For concreteness, let's consider a (classic) coordination example: The 'bridge' problem. We have four soldiers on the left (unsafe) side of the bridge. They'd like to cross the bridge to get to the right (safe) side. The problem is it's at night and they need a torch to cross the bridge. The torch can carry a maximum of two soliders. We assume that the torch always carries two soliders from right to left and only solider goes back (left to right).
In Join, we can specify/model this problem as follows. We introduce synchronous methods 'take', 'release' and 'takeBack' to model the actions. We introduce asynchronous methods 'free', 'one', 'two', 'oneLeft', 'rightSide' and 'oneFrom' to represent the states of the torch and 'unsafe(i)', 'towards(i)', 'safe(i)' and 'back(i)' to represent the states of soldier i. Their meaning will become clear once see the join-patterns describing the interaction between torch and soldiers.
The behavior of the torch is specified via the following join-patterns (using Haskell-style syntax).
free = do take
one = do take
two = do release
oneLeft = do release
rightSide = do takeBack
oneFrom = do release
Of course, we could have unfolded the above definitions into the following (and thus omitting the intermediate states)
free = do take
This makes it even clearer that the torch waits for two soldiers to grab the torch. Then, the torch (with the soldiers) crosses the bridge (this is implicit). The torch releases both soliders and the torch will take back a soldier and release this soldier on the unsafe side again. The more verbose representation (using the intermediate states) will be useful later when discussing the connection to communicating FAs.
We yet need to model the behavior of solider(i). We finally make use of some multi-headed join-patterns.
unsafe(i) & take = towards(i)
towards(i) & release = safe(i)
safe(i) & takeBack = back(i)
back(i) & release = unsafe(i)
For example, the first join-pattern above says that if solider i is in the unsafe state and we can take the torch, then we unblock the caller of take (remember that take is synchronous) and we issue a new asynchronous method call towards(i). The semantics of join-pattern is actually fairly simply. In essence, multi-set rewriting where the methods are treated as resources. The multisetrewrite library introduced in a previous post, can easily encode join-patterns (and even more, eg guards etc).
I will release some runnable code at some later stage.
The point of this exercise is not to show what can be done with Join, rather, we want to establish some connections to communicating FAs. So, what's the connection? In Join, a join-pattern is triggered (aka executed) if we can match the pattern head with the specified method calls. In communicating FAs, two automatas 'communicate' if we find matching send (!) and receive (?) transitions.
p --- a! --> q r --- a? --> t
(p,r) --- a --> (q,t)
Each component of the tuple corresponds to the states of a communicating FA (CFA). If one CFA has a send edge (a!) which matches the receiving edge (a?) of another CFA, then we make a transition along those edges as shown in the above diagram. This smells similar to Join, right? Indeed, in Join we can represent
p --- a! --> q
p = do a
p --- a? --> q
p & a = q
The states are turned into asynchronous method calls and the actions 'a' are turned into synchronous method calls.
In fact, the Join program shown above was derived from the following CFAs
using this translation scheme.
The torch CFA:

The soldier CFA:
Soldier 3

It's also possible to systematically translate Join programs to CFAs but it's getting more tedious to work out the details. Both languages are equally expressive. However, (I claim) Join allows us to specify more complex coordination patterns more easily than CFAs (therefore the transformation to CFAs gets quite involved). The advantages of having a Join representation of CFAs is that we know how to efficiently execute Join programs (eg see the multisetrewrite library which exploits join-style concurrency by executing non-overlapping join-patterns in parallel). On the other hand, a CFA representation of Join allows to make use of UPPAAL's expressive query language and its model checking facilities. For example, via the query
E<> safe(1) and safe(2) and safe(3) and safe(4)
we can check if (assuming we have four soldiers) it's possible for all four soldiers to reach the safe side. E says there exists a trace and <> says there exists a state.
We can also check if the system does not deadlock
A[] not deadlock
This property is not satisfied for the following reason. In case all four soldiers are on the safe side and one solider makes its way back to the unsafe side, the soldier gets to the unsafe side but won't be able to get back to the safe side. Remember that in our torch model, we require two soldiers per torch. For this example at least, the deadlock property doesn't say much. We only know that the program will terminate (possibly in some undesired state).
UPPAAL's query language is a subset of CTL btw. This implies that we canNOT verify (very compliated) queries such as "are the join-patterns confluent". Confluence requires to quantify over traces, then over states and then again over traces which is beyond CTL (for good reasons because it gets way too complex to check such properties).
Anyway, the connection between Join and CFAs is quite useful. This way I became a much better UPPAAL user. First write your program in Join and then convert to CFAs. I will write more about this connection at some later stage.

Sound not bad, durability is an issue
The headphones sound good and worked well with my iPhone, iPad, and Windows-based computer used for work and conference calls through the computers. However, after around the year mark the wiring around the inline volume control has loosened. The volume now goes down without touching anything when the wire moves even slightly. The inline volume control doesn't work in those cases and I end up fighting with the volume automatically changing as I raise it using the phone. Disappointed that at this price point I need to replace them after a year. Except for the durability issue these were pretty good.
Pros: Sound is decent, good fit, sound reduction is good
Cons: Durability

Four people were very busy in the kitchen this afternoon. Each decided to make fresh cookies to go with dinner and so set right to work, mixing up the cookies from scratch. Unfortunately, each ran out of a major ingredient before the batch was finished and had to make an emergency run to the grocery store. Determine the full name of each cook, what ingredient each ran out of, and what kind of cookies each made.
1. The one who made the sugar cookies didn't run out of sugar. Cindy didn't run out eggs.
2. The chocolate chip cookies weren't made by Greg. Sara's last name wasn't Fohl. Peter ran out of sugar.
3. The person who made the oatmeal raisin cookies ran out of eggs. Mr. Smith didn't make the peanut butter cookies.
4. Ms. Bentley didn't run out of flour. The person who ran out of butter didn't make the peanut butter cookies.
5. The chocolate chip cookies, which didn't need more butter, were not made by the person whose last name was Fohl.
6. Greg White, who didn't run out of butter, didn't make the peanut butter cookies.

When Gina Larzalere decided to open a hair salon in Marshdale, she was looking for a name that would encompass how people feel in the shop.
She settled on "relax."
The Relax Salon and Color Studio opened in early October at 6941 Highway 73 in the space vacated by Stefano's Bakery and Deli. It's decorated in what Larzalere calls a modern Southwestern style. She very concerned with how people feel when they are in the salon, so she plays a relaxing, eclectic mix of music and burns scented candles.

text: CES 2005 - Olympus introduces Camedia C-5500/C-55 Zoom Olympus introduces Camedia C-5500/C-55 Zoom With the release of the C-5500 Sport Zoom/C-55 Zoom, Olympus delivers high-end features and functions in a camera that's approachable enough for the everyday digital photographer. The C-5500/C-55 embodies a wealth of features including a 5.1- Megapixel CCD, a large 2-inch LCD, world-class optics, and an inspiring array of manual and automatic functions for straight out-of-the-box operation. The combination of advanced features and intuitive operation enables users of all skill levels to achieve their precise creative goals. The C-5500 Sport Zoom/C-55 Zoom gives users that extra bit of manual control for capturing perfect snapshots along with the power to create award-winning digital masterpieces. "Like other Olympus C-Series digital cameras, the C-5500 Sport Zoom/C-55 Zoom combines a high degree of manual control with automatic easy-to-use functions. The powerful 5x sports zoom, combined with a high-resolution 5.1-megapixel CCD, enables users to get right up close to the action," said Glenn Schwartz, product manager, Olympus Imaging America Inc. "The Olympus C-5500 Sport Zoom/C-55 Zoom makes powerful digital photography accessible to the everyday user. It's the perfect camera for someone new to digital photography that wants an easy- to-use camera with advanced features they'll appreciate as their skills develop." Designed to Do More The C-5500 Sport Zoom/C-55 Zoom features a 5x optical zoom lens (f2.8/f4.8 - f8.0, 38mm - 190mm equivalent) designed to maximize the imaging potential of its high-definition 5.1- megapixel CCD sensor. The 5x optical zoom lens seamlessly combines with 4x digital zoom to achieve up to 20x total zoom capability for capturing distant subjects without sacrificing image clarity in the final result. For close-up photographs with intricate detail, the Super Macro mode enables shooting from as close as 0.8", filling the frame with dramatic detail and extremely shallow depth-of-field. Olympus' exclusive TruePic TURBO Image Processor suppresses noise and boosts image definition to deliver sharper, clearer images with excellent color definition. The fast startup of less than one second and nearly instant shutter release time ensure high-speed response, so you can capture precisely the image you set your eyes on. A burst mode of 2.7 frames-per-second makes this camera ideal for capturing fast-paced action. The C-5500 Sport Zoom/C-55 Zoom also features a new "anti-shake" function for enhanced stability when shooting QuickTime Movies of television-quality 30 frames-per-second with sound. Delivering Style: The body of the C-5500 Sport Zoom/C-55 Zoom is designed to be compact while offering a high degree of functional operating ease. Measuring just 4.9" W x 3.3" H x 3.9" D and weighing 8.6 ounces, the C-5500 is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably your hand for long photo sessions. Intelligent Design for High Performance: Incorporating all-glass lens elements, which include three high-index lenses and two lens elements that are aspherical on both sides, the camera's compact "multi-variator" lens unit delivers low distortion and reduced chromatic aberration. Professional SLR-type manual features are included to satisfy advanced users' artistic needs. For example, using the Autofocus (AF) Target Selection function, users can choose from 143 AF target zones to focus on virtually any area of their composition without reframing the shot. The C-5500 Sport Zoom/C-55 Zoom also features a manual focusing mode, giving users full control over the accuracy of their focal range. The large, bright and viewable 2-inch LCD monitor with 115,000 pixels of resolution provides easy viewing when composing or reviewing images. This large monitor comes in handy when using the camera's Direct Histogram function that provides real-time access to exposure information so users can confirm exposure before snapping the picture. A histogram displayed on the LCD with red and blue highlighting to indicate over- and under-exposed areas makes detection of overly white and blacked-out areas simple. Designed with More Features For More Excitement: The C-5500 Sport Zoom/C-55 Zoom includes a Calendar function, which enables users to organize photos according to the date they were taken, find them easily, and display them on the LCD monitor. And a Slideshow function makes reviewing photos with friends fun and effortless, complete with slide transitions such as Slide, Fade, and Zoom. Designed for You: Getting started with the C-5500/C-55 is as easy as popping in the batteries and turning it on. And once it's on, everyday users will appreciate that the C-5500/C-55 includes a full range of basic photography functions. With the Full Auto mode, even beginners can take perfect photos without worrying about complex settings. More experienced digital photographers will appreciate being able to have control over basic settings such as exposure, aperture and shutter speed with the Program Auto, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual Exposure modes. For taking quick and precise photos in a range of different lighting situations - such as at night, in candlelight, at the beach, or at sporting events - with optimal aperture, shutter speed, white balance, color saturation and flash setting, users can select from 15 fully automatic shooting modes. Users can also create up to four My Mode settings for additional customization through self-defined combinations of white balance, sharpness, contrast and other settings in an easy-to-view histogram function. Connecting the C-5500 Sport Zoom/C-55 Zoom to a computer is easy with the USB Auto Connect feature, which connects directly via USB 2.0 cable and requires no software. Or, if you prefer, forget the computer altogether. The power of PictBridge technology enables photos to be printed directly from the camera with any PictBridge-enabled printer, such as the Olympus P-10 Digital Photo Printer, without using a computer. Printing and sharing images is more convenient than ever, and the P-10's photo lab-quality dye-sublimation printing produces archival-quality prints in rich color. Olympus Master software provides the ultimate in digital imaging management. An intuitive user interface makes downloading to your computer quick and simple, and images are searchable by date or keyword in the Calendar View. And with one-click editing tools, such as red-eye reduction, images can be touched up before printing or emailing. Online support, templates, firmware upgrades and other user services are just a mouse-click away. Availability: The C-5500/C-55 Zoom will be available beginning February 2005. It includes a 16MB xD-Picture Card, four long-life AA batteries, an Auto-Connect USB 2.0 cable, Audio/Video Out cable, wrist strap, OLYMPUS Master Software, user manual and Quick Start Guide.

Here's another delicious scone. These came out extra-good, for a three reasons:
1) I used white whole-wheat flour (King Arthur brand; organic). I usually choose whole wheat pastry flour for scones, but decided to change it up because I like white ww in quick breads and because I needed to use it. I'm convinced it has a slightly sweet flavor that worked particularly well here. It doesn't taste "wheaty" and the texture is similar to what you'd get with white or ww pastry flour.
2) I used the tastiest pistachio flavoring oil and the "right" (for me) amount of butter. The pistachio flavor in the scone was so nice (it has a similar depth and intensity to almond extract). I also used food coloring to get a green tint, which didn't show up well in the pictures. This is just a visual element, but I'm a fan of it. I don't make excessively buttery scones and considered skimping, but 8 Tbs was the perfect amount in this recipe for a good texture.
3) Icing. If you're in doubt, make a simple glaze and any quick bread gets that much better. Enjoy!
This is the size you'll get if you cut 12 scones according to the recipe directions. In this batch, I also made the icing extra green.
These scones are skinnier because I didn't divide the dough into 2 circles in this batch.
You can substitute 3/4 tsp almond extract for the pistachio oil. I adapted this recipe from these Lemon-Currant Scones, which originally came from Sunset magazine. You can use either gel or liquid food coloring. I needed quite a lot of gel, and kept adding until I liked the color (see recipe for more info). When I used liquid, 1 tsp gave me a very green scone (cute if it's for St. Patrick's Day). If you want color that looks more like the pictures above, try 1/2 tsp.
Makes 12 medium scones
2 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour (300 grams)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup buttermilk, plus 1 to 2 Tbs as needed
1 large egg
1 tsp pistachio flavoring oil
Green gel food coloring as needed or 1/2 to 1 tsp liquid food coloring
8 Tbs unsalted butter, cut into small chunks and chilled
1/2 cup dried cranberries (78 grams)
1/2 cup toasted shelled pistachios, chopped (2 oz)
2 cups (approx.) powdered sugar (120 g)
Milk or water as needed
Green gel food coloring
Scant 1/4 tsp pistachio flavoring oil
Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In glass measuring cup (or small bowl), whisk together the buttermilk, egg and pistachio oil. Add enough gel coloring to turn the mixture dark green (not as dark as "forest green," but going in that direction).
Add butter to flour mixture and incorporate with a pastry blender or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal with some larger, shaggy chunks. Add green liquid mixture and stir gently; allow mixture to rest and hydrate for 3 to 5 minutes. This step helps minimize stirring. Now, stir just until dry ingredients are moist. Stir in cranberries and pistachios. If you have excess crumbs at the bottom of the bowl, drizzle in 1/2 to 1 Tbs buttermilk to incorporate them (you may not need any at all).
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and quickly knead together. Divide in half and pat each half into a thick disk. With a floured rolling pin, roll out each disk about 3/4 to 1-inch-thick circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and bake 13 to 15 minutes, or until bottoms are golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and enough milk (about 2 Tbs) to form a thick glaze that you can drizzle off a spoon. Add gel coloring to achieve desired tone and pistachio oil for desired intensity of flavor (a little goes far). Spread over scones and let set.

Dharma! I'm going to have fun putting together a custom prize package for her, she is a fellow graduate student and used to live in Northampton. She correctly guessed the # and name of the sweaters that I would finish by my deadline (which I unscrupulously extended to include this weekend)!! Until the weather clears up and the sweaters dry, the promised runway show is on hold. You'll have to be content with this, the remnants of the FOs:
Clockwise from the top these represent the Hudson Hoodie (which ended up hoodless), T-Storms, Blood Orange cardigan and the Tilted Duster. Technically I also finished Thermal…and by finished I mean chucked it into the wastebasket! That pattern is too cute to knit in such a droopy, pill-tastic yarn.
I learned a lot from this endeavor! I learned that, like Grumperina, I don't think I'm a sweater knitter! It could be the deadline that was making it unpleasant but as I worked on these long abandoned projects I realized that I almost never wear the sweaters I've knit. I actually sort of hate them. There are always little flaws that bug me. I'm not a fashionista or even all that well put together but I'm insanely particular about fabrics and the way things fit. If an outfit is itching, sagging, riding up or doing anything weird it will ruin my day. Most of my hand-knit sweaters are imperfect, and I'm fine with that but I don't know how sensible it is to keep making things I'm not going to wear.
Of course, last I checked I had enough stashed yarn to make…50 sweaters. It sounds crazy and inflated but it's true and probably a low ball estimate as well. UGH. My plan of attack for the time being is to finish Treeline, Enid and Forecast. Then I want to emulate Siri and knit up my equally insane sock yarn stash. Socks get worn.
So do hats! Jenny and Nicole were reading my mind last week with their excellent episode on my absolute favorite thing to knit. Gudrun was as well, check out her adorable Unst. Julie at Team Knit has got me plotting a Brownie's beanie redux! Hat love never dies around here.
Spinning is also kicking lots of ass. Jenna stopped by on Saturday with her wheel and it quickly turned into a night of spinning Q&A, chocolate munching and raspberry wine swigging (it was made by a Webs co-worker). Somehow, we ended up wearing a batt and a flyer.
I'm not as drunk as I look, I promise.
The same Cormo I spun and plied on the drop spindle was given the same treatment on the wheel:
I like!
I'm currently waiting for two packages from Spunky Eclectic, a lazy Kate and some assorted stuff to try (I'm especially excited about this, which I purchased in Night Flower). Hot damn, it's fun to buy fiber. Speaking of Amy, I finished the Girl Power shawl. And two dog sweaters. Wow, it was a busy November.
Finished object runway show in the very near future,

Frontline "Two American Families" Bill Moyers and producers Tom Casciato and Kathleen Hughes first documented the lives of the Stanleys and the Neumanns, of Milwaukee, in the early 1990s. The project began when the breadwinners of each family, one African-American, one white, were laid off from well-paying factory jobs. This is the fourth film to document how the two families have persevered in the changing economy.G

Atheist Nexus may be small, but it's far safer than Facebook or Reddit for adolescent girls.
... Facebook's famously blind eye to pages that intimidate and exploit underage girls, notably the "12-Year-Old Slut Memes" page ...
I think it has a whole lot to do with just how deeply engrained the hatred of women is in our culture.
... there is a strong and vocal community of little creeps who are simultaneously aroused and hateful and scared to death of everything that a young girl represents. Who look at her and feel so bad about their own pathetic selves they want nothing more than to tear her down and make her feel ever worse about herself.
... stay brave and autonomous and bullyproof and be their worst nightmare. Because they're been trying to be yours for way too long.

I've heard of this.
The double-paradox of "be sexy for us"
"but don't be sexy for us".
Is fucking enraging. You're damned if you do, damned if you don't--literally--I get shit for not being "sexy enough" on a regular basis from random assholes on okcupid, while I've seen plenty of other fat girls my size called 'whores' for daring to have larger boobs and not cover them up constantly.
I don't get society. Society seems like a teenage boy who's more concerned with moving the goalposts constantly than being helpful or interesting.
Maybe this is off-topic, but this still smells to me like a variation on the Madonna - whore model, combined with the fact that sex sells damned near EVERYTHING and the supposed built-in enticement of a girl on the cusp of puberty.
A LONG time ago (well over 30 years), I remember seeing an article regarding this, coupled with an example: an ad featuring a young girl (10-12 years old, I THINK), posed as sensually as was possible for a photographer, with a caption something to the effect of the HUGE sales potential represented by said picture. I shook my head and groaned back then, yet that mindset is not only still with us, it has done nothing but grow in the intervening three decades.
What you do about this, short of government regulation of the advertising business, I don't know. Believe me when I say, Brutsch has his like on Madison Avenue ... plenty of 'em, in fact, and while they may not be the genesis of this attitude, they sure as hell don't help matters.
Yes, Loren I know what you are talking about. All those young child models posing in sexy poses to sell things. Don't get me started on the child pageants they have. Yuck.
Never mind Tots and Tiaras ... phenomenal!
That is such terrible news - reading the article now.

In the science world, if there is an overwhelming complaint about the media, it is that journalists tend to be too "balanced"–in other words, they give roughly 50-50 time to opposing viewpoints even when one side lacks credibility, as in the creationism-evolution battle.
In 2004 in Columbia Journalism Review, I did a major article critiquing this problem in science coverage–an article that I guess a lot of people read and liked, since it is still mentioned to me regularly. Recently, in fact, John Fleck emailed to ask why it wasn't available online–and I decided to do something about that.
So here it is, "Blinded by Science," a kind of classic critique of "phony balance" in science coverage:
BLINDED BY SCIENCE: How 'Balanced' Coverage Lets the Scientific Fringe Hijack Reality
Columbia Journalism Review, Nov/Dec2004, Vol. 43, Issue 4
On May 22, 2003, the Los Angeles Times printed a front-page story by Scott Gold, its respected Houston bureau chief, about the passage of a law in Texas requiring abortion doctors to warn women that the procedure might cause breast cancer. Virtually no mainstream scientist believes that the so-called ABC link actually exists — only anti-abortion activists do. Accordingly, Gold's article noted right off the bat that the American Cancer Society discounts the "alleged link" and that anti-abortionists have pushed for "so-called counseling" laws only after failing in their attempts to have abortion banned. Gold also reported that the National Cancer Institute had convened "more than a hundred of the world's experts" to assess the ABC theory, which they rejected. In comparison to these scientists, Gold noted, the author of the Texas counseling bill — who called the ABC issue "still disputed" — had "a professional background in property management."
Gold's piece was hard-hitting but accurate. The scientific consensus is quite firm that abortion does not cause breast cancer. If reporters want to take science and its conclusions seriously, their reporting should reflect this reality — no matter what antiabortionists say.
But what happened next illustrates one reason journalists have such a hard time calling it like they see it on science issues. Read More

The Wake County school system filed court documents Tuesday to recover more than $1 million in bail money that it charges should have been turned over to the courts and ultimately the district.
The filings stem from a criminal investigation that has resulted in the indictments of two former county clerks and two bail agents who are charged with altering records so that the bail agents didn't have to pay for clients who failed to appear for court dates.
The school district filed 316 motions, one for each case in which it says bail money was not turned over. Rod Malone, an attorney for the school system, said the motions detail the loss of $1,012,600 in bond money, with more motions to come in other cases where bond money should have been turned over.
Motions were filed in Wake County Superior Court and District Court against 13 insurance companies and four professional bondsmen. In addition to recovering the $1 million, school officials are seeking 8 percent interest and monetary sanctions against the bail agents and the insurance companies.

"The insurance companies are the sureties," Malone said. "They're ultimately responsible for the bond money."
In February, a Wake County grand jury issued indictments against James L. Perkins and Kenneth Vernon Golder II, the bond agents, and Kelvin Lawrence Ballentine and Latoya Tanisha Barnes, the former clerks. All four were charged with obtaining property by false pretenses, accessing a government computer and altering court records.
The indictments followed a six-month inquiry by the State Bureau of Investigation.
Investigators contend that Perkins and Golder worked with Ballentine and Barnes to alter records in numerous bond forfeiture proceedings that would save the bail agents hundreds of thousands of dollars during five years.
People who are arrested or jailed often have to post a bail bond to get out of jail before their trial. Bail can range from hundreds to thousands to occasionally millions of dollars. With many people unable to post the bail themselves, bondsmen will bail a defendant out of jail for a nonrefundable fee. If the accused does not show up for court and has no legitimate reason for missing a hearing or trial, the bondsman forfeits the full bail amount.
Under North Carolina law, the money accrued from bond forfeitures are to go to the public schools in the court's jurisdiction.
When forfeitures occur, bondsmen seeking to set aside the forfeiture have to notify the school system and the district attorney to give them a chance to object.
School officials contend that in 316 cases from 2008 to 2013, Ballentine entered information in the clerk's computer system indicating that a motion to set aside had been filed without notices being served to the school system or the district attorney. When neither party objected, the motions were electronically granted by the clerk's computer system.
"The scheme defrauded the school system of money that would otherwise have been available for its students," the school district said in a written statement.
The motions seek to invalidate all those orders setting aside the bond forfeitures.
Malone said the school district is still reviewing the cases handled by Barnes, which involved significantly less bond money, he said.
The SBI inquiry was prompted by a tip that Lorrin Freeman, the Wake County clerk of court, received in the summer of 2013.
She looked into the allegations and noticed irregularities between computer court records and paper documents. She flagged them to then-Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby, who sent a letter to the SBI in August asking for a probe.

i'm diabetic,how much carbohydrates i need per day.is carrots juice is not suitable for have thyroid problems?
The amount of carbohydrate you need per day will depend on a number of factors including your calorie requirements, blood sugar control, medications etc. You should consult a registered dietitian or certified diabetes educator who can help you with meal planning. A registered dietitian can be found at www.eatright.org, or your physician or local hospital may be able to recommend someone.
Drinking carrot juice is not a problem for people with thyroid problems. However, it does contain carbohydrate and should be considered when planning meals for diabetes.

I'm trying to stay awat from the sailing blogs, but our marooning that took place last night is a bit interesting.
A short day sail yesterday turned into an overnight as we're marooned on Angel Island due to gale force winds we'd have to go through on the way home. We checked the wind every hour to only find the winds increasing and staying hectic until 1am... So we cracked our last bit of booze, ate what little food we had left, slept where we aren't allowed and then shoved off at 6am this morning... Me sleepy.
We got out to the boat early yesterday in hopes of getting out into the ocean.
Our first taste of the weather that would trap us on an island in the middle of the San Francisco Bay.
Love the fog horns at the Golden Gate when it's really foggy.
And finally to Angel Island for what we thought would be a couple hours...
Our first view of the point (Blunt) we'd have to pass on our way back home... It was scary windy and we've sailing in 40 Knots (46 mph) before... 40 knots is a "Fresh gale" and can take your mast down.
The hikes on the Island are worth a trip... They are ferries that come out there daily.
And in the evening after the last ferry leaves tame deer come out to feed on tourist's snacks... You can walk right up to them.
Checking the weather before heading back...
And then the average's increased to like 36... ugh.
Looks like we're crashing at the dock.
Not a bad place to be stuck.
Woke up at 5:45am after a somewhat rough sleep.
And we're out... Man, I wished I had a cup of coffee right then.
Back behind Treasure Island... Almost home.
Nice hair, goofy boy.

[The following profile is part of a series on long-term unemployment in America.]
John Schmidt has been out of work for 150 weeks. Due to complications regarding his official date of termination, he is still eligible for weekly checks from the government.
"It's absolutely retarded, but I'm not going to turn it down."
Schmidt has been unemployed since April, 2009 when he lost his job as a database architect at JC Penney.
Fired for health reasons, Schmidt says he wanted to sue but no lawyers in the Dallas area would go against the local corporation.
In his first year of unemployment, Schmidt spent most of his time day trading.
"In all honesty I wasn't looking real seriously. I got started in the stock market and was doing well with it, got rolling more and a little more and really that's what I did for most of the first year. At the same time, I was still looking for a job, meeting the requirements for unemployment. But I wasn't looking all over the country. I was looking for the perfect job."
Schmidt's luck ran out around August 2010.
First his Countrywide mortgage was transferred to Bank of America, and a billing fiasco forced him to take money out of his trading account. Then he started losing money on the market. In less than a year, the bank had foreclosed on his house and Schmidt was forced to declare bankruptcy.
When Schmidt began to look seriously for jobs he was surprised at his difficulty.
"I'm one of the original people [in Hyperion Essbase software]. I never even thought about not getting a job. If I wanted a job I got it, period, for ten years," Schmidt says.
"Now I apply and I go on interviews and they say 'you're overqualified for this job' ... or they say 'you haven't done anything for the past two years.' I was blown away and amazed at how difficult it is for me to get a job. If you told me a year after getting laid off I would still be unemployed I would have said you're nuts. Three years after is absolutely insane."
Despite his own difficulties, Schmidt has little respect for the long-term unemployed who live off of government checks: "No wonder people aren't getting jobs, they have no motivation."

The Paleo Diet is a great way to rewire your mind about nutrition and eating. It allows you to still eat all the foods you love but with natural ingredients. Say good bye to overly processed food, and hello to a healthier you.
The Paleo Diet is an effort to eat like we used to back in the day…WAY back in the day. If a caveman couldn't eat it, neither can you.
This means anything we could hunt or find – meats, fish, nuts, leafy greens, regional veggies, and seeds. Sorry, the pasta, cereal, and candy will have to go! Instead, you'll be making things like Primal scotch eggs.
You see, I hate counting calories.
I don't like keeping track of how much I've eaten or obsessing over how many grams of a particular nutrient I've had. Not only do I hate counting calories, but I know that calories are really only half of the battle, as they're not all created equal – 400 calories of Doritos do NOT affect your body in the same way as 400 calories of high-quality vegetables and protein.
Fortunately, if you can expand your horizons and remove certain types of food from your diet, you can stop worrying about counting calories FOREVER
So how does the Paleo Diet work?
Oh lord, another "diet." I know, it sounds like a fad/marketing ploy, but it's actually quite legit. You see, tens of thousands of years ago, before Nike, Cap'n Crunch, and Healthy Choice meals, our ancient ancestors thrived as hunter-gatherers. Although it's been a really long time, our genetics haven't changed that much since then.
The average Homo Sapien back then: tall, muscular, agile, athletic, and incredibly versatile.
The average Homo Sapien now: overweight, out of shape, stressed out, unhappy, sleep deprived and dying from a myriad of preventable diseases.
So what the hell happened? Agriculture! A few thousand years ago humans discovered farming, the agricultural revolution took off, and we advanced from hunter-gatherers to farmers. We settled down, formed societies, and the human race progressed to what we are today.
The problem is, our bodies never adjusted properly to eating all the grains that we we're now farming. As Robb Wolf puts it, think of a 100-yard football field. The first 99.5 yards are how long Homo-Sapiens spent as hunter-gatherers. As they became REALLY good at hunting and gathering our bodies adapted to that lifestyle over thousands of years. That last half-yard represents our species after the agricultural revolution, where our diet has shifted (but our genetics haven't).
So, instead of loading up on meat, vegetables and seasonal fruits, we've become a species "dependent" upon grains – bread, pasta, rice, corn, and so on. The government continues to recommend 6-11 servings of grains a day, and people continue to get fatter and fatter by the day.
66% of us are overweight, 33% are considered obese, and those numbers are only getting worse.
Clearly something's not right. The Paleo Diet is an effort to go back to eating how we're biologically designed to eat, allowing us to tap into our genetic potential and start living healthier immediately.
What is the Paleo Diet?
Back in the day, grains weren't part of our diet.
As Mark from Mark's Daily Apple points out in his "definitive guide to grains" article: grains cause kind of a funky response in our system. Grains are composed of carbohydrates, and those carbs are turned into glucose (a type of sugar) in our system to be used for energy and various other tasks to help our body function – any glucose that isn't used as energy is stored as fat.
Next, most grains contain gluten and lectins. What are they and what's wrong with them? I'm so glad you asked:
- Gluten is a protein found in things like rye, wheat, and barley. It's now being said that much of our population may be gluten-intolerant (hence all the new "gluten-free!" items popping up everywhere). Over time, those who are gluten intolerant can develop a dismal array of medical conditions from consuming gluten: dermatitis, joint pain, reproductive problems, acid reflux, and more.
- Lectins are natural toxins exist within grains to defend against consumption! Yup. Grains have evolved to keep themselves from being eaten by us. These lectins are not a fan of our gastrointestinal tract, prevent the tract from repairing itself from normal wear and tear. This can cause all kinds of damage.
As Mark so eloquently puts it in his article: grains are unhealthy at best, or flat-out dangerous at worst.
The Paleo Diet also almost completely eradicates sugar. Unless you're getting your sugar from a fruit, forget it. Sugar causes an energy spike and crash in your system, turns to fat unless it's used immediately, and wreaks all kind of havoc on our bodies.
So, no grains, no sugar, no processed foods. Many studies have shown that an incredible number of diseases and lifestyle issues can be reversed with these three simple changes. Take a look at this time magazine article on cancer patients who switched to a zero-sugar diet and saw positive results.
But where's my energy?
So, if we're not eating 300+ grams of carbs every day, where are we supposed to get our energy from?
Our bodies are designed to operate on a lower amount of carbohydrates than what we're used to eating, so less carbs isn't an issue. When there is an absence of carbs (which is how we're USED to operating), our body will take stored fat and burn THAT for energy in a process calledketogenesis.
What I'm trying to tell you is that our bodies are pretty effin' efficient.
So, less carbs = less glucose in your system, which means your body will have to start burning fat as your fuel source. Win!
So all carbs are bad?
Nope. Carbs still serve a purpose in our diets, but they're not essential (check out the Inuit Paradox for a great read on societies that exist without almost any carbohydrates). I prefer to get my carbs from vegetables, sweet potatoes, and fruit. Why is that? These foods are naturally occurring in the wild and don't need to be processed in any way (unlike grains) in order to be consumed.
The other great thing about vegetables is that you can eat as many of them as you like and you'll never get fat. They're incredibly nutrient dense and calorie light – six servings of broccoli (and who would eat 6 servings at once?) has 180 calories and only 36 grams of carbs. A single serving of pasta (and NOBODY eats just one serving of pasta) has 200 calories and 42 grams of carbs.
What about dairy?
Dairy's a tough one, as most Paleo folks tend to stay away from it – a portion of the world is lactose intolerant, and those that aren't usually have at least some type of an aversion to it. Why is that? Because no other animal in the entire kingdom drinks milk beyond infancy. Hunter-gatherers didn't lug cows around with them while traveling – milk was consumed as a baby, and that was it. As with grains, our bodies weren't designed for massive dairy consumption.
Here's a great read on the benefits/criticisms of dairy.
Personally, I'm split on dairy, as I can drink whole milk without any sort of issue and I consider adding it back into my diet when I need to get enough calories to bulk up.
So no grains, no dairy: what DO I get to eat on this diet?
Okay, so if we cut out the grains, almost all processed foods, and dairy, you're left with only things that occur naturally:
- Meat – GRASS-FED, not grain-fed. Grain causes the same problem in animals as they do in humans.
- Fowl – Chicken, duck, hen, turkey…things with wings that (try to) fly.
- Fish – Wild fish, as mercury and other toxins can be an issue in farmed fish
- Eggs – Look for Omega-3 enriched eggs.
- Vegetables – As long as they're not deep-fried, eat as many as you want.
- Oils – Olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil – think natural.
- Fruits – Have natural sugar, and can be higher in calories, so limit if you're trying to lose weight.
- Nuts – High in calories, so they're good for a snack, but don't eat bags and bags of them.
- Tubers – Sweet potatoes and yams. Higher in calories and carbs, so these are good for right after a workout to replenish your glycogen levels.
Steak with asparagus and sweet potato fries, grilled chicken salad, massive omelets that will fill you up for the whole morning, apples dipped in almond butter (my favorite snack ever), and so on. Pick any of the things from that list, and eat as much as you want of them (with the noted exceptions). You'll feel better and be healthier.
How come I won't get fat?
Because these foods are so nutritious and filling, it's almost impossible to overeat.
To get the equal number of calories from a bag of Doritos or bread (which, as you know, you can eat all day long and never really feel full), you'd have to eat 2-3 Mack trucks full of broccoli and spinach. Okay, that's clearly an over-exaggeration, but you get the point. A GIANT plate of vegetables and a reasonable portion of meat can keep you full for hours, while eating carb-heavy foods can result in being hungry again soon after.
Whenever I need to lose weight for vacation, I go 100% Paleo and I can drop a few body fat percentage points in a few weeks (while combining it with strength training and interval running).
But I can't give up my muffin/pasta/bagel/pizza/bread!
Okay then, don't try the Paleo Diet! Simple as that.
If you're happy with how you look, your energy levels are good all day, and you don't see any room for improvement, then keep doing what you're doing – I won't force you to eat like this. However, if you've been struggling with weight loss, have no energy throughout the day, need eight cups of coffee, hate counting calories, and want to start turning your life around today, why not give it a shot for 30 days?
TRY IT: If after 30 days you haven't noticed a marked improvement in your quest for a better life, then go back to the donuts. It's important to give yourself a full 30 days before passing judgment. Your body has to adjust from fueling itself on carbs and sugar to burning your stored fat for energy, which can take a few weeks.
If you're not willing to cut out grains from your diet completely, just work on MINIMIZING those foods gradually and see how your body adjusts. Slow transitions are often much easier to handle over the long-term; the more you can shift your diet closer to Paleo principles, the faster you'll start to see results.
How much should I eat of each nutrient?
Keep it simple: Try to get a really good protein source with each meal (eggs, steak, chicken, fish, pork) with each meal along with some vegetables or fruit. That's it. If you're having trouble getting enough calories daily, add some healthy fats to the equation: avocado, a handful of almonds or walnuts, almond butter, olive oil, etc.
Now, fruit does have quite a bit of sugar in it, and nuts have quite a few calories…so if you are following the Paleo Diet but not losing weight, check your fruit and nut consumption and see if you are loading up on those at the expense of vegetables and healthy protein.
What I'm trying to say is this: fat should make up a big percentage of your diet.
Baaaaack up: I thought fat made you fat?
Pooooooor fat. It's gotten a bad rap over the past number of decades, so companies have been doing everything possible to make everything low fat and "healthy!" (while adding all sorts of preservatives, chemicals, and sugar). Yup…cut out the fat, increase the carbs….and look where THAT has gotten us.
Why has fat been vilified? Rather than get into the politics of it myself, I'll let Gary Taubes, author of the incredibly thorough and well-researched Good Calories, Bad Calories take over. Here's an article he wrote for the New York Times a decade ago: What if its all Been a Big Fat Lie? Take the 15 minutes to read that article – it could radically redefine your thinking on fat and carbohydrates.
So, feel free to eat healthy fats, and stop buying 'low fat' garbage.
Do I need to eat every 3 hours?
Nope. Eat when you're hungry, don't eat when you're not. Going again back to our evolutionary history, we didn't always have the luxury of going to a vending machine or drive-through window to pick up food. Sometimes we'd go all day long, or even days at a time, without finding any food. Luckily, we're designed to use our excess fat stores as energy in these situations.
Don't worry about eating every three hours.
Sometimes, it's even okay to skip a meal or two, as long as you don't go berserk and eat 7 pizzas because you're so hungry afterward.
This type of eating is generally referred to as Intermittent Fasting.
What are the criticisms of this diet?
The main criticism that I continue to come across is that it's "fear mongering" and vilifying grains in the same way that fats have been vilified.
If you really want to drive yourself mad, go spend 30 minutes reading the comments on Tim Ferriss and Robb Wolf's highly entertaining article about the Paleo Diet – it's a bunch of dietitians yelling back and forth at each other citing different studies and sources and then calling each other wackjobs.
If you're not careful, this type of diet can get expensive. But as we know, with a little research, we can make eating healthy incredibly affordable. Admittedly, while I recommend eating organic fruits and veggies, free range chicken, and grass-fed beef, these products can be a bit more expensive in conventional stores due to the processes needed to get them there.
However, farmers' markets often have well-priced meats, eggs, fruits, and vegetables that are locally grown and incredibly healthy. Even if you're spending a little more money than before, when you factor in your overall health, spending a few extra bucks on healthier food now is a wiser investment than thousands later on costly medical expenses.
It's tough to eat Paleo in today's society! A normal breakfast in the US consists of bagels, muffins, toast, cereal, or donuts. NONE of those things have any nutritional value, they're loaded with tons of carbs and calories, and are composed of processed grains that can jack up your stomach. Eating out at restaurants can get tough, and "paleo-approved" is not something you'll usually find on a menu. Eating in this manner requires careful planning and tons of willpower, but it can be done if you're dedicated.
"But cavemen had short lifespans! We live way longer now" – I agree with you here, but only because you don't have to deal with the dangers of living back then. Give those hunter-gatherers access to modern technology and medicine and I bet their lifespan would easily surpass ours.
Lastly, there are those that claim that all of this "we're not designed to eat grains" stuff is garbage – that plenty of societies around the world consume grains and aren't fat and unhealthy like us. The China Study is frequently cited when criticizing the Paleo Diet – here are some essays, reviews, and a debate between the author of the Paleo Diet and the author of the China Study that might help you reach a decision.
But this is just a meat diet, and eating all meat is bad! First of all, consider your sources and do your research before jumping to the conclusions. Next, this is not an all meat diet or uber-low carb diet like Atkins. The biggest component of the Paleo Diet? Vegetables! Every meal in a true Paleo diet has a moderate amount of healthy (properly raised chicken, grass-fed beef, hormone free, etc.) meat combined with nutritious veggies or a moderate amount of fruit.
Easing Into It
Maybe you're ready to try out this Paleo lifestyle, but you can't commit fully – there are certain foods you refuse to give up, or you can't afford to buy grass-fed beef at the moment. That's okay! If you can even make a few small changes here and there (cut out liquid calories, switch out your rice for steamed vegetables, cut back on bread, etc.) you'll start to see some changes. Remember, 20% healthier is better than 0% healthier – as you get more comfortable with the changes you can increase that percentage.
One method (the one I like) is the 80% method – eat really well during the week (all paleo), and then give yourself a day on the weekend to eat whatever you want – pizza, ice cream, cheeseburgers, bagels, etc. Get it out of your system on that one day, and then get back on track the next day. For some people this helps them stay on track, when for others it can be derailing. That will be up to you.
Get rid of the temptation – if you're gonna go at this thing with a full head of steam, remove all the junk food from your house. It's going to take a few weeks for your body to adjust to burning fat instead of glucose, and you might want to eat poorly here and there. If there's no food in your house to tempt you, it will be much easier to stay on target.
I found this great article on Nerdfitness explaining the Paleo Diet.

Some illegal immigrants fear applying for licenses
When Illinois' top political leaders touted a proposal to allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses, it was painted as public safety measure and had the backing of immigrant rights advocates, who deemed it a positive step in the fight for immigration reform.
But the idea has run into some resistance among illegal immigrants themselves.
For many of Illinois' estimated 250,000 undocumented residents of driving age, volunteering an address, photograph and birth certificate to a state database seems like a risk, possibly more than driving without a license.
"They will have my record, maybe one day they (authorities) will just stop me," said 19-year-old Faviola Villagomez, who was brought illegally to the U.S. from Mexico as a child. The Chicago college student said she'd be hesitant to apply because it could make her and her six siblings -- none of whom are citizens -- more easily identifiable for deportation.
Mistrust of authorities in immigrant circles is not a new phenomenon, but the proposal expected to come up for a vote before lawmakers next month has reignited concerns and could potentially affect how many would apply if it becomes law.
Immigrant rights advocates acknowledge the problem, even as they support the measure and gear up for community outreach.
"There is a distrust," said Cristobal Cavazos a leader of Immigrant Solidarity DuPage. "People are concerned."
The proposal sailed through the state Senate with little opposition and could be called for a vote in the House as early as Jan. 7. Gov. Pat Quinn has already said that he'll sign it if it gets to his desk.
A key sponsor, state Rep. Edward Acevedo, dismissed the concerns of some illegal immigrants, saying their fears were unfounded. The Chicago Democrat said the bill is a matter of public safety, not immigration reform. Making sure drivers know the rules of the road and are insured would reduce accidents and keep insurance costs from rising.
"This is not about helping illegal immigrants here in this country," he said. "This is about helping protect our citizens here in Illinois." If it becomes law, Illinois would join New Mexico and Washington in allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses. Utah issues permits and a handful of other states are considering proposals.
Under the Illinois proposal, the licenses would be modeled after the state's temporary visitor driver's licenses. They're granted to noncitizens with legal status, such as foreign-born college students. The licenses are granted for three years instead of four, require a photograph and cost the applicant $30.
Anyone who applies would have to take the driver's exam -- which requires an insured vehicle -- and the written exam, and supply identification documents such as a birth certificate. The cards couldn't be used as identification and would look different from a regular license.
That worries the Rev. Jose Landaverde, one of Chicago's most vocal immigrant rights activists, who cautiously supports the legislation. He said the distinction could make immigrants a target, particularly in suburban and rural areas. Chicago is a sanctuary city where police aren't allowed to ask about immigration status.
"We will see what happens," he said.
Backers of the legislation disagree, saying that licenses aren't a way to help federal immigration authorities. For one, the licenses would look like those of other groups in the country legally.
The state's largest immigrant advocacy group, the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, said they'd do community outreach to encourage applying. The group has called the proposal a step forward for immigration reform.
While similar proposals have been floated in Illinois before, this plan gained momentum last month at a high-profile news conference just days after Republicans suffered devastating Election Day losses. Gov. Pat Quinn, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and two Republicans, former Gov. Jim Edgar and Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka, were among those who came out in favor.
The GOP blamed its defeats partially on failing to reach out to minorities and a lack of leadership on immigration reform, something ICIRR groups capitalized on. They say any legislation that addresses illegal immigrants resonates with minorities and immigrants who are citizens, both growing voting blocs.
"Members of both parties have seen this is a practical common sense approach of dealing with the reality of undocumented living in our state," said Lawrence Benito, head of ICIRR. "There isn't political will or enough money to deport 11 million people who are undocumented in this country. We need to address immigration laws at the federal level."
Not all illegal immigrants would be hesitant to apply. Mayra Sarabia, 37, said it would make her life easier.
She's been living in the country illegally since 1992 when she crossed the Mexican border. Her three children are U.S. citizens and she says every time she drives, it's a risk. She said she would rather rely on public transportation for her two-hour commute each way to work in the suburbs from Chicago, where she lives.
"I definitely need a driver's license, it's the fear of every day getting out of the house, and wondering, 'Am I coming back?'" she said. "We are all in the system. If you have a car, you're in the system. I have a bank account, I am in the system. The government knows where I live. ... If they want to deport everyone in the system, then they'll do it."

To the surprise of some and the pleasure of many, the Senate passed a reauthorization bill for the FAA Monday evening, March 22. With the House having passed its reauthorization bill last year, the two can go directly to conference for reconciliation and give the FAA a stable base after 11 three-month temporary extensions. The bill reauthorizes the FAA for a two-year period.
Both the Senate and House bills were passed without user fees, but the Senate version raises the fuel tax from 22 to 38 cents per gallon to help fund modernization of the aviation system. The Senate bill passed by a vote of 93 to 0.
Leaders of the various general aviation groups were quick to applaud the Senate's action. All expressed thanks to Sen. John "Jay" Rockefeller (D-W.Va)., chairman of the of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, for his efforts to finally take action.
Craig Fuller, president and CEO of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), said the final bill will give the FAA "the long-term support it needs to move forward with the crucial work of modernizing our air traffic control system, preserving our network of airports and maintaining the safest air transportation system in the world."
Speaking for the National Air Transportation Association (NATA), James Coyne, president, expressed thanks to the Senate for approving a bill void of user fees and that provides a fair jet fuel tax increase.
Ed Bolen, president and CEO of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), welcomed passage of the bill "to fund the FAA and continue transformation to a Next Generation Air Traffic Control — NextGen — aviation system." He added that NBAA and other general aviation organizations have been strong advocates for proposals to modernize the nation's aviation system and passage of the reauthorization is a good step in that direction.
Pete Bunce, president and CEO of the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), echoed those comments, saying his association was pleased with passage of the bill which takes a number of critical steps needed for the acceleration of NextGen.
Rockefeller cited some of the major portions of the bill, which he says will help the U.S. to continue to have the safest air transportation system in the world. These include new training qualifications for airline pilots, and revising flight and duty times.
The Senate bill also includes authorization of $8.1 billion to support airport infrastructure through the Airport Improvement Program, as well as establishes clear deadlines for adoption of NextGen technology.
