I am not, for the most part, a superstitious person. But one thing i do believe in is my own ability to jinx myself.
Case in point: This post. Which i started writing in early December. I knew i shouldn't have tempted the fates!
I know there are, like, 20-some days left in 2014, but i am seriously hoping to just run out the clock on this year.
Winter Quarter, school-wise, was dreadful. I don't want to talk about it. To cheer me up, Andy and i spent the last day of the term squinting at the finances and realizing that we could, after all, finally pay off our student loans in total. I took out my 1st student loan in January of 1991, so this was incredibly monumental. I got drunk on the reality of being student-loan-free, and then i got drunk on sake.
I reveled in the idea of spring break by plucking a Le Guin book off our shelves. I'd been thinking of re-reading the Earthsea cycle again, but wanted to wait on that to really treat myself later in the year when i could lavish time on it1 From amongst Lathe of Heaven and Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed, i somehow wound up grabbing the latter. And it was utterly amazing.
Which was good, because it meant i had something engrossing on-hand to read when, the weekend that spring break was ending, i found myself visiting 2 different ERs 3 times total.
First, we had to take our Eleanor cat in to see why she kept throwing up. They found a mass in her intestine. She spent most of the weekend there, but Sunday morning we picked her up to bring her home for a brief reprieve before the Monday-morning surgery to remove as much of the mass as they could.
Sunday afternoon, i got a call from Andy that he'd gotten injured during parkour and would be going to the ER. Turned out he'd torn his Achilles tendon. The ER thought he might need surgery. Ultimately he didn't, hooray! But on Sunday i figured i spent all of 6 hours not in an ER somewhere. Thank goodness for The Dispossessed!!!
All of April was a blur. Eleanor's mass turned out to be from a pretty aggressive cancer. We had to feed her thru' a tube in her neck. And Andy was in a boot and on crutches the entire month. I wound up not taking any class whatsoever.
And at the very end of April, Andy emailed our real estate agent to tell him we'd be taking a break from looking for a house to buy. Naturally just 3 days later i found the perfect place — in fact, the exact place we'd been dreaming of getting, maybe, some day, if we were extremely lucky. That was a Friday night. Saturday our agent took us to see the place. Sunday Andy (now upgraded to just a cane) and i returned for the open house. Monday we crunched numbers and told our agent we were going for it.
Thursday evening we signed the papers for mutual agreement. And 5 minutes later were in a Zipcar taking Eleanor to the vet to have her put to sleep.
Then there was all the house-buying paperwork. WisCon in there somewhere. More paperwork. The bank taking their sweet time about closing. We moved closing one week. We juggled around amongst several movers and floor-refinishers. The bank was still taking their sweet time. We moved closing another week. We took a too-brief trip to the Oregon coast to visit Andy's mother and grandfather. We drove all the way from the coast back up to Seattle in order to meet the mobile notary who led us through a humongous stack of papers in order to officially buy our new home.
So much for that feeling of being (credit card aside) debt-free after paying off the student loans!
Annnnd then our internet company turned out to be a bag of assholes and we had no internet for the entire month of July.
After that, things pretty much settled. I feel like i've been spending this latter half of the year trying to make up for all the stressed sleep of the first half of the year.
These next 20-some days better be perfectly quiet and lovely.
- Note: This has yet to happen. [sadface] [↩]

Lincoln is an upcoming 2012 biographical drama film directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln and Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln. The film is based on Doris Kearns Goodwin's biography of Lincoln, Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. Filming began Monday, October 17, 2011 and ended on December 19, 2011. The film is scheduled for release on November 9, 2012, by DreamWorks through Disney's Touchstone distribution label in the U.S. and internationally by 20th Century Fox. Filming took place in Richmond, Virginia, and Petersburg, Virginia, and the film is now in post-production. Virginia offered a $4.6 million package of aid, tax credits, and in-kind donations to attract the film production to the state.
DreamWorks has announced that the film "will focus on the political collision of Lincoln and the powerful men of his cabinet on the road to abolition and the end of the Civil War." According to Spielberg, Doris Kearns Goodwin's entire book about Lincoln's presidency is "much too big" for a film, and said that the film will focus on the last few months of Lincoln's life, the ending of slavery and the Union victory in the Civil War. Spielberg said that "what permanently ended slavery was the very close vote in the House of Representatives over the 13th Amendment that story I'm excited to tell." Spielberg plans to show "Lincoln at work, not just Lincoln standing around posing for the history books...arguably the greatest working President in American history doing some of the greatest work for the world." Screenwriter Tony Kushner has said that he worked on the script for six years and that he was very interested in "the relationship of Lincoln to the abolitionist left" and that Lincoln's "incredible ability to finesse very, very treacherous political circumstances and continue to move the country forward, I mean, to lead the country forward in the midst of the most horrendously difficult period in its history, I think, is breathtaking and awe-inspiring." In Team of Rivals, Goodwin describes the following episodes of the final months of Lincoln's life in detail: The fight in the House of Representatives over proposing the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution abolishing slavery forever, which succeeded on January 31, 1865 The unsuccessful Hampton Roads Conference, which took place on February 3, 1865, at which Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward met with three Peace Commissioners from the Confederate States of America Lincoln's second inaugural address, delivered March 4, 1865 Lincoln's 18-day trip to visit General Ulysses S. Grant at his headquarters at City Point, Virginia, starting March 23, 1865. He was accompanied for parts of his trip by his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, and both of his living sons. Lincoln also met with General William Tecumseh Sherman on April 1, and later that day Petersburg, Virginia fell to the Union Army. Lincoln visited Petersburg the following day. The Confederate capital, Richmond, Virginia, fell on April 3, and Lincoln visited there on April 4. Seward was seriously injured in a carriage accident in Washington on April 5, and Lincoln returned to the White House on April 9, 1865, and immediately visited Seward. On the evening of April 9, Lincoln received a telegram informing him that General Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia had surrendered at Appomattox Court House, in Virginia. For all practical purposes, the war was then over. Lincoln's final cabinet meeting on April 14, 1865, where he discussed his plans for Reconstruction Lincoln's visit to Ford's Theater that night, where he was fatally shot by John Wilkes Booth, at the same time that William Seward was seriously wounded in a separate but coordinated attack by Lewis Powell Cast Daniel Day-Lewis as President Abraham Lincoln Liam Neeson was originally cast as Abraham Lincoln in January 2005. In preparation for the role, Neeson studied Lincoln extensively. However, in July 2010, Neeson left the project, saying that he was "too old to play the former commander-in-chief". In November 2010, it was announced that Day-Lewis would replace Neeson in the role. Doris Kearns Goodwin described Lincoln in his final months as a leader with "the rare wisdom of a temperament that consistently displayed an uncommon magnanimity to those who opposed him". Producer Kathleen Kennedy described Day-Lewis's performance as "remarkable" after 75% of the filming had been completed, and said, "Every day you get the chills thinking that Lincoln is sitting there right in front of you." Kennedy described Day-Lewis's method acting immersion into the role: "He is very much deeply invested and immersed throughout the day when he's in character, but he's very accessible at the end of the day, once he can step outside of it and not feel that I mean, he's given huge scenes with massive amounts of dialogue and he needs to stay in character, it's a very, very performance-driven movie." Sally Field as First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln Field was first announced to join the cast as early as September 2007, but officially joined the cast in April 2011. Field said, "To have the opportunity to work with Steven Spielberg and Daniel Day-Lewis and to play one of the most complicated and colorful women in American history is simply as good as it gets". Spielberg said, "she has always been my first choice to portray all the fragility and complexity that was Mary Todd Lincoln". Joseph Gordon-Levitt as their oldest son, recent Harvard graduate and new Union Army captain Robert Todd Lincoln Robert Todd Lincoln had returned to the White House on April 14, 1865 to visit his family, and his father was assassinated that night. Gulliver McGrath as Tad Lincoln Tad was 12 years old, and toured Richmond, Virginia, with his father. Tommy Lee Jones as Radical Republican Congessional leader Thaddeus Stevens A fervent abolitionist, Stevens feared that Lincoln would "turn his back on emancipation." Stevens "excoriated him on the floor of the House" for meeting with a Confederate peace delegation. David Strathairn as Secretary of State William Seward According to John Hay, "The history of governments affords few instances of an official connection hallowed by a friendship so absolute and sincere as that which existed between these two magnanimous spirits", namely Seward and Lincoln. Seward had been seriously injured in a carriage accident nine days before Lincoln's assassination. He and his son Frederick W. Seward were attacked by Lewis Powell simultaneous with Lincoln's shooting, and were both severely injured but both survived. Lee Pace as former Mayor of New York City Fernando Wood Wood became a Copperhead Democratic Congessman sympathetic to the Confederacy Jackie Earle Haley as Vice President of the Confederate States of America Alexander H. Stephens Stephens had served with Lincoln in Congress from 1847 to 1849. He met with Abraham Lincoln on the steamboat River Queen at the unsuccessful Hampton Roads Conference on February 3, 1865 Gregory Itzin as John Archibald Campbell Campbell was a former Supreme Court Justice who had resigned at the start of war and then served as Assistant Secretary of War in the Confederate government. He was also a member of the Confederate delegation that met with Lincoln at the Hampton Roads Conference Bruce McGill as Secretary of War Edwin Stanton Stanton took charge of the investigation of the assassination plot Walton Goggins as Democratic Congessman Wells A. Hutchins Hutchins broke with his party to cast a decisive vote in favor of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution which abolished slavery Gloria Reuben as Elizabeth Keckley Keckley was a former slave who was dressmaker and confidant to Mary Todd Lincoln Jared Harris as Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant Commanded the Union Army from March 1864 and directed the strategy that led to Union Victory. Wayne Duvall as Radical Republican Senator Bluff Wade David Oyelowo as Ira Clark James Spader as Democratic Party operative William N. Bilboe Bilboe had been imprisoned but was freed by Lincoln, and then lobbied for passage of the Thirteenth Amendment. John Hawkes as Colonel Robert Latham Latham founded Lincoln College in 1865 Hal Holbrook (who won an Emmy portraying Lincoln in a 1976 mini-series) as Francis Preston Blair Blair was an influential Republican politician who tried to arrange a peace agreement between the Union and the Confederacy Tim Blake Nelson as Richard Schell Schell was politician who later represented New York in the United States House of Representatives. Joseph Cross as John Hay Hay was assistant and secretary to Abraham Lincoln David Costabile as James Ashley David Warshofsky Jeremy Strong as John George Nicolay Nicolay was secretary to Abraham Lincoln Dakin Matthews John Palmer Usher Usher was the Secretary of the Interior in Lincoln's cabinet Boris McGiver Byron Jennings as Montgomery Blair Blair was the son of Francis Preston Blair, was the former Postmaster-General and was a political opponent of the Radical Republicans Richard Topol as James Speed Speed was United States Attorney General and brother of Joshua Speed, Lincoln's oldest personal friend S. Epatha Merkerson as Lydia Smith Smith was Thaddeus Stevens's mulatto housekeeper. Stevens was a bachelor and Smith lived with him for many years. Julie White as Elizabeth Blair Lee Lee was the daughter of Francis Preston Blair, and wrote hundreds of letters documenting events during the Civil War Production While consulting on a Steven Spielberg project in 1999, Goodwin told Spielberg she was planning to write Team of Rivals, and Spielberg immediately told her he wanted the film rights. In 2001, Spielberg acquired the rights to the biography with the intent of using it as the basis for a film. John Logan was hired to write the script, and playwright Paul Webb and Tony Kushner rewrote it. Filming took place in Petersburg, Virginia. According to location manager Colleen Gibbons, "one thing that attracted the filmmakers to the city was the 180-degree vista of historic structures" which is "very rare". Lincoln toured Petersburg on April 3, 1865, the day after it fell to the Union Army. Scenes have been filmed at the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond, which served as the Capitol of the Confederacy during the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln visited the building on April 4, 1865, after Richmond fell to the Union Army.

Vanilla Coconut White Tea Rare White Tea Buds
Rare White Tea Buds
Fujian Province, China
White tea has a low amount of caffeine.
The lush flavors of naturally sweet vanilla and tropical coconut yield a delightfully bright and fragrant cup of White Tea.
To appreciate the unique, soft flavor and delicate nature of this tea, preparation is of the utmost importance, The water should be just short of boiling (175-185 degrees) and the tea should steep only 30-60 seconds.
Once reserved for the cups of emperors and nobility, this magnificent high mountain China White Tea still remains one of the rarest of all teas. It is painstakingly hand plucked only two days of the year, right before the leaf opens and then minimally processed. So small is the harvest, so high is the demand, that it is one of the world's most expensive teas. Modern research shows that White Tea retains the highest levels of powerful, health promoting polyphenols that can help build the immune system and reward sippers with a healthier life.

Quote of the Day, June 6, 2012
Our research shows that states' wage theft laws are grossly inadequate, contributing to a rising trend in workplace violations that affects millions of people throughout the country. The growth of this and other forms of the "underground economy" also have a serious impact on state revenues, amounting to billions of dollars per year in tax and payroll fraud.–excerpted from Progressive States Network's June 2012 Report, Where Wage Theft Is Legal: Mapping Wage Theft Laws in the 50 States
Wage theft happens when employees cheat workers out of their wages. There are many ways employers intentionally do this. Sometimes workers are pressured to work uncompensated overtime and to pay for safety equipment which should be provided by the employer. Some employers keep workers' tips and some simply pay less than the worker has earned. Sometimes workers are paid less than the minimum wage and sometimes workers are not paid at all. In her recent piece "Preying on the Poor," Economic Hardship Reporting Project's Barbara Ehrenreich cites an estimated $100 billion are stolen from low-wage workers in the U.S. each year.
Wage theft laws are intended to protect workers from wage theft. The new report from the Progressive States Network, Where Wage Theft Is Legal: Mapping Wage Theft Laws in the 50 States, looks at the inadequacy of these preventative laws state by state. They find that wage theft laws throughout the country fail workers. Another report, Broken Laws, Unprotected Workers, details similar findings in the three largest U.S. cities-Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City. These researchers find that workplace violations are widespread with 26% of low-wage workers receiving less than minimum wage at the time of the survey and 76% of those who working overtime hours were not paid the legal required overtime wage.
Some additional sources for information about the pervasive and virtually hidden epidemic of wage theft can be found in Susan Miloser's report for Washington & Lee School of Law: Picking Pockets for Profit, Interfaith Worker Justice, and The National Employment Law Project's "Winning Wage Justice: A Summary of Wage and Hour Violations in the United States."

I currently have Ubuntu 10 (Or 11) on my laptop but no Internet access so I can't use Update Manager. I want to burn a disc from (this) Windows computer to take home for the upgrade. Will this be exactly the same process as burning and installing straight from Windows? The instructions clearly state that to burn a disc from Windows is to install from Windows, no actual burn disc from Windows and update previous Ubuntu OS instruction.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
When you create a disk (whether burnt on a DVD or on a USB stick), it's a bootable disk that you can use from start-up whether the computer in question has Windows, Ubuntu, both, another OS entirely, or has been completely screwed up by an interesting experiment and no longer has any OS on it at all (which is just as well for some of us).
The lack of an internet connection would of course prevent you from updating what you have, or installing anything that isn't included in the ISO. It might be better to take the laptop to the connection, than the Ubuntu to the laptop.
Still, a disk burnt from within Windows does not require Windows to be on the target machine.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: A victim of its own success.In full: The atmosphere was amazing and the locals were extremely supportive. The organisation was etremely good as well, however paying for the bus seemed a little steep when you consider just how much it was to enter the race. Whilst we are on the subject of cost - that alone would put me off ever entering again. It cost as much to enter as many marathons do!! As it stands, its a fantastic spectacle for the North East however I believe that it has become a victim of its own success. Just too many people.Date of review: October 16, 2007
In short: Excellent organisation. Fantastic first class marshallers.Wind!!! Arghhhhhhh!!!!In full: The first half was varied and scenic with good support. The second half lacked the support and the 2-3 mile stretch up and down the rowing centre was a little demoralising due to the wind. By the way, can we cancel the wind next year. Marshallers were the best I have ever encountered. Every single one urged you on and offered bags of support. Thankyou all. Organisation was great with ample parking. All this and a PB. Will be back. Date of review: September 18, 2007
In short: Great marshallers, organization, and varyibg scenery.In full: Good race, well organized with very supportive marshallers (especially pom pom girls). My only small gripe is that due to narrow phoenix trail, it wasn't ideal for overtaking. Nonetheless, good training run. Date of review: June 25, 2007
In short: No chance of a PB yet who cares. Just enjoy the race!!In full: Great organization. The train breaking down could have happened at any time. The crowd were awsome and that last mile past Big Ben and then into the Mall. Wow! Thats the part that makes you determined to come back year after year.Date of review: April 26, 2007
In short: Friendly marshallers, great weather. Good PB potential.In full: Friendly, supportive marshallers and great weather combined for a great plodders run. Good course but a little too much winding residential mileage. Other than that part, quite nice scenery and a good chance for a PB. Date of review: November 19, 2006

Thank you for logging on to freedomvillageusa.com. This page will give you an overview of our program, in an attempt to answer your general questions and paint a picture of what our program is about. Freedom Village is a residential home for troubled teenagers located in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of western Central New York. Our rural campus, overlooking Seneca Lake, is ten minutes north of Watkins Glen, NY on NY Route 14. Freedom Village is a private, faith based home. We operate on the faithful giving of supporters and are in no way affiliated with New York State. Our twelve month program is voluntary, meaning that it is necessary for the young people to commit to a year at Freedom Village. In light of these facts, we are not a lock down facility or detention center. Young people cannot be remanded to Freedom Village. On the other hand, we have had numerous judges, lawyers, and probation officers allow young people to come to Freedom Village in lieu of a sentence when this is presented by the family. Young people come to Freedom Village from all walks of life. While we are obviously a Christian home for teens, we accept students regardless of race, creed or religion. Students come to our program for many reasons; for some, our program is more of a preventative measure for a young person who is clearly on the wrong track. For others, Freedom Village is their last hope before prison or a lifestyle certain to lead to death. Young people come to Freedom Village because of drugs, violence, depression, suicide, abuse, abandonment, and any number of other issues. Our campus consists of two separate dormitories – one for boys and one for girls. At any given time, there are 200 young people in residence. Freedom Village offers an on-campus academy, where young people complete their education. Students also attend chapel services on campus. Chapel is Monday-Friday every morning after breakfast. Freedom Village provides young people with a structured program, in a sheltered environment, aimed at fostering responsibility and keeping things fun and interesting. Daily chores and schoolwork are complemented by time in the recreation room. Friday night activities are a highlight of the week, engaging students in fun sports or games, and winning awesome prizes! In addition to the daily routine, there is an abundance of activities aimed at grabbing the interest of a variety of young people. For those interested, there is an extensive horse program that gives the young people an opportunity to care for a horse and become a skilled rider. There is a sailing program that allows young people the chance to try their hand at sailing and enjoy beautiful Seneca Lake. There is also an extensive interscholastic sports program for boys and girls that include soccer, basketball, volleyball, football and cheerleading. In addition, there are numerous outreach opportunities that the young people may involve themselves in. All of this is aimed to provide young people with an environment in which they feel comfortable and safe, so that God can begin to work in their lives. Ultimately, our goal is that a young person will get to the place where they are willing to trust God with their problems, and to let Him transform their life. God's Word is illuminated through daily devotions and powerful preaching. When combined with the love and discipline young people receive from a caring, experienced staff, it is our goal that they come to trust in the Lord as the answer for their life. Finally, it is important to answer a couple of questions that you are bound to ask. First, young people are required to write home on a weekly basis, and phone calls are optional once a week. They also may call home once a week. Family visits are encouraged after 3 months has passed (allowing a student to overcome their inevitable homesickness). These visits may occur once a month. The second time "off property" will be allotted based on the progress of the young person in the program. Second, it is important to mention finances. Freedom Village is a private home that relies on supporters' giving. We take no state or Federal aid. In light of this, it is important that students' families financially support their child during his/ her stay. On the other hand, we do not want to turn away a young person who needs this opportunity because of money. That being said, there is an entrance fee of $500 US for a young person to enter the program. We encourage families to seek help from members of their extended family or their church if they cannot meet this amount. At intake, a member of our financial department will meet with the family and determine what they can realistically contribute to their child's stay, on a monthly basis. While it costs nearly $3750 a month for each young person to remain in our program, many families pay less than that amount. We do not want money to be an obstacle. In conclusion, we hope that you found this information useful. We trust that you have read the testimonies of changed lives and have hope God will meet your child's needs as well. We encourage you to contact us with further questions or to initiate the intake process. Please call our intake department at 607-243-8126 or e-mail us at our Intake Dept. firstname.lastname@example.com Thank you and God bless!

Applications » Human EEG/ERP » BC Interface
Brain Computer Interface
Brain computer interface (BCI) applications are a study in complexity. Not only does the amplifier system need to record precision data, but the data throughput from the amplifier to the recording software needs to be carefully considered. Sensorium has a long history and tradition of ensuring the highest quality data. To this end, the hardware and software are co-developed for a seamless system to ensure not only data quality but timing as well.
The DBPA amplifier and acquisition software work together as an excellent foundation for BCI applications. The software allows for features in the data can be used to trigger analog output signals which in turn can control third party devices, prosthetics and video systems. With the ultimate goal of real time analysis, single trial information, feature extraction and short latency analysis are critical in the success of BCI applications. Therefore, the data quality afforded by the EEG/ERP amplifier system has a direct and critical impact on the quality of the BCI system itself.
Sensorium has spent decades defining excellence in EEG applications. Our commitment to BCI comes naturally as BCI applications require the best data possible, and when possible, single trial extraction of evoked brain activity. Sensorium has worked with customers and industry to develop custom solutions for specific BCI applications and our standard systems are used around the globe in BCI projects.

Spain May Take Legal Action Against Germany Over E. coli Scare
Spain is considering legal action against German authorities for saying that Spanish vegetables may be to blame for an E. coli outbreak that has killed more than a dozen and sickened hundreds, according to the Associated Press. Spain has complained that German authorities pointed the finger at Spanish produce before the result of tests were known. The allegations have virtually paralyzed exports of Spanish fruit and vegetables, causing major financial losses. After days of uncertainty Hamburg officials said that tests showed that Spanish cucumbers which were examined had traces of a dangerous strain of E. coli bacteria, but not the one that caused the outbreak. Spanish farmers said they are still calculating their losses and damage to others hit by fear of Spanish produce.

The Bureau of Jewish Education (BJE) is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a visit to the Borscht Belt, where a generation of Jewish immigrants escaped for celebrations and community, with "The Catskills of Orange County" on Oct. 6 at Temple Bat Yahm in Newport Beach.
Seating assignments mean checking in at one of the old bungalow hotels, such as Grossinger's. The menu? Brisket, of course.
The event's headliner is Noodles Levenstein, who is described as "a mix of Henney Youngman and Jerry Seinfeld." The Orange County Klezmer band will perform medleys.
Dinner honorees include six people who supported specific youth programs and two BJE directors, Ida Marks Meltzer and Joan S. Kaye.
Proceeds will help support a leadership program that reaches 500 teens, training for synagogue teachers and adult education classes.

Riding a bicycle is environmentally-friendly, great exercise, and just plain fun. Unfortunately, it can also be dangerous. In Maryland, there were a total of 686 pedal cycle-involved crashes in 2009, leaving 10 people dead and 578 people injured. Bicycles are considered vehicles in Maryland, and as such, cyclists must devote as much attention to riding a bike as they would when operating an automobile. Equally as important, motorists must allow cyclists the same respect and caution they would allow another automobile.
By Maryland law, bicycles are vehicles, and bicyclists have rights and responsibilities just as do drivers of motor vehicles – but bicycles are less visible, quieter, and don't have a protective barrier around them. Bicyclists fare best when they act like and are treated as drivers of vehicles.
Maryland law provides for the right-of-way of bicyclists, just as it does for the operators of motor vehicles. Bicyclists also have the duty to obey all traffic signals, signs and pavement markings, just as do drivers.
Where there are marked bicycle lanes paved to a smooth surface, a person operating a bicycle must use the bike lane and may not ride on the roadway, except in the following situations:
The Maryland highway safety program includes a comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle safety program that promotes safe pedestrian and bicycle practices, educates drivers to share the road safely with other road users, and encourages safe facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists through a combination of education and engineering strategies. In 2009 the Street Smart program was expanded to include the Baltimore metropolitan region. Managed through a grant with the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, the Baltimore Street Smart campaign has successfully administered media and public outreach efforts.
This campaign operates with the Washington Area Bicyclists Association (WABA), and continues to promote the Maryland Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Education Program in collaboration with the Maryland Safe Routes to School program. Bicycle and pedestrian safety training trailers are used to educate children on basic pedestrian safety issues and bicycle operation skills.
RTSP partners distributed more than 200,000 pieces of educational material in 2011, including Street Smart branded materials, school system electronic pedestrian safety alerts, pedestrian safety law cards, booklets for school aged children, copies of the Bicycling in Maryland booklet and the DVD Competence and Confidence: an Adults Guide to Safe Cycling, and other materials.
The Maryland Department of Transportation, under a grant from MHSO, is developing a training video for law enforcement agencies and officers on traffic law enforcement for bicyclist safety.
BikeMaryland, under a grant from MHSO, is developing a bicycle safety outreach program for the Baltimore City area, targeting high risk areas and populations.

IN SHAKESPEARE's day, apothecaries treated memory loss in the elderly with sage and lemon balm, while 2500 years ago the Greek physician Hippocrates recommended wormwood. They may have been on to somethingall these herbs have similar effects to drugs used to treat Alzheimer's disease. And two of them are already undergoing clinical trials.
The brains of Alzheimer's patients lose nicotinic receptors, one of the two types of receptor for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Increasing the levels of acetylcholine in the brain can help alleviate cognitive problems. Several drugs companies are now testing drugs that stimulate nicotinic receptors, which not only simulates a boost in acetylcholine levels but can also lead to the production of new receptors.
Elaine Perry of the University of Newcastle wondered if the herbal remedies exploited the same mechanism. She and her colleagues made ethanol extracts of various species of sage, the related herb lemon balm (

comparing focal length equivalency regarding MP

Not sure if my question is correctly framed but here goes.
For example if a M 4/3 sensor with 16 mp is compared to a M 4/3 12 mp sensor and both cameras have a 28 x 84 mm equivalent lens and I crop the 16 mp image to 12 mp does the cropped image provide a 25% increase in comparative focal length?
You would need a 15% increase in focal length (square root of 16 / 12 = 1.15) to achieve the same framing as cropping 16MP to 12MP.

Dancing With The Stars
A Somber Jaleel White Discusses His Stressful Week on Dancing With the Stars (VIDEO)
Unfortunately, this has probably been Jaleel White's Most Memorable Week — just not in a good way. The Dancing With the Stars celeb had to deal with abuse allegations from his ex-girlfriend Bridget Hardy — also the mother of their child — followed by tabloid reports that he and his Season 14 partner Kym Johnson got into a heated argument during Week 3 rehearsals.
Jaleel and Kym have both talked about their argument being exaggerated and Jaleel sat down with Nancy O'Dell of Entertainment Tonight in a long interview to share his side of the abuse story.
Wetpaint Entertainment was the first to report Jaleel's reaction to the abuse claims, saying that the "timing is impeccable." During the ET interview, Jaleel went into more depth about the abuse claims and his crazy week, telling Nancy he feels "vulnerable" and wants to say a lot but feels like he shouldn't. But he argues that the reports that have been coming out are "are all not true."
"Couples argue, that's normal," Jaleel said. "I'm not going to pretend like we didn't have any arguments, obviously we broke up. But to say verbal abuse, and to come out with that during Dancing with the Stars, when this is an old child custody case matter that was settled in 2010, this is not a new story. It was an attack on my joy."
To Jaleel, Bridget's motivation for selling the story to Star Magazine was money to capitalize on his visibility being on the show. Also, he said, some people have the attitude that if we're not going to be together as a couple you want the other person to be miserable. To him, she has that attitude. But they can't wish that on each other, he said, because they have a beautiful child together.
Watch Jaleel on the next Dancing With the Stars performance on Monday, April 9 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Rutabagas are often thought of as yellow turnips but actually bear the botanical name Brassica napus and belong to the highly prized family of cruciferous vegetables. The rutabaga, a relatively newcomer in the world of vegetables, is thought to have evolved from a cross between a wild cabbage and a turnip. The earliest records of rutabaga's existence are from the seventeenth century in Southern Europe where they were first eaten as well as used for animal fodder. It's curious that throughout history animals were often fed the healthiest foods, foods thought to be inappropriate for human consumption.
Because rutabagas thrive best in colder climates, they became popular in Scandinavia, but especially in Sweden, the country that earned them the name "swedes." In Europe, rutabagas are still called swedes. In America, rutabagas were first cultivated in the northern parts of the country in the early 1800s. Canada and the northern states are today's greatest producers of the rutabaga.
The rutabaga is a root vegetable that looks very much like a turnip with yellow-orange flesh and ridges at its neck. Although this beta carotene-rich vegetable has been grown and marketed in our country for nearly 200 years, it remains an uncommon food in American dining. It's actually a great tasting vegetable with a delicate sweetness and flavor that hints of the light freshness of cabbage and turnip. With its easy preparation and versatility, great nutrition, and excellent flavor, the rutabaga can easily become an endearing family favorite.
Because rutabagas store so well, up to one month in the refrigerator and up to four months in commercial storage at 32 degrees, they are available year round. Planted in May and June, they're harvested in late summer and early fall when their flavor is at its peak. Ideally, it's best to shop for fresh rutabagas at farmer's markets in early autumn.

Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy Stephanie Edwards: Intern Report Card — Should She Stay?
This season on Grey's Anatomy, we met a new crop of interns and got to watch as they learned to navigate their way through the surgical training program — and the drama that ensues. One lucky intern, Dr. Stephanie Edwards (Jerrika Hinton), even jumped right into a relationship with one of our favorite doctors, Jackson Avery!
It's time to find out how well Stephanie has done so far in her first year as a surgical intern! We will be grading her on her intelligence, or surgical skills, her interaction with the other doctors, and how interested she keeps us in finding out what will happen to her next.
Let's see how she did!
Intelligence: Incomplete. It's hard to judge Stephanie's surgical skills when we haven't seen much of them yet. Maybe next season we will get to test her medical smarts.
Interaction: C. Cristina calls her Grumpy, and not for no reason — Stephanie's crankiness only seems to subside when she's around her boyfriend, Jackson. But we have a feeling Jackson's going to break her heart in the future — be careful, Stephanie!
Interest: B-. Outside of her relationship with Jackson, Stephanie wasn't given a lot of screen time this season, unless it was to throw in a snarky comment here and there (Cristina 2.0, anyone?). We would love to see Stephanie spend more time in the OR next time around!
Final grade: C.
Do want Stephanie to stick around the hospital? Sound off in the comments below!
Catch the next new episode of Grey's Anatomy on Thursday, April 25, 2013, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

London Vintage Bus Tour and River Thames Cruise
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the London Vintage Bus Tour and River Thames Cruise. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
This was an awesome tour. Our guide was amazing.
Great mix of bus and boat. Fantastic introduction to main tourist sites in Westminster. Highly recommended guide.
We liked the tour and the stops at Westminster, the Thames River cruise, St James Palace, the changing of the guards there and the walk with the guards to Buckingham Palace. Nick, our guide, was excellent, giving us the extraordinary English history in a colorful manner. The 'free lunch' was not free, as one of our party is allergic to fish, we changed one item on the menu and were charged full price, even though the non-fish choice was less expensive! Yes, we would take another tour with this company.
This was a great tour. It takes you to all the sites and the guide was great.
A wonderful experience, even the dull weather didn't spoil our trip. The courier was polite very organised and with her knowledge we had possibly the best view of the guards and band as the front of Buckingham palace is always crowded, we all managed to get some lovely photos.
Finishing at Harrods we enjoyed being pampered with a wonderful lunch.
Thank you all so much.
Great tour guide
The tour could have used a little more information on the pickup point with some signs where and which gate the bus would be leaving from. No information was available in the terminal and we really had to walk throughout the terminal several times before stumbling upon the correct location of departure. Overall a fast paced city tour that really crams a lot into the short allotted time frame. This still, was a pretty good value for the amount of sights visited and the commentary added by a well educated guide.
Excellent guide, tour and routemaster....but victoria bus station was too grouded and it really was difficult to find the right departure place!
Enjoyed the day. Guide was very informative. Enjoyed opportunity to stretch legs some as well.
This was my first tour in London and finding Victoria Coach station was a challenge. The directions from the subway/tube station was not clear and the signage along the roads not at every intersection. Maybe a different pickup location would be better. The tour itself was informative and loved hopping on and off the bus to see Westminster Abbey and the changing of the guards at Buckingham palace. Thoroughly enjoyed having lunch at Harrods after the tour. Our tour guide was energetic and very pleasant.
Everything was wonderful on this trip except the lunch at Harrod's (Italian Restaurant) which was a complete disaster. The meal took about 3 hours to complete. It took about 30 min. to get a glass of water and we left before coffee. I would recommend never to use them again.

The Kardashians
Producer The-Dream on Kim Kardashian's New Single: She Actually Pulled It Off
If you've been patiently waiting to hear Kim Kardashian's debut single "Turn It Up", you may not have to wait much longer. According to Kim and her producer The-Dream, the single is about three weeks away from hitting the radio airwaves.
"I think we're going to debut it on KIIS with Ryan Seacrest," The-Dream revealed to MTV. "I hope I'm not getting in trouble!"
He also said that Kim skeptics may be surprised that the celebutante actually pulled it off.
"I think in life, there are things you have to get yourself to do, and it's not always about whether you're better than anyone else, it's about what you can put out and pull out of yourself, and she was able to pull something out of herself that a lot of people didn't think that she could," Dream said.
The song's proceeds, The-Dream pointed out, will largely go to charity.
"One of the things that people didn't know about the song is half of the proceeds are going to [support] cancer [research]," he said. "[Kim's] father passed away from cancer, my mother also passed away from cancer when I was 15, so I decided we should give a lot of the money back."
"A lot of people don't know that because they make conversation about the other part," meaning the hype behind the reality star's foray into music.
Kim didn't reveal too much about what we can expect, but she did let us in on what not to expect: Beyoncé.
"I was really honest," she said on the Grammy red carpet. "I'm like, 'You're not gonna get Beyoncé here, you're not gonna get Celine Dion,' and he really pulled something out of me. ... I was just so nervous."

"My name is Mike Fusilli, I am a former Ithaca College wrestler. About two weeks ago my daughter's boyfriend, Sherwood Fendryk (a 2007 Sacred Heart University graduate, NCAA Division I qualifier, NWCA academic all-american, and NYS Champion) was in a tragic motorcycle accident. He spent two weeks in an Intensive Care Unit and was recently moved to a general population room. Unfortunately, Sherwood lost most of his lower left leg. Sherwood is not just a great athlete, but one of the best young men you will ever have a chance to meet.
As you can imagine, there will be many bills associated with this accident. Therefore, I am organizing a benefit for Sherwood. I am hoping that you will be interested in helping promote this within the wrestling community. I will be collecting pledges/donations for a 50 mile walk that I will perform (Ithaca, NY to Binghamton, NY). I will be looking for a per mile donation/pledge.
If you are interested in helping promote this benfit, please let me know and I will forward the bank information to you .

Unexpected Links between Egyptian and Babylonian Mathematics, Jöran Friberg, 2005. xii + 294 pp., $64.00 hardbound. ISBN 981-256-328-8. World Scientific Publishing Col, 5 Toh Tuck Link, Singapore 596224.
Teachers of mathematics and history of mathematics often use examples from ancient Egyptian and Babylonian sources to show the variety and sophistication of millennia-old mathematics. Although examples from these two cultures are often demonstrated in the same class, rarely does a teacher show connections between the two. Mainly, this is because scholars generally have thought there were few connections, if any.
However, Jöran Friberg, a noted scholar of ancient Babylonian mathematics who has also written about Babylonian roots of Greek mathematics, took a more careful look, especially at some cuneiform tablets from the ancient town of Mari. Mari was farther west than most Babylonian sites and closer to the trade routes to the Mediterranean (and hence to Egypt). He found variations in the numeration system, making it closer to Egypt's base ten. But more significantly, he found problems that resembled some of the examples in Egyptian papyri, including some of the famous problems, such as the problem of the sum of powers of seven, noted as similar to the nursery rhyme about the man with seven wives on the road to St. Ives. He also found similarities in calculation techniques, linear algebra problems, and the well-known calculation of the volume of a truncated square pyramid. Notably, the connections appear at several different chronological periods, from early in the second millennium BCE up through the Egyptian-Greek-Roman work at the start of the Common Era.
Friberg concludes that there are many links that had previously not been noticed. This book is very technical (with detailed references to actual papyri and cuneiform texts) and could not be easily used in a class setting. However, the links he points out could be described to demonstrate that ancient mathematics was not just a collection of interesting examples, but a commerce of ideas that would later become the foundation of Western mathematics.

|By Jay Calderon | October 20, 2012 | Comments
On what it's been like in WWE this time around and working with C.M. Punk: "I'm having an absolute blast, it's the best of all circumstances. ... Because I'm working with people I absolutely adore working with. I originally came back to work with Brock Lesnar and I couldn't think of a better scenario to come back to WWE (than) with Brock. Then, after Summerslam when Brock went away, I was going away, too, and then came the opportunity to work with C.M. Punk.
"In the same vein that I could think of a better way to return than with Brock Lesnar, I couldn't think of someone I would like to play with as the WWE champion more than C.M. Punk. It's funny that WWE is promoting a Rolling Stones pay-per-view because I feel like we're Mick and Keith out there every week. We get a chance to do out thing, we're winging it half the time -- it's like a jam session with two guys that love music. It's a jam session in the realm of sports entertainment/professional wrestling with two guys who have always wanted to work with each other and never had the opportunity to do so. It's a whole different way for me to play this character, it's a whole new character for me to play."
On how his character is different working with C.M. Punk: "Because I've never really been the silent guy, I've always been the one that did the talking for the monster or the guy that advocates the position for his client to the extent that I'm doing the majority of the talking. On this one, I shouldn't do the majority of the talking, I should just be the guy that stands behind him and holds the title in the air. It's a totally different way to play it because I'm the guy that he gets to bounce off instead of the guy that literally carries the message for him.
"With Brock, I did all the talking and I advocated the position and then he backed it up in the ring. With Punk, it would not make any sense for me to do all the talking. I should do very little talking. 'Ladies and gentleman, my name is Paul Heyman and I'm here to represent the WWE champion C.M. Punk,' and then boom. That's all I should really every say. So, it's a Meyer Lansky-type of position more so than the guy that it up front completely delivering the message for -- by way of example -- Brock Lesnar."
On his on-air confrontations with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon and blurring the line between story lines and shoots: "I think that one of the luxuries that I have been afforded since I've come back is that the line has been blurred since day one with me. When I came on TV the first night and made the statement that Brock Lesnar is the only man in history to hold the NCAA division I Heavyweight championship, the WWE Heavyweight championship and the UFC Heavyweight championship -- no one had brought that up on television. I brought it up.
"The second week I'm on television, I have a confrontation with Triple H and I make the statement that I don't understand how you bring a fighter into a sports entertainment company and then complain when he wants to fight. One of the things that really worked well for me is that, although it's in the realm of the story line, there's nothing that I'm saying that I don't truly believe in. I believe in everything I'm saying, I really do. It's not hard for me to advocate for Brock Lesnar, I'm a huge fan of his.

Tiptoeing to the Right on Abortion
DENVER -- At an opening interfaith prayer ceremony at the Democratic convention Sunday, an evangelical minister spoke about saving unborn children. During another official convention event, a "faith caucus" on Tuesday, a former congressman urged the elimination of 95% of all abortions in the next decade.
On the fiery issue of abortion, the Democratic Party has been taking small but notable steps to the right -- continuing to vigorously support abortion rights but adding more support for family-planning and other educational services that would "reduce the need for abortions."
These steps, some begun years ago, are part of the emphasis the party will place in the rest of the campaign on wooing religious voters, many of whom have been unwilling in the past to vote for a Democrat because of the party's long-standing belief that women should be allowed to end their pregnancies at will.
"In 2004, we couldn't get a word in. This time, they reached out to us," says Kristen Day, executive director of Democrats for Life, a six-year-old advocacy organization that sponsored a convention gathering that featured antiabortion Democratic Rep. Lincoln Davis of Tennessee. "The big tent is opening up."
The platform states that the party "strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade," the 1973 Supreme Court decision affirming abortion rights, "and a woman's right to choose a safe and legal abortion." But it asserts that the party "also strongly supports access to comprehensive affordable family planning services and age-appropriate sex education" that "help reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and thereby also reduce the need for abortions." About 1.2 million abortions are performed each year in the U.S.
"This platform, for the first time, acknowledges and supports a decision to exercise choice in a different direction, to carry a child to term," says Michael Yaki, the national platform director for the Democratic National Committee. "The core value, a woman's right to choose, has not been compromised at all."
Some members of women's groups say they fear the Democrats are retreating just to capture evangelical and Catholic voters who flocked to President George W. Bush during the 2004 election.
"It pains me that our party holds this pro-life view," says Marjorie Signer, a spokeswoman for the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, a national nonprofit group made up of groups from 15 denominations. "I have a big problem reducing the number" of abortions. How would that be achieved, she asks -- "by cutting off access and making [abortion] impossible to get?"
Antiabortion groups are pressing for a more radical shift. Ms. Day says her goal for 2012 is "not having strong Roe v. Wade language in the platform."
The Rev. Jim Wallis, an evangelical minister from Washington, D.C., who advocates greater support for the poor, and who is at the convention conducting faith meetings, said the party cannot ignore the number of voters for whom abortion is a nonnegotiable issue.
"I know people see it as a rollback. I don't think it is. It's the possibility of common ground," said Mr. Wallis, who advises politicians in both parties. "Can the Democrats count votes?....There are millions of votes at stake here."
The catalyst for the shift was the 2004 election, experts say, when Sen. John Kerry, who backed abortion rights, lost the voting among almost every major religious group identified in exit polls, especially white and African-American evangelicals and Latino Catholics.
President Bush strongly opposes abortion. But antiabortion advocates have said they felt burned by Mr. Bush, who, despite a former Republican majority in Congress, wasn't able to pass legislation that would have severely restricted the procedure. With religious voters unhappy over the Bush administration's handling of the economy and the war in Iraq, Democrats and liberal advocacy organizations began pushing to make inroads into that voting bloc.
More than a year ago, Third Way, a four-year-old liberal think tank in Washington, D.C., contacted the Rev. Joel Hunter, a Republican evangelical minister from Florida, in an effort to find common ground on the abortion issue. Mr. Hunter later shared his views in the drafting of the Democrats' abortion platform.
Party members also cite the invitation to abortion opponent Sen. Robert Casey Jr. of Pennsylvania to address delegates during prime time. Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women, says she was "personally disappointed" that he was allowed to speak Tuesday, a day the party had set aside to celebrate "women's equality."

GREENFIELD — It was a shock to some that Tony Bennett, the state school superintendent who had been a leader in education reforms in Indiana, was defeated Tuesday night.
A teacher from Indianapolis, Democrat Glenda Ritz, defeated Bennett. The victory sent jubilation through local and state teacher associations. The outcome was exactly what local educators say they wanted, expected and had to have.
"We think Glenda's victory should be seen as a referendum on the reforms that Bennett has very aggressively pushed through," said Patricia Laughlin, Mt. Vernon Teacher's Association president.

.tp was the listed Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for East Timor. The letters used refer to Timor Português or Portuguese Timor a legacy from the nation's previous status as a Portuguese colony. The process of decolonisation was abruptly interrupted by the invasion by Indonesia on 7 December 1975. (.tp) was officially launched in December 1997 by connect.ie, an internet service provider based in Dublin, Ireland, in cooperation with the East Timorese authorities in absentia, while East Timor was under Indonesian military control.
.tp remains active for the period of transition, although it now no longer complies with the ISO 3166-1 standard for the two-letter codes for the name of countries, the code for East Timor having changed from TP to TL after independence. It retains a number of domains. The last listed change and update for .tp was on April 22nd 2008.
In 1997, connect.ie initiated and discussed the potential of setting up a "virtual East Timor". They communicated these ideas to the East Timorese leadership and their representatives. The result of this activity was that connect.ie set in motion the processes to acquire the .tp domain (then the only available and therefore appropriate nomenclature for East Timor). After discussions with Jon Postel, IANA, it was realised that a set of necessary registration conditions would require to be met, including the provision of a local contact persons details. It was assumed by all parties in this discussion that there was a strong likelihood for a potential negative reaction to any person or indeed location listed for such purposes. After discussion with various East Timorese representatives, it was agreed that Xanana Gusmao would be the appropriate contact person. (Xanana was at that time in the custody of the Indonesian governmantal auhorities in Jakarta). The remaining issue and solution to providing local addressing and other contact details were provided by connect.ie. A telephone call was made to Dili to identify the address and telephone no. of the Military Governor, the last local location of Xanana Gusmao. These details were provided to and accepted by IANA. The .tp domain registry was successfully acquired and activated mainly for the purpose of "declaring independence" at least in the virtual world.
The subsequent attack on the .tp domain registry gained extensive worldwide media coverage and public support. Within 6 days of this occurring, and much to everyone's surprise, President Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie announced that a referendum would be held in East Timor to choose between special autonomy and independence. This activity finally concluded when East Timor became Timor Leste, the first new sovereign state of the twenty-first century on May 20, 2002.
In 1999, the cctld server services for the '.tp' domain were attacked by hackers believed to be at the behest and with support from a faction of the Indonesian military. Connect.ie also received malicious telephone calls and other communications at this time. The outcomes from the .tp activities were however positive. The internet and its impact on public reaction and media coverage created a major issue for the Indonesian government that were managed by the offer of a referendum which in turn finally led to constructive international support for East Timor after nearly a quarter of a century of oppression and death.
In August 1999, before the holding of the referendum, one of the independence leaders José Ramos-Horta, now the Timor Leste President, was purported to have stated that arrangements had been made for hackers to attack Indonesian sites.
In response to these press reports, Connect.ie issued a statement in response to these purported reports condemning any use of hacking for any activity that would negatively impact on ordinary Indonesian citizens, stating that they (CI) were not at "war" with the Indonesian people and cited the support that they had received from many Indonesian people after the earlier attack on the .tp domain.''.Press Release - from Connectie 4.30pm GMT, Thursday 19th August 1999, Dublin.
As of June 2005, no further registrations were accepted in the .tp domain.
Registration in .tl is available directly at second-level with no local presence requirement, through CoCCA and various resellers worldwide.
As of 2008, search engines find approximately twice as many pages in the .tp domain as in its successor, .tl

We can feel we've 'lost motivation' when the real issue is that we don't like what we are doing to reach a goal. Sometimes we try for challenges too ambitious. Sometimes we outgrow our methods & goals. The motive is ok; but the method needs tweaking! So: Assess goals and methods on occasion.Changing what we are doing can spark our fire! Motivation stagnates when we don't keep methods interesting and challenging to our current level....
When cooking and baking I reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe down at least a third. Some recipes can even be made with no sugar at all. I started doing this because I can not stand the taste of the artificial sweeteners.

Andy Rubin is leaving Android, the mobile operating system he built from a startup to the world's most popular smartphone driver.
Found a little company, build it quickly, and sell it to a great big company, then change the world with the technology you've created.
It's pretty close to an upstart's dream and it's Andy Rubin's life. Rubin built Android from startup mode to the world's most popular mobile operating system. Now, he's leaving behind that job at Google (Nasdaq: GOOG). His division has been combined with the search giant's Chrome division and will be led by Sandar Pichai.
The move makes sense for Google, financial analysts say. The two fast-growing software divisions are seeing increasing overlap.
Brandon Bailey writes in the San Jose Mercury News:
"It makes sense that Pichai is taking over, as we'll likely see more confluence between those platforms over the next few years," said Josh Olson, a financial analyst who follows Google for the Edward Jones investment firm.
But before Rubin moves onto the next big thing, he can reflect on a solid record so far.
Google bought Android and hired Rubin in 2005, when the Palo Alto startup was just 22 months old. Here's the way Google CEO Larry Page describes those days in a blog post:
Sergey and I first heard about Android back in 2004, when Andy Rubin came to visit us at Google. He believed that aligning standards around an open-source operating system would drive innovation across the mobile industry. Most people thought he was nuts.
Rubin's insight, though, is what has driven Android's success in the face of withering competition from Apple's IOS operating system. Android now powers more than 750 million mobile devices, more than 75 percent of the world's smartphones and tablets.
Not a bad run for an upstart. So what does Rubin do for his next act? Page has a suggestion: "Andy, more moonshots please!"

In 2003, a blackout engulfed the northeastern United States.
John Dooley, vegetation manager for the western district of TVAŌĆÖs coverage area, said this blackout affected 50 million people, led to 11 deaths, and cost an estimated $6 billion. There were initial fears that the blackout resulted from a terrorist attack, he said, but its actual point of origin turned out to be a single downed tree.

(tell us about rental conditions, buying/selling, privatized or DoD housing – interesting policies etc): Most housing on post is new, but there are plenty of older homes. The wait is 12-18 months for on-post housing,which forces people to look out side of post for rentals and homes for sale. Both off post homes and rental leave a lot to be desired. Many homes are 70-100 years old. There is plenty of charm, but a lot of issues.
8. Rate the PX: 9
9. Rate the Commissary: 9
10. Rate MWR/ACS: 7
11. Active Spouse Club? The Enlisted Spouse club is very effective at recruits, but after emailing the Officer Spouse club several times when we first arrived, and not being contacted back I can tell they need some work.
Surrounding Area:
Note: In the following three please list annual events as well as things going on now…

1. School System (how many districts, DOD schools, what are they like etc): We have several schools in the area Carthage, Blackriver, Philidelphia, and Watertown. I do not have children, but have hear that Blackriver and Carthage have the best schools in the area.
2. Area Colleges? Jefferson County Community College in Watertown.
3. Favorite Restaurants: Ruyi Japanese Steak House in Watertown
Stephano's Pizzeria in Carthage
Tin Pan Galley in Sackets Harbor
4. Favorite Shopping (note: lack of shopping) The local Salmon Run Mall leaves a lot to be desired; however, Carousel Mall in Syracuse offers several stories of shopping include Pottery Barn, J Crew, Coach, Banana Republic, and Macy's
5. Job Market Slim to none. This is an area that is strapped for cash. The Miilitary post is the only money pumper, so be prepared to compete with the locals for jobs.
Other Information:
1. Best aspect of the post (of the city surrounding?) There are a lot of wineries. If you like the outdoors, this is the post for you. it's beautiful in spring and summer. Perfect temps, beautiful flowers, lots to do.
2. Worst aspect? Winter! 5 months of hell! It's no fun having to shovel snow 3x a day.
3. Local websites – post website or MWR website post website or MWR website drum.army.mil
4. Weather: Spring and summer are awesome. Fall offers gorgeous leaf changing. Winter starts in October with temps in the 50-40's. January-March is the worst of it.
