There may be fewer registrants but * the intial number is still pretty impressive * we're still 7 months out! * you'll have far fewer drops this year since there's a financial commitment attached to an RSVP Last year the $20 fee to reserve a place meant thatt things ostensibly 'filled up' and then folks who wanted in later couldn't do it. This year is a definite improvement I'd think.
Last year's event was great. Regardless of the minor hiccups that occurred (many of which are likely to occur anytime an initial event of this size is put together by volunteers), everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The organizers and presenters did a fantastic job. I'm registered and booked for this year. Looking forward to seeing friends and making new ones .
I learned a lot last year, and met some nice people. Might have to skip the Halloween Party I usually go to on Saturday Night. No I am not packing my costume .
I registered and paid, however I have the following problem: Where can I find a list of the seminars I chose during registration - I cant remember my choice. Where can I look it up ? Thanks.
I can't remember either! I jotted them down on a piece of paper but of course can't find it now (which isn't unusual for me!) The confirmation email doesn't have the info
Go to Eventbrite.com. Log in with your email and password. Click on Chicago Seminars 2011. Then click on Manage Orders. You'll find everything that you registered for.
Really, it's there. You may have come to a screen and you may have clicked on "Chicago Seminars 2011". You don't want to click "Chicago Seminars 2011". Instead try clicking "Manage order". Hope this helps.
That indeed does the trick! The "Manage Order" link is just underneath the "Chicago Seminars 2011" title. It's in light grey font so at first I didn't notice it either, especially as it's right beside a bright blue link for "Event details" Thanks!
Is there any way to monitor the host hotel for a cancellation so you can switch you room reservation to them?
I am looking at the SPG hotels in that area, thinking C+P is good value compared to $99+ at overflow hotel. Aloft ORD, Sheraton Elk Grove, and Four Points are 1600 pts+ $30. edit: I booked Courtyard about .7 mile up the road for 7500 Marriott Points each night.... I'll be registering as soon as my TPAC flights get set.
No worries. Just haven't seen him around in a while either. I am sure you all will make the most of it. Enjoy. (and dang, this cat on my arm? geesh )
You over-quoted, J-Mom! Sounds like a fun seminar.. Maybe next year or this year when I get extra VDBs..
Just registered. Moving back to Chicago in a couple of weeks --- excited to be able to attend this year! If you're still looking for volunteers, I'd be happy to help out with registrations or whatever else needs done.
Low priority question. Is there a way for me to check which of the seminars I registered to? I just looked at my order confirmation from early April and the ticket doesn't show the seminars. Clearly, the only difference is knowing now as compared to having a nice surprise when I show up in October. Thanks, Sagy
1. Where can I find a synopsis or brief description of each of the sessions? 2. If I register for a session that I later change my mind about, can I switch to a different one?

Iran to Send Observation Satellite into Orbit in Days
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran is readying to launch an experimental observation satellite later this month, Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said.
Vahidi had earlier informed that Iran intends to send Fajr satellite into orbit in the near future, and he told reporters on Monday that the satellite would launch in less than two weeks now. "The Fajr satellite will be launched on Khordad 3 (May 23)," the director of the Aerospace Industries Mehdi Farahi said. It will be the fourth satellite sent into space since 2009 by Iran. The UN Security Council has imposed on Iran an almost total embargo on space technologies since 2007. The Fajr (Dawn) satellite was presented by the Iranian officials as "an observation and measurement" satellite weighing 50 kilos (110 pounds), built by Sa-Iran, a company affiliated to the defense ministry. Fajr, which is equipped with solar panels, has an expected life of 18 months, longer than the three previous observation equipment or experimental communications satellite already put into orbit by Iran. Iran has so far launched Omid in February 2009, Rassad in June 2011 and Navid in February 2012. Farahi said that Fajr would be launched by Safir-B1 rocket which is able to place a load of 50 kilos on a low orbit of 300 to 450 kilometers (186-279 miles). Iran has an ambitious space program. Two week ago, the country announced that it would send more living creatures into the space by the next three months. "Given the good support that has been offered by the government, we will have a program for sending living creatures into space," Head of the Iranian Space Agency Hamid Fazeli said. "The preliminary steps have already been taken and the living creatures will be sent into the space by the next two or three months," Fazeli added. He further announced that Iran will send Fajr (Dawn), Tolou (Sunrise) and Elm-o Sana'at (Promise of Science and Industry) satellites into orbit this year. Iran has already sent small animals into space - a rat, turtles and worms - aboard a capsule carried by its Kavoshgar-3 rocket in 2010. The Islamic republic, which first put a satellite into orbit in 2009, has outlined an ambitious, but fully home-grown, space program and has, thus far, made giant progress in the field despite western sanctions and pressures against its advancement.

The Optimist Creed
Promise Yourself-
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
I had the opportunity to share the Centennial Circle of Honor project with a great group of Plainviewans today at lunch. If you are looking for a place to "belong", this is a great place to land! For as long as I can remember this group has supported Plainview baseball and in the last few years they have added softball. What a wonderful opportunity for our kids. Go visit them; Tuesdays at noon at the Cotton Patch.

Patron: His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales
The UKSL & Grand Prix season is now in full swing. See the dates and DZs on the UKSL & Grand Prix page. Check out the BPA competitions skills coaching roadshow dates in the diary of events to hone your skills! (NB: The Camera Roadshow at Hib will be on 22-23 June, not July as stated in error in the BPA e-Newsletter for May.) Later in the season, we've got the Nationals to look forward to. And internationally, it's Skydiving World Cup year.
Enter the world of skydiving competitions - start from our competitions homepage!
The BPA Skydive Starter Mag is a mine of information, updated for the 2013-4 season, about our exciting, exhilarating and empowering sport. It's designed to help open up the world of skydiving to those who have made a first jump and can't wait to do more! Read the Skydive Starter Mag online. You can jump at BPA Affiliated Clubs & Centres throughout the UK.
We've all heard moans about poor service. But we also know there are many examples of fantastic service within our sport. And we believe it's time for them to be recognised! That's why we're asking BPA A licence holders and above to tell us about great service you've received from another BPA member... to tell us if you've spotted a BPA Star ! The closing date for this year's nominations is Monday 4 November 2013.
Jeff Montgomery has been appointed BPA Safety & Technical Officer to succeed John Hitchen, National Coach & Safety Officer, who has announced his retirement. It is planned for Jeff Montgomery formally to succeed John Hitchen on 1 October 2013. He will, however, participate in a transition period shadowing John Hitchen at various courses, meetings and events during the period between now and then.
There has emerged a need better to reflect the seniority of the longstanding job description of Tony Butler's post with the job title of that post. Therefore, Tony Butler's job title is changed from BPA Technical Officer to BPA Chief Operating Officer.
Jeff Montgomery joined the Army in 1991 and was introduced to sport parachuting in 1997 in Canada. He completed his AFF in 1998 in Empuriabrava, Spain, and started a full-time career as a sport parachutist having joined the Silver Stars Parachute Display Team later in 1998. He served with the Silver Stars for a period of more than four years, during which he obtained his Category System Instructor rating and was awarded BPA Instructor of the Year in 2000.
He joined the Royal Artillery Parachute Display Team in 2003 and gained further qualifications of Tandem Instructor and AFF instructor. He moved on to the military instructing circuit and to the Services Parachute Centre in Ballykelly, Northern Ireland, in 2005. He served there as full-time instructor for two years and gained his Advanced Instructor rating. In 2007 he moved to Cyprus and became a full-time instructor at the Combined Services Parachute Centre where he achieved his Instructor Examiner rating.
Having met his long-term girlfriend skydiving, they married in 2008 and returned to the UK to take a place at the Joint Services Parachute Centre Netheravon at the end of 2009. In 2011 he was appointed Centre Chief Instructor for the Silver Stars Parachute Centre, and he became a proud father in 2012.
Jeff said "I look forward to this new and exciting opportunity to contribute to the mentoring and development of parachutists and future instructors. I should also like to pay my respects to John Hitchen who has made such a major and sustained contribution to our sport, and who will be a hard act to follow."

More news on BPA AGM 2013
BPA member Ian Rosenvinge put two ordinary resolutions to the AGM. Ordinary resolutions require a simple majority to carry. Ian's first resolution carried. His second resolution did not carry - by 6 votes.
Ian Rosenvinge's Resolution 1
Right to Address Council/Committee/Sub-Committee - Amendment/Clarification Chairman's Discretion
It is my understanding that our right as members to speak at a BPA convened meeting is at the Chairman's Discretion. I put it to the BPA Membership that such Discretion is not for the Chairman to deny any the right to speak, but rather as a matter of procedure to choose the moment and order in which those who wish to speak may speak, only curtailing contribution(s) when it becomes apparent that the same point or argument is being repeated by different speakers. Further, that where individuals are, or have been, denied the right to speak and Council, Committee or Sub-Committee have subsequently then taken action, be it due to discipline, a breach or change of regulation(s), and which has then resulted in the curtailment of an individual's activities, such as through the loss or non-renewal of a rating, that such individuals then have the right of Appeal to a Tribunal.
The vote was - For: 190 Against: 149 Abstain: 23 Carried
Ian Rosenvinge's Resolution 2
Election/Re-election of BPA Council/Committee/Sub-Committee Chairpersons - Clarification of Procedure
I put to the BPA Membership that it should be proper procedure for BPA Council, its Committees and Sub-Committees to vote to appoint or re-appoint their Chairpersons annually, normally as the first item on the Agenda at their first meeting after the BPA AGM. My understanding is that this is the accepted practice at BPA Council and at some BPA Committees but that where such a practice has not been followed at other Committees/Sub-Committees then it should now be so forthwith.
The vote was - For: 161 Against: 167 Abstain: 34 Not carried
Total number of voting papers (proxy and ballot): 362. Ian was present at the count.

FIRST GROW - CFL - Bagseed
, 06-28-2011 at 04:14 PM (1415 Views)
Good day to all! New grower here, & newbie at Rollitup. I'm a marijuana loving, & economically troubled college student. Lol. & I've thought about growing for a long time but finally have a good space of my own to grow in. I'm going to try to grow 2 plants hoping that one, maybe both are female. Although I'm really only trying to focus on one plant reaching maturity to where i can get buds.
Currently I have 1 germinated seed in FOX FARM soil inside a cup under a 20w soft white CFL. It has not yet sprouted since I just planted it last night. I've read posts by people who have grown 1 full plant from start to finish with only a 13w CFL so it makes me feel better that i have an additional 42w CFL ready to light up my 2 babies. Bringing total wattage to 62w.
On my next paycheck i'll probably look into getting a few more bulbs with more of a blue spectrum for vegging.
Anyways, Just introducing myself to the community.. I'll post pics when i start to see green
Now, to roll one up..

South Dakota (SD) NRCS is seeking pre-proposals for the state-level CIG program that demonstrate the use of innovative technologies and/or approaches in nutrient management, soil health, or water quality. The allocation of $150,000 has been set aside for this state-level program, with a maximum grant award of $75,000 per project. Pre-proposals are due in the SD NRCS State Office by 4 p.m. Central Daylight Time (CDT) on May 17, 2013.
April 28-May 5, 2013 is Soil and Water Stewardship Week. Did you know American agriculture not only provides you food and clothing, but also helps meet needs around the world? Plus, American agriculture is not just producing more food; it's producing higher quality in an environmentally sustainable way.
Last year in South Dakota, more than 4,700 conservation plans were voluntarily applied on farms and ranches across the state. That means over 1.7 million acres of agricultural land was made more healthy and productive. Take a moment to say "good job" to a farmer or rancher during Soil and Water Stewardship Week April 28-May 5, 2013.
South Dakota farmers are on a Health Kick! Soil Health is soil managed to its maximum potential through a system of conservation practices, including never-till, cover crops, advanced nutrient and pest management, and buffers and drainage systems where appropriate. This approach results in healthy soil that reduces erosion, requires less nutrient inputs, manages the effects of flood and drought, and reduces nutrient and sediment loading to streams and rivers.
Or check out a National NRCS Soil Health component by clicking on one of the pictures.

Jeffrey Zimprich, State Conservationist, of USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service, Huron, says field offices around the state are ready to provide information and assistance to farmers hit hard by the drought. NRCS administers a number of Farm Bill programs that provide technical and financial assistance to farmers and ranchers to install conservation practices.
Zimprich said, "The prolonged and extreme heat temperatures coupled with lack of rain is creating situations in some areas of South Dakota where some producers may be forced to make critical changes to their operation." The South Dakota Governor's Drought Task Force web site is an excellent resource: http://drought.sd.gov/. NRCS is also encouraging producers seeking advice to contact their district conservationist at the local field office.

Farmers and ranchers who believe they suffered discrimination when applying for a farm loan have the opportunity to receive compensation. Up to $50,000 is available to those who can demonstrate denial of a loan or loan servicing.

Proposed Annexation of Memorial Park by TIRZ 16
Great news friends of Memorial Park Conservancy! Thursday, April 11 was an exciting day for the park and the Conservancy. Mayor Annise Parker announced the proposed annexation of Memorial Park by TIRZ 16, which could mean great things for Memorial Park and all those who enjoy it every day.
Description of Proposal
Thursday April 11, 2013 was an important day for Memorial Park. Mayor Annise Parker proposed an unprecedented partnership between the City of Houston and the Houston Parks and Recreation Department, the Uptown TIRZ (TIRZ 16), and Memorial Park Conservancy that will expand the footprint of the Uptown TIRZ to include Memorial Park. Click here to learn more:http://www.houstongovnewsroom.org/go/doc/2155/1745311/.
Areas of Focus
By expanding its footprint to include Memorial Park, TIRZ 16 will be able to contribute approximately $100M in funding to Memorial Park over the next 20 years to help with improvements such as site remediation, erosion control, removal of invasive non-native plants and the reestablishment of native grasslands and forests. The connection of Uptown to Downtown with a greenbelt including Memorial Park is also a high priority expressed by the Mayor, City Council members who were present, the Uptown TIRZ, MPC and the Houston Parks Board. This is important because it would connect Memorial Park to the 150-mile Bayou Greenways trail system. This trail system will ensure that 60% of Houston residents will live within 1.5 miles of a trail and have greater access to all parks and green spaces, including Memorial Park.
The Mayor was very explicit that this is not an effort to commercialize Memorial Park, and that commercialization of Memorial Park will not happen.
MPC's Role, Your Role
We will start with a master planning process that will include an extensive public and stakeholder input process.
MPC is a leader and partner in this process. We will participate in the master planning process; represent public and stakeholder groups during the design phase; and raise private and foundation funds to help execute and augment the funding from TIRZ 16.
We will be asking for your help with volunteering, raising funds and contributing your ideas in the days, months... and years to come.
Don't forget to sign up for our newsletter and "like" us on Facebook for updates and information!
Thank you for all that you do for Memorial Park!

Larger Scale Taxi Service
Finding a Taxi if you are in a wheelchair can be difficult enough. What if you have multiple people in your party who happen to be in wheel chairs? One thing we know that that the average person in a wheel chair ends up marrying someone else in a wheel chair at least four times as likely as someone without a disability.
Other than that, when you are living in New York, running a business does mean take Taxi's from time to time. My gift basket business means that sometimes I need to take a Taxi from place to place in order to make sure that things are delivered on time.
Fitting everything for my work into a Taxi is sometimes just as hard as fitting in multiple wheel chairs, if a Taxi company is ever even willing to give it a try.

About Gekkeiju Online: The Beginning with 2 comments by Suvidriel on May 3rd, 2013
Greetings readers! With the start of May it's time to post a little update about the project.
Since the previous monthly update there has been lots of new things added and worked on.
The most important thing that actually happened only few days after the last update was the release of Oculus Rift SDK to public. After that I've been really busy getting Gekkeiju to work with it.
So far the results have been quite good. Gekkeiju supports the Rift's rendering already but some parts need to be worked out and adjusted as soon as I'll get the actual device. Head tracking will also have to wait until then.
The Rift-mode also includes (at least for now) a "Dive in"-effect similar to those seen in some Virtual Reality-related anime series. The effect can be seen in action in the latest gameplay trailer:
With the addition of the Rift-mode it became a necessity to have a first person mode (camera inside player's head). This was added and so far the results are quite good. The first person mode seems to work the best with a gamepad and the Rift-mode active.
The main problem is that the first person mode uses the same third person models so sometimes the hands and weapons collide with the camera or block the view.
It's been a while since the characters got a new outfit model. This time the addition was a simple long coat. The model is now being used for example with the Imperial Legion-faction's outfit. Another addition was the elven katana which was one of the winners of our past weapon design-competition.
Last but not least was the addition of Ranger character class.
Rangers are a class geared towards dealing massive amounts of ranged damage. The class is able to use all bows and also dual wield swords, daggers and axes.
Rangers have a focus-combo system for combat. This means that by using certain skills the Ranger will gain focus points. As the points increase, more powerful skills become available. The difference to the usual combo-systems is that the points only reset when the Ranger moves around - so not when the combat ends.
With the summer nearing, it'll be likely that the updates won't be as frequent. However, there are still plenty of things on my TODO-list before the next Public Test day (probably in July) can be organized.
The Oculus Rift-mode will be finished as soon as I get my hands on the development kit. However, this may take several more months.
Other required additions include more skills for Ronins and Rangers since both currently have only 3 skills. The plan is that players will be able to learn new skills every 2-3 levels at least until level 40 or 45.
Eventually I'll also need to implement indoor maps for the game. This will require building a new map editor first since the current one only works with outdoors. In the past Gekkeiju has always used bsp maps which contain precalculated lights. However, I'm hoping on building an editor that allows building the indoors from several pieces similar to how, for example, Skyrim works. This would allow better reusability of resources. However, the indoor-support is not the top priority yet and may not be that until some more months.
Thank you for your time and stay tuned for the next updates!

Superbad. Superdad.
In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru (voiced by The Office star Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon (Yes, the moon!).
Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad.
Gee. It seems the world's greatest villain has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.
Just listing a few of the voice talents behind the mayhem brings a smile. Laugh along as Carrel and his screen cohorts including the legendary Julie Andrews, Jason Segel (Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Russell Brand (Get Him to the Greek), Will Arnett (When in Rome), Kristen Wiig (MacGruber), and more deliver big.
A must see and a must own!

Fresh: It is a perfectly agreeable family entertainment, but not exactly original and nowhere near Pixar's great creations.
-Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK], October 14, 2010Fresh: When an actor has just hit a career low -- as I think Steve Carell did in the desperate Dinner for Schmucks -- it's a relief to see them bounce back with a performance that clicks, in a hit film that really needs their services.
-Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph, October 14, 2010Fresh: It's no first-rank CGI cartoon, but shows how Pixar's quality over crass is inspiring the mid-list.
-Kim Newman, Empire Magazine, October 13, 2010Fresh: One of the year's most likeable family entertainments.
-Tom Huddleston, Time Out, October 13, 2010 I really loved it, especially the minions!!!

There, I said it. Cause Ive been thinking about it for 4 years in Colorado, and I think it has a certain edgy ring to it for this blog.
Dont get me wrong Im not some state socialist who thinks that local people are dumb or unable to do some valuable things with and in their schools and districts.
So, what do I mean? Most American states are not local control states on education (only 6 to 8 fall into that category). That means the state has more influence over curriculum, buildings, and other school features than
Few states want to dictate all aspects of education to their localities, but at least in those other 43 states there is not a built-in hostility to forward-looking state level initiatives. Most other states demonstrate that you can have less local control and survive, and more likely, in my view, thrive.
Lets look at one recent example – the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) proposal to enhance high school graduation requirements to include 3 or 4 years of math and science, or the governors somewhat similar idea to have a state level diploma with higher standards.
It seems ridiculous in 2007 that this cant be moved forward because of local control concerns. Local districts can do this, and if the state doesnt set the bar at a reasonable level, few rise up to it so, just offer the classes, team up with other nearby districts, get on-line dont just whine.
More generally, and more soberly, I want to explain why I think local control is harming, not helping,
Overall, the concept of district level democracy is largely a sham. There are 15,000 local school districts in the
Some critics go so far as to paint a picture where teachers unions find and back candidates, give them votes and money, and then the board is dominated by union supporters, so that labor negotiations take place between the union and, um, the board members who were elected by the union.
This is perhaps unfair, but it is equally true for any other special interest with a strong axe to grind e.g., fundamentalist groups that want to ban the teaching of evolution can and have taken over local school districts. Do we really want less than 10% of eligible voters putting potentially extreme candidates on school boards, giving them virtual carte blanche over these types of issues?
There is a local alternative mayoral control. A recent book by Ken Wong and colleagues, for example, shows positive results from mayoral control in many large cities around the
But I digress. In parallel, if we do move more control over education to the state level, at least there it would be in the hands of officials with enough voters who have weighed in, to get a reasonable sense of state proportionality.
So, politically asymmetric local control is one concern. A second is that the local control concept suggests some sort of matching of the delivery (and in days past, funding) of education to the students who get its lifelong benefits. But in 2007
How many of you now live in the district where you attended school? Few, I suspect. Most people leave the school district in which they were educated so the public good aspect of education, that others benefit from your education, is diffused widely why should we give local district authority over what to teach you, when you will move somewhere else anyway?
Reason three many districts are simply too small to be effective. Though the number has come down a lot over time,
Reason four local control leads to lowest common denominator actions. You hear anecdotes like students in rural community X plan to go work on the farm, so why do they need 4 years of math? Well, #1 modern agricultural workers do need math, and #2, only 2% of American workers are in agriculture we can surely aim for the 98% who arent. The recent Kaufman Foundation funded study of parents in
Reason five the state coffers contribute a lot more money than the local ones. This is now up to 66% from the state in
Reason six while conservatives sometime spout local control as a mantra, to avoid far away big government, I think they have it wrong in education. True conservatives should focus upon the school level and the parents/family level, not the district, as the loci of decentralization in education. Schools could be established, monitored and overseen by charter boards, or as they are now, or by districts, or even by the state. They could still retain lots of authority and flexibility, in return for an agreement to provide a level of achievement for their students. Though we often think of them as the key local institutions, districts are not necessarily the right focus for those who support education decentralization.
Enough reasons, lets get back to some other examples. Whatever people thoughts about Tough Choices or Tough Times report, it focused heavily on changes at the state level. It wants teachers actually hired by states, not districts, for example. States would have to change their grades 10-12 to fund more pre-school. It is ironic, in my view, that Tuckers ideas apparently struck a bigger chord in Colorado than in most states, since we are a local control state, and would have lots of problems even thinking about how to implement many of his proposals.
The voucher pilot program, approved by the legislature in 2003, was stopped by a judge, based upon local control concerns.
Do we really think the P-20 Council can make all of the hoped-for progress, when there are 178 different K-12 systems t
hat want to maintain grasp of local control?
Will we ever get decent capital facilities (e.g., school buildings) without any state rules or guidelines about what safe school buildings need to look like?
So, what would I suggest? Relax the perceived constraints of local control. Let state legislators and officials push for higher standards and more uniformity, in some cases. In the longer run, encourage more consolidation of districts, encourage more re-thinking of the benefits/costs of local control, and look at how the funding patterns are changing.
What do I think will actually happen in this regard? Not so much. Minimal pushes in this direction are likely to be blocked politically by CEA, CASE, CASB, and many officials who drink the local control Kool-aid. And, I know, local control is indeed in the state constitution. So is TABOR. Though not easy, these things can be amended. But I dont see it happening soon.
So Ill just keep muttering that local control sucks.

What do you think?
If President Barack Obama wins re-election, it won't be because he ran on his stellar stewardship of our glowing economy. For Obama to win, he needs a way to convince voters that the alternative, Republican Mitt Romney, would be worse.
And Romney aided Obama's cause with his selection of Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as a running mate. Until now, Romney's been short on specifics and has changed his positions constantly. He's been evasive and tough for Obama to pin down. Not any longer.
Paul Ryan's infamous budget plan gives Obama a fat, juicy target. It gives Obama a way to crystalize his Romney's-only-for-the-rich message. Ryan's plan would deep- six health care reform and dramatically alter Medicare and Medicaid while cutting taxes for the rich and for corporations, according to media reports.
Obama couldn't have asked for a better running mate for Romney.

Posted by Boris Evelson on July 16, 2010
I get many questions on this subject and it often turns into almost a religious debate. Let's throw some structure into it. Here's a decision-to-raw-data stack.
Obviously, it's never a clear-cut, binary decision, but in my humble opinion:
What did I miss? Thoughts?
At the highest levels where it matters most, which is evident in the genius of the U.S. Constitution, IP law and others, the discussion should begin with the individual's ownership of knowledge, which is only then converted to data when he/she is compelled to share.
Illegal torture techniques notwithstanding, intellectual contributions are voluntary, and motivation to share supersedes even contractual law, which the minority who retain the most intellectual horsepower are fully aware, so the continual corporate ownership of data with value depends largely upon motivation, incentives, and alignment of interest.
What so many of our friends in the legal and competitive intel career paths often forget, not to mention a fair portion of corp execs, is that the vast majority of good data they are consuming represents the past. Indeed many if not most of their corp structures are designed to protect the past, rather than optimize the future.
That said, IT doesn't own data -- the corporation does. Many IT professionals are confused about this relationship (with notable exceptions in CIO business leadership), and their place in the organization -- the resulting turf protection and petty internal power battles so common in large organizations do tremendous harm, create data silos, and enable systemic crises.
One important reason so many business decision makers are circumventing what has too often become a commodity infrastructure, instead of an opportunity to optimize human capital. The latter is also a problem with many enterprise SW vendors. Pretty easy to forget that the quality of the data being visualized depends almost entirely on the quality of the humans responsible for it. .02-MM
Of course, the corporation owns its data. My question is who governs and controls it.
Well actually in the subject line the question is:
Where do you draw the lines between business and IT ownership of data and information?
Now I realize that this represents commonly understood jargon in large mainly for profit public corporations, but that only serves to make my point about the confusion in the culture. That is, business and IT represent two different departmental units and function, but shouldn't when the topic is "ownership" of data. Note you did not say control in the question, which are two very different issues even if again they shouldn't be-- turf battles have killed many people and resulted in trillions of dollars in losses.
In for profit companies, the business leader should be and often is the CEO representing the corporation, and as the charge of the board has ownership and should have control of all data. IT's job is to serve the mission of the board, which includes protecting the data-- and that presumes control, but is quite often misinterpreted in my experience more often than not to be "power over" or "ownership"-- the latter of which is abused at the highest levels of the IT industry apparently in an attempt to motivate and hold accountable, but it is nonetheless improper, creates confusion, often with catastrophic results.
To me, the point is that the lines are moving towards larger ownership of the business, while IT's mission is to facilitate this movement. It is a bit like the principle of black belts (the full time experts) and green belts (the business user) in six sigma : the higher the number in your list, the less the business is mature to become as a green belt, but the maturity is evolving. And IT has to drive this learning curve.
As an example, I believe that business would like to own point 10 and in fact, some business people reached the right maturity level to do that. Typically, we see that in controlling where businesses wants to be autonomous to manage for example charts of accounts , including their reconciliation in case of heterogeneous processes and systems. And IT should empower them with proper EPM systems and Analytical MDM systems to to that by their own. Some business domains are much less mature.
In the case of point 13, I feel that some business users, or at least some "power users" working at the lines of business, are eager to build "ad hoc data marts", just like you can see in retail, where the responsibility of replenishing the shops or the shelves can be shifted to local teams.
While I am sympathetic to the distinction that you are drawing, I think that the answer is that only 14 is data owned by IT. The question that I think is worth asking is "who is the data for?" Operational data is for IT - in relation to that data IT is the business! But for all of the rest, it seems to me that the business is - in a strong sense - the owner.
Boris, fascinating angle from a legal perspective in regards to ownership. I believe the real challenge lies in how we can make BI more effective by clearly defining roles and responsibilities between the BI development and support community and line of business (LOB) users. It raises other questions, such as: How much control and oversight does IT need to enforce and assure overall data quality, governance and security? How should that be implemented, and by who?
It may help to put some context around "data and information." Let's assume we can narrow the scope to BI business and performance data, which only slightly reduces the breadth of the problem for CIO's and their organizations. Today's IT organizations are challenged with providing data and information so every department can run efficiently, while at the same time, they're held responsible if the data they make available is compromised or misused. No wonder many would rather just lock down all data access through information prohibition. But that didn't work with the 18th Amendment and certainly isn't going to work for information today.
What we have seen as best practices in our customer base is where transactional output and operational Data Store data is validated, reconciled and maintained by the IT organization. That data is then provided to LOB managers under application and direct access security. That security is a shared responsibility between the LOB departments and their IT support groups.
The LOB users then have the ability to create new reports, charts, calculated fields and "dimensional" views of the data. The most successful approach appears to be when greater self service is provided to the LOB community without compromising the integrity, lineage and security of the source data.

19 Hershey Kiss Rose Tutorial
December 28, 2009
Hey creative people! I had a wonderful break for Christmas. Got lots of nice things, including a new 60GB internal memory camcorder and a CRICUT!!! Oh... and a huge cake decorating kit - now I just need to find a class in my area! Santa was VERY nice to the people in my house...
Now onto the Rose tutorial -
I made a bunch of these as favors for my sister-in-laws bridal shower over 5.5 years ago! They were a big hit and looked so nice in a vase. I thought it would be a fun little tutorial to share with all of you. Perfect for the Holidays, probably better for Valentines Day, but hey - I want to share now AND this is a great time to find red Hershey Kisses!
Plastic Wrap
Florist Wire or stem
Floral Stem Tape
Hershey Kisses
Optional fake leaf
1. Wrap the stem or wire in floral tape up to about a half inch from the end. I used an inexpensive stem from the floral supplies in Joann's for this tutorial, but when you are making a bunch of these you probably want to use a sturdy wire.
2. Put the two Hershey kisses butts together. Wrap them in the plastic wrap (if you can't find red hershey kisses you can always wrap them in red plastic wrap), twist the wrap and pinch.
3. Place the hershey kisses onto the stem (the stem should go up 1/2 the bottom kiss about 1/2 way). Wrap the plastic wrap around the stem and then start wrapping the floral tape around the plastic wrap and 3/4 up the bottom kiss, pinching the tape as you go. Go back down the stem to secure it. (Just a note - you can start by wrapping the kiss to the stem and work your way to the bottom of the stem).
4. I didn't take a picture of adding the leaf - but you can do it as you wrap the stem, or afterwards just take a small length of the tape, place the fake leafs stem against the rose stem and wrap the tape around both.
Happy crafting!

Kakac, MD
Kyle Kakac, MD, DABFP
Dr. Kakac earned his Medical Degree from the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Rockford in 2001. He completed his family medicine residency at St. Mary's Medical Center in Evansville, IN. Before coming back home to practice medicine he has worked in emergency medicine at some southern Illinois hospitals including Good Samaritan Hospital in Mt. Vernon and Memorial Hospital of Carbondale. Other hospital emergency departments at which he as been employed include St. Mary's Warrick Hospital; Boonville, IN; Harrison County Hospital, Corydon, IN; Kremmling Memorial Hospital, Kremmling, CO; 7 Mile Medical Center, Winter Park, CO.
Dr. Kakac was born and raised in Fairfield and is excited to return to his hometown to practice family medicine. He has interests in rural medicine, emergent care, public health, and taking care of residents in underserved areas. Dr. Kakac cares for infants through mature adults.
"I am excited about moving back to Wayne County. I have been fortunate to have lived, worked, and traveled to a variety of places. However, I am so glad to be back in Southern Illinois, especially Fairfield where I grew up and have so many fond memories. I can think of no better place to live, especially with so many friends and family in the area," said Dr. Kakac.
"It is with great pleasure that we add Dr. Kakac to Horizon Healthcare and Fairfield Memorial Hospital. I have known and trained alongside Dr. Kakac for a number of years. As a Fairfield native, he will bring continued compassion and expertise to our medical staff," said Dr. Wesley Thompson.
Kyle Kakac, M.D., makes his home in Fairfield with wife, Amanda, daughter, Caroline, and son, Beau. Dr. Kakac is the son of Rev. Carroll and Karen Kakac, and the brother of Kevin Kakac, former Wayne County States Attorney, and Kim Skaggs, RN, Wayne County Health Department WIC Coordinator, who both currently reside in Fairfield with their families.

Suggestions (#3) - connect many wii remotes to daemon (#51) - Message List
Hey dsmith,
Thanks for daemon mode! Would it be possible to add multiple Wii Remote support to wminput? I have a small script that fires up wminput -d and mythfrontend at the same time, but I would like be able to connect a second, third, and even fourth Wii Remote for when we play games in mythfrontend (mythgame).
Thanks, spiderworm
Message #251
I'd like to get there eventually, but that would take more time than I can spare right now. Have you tried running multiple concurrent instances of wminput?
dsmith09/24/07 20:38:04 (6 years ago) -
Message #252
When I try running multiple concurrent instances, one of them works, connecting one wii remote, and the other fails out with errors, for example:

Ah..sounds like Linux won't let multiple devices fight over the cursor. You may take a look at using different axes (and different configs), or see if there's some other way to separate the axes.
dsmith09/25/07 00:28:51 (6 years ago) -
Message #24369
I just tried playing around with this a little. I can connect 2 wiimotes at one time with a bluetooth 1.2 dongle, but not a bluetooth 2.0 dongle. To get more than one wiimote to connect, I have to run wminput, connect the first wiimote, then run wminput and connect the other wiimote. running both wminput instances at one time doesn't work. connecting the second wiimote takes a few tries usually. This doesn't work while running wminput with the -d switch.
In other words, it's picky, finicky, and only works occasionally with certain bluetooth dongles at the moment.

Message #24393
This isn't the problem. I can have 3 mice plugged in and (when it works) 2 wiimotes connected and it works. It's something specifically with cwiid and/or bluez.

It sounds really good Angus, however you might have better luck getting comments on it in the music dissection part of this forum.
Hi All,
I'm new to forum. Here's a piece of mine for Baritone and Piano. Written a while back when I was 17, so go easy on me! :)
Greetings Vasiliki
Hi everyone!!
Hi, I'm happy to join this group.
a work o' mine
Feedback to Jan Kuhr on composition.
Great instrument sounds. I must be honest I am not YET a fan of contemporary / 21st Century music so did not quite relate to it Jan but great sounds - sounded real - maybe it was?
My tastes go as far as around the 1950's. After this I havent quite developed my tastes as yet.
Hi all
Just decided to join your group.
I have just uploaded my first composition - Piano Concerto No 1 - 3 movements. Would appreciate any feedback from anyone as I am new member.
I just uploaded a piece of mine on my page hope to get some feed back.
More music is on my webpage www.jan-kuhr.com soon music from my webpage will be available here.
Well here is one place you can find competitions:
You can also find professional composer organizations such as the following:
Also listen to the podcast "My Ears are Open" which a link can be found right above the comment section in this group. They have great advice on how to get works performed straight from the performers mouth.
