Scallop Packets with Creamy Wine Sauce
This is a well-seasoned dish that has an underpinning of dairy and a shot of spicy Gewürztraminer wine.
How to Make It
Combine first 4 ingredients in a large zip-top heavy-duty plastic bag; stir well. Add scallops to bag; seal bag, and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.
Bring wine to a simmer in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add lettuce leaves; cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 3 minutes or until lettuce wilts. Remove from heat; remove lettuce from skillet with a slotted spoon, reserving wine.
Spoon 1/2 cup scallop mixture onto center of each lettuce leaf. Fold in 4 sides of lettuce to cover scallop mixture, forming a packet.
Add clam juice, vinegar, and bay leaf to reserved wine in skillet, and bring to a boil. Carefully place each lettuce packet, seam side down, in the skillet. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Remove packets with a slotted spoon, and place on individual serving plates. Discard bay leaf.
Bring cooking liquid to a boil over medium-high heat; cook 7 minutes or until reduced to 2 tablespoons. Remove from heat; scrape bottom of skillet with a wooden spoon to loosen browned bits. Gradually add yogurt to skillet, stirring with a wire whisk until smooth. Spoon 2 tablespoons sauce around each packet; top with 1 tablespoon bell pepper. Serve immediately.

In this section, we'll examine UDP, how it works, and what it does. We encourage you to refer back to "Principles of Network Applications", which contains an overview of the UDP service model, and to "Socket Programming with UDP", which discusses socket programming using UDP.
To motivate our discussion about UDP, assume you were interested in designing a no-frills, bare-bones transport protocol. How might you go about doing this? You might first look at using a vacuous transport protocol. Particularly, on the sending side, you might look at taking the messages from the application process and passing them directly to the network layer; and on the receiving side, you might look at taking the messages arriving from the network layer and passing them directly to the application process. But as we studied in the previous section, we have to do a little more than nothing. At the very least, the transport layer has to provide a multiplexing/demultiplexing service in order to pass data between the network layer and the correct application-level process.
UDP does just about as little as a transport protocol can do. Apart from the multiplexing/demultiplexing function and some light error checking, it adds nothing to IP. In reality, if the application developer chooses UDP instead of TCP, then the application is almost directly talking with IP. UDP takes messages from the application process, attaches source and destination port number fields for the multiplexing/demultiplexing service, adds two other small fields, and passes the resulting segment to the network layer. The network layer encapsulates the transport-layer segment into an IP datagram and then makes a best-effort attempt to deliver the segment to the receiving host. If the segment arrives at the receiving host, UDP uses the destination port number to deliver the segment's data to the correct application process. Note that with UDP there is no handshaking between sending and receiving transport-layer entities before sending a segment. Therefore, UDP is said to be connectionless.
DNS is an instance of an application-layer protocol that normally uses UDP. When the DNS application in a host wants to make a query. it creates a DNS query message and passes the message to UDP. Without performing any handshaking with the UDP entity running on the destination end system, the host-side UDP adds header fields to the message and passes the resulting segment to the network layer. The network layer encapsulates the UDP segment into a datagram and sends the datagram to a name server. The DNS application at the querying host then waits for a reply to its query. If it doesn't receive a reply (possibly because the underlying network lost the query or the reply), either it tries sending the query to another name server, or it informs the invoking application that it can't get a reply.
Now you might be wondering why an application developer would ever choose to build an application over UDP rather than over TCP. Isn't TCP always preferable, since TCP offers a reliable data transfer service, while UDP does not? The answer is no, as many applications are better suited for UDP for the following reasons:
● Finer application-level control over what data is sent, and when. Under UDP, as soon as an application process passes data to UDP, UDP will package the data inside a UDP segment and immediately pass the segment to the network layer. TCP, however, has a congestion-control mechanism that throttles the transport-layer TCP sender when one or more links between the source and destination hosts become very congested. TCP will also continue to resend a segment until the receipt of the segment has been acknowledged by the destination, regardless of how long reliable delivery takes. Since real-time applications sometimes require a minimum sending rate, do not want to overly delay segment transmission, and can tolerate some data loss, TCPs service model is not particularly well matched to these applications needs. As discussed below, these applications can use UDP and implement, as part of the application, any additional functionality that is required beyond UDP's no-frills segment-delivery service.
● No connection establishment. As well discuss later, TCP uses a three-way handshake before it starts to transfer data. UDP just blasts away without any formal preliminaries. Therefore UDP does not introduce any delay to establish a connection. This is perhaps the principal reason why DNS runs over UDP rather than TCP - DNS would be much slower if it ran over TCP. HTTP uses TCP rather than UDP, since reliability is critical for Web pages with text. But, as we briefly discussed in "The Web and HTTP", the TCP connection-establishment delay in HTTP is an important contributor to the delays associated with downloading Web documents.
● No connection state. TCP maintains connection state in the end systems. This connection state includes receive and send buffers, congestion-control parameters, and sequence and acknowledgment number parameters. We will see in "Connection-Oriented Transport: TCP" that this state information is required to implement TCP's reliable data transfer service and to provide congestion control. UDP, however, does not maintain connection state and does not track any of these parameters. That's why, a server devoted to a particular application can normally support many more active clients when the application runs over UDP rather than TCP
● Small packet header overhead. The TCP segment has 20 bytes of header overhead in every segment, whereas UDP has only 8 bytes of overhead.
Figure 1 lists popular Internet applications and the transport protocols that they use. As we expect, e-mail, remote terminal access, the Web, and file transfer run over TCP - all these applications need the reliable data transfer service of TCP. However, many important applications run over UDP rather than TCP. UDP is used for RIP routing table updates. Since RIP updates are sent from time to time (normally every five minutes), lost updates will be replaced by more recent updates, thus making the lost, out-of-date update useless. UDP is used to carry network management (SNMP; see "Network Management") data. UDP is preferred to TCP in this case, since network management applications must often run when the network is in a stressed state - specifically when reliable, congestion-controlled data transfer is hard to achieve. Also, as we mentioned earlier, DNS runs over UDP, thereby avoiding TCP's connection-establishment delays.
As shown in Figure 1, both UDP and TCP are used today with multimedia applications, such as Internet phone, real-time video conferencing, and streaming of stored audio and video. We'll examine these applications in "Multimedia Networking". We just mention now that all of these applications can tolerate a small amount of packet loss, so that reliable data transfer is not absolutely critical for the application's success. Moreover, real-time applications, like Internet phone and video conferencing, react very poorly to TCP's congestion control. For these reasons, developers of multimedia applications may choose to run their applications over UDP instead of TCP. On the other hand, TCP is increasingly being used for streaming media transport. For instance, [Sripanidkulchai 2004] found that nearly 75% of on-demand and live streaming used TCP. When packet loss rates are low, and with some organizations blocking UDP traffic for security reasons (see "Security in Computer Networks"). TCP becomes an increasingly attractive protocol for streaming media transport.
Though commonly done today, running multimedia applications over UDP is controversial. As we mentioned above, UDP has no congestion control. But congestion control is required to prevent the network from entering a congested state in which very little useful work is done. If everyone were to start streaming high-bit-rate video without using any congestion control, there would be so much packet overflow at routers that very few UDP packets would successfully traverse the source-to-destination path. Furthermore, the high loss rates induced by the uncontrolled UDP senders would cause the TCP senders (which, as we'll see, do decrease their sending rates in the face of congestion) to radically decrease their rates. In this way, the lack of congestion control in UDP can result in high loss rates between a UDP sender and receiver, and the crowding out of TCP sessions - a potentially serious problem [Floyd 1999]. Many researchers have proposed new mechanisms to force all sources, including UDP sources, to perform adaptive congestion control [Mahdavi 1997; Floyd 2000; Kohler 2006].
Before discussing the UDP segment structure, we mention that it is possible for an application to have reliable data transfer when using UDP. This can be done if reliability is built into the application itself (for instance, by adding acknowledgment and retransmission mechanisms, such as those we'll study in the next section). But this is a nontrivial task that would keep an application developer busy debugging for a long time. However, building reliability directly into the application allows the application to "have its cake and eat it too". That is, application processes can communicate reliably without being subjected to the transmission-rate constraints imposed by TCP's congestion-control mechanism.

Preview Abstract Abstract
Chenhao Ma
(Peking University, LLNL)
BOUT++ six-field Landau-fluid simulations show that an ELM crash has two phases: fast initial crash of ion temperature profile on the order of Alfven time scale near the peak gradient region and slow electron inward turbulence spreading from the ELM crash event. Both of them contribute to the ELM energy loss. However, the conducted ELM energy loss dominates over the convected ELM energy loss, which remains almost constant after the initial crash. The total ELM energy loss is mainly determined by the MHD turbulence spreading when the pedestal temperature height is large. The inward front propagation of electron temperature perturbation spreads into the linearly stable zone, while the ion perturbation front has much less spreading. The electron temperature fluctuation peaks on the rational surfaces and the front jumps gradually inwards towards neighboring rational surfaces. The electron wave-particle resonances via Landau closure provide a relatively strong parallel damping effect on the electron temperature perturbation and induce a large cross-phase shift of about $\pi/2$ angle between ExB velocity and the ion temperature, which yields almost no spreading for ion temperature and density fluctuation. When pedestal temperature height increases, the cross-phase shift of electron decreases and is close to $\pi/4$ angle which yields a large turbulence spreading and generates the large electron conducted energy loss. The front propagation stops at the position where the radial turbulent correlation length is shorter than the magnetic surface spacing. The energy burst of an ELM is controlled by the magnetic shear profile, the characteristic front propagating velocity and the turbulence correlation time. The inward turbulence spreading is mainly driven by (1) a series of micro-crashes due to a localized steepening of profile and (2) the magnetic flutter. The impact of other kinetic effects, such as full FLR effect and toroidal resonance, will be presented via simulations of a newly developed electro-magnetic Gyro-Landau-Fluid extension.

Agriculture that fails to protect and improve rural livelihoods, equity and social well-being is unsustainable
- Ensuring that producers have adequate access to and control of productive resources, and addressing the gender gap, can contribute significantly to reducing poverty and food insecurity in rural areas.
- Agriculture is the most labor intensive of all economic activities. It provides, directly and indirectly, a source of livelihoods for rural households totaling 2.5 billion people. Yet, poverty is excessively associated with agriculture, and agriculture is among the riskiest types of businesses. Agriculture can only become sustainable if it provides decent employment conditions to those who practice it, in an economically and physical safe, and healthy environment.

The chests that Portia's suitors must open, like the rings that she and Nerissa give their husbands to safeguard, none-too-subtly evoke the female genitalia. In the final scene, when Portia and Nerissa pretend to have slept with the lawyer and the law clerk to whom their rings were given, they make this connection explicit. By using precious objectsand, in the case of the stones and the rings, objects of commercial exchangeto stand for human sex, Shakespeare links the supposedly pure spheres of love and marriage to the play's exploration of money and greed.

Does the 'Grinch' issue affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
Red Hat Product Security has been made aware of a vulnerability report known as "grinch". This issue is not a security issue and is the expected behavior of the system in question.
Background Information
A report has been released detailing an issue that the reporter is naming "Grinch". This report incorrectly classifies expected behavior as a security issue.
The PackageKit console client (pkcon) is a utility which allows users in the
wheel group, also known as local administrators, to install packages. This utility allows local administrators to install packages without a password if they are a "local user", meaning they are using the physical keyboard attached to the computer. If you are a user who does not have a physical console (such as a remote users connected via SSH), you must supply authentication credentials to install packages.
This behavior is controlled in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 via the
/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/org.freedesktop.packagekit.rules file which mandates that installation of packages can only be done, without authentication credentials, if the user is local. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, you must authenticate (even when working locally) to install packages. Previous versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 5 and earlier) do not use or provide PackageKit.
Red Hat does not consider this to be a security issue or even a bug. This is the expected behavior of the PackageKit console client.

Fortunately today there are these great things called 'Home Stickers' put out by Novelles Images, which I just stumbled upon and I thought I'd share. I don't know what they look like it real life, but in the pictures they look pretty cool. I think that they would be great for a nursery or if you have an apartment or dorm room where you're not allowed to paint your walls. They claim to be easily removable, without leaving a residue. Anyway, if we do end up having kids, I'm definitely using these. You can buy them at changeyourwalls.com or there also some on ebay called 'Art Wall Project' and some on Etsy.
These are some pictures of some interesting ones:
You can even get them for your laptop or car :)

After being introduced as Penn State's head coach in January 2014, James Franklin said something that will either be etched on his tombstone or scrawled upon it by graffiti artists.
He said he wanted to "dominate the state."
He was talking specifically about recruiting, which in truth is (and always has been) the goal of the guy heading the commonwealth's highest-profile Division I football program: You want to keep the best kids close to home.
The phrase was nonetheless used to mock him as his team struggled through consecutive 7-6 seasons his first two years on the job. The Lions broke out in 2016, going 11-3 and winning the Big Ten, and now it can be said with certainty that he has lived up to his vow — that while he and his staff have generally excelled on the recruiting trail, they have done particularly well in their backyard.
That very much includes the Delaware Valley, as stands to reason: Franklin is a Langhorne native.
Of the 120 players listed on the Nittany Lions' preseason roster, 45 are Pennsylvanians. That's 37.5 percent and includes a guy who is not only the best player on the team but also one of the best in the country, running back Saquon Barkley. While a native of the Bronx, he grew up near Allentown.
With a couple New Jerseyans factored in, there are 14 from Philadelphia and its environs. They include left tackle Ryan Bates (Warrington/Archbishop Wood), the Lions' best offensive lineman, starting defensive tackle Curtis Cothran (Newtown/Council Rock North) and starting defensive end Shareef Miller (Philadelphia/George Washington).
Also in that number are Miller's two primary backups, Ryan Buchholz (Malvern/Great Valley) and Shaka Toney (Philadelphia/Imhotep Charter), as well as starting wide receiver Juwan Johnson (Glassboro, New Jersey), who is widely viewed as a breakout candidate this season, his first as a regular.
(Not included on the season's first depth chart, released Tuesday, was cornerback John Reid [Mount Laurel, New Jersey/St. Joe's Prep]. A returning starter, he injured a knee during spring practice and is expected to miss much of the season, if not all of it.)
"Obviously for us to be the team we want to be and have the type of program that we want to have, we have to go a great job in the state of Pennsylvania," Franklin said Tuesday, as he looked ahead to Saturday's season opener against Akron.
He noted not only his ties to the Philadelphia area but also the fact that some of his former teammates at East Stroudsburg, where he played quarterback in the early 1990s, have gone into coaching.
"I don't think there's any doubt about it," he said, "when you can walk into a high school office and you've got a relationship, and you kind of understand those schools and their backgrounds and their strengths and their weaknesses, all those types of things, it helps. It really does. They have a familiarity with you, you have a familiarity with them and there's trust there. So I think all those relationships and those networks have been critical to what we've been able to do so far."
Bates is a guy all the big schools wanted, after serving as a two-way tackle on a Wood club that won consecutive state titles in 2013 and 2014. He redshirted his first year at PSU while beginning the growth process from 275 pounds to his current 315. Last season, he started the first 10 games at left guard and the last four at left tackle, after injuries left the Lions threadbare at the latter position.
"It wasn't that big of a deal for me," he said. "I do feel more comfortable out at tackle, honestly. I feel better in space. I trust my feet."
He wound up making a pair of freshman All-America teams, and line coach Matt Limegrover now regards the redshirt sophomore as a guy who is "going to be a cornerstone for us the next three years."
The other locals have grown into their roles as well — in Cothran's case, literally. He was a 230-pound defensive end when he arrived on campus in 2013. He is now listed at 295, and after starting eight games last year said Tuesday that he considers it "a blessing" to be listed as the regular heading into the opener.
"And," he added, "it definitely just shows the amount of work that goes into it. I mean, nothing's ever easy, especially in college football. Through the years of grinding everything out, I'm thankful to be here."
Same for Johnson, who last year recorded his first two career catches but is now filling the spot played in 2016 by Chris Godwin, a third-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"Sleep on me if you want to," it said on Johnson's Twitter page at one point during spring practice. "I'll wake you up soon."
By then the 6-foot-4, 218-pound redshirt sophomore had awakened just about everybody. Admittedly inconsistent his first two seasons in the program, his strides were such that receivers coach Josh Gattis called him "one of the most improved players on the team" in an interview with the Big Ten Network.
Nothing appears to have changed since then.
"Eager season," it now says on Johnson's Twitter page.
The defensive end corps likewise oozes potential, despite the departures of the starters Garrett Sickels and Evan Schwan. Miller and Buchholz both saw plenty of action last year — position coach Sean Spencer prefers to rotate fresh bodies — and redshirt freshmen like Shane Simmons and Toney are intriguing prospects.
Cothran, in fact, called Simmons "a freak of nature," and Bates said much the same of Toney, who is unusually slight (6-3, 218) for his position.
"Shaka," Bates said, "is probably one of the fastest guys I've ever gone against. I feel like I'm playing a corner at defensive end just because of his sheer speed and his quickness coming off the ball."
The Lions likewise appear to have turned a corner. And it is in large part because they have taken some familiar exits.

"So much of life is a negotiation…even if you're not in business, you have opportunities to practice all around you" - Kevin O'Leary
Despite being in sales for more than 10 years I used to hate negotiation. But i've grown to enjoy it. Many sales professionals struggle to get the outcomes they actually want. It's not just about trying to sell more value!
Today's buying environment is different for everyone in sales. For many you're dealing with procurement for every change made to an existing agreement or new product or service introduced.
My favourite book on negotiation is 'Getting More' by Stuart Diamond. Here are 9 ideas that help me get focused for successful negotiations every time.
1. It's about them. Find out what's important to them in this negotiation. You'll be surprised sometimes it's not about price at all but terms and conditions.
2. Address emotions first. Every negotiation, no matter the relationship, will have some measure of emotion. We can't help but bring emotion to the table. We're human after all! You need to discover which emotions are at the table. Is it pressure because your contact has deadlines? Are there changes in process? Understand this and you can control the outcome.
3. Be incremental. Simply take your time. Have a process and agree steps that make sense to reaching your goals. This will mean really evaluating what you're offering and trading.
4. Always communicate and create a vision. The glue to ensuring things stick in a negotiation is communication. Ensuring you and your client have a clear vision of the end result. Even if you fundamentally disagree on parts, if you maintain high level of communication you can eventually build deeper rapport and it lead to more open and easier conversation.
5. Trade unequally valuable items from any source. Know what you offer and get creative. With just a little work in advance you can build up a bank of tradeables that could be of real value to your client. This doesn't have to take anything from your bottom line.
6. Be transparent and constructive. A lot of negotiators will tell you not to show anything and keep all your cards close. Unless you're playing poker this can be a very alienating strategy. The point of being transparent is to set clear expectations with your client that you're here to make progress and reach an outcome.
7. Find and use their standards. Don't be afraid to make sure your terms and conditions between you and your client are clear. Remember to be respectful. Ask if there were specific things in your agreement that may prevent or help you from finding a workable solution where you keep value on the table and still help them achieve their goals.
8. Goals are paramount. Know what you want. Your goals don't only have to be monetary. In every communication you have with your client you have the opportunity to build on your relationship.
9. Every situation is different (even if it's the same person). This can be a fatal mistake made by many sales people when negotiating with their clients. Because we know them we assume it's the same situation and we can apply the same strategies and approach again. The reality is how we all show up each day will vary. And in negotiations you, and your client will have different goals and expectations. Treat every negotiation situation as a brand new experience, applying all the above principles.
These might seem like a lot, but when practiced often you'll begin to see you get more and better results from your negotiation. You can thank Stuart Diamond for that.

It's been said that if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. I can't even begin to express how much I love providing creative direction for photoshoots, events and off the beaten path projects. Exploring a concept and giving it a purpose is absolutely invigorating.
I recently worked on "Paint Your Palate," an interactive display that was created to engage current and prospective clients of Neuman's Kitchen. By letting guests take culinary matters into their own hands, we were able to craft an unforgettable experience with the brand. Under the guidance of one of their chefs, guests had the opportunity to channel their inner Picasso while familiarizing themselves with innovative ingredients. This sensory event showcased the versatility of Neuman's Kitchen while catching the attention of various local publications.

Palm Beach County got a double-dose of good news on the culinary front in recent days: Two local chefs earned spots on the semifinals list for the prestigious James Beard Award for best chef in the South.
The annual James Beard honors are considered to be the Oscars of the culinary world.
Making this list is a first for Chef Lindsay Autry, executive chef and partner at The Regional Kitchen & Public House in West Palm. While the semifinalists must endure another round before the final nominees are announced March 14, Autry says just making the early list is the bucket-list item she can now check off. (She's just 35.)
The other local nominee is no stranger to the Beard Foundation's "Best Chef: South" list. Chef Clay Conley, culinary mind of the Buccan Restaurant Group, is now a four-time semifinalist for the award.
Last week's announcement should come as no surprise to those who have sampled either of the chefs' cooking. Not only are they are turning out some of the most soulful, honest dishes in South Florida, they are helping to give rise to central Palm Beach County as a culinary destination.
Here's where you can check out chefs Autry and Conley's dishes.
Autry's restaurant:
- The Regional Kitchen, 651 Okeechobee Blvd., West Palm Beach; 561-557-6460
Conley's restaurants:
- Buccan/ Imoto, 350 S. County Rd., Palm Beach; 561-833-3450
- Grato: 1901 S. Dixie Hwy, West Palm Beach; 561-404-1334

That still doesn't make any more sense...
Wouldn't it be easier to just hide her keys? Or her glasses. That way she can't see enough to get to the car.
Well u also said car. Who the hell hides a car?
MrDonSalvetti | 27
Everyone who can't pay the bills will hide the own car if necessary, trust me.

#22, I like your drive and motivation. Even though it isn't working you keeping trying hoping that it will. Salute.
weswheatley | 14
I think he said car because assuming OP's grandmother has her memory and somewhere she learned how to hotwire then the car itself must be hidden.
By hacksaw246 | 24
Well given the way a lot of people drive they probably don't need to see. She's onto something!
Sandman366 | 6
No, they still need to see so they can run you off the road properly.
What if she has no idea how fast she's going because she can't see the dashboard? Or a child walks out on the street? Even with perfect sight you'll never see anything so don't drive with anything less
doodlecloud | 26
Not sure why 13 got thumbed down, driving does kind of involve both long and short distance sight...you can't have just one or the other, you really need both.
chinaski7628 | 32
No-- it's just the blind driving.
By chocolatefrog28 | 29
That makes me feel better being out on the road, goodness. I'm sure she's not the only one that thinks that way...

Several US states are preparing for the worst blizzard which is predicted will come on Friday. Weather forecast predicted that the blizzard will hinder economic and social activities throughout East Coast. In order not to get stuck during the blizzard, educational institutions has given a holiday for their students. Bracing the calamity, many states governers has ordered their people not to go out. Even if they had to go out, the governers urged them to use massive rapid transportation.
The upcoming blizzard will not be worse than "Snowmageddon" in 2010. It decimated all US East Coast and snow thickness reached 17 inches. Forecast said that this year, thickness will reach eight to twelve inches. Eventhough, they notified the people to prepare themselves by stockpilling the food and medicine if the worst scenario would likely to happen.
Bill de Blasio, Mayor of New York City has already given an instruction for New York people not to make outdoor activity from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon. Based on forecast prediction, blizzard will hit New Jersey, New York through Long Island. "The snow will be coming down from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon," the forecast said. At the same time, Blasio said, "We will face the worst blizzard." The main concern in Jersey Shore was not a snow but the prospect of wind-driven flooding.
Not only New York City who is preparing for the worst, Washington DC does the same thing. They have to prepare because six years ago, they were crippled by the blizzard. This year, the thickness will be expected reaching only two inches. Unfortunately, the problem lingered. Several streets in the capital was hindered because of the snow. People were wondering what would happen if the capitol couldn't manage two feet snow thickness, because at the same time two inches snow stalled the entire city.
Peter Burke an expert from National Weather Service explained that blizzard caused shortage in several districts. "People are urged to stay at home and stockpilling sufficient amount of foods and medicines," Burke said. "The blizzard will be worse," he added. Meanwhile, Maryland Governor, Larry Hogan said that he prepared for the upcoming blizzard. "We have prepared 3000 units and 350.000 tonnes of salt if the blizzard are going to be worse," Hogan said. At his press conference, Governor Hogan said that his team needed one week to clear out the snow from the city street.

When Nikki Haley, now the United States ambassador to the United Nations, was questioned by senators at her confirmation hearing in January about how she would deal with Donald Trump's dismissive view of internationalism, she said confidently, "I will show him that the UN matters."
She also said that she would show the world that "when we say something, we're going to follow through and do that." And UN reform? She dipped into folksiness, saying, "I love to fix things, and I see a UN that can absolutely be fixed." She vowed, however, to stay true to her principles, occasionally tempering or breaking with pronouncements by Trump, whom she had freely criticized during the 2016 presidential campaign.
On September 19, Donald Trump is due to make his first speech to the UN General Assembly as president of the United States. It appears that he and Haley are now a seamless team of modern-day America-firsters, haranguing allies and enemies alike. At the UN, this kind of American policy is neither popular nor always productive. Haley's actions and attitudes in the UN begin to seem more and more like efforts to undermine the organization and its credibility rather than reform it.
A little-noticed factor in the Trump-Haley relationship may be her ability at the UN to conduct diplomatic negotiations, which may be turn out to be her greatest strength in the job. The Security Council discussions over the last week on increasing sanctions on North Korea, after a powerful nuclear-weapons test and continuing missile launches, demonstrated how well she, as a former state governor, understands "the art of the deal," with all the give and take involved. The United States came into the debate with a much stronger proposed resolution than the one that was ultimately adopted on September 11, after China succeeded in getting it watered down because of its own concerns about the potential reactions of Kim Jong-un. But that made it possible for both China and Russia to join the consensus, and Haley got a unanimous 15-0 "yes" vote against North Korea, an outcome that sent a message of unity to Kim.
The ambassador of France, François Delattre, while saying he supported the United States in its determination to add punishment to existing sanctions on the North Korean leader, also remarked, when questioned by a reporter about the role of China (and to some extent Russia) in the final outcome: "By definition this is a compromise, in order to get everybody on board."
Stephen Schlesinger, a leading historian and analyst of the UN from its creation, differentiates Haley's approach to negotiating from her underlying attitudes toward the UN.
"My understanding is that she is considered to be personally a pleasant, friendly sort of person with a politician's keen ability at diplomatic socializing to achieve her goals," Schlesinger wrote in an e-mail. "But on substantive issues, she is a Trumpster, one who cloaks herself in diplomatic disguise…[as] one who seemingly provides a coherent foreign policy vision. But all of this disguises her deeply conservative, even reactionary views on US policy abroad. Whether she actually believes in Trump's policies may be another matter. She seems to be hinting at times that she may be endorsing Trump's UN budget cuts with some reluctance and thus she may be a more moderate person. But that may also be part of her shrewd political positioning."

People are sleeping in their cars. We are still determining how long we will need to serve food.
After the Ides of March brought tornadoes to the Florida panhandle and southern Georgia, residents are beginning to clean up.
In Florida, what may have been several tornadoes touched down in Washington and Jackson counties. In a rural area near Wausau, eight people were injured, three homes were destroyed, and seven homes sustained significant damage. Power lines and trees were down across the area.
Two tornadoes also touched down in Jackson County, damaging two homes and one business.
In southwest Georgia, trees were toppled and mobile homes damaged when twisters hit Whigham and Climax. At least 12 structures, including mobile homes and barns, were destroyed, according to the Georgia Emergency Management Agency.
High winds also toppled numerous trees in Columbus, GA, damaging some buildings in the city's historic district.
Meanwhile, tornado damage from another Florida twister earlier this week was more severe than originally thought, emergency officials discovered as they conducted assessments Wednesday. An F1 tornado that ripped through Volusia County may have caused $5 million in damage, preliminary estimates showed.
The areas of Daytona Beach,South Daytona Beach, and Holly Hill were hardest hit. About 30 homes were destroyed, 30 sustained major damage, and another 277 sustained minor damage, reported Charlie Craig of Volusia County emergency management.
The local Westside Baptist Church opened as a shelter and about 14 people stayed overnight Tuesday. The storm blew the roof off the Salvation Army building. Though most damaged phone and power lines were repaired late Tuesday, some 1,200 people were still without power Wednesday. Three people were injured.
Local response teams were also discovering pockets of heavy damage after severe storms swept through Mississippi and Alabama Monday and Tuesday.
Ripped-off roofs, downed trees and power lines, damaged mobile homes, and flooding were in evidence across both states, according to local reports.
One man was killed in southern Mississippi when a tree fell across his truck.
The town of Hattiesburg, MS was hardest hit. Hattiesburg is in Forrest County, and neighboring Lamar County also took the brunt of the storm. Five injuries were reported in those two counties.
At least 157 homes and businesses in Lamar and Forrest counties sustained some damage, according to preliminary local damage assessments. The storm knocked out power to a local water treatment plant, so residents were being asked to conserve water.
Emergency officials in Marion and Jones counties also reported some damage to homes and businesses.
The Salvation Army was responding to people's needs in Hattiesburg. Within the first 15 minutes after the storm struck, The Salvation Army sent crews to assess damages and determine people's needs. Working with local law enforcement officials, The Salvation Army set up a canteen truck that provided meals to 300 people. Trained staff offered trauma counseling for storm survivors as well.
In the town of Olah, in Lamar County, a mobile home park sustained heavy damage, said Salvation Army Captain Kelly Igleheart. About 30 residents live in the park, plus another dozen homes were affected.
"People are sleeping in their cars," said Ingleheart. "We are still determining how long we will need to serve food." A local restaurant donated barbecue sandwiches, and Wal-Mart donated sandwich meat, bread, and drinks.
"We're a faith-based community here. That's a blessing," he said.
In Alabama, a woman and her 12-year-old granddaughter were killed when a tornado ripped through their mobile home in Red Level. Scott Adcock, public information officer for the Alabama Emergency Management Agency, said that Washington County was hard hit, particularly the town of Macintosh, as well as isolated areas of Covington County. However, he said, "most of the damage looks like it will be covered by insurance. It will be handled at the state and local level."

The album is Rated R, pop fans, but RiRi is rated F this week for "freaking ubiquitous": The official video for her just-dropped second single "Wait Your Turn" comes post Glamour-cover unveiling, pre-Diane Sawyer sit-down, and mere hours after her full tracklist reveal, complete with guest stars (will.i.am, Young Jeezy, Slash).
The clip, like the song, strays far from the chart princessa's habitual high-gloss R&B shine; here, she's filmed in grainy black and white—the eye-patched outlaw in a deserted noir cityscape, laying down tough island-girl boasts over a spare, digital-hand-clap beat. Church pews and angel wings, shrouded in nocturnal mists? So Keanu in Constantine. Watch it below:
So what do you think, Music Mixers? I wasn't fully feeling it yesterday, but it's growing on me. A little levity up in this goth-gasm wouldn't hurt, though; I'm reserving my judgment for the full album.

My life has been one continuous learning experience. Back to back to back... one right after another. Maybe you can learn from my experiences and mistakes. Or not..
Monday, August 24, 2009
Round up.
Visitors! I cannot begin to explain how important they are and were. The biggest morale booster you could imagine was to have somebody take time from their day just to stop by and say hello. I could fill this blog by simply listing the names of people who provided this for me. I'm afraid I would not be able to remember all the names. So to avoid hurt feelings please accept this as my "thank you." You know who you are, and so do I. Your love has touched me. And My Heavenly Father is a witness.
On December 21, 2006 I returned to my home. The insurance through my work covered assisted home care. My wife voluntarily attended classes to learn how to use all the apparatus needed to keep me alive. This included many different pumps to continue dispensing the plethora of antibiotic concoctions that were prescribed. Recall that my immune system was gone! Completely gone! I had been given enough antibiotics to effectively cure an entire third world nation of all its ills. God's creation of our immune system is a complex and ingenious mechanism. No man-made drugs can begin to replace this miraculous machinery. But we tried anyway. We plan and God laughs.
I enjoyed Christmas at home with my family. As much as was humanly possible. The smiling faces of my children, and wife were a sheer delight to behold. As anyone who has visited me in my home can attest. I enjoy a spectacular view on the east side of my home. We placed my rented hospital bed right beside a huge window that allowed me to look down on the valley and city below. I have the Cuyamaca Mountains as a backdrop. This view was a major factor when we purchased our home 7 years earlier. But lying in a hospital bed to enjoy this view was never a consideration.
My family decorated the house inside and out. Something we had previously always done together. Lights around the eaves and on the railings and stanchions of the front porch and illuminated lawn decorations outside. Lighted tree, stockings hung on the mantel and festive decorations inside. It was beautiful. I was proud of them all. In years past it had been a whole day project with my assistance. They did this by themselves. It was no mean feat.
We sang carols, watched seasonal movie favorites and enjoyed a good old fashion Home style Christmas turkey dinner, with all the trimmings. I was usually the holiday cook. But my wife and children filled in without a hitch. Everything was going great for me. But it must have been miserable for my family. I was changed. But their change and challenge was even greater. Their formerly independent, world traveled, self-sufficient father and husband was now a person who needed assistance scratching an itchy forehead, nose or ear. I required round the clock monitoring and assistance. They never complained or hesitated. But it would have made me crazy if the roles had been reversed.
We celebrated the New Year together. Dick Clark's Rockin New Years Eve on the tube, we watched the ball drop on 2006 and prayed for God's grace in 2007.
The home health care nurse was a wonderful nurse practitioner who helped us to cope in our new reality. but when she told us that Doctor "D", from the nursing home was going to be my attending physician, we protested like scalded cats. Thank God our words did not fall on deaf ears. Nurse "S" told us she would get Doctor "H" to replace Dr. "D". Knowing nothing of Doctor "H", we took the nurses word. Joseph Stalin would have been an improvement over Dr."D". I was concerned. But it turned out to be needless concern. Doctor"H" was, and still is a blessing straight from the Lord.
Next time; ROUND 2, or it's deja vu all over again...

I'm glad you got rid of Dr. D.
I mentioned to you before my father was a surgeon. I can not tell you how many people I have met who, upon learning my relation, told me sincerely, that my father changed their lives for the good. I relish that and wish everyone had someone on their team like that.

Hey KW, Thanks for stopping by and commenting. It's taken me a couple days to read some of your posts and find out a little about your story. I'm anxious to read more.
I didn't see what type of scooter you ride. Maybe I skipped over that part.
You have total recall memory? Dude! I seriously would want that. Sometimes I can't remember what I said fifteen minutes ago. hahaha
I'll be joining your followers to see your answer to my question.

A Clinical Research Biobank reached out to CSols for help to migrate their data from caTissue, MS Sharepoint, paper, and MS Excel to LabVantage 8. Their current process was very inefficient, allowing only one study to be migrated at a time which took months to complete. Their resources were overworked and less productive and the slow data migration process was severely adversely affecting the adoption of their new Enterprise LabVantage LIMS.
CSols was brought in to develop a streamline, standardized migration process by creating templates for data retrieval, extraction, and transformation, as well as creating a new, standardized, multi-use LabVantage import function. This work made the migrations quicker and repeatable. Migrating all the biobank data into LabVantage 8 has reduced IT support costs (only one system is now used), while increasing the accuracy and completeness of their biobank samples and information.

Hi doctors, was just wondering what is multiple personality disorder and are there different forms of it?
A spectrum: Dissociation is a spectrum. It can vary from normal highway hypnosis where you've driven for a while and then suddenly come to and you can't remember having driven the past several miles, all the way to having full-blown multiple personality disorder which is referred to as dissociative identity disorder. In between is a large spectrum of conditions based on amnesia, repressed memories, feelings, sensations, smells, visualizations, tastes, and virtually any part of a traumatic experience that a person can push into the back recesses of their mind. Mild forms include what are called ego state disorders. More complex cases are called dissociative disorder not otherwise specified. There are also conditions such as depersonalization disorder which although being a form of dissociation does not have its roots in trauma. In extreme dissociation a person creates an alter ego or self that takes on the experiences that the person experienced as they were going through a significant trauma. This is called a split off part of the self. Because the trauma progresses, this split off part will likely split off another part that is identified with the aggressor. These parts tend to be disoriented to person place and time. They have separate wills identities and roles. ...Read more

Irritated eyes?
Prevent Digital Eye Strain
What can you do to relieve irritated eyes, neck pain or headaches caused by using digital devices?
We enjoy spending our free time surfing the internet, playing computer games or checking out social media, but the fun stops the moment our eyes, head or neck don't cooperate. Unfortunately, our bodies aren't designed to constantly look at screens. Here are some reasons why: reading distances are shorter when you use a smartphone or tablet than with print media, and many people find the artificial blue light emitted by these devices bothersome. On top of this, the distances for using screens vary enormously. We hold a smartphone much closer to our face than we would a book, and our eyes must constantly adjust to these different distances.
What are typical complaints?
Your eyes begin to burn, tear up, dry out or look red. You might also suffer from headaches and neck pain while having difficulty seeing clearly – all of these symptoms may be a sign that you've spent too much time looking at your smartphone or computer screen. In a study conducted by ZEISS together with a renowned research institute, 82% of the respondents reported that they suffer from these symptoms occasionally or often when using digital devices.
What can I do? Are there preventative measures?
If you're using your smartphone or computer for fun, make sure you take a break. Don't spend too much time surfing the internet, shopping online, playing Pokémon Go or checking out Facebook and YouTube. Not staring at a screen is more difficult at work, because many of us spend most of the day at the computer. But the same rule applies as in your free time: breaks are the best way to give your eyes a rest. We suggest you following the '20-20-20 rule': look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes. This allows your eyes to relax and prevents additional problems.
What else can I do?
When sitting at the computer, we tend to lean forward. This means that we don't move enough and blink too infrequently. This causes our eyes to dry out, and the tear fluid necessary for healthy eyes is insufficient. One way to prevent dry eyes is to remember to blink. We would suggest putting a post-it note on your screen as a reminder. People often have poor posture when working at the computer. Pay attention to how you sit and, when necessary, correct your posture. It also helps if you stand up, walk around for a moment, and, when you come back to your seat, make sure that you sit upright.

4. These days, we are exposed to more blue light than ever before due to the constant use of modern displays. Do you work at a computer, smartphone or tablet for long periods every day?

Richard Heene learned the hard way that what goes up must come down back in 2009 when he attempted to hoax the world by sending a silver helium balloon into the atmosphere that supposedly contained his then six-year-old son, Falcon.
He wasn't, but when word got out that the whole stunt was preplanned, Heene was eventually sentenced to 90 days in jail for the hoax, and ordered to pay $36,000 in restitution. His wife, Mayumi, was sentenced to 20 days of weekend jail.
After a shaky period, Heene is shaking things up in a different way, by creating a product called YourShakedown that is designed to save consumers money by shaking bottles and cans containing sticky substances like ketchup, shampoo and peanut butter so that every last bit comes out.
The product looks sort of like a Mixmaster that read the "50 Shades Of Grey" trilogy, but Heene believes this new product will save consumers and businesses hundreds of dollars the first year despite a $179 price tag -- $359 for the restaurant version.
"It should pay for itself when you add in the gas it takes to drive to the store for one item you suddenly ran out of," Heene told The Huffington Post. "I figured Americans do between eight to 16 trips a year for things like ketchup, peanut butter or shampoo."
Heene was first inspired to create YourShakedown more than 30 years ago while working at TGI Fridays.
"Each night we'd collect the ketchup bottles and turn them upside-down over the others -- they have stands for this -- and I thought there must be a better way," he said. "Then earlier this year, my son Bradford wanted ketchup for his fries, but we couldn't get it out of the bottle -- and there was at least 11 packets worth of ketchup on the sides."
It might seem that modern-day condiment packaging has answered this problem, but Heene says no.
"Those flat-headed ketchup bottles? Gravity knocks them over so we keep them right side up anyway," he said.
Heene's shaky device just went on sale, but it's not the only invention he's created in the aftermath of the infamous balloon boy hoax.
In 2010, a year after that scandal, Heene created the "Bear Scratch," a post that attaches to an interior or exterior wall that allows humans to scratch an itchy back the same way bears do in the wild.
Last year, he created something called the HeeneDuty Truck Transformer, a pick-up robot that can lift over 2,400 pounds and allows truck owners to load-up and go within a few minutes.
He said the company he licensed that product to is currently taking orders for it, but is still building a factory model.
Meanwhile, he is trying to downplay the scandal that made him an internationally known parental pariah, but admits he may entertain movie offers about it at a later date. He still maintains there was no hoax.
"I am focusing on the boys and the family and don't really want it reasserted, he told HuffPost. "But maybe one day, when they're older, I'd entertain offers."
