1997 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse
The Field Experience
The fieldwork for the 1997 NHSDA was directed by the project director and other senior staff members at Research Triangle Institute. A total of 24,505 completed interviews were obtained between January and December 1997. A completed interview had to contain, at a minimum, data on the recency of the respondent's use of marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol.
Strategies for ensuring high rates of participation (described briefly in Appendix B) resulted in an interview response rate of 78.3% for 1997. Of the 24,505 completed interviews, 13,607 were with whites and others (i.e., non-Hispanic, nonblacks), 4,639 were with (non-Hispanic) blacks, and 6,259 were with Hispanics. The response rates for the racial/ethnic groups were 75.5% for whites and others, 81.8% for blacks, and 82.5% for Hispanics.
Throughout the course of the study, the respondents' anonymity and the privacy of their responses were protected by separating identifying information from survey responses. Respondents were assured that their identities and responses would be handled in the strictest confidence in accordance with Federal law. The questionnaire itself and the interviewing procedures were designed to enhance the privacy of responses, especially during segments of the interview in which questions of a sensitive nature were posed. Show cards were displayed when questions concerning illicit drug use were asked, and respondents were asked to mark answer sheets to record their responses to questions read aloud by the interviewer. The interviewer did not see the completed answer sheets.

One more thing, about the hot weather.
I was trying to remember what it was like during a heat wave when I was a kid. Most people just had fans. We had one window unit air conditioner in our second floor apartment that barely cooled a small room.
When my dad came home he would immediately change and be walking around in his sleeveless tee shirt and boxers. If we were lucky he'd put his pants back on and take the family to Buffalo's on Irving Park for ice cream.
Sometimes we'd pile in the Buick for a ride to Belmont Harbor -- just sit -- cool off --look at the boats -- and have a refreshment-stand hot dog.
Back in the neighborhood, families would spend the evening hanging out in front of their houses, sitting on front stoops. Kids would be selling Kool-Aid or just waiting for the Good Humor man. I don't remember Harry Volkman making much of a big deal about the heat on the news.
I can't recall hearing any health warnings. Maybe the reporting wasn't as sophisticated, or I was just too young to care, or maybe we just coped better back then.


text: Jack [Lemmon] challenged Tony [Curtis] to test their new [drag] disguises in public. So with the knowledge of Billy Wilder, when they arrived at the public ladies' toilet, Jack and Tony started to pretend to fix their make-up in the mirror. Tony said: "I remember I was only doing just a little bit of mascara here and there on my eyes. Ladies were coming and going every two minutes, nobody batting an eye. I then looked at Jack through my mirror onto him and he was loving it! He was laughing and putting lipstick on and then I started laughing." [x]


text: BOSTON (AP) - Memory problems that are often dismissed as a normal part of aging may not be so harmless after all. Several research teams are reporting that noticing you have a decline in memory beyond the occasional misplaced car keys or forgotten name could be the very earliest sign of Alzheimer's. One study found that complaining of a memory decline preceded wider mental impairment by about six years. Another tied those changes to evidence of dementia on brain scans. The research involves memory lapses that are more pronounced than a mere "senior moment." These are bigger problems, such as getting lost while driving home. The studies were discussed Wednesday at the Alzheimer's Association conference in Boston.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Women's Studies Major Guide for 2008-2009
What is Women's Studies
Women's Studies encourages inquiry into the full range of human experience by raising new questions and opening new areas of research concerning women. The discipline enriches the traditional Arts and Sciences curriculum by adding new perspectives on women's lives and accomplishments. Women's Studies can broaden the education of both male and female students by helping them to understand the limitations placed on both sexes by narrowly defined sex roles. The program offers a major, a minor and a graduate certificate. The graduate certificate is designed to provide a supplementary perspective for students already enrolled in graduate programs, to provide an entry into graduate study for those who are exploring a number of disciplinary approaches, to provide enrichment for members of the community who have a BA or an advanced degree, and to develop skills for professionals in various fields.
Career Opportunities in Women's Studies
Wherever there is a need to understand women and an interest in the new roles they are playing in society, Women's Studies can enhance a student's career preparation and opportunities. Careers in public policy and government, education, law, health, journalism, and business may build on a foundation in Women's Studies.
Salary Trends in Women's Studies
An Arts and Sciences degree can propel students in limitless directions. Majors are not always the deciding factor as to what career path is followed. As with any degree, pre-professional experiences (volunteerism, work experience, internships, etc.) enhance the chances of obtaining desired employment and further affect the projected salary. As a group, Arts and Sciences graduates average $33,258 (www.careerbuilder.com).
High School Preparation
Students find that a broad preparation in critical thinking, logic, research methods, and writing skill is beneficial in completing a major or minor in Women's Studies. Students will be well-served by courses that promote an enjoyment of the arts, an understanding of diverse philosophies and methodologies, a tolerance for cross-cultural perspectives, and by building the skills needed to pursue basic as well as applied scholarship.
How to Major in Women's Studies
Students should be in good academic standing and should declare their major by the beginning of their junior year, but may do so at any point in their academic career. The chair of Women's Studies typically assists students in their course planning and signs advising cards and petitions.
Requirements for Women's Studies
The Major Concentration in Women's Studies consists of 30 semester hours including 12 hours of required courses. Required courses include one of the Images of Women in Literature courses (210 or 215), Women in Society (220), Emergence of the Modern American Woman (310), and at least three hours of Independent Study (493). An additional eighteen credit hours of electives complete the major and must include at least one course from each of the three major focal areas: Women's Heritage (383, 432, 453, 466, 483), Contemporary Issues (320, 340, 360, 375, 382, 410, 425, 434, 476), and Literature and the Arts (330, 332, 422, 433, 469). As its content varies, Women's Studies 400 may be included in any of these areas. Students are encouraged to take at least nine hours in one of the focal areas (heritage, arts, or contemporary issues).
The minor is comprised of 18 credit hours consisting of one of the images of Women in Literature courses (210 or 215), Women in Society (220), and an additional 12 hours of upper divisions Women's Studies courses.
Special Programs, Co-ops, and Internships
Foreign study (WS 491) and off campus study (WS 492) may count toward completion of the major and should be arranged in advance through an individual drop/add process with a specific faculty sponsor and approval of the chair of Women's Studies. The required independent study WS 493 is similarly arranged by individual drop/add with a specific faculty sponsor and approval by the chair of Women's Studies.
Highlights of Women's Studies
The Women's Studies program offers an education with outstanding scholars and artists across a wide range of disciplines within the humanities, law, health, and the social sciences. Women's Studies courses help students to develop critical thinking about the economic, social, and legal factors influencing women's roles in contemporary and historical societies, evaluating those roles in the widest possible perspectives.
Ready for the World
"Ready for the World" is part of a long-range plan to transform the UTK campus into a culture of diversity that best prepares students for working and competing in the 21st century. Thus students are encouraged to actively participate in the diverse cultural programs offered on campus. Some of these events include the guest lecture series, cultural nights at the International House, and international film screenings. Visit the Center for International Education website (http://web.utk.edu/~globe/about.shtml) or the Ready for the World website (http://www.utk.edu/readyfortheworld/) for more information on upcoming cultural programs and activities.
Students are also encouraged to develop a global perspective within their academic program through study abroad. Visit the Programs Abroad Office website (http://web.utk.edu/~globe/pao/) for information on study abroad opportunities.
Learn more about UT's Ready for the World initiative to help students gain the international and intercultural knowledge they need to succeed in today's world.

Walgreen feels pain of falling drug sales
The chain suffers for a fifth straight month after the termination of a contract with a key pharmacy benefits manager.
Walgreen walked out of Express Scripts' network last year over a reimbursement-rate dispute. Walgreen's dispute with Express Scripts and its prescription business exodus has significantly benefited its rivals, particularly CVS Caremark (CVS) and Rite Aid (RAD).
Walgreen and Express Scripts have recently dropped the legal claims filed against each other in September, fueling market expectations that there might be a reconciliation between the estranged companies. However, Walgreen has denied any connection between the withdrawal of legal claims and the possibility of a new contract.
Walgreen's sales continue to suffer
Walgreen's May sales decreased by 1.6% compared to May 2011 on reduced pharmacy sales, which were partly offset by the opening of seven new stores and the acquisition of 28 Bioscrip community pharmacies.
As a result, prescriptions filled at its comparable stores declined by 8.5%, leading to 4% lower pharmacy sales. Comparable-store pharmacy sales also were negatively affected by 4 percentage points because of generic drug introductions. Prescriptions processed by Express Scripts composed 12.7% of Walgreen prescriptions in May 2011 and contributed to a 10.8 percentage point decline in comparable-store prescriptions. Decreased footfall due to Express' exit also moderated front-end sales. Overall, 3Q sales for fiscal 2012 were 3.3% lower compared to the same period last year, with 6.5% lower comparable store sales and 9% fewer prescriptions.
Walgreen's biggest competitors, CVS Caremark and Rite Aid, have significantly benefited from the fallout last quarter gaining millions of new prescriptions as Express members looked for non-Walgreen pharmacies to fill their prescriptions, and ended up at CVS or Rite Aid stores. In particular, CVS has raised its full-year guidance, and is trying to make the new customers permanent, taking advantage of the delays in hammering out a new deal. CVS could tap up to 20 million transferred prescriptions if the impasse continues through 2012.
We value Walgreen with a $35 Trefis price estimate of its stock, 10% ahead of the current market price.
First of all, it's Walgreens, not Walgreen. Now then...
My husband is a long-time Walgreens pharmacist and pharmacy manager with over 20 years of service. Walgreens used to be a great place to work, but the culture has definitely changed in the last several years. It's tough to provide great customer service with unhappy employees. Pharmacy hours have been cut, tech hours have been cut, and store managers are not willing to help in the pharmacy. But that's just the tip of the iceburg.
My husband's store has lost 20% of their business with the Express Scripts debacle, through no fault of his own. Yet, corporate has demanded that HE come up with a plan to regain that business in his store. In addition, he is required to visit a certain number of local physicians to "market" the pharmacy -- on his own time. He is required to call local businesses and beg to let Walgreens set up a flu clinic at their location. He is not a salesman and has no desire to be. He is required to attend countless "leadership" and "marketing" meetings.
And, I would also like to note that he delivers excellent service to his customers. I know this because we live in a smallish community and we constantly see his customers while out and about. They are always happy to see him, call him by his first name, and strike up conversations. It is apparent that he is well-liked and respected.
But Walgreens is now more concerned with marketing and buzz words (Be Well!) than the happiness of their employees. Do more with less. Work harder. Sell, sell, sell! Sadly, my husband is looking for another job. All the stress, combined with the bad attitude from corporate, is just too much. It's such a pity... he used to be proud to work for Walgreens and now he is ashamed. Very telling.
I am an employee at Walgreens. I no longer enjoy working for them because you are so under- appreciated for your work and no matter how good of a job you do there is never a thank you - good job from managers / store manager. Nothing is good enough for them or for the District office or corporate. Sell, sell, sell is all they think of never thinking we are doing the best we can. We have to constantly bug customers to buy " suggestive sell items " at our registers. If we don"t we can be written up and lose our job. There is no caring about our customers ...this company thinks only of their bootm line and that"s why they are at the bottom of the list.. Right where they belong.
Most comments here are based on a customer service perspective. The poor service is a direct result of understaffed pharmacies due to poor reimbursement from Your Insurance company. I might add that reimbursement rates are negotiated by all the higher up corporate goons that never set foot in a retail pharmacy or pay for their own insurance or prescriptions so they are way out of touch with how it all goes down at the pharmacy counter. The real issue is that:
(Express Scripts = Your Insurance Company) is reimbursing (Walgreens & all other pharmacies for that matter) BELOW the pharmacy's cost to fill a prescription. Walgreens was the only major chain I know of that had the size, strength, and balls to say NO to Express Scripts for their strong arm / dirty pool / take it or leave it business tactics.
Here is a simple SHORT example of how it works everywhere: They fill your prescription with $10 worth of drug, hopefully they caught all the drug allergy, drug interaction, duplicate therapy warnings etc, to prevent your doctor from accidentaly killing you.
Express Scripts pays the pharmacy $1-2 dispensing fee and $6-8 for the drug. Barely break even and usually at a loss. It is now up to the pharmacy to make up the LOSS and pay their staff by selling you soap, bandaids, soda, etc...
You can not pay the pharmacy electric bill at the end of the day with reimbursment like this or provide enough salary to staff the pharmacy with enough pharmacists and staff (who mostly have Ph.D educations these days). It is a bare bones, race to the bottom business model.
Ever wonder why real pharmacists look unhappy and worried in contrast to those stupid TV commercials where the pharmacist stops everything they are doing to come out from behind the counter to talk to you,....most pharmacists work 12-14 hour shifts with NO Lunch, NO breaks, and NO technician help. This is due to inferior reimbursement from YOUR insurance company.
Don't be mad at the pharmacy, be mad at the insurance companies. The pharmacists are mad about this too.
Most of your insurance premiums go to Express Scripts Shareholders (yes they profit off your insurance premiums instead of providing you good health care) and to Express Scripts CEO's who make Millions/Billions for managing your prescription insurance. The pharmacy does not set the price or make any profit on your prescription Your Insurance Company or Pharmacy Benefit Manager does! How did this happen? I wish we could turn this around because this is not how it worked when my dad owned his own small town neighborhood pharmacy 50 years ago.
Don't be mad at the pharmacy, be mad at the insurance companies. The pharmacists are mad about this too.
Most Retail Chain Pharmacies operate at a loss if they are staffed well enough to fill prescriptions safely and provide good customer service.
Drug sales is a subject I have info which all Americans need to know and take heed. The cost of meds is far to great as is all medical costs here in the United States. I first must say America is the greatest country in the world and I would never want to live anywhere else. I was the third generation born on the cattle ranch where I grew up 55 years ago. I am pro business and as such a business must have profit , fair profit, to maintain existence, sustenance and grow.
At one point I also used Walgreens but changed to Walmart due to proximity. Now I have change to an on-line pharmacy. The reason for this is gouging costs. I am not looking for sympathy or a bleeding heart liberal. The latter is a lot of the problems we see today. I take a number of meds and 5 of those meds were costing me $732 per month to use, COPD. I lost my job in December and could not afford the cobra offered therefore I am on my own, no state aid, no SSI, no assistance. This out of pocket cost was destroying my limited budget at $25 per day cost. I began investigating the on-line pharmacies selling the same pharmaceuticals, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithCline,Teva and lowered my out of pocket cost to $2.50 per day for these 5 meds. What is wrong with this picture? How can Pfizer sell their meds on the open world market for a fair profit to a third party who in turn will mark this medicine up with a fair profit and sell it to me and ship it to me at a cost 1/10 the price of buying same med here in the local marketplace? Is the mark-ups the same to the states and federal agencies? Grossly overpriced? I stated earlier I am pro business, but at what point does fair profit turn to excessive greed and extortion? Last week I heard a brief partial news bite that the federal government will not allow the pharmaceutical companies to sell meds in the United States at world market pricing. Please someone enlighten me.
For those of us who understand...Walgreens generates 95% of their profits FROM prescription drugs...its glaringly evident that there are far too many people commenting on this thread that have NO idea what their talking about. Unlike Walmart, Costco, Target, [insert whatever big box store here]...they could care less about drug sales. They want you to take the long walk through the store and watch for the Blue Light Special - essentially they want you to buy stuff you don't need. THAT's THEIR bread and butter. Walgreens cannot (not will not....cannot) compete with them in that game. And neither can Rite-Aid or CVS! And yes...those guys will also taste the wrath of Express Scripts when their new contract(s) [at some point in the near future] ]come due. Watch and see.
That being said...the Walgreens 'suits' had better get their house in order, and remember from whence they came: Pharmacists placed in executive, decision making positions (as it used to be)! Quit hiring the egg-head, number crunching, pencil pushers; and start listening to what going on in the trenches. The bottom line IS customer service, you morons! Make service your hallmark [ once again]!
I hope you're reading some of these comments from customers regarding such. Let your pharmacists be pharmacists - they're not nurses or lab technicians, etc., et. al. And cutting Tech's hours isn't a move in the right direction either. Way too many Pharmacists are pushed to the limit!
I work for walgreens this ceo is the worst I have everseen. He will do walgreens in. He is very into technolgy but not for a human employee his goal is to have robots serving cusomers and do away with all human beings. Also treats employees like robots. Threating jobs if we don't say Welcome to Walgreens, and Thank you and be well. Most of my customers hate this and they want to be spoke to a perosn not like a robot that can't think or have any emotions at all.
While CVS enjoys this windfall they have not earned the business nor did they prepare knowing months ahead of time new business was heading their way.
Yes, they added staff but with complete idiots who know nothing about customer service and could care less about their new customers.
In the long run- they are heading for a fall and the retreat is on to alternatives
from sources that simply care.
I'm flat done with them !!
CVS is absolutely abhorrent with their service and customer care. Their pharmacy personnel change daily and there is no cohesive structure. My mother had 10 prescriptions there that were all refillable at the same time and were on their 'auto-refill' program. I would get the monthly calls that each prescription would be filled, and then a call that the prescriptions were ready. However, when I arrived to pick them up, only one or two of them were filled, they had to check the computer, they'd tell me I was wrong about the others, they were never on auto-refill, I never received a call - in short, I was lying and I didn't know what I was talking about. So we would get all the others on auto-refill, put in orders to get them refilled, arrange for me to drive back the next day to pick up the refills. I'd come back the next day and guess what. Only a couple had been refilled and we had to go through the whole dance again. I put up with this for a year (because Mother's Rx's were on Express Scripts) and then I said, "no more". I moved her Rx's to Walgreens where mine are and everything has been absolutely beautiful. And I wrote Express Scripts about the service at CVS and corporate CVS about the service at that store.
Sorry...should have read ALL the comments below before my comment...because I would have used more "CAPS" to emphasise the fact that I have NEVER had any difficulty with my local Walgreens Pharmacy in Bellevue, NE. They were ALWAYS on top of everything...even re-adjusting one of my wife's meds to our pay because it was better than the generic, which is all that Express Scripts would pay for.
Truly sorry to have lost Walgreens!

Which comes first, obesity or psoriasis? In children, at least, it appears to be obesity.
A new study of pediatric psoriasis cracked the chicken-or-the-egg question by investigating a group of overweight or obese children with psoriasis. Of the 27 children studied, 25—93 percent—were found to be obese or overweight at least two years before they developed psoriasis. Overweight was defined as having a body mass index (BMI) between the 85th and 95th percentile. Obese was defined as having a BMI in the 95th percentile or higher.
Results from the study, "Excess Adiposity Preceding Pediatric Psoriasis," were published last month in JAMA Dermatology.
Doctors noticed that the children they saw for psoriasis were often overweight, and tended to remain overweight throughout treatment. This observation led them to wonder whether children were overweight before they developed psoriasis. "I had a suspicion that the vast majority of kids would be heavy first," said Dr. Amy Paller, a co-author of the study.
Although the study involved a relatively small number of children, "the results were overwhelming," she said.
In addition to confirming Paller's suspicions, the study also shed new light on the importance of family history in the development of psoriasis and obesity. Researchers found that children with family members who were obese developed psoriasis an average of three years earlier than children whose families did not struggle with weight.
The family connection continues. Researchers also found that overweight children with psoriasis were more likely to have an immediate family member with psoriasis who also was overweight.
To Paller, the findings demonstrate the need for children and parents alike to make healthy lifestyle choices, like eating right and getting plenty of exercise.
"A lot of these kids come from families that have weight issues, which probably has driven some of the other psoriasis in the family," Paller said. "So there is good reason to make it a family deal, and encourage the entire family to get on the program with a healthy lifestyle."
Paller and her co-authors urge pediatricians and pediatric dermatologists to work together to further study the connection between obesity and psoriasis. A five-year study of at least 10,000 children would be needed to conduct a more extensive analysis, they note.

885cc, 100bhp, 130mph, Insurance group 14
Reborn Triumph's 900 Trident was about as straightforward a bike as Hinckley could produce, and also happened to be one of the best of the early machines. The three-cylinder motor was distinctive, flexible and robust, the handling, though tall, better than the average roadster and it was comfortable, attractive enough and versatile, too. No wonder the Triumph Trident lived longer ...
885cc, 84bhp, 119mph, Insurance group 13
The Triumph Tiger is a versatile tourer and inter-city commuter with the same rear wheel power as a BMW R1150GS. The Triumph Tiger is handy in the bends, rides easily and the wide seat, 24-litre tank and good screen put long-distance commuting and touring well within its capabilities.

February 12, 2013, 8:31 PM — When you hear the expression "big data," the next word you will often hear is "Hadoop." That's because the underlying technology that has made massive amounts of data accessible is based on the open source Apache Hadoop project.
From the outside looking in, you would rightly assume then that Hadoop is big data and vice versa; that without one the other cannot be. But there is a Hadoop competitor that in many ways is more mature and enterprise-ready: High Performance Computing Cluster.
HPCC Systems is a spinoff from data services company LexisNexis that has been powering that company's massive $1.5 billion data-as-a-service (DaaS) business since the early 2000s.
Like Hadoop, HPCC is open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license and is free to use. Both likewise leverage commodity hardware and local storage interconnected through IP networks, allowing for parallel data processing and/or querying across the architectures. This is where most of the similarities end, says Flavio Villanustre, vice president of information security and the lead for the HPCC Systems initiative within LexisNexis.
HPCC Older, Wiser Than Hadoop?
HPCC has been in production use for more than 12 years, though the HPCC open source version has been available for only a little more than a year. Hadoop, on the other hand, was originally part of the Nutch project that Google put together to parse and analyze log files and wasn't even its own Apache project until 2006. Since that time, though, it has become the de facto standard for big data projects, far outpacing HPCC's 60 or so enterprise users. Hadoop is also supported by an open source community in the millions and an entire ecosystem of start-ups springing up to take advantage of this leadership position.

A place where kids who like to look like trash shop at. Everything in there looks like stuff that I throw in my garbage can. Everything looks plastic, flimsy, cheap, dirty, and stupid.
"Omg, I hate brand names. Brand names are so materialistic. I refuse to buy Dkny, Tommy Hilfiger, and A&F. My favorite store is Hot Topic!!!!!"
by giveitup November 21, 2004
A shop i am embarassed to now shop at bc of all the gay ass new "punk" trends. Hot topic itself is not completely poser-ish, just their gay ass band merch and the posers who shop their. On occasion you'll find a good shirt or something there.
Let's go to hot topic and point at the non-conformist posers who are conforming.

Hot Topic is a place where 12 year old girls shop to buy Fall Out Boy shirts and think there so HXC Hot Topic is also a place where heavy girls try to squeeze themselves into Corsets with ugly bondage pants and think they are HXC while listening to Slipknot

Strawberry season arrived a little later than usual, and several patches around the area are now open to have their strawberries picked clean! For many families it's an annual tradition, and Good Day Atlanta's Paul Milliken traveled to Southern Belle Farms to find out what makes picking strawberries so fun for so many!
Southern Belle Farm1767 Turner Church RoadMcDonough(770) 288-2582
The farm encourages visitors to call before coming, but regular hours are Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. - 6 p.m., and on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., as long as there are ripe berries. If someone is not into picking their own berries, they can call the farm in advance and order pre-picks, at 770-288- 2582. Folks can always check the farm's homepage or Facebook.

I went on a job interview today - or what I like to call a "professional blind date." Doesn't interviewing always feel that way? You're trying to get to know the company, they're trying to get to know you - you're both trying to get a feel for whether or not you'd be compatible. I think interviewing is fun because it's always interesting to meet new people.
Equally fun - figuring out what to wear on that interview. I was meeting with a company whose culture is pretty laid back and casual, so I knew this outfit would be a little dressier than what everyone else was wearing. I wanted to convey respect for the company and the fact that they were meeting with me, plus show my personality. Here's how I did it:
I picked up this Rafaella Woman sheath dress at Macy's a few weeks ago. It was buried in the clearance section, and at the extremely reduced price of $19.99 I knew it would be a terrific addition to my work wardrobe. I love the classic fit and style, amped up with a panel of red material down the back. It fits a little loosely in the middle, so I cinched my waist with a corset belt from Torrid. Gunmetal accessories from Lia Sophia were the perfect finishing touches. The shoes are from Jessica London.

SRAM - static random access memory
Short for static random access memory, and pronounced ess-ram. SRAM is a type of memory that is faster and more reliable than the more common DRAM (dynamic RAM). The term static is derived from the fact that it doesn't need to be refreshed like dynamic RAM.
While DRAM supports access times of about 60 nanoseconds, SRAM can give access times as low as 10 nanoseconds. In addition, its cycle time is much shorter than that of DRAM because it does not need to pause between accesses. Unfortunately, it is also much more expensive to produce than DRAM. Due to its high cost, SRAM is often used only as a memory cache.

Snoop Dogg - Wet
Artist: Snoop Dogg
Producer: The Cataracs
Album: Doggumentary Music
Avg Rating: 3.1 ( 65 total votes )
As anyone who's seen Soul Plane knows, Snoop Dogg has an irrepressible sense of humor, so when he declared that his new single Wet was created for recently engaged Prince William's bachelor party, the announcement was more than a little tongue in cheek; or is that tongue in….nevermind. Whatever the reason for its making, Wet is here, and I've got a feeling it will be one of Snoop's most controversial releases in a minute. About as far from a Dr. Dre beat as you can get, Wet meanders on a supremely minimalistic and oddly hypnotic beat from new school club heroes The Cataracts, a backdrop the Doggfather responds to with a quixotic, quasi-auto-tuned, half-sung, very hard to describe flow. The overall result is a record I'm willing to bet will inspire either instant love, or instant dislike. I just don't know if it's possible to be in the middle on this one. With Wet as one of the first offerings, I now have no idea what to expect from Snoop's upcoming album Doggumentary Music (due out in March 2011), and maybe that's exactly the way he likes it.

Surprise! My Kid Wore a Pee Shirt to Preschool
The lack of communication between me and my husband stinks. Literally.
You couldn't make up a better scenario for the breakdown of a family if you tried. Except maybe throwing in a mistress and a gambling addiction.
And since my husband and I barely talk during the work week, every day when I pick up my toddler from school it's always such a "fun" surprise to see what weird things my husband has packed her for lunch, what crazy get-ups she convinced him to let her wear, and how many knots are in her hair because, as he says, "It makes her so unhappy when I brush it."
Yesterday was the last straw -- our final breakdown in communication. As per her request, a.k.a. meltdown, I let her wear the T-shirt she wore to school to bed. One hour later, she peed in her bed. The shirt was wet with pee. I changed her and threw the shirt on the floor. (Don't you judge me!) The next morning, my intrepid daughter convinces my husband to let her wear the shirt again to school. He's so bleary-eyed he doesn't remember she wore the shirt the day before. (Don't you judge him ... um, on second thought, go ahead.)
When I picked her up at school that day, imagine my surprise when I see her wearing her pee-shirt from the night before. Parent Fail Alert!
What do you think the moral of this story is?
A) Two parents working full-time is bulls**t
B) I shouldn't throw urine-soaked clothes on the floor
C) My husband is a pushover
D) All of the above

EEWWW!!! That's GROSS!! Ok, A)put the pee clothes in the laundry basket B) Why don't you bathe your kid at night? Especially after she's been at school!! I wouldn't want my kids and all their school germs in their clean bed, or mine. Is that silly for me to think like that? My mom is a germaphobe and we couldn't even wear our shoes in the house because we might get someone elses grass in there!! So I come by it honestly. Anyhow, both my kids get a bath every night even if they stayed home and stayed in their jammies all day (like yesterday). Ok so why don't you start setting out her clothes and her lunch the night before and let hubby and daughter know, this is what you're wearing. Period!!
ashley, she never said she didn't bathe her. i bathe my son and there has been times where he wanted to put his spongebob shirt back on for bed….no big deal. and come on, how would your husband take it if you said, you are not picking her clothes out anymore!!!!….thought so! she probably should have just put the shirt in the laundry.
OMG, I completely understand. It really is almost impossible (at least for me) to manage a 2-income household. I haven't done quite the same thing (w/pee shirt), but it seems we have very similar situations. Take care of yourself. It's so hard sometimes…
I only bathe my kids every other night. With a decent clean-up job at the end of the day, that's enough to keep them clean—they don't stink like adults do. However, in the summer, when they get sweaty and swim every day, we do bathe them every day.
As for the pee shirt—eek! Lesson learned?
OH YUCK!!! I'm laughing with you I swear!! It's good to know I'm not the only one who's had this communication breakdown. Perhaps you and your husband could establish a 'If its on the floor its dirty and the kid can't wear it' rule, or put a hamper in your kid's room. Or tell your daughter that she can pick out anything she wants to wear but it MUST come from her closet or inside her dresser.
All of the above. Hilarious!
D. All of the Above!
It's hard to keep it all straight when we work so hard to keep alive in life.
We all understand though and appreciate these stories. This lets us all know we are alive!
Hey, the other day my husband took one of our daughters to the grocery store. He let her walk out of the house in her school shirt and the tights she wore under her skirt. No skirt. He only noticed after my daughter was tugging so much on her shirt as she walked through the store. She's 5. But even she knew better!!!
Heck, I am a SAH Homeschooling mom, and I have caught my DH taking clothes out of the wrong (dirty) laundry basket to put on my kids! Sometimes I think DH's aren't as with it when it comes to dressing kids, and I know mine often gives in and let's them pick their own regardless of appropriateness for weather or fashion sense :)
I have an even grosser miscommunication story for you. When I had morning sickness, I once left a puked-in-rinsed-out-but-not-washed bowl on the counter (I was probably trying to make room so I could wash other dishes in the sink) and my husband made pancakes in it thinking it was washed and just drying on the counter. And we didn't discover this until we already ate the pancakes. And of course that made me want to throw up in the bowl again.
Whose fault was it? I'd like to blame him but I should have left the bowl in the sink! So I'd say B. Sorry.
Definitely all of the above! Classic story! My husband and I work the same hours and we still manage to not be the best communicators!
Also, Ashley, get off your high horse. Seriously. Judgy McJudgy pants are always the ones who fall the hardest when they fall.
This is hilarious. You are not a bad mother unless the other kids at school start calling your kid names because she stinks of pee! With that said…. the urine soaked t-shirt should have found it's way into the laundry basket or tub or even washing machine.
D. All of the above. (and are you my secret twin!) Too much to do and not enough time to do it all in, even with a partner! Just stick with it, get though the tough times and it will get better ~ or so I tell myself!
First of all, I think Ashley is a snob and needs snapped back to reality. Just because you bath your children every night in a feeble attempt to protect them germs, does not mean that every mother should.
The answer is D) All of the above!
I think that laying the outfits out the night before is a good idea. And it's really not that hard to keep up with if you do as you're tucking her in for the night. You could take turns packing lunches and have the lunch box ready to grab first thing in the morning. I know it's hard being a working family and you've just described my life a little. Good luck with everything!!
Remember what my mother said - "Men are good for two things and one of them is heavy lifting."
This too shall pass.
All of the above! And you are SO not alone, reassuring to know I'm not either!!!
Man if money weren't so tight I'd offer you a vacation. Heck I need a vacation.
Funny stuff. Don't sweat it. But yeah, I'd put a little laundry basket by the bed for future night episodes.
OMG, this story was hilarious!!! I had the same situation when my kids were younger. I worked days part time and hubby worked the 2nd shift or 3rd shift sometimes, but he would take care of the kids during the day, I did it at night. I can see this happening very easily!! Bwahhahahaha. So sh*t happens. And I say "all of the above" for the multiple answer question.
I am HOWLING (OK, very very quietly - my 16 mo. old is asleep down the hall) with laughter right now!! While my husband has never put either of our girls(older one is 5 now) into pee-soaked clothing, he has managed to completely ignore ENORMOUS food stains on previously worn outfits. It's certainly an incentive to get my act together in the morning so that I'm the one getting the girls dressed, rather than having to adjust outfits when the 5 year old comes downstairs looking like a patchwork dolly (what do you mean the striped orange shirt doesn't go with the flower-print purple skirt and the blue polka-dot tights?!). I went on a 2 day business trip last year and she didn't get her hair brushed for 3 mornings in a row. OUCH!! All joking aside, I'd rather deal with the occasional odd outfit and tangled tresses that come out of my husband's honest attempt to help out and make ALL our days run smoother than have him just assume it's always my job. And who would I be to point fingers? After all I was the one frantically searching the clothes hamper this morning for a pair of not-too-stinky socks 'cause I totally spaced on putting the laundry in the dryer last night…
I feel you pain!!! LOL! I had to start picking out my kids' cloths at night or they would end up in floral shirt with striped pants, or red shirt and neon orange shorts, or shorts during the winter, or long pants when it's a hundred degrees outside, it makes my life easier.
Life is too short to beat yourself up! I don't think any of us who have had at least one child haven't done something that someone else would consider disgusting. No one died from this experience - and it just reminds all of us that we are human. (And my husband is no longer allowed to help pick out clothes for anyone but himself!)

CNET Top 5
Looking for an e-book reader? You have more choices than ever before--though the number of models we
While it doesn't necessarily beat the Kindle Paperwhite, the $119 Nook GlowLight is an excellent e-reader that's strongly worth considering if you don't want to buy into the Amazon ecosystem.
With its more portable design, the Kobo Aura is a worthwhile -- albeit pricier -- Kindle Paperwhite alternative for EPUB fans who don't want to be tied to Amazon's proprietary ecosystem.
Bigger, sleeker, and more advanced than the first time around, this encore YotaPhone has updates to both its Android and e-ink faces.
Pricing not available
Kobo's new e-book reader is designed for reading in the bath, by the pool or waiting grimly in the rain for your bus.
The 2013 Kindle Fire HD works perfectly as an e-reader with a few extra tablet features, but users looking to take full advantage of Amazon's ecosystem should pay more for the Fire HDX.
Scribd and Oyster's all-you-can-read e-book subscription services add 'Big 5' publisher's backlist titles.
The $69 Amazon Kindle is an excellent no-frills e-book reader for anyone who's willing to forgo a built-in light or a touch screen.
While the "all-new" Paperwhite may seem like an unspectacular upgrade on the surface, it's a clear improvement over the original Paperwhite and arguably the best e-reader currently available.
On 3 December, Sony Japan will be launching the DPT-S1: a 13.3-inch E Ink reader for PDFs, aimed at the student market.
The affordable Kobo Mini is a likable touch-screen e-ink e-reader that's too small for some and not quite small enough for others.

Back at The Dunk Sunday versus Bridgeport
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins fell to the Worcester Sharks 5-2 this evening at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. Max Sauvé and Craig Cunningham scored for Providence.
Looking for their first win in four games, the Worcester Sharks took control early in the first period when Mike Moore got the Sharks on the board just 2:51 after the opening faceoff. Nearly five minutes later, Moore struck again, his shot from the high circle finding its way past a screened Adam Courchaine. After the second goal, Courchaine was relieved by Karel St. Laurent, who is on recall from the Reading Royals (ECHL). The P-Bruins started to pick up the momentum and got several near-scoring chances on Tyson Sexsmith. However, the P-Bruins couldn't control the puck off some bad bounces and failed to find the back of the net. Instead, it was Worcester who struck next and took a 3-0 lead to go into the first intermission.
Tempers flared between the Route 146 rivals in the second period as 24 penalty minutes were added to the gamesheet. In between exchanging pleasantries and pushes and shoves, the teams exchanged scoring opportunities. Zach Hamill, Calle Ridderwall and Josh Hennessy nearly connected to put the P-Bruins on the board halfway through the frame, but bad bounces kept the P-Bruins off the board. Their efforts paid off with just 12 seconds to play in the frame on the man advantage when Sauvé collected the rebound of Cunningham's shot for his seventh goal of the year. Jamie Tardif also assisted on the play that brought the P-Bruins within two goals heading into the final frame.
The Sharks extended their lead to 4-1 at 11:24 of the final frame when Brodie Reid tallied his eighth goal of the season. Despite the three-goal deficit, the P-Bruins didn't let up and continued to throw shots at Sexsmith. Their efforts paid off at 13:15 when Cunningham tallied his 14th goal of the season. Colby Cohen and Sauvé assisted on the play that brought the P-Bruins within two goals. Despite their efforts, Providence couldn't find the back of the net again and Worcester sealed the win with an empty net goal at 18:41.
St. Laurent suffered the loss, blocking 15 Worcester attempts in 51:34 of play after relieving Courchaine. Sexsmith's 21 saves earned him the win.
The team closes out the weekend at The Dunk on Sunday versus the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. The puck drops at 4:05 p.m. for Amica Lip Balm Night, which are free to 1,000 fans. To purchase our special ticket offers or for more information, call the Providence Bruins ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or log on to the team website at www.providencebruins.com.

making your geese fly!
Having discovered how much fun it is to write and photograph a tutorial, here's another one – The Making your Geese Fly Tutorial!
Now obviously, this isn't even remotely an original technique (check here for basic instructions). But I only learnt of its existence a short time ago myself – thankyou Mistress Amy.
Nevertheless, adopting it has been one of those pivotal moments in my patchwork life when I think WOW!!!! I want to make Flying Geese for every quilt I make! How could I not share such a blessing :-) So without further adieu …
As with lots of patchwork techniques, there are mathematical rules that we learn to apply without really understanding why (at least, I don't understand!) But, like many things in life, understanding why is not essential as long as you remember to stick to the rule. Thus, I am not about to explain why, just how!
Choose the fabric for your geese – a 2 contrasting fabrics are good. Select which fabric will be your centre triangle, and which fabric will be your side wings.
For the centre triangle, establish how wide your finished geese will be – in this instance, 4 inches – so, add 1 1/4 inches to this = 5 1/4 – and then cut a square that is 5 1/4 inches along each side (of course it is – it's a square!)
This rule applies no matter how big your geese – if you want 8 inch wide finished geese – add 1 1/4 inches so you will cut a square of 9 1/4 – get it!
Now, so you have a wee bit better of an understanding why we are doing this, take a look at the back …
… if I draw a line from point to point in both directions, I wind up with a square that is quartered into four triangles – these will be your centre triangles! Aaaaaahhhh! So one 5 1/4 inch square will yield 4 flying geese units!
Now, if my finished unit will be 4 inches wide and 2 inches tall, I will need to cut squares of 2 7/8 inches from my side wing fabric. You are cutting it at 2 7/8 because ultimately, this square will be cut in half, so, just like a half square triangle, you need to allow 7/8 inch seam allowance. And you will need four 2 7/8 inch squares, for one 5 1/4 inch square …
Lovely! Now, turn these squares over, and draw a line from one point to the opposing point, just like you would for a half square triangle …
… and now you are ready to sew!
Take the 5 1/4 inch square – face up – and pin two of your side wing squares face down in diagonally opposing corners …
… so that it looks like this – the inner corners will overlap and your drawn line will meet – jolly good!
Now sew 1/4 inch away from the drawn line down one side … down, down, down, keep going across the middle, down, down, down, through both side wing squares …
… and then turn around, and sew back the other way. Just like you would with a half square triangle – but of course, you're doing two at once.
Let's take a peek at the back of our 5 1/4 inch square and see what's happening to those diagonal lines we drew (remember, you don't have to draw these, I just did this to show you why we cut such a square).
Huh! You can see that all four of our centre triangles have a seam line running 1 /4 inch from the cutting line. Cool!
So, grab your scissors, turn your square back up the right way, and cut along the drawn line …
Mmmmm …. looks a bit funny doesn't it! This totally threw me the first time I did it – egads! I thought – there's a line of stitching that cuts right along the edge of the V.
Iron back the two triangles on each unit …
… and now they look like pointy hearts with a very dodgy bit of seam allowance in the V. No problem baby!
Take your remaining two side wing square and pin one, face down and with your drawn line running from the V formed by the first two squares, into the bottom corner of each of your face up "hearts".
… and sew 1/4 inch away from said drawn line, down one side, turn it around, and then down the other side.
Guess what you are going to do now! Yes! That's it – brownie points for you! You're going to cut along the drawn line of each of your two "heart" units and press the side wing triangle – that's right, it's no longer a square – open. This will give you four units!
Ha-ha! Isn't that so cool! Now you have four beautifully accurate, perfect quarter inch seam allowance at the top point, flying geese. And to borrow a phrase from all those quilt patterns that make me pull at my hair with despair – now you can make as many as your want and "assemble (they say quilt!) as desired" …
No hair pulling here though – it's a breeze! Just make sure you have enough patterns in mind that require flying geese, because you're not going to want to stop!
Let me know if you have any questions – but now I'm off to the kitchen. There's a lovely warm, toasty aroma of baked chipolatas and pumpkin calling to me – not to mention the fiercely bubbling water that if it waits any longer for its peas, will have boiled away.
Good night and good sewing!

This post links to a video by Paul Hamilton, Technology in Education. In this 4 minute video Hamilton asks 8 questions that we may want to share with our community, be it our staff, our parents, or the broader community, to begin a dialogue that is lacking in many school districts. Three of the questions he raises are below. Take the time to click through to the post to read the other 5, and if possible find the time to watch this video.
* What do we ant technology to do in schools?
* Are we asking the right questions about technology, learning, and schools?
* Is the way we are using technology now turning our students 'off' to the people and the world around them?

Non si parla direttamente di video interattivi e tanto meno di formazione degli adulti, ma mi sembra un'esposizione esemplare della necessità di fare uno sforzo anche di comprensione verso chi si trova ad imparare primariamente tramite tecnologie recenti. Il linguaggio della rete è questo.
