America's first banned book
William Pynchon, a merchant and the founder of the present day city of Springfield, Massachusetts, wrote The Meritorious Price of Our Redemption, Justification, Etc. in 1650, when he argued against some of the leading Puritan doctrine of his day. The General Court of Massachusetts ordered the book suppressed and for all copies to be burned publicly. Pynchon retracted some of his written statements, but eventually he was forced to return to England.
Banned Books Week
Banned Books Week | September 21−September 27, 2014
Banned Books Week (BBW) is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment. Held during the last week of September, Banned Books Week highlights the benefits of free and open access to information while drawing attention to the harms of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted bannings of books across the United States.
Intellectual freedom—the freedom to access information and express ideas, even if the information and ideas might be considered unorthodox or unpopular—provides the foundation for Banned Books Week. BBW stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints for all who wish to read and access them.

The Indianapolis Indians split their double header on Wednesday against the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs.
Kris Johnson had a solid start with 5.2 Scoreless innings and lowered his ERA to 2.08. Johnson gets the win as the Indians beat the Iron Pigs in game one 4-1.
In game two the Indians struggled early and couldn't find a way to comeback.
A two-out RBI triple by Lehigh's Josh Fields and a solo homer from Steven Lerund gave the Iron Pigs a 3-0 lead going in to the bottom of the 4th.
The Indians managed to put a few runs on the board but with a 3 run 5th inning from the Pigs, Indianapolis couldn't climb their way out of the hole.
The Iron Pigs take game two 6-3.
The Indians play the Iron Pigs in game three of a four game series tonight at Victory Field. First pitch at 7:05 pm ET.

Should we view wealth hoarding as dysfunctional as any other form of hoarding?
We tend to view those who acquire and accumulate "stuff" endlessly as hoarders who are dysfunctional and requiring health care assistance. Therefore, those whose lives are an endless accumulation of wealth and who use that wealth for little more than acquiring ever more "stuff" and/or endlessly stimulating as many pleasure centers as they can as often as then can seem to fall into that dysfunctional category.
Closing Statement from william clegg
We had quite a lively debate ensued on this topic. The majority of comments suggest that hoarding wealth is, in fact, dysfunctional and many offered insightful ways in which they saw that dysfunction being played out in the real world. They also point out that the harm caused by a wealth hoarder is generally imposed upon their community while for other forms of hoarding it is the hoarder themselves who bears the brunt of that behaviour.
There were a few who were opposed to the hoarding label and who appeared to have no problem with the endless accumulation of wealth, largely because they seem to believe that the wealth was still being invested but offered no validation of this premise. As well that seems to be a rather specious argument if all the investing does is acquire more wealth.
It was pointed out a number of times that hoarding can have very real health issues involved, both psychological and physical. However, whether those health issues are as problematic for the wealth hoarder who has estates with lots of gates, security and staff to hide behind as they are in the poor and middle class who are far more visible is uncertain. Although the number of wealthy celebrities who have overdosed on drugs and/or alcohol abuse may be one indicator.
But the most humorous comments appeared to take real umbrage with the mere suggestion that wealth was being hoarded and even employed old 20th century commie fear mongering to make their - rather dull - point. .
It seems that for the majority of contributors hoarding is hoarding and as such is as dysfunctional as other forms of hoarding but that we all experience the consequences of that dysfunction. .

Oct 24 2013: Wealth hoarding may be a "dysfunction" but it frequently is also a crime and America could be better served by severely punishing the "white collar crimes" and "legal" manipulations of law and court that make it possible.
Ask Bernie Madoff's many victims, some wealth hoarders themselves, who patted themselves on the back for finding a great way to profit without earning anything and you'll find they are far less pitiable and worthy of having our justice system fight for the return of their lost money than the many thousands of employees whose earned pensions have been "legally" ripped away from them in leveraged buy-outs used to enrich through stripping away of other people's money.
Ask the thousands whose health insurance has been abruptly canceled so that corporate raiders could throw million dollar parties with money that should have paid their insurance premiums.
Our current bankruptcy system so favors business over people that no jobs, pensions or other earned benefits are safe.
We have a time honored diagnosis for self-aggrandizing personalities: Narcissism. Let's not give any further excuse to money hoarders than that.

Students from UCI, Rancho Middle School and Tiger Woods center create apps
|For weeks, UC Irvine computer science students have helped eager after-school teams at Irvine's Rancho Middle School and the Tiger Woods Learning Center in Anaheim design smartphone applications to teach even younger children science, technology and math. Now an expert panel will test the creations and award prizes, including for best overall product. This promises to be a high-energy event, with 12- and 13-year-olds proudly showing their apps to younger children and the judges.
|Thursday, Nov. 8
|5:30-7:30 p.m.
|Tiger Woods Learning Center, 1 Tiger Woods Way, Anaheim (off Gilbert Street)
|Supplemental Information:
|This event is not open to the public. Media planning to attend should contact Cathy Lawhon in advance or, on the day of event, Janet Wilson at 213-880-8948 (cell) or email@example.com or Rachel Rees at 949-466-8938 (cell). Free parking is available on-site or at Savanna High School, across Gilbert Street.
Students at UCI's Donald Bren School of Information & Computer Sciences began all-night "AppJams" in 2011; they're believed to be the nation's first such tournaments. The aim is simple: Each team designs a fully functional mobile application in one week. Impressed, the Samueli Foundation and the Kay Family Foundation asked the students to mentor area middle schoolers and help them design educational apps. Along the way, the college students learn teaching skills, and the seventh- and eighth-graders learn geometry, computer code, animation and a host of other skills.
"This is the first time I've ever seen something like this. These are 12-year-olds getting the chance to design apps. The kids love it!" said Rancho Middle School principal Scott Bowman. "The nice part is this comes out of UCI. We have a world-renowned university in our backyard. To have student teachers who really know how to do this has a huge impact. The kids see them and think, 'I can go there, too.'"
"We are always working to provide young people with new and authentic learning opportunities," said Katherine Bihr, vice president and executive director of the Tiger Woods Learning Center. "The AppJam class lets our students learn valuable skills in programming while having fun and creating tools that countless children can use to improve in school."
The outreach program is funded by the Samueli Foundation and the Kay Family Foundation.

"It masquerades itself as many different things - migraines, headaches, toothaches, sensitive teeth, neck aches, back aches and numbness and tingling in the fingers. Typically the patients we treat have been to many different doctors and no one could come up with proper diagnosis."

Great for under eye setting or for highlighting. Super soft and pretty, the handle is really comfortable
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love Real Techniques brushes but this is the only one I'm not so fussed about. It's lovely and soft like all the others, but not as dense (which is pretty necessary for a setting brush really). I did at first use this with my Ben Nye loose powder under my eyes and on my chin but it didnt pack the colour in enough for me, it just felt like it was dusting it around a bit.
It's too soft to use for much else in my opinion, as I use a lot of cream products including cream blush and highlighter. I might try this with some blusher for contouring but other than that I never pick it out of my brush jar. But I got it for free in the 3 for 2 at Boots so it's not all bad!
I'll be honest, based on the reviews I expected this to be much softer. It's not really scratchy, but also by far not as soft as some people make it sound. I suspect this is in part because of the fact that it also isn't as dense as I thought.
Despite all of that, this is still a very decent brush of a unique size and I can recommend it. It picks up just enough powder product to be used with setting powders or highlighters, and it's nice for blending creams, although it's not quite dense enough to really buff them in. It also provides a beautiful finish.
Overall a good brush you won't easily find a dupe for.

This is a fantastic brush. I think it's the only real technique brush that I truly like.
It was like a dream (like all real technique brushes)
It's so soft which is perfect for around the eye area. I use It for contouring/highlighting/ powder/brush....anything that's a powder really. It's great if your traveling light, because this one brush can do so much. This brush regained my faith in real technique brush.

Dries fast after cleaning. Does not shed. Oh so soft to the skin.
Lovely for highlighting and like reviewer below, I use it for LM brightening powder for under eye sometimes.
Pixiwoo really knows how to make brushes!
But I won't repurchase cause for everyday light makeup, this is not necessary. Could learn to use it in a different way, fall in love and come back here to edit my review.
Nice little brush! I use it to set my undereye concealer with my LM Brightening Powder. I occasionally set spot concealer with it. It's super soft and does the job I need it to do without smudging anything off or scratching. I'm glad I purchased. I was using some random Bare Escentuals small foundation spot brush prior to buying this. There is no comparison.
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great for shimmer highlight! Great quality, great price! Leagues better than the more expensive brushes I have bought over the years. Love it!

I love this brush so much. It is a must have for highling and apply your undery eye setting powder. I use Ben Nye Banana Luxury Powder and this brush just sets in on nicely and doesn't make it look cakey at all. I also use the expert face brush. I plan on purchasing more brushes from this line.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great little brush. I use it to set concealer under eyes and on blemishes. Also use for cream or powder highlighter, it's the perfect size. As with all RT brushes, it is wonderfully priced. I haven't had any problem with excessive shedding. When I did purchase though, there were a couple bristles that were a little longer than the rest, however I just did a little trim job and it worked out. Purchased on iHerb.com as these are not available in Canada. Will purchase more from this line.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Let me just start off by saying that on most days, my makeup consists of just under eye concealer, some kohl on the waterline, mascara and lip balm. This routine takes less than 2 minutes but the only bit that gets on my nerves is when my under eye concealer or liner migrates. Enter the Real Techniques setting brush. This brush is PERFECTION.
I was using the MAC 224 or the Chikuhodo Z-2 brush before because both were small-ish and could deposit powder without looking chalky. But the 224 wasn't big enough and the Z-2 at times was too big. The Setting Brush is the perfect combination of both because it's small, fluffy, SOFT, and tapers slightly at the tip so it fits perfectly under the eyes. This has made my daily routine so much easier because now I just dab on some Bobbi Brown concealer and finish it with a light dusting of Laura Merceir Secret Brightening Powder. Not only does it prevent creasing, but it makes my makeup last and look fresh through out the day. I love that the size of the Setting Brush is small enough that powder doesn't get on my cheeks.
I can also see this working great for highlighter, contouring and even for foundation for foundations that are light and water-based like MAC Face & Body. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this brush. It's unique in shape, inexpensive and really well-made. HG HG HG.

The Titans first strike against the Oles occurred in the first half, when Nick Shebesta scored midway through the 17th minute mark after a brief scramble in front of the net. Shebesta followed up his first goal with a second unassisted goal roughly 3 minutes later.
Firing back for the Oles, Grant Collins 06 retaliated with a goal at the 24-minute mark a 25-yard freekick that deflected off an Oshkosh player into the corner of the opponents net. Collins goal gave the St. Olaf men momentum to rack up six shots but no goals over the course of the second half.
We came out with quite a bit of intensity in the second half; there was some good combination play, Collins said. We have a really deep team, so we were able to use all our players.
Despite the comeback from the Oles, Oshkosh was able to expand their lead when Shaun Gallagher scored in the 59th minute of the game. The game ended with St. Olaf trailing 3-1.
Roughly 125 people showed up to watch the noon match under blistering 90 degree temperatures. The heat and humidity of the midday game wore down both teams.
Were a fit team, but it was a very hot game, said Brandon McCafferty 08.
In spite of the defeat, the Oles had high hopes for their 3 p.m. conference match against Augsburg on Rolf Mellby Field on Wednesday.
I think weve got a good foundation for the conference games, McCafferty said.
Sophomore goalkeeper Eric Smith agrees. We definitely feel that this season has been equally as good as or better than last year, Smith said. Everything is looking pretty positive.
The match against Augsburg marked the beginning of the Oles conference season, as well as their home opener.
St. Olaf drew first blood in the match when Jacob Meyer scored a first half goal off an assist from Faiz Abdirahman. The score remained 1-0 for most of the match, until Jacob Olson netted a second half goal to seal St. Olafs victory Brandon McCafferty netted the assist. St. Olaf finished the match with 19 shots, reflective of their powerful offensive effort.
The Oles played equally well on defense, holding Augsburg to only seven shots. St. Olaf net keeper Eric Smith saved 3 of those shots, posting his second shutout win in only three starts this season.
St. Olaf will next face off with St. Johns University this Saturday in Collegeville, Minn. at 4 p.m.

I was cruising past Camden after an appointment as I love to do when I'm in Baltimore in the summer. Man it was cool to see the fans lined up. It was an early crowd as First lady Michelle Obama will be 'throwing' out the first pitch. I'm dying to see if she can throw better than our President.
But I was more thrilled to see black and gold. Yes black and gold at Camden Yards. I thought my eyes were deceiving me, but as I cruised in closer, sure enough there it was.
Perhaps the world's smartest Pirates fan? A new trend? Just remember where you saw it first.

IFOAM EU Press Release: MEPs rubber stamp a CAP without ambition
Brussels, 20/11/2013 – Today the European Parliament backed the agreements reached by EU Institution negotiators on the CAP reform 2014-2020 and approved the EU budget under the Multi-annual Financial Framework for the next seven years. By ratifying these packages the European Parliament missed the opportunity to fulfil the demands of EU citizens for a greener and fairer agricultural policy.

You don''t have to be a fan of old-school hip hop and Biz Markie to catch the vapors; you can do it with the Burton Vapor Snowboard. It''s hard to pinpoint the best features of this particular board, as it''s so feature-rich and jam-packed with all the things snowboarders absolutely love. Take the Cambered profile for example, or the Vaporskin fiberglass construction. The Vapor is easy to ride on, very stable, and it can hold up to anything you throw at it. Overall, the Burton Vapor is a great board that will last for years.
Discontinued Colors
Burton ICS channel boards will only work with Burton EST, Burton 3-hole or other ICS compatible bindings.
Burton 3-hole boards will only work with non-EST Burton bindings or other 3-hole compatible bindings.
Let's get one thing straight, this board is for two types of people, those who make their living snowboarding, and those who have the money and want the latest, and greatest. I unfortunately did not get a chance to do a full test on this board, I had it on a powder day, so naturally, I skipped half of my normal test. Honestly, if your looking for a powder board, don't buy this one, it handled fine, but in todays world of reverse and hybrid cambered boards, you can get alot better performance. As far as on piste? I only got one run in, but she was stable, and turned by shear thought, even when brought to the verge of 70mph. handles well in the chop. Edges held well on ice. If you want the latest and greatest and have money, buy this and continue to promote progression in snowboard tech, if your an average joe, you can get boards that perform at nearly the same scale for a lot less dough.

Road Bike Rides
Road Bike Rides
Standard Windber Loop (17 mi.)
This ride starts and finishes at City Cycle in Johnstown. A favorite of many local riders for a quick evening ride. Minimal traffic once you clear the immediate vicinity of city cycle and wal-mart. One moderate hill out of Windber makes this one of the flatter rides around. The roads north of Elton (Helsel, Fifty Acre, Naugle) can be optionally added in for variety or extra distance.
Mount Davis Century (~100 mi.)
As ridden in 2007 with the start/finish at the Church Picnic Grove, which is only for use by reservation. As an alternate, there are several pull-offs nearby on Rt.985 or you can add a few more miles by starting in Greenhouse Park in Benscreek. A beautiful route with minimal traffic - there are a total of two stoplights over the entire route. Yes, there is plenty of climbing, but the last 25 miles may be some of the easiest miles in Somerset county. If riding unsupported, be sure to stock up with fluids in Meyersdale as there are no services at the Mt. Davis summit.
This is an expansion of the traditional YMCA triathlon bike route. Note that Routes 403 and 56 are high traffic, but do have generous shoulders. This route adds a small climb into Armagh and a great decent into Seward to the triathlon loop (which uses Rt. 711). The flattest ride you will typically see as a LHORBA group ride and a great route for those that like to power the flats.
This ride also starts at the Johnstown YMCA and is a similar distance to the ride above, but is anything but flat! This ride includes some of the best local climbs - the three major climb lengths are approx. 2.8, 2.1 and 1.3 miles. Once out of downtown, the roads are very low traffic. This ride has rewarding climbs, great views, and an amazing finish.
A brief ride through the back roads of Salix, Dunlo, Beaverdale, and Sidman, usually with little to no traffic. Plenty of hills to give you a great workout, but nice views along the way, particularly on Frankstown Road near the Forest Hills Middle School.
Additional rides can be found on Strava and Ride with GPS

Japanese sports cars have always been a favorite of mine; they have great lines and styling, are easy on the wallet when it comes to the gas pump, and when tuned properly can move very fast with great maneuverability. Recently we reviewed the 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster with the optional touring package and, in all honesty, the car was a blast to drive. It handled well and had a great power plant with great looks to match, but now I am delighted to be in the presence of a different version of the 370Z. This version, one that is more aggressive and powerful, can only be found in the 2010 370Z Nismo edition. This car reminds me that the era of the Japanese sports cars that I favored did not go away with the Supra , RX7 , and the rest of the big Japanese cars, but is alive and well. The best part is that Nissan is still true to the original Z car introduced to the market almost 40 years ago while providing a plethora of Z cars to match the needs, budgets, and stylings of most drivers.
The interior of the 370Z Nismo edition is sleek and comfortable, much like all versions of the Z. It contains features available in all models such as the tilt steering column with integrated gauges, map lights, 3 bay gauge cluster that displays oil temperature, voltmeter, and digital clock. There were changes done to the interior of this edition, however, that give homage to the name by replacing many of the original 370Z interior components with Nismo counterparts. These changes consist of a Nismo smooth leather wrapped shift knob, leather wrapped parking brake lever, and a Nismo smooth leather wrapped steering wheel that features an illuminated steering wheel mounted cruise control and audio system controls to start.
"...the 2010 370Z Nismo is a complete package; it has the power, maneuverability and styling that is true to the Japanese sports car."
The rest of the interior is made of cloth, but receives the Nismo signature red interior stitching. The seats are embroidered with the Nismo logo and provide the driver with an 8 way adjustable shaped bucket seat with thigh support while the passenger travels comfortably in a 4 way adjustable shaped bucket seat. The seats also include knee support for both driver and passenger just in case you are in the mood for a long drive. Other interior features include a passenger seatback fall down lever for driver, auto dimming rearview mirror, power door locks with auto locking feature, power windows that feature a one touch auto up/down feature, a rear cargo cover, aluminum trimmed pedals, and a 4 speaker AM/FM/CD audio system. To complete the interior trim package a Nismo plaque of authenticity, which includes the serial number and model year designation, is placed in high visibility between the driver and passenger seats.
The Nismo 370Z's power plant is a VQ37VHR 3.7-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 aluminum alloy engine with continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS) and Variable Valve Event and Lift (VVEL) on the intake valves. The engine also has a 95.5 x 86.0 Bore and stroke and an 11:1 compression ratio with a dual intake system that puts out an impressive 350hp at 7,400 rpm with 276 lbs of torque at 5,200 rpm. This allows the Nismo Z to hit a max speed of 155mph according to Nissan. Other perks that have been added to the engine include Iridium-tipped spark plugs, electronic drive-by-wire throttle, Nissan Direct Ignition System, and NISMO-tuned dual exhaust system with H-pipe configuration giving the Nismo 370Z a great sound when it comes down the road. Fuel economy puts the 2010 Nismo 370Z at 18mpg city and 26mpg hwy. Not bad for a high performance sports coupe that weighs 3300lbs.
Since Nissan put a great deal of thought into the 370Z Nismo's engine, one can only expect it to be paired up with the proper drive train. It is composed of a 6 speed close ratio manual transmission with Nissan's new SynchroRev Match system and carbon fiber composite driveshaft that hooks up with a viscous limited-slip differential (VLSD). When paired up with the engine, it delivers on performance and is a great set up for this car showing that Nissan was up to the task and did not disappoint.
Suspension and steering on the 2010 Nismo 370Z were also addressed with a great deal of thought; a complete Nismo tuned suspension package that consists of increased spring dampening and stabilizer rates is included. Also, for the front suspension, a 2 link double wishbone and aluminum alloy sub frame was added. The rear suspension is reinforced with a 4 link aluminum alloy with stabilizer bars in front and rear as well. A Nismo reinforced 3-point front strut tower brace can be found under the hood and is complimented with a rear underbody V-brace and Nismo front and rear performance body dampers. The Nismo 370Z is also outfitted with a vehicle speed sensitive power steering system that allows for this Z to turn on a dime on the street or in a road course. The Nismo 370Z is equipped with Nissan's 4 wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sport brakes package that includes a 4 piston opposed aluminum calipers with 14.0" x 1.30" vented front disc set up, and for the rear, a 2 piston opposed aluminum calipers with 13.8" x 0.80" vented discs. With all of this power under the hood, it is of great comfort to know that when you need this car to stop, it will do so on cue. All of this stopping power is accentuated with a set of 5 spoke Nismo super lightweight forged alloy wheels by RAYS Engineering measuring 19" x 9.5" for the front and 19" x 10.5" on the rear. These wheels are wrapped on Yokohama ADVAN Sport high performance tires measuring 245/40YR19 for the front and 285/35YR19 on the rear.
The 370Z Nismo exterior is made up of a front/rear negative lift that includes unique front fascia with splitter spoiler, aerodynamic side sills, negative lift rear diffuser, and rear spoiler. This was developed in conjunction with Autech Japan who happens to be Nissan's longstanding conversion partner. Other exterior features are all common with the 370Z models, like an aluminum hood, doors and hatch with one touch hatch release, body color dual power heated outside mirrors, dual exhaust outlets with finishers, LED taillights, HID bi-functional xenon headlights with automatic on/off feature, and LED illuminated Z side marker emblems.
To put it mildly, the 2010 370Z Nismo is a complete package; it has the power, maneuverability and styling that is true to the Japanese sports car. It's a car that commands to be in front simply because it's so easy to pass everyone else on the street, highway, or road course. The best part is the price tag which is competitively priced at $40k. Nissan truly makes it easy for sports enthusiasts to "enjoy the ride".

Idol: Lauren and Scotty battle it out!
It's down to the Final Two on Idol Season 10. On last night's episode the season's two youngest contestants, Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina, battled it out to become the American Idol. Obviously, this final round was chock full of country hits. But who will take home the title? Watch the videos of the performances below, then let us know what you think!
[morfeo_video 23 /]
Alli's Opinion: I really WANT Lauren Alaina to win it all! But, I fear that "Cute-Boy-Syndrome" will prevail and Scotty will claim the Idol title. So my official pick is Soctty for the win. Either way, pretty good show last night…and no matter who wins, the country music scene better make room for a couple new superstars!
EB's opinion: I disagree with Alli, so obviously I have to chime in! TEAM SCOTTY ALL THE WAY! I don't think he has a chance because the producers totally rigged it with everything they did last night and the choice of singles for them, but I think he's the one who will be more successful, by a landslide. Plus, there's this.

Have you heard about the Trans-Pacific Trade Pact (TPP)? No? You're not alone. Negotiations are being conducted in secret, behind closed doors. But it's slated to become the most harmful trade agreement ever for access to medicines. It's not too late to act. Ask countries negotiating the TPP to protect people in developing countries. Click here for details.More >
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff and supporters rallied outside the offices of the European Commission on November 8, before delivering an open letter of protest against ongoing trade talks between the European Union and India that could damage access to affordable medicines. The provisions in the free trade agreement under discussion could seriously impede generic medicines producers in India from delivering more affordable and quality generic versions of medicines for people in developing countries. MSF itself could not carry out much of its medical humanitarian work without access to these drugs. Support MSF's campaign 'Europe! Hands Off Our Medicine!'More >

|Bregman Voronoi diagrams
|Jean-Daniel Boissonnat 1Frank Nielsen 2
|The Voronoi diagram of a finite set of objects is a fundamental geometric structure that subdivides the embedding space into regions, each region consisting of the points that are closer to a given object than to the others. We may define various variants of Voronoi diagrams depending on the class of objects, the distance function and the embedding space. In this paper, we investigate a framework for defining and building Voronoi diagrams for a broad class of distance functions called Bregman divergences. Bregman divergences include not only the traditional (squared) Euclidean distance but also various divergence measures based on entropic functions. Accordingly, Bregman Voronoi diagrams allow one to define information-theoretic Voronoi diagrams in sta- tistical parametric spaces based on the relative entropy of distributions. We define several types of Bregman diagrams, establish correspondences between those diagrams (using the Legendre transformation), and show how to compute them efficiently. We also introduce extensions of these diagrams, e.g. k-order and k-bag Bregman Voronoi diagrams, and introduce Bregman triangulations of a set of points and their connection with Bregman Voronoi diagrams. We show that these triangulations capture many of the properties of the celebrated Delaunay triangulation.

Didnt LOVE it I was in my friends wedding last year and she chose this dress in Black, and I was so upset because I didn't like it. I did like the way the top looked but other than that it wasn't a dress i enjoyed wearing. It is very difficult to dance and sit without hiking up the dress considerably. I plan on getting this dress altered to a cocktail style otherwise it will just sit in my closet. As a bride I would NEVER make a bridesmaid wear this! January 25, 2012
Love this dress My bridesmaids ages have a range to them and this dress was flattering for those who were Mother's while still allowing them to feel sexy and beautiful! November 30, 2011
Absolutely Perfect All of the dresses in the photo are from davids bridal, no matter the shape or size of my bridesmaids, it fit fantantastic! Highly recommend this dress. November 19, 2011
HORRIBLE I AGREE WITH EVERY NEGATIVE COMMENT ABOUT THIS DRESS! I HAVE BEEN IN A VARIETY OF WEDDINGS AND THIS DRESS IS BY FAR THE WORST. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING I CAN TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD BUT NO LUCK! BRIDES...PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS TO A BRIDESMAID! October 6, 2011

Chapter 8 LONG-TERM ASSETS Long ? lived assets (also called Fixed assets) Major assets acquired for use in the continuing operations of a business (operating assets) Help produce revenues over many periods Includes: (1) Property, Plant, and Equipment ? includes land, buildings, equipment, furniture-PPE (2) Natural Resources ? includes oil deposits, coal deposits, timber (3) Intangible Assets ? includes copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade names, franchises, goodwill Accounting for Long-term assets includes three issues: 1. acquisition 2. use over its productive life 3. disposal PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT Acquisition Cost principle: acquisition cost includes all normal and reasonable costs necessary to acquire asset and prepare it for intended use Land: includes costs such as real estate commissions, survey fees, attorney and legal fees, costs to prepare land for use (such as tearing down old structures less any salvage recovered) Land is NOT depreciated Land improvements: such as paving, fencing, outdoor lighting, etc, can be depreciated Buildings: if company constructs building, include construction costs and interest paid to finance during construction in cost of asset Equipment: includes taxes, transportation costs, installation costs (including testing) Example: Asset purchase On August 20, Montana Manufacturing Company purchased a new drill press. The new equipment had an invoice price of $15,000. The seller offered a cash discount of $300. Other costs associated with the purchase of the press included sales tax of $375, freight charges of $1,000, and installation and connection costs of $500. Montana also paid $240 in insurance for the first six months of the equipment?s use. Insurance while its being shipped is part of cost, but after the equipment is being used it is not part of the cost of the asset Determine the amount to be reported as the cost of the equipment. 15000-(300)+375+1000+500= cost Example: Group purchase Montana Manufacturing purchased a building, its surrounding land, and some equipment in a lump-sum purchase for $230,000. An appraisal showed the following values for each item: Building $180,000 Land 126,000 Equipment 54,000 Total 360,000 if purchased separately How should Montana record the acquisition of these assets? Now go through and find the percentage of cost each asset makes up of the total cost of the assets? appraisal values, then apply that to the 230,000. Buliding= 50% x 230,000=115,000 Land=35% x 230,000= 80,500 Equipment=15% x 230,000=34,500 Recording Use over productive life matching principle: Depreciation is a process of cost allocation. That is, the purpose of depreciation is to expense the cost of the asset over the years the asset is used to help generate revenues. Depreciation is NOT an attempt to show the asset?s current market value. Effect of recording depreciation on financial statements: Increase the depreciation expense-- net income decreases Increase the accumulated depreciation (contra asset) - total assets decrease Depreciation expense is based cost of asset and two estimates: useful life ? cost must be allocated over the periods benefiting from use of asset salvage value (or residual value) ? the amount expected to be obtained at disposal of asset Methods of calculating depreciation expense 1. straight line method, allocates expense evenly over useful life expense each year = Cost ? salvage value Useful Life 2. units of activity method ? expense related to actual usage rather than time; life of asset expressed in terms of number of units asset will produce expense* = cost ? salvage value X units produced useful life in units in current period * asset cannot be depreciated to an amount less than its expected salvage value 3. accelerated method (i.e. double declining balance method), records more expense in early years of use expense = 2/life x book value** ** since book value changes each year, expense changes each year And again, asset cannot be depreciated to an amount less than expected salvage value 4. MACRS (and ACRS) ? method usually required by IRS for tax purposes (we will not need to calculate depreciation using MACRS) Example Depreciation methods A truck costing $16,000 was purchased on January 2, 2002. At the time of the purchase, the truck?s estimated salvage value was $1,000 and its estimated useful life was 5 years (100,000 miles). 1. Prepare a depreciation schedule for the life of the truck showing the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and carrying value each year, using: a. straight line method. b. units of activity, assuming the truck was driven 10,000 miles in 2002, 20,000 miles in 2003, and 30,000 miles in 2004, 2005, and 2006 c. double declining balance method. 2. How would the depreciation expense change if the asset had been purchased April 1? Straight line deprecation- given as: (16000-1000)/(5)= 3000 yr Yr Depreciation expense Accumulated Depreciation Book Value 2002 3000 3000 13000 03 3000 6000 10,000 04 3000 9000 7,000 05 3000 12,000 4,000 06 3000 15,000 1,000 *book value is the undepreciated cost (cost minus accumulated depreciation) also know as carrying value Units of Activity- thinks about the usage of the asset Calculate a cost per unit: (cost minus salvage value divided by life of asset times the use) (16,000-1000) / (100,000) = 0.15 per mile Yr Depreciation expense Accumulated Depreciation Book Value 2002 1500 1500 14,500 03 3000 4500 11,500 04 4500 9000 7,000 05 4500 13,500 2,500 06 4500 18000 -2,000 *this won?t work because we can?t have a negative book value. Because we believe we will sell the truck for 1000, we can?t ever let book value drop below 1000. 06 1500 1500 1000 Double Declining Balance: 2/life in years X book value Yr Depreciation expense Accumulated Depreciation Book Value 2002 6400 6400 9600 03 3840 10240 5760 04 2304 12544 3456 If the truck was bought in april, then we just take 9/12 times years expense with straight line and double declining. This is not the case with units of activity, because expense depends on use, and not on time. Costs incurred after acquisition: Capital expenditure- something done to an asset to make it bigger, better, more efficient, extends capacity, extend the life of the asset- add to the asset account Revenue expenditures- regular routine maintenance that keeps an asset in original working condition- expense these as you incur the cost Disposal Assets may be sold for cash, exchanged for new assets, or scrapped To record the disposal of an asset: Record any depreciation expense to the date of disposal Zero out the asset and its accumulated depreciation Record any cash received Record any gain or loss (gain or loss is the difference between book value and cash received) Example National Express Delivery Company has a small truck that is no longer needed by the firm. The truck was purchased for $18,000 on January 2, Year 3 and had an estimated salvage value of $2,000 and an estimated useful life of 4 years. The disposal date of the truck is July 1, Year 5. 18000 ? 2000/ 4 = 4000 dollars per year Accumulated Depreciation= 4000 4000 2000 = 10000 BValue= 80000 Record the disposal of the truck under each of the following assumptions: a. The truck is sold for $8,000. Cash= 8000 AD= 10000 Truck was 18000 b. The truck is completed destroyed in an accident, and the company receives $1,500 as an insurance settlement. 1500 received 8000 book value Loss of 6500 Cash 1.5 AD 10 Loss 6.5 Truck 18 c. The truck is sold for $12,900. Cash 12.9 AD 10 truck gain 4.9 NATURAL RESOURCES Includes items such as oil deposits, timber, coal, and minerals. The expense associated with the use (consumption) of the natural resource is depletion. Depletion expense calculated based on a cost per unit of natural resource; expense is the cost per unit multiplied by number of units used (mined, cut, drilled, etc) ? similar to units of activity method Depletion expense = Acquisition cost of resource ? residual value X Units consumed Units of resource during period Example Aggie Sand and Gravel paid $400,000 for the mining rights to a gravel deposit. The deposit is expected to contain 1 million tons of gravel. What is the depletion rate for the gravel? 400,000 / 1,000,000= .40/ton Assuming 90,000 tons of gravel are mined and sold during the year, how much is Aggie?s depletion expense? 90,00 x .40 = 36,00 INTANGIBLE ASSETS Assets with no physical properties such as patents (not including research and development), copyrights, trademarks, organization costs, franchises; provide future economic benefits Intangible assets with definite life: expensed over useful life, expense associated with intangibles is amortization expense (similar to straight line depreciation) Goodwill ? appears on balance sheet only if purchased; not amortized on regular basis, instead is tested annually for impairment; if necessary asset is written down (decreased) buyer had goodwill on his balance sheet, Goodwill doesn?t get expensed automatically (Seller doesn?t have a dollar value for goodwill until someone pays more than market price for the business)

The Boynton Beach, Fla. parents of a severely malnourished three-year-old boy were released from jail on Feb. 23 after being charged with felony child abuse.
KIRO reported on Feb. 24 that the parents, Champagne Gillis, 31, and her boyfriend, Thomas Phillips, 37, spent the weekend in jail after police were called to JFK Medical Center in Atlantis on Friday. Officials at JFK told police they were transporting a severely malnourished child to the emergency room at Palms West Children Hospital.
When police informed the parents that their baby boy would be hospitalized for several days, "the mother said they were busy and planned on working backstage at the "Rocky Horror Picture Show.""
That's when police arrested the neglectful parents.
The boy was described as weighing less than 25 pounds, and he had sores in his mouth which made it difficult for the boy to swallow. Gillis told police she brought the boy to the hospital because he was feeling ill. He had diarrhea and a 102-degree fever for about seven and 10 days before the hospital visit, according to an arrest report.
Gillis told police that her son didn't like solid food; so the parents only fed him apple sauce or milk, ever since his birth.
Gillis also said that her son didn't like toothbrushes; so she didn't brush his teeth.
The mother thought that the sores in her son's mouth were from the toddler biting his tongue. She assumed that the sores would just heal after a while.
The otherwise-engaged mom also confessed to police that "she smokes marijuana daily but keeps it away from her son by smoking it in the bedroom while the boy is with his father in another room."
Gillis and Phillips spent the weekend in jail, but were released after they each posted a $3,000 bond.
The state Department of Children and Families is now investigating the parents.

We're so accustomed to reading about sexual assaults of women in the news that when you hear one about a man being sexually assaulted, your first reaction is almost disbelief. Or you even want to crack a joke about it (if you're not out to win any sensitivity awards, that is). But police say it's not that uncommon that men are sexually assaulted by a woman. And one 19-year-old man in Toronto says he was sexually assaulted by not just one woman -- but four!
Reportedly, the unidentified teen met the women -- who authorities say were in their 30s and all weighed about 200 pounds -- at a nightclub. When they left, the women apparently offered him a ride home and he accepted. But instead of driving him home, the women drove him elsewhere, and then he claims all four sexually assaulted him. A detective on the case said that it's "not completely unusual" for a man to file a sexual assault report against a woman.
One source says that five percent of rapes reported in the U.S. are those of men doing the reporting. In some states a man can't even claim he was raped because his assault wouldn't meet the definition of "forcible rape," which would require penetration.
I can really only think how brave this teen boy was to walk into a police station in Toronto and report the assault by four grown women. He, of course, should have absolutely no reason to be ashamed about that any more than if a teen girl was gang banged by four men -- but you can only imagine that he probably worried that he wouldn't be taken seriously, or would be doubted, or even laughed at and told it wasn't a big deal. Hell, that happens to women, so it probably happens even moreso to men reporting sex crimes against them by women.
But four 200-pound women could have easily overpowered this teen. We don't know what happened, none of us were there. But is it possible for a man to be raped? Absolutely. And I hope everyone he tells this to -- be it friends or family or whomever -- realizes this and takes it seriously.
Do you know any men who have been sexually assaulted?

Don't really think that weight is relevant to this story. In fact, just because some is FAT doesn't mean that they are STRONG. Kiri, I don't see you posting articles about women raped by 200lb or 300lb men...because it isn't relevant; all that is relevant is that a crime occurred, and although this may be unusual to report, it isn't necessary to include that "detail".
Rape can and does happen to men. Obviously it can happen to any person, any age, any gender, any size, any race. The sad thing is that while women have made great strides in getting rape recognized, getting laws changed, and getting medical/counseling services in place for *female* victims, all that lobbying has done a disservice to others who may be victims as well (men, transgenders, and gays/lesbians).
He is an ADULT!!!!!! Teen boy. Give me a break.
Do you need to say gang banged or do you not have a wide vocabulary?
Meghan - Ms Kiri Blakeley tries to create the most salacious headline/story possible by slanting the facts. No, it is not OK because he is a an adult but "teen boy" makes it sound like a minor was assaulted. Had the 19 year old been the assailant rather than the victim Ms Blakeley would have labeled him a "man". This is the same reason Ms Blakeley sensationalizes the womens weight. Never has she noted "200 pound man assaults girl". The womens weight is immaterial to the story and mentioning it simply serves to highlight Ms Blakeley's personal prejudices.
manderspaders is correct that weight does not matter, OTOH, 200 pounds is not always "fat". My cousin is 205 pounds but she is also 6 feet 2 inches tall. My neighbor weighs 140 and is plump since she is only 4 feet 10 inches tall.

Pleasant Valley native Steve Hennings graduated from college in 2008 with a degree in business. Finding the job market not very hospitable, the Graceland University graduate decided to go into business for himself.
He had worked in construction while in high school and college, so it was a natural choice to stay in that field.
"I decided to take the leap and go out on my own," he said.
His business, Mr. Pickett's Fence & Deck, at 3528 Wakonda Drive in Bettendorf, sells outdoor backyard improvements such as fences, decks, gazebos and pergolas.
Pergolas are built at the top of the deck or patio for shade. They may either provide partial shade or, with canvas, total shade.
Mr. Hennings also sells wood, chain-link and vinyl fencing to fill the needs of people who want privacy or security for pets and/or small children.
He said he hasn't had a hard time meeting or beating his competitors' prices.
"A lot of times I can beat the competition, because I don't have all the overhead they have because I'm still a small company," he said.
During the winter he is the business' sole employee, but during the busy summer months, he may have two to four employees.
So far, he has doubled his business every year, he said."So I'm growing."

Overall, there were 1,252,500 visits to hospital emergency departments linked to the use of all illicit drugs.
Methamphetamine, or meth, has a high potential for abuse and addiction and can cause a wide array of potentially harmful intoxicating effects, including altered judgment and reduced inhibitions, leading to unsafe behaviors. The drug can also cause severe dental problems, anxiety, confusion, insomnia, mood disturbances, and violent behavior. Long term methamphetamine users may display psychotic manifestations, including paranoia, hallucinations, and delusions.
"This report shows that methamphetamine use may be on the rise again, and we must do everything we can to address this serious public health problem," said Dr. H. Westley Clark, director of SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. "One important step is to use the hospital emergency department visit as a critical opportunity to talk to, and intervene with, people using this drug so that they can more fully understand its dangers and where they can turn to for help."
People using the drug who are also taking antidepressants may experience dangerously high blood pressure, overheating, seizures, heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure.
Emergency department visits associated with methamphetamine significantly decreased between 2005 to 2007, but then rose between 2009 and 2011. From 2007 to 2011, there were significant increases in methamphetamine-related hospital visits involving those aged 25 to 34 and those aged 55 and older.
The report also found that in 2011, 62 percent of these methamphetamine-related emergency visits involved the use of this drug with at least one other substance. Twenty-nine percent of methamphetamine-related emergency hospital visits involved combined use with one other drug, and 33 percent involved combination use with two or more drugs.
In 2011, the top two substance combinations for methamphetamine-related emergency departments were marijuana (22 percent) and alcohol (16 percent). These were also the top two combinations in 2008.
SAMHSA sponsors Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment programs that are used in an array of medical settings (including emergency departments) to help health care providers identify and respond to potential substance use problems among patients. Providers can address the physical, social, and emotional impact of patients' substance use as well as connect patients with specialized substance abuse treatment if indicated.
The report, Emergency Department Visits Involving Methamphetamine: 2007 to 2011, is drawn from SAMHSA's 2007 to 2011 Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) – a public health surveillance system that monitors drug-related emergency department visits in the United States.
The complete report findings are available on the following SAMHSA Web site: http://www.samhsa.gov/data/2K14/DAWN167/sr167-methamphetamine-2014.htm

Bought a 1928 P Peace dollar in AU condition and was very pleased with the coin I got. Just getting back into coins after a several years away. I have needed this coin to complete my Peace dollar collection. The coin is in very nice condition for AU.
