Footnotes in the Digital Age
Last week Tim Parks posted in the New York Review of Books Blog on the need, or rather lack thereof, for formal reference citations in scholarly literature. Parks contends that with the advent of the internet and databases like Project Gutenberg, there is no longer a need for footnotes that give the source of information. Everything is simply a few key or mouse clicks away, and it's easier for all concerned just to Google something rather than follow a footnoted reference.
Parks couldn't be more wrong, and his argument betrays the biases in his work. His scholarly work is focused on contemporary literature and on translation. While it may, in many cases, be easier for him to Google something than look for a footnote, that is not necessarily the case in other fields.Read the rest of the article...
ASL Poetry
Gretchen McCulloch has a nice post on how to rhyme in sign language over at Slate's Lexicon Valley blog. Of particular note is this video:
More generally, this falls under the category of "how to translate poetry." Whether the target language is spoken or signed, the same basic issue arises: How do you translate verse while remaining true to the source?
The Problem of Defining Genocide
Stéphanie Giry has an article in the New York Review of Books, The Genocide That Wasn't, discussing the application of the term genocide to the case of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Giry outlines the problem that occurs when the generally accepted definition of a term clashes with the legal one and points out that genocide has become the ultimate crime in the eyes of the world public.
In this case, the Cambodian people, and most others around the world, consider what the Khmer Rouge did to the Cambodian people as genocide. But because the actions of the Khmer Rouge were not directed against an ethnic or national minority, the crime doesn't fit the legal definition of genocide. Instead, the Khmer Rouge leaders have been convicted of crimes against humanity, which is perceived as a lesser crime. (Even though the penalty is the same, life in prison.)
Analogous cases where popular definitions of terms conflict with technical ones are common, but the moral stakes here make this case a special one.
A New Scrabble Champion
One may wonder at the detail and effort that fivethirtyeight.com put into this article on the national Scrabble championship, but really it's no more silly than the amount of analysis that goes into football (soccer or the other one), baseball, or hockey.
Rethinking the Prescriptivist-Descriptivist Dyad
I've just had an article published in English Today, "Rethinking the Prescriptivist-Descriptivist Dyad: Motives and Methods in Two Eighteenth-Century Grammars," that may be of interest.
Grammars and other works about language are traditionally described along an axis that runs from prescriptivism to descriptivism, but I contend that these two poles are not positioned along the same continuum. Rather, prescriptivism is a measure of intent, while descriptivism is a measure of methodology.
In the this paper I propose that a two-axis system that evaluates both motivation and methodology is better suited to describing grammatical approaches. Along one axis the motivation is categorized by the degree the grammar espouses normative principles and seeks to instruct, rather than describe. Along the second axis the methodology is categorized by the degree the grammar's pronouncements are based on either observations of actual usage or aspirational appeals to an idealized form. The paper examines the work of two late-eighteenth century grammarians, Lowth and Priestley, as test cases to see if this two-axis system can better capture the differences in these grammars.
Through this analysis it can be seen that, counter to common perception, Lowth is somewhat more observational than Priestley's first edition, although Priestley takes a significantly more observational stance in his second edition. Furthermore, Lowth's grammars, while generally observational, vary the methodology depending on the linguistic feature under examination, taking a strongly aspirational stance on at least one point of grammar.
This separation of motivation and methodology has wider application and can be used to resolve some of the issues in the current prescriptive-descriptive debate, as many modern grammars and dictionaries are used normatively, even if the methodology used to produce them is observational.
The article is available from Cambridge Journals Online.

Woah! This is some rich hot chocolate. I made it with 4 oz of chocolate and it was still too sweet. I loved the texture though - nice and thick and creamy. Next time I'll try less chocolate (2 1/2 - 3 oz) and see how that is.flag if inappropriate
Made half a recipe and it was more than enough for two. Very rich.flag if inappropriate

Bodie Island LIghthouse
If you're going down to see the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, you should stop and see the Bodie (pronounced Body) Island Light as well. It's less crowded but you can't climb it. There's a nice trail and raised walkway where you might see some alligators and definitely birds like egrets. There is a visitor center here that's open pretty much every day with a good bookstore.
Here are some facts about it: Height: 156 feet
Height of Stripes: 22 feet
Stairs: 214
Light Pattern: 2.5 seconds on, 2.5 off,
2.5 on, 22.5 off
Beam Range: 19 miles
Ownership: transferred from US Coast Guard to the National Park Service in 2000

Touristy, but still impressive
The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is pretty famous. If not for the fact it's the tallest lighthouse in the US, then because of its recent "relocation"
I remember going down to see this lighthouse when I was younger when it always was under construction and leaning at an uncomfortable angle toward the ocean. They tried to stabliize the lighthouse, but it was obvious that nothing was working--the barrier island was migrating westward and the lighthouse was in trouble. This brings up an interesting point. Barrier Islands are made to shift and protect the inland areas. They aren't meant to be built on--you have to expect to lose things (like structures) when the island or chain of islands is doing its job--I'm very passionate about and fascinated by barrier island systems!
ANYWAY, so, the decision was made to move the lighthouse while maintaining the original floating foundation...it was pulled 1/2 mile back onto land and this whole process caused SO much controversy. Now, it's reopened, you can tour it starting Apr. 9th of this year and while it's a hot walk up, it's really an impressive view!
- National/State Park
Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge
This place is right along Rt. 12 between Hatteras Island and Nags Head but it doesn't seem to get that crowded. Perhaps that's because it's not an overly developed tourist trap.
They have trails, programs, opportunities to take small boats out, a visitor center...it's very nice.
There are "365 species of birds, 24 species of reptiles, 25 species of mammals..." just to get you started and intrigued (from the FWS website)

Wright Brothers National Monument
Cape Hatteras, Fort Raleigh and the Wright Brothers National Memorial are the 3 National Park Sites on the Outer Banks.The Wright Bros. has an entrance fee of $3 which is good for a few days, maybe a week (? I am not TOO sure of the length of time) The Rangers are knowledgeable and the programs are interesting.
They give a walk taking you to the hangar where Orville and Wilbur designed their plane, take you through the timeline of the problems they encountered along the way and show you how long the first, second and third attempts were.
Keep in mind, because this is a barrier island, the monument is not where the flight took place. When there was talk of establishing a monunment, they went back to look at the area and it had changed drastically.
Be prepared to get involved in some of the programs--having given lots of them through the Park Service myself, i know it's usually a key component.
They usually run no more than 45 minutes.

Climb the lighthouse
Jim and I and our friends climbed the lighthouse. I did not know it at the time, but my great grandfather also climbed this lighthouse back in 1908. My mother has a post card that he sent my great grandmother. I never knew my grandfather as he died soon after Deb was born, but from his photos he didn't seem like the lighthouse climbing type - maybe he looked different in 1908.
The lighthouse has 257 steps to the balcony level, so it was good that most of us were young and in good shape. The NPS website says:
Climbing tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for senior citizens (62 or older), children (11 and under, and at least 42" tall), and the disabled. Tickets are available on a first come, first served basis and can only be purchased in-person at the site the day of the climb. There are no advance ticket sales for regular climbs.
Ticket sales begin at 8:15 am and climbs begin at 9 am, running every 10 minutes with a limit of 30 visitors per climb. Ticket sales close at 4:30 pm in the spring and fall, and 5:30 pm the Friday of Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Ticket holders should arrive at the base of the lighthouse five minutes prior to their ticketed climb time.
Running, jumping, or stomping on stairs and landings is prohibited.
Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew tobacco.
No pets, other than service animals.
Do not arrive in heels over 1 ½ inches high or with bare feet.
Leave umbrellas, backpacks, tripods, coolers, beach bags, surfboards, fishing poles, and the like need to be left in your car.
Throwing of any object off the lighthouse is unsafe and may get you in big trouble! Either lighthouse may close at any time if weather conditions are unsafe.
I do not see why there is a need for disabled tickets. Why climb it if you are blind? You can't see anything.

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
The black and white spiral makes Cape Hatteras one of the most recognizable lighthouses in the US, and the 208 feet height makes it also the tallest in the United States. The light can be seen for 20 miles, warning ships of Diamond Shoals (the graveyard of the Atlantic) which is a twelve-mile (12) long sandbar just offshore.
Diamond Shoals is the meeting place of two great ocean currents: the cold Labrador and the warm Northbound Gulf Stream. Where they collide, it creates fog and ever changing sandbars just beneath the water surface.
The present lighthouse was built like the light at Cape Lookout and had a first-order Fresnel lens to magnify a small oil wick flame. It was replaced by a rotating beacon--a double affair with 1000-watt lamps in each beacon. Today, the beacon is automated, but at the time it was built, the keeper had to wind weights suspended by heavy cables in order to rotate the thousand-prism lens. In good visibility, it can be seen 51 miles at sea and 115 miles in the air.
The octagonal base of brick and granite, measures twenty-four (24) feet by fourty-five (45) feet six inches. The black and white barber-pole paint, or "candystriping" was added in 1873 to make the lighthouse more distinctive during the day. There is another similarly painted lighthouse in Florida ( St. Augustine), but I guess they figured that if you didn't even know whether you were in NC or FL, you were in such sorry shape that there wasn't much hope for you..
As early as the 1920s, erosion became a major problem to the new lighthouse. In the summer of 1999, the lighthouse was moved 2899.57 feet from its original location
The "Double Keeper's Quarters" is used to house the "Museum of the Sea" and the Buxton Visitor Center.
Opening for Climbing:
Good Friday to Columbus Day (weather permitting)
Lighthouse Fees:
$6.00/Climb Adults - Day
$3.00/Climb Child (12 and under) - Day
$3.00/Climb 62 and older - Day

Hatteras to Ocracoke Ferry
This is a nice enjoyable 40 minute ride through the Atlantic to the island of Ocracoke. Park your car and get out and move freely around on the ferry. This is a lot of fun and its free! If you take a sightseeing cruise it costs around $20 per person, so why not do this for free!
On the way to Ocracoke we had a bit of a wait, had to wait approx an hour to board the ferry. On the way back we were able to get on immediatly. The ferry runs until midnight. This was one of our highlights of the trip! :)

Franklin, TN (PRWEB) May 30, 2013
It is important to be able to differentiate between intra-articular (pathologies such as femoroacetabular impingement [FAI], acetabular labral tears, and chondral damage) and extra-articular pathologies (such as: snapping hip, greater trochanteric bursitis and hip flexor pathologies). This physical therapy online continuing education cours will instruct the therapist how to perform a comprehensive clinical evaluation develop systematic treatment plans including the latest evidence-based interventions. Current concepts of how the hip region may also play a role in other lower extremity injuries, such as patellofemoral pain syndrome and iliotibial band syndrome are also discussed. Michael P. Reiman , PT, DPT, OCS, SCS, ATC, FAAOMPT, CSCS narrates this online physical therapy continuing education course.
This PT online CEU course provides detailed description of hip physical examination testing, including how to rule out other the lumbar spine and SI joint/pelvic girdle as potential pain generators. The online continuing education course for PT and PTA's and supplemental written material provide the clinician with great detail on how to perform examination of the hip joint, the tests to implement, what patients they should be performed on, what entails a positive (or negative test), and the diagnostic accuracy of such tests. Another great feature of this online physical therapy continuing education course and written material is the interventions shown and described. The clinician can clearly see how to perform manual therapy, stretching, and strengthening techniques as they apply to the hip pain pat

Master Boot Record (better known as MBR) is a special type of boot sector located at the beginning of a hard disk and it stores details regarding the organization of partitions (where the file systems are located). MBRFix is a dedicated application that can help expert users perform various MBR tasks, including creating a backup for it.
It needs to be specified from the get-go that this tool should only be operated by experts as rookies might inflict too much damage to their computer to be fixed afterwards.
Furthermore, the app does not comes with a graphical user interface and its functions can only be accessed via command-line. Administrator privileges are also required in order to run MBRFix.
The application can be used to perform a wide range of actions, and some of them refer only to getting information about one's hard disk, the partitions or the drive size in MB. Depending on the commands they type, users can save or restore MBR and partitions data to file, as well as delete all detected partitions.
In addition, MBRFix can be used to generate disk signature in MBR, to read or to write it, according to users' needs.
Among the other partition actions that are supported, one could mention viewing the active partition, getting or setting its type, along with setting the current one as the active partition or listing the partition types.
Experienced users can also rely on MBRFix to flush files to disk for a certain partition or for extracting volume information about a user-specified partition.
To sum it up, MBRFix might not come with an appealing interface or intuitive menus, but this is probably meant to specifically discourage novices from using it - experts can surely appreciate its functions when it comes to changing partition types or save MBR data to a file.

Karen Fisher - District E"I've lived in this community for 24 years. I come across a lot of different people, and it's a perfect fit." -- CCSD Board Member Karen Fisher
Karen Fisher was prepared for the sizable work load that comes with being a Cherry Creek School District Board of Education member. Unlike many of her peers on the board, Fisher didn't have to adjust to the hours upon hours of research, school visits and other work involved in the post. By the time Fisher was elected to the Cherry Creek board in 2013, she'd served in volunteer roles at Belleview Elementary, Campus Middle School and Cherry Creek High School. She'd worked on accountability committees, served on the Community Asset Project Board, helped organize the first Family Wellness Summits and worked extensively with the district's Parents Council. - Read more
Claudine McDonald - District B"We get to hand over diploma covers, shake the students' hands, give them a hug and say, 'Congratulations, you did it,'" she said. "That's what we're working for." -- CCSD Board Member Claudine McDonald
Claudine McDonald was satisfied with her role as an active parent in the Cherry Creek School District. With her two children enrolled in schools in the Overland High feeder area, McDonald was a dependable presence at fundraisers and other school events. She balanced the demands of her day job at an Aurora healthcare company with her constant work in the district, and McDonald saw the volunteerism as the natural duty of an engaged parent. She never thought of taking that work a step further by running for a seat on the district's Board of Education. - Read more
Jim O'Brien - District A"As a parent, it's great when all of the kids in the neighborhood walk to school. My son who has been out of college for four years is still best friends with the people he grew up with in our neighborhood." -- CCSD Board Member Jim O'Brien,
Jim O'Brien had built up plenty of experience with the Cherry Creek School District when he came on as a school board member nearly eight years ago. Both of his children had attended Homestead Elementary, West Middle School and Cherry Creek High School. He'd played the dutiful part of engaged parent, logging untold hours as a volunteer during games, fundraising events and other school functions. O'Brien also attended meetings of the District Accountability Committee and, in the process, picked up important background about the inner workings of the district's budget. - Read more
Randy Perlis -District D"Our focus is on the kids. That's what we think about when we make any decision." -- CCSD Board Member Randy Perlis
Randy Perlis approaches his role on the Cherry Creek School District Board of Education with the calculated and careful rationale of a scientist. That's really no wonder. Before joining the board in 2009, Perlis spent more than 20 years building a résumé as a professional chemist. After receiving his master's degree from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1980, Perlis traveled everywhere from Brazil to Denver working as a scientist. He teaches chemistry to first responders and emergency personnel and he investigates potentially dangerous environmental damage. - Read more
Dave Willman - District C
"Even when you disagree, you always move forward. That's the biggest thing. It's doing the right thing and acting with ethics." -- CCSD Board Member David Willman
Dave Willman showed up at the principal's office of Cimarron Elementary before he had any official stake in the school. His daughter was still too young to be enrolled in first grade at the time, but Willman had already tabbed Cimarron as her future school. In fact, Willman and his wife had moved to their Aurora home with the Cherry Creek School District in mind. They wanted their two daughters to be in the district from their first classes to their high school graduation. - Read more

Colin Saxton, FUM's general secretary, visited Kenya in late November and was able to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with my family and me. During that visit, he asked me to take on a special short-term assignment helping Friends Theological College reorganize its accounting system. With the dawn of the need to raise funds for scholarships and operating costs, the college has ventured in the last few years into the world of micro-enterprise and agro-business. In doing so, it has become increasingly clear that the financial systems needed to be updated.
The week between Christmas and New Year's was spent in helping our son Isaiah write his applications for his next school. He's completing his IGCSE (commonly called O-Level) in June 2013, and has decided that he would like to spend two more years in high school before proceeding to college. Therefore, he's applying to a selection of boarding schools in the US and one international program. The 24/7 community life of a boarding school seems to be an exciting prospect for Isaiah. After eight years in a tiny school, the idea of having peers around him all the time is positively exhilarating! His parents, though, are not as excited, as they face the joyous and terrifying milestone of their first child leaving home. We are excited about this next stage of his life, yet it is poignant to be facing the "launch" of our firstborn.

Sounds to me like the bios wan't set to load the evox dash and it either skipping it or just loading the ms dash instead. If this is the case, you need to configure the bios properly before putting it on the hard drive again.

Katy Perry is once again living a teenage dream with John Mayer.
The recently divorced "Wide Awake" singer, 28, got super flirty with her on-again musician beau, 35, during a recent night out in Hollywood. Hitting up Saint Felix on Nov. 10 to celebrate the birthdays of Hello Giggles blogger Sophia Rossi and New Girl co-creator Liz Meriwether, the tight twosome looked "so affectionate," a source told Us Weekly.John had his hand on Katy's back a lot, and they were kissing and holding hands," the party-goer said, adding that it looked like the pair were "full-on dating."
Also at the bash were fellow A-listers Jon Hamm, Mindy Kaling, Nicole Richie, Shannon Woodward, and Per...

Catching Up with the Fart Party's Julia Wertz
Cartoonist Julia Wertz's Fart Party vol. 1, which had been out of print for more than a year, is once again available. It's a good excuse to catch up with one of our favorite creators, with whom we hadn't spoken for quite a while. If you aren't yet acquainted with her comics, check out fartparty.org, which not only has a bunch of fantastic content, it has info on how to purchase her other books, including Drinking at the Movies, which published last summer and has been very well received.
We caught up with Wertz right after she finished a West coast trip where she participated in a few readings, peddled some comics, and took some cool pics of abandoned stuff on Highway 101.
Osmosis Online: Are you self-publishing at all these days, aside from the Web site?
Julia Wertz: Not at the moment. I might do another mini comic next year, but I haven't had the time in a while. I'm sitting on a short book about my college years that I'm considering self-publishing next year just to get it out there and out of my life.
OO: It's interesting that you say "get the college story out of your life" — is there something you think will be cathartic about publishing it? Or is it more a matter of not letting time you put into something go to waste?
Wertz: Oh, nothing that intricate, I just want to put the material out there because I have it. There's not much to those comics, just some dumb jokes and funny stories. I don't see them as part of my whole "story" so I just want put them out there for shits. I'll probably end up just putting it all online for free though.
OO: How's it been transitioning from doing it all yourself versus being published by Three Rivers/Atomic Books?
Wertz: It's sooo much easier. I was really awful at getting minis printed and filling orders in a timely fashion. I like that I don't have to bother with any of that except for when I sell books on my website. I'm also terrible at PR stuff so they take care of most of that. At least Internet-wise. I still plan/book all my own touring and convention stuff.
OO: That's awesome that "Fart Party vol 1″ has an intro by Peter Bagge. Is that the kind of thing you pursue, or the publisher, or was there some other way it came about?
Wertz: I'd sent Peter some comics and he really liked them so I asked him to write the intro for the collection, it was all very casual. For Vol 2, Nicholas Gurewitch wrote the intro, which he offered to do after we met at SPX a few years ago. I'm a huge fan of Perry Bible Fellowship, so suffice to say I'm pretty pleased with both intros. Intros are something the author pursues, not the publisher. Or at least it's been in my case.
OO: If I recall correctly, you made the move to New York about four years ago from the Bay Area?How are the comics scenes different in your view? Any real advantage/disadvantage to either? Do you feel like a part of a particular "comics community" (is there such a thing?)
Wertz: There are pretty solid comic scenes in both places, but the Brooklyn cartoonists seem to hang out a lot more often. And there are more events to attend in NY. The biggest bonus for being part of the NY comics community is sharing a studio in Greenpoint with four other lovely lady cartoonists. I share the space with Sarah Glidden, Domitille Collardy, Karen Sneider, and our latest addition, Kate Beaton. It's easier to get more work done when people are around and I can't fuck around on the Internet as much.
OO: I read Greg Baldino's take on "Drinking at the Movies" over at Bleeding Cool and I love how he referred to you as "the Dorothy Parker of mini-comics." Is it simply a reference to wit, or do you and a bunch of other cartoonists hang out making quips at the Algonquin Round Table?
Wertz: The latter, of course! Actually I think at our studio we mostly sit around making boner jokes and quips about farts. Not quite as sophisticated…
OO: So, Cathy (that long-running comic strip) came to a close. Does the absence of a long-running, super-successful women-centered strip mean that there's a specific void to be filled? Should it be? Is this the kind of thing a cartoonist like yourself would try to move on, or is the newspaper format (not to mention handcuffing of certain sensibilities) too unappealing? Should we be striving for post-gender comics?
Wertz: Newspaper comics and the type of comics I, and others in my arena, do are vastly different and don't really have a lot, if any, cross over. I suppose a few folks do (Keith Knight for example) but frankly I don't think the two are comparable. As for syndicated female cartoonists, I think it's less of a matter of sexism as women just not being as interested in doing those types of comics. If you look into the indie comics world, it's lousy with successful women cartoonists! But I also agree that we should strive towards post-gender comics. We're all just people making comics, who fucking cares if we're men or women? If a comic is too girlie for you, just don't read it. I don't read superhero comics, so I don't sit around lamenting how it's a male-centric community. I just don't care.
OO: I've been writing about entrepreneurs lately for a local newspaper and in talking to them, I'm seeing a lot of parallels with being an independent cartoonist. Do you see it that way?
Wertz: I suppose indie comics entrepreneurship is a thing people do, but I'm the worst at it. I'm insanely lucky in the sense that publishers and agents have always approached me, but that doesn't mean I don't bust ass getting comics done. That's about all I'm good for. Bust ass, that's a gross phrase.
OO: What kind of comics (or other media) have caught your attention lately? Anything you'd particularly recommend? Anything that inspires your own work?
Wertz: I've kind of been into going to improve and local stand-up comedy shows lately. Not particularly because I'm a huge fan of the medium, but because I really enjoy watching people wing it. Even when it's bad, it's good, ya know? Because it's so uncomfortable. Although there is a free comedy show in Brooklyn called the Big Terrific that I've only gone to twice but both times were excellent. I'd highly recommend it, plus it's free so if it sucks that night, who cares?
OO: I dig those abandoned buildings you posted photos of on your blog . . . potential fodder for comics, or is that something off to the side?
Wertz: I have a bunch of things to put into work "off to the side" once I'm finished chronicling what's happening right now. I assume my life won't be this chaotic for that much longer (I know the comic makes it seem a bit boring but I tend to tone down or completely omit the drama) so I'll visit those projects later. I have a kids book I'd like to work on too.
The abandoned places/buildings are mostly just a casual hobby. I'm fascinated by dilapidation and what comes out of it. As a teenager I spent a lot of time hanging out at an abandoned castle in the hills or at an abandoned military base called Skaggs Island. I just like to be in places that were once inhabited and now left to fall apart. I'm not really sure why. There's just something really beautiful about abandonment.
Ahhhahaha that was so cheesy!! Barf!
We'd like to thank Ms. Wertz for the time and profundity! Be sure to check out fartparty.org to learn more about Julia Wertz and her extremely funny and compelling comics.

- Peshawar, Pakistan - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
Peshawar is the capital city of central Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in northern Pakistan. Peshawar lies just west of the Bara River, a tributary of the Kabul River, near the Khyber Pass. The Shahji-ki Dheri mounds, situated to the east, cover ruins of the largest Buddhist stupa in the Indian subcontinent (2nd century AD), which attest the lengthy association of the city with the Buddha and Buddhism. Once the capital of the ancient Buddhist kingdom of Gandhara, the city was known variously as Parasawara and Purusapura (meaning town, or abode, of Purusa); it was also called Begram. The present name, Peshawar (pesh awar, "frontier town"), is ascribed to Akbar, the Mughal emperor of India (1556-1605). A great historic center of transit-caravan trade with Afghanistan and Central Asia, Peshawar is today connected by highway and rail with Lahore, Rawalpindi, Hyderabad, and Karachi and by air with Rawalpindi, Chitral, and Kabul, Afghanistan.

For the record, I didn't attend a "grade" school. I attended a "grammar" school where we learned, among a myriad of other subject, grammar. Anyone who writes anything may be confronted with issues of "grammar." Since I have been known to write a thing or two, I felt compelled to watch these videos for a quick review. I found these little vignettes to be oddly entertaining. Maybe I need other distractions!
See what you think… They're all very short and to the point; you may be able to binge watch the entire season in a little over 10 minutes. That's easier than taking the totality of "Game of Thrones!" She even talks about the implied diaeresis. And, by the way, that's not an intestinal disorder!

I hope she'll cover commas and quotation marks in an upcoming video. Do they go inside or outside?

ATLANTA, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Presbyterian Cancer Center - Dallas, a joint venture between Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas and Texas Oncology, PA, recently installed an Elekta Infinity system, enabling the facility to begin treating patients with Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT). Elekta Infinity is the facility's first image guided linear accelerator, and will allow the Center to offer patients shortened treatment times with the highest degree of precision.
"We are excited to be able to provide patients with the benefits afforded by the image guidance and VMAT technology of Elekta Infinity," says Kyle Antes, M.S., Director and Chief Physicist for Presbyterian Cancer Center. "On average, we treat about 65 patients a day, and we anticipate this system will result in increased time savings, highly conformal treatment and a better overall experience for our patients."
VMAT with Elekta Infinity varies the radiation beam during treatment by simultaneously manipulating the gantry position and speed, MLC leaves, dose rate and collimator angle for precise beam shaping without interrupting treatment delivery. As a result, Elekta VMAT delivers more radiation to the target while sparing healthy tissue, in significantly less time. Faster treatment times improve patient comfort, which makes it easier for the patient to remain still during treatment and increases the likelihood of delivering radiation more accurately and safely.
By implementing Elekta VMAT, Antes also anticipates reducing treatment times by half for head and neck patients. What were formerly 30-minute time slots are now only 15 minutes, making it easier for the Center to schedule patients. Patients also experience the benefits of no longer having to lie still, while wearing a tight mask for 30 minutes.

According to Len Pasquarelli of the Sports Xchange, the Seattle Seahawks offered defensive end Chris Clemons a three-year contract that would pay him $8 million this season, instead of the original $4 million he's set to make. He would then make $4.5 million 2013 and $5.5 million in 2014. This means Clemons would essentially earn $18 million over three seasons.
Clemons has decided to reject the offer in hopes of getting more money as a free agent next spring.
It also looks like Clemons won't be showing up any time soon to the Seahawks facility until his contract is worked out.

Brooklyn officials and civic leaders joined New York University officials at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) on Thursday to celebrate the merger of NYU-Poly (previously known as Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn and Polytechnic University) with NYU.
With this merger, which was officially completed on January 1, NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering, located in MetroTech Center, becomes NYU's newest school. The merger brings engineering back to NYU for the first time in four decades, since the closing of its University Heights Campus in the Bronx in 1973.
Attention Andy Warhol: Your favorite skin-care shop is opening an outpost on Montague Street Friday.
Kiehl's, the East Village apothecary that counted the famed artist as a customer, is unveiling its first Brooklyn store on a prime corner of Brooklyn Heights' Numero Uno retail corridor.
Warhol was a fan of Kiehl's Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion – a skin-care potion that's one of the best-known items in the retailer's skin, body and hair care products lineup.
Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson and New York Police Commissioner William Bratton announced the arrests of 12 people who allegedly sold crack cocaine, heroin and alprazolam to undercover officers approximately 120 times, beginning in January 2013, often making deliveries near a Crown Heights middle school.
Two Trees Management Co., the founding developer of the now thriving waterfront community of DUMBO, has recently announced that Folioleaf and Art Dealer Stephen Romano will be joining DUMBO's art gallery community. Both have leased space at 111 Front Street, joining fellow gallery tenants A.I.R. Gallery, Arcilesi Homberg Fine Art, Artadia: The Fund for Art and Dialogue, Brooklyn Arts Council, Giacobetti Paul Gallery, Klompching Gallery, MINUS SPACE, Mighty Tanaka and United Photo Industries.
Pedestrians crossing streets in Northern Brooklyn will be a lot safer if the city reduces the speed limit for vehicles to 20 miles per hour on three main thoroughfares, according to Assemblyman Joseph Lentol, who has reached out to Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg to request the slowdown.
Lentol said the three streets he is targeting: McGuinness Boulevard, Kent Avenue and Park Avenue – are notorious for speeding and traffic fatalities.
Greenpoint – it's quite the haven for artists. Now a firm from London has picked it as a place to store art.

Intel NUC Kit DN2820FYKH with Kingston KVR16LS11/4 (4 GB) Ram. In usb ports (back) i have attached:
1) Flirc controller (flirc.tv/)
2) TRANSCEND TS8GJF780 JETFLASH 780 8GB USB3.0 FLASH DRIVE BLACK (with OE 5.0.8 latest version).
I never had this problem but this "strange" one started when i ONLY did 2 things (and nothing else: havent touched my setup, havent removed anything):
1) Updated bios from 041 to 050
2) Updated Openelec from 5.0.7 to 5.0.8
Problem is that it wakes up on its own (usually the next day i have shut it down). So I got back to 041 bios (as the first idea that came to my mind was that the new bios was faulty). Problem persists with other bios too. Intel enginners answer was:
This looks like some kind of grounding or operating system related
issue, since the BIOS itself do not have a reason to turn on the system
on its own unless it is set on the BIOS to do so at a specific time, but
been a random issue, I do not think it is a BIOS issue.
The only thing remaining is OE version (5.0.8). Could it be my problem?? Anyone is experiencing the same behavior?Maybe bad bios?

Very tasty! and FRESH!!! It was all delicious, I used mango as well and only had apple cider vinegar but it was great!!! I didn't use much onion either, it was all proportional!flag if inappropriate
Nice diversion from the everyday -- interesting food combination. Tasty and good but not great....would make again. We followed advice of other reviews and added garlic to the steak before grilling.flag if inappropriate
The cantaloupe was delicious but would have been better suited to a white meat. If you do decide to make it with the flank steak, perhaps add a little chili.flag if inappropriate
The relish also goes nicely on pork tenderloin. Made it the first time with a honey dew instead of canteloupe (because that's what I had). Worked beautifully, as the honey dew was very ripe and sweet.flag if inappropriate
I thought it was great. I prefer my flank stake as is. I also fixed a nice bulger pilaf where I added a little spice.flag if inappropriate
Reading reviews once again proves to result in another great meal. I also added some garlic and rosemary to the steak which turned out great. I do feel the relish could use some heat, it reminded me of the salsa paired with a past cochinita pibil recipe (mainly heavy on the onions). Ill give the salsa another whirl but next time with some added heat.flag if inappropriate
A great tasting recipe! I added more seasoning to the flank steak (garlic/rosemary) and another splash of the white balsamic. My 8 year old even ate it up!flag if inappropriate
My wife and I enjoyed this recipe vey much tonight. The melon made an excellent salsa and was perfect on this great cut of meat. We thoroughly enjoyed it.flag if inappropriate
The relish is terrible. The flavors are a poor blend and do not add positive flavor to the flank steak. Some guests complained about the melon. Some complained about the mint. Others complained about the onion. Overall, very little can fix this recipe.flag if inappropriate

Find more Christmas recipe ideas
Okay, let me just preface this post by saying that's the most horrible name for a recipe, but it's the only way to describe just how good and addictive this stuff is. . . I promise, you will LOVE every bite!
It's day two of our 12 Days of Christmas Baking series (yum!) My sister made this plain ole' amazing "Christmas Crack" recipe for my dad's birthday, and oh-my-heavens it was fantastic. It's so simple to make, but turns a plain old saltine into utter bliss. {You might just need to ask someone hide the batch so that you don't eat the entire pan yourself. . . that's what I'll be doing when I make it here!}
If you're baking much this Christmas, you'll definitely want to add this one to your to-bake list, as it only requires a few simple ingredients so you'll have a delicious treat at a rock bottom price. I'm betting you have everything you need right in your kitchen already! I'd love to hear if you try this one or have a variation on it, because I'm planning to make it at our house over the weekend.
Notes: I just made it using regular salted butter and it was fine. Also, be sure to put a larger pan underneath your pan in case any of the butter/margarine mixture seeps over – you'll want to watch it closely while in the oven so that it doesn't melt over the edges of your pan.
- 1 cup unsalted butter (NOT margarine)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 40 saltine crackers
- Heat oven to 425.
- Line 12x17 cookie sheet with foil and spray well with cooking spray.
- Layer the saltine crackers on top of the foil.
- Heat butter and sugar on stovetop and heat until boiling.
- Reduce heat to medium, boil for 2 minutes stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to turn a caramel color.
- Pour butter and sugar mixture over crackers and spread evenly.
- Bake 4-5 minutes in oven.
- Remove pan from oven and let cool 3-5 minutes, then sprinkle with chocolate chips.
- As chocolate chips melt, carefully spread into an even layer over the toffee layer.
- Let cool completely (refrigerate to cool more quickly.)
- Break into bite-sized pieces and serve. . . yum!
- Store covered in refrigerator.
Do you have a favorite Christmas treat that you love to make? Leave a comment sharing the recipe, and feel free to link to it on your blog or another page and we might sample it here!

"The magnets turned out even better than I expected. All the pictures looked really good with the chevron background and I received so many compliments."
"My fiancée actually picked this design for our save the dates! I wasn't sold on it at first, but it was his favorite, and after we personalized it and made it look exactly how we wanted it to, I started to love it. Once they arrived in the mail, I was so impressed with the quality and how cute they turned out! I'm definitely glad we chose this design, and that we were able to do some things to make it our own. We will absolutely be returning to personalize and purchase formal invitations!"
"I had the designer mock up a color that was not offered for preview. The proof arrived lightning fast. Then the actual magnets arrived four days ahead of schedule! We will be ordering invitations from WPD as well."
"Love that it wasnt too big and can fit on the side of the fridge nicely (if you have a stainless steel fridge). Love it."
"We were blown away by our Save the dates! The foil color matched my dress perfectly. The look was very modern, yet stylish. We chose to put photos on the back and our guests are still raving over the save the date."

This is a vintage set of salt and pepper shakers, probably made in Mexico (because of the label on the bottom of tray), with its own oval 4" tray also decorated by an inlaid of Mother of Pearl all around it. The 2" shakers on top are marked with an 'S' for salt and a 'P' for pepper. They were made of layers of multi-color mother of pearl and 'Alpaca Silver' which is composed of a silver colored base metal. Tops are taken off to refill. Very good condition!

Health care reform: Not as unpopular as everyone thought
Obamacare was a big winner at the Democratic convention last week, where the law was praised and its most popular provisions highlighted. On Sunday, it received another (sort of) plug, when Mitt Romney seemed to step back from his pledge to dismantle health care reform from top to bottom if elected.
Romney, who throughout the campaign has tried to distance himself from the Massachusetts health care reform law, spoke with David Gregory on Meet the Press and praised portions of Obamacare [starts at 20:17]: "I say we're going to replace Obamacare, and I'll replace it with my own plan. And you know even in Massachusetts where I was governor, our plan there deals with pre-existing conditions and with young people," Romney said. "I'm not getting rid of all of health care reform of course. There are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I'm going to put in place."
Mother Jones reports that the Romney campaign issued a couple of clarifications after the interview, but as Sarah Kliff notes in the Washington Post, Romney's position on coverage for people pre-existing conditions isn't new. Romney's plan would prevent those with pre-existing conditions from being denied a plan if they have had "continuous coverage," or if they've paid for insurance every month and then enroll in a new plan. It differs significantly from Obamacare, which allows anyone to gain access to coverage regardless of their past insurance status.
After all, a reversal of such policies is tough to advocate now that their effects are making headlines. Many parts of the bill poll well, and a new report out today found that the percentage of young adults who lack health insurance fell significantly, even as the rate of uninsured people rose among other age groups, an indicator that Obamacare is responsible for much of the improvement.
Meanwhile, in Massachusetts, despite all the progress made in bringing most residents under a health insurance umbrella, cost remains a huge problem. Two stories in the Globe highlight the continuing financial strain medical care imposes on the economy. Employers are increasingly shifting the costs of benefits onto their employees to offset increases in health insurance expenses, and the amount of medical debt held by Massachusetts residents has not improved since 2006, when health care reform passed.

The New York Times finds actual policy missing from Romney's tax policy.
Google data shows interest in Mitt Romney's religion spiked last month with "Romney Mormon" leading in searches related to topics about the GOP candidate. The phrase was followed in popularity by "Bain," "tax returns," "dog on roof," and "etch a sketch."

Episode 179: The Gripe Game
Jay and Marc play a new game where they each come up with a list of things that bother them while watching a Knicks game and if it isn't on the other persons list they get a point. It's nothing like scattergories, don't sue us.
Episode 178: So Confused
Jay and Marc try to make heads or tails out of what Knicks team is going to show up from quarter to quarter, talk about Camby coming back, K-Mart not playing, and a bunch of other interesting Knick strategies. Download Episode 178
Episode 174: Finding the Problem
Jay and Marc feel that lately even when the Knicks win it's ugly and not a formula for success in the playoffs. They try and figure out if the problem is coming from the coaching or from certain players. There is a lot of criticizing this episode but almost none of it is about Amare. Jay comes up with a few trade proposals that Marc finds very unrealistic. Download Episode 174
Episode 173: Can't Win Em All
Marc and Jay talk about the Detroit and Washington games, players we can't root for, improving the dunk contest, a listener calls in, facebook questions, the Knicks rotation, Mike Woodsons rotations and much more Download Episode 173
February is off to a good start
- The Knicks started off the 1st half in usual annoying fashion, falling behind by double digits before winning by a decent margin at the end. This lack of enthusiasm for the first two quarters is going to really bite them in the ass against better teams.
- Amare has developed this mini-hook that has been really really effective. If he is going to continue to score 15-17 and grab 6-8 rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench while playing semi-tolerable defense while not complaining about his role I'm all in.
- Tyson Chandler: 20 rebounds. Awesome.
- Felton hurt his previously broken finger. After clearly showing some pain and icing it for a while he came back in and hit a few shots. Lets hope it was just a bump and not a refracturing or the 2nd half of the season is going to be really long.
- Kudos to the Knicks for finally not getting burned by not one but two fast point guards. Also, after fast starts by Dunleavy and Ilyasova the Knicks contained them in the 2nd half as well. In other words, no Knick Effect for tonight!
- I'm really glad the Knicks won tonight, but they are playing tomorrow and I would have rathered Melo not play 44 minutes tonight.
- In the 3rd quarter Shumpert got pulled after one minute for missing a defensive assignment. I like that Woodson holds players accountable but it would be even better if he did that for every player. Like when Melo all but sits down on the floor with his arms crossed like a 3 year old when he doesn't get a call.
Episode 171: A Ton of Stuff

The Knicks Prove Their Lack of Desire for the #1 Seed
- The lack of effort in this game by everyone not named Amare was disgusting.
- JR Smith final line, 0-8, 0 points, 4 turnovers, +/- of minus 16. Thanks for putting to rest the debate of whether you should have made the all-star team.
- Ed Malloy was the ref tonight, but he had no effect on the Knicks, this was all on them.
- Jrue Holiday had a career high. Knickeffect.
- Amare Stoudemire had 20 points on 8-13 shooting and some nice defensive plays. Too bad it was wasted on this shit show of a game.
- Philly starters outscored Knicks starters 89-40.
- This had better be a continuity issue that will resolve itself soon or else the Knicks have big problems as this is the healthiest they have been all year.
- What happened to the defense from the 1st month of the season? Wasn't Shumpert coming back supposed to make the Knicks even more potent on defense?
- Ronnie Brewer looked great the 2.5 seconds he played tonight.
Knicks vs 76ers – 1-26-13 – Game Thread
Felton is back! This is as close to a full roster as the Knicks have been all season and might be for the rest of the season. Should be interesting to see how they look. Comment below as the game goes on.
