Eddie Kantar Teaches Topics by Kantar
Book DescriptionKantar's two-book series on Bridge Defense (Modern Bridge Defense and Advanced Bridge Defense) won an ABTA Book of the Year Award in 1999. This newer book addresses a more popular topic, using a similar approach. While not a comprehensive treatment of declarer play at bridge, this book deals with specific topics exhaustively, and will be invaluable to the improving player: finesses (when and how to take them, and equally importantly, when to avoid taking them), endplays, eliminations, issues with entries, suit establishment, and counting. Designed to be used by bridge teachers, or by students learning on their own, this book like its predecessors contains a host of features that help the student to grasp the material: clearly laid-out concepts, margin notes, practice hands, chapter-end quizzes, key-point summaries at regular intervals, and an index. Kantar's various beginner books have sold hundreds of thousands of copies, not least because of his unique writing style and the humor that he introduces into the learning process. Eddie Kantar Eddie Kantar (Santa Monica, CA) is one of the most popular and prolific bridge writers in the world. A winner of two World Championships, and a member of the Bridge Hall of Fame, his many books include Modern Bridge Defense, Advanced Bridge Defense, the hilarious Kantar on Kontract, and of course, Roman Keycard Blackwood. His work appears regularly in many bridge magazines around the world.

Ahmed Elgendy thinks this is interesting:
: But don't we always just store the reference we get from a function expression in a variable anyway?
Function: Definitely not. In fact, we usually don't. Remember a function reference is a value. Think of the kinds of things you can do with other kinds of values, like an object reference for instance. I can do all those things too.

Starting this week, we'll be highlighting the five finalists in the poetry category for the BTBA. Similar to what we did for the fiction longlist, these will be framed by the question: "Why should this book win?"
Click here for all past and future posts in this series.
Today's post is by poetry committee member Kevin Prufer.
The Book of Things by Aleš Šteger, translated by Brian Henry
Language: Slovenian
Country: Slovenia
Publisher: BOA Editions
Pages: 92
Why This Book Should Win: The poems in Aleš Šteger's The Book of Things focus with nearly comic intensity on an array of everyday objects—an egg, a coat, a toothpick, a stomach. Here, a potato recollects the soil it came from. Or a hand dryer speaks a windy language we can't quite understand. Or a doormat forgives us all. But Šteger's poems go far beyond mere comic description, personification, or metaphor. Rather, his objects reflect our own strange complexities—our eagerness to consume, our rationalizations and kindness. Our many cruelties and our grandiosities.
Each of these fifty poems (the book includes seven sections of seven poems plus one introductory "proem" titled "A") fixates with obsessive detail on a different, focusing on the turnings of its imagined mind. A loaf of bread "asks you to do him harm, for you to stab him / To shred him to pieces, consume his still warm body." "Yes, yes," Šteger concludes, "he loves you, that is why he accepts your knife. / He knows that all his wounds crumble in your hand." Or, of a pair of windshield wipers, he writes: "Both of them hide something, / That is why they move in such harmony. / Like two serfs in black rubber boots."
At times playful or grimly serious, the effect of these poems slowly gathers until one has the sense not of looking at everyday objects anew, but of being looked at anew by the once inconsequential objects that surround us. And, reflected in their many, multifaceted eyes, we do no fair well.
Šteger's The Book of Things is harrowing and hilarious, unnerving and weirdly familiar—and, most of all, ambitious in its attempt to look anew into our all-too-human darkness. And translator, Brian Henry (himself a poet of significant talent) renders these poems beautifully into an English that is both colloquial and disconcertingly plainspoken.
Prose translators will likely disagree, but I believe translating poetry requires a significant level of talent, a commitment to the text, and near mania, all of which suggests that the undertaking is the greatest possible challenge. The task is to. . .
The biggest issues with books like The Subsidiary often have to do with their underpinnings—when we learn that Georges Perec wrote La Disparition without once using the letter E, we are impressed. Imagine such a task! It takes a high. . .
Following The Infatuations, Javier Marías's latest novel seems, like those that have preceded it, an experiment to test fiction's capacity to mesmerize with sombre-sexy atmospheres and ruminative elongated sentences stretched across windowless walls of paragraphs. Thus Bad Begins offers his. . .
Death by Water, Kenzaburo Oe's latest novel to be translated into English, practically begs you to read it as autobiography. Like The Changeling, as well as many other works not yet released in English, Death by Water is narrated in. . .
Jocelyne Saucier's Twenty-One Cardinals is about the type of unique, indestructible, and often tragic loyalty only found in families. For a brief but stunningly mesmerizing 169 pages, Twenty-One Cardinals invited me in to the haunting and intimate world of the. . .
We know so very little; so little that what we think to be knowledge is hardly worth reckoning with at all; instead we ought to settle for being pleasantly surprised if, on the edge of things, against all expectations, our. . .
Many of Virginie Despentes's books revolve around the same central idea: "To be born a woman [is] the worst fate in practically every society." But this message is nearly always packaged in easy-to-read books that fill you with the pleasure. . .
Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer's La Superba is appropriately titled after the Italian city of Genoa, where, after escaping the pressures of fame in his own country, the semi-autobiographical narrator finds himself cataloguing the experiences of its mesmerizing inhabitants with the intention. . .
It took reading 44 pages of Intervenir/Intervene before I began to get a sense of what Dolores Dorantes and Rodrigo Flores Sánchez were up to. Recurring throughout these 44 pages—throughout the entire book—are shovels, shovel smacks to the face, lobelias—aha!. . .
As presaged by its title, contradiction is the theme of Peter Stamm's novel, All Days Are Night. Gillian, a well-known television personality, remains unknowable to herself. And Hubert, a frustrated artist and Gillian's lover, creates art through the process of. . .

I am definitely not a love 'em and leave 'em kind of girl, but this time around fate has given me no choice.
Last night I was introduced to one of the most fantastic guys I have ever met. We hit it off almost immediately–he is charming, funny, and British. What a lethal combination.
I never thought I would be the girl who meets a guy and falls for him in one night, yet a few hours was all it took. Of course, it would be way too easy if things were that simple. There are a number of reasons why it can never work out. Let's list them, shall we?
1. He left to go to an island for the next month.
2. He is currently living in England, make the potential relationship very long distance.
3. He has a girlfriend.
We parted ways with the possibility of seeing each other again, but the chances of this happening are so slim. Nevertheless, I hold out hope that at the very least we can keep in contact.
H.B., if you are out there, know that I haven't given up on you.

Cal coach Mike Montgomery provided some unintended bulletin-board material for San Diego State before the two teams met on Sunday.
From the North County Times.
Earlier in the week, Montgomery offered motivation for the Aztecs to play harder when he said, "It's still a big deal for them to play us, the Pac-12, too."
Montgomery's team was greeted by a raucous student section at the sold out Viejas Arena. One student held a sign that stated "We're kind of a big deal."
Never mind the line from "Anchorman" because San Diego State is a big deal. After beating Cal and previously beating Arizona, the Aztecs have now defeated two ranked Pac-12 teams.
Despite reaching the Sweet 16 in March, it had been uncertain what the Aztecs would look like this season after four starters departed. But the lone returner, Chase Tapley, has stepped forward to lead the team and average 17.2 points. He scored 25 against Cal and hit the free throws to seal the win.
Jamaal Franklin, after serving a suspension for an offseason arrest, has come off the bench to average 15.3 points. LSU transfer Garrett Green, a late offseason pickup, has started every game and leads the team averaging 7.4 rebounds. Washington State transfer Xavier Thames is averaging 12.4 points.
So Montgomery was stating facts when he said of the Aztecs program, "They're really good. They've kind of found a niche in that they get kickbacks. They almost recruit to get guys that are bounce-backs." Thames, one of the transfers Montgomery had noted, told reporters after the game the remarks provided a little bit of motivation and that coach Steve Fisher had talked to the team about them.
But what San Diego State should really be judged on is its 8-2 record and building on its success from a year ago when it very well could have been rebuilding instead.
"We absolutely are (proud)," Fisher said in his postgame radio interview. "I am also realistic enough to know that if you look back at the games, and the closeness of those games, they could have gone (the other way), but they didn't. To our credit, our kids' credit, 8-2 is well deserved and very much hard-fought."

A visual smorgasbord from a legendary newspaper and its illustrious illustrators, this oversized book taps into the current craze for graphic novels and vintage comics. Joseph Pulitzers New York World flourished at the turn of the twentieth century, and out of it grew what we think of as the modern daily paper. The World was famous for muckracking and sensationalism, but to a contemporary eye what is most striking about the paper (and in particular the Sunday edition) is that it was filled with colorful artcaricatures, full-page cartoons, disaster drawings, fiction illustrations, hand-lettered typography, weird science, halftone photographs, maps, and more. For The World on Sunday, Baker and coauthor Margaret Brentano have selected 85 of the finest examples of period reporting, bold and playful graphic design, long-lost comic strips, and society pieces from the heyday of The World for reproduction in this delightful oversized volume. Bakers introductory essay argues the significance...

Hello Heroes and Villains, it's Shadow.
I am here today to bring you news of the Eyes On The Prize Event!
What is this event?
The Eyes On The Prize is an event in which any player can participate. There will be staff members in the event and we will be holding a secret item. The objective is to kill us, grab the item and get it back to spawn. Once at spawn message a staff member who is spectating the event and tell them your name and that you have the item. Afterwards the staff member will take the item from you and announce you as one of the winners.
List of staff members with items (list may change):
- Shadow_Of_Demise
- IPaandaa
- SneakyIsHere
- Dioculas
- Jaii
- CheanadaWolf
- Jordanny
- Yiex
- PrepareUrAnus
How can players participate?
The server will have a max capacity of 300 players. We will unwhitelist the server 10-15 minutes before the event starts (I will alert it in game), and whoever manages to join before it becomes full is included in the event.
Are there any prizes?
Well of course there is!
- A $25 voucher will be given to each player who returns to spawn with the Admin Item.
- You must have the admin item with you at spawn to give it to a staff member. No screenshots of you with the item will be accepted.
- You will be given the admin item on whatever Arkham server of your choice.
What are the rules?
- No Hacking; anyone that is caught hacking will be banned permanently on the spot. We can't stress this enough. Do not say you were not warned!
- No Exploiting or Glitching; if we catch anyone, or receive proof of players glitching in any way they will be permanently banned.
- All normal server rules apply.
How it will work:
Players will have unlimited lives, with unlimited gear which will be provided at the spawnpoint of the arena.The staff members will have better armor than the players as they would need to hoard you guys off. Killing the staff member won't grant you the prize, you need to return the admin item that's in there inventory to one of the admins/staff who are watching.
What time will it be hosted:
The event will be hosted 2 times, the first will be at Wednesday 5pm EST which caters mostly to the US and EU players and the second will be hosted at Thursday 4:30pm AEST which caters to the AU players.
Countdown to Wednesday, 5PM EST (US): http://goo.gl/cM8mXy
Countdown to Thursday, 4:30PM AEST (AU): http://goo.gl/1OrRKx

Forest fires are thought to have led to the deaths of a thousand orang-utans in Indonesia during the dry season. The fires, which produced thick smoke across South-East Asia, have affected food supplies and forced the apes near towns and villages, where they have been attacked, Borneo Orang-utan Survival Foundation said.
There were about 56,000 orang-utans in the wild in 2002 but the population has fallen by 6,000 a year, conservationists say.


text: Not since the Rachel has a hairstyle been this popular. The bleached blonde bob or lob has been popping up on variety of celebrity heads. After years of boring and 'safe' hairstyles, Taylor Swift went for the crop (and the bleach) and has never looked edgier, debuting the look on the cover of Vogue. At Cannes, Kristen Stewart rocked it with a punk aesthetic, brown roots showing and with with defined, dark brows. Other ways to wear the look? Try baby bangs and bleached blonde ends for a quirky take, like Michelle Williams. Or go for an almost silvery platinum shade like Jennifer Lawrence or a pure white like Charlize Theron. Whatever way you choose to wear this style, you'll be in good company.

What is an off-market transaction?
Off–market securities transactions take place between an investor and another party, often a share registry or the company that issued the securities, outside of the formal market (ie the stock exchange). These transactions might include (but are not limited to):
Dividend reinvestment: This is where an investor does not receive dividends in cash, rather the dividend is automatically reinvested in the company and the investor receives additional shares.
New issue: A new issue is the expression used when securities (shares or bonds) are offered for sale to the public for the first time.
Off-market transfer: This is a change of ownership from one name to another, done privately through the share registry. Find out more information on off market transfers.
Corporate action: This is an event initiated by the issuing company that can change the number of shares held by an investor. A dividend is one example of a corporate action. Another example is a share split, where a company splits existing shares into multiple shares at a specified ratio e.g. 2:1. Following a split, an investor will hold 2 shares for every 1 they held prior to the split. The dollar value of the shares held by an investor will remain the same, but they quantity they hold increases.

TONY EASTLEY: A pancreatic cancer diagnosis is notoriously grim with patients sometimes only given months to live. But Australian medical researchers have just begun a clinical trial they think may lead to a treatment for some forms of the cancer.
The scientists say a recent genetic discovery seems to show that existing cancer drugs might work.
Now, they're trying to prove it.
Tom Nightingale reports.
TOM NIGHTINGALE: If someone's told they have pancreatic cancer, they probably have months to live.
The Cancer Council's chief executive, professor, Ian Olver.
IAN OLVER: Well the average survival from pancreatic cancer is usually no more than about six months, and very few people get to 12 months, and that's why it can be such a devastating diagnosis.
TOM NIGHTINGALE: Recently, scientists from Sydney's Garvan Institute finished the world's biggest study of pancreatic cancer patients - 469, from all over Australia. They found about one in 50 had a gene - known as HER 2 - amplified.
Dr Lorraine Chantrill is with the Garvan Institute.
LORRAINE CHANTRILL: Now this is important because anti HER 2 therapy has actually been used in a couple of cancers beforehand with really good success. So obviously it begs the question, will those anti HER 2 therapies work in this selected population of pancreatic carcinoma.
TOM NIGHTINGALE: The medicine, known as trastuzumab, is a common breast cancer treatment and it also treats gastric cancer. But if it's to treat pancreatic cancer, it needs to be clinically proven to work.
So the researchers have begun a clinical trial at the Royal Prince Alfred, Royal North Shore and Bankstown hospitals.
The trial will include whether pancreatic cancer patients with the amplified gene respond as well to the medicine as others with breast or gastric cancer.
LORRAINE CHANTRILL: I think the likelihood is reasonably high if we take what's happened in other cancers and apply it to pancreas cancer. That's not to say that a drug used in pancreas cancer will work just as well as it does in breast or gastric cancer. But I think the likelihood is reasonably high.
TOM NIGHTINGALE: There are some chemotherapy treatments for pancreatic cancer at the moment, but the more effective ones are highly toxic.
Professor Ian Olver says the trial could mean people with pancreatic cancer can live a little longer.
IAN OLVER: And the more they stay alive, the more they get to do and the more chance there is of another therapy will come up. So a few months more may be highly significant.
TOM NIGHTINGALE: The trial results are expected in two to three years.
TONY EASTLEY: Tom Nightingale.

First Xarelto bleeding risks trial scheduled for March 2017
The first trial in a massive multidistrict litigation of nearly 14,000 cases involving bleeding risks allegedly caused by the blood thinner Xarelto is scheduled for March, with other trials, each serving as bellwethers, slated for April and May. The first case to be tried involves that of Joseph Boudreaux, who claims he began taking Xarelto in January 2014 as a treatment for his heart condition called atrial fibrillation. About a month later, he was hospitalized for internal bleeding, resulting in multiple blood transfusions. Like the thousands of other lawsuits, Boudreaux claims that Xarelto's makers, Johnson & Johnson's Janssen Pharmaceuticals and ... Read More

With the mind of Bill Belichick, there should be no reason why the team shouldn't be aggressive. The Patriots are one team with a lot of surrounding draft rumors, mainly involving the future of the team as far as drafting young talent for the veterans. Here are five Pats rumors that you need to know as draft day nears. 5. Team Could Trade Down in the Draft Brad Penner- USA TODAY Sports 5. Team Could Trade Down in the Draft Brad Penner- USA TODAY Sports Belichick is a mastermind when it comes to finding huge talent later in the draft. It should come as no surprise if the Patriots would be okay with moving down in the draft if the deal is right. The team will have eight draft picks, so it would seem that the team may not be in a rush to pick a player who fits their needs. 4. Defense Must Be A Priority Andrew Weber- USA TODAY Sports 4. Defense Must Be A Priority Andrew Weber- USA TODAY Sports With the departures of some key players from the defensive side of the football, there is no doubt that the Patriots should look at the draft to obtain young talent on defense. Losing key players from the defensive end, linebacker and secondary in free agency means that the team will be focused on defense more than ever. 3. Team Must Draft A Running Back Tommy Gilligan- USA TODAY Sports 3. Team Must Draft A Running Back Tommy Gilligan- USA TODAY Sports With the loss of LeGarrette Blount and the failure to obtain solid running backs in free agency, this position is going to be key in the draft. The team needs to be prepared due to Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen having issues that have limited their playing time. 2. Drafting A Backup to Rob Gronkowski Matthew Emmons- USA TODAY Sports 2. Drafting A Backup to Rob Gronkowski Matthew Emmons- USA TODAY Sports Rob Gronkowski has had quite an injury spell over the last few seasons. He has been known as Tom Brady's security blanket in the passing game. While the team has won games without him, they have not gotten past the AFC Championship Game in two years. The Patriots should avoid having that happen for the third year in a row and draft a tight end who can help the franchise in case Gronk gets hurt again. 1. Drafting Tom Brady's Replacement? Dale Zanine- USA TODAY Sports 1. Drafting Tom Brady's Replacement? Dale Zanine- USA TODAY Sports There is no doubt that like Peyton Manning for the Denver Broncos, Brady will not be in the league much longer. It appeared that the team is preparing for life after Brady when it was announced that they were thinking about talking to Johnny Manziel and a few other quarterbacks. If the team decides to draft a signal caller, this shows that they want to prepare for a team no longer led by Brady.

text: Back in December the WND published a review of the Disney movie 'Tangled' after it was released in the US. David Cloud it as an authoritative source to attack the movie. Here is an except: WND, in its typical sensationalist reporting, just as typically gets it wrong. The reviewer ignores the fact that the 'mother' is a kidnapper who has imprisoned a young girl for 18 years while lying to her about her life and background. The reviewer gives us the impression that no matter what happens a child must accept the authority of a parent figure no matter how wrong that person is. Rapunzel does not rebel against her mother, she rebels against a kidnapper. It is this mindset that allows children to be abused by 'parent figures' in their lives. If a parent figure says it, you have to trust them and obey their authority. 'Yes, laugh and sing while children are being stolen' the reviewer writes. The parents in the movie suffered 18 years of anguish after their child was stolen. Yet this review comes from a 'news source' that many consider reliable. That is a scary thought. Yes, eventually WND publishes a parent's response, but even then this apparent supporter of kidnapping does not back down on his opinion that children must submit to parent figures, no matter how wicked. We should never teach our children the lesson of absolute, unquestioning submission to any parent figure. This movie has more of a potential of encouraging a child to deal with an abusive relationship than to teach sinful rebellion. And yet this is the source that many use to support their political views? Something is wrong here.

Ok, if you have been watching the news lately you are aware that the Blackberry response to the iPhone is about to hit the market. The Blackberry response is called the Storm and offers a touch screen interface like the iPhone, but will it fall short of real competition like the G1 and other recent "iPhone killers"
Here is a quick run down on the specs for the two phones:
At first glance at these stats it looks like the storm will finally push the iPhone in terms of performance, battery life, and "cool factor".
The first glaring weakness that jumps out at you for the Storm is it's lack of Wifi. I don't know about you but I use the wifi feature on my iPhone all the time. I have access to wifi at home, work, and a lot of the restaurants I frequent. Given the hit or miss reliability of the AT&T 3g network I only use 3g when there is no other option. For me personally that is a show stopper and a crippling weakness of the Storm.
The Blackberry screen is also slightly smaller 3.2 inches verses 3.5 inches. .3 inches is not much on a full size monitor but every pixel counts on a small screen like this. They offer the same pixel count so the two screens will have the same room for content only slightly smaller on the Storm.
Ok, so enough bashing of the Storm, what makes it a potential iPhone killer?
How about tactile feedback from the screen, cut and paste, longer battery life, expandable memory, and a 3.2 mega pixel camera with video support? That's enough to make Apple haters rejoice, now if it just came in brown they would really have something to hang their hat on.
Pricing is rumored to be $199.00 with a new contract (30 years to life).
The real question for the Storm is what Apple has come to realize with the iPhone, content is King! Since the release of the iPhone there have been thousands of apps released for it, movies can be purchased or rented, music is all over the place and easy to access.
Will the Storm be able to keep pace and provide such a tidal wave of new apps for the Storm? Only time will tell, I may have to see if StormAppReview.com is available so I can ride the wave too.

Happy Music Monday! 4AD is one of the most legendary record labels, covering so many different genres and artists. Even today they're still around, and still doing really cool stuff. But when they started, alternative wasn't a thing, and pop songs like this weren't as widely accepted as they are now. 4AD was important to many of us for that reason, the "Crayons to perfume" of our teenage years. And the music they made still holds up.
This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren
It was a super hard decision to make, deciding how to start this post. I chose Song To The Siren because it's so famous, and it represents a magical moment in the label's history. But I could also have easily picked this song or this song or even this song instead. There's just so much to love in 4AD's catalog, both old and new. It's just that this cover of a Tim Buckley song is really the moment the whole world noticed 4AD was something special. So I started here.
More to come! ENROBE YOURSELF IN DARKNESS AND ADVANCE

This invention relates to a novel process and device for entering data and commands into a computer. In most computer systems the operator uses a typewriter style keyboard to enter data and commands. The results of these inputs and commands are displayed on a CRT monitor. A "cursor" is used to locate the current position on the monitor where data are loaded or where commands are carried out. The position of the cursor is controlled in a variety of ways. Most computer systems use particular keystrokes or combinations of keystrokes to move the cursor around the screen of the monitor. In some systems special keys are designated to command the computer to move the cursor in particular directions, i.e. up, down, left or right. Other devices are also available to move the cursor such as joysticks, "mice," etc.
There are various disadvantages associated with each of these systems. The systems which use specially designated keystrokes to move the cursor are limited in the variety of tasks and the speed with which they can be used. This is because they can only move the cursor at one speed, in one direction, and only one character place at a time. This is so evidently limiting that many new computer operating systems now incorporate an additional device to move the cursor, usually a "mouse". However the mouse, while more versatile and faster, has inherent limitations of its own.
To those knowledgeable in the art the mouse is a device which provides signals to control the position of a cursor on the monitor display of computer systems. The mouse consists of a small housing fitted with a roller ball in its underside. Any movement of the "mouse" on a flat surface turns the roller ball. The roller ball is connected to sensing devices which register its movements. This sensing device is well known to those knowledgeable in the art and needs only a brief description here. As the mouse is moved over a flat surface in various directions the roller ball rotates. The roller ball's movement is appreciated by the sensors which then enter the positional data into the computer. The computer then moves the cursor on the monitor screen a distance which corresponds to the movement of the roller ball.
There are a number of inherent disadvantages to this system also. First, the mouse requires a relatively large flat surface adjacent to the computer keyboard upon which to operate. Therefore the mouse cannot easily be used where desktop space is limited. Similarly use with portable or "laptop" computers or with arcade games is very difficult.
The second major difficulty with using a mouse is the need for the operator to remove his or her hands from the keyboard in order to operate the mouse. This requires the operator to look away from the keyboard or monitor and to then visually locate the mouse. The operator must then move his hand towards the mouse, locate the mouse with his hand, and then place his hand correctly on the mouse. Now the operator is able to use the mouse to instruct the computer. After finishing his task with the mouse the operator must again remove his hand from the device he is using and visually locate the next device he wishes to use, in this case the keyboard. Next he must move his hand to the keyboard and locate the "home keys" to correctly position his fingers for use of the keyboard. All of these actions require time to complete and thereby reduce the efficiency of the operator.
A third difficulty is that the location of the cursor changes as the operator does his work while the computer "remembers" the cursor position for the mouse as being located at the last point that the mouse was used. When the operator wants to use the mouse at the current location on the screen he must first move the "mouse cursor" to the present work location before being able to use the mouse.
The present invention solves all of these problems. It eliminates the need for a relatively large flat surface adjacent to the computer keyboard upon which to operate and thereby makes it useful in new situations and activities, it eliminates many operator actions by enabling the operator to keep his hands on the home keys of the keyboard while using a device which performs the functions of the mouse thereby increasing efficiency of operation, and it provides a simple method of repositioning the mouse cursor position to the active screen position.
As presently configured the operation of the keyboard does not involve the use of the operator's thumbs. Therefore positioning the mouse controls in such a way that it can be operated by the thumbs without removing the operator's fingers from their home positions on the keyboard will enable the operator to use both devices most effectively and in a limited physical space. The mouse controls must be located near the natural resting place for the thumbs when the operator's fingers are on the home keys. The operator does not then have to locate either device to use them together.
However, simply positioning the new device for use by the operator's thumbs in itself is not sufficient to allow effective use of the newly coordinated mouse-board. A number of other innovations must be utilized.
First, the mouse must be broken into two separate units. One unit consists of the roller (which positions the cursor on the screen) and an adjacent switch which is also used to control the cursor position as will be explained below. The second unit consists of the other mouse switchs (which the computer operator uses to signal various commands to the computer). In this way the operator can control the cursor position with one thumb by using the roller and an adjacent switch, and signal instructions to the computer with the other thumb by use of the other mouse switches. Allocating these functions to separate thumbs achieves increased accuracy and efficiency because now the thumb that is controlling the cursor position is not simultaneously responsible for activating the switch, or switches that signal special instructions to the computer.
Second, the mouse roller and mouse switch must be located near the natural resting place for the thumbs when the operator's fingers are on the home keys. A natural "home position" for the thumbs is created and an adjustable rest position for the palms of the hand is also created to lower operator fatigue.
Third, the roller must be designed to have multiple speeds so that the cursor can both be rapidly moved to any place on the screen and can be positioned with a high degree of accuracy on the screen. A high speed mouse setting can move the cursor over the entire screen with little movement of the thumb while intermediate and slow speeds can ensure very accurate placement of the cursor. The speed of the cursor movement needs to be controlled by the same thumb that moves the roller. This is accomplished by having the speed of the mouse controlled by the amount of pressure applied to the roller by the thumb. Downward pressure on the roller will depress the roller assembly in its housing to activate an electromechanical switch that signals the computer to start the high speed mouse. A lower pressure will allow the roller to rise to a higher point in the housing and to activate a different electromechanical switch to signal a slower mouse speed to the computer. These speeds can be made to be flexibly adjustable by appropriate software or ROM operating system instructions.
Fourth, a switch located next to the roller (and activated by the same thumb that controls the roller) is designated to instruct the computer to relocate the mouse cursor position to the present active working position of the cursor on the screen.
Fifth, the second set of switches which carry different commands to the computer must be modified. The operator's other thumb is positioned over these two switches which can be programed in a variety of ways by appropriate software or ROM operating system instructions inherent to the computer. Regardless of the system used to operate these controls two different switches are necessary. The two switches are placed next to each other near the operator's other thumb's home resting position. They may have a number of uses. For example, one switch can be used to signal the computer to mark the location of the cursor while the other switch can command the computer to delete whatever has been marked by the combination of roller and switch operation previously done. Other commands can be allocated to these switches by appropriate software programming.
Sixth, the entire control device assembly is able to rotate 180 degrees to accomodate either right handed or left handed operators. In one configuration the roller is on the left hand side and the switches are on the right hand side, and in the rotated configuration the roller is on the right hand side and the switches are on the left hand side.
Seventh, palm rests are created at each end of the keyboard at the "natural resting" position of the palms to decrease operator fatigue.
The present invention can be used without substantial modification of existing technology. The present embodiment allows intuitive control of the cursor position, with intuitive proprioceptive feedback to the operator, which prior art consisting of shafts and roller mechanisms does not provide. With this combination of innovations, significant improvement of speed and ease of use of mouse driven software is achieved as well as the ability to use this technology in new applications.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a computer keyboard showing how the computer control device is placed on the keyboard, the relative location of the roller assemble and switches, and the location and form of the palm rests. The location of the control device is at the front of the keyboard, centered from left to right and at the position where the thumbs of the operator would naturally rest when the operator's fingers are on the keyboard home positions.
FIG. 2 is an exploded schematic view of an embodiment of the control device and the keyboard demonstrating the means of adjusting the device for left or right handed users.
FIG. 3 is an exploded schematic of an embodiment of the roller assembly to demonstrate the means of changing the speed settings of the control device.
FIG. 1 illustrates the preferred embodiment of the claimed invention represented generally by reference numeral 20. The computer control device 2 is located at the front of and centered from left to right on a standard computer keyboard 1. It can be either angled at approximately 30 degrees from the horizontal or located in a vertical position to improve ease of use. The control device is contained in its housing 7. The control device has a roller assembly 6 which is held in place by its housing 9. The two switches 4 and 5 are held in place by their housing 10. A third switch 12 is held in place by its housing 11. Two palm rest pads 3 are located at the right and left lower corners of the computer keyboard and their height is adjustable to accomodate the comfort of each individual operator.
FIG. 2 illustrates the preferred embodiment of the claimed invention 20 showing its ability to be adjusted for use by both left and right handed operators by reference numeral 21. The computer control device 2 is extended on its shaft 21 away from the control device housing 7. The control device 2 is able to rotate 180 degrees around the axis of the shaft 21 when in the extended position. The roller assembly can thereby be located either to the right of the switches 4 and 5 or to the left of these switches. After this adjustment is made the control device 2 is lowered back into it's resting position in the control device housing 7.
FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the roller assembly 6. It consists of the roller ball 31, a spring 50, two protrusions 51 attached to the spring and the spaces 46, 47 and 48, which are molded into the control device 2, two springs 40 and 41, a metal rod 33, a contact 34 and three switch position contacts 35, 36, and 37. As pressure is applied in a downward direction to the roller assembly, the protrusions 51 are moved towards each other because of the shape of the molded input device 2. This compresses the spring 50. Further pressure moves the roller assembly 6 downwards until the protrusions 51 are able to move into the space 47 molded into the control device 2. When the roller assembly 6 has descended this far into the control device 2 the rod 33 and the contact 34 have also descended the same distance which causes switch 37 to be inactivated and switch 36 to be activated. This system provides the operator with positive proprioceptive data telling him where the roller assemble is and which switch is activated. A similar sequence of events inactivates switch 36 and activates switch 35. A release of pressure by the operator allows this sequence of events to be reversed and the operator can thereby easily and accurately control which switch is activated in the control device.
Clearly many modifications of this basic system can be made as to how the switches are constructed, how the position of the roller assembly is controlled, how the control device may be constructed so as to be able to rotate in its housing and precisely where the palm rests and controls should be placed.
FIG. 1 illustrates the complete control device system. The initial adjustment consists of setting the height of the palm rests for optimal comfort of the operator and rotating the control device for either left or right handed operators as described above. The operator will then locate his finger on the home keys of the standard keyboard to begin entering data into the computer. His left and right thumbs are located respectively upon the roller (6) and one of the switchs (4 or 5). His palms are resting on the palm rests (3). When he needs to use the computer control device (2) his thumbs are already in position and there is no need to either locate the device nor to remove his fingers from the keyboard home keys. Rotating the roller in the highest position moves the cursor position around the screen at the slowest speed. The exact speed can be flexibly adjusted by appropriate software. At this setting a 120 degree rotation of the roller should move the cursor approximately 5% of the distance across the screen either horizontally or vertically. This is approximately the space that four or five letters or numbers would take up. This provides for very accurate placement of the cursor. When the operator presses down on the roller and puts it into its lowest position the cursor speed will be the fastest. In this setting a 120 degree rotation of the roller (6) should move the cursor across the entire screen either horizontally or vertically. The middle position of the roller assembly will set the cursor speed at an intermediate level to provide relatively rapid movement of the cursor with intermediate accuracy in its placement. The two switches (4 and 5) can be set up with appropriate software controls to perform a variety of functions. As an example, for word processing one switch can be used to "mark" the location of the cursor when it is activated and the other switch can be used to instruct the computer to delete whatever has been "marked." The other switch 12 is used prior to use of the roller assembly in order to instruct the computer to relocate the mouse cursor position to the present active working position on the screen.

SCIENCE WATCH; Tin Is Found in Interstellar Space
Published: July 6, 1993
USING the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers at the University of Chicago have found tin in interstellar space. It is the heaviest element yet seen in the gas between the stars.
Although it was assumed that tin would be found, Dr.Lewis Hobbs, a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the university, and his colleagues were surprised to find it there in essentially the same proportion as in the Sun.
With this ratio, the team was able to understand more clearly how interstellar gas condenses to form solid matter.
The ratio of elements in the gas phase of a particle's development hints at how the elements merge to form solid interstellar dust particles. The new data seem to support the theory that the elements condense out of the gas phase as the temperature drops to form the particles. The research appears to refute a widely held theory that condensation relates to the energy needed to remove an electron from an atom.
The research was conducted using a powerful spectrograph on board the Hubble telescope to observe the ultraviolet spectrum produced by light from the stars in the Milky Way galaxy. The team was able to study the spectrums more closely than had been possible before.
The findings were presented recently at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society.

1. Erik Bengtsson-Korsås, 44, from Stockholm, Sweden, was away on business when he received a call from his wife saying there was a giant rat in their kitchen.
"I thought to myself that she was just over exaggerating and told her not to worry until I got home," he said.
When he returned he discovered his wife Signe, 39, had banned their children from the kitchen and their pet cat had been attacked by the "monster" rat.
Bengtsson-Korsås soon realised the job was too big to tackle alone and called in pest control.
And this is where the tale gets truly terrifying…
2. The rat was apparently so huge that despite being caught in a spring-loaded trap, it would not die and continued to run around the kitchen with the trap around its neck.
Bengtsson-Korsås added: "They [pest control] told me that the rat was so tough it had managed to get into the kitchen by chewing through the brickwork and cement with its incisors.
"It had then decided that it like it inside and had made itself at home — chasing off the cat and my family."
Pest control eventually managed to grab the rat and kill it. Afterwards it was found to measure 40 centimetres from nose to tail.
Afterwards, Bengtsson-Korsås said: "The kids were afraid it would come back to life as some sort of zombie rat as it had seemed so hard to kill. They didn't want to touch it."

Hello, SCOTT R: First, I want to thank you, as have others, for so generously providing another choice for discussions. It seems like an idea worth trying. I wish I were more knowledgable about the workings of websites so I could fully understand and appreciate what effort there is behind this, but I am sure there is a lot of effort and generosity and thank you for it. Maybe I am missing something, but I don't see how establishing a new category, 'Other', takes away from the other categories as long as people continue to participate on those fully, as they should and as they must and as they will, I feel sure. I took your reminder about that to heart and am sure others will take care of that as they have in the past. If the 'Other' provides an outlet for discussions that might be controversial at an identifiable location, I don't see how that promotes discord and anger or takes away from the other categories. I hope it will be simply an addition, not a subtraction, or it will be worthless.
However, that is why I am addressing this to you. Judy has written a long letter directed at Ed and others and is obviously quite upset. It made me want to hear from you directly about those claims that you were browbeaten, coerced, felt forced, or any other situation that most people would think negative. Did you experience or feel any of those things? I realize you are under no obligation to respond, but those circumstances about you were invoked in Judy's letter and I would like to know if they are accurate, if you care to say.
I truly do not know how or if or when people e-mail back and forth 'behind the scene' of the public message boards. I have not done that. I also do not know how moderators and their role works. I do know that I would prefer that we participants conduct our posting in public as much as possible and I would not like to be associated with your feeling in any way forced to do anything that you did not agree with or want to do. As so many people have pointed out, it is your website. Maybe you were feeling between a rock and a hard place in these matters, but I hope not and I hope that this new category will help the situation, both in easing resentments and in providing outlets for a wider variety of interaction. As so many people think, it is a wonderful website and much appreciated by all the Foot People. I am sorry to see/read valuable participants here be so upset, but it has happened to many of the posters at one time or another. It is my hope that people know that they can get upset, vent it, get beyond it and still feel welcomed and valued. Well, long again – sorry – I'm going to work on editing and condensing thoughts as a personal goal. I hope you will be able to respond about the claims that you were 'browbeaten' behind the scenes. Since you began this website for specific purposes, I would also be interested to know your opinion and feelings about this new turn and about recent events with regard to whether they correspond to your vision for the website at all or not. If you don't care to respond, I understand and we will just carry on. Thank you again, for the website and for the new addition.
Best wishes ~

i have no feelings or comments about recent events in the message boards other than i wish the 'children' would stop responding to each other if they are going to discuss or argue anything other than foot pain, which includes discussing the message board itself. the main rule: 'be nice' has the rule 'stay on topic' that can fall under it and i consider this rule just as important. the message boards are not here so that everyone can drone on about the boards themselves nor about the participants. these rules do not apply to 'other' board. that board's rule is 'stay legal'

Synopsis: After his successful debut in Buzz Monkey, Top Kiernan is back. Only life in Athens, Georgia has grown more complicated. His former office manager (and ex-lover) has stolen half his clients and set up shop on her own. Top's no longer banking big bucks as an operative for Shaw?s Mercantile Marine, which has found his addiction to the adrenaline buzz a dangerous risk. He's six months behind in mortgage payments, and Fourth Federal is set to foreclose. So, for all his objections?the job?s too small, the client?s a racist?has no choice, really. He needs the twenty thousand. All he has to do is recover a Confederate battle flag?the one that stanched General ?Stonewall? Jackson?s wounds when he was fatally shot on May 2, 1863, and in that instant became an American relic of incalculable value. Top?s search for the flag takes him and his friends on a raucous jaunt from Athens to the mansion of a multimillionaire stripper-turned-car-dealer to an armed compound in the Okefenokee Swamp to a tattoo convention. In between, they outwit and outrun obsessive collectors, bikers, ATF agents, the KKK, and more. It?s not exactly the way to beat an adrenaline habit.

Gays serving in the military is not something new in American history. The first gay person discharged from the U.S. military was Lieutenant Gotthold Frederick Enslin in 1778 by General George Washington. From 1917 to 2010 when Don't Ask, Don't Tell was repealed, there were regulations and laws that denied gays from serving openly in the United States military. For over two hundred years gays have bravely sacrificed and suffered so that they could serve a country they love. Although they served in silence, their service has been heard and is depicted in documentary photographer's Vincent Cianni's new book, Gays in the Military.
Traveling over 10,000 miles over a span of 21 trips across the United States from 2009 to 2013, Cianni interviewed and photographed 120 active duty service members and veterans for Gays in the Military. Published by Daylight Books, Gays in the Military sought "to document how the military's ban on openly gay and lesbian service personnel, which ended just two and a half years ago, impacted their careers in the armed forces and their civilian lives afterwards."
In 1993, President Clinton signed into law "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" when he failed to receive support for allowing gays to serve openly in the military. The law denied gays and lesbians the right of stating their sexual orientation, from engaging in sexual activity, and required that officers and personnel refrain from asking military men and women about their sexual orientation. Ironically, Don't Ask, Don't Tell was meant to be a way of allowing homosexuals to serve in the military but obviously under discriminatory and unjustifiable measures. More than 13,000 military men and women were discharged under this policy until it was repealed in 2010 by President Obama.
Gays in the Military, through vividly moving photographs of servicemen and women and veterans, shares the stories of many who served in silence, were discriminated against and at times abused because of their sexual orientation. Many were denied benefits that other military personnel received and some were discharged from service for being homosexual. The book also features essays by Alison Nordstrom, Don Bramer and Alan Steinman which "shed light on the cultural, personal and political consequences of the ban on homosexuality."
In addition to this book, Cianni gave a TEDx Talk on Gays in the Military at the University of Nevada which was recorded and can be found on YouTube. Cianni's TEDx Talk is powerful in a similar and yet different way than his book. During the talk you not only see photographs that are featured in the book but you actually have a chance to hear the men and women that Cianni interviewed share a part of their history under Don't Ask, Don't Tell and it is quite impactful. If anything this fifteen-minute video is a must-watch for it allows everyone around the world to hear personal accounts from men and women and the things they endured while they continued to serve in honor of a country that did not recognize or respect them for their service under Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
It's 2015 and we are in a new era, an era where gays can serve openly in the military. We know that a majority of Americans support gays in the military. However, as Cianni's Gays in the Military reminds us, we cannot forget this part of our history, when men and women were forced to serve silently and were treated unequally. By remembering and honoring, we can hopefully ensure that America does not allow this type of thing to happen in any aspect of our society toward any group of people again.
