It may never be the last picture show for Jeff Bridges.
The Academy Award-winner has an enduring fondness for several of the characters he's played over the course of his long career. He's already revisited the role of Kevin Flynn he originated in 1982's "Tron" (as well as his digital doppelganger Clu) for the soon-to-bow sequel "Tron: Legacy," and Bridges tells PopcornBiz he wants to reprise the role that first made Hollywood take notice of him: Duane Jackson from "The Last Picture Show."
"It's a lot of fun to do this, and doing it with "Tron" was a wonderful experience," says Bridges. "And I go to do that with another movie, "The Last Picture Show" – 20 years later we did "Texasville," and now I was just in Texas with Peter Bogdanovich and we're looking at doing the next installment of the Texas series. There're actually five books that Larry McMurtry wrote about those characters and so we've done two and we want do the next thing. I don't know if that's ever happened before, you know? Every 20 years going back and doing that. So that's something that I'm hoping will come about."
U.S. & World
Bridges rose to fame as part of the cast of then-largely-unknowns (including Cybill Shepherd, Timothy Bottoms, Cloris Leachman, Ellen Burstyn and Eileen Brennan) in Bogdanovich's 1971 film adaptation of McMurtry's 1966 novel about small-town Texans, which was followed up on screen 19 years later in 1990 with "Texasville," from McMurtry's 1987 book sequel. In the intervening years, McMurtry's penned three more installments in the series: 1999's Duane's Depressed, 2007's When the Light Goes Out, and 2009's conclusion Rhino Ranch.
And while he may be secure for work well into his 80s if the Texas series keeps coming back, we had to ask about the one Bridges character we'd most love to see him torch up again: Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski. And yeah, if the Coen brothers are willing, Bridges says he's able.
"Oh yeah – are you kidding me?" he laughs. "I don't think they will, but it's kind of set up like that with the, 'I happen to know there's a little Dude in the oven' or whatever he says – I can't remember the line. But you know it's set up for that!"

block specific Lan IP from internet
I would like to block a specific IP address (10.200.200.109) on my Lan from inbound and outbound traffic to the internet. All my Lan computers still need to be able to access that computer and vice versa since it's my NAS. Here is my current pf.conf:

You have a blend of rules with the "quick" option, and rules without it. Because of this complication, I recommend adding new "quick" rules relatively early in your rule set, perhaps before any other quick rules, as your redirects are less specific than this example below.
Keep in mind that you can get tangled up with "in" "out" and "on" when trying to match traffic, or ... trying NOT to match traffic. And as well, the blend of quick and standard rules can sometimes be difficult to manage.
block quick on $wan from any to 10.200.200.109 block quick on $wan from 10.200.200.109 to any
Thanks jggimi. I had to put the rules you provided before my match out rules otherwise it wouldn't work. Internet is restricted but LAN traffic works as intended.

I do seem to recall a collective groan rising from the crowd at the Comic Con Q&A on Friday upon hearing the news that this wave is exclusive to WalMart. Target would have been a much better venue for these, but it seems as though Hasbro wants to throw WalMart a bone. It seems that staying in WalMart's good graces is a big concern for any company that wants shelf space in their stores. Unfortunately though, it seems that Star Wars shelf space has been diminishing at Wally World. Ugghhh.

I learned though that writing blogs is an art in organization and learning the tools used to make them. I reviewed blogging software before and said that I really liked Drivel. This week though may have changed all that. I decided to crash test Vimpress and test how she does. Now, I can say I'm really impressed. I am very possibly going to keep using it.
Vimpress is a plugin for Vim that allows editing and added posts to WordPress blogs. Vimpress also will list the posts written to easily go back and edit them. Blogging is as simple as BlogList, BlogNew, BlogOpen and BlogSend. Installation is easy enough, just put the blog and syntax file in their respective folders:
tar zxvf vimpress.tar.gz -C ~/.vim
~/.vim/plugin/blog.vim to point to WordPress php-file. Mine for example is
https://linuxtidbits.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php. And Vimpress will be ready. For more look at Vimpress's homepage.
After I set it up, Typing in Vim and publishing in Vimpress does so without a hitch. Very nice. A couple things to keep in mind to help ease the transition…
Html markup will have to be learned. Only the basic tags need to be learned though (a href, img, pre…) not too bad. Also I find that the closetag plugin is a good idea. The closetag plugin maps ctrl-_ to close the tag. A few lines will need to be added to the
~/.vimrc for it to be active:
" Automatic tag closing for html and xml (closetag plugin) autocmd Filetype html,xhtml,xml,xsl source ~/.vim/scripts/closetag.vim let g:closetag_html_style=1 source ~/.vim/scripts/closetag.vim
Vimpress comes with a syntax file that highlights the BlogList and header, if html syntaxing is desired its easy enough to set:
:setfiletype html
I was hoping to find a way to nest html in the syntax file but haven't just yet found out how.
Anyways, I've really liking using Vim and Vimpress so far. As I've said previously the learning scale is a bit more but well worth it. I need to learn some more about cutting and pasting in Vim (to and from the Xserver) to really be effective but I'm getting there.

Solar energy is not the exotic, experimental power source it may have been 30 years ago. It is now providing energy in a big way around the globe. Here are some facts about solar we should all know, including information on projects and developments now occurring.
1. The amount of solar energy that falls on the earth's surface in 40 minutes equals the total annual energy consumption of all the world's people. Put differently, 27 years' worth of worldwide energy consumption equals only one day's worth of solar energy hitting the earth.
2. All the energy in the earth's reserves of coal, oil, and natural gas equal just 20 days of energy produced by the sun, but only 1% of that solar energy is used to generate power.
3. One year's worth of solar energy on one acre of land in West Texas equals the energy of 800 barrels of oil. Texas has more solar energy potential than any other U.S. state.
4. Nine solar plants built in the 1980s in the Mojave Desert near Barstow, California, have a combined generating capacity of 354 megawatts (MW), making them the largest operating solar installation in the world. They produce enough electricity for the needs of about one-half million people. The complex is called Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS). SEGS is a hybrid system that uses natural gas as backup on cloudy days or at night, with natural gas providing 25% of the system's total output.
5. The Nevada Solar One plant in Boulder City, Nevada, has a 64-MW generating capacity and uses molten salts to store extra heat which can then be drawn and used at night. Nevada Solar One cost $220-250 million. Its power costs slightly more than wind power but less than photovoltaic power.
6. A solar plant at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada was completed in 2007 and uses an advanced sun-tracking system to generate 14 MW of energy and supply about 25% of the base's power. The plant is the largest solar photovoltaic system in North America.
7. The BrightSource Energy company is planning the construction of a 400 MW solar concentrating plant in the Mojave Desert to be called the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System. The plant will be built in 3 stages, each able to generate power independently when completed. BrightSource plans to construct a total of 14 solar plants that will collectively produce over 2.6 gigawatts (GW) of energy – enough to power 1.8 million homes.
8. Pacific Gas and Electric will use a company called Solel to build the world's largest solar facility in the Mojave Desert. Mojave Solar Park will generate 533 MW of energy when completed in 2011, enough to power 400,000 homes.
9. NextLight Renewable Power has proposed a 230 MW photovoltaic solar station in the Antelope Valley of California that will supply enough energy for 70,000 homes. If begun in 2010 as planned, the plant will be completed in 2013. In June 2009 Pacific Gas and Electric announced an agreement to buy power from the project for 25 years at no more than 13.3 cents a kWh.
10. A Phoenix, Arizona, company, Stirling Energy Systems, has signed two large power-purchase agreements using Stirling engines for up to 1,750 MW of energy to be built with its sister company, Tessera Solar. Both projects are slated to begin construction as early as 2010. CPS Energy has contracted with Tessera to build a small, 27-MW solar plant with a Stirling engine in West Texas.
11. Abengoa Solar is building one of the world's largest solar plants in the desert southeast of Phoenix, Arizona. It will generate 289 MW of energy, enough to power 70,000 homes, by 2011. The plant will have thermal storage backup. In Spain two 50 MW solar plants with six-hour backup are planned or under construction. A third Spanish plant, the 15 MW Solar Tres facility, will have 15-hour thermal storage.
12. The federal Bureau of Land Management announced in July 2009 that it had identified initial solar project areas for utility-scale solar energy totaling 100,000 MW. These projects will be fast-tracked to make the energy available to consumers as soon as possible. These solar plants will have a natural-gas-backup so as to produce power 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The total estimated generating cost will be about 7 or 8 cents per kWh.
13. California boasts almost 50,000 solar-panel installations today. A decade ago there were only 500 California rooftops with solar panels. These distributed solar installations combine with central solar to give California more than 500 MW of energy at peak times. California's solar capacity grew by 1/3 from 2007 to 2008.
14. "Nationally, residential installations account for about a third of the energy supplied to the power grid by photovoltaic arrays on panels; the remainder come from installations on larger facilities, like government buildings, retail stores and military installations," says a 7-15-09 New York Times article.
15. Ten states, according to the same article, "led by Colorado, and including Hawaii, Connecticut, Oregon, Arizona, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, more than doubled their rooftop solar capacity in 2008."
16. New Jersey's largest utility, PSE & G, has begun installing solar panels on 200,000 utility poles to produce 40 MW of energy to its customers. A New Jersey company, Petra Solar, Inc., will produce the panels and plans to add 100 employees, tripling its workforce, to do so. Each panel is designed to be installed and connected to the grid in under 30 minutes. New Jersey is second in U.S. solar capacity after California. Colorado is third. Texas is not in the top ten.
17. NRG, CPS Energy's proposed partner for nuclear expansion, is part of a group that has committed to building a 92 MW solar plant in New Mexico, about 10 miles from El Paso, Texas. El Paso Electric has announced an agreement to buy power from the plant.
18. A Florida-based company, Solar Energy Initiatives, has procured land in West Texas to build one of the country's largest solar parks to generate 300 MW of energy for Texas, with construction scheduled to begin by 2011. The park is expected to generate as much as $750 million in revenue within the next six years, according to a Texas Energy Report article by John Moritz.
19. According to technology writer Chris Turner, "Arizona-based First Solar … has developed a [solar] panel for a production cost of an astounding $1.14 per watt, less than half the cost of its nearest rival….And by the end of 2009, the company plans to manufacture its revolutionary panels at gigawatt scale."
20. Corpus Christi, Texas, is among 3 cities being considered by GlobalWatt, Inc., a San Jose, California, firm, to be the hub of a major solar industry center with a green business park and solar panel manufacturing. The city was chosen as a finalist because of its high level of community support and strategic location.
21. "Thin-film solar systems," according to writer James M. Higgins, "are cheaper to manufacture than flat-panel systems, require fewer scarce materials, are much easier to install, and require less physical vertical space per installation since they are flat. Thin-film solar materials can deliver virtually the same efficiencies as most flat-panel systems but at about 20% of the cost." One company, Nanosolar, has achieved a 14% conversion efficiency rate in its now-marketed products.
22. Dye solar cell technology using titanium dioxide (an abundant, electricity-conducting material used in toothpaste and paint), accepts light from all directions and in all light conditions. Dyesol, one of a growing number of firms experimenting with this technology, is approaching market readiness with a recently signed contract with Corus, a mega-corporation once known as British Steel. The government of Wales has also invested in the project. The Dyesol product is set to be on the open market by 2011.
23. "Solar is a $13 billion industry today. It will hit $40 billion by 2012, unless it continues to exceed forecasts, as it has over the past five years," according to writer Chris Turner. This is happening, though globally, the renewable-energy industry gets only about $11 billion in subsidies a year, compared to over $200 billion for fossil fuels.

When the snow falls, you want to be ready. And fit! Nothing will kill the fun quicker than an early season injury, so we asked pro skier Greg Hill for his best advice. "It's definitely time to start getting ready," he says. Below, he outlines the exercises you need to be doing to be in good shape for the snow.
Obviously keeping up on our cardio is very important, biking, running, treadmill whatever we have time for. But it's important to do at least three sessions of 20 minutes each week. This is to just keep our cardio at par, but to improve it we need to push ourselves a little harder. That means three longer runs or bike rides of an hour but then 10% of that should be in the pushing hard phase – pushing so hard you can't speak! Put another way: 90% of our exercise should be in the 'able to talk' phase and then 10% in the 'unable to talk' phase.
Run or walk downhill. Hiking down from alpine hikes, or running downhill is a great way to shock your muscles and get them ready for the endless downhill descents. This imitates the impact of hard turns and the repetition of the sport.
Too busy? Go for a 'wall sit' and start extending the times you can sit against a wall. Get your legs at 90º, with your back against the wall and hold it there. This replicates the constant quad stress and strength you will need to crush the big runs. It's an isometric strength training. Nothing moves or flexes – it just holds. Try two minutes and build up. (NOTE: Greg has quads of steel. We tried this and failed so don't feel bad starting at 1 minute and pushing from there.)
It's the classic ski training exercise but that's because it works on developing power. There are many different games to play but the main thing is exploding up as high as possible and then landing and absorbing the shock smoothly. Reps of 20 and three or four sets to start off.
All around strength is also a big factor – core strength being key to balance and good skiing. So if you can, an all around weight routine will help immensely.
Lastly, get excited for the ski season! Watch ski videos, dream up adventures, fuel your desire as much as possible. It's the mind that will drive your body so get it excited!

Weather Blog: Enjoy the sun...
Hello and thanks for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 blog.
I hope you are having a great weekend -- in this entry we'll update some snow stats and look ahead to our next round of forecast fun early this week.
First off, if you have a little cabin fever -- this weekend will serve up a nice remedy in the way of sunshine.
The high temperature only hit 28 in Milwaukee on Saturday, but my thermometer at my house (which faces south) read 40 degrees at 1 pm, which tells you, in the sun it feels really nice!
Here's the Sunday forecast around the state:
All of a sudden we have more snow than we know what to do with.
I will admit --abouth two weeks ago I was having a conversation with Mark Baden on my doubts about getting to our 36-48" winter snowfall forecast we issued in November.
Well last week's whopper of storm put that concern at ease. Here's where we are at for snow...
It is March and under 3 weeks away from the vernal equinox. The sun angle is increasing every day (meaning sun rays are more direct and stronger), and we are adding 2-3 minutes of daylight every day.
Spring is in the air as birds are trying to navigate the snow piles, but I do think we are in for some more snow before it all melts away.
More snow could arrive as early as Monday night or Tuesday a the next snow-maker develops.
Now right now southeast Wisconsin looks to just get swiped by this storm with the heaviest falling just to the west and south of us.
The track is far from set in stone so this storm needs to be monitored.
This will be the forecast focus early this week, followed by a March thaw -- do I dare say low/mid 40s???
Looks to be the case by Thursday and into next weekend.
Have a great weekend.

Well, that didn't take long.
Megan Fox has decided to quit Twitter after using the social media service for less than a week. The 26-year-old actress made the announcement on her Facebook page Thursday.
Photos: Everybody's posing nude! Check out Rihanna and other stars who've bared all
"Some of you may, or may not have noticed by now that my Twitter account has been shut down," wrote Fox, who amassed more than 250,000 followers after joining Jan. 3. "I thought that 2013 might be the year that I finally blossomed into a social networking butterfly... but as it turns out I still hate it. Love you guys but I will just never be that girl. Facebook is as much as I can handle."
Her final post on Twitter reads, "5 days on Twitter and I have yet to discern it's purpose. #WhatIsThePoint???"

Earth's atmosphere is a chaotic system. In such systems arbitrarily small changes the conditions can give rise to very large effects.
There are many rumors about the physical and large scale environmental impacts that global warming will cause in the future. (for example, here)
After a remark made by one of the users here, I thought to ask this question:
Can a small change in Earth's temperature (that can't be felt) give rise to large-scale climate changes?

I am new here, but I have a quick question about Eclipse and SWT. I use Eclipse Indigo with SWT on my Windows PC at work. I am trying to also use that same workspace on my MAC at home (also with Indigo and SWT). However, it looks like the SWT libraries are not transferring to my MAC when I try to open them. I have tried archiving the projects, moving the whole workspace, etc., but I still get the errors.
My question is...is there a way to include the actual libraries in my project and not just their location, since obviously my MAC will have a different address for those libraries than my Win PC? Or is there something simple I am missing? I spent several hours this week looking for a solution, but haven't found anything that works. That is why I joined this forum, because maybe someone else had the same issue and found a solution.
Thanks for any help.

Columbia Hoopsters Return to Reign at Home
COLUMBIA -- Marcus Whitt, and Aqua Corpening. "She was on the girl's team, I was on the basketball team."The two faces of Hickman basketball in 2011. "You know, I was all-state and all-district in high school." Each left home to keep on playing.
Marcus Whitt shared, "At Tennessee State, I just wanted to go to school. So it was somewhere that I could have had a chance to walk on." Aqua Corpening told us, "I got up at Truman, you know, and had fun with the team." But each suddenly found something was missing. "It wasn't family and it wasn't home." "hat's the one thing I was missing down in Tennessee was the chance to play, so..."
The lights began to dim on a career. "... And not doing it down there, it was just hurting, so." So this might have been a prank by a teammate, but the reality still stung. "I never thought I was going to play basketball again, to be honest with you."
Whitt and Corpening never quite fit in at Tennessee State and Truman State. So each came back home, once again playing at the same program, here at Columbia College.
Columbia College's men's head coach, Bob Burchard, said, "They kind of recruited us, you know, to come back and give him an opportunity." Women's coach Mike Davis explained, "er dad gave us a call and said she was looking to leave, and I thought it was a great fit for us. She was definitely someone we would have loved to have had to begin with."
Once settled in at home, each's past success began to carry over. "She's had some great moments, in her last ball-game, really instrumental. I think she had five three-pointers." The two are aiming to take a second program by storm. "It'd be great to be an all-american here at Columbia College, you know, and for Marcus, the same."
...even if they couldn't have planned it that way.

Spring Fashion
With warmer temps and the snow melting away, we shrug off our layers of coat, scarf, gloves. I have been able to wear just my light jacket. Consequently, I pulled out our spring/summer clothes and sorted through them to freshen up and discard the ones that are faded, worn or sun damaged. Now it's time to go shopping. I think Maxine expresses my thoughts exactly......

Last night I picked Hubby up at the airport. Oh it was SO great to see him again. It was a tough trip for him to make but for him, knowing his Mom was well taken care of gave him peace. It gave him some closure. Of course there is the ongoing grief of losing his Mom. We all grieve differently and that's the case for my Hubby and I. His strengths of organization and sorting thru problems and solving them means that dealing with all that has to be done when a loved one passes away, to get all of this finished and to finally take her ashes and put his Mom to rest gave his own heart rest!
This morning when George sat relaxing with his coffee, Mitzi hopped on his lap to tell him how much she missed him while he was away. Sweet :)

Time to Say Goodbye
This morning came very early...4:30am to be exact! I could barely crack an eyelid but had to take Hubby to the airport to catch his flight to Southern B.C. Today he was going to have to wrap up stuff at his Mom's Care Home and pick up her personal things and then go to the Funeral Home to pick up Mom's ashes. Tomorrow he says his final Goodbye.

Spring Snow
I just poured myself a steaming cup of tea and have the lights on low, creating a warm ambiance...unlike the scene that's happening outside! The Calendar says April...quotes, poems and Authors write about this month using words like, "showers, gardening, planting, blooms". In this northern town, so far this month none of those words apply!
Yesterday afternoon the wind kicked up and snow started falling, driving the snow horizontal. Brrr! Road conditions were slippery and visibility was almost nil. This carried on through the night and this morning but this afternoon the sun came out for a brilliant ending to the day.
Spring???....not so much!!

August 28, 1923 to April 1, 2013
We have moved into the month of April. April 1st coincided with Easter Monday this year and the end to the long weekend. As we were hanging out enjoying a quiet evening Hubby's cell rang. His Mom had passed away. She had really been declining the last year....going from a mentally clear, intelligent woman into full dementia at the end. The last time Hubby saw her, she did not recognize him and became very agitated when he hung around her and was his charming self. She was a wonderful woman and drew me into her heart completely. Hubby was her only child so having a daughter and our three boys added to the family made her so happy! She survived World War 11, finally fleeing the Russian and Nazi invasion, leaving her parents and home in Hungary. It was a terrifying time for her. She landed up in a Refugee camp in France and then climbed aboard a ship to the only country left with open borders, Venezuela. She already spoke Hungarian and German and quickly learned Spanish and English to survive in her new Country. She got a job at Shell Oil and that's where she met her Husband. Not wanting to get married in a Catholic church, they went to Panama City to get married in a Protestant Church. After 10 years my Hubby finally joined the family and sadly they could have no other children. Hubby spent his first 12 years in Venezuela before Immigrating to Canada.
Canada was good to Mom and she was well looked after in her retirement years, having the foresight to secure an Apartment in a Senior's Manor and later spending her last years in a Retirement Center after the death of her husband. She lived to be 89 1/2 years old....not a bad life :)
Rest in Peace mom and we look forward to seeing you again with all our other loved ones!

text: Pianist John Lewis, vibraphonist Milt Jackson, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Kenny Clarke first came together as the rhythm section of the 1946 Dizzy Gillespie & His Orchestra and they had occasional features that gave the overworked brass players a well-deserved rest. They next came together in 1951, recording as the Milt Jackson Quartet. In 1952, with Percy Heath taking Brown's place, the Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ) became a permanent group. Other than Connie Kay succeeding Clarke in 1955, the band's personnel was set. In the early days Jackson and Lewis both were equally responsible for the group's musical direction but the pianist eventually took over as musical director. The MJQ has long displayed John Lewis' musical vision, making jazz seem respectable by occasionally interacting with classical ensembles and playing concerts at prestigious venues, but always leaving plenty of space for bluesy and swinging improvising. Their repertoire, in addition to including veteran bop and swing pieces, introduced such originals as Lewis' "Django" and Jackson's "Bags' Groove." The group recorded for Prestige (1952-55), Atlantic (1956-74), Verve (1957), United Artists (1959) and Apple (1967-69) and, in addition to the many quartet outings, they welcomed such guests as Jimmy Giuffre, Sonny Rollins, the Beaux Arts String Quartet, a symphony orchestra conducted by Gunther Schuller, singer Diahann Carroll (on one piece), Laurindo Almeida, a big band and the Swingle Singers. Although the musicians all had opportunities to pursue individual projects, in 1974 Milt Jackson, tired of the constant touring and the limitations set on his improvising and he quit the group, causing the MJQ to have a final tour and break up. In 1981 Jackson relented and the Modern Jazz Quartet (which has recorded further albums for Pablo and Atlantic) became active again although on a more part-time basis. Connie Kay's health began to fade in the early '90s (Mickey Roker often filled in for him) and after his death in 2001, Albert "Tootie" Heath became his replacement. ~ Scott Yanow

| My life has been transformed by my practice of meditation and by the Buddhist theory behind it. When the Buddha had his great Awakening, he was at first reluctant to teach because what he discovered was so subtle and difficult for the conventional mind to grasp that he had doubts as to whether it was teachable. Yet there are skills which can be learned, and which the Buddha taught, that will lead the mind to a whole series of awakenings and release from the stress & pain that appears to the ordinary person as part & parcel of the human condition.
These skills have to do with paying attention and opening to experience. It is a matter of STOPPING and SEEING what is going on in the mind/body process--right here, right now. True happiness--happiness which is not dependent on things outside--comes from seeing clearly the nature of things, or, to put it another way, the nature of mind.
The mind/body process usually yields something we call "I" and something we call "God". We believe in "self" and "other", "me and the world"-- and we wonder how to get back to God or the Source, how to be at peace in the world. But peace and belonging, bliss and unity with God are already here! They are the very core of our being and can be realized now, through the skills we call mindfulness & equanimity (attention, plus acceptance & openness). Buddhism is non-theistic, but adding the concept of God does not change the Buddha's great discovery: As Kabir, the great Indian (Muslim) poet, said of God, " When you really look for me, you will see me instantly--you will find me in the tiniest house of time." And Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God is within you."
Awakening (enlightenment) is to merge with God, but Buddhists don't name that ineffable something for which the concept of God is a metaphor. The Buddhist Way makes sense to me, so that is my approach to God. And the Buddhist Way is to look deeply into the experience that is actually going on--here-and-now--to see the truth here. The Truth shall set you free. This my religion.
So, what can I put on my altar, in my religion? Somehow, I want to build an altar to the present moment and worship there. This website is my presentation of a kind of altar to the present moment. The contents of these pages are my offering to the sacred, to the Source. It is my wish that what you find here may somehow help you to develop the skills that will lead to an Awakening.

Authorities have identified the body of a toddler whose disappearance in the Joplin tornado drew an outpouring of concern when it was posted on Facebook.
His mother, Carol Jo Tate, told The Associated Press Wednesday that the body of 16-month-old Skyular Logsdon was identified at the morgue handling tornado victims.
More than 10,000 people supported a "Bring Skyular Logsdon home" page set up after the boy vanished in Sunday's tornado.
Tate, 18, remains hospitalized with severe injuries at Via Christi Hospital in Pittsburg, Kan.

XEUS overview
XEUS will be a permanent space-borne X-ray observatory, 200 times more sensitive than XMM-Newton, studying black holes, galaxy groups, clusters and the interstellar medium.
For more in-depth scientific and technical details of our Space Science Programme and missions, follow this link.
The X-ray Evolving Universe Spectroscopy (XEUS) mission is the potential follow-on to ESA's highly successful XMM-Newton mission.
XEUS will be an enormous free-flying X-ray observatory, consisting of two spacecraft (one carrying the mirror, the other carrying the detectors) in formation, flying 50 metres apart. It is designed to search for the first giant black holes that formed in the Universe, over 10 000 million years ago.
What's special?
The main target for XEUS is a background glow of X-rays that seems to fill the entire sky. Spectroscopy is at the heart of XEUS and a key capability is to be able to distinguish in this glow the different spectral components from distant active galaxies.
Beyond our own Galaxy, the millions upon millions of stars that we call the Milky Way, astronomers see a wide Universe lit by millions of such galaxies. As telescopes peer deeper into space they look farther back in time. Light from the most distant galaxies takes about 10 000 million years to reach us, and we see them in their infancy. Look beyond them and you return to a 'Dark Age' without stars, when the young Universe was about to form stars and galaxies. Many of the background X-rays may come from that period, so XEUS will contribute big discoveries about the very hot, young Universe.
Visible starlight is very cool by comparison with the millions of degrees needed to generate X-rays. Microwave and infrared rays, studied by other space telescopes, come from even cooler sources. Yet most of the observable matter in the Universe today is in a hot state, radiating short-wavelength ultraviolet rays and X-rays. Massive clouds of gas at a very high temperature fill the spaces between clustered galaxies.
How did the Universe get so hot? The only adequate source of energy is gravity, dragging material together in against the general expansion of the Universe. Whenever a new star is created in our Milky Way, a collapsing cloud of gas achieves core temperatures sufficient to ignite the nuclear reactions that power the star. The real problem is to stop the collapsing gas from becoming so hot that it blows itself apart before it can make a star. Nature overcomes this snag by radiating energy from molecules and dust in the gas cloud.
Conditions in the primeval Universe were quite different from those in the Milky Way today. With only a few molecules and no dust available for cooling, so the theory goes, only the most massive clouds could collapse. They would in turn make massive stars which would live only short lives before exploding, leaving behind black holes with the mass of a few suns. These black holes would devour nearby material and grow, becoming million solar mass giants. X-rays produced in the vicinity of many such giant black holes could explain the cosmic X-ray background.
Due to XEUS's large telescope area, and high-efficiency cryogenic instruments with wide energy ranges, XEUS will have a much improved capability over the Reflection Grating Spectrometer on XMM for spectroscopic studies. If lines can be resolved in spectra from compact objects like neutron stars, then both the mass and radius of these objects can be determined. This would provide a powerful tool for the study of matter under some of the most extreme conditions imaginable.
In order to study these distant black holes, XEUS needs to be much more sensitive than XMM-Newton. In fact, XEUS requires a breakthrough in X-ray optics technology, even compared to the world-beating mirror technology used by ESA's XMM-Newton.
Here, X-rays are focused by glancing them off the inside faces of bucket-shaped mirrors through which they pass. But these are no ordinary buckets.
Each of XMM-Newton's three telescopes has many mirrors accurately nested inside one another. Every mirror is carefully shaped to give it the correct mathematical form, part parabolic and part hyperbolic. Polished gold of extraordinary smoothness coats the reflecting surfaces.
Fortunately, for the astronomers who want to use XEUS, it appears that the breakthrough required has happened! It is called 'high-precision micro-pore optics', and instead of the nickel buckets used by XMM-Newton, it uses much finer silicon tubes to focus the X-rays. These allow much lighter and stronger optics which at the same time give sharper vision, down to about one-thousandth of a degree, to avoid confusion between distant objects lying close together in the sky.
As well as the telescopes, the detectors used to capture the X-rays are very important. The proposed XEUS sensor configuration has an Advanced Pixel Sensor at the centre of a larger, more conventional, Charge Coupled Device (CCD) array with a hard X-ray detector mounted beneath the CCDs. Additionally, four more detectors (called high-count rate Silicon drift diodes) would be positioned around the outer edge of the conventional CCDs. All these instruments could be operated in parallel.
Alternatively, one of two small field-of-view cryogenic detectors could be placed in the focal plane for high spectral resolution studies. This combination of new-generation detectors will perfectly complement the capabilities of the breakthrough optics!
Together with an effective mirror area of 10 m2 these will allow fundamental predictions of General Relativity to be tested – such as the existence of black hole event horizons. The XEUS capabilities in the classical X-ray energy range (0.1-10 keV) will also be extended to higher energies (up to 80 keV) by using graded multi-layer coatings on the XEUS optics. This technology, together with the long focal length and the latest generation of hard X-ray detectors, offers outstanding high-energy spatial resolution and sensitivity.
The predicted final sensitivity is approximately 1000 times better than currently achieved below 80 keV by the instruments on ESA's Integral gamma-ray observatory. Of course, at higher energies, Integral still provides an unsurpassed capability (up to 10 MeV).
With initially 200 times better sensitivity than XMM-Newton and its vastly improved spectroscopic and timing capabilities, XEUS will be the next logical step in studies of the evolving Universe.
XEUS will be placed into orbit at the second Earth-Sun Langrangian point L2.
XEUS came into being after a meeting held by eminent X-Ray astronomers in Leicester, United Kingdom, in 1996, which produced a report called 'Next Generation of X-Ray Observatories'. The meeting was called to provide ideas for future X-ray missions after the year 2010 and to develop them into a mission, expanding on the goals of the successful XMM-Newton mission.
Originally, the XEUS concept was going to use obtain a mirror area of 30 m2 sufficient to sensitively probe the environment of the massive black holes. Such a large mirror area would need a long focal length of around 50 metres, which makes a single spacecraft impractical. Thus, XEUS would consist of separate mirror and detector spacecraft flying in formation and separated by the focal length.
If the conventional technology of nickel X-ray optics were to be used, as in XMM-Newton, such a large mirror area could best be achieved by rendezvous and docking of the mirror spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS), where the massive mirror segments would be added by the robotic assembly arm after being delivered to the ISS by the Space Shuttle.
Significant work was carried out in industry to confirm the feasibility of this concept. There were disadvantages of this approach, such as the complexity and cost of multiple launches and the qualification of the mirror spacecraft to visit the ISS. However, following the Columbia tragedy, it became clear that the number of further Space Shuttle flights to the ISS were limited, and unlikely to be able to transport the mirror extension.
The XEUS Science Advisory Group then approved a revised mission concept which asked for the maximum effective telescope area achievable without visiting the ISS. The greatest challenge to such a concept was the development of lightweight optics to provide a mirror area of 10 m2 that with a single launch can be sent, together with the detector spacecraft, to the second Earth-Sun Lagrangian point (L2).
Also in the original concept, the lifetime of the detector spacecraft was limited by fuel usage since it had to track the mirror spacecraft at 50 metres away, and so was always in a non-Keplerian orbit. At L2, this is no longer a major issue, resulting in the possibility of a much longer lifetime, as well as higher operational efficiency.
The many new and challenging technologies that are needed for XEUS are being jointly studied by ESA and the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS, now part of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA). It is hoped that other partners may join the partnership building the first truly global X-ray observatory.

Unlikely heroes save Test for Australia
SHAUN Marsh and Peter Handscomb last night engineered one of the great saves in Australian Test history to push an all-time epic series to a thrilling decider.
The third Test in Ranchi will go down as a draw, but for an Australian team on the ropes, this felt like the sweetest of victories.
Two down at the start of the day and four down at lunch, the warrior-like 124 run partnership between Marsh and Handscomb which soaked up 232 minutes and 374 balls may well be looked back upon as the stand that created history for Australia in India.
When Marsh finally succumbed for 53 off 197 balls Australia only had 10 overs left to hold on, with Handscomb seeing the fight of his life right out to the end, finishing unbeaten on 72 off 200 balls.
In total Australia survived 100 arduous overs on a surface where a wicket at any point could have sparked a match-ending collapse.
Now one of the most dramatic, venomous and see sawing series since the 2005 Ashes has been given the spine-tingling finale it deserves, with warring arch-enemies Australia and India locked 1-1 heading into the fourth and final Test starting on Saturday at the foot of the Himalayas in Dharamsala.
India were yesterday charging head-on towards a triumphant win on day five when captain Steve Smith had his off-stump catapulted out of the ground by a rampant Ravi Ashwin half an hour before lunch to leave Australia reeling at 4-63.
The image of Australia's most reliable and inspirational figure staring down at his flattened castle having not even offered a shot was enough to send any dressing room into a state of panic, particularly given Matt Renshaw had just departed the over before.
But from a point where recent Australian teams would have plummeted off the precipice, unlikely heroes Marsh and Handscomb picked up the pieces and rescued their side with courageous, backs-to-the-wall performances.
The No.1 bowler in world cricket Jadeja was breathing fire but somehow, Marsh and Handscomb extinguished his domineering presence and struck a killer blow to India's bullet-proof attitude.
Australia finished 6-204, but by the end even if they were bowled out India wouldn't have had time to chase the 52-run lead Handscomb and Marsh had wrestled back.
Marsh is arguably the most maligned Australian cricketer of the past decade, and not always unfairly so given he has a first-class record that hasn't reflected his talent.
But yesterday on a dusty, dying track in Ranchi with his team at crisis point, Marsh delivered a knock for the ages that ranks above his three Test hundreds when it comes to what it means to his team.
This is why coach Lehmann was so adamant Marsh must be rushed back with a silver bullet as the sub-continental specialist for this tour.
Not since 2011 against Sri Lanka, when Michael Clarke and Phillip Hughes combined, has an Australian team batted out a final day to save a Test.
Before that, such a gutsy rescue hadn't happened on the sub-continent for an Australian side since before Handscomb was born, way back in 1989.
But after staring down the barrel of defeat, Marsh and Handscomb have breathed new life into Australia's extraordinary shot at breaking a 13-year drought on Indian soil.
Labelled by Harbhajan Singh as the worst Australian team to ever tour India, this fighting XI only need a draw in Dharamsala to retain the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
However, Smith and Lehmann are marshalling a fearless side that will go all out for victory.
There were some anxious moments for Marsh and Handscomb along the way before their partnership finally ended with Australia already virtually in the clear 38 runs ahead and time almost out.
Handscomb was dropped by short leg Murali Vijay on 6, a sharp grab which could have proved decisive.
Marsh was almost stumped the third ball after tea off Ravi Ashwin, while he and Handscomb both survived DRS appeals on umpire's call that replays showed were both hitting plenty of the stumps.
Australian coach Lehmann acknowledged the previous night that his top order had squandered any chance of winning the game by failing to go big enough in their first innings after winning the toss - with 550 instead of 450 what was required.
However, all things considered, this was a morale-boosting draw.
When the fall of one wicket could have easily led to a collapse, Australia was hanging on by the skin of their teeth after Smith was rolled by Jadeja.
Coming just three balls after partner Renshaw had been trapped lbw by Ishant Sharma, Australia's most reliable operator had failed to offer a shot to send shockwaves through an already rattled dressing room.
Smith shouldered arms to a Jadeja ball that pitched just outside leg stump, but didn't thrust his pad forward with enough conviction to bump the ball away.
That said, it was a gem of a delivery.
It's the third off-stump Jadeja had knocked over in this innings, as Australia clambered to lunch at 4-83.
Smith and Renshaw started superbly on day five when Australia resumed precariously placed at 2-23.
An hour and a half into the session and Australia were yet to show a weakness, until pace demon Sharma found a way to get inside the head of Renshaw.

There's a saying about "glass houses" that seems appropriate.
Damon Lindelof, the co-creator of the TV drama "Lost" which went from pop culture sensation to punchline thanks to a series finale that angered long-time fans, has been pretty open about slamming other people's work via Twitter.
First, he got into a war of words with "Game of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin, after Martin claimed he didn't want his popular series of novels to flame out the way "Lost" had.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Now, Lindelof has had some less than kind words for January Jones' performance in the new movie "X-Men: Last Stand."
"Emma Frost's THREE mutant powers: Telepathy, Transformation to Solid Diamond and last but not least, Sucking at Acting," he wrote. This came after another tweet saying how much he enjoyed the film and the work of stars Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy.
If the "Lost" creator sounds like an angry X-fan, it's because he knows from direct experience. Lindelof once started writing a limited series for Marvel Comics starring the X-character Wolverine. After two issues of the planned six-issue series, delays saw the subsequent issues pushed back so many times that it became something of an angry joke among fans. The 2006 series was finally concluded in 2009.

Napa Cabbage Stir-fry
www.food network.com
- 6 tablespoons peanut oil
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled and grated
- 1/2 small head napa cabbage, core removed and finely sliced
- Salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 cups cooked long-grain white rice
- 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed in warm water
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 bunch scallions, sliced, for garnish
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts, for garnish
Heat 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil in a wok or a large nonstick skillet over medium-high flame. Give the oil a minute to heat up, then add the shallots, the ginger, and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cabbage and stir-fry until the cabbage is wilted and soft, about 8 minutes; season with a nice pinch of salt. Remove the vegetables to a side platter and wipe out the wok with dry paper towel.
Put the pan back on the heat and coat with 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the garlic and to the wok and saute gently until fragrant. Add shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until pink. Set aside on platter with vegetables. Add remaining oil to the wok and when hot, crack the eggs into the center. Scramble the egg lightly, then let it set without stirring so it stays in big pieces. Fold in the rice and toss with the egg until well combined, breaking up the rice clumps with the back of a spatula. Return the sauteed vegetables and shrimp to the pan along with the peas and season with salt and soy sauce. Toss everything together to heat through. Spoon the fried rice out onto a serving platter, and garnish with scallions and peanuts.

"The Big Lebowski" isn't just a cult classic, it's also a watershed moment in the career of Jeff Bridges. He began filming during a career dry spell, but this 1998 movie was a rebirth, as his portrayal of Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski would stand the test of time.
Now, more than a decade later, he's a major star, with a best actor Oscar for "Crazy Heart, "another nomination for "True Grit," and a new album. But to many fans, he'll always be "The Dude."
Bridges and some of his co-stars will reunite Aug. 15-16 at the New York edition of Lebowski Fest, clebrating the release of the Blu-Ray version of the film. Here's what's become of the rest of the "Big Lebowski" core.Slideshow: Unforgettable images from 'The Big Lebowski' (on this page)

John Goodman (Walter Sobchak)
Goodman made the audiences forget all about his role as iconic "Roseanne" dad Dan Conner with his portrayal of The Dude's buddy and bowling teammate, who won't roll on Shabbos. Most of his memorable roles since have been in voice-overs or TV, though he did get to play Pops in the movie version of "Speed Racer."
Julianne Moore (Maude Lebowski)
You'd have to say Moore's done very well for herself over the past decade. "The End of the Affair," "Far From Heaven" and "The Hours" earned her Oscar nominations, and "The Kids Are All Right" was one of the hits of 2010. But she was a lot more fun back in this era, when she went from "Boogie Nights" to using The Dude for procreation purposes.
Steve Buscemi (Donny Kerabatsos)
When is Buscemi not memorable? He's continued to steal scenes wherever he's cast, and now leads a criminal syndicate in HBO's "Boardwalk Empire." The former firefighter also endeared himself to fans by working 12-hour shifts with his old NYC firehouse after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Tara Reid (Bunny Lebowski)
Her career peaked with "American Pie" in 1999, but it's been a quick fall from those heights. She's now is in the direct-to-video category. But she'll always have those "Taradise" memories.
David Huddleston (The Big Lebowski)
This wasn't Huddleston's first time in a cult classic — he played Olson Johnson in the Mel Brooks classic "Blazing Saddles." Since this film, he's mostly been the special guest star in TV shows, including stints as the mayor on "Gilmore Girls" and a senator on "West Wing."
Philip Seymour Hoffman (Brandt)
Hoffman beat Bridges to the best actor Oscar when he won one for "Capote." He's had much better luck in Hollywood than he did trying to settle the dispute between the two Lebowskis.
John Turturro (Jesus Quintana)
Turturro made the most out of his small part here, but his comedies since haven't been up to the "Lebowski" standards. Let's just say that the Adam Sandler vehicles "Mr. Deeds" and "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" didn't prove as memorable as his role as intense bowler "The Jesus."
