Nearly $2B NASA award builds on health, science work
Wyle has won a whopper of a recompete, capturing a 10-year, $1.76 billion prize at NASA to support human space flight missions.
The contract, called the Human Health and Performance Contract, is a follow-on to a pact that was worth about $971 million to the company, a spokesman said.
Under the new contract, Wyle will support the International Space Station, Orion, commercial space initiatives and exploration human systems development. The contract will focus on crew and occupational health care, medical operations and informatics, biomedical and physiological research, space flight habitability and environmental health, development and integration of flight hardware and the integration of flight experiments.
Some of the work the company has done includes development of the Colbert Treadmill, a special treadmill that allows astronauts to run without the vibrations disrupting the space stations stability, the spokesman said. The treadmill is named after Stephen Colbert, the comedian behind the satirical news show, the Colbert Report.
Wyle also works on all medical and health equipment that is launched into space, and conducts health monitoring of astronauts before, during and after missions
The contract is the biggest in the company's history, the spokesman said.
The company is leading a team of 10 subcontractors that incudes Lockheed Martin, Barrios Technology, CSC-Dynamac, Eagle Applied Sciences, Enterprise Advisory Services, Geocontrols Systems, JES Tech, MEI Technologies, University of Houston, and the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas.
The majority of the work will be conducted at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Note: Dyed by hand in small batches, Madelinetosh yarns do not come in dye lots. We do our best to visually match hanks for each order and will contact you via email if one or more hanks differ noticeably from the others. The beauty of hand-dyed yarns is that each hank is a unique work of art, so please be aware that there can be a variation in coloring, hue and saturation, even within the same dye batch. With a generous 270 yards in each skein of Tosh Sport, you'll easily be able to knit sweaters, blankets, and any other project you can imagine! Each squishy skein is machine washable.
Madelinetosh Tosh Sock Yarn and Madelinetosh Tosh DK Yarn are both similar yarns: merino wool, machine wash, 100 gram, and 100% superwash merino wool.

In the men's mile Ryan broke the oldest record on the books for Lipscomb Indoor Track at the current distances. Ryan's time of 4:11.31 surpassed Lipscomb legend Andy Russell's mark of 4:12.34, set in 1968.
Later in the day Chastain also took the men's 3000m record from Nathan Brame. Nathan's time of 8:56.72 was set last year. Ryan led four Lipscomb men under that time, posting his personal best for indoor or outdoor track of 8:29.97.
"There's no question Ryan is having a great season and is really leading the way for the program this year," head coach Bill Taylor said. "His performances are setting the tone for the whole team, raising the level at which we compete and are inspiring the men's and women's teams, from sprints and jumps to throws to distance.
"The mile record is probably the most prestigious record a distance athlete can get. Even though the full mile is only really run indoors in this era, it is still the Cadillac of distance events. I know it is a huge honor for Ryan to beat a Lipscomb legend in Andy Russell."
Since races are now measured in meters rather than yards records are sometimes difficult to determine in certain events.
"The tough thing has been that a lot of the distances that used to be raced, are no longer raced in this era," Taylor said. "Lipscomb has some very strong records from the 60s and 70s. We have retired all the records that are in yards. They are still on the books and hopefully will be posted on the website some day soon, but we compete in meters for all races except the mile now. So the mile is one of the few straight up comparisons we have for indoor track. "
Ryan also picked up a school record in the 3000m, dropping about 26 seconds off the previous record.
"If you compare his time to Russell's 8:54.4 two-mile, Russell's two-mile is a stronger record," Taylor said. "Unfortunately it is doubtful anyone at Lipscomb will ever race a two-mile again. On the other side, Andy Russell and all the athletes of those incredible years in the late 60s and early 70s at Lipscomb will always be remembered.
"Like I said though, Ryan is very honored to have the mile record now. It was an exciting day in the continued resurgence of this program and huge in our development at the NCAA Division I level."
Chastain wasn't the only Lipscomb athlete to take down a school record. In all, 11 school records were set on the University of Indiana's 200m banked track.
In the women's mile Amanda Twigg broke the Lipscomb Indoor record, posting a time of 5:10.29. That time bettered current teammate Jenny Randolph's school record set last year.
Other school records set at Indiana on Friday: Sara Stephens 400m 58.77, Women's 4x400m Relay of Anika Piorkowski, Valerie Winkler, Amanda Twigg and Sara Stephens 4:06.89, Sara Stephens 600m 1:37.48, Xavier Conley 60m 7.08, Bobby Bassett 200m 22.48, Bobby Bassett 400m 49.36, Steven Mason 600m 1:26.48, Men's 4x400m Relay of Mike Knox, Ryan Powell, Brock Lutes and Bobby Bassett 3:22.93.
"We've had a very good indoor season even though we train through it and our training and mental focus is more on outdoor track," Taylor said. "The A-Sun Indoor Championships are in two weeks and we will see how things go there. I expect it to be our best A-Sun meet since moving to NCAA Division I. The teams are enjoying what we are doing on the track and off the track and are motivated to have fun and do well at the A-Sun and through the outdoor season."

I think Al Gore needs to invest in some really speedy running shoes! I keep wondering if he can be prosecuted for perpetrating a fraud upon the American people. He's a liar. I'm sick about the damage he has done to how Americans are viewed in the world.
I favor former Governor Palin's energy ideas. Clean coal, natural gas and start drilling for oil of our own. And certainly the United States of America owes NO ONE money for the agreements drawn up in Copenhagen. I did not agree to this use of tax dollars. Who did Obama think he was up there promising away our dollars for unsubstantiated carbon footprints. Here's a footprint up your behind sir.
Drill Baby Drill.
Grief – we are being scared over every little
thing from Tsunami, schools lock down, climate, 'severe' weather every time it rains
This is manipulation city. Yet we hear little
about the real problems- like why health costs go up and up but nobody explains what the causes are. Or why the Credit Default Swap market increased by 500 times in 10 years.
Also, for intermittent energy – it might make
more sense to bring the work to where the
windmills are than trying to connect them to
the grid, and ditto for solar.

MSI's AMD powered $1200 gaming laptop, the GX60
Subject: Mobile | January 30, 2013 - 05:50 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: msi, gx60, gaming laptop, amd, 7970m
If you want a gaming laptop and don't want to spend $2000+ then an AMD powered machine is a really good choice, even if you are attracted to Intel's more powerful CPUs. Not only are the graphics on the A10-4600M better than Intel's offerings, the MSI GX60 comes with a discrete 7970M GPU with 2GB of dedicated RAM. That will beat out all but the most expensive of Intel powered gaming laptops and in certain situations will prove more powerful than even the most expensive laptops. If you opt to have a 128GB SSD installed in the GX60 it will bring the price to about $1500, you could most likely get a 256GB SSD separately instead if you are looking to save some cash. Check out the performance at TechSpot.
"Most people can't afford to spend a few thousand on a notebook computer, even if it's on a solid gaming machine that doubles as a desktop replacement. To that end, today we'll be checking out a portable from MSI that aims to deliver a solid gaming experience without the excessive cost.
The MSI GX60 comes packed with a quad-core AMD A10-4600M CPU clocked at 2.3GHz alongside AMD Radeon HD 7970M discrete graphics with 2GB of GDDR5 memory, a 15.6-inch non-glare display operating at 1920x1080, 8GB of DDR3 memory in a 4GBx2 configuration, 128GB of flash storage used as the OS drive and a 750GB 7200RPM disk drive for storage."

Seems like a rip off (Though less of a ripoff than other gaming laptops) as compared to other laptops without the GPU, they are adding $850 For just a GPU, higher res display and SSD
And for the SSD, it seems like they chose the cheapest triple level cell SSD they could find just so they could check off that SSD box.
While the 1080p display seems good, if you look at the replacement cost, 1080p displays tend to run about $20 more than 1366x768 displays.
Overall, a budget laptop (With budget CPU) with a better display, jacked up GPU and and astronomical profit margin.
Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about.
Did you know that people who say
"Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about."
But forget the "and here's why" part, generally do not know what they are talking about?
you are a fucking moron, you are not going to find a portable laptop this powerful at that price, specially not an intel one, and besides the company has to make an income, it's called a business fucking moron.
That is why I mentioned that it is not as much of a ripoff as other gaming laptops but it is still a ripoff for a gaming laptop.
Compared to non gaming laptops, gaming laptops tend to focus on having a significantly higher profit margin.
Another issue with that gaming laptops is that they are using a CPU that bottlenecks the GPU. Overall it is a poorly balanced laptop that causes (as shown in the review) some games to run at nearly half the speed as other laptops with a similar or same GPU but better CPU.
They could have gotten better performance overall (gaming and general use) by simply choosing a slightly lower end GPU and then investing in a better CPU, or accepting a lower profit margin (which would still be better than the profit margin of most standard non gaming laptops) and getting a significantly higher end CPU.

"Funk Action Jingle" is a short, hard-ending piece featuring saxophone, electric bass, electric piano and an acoustic drum kit. The saxophones and electric piano make quick stabs as the bass glides bounces along with a constant open hi-hat.
With its sharp and sudden ending, this jingle could be paired with logo graphics, used as an identifier or as scene transition music in an animation or podcast project.
Thanks for listening.

NBC 9 News
A new policy at the University of Colorado says students or staff who make violent threats could be required to undergo a mental-health screening.
The new rule was announced Tuesday. It was drafted after the April 16 massacre at Virginia Tech that left 32 victims and the gunman dead.University officials also cited the separate arrests of three students at the Boulder campus for threats or implied threats in the days following the Virginia Tech shootings.
The new policy says Boulder campus officials "may refer individuals accused of making threats of violence for an assessment of the likelihood that they will act on a threat of violence."
A free-speech watchdog group called the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education says the policy could make people hesitant to speak freely despite First Amendment protections.
CU spokesman Bronson Hilliard says the policy was meant to keep the campus safe while protecting free-speech rights.

This guy claims he wore the button that read "One Nation Under God, Indivisible" for a year before management said anything, until he began bringing his bible to work to read during his lunch break. But once his boss told him he couldn't wear it, then it became his responsibility as an employee to not wear it. Simple as that. Home Depot claims it does not allow political statements to be worn by its employees, and they regard the button as making a political statement.
Trevor Keezer is now suing Home Depot for religious discrimination. If he did wear it for a year before management said anything, he may have a case. He was also allowed to wear a company approved button "United We Stand." That could be taken as a political statement too.
I dunno. I think he may have a case. Thoughts?
Interesting legal case. Hope he loses. But if he wins, does that mean Atheists can wear buttons at work too? Ex: "There is no God in which to trust."
Sounds like the guy may have a case. I'd rather he lost but I mean those words do come straight from the Pledge of Allegiance. Maybe that doesn't matter though, most businesses are secular, and you're supposed to check your faith, or lack of it, at the door. Here's something I never knew until recently, the words "under God" were only added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, a relatively short time ago.

Turns out that some of Haren's best tweets came on a day when he was riding on an exercise bike, was bored, and decided to reflect on his time as a major league pitcher. As my Twitter acquaintance said:@JArrieta34 saw you gave up a run, hang in there. Thinking of you.— dan haren (@ithrow88) April 28, 2016
These tweets are worth reading, so I thought I'd storify them for you.

2006 Pontiac G6
Drivetrain Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2006 Pontiac G6 has major problems with two areas fairly critical to the act of driving... steering & safety.
The 2006 G6 has a major defect trend with electronic power-assisted steering failure. The power steering cuts out while driving, making it extremely difficult to steer. G6 owners typically report spending $600 - $1,200+ to fix the problem, replacing either the entire steering column or the power assist motor.
In March 2010, GM recalled 1.3 million vehicles for this exact problem "...after receiving 1,100 complaints of power steering failures." However the 2006 G6 wasn't included in that recall.
In July 2010, GM issued a "Special Coverage Adjustment" — TSB #10183 — covering "certain" (not all) 2005, 2006 & 2008 Pontiac G6's for this power steering issue, up to 10 years/100k miles. However a large number of 2006 G6 owners have reported they were not covered by this campaign, based on VIN#.
As of late 2013 the NHTSA had well over 700 steering complaints on file for the 2006 G6, with 21 crashes & 12 injuries. The NHTSA closed their initial investigation in 2007, having determined that losing your power steering going over 15-20 mph isn't a big deal & that most crashes occurred at slow speeds, so not a safety risk. Ridiculous? Yep, we think so too.
The 2006 G6 also has an expensive problem with "popping" or "clunking" noises when turning, & that issue extends to newer model years as well.
Factor in the 2006 Pontiac G6's poor side impact protection & you end up with a vehicle you should steer clear of.

The start of something (not so) new…
Posted December 30, 2011on:
So, this is it...
My new shiny place on the web – a place for me to express my thoughts, ramble on about my life in general, comment on the world how I see it and generally become, once again a blogger.
This isn't my first delve into the world of "blogging" – when I was younger I did dabble with a livejournal and suchlike. But, like most things, as you get older, work harder and generally have less time, the posts slowed down to a stop. And to be honest, although it felt exciting at the time, it was pretty boring stuff – just daily comings and goings etc. Like most teenagers I imagine.
Now we are at the end of 2011, and bordering on the beginning of 2012. The beginning of what is to be a very hectic, but hopefully special year for me. And just like every year, I have started to think about New Year's Resolutions. But, unlike most other years I have decided to make just the odd one or two resolutions, that I know I will be able to keep. Going for a 2 hour run every evening is, quite frankly, as likely as winning the lottery for me right now – so what is the point in making it? Think simple, think achievable and mostly think about what I actually want to get from 2012. So, my first post will be my New Year's Resolutions:
1) Remember to take my make up off every night before bed. (Yes, I have a habit of forgetting and I know this is not good. So far, I have remembered every day but one since Christmas Day – so we are stepping in the right direction at least!)
2) Make time for me and for us. To do the things we want to do. 2012 is a year that is going to bring some fantastic things for us but also a year that will be busy, and at times financially difficult. We have the wedding, and the honeymoon and the new house to decorate – and this will mean we will work harder than ever to achieve these dreams. So, my other resolution is to make the time for ME and for US. Even if it just an hour a week where we can just be together, and relax. For me, it might be writing, or reading, or getting to grips with a new painting or drawing method. But thats what matters – it doesn't cost anything and means the world.

And that is it, for now. It's a short, but important list. And it was thinking about resolutions that made me think about blogging again. I might not always have much to say, I might not always be right, but it gives me my own little space, and a place to put all my creativities!

He told Jarrett Bell of USA Today that Sherman should stop the talk about being the best cornerback in football that started while Revis was hurt last season because "you can't crown yourself as anything" in the NFL. He also suggested Sherman try to find a different way of building up his own game than by trying to tear down Revis.
"He needs to quit attaching his career to my career," Revis said. "A lot of people need to have respect for this game. I'm not just talking about him. Respect what people have done to pave the way. Deion paved the way. Rod Woodson paved the way. Darrell Green. Mel Blount. Champ Bailey. Charles Woodson. Yeah, we're the next group, but you don't need to be getting into it with me. At the end of the day, this is a fraternity. We're all in this together, competing. But you don't have to shoot nobody else down."

Frederica Perera talks with Paul Gilman, outgoing chairperson of the E.P.A. panel to review the World Trade Center cleanup program.
E.P.A. waits for permission to test its offices
By Ronda Kaysen
The Environmental Protection Agencys World Trade Center environmental retesting plan is mired in bureaucracy delays, and the agency has not even received permission to test its own Lower Manhattan offices.
At a Nov. 15 E.P.A. Expert Technical Review Panel meeting, representatives from the E.P.A. announced that in order for the agency to identify a signature a defining trait that differentiates W.T.C. disaster dust from regular New York City dust it needs access to buildings both near the W.T.C. disaster and far outside of the dust plumes reach.
We are looking for people to open their homes to samplers, said Nancy Adams, team lead of decontamination and consequence management for the E.P.A./ORD National Homeland Security Research Center. We need as many samples as we can get.
So far, the agency has tested one apartment and four commercial buildings to validate W.T.C. dust, but it does not have permission from the city, state or federal government to test government buildings, including the E.P.A.s own offices at 290 Broadway. The agency hopes to sample 120 buildings south of Houston St. for the sampling program itself, which is expected to begin in the spring.
Advocates say local residents and business owners are reluctant to open their homes and businesses to an agency that many Downtowners feel, in the aftermath of 9/11, misled them about the areas air quality. The governments reluctance to participate offers little comfort.
Why would other landlords want to open up their spaces if the government wont? said Catherine McVay Hughes, the panels community liaison. What do they know that I dont know? Especially since Im a Downtown resident sitting on the panel. Hughes also expressed concern for employees in government buildings who may want their offices checked, despite what their employer in this case the government wants.
Employees, both in the public and private sector, should have the right to have their workplaces sampled for contamination if they so choose, but they currently do not under federal law, according to David Newman, a member of the 17-member panel and representative from the New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health. Public and private employees do, however, have the right to review any sampling results their employers receive, if they request them.
The lack of access to government buildings for both the signature validation stage of the process and the sampling stage is a bureaucratic delay, not a refusal of access, according to the E.P.A. Nancy [Adams] is negotiating with G.S.A. to have access to the buildings, said Michael Brown, an E.P.A. spokesperson. The U.S. General Services Administration manages the countrys federal buildings including 290 Broadway. Its a big bureaucracy. Their request is working its way through the system.
Local officials and researchers view the exclusion of government buildings as a detriment to the scientific process. It is important to get a sample representative of the buildings that might have been affected, said panelist Dr. Marc Wilkenfeld of the Environmental Health and Safety Department at Columbia University. Statistically, you need a certain amount of buildings to achieve an accurate and representative sampling.
City Councilmember Alan Gerson, whose district office is on Chambers St. near the W.T.C. site, insists that a comprehensive study must include a broad sampling of buildings, including government buildings. We need to have a full cross section of Downtown, said Gerson. Any cross section has to include the city and federal buildings. Gerson has also been insistent that Downtown parks and playgrounds where children regularly play be checked. At the Nov. 15 meeting, the panel discussed including parks as well.
Spokespersons for both G.S.A. and the Department for Citywide Administrative Services, which manages 53 city-owned office and court buildings, did not return calls for comment.
The E.P.A. hopes to sample apartments in Manhattan north of 79th St. for the background sample. According to Adams, the samplers cause little disturbance to the apartments they sample, simply vacuuming the space with HEPA vacuums. It would be a public service and it would be a minimal inconvenience, she said
With no plan in place for how to go about cleaning up contamination if and once it is found, residents wonder who will be responsible for cleaning the contamination if it is discovered in their own apartments. Unless this [the sampling] is linked to cleanup, people would not want to volunteer to find out that there are high levels of contaminants [in their homes or offices,] Micki Siegel de Hernandez, the panels alternate community liaison, told the panel.
The expert panel was formed last March by Senator Hilary Clinton and the White House Council on Environmental Quality when the senator held up the confirmation of E.P.A. administrator Michael Leavitt last year. It has two years to complete its analysis of how far the W.T.C. dust plume traveled, the extent of the contamination and how to track the health consequences of the dust. The panel was created largely in the hopes of restoring public trust of the E.P.A. in the aftermath of 9/11, following an independent inspector general report that judged the E.P.A. acted with insufficient evidence when it determined the air in Lower Manhattan safe to breathe.
Community support is crucial to an accurate study of the area, according to outgoing panel chairperson Paul Gilman. If we dont have the community engaged, were at a real disadvantage, he told Downtown Express. Gilman announced his resignation from both the E.P.A. and the panel on Nov. 3. His successor has yet to be named. The panels next meeting, in December, has yet to be scheduled.
Details regarding the cleaning process cannot be worked out until an accurate picture of the contamination is determined. Gilman said the E.P.A. planned to enlist the community for help in locating potential participants. Its about communication and people understanding what were doing
We need to assure people who are participating that if indeed we find levels were going to clean that apartment, Gilman said.
Government participation in the sampling process may put some residents and business owners at ease, according to panelist Wilkenfeld. It would promote a great deal of good will among the residents if those [government] buildings are included, he said.
Finding contamination does not guarantee that the contaminated area will be cleaned, even if an agency is willing to foot the bill. For example, public spaces, such as an apartment building hallway, must have the approval of the buildings owner, not its residents, to be cleaned.
Were not forcing people to do anything and that may be upsetting for some people, Gilman told the panel.
Manhattan residents and business owners, both near the W.T.C. site and north of 79th St., who would like to participate in the sampling and validation process should contact Nancy Adams at 919-541-5510.

A painting of the founder of the Caswell Developmental Center now hangs at the Center�s Museum & Visitors Center on Vernon Avenue.
A painting of the founder of the Caswell Developmental Center now hangs at the Center�s Museum & Visitors Center on Vernon Avenue.
Dr. Ira Hardy IV of Kinston donated the portrait of his ancestor, Dr. Ira May Hardy, in November.
The portrait, painted by an unknown artist, L. Freeman, hangs above a fireplace in the museum.
Leon Owens, Center director, said he appreciates receiving the painting as it depicts the man who got the center off the ground.
�It�s a beautiful painting,� he said. �It reflects our history. It�s a big part of our history, and it�s a wonderful addition to our museum.�
The late Hardy, a La Grange native who had a family member with mental retardation, wrote a paper outlining his vision for a place to treat the �feebleminded,� according to the Caswell Center�s website.
Hardy, who passed away in November 1948, submitted that article to the Seaboard Medical Society. That paper and his lobbying efforts resulted in the General Assembly authorizing the school in 1911.
The North Carolina School for the Feebleminded was built in 1912 with Hardy serving as superintendent in a building that still stands today in the center of the campus. The residence, a farmhouse now known as the Stroud House, opened in 1914 with the admittance of 15 women and a new superintendent.
Residents received treatment, schooling and vocational work training on the farm until they were able to return to their homes.
The Caswell Center grew out of the imagination of Hardy to its present state � more than 100 buildings on 300 acres and the oldest facility of its kind in North Carolina. In fact, it had housed 2,000 residents before another facility was built.
�If it hadn�t been for Dr. Hardy,� Owens said, �there wouldn�t be a Caswell Center.�
The Center�s 100th anniversary was held April 2011.
The founder�s descendent, Hardy IV, believed the portrait would be �wonderful� to display at the museum, said Danielle Howell, director of Volunteer Services.
�His family donated a very beautiful portrait,� she said. �� I think it was a great honor to have that portrait here.�

Hi all from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. I saw a mention of "BENTO" on a diet site (maybe weight watchers??). I had never seen the word before much less heard of the concept. So what do I do? GOOGLE of course, LOL. And that's where I discovered just exactly what a bento box was. I was fascinated and hooked. I started making bentos when school started and make them every day for my 17 yr old daughter. My 21 yr old son is now asking for them on days when he has classes. Mine are not artistic or usually even "pretty" but they are healthy and filling which were my priorities for my kids.
My DD said the kids used to make fun of her lunches but now love to see what she's getting each day (though they still laugh at some of her containers). She loves fresh food and veggies so I do lots of salads (fruit salad and veggie salads). But I've also made MANY of Maki's japanese recipes and they have all been big hits in the bento box. I just finished eating a potato oyaki with meat soboro and made sunomono for my daughter's bento this morning!
I find bentos fascinating and hope to find the time to make one for ME each day!
Hello! I wish my mom made my lunches in high school! Sounds like the challenge will be a good way for you to finally get your own bento. I love making mine in the morning, especially since it's a nice quiet way to start the day.

Via Krugthulu, Marco Rubio's isn't sure how old the planet is:
GQ: How old do you think the Earth is?
Marco Rubio: I'm not a scientist, man. I can tell you what recorded history says, I can tell you what the Bible says, but I think that's a dispute amongst theologians and I think it has nothing to do with the gross domestic product or economic growth of the United States. I think the age of the universe has zero to do with how our economy is going to grow. I'm not a scientist. I don't think I'm qualified to answer a question like that. At the end of the day, I think there are multiple theories out there on how the universe was created and I think this is a country where people should have the opportunity to teach them all. I think parents should be able to teach their kids what their faith says, what science says. Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. It's one of the great mysteries.
At one level, this shows the Republican's anti-science at its worse. The Christian right doesn't see science as a path to knowledge, merely as another hermetic cult with its own competing creation myths. This is the key to why this young eartherism is a problem.
On another level, it shows the chutzpah of the Republicans. Of course being scientifically illiterate has an impact on the economy! The economy is more or less science in action, or at least the application of things that haven't failed yet, which is more or less what science is.
This should be worrying for everyone involved (which sadly is everyone) because we're already 13 days into the 2016 campaign, and this guy is in the front of the Republican pack.

Emery's Alphabet Nursery
Name: Emery (15 months)
Location: Kenora, Ontario, Canada
Color Inspiration: While I was pregnat and looking for inspiration for my baby's nursery, I was drawn to the color blue, so naturally, I thought I must be having a boy. However, since we decided not to find out the sex, I decided not make it too boyish, just in case. So I found a robin's egg blue for the walls which I thought could work for a boy or a girl and added pops of bright color in the accessories to make it more gender neutral. The hits of color in the carpet tiles, artwork and bedding all help to make the space more playful and fun and not too boyish, which is a good thing because baby Emery turned out to be a girl!
Tip for Using Color: Choose a color theme that coordinates with bright colors. Most children's toys are bright and colorful and as you accumulate more and more toys, instead of them just becoming a mess, they become accessories in the room.
Colors Used: White - Mountain Peak White (Benjamin Moore Paints). Blue - Bird's Egg Blue (Benjamin Moore Paints)
Thanks for your colorful entry Lindsay and good luck!

At present levels, traders are keeping a close eye on shares of Sirius XM Holdings I (SIRI). During a recent scan, we have spotted Span A above Span B. If this position holds, traders might be anticipating a bullish move higher.
Investors are constantly striving to get on top in the stock market. Everyone wants to find that next winner to jumpstart the portfolio. Investors often identify risk preference when trying to sort out asset allocation. Typically, a greater amount of risk may provide a greater chance for growth. Many investors may struggle with the concept of keeping emotion out of choosing stocks. Equity research often requires a high degree of patience, dedication, and practice. Learning everything possible about the markets can help the individual build a good base to work with. Being able to sort out the data to determine what is relevant information can help with those tough investment decisions.
The Williams Percent Range or Williams %R is another technical indicator worth checking out. Sirius XM Holdings I (SIRI) currently has a 14 day Williams %R of -30.36. The Williams %R fluctuates between 0 and -100 measuring whether a security is overbought or oversold. The Williams %R is similar to the Stochastic Oscillator except it is plotted upside-down. Levels above -20 may indicate the stock may be considered is overbought. If the indicator travels under -80, this may signal that the stock is oversold. Chart analysts may also use the indicator to project possible price reversals and to define trends.
Taking a peek at some Moving Averages, the 200-day is at 6.62, the 50-day is 6.13, and the 7-day is sitting at 6.26. The moving average is a popular tool among technical stock analysts. Moving averages are considered to be lagging indicators that simply take the average price of a stock over a specific period of time. Moving averages can be very useful for identifying peaks and troughs. They may also be used to help the trader figure out proper support and resistance levels for the stock.
Traders may be leaning on technical stock analysis to help with investing decisions. Sirius XM Holdings I (SIRI) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 74.41. Despite the name, CCI can be used on other investment tools such as stocks. The CCI was designed to typically stay within the reading of -100 to +100. Traders may use the indicator to determine stock trends or to identify overbought/oversold conditions. A CCI reading above +100 would imply that the stock is overbought and possibly ready for a correction. On the other hand, a reading of -100 would imply that the stock is oversold and possibly set for a rally.
When applying indicators for technical analysis, traders and investors might want to look at the ATR or Average True Range. The current 14-day ATR for Sirius XM Holdings I (SIRI) is currently sitting at 0.19. The ATR basically measures the volatility of a stock on a day-to-day basis. The average true range is typically based on 14 periods and may be calculated daily, weekly, monthly, or intraday. The ATR is not considered a directional indicator, but it may reflect the strength of a particular move.
Checking in on some other technical levels, the 14-day RSI is currently at 51.28, the 7-day stands at 50.83, and the 3-day is sitting at 43.84. Many investors look to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading of a particular stock to help identify overbought/oversold conditions. The RSI was developed by J. Welles Wilder in the late 1970's. Wilder laid out the foundation for future technical analysts to further investigate the RSI and its relationship to underlying price movements. Since its inception, RSI has remained very popular with traders and investors. Other technical analysts have built upon the work of Wilder. The 14-day RSI is still a widely popular choice among technical stock analysts.
Making smart choices when picking stocks is typically a top priority for successful investors. For new investors with little market knowledge, this can be challenging. Figuring out how to start building the stock portfolio may take a lot of time and effort. When the individual investor decides that they want to manage their own portfolio and make their own trades, the journey has just begun. Many individuals will be tempted to pursue stock trading plans based on advice from friends, colleagues, or family members. Even though certain plans may work for someone else, there is no guarantee that success will transfer to others. Investors often need to do their own research in order to obtain as much knowledge as possible before diving in to the markets.

Missouri RV Park Owners Cite Extended Stays
April 21, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Missouri RV Park Owners Cite Extended Stays
With gas prices on the rise, some Missouri RV owners are changing their travel plans.
According to the Missouri Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds, park owners throughout Missouri are noticing these changes, KMOX, St. Louis, reported.
As the owner of Mari-Osa-Delta RV Park and Campground in Jefferson City, Harold Taylor sees hundreds of travelers every summer. But this year, he says, will be a little different. "We had some come in a couple weeks ago and they ended up staying another two weeks," Harold said.
Extended stays in a campground will mean less time on the road, and less money spent on gas.
Larry Helms, president of the Missouri Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds, says park owners across the state are seeing this trend in their guests' travel plans.
"They're looking to stay closer to home and they're also looking to stay," Helms said. "They're wanting to stay an extra day or two or maybe sometimes a week."
For travelers, saving on fuel is essential. One RV owner says he pays almost $500 per fill-up.

FTM here. I've been trying to post on this forum since we got home from the hospital and that was 3 weeks ago! Finally, the site decided to let me complete my registration, so I will now explain myself and ask....and vent.
My LO is 3 weeks old. In the hospital the LC's adamantly encouraged skin to skin contact and also breast feeding right after she was born via c-section. I was so upset I had to have the surgery, the nurses knew how important breast feeding was to me so they wheeled me into recovery and I saw my girl within minutes. I didn't really understand how to feed her at first or how to hold her to nurse. She found my nipple during skin to skin and I was able to nurse for a moment before we needed to get back to the room and they cleaned her up. After that it was a nightmare. Her latch wasn't correct and by the end of our first night in the hospital, my nipples were bleeding and scabbed over. SO PAINFUL! Anyway, the LC's were amazing and helped me so much. When I went home I was feeling better about the nursing, but couldn't truly tell if it had improved because I was so sore. Well, after our first week home I was so upset, I was in tears crying while nursing her because of the pain. I was truly lost and had no hope. Finally my DH and I broke down and gave her the little 2 oz bottle of formula from the hospital. I felt awful...betrayed by my body especially after my unplanned c-section. I knew she needed to eat though, and the formula got her to bed. At that time I didn't know I could've pumped a bottle instead, so that's why I gave the formula. After that I decided to go to the LC again. They had been so nice, calling ME to check up on me since I went home and making sure I was doing better...
We determined that my LO was eating about 2 oz and was getting enough milk, but her latch was really hurting me still. After she worked with us, I was more confident when I went home. That was when my LO was about 1.5 weeks old. Since, she has gotten to be much better at latching. She was past her birth weight at her 2 week check up as well so I was relieved to know she was getting enough.
Until the other day, she won't latch big anymore! She isn't just on the tip of the nipple, but only has a small section of the areola in her mouth. It isn't painful at all (I'm recovering from a cracked nipple on one breast too) and I hear her swallowing...but it's making me nervous because she all of a sudden quit napping between feeds. It's like she won't settle. Her pee/poopy diaper output is normal, she is dirtying diapers round the clock. She also would not get calm last night around midnight. Usually my DH will give her pumped milk at midnight so I can get SOME sleep. She will pass right out. Last night she devoured 4 oz in 1-2 hours time and wouldn't pass out! Finally I put her down in her bassinet at 3 AM and she fussed for a minute then finally fell asleep. She pooped twice last night during this fiasco and it was small, and green! Not yellow like all day before...but now it's back to yellow. This worried me because I thought her latch was wrong and she wasn't getting enough...wouldn't that explain the green stool and her not settling? I also thought perhaps she was just cluster feeding or something. Why would she just randomly stop napping? I always had to wake her to feed during the day...now, she will just sit or lay there wide awake. I thought that was a good thing, maybe she'd be tired and sleep at night but boy, was I wrong!
I'm wondering if this is a growth spurt or if is she is just not satisfied? I can't tell if she's nursing for comfort or whatever else....every week is a new hurdle and I'm DESPERATELY trying not to give up but I'm confused. I don't even know what I am asking, just putting my story out there maybe someone can help me make sense of what is going on. I'd like to add that I am currently on an anti-fungal medication because I had burning and itchy nipples, no fever or other symptoms.. Seems to be getting better, baby had no visible symptoms of thrush at the time i started the meds.
LO has been great other than this...first week was a TRUE NIGHTMARE! Second week had me hoping....and until now, she had been sleeping and doing great! Maybe it's just a small bump in the road but her not napping and settling at night like she has been is driving me up the wall! I know newborns are unpredictable and make their own schedules and rules, but I really want to understand this more! My mom didn't breast feed any of her children, but me for a short time so I have no other place to go for suggestions/guidance. Sorry for the novel- Just needed to purge all of that info out of my head!

I've all but completed my lessons, and am hitting the classifieds for my first kite, which I'll be using primarily in Alameda.
I found what looks like an amazing deal: a brand new 2012 Cabrinha Vector 12m for $820. The reviews suggest that it is a good 'beginners kite', as well as what a Cabrinha rep posted back in February:
Vector is really a nice kite...about $200 less per size than the SB. I really like it in the smaller sizes. Because of it's smooth power delivery, stability, speed, it is the choice of Jason Stone, wakeskater extraordinaire. Haven't heard alot about it as unfortunately it got dubbed as a beginner kite because alot of schools use it as well as the SB, and that Cabrinha dropped previous models thought to be beginner kites. It's a three strut kite.
With the end of the season approaching, 12m seems like a good size (I'm about 180lbs).
$820 seems ridiculously low for a kite that is listing online for $1200 new, and $900 on eBay.
Any advice or insight would be most appreciated.

NEW YORK -- The grim toll from Superstorm Sandy has risen yet again in New York City with the death of a 77-year-old man who was found at the bottom of the stairs inside his dark, beachfront apartment building on Halloween.
Police said Sunday that Albert McSwain was the 43rd confirmed storm-related death in the city. His apartment building, on a beachfront boulevard in the Rockaways section of Queens, lost power as the storm made landfall on Oct. 29.
McSwain was found with head and body trauma, paralyzed from the neck down, on Oct. 31. He died of his injuries Saturday at a Queens hospital, officials said.
Much of the Rockaways, a narrow peninsula surrounded by Jamaica Bay on one side and the ocean on the other, has been without electricity since the storm hit. More than 166,000 people in New York, New Jersey and West Virginia remain without power, with New York suffering the most extensive outages.

Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has stated that he would be happy to stay with his current club for the remainder off his career.
The Spain international is currently under contract until June 2014 at Camp Nou, and although he is currently is no rush to sign an extension, he would fancy retiring with the Liga giants.
"Since I signed the last contract I have not spoken about it. I signed the last one in June 2009 and have not been concerned since," the 30-year-old told reporters.
"It is not the time for me to be worrying about it, there is still time. I'm focused on winning games. My dream is to retire here… Time will tell."
Despite his apparent desire to stay with Barca until he hangs up his boots, Valdes refused to rule out the possibility of experiencing the game in a different country.
"I have spent 11 years here and as goalkeeper it is difficult in many ways. I do not rule out other cultures, other football, other countries, we will see."
Barcelona went into the winter break with a comfortable nine-point advantage over Atletico Madrid in the Liga table, but Valdes thinks that it is not the time to talk about the title just yet.
"We have not even finished the first half of the season. It is true that we have a good distance over second and third, but it is not over. There is a long time to still play and a lot of points to play for."

True Grit (US - BD)
Gabe revisits the tale of Mattie Ross via the stylistic patterns of the Coen Bros...
After taking some time to play with silence ( No Country for Old Men, A Serious Man), and a comparative misstep working in the modern era ( Burn After Reading), The Coens are back into their comfort zone, filling top tier actor's mouths with massive spoonfuls of impossible dialogue. Sure, not all of these words are their own, but the brothers share the innate ability to make everything they adapt sound like it was conceived by only them. I have never read Charles Portis' book, so I cannot speak to how much the dialogue matches the original text, but I have seen the original film, and watched it a second time with the audio commentary, which features western genre and American West historians Jeb Rosebrook, Bob Boze Bell and J. Stuart Rosebrook, who discuss some of the differences between the book and the film. I also have access to Wikipedia. This familiar tale follows the adventures of Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld), whose father is murdered by a petty criminal named Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin). Following the collection of her father's body, Mattie takes to hiring a man with 'true grit' to hunt down Chaney, and bring him in – dead or alive. She soon discovers Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges), a one-eyed curmudgeon of a Deputy U.S. Marshal. Cogburn eventually takes Mattie up on her offer, and after an attempt at ditching her allows her to join him and newly arrived Texas Ranger LaBoeuf (Matt Damon), who himself has an interest in Chaney on the bickering road to retribution.
True Grit doesn't feel like the kind of immediate, magnetic neo-classic as something like Fargo or No Country for Old Men, but I can't point my finger on the reason for this. For all intents and purposes, there's nothing expressly wrong with this film. Perhaps it has something to do with this story being told in popular parlance before (I read No Country for Old Men after seeing the movie, so every plot movement was a surprise to me), or just a case of expectations being placed somewhere in the stratosphere, being met and not exceeded. Since I was expecting I'd enjoy a Coen Brothers retelling of this particular story, I'm left with little to say about True Grit, but am quite curious about its box office success. Along with Black Swan and The King's Speech (a movie I didn't like a whole lot, but appreciate for its simplicity in this context), True Grit managed to crack the top 25 for money making on a modest budget, with an emphasis on art, performance and a non-mainstream narrative, rather than three hours of cool spaceships, cars that turn into robots, and 3D effects that look kind of like a stoner's favourite black light poster. Not that there isn't a place for black light spaceship punching car-bots, they're just overwhelming the market at this point.
I'm guessing that the film's surprising financial climb to almost $250 million (it is easily the Coen's biggest financial success ever) had a lot to do with its humourous streak, which never quite oversteps into pitch blackness like Fargo, or utter surrealism like The Big Lebowski, which was far from a box office smash when originally released. A lack of goofy energy keeps me from comparing the comedy to Raising Arizona or The Hudsucker Proxy either. O Brother Where Art Thou is probably the best analogue in the Coen canon. This version of True Grit is much more of an intentional comedy than the original (perhaps I just didn't get the joke), which works because the Coen's use their patented comedic voice to tell what has always been a generally funny story (or so I hear). The whip-smart dialogue is usually the key funny element ('It astonishes me that Mr. LaBoeuf has been shot, trampled, and nearly bitten his tongue off, and yet not only does he continue to talk but he spills the banks of English.'), but there's a touch of the usual Coen weirdness at play too, such as the scene where they meet a bear covered doctor, or the fact that Lucky Ned Pepper's henchman Harold the thug makes animal noises. The thing that really makes Bridges' Cogburn better than Wayne's (besides the fact that Bridges is a better actor than Wayne) is his grandfatherly chatty quality. The Wayne version of the character comes off as bitchy, but Bridges finds charm in creating a character that threatens to tip into camp at any moment. The cast generally follows my extremely high expectations, which sounds like faint praise, but really isn't. If anyone sucked I'd have something more to talk about. I do very much hope Hailee Steinfeld keeps up the good work, and makes bright, non-high school romantic comedy choices in the upcoming years. For the record I am continuously impressed with Matt Damon's range and charm, and I now officially forgive Barry Pepper for Battlefield Earth (it only took me three great performances to get there).
For whatever reason (they're both kind of westerns?) I had assumed that True Grit would visually be an old timey answer to No Country for Old Men, but it's more of O Brother Where Art Thou?'s sibling. Roger Deakins, arguably the best living, working cinematographer, is certainly on his best behavior here. There's nothing revolutionary or transcendental about the photography here, but Deakins makes incredible use of scale, and makes some surprising choices in terms of contrast and colour quality. True Grit cannot be confused with a monochromatic production, but Deakins often lights the frame like a black and white film. The daylight scenes feature blown out, nearly white skies and landscapes, and the night scenes are pitch black with harsh highlights. Though there is some slight edge enhancement, the hard contrast of deep black and lighter elements is probably the most impressive thing this transfer has going for it. Details are sharp on all levels, but things are at their best when we're given the chance to absorb stark vistas. The biggest issue is a bit of over-sharpening on the whitest snowy sequence, creating some minor edge haloes. The last act, which appears to be heavily digitally augmented, is a little over-smoothed, but I didn't notice any other major artefacts.
Though the overall tone and look recall O Brother Where Art Thou, this sound design recalls No Country for Old Men. Well, if that film had any music that didn't only show up on an almost subconscious level. This DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 isn't excessive, but what it lacks in bombast it makes up for in sensation. Like many, many Coen Brothers features, True Grit is a celebration of subtle aural touches, and their contrast with ear-splitting loudness. The Coens' films tend to also deal in subjective hyper-realism, like Spielberg films, minus the explosions. A prime example of the mix's strengths comes when Mattie cuts a hanging man from a high branch. The branch itself creaks and cracks, while the sound of Cogburn and his horse below her is cut to a far off cry. Another interesting addition is that of super low bass frequencies, which are utilized in occasionally surprising places, creating odd tension during seemingly banal moments. Carter Burwell's score, based around a series of traditional hymns, is unassuming, and very traditional, but works well within the stylistic confines of the track.
The extras here are unsurprisingly sparse, and also unsurprisingly to anyone that knows the Coens' proclivity for avoiding the spotlight, does not include a lot of input from the writer/directors themselves. 'Mattie's True Grit' (5:10, HD) is fluffy a behind the scene featurette/interview with actress Hailee Steinfeld, who discusses her star making role with genuine insight and intelligence. This includes footage from her screen test, raw behind the scenes footage, and a couple bits of her training with horses. 'From Bustles to Buckskin: Dressing for the 1880s' (8:00, HD) covers Mary Zophres' costume design, as discussed from the point of view of the designer herself, Jeff Bridges and Barry Pepper. This is again brief, but there's some interesting information shoved into its runtime, including a brief history of the cowboy hats. 'Colts, Winchesters and Remingtons: The Guns of a Post-Civil War Western' (4:30, HD) unsurprisingly covers prop master Keith Walters's work with historically accurate items. 'Re-Creating Fort Smith' (11:20, HD) continues the quick-fire behind the scenes information on sets, location, and production design, including interviews with executive producer Robert Graf, production designer Jess Gonchor, and art director Christy Wilson. This also covers the use of the actual period steam train.
'The Cast' (5:30, HD) is actually more of a making-of EPK than a matching look at the cast. It includes lots of footage from the film, and interviews with Steinfeld, Damon, Pepper and Bridges, who spread their love all over each other. 'Charles Portis: The Greatest Writer You've Never Heard Of' (31:00, HD) is the meatiest, and most educational extra on the disc, and is actually long enough to appreciate. This featurette is made out of interviews with novelists, editors, screenwriters and Dwight Yoakam, who run us through the book's original author's life and career, from his first writing as a reporter, his early novel work, and delves pretty deeply into True Grit itself, and the original movie. 'The Cinematography of True Grit' (3:00, HD) closes out the featurettes, and features interviews with Roger Deakins, the cast, and producer Robert Graf, along with choice images from the film. Things close out with a trailer.
True Grit is not quite a masterpiece on the level of No Country for Old Men, but it's a great film, and easily better than Hollywood's first crack at the story (one I swear I'll get around to reading). The pacing is brisk, the tone perfectly balanced between sly comedy and stoic realism, the photography is breathtaking, and the performances are to die for. This Blu-ray release features a relatively problem free and beautiful 2.35:1 transfer, a sweet and subtle DTS-HD MA soundtrack, and one solid featurette about author Charles Portis nestled between a collection of fluffy EPKs.

Gabe, if you've seen both the original True Grit and the remake, there is no need to go back and read the book. I read the book before seeing the movies, and loved the book. But, especially with the Coen's version, the book is like reading the script for the movie. The dialogue is essentially taken right out of the book, as is all the action. Only Matt Damon's character changes between the book and the movie, but not by much! Just be ready to read the movie!

I'm a massive tool for the Coen brothers, and I have never cared for John Wayne films much at all (Stagecoach and The Searchers, that's it, and it had little to do with Wayne's performances). So it really didn't take much for me to like this version better than the original. I laughed so hard that I almost lost everything at the man in the bear suit.

I was actually out of town for a wedding and almost bought the audio book from iTunes for the trip. Good to know I didn't miss much.

I enjoyed the ending of the original so much more. But otherwise the Coen's True Grit was alright.

I was gonna say that I prefer Sven Nykvist over Deakins, who is also amazing, but then I remembered that Nykvist is sorta not alive, let alone working. Sorta disqualifies him "best living, working cinematographer."
That being said, I haven't seen any of Nykvist's post-Ingmar-Bergman stuff.

Although Lipscomb got a solid effort out of both starting pitchers, the Bisons could not overcome several errors and a strong Stetson offense as they were defeated in both games of the double-header on Saturday, May 12.
In the first game, the Bisons offense got going early, taking a 1-0 lead on Shane Simpkins' second home run of the season.
The Hatters battled back, scoring two runs in the top of the third to take a 2-1 lead.
The Bisons tied the score in the bottom of the inning when Andrew Nickerson walked with the bases loaded.
Once again, the hatters retook the lead with two runs in the fourth to bring the score to 4-2.
The Bisons would pull within one on a home run by Justin Sanders in the sixth.
The Hatters added another three runs off of reliever, John King in the ninth, only one of which was earned, to increase their lead to 7-3, the final.
The Bisons' starter, Rob Smithson received the loss to drop his record to 6-5. In seven innings, he gave up four runs on seven hits while striking out five.
After both starters threw up zeroes in the first three innings, game two of the double-header was quickly taking the shape of a pitcher's duel.
The Bisons finally broke through against the Hatter's starter, Jake Hitchcock in the fourth on an RBI single by Justin Sanders.
The Bisons added to their lead with another run in the fifth when Simpkins was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to bring the score to 2-0.
After throwing seven scoreless innings, the Hatters finally got to Brothers in the eighth putting runners on the corners with one out. The Bisons then went to their bullpen, calling on right-hander, Brandon McClurg. McClurg allowed an RBI single to Justin Bass to put the Hatters on the board. Stetson would add two more runs on a throwing error by McClurg and a fielder's choice to take a 3-2 lead.
In 7.1 innings, Brothers gave up two runs on four hits in the no-decision. He struck out six.
The Bisons rallied to tie the game with a run in the ninth. Branden Cadavid walked to lead off the inning. After advancing to second on a sacrifice bunt by Allen Bolden, Cadavid would score on an error by the Hatters' first basemen.
However, the Hatters staged their own rally in the tenth, taking a 6-3 lead on three-run homer by Erich Holland. McClurg then loaded the bases with no outs, prompting head coach, Jeff Forehand to call on Burnett for the second time that day. In 1.2 innings of work, McClurg gave up five runs on seven hits.
Burnett limited the damage for the Bisons, allowing only one inherited runner to score on an RBI groundout.
McClurg received the loss in the 7-3 defeat to drop his record to 4-2.
The Bisons are back in action tomorrow, Sunday, May 13, when they take on Stetson in the series final at one p.m
