May 28, 2016
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy says a potential marketing contract for Brett Favre could offer both the star quarterback and the team a solution to their standoff over Favre's retirement.
Just months after quitting, Favre has been considering a comeback. But Green Bay hasn't been eager to have him back as its starter and doesn't want him to release him, either.
The marketing deal would reportedly be $20 million over 10 years. It would keep Favre from causing a ruckus by reporting to Packers training camp and might end his bid to come back. Favre confirmed he was considering the deal to ESPN Thursday.
McCarthy says "Brett needs to stay a part of football" and that "obviously, he's a part of the Green Bay Packers."

Hey commuters, if you're like me (clumsy, doesn't learn from experience) you have half a dozen blinkie lights with broken plastic covers from when they came unclipped and fell off the bike.
I've tried many different ways of gluing the plastic covers back together, with Superglue and epoxy, but none of them worked. The joint would always break apart again quickly. Well, I think I've finally found the right glue for the job: Amazing Goop. It's a thick, gooey adhesive (unlike Superglue), and it forms a slightly cushiony bond which seems to hold broken plastic blinkie lights together very well. Here's how I do it:
* take the broken pieces of the blinkie cover and clean the broken edges with rubbing alcohol
* apply a layer of Amazing Goop to ONE of the broken edges, and LET IT DRY for about 3 minutes
* fit the broken edges together perfectly, and squeeze them for about 1 minute
* let it dry for about 12 hours: DO NOT FIDDLE WITH IT AFTER 1 OR 2 HOURS, THE JOINT WILL COME APART!
* once it's totally dry, the excess Goop can be rubbed off the joint... it will crumble like rubber cement
Okay, well I hope that helps someone else resurrect their supply of broken blinkies
PS- A good sized tube of Amazing Goop is about $3 at Home Depot, and I've used maybe 1/10 of the tube while fixing 4 or 5 lights.

Oklahoma football: Cultivating future customers
Interesting Thursday on the OU campus. The Sooners opened spring practice to students, then I had dinner at an OU College of Engineering event at Headington Hall, the new dorm that houses 180 athletes.
The turnout at the practice was disappointing. Maybe 200 students. I actually thought the turnout would be light, maybe 300 or so. It's hard to engage students these days. Hard to get students to the football games, hard to get them to stay for the duration. Which is why OU was in the business of reaching out to students Thursday.
It was a good event for students. Free hot dog and drink, drawings for gear, drawings for special status at the spring game on Saturday, when some students will be honorary coaches, even trotting plays out to the offensive players. That's excellent public relations.
It was a good practice, the 45 minutes or so open to the students and media. Mostly scrimmaging. Some chatter via microphone from Bob Stoops and a couple of players.
Afterward, all the students were invited onto the field to mingle with the players, who first posed as a group for a photo with all the students, then posed for individual photos. Some students kicked field goals — I swear, one guy with his bare feet was nailing 40-yarders — and threw passes into the target net.
All in all, very good PR. Will it carry over to more student passion on autumn Saturdays? Doubt it, but it was worth a shot, at least.
The empty seats at OU games in recent years are mostly found in the student section, where tickets are sold but often unused. I've told athletic Joe Castiglione to cut down on the student allotment, but he's loathe to do that. It would cause a ruckus. It's completely justified, but as OSU athletic director Mike Holder is fond of saying, these are the universities' future customers. You've got to cultivate students into fans so that they'll be fans for the next half century.
I certainly saw an example of fan passion later that night. I attended the OU engineering dinner Thursday night in Headington Hall, which I had never toured. The featured speaker was Kelly Damphousse, OU's dean of the College of Arts & Sciences. Damphousse and his wife are faculty-in-residence at Headington Hall — they live in the dorm. He had some great stories about interacting with the 380 students in the dorm (200 non-athletes, 180 athletes) and then offered a tour for anyone who wanted one.
So after dinner, about 50 people went traipsing around the bottom floor of the dorm. We saw the cafeteria, which was interesting, and the rec room, with the Sooner Schooner engraved onto the side pockets of the pool tables, and the movie room, which seats about 60, and the Damphousse living quarters. And the entire group ran into one of the residents as he was about to enter the ground-floor elevator. Fellow by the name of Trevor Knight.
Some women actually got giddy as they posed for photos with Knight, who could not have been more hospitable and personable. Really good ambassador for the university. Knight even was introduced to and had a nice chat with OU professor Randall Kolar, whose son, John, is a Norman North quarterback committed to OSU. Knight talked about Cowboy receiver Austin Hays, his "best friend" and former high school teammate in San Antonio.
Interesting day and interesting night.

This weekend I am once again taking one of the twice yearly workshops that Vincent Desierdio gives at PAFA. this time around I am one of the monitors, which is good and bad, bad in that I get less time painting, but good in that I get more time with Vince.
Vince is a great dynamic guy and artist and once again we started out with charcoal drawings that we sealed with amber shellac. Once we did that Vince gave his demo, showing how to mix optical grays and he then spent time going around to each student's work as they progressed.
During the lunch break I brought up one of the laptops with a projector and we all watched The Mona Lisa Curse by art critic Robert Hughes. Vince really wanted us young painters to see this film and it lead to an very impassioned discussion by Vince. It was a great but very sobering view on the current art market, something my DPC buddies have been discussing of late as well.
Here Vince gave his demo using one of the student's prepped drawings.
Alina waiting for her drawing to dry after applying the shellac.
Here is my drawing freshly shellacked, I drew on a sheet of rives BKF taped to a piece of heavy foam core.
I just started in on my painting when the timer went off for the last pose. Tomorrow is the second day of the workshop and i hope to really get in there and get to painting and I'll post a final follow-up on the workshop.

GREENVILLE, N.C. - The East Carolina women's basketball team dropped just its second home game of the season, losing a tough 66-65 decision to Houston in the regular season finale for both teams. The Lady Pirates end regular season play with an overall record of 17-12 while finishing 8-8 in league play. The Cougars improved to 19-9 overall and 11-5 in C-USA action.
The 17 regular season wins mark the most in the seven-year tenure of Head Coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener while the 12-2 home record is also the new standard under her watch. The squad also fell just shy of matching the most home wins in school history.
ECU jumped out to a quick 6-2 lead, thanks to LaCoya Terry, who netted all six points to begin the contest. Houston would respond, tying the game on a fastbreak layup by Brittney Scott. Then, with 11:41 remaining in the half, the Cougars took their first lead when Porsche Landry nailed a mid-range jumper, making the score 16-15. Houston would push its lead out to five, going on a 6-2 run that gave the visitors a 22-17 advantage at the 8:58 mark. However, layups and free throws helped the Lady Pirates regain the lead at 24-23 with 6:38 remaining in the period.
With the score knotted at 25, East Carolina would score five-straight points in 1:18 to earn its largest lead of the contest at 30-25. But in the last five minutes of the stanza, the Cougars out-scored the Lady Pirates 8-4 to pull within one at the break.
Terry led the charge offensively for ECU in the first half, netting 11 points while Jasmine Young and Ashley Clarke added six. Additionally, a trio of Lady Pirates in Terry, Crystal Wilson and Tiahana Bowens pulled down four rebounds in the period. Scott was the star for Houston, dropping in 18 points while Landry added eight.
The Cougars held the advantage from the field in the period, converting 45 percent of their shots while East Carolina made 40 percent. However, the Lady Pirates out-dueled Houston on the glass, enjoying a 24-14 margin.
The teams stayed close in the first half, and when ECU took a three-point lead at the 16:04 mark, Courtney Taylor drilled a three for the Cougars, knotting the score at 44. The Lady Pirates then edged ahead, 54-50, when Clarke found Terry all alone for a fastbreak layup with 9:17 remaining, but Houston answered again, this time on a Scott trey to cut the lead to 54-53.
ECU stretched its lead to five, 60-55, at the 5:30 mark, but as they had all game, the Cougars responded, using an 8-2 run to take their first lead since the first half. A three-point play by Scott put Houston in front, 66-64, with 1:41 left in the game, but Young hit a free throw to pull the Lady Pirates within one at the 1:06 mark. After Terry missed a jumper with 16 seconds left, Brittany Mason was fouled and sent to the line with seven ticks remaining for a one-and-one opportunity. She would miss the shot and Wilson grabbed the defensive rebound. However, Wilson drove down the left side and attempted a pass to Terry that was picked off by Jasmine Johnson, sealing the game for the Cougars.
Terry and Young both netted 17 points in their final appearance at Minges Coliseum while Terry added five rebounds. Crystal Wilson proved the top rebounder for ECU, grabbing eight on the afternoon. Scott dropped 27 points for Houston while Taylor added 18 and pulled down 11 boards for a double-double. The Cougars shot 40 percent in the contest while holding the Lady Pirates to 39.6 efficiency, the first time in 12 contests that East Carolina failed to fire at a 40 percent-plus clip. As for the glass, the squads ended up even at 38.
The Lady Pirates now prepare for the 2009 Conference USA Women's Basketball Championship, slated for March 5-8 inside Fogelman Arena at Tulane University. ECU's seed, opponent and game time will be announced by the conference office tomorrow.
For the past 13 years, C-USA has awarded the championship trophy to eight different outstanding teams, including East Carolina in 2007. Fans may purchase their tickets in advance by calling the East Carolina ticket office at 252.328.4500 or online at ecupirates.com. General admission All Session tickets are $50 for adults and $40 for youth, while Single Session prices are $10 for adults and $7 for youth.

"Unlike past calls to service, President-elect Obama is asking Americans to do more than offer a single day of service to their communities, but to make an ongoing commitment." -- New Jersey Governor Jon S. Corzine (pictured)
New Jersey Governor Jon S. Corzine and Secretary of State Nina Mitchell Wells have joined President-elect Barack Obama in calling for renewed focus on the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday as a national day of service. The federal King Holiday and Service Act, signed in 1994, challenges Americans to transform the MLK holiday into a day of citizen action volunteer service in honor of Dr. King.
President-elect Obama and his family plan to take part in service activities on the day before the inauguration, and are urging participation in widespread volunteer initiatives across the country, such as serving meals to the homeless, cleaning schools and neighborhoods, or helping disadvantaged youth and the elderly.
"Unlike past calls to service, President-elect Obama is asking Americans to do more than offer a single day of service to their communities, but to make an ongoing commitment," said Gov. Corzine. "As a tribute to Dr. King's legacy, I urge New Jerseyans to take part by becoming a volunteer with one of the state's many worthy, charitable organizations."
The Governor's Office of Volunteerism and AmeriCorps, in the Department of State, are committed to increasing awareness of the need for volunteers statewide and simplifying the process of finding the most appropriate opportunity using a new, interactive volunteerism Web site. The site is designed to serve as the state's one-stop resource for individuals and organizations, facilitating communication and coordination efforts statewide.

Researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found that, across a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, cerebrovascular disease affecting circulation of blood in the brain was significantly associated with dementia. The researchers contend that people already exhibiting clinical features of Alzheimer's disease and other memory impairments may benefit from effective therapies currently available to reduce vascular problems. Thus, early management of vascular risk factors, such as high blood pressure and cholesterol, and adopting a 'heart healthy' diet as well as exercise and other lifestyles in midlife may delay or prevent the onset of dementia due to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
The link between cerebrovascular disease was strongest with Alzheimer's disease – as compared to other neurodegenerative diseases including frontotemporal lobar degeneration, Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS and Parkinson's disease – and had the most pronounced effect in younger Alzheimer's patients, according to the study, published in the July 10 issue of Brain.
"While there was evidence already to suggest that vascular disease could play a role in neurodegenerative disease, this is the first study to compare the burden of vascular disease across neurodegenerative diseases with multiple, distinct or different origins," said senior author John Q. Trojanowski, MD, PhD, director of the National Institute on Aging-funded Alzheimer's Disease Core Center at the University of Pennsylvania and professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. "We were surprised to find such a strong link to vascular disease in Alzheimer's disease, especially in younger patients, in comparison to individuals with other neurodegenerative diseases."
Penn researchers analyzed 5715 cases from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) database, which have been collected from 35 past and present NIA-funded Alzheimer's centers across the US since NACC was started in 1999. This is the first study to compare the presence of cerebrovascular disease across the whole spectrum of neurogenerative diseases.
Nearly 80 percent of the more than 4600 Alzheimer's disease patients showed some degree of vascular pathology – defined as hardened or blocked blood vessels, tissue death due to lack of blood supply, or bleeding – in the brain, as compared to 67 percent in the control group of people with no remarkable brain disease pathology, and 66 percent in the Parkinson's pathology group.

"The Candidate" (1972)
Forget the Sundance Kid and Bob Woodward, Robert Redford's turn as would-be Senator Bill McKay is possibly his greatest role. It's certainly his least narcissistic and most spiritually ugly turn - as the son of a popular former governor, McKay is gradually unraveled and exposed to be as cosmetic as his dashing side-burns; a fate only compounded by winning the damn election. Whatever timid political convictions the character is depicted as possessing are steamrolled in favor of refashioning the man into a photogenic tabula rasa, a bespoke 'man of the people' grown like Ellen Ripley in a lab (a potential voter simply remarks, "Handsome is as handsome does") who's able to coast on a roster of meaningless platitudes right into public office. Not so much worn down by the political machine as ground by it into a fine patty, "The Candidate" is ostensibly a comedy from the man who would go on to direct "Fletch," with Michael Ritchie's handheld deadpan style sly, impressive and vaguely horrifying, especially with Peter Boyle hovering over McKay as a scruple-free campaign manager. The indignities depicted in the film (gross self-censorship, vile manipulation of advertisements that encourage voters to choose a candidate "the way they choose a detergent") are of course laughably meek by the standards of the dubious chicanery that abounds in political campaigns today, but McKay's ticket, run on the promise of restoring "hope and faith in government," has obvious timeless implications beyond its early 1970s setting. Its famous last line (the clueless inquiry: "What do we do now?") is a touch didactic and McKay's descent perhaps now an overly familiar one, but when his father eventually slaps his tousle-haired sprog on the shoulder and chuckles, "Son, you're a politician!" the remark rattles through the rest of the film like a death sentence.

"The Contender" (2000)
Laine Hanson is about to become Vice President, but the headhunters are out in full force. It's knives out for any female candidate, argues writer-director Rod Lurie, who then sets up a Chinese finger trap of a plot device, revealing Hanson's possible participation in a collegiate orgy that sends the media into a tizzy. Through it all, Joan Allen's Hanson perseveres, refusing to kowtow to her tormentors, which include an appropriately slimy congressman played by Gary Oldman, and pursues the office despite facing opposition from one side, and Puritanical unease from the other. "The Contender" has a talented cast (Jeff Bridges is a delight as a carefree Commander In Chief), but a film that tackles material this loaded shouldn't cower in its final act to naked principle over truth, obscuring the issue with a last minute reveal that sours the entire film and degrades the experience to one fascinated by politics, but utterly oblivious to sexual matters. When it comes time to make a statement, the most forceful stand this meek film takes is Sam Elliot memorably growling, "The one thing the American people won't stand… is a Vice President with a mouthful of COCK." [C]
"Dave" (1993)
As a now-charmingly naïve take on politics, Ivan Reitman's "Dave" is both watchable and utterly, hopelessly dumb. Kevin Kline stars as the hardline conservative President Bill Mitchell, who lapses into a coma only to be replaced by lookalike insurance agent Dave Kovic. To swallow "Dave," you have to accept that this was the Clinton Era, where our Commander In Chief had serious Dude Appeal, a status that obscured the politics at play. As such, Kovic is much looser, funnier and, surprise, quite liberal, eschewing his predecessor's stance and proving to be more pro-union and anti-big business. The Capra-fueled optimism mostly has its heart in the right place, and Kline is charming in a dual role, but the film laughably turns the job of President into an opportunity to showcase late-night policy sessions, with Charles Grodin acting as the entire cabinet, and moments where Kovic slashes massive public relations budgets with a smile and a wink. Its glib, what-if politics, cement the Gary Ross-penned script as from another era, or more accurately, highly outdated. [C+]
"The Distinguished Gentlemen" (1992)
Oh, Eddie Murphy of the 80s and 90s. We miss you. While "The Distinguished Gentleman" isn't a great film by any stretch, it is a great example of the energy and creativity that Murphy once had. Not only does he give a terrific comedic performance, but Murphy actually flexes some decent dramatic chops that are rarely seen from him.
The film focuses on a Florida con man, Thomas Jefferson Johnson (Murphy), who uses the death of an incumbent candidate with a similar name to snag a seat in Congress. (The way in which he pulls it off and the depiction of voting trends is actually quite brilliant.) Why would he want to be a Congressman? Like one of his crew says: "That's where the money is." He and his band of criminals descend on Washington and quickly realize that they are way out of their league when it comes to pulling cons. Johnson gets swept up in the action, led by Dick Dodge (Lane Smith), until he realizes that, wait, he has a conscience after all. It's when he tries to do the right thing and protect his citizens that he sees how absurd the political process actually is. As a loose re-telling of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," the movie doesn't exactly compare, full of flaws as it is. But it does manage to at least marginally represent the shady dealings that certainly take place in Washington and, if nothing else, it's really damn funny. [B-]

and Estilo models a year to Indonesia. In fact, Maruti also supplies Ertiga CKD kits to Mazda, which re-badges it and sells it as the Mazda VX-1 in the Indonesian market.
With Maruti's domestic production capacity expected to touch about 2 million units a year by 2016 and parent Suzuki giving the company a mandate to focus on emerging markets like Africa and south-east Asia, the company has become much more aggressive about exports to growing markets like Indonesia. What works in Maruti's favour is that import duties in Indonesia for cars imported from India is expected to fall to 5% by 2020 from 20% today under a bilateral trade agreement that looks to progressively lower tariff barriers. Incidentally, Suzuki is also investing a 60 billion Yen on a car plant in Indonesia that will later locally manufacture cars like the WagonR.
Puneet Gupta, principal analyst at IHS Automotive India said while a focus on exports to south-east Asia is necessary for most domestic carmakers, for Maruti it is even more important given the huge production capacities it has today. It is a very significant move, and Indonesia is a market with similar demographics and vehicle penetration levels like India, so products that work here, will likely work there as well. I believe the small car they launch next year will be exported to these markets from India as well, he said.

Areas of Practice: Dentists
Just about the most uncomfortable things is having to select a dentist. Let's be realistic nobody really likes dental work, but there are several ways to make it more tolerable. When confronted with choosing a dentist, there are many possibilities. Over the following paragraphs we will consider how to choose the right dentist.
Experience is the first thing you want to look for in a dentist. There are lots of fly by night dental people, and other dentists who're just out of school. While you will find some good young dentists, it is significantly better to locate a dentist who has at least 5 years of competent experience. If you're getting major dental work done like a crown, you definitely would like someone with experience.
It is also recommended that you get referrals from your relatives and buddies. Usually when people find a very good dentist or other service professional, they are going to become repeat customers. You may also research would-be dentists to get a good grasp of their practice. This is useful particularly if you cannot get any referrals. It is worth looking into if you find one who has a lot of good reviews.
If you see a dentist promoting surprisingly low prices, you ought to be wary. Dentistry is like most other things in that, you get what you pay for. In these type of practices you aren't going to get plenty of one on one attention. Also, avoid dentists who use routine sedation. Most adults do not need this and there's no need to subject yourself to this treatment when it is unnecessary.
It is always a smart idea to call the dental offices and read more about their service. If you ask a lot of questions and follow the tips above, you should have few problems when it comes time to choose a dentist in zip code 21157.

Carrie's Story
I delivered my daughter at Banner Thunderbird and I saw a lot of nurses and other hospital personnel.
No one stuck out as much as a night nurse by the name of Joleen.
She came on shift right after I was taken to recovery. Joleen helped me learn to care for myself as well as my baby. This was of the utmost importance as this was my first labor experience and was a bit tricky.
I had several other nurses, all were pleasant, but Joleen really went above and beyond. I was quite amazed at how much she was willing to help.
She treated me with compassion and concern and enabled me to have a much more successful recovery than I probably would have. Not to mention, she had a personal touch and I felt she genuinely cared...a rare thing to find in a monotonous hospital setting.
She also made the discharge process an easy one.
I came in a terrified and battered new mother and left feeling happy and much more confident. Joleen was fabulous!

Medical breakthrough earns TAMS student $10,000 math, science and technology scholarship
DENTON (UNT), Texas -- A student at the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science at the University of North Texas has won a $10,000 scholarship for his work on developing a biocompatible material that can be used in protein drug delivery.
Peter Hu, 18, of Denton, placed sixth at the National Siemens Competition in Math, Science and Technology on Monday in New York.
The Siemens Competition is the nation's leading original research competition in math, science and technology for high school students.
For his bioengineering research, Hu used polymer nanoparticles to create a protein drug carrier that can maintain a sustained drug release while preventing the protein from degrading inside the human body. This has long been a challenge for scientists.
Therapeutic proteins are critical to treating many diseases. For example, cancer can be treated with interferons, diabetes with insulin and hemophilia with blood clotting factors. So with Hu's development, a diabetes patient could significantly reduce the number of insulin injections needed.
"Bioengineering interests me because it has the potential to solve so many of the world's problems," Hu said. "I've had family members who have battled cancer and diabetes, which was my primary motivation in researching this topic."
Hu's work was supervised by Dr. Liping Tang, a bioengineering professor at the University of Texas at Arlington.
Before coming to TAMS, Hu attended Denton High School. Both of Hu's parents are physicists, which he said spurred his interest in science at a young age. Hu's father, Zhibing Hu, is a physics professor at UNT.
"My parents were great influences in my love of science, and I was very involved in school science fairs," Hu said. The first project he remembers was an experiment to determine the speed of sound. He was 9.
As vice president of the Junior Engineering Technical Society at TAMS, Hu is organizing a science demonstration team to promote interest in math and science among elementary and middle school students. In his spare time, he plays the piano and violin, as well as basketball and tennis.
In addition to Hu, TAMS had three other regional finalists and 14 semifinalists honored in the Siemens competition. The competition field began with 1,348 students nationwide.
TAMS is a two-year residential program at UNT that allows exceptionally talented students to complete their freshman and sophomore years of college while receiving the equivalent of high school diplomas. Students enroll in the academy following their sophomore year in high school, live in a UNT residence hall and attend UNT classes with college students. After two years, they enroll at UNT or another university to finish their bachelor's degrees.
Last year, TAMS student Wen Chyan won the top prize at Siemens for his work engineering new polymer coatings for biomedical devices that could prevent common, and sometimes deadly, bacterial infections resulting from hospital stays.

The RSPH and IHM Initial Response to the Francis Report
6 February 2013
Following the publication of the Francis report today, the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) and the Institute of Healthcare Management (IHM) offers the following response.
The failing in care at Mid Staffordshire NHS foundation must act as a stimulus to ensure that the experience of the Stafford families is not repeated anywhere else in the NHS.
The IHM believe Quality of Care must be at the centre of managerial decision making. However, as NHS managers are accountable to Parliament for providing services within a budget, skilful NHS management must ensure that both of these requirements are taken into consideration. While finance should never become the overriding consideration, it must not be ignored.
Poor care is simply not acceptable. It is not universal in today's NHS. Many thousands of NHS staff are highly focused and care deeply about the service their patients receive.
Professor Richard Parish, Chief Executive of RSPH and the IHM said "Professional bodies should take the lead in changing the culture of the NHS. This must be a shared responsibility between clinical leadership and general management. The Institute will want to play a leading role in finding the right solutions."
Some parts of the NHS are under considerable pressure which can compromise quality standards. This is unacceptable.
"NHS Managers have been working with their clinical colleagues for many years in the search for means of delivering better health care. Stafford gives this search a new and important impetus and we must all be diligent to ensure that the report results in actual changes to the healthcare system" Professor Brian Edwards, former IHM President.
The Institute of Healthcare Management will review the conduct of any of its members who are criticised by the Francis Inquiry.

I know not what prompted me 2 years ago, on reading the booklists of the History of Science Society, to pick this paperback reprint of a book I had never heard of. It was probably the echo of the lines in Alexander Pope's Essay on Man which my father had taught me to love (Epistle 2).
Vast chain of being: which from God began Nature's ethereal, human, angel, man, Beast, bird fish, insect, what no eye can see, No glass can reach; from infinite to thee, From nature's chain whatever link you strike, Tenth or ten thousandth, break the chain alike.
And in the third Epistle of the Essay Pope pursued the idea:
Look round our world, behold the chain of love Combining all below and all above, See matter next, with various life endured, Press to one centre still, the general good, See dying vegetables life sustain, See life

"It's a living, breathing thing," says director Amy Berg of Sundance doc "West of Memphis," backed by producer-financeers Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh. The film, which Sony Pictures Classics opens in NY and LA on December 25, revisits the 18-year imprisonment of the innocent "West Memphis 3": Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr. The documentary presents new witnesses and forensic evidence that exonerates the three men and points to others as responsible for the murder of Stevie Branch, Chris Byers and Michael Moore. It reveals a gross miscarriage of justice by the Arkansas justice system.
Over the past few months a number of free screenings of "West of Memphis" in Arkansas and Tennessee have helped to focus attention on the film and the ongoing investigation. There is a confidential tip line and a $200,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for the murders: 501.556.1775. The filmmakers are still trying to get the film in front of former Arkansas governor and president Bill Clinton, says Amy Berg, who sat down with me after a Sneak Previews screening (Q & A is below).
An Arkansas judge recently ruled on reopening the case of the released West Memphis Three. New evidence has been unearthed by investigators hired by Jackson and Walsh during the filming of "West of Memphis." Crittenden County Circuit Court Judge Victor L. Hill ruled that state prosecutor Scott Ellington's ongoing investigation should continue.
According to the decision by Judge Hill, "The prosecutor has the right and obligation to ascertain whether a miscarriage of justice might have occurred…That is his prerogative and he might even be said to derelict in that duty if he failed to conduct such an investigation."
The hearing was in response to a suit seeking access to police evidence in the West Memphis Three murder case filed by Pam Hicks and John Mark Byers (two of the parents of the three West Memphis children murdered in 1993). Hicks stated that she wants closure: "I am asking for everything! Everything I can get, use and know so that an investigation allows for the right person to pay for this crime."
Anne Thompson: When were you enlisted for the film?
Amy Berg: Three and a half years ago.
AT: And when did Peter Jackson get actively involved in trying to free the West Memphis Three, who were in prison from 1993 until they were freed in 2011?
AB: He got involved about 8 years ago. He was privately involved until they were released from prison. He just did not think that having his name affiliated with this would help the case, because it's Arkansas and it's seen as a Hollywood influence rather than common sense.
AT: So he spent money to make this happen. What did he and Fran do to advance the case?
AB: Well they spent millions of dollars. His first expense was hiring all of the forensics experts. And once there was this opinion that this was post-mortem activity it just went from there. But they spent so much money investigating the case.
AT: And he literally saved this trio's lives. Would they have been freed otherwise?
AB: There's no way. I think it's all in the film, but there's just no way anything would have happened if he wasn't involved.
AT: When you took this on there was already a movement that had grown over the years, Johnny Depp and a whole lot of people just fighting for this cause.
AB: There was this great movement behind the scenes, but when I came onto this project, nobody was public about it because it was so negative to have a celebrity behind you in Arkansas. They just discredited everything, so about a year and a half after I started this project there was the event, which we documented in the film and you could feel public opinion had shifted at that point. From then on, until they got out, it was obvious they would get out, but it was just the State continuing to delay and it's still going on today. There was an (October 24) hearing in Arkansas. The prosecutor watched the film and has now interviewed witnesses that are in the film, that was actually edited in a week before Sundance. And they're now investigating Terry Hobbs in Arkansas, but this is just happening… It's like a living breathing thing.

Is this possible with any versions of Hadoop? I am using Cloudera distro, and it seems like it fails each time.

Silverfish are pesky little things that seem to get into everything but there are lots of easy ways to eliminate them. Try some of these low-cost suggestions.
An effective repellent for silverfish is good old-fashioned soap. Just place cakes of soap in clothing drawers, wardrobes, and the linen press and before long, those little pests will be gone. Kitchen cupboards can be washed with Sunlight soap to keep them silverfish-free.
Cloves are available at supermarkets and can be scattered throughout affected areas such as drawers, wardrobes and linen cupboards to eradicate silverfish.
Put two drops onto an old washcloth then put it into a ziplock bag. Puncture the bag in several places to allow the aroma out and place it in the affected area. If you don't have citronella, use lavender oil.
Cinnamon sticks are a cheap, easy silverfish deterrent. Grab a few sticks from your pantry and place them in your wardrobe. They work a treat and only need replacing every year or so.
It doesn't matter if they are fresh or dried, simply place basil leaves in the areas where silverfish have been located and they will drive them out.
Place thick strips of cucumber peel into the area you've found silverfish, laying a strip every couple of feet. If you still have the bugs once all the strips dry up, just replace them.

Later today, I'm meeting with a reporter from BBC Radio. I am in Missouri, USA.
Although I know most of the lexical differences between UK English and US English, I'm still torn. Do I expect this guy to know the intricacies of our flavor of the language and converse with him as I'd converse with anyone else here in the midwest, or do I use UK vernacular when applicable?
The reason I ask is because I also know quite a bit of Spanish, and I run into quite a few Spanish speakers out here as well. I usually just opt to speak English, expecting them to understand then switch to Spanish if I have to. I'm tempted to handle the BBC situation the same way, but the waters get muddied a bit when you're talking about dialects of the same basic language.
What would you do?

Flurry: 90% of iOS apps in use are free downloads
Ninety percent of applications and games downloaded from Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) App Store are offered for free, up from 84 percent in 2012 and 80 percent in 2011, according to new data from mobile analytics firm Flurry. Six percent of installed iOS apps using Flurry Analytics are priced at $0.99, with apps at price points $1.99 and higher making up the remaining 4 percent.
"Some might argue that this supports the idea that 'content wants to be free.' We don't see it quite that way," said Flurry Director of Industry Insights and Analysis Mary Ellen Gordon. "Instead, we simply see this as the outcome of consumer choice: People want free content more than they want to avoid ads or to have the absolute highest quality content possible. This is a collective choice that could have played out differently and could still in particular contexts (e.g., enterprise apps or highly specialized apps such as those tracking medical or financial information)."
Consumers who own devices running Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android mobile operating system are even more resistant to paying for apps and games than their iOS counterparts, Flurry notes. As of April 2013, the average Android app available from the Google Play storefront is just $0.06--the average iPhone app costs $0.19, while the average app optimized for Apple's iPad tablet costs $0.50.
"This suggests that Android owners want app content to be free even more than iOS device users, implying that Android users are more tolerant of in-app advertising to subsidize the cost of developing apps," Gordon said. "These results also support another belief derived from surveys and some transaction data: iPad users tend to be bigger spenders than owners of other devices, including iPhone. On average, the price of iPad apps in use in April of this year was more than 2.5 times that of iPhone apps and more than 8 times that of Android apps. This is likely to be at least partly attributable to the fact that on average iPad owners have higher incomes than owners of other devices."
Flurry credits the rise of free apps to developer A/B testing (i.e., offering apps at competing price points over different periods of time) offering insight into users' willingness to pay based on the number of downloads at each price. Flurry identifies an upward trend in the proportion of price-tested apps that transitioned from paid to free, indicating that many of the developers who ran pricing experiments concluded that charging even $0.99 dramatically limited consumer demand for their apps.
"Developers of some specialized apps may be able to monetize through paid downloads, and game apps sometimes generate significant revenue through in-app purchases, but since consumers are unwilling to pay for most apps, and most app developers need to make money somehow, it seems clear that ads in apps are a sure thing for the foreseeable future," Gordon concludes. "Given that, we believe it's time to shift the conversation away from whether there should be ads in apps at all, and instead determine how to make ads in apps as interesting and relevant as possible for consumers, and as efficient and effective as possible for advertisers and developers."

Every day I probably waste 15 minutes staring at my over-stuffed closets and drawers ending up with the feeling that I don't have anything to wear. How can I streamline my closets without making it a big production?
When the weather cools and fall signals it's on its way, a peek into closets and bureaus around the country is likely to reveal a classic conundrum: fall and winter outfits battling for space with those lingering summer clothes. We don't know why, but for some reason there just never seems to be enough drawer and closet space to accommodate wardrobes for all seasons. So right about now, you may be experiencing what we call a clothes jam. Similar in nature to a traffic jam, a clothes jam occurs when you simply have too many outfits in circulation. A clothes jam will stop drawers in their tracks, make it impossible to navigate wardrobes, and may even lead to a case of fashion frustration (that paralysis that can overcome you when you just don't know what to wear). Before a clothes jam stops you in your tracks this fall, take a few minutes to streamline your wardrobe.
- Schedule Time. Block off an hour on your calendar this week or next to tackle the problem. When you actually carve out the time, it's amazing what you can accomplish in an hour. If you don't have a free hour, you should at least be able to break it up into two half-hour sessions. If you need to, arrange for someone watch the kids. Better yet, have your spouse take the kids out of the house for an hour while you go to work and then return the favor when it's their turn to hit the closets.
- Break it up The reason many people simply grin and bear the clothes gridlock is that they think don't have time to deal with the root of the problem. But changing your closet over to the new season doesn't have to be an all day affair. And if you're really pressed for time, just focus on one trouble spot, like shirts or a particular drawer.
- Apply the 80/20 Rule. The majority of clothes you have probably go unworn. We don't know if it's true or not, but we've heard the statistic that the average American only wears 10% - 20% of the clothes they own. Try to eliminate of some of the extras. As you rotate in your new wardrobe, put those items that you haven't worn once in the previous season in a bag to give to charity or swap with friends. And anything with holes in it should be either thrown out immediately or put in the rag bin. Be ruthless!

Teens Drinking Under Adult Supervision is Never OK: StudyMeredith Carroll
The drinking age is 21, but many parents believe there's no harm in kids consuming alcohol if they do it responsibly and while under adult supervision.
Scientists, however, disagree.
A new study says teens who drink under adult supervision are more prone to develop alcohol problems than kids who don't imbibe until the law says its OK.
Something to think about as prom night approaches.
"The study makes it clear that you shouldn't be drinking with your kids," Barbara J. McMorris, the study's lead author and a senior research associate at the School of Nursing at the University of Minnesota, said to MSNBC.com.
For the study, close to 2,000 seventh graders — half from Victoria, Australia, and half from Washington State — were tracked for three years.
The kids were given annual questionnaires about their experiences with alcohol and their relationships with their parents, and were asked how often they'd consumed more than a few sips of any alcoholic beverage.
The surveys also asked the kids how many times they'd experienced harmful consequences, such as "not able to stop once you had started," "became violent and got into fight," "got injured or had an accident," "got so drunk you were sick or passed out," "had sex with someone you later regretted," or "were unable to remember the night before because you had been drinking."
The Australian teens surveyed were more likely (66 percent) than the kids in Washington (35 percent) to be drinking with adult supervision by eighth grade, and were more likely to have experienced harmful consequences from their drinking (36 percent vs. 21 percent).
However, the study authors concluded that no matter which country to teens were from, teaching kids to drink responsibly didn't work.
According to experts, parents have to stop seeing kids as small adults and realize that their brains haven't finished developing, and that alcohol has a different effect on the unfinished brain. The teen brain is more vulnerable, and "repeated drinking can lead to long term deficits in learning and memory."
An assistant professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center says there's also mounting data to show kids are four times more likely to become alcoholics if they start drinking before the age of 15. The recommendation is for parents to model moderation and not drink a lot in front of their kids because it can lead to confusion and show them it's OK to drink a lot.
As for prom night, experts recommend throwing an alcohol-free party at your house.
I don't think it's realistic, however, to expect most teens will go alcohol-free on prom night or in general. But I think it's right-on to suggest that parents are their kids best role models and that they should be a paragon of moderation in addition talking to their kids regularly about the affects and consequences of alcohol.
Do you think it's OK for kids to drink under the supervision of their parents?

Preservation and expertise at BnF
The Preservation Division offers services for external institutions, libraries and archives, as part of its various production activities.
For collections infested by insects, molds or bacteria, the Disinfection Unit of the Bussy-Saint-Georges Technical Center (Unité de désinfection du Centre technique de Bussy-Saint-Georges) offers ethylene oxide based disinfection.
The three steps process is monitored by the laboratory from beginning to end.
The whole process implies that the collections should not be moved for approximately one month. The scheduled return date can be given when the document is delivered.
Important to know: the documents should not have been formerly treated with chlorinated insecticide components such as mothballs.
The cost of processing is 240 euros (excl.tax) per square meter.
(This rate does not include transportation and insurance).
The Bussy-Saint-Georges Technical Center rigorously respects a detailed processing protocol and treats all collections with the greatest care. However, in no case, BnF can assume liability for incidents occurring during the different phases of the disinfection process.
Acceptance of this protocol releases BnF from any liability concerning possible damage to the materials through the protocol's implementation.
