State Health Department - Medical Voucher Scam
The Colorado Attorney General is warning his counterparts in other states that Colorado seniors are being called by scam artists posing as state health department officials. The callers contact public benefits recipients and assert that the state wants to deliver medical discount vouchers to them. The callers possess the consumer's name and address, the name of their banking institution and the routing number for that banking institution. They ask the consumer to "verify" their identity by reciting their checking account numbers. They call back repeatedly if the consumer does not provide the requested information.
According to the warning, background noise audible during the calls
suggests a busy call center. The callers can be very rude and insistent.
Federal agencies have received similar complaints from consumers in several states, including TX, VA, PA and OK. In each case, the name used is of that state's Health Department while the content of the call is the same. No calls have been reported in NC yet.

MARS is a best-estimate system analysis code that is based on the RELAP5/MOD3 and COBRA-TF codes. The COBRA-TF code was adapted as a three-dimensional thermal-hydraulic module in MARS. It uses a two-fluid, three-field model for two-phase flows and has a subchannel flow mixing model. The subchannel flow mixing model of the MARS three-dimensional module was assessed by using the ISPRA 16-rod bundle test and the GE 9-rod bundle test data. These tests represent typical pressurized water reactor and boiling water reactor core thermal-hydraulic conditions, respectively. Two interconnected subchannel tests that were performed under atmospheric pressure conditions were also used for the assessment. From the results of the assessments, a simple modification of the subchannel flow mixing model was suggested to take into account the effects of the system pressure on the void drift phenomena.

Aim Down Sights - Kevin Spacey goes full Söze in latest COD capture session
(Produced In Partnership With Activision) Bricey is back to school Dan in the ways of The Ripper, and we get a look at some of the incredible new performance capture in Advanced Warfare. Plus: Community! Feedback! Prizes!
by Sarah Lynch on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
The only Call of Duty show with exclusive access to the latest news and insight into the world's biggest game. Produced in partnership with Activision.
Schedule: Weekly
1:51 Yes indeed, quite fabulous, precious. *Cleans monocle*
Nice to see a website with integrity, no paid "articles" here...
Another year, another CoD game nobody asked for.
COD.........COD Never Changes.
Ah, its Crysis but less organic
The Graphics look like BF4.
I have nothing against websites doing a puff piece for a game, but a whole series amounting to one huge puff piece devoted to a single game?
Danny's series on No Man's Sky seems okay to me.
This series seems... dirty and wrong, but I can't explain why,
Photo realistic my ass. Explosions still look cartoony. They need to work on that and the debris afterwards
That spoiler in the title...
Bring back Feedbackula!
Dan is such eye candy .....
Is this the guy that used to make videos for Xbox Live?
Is Aim Down Sight a video program just for the Call of Duty Series?
Oh my god that's a game?! THAT'S CRAZY!
@highpitcairn Yeah, that's what COD is. What did you expect? A top view fantasy rpg?
Because GameSpot's coverage of No Man's Sky is purely out of true interest and a desire to deliver that interesting information to readers/viewers. This series on the other hand is actually paid for. Activision is handing an undisclosed amount of cash to GameSpot for them to produce this video content.
@jonnyb81 Sp "puff piece" when a game you don't like. Fine when overhyped Sony exclusive game. Got it.
Johnny doesn't want to. :/
@The_Gaming_Baby Yes. Dan Maher hosted Inside Xbox. His old co-host Andy Farrant is now hosting a different video games website called Outside Xbox, alongside former Gamespot StartSelect host, Jane Douglas.
@kaluy yes. It's basically an infomercial by Activision. They're paying Gamespot to produce these video segments. When this show debuted last week there was a whole debate over the ethics of Gamespot doing this...
@zedzdeadbby Sarcasm?
And that debate should resume every time a video comes out. Quite a few of the staff are largely against it, which shows that the decisions to do these collaborations are probably coming from the top, so we can expect a lot more of this riddling Gamespot in the near future.
@arcanitejedi @zedzdeadbby It's a quote from the Art Director in the video, pretty laughable statement, faces do look nice as he said, but not anywhere close to what he is saying.
@bfa1509 Hey, wanted to jump in and give some clarity on how this show is produced. The content itself is produced within GameSpot by a completely separate team that lives outside of editorial - a team that produces some of the other sponsored content you might have seen over the last year or so. That separate video team is producing this in partnership with Activision in order to give Call of Duty fans specific content and access created specifically for them. I should also say that this type of partnership is fairly common in the industry - we're just being fairly open about tagging it as "Partner Content". It's not for everyone, but we think that by partnering with Activision we're giving the audience who want weekly content on that game something they'll actually enjoy - and in a way that is separated from the traditional coverage from other content you'll see from our editorial team on the run-up to launch. (for those of you who don't know btw - i'm VP of Content so editorial and video production all rolls up to me)
@mondoben I appreciate the response. I realise Gamespot is a business and needs to make money like any other business but are there enough Call of Duty fans coming to the site to warrant this kind of content? As of right now there are 16 comments and 42 people listening. I have been checking regularly over the last few hours and the number of people here didn't really exceed 50 and yet the videos are always listed in "Most Popular" lists and hold a very prominent position on the front page disguised as a regular article. I get that Gamespot is trying to capitalise on the ridiculous amount of money these companies pump into marketing their products but I feel that it is damaging Gamespot's impartiality? Is it worth it?
@mondoben Whether anyone is happy with the answers or not, thanks for giving us some more info.
Yeah, the whole "this content is being produced by a completely separate team than the editorial staff" doesn't make much of a difference when this "completely separate content" is being placed shoulder to shoulder with editorial content on the website and, as you said, is promoted as "Most Popular" alongside much more frequented content.
I can see it from their side too though. How are they supposed to place this content fairly? Should this content only be displayed in a completely separate section of the website? Should it only occupy the same space regular advertising goes even though it's a Gamespot production? It's easy to point out what feels sleazy. It's hard to define what fair and honest looks like.

So confident were Dynamos of winning the league championship that they had already printed T-Shirts for the celebrations even before their match against Hardbody at Ascot on Sunday. Dynamos players and officials came into the match wearing T-shirts labeled -- 2012 League Champions. To them the presentation of the big trophy was just a formality.
Although it was an edgy finish, as they settled for a 1-1 draw, Dynamos celebrated their league championship as they kept Highlanders in second place.
It was a carnival atmosphere in Gweru even before the match, as the Midlands capital was turned into a sea of blue and white colours.
Queues started forming at the match venue as early as 10am as fans braved the scorching heat to take up their seats in anticipation of a full house. Hardbody, who were the home team, were clearly overwhelmed by the Dynamos fans while the Watosvorwa fans were not even visible.
Veteran football journalist Charles Mabika, reporter Langton Nyakwenda and a Dynamos marshal were at the receiving end of police dog bites as they tried to find their way into the stadium.
Mabika had part of his trousers' torn by the bite and revealed yesterday that he had sought medical attention on his return to the capital.
"I fell to the ground, the dog's teeth scratched part of my skin, I was lucky maybe because I didn't get the full force of the bite," said Mabika.
"For once I felt what the ordinary fans go through, week in and week out, trying to squeeze their way into the stadium and I have no bad feelings at all because I am not in any way more special than the fans who go through this all the time.
"I was bruised but I'm okay and I've received some treatment." Some fans scaled the fence to gain access into the stadium as Hardbody were overwhelmed.
DeMbare fans went into delirium when their team took the league in the first half through Roderick Mutuma.
But they were shaken when Hardbody equalised but, like true champions, Dynamos fought for the result they wanted and managed to get it. When an Airforce of Zimbabwe helicopter carrying the trophy emerged a few minutes after the final whistle, the DeMbare fans and officials were ecstatic.
The fans sang "Chati chauya chikopokopo chatakura trophy yeDeMbare" while the sound of the vuvuzelas made a deafening noise.
There was the inevitable pitch invasion by the fans as Callisto Pasuwa and his players saluted their fans who were in the stadium.
Police battled to contain the fans with one supporter being arrested after he risked his life by running straight under the helicopters' rotor blades.
Six paratroopers from the defence forces also added glamour to the occasion when they dropped into the stadium after the final whistle.
Delta marketing executive, Patricia Murambinda and PSL chairman Twine Phiri, presented the gold medals and the Cup to the champions who were mobbed by their fans.
"It has been a difficult season but we managed to finish in style.
"Looking at this grand presentation of the trophy, I think we did well.
"It was exciting for us because we had two games where Dynamos and Highlanders were all fighting for the championship neck-and-neck.
"So this has been a good season for us," said Phiri.
Phiri said they were many challenges faced by the league this season but they managed to overcome them.
"I am happy that our sponsor is also happy," he said.
"We have so many sponsors coming on board next season.
"There are still negotiations going with the new sponsors who want to come," he said.
Dynamos chairman Kenny Mubaiwa said his executive will sit down and plan a befitting token for the players and the technical team.
"It has been a wonderful feeling for me as chairman to lead the club during this period.
"Our main focus now is to go into the Champions League and do better.
"I hope the coach will be beefing up his squad so that we conquer Africa.
"The executive should be sitting down and finding a way of rewarding the players just like we did last year.
"For now we have to focus on the Mbada Diamonds Cup so that we make it a double," said Mubaiwa.

Berets are worn by many military and police units, and in some countries are particularly associated with elite units, who often wear berets in more unusual colours (such as the maroon of Commonwealth parachute troops and the German Kommando Spezialkräfte KSK, the green of the Royal Marines Commandos, French Commandos (Bérets verts), and United States Army Special Forces (Green Berets), the scarlet of the elite Soviet Internal Troops (Spetsnaz), the beige or tan of Commonwealth special forces units (SAS) and U.S. Army Rangers, or the wide black of French Chasseurs alpins, the first military unit to have worn berets.
The use of berets as a military headdress dates back to the creation of the French Chasseurs alpins in the early 1880s. These mountain troops were issued with a new style of uniform which included several features which were very practical and advanced by the standards of the time, notably the large and floppy blue beret which they still retain (see below). This was so unfamiliar a fashion outside France that it had to be described in an British encyclopedia in 1911 as ''"a sort of tam o'shanter hat".
Berets have features that make them very attractive to the military: They are cheap and easy to make in large numbers, they can be manufactured in a wide range of colours to enhance branch or regimental esprit de corps, they can be rolled up and stuffed into a pocket without damage and they can be worn with headphones (this is one of the reasons why tank crews came to adopt the beret). However, they are not so useful in field conditions for an infantryman, as they do not offer the protection for the face against sun and rain that a peaked or wide brimmed hat does.
The beret was found particularly useful as a uniform for armoured vehicle crewmen, and the British Tank Corps (later Royal Tank Corps) adopted the headdress as early as 1918. German AFV crews in the late 1930s also adopted a beret with the addition of a padded crash helmet inside. The colour black became popular as a tank crew headdress since it did not show oil stains picked up inside the interior of a vehicle. Black berets continue to be worn by armoured regiments throughout the Commonwealth.
Berets have become the default military headdress of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, just as the tricorne, shako, kepi and peaked cap were in various early eras. The beret is now worn by elements of the military personnel of the majority of nations across the world. The three major hold-outs were the United States, Russia, and China (PRC) - all have now followed the example of the other armies in adopting berets.
Berets are worn by some units in the Argentine Armed Forces, with distinctive colours for some units or functions. The beret colours are as follows:
Berets are worn by all corps in the Australian Army, with distinctive colours for some units:
Black berets are worn in the Royal Australian Navy, and blue berets in the Royal Australian Air Force, but only by qualified Airfield Defence Guards and Ground Defence Officers. Terracotta berets are worn by Multinational Force and Observers contingents. In all cases, the beret is pulled to the right and a badge worn above the left eye.
Berets are common in most parts of the Army, and are usually worn for special occasions, but also regularly by certain forces.
During the Second World War, a khaki beret was adopted throughout the Canadian Army, with the Canadian Armoured Corps (later Royal Canadian Armoured Corps) wearing the black beret and parachute troops wearing the maroon beret adopted by British airborne forces. The 2nd Canadian Parachute Battalion (the Canadian component of the First Special Service Force) wore a red beret with the dress uniform. Wartime berets were much fuller in cut than postwar berets.
After the Second World War, a series of coloured berets were adopted, with infantry regiments wearing scarlet, rifle regiments wearing dark (rifle) green, the armoured corps wearing black, and other arms and services wearing midnight blue berets, with a large coloured "flash" in corps colours - dull cherry for the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps, Emerald Green for the Royal Canadian Dental Corps, etc. The coloured flashes were not popular and replaced in 1956 with forage caps bearing coloured bands in corps colours. The midnight blue beret itself was retained, however.
When the Canadian Forces unified in the late 1960s, the rifle green beret was adopted as the CF standard. The RCAC successfully fought to retain its distinctive black beret, and the Canadian Airborne Regiment wore the maroon beret until the unit was disbanded. Scottish and Irish infantry regiments wear tam o'shanters, glengarries, balmorals or caubeens instead of berets. The berets listed below are the current standard:
The beret is used with service dress as formal headdress (especially after the move away from the forage cap in the 1990s) as well as with CADPAT clothing as garrison dress and as a form of combat dress. In certain cases the beret is even used as Ceremonial Dress, most commonly in units of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps.
Berets in Chilean Navy
Berets in Chilean Air Force:
Joint staff:
Guard brigades:
Also dark blue beret is used in Croatian Navy.
The Royal Danish Army uses berets for all its personnel. The Navy and Air Force also use berets.
Berets are worn by all personnel of the Ecuadorian Army (Ejército) and certain members of the Navy (Armada) and Air Force (Fuerza Aérea), with distinctive colours for some units or functions. The beret colours are:
The Finnish Defence Force uses berets with cap badges for the Army, Navy and the Air Force. The berets are worn in "clean" garrison duties such as roll calls and with the walking-out uniform, but not with the battle dress. Until the mid-1990s, the beret was reserved for troops with special status, such as the coastal jägers and the parachute jägers, but is nowadays used by all units. In the winter, berets are replaced by winter headgear.
Berets are also used by the Finnish Frontier Guard, which is a military organization under the aegis of Ministry of Interior during peacetime.
The military beret originated in the French Army, in the form of the wide and floppy headdress worn by the Chasseurs alpins (mountain light infantry) from their foundation in the early 1880s. A tight-fitting version was subsequently adopted by French armoured troops towards the end of World War I. Between the wars, special fortress units raised to garrison the Maginot Line wore khaki berets as did the 13th DBLE of the French Foreign Legion when it was created in 1940. The beret in red, blue or green was a distinction of the Metropolitan, Colonial and Foreign Legion paratroop regiments during the Indochina and Algerian wars. After 1962 the beret in either khaki or the colours specified above became the standard French Army headdress for ordinary use. With the exception of the Naval Commandos whose beret emulates the British Commando beret and is worn pulled to the right with the badge worn over the left ear and the Naval Fusiliers commandos also part of the French Navy, all other French berets (Army, airforce and gendarmerie GIGN) are pulled to the left with the badge worn on the right side over the eye or the temple.
When in fatigue tigerstripes the camouflaged cap is worn instead of the dark blue beret. The beret colours worn by the Hellenic Air Force are:
The beret is the headgear of ground forces and military police in the Indonesian Armed Forces.
The beret colours worn by Óglaigh na hÉireann (The Soldiers of Ireland) are as follows:
All personnel wear a common capbadge, a sunburst insignia with the letters "FF" inscribed above the left eye of the beret; this is the ancient symbol of the Fianna, the elite forces of Irish.
Israeli Defense Forces soldiers wear berets only on formal occasions, such as ceremonies and roll calls, and in disciplinary situations such as courts martial and imprisonments. The beret is placed beneath the left epaulette. The beret colors are as follows:
All members in the Ground Self-Defense Force are authorized to wear wool rifle green berets - referred to as the "ベレー帽" (ベレーボウ or bereebou) - as an optional head covering for dress, working and camouflage uniforms since 1992. However, it is normally considered a special dress item, worn for public relations events or parades. An embroidered goldwork cap badge representing the JGSDF logo identical to the one used on the service dress peaked cap is required by regulation to be affixed to the beret.
In the Mexican Navy:
The following colours are also used (before and after the modernisation):
The only Dutch military units that do not wear a beret are the Gele Rijders (Horse Artillery), who wear a blue garrison cap with yellow trimming.
All regiments and services have their own distinctive colours. There are quite a lot, but the number of colours in the logistic services was reduced in 2001. This colour is shown in a patch of cloth behind the beret flash. The intendance (maroon), transport troops (blue), military administration (pink; hence the nickname 'Pink Mafia'), technical service (black), and medical troops and service (green) lost their colours and all now wear yellow patches.
All infantry Battalions in the New Zealand Army wear rifle green berets, except for the Special Air Service, who wear a sand or ERCW colour. Soldiers belonging to service corps wear dark blue, whilst members of the armoured corp wear black Personnel of the Royal New Zealand Air Force wear dark blue, while the Royal New Zealand Navy wear black.
The Norwegian armed forces use the beret as a garrison cap, but some units (mostly armored vehicle personnel) also use it in the field. The Norwegian beret and all other headwear except those of the Navy always have the current king's cipher as a badge in gold (most of the army) or silver (the air force); currently this is a numeral 5 inside an H, for "Harald V". The navy has a crowned gold anchor for their enlisted personnel, a crowned gold anchor surrounded by a circle of rope for their petty officers, and a crowned golden anchor surrounded by leaved branches for officers. The colours used are:
The special operations units of the Navy wear the same berets as the rest of the navy. However they have a coloured patch behind the cap badge, the colour of which determines the unit:
Berets in other units
The black beret is also the distinctive headgear of World War II veterans, particularly Armia Krajowa veterans.
Until 1975, the following berets were also in use:
Until majority rule ended its existence in 1980, the Rhodesian Security Forces wore the beret as the primary working dress and service dress headgear. Berets were colored according to unit or service branch, with a distinctive regimental cap badge pinned above the left eye.
Russian military structures (both Armed Forces and Internal Troops) use the following types of berets:
The berets are all adorned with the Singapore Armed Forces coat of arms, with the exception of the Air Force beret and navy beret which are adorned with their respective cap-badge. Officers in the navy have a different cap-badge from the enlisted men. COL and above too has a different cap-badge
The berets are all adorned with the unit's insignia. Some of the traditional units wear other headgear - for example, the Cape Town Highlanders Regiment and the South African Military Health Service.
Other than these units, several secret commando units (mostly disbanded in the mid-1990s) formed to infiltrate North Korea during the Cold War days wore black berets and adorned them with the badges of individual units. Korean liaison soldiers serving in the U.S. Eighth Army (KATUSA) have also been wearing black berets along with American uniforms since that beret became a standard headgear of the U.S. Army in 2001.
As of 2006, there have been several proposals within the Korean Ministry of Defense to replace the current field cap with a dark-coloured beret as the standard army headgear.
The beret is used in the various armed forces of Thailand. The colours used are:
The black beret is also worn by ordinary police in certain situations.
The British Army beret dates back to 1918 when the French 70th Chasseurs alpins were training with the British Tank Corps. The Chasseurs alpins wore a distinctive large beret (see above) and Major-General Sir Hugh Elles, the TC's Colonel, realised this style of headdress would be a practical option for his tank crews, forced to work in a reduced space. He thought, however, that the Chasseur beret was "too sloppy" and the Basque-style beret of the French tank crews was "too skimpy", so a compromise based on the Scottish tam o'shanter was designed and submitted for the approval of George V in November 1923. It was adopted in March 1924.
During the Second World War the beret was also adopted by the Commandos and Parachute Regiment. Later in the war, a rather baggier beret-like hat, called a General Service Cap, was issued to all ranks of the British Army (with RAC, parachute, commando, Scottish and Irish units excepted), to replace the earlier Field Service Cap. The GS Cap was not popular, and after the war was replaced with a true beret.
Today, every British military unit wears a beret, with the exception of the Royal Regiment of Scotland and Royal Irish Regiment, who wear the tam o'shanter and the caubeen respectively (the Scots Guards and Irish Guards, however, wear berets, as frequently do the Royal Irish Regiment on operations). Many of these berets are in distinctive colours and all are worn with the cap badge of the service, regiment or corps. The cap badge for all services in the UK is supposed to be worn directly over the left eye.
The colours are as follows:
Some Regiments and Corps wear a coloured backing behind the flash, these include:
The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, the only remaining independent fusilier regiment, wears a feather hackle on the beret. Other ranks of the Royal Welsh also wear hackles.
Members of the Royal Tank Regiment, 4/73 (Sphinx) Special OP Battery Royal Artillery , Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, Army Air Corps, Parachute Regiment, SAS and Intelligence Corps wear berets in Nos 1, 2, 3 and 6, Dress. Other Regiments and Corps wear peaked caps in these orders of dress . Troops from other services, regiments or corps on attachment to units with distinctive coloured berets often wear those berets (with their own cap badge). Colonels, brigadiers and generals usually continue to wear the beret of the regiment or corps to which they used to belong with the cap badge distinctive to their rank.
Former regiments and corps, now amalgamated, that did not wear navy blue berets included:
Berets were originally worn by elite forces in the United States Army. Hence, there was controversy when in 2001 the United States Army adopted the black beret, previously reserved for the Rangers, as standard headgear for all army units. The Rangers are now distinguished by tan berets. The United States Army Special Forces are generally known as "Green Berets" for the color of their headgear. Soldiers in airborne units wear distinctive organisational flashes. Conventional forces wear a pale blue flash with thirteen white stars. Officers wear their rank emblem within the flash, while enlisted ranks wear their distinctive unit insignia. United States Army units can be distinguished by the color of their berets, as follows:
The wearing of berets in the United States Air Force is less common, but several career fields are authorized to wear berets of specific colours, as follows:
In the United States Navy, female servicemembers may wear a black beret (of a different style than most military berets) instead of a combination hat or garrison cap while in service uniforms.
Dark blue berets with Black Hackle are worn by all the regular aviations of Royal Malaysian Police including Suksis. For paramilitary organizations consisting of General Operations Forces, the berets worn by the units is Dark blue with Khaki Hackle for ceremony, and the paramilitary Senoi Praaq Brigade wear maroon berets also with Khaki Hackle. The dark blue berets with Light Blue Hackle was worn by Marine Police Branch and high school student's Royal Police Cadet Corps. The anti-riot Federal Reserve Units (FRU) wearing the red berets with black hackle.
The berets also worn by Police Counter-Terrorism Forces, such as operators of Pasukan Gerakan Khas, the main anti-teror special forces. Some sub-units of the PGKs, including the Special Actions Unit (UTK) wearing the maroon berets and VAT 69 Commandos worned tan (sand) berets, berets which honored by British 22nd Special Air Service. The newly maritime anti-teror special force, known as Unit Selam Tempur and United Nations police branch wearing the light blue berets.
The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (Coast Guard) operators wear black berets. Other security organisation like Pertahanan Awam/ Civil Defence, their personel wear the orange beret and RELA personel wear the yellow beret.
The Guarda Prisional (Prison Guards) wear black berets.
The members of the paramilitary Rescue Corps of the Portuguese Red Cross wear purple berets.
Until their disbandment in 1975, the Angola and Mozambique paramilitary civil defence volunteers wore black berets.
Members of the Singapore Civil Defence Force attached to a headquarters element, or on overseas missions, also wear black berets. These are adorned with the SCDF crest, and may sport a flash in certain specialist units, such as the Rescue Dog Unit and the elite Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team.
Auxiliary police officers of Certis CISCO and Aetos Security Management don dark blue berets when performing escort and other high-risk duties, as do specialist forces of the Singapore Prison Service. In addition, student cadets of uniformed youth organizations such as the National Police Cadet Corps and the National Cadet Corps also wear berets of different colours.
The beret, boina in Spanish or txapela in Basque, was introduced into Spain during the First Carlist War. The Chapelgorris (from Basque txapel gorri, "red beret") were a Isabelline troop, but later the red beret became a symbol of Carlism The red beret became a Falange symbol when Carlism was merged into it after the Spanish Civil War.
Today the Basque police force, Ertzaintza, wears red berets, as did their Miquelete forebears
ETA guerrillas may wear black berets over hoods in public appearances.
Berets (chapelas, from Basque txapela) have become the standard headgear of the Castilian peasant. In the Basque Country, a commemorative beret is the usual trophy in sport or poetry competitions, including Basque rural sports or the Basque portions of the Tour de France. The Basque word for "champion", txapeldun, literally means "the one in a beret".
The beret was once considered the national hat of France and is part of the stereotypical image of the Onion Johnny. It has diminished in popularity, just as hats for men all over the world have waned in popularity, since about 1960. Still considered a matter of French pride, it is worn by both women and men. Black is the traditional colour. There are only two manufacturers left in France, and a few fly-by-night manufacturers elsewhere, that make berets. Sizing is still a problem, because American sizes and European sizes do not match exactly, and the approximate sizes—S, M,L,XL— that are most commonly offered for sale are a poor approximation of either: European size 59 (59 cm) is approximately American size 7 3/8 and is between M and L. The beret is also a stereotyped trademark of film directors, artists (particularly painters), intellectuals, Bohemians, and Beatniks of any nationality.
Schoolgirls often wear berets with their school uniforms. When searching for a suitable style of beret to be worn by the Royal Tank Regiment (RTR), the French Chasseurs alpins was rejected as being too big. The RTR selected a model worn by a Girls School.
Some British comedians have been identified with the beret; Chris Langham is recorded as having announced to actor Ken Campbell that he has named the tassle or stalk which is present in some berets the langham, after himself. Michael Crawford also wore a beret as Frank Spencer. Other entertainment figures identified with the beret include Jamie Hyneman of MythBusters, and Fred Berry who played Rerun in What's Happening!! and What's Happening Now!! (as well as in real life). It is said that Groucho Marx wore a beret that he could carry in his pocket to avoid tipping hat-check girls when he went to restaurants and night clubs.
The beret is sometimes worn simply as a fashion statement.
Famous people who have worn berets include

Jedi Mind Tricks and the 'Cuba Experts'
A brilliant piece at Capitol Hill Cubans about Jedi mind tricks and the "Cuba Experts":
Talking Points From Havana
Last week, the Castro regime's leading columnist, Nicanor Leon Cotayo, wrote an official editorial in Cuban state media praising President Obama's nominees for Secretary of State, U.S. Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.), and Secretary of Defense, former U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.).
Leon Cotayo (channeling Castro) writes:
"Chuck Hagel has no problem with Cuba. To the contrary, he has demonstrated common sense to do away with one of the White House's most anachronistic foreign policies."
He then nudges the Obama Administration to ignore Congress and U.S. law, and exercise "real and legal options to maneuver and diminish tension in bilateral relations."
In other words, to keep providing them unilateral concessions (while they keep intensifying their repression of peaceful opponents).
Sure sounds like some of the "think-tank" policy papers floating around town, not to mention some of the recent analysis by Cuba "experts" in the U.S. media.
Now remember, according to these Cuba "experts", this is all a "Jedi mind trick" because despite all of the lobbying and the billions of dollars spent by Castro to have sanctions lifted, they really don't want them lifted -- for they need to have an excuse for their failures that Cubans don't believe. Got it?
As for Castro's American hostage, Alan Gross, Leon Cotayo (channeling Castro) reiterated the regime's position that they will only discuss the issue pursuant to two conditions: "mutual respect and reciprocity."
In other words, blackmail and ransom.

By MATTHEW STEVENS
firstname.lastname@example.com [2]
The argument could be made Jarrod Parks made an impact on Mississippi State's 2010 baseball season without playing a single inning.
It occurred during a preseason conversation between the single infielder and head coach John Cohen.
"I can tell you when he came to tell me he was going to have surgery and not be able to play, I could just tell how much pain he was in," Cohen said Friday during MSU's baseball media day session. "I knew that was going to hurt our ball club immediately (because) he was one of the few experienced guys we were going to have."
Parks had successful back surgery before the start of the 2010 season and spent the spring doing rehabilitation to get healthy for his fifth and final year on the MSU campus.
"I could tell he was in excruciating pain and he was telling me the pain was running all the way down his leg and it's just something he had to do," Cohen said. "The positive thing is we're going to get him for another year and I think we're going to get tremendous production."
Unlike most injured players, Parks decided to stay around the team atmosphere while doing his rehabilitation but described watching games last year at Dudy Noble Field as a "helpless feeling" that he hopes to never have to repeat again.
"I felt it for the guys because it wasn't fun to not be able to help them drive in that run when they needed it last year," Parks said. "There was nothing I could do about it. I wanted to make a play when somebody couldn't."
Cohen admitted Friday his coaching staff is still unsure how the potential rotation at third base between Parks and fellow roommate Nick Vickerson but one thing the third-year head coach is sure of is the pair of seniors have to be in the lineup in some way.
Vickerson returns to Starkville as the team's leading returner in nearly every offensive category including average (.333 overall and .328 in Southeastern Conference play), on-base percentage (.447, .423), home runs (8, 6) and stolen bases (10, 6).
"I'm sure if one plays third base then the other may be the DH because I feel Nick and I have the best chance to be the top two hitters on the team," Parks said. "It doesn't really even matter between us because we're such good friends, it doesn't even matter. We're not going to lose sleep over who starts and who doesn't."
The Bulldogs head coach joked that trying to keep his fifth-year senior healthy is a major priority and difficulty because he's already been hit several times in the batters box during team scrimmages this spring.
"He's a magnet," Cohen said with a laugh. "That's what we're looking for."
Parks has said the key for him with MSU takes the field for opening day next Friday against Akron (4 p.m.) will be to temper the excitement of getting on the field for the first time since he played 20 games two years ago as a junior.
"What I'm going to try and do is stay calm throughout all of it," Parks said. "With all the adrenaline for that first game, it sure won't be easy though."
Parks, the 6-foot-2 infielder, could also be part of a platoon system at first base with senior Ryan Collins and true freshman Daryl Norris as well. Collins, who played all three outfield positions last season, could rotate between first base and right field throughout this upcoming season.
"It's kind of exciting in a way to come to the ballpark and not knowing where you'll be in the field or in the order," Collins said. "You kind of just get used to it playing for Coach Cohen and once you mature, you really begin to like it."
As one of six seniors in this 37-man roster for Mississippi State, Cohen knows that Parks' leadership come the grind of Southeastern Conference will be more than critical.
"I have no concerns (about his back) whatsoever and on the field, I don't even think about it," Parks said. "I'm ready to play. The back is not a factor until I get trucked by a pitcher and then – it may be an issue. I'm positive it will hold up."

I bought a bunch of these headphones for my daughter. At this price, I was able to buy many! My daughter has autism and is very sensitive to noise. She is 5 and they fit her very comfortably. She uses them at school, church, amusement parks, museums, fireworks, and when I'm vacuuming. I can take her almost anywhere with them, that she wouldn't be able to go, without them. We keep them at home, in the car, at school, etc. They have been a great value to us! I recommend them to all of my friends who have noise sensitive children.

Just the right ear protection for noisy activities.
Get the job done
By Tom
from New Jersey
I have owned a pair of these for several years. The out lasted a more expensive pair of folding ear muffs, and work just as well. I use them all the time when working with power tools, pneumatic nailers, and loud vacuums. Compared to folding models they take up a lot of room when storing them, but they are a great deal for the money.

pleasantly surprised
By ReBo
from Sarasota FL
I tried on all the hearing protection devices at Harbor freight and these fit the best! They do a great job of suppressing the loud noise of my power tools. Best of all, unlike the more expensive ear muffs, when I'm not using my loud tools they rest comfortably around my neck! super convenient! CAN'T BEAT THE PRICE. Over all great product!
Awesome buy!

Not top shelf brand...but still performs as such. I use these everyday operating power tools. The noise reduction is amazing.

Good for those with a larger hat size
By John Peano
I found the more expensive ones to be uncomfortably tight (my hat size is XL) and not adjustable since the headbands are made of spring steel (which is designed to return to its original shape after bending). These are less snug to start with and have a plastic headband that can be bent [backwards] to make them a tad bit looser (cold plastic cracks easily so do this indoors). I used them today with a leaf blower (1 hour – very comfortable) and recommend its use for things like that and for firearms not bigger than .22 caliber. Noise reduction is only 23 dB (these let more sound pass through than my other earmuffs).

Work great and always cheap
By WeekendWarrior
from Charlotte, NC
I use these for power tools, chain saws. yard tools, and at the gun range. They cut out the noise extremely well. When I wear these there is not even a hint of "loudness" or anything that would make my ears ring EVER. Perfect

Great Value but somewhat noisy
By Geoff
from Oregon
Let me first say these are a great value. Great for mowing the lawn, leaf blowers. Small caliber guns. However some noises tend to resonate like when we are at the race track. For the money these can't be beat. You can also make them work a little better by applying a 1/8" layer of silicone calking to the inside of the ear muffs.

ok, great start. Now get Abas, Askren, Raymond Jordan, Aaron Simpson, Stith, and Larkin on his staff.
Work Mark Perry in there if someone else doesn't work out. That would be a great room and the Sunkist boys next door probably won't hurt either.
Hopefully we can hear from Homer to clarify the current status of this situation. I'm hearing 90% on Charles, but we shall see shortly.
RaceBannon has some inside info on openmat and that guy has been money on every coaching vacancy this spring. He was calling Cael to PSU for days and you should have seen how he was getting mocked until the announcement. He's also called KJ and Heffernan from his sources.
I sure hope it's Charles, great guy, great coach, great family man!
Nice hire by ASU.
Glad to see Charles catch on as a head coach again after what happened to him up at Fresno State.
I am so happy for Shawn, but damn, I will miss not only him but his family at Mizzou. They're just good people.

At Least I Won't Have to Shower Tonight!
The pool garden is 95% planted, with the exception of six white rose a'sharon plants for the back wall that will be planted next week, and all new grass seed, which will happen early fall. Oh yes, and someone named Mr. EOS has an arbor to build for us (hint hint).
I dragged down a couple of water towers to make sure the new plantings stay watered, but not overwatered, and had a fight with the tower to get it to auto rotate, so soaked I got that I came up to change my clothes at the SAME time the doorbell rang and the HVAC repairman arrived to fix a compressor issue. Let's just say wet white shirts are not as nice a look on a 65-year-old as a 20-something. I thought about explaining WHY I was drenched, but figured I'd only get myself into more trouble, so I let his imagination have a good time.
ANYHOOOOO, here's the garden so far. Envision lush green grass in between the flower beds, an arbor with vines flourishing, and a seating arrangement somewhere, not sure where yet. Originally we thought the seating arrangement would go inside the center square, where the roses and lilacs are, but looking at it now, I might want to have the seating arrangement closer to the stone wall, looking at all the plantings.
Meanwhile, the garden that was new last year up front is doing great guns. Filled in so nicely. Love it.
It's a lot of work gardening but the rewards are so long-lasting. Love it.
Luke Gardner permalinkJune 26, 2013 9:10 am
Very nice. Three, four years, it'll be spectacular!
Cobra permalinkJune 26, 2013 2:41 pm
Looks great! Do you miss the pool on these sweltering days? Re: the watering tower, Mine was an inconsistent pain to adjust, so I donated it to the dump. As a fall back, you might consider a simple-to-operate, 360 degree rotary sprinkler I've found on Amazon. I use one to water the tomato garden and it works quite well.
Cobra permalinkJune 26, 2013 3:19 pm
Sounds like you have quite a sprinkler arsenal with which to fight off dry spells! I, too, have a couple of vintage units used by my parents back in the '40's and '50's. Back in those days, as we didn't have a backyard pool in which to cool off, I enjoyed running though the refreshing "rain" created by those very same sprinklers.
Now that our kids are all grown up and out of the house, we only occasionally use our pool, so perhaps we should fill it in as you did and revert to those old sprinklers for cooling off! Should we do so, our neighbors might think we've seriously gone round the bend, if they don't already.
michigan permalinkJune 28, 2013 7:43 am
It looks great. Just add water.

- Subjects:Classroom Management, Independent Reading, Teacher Tips and Strategies
Book Nook Rotation Chart
- Grades: 3–5
During Individualized Daily Reading in my classroom, students are allowed to read in different places around the classroom rather than being confined to their desks. The place they choose to read is called their "book nook." There are many comfy places to read in our classroom including a couch, dish chairs, dice stools, and beanbags.
While it is great to have so many comfortable options for independent reading, it can also lead to arguments over who gets to read in the extra special pieces of furniture. For this reason, we have a book nook rotation schedule in our classroom.
A labeled picture for each special book nook is printed on a vertical banner. On the left side of the banner next to the book nooks are clips with each student's name and number. The clips are rotated every day after reading workshop so that all students get to enjoy each book nook an equal number of times throughout the school year.
Knowing where they will read each day allows students to transition very quickly from the mini-lesson to IDR time.

Lindsey Vonn Airlifted to Hospital After Scary Ski Jump Crash
American skier Lindsey Vonn was injured today after a ski jump landing went wrong during the super-G at the world championships in Austria. You can watch her crash on video here — it looks like she lost balance and hit her head, then her ski came off and she slid off-course until coming to a stop. Scary.
According to the AP, Lindsey received medical treatment for 12 minutes on the slope before being airlifted to the hospital.
We hope Lindsey heals quickly!
In other recent LV news, the Olympic gold medal winner revealed to People that she suffered from depression for many years, but she's moving forward in her life. She's also apparently teaching Tiger Woods's kids how to ski, leading to romance rumors between the two.

Dutch carrier KLM has become the latest airline to adopt a retro-style livery, painting a Boeing 737-800 in a historic scheme to mark the company's 90th anniversary. It was founded on 7 October 1919, and within five years had expanded from regional routes to serving its first intercontinental destination in Indonesia. It began transatlantic operations, to Curacao, in 1934. Read on…
Here's a video of the KLM Boeing 737 taxiing.
More retro liveries include an Air France A320, SAS back in 2006 painted an A319 in retro colours, Finnair's A319 in the livery designed in the 1950s. And last year Monarch celebrated 40 years in business with the original 1968 uniform.
To see more airline liveries see our gallery on AirSpace.

Making MaxMSP talk to sparkfun bitwacker
Items needed:
1. Bitwacker board (sparkfun.com)
2. Usb cable
3. Boot Down Application
4. uosc -1.04 folder
Please visit https://netfiles.umn.edu/users/vasu0002/MaxMSP-Bitwacker.zip?uniq=-htd5oa to obtain the required files.
Double click on the Boot Down Application to open it.
Open the uosc-1.04 /hex/Which Firmware To Use.txt for instructions in programming the bitwacker device.
Follow the instructions. For this device the recommended HEX file is uOSC-1.04 PIC18F2455BITWACKERTTL_PORTBINT.hex
After following these steps, quit out of the Boot Down application. See if MaxMSP talks to the bitwacker by connecting it to the computer via the usb cable. Then open uosc-1.04 /max/display/uosc.display-bitwacker.mxb in MaxMSP.
There is a corresponding MaxMSP interface to the board. In other words, the '/ra/#' and '/rb/#' in MaxMSP correspond to the 'RA' and 'RB' columns on the board respectively. To make any '/rb/#' patch an output, use the drop down menu within the '/rb/#' patch and select 'output'. Then press command E and connect the the outlet of this patch to the inlet of the 'usc.io' object. Press command E again and the toggle switch should be able to turn the corresponding outlet on and off.
To convert the input interfaces to output interfaces like above, press command E. Copy and paste a '/rb/#' output patch for duplication and press command I for the Inspector and edit the Arguments row to provide the correct new name for switching the corresponding outlet on and off.
Could you name a few audio/video objects that I could look into for integrating the web into max? I tried look up 'url' or 'web' - but found it very difficult to find anything..
Here's some advice:
Try to find the app "RVL Enabler" (if you do please post a link!)
Is there a schedule for final project presentations? I talked to Andrea about the equipment and space for my performance and it sounds like it can happen as long as I get everything scheduled for checkout. Just not sure when to check it out.
