The world of credit scoring is not unlike the world of smartphones. Every few years competing developers come out with their latest and greatest credit scoring models, which are supposedly better at their job than any and all predecessors and rivals.
Most of the time when a new scoring model is announced it's greeted with the same level of excitement as when your in-laws show up.
Not so much last week. Last week VantageScore Solutions, which is FICO's primary rival in the credit score space, announced the 3rd generation of their credit score, the VantageScore Score 3.0.
The score contains several unique and consumer friendly features including:
Natural Disaster Protection Logic
If you live in an area that has been hit hard by a natural disaster, such as Hurricanes Katrina or Sandy, and you are unable to maintain your credit payments, your credit report can become polluted with late payments.
Your lenders, who still want to get paid regardless, can note on the account of your credit reports that you're being impacted by a natural disaster.
If VantageScore's new model sees that notation, which is called a "narrative code", their score will ignore any negative aspect of the account. This means you can focus on getting your life back in order and not on your credit score.
More Lenient Minimum Scoring Criteria
Most people don't know that your credit report has to qualify to be scored. Different scoring systems have different minimum standards that must be met in order to score your credit file.
FICO, for example, requires that your credit reports have at least one undisputed account that is older than 6 months and at least one undisputed account that has been updated in the past 6 months.
If you don't meet those two criteria then your credit report cannot be scored by a FICO scoring model.
The new VantageScore model has much more liberal criteria and can now score between 27 and 30 million more credit reports that were previously unscoreable by their older models.
To put that in perspective…that's larger than the population of Texas.
It's always better to have a score than it is to not have a score. No score means less access to competitively priced credit from mainstream lenders.
$0 Dollar Collections Are Ignored
This is a big deal. Collections, paid or unpaid, remain on credit reports for seven years and can negatively impact your score the entire time.
What that means is at any given time there are seven years of collection vintages on consumer credit files, which means millions of consumers have paid and unpaid collections at any point in time.
The new VantageScore score will ignore all collections that have a $0 balance. That means if you pay or settle a collection, and it is subsequently updated to show the $0 balance, your VantageScore could go up, and go up considerably.
Several bills have been introduced that have attempted to accomplish this exact thing but went about it a different way by trying to mandate the removal of paid collections from credit reports.
New Score Range
The score range, formally referred to as "scaling", of a FICO score is 300 to 850. In fact, we've never known any other score range other than 300 to 850. Since 1989 when FICO rolled out its first credit bureau score with Equifax 300 to 850 has been the industry standard range.
VantageScore's old score range was 501 to 990, which was confusing to consumers because the numbers didn't line up and even when there was overlap the numbers didn't mean the same thing. A FICO score of 800 does not mean the same thing as a VantageScore of 800.
VantageScore has changed the scaling of their newest score to mirror the FICO range, 300 to 850. That means consumers and lenders who use FICO and VantageScores don't have to worry as much about conversion issues across the two scores.
And while a FICO 800 is still not going to mean the same thing as a VantageScore 800, at least the interpretation will be closer and certainly less confusing for consumers.
The VantageScore score is still a distant second in market share to FICO's scores. However, many of the largest lenders across all industries are using it and, according to Experian, over 1,300 companies are getting a VantageScore from them.

During the summer, we spent a lot of time at the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) shopping for used work trucks. The first two we bought were nicknamed Jake and Elwood and served as an experiment for Car Craft and Chevy High Performance to see if they would respond to upgrades and function as reliable and inexpensive parts-chasers. We soon found that we could pick up 20 or 30 percent more power with basic bolt-ons. We also found that they look darn good with a decent paint job and they tend to start every day. So we bought a third. Once we saw the "Cone Zone" sticker on the bumper, its nickname suddenly seemed obvious. We'd like to introduce Cone Head. Join us as we help it earn some respect.
AdoptionMost municipalities are going to have a fleet of beaters to fix potholes and haul copiers to the courthouse, and that usually means there will be an auction to pawn off the older models. Cone Head was number four on the Caltrans auction list in Sacramento that included primarily '93 models and some '94s. We wanted the newest truck we could get for the cash, but we were outgunned on all the '94s and ended up with a '93 GMC Sierra in Government Orange with a TBI 305, a 4L60-E overdrive transmission, and air conditioning. We had checked Cone Head out earlier in the day and found no rust and a reasonably straight body. A couple of dents were OK, but we knew that fixing the engine is always cheaper than hiring a good body man, and we were willing to gamble that the drivetrain was serviced by the state on a regular basis. We bid knowing there was no guarantee that the engine wouldn't explode on the way out of the parking lot, but at least Coney would look good behind a tow truck.
Checking The BaselineThe big plan for Cone Head was to put a little heat in the engine with some basic parts and a tune-up, then maybe move it up one more notch with a cam and street-legal heads later on. Yes, we wanted a daily driver and parts-runner, but deep down we want a little snort under the black and blue pedicure to fend off the jackal bearing down on us in his espresso-injected Beemer.
All of that comes later. First we needed a baseline to build on. We rigged Cone Head for testing with a backpressure gauge that we plumbed into the exhaust using a welded bung and installed our Innovate Engineering air/fuel meter that we can't seem to live without these days. Brother Jake had a cat full of particles that had increased the exhaust backpressure about 11 psi, so we were pleased to find our pipes producing only 6. A quick inspection revealed that Cone Head had been treated to a new cat courtesy of Caltrans not too far in the past.
The first run on the dyno netted 122 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque. Doing the quick air-math, we figured that the quarter-mile e.t. on this truck would be around 20 seconds; no surprise there-it's stock. The O2 reading was 11.9:1-12.0:1, which was actually slightly rich compared to the average smog-legal California vehicle's 13:1 ideal, but overall everything looked good with lots of room for improvements.
Stepping It UpStill glowing from the freebie cat, we visited Muffler Time so our pal Rick Stout could bolt up some Flowmaster duals. The Caltrans cat was welded in place, forcing us to chop-saw the flange off of our pristine kit and weld the two ends together, making it no longer a bolt-on. We were still ahead of the game when you consider a good cat is $400.
We also wanted to add a chip from JET to maximize the fuel and timing curves and still be legal. The performance kit from JET also included underdrive pulleys and a throttle-body spacer. After a thorough scrubbing under the hood, we added the JET parts and performed a simple tune-up, tossing in some GMPP chrome valve covers to make it look like we'd been under there.
Back on the dyno, we immediately noticed an improved growl. The horsepower jumped to 146 and torque spiraled to 222 lb-ft. It was a 22-percent torque gain throughout the curve with all the power in the game by 4,000 rpm. The lowly 305 was only off Jake's 350ci base numbers by 22 hp and 7 lb-ft. The backpressure reading had also shrunk to 2 psi. Not too bad.
What Do You Want Us To Do With Cone Head?OK, so we'll admit we're maybe a little too giddy about 146 hp. The point is, with a little effort we got a big gain in performance and appearance, albeit on a smaller scale than a typical musclecar. We want to know what you think about Cone Head and what you want us to do from here. Is it full-on LS series swap with a 4L65-E? Or should we leave the 305 in there and try all the speed tricks we can think of? Should we drop it in a canyon? Let us in on it at carcraft.com. We're lurking there.

What others are saying about CareCalendar:
CareCalendar was the best tool imaginable for keeping all of our help organized after the quints were brought home.
- Danielle & Adam Busby
- Parents of quintuplets from the OutDaughtered TV show on TLC
Technology is making it easier for churches and other groups to meet the needs of families dealing with illness or the birth of a child.
- WORLD Magazine
I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and had surgery and chemo treatments. Care Calendar allowed my church, neighbors and friends to all get involved in helping us with meals, childcare, and mowing our lawn. Thank you for this invaluable tool that is touching many families.
- Amy
I love CareCalendar! It has made it so much easier to help our friends in need.
- Angie
I was diagnosed with Brain Cancer and had surgery to remove the tumor. A friend set up a CareCalendar where friends have gone to sign up to drive me to daily doctor's treatments (doctor ordered me not to drive) and to bring dinners to the house several days a week.
It has been a life-saver by taking all of that stress off of me and organizing the army of people that want to help.
Thank you for everything.
-- Christy
This is the most awesome tool to help someone that I have ever seen!
- Julie
I cannot begin to express what an amazing tool this is! No playing telephone tag, no sending separate reminders each day so that nothing slips a volunteer's mind, etc. Finally, what an awesome place to direct all of the well-meaning folks who respond with "let me know what I can do"! All groups - whether it be friends from work, church, neighbors, etc. - can all work from the same calendar so that there isn't overlap or gaps not filled.
After [a previous time consuming] experience, I was reluctant to coordinate such a army of volunteers again, but using Care Calendar has been an awesome blessing! Thank you so much for making this service available!
- Robin
Meals were provided for over 140 days and CareCalendar made it all possible. It gave us organization and efficiency ... Thanks for making such a great ministry tool!
- Carolyn
We recently discovered Care Calendar and we love it. It makes coordinating meals so quick and easy. Thank you so much for this free service.
- Krista
Thank you so much for [CareCalendar]. It is so exciting to see the results that we have gotten from it.
- Esther
"...fantastic, unique, innovative, effective, Christ-birthed idea!"
- Marilyn
I am all about doing things 'on the fly' when I get a chance and CareCalendar made it much easier to see at a glance what was already taken, what remained, and what fit in with our schedule."
- Jennifer
Our church started using Care Calendar a little over a year ago. This has been the best time saver for those of us that are coordinating meals for families. The best part is that the family can see the calendar too and there are usually no duplicates on meals!
- Amy
This is incredible. Thank you so very much for making it so easy to help a friend/co-worker in need. What a blessing!
- Brenda
[CareCalendar] has made helping others an absolute pleasure...the coordinator's job is now so simple!
- Becky
After having my baby, meals were brought to us every day for over two weeks. We appreciate you making this service available so we could put our time and energy into caring for our growing family.
- Faith
Before CareCalendar, a family would sometimes get several meals one day, and then several days that nobody would bring a meal. Now, after using CareCalendar for meal sign ups, we are much more organized and the receiving families are better cared for.
- Wendy
We created a meal schedule for a sick friend using Care Calendar. Online meal sign up was easy and our friends could look on the web site to see who was scheduled to bring them a meal, and what was on the menu. This is a great website for helping others!
- April

Unfortunately your training employees maybe saying all the right things in front of you and then injecting less than flattering remarks or "pregnant pauses" when you or your managers step away.
Because most employees use their jobs to accomplish other goals, they are less invested with you to begin with and don't value your business the way that you need them to. When these employees train new people they are quick to point out managerial and operational problems, highlighting everything that may be wrong with your business and sharing with the new employee that they are only at your business in order to get to their end goal, shaking the confidence of the new employee and changing his or her perception that this is not the best place to work.
It is a frustrating scenario for everyone involved and dealing with it myself for several years this is what I came up with and wrote for my fellow managers:
Try telling your hotel or retail employees (Or your entire restaurant FOH staff) "How you train new employees will directly impact your income and how hard you have to work every day. Would you like to correct fewer mistakes, enjoy a fun upbeat team environment, make twice as much money and have a more solid co-workers supporting you 100% of the time? It's all in how you train your new hires.
Training is everything and the more you train new hires to appreciate your restaurant, hotel or retail business, it's owner, managers and the existing team, the more you are actually training them to support you, make money FOR you and bolster you when you need help. If you train new employees that yours is an average business, restaurant or hotel with short comings, has short-tempered co-workers, short–sighted managers, bad staff meals, inconsistent or slow kitchen staff, inattentive or micromanaging owners or managers, and ignored equipment repairs, you will actually be doubling your own work load and you don't even know it. You will actually be training your new team to bring you down when you need to be brought up the most.
If you incorporate eye-rolling or sarcastic remarks in your training you are actually teaching any new hire to work less, feel unenthusiastic, sell less, create short-cuts, look for ways to create smoke or text breaks instead of keeping side-work, customers and sales flowing or ever helping you when you need it.
You will make less money and work harder, longer hours and leave with less energy and enthusiasm for your family and life goals when you train with indifference or disdain.
New hires will be less effective and less effective, less productive and actually cost you time and money when you highlight anything but the very best of the business. You actually control the mood, spirit and income of the entire restaurant or hotel when new employees are in your hands. You should not take this responsibility lightly.
Showing new hires the tricks to check your phone mid-shift, chew gum, be disrespectful to managers, slack off, "cheat the clock" or in restaurants: stand in front of a computer when you have no orders to put in instead of helping to run food or drinks or engage new guests in order to book future reservations speaks volumes to the person you are training and the people watching you. When your new co-workers do these things, they will find themselves in "hot-water," eventually let-go and you will have to start training someone new all over again which means twice as much work before you to get a team-member up and running and contributing equally. Attitude is everything and if you want the absolute most money (even if you only plan to be in this business for another week, train your new employees to appreciate all of the amazing things about your restaurant or hotel. Train them to constantly look for something to do, restock, run, clear, carry, double check or find customers to engage with and get new reservations from will directly create a path for you to be recognized and promoted, supported and thanked instead of watched, checked and micro-managed which is exhausting. Instead, create an environment of positiveness, support and more sales and your new co-worker will make you more money, give you more energy and more advancement plus guarantee you that you are always are welcome back should you ever decide to leave.
Leave the negativity, the side comments, eye-rolling, time stealing to people of less caliber who may just be on their way "out" but don't know it and focus on the new way people make more money: by being supportive, collaborative exciting one another and showing leadership skills to help create the absolute best and strongest team, workday and bank account. Isn't that what you want? To make the most money and have the most energy at the end of the day? Then train your new co-worker that this is the absolute best hotel, restaurant or retail store to work for, these are the best people to work with and the best people to work for. The systems that are in place here make it easy to make money, unlike many businesses, this is a well-oiled machine and when all the parts move together it creates amazing experiences, excitement, money, friendships and more customers plus feeds your future dreams. While other businesses come and go, try and fail, offer discounts and Groupons to get customers through the door, if you all work as a positive, polished, customer service focused team, you will never have to worry about looking for and training somewhere else. They can create an ever growing flow of repeat clientele by engaging customers to return, not taking short cuts, pitching and helping the team be better but that can only happen with your supportive, enthusiastic, high-caliber training. With your training they can create bigger spending, nicer, repeat, regular, effortless, fun customers for your team's entire future."
Tell your staff to train for the best, expect the best and be the best. How you do anything is how you do everything and training the people around you to create money, time and wealth for themselves and you is what the smart people do. Not so smart people create animosity, hardship and ill-will for themselves and the people around them and subsequently cost themselves money, energy, time and often their own jobs. Help your employees create the best for themselves by being the best and sharing this with your staff.

The Sudanese Islamic Movement (SIM) held a series of conferences at state and sectorial levels over the past few weeks in preparation for its awaited general convention in November. Ahead of the conferences the Movement announced a rule barring state governors from competing for the leadership of the organisation in their states. Only Osman Mohamed Yusif Kibir, the governor of North Darfur, distinguished himself by 'accepting' the nomination of the Movement's Shura (Consultative) Council in his state, and was thus announced Secretary General of the SIM in North Darfur for a second term. As governor and chairman of the North Darfur chapter of the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) Kibir unites in his person the three h's in NCP/SIM jargon, the hakuma (government), the hizb (party) and the haraka (movement). An envious NCP official from the region told a press conference in Khartoum on Saturday that Kibir's command of the three h's amounted to "religious and moral corruption". Hassan Bargo, in charge of the Chad file in the NCP during the height of the Darfur conflict i.e. a manager of Khartoum's support to Chadian rebels, dismissed the SIM's conferences as mere "window dressing", and called on the leadership of the organisation to allow for a generational shift at the top in order to avert an 'Arab Spring' in Sudan. Hassan Osman Rizig, the Deputy Secretary General of the SIM, said Kibir will eventually be forced to choose between the hakuma and the haraka, and cannot enjoy the pleasure of the power polygamy. Whether Rizig can enforce the constitutional pedantry of the SIM high office in Khartoum on al-Fasher's sultan is the wrong question I suppose. Rather the issue is whether the regime can afford a fracture of fragile power in al-Fasher between the three h's. Like most Sudanese Kibir and Bargo find it hard to grasp the subtle difference between the NCP and the SIM since up the ladder only the jellabiyas change.
The clamour around the November conference nevertheless is not without substance. The incumbent Secretary General of the SIM, Ali Osman Mohamed Taha, also the First Vice President and the Deputy Chairman of the NCP, declared to the conference of the SIM women sector that he is not interested in another term at the helm of the Movement. Time has come for elders like himself, he said, to withdraw to advisory functions and allow a younger generation of leaders to manage the affairs of the SIM. Conveniently enough, the proposed constitution of the Movement sets a two terms limit for election to the office, an exact fit to Taha's occupancy of the post. As Taha, the perennial deputy, announced his intent to slip out of the jellabiya of the SIM's Emir unidentified sources in the NCP told in-house journalists that a consensus was emerging in the party to nominate Taha for presidential office in the 2015 elections, a proposal that the SIM's second in command, Hassan Osman Rizig, did not deny. Rizig, cautious not to step on toes bigger than his, said the NCP general conference was the only platform where such a decision could be met. Meanwhile, Taha's cheerleaders in the Khartoum press went on early campaign, popularizing the notion that the deputy's moment has at last arrived; who else but the loyal Taha deserves the top jellabiya? The immediate drive for the succession stir is the open secret that President Bashir's health is compromised. A spokesman of the Palace in Khartoum said the President had a throat surgery last August in Qatar but was in good health. "All rumours that his health is not good are baseless", affirmed the spokesman without offering further details. Notably, the presidential uncle, al-Tayeb Mustafa, wrote in support of a Bashir exit in 2015. "It is in the interest of the President, after a quarter of a century of rule, to rest in dignity at the end of his current term, away from politics and its whirlwinds", he concluded after listing the immediate duties requiring President Bashir's attention: oversight of the implementation of the Addis Ababa agreements with South Sudan, securing Sudan's borders and bringing an end to the rebellions in South Kordofan, the Blue Nile and Darfur, stabilisation of the political and economic situation in the country in preparation for a new era of good governance and peaceful transition of power. Well, judging by his 1989 coup statement President Bashir and Co had a quarter of a century to do the same.
The Taha cheerleaders, it seems, are consciously ignoring the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) establishment, the 'old Sudan' political party jealously guarding the throne. At President Bashir's side two senior officers have survived the habubs of the NCP-SAF alliance safe from plane crashes and early retirement. These two gentlemen - Bakri Hassan Salih (Minister of Presidential Affairs) and Abd al-Rahim Mohamed Hussein (Minister of Defence) - are unlikely to surrender ultimate authority to the NCP/SIM bureaucracy without at least a fair bargain. If Taha and his captains find it difficult to discipline Mr Kibir into abiding by the SIM's rules then the tanks at the SAF headquarters are surely not going to follow their command whatever the jellabiyas they happen to wear.

EXCELLENCE Awards
Councils are invited to submit entries to the 2018 LGNZ EXCELLENCE Awards.
The EXCELLENCE Awards are open to all of New Zealand's 78 local authorities and applications must be submitted by a council that has led or had a significant involvement in the project or programme. Applications should be written and submitted using the relevant template.

For years, I've spoken out against shopping on Black Friday. But this year, for the first time, I almost joined the wild, deal-grabbing crowds.
I'm not opposed to Black Friday in theory. On the contrary; I can think of no better way to kick off a joyful Christmas season than by abandoning all goodwill toward others in the shameless and maniacal pursuit of cheap material goods. I just prefer to celebrate the day after Thanksgiving the way our Founding Fathers intended it, by lying around all day eating leftovers and napping.

VANCEBORO, NC (WITN) - The State Bureau of Investigation says a Vanceboro police officer acted correctly when he shot and wounded a man who deputies say shot three people ten days ago.
District Attorney Scott Thomas says Officer Jason Lovick used proper force when he shot John Jenkins on Streets Ferry Road.
The 82-year-old Vanceboro man is accused of shooting two tree trimmers working near his home, as well as a neighbor who was directing traffic away from the shooting.
Lovick had been placed on administrative leave with pay after the shooting, which is standard procedure in officer-involved shootings.
Jenkins was released from Vidant Medical Center on Thursday and is now at Central Prison's hospital in Raleigh.
Previous Story
A man accused of going on a shooting spree nine days ago outside of Vanceboro is out of the hospital and has been formally charged.
John Jenkins is now charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, four counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, one count of discharging a weapon into occupied property and one count of assault with a deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer.
The 82-year-old Vancebroro man was arraigned in a vehicle outside the Craven County Courthouse and then transferred to Central Prison's hospital in Raleigh. His bond was set at $2 million.
Authorities say Jenkins wounded two tree trimmers working near his home, as well as a neighbor who was directing traffic away from the active shooting. Jenkins was ultimately shot by a Vanceboro police officer in the face and head.
The three victims in the shootings were released from the hospital the next day.
His next court date is September 19th.
Previous Story
An elderly Craven County man has now been charged with Tuesday's shooting spree outside of Vanceboro, while all of the victims are now out of the hospital.
Sheriff Jerry Monette tells WITN News that John Jenkins is charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.
Monette says the man was irate at the tree trimmers and wounded three people before an officer returned fire and injured him.
The SBI has identified that officer as Jason Lovick with the Vanceboro Police Department. Officer Lovick has been placed on administrative leave with pay until the SBI investigation into the shooting is completed, which is standard procedure in such shootings.
Monette says the call came in around 4:43 p.m. of a shooting on Streets Ferry Road about a quarter to a half mile from West Craven High School.
The sheriff said it appears the 82-year-old Jenkins had an emotional or mental health issue.
Two tree trimmers, Angelo Williams and Brian Holden, were wounded first by a shotgun. Williams was stuck in the face, while Holden was hit by pellets in his mid-torso.
Authorities say Jenkins then went down the road and fired at two other workers who were in bucket trucks. They were not hit.
A few minutes later Billy Dail, who lives on Streets Ferry Road, was shot. Dail was wounded as he was trying to direct traffic away from the active shooting scene. He was hit on the left side of the face, head and hand.
The sheriff says Jenkins will be taken into custody on the initial charge, once he is released from Vidant Medical Center. Monette says at that point numerous other charges will be brought against the man.
Jenkins, who was hit in the face and head, is listed in critical condition at Vidant this afternoon.
The sheriff says the suspect suffers from dementia and old age and that they have dealt with him in the past. Monette says the man is a Korean War veteran who may suffer from post traumatic stress disorder.
Asked why Jenkins was upset, the sheriff says he's not sure. Monette says possibly the company, Townsend Tree Service, trimmed some trees and didn't remove limbs from his property.
Monette says Jenkins probably shot at between ten and twelve people.
Previous Story
A law enforcement source tells WITN News that the owner of a campground opened fire on tree trimmers Tuesday afternoon.
The source identified the gunman as John Jenkins. The man owns Chip's Camp Ground on River Road, not far from the shooting location.
Craven County Sheriff Jerry Monette says the man was irate at the tree trimmers and wounded three people before officers returned fire and injured him.
Monette says the call came in around 4:43 p.m. of a shooting on Streets Ferry Road about a quarter to a half mile from West Craven High School.
The sheriff said it appears he has an emotional or mental health issue.
Monette says a neighbor came out of a house to see what was going on, turned around when he saw the man with a gun, and was shot.
Lisa Henderson was visiting her daughter on Streets Ferry Road when the shooting happened. She says her daughter's father-in-law, Billy Dail, was the one shot when he came out of a house. She was unsure of his condition.
Monette says officers shot the gunman near that incident with the neighbor near the intersection with Cow Pen Landing Road.
It's unknown how serious the victims injuries are. Monette termed them serious, but not grave.
The three victims are being treated at hospitals in Craven County and Greenville.
A supervisor with the tree trimming company Townsend says two of their sub-contractors were injured, and he believes they will be OK.
Monette says the gunman was airlifted to Vidant Medical Center.
District Attorney Scott Thomas says the SBI is investigating the officer involved shooting, which is standard procedure.

Multiple people have been shot outside of Vanceboro this afternoon.
Authorities confirm there has been a shooting on Streets Ferry Road.
Neighbors tell WITN News that multiple people have been shot, while a witness says he heard deputies open fire on the gunman.
At least two medical helicopters have landed at the scene.
The shooting happened near the intersection of Cow Pen Landing Road. Authorities have closed Streets Ferry Road to all traffic.
A witness says it happened right near his home. He says a man in a silver pickup truck was in some sort of argument with people on the side of the road, and that the man then started shooting.
The witness says after shooting at the construction workers, the gunman drove down Streets Ferry Road and shot a neighbor who was in his yard.
The man tells us officers then were able to box the gunman in and he then heard officers open fire. Reports indicate the gunman was shot.
A family member of one of the victims says her uncle heard gunshots, went outside to see what was happening and was shot in the head.

March 27, 2014 — In a series of studies involving 140 American men and women with liver tumors, researchers at Johns Hopkins have used specialized 3-D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to precisely measure living and dying tumor tissue to quickly show whether highly toxic chemotherapy — delivered directly through a tumor's blood supply — is working.
The investigators say their findings, presented March 22-27 in San Diego at the annual meeting of the Society of Interventional Radiology, are the first "proof of principle" that this technology can show tumors in three dimensions and accurately measure tumor viability and death. Early data was also presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting, Dec. 1-6, 2013 in Chicago.
They also say their results — in patients with either primary liver cancers or metastatic tumors from cancers originating elsewhere in the body — are evidence that using this technology before and after treatment is a faster and better tool for predicting patient survival after chemotherapy targeted directly at tumors, called chemoembolization.
Unlike standard methods to assess tumor response after chemoembolization, which are based on two-dimensional images and tumor size, the Johns Hopkins-developed 3-D technology also distinguishes between dead and live tissue, giving an accurate assessment of tumor cell death.
The new technology builds on standard 2-D methods and uses computer analytics to evaluate the amount of so-called contrast dye absorbed by tumor tissue. The dye is injected into patients before their MRI scan to enhance image production. Researchers say live tissue will absorb more dye than dead tissue, affecting image brightness, which can also be measured for size and intensity.
"Our high-precision, 3-D images of tumors provide better information to patients about whether chemoembolization has started to kill their tumors so that physicians can make more well-informed treatment recommendations," says Johns Hopkins interventional radiologist Jean-Francois Geschwind, M.D., senior investigator on the studies.
Geschwind, a professor in the Russell H. Morgan Department of Radiology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and its Kimmel Cancer Center, said that knowing the true extent of a tumor's response to chemoembolization is particularly important for patients with moderate to advanced stages of the disease, whose liver tumors might initially be too large or too numerous to surgically remove.
In the first study, researchers compared the standard imaging method and the newly developed technology in 17 Baltimore men and women with advanced liver cancer. All were treated with surgery or liver transplantation after chemoembolization. The research team used existing MR analysis techniques, as well as the new 3-D method to compare the radiologists' analyses with pathologic review of tumor samples after therapy and surgical removal. The error margin of the new 3-D image analysis, they say, was low (at up to 10 percent) when predicting the amount of dead tumor tissue found by pathologists whereas the standard, 2-D method deviated by as much as 40 percent from actual values.
In a series of additional studies, Geschwind and his team used the standard and new imaging techniques to analyze the MRI scans of more than 300 liver tumors in some 123 other men and women, also from the Baltimore region. All patients were treated at The Johns Hopkins Hospital between 2003 and 2012, and each received pre- and post-chemoembolization MRI scans to assess the effects of therapy on the tumors.
Using the new 3-D method method, Geschwind's team found that patients who responded well to therapy lived 19 months longer (an average of 42 months) than patients who did not respond well (average 23 month survival). Standard methods showed slightly less difference in survival (average 18 months longer) between patients who responded to therapy and those who did not respond.
Geschwind said the 3-D technology's improved accuracy removes a lot of the guesswork that now goes into evaluating treatment outcomes. The new assessment takes seconds to perform, he adds, so radiologists can provide faster, almost instantaneous treatment advice.
Geschwind and his team plan further software refinements to the new approach before training more physicians to use it. He also has plans to study how it can affect treatment decisions, and whether these therapy choices help people live longer.
The software used in the MRI scans was developed at Johns Hopkins and at Philips Research North America, in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y. Philips, whose parent company is based in the Netherlands, manufactures some of the MRI devices used in the study.
Liver cancer kills nearly 20,000 Americans each year, and is much more prevalent outside the United States, where it is among the top-three causes of cancer death in the world. Experts cite the rising numbers of hepatitis C infections, which cause chronic liver inflammation and are a leading risk factor for liver cancer.

Egyptian Crisis: U.S. and U.K. Condemn Attacks on Journalists
A day after such high-profile journalists as CNN's Anderson Cooper and ABC's Christiane Amanpour were attacked in Cairo, the U.S. and Britain condemned those who are intimidating foreign reporters covering the protests against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and warned the government not to target journalists.
The condemnation came after more assaults on journalists were reported. An ABC News crew was carjacked by a group of men who threatened to behead the journalists, before the crew managed to persuade the men to release them, the network said. In addition, reporters for The New York Times, The Washington Post and Al Jazeera were detained on Wednesday and yesterday but later released.

BOSTON — The New York Knicks were the better team. And in the end, the better team won.
But, man, the Boston Celtics certainly made New York sweat, putting on one more display of Celtic pride before bowing out in Game 6 of their first round series, an 88-80 victory for the Knicks that puts them in a conference semifinals matchup with the Indiana Pacers starting Sunday.
It's New York's first playoff series victory in 13 years, a mixture of relief and exaltation for their long-suffering fans. It's the first time Boston has lost in the first round since acquiring Kevin Garnett in 2007, and maybe the end of the KG era. The Knicks had already ended the Celtics' streak of five straight division titles, but this was the official changing of the guard.
Both teams did their best to make it interesting in the fourth quarter though. The Knicks lost their way offensively after building a 26-point lead early in the period. They stubbornly stuck to isolation basketball that produced only tough shots and turnovers.
The Celtics finally found some offense by turning up the pressure defensively. Avery Bradley's ball hawking produced five New York miscues in a six-possession stretch in the middle of the 20-0 run. It was a furious push, but it eventually ran out of gas and the Celtics could never get to within less than four points.
The hole had been dug too deep. The Boston offense never looked more anemic than in did in the first half of Game 6, scoring a paltry 27 points on 43 possessions. Their spacing was terrible, they couldn't hold onto the ball, and they couldn't make a shot. In fact, they had more turnovers than made field goals until the 7:45 mark of the fourth.
"They wanted to play well, and they didn't," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said of his team. "They know they're better than what they played."
Ultimately, as resilient as they proved to be, the Celtics were a team without a point guard or much of a shot against an opponent with much more firepower. But hey, they saved face after losing the first three games, avoiding the sweep on Sunday, making the Knicks look silly for wearing all black to Game 5 on Wednesday, and giving their fans one final thrill with the 20-0 run on Friday.
Now, they face what may be a difficult summer. Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett looked older than ever in this series, and the best move for the franchise may be to part ways with their two prideful stars.
"We need more," Rivers said "But the key is, for us, do you want to take away to get more? And that will be a decision that will be made later."
"All three of us agreed to speak later," Garnett added. "It's a different day for that conversation."
Rivers himself said he's leaning toward coming back to coach at least one more year, but will take some time to make a decision.
The Knicks won't have much time to prepare for the Pacers, an even tougher defensive team than the Celtics. And it doesn't bode well that the Knicks scored less than a point per possession in this series and that Carmelo Anthony shot just 38 percent, at one point missing 19 straight 3-pointers.
"It's not something I'm too concerned about," Anthony said. "I'll take those shots any day. I won't stop shooting. My teammates need me to shoot."
The good news is that New York may be playing its best defense of the season, having held the Celtics under a point per possession in five of the six games. It's been three years since Boston was a good offensive team, but the Knicks' defense was, at times, very responsible for how bad their opponent looked.
The Knicks ranked 16th defensively in the regular season and weren't necessarily playing very well on that end when they won 13 straight games in March and early April. But they've seemingly flipped the switch.
"We have incredible athletes," Tyson Chandler said. "That combined with focus is dangerous. I've been saying that the whole time I've been here and we're starting to show it now."
Chandler added that he feels 100 percent recovered from the bulging disc in his neck that he was dealing with late in the season, which may be the most important thing for the Knicks as they get set to face Indiana's frontline of David West and Roy Hibbert. And that Iman Shumpert played one his best games of the season – 17 points on 6-for-9 shooting, six rebounds and a critical steal down the stretch – on Friday is also encouraging.
And hey, though the Knicks almost fumbled away that 3-0 lead they had, it takes a certain amount of resilience to finish off a series when your battle-tested opponent just doesn't want to go down.
"It was an ugly series," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said, "because neither team could really score or break loose. We did what we had to do to get out of this round."

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Despite concerns that Cisco ( CSCO - Get Report) would feel the same pressures that weighed on other Silicon Valley heavyweights this earnings season, the networking giant eased past Wall Street's estimates on Tuesday. Cisco reported first-quarter revenue of $11.88 billion and earnings of 48 cents a share, up from $11.27 billion and 43 cents a share in the prior year's quarter. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for sales of $11.77 billion and earnings of 46 cents a share. Similar to its prior-quarter results, Cisco enjoyed strength in its U.S. enterprise business, which saw revenue grow 9% year-over-year. The company's U.S. service provider sales were also robust, increasing 13% compared to the prior year's quarter. "We delivered record results this quarter -- with revenue growth of 6 percent and strong earnings per share growth -- demonstrating our vision and strategy are working," said Chambers in the company's press release. "Our innovation engine, operational discipline and on-going evolution are enabling us to differentiate in the market." The tech bellwether also offered healthy guidance, predicting revenue between $11.9 billion and $12.1 billion and earnings of 47 to 48 cents a share. The current consensus view calls for revenue of $12.02 billion and earnings of 47 cents a share. Investors relished the results, pushing Cisco's shares up 7.06% to $18.04 in extended trading on Tuesday.

Hours after Congress passed a deal to avert the fiscal cliff, the White House is continued its "outside game" of encouraging public support of President Obama's policies – in this case, highlighting what the White House considers a victory in the fight over raising tax rates on the wealthiest Americans.
Campaign manager Jim Messina sent a mass email via BarackObama.com, the former campaign website, linking to the video in which President Obama touts the deal and urges supporters to stay involved during his second term.
"Just like four years ago, winning an election won't bring about the change we seek on its own. It only gives us the chance to make that change," he says in the three-minute video.
And subscribers to WhiteHouse.gov, the official website, got an email from senior adviser David Plouffe explaining "7 things you need to know about the tax deal."
One big thing highlighted in that second email: that Obama kept his promises; the first two facts, about tax rates, start off that way.
"As the President promised, income taxes for middle-class families will stay low permanently," says Fact #1.
Since the election, White House has put an emphasis on outreach over its key legislative priorities, after criticism during Obama's first term that he didn't do enough to keep the public informed.
The fiscal cliff outside game has included a social media offensive as well as events in Pennsylvania and Michigan that mimicked the president's re-election rallies.

Every year I attend the New York Fancy Food Show held at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, and I must say that every time has been a tremendous experience. I went on Monday and Tuesday of June 27th and 28th and it was a major turn out. Hundreds of food booths are available for you to stop by and try their samples, and allowing you to chat and connect with them as well. Many wholesalers, retailers, and distributors all regarding the food industry come in for this show every year to make connections. There is such a huge range regarding the food that is offered to you, which is nice because you get a little taste of everything from all over the world!
Il Gelataio G7 is a gelato brand that is made in Italy and is the most delicious gelato I have ever tasted in my life. It was unreal! The company had so many different flavors to choose from to try, but I went for the Hazelnut, my all time favorite flavor. This gelato is special because of the handmade filling procedure, filling ever tub with gelato manually. They also make sure to use the best Italian ingredients and fresh Italian milk when making the amazing gelato flavors, also including everything is gluten free (yay!). My taste buds were going crazy because of how tasty this gelato was. I asked for three samples every time I was at the booth and went back for more samples the second day I was at the food show as well. I hunted down this booth because I couldn't leave without having a taste before the show was over. The workers probably were sick of me always asking to try all the flavors. I didn't care, that's why they are here. Il Gelataio G7 is sold worldwide, but you can find the gelato in the United States located in California, Texas, Missouri, and Michigan.
Sigdal Bakeri is a Norwegian family owned bakery that started their crispbread production in 2010. Crispbread, aka, some of the best tasting all natural wholegrain crackers I've ever eaten, comes in ten different flavors, all which are appetizing! Each cracker flavor has a unique taste that contains different seeds and kernels. It's been hard for me to find a healthy, good tasting, and nutritious cracker all in one. Talk about the perfect cracker! This was the first booth I went to at the show and it was amazing! If you pair these crisps with avocado or hummus it is the ultimate snack for the day. These crackers are sold in the Norwegian, Scandinavia, and several European markets. You can find these crispbread crackers sold online at the VeganSupply.ca or their website sigdalbakeri.com that is available to the United States. They also are exported here in New York City.
I recommend attending the food show next summer to anyone and everyone! Come with a very empty stomach because you will be having your breakfast, lunch, and dinner all at this event! Let me tell you, it does not disappoint!

freenode/#clasp - IRC ChatlogSearch
14:14:52 drmeister Hello
14:15:14 drmeister I'm trying a new approach to building cando+jupyterlab
14:15:14 beach Hello drmeister.
14:15:59 drmeister I want to add a quicklisp: hostname for logical pathnames because cando depends on quicklisp.
14:16:28 drmeister First shot - I'll have a CLASP_QUICKLISP environment variable, then /opt/clasp/lib/quicklisp then ~/quicklisp ?
14:16:56 drmeister Clasp will set the quicklisp hostname by checking those things in that order - how does that sound?
14:18:13 drmeister Why /opt/clasp/lib/quicklisp - because we are trying to collect all of jupyterlab and quicklisp that cando needs to run into one directory tree.
14:18:29 drmeister Then we can create a tarball of that tree and drop it into a minimal docker image.
14:18:45 drmeister Also - we are switching to Debian9 "stretch" rather than Ubuntu.
14:19:39 drmeister Our current docker problems are largely caused by poor version hygiene when building the docker image. We are attempting to clean this up.
14:19:43 Shinmera drmeister: What's the deal with waf not running on Python3.7
14:20:19 drmeister Shinmera: waf 2.0.7 supports Python3.7 and waf 2.0.6 (which we currently have) does not. I'll upgrade to 2.0.7 today.
14:20:28 Shinmera Alright, good
14:20:30 drmeister Python3.7 made a breaking change to the language.
14:20:43 karlosz Shinmera: its because Python3.7 made a breaking change with respect to generators, raising a runtime exception when there was none before
14:21:00 Shinmera karlosz: I guessed as much.
14:21:23 drmeister Ok, if no one has an issue with a "quicklisp" hostname - I will proceed.
14:23:42 beach GAH, I have a strange problem. I get things like: caught ERROR: ; (during EVAL of LOAD-TIME-VALUE); The variable #:G402562 is unbound.
14:23:54 beach It happens when I call CST-to-AST.
14:24:34 beach It is happening when I try to compile a very simple DEFMACRO that uses a &KEY parameter.
14:43:36 drmeister beach: This is using sbcl - right?
14:43:46 beach Yes.
14:44:15 beach I am not expecting help. Just saying.
14:44:24 drmeister Ok - we've been improving argument handling in clasp - just making sure the world has not turned upside down and you are doing anything with clasp.
14:44:33 beach It's one of those situations where I find our tools are failing.
14:44:43 beach Not yet, no.
14:46:09 Bike does it happen with macrolet?
14:46:19 beach Haven't checked.
14:46:51 beach Why do you ask?
14:47:06 Bike i'm just wondering what's dealing with the lambda list. with macrolet it would definitely be cleavir. with defmacro it depends on the definition of defmacro.
14:47:19 beach Yeah.
14:47:48 beach It am pretty sure that it is something that I accidentally made the host do as opposed to Cleavir.
14:47:54 beach Let me check with macrolet.
14:50:13 beach Yes, same error.
14:50:24 beach Good hint though.
14:52:48 karlosz Bike: have you managed to get a backtrace on the closure thing?
14:53:23 Bike no, i can get going on that in a minute. wanted to finish something else up but it'll take time
14:53:55 karlosz no rush
15:13:20 beach HATE, HATE, HATE!
15:13:58 drmeister beach: What's up?
15:14:29 beach "corruption warning, memory fault, ... the party is over"
15:14:47 beach I really don't like it when my tools fail me.
15:15:12 drmeister Because if it's about computers - I'll join in with you for a good 'ole "two minutes hate".
15:16:08 karlosz ha
15:16:11 beach This happened when I tried to trace all the functions in the cst-to-ast package and then translate a very simple expression.
15:16:53 karlosz well, this is asmusing. inlining out of extent returns causes them to act like scheme's indefinite extent returns introduced by call/cc
15:16:58 karlosz (funcall (prog1 (block nil (lambda () (return)))
15:17:00 karlosz (print 'ha!)))
15:17:05 karlosz this prints 'ha in a loop
15:17:10 karlosz exactly what scheme would do
15:17:47 beach In CLISP, I presume?
15:17:53 karlosz and it makes sense too, if we ignore what is out of extent or not we get a valid continuation anywhere in the function body, just like scheme
15:17:56 karlosz no, with cleavir
15:18:12 karlosz with the inliner not checking for out of extent returns
15:18:39 beach I was unaware that Cleavir had anything to do with checking valid exit points.
15:18:54 karlosz well, the inliner has a method on unwind
15:19:17 karlosz so when partial inlining and hitting unwind it will inline the function by unwinding
15:19:32 karlosz if its inside dynamic extent it will do what we expect
15:19:51 karlosz if its outside - then its UB behavior but cleavir wstill does it 'the right' way
15:20:07 beach For SICL, that's definitely the wrong way.
15:20:15 beach So if Cleavir always does it, it does it wrong.
15:21:06 karlosz right, we want to throw an error on UB behavior - but it is still amsuing that it does what scheme would do with call/ccc
15:21:18 beach Sure.
15:21:24 karlosz i have a fix by introducing illegal unwind instruction
15:21:35 beach I still don't get it.
15:21:37 karlosz the inliner will check if its out of extent and introduce that instruction instead
15:22:10 beach So the problem is that the inliner is not checking its necessary conditions?
15:22:33 karlosz yes, the inline method for unwind instruction doesnt check whether the place its unwinding to is really valid
15:23:04 beach And what do you suggest doing instead?
15:23:16 karlosz and if it isn't, we can still inline the function, but we should replace the unwind instruction with an illegal unwind instruction that will throw an error when its inlined
15:23:24 karlosz instead of a nop
15:23:45 karlosz so everything works correctly, including the inline
15:23:57 beach That still doesn't sound right.
15:24:35 beach It just should not inline in that case I would think.
15:25:10 karlosz iwould there be a probem inlining it the way i descrbied?
15:25:18 karlosz it would be less special casing, and we get an inline
15:25:56 beach In SICL, I definitely want the ordinary machinery to be invoked if there is a non-local exit to an exit point that has been abandoned.
15:27:00 karlosz so then one possible way to achieve that is to not bother inlining any function with unwind instruction in it
15:27:32 karlosz https://paste.gnome.org/pdqwigrb2 it would mean something like this doesn't get constant folded to 24 though
15:28:34 beach Are you sure there are only two possibilities: Never inline in that case, or do the wrong thing sometimes?
15:28:54 karlosz i didnt say that
15:29:08 karlosz its just one way to acheive that
15:29:19 beach But that sounds a bit drastic.
15:30:21 beach Anyway, if you want the second option, you should make a method specialized to your system, because I do not want it for SICL.
15:31:26 karlosz OK. i am curious how you will fix the inliner to always do the right thing though, because i would like that too
15:32:00 beach I don't have an answer for you at this point.
15:32:40 beach If what it takes is to never inline a function with a non-local exit, then so be it.
15:33:10 karlosz sure, i was bringing it up because thats what the current code that is in the repository does
15:33:17 beach But by all means, go ahead and specialize this behavior for CLISP.
15:33:31 beach Then it is doing the wrong thing for SICL.
15:36:02 beach I don't get it though. If you can detect the situation and replace the unwind with an illegal unwind instruction, how come it is not possible to avoid inlining when that situation is detected?
15:36:28 karlosz thats just how the current partial inlining code is structured
15:36:45 beach But that still means that the situation can be detected, right?
15:36:45 karlosz it doesn't first analyze the instructions that can be inlined
15:36:57 karlosz it finds which functions can be inlined
15:37:05 karlosz and then inlines one by one
15:37:26 karlosz you would have to look inside every function to see if it odes anything weird before you start the inlining process to fix it
15:37:37 karlosz which would require a bit of restructuring of the code
15:37:38 beach Good, that's what I would prefer.
15:37:45 beach Then so be it.
18:20:15 frgo Guys, where can I find a PDF detailling Cleavir? I need to read up on some of its features ...
18:20:59 stassats does it need to be a PDF?
18:21:30 frgo I can't handle TeX currently, but no, it doesn't need to be PDF.
18:28:05 stassats i have the pdf, but i don't know where to put it
18:30:04 stassats frgo: https://common-lisp.net/~sboukarev/cleavir.pdf
18:30:52 frgo Cool! Thanks!
19:43:20 Bike ok. got a bug or something in sicl. if you run segregate-lexicals, sometimes it will want to turn a function parameter into a cell. when it does it knocks the enter-instruction's lambda-list and outputs out of sync. and i'm not sure it results in something sane, either, let me check
19:43:25 Bike in cleavir.
19:45:41 karlosz Bike: you aren't talking about the changes i made, right?
19:45:50 Bike i am not.
19:47:53 Bike ok, the generated code is sane actually. so it's just the lambda-list/outputs mismatch.
19:48:16 Bike i think i'll reproduce that thing for you now. that was exhausting
19:48:28 Bike this was exhausting. watching a build is not
19:51:27 karlosz okay, thanks. how long does it take to build clasp on the hardware you have? i have a new laptop, yet i still takes about 4 hours to build clasp
19:52:11 Bike half an hour. it's beefy. that's without cst though.
19:52:40 karlosz wow, no wonder you can actually get stuff done
20:09:40 karlosz maybe it would help catch bugs if we had an ir consistency checker that just makes sure everything is what they should be
20:10:01 karlosz like checking successors, inputs, using-instructions, etc... are all what they should be
20:10:08 karlosz and test that we dont have instructions that share structure
20:10:12 karlosz for slots
20:10:18 karlosz so an nsub doesn't meses things up
20:11:34 karlosz i can imagine a verifier for closure conversion that tests whether any location is used by a function that doesnt own it, for example
20:14:59 Bike i think we'd have to start on deciding what consistency is
20:15:09 Bike like before now i had not considered lambda lists and outputs going out of sync
20:18:17 karlosz yeah, it probably makes sense to program different consistency checks individually. usually they can be associated with some pass, like checking successors and predecessors agree like for cleavir-ir:set-predecessors
20:18:40 karlosz could also be used to empirically determine whether we need things like reinitialize-data and set-predecessors after certain passes
20:19:08 karlosz since i found that running those in a loop really does impact performance
20:23:14 Bike http://ix.io/1jQi crash. real early.
20:42:55 karlosz looks like miscompile for sure
20:52:19 karlosz okay, im going to try building clasp with the forable boehm
20:52:48 drmeister karlosz: I'll be able to give you more of a hand there once I get done what I'm working on now.
20:52:58 drmeister I'm working on getting a docker image for cando
20:53:08 drmeister I've got several people waiting for it.
20:53:49 karlosz drmeister: don't worry about it at all. just testing the waters a bit for now

Do You Support the Buffett Rule? — Survey of the Day
Named for billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who has argued that he shouldn't pay a lower tax rate than his secretary, the Buffett Rule would mandate a minimum 30 percent tax rate for any household which makes over $1 million a year.
But is the rest of country onboard with such an idea?
Next week, the Senate may vote on the regulation (it would also have to pass the House before it became law) and according to new survey from Gallup of 1,016 adults 60 percent of Americans are in support of Congress enacting the Buffett Rule. Thirty percent oppose the regulation and another three percent aren't sure.
The bill is particularly popular with Democrats (74 percent support) and Independents (63 percent.) However, 54 percent of Republicans oppose the Buffett Rule.

Entrance to the Ramp Farm located in
Richwood, West Virginia
Ramp Farm Aerial Video
The lush ramps are just about ready
to be harvested at the Ramp Farm
Hello, we are Glen and Norene Facemire, and we have the distinction of having the only ramp farm in the world. We are located on the north slope in the quaint little town of Richwood, along the prominent trout stream of the South Fork of the Cherry River.
We would like to introduce you to one of the most unique vegetable/herb in the world. The RAMP (Allium Tricoccum) is a member of the more well known onion and garlic family, but that is where it stops. The unique flavor is desired by chefs preparing for the Wall Street crowd in the famed Beard House in New York City, to the thrill of the races at the Kentucky Derby. Though the RAMP has grown to new heights, its roots are still in the tradition of ramp feeds and festivals throughout the state.
The RAMP is characterized by having leaves about 10 inches long and 2 inches wide. The slender stem makes its way down to a white bulb that is about one-half inch around. The use of the ramps are limited only to ones imagination.
Ramp Seeds--This is a thrifty way to grow your own ramps.
Ramp Bulbs--These are ideal for the gardener that can't wait to have instant ramps.
Booklets--We have one booklet:
Ramps From the Seed to the Weed
Book- We have a 148 page book:
Your Ramps and Eating them Too
Post Cards--This is a good way to share with others the celebrated ramp.

Among those attending Tuesday's ceremony at St. Agnes Church in Gloucester Township were high-ranking church officials from all six of New Jersey's dioceses, including Newark Archbishop John Joseph Myers. Others on hand included New York's Cardinal Timothy Dolan and Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput.
The 67-year-old Sullivan previously served as vicar general of the New York archdiocese. He succeeds Joseph Galante as leader of the Camden diocese, which serves approximately 475,000 Catholics in Cape May, Atlantic, Cumberland, Salem, Gloucester and Camden counties.
The 74-year-old Galante announced his intent to resign in January 2012, citing ongoing dialysis treatments and several other health issues.

Bull Shoals, population 1,950 (2010 U.S. Census), is
in north central Arkansas about 10 miles south of the Arkansas-Missouri
state line. Primarily a retirement and vacation center, Bull Shoals
is bordered in three directions by a clear, deep, man-made lake of
the same name, Bull Shoals Lake.
The town of Bull Shoals, as we know it today, was
created by real estate developers C.S. Woods and C.S. Woods Jr., with the city being officially established
in 1954. Bull Shoals Dam is the threshold into the town, if you are
coming in from the southeast.
Shoals Dam and the town of Bull Shoals developed together.
The developers bought several tracts of the former Newton Flat
settlement when they heard the government planned to build
a flood-control and power-generating concrete dam at the site.
Construction of the dam took four years, between 1947 and 1951,
resulting in one of the largest dams built in the nation at
that time.
Shoals Lake is the hub of activity for the people
of Bull Shoals and their many visitors. Boating in clean waters,
excellent fishing, swimming, and camping are some of the reasons
people flock to Bull Shoals. Small businesses supply the needs of
the townspeople and vacation attractions focus on the natural environment
and the land's features and history.
Bull Shoals has been honored as an Arkansas Volunteer
Community of the Year several times. Activities of the following organizations contribute
to the achievement: Bull Shoals Theatre, Parks Committee, Historical
Society, Cemetery Board, VFW, Library Board, Police Auxiliary, Fire
Department Auxiliary, Meals on Wheels, Lions Club, Rotarians, Chamber
of Commerce, Bull Shoals churches, and the people of Bull Shoals.
Bull Shoals is located in north central Arkansas about
10 miles south of the Arkansas-Missouri state line in the Ozark Mountains.
It is accessible by Arkansas Highway 178 from north-south Arkansas
Highway 5 or from U.S. Hwy 412/62 at Flippin.
Bordered on the north, northeast and west by the waters
of Bull Shoals Lake, the town of Bull Shoals is nearly a peninsula.
The White River flows alongside the town on the east, and the town
is just north of the Buffalo National River 34 miles. Terrain is
heavily wooded on rolling hills with water recreation on Bull Shoals
Lake defining the town by name and proximity.
Nearest interstate highways are Interstate 44 (135
miles north) and Interstate 40 (125 miles south). A nearby north-south,
highly-traveled route is U.S. Highway 65 from Des Moines, Iowa, to
Natchez, Miss., through Little Rock, Ark., Branson and Springfield,
Mo. U.S. Highway 65 is 35 miles west of Bull Shoals.
South Shore was founded
by and is fully supported by NATCO (Northern
Arkansas Telephone Company).

@Kevin Thank you for your insight. As an engineer who is seriously contemplating a "change of scene" the advice along this thread has been invaluable.
I think I have a couple of road trips to make, but this discussion has been really helpful in considering all of the aspects ( or at least most of the important ones) with regard to relocation to "hot tech areas".
No Income tax ? I forgot about that - and that is a major consideration to be sure. Many elements to consider and thanks again for bring them up.
@Laurianee Excellent point, sounds like the place to go if you want to get some real Big Data experience. Texas is full of opportunity it appears.
@Alison_Diana Thanks for letting us know what is going on in Florida. I have vacationed in the state once - and still remember the heat and humidity. Did the Tampa to St. Petersberg trip.
The heat and humidity is not necessarily a bad thing - but not for the squeamish. : )
@TerryB Thanks for the insight. I am in L.A. now so I guess I would be use to the traffic. And for the record I have nothing against partying or Stevie Ray Vaugh. I will have to go on a road trip and check things out.
From an operational perspective the cost of living in the rising states has got to be attractive for those that can't afford to live in Silicon Valley or NYC. The issue in recruiting has to be whether the best and brightest would be interested in living in one of these non-traditional tech hot spots.

This isn't a very satisfactory testing method, however. Get the tolerance too tight, and spurious random differences cause tests to fail unnecessarily. Too loose, and you might miss a subtle logic bug that skews the probabilities of some case.
The weighted random shuffle algorithm calls int rand $limit a number of times, each time passing in a small integer. This effectively uses the RNG like a dice roll, randomly selecting some integer 0 .. $limit - 1. Because each call takes a small integer, and because the algorithm is entirely deterministic for any given set of random results, this suggests a better testing method. If we could instead enumerate all possible returns of random numbers, each one exactly once, we can generate all possible results from the shuffle algorithm in their ideal proportions. Because this will be an exact deterministic count, free from randomness, we can assert exact values for the results.
So this is what I did. I've created a module, for now simply called Unrandom, which exports one function, unrandomly. It is used like the following:
use Unrandom 'unrandomly';The unrandomly function has the effect of replacing the rand function with one under its control while it runs the block of code. It runs the block of code a number of times, enumerating the entire tree of possible return values, in a given deterministic order:
unrandomly {
my $da = 1 + int rand 6;
my $db = 1 + int rand 6;
say "Roll 2d6: $da + $db = " . ($da+$db);
Roll 2d6: 1 + 1 = 2Because each possible combination is returned exactly once, we can unit test that this dice-rolling algorithm does in fact give us the right distribution of results; there will be exactly one 2, two 3s, etc... We don't have to run it a few million times, and check that we got "roughly" the right number; we can be exact.
Roll 2d6: 1 + 2 = 3
Roll 2d6: 1 + 3 = 4
Roll 2d6: 1 + 4 = 5
Roll 2d6: 1 + 5 = 6
Roll 2d6: 1 + 6 = 7
Roll 2d6: 2 + 1 = 3
Roll 2d6: 2 + 2 = 4
Roll 2d6: 6 + 5 = 11
Roll 2d6: 6 + 6 = 12
While I'm using this code in a unit-test, there's nothing directly test-related in the code. It could be useful anywhere that statistical modelling is used, or other problems involving random integer generation.
I'm now just looking for a good name to call it, so I can extract it from the unit tests and give it a life of its own on CPAN.
Suggestions anyone?

The Brazilian-influenced LP has been a rite of passage for crooners from the northern hemisphere since Mr Frank Sinatra teamed with Mr Antonio Carlos Jobim in 1967. Now Mr Sébastien Tellier leaves his native France behind for the home of samba for his sixth studio album, L'Aventura, which is out on 14 July.
L'Aventura was made in both Rio and Bougival, France (in Mr Jean-Michel Jarre's studio no less) - and manages to marry his whimsical Gallic pop with the upbeat, intricate sounds of Brazil. "Brazilian music is perfect as it's full of mysterious chords and strange melodies, but also light and sunny," he says. Mixed by house legend Mr Philippe Zdar, the album features lead single "L'Adulte" - the video of which you can see below (bravo on the blazer, Mr Tellier).
In anticipation of the release, we asked the follicularly blessed artist - who has enjoyed a varied career that includes projects with Daft Punk and a 2008 Eurovision appearance - for his favourite tracks. For the 10 tunes he's currently playing the most head to Spotify to hear Mr Stevie Wonder, Kavinsky and The Beach Boys. You can pre-order L'Aventura here.
Words by Mr Tom M Ford, Features Writer, MR PORTER
Culture Club
"Karma Chameleon"
"This track is the one song I've listened to the most in my life, so I have to include it."
Arthur Verocai
"Pelas Sombras"
"Some artists are so talented that music doesn't seem to hold any secrets for them. Arthur Verocai is one of those guys."
François de Roubaix
"Les Amis"
"My love for naive, innocent art was born when I heard this track. I consider him to be a musical father figure."
Lucio Battisti
"Amarsi Un Po'"
"Lucio fascinates me. He made me fall in love with music."
"I Love U So"
"This is a quintessential modern dance track that sums up a very simple feeling well. Philippe Zdar - a legend of house music and part of Cassius - mixed my new album."
Dennis Wilson
"River Song"
"The start of Pacific Ocean Blue - this is the most beautiful album intro I've ever heard. Dennis isn't overly famous, but I have always considered him the most talented of The Beach Boys."
Tim Maia
"O Caminho Do Bem"
"I heard this track on a car stereo in São Paulo four years ago and it made me want to play Brazilian music. Everything I love about music is in this track."
Gérard Lenorman
"Gentil Dauphin Triste"
