Today's Meditation
Read James 1:19-21
If you become angry, do not let your anger lead you into sin, and do not stay angry all day.
-Ephesians 4:26 (TEV)
A few years ago, I was mugged on Christmas Eve. The thieves didn't get much for their efforts and I wasn't hurt. In fact, God seemed to be watching over me through it all. But I relived the experience in my mind over and over again. This one incident victimized me repeatedly because I was angry about it. Four young men pushed me, a 68-year-old man, down and got away with a wallet with only one dollar in it. By continuing to obsess over the incident, I was allowing those muggers to steal my peace of mind and my forgiving heart.
It wasn't until I prayed for these young men--whose foolish actions could get them imprisoned--that I was able to let go of my anger. Then I could thank God for protection and guidance--for them and for me.
Scripture offers us clear advice about the problems anger can create. The Letter to the Ephesians reminds us that it can lead us into sin. The goal of life is to love even those we consider our enemies. Prolonged anger can distort our lives and lead us into actions we will later regret. But God can free us from it and heal us.
Richard E. Woodard
(Washington, DC)
Prayer: O Lord, there is much in the world to be disturbed about. Help us to turn our anger into constructive actions that establish justice, right wrongs, and heal wounds. Amen.
Thought for the Day: Nursing anger can poison our lives.

I love the smell of Napalm.
As a member of an elite mercenary group called Granite, you're sent out to
the Angola coast to take care of some (ahem) business. However, after a particularly
painful assault, you're left with almost nothing. Granite denies you reinforcements,
then leaves you for dead. The surviving members decide to band together and form
the Shadow Company, who's prime goal is to take revenge on Granite.
This is the premise of Shadow Company, a decent but buggy strategy game
from Ubisoft. While it shines in the graphic, music, and gameplay arenas, it's
brought down by its annoying camera and unpredictable game errors.
game is similar in execution to Commandos:
Behind Enemy Lines. You command a small band of mercenaries, who must sneak,
hide, and shoot in order to complete each level. Of course, like most of these
games, you can't just go into an enemy camp with guns blazing, and expect to survive.
You must carefully strategize to achieve your goals. You can try to get to high
ground and ambush your enemy; you can try to pick off border guards, throw a grenade
to take them by surprise, set a C4 surprise when no one is looking, and so on.
For any problem, there are lots of ways to solve it, making it more entertaining.
And you will be spending lots of time trying to figure out what is the best
plan of action. Most of the levels will take over an hour and a half to complete,
with at least half of the time spent trying to find the best position for your
guys. It's really cool to form a plan, and then watch it work out the way you
wanted it to.
Of course, with all of these cool things you can do, you need good controls
to do them quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately, this game doesn't have the
best. Although it's pretty easy to get your men to stand, kneel, or lie down on
command, moving your party can be confusing and annoying. If you're moving four
people, it's hard to tell exactly where they'll end up. They may go behind a hill
where you want them, or in front of it, straight in the line of fire. Also, drawing
a bead on your enemy or picking up items can be inaccurate due to fairly poor
click detection on the screen. It's still possible to use your team effectively,
but it takes a lot more work than it really should.
The same
goes for the camera. Anyone who's played Myth
will recognize the basic camera movement keys: you can move it in the four basic
directions, circle it left and right, turn it left and right, raise it, lower
it, or tilt it. But, even with all these options, the camera doesn't turn well.
When you circle the camera around a point, the point is much farther away than
you'd expect, which makes you loose sight of your commandos quite often. This
can be particularly annoying in the heat of battle, where it'll take you five
seconds to adjust the camera so you can see your men. Meanwhile, the enemy is
shooting you like fish in a barrel.
The graphics are decent, but not without flaws. The ground is well textured
with grass, dirt, dead river beds, and so on, while the various bits of scenery
(trees, tents, buildings, water) are detailed and very well rendered. Your commandos
look pretty good, though their running animation looks sort of silly when they're
running up hill. There are the occasional graphics glitches, and you can find
guns and other objects passing straight through stone walls (Maybe it's some sort
of special advanced military phasing device?), but overall these don't get in
the way of gameplay. The sound is adequate with the standard bang-bangs, rat-a-tat-tats,
and kablooies you're used to in this sort of game. The voices are a little annoying
though, and occasionally unclear; for the first half hour, I though Lewis Underwood
was saying "Nurse Underwood here".
Despite all of the good points, there is one thing which can make or break
a game: whether or not it's stable. The first time I tried to play the game, the
game refused to load. It just gave me a black screen, and didn't let me do anything.
I was forced to Ctrl-Alt-Del my way out of it. Also, game glitches that kill off
your men are frequent. Within half an hour of starting play, one of my guys got
stuck in a wall, while a second was crushed/drowned while trying to get into a
Although the game is pretty fun to play when it works, the loose controls and
annoying crashes really bring it down. You'll have great fun for an hour before
the game glitches and you throw your mouse at the wall. Shadow Company
is a good attempt, but sloppily done.

My arm still hurts and remains stiff, but I continue to feel positive about my recovery. Had another test today and physical therapy is in my near future. I hope to regain full strength and mobility in the months ahead. It is still weird and surreal to have been hit by a car. I mean, I could have been crippled or killed. Good to be alive and on the mend. Most of the month of May feels like it was just taken away from me.
I was able to catch up with business matters last week and I am turning my attention on getting new product releases out and into your hands. Lots of them. Along with a surprise or two. In addition to the Rifts® products you know about, we are going to be working on releases for Robotech®, Robotech® RPG Tactics, Heroes Unlimited™, Palladium Fantasy®, Splicers® and others. This will include digital products as well as physical products.
UPDATE: Coalition States: Heroes of Humanity™ Sourcebook – Ships June 15
I can hardly wait till you get this book in your hands. It should inspire all kinds of new, pulse-pounding and fun adventures for months to come. The printer has confirmed Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™ ships on June 15, 2016. As soon as it arrives in the warehouse, we ship to everyone who has placed a pre-order. Then we ship to distributors!
Oh, speaking of which, when you see that charge on your credit card from Palladium Books and think, "Hey, I didn't order anything recently." It is that Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™ pre-order you placed months ago. Palladium does not charge your credit card until we know the book will ship in a week or two.
If you want to get an idea of what to expect in Rifts® CS Heroes of Humanity™, take a look at the free preview available at DriveThruRPG.com. Keep those orders coming, because you are going to want this book.

It was early morning in northern Rwanda, and the sun was just beginning to burn away the mist blanketing the yellow-green patchwork hills outside the hospital windows. I was scheduled to give a brief training on resuscitation to the nurses working in the neonatal unit of a rural, government hospital where I volunteer part of my time through the international organization Partners in Health. Five or six nurses gathered around the table where I had a low-tech, plastic simulation baby for the nurses to practice their CPR technique. Less than 10 words into my presentation though, another nurse rushed in to interrupt the training.
"Doctor, there is a baby... I think she is not breathing. Can we do reanimation?" he asked, using the French term for resuscitation, or CPR.
Training abandoned, the other nurses and I followed him to the patient, a five-day-old girl who had been transferred to the hospital from a nearby health center. Apparently the child had been well after birth, but had developed fever and difficulty breathing the night before. I grabbed a stethoscope and listened for lung sounds and heart sounds -- there were none. The baby lay still on the neonatal resuscitation table, bathed in the weak sunlight streaking in through the windows. Her limbs were cool and limp, and blood dripped from her nose and mouth. My heart sunk. Who knew how long it had been since the baby stopped breathing? It could have been any point in the hour-long trip along the bumpy dirt road that snaked around the hills between the health center and hospital.
Clinical instinct told me that this baby was already dead, and wasn't coming back. But the nurses were all looking at me expectantly, and I decided that we had to try. I felt my heart start to beat a little faster, as it does at the start of every resuscitation I have ever participated in since medical school, but my voice was steady as I handed the nurse closest to the baby's head the mask and bag we had been about to use for the training and instructed him to place it over the child's nose and mouth and begin delivering breaths. I sent a second nurse to grab the oxygen concentrator machine and attach it to the bag the first nurse was holding. I had a third nurse place her two fingers in the center of the child's small sternum and start delivering chest compressions as I counted out the time in French. Yet a fourth nurse went to grab a small device to check the child's sugar while a fifth placed an intravenous catheter. On the surface I was calmly running through the resuscitation algorithm, making sure the nurses stayed on track, but deep down I was already mourning the small baby I had just met, and wondering how the young mother standing just a few feet away would react when we finally gave up the effort.
About ten or fifteen minutes later, while everyone else was caught up in the rhythm of the resuscitation, one of the nurses spoke up. "Doctor, I think we should stop now." I nodded my head, thinking to myself that we had dragged this on for long enough. I was about to open my mouth to say so when the nurse added: "I think the child has a pulse now." What??? I felt for the small divot where the baby's thigh met her pelvis, and sure enough there was a strong pulse. We stopped CPR and I listened to the chest with my stethoscope... a heart beat, regular and fast! A moment later I could hear breath sounds that were crackly wet but at least audible on both sides. The baby had a fever, and her stomach was distended, and there was bloody goo coming from the anus -- all signs of a severe infection called necrotizing enterocolitis, or NEC -- but she was alive! There were large smiles on the nurses' faces as we gave the baby oxygen, started antibiotics, put down a tube to decompress the stomach, and, once she was stabilized, finally got back to my lecture.
It would certainly feel good to take credit for saving this child's life, but I can't. First, the child is quite ill, and may not survive to leave the hospital. But even if she does, it will have been chance that saved her life. Random chance that she has only stopped breathing just as she reached the hospital instead of minutes or hours before; chance that I happened to be in the neonatal unit at that moment and happened to have years of experience in resuscitation as an emergency physician; chance that the entire neonatal unit staff had been there for the training, providing plenty of able hands; chance that all the many pieces of equipment we needed were available and functioning that morning, as is certainly not always the case in this setting. Had all of these random events not lined up this morning like ducks in a row, the child would surely have died.
I know this, because I've also seen the other side of this life-or-death coin toss many times before. Just last week, while rounding with a Rwandan doctor on the inpatient ward at another hospital, one of the patients passed away while we were chatting with another man just a few beds down from him. The man who died had serious heart disease, but had been doing well when we saw him the prior day. We had begun seeing patients that morning on the far side of the large ward, three long rows of evenly lined beds away, and by the time we got to his row around noon he was already dead. Without the loud, shrill beeps and flashing of colored numbers that punctuate hospital life back home, we hadn't noticed as his lungs filled with fluid, his breathing got faster, and the oxygen level in his blood began to fall. Nor had the patients and family members in the beds surrounding him wanted to interrupt us to let us know. We were two beds away when we finally noticed him, but by that time it was too late. Had we started our rounds on his side of the room that morning, he would have been one of the first patients seen, and we probably would have been able to intervene with some simple medications to stave off death. But by random chance, we hadn't.
I can't take credit for saving the girl's life today without taking responsibility for the man's death last week, so I choose to do neither. Instead, I prefer to simply keep working to improve the system as a whole: training more nurses and doctors, increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of care through improved triage and other basic structures, pushing for steady supplies of basic drugs and equipment, and conducting research into new methods to improve the delivery of emergency care in poor settings such as this. In the United States, we talk of a "Swiss cheese" model in healthcare. There are so many redundancies in our own system, that for a patient to suffer a bad and unexpected outcome, all of the holes must be lined up just perfectly. In most low-income countries, though, the healthcare system is like a single slice of Swiss cheese, with plenty of holes for patients to fall through. The greatest challenge in global health development remains adding enough layers of cheese -- enough people, enough supplies, and enough organization -- so that when a baby's life is saved it becomes the expected outcome, and chance no longer gets to take any of the credit.

To decide upon the appropriate herbal treatment the
phytotherapist must identify what actions might be indicated for the processes involved in the condition. With gastritis the inflammation
is a primary focus in deciding upon relevant actions and herbs. There are a number of herbal ways in which to reduce the inflammation, but
these do not replace any appropriate dietary of life-style changes that might be indicated.
As discussed previously the
primary options are the use of demulcents to act as a barrier between the acidic stomach content and the inflamed tissues, or
anti-inflammatories to lessen the inflammatory response within the cells. Simple demulcents are usually quite adequate as the body
will do the healing work itself given the chance. Ant-acids will temporarily relieve the symptomatic discomfort through lessening
of stomach acidity, but have little to offer as the body will respond to this by increase the secretion of hydrochloric to compensate.
Relaxing Nervines are indicated if stress and anxiety are involved.
One possible prescription
An infusion
of Chamomile or Lemon Balm sipped slowly throughout the day will help.

Eventhough each script was derived from Sanscrit, it has evolved and has its
own rule and style. Your example about the telephone can not be done without
translation. It just can not be done by switching the font alone.=20

In khmer script, there are only a few exception that the ASCII sorting rule
can not be applied. The way we write is different than the way we spell.
So, if a display device driver is written for the script, we can completely
adopt the way we spell, including the data storage. The ones than cause
the writting different from spelling are the vowels that stand before the=20
consonant. I am not sure the burmese has the same problem or not.

The advantage of the natural arrangment of the khmer alphabet is that there
are no need for any modification to the most of the existing softaware such
as spreadsheet, database etc... Only the display device driver or font=
such as kerning are needed. It might be expensive, but it will pay off in=

Stimulus, RIP
Did the stimulus bill fail? Not really, but that may not matter anymore.
The stimulus bill passed more than two years ago, when Dave Obey still chaired the House appropriations committee. Obey's now retired from Congress, working as a lobbyist, but he talks about the stimulus fight as if it's still going on. Which, in many ways, it is—only now the battle is to convince people that it wasn't failure.
"This is the era of 24-hour news cycles," said Obey, who represented Wisconsin's 7th district for 42 years before retiring in 2011. "You can have 95 percent of what you do make perfect sense, but when networks are starved for news, and politicians are starved for attention, all you need is one example of something going wrong and it's easy for demagogues to discredit what you're doing. It's like what Donald Rumsfeld said about terrorism. In order to be successful, we had to stop 100 percent of terrorist attacks. If you're a terrorist you only need to get it right once."
Veterans of the stimulus wars talk about it that way—as a war. They lost. The implication of the loss is that Keynesian economics are, arguably, as discredited with voters as neoconservative theories were discredited when the invasion of Iraq failed to turn its neighbors into vibrant democracies, highways clogged with female drivers.
This week, we got a concrete example of what it meant to lose. The Weekly Standard published a back-of-the-cocktail-napkin analysis of the seventh quarterly report on the stimulus, stipulating that every job created by its spending has cost $278,000. Republicans, who'd previously said the stimulus created no jobs, immediately started repeating the $278,000 figure. They kept doing it even after the magazine followed up, suggesting that the cost-per-job could have been as low as $185,000. $278,000, $185,000. $0.00? It didn't really matter, because the White House and liberal response was perfunctory. As the stimulus winds down, with most of the money spent, everyone knows that it failed.
This is a little strange. Yes, the economy is rotten, so voters can be excused when they pan the government's response to unemployment. But there's a lot of data that isn't terribly hard to read suggesting that the stimulus did create jobs. The analysis that the Weekly Standard tore apart found that the stimulus increased employment by about 400,000 jobs in the first quarter after it went into effect, and increased it by about 2.7 million at its peak. If you're deriding the price tag for those jobs, you're acknowledging that the jobs exist.
Did the stimulus do less than President Obama said it would? Absolutely. In the first months of 2009, when the president sold the bill, got it passed, and defended it, he tossed off predictions for job growth that got progressively higher and were never matched. At his most optimistic, he said the stimulus would be a success if it "created or saved" 4 million jobs. It fell far short of that. But ambitious, expensive bills have fallen short before, and it hasn't discredited their reasons to exist. George W. Bush's tax cuts were supposed to balance the budget by 2010. That hasn't happened, obviously, but tax cuts have not been discredited—in fact, they're central to the discussion about how to dig out of the recession now. Tax cuts are popular. When CNN polled public opinion of the stimulus in January 2010, it found that 56 percent of Americans flat-out opposed it, and 63 percent of them thought most of the funding had been included for "purely political reasons." A little while later, a CBS poll found that only 6 percent of people thought the stimulus created any jobs.
The people who wrote and defended the stimulus blame bad messaging.
"The president was never able to explain to the public that the debt and deficits being run up were not an accident," said Obey. "It was purposeful, but the administration never took on the core debate of why we had to borrow money in the short term, even though in the long term we had to pay it back. They didn't explain it, which led people to believe we were throwing money at a wall and seeing what stuck. The country needed to be re-educated about the Great Depression and the role deficit spending played in getting out of it. It needed to be told the story of 1937, when FDR prematurely pulled back from stimulating the economy."
This is what people who lose a political argument always say: We didn't get our message out. But in this case it's true. The demand-side spending argument was part of the stimulus sales pitch, but not the biggest part. When House Republicans unanimously voted against it, Democrats attacked them for their crime against "bipartisanship," and for opposing the tax cuts that made up about $280 billion of the package. Those tax cuts allowed Obama to fulfill a campaign pledge to give "a tax cut to 95 percent of Americans." The spending was more stimulative than the tax cut. The White House just didn't convince people of that.
So Keynesians started the stimulus debate in a hole, and it got deeper as watchdogs and Republicans looked for waste, frivolity, or anything that sounded like waste or frivolity. It didn't really work. When Obey uses the 95-percent-of-what-we-did-was-good line, he's hinting at how the worst-sounding stimulus projects defined the enterprise.
"Our Waterloo on this was the quote-unquote 'non-existent congressional district' problem," said Ron Klain, the former chief of staff to Joe Biden, who helped manage the effort to spot dumb-looking spending. A few hundred of the first reports on how money was being spent—a few hundred of about 90,000—misreported the details, showing spending in congressional districts that did not exist. The projects were real, the jobs were real, but there is no 57th district in Minnesota or 22nd in New Mexico. Someone had put the wrong number on a form. Still, those fictitious districts were the story. "We had a week of stories taking us apart on TheColbert Report and what not," sighed Klain.
The end result of stories like that has been a virtual collapse in the belief that government spending can spur economic growth. This week, which ended with a jobs report that points in big, flashing arrows to more recession, will change nobody's mind about the need for spending cuts. When I asked Sen. John McCain whether spending cuts should be approached with caution about the impact they'd have on employment, he rejected the premise.
"The people I rely on say that spending cuts are vital to the future of our country," he said, "because we don't want to emulate Greece. If we emulate Greece, then we have huge unemployment."
But was it a problem that the stimulus money was running out?
"We just learned, apparently, that the stimulus package was only $278,000 per job," said McCain. "We certainly can't keep that up."

The Agricultural Research Service has dedicated a new research and administrative building on the grounds of Colorado State University's (CSU) Natural Resources Research Center.
The new facility is home to three ARS research laboratories: the Soil-Plant-Nutrient Research Unit, the Water Management Research Unit and the Great Plains Systems Research Unit. ARS is the chief scientific research agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"This building will allow ARS scientists to work in state-of-the-art laboratories on campus with their CSU collaborators," said ARS Acting Administrator Edward B. Knipling.
Some 120 ARS employees will work in the new 100,000-square-foot building. The employees previously worked in separate buildings throughout Fort Collins. In addition to the research staff, the new building houses employees of ARS' Northern Plains Area Office and the agency's new National Software Support Center.

How and how often do you?
Train that is.
I have built five silhouette stands out of 2x4s for use with the brown/white cardboard targets. I have a 6 paddle dueling tree and I sometimes rig up some (very)crude moving targets with rope and pulleys. ---I know that none of these "badguys" pose any threat to my well being but... when you figure out how to make cardboard shoot back, let me know.
So I make it a point to fire no less than 100 rounds a month from my Glock. I try to keep it between 300 to 500 but you know how ammo is now.
I do some double tap drills. Some failure to stop and the ever challenging shooting while moving drill. After that I knock the steel plates around for a bit.
Once every two to three months I practice drawing and shooting from ground positions. (always gets some funny looks).
In summer months my friends and I break the Black Rifles out and try our hands at tagging targets between 30 to 100 yards. (100 is the end of the field we use as a range)
I would like to get some practice shooting in dim light but my neighbors wouldn't put up with that kind of thing for long.

due to the lack of ammo and the high winds I've resorted to a kwa airsoft glock. the look, feel, and function is nearly identical to that of a fullsize 17/22. it's good because I can practice in my apartment. in the evening I can shut off the lights and I can even put my light on it and shoot with that.
it's difficult to keep the BB's from ending up all over the apartment though...
I don't collect guns, I accumulate them.

Guys you need to reload, and all a .22 training pistol.
I shoot weekly. What I do is when I get home I load up 20 to 30 rounds. By the weekend, I have 140 or so 9mm rounds loaded (or .38s or .45s depending on what reloading equipment I graviate to.)
Then when I go practice I have a .22 unit for the Glock (and a .22 Kimber 1911 for the .45 and a .22 Smith J frame revolver for the J 642.)
So then I first, with an empty gun, do draws from concealment. Practice hip shooting, retention, one handed shooting, reloading, pivots, transitions, backpedals, etc... Then go to the .22 and do it all over again. Lastingly, use the 9mm/.38/.45. and again do it over.
By the time I'm finished, I am TIRED. And I havn't shot up all that much ammo.
And at home I use my laser glock, which is an airsoft glock I took the insides out and glued a laser to the barrel and the pressure swith under the trigger.
I turn off the lights and practice drawing and 'firing' the laser glock in all kinds of ways. You learn alot that way.

I try to practice 2400 rounds a year with my center fire handguns and as much more as I can with my Ruger MK II .22 pistol. I've also gotten 5915 shots so far this year through the co2 powered semi auto BB pistol that I shoot in my basement. I shoot the LFI Qualification Coarse at 2X speed at least or I shoot from the LFI qalification distances and stances but draw and shoot one shot at each of 3 targets per string for a variation. I do some practice at 25yds too even though it's way more likely that any self defense encounters will take place at bad breath distance!

And Willie, you can do FOF drills with other people all the time. Just wear glasses that stop lasers. Sure it don't hurt like simulations but you can set up the whole thing in any house. Just don't let the neighbors see!

Airsoft against an opponent, or, better yet, simunitions (with protective equip). Pain increases the adrenalin. Good practice. Just make darned sure it's the right gun and ammo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well ammo prices are painful so I do a bunch of different stuff.
I dry fire working on sights and triggers.
I do all different kinds of reloads: reload with retention, tactical, slide lock, etc.
I present from the holster.
I practice house clearings focusing on corners and pieing.
Sometimes I practice things like flashlights etc.
When I can get to a range I make noise and holes.

Probably not the right thread, but...
I recently picked up an Airsoft H&K USP Compact and realized after firing off a couple of rounds that my backyard could quickly become over run with BBs. Does anyone have a trick for catching the BBs?
I have resorted to this after tracking my shots fired this year and doing the math on the cost of each round. Once I changed my underwear, I went out and bought the airsoft. My hope is that it will save me money on ammo and laundry detergent.

Get a big cardboard box, fix another sheet of cardboard inside at an angle like this crappy representation...
l . .. .. . / . . . . . Hang your paper target here.
l . . . . /
l . . . / . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . You shoot from over here.
l . . /
l . /
(please don't mind all the dots in my drawing, I had to add them to make this look right when it posted.)
The angled piece will/should deflect the BBs down where they can land on a old blanket or towel. Put another towel over the back just in case any blow through.
I may or may not have made a BB catcher like this when we were shooting air soft pistols at work. I mean when we were NOT shooting air soft pistols at work. We never did that. nope.

A few times a night. If I can't sleep I will train drawing from IWB, and dry firing the gun with DA shots only just so I can get used to the first pull. 1 target in the room, practice moving, reloading, yelling commands. The living room has 3 targets.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Robert Khuzami, the head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's enforcement division, plans to step down as early as next month, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.
Khuzami notified SEC Chairman Elisse Walter of his decision earlier this month, according to Bloomberg, which cited three people with knowledge of the matter.
Khuzami, a former federal prosecutor and bank executive, came to the SEC in 2009 to help reshape the agency's enforcement efforts amid criticism that it missed the $65 billion Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme and other major frauds.
In his tenure with the agency, Khuzami oversaw efforts to pursue financial institutions that contributed to the subprime mortgage crisis.
SEC spokesman John Nester declined comment. Khuzami did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

US Copyright Group Lawsuits Based On Highly Questionable Evidence
from the here-we-go-again dept
However, as TorrentFreak reveals, in a lawsuit filed against US Copyright Group over its legal strategy (more than 100,000 sued!), it appears that GuardaLey was the real driving force behind US Copyright Group... and its technology for identifying "pirates" has been found wanting (at best). A German court in a similar case found GuardaLey's tracking software to not be very good at actually identifying infringement, since it fails to determine if any work is actually shared. Now, though the RIAA may be pushing for the idea that "making available" equals distribution, some courts have already disagreed. If it can't show actual uploads or downloads, USCG may have a tough time proving infringement.
Even more troubling are claims that GuardaLey set up honeypots to try to get IP addresses to sue. If there's a honeypot, then, as long as the content is accurate, the download is authorized since the companies doing such copyright trolling usually have licenses over the content. Or, if the file is fake, then there's no infringement, since the actual file wasn't downloaded (let alone available).
Of course, we see this kind of thing all the time, with copyright supporters insisting that all you need is an IP address to identify someone. It's a lot more complicated than that, and making that assumption while going after 100,000 people suggests that any nuances around IP addresses are completely ignored.

Ailsa Tirado: Code to Success
This event occurred in the past
Monday, September 16, 2013
From Inside USD -- Ailsa Tirado teaches C++, one of the most powerful and difficult computer languages, to the young girls of her Tijuana community. While many of us would expect only a professional computer programmer to take on this task, Tirado isn't even a computer science major — her first coding experience came in her sophomore year Introduction to Computer Programming class.
"It was really hard," Tirado said. "The first weeks were extremely difficult. But I got the hang of it. Two weeks into the course it just clicked, and I thought, 'this is not rocket science and I did not need to wait until college to learn this.'"
The insight spurred her to start Code to Success, a summer program that makes coding simple and accessible to kids that are growing up in a world with an increasing demand for computer literacy. Unfortunately, the idea of spending a summer writing lines of computer jargon didn't appeal much to her target audience, forcing her to employ a creative approach.
"I tried to structure it like a fun, attractive summer program that the kids will actually want to sign up for, because most of — I'd say, yeah, all of — the kids who are in it, weren't initially attracted to it because of the coding. So I added other components, like an etiquette component to teach the girls manners and 'girly' things like how to walk in heels."
While high heels and coding may not seem like an intuitive pair, Tirado ties them together for the larger, more profound lesson to pass on to her students.
"One of the essential components is, particularly, empowering girls," she said. "As an engineering student, I sit in a classroom and there are not a lot of girls pursuing a career in the same field as I am, and sometimes it's just because nobody tells them that they can. I want them to be empowered, and I want them to have that confidence to walk into that office for that interview, or just to walk into their computer programming classes when they're in college, and have that confidence that, 'I can do this.'"
Tirado, entering her junior year as an Industrial and Systems Engineering major, has tackled her goal with purpose, drawing on USD's unique and abundant support for Changemaker students and their projects. She is mentored by Michael Lovette-Colyer, assistant vice president and director of USD's University Ministry, who has helped Tirado make the program into the resounding success it has been.
The same girls who came to her with no coding knowledge at all are now able to look at major websites — such as Collegeboard.com, which is also used as part of Code to Success' college preparation lessons — and code different aspects of the website from scratch.
"If it weren't for … the Changemaker Summer Fellowship at USD and a group — a network — of people willing to support me, I don't think I would've carried it out. I'm really grateful for this opportunity and the fellowship. It isn't just financial support: it's been the mentorship, the encouragement, the affirmation that's really made it all possible."
Tirado intends to take the program further, and praises other initiatives such as Code.org and She++ for helping to dispel the mystique of coding for a generation of girls who are in a position, if properly equipped, to go on and become Changemakers in their own way.
"Coding is intimidating and it is scary sometimes, but I want these girls to get rid of that fear," she said. "I think there's a lot of potential for Code to Success and for programs like this. It started in Tijuana, but … it doesn't have to stay here."

My question is why don't people get motivated and go to the polls and vote? It really is not much trouble to go vote and when we think of the price many have paid to give us that right, we should be ashamed not to vote.

The next generation of Sony consoles will run on miniature nuclear generators, according to reports. There has been speculation that an announcement was about to be announced to speculate on the existence of a teaser; but this was quickly shot down by Sony PR, who attributed the rumours to rumour-mongering and idle speculation before tossing a smoke bomb at the floor and running out the back exit.

Despite some technical difficulties, the Washington State Health Benefit Exchange has gone live and people who have no health insurance will have the opportunity to sift through competing plans on-line, over the phone or with an in-person assister to find affordable coverage.
The enrollment period for health care plans on the exchange started yesterday for coverage that begins on Jan. 1, 2014. As of next year, everyone must have health insurance or pay a fine of up to 1 percent of their income when filing federal income taxes in 2015.
People who already have health insurance through their employer, Medicare or Medicaid will see few, if any, changes. The Affordable Health Care Act sets some new standards for health insurance companies, but otherwise coverage will stay the same.
People who have no insurance or are currently covered by Washington Basic Health will need to shop for a private insurance plan that fits their needs. The state exchange, Washington Healthplanfinder, offers one-stop shopping with guarantees for each private insurance plan listed.
In Yakima and Kittitas counties, more than 100 in-person assisters have been trained to answer questions and help people get through the sign-up process. Most local medical clinics, including every location run by Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic, Sunnyside Community Hospital and Yakima Neighborhood Health, can refer patients to an in-person assister.
Jorge Rodriguez, the Central Washington coordinator for Healthplanfinder, said that more assisters are being trained and will be available at clinics and at special events throughout the community. For instance, assisters were set up at the Central Washington State Fair to help people understand the new law.
"A lot of people will be fine signing up for health care on their own, some will need help," said Rodriguez. "We will be here to make sure people have the help they need."
Each health plan available on the exchange offers coverage in 10 basic areas: ambulatory patient services; emergency services; hospitalization; maternity; mental health; prescription drugs; rehabilitative services and devices; laboratory services; preventive and wellness services, and chronic disease management; and pediatric services.
In addition to the exchange, the Affordable Care Act also extends Medicaid in Washington state to include any individual making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, about $15,281 a year. People who use the exchange will be checked for eligibility for Medicaid.
Many people who do not qualify for Medicaid will qualify for subsidies that will lower the cost of health insurance. The subsidies will be determined by a person's expected income over the year. At the end of the year, the subsidies will be checked against each person's federal income tax and adjustments will be made if necessary.
Although people who already have insurance will not be directly impacted by the exchange, some insurance companies may increase premiums anyway. Those increases are not mandated by the law and, according to insurance agent Don Hinman, will probably go back down within two years.
"Every time there is a change in the market, insurance companies overcharge for awhile," said Hinman. "But it will settle down in a year or two and if the insurance company does not spend at least 80 percent on health coverage, people will get a refund on their premiums under the new law."
People are clearly interested in the health exchange. Yesterday morning the Healthplanfinder website slowed due to heavy traffic and was taken offline to fix the technical issues. It was back online as of 1:30 p.m. yesterday, but users may still experience slow loading times over the next few days.
Richard Onizuka, CEO for the Washington Health Benefit Exchange, urged all applicants to save their information and return to the website later if the site becomes extremely slow. People who do not wish to use the website can sign up with a local in-person assister.
To find out more information, people can call 1-855-WAFINDER (1-855-923-4633) or TTY/TDD 1-855-627-9604, email firstname.lastname@example.com, visit wahealthplanfinder.org or visit a local medical clinic and ask for assistance signing up for health insurance.

It's still early, but Deuce McAllister has to be the overwhelming favorite for the biggest fantasy flop of 2004.
McAllister was a consensus top-6 pick in most leagues, but his stat line to date 19 carries, 58 yards, two fumbles lost in two games ranks among the NFL's worst. If your league penalizes fumbles (most do), you'd have been better off starting seldom-used Ravens fullback Alan Ricard (one carry, 1 yard) than McAllister.
On top of that, McAllister has a high ankle sprain that will keep him on the shelf for the next 4-5 weeks, plenty of time for Deuce drafters to contemplate their rotten luck.
McAllister's was the most important injury in an injury-filled weekend that knocked a handful of the NFL's impact players out of action and left fantasy owners scrambling for alternatives.
Priest Holmes and Edgerrin James might sit out this weekend. McAllister, Todd Heap and Tommy Maddox could miss a month or two. Rookies Kellen Winslow and Julius Jones could be lost for the season. What it all adds up to is a lot of holes on fantasy rosters.
Holmes (sprained ankle) and James (strained hamstring) haven't been ruled out, but both are listed as questionable enough to raise more than a few eyebrows. The nature of their injuries and the uncertainty of their status make either a risky play in Week 3, but leaving them on the bench is equally risky. The most an owner can do is monitor their situations carefully and hope to avoid the dreaded game-time decision. Derrick Blaylock (K.C.) and Dominic Rhodes (Indianapolis) stand to benefit most if either Holmes or James can't go.
McAllister's injury is potentially disastrous for his owners, who will be lucky to salvage a .500 record in his absence. Former No. 1 draft pick Ki-Jana Carter and Aaron Stecker will split carries for New Orleans in the meantime. Carter should be the better of the two and a decent pick-up, but neither will approach the value of a healthy McAllister.
Maddox, who is out at least six weeks with an elbow injury, shouldn't have been a fantasy starter, but his injury does clear the way for intriguing rookie Ben Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger won't have much value in the short term, but he showed flashes of ability against the Ravens and might be worth stashing for down the road if you can afford the roster spot. More importantly, Roethlisberger's presence should give a slight boost to the values of Hines Ward and Plaxico Burress.
Jones' stock has fallen quite a bit since he joined the Cowboys in April. Drafted as a potential starter, he carried five times for 16 yards in two games and now is out for at least two months possibly the season with a shoulder injury. That creates an interesting situation in the Dallas backfield, where Eddie George will continue to get carries for lack of a better option. But Bill Parcells didn't want Dallas to sign George to begin with, and the Cowboys reportedly were shopping the aging back around a few weeks ago. Once healthy, Richie Anderson could have some value.
The injuries to Heap (out 2-4 weeks with a sprained ankle) and Winslow (out 8-10 with a broken leg) are particularly significant given the shallow pool among tight ends. With two of the top five TEs out of the picture, consider these adequate replacements Eric Johnson (San Francisco), L.J. Smith (Philadelphia), Chris Cooley (Washington), Erron Kinney (Tennessee) or Ernie Conwell (New Orleans). All five should be available, and all five have scored at least one TD already this season. The same can't be said for Heap, Winslow, Tony Gonzalez or Jeremy Shockey.
Quick hitters
Week 2's top five performers: Donovan McNabb, Aaron Brooks, Joey Harrington, Curtis Martin and James. Most surprising in that bunch is Martin, who already has twice as many TDs this season (4) as he did all of last year. He's tops among fantasy running backs through two weeks and ranks behind only McNabb and Daunte Culpepper in overall scoring. The next best thing to owning Martin right now might be facing the team that does this week the Jets have a bye. Open dates will also take Corey Dillon (New England), Travis Henry (Buffalo) and DeShaun Foster (Carolina) out of the mix this week.
Foster led all running backs in Week 2 with 172 yards rushing in place of the injured Stephen Davis. Keep in mind that those big numbers came against a helpless Kansas City defense that made Quentin Griffin look like a Hall of Famer a week earlier. At the same time, owners lucky enough to have Foster should be glad he's finally getting a chance and find a way to get him into their lineup. Just not this week.
I take back what I said about Roy Williams not only is he a useful fantasy receiver, he was the best one in the NFL last weekend. I said last week that rookie receivers weren't worth starting, and Williams made me look foolish by catching two touchdown passes against Houston. But hey, I'm not perfect I cost myself a win this week by starting Steven Jackson (3 carries, 10 yards) over Koren Robinson (66 yards receiving, 1 TD). Point is, go ahead and play Williams. He's good.
Starting Culpepper and Randy Moss is a given, but that duo figures to put up some particularly ridiculous numbers this week against a depleted Chicago secondary. The Bears will be without two players who started last week Mike Brown (out for the season) and Charles Tillman (out 7-10 weeks) and another (Jerry Azumah) who is still recovering from offseason surgery.
A few muddled backfield situations began to clear up in Week 2. Henry got the bulk of the carries over Willis McGahee for Buffalo (21 attempts to 2); William Green over James Jackson in Cleveland (19-3); Chicago's Thomas Jones over Anthony Thomas (23-5); and Warrick Dunn over T.J. Duckett in Atlanta (14-9).
Starting nod
Quarterback: Brett Favre, Green Bay He won't allow a repeat of last week's rough outing at Chicago, especially against a suspect Indianapolis pass defense.
Running back: Marshall Faulk, St. Louis Has 10 TDs in seven career games vs. New Orleans; Domanick Davis, Houston Any back looks like a good play right now against K.C.'s porous defense.
Wide receiver: Laveranues Coles, Washington The Redskins' top target will get his first TD of the season Monday night vs. the Cowboys; Peerless Price, Atlanta Has yet to live up to the hype with the Falcons, but should have a big day against the Cardinals.
Tight end: L.J. Smith, Philadelphia Two touchdowns in two games; McNabb seems to like this guy.
Kicker: Jason Hanson, Detroit Philly's defense won't give up a lot, but the Lions' offense is good enough to give Hanson a chance to put up some points.
Defense: Miami The Dolphins don't have much on offense, but their defense is as good as ever and facing a Cleveland team that struggled mightily last week at Dallas.
Ravens report
The big news is Heap's ankle injury, which takes one of the league's top tight ends out of the mix for a few weeks. Baltimore's offense relies on production from the tight end, which means youngster Daniel Wilcox should put up above-average fantasy numbers in Heap's stead.
Jamal Lewis has yet to have the kind of big-yardage game that fans came to expect last season. Of his 62 yards against the Steelers, more than half (36) came on the Ravens' opening drive. But Lewis got in the end zone twice last week and could actually see a spike in value with Heap sidelined. One fewer red zone option means more carries near the goal line for Lewis. Defenses will continue to key on him, but that's been the case for most of his career in Baltimore and it has yet to slow him down.
As a change of pace, the Ravens will turn to Chester Taylor, who is coming off the best rushing game of his career (76 yards). He's earned playing time and should continue to get 5-10 carries a game, which means he's worth grabbing if you can get your hands on him. He's one of the NFL's better backups and should start if Lewis misses any time while facing federal drug charges later this season.
Another Raven who might be worth grabbing is receiver Randy Hymes, who looks capable of making big plays and seems to have a good chemistry with Kyle Boller. Hymes had a 39-yard TD catch negated by a penalty out on Sunday, but he'll have more chances to get into the end zone in the coming weeks.

Showing off her amazing body in her latest spread for the July 2012 issue of Playboy, Jenny McCarthy proves that any woman can battle the body breakdowns that come from age and motherhood.
The 39-year-old blondie looks flawless as she donned red lipstick and her bare bod in her vintage pin-up girl spread for the men's magazine, which was released on Friday (June 29).
This is the "Love in the Wild" host's sixth time gracing Playboy's cover and she looks better than ever and said in her interview that, "The one thing I like about Playboy is they don't have the anorexic look. The women are voluptuous. So I didn't really want to diet. I just wanted to tone up."
The 1993 Playmate of the Year recently joked to E! News about her career path saying, "All I wanted to do [when I began in the industry] was work with my clothes on, and now I just hope to get them off!"
Speaking of her first shoot, in the mag she says, "I'm not the girl with the ribbon holding her pinkie in her mouth," adding, "I still have that side to me, but this really strong chick came out."

Today I am excited to have my good friend, Colleen, as a guest blogger. She makes the most charming bags, clothes, and accessories, and blogs at The Busy Bean; On top of which, she is a fantastic cook.
Today she has consented to share with us her delicious recipe for Pumpkin Chowder. It's quick, super easy, and so, so yummy!
I absolutely love the fall. It's getting chilly and I know Christmas is just around the corner. I love snuggling in with warm meals that make my house smell like home. Here's my favorite soup for fall. The best part is that if you've got some canned vegetable soup mix, it only takes about 10 minutes to make! That's a bonus when you get home late from work on a cold night and want something warm and homey without taking a lot of time.
Here's what you'll need:
butter, flour, milk, nutmeg, salt & pepper, canned pumpkin and vegetables. I use my home canned vegetable soup mix. If you don't can, just chop up potatoes, celery, carrots, and onion. Put it all in a pot, just cover with water, and boil until your vegetables are soft, but not soggy. Throw in some frozen peas and/or corn at the end and you'll be all set.
Start by making a roux. Combine your flour and butter in a pot and mix with a wooden spoon. Here's the most important step of the whole process: Season your roux! I learned this from my sister, who does not really have a great love of cooking, but boy can that girl make a good soup! If you season your roux, you will get a much better flavor and use a lot less seasoning than if you add the seasoning later.
Stir the roux until it's very lightly brown and bubbly. You'll notice that you can't smell the flour anymore... it smells more woodsy. That's when you're ready to add the milk. Switch to a whisk when you add the milk, that way you won't get lumps.
Keep whisking until the mixture starts to thicken. You'll know it's ready to move on when you can run your finger across the back of your spoon and the milk doesn't run right back and cover up your track.
Now throw your pumpkin in and mix until it's combined.
Add your vegetables, without draining the water (unless you've got a lot of water... basically you just want enough liquid to make it a good consistency. If you like runny soups, add more water or milk. I like mine thick, so I only add what water barely covers the veggies).
Make sure your soup is evenly heated through, then enjoy! {Here's where I should be sharing a picture of the finished soup all pretty in my lovely bowls. Except I didn't take pictures before we devoured it. And I don't have lovely bowls. Maybe I'll get some one day...} Here's the recipe:
Pumpkin Chowder
2 Tblsp Butter (Unsalted)
2 Tblsp Flour
2 C Milk (Whole is best... skim is healthier and almost as good)
1 small can Pumpkin
1 Quart Vegetable Soup Mix
1 tsp Ground Nutmeg
Salt & Pepper to taste
Make a roux with butter and flour (I use unsalted butter, that way I control exactly how much salt is in my food. If you're using salted butter, just add less salt). Add nutmeg, salt and pepper. Once your roux is lightly browned and bubbly, whisk in milk. Stir until mixture begins to thicken. Stir in canned pumpkin until combined. Add vegetables and simmer until soup is warmed through.
Thanks, Colleen! Don't foget to visit her blog for more yummy recipes and fun craft ideas. And if you're looking for fun holiday gift ideas, stop by her store!
