In the two and a half days we're at Acadia National Park we hike eighteen miles. The skies are clear and the temperature is perfect. In Bar Harbor we enjoy our wonderful hotel and the touristy shopping. Every meal we have is delicious and one evening we're entertained by ancient Celtic tunes played on an acoustic guitar. We're sad to leave the area. I highly recommend a visit to Acadia and Bar Harbor.
Our next lodging turns out to be more adventurous than I prefer. Following the rather frantic voice in our phone, we drive four hours southwest, to Huttopia, a cluster of canvas covered frames with wooden floors on a serene lake in the White Mountains. When we arrive it's so hot and humid that my clothes stick to me. The apathetic receptionist tells us that we can't drink the water and that we're to recycle. She knows nothing about the area, though she's heard talk of hikes. Unhelpful as she is, she tells me I have beautiful eyes so she'll always have a place in my heart.
I try to be a good sport about things, but our new temporary home is a huge disappointment. The information on Huttopia's website touts space to sleep five, indoor and outdoor dining areas, a stovetop and refrigerator, and a full bathroom. And on the surface, all this is true; except that what they're calling a stovetop is actually a crappy burner on the porch, and the two and a half beds could only sleep five if they're talking about four-year-olds. Most dismaying is that there's no storage room anywhere, which means the suitcases take up the table. And the bathroom is the size of a closet. Not only do we have to put the sheets on the beds, but we're expected to strip them and deliver them somewhere when we depart. I know I sound spoiled, but this place is costly.
Also, we're asked to wash our dishes before we leave, which in my mind means we'll be eating off dishes that were (or weren't) cleaned by the previous tenant. I thoroughly scrub the dishes before we eat off of them. As I've stated in previous write-ups, this trusting the guests to prepare for the next guests is a stupid and careless concept.
The next morning it's so cold that neither of us can get warm. We huddle in three layers beneath blankets, muttering that surely it'll warm up later in the day. There's a heater that's on a thirty-minute timer. It puts out little heat, though the glow creates the illusion.
Even worse, though, is the hike that claims to be four miles long but is closer to seven. And it's not a hike, it's a climb, a steep one. I'm horrible at going both up and down. Five hours in I'm so exhausted that I'm fighting tears. And shamefully, my every stumbling step is accompanied by a bitter expletive. Complaining is probably the best and worst thing I do.
"Come and look at this view," David says when we reach the peak. He stands right on the edge of a granite shelf looking down over a beautiful valley.
"You think I haven't heard myself for the last two hours? If I were to stand there nobody on the planet would blame you for giving me a push."
He shrugs and takes a few pictures. It takes us longer to get down than it did to get up, altogether five-and-a-half hours of misery. I'm so bone-weary that I can't lift my feet and I hurt everywhere. I tell David that if he asks what's for lunch when we get back I'm hitting him with my walking stick. He chuckles. He's a much better sport than I am.
The next morning I'm appalled to see that, though we left it clean the night before, our tiny food prep counter is covered with mouse turds. I fondly recall how, before we moved to our country home outside Marble Falls, I didn't know what a mouse turd looked like. Shuddering in revulsion, I wipe the mousy surface with the same sponge I used earlier for washing dishes; and will use again when I wash up before we go. It is what it is.
After this episode, we drive an hour to catch the Cog Train to the summit of Mount Washington. If you're ever in this area you should definitely do this. A particularly arduous segment of the Appalachian Trail, Mount Washington is the tallest peak in New England. When we reach the top it's twenty-eight degrees and we're consumed by a cloud. I buy a pair of gloves in the gift shop.
On the way back to our frigid tent/hut we stop for lunch in Conway, at a nondescript restaurant called The Lobster Trap. And indeed, there is a splintered lobster trap by the entrance. David orders baked halibut and I have clam chowder; and believe me, a person doesn't lose weight by ordering clam chowder for lunch every day. A couple of hours later David gets sick. Traveling can be hard on the system.

As I looked at amazing printed in place things like LoboCNC's Iris Box (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1817180), Fidget spinner by muzz64 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2237509), TikaDesign's Tika Alpaca (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2542369), I was wondering if I could be able to print something like this.
And here is printed in place LEGO compatible man! Sorry to say, that it is mostly a proof of concept, but still fully functional proof: he has movable legs, arms, hands, replaceable hat and swappable head. He can even seat and stand on the original and compatible surfaces and hold various items.
Spacing is large enough so that it is not exactly a stress test for your printer. Though you should level bed and make sure there is no such thing as elephant foot.
Man shoud easily (or relatively easily) move right after the print. But that depends on print settings and filament quality.
I used PLA for printing.
0.2 mm layer, no rafts, no supports. Depending on your printer settings each print can take around 40 minutes.
lego_the_first is the fully moving figure
lego_the_block has non-removable head
lego_the_key has non-removable head with ring for keychain

Whilst viewing numbers for our clients businesses have moved forward by a nominal 4% in 2013, an analysis of our activity shows that our viewers are now more likely to submit an offer than at any time since 2007. Offer levels for our clients has increased by a healthy 15% this year and the number of deals we have put into solicitors hands has increased by 25%. Perhaps most importantly, we have successfully concluded on 40% more care home sales!
This underlying activity has been fuelled by greater buyer confidence, an improving economy and the increased appetite of all the major banks to lend to experienced operators – at historically low interest rates. Such cheap money will not be available in the long term and for this reason we believe that now has never been a better time to consider selling your care home business.
If you would like a confidential discussion about the current market or are planning your exit strategy, then please contact our South West Healthcare team, who have over 65 years of care home sales experience…

If a female ferret goes without mating for more than one year, she will die due to aplastic anemia.
Seriously. Dying from a lack of sex is an actual thing. Female ferrets reach sexual maturity at 4-6 months of age. Once they go into heat, they stay that way indefinitely until they breed. Over time, prolonged high doses of estrogen lead to aplastic anemia — a serious condition that can lead to death. Luckily, a veterinarian can help bring a ferret out of heat if breeding doesn't happen.

The Aam Aadmi Party has been told that it must surrender its office in Delhi, where it is serving a second term in power. Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal has reportedly cancelled the land allotted to the party for its headquarter. His decision comes after a committee said that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his government have cleared policies and implemented decisions without following the process required for a Union Territory like the capital, which is in part controlled by the centre and the Lieutenant Governor, who is its representative.
- Lieutenant Governor cancels land allotted to AAP for Delhi office
- 3-member committee said land deal did not follow needed process
- AAP says these are attempts to slander it before local election
A three-member committee headed by former national auditor VK Shunglu said this week that its examination of hundreds of files and decisions revealed that Mr Kejriwal's government had failed to consult the Lieutenant Governor for important decisions on subjects on which, by law, he must be consulted.
The Aam Admi Party or AAP says that ahead of Delhi's municipal corporation election, a spurt of controversies are being generated to slander it. The election, to be held on April 23, will serve as a mid-term test of Mr Kejriwal's popularity. In 2015, Mr Kejriwal was forgiven his abrupt resignation after just 49 days in office and re-elected with a dream majority - he lost just three seats. Since then, he says, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been looking to get even, because the BJP lost the capital months after the PM led the party to a huge victory in the general election of 2014.
The Shunglu Committee, which has indicted Mr Kejriwal on an omnibus of issues, was created by the last Lieutenant Governor, Najeeb Jung, whose term was marked by unremitting confrontation with Mr Kejriwal's administration, which accused him of working "as an agent of the BJP" to allow the centre to control a city that had rejected it in the last election in 2015.
The panel said the decision to allot land to the AAP to build a party office should be considered "null and void." Before stepping down as Lieutenant Governor, Mr Jung had predicted that Mr Kejriwal could face "criminal charges" over irregularities exhumed by the committee.
Just days ago, the Lieutenant Governor ordered AAP to reimburse the government 97 crores for advertisements that allegedly violate Supreme Court guidelines to promote the Chief Minister and his government. That decision was taken based on the recommendation of another committee whose job is to examine how the centre and states are spending public money on advertisements. Mr Kejriwal has said the committee is biased because it is set up by the central government.

Odlums flour still the power behind every great bake off
Local heroes: Fifth-generation miller Nigel Odlum has seen the flour business fall and rise - and with the Irish home-baking market worth over €125m a year, it's no wonder that parent company Valeo is happy to savour the smell of freshly baked bread
Harvest time is Nigel Odlum's fondest memory of his childhood.
The fifth-generation miller and now operations director of Odlums, grew up in Portlaoise - where the Odlum family's first flour and oatmeal mill opened 170 years ago.
"I started off working in the business during the summer holidays," says Nigel. "Harvest time was always an exciting time as there was a great buzz around the mill.
"Farmers would arrive in tractors and trailers with freshly harvested grain. This wheat was sampled load by load and tested. Once the farmer got the nod, he would then tip the grain into an intake hopper - and it was then transferred to storage bins before being dried.
"For the farmer, it was the fruits of his hard work to grow the wheat and get it accepted for milling. For Odlums it was the beginning of a new year. It also marked the unknown as to what the harvest was going to produce.
"Harvest time is not such a big occasion today, as wheat is now stored on the farm or in merchants and drawn to the mill as it is needed during the year."
As a teenager, Nigel Odlum often delivered flour to the west of Ireland. Odlums had a large bulk tanker, which at the time delivered to some of the larger bakeries in the West.
"It was always a thrill to go on this lorry, as there were few lorries this size travelling in the West at the time - so it always drew attention when passing through small towns and villages," says Nigel.
The Odlums flour milling business was originally set up by William Odlum in 1845 after he inherited a mill from his aunt.
"William grew the business on from there and acquired more small mills around the country," says Nigel, who has worked for the family business for most of his life. He is therefore well aware of how milling has changed over the years.
"In the old days, farmers brought in their wheat to the mill and the wheat was ground into flour," he says. "Today, we go out and buy the wheat from a merchant. The volume of wheat we're handling today is about 10 or 20 times more than in the past. In fact the whole milling process has changed. In 1845, some of the mills would have had stone mills [which would grind the grain to make flour]. We use steel rolls today."
The original Portlaoise mill laid the roots for the current mill in Portarlington, which is the only mill run by the Odlums business today - and the last remaining operating commercial flour mill in Ireland.
"The mill in Portarlington was located alongside a branch of the Grand Canal which has since been closed," says Nigel. "Back in the old days, the canal was used for transport - and that was one of the main reasons the mill was located there. So the wheat was brought from Dublin in barges to the mill in Portarlington.
"The mill itself was powered by steam engine - and the coal for that came in by barge too. Electrification has since done away with the steam engine. The Portarlington mill is also located close to a railway station - and in the old days, flour was transported by rail. So originally, horse and dray would have been used to get the flour to the station to load up the goods wagon.
"As lorries became more efficient, the barges were used less because you could send a lorry to Dublin with flour in a day - whereas a barge would take between two and three days."
Odlums produces a range of about 120 different flours today.
"Originally we would have produced three or four different flours - mainly self-raising, wholemeals and cream plain flour," says Nigel. "The consumer is much more sophisticated today and is looking for organic and gluten-free flours - so we produce these.
"We have convenience products such as pancakes in a bottle, a tub of flour - for people who don't want spillage in their presses - and convenience packages, such as the small 500g pack of flour for someone who doesn't bake that much. We also do 'Bake Your Own' products, such as bread mixes, scone mixes and so on. We are currently working on a variety of new bread mixes, such as garlic and herb focaccia, multigrain bread and a really good Irish stout bread. We will be bringing these to the market shortly."
Odlums produces 17 million packs of product a year and seems to be cresting a revival wave. "Baking has become very trendy in the past few years," says Nigel. "We have a younger generation who are baking today."
Ironically however, the best-selling Odlum products are still its traditional ones - that is its cream plain and self-raising flours. There has been a big swing back to basics when baking, according to Nigel.
The Odlums website is a useful resource for wannabe bakers and fans of Great Bake Off TV shows. It includes recipes - both for beginners and for the more experienced baker - from chocolate brownies to cupcakes to a delicious banana brulee. There are savoury recipes, recipes for those with special dietary needs - and even recipes for popular wedding cakes.
The site also features baking demonstrations by Odlums baker Catherine Leyden. "People are interested in starting off with the ingredients from scratch - and following Catherine's recipes," says Nigel. "We're getting 150,000 visitors a month to the website."
Having said this, Mr Odlum admits to being "a much better miller than baker. However, I do enjoy using some of the Odlum's bread and scone mixes which always goes down well with the family," he hastens to add.
Odlums currently exports a small amount of its produce to Britain and the US - but is planning to export more.
"We are working on some new concepts which we feel would be very attractive to the diaspora in the United States," says Nigel. "Irish brown soda bread is wholesome and yeast-free and therefore unique to foreign markets. We've also done a lot of work on the whole packaging image - we've rebranded the image so it has a more contemporary feel."
Nigel Odlum, who now lives in Abbeyleix, Co Laois, is married with three children. He has worked for the family business for most of his life. He went to flour milling college in Switzerland for a year where he learnt the theory behind the practical side of milling.
When younger, he also worked for the Manchester milling engineering company, Henry Simon. That company has since been taken over by the large Japanese milling company, Satake.
"At the time I worked with them, Henry Simon specialised in manufacturing milling machinery and designing and installing flour mills," says Nigel. "I was fortunate to have spent time with them when they were designing and installing our flour mill."
The owl logo on Odlum packs of flour comes from the family crest. The business has seen many changes, but that famous owl logo still looks down from shop shelves everywhere. But the changes have made their mark. In 2007, Shamrock Foods took over Odlums. Then in 2010, Shamrock Foods and Batchelors (the company behind Batchelors' beans) merged to form Valeo Foods - Odlums' current owner.
Earlier this year, Valeo announced a €1m investment in Odlums and this was used to build a state-of-the-art innovation centre - the first major upgrade to Odlums' manufacturing operations in the last 10 years.
"Milling in Ireland has changed hugely in the last 30 years and will keep evolving," says Nigel. "We all have to change with the times. Success is not final; failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts."

Android P will be Android Popsicle, if Google's "clue" is anything to go by.
In a set of spring wallpapers, the Mountain View company dropped a potential hint to the next Android version's moniker. The thing is, it isn't clear whether it's just a wallpaper or really a clue, but a lot of folks are convinced it's the latter.
Android 9.0 Popsicle?
Before every major Android update, there's a lot of buzz about what it's going to be called. Also, Google isn't one to shy away from having fun with its user base when it comes to this kind of thing. This time's no exception either.
Following Android 8.0 Oreo, it's obvious that the next in line is going to be 9.0 affixed with a P. The big question is what the P is going to stand for.
Now Google uploaded six wallpapers to Instagram, which has been made accessible via Drive thanks to 9to5Google's Justin Duino. Among them, there's one that's full of popsicles.
Since the beginning of Android, each version has been named after a dessert. That includes Android 1.5 Cupcake, Android 1.6 Donut, Android 2.0 éclair, Android 2.2 Froyo, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Android 3.0 Honeycomb, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, Android 4.4 KitKat, Android 5.0 Lollipop, Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Android 7.0 Nougat, and Android 8.0 Oreo.
To put two and two together, Android Popsicle could be it. It's backed up by history and a clue of sorts, after all, though it's not set in stone.
Other Possible Android P Names
This isn't the first time that Google gave a "hint" to the name of Android P. Back in January, the company released an online game that revealed its I/O developer conference date to be on Pi Day. On top of that, it involved a pineapple upside-down cake. That led to speculations that Android P is going to be Android Pie, Android Pineapple Pie, or anything else along those lines.
On an interesting note, Cupcake didn't start the whole dessert naming convention. Android 1.1 Petit Four did, according to Android Police. It would be interesting to see Google reuse Petit Four for Android P as an homage of sorts, but that could cause some confusion.
At the end of the day, no one can really say for sure what Android P will be called just yet. In other words, anyone's guess is as good as anyone else's.
What do you think is going to be the next Android version's name? Is the case for Android Popsicle strong? Feel free to drop by our comments section below and let us know.

Three local kids preparing for the start of the first Winter Youth Olympic Games on Friday in Innsbruck, Austria, realize their participation in the worldwide festival involving more than 1,000 athletes from 60 nations represents a huge honor — and that it will cause each of them to miss a host of mid-term exams. But they know little else for certain about the 10-day event.
Laurel's Thomas Hong, a short track speed skater, and Rockville's Rachel and Michael Parsons, an ice dance team, aspire to performances as great as they are accustomed to against youth their age in the United States. They simply have no idea whether that's a realistic aim.
"Getting a medal is definitely my goal," said Hong, 14. "Who doesn't want to win? But I have no clue who I'm up against. . . . It will be a way to gauge my abilities against other people my age."
The Winter Youth Olympic Games, the partner to the inaugural Summer Youth Olympic Games that took place in Singapore in 2010, will bring kids ages 15-18 to Innsbruck for competition in 63 medal events. Because of the international field, the newness of the competition and the age cap, competitors have little idea of how they will fare.
Hong, a four-time U.S. national champion and reigning U.S. juvenile champion, has earned considerable attention in his age group in the United States, but never competed internationally. The Parsons brother-sister team, the reigning U.S. novice ice dance champs, received their first international assignment from U.S. Figure Skating last fall. At an International Skating Union junior grand prix event in Gdansk, Poland, they finished ninth out of 21 teams.
"It's definitely a huge step forward," Rachel, 14, said. "Our ultimate goal is the Olympics. It's going to be an amazing experience."
The timing, however, is a bit awkward. Hong, who skates with the Potomac Speedskating Club, is a freshman at Atholton High in Columbia. Rachel is in the eighth grade; Michael, 16, a sophomore at Magruder High in Rockville.
All will be missing a slew of midterm exams while overseas. And the Parsons, who represent the Washington Figure Skating Club and train at Wheaton Ice Skating Academy, will be heading to the U.S. national figure skating championships in San Jose a day after they return home. This will be their second U.S. championships as a skating team after becoming partners early in 2010.
None of the trio is too worried, however. They will make up the missed classwork when they return. Clothed in brand-new Team USA clothes and gear, the three traveled to Innsbruck this week with other U.S. athletes who, like they, qualified with strong performances at designated events..
"I'm a little nervous but mostly excited," Hong said. "I've won national championships before, but this blows everything out of the water."

Another one bites the dust. According to the Wall Street Journal, Digg has been sold to New York technology development firm Betaworks for $500,000, a deep discount for a social-media site once valued at more than $160 million.
The website was founded in 2004 as a way for consumers to put together their own collections of news and other Internet content, rather than relying on the choices made by newspaper editors. Digg users would post links on the site's home page, then others would vote on their choices, determining the prominence of the stories they posted.
In the fall of 2008, Digg raised nearly $29 million in venture capital from Greylock Partners, Highland Capital Partners and other financiers in an investment valuing the company at around $164 million, according to Dow Jones VentureSource.
But the audience started to drift away in early 2010 when services such as Facebook and Twitter exploded in popularity, as users preferred getting article recommendations from their friends or people they followed in addition to drastic website changes that users were rejecting. As a result, monthly unique users peaked in January of that year at 29 million, according to comScore, then rapidly began to fall.
Then came Reddit. Last December, Reddit drew more visitors than Digg for the first time, according to comScore, and since then it has maintained that lead.

The latest edition of Panorama highlights the importance of creativity and innovation to a healthy and prosperous Europe.Throughout the Year of Creativity and Innovation, the Commission will promote debate on how to increase Europe's creative and innovative potential and to raise awareness of the importance of creativity and innovation as key drivers of personal, social and economic development.
The debate raises questions. How do we define the central words, creativity, innovation and culture? How do they interrelate? How can culture and creative thinking drive innovation? Art and business – are they oil and water, or can one fuel the other? How can we help people attain their potential to be creative and innovative thinkers? What is the role of education and lifelong learning in making our populations more dynamic, confident and creative? Panorama examines some of the central issues and looks at several projects that best represent how creativity and innovation can spark change.

Four different branches of the U.S. military are spending millions of dollars to equip troops with combat uniforms in seven different but similar camouflage patterns, says the Government Accountability Office, wasting money and potentially exposing some troops to increased risk on the battlefield.
That's one of the findings in the GAO's latest report on government waste, its third annual report on overlapping, redundant and/or wasteful federal government programs and spending. (GAO is the independent, nonpartisan investigative and auditing agency that works for Congress.)
The report identifies 31 new areas in the federal government "where agencies may be able to achieve greater efficiency or effectiveness" – 17 areas where the GAO found evidence of "fragmentation, overlap or duplication" and 14 where it found opportunities for significant cost savings and "revenue enhancement."
On combat uniforms, the GAO found that the military services "employ a fragmented approach" in acquiring them.
Have a look at the visual included in the report (below). It shows images of seven different camouflage patterns for uniforms separately ordered by the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines.
Government Accountability Office
Before 2002, all the military services had used only two basic camouflage patterns – one woodland pattern and one desert pattern.
Contracting separately for similar uniforms, GAO says, has resulted in "numerous inventories of similar uniforms at increased cost to the supply chain."
GAO found that if the services partnered together in procuring uniforms, the Defense Department could save tens of millions of dollars.
Previously the Army has estimated it could save $82 million by partnering, and the Navy has estimated it could save $6 million.
Spending watchdog groups say the uniform waste is one example of a widespread problem.
"When you look at combat fatigues it's like a microcosm of the whole problem," says Steve Ellis, vice president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan budget watchdog group. "Combat fatigues are an example of how, left to its own devices, government creates more complication, and it's up to Congress to reign them in and to make them concentrate and only do one thing."
Of the 31 new areas the GAO identified, here are a few examples of areas the GAO found with overlap and duplication:
- Drug abuse prevention and treatment programs: "Federal drug abuse prevention and treatment programs are fragmented across 15 federal agencies … in fiscal year 2012, about $4.5 billion was allocated to these 15 agencies that administer 76 programs that are, in all or in part, intended to prevent or treat illicit drug use or abuse."
- Renewable energy initiatives: "23 agencies and their 130 sub-agencies implemented 679 renewable energy initiatives in fiscal year 2010…9 agencies implemented 82 overlapping duplicative wind-related initiatives in fiscal year 2011 … including 7 initiatives that have provided duplicative … financial support to the same recipient for a single project."
Here are a few examples of areas GAO found with significant potential cost savings or increased revenue:
- Crop insurance subsidies: Congress could save up to $1.2 billion if it reduced or limited subsidies for individual farmers.
- Medicaid supplemental payments: by identifying improper Medicaid payments, HHS could save up to hundreds of millions of dollars.
- Tobacco taxes: the federal government lost as much as $615 million to $1 billion between 2009 and 2011 "because tobacco manufacturers and consumers substituted higher-taxed smoking tobacco products with similar lower tax products.
The entire list is in the full report, GAO-13-279SP - "2013 Annual Report: Actions Needed to Reduce Fragmentation, Overlap, and Duplication and Achieve Other Financial Benefits." The report runs 293 pages and is available here.
The GAO's report includes recommendations for policy changes in each area. But the report includes some positive statistics about the impact of the GAO's previous efforts.
Since its first report in 2011, the GAO found that the Obama administration's executive branch agencies and Congress "have made progress."
As of the latest report's completion last month, the GAO found, a majority of the areas it identified in the first two reports in 2011 and 2012 got attention from the agencies involved: 16 of the 131 areas "were addressed"; 87 were "partially addressed"; and only 27 were "not addressed."
Of approximately 300 "actions needed" within these areas, more than half were addressed or partially addressed: 65 were addressed, 149 were partially addressed and 85 were not addressed.
The GAO's recommendations to reduce waste and duplication on combat uniforms were originally provided to the Defense Department in September 2012. The department responded with a statement saying, "the DOD plans to provide joint criteria and policy guidance for camouflage uniforms to the military departments by March 2013, and plans to … provide additional oversight and further pursue active partnerships for joint development and use of uniforms."

Contacted Tuesday by NBC News for a response, representatives of the Defense Department referred to the previous statement.
At a hearing Tuesday afternoon before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, GAO staffers testified about the report's findings and answered committee members' questions.
In his opening statement, U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the committee's chair, expressed disappointment that only 16 of the 131 areas the GAO previously reported got fixed.
"As budget pressure increases and the American taxpayer says I cannot afford to pay for the same services twice," he said, "both Congress, including the GAO, and executive branch must find these programs, must find this waste and must do our job differently."
Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., the committee's ranking Democrat, blamed Congress for failing to act and said he hoped that Republicans and Democrats could "join forces to reduce waste, fraud and abuse."
"We should all be able to agree that a dollar wasted here is a dollar that is not put to better use elsewhere," Cummings said. "I think Republicans and Democrats will agree that we want to see taxpayers' dollars spent in an effective and efficient manner."
U.S. Comptroller General Gene Dodaro, who runs the GAO and was the hearing's main witness, summed up his testimony with this observation:
"My term goes to 2025. I hope that I won't be reporting all these same issues in that year. But I can tell you that it won't change unless the Congress gets involved in this process with active oversight."

Standard & Poor's ratings service just put the long-term rating of the European Union on "creditwatch negative."
With the eurozone accounting for 62% of the European Union's budgeted revenues in 2011, it would seem that the greater, 27-state European Union is also vulnerable to the crisis.
S&P is also putting BNP Paribas, Commerzbank, Societe Generale, Credit Agricole, Deutsche Bank, and many other European banks on "creditwatch negative."
Markets appear to be unfazed by the announcement. It is not wholly unexpected after S&P's announcement earlier this week that it had changed the credit outlook of 15 eurozone sovereign nations to negative.
Once again, S&P is late to the game and appears to be locking the barn door after the horse is gone. But the change certainly indicates just how precarious Europe's financial position has become.
Here's the press release on why S&P changed the EU's long-term outlook to negative:
- On Dec. 5, 2011, Standard & Poor's placed the ratings on 15 of the 17 member states of the European Monetary and Economic Union (EMU or eurozone) governments on CreditWatch with negative implications. As a result, the ratings on 17 European Union (EU) member states are now on CreditWatch with negative implications.
- We are therefore also placing the 'AAA' long-term rating on the EU on CreditWatch negative. At the same time, we are affirming the 'A-1+' short-term rating on the EU.
- The CreditWatch placement on the eurozone member states was prompted by our concerns about the potential impact on these member states of what we view as deepening political, financial, and monetary problems within the eurozone.
- Eurozone members directly contribute approximately 62% of the EU's total 2011 budgeted revenues. Our CreditWatch review will focus on the financial ability of eurozone member states to support the EU's debt service should the institution face a period of financial distress.
- We expect to conclude our review as soon as possible after the European summit on Dec. 9, 2011. Depending on the outcome of our review of the ratings on eurozone member governments, we could lower the long-term rating on the EU by one notch, if any.
LONDON (Standard & Poor's) Dec. 7, 2011--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today placed its 'AAA' long-term issuer credit rating on the European Union (EU) on CreditWatch with negative implications. At the same time, we affirmed the 'A-1+' short-term issuer credit rating on the EU. The CreditWatch placement is prompted by similar CreditWatch placements, which we made on 15 eurozone sovereigns on Dec. 5, 2011. The CreditWatch on the EU is an expression of our concerns about the potential impact on the future debt service capacity of eurozone sovereigns, and therefore also the EU, in the context of what we view as deepening political, financial, and monetary problems within the eurozone. Eurozone members account for 62% of the EU's total 2011 budgeted revenues. For 2011, budgeted revenues from Germany and France were 32% of total EU revenues, at 16% and 14%, respectively. In total, 'AAA' rated member states account for just over 49% of the EU's 2011 budgeted revenues, with only the U.K., Denmark, and Sweden retaining a stable outlook (together they contribute 13% of the EU's 2011 budgeted revenues). Given the EU's dependency on such revenues from national budgets, and our recent CreditWatch placements on the 'AAA' ratings on Germany and France, among others, we will concurrently review the 'AAA' long-term rating on the EU with the ratings on the eurozone member states. CREDITWATCH We expect to resolve the CreditWatch placements on the eurozone member states as soon as possible after the European summit on Dec. 8 and 9, 2011. Following this, we then expect to resolve the CreditWatch on the EU. We typically resolve CreditWatch actions within 90 days, although we will attempt to resolve the CreditWatch placements on eurozone sovereigns and therefore the EU sooner, if possible and appropriate. We could lower the long-term issuer credit rating on the EU by one notch if we were to lower the current 'AAA' ratings on one or more member states, with a special focus on the largest contributors, France and Germany. Conversely, the ratings could be affirmed at their current levels if we were to affirm the member states' 'AAA' ratings following the respective sovereign CreditWatch review.

Understanding Constitutional Law
Constitutional law includes all laws which are derived from the United States Constitution. The Constitution guarantees all United States citizens certain rights, which are standard across the country. No laws may interfere with a citizen's Constitutional rights, as they are guaranteed.
Constitutional laws include cases which involve freedom of speech. In order to better understand the rights granted by the Constitution, some court cases challenge the Constitution and the rights contained within. The right to free speech has continuously been upheld, with some restrictions. For example, individuals may say things that may offend other people, but they may not incite violence.
Each Constitutional right may be challenged through court cases. Although no rights have been taken away, these cases simply seek to define the rights granted. Court cases help to establish the limit for Constitutional rights.
Constitution Laws will have more information about the Constitution.

This post is part of 23 Things for Professional Development.
I've experimented with a few tools for creating online tutorials (though so far, no podcasts):
- Captivate – how to renew your books online (using the now-defunct Geac Advance)
- Intute Informs – how to use the Oxford e-journals and databases sites
- LibGuides – guide to St Hugh's College Library
As mentioned in the instructions for Thing 18, these take a lot of work.
Here's my advice, for what it's worth:
- Choose a small topic for an online tutorial. Setting up an online tutorial can take hours, even for a short video
- If you want to have tutorials about lots of different things, record them separately. It's a win for users, as they only have to watch/listen to the one they're specifically interested in, and if something changes in future, hopefully you will only have to update one tutorial rather than your 30-minute-long director's cut über-tutorial
- Decide on a script beforehand, so that you know what to say when you press Record
- Your recorded voice doesn't sound as cringey to other people as it does to you
The value of these tutorials is in providing a basic introduction for students at any time and in any place with internet connection. You might like to conclude your tutorials with an invitation to library users to come to the library for 1:1 support on more complicated enquiries.

Mac Miller + Tory Lanez at
The Bomb Factory, Dallas, Texas
November 23rd, 2015
Resilience is the name of the game when it comes to 23-year-old Mac Miller's ongoing legacy as one of the youngest influential artists of his time. With an arsenal of mixtapes and now a third studio album under his belt, this Pittsburgh native is catapulting himself into the next dimension of stardom. 4.3 thousand fans gathered in Dallas to witness Mac's 5th solo tour, entitled the GO:OD AM Tour after his most recent project backed by Warner Brother Records, a hallowing reflection of his recently overcome struggles of sorrow and addiction. Supported on road by a slew of hot artists, such as the up and coming Njomza, newbie Michael Christmas and chart trail blazer Tory Lanez, the young emcee's show certainly left an impression upon its viewers that they won't soon forget. Newcomers Njomza and Christmas's showcases kept the crowed entertained with snippets of their recent projects, refreshing riffs that sparked the interest of anyone in the vicinity having heard them for the first time.
Trekking shortly behind the other performers was the fast-rising Tory Lanez, popular for his current radio smash, "Say It" and also for presently dominating the urban airwaves. In site of the smoother, more melodic tones of his single, nothing could have prepared the onlookers for Lanez's performance. From the instant he took place on the stage, the seemingly soft-spoken vocalist revved up several notches in a matter of moments. He instantly sunk his heels into the wooden flooring during his entry tune, next proceeding to stand on a speaker at the head of the platform, all before springing up and down with the elastic flexibility comparable to that of a brand new slinky. Lanez's energetic exhibition was sustained throughout the duration of his set, engaging the crowd at every given moment. At one point during the intercession of a song, he randomly drops the mic and hurdles himself into the crowd, sending everyone into frenzy. After limply surfing for a few minutes, the rapper manages to regain his footing – atop the bodies within the amassed crowd. Lanez suspends himself in the inner meshwork of arms and hands, somehow balancing himself perfectly. He eventually rolls his way transversely across the sea of fans, back to the stage, back to the crowd, then the stage again, and finally to the top of the rafters, where, upon exhausted arrival, he exclaims, "Hey Dallas…I made it to the top!"
After seeing Tory Lanez carry out such a perilous demonstration, one may have thought it'd be difficult for Mac Miler to effectively follow suit. However, shortly thereafter the young emcee strolls onto the stage, whilst a vibrant array of colors illuminating a photo of himself across the backdrop. Prior to his ensemble, he beckons the crowd to repeat back the phrase, "One band….one sound" alluding to a well-known quotation from the film Drumline. Eruptions of enthusiasm reverberate throughout the halls as he initiates the night with a mash-up of some of his older tunes, such as, "Loud" from his 2012 composure Macadelicalong with "Watching Movies" from his previous album, Watching Movies With The Sound Off, much to the delight of the audience, as everyone present seemed to be reciting the lyrics with pristine accuracy. Refrains such as, "Bird Call" and "Nikes On My Feet" appeared to get the nod of approval from Miller's older, backpacker shrouded fanbase.
After battling vices that forced his to mature from both a personal standpoint and as an artist, it would seem as though Mac Miller is only getting better with time. Overcoming past demons to deliver a newfound demeanor as seen the other night proves his capability to bounce back better than ever before, no matter the circumstance. Mac's new form is here to stay, and we're eager to see this performer evolve to the next level.

Luxurious leather-based has been fashionably used for hundreds of years. But don't restrict yourself to black, some designer's proposals are as big as their creations, however the objective is probably the most useful side of it; making plus dimension ladies really feel stunning and attractive, make them comfy in their own skin.
Mainstream outlets promote their ranges for just some pounds and whilst it will not be unique, a whole lot of pretty pieces could be picked up. The cost doesn't all the time reflect the supplies nevertheless; plastic jewelery by a well-known designer or artist can be simply as expensive as diamonds and gold.
Individuals are bound to try and change the best way things are, but finally, one of the best type will be that of the more powerful trade. Via analysis and finding out the customers' lives the needs of the customer will be obtained and assist fashion manufacturers know what developments the customers are prepared for.
Even culture performs a giant role here, and the ensuing fashion will probably be heavily influenced by the designer's tradition and heritage. It's therefore no shock that some huge cash is spent on designer clothing. In the 1870s, the custom …

[Note to reader: If you haven't read why I'm writing this five-day blog series, please refer to my first post, "How to Eat Healthy on $5.00 a Day," which explains my intent.]
I marvel at the choices of oatmeal available to us in this country. In Bill's and my house alone, we have three: rolled oats, quick rolled oats, and instant oatmeal (all organic).
You can also choose from conventionally-grown oats, and instant oatmeal with a variety of flavors, such as maple and brown sugar, apple-cinnamon, etc. So it was interesting to see how the prices vary on just the three types we have in our house.
Of course, instant is most expensive because you're paying for the convenience. But couldn't you also say you're saving energy since you don't have to wash a pot? That's my favorite part about instant oatmeal. Today I opted for quick rolled oats, cooked in a pot for about two minutes, which actually seemed faster than heating water for instant oatmeal and then waiting for it to set. Oh, the choices we have!
Check out the menus and the tallies for today's experiment at trying to eat healthy on five bucks.
Here's what we ate today, broken out by meal, person, and cost.
So being a breakfast lover, I started off the day with a good ol' bowl of fruit and fiber, adding a chopped apple from my stash of Michigan apples I've been keeping in the garage since last fall. I learned from a farmer that if you keep them in a cooler, they stay cold enough without freezing during the winter. We get raw milk from a local farmer once a week, which I enjoy in both coffee and oatmeal. The best thing is that Bill can drink it even though he's allergic to cow dairy products because we think it's the pasteurization that alters a protein in the milk, making it harder for him–and others with cow dairy allergies–to digest. However, today he had spelt flakes (no wheat) cereal with rice milk and Russian tea , which I picked up at the Kalamazoo Russian Festival last fall.
Some variations you could try, besides the types of cereal, include different fruit options such as sliced banana, dried cherries, cranberries, or blueberries. For extra protein, add some walnuts or almonds (at 31 cents for a half-ounce). If you're not a breakfast fan, you've saved yourself some cash! (But you still might want to consume a piece of fruit and some nuts to get your brain in gear!)
As with breakfast, sometimes Bill and I eat the same thing, sometimes we don't. For today's lunch we opted to go separate ways, him enjoying a bratwurst that he picked up from Crane Dance Farm at the Fulton Street winter farmers market, and me deciding on a Veggie Wrap with Garbanzo Bean Schmear. He placed his braised brat on a bed of white rice that was seasoned with annatto and onion, all atop a tortilla.
You can check out the recipe to see how I made my wrap. The garbanzo beans, as well as the sunflower seeds (who knew they were so cheap?!) gave me the protein and energy boost I need for my afternoon. And I love grated carrots because they add bulk, juice, and flavor to anything. I even went shopping for a specific Oxo ergonomic carrot grating tool to make this job quick and easy. Once the tortillas are rolled up, they could easily be taken along for lunch if you pack one for work or need food on the road.
For dinner, we each had a quarter pound of ground beef from our mixed quarter cow from Lubbers Farm and Bill made Grassfed Beef Burgers on the grill. Inspired by a recipe from Food 52 called One Pot Kale and Quinoa Pilaf, I made a quinoa nest for our burgers. We only ate half of the recipe (which didn't include the yummy goat cheese, walnut oil, or pine nuts due to cost) so we'll have leftovers for another meal this week.
Bill also enjoyed a snack of peanut butter on millet & flax toast during the evening. All in all, I think we did pretty well for our first day, coming in at $10.23 for two people.
- Our most expensive items, not surprisingly, are meat. It's especially expensive because we only buy pastured and grassfed meat products but our outlook is long-term: We believe in paying the expense now and not the healthcare costs of eating factory farmed meat later. And the reason our ground beef is so expensive is because it's based on the price per pound of all our beef, so a rib roast and ground beef net out the same.
- Why beef and not chicken, you might ask? Actually, our beef is more economical. I had wanted to start of the week roasting a chicken and make three meals out of it but a pastured chicken costs a lot more than a factory farmed bird (which I cannot stomach).
- The greens, which we get biweekly from our CSA, Mud Lake Farm, are also pricey. But they are fresh, local, and in season, right from a greenhouse in Hudsonville, Michigan.
- I was definitely hungry and ready to eat as each mealtime approached, although dinner was the most filling.
Here are some more photos of the foods we consumed today:

The Atlanta Braves finally win in Miami. The Braves used to win against the Miami Marlins pretty consistently, but as baseball evolves, so have the Miami Marlins. The National League East have 5 teams who have rebuilt their teams, hired new General Managers, and signed top free agents just to stay competitive. All baseball teams are obviously, but the Braves are in the NL East and that's who I follow.
One of the exciting things about last night's game was how the Braves battled back. The Braves were down but they hit 3 homeruns last night. Freddie Freeman continued his hot hitting streak and hit his 3rd homerun last night with a solo shot. The man of the hour last night was Ender Inciatre. He hit 2 home runs and made a great diving catch in center field to rob a base hit from the Marlins lineup. Jaime Garcia started the game for the Braves but was not involved in the final outcome. Jim Johnson the Braves closer pitched a light's out 9th inning to secure the Braves win. Johnson had a blown save opportunity a couple of days ago against the Pittsburgh Pirates. His dominance on the mound last night was a welcomed relief, literally.
The Braves are off tonight before they enjoy a week at SunTrust Park in Atlanta. They will open their new ballpark in Atlanta on Friday night. The San Diego Padres will be the opponent as the Braves are hoping for a great home stand. Matt Kemp was placed on the 10 day Disabled List but he should return to the Braves lineup on Tuesday. Nick Markakis has taken the roll of clean up hitter and has filled that roll extremely well. Kemp presence in the lineup will be a welcomed addition as the Braves manager Brian Snitker shuffles the Braves lineup. It's still early in the season and it will be exciting to see how well the Braves perform at their new stadium. It will be a loud and exciting time in Atlanta Friday night. Let's hope last night's victory will ignite a winning streak for the Braves. GO BRAVES!!!!!

I need to make a correction based on a misperception on my part and an apology if this created some deep concerns on your part.

The Learner's Permit Story
And I got pulled over for speeding.
I didn't even have my damn Operator's License yet and I've already been arrested for a moving violation.
I was SO NERVOUS when the officer approached the car I nearly pissed my pants. Calm down. Calm down. OK. What is it they said in Driver's Education Class I was supposed to provide a police officer when asked? License and registration. I don't even HAVE a license yet. Well, I'm off to a bad start.
And that's what he asked for, "Let me see your license and registration ... Boy." They always have to use the obligatory, Boy. If you're a male, that is.
I reached into my wallet, hands shaking, and pulled out the paper Learner's Permit and handed it to the police officer. What I didn't know was that I'd accidentally picked up a folded $20 bill that was tucked in my wallet BEHIND the permit. I'd given that to the sunglass-wearing officer too.
Oh shit. Now my simple traffic violation has turned into a felony.
He, of course, commented on the $20, "What's this for ... Boy?"
Three things:
1. I wasn't trying to bribe him and told him so.
2. If I HAD been trying to bribe him, I sure as hell wouldn't have tried with a mere $20.
3. I didn't have enough money to give away $20.
Fortunately, as proof, my face turned white, my pants were wet and I was shaking so bad my voice was cracking, "N-n-nothing, S-s-s-sir. It was just in my w-w-w-wallet and I I I..." He cut me off, gave me back the $20, told me to slow it down and let me go.
Ever tried to push in a clutch with wet pants?

For some reason, I have.
And great story. Loved it. Here's a not-as-funny-response.
The town I live in (Athens, Ohio) has only a handful of roads and for reasons I still don't follow, set the speed limit for its busiest road at 25 miles per hour. It's got four lanes. Anyway.
Last year, I'm driving to Wal-Mart real quick while the rest of my roommates get ready to play street hockey. I'm a goalie so I don't need all the time for pregame skate maintenance like they do. Having missed lunch, I grab a baguette to eat on the way home before I get changed so I won't be famished for the game. I'm still in a rush, so I turn left out of the Wal-Mart parking lot on a green light and almost collide head-on with a car driving straight ahead (which is rare from that side). I mean, we were close. Yikes. Shaken but undeterred, I'm laying on the gas, driving with my left hand and shifting with my baguette hand.
Cop lights. Dammit. I pull over, put my bread in the center console and prepare for the worst.
"What was that?"
"What was what?"
"What'd you put down in the center there, what were you messing with?"
I reach for the half-eaten loaf of bread sitting by my gear shift.
He stared for a while.
"Do you know why I stopped you?"
"Anything else?"
"That thing at Wal-Mart back there?"
"Yeah, that thing at Wal-Mart back there. And you were going 43."
We did the obligatory license and registration dance, he walked back to his car, and that's when my phone started ringing.
My team's goalie was officially late and everyone I lived with decided to call me one right after the other until I picked up or...until Christ came back, I guess. Again, and again, and again, the bridge from "I Want To Be The Boy To Warm Your Mother's Heart" kept starting and I kept silencing it. Sweating, nervous and (worst of all) hungry, I figured even a quick "Call you back" would not have gone over well with a cop who thought I was a reckless, speeding, bread-munching idiot.
There's not much else except the officer refused to believe that I'd never had a citation before. Could not fathom it. Asked about 80 times. And I had to pay 99 bucks.
Life's funny.

Don't you just love it when a cop says, "..."?
I once burned a cop with a cigarette while handing him my driver's license. Actually twice. Same cop, same night. And he let me GO! But that's another story for another time.
Great story, Ryan!

When learning scales on the guitar, it is important to understand the concept of whole steps and half steps. These are the fundamentals of scale construction and they are absolutely crucial for building scales across the entire fretboard. Master these 2 basic concepts and you'll discover a whole new world of freedom when it comes to executing your scales.
First of all, a basic explanation of half/whole steps. These fall into the category of musical intervals, which are simply a measurement of distance between 2 pitches. Half steps (the smallest interval) equal the distance of one fret on the guitar. For example, when you play the 5th fret of the first string and then play the 6th fret of the first string, you have played a half step. If a half step is one fret, then a whole step must be 2 frets since 2 halves make a whole. In the previous example if you played the 5th fret to the 7th fret, you would have played a whole step. A scale is simply a preset pattern of half steps and whole steps. Below I have laid out the whole step/half step patterns for a major and a minor scale. The numbers represent the scale degree (or note), a "w" represents a whole step, and an "h" represents a half step. "8" is the octave which is the same note as "1", just an octave higher. I recommend working through this concept on a single string for a while, at least until you have mastered the major scale.
Major: 1 - w - 2 - w - 3 - h - 4 - w - 5 - w - 6 - w - 7 - h - 8 (1)
Minor: 1 - w - 2 - h - 3 - w - 4 - w - 5 - h - 6 - w - 7 - w - 8 (1)
Once you have mastered the single string concept, it is time to begin to learn what these intervals look like when you change strings. This can be difficult and frustrating at first but it is well worth the trouble. Begin with only one string change per scale and gradually work in more changes. Play the scale on a single string first, then use your ear to match the pitch where the string change occurs. The most important idea is to memorize what each interval looks like when changing strings and to develop a strong sense of muscle memory for each. This concept takes a lot longer to master but it will ultimately give you the ability to construct your own scale patterns on the fly rather than relying on memorizing dozens of predetermined scale patterns. Hint: the intervals will look different when changing between the 3rd and 2nd strings due to the standard tuning of the guitar.

Our office specializes in periodontal procedures which serve as the foundation for beautiful and long-lasting restorative procedures.
In many cases of dental decay, tooth fracture, or even in instances where an individual has "short" teeth, a crown lengthening procedure will allow your restorative dentist to properly construct an esthetic and functional crown, bridge, or restoration.
Crown lengthening is a simple surgical procedure in which Dr. Zavoral adjusts the position of the gum around the affected tooth, thereby providing a more solid tooth on which to anchor the restoration of choice. A functional crown lengthening will help you regain a beautiful smile and allow you to eat and speak with comfort and confidence.
A purely esthetic crown lengthening procedure to correct a "gummy" smile is often referred to as Gum Contouring.

The first through seventh ribs have a direct anterior atachment to the sternum (by cartilage) and these ribs are called true ribs (vertebrosternal ribs)
- articulations of the cartilages of the true ribs with the sternum are arthrodial
joints, with the exception of the first, in which the cartilage is directly
united with the sternum, and which is, therefore, a synarthrodial articulation
ligaments connecting them are:
- Articular Capsules - capsules surround the joints between the cartilages of the true ribs and the sternum
- Interarticular Sternocostal - consist of broad and thin membranous bands that radiate from the front and back of the sternal ends of the cartilages of the true ribs to the anterior and posterior surfaces of the sternum
- Radiate Sternocostal - only found constantly between the second
costal cartilages and the sternum
- the second rib is connected with the sternum by means of an interarticular ligament, attached by one end to the cartilage of the rib, and by the other to the fibrocartilage which unites the manubrium and body of the sternum
- occasionally the cartilage of the third rib is also connected with the first and second pieces of the body of the sternum by an interarticular ligament.
- more rarely, similar ligaments are found in the other true ribs (four, five, six, seven)
- Costoxiphoid - these are ligaments that connect the anterior and posterior surfaces of the seventh costal cartilage, and sometimes those of the sixth, to the front and back of the xiphoid process
The remaining five pairs of ribs are called false ribs because their costal cartilages do not attach directly to the sternum. The cartilages of the eighth, ninth and tenth ribs attach to each other and then to the cartilage of the seventh rib. These false ribs are also known as vertebrochondral ribs.
The eleventh and twelfth false ribs are designated as floating (vertebral ribs) - this is because their anterior ends do not attach even indirectly to the sternum. They attach only posteriorly to the thoracic vertebrae.

A new wave of ransomware is specifically targeting Apple devices.
iPad, iPhone and Mac owners in parts of Australia are reporting that their devices are being held hostage. On their phones, tablets, and Macs, they are seeing messages on the screens demanding $50 to $100 to gain access to their gadgets.
If you don't pay the ransom, you don't gain access to your device. There is a work-around. But first, how did the bad guys get in?
Time Magazine is reporting that it appears that whoever's behind this has gotten ahold of people's iCloud usernames and passwords, then used the Find My iPhone feature to remotely lock devices, demanding payment in order to unlock them. Now, that's pretty clever.
One iPhone user, a Fairfax Media employee in Sydney, said she was awoken at 4 a.m. on Tuesday to a loud "lost phone" message that said "Oleg Pliss" had hacked her phone. She was instructed to send $50 to a PayPal account to have it unlocked.
If you have a passcode on your device, you will be able to unlock it after the hacker has sent you the message demanding payment. Ignore the hacker's message and simply enter your 4-digit PIN.
Those who had not set a passcode are unable to access their device. Your best bet is to bring your phone, tablet or Mac down to the Apple store and ask them for help.
It's just a matter of time before this attack spreads beyond Australia.
What should you do?
Set up passcodes on your devices. Change your iCloud password too.
For your Mac, read this tip that shows you how protect from snoops.
