I just hosted a office lunch with food picked up from Smoky Jon"s. Everyone LOVED the various BBQ meats, man those ribs are something else they are great!! Great job as usual with the food, Thanks.

Probably some of the best barbeque I've had to date. The sauce was perfectly twangy and spicy. Meat was nicely cooked and was lean. Will be returning soon!

The ribs and sauce were fantastic - crispy outside, juicy inside, smoky, and tender. The sides were disappointing though. They were very small and not well seasoned (the potato salad and coleslaw could use a bit more salt & pepper, and the mac & cheese was too salty to finish eating).According to the menu, you can save $1 on a dinner platter by not ordering sides, and that's what I'd recommend. Go here for the meat!

The best place in madtown for ribs. Everything is smoked great. The only thing I wish they did was skin the ribs first. But if they did they may not survive the smoke to the plate with how fall off the bone they are. Loven the seasoned corn side. Come hungry leave stuffed

The owner thanked me for a 4 star rating and it got me thinking. Usually I'm just prompted by Google to give feedback, so I'm not a connoisseur, nor do I go out of my way to make ratings. Let me clarify then, that I held off on a full 5 stars for some fairly minor reasons. The flavor should have taken this into a solid maximum rating, but my friend thought he was going to get a brisket sandwich (and only got the sliced), and mine, in the combo meal, looked like it was shredded for a sandwich, but was not in a sandwich. Moving past that (and other minor confusion about the menu) this is some excellent BBQ. I'm literally craving it now, again, not 24 hours after, and I don't really care if it's in sandwich form or not.

Fantastic BBQ! The food was NOT dry. Delicious! Sides were tasty. Even took home some sauce in a bottle. The man himself, the creator of Smoky Jon's, was there and talked with everyone. I know he is not there all the time but it he showed a care and concern for each person there making sure it was a good experience. Let's just say the food does that on it's own though. Highly recommend!

I had the brisket, Mac and cheese and fries. Everything was outstanding and the bbq sauce was possibly the best i've had. Visiting from Vegas, I'll be back!

Very good BBQ! The only thing that bummed me out was that I saw all these awards for a variety of different sauces; having moved here from Georgia, I was really looking forward to trying the spicy vinegar. Not that Jon's house sauce isn't fantastic, but it kinda felt to me like the awards that are displayed are for products that aren't available to the public.But I'll be back at some point.

Lived in Madison most of my life and this is the first time that I can remember that I've been to Smoky Jon's. The lady at the register was awesome. We ordered the ribs. The service was fast and the ribs were excellent. Its a smaller place with limited parking. I was ok with the plastic utensils. Carry out seemed popular. Will try that next. Owner even stopped by to say hi. Thanks
20:13 02 Jul 19
Best barbecue in the state. Their ribs and sauce are legendary and have won awards all over the country.You don't expect to find award winning barbecue in a little shack next the airport in the middle of Wisconsin, yet there it is. If it's your first time, get a full rack of ribs, fries and corn. You will forget about everything until it's all gone. So tender. Next time try some pulled pork or some brisket. It's all fantastic.Do not miss an opportunity to go to Smoky Jon's.

Excellent BBQ joint. Pork shoulder, beef brisket and ribs always good. Most plates come with two sides. I recommend the spicy corn and baked beans. The only downside is that it is a small place but if you want to eat in they will not cook your meal until a table opens.

I have been reading and hearing about Smokey Jon's BBQ in Madison for years. Most accounts say it is the best BBQ place Madison if not the entire state of Wisconsin. With more than 100 awards, including many national and world awards, Smokey Jon's is rated a must stop for anyone who enjoys barbecue. And, I fit into that category.Usually in Madison around business activities, I never took the time to stop until the other day when I stopped for lunch. Now, it is going to be a must stop every time I am in Madison.Smokey Jon's is located in a nondescript building on a busy street on Madison's east side. There is virtually no parking, but I was lucky to find a spot along a side street. This mainly a takeout type of place although there is a cozy little seating area with about 12 tables.You order your meal at a "hole in the wall" counter from a very pleasant cashier/server. The menu is a large, painted sign over the counter and it took me several minutes to read through all the meal options. Finally, I selected the 1/3/Slab and Smoked Pork Shoulder Sandwich dinner knowing that I would have leftovers for dinner that night. My meal came with 2 side dishes. I chose applesauce and buttered corn from the 10 options available.The server brought my meal to the table in less than 5 minutes. The 1/3 slab of ribs was smothered with their "famous" barbecue sauce. The ribs were perfectly smoked; they were meaty, juicy and falling off the bone tender with a nice bark. The sauce had a nice zip but was not overpoweringly hot. It was one of the best barbecue sauces I recall ever eating. I can see why it won a world award for barbecue sauce. My only problem is there was only 1/3 slab of the best ribs I have eaten in a very long time.The Smoked Pork Shoulder sandwich was a mound of shredded pork on a rather plain sesame seed roll. The barbecue sauce was served on the side. I sampled the sandwich meat but saved the sandwich itself for dinner. The real surprise of the meal though was the corn. It had a spicy, roasted buttery flavor that was a surprise.Smokey Jon's gets my vote for best barbecue in Wisconsin.

Portions and flavor of food are excellent! The sauce had a little more heat to it than I would typically like (I'm not big on heat, personally), but it was delicious, and worth it. We left uncomfortably full, and craving more!

The chicken was seasoned and fall of the bone perfection. The ribs were good but not great, it was the sauce for me I just didn't really care to much for. The sugar biscuits are super yummy. All and all I would definitely go back to eat there.

Pranzo on Okaloosa Island is a longtime local favorite for Italian dining. Earlier this year they closed for remodeling and also updated their menu, adding more seafood and keeping some of the classics.
Pranzo on Okaloosa Island is a longtime local favorite for Italian dining. Earlier this year they closed for remodeling and also updated their menu, adding more seafood and keeping some of the classics.
The food
We began our meal with a sampling of Pranzo�s three types of bruschetta. They were topped with ingredients such as portabella mushrooms, gorgonzola, eggplant, and the more traditional tomato.
My friend and I both chose dishes with seafood in them. He stuck with the more traditionally Italian seafood cannelloni while I chose gulf shrimp saut�ed New Orleans barbecue style.
Pranzo also will saut� clams and mussels in either the New Orleans sauce, scampi or marinara.
Our meals came with a choice of house or Caesar salad. My Caesar salad was almost a meal in itself, and I had trouble finishing it.
My shrimp came in a large bowl and were spicy, just as you�d expect from something New Orleans style. I�ll admit this was my first time trying this dish, so I�m not sure if the spices were right, but it was tasty.
My friend�s seafood cannelloni came stuffed with shrimp, scallops and jumbo lump crabmeat. It was topped with mozzarella and baked in a tomato cream sauce. He didn�t have any trouble finishing his meal, and when he offered me a bite, I made sure to grab a scallop.
We ended dinner with the cr�me brulee of the day which happened to be lemon. This cr�me brulee was lighter than others I�d had in the past and the perfect end to our meal.
Some of the other seafood dishes include triggerfish saut�ed in a light pinot grigio tomato sauce, grouper stuffed with lump crab cake stuffing and seared red fish topped with shrimp and covered in New Orleans barbecue sauce.
Classics on the menu include the penne carbonara, lasagna, lobster ravioli and scallop fettucine.
Pranzo also has a bar menu with tapas and gourmet thin crust pizzas.
The atmosphere
Pranzo�s updated look is warm and inviting with lots of browns and beautiful wood accents. Fellow diners ranged from a ladies night out to those who chose to dine solo. While the d�cor has an upscale feel, the waitstaff is friendly.
The service
Our waitress, Terri, was very attentive. They also have someone continuously making the rounds refilling drinks.
A final taste
Pranzo might not serve family style meals any more, but its updated menu has something everyone will like.

Do you have any good tips for teaching children about photography?
My daughter, whom just turned 11 in late May, has started to take an interest in Photography. As a mother with a passion for photography it is incredibly gratifying to know that I make my job look fun enough for my children to be possibly interested in it, because let's face it. If it isn't fun...they just aren't interested. My biggest tip would be to pace yourself. Trying to learn photography myself was frustrating. Trying to translate something so complicated to children can burn them out quickly. My best bit would be to find a good starter digital camera. I am hoping to teach my child how to shoot in manual mode, so when she gets older she has the tools to pursue it seriously if she wants to. Kids are very visual. They are also quicker learners than adults seem to be in my experience. Finding ways to make a game of things, and really learning to take it one thing at a time is best.

What are $d_1$ and $d_2$ for Laplace? may be running before walking.
When I tried to use the equations provided, the pricing became extremely lopsided, with the calls being routinely double puts. This is extremely unrealistic.
My guess was correct that a distribution closer to the ideal (whatever it is) would remove the volatility smile, proven here with European options assuming logLaplace (formula 1 page up): http://books.google.com/books?id=cb8B07hwULUC&pg=PA297&lpg=PA296#v=onepage&q&f=false
However, it looks like the fundamental assumptions even going back to risk-neutral have to be changed because all BS depends upon lognormality at some point whatever the derivation.
I've searched and searched, but I can't find anything that's worked out American option prices assuming a logLaplace distribution and not lognormality.
What is the American option price formula for a call assuming a logLaplace Distribution and not lognormality?

Why Switzerland?
Switzerland's rise as the epicenter of watchmaking is part skill, part luck. In 1541 Geneva outlawed jewelry on religious grounds, forcing jewelers in the city to take up the nascent art of watchmaking. Many outfits rose to prominence, particularly Abraham-Louis Breguet and Perrelet, who made watches for French royalty. Fast-forward to the World War I era: While foreign competitors had their watchmaking factories seized by governments or bombed to rubble, factories in neutral Switzerland stayed safe. Now the Swiss account for half of the world's watch production by value, and the Geneva seal – awarded only to the highest-quality mechanical timepieces – is the gold standard by which a watch is judged.
Because the Swiss can't make all the good watches, we offer up some worthy outsiders:
Lange & Sohne (Germany)
Lange I
Founded in 1845, shut down in 1948, then reopened in 1990, it makes pieces that are compared to Patek.
Sturmanskie (Russia)
Strela Chronograph
Despite claims to the contrary, Yuri Gagarin's 1961 Sturmanskie was the first watch in space.
Hamilton (United States)
The 128-year-old Pennsylvania company's watches were worn by GIs in World War II. Also: Elvis loved 'em.

Minnesota and Wisconsin state laws require vehicles to stop for school buses when the bus driver activates the flashing lights and has the crossing arm fully extended. Drivers need to stop at least 20 feet from the bus and remain stopped until the arm is closed and the bus begins to move.
Despite this, an estimated 828 vehicles per day illegally pass school buses in Wisconsin, according to Wisconsin School Bus Association. Minnesota isn't far behind, where as part of a School Bus Stop Arm survey 3,659 bus drivers counted 703 violations in one day.
On Monday, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety released the video that shows a Rosemount sixth-grader narrowly avoiding injury and possibly death after a motorist blatantly zoomed around a stopped school bus as the girl was walking in front of the bus to reach the street. The lack of a horn and her failure to hesitate, and the story would have been tragedy instead of a warning.
As of Aug. 1, 2017, motorists who violate the Minnesota law face a $500 fine, which is up from $300. In Wisconsin, an infraction can result in a fine of $326. If Minnesota's higher penalty results in reduced stop-arm violations (there have been roughly 8,800 citations from 2011-2016 or nearly 1,480 a year, so improvement should be simple to measure), then Wisconsin should consider raising its threshold.
Why would anyone risk the life of a child rather than stop for a few minutes? For the same reasons that people text while driving, talk on the phone while driving and drive too fast.
If you figure you won't get caught zipping by a bus or you can make it before the yellow flashers turn to red, think again. Keep in mind that school bus drivers are authorized to report stop-arm violations to law enforcement and more and more buses have video cameras mounted on the dash. And remember, the vehicle owner can be held responsible even if he or she wasn't the offending driver.
The only time the stop-arm law doesn't apply to you is when you're driving on the opposite side of a roadway that is divided by a median or other physical barrier. In essence, you're considered to be on a different road.
Here are a couple tips for the road:
Motorists, slow down, pay attention and anticipate school children and buses, especially in neighborhoods and school zones. Allow a little extra travel time during school start and stop times.
Students, when getting off a bus, look to be sure no cars are attempting to pass illegally on the shoulder between you and the curb. Then wait for the bus driver to signal that it's safe to cross the road.
Obey the bus stop-arm and flashers, use a little extra care and we'll all reach our destination.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Current policies to manage conflicts of interest of members of Medicaid drug selection committees are not transparent and vary widely, U.S. researchers say.
Nicole Yvonne Nguyen and Lisa Bero of the University of California, San Francisco, said it is important to manage conflicts of interest for drug selections or reimbursement to ensure products are selected based on evidence and with minimal bias and to protect against pharmaceutical industry influence.
The researchers said they searched official Medicaid websites and contacted Medicaid staff to identify drug selection committee conflicts-of-interest policies for all states with Medicaid Preferred Drug Lists -- 47 states and the District of Columbia.
"We found high variability in conflicts-of-interest policies, lack of public availability and inconsistent enforcement and management of conflicts of interest among states," the researchers wrote in the study.
A model policy should be publicly accessible, be comprehensive and provide explicit parameters for disclosure, be equally applicable to all committee members, include management strategies beyond disclosure and indicate a responsible party for review of conflicts of interest and enforcement of policies, the researchers said.
The study, published in Internal Medicine, said the most common management strategy was disclosure of conflicts of interest in 67 percent of policies and self-recusal in 52 percent of policies, but only 15 percent of policies banned certain relationships with industry.

Nearly my 30th fall season in this big state of Texas and I still haven't gotten over the yearning I feel for the fall foliage of my younger years growing up on the east coast. So I like to take long walks and sometimes long road trips in search of fall foliage.
Behind our house is a greenbelt of sorts with a walking trail. On a gently sloping hill is a stand of Flame Leaf Sumac trees. Beautiful reds, oranges, and yellows.
While these may not be foliage, per se, the tuna of the prickly pear cactus (below) provides luscious shades of pink which slowly ripen to deep maroon. I picked a bucket full of these beauties, by the way, to make my specialty prickly pear cactus juice. Read more about my adventures in prickly pear juice here and here.
Sometimes we don't have to walk too far. In front of our house we planted several Crepe Myrtles. What a nice surprise to find they produce red leaves in November.
And in the back yard my husband Sam found and planted trees with the express purpose of proving to his
The tree with the yellow leaves on the left is a Chinese Pistachio. And to it's left and seen closer in the picture on the right is a Big Tooth Maple (surrounded by protective wire to keep the deer from chewing at its bark). This is the type of maple that grows prolifically in Lost Maples State Natural Area located in the beautiful hill country town of Vanderpool, Texas, one of my most favorite road trip destinations.
As of this weekend Sam and I are celebrating 21 years of marriage. What better way than with a little fall color appearing annually indoors, too.

Accommodations in Roquetas de MarClose to Almería, the municipality of Roquetas del Mar counts eight beaches along the length of its coast, of which the best equipped is that belonging to the Urbanización de Roquetas del Mar. Also well-known are Playa de la Serena, that adjoins the golf courses, and Aguadulce, whose town is considered a tourist interest. These are the most visited, offering the EUs Blue Flag standard and a mountain of tourist services.
A few beaches are less accessible and dont have the infrastructure for beach tourism, but they remain pleasant to visit: these include Playa de los Bajos and Rompidillo, a windy beach accessible by an earth path between Roquetas del Mar and Aguadulce. Playa de los Cerrillos is another of these isolated beaches: found in the protected surroundings of Punta Entinas Sabinar, one can visit the nature reserve there. In Playa de las Salinas or Los Baños one can enjoy windsurfing.
All the beaches of Roquetas del Mar are a mix of sand and gravel that not everyone finds pleasant, and some kind of wading shoe is recommended.
Apart from the beaches, one of the areas great attractions is the municipality of Roquetas del Mar, a place whose corners transport you to the epoch of Al-Andalus. You can visit the castle and the fortifications of this era, the watch towers, the archeological deposits, the rock cave, and the Indalo, a rock formation converted into the symbol of the city. And not to forget the Reef Barrier of Posidonia: it has been catalogued as a Natural Monument and is one of the few prairies of Posidonia [a flowering sea grass] left in the Mediterranean.
Every night at the foot of the Castillo de Santa Ana you can see free street shows with music of every kind.
Close to the castle and the Puerto Deportivo is a multitude of restaurants and ice-cream shops that remain open late in summer.
Being a family-oriented tourist site, there arent many discoteques: there are a few near the Plaza of Bulls, but it is not a site in which they proliferate, therefore limiting night time activities to the mall or the cinema, or to enjoying the restaurants and the proximity of the beach.

Within the past two decades, there has been a major influx of options concerning internet providers in Dorothy, WV. Every year, advancements are made that make each company able to offer special services. Any business that has been with the same provider for a number of years would do well to check out other options. But every provider will have different unique limitations on what they can and will provide. For example, availability will be one issue that many will face. Many internet providers have a smaller distribution network available to their customers. Make sure that you research each option to find the one that is accessible to your geographical area. You'll find that the common types of internet connections in Dorothy, WV are: DSL, cable, satellite, fiber optic, fixed wireless, and T1.
Most ISP providers in Dorothy, WV provide more than just internet. They usually have a package of deals available to their customers. As a business, you should find the internet company that gives you all of the services that you will need to succeed, such as business phone service, email, and business web hosting. When these services are bundled together, it can save your company a great deal of cash. Many internet providers will offer internet connectivity as part of their full service package. They'll handle the aspects of the business to include support and service. These providers will also have the experience to get the job done correctly, reducing the expenses of needing to have an in-house expert available. This leads to lower costs in the future for the company.
An internet service provider should also offer consultative services. This means that an expert of the internet company will pay a personal visit to the business in question and access their various needs. They can suggest different ways for the business to improve, such as upgrading to newer technologies. A Dorothy, WV ISP should also be able to let the company know the amount of bandwidth that they need. This will be calculated on the number of employees that work within the company and how many devices are currently being used. A remote management of devices may also be suggested by the ISP provider to manage the business more effectively.
Many businesses can't afford to wait hours for data downloads and uploads to finish. Low-speed access costs less, but it may waste time and increase labor expenses. This is more likely to be a problem if the connection must be split among numerous devices. It's wise to carefully estimate bandwidth needs at times when the greatest number of employees simultaneously go online. Companies that provide free Wi-Fi access also need to consider customer usage.
Dorothy, WV businesses should ask ISPs if they cap bandwidth or use throttling. Download speeds may drop to a certain level when firms exceed a specific amount of bandwidth. Companies also ought to find out if downloads are limited at certain hours of the day. An internet service provider's terms and conditions may reveal additional limitations. A promotional headline that makes reference to "unlimited" access could be deceptive.
Some commercial internet providers in Dorothy, WV offer backup services. They can recover lost data when equipment failures occur in the office. Numerous firms continue to make and store their own backups. However, an off-site service generally provides greater protection. This can prevent the loss of crucial data if a fire or flood destroys the office. It's best if the off-site backup is located in a distant facility.
Desirable business internet providers include security software or services with access. Businesses can benefit from anti-spyware, anti-virus and anti-spam features when they choose these companies. Be sure to learn about and read reviews of the specific security systems that an ISP uses to protect its clients. Some providers include software that also safeguards portable devices like smartphones and tablets.
Internet service providers in Dorothy, WV always offer some types of assistance, but it is crucial for businesses that depend on the internet for their services to have more support. Such business need good internet connections to ensure that their workers are productive and they make sales.
Businesses need to choose ISPs that offer Service Level Agreements that guarantee (nearly) uninterrupted uptime. What kind of remedy does the ISP offer in case connectivity gets interrupted? Typically, ISPs offer credits off the bill when the connection is interrupted for more than a specified duration.
Businesses should also determine how competent the technical experts are at handling various issues. They should also ask whether the ISPs have support telephone lines dedicated to businesses.
Finding out the services that have successfully helped other businesses is recommended. Wirefly lets you compare the business internet plans that are available in Dorothy, WV. The service gives guidance that is based on experience. Many websites simply give information about what people can find but do not really provide good internet solutions for businesses.
Certain areas of the country may offer limited choices when it comes to a business ISP. However, companies should still do an in-depth comparison before making their selection. This way companies can be certain of getting the most for their money. For instance, businesses in Dorothy, WV deserve an ISP that is prepared for the rapid advances in future technology. A good ISP will be able to adjust their services to keep up with the ever-evolving internet.
Moving forward businesses will need to transition to an IPv6 connection for all their internet services. This means that business ISPs must already be thinking about these issues. IPv6 is set to replace the old IPv4, as it provides a limitless number of IP addresses for websites. IPv6 also makes it easier to configure the internet, which should ultimately lead to greater savings for businesses when connecting to the internet. Ask those ISPs if they have started using IPv6 before deciding which one to use for internet service. It just may dramatically reduce expenses and increase production soon.
Wirefly offers great deals on a large selection of smartphones, cell phones, tablets, mobile hotspots, and other wireless devices for the nation's most popular carriers. Use Wirefly's innovative cell phone and plan comparison tools to ensure you are getting the best deal on the market. Shop with confidence knowing that Wirefly wants to help you find the best prices on cell phones, cell phone plans, TV, and Internet service.

A Traveller's Perspective: Things Every Hostel Bedroom Should Have October 4, 2011Posted by Lauren Cooke in Travel.
Tags: comedy, Hostels, the perfct hostel, Travel, travel blogging
2 comments
Hostels, it seems, are easier to get wrong then they are to get right. I have stayed in so many hostels now, and some have been great. Some have tried hard, yet fallen at every hurdle. Some haven't tried at all, and it has shown with painful clarity. Yet more fall into that dull and neatly disappointing limbo between being a dosshole, and being somewhere liveable. The sort of place you sleep in, and then promptly forget about.
Personally, I don't see what all the fuss is about. Why is it so hard to get right?! Surely a simple set of facilities and little extras can make a hostel guaranteed to be the recipient of excited reviews and positive life-choice-affirming praise?
So, let's go through it room by room. This is what it takes to be the perfect hostel… starting in the bedroom!
1. You should be able to sit on either the top OR bottom bunk without smashing your skull on the bed above, or on the roof.
2. Beds should be long enough for people of significant height to sleep in. I'm not saying you should cater for the occasional Scandanavian giant who stoops through your doors, but for "normally" tall people, be nice!
3. Bunk ladders should be easy to climb – preferably with flat steps to reduce pain on those annoying midnight toilet runs.
4. All bedding should be changed for new guests, including the duvet covers. EVEN if you use top sheets. New bedding should ideally smell fresh and like home, on a really clean day.
5. For god's sake, don't charge for bedding, you tight bastards! Also, be climate suitable and have blankets available.
6. Mattresses should be firm and not lumpy. In the same vein, pillows should be of medium depth to suit the majority.
7. Please stop beds squeaking. Not only is it annoying, but it's a surefire way to make sure everyone is awake and paying attention to the amorous couple who rolled in drunk at 3am.
1. Everyone should have a locker. Most people won't use it, but that one person will want it and you'll make them really happy.
2. Beds should come with a personal light. A gentle one, that doesn't light the room up like a sun in supernova when you can't find your tissue in the wee hours.
3. Bins. In rooms. Empty them often.
4. Every room hould have a full-length mirror with good lighting, and a silly sticker that says "Don't worry, you look amazing" and "Remember, everyone else is travelling too".
5. Two coat hooks on each bunk bed.
6. It isn't vital, but a clothes horse of some description doesn't half help. When you've just given yourself blisters washing socks in the sink it is really depressing to realise there's nowhere to hang them!
7. Windows are great for letting light in. At daybreak. Give us curtains, please. If the windows can open for hot days too then that would reduce the frequency of boiled-alive syndrome in stuffy dorms.
8. Extras are always appreciated. A chair or beanbag in a corner, a little table, some pretty pictures of the local area. Anything that can make you feel a little more home when on an alien continent. Rugs are good.
Have I forgotten anything, travellers?

As summer swings into full gear it's a good time to consider the effects of the booming noise from fireworks and thunderstorms on dogs.
The afternoon rumbling off in the distance confirms the onset of another round of thunderstorms. Some dogs don't seem to be bothered by them, while others hide, bark, or seek comfort from their owners. As we busily prepare for Canada Day and the Fourth of July celebrations, it's important to consider that the noise created by fireworks is similar to that of thunderstorms when they roll through.
Fear of loud noises is common in dogs and arises from their natural instinct to survive. When they face a threatening situation (strange sound, animal, or person, etc.), fear is nature's way of protecting them from harm. The dog's fear alerts him to potential danger and stimulates a "fight or flight" response to keep him safe by either approaching the danger or fleeing from it.
The problem is that some dogs have an excessive fear of thunderstorms and develop a phobia. These dogs react adversely to the noise but also to the associated lightning, change in barometric pressure, windy conditions, and darkening sky. When thunder-phobic dogs get really scared, they act out.
There are steps you can take to deal with thunderstorm (and fireworks) phobia.
- Provide "white noise" for your dog with a white noise machine or fan, or simply turn on the radio or television.
- Take your dog to the most soundproof area of your home, like your basement or an inner room. Turn on the radio or white noise machine in this room. Provide your dog with his bed and favorite toy and keep a water dish in the room while in there.
- Consider using a dog crate. If your dog enjoys being in his crate, move it to a quiet inner room or cover it with blankets. The blankets will help to block the light show created by lightning and muffle the sound of the storm or fireworks.
- Distract your dog with toys, or treats in a Kong toy to keep him preoccupied.
- Try to desensitize your dog to storms. Instead of following the above steps only when it storms, let your dog experience the "safe room" between storms too.
- Some dogs respond well to "swaddling," much as newborn babies do. Many dogs feel secure when placed in a weighted dog vest or anti-anxiety wrap – ask your veterinarian about these options.
- Never set fireworks off near your dog – leave him at home.
Don't let summer thunderstorms and patriotic festivities agitate your dog. Take some time to prepare him for the inevitable "booms" that will happen this summer!

AVIANO AIR BASE, Italy -- Airmen assigned to the 603rd Air Control Squadron here were greeted by hundreds of family members and friends Jan. 19 as they returned home from their final deployment in Southwest Asia before the squadron is inactivated later this year.
The 603rd ACS, one of two Air Force theater air control systems in Europe, is being inactivated as part of a larger effort to help meet Budget Control Act resource levels.
The squadron has a rich history with roots reaching back to the very beginnings of the Air Force. It was officially activated as the 603rd ACS on Dec. 31, 1945 under the Army Air Corps. The squadron's early years provided air control for major air operations, including support of the Berlin Airlift.
Since 9/11, the squadron's operations have been essential to providing deployed Airmen the control of the skies over Afghanistan and Iraq. The squadron also supported Operation New Dawn and operations in the Horn of Africa, said Lt. Col. Stephen Carocci, who is the commander for both the 71st Expeditionary Air Control Squadron and the 603rd ACS.
"I had a majority of my squadron deployed in Southwest Asia, who on a daily basis provide battle management and command and control over the skies of Afghanistan and support for the Gulf region," Carocci said. "While it will be sad knowing this squadron is making its last deployment, I know it's in the best interests of the Air Force as a whole for the squadron to be inactivated."
Since the start of the squadron's deployment in July, the squadron controlled 129,000 miles of airspace, assisted in 50,000 combat missions, controlled 41,000 aircraft and supported three rescue missions. Seeing this direct impact on the war effort makes being a member of the 603rd ACS an extraordinary experience for its Airmen.
"Coming from a career field where it isn't a guarantee to be a part of an air control squadron, has made this assignment meaningful," said Senior Master Sgt. Jamie Kitchen, who has been a member of the 603rd ACS since October 2008. "Being able to go on these deployments, getting steel on target and supporting the guys on the ground who need air support is what makes this special."
Unfortunately, the squadron also had to deal with personal tragedy when it came to supporting the war on terrorism. Airman 1st Class Antoine Holt lost his life during a mortar attack and Senior Airman Scott Palomino lost his left leg below the knee during the same attack while they were deployed to Balad Air Base, Iraq, in April 2004. A memorial plaque was dedicated to Holt in 2006.
Chief Master Sgt. Virgil Horsley, who's last assignment will be with the 603rd ACS, said he wants to make sure the memorial is properly taken care of and not forgotten after the squadron leaves Aviano AB.
"Our squadron owes it to his family to remember his sacrifice," Horsley said. "As for Palomino, he has since gone on to run marathons with a prosthetic leg and by all accounts is one of the most positive people you will ever encounter.
While the final chapter of the 603rd ACS is being written, the commander said his Airmen have done an amazing job to leave a lasting mark.
"Our squadron's mascot is the scorpion, so we have dedicated this last deployment to be the Scorpion's last strike," Carocci said. "The air control community is small, so many of us will run into each other again in the future and remember what we accomplished while in the 603rd ACS."
603rd members who did not deploy spent the past few months breaking down the equipment to be sent to other units that will take over the squadron's responsibilities.
"Although the 603rd (ACS) is inactivating, I hope at some point the Scorpion strike is seen again in the future of our Air Force," Carocci said. "This squadron provides a unique opportunity to all those fortunate enough to be a part of it, and we will carry that on with us to our future assignments forever."

Smash Bros. for 3DS has been out for about a week and a half now here in North America and after a solid 50 hours I'm finally ready to set the game aside for a bit. In a surprise to no one, it is fantastic. Visually impressive running at 60 fps on a 3DS, a gargantuan and extremely varied roster, a ridiculous amount of trophies to collect with witty entertaining descriptions penned by the acclaimed writer of the Earthbound series, the introduction of custom moves adding some interesting variety to
In Fire Emblem Awakening there are many classes to choose from that allow each unit to specialize in certain types of weaponry and abuse certain skills that can be very helpful on the battlefield. Units use their weapons to gain experience and increase their weapon rank which in turn allows them to use better weapons. Healing is itself categorized as a weapon type and in most cases is able to be used in conjunction with another type of offensive weapon. Two classes however, the Cleric/ Priest and
I think we can all agree that A/I in games can be one of it's most frustrating aspects. It seems as though their main goal is to go out and get themselves killed as fast as possible or compromise your position in the worst possible way. I could use numerous different games as examples, but today I will be using Fire Emblem Awakening as it is what prompted me to write this.
Tactics games such as this require a lot of careful thought and planning of each and every move. It's
Everything that has been said about this issue has been talked about ad infinitum, however now that we actually got to see an episode posted legally online in action, I think it is worth discussing how it was rolled out. This is simply an account of my personal experience so take it for what it is worth.
Networks posting entire episodes of a series to their respective websites with ads is nothing new, it's been picking up traction for quite some time now and to be honest, no one has really

|There is a finite amount of fresh water available for use by water users (geologic processes, plants, animals, and even humans). Thus, conflicts and disputes often arise over water allocation, especially in the western United States, where water reserves are already scarce. Water right systems and policies are designed to allocate water fairly even when water runs short. However, the science and legal principles behind these water right systems are difficult to communicate to stakeholders, leading to reduced participation and legitimacy of policies (Priscoli 2004; Reisner 1993). Earlier work suggests that interactive maps can support or enhance stakeholder knowledge creation or refinement by promoting exploration of map data (MacEachren 2000; MacEachren and Brewer 2004; Andrienko and Andrienko 1999). This study explores approaches to visualizing water rights policies at multiple scales in communities and landscapes of the Ruby River Basin in Montana. A series of interactive maps was created and shared with stakeholders to obtain feedback based on expert local knowledge. The results suggest that interactive maps are powerful vehicles for communicating water right policies to stakeholders if careful attention is paid to applying cartographic design principles in maps properly contextualized for local conditions. Results also suggest that interactive maps are particularly useful in multiple representations of data that cannot be conveyed effectively through symbology. Future research is needed to test whether such maps actually improve stakeholder knowledge and perception, and in turn spur public participation.

Confusing NYC Taxi Roof Lights Get Overhaul
Determining whether a New York City taxi is available or off-duty has always been a challenge. No more.
The Taxi and Limousine Commission voted Thursday to remove the guess work. A light simply will mean the cab is available. No light will mean it's not.
The confusion came from two sets of lights - one indicating availability and one that the cab was off-duty.
TLC Commissioner David Yassky said the off-duty light were confusing. He called the new system "plain, common sense."
The change will be completed during the taxis next scheduled inspections, between Jan. 1 and April 30.
Cab drivers will still be able to take as many breaks as they want. They also will be allowed to pick up passengers when they are off-duty.

Bottle of trichloroethylene, England, 1940-1960
Trichloroethylene is known as Trilene. It is a volatile liquid introduced as an anaesthetic agent in 1934. Trilene was used during labour. It was inhaled via a mouthpiece before each contraction. This provided pain relief rather than full anaesthesia. This bottle of trichloroethylene was made in England by Imperial Chemical Industries Limited. The use of Trilene in obstetrics has declined since the development of portable inhalers delivering nitrous oxide mixed with oxygen. Nitrous oxide is pleasanter to inhale and has fewer side effects.

Big Brother: Meet the Parents
You've heard of Big Oil and Big Tobacco. Now get ready for Big Parent.
Moms and dads from across the political spectrum have mobilized into an unexpected political force in recent months to fight the data mining of their children. In a frenzy of activity, they've catapulted student privacy — an issue that was barely on anyone's radar last spring — to prominence in statehouses from New York to Florida to Wyoming.
Story Continued Below
A months-long review by POLITICO of student privacy issues, including dozens of interviews, found the parent privacy lobby gaining momentum — and catching big-data advocates off guard. Initially dismissed as a fringe campaign, the privacy movement has attracted powerful allies on both the left and right. The American Civil Liberties Union is pushing for more student privacy protection. So is the American Legislative Exchange Council, the organization of conservative legislators.
( Full coverage of Beyond the NSA)
The amateur activists have already claimed one trophy, torpedoing a privately run, $100 million database set up to make it easier for schools to share confidential student records with private companies. The project, known as inBloom, folded this spring under tremendous parent pressure, just 15 months after its triumphal public launch.
Now, parents are rallying against another perceived threat: huge state databases being built to track children for more than two decades, from as early as infancy through the start of their careers.
Promoted by the Obama administration, the databases are being built in nearly every state at a total cost of well over $1 billion. They are intended to store intimate details on tens of millions of children and young adults — identified by name, birth date, address and even, in some cases, Social Security number — to help officials pinpoint the education system's strengths and weaknesses and craft public policy accordingly.
( Also on POLITICO: The big biz of spying on little kids)
The Education Department lists hundreds of questions that it urges states to answer about each child in the public school system: Did she make friends easily as a toddler? Was he disciplined for fighting as a teen? Did he take geometry? Does she suffer from mental illness? Did he go to college? Did he graduate? How much does he earn?
"Every parent I've talked to has been horrified," said Leonie Haimson, a New York mother who is organizing a national Parent Coalition for Student Privacy. "We just don't want our kids tracked from cradle to grave."
Eager to support technological innovation and wary of new regulations, Congress has taken little notice of parent concerns. But state legislators have raced to respond.
( Also on POLITICO: Big Data watches you, unchecked)
In the past five months, 14 states have enacted stricter student privacy protections, often with overwhelming bipartisan support, and more are likely on the way. None of the bills address all the concerns parents have raised, but the latest iterations — in Louisiana and New Hampshire — take strong steps to limit the scope of state databases and restrict the use of information collected on students.
All told, at least 105 student privacy bills were introduced this year in 35 states, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
"Our voices are getting stronger," said Rachael Stickland, an energy-efficiency analyst who had never worked on anything more political than a community garden until she began organizing a student privacy campaign in Colorado. "We are being heard."
The POLITICO review found ed tech entrepreneurs and school reformers both bewildered by and anxious about the backlash — and struggling to craft a response.
( Also on POLITICO: For sale: Student 'hopes and dreams')
Many said they had always assumed parents would support their vision: to mine vast quantities of data for insights into what's working, and what's not, for individual students and for the education system as a whole.
"People took for granted that parents would understand [the benefits], that it was self-evident," said Michael Horn, a co-founder of the Clayton Christensen Institute, an education think tank.
Instead, legitimate questions about data security have mixed with alarmist rhetoric in a combustible brew that's "spreading like wildfire" on social media, said Aimee Rogstad Guidera, executive director of the Data Quality Campaign, a nonprofit advocacy group for data-driven education.
That fear, Guidera said, "leads to people saying, 'Shut it down. No more.'"
Guidera hopes to counter the protests by circulating videos and graphics emphasizing the value of data. But she acknowledges the outrage will be hard to rein in.
Could the parent lobby scuttle a data revolution that's been championed by the White House, pushed by billionaire philanthropists and embraced by reformers of both parties as the best hope to improve public education? "I do have that concern," Guidera said. "Absolutely."
( PHOTOS: Schools making adequate yearly progress)
When he heard about the state databases, retired math teacher John Eppolito got curious. He wanted to know what information his home state of Nevada had collected on his four children. So he requested their records.
The state's response: No such records exist. At least, no records as the law defines the term, said Judy Osgood, a spokeswoman for the Nevada Department of Education.
While the database stores "literally millions of pieces of data" about Nevada students, it's not kept in a format that allows officials to easily extract the complete file on any one child, Osgood said. The department estimated it would cost $10,000 in staff time to respond to Eppolito's request. The state attorney general issued a formal opinion that it did not have to go to those lengths.
Nevada is not alone. Just 14 states make student-level data easily accessible to parents, according to the Data Quality Campaign.
That opacity infuriates parents and spurs dark whispers about Big Brother.
( Sign up for POLITICO's Morning Education tip sheet)
"We don't know what they're tracking and we don't know what the implications are going to be for these children in the future," Eppolito told TheBlaze TV. "Going for jobs in the future, trying to get into college — we're in uncharted territory and we just don't know the implication it's going to have for the children. We need to slow down."
Database advocates say there's nothing sinister about the projects. On the contrary, they see them as a prosaic — if powerful — tool for improving public policy.
Do kids who struggle with mastering emotions as toddlers get suspended more often than their peers as teens? Are they more likely to drop out of high school? End up in low-wage jobs? And which interventions, at age 3 or 4, might improve their trajectory? The hope is that databases will answer those questions.
Advocates also talk with excitement about using the data to identify an individual student's precise needs — and the best way to meet them.
"The vision is, this changes outcomes," Guidera said.

Greek Privatization Could Benefit From S&P Upgrade

Jus Solis - Right of soil versus Jus Sanguinis - Right of Blood?
Countries usually practice one or both of these rights. Many "regain" old European heritages when times get hard - especially from African and South American countries. Argentinians and South-Africans are quite famed for it. (Kevin Pietersen comes to mind)
Others gain a whole new heritage by right of soil - after what could possibly make you more American than being born the US of A
Some countries refuse to accept Jus Sanguinis - some refuse Jus Solis.
What do you think?
If tomorrow we were to create a whole new country in the middle of Central Asia, should we try and populate it with Jus Solis or Jus Sanguinis?

Arsene Wenger stands by his Arsenal players after shock cup defeat at Bradford
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger stood by his players after the defeat by Bradford in the Capital One Cup quarter-finals.
Last Updated: 12/12/12 12:13pm
The home side took the lead when Garry Thompson volleyed in but Thomas Vermaelen headed in two minutes from time to send the match into extra-time and penalties.
Bradford twice failed from the spot but Santi Cazorla, Marouane Chamakh and Vermaelen were equally culpable to hand the League Two side a 3-2 success on penalties and a place in the semi-finals for the first time in their history.
"Congratulations to Bradford, they had a good start and after that they defended well," Wenger said.
"Overall we had many chances. The keeper had a great game and we couldn't convert our chances.
"When you go out it's never good enough at Arsenal. I think we lost on penalties to a team who defended well.
"I cannot fault the effort we gave for 120 minutes. You have to give credit to Bradford on the night. That's part of the game.
"You feel embarrassed when you don't give everything, I think (the players'll) be more disappointed and frustrated.
"It's not a lack of quality. We couldn't convert our chances for different reasons. Overall it was a real cup game.
"We will get over that. It's part of our club, it's what we do."
Wenger felt the surface at Valley Parade did not help the visitors.
"It was a typical English cup game on a difficult pitch and overall we lost on penalties but I cannot fault the efforts, we kept going until the last minute and in the end Bradford got on top of us. The pitch was a bit slippery and there was no space.
"Of course we missed three penalties and that's a lot to take."
The Gunners did not force a save out of Bantams keeper Matt Duke until the 69th minute but Wenger insisted his team had created enough overall.
"We played with a very offensive team and for over an hour played with five strikers but couldn't score.
"Where does it leave our season? To focus on the next game, sport is about that."

How to Set Internet Explorer's Security Zones in Windows 8
Regardless of whether your machine is running Windows 8 or an earlier operating system, Internet Explorer offers four security zones, each offering a different level of protection. When you add different websites to different zones, Internet Explorer treats those sites differently, placing restrictions on some and lifting restrictions for others.
Chances are good that you won't need to fiddle with the security zones in the desktop version of Internet Explorer. They come preset to offer the most protection with the least amount of effort. But if you're curious about Internet Explorer's zones, choose Internet Options from IE's Tools menu and then go to the Security tab in the dialog box that appears.
Here's the rundown:
Internet: Internet Explorer treats every website as if it were in this catch-all zone. This zone comes preset to offer Internet Explorer's "Medium-high" security level, which works very well for most needs.
Local Intranet: This zone is intended for websites running on an internal network. (Home users rarely have to deal with intranets because they're mostly found in corporations and large businesses.) Because internal websites are created in-house and are self-contained, this zone removes some security restrictions, letting you do more things.
Trusted Sites: Putting sites in here means you trust them completely.
Restricted Sites: If you don't trust a site at all but still need to visit it, place that shady site's web address in here. Internet Explorer then lets you visit the site but not download from it or use any of its plug-ins — small downloadable programs adding extra graphics, animation, and similar enhancements.
If you fiddled with the security settings and think you've changed them for the worse, you're not stuck. Just click the Reset All Zones to Default Level button on the Security tab.
