Direct metal nano-imprinting using an embossed solid electrolyte stamp.
Summary of "Direct metal nano-imprinting using an embossed solid electrolyte stamp."
In this paper, we report direct patterning of metal nanostructures using an embossed solid electrochemical stamp. Microforming of solid superionic stamps using Si templates-analogous to polymer patterning in nano-imprint lithography-is explored. Silver sulfide (Ag(2)S)-a superionic conductor with excellent microforming properties-is investigated as a candidate material. Important parameters of the superionic stamp, including mechanical behavior, material flow during forming and feature recovery after embossing, are studied. Excellent feature transferability during embossing as well as etching is observed. To illustrate the capability of this approach silver nano-antennas with gaps < 10 nm were successfully fabricated. The possibility for large area patterning with stamp diameters > 6 mm is also demonstrated. Embossing-based metal patterning allows fabrication beyond two-dimensional nanofabrication and several patterning schemes are reported.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Imprinting (psychology)
A particular kind of learning characterized by occurrence in very early life, rapidity of acquisition, and relative insusceptibility to forgetting or extinction. Imprinted behavior includes most (or all) behavior commonly called instinctive, but imprinting is used purely descriptively.
A nonlinear electrophoretic technique used to separate a variety of ionic compounds, ranging from small metal ions to large molecules like proteins. Unlike "linear" zone electrophoresis in which separating solute bands continually spread by diffusion or dispersion, isotachophoresis forms self-sharpening, adjacent zones of substantially pure solute whose concentrations often exceed several mgs/ml. In isotachophoresis a multianalyte sample is introduced between the leading electrolyte and the terminating electrolyte where the sample ions have lower electrophoretic mobilities than the leading ion but larger than the terminating ion. (From "Isotachophoresis" on the AES Web Site [Internet]. Madison, WI: The American Electrophoresis Society; c2000-2008 [cited 2009 Aug 20].

Water-electrolyte Imbalance
Disturbances in the body's WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
Magnesium Sulfate
A small colorless crystal used as an anticonvulsant, a cathartic, and an electrolyte replenisher in the treatment of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. It causes direct inhibition of action potentials in myometrial muscle cells. Excitation and contraction are uncoupled, which decreases the frequency and force of contractions. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1992, p1083)
Silver-russell Syndrome
Genetically and clinically heterogeneous disorder characterized by low birth weight, postnatal growth retardation, facial dysmorphism, bilateral body asymmetry, and clinodactyly of the fifth fingers. Alterations in GENETIC IMPRINTING are involved. Hypomethylation of IGF2/H19 locus near an imprinting center region of chromosome 11p15 plays a role in a subset of Silver-Russell syndrome. Hypermethylation of the same chromosomal region, on the other hand, can cause BECKWITH-WIEDEMANN SYNDROME. Maternal UNIPARENTAL DISOMY for chromosome 7 is known to play a role in its etiology.

Yesterday, I attended a press conference hosted by Give Arkansas A Raise Now. What I heard were a bunch of demands that Arkansas raise its minimum wage -- and a bunch of assertions that doing so would have a positive impact on our state's economy. What I didn't hear was any empirical evidence that backs up this claim. The group is led by Steve Copley, a United Methodist pastor. One reporter at the briefing asked him to respond to the argument that raising the minimum wage will force layoffs … [Read more...]

Heritage Has A Plan That Could Actually Fix Healthcare
Supporters of Obamacare love to instruct us all that we can't repeal this disastrous law because people will be left without health insurance, people with cancer won't be able to get treatment, etc. Unfortunately, it appears increasingly likely that Obamacare will actually exacerbate many of the problems it has sought to relieve (such as uncompensated care costs and lack of access to doctors). Supporters of the law also love to explain that those who call for Obamacare's repeal are pursuing a … [Read more...]

Mike Beebe, Crony Capitalist
Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe generated a windstorm with his comments during a speech in Atlanta Monday regarding the renewal of federal tax breaks for the windpower industry. Apparently he is not too pleased with opponents of government favoritism.

Market conditions will dictate the salary that is offered for a job, if the school can sucessfully fill the post advertising the job at that salary then they are going to do so, it's a simple questions of economics. I'm not saying it's right, but that's the way the jobs market works. If I was out of work and desperate for a job, I'd apply for it even thouigh I know it's way under par for the job, but needs must.
Certain people like Teachers, Police offices, Firemen etc. etc. are priveliged to have carefully negotiated salary deals with government, but it also caps what they can earn as well so it works both ways. Personally I wouldn't like to be in that situation, I like to think I'm paid what I'm worth and not what some piece of paper says I must be paid - if I'm any good then the reward will be forthcoming and if it isn't, then I go elsewhere.

By HAYLEY HARMON6 News Anchor/Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A Knoxville high school teacher is helping his students learn an important lesson in giving back.
Anna Hamilton, a senior at Grace Christian Academy, is battling Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Teacher and students wanted a way to raise money to help Anna's family with their medical bills.
That's when Bible teacher Dr. Brad Zockell decided to put the old adage "walk a mile in their shoes" into practice.
Zockell said he would walk 50 miles around the football field at Grace Christian Academy if people would sponsor his walk by making donations for Anna's family.
He started Sunday night around 10:30 and walked for nearly 19 hours before finishing Monday afternoon.
"Five laps is a mile. We get five laps to a mile here," Zockell said during his trek.
Why did he decide to walk?
"I just figured that this was something that I could do to help in my little way, and so it's what I chose to do," said Zockell.
The Bible teacher says Anna was in his class last year.
"Stellar student. Wonderful girl. Wonderful attitude and everybody liked her," he said.
When teachers and classmates found out two months ago she had Hodgkin's lymphoma, the effort to help her began.
"It was more than just an emotional reaction. It was a determination. Let's do something. Putting feet to our prayers," said Zockell.
His students have been inspired to help Anna in other ways.
"Just because of this, so many more ideas have come up, like we could do this, or we could do this. You know, organizing something," said Aaron Pietro, a junior at Grace Christian Academy.
Even though Zockell's body feels the wear and tear of each step, he says it's his heart that tells him the walk is worth it.
"Little bit tired. Tight in the legs right now. When I'm done with this, I'm done. But she wakes up tomorrow and she's still dealing with it. Her family's still dealing with that. And so when I look at that, the pain here is very minimal," he said.
Zockell's original goal was to raise $300.
At last check, donations were totaling nearly $3,000.
Donations for Anna's family are still being collected. They can be dropped off or mailed to Grace Christian Academy and designated for Anna Hamilton at:

|Résumé :
|Thermal limitations have forced CPU manufacturers to shift from simply increasing clock speeds to improve processor performance, to producing chip designs with multi- and many-core architectures. Further the cores themselves can run multiple threads as a zero overhead context switch allowing low level resource sharing (Intel Hyperthreading). To maximize bandwidth and minimize memory latency, memory access has become non uniform (NUMA). As manufacturers add more cores to each chip, a careful understanding of the underlying architecture is required in order to fully utilize the available resources. We present AthenaMP and the Atlas event loop manager, the driver of the simulation and reconstruction engines, which have been rewritten to make use of multiple cores, by means of event based parallelism, and final stage I/O synchronization. However, initial studies on 8 andl6 core Intel architectures have shown marked non-linearities as parallel process counts increase, with as much as 30% reductions in event throughput in some scenarios. Since the Intel Nehalem architecture (both Gainestown and Westmere) will be the most common choice for the next round of hardware procurements, an understanding of these scaling issues is essential. Using hardware based event counters and Intel's Performance Tuning Utility, we have studied the performance bottlenecks at the hardware level, and discovered optimization schemes to maximize processor throughput. We have also produced optimization mechanisms, common to all large experiments, that address the extreme nature of today's HEP code, which due to it's size, places huge burdens on the memory infrastructure of today's processors.

(1898-1976). Multitalented U.S. actor, singer, and social activist Paul Robeson enjoyed success that was unparalleled among African Americans in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s. However, even as he toured extensively, befriended luminaries, and promoted his message of unity among cultures, he managed to maintain close bonds with the African American community and the working class. At the height of his artistic career Robeson turned his attention to human rights, becoming an eloquent and often controversial speaker against racial discrimination in the United States, colonialism in Africa, and economic injustice throughout the world. His refusal to compromise his progressive political convictions in the face of mounting pressure during the 1950s, however, damaged and eventually shortened his career.

1000 Amps review
If you're a member of the camp of gamers who believe that the answers to puzzles should never be signposted, and that modern games are way too easy, then you're going to like 1000 Amps.
You play as a cute lil' icon called Plug (no relation to the Bash Street Kid) who is attempting to repair a set of electrical stations called the Amp- Tree-System. In each room, you can light up a number of squares by touching them, and when you've lit them all, that part of the system is repaired. As you light these squares, you're given more power – enabling you to jump and teleport. Most of the puzzles rely on using that gradual increase in power to enable you to access more and more lightsquares in each room.
The art style is minimalist. So minimalist, in fact, that you can't see any of the room you're in until you touch the squares in question. As such, exploration becomes an exercise in feeling around in the dark, unsure if you're about to plunge down a hole into another room entirely, losing all your progress in the current room. That's around the point when 1000 Amps starts getting a little frustrating.
It continues to frustrate when you come up against seeminglyimpossible rooms that have conveyor belts that cart you around against your will, rogue baddies who switch off lights that you've switched on, and jumping puzzles that demand pixel-perfect precision.
It's a defiantly retro path to take, and one that isn't going to please everyone – especially when failure often means trekking back through several past rooms just to have another go. The map gives you some idea of where you're supposed to be going, but it's utterly uninteractive and therefore mostly useless.
The worst moments are when you know exactly what you need to do to solve a room, but can't quite get the timing of the jumps or teleports right, and you find yourself repeating the same move over and over again, hoping that you fluke your way into doing it right. When you do finally manage that, you won't think "Amazing! I am so talented!" – you'll think "Thank God that's over." Then you realise that you have to start essentially from scratch in the next room.
The core idea of powering up your character progressively is a solid one, and there are moments of real beauty in the stark-but-cute art style, but ultimately 1000 Amps fails by simply not giving the player enough information, forcing a trial-and-error, guesswork-oriented approach to problem solving. That's fine when a game gives you another go instantly, but that's often not an option here.
There is an audience who'll love 1000 Amps, and the £4 price is excellent value for a puzzle game of this length. But if you prefer your games to be a little more friendly and approachable, then you're going to want to look elsewhere.
An often frustrating game built around a clever idea. It could have become something so much greater.

When I was 6 years old - in first grade - I was eating lunch in the cafeteria with my friends and my father (he worked near my school and met me for lunch a few times a week). I was wearing a spaghetti strap red plaid tank top (I still remember it all vividly). The shirt was sleeveless but it wasn't a midriff or anything. It was just a fucking sleeveless shirt, in fact, I'm sure my mother picked it out for me because I was SIX YEARS OLD. My friends noticed that one of the lunch monitors/school assistants kept walking by glaring at me. I was shy and anxious so I ignored it. My dad eventually left to go back to work. And as soon as he left, the woman came over, leaned down and whispered in my ear, "You need to put your sweater on because you're dressed like a slut."
I remember getting so nervous and upset because this lady was like 50 years old and I didn't know what "slut" meant but I knew it had negative connotations.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is probably at least partially why I need feminism.

The Indianapolis Colts surprised their fans with yet another unpredictable signing. Colts managed to coax veteran quarterback, Kerry Collins out of retirement to play for the Colts after intense negotiations on a Wednesday afternoon.
Colts slated jaw dropping news when they announced that former Titans starter Kerry Collins had agreed to play for their team.
Collins will prove to be a wise and very useful signing for the Colts. Experts agree that the timely signing has provided the Colts with much needed experience and squad depth. Their current roster represented 3rd year backup Curtis Painter, aged backup Dan Orlovsky, the undrafted rookie Mike Hartline and of course last but not least, the legendary Peyton Manning.
The problem with this list of quarterbacks is instability. Injuries and dismissive form have destroyed the confidence of many players in the squad. Painter however claims he can find serenity amidst all chaos. Maybe that is why he is featuring more time on field these days.
Painter seems to be the new apple of the eye of Head Coach Jim Caldwell, who has placed Painter on the starting list of both preseason games. In both games he completed 8-of-16 passes for 95 yards with no touchdowns and 1 interception.
Last Friday happened to be a bad night for Painter and Co. who lost to Washington Redskins humiliatingly with the score board showing 16-3. Painter recorded only one first down and couldn't get the offense past its 29. Painter was replaced after half of the game.
It will be interesting to note here that Painter has not been part of a game in regular season since 2009. Orlovsky has a similar story, having played in just 13 games during the 6 NFL seasons.
Collins has an impressive career to boast about with a 55.8 completion percentage and has thrown for 40,441 yards, 206 touchdowns and 195 interceptions. As a member of the first line up Collins, has led his team to the playoffs 4 times which includes a memorable Super Bowl appearance with the Giants during the 2000 season.
Manning has refrained from commenting on the whole Collins saga. Last time Manning's streak was in jeopardy was in 2008 when he missed all training camps and preseason games after undergoing surgery twice to remove an infected bursa sac from his left knee. Manning had a bad start to the season however he soon picked up form and ended with his 3rd MVP award.
With Collins addition to the squad the question of first team appearance is born again. Only time can tell what plan of action the coach has for his team.

Two things up front about the Georgia Lottery.
One is that it exists as a tax on those believed to pay no taxes. It's a consumption tax levied on the unsophisticated. It's the rent they pay for government.
The second observation about the Georgia Lottery is that its beneficiaries are the middle class, the families that once socked away a few dollars each week to pay for the college expenses of newborn babies.
It was one generation's investment in the next.
I've never been a fan for two reasons.
One is that it tempts the poor to engage in behaviors that are harmful to their families.
The second is that it tempts the middle class to engage in behaviors that are harmful to their families.
With the poor, the temptation is to take money they can't afford to lose and put it in an investment with odds against them of 175 million to one.
A woman without a job for six months and, as the AJC's Bill Torpy reported last month, with "a car note and mortgage nipping at her heels," stops at an Atlanta convenience store to buy $10 Extreme Green scratch-offs, spending about $100 a week.
People are entitled to spend their money any way they see fit, and desperate people see enough oversized checks with big numbers in lottery-winner photo ops to convince them that dire circumstances warrant such Hail Mary "investments."
And yet, while we can gin up our rawest and most virulent indignation at "predatory lenders" who put the working poor in mortgages that they can't afford, we think nothing ill of a state-owned enterprise that does something worse.
And why? Because we are beneficiaries of the loot taken from the poor. The big bonuses are not going to securities traders, but to the middle class in the form of HOPE stipends.
The lottery has changed, for the worse, the habits of the middle class, too. Before it was created in 1993, the middle class knew that individual family sacrifice was necessary to fund the burden that college represented. Immediate pleasures — a meal out, a newer car — were put off to set aside money for a distant expense.
In taking money from Mom and Dad, there were faces and known sacrifices connected to the tuition money.
Then came the Georgia Lottery.
The Athens Banner-Herald's Lee Shearer quizzed students at the University of Georgia for a weekend story noting that by 2011, gambling revenues may be inadequate to fund all HOPE expenses.
They could, egads, be forced to turn to their own resources — a part-time job or family savings — to pay part or all of the $300 book allowance and, if things get worse, they could lose the money that goes to cover mandatory fees.
Since 1999-2000, the cost of the program has grown from $207 million to $500 million.
When asked how much HOPE paid for their education, students had no clue. The amount is not shown on their tab.
It is an entitlement, like welfare or Medicaid, without connection between those who sacrifice and those who benefit.
The Georgia Lottery Corp. board meets Thursday. It is under pressure to permit casino gambling in Underground Atlanta so that the middle class will not be forced to make choices between a vacation and their offspring's college expenses.
The poor and the addicted are getting tapped out on the old scratch-offs and Mega Millions. Underground operators are counting on the middle class to ride to their rescue.
The board doesn't have Underground on their agenda. But they should now, this week, call the question: Will Georgia open its doors to casino gambling?

I'm sick of all this "we must protect them from themselves" attitude. If someone CHOOSES to buy lottery tickets rather than pay their car note, that's their choice. They are adults free to succeed or fail. And "predatory lenders"? There is no such thing. EVERY salesperson is trying to get as much of your money into their pocket as they can. Besides, if you can't be bothered to pre-read and understand your mortgate contract then you deserve what you get. Predatory my big fat @ss.

A State monopoly in any business is bad. State-monopolized gambling is no different. The HOPE "scholarship" system has also created middle-class entitlement to inflated grades. Exploiting stupid people excites right-wing jerks so much they fail to see how it's biting them in the a%$.

Well, if you got to have colledge, and I say you don't, you might as well get Those People to pay for it. The decent, hardworking taxpayers get a little break on the taxes they might have to pay without the lottery and the lazy bums that sponge off of our taxes fork over the bucks to send a good redneck boy to colledge. It's the best thing old Zell ever done.
Now don't get me wrong. I don't beleive much in colledge. Too many colledges take a good Right-thinking redneck boy and turn him into a raging librul. But once in a while it don't take. So you get colledge-educated rednecks like old Sonny that knows the answer to problems is prayer and can't be talked into the librul way of thinking by a bunch of colledge perfessers.
So I agree with Wooten people need to save for what they want to buy. But that don't mean we can't put more of the cost of what we need on the people that don't put out nothing in the first place. If they got the money to play the lottery they got the money to pay for peoples colledge.
That's my opinion and it's very true. Have a good day everybody.

Nanny state indeed. Why is Mr. Wooten's nose always in other people's business? Where are the "conservative" values of individualism and non-interference? Is Mr. Wooten trying to send a child to college right now, and can't because the child's grades don't merit Hope money? Did Mr. Wooten suddenly become concerned about the state of education in Georgia, and now wants to help bring the education level of our populace UP? Or is it his fervent hope that the average level of Georgia citizens' education DROP EVEN FURTHER, for some reason he is about to share with us?
April 28th, 2009

Good point RetLTC. You would think the same crowd that fights tooth and nail over six packs on Sunday would be howling long and loud over Casino style gambling.
April 28th, 2009
10:28 am
once again, I am confused. while I agree the State has no business in the gambling business (and probably LESS business in the education business); I fail to see how any state-sponsored gaming enterprise is any different than the de-regulation of the derivities market, which as we all now know, turned Wall Street into a de facto casino for a handful of gamblers (who were playing with house money). in fact, I would argue that with the GA lottery, at least you know the odds (150 million to 1) and YOU choose to play or not to play. those of us who judiciously invested in our homes or the stock market have been asked to pay the tabs of a handful of reckless, self-serving gamblers who placed bets with OUR money.

Good morning, Jim
You're becoming quite the moralist lately, fulminating against unwed mothers, gambling, and people acting like people. The conservatives have all but destroyed the middle class, yet you presume that there is still a "middle class morality," like the one you think might have existed in the 40s and 50s. More and more, you want to get government involved in setting moral standards, but you don't want government to do the job that it is supposed to be doing. It's an interesting contradiction in your thinking, but I suspect that your desire to tell everyone else how to live their lives is as much a function of your political entanglements as your personal moral standards. The HOPE scholarship program is not equivalent to "welfare and medicaid," which are funded by taxes. If we do away with the HOPE program, how would we educate the people we need for our future at a time when college costs are rising precipitiously and the Governor's Scholarship program has been killed? The answer is easy, although conservatives get so tangled in their ideology that they can never see the obvious: raise taxes, especially on businesses and the rich and pay for scholarships out of tax monies, just as we do welfare and Medicaid. Maybe we would then have a "middle class" again, even though I don't think you really want one. I think you and the rest of the conservatives are very happy with a two class society: the very rich and the uneducated very poor.

Dear Jim Wooten,
I understand quite well what you are saying. You yearn for the days when citizens thought they were to pay their own way in all things. "Relief" was a disgrace. Independence was treasured.
Now relief is supposed to come from government or from lucky winning of wealth. Personal saving is seen as a credit card debt you can pay eventually.
Perhaps Zell Miller saw the changes and decided that the only hope was to educate children and pay for it any way possible. The Lottery was the best possibility. He did not see the possibilites of changes in rules of receiving.
Teachers began to raise grades to get students enrolled. Parents with funds realized that they did not have to pay if their child was enrolled in Hope. Students entered college who would never have been accepted with their usual grade average. Many did not stay to finish their education even with all the help that could be extended to them. Some students claimed that "teaching" was not good .(See article by recent UGA grad in Sunday's paper.)
Now casino gambling is suggested for ADDITIONAL FUNDS . For education!! Oh yes. And for the people who run the casinos and the funds. As has been said here, let the people "throw their money away". Let fools be fools if they wish it that way. Throw temptation in front of them and say "go for it".
I'm against that. But I do wish for good education for those who yearn for it, who will work for it, and who show some ability to gain it. Otherwise, we might just stand at the high school door and hand out money to Seniors. But that is just about what we are doing now and to hell with independence.
April 28th, 2009
10:36 am
A minor point, but deserving of emphasis:
"Those believed to pay no taxes."
By whom? The notion that the poor "don't pay taxes" is exclusively found among the propagandists of the extreme right and their brainless followers.

The HOPE has done wonders for UGA and a little exposure to college for those grade-inflated APS kids is also a good thing. I like the lottery terminals in Underground idea, get a little out-of-state money into the pot.

10:40 am
I was at a convience store a few weeks back when a shabbily dressed woman with two children in front of me handed the clerk $12. She wanted 10 scratch off tickets and $2 worth of gas.
Yet I still think we should not do away with the lottery. These are the same people who live day to day, and they would just throw the money away on something else.
April 28th, 2009
10:45 am
I personally think that the Hope program has dropped the value of a college degree by flooding the market with unqualified, highly entitled kids who were given their grades out of high school so that they would qualify for free school later. I paid for my own education before the hope and I see a definate change in the quality of graduates after the Hope. DOWN! The business world now simply asks for an advanced degree make sure that the new crop of candidates can walk and chew gum at the same time. Bottom line here, where there is no self sacrifice, there is no dscipline!
April 28th, 2009
10:49 am
You are wrong that at UGA the Hope Scholarship is not shown on their tab. It is. I am looking at a statement from this past August, and it says "Hope Scholarship 08-09 payment." The students the Athens-Banner Herald asked just probably never go look at the details online. If they aren't living on campus and don't use the meal plan, the only expenses on their account are tuition and fees. They get an e-mail that shows they have an amount due. Then either they or their parents pay it and don't look at the account statement. I can send you a copy of what shows on their account if you would like.
April 28th, 2009
10:53 am
It is true that the poor, uneducated, and irresponsible pay this voluntary tax more than others. In general, it is those that don't have it to spend that end up spending it anyway. It is because of their lack of fiscal discipline to begin with that has caused their plight, and continued fiscal irresponsibility that caused them to continue to waste money on the lottery. That point is well taken, but not necessarily a reason to do away with the lottery. It is just an unfortunate result of having a lottery.
On the other hand, while the lottery has made tuition an option where there was no option before, or made college more affordable and less of a burden for parents whose kids were going to go anyway, it has driven up attendance and driven up costs in general. It has made it more expensive for <3.0 students that don't qualify for HOPE to attend, and this is the biggest travesty of it.
April 28th, 2009
10:55 am
Of course Mr. Wooten left out the part about state universities increasing their tuitions, knowing that the costs were being passed on to Hope and out of state students.
April 28th, 2009
11:01 am
Your points are almost subtle and for the most part I agree with you.
April 28th, 2009
11:04 am
Yep – Lots of those unqualified kids don't get a degree, they flunk out after a year or two. In part , that's because the watered-down programs at most high schools don't adequately prepare kids for college level work. But that's also a result of Bush's NCLB, which forces schools to devote a lot of resources to the less capable students.
April 28th, 2009

Shawny – Approximately 99.7% of the kids that can't make a 3.0 in Georgia high schools don't belong in college anyway, they belong in beautician school.

@Jake, you're a nasty fellow, because that's so true and, more importantly, because you say it.
But yet how confident are you that the ones who "belong in college" are the ones who indeed belong there? Do you reverence the College Board, then, and the accuracy of its tests?
How many of the ones rejected do you suppose might perform better than, and persist longer than, the ascendant ones designated by Princeton as mostly likely to ascend and prosper? If you're the kind of liberal you say you are, then I've got to wonder: How comfortable are you with money-making concerns deciding which young individuals are fit to run the State's affairs?

This is the first article of yours that I agree with totally and fully. Zell Miller's lottery is one of the worst things the Legislature ever produced. It is simply an exorbitant tax levied on the poor class so the upper classes will have free state money for their children's education. I have opposed it from the very beginning.

You presume. You're presumtous. Worse than that, you're morally presumptuous.
Yet, at the same time, I'm sure you know better than the rest.

Great perspective Jim. I remeber when the "Bible Belt" vowed never to succomb to the evil wiles of a lottery. Georgia has not only embraced it, but now they want to become more Vegas like with the placement of slot machines downtown. What a scam! I still do not understand why one can get their gambling vice on anytime, but you can't buy a bottle of wine on Sunday. These types of issues contoniue to expose GA and its leaders as the ultimate hippocrites.

Dementia has officially set in…If the lottery existed only because "poor" people played it, there would be no lottery.

So we cheered the raising of the cigarette tax because that protected the "poor" from themselves and their dirty habits. Now we need to protect the "poor" from themselves again because they are habitial gamblers who are paying for our children's education. Hmmmm……….it makes me think of my mother in law, a retired doctor, who spends over a $100 a week on tickets. I guess I need to step in a make sure she's aware that she has a "problem" and help pull her out of "poverty".

Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) is reportedly switching from the Repubs to the Dems in the Senate.
This gives the Dems 59 Senators and Al Franken (D-MN) will give the Dems 60 Senators, a veto proof majority.
Is the GOP and the conservatives coming unglued?

Arlen Specter is now a Democrat: http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/0409/Specters_statement.html
I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing for the Dems because a more liberal Democrat would probably have been elected there next year. Now Specter will probably hold his seat with the help of independents and an overwhelming majority of Democrats. Hmmm…

The Nanny state argument is a bit much…the lottery was created to be a nanny for families that should pay for their own education. Why is it a function of government to decide who should or how one should pay for college?
Why not sell crack to pay for our kid's college? It's a bit extreme, but illustrates the point. Exploiting greed or more so, stupidity, regardless of the target isn't exactly a just way of securing benefits for yourself, lawful or not.
The lottery is always defending as "for the children." It isn't, it is for the parents, absolving parents from their duty to provide for their children. Does it get more Nanny than that?
Kudos Jim.

12:37 pm
Specter switching is a good thing. If he gets reelected, he can't be as bad as more liberal democrat that might otherwise have that seat. He is pretty middle of the road. If he doesn't get reelected, then we get a senator that will (presumably) be more conservative. That is what we call a win-win scenario.

"The notion that the poor "don't pay taxes" is exclusively found among the propagandists of the extreme right and their brainless followers"
Copywrong – a 5th grader can look up on the IRS website who pays what in federal income taxes. Now, if you want to talk about the poor paying taxes, they DO do it on the local level: beer, cigarettes, and the real tax on the poor, the lottery. Don't let the facts cloud your pretty rose colored glasses, you mindless hysteric liberal.
Arlen Sphincter belonged to the Democrats long ago. Any other pushover want to go join him? Hatch? You Dimwitcrats have have them all. Let's REALLY drain the swamp of useless so-called Republicans and get real the real deal back in there. We've had it up to here with these Dem @ss-kissing Rinos. Time and time and TIME AGAIN it is proven that Republicans bending over for Dimocrats has done ZERO for themselves or the Republican party in general. Drain the swamp alright – drain the swamp of useless Republicans.
By the way, now that the Democrats control EVERYTHING, why are the liberals still angry? Why are they becoming even MORE shrill? MORE hate-filled towards Conservatives and Republicans? Does anyone have a logical explanation for this?
In the mean time, let's just sit back and watch this arrogant, incompetent White House Administration act the fool. Gibbs can't even answer a question without fumblilng "uh, errr, uh, bbbbut, uuuhhhmmmmm…" and when Obama's teleprompter jacks up, it's hilarious: "move it forward please, I've already intruduced these people." LMAO.
And the irony of the week is the White House telling AF1 to go fly around the WTC area for a photo up, scaring the HELL out of everyone. This administration is all about the image. The irony? This is the same administration up in arms and releasing sensitive CIA intelligence on how we interrogate terrorists. The White House did a DAMN good job of terrorizing New Yorkers yesterday. What morons.
Finally, the pinwheel spinning libDims are upset that Fox News is not going to air The Teleprompter Speech on his first 100 days. The liberal media and their mindless minions are all mad at Fox now. WHO CARES? These people HATE Fox News anyway. To hell with what they think. And for irony #2, guess what FoxNews is going to air in the Teleprompter Speech?
"The network will instead carry its regularly scheduled episode "Lie to Me," according to its Web site. The show is among the network's most popular and draws an average of 13 million viewers a week. That compares to the relatively paltry 4.2 million who watched the president's last prime-time press conference on Fox. In all, close to 40 million watched that event on one of the eight networks that carried it."

Jackie-I think Spector saw the writing on the wall.There is speculation within the PA republican party that he was not going to be the party's choice this coming election. Changing sides he knew was his only chance of continuing his political career. So much for sticking with principles. I for one and happy to see him go.
April 28th, 2009

Allen, Jim et al – Let's create responsible citizens by having their parents pay for their education instead of the government sponsored lottery? That isn't exactly my definition of being self-reliant. Twenty-five years ago I worked my way through UGA. Next Fall my daughter will start there financed with a combination of Zell's HOPE, Obama's Pell grant increases and a little help from Dad. Does that mean our society or my daughter's character is somehow diminshed? I don't think so.
April 28th, 2009

Bedwetter: As usual when you get all your info from right-wing sites, you're wrong.
Fox News IS broadcasting the President's speech; the Fox NETWORK AFFILIATE is not.
Geez, have you EVER been right? I mean, about anything?
April 28th, 2009

Everydayjane put it very well. I keep hearing how the poor are spending all their money on the lottery. Other than anecdotal, where's the evidence the lottery is financed by the poor?

In the aftermath of the financial crisis, banks and other financial institutions are increasingly looking into new ways of doing business. Bank account lotteries would seem to provide such an avenue, but they are currently forbidden in the US - one of the reasons being they are too risky. Agnes Bundy Scanlan and Tina Petruzziello, of TD Bank, explain the legal framework applicable to state lotteries.

I post my tasting notes of good (and bad) beer that I find in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. I don't write snooty or overly nuanced reviews, nor do I drink only one style of beer.
I'll generally rate beers on this purposefully coarse scale, with a few accompanying tasting notes:
1 = bad
2 = meh (mediocre)
3 = good
4 = exceptional
Follow me for an eclectic mix of beers and where to find them. A single beer (or themed set) is auto-posted each day from a queue, hopefully with no more than a few weeks' lag (beer on tap is bumped to the top).
I am Stephen Goggin. When I'm not drinking good beer and writing about it, I'm a PhD Candidate at UC Berkeley.
Sierra Nevada's 2011 Bigfoot Barleywine. A 3 out of 4. Great barleywine. Nice balance between the bitterness and the overly sweet malt presence. A little bit of spicy and caramel nuance comes out of the malt, but not too much. Very good six-pack, and while it isn't exceptional, it is definitely worth trying. Beautiful color too. Along with Hoptimum, this is probably one of my favorites to come out of Sierra Nevada.

Boy you have done a great job with your organizing Obama! You are also doing a fantabulous job with America.
(Wiki) Saul David Alinsky (January 30, 1909 – June 12, 1972) was an American community organizer and writer. He is generally considered to be the founder of modern community organizing, and has been compared to Thomas Paine as being "one of the great American leaders of the nonsocialist left."[4] He is often noted for his book Rules for Radicals.
In the course of nearly four decades of political organizing, Alinsky received much criticism, but also gained praise from many public figures. His organizing skills were focused on improving the living conditions of poor communities across North America. In the 1950s, he began turning his attention to improving conditions of the African-American ghettos, beginning with Chicago's and later traveling to other ghettos in California, Michigan, New York City, and a dozen other "trouble spots".
His ideas were later adapted by some U.S. college students and other young organizers in the late 1960s and formed part of their strategies for organizing on campus and beyond.[5] Time magazine once wrote that "American democracy is being altered by Alinsky's ideas," and conservative author William F. Buckley said he was "very close to being an organizational genius."

Bennington woman accused of embezzlementFebruary 12,2013Woman accused of stealing
BENNINGTON A Gage Street teenager pleaded innocent on Monday to a felony charge of embezzlement after police said they believed she tried to take about $37 in clothing from a store on her second day working there.
Kayla Vosburgh, 19, of Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court on Monday on the felony charge and a misdemeanor charge of petit larceny. She was released without bail.
In an affidavit, Officer David Dutcher, of the Bennington Police Department, said he went to the Label Shopper in Bennington on Jan. 23 to meet with the store manager, Barbara Barber.
Dutcher said Barber told him Vosburgh was a trainee in her second day at the store on Jan. 22 when Barber saw her coming out of a dressing room. Barber said she then checked Vosburghs bag because the store has a policy to check all employees bags at the end of the day.
According to Barber, she found about $37 in clothing in the bag. She said Vosburgh told her that her mother had bought the clothes for her.
Dutcher said when he spoke to Vosburgh later, she said she had been a frequent shopper at the store before working there and bought the clothes that were allegedly found in her bag but Barber told Dutcher she never saw Vosburgh in the store before she started working there.
Dutcher said he also took a phone call from Vosburghs mother who called about her daughters charges. The mother denied buying the clothes for Vosburgh, Dutcher said.MORE IN This Just InVGS answers state Full StoryPedestrian hurt in Friday crash Full StoryFAIR HAVEN — The town of Fair Haven is planning to convert its streetlights from...

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Before leaving the court after their most lopsided win in nearly five years, the Detroit Pistons huddled near midcourt for a brief pep talk.
It's been another mediocre season so far, but a few more performances like this would turn things around in a hurry.
"We got a great win here at home -- let's keep going," guard Brandon Knight said. "Every day, keep building."
Knight and Charlie Villanueva scored 19 points apiece, and the Pistons routed the Phoenix Suns 117-77 on Wednesday night. Detroit has won back-to-back games for the first time this season and has gone 5-3 since opening the season with eight straight losses.
The Pistons led 55-44 at halftime and then broke the game open when the Suns came unglued in the third quarter. Phoenix picked up four technical fouls in the third and trailed by as many as 44 in the fourth.
Detroit shot 12 of 16 from 3-point range.
"A lot of good play from a lot of good guys," Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said. "You don't have a lot of games like this, but obviously a lot of bright spots that we've got to keep on building on."
Rodney Stuckey added 18 points for Detroit. Kyle Singler and Tayshaun Prince contributed 12 each, and Greg Monroe had nine points and eight rebounds.
Afterward, the team stayed on the court in a huddle, already trying to set the tone for the next game on the schedule.
"The message was basically: 'Continue doing what we're doing. Everybody stay together."'
Luis Scola scored 11 points for the Suns, who beat Detroit 92-89 at Phoenix in early November.
It was Detroit's most lopsided win since beating Milwaukee 114-69 on Dec. 31, 2007.
Phoenix was in the third game of a six-game road trip. It was 24-all after the first quarter, but the Suns went the entire second period and most of the third without a single assist.
"There was nothing that we did that you could say was even NCAA quality," Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry said. "There's not anything to say. It was an absolutely horrendous game, and we'll have to do much, much better."
Corey Maggette's 3-pointer capped a 15-5 run in the second and gave Detroit a 52-38 lead. It was an 11-point game after two and the worst was still to come for the Suns.
Detroit's Jason Maxiell and Phoenix's Markieff Morris were called for a double technical early in the third, and Maxiell followed that with a dunk that made it 59-44. Knight was then fouled on a fast break by Shannon Brown, who was whistled for a technical of his own. The Detroit guard made all three free throws for an 18-point lead.
Goran Dragic was the next to get a technical, and when Sebastian Telfair was called for one with 5:03 left in the third, Phoenix had as many technicals in the quarter as points. A free throw by Stuckey made it 74-48.
"It's embarrassing. No professional loses by 30 or 40," Phoenix's Jared Dudley said. "It's kind of how we lost. Let's be honest, Detroit is not a really good team. Their team has struggled, like us at times."
At one point in the third, Gentry sent a whole new group of five to the scorer's table to check in, although they couldn't all do so at once because the Suns had a player shooting free throws.
Phoenix couldn't even manage a cosmetic fourth-quarter run to make it respectable. After a 3-pointer by Knight pushed the lead to 40, Gentry called a timeout and stood with his hands on his hips, staring out at the court with a bemused look on his face. A dunk by Detroit rookie Andre Drummond made it 109-67.
NOTES: Phoenix did avoid the most lopsided loss by an NBA team this season, according to STATS, LLC. Charlotte lost to Oklahoma City 114-69 on Monday. ... The last team to go a whole quarter without an assist was Toronto on Nov. 13, in the fourth against Indiana, according to STATS.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.
1. Andrew Wiggins - Cavaliers
8. Nik Stauskas - Kings
18. Tyler Ennis - Suns

TEAMS: Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles
Kansas City Chiefs tackle Branden Albert signed his $9.8 million franchise tender, so you would expect he'd be happy and prepared to get to work. Not so fast in my Lee Corso voice. According to head coach Andy Reid, Albert was the only player not to show up for voluntary workouts on Monday. Pro Football Talk is reporting that Albert who was a guest on NFL AM Tuesday morning said he "planned to stay away from all Chiefs activities until he knows for certainty what they plan to do with him." "Until I know my situation with certainty, I'm going to stay away," Albert said onNFL AM. Albert said he wants a long-term commitment from the Chiefs in the form of a long term deal, and he does not like the uncertainty that goes along with having a one-year franchise tender. He's also uncomfortable knowing the Chiefs may draft a tackle at #1 and trade him also. If I'm going to be there, if I'm going to be traded, if I'm going to be there long term, everything right now is uncertain," Albert sai

Cattle rancher, first responder to Hurricane Katrina… post office supervisor?
Doc has worked in the post office at Rollins since 2006. And 2006 was not a standard first year on the job. Within six months of signing on as a postal assistant, both of the senior workers retired, leaving Doc in charge of the "box office." He is still very much a fixture, selling stamp rolls with a smile and a joke from his repertoire.
His previous experience with mail delivery was limited to a brief stint as a rural route carrier. He spent more time working for a company called InTents that managed logistics for emergency relief workers. When Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, Doc was among the first wave called in. The FEMA-sponsored camp that he managed provided the essentials for National Guard members assisting with the recovery effort. The public had already been evacuated from the immediate area and it was up to Gallup and InTents to provide food, fuel, lights, generators and the like to the National Guard.
So switching to a post office job was more than a little change of pace. Doc remembers thinking, "Wow…this is like a work schedule for someone in the real world…it's less dramatic." But he loves this job. The post office is a unit within the larger community of Rollins College to Doc and he actively tries to make every day different and fun. Customer service and camaraderie among co-workers are equally important for keeping everything in ship shape.
The one thing that he wants the Rollins community to know is that: "In the middle of difficulty, comes opportunity."

The Texas Tech senior is small, at 5'10", and about 185 pounds. Scouting reports are that he is elusive with reliable hands. He's a decent route runner and apparently fearless for middle routes. He had a great senior season with more than 1,000 yards and five touchdowns.
There's our wide receiver.

Prominent tournaments throughout the world now offer so much information — photographs, live games, standings, and even in some cases commentary — that it can be said that watching chess is now an independent recreation, akin to watching baseball or hockey. Unfortunately, it will never be a general subject of conversation in most social circles.
One present focus of attention in chess circles is the International Chess Federation's (FIDE) Renova Group Grand Prix tournament being played in Zug, Switzerland. It was originally scheduled for Portugal, but the promoter, Agon, was unable to raise money for it there. So FIDE switched the tournament's location where it found funding from the Renova Group and Victor Vekselberg, its chairman of the board who is a longtime chess fan. Hikaru Nakamura and Fabiano Caruana both gave up entries into the US Championship in St. Louis to play in the Switzerland event. However, Gata Kamsky plans to play in both; finishing in Zug on May 1, and then flying to St. Louis on May 3. It will be very interesting to see how this turns out for him. The Grand Prix's website is: zug2013.fide.com/en/main-page. It offers standings, live games, and other information. After five rounds, the leaders are Alexander Morozevich and Veselin Topalov.

Newer track by Dillon Francis. The intro is reminiscent of video games juiced on pure happiness. Dank. Word.
