On Aug. 4, 1964, the day Barack Obama turned 3, the remains of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner were found in an earthen dam near Philadelphia, Miss. The grisly discovery came about six weeks after the three civil rights workers, all in their early 20s, were set upon by a lynch mob.
The disappearance of Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner spurred a national outcry that helped push the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to passage and into law on July 2nd of that year. The legislation, coupled with the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 – signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson two days after Barack's fourth birthday – not only changed the youngster's destiny, but altered the course of the country.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
That history, shared and personal, no doubt will be on the mind and lips of President Obama as he speaks at LBJ Presidential Library in Austin on Thursday to mark the golden anniversary year of the Civil Rights Act, a law intended to end the ugly institutionalized discrimination that long tarnished our nation. The President's keynote address at the "We Shall Overcome" summit stands as an opportunity for a defining speech about where we were and how far we've come – as well as how far we have to go.
It seems so simple – a law outlawing discrimination, nearly a century after the Civil War.
That's the word Johnson used the day he signed the Civil Rights Act: "The purpose of the law is simple. It does not restrict the freedom of any American, so long as he respects the rights of others. It does not give special treatment to any citizen…. It does say that there are those who are equal before God shall now also be equal in the polling booths, in the classrooms, in the factories, and in hotels, restaurants, movie theaters, and other places that provide service to the public."
That might have been the most eloquent and important presidential moment from Johnson, never a champion public orator and not a great public champion of civil rights for much of his political career. But he acted fiercely when the tides of history met simple right and wrong.
Johnson, even armed with the skills of persuasion that made him, as biographer Robert Caro put it, the master of the Senate, still needed to stand on the shoulders of his slain predecessor, John Kennedy, to pass the act as President. When warned he would be using valuable political capital gained after Kennedy's death to fight a losing battle, Johnson replied, "Well, what the hell's the presidency for?," according to "The Passage of Power," Caro's fourth and latest volume of his Johnson series.
That's a sentiment well understood, if not always acted upon, by Obama and every chief executive before him. This week's summit will feature speeches by three of the four living former presidents – Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, all sons of the south, men ages 67 to 89 whose lives spanned much of the 20th century U.S. civil rights movement.
Obama will be speaking Thursday, in a sense, for Lincoln, Johnson and all the presidents who acted when wrong bumped up against right. He'll be speaking for Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner, for Martin Luther King Jr. and for all the martyrs who consecrated the civil rights movement with their blood. He'll be speaking for the everyday people who suffered from discrimination at its worst, and those who benefited from the great law passed during that Freedom Summer.
He'll be speaking for himself, and, most of all, for a country that needs the occasional anniversary as a reminder of the value of looking back as it looks ahead.

Dodgers place Hanley Ramirez on the DL, recall Darwin Barney from Triple-A
The Los Angeles Dodgers placed shortstop Hanley Ramirez on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to August 9) with a right oblique strain and recalled infielder Darwin Barney from Triple-A Albuquerque.
Barney, 28 was acquired on July 28 from Chicago-NL in exchange for a player to be named later (minor league right-handed pitcher Jonathan Martinez) and optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque, where he went 9-for-35 (.257) with a double and an RBI in nine games at shortstop (6 G) and third base (3 G). Prior to being designated for assignment by the Cubs on July 22, Barney had hit safely in eight of his last 10 Major League games, batting .385 (15-for-39) with two doubles, two triples and an RBI, and hit .230 with two home runs and 16 RBI in 72 games overall. In the field, Barney committed only three errors in 504.0 innings in 67 games (55 starts) at second base.
Ramirez is batting .277 with 12 home runs and 58 RBI in 100 games this season.

The cabin was clean and comfortable which was equipped with everything to make our stay enjoyable and most of all we got to totally relax.
The dog loved being her watching the ducks walk past the cabin, though I think he was trying to work out what they were, the grass area near the water was good for him to run around.
Would I stay here again YOU BETTCHA did not want to leave

About the Collection
Known as The Painter of Light™, Thomas Kinkade became recognized as America's most collected living artist. Reflecting his modest background, Kinkade painted bucolic scenes with themes of simple pleasures and inspiring messages. With each brushstroke, Thom eloquently captured the beauty in the world with an instantly recognizable use of color and light.
As a devout Christian, Kinkade used his gift as a vehicle to communicate and spread inherent life-affirming values. Kinkade credited the Lord for both the ability and the inspiration to create his paintings. His goal as an artist was to touch people of all faiths, to bring peace, and joy into their lives through the images he created. The letters he received every day testify to the fact that he had achieved this goal.
As an Authorized Thomas Kinkade gallery, EVINE Live is proud to pay tribute with limited editions, framed art, canvas prints and other licensed products. Capture the beauty and tranquility of one the most widely collected artists in the world and display one of his masterpieces in your own home.
About the Guest
With more than 25 years of experience in the art business, Thomas' younger brother Patrick divides his time as a professor at Texas Christian University (TCU), and as an active member of the management team at Thomas Kinkade Company. A previous gallery owner and author of several books on Thomas Kinkade's travels, Patrick speaks regularly on Thomas Kinkade and his evolution as an artist. He is also actively involved in coordinating the Heritage tour and main events at Thomas Kinkade Galleries. Join Patrick for his first hand insight, as a brother and as an expert on the "Painter of Light."

Wellness Diva: Tiffanydenise
"I want to bring wellness and transformation into the life of millions," says Tiffanydenise with a confident tone.
[Wellness Coach]
The societal ills of obesity, broken homes, and lack of leadership are ever present within the Black community, destroying people's health and minds.
Entrepreneur and Wellness specialist Tiffany Newton is using the best weapon in her arsenal to address these woes. "I want to bring wellness and transformation into the life of millions," says Newton with a confident tone. She is the creator and CEO of Tiffanydenise, Wellness, Coaching and Consulting. She devotes herself daily to the business of improving other people's lives.
Tiffany Newton or Tiffanydenise as she prefers –Denise is her mother's middle name which she kept as homage to her— says she received inspiration when she came across Kevin Trudeau's book, Natural Cures They don't Want You To know About.
"As I read, the answers came and I chose to listen," she recalls. "I wanted to promote the working together of the mind, body and spirit."
As a "Wellness Diva" she maintains a hectic schedule. She is a published practitioner with a background in health and wellness. She has also worked in development, programming events and coaching 5- to 13 year olds at the Harlem YMCA.
She oversaw weekly talent shows for R&B singers, jazz musicians, designers, models and visual artists. Her other company is NIAIZM Inc., a communications firm whose name is derived from the Kiswahili word "nia," meaning purpose. Tiffany's believes everyone should lead a purpose-driven life and take care of their bodies and mind through proper nourishment.
"The things you consume have a direct impact on the body and eating right is the biggest part of your ability to have clarity," she says. "When people start changing their approach to their diet, it creates everything from lower back pains to low self esteem."
"Schools are not teaching us how to be whole beings or have relationships. It's about finding effective ways to live," she adds.
Her company, which has been in development for more than a year, officially launched at The Shrine, Bar and Lounge, about two months ago. The schedule of upcoming classes will be posted on www.mywellnesscoach.us.
The classes are tailored for individuals as well as schools and companies, and seminars and workshops range from as little as $18 per person. Some of the current offerings are; at home wellness coaching; alternative health and healing sessions; shopping for healthier alternatives; and, wellness parties, geared to introduce wellness through a fun environment. Tiffany says she plans to embrace all serious interest candidates by offering a sliding-scale for those of modest means.

Limiting the rights of SA
SA is an all powerful user. Even if you change the owner SA still can do anything with them. Treat the root cause and assign a strong SA password. I really cannot assess the impact of what assigning an SA password in your environment will be. However, worst case you could always change it back to blank (shock horror) if you discover any issues until you resolve them. The fact databases are owned by sa is not going to be affected by a password change.

text: I love names and always have. I'd spend a long time finding names for dolls and I was always interested in pronouncing French names in English or English names in French of people I knew (most only spoke one of the languages). When my cousin got pregnant with her baby in 2001, I really dove in. I had names chosen for that baby! She would have been either Rachelle or Mathis if I named her myself when she was born in 2001 but really she ended up with a much prettier name (with an uglier spelling): Lyliane.

Debug Camera Mode
There is a secret debug feature allowing free movement of the camera (game is paused). To use it, load any level from the skate shop, and watch the moving eyeball at the bottom-left corner of the loading screen. When the eyeball stops moving for the third time, press and hold START until the level is finished loading. It is hard to time the third pause, as it is extremely short, unlike the first two pauses, which are relatively long.
The game will be paused and in "camera mode" if done correctly: left analog stick pans camera, right analog stick moves camera left/right and forward/backward (like most first-person shooters), and R1/R2 moves camera up/down.
You will need to reset the Playstation 2, as there is no way to exit this mode.

Make Cruise Ship graphics disappear
When you start the level Cruise Ship, go straight ahead of you all the way to the end until you can go no further. Then, turn to your skater's right, and find the area where there are minipipe-like objects just before the greenhouse area. Activate the Moon Physics, then ride the minipipe-like objects. Continue to do so until you can transfer from those objects to the Cruise Ship's second floor. At that point, transfer there, and some graphics around that area will no longer be there. You will no look like you are skating on nothing!

Report of the Working Group on Auricular Acupuncture Nomenclature
(1991; 25 pages)
(1991; 25 pages)
A WHO Scientific Group met in 1989 and adopted a proposed standard acupuncture nomenclature for international use. On the basis of a recommendation made by this group, a Working Group met in Lyon, France 28 to 30 November 1990 with the following objectives:
- to review progress on the standardization of auricular acupuncture nomenclature;
- to finalize the discussion already begun on other auricular points;
- to consider other items for review and discussion; and
- to recommend future activities in acupuncture for the consideration of WHO.
This document includes a summary of the proceedings of the Working Group meeting - including charts and tables of the anatomy of the ear, the agreed to standard auricular acupuncture nomenclature, and nomenclature of auricular points not yet considered - and the text of several addresses.

Google+ gets group vid, Nokia still has a Pulse
Social networks for people who don't like people
Google+ is adding group video to its hangouts on Android, while Nokia Pulse gets updated for those who like their social networking a little less social.
Both networks are very mobile-orientated, but Nokia Pulse is primarily about geotagging content for sharing with groups of cloud-based friends while Google+ has bigger fish to fry. The latest Android client for Google+ enhances its real-time nature - and levers the rest of the Google portfolio - with video-enabled Hangouts getting archived to one's private YouTube channel as shown by this particularly-sickening video.
Using Google+ is a bit like visiting a theme park in the rain, during the school term, but at least there's some life - Nokia Pulse echoes with an almost post-apocalyptic emptiness. If you're a Windows Phone user then it still might be more attractive than the heavily-Android focused Google+, though Android-toting friends will be limited to the web-based version for the moment and, to be fair, it still claims to be in beta.
The Google+ Android client is now available in the UK, and very pretty it is too though the promised video hangouts aren't yet in evidence (the updated version is expected in the next few days).
Real-time hangouts are a key differentiator for Google+, while Facebook continues to ape Twitter's live text streams and Twitter keeps lifting features from its Chinese contemporaries. Competition is certainly driving social networks to innovate, and mobility is the focus - even the most proactive of users seem unwilling, or unable, to maintain more than two or three online identities.
Those identities are largely with Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter today, so in order to attract users Google and Nokia need a killer feature to get them to drop one of their existing networks. For Google+ that's hangouts with videos, for Nokia Pulse it's Windows Phone integration, but getting users to switch networks will be a tough job indeed.

Denver made a smart move in 1912: It passed the Mountain Parks Charter Amendment, kicking off a decades-long push to establish city-owned parklands beyond the city limits.
The parks would protect the land from development, provide citizens with some fresh-air destinations that weren't too far away (you can just see those early Model-T owners cranking their cars as they put-putted up through Morrison), and entice tourists (and their dollars) to our area.
Welcomed into the Denver Mountain Parks System during the first 30-odd years of its development: The North Gateway near Genesee, the South Gateway near Conifer, Bear Creek Gateway around Evergreen and Kittredge, Daniels Park, Winter Park and Mount Evans. Some of these are managed in conjunction with Jefferson and Douglas counties.

Save leftovers for lunch.
Tip: Not a tofu lover? This dish also goes well with leftover Thanksgiving turkey—either mixed in or on the side.
Ingredients and Preparation
- Press water from tofu by wrapping it between several layers of paper towels and then placing it between 2 dinner plates. Let sit for 15 minutes and then cut into cubes.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, scallions, garlic, and bulgur. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, until onions are tender.
- Stir in stock; bring to a boil and then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in tofu, squash, and cranberries and cook for another 15-20 minutes, until squash is tender, adding more stock as necessary.
- Stir in nuts and parsley. Season with freshly ground pepper.

You may call it behavior modification, but one of the most critical components – often overlooked – for a successful AR social media program or analyst relations management (ARM) application deployment is change management. Without a way to reinforce new habits, AR managers will find that their new initiatives will fade away as old habits and day-to-day activities displace the new behaviors (click on graphic to enlarge).
Change management does require specific techniques (e.g., monitoring activity, active intervention, and coaching), but the biggest issue for most managers is the investment of time. If the manager does not have time to be the change agent for the initiative, then they will need to assign one of their team members to that role and manage change through that person. It is also possible to out-task the change agent role, but the manager cannot out-task the accountability.
SageCircle Technique:
- Incorporate change management activity into the plans for major new initiatives
- Assign one person to have clear responsibility for change and hold them accountable
- If out-tasking the change agent role, determine how you will manage the third party firm and measure its effectiveness
- Add metrics for new behaviors into the goals for the entire team and individual team members
- Periodically review progress with the team and individual team members
Bottom Line: To overcome the inertia of long established habits, managers need to make change management a vital part of their plans for new initiatives, especially social media and ARM usage.
Question: Do you have a formal section in your AR plans for change management?
Don't Have the Time to be Your Team's Change Agent? SageCircle can Help.

I feel like I have a million things to say about my post yesterday, and about the comments you have sent my way. I think I will have to let my thoughts sizzle and mature for a day or two. Part II will follow.
I'm wearing a thrifted denim shirt, thrifted denim shorts and an old t-shirt from H&M.

Software developers were among the first users of cloud environments. Amazon, Microsoft, and Joyent all cater to developers with their public cloud services, and Hewlett-Packard also will emphasize developer tools in its upcoming cloud offering.
HP says it will run its cloud services, due to move out of beta testing later this spring, out of dozens of small data centers worldwide. It plans to have bindings--hardware interfaces--for Java, .NET, PHP, and Ruby.
Management tools for the new cloud environment will be simple, intuitive, and focused on supporting rapid development and providing sophisticated reporting and access control, HP says. As such, HP is clearly aiming to win over developers, with hopes that the software and services they create will remain in the HP cloud as they move into production.
Other providers are making it easier for developers to use their cloud services. Microsoft, with Windows Azure, isn't restricting developers to using .NET, even though Azure is a Windows Server-based environment. Microsoft provides language-specific SDKs for .NET, Java, PHP, and Node.js. A general Windows Azure SDK provides basic support for any language, including C++ and Python.

I got a lovely sugar thermometer for Christmas, I had such great plans of making jams and caramel and other delights which require boiling sugar to a specific temperature. So of course I popped it in my baking cupboard and promptly forgot I had it!
I would see recipes which required a thermometer and disregard them thinking I couldn't possibly make it without a thermometer! What a scatter-brain baker I am.
So the other day I was rummaging deep into my baking cupboard looking for Tupperware lids (I always end up with lots of boxes and no lids! How?) I came across this bizarre metal device... MY THERMOMETER!
This little find came at such a great time as I was just in the mood to do something new and exciting! I had seen Helen from Fuss Free Flavours talking about marshmallows on twitter and really wanted to give them a go, then I spied Niamh from Eat Like A Girl had blogged a really great recipe which explained exactly what each part did and how they worked (I love a bit of recipe science)...
So I added gelatine and extra sugar to my weekly shop and away I went!
I was pretty nervous about boiling the sugar, every time I thought about it I had images of Yasmin in the Great British Bake Off last year making caramel and burning herself and the caramel!
I have to say, it went swimmingly! The sugar boiled beautifully and not a single splash touched my skin. I chalk that up as a win!
I am not going to post the exact recipe, but to follow the one I used head over to Eat Like a Girl and check it out.
Niamh's recipe was really easy to follow but I must say I was a bit confused as to how long to whisk it for and what consistency it should be at the end. So after a quick google I found this video from The Joy of Baking.
It shows exactly what it should look like at the end before leaving it to set. I am really glad I watched it otherwise I might have massively under-whipped mine. In hindsight I think mine could maybe of done with a few more minutes in the Kitchenaid.
I placed the gloopy marshmallow fluff into a shallow baking tray which I had greased and powdered as per the recipe and I left it out on the kitchen bench for around 24 hours (mainly because I was hungover and forgot I had made them!)
I was worried about flies and the like feasting on my fluffy marshmallows so I built them a little house out of stacked cooling racks and a tea towel; worked a treat!
I was absolutely thrilled with how they turned out, they slid out of the tin with ease and were perfect to cut with minimal stickyness.
I even cut out some cute shapes using cookie cutters, my favourite was this little gingerbread man cutter, he looks so happy swimming in his hot chocolate jacuzzi.
I think with my next batch I might even pop these little guys on sticks and dip in chocolate/sprinkles!
The texture was so fluffy and light and the delicate vanilla flavours really shone through. I normally find store bought marshmallows a little sickly but these I could eat masses of (and I did!) and not feel too sick.
I really want to try different colours and flavours next, have you ever made marshmallows? I'd love to see some different styles and flavours!

Overseas Discovery
Bang Dosie World Heritage Exploration Team
POSTECH, through a wide variety of cultural exploration, supports and encourages students to develop their capacity as global leaders in a way of cultivating a global mindset and engaging in team activities.
The Bang Dosie World Heritage Exploration Team has operated since 2000. The scholarship fund was created with the generous support of the late Ms. Bang Myung-sook (Japanese name: Nakamura Dosie), a Korean who resided and later became a citizen of Japan, providing the opportunity for undergraduate students to explore the world's diverse cultures, arts, economy, science and technology and education so that they can cultivate a challenging spirit and global mindset.
Students themselves choose the regions and fields to explore and submit the exploration plan. POSTECH evaluates their documents and presentations to offer financial support to 2 or 3 teams that cover the expenses needed for the exploration.

Tunisia: Risk Assessment
Country Risk Rating
Business Climate Rating
- Progressive political transition
- IMF extended credit facility
- Economy in the process of diversification and a fairly skilled workforce
- Proximity of the European market and association agreement with the EU
- Tourist potential
- Mining production (phosphates and oil)
- High social and geographical inequalities and informal economy (50%)
- High unemployment rate, mainly among young people
- Significant economic weight of agriculture
- Tourism sector facing political and security problems and increased competition
- Social tensions leading to the proliferation of demonstrations and social unrest, particularly in the mining sector
- Imbalance of structural public accounts and significant increase in foreign indebtedness
Current Trends
Weak Growth in 2018
The recovery in 2017 driven mainly by the good performance of the agricultural sector and services should be consolidated in 2018. Activity was, however, negatively impacted by weak growth in the manufacturing sector and a decline in mining production. In 2018, the rise in foreign demand, supported by the expected growth of the European economies and the increase in competitiveness related to the depreciation of the dinar, is expected to favor the rise in manufacturing exports.
However, the rise in production prices could limit the growth of businesses heavily dependent on imports. Social tensions and the multiplication of strikes and social movements could, as in 2017, limit the expansion of the mining sector. The tourism and transport sectors will continue their recovery thanks to the efforts made by the authorities to improve security and the fight against the terrorism, in addition to the promotional effort generating a renewed interest in Tunisia as a tourist destination. On the domestic demand side, the increase in the general level of prices generated by the rise in VAT is likely to continue to constrain household consumption. Subsidy reform, as well as wage increases combined with dinar pressures, are prone to fuelling inflation, which is not expected to weaken in 2018.
Twin Deficits and Significant Debt
The Tunisian fiscal situation has deteriorated sharply since 2011, recording substantial fiscal deficits and a significant increase in debt. Despite the support of the International Monetary Fund, authorities are finding it increasingly difficult to implement the reforms required to consolidate public finances. The public deficit has largely exceeded the target set in the 2017 finance law driven by a notable increase in current expenditure and interest on the public debt. The financing of the budget deficit was largely provided by external resources, including 2.423 billion Tunisian dinars from Qatar and 768 million Tunisian dinars from the European Union. The government plans to reduce the public deficit below the 5% mark in 2018, but this goal is ambitious. While payroll is one of the largest budget spending items, civil servants' salaries are expected to fall slightly in 2018. The government intends, in fact, to honor the agreement signed with the Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT), the main central trade union of the country, by increasing wages, and to offset this increase by suspending public service recruitment, and the non-replacement of retired employees. Direct and indirect taxes are expected, however, to increase, including a 1% VAT increase. Still on the rise, the debt trajectory remains worrying, especially since foreign debt is growing. Debt service is the second budgetary spending item and the repayment of maturities with international donors weighs on the foreign exchange reserves, which corresponds to 101 days of imports in September 2017 (USD 5.385 billion), against 111 days in the previous year. The management of the exchange rate, through the interventions of the Central Bank of Tunisia, has only become more difficult. In 2017, the dinar exchange rate depreciated by 16.7% against the euro and by 4.1% against the US dollar.
The current account deficit widened in 2017. The strengthening of exports in 2017 did not lead to a contraction of the trade deficit, given the sharp acceleration of imports, energy imports in particular. The balance of services and revenues has, however, improved. Although the positive momentum for exports and tourism revenue will continue in 2018, the current account will remain largely in deficit.
A Democratic Transition That is Running Out of Steam
After more than a year in power, the coalition led by Prime Minister Youssef Chahed appointed in August 2016 continues to face multiple challenges. Despite efforts to improve the security situation, the government is struggling to meet its economic and social commitments and is still faced with a growing number of strikes and protests. This deadlock situation resulted in the dismissal of the financial and education ministers and led to Youssef Chaed reshuffling his cabinet in September 2017. He consulted with major political parties and trade unions beforehand, but it ultimately led to increased representation of the Nidaa Tounes (NT) party with the return of some figures from the old regime. Although Nidaa Tounes remains in the majority and the coalition with El Nahda is not challenged, the voices of the opposition and civil society fear a gradual return to a presidential regime. In fact, a constitutional revision was brought about by the head of state, President Beji Caid Essebsi, now 91 years old. The municipal elections that were intended to anchor the democratic process at the local level and initially planned for December 2017 have been postponed until 2018.

Last night, just as I was getting all nestled in my bed, cozy and warm, a great idea came to me. I've spent the past few weeks really working (in a fun way) to reawaken my creative spirit. I have read books, browsed lots of magazines, clipped inspirations sheets, watched some inspiring shows, bought a good used bulletin board from the thrift store for a new inspiration board, journaled, visited museums, antique stores, design shops and big box stores. I've taken photos, sketched things and stared intently.
So when a good idea came to me just as I was about to fall asleep, Wayne W. Dyer came to my mind. He says inspiration comes to you in the quiet of the night. He's not the only one who says that. I've heard it from religious leaders and many other people who share from their experiences with inspiration. It's difficult for inspiration to speak when we are driving in crowded traffic, in a noisy office, watching TV, wearing headphones or constantly listening to music or playing with our phones. Great inspiration comes when we silence the world around us and allow our minds to relax.
I got out of bed, went to my office and grabbed a few sheets of paper and sat down on the couch to sketch out the pictures in my head and write down every word that was circling them. Then I went back to bed and curled up for a great night's sleep. Interestingly enough, the first person I spoke to this morning told me about waking up to ideas about a book and sitting down sketching out the idea. This was an idea that had been percolating for a while, that keeps coming back. I think those ideas are the ones we're meant to have our greatest successes with.
Everyone once in a while I will go through my inspiration and ideas book and recognize that I have sketched out the same idea several times over the years, almost identically with a few new tweaks each time. When I see this, I know it's an idea I need to pursue.
I have almost always carried a notebook with me just in case inspirations hits during the day. You never know when it can happen. But when it happens, act. Do something, write it down, move it forward, sketch it out and see what can come of it. These are our most original creations, our opportunities to express our one-of-a-kind selves in this world.
I am looking forward to seeing what I can do with last night's idea. Who knows what could come of it, but it sounds fun and I have the resources to do it.

My well pump is set to kick on at 40psi and off at 60. It kicks off at 60psi and doesn't do anything until it drops to 40, say 4 or 5 flushes of the toilet or a long shower, but when it drops to 40 it doesn't stay on until it gets back up to 60, it goes on for about 3 seconds and then shuts of for 20, then the cycle repeats until 60psi is reached, when it shuts off for good.
My tank, when dry, has 37psi in it. I don't know what could be causing this problem. It just started this morning when my wife was in the shower. It was fine last night for two loads of laundry and one baby bath.
I haven't got the foggiest idea. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I did a fresh install of ubuntu 13.04 desktop on my machine from the mini.iso to alleviate the hours it would take to download the entire version (slow internet connection).
It all installed fine, though I feel like I missed some important packages. I installed kubuntu (unity is a hassle on my desktop, can't handle it), and rebooted. It booted straight into terminal (or whatever it's called, not a GUI). I have an old nVidia Quadro 560 as my GPU so I assumed it wasn't booting the GUI because there weren't any drivers installed yet.
So I updated all my packages and headers with
sudo su
apt-get update
apt-get install linux-headers-generic
apt-get install nvidia-current-updates
Rebooted, still launched into 'terminal', though this time the resolution was off (origionaly was correct at 1900x1200, now it's 800x600).
Don't really know what I missed, attempted startx in super user, and it was not recognized.
Again I feel like I did not install any GUI packages, though I don't know enough about linux to know what command/repository to grab these from. Unless I do have it and don't know how to get it to load.
Thanks for any help that's given, new to linux but not a complete novice at it.
(Note: I had had ubuntu 12.10 installed on this desktop, attempted to upgrade via Upgrade manager and I think it froze during the update causing errors. Attempted to fix this with apt-get update and it caused a kernel panic, of which I did not feel like fixing so I went this route with a fresh install).

Thank you for adding this item to your cart. Once the order is placed, RFT will contact you within 24 hours to let you know when to expect the shipment. If you have any questions, please call us at (800) 598-2370.
Panasonic's Attune II digital drive-thru system has unmatched sound quality, reduces order errors, and eliminates the need to reconfirm an order. The system includes increased Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) that can remove both constant and fluctuating noise, improved echo cancellation and volume control. While many conventional digital drive-thru order-taking systems operate on the unrestricted 2.4 GHz band and are subject to interference from other devices, Attune II operates on the restricted 1.9 GHz band with a new DECT repeater. This provides for clear, reliable, interference-free communication with an increased range and eliminates bulky antennas. Additionally, no FCC licenses are required for operation.
Advanced DNR (digital noise reduction) technology employs a 3-microphone array to capture and cancel unwanted ambient noise such as refrigerators and microwaves, and burst noises such as ice scooping and buzzers. It also blocks heavier background noises, such as traffic, trains and planes.
One of the lightest headsets in the industry, the new Attune II HD3 is easy to wear and easy to use. With a simplified user interface and cable-less headband, your employees will be comfortable wearing it even longer. And, with specially-designed tactile touch buttons, employees can be certain when their audio is on. So the possibility of an accidental microphone snafu is eliminated.
Everything about the new Attune II HD3 was designed with Quick-Service in mind, all the way down to its interface. Program it from the comfort of your desk, without the need for a center module. A swappable battery design ensures that your operation stays up and running without the need to dock headsets or purchase additional backups for longer shifts.
What's included:
- (1) Panasonic Attune II Base Station (WX-CC411A)

Since 1994 it has been a bridge, providing a rare meeting point between Hollywood's varied centers of public policy opinion and advocacy. More »
The Movies Have a Memory
ACF has conducted screenings and events for all sorts of fictional and documentary work on screen, but our major interest has always been the fictional depiction of current events as well as the major turning points of the twentieth century. More »
History in Depth
The American Cinema Foundation is creating a unique 3D view of the end of the USSR and the vast changes that came to Eastern and central Europe after 1985, using stereoscopic personal photos and archives. Total immersion in the strange realities of a vanished social and political culture is merely a byproduct of visual 3D. The true extra dimension is provided by historical insight into a 150 year long political experiment that affected all mankind. More »

Il mio criceto
The 30-year-old and his girlfriend established the route over two weekends, chosing a line close (circa 10m) to "Aspettando la vetta", the route established by Massimo Da Pozzo and Giammario Meneghin in 2004. The new line crosses Aspettando on the third pitch and then breaks off left at the big roof. It was established ground-up except for the roof where Koren abseiled in and the distance between the bolts is, at times, fairly run out.
Drive to Rifugio Dibona, at the foot of the Tofana di Rozes. This is reached from Cotina by driving towards Passo Falzarego, past Pocol and few hairpin bends, and turning off right up onto the dirt track following signs for the refuge.
Approach this climb by walking up to the base of the pillar from Rifugio Dibona.
P1: V, 35m
P2: 6a, 50m

Violence in the Home May Lead to Violence in the Workplace
Employees are at risk for facing violence in the workplace if they, or their co-workers, are experiencing domestic violence situations. A violent spouse or significant other can come to the workplace to check up on, harass, threaten or act out against their partner.
According to a 2005 survey conducted by the Corporate Alliance to End Partner Violence, workplace violence as a result of domestic violence is not an uncommon circumstance. The survey found that 44 percent of full-time working male and female respondents had personally experienced the impact of domestic violence in the workplace, most frequently because a co-worker was a victim. In fact, it is estimated that the annual cost of lost productivity in the workplace from domestic violence equals $727.8 million. There are ways to help those in need and reduce the risk of personally experiencing domestic violence in the workplace, whether it is threatening you or a co-worker.
Help in the Workplace
Offer assistance – If someone is experiencing a harmful or threatening domestic violence situation, sometimes work is the only place they are not face-to-face with their attacker for an extended amount of time. Let it be known that there is someone they can talk to and there are ways to seek help.
Implement a workplace violence plan – According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health, over 70 percent of workplaces in the United States do not have a formal workplace violence program or policy in place. If your workplace falls into that bracket, take a proactive approach and discuss creating a plan so that employees know what to do if a violent situation occurs.
Raise awareness – Hang posters and leave pamphlets informing employees of domestic violence and list local and national support phone numbers. It is best to have the information openly available in case someone is not willing to speak out about their situation.
Suggest a workplace speaker – By inviting a representative from a local domestic violence shelter to speak at your organization, you and others may learn a great deal about the impact of domestic violence in the workplace. This also introduces another resource for help if an employee is in a harmful or threatening situation.
Recognize the Signs
The signs that an employee may be experiencing domestic violence include but are not limited to:
- Being uncharacteristically late to work, or taking time off from a normal schedule
- Coming to work with unexplained injuries such as bruises, fractures, sprains, etc.
- Suddenly avoiding interaction with co-workers or management
- Seeming upset for no apparent reason or showing other emotions that cannot be explained at work
- Constantly receiving phone calls during work hours from their spouse or partner
- Unexplained, surprise visits from a spouse or partner
- Uncharacteristically poor or unsatisfactory work
What You Can Do
Report signs of uncommon behaviors – If you suspect someone is a victim, let a manager know. If you witness a violent situation, call 9-1-1.
It can happen to you too – Some abusers may go as far as to threaten or harass co-workers of the victim. Don't become a victim. Seek help for everyone involved.
Approach the victim in a non-threatening way – If you feel comfortable asking if your co-worker is in need of help, do so in a private and safe area. Let them know you are concerned for their safety. Listen to everything that they are saying if they do speak to you. Do not force help upon them, but lead them to resources if they are willing.
Do not ignore the situation – Some individuals are often reluctant to bring up domestic violence, both out of respect for the other person's privacy and because they just don't know what to do in that situation. Some employees are reluctant to disclose abuse because they want to protect their reputation and their job. Give your co-workers the support they need and help them to the best of your ability. If your employer has an employee assistance line, direct your co-worker there to get help.
As an employee, you can make a tremendous difference by simply bringing up domestic violence in the workplace and talking about it at work, even if you do not think a situation is currently happening. If your place of employment provides any type of training on dealing with domestic or workplace violence, be sure to participate and encourage others to do the same. By becoming more knowledgeable about the potential situations, you will be able to better handle them if and when they do occur.

I have a dataset which consists of repeating events over time. Each event takes an arbitrary amount of time. I could plot this using
gnuplot but am unable to produce correct keys because of the hackish nature of script. I had to manually draw legends. The plot looks like this:
Could I do something like this via TikZ or some other graphing tool?
My dataset looks as follows:
running 20
stage-out 47
running 34

As shown above, the file is a two-column text where the first column represents event name and the second column the time interval for that event.

DELIGHTED pupils said a big 'thank you for the music' to a firm of solicitors who helped to save a much-needed part of their school life.
When they heard that Rosebank School no longer had the funding to provide music therapy, the team at Accident Advice Solicitors, in London Road, raised £20,000 to make sure it would continue.
Tamara Downes, one of the directors and senior partner at Accident Advice Solicitors, explained that she and her husband Shaun have a six-year-old son with autism.
"George attends Rosebank School and he loves music so we decided to get involved and arrange a charity dinner fundraising event," she said.
"Everyone at Accident Advice Solicitors got involved and through the network of business contacts, friends, family and staff both at the firm and school helped and we held a great event at the Portal Golf and Spa. "We hoped to achieve £10,000 for the charity but raised £19,995.55 in total through the dinner, luxury raffle and auction.
"A big thank you to everyone who donated, attended and indeed to local business that made generous donations to the evening."
Judith McGuinness, headteacher at Rosebank School, said in music therapy music is used as the main form of communication to empower the children, rather than words, which can be overwhelming, frustrating and too intense.
She said: "The children at Rosebank not only thoroughly enjoy music therapy, learning to be playful and more engaged, but they also feel met, psychologically grounded and understood, benefiting greatly from an activity where their movements, actions and even breath is the centre of the music that we create together."
Accident Advice Solicitors has decided to continue to support the Friends of Rosebank charity through other events, with one staff member already completing a marathon for the school.

Population ecology
Discussion of the distribution and abundance of living organisms and how these properties are affected by interactions between the organisms and their environment

Population ecology
I recently came across a question in an assignment. It states that a species a frog lives on the coast of California and that they range in size based on location. Smaller ones are at the top, middle in the middle and larger on the bottom. What event would most likely lead to the outcome of just small ones and large ones- whipping out the middle size. Temp change? Barrier?
Re: Population ecology
If there are barriers the three populations could speciate, but, especially with reptiles and amphibians size is mostly dependent on availability of food. Where food is plentiful and good, size reaches an optimum. Other factors are temperature humidity, and possibly the ability to hide more easily. In tree frogs for instance their size is limited by the size of the bromeliad pools they lay their eggs in.

While San Juan County as a whole has seen unprecedented growth in the last two years, Blanding seems to be experiencing growth and development second only to Spanish Valley in the northern part of the county.
At the present time, there are seven new subdivisions of various sizes in some stage of development in the Blanding area. Developers include Brit Barton, Mitch Bailey, the Palmer Family (Pacheco) Heath Latham (Elk Ridge) Jimmy Hunt, Floyd Beak (Ridgeview) and Richard Perkins.
The stimulus for this unprecedented development is the belief that the resurgent uranium industry and other economic stimulators in the area will create demand for new housing. Add to that the fact that San Juan County seems to have become a magnet for people from all over the country looking to buy retirement, recreation and investment property.
While County land values have soared in recent years, San Juan is still a bargain when compared to most other areas of the country. For example, it is reported that 27 five-acre parcels, at an average of $65,000, were sold during August in phase II of the massive Elk Meadows Development six miles north of Monticello. The 400-acre first phase of Elk Meadows sold out in less than a year in 2006.
Water is the key to growth in any community. Blanding has made great strides in developing new water sources. Two deep wells have been drilled in the southeast quadrant of the city. Drilled at a cost of just under $1 million, these two 12-inch diameter, 1,800 foot deep wells penetrate the Navajo sandstone.
Together, they tested at 800-900 gallons per minute, or 1,224,000 gallons a day. This water source is more dependable than runoff from the mountains, and will assure the possibility of much growth in the future.
The wells are presently in the "integration" process, which means pumps and piping from the wells to the city water system are under construction. A single electric pump in each well will lift the water out of the well and pump it into the city system.
Blanding City Manager Chris Webb said engineers estimate the cost of delivery to the city system will be 46 cents per thousand gallons. Mr. Webb added that the quality and taste of the well water is excellent. Financing for this project is a joint effort of the CIB (Community Impact Board), the Army Corps of Engineers and Blanding City.
Blanding recently received a $775,000 grant from the USDA to begin work on surface water drainage (storm water) from within the city. Water that now runs off during storms will be collected and drained by culvert out of the city. This will be designed to eliminate much of the mosquito problems of the past, as well as mitigate potential flooding during heavy summer thunderstorms.
Blanding recently spent $350,000 to repave the roads in the area of the San Juan High School and the Albert R. Lyman Middle School.
The new Blue Mountain Hospital is making progress. The parking lots are paved, and much of the landscaping is in. Present plans call for an April, 2008 completion.
Improvements in the amount of $1.7 million will soon begin for the water treatment plant, which will feature a new membrane filtration system. The funding comes from the USDA, CIB and the City.

So, I was readin' the ol' WSJ the other day, and I came across an article about my man Stephen Tanzer.
As any reader of this blog will likely know, I've been a Tanzer man a long, long time; since even before my days at Ridge (hard to believe there WAS such a time!).
I certainly admire him professionally, and I also tend to align with him palate-wise. So I was very pleased to see him getting adulated in the pages of the venerable Wall Street Journal, and I credit Jay McInerney for highlighting this most worthy subject.
A Critic Who Favors Finesse Over Power
Finesse over power. It's an interesting way to look at things, and I was intrigued. Truth be told though, the article, to my way of reading, seemed to spend an arguably regrettable amount of time wading in the waters of the Parker paradigm; the universe in which all things seems to exist only in relationship to Robert Parker; it's galaxial, with Parker as the sun, and everyone else being measured by their relative proximity.
So, here's another way of looking at things: In the world of wine, you might say there are Boggle people, and there are Scrabble people.
Boggle is defined by the timer. Scrabble is not.
That said, Boggle relies on lots of words, and so does Scrabble.
But, Boggle rewards speed. Scrabble rewards deliberation.
That said, success at Boggle requires agility with language. Same for Scrabble.
But, Boggle is all about drama, excitement, and adrenalin. Scrabble is not.
That said, both games require sensory acuity; the ability to ascertain possibility and potential resident in raw and unfocused material.
But, in Boggle there is no continuity, no connectivity, no long-term threads, links, or relationships. Scrabble is all about connections, inter-relationships, overlaps, and mutual beneficialities.
That said, both reward practice, and earned expertise.
But, Boggle is all about dramatic impact in the moment. Scrabble rewards subtle effect over the long-term.
That said, they are both point games.
The point being, there are things that unite us, and things that differentiate us.
Lovers of one or both of the games can all agree; we love words and language, just as all of us in the world of wine love wine.
But in the end, there are Boggle people, and there are Scrabble people.
Me? I'm a Scrabble people.
Full disclosure, Stephen Tanzer does review our wines, and has in fact done so rather favorably before. The same can be said for Robert Parker, and the Wine Advocate as well.

When the good Lord passed out ancestors, he must have thought, "I'll give Brenda a challenge and make her work a little bit harder to find her ancestors." That's the only reason I can think to explain my ancestor, John Smith. If that weren't enough, he put John Smith somewhere in Virginia and gave him an approximate birth year of 1777. Do you have any idea how many John Smiths there were in Virginia at that time? A bunch would be a mild estimate.
In John's defense, he did give two of his children (the only ones I can prove) names that should set them apart from all the other Smiths: Morgan and Giles. Notice I said "should" and not "did."
Morgan, my ancestor, was born about 1804 in Virginia, may or may not have lived in eastern Kentucky at one time, married an unknown woman sometime, somewhere and then married Sarah Holder, daughter of Shadrach Holder, in 1834 in Caldwell County, Kentucky. He is found on the 1840 and 1850 Hardin County, Illinois census records and, in 1860, was living in Lyon County, Kentucky separately from his wife and children. Then he did the famous disappearing act by going to "parts unknown." That is just about all I know about Great-Great Grandfather Morgan Smith.
Well, I do know the names of Morgan's children: Rufus, Angeline, James A., Cassander, Reddick (my ancestor), Susanna, Morgan W., and Giles. No son named John for Morgan's father - at least, to my knowledge. And I do know that he lived in iron manufacturing areas.
My next step is to make a list of exactly what I do know and then make a list of what I need to learn and where I might find that information. This will be my research plan on the elusive Smith family and, with luck and a little divine guidance, maybe it will pay off. In the meantime, if you run across a stray John Smith born somewhere in Virginia about 1777 or a lost Morgan Smith born about 1804, let me know. They might have fallen off my family tree.

Boy, can I ever relate to that! Mine was John Adams, born sometime between 1700 to 1735 somewhere and married to Eve Smith sometime between 1750 to 1755 somewhere. They had a son they named John Adams who was also my ancestor.
Last year I did solve my John Adams mystery and as it turns out, John Adams and Eve Smith were both German.
Good luck in solving your John and Morgan Smith mystery.

|Mikhail Shifman and Arkady Vainshtein
Professors Mikahil Shifman and Arkady Vainshtein were awarded the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) 2016 Dirac Medal and Prize in Theoretical Physics. They were cited for their "contributions to a better understanding of field theories in the non-perturbative regime and in particular for exact results in supersymmetric field theories."
Perturbation theory is the standard method for approximating weakly coupled particles. It fails to describe strongly-coupled particles such as the quarks and gluons that make up protons, neutrons and other hadrons. Quarks and gluons remain locked inside hadrons at low energies and cannot be understood with perturbation theory. Many other basic properties of hadrons such as their masses are also non-perturbative.
The award citation described Shifman and Vainshtein's collaboration, which began more than 40 years ago in Moscow, as one of the most fruitful in theoretical physics. "Among a variety of work on strongly interacting field theories, they introduced use of the gluon condensate (a property of the vacuum in QCD) and developed the Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov (SVZ) sum rules. The SVZ sum rules relate observed properties of hadrons to the gluon condensate and a few other condensates, sidestepping the issue of trying to calculate everything perturbatively from first principles."
Shifman and Vainshtein also made fundamental contributions to the non-perturbative study of supersymmetric gauge theories (QCD itself is a non-supersymmetric gauge theory), culminating with the proposal of the Novikov-Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov (NSVZ) exact beta function in the 1980s. The beta function of a field theory describes how the coupling changes depending on the energy scale (for example, increased coupling at low energies is a key part of confinement). Expressions for beta functions are usually not exact, and instead are subject to corrections from higher order terms in perturbation theory.
Nathan Seiberg (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton) was also awarded the medal. Seiberg was recognized for his discoveries in the field of supersymmetric gauge theories using a mathematical property of these theories—holomorphy—to understand non-renormalisation theorems (similar to the "exactness" just mentioned) and to decipher different ground states or vacua of N=1 supersymmetric theories (N indicates the number of supersymmetries present). He uncovered Seiberg duality, by which a strongly coupled theory is equivalent at low energies to a weakly coupled theory that may be built from a different set of fundamental particles. A theme of the work was to derive results in a weakly coupled theory where computations are simpler and then use the duality or holomorphy to carry the results across to a non-perturbative strongly coupled case. He has also made important contributions to string theory and other areas of theoretical physics.
In collaboration with Edward Witten (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton; Dirac Medallist in 1985), Seiberg made major contributions toward a full non-perturbative understanding of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories. The results of Seiberg and Witten unleashed a tremendous amount of further work, not only in theoretical physics but also in pure mathematics, where the insights provided astonishingly powerful methods to prove important theorems on topics such as four-dimensional manifolds.
ICTP's Dirac Medal, first awarded in 1985, is given in honour of P.A.M. Dirac, one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century and a staunch friend of the Centre. It is awarded annually on Dirac's birthday, 8 August, to scientists who have made significant contributions to theoretical physics.

I discovered this activity (one of my favorites) several years ago while watching a consultant. Although she used the activity to make a different point, I thought that it was a perfect way to demonstrate the importance of Inspiring a Shared Vision and adapted it accordingly. I use this as an introductory activity; it not only serves as a humorous energizer, but also makes a great visual to create the lesson. I do not know the originator of the exercise, but KUDOS to that person.
Facilitator Script
"I need everyone to close your eyes. Now, keeping your eyes closed, point north. Point so I can see where you are pointing."(You will hear nervous laughter).
"Keeping your hands where they are, you may now open your eyes and look around the room."(People will be pointing in all directions, and you will hear more laughter).
"Now put your hands down before you embarrass yourself. It is obvious that we have some navigationally challenged people in the room."
"Our job as a leader is to get everyone pointing in the same direction. (Point north).
"If we are all going in different directions, then we will never be successful in accomplishing our goals. And we can only truly get people to go in the same direction if we work together to decide where "we" want to go. A shared vision is just that — shared. If I try to impose my vision on you, you might think to yourself, that may be your vision, but that's not my vision and there will be no ownership of the vision. The way we get ownership is to talk with folks, formally and informally, to see what their dreams and aspirations are. This will help us, as leaders craft a vision that will be owned and supported."

The All-Star game tips tonight around 8:30, give a take a few minutes, depending on what Danny Gans (who the hell is Danny Gans?) feels like doing to the national anthem.
The NBA's All-Star game is, in my opinion, the best in sports. All the guys celebrate the worthlessness of the exhibition by having fun and self-promoting whenever they get the chance. It's certainly a nice contrast to the Pro Bowl, where you can can catch guys sleeping on the sidelines.
Christina Aguilera and Toni Braxton are reponsible for the halftime entertainment, and I think Mary J. Blige will be involved, too. Cirque de Soleil will be involved somehow, and Wayne Newton, whose body will not have to be altered whatsoever by an undertaker when he dies, will do the player introductions.
I'm expecting an ugly, sloppy, low-scoring game, by All-Star standards. There's no Kidd, no Nash, no Iverson... point guards control these things, and there are no point guards to be found this evening. The number of botched alley-oops cound be astronomical.
