Panel Urges HPV Vaccine for Boys
A federal advisory panel recommended Tuesday that boys routinely be vaccinated against human papillomavirus, or HPV, to protect them against certain types of cancer and to prevent sexual transmission of the virus to girls.
The vaccine, which emerged as an issue recently on the Republican presidential campaign trail, has been recommended for females ages 11 through 26 since 2006 for the protection it offers against cervical, oral and some other cancers.
About a third of girls between the ages of 13 and 17 have gotten the full three-dose regimen, while 49% have received one shot, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CDC immunization chief Anne Schuchat called those results "disappointing."
The lackluster demand stems from factors including parental resistance to a vaccine for youngsters that protects against a sexually transmitted virus, difficulties in getting teens to visit a doctor for immunizations and the vaccine's high cost for those whose insurance doesn't cover it, according to physicians and CDC officials.
Federal health officials are hoping a wider recommendation will help the vaccine to become more universally accepted. The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended Tuesday that boys ages 11 and 12 routinely receive Merck & Co.'s HPV vaccine, known as Gardasil. The vaccine protects against four strains of HPV, two of which are linked to cancer.
The advisory panel made its recommendation based partly on studies showing rising rates of anal and throat cancers that affect men and are associated with HPV infection, as well as evidence of the vaccine's protective effect. About 15,000 women and about 7,000 men suffer from cancers each year linked to the HPV virus.

Gardasil has been licensed for males ages 9 through 26 since 2009, but the advisory panel had been awaiting data on how well it worked before issuing a recommendation on it. Another HPV vaccine, GlaxoSmithKline PLC's Cervarix, isn't licensed for boys.
HPV vaccine made its way into Republican presidential politics a few weeks ago. Rep. Michele Bachmann suggested the vaccine could lead to "mental retardation" —an attack on rival candidate Gov. Rick Perry, who had ordered HPV vaccination for young girls in Texas in 2007, an order that was overturned.
Asked Tuesday at the advisory panel meeting if the HPV vaccine could lead to mental retardation, Eileen Dunne, a CDC official, said, "There is no evidence."
Getting boys immunized is likely to be even more of an uphill battle than it has been for girls, health officials and physicians say. The cancers the vaccine protects boys against aren't as common as cervical cancer, the disease it wards off for girls. And persuading boys to get a vaccine to protect girls against a sexually transmitted infection could be a tough sell. About 1.5% of boys ages 13 to 17 had been immunized by the end of 2010. "We don't expect quite as robust an initial uptake" in boys, Dr. Schuchat said.
Dr. Schuchat said the agency plans better education programs to promote the vaccine. "Part of our challenge has been a misunderstanding" that has led parents to think their daughters don't need a shot until they are sexually active, when in fact the shot can't protect them once they contract the virus, Dr. Schuchat said. One reason health officials promote the vaccine at such a young age is that "immune responses are strongest" then, she said.
Jay Siwek, vice chairman of the department of family medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center, said parents need to be convinced that the HPV vaccine is little different from other immunizations. "We vaccinate kids all the time against diseases that they don't get until adulthood," said Dr. Siwek, who isn't on the immunization advisory panel.

tuckered out
No baby2 news to report. Any contractions I was having late last week have stopped. We'll have to see what the doctor says on Wednesday. I know she isn't keen on just letting me go much past the 2nd. But, Aunt Kristin is back home. She has given him the 'all clear' so we will just have to see if it works. She is pretty damn persuasive.

I got the swing
baby2 update: I am 39 weeks today and the contractions are real now, but they are coming and going. Sometimes I have several an hour, sometimes nothing at all. Tomorrow I see the doctor that was on call when I was in labor with Morgan and inadvertently broke my water. I'm looking for a repeat performance. The only thing is my sister is way far away out of town through the weekend. :( Calling her to tell her I'm in labor while she is gone is going to be like telling her we weren't able to find out the sex of baby wait and see. Not cool. It's only a matter of time to see if baby2 is going to hold out for her.

Morgan: 23 months
- sings, sings, sings. Ring Around the Rosie and 10 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed are this months favorites.
- rocks the ABC's - minus E-K
- moved out of her crib to a big girl bed (mattress on the floor for now).
- won't sleep much past 7am. Birds start chirping at 6am and she seems to wake up shortly after - despite her blinds and windows being closed. I think it's funny that she still calls for us when she's awake, even though she is perfectly capable of getting out and coming over to our room. Like she needs permission to leave her bed.
- understands the context of 'okay' and uses it often. Has suddenly become very agreeable. :)
- although she has been quite whiny after school during the week. She doesn't always transition well from school to home.
- quickly moved on from 2 word phrases to full blown sentences. Much of which I've noticed are things we've said to her. Last Friday when Mark picked her up at school and they pulled into the driveway, she saw that his car was in the garage. She said "Daddy's already home!", something I've said when I see that Mark has beat us home after work. Mark reminded her that daddy was right there with her...pretty funny! On Monday, she passed by the laundry room, came in and said "Mommy, what are you doing? Laundry?"
- constantly wants to 'nack' (snack). Especially fruit and graham bunnies. She's a finicky eater again - thinks she will get a snack after dinner if she doesn't eat anything. No ah ah, kiddo. Eating 2 meals out of 3 is usually the best we can get.
- loves to rub mommy's belly and kiss her little brother. I can't believe she is going to be a big sister in the next 4 weeks. Or two years old for that matter.
- and the heartbreaker of the month: Yesterday while we were in the car on our way home from Lowe's, she said out of the blue, "Daddy, I love you" "Mommy, I love you"

May to-do's
It's crunch time! Baby2 is due in plus or minus 33 days and we haven't slowed down in the project department. Lots of little 'get ready for the baby' to-do's too, like laundry and packing our hospital bags.
The big must do this month is getting Morgan's new room in order. She's done really well this last week with getting used to her big girl bed (and has only rolled out a couple times without even waking herself) and now that we are all moved over into the 'new' side of the house, it's high time I start cranking on her permanent room, hopefully without too much confusion on her part. After the room gets measured for carpet this morning, I'm going in, paint roller in hand.
I've also started collecting storage boxes and bins for the kids toys and hope to get that set up soon - probably this weekend. I've already temporarily moved my scrapbook supplies to one of the cabinets in our new mudroom, so the bookshelf I want to use is ready to go. This will be a fun and easy 'sit on the floor and let Morgan help me organize her stuff' project.
Other things going on this month:
- Morgan's second birthday party
- manicures, pedicures and birthday shopping with my little almost 30 sis
- work on my Week in the Life album
- a long overdue haircut
- stock this place up with food and household essentials
- visit No Pins Required for cloth diapers for my kiddo's
That sounds manageable, right? I better get moving...
P.S. Thank you for all of the nice anniversary wishes. Mark and I had a wonderful dinner, just the two of us, at Cafe Cortina. Lots of laughing and talking and smiling. It was a perfect night. Huge thank you to Kristin for watching Morgan while we were out. And, you can expect some more (and far better quality) videos on the blog in the future. Mark got me a Flip MinoHD video camera for our anniversary. It's so bloody cute. I'm already driving Morgan nuts recording her - she just screams "no no no no" :)

On the Use of Graphic Scales in Modern Listening Tests
This paper provides a basis for discussion of the perception and use of graphic scales in modern listening tests. According to the literature, the distances between the adjacent verbal descriptors used in typical graphic scales are often perceptually unequal. This implies that the scales are perceptually non-linear and the ITU-R Quality Scale is shown to be particularly non-linear in this respect. In order to quantify the degree of violation of linearity in listening tests, the evaluative use of graphic scales was studied in three listening tests. Contrary to expectation, the results showed that the listeners use the scales almost linearly. This may indicate that the listeners ignore the meaning of the descriptors and use the scales without reference to the labels.

Republic Wireless is an American mobile virtual network operator that sells low cost mobile phone service which defaults to Wi-Fi and falls back to Sprint's cellular network. It is based in Raleigh, North Carolina.[1] In May 2016, it added a second cellular network, T-Mobile.[2] Created in January 2010 as a subsidiary of Bandwidth, the company announced it would provide a monthly subscription of $19 per month for wireless service with unlimited calling, texting, and data on a "Hybrid Calling" system.[3][4][5]
Republic Wireless began beta service on November 8, 2011 with the LG Optimus S[6] and later the Motorola Defy XT in July 2012.[7] On November 19, 2012, Republic Wireless ended its private beta and transitioned to an open, public beta.[8]
On November 14, 2013, Republic officially came out of its Beta testing period and began offering the Moto X for $299 with four new service plans starting at $5 per month.[9]
On March 13, 2014, Republic officially announced the release of their next phone the Moto G which will be priced at $149 for the 8GB and $179 for the 16GB version. The Moto G was released for sale on April 17, 2014.[10] Unlike Moto X which offers four service plans, Moto G offers only three service plans. (Moto G does not offer the 4G service plan.) On October 15, 2014, Republic released the Moto E pricing it at $99.[11] On November 26, 2014, Republic announced that they would be offering the 16 GB second generation Moto X for $399 beginning December 10 2014.[12] In July 2016, it adds a new line of Samsung, LG, and Huawei phones to its Motorola line.[2][13]
Hybrid calling[edit]
Wi-Fi networks are used as the primary data and connectivity source to the network, while the cellular network is used as a failover if no Wi-Fi networks are in range of the device. The model relies on a proprietary VoIP application for the Android operating system that has the ability to switch quickly between Sprint's CDMA mobile networks, free roaming, and WiFi, depending on which access network is available.[14]
Republic Wireless's current Terms of Service allow the company to reduce a user's speed for a billing period if they exceeds 5 GB of data while using cell twice during a six-month period. Effective September 10, 2014, a user also may not exceed more than 25 MB of roaming cellular data usage in any one-month billing cycle. Once they reach the 25 MB threshold, they will have no additional roaming cellular data usage during the remainder of the billing cycle.[15]
TechCrunch expressed excitement about the announcement and described the plan as potentially disruptive to the wireless markets. The publication described the "WiFi first" model as an attractive feature because of the prevalence of WiFi access and the superiority of WiFi connections over digital mobile networks, which they expect will improve call reception and clarity.[3] CNet wrote that the low price point would be "a home run" for parents who are interested in low-cost plans for young children.[6] The Atlantic was more hesitant, acknowledging that the price point would be attractive to some consumers but speculating that the low-cost business model may lead to unreliable service. The magazine also suggested that since Republic Wireless purchases its air time wholesale from Sprint, it is dependent on major telecommunications companies who may be inclined to limit the company's growth to prevent it from becoming too disruptive.[16]
PC World questioned Republic Wireless' marketing the plan as "unlimited" given the expectations that users monitor a "Cellular Usage Index" and remain within "fair use guidelines". The magazine faulted the company for advertising unlimited voice and data while simultaneously describing membership as a "privilege" and reserving the right to terminate users who crossed an undefined "fair use threshold".[17] MSNBC wrote that coverage will be unlimited on WiFi access but when on the mobile network, consumers will be held to a monthly limit of 550 minutes of voice, 150 SMS, and 300 megabytes of data or face termination of their subscription.[5] In December 2011, Republic Wireless eliminated this fair use threshold.[18]
ZDNet gave the company a 9 out of 10 star review in November, 2013 saying "You are unlikely to find a phone as capable and priced as low as the Republic Wireless Moto X...the service offerings are fantastic." [19] Republic also received the Laptop Magazine Editor's Choice Award and was cited "one of the best bargains in wireless." [20]
Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal gave rave reviews to Republic when they came out of Beta testing in November, 2013 saying this was a chance for callers to get "a top-tier, current-model smartphone with all the bells and whistles, and pay between $5 and $40 a month for unlimited voice, text and data." [21]
Huffington Post said Republic had true "stick it to the man potential" in a November, 2013 piece.[22] The article went on to say "The world needs a place where they have access to first class technology at a very low price ... Enter Republic Wireless."
The Art of Being Cheap claims Republic is "... Such a better deal than any other phone on the market, that there really are no viable competitors" in a November, 2013 piece once the company had come out of Beta.[23]
In April 2014, an article in The Wealth Gospel posited that Republic is "poised to be a disruptor in the mobile telecommunications market," citing that the company offers customers an opportunity to "shrug off the shackles of contracts and high monthly costs." [24]
On November 12, 2013, Republic was voted the Lifehacker Most Popular Pre-Paid/MVNO Carrier with 31% of the vote.[25]
Marguerite Reardon of CNET praised Republic's "cut-throat pricing", especially for consumers who only want voice and text, but faulted unreliable hand-off between Wi-Fi and cellular service, and small variety of available handsets, and said "customers who are having problems with the service never actually get to speak to a real human". [26]
In March 2014, Republic Wireless CEO David Morken said the number of customers subscribed to the company's service totaled several hundred thousand.[27][28] In 2014, it was the top-rated prepaid cellphone provider in the latest rankings by Consumer Reports.[29]

Google's instructions say to look for the php file that generates the confirmation info. I think this is ns_widget_mailchimp.class.php for the plugin? However, it says to put it within the <body> tags, but I can't see any there.

Update: Coyotes sign Connor Murphy to six-year extension
Coyotes GM John Chayka is putting the finishing touches on a productive off-season. Chayka was able to acquire Alex Goligoski, re-sign Shane Doan, sign Jamie McGinn, he improved his position in the draft by acquiring Pavel Datsyuk and also signed former King Luke Schenn.
Now, it sounds like he's close to locking up another piece of the puzzle. Connor Murphy's agent, Brian Bartlett, believes that his client will have a new deal with the Coyotes by the end of the week, according to Arizona Sports 98.7.
UPDATE: The Coyotes announced that they've re-signed Murphy to a new six-year contract.
"We are extremely pleased to sign Connor to a long-term contract," said Chayka, in a team release. "At only 23, Connor has established himself as a very good NHL defenseman. He's a great skater, a fierce competitor and he has an excellent work ethic. We look forward to him taking the next step and having him on our blue line for many years to come."
Financial details of the new agreement have yet to be disclosed.
Murphy is coming off his entry-level deal. He scored six goals and 17 points in 78 games with Arizona last season. The 23-year-old was the Coyotes' first round pick, 20th overall, back in 2011.
The Coyotes now have two restricted free agents to sign before the start of the season, as defenseman Michael Stone and forward Tobias Rieder also need new deals.
Stone and the Coyotes are scheduled to go to arbitration on Aug. 4, while negotiations between the club and Tobias Rieder don't seem to be going very well.
Marchand might be 'obnoxious,' but he helped convince Backes to sign in Boston
Brad Marchand is one of those players that you hate to play against, but you love him if he's on your team. That much is fairly obvious.
But last month, Marchand (as well as teammate Patrice Bergeron) proved to be effective recruiters for at least one free agent. David Backes admitted that the phone calls he received from the two veterans definitely helped him settle on the idea of joining the Bruins.
"Talking to [Marchand] a little bit during the interview process before July 1, I hung up the phone and kind of had to take a deep breath and say, 'Is that the little disturber, pain-in-the-butt? He's actually a pretty good guy," joked Backes, per the Bruins' website.
In an exclusive interview with CSN's Joe Haggerty, Backes reiterated that both Bergeron and Marchand are a "pain-in-the-butt" to play against, but he quickly added (with a smirk) that Marchand is more 'obnoxious' (click the video at the top of the page for the full interview).
So what exactly did Marchand and Bergeron say to Backes during the phone calls?
"Those guys are the best teammates when you get them on your team," Backes said of Marchand and Bergeron. "When they talk about sharing critical ice, and hard ice, and hard minutes with a couple of lines, to me that's what you need in this league."
Backes has always been known for his physical style of play, but at 32-years-old he may not be able to do all the dirty work for much longer. It sounds like both Marchand and Bergeron convinced Backes that the heavy lifting will be a team-effort, as opposed to a one-man or one-line thing.
Of course, the five-year, $30 million contract the Bruins gave Backes was also an effective recruiting tool.
Flames say there's still 'no real update' on contract talks with RFA forwards Monahan, Gaudreau
NHL training camps open in September and although most teams have done the bulk of their off-season tweaking, there's still at least one team that has some serious work to do.
The Calgary Flames are still working on signing forwards Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan to contract extensions. Both players are currently restricted free agents.
"No real update there," said general manager Brad Treliving, per the Calgary Herald. "We'll continue to work away at it."
The Flames have just under $15 million in cap space remaining, according to General Fanager. There's a good chance both RFA forwards will take a deep bite into those remaining dollars.
Monahan already said he'd be willing to take less money to get a deal done, but that doesn't mean he'll come cheap. The 21-year-old scored 58 goals and 125 points in 162 games over the last two seasons.
As for Gaudreau, he'll cost a pretty penny as well. The 22-year-old is coming off a season in which he scored 30 goals and 78 points in 79 games.
Here's an excerpt from the Herald regarding these two players:
With 11 weeks until the regular season begins, here is what we know:
• Both players are restricted free agents and received qualifying offers from the Flames earlier this month. Talks are ongoing.
• Both are expected to receive whopping raises.
• Both are seeking long-term contracts, expressing that they'd like to play together for the foreseeable future.
• Both could be getting paid in the neighbourhood of between $6-million and $7.5-million for between six and eight years (if you use the com parables of Vladimir Tarasenko, Filip Forsberg, Seth Jones, Aleksander Barkov, and Nathan MacKinnon).
Thankfully for Calgary, they've done a decent job of managing their roster and the cap. Gaudreau and Monahan are the only two players on the roster that still need new contracts. The rest of the team is locked up for at least one more year.
Edmonton will have a captain by opening night, says McLellan
After going without a captain last season, the Oilers will have someone wearing the "C" in 2016-17.
"Will we have a captain? Yeah, we will," head coach Todd McLellan said on Wednesday, per the Oilers' website. "We will have a captain."
The last player to serve as captain in Edmonton was Andrew Ference, who inherited the position from Shawn Horcoff in '13 and held it for two seasons.
Last year, the veteran blueliner appeared in just six games, and underwent season-ending hip surgery. He was in no position to serve in the club's leadership group and, ergo, the Oilers opted to play without a captain.
So… who will be next to wear the "C?"
Most are thinking about Connor McDavid. Though he's not publicly campaigning for the role, the 19-year-old did say it would "be one of the greatest honors. " Though he missed significant time to injury last year, McDavid still enthralled Oilers fans with a rookie campaign that saw him rack up 48 points in 45 games, finishing as a Calder Trophy finalist.
Of course, there will be others in the mix.
Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Matt Hendricks have all served as alternates in Edmonton, and Hendricks captained the U.S. at this year's world championships. There's definitely some leadership to choose from, and it's worth noting Eberle is one of the most vested veterans in Edmonton, having appeared in 425 games over the last six seasons.

Pound Erases Drop After Service Sector Expands; Gilts Decline
The pound erased a decline against the dollar and gilts fell after a report showed U.K. services grew more than analysts estimated in May, damping speculation that the Bank of England will add stimulus to boost the economy.
Sterling advanced for a fourth day against the yen before the central bank announces its latest policy decision. Of 42 economists surveyed by Bloomberg, 37 forecast that the Monetary Policy Committee will keep its bond-purchase target on hold at 325 billion pounds ($503 billion). Citigroup Inc., Deutsche Bank AG, and Morgan Stanley are among banks that predict an expansion of the so-called quantitative-easing program.
"The case for not changing the amount of stimulus has been reinforced by the resilience in the service sector," said Jeremy Stretch, head of currency strategy at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in London. "For now it would make sense for the BOE to keep their powder dry and wait to see how events develop over the next month or two. If we see no change, we might see a little bit of a leap in sterling because some people are expecting more" asset purchases.
The pound was little changed at $1.5509 as of 11:07 a.m. London time, after falling as much as 0.4 percent. It reached $1.5269 on June 1, the lowest level since Jan. 13. Sterling strengthened 0.5 percent to 123.27 yen. Britain's currency was little changed at 81.14 pence per euro, after declining 0.3 percent yesterday.
Services Expansion
A gauge based on a survey of purchasing managers remained at 53.3 from April, Markit Economics and the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply said in a report today in London. The median estimate of 27 economists in a Bloomberg News survey was for a decline to 52.4. A measure above 50 indicates expansion.
Markit's manufacturing gauge on June 1 fell more than economists forecast to 45.9, the lowest since May 2009. A construction index released yesterday slipped to 54.4 from 55.8.
The service sector data "reduces the pressure on the Bank of England to act," Christian Schulz, an economist at Berenberg Bank in London, wrote in a note.
Policy makers will leave the benchmark interest rate at a record-low 0.5 percent, where it has been since March 2009, a separate survey shows.
The yield on 10-year gilts rose two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 1.68 percent. The 4 percent bond due March 2022 fell 0.19, or 1.90 pounds per 1,000-pound face amount, to 120.76. The yield declined to a record 1.439 percent on June 1.
"The addition of stimulus today is a very close call because the U.K. economy is going through a very weak period," said Gavin Friend, a markets strategist at National Australia Bank Ltd. in London. "We don't think they will add stimulus, but if they do, the pound would weaken, particularly against the euro."
Benchmark Rate
Sterling has declined 1.3 percent in the past month, the second-biggest drop after Sweden's krona among 10 developed-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The yen rose 4.2 percent, the biggest gain, and the dollar added 3.6 percent. Sterling is still up 1.6 percent for the year to date.
"The pound remains under downward pressure," Lee Hardman, a currency strategist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd. in London, wrote in a client note today. "The sharp turnaround in the pound's performance over the past month has coincided with renewed expectations of further monetary easing from the BOE."
While the U.K. economy has weakened, the pound has advanced 2.9 percent against the euro in the past three months as investors seek a haven from the crisis in the 17-nation currency bloc. It reached 79.51 pence on May 16, the strongest level since November 2008.
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said yesterday that officials stand ready to act as the growth outlook worsens in the euro area, Britain's biggest trading partner. While the ECB left its benchmark rate at 1 percent, Draghi said "a few" governing council members sought a cut.
Gilts have returned 2.8 percent this year, according to indexes compiled by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies. German bunds rose 3.8 percent.

Yandex (YNDX -0.6%) CEO Arkady Volozh claims the Russian search king plans to take on Google (GOOG) in emerging markets where its market share often exceeds 90%. Yandex's first target is Turkey, where it currently has just 1% of the market. As Baidu can vouch, expanding into foreign search markets where a different language is spoken is often easier said than done.

My question is based on the Vuforia cloud recognition services, specifically the Recognition Events per month.
If you see the following page: https://developer.vuforia.com/cloud-recognition-service
You will notice that there is a 3000 recognition per month. Assuming I am making one app with a requirement of 3000+ recog./month, is there another alternative and legal way for me to achieve a cloud based recognition service?
Basically, could I have my own server, where the target images are stored and the application looks for the target images on that server? Won't this enable me to have a 3000+ limit?
Sorry if the question is unclear.
Thank you.

I have had a super admin create a user with name "user name" in the top level site. The user is set as a subscriber.
But when my client goes in to the backend of a blog created under the main site (say "child1"), then tries to add that existing user through the "Add New User"page with the following user details:
Username (required): "user name"
Email: Same email address as specified when registered was first regiwtered as user.
Role: Subscriber
trying to save this user the following error message is thrown:
"Only the lowercase letters a-z and numbers allowed
Sorry, that username already exists!
Sorry, that email address is already used!
Yet WP 3 allowed a user name with a space when the top level account was creqated.
Also at the top of the "Add New User" page it says:
You can add new users to your site in two ways:
1. Enter the username and email address of an existing user on this site.
2. Enter the username and the email address of a person who is not already a member of this site. Choose the username carefully, it cannot be changed.
That person will be sent an email asking them to click a link confirming the invite. New users will then be sent an email with a randomly generated password and a login link.
Is this a bug or what am I missing here. Is there a simpler way to add a whole bunch of users at the top "super admin" level then assign them to one or more sub-blogs without this crap happening?
If the space in the user name is the problem why did WP 3 allow it to be registered via the top level (ie super admin) add user page.
Any pointers appreciated.

GWAR, All The Pretty Horses, and more
Triple Rock Social Club
Brooklyn's Yeasayer has so much madness happening in its chameleonic music that it's almost illicit. Was their 2007 debut, All Hour Cymbals (We Are Free), the unlikely future of freak-folk? Sting-friendly world-pop? Avant-garde posturing? Twisted Americana? The nth stoned coming of Brian Wilson? White tribalism run amuck? The answer's probably something like "all of the above," which makes it difficult to settle on a definitive, ultimate opinion of Yeasayer. From song to song—and sometimes from movement to movement—it's a different band, as if a propensity for perpetual identity crises were a key facet of the quartet's DNA. What's for sure: These guys aren't your run-of-the-mill indie-outsider weirdoes. They're on to something, even if exactly what that something is remains unclear. With Chairlift. $16. 9 p.m. 629 Cedar Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612.333.7399. —Ray Cummings
Some anecdotal evidence that OneRepublic is 2008-quality huge, even if it isn't moving U2 units: Both my wife and my mother-in-law have "Apologize" ringtones. Like peers the Fray, this Colorado-based band blow bumper-sticker sized emotions and clichés up into billboard-width anthems: Electric and acoustic guitars are lacquered within an inch of their lives, pianos and keyboards enable universalized anthems and stadium-ready hooks. Having photogenic Ryan Tedder front and center as lead singer doesn't hurt matters; he projects a passionate blandness that's difficult to resist, in a Daniel Powter/Coldplay sense. So OneRepublic—God, even its name suggests a meaningless utopian otherverse that doubles as an all-encompassing Starbucks outlet, or something—numb, narcotize, placate. And if you're honest with yourself, you'll accept that they'll probably never be any more famous than they are right now; a thousand comers in the same Adult Contemp Lite vein are waiting in the wings, just waiting to snare an MOR crown that never gathers dust. With Augustana, the Spill Canvas, and the Hush Sound. $27.50-$30. 5 p.m. 3090 Southlawn Dr., Maplewood; 651.779.6984. —Ray Cummings
All The Pretty Horses
331 Club
Venus DeMars's stage clothes consist of those kinky corsets that usually sit dusty in our closets until 3 a.m. rolls around. And damn if those 30 hooks and eyes aren't tough to manipulate with boozy double vision. But Venus reminds us we that ought to unleash our inner fetishists more often. And what better time to liberate our fishnets and (fake) leather boots than Hallo-freakin'-ween whilst watching Venus and All the Pretty Horses' Placebo-meets-Bauhaus rock 'n' roll? As if we needed more incentive, sharing the bill are those spazzy noise folks from Gay Witch Abortion. And it's free! Remember to take it slow so we don't throw up. Oh, screw it. Another round! With the Funeral and the Twilight. 21+. Free. 9 p.m. 331 13th Ave. NE, Minneapolis; 612.331.1746. —Erin Roof
First Avenue
Everyone's idea of what is cool and fun differs from time to time, right? For some this Halloween weekend, it involves gallons upon gallons of fake blood hosing down the First Avenue crowd, among many other feigned bodily fluids, as GWAR and their leader Oderus Urungus unleash their brand of visceral and hilarious sci-fi-horror-themed thrash metal to the soon-to-be soaked masses. It's an insane spectacle that needs to be seen at least once, if not multiple times. First-timers should be warned to stay away from the pit unless they know the drill—make sure to wear your crappiest clothes and prepare for it to rain all sorts of fake nasty and to take in a stage show that is honestly second only to Alice Cooper's live theatrics of yore. Yeah, it's inappropriate for children, not for the faint of heart, and absolutely gross. But it's awesomely gross. With Kingdom of Sorrow, Toxic Holocaust. All ages. $18/$21 at the door. 5 p.m. 701 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612.332.1775. —Jen Paulson
First Avenue
Figures that Atmosphere would deliver their best album in time to become a self-contained phenomenon. Despite festivals, late-night appearances, sell-out tours, and a slow-week debut in the Billboard Top 10, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold (Rhymesayers) is a three-stars-now, four-stars-later fan record that will one day be pried from its status as a treasured secret. Meanwhile, Atmosphere shows at First Avenue have become parties for people who go to Atmosphere shows at First Avenue. Yet there's so much here for the curious walk-up crowd: slide guitar, flutes, electro synths, Tunde Adebimpe backup vocals—Ant makes them all sound like blues under Slug's husky vocals, which have never sounded more at ease with the power of a perfectly put couplet. He raps about those cravings for love and oblivion where we all began and will end, about the people we can't help caring about—the larger circle you call "family" when you're in a charitable mood. His honesty is shocking, at a time when honesty is about the only thing left in hip hop that can shock us. And Lemons turns this compassionate mercilessness on fictional characters, though you can hear autobiography in his cigarettes-as-pimps song, his galactic-hangover-as-disillusionment one, and in the little girl being rocked to sleep by hip hop to drown out her fighting parents. "Daddies drive around, mommies work night shift" isn't his debut as singer, but it's the first Atmosphere song where you can imagine Mary J. Blige picking up the melody, and her audience should find this. With Abstract Rude, Blueprint, DJ Rare Groove. All ages. $20. 5 p.m. 701 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612.332.1775. —Peter S. Scholtes
Bob Dylan
Northrop Auditorium
Even by the unparalleled standards of an icon such as Dylan, this show has the potential to be something extraordinary. It has all the makings of being "special" in ways far more specific than the "special" Pulitzer Prize he received earlier this year: not for music, not for poetry, but for being an influential, apparently amorphous cultural phenomenon. Anyway, this is widely touted as the first time Dylan will have ever performed on the University of Minnesota campus, even though he went to school there briefly and launched his career in nearby Dinkytown on the cusp of the 1960s. Also, the concert is scheduled to start at the same time the local polls close in one of the most important elections in the nation's history. Will Dylan, an enthusiastic Obama supporter, select an appropriate repertoire as the results come in? Will the times really be a-changin', or will a simple twist of fate mean that it's all over now (baby blue) and we'll have to deal with masters of war for another four years? If last summer's shows are any indication, Dylan and his band will likely juggle lots of classics (some radically reshaped) with more recent stuff. That will probably include tunes from the recently released Tell Tale Signs: The Bootleg Series Vol. 8 (Columbia), a sprawling, endlessly intriguing assortment of rare and unreleased tracks dating from 1989-2006. $66-$86. 8 p.m. 84 Church Street S.E., Minneapolis; 612-624-2345. —Rick Mason
Gang Gang Dance
7th St. Entry
Brooklyn's Gang Gang Dance aren't beholden to any particular style or scene; this foursome brew their own inimitable sonic pilsner. Into the (world) musical crock-pot go Middle Eastern themes, acid techno, cracked synth-pad and guitar-struck runoff, and frontwoman Liz Bougatsos's exotic yelp. New album Saint Dymphna (Social Registry) shrugs off those barely-on-the-leash fractal spasms previous releases like Revival of the Shittest and God's Money led listeners to expect. The under moored, reverb-drenched pulsations of old have been replaced by a slicker, poppier sound one could actually imagine folks who aren't hipsters/Wire readers/free spirits giving a second listen and getting down to. Last year's disappointing RAWWAR EP offered hints that GGD might be going in this direction, but Dymphna does a much better job of forging a connection to the band's earlier material. Plus, they brought in a rapper, and the resulting collabo works. With Marnie Stern. 18+. $12. 8 p.m. 701 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612.332.1775. —Ray Cummings

Maximum Overdrive
|Horror, Classic, Suspense/Thriller
|Release Date:
|January 1, 1986
|Running time:
|97 minutes
|Emilio Estevez
|Stephen King
|Stephen King
Description: Writer-director Stephen King falls short in his debut at the helm with Maximum Overdrive, an absurd tale about a radiation storm that somehow animates machines across the world, causing them to turn on their makers. The film focuses on a group of survivors held captive at the Dixie Boy Diner by a group of bad-tempered semis. Led by Emilio Estevez, the diner-goers do their impression of Ten Little Indians, waiting their turn until each gets bumped off one by one. There are holes in the plot big enough for the semis to drive through; for example, why don't the trucks run over the diner at the start of the film rather than wait for ninety minutes? Maximum Overdrive's only distinction is that it is, without question, one of the worst films released in the '80s.~ Jeremy Beday, All Movie Guide

Not sure if I'm doing this right:
/(https?:\/\/\S+)(\s|(& nbsp;))?/g;
This should match a URL beginning with http(s):// and ending with a space character or a & nbsp;
So the problem is this part:
(\s|(& nbsp;))?
That should mean: match either a white space or a & nbsp; but it doesn't work. It never matches for a & nbsp; and just continues until it finds a white space.
I'm not looking for any other http regexp, I'm not looking for a javascript library solution, I'm happy with this, I just want to figure out that last portion.
Edit: some kind of bug in the code formatting on this site, there isn't a space between & and nbsp; but this site turns it into a space if I get rid of that separating space.

I just started cloth diapering yesterday and my inserts already have stains after one use. I am doing a trial and used a BG 4.0 insert, a Rumparooz pocket insert and a couple of Flip Stay Dry inserts. All of them have stains. I used 2.4 tablespoons of Rockin Green Hard Rock. I rinsed the poop out right after I changed the diaper in the utility sink (no sprayer yet), rinsed in cold, and washed with 2 rinses. I know I can put them in the sun to get the stains out, but is there something I can do in my wash routine to help prevent them from happening every time? DS is 3 months and EBF. Also, it's summer right now, but I live in Minnesota. What do you do about stains in the winter if you can't put them in the sun?
Any advice is appreciated.

Cyber Attacks Test Pentagon, Allies and Foes
Cyber espionage has surged against governments and companies around the world in the past year, and cyber attacks have become a staple of conflict among states.
U.S. military and civilian networks are probed thousands of times a day, and the systems of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization headquarters are attacked at least 100 times a day, according to Anders Fogh Rasmussen, NATO's secretary-general. "It's no exaggeration to say that cyber attacks have become a new form of permanent, low-level warfare," he said.
More than 100 countries are currently trying to break into U.S. networks, defense officials say. China and Russia are home to the greatest concentration of attacks.
The Pentagon's Cyber Command is scheduled to be up and running next month, but much of the rest of the U.S. government is lagging behind, debating the responsibilities of different agencies, cyber-security experts say. The White House is considering whether the Pentagon needs more authority to help fend off cyber attacks within the U.S.
"The Obama administration is very focused on this. The president has designated [cyber security] as a critical national asset," said an Obama administration official, adding that agencies responsible for cyber security have been staffing up, including Homeland Security's development of SWAT teams to respond to cyber attacks on critical infrastructure. "Not only do we have a strategy, but we have moved beyond that to implementation."
NATO's systems are behind the U.S.'s, said one person familiar with U.S. assessments of NATO's systems after a recent trip the deputy defense secretary made there. "The Chinese totally owned them," this person said, adding that NATO hadn't installed many of the basic network security patches, because it had decided some of its computers were too important to ever turn off.
NATO spokesman James Appathurai denied Friday that the alliance's computers were regularly compromised. Apart from a couple of disruptions to its public website, there have been no successful infiltrations of NATO's classified systems, he said.
In the U.K., "we expect to see increased resources for cyber-security operations as part of the upcoming security and defense spending review, and hope to work even more closely with the U.S. on such operations," said Sir Nigel Sheinwald, British ambassador to the U.S., on Friday.
Meanwhile, cyber weapons are being developed at a rapid pace. Many countries—including the U.S., Russia, China, Israel, the U.K., Pakistan, India and North and South Korea—have developed sophisticated cyber weapons that can repeatedly penetrate and have the ability to destroy computer networks, cyber-security specialists say.
Some U.S. intelligence officials and analysts worry that cyber weapons may become the next "loose nukes" problem. "The question is: When will these leak to al Qaeda?" said James Lewis, a cyber-security specialist at the Center for Strategic and International studies who regularly advises the Obama administration. "These are very tightly controlled, but some number of years from now, nonstate actors will have really good stuff."
After Russia's 2007 cyber attacks on Estonia and its 2008 attacks on Georgia during their brief war, U.S. officials concluded that cyber attacks had become a staple of modern warfare.
In the past year, cyber attacks have accompanied a host of geopolitical scuffles. India and Pakistan are attacking each other in cyberspace almost daily, attempting to take down websites with denial-of-service attacks. Among the victims have been Indian police websites, an industry cybersecurity specialist said.
As tensions rise between China and Japan, hackers in both countries have lobbed cyber attacks at each other this month, with Chinese denial of service attacks on Japan's Defense Ministry, as well as its trade ministry and others. Earlier this year, a Kuwaiti hacker attacked a handful of Israeli banks.
The recent computer worm dubbed Stuxnet was the first public example of cyber weapons targeting software for computer-control systems. Most of the systems infected were in Iran, and analysts have speculated that the worm was targeting Iran's Bushehr nuclear facility.
Such weapons could also be used to target software running petroleum refining and production facilities, one industry cyber specialist said.
Stuxnet alarmed officials both in the Pentagon and U.S. industry, because it targeted the core of industrial computer-control systems. "Instead of messing with the nervous system, you're going right to the brain now," one U.S. official said.
Gen. Keith Alexander, the chief of the new U.S. Cyber Command told a congressional panel this week: "What concerns me the most is destructive attacks that are coming, and we're concerned that those are the next things that we will see."
The danger, Gen. Alexander said, is that such attacks can do damage that is difficult to reverse and can't be fixed by blocking Internet traffic, destroying computers and other automated devices connected to the Internet before the government or a company can respond.
"That could cause tremendous damage," he said. "If that were to happen in a war zone, that means our command and control system and other things suffer."
Another danger, he said, is that such an attack could be mounted on the U.S. electrical or banking sector, and the affected company would largely be on its own to defend itself.
The White House is still trying to figure out how the government could aid the response to an attack on the private sector. If there were an attack today, Gen. Alexander said, his Cyber Command does not have the authority to respond to it.
"We need to come up with a more dynamic or active defense," he said. "That is what we are working on right now." The Cyber Command is developing a response model, he said, that Homeland Security and the White House might seek to adapt to the civilian sector.
John Sawers, the head of MI6, Britain's foreign intelligence service, told a private meeting of a U.K. parliamentary panel this year that "the whole question of cyber security is shooting up everybody's agendas," and that it is "a major new challenge to the intelligence community."
Jonathan Evans, his counterpart at MI5, the domestic security service, said, "I don't think we are where we need to be."
NATO also needs to develop the means to identify attacks in the early stages and to better detect the source of any attacks, Mr. Rasmussen said. It has set up a new department to cope with the issue: the Emerging Security Challenges Division.
The growth of the threat is prompting calls for an international agreement to limit cyber attacks.
Nigel Inkster, a former senior MI6 official, now with the International Institute of Strategic Studies in London, said an agreement needed to establish thresholds beyond which a cyber attack would be deemed to constitute an act of aggression.
Jamie Shea, head of policy and planning in Mr. Rasmussen's office, has also called for an agreement to establish an international consensus on limiting and punishing cyber attacks. Through a U.N. working group, the U.S., China, Russia and other countries have taken initial steps to devise ground rules for cyber crime and cyber warfare.

MIAMI -- In the biggest Miami police scandal in a generation, a federal jury convicted four officers of corruption Wednesday for planting a gun on an unarmed homeless man who was shot by police or lying about it to protect their colleagues.
Three officers were acquitted of all charges in a second shooting. U.S. District Judge Alan Gold declared a mistrial for four other officers. The jury had failed to reach a unanimous decision on all charges against three of them and was split between acquittals and deadlocks on the fourth.
The four convicted officers face up to 10 years in prison on obstruction of justice charges at sentencing Aug. 22.
The officers were charged after four police shootings in the mid-1990s left three men dead and another wounded. The jury cleared officers in the shooting death of an elderly drug suspect, who died in a hail of more than 100 bullets.
The 11 officers, once members of elite undercover squads, stood with stony expressions as the verdicts were read.
Attorney Al Levin winced and shook his head in disbelief after his client, Oscar Ronda, was convicted on three of four counts against him. "I'm totally and completely devastated," said Levin.
Jurors left the building without commenting.
Officers Alex Macias and Rafael Fuentes, who were acquitted, expressed empathy for their convicted colleagues.
"The ones that should be under indictment should be the government for all the lying and tampering they have done," Macias said.
Attorneys for the convicted officers said they were disappointed with the verdicts, while the lawyers for those acquitted claimed victory. The convicted officers refused comment.
"I'm disappointed. I don't think the jury understood the issue of conspiracy," said Hugo Rodriguez, attorney for convicted officer Jesse Aguero.
Richard Sharpstein, who represented convicted officers Art Beguiristain and Jorge Castello, said he was confident the judge will issue directed verdicts of acquittal after a hearing set for May 14.
Miami police chief John Timoney said three of the convicted officers will be fired, one already has been and the rest would remain on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. Timoney said he remained concerned with the actions of the acquitted officers after the shootings.
The trial was the "end of criminal process for those four individuals," Timoney said. "However it's the beginning of the administrative review and investigation by our internal affairs unit."

In deriving a formula I've come up with an expression that I need to prove, specifically:
$$(-1)^n = \sum_{j=1}^n (-1)^j \binom{n+1}{j+1} j^n$$
where $n$ is a positive integer.
This seems remarkably simple to me, and considering that I'd never seen it before I didn't believe it, but upon checking numerically it seems true.
If this is true, why is it true?

This is a follow up to a previous post. After some earlier trouble with performance, I reinstalled by blog on yahoo web hosting. I disabled most of the plugins, etc, so that I could be sure what the cause of the problems was. Things proceeded fine. I managed to get to import my blogger posts using the import utility. Things started slowing down a little (very little) when I started changing all my old posts from "uncategorized" to specific tags using the WP "manage" page. Somewhere along the way there, the perforance went into the tank. Its taking me 105 seconds to load the dashboard from the "site admin" link on front page. I only have 43 posts (imported about 50 or so but deleted about 7 or 8). Under the manage menu when I try and change months, it takes about a 100 seconds and then I get a blank page. After this I can't access my blog till for a bit.
I am using WP RC2 (which is what Yahoo is installing by default)
I know I am repeating myself, but this is very frustrating. Any explanations? MySQL issues?

Tawny Roberts fans.
Bobby Soporno's back, and he's layin' down the law: No fuckin' his daughter Tawny Roberts. He tells Herschel Savage to whack the guy, Tony Tedeschi, who's doin' her, and when Savage balks, Soporno says he's gonna do it himself.
When Bobby draws down on Tony, Tedeschi denies doing the deed, and has a gun of his own to back it up. Of course, Tawny is doing somebody else right then - on the premises yet - and pulls her clothes on to see what's going on out there. What's going on out there is a gunfight leaving Tedeschi dead and Soporno wounded. Turns out Tony's been hallucinating a lot lately, as he tells his shrink, and even hallucinates Roberts doing doctor Steve Hatcher, and wife Shayla LaVeaux in congress with chickenshit henchman Herschel Savage and suddenly-alive-again dead guy Tony Tedeschi before the tape is out.
Tape has its shortcomings, but Rob Spallone's Bobby Soporno is always watchable and Tawny Roberts contributes enthusiastic sex scenes. Music adds value as well.

Obama Picks Enthusiastic Drug Warrior for Attorney General
In a misleading article published by The Washington Post, attributing increased violence to marijuana rather than its real source marijuana prohibition, Holder is quoted as asserting that, "we have too long taken the view that what we would term to be minor crimes are not important," as he advocated more active enforcement along with stiffer penalties for marijuana offenses. Also, The Washington Timesreported that, "Eric Holder yesterday said he will seek to make marijuana distribution in the District a felony and reinstate mandatory-minimum sentences for convicted drug dealers. Mr. Holder … said the D.C. Council's vote a year ago to repeal mandatory minimums was 'misguided,' leading to a backlog in the court system. He also warned that the city is on the verge of an explosion in violence associated with the sale and use of marijuana."
The war on people who use certain kinds of drugs is the most racist institution in modern America. How ironic and sad that our first black president has appointed as the nation's chief law enforcement officer another black man who so enthusiastically supports the racism inherent in drug prohibition.
