News of the Weird
The Newest Human Right
Perspective: Of the world's 7 billion people, an estimated 2.6 billion do not have toilet access, and every day a reported 4,000 children die from sanitation-related illnesses. However, in May, in Portland, Ore., Douglas Eki and "Jason" Doctolero were awarded $332,000 for wrongful firing because they complained about being inconvenienced at work by not having an easily available toilet. Menzies Aviation had arranged for the men to use facilities at nearby businesses at their Portland International Airport site, but the men said they felt unwelcome at those places and continued to complain (and use buckets). One juror said afterward that having easy access to a toilet was a "basic human right," citing the "dignity (of) being able to go to the bathroom within 30 seconds or a minute." Said Doctolero, "Hopefully, no one will have to suffer what I went through."
The Entrepreneurial Spirit
• When Sherry Bush returned home in Westlake, Ohio, in May, she found an "invoice" written on a napkin, left by "Sue Warren," billing her $75 for a housecleaning that Warren had done while Bush was out. However, Bush never heard of Warren, and there had been reports by others in Westlake of Warren's aggressive acquisition of "clients." "Did you get the wrong house?" Bush asked Warren when she found "Sue Warren Cleaning" online. "No," said Warren, "I do this all the time. I just stop and clean your house." Warren was not immediately charged with a crime.
• Disgraced televangelist Jim Bakker still owes the IRS a reported $6 million and now sells a line of "survival" products to help true believers live through the coming apocalypse. (It is unclear whether believers need to "survive," since the popular reading of the apocalypse casts it as a fast track to heaven for the faithful.) The Talking Points Memo blog did some comparative shopping and found many of Bakker's items to be overpriced by as much as 100 percent. Bakker also offers the devout a $100 Silver Solution Total Body Cleanse Kit, which includes enemas.
Radical Science
• Medical Marvel: A 63-year-old woman in South Korea bit into a portion of squid and later felt "bug-like organisms" moving around in her mouth. According to doctors at the National Center for Biotechnology Information in Bethesda, Md., writing in a recent paper, the squid had probably expelled its spermatophores as if it were attempting insemination. (When squid is eaten in the West, the internal organs have been removed, but apparently not in South Korea.) A scientist who has worked with squid commented on the professional network Science 2.0, "I've probably had hundreds of spermatophores ejaculate on my fingers and never felt a sting."
• A start-up venture in Singapore announced in June that it has developed an adult diaper made of "Sofshell," a substance that hardens on contact and redistributes weight — so that if seniors fall on their rear ends, the impact will be absorbed with a lesser risk of broken bones. One of the developers demonstrated by dropping a bowling ball on a cellphone protected by the material, and the phone suffered not a scratch.
• Researchers at the National University of Singapore described, in a recent issue of the journal Biology Letters, how a certain species of male tropical spider seemingly improves its chances of successful mating by castrating itself after releasing sperm. The scientists hypothesize that testes-removal makes the male nimbler and better able to trick and outflank competitor males that attempt to reinseminate the same females. Improving their strategic mobility also enables the male to avoid being killed by the female, which is yet another hazard in the spider-mating process.
Leading Economic Indicators
• While top stars of World Wrestling Entertainment such as John Cena and Triple H earn several hundred thousand dollars in U.S. rings, pro wrestlers in Senegal can (in the wrestling variation called laamb) make almost that amount too. In May, the undefeated national "champion," the "King of the Arena" Yekini, suffered his first defeat in 15 years at the hands of Balla Gaye 2, before a capacity crowd at Demba Diop Stadium in Dakar, earning the combatants a reported equivalent of $300,000 each. (Per capita income in the U.S. is about $40,000 and in Senegal, $1,900.)
• Hard Times: (1) In May, the Missoula (Mont.) Sheriff's Office was investigating the theft of a car from the victim's yard — a 1976 Ford Pinto (which, in addition to being a Pinto, had four flat tires). (2) In Mesa, Ariz., in May, Manuel Ovalle, 35, was charged with burglary after allegedly breaking into a home and taking a Playstation 3 and two bags of water from the home's swimming pool. (Ovalle told police his own home had no water supply.)
Critters' World
• Suspicions Confirmed: Scientists from Lund University's Primate Research Station Furuvik in Sweden announced in May that they had evidence that chimpanzees are able to delay using weapons they encounter, hide them and retrieve them later for use against "foes." The weapons were stones and chunks of concrete, and the foes were visitors to the zoo who annoyed the chimps. According to the researchers, the 33-year-old chimp Santino also took pains to hide the weapons in locations where they could be accessed easily for the element of surprise against the visitors.
• Bullfighting may be on the wane in some countries because of complaints about cruelty, but in the village of Aproz, Switzerland, there is a replacement each May: cow-fighting contests. According to a Wall Street Journal dispatch, this is a serious business, especially for Alain Balet, whose cow Manathan has won the heavyweight title for three years running, and who "follow(s) training regimens worthy of professional athletes," including engaging masseuses. The action, however, is mostly head-butting (plus "abundant slobber," reported the Journal), and the "contest" is won when one of the cows loses interest and wanders away. Balet pointed out an obvious additional pleasure in raising championship cows: "It's still a cow. I can eat her."
Readers' Choice
(1) A pair of mated giant tortoises that had lived in harmony for 115 years in zoos in Klagenfurt, Austria, are a couple no more, and apparently things ended badly. In June, the female Bibi bit off part of the male Poldi's shell, and efforts to reconcile the pair, including using aphrodisiacs, proved futile. (2) Daniel Collins Jr., 72, was charged with aggravated assault in Teaneck, N.J., in June after allegedly threatening to shoot a 47-year-old neighbor. Collins said he was reacting to the neighbor's passing gas loudly outside Collins' apartment after the two men had been discussing noise.

New spring break pullover! It's stripy and wonderful — and super quick to knit. Dreamy, eh? All for only 3.5 skeins of Noro Taiyo in a kinda crazy set of colors.
I was inspired by the Equinox Raglan, but, in the end, the two don't have much in common. And I'm okay with that. This one was knit with aran-weight yarn on US10.5/6.5mm needles — so a loose, almost airy kind of fabric that bloomed up very nicely after a quick soak.
(Okay, it might still be a bit damp …)

- Premier League
Sandro expected to miss rest of the season
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Sandro could be ruled out for the rest of the season after the club confirmed the Brazilian has undergone knee surgery.
Sandro was forced off during the first half of Tottenham's 0-0 draw in the Premier League game at Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
And the news that he has had surgery on the injury will come as a blow to manager Andre Villas-Boas who has selected the player 27 times already this season. Sandro also had a shorter summer break than many of his team-mates, as he was a key part of Brazil's Olympic team which win silver at London 2012.
His recovery schedule will be assessed over the next few days, a statement on the club's official website said. However, it is widely expected that the 23-year-old will not return to full fitness before the end of the current campaign.
Sandro himself seemed to be anticipating a lengthy absence when he tweeted on Wednesday: "Sorry guys, but this one really got me, the beast is hurt..."
Sandro joined Tottenham in July 2010 from Internacional and has established himself as a fans' favourite at White Hart Lane.
His injury could potentially see midfielder Lewis Holtby arrive from Schalke during the winter transfer window, rather than in the summer as had been agreed. However, for that to happen it is likely the German club would demand a fee for the player, who is out of contract in June.

DTE Energy Tackles Unruly Alarms
Rationalization Process Restores Meaning--One Alarm at a Time
In the course of an ongoing control system upgrade at its Greenwood Energy Center (GWEC) in Avoca, Mi., DTE Energy engineers also undertook to rationalize and reorganize a decades-old, dysfunctional approach to process alarms. "Previously, many of our DCS alarms were not rationalized," explained Kip Dobel, senior engineer in GWEC's Engineering Support Organization. "They were just characterized as high or high worse, and so we had a lot of noise and chattering alarms that were only fixed occasionally. In fact, operators determined unit status by the volume of alarms and not the actual alarms. Pages of alarms would scroll by on a unit trip, making it very easy for an important alarm to get lost in all the noise."
The company has been working to upgrade its distributed control system (DCS) from a 1990s-era Westinghouse WDPF system and lightbox displays to ABB's Process Portal A (PPA) 800xA DCS, but first decided it was essential to rationalize and reorganize the unit's approach to alarms. Dobel and colleague John Dage, DTE's principal engineer, presented "Alarm Rationalization Process at Greenwood Energy Center" this week at ABB Automation and Power World in Orlando, Fla. Located about 60 miles north of Detroit, GWEC is an 800-MW oil and gas plant, which serves as a "peaker" to deliver power to the grid when demand is especially high. This means the facility ramps its electrical production up and down more than other plants.
To focus on important alarms and eliminate the chatter, Dobel reported that GWEC began efforts to migrate to PPA 800xA in 2010 and also installed Matrikon's Process Guard software to help with post-event trip analysis. PPA 800xA included customer libraries, seven operator consoles, three engineering work packages (EWPs), domain and 800xA controllers, and AlarmInsight operator assistance software for 800xA, which grew out of collaboration by ABB and Matrikon. GWEC also runs OSIsoft's PI historian software to further document high-priority alarms and check on operating devices.
"We had about 6,000 analog I/O points, and so this meant dealing with about 10,000 decisions just to rationalize alarms and alerts from our analog signals," explained Dobel. "We wanted to give our operators an alarm system that would provide timely, accurate information to assist in operating the powerhouse in a controlled manner; employ Matrikon's Alarm Manager management of change (MOC) software to handle the rationalization; set up and execute an alarm rationalization scheme following EEMUA 191's principles; and provide the rationalization data to the operators' consoles."
Dage added that, "Previously, we were putting Band-Aids on the bleeders in our alarm system, but we weren't completing the documentation needed. This was the first time we did full documentation."
GWEC also hired a senior software engineer from Matrikon to help get its three-month, $250,000 alarm rationalization project started; hired some retired operators from outside the plant to help; and even set up a dedicated Alarm Rationalization Room with whiteboard and projector to present component data, trace alarm profiles, and facilitate discussing and hashing out the most logical and efficient ways to reorganize and reassign them.
"If you haven't done a rationalization project before, we recommend that you hire an external expert to help, but make sure you check their credentials and bring them in for a trial week to see if they can do what you need to get done," said Dobel. "Also, using retired operators from outside was helpful because they walked down the system and traced many devices and alarms, but it was also a mistake because we really needed to get more of our current operators involved too. A good rationalization team should have a panel board operator, a DCS expert that knows all the logic blocks in the systems and how they relate to the alarms system, instrument technicians and a scribe to keep everyone on track."

Father's heart
Kimberley and back again
Posted by Mark Labuschagne on Sunday, February 20, 2011
Wow, what a whirl-wind trip I had. I flew to Kimberley to go and collect our new vehicle and then met a few friends for dinner, before driving on to Bloemfontein to meet Ryan who was coming down from Johannesburg. He arrived at 11:30pm and then we embarked on the 1000 km trip back home. 2179km in total.
We were so tired when we got back, it was unbelievable, but we thanked the Lord for travelling mercies and arrived home safely. The N1 highway is a notorious stretch of road and although I used to travel up and down, this was the first time in six years that I have driving on the road and so, it was great to be back home.
Thanks to Herman for collecting me at the airport, we would not have been able to do so without his help.

By Wednesday, however, a cold front is predicted to slide into the region, which will bring a temporary end to our balmy temps
Today is forecast to be a gorgeous day, with sunny skies and high temps close to 90 degrees.
We will have some typical Kansas winds to deal with – expect sustained south/southwest winds up to 20 mph with gusts close to 30 mph by mid-afternoon. Gusty winds and warm weather will continue on Tuesday.
By Wednesday, however, a cold front is predicted to slide into the region, which will bring a temporary end to our balmy temps. Additionally, it will escort in our next chance for measurable precipitation. On Tuesday, prior to its arrival in South Central Kansas, strong-to-severe thunderstorms are expected to erupt along the front.
However, that activity is currently on track to stay northwest of the Turnpike. Showers and thunderstorms will then be possible in our area throughout the day on Wednesday; currently forecasters have mixed views on the chances for any storms to become severe. NWS Wichita suggests some strong-to-marginally severe chances southeast of the Turnpike on Wednesday, but the Storm Prediction Center has not identified any risk area yet for that day…

Skip to comments.Mel Gibson link to Aussie anti-Semitic group
Posted on 08/05/2006 3:42:51 PM PDT by familyop
MEL Gibson once had close links to the Australian League of Rights, a Far Right group notorious for its anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial. The league claims the world is run by a secret society of Jews.
The Hollywood star's foray into Far Right activist politics in Australia occurred in 1987 when he campaigned for a friend, Rob Taylor, who stood unsuccessfully for the northern Victorian federal seat of Indi.
Charles Pinwill, a former Queensland state director of the League of Rights, said he knew Gibson's father, Hutton, and said Gibson was interested in the league's ideas.
"They were never members of the league, no. But we never really recruited members, just support. (Mel and Hutton) were interested in some of our ideas," Mr Pinwill said.
"His dad had politically similar ideas to me. His dad had a well-considered philosophy, he thought things through.
"I knew (Mr Taylor) was a friend of Mel's. Mel's not really a political animal, he's interested in spiritual things."
Several of Gibson's Hollywood friends have defended the star, saying he is a "different person" when he is drinking, but they do not believe he is anti-Semitic.
Actor Jodie Foster said that while she did not believe drunkenness excused hurtful remarks, she doubted claims Gibson was prejudiced against Jews.
"Is he an anti-Semite? Absolutely not," Foster said.
"But it's no secret that he has always fought a terrible battle with alcoholism."
Movie producer Dean Devlin, who is Jewish, said he considered Gibson one of his best friends in Hollywood
"If Mel is an anti-Semite, then he spends a lot of time with us, which makes no sense," Devlin said.
"But he is an alcoholic and while that makes no excuse for what he said, because there is no excuse, I believe it was the disease speaking, not the man.
"I have been with Mel when he has fallen off and he becomes a completely different person.
"It is pretty horrifying."
Gibson is in trouble after being arrested in Malibu for drunk driving. At the time of his arrest, he railed against Jews as the cause of all the world's wars.
That sparked a backlash against the star's credibility in Hollywood and throughout the world. Gibson apologised -- twice -- for his comments, but has struggled to distance himself from a reputation as a conservative with Far Right views on Jews and homosexuals.
Gibson inspired by 'fear-mongering' Bush (Flashback: Gibson Part of Hollywood Bush Hate Contingent)
Yahoo ^ | May 12, 2006
Posted on 07/31/2006 12:00:03 PM PDT by MikeA
Film star and director Mel Gibson has launched a scathing attack on US President George W Bush, comparing his leadership to the barbaric rulers of the Mayan civilisation in his new film Apocalypto.
The epic, due for release later this year, captures the decline of the Maya kingdom and the slaughter of thousands of inhabitants as human sacrifices in a bid to save the nation from collapsing.
Gibson reveals he used present day American politics as an inspiration, claiming the government callously plays on the nation's insecurities to maintain power.
He tells British film magazine Hotdog, "The fear-mongering we depict in the film reminds me of President Bush and his guys".
Posted on 03/20/2006 5:30:25 AM PST by Dark Skies
"Gibson, who insists ideology matters less to him than stories of 'penitential hardship' like his Oscar-winning Braveheart, puts it more bluntly: 'The fearmongering we depict in this film reminds me a little of President Bush and his guys.'"
My tagline applies to the issue, BTW. Don't forget to see comment #1.
No doubt Mel has issues ... but you know what? This story is getting old, fast. Of all the things going on ... there are more IMPORTANT events occurring out there.
Hillary hates Jews too. Can we spend a little time on that?
Anti-Semitism is a hallmark of the far-left, not the far-right. The Right supports Israel and is pro-Jewish.
Not much doubt about them.
From all the hype about Mel's "rant", I thought the title of Mel's next, latest, soon-to-be-finished movie was something like:
"Schindler's List #2: Let's Get This Party Started !!"
(....sarcasm off thingee goes in this spot.....)
Right on, cripplecreek!
It's amazing isn't it.
It's run by knomes!
Yes, I would say the righteous indignation is pretty selective.
She has more than once, but I am to lazy to track down the quotes. She was defending the Democrat's version of "Patriotism" (which happened to be questioning the POTUS every decision.)
Fortunately I couldn't care less about his credibility with the almighty republicrats.
"The MSM will be bringing this up for months, and in the same breath will be talking about the war crimes Israel is committing by bombing terrorists."
Exactly! And I haven't heard even ONE republican mention hillary's similar FJB comment.

How To Grow a Crate o' Arugula
Whenever I'm out and about in the city, I've always got one eye on the sidewalk and the other scanning the curb for attractive junk that I can recycle into planters for my roof garden. Dresser drawers and discarded terracotta are premium finds, but even old fruit crates are just deep enough to accommodate leafy greens or herbs with shallow root systems. I decided to fill this one up with a crop of wild arugula (Eruca vesicaria sativa). I prefer this type to the cultivated 'Rocket' variety as it has more attractive, softer leaves and a deeper, spicier taste.
What You Need
A fruit crate
A regular plastic shopping bag
Organic container soil
Compost or vermicompost
Arugula seeds
1. Little work is required to prep your crate for growing. The bottom of mine had large spaces between slats and required a liner to contain potting soil. Inversely, crates with solid bottoms will require drainage holes to let water out. I laid an average-sized plastic shopping bag inside the crate and using a pair of scissors, cut several small holes to make drainage.
2. Next, fill up the crate with good quality container soil that is well draining but also contains some organic matter that will feed your plants. If you can't find good stuff, buy very lightweight soil composed of perlite, vermiculite and peat (or coir) and add your own organic matter to the mix. Compost is heavy and can become very compacted in a pot, so add no more than 20% compost or use vermicompost (worm poo) since it is much lighter. Fill your container to the top and tamp it in with your hands. You want to remove the air pockets and make a respectably flat surface. Don't go crazy with it — a level is not required.
3. Once you've got your soil in place, cut around the edges with a pair of scissors to remove the excess plastic bag. Pour a handful of seed into your hand and spread it thinly, and evenly across the soil surface. Don't worry if you have too many seeds as you can remove (and eat) excess seedlings as they grow. Add another 1/4″ of soil on top of the seeds and water everything in well.
4. Keep the soil moist, but not soaking wet. Arugula can be harvested at any size. Pull out excess seedlings at anytime and beginning cutting off tender leaves within a month or so of sowing.
Additional Notes: Leafy greens prefer cool weather and shadier spots. Plants will bolt in hot weather, which means that they quickly go to seed and become bitter. How much sun is too much depends on your conditions and the time of year. Mine are currently placed in a protected spot with partial sun to avoid the hot afternoon heat. You can also try a second sowing once the temperature has dropped in late summer/early fall for a fall harvest.
Other suggestions for your crate include:
- Mâche
- Mizuna
- Kale (baby only)
- Oregano
- Purslane
- Red Orach
- Rouge d'Hiver Lettuce
- Thyme

Tyler Perry takes over Morgan Freeman originated role in Cross [CROSS]! on Jan 31, 21:52

THR is also saying that [RCOHE] is the new director on Feb 01, 06:21
This is another project, not the one by Twohy (which is what is on the exchange)... D. Mac should delist CROSS and IPO the new movie. {nm} on Feb 01, 06:25
Or just change it over, but it's clear to me from reading both stories that these are competing Cross projects with different producers. {nm} on Feb 01, 06:25
I doubt novelist James Patterson sold the rights to the same character/book to two competing projects {nm} on Feb 01, 06:32
"Cross" and "I, Alex Cross" are two different books by James Patterson; one can write an adaptation to try and get rights. on Feb 01, 07:35
If they're competing, more likely we'll have two stocks - like with the competing Alexander projects {nm} on Feb 01, 06:33
Reading over it again, it does seem like the same project although the plot for I, Alex Cross is slightly different from Cross. {nm} on Feb 01, 07:36

Ah, I see my mix-up... I had read and was responding to the THR story which made it sound like two separate projects. on Feb 01, 07:57

Over the last few months I have been working on purging my craft supplies. As I dig down into the oldest items in my stash (in the time before I was a mom), I've discovered something unexpected and wonderful.
Despite all the change, all the constantly evolving trends and new paper lines, there are companies whose products from several years ago are not only still viable but that also still coordinate – and can be updated with – their newer releases. While you might think this would make them stale, instead I believe this gives these products an increased value. I also believe that products from these companies will continue to coordinate and work with future releases. Having a longer shelf life in stores and keeping products relevant in my personal stash is a great thing for companies – and I'd like to take a moment to mention each of them:
The first company I noticed this about was Jenni Bowlin. I still have stickers and papers from years ago that remain just as useful and wonderful as ever alongside her current releases. Not only that, but I sometimes purchase her older products even today because they truly don't go out of style. Thanks to her signature vintage style, consistent color palette, and ability to create products that are useful and coordinate together so well, I am still just as in love with my older products from Jenni Bowlin as with the newer ones. Jenni Bowlin made the Scrapbook Update Top 10 Hot Picks list for this last CHA show, and it's no surprise to me. Her products remain timeless treasures.
At the other end of the design rainbow is the always bright and colorful Doodlebug. Known for bright colors and whimsical designs, Doodlebug continues to reinvent the very definition of cute scrapbooking supplies. By staying true to their adorable roots, and continuing to produce products like the above pictured alphabets and buttons, they continue to add onto their lines and create coordinated products that aren't trend dependent. They base themselves on a core set of colors and a cute aesthetic. By continuing to market fresh product designs with great packaging, Doodlebug manages to stay popular with a wide variety of scrapbookers – from those who simply enjoy their colorful embellishments, to those who appreciate the whimsical designs of their sticker and paper lines.
Finally, we have another CHA Top 10 Hot Pick pick from Scrapbook Update to talk about. I purchased the woodmounted stamp pictured above years ago, and I was delighted to see that this new batch of releases from Tim Holtz included that same image in both paper and sticker form. This is just one example of how Tim continues to keep his ever-growing line of products fresh, while not discarding past designs. You'll see a lot of browns and creams and kraft, as well as metals in his idea-ology line. The colors not only make it easy to mix and match products from various releases, but also make them perfect to customize to your own preferences.
I like unique releases that stand alone as much as the next crafter, but these brands are ones that have stood the test of time here in my stash, and not only survived my purging efforts but also amaze me with how they still coordinate the older product with the new.
While I feel they are too young to say for sure, I believe there may be several other companies who will choose to follow this path of keeping older product relevant and somewhat coordinated with newer product. Specifically I have my eye on Studio Calico and the Girls' Paperie, as I've been able to mix & match all of their releases so far. There are also companies like KI Memories and American Crafts that continue to release alphabet and general embellishment products that are not tied to any one paper line. This too is something special, as these products are easily mixed with whatever you have on hand or wish to use them with.
I don't believe that every company can (or should) make coordinating products flow from each new release, but it is a welcome discovery for my budget, and my stash when a company produces coordinating lines. Knowing that some will, and that I'll be saved the time and energy of trying to find coordinating things for their older products is a lovely thing indeed.

Brightness and Contrast Controls
Have you ever wondered what those little buttons on the front of your monitor are for? You may have played around with them and found that they are mainly used for the brightness and contrast controls for your computer screen. Adjusting these controls allows you to make your screen look the way you want it to look, whether that be with a darker or a lighter color tone.
There may be a bit of confusion within these two controls. The brightness control actually affects the contrast, which leaves the contrast control affecting only the brightness. You need to understand the difference to be able to set your monitor up for preferable resolution.
The brightness icon looks something like a sun. It is also known as the black level and this should be adjusted so that any black picture content is displayed as a true black color on your monitor. Many times this control is misused, which results in poor picture quality on your computer screen.
The contrast icon is just a circle: half white, half black. It is commonly referred to as the picture control. This tool adds to the red, green and blue signals that are already imbedded into the screen color. Basically, once the brightness is set, you can set the contrast to a comfortable viewing level for yourself.
You want to make sure that you set your brightness to an accurate black level. If your brightness is set too low, you could lose your picture quality altogether, and if it's set too high, you'll end up with a grayish color, which makes all of your applications, games, pictures, etc. appear washed out or faded.
To adjust your monitor properly, follow these steps:
1.) Turn the contrast control to the minimum. There should be four different buttons on the front of your monitor. Some may have the contrast icon shown and some may just have the plus (+) or minus (-) signs. Use the minus sign to take the contrast to its lowest.
2.) Display a complete black picture.
3.) Adjust the brightness control to create a balance you prefer. It should be adjusted so a full range of color tones from black to white are displayed.
4.) Adjust the contrast to compliment the brightness. This is the step where you can choose your viewing preference. If you like your monitor just a little brighter, go for that. If you don't like things so bright, go a little lower. It's completely up to you.
Just to give you an idea, my monitor here in the office is set to a 100 percent contrast level and a 56 percent brightness. Now, Kim's monitor is set at a 98 percent contrast and a 50 percent brightness and Shawn's is set at a 100 contrast and 80 brightness. So, as you can see, everyone has different viewing tastes. Keep in mind that all monitors are different, so what you like and what we like are probably going to be different. Just make sure you set it at a comfortable level for your eyes.
While you're in the menu for your monitor settings, you can also adjust other things like picture, geometry and color. You can also work with the degauss button, as well as, change the language used on your PC. You can choose from English, French, Spanish, Italian or Dutch if you wish to do that. These are all choices that are on my monitor in the office, so just keep in mind that yours may be a little bit different. Most monitors have these choices universally though.
Now, if you have a laptop, you have an LCD. These are a little different to adjust, but you follow the same main rules. You also do not need to worry about the degauss button if you have an LCD type display screen.
Happy Viewing!

A Retail Electric Provider (REP) sells electric energy to retail customers in the areas of Texas where the sale of electricity is open to retail competition. A REP buys wholesale electricity, delivery service, and related services, prices electricity for customers, and seeks customers to buy electricity at retail.
Who Should File: Persons seeking to sell electricity to retail customers must register as a REP. Persons who do not purchase, take title to, or resell electricity, but perform a service pursuant to a contract with the REP do not need to become certified as REPs.
When to File: REP Certification at the Commission generally takes 60-90 days. Upon approval of REP certification, applicants will be ordered to provide proof that they have completed the testing of their electronic interface system prior to serving customers. Since ERCOT generally has three testing periods per year, it is important to coordinate the testing dates with the REP's business plan.

Wetland Plants of Wisconsin
|Potamogeton praelongus Wulfen.
white-stemmed pondweed
Family: Potamogetonaceae
Potamogeton praelongus is a distinctive species with broad, sessile submersed leaves and no floating leaves. The stipules are large and persistent (see "stem and leaves" photo above) and the leaf tips are "boat-shaped" or cupped when fresh. If the leaves are pressed flat in vouchers, the boat-shaped tips often split, providing a helpful character for identification.
P. praelongus is fairly common in northern and eastern Wisconsin. Its absence from SW Wisconsin may be due to its preference for lakes. There are far fewer natural lakes in the SW counties.

CRESTVIEW � Stacie Randolph, Jon Yates, Tech. Sgt. Rollin Rathburn, J.R. Reid and Jeffrey Moore are among hundreds of jobseekers whose chances of new employment rose Wednesday morning.
CRESTVIEW � Stacie Randolph, Jon Yates, Tech. Sgt. Rollin Rathburn, J.R. Reid and Jeffrey Moore are among hundreds of jobseekers whose chances of new employment rose Wednesday morning.
By the end of the Veterans Job Fair at the Crestview Community Center, nearly 400 regional residents � many clutching folders packed with resumes � had visited 35 area employers� booths.
The fair, sponsored by JobsPlus and the Workforce Development Board of Okaloosa and Walton Counties, was open to any resident, though an additional 20 booths were staffed by organizations offering services specific to military members and their families.
Attendees represented a cross section of the military and civilian community. Randolph and Yates are Air Force veterans. Rathburn will retire from the Air Force in September.
Reid is a former Marine�s eldest son, and Moore, who has no military affiliation, was looking for a better job to support his young family. He is expecting his first child in September.
"I'm waiting to hear from a couple businesses I talked to," Moore said after speaking to recruiters from Lowe's and Winn-Dixie. "I like trying something new. I like to challenge myself."
Finding opportunities
Yates, who will move to Crestview with his family in the next several weeks, seemed optimistic after the job fair.
"I made some good contacts this morning," he said. "We're looking forward to settling here. It's a wonderful community. I've seen nothing but good things here."
"I'm finding a lot of opportunities," Randolph said. "I'm happy about that."
Reid, a 2013 Crestview High graduate, said he was offered an interview for an opening at the state correctional facility. The state and county Departments of Corrections hosted booths at the fair.
Jennifer Cantrell of the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office said the agency talked to several qualified applicants, including Rathburn.
"We're excited to have some potential openings for these folks," she said. "Most have that initial security background, so transitioning into this job is fairly painless for them."
"We've taken a lot of applications from good, qualified people," said Misty Elliott, a subcontractor liaison with Oliver's Landscaping and Nursery in Holt.
Diverse employers
"We've had a fabulous turnout," JobsPlus military family employment advocate Rita Smith said. "The employers are pleased with the quality of applicants they're seeing."
Employers ranged from defense contractors including L3 Crestview Aerospace, Cygnus Aerospace and InDyne; and law enforcement agencies including the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission�s Division of Law Enforcement.
Retailers included Wal-Mart, Waffle House and Tom Thumb. School representatives included Northwest Florida State College, the University of West Florida and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
Service employers included Eglin Federal Credit Union, Regions Bank, Resort Quest and Crestview Rehabilitation.
"I've seen a lot of good applicants," Sgt. Heather Campbell of the Florida Department of Corrections said. "This has been a very successful event for us."

When you first look at Tim Lincecum, the immediate thought is not that you're gazing at one of the most dominating right-handed pitchers on the planet. His thin, wiry frame doesn't look like it can generate the necessary power to win the 2008 National League Cy Young Award, nor the durability to make him a contender for another one when baseball hands out its hardward in November. So, how does he do it?
The cover story is that his father devised an optimal windup and delivery that maximizes everything in Lincecum's body to make him a lethal pitching weapon. That's a lot of science, though, and some of us just don't buy that science could fully explain the success of Lincecum. We need something to believe in beyond mechanics, we need something to generate faith that we're seeing something more than a machine, we need ... a mullet.
It's fitting that Randy Johnson has joined Lincecum's Giants this season, because Timmy's rocking the finest baseball example of the hairdo since Johnson went corporate on us. (Please note that this distinction is only for the major leagues, or Kenny Powers' mullet on "Eastbound and Down" would still hold the number one spot on the list.) Just as Johnson's mullet once gave him the audacity to attack every hitter he ever faced, so too are Lincecum's follicles filling him with confidence.
"When I saw the lineup card today, I thought they're throwing some pretty good guys out there," Lincecum said after shutting out the Cardinals on Monday night. "But then I thought, 'I'm good. I'm here for a reason. I can get these guys out if I make my pitches the way I need to.' "
There's no doubt that Lincecum was looking in the mirror when he had that thought. How good could the Cardinals lineup look when you are staring at a glorious mane built for speed?
Is this the start of a trend? Braves rookie Tommy Hanson, off to a good start and heralded as an ace starter of the future, is also a mullet devotee. If he keeps up the good work, it shouldn't take much more to keep the ball rolling until it turns into a full-fledged mullet renaissance at the major league level.
Maybe the Big Unit will even recover the locks of his youth and wring an extra year or three out of his body. Anything is possible thanks to Lincecum and his magnificent mullet.

Waterford beats Fitch 5-2 in ECC baseball championship
Norwich — Scenes from winning a league championship Friday night:
Jordan Hamler, senior at Waterford High School, kissed the championship plaque.
Art Peluso, the Waterford coach, shivered, the victim of a water bucket bath amid the 50-degree temperature and wind.
And then there was Justin Pandolfe, the winning pitcher, the calm little left-hander whose emotions still hadn't wavered much, even after the Lancers celebrated the 5-2 victory over Fitch at Dodd Stadium and the Eastern Connecticut Conference tournament title.
"I had 100 percent confidence in J.P.," Hamler said. "He is the man. It's his time right now."
Pandolfe, a sophomore, made his first career start earlier this week at Dodd Stadium.
"The moment doesn't really get to him," Peluso said.
If anything, Pandolfe gets to the moment. Like the two different times he picked Fitch runners off second base.
"My shortstop, Jesse Coates, just flashed a signal," Pandolfe said, alluding to pickoffs in first and fifth innings, killing potential Fitch rallies. "I just went with the play and did it fast."
Pandolfe pitched a complete game with three strikeouts.
"That kid threw well," Fitch coach Marc Peluso said. "Threw strikes. He won the championship."
Waterford scored four times in the third inning, highlighted by Seth Hoagland's RBI single and Kyle Willoughby's two-run triple to deep right. Hamler drove in a run an inning later with an infield single.
This was Waterford's first ECC tournament title since 2005.
"I'm happy for the kids, especially the seniors," Art Peluso said. "The adults just go along for the ride. I appreciate how much effort and time they've put in. We play hard. This is our 23rd game. We've played hard all 23. We didn't necessarily play well, but we've played hard."
This was also the third time this season that Waterford defeated Fitch, giving Art Peluso a 3-0 advantage over his brother.
Marc Peluso, however, coached the Falcons to the Class L title last season.
"It sucks losing, simple as that. And watching that go on?" Marc Peluso said, alluding to Waterford's championship celebration. "You can't be happy from our standpoint. It's great for him that he has an ECC championship. He works hard and tries to do things the right way. It's tremendous for him. But if you think I'm pleased about it … no."
David Porter was the losing pitcher for Fitch, victimized by two errors in the four-run fourth.
"The big thing for David was to make sure he got his work in before the state tournament," Marc Peluso said.
"We didn't really support him well defensively or offensively until last couple innings."

The loss gave the Bearkats and the Cowgirls a Southland Conference split in the two-game series. McNeese State now stands 25-11 for the year and 8-2 in Southland Conference while Sam Houston drops to 18-17 overall and 8-4 in league play
Sam Houston scored two runs in the top of the second inning. Third baseman Shelbi Tucker singled and later tallied on a RBI hit by second baseman Allysa Coggins. Catcher Ashley Isbell scored on an error to give the Bearkats a 2-1 lead. But the Cowgirls added a run in the bottom of the second, then five more in the fourth inning and two in the sixth.
A ground ball by Tucker scored Jessica Slater for Sam Houston's final run in the top of the seventh.
Sam Houston will take on Prairie View A&M in a non-conference doubleheader at Prairie View Tuesday afternoon. The event will be the next opportunity for SHSU head coach to pick up his 1,000th career victory. Brock has coached 27 years at Sam Houston, Texas A&M and Baylor. He will be the 22nd NCAA Division I softball coach to achieve the 1,000 victory plateau.

With Kobe Bryant having won five NBA titles, one away from Michael Jordan's six, the comparisons between the two are inevitable. But Phil Jackson, who coached Bryant's Lakers and Jordan's Bulls to all 11 of their combined titles, thinks Jordan is in his own stratosphere and that the conversations comparing the two stars should stop.
"Kobe has patterned himself after Michael, and there are a lot of identical things there," Jackson told the Los Angeles Times, "but it's one thing to hope to be like him, it's another thing to be like him."
"I'm with (ESPN's) Bill Simmons on this," he added. "We have to take Michael Jordan out of the equation. Stop comparing anyone to Michael Jordan. It's just not fair. He was remarkable. ...
"(Kobe) doesn't shoot the same percentage (.455) as Michael (.497). He has the same characteristics as Michael, but he's not the same player. It takes nothing away from him — he's a great player in his own right."

Hi all,
I needed to solve a generalized positive defined eigenvalue problem of the form AX=B lambda X, where A and B are real and symmetric. For that I was going to use DSYGV routine. I prepared all the necessary entities and checked if matrix B is positive-defined by diagonalizing it with a standard eigenvalue solver, namely the DSYEVX routine. The eigenvalue were all positive and not small. But solving the eigenvalue problem with the DSYGV threw an error message saying that 2nd leading minor of B is not positive-definite. Then I adopted for solution the following:
- first, used Cholesky decomposition routine DPOTRF
- second used DSYGST routine to reduce the generalized eigenvalue problem to the standard one
- at last, solved the the standard eigenvalue problem with the mentioned above solver DSYEVX.
This way it worked and the result was correct!
I wonder why the generalized routine did not work. Did someone have a similar experience?
I can also add that when I supplied my matrices to the generalized eigensolver for the nonsymmetric matrices, the DGGEV routine, the result was a complex spectrum.
Thanks a lot in advance, who can help or comment on that.

Lion's Club concession stand
The pictures were taken at the two different Lion's Club concession locations along Fraley Street after the parade. The Lions Club teamed up with volunteers from of the High School Boys and Girls Soccer teams to sell popcorn, snow cones, cotton candy and water all along the parade route. Not shown in the pictures but also helping out were members of the cheerleading squad under the direction of advisor Chris Niklas who helped make popcorn Saturday morning to be sold during the parade. Concession Wagon chairman Dave Kearney was very pleased with the arrangement with the high school kids commenting that the Lions Club got the help and energy of the kids and the kids got the experience of helping out in the community.
