New Executive Order Aims to Avoid Declass Deadline
Another interesting tidbit from FAS follows after this blog entry on some of the "change" we see with the Obama administration. FAS is an incredible resource for all kinds of interesting and important news, as well as for providing Congressional Research Reports, which are very informative. "The Congressional Research Service, a congressional support agency, does not make its publications directly available to the public online. The FAS collection of CRS reports indexed below primarily addresses national security, foreign policy and related topics. These reports are provided without CRS authorization as a public service."
– Ed.
by Steven Aftergood
Development of a new executive order on classification of national security information is now proceeding at an accelerated pace in order to preempt a deadline that would require the declassification of millions of pages of historical records next month.
A revised draft executive order was circulated to executive branch agencies by the Office of Management and Budget on November 16, with agency comments due back today, November 23. A final order is likely to be issued by the end of this year.
There is an incentive to complete the development of the executive order before December 31, 2009 because of a deadline for declassification of historical records that falls on that date. Under the current Bush executive order, classified records that are at least 25 years old and that have been referred from one agency to another because they involve multiple agency interests are supposed to be automatically declassified at the end of this year. (See E.O. 13292, section 3.3(e)(3)).
But in order to meet this December deadline, several agencies would have to forgo a review of the affected historical records, which they are unwilling to do. And so it seems they will simply be excused from compliance. But in order to modify the deadline in the Bush order, it will be necessary to issue another executive order. If the comprehensive new Obama order on classification policy (which would assign processing of such records to a National Declassification Center that does not yet exist) is not ready for release by December 31, then another stand-alone order would have to be issued, canceling or extending the looming deadline. And officials are reluctant to issue such an order since they say it would be awkward for the avowedly pro-openness Obama Administration to relax or annul a declassification requirement that was imposed by the ultra-secret Bush Administration.
In fact, the whole process has become an awkward mix of exaggerated and deflated expectations. The failure of the Bush Administration's declassification deadline to take hold this year does not augur well for new, more ambitious efforts to advance classification reform. If the "automatic declassification" procedures that were prescribed in prior executive orders are not "automatic" after all, and if binding deadlines can be extended more or less at will, then any new declassification requirements in the Obama order will be similarly subject to doubt or defiance.
The latest draft executive order has not yet become publicly available, though officials said they expected it to leak, as did a previous draft dated August 4. "It includes some notable differences" from the earlier draft, said one official. But another official said "It's basically the same as the draft you already have." (See "Draft Order Would Set New Limits on Classification," Secrecy News, September 29, 2009.)
Ironically, today's classification system seems to function more effectively in preventing public access to aging archival records than it does with respect to certain present-day information.
Thus, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates told reporters on November 12, "I have been appalled by the amount of leaking that has been going on" about classified Administration deliberations on Afghanistan policy and other matters.
But from a different point of view, others may be appalled that Secretary Gates' own Department still retains classification restrictions on historical records dating back to the Korean War, and even from World War II, and that it otherwise resists modernization and correction of the cold war classification system.
Some general background on the national security classification system from the Congressional Research Service can be found in "Security Classification Policy and Procedure: E.O. 12958, as Amended" (pdf), November 3, 2009.

Minority Recruitment: Translating General Principles Into Specific Strategies
For over 20 years, the Alzheimer's Disease Center (ADC) at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, IL has been studying individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive and memory problems. Recruiting for clinical studies primarily from people who came to their Alzheimer's Disease Memory clinic, the majority of Rush's research participants were Caucasian.
"Up until about 4 years ago, approximately 20 percent of these study recruits were African American, which mirrors the overall minority participation in the other 27 sites across the country," said Nina Silverberg, Ph.D., Alzheimer's Disease Core Centers Program Director at the National Institute on Aging at NIH.
Then, in 2008, the Rush ADC made a strategic decision to switch its research focus to specifically study older African Americans with no signs of Alzheimer's, and to follow them over time—for life, if possible—with annual exams and brain imaging. The goal is to learn more about the transition from normal aging to mild cognitive impairment to the earliest stages of dementia, including risk factors and biomarkers for the disease.
This change in study design meant an overhaul in recruitment strategies. Rather than waiting for people to come to the clinic, the researchers hit the streets, conducting outreach and education in the community. It was an intensive effort to recruit African Americans for its clinical core that paid off. Today Rush has close to 350 cognitively normal enrollees, who they see annually at the ADC, and 94 percent are African American.
And, the Rush ADC's success in minority recruitment does not end there. Another 450 African Americans are taking part in the center's long-term Minority Aging Research Study. Two other longitudinal studies include Asians, Latinos, and non-Hispanic whites, as well as African Americans. Altogether, about 1,000 minority participants are enrolled in studies at the Rush ADC.
What was the secret to their success? Turns out it is not such a secret. According to Lisa Barnes, Ph.D., a cognitive neuropsychologist who heads the Rush clinical core, part of the answer is adherence to well-known general principles. Outreach to community gatekeepers, building relationships with the community, building trust—these are keys to success, according to the literature and experts in the field.
A closer look at Rush's outreach strategies suggests that their success lies in taking these general principles and applying them very rigorously and in ways carefully tailored to its own community. The researchers have pursued active, ongoing engagement—ongoing being a key word—with a host of neighborhood groups; paid attention to major barriers specific to the community, such as transportation; and above all, emphasized a policy of giving to the community.
"Our motto," said Dr. Barnes, "is give before you go asking for something."
Rush's experience constitutes a case study of what works in a specific community. Identifying these types of approaches to engage underserved communities is an active area of investigation. Recent focus groups at the University of Maryland help do the same thing for other hard-to-reach populations (see box). Both the focus groups and the Rush ADC's outreach effort show how general principles can be translated into effective community-specific strategies.
Relationships Before Recruitment
To apply one of the first principles of outreach—connecting with gatekeepers—Rush turns to staff members who come from and are involved in that community.
"We have staff that look like the people we're enrolling in studies," said Dr. Barnes. Many are people who were already active in the community when they were hired. Karen Graham, M.A., the ADC's Manager of Research Recruitment and Education, is a deacon in Chicago's 8,000-member Trinity United Church of Christ. She and her staff of six are active in the West Side Coalition for Seniors, the Southside Dementia Consortium, and dozens of other community groups.
A second Rush strategy has been to build strong relationships before starting to recruit. "First we find out what the community needs, see how that meshes with what the ADC needs," said Ms. Graham. "Then we give first." That could mean participating in a health fair or sponsoring a luncheon at a meeting before talking about recruitment. Having the time to develop relationships, which can take months, has been important, she said.
Much of what the team does—before, during, and after study recruitment—is education. Ms. Graham and her staff are involved in about 600 events a year. Many are at churches, but they also meet with senior groups, fraternities, physician groups, and athletic clubs, often outside of normal work hours. This fall, their September calendar alone included events on three Saturdays and one Sunday.
Sometimes staff take lunch to these presentations, sometimes they talk about other concerns, like diabetes, and answer people's health-related questions. This approach to education—making time to talk about people's other needs and questions as well as the ADC's needs—is integral to their approach.
One important result—"When it is time for the faculty to come in and ask for help with recruitment, it's not hard," said Ms. Graham.
Another important factor, she said, is that faculty—a doctor or nurse—is willing to go to the community to present the results of studies. "We make an extra effort to make sure the community we serve is well informed. So, we're not just asking people to be in a study but making sure they know exactly what they are getting into and what the results are. And they absolutely do want the results."
Retaining Research Volunteers
Retention is a challenge that can be even bigger than initial recruitment. "It's not so hard to sign up for a study when all the members of your women's group are there and you're all interested," said Dr. Barnes, "but when you are called to come back the next year, that's when the challenge [for the researchers] begins."
Transportation is a barrier among Chicago's older African Americans, so a major factor in retention for Rush is providing the yearly exams in people's homes. The ADC sends out a team—a research assistant first, then a phlebotomist, then a nurse, and last a doctor to explain the results and answer questions.
"Giving the results is a huge thing," said Dr. Barnes. "It helps solidify the relationship."
For brain imaging—the only part of the annual exam that cannot be performed in the home—Rush sends a car to take the participant to the hospital and provides a snack on the way.
Getting people to come in for imaging has not been a problem, in contrast to what some researchers elsewhere have found. "We thought it might be, but people see it as a service, another perk for a community with limited access to health care," Dr. Barnes said.
In addition, Rush sends participants birthday cards and regular newsletters and keeps up its involvement with community groups. "We are constantly in the field," Dr. Barnes said. "To do it right, you have to be committed 100 percent."
Focus Groups Provide Insights for Recruitment
A new report (PDF, 4.3M) from the University of Maryland provides detailed results of focus groups with representatives of 10 different hard-to-reach populations, exploring ways to increase their participation in research.
The report includes the transcripts of 20 focus groups, two conducted with African Americans, two with bilingual Spanish-speaking persons, and the others with people who have specific disabilities, such as visual or hearing impairment, and with physicians, nurses, parents, and caregivers of hard-to-reach patients.
The key factor to enrolling patients in studies is trust, say the researchers, led by Daniel Mullins, Ph.D., at the University of Maryland's School of Pharmacy. "Building trust is not a step in the patient engagement process, but rather an overarching paradigm that needs to be ubiquitous…" they conclude in the "Lessons Learned" section of their report.
Their findings are summarized in 10 guidelines for recruiting hard-to-reach populations:
The focus groups were sponsored by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), established by the federal Affordable Care Act of 2010 as a non-governmental, nonprofit organization.

Rosario could rise to the top in '13
The Twins have some talent at the top of their farm system and this makes the next couple years of development very important. Some of these younger players will be working through their most important years in the minor leagues before they make their debut. An injury or poor play could see their stock fall exponentially.
Plenty of the big name prospects for the Twins haven't made an appearance above the Single-A level. Miguel Sano, Byron Buxton, and Alex Meyer are just a few of the players that will be trying to get to Double-A at some point in 2013.
When it comes to minor league players, the Twins tend to take a conservative approach to moving players from one level to the next. The team doesn't want to rush players before they find success at their current level. This can help their confidence for the future and it can hurt their development if they are rushed.
One player that could be a fast riser in the next couple of years is Eddie Rosario. He is considered a top 10 prospect in the organization but he has some attributes that could make it easier for him to rise to the top. Last season, the 20-year old spent the entire year in Beloit. This could be the year for him to jump multiple levels.
Rosario was a fourth round pick by the Twins back in 2010. He signed quickly and got into over 50 games that year with the GCL Twins. He showed the ability to hit for average and mix in some power. These were great signs from an 18-year old but the best was yet to come.
The 2011 season was amazing for Rosario. He had a stretch of baseball to finish the year that was eye-popping. As I wrote in the Minnesota Twins Prospect Handbook, "Rosario went on a hitting hot streak for the ages to help lead the E-Twins to the playoffs. During the team's last 17 games, he hit 10 home runs to go along with four triples, a double, and an eye-popping .477 batting average."
His swing is very advanced for the level he is at in the minor leagues. Rosario's quick wrist allow him to power the ball to all fields and this could help him get to the top faster than his peers. For his career in the minor leagues, he is .310/.362/.538 hitter.
The only thing holding him back at this point might be the Twins decision to move him to second base. He was a fine defender in center field but the team has a surplus of other prospects at that position. It seems like the Twins always need middle infield help. If he can continue his strong offensive showing and play adequate defense, he could be well on his way to Target Field.
Another item helping Rosario in his development is his inclusion on Team Puerto Rico for the World Baseball Classic. He gets to spend the first few weeks of spring training in big league camp. This gives some of the coaches and front office personnel a closer look at him. His performance has been very good so it will be interesting to see how he does in the WBC.
For the coming year, Rosario will likely start the year in Fort Myers but this shouldn't be his only stopping point in 2013. Getting to New Britain should not be out of the question for Rosario and he could even go as far as Rochester.
Either way, Rosario should be knocking on the door to the big leagues by season's end...

Rosario is nowhere near the major leagues. He is a guy who does really project to have the power to take a corner outfield spot.
He doesn't have the defense for center field. If he did, he would still be out there. You don't move a prospect to a lesser defensive position in A ball because you already have prospects at that position.
But what prospects were blocking Rosario last spring when he was moved to second base? Jonathan Goncalves, the center fielder at Beloit, isn't exactly a huge prospect. Angel Morales, the center fielder at Fort Myers, is more of a prospect but no one is setting aside a spot for him in the big leagues. The only center field prospects that might have blocked Rosario were Hicks at AA and Joe Benson at AAA. Their presence certainly didn't prevent the Twins from taking Buxton in June.
Whether Rosario can make the transition to second base well enough to play in the big leagues is still a question. If he can, his bat probably plays there.
That is still a long way off. There is almost no way he will be ready to compete for a job in the big leagues at second base next spring. He is far more likely to be in minor league camp getting ready for his first year at AA. We can only hope that he is ready for that step.

His swing is very advanced and that was the main idea behind this post.
Rosario was considered an above average defender in center field according to many scouts. The Twins have discussed this when they decided to move him. Even Terry Ryan at TwinsFest mentioned that Rosario was very good in the outfield but they had other players for centerfield.
Buxton was considered the best player in the draft. That's why they took him.
There is a chance Rosario advances far this year. There is also a chance that he has some injuries or poor play and doesn't move anywhere.
Only time will tell...

That isn't the scouting report I heard. The pre-draft evaluation of Rosario was that he lacks the speed/range for center field or the arm for right field. Those kinds of tools don't suddenly appear.
There is a chance that any prospect will take off. But that doesn't usually happen with someone who is learning a brand new position. Switching from running down fly balls to making the pivot at second base is a huge jump.
He is having a nice spring training. But its important to remember he is doing it against players who are shaking off the rust after 5 months off. While he played baseball in meaningful games all winter. And often he is doing it against players who will be in the minor leagues this season.

Jimmy Kimmel reacts to Kanye West's anger: 'Finally I'm in a rap feud!'
Listen to Jimmy Kimmel Live The Morning After on iHeartRadio Talk
Jimmy Kimmel has found himself in an apparent rap feud with Kanye West. On Thursday's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Jimmy explained that Kanye called him to complain about a spoof that aired earlier this week. During the conversation, Jimmy says Kanye gave him an ultimatum.
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
Apparently, Kanye also told Jimmy that he is the "most powerful voice in media," adding "I am Pac." Kanye also supposedly took a shot at Jimmy, saying that he'd never be able to show his face at a 14-year-old's football game and be considered cool again. While Jimmy's report of the conversation provoked laughs from the audience, he swore that it was all true.
Following the call, Kanye went on a Twitter tirade, launching a series of angry and uncensored tweets. News of the angry tweets arrived before the showed aired, but Jimmy decided to read a number of them out loud. Kanye wrote that Jimmy's spoof was "OUT OF LINE." He also claimed that Jimmy's ex-girlfriend Sarah Silverman is "a thousand times funnier" than him.

One of the good things about the salary cap – from a team's perspective – is that there are some bargains out there.
The Canadiens added veteran defenceman Alexandre Picard on the weekend and he signed a two-way contract which will pay hinm a meagre $600,000 if he sticks in the NHL. That's less than the $850,000 he made last season in Ottawa and Carolina. Picard will collect $105,000 Cdn if he plays in Hamilton. He and Curtis Sanford are the only Bulldogs earning more $100,000 and that's a recognition of their veteran status.

text: Article | Manufacturing & Service Operations Management | Winter 2016 Improving Store Liquidation Nathan Craig and Ananth Raman This paper introduces methods for increasing the efficiency of retail store liquidation, which we define as the time-constrained divestment of retail outlets through an in-store sale of inventory. The retail industry depends extensively on liquidation, not only as a means for investors to recover capital from failed ventures, but also to allow managers of going concerns to divest stores in efforts to enhance performance and to change strategy. The operations literature has examined product liquidation, but retail store liquidation differs significantly. This paper augments the literature by introducing techniques for improving operating decisions during retail store liquidations and by demonstrating the performance of these methods in the field.

A year ago Damrosch married the daughter of a very rich and distinguished man.
First I went to say good-bye to Damrosch, as he is going to Europe.
Damrosch annoyed me very much by taking up the best of the time for himself and leaving the rest of the rehearsal to me.
Damrosch(who was conducting without his coat) appeared very pleasant.
Where, now, could be seen such an audience as Dr. Damrosch had gathered for his first season of German opera?

Repeated incursions by Xhosa peoples from the area into territory settled by European farmers began in the late 18th century. An ensuing series of wars, the Cape Frontier Wars, resulted in the complete incorporation of the Ciskei region into the Cape Colony by the end of the 19th century. Ciskei became an administratively distinct territory within South Africa in 1961 and acquired a legislative assembly and an executive council 10 years later. In 1972 Ciskei was declared a self-governing black stateBantustan, with its capital at Zwelitsha, and in 1981 it became (nominally) independent was declared an independent republic under an act passed by the South African Parliament. The new republic functioned as an official homeland for millions of Xhosa-speaking Africans in South Africa who were denied citizenship in that country under the laws of the apartheid system.
Under the new South African constitution , which that abolished the apartheid system, Ciskei in 1994 was reincorporated into South Africa as part of newly created Eastern Cape province in 1994.

Yesterday we went to a Mexican restaurant and the whole time we were eating TWO different people from 2 different tables kept staring at the mess lo was making. then when we were done I picked lo up and brushed him off and they just starred in disbelief like they couldn't believe I was going to do that and make a bigger mess.
They really pissed me and DH (dear husband) off because we ALWAYS leave a MINIMUM of 20% tip but usually leave about 25% tip. In fact many servers have told us its not a big deal to clean as they just sweep really quick and they're done.
Ugh just had to vent bc i was so pissed off!

PURCHASE, NY -- PepsiCo said it has entered into a four-year partnership with a developer of food and beverage flavor ingredients that reportedly will allow it to bring lower-calorie beverages to market using natural, high-potency sweeteners.
Under the agreement, PepsiCo will have exclusive rights to Senomyx Inc.'s sweet-flavor ingredients developed through the collaboration for use in nonalcoholic beverage categories. Senomyx will receive an upfront payment of $30 million from PepsiCo and will also be entitled to $32 million in research and development payments over the four-year research period.
Senomyx chief executive Kent Snyder said the partnership would allow the company to expand its research efforts to discover enhancers of sweeteners such as sucrose and fructose and identify new, natural high-potency sweeteners.
PepsiCo chief scientific officer Mehmood Khan added: "This relationship with Senomyx reflects our increasingly long-term approach to research and development as well as our belief that global food and beverage companies can play an important role in identifying new ingredients that can lead to healthier products."
Kahn observed that beverage giant's biggest challenge is to create "healthy" products that also taste good. "Senomyx has unique technologies that will allow us to improve the nutritional profile of our products without sacrificing taste," he said.
The cold drink scientist predicted that the collaboration will help PepsiCo reach its goal of reducing added sugar per serving by 25% in major brands in key markets over the next decade.

Bell Financial Transparency
The city of Bell is joining more than two dozen cities in California that uses a program that converts and organizes financial data, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Bell's city manager believes the program will help taxpayers learn more about local government.
Bell was rocked by a scandal three years ago when some civic leaders were accused of drawing huge salaries and collecting generous benefits.
Five former council members were convicted last March of fraud charges. Ex-City Manager Robert Rizzo recently pleaded no contest to 69 counts and will likely be sentenced to no more than 10 to 12 years in prison. The city's former Assistant City Manager Angel Spaccia is currently on trial.
Local municipalities can send their financial data to OpenGov Inc., which uploads it into their system for city and public use. The information is put into charts designed to help people understand the information more easily.
Bell retooled its website earlier this year and published various city documents. Council meetings are now streamed live online.
Councilman Ali Saleh said he hopes the new resource will reinforce public trust in government.
"This is really something all cities should be doing in order to cut through the political spin and allow the public and electorate to focus on the issues and business of governance in an informed and substantial manner," Saleh said.

The herd has been culled…remaining heats at the Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro include Fred Patacchia, Dusty Payne, the Hobgood brothers, Wardo, Michel Bourez, Dane Reynolds, Rob Machado and more. Log on to www.fuel.tv Friday and Saturday for a near hi-def Web cast!
Improved Conditions Bring Explosive Action to Round 3 of 6.0 Lowers Pro
Lower Trestles. Photo: Carl Steindler
SAN CLEMENTE, California (Thursday, April 30, 2009) – Exciting action continued in Round 3 of the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Qualifying Series (WQS) 6-Star PRIME 6.0 Lowers Pro today when the event's top performers donated spectacular surfing in the best conditions of the event. The two-to-four foot (1 metre) surf on offer also hosted the opening round of the ASP Grade-2 Oakley Pro Junior and saw young goofy-footer Conner Coffin (Santa Barbara, CA), 15, post the event's first perfect 10-point-ride.
With the 6.0 Lowers Pro offering the maximum amount of points towards qualification for the ASP Dream Tour due to its 6-Star PRIME status, the event plays an integral role in all surfers 2009 campaigns. The ASP North America Pro Junior Series acts as a qualifier for the ASP World Junior Championships. At year's end, each region sends its top seeds to do battle in Narrabeen, Australia in an attempt to take out the title of ASP World Junior Champion.
Nat Young (Santa Cruz, CA), 17, continued to dominate the righthand walls of Lower Trestles on his backhand today, unleashing the day's highest single wave score of 6.0 Lowers Pro competition, a near-perfect 9.57 out of 10. Young needed a nine-point-ride to advance through his Round 3 heat and earned the score in the dying minutes to progress through to Round 4.
"I pretty much had counted myself out of the heat by then," Young said. "Once I saw that wave I knew it was going to be a good right and I just surfed it. Towards the end I was thinking, I could actually get the score!"
The impressive result by the Santa Cruz talent will earn him the most points of his career on the ASP WQS, significantly helping his seed on the The Grind. Young will now enter in to the three-man heat format utilized in ASP 6-Star PRIME competition and will face a stacked heat against current ASP World Tour No. 5 C.J. Hobgood (Melbourne, FL), 29, and ASP World Tour sophomore Dane Reynolds (Ventura, CA), 23, tomorrow.
"I think this is the most points I've ever gotten, so I'm stoked," Young said. "Plus, next heat is only a three-man heat, so it's one less person in the water out at Lowers. If I get through that heat I'll be stoked."
Adriano De Souza (Guaruja Sao Paulo, BRA), 22, was a standout in yesterday's action and continued to flare today when he donated the highest heat total of 6.0 Lowers Pro competition when he dropped a 17.43 out of 20 to advance through to Round 4.
"I feel a little bit more consistent today," De Souza said. "I've been getting lucky, everything has been going my way and my boards have been going really good."
Although Lower Trestles' rights often offer the highest scoring potential, the young Brazilian has been capitalizing on the steep lefthand walls to earn his top scores. De Souza is planning to use the same strategy as the event progresses.
"I've really been getting my best waves on the lefts," De Souza said. "My three best waves in that heat were lefts and yesterday I was able to get big scores on the left handers instead of the rights and I think tomorrow will be the same because I'm surfing around the same tide."
Dusty Payne (Lahaina, HI), 20, showed why he is considered by several of his peers to be one of the most progressive surfers on the planet when he dropped an 8.33 out of 10 with only two maneuvers. The Lahaina local blasted a radical tail-drifting first turn and followed up with a massive frontside air-reverse on a closeout section to earn the score, eventually allowing him to convincingly win his heat.
"The wave didn't offer a whole lot, so it was either go for it or get a 3-point-score," Payne said. "That's what I had to do to make it through the heat because there are not a lot of waves and hopefully you come up on top."
2008 was Payne's final year in the ASP Pro Junior Series and the young Hawaiian is having a successful campaign on the ASP WQS this year. The talented regular-footer is currently rated 16th overall on the ASP WQS and taking his quest for qualification for the ASP Dream Tour event-by-event.
"I'm just going event-by-event and am going to see where I am halfway through the year," Payne said. "If I'm in the top 16 at the halfway point in the year I'm definitely going to make a push to qualify. It's my dream to be on the World Tour, so we'll see how the year goes."
Coffin got off to a slow start in his opening 2009 ASP North America Pro Junior heat, but he eventually calmed his nerves enough to annihilate a Lowers lefthander to earn the first perfect 10-point-score of Oakley Pro Junior competition with several vertical forehand blasts. The jaw-dropping performance was added to another near-perfect 9.67, which was also earned on a left.
"I had started out that heat so bad," Coffin said. "I was so nervous and I got a beautiful right and fell. I didn't even know what I was doing. Then I got those two lefts."
Coffin is making good use of the entrance he earned into the Oakley Pro Junior as a wildcard and is enjoying surfing Lowers with only three other guys in the lineup.
"I'm only in to this contest because Oakley gave me a wildcard," Coffin said. "I'm so stoked that I can compete in this event. There were so many waves in my heat and it's so fun to surf Lowers with only a few guys out."
Tomorrow's action will see the 6.0 Lowers Pro complete Round 4 as well as Round 5 before it returns to Oakley Pro Junior competition. The day's opening Round 4 heat will be an all-Hawaiian heat including ASP World Tour surfer Fred Patacchia (North Shore, HI), 27, Dusty Payne (Lahaina, HI), 20, and Evan Valiere (Kauai, HI).

Portland Police were called to the Skinn Strip Club at 2:23 a.m. Wednesday for a shooting. When officers arrived, they found a man dead in the parking lot and a woman injured.
Witnesses say there was a dispute inside of the strip club and the bar tender told the men to take it outside. In the parking lot, the altercation boiled over and one man started shooting.
The victim, 33-year-old Anton Lashawn Hill, was shot in the head and died. A woman, whose name hasn't been released, suffered a non-life threatening injury.
The suspect in the shooting fled. Police don't have a good description of the suspect only that he's a light-skinned African American man.
Police are asking any other witnesses or anyone with knowledge about the suspect to contact them.

Evolution Hoax
He is Allah—there is no deity but Him. He is the King, the Most Pure, the Perfect Peace, the Trustworthy, the Safeguarder , the Almighty, the Compeller, the Supremely Great. Glory be to Allah above all they associate with Him. ( Surat al-Hashr, 59:23)
The laws of physics, which ensure a flawless order in the universe, are the best evidence of the divine protection of Allah, Who created them, over His servants. For instance, what would happen if Earth's gravity were less? Primarily, light things would not remain fixed on Earth. In the mildest breeze, a dust or a sand particle would flit about for hours. The speed of rain drops would slow down, causing them to evaporate before falling on the ground. Newton 's law of gravitation, which explains the delicate balance between the orbits of Earth, the Moon, and the planets, is another example. A minor change in this balance would cause Earth to draw near to the Sun and thus burn or be thrown into space, where it would freeze.
What would a world deprived of friction between objects and surfaces look like? A pen would slip out of one's hand, books and objects would slide down tables, and a table would slide and hit the wall. In brief, all objects would slide and roll. In a world without friction, all knots would unfasten, nails and screws would come out, brakes would never function, and sounds would continue to resound from one wall to another...
Another example is Earth's secure and strong structure. Toward its center, the temperature rises by 30° Celsius (86° Fahrenheit) every kilometer, reaching probably 4,500° Celsius (8,132° Fahrenheit) at its core. When we consider that only 1 kilometer ( 0,6214 miles ) below the surface the temperature reaches 60° Celsius (140° Fahrenheit), we can grasp the dimensions of this threat. Despite this, however, all living beings lead their lives in absolute security, unaware of the magma boiling underneath them.
Clearly, Allah creates a perfect order on Earth's surface, which actually shelters an internal ball of fire. Thus, there is no room for any randomness. He holds sway over the heavens and Earth and protects all living beings in the universe against all threats, whether known to them or not. Meanwhile, He places the fetus in a very protected place. As these examples show, many things that seem normal to us are, in actuality, manifestations of His mercy and divine protection over His servants, for there is no other reason for the existence of such order and unity in the universe. Allah is the best of protectors.2009-08-19 11:28:56

Clinical Psychologists are exceptionally well-trained in working with clients to understand and modify behavior. Unlike psychiatrists who go to medical school then focus in their residency on mental illness, clinical psychologists study growth and development, personality, interpersonal processes, social and emotional aspects of behavior, and so on ... Not a "disease model" but a much more complex and rounded perspective on our lives. Clinical psychologists obtain a bachelors degree, then four or five years of graduate school to earn a Ph.D., including a pre-doctoral internship, then one or two years of post-doctoral supervised experience before licensure.

LFE gen server Example
Lisp Flavored Erlang: gen_server Example
This is a very simple gen_server example. It implements a locally registered server which keeps an integer as state and can return the current integer or the next one (in which case the state will increment).
- Save the code to count_server.lfe
- Compile it from the Erlang shell with lfe_comp:file(count_server).
Using From the Erlang Shell
Since LFE modules are just like normal modules, you use them the same way:
- Load the new module with l(count_server).
- Start up the server with count_server:start_link().
- Send it commands like count_server:current(). or count_server:next().
Using From the LFE Shell
;; count_server.lfe ;; Simple gen_server example. (defmodule count_server (behavior 'gen_server) ;; gen_server exports (export (init 1) (handle_call 3) (handle_cast 2) (handle_info 2) (terminate 2) (code_change 3)) ;; public functions (export (start_link 0) (current 0) (next 0))) ;; gen_server implementation (defun init (args) #(ok 0)) (defun handle_call (('next _ n) (let ((new (+ n 1))) (tuple 'reply (tuple 'ok new) new))) (('current _ n) (tuple 'reply (tuple 'ok n) n))) (defun handle_cast (req state) (tuple 'stop #(error not_implemented) state)) (defun handle_info (info state) (tuple 'stop #(error not_implemented) state)) (defun terminate (reason state) 'ok) (defun code_change (oldvsn state extra) (tuple 'ok state)) ;; public functions (defun start_link () (: gen_server start_link #(local count_server) 'count_server () ())) (defun current () (: gen_server call 'count_server 'current)) (defun next () (: gen_server call 'count_server 'next))

The popular social bookmarking site Digg sold today or in recent days for $500,000. Many are surprised and reporting that they think the sold price is very low for the site which has many users and is generally well received. Do you think the sale price is low? How do you think the acquisition will affect the service? Is Digg going to go under or rise to the top?
Considering it was valued at one time at $300m it could be considered a low price, though the buyer would have done due diligence on usage stats and revenue streams no doubt. There was a mass exodus of staff a while back to another company, it's been operating on a skeleton staff so wasn't going anywhere without some fresh investment and direction.
May I know who is the buyer? Which group?
My apologies for dropping this in the wrong section. I had no idea that Digg had recently experienced a mass exodus. Are you willing to say which company they moved to? I hope that Betaworks is ready to bring it back up to speed. These types of social bookmarking services can be a very interesting gauge as to what the public finds most interesting. It is also a good way to discover articles that you may not come across in your daily media stroll.
$500k was only the price paid by Betaworks for the domain name, code, data and traffic. The Washington Post had previously forked out around $12m for the Digg team, and Linked In paid about $4m for 15 Digg patents
Hummm... I still do not understand how much money the Digg.com people received. If the total $ 500,000 is too low price.
$500k + $4m = $4.5m approx in total went to the Digg owners. The $12m was largely used to compensate ex-Digg staff for loss of share options etc
$500k is only for the site alone. There have been other sales such as patents etc.
I think Kevin Rose has said in the past that he missed the boat on selling, but onwards and upwards.
Whatever may be the price, let's hope to see Digg on the rise. It's a very user-friendly Social Media site used by most.
As others have said, the sale was kind of just for the "website itself", the sale wasn't for the "company" and "all of its assets"; as they have sold several different "assets" off already that could be seen to devalue them to any future buyers. If I were buying a website that owned patents, I'd be interested in owning the technology AND the patents as well.
Even then it seems to be a bit low but then I'm not privvy to the inside of Digg that potential buyers would become aware of through their due diligence process.
wow!if to be honest, the price doesnt surprise me , because digg was one of the first bookmarketing sites.i thought the price would be higher than 500,000$.
but why they sell digg? what is the main reason?
It's an extremely low price, especially since the site basically IS web 2.0 but I'm hoping they will bring it back to its former glory
Some of the decisions that Digg took as a part of redesigning hurt them back. They removed the 'bury' button back in 2010 ans this caused enrage among users. Most of the Digg loyal users moved out to Reddit as a result of this unfortunate redesign in 2010.
I think that the price is very low for this site , because it's not a serious money for site like that . I think that nearly cost of this site is above then 5.5 million $ . I think the company who buy this website have a serious plans about this website .
This is a really good lesson. You have to time the market. Sometimes holding on too long means less $$. In this case, a lot less!
i haven't used digg since then. I don't like the site now. You only can add the link and that's it. There's no way to know if the link got posted whatsoever. I mean, you can't track your own submission.

Export to xmgrace format
Hi all,
I have some colleagues who are nuts for xmgrace. I can't stand
it; I do all my analysis, fitting and graphics creation in Mathematica.
However, it's gotten to be such a headache fighting with these
guys over the graphics format that I was hoping to find some way
to export graphics into an xmgrace format that would make them
happy. Does anybody know of such a package?

Brevard outslugs Milligan 13-9March 16, 2010
Mullis homers twice, drives in five
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College baseball team defeated Milligan College 13-9 in nine innings Tuesday at Gil Coan Field. Brevard (5-13) scored five runs in both the first and third innings and Stephen Mullis homered twice as the Tornados snapped a three game losing streak.
The Buffaloes (8-8) put up single runs in each of the first two innings. Eric Oxley doubled to right field to plate Dustin Ford in the top of the first, and Dallas Crouch reached on an error in the second, and scored on Todd Caldwell's RBI single.
Brevard scored five runs on four hits in the bottom of the first. With the bases loaded and the game tied at one, Kramer Clark doubled to center field to drive in Kellen Moman and Stephen Mullis. Matthew Pruitt followed with a two RBI double of his own, plating Clark and Jackie Corn. Pruitt went two for five in the game.
Eric Renegar hit a bases loaded single in the Brevard half of the third to drive in two. He was two for five with two runs scored and two RBI on the day. Mullis doubled down the left field line to drive in two more Tornados. Moman capped off the scoring with an RBI single to left to drive in Mullis.
Staked to an early 10-2 lead, Brevard starter Shane Galloway worked six innings and recorded his first win of the season. He allowed nine hits and seven runs (four earned), while striking out four.
In the fifth inning, Mullis hit the first of his two homers, driving a Josh Hullett pitch over the right field fence for a two-run blast. With two out and none on in the seventh Mullis lined a first pitch fastball from Frank Newcomb over the wall in right for his fourth home run of the season. Mullis finished the day going four for five with five RBI and four runs scored.
Joseph Lepore worked the final three innings to notch his first save of the year. He allowed two runs on four hits while striking out two.
Milligan's LA Owens worked two and a third innings in taking the loss. He is 1-2 on the year. Brett Maddox was the big bat for the Buffaloes, going four for five with three RBI and scoring twice, including a two run home run in the ninth inning.
Milligan travels to Covenant College for a 2 p.m. first pitch Friday March 19. Brevard hosts Wingate Friday at 2 p.m. in the opener of a three-game South Atlantic Conference series.

This year the Ayang Rinpoche 16th Annual Phowa Course will overlap with teachings in Bodhgaya by His Holiness the Dalai Lama from January 5-10. Rinpoche says, "it would be a very good opportunity for the people coming to phowa this year to be able to also receive the blessings and teachings of HH Dalai Lama at the same time." Rinpoche has changed his daily schedule slightly to accommodate. He advises everyone to make advance bookings for their flight and especially for room reservations in Bodhgaya, due to the large number of people who will be coming at that time.
The Kagyu Monlam Chenmo will be held December 24-31, 2009 in Bodhgaya. His Holiness Gyalwang Karmapa will be giving special pre-monlam teachings for Westerners on Nagarjuna's Letter to a Friend December 20-22. Click here for more information and the Monlam schedule.

The Nyingma Monlam Chenmo will be held January 16-25, 2010 in Bodhgaya.
