Smokeless tobacco (SLT) use has important health consequences, including nicotine dependence, cancer, and periodontal disease, among others. Young adults aged 18-25, including both those in college and those who are not, have the highest prevalence of use of any adult age group. Smokeless tobacco companies intentionally market smokeless tobacco products to college students. New products, including snus and alternative products (lozenges, dissolvable strips, orbs, and sticks), are being marketed as ways for smokers to get nicotine in places where smoking is not permitted-a condition that is increasingly the norm on college campuses. The goal of this study is to better understand trajectories and correlates of SLT use among college students.
Specific Aim 1 : To measure trajectories of SLT use among undergraduate college students over the course of their college careers. To accomplish this aim, we will recruit a cohort of SLT users and non-users from 10 colleges in North Carolina and will follow this cohort using web-based surveys beginning in their freshman year and continuing throughout their college careers.
Specific Aim 2 : To identify environmental and individual-level correlates of trajectories of SLT use. To assess individual-level correlates, we will use data from the longitudinal web surveys of our cohort, which will assess many possible correlates of SLT use. To assess environmental-level correlates, we will conduct an annual environmental assessment of each college campus and surrounding community to measure campus and community policies related to SLT use, point-of-purchase advertising and sales, and promotional events in local bars.
Specific Aim 3 : To examine patterns of use of different SLT products, including chewing tobacco, dry and moist snuff (including snus and other flavored products), and alternative products (including lozenges, strips, orbs, and sticks). To accomplish this aim, we will use data from the longitudinal web-based student surveys, which will measure use and knowledge of multiple SLT products. Results from this study will contribute to understanding factors associated with SLT initiation, progression and cessation and will provide the basis for developing effective interventions and policy.
Smokeless tobacco products contain nicotine, are highly addictive, and contain many cancer causing chemicals. The tobacco industry targets college aged students to use these products. The goal of this proposal is to more fully understand patterns of smokeless tobacco use among college students by repeated surveys of students at 10 colleges over their four years of college and assessments of campus and community policies related to smokeless tobacco use use, point-of-purchase advertising and sales, and promotional events in local bars.

The double dip is coming - data out Wednesday and Thursday showed the climb out was really a crawl that stalled and the descent may even be underway. Turns out the nation did not lose 5.6 million jobs in the last year, it was 6.9 million. Whoops. Turns out retail sales did not go up in December, they went down. Double whoops. And jobless claims stalled at 444,000 last week - triple whoops? Yes - although that does mean we are going to get a triple dip.
But the double dip is in place, clearly. I have been writing in my service, ChangeWave Shorts, that I am agnostic and can read third grade math and you don't need more than that to see the second half of the year is going to be a great big disappointment to the economic bulls. The market, being a forecasting mechanism, is already sensing this, but has yet to fully grasp the impact on corporate profits of a double dip. And that is why there was such a muted reaction on the Street Thursday and Wednesday to some really bad numbers.
Am I overreacting? Hardly - this data is small beer compared to the big trauma slated for March and April when the home buying season begins - and doesn't happen. Defaults and foreclosures are accelerating and will do so through the middle of 2011; much of the pig in the python - foreclosed homes not yet listed - will be listed in the spring; the Fed begins shrinking its purchases of agency debt, raising interest rates that have already begun to climb; the tax credit for homebuyers ends and it is unlikely it will be extended as it is very politically unpopular; and the market starts forecasting Q4 and the holidays.
There will be noise about a stimulus plan, something independent voters don't want, but the reality is the national economy has a broken engine even a fiscally reckless Congress cannot fix -- home building, home buying, and home ownership, the source of a good deal of employment, a good deal of economic activity and a good deal of national wealth.
What to do? Short the obvious - a continuing fall in national income - start looking at logical shorts based on fundamentals and then check out technicals for the "when." An important part of those fundamentals are balance sheets. As sales stay stagnant or continue to decline, debt service will increase - if debt can be re-financed - as rates rise. Who needs a boat? Short Brunswick (NYSE:BC), decent balance sheet, not great. Who needs a high end motorcycle? Short Harley (NYSE:HOG), totally wrecked balance sheet. Who needs more stuff? Short Macys (NYSE:M), woeful balance sheet. Who needs an expensive home or who can get a mortgage for one? Short Hovnanian (NYSE:HOV), surreal balance sheet. And, of course, short Treasuries as tax collections will be less than expended and Congress may actually pass another futile stimulus package.

I won my judgement and then obtained a writ of Execution. It is good for six months. Please advise me how do I go about obtaining a lien on the debtor's vehicle.
The only thing I have is a license plate number, make, model and year. I also think he has another vehicle as well that I am checking into. Thank you in advance.
You cannot put a "lien" on the vehicle. You can have the Sheriff seize the vehicle and sell it at auction. You must front the Sheriff's fees, towing, storage, etc. You must give the Sheriff the specific location of the vehicle. they won't search for it. And, you must pay be prepared to pay the debtor the amount of the exemption, about $2,750. If the vehicle sells for more at an "as is" auction, that amount is applied towards your judgment. If there is anything left over after satisfying your judgment, that balance goes back to the debtor. Check with the Sheriff as to their exact fees and requirements.
As Mr. Lysle stated, the judgment creditor can have a sheriff's sale of personal property, subject to various exemptions, including the exemption for work tools. The process requires you to put some money on the table and invest time to make it happen legally.
It is possible that the debtor may be pushed into bankruptcy if their vehicles are seized. Then, he or she can then use the $23,000 wildcard exemption to exempt the vehicles and discharge a civil judgment.

7 Standards For Evaluating the Quality of Aggregate
If you're not in the construction industry, you may think that rocks are stone. After all, aggregate is only mined and crushed rock, gravel, and other natural, mineral resources, so different in quality could one deposit be from another? The truth is, however, that there is a vast difference between various kinds of stone and types of mineral deposits. Not all stone make good aggregate, and a potential quarry or pit site is assessed commonly for the quality of its aggregate drilling, or blasting take place. So how is the quality of aggregate assessed? This can be a question that affects the customers who have to purchase quarry for his or her construction jobs, although geologists and quarry owners.
Till. Till is the eroded bits before quarrying starts of the rock that have piled up somewhere downstream from a rock deposit and can be studied. Till to be able to get a picture of the stone it came from geologists analyze. Particles that are bigger mean higher quality aggregate. Larger particles also mean that appraise and the stone formation the till came from is close by and simpler to discover.
Boulder size. Geologists need to determine how enormous the boulders are, once the rock formation is found. Bigger boulders are cohesive and have fewer opportunities Enfield Aggregates included, and are thus considered more powerful and higher quality aggregate.
Reactive minerals. When evaluations are done on unmined minerals, geologists check to see if the rock is full of impurities for example reactive minerals, clay, alkaline elements, silicone, or free quartz. If it has a lot of these matters, it's likely low quality aggregate, and thus not desirable.
Fracture frequency. The more fractures and cracks there are in rock deposits, the poorer the stone is in general. Of course, it's simpler to mine, since it is naturally coming but break frequency is a crucial index of the quality of the aggregate.
Contour and surface texture. That is an indication of high quality aggregate, if the stone breaks apart into angular, sharp bits, with rough surfaces. Pieces that are smoother, rounder are indicative of generally an indication of low quality aggregate, and weaker stone that crumbles easily.
Hardness and abrasion resistance. Stone needs to be very difficult to break, to be high quality aggregate. Since it'll resist being changed by the weight that will be pressed on it a rough surface of the rock also makes for higher quality aggregate.
Immune to dislocation. This is a measure of how quickly a stone type erodes.
These are just some of the standards that geologists, quarry operators, and construction managers use to judge the quality of the construction aggregate.

Hi Claire,
We have not had sun for at least a week. But, we will get some when we get a break between storms. I agree they are the most cheerful plants. If you are looking for cultivars that do well in winter, Faye Brawner's Geraniums, The Complete Encyclopedia, has her thoughts on such plants interspersed. A very good book. And, it was the publisher who insisted on the title word "Geraniums."
I have grown indoors under lights when I lived on the northern California coast in Eureka. I had racks with four foot shop light fixtures with one cool white and one kitchen/bath warm bulb in each. Two fixtures per shelf. My plants bloomed their heads off. The lights were on timers. I will be starting cuttings in a week or so and they will be grown here inside under lights.

Can't order here until April as the plants freeze in transit. Some people
claim success but I shall wait. The miniatures must vary quite a lot in vigor
and free blooming qualities. I do know that here and the other list, culture
has been discussed and going over it again may be a bore to some but winter
culture may be a good topic. Something new or some new members may be here.
We have mostly grey skies in the short day months. Really grey skies, we are
probably all Vitamin D deficient. Sometimes it is so depressing a day in the
greenhouse is like a vacation. Because I thought the minis would fit better,
I collected a bunch of them over a few years. Then finding they do not bloom
well, I added a few strips of light (in addition to the glass) to replicate
what I thought natural conditions. Four books on the subject. The lights,
adjusted several times for day length, have not made much of a difference. Yes,
need new to try new cv's.
For the full size plants, I have been ruthlessly pruning them and placing
them an inch from the light to see what would happen. Most continue to grow just
as they would in winter at any other location. Large soft leaves up over and
around the lights. The tri-colored leaf plants are the most winter
successful. They make pretty good looking foliage plants and do not seem to grow into
monster size.
The main difference is clear skies in the western states, continual cloude
cover in the East even if the temps are the same. We are not in optimum
pelargonium land but here and there one sees a plant doing well, blooming well and
providing a good show in the winter months. After many years of observing, I
really do not know why it is that some do well, others languish. Just to be a
bit more positive, I still have my alltime fave, 'White Splash'. White Splash
is in a huge pot containing around a dozen rooted cuttings and right now
blooming with dozens of blooms. I think this cultivar is sterile and that is why
it blooms continuously, never sets seed. This is golden goose of northern
pelargonium cv's.
Happy New Year to all gardeners and do please advise on northern latitude
Sandy, regarding your summer conditions. We have had non-stop rain the last
two summers. Our plants have been put outdoors in half perlite and still
there was leafspot and some rot. Finally all were kept under a roof overhang and
did much better though I did not want the pots in that place. I use all clay
now, high perlite content and watch them carefully daily all year around.
Nothing as cheerful as a "geranium" on a winter day.

The film was also remade in Kannada as Shivaranjini.
Hazari Prasad (Anupam Kher) is a miser who dreams of finding a rich young woman for his only son, Raja (Aamir Khan), to marry. However, Raja is a spendthrift who is only interested in spending his father's money on wild parties.
One day as Raja is walking to his college along with his friends, a passing jeep douses him with mud and the rude response of the beautiful Madhu (Madhuri Dixit) who is driving enrages Raja. He tricks Madhu into thinking that he is blind and then mocks her when the truth is revealed. The two quickly become enemies and play pranks on each other. Raja causes Madhu to trip during a dance rehearsal, and she forces him into a fight with the school's champion boxer Shakti (Adi Irani), which Raja wins.
Meanwhile, Hazari is looking for a bride with a large dowry for Raja, only to find that his involvement in the wastepaper business makes his son a less-than-stellar marriage prospect. While visiting a lavish hotel, Hazari accidentally runs into a rich man, Mr. Mehra (Saeed Jaffrey), who has one daughter. Hazari hires actors to pretend to be his staff and gives beggars large quantities of counterfeit money to masquerade as a wealthy industrialist. He quickly becomes friends with Mr. Mehra and the two agree to marry their children to each other. However, when Raja meets his prospective bride, she turns out to be Madhu and the two refuse to consider the possibility of marriage.
Madhu takes her dislike of Raja too far on a weekend school retreat when she falsely accuses him of trying to rape her. Raja is furious that his reputation has been ruined and reprimands her for her dishonesty and thoughtlessness, pointing out that many men would take their revenge, but he is different. Madhu instantly falls in love with Raja and kisses him in front of her entire class. The two enjoy an idyllic holiday. When they return to the city for their engagement party, Mr. Mehra discovers Hazari's true financial circumstances. Furious, he insults and strikes Hazari who immediately takes offense. Raja and Madhu are forbidden by their parents to see each other again.
Nevertheless, the two continue to secretly meet. When Mr. Mehra discovers this he arranges to have some thugs beat up Raja. He also decides to send Madhu away where she will not be able to contact Raja. Before he can do so, Raja sneaks into Madhu's house and the two are married on the spot. Mr. Mehra banishes Madhu from the house, declaring that she is dead to him. Hazari also disowns Raja when he discovers that he has married the daughter of his greatest enemy. The couple moves into a small shack and Raja finds work as a construction worker. Despite their poverty, they are happy.
Raja is hurt at the construction site. Madhu goes to beg his father for money to pay for an emergency operation. Hazari agrees, but only if she divorces him. He removes her wedding necklace and, in despair, Madhu returns to her father's house. Seeing her distress, he forgives her, but orders her to never see Raja again. When Raja recovers, Hazari tells him that Madhu returned to her father and never visited him at the hospital. Believing Madhu has deserted him to return to a life of luxury, Raja returns to his parents. Later, he discovers from his mother (Padmarani) that Madhu did not come to see him in the hospital because of his father's blackmail. He rushes to stop her from taking a plane to London but arrives after it takes off. Luckily, Madhu did not take the plane, and the two manage to reconcile their parents.

Powerful Multivitamin A++
Reviewer3257717님께서 3 31, 2007 에 작성하셨습니다.
I have been through several boxes of these. They really increase my energy levels, more than anything else I've tried. After several boxes I had to take a break from them in order to get a sound sleep. The niacin really improves my skin and mental clarity as well.
Best multivitamin ever!
Reviewer2124266님께서 8 07, 2011 에 작성하셨습니다.
Great for energy, has a whole lot of nutrients.
Quality product
Reviewer1275887님께서 6 16, 2012 에 작성하셨습니다.
Love all the things this product contains. Definitely experience the niacin 'flush', but have read folks with severe deficiencies are more likely to experience the flush, so expect that to diminish as time goes on. Iherb ships fast and accurately with the best prices I've found.
Really great product!!
Reviewer1164946님께서 4 27, 2010 에 작성하셨습니다.
You will not be disappointed with these vitamins! My husband and I both take these and we really love them. They truly help with energy levels and stamina. Take them as suggested and you will not be sorry! ;)

Opinion: the population within that district, especially towns like Tyler, tend to be low income, not highly educated, and adhere to religious sects that emphasize personal propensity to sin, unquestioning acceptance of authority, and willingness to punish very harshly an act that has been framed as a moral wrong.
The people want to be and often are personally decent, but scientific rigor and skepticism take a distant second to authority and persuasion. Those are the jurors.
My ancestry is there, and I know the mindset.
Without low cost paper of consistent quality, none of the other gadgets could have been designed.
My first choice would have been the pencil, but I thought again and realized that pencils are not very useful without good paper.
There is (among others) a specific reason that HR departments have come to demand a degree: labor regulations under Fair Labor Standards Act, that set the criteria for exempt vs. non-exempt positions. Regulations have evolved so that a gating criterion for an engineering or technical occupation, to qualify as exempt, is an engineering or science degree.
One division of the regulations provides an exception for computer-related occupations. One reading of this appears to exempt most programmers from the degree requirement, but I have heard of conflicting interpretations (e.g. this exemption is intended to apply to IT work, but not to more engineer-like embedded systems work).
The alternative is the learned professional exemption. The criteria here appear to allow some latitude, but the black letter statement is that a degree in one of the sciences, engineering, theology (!), etc. qualifies a person under this exemption.
As FLSA regulations evolved, a number of companies went through job reclassifications, taking non-degreed exempt engineers to non-exempt technician titles.
I was an embedded systems developer, no degree, for 30+ years. My company shut the division that I worked for. I went back to university for a degree in physics, because I wanted something intellectually disparate from my field of work. I qualify under FLSA, but perhaps an HR department would still discount my degree as not being in CS. That said, I went back into embedded systems immediately after graduating.
As a returned adult student, I had the opportunity to observe the university as well as to attend it. There are several reasons that students are taking closer to 5 years to graduate. First, uneven preparation coming from high school. Second, a more liberal policy toward retaking failed or D-grade courses than existed in in the early 1970s. Third, especially after the economic shock of 2008+, a positive surge in enrollment coinciding with a negative surge in funding. It can be difficult to get a seat in required courses. This can turn a 1-semester wait for a course, into a 3-semester delay in degree progress.
Evidence on preparation gaps: 40% of the seats in my first semester main-sequence freshman chemistry class, went to students who dropped or failed the class. The most frequent deficiency was in basic high school algebra skills. Second might have been too much attention to alcohol and modern high-THC weed. Make that third; I think second was rapt attention to text messaging rather than to the lecture. One aspect of being a returned adult student who is doing the work, is being pulled aside to hear the professors' woes; that is where I got the 40% number.
Someone gave me a Jawbone (competitor to Fitbit) as a gift. I refuse to use it, because it an functionally opaque piece of garbage that requires that I sign up for an online service. This nearly always means that someone plans to sell my data.
These punk-ass little toys would not survive my principal physical activity, which requires seawater immersion tolerance to at least 3 meters, and occasional water impacts at upwards of 40km/hr. The other is yoga, and I am not wearing any encumbrances during that.
I also detest wearing anything on my wrists or arms. I wear a wristwatch only during travel, or if I have an appointment, or occasionally if I need to gauge time to renew sunblock. Two of my wristwatches, ripped away by impacts, are now somewhere on the bottom of San Francisco Bay or inside some bottom-feeder.
Speaking of bottom-feeders, I have something for you, Mr. Tech CEO. The only "tracking" that I support is the tying people who propose it, onto active railroad tracks.

At age 10 I would walk maybe 3 miles with a 13 year old friend, with one or the other of us openly carrying an actual firearm (.22 rifle) toward a local hill to go plinking. This was in Southern California. I once bought (at a liquor store) ammunition as a birthday gift for my friend. The clerk phoned my parents to see if it was OK. They told him that they knew about it and it was OK, and he sold me the ammo.
Today this would bring a couple of helicopters, a SWAT team, and news crews.
Stewart might have been a singular phenomenon. How many textbook authors even do well, much less become wealthy?
In some sense his book evolved not to be his book, but a brand name and industry. It exists in numerous editions, some functionally variant ("Early Transcendentals"), and some specifically formulated for one institution, in addition to the arisen phenomenon of annual editions that seem cynically designed to kill the used textbook market.
Price and physical weight (clay coated paper) aside, as a returned adult undergrad I found Stewart to be a good calculus text. So, though was Hughes-Hallett, and she probably does not live in an exceptional custom house/concert hall. And there are ways in which 1970s editions of e.g. Thomas present and illuminate the subject, that were greatly helpful.
Prediction is very difficult, especially of the future. - Niels Bohr

Shamus Culhane was the animator responsible for that long walk home, perhaps the last of the great cartoonists who pioneered the 20th-century art of the animated film, working his way from boy assistant right through to writer/director, from short film to features to television series.
James Culhane (the Shamus came later) was born in Ware, Massachusetts, in 1908. When the family moved to Manhattan, Mr Culhane took his six-year- old son Jimmy to the local vaudeville theatre, where he saw the miracle of drawings come to life. On stage came the small figure of a famous cartoonist, Winsor McCay, who showed a huge cartoon picture that suddenly moved. This was the star of his 1914 film Gertie the Dinosaur who not only did whatever stunt he ordered, she seemed to pluck a pumpkin from his hand and eat it.
Inspired to become a comic artist, young Jimmy entered the annual art contest held by Wanamaker's department store and won a silver medal; 5,999 other children were disappointed. This was 1919, and Jimmy had just turned 11. From elementary school he went to the Vocational School for Boys in Harlem, the only one in the city with a course in commercial art. But his father ran away from home, and Jimmy left school early at 16 to help with the family income. A classmate lent him a hand: Mike Lantz, a youth with ambitions to be a sculptor, took him to see his older brother Walter. They showed him some of Jimmy's cartoons and Walter Lantz, then the 22- year-old chief of the Bray Animation Studio, immediately gave him a job, as an office boy. It was the first step to a career in animated cartoons that would span some 60 years.
Culhane learned the thrill of seeing his static drawings come alive on the screen when he was given the chance to animate a short sequence showing a monkey wrestling with a hot towel. At 16 he was, he said, "the happiest animator in New York". The happiness was short-lived: the Bray studio suddenly closed and the staff were on the streets.
Culhane immediately applied to the nearby Harrison-Gould Studio, who made Krazy Kat cartoons, based on the newspaper strip by George Herriman. They admired the neatness of Culhane's samples and signed him up. The pay was $35 a week, $10 more than Bray had paid him. Culhane, who had been considering leaving animation, quickly changed his mind. However his new career as inker and gag man was somewhat spoiled by the studio's cut-price methods. Their films were padded by repeat actions. "If you had a gag where somebody was hit by something, you automatically had it happen three times, using the same drawings over again!"
Then came a shock that rocked the industry. Walt Disney showed his first cartoon with a soundtrack, Steamboat Willie (1928), starring Mickey Mouse. The Krazy Kat company scoffed, but a year later succumbed to the talkie craze and made their first attempt. "It sounded like a tornado in a boiler factory," Culhane recalled. "When the Kat blinked, somebody struck a cowbell. When she walked her footsteps were accented by a bass drum. It was sheer cacophony!"
In 1930 the studio moved to Hollywood and left Culhane behind. He walked round to the Fleischer Brothers studio and was offered $50 a week. Max, the genial producer, appeared at the start of every Out of the Inkwell cartoon, drawing Koko the Clown. His brother Dave, the director, dressed in clown's costume and via Max's invention, the Rotoscope, was turned into the cartoon. "Dave was a great gag man. His motto was a gag in every foot whether it suited the storyline or not," said Culhane. When rumours of impending closure were whispered, many of Fleischer's top animators quit. Max immediately promoted all his trainees, including Culhane, into full animators, trying them out on a musical, Swing You Sinners (1930). When it was premiered it stole the reviews from Eddie Cantor, one critic calling it "a gem of a cartoon".
Culhane stayed at Fleischer's for some while, working on the saucy series of shorts starring Betty Boop, the big-eyed boop-a-doop girl based on the popular singer Helen Kane. He particularly enjoyed drawing Betty's long legs and daringly nippled bust. "Betty was a good girl," he recalled, "with a hymen like a boilerplate!"
Culhane's career covered almost every studio in the book. In 1932 he went west to work for Ubbe Iwerks, Disney's top animator who had set up on his own. Here Culhane animated Flip the Frog and Willie Whopper, plus some delightful Comicolor cartoons including Puss in Boots (1934). He was flown to London to meet Alexander Korda, who wanted him to set up an animation studio for his London Film Company. Unfortunately for history the money was not good enough and Culhane flew home.
Next came work at the Van Beuren company, back in New York. In charge was Burt Gillett which was enough to lure Culhane. Gillett was renowned in the industry as the uncredited director of Disney's Three Little Pigs (1933), which had become the world's best-known and most seen cartoon. Culhane worked on several of their Rainbow Parade series.
In 1935 he joined the Disney studio, which was burgeoning. Wanting to be part of the world's greatest animation studio at any cost, he took an enormous salary cut, virtually starting afresh at $50 a week. But even he was dismayed when Disney's report on his trial work included, "He should start all over and learn our way." His first attempt at animating Pluto, Mickey's pup, leaping over a fence was unceremoniously thrown in the waste- paper basket. Eventually he succeeded with a scene between Pluto and a cocky crab in Hawaiian Holiday (1937). The short won an award and Disney moved Culhane on to his studio's biggest ever gamble, the feature-length Snow White, where his first job was devising the dwarfs' musical march from diamond mine to cottage home.
Snow White's success inspired the Fleischer brothers to set up a brand new studio in Florida where they embarked on their own feature cartoon, Gulliver's Travels (1939). Culhane rejoined the brothers to work on this film, then became a full director at last with a short starring the popular spinach-eating sailor, Popeye Meets William Tell (1940). Next he directed the opening sequence of Mr Bug Goes To Town (1941), the Fleischers' second and final feature film, released in the UK as Hoppity Goes To Town.
Culhane now rejoined his first ever boss, Walter Lantz, who was having great success with his new and zany cartoon star, Woody Woodpecker. After directing Pass the Biscuits Mirandy (1943), he was given Woody to direct in a classical music parody, The Barber of Seville (1944). In this, Lantz's most expensive short (cost $16,717), Culhane applied live action editing methods he had studied in Pudovkin's classic book Film Technique. With Woody's ever faster rendition of the Factotum song, and ever more insane haircutting, the film became Culhane's masterpiece.
By 1966 Culhane was senior enough a figure to lease the Paramount-Famous Studios in New York, where he supervised the production of 20 cartoon shorts, and entered the expanding world of children's television with a series called The Mighty Four. There were commercials for Ajax the Foaming Cleanser and a parody of Mae West for Muriel Cigars: "Come up and smoke me sometime!" Ten years later he was producing animation specials for ABC Television, including The Last of the Red Hot Dragons. This was his final curtain. In 1986 he wrote his autobiography, Talking of Animals and Other People, a veritable history of cartoon films and their animators.
Culhane married twice. His first wife was Maxine Marx, the daughter of Chico Marx.

League Notes
Published January 13, 2014
TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING? CBS Sports Network's Bart Scott said of expanding the NFL playoffs, "I think it would dilute the quality of the games. You talk about the last spot, people fighting for the last spot this year, some of those teams were a joke. For a team to be under .500 to make it, to maybe even get an opportunity to host a game, I think is absurd." CBSSN's Adam Schein asked, "How can Roger Goodell talk about player safety and expand the postseason?" However, Ravens DE Chris Canty noted the addition of another playoff team "can generate revenue. The only concern as a player that I would have is the owners sharing that revenue with the players" ("That Other Pregame Show," CBSSN, 1/12).
INCHING ALONG: FOXSPORTS.com's Jon Paul Morosi noted MLB was "poised to make two major changes to the sport: A broad expansion of instant replay and elimination of collisions at home plate." But now it is "uncertain whether either will be implemented" for '14. A "major reason" is that the MLBPA "has yet to give its approval, which is required" under the CBA. MLBPA Exec Dir Tony Clark in an e-mail wrote that the union's Exec BOD "discussed instant replay expansion and home plate collisions 'at length' during its December meeting" (FOXSPORTS.com, 1/11).
END TIMES? In Illinois, Patricia Babcock McGraw wrote under the header, "Can WNBA Survive Without L.A. Sparks?" WNBA fans have "said goodbye to at least a half-dozen teams that have been forced to close their doors over the league's 17-year history." But this case is "a little different in the sense that it's the Sparks, a marquee franchise, a cornerstone franchise, a founding franchise of the WNBA." If it can happen to "an A-list franchise, what's to stop it from happening to the less prominent or less successful franchises" (Illinois DAILY HERALD, 1/11).

Another new Labour figure will join the race to succeed Gordon Brown today as calls grew for the party to rip up its timetable for electing a new leader.
Andy Burnham, the former health secretary, is the fifth candidate to enter the race. The 40-year-old is the fourth to come from a New Labour background, prompting complaints from activists that they are not being offered a genuine choice about Labour's future. The only left-wing candidate, John McDonnell, has admitted he is unlikely to attract enough support from fellow MPs to feature on the ballot paper.
Mr Burnham, who has been an MP for Leigh, Greater Manchester, since 2001, is associated with the Blairite wing of the party, having begun his career as a parliamentary private secretary to David Blunkett, the former home secretary. He joined the government in 2005, with the job of driving through Tony Blair's ill-fated plan to introduce identity cards.
Some in the party believed his delay in declaring may have been down to some of his supporters unexpectedly backing David Miliband, another Blairite figure. It had been rumoured that Tessa Jowell, the former Olympics minister, was in line to manage Mr Burnham's campaign. However, Ms Jowell has now declared her support for Mr Miliband.
Ed Balls, the former schools secretary and one of Gordon Brown's closest advisers, launched his leadership bid in the marginal constituency of Gedling, in Nottinghamshire, yesterday. In an interview last night, he seemed caught out by his closeness to Mr Brown. He said they had "definitely disagreed about a number of things" but struggled to think of any recent examples.
"I thought to raise expectations and then not have the election in 2007 was a mistake; I said that at the time. I thought the abolition of the 10p tax rate was a mistake and I told Gordon that at the time," he told the BBC's PM programme. "But I'm not going to spend my time looking backwards and criticising things Gordon did and didn't do. I supported him as leader.
"Me, and Ed [Miliband] and David Miliband, and all other members of the Cabinet worked very closely with both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown over that period of time and are proud to have done so." He also denied claims he was a bully. "I hate bullies," he said. "If you have a surname like mine, you know what bullying is about."
Last night, the party was considering demands for candidates to be given more time to raise the support of 33 MPs, which they need if they are to feature officially in the contest. MPs and activists had protested that next Thursday's 12.30pm deadline would stop candidates such as Mr McDonnell from running.
A change of heart now looks possible after Ed Miliband, the former climate change secretary and leadership contender, supported the demands. "MPs/members annoyed about short nominations timetable: I have to say I agree," he wrote on Twitter. "[We] need broadest possible choice and time for MPs to decide and consult."
Chuka Umunna, the newly elected MP for Streatham, said the new intake of Labour MPs needed longer to decide who to back. "MPs are the gatekeepers of the leadership contest shortlist and we – particularly new arrivals – need more than nine days to come to a properly considered decision," he said.
Labour's procedures committee will reconsider the curtailed nominations deadline at a further meeting today. The original timetable had been voted though by the ruling National Executive Committee (NEC) on Tuesday. Members of the NEC were still angry last night that the party had been "profoundly and deliberately misled" in agreeing to next Thursday's deadline.
Mr McDonnell has now circulated a letter to the other candidates, asking them to join his campaign to lower the number of nominations needed and extend the time for candidates to throw their hat into the ring. He also criticised the race as being "totally unrepresentative of the party and our community" as all the contenders were white men.
Launching his own leadership bid, Mr McDonnell said the party needed to "reignite the moral basis of the Labour party" if it was to succeed.
"Members were encouraged when the Labour hierarchy invited a wide range of candidates to stand and they expected a long campaign with the chance to have their voices heard. Yet the old bureaucracy has reasserted itself and has demanded control by drastically limiting the nomination period. The ideas and visions that our movement represent can not be silenced."
Mr McDonnell, who failed to get enough nominations to challenge Mr Brown during the last leadership race, said that without another candidate, the vote would be "like a fight between the sons of Blair and the sons of Brown".

I raised this issue some time ago, and the bug report was closed with a 'Later' status (bug 2854373). Are there any plans here to get around the IE8 bugs? or maybe MS is planning to upgrade its javascript soon?
I raised this issue some time ago, and the bug report was closed with a 'Later' status (bug 2854373). Are there any plans here to get around the IE8 bugs? or maybe MS is planning to upgrade its javascript soon?
It was marked as postponed because you were using a very outdated version of jsMath (3.4f when the current version is 3.6c). I pointed out that a number of the changes between those versions were to address IE alignment problems, and asked you to update and report back whether you still had the same problems. We did not hear from you again, and so did not revisit the issue. Have you tried version 3.6c? If so, and you are still having the same problem, can you be more specific about what that is, and where it occurs? A URL of an example page that exhibits the problem(s) would be helpful.
PS, IE9 is due out any time now, so I'm sure we will have a whole new set of problems to deal with.
Davide, I'm not meaning to criticize - I think you do a fantastic job with this project and have more patience with IE issues than I could ever muster, but at the time of the bug report we were running 3.6c (it's mentioned in the bug report), and there are full details of the issues in the file attachment there. The issue is simply misplaced maths in both inline and displaymath modes. It overlays other text and it happens a lot.
A more recent example is at http://nrich.maths.org/6504.
Sorry. I think you may have referenced the wrong bug number in your earlier message. Bug 2854373 reads:
we are using jsMath 3.4f
1.We have trouble with MSIE8 mis-aligning the answers for multiple choice problems
2.when the formulae is framed by using the symbols, they are shown properly in
all other browsers(FireFox3.0.5,MSIE6,Safari 3.1.x) but failing only in MSIE8
which states the user was running 3.4f. You must mean bug 2874776, which states
Quite a few problems are visible at http://nrich.maths.org/1402 in IE8 now.
Dropped square roots. Uncentred and dropped display maths. Small sample
The misformatting persists with fonts, images, images plus scaling. The
problems do not show up in IE6 or IE7 or FF or Safari.
I actually do have a 3.6d revision that should address the problem, but have been slow in getting it out (there are a number of steps required, and I just haven't been able to take time to do them all). I will try to get it out for you soon. Sorry for the long delay.
In the meantime, you might consider forcing IE7 emulation (which will be faster anyway). You can do that by inserting a <meta> tag in the <head> of the page:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" >
That will force IE7 emulation, which runs faster, and should not show the alignment problem. Perhaps that will help until I get 3.6d out the door.
I didn't know about the <meta> tag myself when you originally posted or I'd have mentioned it then. I only learned about it earlier this year. Glad it worked, though.

3-D printing evangelists are cooking up more and more ways for you to print food. Pizza and pancakes are all meals that you can (dubiously) print. Even Google's cafeteria has a 3-D printer for pasta.
The ChefJet and the ChefJet Pro are the latest from 3D Systems (the company that won Best Emerging Tech award at last year's CES for the Cubify printer.) This year at CES, the company unveiled these two 3-D printers that use sugar and water to crystallize frosting in real time.
It's a major improvement over the suspect food that's been printed to date. ChefJet candy actually looks like candy. Amazingly beautiful candy. The ChefJet only prints sugar or chocolate-colored confections while the Pro takes it up a notch with an inkjet filled with food coloring allowing for a plethora of colorful, and edible, results. (Though reviews coming out of CES on how the candy actually tastes were mixed.)
Other developments in the 3-D printing of food—such as NASA's research on printing food in space, or printing food with personalized nutritional content—aren't yet fully formed. ChefJet could be a little easier to integrate into small industries right away, think a pastry chef crafting bespoke wedding cake decorations. And imagine the home applications: Parents could rent a ChefJet Pro for a kids' birthday party or to let children customize the Halloween candy they hand out. And just like the Easy Bake Oven of old, the result may not be totally tasty (yet), but the process is pure joy.
The ChefJet and ChefJet Pro will likely be available in the second half of 2014, for an estimated $5,000.

The eighth annual A Toast To Tennessee crushed it! And everyone were willing to work for wine... Thousands of wine fans, fine juices from rhubarb to rose' and chardonnay to Syrah - fabulous, first rate offerings from a relatively new region on the wine scene.
What a great way to see wines representative of an entire State – a tasting like this would take three long weekends to experience. From East to West and everywhere in between.

There are tons of benefits to online educational tools and kids are used to being online, so teachers can utilize Web-based learning materials to make learning more engaging and fun. When students have to use a device that doesn't work with all of the learning content teachers assign or they're interested in, however, they can become disengaged. Whether the content comes from a publisher and enhances normal classwork, or is supplementary content that a teacher could offer for extra credit or added practice, it's critical that the student's device offers a complete learning experience.
Of the two devices we tested, the Windows 8.1-based HP 210 G1 Notebook PC powered by an Intel processor had fewer issues. The Chromebook 2 had more problems, ranging from issues with Java to requirements for workaround apps and more. Teachers need an option that will help students learn, not distract them. Schoolwork can be hard enough without having to fight with a device to show content—students need something for a full experience. The Windows-based HP 210 G1 Notebook PC experienced fewer problems with the kinds of online learning resources that students use today than the Samsung Chromebook 2.

A week after four commercial flights were hijacked by terrorists, flight attendants around the country say they have mixed feelings about their jobs, even as thousands face possible layoffs.
Many attendants interviewed this week expressed apprehension about flying, but most said they were simply glad to get back to work.
''I'm not going to be afraid of something that could happen anywhere,'' Emi May, 28, a Southwest Airlines attendant for three years, said at Midway Airport in Chicago before a flight to Houston.
Carlos Agosta, 23, a flight attendant for American Airlines, said he had heard that a lot of his colleagues planned to quit soon, but ''as for me, I'm ready to fly, otherwise I wouldn't be working.''
Still, Mr. Agosta said, his nerves got the best of him just after takeoff on his first flight on Monday.
''It's hard and you do get paranoid sometimes,'' he said today as as he prepared to leave the Kew Gardens section of Queens for a flight to Miami from Kennedy Airport. ''I was doing service in first class when a Hindu man with a turban got up to go to the restroom. Since someone was using it, he ended up just standing there starring at the cockpit door and I panicked. I didn't know what was going on. I told the guy, 'You have to sit down!' I said that politely but I was really worried.''
The fears are shared by the attendants' relatives.
As a 33-year-old attendant who would not allow her last name to be used got on a shuttle van with Mr. Agosta, her daughters badgered her with questions.
''You're coming home, right, Mommie? Tonight, right?'' the attendant's 14-year-old asked. Her 7-year-old demanded the same.
Many attendants who were interviewed said company or union officials asked that they not speak with reporters.
A flight attendant at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, who would not allow her name to be used, said that she felt safe but that other attendants, especially those with youngsters, were leaving the airline.
''My husband wants me to quit; he worries about me,'' said the attendant, a 20-year veteran. ''But I wouldn't be going back in the air if I was afraid.''
A 41-year-old flight attendant for United, who had just stepped off a flight at O'Hare Airport in Chicago today, said many attendants ''have mixed feelings.''
''Most flight attendants are a little hesitant to get back,'' he said. But, he added, ''I wanted to get away from the TV and get back to work.''
Union officials said rumors of huge defections were largely untrue. But Jeff Zack, spokesman for the Association of Flight Attendants, in Washington, said some attendants were nervous about returning to work.
Todd Burke, a spokesman for American Airlines, said fewer than 50 of the company's 23,000 flight attendants had resigned.
Most attendants said they were pleased with the tighter security at airports, where the police seemed almost as plentiful as passengers.
They also said there was now greater communication between pilots and flight attendants and more scrutiny of passengers.
But the United attendant at O'Hare described the mood in the cabin during flights as ''somber'' and ''serious'' and said that heightened security had led to the confiscation of some items that previously would not have gotten a second look from security officers, like corkscrews.
''Now we can't open a wine bottle,'' he said.Continue reading the main story
