Charge allthethings! Wouldn't you like that? Well, Samsung has a solution for you in its Multi-Charging Wall Charger. Announced back in August, the tri-split cable and wall charger combo is finally available for sale on Samsung's Online Store. Essentially, this is a cable with a USB port at one end and three MicroUSB ports on the other, allowing you to use one USB output to split the charging power between 3 devices simultaneously.
The cable comes with a 2A wall charger and the way it works is by smartly dividing the output depending on how many products you are trying to charge. If one device is connected, it will channel the entire 2A to it. If it detects two devices, it will provide a maximum of 1A for each, and if you use all 3 ports, it will split the power to 667mA on every end. While this may not be ideal as your primary way of charging your phone, tablet, and watch for example (it would take an eternity to charge a tablet on 667mA!), it's still a great solution for your gear bag. Instead of carrying multiple cables for on-the-go charging, you just throw this in and you're good.
The Multi-Charging Wall Charger is going for $39.99, but you can still benefit from Samsung's Online Store 50% off promotion. Use the code r1H01X01 to lower the price to $19.99, a more acceptable deal for what is essentially a wall charger with a split cable.

Not just guitars and basses of course, bouzoukis, lap steels, dulcimers, mandolins.. this 1909 Gibson mandolin came in recently for a complete restoration (see pics). Vintage instrument repair is a key part of the business, and you will probably be pleasantly surprised by what can be done. Very few guitars are unrepairable!
Whether it is rebuilding a 'destroyed' vintage guitar (please see our case studies for some extreme examples!), carving a new solid top for an archtop, repairing the dreaded broken headstock, or just replacing a small section of binding or a scratchy potentiometer, Andy can make your cherished instrument sing once more. Andy specialises in vintage guitar repair and restoration, having worked on hundreds of the oldest instruments. All renovation work is performed with a sensitivity to the original parts, materials and finishes. Prices will naturally vary by the amount of work required, but you can see aproximate prices here: guitar repair prices.
A good guitar becomes a great guitar when it is set up properly. You might be surprised how many musicians berate a high quality instrument purely because it was poorly set up, or incorrectly strung. Carefully adjusting the neck, bridge and strings to give the best in playing performance takes a little time, and a little knowledge, but is hugely important, especially to musicians who perform in public, or record. The aim is to maintain easy playability, strings that remain in tune across the fretboard, and to eliminate fretbuzz or deadspots.
Generally guitars only need an occasional set-up, usually when changing to a different gauge of strings. Increasingly this task is not being carried out by manufacturers, and even brand new guitars might benefit from a little attention. Obviously, guitars that see a lot of use may require more regular care to remain in peak playing condition.
A standard setup involves neck, bridge and nut adjustment, fret dressing and restringing, and will resolve intonation problems, buzzing, and any unevenness in response from different parts of the fretboard. Guitar set up prices start from £40. See a full list of prices here: guitar servicing prices.
Andy has made too many instruments over the years to keep track of, but please take a look at just a few examples in the custom gallery, for some favourite creations. Andy has built solid body guitars, thinlines, bass guitars, baritone guitars, acoustics, bouzoukis, mandolins, electric upright basses and ukeleles. Instruments are built to your requirements, so if theres a stringed instrument you have been dreaming of, however unusual, please contact Andy for a chat about what is possible.
Andy Viccars is based in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, with easy access from London, Birmingham, Northampton, Leicester, Oxford and Cambridge. 9 Nene Drive, MK3 7BY. Visits are by appointment only. To discuss guitar repairs please email as a first contact - providing clear images will give an accurate idea of the work required.

To get a view of the city from the water I took the water taxi over to West Seattle. Such a fun little trip. They even accept the Orca card for payment. Then I walked around Alki Beach. Who doesn't want to stick their toes in the sand? After that I headed back to downtown and explored Pike Place Market. To get an excellent view of both the market and the Puget Sound, you can head up to the beautiful rooftop deck at The Inn at the Market.

Dr. Susan Kelenyi has been a licensed Chiropractor since 2003.
Dr. Susan Kelenyi has been freeing women and their families from pain since 2003 in her clinic in Glen Ellyn, IL.
Dr. Kelenyi was born and raised in Chicago, IL. While considering a career in the health care field she discovered the self-healing power of chiropractic care. As a young adult, Dr. Kelenyi developed asthma. Her condition continued to progress for 14 years until she was on continual inhalers and multiple drugs. Afraid to leave her home without her inhaler, she began chiropractic treatments, diet modification, nutrition and lifestyle changes under the advisement of her personal chiropractor. Much to her surprise and delight, 4 months into her program, she no longer required any further medication. She has remained medication free and pro-chiropractic ever since.
Dr. Kelenyi has also been the owner and director of Optimal Health & Wellness Center, in Glen Ellyn, since 2004. In addition to her expertise in chiropractic care, she has also taken over 740 hours of post graduate courses in functional diagnostic medicine and advanced neuropathy treatments, including Autoimmune Physiology, Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis, Brain and Neurotransmitters, Functional Endocrinology, Diabetes Case management, Metabolic Syndrome Treatment, Autoimmune Thyroid and Advanced Thyroid Principles and Case Studies. These additional studies have allowed her to expand her practice to include some of the most difficult to treat chronic health conditions like thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune disease, fibromyalgia, peripheral neuropathy, diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
"What I've discovered, after years of being a chiropractor is if you want to serve your patients and community at the highest level possible, you cannot learn enough, you cannot know enough, and the best doctors are continually striving to be their absolute best. It is never-ending. I truly love helping people regain their health." — Dr. Susan Kelenyi ("Dr. Susan" to her patients), Glen Ellyn, Illinois, 2014

Gonna throw this out there. I've been involved in this for a bit. Years on, then years gap, and now I'm back in. Just my honest opinion, and leave it as it may be. My flame suit is ready, but it is my opinion.
I got to the event at 7. Went up and Warren and Sherri were kicking ass as usual. There was no one to sign me up for work assignment. So, I went about my business gutting the car and teching and walking 3 times. The course was still not finalized while I walked my first 2 times, and maybe not even on my third walk. But, meh. This is a practice, not a really real event.
I came back and a coworker was talking about his work assignment and I was all "wow, they were doing assignments? It was just the payment side when I was up there." I ran up to the reg tent and sure enough there was now work assignments going on. I went to sign up for course like always, and was told there was a couple tech spots open. I haven't done tech in about 10 years, so I wanted to get back on that instead of my usual cone shagging, especially since my ankle has been messed up for the better part of a year with PT and doc visits. But, we need workers, lets go. So I sign up for tech.
I play with the fun course. I was honestly having fun. Got out of the car the first couple runs giggling and clapping my hands. Met a few new cool folks and kept going the practice go, where you wonder if you should just stop because your tires are already done. But......play......PLAY!!!!! GOG GO GOGOGOGOGo. So I burn all the runs.
Finish up and get ready to do the tech side and as I go to check in, the gentleman at the worker signup says "You can't work that, that's for club people." "OK, well, that was what I was given." "Who gave it to you?" "Doesn't matter, I need to work, I'm here to work and go home and see my kiddo. So whatever you need me to do I'll do." "Go work course." "Done."
I go to work the course and the 2 radios in our area are dead. One in one section, one in the section next to it. So I walk around before there are actual radio checks and the track is hot trying to see who has radios and if someone can bring us a functional radio in case of an "event". The one section I find with a radio radios in that there is no radio on 2 sections, and.........there is literally zero response from the trailer. So, both of our silent sections just figure we might as well try to handle it since the field was so light anyway.
The group to the North of ours is on their cellphones recording runs for the 90 minutes. The group to the South is hiding in the shade and rarely grabbing cones. I honestly gave up shagging cones between 2 stations because I was tired of watching people not grab cones because they were busy recording runs. And, how could I call in the discrepancy anyway because we had no radios and no communication from the trailer.
I ran 2 stations grabbing cones until my ankle gave out and I switched out with another station dude because he saw me running for 70 minutes of the 90 while I watched 2 dudes swap off between Instagram and grabbing 1 cone.
Look, I get it. It's a practice, nothing counts, we want new people to become involved and not discouraged and not run off. BUT.........there is no reason that radios should not work or be validated PRIOR to sending out the first car of a run group. There is no reason that people should be told they can't work a group they were signed up for because group privilege (I don't disagree with group privilege, but don't pull rank 3 hours after the fact, club benefit is club benefit, but you look like a jerk yanking it when turnover is happening). Lastly, and most importantly. The dedication and strictness is way different on the practice days than the champ days for every event that I have been to since I stopped in 2011. We NEED to have the new guys showing track respect. We NEED to have working radios. We NEED to have the same rules on every event, champ or practice. Otherwise you have new guys working a champ event after being allowed to slack on their one and only event which happens to be a practice and not doing what they need to do because "It's only a practice". I totally understand what is going on, and the leniency, and blah blah blah. But......When every section I see is sitting down, or taking videos, or waving their rally towel to their friends then not picking up down cones, and I can't ask for backup or ask for an instructor for someone who has no idea what they are doing because I have no radio and no one with a radio in our vicinity is getting a verbal "hi, I hear you, have a great day" from the trailer.......well.......that makes me as someone who cares not want to care and honestly not want to come down anymore.
I'm not busting this particular groups junk. But, I've seen a leniency given to practice days since I've started back up this year that I have never seen before. And for a club, event, safety, return person stand point, it really does need to be addressed. Consistency. Safety. Fun. Let's do this.
Again, flame suit on. This is just my observation from the 2018 events and the worst of which was today. Not club biased. But, just an overall allowance of mediocrity.
Hope you guys have fun and play hard tomorrow, and bring water and sunscreen.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — After weeks of negotiations and intrigue, Doc Rivers has officially left the Boston Celtics for the Los Angeles Clippers.
Rivers will be introduced as the Clippers' new coach and senior vice president of basketball operations at a news conference Wednesday at their Playa Vista training complex, capping a lengthy process by completing a rare trade involving a championship-winning coach.
The Clippers and Celtics finalized the move Tuesday when the NBA approved the deal. Boston will get an unprotected first-round pick in 2015 from the Clippers for Rivers, who went 416-305 and won the 2008 NBA title during nine seasons with the Celtics.
Boston's front office mostly had warm words for Rivers after he took off for his exciting new team on the West Coast, apparently not eager to stick around for the aging Celtics' rebuilding process.
"We don't have a championship without Doc Rivers coaching," said…

- The Abusive Life of Gang Dogs Revealed in New Tell-All Documentary on August 16th -
(Silver Spring, MD, July 23, 2010) - There is a vicious cycle to gang life marked by violence, intimidation and illegal activities. While gang members can make their own decisions to join that life, the innocent dogs they force to be pawns in their street wars cannot and become unwitting gang symbols, savage guard dogs, vicious fighters, and deadly weapons. On Monday, August 16, at 10 PM (ET/PT), Animal Planet delves into this secret and cruel sub-culture with the premiere of ANIMAL PLANET INVESTIGATES: GANG DOGS. This one-hour special documents how gangs continually corrupt their canine comrades to fit into their abusive culture and to promote their way of life.
Continuing the ANIMAL PLANET INVESTIGATES anthology series, this special investigation chronicles the gang dog culture of the nation's most feared gangs in Fresno, Calif; Columbus, Ohio; and Chicago. These dogs are forced to endure horrendous treatment and brutal training including being weighed down while chained to treadmills, pumped full of steroids, starved to make fighting weight, amateur ear cropping and sub-par treatment for their injuries. In spite of all this, these loyal dogs still love and desperately seek approval from their owners because it's the only attention they've ever known.
"The ANIMAL PLANET INVESTIGATES series allows Animal Planet the opportunity to raise awareness about a wide range of hard hitting and sometimes disturbing issues at the intersection of the human and animal worlds," says Rick Holzman, senior vice president of programming for Animal Planet Media "Hopefully, the GANG DOGS episode in conjunction with two of our other key series, Pit Boss and Pit Bulls and Parolees, will work to raise the public consciousness about this crucial animal abuse issue, encourage people to speak out, and dispel some of the perceptions of these misunderstood so-called "Bully Breeds. While some of these stories are heart wrenching to watch, it's vital for them to be told, after all, these creatures can't speak for themselves."
ANIMAL PLANET INVESTIGATES: GANG DOGS documents a growing problem in neighborhoods across the country -- not only the harsh environment these dogs are forced to assimilate into, but how they are utilized within gang culture. Gangs use dogs for a variety of depraved purposes from dog fighting to settling arguments between members to a status accessory. They also serve as mascots, inspire tattoos, clothing and gang names, protect drug stashes and are even used to attack the police.
The presence of pit bulls on a property often tips-off police to gang hot spots. So other lesser known breeds, such as Rottweilers and Presa Canarios, have increased in popularity in recent years. These breeds are intensely loyal and because of their strength have a higher tolerance for the pain they are subjected to. Any dogs that are rescued from gang life are extremely lucky if they make it out alive. Unfortunately, once rescued, 99 percent of gang dogs seized from fighting rings are unable to be socialized and end up being euthanized.
While uncovering hoards of abused animals from gang infested neighborhoods and preventing the inhumane behavior from occurring is a never ending process, all hope is not lost. This special also highlights the great work of humane law officers who are helping to combat this animal abuse as well as community programs designed to show gang members that there is another way to treat their animals.
GANG DOGS is the third special in the quarterly series, ANIMAL PLANET INVESTIGATES taking a comprehensive, insider look at timely issues that impact both humans and animals.

People forget how old NYC is. The City usually brings to mind modern day entertainments like shopping, theater, restaurants and nightlife but we forget that there was once an old York before there was a New York.
Luckily, there are nooks and crannies of history all over the city for visitors to squeeze in on their way to enjoy other pursuits. One such site is the Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace historical site. Conveniently located at 28 East 20th Street, it is short jaunt from Union Square and Fifth Avenue shopping.
From outside, the site is a typical New York brownstone (well, typical meaning that if you bought a whole house in that location now it would cost well over 5 million dollars). The 26th president, Theodore Roosevelt was born in the house in 1858, when the landscape of the city was predominantly flat and filled with buildings that were less than 6 stories high.
The only catch to the house's historical significance is that it was actually demolished after the Roosevelt family owned it because the neighborhood had become very commercial. Theodore or "Teedie," as he was called, died in 1919. In 1920, a group of friends and family had the house reconstructed as a memorial and it was later donated to the city's parks department. The house was re-furnished primarily with pieces owned by the family or other pieces of that time period, giving the home its authenticity. Apparently, they were even able to duplicate a lot of the curtains and wallpaper exactly because the firms that made them still had the templates of the Roosevelt's orders on file.
Admission to the house is free and the site offers free 30 minute guided tours (you cannot tour the house without a guide), which is perfect for squeezing in a little learning before shopping on nearby 5th Avenue or strolling through the Union Street market. It is good for visitors of all ages. The day I stopped by the site, the tour guide was fabulous and made a point of getting all the children on the tour involved and had them each play a role of a Roosevelt child who lived in the house. Unfortunately, the gallery on the first floor was closed for renovation.

he's doing some crazy livestreaming & off-site interaction. chat room? donde esta?
lots of asking questions & hand-raising. he's gonna go practical.
web person "all his life" — I kinda know that feeling.
slide with silly amounts of bullet points. different methods of corporate use of the web. oh, and he's going to read through all the points, describing each one. ::sigh::
we are still getting into the basics, I think. I'm thinking that the project mgmt stuff needs to inform this, things we might want to do. advertising is the one I'm looking at.
what is social media? def w/out describing specific tools. yep, conversations. and communities. nothing here is entirely new, just moved to the web. (user groups, etc.) and easy to use.
here's the thing. cluetrain, et al is old hat to me, eye rolling and all that. but it hasn't even touched the rest of the org.
blogs as trusted sources
oh, the meta. "somebody is liveblogging this now." hi.
TRUST. I've seen a version of that graph. People trust people they know.
there's a fancy-pants graphic. ladder of participation. a finer breakdown of the 90-10-1 ratio.
online & offline blurring. everything happens online, eventually. embraces vs. freakout.
bloggers as the new media. yes, well…with caveats a plenty, as far as I'm concerned. treating the bloggers all sweet at some event.
web marketing has spread all over the internet. our interesting experience with financial forums & blogs re: accelerator checking. decision not made on the corporate site, but just going at the end to get specs, buy, or whatever. look at what other people say. (I do that all the time)
"Edgeworks" by Brian Oberkirch
traditional messaging through marketing, controlled, being overtaken by conversations at the edges. not THAT much different from the marketing effect of customer service.
(pause to look at crazy MSFT/Yahoo story)
asynchronous going closer to real time. okay, now he's going all buzzwordy.
letting go (of the message) to gain more. the challenge of control issues. the "not while I'm here" person. what is the way for me to put this in a way that makes sense in our environment. remembering that I'm out here on this weird webbish edge.
connection point: I want us to go out and talk to members in order to understand what of of this would actually make sense to our membership…or potential members.
@hitachi, created "data storage" industry wiki, linking to competitors even. to become the first source that customers go to…and building trust, which rebounds to the actual business.
scoble & microsoft stuff. letting people say that the company sucks, things are broken, etc.
what are people already doing: forums seem to be a biggish thing. internal meetings of what to do! yeah. internal blogs. (which leads me back around to the intranet.)
not getting into understanding the tools, because there's lots of other sources.
listen & monitor. maybe this is where I need to be right now.
internal experimentation. typically first thing is a corporate blog. "gently" align with the corp.
organic spaces already emerging. (as we discovered)
Q: re ROI. (this came up on open source cu blog recently) flippant: what's the ROI of a billboard? of a conversation at a coffee shop? two people just talking? when you can measure that, then you can measure social media roi. more seriously: actually it can be measured. opportunity costs. what would it cost to get the same media attention in advertising vs. attention to blogging. costs of blogging relatively low: mostly time. yep.
evangelist, educator & cheerleading. "yay, good for you!" but make sure somebody's following. (I should go talk to MZ.)
community mgr. everybody is, but somebody gets paid for it.
organic blogger. hi. but then again, I don't talk about work. how do you connect the organic & the corporate. the balance of credibility.
the Vice President. (aka my boss.)
corporate controller. the message owner. not changeable? go after the agnostics, not the atheists. do we have atheists? (I think we're all godless pagans.)
what about legal? compliance is a big freaking deal.
use of social media outside of marketing. part of the entire product process.
but impacts to marketing. media, press, analysists (do we have those?). now add social media. less hyperbole, more pull strategies, meaning USEFUL. that's what I'm trying to do with our email newsletter! (hmmmm, that makes me think about something. come back to that later.) customers as marketers, because they like you.
ceo of sun says "intranets are gonna die [are an anachronism]." talking outside of the firewall to build better products. how does that interact with compliance?! (also, I should probably also send my summary to the strategic planning people.)
nobody here's heard of Dell's ideastorm, voting on wanted features. now they are putting out laptops with linux, because of that kind of feedback.
forums as the main customer to customer tool.
data outside the firewall.
IT depts way behind the curve on this stuff, typically. "let's ask IT if we can do that" IT says no and then Marketing runs off to Typepad, Blogger, et al. which has its own problems.
100 year old japanese company, and now they're open, which means (theoretically) that anybody can do it. lots of stuff deployed. tied strategically to other company activities. understand the customer lifecycle. (and what about personas?)
what he learned, in many many bullet points. just absorbing.
"your employees are going to blog, no matter what." (i know of at least one person on myspace.)
ethics policies cover online, why should it be any different from anywhere else? but of course. (I tried to use this over & over with pierce web guidelines: how do we handle the analogous situation IRL?)
Q: air traffic controller? internal blog observing everything happening in social media in our industry. oh, nice. (I have a creditunion tag on delicious.)
blah blah blah buzzwordyness. nothing super-new.
Q: DNA is not to share? how does it change the org? answer not helping. talking about orgs getting "run over". have to change to still be relevant. BS. ah, yes, banks using blogs. comment from the audience about regulated industries, and when customers start to say things that the company can't say. wells fargo building other sorts of blogs, related to other community issues NOT in regulated spaces. (I have hate for wells fargo from long ago, but it does sound like they're the only one out there in the banks. the greater diversity of credit unions, IMHO, means that there are actually a handful out there. Verity is the one I keep an eye on.)
Q: social media in edu? yeah yeah yeah. nothing new here.
I'm too hungry & tired to really track, esp since I'm not getting anything new.
what a dick. so much blather. I've never fucking heard of ustream. oh, hell's bells, describing the journalist as a "middleman".
he said at the beginning he was going to be practical, and he really wasn't, at least not as far as I'm concerned. all either stuff I knew, or WTF? stuff. more than anything else, an opportunity to rattle this around in my own head. which I guess is good for something.

Ethiopia gets over a billion birr grant
for Excellence in Education
Tsehaye Debalkew, May 14, 2010 (Washington DC) - Ethiopia has been granted Birr 1,326,000,000 (One Billion and Three Hundred Twenty Six Million Birr) for its performance in education and its drive to meet the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) set for the sector.
This huge financial grant is allotted by the Fast Track Initiative (FIT), a consortium of multi- lateral donor group constituting of the World Bank, the United Kingdom, Finland, Italy and the Netherlands.
According to Mr. Demeke Mekonnen, Minister of Education, who held an extensive consultation with the Governing Board of FIT in Washington DC, early this week, it was determined that Ethiopia has anchored itself in a robust and an all-engulfing crescendo of achievements both in the expansion of Education and in attaining a concomitant level of performance in quality, capacity and skill as a standard bearer.
Mr. Demeke Mokonnen also reminisced that Ethiopia had also previously garnered a granted for Birr 947,233,000 (Nine Hundred Forty Seven and Two Hundred Thirty Three Million Birr) in 2007 from the same multi- lateral Pool Fund for registering an upscale achievement in Education.
In a similar note Mr. Demeke Mokonen apprised that his sojourn to the US has taken him to various universities, research centers and hubs of educational excellence, which had opened varied vistas for him to discuss in detail with members of the academia for the enhancement and sustenance of a dynamic and vigorous mutual partnership in the field of education.
Mr. Demeke Mekonnen has also met with Ethiopians in the Diaspora in Connecticut, Upstate New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. wherein he held extensive conversation delving on current issues in Ethiopia, the gigantic strides made in the fair and expansive out-reach of education, the General Education Quality Improvement Program, and the impressive results upheld in the sector.
Mr. Demeke, impressed upon the Ethiopian Diaspora the conducive climate obtaining in the country for engagement and constructive effort on the part of the Diaspora professionals of all stripes during the multi- faceted briefing sessions. Furthermore, the Minister informed the members of the Ethiopian community of the commitment of the Ethiopian people, the government and all contesting parties to make the May 23/2010 national and regional elections, fair, free, democratic, peaceful and credible

"The brief was to create a visual reaction inspired by a chosen sub-culture, in this case, Parkour. Parkour is an urban 'free-running' discipline, originated from France. Its aim is for its traceur to overcome obstacles within the path, by adapting physical movement to traverse the urban environment, using physical abilities like jumping and climbing. The intention of this animation is to capture the movement and physical beauty of the traceur while traversing through the environment. This viral is aimed to create an awareness for parkour as an artform, rather than a sport. Credits to Noel Lee for filming and editing, and lecturer Kevin Barrios for the inspiration"

"Skepticism is not new to education. Emerging technologies are often viewed with fear and resistance. Just look at some of the history surrounding educational change.
'Students today can't prepare bark to calculate their problems. They depend upon their slates, which are more expensive. What will they do when the slate is dropped and it breaks? They will be unable to write.'–Teachers Conference, 1703
'Students today depend upon paper too much. They don't know how to write on a slate without getting chalk dust all over themselves. They can't clean a slate properly. What will they do when they run out of paper?'–Teachers Association, 1815
'Students today depend upon store–bought ink. They don't know how to make their own. When they run out of ink, they will be unable to write words or cipher until the next trip to the settlement. This is a sad commentary on modern times.'–Rural American Teacher, 1929
'Ballpoint pens will be the ruin of education in our country. Students use these devices and then throw them away! The American virtues of thrift and frugality are being discarded. Business and banks will never allow such expensive luxuries.'–Federated Teacher, 1959"

A single dose of Ritalin may help improve brain function in people addicted to cocaine, according to a small study published in JAMA Psychiatry.
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York studied 18 people addicted to cocaine. Half received a single 20-milligram pill of Ritalin (methylphenidate), and half received a placebo. They all underwent MRI brain scanning to measure the strength of connectivity in certain brain circuits that play a role in addiction.
The study also included people not addicted to cocaine, for comparison.
Ritalin decreased the connectivity between areas of the brain thought to be involved in habit formation, including compulsive drug-seeking and craving. The drug also strengthened connectivity between several regions of the brain involved in regulation of emotions and exerting control over behaviors. Previous studies suggest these connections are disrupted in cocaine addiction.
"These findings may also be generalizable to other types of addiction," lead researcher Dr. Rita Goldstein told CBSNews.com. "The benefits of methylphenidate were present after only one dose, indicating that this drug has significant potential as a treatment add-on for addiction to cocaine and possibly other stimulants," she noted in a news release. "This is a preliminary study, but the findings are exciting and warrant further exploration, particularly in conjunction with cognitive behavioral therapy or cognitive remediation."
Drugs, legal and illegal, are consumed across cultures, and are used for a wide variety of reasons, including, in the case of prescription drugs, to promote health. However, illegal drugs play a very different role in our society and the effect they have those who use them. Click here to learn more about Drugs and Drug Dependence.

According to ZDNet, the revamped Start Menu that was first teased during Build 2014 in early April, now won't be included with any new Windows updates or releases until sometime in 2015.
The new Start Menu, which incorporates a visual style akin to Windows 8.1's tiled Metro UI, was reportedly set to be released with Windows 8.1 Update 2. However, for reasons unknown, the Microsoft group in charge of operating systems has decided to hold it back for Microsoft's Threshold project. Threshold may end up being Windows 9, or may be something else entirely. Meanwhile, the next update to Windows is expected to be released sometime in August, or this fall.
Despite the delay, the report indicates that Microsoft is working to make Windows more accessible with mouse and keyboard-based desktop users of the OS. For example, Microsoft is expected to make Metro apps available to run in Windowed mode in the classic desktop UI. However, as is the case with the Start Menu's return, the ability to run Metro apps in Windowed mode while in the desktop likely won't be released until Threshold/Windows 9 in 2015. Running them in the desktop at all was a feature that was first available in Windows 8.1 Update 1, which debuted on April 8.
Considering that the two biggest known changes coming to Windows 8.1 will now be held back until next year, we can't help but wonder how Microsoft will go about making Windows more desktop-friendly, since it's keeping its big guns holstered for this year.

random thoughts
Have you ever been asked "If you could go back in time and change one thing what would it be?" Whenever I'm asked that question I always find myself responding "No", but then I think.Maybe I should have done my homework… Maybe I should have gone to class… Maybe I shouldn't have drank that extra shot… Maybe I shouldn't have driven my car that night… Maybe I should have stopped my friends from doing drugs… Maybe I should have spent more time with my grandpa…Maybe I should have prayed to God…Maybe I should have been a better son…Maybe I shouldn't have fought with my brother… Maybe I should have kept in touch with that friend…Have you ever had that friend that you used to be so tight with, and then you stop talking, and when you see them it's like you have never even met? Awkward, right
Or have you ever woken up in the morning and thought "Damn, today is going to be a terrible day." This has happened to me far too many times. I get myself worked up about such petty and trivial nonsense that I get myself angry and depressed. I let time pass me by as I sit in my room in isolation. Missing out on experiences I could have had. People I could have met. Things I could have done. Sometimes I just stop on the world… But the world doesn't stop on me, it doesn't stop for anybody.It's ironic though, most people I meet don't see this in me. They see me as a friendly, laidback, and funny person, which is very true, but they don't see the regret in me. We all have regrets and problems, but we all cope differently with these challenges that confront us. Some of us live in the past, some the present, and some always worried about what the future has in store for us. I find myself living day by day, but struggling to let go of some of my past.

Acting with the assurance that comes naturally to high-level government officials, the men ordered the baggage crew to load the suitcase onto the plane.
However, a nearby airline official alerted members of an American-trained anti-drug unit stationed at the airport, who halted the loading, confiscated the cocaine and arrested one man. The other escaped.
On the surface, it was a victory--albeit a small one--in the effort to prevent Guatemala from slipping into the morass of drug-related corruption and violence.
"It's very scary," said one foreign drug expert, who requested anonymity. "It wouldn't take much to buy some of these people (Guatemalan officials). It is something that could happen very easily."
Moreover, a Western diplomat added, "All the elements of Colombia are here: violence, instability, an alienated population, poverty."
In fact, the aftermath of the seizure indicates that Central America's largest country already is suffering from the narcotics rot that is engulfing Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Panama.
American and Guatemalan officials say well over 4,500 acres in the country's mountains and jungles are planted in amapola, as the poppies used to produce heroin are called here. That figure is twice last year's estimate and continues to grow so fast that opium production outstrips the production of marijuana, Guatemala's traditional drug crop. The American street value of Guatemalan-produced heroin ranges from $2 billion to $5 billion, experts estimate.
"As it stands, 60% of the American demand for heroin could be supplied from here," one diplomat observed.
Beyond the home-grown production of opium, Guatemala is now a major transshipment point for South American-produced cocaine destined for the United States.
Each week, up to 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds) of cocaine is shipped through Guatemala, nearly all to the United States, according to foreign diplomats and drug experts.
And while 4,000 kilos of the drug have been seized here this year by Guatemalan police and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, "obviously most get through," conceded one expert, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Foreign drug experts say that until now, nearly all the production and shipment of Guatemalan cocaine have been controlled by the drug cartels operating out of the Colombian cities of Medellin and Cali. "The Colombians know where to invest money," one drug specialist said.
However, he says, Guatemalans increasingly are getting into the business.
The incident at La Aurora is cited as an example of that growth and as a measure of how high the resulting corruption has reached into the government.
The man arrested was Jose Fernando Minero Navas, a close associate of Col. Hugo Francisco Moran Carranza, at the time director of the Administrative Control Department, President Vinicio Cerezo's anti-corruption office.
Although Moran told local journalists that the airport arrest would be investigated, he defended Minero Navas as "one of the most efficient employees of this office, and I give him total confidence."
Later, the investigation was stopped, and Moran resigned. But he remains a close associate of Cerezo, according to some sources.
More alarming than the aborted investigation have been the actions taken against the Guatemalan police who carried out the arrest and seizure. One was shot and killed on the street, while the others received death threats and have gone into hiding.
In spite of the statistics, the seizures and the reputed involvement of ranking military and government officials in drug trafficking, some diplomats and others say corruption is still limited to individuals and has not yet infested national institutions.
Guatemalan military intelligence officers are described as working fully and closely with the local U.S. DEA office, a small, underfinanced operation of four Americans who have to cover Belize and El Salvador as well as Guatemala.
"We have done a lot of things here that couldn't have been done without (Guatemalan) military intelligence," said one source, adding, "Military police have been very cooperative and really do have an interest in getting to these people (drug traffickers)."
Nonetheless, the signs indicate that the narcotics problem has reached serious proportions.
The same source who praised military intelligence and police cooperation said that "the army is very vulnerable to corruption, particularly zone commanders."
Associate of Candidate
One commander alleged by Guatemalan sources to be involved is Gen. Roberto Matta, a close associate of Alfonso Cabrera Hidalgo, the odds-on favorite to be elected president in next year's election and a protege of Gen. Hector Alejandro Gramajo, the army chief of staff.
Although diplomats and drug enforcement experts consider Gramajo a major asset in the anti-drug effort, he is expected to support Matta as his successor as head of the military.
Accusations of trafficking have even reached into the highest levels of government and politics. Cabrera is the subject of constant rumors and charges of involvement in the cocaine business.
He denies the charges and says a DEA investigation has cleared him, but drug agency sources in Washington said Cabrera has not been investigated directly. When asked if the potential president was considered clean of any drug involvement, one source replied, "We haven't cleared him."
Even diplomats who say there is no evidence that Cabrera is personally immersed in narcotic trafficking said that his image is poor. "He hangs around with known rotten apples," one diplomat said.
And while no one has produced evidence of any connection with cocaine trafficking, two Guatemalan police sources and other experts indicated that Cabrera used his authority to cover up the drug activity of one of his brothers.
One brother, Vinicio Cabrera, was convicted in 1984 of possession of 10 kilos of cocaine when arrested in January of that year at the Miami airport. Cabrera acknowledged Vinicio's guilt but says there is no truth to charges that another brother, Carlos, was involved in a June, 1988, plot to transship 54 kilos of cocaine from Panama to the United States.
Local and foreign sources say Carlos Cabrera had given a man named Eric A. Ralda baggage claim checks to recover two suitcases containing the cocaine. Ralda was arrested when he tried to pick up the bags, which had been monitored on their flight from Panama.
The sources said Ralda confessed and implicated Carlos Cabrera, who also allegedly was seen by a witness standing on a balcony overlooking the baggage claim area when the suitcases arrived.
According to the sources, Ralda was released two days after his arrest, the investigation was canceled and Cerezo's aides deny the incident ever took place.
Sources said the apparent reason for the acceptance by otherwise uninvolved government and military officials was to shore up the increasingly unstable Cerezo administration.
"The airport incident took place six weeks after the coup attempt," said one congressional deputy, referring to a May 9 attempt by some army units to overthrow the Cerezo regime. "There apparently was concern that an investigation into the brother of the foreign minister would destroy what little support existed for the government, so the investigation was called off and, for all intents and purposes, we pretend it didn't happen."

I think it is a common problem if you use XSLT to create web-sites from huge XML databases on the fly _and_ do _not_ want to use extension functions (because you want to remain portable). A lot of design elements are stored in included stylesheets. But more importantly, large aspects of the database (particularly index and category listings) are in XML and included as entities, hidden in included stylesheets. >...

Hmmm... maybe I should approach this as an entity loading problem: there wouldn't be any problems there with sharing, would there be? Apart from the fact that the entities URL might deliver different data when invoked, so that you would need some MD5 or similar checks in there. And that could be done with a callback function, or not? Elizabeth Mattijsen

One day the pope was in from Italy and after a rough week of meeting arch bishops and other religious figures, he decided to go see the Galveston shore in Texas.
When he arrives in his popemobile he sees a man strugling for his life aginst a shark.
Upon a closer look he notices that it is John Kerry.
Horrified he starts to call for help when a speedboat pulls up along side Mr Kerry, with GW and Dick Cheney on board. Dick Checny leans over and pulls him out. Then George W, and Dick Cheney begin to beat the shark to death with baseball bats.
The two men notice the Pope and land the boat on the beach.
The pope said to the men,
"I know that there has been alot of attention and alot of strif in this election, but I can see that you two men respect each other and would help each other in their house of need. You have my blessings"
Then the pope packs off and drives out of site.
Bush asks, "Who was that?"
"That was the pope Mr President, he is all knowing and in touch with god. Leader of the Chatholic Church" Said Dick.
Bush says, "Well thats all neat and fine, but he dosent know anything about shark fishing. Hows the bait holding up?"

The National Trust has launched a new network of off-road cycle trails at its Lanhydrock Estate which are expected to attract thousands of new visitors to the area. The development will include 10km of blue and green cross country trails, a cycle hire business, a café, a cycle skills area and a kids track for young children learning to cycle. There will also be a play area.
The project has not been without controversy however. The 'Save Lanhydrock' campaign deemed the project a potential blight on the environment saying it would destroy trees and would create a negative impact with the increase of visitor numbers and associated traffic.
Thankfully the campaign was unsuccessful and the trails have now been opened. The initiative is part of the 1 South West Cycling Project.
Speaking at the launch of the trails, Mark Harold, the National Trust's regional director, said: "Our outdoor spaces are among our greatest natural treasures, and we want to play our part in reconnecting people with them.
"Well-managed off-road cycling facilities encourage people to enjoy the unique delights of spending time outdoors in remarkable landscapes."
The development of the scheme has relied heavily on local support which clearly shows the commitment of the local community to get people outdoors and on their bikes. Lanhydrock Hotel and Golf Club, Callestick Farm Cornish Dairy Ice Cream and Clive Mitchell Cycles are sponsoring maintenance of the cycle trails for the next five years.

Sonophilia is the beautifully named 'Festival of Sound' in Lincoln happening this weekend (23-26th October) and I feel very privileged to be involved in it.
There is, almost literally, something there for everyone. Rock gigs, folk gigs, busking, instrument-making demonstrations, sonic art, installations, conferences, public-access headphone pieces and loads more – if you are even slightly near to Lincoln I strongly recommend you pay it a visit this weekend, Lincoln is a lovely city even without all this going on! And this from a lass from the East Riding of Yorkshire where we call people from Lincolnshire 'yeller bellies' 😉
I have three things happening at this festival. On the Friday, as part of the Sonic Arts Forum conference, I will be giving a presentation about the technologies and software used in the CSMA 'Crowd Sources' performance that we did for Network Music Festival. In the Angel Coffee house my piece 'Market Hill' will be available to listen to on headphones all weekend and, of course, I will be playing the whole of 'Ada Live' in the 52 speaker immersive Soundspiral on the Saturday outside the Lincoln Performing Arts Centre around 2pm on Saturday (this was moved from the Castle grounds)
Even if you don't like what I do (and plenty don't!) there is loads going on there so have a look at the website to see what you can go to. A lot of the events are free or by donation so it won't even break the bank. Even if sound isn't your thing (if so why are you reading a music blog?) there is also a sausage festival in the castle on Saturday too!
I'm properly exciting by all this and looking forward to a great weekend of sounds, I hope some people reading this can come too. Say hello if you do 🙂
