American "Ignorance is Bliss" Idol
There are always rumors that some of the contestants have secretly been groomed and planted among the contestants by Simon. Frankly, I don't care if Simon's been hiding contestants in his attic ala Anne Frank. If I'm being entertained, that's all that really matters, isn't it?

On mornings like this, I want whatever special Italian espresso Lina is having.
As for American Idol, I am completely on the same page with you. :) The Josiah kid is gone, which is probably good - I think he needs to get a psych exam asap. I haven't picked anyone to dislike or champion yet this season - the possibilities are endless! :)

Anonymous - I haven't seen it, yet. I'll queue it in NetFlix.
Old Horsetail - Well, yeah!
Solo Poesie - Good morning!! Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Jen - Yeah, I think Josiah and Kieth (the politician guy) would have been targets for the "Vote for the Worst" assholes, even though they were both talented guys. I really wanted Keith to make it. Maybe next year.
For this year, I'm all about the Australian guy. Yeah, I know it's AMERICAN Idol, but the Irish chick and the Australian guy are my favorites so far. Oh, and I like the nanny chick, too. And... and...and.... Yes, lots of possibilities.

Talent should rule. I used to watch American Idol but I can no longer stomach the catty Brit. Perhaps I could write some shareware for this problem: SimonSilencer 1.0?

I second the Simon Silencer. Although I thought it was pretty cool how he defended the Keith.
BTW, there are 3 David's in the competition. We rule!

Description of The Eliezer Williams, et al., vs. the State of California, et al. landmark case
The United States is an evolving country with a continuous trajectory movement towards improving the lives of its citizens. Whenever there are perceived inequities, legal and legislative measures are taken to correct and adjust the system. It is precisely due to this that there have been numerous landmark cases that have altered the educational landscape and improved it for the better. One of those pivotal landmark cases was Williams vs. the State of California. Circa, the 80's and 90's, the residents of San Francisco became concerned with deplorable inequities within the education system particularly for those in low-income communities and communities of color. The perceived inequities included unequal access to instructional materials and highly qualified teaching staff. The system as it stood then was dysfunctional and broken. This made student achievement had to attain and sustain. It was specifically for the above-mentioned reasons that a class action lawsuit was filed against the state of California by San Francisco families with Eliezer Williams as the main plaintiff. The case named the State of California and state education agencies, including the California Department of Education (CDE) as the defendants.
"The lawsuit was filed on the assertion that the public school students were been denied equal access to an instructional materials, safe and decent school materials and qualified teachers. The case was premised on two basic principles: 1) The State of California is responsible to ensure that all students have the basic resources they need to learn—qualified teachers, sufficient textbooks and instructional materials, and decent facilities; and 2) All students have a fundamental right to an education that must be provided to all students on equal terms. The case argued that California's public education system failed on both of these counts: it did not give all students the necessary educational resources and it allowed unequal opportunities to persist across schools" (Williams v. California, Public Advocates, 2009).
The goal of this landmark case was to propel the state to create an accountable system where students received a balanced and more uniformed access to the basic educational materials, no matter their geographical area. On August 13, 2004, the case was settled with the establishment of new accountability guidelines. These guidelines ensured that all California public school students will have access textbooks and instructional materials and that their schools are clean, safe, and functional with qualified teaching staff (Public Advocates, 2000; California Department of Education, n.d.; Decent Schools, n.d).
Relevance on Education System
The relevancy of this law on the California education system cannot be understated. Due to the passing of this law, students across the state are guaranteed an equitable access to materials at their respective school site. When one looks at what is happening in Detroit, Michigan with students not having to access to appropriate instructional materials or safe facilities, one could only wonder what would have happened in a state such as California, where there is a great variety of socio-economic status. In California, students and teachers are guaranteed, at a minimum equitable basic standards which in essence equalizes the educational landscape. The success of this law, in part, has been due to the strict adherence to the law that school districts are obligated to follow. On a yearly basis, newsletters are required to be sent to staff and parents to assure alignment to the law; schools also must conduct regular internal evaluations to ensure that all the pieces required in regards to this law are being followed. If and when anomalies are found, there are regulatory boards that one can report to and they address issues appropriately. Though not a seamless system, efforts are clearly made to assure cohesion.
Discussion on Equity and Adequacy
The Williams v. California case sought to provide specifically to students and teachers with an equitable educational environment. At a minimum, students deserve and should be guaranteed some level of equitable standards. Having access to sufficient textbooks, learning in schools that are in good repair and with qualified teaching staff should be the basic premise of operating effective schools. Granted it is true that depending on the financial resources and funding allocations for the various schools, that there will be some marked differences, but the fundamental needs should be preserved. With this law, the state can oversee that conditions are adequately met so that student achievement is nurtured no matter a student's location in the state. Under the Williams settlement, the lowest-performing schools in the state receive additional funds and oversight. This is critical because it was specifically because of this population that this case was brought forward. These schools are earmarked to receive approximately $800 million to pay for emergency repairs. In conclusion, the Williams v. California has improved the education system in California by making it more equitable. The education system is operating in good faith with the hopes of assuring that all students receive a fair and just access to the educational system.

Advertising: Study shows homes becoming more affordable
Source Data:
St. Louis Fed: Custom Chart
I live in the USA and I am concerned about the future. I created this blog to share my thoughts on the economy and anything else that might catch my attention.
Housing is paid out of disposable income.
Disposable income is take-home pay.
Take-home pay is going to be hit hard to cover the baby boom's medicare costs, and probably their $2.6T FICA surplus since the 1% who really owe that money don't see a need to pay it back.
One edge of the Republican bargaining position is 10c of tax rises for $1 in spending cuts.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for Federal spending cuts. I don't have kids and my mother can take care of herself, mostly.
But if they want to close the deficit by $500B, that's $450 billion of spending cuts, $2000 per capita.
Now, I don't know how that $2000 is distributed into the economy, but not all of it is flowing off to swiss bank accounts, some of it has to be salaries that support local economies all across this country.
So to that extent cutting spending is cutting redistribution, and that's the most generous Republican offer on the table.
Now (2), if Romney takes over I fully expect all this austerity jazz to go by the boards and they just let the money rip, making today's TNX off by an order of magnitude in its forecasting powers.
Dunno what happens with continued divided government. I kinda like my analogy that 2010 was "the flop" for Obama, 2012 is the turn, and 2014 will be the river, should he be still around to see it.
Romney will do all he can to see that people like me pay no taxes. I just don't get why the average middle class American would vote for that. And yet, my mom who pulls in a Social Security check each month (and has no savings) thinks he looks presidential. Sigh.
At today's interest rates this plan would mean a retired family with $5 million in savings would pay NO income tax.
I said that in 2007. At today's interest rates, that family could easily have $10 million or more in savings without having to pay any income tax. Behold the power of falling interest rates.
Behold the power of falling interest rates.
throwing in interest rates into that chart makes a different picture of affordability.
Buying right now could be the deal of the century, or a long ride on the deflation train.
As you quoted about Weimar, there's no guarantee that strong inflation hits housing this time.
The 1970s inflation was endogenous from wages.
That situation does not obtain today.
I've probably shared this before but...
When I was earning relatively good wages as a software engineer, I had the following rule.
In order to make a purchase, I had to think about it once for roughly every $50 it cost. It takes a lot of thinking to buy a car that way. It takes even more to buy a house.
I now think of purchases in terms of how many hours I would have to work to pay for them at minimum wage. The $50 has deflated. It takes much more thinking now.
I still haven't upgraded my computer. Still thinking I guess.
Lee Iacoca was noted for saying the only thing people look at when buying a new car is the monthly payment. I think it was he that mainstreamed leasing to boost car sales.
Maybe that will be the wave of the future... sign a 15 year lease for the TBTF's REO of your choice. It's almost the perfect duration to get 2.1 kids all through school and off to college and a second time downsizing to a condo in the city before one's date with the Medicare death panel comes up.
Great idea! I'm picturing the REO ad campaign.
That's the way you want it!
Mark, I think about a new computer when the motherboard of the previous one dies.
Who Struck John,
Nice. Mine's about 10 years old, lol.

Bill just posted a long article about World War III. His position (and Air America's) is that it's already begun with hostilities between the Israelis and the Hezbollah reaching an all time high. It's only a matter of time before the US gets involved with aid, then troop support, then combat.
Bill maps out the strategies of all the major powers over the next few months but he doesn't take into account what will happen here. Let's just look at our military. For the last four years, we've been at war. We've left a lot of troops in Afghanistan, looking for Bin Ladin. The way O.J.'s looking for the real killers. Nothing against their gumption, it's just that they don't have the resources to do the job completely.
Our resources are all divested in Iraq. Because Saddam looked at us cross eyed. Bush used Afghanistan to invade Iraq and never had any plan to occupy it. They actually believed invading forces would be welcomed by all the disparate factions in that country. Cause Bush didn't have a big black moustache.
We're four years in Iraq too. We've lost 2,000 soldiers. And we don't have the budget to keep the ones we got. Remember the stories about soldiers not having enough armor or ammunition? Or not being allowed to go home after their tour was up? That's still happening. The only reason my cosuin Sean got home in a year was because he signed up for an extremely dangerous detail.
Bush has also spent the last six years giving big business tax breaks and you $300. We went from the biggest surplus to the biggest deficit within his first term. Our economy ain't too great either so there's less taxable income to pull from the middle class. They haven't seen a raise in three years while expenses continue to rise. Expenses like all that precious oil.
Now comes a huge war. Several countries in the region have only one thing in common; they hate the US. Hell, everybody hates the US. Our president has an approval rating in the 30's for God's sake. When the temperature is in the 30's you cover all your exposed skin.
A lot of the forces in the Middle East have a vested interest in watching us fall. They know we're stretched too thin. And they know we're not going to pull out of any country any time soon. So if a few thousand more US troops are killed, all the better for them.
Rome fell because it was beseiged on all sides while a corrupt senate and a mad emperor held sway. Sound familiar? When Bush was reelected I predicted that the US would collapse in 2007. Silly me. I thought we'd collapse from within.

Strawberry Spinach Salad
You are going to see a few posts about strawberries, due to the fact that I got a HUGE thing at costco and have to think up ways to use them!
Baby spinach
sliced strawberries
rasberry vinagarette (or vinagarette of your choice)
Toss together.
I am way into simple food that looks pretty and doesn't call for a ton of ingredients and spices. Most of my meals consist of 5 ingredients or less. Once in a while I will make an actual recipe, but usually just throw together a meal of whatever I have on hand.

Despite the flu that kept my head holes cemented with mucus for over a week, I've made great progress on multiple projects over the last fortnight. I had been waiting for my producing partner to get me feedback on the Grandmother Clock treatment before I started the script. But I got tired of that, so I threw myself into it, and in so doing worked out several writer muscles that were achy with disuse. Now I'm thirty-some pages in, with a stronger Act One than I've had in, perhaps, ever. And while the project is tiring, as screenwriting always is, it was the invigorating tiring, the tiring that leaves you excited to begin again the next day; the kind of tiring where the narrative I'm striving to whittle out is like a crafty opponent I'm trying to outwit, an opponent who gives ground but never breaks. And sure, he may get the best of me after six or eight pages, but I'll be back tomorrow to kick him in the head with my character arcs. I have no idea how much sense that made.
So, to reiterate, it's energizing work, work that energized me to get a couple other things moving as well. I decided I was tired of doing research on Belly of the Beast; there are only so many books you can read about 19th century yankee whaling before you know all there is to know about cutting in and trying out, and can identify every kind of harpoon, and know what a flensing knife is and where a blubber hook goes.* So I launched myself into the pre-writing, a bit prematurely, I thought. But after only one day, I had beaten out the story; after the next, the crew had manned the ship and introduced themselves, had let me know their likes and dislikes; and today I broke the story completely. Now Belly is off to scene work and the note card jigsaw. I'll likely start scripting that one in April; with luck, I'll have it off to the WMA guy by May.
Somewhere in there I penned a mini-bible for the webseries spec pilot I'm writing for Epic Level, Earth Force 5. As you might guess from the title, it's a comedy. Which which was a nice palate cleanser, seeing as how I'd been spending all my time with terrified whalers and a grieving girl and her troupe of haunted friends. Epic Level will likely be doing a conference call this week to schedule a shoot. Which couldn't come too soon -- as I've said more than nine times, I'm going nuts not being on set.
Also, my partners on Sword & Sorcery had a meeting with the top producer in Seattle today. He really likes the project, and wants to see a script. Also, just got an email from a new AFI grad and his producing partner. They'd read the blurb on Red Shirts from my year's screenwriter pamphlet, and think it has huge potential.
So the writing has been good. And I aim to keep it so. In fact, I haven't written this much or this well since my first year at AFI, before they taught me that I was doing everything wrong. It's good to be wrong again.
* It goes into the blubber. That's why it's called a blubber hook.

With the 21st issue, the creators pay homage to the famous silent interlude issue of G.I. Joe, #21. But this time, the redhead doesn't need rescuing, she does the rescuing.
A completely silent issue is hard to pull off. It takes very good coordination between the writer and the artist. Bunn and Hurtt work great together and they pull off the silent issue.
One sequence really illustrates how well they do it. Becky is leaving a room and her reaction, body language, lets us know that she heard something disturbing. The whole issue is like that, well crafted and well paced.
And like the issue it pays homage to, G.I. Joe #21, there's even a game changing reveal. In G.I. Joe it was the shared tattoo revealed at the end. In The Sixth Gun, it's a large mural that Becky and Drake find.
This could have easily have had words and sound effects and still have been a good read, but the silence ends up making it a great read.
Bunn and Hurtt are creating a true epic with this series. Each issue seems to add a new layer to the overall mythos.
The Sixth Gun #21 receives

What Occurs After the Lasik Procedure?
After you are fully prepared, the Lasik procedure takes much less than fifteen minutes to complete for both eyes. This will certainly seem an extremely short time to have a long-term change to your vision, as well as hereof Lasik seems virtually too great to be real. In addition, most Lasik individuals notice enhanced vision quickly or within a few hours after the Lasik treatment has actually been carried out.
This does not suggest that you should expect to leave of the Lasik facility with perfect vision as well as without any have to treat your eyes carefully for the next a number of days. It likewise suggests that some Lasik patients will require even more time to see the total outcomes for the Lasik treatment, in some cases as high as six months for their vision to support completely. Prepare for good vision, and make the effort and also care for the operation to create its best outcome.
Typically the Lasik doctor will give the post-procedure individual a safety guard for their eyes. This need to be put on as long as the physician specifies, and usually only at night for one or two nights. If you experience sensitivity to light after the Lasik treatment is done, he could additionally advise sunglasses during the day. Discuss these options thoroughly at the Lasik center before the operation, so you understand the best ways to ideal care for your eyes.
Numerous clients at the Lasik centers typically obtain eye goes down to keep their eyes moist for a long time after the Lasik procedure is done. Again, this differs by person and also by medical professional, so inquire about your specific situation, especially if you are susceptible to eye dryness on an occasional basis even before the Lasik procedure.

Most customers could return to work and also typical daily activities the day after the Lasik treatment is done, and do not call for any additional assistance from other friends or family participants. Upon waking, improved vision from the Lasik improvements need to currently start to be noticeable.
This improved vision could not be the final product of the Lasik treatment. The improvement to nearsightedness after Lasik is generally quick and also remarkable, though there may be some problems in checking out easily for the initial few days after the Lasik procedure. This is flawlessly normal, as well as should clean up prior to the week is out.
Patients that utilize Lasik to boost their farsightedness typically discover a significant improvement the day after the Lasik surgical procedure. It might be that there is a momentary obscuring of objects in the click distance, yet this will fix itself. If this problem continues to be for greater than a few days, the Lasik doctor could advise and suggest short-lived glasses until vision is stabilized.
These are all regular post-operative recommends for a Lasik patient, in order to feel comfortable with what to expect after the Lasik procedure. As with any medical treatment, get all of your questions answered by the staff of your Lasik center for your specific case.
In addition, most Lasik clients observe enhanced vision promptly or within a couple of hours after the Lasik procedure has been performed.
It also means that some Lasik patients will certainly require more time to see the total results for the Lasik treatment, occasionally as much as 6 months for their vision to support permanently. Many patients at the Lasik facilities usually obtain eye drops to keep their eyes moist for some time after the Lasik procedure is done. People that make use of Lasik to enhance their farsightedness typically find a dramatic renovation the day after the Lasik surgical procedure.

|Thies and Cristina Enjoyed the Party
|Thies Poured Tequila Himself, Making Sure the Guests were Happy
|Jon, Diane, and Joe Shared Some Laughs
Music kept the party lively. A trio played jazz and latin music that had the guests dancing. Thies and Cristina's son, a professional singer, and granddaughter sang a few lovely duets. Their granddaughter also sang with her boyfriend, both from Washington, while he played the guitar. Both were very talented and obviously love music. I wished they would have played more Simon and Garfunkle songs for us!
A gift and greeting card were presented to the guests of honor, a combined congratulations from the group of RVers and bungalow residents. Cristina opened them and held up the painting, created by a local artist, for all to see. Everyone clapped to congratulate Cristina and Thies!
Several long-time RV residents came up to the mike to express their appreciation to Thies and Cristina for creating and maintaining this wonderful place, the Sayulita Trailer Park and Bungalows. From what I've been told, it was one of the first lodgings opened in Sayulita, about 30 years ago. Some of the winter residents in the RV park have been coming for over 15 years and it has become their second home. We have been spending time there in our motorhome during the winters since 2008 and plan to return there for many more years. The town, the people, and the Trailer Park have made Sayulita a second home to us as well. Thank you, Thies and Cristina! Happy 50th Anniversary!

I had some lunch and took a magazine and went out to watch the T-6's fly around the pattern a little. Hadn't been out long when one of the guys called to ask me to pick him up after his T-38 ride, so off I went. We stopped by the BK so he could pick up some lunch, and I asked if he wanted to go back and watch the pattern for a little while, so that's what we did.
I had a good time. I got to tell some of my old pilot training stories again that most of my friends have already heard, and I got to answer some questions he had about UPT. We watched the jets take off and land for about an hour or two before we came back. I felt much better about things. I am glad I got to come on this trip, after all, TSgt M.S. and Lt Col H. notwithstanding (I called one of my bosses at home to see if H. had decided to pass along what a wretched, sinful person I was; he hadn't. My boss reminded me that some people are just pricks. True enough). Like most of the T-38 IPs these guys have been flying with the last two days, I envy them.
Pilot training was hard, and I don't for a minute think it was all glorious fun, especially not in my case. But what I wouldn't give to go right back and do it all again--with the benefit of experience behind me, of course. I hope they all do well and get to fly what they want, but I know that's just not the case for everybody. You never know who's going to do well in UPT and who's not, but I think just getting to come up here and see a little bit of what it's like will help these guys out.
I came back in and checked my email just a few minutes ago. A little late, Stanford University wrote to tell me that my application was, at last, complete.
Since I haven't added anything to my application package since mid-December, I wonder what they were waiting for. Maybe they hoped I'd send in more... money? I don't know. Do I really care any more? I got in at Virginia; certainly Stanford's not likely to come through with any bigger scholarship offer than Virginia might (if Stanford even admits me). And yet now I feel like--even with Virginia--I'm being pulled inexorably forward toward law school, to JAG, and I don't feel like I ever really stopped and asked if that was what I wanted to do. I just got on the train; I never bothered to look at my ticket.
This is a tough thing to be thinking about as I sit up here in Valdosta, living in the past. What good times those were, and what bad times, too. And oh, the things I'd do differently if I only had the chance. I'm no dummy; I know I wasn't going to go fly fighters. But I could have flown something other than the tanker. Perhaps it wasn't meant to be; after all, the flying I like to do is really not the kind of thing you ever get to do in the mobility world.
Still... why did I get depressed? What was it really all about? Do I really know? Is there a way I could keep flying and keep whatever caused that depression at bay? I guess there isn't; I guess in reality there's no way to stay in the service at all and keep that depression at bay. After all, flying was the thing I liked, and it wasn't enough to keep everything else from crowding in: the strange provincialism, the absurd performance rating system, the two-faced attitude towards trust and responsibility, the rules for every little thing that prevent you from really solving a problem, the book that tells you where to go and who to talk to and when to be there and how to cut your hair and what to think about all these things as you do them. It's not a lifestyle I could ever adapt to. And yet I'll miss it so much. Why?
I saw the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind about two years ago, I guess, and while I liked it I didn't really get it. I'd never had a relationship like that, one that I might actually want to scrub from my mind entirely, and I couldn't imagine ever having one. But that's the relationship I have with the Air Force now. I know I can't ever really be happy here. But I'll miss it so much when it's gone, how on Earth am I going to cope? I don't even understand why I'm going to miss it, but in a sense I already do. If I could wipe all memory of my service from my mind... I'd lose so many great memories, so much of who I am and so much of what I love; and yet I'd be free, free to go on and live the rest of my life, and never have to think back and wonder what might have been, why it didn't work out, whether it ever could have.
What a mess I've made. All I want to do is enjoy myself and give something back to others at the same time. It seems a simple enough impulse, and look what I've managed to do with it. I should be happy. Things are actually going well, in most senses. Lord knows I live a better life than a lot of people; I just can't let myself sit back and enjoy it.

A day in the life
Remember how hectic it was, how crazy our days were when we were trying to just get out of the house to work (my husband and I), our sitter would come to our house and we were the only ones that had to look presentable (sort of) in the morning.
We'll I really want to do another post just like that one, but include in it all the things we have to do now! Both my kids are in school, so we have homework to sign, papers to send back, cheques to write, lunches to make, they both have to look presentable (sort of), both Husband and I have to look presentable (sort of). Oh yeah and did I mention I'm 27 weeks pregnant, and still dealing with morning/all day sickness!
Yes you read that right! We are expecting again! We're adding a third bundle of joy to our crazy family. And as Everett likes to remind me all the time that means we have 5 people and two dogs in our family. That's 7 total!!
So, I'm not complaining, I love our crazy hectic life. I wouldn't want it any other way. I love that we are busy in the morning, we are busy during the day (the kids are both in school full time), I work full time, hubby's working and then most evenings we are busy too! Hannah's dancing is taking up a lot of time, and Everett's playing soccer!
I wonder by this baby comes in March how much of our life will still be crazy hectic and a whirlwind for anyone looking from the outside in, or if it'll slow down a few paces? I'm excited to find out.

Hidemi's Rambling No.79 Jan 2, 2010
Unlike Christmas cards, Japanese New Year cards arrive all at once on New Year's Day morning. I used to live with my grandfather and it was his biggest delight to take all cards for the whole family from our mail drop and sort them by family member's name. He kept a log of the number of cards that each of us received every year. To him, the number reflected power in our family. The one who received most cards had the biggest power. That was him every year because he represented our family. Distributing the sorted cards, he would announce proudly the standings of the year. My personal record was 63 cards when I was sixteen, and I got the second place to my grandfather, ahead of my father that year. Time has passed, I left home, my grandfather passed away, and the stupid competition ended. By the way, this year the number of New Year's cards for me was zero...

|One of many of Pius's Jewish defenders quoted in the book is "Israeli historian and diplomat Pinchas Lapide, who had been the Israeli consul in Milan and had spoken with many Italian Jewish Holocaust survivors" (pp. 10-11). According to Lapide's extensive historical analysis, Pius XII "was instrumental in saving at least 700,000, but probably as many as 860,000 Jews from certain death at Nazi hands" (p. 11). Whatever the exact number, Rabbi Dalin's sources all point to the fact that Pius XII's efforts saved hundreds of thousands of Jews, most notably in Italy, Hungary, and Slovakia (see pp. 92-99). Most dramatically, the papal summer residence at Castel Gandolfo sheltered as many as 3,000 Jews (pp. 92-93).
"The chalice of benediction which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord? For we, being many, are one bread, one body: all that partake of one bread." (1 Cor 10:16-17)

The Truth About Pope Pius XII
Oswald Sobrino has a revealing post about The Myth of Hitler's Pope (Regnery, 2005), written by Rabbi David G. Dalin, professor at Ave Maria University. There's been so much said in the media in the last few years about Pope Pius XII allegedly having stood aside and cooperated with the Nazi destruction of millions of Jews across Europe. It is revealing that the staunchest defense of Pope Pius XII have come from Jewish historians themselves. Consider, for example:
The thinker who prefers to receive balanced input should read this, if only because too many in the mainstream media have been particularly shrill and loud about Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust. Perhaps they were screaming in order to drown out opposing views?

Itamar medical
Today we went to Itamar medical which Is a medical company which develops, markets and sells diagnostic medical devices based on Peripheral Arterial Tone.
Their two main products are Endopat which watches the endothelial dysfunction (how the heart beats) and Watchpat which watches the behavior of the sleep pattern of a patient.
The applications are for medical studies And follow ups. The results are much cheaper than blood tests and more consumer friendly.
I found this concept very interesting and hope it gets adopted widely, even more than it is now throughout the USA.
We went to Haifa for Lunch where it was pooring down rain. We were supposed to visit the Baha'i Shrines and gardens located on the edge of the city center. Unfortunately the rain prevented is from visiting the gardens but we saw them from above.
Then we visited Iscar "where innovation never stops".
It is the world leader full line supplier of precision carbide metal working tools.
The global business of this industry is 13 billion dollars. They are market leader. Their main focus is research and development to be always ahead of the competition. They have to teams assigned for each product one that fights for it and another one against it.
Their products go through a series of tests assuring the best quality possible.
The challenge is to improve a basic metal tool in order to increase productivity. The objectives defined by the market drive innovation.
What impressed me was the location of the company on a hill overlooking a big part of the neon outing region. I believe that on a clear day we could see the libanese border since we were only 10 km south of it.
The production line is totally automated and everything is very clean.

I left my dogs there at 7:30. She put them in the yard with the gate open and they were running down Kingshighway by 9:30. Fortunately a good Samaritan picked them up and brought them to my neighbors. I will never use Rover again
Connie was a fantastic sitter! She kept my 11-year-old Westie for two days/nights, while I visited the St. Louis area. She has a huge fenced backyard with big shady trees, to which the dogs have open access. Connie is a trainer, as well, and her love and knowledge of dogs is apparent. She sent me pictures of Crosby during his visit, as well as texts updating the great time he was having! I felt ...
WE do not leave our dogs very often but have found Connie to be the absolute BEST person to leave them with when we have to !
In the past we had used a kennel and a vet that boarded dogs , then in 2011 we found Connie and
She kept Sammy and Ginger for us while we went to Florida. We were so happy to have them staying in a home where they could get excersize ...
About Connie
Dogs Love Staying At The WoofHouse!
Dog sitting in my home is perfect for me because I have the joy of canine companionship while providing a useful service. Each doggie guest is selected based on temperament and the ability to fit in with our other guests. We take a maximum of two boarders at a time, so each guest receives lots of individual attention.
My experience:
* Established Woof Dog Services: 2004.
* Began to sit for only two dogs at a time ...
What Connie would like to know about your dog
Temperament is the most important quality in any dog who stays with us. Proof of being medically up-to-date also is a requirement for WoofWoof guests. Otherwise, I love learning about the many different types of breeds: large, small, active or not, smart or not, young or old . . . We especially love puppies!

text: During today's meditation I became increasingly aware of my breath entering and leaving my body. I could feel the air flowing in through my nose and into my mouth and down my wind pipe into my lungs. When I exhaled I had an image of warm air condensing on my throat as the air passed through. It was a unique feeling. Something I feel means I'm getting better at meditating.

On the Road Again III
In about four and a half hours, I head to the airport to fly to Richmond, Virginia, the first city in the CoF Roadshow. For the next six weeks, I'll be driving a VW Passat W8 wagon from Virginia to Vermont, visiting Fast Company readers, interviewing local business leaders, and meeting with local groups of the Company of Friends, Fast Company's readers' network. Along the way, I'll be writing almost-daily diary entries about where I am, who I meet, and what I learn.
While I hope to update Media Diet while traveling, the Roadshow diaries and reportage will take precedence. That doesn't mean that Media Diet is dead (long live Media Diet!). It just means that it's resting. I'll try to pop in every so often, but chances are good that Media Diet won't be on a regular schedule again until November.
If you'd like to recommend bookstores, comic shops, record stores, restaurants, or people I should meet along the way, I'd welcome your suggestions. Check my itinerary and let me know what you know about the cities along the way.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 480541
nv driver fails to start X on GeForce 7025/7050/7150
Last modified: 2018-04-11 04:15:10 EDT
Description of problem:
x fails to start on a system with Geforce 7025 integrated chipset. Nouveau works fine.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Everytime you try to use the nv driver.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot live CD or change driver setting on installed system.
Actual results:
x fails.
Expected results:
x to start as normal.
Additional info:
Nouveau works fine. Looking at the log, it says that the device is unsupported by the driver, so maybe Fedora should default to Nouveau for this chipset?
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.
Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below.
And could we get the same set when using nouveau driver as well, please?
We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.
Thanks in advance.
Created attachment 329441 [details]
xorg.conf with nouveau driver
Created attachment 329442 [details]
xorg.log with nouveau driver
Created attachment 329443 [details]
xorg.log with nv driver
Attached requested files. I presume no xorg.conf for nv driver as it occurred after first installation, which no longer uses that file? I could generate one using the system-config-display utility if that would be useful.
I'd be interested to know if nv simply works on this chipset by adding a case for 0x0530 to the list in nv_driver.c function NVIsSupported().
As far as I'm aware we didn't need to change anything in nouveau (aside from some chipset-specific code that is irrelevant to nv) to support this series of chips, so it could simple be a case of missing pciids for this series.
Are you able to test a new RPM for me? This contains a patch to nv which tells it about all the cards of your series, hopefully this'll be all that's required to get nv running on these chips.
The RPM is here:
Thanks :)
Could you give me some advice on how to install the RPM? When I try, it conflicts with the currently installed package, and if I try to remove it fails because xorg-x11-drivers depends on it.
Simple question, I'm sure, but will be more than happy to help when I know how :)
Thanks for your work so far,
It should install with "rpm -ivh --force <rpm filename>".
Tried the new RPM, it didn't work :(
When I changed the driver setting and reset X, it failed to come back at all - couldn't even switch virtual terminals and there was no blinking cursor. Had to do a hard reboot to get anything back, and then boot to run level 3 (apparently xdriver= on the grub boot doesn't work any more?)
I've attached the xorg.log from the failed attempt.
Created attachment 329787 [details]
Patched RPM xorg.log
Ok, i know where that problem is and have came up with a fix. Unfortunately i won't have a real net connection until i get back to brisbane on monday, so won't be able to build you a new rpm until then. Thanks for testing :)
New RPM is available here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/bskeggs/task_1082067/xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.1.12-6.fc10.i386.rpm
Just tested the latest RPM and although it didn't leave me with just a blank screen, my monitor displayed a sign saying "out of range" and the virtual terminals were extremely garbled with white marks all over - couldn't actually make out the text but they were functional. Had to reboot into run level 3 again and this time edit xorg.conf by hand because system-config-display wouldn't work (it tried to start with nv I think).
Attaching the log again.
Hope it helps,
Created attachment 329980 [details]
Second new RPM xorg.log
You definitely installed the new RPM? The crash is identical to the previous one. It's possible the crash was in a different place to where I suspected however. If you're sure you used the new RPM I'll come up with a patch to provide more info as to where the crash is happening. Thanks again!
Well, I just re-installed, and provided the link is correct I'm certain I installed the new RPM. Got the same results as before. The crash actually performs a little differently to the old one from a user perspective. I suppose it's possible I attached the wrong xorg.log... I just grabbed Xorg.1.log the next time I booted up with a running X - looked to me like Xorg.0.log was the log for the most recent successful attempt.
(In reply to comment #19)
> next time I booted up with a running X - looked to me like Xorg.0.log was the
> log for the most recent successful attempt.
Check their timestamps with ls -l /var/log/Xorg.*.log, but you don't do anything bad when you attach all of them.

The Power of Inclusive Innovators
By Devin Wardell Cook
Renowned anthropologist, Margaret Mead, famously said: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world."
The core belief of the MIT Inclusive Innovation Challenge is that groups large and small must harness technology to create more jobs and improve the future of work. More importantly, the MIT IIC aims to accelerate this reality. That's why they are offering $1 million in prizes to promote and celebrate technology-based solutions that drive greater economic prosperity worldwide. The 2017 MIT IIC finalists prove that correcting labor shortages, skills gaps, and a lack of diversity in the science and technology fields, is not only possible, it's already happening.
For the past six months, the MIT IIC panel has judged Inclusive Innovation organizations from across the globe. In just two short weeks, they are bringing their 16 top-scoring finalists to HUBweek. On October 12, the IIC will celebrate these change-makers and announce four grand prize winners at a Gala Celebration during HUBweek, at The HUBpresented by Liberty Mutual Insurance.
During the celebration, the 16 finalists will be acknowledged publicly by luminaries such as Eric Schmidt, Executive Chariman of Alphabet Inc; Leila Janah, Founder & CEO of Sama Group and LXMI; and Mignon Clyburn, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner, among others.
New Paths Forward
MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy (IDE) co-founders Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee defined the era we live in as the Second Machine Age. In their best-selling book, they point out that even while digital technology is creating unprecedented wealth it remains concentrated among relatively few people. The authors propose that the way forward is not to preserve the jobs of the past, but to create new paths for more people to share in digital prosperity.
This call to action was the genesis of the IIC, and the Finalists are paving the way by demonstrating sophisticated solutions to complex problems.
In the award category of Technology Access, for instance, one of the finalists, the Digital Citizen Fund has built 11 internet training centers and two media centers for women and girls in Afghanistan to gain basic digital literacy (see photo above). The organization says that only 5 percent of Afghanistan's population has access to the internet — and few of those are women or children. (Read more about all of the finalists and categories here.)
Similarly, although online education is growing, less than one percent of the populations of Africa and India have the broadband to access it — cost and speed are the biggest barriers to adoption. Another finalist, Dot Learn, also in the category of Technology Access, is making strides to change that imbalance. Using an MIT-developed technology that compresses video, the company is making online education in Africa as inexpensive as text messaging.
How to Eliminate Barriers
Boston-based AdmitHub, another MIT IIC Finalist in the Technology Access category, wants to eliminate at least one set of barriers: it has created a virtual assistant, powered by artificial intelligence, that can help students navigate the financial, academic, and social situations that accompany the college admission and attendance process.
Other IIC finalists, such as AID:Tech, Tala, Nomanini, and EFL, seek to broaden the scope of Financial Inclusion for businesses and individuals. Tala, for instance, has developed an Android application that builds financial identities and delivers instant credit to populations in Kenya, Tanzania, and the Philippines. The whole process, from application to loan disbursement, takes less than five minutes. AID:Tech's model, meanwhile, employs blockchain technologies.
IIC entrepreneurs are also directly targeting the problems of Income Growth and Job Creation (Hogaru, Logistimo, Skillsmart, and Tuteria) and finding better ways to match skilled workers with good jobs (iHub, LaunchCode, Leap Skills Academy, and New Day) in the quest to bridge the digital divide.
Be sure to join us on October 12th at The HUB presented by Liberty Mutual Insurance for the MIT IIC Celebration Gala during HUBweek to meet innovators who are defying the odds to change the world. Registration is free, but required and open now.
Devin Wardell Cook is the Executive Producer of the Inclusive Innovation Challenge.

The Isle of Man's director of education says there no plans at present to follow proposals in England and Wales to introduce formal tests for five and 11-year-olds.
Martin Barrow said the proposals to rate the ability of individual children went against latest research which found that it could restrict performance.
UK Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg (pictured) has already been forced to deny the Coalition proposals will turn schools into 'exam sausage factories'.
It follows the announcement yesterday (Wednesday) of plans for testing of five-year-olds and 11-year-olds in England and Wales.
Those plans have already met criticism from some educationalists.
Isle of Man director of education Mr Barrow said developments would be monitored but there were no plans to replace the 'well-established' and effective systems in place to assess the levels of primary school pupils.
He told Paul Speller Media: 'As with many other matters related to education policy in England, there is considerable uncertainty about how pupil performance at primary schools will be measured in future.
'The proposals to rank pupils by ability which have been published for consultation this week appear to contradict the latest research by leading experts, such as Professor Carol Dweck from Stanford University in California, which clearly indicates that telling children they have a certain level of ability acts as a cap to their performance rather than a stimulus to improve.
'In the Island we have a highly structured and effective system of teacher assessment in place in our primary schools which is very different to the testing regime in England and this means that children are continually assessed and challenged to improve their learning both by their teachers and by themselves.'
He added: 'We believe that directly linking continuous assessment to learning in this way makes the assessment information far more useful to both teacher and pupil and ensures that assessment information provided to parents is more robust than that arrived at through tests.
'Parents receive feedback on how their children are performing at key points in the learning journey and are also supplied with information about overall pupil performance on the Island to enable them to see how their child's attainment compares to overall results..'
It wouldn't be the first time the Department of Education and Children in the Isle of Man awaited the outcome of developments in England and Wales before making a final decision.
While Mr Barrow did not rule out entirely adopting the tests in the future, he gave a clear indication that the current thinking here is not in favour.
He said: 'As with all developments in education in England the DEC will monitor what is proposed to see whether or not there are lessons for the Island to learn but at this point there are no plans to move away from the well established systems that are in place for primary children.'
The proposed tests for five-year-olds in England would be a more formal version of tests already set informally by some teachers.
The new tests would be subject to external supervision: outside examiners would assess papers but would not sit in on the tests.
Mr Clegg said the tests for 11-year-olds were designed to ensure more children were better prepared for secondary school.
It is proposed to rank pupils against their peers, in 10 per cent ability bands.

Major Hangups over the iPod Phone
The iPod Mobile Phone got a lot of buzz earlier this year, but the fact that a number of wireless operators, including Verizon Wireless and Cingular Wireless, have shown reluctance in supporting the Motorola/Apple joint effort. What's behind the beef? Money, of course. Motorola and Apple want their customers to place any digital song file they already own on their phones for free. However, the wireless operators want customers to pay to put music on phones at prices ranging from 99 cents to $3. At this point, the wireless operators look to have the upper hand in this battle.

Below is something I wrote as a weekly devotional around Mother's Day and it is what prompted my brother to suggest that I should start writing a blog.
It was May of 2001. I couldn't decide what to get Mom that year. I'd been browsing the store for about an hour when I looked up and saw the sign: "Make this a Mother's Day she'll always remember."
"That'd be a trick," I thought.
I don't recall what the sign was trying to sell me, but it didn't matter. Mom had Alzheimer's and I could have given her a tiara atop a ham sandwich and she wouldn't remember it the next day—maybe not even later that same day—never mind forever. I walked out of the store empty-handed.
On the way back to Mom's house, I turned on the radio to listen to Jack Buck tell me how my Cardinals were faring that day. As I listened, I reminisced about being in the car with Mom some 16 years earlier when during Game 5 of the 1985 National League Championship Series, Ozzie Smith homered to win it in the 9th inning and Jack instructed us to "Go crazy, folks!" We did. Baseball was one thing my mother and I had in common.
That's when it occurred to me: I may not be able to give Mom a day she'd always remember, but I could give her a day she would enjoy. I could give her a moment. She and I had never been to a Cardinals game together.
On Mother's Day I loaded up Mom and Dane and we made the two-hour trek to Busch Stadium. Mom must have asked at least 15 times on the way there, "Now, where are we going?" And at least 14 times on the way there, I questioned my own sanity for coming up with this idea.
It turned out to be a little logistically challenging to maneuver Dane through all the secret wheelchair passageways as the guard escorted us and all the while trying to keep Mom from wandering away. But, we eventually made our way to our seats.
I don't remember all the details of the game. I remember that the Cardinals won. I remember that each time J.D. Drew came to the plate and the fans yelled, "Drrreeeeeeeewwwww," Mom would ask, "Why are they booing that poor boy?" I remember Mom singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" along with the crowd. I remember her smiling. I remember thinking, "this is a Mother's Day I'll always remember."
A few months later, we went back to Busch Stadium for Mom's birthday. Many times on the way there, Mom asked, "Now, where are we going?" Each time I replied as though it was the first time she asked, "We're going to a Cardinals game, Mom." To which she usually responded with a simple, "oh." Except once when she asked, "Didn't we do this not too long ago?"
So, while Mother's Day 2001 wasn't "a day she'd always remember," some little piece of it stayed in her memory far longer than I thought it would.
Thank you, God, for life's moments—moments shared with family, friends, or strangers and moments experienced in solitude. Help open our eyes to these moments as they occur so we might appreciate their simplicity and joy amidst the chaos of a complicated world. Amen.

Using Power Point Slides
A few years ago I was talking with some of my favorite students about education. I asked them what they liked least. I was surprised that they all expressed the same objection which was verbalized by one as "I hate it when a teacher comes into the room and throws up some Power Point slides and then proceeds to read them to us. I can read for myself." Is Power Point the equivalent of my teacher reading his ancient notes to us? Yeah, maybe it is.
I have never used Power Point in a college class but I can understand why it is popular with teachers. First, it provides an easy way to organize the material in a logical fashion. Second, once they are made, they can be kept from year to year and save time in the future (hmm, now we are backed to the yellowed notes). Third, many textbook publishers will prepare them for you so the amount of work is slight. Fourth, at many schools, Power Point slides can be made available to the students to serve as study guides.
So, Power Point does have some benefits but what do your students think? I have a couple of suggestions.
--If your student evaluations allow you to do this, add the following question: "Does the teacher use Power Point slides too much, too little, or just the right amount?" Power Point slides can be a lot like bad breath—everyone might know you have a problem before you do. Although I am a heavy critic of student evaluations, I think that kind of question can be very helpful and should be more used on student evaluations.
--If your textbook publisher has Power Point slides available, send those to the students for study purposes. For class, make your own slides. It is your course—for goodness sakes—so design it the way you want. If nothing else, it forces you to think about the material more.
--Never put more than 10 words on a slide. That will break you of the habit of reading them to the students. When I give teaching presentations, I do use Power Point slides but I use them as a prompt for discussion. For example, we discussed inventory today in my Financial Accounting class here at the University of Richmond. If I had used Power Point slides, here are a few that I would have prepared because each of these would have prompted (I believe) some excellent class discussion.
Slide One: Who would possibly use a periodic system in 2010?
Slide Two: Inflation takes place: compare FIFO with LIFO
Slide Three: If you look poorer, why use LIFO?
Slide Four: LIFO conformity – what does it really mean?
Slide Five: You start a business: Would you choose FIFO or LIFO?
Slide Six: IFRS and LIFO - what is going on?
Well, you get the idea. I've accomplished what I wanted. I have organized the class in some logical manner and I can either explain the meaning of what I have written or I can ask the students about the meaning. Reading is not a real option. And, these slides don't take long to prepare and I can use them again.
But, if you do choose to use your slides again next semester, I would urge you to always edit and freshen them up. Don't simply rely on the same slides each semester from now until 2030. Each semester rethink what you want to cover and how you want to do it and change your slides accordingly.
Used correctly, I think Power Point can be great. However, used poorly, I think we are back to 1969 with my political science teacher reading notes to me that he hadn't revised since the end of World War II. That's what my students were fussing about.

I never use Powerpoint for a couple of reasons. First of all, if you have Powerpoint slides, the students feel like they can miss class. Why do they have to come if they can get get copies of the slides? Secondly, you have the opposite problem if you *don't* make the slides available to students: if there is too much information on the slides, then the students spend the whole time copying the slides instead of listening to the lecture.ReplyDelete
I like your idea of 10 word slides, but if they're really that short, why not just write those few words up on the board yourself?
I'm old-fashioned: I write everything on the board. If I'm writing it myself, then I know that it takes roughly the same amount of time for the students to copy, so they shouldn't have too much writing when I'm just lecturing. Also, the students see me *involved* in the lecture, and they know that I'm putting in the effort (instead of just droning on with some pre-made slides) and then they are much more likely to put in effort themselves.
However, I think the real thing here that you are commenting on is notes that never get updated. This is something to be avoided, no matter what course you teach. In accounting, we need to always update our notes for the latest changes to GAAP, the latest updates on IFRS convergence (and differences between current US GAAP and IFRS) and also to update our examples. It's sad to say, but in 2010 when I talk about Enron, students don't always know to what I am referring.
Of course, this is outside of teaching updating: sometimes I will just 'stumble across' better ways to present information, or cross-knowledge instructional ideas among accounting topics. That always deserves an update to my notes. Yes, I've been using some of the same examples for about 10 years, but I'd say that at least half of my notes have changed in the past decade.
One of the things that I find odd is that after 39 years of doing this, I still write out my notes long hand every night before class. When I started teaching, I would have bet that I would not be doing it this way. However, if I don't, I am just not able to ad lib a logical class. And, of course, it keeps things fresh.ReplyDelete
As to the reason for 10 word PP slides, it provides an organizational structure that can really be helpful. I don't use them because I write out my notes but if I ever stop writing the notes, I'll switch to the 10 word slides to provide a structure that can otherwise get lost in the hustle and bustle of class. Joe
It always saddens me when I hear people speak negatively about Power Point because it tells me they just haven't learned how to use it properly. I will agree that linear, text-based presentations can be sleep inducing but that isn't what was intended when Microsoft called it POWER Point. All you have to do to put the POWER in Power Point is make your presentations non-linear and interactive with action buttons, include audio and video clips, use PPt's internal or Flash animation, create interactive Excel charts, and/or create hyperlinks to other instructional files or Internet sites.ReplyDelete
Good point. When it comes to teaching, every hand is potentially a winner and every hand is potentially a loser. I have several questions that I like to ask about teaching styles: (1) does it work for you and your students, (2) are you sure that you have reasonably good feedback from your students to know that this works, and (3) do you have a way to keep the presentation and materials fresh semester after semester. As far as I'm concerned, you can beat the students with chains if you can answer "YES" to all three of these questions. The problem I have with lectures and with Power Point is that, for many teachers, the answers to some/all of these questions is "No."ReplyDelete
However, you make an excellent point as to how Power Point can be turned into a winner. One thing you might do is date the slides when you create or change them so you are aware of whether they might be getting a bit old.
