Ice Shield Heated Gutter Guards by MasterShield
Heated gutter guards are a great option if you want a four season gutter guard to eliminate the problem of snow melt from an under insulated attic. Heat escapes through your roof and causes ice to form at your roof edge.
Have you experienced icicles hanging off your gutters or old fashioned, solid top gutter guards? After the harsh, arctic cold winter of 2014, you may have discovered the problem occurring where it never happened before.
Do icicles plague your entrances, leaving a sheet of ice under every door? Have you experienced anything like the picture above where ice dams form over your gutters? That's a classic example of where heat loss from your roof causes water to refreeze over your soffit which is much colder than your attic.
If any of these situations is familiar to you, then heated gutter guards should be something you consider for a true four season gutter guard.
Ice Shield Heated Gutter Guards by MasterShield may be the perfect four season gutter guard choice for you! Want to know more? Share a way to contact you and we'll send you a free report on our ice-free, heated gutter guards.
Heated Gutter Guards Keep Ice Dams from Damaging Your Gutters or Roof
How does Ice Shield by MasterShield work?
Ice Shield can be heated with a self regulating heat cable or a constant wattage heat cable. You can heat an area as small as over an entrance way or an entire gutter run. The heat cable prevents ice in your gutters and ice dams while allowing water to flow through gutters that would normally freeze solid with ice.
Imagine the pleasure of walking into your home even on the snowiest of days and not worrying about slipping on an ice covered stoop. Melted snow from your roof will flow freely through your gutters and downspouts. You'll be able to put thoughts of every snowstorm causing damage to your roof edge out of your head. With heated gutter guards, you'll never have to worry about your gutters pulling away from your home, either.
Ice Shield Heated Gutter Guards offers:
- No fundamental changes to our award winning micro mesh gutter guard performance. We don't compromise filtering area just to accommodate a heating cable.
- The highest water receiving area of any heated gutter guards. No summer thunderstorms can overflow a gutter with our heated system, making it a true four season gutter guard.
- A micro mesh gutter guard that will keep out all organic debris, from leaves to shingle grit.
- The ability to adapt our heated features to the needs of your home. Other products can only heat the front lip of the gutter. Heated Ice Shield by MasterShield is completely adaptable to your needs and situation.
Best of all, you'll have all the benefits of unheated MasterShield. Our multi-patented, self cleaning micro mesh technology has been the top performer in independent testing by builders, not just by people who test toaster! We'll still be able to keep out debris smaller than shingle grit. You'll still be able to collect rainwater for your spring and summer gardening. You won't be cleaning out your gutters every spring and fall. Add in the best warranty in the business, and you'll never worry about your gutters again in any season with our heated gutter guards. Contact us today!

Mulatto by Langston Hughes
I, like many, came to Langston Hughes through his poetry. As a kid, the first poem we learned in school by him was "Dream Boogie." What I learned next was either "Harlem" or "Mother to Son." I remember learning about his poetry in music class, in English, in theater, in history. It was not until years later when I learned he, too, was a playwright. I read his short plays about Simple, a simple character, and in college, our small alternative arts group performed the one-act play Limitation of Life, a satire on the movie (and based on the Fannie Hurst novel) Imitations of Life. Later, I came to his nonfiction and his fiction. "On the Road" is my favorite Langston Hughes short story and tops the list of my favorite short stories by anyone.
As a kid, I hated Hughes' voice. I thought he read too fast. I thought his timbre was of his time and outdated. Today, I love hearing him read. I've come to appreciate, in general, poets reading their own work, but I've also realized how much interpretation—of the reading (understanding)—Hughes puts into his work. Below is the transcript of his poem "Mulatto" and Mr. Hughes reading the work.
Mulatto | Langston Hughes
I am your son, white man!
Georgia dusk
And the turpentine woods.
One of the pillars of the temple fell.
You are my son!
Like Hell!
The moon over the turpentine woods.
The Southern night
Full of stars,
Great big yellow stars.
What's a body but a toy?
Juicy bodies
Of nigger wenches
Blue black
Against black fences.
O, you little bastard boy,
What's a body but a toy?
The scent of pine wood stings the soft night air.
What's the body of your mother?
Silver moonlight everywhere.
What's the body of your mother?
Sharp pine scent in the evening air.
A nigger night,
A nigger joy,
A little yellow
Bastard boy.
Naw, you ain't my brother.
Niggers ain't my brother.
Not ever.
Niggers ain't my brother.
The Southern night is full of stars,
Great big yellow stars.
O, sweet as earth,
Dusk dark bodies
Give sweet birth
To little yellow bastard boys.
Git on back there in the night,
You ain't white
The bright stars scatter everywhere.
Pine wood scent in the evening air.
A nigger night,
A nigger joy.
I am your son, white man!
A little yellow

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Roy Hibbert and Luther Head each finished with 21 points, as the Indiana Pacers avoided blowing a large lead to beat the Timberwolves, 122-111.
The Pacers had lost a season-high eight in a row entering Saturday's contest and looked to be in good shape to snap that streak after building a 73-45 halftime lead. Their lead was down to five with just under two minutes to play, but Indiana held on to get its first win since December 16.
"We came out with good energy, didn't have to dig ourselves out of a deep hole," Hibbert said. "We were having fun and playing good basketball."
Brandon Rush added 16 points while Mike Dunleavy scored 15 with eight rebounds in the victory.
Al Jefferson had a game-high 23 points for the Timberwolves, who have lost four in a row. Wayne Ellington and Kevin Love each ended with 16 points in the loss.
"We just didn't come to play tonight," Love said. "We were stuck in the mud."
Despite trailing by 28 at halftime, Minnesota got back into the game with a torrid third quarter. The T'Wolves made 12-of-24 from the field in the frame, as well as 15-of-17 from the free throw line.
Many of those foul shots came in the later stages of the third during a 12-0 run, which Jefferson ended with a jumper to cut Minnesota's deficit to 92-77 with 2:20 to play.
Ramon Sessions then ended the frame with four foul shots and a jumper to get the T'Wolves within 98-85, and they got within single digits past the midway point of the fourth thanks to Ellington.
The rookie scored seven in a row, ending the run with a jumper that got Minnesota within 111-103 with 3:54 to play. Hibbert followed with a hook shot, but Jonny Flynn came back with a three on the next T'Wolves possession.
With 1:50 left, Flynn made two free throws to get Minnesota within 113-108, though after each team missed a shot, Head sank a key jumper. At the other end, Love converted a three-point play with 52.9 on the clock, cutting Indiana's lead to 115-111.
But Earl Watson put an effective end to Minnesota's comeback hopes when, on the ensuing Pacers possession, he sank an underhand layup as he was fouled, then made the free throw. The seven-point deficit was too much for the T'Wolves to make up with 33 seconds left, and they didn't make a shot the rest of the way.
"It just proved that if we had started the game the way we finished it, we would have won easily," Jefferson said. "None of that matters. We still lost."
Indiana held a 32-26 lead after the first quarter, and used a monster second quarter to built its big advantage. The Pacers sank 17-of-28 shots, including five three-pointers, to end with 41 points in the frame.
Dunleavy's three capped a nine-point burst just past the midway point of the quarter, pushing Indiana's lead to 58-32. The Pacers' advantage reached a game-high 29 points several times, including when Solomon Jones hit a jumper with 20.4 left to make it a 73-44 game, though Flynn made 1-of-2 from the line to end the half.

Topic: podcasts
Podcast #70
In this episode of the podcast, Joel and Jeff discuss DevDays, the diversity of Stack Exchange sites, the debut of CVs and careers on Stack Overflow, and the viability of WiFi at tech conferences.
- Stack Exchange is now officially in public beta! There are a huge number of sites running on the Stack Overflow engine. Far more than I expected at this early stage, anyway.
- The Stack Exchange sites are pushing the boundaries of the specific audience (that is, programmers) we designed it for. Consider the audience overlap between answers.onstartups.com, epicadvice.com, and moms4mom.com. I was getting usability reports from my wife on that last one, which was quite surreal. Also surreal: that Jon Skeet is a top user on one of the above. You'll never guess which one!
- Do some of the Stack Exchange sites compete with Stack Overflow? Such as ask.sqlteam.com and snippetgood.com? Not necessarily; if you're particularly enthusiastic about some niche, you'll get more questions and tighter focus of community by going to site dedicated to that topic.
- Joel feels that Stack Exchange works so well as a support forum that he's shutting down all the other online FogBugz web support tools in favor of fogbugz.stackexchange.com.
- What's the minimum number of knowledgable, invested users you need to have a functional online Q&A community? Joel says one (!). I think it's more on the order of a few dozen. The software part is easy, the real hurdle is this: can you rustle together a core community of a few dozen enthusiastic, knowledgable folks?
- An extended discussion of our new careers section of Stack Overflow, which we launched last week. Joel sort of wrote the book on this topic, with Smart and Gets Things Done: Joel Spolsky's Concise Guide to Finding the Best Technical Talent. Our careers approach grows out of Joel (and my) dissatisfaction with the current status quo. It sucks, and we'd like to build something better.
- This is the philosophy behind careers.stackoverflow.com : smart companies should be pursuing good programmers, and not the other way around. We also want to cut out the cheesy for-pay contingency recruiters (or any other middlemen, for that matter) from the mix, and directly connect passionate programmers with companies that understand the value of programmers who hit the high notes.
- This is Fog Creek's guarantee for every service they charge money for: "The Fog Creek Promise: If you're not satisfied, for any reason, within 90 days you get a full refund, period, no questions asked. We don't want your money if you're not amazingly happy." Stack Overflow has adopted this promise as well. Why don't all companies do this? Why would you want to keep an unsatisified customer's money — it generates ill will far out of proportion to the tiny amount of money involved.
- As a part of careers, we're planning to roll out free, public CVs with user-selectable "vanity" URLs in a week or two. In retrospect, we should have done this from day one, as it compliments the public record of your Q&A on Stack Overflow. As Joel notes, the best way to control your online presence is to fill it yourself with all the cool stuff you've been doing! Don't let others tell the story of you when you can tell it yourself.
Our favorite question this week is from Server Fault:
- Why is Internet access and Wi-Fi always so terrible at large tech conferences? Based on Joel's recent DevDays experience, reliable WiFi at tech conferences seems to be rare. Why? How can this be fixed? What does it take?

Podcast #69
Joel and Jeff sit down with Peter Seibel to discuss his new book Coders At Work, the effect of listening to music while coding, and the future of programming books.
- Peter draws on some commonalities in the 15 famous programmers he interviewed for Coders at Work.
- Peter agrees with Joel that concurrent (threaded) programming is some of the hardest programming anyone can do — even the extraordinary programmers he interviewed concur on this point.
- Susan Lammers' book Programmers at Work was the early inspiration for Coders at Work. It's a similarly fantastic read. The other book in the same series, Founders at Work, is a great (albeit less technical) too.
- Many of the programmers interviewed (with the lone exception of Brad Fitzpatrick) got their start before home microcomputers such as the Apple II were even available. But they all spent deep, huge hands-on volumes of time on a computer, somehow.
- One big sea change in the last 30 years of programming: per Jamie Zawinski, "these days, almost all software is social software". The days of the solitary, disconnected programmer toiling away in a server room are essentially over.
- Even a hardcore game programmer like John Carmack (who, sadly, could not be reached for interview in Peter's book) has gone on record with a back to basics approach: "if I were off by myself, I would want to become an iPhone game developer."
- Does listening to music affect your ability to program, positively or negatively? Joel cites one unpublished study, then goes on to mention that he occasionally watches video while programming. Is there any actual, verifiable data on this either way?
- Have we passed through the "golden age" of technical books? Are technical books dead? What niche will books fill for programmers in the future? Joel and I both remember poring over programming manuals in great detail in the early days because there were no other sources.
We answered the following listener question this week:
Stuart: "Do you have any opinions on listening to music while coding? Is this a viable alternative to having a private office?"
Our favorite questions this week:
- Proposal: Free Vote-Based Advertising for Open Source Projects. We'd like to put some of our Stack Overflow remnant ad inventory to work for the community via voting and popular nominations. The goal is to highlight useful and interesting open source projects that programmers might not be aware of.
- What is the single most influential book every programmer should read? Why, Coders at Work of course! This was one of the first popular questions posted on Stack Overflow during the private beta; programmers do love their books.

Podcast #68
Joel and Jeff discuss outsourced DNS, virtual machine "appliances", and programmers as library users versus library writers.
- As a dyed in the wool fan of fake plastic rock, I am required by law to mention that The Beatles: Rock Band was released last week. It's great!
- We changed DNS providers, as our existing registrar's DNS service was highly … irregular.
- Should you pay for outsourced, dedicated DNS? What do you get for that money? What kinds of value can outsourced DNS provide? What clever things can a smart DNS provider do?
- If you need to troubleshoot your DNS, try DNS Stuff.
- DNS is heavily cached throughout the internet, but I think we overestimate how efficient these distributed caches are. For example, Yahoo found that 40-60 percent of their users have an empty browser cache experience. There is value in having a fast, distributed core service for the no-cache scenario.
- A brief discussion of our use of virtual machines in our little server farm. Since the only trouble spot for VM performance is disk, that gives us the flexibility of using a lot of great Linux and open source tools for networking (no or very little disk dependency), such as HAProxy and Cacti.
- Sometimes people should question the premise of your question; as in our Server Fault question about having two default gateways, it turns out that the only sane answer is "don't do that."
- When it comes to Stack Exchange, the broader the topic, and the more unanswerable questions you have, the worse the engine will do for you. The engine is designed for reasonably narrow topics, with a majority of questions that can actually be answered in some reasonable way.
- Joel likens the classic divide in software developers to "library users versus library writers". At what point do programmers cross that chasm? Do they need to? Joel says "we write one algorithm per year."
- How do you deal with the dancing bunnies problem? Also known as the Dancing pigs problem. "Given a choice between dancing pigs and security, users will pick dancing pigs every time."
We answered the following listener questions this week:
- Steve: "The etiquette rules for meta are much looser than on the other Trilogy sites. Does this have ramifications for Stack Exchange sites?"
- Brian: "Technology changes so fast that most developers burn out in 20 years. How do we retain our historical knowledge if the rate of attrition is so high?"
Our favorite questions this week:
- How can I gently explain to non-techie friends they are the victim of a hoax? It is part of the responsibility of a true superuser to tend to those users who can't protect themselves.
- What is the worst real-world macros/pre-processor abuse you've ever come across? The C, she is dangerous!

Podcast #67
In this episode of the Stack Overflow podcast, Joel and Jeff discuss the ethics of Craigslist, the pitfalls of customer-installable software, and caching for anonymous web users.
- If you'd like a Stack Overflow, Server Fault, or Super User sticker, you can now get three! Just send a SASE to Fog Creek software as documented in this blog post. Please don't start a Ponzi scheme with those international reply coupons, though!
- There was a excellent, huge Wired article on the pros and cons of Craigslist, titled Why Craigslist is Such a Mess. I am mentioned in the article, as an example of someone who created an tool to do all-city search that got shut down by Craiglist, which is quite militant about controlling the service.
- Joel feels that what Craig Newmark is doing with Craigslist is a brand of evil, in that it has destroyed the income stream (classified ads) that supported professional journalism. Craigslist was one of the models we studied extensively when building Stack Overflow, even cribbing their flagging mechanism. Joel and I have an extended discussion about the ethics of Cragislist.
- Joel and I disagree about the future of professional journalism; I think the newspaper business model was fundamentally flawed. It is tempting to blame Craigslist for the downfall of newspapers, but if it wasn't Craigslist, someone else would have done the same thing. For a thoughtful discussion of the topic, check out Clay Shirky's article Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable.
- One side effect of Craigslist being free and incredibly popular (more pageviews than eBay and Amazon combined) is that they are breeding the perfect spammer. We looked at Craigslist as an key example of designing for evil. We suspect that over time Craigslist might have to start charging money for most, if not all categories.
- Joel's Stack Exchange playground is biztravel.stackexchange.com, but we need better color schemes. I think we need to have a contest to set some reasonable default color schemes for Stack Exchange customers to choose from.
- One thing Joel has learned from selling Fogbugz: software designed to be installed on a server in-house at a customer's site, under full control of that customer, is almost never worth the hassle. Virtual machines, or the software-as-applicance models, are more sustainible. But most companies won't allow outside vendors to remote into the app to troubleshoot it, either.
- A tremendously important part of designing a large public website is optimizing for anonymous user access, which will be a large proportion of your traffic. At Stack Overflow, even before our public launch in September, we spent a lot of time ensuring that anonymous usage is aggressively and heavily cached.
Our favorite Stack Overflow trilogy questions this week are:
- Countdown app for DevDays. Joel needs a cool app to help start DevDays sessions on time! Here's an opportunity to show off your mad coding skills, and have your software prominently featured at every DevDays venue.
We answered the following listener question on this podcast:
- David Smalley from DocType: "Shouldn't websites optimize heavily for anonymous usage patterns?" Absolutely!

Podcast #66
In this episode of the Stack Overflow podcast, Joel and Jeff discuss reverse proxies, the pitfalls of self-support communities, and designing for engagement.
- It is my intent to attend the London and Cambridge DevDays, if my passport comes back in time. Speaking of which, is there anything funnier than a baby's passport picture?
- We officially disabled the built in ASP.NET Session state, so as to set ourselves up for multiple Stack Overflow servers. Fortunately, we don't need a lot of shared state, but we were using it in a few places. We created a small database table to store the small bits of per-user state that we need.
- I take an inordinate amount of joy in deleting code from our project. Nothing is more satisfying!
- To switch over to multiple servers, we need some kind of load balancer. We chose HAProxy, but we also had to configure tproxy (transparent proxy) support so that the IP addresses arriving at the web servers are not all the same.
- For now we'll be load balancing using a simple hash of the incoming IP address. Depending on which hash you get, you may end up on a different server, but you'll stay on that server as long as your IP address is stable. This is a fairly crude form of balancing, but should be sufficient.
- It's incredible how aggressive Google's indexing of our site is; it regularly pulls down a gigabyte of compressed text from us per day, and it wants to do even more. One of the primary motivators for adding a second server is to reduce the traffic load enough so that we can "unleash" google via webmaster tools.
- A belated welcome to our newest and third site in the trilogy, Super User — it's for any general computer software or hardware questions, but we've already had to disallow videogaming questions.
- How much overlap will there be between our public websites, and the sites launched through the Stack Exchange service? But remember, the software (however great it may be) is the easy part. Building a community is the truly difficult part! To succeed, that's what you should focus on.
- Joel discusses the shifting meaning of "Beta" — it's been contorted into "the first five years of a product". But there is an art to the classic beta, in terms of releasing in a staggered fashion to fresh testers who haven't seen it yet.
- Google's self-support model is often unsatisfying because it is community driven, yet the community is powerless and has no real stake in developing the product. They're given padded rubber rooms to bounce around in harmlessly. That's not a good way to build community.
- Google needs a lot more evangelists out there interacting with the community and bringing messages back and forth to the mothership. This is something that Microsoft does extraordinarily well, but Google does not seem to "get it".
- A brief discussion of some key changes to (hopefully) increase engagement between question asker and answerers. The goal is for answerers to be able to quickly scan a question and see if they're dealing with someone who cares, or not.
- The default votes answer sort order had a flaw: the sub-order was relevant! We now use random as the sub-order to the votes sort, to minimize any effect of the sub-order. Answers will now appear in random order if they have the same number of votes. Answers should be voted up because they're inherently good answers, not because they happen to accidentally be on top at that particular moment.
We answered the following listener questions on this podcast:
- Nathan Long: "Is it valid to discuss iPhone and Blackberry questions on Super User?" This has been discussed on meta.
- Brian Kelly: "Is there any formal organization for potential candidates to meet employers at DevDays?"

In blistering testimony before Congress on Tuesday, Secretary of State John Kerry accused Russian special forces of orchestrating "chaos" in eastern Ukraine this week to set the stage for a possible invasion of the region and bluntly warned that Moscow would be hit with significant new economic sanctions if it chose to launch a strike.
Kerry's comments reflected the Obama administration's growing concern that the unrest raging in the eastern Ukrainian cities of Kharkiv, Luhansk and Donetsk could offer Russian President Vladimir Putin an excuse for an armed incursion. Pro-Russian demonstrators have seized an array of government buildings in recent days and demanded the right to secede from Ukraine, leading Kiev to send troops to retake the compounds. U.S. officials worry that Putin is trying to force Ukraine into a clash with the protesters so Moscow would be able to justify an intervention on humanitarian grounds.
"No one is fooled by what could potentially be a contrived pretext for military intervention just as we saw in Crimea," Kerry said. "These efforts are as ham-handed as they are transparent, and quite simply what we see from Russia is illegal and illegitimate effort to destabilize a sovereign state and create a contrived crisis with paid operatives across an international boundary."
Russia has denied meddling in eastern Ukraine, but Moscow has been steadily ratcheting up its war of words with Ukraine. On Tuesday, Russia's Foreign Ministry warned Kiev's fledgling government that any further use of force in the cities of Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kharkiv could lead to civil war. "We are calling for the immediate cessation of any military preparations," it said in a message on its website.
More tantalizingly, the ministry went on to accuse "American experts from the private military organization Greystone" of working with Ukrainian troops to prepare for a crackdown on the country's pro-Russian residents.
Speaking on background, a State Department official notably did not deny the presence of Greystone personnel in the country. "I'd refer you to that company for any questions on its personnel," said the official. "As for the United States, we do not have any U.S. military units in Ukraine."
Greystone, formerly an affiliate of the notorious private security firm known as Xe Services, broke off as a standalone company in 2010. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Its website advertises protective services and training; aviation maintenance and operations; site security and management; and vulnerability assessments and risk management.
Kerry followed his allegations against Russia with warnings that the U.S. was prepared to impose new sanctions on key sectors of the Russian economy and those "orchestrating" the actions in eastern Ukraine. Sanctions on "energy, banking, mining - they're all on the table," Kerry said. Existing sanctions have targeted Russian individuals involved with Moscow's seizure and annexation of Crimea.
The U.S. hopes to launch multilateral negotiations in the next 10 days involving Washington, Kiev, the European Union and Moscow but no date has been agreed upon. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday he was prepared for the talks, but "we need to understand the format and agenda of this meeting."

Scheduled to air this weekend on the 10th of January will be the Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special – "In 3-D! On Ice!". In the episode will be a Ron English collaboration featuring a variation on Ron English's Homer/Jackson Pollock motif… in 10 seconds. It'll be interesting to see what the results will be when surrealist paintings meets the more commonly super flat style of animated cartoons, in this case The Simpsons.

We all remember a time when we were young and creativity was called an active imagination. The things we practiced as children, are the things we hope to hold on to as adults. Like seeing things for the first time,learning a new trick everyday, and always asking why.
As a graphic designer, part of my purpose is to relentlessly seek out for more. More: ideas, opportunities, information, solutions, inspirations, and forms of communication. My other purpose is to design…and to do it well.
Design & Seek is the inspiration board of a young designer. It's a place where work and play not only meet but become one. It's where I get inspired or inspire others. Here I can share my collection of type, illustration, books, motion/video, and above all, graphic design.

Biodegradable Electronics Can Dissolve In Water And Be Used Inside The Human Body
What the researches call as "transient electronics" could change the paradigm of electronics as most being made today are built to last and these ones are built to do disappear in a controlled manner.
One could use these electronics for simple diagnostic tests and afterwards the material would simply degrade in the body and you could forget about it. Because these electronics are biodegradable, waste from these will virtually be non-existent compared to the vast amount of electronics thrown away these days.
Within these sheets of silicon, there can be embedded transistors, diodes, wireless power coils, temperature and strain sensors, photo-detectors, solar cells and even 64 pixel cameras. Very interesting technology and could potentially be used for pretty much everything you could think of and is still safe to put in the body.
This is similar to the Flexible Electronics story earlier, however those devices are not biodegradable.

Princeton Concludes What Kind of Government America Really Has, and It's Not a Democracy | PolicyMic
The news: A new scientific study from Princeton researchers Martin Gilens and Benjamin I. Page has finally put some science behind the recently popular argument that the United States isn't a democracy any more. And they've found that in fact, America is basically an oligarchy.
An oligarchy is a system where power is effectively wielded by a small number of individuals defined by their status called oligarchs. Members of the oligarchy are the rich, the well connected and the politically powerful, as well as particularly well placed individuals in institutions like banking and finance or the military.
For their study, Gilens and Page compiled data from roughly 1,800 different policy initiatives in the years between 1981 and 2002. They then compared those policy changes with the expressed opinion of the United State public. Comparing the preferences of the average American at the 50th percentile of income to what those Americans at the 90th percentile preferred, as well as the opinions of major lobbying or business groups, the researchers found out that the government followed the directives set forth by the latter two much more often.
It's beyond alarming. As Gilens and Page write, "the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy." In other words, their statistics say your opinion literally does not matter.
That might explain why mandatory background checks on gun sales supported by 83% to 91% of Americans aren't in place, or why Congress has taken no action on greenhouse gas emissions even when such legislation is supported by the vast majority of citizens.
This problem has been steadily escalating for four decades. While there are some limitations to their data set, economists Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez constructed income statistics based on IRS data that go back to 1913. They found that the gap between the ultra-wealthy and the rest of us is much bigger than you would think…

"More African American men are in prison or jail, on probation or parole than were enslaved in 1850, before the Civil War began."
(Source: america-wakiewakie)
There are 10 times more mentally ill Americans in prisons and jails than in state psychiatric hospitals, a report published Tuesday found — adding that those individuals' conditions often deteriorate while they are incarcerated.
The report, "The Treatment of Persons With Mental Illness in Prisons and Jails," called for reform of laws and practices focused on the treatment of mental illness. It also encouraged cost studies to compare the true cost of housing individuals in prisons or jails as opposed to treating them in the community.

Paul Pope's Psychenaut (w/ a Corto Maltese ramp up drawing for photoset design purposes)
Psychenaut is a work in progress that will most likely end up published in french by Dargaud. Psychenaut has been described by Pope as a reaction to the works of cartoonists like Winsor McCay and Rick Veitch whose work deals with dreams using the "repetitive imagery in [Pope's] dreams." Essentially, if Pope dreams about hanging out with Corto Maltese, he can use comics to make sense of it, or he could just use comics to document it. Psychenaut is Pope's "for myself" project that will be finished when it's finished.

Checking In: 21c Museum Hotel Cincinnati
If you were in search of one of the top-rated hotels in the United States, you probably wouldn't think to look for it in Ohio. Nevertheless, 21c Museum Hotel Cincinnati was recently named the second best hotel in the country by readers of Conde Nast Traveler. (Last year it was ranked #1.) So, what makes this hotel so special that it beat out much-hyped properties in bigger destination cities like Los Angeles and New York?
Amazing Art Museum Hotels Around the World
Lots of hotels have impressive art collections, but these ones go a step further and function as stand-alone museums as well as accommodations.
Benesse House, Japan
The Tadao Ando-designed Benesse House is located on the tiny Japanese island of Naoshima, a fishing community turned "art island" that hosts the Setouchi Art Triennal and is home to several permanent art installations and excellent museums. Guests of the Benesse House are granted access to the museum even after typical hours and have exclusive access to a six-seat monorail that runs up to the hotel's Oval annex. Guest rooms in the museum are available in four styles and are decorated with drawings, paintings, and prints from the artists on exhibit. Rates start at $330.

3 Hotels With Eye-Popping (Free) Art
A century ago, hotels were simply places to sleep during your travels. Maybe there was a fancy bar in the lobby, or a nice pool. These days, an increased focus on younger travelers seeking unique cultural experiences means hotel public spaces are doubling as live music venues, social media nerve centers, and, in some cases, contemporary art galleries. The following properties give you extra bang for your buck by including some free visual stimulus built into the cost of your stay: Read more

Tampa & Charlotte Join Ranks of National Convention Host Cities
The Republican National Convention is under way in Tampa, Florida (with a watchful eye on Hurricane Isaac). Next week, Democrats will descend on Charlotte, North Carolina for their quadrennial festivities. When it's all over, the two host cities will join a fairly short list of places that have welcomed the two major political parties. We decided to take a look at that list and see which cities have hosted the most national conventions, what presidential history has been left behind, and what kinds of attractions continue to make those destinations such fantastic vacation spots.
There are some surprises in our Top 10 National Conventional Host Cities. Denver hosted its only two conventions 100 years apart. Cincinnati had its number called to host the parties three different times (granted, all between 1856 and 1880). The Democrats didn't hold a convention in the South after the Civil War until 1928′s affair in Houston.
Which city has hosted the most conventions? Which president was the "second-most hated man in Miami" (according to those in Little Havana)? And what can you do now in all of those cities to enjoy a great vacation? All of the answers are waiting for you here.
From Flying Pigs to Stadium Finishes, Take Your Pick from Fun Spring Races
Spring is officially upon us, and although there's still time to squeeze in some skiing, the running trails are starting to beckon, too. Lace up the sneaks and get back into form with these spring races in happening cities. Bring a buddy and make a weekend out of it, before temperatures soar and summer travel season kicks into high gear. Here are three winning options:
The City: Cincinnati
The Race: The Flying Pig, May 2
Pardon the pig metaphors, but you're sure to squeal with delight over this race, which offers 5K, 10K and full marathon distances. Cincinnati goes hog wild for the event, with volunteers – called grunts – at every few feet of the course, which features panoramic views of the city. (And if that's not enough motivation, there are 50 entertainment acts.) At the "finish swine" a mascot greets runners, all of whom get a double-sided flying pig medal.
Training Tip: Not quite brave enough to do a practice run with pig ears? Purchase other pig paraphernalia at the Flying Pig Store.
Travel Tip: The race website offers several online-only discounts until April 2.
Top-Honored Kentucky Art Hotel Plans Cincinnati Twin
Kentucky's hippest hotel, just voted by Conde Nast Traveler's readership as #1 in the country (and #6 in the world) for 2009, announced plans Wednesday to debut a new sister property just upriver in Cincinnati, Ohio. The 21c Museum Hotel, an upscale boutique which opened on downtown Louisville's Main Street in 2006, has played a key role in revitalizing Derby City's art scene. The renovated 19th-century tobacco & bourbon warehouse has drawn national acclaim for its high-style halls packed to the brim with whimsical paintings, abstract video art, photos and sculptures (like the lobby's army of red penguin statues) – all from this millennium. The hotel's 90 rooms feature custom touches, from furniture to pewter mint julep cups. Popular restaurant Proof on Main has become renowned for its modern twists on locally grown, regional cuisine (ahem, gourmet Bison burgers). Read more

Nance was this year's training camp hero but it wasn't enough for him to crack the roster at wide receiver. The Vikings still have a lot of cuts to make before they get down to the minimum of 53 which they must reach by 5 pm tomorrow. They're allowed to keep 8 practice squad players as well.

Hi all, Im looking for a bit of help. My son, as part of his design and technology project for college, has decided to build a recurve archery riser. It will be a CNC machined riser, hopefully with IL fittings, but what he needs is a basic idea on what goes on behind the design of a riser, what criteria it needs to match, any FITA regs on riser design etc, so if anybody out there has a link/document on any useful information he and I would be very grateful. Thanks.
ps he is not planning on going into business, just wants to get a good mark :-)
I reject your reality and substitute my own

ADE, it sounds like a great project.
Perhaps I can help a little with some of the simpler stuff.Perhaps you know this already, but just in case.
Length= the standard sizes will, with different length limbs, produce bows of the usual range in total length. I would guess that a non standard riser might be difficult to sell.
Exit angle= the angle that the limbs lean back( away from straight up/down)
If unusual angles are used, the bow may be too lightly/heavily stressed when strung.
Overall shape, side view.= the shapes are straight, reflex, deflex.
straight speaks for itself.
Reflex has the limb pockets further from the string line than the grip.
Deflex has the pockets closer to the string line than the grip.
( there are more precise descriptions than that, but I think you can see the idea)
Overall shape ,front view= the sight window is the cut away that allows the arrow to be fitted to the rest so it could point straight ahead and still have clearance for fletchings.Window length needs to take into account the sight movements up/down when used with a range of limb stiffnesses. If the windown is too short, some higher powered bows will shoot arrows too high at shorter distances.( sight window is on the other side for left handed use.)
Grip position= some makers put the throat at the centre so the hand is half way along the length of the bow. Some put the arrow rest/button hole at the centre.I don't think anyone makes risers outside those two limits, but I'm not sure.
Grip= some are part of the metal of the riser; some have machining that allows different grips to be fitted easily, chance here for the archer to select their preference.
Threaded holes for attachments= nearly always one below the grip to fit a long rod.Some have hols facing the archer for back weights. Usually 5/16" unf. Similar for button and sight, threads vary for sights.
Balance needs consideration. Target archery risers will be balanced with the limbs and all the toys on. Risers with a good barebow lean will be better balanced without the toys, and probably have an option for putting in proprietory weights.
e.g. Hoyt v. Spigarelli
Overall appearance, being pleasing on the eye, may well affect sales.
Barebow Recurve
I have found a good stress package (software) is a must at the initial design stage - assuming a 3D application is being used, otherwise many trials (and errors) will be the result.
What might look like a workable design will fail at the first hurdle when put under load (unbalanced, uneven, twisting, warping etc).
My thoughts after many design trials are available in this forum if you wish, but I am sure your son will have his own ideas.
AMO standard can be dowloaded from here.
I think therefore I miss
Wow - I think this might be a little ambitious.
Don't take this wrong, I think this is a great idea but I think the resources required (mostly time and materials) may be prohibitive.
I guess you could just copy an existing riser. Probably the easiest would be the Stylist range which were/are very simple (but very effective) - not ILF though. It depends I guess whether you want to end up with a bow that can be shot.
(I suspect the college marking system will not require this)
If it were me, I would go for a sight - though they look very complicated they are in fact much simpler to design and most importantly to engineer.
(I made a couple at uni, not CNC, just lathe, milling machine, hand and eye)
Good luck!!
Ade you should have thought about a Dan making a sight before... would have saved you buying the SF one.
thanks for everyones imput and to those who have offered help, i'm sure my son Dan will be in touch.
I reject your reality and substitute my own
With todays technology and a decent machinine centre (peferably a 5 axis machine) this task is not to difficult, as one person has previously stated a good cad programme is a must.
A font of all knowledge is also required, try Keith Gasgonge at KG Archery. Keith has been a bowyer for nearly 50 years and I have always found him very helpful and informative when it comes to the dark art of riser design.
Best of luck with the design
Well!! A blind man would be pleased to see it!
Make sure not to design the riser so it is "over stressed" as this could lead to cracks and potential injury, making sure that the geometry is good is also important, as even 1mm or less of difference between the two limb pockets could be disastrous.This is pretty much common sense, but I'm just trying to help.

Nursing Home Hit With $3.3 Million Negligence Verdict
Posted By Lisa McElroy On June 11, 2014 @ 10:06 am In Legal Grounds | No Comments
Every now and then, a jury reaches deep into a defendant's pockets to punish it for its reprehensible conduct and to deter others from engaging in similar acts.
[1]Such was the case in May, when a Colorado jury awarded 83-year-old James Sharon and his family $3.3 million after finding the nursing home entrusted with his care guilty of negligence.
Sharon's injuries included bedsores, skin tears and abrasions, dehydration, malnutrition, and E. coli and urinary tract infections – all because he did not receive adequate attention.
>> Share tips for caregiving with others like you [2]
Brent Moss [3], the Denver attorney who represented Sharon and his family, says it was pretty apparent to the jury that the nursing home had no good defense. "They argued that he was still living there, so he must be OK," Moss says. "But their expert admitted that his nursing home caretakers had deviated from the standard of care in all kinds of ways."
The jury's award included $300,000 for pain and suffering, the maximum allowed under Colorado law. The additional $3 million? That was the jury's way of punishing Belmont Lodge Health Care Center in Pueblo and its Atlanta-based parent corporation – and sending a big message to other operators of nursing homes.
Judging from some other punitive damage awards in the huge-to-astronomical range, juries seem to see negligence on the part of nursing homes as especially egregious.
In 2011, for example, a jury in West Virginia, finding that a nursing home in Charleston was responsible for the death of an 87-year-old resident with dementia and other age-related conditions, awarded her family $91.5 million, including $80 million in punitive damages. The case is now before the West Virginia Supreme Court.
Juries in other states have returned even larger verdicts – in one case awarding $1 billion in punitive damages - in negligence suits against nursing home operators.

"It is astonishing that some nursing facilities victimize the residents who depend on them for care," says Kelly Bagby, a senior attorney at the AARP Litigation Foundation. "That's why it is so essential that victims and their families are able to secure access to courts and legal counsel."

excuse me? You're attempt at insults are pointed wrongly.
I've read the legal brief on his case, the UK documents on his case too,
he's ADMITTED guilt. In my book that's enough to call him a criminal, he
should be arrested and tried in a court of law to determine if that is a
fact or not. It's up to his accusers to prove his guilt. He is not
actually guilty until he is found to be guilty in the court of law. If they
cannot prove he is guilty, he must walk a free man. Not to difficult to
prove guilt when the accuser admits to what he's done....
He is completely innocent until found guilty... at least in the US, UK,
and even Australia that is the way things are. Lets see what the Chinese
would do to him if he did the same thing over then than over here.
oh, to answer your question, YES, I'm an American, and proud of it....
