I have so much gratitude for being lead to Joe's blog. It's a winding road but an interesting journey.
I was born in 1980, so that makes me 34 today. (This is relevant, I promise.) I was an avid reader in my early teens, reading a book a day if allowed.
Then I went to high school. The pressure I put on myself to get good grades as well as my involvement in band, sports, a boyfriend I would later marry, and extracurricular clubs meant my free time was occupied with other things. Of course, assignments forced me to read books I never would have chosen to read (but they weren't all bad). Analyzing plot, characters, symbolism, comparing and contrasting events, etc, for reports took the fun out of reading.
In college, I majored in mechanical engineering and had even less time to read. It wasn't even on my radar. I actually scoffed at people who said they read for fun.
Fast forward to November 2008. My neighbor invited to me come over for breakfast to meet some of the neighbors. I went and found out it was a book club meeting. They had made recipes from the latest book they read and gathered to chat about it.
That night, my husband came home from work to find a book on the table. He didn't know what to think.
"What's that?" he asked pointing to it.
"I went to Laura's today, and guess what?" I said, outraged at the situation I found myself in. "I have a month to read it, and I have to make 5 dozen cookies for a Christmas cookie exchange!"
He laughed.
I did, too. Later.
I put off reading that darn book for 2 weeks. Then my analyzing side kicked in. If I didn't start reading it that day, I had to read a minimum of 47 pages a day to finish in time. (Adult peer pressure at its finest, and ever the good student!)
I begrudgingly started it that day, and read throughout the night because I couldn't put it down. When I finished, I read it again, then had to get my hands on the next 3 books in the series. I finished them in 4 days. Then I went to the library of all places and got a library card. I read all sorts of different books. I even learned surprising things about some of my close friends during this process – they were avid readers too, and recommended authors to me.
I realized I could find out about said authors by looking online, something that didn't exist when I was a teen. I scoured their websites, read their FAQs, and learned about their publishing journey. I learned that some gained their inspiration from dreams, real life, and conversations in their heads.
I played out conversations and situational scenarios in my head all the time, so I figured I should write them down too, just to see what materialized. That was the beginning of my book.
As I did more research on the business of writing, I realized the overwhelming majority emphasized how difficult it was to get traditionally published. Yet, it was the only path I knew of. I had only read traditionally pubbed authors at the time. "Difficult" is too mild a word, as many of you know from your own experiences, so I worked on my book less and less, and it became something I'd do only if inspiration hit, although I enjoyed working on it. I'd think, "One day. Maybe."
In the meantime, I had my first son and worked on the book while he napped. I still read blogs about the dreaded query letter, and author bios, hoping to learn how to increase my chances whenever I finished it. I like to be prepared, and I like to know what to do before I have to do it. I came across an archived article Nathan Bransford wrote titled "Amanda Hocking and the 99-Cent Kindle Millionaires" (link: http://blog.nathanbransford.com/2011/03/amanda-hocking-and-99-cent-kindle.html)
Naturally it mentioned Amanda and Joe, whose sites I soon visited to learn more. I couldn't
believe what I read on Joe's blog. His publishing experiences made me question what I thought I knew. It was scary. I didn't want to have to think of a title to my book, let alone have input for a cover. I wanted the experts to do that. I also wanted them to tell me what worked and didn't and what I should change to make it better. After all, they were the professionals with experience in all these areas. I just had a story I wanted to tell, and would leave the 'marketability' aspect to them. As I read further into Joe's archives, I realized that editors and the publishing team sometimes make great decisions and not so great decisions, and maybe I didn't want them in control, let alone give up my rights – which was something I never realized, after all.
It's true that you should write the type of book you'd enjoy reading, because not only do you read it so many times you have to love it, but also you have the potential to fill a vacancy. And the more I had read, the more I realized there needed to be more complex books out there for teens and adults who like to read YA, among other genres. I don't do the things I find tedious and annoying in other's books (which is a whole other topic), or meaningless fillers, or even endings that aren't true to the direction of the plot.
The point of this is to say, I think readers are smarter than the way some authors treat them, and my intention is to provide readers with above average stories in my genre, and emotional investments in the characters that pay off. That's not to say I won't ever temporarily toy with readers' emotions, but I strive for every plot element to cohesively work together, as well as make sense in the grand arc of the series.
The book writing process has been the most challenging, infuriating, and rewarding creative outlet I've ever had. There were many times I wondered if I could even pull it off. I had to do a lot of growing and stretching in the 5.5 years it's taken to get to this point, but I'm incredibly proud of what I've created.
Learning about the self-pubbing revolution was like learning about a different sector of life that I never knew existed. I thank the universe for conspiring to make this happen, for giving me the curiosity and tenacity to finish what I started, and to Joe for continuing to post about his experiences, views, and lessons along the way. Joe, I wouldn't have done this if it wasn't for you rooting for us and showing us another way, or the input from your awesome contributors. Thank you all! Self publishing is the publishing path I was meant to take. I would have easily been taken advantage of and signed a crappy contract, never knowing better!
Joe sez: Happy birthday, Celesete. And congrats! I just bought your book, and I hope you do well.

MIDNIGHT RUNES, THE BESTOWED ONES BOOK 1 is a YA paranormal suburban fantasy over 300 pages available today on Amazon here http://www.amazon.com/Midnight-Runes-The-Bestowed-Ones-ebook/dp/B00KGGQA0W/ref=pd_rhf_ee_p_d_1
About Celeste Buie
I live in Michigan with my husband, our two sons, daughter-on-the-way, and huge adopted dog.
We've lived in three cities within this beautiful state and have visited many of the places mentioned in the Bestowed Ones' series. One of the most adventurous things I've done is horseback ride across the state on the Lake to Lake trail. I love traveling, giving back to the community, and taking on all forms of creative projects.
Joe sez: There are two universal takeaways from Celeste's blog post that I want to reiterate.
First, I'm constantly reading about how overall readership isn't growing. Reading for pleasure is dwindling, people say. There is too much other competition with other, sexier media, like games, movies, TV, Internet, music, etc., people say. Children aren't reading for pleasure anymore, people say. Only one adult in a billion actually read a novel in the last fifty years, people say.
Blah blah blah.
Reading will always be a viable for of entertainment. I'm sure of this because even though the delivery system may change (cave walls, paper, ebooks) there are very few leisure activities that are as immersive. Reading stimulates the brain in a way watching YouTube never will, and even people who believe they have an aversion to it (something I hear a lot) get addicted when they read the right book (something I also hear a lot).
Just as playground jokes get passed down from generation to generation (Orange you glad I didn't say banana?) all we need is for book groups to keep inviting 30-somethings and 20-somethings and reading will continue to hook new readers.
The second take-away I got from Celeste's post was something I get a lot of: people thanking me for opening their eyes about self-publishing.
I beat the same drum, continually, because this is the Newbie's Guide to Publishing, not the Old Pro's Guide. Just as every ebook is new to readers who have never heard of it before, the idea that self-publishing is a viable alternative to legacy publishing is a revelation to writers who, like Celeste, thought there was only one way--the query/agent/publisher meme so many of us have grown up believing.
Just as new readers need a little nudge, new writers do as well. We all have preconceptions about things. The best way to shatter those preconceptions is to actually try something different. If more adults were peer-pressured into reading, a percentage of them would enjoy it. And if more writers learn about self-publishing, they'll give it a shot.
It's the job of every one of us to encourage both activities. I've bought over a dozen Kindles for friends and family. I've given away over a million ebooks. And I keep preaching the same things on my blog, over and over, because these things still aren't known by newbies.
One of the greatest gifts you can give is teaching people something new. And one of the greatest joys in life is creeping out of your comfort zone and trying something different.
Do both.

5 key players in IRS mess
It's not every day that the central figures in a Washington scandal are the people who speak Tax Code jargon for a living.
But now that the latest scandal is something everyone can understand — how the Internal Revenue Service may have singled out conservative groups for extra tough scrutiny — the nation is about to meet tax officials you'd normally never encounter unless you deal with the world of 501(c)(4) tax exemptions.
Story Continued Below
Here's a guide to the key players in the IRS scandal:
1. Steven Miller, acting IRS commissioner
Miller learned the IRS was targeting conservative groups in May 2012, when he was still a deputy commissioner at the agency.
( Also on POLITICO: Acting IRS chief knew of targeting in 2012)
He'll face all of the questions from outraged lawmakers on Friday, when he testifies at a House Ways and Means hearing on the scandal.
Miller wasn't in charge of the IRS when the targeting took place — he took over when Commissioner Douglas Shulman stepped down after the 2012 election.
Miller is a well-liked career employee of the IRS and was considered a top contender to permanently take over.
Until now.
"He's very bright; he's a very good person. But I think now, sadly, he'll be tainted to some extent," said a former IRS employee who worked with Miller for years and wished to remain unnamed. "When people are calling for heads to roll, I don't think they're going to want to keep someone who was there — no matter to what extent he knew about it or didn't know about it."
( Also on POLITICO: Scandal politics sweep Capitol Hill)
Miller joined the IRS after a brief stint at the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation. He bounced around the IRS before moving up the ladder of the team at the center of the scandal: the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division.
He joined the division as director of Exempt Organizations Division in 1999 and eventually became commissioner of the division. He left the division in April 2009, nearly a year before the IRS created the 501(c)(4) classification for political groups. He would have missed the rollout of applications and filings that triggered the current controversy.
Before taking over as commissioner, Miller shifted to the large and midsize business division to work on corporate Tax Code issues.

A source of reliable, budget-friendly wines and, increasingly, more premium bottlings, Chile is one of South America's most important wine-producing countries. Long and thin, it is largely isolated geographically, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Andes Mountains to the east, and the Atacama desert to the north. These natural borders gave Chile the very favorable benefit of being the only country to avoid the disastrous phylloxera infestation of the late 1800s. As a result, vines can be planted on their own rootstock rather than grafted. Though viticulture was introduced to the country by conquistadors from Spain, today Chile's wine production is most influenced by the French, who emigrated here in large numbers to escape the blight of phylloxera. These settlers have invested heavily in local vineyards and wineries.
Chile's vineyards, planted mainly with international varieties, vary widely in climate and soil type from north to south. The Coquimbo region in the far north contains the Elqui and Limari Valleys, where minimal rainfall and intense sunlight are offset by chilly breezes from the Humboldt current to produce cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Aconcagua region contains the eponymous Aconcagua Valley—hot and dry and home to full-bodied red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot—as well as Casablanca Valley and San Antonio Valley, which focus on light-bodied Pinot Noir and cool-climate whites like Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The Central Valley is home to the Maipo, Rapel, Curicó, and Maule Valleys, which produce a wide variety of red and white wines. Maipo in particular is known for Carmenère, Chile's unofficial signature grape. In the up-and-coming southern regions of Bio Bio and Itata, excellent cool-climate Riesling, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir are made.

Over at Al Jazeera, Trita Parsi and I explore both the limitations and potential of using the Cuban Missile Crises as an analogy to the current situation between Israel and Iran.
"Watching the conflict between Iran and Israel escalate, it's hard not to draw analogies and lessons from history. Indeed, Netanyahu's thinking in this regard is very much anchored in the past: "The year is 1938 and Iran is Germany", time and again he has warned. Such analogs provide leaders with a quick and handy "user manual": a way to sell a desired policy path and provide a platform for action.
Yet as mental shortcuts, analogs could easily lead to unwanted outcomes. Crucial decisions, like going to war, could be based on paying attention to the wrong lessons, or making a false comparison between two different situations. Indeed, it is neither 1938 (Iran is far from having a bomb or a delivery system) nor is Iran Nazi Germany (Iran's military budget is fraction of that of Israel and the US). Claiming so, however, leaves no room for any response save military force.
Recently, another historical episode, the Cuban Missile Crisis, has been gaining traction. Just as the US, the analogy goes, faced the intolerable choice of either attacking Cuba or allowing Soviet nuclear weapons in its own backyard, so too Israel/US must decide between attacking Iran or allowing it to become nuclear."

IFTLE 118 IMAPS 2012 part 2
Shinko and CEA Leti
With the recent announcements by Xilinx, Altera and others the commercial production of 2.5D products on "high density" interposers is entering the realm of commercial reality. While it is clear that fine featured interpsoers will come from foundries like TSMC, there have been questions, about "coarse featured" interposers in terms of who will make them and what applications they will be used in. [see IFTLE 94, "Experts discuss interposer Infrastructure at IMAPS Device Pkging Conf"]
Shinko and Leti now describe integration and electrical characterization of such a "coarse featured" 3D silicon Interposer demonstrator for a SiP application. This demonstrator consists of (4) 10 Ã?? 10 mm chips mounted on a 26 Ã?? 26 mm Si interposer with 25µm microbumps on 50µm pitch and underfilled. TSV diameter are 10µm and interposer thickness is 100µm for an Aspect Ratio (AR) of 10. We are told that RDL on both sides of the interposer are done with a "semi additive process" although we are not given line width or pitch. We assume these are "coarse pitch" meaning 5µm or greater.
The populated interposer is then mounted on the PWB using Sn-57Bi solder to achieve low temp reflow. These packaged test structures were tested for TSV continuity and via chain resistance. These packages also survived 100 hrs at 125°C, 1000 cycles from -55 to 125°C, and 1000 hrs of HAST.
IBM Japan
IBM Japan reported on the warpage and mechanical stresses generated during chip and interposer assembly processes. Chip and package assumptions are shown below.
They modeled the following sequences:
Sequences are each divided into two steps, with either chip joining or interposer joining being the first step.
In the chips first sequence, interposer warpage is caused by CTE mismatch between interposer and RDL. Results are highly dependent on the thickness of the interposer. A 100µm to 200µm thick interposer can have more than 200µm displacement which will make it difficult to mount to the organic substrate. Underfill between the chips and interposer inhibits warpage.
Warpage of the interposer in the interposer to laminate first sequence is convex. A 100µm glass interposer shows less displacement than silicon.
The evaluated Von Mises stress on the interposer to substrate solder balls and found the largest stress was developed by the thickest silicon interposer and the lowest on the thinnest glass interposer.
In their paper "Stacking Aspects in the View of Scaling", IMEC points out that when pitch goes below 40µm "stacking accuracy is one of the main drivers to ensure yielding devices." It is shown that stacking can be made less sensitive to in plane misalignment by the obvious options of increasing the pad size or decreasing the solder bump size, i.e. making the landing pads on the interposer larger than the bumps on the chip makes up for misalignment.
In a second presentation, "Small pitch microbumping and experimental investigation for underfilling 3D stacks," they report on 3D stacking characterization when using pre applied underfill.
For 3D stacking capillary underfilling has clear limits in terms of the gap between die and the bump pitch. This limits high density integration and therefore shifts focus onto pre applied underfill where the material is dispensed on the landing die before stacking. Pre-applied UF does have concerns such as transparency for alignment marks and UF/filler entrapment between bumps.
IMECs studies reveal that both NUF/NCP (define) and WUF (wafer underfill) have commercial products that result in >90% electrical yield after underfilling, although issues such as delamination of WUF films was observed.
Thin chip stacking using B2F technology
For many years PFTLE and IFTLE have been proponents of die thinning for 3D IC stacks because it not only has an effect on the final thickness of the product, but also has a direct effect on the TSV AR. When die are thinned to i.e. 25µm they can be stacked B2F without TSV and metallized over the edge to make interconnect. This technology was first described by Toepper from Fraunhoffer IZM.
In this presentation, ST Micro, CEA Leti, Datacon, Disco, and EVG presented two approaches have been investigated for B2F bonding of the thinned die: (1) applying a die attach film (DAF) bonding layer, or (2) using spin coated polymers for the die attach.
Thin die prep is required. In order to obtain good step coverage, die are singulated at 45° to provide edge slope. Once mounted on tape, plasma stress relief is applied. Without plasma treatment of the backside and edges, they found 100% of the die broke during the subsequent pick and place operation.
Using DAF is an acceptable solution but placement accuracy was degraded due to the presence of the DAF under the die and tool clogging by the DAF.
Spin-on polymer was found to be a better solution. They examined BCB, PI, and AL-X . PI showed outgassing and AL-X was not tacky enough so they down selected BCB.
For a capping insulation layer they examined: (1) conformal encapsulation by CVD low temp oxide; (2) thin conformal encapsulation by spin or spray coated polymeric films; and (3) thicker planarizing encapsulation using spin on polymers. The best solutions were found to be: (a) 200-240 C LTO in combination with the BCB adhesive layer, or (b) spray coating of positive, photo WPR 5100 from JSR. JSR thick resist THB151N was used to make contact from the top to the bottom chip.
For all the latest on 3DIC and advanced packaging stay linked to IFTLE………………..

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Despite a strong second set, the No. 13 UC Santa Barbara men's volleyball team was defeated in Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) play Thursday, losing 3-1 against fifth-ranked USC at the Galen Center. Scores went 30-20, 21-30, 30-25, and 30-18 as the Trojan victory tied the all-time series between the two teams at 45-45.
Jeff Menzel led UCSB (4-10, 2-9 MPSF) in kills with a match high 24 while adding eight digs and three blocks. Cullen Irons had 10 kills and libero Andy McGuire had a match-high 12 digs. The Gauchos had a rough night offensively, hitting just .147 and getting out-blocked 14.5 to 5. They did come alive in the second set, hitting .516 with three errors in 19 attacks. Middles Scott Slaughter and Sam Moisenco each hit a lackluster .167 on the night.
Four players hit in double figures for USC (11-3, 8-2 MPSF). Tony Ciarelli (19), Sean Dennis (15), Austin Zahn (13), and Troy Murphy (11) combined for 58 kills. Riley McKibbin had seven blocks and Dennis led the Trojans defensively with 11 digs.
The Gauchos, who have played just four of their 14 matches away from home, remain on the road to play at top-ranked Pepperdine on Feb. 28 and at Hawai'i on Mar. 5 and Mar. 6. It is the longest road swing for the team this season.
The next home match will be a non-conference tilt against George Mason on Mar. 11 (7 p.m.). Tickets are available online through Ticket Return, by calling the Athletics Ticket Office at (805) 893-UCSB, or by visiting the ticket office in the Intercollegiate Athletics building on campus.
**UCSB - a nationally recognized university in both academic and athletic excellence - is located on the central coast of California in a picturesque campus and community setting on the Pacific Ocean. Each year over 450 NCAA Division I Gaucho student-athletes compete for national championships, succeed in the classroom, and give back to the community.**

Pre-Professional Dance
The Pre-Professional Dance program is designed for any gifted student 16 years or older who would like to prepare for a career as a professional dancer or as a musical theatre performer. Pre-professional students will attend ballet, jazz and pointe classes at Point Park University from Monday through Friday. Students must be at least at an intermediate level to participate. Students in high school must receive written permission from the student's high school principal or guidance counselor to attend the program should they require an early release.
Program Guide : Some pre-professional students attend their regular high school classes in the morning and travel to Point Park University for ballet and jazz classes in the afternoon and evening. Attendance is recorded and a letter grade is sent to the student's guidance counselor to replace the grade for any high school electives substituted for the Pre-Professional classes attended.

My husband, Desi, was the first man I fell deeply in love with. To date, and many, many years later, he still is, to me, the most perfect man.
Sure, we have our shares of ups and downs. But if I was to do it all over again, I don't think I'd change a thing.
I think part of the magic is not just that we are so different that we complement each other, but that we are so similar, we have this wonderful, maybe even boring, harmony that keeps us in sync.
We literally complete each other's thoughts and sentences. We love mostly the same movies (except he's unnaturally obsessed with documentaries. I like them, but in moderation). We like to travel, together. We like animals: in fact, and this could be hard to believe, but he loves them more than I do.
Over the years, our home has played host to every kind of creature, including a chick that he once brought into our one-bedroom apartment in Bombay. She would run all around the house dispensing chalky-white poop everywhere. He named her Chikni, which, translated from Hindi slang, means a good-looking girl.
There was an injured pigeon, who died despite days of fussing by Desi. A large number of stray cats and dogs rescued from the streets. He has even rescued a mouse or two caught by our hyperactive cat Pubm, before she could kill it.
Of course, we are not alike in every way. He is (and I hate to admit this, but it's true) wittier, smarter, and more tolerant than I am. He is also not a vegan, and you can rest assured it's not because of lack of trying on my part.
When I went vegan, I stopped cooking some of the dishes I made that Desi loved. But he was really supportive because he knew it meant a lot to me to be able to do what I believed was ethically right.
So sometimes, I work a little harder to try and recreate, with vegan ingredients, those dishes that he once enjoyed so much. This "lamb" curry, made with soy nuggets or textured vegetable protein, is such a dish. The textured nuggets contrast beautifully with the cauliflower florets cooked to melt-in-the-mouth tenderness.
I serve this spicy curry, which is much healthier than its meaty counterpart could ever hope to be, with creamy mashed potatoes. I can't think of two flavors that go together better.
I am sending this perfect combination to two very special Valentine's Day events: Vegetable Love at the Fat-Free Vegan Kitchen, and Made For Each Other at Asvadha.
I'm also sending this to Mythreyee who's hosting JFI: Cauliflower on her blog, Paajaka. JFI, of Jihva for Ingredients, was originally started by Indira of Mahanandi.
Thank you, folks, for hosting these lovely events.
And thank you, Desi, my love, for being my inspiration.
Lamb and Cauliflower Curry
- 2 cups of TVP chunks (about 1/2-inch square). Soak the chunks in boiling hot water about 1 hour.
- 1 tbsp canola or other vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion , thinly sliced
- 1- inch piece ginger , grated
- 5 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 small cauliflower , separated into florets
- 2 tomatoes , diced
- 1 tbsp garam masala
- 1 tbsp coriander-seed powder
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp red chilli powder
- Juice of 1 lemon
- About 1/2 cup of coriander leaves , minced
- Salt to taste
- Heat the oil.
- Saute the onions until they start to brown. Add the ginger and garlic and stir for a minute.
- Add the tomatoes, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander seed powder, cumin powder and turmeric. Stir together to mix, and allow the tomatoes to cook on medium heat until they start expressing the oil, about five minutes.
- Add the cauliflower and the TVP nuggets. Mix together.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and let the curry simmer about 20-30 minutes.
- Add the lemon juice, sprinkle with coriander leaves, and serve hot with some crusty bread or rice.
Creamy Mashed Potatoes
- 5 nedium Yukon Gold potatoes (I cook these in the microwave by stabbing the potatoes a few times with a knife, then putting them in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover the potatoes with just enough water and nuke about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are perfectly tender.)
- 1/2 cup soy milk
- 1 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp soy "butter" like Earth Balance
- Salt to taste
- Mash the boiled potatoes with a potato masher. I don't peel the potatoes because the skins are good for you, and I love them in this rustic dish.
- Add the soy milk, "butter", pepper and salt. Mix together until everything's just combined.
- You can add some roasted garlic to this, or replace the soy butter with olive oil for other, interesting flavors.
- Enjoy, everyone!

Are you ready to dress like a chicken for a free piece of poultry? Pollo Campero is celebrating National Chicken Month next week by encouraging guests to come to the Washington Avenue store dressed as chickens for an in-store promotion on Sept. 4.
But the part of the promotion worth clucking about is free chicken. Pollo Campero will give away a free traditional (fried) leg or thigh to customers at Houston-area stores on Sept. 4 from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. The stores offering free chicken include 4701 Washington, 5616 Bellaire, 6324 Texas Hwy. 6 in Missouri City, 702 W. Bay Area Blvd. in Webster and 557 South Mason in Katy.
Pollo Campero is planning to really get into the Chicken Month party mood at its Washington Avenue store that day by encouraging fans to come dressed as chickens. But it adds you don't need a chicken costume to receive the free chicken.

Hawks-Bruins is first Original Six Final since '79by Shawn P. Roarke / Chicago Blackhawks
The first Original Six Stanley Cup Final since 1979 is now a reality.
In 1979, the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers met in the Final with the Canadiens winning the last of four straight titles with a five-game victory.
Thirty-four years later, the Boston Bruins, who swept the top-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins to win the Eastern Conference title, and the Chicago Blackhawks, who knocked out the defending champion Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, renew their Original Six rivalry in the 2013 Stanley Cup Final. It's a meeting between two recent winners -- the Bruins won the Cup against the Vancouver Canucks in 2011, succeeding the Blackhawks, who defeated the Philadelphia Flyers in six games in 2010.
Game 1 is Wednesday at United Center in Chicago (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, RDS).
Despite being rivals since the inception of the League, the Bruins and Blackhawks do not have much of a postseason history. This will be the seventh time the teams have met in the playoffs, the first since a four-game sweep by Boston in the first round in 1978 that continued the Bruins' domination of the postseason meetings between the two teams.
The teams did not play each other during the 2012-13 regular season because of the truncated schedule caused by the lockout.
Chicago is the favorite coming out of the gate. The Blackhawks won the Presidents' Trophy as the NHL's best team, finishing 15 points ahead of Boston (77-62), which finished fourth in the East.
The teams have followed similar paths to reach the final checkpoint in the grueling marathon that is the march to the Stanley Cup. Each survived a seven-game scare -- Boston against the Toronto Maple Leafs in the first round; Chicago against the Detroit Red Wings in the second round -- but otherwise dominated for the most part.
The finalists are very similar in construction. Each features a goalie playing at an elite level, a varied defense corps capable of playing both ends of the ice, and a deep fleet of forwards that features a potential game-changer on each line.
All in all, it appears to be a recipe for an unforgettable Stanley Cup Final.

Our powerful scent attracts at least two species of mosquitoes, according to a paper accepted for publication in the journal Trends in Parasitology. Understanding what it is about human odor that attracts these bugs could help prevent the spread of diseases such as malaria and yellow fever.
Lead author Renate Smallegange explained to Discovery News that "the microorganisms on our skin use the materials present on our skin and in our sweat for their own metabolism. The microorganisms convert non-volatile compounds into volatile compounds."
Smallegange, a Wageningen University entomologist, and colleagues Niels Verhulst and Willem Takken, analyzed data on the chemical structure of human sweat. They conclude that "sweat-associated human volatiles are probably the primary determinant factor in the host preference of anthropophilic mosquitoes." These insects can carry life-threatening diseases, such as dengue, yellow fever and malaria.
So far, the "recipe" for synthetic human sweat appears to contain a complex blend of carbon dioxide, ammonia, lactic acid, and seven other carboxylic acids. The latter "have a sweaty smell," Smallegange said. Mosquitoes are very attracted to this odorous concoction when scientists whip it up in the lab.

The 2011 quarterback draft class is led by Cam Newton, the Heisman Trophy-winning and national-championship QB. He has all the physical traits of a future star and deserves to be the top pick in the draft. I do worry about performance meeting expectations, which is a problem at the top of the draft. Sam Bradford's rookie season might add even more pressure to the issues that face Newton.
2011 NFL Draft preview
NFL.com's Bucky Brooks and Pat Kirwan took an in-depth, position-by-position look at the key players to follow in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Cornerbacks: Overview | Scouting | Chat
Safeties: Overview | Scouting | Chat
Blaine Gabbert appears to be the second quarterback on most lists and should also go early. He has the physical traits to play at a high level, but he will see tons of pressure from defenses even though he has escape skills. There are times on film when he just doesn't handle pressure well.
Jake Locker and Colin Kaepernick are very athletic quarterbacks who need to dial back on the run and win more from the pocket.
It looks like a number of teams are going to try and strike gold in the second round of this draft, and I expect four quarterbacks to come off the board early in Round 2. The safe second-round pick could be either Christian Ponder or Andy Dalton. Former NFL QB Don Strock took a real close look at these quarterbacks for me and he thinks Ponder is the guy with the skills to succeed.
Player with most upside
Locker is a terrific athlete and has similar skills to a young Steve Young. I have watched more film of him than any quarterback in the draft, and he has a chance to develop into a special player. He's raw and frustrating at times when he bails from the pocket, but most of his issues are mechanical. If he goes to a team that can sit him for a year and continue the coaching Steve Sarkisian started two years ago at Washington, he could be a steal.
Biggest boom-or-bust prospect
The NFL game is won through the air, and Ryan Mallett has the best arm in the draft. Mallett lacks escape skills and has to win with decision-making and a quick release. People are quick to point out Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and even Dan Marino all won that way, but many other "pocket" passers have failed. His off-the-field issues need to be resolved for his focus to remain strictly on football. I have interviewed him numerous times and believe there's a lot to work with, and he knows he has to win in the pocket. He's 6-foot-7 and others are quick to say that not many guys that tall have succeeded in the past. His coach at Arkansas, Bobby Petrino, put a lot on his shoulders with line calls, audibles and a tough coaching style. Mallett can attack the whole field with his arm, but defenses will aggressively go after him knowing he's a stationary target.

|» Draft Tracker: All quarterback prospects
My favorite sleeper
A sleeper is hard to identify in a world where every player is on the Internet and every prospect is discussed for months. No one is talking about Tyrod Taylor from Virginia Tech as a QB candidate, but rather a wide receiver, running back and return man. I interviewed him after watching the Florida State game when he threw three touchdowns. He is much more focused on being a quarterback, and his 44 career touchdown passes is four more than Gabbert and 18 more than Newton. Someone is going to give this guy a chance to take a snap. By the way, he also rushed for 2,200 yards and 23 touchdowns.
Player with most to prove
The quarterback drafted first usually has the most to prove, and that puts the spotlight on Newton. I have spent some time with him, and he has the skill sets to be the face of an organization. His issue is the lack of experience, even though he led Auburn to a national title.
Newton has only thrown 292 passes in Division 1 college football. The average for quarterbacks in a draft is much closer to 1,000 throws. Quick decision-making comes from repetition, and as Archie Manning once said to me, "That extra year of throwing in college games really helped Peyton and Eli."
Small-school prospect with a chance
Keep an eye on Nathan Enderle from Idaho. He has prototypical size at 6-4 and 240 pounds. He's a classic pocket passer with more than 10,000 passing yards and 74 touchdown passes. He needs a year or two on the practice squad, but there is plenty to like for a coach running a pro-style system.
Pat Devlin from Delaware -- the same school that produced Joe Flacco -- is also worth watching.
Debunking a myth
A "spread" QB will struggle in the NFL. Many teams are already using spread principles, and playing from the shotgun is more prevalent every year. There were more than 40 snaps out of the shotgun in the past two Super Bowls.
Teams with the greatest need
More teams need quarterbacks than there are answers in the draft. Probably seven of the teams selecting in the top 10 need to consider a quarterback in this draft: Carolina, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Arizona, San Francisco, Tennessee and Washington. A few will hope for a trade or a free-agent pickup at some point this spring, but for the rest of them, it's the draft. Minnesota, Miami and Seattle are also waiting for a QB to slip to them.

BOSTON, Mass. – Down by one with a 3-2 count, two outs, and bases loaded freshman Amanda Perry (Worcester, Mass.) crushed what became the game winning single into left field to lead softball to a 3-2 come-from-behind win in game two of the final regular season non-conference doubleheader with Brandeis University Sunday afternoon at the UMass Boston Softball Field.
With the two RBI, Perry set her third program record in less than a month as she became the single-season RBI leader with 37, following her two-run single in the seventh. The nightcap victory improved the Beacons overall record to 17-19, while Brandeis closed out their 2012 campaign with 23-16 mark. The Judges defeated UMass in game one by the final of 10-4.
Now that their regular season has come to a close, the Beacons will now look to this Thursday and the first game of the 2012 Little East Conference tournament. Despite the conference sweep yesterday afternoon by Western Connecticut State University, UMass clinched the sixth seed in this year's tournament after Western swept Southern Maine in their final conference twinbill of the regular season.
The Beacons are now slated to face defending conference champions and the number one seed Eastern Connecticut State University Warriors. The two teams will face each other on Thursday at noon at the Eastern Connecticut State University Softball Complex in Mansfield, Connecticut. Thursday's appearance will mark the first time in program history that the Beacons have qualified for the Little East Conference tournament in back-to-back seasons.
In game one of Sunday's doubleheader Samantha Hemstock (Northford, Conn.) led the Beacons at the plate with 2-for-3 showing, which included two RBI and a run scored. Perry notched her seventh triple of the season in the top of the sixth, and then reached home plate in that same inning on an RBI single from Jaci Goodwin (Melrose, Mass.). Proving to be the downfall of UMass in game one were their six errors, which allowed the Judges to jump out to an early 5-0 lead through the third. They would score one more run in the fourth, before the Beacons started to mount their first comeback of the day.
UMass got on to the scoreboard in the fifth with three runs, then they added one more in the sixth to make it just a two-run ball game. Unfortunately, the Judges would score four runs in the top half of the seventh to retake control of the game and seal the game one victory.
Game two saw Brandeis jump out to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first. However unlike game one the Beacons defense was solid all afternoon, not allowing a single error in the contest. After a scoreless second and top of the third, UMass got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the third when Natalia Bouyea (East Longmeadow, Mass.) stole home, after Perry distracted the Judges at first base.
The 1-1 draw would last just one inning as the Judges retook the lead in the top of the fifth on an RBI single. Freshman pitcher Michelle Zullo (Everett, Mass.), who had four strikeouts on the afternoon, would not allow another run and would get out of two jams in the sixth and seventh innings, giving the Beacons the window they needed to for the walk-off win in the bottom of the final inning.
The inning got off to a great start for UMass as Lauren Perra (Taunton, Mass.) reached first on an error by the shortstop. She would then move to second after Toni Scola (Worcester, Mass.) laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt. Goodwin's first single of the game moved Perra to third, while she represented the game winning run. The Beacons then loaded the bases after Maria Nasta (Andover, Mass.) walked after a very long 3-2 battle with pitcher Melissa Nolan.
Now with Perry at the plate the Beacons knew all she had to do was make contact and that would at-least score the tying run. However they got more than they asked for as the freshman crushed a line drive in the left field gap which scored both Perra and Scola.
The victory was extra special as the win marked the final victory at the UMass Boston Softball Field for the four senior members, who were honored following the conclusion of game two. Making-up the class of 2012 was Goodwin, Nasta, Kara Willis (Burrillville, R.I.), and Lisa Polsonetti (Revere, Mass.).

It was only a matter of time before someone tried to cross-pollinate hand weights with yoga poses. After all, people love the stretched artistry of yoga, but they want to be toned, too. The result is not yoga in the deep spiritual tradition, but it is a great way to exercise: slow, gentle, and challenging.
A nationally ranked triathlete, Anthony Carillo was drawn to yoga's calming and centering benefits to complement his grueling ironman regimen. He found a natural synergy between yoga and weights. "I was standing in Warrior II and could feel my legs burning as I got deeper into the lunge," he says. "I wondered how I could get a workout for my arms and shoulders at the same time." The answer: small hand weights. "Combining the two can completely integrate your mind, body, and breath," he says. "Yoga helps you reduce stress, increase flexibility, and improve range of motion, while strength training fires up your metabolism, increases lean muscle mass, and builds strong bones." Carillo created the following routine for Body+Soul from his book, "Iron Yoga."
Mountain Pose with Dumbbells Over Heart
Half Moon with Weights
Eagle Pose with Fly and Triceps Extension
Side Angle Lunge with Concentration Curl
Builds strength, increases flexibility, enhances focus, improves core stability, and calms and centers
Iron-Yoga Tips
Use Light Weights
A pair of 2- to 5-pound dumbbells is fine.
Practice Yogic Breathing
Breathe through your nose, inhaling slowly for four to five counts, allowing your belly and chest to expand. Exhale for five counts. "The goal is to coordinate your breath with each movement. The deeper you breathe, the more you are able to engage and stabilize your core" says Bonnie Herbert, Iron Yoga instructor and model for this story.
Challenge Yourself
On the last repetition of each move, hold the position for a complete inhalation and exhalation while squeezing and contracting the muscles you're using. This "static contraction" helps tone and firm your muscles faster.
Listen to Your Joints
Although it's normal to feel the burn of muscles working hard, you should never feel pain or discomfort in your joints. If you do, stop.
Ask Your Doctor
Always talk with your health-care practitioner before beginning this or any new exercise regimen.

My favorite part was when the lady took the spider outside and put it in another head of lettuce, because the lady didn?t kill the spider. It made me feel sad for the spider when the lady was walking by the spider?s den because it felt like an earthquake to the spider.

Complete guide to LPN to BSN programs in Alabama and online LPN to BSN programs currently available to Alabama nursing students.
If you are a practical nurse in Alabama and you are looking to advance your career while remaining in the nursing profession an LPN to BSN degree program might suit your needs. Completing an LPN-BSN program will enable you to become a licensed Registered Nurse and earn a higher salary. The average salary for an LPN in the U.S. is around $46,000 per year, while the average RN salary is approximately $78,000 per year. This results in a 67% salary increase when going from being an LPN to an RN. Exact salary figures will differ depending on a number of factors including which Alabama city that you work in.
In addition to the financial benefits, registered nurses in Alabama who have their BSN degree have a significant advantage over other RNs with lesser educational qualifications. This makes it much easier to secure the RN job of your choice once you have your degree.
Another advantage of becoming an RN in Alabama is that you are able to take on greater job responsibilities, including management positions in charge of supervising other nurses. This can be a rewarding career move and add some variety to your current position.
Alabama LPN to BSN Schools
There are currently no campus-based schools in Alabama that offer an accredited LPN to BSN degree program. However, there are accredited online schools with LPN to BSN programs available to Alabama residents.

I spent the last two days figuring out exactly how the Thunderbird new email notifications work. My goal was to listen in new Emails for a specific header and then run a specific task. Before I go into details a general note on this first. Please be careful when doing this and be even more careful when passing that header value to your code. The code processing the new mail is privileged and the header value should be treated as unsafe. In the best case this could cause a DoS type attack on your extension, in the worst case attackers could use it to control the user's Thunderbird.
When I started on this I though it would be easy, a matter of hours. I started with a simple message filter listener, which is what I found on the internet first:
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/mailServices.js"); Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/iteratorUtils.jsm"); Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm"); const CUSTOM_HEADER_NAME = "x-my-custom-header"; let listener = { QueryInterface: XPCOMUtils.generateQI([Components.interfaces.nsIMsgFolderListener]), msgsClassified: function(aMsgs, aJunkProcessed, aTraitProcessed) { for each (let msg in fixIterator(aMsgs.enumerate(), Components.interfaces.nsIMsgDBHdr))) { if (msg.getProperty(CUSTOM_HEADER_NAME)) { // do something } } } // other nsIMsgFolderListener methods ommitted for brevity }); function setupListener(listener) { const mfn = Components.interfaces.nsIMsgFolderNotificationService; MailServices.mfn.addListener(listener, mfn.msgsClassified); }
The problem that took me a while to figure out is that the "do something" block is never called. Until I found the actual soltuion, I tried different things like using a pure nsIFolderListener or creating a temporary message filter that takes care. I was convinced that the header values were just not parsed into the nsIMsgDBHdr yet. The reason for this was a very misleading comment in the nsIMsgDBHdr interface. But without some extra code, x-my-custom-header is never added to the properties of the nsIMsgDBHdr. This is done on purpose to keep the database small.
To make it work, we just need to set an extra pref:
let customHeaders = Services.prefs.getCharPref("mailnews.customDBHeaders").split(" "); if (customHeaders.indexOf(CUSTOM_HEADER_NAME) < 0) { customHeaders.push(CUSTOM_HEADER_NAME); Services.prefs.setCharPref("mailnews.customDBHeaders", customHeaders.join(" ").trim()); }
I hope this saves you a few hours of digging. I certainly would have hoped to find a guide like this, but then again maybe I was looking at the wrong place with the wrong terms.

Rapper and TV star Ice-T and his wife, Coco Austin, are making plans for a baby.
The couple is hoping to become parents once Austin's stint as the star of Las Vegas' burlesque revue "Peepshow" is over – she's filling in for mom-to-be Holly Madison.
The busty blonde tells In Touch magazine, "I want a little girl! We already have the name – Chanel. I want her to be a lawyer!
"I want a little doll of my own! I could teach her to walk in heels and do her hair."
And her husband is convinced she'll be a great mother, adding, "She will be the best."
Ice-T has two children from previous relationships.

Nature Notes: The Pushes and Pulls
I've been hatching out Salt Lake brine shrimp eggs in local seawater for a year and a half. At room temperature, they hatch out into swimming in two days and at about a tenth of a millimeter in length they are barely visible to the naked eye. They are called "nauplii" and are orangish. I feed them to mosquitofish, which I keep in aquariums. I raise a few to adulthood in Rubbermaid totes set on my patio filled with seawater. Their scientific name, Artemia salina, says it all, they tolerate and breed in water of very high salinity.
It is easy to gather the young from the pans in which they hatched. They move to spots with the most light, either incadescent light or sunlight, leaving the empty egg casts behind. Animal behaviorists would describe them as phototactic, meaning they are attracted to light and move toward light. Larvae of some marine invertebrates move away from light; they are said to be photophobic. Some fish are thermotactic, they move to areas of warm water such as the cooling waters emanating from nuclear power plants situated next to large bodies of water such as the Long Island Sound.
Almost all green plants are phototrophic, they grow toward the light, away from the dark. Many lianas such as Virginia creeper, fox grape, and bittersweet are phototrophic to the degree of following the sun around as it moves from east to west relative to the earth; thus they curl upward around tree trunks, following the sun as they go. Some trees in dense stands, such as Douglass firs, actually twist their trunks in the direction of the sun. Does it make them more resistant to strong winds?
Most plants are also negatively geotrophic, or geophobic. They grow against gravity, while their roots are geotrophic, they grow down. What would green plants do on the moon, where there is very little gravity? They would all be bonsai-ed, no doubt.
It's an either-or world. You either are or you aren't. Some people are agoraphobic: They don't like to be in crowds. I would never make it through more than a few minutes of waiting for the ball to drop in Times Square on New Year's Eve. I am also claustrophobic, which is similar to agoraphobic; I can't go into an M.R.I. machine headfirst. When I was in the Army and was loaded onto the back of a semienclosed truck with about 20 others tightly packed, I had to fight my way to the very back of the truck bed or I would have started screaming. Maybe that's why I and many others would rather walk alone in the outback or stand by ourselves at the foot of the ocean.
Many spiders and other insects, invertebrates, and even some mammals are thigmotactic. They are drawn to spots where their bodies come into multiple contact with different surfaces such as between pieces of wood and the bare earth below. In such cases the organisms are both thigmotactic and negatively phototrophic. Which force is strongest is a matter for scientists. You often find spiders, especially daddy longlegs, in corners where two walls meet the ceiling—three surfaces—the perfect spot to put down their threads and wait for prey, especially prey that is equally thigmotactic.
Many humans, including myself, sleep with their knees drawn up and their upper bodies curved toward their knees in the so-called fetal position. Still others, like me, will close their hands tightly while they sleep, or have one or both hands touching the face, maximizing the touch factor. My daughter-in-law and her son, my grandson, both sleep with one hand pressed against the side of the head, cupping it, so to speak, just as I do. Genetic or not, it is not an uncommon trait. I suppose a psychiatrist could explain the fact that I am both claustrophobic and thigmotactic; the two tendencies would seem to counter one another.
All living things, including plants, have some kind of push-me-pull-me set of reactions to different stimuli, whether they be sound, light, odor, or other. There are now seven billion of us humans; if we were all agoratactic to the Nth degree, we would crush one another in a compact mass the way dark stars do. Ouch! Every day one reads in the newspapers or on the Internet about instances of humans trampling one another fleeing from a fire or even trying to get into a rock concert or soccer. On the African veldt or Western prairie they call such actions "stampedes." Such attraction-avoidance behavior can simultaneously have both survival and anti-survival value.
I'm sure the reader has noticed that on the Long Island Expressway or Los Angeles freeways some people hug closely to your rear end to the degree that they are almost touching it, say, as the professional racecar drivers do on the speedway. It even happens on local roads like Route 114. Agorataxis or not, I find it extremely unbecoming, if not frightening.
In the final analysis, we are not so different from the rest of the fauna, minute or large, sedentary or locomotory. We have this or that tropism or taxis, we respond to this or that stimulus in this or that way. If, indeed, we among all the billions and billions of the others have free will as many philosophers and psychologists contend, we manifest it despite the omnipresent pulls to and pushes from the thousands of collective stimuli acting in any one moment. It's almost too much to ponder. I can only sit and wonder.

Ubi Soft introduces cel-shading to the First-Person Shooter genre with the unique, politically-charged XIII. Discover the secrets of the conspiracy-rich plot and find out the mysterious connection between your shrouded past, and the President's assassination. Become a master of both stealth infiltration and weapons-based combat in order to survive a relentless slew of enemies. Strategically switch between silent weapons such as the deadly crossbow, or distance and power weapons like the sniper rifle and machine gun. Immerse yourself in an epic conspiracy story with a visual style straight from the pages of a comic book.
Roman numerals got you perplexed? We can help.
Aesthetics can get a title pretty far in the video game industry. But graphical tricks stand the chance of becoming clich¿d gimmicks as quickly as tired gameplay mechanics. When Ubisoft announced that it would release the first cel-shaded first-person shooter, skeptics were quick to insult the company's apparent hop onto the bandwagon. But as people were shown more of the game, the dismay turned to intrigue. Could a first-person shooter really feel like a live-action comic book? It was looking hopeful, especially after an extremely positive showing at ECTS where it won both Best Console Game of Show and Best Overall Game of Show. But with the finished product sitting inside my console, I can tell you that it doesn't quite live up to the hype. Read More »
It's almost amazing that XIII has created such a buzz. Its source material, a popular French comic book that's been running since 1984, is not exactly a household name in the United States. Plus, it's a first person shooter a saturated genre that has to work harder and harder to impress increasingly jaded gamers. Nonetheless, the buzz is here and it's strong. And it may well be deserved. If the gameplay and story are as well executed as the much vaunted look, XIII could find legions of U.S. patriots who find a new respect for the recently reviled French. Ah, nationalism. How we love thee. Read More »
WHILE WE'VE SEEN Ubi Soft's conspiracy-themed XIII a number of times, the publisher had been pretty secretive with info regarding the game's multiplayer offerings until just recently. For the full scoop, we infiltrated Ubi HQ for some exclusive hands-on multiplayer testing, and also left with a new preview version featuring a few single-player levels we hadn't seen before. Read More »
If you're a GameSpy regular, you're probably familiar with Ubi Soft's upcoming first-person shooter, XIII. It's received plenty of press from numerous publications, and as it gets closer to releasing (tentatively in November of this year), gamers will soon get to see what the buzz is all about. A single-player demo should be available around the middle of August, with a multiplayer demo following a few weeks later. At the recent CPL event in Dallas this past weekend, however, I had the opportunity to sit down with a "final alpha" version of the game, and it's shaping up quite well. ("Final alpha," for those wondering, typically means a game is feature complete, but not necessarily fully debugged and optimized. That's what the "beta" stage is for.) Read More »

A grill man turned chief executive at McDonald's, Fred L. Turner oversaw an aggressive expansion of the company beginning in the 1970s that turned it into a corporate giant.
When he began reshaping the restaurants in 1968, he left a visible legacy by removing the signature golden arches from the building's architecture and placing them on signs out front.
What McDonald's founder Ray Kroc called Turner's gift for "planning and vision" is reflected in a restaurant menu that includes the Quarter-Pounder, which he co-developed with a California franchise owner in 1971. He also oversaw the introduction of such standards as the Chicken McNugget, the Egg McMuffin and the Happy Meal.
Turner, who was one of McDonald's first employees and served as its chief executive from 1974 to 1987, died Monday of complications from pneumonia, McDonald's announced. He was 80.
"Fred was a true pioneer and shaped the quick service restaurant industry," Andy McKenna, chairman of McDonald's board, said in a statement.
In 1956, Turner was a college dropout who had completed a two-year stint in the Army when he answered an ad offering franchises for a new fast-food chain, McDonald's.
"He was little more than a kid, 23 years old. He had a baby face and the most infectious grin I'd seen in years," Kroc wrote in his 1977 autobiography "Grinding It Out."
While searching for a site to open a franchise, Turner worked the counter at what was then Kroc's only McDonald's, in Des Plaines, Ill. Soon hired by the corporation, he oversaw operations and training — and became Kroc's protege.
From the outset, Turner "attempted to turn the task of running a restaurant from an art to a science," according to the 2011 book "Essentials of Strategic Management."
In 1958, he wrote McDonald's original operating and training manual. A version of it is still used, the company said.
The manual included general operations advice and gave explicit instructions on food preparation, such as how to cut French fries (no thicker than 0.28 inches) or how many patties to place on the grill (no more than six).
In the basement of a McDonald's in Elk Grove Village, Ill., Turner spearheaded the company training program known as Hamburger University. Since 1961, 275,000 people have "graduated" from the program. The campus at company headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill., was named the Fred L. Turner Center in 2004.
When Advertising Age named him the Adman of the Decade in 1990, the magazine said that under his leadership, McDonald's had been "a quiet pioneer" of marketing.
Major examples included a groundbreaking move in sports marketing, McDonald's Olympic Swim Stadium, built for the 1984 Games in Los Angeles; and the creation of Ronald McDonald's Children's Charities, established after Kroc's death in 1984 and considered a model for corporate community involvement.
Although Kroc did not have a son, he often claimed he did. "His name is Fred Turner," Kroc wrote in 1977. "He has never disappointed me."
Fred Leo Turner was born Jan. 6, 1933, in Des Moines, Iowa.
While at Drake University, he met his future wife, Patty, a fellow student and musician. His wife died in 2000. Survivors include three daughters, Paula, Patty Sue and Teri; and eight grandchildren.
Turner gave $1.5 million to Drake to build a jazz center and $1 million to endow a professorship in jazz studies.
Within a dozen years of joining McDonald's, Turner was president and chief administrative officer, and succeeded Kroc as chief executive in 1973. He served as chairman of the board of the company from 1977 to 1990.
Called out of retirement in 2003 to help McDonald's restore the classic taste to some of its foods, he recognized that the Big Mac's "secret sauce" had lost its zing. Learning that the original recipe had been lost, he got the recipe from the supplier in California who had helped develop it and resurrected the sauce's kick.

Is it a problem keeping the down insulated peapod dry on a long trip in rain/fog etc? Any suggestions/tricks?
Is it a problem keeping the down insulated peapod dry on a long trip in rain/fog etc? Any suggestions/tricks?
FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.
I have used a 1.7 ripstop hammock sock to keep myself dry from fog and mist. There is some condensation inside the hammock sock if you do not ventilate it properly.
I also hang a sponge over my head in the hammock sock to absorb all the condensation which comes out of my mouth when I breath. It seems to work.
If you sleep inside the PeaPod, like I do, then you should consider opening a small vent hole in the velcro above your chest, and another small one as far up above your head as you can reach. That will make for a chimney, which will carry out your moisture laden breath.

I used the peapod 6 nights straight in constant rainy weather. Even when I went to bed damp, i woke up dry. The moisure from rain and mist didn't seem to decrease the loft either. Having said that, the loft is crazy to begin with.
Use a nice big tarp and I'm sure it'll be fine. And obviously be fastidious when packing it into a dry bag that it never touches the ground.
WARNING: Will discuss Rhurbarb Strawberry Pie and Livermush at random.

"We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately." - Ben Franklin
I'm pretty sure that the biggest problem is packing up wet, so a means of drying it off before packing should be available, especially on longer trips. Shaking water/frost off, or using a pack towel, something. Though I have lost no loft so far on trips as long as a week with no "drying off" used. Then again, though it was wet outside the tarp, I never noticed any moisture on the shell, but I may well have that problem on another trip.
I now have two Pea Pods (both I bought on discount ) and every time moisture condenses on their shells it evaporates if I do not wipe it off with a towel. I always use a hammock sock and that sometimes increases the possibility of condensation if you do not hang a sponge over your head to absorb the moisture of ones breath or vent the sock to let air flow through and cool you.

AFF Development Task List
From ForensicsWiki
High Priority
- Create man pages and/or documentation for AFF library functions (e.g. af_open, af_get_imagesize)
- Build library as a shared library using libtool. This will allow developers using the library to just link to the AFF. Without it, developers must link to the static library and the individual libraries necessary on that machine. There is no good way to determine those extra libraries.
Medium Priority
- How about renaming the library to libaff? That would allow developers to link with -laff instead of -lafflib. To my knowledge, there is no existing library named AFF already.
Low Priority
- Add library function to open standard input. Perhaps:
AFFILE * af_open_stdin(void);

NFL Stadiums Could Get Laser First-Down Markers
NFL fans could see laser first-down markers like those currently visible on television broadcasts also used in stadiums in the future. (Insert bad Dr. Evil impression saying "lasers" here) The First Down Laser System, developed by Alan Amron and underwritten by former player and broadcaster Pat Summerall, projects a first-down line across the width of the football field that would be visible to fans inside the stadium, as well as those watching the broadcast.
Here's a brief clip of what the First Down Laser System looks like in use:
Amron has twice met with league officials to get feedback on his laser technology. The league is not ready to implement the laser at this time.
"They tell me it took them years and years to implement replay and the overhead cam. The NFL right now has made it very clear to us that they didn't want to eliminate the chains, but augmenting them wouldn't be a bad idea," Amron said.
A separate technology, first used on NFL broadcasts in 1998, is used to generate and display first down lines during televised games.
If the NFL does begin using the lasers inside stadiums, it will join other sports leagues around the world which have augmented human officiating with technology. Several tennis organizations use an electronic eye of horizontal light beams to determine exactly where a ball hits on the court. Some international cricket matches also use technology to make officiating decisions.

Recently, I needed to create a bootable i386 image. The easiest way was to build one on my amd64. Here's what I did. I setup my environment for the build (steps 1-3), built FreeBSD/i386 userland and kernel (steps 4 and 5), prepared the flash (steps 6-11), installed userland and the kernel (steps 12 and 13), added the extra files needed for boot (steps 14-18). The detailed commands follow:
- setenv MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX /blah
- setenv TARGET i386
- setenv TARGET_ARCH i386
- make buildworld
- make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
- fdisk -I da0
- fdisk -B da0
- bsdlabel -w da0s1 auto
- bsdlabel -B da0s1
- newfs /dev/da0s1a
- mount /dev/da0s1a /mnt
- make installworld DESTDIR=/mnt
- make installkernel DESTDIR=/mnt KERNCONF=GENERIC INSTALL_NODEBUG=t
- make distrib-dirs DESTDIR=/mnt
- make distribution DESTDIR=/mnt
- echo /dev/da0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 > /mnt/etc/fstab
- echo ifconfig_DEFAULT=DHCP > /mnt/etc/rc.conf
- echo hostname=demo >> /mnt/etc/rc.conf
I put all this on an SD card and inserted that into an usb adapater and booted the laptop with it. FreeBSD's base system isn't too big these days, only 205MB for a full system.
% df /mnt
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a 484822 205570 240468 46% /mnt
This can easily be trimmed, but with a 512MB SD card for $5 at Office Max, there's little point in trimming for the project I needed the flash for. I just needed something that I could boot to transition my FreeBSD/amd64 laptop to a FreeBSD/i386 laptop.
If one needed to reduce the amount of space used by an installation, then there's a number of options than can be used to reduce the footprint of the system. In my experience, it is best to build everything without these options, then use the WITHOUT_* options on the installworld step to keep the image size down. It is easy to cut FreeBSD's footprint in half with these options. In addition, the kernel is 28MB with all its modules, and this can easily be reduced below 5MB in most cases.
nanobsd can be used to automate this process, as can TinyBSD. I'll save for another column the techniques I have used in the past to reach 16MB.

Gov. Rick Snyder has appointed Joseph F. Burke to the 15th District Court in Washtenaw County. The appointment fills the vacancy created by the resignation of Judge Julie Creal.
"Joe Burke has served Washtenaw County as an assistant prosecuting attorney for over 20 years," Snyder said in a statement. "I am confident that he will continue his dedication and hard work for the community in this new role."
Burke, of Ann Arbor, began his legal career as an assistant prosecuting attorney for Washtenaw County in 1982. He then went into private practice in 1986 as a partner at Burke & Rennell, PC. In 1993, he returned to the Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office as the chief assistant prosecuting attorney, where he has remained until present.
Burke graduated from Howell High School. He furthered his education at Michigan State University, earning a bachelor's degree, and then at Thomas M. Cooley Law School, where he earned his law degree. Burke is married to Marilyn A. Eisenbraun.
Burke will serve the remainder of Creal's term through Jan. 1, 2013. He will need to stand for election in November of 2012.
