"Hello, The pattern says chain 23 and DC in the second chain from the hook for 22 stitches across. Hmm. Do you mean in the first chain from the hook? Otherwise, you would have 21 stitches across. Can you please clarify? Also, I think this scarf will be wider than 4 1/2 inches across. Thank you, Lisa"

Turn a boring t-shirt into a pretty, vintage-inspired piece of art. Fashion crafts for teens allow young people to get creative and find inspiration. This Lace Inset Shirt from Heidi Borchers is trendy, fun to make and oh so stylish. Teens will love wearing their creation to school or on outings with friends.
- Aleene's OK to Wash It Glue
- T-shirt – black
- Organdy – black
- Lace – black
- Scissors
- Waxed paper
You will be cutting away part of the front of your t-shirt, so you might want to practice on paper first to get your desired pattern shape or be sure to watch video to follow along while cutting.
Wash and dry t-shirt and do not use any fabric softener in the washer or dryer.
Fold t-shirt in half so that you have a straight fold going down the front center.
Cutting through the two layers, begin cutting right below the neckline ribbing but be careful not to cut into the ribbing. Continue to follow cutting along the neckline ribbing until you reach the shoulder seam.
Turn your scissors and cut approximately 2″ along shoulder seam, then begin cutting back towards the front fold. Your inset pattern design will change depending on where you place this cutting line. Save the t-shirt piece that you cut out because you will be using it as a pattern for your organdy.
Turn shirt inside out and lay front side up on work surface.
Place waxed paper inside shirt. This will help to keep the glue from seeping through while you glue in the organdy and lace inset.
Using the t-shirt piece that you cut out as your pattern, place it on the organdy fabric. Measure and add approximately 5/8″ along the outside edge and cut your organdy fabric.
Lay your organdy fabric over the opening in the t-shirt to double check placement. Remove and apply glue in a thin line along the bottom cut edge of the t-shirt. Place the organdy fabric in place and gently press in place over the glue.
Next, apply a line of glue along the top (neckline ribbing) and then place the top edge of the organdy into the glue. Let dry completely.
Apply a line of glue along the shoulder edge and place the organdy into the glue. Let dry completely.
Turn t-shirt right side out.
Cut lace into desired shapes. Apply glue to back of lace pieces and glue in place along edges where t-shirt meets organdy. Let dry completely.
- It is recommended that you hand-wash this wearable.

It has been my long term goal to be able to jazz up an existing top and make it my own by adding a lace inset such as this. Really! I always have all these great ideas in my head but seeing as how I am not a seamstress, I never know how to go about it. So, thank you very much for this simple to execute lace inset design with instructions. I like that it uses washable glue!

Yesterday was the start of Bootcamp III. This is my third bootcamp with Leanness Lifestlyle. I first joined LL in January but didn't get very serious with losing fat. I just became familiar with the online tools.
On February 9th I began Bootcamp I and lost 5 pounds, continued to lose and then began Bootcamp II in April to lose another 8 pounds in the 5 week period. Then continued on until I had lost a total of 25 pounds on July 4. I've maintained since then, other than my Blizzard fix last Sunday, I've been doing very well. That blizzard caused many cravings, crabbiness and bad feelings. Totally was not worth the sugar. It gave me 5 pounds of bloat for 3 days and today it is finally gone.
During this Bootcamp I'm looking to lose another 5-8 pounds to reach my wow goal of 120 pounds. I just want to touch that number, even in for one day, then I'd like 'to live' at 123.
Last night Coach Dave held a conference with 35 of the Bootcamp members. It will be a fun group. The one person who loses the largest % of fat will win $250 worth of gasoline vouchers. #2 will win $100 and #3 will win $50. The first place person also gets their bootcamp free of charge.
If you've been trying to lose a few (or many) pounds, I have to tell you, LL really is a good program for health and wellness. It's not only about food in and exercise out, it's about dealing with the emotional eating as well. I'm still peeling away the layers of myself, learning about myself. Sometimes learning too much.
On another note...
Last night I ran with the run club. As I was getting ready to leave the house I could hear thunder in the background. It didn't look dark outside so I drove into town.
We began to run at 6:00 and at about 2 miles into the run the sky turned green, the wind kicked up and the sirens began to sing. Shit. What do you do? Continue running I guess. I and Ann were together, running through the wind and rain. At one point a branch (a little one) hit me in the head. The sirens blew off again. The sky looked bad. The lightening was constant. We're running along, both holding metal keys in our hands, sheesh.
Then the hail began. Oh joy.
As we approached mile 4.5 and were passing the Holiday Gas Station, the attendant came running out and was screaming something at us. We assumed they were saying "stupid runners". Not so. She was yelling "Tornado on the ground in Clearlake, baseball size hail coming, GET IN HERE" Man. She scared us. I and Ann went into Holiday, we told the crazy lady that Kevin was on the way.
Crazy lady began to tell gas customers "no gas, pumps are off, station is closed". We hid in a dark little room in the back, waiting out the storm.
10-15 minutes later John came into the station. "Are there any runners in here?" Out we came. The worse had passed, he gave us a ride back to our cars. Mine has some pretty bad hail damage. What a bummer. Everyone was safe though.
My computer went down at home during the storm. I hope the hard drive didn't fry. I'll have to call Dell when I have 100 hours to spare. In the meantime, I'm posting from work.
M1: Oat Pancake
M2: Strawberries, All The Whey ( 1 scoop)

What's The Upper Limit on Free Refills?
When I go to a particularly unappealing sort of chain restaurant (or chain-style restaurant), as I happened to do last night, there's one thing I know I can count on: free soda refills. I mean, if there's nothing else you can look forward to in a meal at a huge American bad-burgers-and-taco-salads restaurant, at least you can look forward to getting your soda topped off a few times, right?
But I always run into a question of conscience: How many soda refills is too many?
After I finish one, the server is pretty quick to offer another. After I finish a second, well... am I really getting a third soda? And I can usually deal with that third soda without feeling too weird about it, but then that one's gone and the self-consciousness kicks in.
I realize that any sort of chain restaurant doesn't actually care whether I get two refills or four; it's all pennies out of the eventual check to them. But after awhile, I feel like I'm being That Girl trying to scam them out of soda. Given my tendency to drink endless amounts of diet Coke when it's in front of me, I don't actually know the answer: How many free refills is too many? Or is there really no limit?

6.2.3 a.k.a. the Moose Drake Trinket patch
So, as you may or may not have seen, there is going to be a patch, this coming week, that is going to change several things.(If you haven't check out http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/199137 ... 10-14-2015)
That being said, we definitely wan't to get groups together to run the content for the awesome Moose Drake Trinket. If you are interested just log on and message Roxu if I am online. If I am not send me a mail. We'd do these runs during the usual raid times.
One last thing: you may have seen that there is going to be Cross-Realm Mythic coming to HFC. This would've been nice a few months ago huh? :) Regardless, we want to get back in there with this awesome new resource and get a lot further.
If either of these things interest you or you just wanna catch up with ppl, log on during the usual raid times Wed and Thurs 8-12 est.
Hope to see you guys in game - Rox

Creative Spotlight on Creative Cloud Logo Redesign Artists Vasava
Imagine a design studio. You'll most likely default to thinking of a cool, hip office filled with tons of creative individuals. Now take that concept and turn it on its head. What do you end up with? The design studio that re-imagined our Creative Cloud logo, Vasava Studios.
Far from a traditional design studio, Vasava does not specialize in anything. In fact, they like to experiment. Each member has the taste for the unexpected and selects projects that may test their creative abilities. Enric Godes states it best when he says, "It's not a money driving company, but a company driven by passion." Top that off with a balance between old school and new school styles of design coming together (there is a father/son duo working at Vasava) and you have one of the most unique studios ever.
Bruno Sellés, a partner at Vasava Studios, believes inspiration happens outside of the office. Once he hits the streets of Barcelona, inspiration strikes and his creative process takes off. Creative Cloud plays a huge roll here, because it gives everyone the ability to create wherever. Having the ability to begin a project on Adobe Ideas while commuting to work, uploading it to the cloud and then further refining and finalizing in Illustrator in the studio really opened Bruno's eyes to how Creative Cloud has taken creativity to a whole new level.
Take a virtual tour of Vasava Studios, meet the team and more by checking out the videos below. Also, follow us on Facebook and Twitter to curb your hunger for all things design.

Welcome back for the 38th installment in the wildly popular blog party for the SQL Server community. This is the party that happens on the second Tuesday of each month. The party was started by Adam Machanic (B|T) just over three years ago.
Each month a new host selects a theme and announces it about a week in advance. And this month I will be hosting.
To kick off the new year (2013), we must first adhere to a little tradition. This is not a T-SQL Tuesday tradition. It is more of an annual tradition for all to welcome the new year. Feel free to click the link and sing along!!
Now for the theme. A common thing for many people to do this time of year is to do a little self reflection. Some set meaningful goals for themselves. Fewer actually accomplish those goals or even follow-up after initially setting the goal.
We are not going to set goals as a part of this T-SQL Tuesday – unless you want to. I want to take a little different spin on the New Year's "resolution" tradition. So the theme this month is "Standing Firm."
The idea for this theme is to start with a little self reflection. Then to come up with a story relating to one of these words: resolve, resolution, or resolute. Here are some examples of how these stories may be portrayed.
- Resolve: A system outage occurred and you "resolved" it.
- Resolute: You made an executive decision and did not waver from it.
- Resolution: You discovered a bug and documented a work-a-round resolution for it.
- Resolution: You have discovered certain T-SQL skills are fuzzy and want to sharpen your ability in that area.
- Resolute: You are determined to improve performance in your application.
All of these words are very closely related. It is up to you to determine how you would like to apply them to your T-SQL world. Your experiences and stories can be loosely or tightly coupled to T-SQL, it is up to you.
And since the theme requires a little bit of self-reflection first, bonus kudos to those that can tie a past experience to a future plan.
The Rules
I know, parties are not supposed to have rules. Sadly, all parties have some rules – you just may not know them. These rules are very simple.
- Your post must go live between 00:00:00 GMT on Tuesday the 8th of January 2013 and 00:00:00 GMT on Wednesday the 9th.
- Your post has to link back to the hosting blog, and the link must be anchored from the T-SQL Tuesday LOGO (found above) which must also appear at the top of the post.
- Trackbacks should work. However, all comments and trackbacks are moderated, so give me a few minutes. If you think you waited long enough and still don't see yours, leave a comment below.
- Tweet your post to the #TSQL2sDay hash tag.
- Have Fun writing and participating.
Follow these rules, and your post will be included in the roundup that will be posted on the 15th or 16th of January.

The feds have talked to Tiger Woods about a sketchy Canadian doctor accused of supplying superstar athletes with human growth hormone, according to The Associated Press.
Authorities are looking into Dr. Anthony Galea, who Woods has acknowledged seeing. Woods claims the treatment he got from the Toronto-based doctor did not involve performance enhancing drugs.
"Tiger willingly spoke to the authorities and cooperated fully," Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, told the AP via e-mail. "It was confirmed that because he did nothing illegal, he is not the subject of any criminal investigation. Because there is an ongoing investigation involving others, there will be no further comment."
U.S. & World
The New York Times first reported Woods' interview, citing two unidentified people. Barbara Burns, a spokeswoman for U.S. District Attorney William Hochul, declined comment.
Other athletes who have been linked to Galea include New York Mets Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran and Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez. All have said they were interviewed about Galea, either by the feds or Major League Baseball authorities.
Galea, who denies any wrongdoing, was busted in Buffalo at the Canadian border with human growth hormone and Actovegin, a drug extracted from calf's blood, in his bag at the U.S.-Canada border in late September.
No athletes are identified by name in the government's criminal complaint or supporting affidavit, which describes the 50-year-old Galea traveling to meet with professional athletes in New York City, Boston, Tampa Bay, Washington and other U.S. cities from July through September of last year.

(Updated Nov. 14)
GRAPHIC WARNING: This post contains graphic images which some viewers may find disturbing.

The puppy with its mother a day earlier on Nov. 5.
A puppy stays by the remains of a dog who local residents say is its mother on Nov. 6 (above), days after it was killed in an area burned in violence at East Pikesake ward in Kyaukphyu, Myanmar. The exact circumstances of the dog's death are unknown.
Update (Nov. 14): Many readers wondered about the fate of the puppy. We contacted Reuters and they informed us that after the pictures were taken the puppy was taken to a nearby monastery. The photographer, who uses the byline Minzayar, also responded in our comments section:
When I was walking around the burnt areas in that villages, I saw this scene which broke my heart. Before taking pics, I asked the local people around who would adopt the puppy. No one couldn't because they are all in difficulty themselves suffered from the communal violence. Then, I dropped all my cameras, just sitting and watching the little puppy with the deepest sympathy and sorrows, cries inside me. Then I took the pictures. I rubbed its head... He licked my hands.. Then after a few minutes, took the pictures again.. When my time comes that I must leave, I was about to take the puppy back to the hotel but then, there was one very kind local man who has been watching me and the puppy. He said he also wants to adopt it but cannot because he is poor. Then finally, we decided to send the puppy back to the Buddhist monastery in the village. In Myanmar, monasteries are believed to be the most peaceful place than everything. I believe I did what I could do best in my given situations.
I will surely pay a visit to the puppy again sometime in the future.
To add, me and the local man picked up the puppy together..

Shop Fireplace Doors | FREE Design Service | FAQs
Customer Comments: Savannah, 48" x 30", cast bronze, clear glass, no bevel, mesh, standard doors. Masonry fireplace, rough front/exterior of fireplace, rectangular.
Our Comments: If the surface of the stone is not too irregular, you may be able to get away with an overlap fit on this fireplace. Otherwise, we recommend fitting the door inside and filling the gaps with mortar. We have provided examples of both applications. Also, we were not sure if you wanted mesh curtains or mesh backup doors, so we did both.
Note: These mock-ups are digitally created and meant to be used as a visualization tool only. The door frames are not exactly to scale and the finishes we attempt to replicate may not be accurate and will look different on every device. Be sure to View Our Finish Samples Here to choose your finish.
These photos were supplied by the customer after they installed their chosen doors
These options are behind the glass so you can burn the fire with the doors open and still have spark protection. Great for real wood or gas logs since most gas long manufacturers insist that you have a screen in front of the logs when they are burning. Mesh panel doors are the most popular and are best for when there are toddlers present because they will not open backwards whereas the mesh screens are easily pushed in.
This page was created as part of our Free Fireplace Door Design service. Anyone who has a fireplace and is considering glass doors can take advantage of this program. All you have to do is email us some pictures of your fireplace and we will create digital mock-ups showing you how various fireplace doors will look on your fireplace.

In 1939, William Patrick Hitler fled Nazi Germany to join relatives in the U.S. He attempted to enlist with the U.S. Armed Forces, but was rejected because of his uncle -- Adolf Hitler.
Finally, in 1942, he penned an eloquent plea to President Franklin D. Roosevelt to let him join the Allied cause. Here's an excerpt:
I am the nephew and only descendant of the ill-famed Chancellor and Leader of Germany who today so despotically seeks to enslave the free and Christian peoples of the globe. ...
I am one of many, but I can render service to this great cause and I have a life to give that it may, with the help of all, triumph in the end. ...
As to my integrity, Mr. President, I can only say that it is a matter of record and it compares somewhat to the foresighted spirit with which you, by every ingenuity known to statecraft, wrested from the American Congress those weapons which are today the Nation's great defense in this crisis. I can also reflect that in a time of great complacency and ignorance I tried to do those things which as a Christian I knew to be right. As a fugitive from the Gestapo I warned France through the press that Hitler would invade her that year. The people of England I warned by the same means that the so-called "solution" of Munich was a myth that would bring terrible consequences. On my arrival in America I at once informed the press that Hitler would loose his Frankenstein on civilization that year. Although nobody paid any attention to what I said, I continued to lecture and write in America. Now the time for writing and talking has passed and I am mindful only of the great debt my mother and I owe to the United States. More than anything else I would like to see active combat as soon as possible and thereby be accepted by my friends and comrades as one of them in this great struggle for liberty.
The rest of the letter is equally stunning.
The letter, by the way, made it to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who eventually cleared Hitler for service. He joined the Navy in 1944 and was discharged after an injury in 1947. He died in 1987.

Hospital, homes damaged in Creston
Damage reported at Greater Regional Medical Center
A tornado damaged the hospital in Creston on Saturday night.
Authorities with the Creston Police Department said the damage was reported at the Greater Regional Medical Center about 7:30 p.m.
Authorities say there were no serious injuries at the hospital. The high winds broke windows, sending flying glass into the building. The majority of the damage was to the roof, which was ripped open in places, allowing rain to enter the hospital. That also caused electrical problems.
Dozens of ambulances from around Iowa raced to the hospital to evacuate patients to surrounding communities. Hospitals in Des Moines also sent staff members to Creston to help with the evacuation.
Creston Mayor Warren Woods said power lines are down all over Creston, and much of the city is without electricity.
At Southwest Community College, roof damage was found on dormitories, and there were other reports of damage there.
Police said there were reports of injuries at the community college, including some students who were cut by flying glass. None of the injuries was serious. The storm knocked down trees and overturned a few cars on the SWCC campus.
The Lutheran church and Christian church were opened as shelters.
Daylight Sunday morning revealed several homes heavily damaged in Creston, with roofs ripped off, walls collapsed, and debris strewn across the yards.
Creston police chief Paul Ver Meer said anybody in Creston who needs help or assistance can call 641-782-1701.
Police do not want volunteer help Sunday. They want to be the ones to search home and clear up streets at this time.

Welcome to the Web Active Magazine website
Welcome to the Fashion and Photography website. We aim to deliver all the links and advice you could ask for regarding Web Active Magazine. Most trends that have occurred in history have had a purpose greater than just simply that of style. The people of Mexico for instance wear sombreros in order to protect themselves from the bright sun, while Irish people wear wool mainly in order to stay warm and dry. The choice of accessories and clothing is influenced by a number of human and environmental factors. Fashion is both a personal choice and also an idea that is shared by others in the same society. Individuals choose what they want to wear, but the range from which they select is a product of a consensus within the society in which they live. There are lots of cultures all over the world that don't condone women dressing in revealing clothes, for instance, and so women there tend to choose less revealing outfits.
While it would be simpler to state that organic clothes aren't organic unless they are certifiably so, right now the process of organic certification only objectively applies to organic food and other organic agricultural products, and is a very objective standard by which one can measure whether any type of food or agricultural product is in fact organic.
Injury was no setback for snapper Deborah
AN ILKESTON snapper has won a prestigious fashion photography competition, despite having suffered a potentially career-ending neck injury last year.
There are, of course, other cultures which regard the female form as a thing of beauty that should not hidden away, and as such their women choose more revealing outifts that actually accentuate the female form. Many societies do not buy clothing from shops, for example those in tribal Africa, and so people wear only what the immediate environment provides, using their local natural resources to fashion their own clothing, and so their own trends are a reflection of what is available to them, and the lifestyles they have there. Please get in touch with us if you want to know more about Web Active Magazine.

New Hero
Another win, another hero.
Ross came off the bench and delivered a game-winning hit in the ninth inning last night sending the Phillies on the road to Milwaukee and the Braves to New York.
His game-winning hit was the third by a Phillies pinch hitter, Mayberry and Francisco the other two. According to Elias Sports Bureau the Phillies had gone five seasons (2006-2010) without a game-winning hit by a pinch hitter. Last time they had three: 1984, Greg Gross, Len Matuszek and Sixto Lezcano.
Roy-O looked more like Roy-O. With three or four more starts, he'll get primed for the post season.
Chase is the latest injury. The Phillies are being very cautious after he was hit on the back of the helmet by an O'Flaherty pitch. Despite all the injuries, the Phillies keep on marching. This truly is an amazing bunch.
Brew Crew
Phillies took a Delta charter flight to Milwaukee where they begin a four-game series tonight. Since Miller Park opened in 2001, Phillies are 15-15 there in the regular season.
The Brewers, managed for Phillies Alumnus Ron Roenicke, are the hottest team in the NL, 40-16 since July 6. (Phillies are second, 36-16, during that time frame). Milwaukee owns the best home record in the majors, 50-19, winning 21 of their last 27. They've been in first place for 76 days.
Good news: Brewers are 4-11 on Thursdays.
Not surprisingly, MLB denied the Phillies protest in Florida. Joe Torre made the announcement in a one-sentence press release yesterday.
What is surprising and disappointing is that there was no explanation, at least publically. So fans will never know why.
Washed Out
Both Lehigh Valley and Reading were washed out of their playoff openers.
LV will now have home games tonight and Friday and then head for Pawtucket. Reading will play tonight and Friday night in New Hampshire and then return home for Saturday and Sunday (if necessary). Yesterday, I posted that Reading didn't begin their best-of-5 round until tonight. Well, wrong again!
Minor League Notes
**Lehigh Valley, Reading, Clearwater and Lakewood led their respective leagues in total attendance and average attendance. Clearwater broke its record set a year ago.
**SS Freddy Galvis, a 21-year-old switch hitter, finished strong, winning the Phillies minor league player of the month for August and the Paul Owens Award. An outstanding defensive shortstop, he's made significant improvement with the bat this season (combined .278 average in AA/AAA, 28 doubles, 5 triples, 8 home runs).
**RHP Trevor May of the Clearwater Threshers won the Paul Owens Award for pitchers after leading the organization with 208 strikeouts (151.1 innings). The 21-year-old was 10-8, 3.63 ERA for 27 starts. Galvis and May will receive their awards pre-game on September 18.
**LHP Joe Savery won the pitching honors last month and capped an interesting season. After a 1-12 record in AAA a year ago (28 games, 19 starts), he was converted into a first baseman in spring training and won the player of the month award after hitting .450 in April at Clearwater. Promoted to AA on June 17, he hit .200 in 16 games and started relieving 10 days later. Strictly working out of the bullpen, he was promoted to AAA on July 14. Joe finished the season with a 4-0 record, 1.80 ERA in 18 appearances at LV.

Kim Kardashian talked to Extra yesterday about Kim, Bruce Jenner, Kim, the Met Gala, Kim, her book of selfies, and a little bit more Kim for good measure.
About Bruce's interview with Diane Sawyer, Kim said, "It was amazing. He got such a great response, such a supportive response, and that means the world to him. This was a big step for him. He can feel the love [and the support]. That makes him so happy."
"I'm trying to hook him up with designers now," added Kim. No, Bruce! No! Run!
Kim said she promised Bruce she'd help him every step of the way … as long as he doesn't try to steal her glam team. "I'm like, 'That's not going to work. You gotta find your own team. If you are going to do this, you have to do it right. You have to look amazing, and I'll help you.'" #priorities

There have been some outstanding new developments in the world of music for iOS users this past few months!
First has been the actual release of AudioBus for iOS. As they say on the iTunes Store… This is a revolutionary new inter-app audio routing system allowing you to connect your AudioBus compatible apps together with virtual cables. In other words…. I can be playing a synth on my iPad, like Magellan, and record it into my MultiTrack DAW on the same iPad! This opens up very different possibilities of being able to record from a long list of currently compatable apps into other apps on one iPad instead of having to have two devices or using audio copy/paste. Check out their website for currently compatible apps as the list is changing almost daily!
In the late 80's I remember spending many hours programming keyboards for the ministry team at college that I was involved in. It was great fun to get inside of a synth patch and make all sorts of tweaks to it to come up with a new patch that was my own. Little did I imagine then, that I would be able to do this on an iPad with a color, touch screen! Check out the list of apps othe AudioBus page. I think there are some outstanding apps there that will make some outstanding music! Imagine if we could get these apps into the hands of our students in a non-traditional music class!
Another major development is the development of apps that allow your creativity to fly to new heights! One of those apps that blew me away today is Audiolus. Audulud is a modular synthesis app that is available for the iPad as well as the Mac. This app allows you to create synth sounds from scratch, one step at a time! I can not begin to imagine the possibilities of this app in a music class combined with science concepts being integrated all in one mega fun unit! Your science teacher and you, the music teacher, could have a hay day with this app! You have got to watch the tutorials on their tutorial page! This tutorial in particular floored me when I started to get a grasp on what this app is capable of…. I love how it starts with a demonstration of the outcome and then it takes you back step by step to build the patch starting from absolutely nothing! (Wait…. isn't that the model for a great lesson plan?)
Lastly, I would like to leave you with a couple of great examples of amazing performances from people who are truly creating amazing music using iOS and iPads/iPhones. Both of these groups have active YouTube channels that I would suggest you subscribing to
The first person is Rheyne – Rheyne uses live looping with analog keyboards, USB controllers and iOS devices. The videos on his channel are all performed live! The integration he has between all the apps and devices is stunning! His music is digital and does not attempt to re-create an acoustic instrument performance!
The second group is the DigiEnsemble Berlin – This is a group of professional musicians trying to turn mobile devices into instruments. This group has music of both the electronic nature as well as classical and everything in between. You can see them recreating a classical string ensmeble using iphones and ipads for instance or performing Starlight (from the alternative rock band Muse) and then performing a magical, musical interpretation of Silent Night.
This sort of musical creativity needs to be taught in our schools alongside the traditional Band, Choir and General Music classes. Of course that means new classes need to be created and staffed! The biggest reason we need these sort of classes is that our students would be forced to become the innovators, the ones creating and designing the final product. There are not many programs like these in place yet so the development of this type of course is going to muddy water and the learning process will be messy. Let's wade in and get dirty!

On Thursday, October 23, 2008 around 2:00 a.m., Waterloo Police Officers were sent to 1711 Forest Avenue in Waterloo on a report of a shooting that had just occurred.
During the course of the investigation the two victims told the officers that an unknown number of suspects broke into the residence and confronted them. The suspects, who had their faces covered, demanded undisclosed property from the residence. A struggle then ensued between one of the suspects and one of the victims and during this struggle the victim was shot in the arm. The suspects then left the house with the property and fled the area.
The gunshot victim has been identified as 47-year-old Richard Kenneth Smith Jr., of 1711 Forest Avenue. Waterloo Fire Rescue Paramedics transported Smith to Covenant Medical Center where he is listed in stable condition.
No further information is available at this time. The investigation continues.

Blown Away
I understand a number of kiters like to go out in squalls others don't bother to think much about it. If it is blowing, they go. I would take a look at the following clip, consider the many dozens of kiters killed and likely hundreds injured worldwide over the years in squalls and think it over again. This was shot at the Sun n Fun fly in, in Lakeland, FL yesterday. It is horrible to have so many personal aircraft many home built radically damaged in an instant and at a fun annual fly in.
Want to fly a 7 m kite in that? Anyone who goes out in squalls has the opportunity, believe it.
How about the winds that blew over Egmont Key ikitesurf sensor at the entrance to Tampa Bay shortly before things went ballistic in Lakeland, FL about 30 miles to the ENE? Note the classic 90 degree direction change with the onset of the squall line. This has blown kiters offshore plenty of times in the past and with far less violent squall lines. Some have made it, some lost boards and still others lost their lives. These direction changes can be ANTICIPATED, along with strong winds, if you bother to look out for it. There were nine tornados identified in the Bay area however looking at the windgraph and duration of high wind, it seems likely that other sources of high wind were present throughout the area as well. Perhaps powerful gust fronts and bursts.
So, you ignore squalls/weather hazards and head out say at 10:30 am rigged with a 9 m. Having some fun until say 12:30 pm. They there is a good chance it is lights out time or a real nasty go to if you're extremely lucky. I could easily imagine kiters who ignore weather hazards or actively go out in them falling into this predictable but possible terminal scenario. Not all squalls are this lethal, just enough to make it a real bad idea to mess with any of them. Lots of guys have lost it in squalls blowing to 35 kts. Some may not believe it but you likely haven't hit a bad one or have had things go very wrong yet. I know some kiters rely on squalls for wind in some inland venues. It is tough but getting taken out by one permanently or messed up still make it a poor choice. Also, no way this is a "Florida" specific threat. Squall lines like this tear things up from coast to coast at times.
We were to fly back to Ft. Lauderdale, FL yesterday but were put on a 3 hour weather hold on the tarmac in Denver because of this same cold front squall line and all the tornados and other damage going on. I understand bow echos were identified in radar images along with tornado signatures. Some of the imagery suggests microbursts may have been involved too.
This was the radar image around the time of the windgraph shown above. That dark red curved area is heading to Lakeland.
This is what a powerful squall line or collection of supercell storms can look like from space. The higher the shadow the taller and more powerful the storm cloud stack.
An animated radar image
This is an aircraft view of the one that ripped over Central Florida yesterday about 300 miles west of Naples and at 38,300 ft. or so. You can see the anvil of one thunderstorm out of many more in the squall line. There were cloud tops still higher than we were flying, powerful cumulonimbus.
Multiple gust fronts, tornados, straight line winds, lightening and hail, what is not to like?
The marine forecast for the Tampa Bay area that day was for 20 kts west, more HERE with a warning about tornados on some websites. Look what the weather hazard forecast was at 6 am the same day!
CLICK image for full sized photo
Coasting along past an overtopping cloud in the distance 7 1/2 miles above the earth.
This was our approximate position at the time. The real violent stuff was already well to the east, hence the three hour weather flight hold from the FAA.
Here are some more images of the damage done by this squall line over a fairly large area:

There is another strong cold front squall line sweeping down Florida now. It spiked a 60 mph gust in Brooksville above Tampa within the hour. It is hitting Tampa Bay now, get the kites out of the air and secured. From the hazard forecasts it looks like this one will be heading across South Florida. So check out radar, real time winds upweather, hazard advisories and conditions at the beach. You need to do this routinely as alerts like this often won't come from me. Don't have a kite up anywhere around squalls. They can move very fast over a mile a minute so early correct reaction is key.

I'm always calling on journalists to admit their mistakes; today it's my turn.
I want to apologize to Fox's Greta Van Susteren for adding incorrect information about her to a Daily Beast article.
In Lauren Ashburn's piece about those who made fun of Hillary Clinton's illness, I edited in a comment about whether she had suffered an "immaculate concussion" and attributed it to Van Susteren. In fact, it was said by Laura Ingraham.
What's more, as the piece noted, Van Susteren took to task those who mocked Clinton's illness, including her own Fox colleagues. For that, she deserves kudos, not an inaccurate account.

Bishop: Gay Ohio teacher's firing about marriage
Bishop compares same-sex relationship to extramarital affair
The Roman Catholic bishop in central Ohio says the firing of a gay teacher at a Columbus Catholic school was based not on her sexual orientation but on the need to maintain the institution's marriage values.
Bishop Frederick Campbell told The Columbus Dispatch for a story published Wednesday that Carla Hale was fired in March because she violated the church's moral teaching through what he described as a "quasi-spousal relationship" with a woman.
He said an extramarital affair by a heterosexual couple would go against the same teaching.
Hale said she was fired from Bishop Watterson High School after her mother's published obituary included the name of Hale's partner, and someone complained. The physical education teacher is fighting to get her job back through a grievance with a teachers union and a complaint to the city.
The bishop told the newspaper that diocesan officials "don't necessarily go looking for things like that," but Hale's decision to name her partner in her mother's obituary made the relationship public and initiated the termination process.
Campbell said that as bishop, he has a responsibility to maintain the Catholic identity of the institutions under his purview.
Hale's attorney argued that neither the teacher contract nor the diocesan policy specifically bound Hale, a Methodist, to abide by church tenets or to practice Catholicism.
Hale has filed a complaint with the Columbus Community Relations Commission and is pursuing a grievance through the local Catholic teachers union. More than 100,000 people have signed an online petition seeking her reinstatement.

John Andretti (born March 12, 1963 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania), is an American race car driver. He currently drives the #38 Ford Fusion in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series for Front Row Motorsports. He has won in CART, NHRA Top Fuel Dragsters, endurance racing and NASCAR stock car racing. He was the last NASCAR driver to win a Cup Race for the famous Petty Enterprises team.
Andretti's father, Aldo Andretti, had his racing career cut short due to a racing accident. He also has a younger brother named Adam Andretti who has also competed in several racing series; they are both nephews of IndyCar racing legend Mario Andretti (Aldo's twin), cousin of Mario's sons Michael and Jeff. Andretti is the godson of four-time Indianapolis 500 winner A. J. Foyt. The Andretti family became the first family to have four relatives (Michael, Mario, Jeff, and John) compete in the same series (CART). In 1990, 1991 and 1992, they had four family members competing in the Indy 500.
Andretti has one win (Australia, '91) and 61 top-10s in 74 career races in CART. He joined the PPG Indy Car World Series (CART) in 1987, winning the Rookie of the Year award. In 1988, Andretti made his debut at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, racing as high as seventh before mechanical problems forced him to finish 21st.

Nearly 22 million TV viewers seems like a lot — but for an "American Idol" season-ender, it's a new low.
The crowd that tuned in Wednesday night when bluesy guitar man Phillip Phillips won the "Idol" crown constituted the smallest for an "Idol" finale in its history, according to final Nielsen Co. figures.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The audience of 21.5 million was down by nearly one-third from the 29.3 million viewers who saw country singer Scotty McCreery's victory a year ago, an audience total that had rebounded by 20 percent from the finale in 2010.
The Fox singing competition has experienced ratings erosion during this entire season, its 11th.
ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" finale show on Tuesday night also drew its lowest audience ever for a season-capper, averaging 17.8 million viewers, down about 18 percent from a year ago.

Green cement may set CO2 fate in concrete
Call him cement man.
Back when Stanford Professor Brent Constantz was 27 he created a high-tech cement that revolutionized bone fracture repair in hospitals worldwide. People who might have died from the complications of breaking their hips lived. Fractured wrists became good as new.
Now, 22 years later, he wants to repair the world.
Constantz says he has invented a green cement that could eliminate the huge amounts of carbon dioxide spewed into the atmosphere by the manufacturers of the everyday cement used in concrete for buildings, roadways and bridges.
His vision of eliminating a large source of the world's greenhouse CO{-2} has gained traction with both investors and environmentalists.
Already, venture capitalist Vinod Khosla is backing Constantz's company, the Calera Corp., which has a pilot factory in Moss Landing (Monterey County) churning out cement in small batches.
And Carl Pope, executive director of the Sierra Club, says it could be "a game changer" if Constantz can do it quickly, on a big scale and at a decent price.
"It changes the nature of the fight against global warming," said Pope, who has talked with Constantz about his work.
That might sound like hyperbole, but the reality is that for every ton of ordinary cement, known as Portland cement, a ton of air-polluting carbon dioxide is released during production. Worldwide, 2.5 billion tons of cement are manufactured each year, creating about 5 percent of the Earth's CO{-2} emissions.
When Constantz learned about the high CO{-2} levels, he thought he could do better. After all, the majority of his 60 patents have to do with medical cement.
He claims his new approach not only generates zero CO{-2} , but has an added benefit of reducing the amount of CO{-2} power plants emit by sequestering it inside the cement.
To make traditional cement, limestone is heated to more than 1,000 degrees Celsius, which turns it into lime - the principal ingredient in Portland cement - and CO{-2}, which is released into the air.
Constantz uses a different approach, the details of which remains secret pending publication of his patent.
At his pilot factory, a former magnesium hydroxide facility that made metal for World War II bombs, magnesium crunches underfoot as Constantz, wearing a pressed, blue button-down shirt with rumpled shorts and sandals, outlines how the process works.
He pointed to two enormous smokestacks billowing flue gases full of carbon dioxide next door at Dynegy, one of the West's biggest and cleanest power plants.
Constantz takes that exhaust gas and bubbles it through seawater pumped from across the highway. The chemical process creates the key ingredient for his green cement and allows him to sequester a half ton of carbon dioxide from the smokestacks in every ton of cement he makes.
Constantz believes his cement would tackle global warming on two fronts. It would eliminate the need to heat limestone, which releases CO{-2}. And harmful emissions can be siphoned away from power plants and locked into the cement.
The same process can also be used to make an alternative to aggregate - the sand and gravel - that makes up concrete and asphalt, which would sequester even more carbon dioxide from power plants.
"The beauty here is we're taking this old industrial polluting infrastructure and turning it into something that will save the environment," Constantz said.
On a per-person basis, the United States is the world's worst CO{-2} polluter from all sources. But according to the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, China just surpassed the U.S. for total carbon dioxide emissions.
China is expected to produce 47 percent of the world's 2.5 billion tons of cement this year, Constantz said.
To power its new buildings and sustain its building boom, China constructs at least one coal-fired power plant a week. Each one belches out enough CO{-2} to cancel the benefits of every hybrid on U.S. roadways, said Constantz.
A CO{-2} molecule can travel from Beijing to San Francisco in less than a day through atmospheric circulation, he said. So even with California mandating that CO{-2} emissions fall to 1990 levels by 2020, a crisis remains.
"Carbon dioxide is a global problem, not a regional problem," he said.
As far as cost, Constantz estimates his cement would retail for $100 a ton versus roughly $110 for Portland.
The reason no one invented it before now, he said, is that people didn't truly understand the dangers of CO{-2} until less than a decade ago.
Skeptics question product
He has skeptics.
Portland cement has a track record of more than 100 years, and any new material would have to get incorporated into building codes, noted Rick Bohan, director of construction and manufacturing technology for the Portland Cement Association in Skokie, Ill.
And Tom Pyle, a Caltrans engineer who serves on the cement subgroup of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's Climate Action Team, acknowledged that the technology is possible, but he still wants to examine Constantz's cement.
"We hope they have a carbon-reducing viable construction material," he said. "They need to show up with a bag of this so we can test it."
Constantz is confident he will prove himself. Initially, he proposes mixing his new invention with Portland cement to ease a conservative industry into a new product. Concrete bigwigs have invited him to speak about Calera cement at their annual World of Concrete in Las Vegas next February.
Power plant partnerships
Constantz envisions building cement factories next to power plants the world over. A team is scouting out U.S. locations. While Dynegy has supplied Constantz with some flue gas, it hasn't entered into a formal agreement.
"As we're looking into the future, we're very interested in technology that would help capture CO{-2} from the flue gases and turn it into a product that offers a benefit," said Dynegy spokesman David Byford.
It could be good for business. California has mandated emissions reductions. And Congress is working on legislation that would allow high polluters to buy credits from those with low emissions. Power plants would have a huge incentive to sequester their CO{-2} in cement.
But even if Constantz succeeds, the world would still need to do much more to fight CO{-2} emissions, said Chris Field, director of the department of global ecology at the Carnegie Institution for Science at Stanford. "It's a big, long complicated game," he said. "As we develop each new segment of the solution we need to embrace it and deploy it and work hard to develop the next segment of the solution."
Coral basis of idea
Big ideas can form in haphazard ways. The one for bone cement began during a televised football game, when Constantz read an osteoporosis article in the New England Journal of Medicine. Three weeks later, as he studied a coral reef, it occurred to him he could maybe synthesize coral skeletons in human bones.
His new cement mimics how coral reefs form, too. Coral uses the magnesium and calcium present in seawater to create carbonates much as he's using CO{-2} and seawater to make carbonate.
This latest invention took 18 months to conceive and execute. He feels it's one of the most important things he's ever done.
"Climate change is the largest challenge of our generation," he said.
Who is Brent Constantz?
Profession: An associate consulting professor in Stanford's department of geological and environmental sciences and founder of the Calera Corp. Created and sold three other companies - Norian Corp., Corazon Technologies Inc. and Skeletal Kinetics.
Education: UC Santa Barbara, bachelor's of science (1981); UC Santa Cruz, doctorate (1986)
Family: Married and father of four.
Pastime: Surfing and rock climbing.
Concrete facts about cement
2.5 billion tons of hydraulic cement is produced worldwide annually. Add sand and gravel and that makes more than 9,000 million cubic yards of concrete. That's more than enough concrete to pave an eight-lane highway from the Earth to the moon and back again - twice.
If you stayed on the planet, that same eight-lane highway would circle the Earth almost 40 times.

By Dwight Silverman, Houston Chronicle
There's only so much you can do to protect yourself online. You can practice safe computing, not clicking on bogus links in emails or social media; by using strong passwords; by not giving out personal information to strangers.
You can do all these things and still be a digital victim if the processes and practices of the companies with which you do business are lacking.
And judging from the terrifying tale of Mat Honan, the security practices of two of the biggest need a lot of work.
Honan, a writer for Wired (he's also worked for Gizmodo), last Friday found his digital world turned upside down. Hackers got into his Gmail, iCloud, Amazon.com and Twitter accounts and wreaked havoc. I'd been following the story via Twitter over the weekend, and on Monday he wrote a lengthy piece on Wired.com describing exactly what had happened to him.
If you use online services, you should read it carefully – particularly if you're an Apple or Amazon.com customer. It's long, but well worth your time.
Honan's first paragraph lays out a summary of what happened:
In the space of one hour, my entire digital life was destroyed. First my Google account was taken over, then deleted. Next my Twitter account was compromised, and used as a platform to broadcast racist and homophobic messages. And worst of all, my AppleID account was broken into, and my hackers used it to remotely erase all of the data on my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook.
Step by step, here's what happened to him:
• The hackers began by going to Honan's personal website, which was linked from his Twitter account. Honan's Gmail address was there, and they used Google's automated password-recovery setup to get a glimpse at a guessable alternative email address, which happened to be an Apple .me account.
• Next the hackers looked up the information on Honan's web domain, which yielded his billing address.
• The hackers then called Amazon and said they wanted to add a credit card number to Honan's account, pretending to be him. Amazon only requires the account holder's name, billing address and an email address associated with an account to make this change. And you can generate fake credit card numbers with online tools, which the hackers did. The hackers were then able to call back and add a new email address, because they could accurately give out associated credit card information. Once the new email was in place, they requested a password reset, which gave them access to Honan's account details – including the last four digits of Honan's credit card.
• Next they called Apple tech support, where you can bypass security questions to access an account by giving out a customer billing address and the last four digits of an associated credit card. They now had control of Honan's iCloud account, to which his iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro were linked.
• The hackers used Find My iPhone and Find My Mac to wipe his devices.
• Once the hackers had control of Honan's iCloud account, they also controlled his .me email address – which was the backup to Gmail. They were then able to enter his Gmail account and send a password reset request to Twitter, which then gave them access to his @mat Twitter feed.
• Oh, and because Honan's Twitter feed was still linked to Gizmodo's main Twitter account – even though he's no longer employed there – they were able to hijack @Gizmodo, too.
In this nasty timeline, you can see how quickly the hack proceeded:
At 4:33 p.m., according to Apple's tech support records, someone called AppleCare claiming to be me. Apple says the caller reported that he couldn't get into his .Me e-mail — which, of course was my .Me e-mail.
In response, Apple issued a temporary password. It did this despite the caller's inability to answer security questions I had set up. And it did this after the hackers supplied only two pieces of information that anyone with an internet connection and a phone can discover.
At 4:50 p.m., a password reset confirmation arrived in my inbox. I don't really use my .Me e-mail, and rarely check it. But even if I did, I might not have noticed the message because the hackers immediately sent it to the trash. They then were able to follow the link in that e-mail to permanently reset my AppleID password.
At 4:52 p.m., a Gmail password recovery e-mail arrived in my .Me mailbox. Two minutes later, another e-mail arrived notifying me that my Google account password had changed.
At 5:02 p.m., they reset my Twitter password. At 5:00 they used iCloud's "Find My" tool to remotely wipe my iPhone. At 5:01 they remotely wiped my iPad. At 5:05 they remotely wiped my MacBook. Around this same time, they deleted my Google account. At 5:10, I placed the call to AppleCare. At 5:12 the attackers posted a message to my account on Twitter taking credit for the hack.
By wiping my MacBook and deleting my Google account, they now not only had the ability to control my account, but were able to prevent me from regaining access. And crazily, in ways that I don't and never will understand, those deletions were just collateral damage. My MacBook data — including those irreplaceable pictures of my family, of my child's first year and relatives who have now passed from this life — weren't the target. Nor were the eight years of messages in my Gmail account. The target was always Twitter. My MacBook data was torched simply to prevent me from getting back in.
Clearly, weak processes at Amazon and Apple enabled this disaster, but Honan also lays part of the blame on himself:
In many ways, this was all my fault. My accounts were daisy-chained together. Getting into Amazon let my hackers get into my Apple ID account, which helped them get into Gmail, which gave them access to Twitter. Had I used two-factor authentication for my Google account, it's possible that none of this would have happened, because their ultimate goal was always to take over my Twitter account and wreak havoc. Lulz.
Honan's been in touch with Apple and Amazon and hopefully this episode will cause both companies to tighten their procedures. He's also been in touch with one of the hackers, who provided him with the details about how it was done.
Again, read the whole thing. It may cause you to make some changes in the way your own digital life is constructed.

Lots of news and comments are flying around the web (and local law firms) about the patent infringement suit filed by Yahoo against Facebook.
Many of the comments chide Yahoo, calling them "patent trolls," and describing the suit at Yahoo's best (and last) chance to make some real money.
But, if I can drop a legal term here, the suit is not without precedent. A company called Leader sued Facebook a couple of years ago over patent issues – and Leader won the case.
Eleven patents were allegedly infringed upon, and Facebook was found guilty of violating all 11 of them.
So, is Leader counting its billions?
No. At least, not yet.
Facebook was able to invalidate the decision, and Leader says that it's still fighting, and hopes to win. The company is somewhat coy about what kind of damages it might get from a (possible) victory, but admits it has high hopes.
Some lawyers (on PRWeb) have gone on record as saying that a Leader win over Facebook could bring Leader "hundreds of millions of dollars" in damages.
So, where do we go from here?
We'll talk to the CEO of Leader, who filed the lawsuit, and is still hopeful for a win.
You can bet Yahoo! Will be watching this one closely.
Scott will be watching, and tweeting. He's on Twitter: @scottbudman

Washington vs. Delaware
For Washington-headquartered companies, incorporate in either Delaware or Washington. Either is fine.
The Punchline
- If you are cost conscious and don't mind having to possibly explain why you chose Washington, incorporate in Washington.
- If you don't mind spending extra money and incurring a little more administrative hassle, and you never want to have to answer the question–"Why didn't you incorporate in Delaware?"–incorporate in Delaware.
Washington law is fine and good
- Washington has a well developed and well maintained corporate law.
- Although Washington State doesn't have Chancery Courts (special courts dedicated to handling just corporate disputes), and Washington doesn't have as long a line of judicial precedent as Delaware, for a startup this isn't a big deal. Washington courts regularly look to Delaware precedent for persuasive opinion when appropriate. There are nuanced differences between the two state's laws, but they are substantially similar.
- Some of the world's most valuable companies are incorporated in Washington.
- Washington, unlike California, is not a review state. If you were in California and trying to decide where to incorporate, California or Delaware, you would choose Delaware to avoid the practice of the California Secretary of State of reviewing and approving filings before they are effective (which can slow down a financing). Washington, like Delaware, is not a state which reviews filings with the Secretary of State before they are effective. The popularity of Delaware as a place to incorporate has a lot to do with the unpopularity of California as a state of incorporation.
Washington is less expensive
- If you are headquartered in Washington, incorporating in Washington will be less expensive than incorporating in Delaware.
- If you incorporate in Delaware but do business in Washington, you will have to:
- first, pay Delaware incorporation fees;
- then pay to obtain a certificate of good standing from Delaware;
- then pay to qualify your Delaware corporation to do business in Washington; and
- then on an ongoing basis you will have to pay Delaware franchise taxes and registered agent fees to a registered agent in Delaware, in addition to ongoing fees you will have to pay to the State of Washington.
- Delaware's annual franchise fees can be significantly greater than Washington's annual fee (Washington's annual fee is less than $100).
- If you want to see how much more Delaware can cost you in annual fees, you can run example calculations here.
Incorporating in Washington won't hold you back in obtaining venture capital financing
- Washington corporations regularly receive funding from venture capital firms (as reported in the media). (I have yet to hear in my 12+ year legal career a funding source say they wouldn't fund a Washington corporation unless it reincorporated in Delaware–but if one did it would not be a big deal to reincorporate.) Microsoft is a Washington corporation (significantly, it reincorporated to Washington from Delaware).
- In fact, if you study the companies reported in the news media that are reported to have raised funds or done M&A deals and look and see on the Washington Secretary of State's web site where those corporations are formed (http://www.secstate.wa.gov) most Washington-based companies in the news for raising money or doing M&A deals appear to be Washington corporations (with Delaware running a close second from the sampling I've done).
- If you subscribe to our Funding Update Newsletter (you can do this by going to the front page of this blog and hitting the button titled, Subscribe to Funding Update, and then sending the email that you are prompted to send), you will see that Washington corporations regularly close angel and venture financings. It is not an impediment at all to be a Washington corporation.
You avoid potential legal costs down the road
- If you do incorporate in Delaware and happen to run into an issue which is a novel or complex issue under Delaware law in the midst of a transaction, you may have to retain separate Delaware counsel at additional expense for legal opinions. This is a cost that you would avoid if you were incorporated in Washington and working with Washington counsel on your transactions.
Shutting Down a Washington corporation Is Easier and Less Expensive
- It is not uncommon to form a corporation, work on it with your co-founders for a while, and the decide to pack it in.
- It is easier and less expensive to shut down a Washington corporation than a Delaware corporation.
- In Washington, for example, this may cost next to nothing. In Delaware, you will have to file your back taxes, if you are behind, and this can cost several thousand dollars.
Reincorporating in Delaware is not a big deal if you are forced to do so
- If you do run into an investor who will write you a multi-million dollar size check, but only if you are incorporated in Delaware, it is not a big deal to reincorporate.

A Chicago teenager has gone from crime victim to high school hoops hero in just over a week.
Orr Academy's Tyquone Greer was shot in the calf nine days ago when someone opened fire at a party he attended.
"When I heard he had a gun, I got down on the ground and I just heard shots rang out -- multiple shots. My leg started to feel funny after that, and once I got up, that's when I knew I got shot," Greer said.
Greer says the first thing he thought about after he was shot, was basketball. And somehow, he managed to recuperate in time to hit a game-winning three-point shot for his Spartans basketball team Tuesday night against North Chicago, punching a ticket to the state basketball tournament for the second year in a row.
"I'm feeling great," Greer told NBC 5 at practice Wednesday. "We're going back downstate again, and I was able to make the game-winning shot to get my team down there."
Greer says he knew he wouldn't be 100 percent for the game, but he wanted to give his all for the team. In fact, he only played sporadically during the game, but his coach, Louis Adams, put him in when it counted.
"During the game he just kept dragging my arm and pulling me saying, 'Coach put me in, put me in coach.' I tried him one time, he looked OK. The second time was a charm, he did good," Adams said.
Greer took it easy at practice Wednesday, and received some special attention from the team doctor. His personal doctor has given him the green light to play in the state tournament.
"She said everything from here on out is mental. By the bullet missing all of my main arteries and stuff like that, by going through and through, she said play if I want to, but just know my limits. When I heard that, it was a go for me," Greer said.
"I wasn't 100 percent, but I really wanted to be on floor with my team, because everything right now is bigger than me. It's all about my team right now, and winning because we worked so hard for this," Greer said.

dude i was just about to post that haha. Man Tyson is a beast !
that was fan-f*cking-tastic. he IS the man.
Tyson: "Oh...OHHHHH... YEAH!....*claps* YEAHH! YEEEEAAAAH! YEAHHH!"
Did you see Novak's face when he said "I got my dogs in there!"?
"Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand."
Kurt Vonnegut
Tyson is just a beast
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Haha Tyson is the man!!
BTW: Dwight Howard is really short for a center. He's 6'10 at max.
He's big because of his muscle mass, but size wise he's short. He's barely taller than Hedo in that video and Tyson had a good 3 inches on him.
Ewing, David Robinson or Shaq would just destroy Howard, cause they were legit 7 footers with an all-round game and very physical.
Howard is overrated, Tyson shut him down all season long and Tyson is not even as muscular as Robinson or Ewing were.
Off the Topic....Spree its not where u from but where u headed.
Stat & Melo were so hung-up on themselves at the start of the season the two super-stars never took the time to value how high of a level the Knicks became by adding "Tyson Chandler" to roster....Tyson Chandler presence in Chicago, New Orleans, Charlotte, and Dallas.
When Stat & Melo became MIA....Mr. Tyson Chandler took the Knicks to an exciting level of b.ball the kind u see from all-star lineups (Pat Riley Knicks).
Tyson Chandler were able to do this with teammates from the D.League, DNP bench players, and a rookie....Lin, Shump, Fields, Walker, Novak, Jefferies, and himself, no longer played ISO plays, plus they stop the past 3 seasons of a rotation having the green-light to shoot 3-balls whenever they felt like it in our longest winning streak this season. Lastseason winning streak with Stats 30 points per game was no comparison to Tyson Chandler's "Lin-Sanity" attack.

Google's yearly developer conference in May is still a little while away, and despite no hard evidence it should surprise no one to hear that the plan is to release the next version of Android during the event.
It's not easy to keep a secret on the Internet, and Qualcomm will likely spend the rest of the day learning that as their legal team scrambles to squash a leaked document that points to their involvement in the next version of Android.
Since the first public release of Android, Google has stuck to a Linux-style alphabetical naming system for their Operating System. Each letter of the alphabet is turned into a code name for that version of Android, and all of the code names so far have been common desserts. We're on our way to the "K" version of Android this year, and while the Android team at Google IO last year assured everyone that there had been no decision regarding which dessert they would go with, Key Lime Pie is the most popular choice in the Android ecosystem so far.
To give further proof that Android version K is right around the corner, Qualcomm accidentally published a document recently that confirmed the chip company was working with Google on the upcoming update.
As the dominant force in mobile processors today, it comes as no surprise that Qualcomm would be one of the first to collaborate with Google on the OS. Qualcomm's LTE-ready processors have been in nearly every major Android phone of 2012, and will more than likely continue to dominate in 2013.
The documentation leaked by Qualcomm gave no real information regarding the next version of Android, so we still don't know what version number or features to expect in version K. Qualcomm's early participation will hopefully make it easier for manufacturers that have invested heavily in Snapdragon S4 processors to update to the next version quickly, though it is worth noting that so far no hardware but the Nexus devices are currently running Android 4.2.
We'd share the documentation that Qualcomm published accidentally, but it appears that the legal team at Qualcomm has been busy sending takedown notices to anyone who publishes the information. This could be the start of a three month long cycle of leaks leading up to the release of the next version of Android and the hardware it will run on at Google IO 2013.

Numbers From Around The Web: Round 10
Ernesto Ramirez
August 16, 2012
At some point, we've all been frustrated with our experiences interacting with the medical community. This isn't a big secret, especially here in the United States. Many individuals involved in QS meetups around the world gravitate towards news tools and data sources that let them understand and interact with health-related data in news ways. Whether it's because of a genuine medical issue or just out of curiosity, examples of tracking and visualizing medical data are always really interesting. With that in mind we wanted to highlight a neat health tracking project this week.
Kenneth Spriggs has Crohn's disease and he's been collecting and making sense of his medical records since the summer of 2011. Along with trying to better understand his own medical history, partly to understand what went right and what went wrong, he's also spent some time creating some really unique and interesting visualizations. Let's dive right in and see what he's done!
Medical Lifeline
How many different medications have you been on during your lifetime? Probably not the easiest question to answer unless you've been with the same medical system your entire life. One of Kenneth's first forays into his medical data and visualizations was trying to represent My Life on Drugs. Admittedly a hard process that probably required a lot of patience and persistence, Kenneth was able to create a really nice timeline that illustrates his medical history through his medication.
10 Years of Crohn's
If you don't read anything else about Kenneths, his ordeal, and his experience working with his own medical data you should take a look at his amazing 10 Years of Crohn's Disease infographic and accompanying commentary. As you'll see Kenneth did a wonderful job working with his numerical health data as well as written notes, diagrams, and other information sources to paint a picture of how Crohn's disease has impacted his life. Let's just look at a few sections here.
The diagnosis portion of his medical infographic is one part that I find really interesting. Many times we think of QS as only dealing with numerical data, but in the medical universe data can come in all shapes and sizes. By looking at notes and diagrams along with other vital information Kenneth was able to create a much clearer picture of his history.
After Kenneth was diagnosed with Crohn's disease he was prescribed five different medications. Here you'll see the number of side effects he found for those medications and what he's experienced. Along with his medication and side effect history you'll see a histogram of his life history over the last 10 years.
There are so many data gathering and sense-making insights that Kenneth has has done a wonderful job of exploring and explaining. If you're interested in compiling your own medical history and creating your own electronic health record then make sure to take some time perusing DIYEHR .
Every few weeks be on the lookout for new posts profiling interesting individuals and their data. If you have an interesting story or link to share leave a comment or contact the author here.
