Upstate Politician Definitely Disgusting
Although he denies sexually harassing his staff, the evidence against Dennis Gabryszak is gross.
Buffalo Assemblyman Dennis Gabryszak agreed to resign over the weekend in the face of sexual-harassment allegations from seven of his female employees, but still insisted he didn't really do anything wrong. "There was mutual banter and exchanges that took place that should not have taken place because it is inappropriate in the workplace even if it does not constitute sexual harassment," the 62-year-old Democrat said in a statement, denying the "demonstrably false" allegations. His accusers took that as a dare and have since released some pretty damning evidence of Gabryszak being, at the very least, extremely gross.
Among the "banter and exchanges" made public by an attorney for six of the accusers are texts and Facebook chats about "licking" a subordinate, telling another "you gave me a boner when you walked into the office," and referring to Staten Island Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis as "Malliocockkiss."
Then there's this video of Gabryszak feigning (?) some sort of, um, sex act or intense bowel movement in a toilet stall complete with grunting and the grand finale: "Is this what you wanted?" (Probably not.)
The lawyer for the alleged victims said, "This response is made necessary by reason of the absurdity of Mr. Gabryszak's statement, which shows no remorse, acceptance of responsibility or connection to the reality of the circumstances." He added, "He would have been much wiser to just resign and make no comment." But here we are.

Confirmed traveller
- Everyday a highlight, a challenge achieved reaching each camp, peak in altitude until the top of the highest free-standing mountain in the world at 5895m. A highlight was the transition between all the different types of vegetation, microclimates and landscapes, going from the lowlands of subtropical Moshi, to the rainforest, then moorland and heather where trees start to disappear for less vegetation and fewer plants. After the semi-desert, comes the arid landscape of the summit, with intense sunlight, cold some snow and ice. With ten hours walk through the night from the last camp on summit day, the most memorable moment was approaching Uhuru peak, walking still very slowly, tired, and seeing the green post from far. Flashing back memories of all the efforts, realising that we all made it to the very top of Africa and it was all so worth it. Another memorable moment was the singing and dancing of the crew, the whole group and others joining in and the tour leader sharing the upbeat spirit of their culture.Lovely Whitey, always positive, happy, encouraging and so passionate about Kili. He has reached the summit more than 150 times, so much experience and stories to share.

Mission-driven sensor networks usually have special lifetime requirements. However, the density of the sensors may not be large enough to satisfy the coverage requirement while meeting the lifetime constraint at the same time. Sometimes, coverage has to be traded for network lifetime. In this paper, we study how to schedule sensors to maximize their coverage during a specified network lifetime. Unlike sensor deployment, where the goal is to maximize the spatial coverage, our objective is to maximize the spatial-temporal coverage by scheduling sensors' activity after they have been deployed. Since the optimization problem is NP-hard, we first present a centralized heuristic whose approximation factor is proved to be 1/2, and then, propose a distributed parallel optimization protocol (POP). In POP, nodes optimize their schedules on their own but converge to local optimality without conflict with one another. Theoretical and simulation results show that POP substantially outperforms other schemes in terms of network lifetime, coverage redundancy, convergence time, and event detection probability.

This enormous turkey platter will compliment your table setting no matter what color theme you have. It is impressed on the bottom "Italy". The design of the turkey is superbly done. It's extreme length is 26" while the extreme width measures 18". It has a base on the bottom which puts it at an extreme height of 2 ¾". It is oval shaped and is in very good condition.
You better lift weights prior to using, as this platter weighs in at 10 pounds! It certainly can handle a very large turkey on it.

Palm Design VP Joins Nokia as VP of MeeGo UX
Peter Skillman brings interface knowledge to burgeoning open source platform.
Peter Skillman, design VP at Palm has defected to Nokia where he will lend his user interface knowledge to MeeGo. Skill worked directly on Palm's webOS, which while never a top-seller, has definitely earned high marks for its design presentation.
Skillman was also a VP of user experience at Palm before his promotion to design VP. At Nokia, Skillman will oversee the MeeGo user experience as VP of MeeGo UX and services. Skillman is a logical choice for MeeGo, not only because of his experience, but because the operating system already borrows a few visual cues from Palm's OS, namely it's carousel-style app-switching.
In the wake of HP's Palm purchase Matias Duarte, Palm's senior director of human interface and user experience and lead designer behind webOS has gone to Google for Android and now a Skillman has gone to Nokia for MeeGo. What this means for the user interfaces of these three operating systems is uncertain, but one thing that is for sure: It's going to be an interesting next 6 months on mobile platforms.

We all know how much Sky build the excitement around their manufactured Deadline Day yet we all buy into the concept in the hope your team's owners do too.
Basically, we're just watching a clock countdown with the same stories being reported every half an hour, but sometimes, just sometimes we're treated to a rare moment of live TV when things don't go to plan.
Those are the moments that make Deadline Day, and here are some of the best...

Possibility of war postpones Al Saqqa's new film for six months
Due to the current situation in the region with the possibility of war being high, the crew of the film "Al Muhima" (The Mission), starring Egyptian actor Ahmad Al Saqqa, have decided to postpone filming of the scenes for six months or until conditions cool down. The decision is also due to the fact that most of the scenes in the film will be taking place in Turkey, which is now considered as a somewhat dangerous place to be in.
According to the Egyptian weekly, Al Nogoom, writer of the film Midhat Al Adel said that in addition to the US military bases set in Turkey, the weather at the moment also plays a major part making it impossible to film anything with temperatures reaching 25 degrees below zero. Midhat added that changing the location of the film is not an option since most of the scenes revolve around events taking place in Turkey, with addition to the new Turkish actress who will be playing the leading role with Al Saqqa in the new film.
On a different note, Al Saqqa is trying to convince Egyptian actress Hanan Turk to take the leading role with him in his new movie, which he will begin shooting after the movie "Al Muhima". The new film, which name has not been decided, is to shoot most of its scenes in Russia.
If Hanan accepts the part, she will be playing the role of a businessman's daughter who lives in Russia. Her father discovers a group of men who are involved in smuggling a type of gas that is used to create nuclear weapons.
Hanan secretly makes contact with Egypt's intelligence service and notifies them of the plan to smuggle the illegal gas into Egypt. Hanan works side by side with the agent to help fight the corruption before it reaches Egypt.
The film written by Mohammad Hifthi and directed by Tariq Al Iryan is to costar a number of young Egyptian actors along with some Russian actors who will be playing minor roles. -Albawaba.com

Politics Burner's First TV Ad
Eastside Democrat Darcy Burner released her first television ad this morning, and I'm told it will be running on local network TV soon. It's an introductory ad that goes over her biography and ends with a call for change something that voters are clearly in the mood for given yesterday's primary results in Connecticut.
Will it play well in the 8th District? Here's the commercial . What do you think?
UPDATE: And here's a rather bizarre Dave Reichert commercial that I just noticed floating around on YouTube. Did the Reichert campaign put this out? Is it a spoof? Any of you tech geeks out there able to trace its origin?

Suppose I want to call a subprocess from within my program, and I want to read the output from that subprocess into my program.
Here is a trivial way to do that:
system("sub_process arg1 arg2 -o file.out");
//call the subprocess and have it write to file
FILE *f = std::fopen("file.out", "r");
//.... and so on
We all know that i/o operations are computationally slow. To speed this up, I would like to skip the write-to-file-then-read-from-file step, and instead redirect the output of this sub-process directly into stdin (or some other stream)
How would I do this? How do I skip the i/o operation?
Note: many programs spit out some diagnostic stuff into stdout while they run, and write a clean version of the output to stdout (ex: stdout: "step1...done, step2...done, step3..done" -o file-out: "The magic number is: 47.28"), so ignoring the "-o " argument and trusting that output will be automatically re-directed to stdout isn't necessarily helpful...
Thanks to all in advance.

The Cine-Mod® is a modification process developed by Duclos Lenses that improves still photo lenses in several ways, making them more useable for motion picture applications. The Cine-Mod® consist of three primary parts: A seamless 32-pitch (0.8 module) focus gear, an 80mm front ring with 77mm filter threads, and a de-clicked, damped aperture movement.
Individual pricing:
Cine-Mod® + Mount
Individual pricing:
Zeiss Primes
The Zeiss ZF.2 primes are among the most suitable still photo lenses to be adapter for motion picture use with the Cine-Mod. Their fully manual design and high quality materials makes them ideal. Converting the ZF.2 primes from Nikon F to Canon EF allows the all manual operation of the ZF.2 lenses to be used on a wide range of cameras. The ZE version of these primes offers a factory standard Canon EF mount but lacks the manual aperture of the ZF.2 primes. This makes the ZE variants less desirable as the iris can only be operated with a Eos camera smart mount. One of the greatest benefits of the Zeiss ZF.2 and ZE primes is that they can be purchased brand new with factory warranty.
Leica Primes
Leica has several series of lenses, of which the R series is the most well suited for the Cine-Mod. With proper focus rotation and a very desirable "vintage" look, the Leica R series primes are a very popular choice for cinematography. These primes can accept the Cine-Mod very well including the Leitax Nikon F or Canon EF conversion. With dozens of focal lengths produced over a range of many years, the Leica R series lenses are among the most popular still lenses for motion picture work. Certain lenses cannot accept the 80mm front ring due to uncommon filter thread sizes such as Series VII, and VIII. Other focal lengths cannot be used on cameras with a reflex mirror such as the 5D due to interference with the rear element.
Contax Primes
The Zeiss Contax (C/Y) primes are a good blend of features including fully manual operation and "proper" focus rotation. Their optical design is very similar to that of the more modern ZF.2 primes in certain focal lengths, and inferior in others. As with any lens produced over a decade ago, caution should be taken when searching for pre-owned lenses - their condition should be carefully evaluated prior to purchase. The Contax/Yashica primes can accept a Leitax Canon EF mount adaptation similar to the Zeiss ZF.2 and Leica R primes, but require specific mounts for different focal lengths. These mounts can be purchased directly from Leitax.com.
Nikon Primes
Nikon primes have an excellent heritage with options ranging all the way from the early 60's Nikkor-S lenses up to modern AF-S G primes. Somewhere right in the middle you'll find the Nikkor AI-s series with fully manual controls and very pleasing glass. The Nikon AI-s primes won't be as well corrected or controlled as the Leica R primes and will have a "backwards" focus rotation, but their build quality and character more than make up for what they lack. Almost all Nikon AI-S primes can accept the full Cine-Mod as well as a Leitax Canon EF conversion. There are some exceptions. The Pre AI Nikon primes have an unaccommodating mount hole pattern that cannot be converted to EF easily. Newer Nikon primes such as the AF-S G series lack a manual aperture ring.
Zoom Lenses
There are few zooms that work well for motion picture application and therefor few that will benefit from the Cine-Mod. Nikon's AF-S 17-35mm, 28-70mm, and 80-200mm work well, but not without their drawbacks. The problems with using still photo zooms for cinema work include consistency, accuracy, stability, and plenty of other zoom related occurrences. Most zoom lenses lack a manual aperture ring and may require additional support due to their heavier design. For zoom that do work well for cinema, a zoom gear can be installed similar to the focus gear. This can be helpful for remote operation or motor driven setups. There are very few Leica R zooms that work well with the Cine-Mod. Modern Canon EF and Nikon F lenses can greatly benefit from focus and zoom gears.
Everything Else
There are plenty of other options out there. Parts of the Cine-Mod can be applied to so many different lenses. A few tips to keep in mind: A gear can be affixed to just about any surface that doesn't have an obstruction; including scalloped, rubber, metal, or plastic rings. Different surface patters and materials work better than others. Access to the surface where the gear is to be installed must be the largest diameter from the front or the rear of the lens. If the diameter of the scale is smaller than the front and the rear, a gear cannot be installed. Lenses without an aperture ring cannot be de-clicked for obvious reasons. 80mm front rings are installed using existing filter threads. Uncommon threads cannot accept 80mm front rings. Contact Duclos Lenses today about your lenses.
With tens of thousands of perfectly good lenses manufactured since the birth of photography, the possibilities are near endless. Put your old lenses to use on a 5D. Snatch up some vintage glass to mount onto your C300. Give a brand new set of primes a whole new purpose on the ever growing list of professional motion picture cameras. At a mere fraction of the cost of most new cinema lenses, the Cine-Mod can help you achieve the results you need with the lenses you already have.

In recent years, the Orlando Magic were an Eastern Conference powerhouse. With the Big Three coming together in Miami, the Chicago Bulls and the talent of the Atlanta Hawks, Orlando has their work cut out for them.
The Magic can remain towards the top of the Eastern Conference standings, but other players need to step up. The Magic have the players to get it done. It may not be a single player every night or like a duo in New York. However, with a smart and methodical rotation, the Magic can contend.
In order for Orlando to seriously compete in the East, they will need four things to happen. Let's break them down:

Health & Baby
If Breast Is Best, Why Do Many New Mothers Give Up?
The pressure of returning to work also is an issue, Vogel says: In the study, "younger women [under 25] and those returning to work full time in the first year were relatively likely to stop, as were those who originally planned to stop by age 6 months."
Doctors agree that any amount of breast-feeding -- even during just the first few weeks -- offers the baby a host of health and developmental benefits. To help new mothers get past the barriers to long-term nursing, WebMD turned to a lactation consultant and a pediatrician for advice.
How can mothers know whether they are producing enough milk?
Lactation consultant Cynthia Garrison, BS, IBCLC, of Magee-Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh, tells WebMD: "We often send mothers home with a "feeding log," a real simple chart where they can keep track of the numbers of feedings, wet diapers, and dirty diapers in a 24-hour period, so they see that it's falling within the ranges of normal.
"Because what goes in must come out, we instruct mothers that if baby is having 4-6 wet diapers within the first day, increasing [along with the baby's milk intake] to six to eight, and they're having at least two dirty diapers every day, then life is going quite well. They can be a little more relaxed and understand that as the baby matures, they will start spacing feedings out; they won't need to feed as often. The babies' stomachs are getting bigger."
Babies' elimination habits can vary, adds Andrea McCoy, MD, chief of pediatric care at Temple University Children's Hospital in Philadelphia. "So even though the baby may stool with every feeding, I caution mothers not to be overly concerned if the baby doesn't stool every day."
A good medical follow-up is essential for babies, because assuring that they are gaining enough weight is the best way to be sure the mother has an adequate milk supply, McCoy tells WebMD.
The baby's position while nursing is key, Garrison says. Mothers need to put them in a position in which they can reach the area an inch to an inch-and-a-half around the nipple. Otherwise, the baby is feeding on the end of the nipple, which causes the mother pain.

Like you already might guess, I wonder how I can hide certain pages, e.g. the disclaimer, in the sidebar.
I put a link to the disclaimer into the footer and that's why I don't want to have a second in my sidebar. I once tried to put the status of that page to "private", and yeah it disappeared from the sidebar BUT unfortunately the page couldn't be seen by other people than me...
Hope you understand my problem!

Stacey McKinley didn't care what anyone said or thought. The moment junior welterweight prospect Juan Urango walked into the gym, the trainer thought just one thing.
"I noticed that when I first got with him, he was a very powerful kid, and I looked at him and said, 'I'm gonna teach you to fight a certain style that only one person knows. With this style and your power, you're gonna be a force at 140 pounds,'" McKinley recalled. "You're trying to box now, but I don't want you to box. I'm going to teach you a whole new style."
It was like the mysteries of the world suddenly were going to be opened to the Colombian power puncher. He was going to be taught the way of Iron Mike.
"Basically what I'm doing is teaching him the style of Mike Tyson," said McKinley, a longtime assistant trainer for the former heavyweight champion.
"Number one is because of his power. Number two is because there are very few fighters that have an offense or defense against a fighter that fights that style. They don't know what's coming at them because they haven't seen it in the gym. They haven't been in the ring with anybody that does the movements, the slips, the rolls, and comes back with all that power. I was with Tyson almost 11 years, and it's paid off for him. And on top of that, it makes him a more exciting fighter because he has the look, the feel and the power."
There's no denying that Urango has the tools to make a mark in the 140-pound weight class in the coming years, but there was only one Tyson. Even the one McKinley worked with couldn't compare to the wrecking machine of 1986-89. So there has been some criticism.
"At first, he had a lot of criticism because people were saying 'Well, he's teaching you to fight like Mike Tyson,' and a lot of times when a trainer has worked with a great fighter like that, he wants to teach everybody how to fight like Tyson or fight like Ali," McKinley said.
"But I taught [Urango] to fight the way God made his body. I think his body shows that hey, this is what you're supposed to do. And I sat down with him and explained to him why I was doing this, and now he understands. He understands why the crowd is going crazy now, and he's a very, very exciting fighter to watch with that particular style."
That's for certain. If there were any doubts about the 24-year-old's ability to excite a crowd, they were erased after his 12-round battle with fellow unbeaten Mike Arnaoutis on ShoBox in August. It was one of those rare bouts in which two prospects meet head-on, and in an even rarer occurrence, both southpaws delivered on their promise when the bell rang. When it was over, the draw verdict was just, and both fighters gained fans -- but Urango is matter-of-fact when it comes to describing what that fight meant to his drawing power.
"From the time when I was an amateur to my professional career, my style of boxing has always been to put on a lot of pressure and be very aggressive," said Urango through translator Walter Lopez. "Being that that's the way I fight, it's something that's going to attract the public."
On Friday, Urango (15-0-1, 12 KOs) will attract more than his share of interest as he opens the "Heavyweight Heat" pay-per-view card (Showtime PPV, 9 p.m. ET/ 6 PT) in Hollywood, Fla. He faces slick New Yorker Andre Eason (15-3, 6 KOs) in a 10-rounder that could go a long way toward establishing him not only as a future title threat but as a fighter people will pay to watch.
Although Urango was given some trouble by a mover like Arnaoutis, he is not worried about dealing with the same problems from Eason.
"I really don't put too much thought into my opponent," Urango said.
"It doesn't really matter. What I put an emphasis on is me and my trainer having the same vision, and working out until my trainer is satisfied with me and me with myself, so we can perform well on the night of the fight. For the fighters that like to dance and move around the ring, my trainer's been working with me, especially for this fight, on angles and cutting the ring off."
And once Urango gets to you, he can hurt you. Just ask his last two foes, Ubaldo Hernandez (TKO2) and Francisco Campos (KO5). For the soft-spoken Colombian, though, there are no great secrets to his punching power.
"I walk around about 15 pounds over my fighting weight, but I can make the weight easily because it's something natural in my body," he said. "It's the same thing with my power; it's just something that's natural."
Nothing comes easy in this sport, though, and Urango, like any quality fighter, has spent hours, days, months and years honing his craft. He also has been a member of the Colombian armed forces, a footnote that says a lot about his discipline in and out of the ring.
"It relates a lot to what boxing is to me," said Urango of his time in the military.
"The military is something where you need discipline. If you lack discipline, it's going to go bad for you, and that's something I learned. If you put the right amount of work in and stay disciplined, things come out right most of the time, and that applies to my boxing career now."
McKinley agrees.
"Most of the fighters that have been to the military have the discipline and they also understand war," he said. "He has that killer instinct in him. My job is to bring it out, and it's been great working with him."
As an amateur, Urango was a five-time national champion and even held a victory over current WBO junior welterweight king Miguel Cotto. Urango doesn't gloat about the victory, though, admitting it will hold little water if the two meet in the pro ranks.
"I don't consider the amateurs to be anything compared to the pros," Urango said.
"When we fought, Miguel Cotto was more recognized than I was, but that didn't affect my confidence in knowing that I was a lot stronger and had a lot of brawling ability to just stand there and throw hands with anybody."
Turning pro in Colombia in 2002 at the age of 21, Urango walked through his first eight opponents via KO or TKO, with only one (Dagoberto Morales) sturdy enough to make it as far as the fifth round.
It was the perfect apprenticeship for a young fighter, and most would have been content to put up another 15-20 hometown victories against local competition before stepping to the next level. It's human nature. But Urango wanted more, and in addition to fighting better competition, he wanted to have an opportunity to make a mark worldwide, not just in Colombia, so he moved to Spain in 2003.
"In Colombia, professional boxing is somewhat abandoned," he said.
"There aren't a lot of open doors and opportunities over there. My manager got me the deal to go to Spain, and it was something I had to take advantage of. Once I got over there, I noticed that I didn't just fight people from Spain; I fought people from throughout Europe and from Africa. So it was a very good move for me and a good experience."
After two easy KO wins in Spain, Urango was matched tougher, with 9-1-1 Frank Oppong and 12-2 Leva Kirakosyan. Although he won both fights, he was forced to go six and eight rounds, respectively, and he probably learned more in those two bouts than he had in the previous 10 combined.
But America beckoned, and in 2004, Urango inked a deal with Florida's Warriors Boxing Promotions, then made his U.S. debut with a six-round decision over 15-0-1 Sergey Sorokin in June of that year.
Next came the Arnaoutis bout, and Urango was on his way. He moved to Florida in December, and although he misses his family and the comforts of home, he hopes that, with a little luck and a lot of hard work, he can bring them to the States to be with him.
"My focus and goals are on the boxing aspect of my career now," Urango said. "In the future, once I have a little money to make choices, I would like to bring my family here and have a life in the United States."
And unlike some young foreign fighters who get to the United States and run wild in cities where anything and everything can be had for a price, Urango is more mature than most, which is refreshing for McKinley.
"He found his religion, which was real good; he and Walter [Lopez] and all those kids are good friends, they all go to church together," McKinley said.
"He doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, he doesn't do all those type of things, so it makes the job a lot easier. But there's something deep inside of him that shows me that he really wants to be champion. He's a hard, hard worker, and I take all these things into consideration. He's mentally strong."
And if you ask most trainers, that's more than half the battle right there. Next comes experience. Urango is working on that right now.
"Experience is something that's priceless in professional boxing because it's something that can take you out of a lot of tight spots," Urango said.
"But I take care of myself outside of the boxing ring, and since I do that, with three or four months more training with my trainer, and with both of us on the same page, I can fight anybody."
McKinley figures that after a few more fights, his charge -- who is already the leading available contender to fight Ricky Hatton for the IBF title, and the fifth-ranked challenger to WBC champ Floyd Mayweather Jr. -- will be ready for the best in the division.
"It's true that he could fight basically anybody right now, but they don't understand that there are certain parts and certain moves in his techniques that I want him to master first," McKinley said.
"When he's mastered it, then I know he's ready for those guys. Physically he's ready, mentally he's ready, his skills are getting better, but when he masters this style -- and it takes time -- three more fights and we'll challenge any one of those guys."
That's just fine with the young man who is being called "Iron Twins."
"In this sport, everyone's goal is to claim the world championship," Urango said. "That's my goal, and once the doors and opportunities open up, whoever it is, I'm gonna walk in and take advantage of whatever shows up."

Santos Brasil Jumps After Earnings Beat Estimates: Rio Mover
Santos Brasil Participacoes SA, the country's largest shipping container operator, climbed to the highest in almost five months after earnings beat estimates as China-led demand boosted the country's commodity exports.
Santos, based in the namesake port city south of Sao Paulo, rose 4.2 percent to 29.89 reais today. Earlier it surged as much as 7.2 percent in Sao Paulo trading. The stock price is the highest since Sept. 9.
The company, which handles coffee, sugar and other exports from three Brazilian ports, reported rising revenue and profit as shipments from Latin America's largest economy increased.
Santos had "a strong set of results, combining good revenue growth and a hefty margin expansion," Renata Faber and Thiago Macruz, analysts at Sao Paulo-based Banco Itau BBA SA, said in a report yesterday. "The main positive highlight continues to be the warehousing operation, with a strong revenue growth relative to 2011."
Fourth-quarter net income climbed to 74.6 million reais ($43.4 million) from 58.1 million a year earlier, Santos said yesterday after markets closed. That exceeds the 52.9 million-real average estimate of five analysts compiled by Bloomberg.
Earnings per share of 56.9 centavos in the quarter exceeded an average estimate of 39 centavos, according to Bloomberg data.

This is sure to be a heart-warming read. Please bring questions, thoughts, comments - no formal presentations are necessary, but do expect to engage in some active listening and conversation. As always, dissenting opinions and thoughts are welcome, but I do expect participants to be respectful of each other as they express them.
Here is a brief summary of the book:
"The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao"
Things have never been easy for Oscar, a sweet but disastrously overweight ghetto nerd, a New Jersey romantic who dreams of becoming the Dominican J.R.R. Tolkien and, most of all, of finding love. But he may never get what he wants, thanks to the fukú — the ancient curse that has haunted the Oscar's family for generations, dooming them to prison, torture, tragic accidents, and, above all, ill-starred love. Oscar, still dreaming of his first kiss, is only its most recent victim - until the fateful summer that he decides to be its last.
With dazzling energy and insight, Junot Díaz immerses us in the uproarious lives of our hero Oscar, his runaway sister Lola, and their ferocious beauty-queen mother Belicia, and in the epic journey from Santo Domingo to Washington Heights to New Jersey's Bergenline and back again. Rendered with uncommon warmth and humor, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao presents an astonishing vision of the contemporary American experience and the endless human capacity to persevere - and to risk it all - in the name of love.
Now let's get to readin'!
Suggested Donation: $2/attendee
As stated in my profile, I'm a broke-ass grad student, and Meetup groups cost money to run (surprise!), so... if you can contribute a buck or two, please do! This increases the likelihood that I can continue this group despite my rotten budget. If you can't, don't sweat it - it wouldn't really be fair to exclude other broke-asses. If there are extra funds from donations over the year (i.e., if the amount collected exceeds the cost of the Meetup, which is $144/year), then I will use the remaining funds for something fun for the group, like drinks/snacks for a holiday get together at the year's end.
A little note on RSVPs:
If you have to cancel (life happens sometimes), please do so at least 24 hours in advance. That way space can be freed up for others who may wish to attend, but for whom there wasn't enough room. RSVPs cannot be changed after 9:00am on the day of the event, so be sure to change your RSVP well in advance of this! Also, if you are on the waiting list and other's change their RSVP to "no", you will be bumped up on the list, so make sure to check your status the day of the event. If you RSVP "yes" and don't show up 3 times (yes, I will be counting!), you will be excluded from future attendance. This is only fair for others who want to attend the meetings.
If an alternative meet-up for the wait-listers at a neighboring table doesn't work, I say we crash the party! Who's with me on this? What's Val going to do--throw the book at us? Come to think of it, she probably would. Hey, can you get black-listed from these things?

Does anyone want to suggest another Junot Diaz book? I read "Oscar Wao" last year and liked it, just looking for something good from the same author.

Someone mentioned the idea of a meet-up for the wait-listers. I think that makes sense.

Since folks are making book suggestions, anybody want to try Connie Willis' "To Say Nothing of the Dog", or does that sound just too absurd with the time travel thnig?
Or perhaps Ann Patchett's "State of Wonder"... let's go to the Amazon instead...

I would like to suggest "Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls." From the perils of French dentistry to the eating habits of the Australian kookaburra, from the squat-style toilets of Beijing to the particular wilderness of a North Carolina Costco, we learn about the absurdity and delight of a curious traveler's experiences. Whether railing against the habits of litterers in the English countryside or marveling over a disembodied human arm in a taxidermist's shop, Sedaris takes us on side-splitting adventures that are not to be forgotten. What do you all think???

Customer Finds
Location: Northwest
Metal Detector Used: Spectra V3i
Spectra V3i
Find Out More
On September 25th this year I dug my deepest ever silver half dollar at one of my favorite haunts which has been hunted by numerous detectorist's for many years. My Lesche tool was all the way down in the hole plus a couple inches before I broke loose the clod of dirt which had the 1941 half in it. I couldn't believe it cause it was actually coated with clay, it had settled about as deep as it could go cause throughout the entire ballpark you hit clay anywhere from 12-15". The original reading that I got from my V3i read half dollar and when I went to pinpoint it I though hmmmm this has to be something good. I just love finding them big silvers!!! The photo that shows my silver coins so far this year actually includes three half dollars, one of them got run over by a train it looks like, the 1947 half I found in the woods a couple weeks ago along with a nice silver GW and just a couple days before that I found the silver thimble in the same woods. White's detectors are the best in my book and I will always buy the best when it comes to metal detectors. I'm never intimidated by another VLF on the market when I'm out hunting, I've dumbfounded people at some of the finds I've made with my V3i since I've owned it right after they came out. About the only time I feel that I am up against competition is when there's another person hunting with the same. :) P.S. Here's the link to the post that I made on the Whites metal detecting forum the day that I found it http://forums.whiteselectronics.com/showthread.php?69838-September-25th-finds-from-the-ballpark&highlight=september+25th

This is the third part in a series about exposure and camera controls.
Inside the lens is an adjustable aperture - a hole, for lack of a better description. The diameter of the aperture controls the amount of light that strikes the sensor. The smaller the opening, the less light strikes the sensor, while a larger opening allows more light to strike the sensor.
Getting back - yet again - to the water analogy. (See water bottle graphic.) The numbered increments double or halve the amount of water (light) allowed through the pipe. This is done by varying the diameter of the pipe. (See graphic with aperture openings.)
The aperture numbers are called f/stops, the traditional settings are f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11 and f/16. Just like the shutter you can often set the f/stops in half increments. On most new cameras the f/stop is adjusted via a small rotating dial, while older cameras are controlled by a ring on the lens itself.
Geek alert: Although the information in this paragraph may be interesting, it is not imperative to comprehend in order to master the aperture. Feel free to let it go in one ear and out the other. Like the shutter, the f/stop settings are also represented in fractions but don't have as clear a meaning. While shutter speeds are simple fractions of a second, the f-stop is the focal length of the lens divided by the diameter of its opening (f/stop = A/FL). A 50mm lens set to f/4 would have an aperture diameter of 12.5mm (50mm X 1/4).
Enough with the math. If you don't like fractions, just remember the higher the number, the smaller the opening, and vice versa.
Aperture increments double or halve the amount of water (light) allowed through the pipe.
The bottle represents a digital sensor, the water represents light:
• An aperture setting of f/5.6 is double the needed amount of water
• Overexposed, in photospeak
• The perfect exposure requires an aperture setting of f/8. A setting of f/11 cuts the flow by 50%. The bottle is underfilled - and underexposed
Take a look at the accompanying photograph of the stone wall that illustrates three exposure outcomes:
• Overexposed (too much light, the photo is bright)
• Proper Exposure
• Underexposed (not enough light, the photo is dark)
No doubt you've seen photos where the subject was tack sharp but the background and/or foreground were out of focus. Depth of field is the term used to describe the sharpness in front and behind the point of focus. (See skateboarder photo at top of page.)
Depth of field is controlled by the aperture. A setting of f/11, a small opening, allows deep depth of field, where the background and foreground are sharp. This can be particular helpful when the background or foreground are vital, such as a scenic view. (See graphic of silhouettes.)
Shooting with the aperture wide-open, such as f/4, results in a shallow depth of field, which is great for portraits or other shots where the background is distracting or you want to isolate the subject.
In earlier blog entries, we explored the basic theories of camera control: ISO; exposure; and the shutter. And now we've covered the aperture.
Next week we'll bring it all together and explaining how they interact, giving you maximum control and the results you've always wanted.

The counselor also wrote that Brackett shot up heroin at least twice a day, and popped at least one Valium and one Xanax. Brackett agreed to a urine test, which, according to court documents, confirmed traces of those drugs. The clinic then started him on a 30 milligram dose of methadone. The intent was to curb his heroin cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
When Brackett returned to the clinic at 7 a.m. the next day, court documents say, a nurse gave him a 40 milligram dose, presumably because his cravings and symptoms hadn't ceased. He went home, to Canton, to rest. Brackett's live-in girlfriend walked into their apartment at 6 p.m. She found him dead on the couch. His autopsy listed the cause of death as "intoxication by multiple prescription medications, including methadone." The drugs allegedly had slowed Brackett's breathing until it stopped.
Brackett's parents, Barbara and Johnny, have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the clinic, Lakeland Centres Atlanta. In their supporting affidavit, the Bracketts include testimony from Dr. Donald Jasinski, head of the Center for Chemical Dependence at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. "The treatment center should have known that he was not a suitable patient," Jasinski's affidavit reads. "It is medically well-documented that benzodiazepines [Valium and Xanax] adversely and sometimes fatally interact with methadone."
If the court finds the clinic erred, it wouldn't be the first clinic in metro Atlanta to make so egregious a mistake. A Creative Loafing examination of state inspection and autopsy reports, along with interviews of government officials, clinic workers and patients, shows that some local methadone providers regularly disregard government regulations, endanger the lives they're supposed to improve and seldom face even the mildest penalties. Among the findings:
There were five methadone-related deaths in Fulton County last year (heroin deaths numbered 14). Four of the people who died were current or former patients at methadone clinics, including a 20-year-old who had been kicked out of a clinic the day before his death. The fifth victim died from the combined effect of methadone and Ecstasy.
Clinics regularly give methadone to patients who haven't proved an addiction, increase dosages without a physician's approval and provide take-home doses even to patients who were caught selling previous take-home doses on the street.
Some of metro Atlanta's 10 methadone clinics have gone up to four years without state inspections, and some have faced no penalties or follow-up visits despite reports of multiple violations of state and federal regulations. One was skewered in a 1995 inspection report citing "serious violations," but the state didn't get around to visiting again until last year.
"It's an open-air drug market in those clinics," says Bill Reeves, a former heroin addict who spent three years in a methadone treatment program. "They're worse than dope dealers. The way it's dispensed is wrong."
The German pharmacists who developed methadone during World War II didn't intend for the synthetic narcotic they created to be dispensed as a substitute for heroin. They were looking for a non-addictive painkiller to give soldiers during surgery. Methadone hydrochloride wasn't the alternative they had hoped for. It caused nausea and vomiting, and there was no indication that people wouldn't get hooked.
But soon after the war, American drug companies saw potential profits in methadone. An uneasy argument was born between the new narcotic as a therapeutic panacea and as just another dangerous addiction. Commercial production and clinical trials of the new painkiller began in 1945. Two years later, an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association warned: "We believe that unless the manufacture and use of methadon [methadone] are controlled, addiction to it will become a serious health problem."
In 1963, two American psychiatrists began using the drug to treat addicts of heroin and other opiates. The psychiatrists theorized that once someone becomes addicted to an opiate, he suffers a disorder like diabetes and therefore needs his respective "insulin." With methadone, a patient could reach a "maintenance" dose, usually between 80 milligrams and 150 milligrams, where he was addicted -- but would crave neither heroin nor an increase in methadone.
The U.S. Bureau of Narcotics threatened to shut down the experimental treatments, stating that they were illegal. Instead, the Food and Drug Administration and Drug Enforcement Administration passed strict regulations that would allow clinics to use the drug to treat opiate addicts. The logic was to pull the addict off the street -- away from crime and disease -- and into a "maintenance program" in a medically supervised clinic.
