In his ongoing battle with Glee, Jonathan Coulton has finally found a way to monopolize on the exposure that the popular television show gave him.
Coulton released the single "Baby Got Back (In the Style of Glee)" on iTunes, GooglePlay, and AmazonMP3 on Saturday.
If the tune sounds familiar, that's supposed to be the point. Coulton covered the Glee version of "Baby Got Back" that was released on Jan. 18 (and aired this past Thursday), which he says is "EXACTLY THE SAME as my own version."
And to put pressure on Glee, he's donating everything he makes from the song to two causes close to the show's heart.
"I'm releasing this under the same Harry Fox license I used for the 2005 release, so Mix will get all the royalties due to him," Coulton explained in a new blog post. "I'll donate the proceeds from all sales that happen between now and the end of February to two charities: The VH1 Save the Music Foundation, and The It Gets Better Project."
He won't know exactly how much money he will be donating to charity right away. He has to deduct the license fees from his net sales after iTunes takes its cut, and even then it can take up to a couple months for iTunes to report the numbers.
Coulton originally made the allegations against Glee on Jan. 18 when the songs for the episode "Sadie Hawkins" first appeared online; he even thought that they may have used some of his audio.
He reported that Glee and FOX finally got back to him a week later, one day after the show aired its version of "Baby Got Back" without any change, and they revealed that this was their general policy when it came to covers of covers. Coulton wrote:
"They also got in touch with my peeps to basically say that they're within their legal rights to do this, and that I should be happy for the exposure (even though they do not credit me, and have not even publicly acknowledged that it's my version - so you know, it's kind of SECRET exposure. While they appear not to be legally obligated to do any of these things, they did not apologize, offer to credit me, or offer to pay me, and indicated that this was their general policy in regards to covers of covers."
He went on to say he's grateful for all of the support he's received from fans, and although he urged them to be civil, he asked them to buy the single and hopes that Glee will donate its proceeds from "Baby Got Back" to charity as well.
"I don't know how big this will get, but there's a potential to make a lot of noise this way – imagine if this thing charts!" Coulton wrote. "And failing that, we will create some real world impact by raising a lot of money for two great causes that are directly related to the Glee brand. There's your win-win."
He already has his wish. As of Sunday afternoon, "Baby Got Back (In the Style of Glee)" is at No. 104 on the iTunes Top Singles chart. By comparison, the top Glee song comes in at No. 116 and Glee's version of "Baby Got Back" isn't even in the Top 200.
Your move, FOX.

Giancarlo Parretti, a flamboyant former Hollywood mogul with longstanding international arrest warrants hanging over him for convictions on perjury and other frauds, was arrested today near Orvieto, a medieval hilltop town about 70 miles north of Rome.
Mr. Parretti, 58, an Italian financier who engineered a $1.3 billion takeover of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. in 1990 and was later accused of nearly driving it into financial ruin, was taken into custody by Italian police while at a weight-loss farm outside Orvieto, his Italian lawyer said.
Orvieto police, who arrested Mr. Parretti on a request for extradition from the United States, said a court in Orvieto must decide within the next 96 hours whether Mr. Parretti may be detained until a hearing can be held on the extradition request.
Manlio Morcella, Mr. Parretti's lawyer, said by telephone that the court could order Mr. Parretti held if it suspected he might flee, a suspicion he said would be ''excessive.''Continue reading the main story
The police had first rung the bell of Mr. Parretti's home in Orvieto, where he had been living apparently unnoticed in Italy's olive-growing region, before they were alerted to his exact whereabouts. Their relatively easy apprehension of the fugitive financier, Mr. Morcella said, made it ''absurd'' to believe he would seek flight.
Mr. Parretti's arrest comes about one month after German police arrested Martin R. Frankel, a Connecticut money manager whom the American authorities have accused of embezzling money from insurance companies. Mr. Frankel is in a Hamburg jail awaiting possible extradition.
But while Mr. Frankel had been the target of a four-month trans-Atlantic manhunt, Mr. Parretti had been on the run for almost three years. He fled the United States for Italy before he could be sentenced on a conviction of perjury and tampering with evidence in a Delaware court.
Mr. Parretti is also sought for extradition by the French, after a court in Paris convicted him in March on corruption charges and sentenced him in absentia to four years in prison and a $165,000 fine.
Exactly how Mr. Parretti fled the United States remains a mystery. It also was still unclear tonight how long Italian police had been hunting for Mr. Parretti or when the United States had sought his extradition. But by skipping the country, he joined a band of rogue financiers like Marc D. Rich and Robert Vesco.
And indeed, the ins and outs of Mr. Parretti's legal scuffles on both sides of the Atlantic could provide grist for a John Grisham novel. For one thing is certain: Mr. Parretti left behind legal battles in several countries.
In November 1990, Mr. Parretti had acquired MGM, with help from loans raised by the big French bank, Credit Lyonnais, which was later crushed by billions of dollars of bad debt and had to be bailed out by the French Government. Within months of Mr. Parretti's purchase of MGM, its creditors went to court complaining that they were not getting paid.
Several months later, Credit Lyonnais removed Mr. Parretti from MGM's board, accusing him of gross mismanagement, and had its action validated by a state court in Delaware, where MGM is incorporated. After a litany of lawsuits and countersuits Mr. Parretti was convicted in 1996 in Delaware of perjury and tampering with evidence in the court trial in which Credit Lyonnais asserted its control of MGM. But before Mr. Parretti could be sentenced, he fled the United States.
Earlier, in a case before a Federal court in California, Mr. Parretti had been seeking to avoid extradition to France to face criminal charges there that he had looted Credit Lyonnais. In seeking to avoid extradition to France, Mr. Parretti had posted bail in California.
One condition of the bail agreement was that if Mr. Parretti jumped bail, he could be ruled in default in yet a third lawsuit, a civil case in yet another California court. In that suit, Mr. Parretti and Credit Lyonnais were suing each other over his dismissal from MGM's board. In 1997, the judge in that case ruled for Credit Lyonnais, citing the bail condition and the fact that Mr. Parretti was a fugitive. The court ordered Mr. Parretti to pay Credit Lyonnais damages totaling $1.4 billion.
Jay M. Coggan, an attorney in Beverly Hills, Calif., who represented Mr. Parretti in the Delaware case, said the court in Delaware was ''extremely interested in his return.'' Mr. Coggan said he received inquiries from the court about every three months regarding Mr. Parretti's whereabouts. He said that, by court order, he remained Mr. Parretti's attorney in Delaware.Continue reading the main story

The Germantown girls basketball team maintained its lead in the North Shore Conference with two easy wins last week.
The Warhawks, who entered Saturday afternoon's nonconference game with Arrowhead unbeaten at 6-0, overpowered Grafton, 65-37, on Friday after routing Milwaukee Lutheran, 90-40, on Dec. 17. The two NSC victories improved them to 4-0 in league play.
After the Arrowhead game, Germantown takes a step into the big time when it takes part in the eight-team Rathke Memorial Tournament on Thursday through Saturday. They take on Waunakee in a 3:30 p.m. quarterfinal on Thursday.
Play continues through Saturday's championship at 3:15 p.m. and all teams are guaranteed three games. Others involved include DePere, Racine Case, Middleton, Oshkosh Lourdes, DSHA and the host Sabers.
Coach Matt Stuve said he has looked forward to entering this tournament and is eager to see how the Warhawks will do.
Germantown hit Grafton hard on Friday, racing out to a 23-11 first quarter lead and then breaking it open to a 39-18 halftime lead. It was 57-31 after three quarters.
A total of 11 players scored for the Warhawks as Taylor Higginbotham had 18 points, including two of Germantown's nine 3-pointers. She also grabbed five rebounds and had five steals.
She got help from Val Meissner with 10 points (along with two assists and three steals) and Bridget Kelley with seven (to go with six rebounds). Paige Groth had six points, four assists and four blocked shots while Kenzie Schmitz grabbed four rebounds, had four steals and blocked three shots.
Groth, Miska Cantley and Meissner also hit two 3-pointers apiece.
All told, Germantown had 23 steals, 15 assists and nine blocked shots in the game.
In the rout of Lutheran, which was the highest scoring game of the season for the Warhawks, it was interesting after one quarter (a 25-21 Germantown lead), but then the relentless defensive pressure of the Warhawks started to pay off big in the second quarter.
If there ever was a game that epitomized the "run, press and shoot" philosophy of the Warhawks, this was it.
They outscored the Red Knights, 27-5, in the second session to cruise into the half with a 52-26 lead. The Warhawks turned Lutheran over at will all night, including a reported 47 steals. That led to an amazing total of 104 shot attempts
Even by Germantown standards, this was impressive, as a total of 14 players scored, led by Kelley with 20 points. She was nine of 13 from the field and grabbed 10 rebounds. Also in double figures were Meissner (11 points and five steals); and Amy Flasch (10 points and seven steals).
Higginbotham added nine points with eight thefts while Courtney Wahl and Erika Berry (four steals) had seven points apiece. Groth had six points with eight assists and three steals and Schmitz had six points with three steals.
The score could have been much worse, as Germantown missed 18 free throws and hit only four of 34 3-point attempts.

This review is from: Polycom 2200-16200-001 w/ EX Mics SoundStation 2 EX with 2 EX Mics
Pros: Has great sound volume and looks very attractive on our conference room table. The room is 15x20 with a 15 foot ceiling. We can have 10-15 people in the room and everyone is as audible as if they were each holding a handset. Normal voice is clear no matter where the person is standing in the room.
Cons: Doesn't take care of the room echo as much as I thought it would, but our room isn't the best anyway. I wouldn't say this is a con necessarily, but it isn't a pro. It still is leaps and bounds above the NEC Dterm 80 we were using in there to begin with.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: Looks to be great build quality, and fits the E-ATX like it is stated on their website.
Cons: Never got to install due to PCI-E 16x overlapping CPU-1 by about 2 inches with a Quadro 4000 graphics card. I don't see how any card would fit there in the first place as close as it is to CPU-1. Partially my fault for ordering this hoping things wouldn't be as tight as they looked.

BeschreibungThis transcript of a process-oriented psychology seminar provides a theoretical overview, and then continues on with demonstrations of how to work with individuals and groups. The interactions between Drs. Mindell and the seminar participants show that in order to get to the process, it may be necessary to employ trickster-like ways, based on the fabled, wise trickster of a Native American tribe, who did everything differently. His horse went forwards, for instance, but he rode it facing backwards, thereby taking a new approach.
PortraitArnold Mindell, Ph.D., is the founder of a new school of therapy called Process-Oriented Psychology, and is known throughout the world for his innovative synthesis of dreams, bodywork, Jungian therapy, group process, consciousness studies, shamanism, quantum physics, and small and large group conflict resolution. Amy Mindell, Ph.D., has developed process-oriented psychology in the areas of healthcare, ethics, philosophy, and dance.

The FTC has won a major legal battle that could allow to prosecute companies that fail to adequately protect user data.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled Monday in favor of the Federal Trade Commission in Wyndham v. FTC, a case that arose after the FTC sued Wyndham Hotels & Resorts for using weak security measures that made it a sitting duck for hackers.
Wyndham had challenged the agency's authority to prosecute it for that security failure, but on Monday, all three judges on the appeals court's panel decided that the FTC indeed had that authority. A Wyndham spokesman told Reuters that the company was reviewing the ruling and did not suggest how it would respond.
Unless Wyndham can secure a review of the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, Monday's ruling effectively solidifies the FTC's ability to prosecute companies that don't do enough to keep customer data out of the hands of hackers.
Marc Rotenberg, president and executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), praised the decision and told the Daily Dot in an email that the FTC played "a critical role in safeguarding consumer privacy in America." He also pointed to a key passage in the ruling, in which the court wrote:
A company does not act equitably when it publishes a privacy policy to attract customers who are concerned about data privacy, fails to make good on that promise by investing inadequate resources in cybersecurity, exposes its unsuspecting customers to substantial financial injury, and retains the profits of their business.
Although hackers have increasingly targeted government agencies rich with records, like the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Department of Veterans Affairs, they also continue to go after major corporations with vast troves of private data.
Russian hackers penetrated Wyndham's systems in three separate attacks in 2008 and 2009, stealing more than 600,000 credit-card numbers and racking up more than $10 million in fraudulent charges. The FTC sued the hotel chain for failing to live up to its data-privacy responsibilities.
In court, Wyndham argued that, if the FTC could sue companies for not using strong enough security measures, it could essentially "regulate the locks on hotel room doors." But the court dismissed that rhetoric about overly broad enforcement powers as "alarmist to say the least."
Julie Brill, a Democratic commissioner on FTC, tweeted about the ruling and called it "big news."

All of a sudden the translated text is no longer being pulled into my application.
Added in beta 3, worked in beta4 and then Gold and suddenly stopped after a compile. No config changes. Only program and translation changes.
I was able to edit translation .ts files to add the translations. When I recomplied, new entries were added and removed ones were marked as obsolete.
Now only platform translations are done, for example toggle buttons, all languages effected.
Rerunning lupdate makes no difference. Seems to want to create empty files in project directory not the project\translations directory.
Compared make and .pro files but can't see any differences.

SW-MOTECH Centerstand for Ducati Multistrada 1200 DVT & 1200S DVT '15-'17
This SW-MOTECH Centerstand is one of the most versatile accessories you can add to your sport touring motorcycle. German engineered design and construction ensure maximum leverage for easy deployment while robust tubular steel provides stable and secure support for your motorcycle. Using this centerstand greatly improves accessibility for basic chain maintenance, tire changes, wheel cleaning, and trail side repairs versus the sidestand alone. Cornering clearances are not sacrificed and lean angles remain unaffected.
Seamless integration with the OEM exhaust and sidestand components means no drilling, cutting welding or moving of other components for fitting. Simple bolt-on installation requires only basic hand tools. A double retention spring is fitted for safety so contact with the ground is prevented in the event that one spring should fail during a ride. Powder coated black for durability and factory appearance. Designed to work with OEM components - we cannot confirm fit with aftermarket exhausts or other accessories.Learn More$262.95
SW-MOTECH Centerstand for BMW R1200R '15-'17 & R1200RS '15-'17

Installing the centerstand is straightforward and bolt-on simple, no drilling, cutting, welding or relocating other components for fitment. Common hand tools are all all you need. A Centerstand Spring Mounting Tool is available to aid installation of the double retention spring. The spring keeps the centerstand firmly in place no matter the road or lack thereof. As a safety feature, if one spring should fail the double spring will allow you to continue on your adventure without dragging the centerstand until the failed spring can be replaced. Powder coated for durability and an attractive finish, this versatile centerstand will make you ask yourself how you ever managed to ride without one.Learn More$189.95

It is not a good time to be an Abercrombie & Fitch employee.
First, the company comes under fire for CEO Mike Jeffries' repulsive comments regarding who the retailer wants wearing their brand. Now, after a t-shirt mocking their idol appeared on shelves, Abercrombie is earning the ire of Taylor Swift fans who are likely never, ever getting back together with the company.
The shirt in question? A white tee (viewable here) with silver print on the front that reads "# more boyfriends than t.s." Clearly referring to Swift's routinely joked-about string of famous boyfriends, including John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal and Harry Styles, the shirt set the Swifties into action to defend their idol, even going so far as to start a Change.org petition asking the company to remove the offending top from their stores.
Calls to the company's corporate PR are greeted with the following: "Thank you for calling Abercrombie & Fitch public relations. If you are calling regarding the Taylor Swift T-shirt, please note that this is no longer available." The clothier also took to Twitter in attempt to calm irate fans, writing, "Hey #swifties we no longer sell the tshirt. We ❤ Taylor's music and think she's awesome!"
As Swift herself might sing, A&F, why you gotta be so mean?

Add libvpx and x264 dependency:
- the bundled ffmpeg seems to want to use it despite libvpx being disabled
in the handbrake patches
- x264 comes bundled, but there are reports it's needed as a dependency so
that the port builds, so better safe than sorry
This allows to build the port by hand (make install in the port directory).

Remove OSVERSION checks that do not make sense any more.
For example (${OSVERSION} >= 900000 && ${OSVERSION} < 900021) is always true,
as is (${OSVERSION} > 900002 || ${OSVERSION} < 900000 && ${OSVERSION} > 800107).

Replace USES=libtool:oldver with USES=libtool or USES=libtool:keepla in
the 32 ports that still use it. Bump PORTREVISION on their dependent
ports except the ones that depend on these:
In these cases the same trick as in the recent gettext update is used.
Split devel/gettext in devel/gettext-runtime and devel/gettext-tools. The
first contains runtime libraries such as libintl and the latter contains
developer tools such as msgfmt. Ports that use gettext will usually need
a LIB_DEPENDS on gettext-runtime and a BUILD_DEPENDS on gettext-tools.
USES=gettext-runtime can be used to set a LIB/BUILD/RUN_DEPENDS on
devel/gettext-runtime and USES=gettext-tools can be used to set a
BUILD/RUN_DEPENDS on devel/gettext-tools. USES=gettext is now the same
as "USES=gettext-runtime gettext-tools" meaning a LIB_DEPENDS on
devel/gettext-runtime and a BUILD_DEPENDS on devel/gettext-tools.
Update gettext to 0.19.3.
Remove :oldver from converters/libiconv and devel/gettext-runtime. Leave
symlinks with the old library versions to avoid the need to bump
PORTREVISION on a large number of dependent ports. When most of the
dependent ports have had normal version updates, PORTREVISION can be
bumped on the remaining ones (low number) and the links can be removed.

Unbreak the build after r324037:
1) `devel/libnotify' no longer pulls gtk20; we must depend explicitly;
2) `x11-toolkits/pango' now depends on `print/harfbuzz', which installs
header file ($localbase/include/harfbuzz/hb.h) that in turn confuses
bundled libass' configure script and conflicts with HandBrake's own
internal header.
NB: supposedly it should have been caught by exp-run for r324037, but it
was not for some reason.
Reported by: Sergey V. Dyatko
Handbrake tries to dlopen() libdvdcss.so.2, while library installed by the
libdvdcss package is actually libdvdcss.so.3, so the call always fails and
handbrake is unable to properly read CSS-encoded DVDs.
Patch in the PR suggested bumping requested shlib version accordingly, but
methinks it is better to just remove it completely from CSS_LIB definition.
While here, register run-time dependency on `multimedia/libdvdcss'.

This also introduces a new macro to use pkgconf in your ports:
it can take the following arguments:

- build (meaning build only dep)

How to handle those rare employees who abuse FMLA
FMLA abuse is a drain on your team's morale and productivity
Most employees, of course, work hard and play by the rules.
But sooner or later, every manager or supervisor deals with a guy like Tom, who's always looking for an angle. When Tom found out about this wonderful thing called FMLA intermittent leave — which allows workers to take FMLA leave in small chunks to deal with chronic health or family problems — he suddenly started getting terrible migraine headaches. And always at the worst possible time.
Like today. When Tom calls in sick, his boss George says, "Well, gee, Tom, your shift starts in half an hour. I've got an emergency shipment to unload. It's going to be really tough for me to get someone else in on short notice."
Tom says he's too sick to come in and George is thinking, "I better not say anything or I'm liable to get sued."
The company certified Tom for intermittent FMLA leave a few months ago. His doctor's note said Tom can take off work when he's got a migraine. But George thinks he's abusing it. Whenever things get busy at work, Tom starts rubbing his head.
Are managers powerless to fight FMLA abuse
No. Managers CAN take action to curb FMLA abusers like Tom. But they have to go about it the right way.
Don't say, "Look, Tom, if this happens again, I'm going to write you up." Reacting out of frustration and threatening to strike back is the biggest mistake you can make as a supervisor. If Tom sues, his lawyer will say you interfered with FMLA leave rights — and that's illegal.
What you CAN do is get Tom to recertify his need for intermittent leave — assuming your company policy allows supervisors to do so. In some organizations, supervisors have to consult with HR first.
But under the proper circumstances, the employer has the right to require employees to go back to the doctor for a fresh, up-to-date certificate showing that they still need FMLA intermittent leave.
That's a powerful tool to clamp down on employees who want to use FMLA as a get-out-of-jail-free card whenever they don't want to come into work. Use it consistently and they'll get the message. Which is good for your company — and all of your other employees who play by the rules.

i thought recertification can only be asked no less than every 30 days following an the use of Intermittent FMLA. Furthermore, supervisors do not have a legal right to even KNOW why you have been approved for FMLA, nor do they have a right to ask you if your condition is getting worse.

I believe, that, as the problems that need to be delt with by the AHS,
are of a wide geographical area, and the "needs " of gardeners that use
Hostas, are equally widespread, what must to be done is the following.
1. The process that is used to selsct the "board" needs carefull
review. They are the policy setters.
2. The primary problem in most of the "disputes" I see, is the lack of
communications. Understood ( by all) channels need to be established.
This could be done , at least in part, using local societies.
3. The board, which is supposed to be our representitives (Jim Wilkins
words)should take to the "board Meeting"the thoughts and needs of all.
I can find little evidence that they are asking for this impute, or in
fact welcome it. They are about to have a meeting in early Oct. How
will they know what to discuss?
4. Before implimenting "new policy" the general membership should be
given a chance to review such, and "voice" opnions. I am sure if this
had been done with the IAC list, and the perfered growers , a better
more relistic program could have been initiated.
5. The "board" needs to propose a change to the Bi-laws, that would
allow for a vote on major issues, from all AHS members, not just those
attending a convention "business meeting". This should be then brought
up as a motion from the chair, at the next convention "business meeting"
There are many smaller issues, but I think if these "problems" were
resolved, we would have a better organization.

Expanding Cell Phones Reach Can Be a Lifesaver
Opinion: Yes, train passengers yakking away can be a disturbance. But when emergencies happen, will you still consider such connectivity a nuisance?Are mobile phones in planes controversial? Apparently not. But phones on the Underground? Unthinkable! Considering all of the rude names people have called me in the past three years, I was vexed to be rejected by breakfast television this weekat the last minuteas an insufficiently exciting candidate for a place on the famous GMTV sofa. Ive been running interference for campaigners for liberalization for a while now. Finally, the world is moving on, slowly but definitely. But the battle is still not won.
And there are aspects of it that need to be discussed. Is it really OK to have areas where mobile phones dont, and cant, work?

Computing and testing a stable common currency for Mercosur countries
This paper develops a stable common currency for mid-sized open monetary economies with incomplete markets in general and the Mercosur countries in particular. The proposed currency is constructed as a derivative of a dynamic portfolio of securities that proxies the nominal exchange risk factors for a set of monies and floats against the rest of the world's currencies. We find that the resulting optimal common currency is comprised of currencies with country weights that are statistically significant and fairly symmetrical with relatively equal weight (e.g., 22% Argentinean pesos, 27% Brazilian reals, 27% Chilean pesos, and 23% Uruguayan pesos). We also find that increasing the number of countries in a common currency tends to increase its stability. The willingness of Mercosur countries to participate in a monetary union is assessed from statistical moments of the density functions of the implied stable common currency and its components.

Totem Poles
Where Did Totem Poles Originate?
In most cases, a totem is a carved tribal figure, usually a pillar engraved and painted with religious or nature symbols. From where totem poles originated is actually not known. They are made from wood and as such, rot and decay over time. This is especially true in rainy climates such as what we have in the Pacific Northwest coastal regions. Consequently, there are no poles that exist today that were carved prior to the 1800s. We do know that totem poles were present in North America prior to 1800 because of accounts from early explorers. Presumably, totem poles seen by the early explorers were preceded by a long history of such carving, and it is assumed these were predominantly house support beams. Design differences between totem poles is regional and most likely a product of artistic techniques.
Totems decline – and revival
Totem pole carving declined at the end of the nineteenth century largely due to American and Canadian native assimilation programs. Carving of totems was fast becoming a dying art. However, this trend was reversed in the mid-twentieth century as a result of renewed interest in native cultures, languages and customs. New totem poles are being carved and raised in most areas where they were once common.
Totem poles today
Indigenous artists today carve totem poles as booming businesses and educate new apprentices and their customers in the art of traditional totem pole carving and construction. Mdern poles are typically created with a traditional approach, although some carvers incorporate modern icons and some make use of nontraditional tools and techniques in their implementation.
A new totem pole can fetch thousands of dollars, but due to the amount of time an artist spends on the execution of a single piece, this may be his only source of income. Archeological analysis show that designs being utilized today were originally developed thousands of years ago by native Americans and most share a common graphic design.
Totem pole designs usually follow a distinct style. The Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian of Alaska and British Columbia lay claim to the "Northern Style", which utilizes identifiable color schemes of red, black and turquoise. The "Southern Style" is common to the Wakashan and Salish tribes of Southern B.C. Impressive thunderbirds and crest figures utilizing intricate colors of black, red, green, and yellow, white and turquoise are examples of their style.

The inability of Congress to pass a budget is damaging the NIH, the core of biomedical research in the U.S, which has cut or delayed funding for most new top projects, biomedical researcher Steven Salzberg writes in Forbes. He says this has left scientists and researchers looking for work, possibly in the private sector, and he calls on members of Congress to set aside their fighting and just pass the NIH budget without cuts.

Mobile Forms Customization (FormMobi & Javascript) - repost
This project was successfully completed by IMSeriousBidder for $210 AUD in 4 days.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project Budget$150 - $350 AUD
Completed In4 days
Total Bids7
Project Description
Hi there,
(Reposted) This project is straight forward modification of one existing FormMobi ([url removed, login to view]) form and the creation of a two new ones. FormMobi is SaaS a electronic forms package for Android & IOS that captures a bunch of different fields and can perform Javascript calculations in the forms. You'll need an Android tablet or iPad to test the forms. FormMobi SaaS is hosted in US and much of the time will be reconfiguring forms in their GUI.
Three payment milestones.
* 20% after demonstrating the ability to understand the requirements and create the first of the pages in the new form.
* 40% at completion form 1 and
* 40% at completion of form 2
* Form 1: Take existing form and split one of the "dynamic" pages into two dynamic pages. You'll need to check all the calculations - I can get an XML version of the forms to check all the field settings, but the modification of the fields need to be done through the FormMobi FormBase GUI - you need to delete fields from one page and reconstruct the field + all the settings on two new pages.
* Form 2: Using the create a single page form from one of the existing forms.
Should only take < 2 hours to understand how to develop forms of FormMobi - you can trial it for 30 days to get the idea and we'll provide a login to our account to provide more details once we have shortlisted developers.
Contact me an I'll provide a lot more details on the project. Ideally we'd like someone with timezone overlap with Sydney/Melbourne Australia. Let me know if you've had any experience with FormMobi.

Absolutely superb! What a wonderful 2 days! Guide Eddie and driver Pete were first class and every part of the trip from Philadelphia, through Amish country and onto Washington was fantastic. For us from the UK it was a dream come true and many ticks on our bucket list! We cannot recommend this trip high enough.

Wow, what a trip. Stephano was wonderful, extremely knowledgeable and funny. Washington was packed as it was Memorial weekend, but he managed to time everything precisely so we got the most benefit of our tour. A huge thank you to Frank our driver also. Awesome team. This trip was worth it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and our guide Richard was fantastic- very knowledgeable and helpful. We didn't think so much could be fitted into two days but everything was timed to perfection.
We would certainly recommend this tour!

Research says that when you measure your fitness activity, you tend to be more active, by an average of 26 per cent. So wearing the Up wristband could help you become fitter. It's a step-counting wristband, and it monitors your every movement – even when you're asleep.
Wearable fitness monitors are a popular form of tech. There's an excellent band from Nike called the Nike+ FuelBand, a clip-on from Fitbit and more.
The Up is a bendy, flexible length of rubber that springs together to form a loop that sits comfortably on either wrist. It was one of the first of this kind of gadget when it was released at the end of 2011 but there were manufacturing problems. It wasn't fully water-resistant and the cap that sits on one end of it would pop off unpredictably.
So Jawbone took it off the market and issued refunds to anyone who was unhappy – letting them keep the band as well if they wanted. After much careful research and an enormously improved companion app, the Up is back.
There's no screen on the Up to tell you how many steps you've taken or calories burned (both the Fitbit One and Nike+ FuelBand have this information quickly visible). To find out, you have to pop that little cap off and plug the exposed connector into your smartphone's headphone socket. Then the app will bring you up to date on your activity. Though this is less convenient than pressing a button on the device, the information is much more detailed.
And the Up has other natty features. You can track what you eat much more easily than before, for instance by scanning the barcode on a ready meal or typing text into the search box – the Up has access to a comprehensive database of food products and their calories, fat content and so on.
And then there's sleep. Sync the Up with your smartphone in the morning and it'll tell you lots of fascinating details of last night's sleep: how long before you nodded off, whether you woke up during the night and how many hours and minutes were spent in light or deep sleep states.
You can set a smart alarm on your phone, sync the Up and you're ready. The best time to wake up is when you're in light sleep, not deep. The Up monitors your movement for the half hour before your alarm is set. If you're deep asleep it'll leave you slumbering until you move (a sign that you're in a lighter sleep state) or until the alarm time.
When it wakes you at the optimum moment, the effect is dramatic: I awoke refreshed and eager to get up. Which is not normally the case. On the other hand, if I was only lightly sleep already, it would wake me up early. Nevertheless, the alarm, a gentle vibration of the band, was an utterly reliable waker-upper.
The band now has an extra sleep-related feature – power nap. You can set it without the need for the app (two quick presses then one long press on the button that sits at one end of the band) and it will choose the right time for you to nap, based on your recent sleep data.
Then there are more detailed features such as personalised insights – based on your recent activities – and little tips which appear in the app every day.
The absence of a screen, and of Bluetooth – from Jawbone, a company that manages Bluetooth better than pretty much any other – are a shame but at least this keeps the price down, and the size and weight of the band. It weighs 19g so it's easy to forget it's there.
The improved build makes it properly water-resistant, so you're safe to keep it on all day, even in the shower.
So which band should you choose?
The Nike+ FuelBand may help you work harder: with one touch of the band you see on its screen how close you are to your goal. If you're just short it can encourage you to try that bit more.
But the lightness of the Up, its brilliant sleep aspects, the slick and detailed smartphone app, plus the range of cool colours it comes in, make it a desirable, highly recommended buy.Reuse content

ST. LOUIS -- Albert Pujols is making a late, long shot run at his second batting title. Cardinals manager Tony La Russa believes he's already done enough to earn a second MVP award.
Pujols homered and had three hits to run his streak to seven straight over three games in St. Louis' 7-6 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night. He raised his average four points to .357, eight behind the Braves' Chipper Jones with two games to go.
"Albert is a great player, as great as anybody playing today, and he shows it to you all the time," La Russa said. "Just watch."
Pujols has reached base nine of his last 10 plate appearances, the lone exception a sacrifice fly on Thursday. He's batting .403 in his last 35 games with an at-bat, and leads the majors in slugging percentage, on-base percentage and road batting average while totaling 36 homers and 114 RBI.
Pujols was MVP in 2005 and won the batting title with a .359 average in 2003.
"The reality is if he doesn't win it's because you guys didn't do your job," La Russa told reporters before the game. "There's some good candidates, but he's a great candidate and he should win."
Troy Glaus drove in the winning run with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the ninth inning. Javier Valentin's sixth career pinch-homer, a two-run shot off Ryan Franklin (6-6), had tied it at 6 with two outs in the top half.
Reds pinch-hitters were 3-for-3 in the ninth while handing the Cardinals their 31st blown save, tied with Seattle for the most in the majors.
Felipe Lopez singled off Bill Bray (2-2) for his third hit with one out in the 10th, Pujols walked and Mike Lincoln hit Ryan Ludwick with a 1-2 pitch before Glaus hit a towering drive to medium center, scoring Lopez easily.
Reds starter Bronson Arroyo reached 200 innings for the fourth straight season, ending at exactly that many after allowing five runs on a career-high 13 hits in seven-plus innings. Joey Votto hit his 23rd homer, a two-run shot in the fourth.
Manager Dusty Baker normally would have pinch-hit for Arroyo in the top of the seventh, but let him bat in pursuit of an individual achievement.
"It's kind of a goal, especially doing it the hard way this year," Arroyo said. "But I would have taken 199 with a win."
The Reds' ninth-inning rally deprived Braden Looper of a 13th victory on his sixth attempt, which would have set a career best. Looper allowed four runs and seven hits in seven innings and finished at 199 innings.
Pujols' homer in the fifth was a massive drive well beyond the visitor's bullpen in left, a two-run shot estimated at 433 feet. He singled twice and walked twice while Jones, 2-for-2 as a pinch-hitter the last week due to right shoulder inflammation, did not play Friday and remained at .365.
Reds left fielder Jerry Hairston struggled to make the play on all three of the Cardinals' triples, two by Adam Kennedy.
"Certainly wasn't my finest hour, or should I say my finest day," Hairston said. "It's just one of those days where I really couldn't do anything right."
Kennedy tripled to start the sixth on a drive that sliced just out of Hairston's reach. He and scored on Looper's triple for a 5-4 lead when Hairston anticipated the ball deflecting where the stands jut out near the field and ended up chasing a ball that just missed the barrier.
Hairston just missed flagging down another opposite-field drive by Kennedy to start the eighth for the third triple, and Cesar Izturis' sacrifice fly made it 6-4.
