Did you enable the Sid scanner in plugin's setup and is your vdr configured to update pids? (I was using zero pids as an example only). After that you should have "changing pids" messages in vdr's log. However, if those messages are missing, the plugin and vdr cannot parse necessary information from Dreambox's TS stream and you should add used video and audio (and other) pids into the channels.conf entry. > I also noticed the VDR patch appears to break vompserver, so I only get > about 8 channels displayed, which is a bigger issue to me as I have > three hauppauge mvp's around the house to watch tv. The patch doesn't change any current interfaces - it just adds a few new methods, so it shouldn't break compatibility with any plugin. You could also try Udo's streamplayer plugin.

TRENTON – A Republican lawmaker plans to introduce legislation tomorrow to require witnesses of child sexual abuse to notify law enforcement officials.
The proposed legislation is a direct response to the Penn State and Syracuse University cases, says Sen. Christopher "Kip" Bateman, a member of both the Senate Judiciary and Law & Public Safety committees.
"In both cases, adults knew that the abuse was occurring yet they failed in their moral duty to take the appropriate steps to end the abuse," Bateman said. "When my bill passes witnesses will no longer have that decision. They will be required to notify law enforcement authorities of these obscene violations."
The legislation modifies current law in two ways: it requires any person having reasonable cause to believe that a child has been subjected to an act of sexual abuse to immediately report the act to law enforcement officials. It also makes failing to report an act of sexual abuse a crime of the fourth degree, punishable by a term of imprisonment of three to five years and a fine of no more than $15,000, or both.
"I hope that members of both parties, in both houses, support this timely legislation," Bateman concluded.

When Ethel Azama made Cool Heat for Liberty and Jesse Belvin recorded Mr. Easy for RCA Victor within a few weeks of each other in the fall of 1959 in Hollywood, both singers were among the most promising discoveries of their respective record labels. What they also had in common, among other things, was that these fine albums turned out to be career peaks for each singer.
Azama subsequently moved to Australia, while the tragic Belvin was killed in an auto accident before his debut album was released. Adding class to each project was another coincidence; the arranger and conductor on both albums was the great Marty Paich, who throughout decided to rely on the distinctive talents of alto saxophonist Art Pepper to take care of the soloing.
The serendipitous combination of talents turned each album into a wonderfully felicitous example of timeless musical creativity.

A few days ago I passed on a piece of news that had taken center-stage as an indication of the power of fans. The issue involved writing superstar J.K. Rowling, who had been asked (would "demanded" or "requested" be better words?) by Lynn Shepherd to stop writing. If not for a nobler reason, at least in order to give some space to the debutantes and the not-so-lucky.
"@white0gargoyle:What storm! "@JimMurrayAuthor:Crime author reaps whirlwind after urging JK Rowling to stop writing http://t.co/ACNdcxO3xL""
— Francisc Nona (@ferinona) March 2, 2014
One thinks about this and somewhere, in the deep recesses of one's hopeful mind, the torturing thought appears to make sense. It's not unlike asking a billionaire to stop making so much money, lest poor startups are left with mere bones to chew on. (Not to mention the really poor, who don't even have a business to complain about!)
Except we're not talking about making money here – in spite of the frighteningly big cheques Rowling is cashing in. No, it's not about money. It's about writing. What bothered the author of the anti-Rowling tirade (subsequently turned, of course, into kind apologies) was the extent to which the mother of Harry Potter has been monopolizing printed space. And that's exactly where it doesn't quite make sense to complain. Why? Because there's no such thing as monopoly in the world of authors. Yes, yes, I know. I know about those who sell millions of copies, I know about the Dan Browns, the Stephen Kings, and the Dean Koontz's of the writerly world who seem to have taken book selling to fictional dimensions. But they are far from monopolizing literature. With or without them, literature is doing just as fine. There are still Noble prizes to be won, the Booker grows in prestige every year, and even if we don't think much of these distinctions, the success of the famous doesn't stop cohorts of (often bad, often good) self-published authors to rise to internet fame like mushrooms after a good summer rain.
|Lynn Shepherd

|J.K. Rowling
via mayhementertainment411
Let's think about it. Monopoly means the power of one. It's dictatorship, tyranny, bad stuff. In a monopoly situation all alternatives are paralyzed. Is that what's happening around the J.R. Rowling industry? Has she killed all possibilities? Are there no other writers publishing and making a lot of money? Are there no fans of other authors who hate Rowling just as much but who would give their lives (metaphorically, of course) to the cause of their own idols? If the answer to any of the above is 'no,' we can safely rule out the possibility of monopoly.
One can't accuse J.K. Rowling of running a monopoly (which she isn't properly running, since it's mostly done by her vehement readers) in Rowling Land. Neither can one accuse Dan Brown or Stephen King of the same, when it all takes place in Brown Land or King Land. What these things I call lands have in common is their isolation. They are exclusive territories, with fans who throw their own tantrums, and with readers who have their own tendencies towards xenophobia. But they don't spill out. Not so much as to worry anybody who is concerned by the fate of literature. They are mostly confined to their reading pleasures and to the circles of aficionados they are affiliated to. They don't bother the reading time of those who want to read Dickens or who think that Dickens is the only one worth one's attention. The latter, as we can see, aren't any better than the former, since what they're advocating is an equally exclusivist approach to whatever is the object of reading.
My point is this: reading is free. One cannot be persuaded to read what one doesn't like, which is not unlike saying the opposite: that one always reads what one likes best. Whatever makes them happy!
And so, one's audience must not be taken to be the only audience there is. Because it's not. I, personally, haven't read any of J.R. Rowlings' books. I didn't do it because of some literary purism. I simply never had time to approach them. The same way I've never had time to finish Anna Karenina. So I am not part of the Rowling audience. But there are many, very many, who do belong in the class of Harry Potter readers. Why should I stumble upon them? Why should I be frightened by them? Why should I be worried? It's likely we're never going to cross paths. At the end of the day, we have our own preferences and our own reading schedules, which may or may not collide. If they do, we can talk; if they don't, we don't even have to pretend we've never heard of each other.
The other side
On the other hand, though, let's take a look at the opponent as well. It's only fair to say that, if the argument from the freedom of expression is brought about, then her point should be examined at least with some attention. I would, if I were one of her critics, try to think positively about something that appears in eminently negative lights. What I have in mind is a blog post by Chuck Wendig the other day, who, on a completely different topic, was encouraging people in general (not necessarily the class of readers) to think before judging. That would involve, in his words, thinking in terms such as the following:
"Assume that people who are outraged are sincere and earnest. You don't have to think they're right, mind you — nor do you need to appease and placate just because it's outrage. But assume it's real. Assume it comes from a place of hurt and not that it's manufactured just for drama's sake. Sure, sometimes it is. But you don't know that and it's very hard to tell unless you really know the heart of a person — how do you know that they're just stirring shit because they like the smell and not because they're actually upset? You don't. Everyone should approach each other like they're coming at common ground from different ends, not that they're trying to burn the crops and salt the earth."
Take a positive twist on your darkest thoughts – this is Wendig's point. That, to the headless fury of offended fans, doesn't quite occur as a possibility. Not very often. But to think in response to this Rowling tornado, let's admit it: the critic was using a tool widely used since reading has become professional and (more recently) interactive. And that tool is called criticism. Just like the fans who exploded against her, maybe all this was her having a word to say about something she didn't like. Somehow she chose to focus on the wrong thing. Had she stopped at a more specific issue, she would have generated one of those gentle debates that animate fan groups around the world: things to do with character construction, style – you know, the usual stuff of writing.
Fans have been adapting Shepherd's post,
making it into attacks against her own books.
The author of this video went on to post a similar 1-star review
on her Amazon account, just to make the point clearer.
But what if Shepherd is onto something? At the end of the day, frankly speaking, yes: J.R. Rowling is getting more primetime than many other authors. And yes, any article published in a newspaper, a magazine, or a blog takes up print territory to the detriment of all the other articles which could have appeared in the same space. So her calculations are not so darn far-fetched as to completely exclude the point she's trying to make. Mathematically speaking, she's right. She's also right statistically, and for the same reasons: the more attention is paid to a writer, the more he or she gains in the fans department; and the more they do so, the more likely it becomes for their names to appear at the top of all lists of preferences. Poor unknowns, they can only contemplate the rise to power of others, while their own work remains hidden in the clutter of anonymity.
There's no real monopoly. Not in literature
It looks like I'm returning to the same point over and over again: Lynn Shepherd got the wrong footing on the problem by asking that Rowling stop writing to give the world a better chance. Because – I'm saying it again, I don't know why – there is no monopoly. Or if there is, it is something way out of a writer's control. If we look at the list of bestselling authors assembled by Wikipedia, Shakespeare and Agatha Christie are the heads of the entire tribe of writers, with sales between 2 and 4 billion units. I don't know about Christie, who seems to have grown on the hype of popular culture in the 1970s and '80s; but Shakespeare? Poor man would be gob smacked to see the extent to which his celebrity has taken his plays and poetry.
|William Shakespeare
via Wikipedia
|Agatha Christie
via www.nofemininonegocios.com
What's more important, though, Shakespeare had no contribution to the spreading of his fame, which started taking off for real only in the late seventeenth century, when he'd been mere shiny bones for about three quarters of a century. His VIP status proves once again that ceasing to write (and to live altogether, for that matter) is no guarantee that fame will plummet.
Who's the exclusivist?
It's not clear if Rowling has retaliated. It would have been hardly necessary, since her fans have taken the issue into their able hands and manufactured enough damage to go with the campaign.
You can't mess with a Lamborghini of contemporary literature and expect to get away with it. That's a simple lesson many should learn right now, before they put their minds to doing something similar. A lesson Lynn Shepherd was very much aware of (see the first paragraph of her article). But if we look at things from a certain perspective it's not even hard to see that the one who's attempting a monopoly is not Rowling, but Shepherd herself. How else could one interpret words such as these:
"By all means keep writing for kids, or for your personal pleasure – I would never deny anyone that – but when it comes to the adult market you've had your turn."
When you want to shut a door so as to keep someone out, whoever that someone may be, you're sending bad vibes around yourself. And then wait till the passionate ones react…

Scarlett Johansson to sue mag over plastic surgery claimsDecember 6th, 2007 - 5:39 pm ICT by admin
London, Dec 06 (ANI): American actress Scarlett Johansson is very angry at US Weeklys claim that she has gone under the knife.
The magazine had reported that Johansson had undergone cosmetic surgery on her nose, causing the Hollywood A-Lister to become furious and to slap them with a massive lawsuit.
Her people have labelled the tale an outrageous fabrication lacking any proof.
I have always been straightforward with the press regarding my body image and I am very concerned that my fans (and perhaps even my employers) will feel mislead. Thus, I feel compelled to take immediate legal action against US Weekly, the Sun quoted Scarlett as saying.
A full statement from her representatives reads: US Weeklys cover story regarding Scarlett Johansson and its clear implication that she has had plastic or cosmetic surgery on her nose is an outrageous and defamatory fabrication lacking any conceivable basis or proof, despite vehement denials by Ms. Johansson prior to publication.
Not surprisingly, US Weekly cannot provide the dates when she supposedly had this surgery, who performed the surgery, or what was supposedly done - all because there simply is no truth to the story.
The publication made a pathetic attempt to validate its story by using two cover photos of Scarlett that were taken years apart with obviously different make-up and lighting, and then relying on an experts opinion (based solely on looking at the two photos) on what might have been done. It wasnt. (ANI)

Desmond, oh my goodness! You are just spot on! I have seen many times and podiatrist/non- specialists in wound care ordering complex, inappropriate, non-evidence-based, and outdated wound care for their unsuspecting and trusting patients. It is very upsetting. What is going to be done about that? It leads to totally potentially harmful, costly, and unethical patient care. Are you listening, CMS?
Is A Wound Care Specialist The Best Answer For Your Patients With Wounds?
One of the truly great aspects of our profession is that in podiatric medicine, we can offer our services through a wide range of areas. Whether as a provider to our patients or as a consultant to colleagues from other disciplines, a podiatric physician's value is limitless. This is especially true when one considers the infinite good that we are capable of bringing to the medical community.
A level of expertise in areas such as orthopedics, dermatology, biomechanics, surgery, rheumatology, pediatrics, neurology and infectious diseases places demands on us that can be both exhilarating as well as problematic. Like most podiatrists, you probably feel an obligation to treat most patients who present to your practice with various conditions. It is safe to say there are subspecialties within podiatry that give you more satisfaction and enjoyment than others do.
I always thought I would love working with pediatric patients. A year into private practice, I found my initial enjoyment had turned to a complete dislike of pediatrics. I discovered this was due more to the parenting "skills" I encountered rather than the kids themselves. (Ever wonder why you have to take an exam to get a driver's license but not to become a parent?)
I digress. The point is that an obligation to treat leads us to the area of wound care and limb preservation.
Not every podiatrist enjoys wound care. Again, it is okay to not like something. I suspect that many podiatrists do not enjoy wound care yet continue to dabble in this area. Whether it is due to the perceived obligation to treat or fear of losing a patient to a competing practice, this mindset is potentially quite harmful to all.
So why do so many podiatrists and primary care physicians feel the need to manage patients with wounds when in reality, they would rather be doing anything else? The problem is widespread. It may be responsible for more poor outcomes than we recognize or realize.
Whatever the reason, if any of this sounds familiar, some self-assessment may be worthwhile. If you are currently in wound care, ask yourself: have I attended continuing education wound care programs in the past two years? Have I considered board certification in wound care?
Ask yourself if your office can offer the same advanced treatment modalities and resources that a center developed solely for wound care can offer. Are you active on the staff at local hospitals? Are you capable of following your patients to these hospitals when the inevitable complication occurs? Do you consult with other physicians, applying the team approach to wound care that not only shares needed expertise, but medical and legal liability as well?
Peter Sheehan, MD, and colleagues published a landmark paper in Diabetes Care several years ago.1 It highlights the importance of time as it relates to the healing of diabetic foot ulcers. He noted a four-week percentage change in wound area as a prognostic value in helping distinguish those who will have a difficult time in healing versus those who will heal readily, when utilizing good standard wound care.
Robert Snyder, DPM, Jason Hanft, DPM, Lawrence Lavery, DPM, and several other noted experts in the field of wound care, including Dr. Sheehan, led a consensus panel, further validating Sheehan's initial findings.2 The April 2010 Consensus Recommendations on Advancing the Standard of Care for Treating Neuropathic Foot Ulcers in Patients with Diabetes is a comprehensive guide to assist providers in an evidence-based approach to treating diabetic foot ulcers. Among the messages is that "since prolonged healing times increase the risk for morbidities, infections, hospitalization and amputation, expeditious wound closure is the primary goal in (diabetic foot ulcer) treatment."
Time truly is of the essence in wound care, whether it be the diabetic foot or some other etiology. You will not lose patients to another provider by knowing the critical importance of the team approach and when to make a timely referral to a wound specialist. You may ultimately lose patients to mortality and morbidity by not referring.
One can build rapport by referring patients to wound care specialists. You will probably become a referral source for the conditions you prefer to treat. You may even gain additional respect from providers in your community.
If this sounds too good to be true, why not find out firsthand?
1. Sheehan P, Jones P, Caselli A, Giurini JM, Veves A. Percent change in wound area of diabetic foot ulcers over a four-week period is a robust predictor of complete healing in a 12-week prospective trial. Diabetes Care. 2003; 26(6):1879-1882.
2. Snyder RJ, Kirsner RS, Warriner RA, Lavery LA, Sheehan P. Consensus recommendations on advancing the standard of care for treating neuropathic foot ulcers in patients with diabetes. Wounds. 2010; 56(Suppl 4):S1-S24.
Desmond, oh my goodness! You
BRAVO! Too many times,
BRAVO! Too many times, doctors order those outdated treatments based on something that they learned when they were young residents in medical school! Wound Care is an advanced practice and it does not consist of wet to dry dressings. Too many times, I have seen exactly what you are describing and I agree.
If you cannot accurately look at a wound or even a pressure ulcer and give your patient the best care to heal that wound, then you are out of your league!
Let someone who has the "true wound care knowledge" take care of your patient. Your patients will respect you more in the end and they will return to see you because they know you will do what it takes to help them.

Organizers said the San Antonio Pride Parade was the biggest in its 10-year history. More than 400,000 turned out for Houston Pride.
The Pride Bigger than Texas festival in San Antonio attracted about 5,000 people. That was followed by the parade on Main Avenue with more than 15,000 lining the street.
The large crowds for Pride parades around the country celebrated the Prop 8 and Defense of Marriage Act victories in the Supreme Court last week.
In New York, home of the first Pride parade 44 years ago, 2 million people typically turn out for the event. This year, the city estimated 3 million celebrated in the wake of the victories. Edie Windsor, plaintiff in the case that struck down DOMA, was grand marshal.
"I love it obviously," she said. "If someone had told me 50 years ago that I would be the marshal of New York City gay Pride parade in 2013 at the age of 84, I never would have believed it."
In California, same-sex marriage resumed on Friday. Later, Justice Anthony Kennedy, who wrote the DOMA opinion, turned down a request by the plaintiffs in the Prop 8 case to delay the beginning of marriage equality while they file a petition for rehearing by the high court.
San Francisco's Pride parade, which usually draws 1 million, attracted a few hundred thousand more participants this year.
Among those participating in the parade were House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Marriage equality passed in Delaware earlier this year and the state began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples today.

It's been said that: "People who look through keyholes are apt to get the idea that most things are keyhole shaped." We all know people who see things as black-and-white, who view the world in over-simplistic terms. By taking an all or nothing view of the world, we miss the shades of gray, the complexities of the world around us.
That is exactly the mistake Google is making with the enterprise. Rather than bothering to figure out the unique needs of businesses, Google is following a simple, two-step recipe for its business customers:
1. Create products for consumers (because that's where the ad money is).
As Dave Girouard, Google's former vice president of product management, said during his Atmosphere keynote: "Consumerization of IT is obviously the central precept of what we do.
Google first and foremost has delivered technologies for consumers that have now over the past few years become part of an enterprise suite... I think that's really what is special and different about what we're doing."
Shortchanging its Business Customers
It's kind of like taking a pre-made cake mix, stirring in an egg, and shoving the result into the oven. It may not be the best cake, but hey, it didn't require much work. Google is taking the same shortcut with its business customers. Rather than doing the legwork to find out what kind of cake would best serve the unique needs of its enterprise customers, Google serves up only one cake, and, like it or not, it's a consumer version.
Don't get me wrong; consumerization of IT is a very important trend in the enterprise. Many technologies that were once solely the domain of consumers are transforming the workplace in important ways. And it only makes sense that employees use the same social media technology at work that they're familiar with in their personal lives.
Yet consumerization of IT is just one of many trends affecting today's enterprises. The reality is that the needs of businesses are diverse and complex, and serving them properly requires a sophisticated understanding of their needs and challenges.
Unlike Microsoft, which has more than 20 years of experience serving enterprises of all sizes, Google has neither the experience nor the interest. Why? Because it derives 96 percent of its revenue from advertising, and advertising revenue comes from the consumer side of its business. As James Whittaker, a former engineering director at Google, put it: "The Google I was passionate about was a technology company that empowered its employees to innovate. The Google I left was an advertising company with a single corporate-mandated focus."
Forcing a Square Peg into a Round Hole
So what is Google's enterprise strategy? It's basically made up of four pillars—all of which spring from the company's focus on consumers:
- Pure and proven cloud—Google's "pure" cloud strategy fails to give enterprises the options they need. It may work for a small percentage of organizations. But surveys show that the majority of businesses are planning to take a hybrid approach. In addition, it's hard to argue that Google's cloud strategy is "proven." From the lack of a planned roadmap to a service level agreement (SLA) filled with caveats, Google Apps fails to meet the enterprise-ready test.
- Designed for teams—Yes, teamwork is important to the success of organizations. Yet more than half of employees spend about 70 percent of their time working alone, according to some surveys. The reality is that enterprises need a solution that fits both scenarios. That said, if teamwork is Google's focus, you'd think the company would get it right. Not so. From the ability to track changes to maintain version control by checking documents in and out, Google Apps fails to deliver some of the most common capabilities teams need.
- Productive anywhere—Mobile computing is important to both enterprises and consumers, but here again Google Apps falls short. If you're on an airplane or working remotely without Internet access, Google Apps' offline support is limited and falls well short of today's productivity expectations. If you're working on a presentation or spreadsheet, sorry but your productivity will just have to wait.
- Simple and affordable—Google Apps is so simple that frankly it's bare bones. That may be sufficient for some consumers. But for the many businesses that need more than lightweight, the costs of add-on products are quickly going to add up.
Taken together, Google's approach oversimplifies the needs of today's enterprises by assuming their needs are identical to those of consumers. In the end, it's like trying to shove a square peg into a round hole.
The Need for a Holistic IT Vision
In addition to the consumerization of IT, there are many other trends pushing businesses toward greater innovation. The cloud, big data, and the changing nature of applications, are all affecting how businesses engage with their customers, partners and employees to compete more effectively. The cloud is opening up new models of innovation, and making it much faster to deploy and deliver custom applications. Business intelligence tools are becoming more sophisticated, enabling employees to use real-time data to make more effective strategic, operational, and tactical decisions. Microsoft is uniquely positioned to support businesses as they evolve in response to this rapidly changing business and technological landscape.
At Microsoft, we treat enterprise productivity as our center business, not a side project. Accordingly, we take business cloud needs seriously. Office 365 is an enterprise-grade service, designed to meet the most rigorous requirements for security, privacy, reliability, and manageability. To learn more, please read our new white paper, "Top 10 Reasons for Enterprises to Choose Microsoft Office 365 for Your Enterprise."
When working with enterprises, Microsoft takes a customized approach, tailoring solutions to fit each business' unique needs. We don't look at technology in silo—nor do we force businesses to adopt solutions designed for consumers. By putting business before technology, we work side-by-side our customers to develop the strategies, architectural roadmap, business case, and recommendations that make sense for them. Google offers nothing like this. By comparison, Google's approach is simplistic—and it's one-size-fits-all.
Choosing Microsoft's Enterprise-Ready Solutions
No wonder so many businesses large and small choose Microsoft after examining Google—Google Apps simply isn't business ready. Says James Nolan of the James C. Nolan Law Office : "The Google applications just weren't robust enough to compete with Office Outlook functionality."
Jim Hill, Director of IT at Admiral Beverage Corp., has a similar assessment: "After testing both solutions, it's clear to us that Microsoft offers a more reliable, secure cloud-based messaging and collaboration solution than Google."
By forcing its consumer technology onto the enterprise, Google is missing the numerous shades of gray. By contrast, Microsoft gets businesses. With two decades of experience serving enterprises, we have a deep understanding of their needs, and work with them to develop unique solutions that solve the most pressing challenges they face.
Stay tuned. Over the next several weeks, we will take a closer look at Google's enterprise strategy—and contrast it with ours to show you how Google oversimplifies the needs of businesses.

Hi all
My mother came one day with a box for me. She had bought a little speaker for her phone and it came in this funny box. She thought (knowing me too well) that it could be decorated, and used for something - and off course she thought right
I decorated it with Bello Pastello papers, Prima flowers, lace, ribbon, pearls and som tags wich I cut out from Chantilly Dawn papers
The box opens in two steps. I will put some tea-bags in the top compartment you see here.
I wrote a little Winnie The Pooh quote on the side about friends
In the big compartment I will put some chocolates - and I would have a fine present for a good friend
Have a nice day

How Much Is That Auto in the Window?
Probably more than you think, even after you've agreed on a price. But it may not have to be.
Just how much will that new car really cost?
More in Wealth Adviser
The short answer: The car may cost more than you anticipated. And even more than you negotiated. Way more.
The average price of a new automobile has risen to $30,369 in 2012 from $29,882 in 2011, according to TrueCar.com. And in many instances, hundreds or perhaps thousands of dollars go to features and fees that often aren't mentioned by the dealer until after the buyer has the impression the negotiating is over. "It enables the dealer to enhance their gross profits on every car they sell," says Earl Stewart, the owner of a Toyota dealership in North Palm Beach, Fla., who has lobbied to reform his industry.
That's not to say the extras aren't worth it or the fees aren't justified. But the pros suggest that buyers, before committing, always ask for an "out-the-door" price—a price that includes all of the add-ons, before mandated sales taxes and license fees.
This will give you a basis for comparison when shopping for a better deal with another dealer. What's more, whenever you're presented with the final sales contract, look at each line item to see how that out-the-door price was arrived at. It's possible some items could still be negotiable.
With that in mind, here are some of the major expenses a car buyer is likely to see on the final invoice, and what experts say buyers should know about those items. Consider it a "road map" to the auto-buying experience. Happy shopping (and negotiating).

Concealed handguns won't be allowed on Texas Wesleyan University's campus.
That's what Wesleyan President Frederick G. Slabach on Friday decided — after gathering feedback from students and faculty at the private school over the past few months — and the university board of trustees affirmed.
"Texas Wesleyan's current weapons policy will not change and our campus will remain gun free," Slabach said in a letter to students, faculty and staff.
Texas Wesleyan's decision comes as private colleges across the state are trying to answer the same question of whether to allow concealed handguns on their campus.
Our campus will remain gun free.
Wesleyan President Frederick G. Slabach
Already, a number of private universities — including Texas Christian University, Rice University and the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth — have determined that their campuses will be off-limits to anyone carrying concealed handguns.
A number of students and professors agreed with the trustees' decision.
"Our university is about one thing and one thing only: education," said Jay Brown, a psychology professor at Texas Wesleyan. "It's about faculty teaching and students learning. Anything that interferes with that process shouldn't be there."
Lyndsey Bessinger, a junior and resident assistant at Wesleyan, said she had mixed feelings about the issue.
"I personally saw merit in campus carry," the Fort Worth junior said. "(But) it would have scary to have guns on campus ... roommates could always get a hold of them.
"I would have supported a decision either way."
Starting in August, Texas becomes one of a handful of states allowing concealed weapons to be carried on some college campuses, along with Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon, Utah and Wisconsin, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
This has been an increasingly controversial issue in Texas since lawmakers passed a "campus carry" law, letting licensed Texans carry concealed handguns into buildings at public universities as of August and at community colleges in 2017.
Private colleges have the ability to opt out; public universities may create gun-free zones on part, but not all, of the campus.
Starting in August, Texas becomes one of a handful of states allowing concealed weapons to be carried on some college campuses.
A separate measure allowing licensed Texans to openly carry holstered handguns throughout the state as of earlier this month does not apply to college campuses.
OK to carry in some classrooms
Texans with concealed handgun licenses have been able to carry on college campuses, but not in buildings, since lawmakers approved the concealed handgun law 20 years ago, lawmakers say.
This new measure lets them carry them into dorms or classrooms, instead of requiring them to take their handguns back to their vehicles before entering the buildings.
The only people legally allowed to carry concealed handguns on campus are those who have a concealed handgun permit, meaning they are at least 21 and have met requirements including training and proficiency tests.
Officials at public colleges have said the plan could cost nearly $50 million in coming years — because additional officers, training, storage facilities and security technology would be needed — and that expense that might be passed to students.
Wesleyan has held a series of open forums and reviewed feedback from students, staff and faculty, as well as discussing the issue with the Student Government Association, Alumni Association Board, the Student Life Committee and the Board of Trustees Academic Affairs.
925,000 people in Texas are licensed to carry a weapon.
Slabach's letter to the campus noted that "the overwhelming majority of feedback" was to not allow campus carry.
He said many security upgrades have been made at the campus in the past two years, including adding 38 security cameras, electronic gates and fences around dorms, enhanced lighting across campus, a full-time security dispatcher, five security officers providing round-the-close security and additional off-duty Fort Worth police officers who monitor the campus and basketball and soccer games.
And he said six emergency call boxes will be installed around campus by mid-March.
Omar Dominguez, a student life ambassador and junior at Wesleyan, said he believes security guards protect those on campus.
"I trust Wesleyan security," he said. "They can handle the job."
Campus reaction varies
In Texas, more than 925,000 people, around 4 percent of the state's 27 million residents, have a license to carry, according to the most recent Texas Department of Public Safety statistics.
Whatever the numbers, Zahraa Saheb, a 19-year-old junior originally from Iraq, said she's very glad trustees made Texas Wesleyan off limits to guns.
"Originally from Iraq, I grew up with guns," said Saheb, vice president of the TWU Student Government Association. "I don't want to be in a room with guns that could harm me or my peers."
Not everyone agrees.
I fear for my life ... when I go to class every day.
Alcira Katagiri, Wesleyan student from Arlington
During a campus carry forum last year, Alcira Katagiri, a 23-year-old junior from Arlington, said this is about public safety.
"I fear for my life ... when I go to class every day," he said. "Why not give us the possibility, the potential, to defend ourselves?"
And Breanna Lockwood said she understands that many people are afraid of guns, but that fear isn't worth sacrificing anyone's life.
"Fear does not trump a God given right, a constitutional right," said the 20-year-old Arlington junior who plans to get a concealed handgun license as soon as she's 21. "We are not safe anywhere any more. That's just the harsh reality."
Even so, Dennis Hall, dean of students at Wesleyan, said the majority of people he spoke with about campus carry hoped the college would opt out.
"It's a scary proposition to think about ... guns on any college campus," he said. "I'm often speaking with students during very emotional, challenging times.
"Not having to have that worry (of anyone carrying a concealed handgun), ... not installing metal detectors, ... there's a certain amount of relief that comes with that."

If you're reading this, you likely visit Wikipedia all the time as one of the 500 million unique visitors it receives every month as of the most recent count. In an internet filled with random stuff, Wikipedia's our central repository. The English language Wikipedia has 5,144,209 articles as of this writing, and worldwide over 39 million in 250 different languages. The source for all these stats? I think you know.
There's hardly anything you can search for that doesn't produce a Wikipedia hit, and since its founding 15 years ago on January 15, 2001, by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, it's turned out to be a remarkably accurate resource considering that anyone can write and edit its articles. A study by Nature in 2005 concluded it was about as accurate as the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Beyond attempting to be accurate, Wikipedia's only filters are unconscious ones belonging to writer and editors. Anything can wind up there, and often does. So out of all of these articles that cover every topic under the sun, what does the Wikipedia community consider to be the unusual, weird ones? Well, there's a Wikipedia page called "Wikipedia: Unusual Articles." In order to qualify, articles have to meet these criteria:
- The article is something you would not expect to find in a standard encyclopedia.
- The subject is an unusual combination of concepts, such as cosmic latte, death from laughter, etc.
- The subject is an anomaly—something that defies common sense, common expectations or common knowledge, such as Bir Tawil, Märket, Phineas Gage, List of snow events in Florida, etc.
- The subject is well-documented for unexpected notoriety or an unplanned cult following at extreme levels, such as Ampelmännchen or All your base are belong to us.
- The subject is a notorious hoax, such as Sokal affair or Mary Toft.
- The subject might be found amusing, though serious.
- The article is a list or collection of articles or subjects meeting the criteria above.
A lot of what's in this massive collection is just deeply, deeply obscure. And a lot of it is bizarre. Here's where you can read about the jumping Frenchmen of Maine, figure out what hallucinogenic jenkem is, or find out why Dr. Strangelove's hand kept doing what it did in the movie of the same name. These are just a few examples from the Medicine & Heath section.
Maybe you've already heard about the Klerksdorp sphere, small mysterious spheroid objects found in 3-billion-year-old deposits mined near Ottosdal, South Africa. Some think they're evidence of ancient astronauts—geologists say, "Naw."
Robert Huggett
How about an amazing poem that reveals the tonal wonder that is the Chinese language? Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den uses only a single word, "shi," repeated 92 times. Even so, thanks to the word's many tones and their distinct meanings, it's completely understandable to a native Chinese speaker.
Planning a summer visit to Centralia? Maybe don't. Beneath this town in Pennsylvania is a fire that's been burning since 1962.
The "Wikipedia: Unusual Articles" page is packed with odd stuff—I haven't thought of "no soap radio" since school—and it's hard to imagine anyone not finding something here they don't want to forget. And maybe a few things they do.

International Whaling Commission (IWC)
The world's great whales were hunted to near extinction in the previous century, and despite a global moratorium on commercial whaling, several countries continue to whale commercially - Norway and Iceland using objections to the moratorium, Japan under the guise of 'scientific research'.
The International Whaling Commission is the body charged with regulating whaling, and increasingly dealing with the vast number of other threats to whales, dolphins and porpoises in our oceans such as shipping, climate change, and bycatch the incidental capture of these animals in fishing gear. WWF is working to make the IWC more effective in reducing all these threats to whales.

Wheeler County elections clerk Barbara Sitton said unofficial results show Humphreys garnered 453 of the 824 votes cast. Write-in candidates received 372 votes, with most of them going to chief deputy Mike Garibay. Because he lacked the requisite length of experience in law enforcement to qualify for the ballot, Garibay had to run as a write-in, officials said.
"It was a long, hard campaign, but I guess nothing comes easy,'' Humphreys said. "But I'm very, very happy."
The sheriff's office has three full time positions, a sheriff and two deputies. Emergency calls for the rural Northeastern Oregon county are dispatched through Gilliam County. Wheeler County's population is approximately 1,500, Sitton said. The town of Fossil is the county seat.
Humphreys, 37, worked as a Wheeler County sheriff's deputy for three years before joining Portland police in February 1999, where he was an officer for 11 years. He was the first to file paperwork on Feb. 10 for the position of Wheeler County sheriff.
On his website, Humphreys said he grew up in Spray, graduating from Spray High School and marrying his high school sweetheart. In 2005, his brother Paul, a deputy sheriff, was killed in a car crash.
He was medically laid off from the Portland Police Bureau Nov. 23, 2010, because of the length of time he was off work collecting disability payments – a move the city is taking more often to ensure officers or firefighters on long-term disability don't remain on city staffing rolls forever.
Yet, as allowed, he continued to receive disability checks, recently collecting monthly checks of $1,546.86. Humphreys retired for medical reasons from the Portland police last year, according to a police department spokesman.
But as of April 7, Humphreys "no longer meets the eligibility criteria" for disability benefits after a medical report confirmed he's "now able to perform the required duties of his job," according to Portland's public safety fund.
"I'm more than capable of being an officer, but I do not want to be an officer in Portland," Humphreys told The Oregonian in April.
Humphreys was at the center of the city's most expensive settlement in recent history after a mentally ill man, James Chasse Jr., died in police custody in 2006, after he suffered numerous injuries after being tackled by officers. The case ended in 2010, when the city agreed to pay Chasse's estate $1.6 million.
Humphreys again faced scrutiny in 2009, when he shot a 12-year-old girl in the leg at close range with a beanbag gun after she punched another officer in the face. He was suspended during the department's investigation but was cleared of wrongdoing.

With the new release of Docker Datacenter 2.1 it's clear the Docker is very serious about the enterprise and providing the tooling that is very easy to use. Docker has made the leap to supporting enterprise applications with its embedded security and ease of use. DCC 2.1 and Docker-engine-cs 1.13 give the additional control needed for operations and development teams to control their own experience.
Docker datacenter continues to build on containers as a service. In the 1.12 release of DDC it enabled agility and portability for continuous integration and started on the journey of protecting the development supply chain throughout the whole lifecycle. The new release of DDC's focuses on security, specifically secret management.
The previous version of DDC already had wealth of security features
• LDAP/AD integration
• Role based access control for teams
• SS0 and push/pull images with Docker Trusted Registry
• Imaging signing – prevent running a container unless image signed by member of a designated
• Out of the box TLS with easy setup, including cert rotation.
With the DDC 2.1 the march on security is being made successful by allowing both operations and developers to have a usable system without having to lean into security for support and help. The native integration with the management plane allows for end to end container lifecycle management. You also inherit the model that's independent no matter the infrastructure you're running on it will work. It can be made to be dynamic and ephemeral like the containers it's managing. This is why I feel PAAS is dead. With so much choice and security you don't have to limit yourself where you deploy to, a very similar design decision to Nutanix by enabling choice. Choice gives you access to more developers and the freedom to color outside the lines of the guardrails that a PAAS solution may empose.
Docker Datacenter Secrets Architecture
1) Everything in the store is encrypted, notably that includes all of the data that is stored in the orchestration . With least privlege — only node is distributed to the containers that need them. Since the management mayor is scalable you also get that for your key management as well. Due to the management layer being so easy to set up you don't have developers embedding secrets in Github to get a quick work around.
2) Containers and the filesystem makes secret only available to only the designated app . Docker expose secrets to the application via a file system that is stored in memory. The same rotation of certificates for the management letter also happens with the certificates for the application. In the diagram above the red service only talks of the red service and the blue service is isolated by itself even though it's running on the same node as the red service/application.
3) If you decide that you want to integrate with a third-party application like Twitter and be easily done. Your Twitter credentials can be stored in the raft cluster which is your manager nodes. When you go to create the twitter app you give it access to the credentials and even do a "service-update" if you need swap them out without the need to touch every node in your environment.
With a simple interface for both developers and IT operations both have a pain-free way to do their jobs and provide a secure environment. By not creating road blocks and slowing down development or operations teams will get automatic by in.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Heat an outdoor grill or grill pan to high. If cooking indoors, char the peppers over an open gas flame on the stove top or under a hot broiler. Char the peppers until blackened all over, then put them in bowl and cover with plastic wrap to cool. If cooking outside, char peppers over the hot area of the grill.
Meanwhile, in food processor combine the wine, rosemary, red pepper flakes, garlic and mustard. With the processor running, slowly stream in the extra-virgin olive oil to make a marinade. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the chicken to a resealable plastic bag and pour in 1/3 of the marinade and turn to coat. Add the mushrooms and onions to a small bowl and pour in the remaining marinade.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 12 minutes. Grill the mushrooms and onions until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes and char the tomatoes the last 3 to 4 minutes of cook time.
Remove the chicken from the grill to a cutting board and slice on an angle. Serve 1 1/2 thighs per person or 1 breast per person. Pile the chicken on the roll bottoms.
Top the chicken with smoked cheese and sliced grilled mushrooms and onions, and squished fire-charred tomato. Peel, seed and chop the peppers and put them on top of the tomato. Sprinkle with a little parsley and cover with the roll tops.
If you're felling ambitious, you can puree the peppers in food processor to make them saucy. Serve the panini with olive oil potato chips alongside.

The Rt Rev Bob Duncan, Moderator, Anglican Communion Network - Bishop of Pittsburgh, USA
Your Grace and my Lords, Guests, Spouses, Brothers and Sisters.
I greet you in the precious Name of Jesus Christ, My Lord and Saviour (and yours). I am here because I met Jesus in my teen years and gave myself to Him at University.
I greet you as a brother who knows what you know:
"that there is no other foundations that anyone can lay, except that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." (I Cor 3:11)
I greet you as a fellow apostle:
"who seeks only to know Christ Jesus – and him crucified – with ourselves as your servant for Jesus' sake."
I greet you as Bishop of Pittsburgh:
That great missionary diocese, home to the greatest concentration of missionary organizations in the United States, home to Trinity School (of which some of you are graduates); from them and from my clergy and people I bring you greeting.
I also greet you as Moderator of the Anglican Communion Network – and it is chiefly because of this office that I am here. I must acknowledge the kindness and support of His grace, the Chairman of CAPA, the Archbishop of All Nigeria, the Most Revd Peter Jasper Akinola, in his generous invitation which brings me to this First African Anglican Bishops' Conference.
The Anglican Communion Network represents 10 dioceses, 1000 parishes, and 1200 clergy across the Unites States – orthodox and faithful Anglicans all.
We also stand with orthodox allies of the Anglican Diaspora in the States. I want to say to you that – with the three young men of Daniel, Chapter 3 – "We will not bow down." "We know that our God can save us. But if not, be it known to you (O king) that we will not bow down…."
I know it is hard for you in Africa to understand that a Primate would not speak for all his people. I tell you clearly that the Primate in the United States and the Primate in Canada do not speak for all their people. There are tens of thousands for whom I speak, who are at one with you in Africa, for whom our North American Primates do not speak.
I come not only to greet you, but also to thank you:
To thank you for myself, and for the tens of thousands I lead.
I come to thank you for your steadfastness, for your courage, for your perseverance, for your suffering.
I come to thank you for your right hand of fellowship.
I come also to ask for forgiveness:
For the trouble we in the West – especially in the US – have caused you.
I come to ask your forgiveness for the distraction from your work that we have been. You have faced wars, refugees, soaring debt, poverty, famine, disease, HIV-AIDS – and we have distracted you from your gospel ministry.
I have come to ask your forgiveness for our complicity – the complicity of the orthodox – in the West's unfaithfulness. For too long we were far too silent, made too many compromises.
Forgive us too, for our "ease in Zion", while the poor have suffered, while justice has gone undone – forgive us we ask you and ask the Lord.
I have also come to ask your forgiveness for the evils of our culture, now a global culture – exported to you daily electronically.
Forgive us, for our part in it all.
I have come to work and to weep and to rejoice with you.
Of St Paul in the 12th Chapter of 1st Corinthians (v. 26) says that "when one weeps all should weep, and when one is honoured all should rejoice."
I am here – and those who have come with me either physically or by greeting and intercession – to listen to you and to Africa's concerns. (This Conference is not about North America. Thank God it is about Africa – at last, Africa comes of age). I have come to worship and to listen and to learn. I - and our Network – have come to seek to be your partner in the gospel (as you have already been ours).
Above all, I have come to thank God in this historic moment. To thank Him that the day of this 1st African Anglican Bishop Conference has finally come.
To thank God that Africa has finally come of age – and with that coming of age – there is a new and better future ahead for Anglicanism, as well.
To God be the glory that African Anglicanism has come of age and that an extraordinary new day is dawning for all.
God bless you all in your work this week.

Last week I wrote a column advocating for players I thought the Yankees should consider this offseason, and the group — Carlos Beltran, Scott Hairston, Torii Hunter, Jeff Keppinger and A.J. Pierzynski — essentially shared one item in common:
They were all older players.
Hairston and Keppinger were the babies in the bunch, and both are due to turn 33 early next season.
The most common complaint I heard via email and Twitter to these suggestions — and by complaints I mean folks who called me "idiot" were the nicest of those responding — was that the Yankees need to get younger, which, in theory, is true.
Now, here is my question back to those nice folks: How exactly do they do that? Is there a Young Player Store between The Gap and Banana Republic at the mall that I don't know about?
Because you have to play at least six years in the majors to be a free agent, you generally don't find young players in that market. And those who are young-ish and quality will need contracts of six years or more, taking them into baseball old age.
The trade market? Maybe. But there is more money in the game than ever, spread among more teams. In other words, clubs can afford to keep and, in general, pay their best young players, and they don't become available on the market the way they once did.
And, if they do, the Yankees no longer are the only team with the resources to obtain such players and keep them long term. Thus, this is not a field the Yankees simply can expect to dominate any longer.
Lastly, if you want to acquire someone — such as San Diego's talented switch-hitter Chase Headley, who turns 29 in May — the cost is going to be four high-level prospects, thus, defeating the very premise you claim to want — protecting young players.
Remember, the Yankees obtained Curtis Granderson at age 29 for three youngsters — Phil Coke, Austin Jackson and Ian Kennedy — and now many Yankees fans would like to reverse that trade.
That is why I recommended targeting a few older players. Not because I do not see the need for the Yankees to get younger, more athletic and more diversified in their offensive approach, but because you have to be realistic about what is available and the cost and likelihood of obtaining it.
Yes, the Yankees could get younger in 2013 by removing a bunch of older players and replacing them with, well, what? It would seem unlikely that they could get younger and still build a team that can win 95 games. And, I suspect, there would not be much tolerance in the Yankees-sphere for winning 83 games in the name of prettier birth certificates.
The players I recommended are attractive because they still are performing at a high level and you probably would not have to commit to them for more than two years at the most. This is not getting married to a guy in his mid-to-late-30s for five or six years.
One reason the Yankees won the AL East this year was because of shrewd one-year commitments to older players such as Eric Chavez, Raul Ibanez, Hiroki Kuroda, Andy Pettitte and Ichiro Suzuki. And for the ones that did not work out as well — think Freddy Garcia and Andruw Jones — the commitments expired after just one year. In other words, it is not the bad gift that keeps on giving.
The Yankees' farm system is not ready to provide high-end youngsters. Pitchers Manny Banuelos, Dellin Betances and Michael Pineda took huge steps back either for physical or production reasons. The best of the Yankees' position prospects — Tyler Austin, Dante Bichette Jr., Slade Heathcott, Gary Sanchez, Ravel Santana and Mason Williams — are at least two years away.
Thus, the Yankees have to find a way to stall until something talented and young comes along. The best way to do that is by plugging short term with experienced players who you believe can play here, are motivated and still have high-end production left. Kind of like what they got with Ibanez, Kuroda, Pettitte, etc.
To blame the Yankees' postseason ouster on too many old players is pushing a theory and ignoring reality. Yes, Alex Rodriguez turned decrepit and Derek Jeter broke down. But prime-aged players such as Robinson Cano, Granderson and Nick Swisher were futile, too. Phil Hughes, age 26, had to exit a playoff start with a back injury.
It is better to bet on the physical health and higher ceiling of youngsters, but Pineda, Banuelos, Brett Gardner, David Robertson and Ivan Nova were all twentysomethings who missed a chunk or all of last season. There is something to be said of the dedicated, professional veteran who knows how to prepare his body and get through the season, and the Yankees picked well in that area.
It is possible for the Yankees to do a hybrid construction in which, say, they add some veterans and trade Granderson for a few young pieces. For example, if the Yankees traded for Beltran, signed Hunter and re-signed Ichiro, they could play that trio plus Gardner in an outfield rotation that likely is to be productive in 2013. Then they could market Granderson with the idea of obtaining the best youngsters — pitchers or hitters — possible.
For example, Texas (if it loses Josh Hamilton), San Francisco (if it loses Angel Pagan), Atlanta (if it loses Michael Bourn), Washington and Philadelphia are among win-now teams that could be willing to give up something significant for a year of Granderson.
But the Yankees also are a win-now team and, thus, can't trade Granderson unless they are well covered without him. The Young Player Store is not open. They again have to do well shopping for older players.

Britney Spears releases statement against bodyguard suing for sexual harassment
Britney Spears is reportedly denying all claims that she harassed her bodyguard and inflicted abuse on her children.
Britney Spears' bodyguard, Fernando Flores, sued the comeback queen for alleged sexual harassment and emotional distress. But the more serious accusation of physical abuse towards her children is what's really disgusting.
Have no fear, Spears is finally speaking up for herself and her kids, denying all the allegations.
In an official statement released on Britney Spears' website, the singer blasted Fernando Flores. "This lawsuit is another unfortunate situation where someone is trying to take advantage of the Spears family and make a name for himself."
The statement continued, "The Department of Children and Family Services conducted a proper investigation surrounding Mr Flores' accusations and have closed the case without any further action. Ms Spears and her attorneys have every expectation that this matter will be dismissed by the courts."
According to reports, Flores is claiming that Spears repeatedly "exposed herself" to him, walked around her home in the buff, participated in "sex acts" in front of him and "savagely hit" her little boy Sean Preston with the bodyguard's belt.
Flores is also allegedly claiming Britney Spears made "unwanted sexual advances" toward him and is seeking unspecified damages.
In an interesting twist, Britney Spears' ex, Kevin Federline, is jumping to the singer's defense. Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told the Associated Press that the "allegations are a product of economic motives. They are as baseless as they seem."
Kaplan added, "I think that the timing of this and the nature of the allegations speak for themselves."
A rep for Spears could not be reached for comment at this time.

Anthropology is the study of the origin, development, and behavior of humankind. Specifically, this study provides the unique basis for the four major anthropological fields of study: Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, and most recently, Applied Anthropology. Regardless of which field of study is chosen, student's gain solid anthropological knowledge of human cultural behavior and human-environment interaction. This broad understanding of culture behavior and human interaction provides for preparation for work in all sectors of the economy including business, government, education, and the nonprofit. These opportunities may include contract archaeology, jobs that involve working with other cultures, and employment requiring general skills of social science.
Ecological and environmental anthropology at the University of Georgia examines the past and present reciprocal relationship between humans and the natural world. Our archaeological, biological and cultural anthropology investigations yield critical knowledge of diverse dimensions of the human experience that we then apply in socially relevant ways.
Here at UGA, students can either major or minor in anthropology. Those who major in anthropology receive a Bachelors of Arts degree. All students majoring in anthropology must take ANTH 1102 (Introduction to Anthropology) or ANTH 2120H (Honors Introduction to Anthropology) as a prerequisite to major courses. Under the semester system, the major in anthropology requires at least one course in each of the three main subfields (biological, cultural, archaeological) plus additional elective courses in anthropology.
Beyond the Classroom
A good way to bolster your resume and find out more about anthropology is to get involved in professors' research in the field or in their laboratories. Many professors are willing to have undergraduates volunteer or participate in work-study in their research, and some even hire undergraduate workers. The best thing to do is just ask! Each week the department will have talks and other scheduled activities that you are welcome to join. See flyers posted in Baldwin Hall for details.

Magic Mushrooms
Added Apr 25, 2013
by Ezzles
Sydney, Australia
About a year ago, pambox and I went to a fabric market called Fabricabrac in Petersham, and one of my finds of the day was the fabulous mushroom fabric I've used in the inserts of this skirt. My other find was the great French market fabric I used for my Market Day skirt.
The mushroom fabric was a very small piece, so I've just been hanging onto it for a year, not sure what to do with it. I was going through our pattern drawer the other day and found Pam's Study Hall Skirt pattern. I had plenty of fabric for the mushroom inserts and bottom hem band,The mushroom is quite a heavy cotton, so I though it would be good in a winter skirt. A trip to Spotlight later and I had this lovely dark pink corduroy for the main colour.
This skirt has a very odd construction and I had to grade it up a couple of sizes, but with such simple shapes that didn't prove too difficult. I ended up leaving off the bottom hem band and just hemming the skirt instead. The obvious stripe of mushrooms didn't lend itself well to the curved shape of the band, and using a straight piece wasn't working either. I am very happy with the skirt as is, though!

Love the little mushrooms! Good way to incorporate expensive prints xx

The mushrooms weren't an expensive print, but it would definitely be a good way to use them. I think the pattern called for less than a yard of the contrast even for the XL size. I used even less than that since I didn't do the bottom hem band – so probably half a metre would be enough for the inserts.

2NE1's Sandara Park takes a break to strum her guitar
Yesterday, 2NE1 member Sandara Park posted a photo on her Twitter page with the caption, "Whenever I'm lonely and depressed my friend guitar that always stays by my side. Although it's still an embarrassing level to show on stage, I like playing the guitar very much. I feel better. So that's why this kid's name is Vitamin. My Vitamin~."
Netizens who came across Sandara Park's guitar playing photo responded, "I want to listen to Sandara Park playing the guitar," "Please post up a video clip next time~" "Sandara Park plays the guitar too" "Her immersed appearance looks good" "Sandara Park is only holding the guitar but it looks like a photoshoot."
2NE1 is planning to have their first fan club event in Japan this October.

Devonshire takes its name from the location of its first offices near Devonshire Street in Boston, near the site of the 1770 Boston Massacre, and in commemoration of the Great Boston Fire of 1872 that devastated most of downtown.
Devonshire Research Group, LLC ("Devonshire") is an investment firm specialized in using large scale machine learning, data mining, and deep learning analytical methods across 1,000's of datasets to determine the long-term viability of technologies, and to assess their competitive advantages.
A long time investor and observer of venture capital-backed and advanced technology companies, Devonshire is a strong believer that many companies and their investors take shortcuts in the race to build and demonstrate value. In today's market of multi-billion dollar tech "Unicorns", many investors push otherwise skilled entrepreneurs to over-hire and backfill capabilities rather than invest in building them organically or by acquisition. The "build vs. buy" decisions of old have been replaced by modern theories of "acquihire and pivot later."
The tech industry has lost its kill switch. In a post-tipping point marketplace where scale is achieved faster than ever before, technology platforms have often become "winner-take-all" propositions. However, in a zero sum market, the displaced technologies are rarely priced accordingly: with "loser-lose-all" adjustments to their valuations. Devonshire specializes in finding companies whose products and technologies are over-hyped, whose research pipelines are past their prime, and whose competitors have achieved insurmountable – but often opaque – scale advantages.
Technology is frequently misunderstood and consequently valued by inappropriate drivers, including social media mentions, polished marketing presentations, and promotional hype. While fundamental analysis of other industries frequently involves classic financial analysis, tech sector valuations are rarely linked directly to operating or financial metrics. This makes classical multiple, financial, cash flow based valuations difficult, if not impossible assessments of enterprise value. Consequently, since the technologies underlying the company's reputation are difficult to analyze from a DCF perspective, valuation rarely has any fundamental component.
Devonshire has a different way to value tech companies, involving the analysis of decades of downloaded engineering, social, IP, legal, trade, and regulatory data. Rather than speculating on the movements of tech company valuations based on website, mobile app, or marketing hype, Devonshire uses deep data mining and semantic analytic methods to extract trends that don't normally rise above the day-to-day noise of social media and press.
In a world of long-biased securities, long-only asset managers, and "long-short" fund managers whose portfolios are 2-4x biased long, the art of the short selling is a coveted, if not rare and disappearing skillset. Naively misbranded in media as "un-patriotic" and "evil", associated with "naked shorting", the short seller is frequently misunderstood. We believe the markets need a data-driven, "white-gloved" short seller persona, backed with world class analytics.
We've invested in building datasets and tools that focus exclusively on short selling, and we use these to uncover misvalued companies, expose strategic errors by management, and when necessary, bring these observations to the public investor. We believe investors deserve a better skeptic, to counter the overwhelming information overload of pitch decks, promotional schemes, and - in some cases - well-intentioned but strategically erroneous management plans.
Devonshire's investment strategy uses a combination of short-centric market-facing quantitative data, as well as vast datasets of bearish and short-side indicators. We aggregate these with an intentional bias towards uncovering and generating short side signals.
We follow our own investment advice. In the neverending debate between who to trust, short sellers who might just be seeking to profit from the depression of securities' prices out of their own self-interest, or independent research analyst might be simply in a marketing game to collect sell-side fees, we're taking a position. When we publish research, we invest our clients and our own money alongside the research. We disclose our strategy, and we have nothing to hide.
Devonshire's reputation and brand for quality counter-point narratives in a market full of hyperbole, click-bait, and media hype mean more than short term profits. Our goal is to pursue sustainable short centric alpha generation; that's the Devonshire Research Group edge.

JAS Poll: On Merit Selection, Voters Oppose Amending KS Constitution
Sixty-one percent of Kansas voters, including majorities of Republicans and of Democrats, oppose rewriting the state Constitution to change the process for choosing Kansas Supreme Court justices, a new poll commissioned by Justice at Stake showed.
"Kansans don't want to tamper with their constitution," Bert Brandenburg, JAS executive director, said in a press release on Wednesday. "They want their judges chosen based on their qualifications, not partisan politics.
"They're not comfortable vesting so much power in the hands of a governor, even one that they like," Brandenburg added. "They'd rather see judges go through an interview process that identifies the best candidates before, not after, the governor makes his pick."
Under the state's existing merit selection system, a nominating commission screens candidates for Supreme Court judgeships and recommends finalists to the governor for appointment.
JAS issued the poll findings as the Kansas legislature was beginning hearings on a major change proposed to merit selection.
When Gov. Sam Brownback unveiled his legislative agenda this week, he called for revising the way top judges are chosen, according to a Kansas.com article. He urged adoption of a proposal providing for direct election of judges for high-level courts or appointment by the governor, subject to Senate confirmation. "Either (system) passes the democracy test that the current system fails," he said.
Brownback is a Republican. House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Democrat, countered, "He is now engineering a far-right takeover of the judicial branch in an effort to solidify his absolute unfettered control of Kansas government." Republicans control the executive and legislative branches.1 comment

The state Constitution was rewritten to change how judges are selected. That's how we got this undemocratic flawed system that we have. Prior to the 1950's judges were elected. Having an unelected, secret panel decide who gets to be a judge is not the way to pick judicial candidates. Kansas does not use a "merit" system, they use a lawyer gets to pick the judge system.
