Bull! - Tim Conway and Ernie Anderson LP (1966)
I attempted to upload this album last year but encountered audio problems with the mixer. Here it is in corrected, stereophonic glory. Ernie Anderson's voice is instantly recognizable as the voice of ABC and he is beloved by many for his stint as horror movie host Ghoulardi - a character who will be making a couple appearances in this spot in time for Halloween. Tim Conway's voice is instantly recognizable as Tim Conway.
Listen to the whole album - Bull!

Disc Brake How-To
Installing Stillen Cross-Drilled Front Rotors For Dakotas
We made an interesting discovery with the brakes on our 1997 Dakota. When the pad material on the front pads gets thin, it has a tendency to come flying off, leaving a now-bare steel backing plate to grind into the rotors. In our case, it happened two separate times, both on the expressway, and by the time we got home, the lathe-action had rendered our rotors junk.
Always looking to make the best of an unfortunate situation, we took this as an opportunity to upgrade the front discs on our Dakota. Stillen Brake Pros offers cross-drilled front Sport Rotors and high-performance Metal Matrix pads that fit our needs nicely. Cross drilled rotors offer superior stopping power due to the increased air surface created by the cross drilling, which increases the rotors' ability to dissipate heat and cool more effectively. Of course, the rotors also give a racy appearance to the truck that looks great through open wheels, so that swayed us, too.
Stillen's front Sport Rotor kits are available for Rams, Dakotas, and Durangos, and are a direct replacement for the existing components. For those who want more, Stillen also offers a Big Brake Kit employing 4- or 6-piston calipers and massive 13.7-inch cross-drilled rotors. We firmly believe that every dollar spent to go fast should be matched with a dollar spent to make the vehicle stop.
While the front disc swap on a Dakota will only take an hour or two, we spent some extra time and detailed the rotors and brake pads with POR-15, because we hate rust. You also need to know that on Dakotas, the calipers are held in place with a No. 45 Torx head bolt, so you'll need to purchase a Torx socket to fit--don't try using an Allen wrench, because you'll strip out the head. The Stillen components go right in place of the factory pieces, so there are no surprises--simply remove and replace.

Actress Sofia Vergara rejected her publicist's advice to get a breast reduction when she first moved to Hollywood because she didn't want to alter God's work.
The "Modern Famil"y star, who is a size 32F, routinely shows off her curvy figure in form-fitting outfits but the Colombian beauty admits her assets were not always a good thing, confessing her spokesperson once suggested she decrease her cup size in order to land more roles.
She told Katie Couric, "I'm very proud of my body and the way I look. I would be ungrateful to be saying, 'Oh, I'm so mad because people just look at me and see my pretty face.' I thank God for what he has given me and I take advantage of it…At the beginning it was hard, and she (my publicist) used to tell me, 'Maybe you should get to a more normal, standard size.'"
But the actress' proud Latin mother talked her out of it, telling the actress that most women were desperate to be just like her.

What's one of the most important attributes appraisers use in determining the sale price of a townhouse? According to Jonathan Miller, president of appraisal firm Miller Samuel, it's the width, writes a recent article in The Real Deal.
But wider homes don't necessarily sell for higher prices per square foot--location and layout factor in. A 13-foot, four-bedroom townhouse at 35 West 12th in Greenwich Village sold for $5.2 million in 2011, while the same year, a 20-foot, two-family townhouse at 69 Bedford Street went for $2.6 million. Important, too, is how far the width deviates from the Manhattan average.
U.S. & World
Wider townhouses are a high commodity, offering a buyer more flexibility to work with the original floor plan. However, even with ample space, if the design does not take advantage of that space, the value is decreased. Miller warns against "throwing amenities at a property and not considering a key attribute like width."
There's something to the skinny houses, too. "There is some cachet behind having the tiniest townhouse around. You can boast about that," said Sofia Song of StreetEasy.

Tel Aviv is a classic city for commuting by bike. Thousands of the city residents use no other form of transportation. The city is flat, small in size, and rich in content.
Tel Aviv is a classic city for commuting by bike. Thousands of the city residents use no other form of transportation. The city is flat, small in size, and rich in content. There is something interesting to see on every street corner of this city that never stops. The following route is only a suggested guideline of where to go and not an outline of everything that can be seen on the way, for it would be impossible for us to list all the colors, smells, people, art, shows, museums and life that make up this wonderful city. A large number of the city streets have bike lanes which we recommend using, but some streets do not. Do not forget a helmet and lock when riding around town.
Start your day by Riding South on the Seafront (Herbert Samuel Blvd). This will take you along the public beaches of the city into the old city of Jaffa. Ride into the Port, and there leave your bike to explore the alleys and churches of ancient Jaffa. Ride out of the port heading to the Jaffa Flea Market, where you can find nearly anything from clothing and toys to jewelry, art, souvenirs, etc.
Head north out of Jaffa, crossing the bridge at Abarbanel Street into Neve Tsedek - the first neighborhood built out of Jaffa and in the "new" city of Tel Aviv back in 1887 – where it all began. Ride through the tranquil and colorful streets of the area, enjoy the public art and galleries, and stop into one of the fashionable cafes located everywhere.
Head towards the Shalom Tower and join the bike lane along Rothschild Blvd. Follow the bike lane through the heart of the "White City" and observe the architecture that claimed this area a UNESCO world heritage site. You will arrive at the Bima Theater and the Dizengoff Center; the commercial heart of Tel Aviv.
Follow the side streets parallel to Dizengoff, and then head east towards the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. After Visiting the Museum, stay on the inner streets, parallel to Iben Gvriol, going north to the Medina Plaza (Kikar Ha'Medina). Take some time to explore the fashion and boutique stores and the park situated in this high class area.
Continue north, until you reach the park on the south shore of the Yarkon river. Ride along the peaceful bike lane towards the sea that will eventually bring you to the port of Tel Aviv. Follow the many bike routes of this historical location before heading back to the beachfront, where we started off.

Welcome to the Warren County Public School's website
A number of years ago our school division adopted the theme The Trek to Excellence Takes Everyone. Community members, community leadership, parents, school staff and students all play a part on our trek to excellence. What we have learned is that our public schools are part of what makes our community a vibrant place to work, live and play. The strength of our school system impacts the strength of our community.
Our trek is ongoing and we continue to need everyone to be an active participant to ensure that all of our students reach their highest potential as they experience the Warren County Public School system. The support our community shows for our students makes all the difference in their success.
Thank you for supporting our students and please do not hesitate to contact your child's school, any of our departments or us if you have questions, ideas or concerns.

One World Trade Tops Out; What's Next?
One World Trade Center, the signature tower being built at Ground Zero,reached its peak Friday morning, with the final piece of its mast being installed at 1,776 feet above street level.
The event marks a milestone for the redevelopment of the World Trade Center, one of America's most prominent construction projects. The 16-acre swath of Lower Manhattan has been largely fenced off from the rest of the city since terrorists felled the Twin Towers.
Construction, however, is still ongoing, and will be for some time to come. The building isn't set to open to tenants—and the public—until sometime in 2015.
Why has the building taken so long?
First planned in 2003, One World Trade has been slowed in large part by having too many cooks in the kitchen as a series of New York and New Jersey governors, two different private developers, a public-agency developer, and a host of other actors have guided its rise.

Have you sent a Support request about this issue?
SUCCES with the support of arturia hahahahahahaaaaaaaaa They probably say you have to install the latest update OMG.
My ENV amount knob seems to work fine. There is some dead space at the end of the knobs for most parameters. But other than that everything works as it should. Try setting filter keyboard tracking to 0%, Cutoff to minimum and LP filter mode. Put filter envelope to full sustain and play with the filter envelope amount knob. I get changes almost to the maximum setting.
Here's what the patch sounds like on mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAjth-UM18g The only times I had issues with the filter were when I forgot that the mod wheel was set to cutoff (demonstrated the second time the riff is played).

Oh boy, the media in New York will have a lot to say about A-Rod's comments for Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf:
A-Rod loves Chicago and White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf, as well: "To me, he's the greatest guy. He loves baseball and the people in it. It seems all he cares about is that the White Sox win. Look at the move he made to let his general manager go for Jake Peavy. Chicago fans should love the guy. He's all about winning."
The greatest. As in the best there is. Better than the Yankees owners.
A-Rod commented on Gordon Beckham too:
In closing, A-Rod talked to me about White Sox third base phenom Gordon Beckham: "He looks like a wonderful player. Wow, what a natural stroke, nice and compact, just like a young Paul Molitor. I think he's going to be outstanding."

Maker movement in schools taps into rich tradition of educational reform
At ConnectSafely we see a connection between safety and engagement. Kids who are vested in their educational projects — especially collaborative ones — are more likely to respect themselves and others and less likely to act out.
And there is a lot to be said about encouraging kids to be creators, not just consumers. I don't expect everyone to be designing the next electric vehicle, killer tablet or even smartphone app or Web page, but I do like it when people — especially children and teens — are actively engaged in creating their own innovations.
It doesn't have to be complicated. It could be as simple as creating your own blog or posting impressive graphics on Pinterest or using some of your digital photographs to create a calendar or picture book. Even posting cool comments on Twitter or Facebook is an act of creation, if you put some thought into it.
One of the more encouraging signs is the "Maker Movement," which seems to be growing exponentially. Taking advantage of 3D printers, inexpensive microcontrollers, robotics, computer-aided design and the ability to control machines with computers, tablets and smartphones, more and more people are using technology to build things.
In May, I spent a fascinating day at the annual Maker Faire at the San Mateo Event Center, where I got to see hundreds of people creating their own things. Some — like 3D printing and DIY drones (as in "do it yourself") — were very high-tech. Others, like crafts, crochet and food, involved technologies invented hundreds or even thousands of years ago. But what every exhibit had in common was the notion that people can "make" their own things.
Actually, it wasn't just things. I helped "make" the electricity to power my son's Will Magid Trio concert at the Rock the Bike stage at the Faire by peddling one of several stationary bikes connected to a generator. I also enjoyed a smoothie that was made using a converted Vitamix blender powered by a stationary bicycle called the "Fender Blender Pro." In an age where people associate smoothies with Jamba Juice and other chains, it was great to see kids not just mixing their own drinks, but actually making the power to blend it.
School and youth projects
What I liked most about the Faire were all the school and youth projects on display. Working with the UC Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science, the Tech Museum of Innovation and the Bay School, the organizers of the Faire this year showed off their "Young Makers" projects that included student-made microscopes, toys, balloon projects, solar vehicles and much more.
The Maker Faire is associated with Make magazine, a quarterly guide to all things do it yourself. Make's website, makezine.com, is worth a visit for anyone who wants to learn more about how to become a "maker."
A manual for teachers and parents
There is now a book aimed at educators wanting to inspire students to become makers called "Invent to Learn: Making, Tinkering and Engineering in the Classroom," by Sylvia Libow Martinez and Gary Stager.
Part philosophical treatise, part hands-on recipes and part inspirational, the book helps teachers and parents come up with projects to engage kids. They range from creating customized projects to programming computers and mobile devices to creating your own wearable computers such as a sweatshirt with turn signals that flash while you peddle your bike. There is advice on how to use Legos to make your own robots or how to incorporate Arduino, an open source single-board microcontroller that's being used increasingly to create or control objects or environments that can interact with sensors.
There are Arduino-controlled devices that can display text, turn on appliances, make robots move or even allow a cat to send a tweet when it plays with an Arduino-controlled toy.
The book's page on "The eight elements of a good project" is worth the price of admission because it helps the reader understand what can work in a classroom. Martinez and Stager don't want teachers to dumb down projects but encourage ones that "prompt intrigue in the learner, enough to have him or her invest time, effort and creativity in the development of the project." There is also advice on how to plan a project and how to find the necessary materials.
Historical context
I was also glad to see the authors put the maker movement into an historical context with a chapter devoted to the history of how educators, artists and inventors — beginning with Leonard da Vinci — have been encouraging DYI projects. I was pleased to see them pay homage to John Dewey, who, they write, "advocated for students to be actively engaged in authentic interdisciplinary projects connected to the real word." And I was personally gratified that they mentioned the resurgence in "open education, classroom centers, and project-based learning" during the 60s and 70s, because I was deeply involved in that during my UC Berkeley days, when I helped run the Center for Participant Education. Later, I ran the Center for Educational Reform, in Washington DC.
But, of course, all of us — even Leonardo da Vinci — were late comers as far as the maker movement is concerned. Our prehistoric ancestors figured out how to turn stones into tools so that they could make things. Only they didn't have fairs, books and websites to document the process.

Revision as of 22:17, 17 March 2016
The TP-Link TD-W9970 is for use on any service on networks using Bells' DSL infrastructure. NCF sells these modems to all members.
This is the procedure NCF uses to configure a TP-Link TD-W9970 modem out of the box or after a factory reset. To learn more about configuring your particular modem, consult the manual.
Configure router for Dual-Mode ADSL/VDSL operation
Your router can support both ADSL and VDSL modes. If necessary, you could switch between ADSL and VDSL plans without having to buy a new router or even reconfigure your existing one.
Settings for VDSL
We will start with the mode used for VDSL connections. These include the following NCF DSL Plans:
- Freedom 15-10/300
- Freedom 25/300
- Freedom 50/300
Quick Setup
NOTE: If the modem is brand new, "user name: admin" and "password: admin" will gain access. If the modem is not new, it is recommended to reset the modem to the factory defaults by holding down the Reset/Wi-Fi button for 6 to 9 seconds and then do step 1.
1. Once you access the modem from your browser at http://192.168.1.1 and login (user name: admin and password: admin), click the link high-lighted in red (Quick Setup).
Add Settings for ADSL
Moving on now to add settings for ADSL. ADSL is required for the following NCF DSL Plans:
- Freedom 6/300
- Freedom 7/300
- Freedom 15-1/300
Configure as bridge
Do this only if you prefer to use your own external router rather than the one built into your TP-Link unit.
- Connect power and turn on the modem with the button on the back.
- Connect an Ethernet LAN cable to one of the yellow rear ports
- In the browser's address bar, enter the IP address for the modem interface page: 192.168.1.1
- If the modem is fresh from the factory, use the default user name and password to gain access
- user: admin
- password: admin
If the modem was previously configured for someone, the password would be the previous user's DSL password. If it is unknown then do a reset to factory default, press the reset/Wi-Fi button on the back. Hold for 6 to 9 seconds to reset. The user name and password will now be as above.
- Click on Quick Setup.
See screenshots below:
Modem Password Setup
Click on the "System Tools" link on the LH side of the page, then "Manage Control". Change the modem access password to NCF standard.
Configuring Time Zone
Click on the "System Tools" link on the LH side of the page, then "Time Settings". Set the timezone to Eastern Standard Time, enable DST (Daylight Savings Time), and set the NTP server to the NRC clocks (time.nrc.ca).
Turn on the Firewall
- Click 'Firewall' in the left column
- Select 'Enable Firewall'

To Remember Her By
As part of that, we parents were given a 12"x12" piece of scrapbook paper and asked to make a page with our child to present to the teacher at the ceremony. So in between breakfast (peanut butter sandwiches and watermelon, prepared and eaten and cleaned up after completely by delighted little girls, who think that being in charge of their own breakfast is the height of grown-up luxury) and laundry and goofing around (the girls with bubbles and Dinosaur Bingo; me with Awkward Family Photos--I'm totally going to submit some from my own childhood) and lunch (me this time, maximizing the usage of the peanut butter and bread demolished in the making of breakfast) and drawing out on the back deck and bullying Willow through getting ready for school (only two more days, I told her, and then yes, you can wear your shorts without panties), the girls and I made this scrapbook page for Willow's sweet teacher:
It looks a little funky where I awkwardly stitched two separate scans together in Photoshop (whenever my scanner finally craps out--and it has lasted FOREVER--I am buying the scanner with the largest scanning bed that will fit in my house), and the color scheme scanned a little strange (Is the scanner starting to crap out, I wonder?), but it's a pretty accurate estimation overall.
The photo mats are some pieces of upholstery remnant that I had cut and sewn to be coasters, but I didn't like them and threw them in the scrap pile. The photos themselves, and Willow's name, are printed on a sheet of printable fabric--I didn't use my Bubble Jet Set because it takes some time to soak and air-dry, and I was, of course, over deadline with this page. Nifty little trick--super-saturate your print job when you print on fabric, because the fabric sucks up so much ink that otherwise your photos will come out a lot lighter than you'd intended.
Willow drew and decorated the hearts with Sharpies on brown paper bag, and then I cut them out (oh, the tragic cutting of lefties! While the girls were drawing on the brown paper, I actually drew and cut out some practice cutting pages for them--I'll show you those some other time, because they're neat-o) and hand-stitched them on with buttons and red thread. Will also put her handprint, done in brown acrylic paint, on the bottom right upholstery mat, and then I machine-stitched the upholstery mats to the scrapbook page and the fabric photo prints to the upholstery mats. Done and done.
Now for end-of-the-year gifts for all three teachers...

such a nice gift. that bubble jet set sounds incredible. won't you please tell me where one finds freezer paper around here? i've wanted to ask you ever since you posted about the freezer paper stencils.
that is so cool that the girls get to make their own breakfast. i bet the afternoon pre-school schedule is annoying in lots of ways, but those slower, easy mornings with the girls sound precious too.

Unfortunately, you can't find Bubble Jet Set around here. I order it from Dharma Trading Company, and I usually order freezer paper there that is cut to exactly 8.5"x11", on account of my computer is VERY finicky and doesn't like it when I hand-cut paper down to size. I think I even bought the super-fancy fabric paint there that I use a lot.
Slow, easy mornings ARE super-nice. These days I'm also blissed out to be enjoying slow, easy afternoons, slow, easy evenings, slow, easy nights...

text: From The Telegraph of London: "Elena Lazzarini, a researcher from Pisa University, believes the enormous fresco is replete with homosexual imagery, including a man being dragged into Damnation by his testicles and kisses and embraces between male figures. She has explored the theory in a new book, claiming that Michelangelo drew much of his knowledge of male anatomy from his frequent visits to gay brothels and 'Turkish baths' in 16th century Italy."The virile male bodies are inspired by the physiology of labourers engaged in physical exertion, with taut muscles, strenuous exertion and pain etched into the expression on their faces. She said it was well documented that Michelangelo, who is believed by many historians to have been homosexual, frequented bathhouses and steam rooms tucked away in Rome's maze of cobbled alleyways. "The bathhouses had many rooms where people could take hot and cold baths and massages. "And then there were other, secluded rooms, places of promiscuity and both male and female prostitution." For a closer look at some of the gayest images from Michelangelo's famous painting, and humorous investigation/analysis of Lazzarini's sure-to-be-controversial claim, please read Excellent writer Brian Molyan's post on Gawker.

Archive for the 'Luau' tag
Introducing Palm Island: Luau Edition!
To be more precise, this new Luau Edition of Palm Island is really a "reintroduction". Our first version of Palm Island was released in the summer of 2011. Since that time, we've learned quite a bit and developed a lot of great features, so we decided to put together this major upgrade to the world.
Whether you've used the original version of Palm Island or this version is your first, you will appreciate just how beautiful and vibrant this world is. Take a look at this comparison picture between the two versions (more pictures below):
Of course, the changes are much more than skin deep. Players are immersed in a world where they are programmers-in-training under Commander Roxie Rivet-minder. In addition to programming their robots to traverse the boardwalk path as part of the typical training regiment, they will have to prepare for a Luau Commander Rivet-minder is throwing by setting Lobster Traps, collecting Coconut Clusters, and placing Trash Bins. Just look at some of these shots from the world:
As players make progress, they'll earn badges in the game, which can also be tied to a CS2N.org (Computer Science Student Network) account (click here to create your free account).
There's a ton of new features and functionality included in Palm Island: Luau Edition, too many to give justice to in one short blog post, so we'll be highlighting different features in the coming days and weeks. A quick snapshot of some of these new features includes:
- A completely refreshed world with new art and immersion elements
- New side missions, a keyboard control area, and a line tracking element

I really don't think I would.
The person I loved was dying. I begged the 'powers that be' for her life. I think when you are desperate you will do anything. She died. I didn't blame any supernatural beings although I did lost interest in life for a while.
I think it is situations where you are losing someone you believe is critical to you, you need a focal point for your despair. So you beg and plead and do all sorts of acrobatics in your head, mainly because you're a bit deranged at that stage. Am I proud of it? No. But I am honest with myself. It helped a bit at the time. Not the thought that there might be something out there that could help. Just the focal point.
Oddly enough, I begged 'gods' not a singular one. Weird, that.
Would I do it again? No, I don't think so. I don't think that happens more than once.
Imagine you're falling off a cliff. You scream, "HELP!". But you aren't really expecting someone to reply, or a big puffy hand to catch you. It's just the conditioning of the social animal in us to seek support from whatever is around us when we are desperate.
Nope. I was the only person in my family at my uncles bedside in the hospital not praying while he was dying from cancer.
Yeah, I think you have to be pretty desperate, to lose your mind. i should have mentioned the woman I lost was my partner.
I'm sorry for your loss, I hope you and your partner enjoyed the time you had together.
That was sweet, Jonathan. We had some great times, and I have no regrets, but thank you for that.
What I'd do depends on the situation, but none of the options that flash through my mind include prayer. If they were dying and it was just a matter of time - No, I wouldn't waste time praying. I'd spend that time enjoying their company while I still could.
That's one of the reasons I ran away from religion. My godmother was the most religious person I knew, she was like my 2nd mother. She was struck with brain cancer that just ravaged her and erased every bit of who she was. She died a week from my wedding day, and I can't see how "God" would take someone in such a cruel way, especially someone who believed in him so much.
I will never kneel to an imaginary being again.
No, at least not anymore. This is the kind of thing those disgusting clergy and salesmen of death prey on. They prey on a person's weak moment. Oh you'll convert when you're sick and on your deathbed. Oh you'll pray to Gawd when your child is sick. etc
You know, the same cunts who spread lies about famous atheists converting on their deathbeds.
Let me tell you a story.
One time... I indeed did fall victim to a moment of weakness. I was young, and because I had no religious upbringing, I didn't even know who or what to pray to. I was desperate, sad, in pain, angry.. but I knew about this concept of a deity. Someone or something all powerful that could grant wishes and stuff, it was strange to me. But I knew it was called god, and so in my thoughts I began to pray to this vague cloudy image of a god that I had. I prayed. I begged. Thought that if he would relieve me of the pain that I felt, I would pray to him everyday...
It wasn't anyone's death.
It was when I had some wicked diarrhea and my ass was sore from all the wiping. I was sitting on the toilet as I was praying. Yes, that was my weak moment. And after a day when it passed and my shit became solid again, I just flushed it down along with the idea of a god and all the promises I made to him.
Fool me once, fucker.
I've lost a few people since I became atheist, and prayer was never an impulse.
I would only make an allowance if a friend or relative who was dying wanted me to pray with them; in that case I would do it out of respect for them in their hour of need.

It was hardly a display of offensive proficiency by either team, but Georgia scored enough Wednesday night to keep its late-January momentum going.
The Bulldogs broke a tie game and outscored Auburn 14-6 in the final 3:44 for a 57-49 victory in Stegeman Coliseum.
Georgia entered as the lowest-scoring team in the Southeastern Conference. Auburn was 10th in the SEC in field-goal percentage.
Those facts didn't make watching the Bulldogs hit three field goals in the first 10 minutes of the second half while Auburn made two any easier.
But none of that mattered for Georgia after it won for the third time in four games.
"That was an SEC dogfight," Georgia coach Mark Fox said. "It was an ugly game. It really was. It was so physical. We missed enough free throws to make me go crazy. We fouled 3-point shooters twice.
"We did some things that just drive a coach nuts, but both teams were playing so hard, and when you're playing that hard, it's hard to play pretty."
Auburn matched its lowest point total of the season as it shot 28.3 percent from the field and made 15 of 27 from the foul line.
Georgia wasn't much better on free throws, making 15 of 26 and committing 16 turnovers.
Guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope led the way as usual for Georgia with 20 points and had a game-high 10 rebounds.
He hit 7 of 11 shots, but the rest of the teams shot 12 of 32.
Georgia (9-11, 3-4 SEC) won back-to-back SEC regular-season games for the first time since knocking off Arkansas and Mississippi State on Feb. 8 and 11 last season.
The Bulldogs were coming off their first road win of the season at Texas A&M.
"We're climbing our way up the ladder," Caldwell-Pope said. "This is a turning point for us."
The Bulldogs can go to .500 in conference play with a win at South Carolina on Saturday afternoon.
The Gamecocks were pounded by No. 4 Florida in Gainesville, Fla., on Wednesday night, 75-36.
A crowd of 4,767 was in attendance in Athens on a day of strong storms across the state - with tornado warning and watches.
Fans who ventured out to Stegeman dealt with gusty winds and rain in Athens prior to a game that went down to the final minutes.
Charles Mann's scoop layup with 3:40 to go gave Georgia a 45-43 lead and the freshman guard got a rebound on the other end off an Auburn miss. Mann (10 points, career-high six assists) then fed Donte' Williams under the basket, who laid it off the glass and completed a three-point play for a 48-43 lead with 2:59 to go.
"We just had to tighten things up and start making plays," Mann said. "We've been closing games out. It's a big confidence booster for the whole team."
Auburn (8-12, 2-5) trimmed the lead to two, but Caldwell-Pope's follow off a Sherrard Brantley miss put Georgia ahead 50-46 with 1:07 to go, and after a miss by Auburn guard Chris Denson (12 points), Brantley was fouled and made 1 of 2 from the line.
Auburn pulled to within four, but Nemanja Djurisic's outlet pass to Mann for a layup with 22.1 seconds left made it 55-49, and Vincent Williams added a pair of free throws for the final points of the game.
The Tigers dropped their fifth straight game.
"You can't miss every shot you take, every free throw you take," said Auburn guard Frankie Sullivan, who went 4 of 12 from the field and 4 of 8 from the line and shared the team scoring lead of 13 with Allen Payne. "We were getting open shots, we just couldn't make them."
Georgia entered holding an 89-88 edge in the all-time series with the average margin of victory in the series of 1.11 points per game. This one was close for most of the game, with the lead changing five times in the first half when neither team led by more than six. The Bulldogs led 26-22 at the half.
The game included a combined 46 fouls.
"Both teams were flat-out getting after it," Fox said. "When two teams do that, it's like a 6-3 football game."
Caldwell-Pope admitted getting frustrated by some "bad calls." He took an elbow to the nose at one point from Sullivan, but no foul was called.
Caldwell-Pope and the Bulldogs still got what they wanted-another win.
"We'll take that one," Caldwell-Pope said.

The arts scene comes alive at the tail-end of each summer when its Whitney White Linen Night weekend. Every year on the first Saturday evening of August—this year, it's Saturday, August 3rd—Julia St in the Warehouse District comes alive for three hours whilst crowds of white-clad art lovers roam up and down the blocks of art galleries
About two dozen galleries in all open the doors each year to showcase their best and current works. These special collections are something that has to be seen to be believed—paintings, drawings, sculptures, abstract art and full-room projects transform the street into a sanctuary of artistic design. And to the delight of their patrons, some galleries even offer free wine—while it lasts.
For others, beverages are served via tickets dispensed at cash bars located throughout the span of the art walk. There's also a large selection of local restaurants offering their wares to event attendees.
Besides the art, another aspect that draws throngs of people to this massive art gathering is the myriad of white clothing donned by nearly everyone in attendance. In the true tradition of southern summer living, white linen is worn because of the lightness and airiness of the fabric, perfectly suited for outdoor New Orleans carousing during arguably the hottest time of the year.
Certainly not everyone wears white linen, but the color tradition is respected and adhered to nevertheless. You'll see everything from flirty dresses and full white seersucker suits to white tube tops and gogo boots. Many will be dressed to impresse in their Sunday's best.
And following the annual event is the annual after-party hosted by the Contemporary Arts Center. Guests will enjoy live music and refreshments in addition to more art work on display. While White Linen Night is free, there is a $10 admission fee to this event, but it's a popular way to keep the fun going when the earlier event is over.

|The University of Sydney
The existence of the planet, Kepler-37b, the innermost of three planets that orbit the sun-like host star, Kepler-37, is announced in the journal Nature.
The University of Sydney's Professor Tim Bedding, Head of the School of Physics, and Dr Dennis Stello, an Australian Research Fellow in the School, contributed to the discovery effort of an international team.
"That we have found one of these small and hard-to-detect planets suggests that they are abundant around other stars and lends weight to the belief that as planet size decreases their occurrence increases exponentially," said Dr Stello.
Kepler-37b is an exoplanet, or planet located outside the solar system, and is estimated to be a similar size to Earth's moon, which is only 3475 kilometres in diameter.
Owing to this extremely small size and its highly irradiated surface, Kepler-37b is believed to be a rocky planet with no atmosphere or water, similar to Mercury.
The Kepler spacecraft made the Kepler-37b finding possible. The spacecraft was launched in 2009 with the goal of determining how often rocky planets occur in the habitable zone around sun-like host stars in our galaxy.
Over 150,000 stars are continuously monitored for transits of planetary bodies. Over the course of 978 days of observations by the Kepler spacecraft, transit signals of three planets of the star Kepler-37, a slightly cooler and older star than our sun, were identified.
"While theoretically such small planets are expected, detection of tiny planet Kepler-37b is remarkable given its transit signal is detectable on less than 0.5 percent of stars observed by Kepler," Professor Bedding said.
"Since the discovery of the first exoplanet we have known that other planetary systems can look quite unlike our own, but it is only now, thanks to the precision of the Kepler space telescope that we have been able to find planets smaller than the ones we see in our own solar system."
Professor Bedding and Dr Stello contributed to the analysis of Kepler-37, the star Kepler-37b orbits.
"We analysed the frequencies of standing sound waves inside the star to tell its size in the same way that you could tell the difference in size of a violin and cello by the difference in the pitch of the sound they produce," said Dr Stello.
This asteroseismic analysis showed that the radius of Kepler-37 is about 20 percent smaller than the sun.
"Knowing this stellar radius is very important because the accuracy with which we can measure the radius of the planet Kepler-37b is limited by how accurately we can calculate the radius of Kepler-37," said Dr Stello.
"Our work from here is to keep working with the planet team at NASA to make seismic analyses of planet-hosting stars, and there are some exciting results in the pipeline," said Dr Stello.

FragranceNet.com, Inc. v. Les Parfums, Inc., — F.Supp.2d —, 2009 WL 4609268 (E.D.N.Y. December 8, 2009)
FragranceNet.com sells perfume online. It sued several of its competitors, claiming trademark infringement and other causes of action like unfair competition and unjust enrichment, over the defendants' alleged purchase of variations of the term "fragrancenet" to trigger sponsored links on Google results pages. These sponsored links allegedly drove traffic to defendants' websites.
The defendants moved to dismiss the complaint. Had this case been filed a year ago, the defendants may have argued that the case should be dismissed because the purchase of keywords to trigger sponsored links was not "use" of the marks. But in light of the Rescuecom decision from this past spring, defendants were constrained to argue differently.
They claimed that the case should be dismissed because the purchased keywords are generic terms and therefore not protectible as trademarks. The court rejected this argument, holding that it was inappropriate to determine whether the marks are generic at the motion to dismiss stage because plaintiff had adequately stated plausible trademark claims in its complaint. The question of genericness is better considered with some actual facts.

Parts of a logical argument
(Redirected from Premise)
In classical logic, a logical argument consists of parts called propositions which are classified as premises, inferences, and conclusions. These terms are defined below.
- proposition
- Any statement that could be true or false.
- premise
- A proposition stated without justification (by evidence or logical reasoning) that begins an argument. (Actually, the premise need not be stated explicitly, and need not come first in an argument, but it is always assumed to be true without further justification. Premises may be questioned, in which case they would need to be justified — but then they would no longer be the premises of the original argument.)
- inference
- A proposition that is derived from one or more premises through well defined logical rules. (The overall process of reasoning from premises to conclusions may also be known as inference.)
- conclusion
- A proposition that is the endpoint, or final goal, of a logical argument.

During the funeral for two Santa Cruz, Calif., police officers killed in the line of duty, former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta did something unexpected: He dove into the killer's background — and gave commentary on the problem of sexual assault in the military.
"We do know that he had a history of sexual violence both in and out of the military, and for whatever reason, people somehow always look the other way," Panetta said Thursday.
Jeremy Goulet, who was killed in a gun battle with police after he fatally shot two Santa Cruz police officers, was accused of raping two military officers in 2006 while in the army. A plea bargain allowed him to walk away with a less than honorable discharge.
U.S. & World
"At some point, somebody pays a price," Panetta said.
While the former Pentagon chief never said it outright, many believe Panetta implied that that dismissed case so many years ago may have ultimately led to the death of the two Santa Cruz police officers last Tuesday.
The problem of sexual assault in the military has been well-documented and was an issue Panetta spent much of his time at the Defense Department addressing.
"I thought Secretary Panetta was responding from his heart as a human being in responding to a crisis and a tragedy really in terms of how well we've taken care of the problem of sexual assault in the military and how both the victims and the perpetrators of those crimes haven't been managed appropriately in past years," said Beth Hillman, a professor of law at the University of California – Hastings and the president of the National Institute for Military Justice.
Experts estimate that as many as 19,000 military women and men are sexually assaulted every year, but only 13 percent ever report the attacks.
Many believe that is because the current system for prosecuting the cases gives too much power to commanding officers.
"I think it's time to take this problem away from our military leaders and put it in the hands of independent prosecutors and investigators who can manage this without worrying about the impact or the reputation of the military," Hillman said.
Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) agrees. "The commanding officer is the judge and the jury. The commanding officer when you report a rape can decide not to pursue it, not to have it investigated," she said in a statement.
The congresswoman has introduced three bills in hopes of creating an environment that better protects victims and reduces what many call a "good ol' boys" network that in some cases protects predators.
"Rapes will continue in the military, sexual assaults, sexual harassment unless we take dramatic steps to change it," Speier said.

BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea's first chapter releases today, and as it deals with events after the twists-and-turns thriller of Infinite, there are few options for seeing what it's all about without confronting a faceful of spoilers. 2K Games' launch trailer looks like a safe approach, though.
It's Booker and it's Elizabeth, the two main characters of Infinite, it's Rapture, which we've seen before, just in better times (relatively speaking.) I have no idea who that creepshow doctor(?) is but if I'm gonna have to listen to him rant weird clichés as I pursue him throughout the city, it's gonna be a long day. Actually, it's not that long of a day—about three hours.
Kirk Hamilton supplied his impressions yesterday but yes, they go into great detail about the main story of Infinite; suffice to say, he recommends you finish that game before reading about this, much less playing it. If you're in that camp and for now you just want to see what Rapture looked like before everything went to hell, this will do.

"President Obama plans to give up 5 percent of his salary this year to draw attention to the financial sacrifice of more than 1 million federal employees who will be furloughed."
-- The Washington Post, April 4
"Here's the plan. We get the warhead and we hold the world ransom for one million dollars!"
-- Dr. Evil in "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery"
At the annual White House Easter Egg Roll last week, President Obama decided to shoot some hoops with the kids, and wound up going only 2-for-22.
The abysmal field goal percentage -- 9 percent -- would get him hooted out of any neighborhood rec center. Yet even that paltry percentage is better than Obama is shooting for victims of federal budget cuts. They get only 5 percent from Obama.
Federal workers face unpaid furloughs because of the automatic spending cuts known as sequestration. That's a serious economic hardship for many middle-class families, and whether or not Obama actually intended for it to happen, it's a direct result of a bill he signed into law.
And so the White House announced that Obama, "to share in the sacrifice being made by public servants," would return 5 percent of his salary to the Treasury. The gesture, matched by several Cabinet members, was meant to be symbolic. But the amount -- $20,000 of his $400,000 salary -- is so little for a man made wealthy by his political fame that it comes across as patronizing.
Obama and his wife reported income of $8 million his first three years in office, largely from royalties on his memoirs, which were best-sellers because of his political fame. And the Obamas will soon go from rich to filthy rich. Bill Clinton earned $89 million in speaking fees in his first 11 years out of the White House, according to an analysis of disclosures done last year by CNN. He had received an average of $189,000 per appearance -- a record Obama will be in a good position to match after his term ends.
For a man worth millions and soon to be worth tens of millions, $20,000 is not much of a sacrifice.
This should matter a great deal more than jump shots for Obama, who won re-election largely by beating Mitt Romney in the empathy department. In 2012 exit polls, voters who said they were primarily voting for the person who "cares about people like me" chose Obama over Romney, 81.2 percent to 17.6 percent. Obama lost among voters who were primarily seeking the traits of "strong leader," "vision for the future" and somebody who "shares my values."
Certainly, sequester insensitivity isn't Obama's problem alone. House Republicans championed legislation that would have cut off pay to members of Congress if they didn't pass a budget, but there has been little sentiment to share in the sequester pain. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, whose net worth was put last year at $26 million or more, said that taking a pay cut wouldn't "respect the work we do" and was beneath "the dignity of the job." There's no word yet on whether House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid or Vice President Biden will join in the sacrifice.
There are a few exceptions, including the admirable case of Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., a first-term congresswoman and a double-amputee from the Iraq war. She's cutting her own pay 8.4 percent -- closer to the level many of her constituents will feel from the sequestration cuts. But she's the rare case: The Hill newspaper surveyed all Senate offices and found that only five senators, two Republicans and three Democrats, were giving up some pay.
A pay cut could be painful for members of Congress who rely on their $174,000 annual salaries. But many if not most of them will eventually cash in on their government service, taking corporate or lobbying jobs. And nobody has more earnings potential from his government service than the president. Shouldn't they all be taking better care of the millions whose public service has just as much "dignity" but who don't get rich from it?
During the First and Second World Wars, there were "dollar-a-year men" who left lucrative private-sector careers to serve their country in Washington. If Obama really wants to share in the furloughed workers' "sacrifice," he should follow that honorable example and give back all but a dollar of his $400,000 salary. In a few years, he'll be able to earn it back with a couple days' work.

This tutorial follows in sequence to my Linked List tutorial. It builds off of many of the concepts of Linked Lists, so if you are uncomfortable working with custom Linked Lists, you should check out my Linked List Tutorials.
So let's start with talking about what a Graph is. Basically, a Graph is a group of points, also called edges or vertices, which can be connected by pointers or connectors that (can) record the distances between the two points. So we see two classes beginning to develop already- an Edge class and a Connector class.
Since the Edges are the basis of Graphs, let's talk about them a little. Just like in high school Geometry, Edges are basically points that can connect to an infinite number of other points. However, they also act like Linked Nodes in the fact that they can store data. So visually, our "Linked List" is now becoming more web-like and less linear.
Now that we've talked about Edges, let's define the Edge class:
/* * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates * and open the template in the editor. */ package datastructures; import java.util.*; public class Edge<E>{ private static int ID = 0; //counts how many Edges exist /* When working with weighted Graphs, having an element becomes important. For example, in game programming, the weights could represent a lag or a hidden bonus that could make winning significantly easier. */ private E elem; private int id; //the individual Edge identifier private int weight; //holds Pointer objects, which reference other Edges private LinkedList<Connector<E>> pointers; //constructors public Edge(){ //invoke constructor to initialize elem to null pointer this(null, Integer.MAX_VALUE); } public Edge(E elem, int distance){ this.elem = elem; id = ID++; //assign indv id and increment static ID counter pointers = new LinkedList<Connector<E>>(); this.weight = distance; } //accessors and mutators public int getId(){return id;} public E getElem(){return elem;} public void setElem(E elem){this.elem = elem;} public int getDistance(){return weight;} public void setDistance(int dist){weight = dist;} //add a connection not taking distances into account public void connectTo(Edge<E> other){ Connector<E> c = new Connector<E>(this, other); //prevents adding duplicate connectors if(!pointers.contains(c)) pointers.add(c); //reference Connector in other Edge as well LinkedList<Connector<E>> conn = other.getConnections(); if(!conn.contains(c)) conn.add(c); } public void connectTo(Edge<E> other, int distance){ Connector<E> c = new Connector<E>(this, other, distance); if(!pointers.contains(c)) pointers.add(c); } public LinkedList<Connector<E>> getConnections(){return pointers;} public void sortConnections(){ Collections.sort(pointers); } public Iterator<Connector<E>> iterator(){ return pointers.iterator(); } //one Edge is equal to another if the two elems are equal to each other //and they have the same Connections public boolean equals(Edge<E> other){ if(other.pointers.size() != pointers.size()) return false; LinkedList<Connector<E>> temp = new LinkedList<Connector<E>>(pointers); //if the elems are equal and the Lists are equal, regardless of order //then the Edges are equal return elem.equals(other.getElem()) && temp.retainAll(other.pointers); } public String toString(){return this.elem.toString();} }
As we can see, the Edge<E> class for a Graph is significantly more involved than a Linked Node for a standard Linked List.
The next component of a Graph we need to discuss is the Connector class. Basically, a Connector (as the name implies) connects two Edges together. In applications of Graphs, like game programming, distances are important from a Connector standpoint for purposes like travel distance. However, from a more theoretical standpoint, distances or "weights" are generally included with the Edge. To keep this Graph adaptable for theoretical and practical applications, I included an E elem in the Edge class, and a distance in the Connector class. So now, let's take a look at the Connector class:
public class Connector<E> implements Comparable<Connector<E>>{ private Edge<E> one, two; private int distance; /*this two-args constructor creates a Connector object to Connect two Nodes together with a standard distance of 0 By using this constructor, it is assumed That distance is either weighted through the Edges or otherwise is irrelevant */ public Connector(Edge<E> one, Edge<E> two){ this(one, two, 0); } public Connector(Edge<E> one, Edge<E> two, int distance){ this.one = one; this.two = two; this.distance = distance; } //accessors and mutators public Edge<E> getOne(){return one;} public Edge<E> getTwo(){return two;} public int getDistance(){return distance;} public void setDistance(int distance){this.distance = distance;} //Two connectors are equal if the two Edges //are equal and the distance is equal public boolean equals(Connector<E> other){ return one.equals(other.getOne()) && two.equals(other.getTwo()) && distance == other.getDistance(); } public String toString(){ return "(" + one.getElem() + ", " + two.getElem() + "): " + distance; } public int compareTo(Connector<E> other){ return this.distance - other.distance; } }
So unlike Edge which has a lot going on inside of it, the Connector class is significantly simpler, as its only function is to link two Edges together.
The last class we have to design is our Graph class. If we look back at our Edge and Connector classes, we see that they really do all the work of holding the physical Graph together. We just need a class to encapsulate this web. So:
public class Graph<E>{ //Because we will need random access to the Edges //We will use an ArrayList to hold them private ArrayList<Edge<E>> edges; public Graph(){ edges = new ArrayList<Edge<E>>(); } //add Edge to the List public boolean addEdge(Edge<E> vertex){ if(edges.contains(vertex)) return false; edges.add(vertex); return true; } public boolean contains(Edge<E> vertex){ return edges.contains(vertex); } public Edge<E> get(int index){ return edges.get(index); } //returns number of Edges in Graph public int count(){return edges.size();} public boolean equals(Graph<E> other){ if(other.edges.size() != edges.size()) return false; //store all of Edges of larger Graph ArrayList<Edge<E>> temp = new ArrayList<Edge<E>>(other.edges); //if temp changed, then the Graphs are not equal return temp.retainAll(edges); } }

Another injury
"We're upbeat. Something weird is going on here. We're not having the storybook season we wanted to have."
That quote came from Ryan Howard in this morning's Wilmington News-Journal story by Martin Frank.
Yes, the storybook season is blurry. Another loss last night and another injury (Jamie). Cole and Doc are the only starters that have been healthy all year. They have pitched well but have suffered from the lack of run support.
A team that lived by the home run is now suffering by the long ball. The enemy has 13 homers in six games since the second half resumed. Only Arizona has now allowed more homers in the NL.
J. A. Happ started last night for Lehigh Valley and threw three scoreless innings, 44 pitches, 34 for strikes. He threw fast balls, a change ups and cutters. "Crisp three innings" said pitching coach Rod Nichols. We sure can use a 2009 Happ back in the rotation.
This Date
On this date in 1973, Hank Aaron hit his 700th home run in Atlanta's Fulton County Stadium. It came off Phillies lefty, the late Ken Brett.

1951 Oldsmobile Custom - Young Man's Olds
Jared Roethlisberger finally gets to drive his '51 custom
Like most people who've seen Jared Roethlisberger's '51 Olds in person, STREET RODDER's first look at the car was at the 2011 Grand National Roadster Show where the custom made its debut.
Jared grew up in a family of automotive enthusiasts, watching his uncle work on cars as a mechanic and listening to his mom's stories about her Corvette and '69 Cougar XR7, and his dad's stories of racing on various Southern California dragstrips. His own taste leans toward customs. He started working on his first car, a '41 Plymouth sedan, when he was still in high school.
After selling the Plymouth, Jared was eager to start something new. The guy who had replaced the glass in the Plymouth knew all the area cars, and provided a few leads, then mentioned his own '51 Olds. "The car was covered with a plastic tarp that had glass dust all over it," Jared remembers. There was no interior or windows, the chopped top was only finished half way and there was no engine or transmission. It took me a while to see the possibilities, but within a couple of days I knew I wanted it."
The Olds went to Highway 99 Hot Rods in Visalia, California, for the build. "It was obviously someone's abandoned project," Don Dillard, owner of Highway 99, says. "The drivetrain was missing, there was no interior, and everything that was there was apart and thrown in the inside of the car. The body modifications had been started, but not finished and what was done, was done poorly. But there was no evidence of any collision or rust damage. It was a very solid car before someone started hacking on it.
"At first, Jared told me he wanted it bagged. I said it needed a whole lot more than bags and proceeded to rattle off a list of things that would be included in a groundup build." The front suspension was replaced with a GM G-body ('78-87 Monte Carlo, Cutlass, Gran Prix) front clip—and substituted the front spindles, rotors, and calipers for those from the same year Cadillac, giving up 12-inch disc brakes. The airbags are a RideTech kit for G-bodies. Highway 99 eliminated the original semi-elliptic leafs in the rear but kept the stock axle, and added a custom triangulated four-link and custom brackets for the RideTech airbags. Once all the frame mods were completed the entire chassis was blasted and powdercoated.
Jared supplied the rebuilt Chevy 350, running an aluminum dual-plane intake with a 650-cfm Edelbrock carb, a Technostalgia Caddy-style air cleaner, finned aluminum valve covers, coated blockhugger headers, and Bill's Hot Rod Company brackets. A GM HEI ignition provides spark. TRC in Visalia rebuilt a TH350 transmission for the car. Rather than use the factory G-body mounting location, the engine and trans were mounted lower in the chassis to allow the custom driveshaft, built by McAllister's in Visalia, to line up with the X-member in the center of the frame.
The bodywork was the most time-consuming portion of the build, due to the sad condition of the car. The top chop was unfinished, but it was straight and didn't need re-cutting. Filler work was redone on the top, the windows, doors, and garnish moldings were refinished. All of the trim had been removed from the car and most of the holes welded up. The hood and front fenders were modified with a curved lip where they meet the upper grille bar. The '57 Corvette grille came from Night Prowler's Customs; front turn signals were mounted behind the teeth. Both bumpers were reshaped and then sent to Meclec in Fresno for fresh chrome. The doorjambs were reshaped to accommodate solenoid-activated bear claw latches, and the roof was rounded at the upper corners of the windshield. The '54 Ford headlight was partly installed; Dillard finished welding them and filled the holes below the headlights. The stock taillights were replaced with '54 Merc lenses. See page 58 for tech details on the taillight installation.
Although Jared envisioned the Olds with satin paint, Dillard convinced him that the amount of bodywork that he was doing on the car deserved a shiny finish. Jared's choice of blue is a Laidlaw Trucking fleet color. "Rotten" Rodney Bauman did the filler work, aligning the panels, and shot and buffed the paint.
The Olds rolls on P205/75R15 Diamondback radials from the Whitewall Candy Store in Orange, California. The 15x7 Wheel Vintiques steelies wear '54 Olds wheel covers.
The interior is appointed with mid-'60s GM bucket seats in front and mid-'60s Cadillac seats in the back, upholstered by David Galindo at House of Trim in Paramount, California. The stock dash and instruments were kept and the original clock pod was reworked to house the gauge for the front airbags. Airbag switches were located in the original air vent lever locations. Instead of a stereo head unit, the Olds features iPod jacks in the center console, plus a Kenwood amp, Clarion equalizer/crossover, and front and rear Pioneer speakers.
Three years is not an unusually long build time for a custom like this, but the desire to drive the finished car requires some patience. "The first time I saw it put all back together, I wanted to slap some primer on it and drive it," Jared says, "but I knew that there was a long way left to go."
His patience paid off when he was able to enter his '51 Olds in the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona last January. It can be an intimidating feeling to see your own car on public display amid hundreds of the country's best, and an exhilarating feeling to realize it belongs there.

The Federal Aviation Administration announces that personal electronic devices will be permitted on commercial flights pending approval of individual policies submitted by airlines.
Travelers using Delta Airlines will soon be able to use their tablets, e-readers and smartphones during takeoff and landing. Delta was the first airline to jump on the opportunity to reform personal electronic device (PED) policies following an announcement by the Federal Aviation Administration on Oct. 31.
Airlines must submit plans for PED use to the FAA, before the devices can be used during entire flights. Delta reported that its plan already has been submitted, and it expects approval within just hours or days.
Laptop use still will not be allowed during takeoff and landing -- not for any wireless signal they may transmit -- but for the safety hazard their physical size creates, the FAA stated. Other smaller devices, however, such as e-readers, tablets and smartphones will be allowed during all phases of flight once the devices are placed in "airplane mode."
The FAA says the change in policy will likely make its way across the industry by the end of the year, as individual airlines demonstrate to the agency that their fleets can operate safely under the new policy.
Previously FAA regulations required that electronic devices be completely turned off during takeoff and landing, the FAA's explanation being that sufficient research had not been conducted to determine whether using the devices was safe. Pilots, however, regularly use PEDs during takeoff and landing. But the FAA explained that all pilot devices go through a "rigorous" six-month testing period to ensure the devices are safe for use.
Likewise, the FAA said, consumer PEDs have now been deemed safe for use on flights based on a group analysis conducted by airlines, aviation manufacturers, passenger groups, pilots associations, flight attendants, and mobile technology advocates and manufacturers.
These changes come one month after an FAA panel recommended a loosening of PED regulations.

Human Rights Activists Defends "Witchcraft" Children: Speaks - July 15th
After almost 4 years of trying, we finally get the chance to host the heroic human rights and child advocate Leo Igwe. Leo will be speaking on July 15th. The program will offer us the chance to hear harrowing challenges and on-going success stories. We'll also have the opportunity to understand our own part in "what's next?".
Leo Igwe's work covers key areas of interest to us all. He's been doing social justice work for almost 15 years. He'll speak on the link between human rights, civil liberties, health, education and development. The link between skeptical reason, practical activism and social justice is an ongoing project you're invited to join in. He's in NYC for only one day. Let's turn out to welcome him.
Details & RSVP - CFI-NYC. FaceBook, Atheist Nexus
The problems of child abuse, neglect, trafficking and suffering are well known. What is less well known is one of the causes is superstition, irrational tradition and a lack of science-based health care and education. This cripples communities and costs lives.
Now there is action that changes lives; rescuing these children from abandonment, stigmatization, mind-numbing abuse, and even murder. They are children (and adults, mostly women, often widows) who've been accused of witchcraft and demon possession. They suffer a loss of human rights, human dignity and hope.
Secular Humanist, skeptic and child advocate Leo Igwe is changing things. He has survived slander, harassment by politicians and police, multiple assaults, imprisonment, home invasions and hospitalizing attacks on his family members. His property has been stolen. His father was blinded, losing an eye. He lives under ongoing threats. Yet he continues to risk all and tell the truth for those who's stories would otherwise have no rational witness.

Ayanna Watson of Black Atheists of America has sparked a project focusing on the diversity of careers within the secular community. The project includes photographic portraits and some personal testimony about work experience, passion and aspiration.
Ayanna will introduce some of the project's participants. There will be the chance to ask questions and share stories, including your own.
Seon M. Lewis, The Spice Island Atheist and one of the voices of Caribbean Atheists, is a consistent Harlem Community member many of us know from his sharp observations, broad knowledge and warm easygoing style. He recently completed the book "From Mythology to Reality: Moving Beyond Rastafari". His liberating intellectual journey from theism, through mystical Afrocentrism, to reasoned non-theism is one of following the evidence to where it leads.
Seon will share how he came to write his book, which challenges pseudo-history and false assumptions about a vital resistance culture. It also looks at how an inspiring rebel community can fall pray to sexism, racism, homophobia and xenophobia. The way he respectfully engages family and community in a conversation about mythology and fiction vs. reality and facts is an informative one. How to be Afrocentric without drowning in the dogma of Afrocentrism, or any "...ism" including our own, is part of what he'll share.
Sponsored by - Center for Inquiry - New York City, Black Atheists of America, African Americans for Humanism, CFI-Harlem & Harlem Humanists.

The Obama Re-Election Campaign, and the Left

The Ryan Nomination, The Obama Re Election Campaign, and the Left
When the Communist Party and other leftists decided it was a priority to elect President Roosevelt in 1936, they didn't slow down their labor organizing and civil rights agitation - they escalated it. ...
Obama supporters who want progressives to take precious energies away from grass roots movements to re-elect the president are, whether intentionally or not, sabotaging long term possibilities of democratic change. And they are NOT following the example of radicals from the Depression Era who built the industrial labor movement. ...
