After years of build up, a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden, and a set of recorded material which delivers on a significant portion of its musical promise, it feels odd that the latest album from one of the biggest names in pop music may go down as the worst-executed major-label release of a generation.
But that doesn't make it any less true.
The Life of Pablo — which had its name changed publically four times — has always had hardcore Kanye fans moving Heaven and Earth to hear it.
They stared at a pixelated live stream mid-weekday, waited late into the night for a legitimate means of purchasing or streaming it (which at several points involved waiting for the musician to actually finish the thing), and dealt with refunds from Kanye's own website, which pulled the album after mistakenly selling it to fans in the first place.
By the time the dust settled, the Spotify generation was handed the modern musical equivalency of abandonment: West arbitrarily decided the only legal way to hear The Life of Pablo was to sign up for a subscription to Jay Z's glitterati streaming service, Tidal — who had botched Rihanna's album release just weeks prior.
Fans with no apparent choice found a choice after all; In just its first day, estimates say The Life of Pablo was illegally downloaded over 500,000 times.

To really understand how one of today's most influential artists could have bungled such a big release so badly, we have to take a look back at the bizarre series of events that led to this moment.
Here is the story of a strange musical birth, The Life of Pablo.

From the NY Times Stop Coddling the Super-Rich
By WARREN E. BUFFETT

Times Topic: Income Tax
Related in Opinion
Editorial: The Truth About Taxes(August 7, 2011)
OUR leaders have asked for "shared sacrifice." But when they did the asking, they spared me. I checked with my mega-rich friends to learn what pain they were expecting. They, too, were left untouched.
While the poor and middle class fight for us in Afghanistan, and while most Americans struggle to make ends meet, we mega-rich continue to get our extraordinary tax breaks. Some of us are investment managers who earn billions from our daily labors but are allowed to classify our income as "carried interest," thereby getting a bargain 15 percent tax rate. Others own stock index futures for 10 minutes and have 60 percent of their gain taxed at 15 percent, as if they'd been long-term investors.
These and other blessings are showered upon us by legislators in Washington who feel compelled to protect us, much as if we were spotted owls or some other endangered species. It's nice to have friends in high places.
Last year my federal tax bill — the income tax I paid, as well as payroll taxes paid by me and on my behalf — was $6,938,744. That sounds like a lot of money. But what I paid was only 17.4 percent of my taxable income — and that's actually a lower percentage than was paid by any of the other 20 people in our office. Their tax burdens ranged from 33 percent to 41 percent and averaged 36 percent.
If you make money with money, as some of my super-rich friends do, your percentage may be a bit lower than mine. But if you earn money from a job, your percentage will surely exceed mine — most likely by a lot.
To understand why, you need to examine the sources of government revenue. Last year about 80 percent of these revenues came from personal income taxes and payroll taxes. The mega-rich pay income taxes at a rate of 15 percent on most of their earnings but pay practically nothing in payroll taxes. It's a different story for the middle class: typically, they fall into the 15 percent and 25 percent income tax brackets, and then are hit with heavy payroll taxes to boot.
Back in the 1980s and 1990s, tax rates for the rich were far higher, and my percentage rate was in the middle of the pack. According to a theory I sometimes hear, I should have thrown a fit and refused to invest because of the elevated tax rates on capital gains and dividends.
I didn't refuse, nor did others. I have worked with investors for 60 years and I have yet to see anyone — not even when capital gains rates were 39.9 percent in 1976-77 — shy away from a sensible investment because of the tax rate on the potential gain. People invest to make money, and potential taxes have never scared them off. And to those who argue that higher rates hurt job creation, I would note that a net of nearly 40 million jobs were added between 1980 and 2000. You know what's happened since then: lower tax rates and far lower job creation.
Since 1992, the I.R.S. has compiled data from the returns of the 400 Americans reporting the largest income. In 1992, the top 400 had aggregate taxable income of $16.9 billion and paid federal taxes of 29.2 percent on that sum. In 2008, the aggregate income of the highest 400 had soared to $90.9 billion — a staggering $227.4 million on average — but the rate paid had fallen to 21.5 percent.
The taxes I refer to here include only federal income tax, but you can be sure that any payroll tax for the 400 was inconsequential compared to income. In fact, 88 of the 400 in 2008 reported no wages at all, though every one of them reported capital gains. Some of my brethren may shun work but they all like to invest. (I can relate to that.)
I know well many of the mega-rich and, by and large, they are very decent people. They love America and appreciate the opportunity this country has given them. Many have joined the Giving Pledge, promising to give most of their wealth to philanthropy. Most wouldn't mind being told to pay more in taxes as well, particularly when so many of their fellow citizens are truly suffering.
Twelve members of Congress will soon take on the crucial job of rearranging our country's finances. They've been instructed to devise a plan that reduces the 10-year deficit by at least $1.5 trillion. It's vital, however, that they achieve far more than that. Americans are rapidly losing faith in the ability of Congress to deal with our country's fiscal problems. Only action that is immediate, real and very substantial will prevent that doubt from morphing into hopelessness. That feeling can create its own reality.
Job one for the 12 is to pare down some future promises that even a rich America can't fulfill. Big money must be saved here. The 12 should then turn to the issue of revenues. I would leave rates for 99.7 percent of taxpayers unchanged and continue the current 2-percentage-point reduction in the employee contribution to the payroll tax. This cut helps the poor and the middle class, who need every break they can get.
But for those making more than $1 million — there were 236,883 such households in 2009 — I would raise rates immediately on taxable income in excess of $1 million, including, of course, dividends and capital gains. And for those who make $10 million or more — there were 8,274 in 2009 — I would suggest an additional increase in rate.
My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It's time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice.
Americans Don't Realize Just How Badly We're Getting Screwed by the Top 0.1 Percent Hoarding the Country's Wealth
(First Published in Alternet)
Sign up to stay up to date on the latest Economy headlines via email.
With an unprecedented sum of wealth, tens of trillions of dollars, held within the top one-tenth of one percent of the US population, we now have the most severe inequality of wealth in US history. Not even the robber barons of the Gilded Age were as greedy as the modern-day economic elite.
As American philosopher John Dewey said, "There is no such thing as the liberty or effective power of an individual, group, or class, except in relation to the liberties, the effective powers, of other individuals, groups or classes."
In my report, The Economic Elite vs. the People, I reported on the strategic withholding of wealth from 99 percent of the US population over the past generation. Since the mid-1970s, worker production and wealth creation has exploded. As the statistics throughout this report prove, the dramatic increase in wealth has been almost entirely absorbed by the economic top one-tenth of one percent of the population, with most of it going to the top one-hundredth of one percent.
If you are wondering why a critical mass of people desperately struggling to make ends meet are still not fighting back with overwhelming force and running the mega-wealthy aristocrats out of town, let's consider two significant factors:
1) People are so busy trying to maintain their current standard of living that their energies are consumed by holding onto the little they have left.
2) People have very little understanding of how much wealth has been consolidated within the top economic one-tenth of one percent.
Considering the first factor, it is obvious that people have become beaten down psychologically and financially. A report in the Guardian titled, "Anxiety keeps the super-rich safe from middle-class rage," suggests that people are so desperate to hold onto what they have that they are too busy looking down to look up: "As psychologists will tell you, fear of loss is more powerful than the prospect of gain. The struggling middle classes look down more anxiously than they look up, particularly in recession and sluggish recovery."
Considering the second factor, people do not understand how much wealth has been withheld from them. The average person has never personally experienced or seen the excessive wealth and luxury that the mega-rich live in. Wealth inequality has grown so extreme and the wealthy have become so far removed from average society, it is as if the rich exist in some outer stratosphere beyond the comprehension of the average person. As the Guardian report states:
"… having little daily contact with the rich and little knowledge of how they lived, they simply didn't think about inequality much, or regard the wealthy as direct competitors for resources. As the sociologist Garry Runciman observed: 'Envy is a difficult emotion to sustain across a broad social distance.'… Even now most underestimate the rewards of bankers and executives. Top pay has reached such levels that, rather like interstellar distances, what the figures mean is hard to grasp."
In fact, the average American vastly underestimates our nation's severe wealth disparity. This survey, featured in the NY Times, reveals that Americans think our society is far more equal than it actually is:
"In a recent survey of Americans, my colleague Dan Ariely and I found that Americans drastically underestimated the level of wealth inequality in the United States. While recent data indicates that the richest 20 percent of Americans own 84 percent of all wealth, people estimated that this group owned just 59 percent – believing that total wealth in this country is far more evenly divided among poorer Americans.
What's more, when we asked them how they thought wealth should be distributed, they told us they wanted an even more equitable distribution, with the richest 20 percent owning just 32 percent of the wealth. This was true of Democrats and Republicans, rich and poor – all groups we surveyed approved of some inequality, but their ideal was far more equal than the current level."
This chart shows the survey's results:
The overwhelming majority of the US population is unaware of the vast wealth at hand. An entire generation of unprecedented wealth creation has been concealed from 99 percent of the population for over 35 years. Having never personally experienced this wealth, the average American cannot comprehend what is possible if even a fraction of the money was used for the betterment of society.
Given modern technology and wealth, American citizens should not be living in poverty. The statistics demonstrate that we now live in a neo-feudal society. In comparison to the wealthiest one-tenth of one percent of the population, who are sitting on top of tens of trillions of dollars in wealth, we are essentially propagandized peasants.
The fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans are struggling to get by, while tens of trillions of dollars are consolidated within a small fraction of the population, is a crime against humanity.
The next time you are stressed out, struggling to make ends meet and pay off your debts, just think about the trillions of dollars sitting in the obscenely bloated pockets of the financial elites. I still cling to the hope that once enough people become aware of this fact, we can have the non-violent revolution we so urgently need. Until then, the rich get richer as a critical mass with increasingly dire economic prospects desperately struggles to make ends meet.

I've been using Vista frequently since it lost its Longhorn code name. During that time, I've found one annoyance after another that just makes me ask, "Why did they do this?!" Read on to share my gripes and maybe even agree with me.
Vista has been on everyone's radar for quite some time now and with that, there are a lot of complaints about why certain things are as they are. Vista has come a long way since Longhorn but it still has some issues that make me scratch my head. This is not a Vista bashing article by any means. So far I've been impressed with many aspects of the OS and find the RTM leaps and bounds better than Beta 2.
After talking to many friends, it appears I am far from being the only one who is confused about some aspects. Some say, "I'm sure they will fix/add that." Well, not at this point in time. Vista has been in final release state since November, so nothing major will be changed between now and a Service Pack.
That said, I don't expect everyone to agree with me. Whether or not you do, feel free to speak your mind in our forum thread once done reading! Take a deep breath. Here we go…
"Windows needs your permission to continue." Oh really? So going into the Control Panel and double clicking an icon wasn't enough of a confirmation? For those who are not sure what I am talking about, chances are great that you've never touched Vista before. When the time comes that you need to change some form of configuration, you will get a prompt asking you if it's ok to continue. It's highly annoying but in all fairness, this nag -can- be disabled on a per user basis.
I'd agree in saying that sometimes a prompt like this is important. Sure, it's a good thing to ask when you want to open up a partitioning tool, but to change the date and time? To make matters worse, any time such a prompt pops up the entire screen dims while only this window box remains in focus. While this doesn't seem like a big problem, it can happen when you are least expecting it. Because of this, it can be headache inducing after having it happen a few times… at least with me personally.
It seems like Vista is trying to be more Unix-like in this regard, but I don't know anyone who would willingly put up with it. Maybe in an environment where uptime is an absolute must, that I could understand. My solution to this is a new question at the installation screen.
Depending on your answer, it would change various options to cater to what type of user you are. If you are experienced, you shouldn't need to be asked to perform various functions. Chances are good that you know full well what you are doing.
When Beta 2 became available, I quickly noticed that some meaningless tasks took a while to complete. Most notably, deleting a shortcut off the desktop such as Internet Explorer. I could never figure out why it took 7 seconds to remove a 2kb shortcut. This was a Beta OS after all, so perhaps it would be fixed in the final version.
I haven't run into the problem as much with the RTM, but it still lingers in certain areas. There were a few instances where I copied a very small file and actually had a progress bar stay on the screen for a few seconds. I may be impatient, but you really shouldn't have to see a progress bar due to moving a > 1MB file.
At some points during use, you may wonder if the current process is actually doing anything at all since some of the progress bars are infinite… they simply loop. This is not one of my biggest gripes though, as it's still been vastly improved since Beta 2.
This is a common complaint I heard at CES two weeks ago from friends. Countless people who are making the Vista leap will be experienced users. I've personally used Windows since 3.x, so I've become well accustomed to where things belong and how things are handled.
In general, some of the most common aspects of the OS that experienced users want to access are kept in a different place than in XP. One instance is the Display Settings. In XP, you right-clicked your desktop to access the properties. In Vista, you have to go into bloated menu called Personalize. Then, the Display Settings is the absolute -last- option on this list.
There are other instances that I won't get into. If you are a regular Windows user, you will know what I am talking about quick.
DRM has been a touchy issue with Vista since 2005. For those unaware, DRM is the technology schemes used to protect copyright files. It's the same thing used in the music you purchase online and similar to the protections put on computer games and DVD movies. Fact: DRM is a pain in the ass. I don't believe for a second that Microsoft is putting DRM at the forefront to anger customers, but rather to avoid confrontations with media producers. Just take a look at how Universal is riding them over the Zune.
One feature included in Vista is called OCP Management which takes advantage of various DRM schemes. Most notable is the popular HDCP, a standard that has been getting a lot of attention as of late. Machines using Vista will be unable to play high-definition content such as Blu-Ray and HD-DVD without a capable monitor that supports HDCP. If you are in the situation where you are planning to buy a new monitor for the sake of watching such content on your PC, you will want to make sure that it is fully HDCP-compliant.
There are many other instances where DRM could come into play. Imagine being a fan of a new blockbuster release and wanting to take a small audio snippet from it to use as your Windows startup sound or for use in your IM programs, but not being able to. All ethics aside, there's no doubt DRM has become a burden, but it plans to only get worse.
This is somewhat relative to the "Are you sure?" section. Vista is great at making simple tasks difficult. Using the OS for a single evening will prove this quick. Think that task could be done in one step? Hah! Try four or five.
As a rule of thumb, I think the Vista developers decided to put at least one step in between whatever it is that you want to do. I'm not even talking about the constant nag screen, but rather a menu or series of menus that you must navigate through to get to your destination.
Lack of ease may not come to everyones minds, but I am a huge fan of simple. Something Vista goes completely against.

The impending threat of big budget cuts is forcing a number of agencies to delay or cancel their IT projects.
Federal Times reported this week on a litany of projects that have been shuttered or postponed, including at the Social Security Administration. The Navy and Marine Corps could also see their IT budgets cut by as much as 25 percent, Federal Times reported.
Kevin Plexico, a vice president at market research firm Deltek, joined the Federal Drive to discuss the prospects for IT spending ahead of what many technology watchers expect to be more constricted agency budgets.

In the scheme of things, IT will be relatively spared compared to other areas, Plexico said. In fact, some areas, such as cybersecurity and cloud computing could see greater agency investment.
However, in the wake of the debt ceiling deal and the need for future cuts, agencies will have to make some hard decisions.
From the IT perspective, IT cuts will be "far more surgical," than across-the-board cuts or aggregate cuts, he said.
Plexico said agencies and IT watchers were caught somewhat unaware by the new mood of agency budget cuts.
"I don't think we saw it coming in the way it came," he said, adding that most people expected the economy to improve more quickly than it has.
In the next year, he said, agency managers should look for programs where they can free up money.
But they shouldn't only focus solely on cutting back. Rather,leaders should also find areas where they can use IT to leverage government operations to become more efficient.

Groton — The plan Thursday was that senior John Rainey wouldn't play for Ledyard High School. He ran afoul of coach Jim Buonocore, who opted to go with freshman Ty Ebdon.
The plan changed when the Colonels trailed Fitch by 13 points with less than seven minutes left, and it resulted in an improbable win.
Rainey paced Ledyard on one scoring drive, and a second Falcons' turnover led to the game-winning touchdown as Ledyard stunned the Falcons, 28-27, at Dorr Field.
"I had a little thing with coach," Rainey said. "We settled it. I talked to him at 5:30 this morning and showed him I wanted to be here. And I was here. I wanted to be here for the team. I wanted to be on the sidelines dressed."
Neither Buonocore or Rainey would elaborate on the Rainey's transgression.
"He made a mistake — a big mistake," Buonocore said. "I felt that I'd give him an opportunity to step out there one last time. Not only did he step out here one last time, I think he brought a little energy at that point to the team when we definitely needed it."
It was Ledyard's fifth straight win over the Falcons and allowed the Colonels to retained possession of Colonel Ledyard's sword.
"This was definitely a high," Colonels senior Kyle Wilson said. "It's great to finish up the season like this. It's a goodbye to the seniors, and hopefully put a fire in the younger kids to come into the next year."
It wasn't the way that the Falcons (8-2) wanted to head into Tuesday's Class L state quarterfinal game at unbeaten Windsor.
"It hurts, and you've got to recover," Fitch coach Mike Emery said he told his team. "It's like anything else in life — you get kicked in the gut, you've got to get back up and keep working. You can't let it destroy you."
The Falcons seemingly had the game in hand leading 27-14 with six minutes, 54 seconds left. Saffwan Davis (23 carries, 139 yards, three touchdowns) had run very well.
Devante Anderson (118 yards) had connected on two big pass plays to teammate Robert Johnston (two catches, 95 yards).
Fitch, however, fumbled at the Colonels' 34.
Ebdon had done well for Ledyard up to that point, including throwing a 25-yard touchdown to Perry in the first quarter.
Buonocore opted to go with Rainey.
"At that point (of the game), I was really thinking about what was right for our football team and doing what's right for a senior," Buonocore said. "I got a freshman here who's played a heck of a game. I wanted to make sure he understands that it has nothing to do with his performance."
Ledyard had second-and-11 from its own 41 when Rainey was flushed from the pocket towards the Colonels' sideline. He saw Khary Childs downfield and completed a 43-yard pass.
Rainey threw a 6-yard touchdown to Chevy Perry four plays later, cutting the Colonels' lead to 27-21.
The Falcons fumbled the ball away at their own 20 on the first play of their next series.
Darnay Gray ran for a touchdown on the next play and Christian Albis kicked the extra point to break the 27-27 tie.
Gray finished with 19 carries for 118 yards and two touchdowns.
"I'm happy for all the seniors," Buonocore said. "They're able to leave here being able to say they never lost on Thanksgiving Day. Not many athletes get an opportunity to say that. That's special.
"We're happy to keep the sword at home. It's just a good day to be a Ledyard Colonel."

Sally Field honored at high school alma mater
VAN NUYS, Calif. (AP) -- Sally Field's high school still really likes her.
The 64-year-old Oscar and Emmy winner was honored Friday at the Los Angeles-area school during festivities dedicating its performing arts center in Field's name.
Students and faculty gathered outside the Birmingham Community Charter High School auditorium, originally built in 1976, for the unveiling of the Sally Field Performing Arts Center sign.
Field graduated from Birmingham High School in 1964 before going on to star in "Gidget" on television and later winning Academy Awards for roles in the films "Norma Rae" and "Places in the Heart."
She recalled that the school's drama department "quite simply saved my life" and was the place she could "most truly and absolutely" be herself.

Russell recaps the ACA election and his vision for the organization.
Sarah and Neil discuss their project "Removing the Fig Leaf" with Matt.
At the "About" section of their blog:
Those of us who will be contributing to this blog have plenty to say about the deleterious impact of religion on our sexuality. Each of us has shouldered the burden of guilt and shame placed on us by our religious upbringings. Each of us has had to "remove the fig leaf" in our own way, and perhaps we will never be completely done with that process. When you are taught to be ashamed of your humanity during your formative years, the baggage stays with you for the rest of your life.
But it does get better. Each of us has worked through these issues to some level of personal satisfaction (heh), and this digital space has been created to talk about how we've progressed. We will use this blog platform to unpack our own religious hangups around our sexuality, picking apart those ideas which shackled our own enjoyment of ourselves and of others. Just about anything related to sexuality is fair game, since it's all connected, although the focus of this blog will be on the intersection of faith, skepticism, humanism, and sexuality.
Russell and Tracie field live calls.
In that time, Caesar Ebenezer commanded a world census, requiring all inhabitants register at their place of birth.
Joseph, fiancé of Merry, who was with child, left Nazareth to return to Bethlehem, located due south of Sombertown.
I (Tracie) will do a brief reading from Bulfinch's Mythology, for a passage on the Greek tale of Agamemnon and Iphigenia, as follows:
After two years of preparation the Greek fleet and army assembled in the port of Aulis in Boeotia. Here Agamemnon in hunting killed a stag which was sacred to Diana, and the goddess in return visited the army with pestilence, and produced a calm which prevented the ships from leaving the port. Calchas, the soothsayer, thereupon announced that the wrath of the virgin goddess could only be appeased by the sacrifice of a virgin on her altar, and that none other but the daughter of the offender would be acceptable. Agamemnon, however reluctant, yielded his consent, and the maiden Iphigenia was sent for under the pretense that she was to be married to Achilles. When she was about to be sacrificed the goddess relented and snatched her away, leaving a hind in her place, and Iphigenia, enveloped in a cloud, was carried to Tauris, where Diana made her priestess of her temple.
The earliest references to Agamemnon appear to date back to the 14th C BCE. The story of Iphigneia is reminiscent of the Binding of Isaac, told in the Biblical book of Genesis, which dates back to approximately the 5th or 6th C BCE. In both tales, a god demands the human sacrifice of an adherent's child, stays the execution, and then supplies a substitute sacrifice after the rescue. Iphigenia's tale has alternate endings, one of which expresses the maiden is actually killed. Likewise, scholars have suggested there is evidence the story of Isaac has a similar alternate ending that likely predated the modern tale in which he is ultimately rescued from death.
it is important to note that similarities in mythologies may or may not be evidence of prior cultural connections. And sometimes themes are simply "human" and follow a common thread, despite a lack of cultural connection. I have not researched connection in this case. I just read the story of Iphigenia this week, and was struck by the similarity to the Bible story from my youth. I found it interesting and wanted to share. If others would like to expand on research for either or both of these subjects in comments, I encourage you to do so.

Today someone shared with me a link to a promotion for an episode of ABC's "What Would You Do?"
For those unfamiliar, the program uses actors in public spaces to test how the general public will react to particular situations that often involve moral responses. I've seen one where a man slips drugs into his date's drink in front of other bar patrons while his date is in the bathroom. Many people came forward to warn the woman about what had happened, and a few challenged the man with the drugs directly. In another segment, they had a pretty blonde woman struggling with her bike lock at a local park. Passersby stopped to assist her. When the person struggling with the lock was changed to a young black man, however, the responses were quite different–hostile and accusatory. [Read more…]

Even with bug 592927, f.arguments still causes undue complexity (and gets in the way of the ideal solution for bug 659577). Fortunately, other browsers (chrome and ie) "break" f.arguments even more than we currently do (scare quotes b/c f.arguments is unspecified in ES3 and specified-to-be-a-poison-pill in ES5 strict). Already, in IE9, Chrome, and FF4+,
function g() { f.arguments[0] = 42; }
function f(arg) { g(); return arg; }
f(10) returns 10. In Chrome:
function g() { f.arguments[0] = 42; }
function f(arg) { g(); return arguments[0]; }
f(10) returns 10 when called from crankshaft. In IE9:
function g() { return f.arguments[0]; }
function f(arg) { arg = 42; return g(); }
f(10) returns 10.
The conditions where f.arguments breaks is obviously pretty irregular. Based on this and the fact that we didn't have a single reported breakage resulting from bug 592927, I doubt much code can be depending on these aliasing subtleties. Thus, I propose the following nerfing extension: f.arguments creates a new non-aliasing copy of the actual arguments, always.
(If noone objects) the patch for this should be simple and back-out-able so we can use the same "send it down the chutes and back it out if it breaks the web" model as, say, the single-threaded runtime assert.

Is Bariatric Surgery for My Type 2 Diabetes?
My experience with weight loss surgery.
The online version of The New England Journal of Medicine revealed in April 2012 that there has been promising results for those of us that have uncontrolled type 2 diabetes when we undergo bariatric surgery. The results were from a small sample and presented at a medical conference in Chicago, Illinois. For more information about the study, the article, the results, and the details, please click here.
They go on to say that the surgery should be used to address type 2 diabetes because it causes the body to regulate blood glucose better than oral medications or injected insulin ever could. In my opinion, it appears as though researchers are espousing that the surgery could help anyone, regardless of whether or not a person would need the surgery for overall weight management. In other words, they are suggesting that bariatric surgery could be given to those who do not have a weight problem in order to help regulate blood sugar and "cure" type 2 diabetes. The researchers are hesitant to use the term "cure" but, based on the findings, they believe that the surgery could be the "best" option. I must add that the results were impressive to say the least.
I remember a while back I had suggested that I would consider bariatric surgery in one of my dLife articles and that I was going to attend an informational meeting to determine if bariatric surgery would be right for me. That was in April 2011. I attended the meeting, weighed in at 268 pounds, had an A1C of 10.1, and committed to cutting caffeine, carbonated beverages, fast food, and alcohol out of my diet, which is a requirement of all patients at the Henry Ford Hospital Center for Excellence for Bariatric Surgery. I had told only one person at that time that I was contemplating getting the surgery. My partner was very supportive and had lots of questions regarding the surgery. My family was reserved about the treatment because they don't look at obesity as a disease, but more like an issue of me not trying hard enough to lose the weight on my own (another long story I will save for later). However, I spent some time educating them and they were open to the process and possibility that I would have the surgery.
Prior to considering the surgery, I had tried every diet in the book, with some success for specific plans (Weight Watchers — 40 pound weight loss, but gained all but ten pounds back) and utter failure for some others (Master Cleanse, The Cookie Diet, Seattle Sutton, Atkins, and a few more I won't mention here). Meanwhile, my type 2 diabetes was on a roller coaster ride between good and even better monitor readings and horrible numbers as high as 320 on some mornings. I had become depressed and discouraged and I wanted and needed help.

A discrete-space urban model with environmental amenities
This paper analyzes the effects of providing environmental amenities associated with open space in a discrete-space urban model and characterizes optimal provision of open space across a metropolitan area. The discrete-space model assumes distinct neighborhoods in which developable land is homogeneous within a neighborhood but heterogeneous across neighborhoods. Open space provides environmental amenities within the neighborhood it is located and may provide amenities in other neighborhoods (amenity spillover). We solve for equilibrium under various assumptions about amenity spillover effects and transportation costs in both open-city (with in- and out-migration) and closed-city (fixed population) versions of the model. Increasing open space tends to increase equilibrium housing density and price within a neighborhood. In an open-city model, open space provision also increases housing density and price in other neighborhoods if there is an amenity spillover effect. In a closed-city model, housing density and prices in other neighborhoods can decrease if the pull of the local amenity value is stronger than the push from reduced availability of developable land. We use numerical simulation to solve for the optimal pattern of open space in two examples: a simple symmetric case and a simulation based on the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, Minnesota, USA. With no amenity spillover, it is optimal to provide the same amount of open space in all neighborhoods regardless of transportation cost. With amenity spillover effects and relatively high transportation cost, it is optimal to provide open space in a greenbelt at the edge of the city. With low transportation cost, open space is provided throughout the city with the exception of neighborhoods on the periphery of the city, where the majority of the population lives. A greenbelt still occurs but its location is inside the city.

IBM, Repsol Team to Deliver Cognitive Solutions for the Oil Industry
IBM and Repsol have joined forces to help with oil and gas exploration by delivering new cognitive computing applications.IBM and Repsol S.A., a Spanish integrated oil and gas company, recently announced a new research collaboration to leverage cognitive technologies that will help transform the oil and gas industry. IBM and Repsol are jointly developing two prototype cognitive applications designed to augment Repsol's strategic decision making in the optimization of oil reservoir production and in the acquisition of new oil fields. The companies will use IBM's Cognitive Environments Laboratory (CEL) to jointly develop and apply new prototype cognitive tools for real-world use cases in the oil and gas industry. Cognitive computing software agents, known as "cogs," and other technologies will be designed to collaborate with human experts in more natural ways, learn through interaction, and enable individuals and teams to make better decisions by overcoming cognitive limitations posed by big data. Scientists in the CEL will also be able to experiment with a combination of traditional and new interfaces based upon spoken dialog, gesture, robotics and advanced visualization and navigation techniques, IBM said. Through these modalities, they will be able to learn and leverage sophisticated models of human characteristics, preferences and biases that may be present in the decision-making process.
For example, an engineer evaluating what new oil fields to acquire will typically have to manually read through an enormous set of journal papers and baseline reports with seismic imaging data and models of reservoir, well, facilities, production and export. Cognitive technologies can quickly help by analyzing hundreds of thousands of papers and reports, prioritize and link that data to the specific decision at hand, and introduce new real-time factors to be considered such as current news events around economic instability, political unrest and natural disasters. Using the research tools in the CEL, the engineer along with key stakeholders can more fluidly build conceptual and geological models, highlight the impact of the potential risks and uncertainty, visualize trade-offs, and explore what-if scenarios to ensure the best decision is made, IBM said.

Q&A with Josh Miller, Manager
What made you want to work with food? When did you first develop that passion?
It had always been my family's dream to bring a delicious frozen frozen yogurt and ice cream to Blue Ash. We have done a lot of research over the years, and we feel that we've found a quality product that will "wow" customers.
Are there any dishes on the menu you consider to be a hidden gem—not necessarily the most popular, but surprisingly delicious?
We offer a product called the flavor burst. You can choose from eight different flavors, and the machine will put a ring of colorful flavor around your ice cream. The kids love the exciting colors and the parents love the wonderful flavors it adds to their treat.
Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?
This is a family owned and operated business, and our staff is available to assist customers in any way possible.

Ouran High is a school for the extremely wealthy or, in Haruhi's case, the extremely talented. But no amount of talent will help when Haruhi accidentally drops an eight million yen vase in a music room. The vase was the property of Ouran High School Host Club, a group of attractive young men who, for a fee, provide their time and affections for their lovesick...

If you like cute anime about a variety of hot boys surrounding one girl then these are the choices for you. Both these shows are reverse harem anime. They have different set ups, but that doesn't matter because these episodes are all about the pretty boys eaching taking their turn to have a little adventure and light romance with the leading girl.
These are both fairly fun anime if you like reverse harem anime. Kamigami is a bit more cliche and predictable than Ouran. Ouran has a lot more comedy and faster pacing than Kamigami, but both of these shows offer plenty of laughs and a few heartwarming moments as well. They both have large casts of colorful characters and they take place in bright colorful backgrounds as well. If you liked one then check out the other.
Both of these reverse harem animes contain a commoner girl teaching gods/rich boys about life. She has her hands full with at least one air-head with a heart of gold, tricksters, and a cast of other unique characters. Both animes also put a slight spin on the slice of life genre.
Both reverse harem, plus really funny.
If you liked one of them I will guarantee you will like the other one also.

When Haruka gets the chance to take the entrance exam for Saotome Academy for the Performing Arts, it seems as though she's one step closer to her dream of composing songs for her favorite singer, Hayato. However, this is no gleeful high school musical experience, and Haruka's hiding a dreadful secret that may silence her musical ambitions...

In both anime is the job of the main char to get the know a handsome group of guys. And teach them about them self and love for friends and them self. Because of the main char a really close group will be formed. In uta no prince-same: maji love 10000% a awsome and handsome singing group will be formed. And in kamigami no asobi wil be a group of powerfull handsome gods.
If you like the humor and the chars in one of the anime you will like the other
Well... both introduce a girl into a large group of guys. Both have the girl bring the guys together.
I am not sure how to explain really, but I know you will like one if you like the other.
A lot of the character resemble each other and they both are about a girl who enters a school, and has a lot of guys who know each other, go after her.
After her father moves and leaves her behind, Yui Komori arrives at the mansion she must now call her home, unaware of the horrors that await her.

Both these anime are reverse harems where a group of impossibly pretty boys all go after the same girl.
If you found the agressive and violent assholes in Diabolik too much to stomach then you should check out Kamigami. None of the guys try to hurt the female lead or force themselves on her. Instead, they are an adorable fumbling lot that need to learn about interacting with other people.
The set up of the shows are different. Diabolik is about a group fo vampire guys making a human girl their play thing. Kamigami is about a group of socially awkward gods that need to learn about humanity through interacting with the female lead. Both shows follow the same formula of each episode being mostly dedicated to one of the guys, but in Kamigami the guys treat her like she's a human being instead of an object to be used.
If you were unfortunate enough to see Diabolik Lovers, but still want to watch another reverse harem them do check out Kamigami.
Both of this anime is very good. Diabolik Lovers is more about the Vampire life and mystery. It is also more unanswered questions in Diabolik Lovers than Kamigami no Asobi. In Kamigami no Asobi are there more a history about then Diabolik Lovers and in it you understands the meaning of the anime, so this two anime is very good an a like but also completely different. I love this to anime but it is not the best anime I have seen, I love them. <3
Both anime have an element of the fantastical. They both are reverse harem. Both of them have female leads that are more towards the dependant side.
...I'll say it this way, if you liked one of them you are sure to like the other.

Is there any reason that there are three overloaded getString(String, XXX) methods that take variations of Object? Can't we just condense this into one method? public static String getString(String key, Object. args) In fact, this signature allows for the getString(String) method to be removed as well, since a vararg argument can be omitted altogether. Additionally, I would change the format method to use a vararg as well. Also, I'd argue that there's little value in having the overloaded methods that take an 'int' and a 'char'. I'd suggest just letting autoboxing handle this in conjunction with the varargs. Where is the code generator for these classes located? -Nathan

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Please note, we cannot host weddings or events of any kind. This is a private residence.
Large, 5000 square foot private estate on 4 acres in the heart of Sedona's wine country. This home has 4 bedroom/5 bath with 3 living areas. The master is a king bed, the other 3 bedrooms have queen size beds. Custom kitchen has a subzero refrigerator/freezer, 2 ovens, and is set for gourmet cooking. Baby grand piano and surround sound stereo provide music both inside the home and outside. Beautiful setting on the banks of Oak Creek with outdoor dining and seating. The home has 3 fireplaces to keep you warm if you visit in the winter and a salt water pool and hot tub that you may request to have heated. Large private area if you want to play in the creek, or hike the surrounding mountains accented with grape vines.
thank you so much.
a great place to get snowed in and watch the
kids run around in their swimsuits making snow angels and
then plunging in to the pool. crazy!
We held our family reunion here - Six adults, one adorable toddler, and 2 small and well behaved dogs. The home is gorgeous. It is located in a private, peaceful, and scenic setting 20 minutes from Sedona. We had the jacuzzi heated and enjoyed the amazing starlit nights from the spa. We were fortunate that 2 in our party had Verizon since AT&T does not have service in this area. We were able to use the Wifi and VOIP as needed. We were also fortunate to have chef Jeff available to meet our food preference needs for Thanksgiving dinner. Great place for a family get together!
Truly, my family and I had our dream wedding and even with the few issues we had, I would do it all again. The pool, yard, creek, downstairs bar and amazing kitchen, decks and pure party/entertainment set up for the house could not have made it more perfect. We had the rehearsal dinner, our recption and a gorgeous brunch the day after at the house. Our kids literally never got out of the pool except for the ceremony and to play the games we had set up on the lawn.
I do have to say that we were overall dissappointed in the amount of money paid for the event fee; especially after we were given the rational for the large amount; road maintence being one of them. There is a horse trail riding stable, a construction site and several other houses that put more impact on the road than our 12 cars for 3 days. And we have been to the house several times prior to and post wedding; the road is a wreck everytime. Really nothing extra was provided to us for the large event fee, no extra help, no equipment given for our event, no aid setting up or taking down etc. For example, there was no way (at the time, maybe this has changed) to hook up a phone or other device to play our music, we had to supply that. The grill was filthy (we had to clean it prior and post BBQ), no wood provided for the outdoor fireplace???, outdoor sink was broken when I saw the house prior to our wedding and still broken at our wedding. These may seem like small complaints, but when you are paying upwards of $4,500 for 3 nights, all of this and more should have been taken care of. And we thought it was laughable the amount of money we paid to turn the hot tub 'heater' on....if you have a hot tub, shouldn't it just be turned on for your guests? Otherwise just advertise it as an addition to your pool.
That being said, it is a gorgeous place that we loved every minute of our stay. But if you are going to rent this out with the possibility of an 'event venue' with an event fee...there are some upgrades and services that need to be addressed or your very high for how little you get event fee needs to be addressed.
The house was clean and the grounds were wonderfully kept. We were allowed to come in early the day we checked in to set up the yard and for the most part Brenda was wonderful. Although it did take almost 60 days to get our refundable deposit back on the house (no damage was done at the house). You will enjoy this house for sure.
This property is tremendous. Nicely "high end" with all the right amenities. There were ten of us for a family hiking vacation and it could have easily accommodated more. We looked at many places before we settled on this property and we were not disappointed. The kitchen is so well equipped and easy to work with that we never went to a restaurant. If you have been there, you know how much moneh that saves. In addition to being a great property, it is also on the right side of town, away from the crazy traffic, and near many of the great trails that surround Sedona. Owner and Brenda very helpful and accommodating.
My family rented this house for a mini-family reunion. We were guests for approximately 10 days and really enjoyed this house. The outside spaces are fantastic. There is a salt water pool, complete with 3 waterfalls, a hot tub and a large new gas grill on the back side of the house. The front of the house has a sunny courtyard filled with a flowering rose garden. There are several decks as well. The inside of the house was pretty nice too! The kitchen has a large sub-zero fridge/freezer and 2 dishwashers. Theres a TV room on the main level of the house and a movie area/inside bar in the basement. We spread out in the house when we wanted, and were able to meet up in the living room or kitchen when we wanted. We had plenty of space. The house is a located outside of Sedona. To us, this was a positive. We wanted peace and quiet and we found that in this house. But be aware that there aren't a large number of restaurants you can walk to (but did I mention there is a really nice kitchen and a brand new gas grille in the back yard? Why go out when you have all of this!). Anyway, this was a great well equipped house for us. We would most definitely return here should we return to this area.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The view and scenery are nothing short of breathtaking! Brenda was very helpful and gave us lots of great information about local things to see and do. We stayed over the 4th of July and told us where to go for the best fireworks display, and her advise was spot on! We had two families and the house accommodated us all very comfortably. I would recommend this property to anyone. The dirt road was crazy the first time, but we called Brenda and she said we were indeed on the right road.
I had inquired in January of 2014 asking if the owners would be interested in having a wedding for 80 guests at this beautiful house on Oak Creek. There had never been a wedding at this house, but Brenda and the family graciously agreed. We had a great experience from start to finish. Brenda was extremely helpful, allowing us to visit the house several times prior to the wedding to plan. She also gave us ideas for everything from caterers to rental companies. The house is so impressive and in such a beautiful location that not much decoration for the wedding was needed. We were able to take great pictures by the creek, the vineyard, and in front of the house. It was such a fun weekend to have the bridal party stay at the house. We even had the rehearsal dinner at the house the night before the wedding. Also, there are campgrounds close by with cabins for family and guests to stay. There is plenty to do for a longer stay. The day after the wedding, we hung out at the creek which is right behind the house, and also there are 3 vineyards very close by. My husband and I would highly recommend this house for a destination type wedding.
This custom, private estate is situated in the heart of Sedona's wine country. Very quiet setting, two miles down a private road. Property sits on the banks of Oak Creek, shaded by ancient sycamore trees. Wine tasting, hiking, sightseeing, shopping, world class dining - all available within minutes surrounded by Sedona's majestic Red Rocks.
