Well we're just pleased as pudding that all of the new Arrested Development season will be available on the same day on Netlix—just as with other Netflix-produced series. Will you watch it all at once or will you hold off and savor it?
In the office, we're already arguing about who gets to take the day off to plow through Arrested Development season 4. Unfortunately, somebody has to show up and write Gizmodo. But maybe there are some fans out there who will watch the episodes slowly—you know, to make the magic last. What will you do? We'll update later based on your votes.
Update: 5:30pm
The votes are in and it turns out that either you guys really really hate working or you're just as excited as we are for the new season of Arrested Development. Out of the nearly 4000 votes, 2600—almost exactly 66%—said you would call out just to plow through the new season as quickly as possible.

One of the key characteristics of a blog is the ability for people to comment on what you have posted there are some people who will even argue that it is not really a blog without them! Having this capability gives the blog its interactive element, opens up the opportunities for communications and can help forge the start of a real business connections.
Hopefully, when looking at how to approach the question of comments, you won't be deciding whether to allow them or not, but rather how to elicit comments and how to handle the ones you receive. As you are doing so, here are some points that you might want to bear in mind:
a) How to allow comments
Just because you open up your blog to comments doesnt mean that have to let anything and everything appear on your blog. You have control over comments which appear and, on most blog platforms, there are a range of options open to you these can range from readers having to be approved and logged in before they can comment at one end of the scale, through to an open policy of no moderation at the other. For most, the right approach lies somewhere in the middle and depends on you, your companys requirements and the aims of your blog. As a good default position, I recommend starting with a level of moderation (ie. you approve comments before they appear) and then develop it from there.
b) Make sure you respond
When people have taken the trouble to leave a comment on your blog then make sure you respond where appropriate – remember, in most cases, you are looking to engage with the people who leave comments, so if they respond and ask a question then make sure that you reply to it. This gives you the opportunity to develop the conversation and work towards establishing and then building on a connection with your readers.
c) Consider a Comments Policy
Not just appropriate for corporates, any business blog whether its run by an individual or a company can benefit from openly stating what their policy on comments is. If you moderate them, then let people know that there comments wont appear immediately – at the same time, if you are clear about what is acceptable on your business blog and therefore what is not, you can cut down the comments which contravene them.
d) Encourage comments
Dont sit back and just rely on the comments simply appearing actively encourage them! This could be in the way you write your posts or by posing open questions as a closing line in your blog inviting opinions from your readers or simply by asking for them. And if your template just says No comments when a posts is still waiting for its first reply, then why not change it to something like Come on – be the first to comment! You never know!
e) "Reward" comments
In most blog software, the comments just appear on the individual posts, so why not highlight the people who are commenting and encourage other readers to join them by displaying a Latest Comments list in the sidebar of your main pages which will give both them and you additional visibility. For WordPress users, the Get Recent Comments plugin makes this easy to do.
f) Don't simply block negative comments
Dont simply delete critical comments which come in. At least on your blog you have the chance to respond to them, while elsewhere they will go unchallenged and unanswered. You will find that by allowing and responding to them, you are more likely to gain greater respect by handling objections with grace and tact in the eyes of other readers of your blog. Also, if you are able to answer their points and solve the issue they have, then you have the opportunity not only to keep them as a customer but also perhaps turn them into an supporter for your company again.
g) Avoiding spam comments
Youll find that you do attract spam comments but there are ways to avoid them appearing as well as taking up your valuable time. You could use CAPTCHA methods or registration but, for me, the method that has least impact on your readers will be to use specialist software. In my opinion, the leader in this respect is Akismet which identifies the comments that it believes are spam and impounds them – free of charge, except for commercial use and very good.
h) Help people follow the conversation
Using a plugin such as Subscribe to Comments, you can allow your readers to sign up for an email notification of when any further comments have been left on the post. It's a good way to help keep the conversation bubbling away and of course encouraging people to participate more. You could also encourage them to use comment tracking services such as CoComment, Co.mments and Commentful.

Making Things
I love making.
My designs consist of simple graphics put together to allow you to make something spectacular by adding fabulous color and texture through the use of carefully curated fabrics, paper or fibers.
I love the use of unexpected color choices and layers upon layers of color to make my designs pop.
I believe that you can achieve awesomeness in your projects. Don't be afraid of color and of making choices that YOU like.
About Me
I have a degree in biology and worked in the pharmaceutical industry for years. Not quite the typical start for a designer, right?
I have been creative all of my life but I never learned how to sew. There were too many girls in Home Ec so I ended up in woodworking and metal class. I loved it.
I started quilting when I moved to the US from Toronto, Canada. I didn't know how to quilt but I bought a Janome sewing machine and taught myself how to sew. A little while later, I designed a BOM quilt for a local shop and shortly after that I had a booth at my first Quilt Market in Atlantic City when I was six months pregnant. What was I thinking? Or perhaps I wasn't.
The rest, as they say, is history. Many books and fabric lines later, I still continue to enjoy the art of making.

One bad day and one phone call really changed my life. I picked up the phone without expecting too much. I never expected Sara to be on the other end! From day one, she had a job opportunity for me and she was ready to help me get on track to start school. She gave me the keys and the extra push to change my life. She was serious and dedicated to helping me become the person I wanted to be and she wasn't accepting anything less than my best because she chose to believe in me.
I'm proud to say I am now employed and ready to start school. Thanks to Sara and the Daymar staff, I'm confident in my future and my abilities as a mother, employee, and student. You never know who may be out there willing to guide you.
Thank you Sara and Daymar!

BAYBORO � Bids for refurbishing an aging Pamlico County water plant have come in $447,000 over budget, a matter the county commissioners will discuss tonight.
BAYBORO � Bids for refurbishing an aging Pamlico County water plant have come in $447,000 over budget, a matter the county commissioners will discuss tonight.
County Manager Tim Buck said the budget for rebuilding the Kershaw Water Treatment Plant was $800,000. From seven construction bidders, the low cost was $1.1 million by Peters and White Construction. Recommendations for another $34,000 filters with automatic controls, along with a contingency fund, pushed the cost overruns past $400,000.
Buck said there are several options that the board can consider at tonight�s regular 7 p.m. meeting at the county courthouse.
The options include negotiating with the bidder to reduce costs by changing specifications involving piping, values or filters. Another option is to find and allocate addition budget funding, with a final option of deferring the project.
Buck said the plant was built about 20 years ago and has never had any major upgrades, which this work would provide.
�Because of the poor condition of the vessels and other appurtenances, deferring the project does not seem to be a viable option,� Buck said in his memo to the board. �Our engineer (Rivers and Associates) is of the opinion that the project as specified will be the best option long-term and will result in less down time, maintenance and the extended plant life.�
Buck said the water fund capital reserves fund has about $2 million, from which the needed extra funding could be borrowed and then repaid through water department revenues. Another funding option would be installment financing.
In other business, a public hearing is scheduled on some changes in the number of mobile homes per acre for the future, per the county mobile home ordinance.
Another matter will be a planning board recommendation for commissioners to approve the Lee Landing Subdivision-Phase Two for Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Development Company.
It involves 11 lots, adjacent to an existing paved road and water line.
There would be a capital reserve fee due of $19,500 to tap onto the existing water line.

– The feeling at Monday's RAW was that The Undertaker will be back on next week's old school themed show. Some of the words used in CM Punk's promo like being immortal, an icon and God are believed to be setting up the feud with Taker.
– Speaking of Punk, he worked Monday's excellent RAW main event against John Cena while sick. Punk and some other WWE stars picked up a bug while in the Middle East last week but Punk apparently caught it worse than others.
– The idea to bring in Dutch Mantel as Zeb Colter came from Vince McMahon and the WWE writing team. There has been a feeling that some guys just can't talk to get themselves over and need managers who can talk for them. This was discussed a few months ago and at the time, Dutch and former WCW, ECW and TNA manager Jim Mitchell were brought up in WWE creative meetings. Dutch ended up being brought in for Jack Swagger and it's said that Mitchell still could be used in the future.

Milan, Italy — There's something really strange about the Italian election, which is taking place this coming Sunday and Monday.
The man who is considered the frontrunner in the election is a complete afterthought.
On the other hand, the two men who are the outsider protest candidates are getting all of the attention.
In conversations here in Milan, discussions about Beppe Grillo (the populist comedian that's making bankers very nervous) outnumber discussions about any other candidate by at least 2-to-1.
The next most talked about candidate is Silvio Berlusconi, who is trying to get back into power. He's running a close (but consistent) 2nd place. If he has a poor showing, it could be the end of an era.
The next most talked about candidate is Mario Monti, who was Prime Minister starting in late 2011, up until the beginning of this election. He's widely disliked for being an unelected technocrat who raised taxes and instituted pension reforms. Most controversially, he passed a small property tax that hits anyone who owns a home (which is about 80% of Italians). Berlusconi has seized on that issue, promising to refund the entire tax, and he's made it the centerpiece of his campaign (literally in his brochure, it's his #1 promise).
And then finally, the least talked about candidate is Pier Luigi Bersani, who is in the lead in the polls, and who leads the center-left party.
He seems to have no clear message or personality type other than being a competent guy, who the elites generally trust, except that he's from the old school of Italian politics, and basically another same-old.
He won a primary to lead his party, but many think that the other guy (who was younger) would have been a better candidate. Earlier today staffer on Berlusconi's campaign wondered why it was that Bersani hasn't many public trips to other countries, introducing himself. And he noted that, unusually, Bersani has a philosophy degree -- not a background in business or economics, which is more standard.
It's not that unusual -- especially in Europe -- to see a battle between an establishment guy and a populist (like in the case with Greece last year), but usually the establishment guy is just, you know, standard establishment. Here in Italy, he seems almost absent.
Meanwhile, here's a poster we saw today at Berlusconi's Milan HQ. It's from his very first race in 1994. The bottom reads: For a new Italian miracle.

If you were disappointed in the news that this Wednesday MS is going to "unleash" a solitaire game on the Live Arcade, I have good news for you. You see, one summer a few Microsoft interns decided to sit down and create a shooter with the developer of the Live Arcade Uno. The game became Aegis Wing, and some people apparently thought it was pretty good. So they're giving it to you this Wednesday, for the sum total of $0.00. Let's look at some information from the press release.
"Aegis Wing" is a 2-D side-scrolling space shooter that combines epic space combat with fantastic visuals, and is set to a rich symphonic soundtrack. It is set in the year 2105, when humanity must flee a dying Earth for the distant world Europa. But this new home is soon threatened by a powerful alien race, the Araxia. With stolen Araxian technology, the Europa fleet develops an experimental star fighter and assigns four ace pilots to test it. The Aegis Wing is born, and it becomes your mission to wield this new technology as humanity's last hope for survival.
Up to four players can play together either locally or over Xbox LIVE to defeat waves of nefarious Araxian ships and bosses, and can even combine spacecraft in two-, three- or four-ship formations to access powerful Super Weapons.
This looks like a pretty standard shooter, but the graphics are solid and the multiplayer aspect is nice. I'm looking forward to giving this a try; who doesn't like a free shooter? This will apparently be a limited-time download, so be sure to grab it while you can.

While installing central heating in his Dublin, Ireland home, John Byrne found a letter to Santa Claus written in 1911 by two children, 10-year-old Hannah Howard and her 7-year-old brother Fred. The children placed the letter on a shelf inside their fireplace, and miraculously it remained there for decades and was only slightly burned. In the letter Hannah writes, "I want a baby doll and a waterproof with a hood and a pair of gloves and a toffee apple and a gold penny and a silver sixpence and a long toffee." Sadly, if people of the future find our letters they won't be half as lovely, since we usually asked for stuff like Skip-It and Totally Hair Barbie.

Steel and how very much

Ferrous materials involve common precious metals for example iron and metal. Metal may be found in numerous goods, including furnishings, kitchen cabinets, and much more. While stainlesss steel might not gather much cash with the scrap garden, it's crucial that you acquire this kind of components on the garden to ensure that it is recycled effectively.

When the magnet does not adhere to your metal, that steel is non-ferrous. Low-ferrous materials are typically worth more than ferrous metals, and will include this kind of typical alloys as copper, lightweight aluminum, brass, stainless and bronze. Reddish colored and in value, copper are available in water lines, roof supplies, and typical electric cables. Light weight aluminum can obviously be located in cans, in addition to rain gutters, siding, entrance doors plus more. Brass is incredibly hefty and may be found in the sort of computer hardware and furnishings, including door knobs and keys.

Sure, Jason Brody is also featured here — he's the protagonist of Far Cry 3 — but who cares? He's riding in the back anyway.
This bizarre video by insanegaz proves that the main characters from Far Cry 3 can be just as cool outside an island paradise as they are inside of it. Well, not Jason. He just kind of falls over at some point and them mysteriously, another one appears to take his place. Creepy.
Go away, Jason. I want to play a game as Vaas. Open world game like Grand Theft Auto or, yes, Far Cry 3 would do. Blissful soundtrack optional.

PRATT--The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism's F.I.S.H. Program, which stands for Fishing Impoundments and Stream Habitats, was patterned after the very successful Walk-In Hunting Access Program with a goal of increasing public fishing opportunities in Kansas. First introduced to Kansas anglers and landowners in 1998, F.I.S.H. leases private waters from landowners for public fishing. Landowners participating in F.I.S.H. receive payments, and F.I.S.H. provides anglers with a place to fish while leaving the land in private ownership. The deadline for landowners to enroll for 2013 is December 15, 2012.
Special regulations are in place for F.I.S.H. properties, and KDWPT officials periodically patrol the areas. Violators will be ticketed or arrested for vandalism, littering or failing to comply with fishing regulations. Access is limited to foot traffic, except on roads designated by the landowner in the case of very large tracts of land. Additionally, under this program some landowners are eligible for fish stocking, habitat management, fence crossers, cattle guards, rock boat ramps, or rocked parking areas.
Each year, KDWPT publishes a fishing atlas featuring maps that show each body of water enrolled in the program, boating allowance, and fish species available. F.I.S.H. sites are open for public access from March 1 to October 31 or year-round. Landowners allowing year-round access receive a 10 percent lease increase.
Pond Leasing
The program leases privately-owned ponds for public access by the acre. Base lease rates range from $75-$125 per/acre/year, depending on where the pond is located in. Boating allowance bonuses are available as well. Ponds allowing carry-in boats only will receive an additional $10/acre/year and properties allowing all boats access (adequate launching site must be present) will receive an additional $25/acre/year.
Stream Leasing
Another focus of the F.I.S.H. program is to increase access to streams for fishing and paddlesports. Depending on the quality of the stream's fishery, annual lease rates for fishing access range from $500 to $1,500/mile. Stream stretches that allow paddlesport access could receive an additional annual payment of $500-$750/mile. To be eligible for the additional paddlesports payment, the stream stretch must be at least one-mile, with put-in and take-out spots (bonus applies only between put-in and take-out spots), and signed up for a long-term lease (minimum five years).
Big River Access Leasing
The Kansas, Arkansas, and Missouri Rivers are considered navigable waters and are open to public access. However, public land access points are limited. To increase public access to these rivers, the F.I.S.H. program leases access sites from willing landowners. Landowners with adequate launch facilities, can annually receive $1,500/site. If the site is within 10 river miles of any other public access site a landowner can annually receive $2,000/site.
For more information about enrolling your water in the F.I.S.H. program contact your nearest KDWPT office, or the Operations office in Pratt, 620-672-5911. You can also learn more about F.I.S.H. at www.ksoutdoors.com.
This program is made possible by the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Act, the sale of fishing licenses, and the Farm Bill.

First Aid Comedy Brigade
Through NYU, where I am currently a student, I won a grant to start this non-profit organization. The First Aid Comedy Brigade is the first student-run movement to provide free comedy shows to children in hospitals around the nation. By marrying already existing university comedy improvisation troupes with local children's hospitals, the FACB plans to create hundreds of local chapters (Brigades), bringing laughter into the lives of thousands of children.
We are currently working with seven colleges - Yale, UPenn, GWU, NYU, Columbia, Rochester and Michigan. Once I find the right logo, I will order t-shirts and backdrops for each of the groups, and begin booking shows. The brand/image of the brigade will be the defining factor that unifies all chapters across America. Next year, we plan to expand to many more schools around the country.
The audience we are aiming to please is the children we are performing in front of. They are usually between 3 - 13, and reside in the in-patient wards at children's hospitals, usually very sick.
A cool aspect of this organization is that the performers are college students - essentially role models for these children. As opposed to having the connection between the student and the child be formal, as it would be with older volunteers, I believe that a young person to young person connection would be instrumental in defining this organization.
I am looking for a logo to represent the First Aid Comedy Brigade. This logo will be on the website, on the t-shirts of the performers, and splattered all over the backdrop set up behind each performance.
I am really looking for something more on the simple side - a quick image that will immediately be associated with this organization. I like the idea of having a smiley face, and somehow incorporating the fact that we are performing for sick children. A good example:
(I am not a huge fan of using the red cross, but not adamantly against it. A band-aid could work better maybe)
I am not at all set on the smiley face, I really am open to any other ideas.
I do want to incorporate the text "First Aid Comedy Brigade" in the logo as well. It can either be written beneath the logo, or somehow incorporated in it.
Please feel free to experiment with colors!
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

The time has come…..school starts this week!! WOOHOO!!! Not all of us in the house are doing the "Back-to-School Boogie"….Jon would prefer to keep right on going with his summer vacation. Sorry, Charlie! While I have enjoyed the summer with the kids, I am excited to get back into more of a routine. The school supplies have been purchased and the backpacks are packed. Now all we need is for Wednesday to get here!
This week Asparagus Thin is hosting the gluten-free menu swap. She chose grapes as her ingredient theme of the week. I love grapes! My new favorite grape is the champagne grape, which I have been using on my salads! YUM!! I talk about them here. I plan on continuing to use them in my salads this week. I also have some seedless red grapes that I am probably going to freeze for fun snacks this week.
I have some news that really disappointed me today. I had written a while back that I was so excited that Meijer's Rotisserie Chicken was gluten-free…the original only had 4 0r 5 ingredients on the list, all clearly gluten-free. Well, today I went to buy our Sunday night chicken and went to check the ingredients like I always do and what do you know, they changed them!! Now there was a huge list for the "spices" and wheat flour was the 3rd one on the list!! WHY???? What was wrong with the way it was?? If it isn't broke, don't fix it!! I was trying to find a manager on duty, but decided it would be best to email after Aaron convinced me of it. So, that scrapped our dinner for tonight. I did buy a roasting chicken so I could make my own this week. Close in price, just more work for me. Oh well. I should be used to it by now. This just goes to show you why it is very important to check the labels on everything you buy & eat every single time.
Sunday ~ Chicken Parmesan a la Aaron. 🙂 Spaghetti, green beans & salad on the side
Monday ~ Kim meeting friend at Whole Foods; leftovers for the family
Tuesday ~ Filet mignon, broccoli, sweet potatoes & salad
Wednesday ~ Tacos or Mexican Pizza, beans & salad
Thursday ~ Apricot Glazed Pork Loin, parmesan potatoes, asparagus & salad
Friday ~ Breakfast for dinner (pancakes or omelets)
Saturday ~ Out
Baked Goods
Haven't gotten this far yet! HA!! I would love to make some more chia muffins or banana bread this week.
Don't forget to check out Orgjunkie for lots more menu ideas.
Hope you have a great week!!

The Best Practices in Marcellus Shale Education Conference was held March 18-19 in Ithaca, NY, attended by about 60 individuals from around the northeastern and mid-Atlantic U.S., especially New York and Pennsylvania. Information about the meet and the agenda (available here) have been maintained online, because many of the presentations and notes from discussions during the conference have been linked to the agenda and may be be useful to other educators.
The focus of the conference was on education and outreach practices in communicating about Marcellus shale gas drilling and other polarizing issues. The Marcellus Shale serves as a case study from which we can learn about energy education more broadly, including attention to the challenges of teaching the science of a controversial issue.
Topics included:
- development of energy literacy,
- Earth system and environmental literacy,
- scale in space and time and Earth systems,
- effective communication about complex and interdisciplinary issues,
- strategies for teaching and learning about risk, socioeconomic issues, and local and global environmental considerations,
- the roles of education and advocacy,
- strategies for maintaining civil discourse, and,
- broad lessons we are learning for applicability to other energy issues.
Threading throughout these topics were discussions of how to help people to learn and have constructive conversations about energy when the topic is deeply polarizing.
The target audience was professional educators striving to provide impartial education and outreach on issues surrounding shale gas development. Examples include schoolteachers, college and university faculty, Cooperative Extension educators, science journalists, and museum educators. We sought to have attendees from a broad geographic region and a variety of educators. Speakers included scientists, educators and journalists. The meeting did not include talks that focussed upon a review of shale gas drilling itself or cover policies and regulations.
The meeting was partially funded through grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF GEO 1015189 and GEO 1035078). It was hosted by the Paleontological Research Institution and the Cornell Cooperative Extension Marcellus Outreach Team.

A cute love story of Sara and Paul!
Sarah and Paul were neighbors at Gonzaga University's Burch Apartments in the fall of 2006. They quickly became friends after being introduced by Sarah's roommate. Knowing that something might develop, Sarah immediately told Paul that she was leaving to study abroad in Italy the following semester. Although they just met, Paul was sad to hear this news. Sarah studied abroad in Florence while Paul continued studying in Spokane. They spent countless cell phone and phone card minutes to stay in touch. They started dating that May and remained together for a year of college and then through a three-year long distance relationship and separate relocations to North Dakota and Massachusetts. Paul proposed to Sarah on New Year's Eve 2010 on the dock behind the Spokane Convention Center. They started planning a wedding for Memorial Day weekend 2012 in Spokane. On May 27, 2012, they were joined by the presence of their families and friends for a memorable wedding ceremony and reception at St Al's church and the historic Davenport Hotel. Paul and Sarah are now living in Boston, MA and are excited to share a happy life together as husband and wife.

Boathouse Youth
Boathouse Youth
The Boathouse Youth is an organization serving the needs of the Bloomfield and Waterloo Wards in South Shore, Blackpool. The club is affiliated with the Church of England through the Diocese of Blackburn.
The areas in which the group works are amongst some of the most deprived in the UK and currently rank in the bottom 3% of the Index of Multiple Deprivation. As a result of this, their mission statement is: The Boathouse Youth aims to help develop every child and young person by unlocking the barriers and restrictions to new challenges and experiences.
There was some low level interest in cycling back in early 2010, but the initial contact to Cycle Blackpool was around road safety. Once they had seen the potential of cycling to achieve their mission statement, they signed up as a Bike Club and Cycling UK affiliate group. A full programme of activity was initiated and the young people were treated to an exciting and innovative year of biking. This culminated in securing a major grant from Sport England and being the first Bike Club in the country to gain youth achievement awards, recognizing the contribution of young people to the activities on offer from their youth club.

Whenever a new game or demo hits, Japanese gamers love to fire up the character creator and see which celebrities they can reproduce. So when the Dragon's Dogma demo hit, that's exactly what they did.
In the above gallery, you can see an array of celebrities—from real life ones to in-games ones. In some, the resemblance is uncanny. In others, it's not. All of them should put on shirts—save for Kratos. No shirt for him.
So think of this as a test drive of sorts, where the results are only as good as the software and the person using it.
Upcoming role-playing game Dragon's Dogma isn't terrible—and we've been skeptical!

The first public library in Centre County was the direct result of a bequest from Ann Elmira Humes, in her will of 1935. She left her house (the historic Miles-Humes home, built 1814-1815) at 203 N. Allegheny St. in Bellefonte to be used as a library, as long as the community would rally with financial support within a reasonable period of time.
The town, led by the Bellefonte Woman's Club, did rally, and in 1938 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Centre County agreed to help to provide funding. On October 25, 1939, the Library & Historical Corporation of Bellefonte opened in the big stone building at the northwest corner of Allegheny and Howard Streets, with a collection of 10,000 volumes. In 1956 the name was changed to Centre County Library & Historical Museum.
In 1977, the CCL renovated the former A&P supermarket building on the northeast corner of Allegheny and Howard Streets and transferred the main circulating collection of the Library to that site on October 23, 1977.
The original Library building, the Miles-Humes home, houses the Pennsylvania Room collections, four museum display rooms, and administrative offices.
The first county Bookmobile took to the roads on December 24, 1941. The current Bookmobile is the sixth, and serves 29 different municipalities in the County, focusing on those areas which lack public transportation and nearby branch libraries.
The Philipsburg Public Library (later renamed Holt Memorial Library) became part of the Centre County Library system in 1963, followed by the Aaronsburg branch library in 1968. In 2010, the Aaronsburg collection was moved to Millheim to become the East Penns Valley Area Branch library. Unfortunately, in 2013, the branch was closed due to state funding cuts.
The Centre Hall Area Branch library, the most recent addition to the CCL system, opened in 1997.

A number of answers for the question Proper Use cases for Android UserManager.isAGoat() were deleted, such as this one by casperOne. (I'm not sure who is responsible for the deletions of the other answers which where popular and I feel should have stayed)
I feel that this is an inappropriate action for the moderator to have taken. A moderator may disagree with a post, but it is not grounds for deletion. That is what the up/down vote is for.
Why was this (and other more popular) posts deleted, and is that an appropriate action for a moderator to take?

It seems like half the questions I click on these days are full of comments or even "answers"* that don't relate to the question, but instead are complaints about the poster's other questions, demands that the user mark other questions answered, comments about the user's accept rate, etc.
This kind of active, I won't say "reputation-whoring," let's say active "playing of the reputation meta-game", in the middle of other people trying to get their programming questions answered, it bugs the shit out of me, personally. It's distracting. It's clutter. In game terms, it ruins the immersion.
But clearly these meta-comments are important to the users who make them, and some of them get a lot of up-votes too. The Stack Overflow reputation game is serious business for a lot of people, it looks like; and it being one of the major drivers of smart people posting smart answers, I'm all for it. And it's not like we can split Stack Overflow into, like, RP and PVP servers.
Is there a way both "player types" can get what they want? Can we come up with some other channel for users to express their complaints about other users' etiquette or posting style? Or is making sure those complaints get in the face of the rest of us an inseparable part of the game?
* The word "answers" originally linked to an "answer" more or less of the form: I could tell you, but since you've ignored my answer to your other question, I'm not gonna. Looks like it's since been nuked, so that's one good deed accomplished for the day...

Bonn/Magdeburg/Halle. A new substance class for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and other neurodegenerative diseases now promises increased efficacy paired with fewer side effects. To achieve this, a team of scientists under the leadership of Prof. Gunter Fischer (Max Planck Research Unit for Enzymology of Protein Folding, Halle/Saale, Germany) and Dr. Frank Striggow (German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE)) have combined two already approved pharmaceutical substances with each other using a chemical linker structure. The objectives of this combination are to ensure maximum brain cell protection on the one hand and the suppression of unwanted side effects on the other. The new class of substances has now been registered with the European Patent Office as the DZNE's first patent in the form of a joint patent application with the Max Planck Research Unit. "The patent approval process can take several years. During this phase we are planning to conclude the pre-clinical development. It is our aim to start with clinical research and development at the earliest possible time. Overall, we have identified substantial therapeutic potential as far as chronic and age-related neurodegenerative diseases are concerned," comments Dr. Frank Striggow.
Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease that affects the central nervous system. It destroys the insulation of the nerve cell signaling system, the myelin sheaths of the neural axons. The consequence of this process is the malfunction of signaling and finally cell death resulting in permanent neurological problems. The cause of multiple sclerosis is that the body itself attacks the cellular components of the myelin sheaths, the oligodendrocytes. Hence, the team of scientists under the direction of Prof. Gunter Fischer and Dr. Frank Striggow embarked on a search for intervention options that could protect brain cells from these attacks. The goal was not only to prevent the damage and loss of brain cells, but also to develop a medication that has a positive impact on cell regeneration.
The used components of the Cyclosporine and FK506 (tacrolimus)-series have been utilized in a chemically slightly altered form as immunosuppressant medications for a long time. Both suppress the cellular immune defenses. This effect is necessary in conjunction with organ transplants, but otherwise problematic for the organism. The specific combination of the two substances amplifies the protective effect on the nerve cells thanks to different but synergistic efficacy mechanisms. The impact on the immune defense is reduced at the same time, which results in fewer side effects. Both of these achievements were corroborated by experiments. An application for a patent protecting this new class of active ingredients has now been filed. Ascenion GmbH and Max Planck Innovation both attend the project as utilization partners of the DZNE and of the Max Planck Society.
The German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) conducts research to determine the causes of diseases that affect the nervous system and develops strategies for prevention, therapy and health care. It is a member of the Helmholtz Association with sites in Berlin, Bonn, Dresden, Göttingen, Magdeburg, Munich, Rostock/Greifswald, Tübingen and Witten. The DZNE cooperates closely with universities, university hospital and non-university institutions. In a number of research projects, DZNE scientists work in close partnership with the Max Planck Society. The joint patent application is a result of the cooperation of the DZNE and the Max Planck Research Unit for Enzymology of Protein Folding. The two are also partners in the BMBF Program "Spitzenforschung und Innovation in den Neuen Ländern" in conjunction with the ProNet-T3 Project, in which numerous other institutions are involved.

Aid groups protest to CIA over bin Laden scheme
ISLAMABAD — A leading coalition of American humanitarian aid groups has written to the CIA chief to protest the agency's use of a Pakistani doctor to help track Osama bin Laden, linking the ploy to a worsening polio crisis in Pakistan.
Polio, a crippling childhood disease, is endemic now in only three countries, including Pakistan, which had the highest number of polio cases in the world last year. Health workers in this impoverished nation warn of a health catastrophe could spiral out of control.
Last July, McClatchy revealed that the CIA had instructed a Pakistani doctor, Shakil Afridi, to set up a fake vaccination scheme in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad to gain entry to the house where it suspected that bin Laden was living. The goal of the scheme was to extract DNA samples from the al Qaida chief's family members.
But to many Pakistanis, the ruse seemingly provided proof for a widely believed prejudice — fueled by religious extremists — that vaccinations, especially polio drops, are a Western conspiracy to sterilize Muslims.
"The CIA's use of the cover of humanitarian activity for this purpose casts doubt on the intentions and integrity of all humanitarian actors in Pakistan, thereby undermining the international humanitarian community's efforts to eradicate polio, provide critical health services and extend life-saving assistance during times of crisis, like the floods seen in Pakistan over the last two years," the coalition of aid agencies, InterAction, wrote in its letter to CIA director David Petraeus.
The alliance of 200 American nongovernmental organizations said the CIA's tactics also had endangered the lives of foreign aid workers.
In recent months, presumed Islamic extremists have kidnapped at least five international employees of nongovernmental organizations, including an American, Warren Weinstein. Pakistani intelligence agents have increased surveillance and harassment of foreign aid workers since the Afridi saga, according to InterAction and interviews McClatchy has conducted.
A poor country of 180 million people, Pakistan desperately needs foreign assistance for its humanitarian needs, including dealing with the aftermath of massive flooding in 2010 and 2011.
"The CIA-led immunization campaign compromises the perception of U.S. NGOs as independent actors focused on a common good and casts suspicion on their humanitarian workers. The CIA's actions may also jeopardize the lives of humanitarian aid workers in Pakistan," InterAction's letter said.
The American agencies, which include the International Rescue Committee, Mercy Corps and CARE, reacted after Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in January publicly acknowledged Afridi's role in the bin Laden hunt for the first time.
Joel Charny, a vice president at InterAction, said in an interview that Panetta's remarks to CBS provided the opportunity to raise the issue with the letter, which the alliance faxed to Petraeus on Feb. 21. InterAction said it hadn't received a reply.
"We're not trying to embarrass anyone," Charny said. "But we can't have bogus humanitarian activities going on in the name of national security."
"The vaccination effort was limited and real. It was conducted by genuine medical professionals who planned to provide everyone with the full course of treatments," a senior U.S. official told McClatchy, speaking only on the condition of anonymity due to a lack of authorization to talk to journalists. "The idea that this was in any way a `fake' public health effort is simply mistaken. If the effort had not been interrupted by arrests, many Pakistani children would have been fully immunized.
"The doctor was never asked to spy on Pakistan — he was asked only to help locate the most wanted terrorist in the world. The other dedicated medical professionals who conducted the vaccination campaign with the doctor were not involved in the effort to confirm bin Laden's presence."
Before the U.S. raid last May 2 that killed bin Laden, the CIA was unsure whether the al Qaida chief was really living in Abbottabad. Afridi used nurses to go house-to-house in the town to provide hepatitis vaccinations, and managed to gain entry to the compound where bin Laden was suspected to be living but apparently failed to get the DNA.
The idea may have come from the fact that a nurse previously had managed to get into the bin Laden compound to administer polio drops to his children and grandchildren.
Polio has staged a startling comeback in Pakistan since 2005. Last year, nearly 200 Pakistani children were paralyzed by the disease, accounting for 60 percent of all new polio cases worldwide, according to the United Nations Children's Fund.
The situation is worst in the tribal area, along the Afghan border, and the remote western province of Baluchistan, the least educated parts of the country. The outbreak could lead to other countries slapping travel restrictions on Pakistani citizens.
Washington has been pressuring Pakistan to release Afridi, whom Pakistani authorities arrested some three weeks after the bin Laden raid. This week, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Pakistan had "no basis" for holding him.
While U.S. officials may regard Afridi as a hero for helping to track the world's most wanted terrorist, Pakistan, which was humiliated by the bin Laden operation, thinks that Afridi has committed treason by working for a foreign intelligence agency.
Abdul Basit, a spokesman for Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told McClatchy that Afridi "is being dealt with in accordance with our law. We expect all to respect our legal process, and refrain from making insinuations and drawing premature conclusions."

Shrimp Pasta with Broccoli Pesto + Cuisinart Food Processor GIVEAWAY
Do you all sing in the kitchen?
Um, I definitely do. Constantly. (I mean, I named this blog after a song, didn't I??)
Most of the time I'm jamming out to whatever is on Spotify. Or watching Hulu and shedding a few tears to the Parenthood soundtrack (best tv soundtrack ever), or crossing my fingers to hear a Gunnar and Scarlett duet on Nashville (or the ridiculously talented Stella sisters), or feeling All The Feelings with those magical first few notes to the Friday Night Lights theme song (because who doesn't want to hang out in the kitchen with Tim Riggins).
But when I was choppin' broccoli over the weekend for this shrimp pasta with broccoli pesto, I have to confess…
…it was all Dana Carvey in my kitchen, all the way.
Really, let's be honest, choppin' broccoli will always = Dana. Just like banana pancakes = Jack Johnson. And peaches = The Presidents Who Have Way Too Long Of A Name. And cheeseburgers = Jimmy Buffet. (Time for me to write my ode to egg drop soup…) Today, though, I have a new use for choppin' broccoli that I think would make Dana proud. Broccoli pesto.
I was craving pesto this weekend, but basil season is over here and I was wanting to try something new. So I peeked at my friend Kathryne's October Produce Guide and was reminded that these miniature green trees (as I like to think of them) are in season. And then the idea occurred to me — why not toss it into a food processor and make a broccoli pesto?! I had recently been challenged by my friends at EatShrimp to come up with a new shrimp pasta recipe. So since one of my all-time favorite entrees to make is shrimp pasta with pesto (like my Blackened Shrimp with Asparagus-Spinach Pesto recipe), I thought this might be a perfect way to experiment with broccoli pesto.
They had also recently sent me a new Cuisinart Elemental 8-Cup Food Processor to test out before I gave one away on the blog, and I'm happy to say that it pesto-ed the heck out of this broccoli like a charm. I decided to go somewhat classic with the pesto ingredients, adding in fresh broccoli (that I had pre-cooked for about 3 minutes), garlic, toasted pine nuts, freshly-grated Parmesan, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
And then I pureed it into a slightly-chunky pesto. You can make yours completely smooth if you want, but I liked having it just a little chunky in honor of all that broccoli.
Then I tossed it with some simple sauteed shrimp, whole wheat pasta, and then sprinkled on some crushed red pepper, extra pine nuts and parmesan.
And a delicious, seasonal, and very green dinner was served. I had a few friends over for a little pasta party to sample the recipe and get their honest thoughts on the broccoli pesto. And they were big fans! Granted, they all liked broccoli. And this pesto definitely tastes like broccoli. So if you're trying to sneak it past some picky eating kids, there's a good chance they will spy with their little eyes that there is some floret-action happening. But if you're a broccoli-"appreciater" or a broccoli-mega-fan, I'm pretty sure you will completely enjoy this one. The lemon and Parmesan really help to balance and bring out the flavor of the broccoli, and the result is a delicious and hearty pesto that are packed with all of the good-for-you-ness of broccoli. And I must say, the shrimp on top absolutely make the meal. I sprinkled my shrimp with a little extra Parmesan before serving, but frankly I loved how their simple flavor came through just seasoned with salt and pepper in this recipe. The pesto is already full of some strong and complex flavors, so I thought the pairing was perfect.
If you're looking for more great recipes to make with shrimp, pop over and visit the Eat Shrimp on their website, Facebook, and Pinterest where they are sharing even more recipes and prizes this month for shrimp and pasta parties. And also be sure to also scroll below to enter our sweet giveaway below for a chance to win a new Cuisinart food processor of your own. So tap into your inner Dana Carvey and get to choppin' some broccoli, friends!
Shrimp Pasta with Broccoli Pesto
This shrimp pasta recipe is simple to make, and tossed with the most delicious broccoli pesto recipe!
Pasta Ingredients:
- 1 lb. (16 oz.) dried pasta (I used DeLallo whole wheat)
- salt and pepper
- 1 lb. jumbo raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
- optional toppings: crushed red pepper flakes, extra freshly-grated Parmesan, extra pine nuts
- broccoli pesto (see ingredients below)
Broccoli Pesto Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 1 bunch or 1 pound)
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
To Make The Pasta:
Cook the pasta in a large pot of generously-salted boiling water al dente according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, season the shrimp on both sides with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add shrimp and saute for 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through and pink and no longer translucent. Turn off the heat, and transfer shrimp to a separate plate and set aside.
When the pasta is al dente, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water and then drain the pasta. Return the pasta either to the stockpot where it was cooked, or to the saute pan (with the stove heat turned off). Add the pesto to the pasta, and toss until evenly coated, adding in a bit of the reserved pasta water if needed to thin the pesto. Then stir in the shrimp and pine nuts, and serve immediately sprinkled with optional toppings if desired.
To Make The Pesto:
Fill a separate large saucepan or stockpot with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and tender. Remove the broccoli with a slotted spoon and transfer to the bowl of the food processor fitted with the blade attachment..
Add the garlic, Parmesan, pine nuts, lemon juice and salt to the food processor, and process until combined. Then, with the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until it is incorporated. As mentioned above, if the pesto seems too thick, you can add in a bit of pasta water to thin it out once the pesto is tossed with the pasta.
If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and hashtag it #gimmesomeoven. I'd love to see what you cook!

Brussels, 1 st March 2010
Telecoms: mobile phone customers entitled to protection from data-roaming "bill shock" as from 1 st March 2010
As from 1st March 2010, European mobile phone operators are obliged under EU roaming rules to offer their customers a cut-off limit facility to protect them from 'bill shocks' for surfing the Internet with their mobile phones and laptops while travelling in other EU countries. Under the roaming rules adopted by the EU's Council of Ministers and European Parliament in June 2009 (see IP/09/1064 and MEMO/09/309 ), this cut-off mechanism will, following a warning, cut consumers' mobile connection to the internet while abroad when their bill reaches a specified limit.
Digital Agenda Commissioner Neelie Kroes commented "Protection against data roaming bill shocks is a useful step towards building customers' confidence to use mobile networks to surf the Internet when travelling around Europe. Such confidence is essential if people and businesses are to use the Internet to its full potential".
Under roaming Regulation ( N° 544/2009) , mobile phone operators are obliged to offer their customers from 1 st March 2010 a monthly cut-off limit of €50. They can also offer customers any other limit. They will receive a warning when they hit 80% of the chosen limit. Until 1 July 2010, customers need to make a deliberate choice in order to benefit from a cut-off limit. But, customers who do not make a choice by 1 July 2010 will have the cut-off limit set at €50 by default as from that date.
The cut-off limit available from 1 st March 2010 will guarantee more transparency and protection for consumers, and it will ensure that they will no longer face bill shocks for using data roaming services. As an example of the problem, in 2009, a German traveller downloading a TV programme while roaming in France faced a bill of no less than €46 000. In another recent example, a UK student was reported as receiving a bill of almost €9 000 for data roaming during a single month while studying abroad.
Thanks to the EU's roaming rules, the price that operators pay each other per megabyte (MB) downloaded has been limited to a safeguard level of 1€ per MB, and it will fall over the next two years. These savings should be passed on to consumers and deliver lower prices for surfing the Internet while abroad.
Member States' national telecoms regulators are responsible for ensuring that mobile phone operators comply with the rules on cut-off mechanisms for data roaming in each EU country. Consumers can contact the national regulator in the Member State where they reside if they encounter any problems or have concerns over these cut off limits.
For its part, the European Commission will continue to monitor developments in roaming services and the correct implementation of these provisions, in close cooperation with BEREC , the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications, which held its first meeting on 28 th January 2010. The Commission will analyse the functioning of the roaming Regulation, including the provisions on data roaming, in an interim report due in June 2010 and in a more extensive review in June 2011.
For more information please visit the European Commission's roaming website: http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/roaming/index_en.htm
