Images of an expertly sculpted nose on a Chinese man's forehead may be shocking to many, but plastic surgeons say the use of forehead tissue for nasal reconstructive surgery dates back thousands of years.
The practice of using flaps of tissue from both the forehead and cheek to reconstruct a severed nose was begun in ancient India, where facial disfigurement served as a form of punishment, according to Dr. Robert X. Murphy, president elect of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
"They were very far advanced in using the forehead skin to refashion a semblance of a nose," Murphy said.

Demetri Martin mastering the art of low-tech social-network adsPosted on Tue Feb 10 2009
It's not often that I write a fan letter, so you know I'm being sincere when I drop Demetri Martin a mushy note on MySpace to compliment him on his awesome moptop hairdo and stoner-comedy show, Important Things With Demetri Martin, which debuts on Comedy Central on Wednesday. The Viacom network has been plugging the program regularly for a month or so on air, and Demetri even got a little (hair and) face time during Sunday's Grammy Awards telecast on CBS. But on Monday evening, a MySpace bulletin from the Gen Y comic with the subject line "these = printable flyers for new comedy central show" was posted as a personal note to me (and Martin's other 145,473 site friends) in his own special, no-frills, Post-It-note style: "hi. i made these flyers for my show," the note began. "if you have time/interest, feel free to print one and tape it up somewhere. the show premieres on wednesday on comedy central at 10:30pm/9:30pm central. thanks. i hope you are doing well. demetri."
The missive was followed by a quartet of hand-scribbled anti-ads with captivating headlines like "This is a flyer," "IGNORE THIS extremely new and good tv show" and "HOLY SHIT!" Golden lightning bolts were added for urgency and emphasis. God only knows what this kid has planned for Facebook.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star David Emanuel has opened up about his experience designing Princess Diana's wedding dress.
He told his campmates that he got the big break in the industry when he was in business with his ex-wife running a small fashion company.
Talking about the famous dress, he said: "We knew we needed bolts of taffeta and English silk. Luckily a company said we have a silk farm. I said overfeed them, I need as much silk as I can get.
"Then we had to get the silkworms to the weavers, the weavers to the dyers. To keep the press off the scent we did a bolt of cloth in white and a bolt in ivory."
He described Diana as "very natural" and "the sweetest girl in the entire world".
"Diana was very natural, we'd be sitting on the carpet, I think we'd researched the longest royal train was 20ft," he explained. "I said 20ft is boring, let's make it 25. She said alright and blushed.
"That's how the 25t train came. Also the scale of St Pauls, it is huge. She had to look young and beautiful which she is, but it was a state affair, the wedding of all weddings watched by 800 million people around the world."
He added: "Diana was the sweetest girl in the entire world and because of her a dream came true."
I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! continues tomorrow night (December 1) at 9pm on ITV.

England hopefuls Jonny Bairstow and Adam Lyth ensured Yorkshire just edged day one of Hampshire's Championship clash at Headingley.
Bairstow hit a glorious 102, Lyth compiled a useful 53 and Jack Leaning (77 not out) will still be there on day two as Yorkshire bid to extend their 333 for seven.
But André Adams (three for 57), James Tomlinson (two for 61) and Gareth Berg (two for 49) also played their part for James Vince, who took the captaincy reins from the absent Jimmy Adams.
Fidel Edwards failed to take a wicket on his Hampshire bow (nought for 77), but young wicketkeeper, Lewis McManus, took two catches on his debut.
In the morning session, Andrew Gale's batsmen made reasonable use of the opportunity to bat first and reached 83 for two at lunch but Hampshire's bowlers stuck to their task.
Alex Lees shouldered arms to a ball from Tomlinson and was out lbw.
Cheteshwar Pujara (18) was both nearly run out and dropped at second slip by Vince off Adams, before eventually departing to Tomlinson again.
The match was transformed by Bairstow's batting in the afternoon and reached his half-century off 46 balls with six fours and two sixes.
His century stand with Leaning occupied only 94 balls and Yorkshire were 243 for four at tea.
Bairstow and Leaning extended their fifth-wicket stand to 155 before Bairstow edged a defensive push to a ball from Adams and McManus completed the dismissal.
But Leaning and Tim Bresnan (23 not out) will resume the Yorkshire innings on day two as they attempt to reach the 400-mark.

So report scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and their colleagues, in two papers in Nature: one in the October 10 issue, and one that appeared August 29. Both describe results collected on two 1995 research cruises < one near the Galapagos Islands, the other in the subarctic Pacific. The studies' results add to what is known about an important cornerstone of the global ecosystem.
On the Galapagos cruise, described in the Oct. 10 article, a BNL-designed instrument helped prove that underachieving phytoplankton could be revved up to consume more carbon dioxide if they got an iron supplement.
The August article discussed a BNL-developed molecular detection method that showed that subarctic phytoplankton are underproductive because they're stressed for iron.
Both studies answer longstanding questions about phytoplankton. But the scientists adamantly state that fertilizing the ocean with iron would not be a "quick fix" for the potentially climate-changing effects of humankind's carbon dioxide production.
"Too many factors would erase any increase in carbon dioxide absorption, not to mention the risks of such a huge environmental manipulation," said BNL oceanographer Michael Behrenfeld.
Phytoplankton are tiny single-celled plants, trillions of which have floated freely on the ocean's surface for nearly 3.5 billion years. Together, they process about 40 percent, or 43 billion tons, of the world's carbon annually, much of it atmospheric carbon dioxide.
When phytoplankton do not get all their necessary nutrients, say the scientists, they cannot absorb as much carbon dioxide as usual. The two cruises studied areas of ocean where phytoplankton productivity is "limited" by lack of iron, so that they cannot take full advantage of abundant nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous.
Underwater Overachievers
In the Galapagos study, scientists fertilized an underproductive patch of the South Pacific with iron three times over eight days, while taking measurements to see how phytoplankton activity in the 25-square-mile area changed.
The result was dramatic: Within 32 hours of the first application, an area 6 miles wide and 81 feet deep turned green with phytoplankton. The effect lasted two weeks.
Said Behrenfeld, "Our boat towed BNL's submersible instrument, which repeatedly dove down to 200 feet and returned to the surface, taking readings all the while. We could see immediately how the phytoplankton responded to the iron < their photosynthetic efficiency increased tremendously in the first 48 hours." A second instrument inside the boat showed that the phytoplankton began making much larger "antennae" to capture sunlight, in order to take advantage of the iron-rich diet.
The team calls the effect "bottom up" control of phytoplankton, to contrast it with the long-held "top-down" control theory that says that tiny animals called zooplankton were eating the phytoplankton as fast as they grew. The BNL scientists show that it is nutrients, not grazing, that restricts the population. But they stop far short of saying that adding iron to underproductive patches of ocean could slow global climate change.
The experiment was led by scientists from Moss Landing Marine Laboratories in California. The researchers who designed and built Brookhaven's instruments with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy and NASA also include BNL's Zbigniew Kolber and Paul Falkowski, and scientists from Britain's Plymouth Marine Laboratory.
Lack of Iron Stresses Them Out
It may be easy to tell when humans are stressed, but what about phytoplankton? BNL biochemist Julie LaRoche and her colleagues reported in Nature on August 29 that they have devised a phytoplankton stress test and used it in the waters off of Vancouver, British Columbia.
The test takes advantage of the fact that phytoplankton living in iron-poor oceans "make do" by substituting an iron-free protein, flavodoxin, for their usual ferredoxin, which has to be made with iron. "So, by detecting whether the phytoplankton cell is making flavodoxin, we can tell if it's stressed for iron," LaRoche explained.
In May and September of 1995, LaRoche and her colleagues sampled populations of diatoms, a kind of phytoplankton known to be particularly sensitive to iron deficiency, at five stations in the ocean. Their 560-mile course ran from just off Vancouver to the center of the Pacific Ocean.
After collecting the samples, they mixed phytoplankton cells with antibodies that bound to flavodoxin and revealed how much there was. They found that phytoplankton taken from off-shore, iron-poor waters had nearly 200 times more flavodoxin than those from fertile waters close to shore. The test may help oceanographers with their experiments, since it can indicate phytoplankton iron-stress levels in water samples carried home from a research cruise, without sophisticated equipment or large-scale fertilization.
The study, which included scientists from the University of British Columbia, the University of Delaware and the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, was funded by DOE, the National Science Foundation and the Canadian Joint Global Ocean Flux Study.
Brookhaven National Laboratory carries out basic and applied research in the physical, biomedical and environmental sciences and in selected energy technologies. Brookhaven is operated by Associated Universities, Inc., a nonprofit research management organizations, under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy.

Grove City Heights | Sold
Closed: $146,000 | Listed: $142,900
3 Bed | 1 Bath | 1,160 SqFt (plus basement)
Why We Love It
1. The Updates. This home retains plenty of the charm that comes from homes built in the late 50's, but the modern updates are amazing. From the tile floors, granite counters, and glass tile back splash in the chef's kitchen to the ceramic tile shower and flooring in the bathroom... the details are beautiful. But don't take my word for it, come see for yourself!
2. The Basement. Having a 1-story home with a full basement usually means you have pretty big basement. That's why this home can fit a rec room (complete with laminate floors, a knotty pine bar, and TV space) and separate laundry area on one side... and still have the other half of it dedicated to storage. It's an easy way to gain a lot more square footage than meets the eye.
3. Location. This close-to-everything home is convenient to schools, shopping, restaurants, banks, and parks. You can walk or ride a bicycle to most of them... even during our crazy "Ohio Winters".
What You Need To Know
Walk up to this 1,160 sq.ft. ranch-style home and the charming red front door greets you with open arms.
As you enter into the extra large living room, you will immediately feel at home. Hardwood floors begin here and are a perfect compliment to the gorgeous stone of the wood burning fireplace. The fireplace has a gas igniter and a large hearth to set your coffee mug on while you cozy up to the fire. There is enough room in this space that you can have cabinets and/or television stand and not feel crowded.
Walk to the left and a hallway will lead you to the bedrooms. The hardwood floors continue in all 3 bedrooms, with nice closets and ceiling fans in each. The bathroom is spacious and was updated with ceramic tile floors and a tile bath surround to add a splash of color. As you brush your teeth (please wait until AFTER you have moved in) you'll notice that the updated sink is larger than most.
Head back down the hallway, and to your left is your gorgeous kitchen. The storage, cabinetry, counters, and style of this space are remarkable. Granite counter tops and pull out shelves in the floor-to-ceiling cabinet area provide all the work and pantry space a chef would need. There's even built in shelves above the counter to store your cookbooks (those things we used before smartphones). Plus, you still have plenty of room in the cozy table-nook to enjoy your meals with a view to the back yard. Stainless steel appliances, tile back splash, and an undermount sink add the finishing touches to this space.
Next, take a trip down to the basement and get ready to relax. Whether you want to put your bartender cap on and mix some drinks for guests, or keep it kid friendly and serve sodas or ice cream, this bar area is perfect for entertaining. There is enough room for a couch and another television, gaming area, a place to work out; the options are endless. The laundry area is towards the back of the basement (away from the rec room) and provides plenty of space for hanging and folding your clean clothes.
Walk through the doorway and on the other side of the basement you will find tons more storage space. Keep your decorations, tools, arts and crafts, etc on this side - hidden away from the living space.
Finally, head back upstairs and out the door to the back yard that has been completely fenced-in to contain your pets. Sit back and relax on the covered concrete patio, or have a barbecue, either way there is plenty of outdoor space to enjoy both.
The extra deep garage provides a little extra storage space as well.
This home is so close to everything you will become spoiled. Within walking distance to schools, restaurants, grocery, banks, parks, and the post office. If convenience is your thing, look no further - this is the home for you!

Recently in Iowa and soon in Utah, laws have been passed that criminalize whistleblowers in the agriculture industry. In this week's podcast, we talk to Matt Rice of Mercy for Animals about the recent "Ag Gag' legislation and the atrocities that it will further enable.
The new laws are called "Ag Gag" legislation. If an employee takes a video of animal cruelty or atrocities enacted on the farmed animals and gives it to law enforcement or an animal rights group, they can be arrested and prosecuted.
Most of us look at the eggs, milk or meat in the grocery store and see how appealing it looks. It is packaged with cute logos and lots of comforting words, like Fresh, Natural, USDA Approved, etc. According to Rice what most consumers do NOT know is how the animals we eat are treated, what inhumane practices are considered "standard" or that most of the food we eat comes from corporately owned factory farms.
Consumers have a right to know how their food is being produced and how the animals are being treated so they can make informed choices. Listen to this show and wake up to how the farmed animals are treated in many of these factory farms. Take ACTION to help end the use of battery cages in the United States. Learn what you can do to help stop the laws that block transparency and accountability.

Taking the Long View
Bill Bernstein has released his third "paperback" in his Investing for Adults series. As with the first two installments of the series, this one is terrific. (At $5 for the Kindle version and $10 for print, the price is also very much right.)
The book's title is Deep Risk: How History Informs Portfolio Design. That boggled my mind, too, but the concept is straightforward. Bernstein dispenses with volatility-based asset allocation, advocating instead a different, longer-term approach to building portfolios. Investment adults, he argues, are those who outgrow the stage of fussing over market movements. For assets that they intend to own for several decades, adults pay little attention to the "shallow risk" of investment volatility. They focus instead on avoiding the "deep risk" of permanent damages.
There aren't many investment adults. The industry's science, after all, was built to address shallow risk. Research papers are written, and Nobel Prizes awarded, for demonstrating how to achieve the greatest amount of return for the least amount of standard deviation. Banks measure their portfolios via the shallow-risk calculation of Value at Risk. Financial advisors use tools (including those from Morningstar) that attempt to minimize monthly volatility and maximize returns. It's a shallow-risk world.
Also, adulthood isn't easy. Instinct and the media urge action, not staying the course. Plus, not everybody can afford to be patient. It's all very well to adopt a measured, long-term attitude, but philosophy is scant consolation if circumstances force the investor to sell into a weak market. Warren Buffett can (and does) shrug off shallow risk; the principals at Long-Term Capital Management could not.
For those who do become investment adults, the key lesson is more stocks, less bonds. Per Bernstein's analysis, there are four deep risks that may strike: 1) hyperinflation, 2) severe deflation, 3) government confiscation, and 4) devastation/war. In recent history, the first, that of hyperinflation, has been easily the most common of the dangers, and in such cases bonds (aside from the new, inflation-protected variety) have been a complete disaster.
Even moderate rather than hyperinflation can cause big problems for bonds. For U.S. investors in the mid 20th century, Treasury bonds were truly terrible. From January 1941 through September 1981, per Bernstein's figures, U.S. Treasuries shed 67.3% of their real value. That is, an investor who stashed $10,000 in early 1941 into U.S. Treasury bonds, with instructions that all coupons be reinvested in additional bonds, found upon her return 40 years later that she owned $3,270 in inflation-adjusted terms.
That performance is no better than the most spectacular stock market failure over the past 50 years, Japan post-1990. Bernstein cites a real loss of 58.2% for Japan since January 1990, but that calculation runs through June of this year. Japan's peak-to-trough numbers were worse and about on line with the U.S. Treasury's 40-year showing. To repeat: U.S. Treasuries spent much of last century performing as badly as the worst developed-country stock market in recent memory.
Bonds in countries that suffered hyperinflation, of course, did even worse, falling to zero. (It's hard to lose more than everything.) In contrast, stocks in those countries did remarkably well. Yes, an unexpected spike in inflation damages stocks along with bonds. However, as inflation settles in, stocks adjust. Companies pay their costs in devaluing currency, raise their prices, and so on. As a general rule, businesses carry along through hyperinflation just as they were carrying on before. Bernstein reveals that even in the legendary Weimar Republic, stock investors profited. From 1920 through 1923, German stocks doubled in real terms, even as bondholders were wiped out.
In two of the three remaining deep risks, government confiscation and devastation/war, bonds offer no advantages of over stocks. They are not worse, to be sure, but they are also not superior. In Russia 1917 or Cuba 1958 or Italy 1944 or Germany 1945, it was not good to be in either asset.
Finally, high-quality bonds do offer a significant advantage over stocks during the fourth of Bernstein's deep risks (or "Four Horsemen of Financial Disaster," as he likes to put it), severe deflation. This situation was suggested in 2008, when U.S. Treasury bonds appreciated in price even as U.S. stocks plunged, as the market forecast a possible depression. That depression didn't arrive and stocks quickly rebounded--but when a Depression did occur, 80 years ago, the stock recovery was far slower to arrive. High-quality bonds very much came in handy.
Even there, though, bonds were only a temporary help. Stocks were not permanently impaired. Adopting a 30-year perspective, it's questionable whether the U.S. Great Depression was a deep risk at all or merely the largest and longest of shallow risks. It's also unclear how much investors need to protect against deflation. As Bernstein points out, there have been few examples of deflation post World War II. Moreover, in the most infamous case of Japan, the true driver of the stock market decline was not lower corporate profits due to deflation's effects but rather the shrinkage of historically high stock-price multiples.
In short, the investor concerned about deep risk rather than shallow risk has little need for bonds, aside from the inflation-adjusted variety. Such an investor will own mostly stocks, with a large amount of overseas exposure as deep risks are often country-specific. (Bernstein recommends a value tilt to the stock portfolio, which he argues is helpful during inflationary regimes.) The portfolio will also contain commodities, in particular gold bullion stored overseas, in combating the government confiscation and devastation/war scenarios. Foreign real estate could also be used for that purpose.
You won't hear any quarrels here. In my personal portfolio, I follow the basics of Bernstein's recommendations, and for the same reasons. My long-term holdings are 90% stocks. I don't require liquidity with those assets, I'm not worried about short-term market volatility, and I'm as close to sure as sure can be that stocks will outgain bonds over the next two or three decades. So, why not go heavy on stocks?
One thing that I could use--along with perhaps many readers of this column--is greater international exposure. As with most people, I began my investment career buying U.S. securities, and I haven't much changed that habit. While I'm optimistic about U.S. prospects and think that the chance of U.S. assets being permanently damaged by government confiscation or devastation/war is very low, my portfolio nevertheless would benefit from spreading its geographic wings. Almost certainly, my next trade will be away from the United States.

YALE (US) — Prehistoric birds were far less versatile at flying than their modern descendents, a new study of their feathers shows.
Researchers examined fossils of two types of primitive avians—close relatives of feathered dinosaurs—the Jurassic bird Archaeopteryx lithographica and the feathered dinosaur Anchiornis huxley—and found that the type and arrangement of their wing feathers probably hindered liftoff.
"We don't think these things could take off from the ground," says Nicholas R. Longrich, a postdoctoral fellow with Yale's department of geology and geophysics and lead author of a study appearing online in the journal Current Biology. "They can't fly like a modern bird."
Multiple overlapping layers of long wing feathers would have complicated feather separation, minimizing the bird's ability to overcome drag on the upstroke. By contrast, the wings of modern flying birds typically have a single primary layer of easily separated long feathers overlain by short feathers.
Archaeopteryx and Anchiornis probably used their wings to glide from a height, but they may have had to climb a tree to get there, Longrich says.
While the wing feathers of Archaeopteryx and Anchiornis show striking similarities, they're not identical, and their differences appear to represent early experiments in the evolution of the wing, according to researchers. Archaeopteryx had multiple layers of long flight feathers. In contrast, the dinosaur Anchiornis had an abundance of simple, strip-like feathers that overlap.
"The only bird that has anything remotely similar is a penguin," Longrich says.
Furthermore, the major differences between the wing structure of the ancient avians and that of modern birds suggest that living birds offer few clues about the origins of wing design.
"We are starting to get an intricate picture of how feathers and birds evolved from within the dinosaurs," says co-author Jacob Vinther, who earned his PhD at Yale and is now with the University of Bristol in the UK. "We now seem to see that feathers evolved initially for insulation.
"More complex vaned or pinnate feathers evolved for display. These display feathers turned out to be excellent membranes that could have been utilized for aerial locomotion, which only very late in bird evolution became what we consider flapping flight."
Other authors are Qingjin Meng and Quangguo Li of the Beijing Museum of Natural History, and Anthony P. Russell of the University of Calgary. The Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies supported the research.

I have never been pumped by a trailer, even TDK's trailers.
Words can't describe how I'm feeling now.
While I'd been optimistic about this movie I did have concerns. Now those concerns are gone.
In 2008 and for awhile after I thought there was no way I'd ever be as excited for a movie as I was for The Dark Knight. Not unless a live action Legend of Zelda film was ever made.
but now, that I saw that, I have have called The Dark Knight the greatest film every made repeatedly. Think this will be better.
This IS THE Movie I have waited my entire life for. Star Wars will hold me over, but this is the main course.
On this Blog I shall ramble about my various Nerdy interests, and other random topics. I have Discus installed, feel free to comment that was or with your Blogger account. Also don't hesitate to comment on old posts, check em.

Pulse Detection Firmware (FWPD)
Stand-alone firmware package with real-time pulse detection functionsDatasheet
The edge of technology
FWPD is a firmware for automatic detection and analysis of pulse-shaped data. The firmware enables fully data-driven acquisition on each individual channel. The pulse analysis is based on the Digital Baseline Stabilizer, DBS, which is SP Devices' proprietary technology for detecting and correcting baseline. DBS provides a long-term stable baseline for pulse detection. In an environment with rapid changes, there is a fast responding moving average filter to determine the baseline. The threshold for a pulse can be set as a level from the baseline for direct detection of pulses above a certain level. Adding a timing parameter between the moving average filter and the trigger result in a slope detector.
The record length is dynamic and data-driven, that is, a short pulse result in a short record. This means that uninteresting regions between events are not recorded. This is often referred to as zero-suppression. The record includes programmable leading and trailing edge windows to capture the slope of the pulses.
The channels are individually analyzed by histogram calculation and the interaction between channels is determined through time-stamp for pulse-to-pulse timing and coincidence trigger for simultaneous events. By default, FWPD contains peak height and width calculation. If additional custom signal processing is required, use the ADQ7 or ADQ14 Development Kit to add your own pulse analysis.Benefits
The powerful signal analysis in the FPGA on the digitizer efficiently reduces the amount of data to be handled by the host PC system which results in:Applications
- Relaxed data transfer requirements
- Reduced CPU usage on the host PC
- Ability to reduce required disk storage
Large-scale integration support
- Analytical instrumentation
- Particle physics
- Large scale installation
- General time-of-flight
FWPD supports multi-channel installations through the following steps:
- The external trigger input resets the time-stamp in all the units in the installation.
- The synchronization input starts acquisition simultaneously in all units.
- Each channel operates independently to acquire data.
- The automatic signal analysis discards uninteresting information and save disk space.
- The time-stamp enables sort and analysis in the post processing.
Getting started
- FWPD is delivered with a GUI and example software for setting up the target system.
- There is also a quick-start self-contained application that illustrate the operation.
- Single/dual channel
- Up to 10 GSPS sampling rate
- Up to 3 GHz input bandwidth
- DC-coupled

I'm looking at creating multiple plugins definitions in a single file. I thought I could try modifying the simple noise plugin to see how it works but I'm not getting multiple plugins listed in fmod. Perhaps I am doing something wrong? I've posted my modified example here
All I've done is added a new FMOD_DSP_DESCRIPTION called FMOD_Noise_Desc2. I've created a FMOD_PLUGINLIST array that includes the two descriptors and I've replaced FMODGetDSPDescription() with FMODGetPluginDescriptionList().
Is there something else I'm doing wrong, I'm guessing I've overlooked something obvious?

Questions Posed by FCC Open Internet NPRM
The sky hasn't fallen yet. The FCC has proposed Open Internet regulations and has posed a number of questions for public comment in the recent Open Internet NPRM (notice of proposed rule making). If you want to learn more about the Open Internet NPRM, check out my blog on the Sound and Vision website. Here is what you can do if you want to save Net Neutrality–making sure that no websites are blocked, slowed down, or otherwise limited in favor of other websites.
The following excerpts have been copied directly from the FCC's Open Internet NPRM. While you can make general comments to the FCC, why not answer their specific questions at Open Internet Comments ?
Also, the ability of the FCC to regulate the Internet is being threatened by some Congress representatives who are trying to block Title II reclassification of broadband providers that allows the FCC to make net neutrality rules. Please learn more at the FreePress.net website and send a letter to your Congress rep.
These are the subjects and questions that the FCC is asking for comments on. They are outright asking for ideas, and any opinions of things they are missing, as well as ways they might be blind-sided. If you have expertise, (technical, marketing, business), be sure to answer those questions. If you just want to say, "Hell, no!…I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" feel free to do that too.
Questions posed to all of us end users:
(Note that these questions and paragraphs have been copied directly from the NPRM):
Is your broadband provider doing a good job?
We seek comment on the extent to which the existing transparency rule is effectively informing end users. We are interested both in what information broadband providers are disclosing to end users and how that information is being disclosed. In addition, we seek comment on the incentives and ability of broadband providers to provide service at lower quality or higher prices than their subscribers expected when they enrolled, and on the incentives and ability of subscribers to choose other options if their broadband providers fail to live up to these expectations. If a subscriber is locked in to a particular provider, how can transparency rules bring the performance of that provider up to the subscriber's expectations?
How can Internet providers make Internet speed information easier to understand?
We seek comment on whether there are ways to make the content and format of disclosures more accessible and understandable to end users. With respect to content, should the Commission require the disclosure of specific broadband provider network practices, performance characteristics (e.g., effective download speeds, upload speeds, latency, and packet loss), and/or terms and conditions of service to end users (e.g., data caps)?
What information should the Internet Providers be required to tell us?
Should we require disclosure of any type of traffic exempted from any data caps, and how end users can find their current consumption levels? Should we require that disclosures explain any restrictions on tethering for mobile devices? Should the Commission expand its transparency efforts to include measurement of other aspects of service such as packet loss, packet corruption, latency, and jitter in addition to upstream and downstream speed? Should the Commission require the reporting of actual achieved results for each category?
For example, to ensure the effectiveness of the no-blocking rule proposed below, should the Commission mandate that broadband providers disclose—in a more rigorous and consistent way—the expected performance end users can expect from their broadband service?
Should the public be allowed anonymity when reporting bad conduct by Internet providers?
Should the Commission permit individuals to report possible noncompliance with our open Internet rules anonymously or take other steps to protect the identity of individuals who may be concerned about retaliation for raising concerns?
No website should be slowed below a minimum level–how should that be defined and should the information about Internet providers infractions be made available to the public?
Should we allow ANY fast-lane deals between big web companies (called "edge providers") and Internet providers?
Should the Commission establish and make public a list of those broadband providers that block or otherwise limit certain types of traffic? Should the Commission collect and publish information on pay-for-priority arrangements? In what timeframe should the Commission require providers to report such changes in their traffic management policies to the Commission?
With a clarification that it does not preclude broadband providers from negotiating individualized, differentiated arrangements with similarly situated edge providers (subject to the separate commercial reasonableness rule or its equivalent). So long as broadband providers do not degrade lawful content or service to below a minimum level of access, they would not run afoul of the proposed rule. We also seek comment below on how to define that minimum level of service. Alternatively, we seek comment on whether we should adopt a no-blocking rule that does not allow for priority agreements with edge providers and how we would do so consistent with sources of legal authority other than section 706, including Title II.
While anybody can comment on the following questions, if you work in the Internet or Cable field, the FCC is seeking answers that come from your experience:
About competition and market power: "Thus, we seek comment on whether the Commission should engage in a market power analysis with respect to broadband providers and, if so, how we should go about that analysis. "
About the disadvantage of web companies making fast lane deals: Do edge providers that incur significant sunk costs in the delivery of their output face "lock-in" problems if they become dependent on a particular pathway to their current or potential users? In the absence of open Internet protections, would those edge providers face uncertainty that would hamper their ability to attract capital?
For Internet Engineers and techs: Is it technically feasible for a broadband provider to block or degrade based on the location or neighborhood of the end user? Is it likely that it would do so? If so, how should our rules address this concern?
About Internet traffic management: For example, a provider can use technical methods like packet classification, admission control and resource reservation, rate control and traffic shaping, as well as packet dropping and packet scheduling to identify and manage traffic on its network. Such techniques may provide additional ability to discriminate in a way that is largely opaque to edge providers and end users. We seek comment on the technical tools broadband providers can and do use to manage traffic on their networks.
About their fast lane proposal: how can we ensure that a broadband provider would not be able to evade our open Internet rules by engaging in traffic exchange practices that would be outside the scope of the rules as proposed?
About watch dog on Internet Providers: We seek comment on this conclusion as applied to an enhanced transparency rule, our re-adoption of the no-blocking rule, and the proposal to adopt a "commercially reasonable" standard. How can we ensure that the ability of providers to engage in reasonable network management is not used to circumvent the open Internet protections implemented by our proposed rules?

Anybody who thinks the multiple trillions of federal tax dollars spent by President Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress on the TARP bailouts for Wall Street and the auto industry, the economic stimulus bill, and Obamacare were excessive better get a good grip.
The mother of all taxpayer bailouts is right around the corner.
Union bosses want taxpayers to foot the cost for bailing out the labor organizations' many failing pension plans that millions of their members are counting on to "be there" when they retire. Unfortunately, the average union pension plan has only enough money to cover 62 percent of its financial obligations.
Such a low level of funding puts those plans on the government's critical list. Pension plans funded below 80 percent are considered "endangered" by the government. Below 65 percent is "critical." With union membership declining, that puts these funds into a tailspin from which they'll likely never pull out.
The government's Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation only guarantees pensioners $12,000 a year, should their pension plan fail. Good luck retiring on that.
But as the economy sours, there's increasing pressure to bail out workers from failing unions. Last July, for example, the PBGC agreed to take on $6.2 billion in pension liabilities from bankrupt auto parts manufacturer Delphi. And that's just one company. In 2007, the PBGC was already running a deficit of nearly a billion dollars. Things will only get worse as the PBGC is expected to assume $86 billion in liabilities by 2015.
Concern over underfunded pensions is the real reason behind nearly every legislative item for which unions are currently agitating. One of the top union priorities is "card check" legislation — which would eliminate secret ballots in workplace representation elections, marking a return to the union thuggery of yesteryear. Without secret ballots, unions could identify and bully workers who don't support recognizing the union.
But unions don't want card check just so they can organize more workplaces and collect more dues — that's chump change. They want to organize more workplaces so they can then use mandatory binding arbitration to force more businesses into multi-employer pension plans.
Under "last man standing" accounting rules, if you have five companies in a multi-employer pension plan and four of them go bankrupt, the last company standing has to pay for the pension plans of all five companies.
Multi-employer pension liabilities kill companies. Even if your business is fiscally sound, the liability of other companies you're linked with can severely damage your ability to get a loan or raise capital.
No wonder the unionized United Parcel Service recently shelled out a whopping $6.1 billion to get out of the multi-employer pension plan in which it was formally enrolled. Prior to UPS shelling out the money, the company's pension liabilities were estimated to be in the neighborhood of $4 billion, but turned out to be much higher.
That's because unions are trying to hide the severity of the problem from their own workers. The union officers know this. That's why the Service Employees International Union has a separate pension plan for its officers — from 2002 to 2005 that plan was on average funded at 123 percent.
Meanwhile, the pension plan of rank-and-file union members was near the "endangered" status at 82 percent, or assets of only $19,025 per employee. (Given the downturn in the economy in the last five years, it's almost certainly much worse now.)
Rather than acknowledge their pension plans have been mismanaged, unions are counting on Democrats to bail them out. Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., has introduced legislation to explicitly put taxpayers on the hook for failing union plans. Not surprisingly, many of Pomeroy's biggest campaign donors are organized labor.
And after $400 million in campaign donations in 2008, if unions want a bailout it's going to be hard for Democrats to say no.

I am relocating to Melbourne from WA in September to take up a new challenge in my full time role as a nurse & midwife. I am married with 2 children & a Kelpie who will be following over at the end of the year. So I am looking for some safe, quiet, close to work accommodation until I can find a home for us. I work shifts & mostly nights so you won't see much of me! But when you do I am easy to get along with, neat & tidy, enjoy organic food & like to look after myself body, mind & spirit. I am looking forward to exploring Melbourne & hope that someone out there may be able to offer up the perfect fit. Thank you

Sussex Rocks kicked off today with 17 budding rockstars looking to further their game during the week-long Monsters of Rock Summer Camp!
After a short introduction with Sussex Rocks tutors Richard and Jason the students split themselves into four bands and headed to the rehearsal rooms to begin the days band workshops.
The bands spent all day working on classic rock material from Deep Purple and AC/DC to The Troggs and Queen! One band had a saxophonist (Thomas) and jammed the Gerry Rafferty classic 'Baker Street'…
…while other bands knocked out rousing renditions of AC/DC's 'Highway To Hell' and Bob Dylan's 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door'.
A highlight of the day was bringing the youngsters together and watching them enjoy playing with other musicians, many for the very first time. One particular favourite track was 'House Of The Rising Sun' by The Animals.
The traditional American folk song was a hit for the English rock band in 1964 and was a #1 chart hit for the group in five countries, including United Kingdom and United States.
House Of The Rising Sun – The Animals
Intro Riff: "House Of The Rising Sun" – The Animals
The main hook of the song is built around a repeating 6/8 broken chord arpeggio rhythm and features predominantly open chords, which is great for the beginner guitarist.

Kings tweak lineup in hopes of staving off elimination
SAN JOSE, Calif. – The Los Angeles Kings are making lineup and line changes Saturday night at HP Pavilion in an attempt to stave off elimination in their Western Conference Quarterfinal series with the San Jose Sharks.
Down 3-1 in the series, Kings coach Terry Murray has chosen to insert left wing Scott Parse in the lineup and use him on a line with Michal Handzus and Justin Williams.
Dustin Penner, who has been a major disappointment since his trading deadline acquisition from Edmonton, will play on a line with Jarret Stoll and Kevin Westgarth.
"I think I'm overthinking a lot," Penner, who has a single assist and is a minus-4 in the series, said Saturday morning. "With a new team I'm not going out there and doing the things that got me here. Everybody is frustrated."
Ryan Smyth will skate alongside Trevor Lewis and Dustin Brown, with the Kyle Clifford-Brad Richardson-Wayne Simmonds unit remaining intact.
Alexei Ponikarovsky, who scored a goal in Game 4, and Oscar Moller will be healthy scratches.
"It's a little bit of a risk, but I haven't been getting enough from the top line on that left side, from the productive side of it," Murray said of the changes. "Parse has ability, has skill, so I'm going to take that look tonight."
Parse, 26, hasn't played since Nov. 15 after suffering a hip injury that required surgery. A 5-foot-11, 188-pounder, Parse had 1 goal and 3 assists in five games when he went on injured reserve. He had 11 goals and 13 assists in 59 games with the Kings in 2009-10.
"I've been skating hard for the past three weeks, so I was hoping to return in these playoffs some time," Parse said. "I'm good to go. I'm excited."
Team defense – or the lack of it -- has been a major problem for the Kings since they took a 4-0 lead 44 seconds into the second period of Game 3. The Sharks have outscored the Kings 12-4 since then in winning two games in a row.
"We need to be better defensively … obviously," Parse said. "You can't give up six goals a game."
Murray said the Kings have been "out of sync" in the defensive end. He mentioned the goal center Joe Thornton scored early in the third period of Game 4 that gave the Sharks a 4-2 lead after the Kings had cut a 3-0 deficit to 3-2.
"We had nobody in front of the net," Murray said. "That hasn't happened to us in three years. When you get into the critical games we've done a very good job of checking and reading and reacting the right way. Those are the plays that I'm looking at that are a concern, and we have to clean it up tonight.
"The thing that I really want to see us do now is get back to our game. I think we're really out of character in what we've been doing – the puck management, the turnovers in the neutral zone that are coming right back at us, the D-zone coverage. We're just out of sync here.
"We're chasing, we're putting pucks in our own net. We're just not in the flow of the game the way we've shown over the last couple of years. Sometimes you have a bad three days and I'm hoping that's the proper way to look at it right now. San Jose came into our building and won both games, so we need to bounce back here with our best effort."
Murray emphasized that the Kings need contributions from all four lines to counteract the Sharks' depth up front.
"They've got three dominant lines, three lines that are probably as good as any team in the National Hockey League," he said. "They can play any way you want and any way they want. So it's important for us to play four lines.
"When you have your top guy out of the lineup like this," Murray added, referring to injured center Anze Kopitar, "everybody has to dig in, check the proper way and play hard every shift."

What's been happening at your house these days? Does spring {or autumn} abound everywhere you look? Have you had a lot of rain? I know Texas has had some terrible rain and flooding.
Here at 405 {our house number}, the garden is beginning to take shape, thanks to a ton of work from Mr. Peepaw and a small assist from yours truly. I was able to cut our first two roses for the season, here you see the red one. Since the last couple of seasons were a bit sparse, I'm hoping for better things this year.
It's always hard for me to tinker with the natural color of any flowers, whether we grow them or buy them. But just for the heck of it, I used Kim's chocolate preset on this pink one and thought it was quite nice, bringing out some of the interesting detail of the flower.
And finally, that same pink rose on our very weather-worn garden bench. Don't you just love the texture on that bench? I think this one and its partner may not make it past this summer, they're really in bad shape. We should put a 'do not sit' sign on each of them like you see on the antique furniture in house museums.
In other news, there are only seven more days in this school year. Gosh, it's so hard to believe that Campbell will soon be a rising third grader. Just this morning, I was thinking about the day she was born, not quite 8 years ago. Come to think of it, how did my daughter get to be 38 in such an short timespan? It seems like the years have just all disappeared like bubbles.
But that's why we have photographs, isn't it? To remember the wonderful days of our lives. I'll leave you with a photo of a happy Campbell on the first day of second grade, last August. Where did the year go?
And here she is a couple of weeks ago after her piano recital.
Do they have to grow up so quickly?
With gratitude,

An unlikely pair meets in an unlikely place for romance: the bedsides of their dying mothers, who are sharing a room at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Karla is a loud, crass comedian, trying to get her act together; Don is a meek, sad super-nerd, dealing with the challenges of single parenting. They couldn't be more different, except that they are sharing one of the most difficult and personal experiences a person can have – losing their mothers.
See the show that reviewers are calling "a fantastically performed and directed show full of hilarity" (UTBA) and a "staggering production goes places that few in Utah will go, and does so with wit, wisdom, and a fair amount of daring" (Front Row Reviewers of Utah).

text: Everything you might want to know about life and death on islands here, there, and everywhere on the globe can be found in Quammen's study of island biogeography. The National Magazine Award-winning science writer (Outside magazine; The Flight of the Iguana, 1988, etc.) asks, Why does island life differ radically from mainland life? The answer, not surprisingly, is evolution. There are unique evolutionary opportunities as well as pressures on islands. On oceanic islands, which arise from deep sea eruptions (such as the Galpagos Islands), there may be fewer varieties of species; the first arrivals often expand to fill all sorts of ecological niches in a process called adaptive radiation. So it was with the varied populations of finches that Charles Darwin observed in the Galpagos. Islands that sit on continental shelves near enough to mainlands to have been connected by land bridges at times of major glaciation may have animal species as varied as those on the mainland, but the species are likely to differ in their behavior or appearance from mainland relatives. Some reptiles isolated on islands grew large, like the Komodo dragon of Indonesia; some mammals shrank, like the pygmy elephants found in Sicily. Some birds became flightless, like the celebrated dodo native to Mauritius. Quammen provides abundant examples of the variables that can foster or doom populations, ranging from the sheer size of an island (big is better), to bouts of bad weather, to the introduction of farming and the animal camp followers of man: pigs, rats, and cats. The book's virtues include Quammen's vivid account of his treks to the world's wild places and interviews with the experts he finds there. The downside is too much of a muchness; Quammen's zeal to spill all his notes and a breezy style that grows wearying. Taken in small bites, however, there is much to glean here about the wonders, and also the fragility, of life on earth.

This is a traditional late summer early fall snack, usually served with 'new wine'. It is not a sweet cake, but a nice hearty fall weather dish
- 1 PKG Dry Yeast
- 1 cup warm lukewarm milk
- 13 oz flour
- 2 oz butter
- 1 egg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon sugar
- For the topping
- 2 lbs onion, peeled and cut into 1/8 inch rings
- 6 oz raw bacon, diced
- 16 oz crème fraiche
- 4 eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup Emmental cheese
- For the dough:. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk, and add the sugar and a dash of the flour, stir, cover and keep in a warm place for ten minutes. Add the rest of the dough ingredients in the pastry mixer and blend until you have a ball. Cover and keep in a warm place for twenty minutes until the dough rises. Preheat the oven to 450°f. Sautée the onion rings with the bacon in a large skillet, until the onions are transparent, and soft, but not caramelized. This should take about 10-15 minutes. In a seperate bowl, mix eggs, creme fraiche, cheese, nutmeg, and pepper together with a whisk until well incorporated and smooth. Roll the dough out into a flat, large roasting pan (you want something with a slight edge to it) and then pour the onion and bacon mixture over the dough and spread it out to cover the dough evenly. Pour the egg-creme-cheese mixture over the top and put it in the oven for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
