier this year, charges were dropped against a man in Buffalo, N.Y., accused of downloading child pornography, after police turned their attention to a neighbor allegedly using the man's open Wi-Fi network.
Jane said she'll go to trial without an attorney if necessary and "throw herself on the mercy of the court."
"I'd say to the judge, 'I have no idea how this happened,' " she said. "If Sony can get hacked, if the Pentagon can get hacked, my goodness, what chance does an individual have?"
But Steele's not buying such excuses. In an interview, he said anyone who fails to secure their Wi-Fi is as responsible for the subsequent crimes or tragedies as a parent who leaves a loaded gun within reach of a 3-year old.
Of course, nobody dies when the teenager next doors nabs a wireless signal for a glimpse of breasts.
None of the cases pursued by Steele Hansmeier has reached a final verdict at trial, but the firm has moved forward with claims against individuals, Steele said. Most people simply decide to settle, he added.
Steele stressed that the vast majority of these people have committed a crime and the few who haven't have every opportunity to defend themselves.
"There's no sort of sneaky, in-the-shadows efforts here," he said.

LION Walk promotes town-gown harmony, health and safety
LION Walk promotes town-gown harmony, health and safety
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – On Thursday, the bond between Penn State's University Park campus and the surrounding community will be strengthened one doorstep at a time.
For the sixth year, the Living in One Neighborhood (LION) Walk will bring warm greetings and helpful information to students and permanent residents in State College from the University and borough.
"The collaborative spirit between Penn State and State College is in full view during the LION Walk," said University President Rodney Erickson. "It's fulfilling for all involved and begins the school year on a collegial note. The walk promotes safety, responsibility and respect, and also is a lot of fun."
A collaboration of the Office of Student Affairs, the Off-Campus Student Union and the Borough of State College, the theme this year is "Health and Safety." From 5:15 to 8 p.m. Aug. 29, students joined by borough and University leaders and law enforcement officials will travel door-to-door in the Highlands, College Heights and Holmes-Foster neighborhoods. The Nittany Lion mascot will be making rounds, too.
"The LION Walk brings together a diverse group of people who may not have the chance to interact on a daily basis, but who share a sense of pride in their community," said Tom Fountaine, State College borough manager. "This yearly event is a chance for leaders in the community to kick off the academic year by starting a community conversation between residents and to encourage community members to continue to have an open dialogue with their neighbors throughout the year."
More than 100 volunteers are expected to visit more than 700 homes. Each residence will be supplied with a packet that includes a USB flash drive storing the Borough's 20-page 2013 Neighbor Guide with safety tips, important phone numbers, details of various municipal ordinances and other helpful material; a first aid kit from the Penn State Office of Off-Campus Living; and informational magnets from the likes of University Health Services, the Centre County Women's Resource Center and Centre LifeLink.
Preparing for her second walk, Kate Curley, a graduate assistant in the Office of the Associate Vice President of Student Affairs, said the event promotes mutual respect as State College's population drastically changes with the start of the new semester.
"The walk reminds people to meet their neighbors and start the year off on the right foot," said Curley. "Doing so, town and gown relationships are formed and reinforced at the onset so they can continue to be maintained rather than strained later on."
"We look forward to the LION Walk each year," said Tyrone Parham, chief of University Police. "We see it as a great welcome back opportunity for our students and warm greetings to our year-round residents. We have the opportunity to welcome students with a smile and share important safety information, hear concerns and answer questions."
Since the walk's inaugural year in 2008, University and borough representatives have come together on multiple projects including The Partnership: Campus & Community United Against Dangerous Drinking and the Off-Campus Housing Fair.
The walk is an energizing start to the semester, said State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham.
"It has deepened our town's relationship with Penn State Student Affairs, which in turn has led to more town-gown events and close cooperation with Penn State's Off-Campus Student Union," she said. "In short, this event has increased the integration of off-campus students into our community, the shared goal of State College and Penn State."

"A masterpiece…Baer's brilliant analysis of Sunni versus Shia, Arab versus Iranian, and Christian versus Muslim is shocking, revealing, and provocative. Baer lifts the veil of Western media hype and challenges the simplistic solutions offered by 'experts' whose vision is blurred by the past. Through his knowledge, long-term experience, and ability to assess the changing landscape of this vital region, he not only shatters the foundations of conventional thinking, but also offers a practicable blueprint for turning things around."
—John Perkins, author of the New York Times bestseller Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
"The most important and original book on the Middle East to appear in many years. Baer's subject is the growing power of Iran; his goal is ending the pattern of American failure; his message is that we've been backing the wrong horse. This is a book McCain and Obama should ponder."
—Thomas Powers, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Man Who Kept the Secrets and Intelligence Wars
"The Devil We Know, Bob Baer has once again peered into the future and has brought back uncomfortable truths that won't satisfy any partisan. But his book does force us to do something that, unfortunately, doesn't come naturally to the chattering classes. Think."
—James Risen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration
"An important text studded with keen insights into a nation about which America remains dangerously misinformed."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Timely and provocative…adds an important perspective to a crucial international debate."
—Publishers Weekly
"Challenges conventional wisdom…[a] timely and provocative analysis."

Dreaming a New World of Work
On the surface of things, now might not seem like the best time for me to be thinking about my brother's work life. Willie's been struggling with self-injurious and aggressive behaviors, but I'm thinking about his work just the same.
I'm thinking about it in part because it's problematic, and in part because I need to believe that someday, Willie will be free from these rages, able to pursue a more fulfilling work experience. I long for him to use his talents, to grow his gifts. Yet even so, I realize that his difficult behaviors are not the only thing standing in the way of that dream.
My family wants more for Willie in his work life. He's over-qualified for his current job, which consists of contract work from local businesses. His tasks are repetitive; he shreds x-rays almost every day. While my family is thankful that Willie has any job at all given his difficult behaviors, we know that, given his skills and talents, he could do much more.
This being the case, my parents strive to provide Willie with a full extra-curricular life. He swims laps at the YMCA, goes bowling with a league, lifts weights, and attends movie nights and respite weekends. And earlier this year, Willie and my mom wanted to volunteer for a local animal shelter together. (Willie loves dogs, and can identify any dog by breed in seconds.) To make a long story short, the volunteering didn't happen. The shelter wasn't willing (or able) to make accommodations for mom and Willie to volunteer.
It was unfortunate, but it was also no surprise. Many businesses and nonprofits aren't willing to make the kinds of changes (large or small) required to welcome adults with special needs into the workforce. Few businesses are willing to do what Steamers Coffeehouse does; in the words of founder Athan Miller: "We have to build inefficiencies into our business model."
Our culture worships efficiency. We bow down to bottom lines. And the thought that everyone deserves a shot at a fulfilling work experience seems wildly idealistic given the current economic situation. There are definite societal prejudices against people with autism and other disabilities, but there is also a sense in which the entire American workplace is a system ill-prepared to serve the needs of its workers, with or without special needs.
Our workplaces aren't more inclusive because welcoming people with special needs demands a willingness (and ability) to design a career experience around an individual's specific set of gifts and needs. Few workplaces are willing do that for any of their workers.
Most businesses in the United States don't allow themselves to believe that traditional models should—or even can—change in response to the changing needs of its workforce. Consider: Businesses still operate on the 9-to-5 model that originated during the Industrial Revolution … and if they don't, the hours are even longer. Unlike many other first-world nations, the United States doesn't allow for "luxuries" that would help to keep workers and their families healthy (things like significant vacation time, sabbaticals, reasonable maternity and paternity leaves, or free access to healthcare). Far too many people feel like square pegs in round holes. They face exhausting commutes, mundane tasks, and tangled bureaucracies. Without strong mentorship, their talents go ignored. If they complain, they're told to be grateful that they have a job at all.
But what if welcoming individuals with special needs is exactly the catalyst that could transform the workplace as we know it? What if the kinds of changes we'd need to make to welcome such individuals would actually benefit all of us?
It would take a great deal of patience, thought, and planning to effect such a change. But I have to believe that it can be done. We all have something to offer one another. When we cling to rigid structures and outdated, isolating policies, we are missing out on the gifts that people with special needs could bring to our workplaces.
And, like so many others who know and love someone with special needs, I'm willing to work to make that happen. Why? Because I hope against hope that my brother can—and should—do more than shred x-rays.

24/7 Wall St. has examined the finances of all forty-three presidents. This article provides net worth figures for each in 2010 dollars. Because a number of presidents, particularly in the early 19th Century, made and lost huge fortunes in a matter of a few years, the number for each man is based on his net worth at its peak.
See the net worths of the American Presidents >
In the case of each president we have taken into account hard assets like land, estimated lifetime savings based on work history, inheritance, homes, and money paid for services, which include things as diverse as their salary as Collector of Customs at the Port of New York to membership on Fortune 500 boards. Royalties on books have also been taken into account, along with ownership of companies and yields from family estates.
The net worth of the presidents varies widely. George Washington was worth over half a billion in today's dollars. Several presidents went bankrupt.
The fortunes of American presidents are tied to the economy in the eras in which they lived. For the first 75 years after Washington's election, presidents generally made money on land, crops, and commodity speculation. A president who owned hundreds or thousands of acres could lose most or all of his property after a few years of poor crop yields. Wealthy Americans occasionally lost all of their money through land speculation—leveraging the value of one piece of land to buy additional property. Since there was no reliable national banking system and almost no liquidity in the value of private companies, land was the asset likely to provide the greatest yield, if the property yielded enough to support the costs of operating the farm or plantation.
Because there was no central banking system and no commodities regulatory framework, markets were subject to panics.
The panic of 1819 was caused by the deep indebtedness of the federal government and a rapid drop in the price of cotton. The immature banking system was forced to foreclose on many farms. The value of the properties foreclosed upon was often low because land without a landowner meant land without a crop yield.
The panic of 1837 caused a depression that lasted six years. It was triggered by a weak wheat crop, a drop in cotton prices, and a leverage bubble in the value of land created by speculation. These factors caused the US economy to go through a multi-year period of deflation.
The sharp fluctuations in the fortunes of the first 14 presidents were a result of the economic times.
Beginning with Millard Fillmore in 1850, the financial history of the presidency entered a new era. Most presidents were lawyers who spent years in public service. They rarely amassed large fortunes and their incomes were often almost entirely from their salaries. From Fillmore to Garfield, these American presidents were distinctly middle class. These men often retired without the money to support themselves in a fashion anywhere close to the one that they had as president. Buchanan, Lincoln, Johnson, Grant, Hayes, and Garfield had almost no net worth at all.
The rise of inherited wealth in the early 20th Century contributed to the fortunes of many presidents, including Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and both of the Bushes. The other significant change to the economy was the advent of large professionally organized corporations. These corporations produced much of the oil, mining, financial, and railroad fortunes amassed at the end of the 19th Century and the beginning of the 20th. The Kennedys were wealthy because of the financial empire built by Joseph Kennedy. Herbert Hoover made millions of dollars as the owner of mining companies.
The stigma of making money from being a retired president also began to disappear. Calvin Coolidge made a large income from his newspaper column. Gerald Ford, who had almost no money when he was a Congressman made a small fortune from serving on the boards of large companies. Clinton made millions of dollars from writing his autobiography.
24/7 Wall St. performed an analysis of presidential finances based on historical sources. Most media evaluations of the net worth of presidents have come up with a very wide range, a spread in which the highest figure was often several times the lowest estimate. Most sources provided no hard figures at all. Most of these efforts have focused largely on the analysis of recent chief executives. That is because it is much easier to calculate figures in a world where assets and incomes are a matter of public record.
One of the most important conclusions of this analysis is that the presidency has little to do with wealth. Several brought huge net worths to the job. Many lost most of their fortunes after leaving office. Some never had any money at all.

To Tell the Truth Freely
Born to slaves in 1862, Ida B. Wells became a fearless antilynching crusader, women's rights advocate, and journalist. Wells's refusal to accept any compromise on racial inequality caused her to be labeled a "dangerous radical" in her day but made her a model for later civil rights activists as well as a powerful witness to the troubled racial politics of her era. In the richly illustrated To Tell the Truth Freely, the historian Mia Bay vividly captures Wells's legacy and life, from her childhood in Mississippi to her early career in late nineteenth-century Memphis and her later life in Progressive-era Chicago.
Wells's fight for racial and gender justice began in 1883, when she was a young schoolteacher who traveled to her rural schoolhouse by rail. Forcibly ejected from her seat on a train one day on account of her race, Wells immediately sued the railroad. Though she ultimately lost her case on appeal in the Supreme Court of Tennessee, the published account of her legal challenge to Jim Crow changed her life, propelling her into a career as an outspoken journalist and social activist. Also a fierce critic of the racial violence that marked her era, Wells went on to launch a crusade against lynching that took her across the United States and eventually to Britain. Though she helped found the NAACP in 1910 after resettling in Chicago, she would not remain a member for long. Always militant in her quest for racial justice, Wells rejected not only Booker T. Washington's accommodationism but also the moderating influence of white reformers within the early NAACP. The life of Ida B. Wells and her enduring achievements are dramatically recovered in Mia Bay's To Tell the Truth Freely.

| Conditions:
Proposed Natural Treatments | Herbs and Supplements to Avoid | References
Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland releases excessive amounts of thyroid hormone. Symptoms include the following:
The most common form of hyperthyroidism is Grave's disease. In this condition, the body manufactures antibodies that have the unintended effect of stimulating the thyroid gland. (In another condition, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, the body produces antibodies that decrease thyroid output.) In addition, benign tumors of the thyroid can secrete excessive thyroid hormone on their own (cancerous tumors seldom do). Viral infection of the thyroid (subacute thyroiditis) causes short-lived hyperthyroidism followed by a more prolonged period of hypothyroidism.
Medical treatment of hyperthyroidism is highly effective. In most cases of ongoing hyperthyroidism, radioactive iodine is used to destroy thyroid tissue. This approach is both safe and effective, because almost all the iodine in the body ends up in the thyroid, and therefore the radioactive treatment does not damage any other tissues. Other approaches to hyperthyroidism include drugs to block the effects of high thyroid hormone or to slow thyroid hormone production, as well as, in relatively rare cases, surgery.
Physician supervision is necessary to determine why the thyroid is overactive in order to design a specific treatment plan. None of the treatments discussed in this section actually get to the root of the problem, nor have they been proven effective. Self-treatment of hyperthyroidism is not recommended.
Test tube and animal studies suggest that the herb bugleweed may reduce thyroid hormone by decreasing levels of TSH (the hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland) and by impairing thyroid hormone synthesis.1-5 In addition, bugleweed may block the action of thyroid-stimulating antibodies found in Grave's disease.2
The supplement L-carnitine has shown promise for treating a special form of hyperthyroidism that may occur during the treatment of benign goiter. People with benign goiter often take thyroid hormone pills as treatment. Sometimes successful treatment of this condition requires taking slightly more thyroid hormone than the body needs, resulting in symptoms of mild hyperthyroidism. A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found evidence that use of the supplement L-carnitine could alleviate many of these symptoms.6 This 6-month study evaluated the effects of L-carnitine in 50 women who were taking thyroid hormone for benign goiter. The results showed that a dose of 2 g or 4 g of carnitine daily protected participants' bones and reduced other symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Carnitine is thought to affect thyroid hormone by blocking its action in cells.7
A preliminary trial found some evidence that when the supplement glucomannan is added to standard treatment, normal thyroid hormone levels are restored more rapidly.14
For many people, the most problematic symptom of high thyroid is rapid or irregular heartbeat. In cases of temporary high thyroid levels (as in the viral infection form noted above) conventional treatment may involve simply protecting the heart. Germany's Commission E (the herbal regulating body in that country) has authorized use of the herb motherwort as part of an overall treatment plan for an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).8 Motherwort is said to calm the heart; however, there is no meaningful evidence to indicate that it is effective for the heart-related symptoms of hyperthyroidism (or any other heart-related symptoms).
Royal jelly has been proposed for use in Grave's disease,13 but there is as yet no meaningful evidence that it is effective.
According to one study in animals, the herb ashwaghanda may raise thyroid hormone levels.9 For this reason, it should not be used by people with hyperthyroidism.
Taking excessive kelp, bladderwrack, or other forms of seaweed can cause hyperthyroidism by overloading the body with iodine.10-12

Spreadable deliciousness.
As I mentioned in my last post, I am a firm believer that chocolate and Valentine's Day must be paired together. Of course this does not mean I like giving boxes of chocolates to my loved ones on Valentine's Day...or any other holiday for that matter. I am very fond of homemade gifts, giving and receiving. I think it is much more special to give away a box of chocolate cookies or some homemade nutella. If you have been following Baked Perfection for a while now, you know I have paired up a couple times with OhNuts.com. They offer to send me some nuts and I get to make whatever I want with them. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. This time I decided to go with their hazelnuts and immediately I knew I was going to make homemade nutella. I conveniently found a recipe on the Oh Nuts Blog and went with it. I found the homemade version to be a little nuttier than the store bought stuff, but equally as delicious. As you can see from the photo, I like my nutella with french or sourdough bread, but it is great on absolutely anything.
Homemade Nutella
recipe adapted from OhNuts.com
recipe yields about 1.5 cups
2.5 ounces (approx. 2/3 cups) roasted unsalted hazelnuts
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
3 ounces (approx. 1/2 cup) semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 tablespoon honey
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place hazelnuts on an ungreased baking sheet and place in oven to toast. Stir every 3-4 minutes until brown and fragrant, approximately 10-12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Add the cooled hazelnuts to your food processor. Continue to process for several minutes (5 or more) until the hazelnuts are processed into a liquid. Scrape down the sides of your processor and process again until there are no lumps remaining.
Meanwhile, combine the chocolate, condensed milk, and honey in a heat proof bowl. Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate, condensed milk, and honey together. Stir the mixture frequently until evenly melted and smooth.
Add the warm chocolate mixture to the food processor with the liquified hazelnuts. Process for 1 -2 minutes until smooth and the mixture becomes shiny and smooth.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one month.

fair enough, i looked up the terms.Ñāṇa wrote:I mean that the entire notion of inherently existent things is rooted in ignorance. This is why one has to penetrate conditioned arising in reverse sequence in order to eliminate the view that things have inherent existence. And an arahant has done just that. Therefore an arahant can use conventional language without forgetting that s/he is merely employing nominal designations.
some things are designations or all things are designations?
it would be pretty strange to say that ignorance is a designation, or form is a designation, since designations are in part just names and have their own place and function within dependent arising (saṅkhārakkhandha). if you then say that momentariness is a mere designation then .. this is a serious problem. its as bad as saying the form aggregate is only a designation. is that what you assert?

I went to Connecticut last week to the Mohegan Sun Casino to see the Scorpions, with special guests Tesla, on the last leg of their farewell/retirement tour: The Final Sting World Tour. Nothing is worse than hearing that one of your favorite bands is calling it a career but I've learned that most bands can't stay away for long (KISS comes to mind!). Unfortunately, the Scorpions are calling it a career and have been touring the world for the last three years to give fans all over a final taste of their great live show.
Is this really the end for the Scorpions? It's anyone's guess really. With both founding members Rudolf Schenker (guitars) and Klaus Meine (lead vocals) reaching age 64, and putting in 40 years into the band, I can see the point. Even long time guitarist Matthias Jabs (who joined in 1979) is in his mid-50s so maybe retirement is well deserved. Maybe this is the end of touring and perhaps the band will continue to record new music? No one knows except the band but I wasn't risking my chance to see the Scorpions live one last time. Last summer they came to New Hampshire but the drive was close to 4 hours so I didn't bother…..this time around it was only a 45 minute drive to Connecticut. I waited until a couple of days before the show to buy tickets and my friend and I got great seats (for only $44 each!) for what was one of three concerts left on the tour's U.S. itinerary.
Tesla setlist:
Cumin' Atcha Live
Edison's Medicine
Hang Tough
Heaven's Trail (No Way Out)
Mama's Fool
Signs (cover of the Five Man Electrical Band)
Love Song
Modern Day Cowboy
Little Suzi (cover of Ph.D.)
You aren't going to get a better opening band than Tesla and, to be honest, I expected a third band to open before Tesla. Tesla is still a headline act in small arenas and theaters so this was a great way to start. The band came out and just played, not a lot of bullshit talk between songs (KISS again!), just flat out, well-played Hard Rock. The setlist is your basic shortened hits package but it was cool to hear 'Mama's Fool' off 1994's BUST A NUT record…..that album always gets forgotten by many fans. You can't really go wrong with big hits like 'Love Song', 'Modern Day Cowboy' and Hang Tough' but I could have done without 'Signs'. I know it's the band's second biggest hit ('Love Song' is #1) but it's a cover and I never liked the original either…..I've hated that song since 1990 when the band released FIVE MAN ACOUSTICAL JAM and the single was all over the radio. Good to hear 'Edison's Medicine' because I was kind of expecting either 'What You Give' or 'Gettin' Better' but I was glad to hear the PSYCHOTIC SUPPER (1991) track. Of course the band ended with my favorite tune, 'Little Suzi', complete with the full acoustic intro like on the album. I know, I know…..it's a cover song too but I never knew that until a few years ago so I'm going to give it a pass. The band was tight, they sounded great and they just plain kicked ass! nothing is better than a band coming out and just playing without all the gimmicks and fanfare (sorry, KISS reference again!). One last thought, for being the oldest guy in the band, Jeff Keith looks and sounds just like he did back in 1986.
Scorpions setlist:
Sting In The Tail
Make It Real
Is There Anybody There?
The Zoo
Coast To Coast (instrumental)
Loving You Sunday Morning
Rhythm Of Love
Wind Of Change
Raised On Rock
Tease Me Please Me
Hit Between The Eyes
Kottak Attack (drum solo)
Six String Sting (Matthias Jabs guitar solo)
Big City Nights
Still Loving You
No One Like You
Rock You Like A Hurricane
Now if you're going to see the Scorpions in the U.S. then THIS is the setlist you want to hear! The band played hit after hit effortlessly and they sounded perfect. 'Rhythm Of Love', 'Wind Of Change', 'Tease Me Please Me', 'Hit Between The Eyes', 'Big City Nights' and the entire encore…..that was as long as Tesla's set and it was MTV video and radio hit time as if we were back in 1991 and the band was touring then. The cool thing is that they had just as much energy now as they did then! The band did throw in a few older songs (but nothing before 1979!) with 'Make It Real', 'Loving You Sunday Morning', the 'Coast To Coast' instrumental and the signature song 'The Zoo' so it felt like I was witnessing the WORLD WIDE LIVE album from 1985 right in my face. The big surprise for me was that they played 'Is There Anybody There?' from LOVEDRIVE (1979)…..a great track but I figured the band would play either 'Lovedrive' or 'Another Piece of Meat'. Actually, I was a little disappointed that they didn't play either but you can only fit so much into two hours and they might have omitted the two newer songs 'Sting In The Tail' and 'Raised On Rock'. Even though they are retiring, it was good to see the Scorpions playing new material and promoting the STING IN THE TAIL album. Even though the record is a couple of years old now, this Final Sting World Tour is also about promoting that album and that makes the band more legit in my eyes rather than a straight up nostalgia act.
Now the stage show was minimal because it's all about the music but the band did have an amazing light show with plenty of big screens to see all the action but what set the band apart is the runway down the center of the floor that put the band right in the middle of the crowd. Everyone was up and down that part of the stage bringing the concert right in your face! There was no pyro which was fine because the lighting was really great, probably one of the best stage lighting programs I've seen in my 30+ year concert career. The band had a cool historical intro on the video screens with some big historical moments in Scorpions history like the US Festival in 1983 and the Berlin Wall coming down in the early '90s but the best part of the on screen entertainment was during James Kottak's drum solo. The Kottak Attack was your basic drum solo, complete with drum riser that mimicked the Peter Criss drum riser during his days with KISS, but what made it cool was Kottak was filmed re-enacting some of the band's most famous album covers: LOVE AT FIRST STING, FLY TO THE RAINBOW, LOVEDRIVE, ANIMAL MAGNETISM, PURE INSTINCT, CRAZY WORLD, BLACKOUT and more. To see Kottak in the limo with a woman and then is be a mannequin that his hand was stuck to with bubblegum…..that was a priceless rendition of the LOVEDRIVE cover! Add the antics to his powerful drumming and it's a hard combination to beat. His rhythm partner Pavel Macidowa helped him keep the beat and added some youthful (and I mean 40's youthful!) energy to the show. The older guard of Schenker, Meine and Jabs weren't to be out done because they were running around the stage and they sounded perfect. Schenker and Jabs sounded flawless and I seriously mean that. Schenker rocked back and forth maiming that Flying V while Matthias effortlessy made his Gibson Explorer sing…..two totally underrated guitar players and definitely overshadowed by two other famous Scorpions alums Uli Jon Roth and Rudolf's brother Michael Schenker. I personally think Klaus Meine stole the show because I expected a slight drop off vocally but the man can sing as well as he did back in the day and it seemed effortless. You've got guys like Paul Stanley, Don Dokken, even Geoff Tate, who have had great singing voices throughout their careers but now have trouble in concert…..not Klaus though, the guy was a 64 year old singing machine that didn't sound a day over 30!
All in all…..a great show. Both bands rocked hard and proved that good Rock music stands the test of time. It's a shame that bands have to get older and eventually retire, the Scorpions proved that after 40 years they are still masters of the arena. If this is the end, I'm glad I was able to catch them one last time.

R.I.P. Dennis Flemion of the Frogs
Update 7/12: Fox 6 Milwaukee reports (via Brooklyn Vegan) that Flemion's body has been found in Wind Lake.
Dennis Flemion of cult heroes the Frogs is missing and presumed dead, Matador Records' Matablog has announced. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that the 57-year-old resident of West Allis, Wisconsin went missing after going for a swim on a lake in Racine County on Saturday. (Thanks to Joseph Kyle for the tip.)
Brothers Dennis and Jimmy Flemion formed the Frogs in 1980. They released albums on Matador and Homestead, among other labels, and became notorious for wearing flamboyant costumes during concerts and for their controversial lyrics about gender and race. They gained many famous fans and friends among the alt-rock celebrities of the 1990s. Dennis was briefly a touring member of Smashing Pumpkins, and the Flemion brothers collaborated multiple times with Billy Corgan*.* The Frogs appeared on a Pearl Jam B-side and were sampled by Beck on "Where It's At". Last year, Animal Collective invited them to perform their album It's Only Right and Natural at ATP.
They continued to release albums up until last week, when they digitally released two LPs at the same time: Squirrel Bunny Jupiter Deluxe and Count Yer Blessingsz.
Matador's Gerard Cosloy wrote a lengthy post about Flemion on the Matablog:
"Dennis was without question, one of the funniest persons I've ever encountered. Painfully so. It would not be an exaggeration to say there were several times in which his verbal evisceration chops were almost impossible to keep up with (those who've attended Frogs shows over the years know exactly what I'm talking about). ... The fantastic output and fleeting moments of near-fame aside, I hope he's remembered as a really sweet guy first, and a hugely talented artist second. Our thoughts go out to Jimmy, the rest of the Flemion family, their friends and everyone who was lucky enough to know Dennis. Simply saying, 'he'll be missed' doesn't come close to covering it."
Billy Corgan Tweeted, "I'm devastated by the loss of my friend Dennis Flemion. Words can't explain the sorrow. A tragic loss. Please pray for his family."

CHICAGO (AP) _ The city of Chicago says it will give hiring preference for some positions to those who have graduated from public high schools in the city.
The initiative is aimed at encouraging students to stay in school and graduate.
In hiring for select positions, the city's Department of Human Resources will ensure at least 20 percent of candidates referred are Chicago Public Schools graduates.
The hiring preference would apply to positions like that of general laborer in the Department of Streets and Sanitation. That position involves training for tasks like tree trimming, graffiti removal, sanitation removal and hand labor work.

Common household products –detergents, disinfectants, plastics, and pesticides– contain chemical ingredients that enter the body, disrupt hormones and cause adverse developmental, disease, and reproductive problems. Known as endocrine disruptors, these chemicals, which interact with the endocrine system, wreak havoc in humans and wildlife. The endocrine system consists of a set of glands (thyroid, gonads, adrenal and pituitary) and the hormones they produce (thyroxine, estrogen, testosterone and adrenaline), which help guide the development, growth, reproduction, and behavior of animals, including humans. Hormones are signaling molecules, which travel through the bloodstream and elicit responses in other parts of the body.
Download Beyond Pesticides' Endocrine Disruption brochure (bi-fold), or read Beyond Pesticides article, "Pesticides That Disrupt Endocrine System Still Unregulated by EPA."
Endocrine disruptors function by: (i) Mimicking the action of a naturally-produced hormone, such as estrogen or testosterone, thereby setting off similar chemical reactions in the body; (ii) Blocking hormone receptors in cells, thereby preventing the action of normal hormones; or (iii) Affecting the synthesis, transport, metabolism and excretion of hormones, thus altering the concentrations of natural hormones. Endocrine disruptors have been linked to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, early puberty, infertility and other reproductive disorders, and childhood and adult cancers.
More than 50 pesticide active ingredients have been identified as endocrine disruptors by the European Union and endocrine disruptor expert Theo Colborn, PhD. Endocrine disruption is the mechanism for several health effect endpoints. See the related sections (Cancer, Developmental and Learning Disorders, Parkinson's disease, Reproductive Health) for more information.
