Former senator Warren Rudman dies
The former New Hampshire senator was a noted centrist.
Former New Hampshire senator Warren Rudman, a leading centrist in the Republican Party and influential voice on budget issues, has died. He was 82.
Rudman died Monday night at a Washington hospital of complications from lymphoma, spokesman Bob Stevenson told the Associated Press.
Best known as the co-author of a deficit reduction law, Rudman was a key supporter of David Souter's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.
He also served on the special committee that investigated ties between Marine Col. Oliver North and the funding of Nicaraguan rebels during the Reagan administration. Rudman also co-authored a 2001 report on national security, with former Colorado senator Gary Hart, that said a major terrorist attack would occur on American soil likely within 25 years. The report came out before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack.
Rudman served in the U.S. Senate from 1980 to 1993, and exemplified a time when Republicans and Democrats would put aside their party affiliations to work together. That kind of bipartisanship is now rare.
The Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Balanced Budget Act, signed into law in 1985, was one of the first laws of its kind to require caps on federal spending and automatic cuts, known as sequesters, if deficit targets were not reached. Rudman's co-authors were Republican Phil Gramm of Texas and Democrat Ernest Hollings of South Carolina.
In some ways, the law was the forerunner to the deal between President Obama and Congress that has sparked talk of a fiscal cliff. The Bush-era tax cuts are going to expire at the end of the year and deep, across-the-board spending cuts are set to take effect if Obama and Congress cannot reach a deal to avoid them.
Souter, who retired in 2009 from the U.S. Supreme Court, was Rudman's deputy in the New Hampshire attorney general's office in the 1970s. When President George H.W. Bush was looking for a high court nominee in 1990, Rudman and Bush's chief of staff, John Sununu, pushed for Souter, then a little-known New Hampshire state Supreme Court justice. Souter was confirmed by the U.S. Senate and later raised the ire of conservatives for siding regularly with the high court's liberal wing.
In his 1996 memoir, Rudman confessed to voting for Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court even though he did not believe Thomas was qualified. Rudman wrote that he did so in order to have continued influence in judicial nominations and to get federal funds for New Hampshire.
After serving in the Senate, Rudman was a sought-after counsel by leaders in both political parties. He turned down President Bill Clinton's offer to serve as Treasury secretary in the Democrat's administration. Rudman was a supporter of Republican presidential nominees Bob Dole and John McCain.
He also co-founded the Concord Coalition and, through the group, continued to advocate for a balanced budget.
In 2001, Rudman was awarded the Presidential Citizen's Medal -- the nation's second highest civilian honor behind the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

That breakaway group of five state senators known as the Independent Democratic Conference announced last week that after the November elections, they would end their power-sharing deal with the Republicans, a decision that ran the State Senate for the past two years by creating a GOP majority, and return to the Democratic flock.
That means the Democrats will once again control the Assembly, State Senate and the Governor's Mansion (when Sandra Lee allows it, of course).
This could have wide-ranging implications on more progressive-minded legislation before the state, such as raising the minimum wage and strengthening abortion rights.
The IDC's head ringmaster, State Senator Jeff Klein of the Bronx, will share the State Senate presidency with Democratic Leader Andrew Stewart-Cousins.
While the IDC publicly states that the change of heart is to help push stalled bills important to Democrats through the legislature, is there anything that truly happens in the halls of government that doesn't have some sort of political motivation behind it?
More than likely, the move by the IDC is because some of their members are facing tough primary challenges from a Democratic Party fed up with their political maneuvering. Klein himself is facing a challenge from former councilman Oliver Koppell, and State Senator Tony Avella, another IDC member, is facing a challenge from former comptroller John Liu.
The switch back to working with the Democrats is just as likely about giving potential challengers less ammunition to allege that these state senators are merely Republican operatives dressed up as Democrats.
According to published reports, Koppell was already hedging on whether or not he would continue with his primary challenge.
We say the revolution is over, sort of, because let's not forget the original breakaway Democrat, State Senator Simcha Felder of Brooklyn. Almost immediately after being elected as a Democrat, the fiercely independent former City Council member announced that he would be caucusing with the Republicans, long before the IDC was a glint in any state senator's eye.
One IDC member we spoke with admitting they had no idea what Felder was going to do. Does anybody ever have any idea what Felder is going to do?

Aphro Chic Blotter Business Cards
Abbie at Passing Notes is a master of refined print design. Her type is always exquisite and these cards for her client Aphro Chic were a pleasure to print. They are on a thick 60pt blotter stock with a flood of bold geometric pattern on the back and two color letterpress on the front. The blotter sheet has a pulpy appearance with lots of soft fiber texture. We printed the business cards along with a note card on the same press sheet so the print dollar went a bit further. The business cards were edge colored in a PMS match yellow for the perfect finishing accent.

Print advertisement created by Lobo, Chile for Panasonic, within the category: Electronics, Technology.
Creative Director: Christian Quintana
Art Director: Edison Saravia
Copywriter: Christian Quintana
Illustrator: Ricardo Salamanca
Photographer: Patricio Pescetto
Additional credits: Victor Aguilera, Monica Peralta, Isabel Lobo
I like the fundamental idea but it is badly flawed.
Why? Because the furniture and decor is also dated. If you're claiming you're a brand that makes all other brands obsolete and you are cutting edge you're whole ad should reek of high tech.
"I like the fundamental idea but it is badly flawed. Why? Because the furniture and decor is also dated..."
The use of "dated" (retro) furniture emphasizes the technology being advertised.. works for me.
Haha, I like! The idea is good and overall it's amusing, one of the elements I love in my ads. Presentation-wise however...as much as I appreciate and understand the-picture-speak-for-itself approach, I think it wouldn't hurt to have a witty oneliner tagline in the picture.
Seconded. The people who created it no doubt get it but will everyone else? Copy is always nice.
Very creative, did require some planning here, the USP for Panasonic is a bit weak though.
A fresh creative approach and good art direction.
interesting, but is the 3D so good i'd watch it while am standing or from the corner beside the tv? there's no furniture infront of the tv...
Salamanca Studios tends to always deliver amazing visuals, but I am with you for the most part. Ads for flat screen TVs have had a visual of someone sitting on a couch and all of the action happens to be pouring out into the room. The presentation for the ads are a step above in my eyes, but the idea is enhanced rather than becoming a new idea of its own.
Good ad nonetheless.
Love the narrative.
And for me, the "dated decor" humanizes this, grounds it, makes the joke work. Think about it: If everything in this ad looked like the 24th century, it would be a big so what.
That's it.
3d tv adverts are getting through the cliché's at a rate.
still funny though.
AWESOME! its a very nice ad!
And then GOD said...
Let there be creativity!!!
Nice! Makes me laugh! Very Precise!
nice. i'll never watch a horror movie with glasses!
this is so cute... I want to buy the TV today
good try, attractive for consumers!!

Haidar Osman, Mohammad Ghafari, Oscar Nierstrasz, and Mircea Lungu. An Extensive Analysis of Efficient Bug Prediction Configurations. In Proceedings of the The 13th International Conference on Predictive Models and Data Analytics in Software Engineering, PROMISE 2017, 2017. Details.
Background: Bug prediction helps developers steer maintenance activities towards the buggy parts of a software. There are many design aspects to a bug predictor, each of which has several options, i.e. software metrics, machine learning model, and response variable. Aims: These design decisions should be judiciously made because an improper choice in any of them might lead to wrong, misleading, or even useless results. We argue that bug prediction configurations are intertwined and thus need to be evaluated in their entirety, in contrast to the common practice in the field where each aspect is investigated in isolation. Method: We use a cost-aware evaluation scheme to evaluate 60 different bug prediction configuration combinations on five open source Java projects. Results: We find out that the best choices for building a cost-effective bug predictor are change metrics mixed with source code metrics as independent variables, Random Forest as the machine learning model, and the number of bugs as the response variable. Combining these configuration options results in the most efficient bug predictor across all subject systems. Conclusions: We demonstrate a strong evidence for the interplay among bug prediction configurations and provide concrete guidelines for researchers and practitioners on how to build and evaluate efficient bug predictors.

Design duo (and fiancés!) Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent teamed
up to revamp hair colorist Rita Hazan's New York City apartment.
The result? An urbane, drama-filled home for a modern Manhattan woman.

artistic collaboration
Rita Hazan—the colorist who makes Beyoncé's hair a spectacular shade of golden honey and who last year coiffed Katy Perry in a riot of pink, purple, and blue—lives only in homes that are black, white, and gray, except for a three-month mistake when she painted her apartment blue. So, last October, when she moved into a sun-splashed 2,500-square-foot loft on a quiet cobblestone street in Manhattan's NoHo neighborhood, she had bought only a white bed and hadn't yet figured out what to do with the space. A few weeks later, she ran into an old friend, the interior designer Nate Berkus, whom she had met 10 years ago while appearing as a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show. She told him about the apartment, and he said, "I know who you are: black, white, neutral, art deco, urban chic." Hired on the spot, Berkus asked if he could bring in his new beau, and interior design partner, Jeremiah Brent, who had previously designed stylist Rachel Zoe's home. It would be the couple's first collaboration.

Berkus and Brent designed this space, originally intended as a dining room, as a lounge to suit Hazan's informal style of entertaining. A slipper chair upholstered in Mongolian lamb's wool and a vintage Milo Baughman chaise juxtapose a Lucite-and-steel coffee table with a glass top.

paint it black
To the first client meeting, "we brought options for everything—sofas, chairs, rugs, lamps, fabrics, and paint colors," Berkus says. "Three and a half hours later, we left, knowing everything." Divvying up responsibilities—Berkus focused on the organization of rooms, while Brent concentrated on color—the two designers made Hazan's neutral palette pop. "It's a long, narrow colonnade of rooms," Berkus says. "To distinguish those rooms, we needed to decide which walls became black." The designers mixed textures—ivory Mongolian lamb's wool with off-white linen, black velvet with brass, rough-hewn wood with crystal—to suit Hazan's style. "She leaves the house in a fur jacket, four-inch stilettos, and a man's gold watch," Berkus says. "She has a rock-and-roll quality, but she's a soft-spoken, thoughtful person." Together, Berkus and Brent gave Hazan the decor she wanted: a multitude of whites and warm black. As for the designers, they more than survived the collaboration—they recently announced their engagement.
need to know:
working with a neutral palette
"Texture plays a huge role,"Berkus says. Contrast materials: put fur on top of linen; upholster a brass-legged chair in black velvet.
"Figure out what to take away, so that . . . what you notice is what you want people to notice,"Berkus says. "There was a lot of blond wood, so we painted it all white, and we coated all the doors with white." Only the sliding door is black, making it a focal point.
"Break the rules about how you can't use certain colors,"Brent says. By painting the dining room black, it "gives the idea of infinite space, and by grounding it with a simple black-topped wood table, the palette becomes cohesive."
Berkus and Brent suspended a trio of hanging terrariums above a custom concrete table and a pair of 19th-century French chairs with their original leather upholstery.
Hazan's dressing room features a mix of high and low design, from a 1970s tufted daybed to white shelving from IKEA.
Fashion infuses all parts of Hazan's life, even her tablescapes.
Known for their ability to elegantly organize their clients' collections, Berkus and Brent created loads of chic closet space for Hazan.

In a related topic (that I will explain below in spoilers), I am still annoyed that Father Gabriel got sick last week from wearing the zombie guts. We have seen people wear guts at least 3 times in the history of the show and it has never been mentioned before that just wearing the guts will get you sick. Of course the only time it was ever mentioned and someone got sick from it. Would you get sick from cutting open a decaying body and putting the innards on you for a bit? IDK!?

Missoni Spring 2013 | Pictures
Missoni Spring 2013
Missoni Spring 2013
In honor of Missoni's 60th anniversary next year, Angela Missoni crafted a perfectly refreshing collection for Spring '13 based off of one of her first memories of the fashion house. That memory, was a white suit featured on the cover of French Elle circa 1960, setting the tone for the opening looks on the runway — sheer white trapeze dresses, blazers paired with cropped capris, and tunics elusively hinting at the brand's iconic prints. The mood was crisp and airy, as further exemplified by the pretty hues of pink, orange, and green following afterwards in ombré shift dresses, collared tops, and a beguiling sequined blouse paired with a sleek pencil skirt. Meanwhile, sheer digital printed maxidresses showcased Missoni's luxurious bohemian aesthetic. The collection might have been devoid of the brand's in-your-face knits, but that's what made it even more exhilarating.

One of the most important challenges facing any new business is determining exactly who the customers are for their products. A company can have great products, but if the target audience isn't the right one, that new business faces difficulties right out of the gate.
For Levi Scott, founder and president of Scott Printing Ink, LLC, a Holmes, PA-based specialist in offset, flexographic and specialty inks that came into existence in 2010, finding the right market took a little time, but everything is now moving ahead well.
"As a small business, the hardest part is identifying who wants what you are selling," said Mr. Scott. "During my first six months, I was shooting at elephants and not hitting any. I realized that my target market is the regional printers who are being victimized by the larger ink companies. I recognized that there is an opportunity for small ink companies in the Mid-Atlantic region that can support the local printers, so I decided to go ahead.
"The real value is understanding who your customer is and what they need," Mr. Scott added. "I can provide the technical support, keep a certain amount in inventory for my customers, and get the ink to my customers when they need it. Because of this, there is an opportunity for Scott Printing Ink in the industry."
The only veteran-owned, certified-MBE in the ink industry, Scott Printing Ink, LLC manufactures and sells its inks from its 7,000 sq.ft. manufacturing facility in Delaware County, PA. In addition to offering process colors, the company also offers Pantone shades. The company's mission is to find solutions to difficult printing problems.
Scott Printing Ink focuses on new product development and finding these solutions to challenging problems on press. This makes plenty of sense, as Mr. Scott's background is on the additive side of the ink business, having worked in the lab as well as sales for IGM Resins, Cognis and ARCO Chemical prior to starting his ink company.
"I spent most of my career in the lab, and I know how companies struggle to make sure their existing products run right, not to mention running new products," Mr. Scott said.
Typically, new ink manufacturers have a broad understanding of color but less knowledge of ink chemistry, but with his years of work on resins, additives and UV chemistry, Mr. Scott is well prepared for the chemistry side of the business.
"I have a broad background in ink chemistry and understand additives science, but what I found most difficult was color science," Mr. Scott said. "With some effort, I fortunately have been able to accomplish that, and I have to thank God for that. Most ink makers don't understand the resin side, and I've been able to put everything together."
Because of his experience on the additives side, Mr. Scott and his team enjoy developing customized inks for their customers. Their experience allows them to create inks for virtually every market, from offset to packaging, and water-based to energy curing. As a result, Scott Printing Ink is reaching new customers and finding new opportunities.
"We are diversified. Our core markets are sheetfed and heatset inks, and we have opportunities in water-based and UV screen," Mr. Scott added. "Packaging is also a good market for us. We are getting our first orders, and we are hoping to grow our company. I see 2013 as being a really exciting year for us."

Gold IN TASMANIA
The Early Discoveries
As far back as the early '1840's Gold was discovered "by Europeans" in Tasmania, but very little attention was paid to the metal by them until Interest was aroused by the fabulous tales of fortunes drifting through from the Californian diggings and later Victorian Diggings and the prospecting knowledge gained thorough faster overland communications and improved shipping.
The history of Gold mining in Tasmania has been that of spasmodic excitement, during which some large sums of money have been embarked on tempting ventures which have lured speculators from near and far, followed by long and dreary Intervals of depression. Now the outer fringe of another "revival" has been reached. Old gold fields are being scratched over again, and prospectors are also out in other localities where indications of formations are likely to lead to reefs. The far "West Coast", where Osmiridium In places is associated with Gold In rivers and creeks, has its quota of searchers.
A couple of assigned servants employed as shepherds on. the Tullochgorum Estate, near Fingal. it was said, they brought in a few specks of Gold, and offered to prospect the ravines of Tower Hill, a short distance away, if they were relieved of their jobs, and found In rations. This was agreed to, and a couple of dwts (pennyweight's) of Gold were brought in fortnightly when further rations were drawn. This went on for some, time,and the regularity in the weights of the Gold caused some suspicion. It then leaked out that instead of dwts. many ounces of alluvial Gold were being won. It seems astounding that the discovery was not followed up, but it was not until 1851 that miners were actually engaged in searching for the precious yellow metal in the narrow valleys which descend from the south-east face of Tower Hill. Alluvial mining in this locality met with indifferent success, but in 1858 a great stimulus was Imparted to quartz mining by the discovery of auriferous reefs at Mangana, and subsequently at the Black boy (Mathinna).The famous Black Boy rush set In. All the alluvial of Mathinna were worked, and some exceptionally rich finds were made. The Gold was course, and at times nuggets of good size were obtained. When the alluvial flats where considered to have been worked out many of the miners left for the other fields which had sprung up at Nine-Mile Springs (Lefroy), Anderson's Creek, and Brandy Creek (Beaconsfield), Waterheuse, Warrentinna, the Hellyer, the Den, and elsewhere. But some remained at Mathinna to pay attention to the lodes from which the alluvial had been shed.
The discovery of the Miner's Dream reef at Mathinna, a short distance from the New Golden Gate (the latter mine yielding Gold of the value of £883,071, and paying shareholders £11 2s for each 10s share), after the spot had been tramped over for years, is interesting. A prospector told his mate one morning that he had had a dream that he had discovered a lode close to the Golden Gate workings. He gave the exact locality and after some persuasion his mate joined him in the search. Sure enough' just below the surface the lode was found. About 140 oz. of Gold, valued at £4 oz was taken out. Subsequently a syndicate took over the area, a company was formed, and a line battery installed, but the Gold petered out when shareholders had received only a little return for their outlay.
The Lisle field, about 20 miles from Launceston, where Gold was discovered by the Bessell Bros? at the end of 1878, has baffled the prospector, and the mining expert alike. Over 250,000 oz. of alluvial Gold, or, roughly, £1,000,000 worth was obtained from an area not exceeding a mile and a half square. The remarkable feature of the field is that no reefs have been found either in the valley or in the surrounding hills. That the parent reefs which shed the alluvial will be discovered ls in the minds of nearly everyone whe has worked on the field. 'Several schemes have been attempted and some big money spent, but the source of the alluvial remains unsolved. The Lisle field-was very active for three or four years, having a population of close on 3,000, the township, consisting of a number of stores, four hotels, several private schools, three churches, etc. the alluvial began dropping off, and with the Temora rush in New South Wales, Lisle became practically deserted. however, now there is a good deal of prospecting going on, and some mining men from the East are carrying out a big sluicing scheme in the Ringarooma, Gladstone and Pioneer areas.
To throw away dirty yellow metal as worthless and then to subsequently discover that he hud been handling heavy nuggets of Gold was the experience of John Gardener, near the Tamar. It was in 1847,
and he was employed by" Mr. Robert Doolittle at the Tamar lime works at Beaconsfield, a short distance from where the famous Tasmanian mine, which yielded over £3,000,000 worth of Gold, and was for many years located. the lime quarries became flooded, and Gardener was engaged in sinking a shaft for the purpose of putting down pumps. While so employed he came upon several pieces of coarse looking yellow metal, some of lt weighing about 41b, which he threw out of the hole. He did not know what It was. nor did anyone else when he showed it to them, considering it other than some worthless stuff. Nuggets of Gold were unheard of in these days,' the virgin metal being usually spoken of as Gold dust. And lt was never suspected by Gardener or his associates that the stuff was so plentiful as found by them, it was of little if any value. The shaft was sunk to a depth of 25ft. to 30ft., but the object for which it was put down had to be abandoned, owing to the fact that water came in too fast to enable the men to work. On the discovery of Gold in Victoria Mr. Gardener proceeded to that colony, and there for the first time his eyes were opened. he saw Gold in the quarts! and recognised that he had been shoveling the almost pure metal Into the River Tamar. Most positively in the same spot the Dally Brother discovered the famous Tasmania reef later on. This was one of the best Gold producers In the Southern Hemisphere from 1887 till it first closed because of ground water inundation. Although equipped with the most powerful pumps known, the water could not be controlled, but mine experts have expressed the opinion that as much Gold remains In the workings as was taken out, a scheme in which the hydro-electric power will take another important part is being evolved to again tackle the reefs.
As a Gold producer, the Lefroy field,
discovered in the 70's, was the richest In Tasmania. Like most Goldfields, it was first opened as an alluvial diggings, and though this branch has never been of importance compared with the reefing, a certain amount of lt has been done more or less contonuously, and a good deal of Gold has been raised. Practically all the work has been shallow diggings. Companies sprang up like mushrooms, notations being made in many instances
on what should be in the ground but was not. Although many speculators in thc "wild" cats" were' badly bitten,, The successful mines paid handsomely at about £7 million Pounds Sterling worth of gold.
The art of using a divining rod for discovering something hidden in the earth is of Immemorial antiquity, and Is now being used in parts of Northen Tasmania in prospecting for Gold. Its use in this direction was applled by prospectors for minerals in the Hartz Mountains in Germany. Many present day
prospectors, however, are very sceptical to its powers of indicating the presence of metals in the earth.
old-timers say it was tried on this field and that, 40 years ago, and they have heard nothing of it turning out a success. But there no getting away from the fact that where Divining has been brought into use at Beaconsfield, Lefroy, Karoola and Mathinna and encouraging prospects have been obtained in the shafts sunk. Not too long for the detection of Gold has the divining rod been used. Mr. Clark of Launceston; when in his spare time is assisting prospecting parties here. Before coming to Tasmania he was attached to Scotland Yard to assist with the rod in unraveling crime scenes'

Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday that the United States would not leave the Syrian opposition "dangling in the wind" about American support for its democratic cause.
"We are determined to change the calculation on the ground for President [Bashar] al-Assad," Mr. Kerry said.
Note the words "on the ground." His comment hints at a major shift in President Obama's strategy toward Syria. On Thursday in Rome, some 100 nations that back regime change in Damascus will meet to decide how to increase their influence in the nearly two-year-long conflict in which neither side is winning.
Because of lack of direct intervention, the US and other countries are losing leverage with the opposition umbrella group, the Syrian National Coalition. And radical Islamic groups are gaining support. Pressure is mounting on the US to provide at least defensive military equipment, such as body armor, night vision goggles, and military vehicles.
If Mr. Obama moves toward providing such aid directly to rebels, he would enter a rabbit hole of moral choices. What if certain rebels have slaughtered pro-Assad civilians? What if they use such equipment for that purpose again? What if they pass US equipment to terrorist groups?
Such issues mean that Obama must make it clear to the American people that the US is engaging with possibly unsavory people merely as a way to guide events toward a positive outcome. His tactics may be morally uncertain but his goal must not be.
To be sure, not doing more to oust Mr. Assad has its own moral dilemma. More than 70,000 people have been killed since the uprising began. Assad has had ample opportunity to step down. The US and other nations have backed numerous diplomatic initiatives. Now Obama seems ready to try "hold your nose" diplomacy by backing carefully selected rebels.
The US is hardly new to such morally ambiguous tactics. In 2005, the US worked with Sunni tribal leaders in Iraq to end their support of Al Qaeda. Washington also engaged political leaders of the Irish Republican Army to bring peace to Northern Ireland. In 1980, the US voted to seat the Khmer Rouge at the United Nations. It held talks in 1995 with Serbia's Slobodan Milosevic – in Ohio. Franklin Roosevelt had to deal with Joseph Stalin, and Richard Nixon with Mao Zedong.
In such cases, the intent is to end violence, not broaden it, and to extend freedom, not restrict it. The main strength of the US in the world has been its moral standing. To enter into a temporary alliance with questionable groups must be done carefully.
As Portia says in Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice," "How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world."
Doing nothing in Syria to directly end the fighting has become an immoral choice. Assad is even raining down Scud missiles on civilians in the city of Aleppo. Now, if the US provides military equipment to rebels who are the "good guys," it is doing something. In this case, it is the higher moral right.
This may be "realism" in foreign policy but it must be done to uplift the moral behavior of rebels clearly in favor of democracy.

In the thick of a troubling offseason for the New England Patriots, the team has encountered more bad news.
Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard was arrested and cited for driving under the influence, then released, Lincoln (Neb.) Police Department spokeswoman Katie Flood told NFL.com and NFL Network on Thursday morning.
The Omaha World-Herald first reported the news.
Dennard, who was alone in the vehicle, was stopped just before 2 a.m. CT on Thursday, after a sergeant with the Lincoln Police Department observed a red Honda Accord sedan straddling lane lines.
Upon contact, Dennard emitted an odor of alcohol and displayed signs of impairment, Flood said. Standardized field sobriety tests were conducted at the scene, and Dennard, 23, was transported to Cornhusker Place, a licensed substance abuse treatment center, for a formal breath test, but he would not provide an adequate breath sample for testing, according to Flood. He was not jailed.
Dennard also was cited for refusal of a chemical test and straddling lane lines, Flood said. Dennard has a court date scheduled for Aug. 12, and Flood added that the Lincoln City Attorney's Office will determine what charges Dennard will face, if any.
This isn't Dennard's first run-in with the law. Three months ago, he was sentenced to 30 days in jail and 24 months of probation after he was found guilty of felony assault on a police officer and resisting arrest in connection to an April 2012 incident. The judge in that case said she would permit Dennard to wait until March 1, 2014 to serve his sentence. It's unclear if this incident will alter that decision, but either way, Dennard faces the possibility of punishment from the NFL.
A seventh-round draft pick by the Patriots in 2012, Dennard slid down draft boards because of the incident with the police officer.
The Patriots took a gamble on Dennard, who is projected to start across from Aqib Talib this season. Now, in a summer filled with legal trouble for the Patriots after former tight end Aaron Hernandez was charged with first-degree murder, it will be interesting to see how the franchise ultimately responds to this latest disruption.
UPDATES: NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Friday, via a source who has heard specifics of Dennard's side of the incident, that Dennard attempted to blow for a Breathalyzer test at least twice. Each time, the attempt was not deemed to have been blown hard enough to meet officers' qualifications. That number was believed to be below the legal limit. He was not asked to take a blood test. Thus, he was described as not complying. The source told Rapoport the results of the field sobriety test did not indicate someone under the influence. Dennard did not "fail" it, he was told. In the police report, the outcome of the test is not noted, just that it occurred.
The Patriots released the following statement in response to Dennard's latest arrest: "The New England Patriots are extremely disappointed to learn of Alfonzo Dennard's arrest. We take this matter very seriously and are working to get more information on the incident."
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league "will look into it, as we would any such incident, but will not speculate on an outcome until all the facts are known."

In the advanced composition class I teach at La Salle University, I always assign an essay towards the end of the semester on whether or not a college education is worth it.
The question is always met eagerly by the students in my class. They're at the point when they're beginning to consider the question themselves. Many are juniors or graduating seniors facing a lifetime of student loan repayments of more than $100,000. They're considering a jump into the work force or a professionally mandated trip to graduate school for even more student loans.
How do you consider the return on investment? How valuable is the "college experience"? What are four years of good memories worth? And what impact does college really have on future earning potential?
Everywhere you look, there are cultural examples of great success despite a lack of college education. From Apple founder Steve Jobs and Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg to athletes like Kobe Bryant or music mogul Jay-Z.
Those questions were raised a few years ago by Peter Thiel, a founder of PayPal and the first outside investor in Facebook. Thiel made headlines around the world when he insisted that there is a higher education bubble, that college was currently overvalued and that rising tuitions – not unlike housing prices – were based on faith and an unquestioned acceptance of their necessity. Thiel established a fund at the time that paid brilliant teens $100,000 a year for two years to run a startup tech company instead of going to school.
In one way, Thiel is right. For some of us, college really would be a waste of money. Some kids are already capable and mature by the time they're 18 – certainly seasoned enough to thrive in a professional work environment I've had high school interns who are shockingly mature.
But how many of us have discovered our passions by the time we're 18? Not many. I know I hadn't. College certainly helped me find those things I did enjoy studying and then doing. And college absolutely made me better, not only at my craft but as a person as well.
Of course, those who agree with Thiel could argue that college – at tens of thousands of dollars a year – might not be the most economically sound way "to find yourself." And that's hard to argue against. If you took that money and put it into opening a business, you might be better off, especially if you have decided to find a frozen yogurt franchise rather than get your degree in early North American poetry written in Latin.
The fact remains,however, that for the rest of us, education is a fairly good measure of future success. The more education you have, the more you're likely to earn. And the benefits extend beyond that. The more education you have, the more likely your children are to do well in school.
In the end, there's no such thing as a sure bet. When you graduate from college, you won't find employers handing you jobs. You'll still need to work. And you'll still need some luck. A college education for most of us is simply pretty sound investment despite rising costs.
So the question really shouldn't be whether or not we should go to college. We all should. The question now should be: How do we make college affordable and available to everyone? That is a question that's not so easy to answer.

Remember George Strait's First No. 1 Single? [Listen]
It's the song that started it all for George Strait. Believe it or not, it actually took a few tries before the King nabbed his first No. 1 on the country charts. Fifty-nine others would follow during a 33-year (and counting) career. Do you remember which song hit the top of the charts first?
In the summer of 1982, "Fool Hearted Memory," the first release from the Strait From the Heart album, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. Released on May 27, 1982, the song peaked at No. 1 on Aug. 28. Before that, three others from the Strait Country album came close, including Strait's debut single, "Unwound."
Written by Byron Hill and Blake Mevis, the song tells the story of a man who just can't let go of a failed romance: "He's got a fool hearted memory / It won't let him see that she walked out the door / He's got a fool hearted memory / And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more."
The song also appeared on the soundtrack to the movie The Soldier, in which Strait had a part, and went on to win an ASCAP award as one of the most-played songs of 1982.
During his farewell Cowboy Rides Away tour, Strait put "Fool Hearted Memory" into the setlist, allowing fans to enjoy songs from his entire career, not just the most popular songs on the radio at the time. As of 2014, Strait has scored 60 No. 1 hits.

It's hard to have a worse reputation in tech than AT&T's.
As a result, people are always going to give the company a hard time for anything it does.
(And this hard time is often richly deserved. What kind of a jackass company threatens legal stuff at customers just for emailing the CEO?*)
But the telco's announcement this week that it's switching to metered data plans for its wireless customers -- and getting rid of all-you-can-eat iPad access -- was a rare bright spot. This was an important but delicate move to announce, and AT&T actually handled it pretty well.
AT&T's move was especially refreshing in contrast to the HORRIBLE job that Time Warner Cable did while testing metered broadband in 2009 -- a plan it eventually was forced to give up on.
The broader trend here is that Internet providers, which saw huge gains in the late 1990s and early 2000s by rolling out all-you-can-eat access, are inevitably going to roll back those pricing policies. Wireless -- where bandwidth is more scarce and more expensive -- is a logical place to start.
There are many ways to roll out this change, and AT&T has done a pretty good job.
- Most importantly, AT&T established fair new subscription terms: reasonable pricing, bandwidth caps, and overage charges. The only weak spot is that AT&T is having a hard time justifying its $20 surcharge for tethering, which does not include any more data.
- AT&T started by offering a way for most existing subscribers to SAVE money. AT&T offered a new plan that was half the price of the old plan, which more than half of its subscribers could already use to save money. (In theory, only 2% of its subscribers would have to pay more than they used to. That works out well for the other 98% of us.)
- It gave existing subscribers the opportunity to "grandfather" their current $30/month unlimited plans, even after they upgrade their accounts to a new iPhone this summer or extend their contract.
- It provided a variety of tools to let people see how much bandwidth they have been using and are currently using, to help plan which subscription they should purchase.
Yes, there has been some backlash to AT&T's efforts, as there seems to be any time an ISP messes with its business model. There seems to be a population of whiners who think they deserve to get everything for free, or that they're permanently entitled to the same pricing models they've grown accustomed to over the years. But there's no "right" to unlimited access. And this isn't a net neutrality issue. (Though it will disrupt some businesses, like mobile TV.)
Whether AT&T's pricing model works or not will be something the market determines. But AT&T has done a surprisingly good job with this effort so far.

* Update: AT&T has basically apologized for this incident.

What? End of Evangelion wasn't that bad. I mean it had this bit and this other cool bit.
Though this thread shouldn't be derailed into Evangelion.
As for MLP, I've heard good things about it, but I didn't believe it at the time. Though that video linked there would indicate it's not as bad as people would assume.

Sorry guys but every single one of the series I listed were pitched as "for children". The fact the writers snuck around that for the sake of homages and inside jokes for the adults was just a bonus. And no, I wasn't comparing the series as somehow equivalent but simply alluding to this fact.
My observance of MLP puts it closer to a G-rated version of Ren & Stimpy or crazier Power Puff Girls. For kids, but not so lobotomized that the parents won't have to bite on a towel to watch it (some of the other "kid's shows" are absolutely horrible).

I have no idea how that was pitched, but I would never claim B: TAS is for children (i.e. little kids)
anyway MLP is geared towards a young audience, but that doesn't really matter in regards to the show overall appeal and quality

Batman was in the lineup right after Animaniacs on weekday afternoons. Animaniacs was on after Tiny Toons. I don't remember what was on before that., though I think Power Rangers were on after Batman. I didn't care to watch that so my day ended with Batman. At least when they started on Fox Kids.

Really now.
The way you can look at is it that those shows and others made cartoons respectable again. Respectable for a wide age group of people to watch and be entertained by.
Because frankly before 1988, the only cartoon that anyone over the age of 13 would probably sit down and watch was the Bugs Bunny/ Road Runner show. Other than that cartoons were laaaaaaammmmeeeee. Overzealous parents groups and squemish pencil neck TV executives made cartoons to be the most purile, bland juvenile type of entertainment ever.

Never going to watch the show, but I can see why it can be fun for people.
What I am bothered with is, again as always, the 4chan material. ...Brohoof? Bronies? Thousands of meme based MLP-related pics on the internet forced down a person's throat? And then all the "extremist" fans get confused as to why this show has haters? Ugh...does this have to be the only recipe for popularity these days?
Same goes for Skyrim's "arrow to the knee", or planking for example. Some things are just so extremely stupid (mildly speaking)...it's unbelievable.

Bullwinkle tended to keep an older audiance, though maybe that was nostaligia of my parent's generation by the time I was seeing it.

Anyways I am an adult female fan of the series. What do I like about the show? Well I was impressed with the fact that the series is made up of a number of well written female characters (ignoring the fact that they are ponies) with distinct personalities, strengths and flaws and to me they never feel like stereotypes. It may not be the most amazing thing ever but overall it's a fun & solid series (although so far I preferred the 1st to the 2nd season).
I guess I am surprised that some anime fans are being so judgmental. I can understand if a series is not to your taste (we can't all like the same thing) but why do people care if others enjoy the series? Would you like being judged for watching anime? There is certainly a lot of good anime out there for children too.
I don't limit myself by target demographic. If it tells a good story with good characters: then adult, kid, male, female target audience (I really don't care!)

In fact, most of Hanna Barbera's output was, despite often poor production values, watchable by all ages. Think Top Cat, Yogi Bear or Wacky Races.
There was, however, a period in the 70s and 80s where the animation industry dived. It also coincided with gap between Disney's Golden Age, and it's Renaissance beginning with the Little Mermaid, the films that Disney produced between 1970 and 1988 have with few exceptions proved to be as iconic as the films before and after. Almost every Disney animated feature prior and after this time proved to be extremely succesful and iconic, whereas during that period only a 1/3 have had long lasting success. Since 1998 or so Disney has again had a period of poor releases.
Disney may be getting it's mojo back though, after a few recent succesful releases. Only time will tell though.

There was a lot of anime that came over during the 70s and early 80s. probably for reasons to do with less American animation studios I guess. Or maybe due to the increase in the number of channels over that period of time. I caught the tale end of this with Star Blazers, Voltron, Robotech, and Battle of the Planets along with reruns of Speed Racer. Then they started getting some shows that were produced in Japan for American television (Transformers for example). Then at somepoint in the late 80s I guess there was a heavy anti-Japanese movement (likely around the time Japan's economy was booming and threatening to overshadow the United States) and cartoons shifted again. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, because I seem to recall less cartoons being on the air in the very late 1980s, but then watching stuff again by the early 1990s .
Maybe there was less on after or before school those years. I know I had stuff to do on many Saturday mornings those years. Looking at the list of cartoon as presented by Wikipedia, I remember at least one cartoon from each of those years (save 1991). Around 1990 they all seem to be Disney though, until 1992-93 when it returns to what was Fox Kids at the time.

yeah.. I grew up with Gigantor, Astroboy, and Speed Racer in the 60s/early70s (in addition to the pre-(THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!) Looney Toons on Saturday morning.
The anti-violence and MustHaveAMessage bubblewrap phase after that pretty much destroyed much of animation in the US.

Keep in mind that originally animation in the US was not targeted at kids at all. It wasn't really targeted at any audience. In fact early animation was even subjected to the Hays Production Code just like early films.
Betty Boop even caught the wrath of the censors.

For the first time in my life I will weigh less at the end of a year than I did at the beginning.
For the first time in my life I will weigh less at the end of a year than I did at the beginning.
Even in my healthy Navy days I gained weight year on end. Then marrying my wife � a short order cook by trade and dessert baker by hobby � didn�t help shrink my expanding waistline.
At 39, I�m halfway through life, assuming I don�t get hit by a beer truck or have a heart attack.
That thought got me thinking in late 2011. I have young children and sincerely desire to see them grow older. That seemed unlikely then. I had two bad habits that were working against my future: I eat too much and exercise too little.
That had to change in order for me to survive.
I�ve made some decent attempts over the years, all of them sputtering out after a week or two.
Inspired by coworkers who were really getting into shape, I finally took up a friend on an offer that, for the sake of my children, I couldn�t refuse.
Enter Ed Brown. The sheriff has been after me for years to join him in exercising.
If anyone could help someone get into better shape, I figured it was Ed Brown. The strapping young farm boy turned barrel-chested elder lawman once won a wrestling match with a gorilla by default. That�s right, many years ago some guy with a gorilla was offering a cash prize for anyone who could last a round. The ape�s owner got one look at a young Ed Brown and refused to let him in the ring with his grappling gorilla.
Far-fetched, but true.
With that in mind, I began in January 2012 meeting the sheriff at Courts Plus three times a week.
The first day I was worn out before we ever made it to the weight room. The 10-minute warm up on an elliptical machine had me sucking air and ready to pass out cold. The second day I did slightly better. By the second week I was hitting a groove and beginning to feel lighter on my feet.
There�s no way to measure exactly how much weight I was loosing because before I started going to the gym I made it a point to avoid scales. Let�s leave it at this: My pants size has dropped from a tight 56 to loose a 46.
Other benefits began to show in a couple of months. The acid reflux that I had been dealing with after every meal went away and has never returned. My usually sore back and knees haven�t hurt since March. And my wife says I snore less.
The time I was putting in to swimming at the gym meant I was briefly detached from my cellphone, which was good for my piece of mind.
I had to buy an entire new wardrobe. I traded in my loud flower-pattern attire for pullover dress shirts.
In June I moved to the Southwest area which made it more convenient to work out in the shack next to the sheriff�s house. He calls it a pack house; it�s more like a torture chamber stacked with what looks like Soviet-era bench presses and weight lifting contraptions of every sort.
Add the six miles a day of bicycle riding we began in July and I was in for a hot summer. But mission accomplished: My blood pressure is down, my man boobs have shrunk and I�m spry on my feet.
I�ve got a long way to go and I�ve slacked off over the holidays, but now I know I�m going to be around to get it done.
So in January I plan to redouble my efforts at the gym and make 2013 even better.
I plan on being around a long time for my kids; all I have to do now is watch out for that beer truck.

Wash. Times blamed Va. budget deficit on "social welfare," but state's programs are among country's least-funded
An October 14 Washington Times editorial supporting Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Jerry Kilgore's pledge to oppose tax increases misleadingly blamed Virginia's budget deficit on a "two-decade long windfall for social welfare programs and pork projects." But funding for social welfare programs in Virginia in recent years can hardly be described as a windfall.
As The Washington Post noted in an August 6, 2001, editorial, over the course of the preceding two decades, Virginia's state and local taxes as a percentage of personal income dropped from 39th to 42nd among states, which limited the state's funding of social programs:
The low tax level has had a predictable effect. State education spending is below the national average. Per-pupil spending in grades K through 12 is nearly 10 percent below the national figure, and in recent years has been allowed to decline in real terms.
State health and welfare spending as a percentage of personal income is below not just the national average but the level in almost every other state in the South. Virginia prides itself on its higher education system, but its spending even on that is no more than average in these relative terms. In all these areas -- public education, higher education, health and welfare -- poorer states such as Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama make a greater effort -- meaning they divert a larger share of income to the public purpose -- than does Virginia.
Further, a study by the Public Policy Institute of New York State reported that in 1997, per capita state and local welfare spending in Virginia ranked 45th among the 50 states.
The Times editorial also suggested that a tax package pushed by Gov. Mark R. Warner (D), who was elected in 2001, was the only measure employed to combat Virginia's large budget deficit, when in fact, the state cut billions of dollars from its budget in 2002. Passed by the Virginia legislature in May 2004, the package increased the sales tax and the tax on cigarettes and eliminated some corporate tax breaks [Washington Post, 5/21/04]. However, those tax increases came after Warner cut spending on social programs to reduce the deficit two years earlier without raising taxes. The economic recession in 2001, driven by the decline of the technology sector, greatly hampered Virginia's economy, which relied heavily on the technology industry. In March 2002, the state "approved new spending plans ... that cut social programs and other services while increasing fees and college tuitions to close a budget gap estimated at $ 3.8 billion for the next 2 1/2 years" [Washington Post, 3/16/02].
From the October 14 Washington Times editorial:
Messrs. Warner and Kaine like to say that their tax increase restored the state's fiscal health, as if it was the only available option. But when revenues were projected to be $1 billion higher than expected, instead of returning to Virginians their tax-dollars, further spending projects were the end result. This is Virginia's underlying spending problem: A two-decade long windfall for social welfare programs and pork projects have made it impossible to pay for necessary expenditures like much-needed transportation improvements without raising taxes. Buttressed by tax-happy Republicans, what's to keep Mr. Kaine from altering the Warner record?
