Shooting Suspect Had Record of Gun Use, Misconduct
Aaron Alexis, the 34-year-old suspect killed in the U.S. Navy Yard shooting spree, had at least two earlier brushes with the law involving guns that led to the end of his four-year Navy career in 2011.
Mr. Alexis was a New York native who lived in Fort Worth, Texas, and worked in a Navy fleet logistics support squadron based there before he was discharged from the military after a 2010 arrest for firing a gun at his apartment. The incident sent a bullet into a neighbor's property a few days after an alleged confrontation with the neighbor over noise.
No one was injured and no charges were filed, according to the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney's Office. According to the police report, Mr. Alexis said that "he was trying to clean his gun while cooking and that his hands were slippery."
A defense official said that Mr. Alexis was pushed out of the military following the apartment incident. "There is no question there was a pattern of misconduct," the official said.

In a 2004 incident in Seattle, police said Mr. Alexis had been arrested for shooting out the tires of another man's vehicle in an anger-fueled "blackout." Mr. Alexis told police at the time he had been deeply disturbed by events he witnessed during the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Police said Mr. Alexis's father said his son had been involved in 9/11 rescue efforts and had post-traumatic stress and anger-management issues.
Following his separation from the Navy, Mr. Alexis began working at Happy Bowl Thai, a restaurant in Fort Worth.
The restaurant's owner, Nutpisit Suthamtewakul, said in an interview that he met Mr. Alexis roughly three years ago at a Fort Worth area Buddhist temple. The two became friends and drinking buddies. Mr. Suthamtewakul said he invited Mr. Alexis to move in with him after the apartment incident. Mr. Alexis, who spoke fluent Thai, also took a job at the Thai restaurant, the owner said.
Mr. Alexis was a "hard-core drinker," Mr. Suthamtewakul said. Another friend, Michael Ritrovato, a government worker, said he saw Mr. Alexis playing first-person shooting games online. Mr. Suthamtewakul said he and his family would sometimes bring Mr. Alexis plates of food during his videogame binges.
During this time Mr. Alexis also sought spiritual enlightenment at the Buddhist Thai temple, members said. Mr. Alexis began coming to the Wat Busaya Dhammavanaram Meditation Center in 2010. He participated in chanting and meditation sessions, and had a keen interest in Thai culture, said Pat Pundisto, one of the temple's members.
Mr. Suthamtewakul said Mr. Alexis moved out of his home in May following friction between his wife and Mr. Alexis over the family's cats, which Mr. Alexis disliked. He said he was shocked his friend was identified as the alleged shooter.
So were customers at the Thai restaurant, some of whom recalled Mr. Alexis as a polite man who fixed patrons' computers.
After the restaurant, he found a job with an information-technology company called The Experts, which Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ 0.50 % described as a subcontractor for an H-P contract for the Navy Marine Corps Intranet network. He had been rehired by the firm in July for a project at the Washington Navy Yard after an earlier stint in Japan.
He also was taking online classes with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the school said.

Recently I detected more than 3500 bad sectors on my samsung 160 Gb HDD. Is it possible to repair or ignore this amount of bad sectors using ubuntu 12.04?

Recently I detected more than 3500 bad sectors on my samsung 160 Gb HDD. Is it possible to repair or ignore this amount of bad sectors using ubuntu 12.04?
And what is the max. limit of bad sectors to be repairable?
Make a backup of your data NOW and source a replacement disk. 3500 bad blocks is excessive and no block mapping is going to result in a stable working disk for very long. That many bad blocks is a sign of impending hardware failure.
You can use recovery tools like ddrescue to dump out an image file of the entire drive, there are options to keep a log of bad blocks and the tool will first recover all readable data, you can also prioritize different parts of the drive. Other tools like basic file copy, or classic dd will error out on the 1st bad block encountered, or they will repeatedly re-attempt to access those bad blocks that are encountered. You can then go back using the logfile as input and re-attempt each unreadable sector, often times you will be able to recover more than half of the bad sectors.
This at least gives you the ability to partially reconstruct files on otherwise unreadable file systems or un-bootable operating systems. You can then use other forensic tools against your disk image file. For example, to search through raw filesystem data for JPEG images.
Beware of the syntax of input and output devices, I know there used to be one variant of ddrescue out there that had BACKWARDS input and output syntax when compared to classic dd. This caused some users to inadvertently copy their target drive over the source data they were trying to recover! There are no warnings about overwriting existing data.
If bad sectors is located in one or few disk areas - check by sector address, then you can exclude them by creating custom partition layout.
Actually for testing purposes i built such system - sliced hard disk in several parts, and every partition checked for readability. I had several 1Tb disks, so it was worth doing. If damaged disk partitions are joined in RAID, then system is generally safe for non mission critical purposes. System now is up 1,5 years without any further problems.

Since we first launched in 2010, our goal has always been the same: offering high quality cost-conscious sample libraries, always focusing on playability and having our mind set on musicians.
The most important aspect of a library is the sound, we always record our libraries using the finest mics, preamps and converters on the market.
Making it simple is the most complicated part. We have to find the equilibrium between offering versatile libraries and not falling into an ocean of possibilities.
When we have a top quality library easy to use and well designed, our third concern is the price. We want to offer libraries with the lowest price as possible.

Bennington, VT 05201-6003
Of Montreal. Rainer Maria. Kimya Dawson. Bennington College's Sunfest has long been reputed for being ahead of the curve when it comes to featuring musical acts just before they explode into notoriety. The College's annual music festival will begin at 12:00 pm on Saturday, May 17, 2008. This year's highly-anticipated bill features nine bands and is headlined by the experimental rock-duo, The Fiery Furnaces. All bands will play in the Student Center, and the College streets will be lined with food, vendors, and games. Sunfest is open to the public, and admission is $15.
The Fiery Furnaces Headlining this year's Sunfest, sibling-duo The Fiery Furnaces are celebrated for their oscillating music that is "gloriously, kaleidoscopically shape-shifting" (New York Magazine). Famous for making fascinating and idiosyncratic music, the band's innovative style has earned them a spot on NPR's list of Best Albums of 2007 for their most recent album Widow City.
Bishop Allen As addictive as they are playful (Rolling Stone), Bishop Allen plays music that is vivid and vibrant. Their songs strike a beautiful balance: optimistic pop with a bittersweet edge ("uplifting in their melodic and sweet construction and but wrapped in a contrasting unhappiness") and appealing to everyone at every time (Michael Frauenhofer, PopMatters). The band is currently touring their new album, The Broken String—hailed as both prolific and polished by Spin Magazine (September, 2007).
The Boggs Jason Friedman comes together with a shifting cast of musicians—from Enon's Matt Schulz to Au Revoir Simone's Heather D'Angelo—and constant, changing collaboration to make the music of The Boggs. With energy and emphasis on rhythm—"a combustible concoction of hand-claps, knee-slaps, Bo Diddley beats, shuffling feet, clinking cowbells, and chain-gang chants" (Pitchfork, 2007), The Boggs straddle the lines between blues, folk and rock 'n roll, reflecting the roots of musical evolution.
The Postelles (Sunfest's Band to Watch!)
The Postelles deliver powerful, contagious pop rock with a retro wash. Rapidly gathering attention across the country from outlets like BBC Radio and Spin Magazine, the band's dangerously upbeat tunes are as tightly-constructed as they are captivating.
Adventure Baltimore-based Adventure takes as his source material familiar childhood melodies, turns them upside down, inserts beats, and makes them his own. Working with Baltimore arts-collective Wham City and friend Dan Deacon, Adventure is both fun and smart, raw, yet refined.
The Kiss Off Fronted by Bennington alumnus Sam Tyndall '04, The Kiss Off's brand new EP Brace focuses on strong, dance-rock steeped in a post-punk sound. Driven by big vocals and heavy rhythms, the band lays distorted melodies over catchy drumming and synth drones, recalling the early sounds of Joy Division.
DJ Holva First-place winner of Battle of the Bands 2008, DJ Holva (Blake Shaw '11) earned his spot on the Sunfest bill with powerful beats and intricate phrase-to-phrase mixing. With an interest in minimal tech-house, Shaw blends his studies in electronic music with dramatic and danceable DJ sets.
The Aretha Franklin Cover Band Second-place winner of Battle of the Bands 2008, the Aretha Franklin Cover Band is fronted by Sophia Brunner '08 whose compelling and powerful voice propels the band through re-invented Franklin hits like "Baby, I Love You" and "It's In His Kiss."

Mr D
I am an engineering student. In my spare time I work towards obtaining my Java Architect Certification and I also hope to publish some android freelancer applications soon.
Finally I'm also working on a bigger (and much more interesting) open source project. The idea behind it is to similuate the way a society works in detail. From the population growth to different distractions and diversions they spend their money on to the amount of body fat. The player would be able to "evolve" its own society from the ground up, with infinite choises that would lead to different behaviors. I'll be publishing this project on github as soon as I can get the basics done.
I currently work on my own but I'd love to team up with other people. If you'd like to work with me on any projects, or you'd like to contact me for any other reason feel free to send me an email.

Short titles in title bar also gets clipped with text-ellipsis?
I was wondering, is this a bug or a new feature of Sencha Touch 2.0.1.
All the titles in the titlebar gets clipped with text-ellipsis. - So also the really short title's.
For me this looks a bit strange... Is there a setting to disable this functionality?
Cause right now I have to overrule the CSS to fix it.

Looks like we have centered set to true on the title component which makes it floating and has a CSS that says the flex is zero which I think makes it get cut off.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

We've all seen the images of mold-infested homes that headlined media and courtrooms a few years ago–or experienced it firsthand–with faulty window installation often front and center as a main point of failure. But since that time, the industry has stepped-up efforts to provide training and manufacturers have responded with a range of products that protect window openings from moisture intrusion.
Marvin Windows & Doors
Robert Hagood, market manager for DuPont Flashing Systems, says that litigation has brought more attention to this vulnerable part of the building envelope; training and product solutions have both increased as a result. "I think what you're seeing there is some improvement in the codes as well as the materials that are offered," he says.
DuPont Tyvek led the way several years ago with its revolutionary FlexWrap, a moldable, peel-and-stick flashing tape that offers seamless protection around window curves and corners, and the companion StraightFlash product. This summer, the company added StraightFlash VF, a dual-sided flashing for installation with non-flanged windows and doors.
Several other manufacturers now offer peel-and-stick flashing tapes in straight and conformable versions, including Pactiv GreenGuard Flashing and GreenGuard SuperStretch Flashing; Dow Weathermate Straight Flashing and Flexible Flashing; and Typar Peel & Stick Flashing and Flashing Flex.
Sill pan solutions also abound. Marvin Windows & Doors has introduced SillGuard, a rigid pan with sloped channels that direct moisture out. Protecto Wrap's Protecto Sill Drainage System features a positive-sloped, closed-cell foam with a peel-and-stick backing that directs water onto the building plane. And the EZPan sill flashing system from Carlisle Coatings & Waterproofing features an extruded foam sill wedge, flashing membrane, corner detail, and self-adhering flashing tape to provide a continuous water barrier and drainage plane.
Taking another approach, Grace Construction Products' prefabricated VYCORners create a waterproof joint at pesky corners.
Joe Lstiburek, a principal for Building Science Corp., a Westford, Mass.–based architecture and building science firm, says that as more attention continues to be paid on the training side and on the product side, those who are picking up the techniques are decreasing their problems. The next big thing in moisture protection, he predicts, will be liquid flashing that is painted on.
With all these choices, it's important to research which products work with your housewrap or building paper and with each other, and to receive training on proper installation. No matter which solutions are best for your area, the growing variety of products and education means there's no excuse for careless window installations that serve as open invitations for moisture intrusion.

More Catholics, more diversity in next Congress
[caption id="attachment_21931" align="alignleft" width="248"] Click to enlarge. Source: Pew Research Ctr.[/caption]Thought you might be interested in this Pew survey of the religious composition of the next Congress, which has its first Hindu member, the first Buddhist in the Senate, the first "none" and more Catholics.The 161 Catholics in Congress (up by five) make up 30.4 percent of the members, well over the 22 percent share Catholics have in the general population. With the vice president and six justices of the Supreme Court also Catholic, it certainly makes for a large proportion of Catholics running the three branches of the United States government.I wonder how many of these officials went to Catholic schools.

I suspect that this won't make a hill of beans difference. Political ambitions trump all.
Billy Graham's son Franklin just said that US economic collapse will rid us of Obama. he attributes this welcome collapse as a God induced event. See we Catholics don't have the real wackos.. just a few over the top complainers who lost an election..
I see that in the WaPo article about possible new GOP leadership the first five considered (Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and John Boehner) all except McConnell are Roman Catholic. Rubio and Jindal have been speaking out loudly against Romney the last couple of days, insisting that the GOP has to start representing all of the people. Well, that's start. We'll see whether this new leadership really cares -- or even knows -- about CST.Yes, WaPo includes Santorum among possible GOP leaders, but says he's more of an activist than a politician. Hmm.It has always amazed me that Bobby Jindal managed to get himself elected governor in Louisiana -- he's almost as dark as the darkest African-American and from a Hindu family. I assume his Faith is sincerely held -- he converted in college. Everyone says he's very smart and not a crook. Yes, he's an extreme economic conservative, but not as bad as Ryan, I'd say. He doesn't seem to be extremely fundamentalist on social issues, at least he doesn't make a lot of noise about them, and he does have some ecological instincts. Who knows. Maybe he'll grow if the party let's him. He's quite young. And Catholicism does have a lot to offer the GOP. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2012/11/16/the-republican...
"...all except McConnell are Roman Catholic."Ann, don't give up on the man yet. In these here parts, it wouldn't surprise anybody to see McConnell becoming Catholic if he thought he could obtain (or retain) political advantage in such a scheme :-)
Catholics can serve as a moderating influence in both parties. Perhaps that's what will happen in the GOP.
I find it quite amazing that the Democratic party has 85 protestants and 73 catholics while the Republicans split is 161 protestants and only 63 catholics. I wonder how much is due to the different geographic dispersion of political parties and religions. That said, it even more confounding that the Democratic convention was described as an Abortionpalooza.
Maybe the Catholic community simply contains more extroverted egotists - the group from which political politicians spring - than average. Or, maybe more likely, more folk with a strong persecution complex - one of the hallmarks of minorities.
Observations here help explain why Catholics are 30% of Congress but only 22% of the population. Pew has previously said that Catholics are the largest Christian group, and ex Catholics 2nd or 3rd. People who are "extroverted egotists" are probably less likely to become ex Catholics because of the social implications of extroversion and possibly the emotional needs of egotists. Similarly, "political advantage" would probably motivate stronger community ties, ie not drifting away to the unaffiliated.Of course these motives are probably working on a weaker, more unconscious level than Joe or David suggested, but I think they point to an underlying dynamic. Politicians are by nature affiliated with others, and they probably break ties less easily than most.
This diversity is a wonderful thing.Catholics may be over-represented in government because we have a strong tradition of service? When I was in the Peace Corps, we noticed that a disproportionate number of volunteers in my country were RC. And I recently read somewhere that a disproportionate number of US marines were Catholic. Maybe it's all part of the same thing.
Irene: The Marine Corps attracts and molds young women and men who are already attuned to doing what they are told to do.
I'd like to know how many of these Catholic politicians have ever had an adult course on the faith.

It is asserted in A Course in Metric Geometry by Burago, Burago, Ivanov that
there can be no more than continuum of mutually nonisometric compact spaces
How is this proven?
Its clear that there must be at least a continuum of mutually nonisometric compact spaces, i.e. $([0,\alpha], d_{\mathbb{R}})$ for $\alpha>0$ are a family of nonisometric metric spaces, but I don't know enough set theory to have any ideas how to bound the cardinality from above. A first guess was that the fact that compact metric spaces are totally bounded should be useful?

FCPA CHINA TRIPLE PLAYPosted in Bribery in China, Business Crisis Management, Crisis Communication Response, Crisis Communication Strategy, Crisis Communication Success Stories, Foreign Corrupt Practices, Las Vegas Sands, Microsoft Corp., Wall Street Journal on March 25th, 2013 by mnayor
The Las Vegas Sands. The Wall Street Journal. Microsoft Corporation. What could these three companies possibly have in common? Try China. Each is being investigated by the SEC and the Department of Justice for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
Last year the Sands disclosed that it was being investigated. It received a subpoena from the SEC in February, 2011 and was advised that DOJ was investigating as well. Some allegations that have come to light are that Sheldon Adelson, the head of the Sands, instructed a top executive to pay about $700,000 in legal fees to aMacaulegislator whose law firm was outside counsel to the Sands. As a result of the government's investigation the Sands authorized its independent Audit Committee to look into the matter and it recently released its preliminary report. The internal investigation is ongoing.
Also last year, the DOJ opened an investigation into allegations of bribery in Chinaby the Wall Street Journal. The WSJ also embarked on its own internal investigation which is close to finished.
Finally, a news story broke this week that Microsoft Corp. is being investigated as a result of allegations of potential bribery by employees in China (as well as inRomania and Italy). This is such a new story that Microsoft has not yet begun its investigation.
Three different stories with the same tag line, all within the month of March, 2013. So far it seems as if this is the year of the FCPA, even though, in fact, FCPA cases have declined over the last two years. All three of these investigations were prompted by whistleblowers of one type or another. How did each company react and which reaction would appear to best serve its corporate interests?
First, the Sands. To its credit the Audit Committee found that there was a likely violation of the books and records and internal controls provisions of the FCPA and this was reported in the Company's form 10-K filed with the SEC. But the 10-K went on to say in a rather self-serving way that the Company has improved its practices with respect to books and records and internal controls. It also states that the preliminary findings do not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company, do not warrant a restatement of previous financial statements and do not represent a material weakness in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012.
The Wall Street Journal investigation is part of a much larger DOJ criminal investigation into the News Corporation, WSJ's parent company, related to revelations that its British newspapers hacked phones and bribed officials in order to obtain information for articles. As part of the overall internal investigation, the Chinese allegations were thoroughly reviewed. The WSJ found no evidence to support the claim or any impropriety, and maintains that the informant is most likely a government official seeking to disrupt or retaliate against the WSJ for reporting on Chinese leadership corruption. It is not clear that DOJ has closed the matter.
Microsoft's matter is new. But its response to the news report that it is being investigated was straight forward. It said that the matters raised were important and that allegations of bribery should be reviewed byU.S.agencies and its own compliance unit. A spokesperson said that allegations of this nature arise from time to time, that it is possible that sometimes an individual employee or business partner may violate the Company's policies or break the law, and that its responsibility is to train its employees, build a system to prevent and detect violations, and to investigate allegations and take appropriate action.
What can we learn about crisis communication from these three stories. The Sands reaction leaves something to be desired. While it is admirable to admit that the company may have violated the law it is presumptuous and self-serving to draw conclusions that basically are up to the government. The SEC and DOJ may have a hard time swallowing the Sands' conclusions. It would have been far better to state that it is cooperating with the agencies to resolve all issues and reach determinations that will not have far reaching consequences to the Company.
If we take the WSJ's comments at face value, there is no reason not to aggressively maintain one's innocence. Yet, it might have been better to acknowledge more clearly that DOJ had not yet signed off on the WSJ's findings and that the WSJ was working with DOJ to conclude the matter. Instead in a buried paragraph in its own story it states that it is unclear whether the Justice Department considers the matter resolved or still open.
The Microsoft reaction is the best. It is the most honest and direct and states the facts of corporate life: We know our responsibility. We do our very best. Occasionally, a bad apple may slip through. Crisis communication does require that a company assess and anticipate the concerns of stakeholders. Good judgment is needed to walk that fine line between allaying those concerns, and acting appropriately and respectfully to those who have control over the outcomes of your investigations.

I just got my Nodal Ninja 3 and am very impressed! For new users out there considering this, its for sure a 2 thumbs up! Its very solidly built, but also light and very compact.
The "rail stops" make it super easy to get set up quick and accurately.
I had been borrowing a Nodal Ninja 3 from a friend to try it out before I bought my own. He got his about a year ago but there where some slight differences..
1) The new one has a different mounting plate for the Camera. The new one is in 2 parts and I like it quite a bit better. It has a right angle "flange" on the plate, that lets you snug it up against the front of your camera. This make sure the plate is mounted straight on the camera.. On my friends unit you had to eyeball this.. Not a biggy but I did mount it a degree or so off once and it made it slightly harder to stitch the shots. They also include 2 different plates one with a smaller flange and one larger.
2) This one I was not so pleased with.... My friends NN3 came with 4 separate detent rings. Each one with a a different stop set up (6 stops 8 stops etc.)
With my NN3 I only get 2 rings, and they have combined multiple stops on one ring, so you get 6 and 8 stops on the same ring..
Not fond of this AT ALL, as with the the old rings dedicated to a stop, you didn't have to worry about the deg at all.. Just rotate to the next click and shoot. Ya Ya, I know , but when your shooting a LOT of panos in a day, (and using bracketed) then it starts to get a little repetitive... Click, click, click, rotate... click click click rotate... I can see it being a lot easier to make a mistake and shoot one set at the wrong angle..
New rings are as follows.
Ring 1 side A = 60deg - 6 stops / 45deg 8 stops
Ring 1 side B = 90deg 4 stops / 120deg 3 stops
Ring 2 side A = 15deg - 24 stops
Ring 2 side B = Nothing? seems a waist. Wouldn'd it have made sense to put something on here? Whats the most common stop count people use?
Any how I would much prefer to get a dedicated ring for each stop... It couldn't have saved them that much on production to got to 2 rings instead of 4...
Any how that's my only disappointment. If any one has a 6 stop ring they never use, please let me know! :-)

KUDOS for Freedom Fest: Hat's off to the organizers of the Freedom Fest celebration at Warren Middle School over Veterans' Day weekend.
It was very well done and a wonderful tribute to us veterans and our families who have sacrificed so much to preserve the freedom that we all too often take for granted.
I am surprised; however, that no letters to the editor were written from Warren neighbors about the associated noise. Whereas the annual spring Cancer Relay For Life only lasts 12 hours once a year, Freedom Fest this year at Warren was much louder, later, and lasted over 48 hours, yet no noise complaints. Veterans get cancer too!

Nebraska City led after nine holes of its home golf meet Thursday in less than ideal conditions at Wildwood golf course.
The Pioneers score inflated a bit during the back nine and the team fell a bit in the standings, but Nebraska City still ended up fourth overall at 360, a scant four shots off the championship pace of Syracuse-Dunbar-Avoca.
The Rockets shot 356, followed by Plattsmouth, 358, and Platteview, 359.
Waverly finished behind the Pioneers at 370.
Nishnabotna finished ninth at the tourney with a 428.
In terms of individual medalists, Blayne Roberts was second overall, Harrison Agena was ninth and Micah Buller was 14th to lead the Rockets. Aaron Moyer shot fourth and Matt Gress shot sixth to pace the Pioneers.
And Tyler Beam was the top shooter for Nishnabotna. The Blue Devil would have medaled, but lost out on scorecard playoffs.

Contemporary Chinese Pulse Diagnosis and Pain
by Ross Rosen and Brandt Stickley
At first glance practitioners may not see the importance or relevance of diagnosing pain, a subjective sensation of one's patient, from reading the pulse as patients tend to report any experience of pain to their practitioner. This article, however, will address pain from multiple approaches and organ systems and demonstrate the value of perceiving the imbalances that lead to, contribute to, and reflect the manifestation of pain directly from the pulse at the radial artery using Contemporary Chinese Pulse Diagnosis (CCPD). Utilizing a diagnostic tool as sensitive as CCPD, one is not limited to the two common explanations of pain, i.e. Qi and/or blood stagnation, and bi obstruction syndrome. While we can indeed diagnose these from the pulse, using the 28 pulse positions and 80 qualities from CCPD, as well as some unique concepts from Contemporary Oriental Medicine® (COM), we can broaden our concepts to include the pulse diagnostic categories for pain.

Unfortunately for Golden State, the draft isn't the only newsworthy piece of information to come out of Golden State Thursday. I'm not going to really talk about it much here, cause I don't know much about it, but apparently Coach Mark Jackson was a victim of a scandelous extortion scheme involving a stripper. You could probably put two and two together to figure out what the basis of the extortion charge is, but I just hope this doesn't take Jackson's focus off of the draft. He's obvioulsy the victim in this, so I do feel for him, even if he never met this woman, his name still gets dragged through the mud, but that's the price you pay these days to be a high-end public figure. Anyhow, that's off-field, non-basketball related news so I'll leave that to the legal analysts and pundits to talk about, cause there is much more important things happening at Warriors headquarters tonight.
All I've been hearing over the last few days is exactly what I posted in our previous post a few days ago. The Warriors look like they will indeed hold onto all their picks and will have to make a choice on somebody at pick 7. The thing is, I don't even think they know who they're going to pick yet, and probably won't until they see how the first 4-5 picks shake out. They could still be holding out hope that a Barnes or Drummond fall to them, but at the same time, they need to be prepared and have a plan B ready. Everyone in the Bay Area sports media seems to believe that Plan B is Dion Waiters, which I mentioned last post, but it's really anyones guess at this point. There was also a rumor floating around Wednesday that the Warriors could trade down in the draft and acquire two mid-round picks. I think they're playing it by ear though, and we won't see them do anything until the draft starts, if they do make a move at all... Be sure to check back with us after the picks role in for player analysis and thoughts. Until then, in Bob Myers and Coach Jackson we trust, kind of.
|SF Harrison Barnes
The W's are next up at 30, and with their defensive needs in the front court, one guy to keep an eye on is Syracuse center Fab Melo. We'll have that pick coming up with thoughts on that as well. Stay tuned...

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- The Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure has revoked the license of a doctor who worked at a now-closed southern Indiana pain clinic.
Dr. Lea Ann Marlow also worked at a pain clinic in Georgetown, Ky., last year before moving to the Jeffersonville center.
The Courier-Journal reports Marlow did not appear at the Kentucky board's hearing last month. The license-revocation notice was issued on May 2.
Marlow remains suspended in Indiana, where the Attorney General filed a complaint in December saying Marlow wrote more than 8,000 prescriptions for 3,489 patients in Kentucky and Indiana during 2012. The complaint says 95 percent of the prescriptions were for the painkiller oxycodone.
The Indiana clinic only took cash from customers and didn't accept insurance.
Marlow has 30 days to appeal the license revocation.

You Wrote 150 Tutorials!
By seapegasus on May 22, 2008
Since James is travelling, I will quickly mention an announcement from the Community Docs team.Varun Nischal, the NetBeans community docs contribution coordinator, reports another milestone: In the less than 4 months since we reached the 100 mark on February 5th, another 50 docs were contributed by NetBeans developers! Varun says:
Yes, this means you. :-) Do you have a useful tip lying around in your head, a solution you discovered and think, hey, maybe somebody else has the some question? It's very easy to contribute:
All credit goes to you and your passion towards NetBeans making it possible for us to achieve such milestones. There are still potential contributors either amongst you or in waiting, who have still not realised their potential and when they do, we would be unstoppable! Keep up the good work!
- Go to wiki.netbeans.org (you can get a login here).
- Click Community Docs in the top left, it contains all the info you need.
- Scroll down to Community Docs In Progress and add a line for what you want to write. Surround the name of your document with angular braces, like this: [How to grow esparagus]
- Save the page, and the title will turn into a link. Click the link to create a new empty page for your doc.
- The wiki syntax is very easy, and even if you just write plain text, it will be okay. The content counts. :-)

Week in Ideas: Daniel Akst
The Myopia of Misery
Sadness makes people more shortsighted when it comes to money, a paper reports.
Researchers showed subjects short films known to instill sadness, disgust or neutral feelings. Then the participants were asked to choose between getting money right away or getting a larger sum months later.
People typically discount future rewards heavily. But in this case, those who were shown the sad film discounted the future much more than others. One example: People shown the "neutral" film required $56 to forgo $85 three months later, but people shown the sad movie required only $37.
The findings are consistent with prior research showing that positive feelings increase patience, the authors said, and imply that grief or similar feelings could impair financial decision-making.

Astray? Not With a Spray
Help may be on the way for the cheated-upon.
Men in committed relationships who were given a spritz of oxytocin stayed farther away—at least by a few inches—from an attractive female than did similar men given a placebo.
The substance, a hormone produced by the brain, plays a role in building bonds in couples and between parents and children. Oxytocin also facilitates trust and, evidently, fidelity. In the study, committed men given oxytocin also approached photos of attractive women more slowly. But the substance had no effect on single men.
The latest findings are consistent with earlier research fingering oxytocin as a promoter of monogamy in prairie voles.

Consumer Spending
The Dirty-Money Problem
Leaving the credit cards home is a time-tested way to curb spending. Now a pair of marketing professors may have found another way to do the trick: carrying crisp new bills and shopping alone.
The study found that people spent less when given cash in fresh bills compared with worn ones. When gambling for the prize of a new bill, people were far more willing to risk dirty old bills than clean new ones. There was an exception to the pattern, though: When others were watching, test subjects were more likely to spend new bills than old ones. "People want to rid themselves of worn bills because they are disgusted by the contamination from others," the authors write, "whereas people put a premium on crisp currency because they take pride in owning bills that can be spent around others."

Plastic Skin, Heal Thyself
Artificial skin, which is used to help burn victims (among other purposes), has come a long way, but it still falls short of the real thing, particularly when it comes to repairing itself.
Now researchers at Stanford University have developed a plastic skin that can conduct electrical signals, much the way real skin signals the brain, and heals itself, when damaged, faster than real skin. The plastic is made of long chains of molecules joined by hydrogen bonds that break apart easily but also reconnect easily. Pressed together for a few seconds, the stuff regains its conductivity and strength in about a half-hour.
The new material, which the scientists are calling the first of its kind, is described in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.

The first two lines do just what I want:
\node (F) at (1,1) {$F$};
\draw (0,2) to [out=-90] (F);
That is, it draws an edge downward from the point
(0,0) and bends it to hit
(F), entering the node at roughly 135 degrees. I don't have to specify
But the next line uses the same ~135 degree value for
in, when I want it to have a value around 45 degrees and not specify it!
\draw (2,2) to [out=-90] (F);
How do I tell
tikz to compute the
in value again rather than use the previous one?
Here's a minimum working example, modified now that it's clear I was a "victim of circuses":
\node [circle, draw=black] (F) at (1,1) {$F$};
\draw (0,2) to [out=-90] (F);
\draw (0.7,2) to [out=-90, in=110] (F);
\draw (2,2) to [out=-90, in=45] (F);
\draw (F) to [out=-135, in=90] (0,0);
\draw (F) to [out=-45, in=90] (2,0);

I absolutely love this punch. Now I can make my own doily lace trim really easily. This makes a large trim to add to any LO instantly. I think its the easiest of the punches to line up out of all of the punches that I own ! I think I am going to use it so much you'll say get this girl another punch PLEASE lol!
This is such a beautiful pattern. I want to scraplift a wedding layout & this punch was used. Then I started noticing them on tons of layouts! Now I want o collect a few or fifty... lol :) I can see me using it on my dd kids pages, heritage pages & cards. I think this was a good 1st choice.
This punch is definitely a wise investment. It is so versatile and has a beautifully intricate pattern. I've made borders, lace "ribbons" to bind items, frames, and cards with this tool and I've only owned it for 2 days!
This punch is easy to use and makes perfect ribbon every time! Cut it down the middle and you have a completely different look! I haven't been sold on MS punches but this one I love! I give this five stars!
