Yahoo, the Bill Gates search engine owned by AOL, really needs to fire whoever is in charge of assigning pictures to their articles. Yesterday, the entertainment portal, whose major rival is Chum Hum, totally Zuckerberg'd two posts, attaching images of Sarah Shahi for an article about Sarah Silverman, and John Singleton for a piece on John Krasinski. It's pretty racist, too, because apparently Lycos is under the assumption that all white women named Sarah look alike.

Pardon me... but, I liked the quote and looked it up. I keep finding Zelda Fitz-GERALD, wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Did you make a mistake or is there background I don't know? (Excuse me if I sound rude. I assure you I'm only curious.)
Aside from the quote, I love the dog. Looks like a slightly curlier version of my dog who has past away recently. (My dog was a dachshund/beagle mix) Dachshund mutts all seem to get that dachshund face! This is a very nice/touching image.

Turning Personal Tragedy into Triumph
This brave mom decided to give back to other moms after her sweet daughter died at only 8 days old.
Kimberly Seals Allers: Phyllis Rabinowitz knows a mother's worst nightmare. On July 21, 2006, her daughter, Rebecca Ava, died at 8 days old after being misdiagnosed in the emergency room. The trauma began with the ER experience. "The doctor was so dismissive," Phyllis recalls. "He was like, 'This is just a common cold. I've seen children for twenty years. I've got to get to a real emergency down the hall ....' No matter what my husband and I asked for, the whole experience was very condescending. We knew our daughter was sick."
The hospital refused to re-admit Rebecca. By the next morning, she was septic and bleeding from the nose. Phyllis will never forget the sight of her husband desperately performing CPR, or the seemingly endless ride in the ambulance. But baby Rebecca didn't make it. The Rabinowitzes ordered a state autopsy (independent of the hospital) -- and it revealed that baby Rebecca had had a common enteroviral infection, not a common cold. Had her symptoms been properly diagnosed and treated, she would still be here today.
Instead, Phyllis and her husband, Andrew, learned -- in the most horrible way -- that most emergency room physicians are not properly trained in pediatric emergency care. In fact, very few hospitals have all the necessary equipment to properly treat babies.
"Like any parents, we were profoundly sad and angry," says Phyllis. "I was in a deep depression. We started researching for answers. We knew something was not right. We learned that all ERs are not created equal when it comes to being ready to treat infants."
Sitting in their den with supportive friends and family, Phyllis and her husband decided to do something -- and the R Baby Foundation was born. The nonprofit foundation has the distinct purpose of saving as many babies' lives as possible -- particularly those who have some sort of viral infection in their first month of life -- by improving pediatric care in emergency rooms across the country. Today, R Baby's work includes raising awareness about infant mortality and emergency-room care, providing training opportunities for anyone who touches a baby, providing life-saving equipment to hospitals, and parent education. (Check their website for a soon-to-be-released 10-page guide for parents.)
I'm a proud supporter of the R Baby Foundation, and I consider Phyllis to be my sister in the struggle to reduce infant mortality -- a cause I am passionate about through my work at MochaManual.com. This year, the MochaManual team and I will be once again participating in the R Baby Foundation's Mother's Day Run/Walk on Sunday, May 9, in New York City's Central Park. The aim of the Walk is to raise awareness and funds to improve emergency pediatric care for babies. What a great way to start my Mother's Day! Team momlogic, anyone? There are plenty of activities for the whole family.
Phyllis and I were having lunch recently, and I so admired her strength and her determination to turn her tragedy into a triumph for other moms and their babies. (I also admired her radiant glow. She's expecting -- and looking fabulous!) Phyllis had an amazing career in the cosmetics industry and a job she loved, but her life-changing experience became a career-changing experience. As we talked about the joys and challenges of running a business, she said, "I knew work would no longer fulfill me in the same way as being forever connected to my daughter through this work. I just followed my heart and never looked back."
If you're a mom who followed her heart to a business or nonprofit venture, join Phyllis, myself and an amazing roundtable of kick-butt mompreneurs this Friday, March 5, at 12:30 PM EST for a dynamic discussion of priorities, community, risking it all and having it all. Click here to register for the live webcast event and join the conversation for a worthy cause.
As for life after loss, Phyllis says it best: "My baby only lived eight days, but she's in my heart every day. And she inspired us to help save other babies so they could live their lives."

I wanted to say that it is nice to know that someone discussed this as I had problems discovering the same information elsewhere. This was the first web site that gave me the information. Thanks.
I was wondering what I'd do with my old 3-D devices

Even as a child, Stacey Tisdale dreamed of a better life. Growing up in a rough neighborhood of North Philadelphia, she saw little in her surroundings to encourage her. After her mother died when Tisdale was ten, Stacey drifted, dropping out of school in the ninth grade.
But her determination never truly left her, and nine years ago she decided to do something to fulfill her aspirations. "I was tired of merely existing," she says. "I wanted to do better, be better." She took the first steps, changing her environment by moving to Tannersville. She then completed a GED preparation program through Northampton Community College (NCC), attained her GED and enrolled as a freshman at NCC.
Out of the classroom for many years, and with less than one year of high school, Tisdale confronted many challenges. She had to learn to read and write effectively. Algebra seemed daunting. Not surprisingly, she faced numerous gaps in her education.
Learning, however, proved to encompass more than equations and sentence structure. "I found love, support and motivation at NCC," Tisdale says. NCC faculty and staff members became like a family to her. Many had a profound impact on her, including Kathy Weichel, student advisor; Ken Graves, associate professor of counseling; Matt Connell, dean at the Monroe Campus; Jennifer Bell, student services administrator; and Rosalee Boyer, student services administrator. With the encouragement of these mentors, Tisdale grew to believe in herself ever more.
Among numerous positive experiences, Tisdale recalls participating in the NCC Leadership Program. Retreats with other leadership students taught her about herself and other people. Meetings with community business leaders expanded her knowledge, and helping implement a fundraiser for art supplies for children at B.F. Morey Elementary School gave her satisfaction in serving the community.
After earning an NCC associate degree in business management in 2007, Tisdale continued her studies at East Stroudsburg University. She recently graduated with a master's degree in management and leadership, on the public administration track, and a minor in psychology.
Now, she looks forward to a career in the federal government or as an adviser in a higher education setting.
Throughout her journey, she has found that other students like to confide in her. She continues to be an inspiration to others: "No matter what anyone says, you can do anything," she says.

There aren't many new plans this year, but CHECKBOOK's Guide to Federal Health Plans author, Walton Francis says United Health Care has a new high-deductable consumer driven plan.
The big news for the season, says Francis, is the 13% hike in the Blue Cross Standard Option premium. Francis points says "it's still a great plan, in terms of coverage."
The point is that most, if not all, the plans have some sort of change or another. Even if you've decided not to change to the plan you have, it's worth your time and trouble to find out what changes the plan has in store for you!

A group of spotted eagle rays glides by in perfect formation, dolphins play in the wake of the boat and the great barracuda remains motionless in the water, awaiting his prey. Marine life in Bocas del Toro is spectacular from above the water and under the water it is like swimming through an aquarium- only a lot more interesting, with the rock structures and the established corals and sponges to admire, as well as an old boot- a reminder that not only fish use these waters!
There is such a variety of diving experiences to be had in Bocas del Toro, although the visibility can be changeable, the rewards are definitely there, such as the dramatic pinnacles and drop offs on the Ocean side, where large pelagic species can be seen. Compared with the more protected back reefs where beautiful juvenile corals abound, giving shelter and homes to many fish and other bright and colourful creatures. It is surprising how many different species you can see including rays, flying gurnard (chicharra), baby cuttlefish (sepia juvenile) the striking spotted drum fish (pez obispo), beautiful fairy bassets (Loreto Coliamarillo) and colourful Christmas tree worms (Gusano de Arbol de Navidad). Lobsters can be found paired up beneath rocks and dozens of brittle stars cling to the soft corals and sponges or any other surface they can find, giving a fantastic contrast in colours of purple, orange, red, blue, green and yellow.
You can easily get hooked by the undiscovered diving potential of the region and its welcoming town, set in an archipelago of beautiful islands with dense mangrove and tropical growth. Much of the diving surrounding Bocas del Toro has been around the back reefs where the waters are ideal for training and year round diving. However there is a lot to be discovered and dived outside of the islands, new dive sites are being found every week where nurse sharks, southern stingrays and seahorses have been spotted. Drop off's, pinnacles, caves and sea mounts create a diverse underwater world in which to explore.
Bocas Del Toro makes an ideal location for studies into marine ecosystems with its diversity of habitats not limited to coral atolls and reefs, but mangroves, sea grass beds, estuaries, islands and beaches wait to be discovered and cherished. All these habitats interact in one way or another and harbour an abundance of tropical marine species.
There are many people dedicated to conservation of the natural world in Bocas del Toro. Locally based, national and international conservation programs are all working to protect and enhance this beautiful area for this and future generations to enjoy. Volunteers are always wanted to help in a variety of projects and support the essential work being carried out. There are opportunities to help patrol the beaches in the Leatherback turtle nesting season (March-July), collecting the eggs laid and moving them to safe areas to be hatched and released or get involved in diving-based conservation projects, learning about the environment you are exploring through scuba whilst contributing to scientific research.
The presently untouched nature of Bocas' marine habitats presents a rare opportunity for students and nature lovers to get involved in an area that is not plagued with large-scale fisheries or aquaculture, has limited large scale boat activity and no major port. For the most part, the increase in tourism would appear to be the only major threat to the local environment, and this is still on a comparatively small scale.
The area is one of the jewels of the Caribbean, where many hidden treasures lie in wait beneath the sparkling seas to be discovered … so what are you waiting for? DIVE BOCAS!!!

Stella McCartney is to collaborate with War Child on a new art project, Draw Me to Safety. The designer will create a piece of fashion based on art submissions from children in war-affected countries.
Stella McCartney has joined forces with War Child on a new art project.
The 42-year-old designer will conjure up a bespoke piece of fashion based on an international project, Draw Me to Safety, which tasks youngsters in the UK and in war-affected countries to create artwork based on the question, 'What makes you feel safe?'
The international project is designed to create awareness of how children affected by war see the world.
Stella said: ''This project is about young people standing with children affected by conflict. Children see the world with clarity and honesty. War Child UK and I are excited to share their insights through art that will raise awareness and encourage the world to do more to protect children from war.''
Profits from Stella's fashion design, based on the artwork submitted, will go directly to War Child.
The charity's chief executive Rob Williams said: ''There are children across the world who don't know what safety means because all they have ever seen is conflict. Draw Me to Safety is about the power of children's voices to talk directly to the world.''
Stella announced the project yesterday (10.06.14) at the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict.
The event was hosted by A-list actress Angelina Jolie in London.
The 'Maleficent' star said: ''These are moving examples of how children who have lost so much see the world. I hope that this campaign will bring their world closer to us all, and that many people will feel inspired to help protect vulnerable children living in conflict zones.''

My Dad who is in his 40's plays, older brother and I are in our 20's and play, and my little brother who is 9 plays WOW. Now I think we all play differently. I leveled a 66 Hunter for him so he can run around in the lowbie areas and help people or do what he wants. I on the other hand am into PVP and raiding while my Dad is a light raider and pvper. I think as long as kids are controlled they are just fine playing WOW. I think kids of that age have their own playstyle and they enjoy it as much as I enjoyed GI Joes when I was a kid.

Switzerland may have a population of just 7.6 million but its workforce is highly skilled, and many are employed by a highly developed financial service sector and a thriving hi-tech manufacturing sector. As a result it has one of the highest GDP per capita rates in the world, and is an important consumer market.
This is reflected in its PR industry. Renata Cavegn, Head of Marketing & Communication of Accenture in Switzerland has recently returned to the country having spent several years abroad, and she reports that the size of the PR industry has ballooned in her absence. "I am amazed at the number of PR specialists there are now in Switzerland. In almost any sector it is easy to find a very good agency that understands the Swiss market and can help you influence it."
Switzerland is one of the most international countries in the world. It has three official languages - German, French and Italian – and the influx of global corporations to the country has brought with it a new wave of English speakers. As a result it is vital for PR practitioners to be fluent in all four languages.
These high quality, multilingual PR specialists do not come cheaply. Like so much else in Switzerland, PR services are expensive. Cavegn comments: "Good service has its price, so in this country you must be willing to put forward a suitable budget."
The main national daily newspapers are Tages-Anzeiger, Neue Zürcher Zeitung and Le Temps, but it is the Sunday newspapers which really set the agenda: Sonntagszeitung, NZZ am Sonntag, Sonntag. Free newspapers such as 20 Minuten
and Blick am Abend have been gaining ground recently.
There is a nationwide television channel for each of the three languages: SF1 in German, RTS UN in French, and RSI La 1 in Italian.
Think of Switzerland and most people think of chocolate and clocks. This stereotype is reflected in the country's leading brands with Nestle, Lindt, Toblerone and Suchard remaining some of the world's most recognised and consumed chocolate brands, and Swatch, Hublot, TAG Heuer, Tissot and Omega are synonymous with high quality timepieces.
There is though much more to Switzerland in the
21st Century. Zurich is one of the world's leading financial services centres and Zurich Financial Services is a global brand. Nespresso and Nescafe are strong coffee brands, Swiss Air is known throughout the world, and then there are smaller up and coming brands such as women's fashion label Tally Weisl, food manufacturer Maggi, computer accessory company Logitech and winter sports kit manufacturer Mammut.
Switzerland may be one of the most international countries in the world, but curiously this is not reflected in its agency market which, despite Edelman's acquisition of Zurich-based K Comms in February 2012, remains dominated by locals. In fact, Burson-Marsteller and Grayling are the only global groups with any notable presence in Switzerland.
According to the 2011 report from the industry body, the Bund der Public Relations Agenturen der Schweiz (BPRA), the largest agency is Farner Consulting with 60 employees and an annual
turnover of 15 million Swiss francs, up 4% from its 2010 turnover. Behind it is Burson-Marsteller with 339 employees. As a global group it does not release financial figures specific to the Swiss market.
Next comes a group of agencies with 15 to 30 employees and turnover between 2.5 million and 5 million Swiss francs: YJOO Consulting, Communicators Zurich, freicom, Furrer Hugi & Partner, Grayling Suisse, and Prime Communications. While most of these larger agencies have remained stable during the past
couple of years, the final two on that list showed a decline in turnover between 2010 and 2011 of 26% and 30% respectively.
For Cavegn at Accenture a notable feature of the Swiss market in recent years has been the growth of micro-agencies and the freelancer market. "There are now many highly experienced and very capable consultants working on their own or as part of a small partnership," she says.

The house was very nice and we had a great time at the house. There was 5 of us in total with 2 kids staying in all 4 bedrooms. The kitchen was nicely stocked and the beds were comfortable. Great location, the house was very close to Disney and the drive to Universal and Sea World were within 20 - 25 mins. Thanks
Thank you so much for opening your home! We have enjoyed having two comfortable places to relax during our Christmas vacation at Walt Disney World. Your home is beautiful and we are looking forward to returning again and again. We love the location and of course found the short-cuts to the parks. Thank you again and hope to stay here very soon again.
We've had a lovely 2 week stay here and can't really find fault with anything. We found the villa to be in a very good location, clean and tidy. We found the kitchen to be very well equipped and there is plenty of bed linen, towels, etc.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
P.S. We would recommend the villa. If we were to return, it wold be here. Thanks!
Had a great time. Villa was fantastic. Loved the pool. Good location. Villa had everything we needed and very clean. Would definitely return. Recommend Red Lobster and Applebees for eating.
Our weekend stay here was great. The home is well kept. It is nicely decorated.
We will always consider your home in all our future visits to Orlando.
Thank you!
The house is very nice, but don't expect 4 bedrooms. Two of them have twin beds that are like springs to sleep on. They need to put 2 regular or queen size beds in them. The game room is not air conditioned. It is a renovated garage. Be sure and bring your own toilet paper, paper towels, soap, etc. Very close to Disney, would be great for 4 or 5 people . The couch is comfortable. It's still a bargain compared to hotel prices and it is nice to be able to move around and the kitchen was nice also.
Owner Response: There are 4 bedrooms with one king, one queen and 4 twin beds. The twin bed mattresses are brand new in December 2012. So sorry we didn't realize they were getting uncomfortable in time for your visit. We have also been renovating the game room. It is a converted garage so in the summer it will be hotter than the rest of the house. To help reduce that heat we have installed a curtain over the garage door to keep out that hot Florida sun. More changes are on the way so please come back to see what's new!
We stayed at this home for 9 nights at the end of August. We couldn't have been more thrilled with this property. We have stayed at 5 different vacation homes in the Orlando in the past, and this was by far our favorite. The location is fantastic - literally 5 minutes to Disney.
1. The owners were extremely easy and helpful to communicate with.
2. The home feels brand new. Everything was clean and well maintained. It appears nearly everything has been replaced in the house in the last few months (paint, furniture, new tile, new blinds, new decor). Every room has a brand new flat screen TV (including a LARGE flat screen TV in the living room AND game room). There are also brand new ceiling fans in every bedroom, the living room and game room.
3. We loved the fact that the entire house is tiled. No dirty carpet and the tile feels nice and cool in the hot Florida climate.
4. No neighbors behind the house.
5. The management company - Lowery's was great. This was, by far, the best experience we have ever had with a management company. They were polite, professional and very responsive when we called. We called for a few random things (toilet seat broken, utensil caddy missing from dishwasher, etc) and they were there in less than an hour! I would not hesitate to book ANY home that Lowery's manages.
6. The house was designed for a large group. There is comfortable seating for 6 in big, overstuffed leather sofas in the living room. There is also seating for up to 8 at the dining room table.
7. Lots of extras - blu ray player, pool toys, xbox 360 with kinnect, beach towels, etc.
8. Wonderful, large master bathroom with a separate soaking tub, large walk in shower and large walk in closet.
9. Very nice interior - the homes in Indian Creek were obviously built to a higher standard than some of the other vacation homes in the area. Little touches like lots of extra closet space, vaulted ceilings, and arches really add a luxurious touch.
10. There was a very nice playground about a 3 minute walk away.
11. The neighborhood was very quiet. We never saw any of our neighbors!
12. The pictures from the listing are very recent and accurate.
Cons: (very minor, none would prevent us from returning)
1. No blackout curtains - no biggie, but it would be a nice touch.
2. The garage (game room), despite being air conditioned, always seemed to be 15 degrees warmer than the rest of the house.
We would definitely return!
Owner Response: We have upgraded the game room to add curtains over the garage door to help keep that hot Florida sun out. We have also enclosed the furnace and hot water tank and the washer and dryer for a more pleasant experience. More changes are in the plans to make this the best game room around.
Hi, we are the owners of Sunshine Getaway. We have rented villas in Indian Creek and other Disney area communities for the last 12 years as guests. We decided to buy our own villa and give our guests the best of what we have experienced over all those years. We have an excellent management company that can take care of your every need while you stay in our Florida retreat. We chose the best location we could find, close to everything. If you spend a long day at the parks, like we do, a short drive back home at the end of your day is a blessing.
We are from Ohio and stay in the villa ourselves several times a year to make sure everything meets your needs and to get away from those cold Ohio winters. Since we are new owners we welcome any comments that will help us make your stay in our home the best. We hope you all love it as much as we do and will come back and stay with us again.
We hope you pick our Sunshine Getaway and have the time of your life!

INDIANAPOLIS – An initial vote on the proposed constitutional gay marriage ban will come today after House Speaker Brian Bosma rescued the measure Tuesday by moving it to a friendlier committee.
He said he struggled with the decision over the weekend but had heard from a majority of the House Republican caucus – for and against the measure – that they wanted to vote on the bill on the House floor.
"This seemed like the best way to do it; the least intrusive and most respectful of the process," Bosma said.
He moved House Joint Resolution 3 – the proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage and civil unions – and a companion bill to the House Elections Committee from the House Judiciary Committee.
"It has a likelihood of making it to the floor with this route," Bosma said.
Democrats called the maneuver forum shopping and a bully tactic.
The bipartisan commission fighting the amendment also weighed in.
"Speaker Bosma repeatedly promised to treat this issue like any other bill and that no one person would make this decision," Freedom Indiana campaign manager Megan Robertson said. "We are proud of the way we have conducted ourselves and disappointed that Speaker Bosma did not live up to his word."
The elections panel will hear the bill at 3:30 p.m. today and a vote will be taken. It is expected to easily pass. Of the 13 committee members, eight voted in support of the gay marriage amendment in 2011 (including two Democrats), two Democrats voted against and three are new members.
The House Judiciary Committee heard the bill Jan. 13 but stalled when several Republican members were publicly undecided and would not confirm their votes in advance to leadership.
One of those members was Rep. Dan Leonard, R-Huntington.
"Moving it to a different committee was probably his only alternative to get it out of committee," Leonard said.
He specifically lobbied against Bosma removing committee members, saying it was a terrible public policy precedent to set.
Bosma made a veiled reference to shadiness regarding the Judiciary Committee but would not embellish.
"I'm actually more concerned about the path by which the bill appeared to be being questionable in committee. It was a hard left turn that came kind of out of the blue," he said. "I decided this was the right course to protect the institution."
The bill to amend the state constitution says: "Only a marriage between one (1) man and one (1) woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Indiana. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized."
Lawmakers passed the bill in 2011, but it takes another vote by the General Assembly to send it to Hoosiers for approval or defeat on the election ballot in November.
Leonard said he's not sure the ban on gay marriage has a place in the Constitution. It is already in state law, but a second sentence in the proposal also would bar future lawmakers from enacting civil unions.
"I would vote for it without the second sentence," he said.
Other Republicans have expressed similar sentiments; including Rep. Casey Cox, R-Fort Wayne.
He was a member on Judiciary who said he was inclined to move the bill to the House floor though he would like to eliminate the second sentence. He is also on the Elections Committee.
Bosma doesn't want House Republicans to offer the change because it would restart the process of the constitutional amendment and push a public vote on the matter until 2016.
But Democrats might also not want to offer the amendment because they have a better chance of defeating the resolution with the contentious provision in.

rooms we adore.
What do we think? — tanya b.
Dowling Duncan and redesigning the American Dollar:
Why the size?
We have kept the width the same as the existing dollars. However we have changed the size of the note so that the one dollar is shorter and the 100 dollar is the longest. When stacked on top of each other it is easy to see how much money you have. It also makes it easier for the visually impaired to distinguish between notes.
Why a vertical format?
When we researched how notes are used we realized people tend to handle and deal with money vertically rather than horizontally. You tend to hold a wallet or purse vertically when searching for notes. The majority of people hand over notes vertically when making purchases. All machines accept notes vertically. Therefore a vertical note makes more sense.
Why different colors?
It's one of the strongest ways graphically to distinguish one note from another.
Why these designs?
We wanted a concept behind the imagery so that the image directly relates to the value of each note. We also wanted the notes to be educational, not only for those living in America but visitors as well. Each note uses a black and white image depicting a particular aspect of American history and culture. They are then overprinted with informational graphics or a pattern relating to that particular image.
$1 – The first African American president
$5 – The five biggest native American tribes
$10 – The bill of rights, the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution
$20 – 20th Century America
$50 – The 50 States of America
$100 – The first 100 days of President Franklin Roosevelt. During this time he led the congress to pass more important legislations than most presidents pass in their entire term. This helped fight the economic crises at the time of the great depression. Ever since, every new president has been judged on how well they have done during the first 100 days of their term.

A walking human gets about 75 MPG (miles of travel per gallon of food energy). A biking human? Even better, at 290 MPG.
But when you factor in all the fossil fuels that go into making that food, we only get 18 MPG walking and 70 MPG on a bike. Check out the full rundown of the energetic calculations at Do The Math.
Truly interesting analysis, especially for math geeks like myself!

Reed-Solomon Error Correction Encoder/Decoder for Embedded Devices
- May 30th, 2011
- Posted in software
- By relwin
- Write comment
To support embedded devices this C module, named RSCOMBO, generates a polynomial data file which is then included and recompiled into the embedded version. There also are a few #define's which support compiling the encoder and decoder separately, thus saving ROM.
Results from testing on a STM08 Discovery development board (8-bit, 16MHz CPU) show that encoding time is a function of message length and number of parity bytes, whereas decoding is significantly impacted by the number of parity bytes. For this target encoding 128 bytes with 8 bytes parity takes 6ms, decoding and correcting 4 errors takes 32ms. Reducing to 4 parity bytes cuts encoding/decoding time in half.
ROM and RAM usage is very low: the encoder takes about 1k ROM and 0 bytes RAM; decoder takes 2.5k ROM and 60~120 bytes RAM, depending on parity size. The encoder and decoder use the same polynomial data so including both uses about 2.5k ROM.
Usage: read the "module configuration" comments in rscombo.c to generate data and configure between workstation testing and embedded target development.Reed-Solomon encoder/decoder module for embedded devices (682)

Just in case some of you use Ecopy with sims this might be nice to know.
Well we have an E-copy photocopier.. dont know of any of you have these.
basically it gives us the option to also scan Docs to Sims.
well it uses a connector.. Since the May update this has not been working with the old sims connector.
We only actually found this out as we just done the June update and used this option for the first time..
Anyway basically if you get an error when trying to do this - *Could not load connector library*
You need to install the new connector which you can get from here (download)
Install the new connector on the E-copy machine but be the instructions that you are given aint very good.
When it says "make a print screen of the license" it means take a print screen of the connector license.. The part that contacts the access to sims credentials.. Serial Number etc.
Hope that helps anyone who has one
If you need Any help let me know as we have fixed ours now
This is out one i believe link but should count for all Toshiba E-copy Photocopiers

Absorbing news
Nanoengineers at UC San Diego's Jacobs School of Engineering have invented incredibly tiny sponges capable of soaking up a broad class of dangerous toxins in the bloodstream. So-called "pore-forming toxins" punch holes in cell membranes, killing them, and are produced by lethal microbes like MRSA and E. coli and in the venoms of snakes and bees.
Unlike other anti-toxin platforms that require customization to individual toxin types, the scientists say the new nanosponges (approximately 85 nanometers in diameter or roughly 3,000 times smaller than a red blood cell) absorb multiple toxins regardless of molecular shape. In a study using alpha-haemolysin toxin from MRSA, pre-innoculation with nanosponges enabled 89 percent of tested mice to survive lethal doses. Administering nanosponges after the lethal dose led to 44 percent survival.
The research, led by Liangfang Zhang, PhD, an associate professor in the Department of Nanoengineering and researcher at the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, was published in Nature Nanotechnology.
Read the full news release here.
A pretty amazing (and completely new!) way of removing toxins from the blood stream: The nanosponges, which are 3000 times smaller than red blood cells, flood the blood stream and intercept the toxins. The nanosponge can absorb tens to hundreds of toxins before it is eventually metabolized by the liver (with no ill effects).
that's promising. more research! (i.e. more funding!)
We call them "trailer park chemists"
How To Synthesize Sudafed from Meth
Frustrated by how difficult it is to buy Sudafed these days? Tired of being looked at like a meth addict when you sign your name and give away half of your personal information to get some simple nasal decongestant? So were these chemists*
A quick search of several neighborhoods of the United States revealed that while pseudoephedrine is difficult to obtain, N-methylamphetamine can be procured at almost any time on short notice and in quantities sufficient for synthesis of useful amounts of the desired material. Moreover,according to government maintained statistics, N-methylmphetamine is becoming an increasingly attractive starting material for pseudoephedrine, as the availability of Nmethylmphetamine has remained high while prices have dropped and purity has increased [2]. We present here a convenient series of transformations using reagents which can be found in most well stocked organic chemistry laboratories to produce psuedoephedrine from N-methylamphetamine.
A journal article worthy of The Onion. Please don't try this. Please.
(* and by "these chemists" I of course mean "people who do not actually exist")
Self-reblog because of Breaking Bad reasons (and because it makes me laugh, always).
A cascade, fifteen or so step, one-pot reaction yielding one freak heterocycle as the main product, with more sulfurs in it than … I dunno what.
Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1997, 36, 281-283. (DOI: 10.1002/anie.199702811)
Listen to this. Hünig's base acts as a reactant and electrophilic sulfurs play the main characters. I love it. This is the crème de la crème of heterocyclic chemistry.
I can't resist the temptation to once again mock retrosynthetic analysis. How many of you upon beeing presented with structure 1, would stand up and say
'Hm… maybe if I treated Hünigs base with sulfur dichloride in the presence of DABCO…'?

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The Gaja Sori Tildin 2010 displays deep purple color in the glass accompanied by complex aromas of toast, minerals, sour cherries, cedar and spices. Displays the roundest tasting profile of all Gaja single-vineyard wines. The rich body, subtle texture and fine, ripe tannins are typical for this wine of great finesse, the quintessential expression of the land and the Nebbiolo grape.
"Wow. Impressive and complex aromas of lilacs, dried strawberries and hints of flower stems. Full body with focused and polished tannins. It draws you to the center palate of the wine and seems to last forever. "
97 Points
James Suckling
"Gaia Gaja uses the word "salty" to describe this next wine, and I see her point. The 2010 Sori Tildin shows a dry, firmly structured quality that enhances those extraordinary, breezy overtones of lead pencil and brimstone that so fittingly frame the Nebbiolo grape. The lingering end-notes of rose petal, ginger and cedar are striking. You immediately feel the tannic structure and power of the wine. The jump is very sharp next to the Costa Russi, and that's why this is one of Gaja's best cellar-agers."
96 Points
The Wine Advocate
"Good full medium red. Subtly complex aromas of redcurrant, strawberry, graphite, mocha and spices. Seriously deep and fine-grained, with dazzling mid-palate minerality energizing the wine's fruit and drawing out the finish. Outstanding balance and vinosity here. The very long finish leaves behind a sexy smoky quality. "
96 Points
International Wine Cellar
"Displaying plenty of cherry, raspberry and floral notes, this is well-structured and balanced, with hints of sweet spices gracing the finish. Very expressive now, showing the potential to age. Juicy and long."
94 Points
Wine Spectator
"Dark berries, rose petals plums, spices, mocha and licorice emerge from the 2010 Sorì Tildìn. The 2010 is a big, rich wine with surprising mid-palate density and power, perhaps just a bit less nuance than in most years. Layers of fruit build to a huge, enveloping finish supported by broad brush strokes of tannin.
Range: 94+ Points"

When a farmer approaches a piece of ground, he has to take it as it is, not as he wishes it to be. It's the same for you and me in our life and creative endeavors.
The land has to be worked. The only thing you'll grow with no effort are weeds and wild things. And you might get a few berries every now and then, but it won't be consistent and you're more likely to end up with ragweed.
If you don't like what the soil is producing, you have till and fertilize. You have flatten hills and remove stones. You have to scare crows.
However, you have to know where you are. You can work as hard as you like at growing pineapples and bananas in Idaho: it's not going to happen. So, it's not all work, but it won't happen with out it.
Approach it as it is. Work. Plant. Harvest.

re: Marius
The only reason I rolled a druid was to be a boomkin. I love it. I don't think it should be a choice as your choice was made when you rolled for a druid and chose balance.
When I rolled druid and went balance, I didn't know about the eclipse system.
It sucks! It sucks hardcore.
I actually face palmed.
The moonkin form, long ago needed to be optional, either by way of glyph, or remove the 10% dmg portion.
Eclipse would be great, if it gave you better control, or rather than flat boosted dmg % modified the spells cast under the state. Have mastery turn to a % modifier on the solar or lunar power gained per spell.
So in solar eclipse.
moonfire turns to sunfire.
Starfire - Solar flare (dd spell that eats the remainder of sunfire + dmg)
Starfall - random aoe entangles + damage
Wrath ball should look more powerful.
ISwarm should slow.
In Lunar
Treants - leave a mana regen pool [moonwell] where they spawn.
Wrath - Vengeance (dd channel that doubles the dmg of moonfire while active then explodes, leaving mini moonfire's on adjacent mobs.
Sunbeam - Moonbeam (same silence effect, grants sight to area (like flare))

GreatSchools Rating

Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am a former student of dysinger. I loved it there. I am now in the 7th grade, just finished there. This school helped me a lot. Your kids will love it there.
I have a set of twins and cant wait for them to start Kindergarden here at Dysinger. I just love this school. I have 2 older children know in high school who also went here. Love the Administrative staff and great teachers.
My son just completed his 7 years and my daughter is in 4th. The teachers are great! We have a new principal to our school and she has yet to learn all the students names. A big disappointment is the closure of the school library due to budget cuts. Very unsatisfactory for our kids. For the past few years our library received new books from parent donations and the Rotary Club.
This is such a neat school. Lots of activities for the kids. Parent involvement is higher than other schools I've seen. Teachers are great! Haven't met one yet that isn't. Lots of opportunities given to the kids. I love this school!
My oldest daughter attends this school. We moved into the district so she could attend this particular school. Mr. Hoss is wonderful. He knows almost everyone by name. He even knew who's mother I was. That impressive.
My kids went here from K-6 and had some memorable experiences here. The administration is great (they seem to know everyone's name, which amazes me). The teachers some wonderful, some not so wonderful. At the time we were there, the lower grade teachers were young and new and not all were fully credentialed because of the 20-1. There was some changes and now both upper and lower seem to be pretty strong and all the teachers are fully credentialed. The only suggestion I would have for a parent bringing their child into this school is 'be involved'. The school has had the same PTA forever, and it would be nice for some new faces to come in with some fresh ideas.

The post office in my town was damaged in Irene and never re-opened.
Records I needed at work were destroyed when the warehouse they were stored in was damaged in Irene.
My mom's name is Irene, and one of my aunts is named Sandy.
Does anyone remember Hurricane Floyd in 1999? I recently came across newspaper clippings I had saved from then. I was at Rutgers, living on campus. Pretty much everything was shut down. People were going down to Route 18 to take photos of how the Raritan River had consumed the highway.
("On the banks of the old Rar-i-tan, my friends…" When I was in the marching band, we would have to stand up on the bus and sing the alma mater whenever we crossed over the river.)
Found in the wall at Fairleigh Dickinson University, one of my alma maters.

Good good.
Hey guys.
Sorry I haven't been around for a LONG time.
A lot has happened in my life lately. A lot of good, and a lot of bad. I won't get into it to spare you a ridiculously long post.
I will however tell you I was offered a new contract and now cannot wait to start the next dancing season.
And I will also tell you that I have been having trouble with my eating. Things ain't so stellar. But there isn't anyone I can really talk about it with. Ahh well.
I'm gonna try posting more again. See if that helps.
I missed you all.
(ALSO 108 notes on that photo of me?! Awesome!)
whoa, you look amazing! Post more ballet pictures! :)
Thank you so much, love. <3 I will! There are two more really nice photos from this same set. I'll post them now. :)
It's been a while since I've posted - I know.
Sorry guys. I got a little caught up in my disordered eating and needed some time to chill out.
Here is a ballet photo to cheer you up.
(I ain't lookin too shabby, eh? ;) )
I know I haven't been on a lot lately - and I apologize for this. Things haven't been moving so smoothly.
This may be triggering to some - read at your own risk.
As some of you know my sister suffers from bulimia. I have been trying to help her through it by being the best sister I can be. We talk about it when we can, and I am honestly trying to help her love herself.
But I know she is lying to me. I have found her stash of old containers and rotting bags of vomit in her room. I'm really scared for her. I don't know how to bring it up without making her worse. She told me she had been getting under control - but I know for a fact that she binged/purged yesterday while I was even home. She's getting worse and it scares me so much.
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this? Those of you who suffer from this - how would you want me to help you?
Please give me as much input as you can, you guys. Reblog this post so I can get responses from ed sufferers that I do not know.
I am so scared and just want to help my poor little sister.
Blah. It was a pretty bad week last week. The stress of the upcoming show just got to me. I made some bad eating decisions. All week. :c
So I did gain a little weight again. But thats okay - I didn't gain much. And today my director told me my bum is shrinking. Yuss!
Soo all in all, all is good.
I'm cutting out all sugar this week - including natural sugar (gasp, no fruit!) and had the most delicious eggs this morning for breakfast. One whole egg, plus one eggwhite scrambled with onions, mushrooms, broccoli, cherry tomatoes and a bit of balsamic vinegar. Om nom nom.
I was so super charged for rehearsal. I wish I could eat eggs more often. Siiiiigh. Those of you who can (and do!) eat eggs every day I am so incredibly jealous of you.
Blah. Maybe tomorrow I'll make breakfast beans. :)
I will possibly post dinner process and photos depending on what I make. yay.
I've missed you all loads!

Congressman McKeon issued a statement regarding recently announced Department of Defense furloughs
Washington- Today, Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee addressed his colleagues on the subject of passing a Continuing Resolution to fund the federal government through fiscal year 2013.
The resolution includes a full year appropriation for the Department of Defense. The Continuing Resolution passed by a vote of 267-151. McKeon's remarks below are as prepared for delivery:
Leon Panetta | Department of Defense | SCVNews.com
To All Department of Defense Personnel:
"Tomorrow morning, Chuck Hagel will be sworn in to succeed me as secretary of defense. It's been the privilege of my life to serve with and lead the men and women of this department, and I am grateful that President Obama selected such an outstanding leader to take my place.
The Department of Defense today officially informed Congress of its intent to impose furloughs on the Department of Defense's entire civilian workforce as it copes with the automatic spending cuts known as "sequestration." The furlough program will go forward if sequestration is not avoided. Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee made the following statement on the furloughs:

Freshman Lauren Luttrell, an outstanding multi-sport athlete who played soccer, volleyball, and football for Spotsylvania High School last year, impressed Beamer and company during Monday's practice.
Her kicking accuracy caught Beamer's eye, so much so, he invited her back to camp in 2012, saying "I was impressed with her and we'll bring her back out there in the spring."
Luttrell is coming off a fantastic high school campaign, kicking 10 extra points and a 31-yard field goal her senior year for the Spotsylvania Knights. Luttrell will have an entire year to improve her kicking skills and possibly compete against sophomore kicker Cody Journell. If all goes well, she should earn a coveted roster spot, as current kickers Tyler Weiss and Justin Myer are both seniors.
Kudos to Lauren for breaking down the gender barrier and showing the football world that a female can play in a man's game.
