Um. What can I say? It was a busy summer? No. It wasn't. It was a pretty laidback summer. It was a good summer. I just didn't have much to blog about..... or I didn't feel like blogging.
I still kinda don't, to be honest. But the school year usually brings about issues and conversations and happenings which are blog-relevant, so we'll just give it a minute, eh?
Basically, I'm back and work and dead happy about that. I'm pathetic during vacation. My mood has increased ten-fold since being back in a regular teaching environment with all of my coworkers around to banter with throughout the day. HT managed to call me on the last day of my vacation and completely ruin everything, only for me to be a bit cheerfully passive aggressive and get everything put back to right yet again.
The way I've come to think of her is.... there's this Dorothy Parker short story, right? It's called "Too Bad" and it's about a seemingly perfect couple's marriage falling apart, to the dismay of their peers who can't understand what could have possibly gone wrong. But what went wrong was that they were so ordinarily happy on the surface, with all kinds of boredom and restrained resentment boiling under the surface. Pretty standard suburban subject matter. But the point is, there's this scene near the opening where the wife is wandering around the house trying to give it "feminine touches". She's moving things from the mantel to the coffee table, adjusting the angle of flowers and lamps. She's trying to make a difference in something that isn't even a problem to begin with, just to feel as though she has the talent to do so. Just to feel somehow useful. But what she realizes, in the end, is that everything already looks best the way that it is (the way that the maid has it arranged).
Do you see where I'm going with this?
It's annoying. But so far it's been manageable. And getting a lot easier now that I've realized that she is, at least, not stubborn about it.
Anyway. That's all I've got for you right now. Obviously I spent a large chunk of my vacation time reading in cafes. What a crashing bore, eh? Fuck you anyhow. At least I didn't blog about it....
Back in Black.

HT sounds like the kind of person that should be actively encouraged to play with electricity with wet hands. Why do bosses more often than not lack the ability to do their job?

Physical Therapist Assistant
2-year AAS degree
Physical therapist assistants (PTAs) work closely with physical therapists (PTs) to provide services to people with physical disabilities. Patient treatments may include strengthening, flexibility, aerobic conditioning, exercise, balance activities, functional training, gait training, modalities and other therapeutic interventions. Patient and caregiver education is provided by PTAs and PTs.
The primary location for Physical Therapist Assistant students will be the Linn County Regional Center in Hiawatha.
Visit www.apta.org for more information or to explore more about becoming a PTA.
Students in this program may be eligible to have half their tuition paid for by the Kibbie Grant.
The Physical Therapist Assistant program at Kirkwood Community College is accredited by the
Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE).
Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE)

Individuals needing to contact the program/institution directly, please call 319-398-5566
PTA graduates qualify to take the licensure exam given by the Federation of State Boards in Physical Therapy. Licensure is granted by the Iowa Board of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Examiners. Most states, including Iowa, require a license to practice as a PTA. Annual continuing education hours are required to maintain a license.
The PT performs an initial patient evaluation and identifies patient problems and goals, then outlines a plan of care. The PTA assists the PT by carrying out all or part of the plan of care, monitoring the patient's progress and documenting the care.
Students have two short-term and two long-term clinical experiences that allow them to gain hands-on experience with a variety of patients. Clinic sites are located across Iowa and in neighboring states. This program has mandatory background checks and other compliance items that need to be completed for clinic participation. This program begins each year in the fall.

SR+ Battery Size
SR+ Battery Size
The originally planned SR was to have a 50 kWh capacity. I've heard/seen that the SR+ is 55 kWh.
According to this site, the 2019 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus (SR+) has a 62 kWh battery capacity.
My mid-range has a 62wkh battery, so a SR plus is locked 55wkh?
Who knows? Coming from a fan, I will say the lack of specificity is one of the most frustrating things that Tesla unfortunately presents. They could do a better job not being so vague on the nitty gritty. It's been argued that's it's a 50 kWh, ~55kWh and 62kWh, all pretty convincingly. For example, I found this:
This claims it's roughly 55kWh battery. But the theory that it's a maxed out 50 also makes sense. And of course the above mentioned link is saying 62. So long story short, unless Elon says what it is, it's all conjecture to me!
Just wait until someone does a tear down of a salvage and counts the cells. Then all will be revealed.
I feel like we should post this to Rich Rebuilds if he ever gets to a M3 to rebuild!
This is very important for a couple reasons. I have a SR+ and if it is software locked at 55kWh but capable of 62kWh, I could charge closer to 100% without battery degradation. Plus Elon might upgrade my range/power at some point. And if my range drops significantly 7-10 years from now, Tesla could just upgrade me for free and not have to pay for new battery under warrantee.
This is exactly how they handle warranty by limiting 100% charge to 90% or some other number.
When you see your 80% charge drop one time, and some other time it comes back 2-3 miles, its because software auto unlocks capacity as its lost.
So contrary to the belief, you are losing range constantly, hence the buffer of additional KW for warranty purposes.
This is physics and software not magic. (To those believing they gain their range back by full cycling.)
55 * 0.9 = 49.5
One reason that Tesla does not want to specify the kWh of the battery is they want to be able to change it as needed without upgrading the model. The SR+ has a 240 mile range no matter what size the battery is.
Has anyone looked at the label on the battery pack on your 3 SR/SR+? In the past, it always showed the pack kW and voltage, regardless of any software limitations (at least for the standard sizes in the S/X). Here's an article on the S battery and images where the label is: https://www.teslarati.com/decoding-tesla-battery-pack-version/
I can't remember if the 3 label is in the same location.
I can't find any labels under my car.
It's kind of crazy that we still don't know what kind of battery the SR+ has?
There is much confusion here, mostly because of the difference between rated capacity and usable capacity. There can be a 10-20% difference between the 2 numbers. Rated capacity is when you look at the mAh of the cells and the nominal voltage and multiply the two to get a Wh/cell and then multiply by the number of cells. This is the theoretical maximum capacity. But using full capacity would deteriorate the battery way too fast, so all manufacturers limit the charge window so you battery will never reach true 0% and true 100% SoC. The Zoe I had some years ago, I calculated the usable capacity from the dash to be 23.5 kWh (in summer). But according to the specs it had a 27 kWh battery. Usually, if a car manufacturer states the capacity of the battery, it is rated capacity.
240 (miles)/4.133 kWH (242Wh per mile)= 58kWh. So doesn't 60kWh sound about mathematically correct.
I'm now convinced the usable size is 54.5.
The rating is 227 wh per mile. That means to get to 240 you need 54.5 of usable battery.
Total size? Who knows.
@sl7vk - this confirms your suspicions. It says ~54.5 kWh
I measured the drive capacity of my LR RWD 3 as 73 kWh, also measured a model X 100D to have 88 kWh of usable capacity.
That's the number I get using the EPA numbers.
Look like you found ur crew. Keep it here.
Multiplying the Battery Specify Energy (Wh/kg) by the Total Battery Weight (kg) yields:
SR+ = 144 Wh/kg * 378 kg = 54.432 kWh
MR = 146 Wh/kg * 435 kg = 63.510 kWh
LR = 150 Wh/kg * 480 kg = 72.000 kWh
@dhui777 .... but I can put 75 kWh into my LR, based on extrapolating from a very low battery to 100%
I took the numbers from page 17-19 of the document posted by coffeegrinder above:
I was surprised to get only 72 kWh for long range M3 as well. Anyway, the battery capacity for SR+ seems to be about 55 kWh.
I'm curious if the new SR actually has the same battery as the SR+. The SR+ sold as an SR was software locked but those of us who bought and off-menu SR and received and SR might have received a smaller battery. I know my SR is missing the sub-woofer.

Protesters try to spoil swanky party for ex-CPUC head
Some 250 guests packed a downtown San Francisco ballroom on Thursday night to honor Michael Peevey, the embattled former California Public Utilities Commission president who is under investigation for possible corruption at the agency. Outside, a dozen protesters tried to spoil the fun.
With the California flag flapping above the entrance, guests arriving at the Montgomery Street fundraiser for UC Berkeley's public policy school were greeted by the protesters, who shouted things like "Crooks honoring crooks!" and "Jail Peevey!"
The 76-year-old Peevey has come under fire for troubles that have plagued the state agency over the last four years of his tenure, which included the deadly explosion of a Pacific Gas and Electric Co. pipeline in San Bruno in 2010. Last month, state investigators searched the Los Angeles County home of Peevey and his wife, Democratic state Sen. Carol Liu, for evidence of improper ex parte communications, bribery and obstruction of justice.
On Thursday, state Sen. Jerry Hill criticized UC Berkeley for being involved in the event, saying, "Peevey is at the center of multiple, converging scandals surrounding the natural gas explosion in San Bruno that killed eight of my constituents and the shutdown of the San Onofre nuclear plant in Southern California.
"Accepting money from an event honoring Michael Peevey sends the wrong message to your students and alumni," he wrote.
While guests were harangued by anti-Peevey protesters as they arrived, inside the $250-a-plate gala dinner the mood was much different, according to Don Solem, an event organizer.
"There is not an empty seat," Solem said. "Most people have talked about how Peevey did tremendous work for the state in terms of alternative energy, cleaning up power plants, renewable, getting rid of coal, and helping to resolve the energy crisis."
He added: "These are all people who believe very strongly that he was one of California's greatest leaders."
Protesters argued that the A-list dinner, which former San Francisco Mayor and Chronicle columnist Willie Brown emceed, was meant to intimidate Peevey's critics as well as law enforcement officers looking into alleged misdeeds.
"It is a show of establishment force to send the message out that if you take him down you're going to have to deal with us," said attorney Mike Aguirre, who is suing Peevey and the CPUC. "That is why we are here to send a message out to everybody involved in trying to bring justice to the situation."

I've been looking quite a bit and it's near impossible to find a 340ohm resistor though the 330ohm ones are easily available. Would that be ok as a replacement?
Btw, I'm also concerned about my breadboard and breakaway male connector not being RoHS compliant. Are there any precautions I should be taking?

Patrick, Victor, and I (Joseph) just wrapped up day two of our five-day West Texas tour, an enjoyable journey thus far.
Day one got off to a rocky start outside of Marble Falls (damn you, GPS!), but we quickly recovered and continued on to El Paso. Highlights included meeting a dog-showing poodle peddler from Washington state, swimming in the spring-fed pool at Balmorhea State Park, and revisiting some of the houses we grew up in.
We stayed in El Paso for day two, traveling around the rapidly-growing city and its surrounding communities. We started off with Uncle Hiram in his Canutillo bakery, then stopped by Franklin Mountains State Park on the way out to Fort Bliss. Following Fort Bliss, we stopped by the Charcoaler for some burgers (El Paso's finest) and continued on to the missions in Ysleta and Socorro.
The three of us will continue our trip by visiting Marfa, Alpine, and Fort Davis. We plan to head to San Angelo for day four and back home on day five. Check back for updates during and after our trip!

My philosophy is that our bodies are a most precise instrument of communication between the conscious and the subconscious minds. If we pay attention to what is happening on all levels—body, mind, emotions, energetic—we can have all the information needed to make corrections and adjustment, to create sustainable happiness and wellness.
Gestalt Therapy, developed by Fritz Perls and others, is a practice of acute mindfulness applied within the therapy setting.
Throughout the session, awareness is drawn to the present experience, both for the client and for the therapist, on all levels mentioned above. As the discussion continues around the topic of the session, the participants engage in "high noticing" of the internal responses experienced. When combined with hypnotherapy, this is a powerful protocol for responding immediately to the signals produced through the wisdom of the subconscious mind—and making the desired changes and corrections.
On a deeper level, it is engaging with and responding to the intuitive wisdom of the higher consciousness.

PolicyPulse Tests
The following piece first appeared in The Dallas Morning News.
Dallas Morning News, dallasnews.com, June 27, 2012
In the Mobile Age, people have become adept at using phones and other devices to search for information, reserve a lunch table or buy shoes.
Now, Dallas startup PolicyPulse aims to use its Web app to empower residents to participate in civic issues in their neighborhood, strengthen community ties and hold government more accountable.
PolicyPulse plans to publish the voting agendas of city governments and public agencies, let citizens share their opinions and notify city leaders, using social gaming techniques. Such agendas are open to the public, but many people don't know that or don't know how to access them, said co-founder Andres Ramos.
"We want this to be a new way in which people govern their neighborhoods," said Ramos, an East Los Angeles native who after college joined Teach For America in San Juan, Texas, in one of the nation's poorest counties. "We want to turn regular people into citizen lobbyists."
PolicyPulse just began a pilot test of the second phase of its Web app, starting with the Dallas Independent School District. A full launch is scheduled for July 11. Ramos hopes to develop a mobile app, too.
People are increasingly using Web and mobile apps to strengthen their civic engagement, take part in cultural conversations and express political views. New York residents have reported street problems on mobile devices to city agencies, and a project in San Francisco spread information about sexual health issues via text messages. Internationally, people from Egypt to Spain have used mobile phones to organize rallies or expose government abuse of citizens.
In May, PolicyPulse tested part of its platform at "From Your Block to the Boardroom," a Southern Methodist University symposium on the community's role in public education. Nearly one-third of the 300 SMU attendees registered to use policypulse.com.
"Our goal was to find a way to start a conversation here and continue," said Candy Crespo, assistant director of SMU's Cary M. Maguire Center for Ethics and Public Responsibility, a sponsor of the forum. "The platform with the community posing and answering questions was fantastic."
The latest pilot program is focused on specific agenda items, such as approvals of budgets, contracts and software purchases, related to today's DISD board meeting. PolicyPulse describes each proposal, its financial impact (if any) and other details.
Here's how it works: PolicyPulse highlights public agenda items up for a separate vote. Users can voice how they feel about an issue and interact with others. PolicyPulse aggregates responses using a crowd-tilt method, meaning the site will notify officials after 20 people or more vote one way.
The platform will be free to users. Revenue will come from sponsorships, analytics and group licensing.
Last year, Ramos and friend Krishanu Sengupta, an SMU law student and a former Houston City Hall fellow, came up with the idea for PolicyPulse. They brought in local entrepreneur Miles Bacon as a partner.
PolicyPulse got into Tech Wildcatters' current 12-week startup camp, which included $25,000 in seed capital.
The partners also have invested up to $10,000 in the venture.
Similar startups have attracted the attention of venture capitalists. Last year, New Haven, Conn.-based SeeClickFix landed $1.5 million and Los Angeles-based CitySourced received $1.33 million.
"People are already comfortable building a social brand online," Ramos said. "Now they're becoming comfortable building a sociopolitical brand."

Study: Early Attachment Helps Teens Make Better Decisions
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, teen smoking rates in Tennessee are above 20 percent, but a study recently published in the "Journal of Child and Adolescent Mental Health" finds that early childhood bonds with at least one family member could help reverse that statistic and help young people become healthy, functioning adults.
Dr. Kate Green, who specializes in child development research, says the study confirms how important a stable, loving relationship can be in a child's development.
"We've known this for a long time. When they are connected to at least one person within the family and have that strong attachment figure, they have better outcomes across the board."
The study found that, compared to their peers, children with strong, supportive relationships had a substantially reduced risk for mental health concerns (such as suicidal thoughts) in adulthood and a lower risk for alcohol and drug disorders. These individuals also made better career choices by age 30.
Green says an early, strong attachment can even help teenagers make healthy lifestyle choices, such as whether or not they decide to smoke, or choosing to be in a strong relationship.
"They get into trouble less and have fewer teenage pregnancies. Even up into their twenties - when they're getting into their first big relationships with other people, those are more successful."
Tobacco statistics are available at www.cdc.gov.

4 Natural Ways to Clean your Fruits and Vegetables
Long gone are the days of simply washing your produce under running water and popping it into your mouth. In the toxic world that we live in, it takes more than just a quick visit from H2O to wash away the grim and chemicals that are present. Even the organic varieties should be meticulously cleansed, just because they are free of pesticides doesn't make them truly clean. Below are four easy ways to clean your fruits and veg.
4 Natural Ways to Clean your Fruits and Vegetables:
Homemade Vegetable Wash: Pure lemon juice and raw apple cider vinegar contains natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. When used together in this wash, they have the ability to kill germs and bacteria without altering the taste of your crops. In a clean spray bottle, mix together 1 tablespoon of organic lemon juice with 2 tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar and one cup of water. Shake and then spray all over your produce. Rinse with water and then consume.
Let you Produce Soak: Leafy greens are particularly dirty because they tend to collect dirt. Produce such as kale, spinach, chards, herbs and celery should be washed by soaking. Place your leafy greens in a bowl filled with cold water and let it soak for a few minutes; this will loosen all the dirt, allowing it to sink in the bottom. After a few minutes, rinse and proceed to cooking.
Soap it Up: Some produce are sold with a waxy film on their skins. In these cases, a soap wash is the ideal option. With the aid of a natural, mildly abrasive sponge and a natural food safe soap (pure vegetable glycerin is ideal) wash your produce by scrubbing the skin softly, and then rinse with water.
Store Bought Washes: There are natural washes available, specifically made to clean produce. Make sure to choose a veggie wash made with only natural ingredients because it makes no sense to wash your produce with synthetic chemicals.
Enviro-One Fruit & Vegetable Wash: There are many natural fruit and veggie washes available in your locals store, specifically made to clean produce. But the most natural, most powerful cleaner on the market is the Enviro-One Fruit and Vegetable Wash. It contains no harmful synthetic chemicals. It also remove harmful pesticide, fungicide & herbicide residues, waxes, oils and deadly bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella.
Taking the time to properly wash your fruits and vegetables before you consume will cut down on the risk of illness. At first the process may seem time consuming, however, once you get into the habit of washing your produce, doing so will become second nature.

Inanna House is an amazing organization, and I'm honored to be March 2013's Artist of the Month.
They're doing amazing work for people living with Lyme, a community which I once resisted considering myself a part of. Now, I accept the idea of chronic, but not as a life sentence, or a weakness, or a cosmic joke handed down from the universe from my mother. I only got a 4 month break from disease in my life, watching her disintegrate from MS. The reason I began the MS project is because I had symptoms that I assumed were that; I was also told by all the specialists and doctors I saw it was all in my head. There was nothing wrong with me.
So I started this project to 'cure' myself. If it was psychological, I'd use art to heal the brain and the spirit doing bizarre things to me. If it was MS, maybe I'd learn how to cope. It was neither, and after 13 months of disability, pain, invalidation and tears, I was diagnosed with Lyme.
I still have it, will always, it hides in my cells and on some of the worse days, takes over. And there's no saying when and if I'll ever feel 'good' again. Good is relative. I'm not the athlete I was, or the energetic gadfly, or the person who trusted the medical instution implicitly, or the person who had savings.
But somehow, I'm better now. I have friends who stuck by me, the love of my life. I followed the career I really wanted and I started this project, which heals and humbles me.
So that's good.

A man was attacked and left with serious injuries at Jock's Burn in Carluke late on Wednesday afternoon.
Now, detectives from Wishaw have issued a description of a man they are looking for in connection with the attack.
The assault happened on August 31 at about 4.40pm.

How to download the library
The library can be downloaded from this git repository by using the following command
[prettify]git clone git://github.com/maropu/integer_encoding_library.git[/prettify]
We provide several datasets for testing the library. Each datasets consists in a collection of posting lists obtained by indexing collections of web pages. We excluded from the datasets a list whenever its length is smaller than 33 elements or larger than 200,000,000 elements.
Each dataset is compressed by using Delta coding. After having "untarred" the archive, the collection of lists can be decompressed by means of our decoder (see the tutorial for further instructions). The decompress consists in the concatenation of lists. Each lists is a sequence of integers sorted in increasing order and represented in binary by using 32 bits per element. Each lists starts with its length written in binary by using 32 bits. Code in encoders.cpp shows how to process a (decompressed) dataset.
The following are the currently available datasets.
- Gov2.sort is formed by posting lists for an index built on .gov2, one of the document collections available in the TREC's Terabyte Track. Document Ids are obtained by sorting in lexicographically the URLs of the documents.
[number of integers: 5.3 billion, compress size: 2.5 Gbytes]
- Yandex.int is a dataset that has been kindly provided by Yandex.
[number of integers: 1.3 billion, compress size: 0.7 Gbytes]
We planned to provide other datasets soon. If you have other datasets worth to be published here, we encourage you to contact us.

Its passing, un- lamented, seven days ago, left memories of disaster and destruction, of delay and disappointment. Unfortunately, it is not just the careless or complacent who have to learn the hard and bitter way; almost all progress, and certainly all the real pioneering work, is achieved in the face of great trials and difficulties. Of one thing there is no doubt: that technical experience and knowledge has been accumulated to an unprecedented degree during the past year. In particular the Comet investigation, taken together with the considerable previous airline experience with this type of aircraft, has provided deeper and wider knowledge of jet transports, their construction and their operation than could possibly have been acquired in any other way. This at least guarantees a firm new foundation upon which to build. Even the year's severe losses of prototype aircraft, large and smaller—and Great Britain has not suffered alone in this respect—have not in every case been wholly in vain. The price of progress paid in life and material has nevertheless been too great. But it is neither natural nor desirable at the beginning of a new year to dwell for long upon setbacks and other sombre matters; and to express now both hope and confidence in events and achievements foreseen for the coming months is not to be unduly optimistic, for the promise is great. Throughout 1954 the progress and sales of the Viscount were a constant source of encouragement, and it will be during the coming months when these aircraft are being completed in increasing numbers and are seeing service in North America and Australia that the full measure of this success story will be revealed. For reasons of security, and of commendable reserve on the part of the makers, the English-Electric P.I has so far remained in the background. Yet the more the overall picture is examined the more the conclusion is brought home that this machine shows much above average promise; its characteristics seem in every way to add up to the right answer. There is good reason to assume that the name of the P.I (no doubt it will have a name by then) will have figured largely in our pages twelve months hence. Another subject over which there is good cause for elation is in the nature of a hardy perennial. We refer to the progress and promise among the products of the aero engine manufacturers. Production of the powerful current marks of Avon and Sapphire, and of the civil Dart, are, according to all information, most gratifying. Progress reports on the development of the Olympus, Gyron, Conway, Eland, Soar and Oryx suggest that these units are well up to their various programmes. For a little later—and indicative of the lively and enterprising outlook of design teams—there are, just around the corner, the new turboprops B.E.25 and R.B.109, the Orpheus and the Canadian Waconda—if that is in fact to be the name accepted for the advanced new engine—not to mention the small Turmo and Twin Turmo and rocket motors, hot and cold. We would not feel ready to claim that the limit of enterprise and energy has been reached in the aircraft industry; it is scarcely possible to have too much of either. If some people are to be believed, the aircraft industry lacks both, and is feather-bedsteaded or otherwise buoyed up by military contracts and the coverage of development costs by the State. This can hardly be reconciled wi± the facts in any class of product; where else, for example, are four new civil aircraft such as the Herald, Twin Pioneer, Accountant and Folland transport being designed and developed specifically to suit operators and take over world-wide duties which the so long omni-competent DC-3 must progressively relinquish. Money will continue to be found by manufacturers and operators for the design and construction of new civil aircraft and for their purchase. No one, on the other hand, underestimates the difficulties which smaller operators face when for the first time they must buy brand-new aircraft, even of the modest proportions of the types named above. The enormous costs of developing, testing on the ground and in the air and proving large airliners, particularly in view of the experiences and new knowledge which have been gained during the past year, are another matter, and one which may well have to be met directly or indirectly on a national scale in all countries.•

Eight Defendants Charged In Conspiracy To Distribute Oxycodone
ANCHORAGE, AK- - Mark Thomas, Acting Special Agent in Charge, Drug Enforcement Administration, Seattle Field Division, announced that eight people were indicted on June 21, 2011 by a federal grand jury in Anchorage for conspiracy to distribute oxycodone.
The 20-count indictment names as defendants Anchorage residents Jordan Young, 23, Yale Gene Jordan, 27, Mystri Simmons, 24, and Gary Zaremba, 26; California residents Clent Baumann, 43, and Christopher Bickell, 24; Jonathen Gattenby, 28, of Nevada and Jaqueline Gattenby, 30, of Washington.
All eight defendants were charged with a conspiracy to traffic narcotics and conspiracy to launder proceeds of the unlawful distribution of controlled substances. All eight defendants were also charged with one or more counts of money laundering. Within the last week, all but Christopher Bickell were arrested. Trial is scheduled for September 19, 2011.
The indictment alleges that between December 2009, if not before, and August 4, 2010, the defendants conspired to possess, with the intent to distribute, oxycodone and to launder the proceeds of the sales of oxycodone. The money-laundering charges allege 18 financial (wire transfers, deposits and withdrawals) affecting interstate commerce between Alaska and California, totaling over $90,000.
Of the defendants who were arrested, Yale Gene Jordan, Mystri Simmons, and Gary Zaremba remain in custody.
This case is being investigated by the Drug Enforcement (DEA), the Internal Revenue Service- Criminal Investigation and the Anchorage Police Department.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent and are entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Apple has removed all Bose headphones and speakers from its online stores and even some of its retail stores, according to 9to5Mac.
Apple's removal of Bose products from its stores follows last week's report, which suggested the decision could be linked to Apple's recent acquisition of Beats Electronics, which Apple paid $3 billion for earlier this year.
Beats and Bose have a history, however.
Last week, tensions appeared to be dying down as lawyers from both companies announced that Bose had agreed to dismiss its lawsuit against Beats for patent infringement.
In addition to simply being rival headphone and speaker brands, further conflict between the two companies has cropped up recently after the NFL fined San Francisco 49ers player Colin Kaepernick $10,000 for wearing a pair of Beats headphones during a press conference.
The fine was due to the NFL recently banning its players from wearing non-Bose headphones, as the NFL has an exclusive sponsorship agreement with Bose.
After his fine, Kaepernick continued to wear his Beats on camera, but he covered the logo with masking tape. That led Beats cofounder and Apple employee Jimmy Iovine to voice his pleasure with the free publicity, saying, "I can't believe I'm this lucky, I feel like sending them the tape."
While Apple could be responding to the NFL controversy, it's also possible that Apple just doesn't want to sell its rival's headphones in its stores, choosing instead to promote Beats, though Apple continues to sell other competing headphone brands.
And this isn't the only competing product that Apple is pulling from its shelves. Re/code reported earlier this week that Apple might also stop selling Fitbit devices.

I had dinner at flying pig and saw night at the museum 2 with alvin. I told myself i would not buy any piece of clothing tonight because there's just no more space for new clother in my closet. I got myself a new eyeliner and kabuki brush from beauty bar instead.
Alvin and i picked up my little sister at jozu after our "date". I saw Sam Milby there. He looked cute and mabango but I still like Piolo better. Haha ok enough of my kabaduyan.
I gained so much weight already. I need to lose some before our beach trip this coming weekend.ü

Decim being a seemingly "blank" person was probably what made him different to begin, as we didn't see another named character acting like him, and he could fill that void with actual emotions.

ep 12 [END]
On the next stop of great finales this week...
What can I say? What wonderful ending to one of best shows to come in the last couple seasons. I don't think Chiyuki's judgement and closure could have been handled any better in context of what DP has been about up to now. Even up until the end, Death Parade continued to surprise me week in and out on direction the show would go. When I first started this I had expected mostly episodic vignettes and some bits of plot thrown in at the end, but this turned out to much greater. This emotionally charged week could not worked without those once seemingly disconnected stories. I still don't know if would call this one of my favorites, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and that's enough for me at present.
Overall 9/10

Late for the party and, while I really liked the series as a whole, the ending left me with lots of mixed feelings.
Sure, Chiyuki and Decim's scenes were poweful and I have absolutely no complaint in that regard. OTOH, all the sub plot with Nona's scheme against the old man was pretty much flushed down to the drain.
It isn't like I expected a "rebellion against god" and things like that, but considering the statut quo is left intact, the whole thing with Nona felt almost meaningless because her actions didn't lead to anything except a slight change in Decim.
Fundamentally speaking, I have hard time to consider the point of Nona's plot considering how it ended, and it just felt... "there" for some reason.
Frankly, I think they could have exploited other points like Ginti's way of handling things, a stark antipode to Decim which would make the whole point about "judging someone" more relevant than some sort of plot against an unmovable system. This would have been even more relevant after what Ginti did back in episode 11.
Anyway, an excellent series nonetheless.

Watched the 1st two episodes, doubt I'll watch any more. The couple both failed every test of character blatantly. The goth chick's points at the end of ep2 were very superficial. If the woman could lie about her baby in such a pressured situation, and the judgement between reincarnation and void can be fallible (isn't void basically nirvana aka reward, anyway?) the whole game is nothing but a pointless monstrosity. Perhaps the point of the show will be to discover that, but I doubt it.

IFOR Members in Israel are fighting the forced displacement of Bedouin Communities in the Negev. They are asking for support by calling on people of conscience around the world to sign a letter to Israel's Prime Minister. Please click here to sign the petition.
IFOR members write: "In 1949, Israel evicted the Bedouin tribe Abu Al Qi'an from its lands in Wadi Zabbālih in the northern Negev. In 1956, the Israeli government settled the tribe in Umm Al Hiran and Atir in the north‐east region of the Negev. However, the government never granted these localities official recognition. Now, more than sixty years later, the government of Israel has ruled to evict its Bedouin citizens from Umm Al Hiran and settle Jewish citizens there instead, in a new Jewish town be called "Hiran." Please sign the petition, addressed to Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, calling upon him to prevent this outrage of evicting Bedouin citizens in order to settle Jewish citizens in their place."

37% of older people have the same sentiments.
Nearly all Hong Kong people are worried about their health, with only 20% seeing themselves as "very healthy", a new study has found. The majority of those interviewed in the Medix Medical Monitor study also admitted to being reluctant to question specialists and to relying on friends and family for advice on where to seek a medical investigation or treatment.
Around half of respondents judged their health as "below average" or "just-above average". Cancer is the most worried about disease (79%), followed by stroke (67%), heart attack (46%), illnesses related to the brain (44%) and diabetes (37%). Even so, 63% of respondents do not subject themselves to regular testing to detect and prevent the diseases they worry about. Furthermore, only 37% think the preventive information provided by general practitioners (GPs) is sufficient.
Here's more from Medix Medical Monitor:
There is widespread dissatisfaction with the health system in Hong Kong. Millennials in particular want to see improvements, with 47% of them being "quite unsatisfied" or "very unsatisfied" with the public health system, along with 37% of the older working generation. Overall, only 31% of the respondents said they are satisfied with public healthcare in Hong Kong. Shorter waiting time for specialist consultations and treatments was the top area of concern, identified by 37% of the respondents, 23% would like to see further strengthening and expanding of the public medical system, with 6% also wanting to be able to choose their treating doctor in the public system.
The private health system did not fare much better. Just over half (51%) of respondents are satisfied with the private health system in Hong Kong, although 14% are "quite unsatisfied" or "very unsatisfied". Respondents urged the private medical sector to lower costs (22%) and improve overall transparency (12%).
"Hong Kong's public healthcare system is on par with the best in the world. Public hospitals here adhere to international clinical guidelines and medical standards, with excellent results and the government subsidizing 95% of all medical costs," Sigal Atzmon, president of Medix Group said. "However, we do see room for improvement in enhancing the transparency of the health system, especially in the private sector, where information about clinical outcomes, adverse events and treatment costs is lacking. We support the Hospital Authority and Department of Health to improve supervision and reporting for hospitals in Hong Kong for the well being of patients."

Up to my ears in Georgia music history...thought I'd share with y'all. Who knew that Atlanta was one of the centers of country music at the turn of the century. I sure didn't.
The image above is an interior photo of the Atlanta Auditorium Armory circa early twentieth century. Atlanta began hosting the Old Time Fiddler's Convention here in 1913 and drew in visitors from across the state and around the region. These gatherings have been described as a "veritable montage of humanity as ladies in silks and expensive furs mixed with workin' folk in plain attire, as city folk and country folk rubbed elbows, quarrelled over the merits of rival favorites and patted their feet as one man to the strans of the music they had come to hear" (Atlanta Journal 1914) One of my references, Pickin' on Peachtree, by Wayne Daniel, has excellent quotes from convention enthusiasts from back in the day describing the scene.
Here's one of my favorites from the Atlanta Constitution in 1926:
"Practically three thousand persons filled to overflowing the lower part of the building, and created an atmosphere that was something like the enthusiasm of a prize fight, added to the getting happy of an old time camp meeting. Members of the audience got the spirit and moved out into the aisles, for a double shuffle...they fiddled solos, in duets, in deafening ensembles. The fiddled in the regular way, on their knees, backward and foward, and blindfolded. Since the burning of Rome, there has never been such fiddling."
The Municipal Auditorium held some big name concerts early on in the 1970s but was eventually acquired by Georgia State University. Finally in the early 80s, demolition of the auditorium began to make way for a student parking deck.

Sublimation printing allows businesses to create customized and personalized full color products on demand. Sublimation printing has been around for decades, but it wasn't until Sawgrass Technologies discovered a way to formulate sublimation inks so that they would print through an inkjet printer that it became an economical and practical way to decorate a variety of substrates.
Sawgrass' patented sublimation printing solutions utilize popular desktop inkjet printers from Epson and Ricoh, Sawgrass ink and a standard heat press, to produce premium full-color, photographic-quality images that will not crack, peel or wash away from the substrate.
Though the production technique is relatively simple, it's the chemical process that separates sublimation from any other form of digital printing. When sublimation inks are heated to 400°F, they turn into a gas and form a permanent bond to 100% polyester fabric or items that have a polymer coating. The result is a premium full-color, photographic-quality image that will not crack, peel or wash away from the substrate.
Create or import your artwork using a graphic program, like CorelDRAW® or Adobe® PhotoShop®.
Print your image using SubliJet IQ® or ArTainium® UV+ sublimation inks, a standard Epson® or Ricoh® printer and high quality sublimation paper.
Using a standard flatbed or mug heat press, transfer the image onto a wide variety of substrates.
Sawgrass' sublimation printing technology is used in many different industries to decorate a wide variety of products.

Have you read Dinner, A Love Story yet? It's a great cookbook that follows the fantastic journey of Jenny Rosenstrach's family dinners over the course of many years. After reading this, Jenny and her clan felt like neighbors to me. I understood her struggles and also her desire to feed her family and to feed it well. I appreciated the anecdotes that she provided -- they made her recipes tangible in an empowering way. Mostly I felt great when I read "I don't even recommend attempting a sit-down meal with your kids until your youngest is at least three." PHEW. It feels impossible to sit down for a regular dinner with all of us in my house on any day other than Sunday. My youngest is 4 months old so reading Jenny's book just enabled me to cut myself some slack. I remember eating family dinner every night as a kid. But I haven't a clue when that started.
I also love that the book includes some tips and strategies for feeding picky eaters as well as some easy recipes to help your wee ones develop a broader palate. Anyway, back to the issue at hand - this awesome apricot mustard chicken... I made this dish the night of the Nemo storm and it was met with *rave* reviews. There was hardly a calorie left on the table! My 2 year old asked for it again last night - and he fondly refers to it as "Jam Chicken" but alas, I didn't have fresh thyme in the house so I used dried. I also modified the recipe slightly, as noted below. Special thanks to Jenny for a delightful read and an entertaining, informative blog.
Here's my modified recipe of Jenny's Apricot-Mustard Baked Chicken
6 skin-on chicken pieces (we used thighs and drumsticks) rinsed and patted dry
Salt and pepper to taste
2/3 cup apricot jam
1/3 cup grainy mustard
1/4 cup water
1 T dried thyme
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken skin-side up in an oven-proof dish lined with parchment paper, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the jam with the mustard, thyme and water into a small sauce pan and cook over low heat on the stove for about 3-5 minutes. Pour over the chicken after the first ten minutes are done and cook for another 15-20 minutes. Then (awesome Jenny suggestion) place the chicken under the broiler to get a crispy-looking skin top (note: we didn't do that because my son hates anything with "crust").

|"Yellow Sky" oil on panel, 32.5 x 32.5
I began my art career (more years ago than I care to remember) as an abstract painter. I worked large. In those days a panel the size of the one above would have been considered a small work by me. Working on paintings as large as 5x8 feet was physical and liberating. I enjoyed experimenting with the application of paint by using different tools besides brushes. Lately I have felt the itch to revisit that approach to painting but this time I wanted to apply it to a representational image and this time not so large.
Off I went to the hardware store and selected tools that I thought would help me create an interesting surface. I selected a 3" wide, flexible edging blade (love it!), another edging tool which is a one inch wide wooden roller, and a 6" wide plastic paint smoother. I also unnearthed an old rubber brayer I used years ago.
Next I did a color study in my sketchbook of a view I am very familiar with, it is the view of DC seen from the point off Daingerfield Island on the Virginia side of the Potomac River. I paint from that location often and working from memory I didn't get hung up on detail. I used a limited palette of Paynes Gray, Alizarin Crimson, Vermilion, Yellow ochre, Naples Yellow and Titanium White. I propped the study up next to my panel and got to work.
Ampersand gesso board can be slippery to work on so I like to heavily gesso the panel again myself. I used both my wide gesso brush and a paint roller leaving behind the texture created by both. Then I pulled out my large brushes (2" and 3"), all my palette knives as well as the above mentioned tools and started layering on paint working dark to light. The water was painted almost entirely with the new 3" edging blade and palette knives. The sky was worked from the top down first with the same 3" blade, then the brayer and the 3" brush. As the sky descends towards the horizon line the paint is applied heavier with palette knives and bristle brushes.
I had a wonderful time! More to come....

Here are the pictures from the LSA 2000 Summer Seminar. I have done very little editing other than removing the pictures that were truly unusable due to incorrect exposure or focus (autofocus isn't infallible, especially in dim light).
Many of the pictures were shot with available light (i.e. no flash) meaning that exposure times were relatively long (1/8 second or longer). While this made it possible to take pictures during the concerts without disturbing the performers, it also means that any movement by the performer is recorded as a blurred image of whatever was moving. Blurred hands can convey a sense of action, but some people (you know who you are) bobbed and weaved all over the place while playing, making it quite difficult to get good pictures :-)
The images in this directory are mostly 640 x 480 and highly compressed to reduce download times. If you want original 1600x1200 versions of any of these, e-mail me at the address below and I'll make them available. Be sure to include the image number(s). Note that the full-size files are around 900K each.
