Comments about Educational Insights GreenThumb Classroom Greenhouse:
I am using this greenhouse to help keep my plants alive in winter when the air is too dry and in summer when a/c usually kills my plants - well hoping that won't be the case next summer. I would like to know if its possible to attach wheels to this greenhouse as I'll need to move it when having a larger number of guests.

Comments about Educational Insights GreenThumb Classroom Greenhouse:
I received this greenhouse to review and I AM IN LOVE! I cannot tell you how much I absolutely ADORE this greenhouse. It has PLENTY of room for all types of my veggie plants. Fits nicely inside our classroom with MORE than enough room for all of our students plants too. It was ridiculousy simple to put together. It took me about 2-3 minutes. The shelves are very sturdy. I cannot say enough good about this product. If I had the $$ I would buy several of them!

United Spirits (USL), Indias largest liquor company, on Wednesday appointed Anand Kripalu as its chief executive from May 1, marking a shift for the company that has so far been headed by UB Group veterans.
Kripalu had joined USL last October as CEO-designate, soon after its acquisition by British drinks giant Diageo. He was formerly MD at Cadbury India, which has now been renamed as Mondelez India Foods.
Kripalu succeeds Ashok Capoor who is retiring after 22 years with Vijay Mallyas UB Group of which he spent the last three years as USLs president and MD. Capoor will, thereafter, assume the role of president (strategy) of the company for a year from May 1, said a communication from USL to the stock exchanges, after a board meeting on Wednesday.
The board of directors is yet to consider Kripalus induction to the board as a director or his appointment as the managing director of the company, both of which will be promptly notified to the stock exchanges once they have been considered and approved by the board, it said. Kripalu, an alumus of IIT Madras and IIM Calcutta, has over 30 years of experience in the FMCG business, most of it at Unilever.

Anyone has one?
I'm thinking about getting one for commuting. They range in price from $500 to $3000.
Some are no-pedaling needed. Some are pedal-assist (which I prefer).
They weigh (get ready) from 40lbs to 120lbs!!

They are illegal here
B/C they have a motor they are classified as motorized vehicles but not street legal b/c they cant conform to all the regs governing automobiles
LoL. that's just amusing. I see no point in a bicycle with a motor...
I would get one when I get really old (like 70) and can't climb those big hills anymore. I plan to be riding up until the the day I die.
I tried one for about 15 minutes at my LBS last year and it was fun. You can pedal it without any power assist but when you turn it on, you go up an hills with little effort or cruise on flat ground without pedaling up to 15 km/hr. I think the battery lasts a couple hours or around 30km. When I'm 70 and ready for one of these, the battery will probably last for months and top speeds will be around 50 km/hr

just buy a vespa.
The pedals are included so when you go by a cop you can pretend it doesnt have a motor
Ya know, 70 isn't nearly as old as it used to be.Originally Posted by Tequila Joe
This is the best one I've seen: http://www.electricvehiclesnw.com/main/lite.htm
Really a nice design. Decent range, fun to ride, feels like a bike. Range is about 20 miles (depending on temperature, hills, speed), but you can switch power off when you're not climbing or accelerating to stretch that. I have one but I don't ride it any more because I like the speed and quiet of a non-powered bike.
BTW: This question tends to excite the purists. Ignore the flames. Get whatever you are most likely to ride.
No flaming intended here--they are just illegal to ride in many places---just like those stupid motorized scooters all the kids have
I checked with the local authorities. They are considered the same as normal bicycles.
They have appeal to me because I don't want to be all sweaty when I ride to work. There are no showers at work and no place for me to change. Still I only live 5 miles away and on a hill.

I got it because I was not confident about commuting 33 miles round trip in the winter in Seattle. It helped a lot when I was getting back into cycling after a long time. You can keep your head up to be aware of traffic and start out quickly at intersections. It's not effortless though. You may still sweat on a pedal electric.
Cheese is good.Originally Posted by skanking biker
The more cheese the merrier
keep riding so you don't break a sweat so easily, and drink cold fluids immediately after you dismountOriginally Posted by austin-rider
electric bike is just silly, put the miles in or buy a vespa. halfway isn't halfway, just silly in this case.
sorry, but this makes as much sense as a car with pedals
I wouldn't get any excercise riding on a Vespa and besides Vespa's are illegal on the bike paths. When I'm 70, I'd still excercise to keep the fat off and the ol' ticker ticking. An electric assist bike will allow the me, as an old geezer, to pedal it so I can at least get some aerobic effect.
If I didn't excecise, I'd probably turn into one of those fat people you see riding on those electric "fat people movers" in the mall. I don't undertand that. I see them all the time, it's my own personal "sixth sense" ......"I see FAT people!" It's not that they can't walk, they choose not to because I see them get off of thier fat people mover to waddle over to the freezer to grab a gallon of Ben 'n Jerry's. If anyone needs excercise, it is them. I think they should put a set of pedals on those things and disconnect the motor. It'll sorta be like a recumbent with 4 wheels... *****, off topic... sorry... my bad...A.D.D.

I assume you were listening to WHO (World hawkeye Organizagtion) Those two are almost as bad as Dolphin & Hansen. They complain about any call against the sqhawks. Nice job Ladies.
It was great watching the women last night. The ball movement, the hustle, the rebounding, all of the stuff that good teams do to win games. I hope the men and especially their coach were watching closely.
Go Cyclones!!
**** Iowa!!
Great game and a good crowd despite the weather. It was nice to see a good turn out of ISU students in Cyclone Alley for this game. I hope they come back for the Big 12 games.
I'm a little mad I forgot this one was on tv...oh well, glad to see they had a good game.

He has his grad year in his profile, so I'm guessing he isn't too worried about that.
It was a great game to watch in Hilton. Got a bit worried when for the first 7-9 mins. we did not stop their simple fakes and drives to the buckets--gave up too many layups because there was not much help defense. But once we got that problem solved and stopped their easy penetration to the bucket, we started to take over. Aus and Bolte were great, but others did well, too. Williams continues to play well and hit the threes; she has come a long way since her freshman year. Good also to see Chassidy hit a couple of threes. Jessica played well and got a few points; blocked out a Hawk so hard she knocked the Hawk player right out of bounds. She will learn more discipline as times goes on. Chelsea played hard without the fouling. Now let's get Anna well.
Chris . . the RAG might benefit by having you write their game stories. They are sooo busy covering the Hawks you know . . they just don't have time to cover ISU victories over Iowa.

Kate Middleton Wedding Dress: What Did Fashion Experts Think?TheMommyologist
Kate Middleton's wedding dress has got to be one of the most talked about pieces of clothing in history after yesterday's Royal Wedding. While the gown wasn't quite what everyone expected, it suited Kate perfectly, and she looked absolutely stunning. I can't even count how many times I looked at the TV screen yesterday and said over and over, "She's so beautiful."
The consensus from the general public seems to be that Kate Middleton's wedding dress, designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, was a huge hit, but what did fashion experts think of the frock?
Hamish Bowles, the European editor for Vogue was reportedly "thrilled" with the gown that Kate chose. The creative director for Elle, Joe Zee, also loved the dress and said it was reminiscent of Grace Kelly.
Kate Middleton's wedding dress seems to be getting great reactions from the fashion and non-fashion world alike. What did you think of her look?

I am planning our Disney World trip for October 2013. I am torn though between staying at a Disney resort or saving some $$ and staying at the condo that my family owns.
The condo is gorgeous..... 7 pools, a water park, 2 bedrooms, close to Animal Kingdom. With the money we save on that we could fly there instead of driving (16+ hour drive).
However, I feel like I would be cheating my kids out of the "whole" experience. What do you think?
Has anyone done both and has any suggestions.

I went on a 14 mile ride today for the first time with my new road bike shoes and 2 bolt cleats. It wasn't good. I didn't bother to get my seat in proper position; I had a nose full of snot because of the cold; but most importantly, the outside of my feet hurt like a b*tch afterwards. The shoes fit very well, not narrow whatsoever. the cleats were positioned such that the sole was right over the pedal axle. So when I got back from the ride, I read about cleat positioning, and how the foot should be positioned slightly forward, because as your pedal reaches 3 o'clock (or 9 for your left pedal), you're dragging the pedal, and your foot is angled upwards. This would position your sole slightly backward. I also read about mid-sole cleat positioning, which seems to be catching on with some tri athletes because it allows them more foot stability and less effort.
Right now, I got my cleat positioned as far back as it would go. I'll try to squeeze some time tomorrow to go on another ride, and perhaps bring me some napkins. But in the mean time, what are people's opinions on cleat positioning?

I am not sure yet. Linux would use the callback for some classes of
devices. CUDA for some vendor ID. We could do the general case (all
object types) and have the callback check the device attribute, but it
could be overkill.

> It might be nice to view all plugins as the same -- regardless of whether they are internal (i.e., part of libhwloc) or external (i.e., a standalone DSO). That way, the majority of the core code doesn't have to know/care whether plugins are internal or external.
> It would also allow slurping external plugins to be internal, which will be fairly important for embedded mode. A specific case which has come up for this multiple times is when higher-level MPI bindings packages (e.g., Python) dlopen libmpi into a private namespace. When OMPI then tries to dlopen its own DSO/external plugins, they can't find the symbols in libmpi that they depend on (because libmpi is in a private namespace). Hence, OMPI has to be built in a slurp-all-plugins-to-be-internal mode to support such configurations.
> As such, we'll need hwloc to also support this slurp-all-plugins-to-be-internal kind of mode, too.
> I can help with the build mojo for this, if desired.
I don't enough about all this so we'll your help for sure :) We'll see
once backends are cleaned up.

By Representative John Rusche, Minority Leader
No Idaho parent asked me to come to this Legislature and underfund Idaho's public education system. That, however, is the action endorsed last week by the House of Representatives when the majority party passed a $126 million tax cut for businesses and the wealthy.
Bills like this one make it hard for me to go home to my constituents and tell them that my peers in the majority party share their values of opportunity and educational success. It is hard for me to offer Idaho families hope that Idaho's elected leaders are prepared to bridge the gap between promises and actions.
After 20 years of this kind of flawed policy, Idaho ranks 50th in family wages, first in percentage of minimum wage jobs and near-last in per student investment.
These poor outcomes are interrelated. These outcomes result from a generation of generous tax cuts to the rich while cutting investment in our children's future. Even businesses that might desire such a tax reduction would be loathe to seek it at the expense of a sound public education system.
Two problems I see with this bill (H 548). First, it does not reflect the wishes of ldahoans. Second, it ignores the evidence of the Majority's past tax policy.
As of now, 94 out of the state's 115 school districts must pass supplement levies simply to keep the lights on. Just 15 years ago, only 41 districts need such levies. In the intervening time, Idaho slashed its ability to raise money for education by cutting taxes for the rich. What happens if there is another $126 million removed and unavailable?
Local taxpayers took on ever increasing tax burdens. Why? Idaho families never said they wanted to see the opportunities for their children diminish. Twenty years of failed policy has led to many school districts with 4-day school weeks, reduction in extracurriculars and more crowded classrooms.
So, if the Legislature continues to short public schools, the local school districts ask to raise property taxes to keep operating. Are parents and communities going to choose to limit their children's potential?
If they have a choice, none will do it. So in elections, the incumbent legislators brag that they are "cutting taxes". And are "fiscal conservatives". They have been playing and, it appears, continue to want to play, "hide the ball" and shift financial responsibility to local property taxes. Is that making education a priority?
So, what of the State Budget committee recommending a 5 percent increase in education spending? That brings us to 2008 investment levels, but fails to note that we have 14,000 more students today! Remember, it was not as if the majority was lavishing wealth on schools before 2008 either.
If education really were a priority—and if we lived in a fantasy world where we really had an extra 5126 million to trim—wouldn't lawmakers invest that in education? Wouldn't lawmakers who valued education have discussed the governor's school task force recommendations as the package of proposals they were intended to be? Wouldn't lawmakers take a sober look at the potential $350 million price tag to implement those thoughtful recommendations? Wouldn't lawmakers want to deliver a world class education to students as soon as possible?
If education were a priority, they would.
If education were not a priority, they would propose another round of tax cuts.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (CTS)— Tuesday, November 5, 2013, marked the completion of course work for the second cohort of Specific Ministry Pastor (SMP) Program students at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Ind. The SMP Program is a distance-education program designed to meet the need to train pastors in context for ministry and mission opportunities in the church.
"We at Concordia Theological Seminary are extremely proud of this second cohort of men to complete the Specific Ministry Pastors Program! While we believe there's no substitute for the immersion into God's Word that comes with three years of worship, dialogue and study on the seminary campus, we also believe these men have received truly excellent preparation to serve the church. In fact, they're already demonstrating this with faithful service in settings as diverse as Turtle Lake, Wisconsin; suburban Chicago; Spokane, Washington; and Athens, Georgia," commented the Rev. Dr. Carl Fickenscher, CTS director of the SMP Program. "We're also extremely pleased that one of this year's SMP finishers, Joshua Lee, has become the first to enter our Master of Divinity Program to complete the advanced degree. We look forward to many more of our SMP students going on to General Ministry Pastor status through the M.Div. and Alternate Route options we offer. We thank God that He continues to raise up men who proclaim Christ crucified!"
Members of the Beta Cohort who have completed their studies are:

Horizon League log5
by Ken Pomeroy on Monday, March 3, 2014
I'm using my ratings and Bill James' log5 formula to estimate the chances of each participating team advancing to a particular round of its conference tournament.
Horizon League
Location: First round at higher seed, quarters/semis at Green Bay, finals at higher seed
Dates: March 4, 7, 8, 11
Chance of bid thief: 5% (?)
Current kPOY: Kiefer Sykes, Green Bay
Qtrs Semis Final Champ 1 Green Bay 100 100 88.8 68.7 2 Cleveland St. 100 100 69.1 22.7 3 Wright St. 100 61.3 21.2 4.7 4 Valparaiso 83.5 50.7 6.8 1.8 6 Oakland 65.8 25.6 6.4 0.9 7 Youngstown St 34.2 13.2 3.3 0.4 5 Milwaukee 62.3 26.1 2.3 0.4 8 Detroit 37.7 17.1 1.7 0.3 9 UIC 16.5 6.1 0.3 0.03
Green Bay's ranked 51st in my system, and they must be pretty decent in the RPI because they are at-large worthy in most brackets posted at Bracket Matrix. That's also because Green Bay beat Virginia and that is their meal ticket right now. That game happened to be at the Resch Center this season. What if it was at Charlottesville? They probably would have lost. And nobody would be saying Green Bay is an at-large. Yet they would be the exact same team. The tournament selection process hurts my head.
Maybe Green Bay is in today, but what if it lost on its home-floor? I don't know. It seems like you can't rule the Phoenix out in that case, but they're far from automatic, so there's probably just a low chance of this becoming a two-bid league. But you never know. I hear this is the weakest bubble since the last time the bubble was weak. Remember that year with the strong bubble? It was that time UNC went 25-2 and was kept out in favor of 28-1 Kentucky, who snuck in with the 12-seed. There were 42 unbeaten teams that year. Lucky for Green Bay, this is not that season.
The Horizon gives a double-bye to the top two seeds and a double-bird to everyone else, so there's a 91 percent chance that either Green Bay or Cleveland State gets the auto bid. Both of those teams are substantially better than the rest of the league, so if one of them wins this event, the conference will be well-represented in the bigger tourney.

Cal Begins Postseason with Pac-12 Championship
Related Links
March 22, 2013
The California women's gymnastics team begins its postseason Saturday with a trip to Gill Coliseum on the Oregon State campus for the Pac-12 Championships. The No. 8 seed Golden Bears will compete with Arizona, Arizona State and Washington at 1:30 p.m. for the afternoon session, while the top four seeds – Oregon State, Stanford, UCLA and Utah – will compete in the evening session beginning at 7 p.m. Seeding is determined by national rankings that are based on Regional Qualifying Score (RQS).
Both sessions will be broadcast live on the Pac-12 Networks, and live stats will be available at osubeavers.com and /ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=30100&ATCLID=208202233.
The team with the highest score from the two sessions will be crowned Pac-12 champion. Individual champions will also be determined by the combined sessions. Conference awards for Gymnast of the Year, Freshman/Newcomer of the Year, Specialist of the Year, Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Coach of the Year will also be announced.
Last year at the Pac-12 Championship, the Golden Bears finished eighth out of eight with a score of 193.525, while UCLA claimed the title with a 197.200. Cal is well on its way to a better finish this season, having posted its highest score since 2007 last week at home in Haas Pavilion. The Bears set the second-highest team score in program history in a 197.525-196.525 loss to then-No. 11 Nebraska. Cal also posted the third-highest vault team score (49.30) in program history and set or matched a total of 12 season or career bests.
The Pac-12 is one of the nation's elite gymnastics conferences, with both Utah and UCLA as two of the four teams that have ever claimed an NCAA Gymnastics title. The teams have combined for 15 championships in the 31-year history of NCAA Gymnastics. Five of the teams competing in Saturday's events are ranked in the Top 25, and just three of the conference's eight teams have won a conference championship – UCLA, Stanford and Oregon State.

Little goes right for Nats, on field or in stands
WASHINGTON Ryan Zimmerman's 30-game hitting streak counts as one of the few-and-far-between bright spots in what otherwise has been the latest Nationals Disaster of a season for the capital's last-place baseball team.
It's not just that the Washington Nationals are losing – it's how they're losing, blowing leads game after game. And it's not just that they're not drawing fans to the ballpark or the TV – it's how few they're drawing, game after game.
There was more of the same Friday night, when Washington took a 4-1 lead over the Philadelphia Phillies into the sixth inning, only to lose 10-6 in 12 innings thanks to another bullpen collapse. A crowd of 23,430 at 41,888-capacity Nationals Park – many cheering loudly for the World Series champions, not the hosts – saw Washington drop to 11-22, the worst record in the majors, despite coming off a .500 road trip.
"The way I put it is: If you want people in the stands, you've got to win," said Zimmerman, whose streak ended Wednesday at San Francisco. "You win, people come watch. I think that's the way it is in any city."
Heading into the 11-game homestand that began Friday, the average attendance in Year 2 at Nationals Park has been below 20,000; only the Pirates and Athletics bring in fewer fans. Last season, Washington averaged 29,005.
Team president Stan Kasten won't discuss details of season-ticket sales, acknowledging only that they decreased. He is fond of saying that a team gets the attendance it deserves.
Asked whether baseball is concerned, MLB chief operating officer Bob DuPuy wrote in an e-mail: "The Nationals had a difficult year on the field last year and got off to a tough start. The team has good young talent and everyone in baseball is convinced that as the product on the field improves, given the wonderful ballpark, fans will come out."
Not many people are watching from the comfort of the couch, either. According to The Nielsen Company, the Nationals are averaging 11,000 households for local telecasts and a rating of 0.48 – meaning less than half of one percent of area homes with TVs tune in.
At least that represents an uptick from the 8,000 households for 2008, numbers that, at the time, DuPuy called disappointing.
Put in a baseball-wide context, the numbers look worse – and, combined with the attendance figures, might raise questions about the popularity of baseball in a city that was without a team for more than three decades.
According to Nielsen, local telecasts of Nationals and Orioles games average a 0.57 rating in Washington – more than 80 percent lower than the average across major league U.S. markets for local TV baseball coverage.
To DuPuy's point, the Nationals opened 0-7, equaling the worst start in the history of the Expos-Nationals franchise and baseball's longest losing streak to open a season since 2003.
"Fans kind of got down on us early," said Adam Dunn, the cleanup hitter whose production is one of the positives so far.
Missteps in 2009, some the team's fault, some not:
– GM Jim Bowden resigned during spring training and team employee Jose Rijo was fired, shortly after the revelation that a Dominican prospect the Nationals signed for more than $1 million had lied about his age and name.
– The "Natinals" game, when Zimmerman and Dunn wore jerseys that had the team's name misspelled;
– The "Elijah Dukes Little League Episode," when the outfielder was scratched from the lineup and fined $500 for showing up late after making a paid appearance for a Virginia kids league. Dukes' replacement in center field, Roger Bernadina, broke his ankle making a catch that day.

6 Skills to Boost Your Career Prospects This Year
Posted By Miranda Marquit On 01/07/2013 @ 9:14 am In Career | 2 Comments
As a new year gets underway, you might be trying to figure out how you can improve your career prospects. Whether you plan to ask for a promotion, or whether you are looking for a new job, it's vital that you develop marketable skills.
You might be surprised at some of the skills that are becoming more important as a way to help your career [3].
These days, your career is all about the soft skills. While hard skills matter, especially in some jobs like computer programming, it's the soft skills that will really help you move to the next level.
If you want a better job, enjoying the perks of management, you will need to develop the soft skills that are a little less easy to define. For the most part, you can't get a certification for the types of skills that will boost your career prospects in the coming year. Instead, you have to show them through career networking [4], and while on the job:
As you prepare for another year, take the time to evaluate your skill set. Think about how you can improve your soft skills, and prepare yourself to take advantage of new career opportunities in a new year.

Kristen Stewart Says Robert Pattinson Is "Not Her Job" In Vogue ArticleTheMommyologist
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have always been very private about their relationship, and Kristen doesn't plan on changing that trend anytime soon. Stewart scored the new cover of Vogue magazine, and a preview of her interview has been released.
Let's be honest, the first thing that anyone thinks of with Kristen Stewart is her hot romance with Robert Pattinson, so let's cut to the chase and get to the good part of the article…what Kristen said about Rob.
When asked why she stays mum on her relationship with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart replied, "It's not my job."
What exactly does she mean by that? Was she trying to say that it's not her place to disclose information about Robert without his consent, or was she simply stating that she will not answer any questions that don't relate to her career?
Whatever the reason, we wish that Robert or Kristen would just go ahead and spill the beans already. The whole world already knows that they are dating.
Kristen Stewart also mentioned in the interview that she misses being "just some chick at some place." Something tells me that she won't get much sympathy considering she's practically the envy of every girl across the country. Plenty of women would give up their privacy just to have one night with Robert Pattinson!

ECU's Carden flourishing in simplified offense
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- As a disciple of Mike Leach's "Air Raid" offense, Lincoln Riley knows all the intricacies in building a high-power offense.
But Riley, East Carolina's 29-year-old offensive coordinator, used a new trick in bringing along first-year starting quarterback Shane Carden: thin out the playbook.
With a little less to think about, the sophomore flourished, throwing for 308 yards and five touchdowns in a 41-7 rout of Memphis. He completed 25 of 39, didn't throw an interception and was named Conference USA's offensive player of the week.
In his last three games, Carden has completed nearly 70 percent of his passes for 864 yards and seven touchdowns, most of his nine for the season.
Certainly, the degree of difficulty has decreased - Memphis' defense is not in the same atmosphere as that of South Carolina - but Carden is getting the hang of the college game. That's good news for East Carolina (4-3, 3-1 C-USA), but not necessarily for its next opponent, Alabama-Birmingham (1-5, 0-2).
"I think the simplification of the offense starting last week allowed him to just react instead of having to overthink everything," said ECU coach Ruffin McNeil. "The game is starting to slow down for Shane and because of that he is starting to recognize and understand coverages."
The next project: cultivating a dependable No. 2 receiver to complement Justin Hardy, keeping him out of double coverage. Hardy has 45 catches for 617 yards, which by itself is a league high. On a per-game basis, he is behind Marshall's Tommy Shuler, 93.7 to 88.1.
Seven other Pirates have caught at least 10 passes, but only Andrew Bodenheimer has 20.
With two of its players receiving weekly C-USA honors, resurgent Houston (3-3, 2-0) returns to action tonight against suddenly struggling Southern Methodist (2-4, 1-1).
Linebacker Phillip Steward has taken over leadership of the Cougars' defense, registering 13 tackles, 21/2 for loss and an interception in a 39-17 win last weekend over UAB. The senior is piling up player-of-the-year type numbers - he leads the league in tackles (72) and tackles for loss (121/2) and is second in sacks (61/2).
He had 21/2 of the Cougars' eight sacks against UAB and intercepted the ninth pass of his career.
Matt Hogan booted a C-USA record six field goals, with his 21 points breaking a school record for kick scoring. His long was 52 yards.
Meanwhile, SMU is reeling from "snapping" Tulane's 15-game losing streak, 27-26. Coach June Jones faces the improbable specter of his team having the lowest passer efficiency rating, even below the "Mendoza Line" of 100. A league-high 11 interceptions will do that for you.

It has been three years since Sigur Ros' last album, Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust, and with the band still on an indefinite hiatus -- and with frontman Jonsi busying himself with a solo career and scoring Cameron Crowe's upcoming "We Bought A Zoo" -- it doesn't look like we'll be seeing any new material from them anytime soon. But not to worry, Sigur Ros fans, they haven't completely closed the tap as they've got a brand new concert movie coming out, just in time for your holiday shopping.
Directed by Vincent Morrisset (Arcade Fire's "Mirroir Noir"), "Inni" arrived at the Venice Days sidebar of the Venice Film Festival as a bit of a mystery last month, but quickly revealed itself to be a concert documentary. But this isn't your ordinary stick-some-cameras-around-the-stage-and-shoot-the-band effort. Called in as the band were winding down their tour for Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust, Morisset was tasked with documenting their two-night stand at London's Alexandra Palace and pitched a unique approach that favors handheld HD and "surveillance" cameras to capture the intimacy of their songs, while the transfer to 16mm gives the picture its textured, blown-out look. Running 75 minutes, the concert is unlike any other and as the clip below from NPR reveals, "Inni" places a strong emphasis on mood which consequently puts the music in sharp focus.
The film and accompanying soundtrack will hit store shelves on November 15th in a variety of formats and will do a solid run of festival screenings in the lead up to its release. Check out the clip and a bunch of pics from the film below.

Doctor refuses to prescribe insulin
Resolved Question:
I called my doctor today to have my insulin prescription renewed. Not only did they tell me that they would not prescribe the insulin, they also told me that they have no record of me being diabetic. I informed them that not only do they know I am diabetic, but I have a copy of the last prescription that THEY wrote for me for my insulin. I was able to get a copy from my local drug store who filled it. They told me that if I want a prescription for insulin, I would have to see the doctor first and have tests done to prove I was diabetic. At this point I am thinking "This is ridiculous". So they then proceed to tell me that the soonest appointment I can get is next Friday. I have enough insulin for about a day or two at best left. My question is.... Is this some sort of malpractice or something? Who can I complain to? I could very well die because my doctor doesn't keep good records, and flat out told me it wasn't their problem if it's not in their records.

Where do you live? How long have you been on insulin? How long have you seen this doctor?
Did you talk to the DOCTOR, or just the staff?

Reply to Family Physician's Post: I live in Florida, and I use Humnalog Pens. I've had diabetes and have been on insulin for 11 years now. I have been seeing this doctor for about 2 years now. I used to live in NY and never had any problems getting my medication from my doctor there. This doctor has been pretty horrible since I started going there. I am currently seeking to find another doctor. I spoke with the staff. They refused to put me through to the doctor. I find it ridiculous that they claim that they had no idea I am even diabetic when they have prescribed me insulin before.
Family Physician

Actually Insulin is available without a prescription - Most type of insulin do NOT need a prescription (although an individual pharmacy may establish their own policies.)
I do not know if your particular pharmacy would give you Humalog without a prescription - but that is one option.
I agree that you need to find a new physician. The other option you have - going to an ER or an Urgent Care Clinic.
Also - after hours, you may have a better chance - the office staff isn't there, and the answering service can contact the physician (or the covering physician) to get a prescription.

I left a message with the after hours service that they not only know I have diabetes, but that I also have a copy of the last prescription that they wrote me for my insulin. I asked them how it's possible that they have no record of my diabetes. The doctor, sounding very annoyed that anyone even question their office practices, returned my call and told me that they are sending me a discharge paper and told me to find a new doctor. There seems to be something VERY wrong here. There has to be some sort of law against this, no?
Family Physician
replied 9 years ago.
You could indeed file complaints with the state board of medicine in your state, and your insurance company. Some insurance companies (usually HMO) "credential" doctors, and if they get enough complaints - they will "deselect" the physician.
If your insurance company requires you to have a "primary care physician" - then you could call them and inform them of the problem.
The SHORT TERM problem is getting the insulin - I would check with the pharmacy if you can get new vial without a prescription. Otherwise - an urgent care clinic or an ER are you best choices.
I wouldn't get ANYWHERE near this doctor as a patient. I would find a new physician ASAP, and have your records transferred (sign a records release at your new doctor's office)

I've gotten an appointment with a new doctor in my area. Unfortunately, he cannot see me until next Wednesday. I was able to get a vial of insulin from my local CVS. I am going to follow up anf file a formal complaint with the state medical board. I can't believe a doctor could be so extremely unprofessional and unconcerned about their patient's health. Thank you for your help and advice. It is greatly appreciated.

Act One is a stage adaptation of the same-titled 1959 autobiography of Moss Hart, who is well known as co-writer (with George Kaufman) of such classic American plays as You Can't Take It With You and The Man Who Came to Dinner and as writer of screenplays for such films as 1954's A Star is Born. Hart's autobiography has long been recognized as one of the best written accounts of life in show business.
Hart's book was adapted into a play by the esteemed James Lapine, librettist of such musicals as Into the Woods and Falsettos and director of many successful Broadway shows, including Sunday in the Park with George and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
In late 2013, it was announced that Act One would be produced on Broadway, and the cast was later announced to include Tony Shalhoub (Monk), Santino Fontana (Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella), and Andrea Martin (Pippin). Order your tickets now to see this exciting play tell a story of theatre royalty.

I am trying to convert a Minimum Bounding Rectangle from double values to float values. After the conversion, I need the (float) rectangle to be equal to or contain the (double) rectangle (the float rectangle needs to be bigger than or equal to the double rectangle). To do that I want to be able to specify which way to round the double to convert it to float. So, when casting the "Top" of the rectangle, I would round up, but when casting the "Bottom" of the rectangle, I would round down.
Is there a class that allows me to do this?

Legislative News is AUSA Government Affairs Directorate's weekly electronic newsletter, and is published every Monday when Congress is in session.
In this issue:
AUSA President Gen. Gordon R. Sullivan, USA, Ret., met with Rep. Chet Edwards, D-Texas. Rep. Edwards, chairman of the Military Construction and Veterans' Affairs Appropriations Subcommittee, and Sullivan discussed various military construction issues. Sullivan also shared his concerns about the defense and Army budget and the need to increase the size of the Army. Rep. Edwards is a long-time supporter of increasing the size of the Army and is known as a national champion for America's veterans, troops, and their families. He is a former recipient of AUSA's Outstanding Legislator Award.SENATE PAVES WAY FOR PASSAGE OF 2010 DEFENSE SPENDING BILL
The Senate approved a cloture motion to end debate on the fiscal 2010 Defense spending bill during a rare vote at 1 a.m., Friday morning!
The bill provides:
* a 3.4 percent military pay increase
* $29.2 billion for the Defense Health Program to provide quality medical care for servicemembers and their families and funding to address the serious financial challenges facing the Defense Health Program; including fully funding the Department of Defense request of $372 million for military medical research; in addition $120 million is included for Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Health Research
* $472.4 million for Family Advocacy programs and full funding for Family Support and Yellow Ribbon Program to provide support to military families, including quality child care, job training for spouses, and expanded counseling and outreach to families experiencing the separation and stress of war
* $154 billion for the Defense Operation and Maintenance Account to increase readiness and training of our troops. The bill rebalances funding from preparing for Cold War-era type conflicts to the highest priority readiness requirements for the hybrid operations that our military will be facing for the foreseeable future
* $526 million for Situational Awareness upgrades to 353 Bradley Fighting Vehicles
* $364 million for Stryker Combat Vehicles
* $3.34 billion to increase and improve the military's fleet of helicopters, including $326 million for 54 Light Utility Helicopters; $1.26 billion for 79 UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopters; $882 million for 27 CH-47 Chinook Helicopters; and $584.8 million for 24 UH-1Y Huey/AH-1Z Cobra Helicopters
* $498 million for the procurement of Medium Tactical Vehicles, and $613 million for the procurement of Heavy Tactical Vehicles
* $2.29 billion for continued development of the restructured Future Combat Systems ProgramAUSA'S REPORT CARD FOR THE 1ST SESSION, 111TH CONGRESS
The 1st Session of the 111th Congress is officially over! Well not quite. The Senate leadership is still working on health care reform legislation. Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has made it clear that he is determined to win passage of his health care bill by Christmas.
AUSA does have much to cheer about as the year draws to a close. Congress authorized the full amount of the President's budget request for the Army. They granted the Defense Secretary the authority to increase the size of the Army by 30,000 during the next two years, which is vital to ensuring that the Army can meet the demands of the nation's security. Congress moved to help Soldiers and their families by providing a 3.4 percent pay increase, blocking a proposed increase in TRICARE copayments for retirees and authorizing compensation for those who provide care for catastrophically injured or ill servicemembers, and they extended to spouses the right that servicemembers already enjoy to keep their original state residency when they move to new posts. These and other provisions in the fiscal 2010 National Defense Authorization Act were supported by AUSA, and their passage is vitally important to our men and women in uniform.
However, some important proposals were not authorized. The long-sought phase out of the disability offset to retired pay for medically retired servicemembers was blocked by the Senate despite support from the White House and the House of Representatives. Similarly, a plan to repeal the deduction of VA survivor benefits from military Survivor Benefits Plan annuities was dropped for lack of funding offsets. And a provision that would have authorized retroactive reserve component (RC) retirement age credit for active-duty service since 11 September 2001 (current law credits only service since 28 January 2008) also failed for lack of funding.
The House passed a bill that would fund increases in reimbursable rates to TRICARE and Medicare providers. The Senate's fiscal 2010 defense spending bill included a provision that would delay the scheduled 21.2 percent cut in Medicare physician payments to February 28, 2010.
Here are some of our major objectives for the last legislative session and how we fared:
AUSA spoke out for: Increasing active Army endstrength to 700,000.Congress responded by: Authorizing active Army endstrength to increase by 30,000 above Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 levels during FY 2011 and FY 2012 if sufficient funding is requested in the budget. We will continue to press our case for the increased endstrength.
AUSA spoke out for: Closing the pay gap between Soldiers and the private sector.Congress responded by: Decreasing the current pay gap by approving a January 2010 pay raise of 3.4 percent for military personnel.
AUSA spoke out for: Not increasing TRICARE fees/deductibles.Congress responded by: Fully funding Defense Heath Programs and preventing increases in copayments for inpatient care in civilian hospitals under TRICARE Standard but only through 30 September 2010.
AUSA spoke out for: Enacting legislation to authorize access to TRICARE by RC gray-area retirees.Congress responded by: Extending eligibility for TRICARE Standard to RC gray-area retirees who have not yet reached age 60.
AUSA spoke out for: Achieving affordable, adequate housing for single Soldiers and Soldiers with families.Congress responded by: Authorizing $2.2 billion to support and expand high-quality housing for all servicemembers and their families.
AUSA spoke out for: Allowing military spouses to claim a permanent state of residence.Congress responded by: Authorizing military spouses to claim residency in the same state as their sponsor.
AUSA spoke out for: Funding the Federal Impact Aid Program to preclude children of military families from being disadvantaged in public schooling.Congress responded by: Authorizing funding for Impact Aid of $30 million for schools with 20 percent or more military dependents, $14 million for districts experiencing a change of 250 students or more due to rebasing or base realignment, and $5 million for schools that serve military students with severe disabilities
AUSA spoke out for: Allowing Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS) employees to redeem unused sick leave at retirement.Congress responded by: Phasing in application of unused sick leave toward length of service at retirement under FERS.
AUSA spoke out for: Funding RC endstrength at 371,000 for Army National Guard and 206,000 for Army Reserve.Congress responded by: Authorizing Army National Guard endstrength at 358,200 and Army Reserve endstrength at 205,000. Not what we were hoping for, but the fight continues.
AUSA spoke out for: Funding shortfalls of RC equipment.Congress responded by: Authorizing $6.9 billion to address RC equipment shortfalls.
AUSA spoke out for: Funding accelerated modernization of RC equipment.Congress responded by: Authorizing $600 million for procurement of critical, high-priority equipment to address RC unfunded equipment shortfalls.
AUSA spoke out for: Funding Army procurement items deemed essential for continuing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.Congress responded by: Authorizing $6.7 billion for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles; $4.3 billion to up-armor additional High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs); more than $11 billion to replace equipment lost in combat; and $2.2 billion for equipment and research to defeat improvised explosive devices.
AUSA spoke out for: Ensuring adequate stocks of munitions to support training and warfighting stockpiles.Congress responded by: Authorizing $2.05 billion for Army ammunition programs.
AUSA spoke out for: Maintaining the Army's strategic advantage and advancing modernization in its Current Force.Congress responded by: Authorizing full funding for Army helicopter programs and M1 Abrams tank modernization, M2 Bradley and Patriot Air and Missile Defense system.
AUSA spoke out for: Developing the Future Force for the transforming Army.Congress responded by: Authorizing $2.45 billion for the communications network and spinout equipment sets from the Future Combat Systems program.

Our biggest focus at Box has always been helping you easily share content and collaborate with coworkers on important documents. One way we do this is through Box email notifications, which keep you up to date by sending emails whenever a colleague comments on an important document or when certain activities occur in one of your folders, like file downloads and uploads.
We're completely revamping email notifications today in order to give users and admins more granular control over the types of emails you receive. Existing Box users won't notice much of a difference right off the bat since we've mapped your existing settings to our new ones, but we want to be sure you know about new ways to update your account settings if you're ready for a change. And, if you're new to Box, this should help get you started on setting up your notifications and staying up-to-date on the latest changes with your content. Without further ado, here are five new ways to customize your Box email notifications:
- Control which activities prompt notifications. From within the settings page, you can now enable or disable notifications for file previews, downloads, uploads, deletions, comments and discussions. This lets you decide what notifications you get for which, if any, of these types of activities.
- Customize notifications based on ownership. Once you update your default settings, you can also decide if you want to be notified differently based on folders you own vs. folders you've joined. Set up your defaults for each to make sure you only get emails when you want to be in the loop.
- Change settings for individual folders. Want to change notification options for a certain folder? No problem. You now have more granular control over these options; enable or disable individual types of updates (such as uploads, downloads and comments) by adjusting the folder properties.
- Bundle similar notifications. We've removed the "once per login per day" setting since you can now customize more efficiently. To make sure you're not overwhelmed by too many similar notifications, we'll batch similar updates together into one consolidated email when multiple actions happen within a folder.
- Disable all notifications. You can now choose to disable all notifications you get for an individual folder by adjusting the folder properties. Folder owners can also set this option for the collaborators within a specific folder – a great security feature if you don't want updates sent automatically via email. Only folder owners or co-owners can change the setting once folder notifications are disabled.
As with many of our features, Enterprise account admins can customize notification settings or disable them completely across the entire account. One last change you'll see when the notification updates roll out today: We've also reorganized our daily digest emails, so you'll get a more concise and easier to navigate view of your daily Box activity. Check out this preview: (http://www.box.net/shared/h70bglfchjxitnimvmmj) We hope you're as excited as we are for these changes to email notification settings. Keep the feedback coming – we love hearing from our customers!

Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,968 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
For the past few years Jason Calacanis' LAUNCH festival has been one of the premier venues to -- you guessed it -- launch a hot new startup in the hopes of attracting serious investment dollars.
When the JOBS Act was signed into law last year, Calacanis saw an opportunity to broaden the potential sources of those investment dollars by incorporating a real-time, live crowdfunding campaign into the annual event.
- SEC Chair Says JOBS Act Crowdfunding Coming Soon
- Kickstarter and NASA Get New Crowd Apps - The Crowded Room
LAUNCHFest 2013 kicks off Monday, and we still don't have an official equity crowdfunding system in place for non-accredited investors, but Calacanis and Company have found a way to move forward with their live crowdfunding experiment anyway.
MicroVentures, LAUNCH and SourceBits teamed up to develop a special app for the festival, which runs March 4 - 6 in San Francisco.
"At the event, accredited investors can use the app to show interest in investing in the 50 startups (launching) on stage. If you make a commitment, it's a non-binding show of interest," explains Calacanis via an e-mail. "Your contact information is sent to the startup, and you two can get coffee in one of our Davos-style offices."
The app also allows non-accredited investors to play along with an allotment of 10,000 "Launch dollars" (read: imaginary) to demonstrate how actual live crowdfunding might work in the near future.
"The concept here is that if the crowdfunding laws from the Jobs Act were passed (hurry up, SEC!), then you the attendee could invest $50 or $100 or $500 in a startup you liked," explains Calacanis.
As Calacanis points out, those small investments could have produced some nice returns had equity crowdfunding been in place during past LAUNCH festivals, where the likes of Mint.com, Yammer and Dropbox all launched from the stage.
The LAUNCH fest will stream live from San Francisco starting on Monday at http://festival.launch.co/live. You can watch a walk-through of the app with Calacanis in the video below:

All quotes tagged Gun
(663 quotes found)
"After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military."
"If the world were a bar, America would currently be the angry drunk waving around a loaded gun. Yeah, the other people in the bar may be afraid of him, but they sure as hell don't respect him."
"If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink."

Technology against poverty: Three inspiring new successes
2011 is over, but the impact technology had on humanitarian aid planning last year could be just beginning to emerge.
Humanitarian issues demand immediate solutions. In 2011, a lot of solutions to crises placed heavy emphasis on technology. Here are three notable examples:
Disaster prone Bangladesh turned to GPS to provide early weather warnings to fishermen.
Airtel, a private mobile operator in Bangladesh will provide early weather warnings to fishermen using its global positioning system via cell phones in partnership with the Center for Global Change, the Campaign for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods and two international NGOs, according to IRIN.
More than half on Bangladesh's population uses mobile phones. Early weather warnings could prove to be a life-saving tool. "75 percent of the country's population lives in rural, disaster-prone areas, an ideal environment in which to exploit the potential of mobile phones to mitigate disasters," IRIN reported.
Technology has helped put Kibera on the map, literally.
Finding Kibera, a district of Nairobi, on a map before 2009 was not an easy task because it wasn't on one. The location of schools, medical facilities, water points and other basic information was simply not available. As a result, The Map Kibera Project was created in order to provide this information. The goal: to train nine Kibera residents in using GPS devices to gather geographical information in a "citizen mapping" project.
Now this information is available on OpenStreetMap, a global map anyone can view and edit. Organizers plan to continue adding information on the map and eventually start mapping other communities.
Mobile phones have turned ordinary people into extraordinary philanthropists.
This past year, one of the worst famines in modern history struck the Horn of Africa. Humanitarian aid and donor government assistance poured in from all over the world. One campaign, "Kenyans for Kenya," set a goal to raise $5.28 million dollars in one month. Within 10 days, the goal was met and a bigger goal of $10.56 million set. By September 1, more than $7 million was collected, $1.6 million through private donations.
Contributions, most of them from Kenyan citizens and organizations, were made through a mobile phone money transfer service operated by telecom firm Safaricom. The money collected has been used to send money to affected areas through the Kenyan Red Cross Society, IRIN reports. This has been one of the most successful humanitarian fundraising campaigns Kenya has ever seen, and its efforts are ongoing.
These are only a few examples of how technology has positively impacted humanitarian responses to crises. Technology isn't the answer to all the world's problems, but it's proving to be an effective tool.

Now the bestselling author of Praying the Names of God reveals the richness of God's character and love found in his names. The Names of God Bible restores more than 10,000 occurrences of specific names of God–like Yahweh, El Shadday, El Elyon, and Adonay–to help readers discover the Hebrew names of God within the biblical text, understand the meaning and significance of each name, encounter God in a new way through prayers, promises, and devotional readings. Perfect for personal study, prayer, and reflection, The Names of God Bible includes these special features.

A new study issued by digital advertising technology company SocialVibe reveals that 70 percent of consumers actively engaged in social media have made a purchase as a result of being connected to a brand online — whether on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest or Google+.
The study also revealed that 61 percent of consumers first consider the brands they are connected with when shopping.
"Connections" in the study are defined as a consumer choosing to connect with a brand online through an action such as "liking" the brand on Facebook, or "following" it on Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest or Google+. For the study – conducted by the Digital Marketing Intelligence team at independent research firm GfK — 878 consumers opted in to take a survey across SocialVibe's network of partner sites.
Highlights from the study include:
1. Brand connections drive purchase behavior: The study revealed that 70 percent of consumers socially connected to a brand online have made a purchase as a direct result of that connection, demonstrating that social connections are becoming increasingly important for brand marketing efforts.
According to the study, 19 percent of consumers make purchases "often" and 29 percent make purchases "sometimes" because of brand connections. Similarly, many consumers are testing these waters, with 22 percent having made a purchase once or twice because of a brand connection.
2. Consumers connect to re-experience brands: Twenty percent of consumers connect with brands because they'd like to receive special offers, which suggests that they want to repurchase with an offer or discount. These connections are providing consumers with a direct outlet to deals from the brands they prefer.
"Connections are really a consumer's way of saying that they would like to spend more time with the brand," said John Capano, chief marketing officer of SocialVibe.
The study also found that 16 percent of consumers choose to connect with a brand because they want to stay up-to-date on the brand's news and information, further illustrating a consumer desire to deepen the brand experience and an important takeaway for brand loyalty operations.
3. Once connected, consumers regularly stay in touch: Results from the study also indicate that 23 percent of consumers check back weekly for updates on the brands they're connected to, with as many as 17 percent of consumers monitoring brands for updates on a daily basis.
"Driving lasting connections with a brand through social properties like their Facebook page or Twitter handle provides an avenue for ongoing conversation, and these longer-term relationships are much more valuable to brand loyalty than a one-time experience," said Jamie Auslander, director of research for SocialVibe.
4. Connections have to be carefully preserved: The study found that 37 percent of consumers who build these online social connections with brands also terminate them by un-liking, un-following, etc.
"Brands need to be mindful that connections can be both powerful and disruptive to the social experience," said Tiffany Leslie, director of marketing communications for SocialVibe. "They need to carefully determine the balance between driving loyalty and overwhelming their advocates."
One-third of consumers who disconnected from brands did so because they were receiving too many updates.
"With 22 percent of consumers indicating that they did not see the value in staying connected, brands have to reinforce why consumers should remain connected with them rather than simply repeating the 'Like us on Facebook' mantra," Leslie said.
