Thirty years ago, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, two avid fans of adventure comics, put their heads together and created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — a franchise of graphic comics, animated series and movies that has thrived for three decades.
A trilogy of live-action movies came out in 1990-93, followed 14 years later by "TMNT," a computer-animated film. Now a reboot is hitting the screens in a flurry of recent releases that have revisited comic book franchises.
Amid the prerelease buildup of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," there have been lively social media debates focusing on red flags that have gone up regarding Michael Bay's involvement — he serves as a producer, not a director, and has his share of detractors because of the "Transformers" series, despite its massive success — along with concerns about director Jonathan Liebesman, whose previous efforts — "Wrath of the Titans," "Battle Los Angeles" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" — have taken their hits from critics and viewers. Then there is the casting of Megan Fox, whose depth as an actress has been questioned, in the pivotal role of April O'Neil.
The good news is that under Liebesman's direction, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is a visually spectacular summer action movie. It follows the usual blueprint of the good-versus-evil story, with the heroes facing overwhelming odds but who are able to summon the courage, skill and resourcefulness to vanquish a foe.
The opening segment gives a nod to the early comic, with those artistic renderings used as a backdrop while Splinter (Danny Woodburn, but voiced by Tony Shalhoub), the genetically-enhanced and intelligent rat, presents a voice-over, recalling how he raised the four turtles — Raphael, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Donatello — since they were babies and how he used the ninja principles to instill discipline as well as physical preparation in the turtles.
Still residing incognito in the sewers of New York, the four turtles are eager to battle bad guys despite Splinter's assessment that they are not ready yet and sneak off to right wrongs, knowing they probably will endure the wrath of Splinter when they return.
The screenwriting team of Josh Appelbaum ("Alias"), Andre Nemec ("Alias") and Evan Daugherty ("Snow White and the Huntsman") has the turtles going up against their usual enemies: Shredder and his Foot Clan, which have a grip on New York City.
Fox's April O'Neil is a TV reporter for a local news agency who, along with her cameraman/colleague Vernon Fenwick (Will Arnett), goes around the city covering fluff stories (or "froth stories" as Vernon calls them), though she pines to handle hard news. One night, she witnesses the thwarting of a Foot Clan burglary on the docks by four mysterious beings, but her story is met with skepticism by her boss, Bernadette Thompson (Whoopi Goldberg). Even after Fox survives a hostage situation that is diffused by the turtles, she cannot find anybody to believe her story, not even Vernon.
Doing research on her own, she discovers the secret of the turtles and her own involvement years earlier, and with nowhere else to go, she takes the information to Eric Sachs (William Fichtner), a scientist colleague of her late father.
Nothing, however, can stop the inevitable battles between the four teenage turtles and Shredder, with April and Vernon — in the role of the reluctant hero — in the middle of things.
With the standard plotline, the usual chase and fight scenes, and constant peril, the writing team needed to inject character into the story. And here is where "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is elevated. The writers captured the essence of the four turtle brothers, each with a unique personality, and the very real interplay one would expect from teenage siblings.
Michelangelo (Noel Fisher), the free spirit, has the showiest scenes via his overt flirting with April. Leonardo (Pete Ploszek and voiced by Johnny Knoxville) is the leader of the group, the tactical designer, protective of his brothers and dedicated sensei student. Raphael (Alan Ritchson) is the aggressive one who can be sarcastic. Donatello (Jeremy Howard) is the inventor and technical genius.
The turtles engage in verbal interplay, even in the midst of mortal danger, that is full of wit and playful digs at each other.
As for the humans, Fox is fine as April — a role that demands more physical than emotional action, leaving open the possibility of deeper character development in the likely sequel or two. Arnett's character also lacks any true development other than being pulled into incredible situations because of his affection for April.
In the end, it is the bond between the four teenage mutant ninja turtles and the way they feed off each other — when not gnawing on pizza — that in this movie, as well as in other media, makes these characters so astonishingly popular.

HANG TIME, Texas — It's summertime and that means that all NBA coaches are undefeated. They have sunny forecasts for their new lineups, hot plans for training camp and picture nothing but blue skies for the 2013-14 season openers that will tip off in less than three months.
But let's face it. Some of these men won't make it to the February trade deadline. A couple could get the ax before Christmas. Then again, we can count on the cream of the crop to get the most out of their teams.
So let's go right to next April and figure these are the five most likely to be filling my Coach of the Year Award ballot:
Erik Spoelstra, Heat — There is not a more thankless job in the NBA than being coach of the best team with best player. Oh sure, you get the championship rings and a nice paycheck, but not all the respect that's deserved and certainly very few of these awards. Even though Phil Jackson's teams won a record 11 titles in Chicago and Los Angeles, the Zen Master was named Coach of the Year only once (1996). Now it's Spoelstra who's getting the Rodney Dangerfield treatment, as if he's only around to be shoved aside by LeBron James when things occasionally get uncomfortable. However, it's more than just filling out the lineup card and rolling the balls onto the court when your team has won back-to-back championships, been to The Finals three years in a row and had a historic 27-game winning streak. When the Heat check in with the best regular-season record again in April and embark on their quest for a three-peat, Spoelstra should finally get his due.
Doc Rivers, Clippers — All the time, energy and talks that went into getting Rivers to make the coast-to-coast jump will be proven worth it when this loose bunch of talent learns what it means to play with a purpose every night. Suddenly Clippers brass will be wondering why they wasted time tap-dancing the past two seasons with Vinny Del Negro rather than bringing in an elite-level coach to transform the Staples Center sideshow from Lob City carny act into a real contender in the West. Despite the summer on-court improvements by the Rockets and Warriors, L.A.'s upgrade on the bench will make a bigger difference. Maybe not in terms of wins (56) from last year, but attitude, poise and, eventually, playoff performance.
Tom Thibodeau, Bulls — If you had to cast him as a great movie character from the past, Thibodeau would be the Black Knight from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". Playing the entire season without MVP Derrick Rose? 'Tis but a scratch. Losing Luol Deng and getting Joakim Noah banged up in the playoffs? Just a flesh wound. The Bulls just keep grinding, because Thibs keeps grinding. He's a no-excuses guy who believes in defense and competing and can get that message across to his players. The only question about him is why it took so long for somebody to recognize Thibodeau as more than just an excellent assistant coach. Now, hopefully, he's got Rose back at full strength — left-footed dunks included — and that means Chicago is back to being more than just a streak-busting bane in the existence of the two-time defending champions. The Bulls are in the hunt because Thibodeau will never let them lose the scent.
Gregg Popovich, Spurs — You just can't have a list of the top coaches in any NBA season without including Pop. He's the dean of the fraternity — in fact, the longest-tenured coach in any major North American sport — and the truth is we could just give it to him every year and retire the trophy. So Tim Duncan pops back up with an All-NBA first team performance last season at age 37, Tony Parker continues to blossom and reach new heights at 31, the Spurs come within a 30-second mental breakdown of winning their fifth championship in June and the world acts like they'd found an elixir of youth. The truth is the Spurs simply keep drinking Popovich's Kool-Aid and continue to defy anyone who annually predicts their demise. When the real Western Conference contenders line up for the start of the playoffs next April, he'll have the Spurs there again.
Mike Brown, Cavaliers — The last two seasons that Brown walked the sidelines in Cleveland, his teams won 66 and 61 games — both the highest totals in the NBA — and yet it wasn't good enough. Brown earned Coach of the Year honors in 2009, but because the Cavs with LeBron James couldn't bring home the real hardware — the Larry O'Brien Trophy for a championship — he was shown the door. How interesting that now he's back and could get considerable recognition and even win this award again just for getting a young Cavs team out of the lottery and into the playoffs. Brown was out of his element in that Lakers experience, but being back in Cleveland will put his thumbprint on the defense and produce enough of an upbeat season to maybe even get LeBron looking back home again as a free agent in the summer of 2014.

WOMAN: Hulking, sullen, traps that could stuff an NFL running back.
MAN: Effete beta, deferential to his wife, smug libfag smirk because he's proud of himself for signaling his male feminist bona fides. ("Ladies and gentleman…my beard! I wouldn't be where I am today without him..er, her.")
COUPLE: Bitter black affirmative action queen who longs for real black man dick, and spiteful tragic hipster gay mulatto who adopted black power identity and hates White people, especially his late mother with the boy's name and lifelong penchant for fucking District 9 set extras.
CONTEXT: President and First Macaque of the United States of America.
Beta males, especially those of the cuck variety, have a knee-jerk urge to publicly elevate their wives to positions of influence in their lives that are all out of proportion to reality. Jeb!, Kasich, Cruz…they all did it. A little self-abnegating generosity toward the wife is fine until it turns hyperbolic and comically supplicating. Beta males still haven't learned that the handicap principle is easy to abuse and backfire on them, and that a man has to show a little alpha gumption before he can safely indulge some oily deference toward women.

Basic Principles of Colloid Science
Royal Society of Chemistry, Jan 1, 1988 - Science - 243 pages
This book provides an introduction to colloid science, based on the application of the principles of physical chemistry. Early chapters assume only an elementary knowledge of physical chemistry and provide the basis for more thorough discussion in later chapters covering specific aspects of colloid science. The widespread occurrence of colloids is stressed and the more important industrial applications of colloid technology are outlined. The final chapter deals with the future of colloid science and indicates the directions in which further developments are likely to take place. The book is ideal for undergraduate courses and, supplemented by further reading, for postgraduates too. It will also be useful to industrial research workers who wish to become familiar with the basic ideas and their many important applications to industry.

We're All OneWednesday, May 11th, 2011
I'm watching from afar as David and his homeless friend Jason play basketball under the bridge. One of the first things Jason says as he approaches me after their game is "we are all connected… we're all one." Looking me in the eyes with his arms held out wide, he steps close and gives me a long hug. He goes on to quote a passage from Psalms, talks to me about the angels that surround and protect us, along with a demonstration on how to protect myself should I ever be attacked by an unsavory character. More hugs follow.
It's no coincidence that I meet Jason for the first time the day after I saw the documentary "I AM". The whole point and purpose of the film is to acknowledge and celebrate the mysterious and profound interconnectedness we have with one another and all things. Not only is it a spiritual phenomenon, but this truth is being validated over and over again by scientific research throughout the world. It is in our DNA to be sympathetic, compassionate… we are born to be our brother's keeper.
Often as I walk the streets of the city, talking with, hugging, helping out and photographing strangers (some are members of our homeless community), Hebrews 13:2 comes to mind – "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it." Perhaps I have. I am discovering that we all have far more in common than not, and those with little more than the clothes on their back bless me more than words can say simply by being themselves and sharing even a brief moment of their lives with me. Thank you, Jason.
David McArthur writes in his book 'The Intelligent Heart' – "Love does not only transform our mental/emotional nature, it also involves the physical system of our body which goes through profound changes as well." As we give up our self-awareness to become more aware of the greatness and beauty that lies within others, not judging by outward appearances so that we might know and love them with our heart, we begin to experience life and relationships with one another on a deeper and much healthier level of interconnectedness, wholeness and wellness. This is where the kind of change we wish to see in ourselves and the world happens.
Jesus wasn't found among the most beautiful and affluent, rather he was ridiculed for befriending and loving those who are known as "untouchables" in some cultures. Jesus led by example, showing us how to love and give generously and unconditionally. Corinthians 9:7 says, "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." Like the message of the movie "I AM", it turns out that it is our intuitive heart's intelligence that guides us and not our cerebral brain. It is knowing, responding, loving and giving from our hearts that makes our community and world a better, safer place to live… one decision, one random act of kindness, one person at a time… starting with me and you.
by L.E. Erickson
"At the heart of each of us, whatever our imperfections, there exists a silent pulse of perfect rhythm, which is absolutely individual and unique, and yet which connects us to everything else." ~ George Leonard (1923-2010); American writer

Let $S_\infty$ denote the full symmetric group on countably many points and index the points by $\mathbb{N}$. For any weight (for lack of a better name) function $w:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb R^+$, define a subgroup $S_\infty(w)\subset S_\infty$ as follows:
$$S_\infty(w) := \{\pi\in S_\infty|\sum_{\pi(k)\neq k} w(k)<\infty \}$$
The intuitive idea is that given a weight function $w$ a permutation $\pi\in S_\infty$ is in $S_\infty(w)$ if the sum of the weights of all points moved by $\pi$ is finite.
There are two well-known examples of such subgroups:
$S_\infty(1)$ is the group of finitely supported permutations of $\mathbb{N}$ or equivalently the direct limit of the finite symmetric groups.
$S_\infty(\frac{1}{n^2})$ is simply $S_\infty$ since the series $\{\frac{1}{n^2}\}$ is convergent.
So in this context, I have been thinking about the group $G := S_\infty(\frac{1}{n})$. It is clear $S_\infty(1)\not\cong G$ since $G$ contains many subgroups isomorphic to $S_\infty$ (for example the set of all permutations of the points indexed by $b^i$ for $b$ fixed and $i\in\mathbb{N}$).
On the other hand,
$G$ contains a proper subgroup isomorphic to the direct sum of countably many copies of $S_\infty$, so in particular it is easy to see $S_\infty\not\cong G$ since in $G$ elements of infinite order always have nontrivial centralizers while in $S_\infty$ this is not always the case.
Question: Aside from the description of $G$ as $S_\infty(\frac{1}{n})$, is there any easy to describe/understand presentation of this group?
Primarily I am torn on whether $G$ is itself isomorphic to a direct sum of countably many copies of $S_\infty$; every time I attempt to describe such an isomorphism, there are elements of $G$ not accounted for.

BAGHDAD — Renewed sectarian killing has brought the highest death toll in Iraq in five years. Young Iraqi scholars at a Shi'ite Muslim seminary volunteer to fight Sunnis in Syria. Far to the west, in Lebanon, clashes have worsened between opposing sects in the northern city of Tripoli.
In Syria itself, "Shi'ites have become a main target," said Jad, an opposition activist visiting Lebanon from a rebel-held Syrian town, Qusair, whose brother died Tuesday battling Shi'ite guerrillas from the Lebanese militia Hezbollah. "People lost brothers, sons, and they're angry," Jad said, using a nickname for safety.
The Syrian civil war is setting off a contagious sectarian conflict beyond the country's borders, reigniting long-simmering tensions between Sunnis and Shi'ites, and, experts fear, shaking the foundations of countries cobbled together after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
For months, the fighting in Syria has spilled across its borders as rockets landed in neighboring countries or skirmishes crossed into their territories. But now, the Syrian war, with more than 80,000 dead, is inciting Sunnis and Shi'ites in other countries to attack one another.
"Nothing has helped make the Sunni-Shia narrative stick on a popular level more than the images of Assad — with Iranian help — butchering Sunnis in Syria," said Trita Parsi, a regional analyst and president of the National Iranian American Council, referring to President Bashar Assad of Syria. "Iran and Assad may win the military battle, but only at the expense of cementing decades of ethnic discord."
The Syrian uprising began as peaceful protests against Assad and transformed during two years into a bloody battle of attrition. But the killing is no longer just about supporting or opposing the government, or even about Syria.
Some Shi'ites are pouring into Syria out of a sense of religious duty. In Iraq, random attacks on Sunni mosques and neighborhoods that had subsided in recent years have resumed — a wedding was recently hit — as Sunni militias fight the army.
With Sunni-led Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey backing the uprising against Assad, who is supported by Shi'ite Iran and Hezbollah, sectarian splits simmering since the American invasion of Iraq are spreading across a region already upended by the Arab uprisings.
These broader antagonisms that fuel, and are fueled by, the Syrian war are primarily rooted in clashing geopolitical and strategic interests: the power struggle between Saudi Arabia and Iran; Iran's confrontation with the West about its nuclear program; and the alliance between Hezbollah and the secular Syrian government of Assad against US-backed Israel.
But sectarian feeling has seeped in. Iraq has been especially vulnerable. With the Sunni majority in Syria battling to overthrow a government dominated by Assad's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ism, some in Iraq's Sunni minority grew emboldened by the prospect of overthrowing their own Shi'ite government.
The United Nations mission to Iraq said Saturday that more than 1,000 people were killed in violence across the country last month — the highest monthly death toll in years.
Today, many Iraqis feel they are on the road back to the dark days of 2006 and '07, the peak of sectarian militia massacres by Shi'ites ascendant after years of oppression under Saddam Hussein, and by minority Sunnis disempowered by his fall.
While the 2007 US troop surge helped to limit bloodshed, random attacks against Shi'ites never ended. What was different was that the Shi'ites, who finally felt in control of the security forces, stopped retaliating. But that seems to be changing.
Sunni militias have risen up to fight the army, and for the first time in years Sunni mosques and neighborhoods are being regularly targeted. The first notable attack was in April, at a cafe in the Sunni neighborhood of Amariya; it started late at night as young men played pool, and it left dozens of people dead.
While it is unclear who is responsible for the new violence, many Sunnis blame the government, or Iranian-backed Shi'ite militias.
In Lebanon, clashes between Alawite and Sunni militias in Tripoli have reached their worst level in years as each side blames the other for carnage in Syria.
In Syria, the government and its opponents insist that their civil war is not a fight between religious sects. Rebel leaders say their only aim is to depose a dictator. Assad says he is fending off extremist terrorists, and he is careful not to frame the conflict as a fight against the country's Sunni majority.
Assad's affinity with Hezbollah and Iran is primarily strategic. Though his sect provides bedrock support, most Alawites are secular, and the country's fewer than 200,000 Shi'ites are a much smaller portion of the population.
Like Iraqis — who long insisted they were Iraqis first, and blamed outsiders for the rise of sectarian identity, yet descended into bloodletting — Syrians on both sides fear and disavow the slide into sectarianism.
But in real terms, Shi'ite Hezbollah and the Sunni-dominated Al Nusra Front, a radical Sunni group allied with Al Qaeda, have emerged as two of the strongest militias facing off in the Syrian civil war.
Both sides have also been willing to tap into sectarian alliances and emotions. With the West hesitant to fully support the opposition, rebels accepted help from Al Qaeda in Iraq, a Sunni militant group, and the reliable pipeline of weapons and cash flowing from extremist Sunni donors to jihadists, whose calls for an Islamic state found support among some Syrians influenced by hard-line clerics in Saudi Arabia.

How to Use
The roads and paths of Mount Auburn Cemetery were laid out in a pattern designed to complement the natural, picturesque beauty of the rugged, wooded site. Early monuments were scattered widely throughout the rather dense, native forest growth, in stark contrast to the barren, flat, unplanted burying grounds of the inner city.
1. Based on the map, what features made Mount Auburn Cemetery such a desirable place to visit? What might the shaded areas represent?
2. If you were standing on the top of the hill labeled "Mount Auburn" in the southern section of the site, what would be the shortest path to reach the Entrance at the far north edge of the site?
* The map on this screen have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a larger version of Map 2, but be aware that the file may take as much as 46 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

In an attempt to perform this action I have overridden the event using:
this->Connect (ID_MyEvent, wxEVT_AUI_PANEBUTTON, (wxObjectEventFunction) myHandler);
The handler function then uses the following (m_mgr is declared private in this class).
wxPanelInfo temp = m_mgr.GetPane (SamplePane);
And the restore method (in a different pane, same class).
wxPaneInfo temp = m_mgr.GetPane (SamplePane);
Adding debug information (a pile of log data, IsShown, hasCaption etc) shows that the SamplePane is still active and is correctly hidden and shown programatically, however the frame manager successfully hides the pane (removes from display) however the pane is never reshown.
Any thoughts?

Anne Hathaway hosted Saturday Night Live for the third time last night and I can see why they keep asking her back. She throws herself into every sketch with those long Gumby limbs and almost cartoonishly expressive face of hers. And I mean both as a compliment. Anne Hathaway on SNL makes me wish she did more comedy -- she's a natural.
She didn't always have the best material to work with. Overall this was not a brilliant episode. But she turned everything they gave her into gold. Here are my favorite Anne Hathaway sketches from last night.
Homeland. I don't even watch Homeland, but I thought this was hilarious. The ugly cry, the cork boards, Agent Brody's small mouth -- all so funny. Anne's hysterical Carrie Mathison/Claire Danes was... hysterical.
The Legend of Mokiki. This was the rolling-on-the-floor moment of the show. I don't even know why this was so funny, but it was. Anne is really game about letting Mokiki spew green slime in her face and then doing the Sloppy Swish with him. And now you have the Sloppy Swish stuck in your head, right?
Girlfriends. Okay, I've heard some criticism that this sketch wasn't funny, and I guess you'd just have to be a girl to appreciate it. Anne was spot-on as the super-cool new best friend, but I thought Aidy Bryant was the real star.
Ellen. Most of this sketch was "meh," but Anne's take on Katie Holmes was heee-lars. Her Katie side smile bit was especially wicked. NBC doesn't have a video up of it yet.
American Gothic. This sketch starts out slow but is worth hanging in there. In case you lost patience with it and did the Sloppy Swish to the kitchen for more ice cream here it is below. Anne's lizard pose and her crossed eyes (she's so consistent with that!) are brilliant.
What were your favorite sketches from last night?

That's the message being delivered by Friends of Rose Creek, a grass-roots environmental group overseeing the lower Rose Creek area between Interstate 5 and Mission Bay.
Named for San Diego Pioneer Louis Rose, Rose Creek is an urban stream that drains through Rose and San Clemente canyons south through Pacific Beach, emptying into Mission Bay.
One of 18 member groups of a larger umbrella organization, The Rose Creek Watershed Alliance, Friends of Rose Creek has a plan for how it would like to see lower Rose Creek evolve.
"Our vision is for lower Rose Creek to be an open-space park, providing recreational and learning opportunities and a clean, healthy, aesthetically pleasing environment for residents, visitors, businesses and native plants and animals, while serving as an accessible link for bicyclists and pedestrians to move between Rose Canyon Park, Marian Bear Park, Mission Bay Park and surrounding communities," according to the mission statement for Friends of Rose Creek at saverosecreek.org.
"We decided to adopt the orphan stretch of Rose Creek, [which is] not considered parkland, from Mission Bay Park to Rose Canyon Open Space Park and the southern end of Marian Bear Park north of Highway 52," said Karen Zirk, who spearheaded the Friends of Rose Creek organization in 2004. "We decided to take that on since nobody else would, linking the communities of University City, Clairemont and Pacific Beach, which the creek flows through."
Zirk said the organization's tagline is "connecting our communities."
How Zirk came to create the Friends of Rose Creek organization is an interesting tale. She said she "inherited" the task of starting a creek environmental support group from a colleague.
"He handed me this creek and I said, 'I'm not sure what to do,' " Zirk said. "I'd taken in stray dogs before — but never a stray creek."
The idea behind the organization, said Zirk, is to have a working group that not only safeguards and enhances Rose Creek watershed, but also strives to further the interests of recreationalists and other user groups.
"This is a major bicycling corridor and we're concerned about bicyclists being able to ride safely and legally," said Zirk. "We're also involved in environmental issues like preserving native plants, and in protecting the salt-marsh estuary in the lower portion of Rose Creek, which is a very critical fish-spawning area for Mission Bay."
Friends' sponsors a native-plant garden near Rose Creek Cottage and recently unveiled an environmental mural painted by community members near the Mike Gotch Memorial bike and pedestrian bridge that spans Rose Creek and connects with North Mission Bay Drive and Pacific Beach Drive.
"We decided early on that we needed to have some regular events to ground us and keep us focused on what we're doing within the watershed," said Zirk. "So we have our monthly meetings every first Wednesday at 6 p.m. at La Jolla Rec Center, where we discuss upcoming events and planning efforts and review environmental documents."
The organization also sponsors regular cleanups of Rose Creek. The next cleanup is scheduled Saturday, April 26 at 9 a.m. at Mission Bay High School.
One of the organization's small core group, Billy Paul of Clairemont, is a lifelong canyon hiker who became environmentally active after discovering wildlife was being killed by motor oil released illegally into storm drains.
"I became interested in trying to save our canyons from being destroyed by people who would dump stuff in them trying to get rid of it," he said.
He said he adopted Rose Creek because "it's a nice little canyon creek that's been ignored and considered a flood-control channel."
Concerning best practices in watersheds, Paul said that "by not littering and throwing things away in it, you're making it not only a really nice place for us, but for other animals … a place where you can really get away from the urban environment."
The task of managing and helping to plan the future of the 23,427-acre, 36-square-mile Rose Creek watershed, which includes the 467-acre Marion Bear Park, falls to the Rose Creek Watershed Alliance.
In 2005, the alliance was established to help create a plan to help improve the watershed. After nearly five years of consideration and public input, the San Diego City Council accepted the "Rose Creek Watershed Opportunities Assessment" plan.
"We're dedicated to planning the future of the Rose Creek watershed," said alliance coordinator Kelly Makley, who said the group was created to allow public participation in creation of a master planning document for managing the watershed.
Armed with grant funding, Makley said the alliance is involved in practical projects, like replacing non-native species with those that are native, to restore the wetlands environment of Rose Creek.
"We try to raise awareness that what people are doing upstream in the watershed is flowing all the way down and impacting Mission Bay, one of the most valuable parts of San Diego's economy, drawing more than five million visitors a year," Makley said.

In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
[6:38] We didn't leave anything out of this book
One of the greatest religious discoveries of all times is the discovery of the Mathematical Miracle of the Quran. This discovery was so unique that while strengthening the faith of the true believers it exposed all the hypocrites and those who have disease in their heart, they could not see it or appreciate it.See 74:31 God knows that they do not deserve to see it. God called His Mathematical Miracle that is based on number 19 , "One of the great Miracles" 74:35 (where 7+4+3+5=19).
God is teaching us in the Quran that one of the main functions of the Mathematical Miracle of the Quran is to prove to the true Muslims (Submitters) that QURAN ALONE is all that we need . About the alleged Hadiths and Sunna of the prophet, God already told us who is making these up, in 6:112 & 25:31; the enemies of the prophets from humans and jinns. God called on His true believers to uphold ONLY the BEST hadith, the Quran.
One of the great statements in the Quran is the statement in 6:38, "We did not leave anything out of this book" This statement which is part of verse 38 of sura 6 is 19 Arabic letters. Not only is this verse number 38 (19x2) but the statement itself is 19 letters. The message it carries is very important , QURAN ALONE.
In the early writing of Dr. Rashad. Khalifa about the Mathematical Miracle of the Quran, he mentioned this verse often in his call to accept the QURAN ALONE, as the ONLY message of the Prophet Muhammed and discard all the fabrications seen in the alleged Hadiths and Sunna. After the discovery of the Mathematical Miracle of the Quran, all the Islamic nations celebrated the discovery and treated Dr. Khalifa as a hero. They invited him on many occasions to give lectures or talks about the discovery. As soon as Dr. Khalifa declared that Quran ALONE is the message that we should follow and that the alleged Hadiths and Sunna are full of fabrications that contradict the Quran, he was put on the black list. His work on the mathematical miracle was attacked and his character was assasinated in an attempt to send the people away from the proof that Quran is the ONLY book we need for our salvation. In one of the early attempts by one of the Oil-rich states in the Middle East to attack the miracle, they paid one of their hired Scholars to write a book attacking the Miracle that God called "One of the great Miracles". He filled it with lies and gross linguistic, historical and religious mistakes in a desperate attempt to attack the miracle. He even failed to count the number of letters in the small first verse in the Quran, 1:1
Not only did he attack the Miracle of God but also ridiculed God and His use of Mathematics in supporting His book. One of the statements that the "well-paid" Scholar attacked was the statement in 6:38, "We did not leave anything out of this book." Not only , did he fail to count how many letters in that statement but he also failed to recognize this verse as referring to the QURAN ALONE. (As per God system, this does not happen by his choice but God prevented him from knowing how to count the 19 letters or understand the verse). His only purpose was to oppose the Mathematical Miracle, and the call that Quran is COMPLETE, PERFECT AND FULLY DETAILED. He would do anything including opposing the Quran to defend the fabrications and lies that filled the alleged books of Hadiths and Sunna. He would oppose that at any price except for what he was paid for. He is only one example of how the scholars can be bought to corrupt what any political government want to corrupt.
NOW, this statement in verse number 38 that has 19 letters has been found by a SELECT group of scholars to indicate that QURAN is complete and has everything.
By the SELECT Scholars that the same oil rich state hired to re-edit the translation of Yousuf Ali.of the Quran.
We never needed their view, but God had it out from between their teeth to expose the liars and hypocrites and spoil the oil money put in the pocket of the first Scholar who is still blind in his darkness, confused. Here is a reproduction of part of the Preface of the latest edition of the Quran by Yousuf Ali, King Fahd edition. On page iii, we read the following :
The Quran enjoys a number of characteristics unique to it ALONE, some of which are as follows:
It is the actual Word of Allah; not created but revealed for the benefit of all mankind.
[25:1] Most blessed is the One who revealed the Statute Book to His servant, so he can serve as a warner to the whole world.
It is COMPLETE AND COMPREHENSIVE. The Almighty says:
[6:38] All the creatures on earth, and all the birds that fly with wings, are communities like you. We did not leave anything out of this book.** To their Lord, all these creatures will be summoned.
In another place we read:
[16:89] The day will come when we will raise from every community a witness from among them, and bring you as the witness of these people. We have revealed to you this book to provide explanations for everything, and guidance, and mercy, and good news for the submitters.
For what they attacked Dr. Khalifa and hired Abu Amina for, now God forced them to admit and put it in the Book they are giving the people.
[8:30] The disbelievers plot and scheme to neutralize you, or kill you, or banish you. However, they plot and scheme, but so does God. God is the best schemer.
By the way, both number 8 and number 30 are strongly related to number 19. Number 19 is mentioned in Verse 30 of sura 74. Number 8 is the index of the prime number19.
Remember always 6:38; "We did not leave anything out of this Book (QURAN)."

Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean + Taylor Swift Win 2011 Billboard Touring Awards
Just 24 hours after the biggest night in country music, three country artists received big honors at the 2011 Billboard Touring Awards. Joining rock greats like U2 and Journey, country stars Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean and Taylor Swift received acclaim at the 8th annual awards, which were held at New York's Roosevelt Hotel.
Chesney won Top Package for his Goin' Coastal Tour with Zac Brown Band, Uncle Kracker and Billy Currington. The tour, which ran from March through August of this year, came after Chesney's yearlong touring hiatus in 2010.
Aldean was the recipient of the Breakthrough Award, after winning his first two CMA Awards just one day before. Swift, the reigning Entertainer of the Year, took home the award for Concert Marketing and Promotion for her Covergirl-sponsored 2011 Speak Now World Tour, which is still on the road headed through Florida and the Carolinas.
Calculated based on global box office numbers acquired by Billboard Boxscore between Oct. 1, 2010, and Sept. 30, 2011, the Billboard Touring Awards take a moment to shine the spotlight not only on the performers but on the hundreds of people who make their tours a reality.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
It's not just that the West risks upsetting Israel by signing a poor nuclear deal with Iran, warned a French lawmaker at the weekend, insisting that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will follow through on his threat to attack the Islamic Republic.
According to Israel's Channel 2 News, French parliamentarian Meyer Habib urgently phoned his nation's foreign minister as the latter was taking part in talks between Iran and Western powers in Geneva. Habib's message was clear: "I know Netanyahu. If you don't toughen your positions, [he] will attack Iran."
Netanyahu and most other Israeli officials view the deal currently on the table between Western powers and Iran as woefully insufficient, as it does not require Tehran to dismantle a single centrifuge and leaves the Islamic Republic very much capable of building nuclear weapons in the future.
Israel has repeated stated that it cannot allow Iran to go nuclear, or to possess the ability to go nuclear.
These are not idle threats, said Habib. Western powers must "toughen our positions in order to prevent war," he reported told French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius.
It was shortly after that reported phone call that France is said to have "thrown a wrench" in the negotiations. Talks stalled on Sunday, with both sides agreeing to meet again later in the month.
It was not the first time France has directly warned the international community that Israel is deadly serious about preventing Iran from attaining nuclear weapons.
In early 2010, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy repeated cautioned that failure to take action by the West would lead to war between Israel and Iran.

OU Faculty Senate– Norman Campus
The Faculty Senate reiterates the importance of an active participation process between University administration, staff, students, and other relevant parties in matters related to long-term financial plans and short-term budgetary actions. To foster effective collaboration, we offer three fundamental principles to guide meaningful and useful discourse.
Efforts to restore budgetary collaboration between the administration and the Budget Council will help assure that the University budgeting process follows generally-accepted, good financial management practices, will maintain fiscal prudence, and will promote adequate and appropriate long-term sustainability as required for the institution. To achieve this, we offer these suggestions:
· The participation of the Budget Council throughout the development of the annual budget request should be substantially increased, with an expectation that the council will have regular work sessions to discuss budget issues and to make recommendations.
· There should be transparency starting with information sharing and continuing into budgetary deliberations concerning the future, current, and historical revenues and expenses. Potential adjustments to the operations of the institution should be presented to the Budget Council and reviewed on a regular and recurring basis.
· To ensure that meaningful and timely input can be provided, information concerning the impact of budget projections on employee compensation and benefits must be routinely provided to shared governance groups, such as the Budget Council, Employee Benefits Council, the Senate Executive Committee, the Faculty Compensation Committee, and the Faculty Welfare Committee.
Over the course of time, it is anticipated that the University will confront a variety of issues having differing time horizons. Some will represent concerns that may arise far into the future and will affect the long-term sustainability of the institution; others will represent problems that must be addressed in the short-term in order to operate within annual revenue and resource estimates.
Long-Term Issues
· Examples of substantial longer term issues include: [1] rapid growth in the cost of employee health care coverage, which are affected in part by independent external forces, [2] retirement health care costs, which may be viewed as unfunded future budgetary mandates, and [3] other substantial externally mandated expenditures applied to the university above those currently foreseen, which could include requirements for increased institutional support of system-wide OTRS shortfalls.
· These long-term issues require long-term strategies and may even require more permanent changes in fiscal structures and arrangements as well as changes in the benefit programs we offer to be more in line with current best practices. Issues such as these should be considered as part of the regular activities of shared governance groups. Proposals that will impact former, current, and future employees should benefit from an extended vetting period where information is shared and feedback is gathered before decisions are finalized.
Short-Term Problems
· This category includes unexpected increases in utilities costs, as well as any budgetary cutbacks that occur due to substantially decreased revenues affecting the fiscal needs of the upcoming academic year. Substantial decreases in legislative allocations to the institution in a given fiscal year for whatever reason are a good example of a "short term problem."
· Short-term problems should be addressed through short term and temporary solutions whenever possible, avoiding permanent modifications to existing policies and benefits. Only after such problems have persisted or deepened should the institution consider promoting them from short-term to long-term problems, with the latter necessitating more permanent forms of remediation.
The essential mission of the university is to educate its students. The single most vital component in delivering this education to students is the faculty. To reduce the support of the faculty is to take aim at the very heart of the university. We request that the university take every measure to preserve its educational mission. To achieve this, we recommend these fundamental strategies:
· Make every effort to minimize impacts to the fundamental educational mission and consider the short-term and long-term impacts of any changes.
· Invite input from all affected parties throughout the decision-making process. Their involvement is critical to avoid deterioration in the quality of faculty, staff, students, and mission achievement from budgetary reductions.
· Encourage maximal flexibility within colleges and units for short-term budgetary reductions. If long-term cutbacks are required, allow similar flexibility as much as is practicable.
· Consider how to effectively share the burden of reductions across the entire academic community making sure to balance this value against disproportionate impacts to less financially advantaged persons.
· Remain sensitive to the employment expectations established when employees joined the institution. Maintaining a competitive position will require consideration of how changes in compensation will impact both recruitment and retention. Employees who committed to the institution in difficult times should be rewarded for their loyalty.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to acetaminophen/diphenhydramine/phenylephrine: oral liquid, oral powder for reconstitution, oral syrup, oral tablet
Cardiovascular side effects of acetaminophen have included two cases of hypotension.
Cardiovascular side effects of diphenhydramine have included hypotension, tachycardia, and palpitations.
Cardiovascular side effects of phenylephrine have included palpitations, arrhythmias, and cardiovascular collapse with hypotension.[Ref]
Two cases hypotension have been reported following the administration of acetaminophen. Both patients experienced significant decreases in blood pressure. One of the two patients required pressor agents to maintain adequate mean arterial pressures. Neither episode was associated with symptoms of anaphylaxis. Neither patient was rechallenged after resolution of the initial episode.[Ref]
Dermatologic side effects have included erythematous skin rashes. Acetaminophen associated bullous erythema and purpura fulminans have also been reported. Acetaminophen has been associated with a risk of rare but potentially fatal serious skin reactions known as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP).[Ref]
One study has suggested that acetaminophen may precipitate acute biliary pain and cholestasis. The mechanism of this effect may be related to inhibition of prostaglandin and alterations in the regulation of the sphincter of Oddi.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects of acetaminophen have included rare cases of acute pancreatitis.
Gastrointestinal side effects of diphenhydramine have included nausea and dry mouth.
Gastrointestinal side effects of phenylephrine have included nausea.[Ref]
Genitourinary side effects of diphenhydramine have included urinary retention and dysuria.
Genitourinary side effects of phenylephrine have included dysuria.[Ref]
Hematologic side effects of acetaminophen have included rare cases of thrombocytopenia. Methemoglobinemia with resulting cyanosis has also been observed in the setting of acute overdose.
Hematologic side effects of diphenhydramine have rarely included hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and agranulocytosis.[Ref]
Alcoholic patients may develop hepatotoxicity after even modest doses of acetaminophen. In healthy patients, approximately 15 grams of acetaminophen is necessary to deplete liver glutathione stores by 70% in a 70 kg person. However, hepatotoxicity has been reported following smaller doses. Glutathione concentrations may be repleted by the antidote N-acetylcysteine. One case report has suggested that hypothermia may also be beneficial in decreasing liver damage during overdose.
In a recent retrospective study of 306 patients admitted for acetaminophen overdose, 6.9% had severe liver injury but all recovered. None of the 306 patients died.
A 19 year old female developed hepatotoxicity, reactive plasmacytosis and agranulocytosis followed by a leukemoid reaction after acute acetaminophen toxicity.[Ref]
Hepatic side effects of acetaminophen have included severe and sometimes fatal dose dependent hepatitis in alcoholic patients. Hepatotoxicity has been increased during fasting. Several cases of hepatotoxicity from chronic acetaminophen therapy at therapeutic doses have also been reported despite a lack of risk factors for toxicity.[Ref]
Most commonly, hypersensitivity to diphenhydramine has manifested itself in patients receiving systemic drug after being sensitized to it by topical application. Sensitization with systemic administration has also been reported.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects of acetaminophen have included rare reports of anaphylaxis and fixed drug eruptions.
Hypersensitivity side effects to diphenhydramine have included rash, pruritus and eczema. Photosensitivity reactions have also been reported.[Ref]
Nervous system
The CNS depressant effect of diphenhydramine parallels its plasma concentrations. The plasma concentration threshold for sedation is 30 to 42 ng/mL, and to cause mental impairment is 58 to 74 ng/mL. Patients should be warned against driving while taking diphenhydramine.
Dystonic reactions have been accompanied by dizziness, mental confusion, rigidity, lip and tongue protrusion, trismus, torticollis, and swallowing difficulties and generally resolve spontaneously. Toxic encephalopathy has been reported in a child with chicken pox treated generously with topical diphenhydramine.
Delirium has been reported in elderly patients with mild dementia following a small oral dose of diphenhydramine.[Ref]
Nervous system side effects of diphenhydramine have included depression with drowsiness and sedation in nearly all patients treated. Motor skills may be impaired. Dystonic reactions have been reported after single doses of diphenhydramine.
Nervous system side effects of phenylephrine have included headache, dizziness, nervousness, restlessness, tremor, insomnia, convulsions, and central nervous system depression.[Ref]
Renal side effects of acetaminophen have included acute tubular necrosis and interstitial nephritis. Adverse renal effects are most often observed after overdose, after chronic abuse (often with multiple analgesics), or in association with acetaminophen-related hepatotoxicity.[Ref]
Acute tubular necrosis usually occurs in conjunction with liver failure, but has been observed as an isolated finding in rare cases. A possible increase in the risk of renal cell carcinoma has been associated with chronic acetaminophen use as well.
A recent case control study of patients with end-stage renal disease suggested that long term consumption of acetaminophen may significantly increase the risk of end-stage renal disease particularly in patients taking more than two pills per day.[Ref]
Respiratory side effects of acetaminophen have included a case of eosinophilic pneumonia.
Respiratory side effects of phenylephrine have included respiratory difficulty.[Ref]
Psychiatric side effects of phenylephrine have included hallucinations, fear, and anxiety.[Ref]
General side effects of phenylephrine have included pallor and weakness.[Ref]

I had not made plans to go with the Picknick Painters this week but things changed last-minute and they were going to Killalea. I thought that I may not be able to do this again for a while because of other commitments, so I threw my stuff in a bag, a book on Philip Guston for Kaye, some book binding notes and my sketchbook. It looked pretty black towards the south so I wasn't expecting to stay long. Killalea had its own plans for me.
It's beauty never fails to amaze, pushed to the edge by McMansion after McMansion just a small mottled concrete barricade to stop the grey roofs from spilling in on the green hills. To the east, Bass Point, a quarry and the constant rumble of trucks on dirt that disappear behind the hill. To the west vivid yellow-green hills and escarpment hem us in even further. For me it's the view northwards that tugs at my attention and draws me away from the natural beauty.
The stack sits embedded in a finger of coast, surrounded crucifixion like be a scattering of smaller inconsequential chimneys. Mum always said -"I know I'm home when I see that stack." Each time I look at it, it conjures childhood memories in some form. Scanning out to sea eastward from the stack, the five islands off Port Kembla float amongst the shipping containers like large bags of jetsam. The last page in my sketchbook contained notes on jellyfish within the lake. Images and sketches sometimes merge and I found myself humming "Five Jellyfish sitting on a rock…" meanwhile I sketched my thoughts. A tanker towing the island and in turn the island towing the jellyfish. It made me think of the dreaming stories associated with the local Wodi Wodi people of the starfish and the whale.
I couldn't decide whether they were heading ashore or out to sea but it made me think of the red suitcase, a symbol of my need to run, to escape.
Each time I work it feeds more and more into the lake series which is becoming stronger in my mind through my experience in this landscape. I feel I have opened the suitcase a little more, perhaps feeling more ready to settle.

There are many good, and easy Linux distributions to get started. They all have their upsides and down (some more than others). Many distributions are tracked on distrowatch. Popular distributions are not always best, but sometimes having lots of other people using the same software as you can be a good thing, when you are running into a problem.
Some distros that have been proven to work fine:
After getting your distribution installed (which is beyond the scope of this documentation), please make sure you have these packages installed (as well as the development versions of them):
Zypper is the native command line interface of the ZYpp package manager (sponsored by Novell) for installing, removing, updating and querying software packages of local or remote (networked) media. Its graphical equivalent is the YaST package manager module. It is available in openSUSE since version 10.2 beta1.
You can type this exact sequence from the command line. This has been tested on OpenSuse 11.1, but future versions may vary, but should be close.
$ sudo zypper patch
$ sudo zypper install autoconf automake bash binutils bison bzip2 \ coreutils flex gawk gcc gettext grep intltool iputils libtool \ glibc-devel liblzo2-2 lzo-devel libncurses5 libglib2.0-dev libpixman-1-dev\ m4 make pax-utils pkg-config rpm texinfo zlib
$ sudo zypper install gpm gmp-devel libmpfr1 mpfr-devel
$ sudo zypper install xorg-x11-devel
make xconfig", you need a few other things:
$ sudo zypper install gcc-c++ qt3-devel gtk-devel libglade2-devel
$ sudo zypper install libusb-dev libftdi-dev
$ sudo zypper install bc dejagnu expect psmisc rsh xorg-x11-server-extra

$ sudo zypper install mingw32 nsis
The Debian tool apt-get Advanced Packaging Tool (APT), is very popular, has been adopted by many distributions, as well as Debian based Distributions including Ubuntu.
You can type this exact sequence from the command line. This works on Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016) - other versions, or other apt-get distributions may vary, but should be close.

make xconfig" instead of "
make menuconfig", you need a few other things:
$ sudo apt-get install g++ qt3-apps-dev libgtk2.0-dev libglade2-dev qt4-qmake
Note: In the case that
make xconfig makes trouble, you should first try the following:
sudo update-alternatives --config moc"
and select moc-qt4 for recent bfin kernel (2.6.38 or more recent), and select moc-qt3 in other cases. Do "
make distclean" and you're done. If moc-qt4 is not listed, a system upgrade may be necessary (e.g. Ubuntu requirement: 11.10).
With distribution "
make config_qconfig" (or xconfig), you may need to invoke "
make -C config/kconfig clean" if a build problem occurs.

i am 75 years old and i am 5ft 7in tall and weigh 194 i have started walking on the thread mill for 1 hr a day for 3.5 miles i would like to find a good meal plan
Good for you for taking an active role to better your health—you could probably be a role model for many much younger than you! Regular physical activity and a healthy eating plan that incorporates lots of delicious fruits and vegetables are great general goals for anyone interested in staying healthy or trying to get fit. Specifics on personalizing these goals to suit you should come from a one-on-one counseling session with either a registered dietitian (RD) or your healthcare practitioner. They can monitor your progress and offer suggestions as you work toward your personal goals. Best of luck to you—be sure to check our website (https://www.fruitsandveggiesmorematters.org) for lots of tips and suggestions on incorporating colorful fruits and veggies into your meal plan!


text: Hi, From what I understand it has to do with "locking" on the SAN devices by the GFS drivers. Yes.. you are right.. most implementations will have separate IO and compute nodes... in fact that is the recommended way.... what I had meant in my earlier statement was that "I prefer data to be distributed amongst nodes - IO nodes - rather than have them centralised in a single SAN backend. GFS + NFS is painful and slow as you have experienced it... hopefully RHEL V4 will bring about better performance and new features to address HPC by GFS (unlikely but just hoping).

The Likely Cause of Addiction Has Been Discovered by Johann Hari
Posted by Vincent Banial
I just ran across an eye-opening article by Johann Hari which was posted ion the Huffington Post website. The article was about addition. The main focus was Drug Addiction, but everything applied to other types of so-called addictions like Gambling, Alcohol and Smoking Cigarettes.
Experiments with rats in cages have shed light on the cause of addiction. A huge intravenous drug problem in Portugal a few years back was handled very differently. Portugal results confirmed the results of Rat Park Experiments by Canadian Psychologist Bruce K. Alexander and his colleagues at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada.

I thought about my past. When I was running my Computer Company I was smoking up to 2 packs of cigarettes a day. When I closed my company after 5 years, I stopped smoking. No nicotine patches, just quit cold turkey. I had never thought much about it, until I read Johann's article posted on the Huffington post site.
It made sense why I was able to quit. as in the Rat Park experiments, I had changed cages. His post also opens one's eyes to why there is heavy drug use in different forms of employment. Many Musicians visit my Uniquely Toronto blog. Being a Musician puts one into a certain type of Rat Cage (going back to the Rat Park experiments). Very successful Musicians, such as Prince for example self-medicated with Drugs. Many great Musicians lost their lives to Drug Addictions. Great Rock Bands while Touring were known to destroy Hotel Suites. I had often wondered why that was. Johann Hari's article explained why?
I am fascinated by the Rat Park experiment. It explained why I was able to kick my two pack a day cigarette habit with no help. I will also be doing more research into this and more posts should result.
One other takeaway from this is that many in Law enforcement speak of Cannabis / Marijuana as being a "GATEWAY" drug which leads to using drugs like Heroin and Cocaine. The Rat Park experiments prove that to be very incorrect. Portugal's experience with the way they handled their major drug problem, also proves that there are no such things as Gateway Drugs.
