1013 intelliCarve
The 1013 intelliCarve is a scaled down version of its predecessor the 1015 but with the same capabilities. With a 13" x 18" capacity carving machine capable of producing 2D and 3D carvings the 1013 will retail around $2100. The 1013 includes I-picture software which immediately allows the user to get started carving from the library of designs included with the package. The neatest feature of the I-picture software is its ability to import photographs or other jpeg images to produce carvings and 3D lithophanes allowing the intelliCarve to produce a broad range of projects. Sign making, decorative 3D pieces, and lithophanes are just a small sample of activities the intelliCarve can perform. Servo motors give an accuracy of 0.004" ensuring picture perfect results with only minor sanding. Its design and use of composite materials makes the 1013 virtually maintenance free. Simply blow off the dust and its ready to go. Also included with the machine is a 15,000RPM DC brushless spindle motor. Selling price around $2000.
1015 intelliCarve
The intelliCarve is a 3-axis CNC controlled carving machine capable of transferring three-dimensional images onto a work piece. The intelliCarve is capable of handling a maximum work piece dimension of 15" x 20" x 4". Capable of working with wood, plastic, ceramic, acrylic, corian, avonite, plexi-glass or other comparable materials, the intelliCarve easily and accurately performs any operation you throw at it. Cutting, engraving, etching, or routing, the intelliCarve welcomes any operation. From engraving signs, transferring digital pictures to 3D carvings, intricate parts for projects or even lithophanes the intelliCarve is the perfect choice for the savvy woodworker. The possibilities are endless with your imagination being the only limitation. Sells for under $5000.

Taxation of TrustsPosted By Spencer M. Baxter, Esq.There is a great deal of confusion about the taxation of trusts. In this article, I hope to cut through the jargon and lawyer mumbo jumbo (technical term) so that you will have a better understanding of how trusts are treated by the tax code. First, we need to step away from a monolithic view of the tax code. There are many different types of federal tax that could impact a trust at different ...Continue Reading

I always wanted a firefly that looked more modern and still had a lot of neat accessories. For me this was a easy figure to make. Not much to him but it's effective. I debated on coloring the goggle lens neon green for a more "firefly" look, but settled on red. If I come across another set of goggles I will paint them green. Also I loved firefly v.2 waist . It has a lot of neat accessories on it like a zip line he can use to strangle enemy's from behind.

The FDIC just published the most recent edition of their Supervisory Insights (Winter 2009). There are some interesting topics covered this quarter and, given my firm's focus on measuring interest rate risk for community banks, one article in particular caught my eye:
"Nowhere to Go but Up: Managing Interest Rate Risk in a Low-Rate Environment"
FDIC Supervisory Insights, Winter 2009
Throughout the article they talk about the need for simulation, scenario analysis, and stress-testing. This is precisely what we do every quarter for every bank in the country to generate our peer group data on interest rate risk.
The best quote from the article comes in just the third paragraph, "Recent FDIC Call Report data suggest financial institutions are becoming…more exposed to increases in interest rates." I certainly agree with this observation. Data sited in the article supports the case: higher concentrations of longer-term assets and more use of less-stable funding sources. However while they mention that simulation is the best way to measure interest rate risk exposure, they don't run a simulation themselves and therefore can't present any simulation results - fortunately Olson Research can.
Our summary short-term interest rate risk measurement shows that indeed more banks are exposed rising rates. While the level of net interest earnings at risk exposure remains about the same, between 6.5% and 8.5%, the number of banks exposed to rising rising rates has increased (see graph at the right). When the target Fed Funds rate reached its lowest point in the 4th quarter of 2008 the number of banks exposed to rising rates was 64%. After three more quarters of historically low rates the number of banks exposed to rising rates is 71%.

Good afternoon parents,
Winter is here! It just seems like just yesterday that we were all enjoying our typical extended SE QLD summer, now an icy chill is in the air. For families living down the mountain, remember to subtract 4-5 degrees from the temperature at home and pack a jumper for when your children get to the College. Tamborine Mountain also experiences more rainy days than the surrounding areas of the Scenic Rim and Gold Coast, so please pack a small umbrella in your child's bag on potentially wet days.
Thank you for your continued support of the College. I have been interviewing new Prep students for 2018 this week, and the new families have reported to me many times that it is our current families who are spreading the word about the wonderful things that are happening up here at TMC.
Kind regards,
Mark Stevens
Head of Primary
Parents and Friends Meeting
Please come along to these monthly meetings when you see them advertised. It is an opportunity to listen to reports from Mrs Melbourne and I regarding the goings-on at TMC, as well as providing a forum for parent feedback. We supply tea and coffee (and Tim Tams!) and the meetings are held inside the uniform shop. We run them from 2:00 pm until the end of school at 2:50 pm, so if you are able to come early before picking up your children please feel welcome to join us.
Prep – Year 12 Cross Country
Last week's Prep – Year 12 Cross Country was a huge success, with Kyle House being awarded the overall winners on the day. Walton House actually won the points race in the Primary, but Kyle ran away with it when the points from our Secondary school were factored in. Well done, Kyle House members!
We value feedback at Tamborine Mountain College. Please use the following list as a guide to providing feedback at the College:
- Classroom suggestions and queries should be communicated directly to the teacher/s involved. Contact details for all TMC staff are located on our website.
- Feedback regarding 'big picture' items can come directly to me – either via my email [email protected], dropping by my office for a quick chat, or by scheduling a meeting with me if the discussion would benefit from a more formal setting. Please call the College on 07 5545 3644 to organise an appointment if this is the case.
- Any issues that require the attention of Mrs Melbourne should ideally be raised in an appointment with her, although she does have an open door to immediate concerns etc.
New Building, the Maureen Nicholls Learning Centre, Starts
The construction fencing has gone up for TMC's next building, the Maureen Nicholls Learning Centre, due for completion towards the end of this year. Fortunately, we have seen the end of building work near our Primary classrooms, and this next construction phase will occur around the periphery of the College campus.
2017 TMC Open Day
Our annual Open Day is on Saturday, 6 May. The Open Day is a chance for our College community, and the community at large, to visit the College to find out the great things that happen here. Please come along and visit the classrooms that will be open for all. If you have friends or family who have never been to TMC, please bring them along as our guests for the morning.
Our wonderful P & F will be running a complimentary tea and coffee stall on the Open Day. Tim Guymer (President) and Shannon Jamieson (Vice-President) would love to hear from any parents who are able to contribute some baked goodies for the stall. Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated. Please email [email protected] to register your interest in helping out.

So after a crazy day of flying and delays, layovers, standby and other fun stuff like that, I finally made it safely to Vicksburg Mississippi. (I left my notebook in my room, so I will tell that story later.) Today was a long day of "in-processing", which is basically the beginning of orientation, as well as being issued our uniforms. For the most part it has been a "relaxing" day, in the sense that even though all the orientation stuff is going on, I know that everything is working out and not much has happened so far that has thrown me for a loop (yet). Today reminded me in a way of working at Lowe's--on my feet on concrete for most of the day, lots and lots of walking, carrying stuff, helping people figure out what was happening next.
On an interesting note, last night I tried fryed catfish. Not really a big fan, but then again, I am not really a big fan of seafood in general.

I've been modifying a hat dummy over the past few weeks. I got tired of the stubby faceless ones I'd been using for years, plus the styrofoam gets beat up pretty easily and shows every little mark. I wanted something with a little more personality and durability, and the fiberglass "realistic" hat dummies are kind of creepy, so…
Enter papier mache. This was kind of fun because I haven't played with papier mache in about 15 years.
I hacked the head apart from the base, and inserted dowels and an empty cardboard tube to extend the neck.
Padding out the neck…
First layer down. No face yet.
Several layers later, I realized that I've never tried to sculpt a realistic face before. And this one was starting to look like an alien. Oh crap.
So I googled for sculpting tutorials and found some that made me go "ohhhhhhhhh" and then I took a paring knife to the face (therapeutic!) and sort of improved it, but it still looks kind of flat. This is compounded by the fact that I have a flat Asian face and I am trying to sculpt one with Caucasian contours. So looking in mirrors doesn't really help. Aaaugh.
Still pretty decent for my first time out, so I'm going to put a final layer on and paint it matte white, and then use it to take photos of hats.

I am jaha Knight and I am a serial entrepreneur.
I started side-hustling in business at the age of 15. And not with what you would expect. Back then I slung hair weaves instead of pixels. I braided hair into my college years. Instead of cosmetology, I decided to get my degree in design. As soon as I picked up a mouse, y'all...it was on and poppin'. I loved to make things beautiful and design was a great way to do it.
Shortly after learning the ins and outs of design I started freelancing. I worked for many publications before I started a couple of my own. Though freelancing was simple, the publications, unfortunately didn't do so well.My problem was -- I was great at design, management of people, distribution and the like but
But then I hit a wall. I didn't know anyone else, networking events were often excuses for drinks and laughs and I couldn't figure out how to make more money...so I turned to different resources. I started reading, testing, taking courses and hiring coaches until I got all the juice I could out of the things I learned. Then I began rolling those options out to clients only to see their eyes light up when they were able to get effective results for their businesses.See this time my business didn't fail. I found the right vehicle, right circumstances and the right audience for what I wanted to offer. So my business grew quarter after quarter and year over year. And so did my clients' businesses.
That's a Soulphisticated Guarantee,

Advent Air leads the way in air conditioning & cooling furnaces & heating HVAC service & replacement
With informed, confident customers, a highly-trained, supported team, and unmatched standards for ethics in our industry.
With informed, confident customers, a highly-trained, supported team, and unmatched standards for ethics in our industry.
The process with Advent is simple: Our technician will come to your home when it's convenient for you and evaluate your current needs. He or she will then sit by your side and show you the step to step process in a convenient and thorough digital walk-thru, building out the perfect system for your budget, your energy bill, and your peace of mind. You'll see your options and make decisions for your home with an experienced and conscientious partner in home comfort with you every step of the way.
Think about how it will feel to make your next HVAC purchase in partnership with a 30+ year veteran in the industry that's family-owned, employee-empowered, award-winning (especially for Ethics), and cares about the comfort in your home as much as you do. Advent Air: We lead the way so you can take comfort in your new home environment!
• AC Repair & Maintenance • 24/7 Emergency AC Servicing • Ductless Cooling Systems • Air Conditioner System Installation • Furnace Service & Repair • Furnace & Heat Pump Installation • Ductless Split Heating • Commercial AC & Heating Services • Commercial Air Quality • Commercial HVAC Installation • Residential Air Purification & More Air Quality Services
This Consumer Digest Best Buy brings you up to 20.5 SEER to slash away at your energy bill while keeping you top-level comfortable. There is no other ducted heat pump that can offer you 13 HSPF which basically means when you want to be warm, you'll be toasty. The cooling capabilities are intuitive, too.
Greenspeed technology is adaptable in a way that no other system can be. This system provides you exactly the heating or cooling your home requires without using excess energy to do it, like most other systems would. That means you're staying eco-friendly and saving green on your utility bills without sacrificing a moment of comfort. Bonus: It's quiet because it isn't over-exerting. We love this system and we can't wait to put them in more homes this year.
For some homes, it just isn't necessary to get your ducts in a row. Ductless mini-split systems provide exactly what they say they will: heating and cooling capabilities without the need for ductwork. We love outfitting homes with ductless systems – when they're the right fit for the needs of the household – because they are quiet, adaptable and zone-friendly, and insanely efficient (up to 23 SEER for high-end options). These systems are clean and straightforward to install, operate, and enjoy. To learn more about the benefits of ductless systems, check out our ductless page here.
We're crazy about financing. We understand that most homeowners have several pressing bills and plans for their income that may or may not include HVAC services and products. We understand that surprises happen when you own your own home and that even when we plan for a big purchase, we can still experience sticker-shock.
Rather than expect our customers to be ready for their big purchase when the time comes or shoo then away, we found a compromise we can all be comfortable with. Our financing options are customer-focused and geared toward wide-range acceptance, flexibility, and forgiveness. DON'T put off replacing your outdated HVAC system because you're worried you can't buy it outright today – monthly payments are very common and can help you get comfortable in your home sooner!
Why are "ethics" so important in the HVAC industry? If you hire an HVAC company that doesn't care about ethics, you might experience shoddy or unsafe repair work, hiked up or bait-and-switch products, under-educated technicians, poor customer service, a total runaround, or worse – a technician who isn't licensed, hasn't been background checked, and shouldn't be doing work in your home. Ethics matter.
Fortunately for you, and our other customers, we win awards for ethics. The Torch Award for Ethics from the Better Business Bureau is awarded to companies in any industry, nationwide who exemplify ethical and conscientious business practices and we hold that award. We're very proud of that alongside our other industry-leading awards from Carrier, local awards in our country, and more.
"If a job does not meet all three of these points then we are not doing it."
Mike Douglas, President, Advent Air, Inc.

By Gary Gastelu
Published January 03, 2018
A high-speed pursuit in South Dakota ended with a grim discovery when police found the body of a dead woman wrapped in a blanket in the back of the SUV they were chasing.
The incident was outlined by a South Dakota Highway Patrol trooper in a court affidavit filed on Tuesday. The Associated Press reports that the vehicle was first spotted going 100 mph on I-90 near Spearfish and hit a top observed speed of 118 mph as the driver tried to avoid being pulled over.
Some 45 miles later outside Rapid City, police laid a spike strip in the road ahead of the car, which caused it to come to a stop in a ditch. The driver, Tosten Walsh Lommen, 30, of Santa Cruz, Calif., ran from the scene but was quickly apprehended as he tried to climb over a fence.
Police found a beer growler and prescription drugs in the car, and a breath test determined that Lommen had a blood alcohol level of .142, which is well above the state's legal limit of .08. A search of the vehicle, which did not belong to Lommen, then turned up the body. Authorities have not revealed the cause of death or the identity of the deceased.
Lommen has not yet been charged with any crimes connecting him to the death as the investigation continues, but is being held in Pennington County Jail with a bond set at $2.5 million.
Keloland News reports that Lommen had previously faced DUI charges in California and had a restraining order filed against him in 2015 by a woman — not the same woman, however, listed as owner of the SUV he was driving in the South Dakota incident.
Sources tell Newscenter1 that the vehicle belonged to Lommen's mother, with whom he lived in Palm Springs, Calif., according to public records.

Seen at Oktoberfest
This photo series was taken as part of a 'Moment' project. I had the opportunity to go to a local Oktoberfest and photograph the people attending. I felt that the energy and excitment was infectious and I tried to pick out individuals amongest the crowd to capture a picture of.
Three of these photos were turned in for my project, but here I have included a few of my favorites as well.
Thank you for checking out my work!

Eco Engineering Acquiring Lighting Optimizers
Strategic acquisition expands Eco Engineering's resources and expertise in the education and government customer segments
(January 22, 2015 Cincinnati, Ohio) – Eco Engineering, the largest independent design and build engineering firm in the US energy efficient lighting industry, announced today that it has successfully completed the acquisition of Lighting Optimizers USA, a regional lighting services firm headquartered in Tipp City, Ohio. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Lighting Optimizers, USA was founded in 2011 to provide turn-key, professional lighting retrofit design and implementation services for affiliated company Energy Optimizers USA (EOU) which specializes in the Educational and Government market segments. Over time, Lighting Optimizers grew to provide services to other Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) and directly to end user customers. As EOU experienced rapid growth in the past few years servicing the complete energy efficiency needs of this marketplace, management found itself with increased challenges managing the growth of its lighting business.
Eco Engineering has acquired all of the assets of Lighting Optimizers and hired nearly all of the 30 employees on staff. The acquisition gives Eco increased capacity and specialized skills to offer expanded lighting upgrade services to its ESCO customers who focus on K-12, higher-education and government facilities; markets that Eco Engineering addresses with an ESCO partner. Guaranteed energy savings claims are often used in these markets to offset the costs associated with the energy efficiency project. Upgrades to lighting and lighting controls, the core focus of Eco Engineering, are often responsible for a very large percentage of the savings.
"Eco Engineering remains committed to helping our customers reduce their energy operating costs while making a positive impact on the environment," said Tom Kirkpatrick, Eco Engineering President and CEO. "The acquisition of Lighting Optimizers strengthens our resources to better serve the K-12, higher-education and government markets." Kirkpatrick added that "recent advances in LED lighting technology and advanced lighting control systems have provided opportunities for building owners who upgraded their lighting just a few years ago to reduce the lighting portion of their electric bill up to an additional 75%."
In addition to serving its ESCO clients, Eco Engineering's primary business is providing energy efficient lighting services to both Fortune 1000 firms and regional businesses. The company has a distinctive profile in that they are an engineering and design firm which comprehensively audits the existing lighting infrastructure of major facilities to optimize the savings potential from upgraded lighting systems, controls and technologies. Eco Engineering also provides turn-key execution services and performs all project implementation; build out of the new design and EPA compliant disposal services. In addition, the firm helps clients qualify for any federal, state or local utility incentives to reduce project expense and boost return-on-investment.
Eco Engineering completed over 500 projects in 2014 involving large office buildings, industrial facilities, schools, hospitals, hotels and distribution centers. The combined impact of these projects was a reduction of 100 million kilowatts of electricity per year and more than $10 million in annual energy savings for their customers. The company has been growing rapidly in recent years and expects continued double-digit growth as more and more businesses recognize the importance of sustainability and the huge potential for saving money on their electric bills.
About Eco Engineering
For over 20 years, Eco Engineering has helped its customers reduce operating costs through increased energy savings while playing a part in preserving the environment for generations to come. Eco Engineering is a national design build engineering firm who specializes in upgrading large facilities to energy efficient lighting and lighting controls. Eco has completed thousands of successful projects for customers such as AT&T, Kellogg, Anheuser-Busch, USG Corporation and numerous schools and hospitals.

Simple web application with Spring Security: Part 12
In this part, we add some code that lets us see the ACL populated database tables that we added to our application in the last post in this series.
ACL Demo Page
Basically we are going to create our own domain value-objects that will represent each ACL table and create a DAO per ACL value-object so we can access the data. All the data will be displayed on one jsp page (acldemo.jsp). On this page will be the explanation of each of the ACL Tables and their columns.
Our example sets up the domain object project (specifically the ProjectImpl, implementation) and creates entries in the ACL tables so we may restrict certain access to specific instances of ProjectImpl.
Getting the code
The code for this part is tagged and available for viewing online at: http://code.google.com/p/spring-security-series/source/browse/#svn/tags/SpringSecuritySeriesWAR-Part12

Being an entrepreneur, a Franchisor Founder, I have done business in a wide variety of parts of our world I truly have started to begin to see the world much in a different way. I see a variety of challenges coming if this involves global trade and worldwide business. Let me discuss various real situation studies which have triggered me concern. The thing is, when nations trade they often don't have wars – therefore we require an even playing area to avoid trade wars, and will also help to keep the peace. Let us discuss a couple of challenges I have seen lately.
1. In September and October of 2013 – Japanese vehicle makers in China were boycotted following the Condition-Run Chinese Media designed a large deal within the disputed islands – citizen required towards the roads and expected over Japanese cars possessed by private people, put Molotov Cocktails into vehicle shops. Sales of Japanese cars was nearly zero for several weeks, still couple of individuals are purchasing them – great for GM, Audi, along with other foreign auto makers – however the US does not wish to put its feet lower on China because Wal-Mart is opening 120 new supermarkets there in 2014, GM offered more cars there than in america in 2013.
2. October 2013 a port taken care of and upgraded through the Chinese in Mexico has become delivering items into Mexico and it is controlled with armed Chinese soldiers, and lots of of individuals items are parts and elements for Mexican items which is offered in to the US market – shipped by railway, new railroad line through mountain tops to savor NAFTA preferred buying and selling benefits that China does not have around.
3. The month of january 2, 2014 – The spanish language Company companies focusing on widening the Panama Canal angry that they have had $1.5 Billion on price over runs because of alterations in conditions and terms, threatening to stop otherwise compensated by Chinese possessed Panama Canal. Meanwhile Maersk along with other shipping companies have giant shipping container ships capacity 18 to twenty,000 containers coming online now prepared to alter the entire dynamics from the shipping industry.
4. African Financial systems, emerging marketplaces at this time are increasing so quick they require more oil imports compared to what they are shipping in oil, however they cannot make use of the oil because they do not have refining abilities. Wealthiest guy in Nigeria, believed $22 Billion intentions of creating a condition-run refinery inside a government partnership since he's personal buddies using the Leader, and Bill Clinton as well as Bill Gates when they have ties attempting to fight Malaria and hunger in Africa. When they don't build the refinery, Nigeria will not have sufficient oil in-country for his or her own needs while Nigeria exports all of their oil.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. --Five billboards have been removed from buildings near the site of the Academy Awards. The so-called supergraphics were taken down on Saturday after prosecutors filed charges against several people and companies.
The battle over supergraphics has been raging for years. Last week, an L.A. businessman was jailed on $1 million bail for hanging an enormous movie ad on a building he owns on Hollywood Boulevard near the Kodak Theatre.
City law prohibits the installation of supergraphics, saying the enormous signs distract drivers and could fall and injure people if they're not properly installed. Critics also say they simply do not look good on the streets.

text: In honor of Football Saturday, how about a little spirit?! Since we are U of M fans around here (well, most of us), my daughter and I thought we'd play a little dress up in our gear. Here's the thing, I don't do t-shirts. Certain types I can do from time to time, but generally it's a big fat no. Me personally, I just look terrible in t-shirts. Seriously awful! So I have to find ways around this. I like to be festive and show my spirit at sporting events but I need a little something extra to still feel dressy and put together. [Read more…]

PubNub for Dart
This is a Dart wrapper for only the basic PubNub functionality.
Currently you can do the following:
- Connect to PubNub
- Begin listening to a channel
- React to messages in a channel
- Post a message to a channel
This is enough to cover their "Getting Started Guide".
Getting Started (Dart)
Here is PubNub's "Getting Started Guide", translated to Dart.
First, you need to include PubNub's JavaScript file in your host HTML site:
<!-- Include the PubNub Library -->
<script src="https://cdn.pubnub.com/sdk/javascript/pubnub.[version number].js"></script>
Be sure to replace
[version number] with the current version. At the time of this writing it's
4.1.0. So, it would read like this:
<script src="https://cdn.pubnub.com/sdk/javascript/pubnub.4.1.0.js"></script>
Include this Dart library:
import 'package:pubnub/pubnub.dart';
Instantiate PubNub:
var pubnubDemo = new PubNub(
publishKey: '[your-publish-key]',
subscribeKey: '[your-subscribe-key]');
(Of course replace
[your-XXX-key] with your personal keys from PubNub).
In order to send and receive JSON structures you need the JS interop package. With it, you can declare an anonymous JS class / JSON structure like this:
library example;
import 'package:js/js.dart';
class ColorMsg {
external String get color;
external factory ColorMsg({String color});
This is the equivalent of the JSON structure in the original guide:
color: 'someColor'
Add a listener:
pubnubDemo.addListener((PubNubEvent<ColorMsg> event) {
ColorMsg msg = event.message;
The listener above assumes that the messages you receive have only one type. You can leave out the generic type if you need more flexibility:
pubnubDemo.addListener((PubNubEvent event) {
var msg = event.message;
(Note that the `PubNubEvent instance is not the message that you post to the channel. This instance wraps the message, and contains additional PubNub information).
Subscribe to a channel:
Publish to a channel:
pubnubDemo.publish(channel: 'demo_tutorial',
message: new ColorMsg(color: 'blue'));
(Note again that we are sending the "JS interop" derived class from above. You can not send Dart
Map or other Dart objects directly).
And that's it. Have fun with your real-time Dart apps!

A tribute to Toby Mac's golden two decades
Artiste: Toby Mac
Album: Tonight
Genre: Christian Alternative Rock
Reviewer: John K. Abimanyi
The year was 1988; when a university-student trio in Washington DC formed a music outfit that saw a rare feat of having a black man singing lead vocals in a Hip-Hop/Rock band. The force behind that band, DC Talk, was Toby Mac. The band would go on to chart the way for the diversification of Christian Rock sound in the 1990s.
Then Toby Mac went solo and dispatched his musical versatility into producing other acts and singing through a widely ranging set of genres. Tonight, Toby's latest album, stands as testimony of his musical greatness, proving that the man, now 46, has not lost any of the steam that made him a huge force in the 1990s.
It's a collection of the compelling ballads that you have come to expect from the star, appealing to your auditory senses' emotions in one mellow song and then thrusting you in the air with a freaky one next.
Tonight (the song), Hey Devil, and Show Stopper run in that Jesus Freak mood; loud, fast and freaky. On Tonight, he features Skillet's John Cooper who comes in with his husky adlibs; and with that pushes the chorus' voltage up a few volts.
The crane then lowers the emotional hook on City On Our Knees, Wondering, and Get Back Up. City On Our Knees reveals his mellow side in a rallying call for humanity to embrace redemption. One of the more compelling tracks, it mutes the guitars till the chorus when the equaliser comes alive like the rise of baking dough.
He then goes Reggae on Break Open the Sky that features Israel Houghton of the You Will Satisfy Me fame. He however falters on Funky Jesus Music that makes a flat tasting reminder of the Funky music days.
Tonight will not leave any fans disappointed; it may even win Toby a few new fans. It is albums like these, well into one's career, that help define artists as true legends.

Myths about MWS, Programming Errors and How to Avoid Them
Written by derflippi on April 21, 2008
Myths about MWS, Programming Errors and How to Avoid Themby CMA-Flippi
Magic Workstation (MWS) is a playing application which can be seen as a mixture of Apprentice and Magic Online. It has a higher functionality than Apprentice due to having pictures and arrows implemented, which can speed up gameplay and can make communication easier for both players. In comparison to Magic Online, it works like Apprentice because it doesn't have the game rules implemented. Having many possibilities to visualize your actions, it's clearly better than Apprentice, which is one reason why it has been chosen to be magic-league's number one program.
As I've said, you have a high functionality. Unfortunately, the programming of MWS was never finished, so there are a few programming errors left. Most of these errors cause an irreparable change of the game state; the game state gets lost. Being a judge on here for quite some time now, I've tried to solve a lot of disconnections. It turned out that there are several actions that directly cause the errors; most of these are so-called Access Violations. One side of the connection tries to modify an object (like a creature) or deal with the object in another way (like drop an arrow on it). In the same moment, the other player, who usually is the controller of that object, changes the location (or an accident-sensitive state) of the same object. Objects can be permanents, libraries, cards in hand, etc each with different liabilities to errors.
When a game crashes, both players should try to reconnect. Reconnecting works via Options -> Reconnect in your game window. A successful recovery of the temporarily lost connection is the best solution. If a reconnection works, nobody will receive a penalty and you will be able to continue the game as though nothing happened. It's important that the same side that has hosted the original game opens the game again in case you're playing on a server, else, sides will be switched; you will get your opponents cards, not your own, and the reconnection ends unsuccessfully. Another common mistake is one side trying to create a new game via File -> New Game. The result is a completely lost game, the reconnection is unsuccessful.
If a disconnection without reconnection occurs, there are two options for the judge to decide. Maybe the error was caused by an illegal or improbable action, an unexpected action, one of the previously mentioned modifications of objects. In this case, the user causing the error could've avoided the mistake (and should, next time!). He made an action that directly caused the error, so it's his fault; he is responsible for the lost game state, and he receives a game loss penalty for the mistake. The other option needs to be chosen when you can't determine what caused the error or can't blame any side for committing an illegal action. In this situation, the judge should rule to replay the game (restart the game from the beginning) with some time extension. A side note: The game state (as always, there are exceptions like lethal damage on the stack) doesn't matter for rulings about disconnection issues. The reason is simple: A game isn't over until one player has won. A situation might seem obvious but never is. A player could draw a Balance or Wrath of God to completely change the situation, or a player could draw an Abolish to evade a Stasis lock. I think these few examples explain why the game state is not taken into consideration for disconnection rulings.
So what actions will cause MWS to disconnect or "crash" and what should I do or avoid doing? A good thumb rule is to never touch your opponent's cards; however, that 'rule' is in conflict with MWS' functionality. Not using arrows will require a lot more verbal communication, might cause confusion and this way, will unnecessarily delay the game. Not touching your opponent's cards includes to not add damage counters on your opponent's objects. When a creature suffers lethal damage, he will put it into his graveyard. If he makes a mistake and doesn't see it should be destroyed, tell him. Using the text chat window hasn't caused any disconnections so far. Similar to damage counters is editing your opponent's objects power and toughness or notes. Let it be, since your opponent could, at the same moment move his card to graveyard, or also modify the questioned object. While the same in theory, but in for all practical purposes different, is taking / passing control over objects. By any effect, you should gain control over an object which is currently not in your side of the game table, it's best to wait for your opponent to pass control over his card rather than make haste and grab control over it. Your opponent usually has priority anyways thus can respond to your control effect. Perfect use is to patiently wait for your opponent to pass control. If he hesitates, tell him your needs in the chat window. Probably the most common error occurs when one side is using arrows, but the other sacrifices/destroys that specific object at the same time. In this case, as with taking control, the players are asked the patiently wait until the opponent has drawn the arrow. The last relatively common known error is as follows: One player (A) shows his library and opens it. He now starts searching cards from it and dragging those to another zone. The other player (B) closes the library in the meantime, before (A) finishes his search (he drags another card away after (B) closed library). A perfect solution for (A) is to not reveal your library until your search finished. As (B), a good solution is to keep the library open until (B) has completed the search (and closed the library).
So let me now conclude what's been said: Magic Workstation (MWS) provides a high functionality for its users. It's also stable and offers a solid connection between two users if its users know the program and don't cause the errors with their use. If a game disconnects, both players should try to reconnect. If a reconnection does not work, a judge will have to decide (he will investigate the matter before) to let players replay the game or he has to give a game loss. Also there are a few actions you should avoid. If you don't you might cause a disconnection and will suffer a game loss from it!
I hope I could convince you that Magic Workstation is a good program and give you some useful information about its bugs. I will now append some situations that might come up and how I'd solve them.
If you have any question concerning such disconnection rulings, simply message me in irc.
Scenario 1
Nikita plays a Stone Rain. He intends to destroy Boris' Island, not any of the 12 Forests Boris controls. It is an obvious choice, so Boris drags his land directly to his graveyard. Unfortunately, just in that moment, Nikita wanted to draw an arrow from his Stone Rain to the Island. MWS has an error and the two are not able to reconnect.
Whose fault was it?
Boris'. When there is a spell with a target (or other spell requiring to "chose" something), the other player has to wait until the arrow is drawn (or the target was made clear else, in chat for example). Since Boris didn't wait in this scenario, he will receive a game loss because he is responsible for the error. This is also true if Boris waited for twenty seconds before moving the Island to his graveyard. He could've asked his opponent to target or name the target.
Scenario 2
Wladimir plays a Sundering Titan. His opponent has a Forest and 2 Tropical Island in play, Wladimir controls no lands. He intends to destroy both of Boris' Tropical Islands, a common choice, so Boris drags his lands directly to his graveyard. Unfortunately, just in that moment, Wladimir wanted to drawn arrows from his Sundering Titan to the Tropical Islands. MWS has an error and the two are not able to reconnect.
Whose fault was it?
Since Boris didn't wait patiently for Wladimir to arrow, he caused the game state to be lost. It's his fault, he receives a game loss.
Scenario 3
Wjatscheslaw has a Mountain Goat in play. His opponent Drew plays an Enslave, draws an arrow and then wants to take that Mountain Goat under his control. Unfortunately, just in the same moment, Wjatscheslaw also takes that action. He attempts to pass the control over his Mountain Goat to Drew. When the two simultaneously try to change control of the Mountain Goat, the game crashes. MWS has errors and the two are not able to reconnect.
Whose fault was it?
Drew's. While both would have the right to take/give control intuitionally, Drew has to wait. Wjatscheslaw can respond anyways or if not, indicate the resolution of the Enslave with his action (by passing control). Drew may not indicate the resolution by taking it for the reason listed. He is not the last one to pass priority in this case.
Scenario 4
Dmitry plays Head Games, tells his opponent George to put 6 lands in the hand. While George has his library open, he starts dragging lands into play; after the 5th land, Dmitry closes the view-window. Now George tries to drag the 6th land, but the game crashes.
Whose fault was it?
Dmitry's fault. He has control over closing the window. He shouldn't close while his opponent is dragging.

Boris should be banned from ML... 2 faults of 4 scenarios should not be a good thing =/

Nice Article i think you should link to this article in the how to start section, so new players avoid those mistakes.

I've always wondered about why those Access Violations happened.. nice article, hope it'll keep matches easier to flow.

I've been beating this drum for a while and I'm glad there is finally an official position on this.
by optcn on 2008-04-21 23:03 CET
as you said flippi, MWS was never finished. i was actually wondering who started this project, and why was it never finished? its version 0.94 now so it shouldnt be so much more work to get the errors out of it compared to all the work already put into it.
by Zerotlr on 2008-04-22 00:50 CET
Nice work Flippi, there are still some players that always take control of permanents, hope this help preventing crashes.
by Boba383 on 2008-04-22 00:51 CET
haha so there would b no point in paying the subscription fee for MWS then?? if its not gona b finished i c no point in payin sumbody for it...

If you were using Mountain Goat you should've had Goatnapper take control of it, but that's just being picky.
by Dapug on 2008-04-22 04:01 CET
"One player (A) shows his library and opens it. He now starts searching cards from it and dragging those to another zone. The other player (B) closes the library in the meantime, before (A) finishes his search (he drags another card away after (B) closed library).

Does it mean that using arrows will be mandatory now in tournaments? If you play with guy who doesn't use arrows too much and he casts terror with only one legal target (let's say goyf), should you still wait for the arrow or would you sacrifice goyf and risk potential game loss? How about if you ask that guy "are you targeting goyf?", he answers "of course dude" and then he remembers he should use arrow? Whose fault would be access violation caused by me sacrificing goyf and him trying to make the arrow?
by Holzi on 2008-04-22 11:30 CET
very nice, this was very important, because most of the people dont know how to avoid errors
by Jacois on 2008-04-22 12:36 CET

@shadowmancer: I think if judges find suspicious evidence about a player, then that player will be accused of Cheating - Fraud...

This, here, is afterglow.
This is the face of what it takes to achieve a goal.
A vigorous goal.
An almost unattainable goal.
A community goal. A, "it takes a village" goal.
A goal of deadlines, staring into screens, into phones, into each other's numb eyes whispering, "Can we do it?"
Can we do it?
This face comes after days that feel like Ground Hog Day.
On repeat, again and again.
Of coffee cups, pajama pants, and desk chairs.
Of phone stitched into body like a 6th extension.
Tired Fingers.
Warped brain.
Fuzzy peach focus.
Patches of half-eaten food on plates.
Inbox: 189 unread emails
Kitchen: 20 plates, 15 tall glasses, and all the silverware piled in a heap, and lots of take-outs.
Can we do it?
This is, "Sorry I missed it" and "Lunch next month, I promise."
This is pushing on because you Must.
When time pockets sleep and sneaks away with Here and Now.
And still, you Must.

Georgetown Police Cpl. Matthew Barlow is just like any other police officer in Delaware, except for when he isn't.
Like the time when he made a traffic stop and a passenger recognized him and told him he was a fan.
Or when he would check his voicemail at the station and sift through messages left by headbangers who have tracked him down.
"They would say things like, 'Duuude, what's up?' and stuff like that, which was kind of entertaining," Georgetown Police Chief William Topping remembers.
Before joining Georgetown Police Department 10 years ago this month, Barlow was the lead singer of heavy metal band Iced Earth, a Florida-based group with a cult-like following, having opened for acts like Megadeth and played festivals alongside Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden.
Barlow was on the band's tour bus on Sept. 11, 2001, about to kick off its biggest tour yet, an opening slot for Judas Priest, when it quickly became apparent there would be no tour immediately following the terrorist attacks on America.
Soon, he was off the bus and returning to the town where he grew up – Georgetown – to become a police officer at the age of 33.
With both of his parents in the U.S. Navy, Barlow was born at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Miss., and three months later his family moved to Georgetown to be near his grandparents, who lived in Bowers Beach.
After graduating from Sussex Central High School, he went to Delaware Technical Community College for a short time before leaving to find work. All the while, he worked on his music and was drawn to the metal scene, eventually deciding to move to Florida to try working as a musician.
Soon, he was jamming with other like-minded musicians in the Tampa area and one of the rockers, Rodney Beasley, was hired on as the drummer for Iced Earth, a power metal band with two albums to its name and a growing fan base, particularly in Europe. Beasley then recommended Barlow to replace the band's lead singer and he joined the group in 1993.
Barlow's first album fronting Iced Earth was 1995's "Burnt Offerings" – one of 11 studio albums, EPs and live records Barlow did with the group during two stints with them. His first run ended in 2003, when he joined Georgetown police, and the other started in 2007 and ran through 2011.
His first shows with the band were in front of European crowds that topped out at 10,000 people.
"I wasn't afraid of being on stage, but it is kind of daunting," says Barlow, 43, a mild-mannered redhead when not growling his metal lyrics. Back then, he had waist-length hair. Now, he has a crew cut that fits better with his current profession.
With Barlow as the band's lead singer, Iced Earth grew in popularity over the years, eventually leading to the band's biggest break yet: the planned, month-long 2001 U.S. tour of arenas and theaters with Judas Priest and Anthrax, starting at Los Angeles' Universal Amphitheater.
The band was driving out west on the tour bus when the Sept. 11 attacks happened. Barlow and the rest of the band watched every moment of television coverage thanks to satellite TV.
"I broke down, man. When I saw that second plane hit, I was bawling," he says. "It was a big event that hit a switch that made me think, 'Hey man, if you're going to do something with your life, now is the time to do it.'"
After the tour was officially canceled a few days later, Barlow began to look at the bigger picture. He was 31, married to his wife, Heather, and thinking about starting a family. He began taking online criminal justice courses with an eye on a new career after almost joining the military. (He and Heather now have two sons.)
But he was soon faced with a decision: The band was about to sign an exclusive contract with German record label SPV a year later, meaning Barlow would have to give the band a lot more of his time. He reluctantly signed it – his wife was not happy about that – and he recorded the band's next album. However, band leader Jon Schaffer did not like the way it came out and replaced Barlow with Tim Owens, who had just left a seven-year run as lead singer for Judas Priest. His decision whether or not to leave the band was made for him.
"Jon saw an opportunity and went for it. Let bygones be bygones and all that other good stuff," Barlow says. "But about six months after I got fired from there, I got hired by Georgetown and I was in the [Delaware State Police Training Academy]."
Topping, the head of the Georgetown police, was already familiar with Barlow's family when the singer found himself in an interview with the chief, trying to land his first job as a police officer. Barlow's mother, Sue, is on town council and his brother, Mike, was already a Georgetown police officer. But Topping still quizzed Barlow about why he was making such a drastic change in his life from a touring metal singer to small-town cop.
"I talked to him extensively about why he is doing this and what his real motivation was," Topping says. "I'm not a metal fan, so I didn't follow his music career very closely, but I've learned since there are many people who do."
Barlow was eying the health benefits and other perks that come with a full-time job as a police officer after years as a musician where that security is almost impossible to come by unless you're a massive success. And as a newly married man looking to start a family, he knew a change would be in his best interest.
"Honorably, he was looking out for his family," says Topping, who has had no problem with Barlow using his vacation time to tour Europe, like he will do with his new band Ashes of Ares later this month, performing nine shows in 10 days in England, France, Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland with the power metal trio.
"Being a musician is a great gift, so anytime he needs to share his gift with people, I try not to be in the way," Topping says. "I still have a police department to run, but if he needs to go somewhere and has the time, it's no sweat off my back."
In fact, Barlow has given back to law enforcement in the state using his musical skills, whether it be performing the National Anthem or during his stint performing with the First State Force Band – police and corrections officers who perform shows for schoolchildren.
These days, his musical focus is with Ashes of Ares, for which he writes all the lyrics.
The band's self-titled album was released Tuesday, and Barlow and a few other band members will host a CD release party today starting at 5 p.m. at 16 Mile Brewery in Georgetown, sponsored by the town's own rock station, 93.5 WZBH-FM, which will broadcast from the brewery.
While the band will not perform, T-shirts and CDs will be available for sale, and food will be served from the restaurants of local chef Matt Haley. All proceeds from CD sales will go to the Chad Spicer Memorial Foundation in memory of Chad Spicer, a Georgetown police officer who was shot to death while on duty in 2009. (A beef and beer fundraiser for the foundation will also be held Saturday night at the Georgetown Fire Department.)
The third track on the Ashes of Ares album is called "On Warrior's Wings." It's a tribute to Spicer that weaves Barlow's musical and police lives together in mourning.
"I think about Chad every single day. You never forget something like that. Whenever someone dies that way, it just always seem to haunt you a little bit," Barlow says, fighting back tears in his small studio and rehearsal space in a garage behind his Georgetown home. "Sometimes, it just gets me."
Even though Topping is more of a Top 40 and country fan, he is closely aligned with Barlow when it comes to the healing power of music. "Music helps us all get through a lot of different things and I think a lot of people don't realize how important music really is to us – every human," he says.
"On Warrior's Wings" finds Barlow channeling his raw pain as he sings about Spicer, whose loss shook the small town, its tight-knit police department and its songwriting officer, who has immortalized the fallen officer in song:
"The devil came and took his life/But his soul remained waitin' on St. Michael's hand, so he could lead the way/The arc angel said, 'Come with me, my brother'/And with God's touch, he granted him wings of a warrior."
What: Ashes of Ares CD release party
When: Today, 5-8 p.m.
Where: 16 Mile Brewery, 413 S. Bedford St., Georgetown

Competition: FA Cup
Market: Tottenham to win against Fulham
Odds: 10/11 @ Bet 365
Premier League title-hopefuls Tottenham Hotspur travel to Craven Cottage to face Championship playoff-chasers Fulham in the fifth round of the FA Cup this afternoon. The visitors are favourites to come out on top given the gulf in class between the two sides, but Fulham are sure to make life difficult given their impressive home form.
The Cottagers made it this far in the competition after dispatching of Cardiff City and Hull City in the third and fourth round respectively. And having already beaten Premier League opposition, they won't be fazed of the visit of Tottenham – especially given they have won their last four home games in all competitions.
As for the visitors, Tottenham Hotspur are favourites to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, beating Aston Villa and Wycombe Wanderers in the third and fourth round. Spurs haven't been in the best form on the road, however, going four without a win away from home – scoring just once in their last four overall too.
But with Mauricio Pochettino's side boasting a big squad of players, their strength in depth could be key to getting a much-needed win. Bet 365 are giving odds of 10/11 for Tottenham to win against Fulham.
Bet: Tottenham Hotspur to win against Fulham in this afternoon's FA Cup clash @ 10/11 with Bet 365 >>

Exam rooms are good places to write bad poems.
They are quiet,

Like staring into a crystal or a forest.
After the dog scratched (screeching) his (historians) ears all night (nightmarish), I should be up to the line of my words.
But the computer wants to write outstretched whenever I write out.
I guess I could turn this off, but it wants me to write counterrevolution, thirty-fourth, officially, buttermilk.
To mourn with restraint
in the days of hunger
when there is nothing to say:
I learn to mark those days respectfully
and spend them stripping lino from the stairs.
The unlikeable female character
must be unremorseful. Callous
(but lachrymose).
Dark-browed. Stops plucking
after she kills him.
There was a field of high reeds,
a time
when all distances and objects were poetic
a small town
smashed bottles
undescribed crushes.
Define the apocalypse.
If flood, these plains would be the first to go.
If fire, the barn would burn.
They tell you to be ruthless with your characters,
but they don't mention being ruthless with your home.
Now the feathers fall, because she is fighting above,
hurling her fists into eddies of broken drifts.
The sky looks white, unbreached, because she is up there,
huger than each horizon.

July 22, 2009 17:28 ET
EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - July 22, 2009) - The Honourable Tony Clement, Minister of Industry, along with the Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of Labour, and the Honourable Doug Horner, Alberta Minister of Advanced Education and Technology, today announced investments totalling $113.2 million in funding for infrastructure projects at post-secondary institutions in Alberta.
The funding announced today is part of the second round of investments under the Knowledge Infrastructure Program and includes $40.7 million from the federal government and $72.5 million from the provincial government and other sources. It builds on the more than $348 million announced for projects in Alberta under the first round of funding in May.
"The Government of Canada is investing in innovation and infrastructure to promote employment, help our economy recover quickly and improve the quality of life of Canadians," said Minister Clement. "These investments are creating jobs for people now, while providing the infrastructure these post-secondary institutions need for years to come."
"Our government recognizes that scientific and technological innovation is fundamental to our economic and social progress," said Minister Ambrose. "We must all work together to ensure that innovation becomes a true competitive advantage for Canada to get more ideas from the lab to the marketplace, to create new jobs and to build a stronger economy and a better future for all of us."
"This funding continues to support Campus Alberta and the high-priority science, research and maintenance projects in our post-secondary system," said Minister Horner. "Building Canada's knowledge-based economy requires strategic investments that enable future and current students to realize their futures at world-class institutions with world-class facilities."
As part of Canada's Economic Action Plan, the Government of Canada introduced the Knowledge Infrastructure Program, a two-year $2-billion economic stimulus measure to support infrastructure enhancement at Canadian post-secondary institutions. The Program is helping to provide economic stimulus and promote employment by creating jobs for engineers, architects, tradespeople and technicians. It is also helping to generate the advanced technological infrastructure needed to keep Canada's research and educational facilities at the forefront of scientific advancement.
One project at the University of Alberta is among those to receive funding today. The university will use the $22.5 million investment to renovate and renew the Chemical and Materials Engineering Building on the north campus.
Canada's Economic Action Plan sets out to stimulate the Canadian economy over the next two years and to improve our long-term competitiveness through $12 billion in new infrastructure investment, which includes the $2-billion Knowledge Infrastructure Program. This new support is the next substantive investment in the Government of Canada's multi-year Science and Technology Strategy, Mobilizing Science and Technology to Canada's Advantage.
For more information about the Knowledge Infrastructure Program, including program criteria, application instructions and a list of the approved projects to date, please visit the Knowledge Infrastructure Program website(http://www.ic.gc.ca/knowledge-infrastructure).
Further information is also available on the Canada's Economic Action Plan website(http://www.actionplan.gc.ca).
Knowledge Infrastructure Program
The Knowledge Infrastructure Program is a two-year $2 billion economic stimulus measure to support infrastructure enhancement at post-secondary institutions across Canada.
The Program provides funding to support deferred maintenance, repair and expansion projects at universities and colleges, and responds directly to the need indicated by post-secondary institutions to improve existing campus infrastructure across the country. A major portion of this infrastructure is near the end of its projected life cycle and, in many cases, does not adequately meet the needs of today's research and teaching activities.
The Program has two components. The university component gives preference to projects that can improve the quality of research and development at the institution. The college component supports projects at other post-secondary institutions, such as colleges, publicly funded polytechnic schools and institutes of technology, which will strengthen their ability to deliver advanced knowledge and skills training.
Projects are assessed according to their ability to quickly and effectively generate economic activity and support job creation. Project readiness and economic impact are, therefore, key criteria used in project selection. Projects are also assessed on their ability to enhance research capacity, support the attraction of new students and provide a better educational experience for the highly skilled workers of tomorrow.
The Program will not only generate economic benefits and support job creation, but will also have an important positive net impact on the environment by reducing energy use, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving waste management at universities and colleges across Canada.
Knowledge Infrastructure Program Investments in Alberta Post-Secondary Institutions
Through the second round of funding under the Knowledge Infrastructure Program, the federal government is investing $40.7 million in 19 projects at post-secondary institutions throughout Alberta. The Province of Alberta and others are providing an additional $72.5 million in funding for these projects, bringing the total value of projects supported by second-round funding to $113.2 million.
Nearly $162 million was provided for Alberta post-secondary institutions under the first round of the Knowledge Infrastructure Program, leveraging an additional $186.8 million from the province and other sources.
The following projects are among those that will receive funding under the second round of the Knowledge Infrastructure Program in Alberta. The list of projects is available at: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/IndTabs.pdf. For more information on a specific project, please contact the institution.

Florida Hospital employees travel to Tallahassee for health care expansion hearings
Posted: June 4, 2015
Dozens of Florida Hospital employees boarded a bus early Thursday to make their voices heard in the debate over health care expansion in Tallahassee.
The daylong bus trip came as state lawmakers are debating whether to expand coverage to Florida's 800,000 uninsured residents.
More than thirty employees from departments including nursing, finance and patient advocacy met with state Reps. Allan Williams, Rene Plasencia and Mia Jones to stress their support for health-care expansion.
The visit allowed employees to share their personal stories of caring for uninsured patients.
"Every day I see people come through the emergency room that are underinsured or uninsured. It breaks my heart," said Chantal Parzygnat, an Emergency Department social worker at Florida Hospital Altamonte. "So many times they are repeat patients because they can't receive specialty care in the community. We really need something to be in place on a much bigger level."
The Tallahassee trip comes a day after Florida Hospital President and CEO Lars Houmann spoke out about the benefits of expanding coverage to the state's 800,000 people without health insurance.
"This is the most compassionate, sustainable and fiscally prudent approach to addressing the needs of the state's uninsured population," Houmann said.
He added that without expansion, the costs of caring for the uninsured will continue to be a burden for all Floridians.
"Even if you have insurance you are affected," Houmann said. "Medical bills go up to cover the high cost of care for the uninsured, which translates into higher premiums, higher deductibles and higher co-pays."

Insights from members of the New Horizons Science Team
August 22, 2014My Family Planet
Leslie Young
New Horizons Deputy Project Scientist
As I write this, I'm sitting in the control room for the big Keck telescope in Hawaii, looking for methane in the atmosphere of our family planet, Pluto.
How did I get a "family planet?" It started in 1987, the summer after my senior year in college. I was looking for a job. My brother's boss at the time, Jim Elliot, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was looking for a programmer. Macintoshes and graphical interfaces were a fun new thing, and my brother, Eliot Young, talked me into trying to write a graphical optics bench. This turned out to be one of many times that my older brother talked me into some wild but fruitful scheme. As Eliot tells the story: Jim overheard us working, Eliot recommended me as the programmer, and I got an interview. So, I joined Eliot at MIT. For graduate school, Eliot mostly made maps of Pluto with Rick Binzel, and mostly worried about its atmosphere with Jim Elliot.
The late 1980s and early 1990s was an exciting time for a young astronomer to be studying Pluto, and Eliot and I both continued to study Pluto throughout our careers.
What is it like working with your brother? There are the obvious things, like our mother calling her dog "Pluto." We make travel plans together for meetings. We're probably punchier at the telescope than other observing partners. Then there are the more subtle things, like watching out for each other. We introduce each other around, spot interesting papers or opportunities for each other, and generally egg each other on. Most importantly, we are willing to talk about Pluto anytime, anywhere.
Leslie Young, from the Southwest Research Institute, is a New Horizons deputy project scientist and leads the mission's Pluto Encounter Planning effort. She's an expert in observational astronomy and surface-atmosphere interactions who has been studying Pluto her entire professional life.
