Texans' Foster returns to practice
Houston, TX (Sports Network) - The Houston Texans activated All-Pro running back Arian Foster from the active/physically unable to perform list Wednesday, with the hope he'll be ready to go when the team opens the regular season in less than three weeks.
Foster, the 2010 NFL rushing champion who led the league with 17 total touchdowns last season, had been sidelined all throughout training camp with a strained calf and soreness in his back, participated in a portion of team drills for the first time this summer on Wednesday. Head coach Gary Kubiak told reporters afterward that the three-time Pro Bowl selection is unlikely to play in either of Houston's two remaining preseason games, but he expects Foster to be available for the club's Week 1 matchup against San Diego on Sept. 8.
The fifth-year standout is coming off a 2012 campaign in which he ran the ball an NFL-high 351 times for 1,424 yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground, his third consecutive season of at least 1,200 rushing yards and 10 scores. Foster added 40 receptions totaling 217 yards and two more touchdowns.
With Foster back practicing, safety Ed Reed is the lone Houston player still on the PUP list. The veteran free-agent addition is still recovering from offseason hip surgery and remains questionable for the opener.

Two For One: Poached Pears and Red Wine Syrup
On the weekends we like to do projects that will give us meal building blocks for freezing and later use. Sometimes these take a little extra time, so the weekend is the perfect time to invest in later meals. A current favorite is this two-for-one project: poached pears and red wine syrup.
Poached pears are an easy, oh-so-sophisticated way to build a salad or a dessert. They're also relatively light, which is good for our current diet-consciousness.
All you do is simmer pears in red wine, along with sugar and spices, if you want. You are left with gorgeous red-hued pears, creamy white inside and tender. They are sweet, rich and slightly spicy with cinnamon and cloves. We like to add fresh bay leaves to our poaching liquid too.
The pears can be halved and filled with lightly sweetened whipped cream or mascarpone (an idea we saw at Grant's blog) for an elegant dessert. Or they can be sliced up and tossed with blue cheese and dark greens for a winter salad. They are made ahead and keep fine in the fridge.
Many recipes instruct you, however, to discard the red wine that you poached the pears in. We were surprised at this since it is at this point nearly identical to the base recipe for one our very, very favorite dessert tricks: Spiced red wine syrup.
We put this over everything - vanilla ice cream, orange cake, custard. It's full of flavor and sweetly rich and delicious. Plus it's even easier than the pears; you just simmer down a bottle of red wine with some sugar and cinnamon until it's a thick, shiny syrup.
Like we said - good with anything! The liquid remaining from the pears is perfect for simmering down and reducing into a syrup like this. Add a little extra spices if you want.
If you don't have time to reduce it then, pour into a bag and freeze until you want it.
And of course, it goes without saying that the ideal dessert in this vein would be poached pears, homemade vanilla ice cream, and spiced red wine syrup poured over it all. Yum!
Below: that easy, delicious Nigella clementine cake with red wine syrup.
Pears Poached in Red Wine
1 bottle red wine
5-6 pears, peeled
1 1/2 cups sugar
Spices - two cinnamon sticks, a few cloves, a few coriander seeds - whatever you want
Pinch of salt
Combine all ingredients. Simmer for about 30 minutes or until pears are tender. Let pears cool in the poaching liquid. Drain off poaching liquid and slice the pears to serve.
Spiced Red Wine Syrup
Poaching liquid from pears, above
Simmer the liquid down until it is reduce to about 1 cup. Don't let it burn, and cover slightly to keep red wine from spattering your stove. Will keep very well in the fridge or freezer.

Pears poached in red wine are scrumptious.
I recently made some for a party.
For mine, I made a caramel first and later added the poaching liquid.
The pears were served with mascarpone cheese that was whipped at the last moment and flavored with orange zest and powdered sugar. Toasted hazelnuts and thin and crispy cookies added some texture to the dish and a fresh bay leaf provided a little color and aroma.
One tip for restoring a cutting board like the one above which appears to have been white at one time: a sharp-edged paint scraper like this one--http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004YNMW?smid=A1HBR2G6AYLBTG&tag=dealtime-tools-20&linkCode=asn
It will shave a very thin layer of the plastic, restoring it to its original color and getting rid of the knife cuts. Just make sure to scrub the board very well to get rid of any bits of plastic shavings.
and if you don't drink, don't like wine, whatever, is there an alternative liquid you can poach pears in and still get a nice dessert?
@lindsey kathlene,
You could try a version poached in pomegranite juice. Just substitute the wine with pomegranite juice. It will most likely be more sour but I believe that it may be just fine balanced out with the sugar.
You could also try non-alcoholic wine.
You can try tea, too - especially Earl Grey and light green teas. I haven't done this yet but have been meaning to try.
I made a red and white wine poache pear tart from the cover of Bon Appetit many years ago for my family and still have that issue because it's so beautiful but easy to make. Just poach two pears in red wine and two in white wine. Make a pie crust and creme patissiere, put on bottom of cooked pie crust. Alternate quarters of the poached pear--white, red, white, red and put a little whipped cream in the center. Wow your friends and family!
Hey kaanswfm, I remember that recipe and lent the issue to someone and...never got it back. Anyway, this recipe was fab and I'd love to make it again. I'd love to get the detailed recipe and maybe get it scanned and emailed for nostalgia's sake. I thought that I remembered a glaze poured over that, or did I just invent one? Anyway, I am new to the blog and wondered if that can work in any way. Also, I remember that there was a recipe for Easy Cheesy Onion Rye Ring (wasn't that in this issue too?) That one I have been able to recover on the internet. It was a good one!

HP: Meg Whitman's tough talk is a good start
Her blunt assessment of HP's woes stung investors, but at least she's facing the facts.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) CEO Meg Whitman, who took over as head of the No. 1 PC maker after Leo Apotheker was moved out last year, is being penalized by investors for not mincing words about the enormous challenges that lie ahead for the iconic tech company. She has little choice because the company's results, released Thursday, were terrible.
Net income at the Palo Alto, Calif. company fell 44% to $1.5 billion, or 73 cents a share, down from $2.6 billion, or $1.17, a year earlier. Adjusted for one-time items, the profit was 93 cents, beating Wall Street's low expectations of 87 cents. Revenue fell 7% to $30 billion, missing analysts' forecasts of $30.7 billion. To her credit, Whitman, who rose to fame as the CEO of eBay (EBAY), gave a blunt assessment of HP's problem and pointed out that it will take years to fix them.
"We are not managing for short-term objectives," she said during Thursday's earnings conference call. "We are taking advantage of this opportunity to position HP for success, not for the next quarter, but for decades to come."
Comments like that don't depress investors' expectations, they pulverize them. So, it's not surprising that shares of HP, which have plunged more than 36% over the past year, closed 6.5% lower, at $27.05, on Thursday. In fact, it's all too predictable.
One of the big lies of the quarterly earnings dance between Wall Street and Corporate America is that struggling companies can rebound through the sheer force of a CEO will. The reality is far more complex. Having a cooperative economy, and some luck, also helps.
As Whitman noted, HP is paying the price for years of poor decisions. For instance, more than half of the company's revenue drop resulted from the disruption in storage drive supplies caused by the floods in Thailand. This highlights a weakness in HP's supply chain. Attempts to divert resources to higher-margin products failed because of operational issues.
"We didn't make the investments we should have during the past few years to stay ahead of customer expectations and market trends," Whitman said. "As a result, we see eroding revenue and profits today. We need to invest now as a market leader from a position of strength."
Easier said than done. Most of HP's businesses struggled during the last quarter. The personal systems group, which includes PCs and notebooks, saw revenue decline 15% to $8.87 billion. The printing business posted revenue of $6.26 billion, down 7% year-over-year. Revenue in the enterprise servers, storage and networking division slumped 10% to $5.02 billion.
The bright spots were services, where revenue rose 1% to $8.63 billion, and software, where sales rose 30% to $946 million, thanks to the acquisition of Autonomy.
One of Whitman's first decisions as CEO was to reverse Apotheker's plan to sell HP's PC business. Determining whether she made the right decision will take a while.
But the company's future may depend more on tablets, and HP plans to release one that'll operate on Microsoft's (MSFT) upcoming Windows 8 operating system. HP canceled plans to release a tablet that would have run on the webOS operating system it acquired when it bought Palm.
The new tablet is key for Whitman. She's betting that businesses will buy the HP device because it will offer more security features than Apple's (AAPL) iPad. In theory, if a corporate client likes the HP tablet, it may be more inclined to buy HP's higher-margin products and services. The strategy makes sense. However, it also puts HP up against IBM (IBM), which has been hugely successful in this arena.
Whitman, though, has little choice but to try this risky approach even though the results may not be immediately apparent. Time, however, isn't on her side.
Find out what RIM, another once-glorious tech company, is doing with its tablet business as it tries to get back on its feet.

And with that the great mobile patent wars quiet down. I
anticipate that Google will offer patent indemnity to its partners
in short order. The public price is $12.5 billion, but given that
MMI has $3B of cash on hand, it's really a $9.5B deal.
The various extortion and extinguishing rackets will disappear.
I've seen some questionable analysis from the regular shills
declaring that this changes nothing because Microsoft and Apple are
both suing Motorola: Microsoft's suit was utter desperation (it
could rightly have been called the "pretty pretty pretty please
will you make Windows Phone devices?" suit), and Apple's suit came
as a reaction to Motorola's lawsuit. Both have fizzed in the
background, with minimal claims, and have in no way represented the
apocalyptic all out patent warfare that comes.
Aside from the massive patent haul Google picked up, the other
element of this purchase that holds opportunity is the PVR
business: Motorola provides PVRs to a huge range of cable
companies. These are powerful little media computers that tend to
be seriously underutilized. They have ethernet ports and USB jacks,
yet most act as nothing but dumb terminals.
There is so much potential there. The only hindrance has been
the cable companies. Hopefully Google can provide some benefits
that help that industry modernize.
This deal is unfortunate only in that it demotivates Google from
their anti-patent quest. Now that they have a significant piece of
the pie, at a hefty price tag, they'll be less inclined to argue in
favor of much needed reform.
Update: Quite a few are noting, if not mocking, the similarities
in the press
statements by the various Android players. Of course they
are coordinated. Does anyone think they didn't have a get
together over the weekend to put on a common front? Does anyone
think they didn't coordinate their response?
It would have been concerning if their responses were of the no
comment, surprised sort. They weren't surprised.
What takes the award for the most hilarious response, however,
is once again courtesy of Gruber.
Warm and glowing these remarks are not, and the
sameness is a little creepy.
Warm and glowing? Should they have added smileys and hugs and
kisses? They seemed like exactly the response I would
As one aside, for a period today, and likely to repeat and then
maintain, AAPL's market value was greater than double that
of GOOG ($356B vs $177B).

Lake Chesdin money survives budget talks
CHESTERFIELD - A $5 million boost toward expanding Lake Chesdin - and hopefully head off drought conditions that have hit the Tri-Cities hard in recent years - floated through budget negotiations in the General Assembly.
If approved by Gov. Bob McDonnell, the Appomattox River Water Authority will be tasked with raising more funds for the project to increase the lake's capacity.
The legislation was carried by Delegate Kirk Cox, R-Colonial Heights, who deemed it a regional priority.
ARWA's board of directors met last Thursday at the South Central Wastewater Authority in Petersburg, when the budget amendment still hung in the balance as negotiations came to a head on major issues such as transportation, education and Medicaid.
"Obviously that doesn't cover the cost of the entire project," said Chairman Kevin Massengill, Dinwiddie County's administrator.
Cox has pegged the cost at $12 million, with the balance coming from ARWA and/or the member localities. The reservoir serves residents and industry in Petersburg, Colonial Heights, Chesterfield, Prince George and Dinwiddie.
The project aims to add 1.9 billion gallons of capacity to the lake, which dams the Appomattox River in Dinwiddie and Chesterfield counties. Raising the dam by 18 inches would expand capacity by about 20 percent and yield an additional 11 million gallons per day, according to a study commissioned by ARWA last year.
The water authority is moving forward with several other projects that could help minimize the effects of droughts, which have led to water usage restrictions in recent summers. Among the options under study is tapping into the Sandy River Reservoir during droughts. A $28,000 study will investigate if releasing water from Sandy River, located in Prince Edward County, would help replenish Lake Chesdin.
"That's one of the points of this study, to know if we've got that ace in the hole," said Roy Covington of Chesterfield.
"It's good to have alternatives in a dire situation," added Massengill.
On a smaller scale, the George Brasfield Dam will soon become high-tech. The board approved a $295,000 project to replace the water valve with a new one that can be digitally monitored and controlled. That may provide a more accurate reading of how much water is being released downstream, ARWA Director Robert Wichser said.
The project could start in March and wrap up in May, and the state Department of Environmental Quality has given ARWA a variance to retain more water than usual during construction.
"We're going to be potentially conserving water" Wischer said.
The reservoir is currently full and spilling water over the George Brasfield Dam, Wischer said. Water restrictions from last summer were dropped in January. Generally speaking, the last 10-12 years have been dryer than average in the area that drains into the river west of Lake Chesdin compared to historial data stretching back to 1947.
"The inflow to that reservoir has decreased," Wischer said. ARWA has filed a joint application for a new 15-year permit with DEQ, which is now in negotiations.
This balancing act between supplying water and protecting the Appomattox River downstream "has become more difficult as water demand and drought frequency have increased. In fact, since 2007 the reservoir level has dropped more than four feet each year with the exception of 2011," the authors of the permit write.

Sakuracon gay baskets day eEEEEYO
Alright Alright srs post now. I'ma tell you all a story about myself and this costume.
HI HEY HELLO THERE! My name is Sam, I'm 21 years old and 99% of my cosplays over the years are all BULLSHIT. I'm the type of cosplayer where, 'Hey! That looks p good in a photo!' but up close and in person you can see every corner I cut and easy road I take.
I'm okay with this.
I like to not fret so much over the accuracy or the completion of my costumes because I'd rather have fun in them then stress over them! So when Wreck it Ralph first came out and I had a moment where I dropped into fantasy land where I actually made this stupid fucking costume and got to run around and basically act like an asshole and feel really proud of it.
So I bought the wig.
And when I put it on I was overwhelmed with the feeling of 'jesus christ I actually want this now.' I really wanted to make the costume. I don't think I've ever felt that way about cosplay, and even so I hadnt felt it in a very very VERY long time. So of course when Sakuracon was rolling around the corner about 3 months out I finally decided to set it in stone.
Now I'm just gonna say this up front. I have never made armor before. Even just the concept still blows my fucking mind. So when I finally took the plunge and committed I already felt like I was diving head first into the deep end without my water wingies,
Then I found THIS tutorial for the Fem!Shepard armor from Mass Effect and suddenly everything seemed obtainable.
Of course this was all theory in my head when I was mapping this shit out at work so when I finally hunkered down and started working on the initial blue prints I was jerked back to reality that PROP MAKING AND CRAFTS ARE FUCKING HARD. So 724823984239 kudos to all you cray prop and armor makers out there this shit is cray.
I have most of the blueprints all laid out and good to go, so I go out and start buying some of the materials I'll need to start making it. One and a half days into starting I get hit with this overwhelming sense of 'what the fuckgujeos did I sign up for.' and I start stressing like its nobodys friggen business.
And as if an angel sent on high by God his goddamn self, Shelley, my darling my sweety my perfect honey bun, is hangin with me and says 'Oh hay my dad has a dremel tool and a heat gun you can use!'
SRSLY A GODSEND. That cut the work in half and gave me results that were actually looking up and the stress started bleeding away like a pressure wound that finally got an air hole.
So I start really gettin to work on this shit. My rule for those couple of months before the con was that I had to finish at least ONE thing every night. Sometimes I didn't sleep because I'd get really into it (I'm an amateur this shit is hard so sue me).
A couple of days before the con I have multiple hot glue burns, paint literally coated on my hands in the LAYERS (I still have some on my nails now and its been like a month jesus) and I am literally flipping my shit because none of its attatched and that was one of the more daunting aspects I was supposed to tackle.
Then Shelley Amanda and Kelsey came over and literally tossed my ass into the body suit and stayed up till 3 in the fucking morning the night before the con sticking strips of industrial velcro on and around my body. Shelley even took time out over Day 0 at the con to attach last minute pieces for me. I srsly dont know where I'd be without my darling angels jesusussss
So the day I'm supposed to wear it roles around and I get all strapped up and I'm feelin fly as fuq, and then I realized that I am a big fat baby and the entire costume put together hurts like a motherfucker. So I cant keep it on for very long.
BUT LONG STORY SHORT (TOLATE) when I was in the costume running around and making faces and generally having a good time even though my feet felt like there were going to fall off
Every single compliment, every single photo someone asked for, every glance or smile or anything made me want to cry with joy.
Now I'm not claiming this is the greatest armor every made or anything but it is by far the biggest project I've ever completed and I worked so goddamn hard on it. Even now, just seeing people reblogging and leaving such nice comments makes me all woobly because getting recognition for something you've put so much time and effort into is literally one of the greatest feelings ever.
So thankyou THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyones compliments and everything and heireslghnlwsg EMOTIONS.
a super UBER shout out to Shelley for keeping me sane through the entire creation process because I would have crashed and burned multiple times if it hadn't been for her and all of her help and being my own personal body guard at the con and generally being the greatest friend in exsistance <3
Also to my wrecking crew Lucas Jenna Max and Ryan for putting up with my whiny cry babying and generally being the greatest group in exsistance (srsly ilu guys so much it was WORTH THE PAIN)
And of course Alex for taking all the pictures and being so patient with us when we were dragging ass before the shoot and hgvelsGrgroj <3
I feel like this photo really captures the essence of the con
real photos soon this was just too good to pass up
there were quite a few wreck it ralph cosplays at con. this was the only one that had a calhoun and was all four of the main characters.

Our hourly rounding initiative helps us anticipate patient needs and addresses three big patient concerns: pain, positioning and comfort. Nurses and patient care technicians visit each patient at least once an hour to address any pain issues, help them change position, provide assistance going to the bathroom, and make certain patients have everything they need, such as the phone and television remote, within easy reach. In the intensive care units, physicians, nurses and therapists conduct multi-disciplinary rounds. This approach improves communication among caregivers, helps them anticipate patient needs and, ultimately, improves patient care.

History is little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind.
Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend.

Gorgeous Homes in Unconventional Spaces
Sometimes the most creative ideas come not from pure inspiration, but from problem solving. Having obstacles and limitations forces innovative thinking that can lead to pure design magic. So, I suspect, was the case when the owners of these structures, from a church to a cow stable, decided to turn them into homes.
Flavorwire compiled a collection of these unusual homes - all are beautiful. I love how each home was designed around the existing elements and keeps the flavor of its former life. There's a famous Chinatown punk club loft with funky red walls and even a cement factory which embraces the industrial feel with looming (and luckily unused) equipment. It's a lovely homage to buildings that have already lived one life and are now home to another generation and purpose.
Check out these and more re-imagined homes at Flavorwire.

Would love to see the interiors!
Wow do I ever want to see the inside of that fire station! Looks like my ideal house!
@QZIE - click the link, you get peek inside them all.
AWESOME collection of unique houses
Now THIS is pretty darn cool.
I remember seeing the cement factory one on MTV Cribs - a popstar lives in it, the architect is her step-father (I think) and I think they all live in it and her step-father has his offices there too (again, I think - I may be remembering wrong).

When we went into Iraq there was heated talk about "blood for oil." A look past the politics, military strategy and marketing spin shows a cause for true concern: It's China that's getting the oil, not us.
A brilliant article, "When China Ruled the World," by Thomas P. Barnett in the January 2011 Esquire, observes how the U.S provides the "Military muscle and China cleans up on the post-conflict resource extraction."
He continues: "In Iraq, our 'shock and awe' has resulted in China being the only state with oil contracts both north (Kurds) and south (Arabs). In Afghanistan, our counterinsurgency efforts continue while China plans a $3 billion investment in the Aynak copper mine. As for the People's Liberation Army casualties in both theaters: Zero."
How is this happening? The reasons are complex. One reason is that U.S. green spin is helping us get out-competed by the Chinese, who use fossil fuels (undaunted by environmental concerns and free of restrictive legislation) to fuel their powerful economic engine. That's not good for U.S. interests, environmental or otherwise. Misguided marketing that helps advance the unscrupulous fringe of the green agenda is shifting the U.S. environmental focus away from where it should be: Buying and extracting all the oil we can while burning U.S. coal — free from green attacks — while dusting off the construction manuals for (truly-green) nuclear power plants that could put millions of Americans back to work at high-paying "green" jobs.
So blood for oil was a legitimate concern after all. Too bad it's our blood for Chinese oil. We should have bought those oil contracts while the getting was good. Any chance we can move past where we are stuck today? The key to moving toward sustainability will be marketing communications programs that are based on sound science and economics, rather than spin spawned by ideologies that obstruct sustainability and economic growth.

Had a requirement to establish whether a provided string in a source system matched a valid pattern for email addresses today. Not to actually try to send a mail to the address, just to check that it was theoretically valid.
There is a useful bit of regular expression code available from Microsoft at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/01escwtf.aspx so all I had to do was work it into a script component. Here's how.
Add a script component to the data flow and set the properties you'll need. The input column will be the email address field you want to check, then add an output column with the DataType Boolean.
In the script itself, you need to add the regular expressions library to the script's using statements:
using System; using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
Immediately after this, add a new class to actually parse the email address and use the regex to determine its validity:
public class RegexUtilities { public static bool IsValidEmail(string strIn) { // Return true if strIn is in valid e-mail format. return Regex.IsMatch(strIn, @"^(?("")("".+?""@)|(([0-9a-zA-Z]((\.(?!\.))|[-!#\$%&'\*\+/=\?\^`\{\}\|~\w])*)(?<=[0-9a-zA-Z])@))" + @"(?(\[)(\[(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}\])|(([0-9a-zA-Z][-\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}))$"); } }
Finally, inside the ProcessInputRow add some code to execute the validation class on each row:
public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row) { string emailAddress; emailAddress = Row.EMAILADDRESS; bool valid = false; if (RegexUtilities.IsValidEmail(emailAddress)) valid = true; else valid = false; Row.ValidEmailAddress = valid; }
The field ValidEmailAddress will now be on the dataflow.

The man charged in connection with a string of kidnappings
and robberies in Raleigh faces four additional charges.
Walter Kevin Johnson, 28, was arrested Friday in connection
with eight crimes that occurred between Sept. 22 and Oct. 8. Among a number of
other charges, he faces nine counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, one
count of attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, three counts of
first-degree kidnapping and three counts of second-degree kidnapping.
On Monday, Johnson was charged with assault by pointing a
gun and assault on a female. On Tuesday, he was charged with obtaining property
by false pretense. And on Wednesday, he was also charged with obtaining
property by false pretense.
Johnson was stopped by Raleigh police on Glenwood Avenue
near Pleasant Valley Road around 1:15 p.m. Friday, police said.
Johnson's arrest came after an unidentified woman who lives
with him called 911 when she noticed "evidence all over the house"
that he may possibly be the suspect.
In a 911 call released Tuesday, the unidentified woman said
Johnson had "lately been acting really weird," adding that she wasn't
sure if he was even employed anymore.
When asked by the dispatcher why she suspected the man to be
the robbery suspect, the caller, who said she had a newborn in the home, said,
"I suspect it because there is evidence all over the house."
She said that he'd been returning home at 2 a.m., claiming
to have been at work.
Johnson, who is married with kids, was reportedly
experiencing financial problems, which investigators are looking at as a
possible motive for the robberies.
Recently, he owned an Internet marketing company called 1855
Media, which was headquartered in the Captrust tower in North Hills.
Johnson lives a couple blocks from Pleasant Valley Road,
where many of the robberies happened.
In total, Johnson faces 27 charges:
Raleigh police said the charges are related to crimes
committed on the following dates:
Law enforcement will continue to investigate the incidents.
Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison said he expects more charges to be filed
against Johnson. He also said there could be more arrests.

SUNDAY, Nov. 14 (HealthDay News) -- As children mature,
increased synchronization between specific areas of the brain alter
how they view themselves and others, a new study suggests.
This includes an increasing aptitude for introspection,
researchers say.
Georgetown University Medical Center researchers used functional
MRI to examine the activity of the five scattered brain regions
that comprise what's known as the default-mode network (DMN).
It's believed that the DMN -- which is only active when the mind
is at rest and allowed to wander or daydream -- plays an important
role in a person's introspective understanding of themselves and
others, and in the formation of beliefs, intentions and desires
through autobiographical memory, the study authors explained.
The researchers found that the DMN regions don't yet work
together in children ages 6 to 9. These areas light up in an fMRI
scan (which tracks brain activity in real time), but they do not do
so simultaneously. However, by ages 10 to 12, the regions begin to
function together and at ages 13 to 19 they're fully
"These results suggest that children develop introspection over time as their brains develop," first author and neuroscientist Stuart Washington said in a GUMC news release. "Before then they are somewhat egocentric, which is not to mean that they are negatively self-centered, but they think that everyone views the world in the same way they do. They lack perspective in that way."
The study was to be presented Sunday at the annual meeting of
the Society for Neuroscience, in San Diego.
The team also pointed out that previous research has suggested
that the DMN is not well synchronized in many people with

Americans are giving up steak for chicken
Tyson Foods is selling less beef and more chicken, which is hurting profit. The company cut its sales outlook for the rest of the year.
Shares of Tyson were down nearly 5% Monday after the company posted poor earnings and cut its sales outlook for the rest of the year.
Shoppers and restaurants are turning away from pricey beef and opting for chicken instead. Some appear to be moving away from meat altogether.
Tyson's beef volume in the second quarter fell 3.9%, while pork fell 2.2%. Chicken volume rose, but only by 0.1%.
And that's cutting into profit margins at Tyson. Gross margin fell to 4.85% from 6.47% a year earlier. "Our beef segment suffered margin compression as consumers opted for the relative value of chicken," CEO Donnie Smith said in a statement.
American shoppers will pay only so much for beef, and we may have hit that threshold. Wholesale beef prices hit an all-time high last week as summer approaches, Reuters reports. The price of choice beef, also called the "cutout," was nearly $202 per 100 pounds.
That record wholesale price will probably send the supermarket price for beef even higher. The average retail price for beef already hit a record $5.30 per pound in March, according to Reuters. The previous high was $5.15 per pound, set in November.
It doesn't help that the U.S. cattle population is at its smallest level in more than 60 years, one analyst told Reuters.
The trends were clear enough that Tyson cut its full-year sales forecast to $34.5 billion from $35 billion.
For the quarter, the company's profit fell 43% to $95 million, or 44 cents a share, from $166 million a year earlier. Sales rose by nearly 2% to $8.42 billion. Analysts were looking for profit of 45 cents a share on $8.58 billion in sales.

I like chicken well enough...quite well actually. But...replace my steak with it? ROTFLMAO! Not gonna happen! This article must have been commissioned by the chicken farmers or sellers of America!
Given a choice between a nice steak and a slab of chicken...the cow dies, the chicken lives! I'm eating the cow!
I'm not sure how good a measurement Tyson is since they're more well known for chicken, not beef.
Aside from price, on the one hand, beef needs to be eaten in moderation anyway; on the other hand, eating lean beef, baked potato and a salad a couple times a week can help in weight control(disclosure: I just have that meal once, but I notice the difference with that).
So, just like fish, once everyone 'figures' out that chicken is a better value, we will once again have supply and demand and then chicken won't be an affordable choice. So, what's next??? I guess we can all go vegetarian, and then, oh yeah, the cost of vegetables will be higher than they already are.

LANSING, MI (WTVB) - The State of Michigan will team up with federal officials to investigate the outbreak of fungal meningitis that killed 19 residents of the state. Michigan reported 264 cases that have been linked to tainted steroids produced at the New England Compounding Center in Massachusetts.
Attorney General Bill Schuette was joined Monday by the U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts in announcing the joint effort. They said that through a coordinated effort, investigators will be able to achieve justice for the 751 victims and their families. The last person in Michigan to pass away from the suspected tainted drugs was a 64-year-old Livingston County woman in July.

i have been given these matrices. $A\in K^{m \times m}$, $B\in K^{m \times n}$, $C\in K^{n \times m}$, $D\in K^{n \times n}$.
i need to show that if $A$ and $D-CA^{-1}B$ invertible, then $\begin{pmatrix} A & B \\ C & D \end{pmatrix} \in K^{(m+n) \times (m+n)}$ is invertible.
i know what invertible means: $A$ is invertible if $A A' = E$ where $E$ has dimension of $A$.
is there a light trick to know if it is invertible before calculation many things?
thanks a lot

|Markham, Walter
|Prisoner of War Letter
|This is the letter my grandmother received in 1914 from the German Army, I believe it portrays the element of moral decency of that period.
Walter Markham joined the 1st Batt. East Yorkshire Regiment in 1903 aged 16 years (he lied about his age). When the Great-War broke out his Battalion left for France on the 8th September 1914 and proceeded towards Aisne where they engaged the Germans in the 1st Battle of Aisne between Sep. 12th to 15th, theirs was the first East Yorkshire Battalion to see action in this war. The records show that the Germans used a high concentration of shrapnel bombs in this engagement and Walter received injuries from shrapnel and was subequently captured by the Germans and taken to 'Stead' POW camp and hospital where he was treated for his lifethreatening injuries. Whilst receiving treatment my grand-mother, who was unaware of his fate, received the letter from the prison camp. In 1915 he was amongst the first group of Excange Prisoners made between the Germans and Allies. He was discharged in 1916, after serving almost 13 years, as 'no longer physically fit for war service'. He was a lance-coporal, Regiment No. 7555.

Recovering fashion photographer.
This tumblr features my more personal work, along with various sources of inspiration.
They should update more often ;)
Not sure why this took them so long, or why they even needed a "rule" in the first place, but at least the various Vogue editors are finally recognizing that models for their so-called women's magazines should probably be old enough to drive. Via the NYT:
Beginning with their June issues, the editors of the 19 international editions of Vogue magazine have made a pact to stop using models under age 16 or those who, from the viewpoint of the editors, appear to have an eating disorder.
In a somewhat unusual announcement, unusual in that the magazines are wading into a controversial issue, the Condé Nast International chairman, Jonathan Newhouse, said on Thursday, "Vogue editors around the world want the magazines to reflect their commitment to the health of the models who appear on the pages and the well-being of their readers."
More at the link.
Via tFS:
Even though the CFDA issued a recommendation to designers urging them not to use models younger than 16 in their shows, two 14-year-olds walked the Marc Jacobs Fall 2012 runway last night. Thairine Garcia and Ondria Hardin are both represented by Ford Models, the only agency that reportedly included under-16 models in its show package. Apart from some bad press, thwarting the CFDA's initiative to improve protection to models in the fashion industry won't have any real consequences for either Ford or Marc Jacobs.
Whew. Teenagers might be temperamental and sometimes hard to work with, but Marc Jacobs' runway show couldn't have gone on without these young models. The looks they showed exuded a kind of girlish charm and effervescence that would have been lost on a past-her-prime 16-year-old.
Via the Guardian:
The writings of famous American radical and leftist community organiser Saul Alinsky are not the first things that come to mind when thinking about the plight of models working in the New York fashion industry.
Sara Ziff is aiming to change that.
Ziff, a New Yorker who has walked catwalks for Prada and Calvin Klein, will next week launch a workers' rights organisation aiming to improve the lot of a section of the American workforce usually more associated with glamour than poor working conditions: the modelling industry.
Ziff, 29, gives lie to the prejudice that models are just pretty faces. She has studied at Columbia University in New York, where she specialised in political science and came across Alinsky and other heroes of the American anti-poverty and workers rights' movements. "I think that Alinsky's Rules for Radicals made a very big impression on me," she said. "There is a sense that fashion is frivolous and a lot of people don't understand models wanting to organise for for better labour conditions. They probably see the profession as a privilege," she added.
So here comes Ziff's brainchild: the Model Alliance. It will start its membership drive from its launch date of February 6, aiming to sign as many as 1,500 models working in the New York industry.
Its aims are simple. They are to protect working models from exploitation, especially from sexual abuse, and to improve the lot of its members in terms of pay and working conditions. It has drawn up a "Models' Bill of Rights".

For this mission I would like to give some tips.First of all reach the GREASY JOE's cafe in Callahan Point where corpse manana is parked.You will see two Sentinals with Forelli brothers inside.One at right of car and other at a little distance away at left before you get into any car ram the right sentinal so that other both the forelli brothers can attack you.Make them follow you and take them far away to some spacious place and ram them so that their car can flip and then blast.Now get back to the manana and take it to the crusher.
Now you are done.Believe me this really works and I did this without any cheats and weapons.
Posted 13 June 2010 - 02:18 AM
A good example of a Liberty City specific tip is in the mission "Farewell Chunky Lee Chong." Make sure you have an uzi and get on a PCJ600 (you can find one parked at the gas station in Harwood). With the PCJ you can drive through the posts and get to the alley. Since you're on a bike you can easily catch up to Chunky Lee Chong and shoot him, passing the mission a lot easier than you could before.
Please don't post any more tips about easy missions that play exactly like they did in GTA3. If you want to do that, go to the GTA3 gameplay forum and post there.
Further posts that are like this will be deleted.

DEAD SKUNK IN THE TRUNK - Ram into one of the sentinals and make them chase you around a little. Then speed up tward a body of water somewhere (eg, the river between staunton and portland) and Bail out at the last second and the sentinals will most likely go flying into the water too.

Fuzzball - Maverick helicopter
Farewell Chunky - motorbike driveby
Van Heist - helicopter careening into the Securicar, feels funny to me
Cipriani's Chauffeur - enemy's advantage: ability to pop my tires when escaping the Laundromat
Dead Skunk - latest code should include ability to pop their tires or shoot them through the windshield
Triads And Tribulations - Hunter attack
Chaperone - dumping the three parked cars into the ocean more quickly by driving and bailing out
Turismo - motorbike race
Under Surveillance - Hunter attack
Paparazzi Purge - my second favorite trick, snipe the paparazzi from Asuka's condo, no chase needed
Pay Day For Ray - helicopter is speed
Shima - Hunter attack
Marked Man - helicopter chauffeur
Waka Gashira Wipeout - when dumping the Cartel Cruiser, bail out
A Drop In The Ocean - helicopter to pick up package
Grand Theft Aero - my most favorite trick, use the Hunter and shoot it down while it's in the air, it works!
Espresso 2 Go - helicopter to smash the stalls by landing on them
These are all from memory so there could be mistakes.

I'm guessing you're talking about "S.A.M." here. In that mission I like to use the Sea Sparrow as I often drown myself with the Hunter when I get the packages from the water.

Actually, I think the one about the bus and 'The Fuzz Ball' is LC specific, since in III, the bus could only seat two people (ironically cruel, but true).
