AMD Phenom II X2 550 and Athlon II X2 250 Processors Review
Lately, the processor market has been the biggest we have ever seen. The competing manufacturers have new CPUs releasing all of the time, aimed at everyone from the hardcore speed enthusiast to the budget minded user. Since not everyone has the cash to drop on the high-end processors, let alone the hardware to support them, there's still a huge market for strong dual core processors. To compete in this market, AMD has used the AMD Athlon X2 line for some time; however, they now bring new secret weapons to the table, aimed and taking charge. There are two new dual core processors that are moving in for the kill, both designed with new technology for today's PC enthusiast.
First, based off of the ever popular Phenom II series, we now get a chance to see the new dual core, dubbed the AMD Phenom II X2. The AMD Phenom II X2 series is a fast dual core solution for those who want speed and dependability without having to break the bank to get it. The specific model we are going to be looking at is the Phenom II X2 550 BE. This model is clocked at 3.1GHz (200x15.5), and can handle a maximum core voltage of 1.425v for pure speed. The second processor is the AMD Athlon II X2 250, which is a 45nm processor with a few secrets of its own. On the Athlon II, there is no L3 cache as in the Phenom II dual core; however, the L2 cache on the Athlon II X2 250 is doubled for a total of 1MB L2 per core, a grand total L2 cache of 2MB. This CPU is clocked at 3.0GHz (200x15), and can handle a maximum 1.425v as well, with a TDP ceiling of 65 watts.
The kicker about these processors, you ask? What makes them so different than other AMD dual cores? Well, how many of the current AMD dual core processors can run DDR3? Yes, I said DDR3 - finally, for the AMD dual core sector. The Phenom II X2 550 and the Athlon II X2 250 both support AM2+ and AM3 boards for DDR2 and DDR3 memory. No longer are you stuck using the slower DDR2 standard for your computers that have dual core processors. Do I have you salivating yet? I know I am, so how about we take a closer look at the CPUs and see how well they run with this new memory spec.
Closer Look:
Since these are review samples the Phenom II X2 550 and Athlon II X2 250 arrived to us in an anti-static sample box. The retail versions will have the regular retail packaging, as well as the heatsink, for your new processor. The only way to distinguish the processors is by the stamps on the CPU heat spreader, with the 550 being the Phenom II, and the 250 being the Athlon II.
The Phenom II X2 550 BE and Athlon II X2 250 look at first like any other current AMD CPUs; the differences are all on the inside. The Phenom II X2 processor is a dual core, based on the Phenom II series processors; it is manufactured using a 45 nanometer process and clocked at 3.1GHz. This CPU is an AM3 socket processor and supports both memory standards up to 1066MHz for DDR2, and 1333MHz for DDR3. There are 758 million transistors, with a HyperTransport 3.0 bus and a maximum bandwidth of 3.6GB/s, full duplex. For the Phenom II X2 550, the cache is broken down into 1MB L2 (512kb per core) and 6MB shared L3, for a total of 7MB cache. This specific processor is a Black Edition processor, which also allows for more refined options to tweak your overclocks - allowing you to get the most speed out of your shiny new CPU.
The Athlon II X2 250 is clocked at 3.0GHz and is also manufactured using a 45nm process; however, some of its insides are different. As I mentioned above, AMD chose to not include an L3 cache in the design of the Athlon II, but instead to double the amount of L2 cache - giving each core a full 1MB. The Athlon II also runs a HyperTransport 3.0 bus, with a maximum bandwidth of 4.0GB/s, full duplex. Like the Phenom II X2, the Athlon II X2 supports both DDR2 and DDR3 memory with a maximum total system bandwidth of 33.1GB/s when using DDR3 memory.
Now we are ready to strap these CPUs in and see how they perform.

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ - Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey today announces that the County Prosecutors' Association of New Jersey is offering four scholarships to law school students seeking careers as prosecuting attorneys and to police officers hoping to attend college to advance their careers in law enforcement.
The scholarships, each amounting to a one-year grant of $3,500, will be paid directly to the recipients, who will be selected by a committee that administers the County Prosecutors Association of New Jersey Scholarship Foundation.
The deadline for submitting application is September 15, 2017. Applicants will be notified of the Committee's decision in October 2017.
Each of the scholarships is dedicated to the memory of attorneys who died in office, where they had served with dignity as prosecutors in various counties in New Jersey and exemplified the high standards of law enforcement professionals.
To be eligible for the Oscar W. Rittenhouse Memorial Scholarship, an applicant must be accepted for admission to a law school and must have an interest in pursuing a career as a prosecutor.
Prosecutor Rittenhouse, 48, served as part-time prosecutor in Hunterdon County from 1968 to 1973, and was appointed the county's first full-time prosecutor in 1975. He was killed in 1979 while returning from a national prosecutor's convention, where he spoke on preventing juvenile delinquency.
Applicants seeking the Andrew K. Ruotolo Jr. Memorial Scholarship must be accepted for admission to a law school or a graduate school. Applicants must exhibit an interest, and commitment to, enhancing the rights and well-being of children through child advocacy programs.
Prosecutor Ruotolo, 42, who served as Union County prosecutor from 1991 to 1995, had dedicated his career to helping troubled youth and was the creator of the Union County Child Advocacy Center, which serves as a safe haven for abused children.
Each student applying for the Harris Y. Cotton Memorial Scholarship must be accepted for admission to a law school. The applicant should have an interest in pursuing a career as a prosecutor with an emphasis in domestic violence or hate crime prosecutions.
Prosecutor Cotton, 68, known as the "Dean of Prosecutors", served with distinction in Gloucester County from 1975 to 1980 and from 1991 to 1997, when he died 40 minutes before his term expired. During his tenure, he was a strong advocate for the protection of individual rights and he created specialized units to combat domestic violence and hate crimes.
To be eligible for the John H. Stamler Memorial Scholarship, an applicant must be a sworn law enforcement officer seeking educational advancement on a college or graduate level to improve his or her effectiveness as a law enforcement officer.
Prosecutor Stamler, 52, was the first prosecutor in the state to be appointed to three consecutive terms as prosecutor, serving in Union County from 1977 to 1990. He was dedicated to the welfare of law enforcement officers and was an innovator of programs to help victims of domestic violence and child abuse. He championed a witness/victim assistance program, advocated crime prevention and battled the scourge of illegal drugs.
Scholarship applicants must be residents of New Jersey and must demonstrate a financial need. Scholarship recipients from previous years are ineligible.
Anyone interested in receiving an application for any of the scholarships may download a copy at www.mercercountyprosecutor.com. Applications can also be obtained by contacting Terri Eide at (609) 989-6309 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Memphis City Schools and Shelby County Schools become a single consolidated school system in August with the start of the 2013-2014 school year.
The countywide school board will get around to hiring a search firm to pick a merger superintendent at its meeting next week. And the goal is to pick a superintendent by mid-February.
But the school board is already acting on recommendations from the two separate school systems that are reaching into the first year of the merger. And those recommendations are coming ahead of board action on critical recommendations specifically dealing with the merger from the consolidation planning commission.
The football field at Kirby High School will get an artificial turf makeover with a board vote next week, causing one school board member to wonder aloud about whether county schools can be incorporated into the list for turf fields before any more contracts are approved and dollar figures are agreed to.
At its meeting next week the school board will also vote on turning Humes Middle School into an optional school for the musical arts that would open for classes on the first day of the merger.
For many parents of children in both school systems, the board's final decision on whether optional schools will have a place in the consolidated school system is an important issue. Shelby County Schools don't have such programs and Memphis City Schools have several forms and definitions of optional schools.
A final decision won't be made on any merger recommendations until the school board votes perhaps in February on a budget for the upcoming fiscal year that begins July 1.
A vote by the school board next week on closing Humes as a conventional middle school would be the first step toward its reopening on the first day of the first school year of the schools merger as what Cash described Tuesday, Dec. 11, as an "optional school."
He wants "fast track" action on the still emerging plan for Humes so parents applying for optional school choices starting in January will be able to consider Humes.
Catherine Battle, Memphis City Schools regional superintendent for the area that includes Humes, said the school system is working with unidentified partners in the "greater Memphis arts community" on "partnerships."
Those partnerships that are still being negotiated could involve the arts organizations locating in the school and even renting studio space and bartering that for instructional time with students.
"We want to see how far we can push this down the road," Cash said.
The Humes conversion and four outright school closings of Coro Lake, White's Chapel, Orleans and Norris elementary schools are being considered by the school board.
A steering committee of administrators from both school systems recommended that slate as their response to a recommendation from the planning commission to close 21 Memphis City Schools.
Meanwhile, Gordon Elementary School is going off the list of proposed school closings the board is scheduled to vote on in March.
Cash acknowledged that neither Gestalt Community Schools nor leaders of the Achievement School District are interested in taking over the entire school.
Gestalt operates a charter school among sixth graders for the state-led school district at Gordon alongside the conventional elementary school. Cash had proposed a conversion of the entire school to an Achievement School District charter.
Countywide school board member Martavius Jones has said the overall reality of what is happening with transitions of various kinds at several schools puts the school board closer to the goal of 21 schools than it might appear.
In his calculation, transitions of 10 Memphis City Schools to the state-run Achievement School District next school year and three school closings the board approved in the last two schools years count toward the total.
Combine that with the four closings and the Humes conversion being considered and there are 18 schools affected.
The 10 schools to become part of the Achievement School District in the 2013-2014 school year are to be announced Friday morning in Frayser.
In other action Tuesday, the school board got its first look at a proposed $23,000 plus expenses contract for PROACT Search, based in Wilmette, Ill., to conduct the search for a merger superintendent.
The board will vote next week on the contract with PROACT, which was founded in 1997 as an executive search firm that specializes in school district leadership from superintendents to principals.

Bitterness accompanies latest NHL cancellations
Black Friday had a different meaning to the National Hockey League as more games were wiped from the schedule Friday by the lockout and the byplay between the league and the NHL Players Association took on an even darker tone.
The league canceled all games through Dec. 14 and also shelved All-Star Weekend in Columbus, scheduled for Jan. 26-27. The cancellations take the total number of games lost to the lockout up to 422, or 34.3 percent of the schedule. The Buffalo Sabres have now had 27 games wiped off the original schedule (15 at home).
In this round of cancellations, the Sabres lost home games against San Jose, Montreal, Ottawa and Chicago, as well as road games against Boston, Toronto and Montreal. Of course, if there's a season, a completely new schedule is going to have to be drawn up anyway.
"The reality of losing more regular-season games as well as the 2013 NHL All-Star Weekend in Columbus is extremely disappointing," said NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly. "We feel badly for NHL fans and particularly those in Columbus, and we intend to work closely with the Blue Jackets organization to return the NHL All-Star events to Columbus and their fans as quickly as possible."
If players participate in the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, there will be no All-Star festivities during the 2013-14 season, meaning Columbus will have to wait until at least 2015.
NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr reacted angrily to the league's latest news.
"On Wednesday, the players presented a comprehensive proposal, once again moving in the owners' direction in order to get the game back on the ice," Fehr said in a statement. "The gap that remains on the core economic issues is $182 million. On Wednesday, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said that the league is losing $18-20 million per day during the lockout, therefore two more weeks of canceled games far exceeds the current economic gap.
"It makes the NHL's announcement of further game cancellations, including the 2013 All-Star Weekend, all the more unnecessary, and disappointing for all hockey fans – especially those in Columbus. The players remain ready to negotiate but we require a willing negotiating partner."
A couple of hours earlier, Daly and NHL Special Counsel Steve Fehr appeared separately in live interviews on Sportsnet 590 The FAN, the all-sports radio station in Toronto. They said they spoke briefly Friday but that no new talks are planned after Wednesday's session did not produce any real progress on core economic issues.
Said Steve Fehr: "We moved a couple of miles, and they moved a couple of inches. If it was Thanksgiving dinner, they gave us a relish tray but no turkey."
For his part, Daly warned that the rumblings about decertification of the union would not speed the process to a solution but in fact would jeopardize any hopes of a settlement.
Daly called it "a time-consuming process that would likely lead to the end of the season."
To whom was the warning directed? It was clearly aimed at Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller, who emailed the Toronto Globe and Mail (the national newspaper of Canada) late Thursday night and became the first player to publicly endorse that direction.
"After watching the other sport leagues go through labor disputes last year, it is apparent that until decertification is filed, there will not be any real movement or negotiation," Miller wrote, referring to lockouts in the NFL and NBA once those players threatened to decertify.
Decertification (dissolving the union) certainly comes with risks. While it would allow the players to go to court seeking an injunction to end the lockout or to file an antitrust lawsuit, it could render large sections of the current CBA moot and prompt owners to impose other conditions.
"I am tired of the disregard and the ego," Miller wrote. "Our fans and sponsors are alienated, and this is hurting the game. This process has more of the appearance of brand suicide than a negotiation."
In non-lockout news, Sabres assistant coach Teppo Numminen was named Friday to the 2013 class of inductees for the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame.
He will be inducted in May in Stockholm, Sweden, in a class that includes former NHL and international stars Peter Forsberg, Paul Henderson and Mats Sundin.
Numminen played in four Olympics (winning three medals), four IIHF World Championships, and another four Canada Cup/World Cup events for his native Finland. With the previous induction of his father, Kalevi, as a builder in 2011 for his role as a coach of the Finnish National Team, the Numminens will become the first father-son pair in the IIHF Hall of Fame.

lately more and more companies have been producing 520-540TVL color cameras. Typically these are digitally enhanced to that resolution so it will differ from one to the next as far as quality goes. Sanyo has had the 520TVL cameras now for several years, so essentially it is nothing new. Its just cheaper to do the processing now then it was back then.
Personally I dont find much of a difference in the quality from the 480 to 540 cameras, but remember quality of the camera's image will also depend on the lighting/glare capabilities, Backlighting (somewhat related) capabilities, Lens/Focus, and overall effective pixels (actual clarity of image). With the Sanyo's I always disable the 520TVL feature anyway.
Most of the 540TVL cameras come out of S korea Now from a couple main manufacturers.
Look for the Effective/Pixels in the camera's specs though, as thats what really matters. If its a cheap OEM camera its highly unlikely that you will find those specs and more chance that they will not have the effective pixels of a more expensive camera. It will differ.

Two Pella Christian alumni are in their senior seasons of college basketball.
The Pella Christian girls tennis team will be well represented at tomorrow's Class 1A Girls Individual State Tennis Tournament, as the Lady Eagles have not one, but BOTH doubles teams included in the field. Of course, to get to that point, the two had to face each other in the Regional Finals; and the no. 2 doubles team of Aubree Else and Kayla DeBruin got the better of the tandem of Megan Van Kooten and Paige Engbers. All four girls joined KNIA/KRLS Sports Director Eric Gotschall on this week's Marion County PM Sports Page program to discuss what it took to get to this point and what they're looking forward to in Waterloo.

Pacers' Hill misses Game 5 against Knicks because of concussion
NEW YORK – The Indiana Pacers were without starting guard George Hill in Game 5 against the New York Knicks because of a concussion.
Coach Frank Vogel says Hill was hurt after a collision with Knicks center Tyson Chandler during the first half of Indiana's 93-82 victory on Tuesday. Hill finished the game and scored 26 points as the Pacers took a 3-1 lead.
Hill had experienced headaches and showed concussion symptoms since and wasn't able to pass the league's concussion tests so he could play Thursday night.
Vogel says Hill is day to day and won't play again until he has passed the tests.
D.J. Augustin was to take the majority of Hill's minutes.
The Knicks also changed their lineup, reinserting guard Pablo Prigioni after going with a bigger lineup Tuesday.

Megaupload Boss Kim Dotcom Granted Bail After US Fails To Prove He's Got Cash Stashed Away To Make An Escape
from the nice-try dept
In the North Shore District Court this morning, Justice Nevin Dawson said that after a long time where officials could investigate the Dotcom's potential access to funds - none of significance had been found. Justice Dawson said it was "highly unlikely" that he had other financial resources available to him that had not already been seized.I've certainly noticed attempts by many to try Dotcom based on his outward appearance or the fact that he clearly was a show off who flung money around. And I can understand that desire. But, any trial should be based on the actual facts against him, not the fact that he was apparently tacky and a showoff when he spent money. If that, alone, was a crime, then tons of famous musicians, movie stars and athletes deserve the same treatment.
Prosecution acting for the United States Government had said that because Dotcom was "very wealthy" it was probably he had more bank accounts.
However, Justice Dawson said that put Dotcom in the position of having to "prove a negative" and that assertion was not enough to imply his flight risk.
Four new bank accounts were discovered in the Philippines, but they were empty, he said.
"The suspicion that Mr. Dotcom is very wealthy is not evidence of further assets and cannot be used against him."
That said, the conditions of bail include no internet usage, which (as we've noted in the past) is pretty ridiculous, since nearly everything touches the internet these days, including popular phone systems. It seems perfectly reasonable to say that he can't have anything to do with cyberlockers or Megaupload or such, but a complete internet ban seems extreme.

How To: File a Petition
In Family Court, an individual or agency may start a proceeding by the filing of a petition. The person bringing the action is called the Petitioner. The person whom the action is against is called the Respondent. A petition is a written description of the circumstances of the case. You may find a blank copy of a petition by clicking on this link: (link to forms) or you may go to your local Family Court Clerk's office. Each county has a Family Court, most are open between the hours of 9 am to 5 pm weekdays. You will need to know what relief you are asking the court to provide, some examples are requests for custody or visitation. If you fill out the petition at the clerk's office, you will be asked for picture identification and to swear if everything on the petition is true and accurate - this is called notarization. If you fill out the petition from the on-line forms you will need to have it notarized before sending it to the court. Once the clerk's office files the petition, notices or summonses are sent out to the parties directing them to appear in court on a certain date and time or you may receive papers with directions to arrange for service of the papers on the other party depending upon the case type and individual court practice. If you are the petitioner and do not appear, the case may be dismissed. If you are the respondent and do not appear, the judge may grant the petitioner's request.
Different case types have different filing requirements. For specific information, go to the case type link (link to case type explanations) and read more, or contact your local Family Court Clerk's office.Back to Family Court Home Page

Most of us older ones know that when you get to the late 20's you look back at the last 10 years of stressing and angst and wonder...what the f*ck was all that about, what a waste of 10 years
then you hit your 30's and generally your life starts to settle
By the time you get to the 40's your approaching the mellow time and f*ck it phase that older age group offers
so how does that work as an asexual? By the time you reach your 40's, your pretty much set in your ways in your personal life, working life and home life but sometimes even those of us who are sex positive, feel sometimes it would be nice to share your time with someone ,,but not all your time
I think generally in the western world and largely where so many young wrongly identify as asexual....the "need to be in a relationship" doesn't seem to be a need anymore
young and sexual seems to be able to fill their needs by one night stands but then fill the relationship part by online relationships
but asexuals and older ones...I don't know..it's almost as though the expectation for a relationship has almost past and it's a huge relief to have that weight off your shoulders so you no longer have to say. "asexual partners are hard to find" as people just accept older, is okay to be alone? i don't know if this is making sense?
Finding peace as an older asexual

LONDON (AP) — British American Tobacco has offered to buy out Reynolds American Inc. for $47 billion in an attempt to gain a strong presence in the U.S., a lucrative market where sales of electronic cigarettes are booming as traditional smoking fades.
WASHINGTON (AP) – America's largest tobacco companies must inform consumers that cigarettes were designed to increase addiction, but not that they lied to the public about the dangers of smoking, a federal appeals court ruled on Friday.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Just a few years ago, early adopters of e-cigarettes got their fix by clumsily screwing together a small battery and a plastic cartridge containing cotton soaked with nicotine.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Federal regulators are putting Camel cigarette maker Reynolds American Inc.'s planned $25 billion takeover of rival Newport maker Lorillard Inc. under the microscope.
NEW YORK (AP) – Tobacco companies are moving quickly to keep pace with the evolution of their industry by embracing the increasingly popular e-cigarettes and making them more available to consumers.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Reynolds American Inc. is expanding its Tobaccoville, North Carolina, manufacturing complex as it plans national distribution of its Vuse brand electronic cigarette this summer, the company said Friday.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The federal government wants to ban sales of electronic cigarettes to minors and require approval for new products and health warning labels.
While the proposal being issued Thursday by the Food and Drug Administration won't immediately mean changes for the popular devices, the move is aimed at eventually taming the fast-growing e-cigarette industry.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The nation's tobacco companies and the Justice Department are including media outlets that target more of the black community in court-ordered advertisements that say the cigarette makers lied about the dangers of smoking, according to a brief filed in U.S. District Court in Washington on Wednesday.
Create A Cig, located in a strip mall on Poplar Avenue across from East High School, is not just an electronic cigarette retail store.
Walk inside and you feel like you are in a coffee house (notice the Jenga and Yahtzee games), in an ice cream parlor (not just 31 flavors, but a base of 250), and in a head shop – it smells rather like incense burning, and the Rolling Stones' "Miss You" from 1978 is playing through the speakers.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – A Food and Drug Administration review concludes that menthol cigarettes likely pose a greater public health risk than regular cigarettes but does not make a recommendation on whether to limit or ban the minty smokes – one of the few growth sectors of the shrinking cigarette business.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – A federal judge will soon decide whether your next tank of gas or bottle of soda comes with a free apology from the Marlboro man and Joe Camel.
A recent ruling ordering a multimedia blitz stating that the nation's largest tobacco companies lied about the dangers of smoking left open the possibility that retailers could be required to post large displays with the mea culpas.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Talk about a smoke break.
Tobacco companies have introduced almost no new cigarettes or smokeless tobacco products in the U.S. in more than 18 months because the federal government has prevented them from doing so, an Associated Press review has found.
WASHINGTON (AP) – A federal appeals court on Friday left intact a court judgment that ordered tobacco companies to do corrective advertising about the dangers of smoking.
The companies sought to overturn a federal judge's order on grounds that the order had been superceded by a 2009 law that gave the Food and Drug Administration authority over the industry, including power to require graphic cigarette warnings.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – America's largest cigarette makers said Tuesday that the federal judge presiding over a decade-old lawsuit against the tobacco industry should delay her decision while other cases challenging new tobacco regulations are decided. The Justice Department, however, argued the case should move forward expeditiously.
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks gained steadily Monday on a round of corporate takeovers and reports that Europe's bailout fund will be larger than anticipated. The Dow Jones industrial average was up nearly 130 points in the late afternoon. The Nasdaq composite index turned positive for the year.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – The nation's top tobacco companies are spending less money on cigarette advertising and promotion and more money on promoting smokeless tobacco products, according to the latest data from the Federal Trade Commission.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – The nation's top tobacco companies' sales aren't expected to go up in smoke despite new grisly warning labels that are set to appear on U.S. cigarettes packs next year.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Justice Department is in a new dispute with the tobacco industry over the government's landmark lawsuit against the companies.
The government has prepared corrective statements it wants the companies to be forced to make about the health hazards from smoking. But the tobacco companies don't want those proposed statements put in the public record before they get a chance to review them.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday to allow the government to seek nearly $300 billion from the tobacco industry for a half-century of deception that "has cost the lives and damaged the health of untold millions of Americans."
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is working to lift the smokescreen clouding the ingredients used in cigarettes and other tobacco products.
In June, tobacco companies must tell the FDA their formulas for the first time, just as drugmakers have for decades. Manufacturers also will have to turn over any studies they've done on the effects of the ingredients.

I believe the standard RS headlamp switch is available. If your car has factory gauges you can swap out the slide valves.
There were 4 headlamp switches used for '69: std, std w/gauges, RS, RS w/gauges. The switches used with factory gauges have a much larger rheostat. That's the ceramic block at the front with embedded coiled wire.

You are in Home Minton & Co., Stoke, Staffordshire
Minton & Co., Stoke, StaffordshireFounded by Herbert Minton, the original Minton and Co was that part of his empire devoted to encaustic tile manufacture. Originally, dust-pressed tiles were sold under the name Minton, Hollins and Co, but an acrimonious law suit in 1868 meant that the firms split and went their own ways. The new firm of Minton Hollins & Co retained the rights to the Minton & Co name which they continued to use for encaustic tile production. After Minton China Works ceased tile production in c1920, Minton Hollins and Co used the Minton and Co name for all tile prodcution until their demise in 1968.

Jason Kuhn, of Move Strong Destin, does more than call out exercise steps while clients desperately plead for a break. Instead, he creates success by transforming the body and mind.
"I really consider myself a health and fitness professional," said Kuhn. "My training goes way beyond the normal workouts. I incorporate everything needed for a client to become successful in reaching their goals."
Since starting his fitness business, Kuhn has always had goals of expanding. And in a few weeks, Move Strong Destin will take up residence in Miramar Beach. What started out as beach boot-camps has become a fitness center equipped with enough space to hold group sessions and filled with fitness equipment waiting to be used. Kuhn still hosts boot camps as well as coaching one-on-one and small group training sessions.
As Move Strong Destin continues to grow, Kuhn is looking to hire new faces, but that won't mean he'll stop working.
"I just love what I do and I wouldn't have it any other way," he said.
Certified through The International Sports and Science Association (ISSA) for the past 11 years, Kuhn still regularly attends training seminars and programs every year to keep up with the ever changing trends in fitness. He incorporates those trends and the tried-and-true routines into his training for clients, noting that everybody and every body is different.
"Our group consists of pretty much all ages, male and female of all different fitness levels," Kuhn said.
As a trainer, part of Kuhn's job is to get to know his clients and their goals.
"I learn to know pretty much everything about a client and that is what helps me help them become successful in their fitness journey," he said.
Even with the expansion, Move Strong Destin, aims to keep group sessions small to help develop and customize the proper regimen for each individual.
"Classes at most big box gyms are not customized and half the time the trainer doesn't know anything about the people they are teaching, and sometimes they don't even know their name," Kuhn said. "We bring a very personalized, friendly feeling to all of our team members."
Move Strong Destin will not just take on any client, instead Kuhn looks for dedicated individuals ready to work hard.
"Our success rate is high because we make sure our clients are ready to fully commit and work their butts off," he explained. "As long as a member is fully committed, we will do everything to help them."
As a business owner and father of five small children, Kuhn's not too tolerant of excuses. He even joked that trainers will stalk and harass clients for missing sessions and veering from their fitness plans.
"Stalking and harassment is at no extra charge; it's included in the training," he said.
With the business expansion, Kuhn and his Move Strong Destin employees are looking forward to helping even more people in the area to live healthy lifestyles.
"And, of course, I can't wait to see our current team continue to crush their current goals and have them set new ones to reach," he said. "Our mission is simple � to help as many people as possible have the body and health that they want and deserve."

When Jeff Francoeur retires from baseball, he may yet become a nuclear physicist or rocket scientist. He may invent a spacecraft that can escape the outer reaches of the galaxy and send back vital information concerning the origins of the universe. Maybe he'll even set his sights on inventing a jetpack to finally shut up all the people who think they were promised jetpacks (like this band).
Francoeur can accomplish anything he sets his mind to -- but being savvy and aware of his surroundings must not be a prerequisite. This was made clear recently when Francoeur was convinced, relatively easily, by his Triple-A teammates that pitcher Jorge Reyes is deaf.
Reyes, as he explains in the accompanying video without the benefit of sign language, is not deaf. There were ample signs that Reyes wasn't deaf, but Francoeur ignored them because… well, because he's Jeff Francoeur and Jeff Francoeur ignores signs.
The end result was one of the best baseball pranks enacted in some time.
Pranks are a time-honored tradition in professional baseball, primarily because the game is played by men with the sense of humor of middle-schoolers, the free time of the retired, and the monetary funds of Scrooge McDuck. Who else has time to set fire to someone else's shoe while they're still wearing it? Or create a bucket full of pickle juice, milk, eggs, rotten fruit, anchovies, and old lunchmeat specifically for the purpose of dumping it on someone's head? Or put human poop in someone else's glove? Or… Stop! Go back! Poop in someone's glove? Yeah, it was… You know what? Forget I asked.
Actually, we should go back, not to the poop glove (never to the poop glove), but the one before that -- the bucket of anchovies and old meat. That prank is called the Three Man Lift, and it's a standard bait and switch. The premise is a simple one. Three men, often (read: always) rookies, lie down on the ground and are tied together so one of their teammates can attempt to perform a feat of strength by lifting them up as many times as possible. Only he doesn't attempt to lift them up because that would be stupid and likely cause injury. Instead he pretends to prepare to lift them while other teammates grab disgusting things. Then he runs away while they dump filth on the three men (read: rookies) lying on the ground. This is hilarious. Never mind that the rookies would have likely sat quietly in foldable chairs and waited patiently after a veteran teammate told them, "Sit there. I gotta find [excrement] to dump on your head." It's the conceit followed by the filth that makes it worthwhile. So worthwhile, in fact, that the joke has been used enough to receive a name. It's at this point that I suggest any potential MLB rookies Google "Three Man Lift" and make sure, should anyone bring this little trick up, that they're conveniently sick or in the rest room when it all goes down.
There are of course dozens of other common baseball pranks. There's the "bubble gum on the hat" trick, for example, where someone blows a bubble out of chewing gum and deposits it discretely on someone else's head without their knowledge. Then the unsuspecting player walks around with gum on their head for upwards of a few innings while the other dugout denizens giggle uncontrollably. It's no poop glove, but it's tradition and it's silly -- so, on those grounds, it's a good one.
Another traditional prank, though these days a rather mundane one, is the old shaving cream pie in the face. The set-up is simple. Walk behind someone, preferably mid-interview on live television, then reach around and smash them in the face with a towel or pie tin sprayed full of shaving cream. Then they have shaving cream on their face, which
isn't where shaving cream goes and therefore is hilarious is where shaving cream goes but remains hilarious! For some reason this is often applied to a player who did something to win their team the game. Nothing says 'thanks for your effort!' like public humiliation mixed with an acute stinging in the eyes.
There's nothing particularly wrong with the traditional fare. Smearing bathroom gels into the mucus membranes of a teammate has its appeal, but I prefer more inventive avenues of expression. Here are my personal top five, in reverse order of awesomeness:
5. Moe Drabowsky
Some players have a talent exceeding the limitations of a single prank. No player before or since has put on the continuing show that Myron Walter Drabowsky did.
Moe Drabowsky was known for... well, pretty much every trick in the book. He set people's shoes on fire, including once the Commissioner of Baseball's. He loved goldfish, which he put in the opposing team's water coolers, and sneezing powder, which he put in their air conditioning ducts, and snakes, which he put absolutely everywhere. Drabowsky was the very definition of "journeyman," playing for eight different teams over 17 seasons -- which had its advantages when it came to pulling pranks.
Perhaps the most famous example came when he was playing against the Kansas City A's in Kansas City. Having played for the A's, Drabowsky knew the intricacies of the stadium's bullpen phone system. He also knew the number for the home team's bullpen. So one day, while A's starter Jim Nash was pitching a dominant shutout, Drabowsky, seated in the opposing bullpen, summoned his gruffest manager voice, grabbed the bullpen phone and called the A's pen. "Get Krausse up!" he bellowed, and slammed the phone down.
"You should've seen them scramble, trying to get Lew Krausse warmed up in a hurry," Drabowsky said later.
4. Joe Carter raffles off Derek Bell's jeep at "Fan Appreciation Day" (1992).
Bell was particularly proud of his Ford Explorer SUV, so it makes his dumbfounded expression all the more wondrous when he sees his beloved car driven onto the field at then-SkyDome while the public address announcer intones "one lucky fan will win Derek Bell's jeep." The whole thing was orchestrated by teammate Joe Carter who, for his use of the crowd and public address announcer, wins as many FunPoints as I'm legally allowed to award.
3. Buck Showalter gets "mad" at Darren O'Day for product placement (2012).
Pranks are funnier when they involve the manager. Here, Orioles manager Buck Showalter berated reliever Darren O'Day for demonstrating an electric people-mover device to a reporter who, it turned out, wasn't a reporter after all. O'Day thought he'd upset his manager something fierce, and was never quite was able to get all the fear out of his face while the cameras were rolling.
2. Charlie Manuel tells Kyle Kendrick he's been traded to Japan (2008).
The level of involvement is what sells it. Manuel delivers an Oscar-worthy performance, members of the Philadelphia press corps dutifully took notes on something they knew to be bunk, and there was even a bunch of fictitious paperwork that Kendrick had to sign. On the one hand, you have to feel badly for Kendrick, who never had a chance. His manager and GM called him into their office, and while their story might have been a bit outlandish, it was hardly impossible to believe in the moment. On the other hand, ha ha!
1. Jared Burton and Brian Duensing stage a bullpen fight (2013).
On August 9 of last season, Twins right fielder Chris Colabello hit a home run in what would become a 7-5 White Sox home win. As it happened, the homer was headed straight for the visiting team's bullpen, occupied at the time by Twins relievers Jared Burton and Brian Duensing. Realizing that the television camera would be following the ball, and realizing that the ball was going to land very close by, and realizing that the bullpen at US Cellualar Field is behind a see-through fence, Burton, just as the ball was landing on the awning that shades the bullpen benches, coldcocked Duensing, whose head snapped back like a boxer's in a prize fight. The whole thing is perfectly executed -- and planned well ahead of time.
Fans following the flight of the ball are never, ever, ever expecting to see one reliever unload a haymaker on another. It preys on our expectations. I love this one most of all, perhaps, because unlike pranking a (mostly) defenseless player, this is a prank on me, you, us -- every one of the thousands of fans who were watching that day. How many people across the greater Minneapolis and south Chicago areas watched that homer land and then, out of the corner of their eyes, saw Burton's fist fly and saw Duensing hit the deck, and did a double-take. Wait, what the heck was THAT??? That is, in a word, beautiful.
The truth about all these pranks is that, for a game set on failure, where the best players make outs all the time and career implosion is always just a few at-bats away, laughing at yourself and, most importantly, others can be therapeutic. And apparently, so can putting poop in someone's glove.

Government Bid to Criminalise Sea Protests Slammed - Move Against International Law, says Legal Advice
A range of well-known New Zealand groups and individuals have today slammed the government's controversial move to criminalise aspects of peaceful protests at sea.
In a joint statement, Greenpeace, Rt Hon Geoffrey Palmer QC, Peter Williams QC, WWF, Forest and Bird, Dame Anne Salmond, Rikirangi Gage of Te Whānau-ā-Apanui, Sir Ngatata Love, the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions, George Armstrong (founder of the Peace Squadron), Amnesty International NZ, Lucy Lawless and many others, say that Simon Bridges' "new law is a sledgehammer designed to attack peaceful protest" and is "being bundled through Parliament without proper scrutiny despite its significant constitutional, democratic and human rights implications."
The amendments to the Crown Minerals Bill, announced by Simon Bridges on Easter Sunday, "breach international law, and attack our democratic freedoms" say the group. New legal advice, also released today, "finds that the proposed amendments to the Crown Minerals (Permitting and Crown Land) Bill would breach international law in a number of respects."
The Crown Minerals Bill, due to be debated in Parliament today, will create new offences against protest activity in the seas around New Zealand, up to 200 miles from shore. Greenpeace Executive Director Bunny McDiarmid called the law, "an affront to New Zealand democracy, and to our long held right and proud tradition of peaceful protest at sea."
"This would affect the very same people who took their boats to seas to confront nuclear ships in our harbours and sailed against French nuclear testing in the Pacific.
"The moratoriums on commercial whaling and drift-netting are further historical achievements that were only possible because of the right to sea-borne protest.
"The most risky activity in the deep-sea for our economy and way of life is not peaceful protest, it's deep-sea oil drilling. You'd have to be some kind of knucklehead not to realise that," said McDiarmid.
The new laws are being proposed after the departure of Brazilian oil giant Petrobras. A flotilla of protest vessels including several yachts and Te Whanau a Apanui fishing vessel the San Pietro confronted seismic testing by Petrobras off the East Cape in 2010.
The proposals include penalties up to $50,000 for an individual, up to 12 months imprisonment and up to $100,000 for a body corporate, and enable the Navy or a police officer to nominate assistants who can stop and detain a ship entering an exclusion zone, remove a person from an exclusion zone. All these parties carry next to no criminal or civilliabilities for anything that happens as a result.
The full text of the joint statement, plus the signatories, is below.Statement on Crown Minerals Bill Amendment 2013
In defence of the right to peaceful protest at sea This proposed new law is an assault on the honourable Kiwi values of having a say and being able to stand up for our country. Simon Bridges' new law is a sledgehammer designed to attack peaceful protest at sea. It is being bundled through Parliament without proper scrutiny despite its significant constitutional, democratic and human rights implications. New Zealanders have a rich history of protesting at sea. It is a part of who we are. The boats that set sail to stop French nuclear testing led to a proud legacy that defines us, and our country. The proposed amendments breach international law, and attack our democratic freedoms. That's why we, the below signed, strongly oppose Simon Bridges' proposed amendment to the Crown Minerals Bill.

Does anyone know if they make a vegetarian or soy product that is similar to crabstick found in sushi? We want to add a little protein to our carrot, cucumber maki.
"People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. People in glass cities shouldn't fire missiles."
I don't know how similar it is to crabstick, but we use tempeh in ours. I usually use the flavored strips called fakin' bacon and cut them into thinner strips. We like their flavor plus it's convenient, but you could also cut up ordinary tempeh and marinate it.
VegieWorld.com has a TON of vegetarian substitutes.
I just saw a post on kitteekake's blog where she fried tofu strips marinated in beet juice, sesame oil, soy sauce and rice vinegar to mock the appearance of crab stick. I thought it was clever. No instructions on the post, but one could probably play around, and it's a more nutritious alternative to the crab roll I linked to earlier.
EDIT: She DOES post the technique for pink tofu on a different site.
I don't know if it is made of veggies or other fishes, but in your grocer's Kosher section there might be fake crab sticks. My mom likes them.
Expanding on the tofu idea, have you tried yuba? (the skin that forms when making bean curd)
Perhaps one of the best ways of approximating crab sticks' surimi 'rubbery' texture might be the Chinese kind of yuba called tofu sticks or tofu bamboo (if you copy and paste 腐竹 and run it through Google Images you'll see lots of photos).
I do like the idea of cooked and shredded tempeh though.
And there's always seitan - which comes in so many varieties.
This isn't a route I would take myself, but there's a recipe here for making fake seafood out of seitan powder: http://www.vegan-food.net/recipe/1197/Seitan-Seafood-Scallops-Fish-Clams...
(although I might try using the cooking broth to flavour yuba sticks if I ever try and make vegetarian surimi)
Kosher surimi/crab sticks are not vegetarian. Shellfish (crabs included) are prohibited from a Jewish diet so the fish paste used to make the sticks has to be free of non-kosher ingredients. It's quite normal for crab sticks to feature very little or any crab at all, the Kosher sticks just guarantee the exclusion of any shellfish.
"Imitation" crab meat is still fish IIRC, just whitefish instead of shellfish.
"Stop having the boring tuna; stop having the boring life" - Vince Offer
I don't know where you live, but here in the lower mainland of BC we have a supermarket chain called T&T and they carry a completely vegetarian crab stick. So they DO exist.

My folks gave me my dads laptop to work on a bit and see if I can fix. Mom spilled a bit of water on the keyboard, now the screen is black when turned on. I tried taking the battery out and the covers off and hit it with a cool blow dryer before letting them rest all day.
When it turns on, I see a cursor in the top left for a few seconds, and then nothing. The screen is lit but there is no display, and the laptop sounds like it is functioning normally. I plugged in my monitor and got the same result. Obviously water and electronics don't mix, but I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion? Thanks!

Trojans top Portage Northern 50-39 on Saturday
For the fourth consecutive year, Sturgis claimed the trophy in the A & K Printing Holiday Tournament, this year defeating Portage Northern, 50-39, Saturday at home.
"It was a magical two-day run, this was the best defense we've played the last two days," Trojan coach Keith Kurowski said. "And I told the boys I wasn't especially happy with our defensive performances in earlier games and I laid the mandate down if you want to win a fourth crown you have to play better defense."
Senior Chance Stewart, who led all scorers with 28 points, has been a part of all four of them.
"It's cool that we won four of them, it's nice to be a part of all four," he said. "It was very physical. They made a couple of runs, but we were able to seize them and make the best out of it."
Jack Scheske, who finished Friday night's game with a hot fourth quarter, continued his streak scoring the first four points of the game to give the Trojans the early lead and as it turned out, one they would not relinquish.
Sturgis increased the lead to 13-6 after one quarter and then 21-7 by halftime as the Trojan defense continued to excel.
"We tweaked some things, the big thing was going to a matchup zone the last two days," Kurowski said. "Earlier in the season, we were strictly man-to-man, and I'm a stubborn man I like playing man-to-man, but I ate some humble pie, and I think the matchup 2-3 zone is going to give us the best chance to win going forward."
Two early 3-pointers by Scheske helped the Trojans build the margin to 29-9 early in the third quarter. Kurowski knew that the Huskies would battle back in the second half.
"They got off to a slow start, credit our defense. "We knew they were going to make a run, they're a 4-1 team," he said. They were averaging close to 70 points and we definitely held them to their season low. They made a run and started to make free throws. I was impressed with the way they battled and didn't quit."
Northern cut the gap to single digits, 29-20, after a pair of free throws by Ben Keizer with 1:33 to go in the quarter. But Stewart converted on 3-of-4 free throws to help push the lead back to double-digits, 32-22, heading into the final quarter.
"They attacked the basket more in the second half and even more in the fourth quarter. As a result, it caused us problems, we got into foul trouble."
Only 18 seconds in, the Trojans lost Ryan Schuller with his fifth foul. Stewart and Scheske also played most of the fourth period with four fouls.
"Once I picked up that fourth I thought they were really going to flop when I hit them down low, so I had to be very careful," Stewart said. "We talked and I said Jack, us two have to be on the court, we've got to handle the pressure, we got it done."
Lonnie Wright was another Trojan who was tagged with a fourth foul, so Kurowski had a lot to worry about during the final eight minutes.
"Winning is hard and winning when you have people in foul trouble in even harder," he said. "Winning against a athletic and talented team is certainly a stressful experience. But we held on. Credit the boys for their composure, we didn't turn the ball over and made enough foul shots to win the game."
The Trojans would go 10-for-16 in the fourth quarter, while the Huskies were 5-for-10. Overall, Sturgis was 21-for-28, with Stewart finishing 17-for-21. Northern was 17-for-31.
Sturgis still lead 46-37 when Stewart made a critical defensively play, that could have been costly.
"I saw him coming up for the layup, I'm like it's too late to get out of the way, so I'm going to take the charge or I'm going to get my fifth, so I'll take my chances." he said. "I set my feet, kinda flopped, and got the call."
The Trojans seemed to sense after that, that they would be tourney champs again.
"It's extremely satisfying, because of the significance, because of the championship and I can't say enough about this group of boys this early in the season," Kurowski said of the win.
The Trojans rode their two returners offensively to the win.
"It's a good thing we brought our 'A' game defensively, because we did struggle offensively," Kurowski said. "The two captains carried the day, they had big games. They're two of the premiere players in this conference and carried this to crown offensively. But defensively it was a total team effort.
Scheske finished with 14 points, Wright added three, Jacob Cline and Schuller each had two and Tristen Stewart had a free throw.
Daryn Snow topped the Huskies with 16 points, Tre Humes chipped in with seven and Max Schuemann added six.
Chance Stewart added 18 rebounds and had three assists and two blocks, Tristen Stewart collected five boards, two assists and two steals, Andrew Airgood had three caroms and two assists and Cline added three steals.

"Yesterday my desktop died, and so I went ahead and got a brand new Windows 8 laptop. It's always been my feeling that as years go on, user experience has been going down for people who use a computer and the Internet, because of decisions all companies make that are clearly anti-user, either because they think they know best, or in many cases, for financial gains. But from spending all night reinstalling everything and customizing the laptop, I realized just how bad it has become." Probably the biggest reason to go Mac or Linux. Such a shame Microsoft found it more important to pressure OEMs into silly Secure Boot nonsense instead of doing something about the anti-user crapware disaster. Goes to show who Microsoft cares about. Hint: it ain't you.

Thom didn't buy a Windows 8 laptop (yet), the person who wrote the article he linked bought it.
I get your confusion though; I've wondered for a long time why the quoted article text isn't indented (like Slashdot) or at least italicized so we don't get the impression that the entire summary is Thom's words.

Value - And Work to Keep - Your Closest Friendships
I don't believe anyone would disagree with one of our most beloved gay icons, Bette Midler, who sang, "you gotta have friends" in her 1972 debut album, "The Divine Ms M." That line continues to ring true for many of us in the LGBT community who may have found ourselves alone and afraid in a less than supportive world at one time or another.
Gay men and lesbians have felt tremendous adversity because the larger culture has challenged us on our "lifestyle choice" or demeaned us for it. So we especially understand how important it is to create a circle of loving and supportive friends through difficult times. My own gay and lesbian friends have described to me how they have created their own "families" from friends when their own family of origin distanced itself or outright rejected them.
I know I'm continually grateful for the good friends in my life who have stood by me in both good times and bad. Friends have stood as best man at my commitment ceremony. They've volunteered to be interviewed for a forthcoming book. And, yes, they have even tried to act as my matchmaker.
That said, it's important not to lose a close friend by not following certain rules of decorum. A 2012 Huffington Post blog "The Five Laws of Gay Friendship" mentions "being tactful, sincere, and building good karma," and most importantly, to "get your own man and not to go after your friend's new boyfriend."
Keeping in mind that one has to work on friendships and be mindful of etiquette, I can't stress enough how vital it is that, if you ever find yourself in a serious argument with a friend, you resolve that dispute as quickly as possible lest you lose that friendship forever.
Unlike marriages or other committed relationship, where children, legalities and lots of other things actually force the partners to confront each other, a friendship doesn't have any formal ties to protect it, only emotional ones.
When those emotional boundaries are disrupted, angry words can result in all communication breaking down, never to be restored. As a result, you have lost that friendship, which you will come to regret in time. I know I have.
I once had a wonderful friend who was not only there for me to talk to every morning but was also an amazing cook who would invite me over for delicious meals and companionship. She even went so far as to rescue my beloved Winston from the dog pound when he got loose from an irresponsible dog sitter. Not realizing that her feelings for me may have been more than friendship, I said the wrong thing to her one day. The resulting hurt feelings abruptly ended that friendship, one I miss even to this day.
So if you ever find yourself in a disagreement with a good friend, take the high road and try to resolve the dispute chop-chop, even if you feel you may be compromising yourself. "Losing face" or feeling that your friend was unfair is a small prices to pay in return for keeping the friendship. For in times of need, when the love of good friends becomes invaluable, you'll be grateful you kept the friendship going.
In the words of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, "I get by with a little help from my friends." So, never forsake yours.

Software Developer
Brilliant? We're hiring.
My name is Keenan Curtis, and I'm reaching out on behalf of Epic Systems in Madison, WI. We already post jobs to USC's general job boards, but are looking for more proactive ways of reaching the best and brightest students. For this reason we would like to post our Software Developer job on the CSE Job Board.
Code with a purpose.
In the world of healthcare, having the right information in the right place at the right time isn't just important - it can mean the difference between life and death. Through the use of Epic's software, harmful medication errors are avoided every day in hospitals across the United States - and that's just one small way your code will help others save lives.
As a developer at Epic, there's a good chance your innovations will affect the life of someone close to you - in fact, you'll directly impact the way 1 in 3 Americans receives healthcare. You'll push the boundaries in creating software to reduce medical errors, improve screening for diseases, and lower the cost of medical care while improving its quality.
Have Fun.
You will write code and more - your input will guide all elements of innovation. You'll meet with experts and end-users and determine novel approaches to each facet of development, from database to user interface. Join a small team of the best and brightest from across the world; Epic's employees currently represent more than 60 nations. With talented co-workers whose passion and willingness to go above and beyond is unparalleled, and a workspace conducive to serious development, you will thrive in a collaborative and casual environment. The challenges you'll be exposed to are numerous.
Epic is located in Madison, Wisconsin - a diverse city regularly ranked as one of the best places to live in the country. No matter what you do for fun - board games or cricket, martial arts or volunteering - you'll find others at Epic who share your interests.
And other good stuff.
Epic offers highly competitive wages and all the benefits you'd expect from a leading software company (401k, great insurance, and stock appreciation rights). But, we also have benefits that definitely fall outside the realm of the anticipated. Have you always wanted to go to New Zealand, but never gotten the chance? Epic's five year sabbatical program not only provides you with an additional four weeks of paid vacation, but it will also cover airfare and lodging costs for you and a guest in any country you've never seen before. You'll also have plenty of opportunities to give back to the community through Epic's charitable efforts. Oh, and did we mention the treehouse?
By applying for Software Development, you'll be considered for all development opportunities across Epic's numerous teams. You will use various technologies to build multi-tier enterprise software for healthcare organizations, including C#.NET, HTML, ASP.NET, VB6, Cache, iPhone, iPad, Business Objects, and Pocket PCs. We will educate you on the technologies you'll use through on-the-job training.
Visa sponsorship is available. Epic is an equal opportunity employer.
- BS/BA, MS/MA, or PhD in Computer Science, Math, Software Engineering or a related field.
- Top-notch academics.
- Relocation to Madison, WI is required and reimbursed.
Apply online at http://careers.epic.com/position-160 or send your resume to firstname.lastname@example.com.

On the way to school today, Maren asked if there were any new Princesses to see in Disney World. "Is Merida gonna be there? I hope so, cuz she's the only one with a different story."
Uh, what are you talking about, kid?
For the uninformed (those who don't have a daughter under the age of about 12) Merida is the girl in Disney's Brave, the one with the crazy, red, flaming hair who rides horses like John Wayne and shoots arrows like Robin Hood. Maren is curious to see if she will meet Merida on our trip South in a few weeks, along with Rapunzel, whom she has yet to meet as well.
I thought it was because she had met the others. Nope. She's actually, I think, pretty tired of the them. Not the princesses, mind you, she's still gonna melt when she sees one, but the stories.
"The princess stories, they are all the same," she said walking across the parking lot today. "Pretty princess, gets in trouble or gets lost or falls asleep, Prince Charming saves them, they kiss, they get married. End of story."
I think, hey you are awfully young to be that cynical. What about happily ever after and the pink and purple nightmare that is her bedroom?

Creating a new disease label
Labels and label values in STEM are used to hold the state of a population at any given time during a simulation. For instance, a compartmental SIR disease model has an SIRLabelValue that includes (among other things) the 3 EMF attributes s, i and r (of type EDouble).
It is possible to create custom EMF labels and label values to represent other more exotic models. For instance, in tuberculosis the population can be be thought of as being in 2 infected states, either actively infected or latently infected. To implement such a disease model we need to create a new label and label value having two infected compartments instead of one.
All disease model labels and label values must extend the StandardDiseaseModelLabel and StandardDiseaseModelLabelValue. By doing this, you inherit three mandatory attributes:
S: The susceptible population.
incidence: The number of new infectious cases in a given time period. You can sub-divide the incidence into particular incidences if a susceptible person can transition onto more than one I compartment, but they you need to aggregate the total incidence into this attribute.
diseaseDeaths. The cumulative number of disease deaths. As for incidence, you can sub-divide this into one attribute for each infected compartment. However, you need to aggregate the number into this attribute.
To create a new label and label value, in your (disease model) plugin (new or existing):
1. Create a new EMF class XYZLabel extending StandardDiseaseModelLabel
2. Create a new EMF class XYZLabelValue extending StandardDiseaseModelLabelValue. You will inherit the mandatory S, incidence and disease deaths attributes.
3. Add 4 EReference attributes to XYZLabel of type XYZLabelValue. The names must be deltaValue, tempValue, probeValue and errorScale. These values are needed to do the integration using Runge Kutta.
5. In XYZLabelValueImpl add the arithmetic methods:
5.1 DiseaseModelLabelValue set(IntegrationLabelValue value) Call super.set(…) and then set any local state variables from the input
5.2 DiseaseModelLabelValue add(IntegrationLabelValue value) Call super.add(…) and then add to any local state variables from the input
5.3 DiseaseModelLabelValue sub(IntegrationLabelValue value) Call super.sub(…) and then subtract from any local state variables from the input
5.4 DiseaseModelLabelValue scale(double scaleFactor) Call super.scale(…) and then scale any local state variables from the input
5.5 DiseaseModelLabelValue add(double addition) Call super.add(…) then add the scalar to any local state variables
5.6 DiseaseModelLabelValue abs() Call super.abs(…) and then set local state variables to their absolute values.
5.7 IntegrationLabelValue divide(IntegrationLabelValue d) Call super.divide(…) then divide any local state variables from the input
5.8 double max() Call super.max() and determine the maximum value of any state variables.
5.9 public void reset() Call super.reset() and reset any local state variables to their default values

The Museum of Modern Art's migration to the cloud started last June, when MoMA moved from an on-premises email system to Google's cloud-based Gmail and Calendar, says Juan Montes, IS manager for the New York-based museum. And now, he says, he's seeing employees turn to other cloud-based productivity applications on their own as they become more comfortable with the notion.
"There's wide adoption of what I call the Google collaboration space, and it's a mixed bag of things in there," Montes says. "We see people putting up Microsoft Office docs in Google to share and collaborate within the organization as well as outside it."
Montes says that cloud-based software clearly has a strong foothold in his organization, but that he's still not quite ready to completely switch over to the cloud for personal productivity applications. Why?

Panettone time of year!
I baked this panettone for the first time last year HERE and loved it so much I'm baking it for family and friends again this year. No matter what formula you choose...do make a panettone, you will love it and want it everyear...and it's really not as difficult as it seems...really!
It was done a little different from last years...mixing was done both KA and hand, toppings, fruits, brandy, liqueur and extracts. I won't have a crumb shot, maybe in about 3 days. I know the flavor really comes through with a little time...it just gets better and when it does begin to dry a little...Oh what delicious bread pudding..that is if there's any left. Last year I used the chocolate topping from Susans wildyeastblog and this year a delicous plain Almond Paste topping. I used all dried fruits. I made 2 large panettone and 3 smaller ones..my new smaller panettone molds were found at Sir La Table and just arrived this afternoon...in time for the second batch. I made double formula this year.
Dried fruit blend with a little brandy, Disaronno, Fiori de Silica and extracts of orange, lemon
This is a double batch of fruit.
The babysat, pampered for hours and for days now ready sponge.
Cooling - I inserted the wooden skewers after they were baked - It can be done before the batter goes
into the paper molds...which is better...I forgot to do it before baking. The bread is hot and you don't want
to squish it while inserting the skewers.
Cooled Panettone with Almond Paste Topping
Almond Paste Topping Recipe
1/2 Cup of good quality Almond Paste, room temperature
3 Tablespoons of Bakers Sugar - I use bakers sugar in most of my pastry baking
you can use regular granulated sugar.
2 Egg Whites.
Beat until creamy and smooth consistancy from spreading, being careful not to deflate your
panettone. Add sliced almonds and pearl sugar. Or you can use powdered sugar. It can be
also be refrigerated and rewhipped smooth before using. I applied it very thick, love the crunch
and flavor.
My Italian neighbors lovely oranges, I use for citrus peel and zest. Oranges in exchange for Panettone!
They are delicious, their Cara Cara Oranges have the lovliest pinkish tinge and make gorgeous colorful peel.
ADDED: Crumb shot, Mike couldn't wait another day! Just delicous addicting!
The almond slivers seem to dissappear into the crumb but are a wonderful addition.
I had forgotten to purchase some and was so relieved when I found a new bag in my
Happy Holiday Baking!
