With polarization in Congress and across the country widening the gap between conservatives and progressives on every imaginable issue, it's probably time to forget about the two sides meeting in the middle on compromises to deal with the economy, the federal debt and myriad social issues.
After all, compromise only seems to happen when one side realizes its power base is slipping. Here, each side in every argument has a counter for every move by the other side. Heavily Democratic minority voters are becoming more numerous, but a conservative Supreme Court has allowed unlimited funding of election propaganda by the wealthy, large organizations and businesses. Checkmate.
Republican majorities in a number of red states have fashioned new electoral qualifications de-signed to make it harder for low-income (mostly Democratic) voters to cast ballots. Even when Democrats have the voter enrollment advantage, that edge can be neutralized. Checkmate.
President Obama and other Democrats gain with some voters by supporting choice for women and gay marriage, along with a number of other progressive issues. They also fire up social conservatives and evangelical Christians in many states -- sometimes enough to tip the scales in a swing state.
The balance of power between the red and blue positions is thus maintained, not unlike the days of Mutually Assured Destruction (or MAD) with the nuclear superpowers, the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
In Congress itself, we have the Republicans in charge in the House and the Democrats in the Senate and the White House. The Supreme Court has tended to narrowly vote the conservative line, and it is expected to soon decide whether the Obama health care reform law is wholly or partly unconstitutional.
It isn't so much the political infighting that is exasperating to most Americans; it's the fact neither side wins, neither side loses, and nothing get done. Meanwhile, the debt climbs, the economy remains tepid and employment levels are painfully high.
Folks, this is not going to end through compromise, no matter how often cable TV "experts" bemoan the supposed good old days when that sort of thing happened in Washington and state capitals. Maybe it seemed that way for a few brief moments during the post-World War II boom, when the rest of the world was economically prostrate, but that was all and it's now history.
Decisive action by someone is what is required; someone's vision will have to prevail and that vision is going to have to produce results most Americans are happy with. But in order for this to occur, aren't structural changes strongly indicated? Without that, it may prove impossible for any party to ever gain a clear majority and govern effectively.
One obvious change would be to alter or junk the filibuster/closure rules in the U.S. Senate, which the Democrats could have changed at the beginning of the current session but didn't -- and this week Majority Leader Harry Reid was bemoaning that.
Also, do we need term limits at the state or federal level? That might help. Should we elect the president on popular votes alone? Why not?
Should we add justices to the Supreme Court to make it more difficult for one side or the other to pack the court -- and less likely either side would bother to delay a floor vote in the Senate on presidential nominees? Another attractive idea guaranteed to shatter the status quo.
Can't we come up with ways to ensure that electoral redistricting forced by population changes is done with a minimum of political intrusion, perhaps by a commission not directly controlled by political parties?
Couldn't we allow states more leeway to opt in or out of domestic federal programs, rather than have those who want to spend more subsidize states that refuse to spend more? Wouldn't this allow coalitions of states that believe in spending more on social programs, like Vermont? We would love to see that.
No one should fool themselves into believing that either conservatives or progressives will soon triumph and push through their agenda in full, or that compromise will allow both to split the difference for the good of the country.
However, instead of feeling hopeless, we could work to reform our over-engineered checks and balances that were designed in the 18th and 19th centuries and are now in dire need of tweaking.

Q&A: Enn Reitel, Cast Member of "The Adventures of Tintin"
Published December 20, 2011By Dorri Olds
Veteran actor Enn Reitel played two characters in Steven Spielberg's film, "The Adventures of Tintin". One is the long suffering butler, Nestor, and the second is Mr. Crabtree, a vendor at the Old Street Market. Reitel is a Scottish actor whose resume includes voice work in Tim Burton's "Corpse Bride" and "The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest".
Who is your favorite movie dog?
Enn Reitel: Well, you know I had a dog. He was the love of my life. His name was Hector. He was a little Yorkie. He went last year at age 15. You know, we all have in our life one pet that is really the one. For me, that was Hector.
Are you going to bring a new dog into your life now?
Reitel: I don't know. Not sure I'll do it again because now I'm very mobile.
What's it like working with Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson?
Reitel: Remarkably easy. When people have been at it as long as they have, it's easy. Steven knows exactly what he wants and when he's got it, he's got it. It was the most relaxed atmosphere I've ever been in.
What was it like working with this type of technology?
Reitel: It's kind of like doing a filmed radio thing. Because with the motion capture you're wearing this kind of wet suit and you've got to lower your face and you wear a crash helmet. You've got a camera right up to your face. It's sort of like one long rehearsal process.
Was that stressful?
Reitel: No, the opposite. It takes all the pressure away because you only have to move this way and that way and you don't have to worry about this person or that person. It just makes it so easy. It's a fun medium. I think that's why I had so much fun doing it.

Other PC tablets have been developed using previous versions of Google Android operating systems, but tablets that use Honeycomb, Android 3.0, include a variety of helpful features, including large, high resolution screens. The operating system also supports multi-core processors and hardware acceleration for graphics – features that we experience in our regular PCs.
Honeycomb Upgrade
The Honeycomb upgrade was finalized in February 2011 with the release of the 10.1-inch wide-screen Motorola Xoom. Honeycomb makes it possible for the Xoom's high-def touch-screen to have 1280-by-800 WXGA resolution, which displays images sharper and crisper. The tablet's 5-megapixel camera and 2-megapixel webcam include a digital zoom, automatic focus and a dual-LED flash. Honeycomb also lets you open multiple applications at the same time. Edit, save and share various types of documents on a Xoom. Check your email and set appointments all at the same time – in a secure, data-encrypted environment. And Honeycomb and Adobe Flash® 10 let you search the whole internet, not just particular web apps.
Other Honeycomb-based tablets entered the market shortly after the Xoom, such as the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, Archos 10.1-inch Multimedia Internet Tablet, and the Acer Iconia Tablet.
Like the Xoom, the Archos 10.1-inch Multimedia Internet Tablet features a high-definition touch-screen. It also features a slim and light design. The half-inch thick tablet weighs less than a pound, which makes it easy to take with you wherever you go. With its ultra-powerful processor, webcam, email and chat applications and comfortable keyboard, you'll use this tablet as though it were a laptop. Its 1-gigahertz processor, Adobe Flash® 10 and Wi-Fi technology let you easily browse the internet.
Refined Features from Gingerbread
By comparison, Android 2.3, or Gingerbread, the previous version of the Android operating system, was designed for PC smartphones, as were versions before it. The Gingerbread upgrade refined the user interface, improved the soft keyboard and the copy and paste features. In addition, 2.3 added support for near field communication (NFC), a short-range wireless technology in apps that allow you to pay for goods, unlock doors, or exchange data (beam) between users – all by simply pointing your smartphone to an equipped scanner. Tags added to the app software that feature NFC can securely store personal data such as debit card and credit card numbers, PINs, loyalty data and networking contacts. Android 2.3 has made smartphones extra smart by providing additional features that make your phone even more useful and user-friendly.
And Android isn't done coming out with even more powerful mobile operating systems. Google has announced the future release of Android 3.1 for even more powerful tablets, and it has scheduled the release of Android 2.4, a.k.a. the Ice Cream Sandwich, before Christmas 2011.
Android 2.4 will merge Gingerbread and Honeycomb so that developers can implement the technology for use in both tablets and smartphones. The update will feature Fragments API, a technology that will better support transitions between different screen sizes, such as tablet to smartphone. The technology is particularly needful for viewing websites from either a large or small screen.

Don't be disingenuous. The issue is quite obviously that different people have different notions of what is clean for shell code. And no, the rest of this distro does not have an obligation to prove to you that what has been in these spells for years is "common practice". These are how spells are formatted, and there are a lot of them. I don't need to prove to you that 2+2=4. > Neither me, no other devs/users (you can ask them on IRC or read theirs > answers @ MLs) want to go through the jungles of spaces to change/fix > something in code. Fine. To be absolutely fair, I have now read every reply to every commit you've made since Nov 07. You may wish I had not--there is a disturbing frequency of people replying to your commits with issues or questions, and you not responding. I did not take the time to check all the spells in question to see if you fixed the issues and just didn't say anything, but given the number of recurring comments about the same issues, you probably don't want me to check into that either. What I definitely did not see is any pattern of people agreeing with you on formatting. In fact I didn't find one reply on the commits list in support of it. I did find several places where people asked you to stop. The first time it's mentioned is here: http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/sm-commit/2007-November/thread.html#13648 and the responses are all in the direction of the same thing we are telling you now, a year later. You didn't bother to reply to that thread. We also have: http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/sm-commit/2008-July/017821.html which points out why it's not correct to just remove quotes on variable references, and: http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/sm-commit/2008-July/018007.html which makes it quite senior developers don't want you making these changes in the spells they have historically maintained. I also checked SM-Discuss, but the only relevant thread I found is this: http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/sm-discuss/2008-July/018468.html which ends without anything like a final decision, though the consensus from the leads posting there is pretty clearly to leave things as they have been--without formal standards, and letting people work as they need to in the files they're creating or sections/spells they are taking over. This is good summary post: http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/sm-discuss/2008-July/018491.html I did not go through all my IRC logs but I don't expect to find a different sentiment there given the percentage of leads that have already weighed in on this, and who they are. You have heard from the people that have the most into this distro and they have quite clearly told you to stop doing this. > Since we've not been having the strict rules for formatting, I can't do this: > > Please don't do this anymore. Yes, you can, it's quite simple: stop doing it. Not having formal formatting rules does NOT mean any individual developer can make himself a tyrant and change everything to the format he likes. It means we don't demand a specific style of people--and neither do you. It means loose consensus is good enough, and we have that, but you are violating it. Repeatedly. > > Yes, I'd prefer you revert that commit and redo it with just the functional > > changes included instead of all the formatting changes. > > By saying "fix" I didn't mean "revert", I meant "FIX". Fix the problem I > made with that commit - align the lines and cut theirs length to 80 > chars. As PL I am saying that these informal standards are to be respected as much as is reasonable and possible: 1) Do not make significant formatting changes along with actual fixes in the same commit, where "significant" means the changes are on lines that would not be changed as part of the real fix. 2) Leave formatting in spells and sections as you find them until you have done enough work in those spells or sections to be generally recognized (officially or unofficially) as the senior maintainer of those spells or sections. If you continue to work outside these guidelines, expect your commits to be revertered for you at the discretion of Leads and other senior developers who have better ways to spend their time than trying to review commits with excessive noise in them or redoing formatting in their own spells to what they prefer. If you or anyone else doesn't like this, I'd recommend a discussion on the list of other ideas until another proposal has enough definition to make a formal proposal and call for a real vote. Given the comments made so far, though, I am reasonably confident I'm merely stating what the general consensus already is and would prefer we just move on. Alternately, if Arwed disagrees and wants to state another policy (and lacking a vote of the developers to the contrary) I as always will defer to him with respect to code in his component. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I am sorry guys, I was locked out of my webpage!
Its been a month of drama, and undeserved love. I raced to the door for a patient callout. Wrenching on the door, I dragged it open, taken my big toenail off with it. We dealt with the patient and then my toe.
We decided to celebrate all the kids safely returning back after the holidays, by having a banquet. When teaching them , from Songs of Solomon, "He brought me to his banqueting table, His banner over me is love." I had to explain banqueting…. so the kids gave me a list of what food they thought would be in heaven. Durian made it onto the list. I guess the tree of life had the power of good and evil!
In preparation of the feast food, I dropped the durian. OOOWWEEEE! A spike punctured the same big toe. By Sabbath afternoon I was fevered, shaking and pained. A trip to the local hospital did nothing. Fortunately my friend Dr Nick Walters gave me the correct medication… I had it in the clinic shelves. Now two weeks later, I am beginning to be able to walk a little. Praise God for friends, for volunteeers and for medicine donated in advance of the need.

7 Holiday Tips for Small-Business Owners
By and large, Wilson says, major retailers have been increasingly aggressive with sales and promotions this year to expand their business. Big chains such as Wal-Mart offered free shipping and price match guarantees during the peak of the shopping season, while others, including Kmart and Best Buy, extended Cyber Monday deals into a weeklong bonanza.
"In 2008 and 2009, the great deals offered by the major retailers basically came from desperation. Retailers were scared they had too much inventory and not enough consumer demand," Wilson says. "But this year, the bigger retailers have mostly regained their health and are mainly discounting their items as a means to grow their business."
While this may be great for consumers searching for bargains, it presents a potential obstacle for smaller stores who can't offer such deep discounts and whose yearly profits may depend largely on healthy holiday sales.
"It's really challenging," says Rhonda Abrams, a small-business columnist for USA Today and president of the Planning Shop, a publishing company with resources for business owners. "Take free shipping as an example. It's become something that shoppers are looking for and being offered constantly by big retailers, but small businesses just don't have the profit margins to do that."
Largely in response to the difficulties small businesses have faced this year, companies such as Facebook and American Express partnered to encourage people to shop locally by promoting Small Business Saturday, a shopping holiday during Thanksgiving weekend to raise awareness of America's small businesses.
"Small Business Saturday was created in response to small-business owners' most pressing need: more demand for their products and services," the companies said in a press release.
Tens of thousands of small businesses signed up for the event, and more than 1 million people "liked" Small Business Saturday on Facebook, which undoubtedly raised consumer awareness for shopping at local stores. But when you consider that Target alone has more than 3 million fans on Facebook, it's clear small businesses still have their holiday work cut out for them.

GOODY, Ky. — The Tug Valley Chamber of Commerce (TVCC) elected four new board members and re-elected its officers for the coming fiscal year.
The organization held its monthly luncheon meeting on Monday at Giovanni's located at the South Side Mall.
Charley McCoy, Scott Poole, David Hatfield and Adam Warren were voted in as the four new board members. The TVCC also replaced two board members that have not been attending meetings on a regular basis. The two members chosen to replace those two slots were June Blevins and Tranquilla Whitt. They will replace Chad May and George Swain.
"It is good to get some new, young blood in the chamber," Chamber President Charley McCoy said of Poole and Warren. They both recently moved back to the Tug Valley area and are getting involved in local tourism and other events.
McCoy was re-elected as president for another year, while Leigh Ann Ray was re-elected as vice president and Sherrie Holler was voted in again as treasurer.
The board voted to change the Coal House internet and telephone service to Suddenlink on the recommendation of Chamber Director Natalie Young. The Chamber has been serviced by Frontier. The new deal will save the TVCC $89 per month and they will also now have cable TV service if needed in the new package.
Holler gave an update on the financial report and said that everything balanced out. The Chamber has been making more revenue in the past few months because of sales of books, T-shirts and other memorabilia.
Hatfield gave the organization an update on the upcoming Hatfield-McCoy Marathon which will be held the weekend of June 7, 8 & 9. Over 640 runners have already registered, doubling the number at the same time last year. Hatfield expects record numbers and that there could be as many as 1,000 runners participating in the half marathon and full marathon this year.
He said the Tug Valley Road Runners Club needs more volunteers, especially with the amount of runners expected to come to the Williamson and Matewan areas that weekend. If anyone is interested in volunteering they can call 606-625-0688. The TVRRC meets each Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Tug Valley Inn on Second Avenue in Williamson. Anyone interested is encouraged to attend.
Hatfield also announced that the Matewan Depot museum is currently closed. The replica depot building is owned by the town of Matewan. However, the Matewan Historical Society has been operating the museum and gift shop. Hatfield suggested that the Chamber offer advice or help to the town of Matewan.
Chamber members agreed that during the next few weeks the museum needs to be opened for tourists. Director Young and President McCoy are to contact the town's mayor Shelia Kessler and maybe some council members to offer assistance and to schedule a meeting.
Wendy Baisden updated the TVCC on her GeoCaching event scheduled for the weekend of August 31 to September 1. Over 100 have already registered for this happening and Baisden, who is one of the top GeoCaching participants in the country, expects as many as 500 in town for the event.
Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches.", according to Wikipedia. The events attract tourists and bring in revenue to areas.
Other events scheduled for the coming weeks are:
May 18 – Matewan Heritage Days and the Relay for Life 5-K in West Williamson
May 20 – WV Sesquicentennial program at the Williamson Library
May 26 – Eugene Crum Memorial Motorcycle Ride
June 1 – Shriners Car Show
June 8-9 – Hatfield & McCoy Festival and Marathon
June 14-16 - Williamson High School all class reunion

Thanks Perimeter Sound wrote: A picture of the elusive Ugo ??
Photos are rare since the elusive Ugo is not frequently seen in the wild, preferring instead to work on audio related projects in it's underground cave. It ventures forth on occasion to forage for food, go to its day job, or visit it's mate - but these tend to be at inconvenient times for researchers, who reportedly have better things to do than try to capture Ugo on film.

I decided to change the case of my launch day 360 last year for no other reason than for something to do (read enjoy taking things apart). I had been eyeing up the Lian Li XB01 for some time and, after paying a brief visit to Scan, decided to give it a go.
The results were a much quieter and cooler console plus I gained better understanding of how it all fitted together.
The Lian Li XB01 is also built with watercooling in mind so when money allows it may well become another project of mine.
Here are some pictures for your perusal.
Half of the standard 360 case gone. The hardest part of the whole project was removing the original case; it just didn't want to go!
The innards; not much to it is there?
Time for the transplant; nurse pass me the Phillips screwdriver stat!
Bare Lian Li ready for fitting.
Off we go. I replaced the included 120mm fan with an Akasa fan to give some illumination; well a little bit of pimpage doesn't hurt.
A few more connections made and we're almost done.
Backplate with a little cable management.
Et viola – runs cooler and quieter and, in my opinion, looks better.
All in all a good afternoon project and a fairly straightforward one to complete.

Family Sign Language
Posted by PWSMom - 12/07/08, 12:38 pmThis daycare in Georgia sounds just wonderful: http://autism.healingthresholds.com/news/reach-for-the-stars-center-teach
It reminds me a bit of what we did with our family when our son was born with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). We decided that we did not want to create two set of family experiences - one for my little guy with PWS and one for my healthy girls. Instead we wanted to create a rich family life that would be fun and educational and satisfying for all of us. There are several things that we did in order to accomplish that. One of those things was to learn sigh language (ASL) as a family. We decided to take it on as a second language. The whole family studied it an used it. We bought the Signing Time videos and part of our family time was watching the videos together and practicing the signs and signing to the songs. When we finally learned everything in all of the videos, we hired an ASL intructor to tutor our family.
There were several wonderful things about this. The first is that the whoele family had an activity that we shared. The second was that my girls learned a second language - not only a second language, but a very cool secret second language. They loved teaching their friends signs and even perfomed in the winter pageant at school by signing to "It's a Wonderful World." I might add that their young and flexible brains made them much quicker at picking up ASL than their parents. They, of course, loved this.
And, finally, my little guy was immersed in ASL from infancy and became a proficient signer. He was able to meet his language milestones and communicate his needs in an age-appropriate manner even though his speech was delayed. I believe that the ASL really did help his language and cognitive development.
At some point, his speech started to come in and our family life got more complicated. (My mother was diangosed with cancer.) At that point we stopped the ASL. We still remember some of our signs, though, and I know that we all have fond memories of our study of ASL.

5-Star OL Braden Smith visiting soon
He could play either tackle or either guard spot. I imagine someone will try to turn him into a LT eventually, but it might take some time to work on his pass blocking skills.
He's got the length to do it along with the time as well considering we should have solid deapth.
If you see someone in an airport with Michigan logos on luggage and they are wearing a pilot uniform come say hello.
For such a big kid, he shows surprising agility and technique like scraping and pulling (hard to clearly see much else from the distant pressbox).
If he plays T, he and Mason would create a formidable left side.
"Everybody wants to be a hero, so to speak. But it takes everybody." - Charles Woodson
This wasn't covered on here but yesterday Chantel Jennings tweeted that a big time recruit was going to spend his third consecutive weekend visit in AA. I assume this means Drake Harris? More good news.
Yes, it's Drake Harris.
Do we have a legitimate shot at him? Is he leaning towards anyone? I would really like to have this guy be part of the team.
Shoelaces flapping in the wind!
He doesn't talk much, but Michigan is considered to be in his top group.
Book end Bradens? Ben Braden at one tackle and Braden Smith at the other? Sounds good to me.
According to his Rivals page, he's 6'6'', 275 lbs, so essentially, on track to be a road grader, as people have mentioned. If Michigan is in his top group, to have another section of The Wall on offense in place for the future would not be a bad thing at all.
His current offers, per their site, includes Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Kansas St., Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ohio St., OKlahoma, South Carolina, Stanford, TCU, Texas, Texas A&M and Virginia.

I don't know guys, it's hard to not say no to the sex appeal of Bill Snyder.
Edit: Replied to the wrong thing, so instead I will say, at what point do you think 5-stars get turned off by having 5-stars in every class before them?
Coach Hoke once told me that a moral victory is still a (expletive deleted) loss.
Ask USC. They seem to be doing a good job of continually attracting 5 stars. Maybe it's Lane Kiffin's pleasing personality.
I think you have to establish a culture where kids know even if they are not "the guy," they will still get playing time through being rotated in. I would guess Hoke is going to attempt to do what he did with the dline and have guys rotate in and out on the oline. Therefore keeping people fresh. We really couldn't afford to do that much last year thanks to depth issues, but in the future, I could see that happen.
It is much less affective to rotate an OL than a DL, I believe. I've never really heard of any teams that have line changes to the front 5. Anyone else want to enlighten me?
Coach Hoke once told me that a moral victory is still a (expletive deleted) loss.
Here's some highlights of Braden at the UA Combine in January. Can get a good sense of what the kid looks like. And that sense is that he looks like he's built like a tank.
Hot dogs are the devil.
His reps in pass blocker were not that impressive, but man is he a specimen. That's a solid 275 lbs for a high school junior. I bet in a couple years he will be stonewalling those defensive ends. Good looking prospect.
and his agility, his upside is going to be ridiculous. . .
for those interested:
"You owe it to every man, woman, and child in the State of Michigan to beat the Buckeyes and silence their fans! Now go out there and make it happen!"
- Bo Schembechler (Result: U-M 22 OSU 0)
over the next few years (15, 13 and 18 IF everyone matriculated on schedule), should we expect more kids from outside the Midwest as the coaches can focus on a tight group of studs?
The 2014 class is showing signs of multiple top 100 kids with most outside MI and OH. There are still 10 or so elite in the area every year but that pile is small with ND and OSU fighting for some of those 10.
It "feels" like Hoke is shifting to more national effort now that a local foundation exists.
"Everybody wants to be a hero, so to speak. But it takes everybody." - Charles Woodson
Braden Smith makes alot of linemen look like chubby dough boys.
"I have seen the top of the mountain. And it is good."
Jeebus! This guy coming at you full steam ahead = Cower.
I'm here for the same reason...
It's good see that the highly rated guys at least seem to find Michigan attractive again. Hope we can pull them in. Speaking of highly rated prospects; is anyone familiar with Clifton Garrett? He's a 4 star linebacker out of Illinois, with offers from all of the big-time programs except Michigan. Does anybody know why Hoke & Company hasn't offered him?
The issue appears to be that Michigan has a plethora of linebackers, and Michigan already has a MIKE in the 2014 class in the form of Michael Ferns III. If Ferns weren't committed, then I think Garrett would have been offered by now.
Hey, those men worked hard for that roof over their tools! Or.....lack there of..

Espy-Wilson, Bergbreiter receive ADVANCE Seed Grants
Two ISR faculty are among 35 recipients funded by the ADVANCE Program for Inclusive Excellences 2012 Interdisciplinary and Engaged Research Seed Grants. Fifteen different projects were funded; the principal investigators come from 24 different departments and academic units across campus.
Professor Carol Espy-Wilson (ECE/ISR) and Professor Sandra Gordon-Salant (Hearing and Speech Sciences, BSOS) will be working together on Speech Processing Algorithms for Elderly Listeners with Hearing Loss.
Assistant Professor Sarah Bergbreiter (ME/ISR) is partnering with Professor Barbara Thorne and Associate Professor Jeffrey Shultz (both from Entomology, CMNS) on Insect and Robot Locomotion with Heavy Loads.
About the ADVANCE Seed GrantsThis is the second cohort of ADVANCE seed grant awardees. The one-year seed grants provide funding for projects that include the integration of two or more disciplines (interdisciplinary research) and/or projects that involve external partners and benefit the public good (engaged research). The seed grants are intended to support preliminary or exploratory projects that will contribute to future external grant applications, while providing women faculty with a vehicle by which they can establish partnerships for scholarly work.
The ADVANCE Program for Inclusive Excellence aims to transform the institutional culture of the University of Maryland by facilitating networks, offering individual mentoring and support, and offering information and strategic opportunities for women faculty in all areas of academia. The program is funded by a five-year, multi-million dollar grant from the National Science Foundation. The ADVANCE Program will produce academic environments with assumptions, values and beliefs, policies and practices that support and generate professional growth and excellence for all faculty.

In Mexico when we go in winter it gets dark roughly the same time as here at home. I actually would prefer it get light out EARLIER here and dark earlier, as I drive to work at 6:15-7:15 on very busy highway and it would be nice to be lighter out, it's much safer. I guess there is just no pleasing everyone. Why do you call it canuckistan? it's Canada. Be nice. I don't call where you live 'mexinarco' or mexicartel' or something like that. |

Confession: I do sometimes go Christmas shopping at 5 am, but that is about my limit. At 3 am, why even go to sleep at all?
The whole Match experience is proving interesting. About 25 men have contacted me, and I get the feeling that some of them don't want me to talk to anyone else even before we have had a single date. And I agree it's more respectful to call a country by it's correct name. |

Your description of Match is exactly what I've heard from a few of my friends that have tried it: interesting. But, they've all liked it. They say it's a good weeding out process to use that is relatively painless usually. They've all reported both good and bad dates...a few multiple daters. But overall, they find it a good way just to get out and do stuff. One of Bean's friends just got engaged from a Match find from 3 years ago. They're a very cute couple. |

Trying to find work appropriate polishes that have a little extra something than the standards nudes and pinks is not an easy feat, that is until I came across the Zoya Flecks range from their Spring 2012 collection Suddenly I've found a great way to give my standard polishes an extra boost without being too outrageous.
In the photo above, it has two coats of Essie's Good Morning Hope with a single coat of Zoya's Chloe. It is a beautiful transparent pink with iridescent flecks (the entire collection contains a similar green and blue), that dries to give you a very smooth finish. I don't use top coat anymore since I find it makes it harder to remove polishes later on, and this combination managed to last an entire week without any chipping at all

Bright Eyes leader Conor Oberst was a prolific songwriter back before he could shave, and he kept up that pace while turning into the poet laureate of Heartbreak Nation and a sex symbol for nice girls who dreamt of mothering him. The unfortunately front-loaded Noise Floor is sixteen tracks' worth of compilation cuts, singles, seven-inches and unreleased material: rambling acoustic songs, unwieldy noise experiments and homespun rock, with warbled beauty and choruses that tumble out and curl up on your lap. Several of these match Oberst's best work. "Trees Get Wheeled Away" is a perfect emo-country song with a triumphant, confused chorus that begins, "There's a virgin in my bed." Even Oberst's woodshedding stuff is pretty good: 1999's undercooked, agonized "The Vanishing Act" sounds like it could be beefed up into a gem.

A 47-year-old man was sentenced Tuesday to three years in jail for sexually assaulting his daughter numerous times over four or five years, starting when she was 10 or 11 years old.
Superior Court Justice Mary Jo Nolan dismissed the defence's request for two years' house arrest so that the accused could continue working and providing support to his daughter and his former wife. Likewise, she found that assistant Crown attorney Scott Pratt's suggestion of six years incarceration was excessive.
"He still wanted to provide financial support," defence lawyer Ken Marley said outside court. "I don't think the mother and daughter were looking for him to go to jail, either, because it's going to have a huge financial impact on them, as well."
Marley nevertheless said Justice Nolan provided a well-reasoned decision.
The man — who was charged with sexual assault, invitation to sexual touching, and sexual interference — pleaded not guilty at the trial, taking the stand in his own defence.
But Nolan said during her earlier ruling that she did not find the accused's testimony believable. On the other hand, Nolan said both the mother and daughter came across as honest when they took the stand to discuss details of the assaults.
The police were alerted to the case by an anonymous tip. Officers then contacted the mother, who asked the daughter about the situation, before speaking to the father.
"There was a confrontation between the three of them, which resulted in the daughter bringing forward the accusations," Marley said.
Though the daughter originally denied to police that anything happened, she later admitted it did.
The court heard that the assault occurred at various times and in various rooms of the family home from about 2001 to about 2005.
The defence had suggested during the trial that the complainant accused her father of sexual assault because she did not like his excessive drinking — the accused has now been sober for three years — and wanted him out of the house.
Nolan rejected that notion.

Sencha Touch HTML5 Project Template for Visual Studio 2010
Posted: July 5th, 2011 | Author: Mahdi Taghizadeh | Filed under: Android, Download, HTML5, iPhone, JavaScript, SenchaTouch, Visual Studio, Web, Web 2.0, Web Development | 8 Comments »Sencha Touch is a powerful JavaScript framework for mobile which is based on HTML5 and CSS3 and let you create eye catching web applications for popular mobile platforms like Android, iOS and BlackBerry.
If you're a Microsoft developer, most likely you prefer to work in your favorite IDE: Visual Studio. In order to create a Sencha Touch powered website in VS you can create an empty website, remove web.config, add necessary JavaScript and CSS files and create an HTML5 file to begin. This is easy but the better way you can use a pre-built project template to create such project in seconds. Today I created the same project and exported it as a Visual Studio Template which you can include in your templates. Let's see how we can do this:
- Download Sencha Touch Project Template.
- Copy downloaded zip file to C:\Users\{USERNAME}\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates (I suggest you rename the file to Sencha Touch Project.zip after copying)
- Open Visual Studio.
- Select "File > New Website…" and then "Sencha Touch Project"

PK Park (map it)
2760 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd
Eugene, OR 97401
Year Opened: 2009
Capacity: 4,000
There are no tickets available at this time.
Official Review by Alex Shoemaker, Stadium Journey Regional Correspondent
In 2009, the University of Oregon announced its intentions of adding a collegiate baseball team to its list of Division-I programs. With that, the local MiLB Eugene Emeralds would have their ballpark for the future as well. The Oregon Ducks baseball team have played at PK Park since 2010.
The transition between parks hasn�t been all roses, however, as many old time fans have refused to make the move over. Many cited a PA system that usually played way too loud, or lack of nostalgia.
Civic Stadium, the former home to the Emeralds, was out-of-date, needed millions of dollars of repairs and a major facelift. Both locker rooms failed to meet MiLB standards, and pillars blocked many fans� viewpoints.
To those boycotting the relocation, you will have to wait a long time. In 2009, the Ems agreed to a 20-year lease worth approximately $200,000 per season. The Ems will be at PK Park for a while.
PK Park, named after former University of Oregon athletic director Pat Kilkenny, cost somewhere between $15-$18 million and is one of the most expensive college baseball stadiums in existence.
The stadium features state-of-the-art home and visiting locker rooms, a high-definition video board and a classic manual scoreboard located in the home team�s bullpen.
PK Park can hold approximately 4,000 visitors.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
At PK Park, fans can find a plethora of mouthwatering foods from which to choose. A burger stand sits at the front of the park, where fans can choose what goes on their burger, dog, brat or other entr�e.
To those not interested in getting something from the grill, fans can go to the upper-concourse and have the option of pulled pork sandwiches, steak sandwiches and more.
My favorite item available is Prince Pucklers Ice Cream. The local ice cream company has been providing delectable treats to Ems fans for decades and is one of the best creameries in the North West.
While Budweiser is the primary sponsor for the Ems, fans have choices of multiple local beers. Periodically during the game, half-off discounts for an Ems' extra base hit will be called out, and fans will rush to the stands before time runs out.
PK Park has one of the nicest atmospheres in the Northwest League.
The seats, like the university's basketball and football stadiums, are positioned as close to the field of play to give fans the ultimate experience and real time feel.
Hugging around the curvature of the field, seats go from behind home plate to both base lines, stopping before hitting the outfield. Bleachers are positioned, for general admission tickets, on the third base side and a plaza-like scene on the first base side.
There are no seats in "home run territory", unfortunately.
The Ems' PR team does an A+ job of making the games enjoyable for all ages, constantly performing contests for the fans throughout. Games include a "Price is Right", "What's In the Box", "Ice Cream Through", races and more.
The rating for neighborhood is one for debate. PK Park is located directly next to Autzen Stadium and several UO sporting fields, giving it a collegiate feel.
It's also, however, two miles from campus and the Ems are not affiliated with the university.
As far as food spots near the ballpark, fans can go to The O Bar and Grill. Whether you're interested in a pregame meal or a beer after, you can fill up at The O Bar.
It's hard to put much stock into the passion of fans for MiLB. Yes some teams have deep fanbases, but most of the crowd at PK Park consists of families wanting to see a good game, get some good food and just have a day off. Besides a home run or score, it's hard to electrify the masses. Fans are respectable, and security is not an issue, but overall the fans fall a bit flat.
Access to the stadium is about what you'd expect. Parking is right next to the ballpark, and at only $3, affordable.
PK Park is close to I-5, the West Coast's largest interstate. Follow the signs to Autzen Stadium, Oregon's football venue, and you should see the field.
PK Park is a great place to catch a game. Whether it's with work, family, by yourself or with friends, there is never a bad time to watch America's pastime.
Tickets range from $12-$18, and there really isn't a bad seat in the place.
Whether you're the type who likes to be right behind home, or down the first base line, you'll have a great view.
A major concern for fans with young children is safety at the ballpark. Those worries are taken care of at PK Park.
A massive net hugs the curvature of the field, blocking foul balls from fans. Of course it is advisable to watch out for foul balls, but line drives are not going to go flying into the crowd.
Also, staff members often hand out sunscreen on extra hot days.

Member Review by megminard on Jul 09, 2012
I visited this stadium just about a year ago (July, 2011). I agree with most of what was said in this review.
What I liked: Canadian National anthem was played (the visiting team was the VanCouver Canadians, plenty of leg room, excellent variety of beer including local brews, plenty of lighting for keeping score, could walk to stadium from hotel. There's a LaQuinta maybe 1/4 mile from the park.
What I didn't like (this is where I may disagree with the author but it is certainly just preferences - not good/bad; just different): Net around the entire field, there is music and noise between almost every pitch and even when announcing pitcher changes so one couldn't hear who was pitching. There was an alcohol monitor person - which I had not seen at a minor league stadium; never mind a low A team.
I'd recommend visiting the stadium.

That could cause providers to not accept Stage 3 as a worthwhile endeavor, the association believes. "We are deeply concerned that eligible professionals and eligible hospitals will perceive the time, energy, cost and effort required to understand and comply with the proposed Stage 3 measures to be so arduous and difficult to meet that they will be unwilling to strive to achieve them," according to the comment letter. "We believe this problem will be amplified by what they interpret as a focus on accountability for increased documentation rather than improved outcomes."
Some proposed measures could require new complex workflows, are difficult to understand, or dependent on technology not available or demonstrated to be usable, the ACP asserts. And other measures lack clear evidence of value to help improve care quality or satisfaction.
On the other hand, there are aspects of the proposals that ACP supports. They include more robust clinical decision support, making text-searchable electronic notes available quicker, having hospitals provide structured lab results to physicians, and timely hospital notification of significant events to a patient's other providers.
The association's comment letter is available here.

text: The following, and attached, are recommendations from the Regional Meeting held in Jakarta, 16-17 October 2009. Islam in Southeast Asia has long been recognized as humane, tolerant, diverse, plural, metropolitan, progressive, and empowering of women. It is thus a matter of urgent concern that the rapid growth of Islamic extremism is now changing the landscape in Southeast Asia, with serious consequences for all living in the region, as well as for the rest of the world. Leaders of ASEAN member states are urged to be cognizant of this regressive trend, which will have serious impacts not only on women's rights, human rights, but also on the stability and development of the region as a whole. The conservative and monolithic values that underlie this trend are intolerant of the diversity that characterizes Southeast Asia. Such extremist attitudes result in acts that marginalize women and also use terrorist tactics to eliminate diversity.

Little things that matter in language design
This is a rework of the earlier patchkit not using IFUNC. This drops various depenendencies and simplifies things quite a lot. Some minor fixes for rwlocks, otherwise no changes. I dropped one patch that was already merged. --- Lock elision using TSX is a technique to optimize lock scaling. It allows to run existing locks in parallel using hardware memory transactions. New instructions (RTM) are used to control memory transactions. The full series is available at http://github.com/andikleen/glibc git://github.com/andikleen/glibc rtm-devel4 An overview is available in http://halobates.de/adding-lock-elision-to-linux.pdf See http://software.intel.com/file/41604 for the full TSX specification. Running TSX requires either new hardware with TSX support, or using the SDE emulator http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-software-d... This patchkit implements a simple adaptive lock elision algorithm based on RTM. It enables elision for the pthread mutexes and rwlocks. The algorithm keeps track whether a mutex successfully elides or not, and stops eliding for some time when it is not. When the CPU supports RTM the elision path is automatically tried, otherwise any elision is disabled. The adaptation algorithm and its tuning is currently preliminary. I cannot post performance numbers at this point. The user can also tune this by setting the mutex type and environment variables. The lock transactions have a abort hook mechanism to hook into the abort path. This is quite useful for some debugging, so I kept this functionality. The mutexes can be configured at runtime with the PTHREAD_MUTEX environment variable. This will force a specific lock type for all mutexes in the program that do not have another type set explicitly. This can be done without modifying the program. Currently elision is enabled by default on systems that support RTM, unless explicitely disabled either in the program or by the user. Given more experience we can decide if that is a good idea, or if it should be opt-in. Limitations that may be fixable (but it's unclear if it's worth it): ------------------------------------------------------------------- - Adaptive enabled mutexes don't track the owner, so pthread_mutex_destroy will not detect a busy mutex. - Trylock on a already guaranteed to be locked lock will succeed - Unlocking an unlocked mutex will result in a crash currently (see above) - No elision support for recursive, error check mutexes Recursive may be possible, error check is unlikely - Some obscure cases can also fallback to non elision - Internal locks in glibc (like malloc or stdio) do not elide at this point. Changing these semantics would be possible, but has some runtime cost. Currently I decided to not do any expensive changes, but wait for more testing feedback. To be fixed: ------------ - The default tuning parameters may be revised.
