Stern Faces New Six-Figure Fine
Howard Stern is about to get fined again, and possibly again and again.
Infinity Radio will be socked in the next week by the FCC with a six-figure fine for raunchy programming by top shock-jock Howard Stern. But that's not all. Tthe government's indecency police are moving to punish more shows by the self-proclaimed "King of All Media."
The FCC is putting finishing touches on a proposed sanction that, for the first time, will fine a station for each indecent "utterance" during a single program. Previously, the FCC levied just one fine no matter how many times a program crossed the line.
The FCC declared that would change when it fined another Infinity station, WKRK-FM, for a "Deminski and Doyle Show" broadcast of a series of references to various sexual practices. Sources following the government's push to clean up the airwaves didn't know which Stern episode would be hit because complaints about several of his shows are under review at the commission.
The latest is a Feb. 24 broadcast chronicling the sexual escapades of Paris Hilton. That broadcast has caught the particuarl attention of Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kan.), who continues to push Viacom President Me Karmazin to brand Stern indecent.

Bo Carter (Armenter Chatmon)
Bo Carter was one of the early country blues artists whose music had a strong impact on the development of blues. Armenter Chatmon was born to Henderson Chatmon and Eliza Jackson on the Dupress Plantation near Bolton on 21 March 1893. In his very musical family, his parents and all twelve siblings played instruments or sang. Though known mostly for his guitar playing and singing, Bo Carter also played bass, banjo, violin, and clarinet. He first performed with several of his brothers in a string band later known as the Mississippi Sheiks. Although he often played live with the Mississippi Sheiks, Carter appeared on only a few of their recordings.
Carter is often most remembered for his double entendre, hokum-style blues from the 1930s, where titles such as "Banana in Your Fruit Basket," "Please Warm My Wiener," "My Pencil Won't Write No More," and "Don't Mash My Digger So Deep" left little lyrical ambiguity. Carter did, however, write a large number of nonbawdy songs. In 1928 Carter recorded the earliest version of the blues standard "Corrine, Corrina." Carter recorded with artists such as Walter Vincson, Charlie McCoy, and others from 1928 to 1930. In late 1930 he began a decadelong solo recording career, producing more than one hundred songs for the Bluebird and OKeh labels. Despite losing his eyesight in the 1930s, Carter continued to perform.
Although he is most often classified as a blues musician, Carter performed in a number of different styles. He often played country dance tunes and songs. Some of his songs fit a thirty-two-bar AABA structure, which is not common to blues.
Carter died in relative obscurity after suffering a brain hemorrhage in Memphis on 21 September 1964.

Random Numbers
Is it possible to generate random numbers in Excel?
By Neale Blackwood
Yes. Often it is useful, when setting up a spreadsheet, to use random numbers before you start using "live" numbers. There are two functions that will generate random numbers.
The first is the RAND function. It produces a random number (fraction) between zero and one. You then multiply this fraction by a number to arrive at your random numbers. Typically you also use the ROUND function to arrive at your required precision. Eg =ROUND(RAND()*1000,0) will supply a random whole number between 0 and 1000. You could then copy the formula to other cells to generate more random numbers.
The second is the RANDBETWEEN function which is standard in Excel 2007, but is part of the Analysis ToolPak Add-in in Excel 2003 and earlier versions (see note below on how to install the Analysis ToolPak). RANDBETWEEN is easier to use and allows you to specify a lower and upper limit to the random numbers generated. E.g. =RANDBETWEEN(1000,2000) will generate random whole numbers between 1000 and 2000.
Notes on random numbers
Each time the workbook calculates, the random numbers generated will change. To capture random numbers, first copy the range. Then use Paste Special > Values on top of the range to convert the formula to values. The numbers generated are not unique. If you were trying to generate 6 Lotto numbers between 1 and 45 you could get a number two or more times (the odds are 1 in 9 that you will get duplicated numbers). To generate unique random numbers you will need to use a macro.
Note: Analysis ToolPak installation. Click the Tools menu, then click Add-ins, then check Analysis ToolPak (which should be at the top of the list) then click OK. You may need the Office installation CD. Once the ToolPak is installed a Data Analysis Option is added to the Tools Menu or Data Ribbon.
Excel 2007
Even though RANDBETWEEN is a standard formula in Excel 2007 it is advisable to install the Analysis Toolpak. To do that in Excel 2007 click the round Office button and then click the Excel Options button. Click the Add-in option on the left hand side. Click the Go button at the bottom of the screen and tick the Analysis Toolpak click OK.

U.S. greenhouse gas emissions could grow more quickly in the next 50 years than in the previous half-century, and technological change may cause increased emissions rather than control them, according to a new study by an MIT economist and his colleague.
What's more, technology itself cannot be relied on as the most efficient tool for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions or solving the global energy crisis, said Professor Emeritus Richard Eckaus of the MIT Department of Economics and his co-author, Ian Sue Wing, of Boston University.
Their paper, "The Implications of the Historical Decline in U.S. Energy Intensity for Long-Run CO2 Emission Projections," was published in the November issue of Energy Policy. In it, the pair portray the changing interplay among technology, energy use and CO2 emissions based on a simulation of the U.S. economy.
"We found that, in spite of increasing energy prices, technological change has not been responsible for much reduction in energy use, and that it may have had the reverse effect," said Eckaus, who with Sue Wing is also affiliated with the Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Climate Change at MIT.
The researchers studied the periods 1958 to 1996 and 1980 to 1996 and projected from 2000 to 2050. Based on their findings from the past 50 years, and adjusting for a more realistic expectation for technological changes, they found that the rates of growth for energy use and emissions may accelerate from the historical rates of 2.2 percent and 1.6 percent, respectively.
"The rates of growth could be higher by a half percent or more, which becomes significant when compounded over 50 years," Eckaus says.
Eckaus acknowledged it has become counter-intuitive to question technology's potential to solve the energy problem. But U.S. steelmaking illustrates how fossil fuel consumption can increase along with technological change: Steelmakers' furnaces are now electrical, reducing coal use at the plant. But coal generates some of the electricity that powers the factory furnace, resulting in more CO2 emissions.
"The net savings in this case comes from the use of scrap steel instead of iron ore, not from new furnace technology," Eckaus said.
"There is no 'a priori' reason to think technology has the potential for reducing energy use while meeting the tests of economics. It's politically unappetizing in the U.S., but in Europe, gas costs six dollars a gallon. Make energy more expensive: People will use less of it," Eckaus said.
A former consultant to the World Bank, Eckaus has been an adviser on economic policy to Egypt, India, Mexico and Portugal, among other countries; he advocates policies to control both energy use and CO2 emissions.

"I feel so different mentally. The best analogy is the interaction of muscles and movement. It's like trying to carry out the same movement as before, but with less muscle power but with an even better result."
"I have experienced changes through neurofeedback that I couldn't believe that they are possible. Now, I feel a kind of "flow" at work. I'm in right here, have a quite focus on the task, but I feel also relaxed. It's fun and it runs by itself, without much effort."
"I always had great problems to talk in front of other people. I was afraid of questions and criticisms. Now I feel more safe and free in these situations.
I also feel more flexible to respond to requests and switch with my focus."
"I don't know how to describe it, but I just feel better."

Guest of the Week (4/21/17)
Prakash Janakiraman, Co-founder and Chief Architect, Nextdoor.com
Congratulations Prakash! You are theCUBE's Guest of the Week.
As the world becomes more connected, through technology and social media, neighborhoods are becoming disconnected. A recent report cited that neighborly bonds are declining, noting that about one-third of Americans say they have never interacted with their neighbors. The report also indicates that even though technology and social media are connecting people, Americans are more detached from the people they encounter on a daily basis.
This trend was the inspiration behind the startup Nextdoor.com Inc., a social network for neighborhoods and communities. The company began with a goal to connect neighbors and build trust.
"Your neighbors are a great resource that you should know in a local context. We feel that Nextdoor is bringing back a sense of community to the neighborhood by connecting people in this virtual medium, online social networking," said Prakash Janakiraman, co-founder and chief architect at Nextdoor.com.
While at the AWS Summit in San Francisco, Janakiraman sat down for an interview with Jeff Frick (@JeffFrick) and Lisa Martin (@Luccazara), co-hosts of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's mobile live streaming studio.

What's funny is I play similar to you - I guess too. The difference may be that I will start with a regimen and if winning will stay with it until it breaks down. When it does I will either quit winner OR guess FTS to recoup if it din't pan out from the get go . . .like that.Maybe you'll ban me again . . .fine . . . but the arrogance of that statement which I quoted above is just too much for me to ignore. Very "trumpian." Glen, there is absolutely no evidence that "everybody" is of the same opinion. Yet in one sentence you have relegated anyone who might disagree to insignificance.

Like most things to do with our benighted rail services, these pictures will be challenging for comms officers. A combination of taxation, burgeoning oil prices, congestion charges and delayed roadworks is pushing people off the roads and onto public transport broadly in the name of the environment.
And yet the perception is that the railways are already unable to cope with existing passenger loads, let alone a future increase. Few believe they can offer a warm and environmentally friendly alternative to driving their cars.
Against this backcloth, the engineers at work pictures will no doubt, and justifiably so, be published again and again by the media as emblems of failure.
What the railway network desperately needs is a unified voice to persuade passengers that Britain's rail transport system is heading in the right direction. Instead the travelling, or stranded, passengers receive contradictory platform announcements from what used to be simply known as British Rail.
Network Rail competes with individual train operating companies over blame while the Rail Regulator makes threatening noises about fines and loss of franchises. Each component of the rail network goes to the media with its own narrative. No-one takes responsibility and all consumers hear is a public argument rather than proper accountability for a basic failure to run trains on time.
The Virgin train I was travelling on before Christmas stopped for almost two hours outside Coventry. For an hour there was no word from an announcer who had been chirping away until then. When he did finally break radio silence it was to blame Network Rail. 'They always lie to us,' he moaned over the intercom - as if Virgin and not the passengers were the aggrieved party.
Half an hour later an angry rather than apologetic steward came round and asked passengers to write their names and addresses on paper serviettes so that the company would have a record of who might be available for compensation - which turned out to be a derisory offer of 25 per cent of the single fare.
The minimum the travelling public needs is a clear announcement on what is happening on the line, not a raucous squabble between PROs intent on passing the parcel of blame.

Why Sitemaps Are The Unsung Hero Of SEO
Sitemaps are easy to overlook in the quest to improve a website's SEO performance. They're used almost exclusively by search engines, and many web developers give little thought to how a sitemap will impact indexing and ranking potential.
Even worse, many web developers will completely neglect to submit a site's sitemap URL to Google and other search engines when a new site goes live or significant updates to content have been made.
What Is A Sitemap?
Put simply, a sitemap is like the index of a book, but for your website. It's a hyperlinked list of all the pages, posts, categories, images, and other media your website includes. The reason they're so valuable for SEO is that sitemaps are how search engines discover what pages/posts are on your website, and when new pages/posts have been added.
Sitemaps can be manually created, but most web development platforms (like WordPress) offer a variety of tools and plugins for automatically generating dynamic sitemaps that are automatically updated whenever new content is added to your site.
One of the most popular free SEO plugins, Yoast SEO, does an amazing job of creating XML sitemaps automatically after the plugin is activated. Here's what it looks like:
As you can see above, the sitemap lists the URL of each blog post on our website (page URLs are listed in their own sitemap) along with the number of images included in each post, and the date the post was published.
How Sitemaps Help SEO
Continuing with the book analogy, imagine you wanted to find a particular chapter in a book, but without an index you're forced to flip through the pages until you find the chapter you're looking for. It may not sound like a big deal for one book, but consider having to do that for a billion books. Every day.
Without a sitemap, this is basically what happens when search engine bots land on a website. Crawling a website manually and following the links on each page is time consuming for search crawlers. If there's nothing there to tell them what's on the site, they're much less likely to index everything. This means important content could be overlooked, and therefore may not show up in search results.
Submitting Your Sitemaps
While search engines will eventually stumble upon your site's sitemap, the faster way to get your content indexed is to manually submit it to each search engine. Both Google and Bing offer their own portals for submitting and reviewing sitemap data. Google has Search Console, while Bing offers Webmaster Tools.
You'll need to create a free account for each service in order to submit a sitemap, but these services offer a variety of helpful SEO tools and information that every web developer should be taking advantage of anyway.

Landscapes from Above | Part 1 of 3
{All images photographed with the Olympus OMD EM5 and EM1 and Olympus EVF4 , 45mm 1.8 and the Zuiko 12-40mm 2.8 Pro.}
I love travel. I especially love air travel. Since I'll be doing allot of traveling over the next year. I've started a new photographic project. Land-Escapes. Originally entitled Landscapes from 10,000 feet. My friend Dan Nelson suggested that they be called Land Escapes. I agreed with him and told him I'd steal his idea. All images are shot with my amazing Olympus OMD EM5's and EM1's. You can read my real world review for the Olympus OMD's here. Because I've started shooting video now, I've also purchased an EM1 which I'm loving. The is part one of a three part installment. If you want to do this, just make sure you get a window seat. I always do. Or the person at the window is going to hate you and elbow you in the face. You can see Part 2 color Land-Escapes here.

Objective: to identify Health Program improvement opportunities including reducing risk of unplanned visits.
Background: Health Program is a program in a Midwest community assisting persons with diabetes and Medicaid to help patients better self-manage their diabetes and connect with community resources. Communities are challenged with helping a growing number of persons with diabetes with multiple chronic conditions, medications, and increased use of unplanned visits. Information was needed to understand unmet needs of this population associated with unplanned visits to develop program improvements.
Methods: In a quality evaluation of a single center, a model of baseline prognostic factors associated with risk of unplanned events was developed. A total of 98 cases enrolled 2011-2017 with PH Medicaid insurance had adequate data available for modeling diabetic patients. Descriptive analysis was conducted comparing two PCP groups (SH, non-SH): T-tests were used to compare means, Chi-square tests for proportions. Survival analysis was conducted using multivariable Cox regression with stepwise selection to derive a predictive model of unplanned events. Schoenfeld residuals tests ensured the Cox proportionality assumption was met. A modified bootstrapping method was used to validate the model.
Results: A total of 41 patients had unplanned events and 57 were censored. PCP group was not a significant predictor of unplanned events; evidence of differences between PCP groups were only found in medications prescribed, and one chronic condition. Survival analysis provided evidence of significant association (P<.001) between freedom from unplanned visits and several predictors: diagnosed schizophrenia/bi-polar (HR 4.6, p=.0085), depression medication (HR 3.6, p=.0035), statins (HR 2.8, p=.0068), A1c<7.0 (HR .24, p=.0023), A1c>9.0 (HR .20, p=.0004), pain medication (HR .09, p=<.0001), COPD also included in the model for clinical value (HR .140, p=.0609). The highest risk patient groups were identified by distinct separation in survival curves for these covariate sets: (1) at highest risk: schizophrenia/bi-polar diagnosis with pain meds (none: depression meds, statins, COPD diagnosis), (2) schizophrenia diagnosis with no other meds or COPD, (3) depression and pain meds (no schizophrenia or COPD diagnosis or statins), (4) schizophrenia/bi-polar diagnosis with pain meds. Modified bootstrapping validated this model to have 68% sensitivity, and 86% specificity.
Conclusions: To improve outcomes for Health Program enrollees and reduce unplanned visits, initiatives that address unmet needs of the highest risk groups could be most successful for both the patient and the health care system. Suggestions include: (1) equipping the care team nurse to facilitate appointment scheduling with patients and mental health (MH) providers including med reconciliation by the mental health provider, and an option for in-home via telehealth MH sessions, (2) the model could be packaged into a tool for nurses to estimate risk for individuals perhaps an app, spreadsheet, or an auto-flag in EHR report for new referrals, (3) if preceptor IRB were to provide authorization for sharing some information in this evaluation with the scientific community and other community health systems, other communities could benefit toward progress in improving outcomes and reducing risk of unplanned visits for diabetic Medicaid populations.

Pittsburgh, PA – On a recent afternoon, a Port Authority bus jumped a curb and struck a Pittsburgh war memorial.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that the accident knocked a historic cannon off its anchor, causing it to make a new home in the front side window of the bus. While none of the bus passengers were hurt, some of the people in the vehicles it struck reported sustaining injuries.
One of the passengers on the bus, Albert Theobald, age 34, was sitting two seats directly behind where the cannon crashed through the window. He said that he avoided getting hurt by immediately crouching on the floor and going into survival mode.
While the accident is currently still under investigation, passengers said that the bus driver was pretty shaken up over the incident. Despite slamming on the brakes in an attempt to stop the bus from hitting anything, the driver still lost control. Passengers who witnessed the entire event shared that the steering appeared to lock up, and that they immediately knew she wouldn't make the turn in time to avoid a crash.
ABC News published that the bus first went through a fence that was around the Pittsburgh war memorial. It then proceeded to run right over yet another fence before finally coming to a stop against a wall and part of the railing in front of a local dance studio.
Passenger of the bus, Larry Cooper, age 71, said there were several loud crashing noises throughout the whole ordeal, and that there was glass all over the place once the accident was over.
As far as the cannon is concerned, locals say it will be missed. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette further reports that residents of the Pittsburgh neighborhood grew up visiting the war memorial. It was considered to be a centerpiece of the community, with one lifetime resident, Clint Burton, sharing that the neighborhood considered the day of the accident to be a pretty sad one.
Burton explained that the cannon was initially installed at the Pittsburgh war memorial in 1946 and was used in World War I. According to him, the cannon did not look to be too badly damaged in any of the photos he saw from the accident. He believes with a little bit of love and care it could be restored and eventually returned to the it's home at the memorial.
While everyone who was involved in the recent Pittsburgh bus accident came out relatively unscathed, that is not always the case. If you suffer from injuries and don't know where to begin dealing with the aftermath of your accident, know that you are not alone.

In light of the recent bribery scandal involving Honourable Farouk Lawan and Femi Otedola, the House of Representatives today served the former head of the fuel subsidy probe panel with an indefinite suspension, appointing John Enoh in his place. This took place at an emergency plenary session of the House this morning. Lawan had yesterday submitted himself to the police and spent the night in custodyover allegations that he accepted a $600,000 bribe to exonerate oil marketer, Mr Femi Otedola's company Oil and Synopsis Enterprises ltd from culpability in the fuel subsidy probe. The House also resolved to place the company back on the list of companies indicted in the probe report.
See full text of the speech by the House Speaker below:
My Dear Honourable Colleagues,
I now formally welcome you to this Special Session of Plenary which has been summoned pursuant to Order 5(18)(2) of the Standing Rules of the House of Representatives. It is the Second Special Session since the 7th House of Representatives was inaugurated on the 6th June 2011.
2.The object of the Session, which you have just accomplished, is to deliberate on grave allegation of bribery brought against a member of this Hallowed Chambers. Hon. Farouk Lawan by Mr. Femi Otedola, an oil marketer, in connection with the work of the Ad-Hoc Committee on the Monitoring of Fuel Subsidy Regime empanelled by the House for that purpose.
3.In accordance with our Legislative Agenda we must continue to be, not only sensitive to the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians but also proactive on all matters of urgent National importance, therefore, while I apologize for the inconveniences caused to members by this sudden recall from the recess, I trust, we all appreciate that this is a call to important civic duty for our dear country.
4.Hon. Colleagues, when we elected to pursue the entrenchment of probity, accountability and transparency in the conduct of government business as a cardinal Legislative Agenda we advised ourselves never to expect that it will be an easy task. Accordingly I have had cause to occasionally sound a note of warning and reminder that our constitutional task is inescapably hazardous requiring total commitment, diligence, transparency; determination and sacrifice.
5.The Constitution has given the parliament three broad duties, which include Law Making, Representation and Oversight. It is interesting to note that of these three, it is that last function, which gives legislature the powers to conduct oversight, that has tended to cause conflict between the legislature and the Executive and remains the most controversial. Yet. it would have been impossible to conduct the other two functions successfully if the Constitution had not given the parliament oversight powers: the single most potent weapon that makers of the Constitution put in place to check abuse by those who execute its law.
6.In full compliance with the Constitutional prescription in S 62(1) and (2) the House has always ensured that all Committees empanelled by it, be they Ad-Hoc or Standing, are given a clear mandate. I find it compelling to state for the umpteenth time that the constitutional power of investigation conferred on the Legislature is for the purpose of law reform and for the exposure of corruption, inefficiency or waste in the execution or administration of laws within its legislative competence and in the disbursement or administration of funds appropriated by it. In the exercise of this function there shall be no sacred cows.
7.I have emphasized the constitutionality of the oversight function of the legislature because there lingers among many public officials, the notion that in holding public or investigative hearings, the Legislature is over stepping its bounds and also neglecting its other functions. Nothing can be further from the truth. The records of our performance for the first legislative year, which just ended on 6th June 2012, show that the performance in the area of legislation was equally impressive.
8.I wish at this point to make this pledge that the House of Representatives shall continue to act responsibly by ensuring that all investigations are instituted only when absolutely necessary. Furthermore, we shall insist on probity and fairness on the part of our members conducting such investigations; and we shall not hesitate to sanction anyone who in the course of these investigations overreaches himself or uses the process to intimidate anyone or engages in corruption.
9.The recent investigations into two Sectors, namely Oil Subsidy Regime and Capital Market were conducted in public, evidence and testimonies were freely given and taken and in the case of oil subsidy regime, monumental fraud was disclosed in the report of the Ad-Hoc Committee which has since been passed by the House and referred to the Executive for implementation by relevant agencies.
10.While we consider it preposterous and hasty to dismiss the current bribery allegations, pending the outcome of ongoing investigations, including our in-house investigation just instituted, we reject in totality insinuations being orchestrated in some media to the effect that the allegations have eroded the integrity of the Resolutions of the House on the report and rendered same unworthy of implementation.
11.Let me reiterate that the resolutions of the Hose over the fuel subsidy regime remain valid despite this recent controversy. We must as a country learn to separate institutions from individuals and we must admit that, in the present case, the alleged conduct of an individual cannot negate the conclusions of the whole House. Let me also reaffirm here that we have not been compromised and we shall never compromise our stand against corruption. The credibility of that report therefore remains inviolable and we stand by it.
12.May I, therefore, urge the Executive to match words with action in the implementation of these resolutions. As just resolved by motion, relevant Committees of the House must diligently monitor the implementation of the resolution by agencies under their supervisory jurisdiction and report back to the House within reasonable time.
13.My Dear Colleagues, the scope of our resolve for transparency in the conduct of government business includes all the arms of government; all public functionaries and all persons doing business with government or operating under Acts of the legislature. As members of parliament we enjoy no immunity and we seek none, let us therefore remind ourselves constantly that we must live above board. We offer ourselves for public scrutiny at all times in our effort to build a better Nigeria. As humans where we err and our attention is called we shall be willing to make amends in the overall national interest.
14.I call upon all of us to remain firm, resolute and committed to the execution of our constitutional mandate whatever the hazards. We must NEVER repeat NEVER be cowed or intimidated by any form or colour of antics that may be fashioned with intent to dampen our spirits and or break our resolve. It remains for me to say that, when the army suffers causalities of a few officers and men at the battlefront, it beats no retreat except it does not intend to win the battle. I am confident that men and women of integrity and character are in the overwhelming majority in our fold and we do not lack the numbers to prosecute the battle. We shall be judged not only by our words but more so by our actions.
15.To the good people of Nigeria we appeal for patience and understanding and wish to once more assure you of our sincerity of purpose and the determination to deliver the Nigeria of our dreams. The road may be rough and herculean but victory is sure.
16.Now therefore is the time to double the pace of our performance, including the investigative hearings, given that from the monumental fraud uncovered through these investigations, we know that we are surely on course.
17.The current unfortunate bribery allegation, whatever the outcome of ongoing investigation can only serve as impetus for us to do more, in the quest for the entrenchment of probity in governance.
18.In addition to routine oversight, we shall investigate everything that needs to be investigated in the process of the fashioning of a better Nigeria. In this regard, we shall continue to seek synergy with the other arms of government so as not to work at cross-purposes.
19.May the Almighty God grant us the Courage and Grace to do what is right at all times and in all situations.
Thank you all.

|The Little Engine that Could (as retold by Watty Piper),
illustrated by George & Doris Hauman
You need to find another engine to carry all those wonderful words to the good little boys and girls on the other side of the month. Your original engine was powered by idealism and the freshness of beginnings. It has conked out. You've seen the abyss between the awesome novel in your head and the awful draft on the page. Great expectations won't move you another inch. You need a motivational engine to collect your story from the side of the track and carry it onward.
The Shiny New Engine of a six-figure advance is a ride that will not stop for you. Don't bother asking.
The Big Strong Engine of confidence, discipline, and experience is not on the NaNoWriMo track, let's face it. (It's meeting its word count every day of every month and it's eager to get through the first draft because it knows the big hills are yet to come.)
The Rusty Old Engine of self-derision is a ride you should pass by. It can not, it can not, it can not.
It's the Little Blue Engine you need. She's small and humble and she's never been anywhere before, but she's willing to give it a go for the sake of the good little boys and girls on the other side of the month. She goes slowly, turn by turn, puff puff, chug chug, because she knows your story will be sad if it stays on the side of the track forever. So she shrugs off depression and judgment and vanity and she just does her best to pull and tug the story-train up, up, up, over the hill of that tiresome first draft.
And she offers you today's motivational quote:
"I think I can -- I think I can -- I think I can -- I think I can -- I think I can -- I think I can -- I think I can -- I think I can -- I think I can."(Seriously, she says it nine times.)
Take a page from the Little Blue Engine's story. Don't be mean to yourself if you stopped midway through NaNoWriMo. Don't be blue if your ms isn't as good as you'd hoped. Writing a book is hard, but you can do hard things. Just get back on track.
I think you can.
- Catherine Austen
SCBWI Canada East
Catherine Austen is an award-winning writer for all ages. Her first children's novel, Walking Backward, began as a NaNoWriMo effort, but it stalled on the side of the track on Day 2, after just 1660 words. It took a year for that Little Blue Engine to pass by.

The 2018 DownEast Lobster Roll World Championships are history.
The magazine's second annual event, emceed this year by NEWS CENTER Maine's, Shannon Moss, was held Saturday at Thompson's Point.
For the second time, a restaurant from outside Maine, Beetlecat, in Atlanta, Georgia, took the top spot in the contest.
One entrant was from even farther afield.
Moses (Moise) Sfez, and his team of two other lobster roll makers, came all the way to Portland from Paris and their restaurant, Homer Lobster.
The creation they brought was a Connecticut-style lobster roll, with warm melted butter, lobster claw meat, a French brioche bun, lime zest and a secret spice blend.
"I wanted to do it my style with the brioche," said Sfez. "We are French and it adds a French touch."
Moses told us his lobster love affair started in the U.S. and that most French people think the idea of stuffing lobster into some bread is a sick culinary joke.
"I discovered lobster rolls nine years ago in New York," said Sfez "For a French guy, putting cooked lobster in a sandwich you'd have to be crazy. But when you try it you realize French people are crazy for thinking that."
Other entrants in the lobster roll competition included Maine institutions like Shannon's Unshelled in Boothbay Harbor, Bob's Clam Hut in Kittery and Congdon's Doughnuts in Wells.

This Wednesday is more than just that day in the middle of the week that often lacks significance, so eloquently described by many as "hump day." This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, and is a day of great significance to the church.
When we approach special services like the one we will have on Ash Wednesday, I enjoy looking for the piece of the music that (I hope) will match the spiritual aesthetic of that day.
Growing up in the Lutheran church, Ash Wednesday was always a somber and reflective event, and usually didn't include music.
Well this church loves their music, and I was happy to learn that an Offertory would be expected on this day. I took great joy in picking out the offertory for Wednesday, because music is such a wonderful way to reflect on God's word, and on our communal plight as humans and as Christians.
What I found in our vast expanse of a music library was a beautiful setting of a Gregorian chant called Ubi caritas. This chant is part of the Mass of the Last Supper, and is typically used in the Catholic church on Maundy Thursday, during the washing of the feet. Though we are not Catholic, it isn't Holy Week, and we won't be touching each other's feet,
I found this piece to be so appropriate because of the austerity of the melody and harmony, the simple use of 6 handbells, and the beauty and depth of the text.
I'd like to share the translation of the Latin text with you, and I hope you will reflect on it and bring these words with you in your heart to the Ash Wednesday service. They have been a point of contemplation for me while preparing for Lent.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
Love of Christ has gathered us into one.
Let us rejoice in Him and be glad.
Let us fear, and let us love the living God.
And from a sincere heart let us love one.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
At the same time, therefore, are gathered into one:
Lest we be divided in mind, let us beware.
Let evil impulses stop, let controversy cease.
And in the midst of us be Christ our God.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
At the same time we see that with the saints also,
Thy face in glory, O Christ our God:
The joy that is immense and good, Unto the
World without end. Amen.

Unfamiliar faces are the sign of a club taking off, however. After braving the masses outside, we made it inside to where the real cluster-fuck was happening. Maneuvering from the door to any part of The Knockout's dark recesses was impossible, to the point that it was easier to travel via the dancefloor, where people were expecting to get their elbows bumped. I took shelter in the DJ booth on stage and was immediately greeted with a 40 oz. of St. Ide's and a blunt while Skee-Lo's "I Wish" blared in my eardrums and the dancefloor went bananas before my eyes.
DJs Jamie Jams, Emdee, and Stab Master Arson (a.k.a. Chris Brennan) stayed true to their tastes throughout the night, sticking to the music they loved growing up instead of what was popular on the radio. The easiest route with any throw-back night is to play to the lowest common denominator--being Tupac, Biggie, Dre, and Snoop in this case. Instead, the DJs opted to play more lyrical favorites like De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and Gang Starr. The sweaty throng seemed to enjoy those conscious jams, but dancefloor really lit up, with flailing hands in the air, the moment "Jump Around" dropped, proving people also love the dirty rap classics of Onyx, ODB, and House of Pain.Debaser's setlist lacked a few choice hits in my book, but I also left before the bar closed. I'd hoped to hear Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise," "Rumpshaker" by Wreckx-N-Effect, and something (anything!) from GZA's Liquid Swords masterpiece. Even without my personal selections, the night remained a cheap (you can sip on a St. Ide's 40 for a very long time), entertaining (anyone remember the impromptu shirtless hype-man?), and interesting (someone's middle-aged mother was going nuts on the dancefloor, not to

Fibroblast-mediated acceleration of human epithelial tumor growth in vivo
Transformed fibroblasts coinoculated with epithelial cells accelerated the growth and shortened the latency period of human epithelial tumors in athymic mice. Addition of NbF-1 fibroblasts caused epithelial tumors to grow from five marginally tumorigenic or "nontumorigenic" (nontumor-forming) human tumor cell lines or strains: PC-3 (prostate), WH (bladder), MDA-436 (breast), and cells derived from the ascites fluids of patients with metastatic renal pelvic or prostate cancers. Evidence for the human and epithelial nature of these experimental tumors was provided by histologic, immunohistochemical, Southern and dot-blot hybridization, and cytogenetic analyses. Transformed fibroblasts induced predominantly carcinosarcomas, whereas nontumorigenic fibroblasts (NIH 3T3) and lethally irradiated transformed fibroblasts induced exclusively carcinomas. The fibroblast-epithelial interaction appears to occur bidirectionally and does not result from cell fusion. Because coculture experiments in vitro did not demonstrate an increased cell proliferation, it appears that undefined host factors can influence tumor growth. This tumor model may be useful in drug-screening programs and in mechanistic studies of factors regulating human tumor growth and progression.

While I'm on the topic of flour – If ever you are looking to have a little more precise control over the protein percentages in your flour, or if you are looking for great organic pizza making flour, check out my friend's company: Giusto's Vita-Grain Flour. They supply LOTS of commercial bakers and restaurants up here in Northern California, but the public can order their AWESOME flours off the website. They also carry organic spices, sweeteners, oils, and more. Give them a try and I'm sure you'll never go back 🙂

Giusto's Organic Ultimate Performance High Gluten Unbleached Bread Flour.
This is the flour that produces the most flavoral crust.In addition the crust is perfect it has a little crunch on the outside with an interior that has an open crumb structure and is velvety soft.My favorite flour hands down.
If you like your socks knocked off, try Central Milling's High Mountain Flour. You'll crave the crust, your mouth will water … your Pizza will never be the same.
Or, if you really want to get crazy, try their Artisan Bakers Craft Plus or their Beehive Flour. Seriously good flour. Seriously.
Hi Farmer Brown I live in Tucson Arizona where can I get the flour's you mentioned in your posting.
Ryan thanks for info.I will let you know what I think after using flour.

Averting the Climate Disaster Will Require Science and Courage, Not Politics
On September 26, 2012 I posted a blog called Thune For Thought, in which I wrote:
"At 2 a.m. on September 22, 2012, the United States Senate voted by unanimous consent that U.S. airlines could choose to ignore the European Union's requirement that all airplanes landing in the EU reduce their carbon pollution that is causing global warming. Either climate change is happening or it isn't. But, once you look at the data, once you subscribe to the opinion that it is happening, you have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable steps to responsibly address the problem. I understand that this is election season, and some of the Senate races are tight, and airlines can be powerful lobbyists, but, it is 2012 and an anti-climate emissions control bill is passing via unanimous consent in the United States Senate? Either climate change is really happening or it isn't."
Our climate champions across the nation abandoned their science-based advocacy about the reality of climate change and the extreme price tag that comes with our collective failure to act. They abandoned that advocacy immediately prior to the election, and disappointingly, during the election. They abandoned that advocacy even in the aftermath of the one-two punch of Super Storm Sandy and Nor'easter Athena.
Not a single elected official in Rhode Island, from the Governor to the delegation, has uttered the words climate change in any of these contexts.
After the November 6, 2012 election, nothing much has changed in Rhode Island or for the country in terms of political representation. Our delegation in Rhode Island remained the same: Reed, Whitehouse, Langevin, and Cicciline; our Governor remained the same: Chafee; our President: the same; and, the balance of power in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives remained the same: blue majority in the Senate, red majority in the House.
The take home message is simple: Averting the climate disaster can't be about party politics. We all lose if that is where the battle lines are drawn on the single most important issue facing our country. Averting the climate disaster requires science and the courage to act on it.
Dear President Obama, start acting on climate change.
Dear Senator Reed, start acting on climate change.
Dear Senator Whitehouse, start acting on climate change.
Dear Representative Langevin, start acting on climate change.
Dear Representative Cicciline, start acting on climate change.
Dear Governor Chafee, start acting on climate change.
Dear Rhode Island House and Senate Leaders, start acting on climate change.
We need science and courage, not politics.

9/8/18 – With the changing of the guard comes the changing of the leaves. Fall is officially here for the Sawbill crew. This past week we've had a few more arrivals trickle in.
Rubes first year at Sawbill was… a long time ago. He lives and works around Hollywood as a screen writer and producer and tries to get up to Sawbill when he can. You can often find him manning the store or cooking up some good grub for the crew.
Nick just graduated from the University of Northern Iowa and is joining us for the first time in the fall. He's a veteran crew member whose first summer was 2016. His hobbies include woodburning, reading and taking long walks off short docks. His favorite job at Sawbill is working the store desk. Lukes first season at Sawbill was 2010. He's works mainly as a commercial fisherman in Alaska and Washington. Between seasons he likes to head up to his favorite place on earth. Sawbill.
Come on up and join us for one of the most beautiful times to be in the north. We are on fall hours now from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. also, the Minnesota DNR will be doing some test netting on Alton Lake 9/10-9/14 and will be using an approved canoe and motor. With any questions please contact the Minnesota DNR at (218) 353-8857

The changes necessary for Euro 4 were even more important, because in many markets the bike couldn't have been sold without them. Cylinder-head and crankcase covers gain sound-deadening material, and the timing chain, gears and guides have been redesigned to reduce noise. Then there's that new twin-pipe exhaust, which is not something Ducati wanted to add for aesthetic or performance reasons (959s sold in the US, Australia and some other markets retain the compact 899 pipe). Despite that the Panigale remains a stunningly good-looking bike, whether in original black-silencer form or when fitted with the titanium Akrapovic slip-on that is a street-legal accessory.
Chassis changes are less extensive, the 959 keeping its predecessor's monocoque aluminium frame layout and blend of 43-mm Showa Big Piston forks and Sachs shock, but joining the 1299 with a four-mm lower swing-arm pivot for improved traction. Along with the slightly wider, more protective fairing from the bigger Panigale it also gets the machined aluminium foot-pegs that were introduced with the limited-edition Superleggera.
Its electronics package is similar to that of the 899, which means eight-position traction control, and three riding modes with ABS settings automatically adjusted to suit. For our first Valencia session Ducati requested that we used Sport, the middle setting (which would, perhaps, be more accurately named Street). This was possibly a mistake because, after the 959 had fired up with a considerably muted but still recognisably V-twin note through those shotgun pipes, it attacked the track feeling controllable and pretty quick but slightly flat.
It accelerated out of the bends with a bit less punch than I'd expected, perhaps partly because it was being held back by the traction control (whose default setting is high in the Sport mode), and also steered a bit less sweetly than I'd hoped, tending to miss the apexes and run slightly wide. Doubtless that rider-friendly Sport setting would have been ideal if we'd headed out on to the A-3 autopista towards Madrid, where the Ducati's stability would also have been welcome, but on the track it just seemed slightly toothless and imprecise.
Thankfully, significant improvements were only a few minor adjustments away. For the remaining sessions we used the sharper Race mode. And mechanic Gabriele added a turn of shock preload to suit my larger-than-average height and weight, as well as fitting a fresh rear Pirelli Supercorsa SC2 (Diablo Rosso Corsas come as standard) to replace the one that had shown signs of wear before my first session.

India has changed, gone are the days when it was unsafe to travel alone.Today most Indian women happily travel solo or with friends and come back with beautiful memories. There are many travel groups and tours especially for women. While many places still might be considered unsafe for women at night, the daytime has minimal risk and a great opportunity to soak up the rich heritage and culture our country offers.
Go beyond the urban metros and travel to the picturesque postcard perfect beauty of India. In case you are planning a vacation alone or with friend, Team AAW suggests you some women friendly places to travel to in India
- Goa Sun, sand, beaches and booze! Goa is every holiday-goers dream location. Relatively the safest (if you do not meddle with drugs) including the chilled out night scene, every woman must try and visit Goa (with her girlies) once. How to reach: Goa is well connected by flights, rails and buses.
- Agra Home to the world famous Taj Mahal, Agra is situated on the banks of river Yamuna. It is a major tourist destination because of its many splendid Mughal-era buildings, like the Agra Fort and Fatehpūr Sikrī. How to reach: Agra is well connects via road, trains and flight. From Delhi you can hire a cab or drive down to Agra via the famous Taj Expressway.
- Manali Bollywood like snow clad mountains, fresh air and a rustic experience. Manali is truly a delight and a visit in winters ensures snow clad peaks, while in summers you can visit the famous Rohtang Pass to see the snow. Manali is a quaint town and night outs won't be a great idea here. How to reach: You can drive down to Manali, if you want to take stops in between. An overnight Volvo or a train is a good idea from Delhi. The nearest airport is Bhuntar, which is 50 km away from Manali, taxi services from Bhuntar to Manali costs about Rs 1000.
- Mcleodganj Also known as "Little Lhasa" or "Dhasa" (a short form of Dharamshala used mainly by Tibetan) is a home of Dalai Lama. The place is popular among foreign tourists and as they come here for long vacations. The place is flooded with restaurants offering international cuisines. How to reach: You can take an overnight bus from Delhi or can also come via road. The nearest airport is Gaggal Airport, 15 km from Dharamshala.
- Rajasthan The rich in culture and traditions, this state offers a beautiful experience. From the bustling Jaipur, to city of lakes Udaipur to beautiful hills of Mount Abu or the foreigner's favourite Pushkar. How to reach: Rajasthan is well connected by flights and trains but it is easy to hire a cab from Delhi or Jaipur, if you want to visit the entire state.
- Kerala Also called God's own country this picturesque state offers a huge variety. From stunning backwaters to hill stations like Munnar, Kerela offers peace to, tranquility and a rich cultural experience. How to reach: Kerala is well connected by flights and trains
- Pondicherry This small town tucked away on the Eastern seaboard of India has diverse attractions like coastline of 32 kms, palm-fringed beaches, backwaters, fishing villages and beach resorts. Pondicherry is a great place to look around, take a walk by the sea, and attend a cultural program which is not Indian and still based loosely on the pre-Independence era. How to reach: Pondicherry is connected with a meter gauge link with Chennai via Villupuram by the Pondicherry Express which is 36 km. from the city. Nearest airport is situated at Chennai, located 135-km from the city. Pondicherry has a good network of roads, which connects it with most of South India.
- Andaman and Nicobar Island Once known as the graveyards of martyrs, has now transformed into one of India's best tourist spots.The Islands represent a Mini India with rich diversity of language, religion and culture and have some of the world's best beaches with plenty of forest cover. How to reach: All flights from Kolkata, Bhubaneswar & Chennai are direct flights and takes around 2 hours while flights from Delhi fly via Chennai or Kolkata and take around 5 hours.

Why You Should Take ZMA
ZMA is the short form abbreviation for Zinc-monomethionine-aspartate, its a mixture of Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B6. It is one of the more powerful testosterone boosting formulas available and is usually found in many of the best natural Testosterone boosters
For best results the correct balance should be something like this:
- Zinc 10mg
- Magnesium Aspartate 200mg
- Vitamin B6 5mg
ZMA has been proven to naturally increase muscle strength and bulk in athletes and body builders.
Is it Just For Body Builders??
This is what most people think! Although it is essential for anybody wishing to build big muscle, the benefits don't stop there – it doesn't matter if you are an athlete, body builder or even if you do not go to the gym, ZMA is a powerful muscle repairing agent that helps boost your tired muscles while you sleep even after a busy day at work….
Does ZMA Really Boost Testosterone Levels
There is a massive amount of clinical evidence proving the link between daily doses of ZMA and increased levels of free testosterone. Studies (published in the ACSM Journal) following athletes taking supplements containing ZMA have proved that it can increase testosterone levels by 30%.
Our Thoughts
ZMA can be found in many of the better natural testosterone boosting supplements, from our research, we have compiled a list of what we feel to be the top three testosterone boosting supplements currently available.
Our top rated product in particular has the full recommended dose of ZMA coupled with many other proven testosterone boosting ingredients.

One of the greatest things about digital publishing is the connectivity that it brings to the industry. Books by authors abroad that went largely undiscovered by outside audiences are now available, thanks to the easy ability to find and enjoy new titles.
Simon Kernick's thriller Relentless, published in 2007 in the UK, is now available in ebook form in the US through Simon & Schuster's Atria imprint. Kernick, who also penned a number of crime titles including The Business of Dying, A Good Day to Die, and The Last Ten Seconds, brings a fresh perspective on an old favorite theme, namely of the wrongly accused innocent man on the run from both the police and the bad guys.
When family man Thomas Meron receives an unexpected phone call from an old friend, it's not for the purposes of pleasantly reconnecting. Meron listens in horror as the friend is caught by pursuers and brutally killed, but not before shouting the information the enemy has been torturing him to get: Meron's address. The nightmare escalates when Meron is arrested for murder, presumably of his wife, only to find out that the victim is his wife's coworker and his wife's fingerprints are also on the murder weapon.
Unlike many other novels in which an innocent working man is dragged into a shady plot, Meron quickly discovers he has an ally in an undercover policeman who knows Meron is not involved. Unfortunately, that may not be enough to save him from anyone who is after him.
Relentless is now available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.
Mercy Pilkington is a Senior Editor for Good e-Reader. She is also the CEO and founder of a hybrid publishing and consulting company.

A usually vacant field next to Project Row Houses was filled with works of art April 20 as Rice Visual and Dramatic Arts students showed their work in a one-day exhibition that drew a lively crowd. Students in assistant professor Lisa Lapinski's sculpture class collaborated with Project Row Houses artists-in-residence throughout the semester in the form of lectures, charrettes and workshops. The well-attended weekend exhibition was the culmination of this class, with even the bases of the sculptures themselves made by Lapinski's students. (Photo by Katharine Shilcutt)

BOLBOACĂ, Lorentz JÄNTSCHI [abstract] => Aim: The paper presents the abilities in estimation and prediction of the inhibition on carbonic anhydrase I of some substituted 1,3,4-thiadiazole- and 1,3,4-thiadiazoline-disulfonamides through the integration of complex structures information by using of an original molecular descriptors family on the structure-activity relationships approach.Material and Method: The proposed approach uses the complex information obtained from substituted 1,3,4-thiadiazole- and 1,3,4-thiadiazoline-disulfonamides structure in order to generate and calculate the molecular descriptors family. The structure-activity relationship models were built based on the generated descriptors. The obtained multivariate models (the models with two, respectively four descriptors) were validated by computing the cross-validation leave-one-out score (r2cv-loo), and analyzed through assessment of the squared correlation coefficients (r2), and the models stability (r2 - r2cv-loo). The prediction ability of the multivariate MDF-SAR model with four descriptors was analyzed in training versus test sets.Results: The best performing MDF-SAR model proved to be the model with four descriptors (r2 = 0.9175). The MDF-SAR model with four descriptors shown that the inhibition on carbonic anhydrase I of substituted 1,3,4-thiadiazole- and 1,3,4-thiadiazoline-disulfonamides is likely to be of geometry and topology nature, being in relation with the partial charge and relative atomic mass of compounds. The estimation ability of this model is sustained by the multiple correlation coefficient (r = 0.9579, 95%CI = [0.9212, 0.9776]) and by the significance of the model (F = 97, p < 0.001). The prediction ability is sustained by the cross validation leave-one-out score (r2cv-loo = 0.8911), the model stability (r2 - r2cv-loo = 0.0264), and by the results on training versus test analysis. The MDF-SAR model with four descriptors proved to render higher value of the correlation coefficient comparing with previously reported model (p < 0.01).Conclusion: Modelling the inhibition activity on carbonic anhydrase I of substituted 1,3,4-thiadiazole- and 1,3,4-thiadiazoline-disulfonamides by integration of complex structure information provide stable MDF-SAR models, revealing that there is a relationship between the compounds structure and their inhibition activity on carbonic anhydrase I.

Ceramic Floors Like Wood - More and more folks are going for wood floorings for anybody with allergies. If a physician recommends a wood flooring for your back and joints do not be surprised. Wood is proven to give a little and will be more easy on your legs and feet. Classic and Reclaimed wood floorings are an ever popular style in flooring.
Reclaimed and Antique wood may be milled to look like new, or occasionally consumer look for wood with bolt holes nail holes, along with other fastener marks which make these features part of the appeal. The old lumber could have rustic character marks from many years of use and exposure to the elements. Many of the floors come out of buildings about to be demolished or in the process of being refurbished. Antique wood flooring may be reclaimed from lumber salvaged from dismantled buildings and old barns.
A rustic wood flooring could have more of the natural character such as color variations that are distinctive knots, possible insect marks, surface checking and varying grain patterns. Reclaimed or Antique flooring usually comes from the old growth forests. Now they could still be found in floorings in houses that were old and historic structures in many areas of the country. This wood displays character unmatched by any man-made means.
A lot of the classic recycled timber comes from old growth forest and was utilized to assemble old buildings. This classic lumber has unparalleled character and architectural quality, and of course beauty. No two floors are just equally and normally may be found in random widths.
