rape incident.
Hmm...there are american troops stationed in my city, too. When I leave the house and walk for less than 10 minutes, I'm standing in front of the gates of one of the bases. I can't remember an incident like you mentioned. But some american teenagers, who came here with their parents, stood on a bridge and threw stones on some cars driving underneath. That was some years ago. Except for that, the soldiers and their families are pretty nice people!
I just wanted to tell a droll story out of my life. Thanks for reading.

Chef Cooks Up Hoax
By THE NEW YORK TIMES
The celebrity chef, author and aspiring St. Petersburg, Fla., restaurateur Robert Irvine will be replaced by the Food Network as host of Dinner Impossible after admitting to inaccuracies in a résumé that included a British knighthood, ownership of a castle in Scotland, friendship with Prince Charles and cooking for four United States presidents, the BBC reported. The British-born Mr. Irvine, 42, who also said he had helped to make the wedding cake for Prince Charles and Lady Diana, told The St. Petersburg Times that he had fabricated parts of his history because he felt pressure to keep up with the Joneses and that he was truly sorry. Mr. Irvine, the author of an autobiography, Mission: Cook!, and the owner of a company that sells his own brand cookware, did work at the White House, but in the Navy Mess, not as a personal chef to a president. A spokesman for the Food Network said, We appreciate Roberts remorse about his actions, but added that for now we will be looking for a replacement host.
now this kind of saddens me, because i thought irvine was fun to watch - but i rather wondered about the claim of cooking for 4 u.s. presidents. but the thing that gets me is, that sort of thing should be easy to check, no? i mean, white house chefs write cookbooks and there are news stories when new ones are hired - how hard could this stuff have been to check out? and if the food network thinks this stuff is so important - why didn't they check it out?

When I saw the show title, "Dinner Impossible", I had to go check to make sure it wasn't what I was thinking of. I lack cable.. and nearly never watched the Food Network even when I did because I didn't like how hungry it always made me. :p But anyway, I guess I have to watch on March 15th, because my cousin's gonna be in an episode of "Rescue Chef".
Also, agreed. The Food Network is a large corporation at this point.. resume accuracy should be verified from the beginning. Sounds pretty darn sloppy all around.

NASA wary of relying on Russia
Moscow soon to be lone carrier of astronauts to the space station
By Marc Kaufman
The Washington Post
updated 2:29 a.m. ET, Fri., March. 7, 2008
Tomorrow night, a European spacecraft is scheduled to blast off from French Guiana on its maiden voyage to the international space station, giving NASA and the world a new way to reach the orbiting laboratory.
For NASA, however, the launch of the Jules Verne Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) also highlights a stark reality: In 2 1/2 years, just as the station gets fully assembled, the United States will no longer have any spacecraft of its own capable of carrying astronauts and cargo to the station, in which roughly $100 billion is being invested. The three space shuttles will be retired by then, because of their high cost and questionable safety, and NASA will have nothing ready to replace them until 2015 at the earliest.
For five years or more, the United States will be dependent on the technology of others to reach the station, which American taxpayers largely paid for. To complicate things further, the only nation now capable of flying humans to the station is Russia, giving it a strong bargaining position to decide what it wants to charge for the flights at a time when U.S.-Russian relations are becoming increasingly testy.
In addition, some fear the price will be paid not only in billions of dollars but also in lost American prestige and lost leverage on the Russians when it comes to issues such as aiding Iran with its nuclear program.
'Serious threat to our national security'
NASA Administrator Michael Griffin calls the situation his "greatest regret and greatest concern." For most of the five-year gap, he said, "we will be largely dependent on the Russians, and that is terrible place for the United States to be. I'm worried, and many others are worried."
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), chairman of the subcommittee that oversees NASA, went further. "This is a very serious betrayal of American interests," he said. "This will be the first time since Sputnik when the United States will not have a significant space superiority. I remain dumbfounded that we've allowed this serious threat to our national security to develop."
The White House, Congress and the space community have known for years that the gap was looming, but there were always other priorities.
Those most involved with the issue say that its seriousness will become more glaring this summer, when negotiations with Russia begin and Congress is likely to debate whether to grant a waiver to the law that prohibits certain kinds of commerce with nations that support the Iranian or North Korean nuclear program.
Griffin has testified that while the waiver is essential, it is "unseemly, simply unseemly, for the United States -- the world's leading power and leading space power -- to be reduced to purchasing services like this. It affects, in my view, how we are seen in the world, and not for the better."
Private spacecraft?
NASA's budget calls for spending $2.6 billion for transportation to the space station between fiscal 2009 and 2013. As it stands now, much of that would go to the Russians.
With that prospect ahead, Griffin told Nelson's committee last week that he is working with the fledgling private rocket company SpaceX to speed its efforts to build a private spacecraft that can take over some of the work of ferrying astronauts into space. Both Nelson and Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) had recommended that NASA formally push ahead with that effort.
But SpaceX, while eager to do the work, has not successfully orbited even a cargo spacecraft, let alone one designed to the much higher standards needed for human flight. Nonetheless, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said in a telephone interview that his company might have a manned spacecraft capability by the end of 2011 if NASA exercises its option under a 2006 agreement to provide cargo service. With that go-ahead, SpaceX would put its manned rocket program into high gear, he said.
"Is there a risk that we won't succeed? Yes, there is," said Musk, co-founder of the PayPal online payment system. "But if the United States doesn't provide any competition to the Russians, then they have a monopoly on crew transport to the station and they can dictate their terms. Do taxpayers really want all that money to go to Russia, rather than to an American company with American workers?"
In his testimony, Griffin said he is inclined to exercise the human spaceflight option, but he also said he very much doubts that SpaceX will have a spacecraft ready for astronauts by 2012.
'Starved for funds'
The gap in American capability to reach the space station is the result of factors including the 2003 breakup of the space shuttle Columbia, the subsequent decision to retire the three remaining shuttles by September 2010 and the lack of additional funds to quickly build a replacement.
NASA has let contracts to design and test a new-generation rocket and crew capsule, but it has had to go slowly because of the high cost of operating the shuttles, which are the only spacecraft able to carry large components to the still-incomplete space station. Griffin has testified that the replacement spacecraft could be ready in 2013 rather than 2015 if the agency had an additional $2 billion, but the administration has not asked for the funding.
Last year, the White House opposed a bill passed by the Senate to give NASA an additional $1 billion to make up for some of the costs incurred after Columbia broke apart -- a step similar to one taken after the Challenger disaster in 1986.
"What we have here is an agency that has been given a lot to do but has been starved for funds," Nelson said. "I think the gap is largely due to the administration's refusal to give NASA the funds it needs. And now we'll be forced to give billions to the Russians because we didn't spend millions before. It's the worst of all worlds."
Griffin, a strong advocate for manned spaceflight and a loyal member of the administration, said that past Congresses and administrations let the manned space program atrophy and that it took President Bush's 2004 "vision" for human travel to the moon and Mars to rejuvenate the program.
Still, many see Bush as having limited interest in space. Not only have NASA budgets remained tight, but Bush never visited the Johnson Space Center in Houston during his six years as governor of Texas, and as president he visited once, for a memorial service for the lost Columbia astronauts.
EU may provide counterbalance
The European spacecraft scheduled for launch tomorrow night is the first of six cargo-carrying flights by Arianespace, a public-private company, in exchange for NASA ferrying a large European lab to the station on the shuttle. Chairman and chief executive Jean-Yves Le Gall said in an interview last week that the company would like to play a larger role in supplying the space station, but it is waiting for its first successful launch before pressing its case.
The European Union is scheduled to decide in November whether to enter the field of human spaceflight, potentially joining the club that so far includes only the United States, Russia and China.
Le Gall acknowledged that the ATV -- which is the size of a London double-decker bus -- is now more expensive to build and operate than its Russian competitors, but he said that may change if Russia becomes the sole carrier. Nonetheless, the Europeans face a number of obstacles in selling their space transport services to NASA, including buy-American provisions that favor homegrown companies such as SpaceX.
"We believe we can be an important part of the solution for the space station and counterbalance to the Russians, if we are given a chance," Le Gall said.
Despite the broad concern over NASA's future dependence on Russia, Griffin said the agency's experience with its most important space station partner has been good. The Russians helped astronauts stranded on the space station after the Columbia breakup, and they have continued to provide crew and cargo transport services -- currently as part of a $780 million, multiyear contract.
Griffin also said a new deal with the Russians has to be signed by early next year. The Russians, he said, need a three-year lead time to build a sufficient quantity of their expendable, but very dependable, Soyuz and Progress spacecraft.
We're going to pay for 75% of this house! But its cool you guys, you can live in it! We'll just beg you for rides to it every now and then... v_v goddamnit.

that sounds like no interest at all, to me....yet one other area we are going to suffer in for the foreseeable future because of this incurious man.

For what? It's not important and never really was, except as a weapons demo. The nation that can shoot missiles further and more accurately is the one not to be fucked with.

if you take that viewpoint, most of science is pointless. i mean, what does it matter if we understand how the universe was formed, what the limits of life might be, how life itself works, the geological processes that formed our planet, how weather systems work?
curiosity is a human trait. why start insisting now that it has to have some immediate benefit?

Not to mention, it does have immediate benefits. It creates dreamers. Yes, thats "hippy-ish" sounding.. but after the trip to the moon.. it created a surge in people wanting to be astronauts, scientists, engineers! It spurs passion and imagination.

Epic failure... but then not surprising. Bush did some babbling about going to Mars a few years back to distract people and apparently it stuck. Despite the fact he has never pushed for giving NASA a real budget, much less the resources they would need to replace the shuttles (antiquated bastards they are) with something better.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the x-prize kinda prove that we don't have to sit on a bomb to get into space?
The older I get, the more certain I become of one thing. True and abiding cynicism is simply a form of cowardice.

CASTL Program - Liberal and Intentional Learning Concepts
A few years ago, in the Greater Expectations Report , an AAC&U task force looked at the needs of students and how the traditional approach of colleges and universities may not adequately serve the large numbers of people now pursuing higher education. Today, about 75% of high school graduates continue their studies and 90% of high school seniors say they expect to attend college. Some of the observations and conclusions noted in the report include the following.
- "As college education now becomes commonplace, all students must have the opportunity to achieve the most empowering forms of learning." (page 3)
- Today, more jobs require a college education, change is rapid and people need to be able to make informed decisions and employ creative and intellectual skills. (page 4)
- Universities need to educate students to become "intentional learners." "Becoming such an intentional learner means developing self-awareness about the reason for study, the learning process itself, and how education is used. Intentional learners are integrative thinkers who can see connections in seemingly disparate information and draw on a wide range of knowledge to make decisions. They adapt the skills learned in one situation to problems encountered in another: in a classroom, the workplace, their communities, or their personal lives. As a result, intentional learners succeed even when instability is the only constant." (pages 21-22)
- "Liberal education" can help students become intentional learners, but must be reinvigorated by making it practical and inclusive, such as by including a range of teaching strategies. The report defines liberal education as "a philosophy of education that empowers individuals, liberates the mind from ignorance, and cultivates social responsibility. Characterized by challenging encounters with important issues, and more a way of studying than specific content, liberal education can occur at all types of colleges and universities. 'General education' and an expectation of in-depth study in at least one field normally comprise liberal education." (page 25)

I. In Focus This Week
Census data brings bilingual elections to 25 states
New counties included, but overall number lower than in past
Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Yup'ik, Filipino, Japanese, Kickapoo, Navajo, Hopi, Yuma, Yaqui, Tonhono O'Odham, Pueblo, Inupait, Choctaw, Bengali, and Alaskan Athabascan.
Today there are dozens of languages other than English in which voting materials must be provided in half the states across the country.
While that may seem like a lot of languages in a lot of states, the new Census Bureau determinations for localities that fall under Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act , released late last week, are actually down from a decade ago—even as the nation's population has grown overall in the past 10 years.
Under the new Section 203 designations, 248 cities and counties in 25 states must offer voting assistance in a language other than English. Following the 2000 Census, 296 jurisdictions in 30 states were required to provide language assistance.
Even with fewer localities falling under Section 203 jurisdiction, there are still many of areas that are new to the designation with Spanish being the predominant language in many of the new jurisdictions.
"We were not sure if we were going to qualify," said John Tuteur, registrar of voters for Napa County, Calif. "I think we were only surprised though that not more counties were added."
Tuteur said his office has been voluntarily providing some Spanish-language materials a while back, but that now the office would be working with vendors and outreach people to prepare for the bilingual materials that first need to be offered in June 2012.
Salt Lake County is only the second county in Utah to fall under Section 203 and the first to be required to offer materials in Spanish. The county will begin offering voter registration in Spanish on Jan. 1, 2012 and their first bilingual election will be in June.
"We are going to confer with counties where Section 203 has already been implemented. We can learn a lot from them and their experience," said Clerk Sherrie Swensen. "We have established a committee to begin the process and are meeting this week."
Swensen said the ballot vendor used by the county works with many other Section 203 jurisdictions and she hopes to use them as a starting point as well for what the county will need to do to be ready.
One place jurisdictions will be able to turn to for help is the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC). The EAC provides numerous language assistance materials including voter guides in multiple languages.
For some counties, Section 203 designation isn't new, but the language may be. Ten years ago, Sacramento County in California was required to provide elections materials in Spanish, this time it's Chinese in addition to Spanish.
"Our first effort will be to identify where our Chinese voters are to start our outreach efforts. We will need community support for this project," said Jill LaVine, registrar of voters. "Since this is our first "character based" language we are learning what our election management software will accommodate. We are looking at ballot layout – do we put all three languages on one ballot? Our ballot printer has been notified of the change."
LaVine said her office has already been in touch with other California counties that provide materials in Chinese to see what sort of helpful hints they can offer.
The county's previous experience with Section 203 designation is also helping LaVine budget for the new language, which she estimates should cost about $200,000 to provide all the necessary materials and hire all the necessary staff.
Some states — like Virginia and Wisconsin — will see their first Section 203 designations.
"To be quite honest, we've been so busy the past eight months that I hadn't given the issue much thought. We had the two spring elections, a statewide recount in April, two recall elections, and we were busy working on redistricting and it's impact on our office," said Susan Edman, executive director of Milwaukee's election commission. "Had I'd given it some thought, I would not have been as surprised as I was when I heard the news."
Although many of the new jurisdictions have until their 2012 primaries to prepare, for some, those primaries are sooner rather than later and the push is on to get materials printed and more importantly get bilingual poll workers.
"I'm a little concerned," Edman said. "The bottom line is we have to get it done. If necessary we'll reach out to corporations in Milwaukee and ask that they allow their bilingual employees to work the polls without penalty."
In Fairfax County, Va., the designation and more-to-the point, the timing of the designation came as a surprise. The county has an election coming up in November.
"While we were aware of the possibility, we were not expecting the designation necessarily, since 10 years ago we also thought it might happen in Virginia and it did not," said Cameron Quinn, executive director of the Fairfax County board of elections. "Also, and more to the point, when we got past mid-September, when absentee ballots must be sent 45 days out, in conformity with state law, which mirrors the federal UOCAVA timelines, and then past the beginning of October, we did NOT expect that so close to an election we would suddenly be required to comply."
Cameron said the timing was a huge surprise and that in light of the already complicated elections due to the local races schedule and redistricting, she felt it was irresponsible.
That being said, Cameron did say that the county will do everything it can to make sure it complies with the federal requirements by November.
"We are doing everything we can to be ready, while still trying to ensure accurate and fair elections. We are still trying to determine what all we can provide – it will not be everything that can be provided in time for next November's elections, but we hope all the key election day voter material & ballot translations will be finished," Cameron said. "We are also trying to shift election officers to maximize bilingual assistance in those polling places most likely in need of such assistance. There will be back up phone translation service available anywhere there is a need that is not being met by a polling place election official."
Asian-Indian languages added for first time
For the first time, three jurisdictions — Cook County, Ill., Los Angeles County and the Borough of Queens in New York — will be required to provide language assistance in an Asian-Indian language. What that language will be, remains a bit of a puzzle.
With more than 100 different dialects and languages that fall under "Asian-Indian," which language will be required of each jurisdiction remains to be seen. The jurisdictions are working with officials from the Department of Justice to determine which languages — possibilities include Hindi, Pashto, Urdu and Bengali.
In Cook County, the Asian-Indian language designation was a bit of surprise. According to a spokeswoman with the clerk's office, the elections division was anticipating a designation of Korean, not Asian-Indian.
The county's election director is currently working with the Department of Justice to determine which Asian-Indian language the county will need to provide elections materials in and to determine which precincts need the language assistance.
"We have been doing Spanish and Chinese and Korean voluntarily," explained Gail Siegel, a spokeswoman with the county clerk's office. "We're assuming it's just going to be a few precincts, but we're really at the beginning stages of this."
The county, which has several staff members proficient in Asian-Indian languages and a full-time staff member dedicated to minority language work and community outreach, needs to be ready by the March 2012 primary.
Siegel said the county will work with local nonprofits and NGOs to do outreach and find any necessary volunteers, especially poll workers.
"We have already identified a number of community groups to do outreach to," Siegel said. "Our minority language/community outreach person is already aggressively working on this."
Siegel noted that while there will be some additional costs associated with the new language designation, because the county already has protocols in place for language-assistance, those additional costs will be minimal.
Jeannie Layson, a spokeswoman for the EAC was not sure at this time whether or not the agency would provide voter guides in the newly required languages.
"Expanding the language accessibility program is most likely a policy issue that should be determined by the commission," Layson said. "Until we get a quorum, we cannot move forward with a program expansion."
Lakota language assistance no longer required
While new Asian-Indian languages are being added for the first time, one American Indian language has disappeared from the list altogether. No longer will any jurisdictions have to provide language assistance in Lakota.
For South Dakota, which represented the largest number of covered jurisdictions, no longer falling under Section 203 provides a greater opportunity for local collaboration.
"I view the removal of federal oversight as less of a problem and more of an opportunity," said Secretary of State Jason Gant. "Instead of expensive federal mandates, we will be working at the local level with tribal leaders to achieve local solutions while saving taxpayer dollars."
Gant said that his office is working with counties and tribal leaders to ensure that even though South Dakota counties are no longer federally required to provide assistance that no one is disenfranchised.
"We have the opportunity to move past federal government solutions on federally mandated language requirements," Gant said in a statement. "Working with South Dakota tribal leaders, we can find reasonable answers to ensure that Lakota speaking Native American voters – many of them elderly – are served by the electoral process with simplicity and dignity."

The Knee Bone's Connected to the Leg Bone
My almost-fifteen-year-old daughter, Savannah had surgery on her knee last May. She has a fairly rare joint disorder called osteochondritis dissecans. Basically, a piece of her femur was peeling away. The doctor went in, drilled up into her bone so it would bleed down into this piece that had peeled away because of a loss of bloodflow, and he put some screws in it. It took a long time to heal, but she finally got the green light for sports in October, at which point the xray showed that the fragment of bone had adhered and was healing well.

Wow - that's an awesome story! Isn't it great to see how God works in your life? I am so touched by your doctor doing this for your family. I'll be praying for Savannah to recover from her surgery quickly and that it heals correctly this time.

That is such a wonderful story, I know that was a big relief to know that he will help you out. Most doctors "guarantee" their surgery for a year anyway so maybe that is the case. Either way, God works in so many wonderful ways, and you seem to be protected by him. Glad to hear it will be covered. I'd help you move if I lived in FL.

» To Ruse Or Not To Ruse
It is no secret that detectives have an insatiable appetite to procure a confession from a suspect. Most would tell you it is a great and satisfying result of their tedious efforts besides a token to their communication skills when successful. One of the most controversial police procedures is the use of trickery by law enforcement agents during an investigation but particularly in the course of obtaining a confession or admission.
In my police career, I have claimed to have evidence which did not exist and used many other ruses in order to extract information.Whether it is lying to a suspect, using a scheme, or introducing a staged event, the public still criticizes the legitimacy of police craftiness. The courts have ruled that telling a suspect certain evidence was found at a crime scene when in fact it was not, would not compel him or her to lie about whether they were in or on the premise, in possession of stolen property, or committed the criminal act. Therefore, skulduggery would not be the same as coercion, forcing them to confess to false events, nor would it be entrapment.
Standard law enforcement training cautions against overzealous law enforcement practices in order to uphold the integrity of a properly obtained confession, evidence, and to avoid any type of entrapment issues. Specific to police conduct, the courts declared in Sorrells v. US , "Criminal activity is such that stealth and strategy are necessary weapons in the arsenal of the police officer." At the same time, the justices had acknowledged the dangers and illegality of entrapment and warned against improper government conduct. Throughout history, however, numerous courts have upheld the use of deception by an investigator to obtain a confession is legal.
Yet, sometimes society still grasps with approval of this concept which they may surmise tarnishes the moral fiber of law enforcement. Defense attorneys love to use the deceptive strategies as a means to discredit the police to juries. Keeping these factors in mind, trickery is a risky practice and should be used with caution. For example, if a suspect calls your bluff or you expose the truth too soon, your credibility may be irreparable. The suspect may subsequently withdraw from conversations and a confession never secured. So why is it a police praxis? Because it is effective.
The journey of living an active lifestyle begins with desire, a compelling need to go beyond the last point of return…and then some…and more…and so on, and so on…

ENTER THE NET: YouTube great site for hands-on research
By David Hughes
My younger brother Steve (he's in his 60s) comes out with some profound ideas in his old age. Recently, he struck again with a concept I had not thought of in all my years of being on the Internet.
Steve has embraced photography in his later years full tilt. He has invested in all kinds of camera bodies and lenses and the accoutrements for the mechanics of making a good photo. But, speaking as a journalist photographer of almost 40 years, the old saying of "it's not the camera that makes the photo, but the nut behind it," (grin).
I'm proud to say that Steve definitely has "the eye" for making excellent photographs and he has posted hundreds of them online the past few years. While his work is primarily landscape based and centers a lot on beautiful old barns and natural beauty and mine was more "action-based," he has become at least as good as I was …
My brother has always displayed excellence in what he does, whether it is woodworking or spending meticulous hours designing and building stained glass projects.
He did ask my advice on photo subjects when first beginning his new hobby. We discussed the relationship between depth of field and lens aperture, as well as the effect of changing shutter speeds on images, etc. During those early times I suggested he should "just google your question or other information you need."
Perhaps it's my print-based mentality. Most of my life information came to me in some sort of printed form such as words or still images such as photos or illustrations.
Relax: I'm finally getting to the point of how changing technologies has changed how people search for help online. I think it has to do with how long you have been online.
That is, if you are a very old hand such as myself who remembers when there was no graphics at all on the 'Net, your brain is "wired" into searching for data the way you have always done it. But, if you are relatively new to the Internet world the newer methods are more familiar to you.
What brought this up is Steve's purchase of a couple of large format printers to make huge prints for display. He's also invested in the equipment needed to build custom frames and also stretch mount canvas=backed photographs.
While my brother is very intelligent, he found setting up this type of equipment and associated setup manuals intimidating and almost intelligible. He procrastinated several weeks before tackling the project, but what gave him the confidence was spending many hours on YouTube looking at the "how-to-do-it" videos done by others with the same equipment.
Steve told me the site has been a boon to him for a lot more than photo questions. He's the "Tim Taylor" of the family – except that he knows what he's doing on home projects. If he has to work on a piece of machinery with which he is not familiar. He'll just query YouTube with what he wants to do such as changing a flange on a what's-it and chances are, someone has been there, done that and videoed it for posterity.
My brother tells me one of the latest crazes on the service is really handy. Whenever folks get a new gee-gaw they will either take photographs or video of the unboxing. While some may think this is akin to watching paint dry, the real help comes if something happens and someone needs to return an item and for the life of them can't figure how to make it fit back into the same box for shipping.
The unboxing can be examined easily to see what goes where, especially when some YouTubers will do a re-boxing at the same time.
So, I'll admit this very old dog learned new tricks when it comes to searching techniques and a tip of the fedora goes to the "younger" generation for the help.
However … my favorite word … I still find YouTube a great place to get a fix from home, as well as other places I have lived in my lifetime. I just search for videos from Benton or Saline County. While the chances are I won't know the folks in the video, I recognize a lot of landmarks from my childhood.
I enjoy seeing posted videos of BHS student activities and the little kids having a great time because it allows me to relive a little of my childhood.
Finally – some observations … While the digital age of photography has made it easier and much less expensive to "take picture," what most of us are doing is taking images … hundreds or thousands of them. While that increases the odds slightly of getting a better photo, sometimes when we sit down at the computer and scroll through an overwhelming wave of stuff that we don't take the time to really looks at pictures the same way as when we hold a tangible photo in our hands.
Steve's photos are art in my opinion and there are several amateurs in Saline County who also fit that description. It's a shame their art is not shared through prints more often. Congrats, bro. Thanks for your sharing a tangible memory.

This article comes to us courtesy of California Watch.
California's largest institution for the developmentally disabled risks losing millions of dollars in federal funding because of poor medical care and widespread failures to prevent abuse and thoroughly investigate when patients are harmed, state officials said in a confidential report.
The Department of Public Health inspection report presented a damning indictment of the Sonoma Developmental Center, which houses more than 500 people with cerebral palsy and other intellectual disabilities. Normally such reports are kept from the public, but California Watch obtained a copy of the 495-page document this week.
"Individuals have been abused, neglected, and otherwise mistreated and the facility has not taken steps to protect individuals and prevent reoccurrence," the report said. "Individuals were subjected to the use of drugs or restraints without justification. Individual freedoms have been denied or restricted without justification."
According to the report, the board-and-care institution must immediately upgrade patient care and abuse investigations to keep its federal certification. Without federal approval, the Sonoma center would lose reimbursement from the Medicare and Medicaid programs - crippling its budget and placing an even greater burden on the state.
For the Sonoma center, the penalty would cut off reimbursements that cover about half of its $160 million annual budget. Finance records show that the Medi-Cal program pays more than $6 million a month for patient care at the Sonoma center.
State regulators repeatedly faulted the in-house police force, the Office of Protective Services, for inadequate investigations.
"The facility failed to ensure evidence that all alleged violations and injuries of unknown origin were thoroughly investigated," the report said. The investigations "lacked significant and/or pertinent information to minimize recurrence."
"It leads one to believe that, in certain circumstances, it's a lawless environment," state Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, said of the inspection report.
In a series of stories this year, California Watch has reported that detectives and patrol officers at the institutions routinely fail to conduct basic police work, even when patients die under mysterious circumstances. In case after case, detectives and officers have delayed interviews with witnesses or suspects - if they have conducted interviews at all.
The force has also waited too long to collect evidence or secure crime scenes and has been accused of going easy on co-workers who care for the disabled.
The state Department of Developmental Services operates five centers that house nearly 1,700 patients with cerebral palsy and other intellectual disabilities in Sonoma, Tulare, Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties. California is budgeted to spend about $314,000 this year per developmental center patient.
Terri Delgadillo, director of the Department of Developmental Services, said the department "recognizes the action necessary to ensure the health and safety of residents at the Sonoma Developmental Center."
"Several key changes have already been made but more must be done," Delgadillo said in a statement. "Both the executive director and the clinical director have been replaced. Several other employees have been terminated or disciplined and investigations continue which could result in additional actions."
The report includes the Sonoma center's plans to correct its violations, which include hiring additional caregivers and retraining employees.
Regulators have not decertified a center for more than a decade. The state Department of Public Health, which licenses and regulates the institutions, decertified the Agnews Developmental Center in San Jose for patient neglect in 1999. Agnews closed two years ago.
In September, someone assaulted a dozen patients with a stun gun, an incident first reported by California Watch last month. The victims suffered severe burns on their backs, buttocks, arms and legs.
The Office of Protective Services received a tip that a caregiver named Archie Millora had abused patients during his shifts. Officers found a Taser in Millora's car, along with a loaded handgun, but did not make an arrest in the assaults.
Detectives continued to delay or overlook abuse cases in recent months, according to the report.
On May 25, Rue Denoncourt, a psychiatric technician, took a female patient into a bathroom and exposed his genitals. Another employee reported the abuse and the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department arrested Denoncourt for lewd conduct; he pleaded no contest earlier this month and was sentenced to eight months in prison.
The Office of Protective Services waited weeks to review patient records to determine whether others living on the unit where Denoncourt worked showed signs of abuse, the report shows.
In fact, there was another victim.
Denoncourt, who worked at the center 27 years, admitted to sheriff's deputies that he had also abused the victim's roommate, forcing the second female patient to touch him while he masturbated, the report said.
Three weeks earlier, on May 4, caregivers discovered bruises on both women, including an injury to a patient's left breast. State regulators found records showing the patients had not attended a Cinco de Mayo event at the center the previous evening and that Denoncourt was working on their unit at the time.
But the Office of Protective Services did not investigate whether Denoncourt was alone with the victims, according to the report.
The state Assembly yesterday unanimously approved legislation, SB 1051, to require the centers to report certain abuse and injury cases to outside law enforcement and advocacy organizations for the disabled. The bill, which now goes to Gov. Jerry Brown, also sets minimum qualifications for the Office of Protective Services' chief.
Leno has sponsored legislation, SB 1522, to mandate that centers notify outside law enforcement in cases of patient death, sexual abuse, and assaults with a deadly weapon or severe injury, and unexplained broken bones. The state Assembly is expected to vote on SB 1522 today.
The Sonoma center's nursing services were also faulted, most notably for unsafe practices when placing feeding tubes and failure to follow policies regarding how to read vital signs and assess patients' pain.
As part of the improvements, the report said center employees would receive training on an array of issues. One of them is handling of patients with pica, a disorder that causes people to ingest things that are not food.
On Nov. 22, patient Jean Erquiaga consumed part of a "soft knit shirt," according to an internal incident report. Erquiaga had long been diagnosed with pica, swallowing disposable diapers in years past, a concern caregivers were aware of.
Erquiaga began vomiting and, five days after eating the fabric, the center took the patient to Sonoma Valley Hospital, the internal record shows. Doctors operated on Erquiaga to remove material that had formed a bowel blockage.
Sonoma center records show Erquiaga died of respiratory failure on Dec. 1.
The Office of Protective Services opened an investigation nearly six weeks later, on Jan. 13. If center detectives intended to investigate potential criminal negligence, the caregiver responsible for protecting Erquiaga was already gone, the records show.
"This individual had been working towards transferring to Coalinga (State Hospital)," a Sonoma administrator wrote, "and is now employed there."

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Tommy Meyer played the game of his life Wednesday night, giving a splendid performance alongside Omar Gonzalez as the LA Galaxy dominated the Supporters' Shield-winning San Jose Earthquakes to advance to the Western Conference Championship.
The rookie out of Indiana University was nearly flawless in central defense, producing perhaps his best performance since turning pro. He also delivered a terrific long ball to Landon Donovan to help set up Robbie Keane's crucial second goal, the one that gave LA the aggregate advantage in their 3-1 victory over the Earthquakes at Buck Shaw Stadium and erased Sunday's 1-0 first-leg defeat.
RECAP: Galaxy advance to Western Conference Championship with 3-1 win over Quakes
Consider it Meyer's coming-out party.
"I don't know about that," he said modestly.
But Donovan does.
"Tommy became a man tonight," the Galaxy captain said. "We're going to need that at least two more times, hopefully three more times, out of him. And if he plays like that, we've really got a chance."
Meyer has been stationed next to Gonzalez, 2011 MLS Defender of the Year, since A.J. DeLaGarza went down with a sprained MCL at the end of September. He's grown up in seven starts since then, though it's been something of a baptism by fire. He's been solid one moment, mistake-prone the next and not always precise with the ball at his feet.
But on Wednesday, he and Gonzalez outmuscled bruising Quakes forward Steven Lenhart, again kept MLS Golden Boot winner Chris Wondolowski off the scoreboard and were pivotal as LA won second balls again and again. Meyer came up huge several times in the penalty box, most impressively at the end of the first half, shutting down Lenhart after he'd beaten Gonzalez on the dribble.
"[Meyer is] moving along well," Gonzalez noted. "This is a time when we need him to be at his best, and I think he's doing that. He's part of the reason why we won tonight, and I think he did great."
Was it Meyer's best performance with the Galaxy?
"Yeah, I think so," Gonzalez said. "We were being put under a lot of pressure, and we did well to work together. If he went up for a ball, then I went behind him, and if I went up for a ball, then he was there to scoop up the second ball. I thought we did great together."
READ: LA "never say die" and see off San Jose
Keane was also impressed.
"I thought Tommy and Omar were brilliant," the Irish striker said. "Always tough when you play against big lads up front who like to battle, and that's [San Jose's] game, to hustle and bustle. The lads [at the back], I thought, were superb."
Meyer said responding correctly to the Quakes' physical style was key.
"Obviously, you have to be more physical with these guys – that's something I learned from the last time I played them when we were here [on Oct. 21] and at our place [in the first leg]," he said. "I've been confident for a while now. I made some progress over the last couple of months, just with help from the coaching staff and having Omar and people around me helping me get better."

Generex Points to Potential of Antigen Express Technology Platform beyond Its AE37 Breast Cancer Vaccine
Jan 31, 2013, 09:00 EST
WORCESTER, Mass. and TORONTO, Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Generex Biotechnology Corporation (www.generex.com) (OTCBB: GNBT) today explained the potential of the technology platform used as the basis for its novel breast cancer immunotherapy product AE37. AE37 is currently in late Phase IIb clinical development and has garnered considerable attention based upon favourable results from interim analysis of its controlled, randomized, and blinded trial in women with early stage breast cancer.
The main potential advantage cancer immunotherapy like AE37 has compared to other cancer therapies is the ability to direct the body's immune system against targeted cancer cells, similar to other vaccines that direct the immune system against targeted infections. Obviously, the difficulty in treating cancer this way is that it arises from our own tissues rather than from an outside organism. It requires extra coaxing for the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells that are similar (relatively on the surface) to a person's normal cells. The proprietary modification that is incorporated into AE37, termed Ii-Key, is what gives AE37 the added potency required to activate and direct the immune system to go after cancer cells. The 'payload' in AE37 is a fragment protein associated with cancer cells, best known in breast cancer, but also known for its occurrence in other cancers, called HER2.
The addition of a protein called Ii-Key, the Antigen Express proprietary technology, to the HER2 fragment ensures that the HER2 target is recognized as the protein to attack by immune cells; additionally, the technology adds the HER2 protein to the immune system memory for future reference. The key activated immune cells, termed CD4+ T helper cells, in a sense represent the Generals of the immune system, controlling and directing the immune system to target key proteins. The process of activating CD4+ T helper cells requires intracellular processing through processing cells called 'antigen presenting cells'. For example, in infections or cancer, to get the immune Generals, CD4 cells, to attach to a virus or bacteria or cancer, the antigen processing cells will engulf and degrade the virus or bacteria or cancer cell. Ii-Key bypasses the need for intracellular cell degradation and processing, ensuring any payload attached to the Ii key protein will be delivered directly for activation of the immune Generals, CD4+ T cells. In this way, Antigen Express technology essentially hijacks the immune system into going after any given target.
Antigen Express has explored the uses of Ii-Key to deliver a variety of 'payloads' to activate the immune system, both to prove the technology and develop a pipeline. Ii-Key-based lead compounds have been identified for the HER2 protein, being researched in early breast cancer and also proteins in cervical cancer (HPV) and melanoma. The studies describing the activity and preclinical development of those compounds are the subject of peer-reviewed publications. The Company is thus on track to deliver on its business development strategy of demonstrating Phase IIb proof of principle of products in early breast cancer for partnering or licensing as well as offering a proven technology platform for the development of further immune therapy product candidates by potentially adding immune target proteins selected by outside parties to our proprietary Ii key platform.
About Generex Biotechnology Corporation
Generex is engaged in the research, development, and commercialization of drug delivery systems and technologies. Generex has developed a proprietary platform technology for the delivery of drugs into the human body through the oral cavity (with no deposit in the lungs). The Company's proprietary liquid formulations allow drugs typically administered by injection to be absorbed into the body by the lining of the inner mouth using the Company's proprietary RapidMist™ device. Antigen Express, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Generex. The core platform technologies of Antigen Express comprise immunotherapeutic vaccines for the treatment of malignant, infectious, allergic, and autoimmune diseases. Antigen Express has pioneered the use of specific CD4+ T-helper stimulation technologies in immunotherapy. One focuses on modification of peptides with Ii-Key to increase potency while a second relies on inhibition of expression of the Ii protein. Antigen Express scientists, and others, have shown clearly that suppression of expression of the Ii protein in cancer cells allows for potent stimulation of T-helper cells and prevents the further growth of cancer cells.

Former Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding is to dazzle viewers with her outfit on tonight's edition of BBC gymnastic contest Tumble - with 200 fairy lights sewn into her leotard.
The ex-Girls Aloud star will illuminate the show with her LED costume, which also features a number of cut-out panels, while performing an acrobatic floor routine with her show partner Leon Fagbemi.
The programme-makers turned to a US firm which has worked with the likes of Kylie Minogue and Pet Shop Boys to create the glowing, skimpy outfit.
A show insider said: "Sarah is so excited about her costume as it is reminding her of the good old days with Cheryl and the girls when they were on tour. She wants to give the fans what they want - glamour and a whole lot of razzmatazz."
The second edition of the programme, which is shown at 6.30pm on BBC One, will see the first contestant eliminated.
All the celebrities, including boxer Carl Froch, Lucy Mecklenburgh - who found fame in The Only Way Is Essex - and Andrea McLean from Loose Women, remained in the competition after last week's debut edition.
Mecklenburgh - who is propping up the leader board - and McLean are are joint favourites to be given the boot at 7/4, according to bookmaker William Hill.
Actor John Partridge - who drew the highest score from the judging panel, which include Louis Smith and Nadia Comaneci - is favourite to win the title at 13/8.
Another contestant, Ian "H" Watkins, who found fame with the group Steps, has had to have his hands strapped up after hurting himself while practising his routine on the hoops. He will dress as a rock star for his performance on tonight's show, which will also include pyrotechnics.

You leave me no choice.
A Tutorial should be easy and should be low level, specially if it is a beginner-tutorial like this one.
Yes, a tutorial should begin at the beginning. But that doesn't mean it has to be easy or targeted at little children. Of course, if this is indeed meant for young children, then I take back what I said and can only say it's a good tutorial.
I really don't think bringing idiot non-programmers to PM has anything to do with this tutorial. It's not the OP fault if it does. Anything in the whole world can bring idiots here, even the holy perldoc.
If we start having tutorials like this, we get another breed of programmers here: the non-programmers who think it's elite or cool to write a script that displays their own name in an infinite loop. This forum is already loaded with an overwhelming number of basic questions, and the total amount of time the less ignorant people, who want to help people, is limited. This forum doesn't have a special way to see before opening a node what level a question will be, so many have already left PM and no longer answer questions here. I haven't left, but I sure do answer much fewer questions.
I do think the OP of this thread is doing something that could damage the Perl community, exactly because they posted this on PM instead of somewhere else. There are already way too many tutorials that create bad programmers, and I thank random deities they're not on the best known Perl forum.
What? What happened? There are nice thing done in PHP out there, as there are nice thing done in Perl, Java and even ASP
Oh, yes, even Tcl can be used to create a big application in. It's entirely besides the point.
In any language, nice programs can be made. Even with a big stinking chunk of functions and lack of modern dynamic language features, like with PHP. However, the quality of PHP is not why it attracts idiots. It's the community and the way documentation is written that do that. The Perl community is often seen as an elitist community from the outside, but I prefer that to something that wastes human resources the way the PHP community does.
The ways of the PHP community influence how PHP is built. There is a reason that PHP does not have lexical variables and will probably never have them: it would be too hard to understand for the target audience.
PHP make certain jobs extremely easy to do and still runs with good performance.
Mediocre performance. And it makes certain jobs easy, yes. Jobs like calculating an easterdate. It's a nice templating language, though, except it is useful only for dynamic content. Before I realised that a web server specific templating language is stupid, I created PLP. Nowadays I want to drastically change PLP, but can't, because I made some of the same mistakes that PHP made. Fortunately, almost nobody uses PLP. Unfortunately, PHP is now the most popular web programming language in the world. I stress that PHP isn't good for *programming*.
Why Perl should be such a hard time to learn?
Does not have to be a hard time, or even hard. There should be something to filter out the stupidest of beginners. I think scrottie was right when he said:
PHP got rid of the most of the dimwit perl programmers who aren't capable of doing anything that can't be done by calling a function with some arguments.
and by doing so I could had accomplished much more and then maybe be less-idiotic
I think you mean less ignorant, not less idiotic.FLAME OFF.

Spring Flowering Records
The first-flowering dates for spring-blooming plants (both
native/naturalized and cultivated species) have been recorded by more than 100 volunteers in the
Department of Botany, NMNH, each year from January 1 to May 31 since 1970.
The two main contributors have been Aaron Goldberg and the late John Wurdack.
The spring flowering list is
updated and compiled on a yearly basis from these records. The list gives
the range of dates that the spring flowers have been observed to start blooming
within the Washington area over the years 1970-2010. A few non-flowering
plants (ferns, gymnosperms) are included, and for them the dates refer
to spore- or pollen-shedding.
In March 2000, Smithsonian scientists Stanwyn Shetler, Mones Abu-Asab, Paul Peterson, and Sylvia Stone Orli released the results of their study, "Earlier Plant Flowering as a Response to Global Warming in the Washington, DC, Area". The study indicates that the rise in the region's average minimum temperatures is producing earlier flowering in 89 of the 100 common plant species investigated. For the full story, see the press release. Their paper was published in Biodiversity and Conservation in 2001. An earlier paper, "First Flowering Dates for Spring-Blooming Plants of the Washington, D.C., area for the years 1970 to 1983", by Stanwyn Shetler and Susan Wiser, is also available as a pdf file.

It was announced at SDCC last year that a new Batman: The Animated Series film was in the works, "Batman & Harley". Done in the New Batman Adventures animation style, we are finally getting some solid casting news from the film, other than the return of Kevin Conroy to the role that made him a star.
RELATED: Toy Fair: DC Collectibles Batman: TAS Batcave!
Conroy himself took to Twitter to announce his return, as well as the casting for Harley Quinn. This go around the role will be tackled by Melissa Rauch from "The Big Bang Theory".
Executive produced by Bruce Timm, who goes back to his classic style heralded in Batman: The Animated Series, this is an original story featuring the reluctant team-up of Batman, Nightwing and Harley Quinn to try and stop a global catastrophe caused by Poison Ivy and Jason Woodrue, AKA the Plant-Master.
No release date has been announced yet for the film. We will continue to cover this one here on Legions of Gotham!

And Now a Message From Chuck Lorre
A glimpse inside the strange mind that brings you Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men.
Of those many millions of viewers, however, probably only a handful noticed the message that briefly appeared after the credits for both series finished rolling. "Over the years, CBS executives have always been very generous when it comes to sharing their ideas as to how I might better do my job," it read. "I have never returned the favor regarding how they might run their network. Until now." The message went on to offer the network several facetious suggestions, among them "Tell the world that CBS only airs the coolest and most honest commercials."
The text flashed on-screen for a split second, then vanished. Only viewers savvy—and curious—enough to freeze the frame would have been able to read Chuck Lorre's 288th "vanity card" all the way through.
Typically, TV producers display their personal production logos at the end of a show's credits—famous examples include Gary David Goldberg's "Sit, Ubu, sit!" or Joss Whedon's "Grr! Argh!" monster. Lorre is more playful. He doesn't run the same image or logo week in and week out. Instead, he attaches vanity cards to his TV shows: quirky concluding notes that change with each episode.
Lorre began experimenting with vanity cards back when his ABC comedy Dharma and Gregwas in its first season. "It was a completely open forum for me to write whatever I wanted," he says. "And it didn't necessarily have to be funny. It didn't have to be true. It could be true. It could be revelatory and deeply personal, or completely ridiculous."
Over the past 12 years, Lorre's cards have been all those things and more. They've offered intimate revelations, broad comedy, and righteous anger (often inspired by network censors). They've been alternately depressing and charming, lighthearted and uncomfortably dark. They've occasionally provided revealing glimpses into how a sitcom is made; on other occasions, they've provided peeks into the psyche of a narcissist. The cards have evolved over time—the ones from the Dharma and Greg era are fittingly earnest, while more recent ones tend to focus on the mechanics of Hollywood—but they've never been boring.
Lorre is modest about the meaning behind the messages—he told me he was amused that anybody "gives a shit enough to write about" them. But what other big-shot TV producer invites viewers to tour the recesses of his mind on a weekly basis? Both of Lorre's hit shows have season premieres this week—as does a new Lorre series, Mike and Molly—meaning a new batch of vanity cards will soon be flashing on millions of American screens. Herewith, a slide show of 10 of Lorre's most notable cards, culled from the full archives at chucklorre.com and illuminated by my conversation with Lorre.

PeerGuardian BlockList Filter
I find two way of using peerguardian blocklist file under Unix. The first was the official peerguadian under unix project ( http://moblock.berlios.de/ ) but i have had problems with library. If someone would try make it work it could be great. The second was a to use Linblock ( http://dessent.net/linblock/) witch was use under Linkstation.
Installation of Linblock
Linblock requieres some Perl Library. It could be install with cpan, just run :
cpan -i LWP Net::IP IPTables::IPv4
I have had some make error with the IPTables::IPv4 library, so I install it manualy ( http://search.cpan.org/~dpates/IPTables-IPv4-0.98/IPv4.pm )
tar -xzvf IPTables-IPv4-0.98.tar cd IPTables-IPv4-0.98 perl Makefile.pl make make install
Download (http://dessent.net/linblock/) et chmod linblock
chmod 755 linblock.pl
Linblock requiered p2p peerguardian file format. You can find it on | the peerguardian wiki then just run :
linblock -i yourfile.p2p
It will parse and then insert the rules inside iptables. It's take really long time...

The Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association (PIABA) recently stated that FINRA, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, is not doing enough to recruit a diverse set of arbitrators, nor enough to vet those arbitrators biases. After a study of some five thousand FINRA arbitrators, the Association said it found the pool of FINRA arbitrators to be largely made up of older men. In its findings, the Association said that about 80% of arbitrators who hear investor disputes are male, with an average age of 69. The group added that more than 10% of that group is over the age of 80.
The Association went on to say that FINRA's way of screening arbitrators for bias and conflicts of interest is flawed, in that it relies solely on the individuals applying for the position to make self-disclosures about their bias and past activities. As a result of their findings, PIABA President Jason Doss said that "FINRA's arbitrator disclosure process fails at every step. Therefore, investors have no other choice but to conclude that arbitration is unfair."
This study was conducted after PIABA said investors have seen win rates in FINRA arbitration drop to about 42% in current years. This number is almost 20% less than the 60% win rate investors held back in 1992. In response, FINRA released a statement which said "the reality is that win rates increase or decrease depending upon the controversy involved, market events and counsel, we [FINRA] have made substantial efforts to recruit and train arbitrators from diverse backgrounds and will continue to do so."
So is this a problem? Well, FINRA's current arbitration process is typically the only way investors can resolve legal claims with their broker or FINRA registered adviser. When hiring a broker, most firms include a provision that makes the client consent to mandatory arbitration in the event of any dispute. Of course, investors can look to FINRA's BrokerCheck before hiring a broker to see if they have a clean history. Again, the only problem being that FINRA's BrokerCheck system has taken a lot of heat recently disputing claims that brokers get negative comments erased from their profiles far to easy and often.
If you have questions about FINRA arbitration, or would like representation throughout, please call the experienced attorneys at Maya Murphy, P.C. at 203-221-3100. We may also be reached by email at email@example.com.

In this month's postgraduate student insight blog, our Finance Masters students discuss how they chose their elective modules for the term, and their dissertation topics.
MSc FinanceJing Shao
I chose my elective modules mainly based on my career plan. I want to work as an equity researcher in the short term and as a mutual fund manager in the long term. Therefore I took the 'Practices of Investment Management' module, to study active portfolio management. Apart from this, I would recommend 'Financial Reporting and Statement Analysis' for students who have similar career plan since it is very useful for equity analysis.
If you want to work in investment banks, then 'Mergers and Acquisitions' and 'Corporate Control' are good choices. If you want to work in fixed income position, then you can take 'Fixed Income and Credit Risk'. Also, the MSc Finance programme provides modules for bank, derivatives, risk management and currency business.
There is one particular module I would like to specify for PhD students - 'Empirical Application in Macro, Financial and Energy issues'. I'd recommend this because it involves advanced econometrics, MATLAB programming and data searching that are fundamental and useful for PhD degree.
MSc Financial MathematicsEllie Davidson
We were able to choose electives from three different departments: Mathematics, Statistics, and the Business School. With my particular background–a pure maths graduate with previous work experience in the financial sector – in order to add to my skill set most effectively I decided to choose two Statistics modules.
My electives were 'Financial Time Series' and 'Brownian Motion'. Time series analysis is used heavily in the quantitative finance industry which many of are entering after our masters, and this module was thereforevery practical, showing us how to fit mathematical models to real historical data sets. By contrast, Brownian Motion was incredibly theoretical, as we rigorously proved all the theorems we had used throughout the year in other modules. Although this sort of thing certainly isn't for everyone(!), knowing where the theorems had come from helped to deepen and enhance my overall understanding.

If you've already set up a Business Location in Square, but aren't able to select it when using our

plugin the problem is likely in your hosting environment.
Here are the two common hosting issues that will cause this issue:
Typically the first two points are the most common and should be a quick fix for your host.
If you are using 1and1 hosting, you will not be able to use our plugin as their server networks do not allow your site to communicate with Square. This is an issue on 1and1's side and sadly there is nothing thatWooCommerce/Square can do about it. We (WooCommerce) informed 1and1 about this in February 2017.

Bouncing Bunny in a Tuxedo Costume
Added Dec 1, 2010
Humble, Texas, U...
I took Rob's Mock Tuxedo Bib #BS-009 pattern and implemented into my daughter's Halloween costume this year. I followed the pattern exactly and added a few extras to make it work with the costume. The costume was of a rabbit and in my mind all I could envision was Bugs Bunny dressed in his tuxedo. With that in mind I went to work. After completing the tuxedo bib I not only added the buttons to the to the front but also the collar on the sides. The reason for this is because I was making sure that the vest that was to be worn over it would not move away from the bib, so this would keep it straight. Because of the shortage in time I took a vest bustier and refashioned it to fit her. First the seams were taken in to make it a snugger fit. There were button holes created to match up with the bib collar buttons and also sewed the same bib fabric to the bottom of the vest to create the illusion of the fake tuxedo shirt sticking out. This also added length to the vest ensemble. To further complete the costume, I made spats and wrist cuffs. Since it was made for my daughter (child) it needed to have a splash of fun and color. So the spats and cuffs were made in chameleon green nylon fabric to tie in the green-plaid shorts (which were bought not made). The element of embellished fun I would have to say were the feet I made for her. The feet were made out of old crocs covered in foam, plastic canvas, and faux fur fabric. Several different types of sticky agents were used; duct tape, fabric glue, and a low heat glue gun. This was by far the messiest but most worth while effort. A little creative face make-up done with eyeliners, eyeshadows, and blush then also some gum glue and fishing wire for her whiskers and voilà! My little bunny was born!
The first picture she wore a Jacket (not made by me at all) because it was a cold day… the nice thing about it is that it looked good with her costume too, versus the school jacket that didn't match at all

The team, from the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, say they have developed a "fluid-like" polymer electrolyte that is more flexible than a traditional battery.
The new system is, according to the researchers, more stable than conventional batteries.
A spokesman for the Korean science ministry told the Korean Joongang Daily: "Conventional lithium-ion batteries that use liquefied electrolytes had safety problems as the film that separates the electrolytes may melt under heat, in which case the positive and negative elements may come in contact, causing an explosion."
Last week, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Samsung showed off a prototype for a flexible smartphone, which it calls Youm.
On stage at CES the prototype phone was shown being flexed and bent without any conspicuous colour distortion, with other pre-recorded demonstrations shown on film.
Corning, the maker of Gorilla Glass, which is widely used across mobile phones, is also working on a flexible glass product called Willow.
It is likely to be available in time for use on devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the forthcoming iPhone, but will not offer the flexibility of plastic. Subsequent mobile phone releases, therefore, may not use as much glass and may instead move to flexible displays.
