Hello children. This is Foxxy Lady Tina coming to you today. That Beyonceitis boy needed a break. He's still dealing with his broken heart. I have a little sympathy for him but not much. Miss Tina has never been the type of gal to cry over lost penis. He shoulda called me because I have a spell that will have a man on you like cheese on grits.
Here's what you do:
1. You get some of the man's hair.
2. Put it in a Dereon Prayer Cloth (available at Wal-Mart).
3. Put 3 drops of Armani Diamonds on it.
4. Hold it in your left hand.
5. Say "Love, sex, magic, act bad, talk dirty, look sexy, don't hurt me".
6. Say the man's name 3 times.
7. And then say "Get Me Bodied".
I guaran-fuckin-tee you that if you do that then you can pull any man you want.
Today I have come to you to talk about the BET Awards. First of all the rumors about Beyonce, LeToya, and the BET Awards are NOT true. Beyonce ain't gotta keep nobody off no damn award show. On stage she'll eat all of you bitches up, spit you out, and then have Ne-Yo write a song about it. Secondly, BET doesn't even have the number to the Checker's where LeToya works to get in touch with her to ask her to perform. Lastly, random ass broads just can't jump on award shows because they have an album coming out. These award show producers have a list of hot artists they would want to perform on their show based on who would give them the highest ratings. The list is in order of relevance.
Here's that list:
1. Beyonce
2. Beyonce
3. Beyonce
4. Beyonce
5. Beyonce
If Beyonce is sick you call Alicia Keys. If she's sick I guess you would have to call that Caribbean She-Beast. If she's sick or swollen then you would call Keri Hilson. If she's on vocal rest or something then you would call Ciara. If she pulled a groin muscle and can't make it then you call Ashanti. And so forth and so on. BET would have to scroll all the way down that list to get to LeToya Luckett's name and that's ONLY if Vesta, CeCe Peniston, and Cheryl "Pepsii" Reily are all sick or unable to catch a Greyhound to get to the BET Awards.
I'm tried of you delusional pressed ass stans of these minor-ass artists. If you had any appreciation of what real diva is we wouldn't have to go through this foolishness every year.
But I digress...
Today I'm I come with you with low spirits and high blood pressure. The producers over at BET just faxed me over the seating chart for the BET Awards, and I am pissed.
Take a look for yourself:
First of all as you notice the Knowles will not be seated in the crowd with the common folk. We will be seated on stage in the area of the stage generally used to present awards. The only awards that will be presented on camera will be the ones that Beyonce is nominated for, the other awards will be given away in the parking lot before the show.
Also when Beyonce's name is announced she will not get up to accept the award. Keri Hilson is going to bring her trophy over to her and kiss her feet, and I dare her to say something about it. I'll bust her in the head. After this year, BET is also renaming the Best R&B Female Artist award the "Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter Award for Best R&B Female Artist" and the winner will get a statue of Beyonce bent over with her cheeks spread apart so that every time somebody wina they will have to kiss her ass.
My homegirls
Solange will be seated on the 2nd row with her son. I will be seated with my new fiancé and Beyonce's future stepdaddy Trey Songz. We've been dating off and on for about 6 months, and he is sweet, kind, and has a very strong back for such a narrow-assed boy.
Beyonce will be performing 4 times at the BET Awards. She's opening the show at 8:00, again at 9:00PM, 10:00PM and closing the show at 11:00PM. Matthew has negotiated one of his famous 2-for-1 deals to save Solange from having to park cars and escort people to their seats. He said he will convince Beyonce to perform if they let Solange perform. Beyonce and Solange will duet during the gospel segment of the show. The will sing a medley of gospel classics which will also serve as the perfect promotion for the new Dereon Choir Robes coming this Fall. I asked the people at BET to build a runway so that Beyonce and Solange can anoint people in the audience while doing the Naomi Campbell walk.
But while their eyes are on the sparrow, my hand will be on my pistol waiting for some shit to jump off. As you can see for reasons that I don't understand Jay will be sitting beside Rihanna. Beyonce told me not to worry since Rihanna is "family" but that broad ain't never brought a lick of potato salad to any of my family reunions. I really wish Jay would stay out of other people's domestic problems. I understand the need to play Captain Save-A-Hoe, but flying off to Hawaii and going to dinner with broads while your wife is out of the country just ain't right to me.
I need somebody to keep an eye on Jay while I'm backstage helping with the wardrobe. Alicia Keys volunteered to keep an eye on Jay and Rihanna but trusting Alicia Keys to keep an eye on your husband is like trusting a crackhead not to steal your purse and your DVD player.
I asked Chris Brown to reconcile with Rihanna so that she won't be on stage with us. Me and Chris Brown used to engage in sexual eruption a while ago. And if you think I won't get down with a 17/18 year old then somebody done told you wrong. I'll will go down to first lunch at Booker T. High School, George Washington High School, Chaka Khan High School, or whoever's high school and round up about 6 or 7 of them mofos. Ain't no shame 'cause I gotta get mine. I swing my hair and kick off my shoes. Come here boy let me work on you!
But, again, I digress.
Me and Chris have remained friends even though
Me: Look Chris, you need to make up with Rihanna I don't like her hanging around Jay like this. Now I hate to sound like a paranoid Beyonce stan but this just don't look right. That's how chicks get pistol-whipped, running around with married menfolk.
Chris: But Tina, she broke my heart!
Me: NIGGA YOU BROKE HER NOSE!
Chris: But Tina!
Me: Stop all that whining and call her and make up. Y'all can sing "Fire and Desire" and everything will be fine.
We went back and forth for about an hour and still reached no resolution. I started to call Jay and talk to him about it but me and him are not on the best terms. Jay has been doing things over the last few
1. Mentoring and marketing a girl to be in direct competition with your wife.
2. Granting an interview with a blog that regularly posts unconfirmed stories and outright lies about your wife.
3. Going on tour with a female who has been slinging shade at your wife.
He says this is "just business". But he is really starting to overcook my ham hocks. This year at the BET Awards Jay should just perform with an all-female band of Beyonce-hating btiches. KeKe Wyatt can sing lead since she sings better than every damn body. Miss Jones can sing back-up. Sandra Rose's monkey ass can be on drums, and when Natasha asks him why he associates with people who are disrespectful to his wife, he can say "It's just business".
Let's look at it another way. What if Beyonce toured with Jim Jones as her opening act? They are on the same record label. It would be "just business".
This isn't some junior high school bullshit where you have to hate somebody just because I hate them, but I was raised to believe to be good to those who are good to you. So therefore I don't understand why you would help promote people who try to degrade your wife and her business.
But that's just my opinion.
What do you think?

There have been several confirmed cases of pertussis, or whooping cough, in Seward. A total of 210 cases have been recorded across Alaska this year. This is a marked increase from 2011 when only 24 cases were reported.
If you, or your children, have not been vaccinated against pertussis (usually in the diptheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis or DTaP vaccine) it is highly recommended that you do so. If you have any questions, suspect you or your child might have pertussis, or would like to be vaccinated, please contact your health care provider or the State Public Health Department.
The following informational article is from the National Institute of Health.
Last reviewed: August 2, 2011.
Pertussis is a highly contagious bacterial disease that causes uncontrollable, violent coughing. The coughing can make it hard to breathe. A deep "whooping" sound is often heard when the patient tries to take a breath.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Pertussis, or whooping cough, is an upper respiratory infection caused by the Bordetella pertussis or Bordetella parapertussis bacteria. It is a serious disease that can cause permanent disability in infants, and even death.
When an infected person sneezes or coughs, tiny droplets containing the bacteria move through the air, and the disease is easily spread from person to person.
The infection usually lasts 6 weeks.
Whooping cough can affect people of any age. Before vaccines were widely available, the disease was most common in infants and young children. Now that most children are immunized before entering school, the higher percentage of cases is seen among adolescents and adults.
Initial symptoms, similar to the common cold, usually develop about a week after exposure to the bacteria.
Severe episodes of coughing start about 10 to 12 days later. In children, the coughing often ends with a "whoop" noise. The sound is produced when the patient tries to take a breath. The whoop noise is rare in patients under 6 months of age and in adults.
Coughing spells may lead to vomiting or a short loss of consciousness. Pertussis should always be considered when vomiting occurs with coughing. In infants, choking spells are common.
Other pertussis symptoms include:
- Runny nose
- Slight fever (102 °F or lower)
- Diarrhea
Signs and tests
The initial diagnosis is usually based on the symptoms. However, when the symptoms are not obvious, pertussis may be difficult to diagnose. In very young infants, the symptoms may be caused by pneumonia instead.
To know for sure, the health care provider may take a sample of mucus from the nasal secretions and send it to a lab, which tests it for pertussis. While this can offer an accurate diagnosis, the test takes some time, and treatment is usually started before the results are ready.
Some patients may have a complete blood count that shows large numbers of lymphocytes.
If started early enough, antibiotics such as erythromycin can make the symptoms go away more quickly. Unfortunately, most patients are diagnosed too late, when antibiotics aren't very effective. However, the medicines can help reduce the patient's ability to spread the disease to others.
Infants younger than 18 months need constant supervision because their breathing may temporarily stop during coughing spells. Infants with severe cases should be hospitalized.
An oxygen tent with high humidity may be used.
Fluids may be given through a vein if coughing spells are severe enough to prevent the person from drinking enough fluids.
Sedatives (medicines to make you sleepy) may be prescribed for young children.
Cough mixtures, expectorants, and suppressants are usually not helpful and should NOT be used.
Expectations (prognosis)
In older children, the outlook is generally very good. Infants have the highest risk of death, and need careful monitoring.
- Pneumonia
- Convulsions
- Seizure disorder (permanent)
- Nose bleeds
- Ear infections
- Brain damage from lack of oxygen
- Bleeding in the brain (cerebral hemorrhage)
- Mental retardation
- Slowed or stopped breathing (apnea)
- Death
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you or your child develops symptoms of pertussis.
Call 911 or get to an emergency room if the person has any of the following symptoms:
- Bluish skin color, which indicates a lack of oxygen
- Periods of stopped breathing (apnea)
- Seizures or convulsions
- High fever
- Persistent vomiting
- Dehydration
DTaP vaccination, one of the recommended childhood immunizations, protects children against pertussis infection. DTaP vaccine can be safely given to infants. Five DTaP vaccines are recommended. They are usually given to children at ages 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15-18 months, and 4-6 years.
The Tdap vaccine should be given around age 11 or 12, and every 10 years thereafter.
During a pertussis outbreak, unimmunized children under age 7 should not attend school or public gatherings, and should be isolated from anyone known or suspected to be infected. This should last until 14 days after the last reported case.
Many health care organizations strongly recommend that adults up to the age of 65 years receive the adult form of the vaccine against pertussis.

Participating shops will offer special bargains during normal business hours this weekend for downtown Hendersonville's first Merchants Garage Sale.
Participating shops will offer special bargains during normal business hours this weekend for downtown Hendersonville's first Merchants Garage Sale.
"A garage sale always carries that aura of mystery and potential bargains," said organizer Marie Lachance, owner of Nonesuch House & Home at 234 N. Main St. Merchants are hoping to cash in on that magnetic allure with their own garage sale Friday through Sunday.
More than half of the downtown merchants seem to be participating in the event, Lachance said. The shops will be designated with a classic "Garage Sale" sign and an orange, red and yellow flier, she added. Prices will be slashed to move troubled-sellers out of their inventory.
"It's a promotion to get people interested in shopping downtown and to bring some of our local people to come and see the new shops" available here, she said.
To fight the winter blues and doldrums of a seasonal slowdown, Lachance said she was pondering marketing ploys that would excite people into coming downtown when she thought of a garage sale.
"You always see these little signs on the side of the road for 'Garage Sale' and 'Estate Sale,'" she said, "and you've got to go look."
Lechance decided to harness that pull to stimulate interest downtown.
"There are so many new shops, so many fresh ideas here," she said, adding that a lot of locals may not know what they're missing.
If all goes well, she hopes to turn the garage sale into an annual event.
"We all have little things that may not sell as quickly as we like them to," she said, adding this will give merchants a chance to move that stubborn merchandise and "offer people an opportunity to score a bargain.
"Come see what we have. Come see what we do," she added. "We're your friends and neighbors."
Shops are typically open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

AdaCGI makes it easier to create Ada95 programs that can be invoked by World Wide Web (WWW) HTTP servers using the standard CGI interface. Using it, you can create Web applications using Ada95 to perform queries or other processing by request from a WWW user.
Clarrhmos is a description language and simulator for myocardial structure and electrophysiology. Input to the program is a model file specifying types of cells, action potential shape, refractory period, 3D placement of the cells, relation of parameters to other functions, pacing, electrode placement. Output is a file describing depolarisation and repolarisation of the myocardium and electrograms. A graphic tool for interactive inspection of the output file is also included.
The GRASP Project has created an algorithmic-level graphical representation for software called the Control Structure Diagram (CSD). The CSD was created to improve the comprehension efficiency of Ada source code and, as a result, improve software reliability and reduce software costs. Since its creation, the CSD has been expanded and adapted to include other languages. GRASP provides the capability to generate CSD's from Ada 95, C, C++, Java, and VHDL source code in both a reverse and forward engineering mode with a level of flexibility suitable for professional application. GRASP has been integrated with the GNU family of compilers for Ada (GNAT) and C (gcc), and Sun's javac compiler for Java. Use of GRASP is not restricted to these compilers, however. This has resulted in a comprehensive graphically-based development environment for these languages. The user may view, edit, print, and compile source code as CSDs with no discernible addition to storage or computational overhead.

Latest revision as of 10:13, 12 August 2005
Doggerel plague "swept" through parts of Ghyll in -11 EC, originating somewhere south of Iganefta, and moving northwards through Folktown, Sejfield, Cranee, and the southern parts of the Evesque Valley. Whereas others use "swept" to describe the migration of the phenomenon, I prefer the more generous words of Baron Smallwood, suspected creator zero (which he continually and steadfastly denies):
Did indeed I travel to the cactus forests in -12 EC.
Did indeed my journalistic screeds suggest death was afoot.
But mustn't believe I, of delicious vintage (imbibe my good sir!),
would threaten the very public I intoxicate! For a dance and a lilt
the doggerel it spread, but a winedrinker not, those who are dead!
This "dance and lilt" of which the Baron speaks is one of the most curious of the plague's disabilities: upon infection, it slowly eats away at a person's logic, awareness, and oftentimes, flesh. The resultant victim mumbles incoherently and lyrically about anything in particular: the dirt between their toes, the distance between themselves and the last body part they lost, or the perkiness of Pinky:
Perkiness Pinky and its alluring aloof!
Pink as a mandible and suitably uncouth!
Questionably large and nastily overbearing!
Nipple! Nipple! Nipple!
After the infection rate reached its peak, a curious trend emerged: those involved in its research seemed most likely to contract the disease, even with their advanced methods of patient containment. This proved very useful when its corollary was observed: those who drank themselves into unconsciousness, fell asleep immediately after a long day of concentrated work, or stayed indoors and tended to children, were the least susceptible, even though they lived and worked in the "public world", hidden not behind doors and walls of research integrity.
Doggerel plague therefore was largely "cured" by the first public and coordinated attempt at deliberate ignorance: by failing to listen to the doggerel pouring from the maws of the diseased, members of the at-risk population could protect themselves, and consequently infection rates dropped. This calamity turned out to be one of acceptance, not infection: only willing and, more importantly, attentive hosts could succumb. Pleased with their skill of ignorance, Ghyllians tried again by creating the massive and wide-ranging Conflict That Is Not Happening, although their dogged perseverance has not been as successful here.
Astutely ignored, plague victims slowly disappeared throughout the known regions of Ghyll, and ignorance strengthened naturally: few needed to feign it come -9 EC. Cautious memories have only recently been recalled with the recent discovery in -2 EC that carriers were endemic to the town of Egron, seemingly living as "normal" a life as possible. Hindsight breeds understanding: this clearly explains the debacle of the -3 EC Bindlet Ball season of the Egron Eagles, not "masterful strategy" as one coach lamented.
"Normal" life in Egron doesn't consist of much: shambling to and fro, conceptual art based on the limbs of the lost, choruses of madness with no rhyme or reason, wheelbarrow races over flower gardens (an odd attempt at inter-species pollination), and what appears to be preservation: numerous infected have seen fit to write down their insanities, crafting a book not of the occult, but of oddities oppressed. It is currently unknown if any sane soul remains in Egron, or whether writing is a sufficient method of propulgation.
Besides those wandering the streets entertaining the like-minded, you can always find a good assortment of victims at the "One Arm Minimum", a bar that disallows anyone without the ability to hold a drink (although how an infected person actually pays for a drink is also unknown... some suspect a particularly inventive string of un-verse is payment enough). Another quirk is audible should a patron speak in Modern Standard Ghyllian: an immediate cacophony of "NO MSG ADDED!" arises which lasts for hours, long after the offender has left.
This latest evidence seems to contradict Baron Smallwood's claims that the dead drink no wine: although it has always been apparent that plague victims were not dead, merely apt to abdicate an appendage, it is now known that they do, in fact, drink spirits in wild abandon, heightening the disparity of their dialogue. Whispered rumors suggest the Baron had found a dying people in the cactus forests of -12 EC and, through alchemy, recreated the language in an attempt to study it and its effect more thoroughly. If his creation happened to ingest large quantities of his primary export, "did indeed" a happy side-effect indulge. The Baron has not yet responded to these latest allegations.

A parathyroid tumor is a growth inside a parathyroid gland. The parathyroid glands are four small glands located in the neck near the thyroid gland. They are part of the endocrine system that regulates hormones in the body. The parathyroid glands make parathyroid hormone that regulates the levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. Parathyroid tumors may cause increased levels of parathyroid hormones, leading to increased levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia). Most parathyroid tumors are benign (noncancerous) adenomas. Cancers of the parathyroid are very rare.
If the parathyroid tumor causes symptoms, they may include:
The symptoms of a parathyroid tumor may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
Surgery is the main treatment for parathyroid tumors. Radiation therapy and medicines that lower calcium levels in the blood may be needed as well. In some situations, chemotherapy may be recommended.

I've been more than a little obsessed with finding the "perfect" desk chair. As I pin away looking for workspace inspiration I'm constantly asking myself "could I see myself sitting in that chair?" Because everyone knows, a modern chair is the key to any stylish home office.
That's why I decided to pick my favorite office chairs I'd put in my very own workspace. These three options will have you inspired while you're working.

Palm Springs Modernism Week takes the SoCal desert by storm every February. To take a break from this snow-bird's roster of design events, tours and exhibitions (as well as endless unsanctioned parties and pop-ups), consider losing yourself just outside of town in the desert sun at the Hotel Lautner.
Formerly the iconic Desert Hot Springs Motel, this famed John Lautner property was recently purchased and renovated by Los Angeles based interior designer Tracy Beckmann of Tracy Beckman Design and furniture designer Ryan Trowbridge of Brown + Trowbridge. Although Beckmann has been making a name for herself for her slick, glammed-up commercial and hospitality spaces, Hotel Lautner is more of an exercise in Modernist provenance, showcasing the designer's love for Mid-Century design.
This is Madmen gone wild West. Interiors are true to the period with the "Bachelor Pad" room (pictured below) sporty a smoky, low-slung vibe.
Each room comes with a kitchenette, perfect for mixing a twilight martini. Period ceramics and art dot each of the rooms. We like how ceramic and painted table lamps throughout give each space an authentic vintage feel too.
Taken all together, this beautiful retreat is hard to leave. Comfortable rooms, a wading pool, BBQ pits, and the experience (if for a day) of living in a Lautner? You can count us in again next February. In the meantime, we'll be re-creating the place at home.

We all know that when decorating a room, the cheapest way to change the look is through accessories. You can add color, texture and even pattern by adding a few modern pillows. Pillows can instantly make a sofa feel warmer, add color to a chair and create a pretty haven in a bedroom. And being one of the least expensive elements in a room, you will spend way less than replacing a piece of furniture.
The modern sofa (above) would have looked a little lonely without those awesome patterned pillows.
I love how the designer of this room (above) picked up the color palette from the rug and added that palette to the pillows on this sofa. It looks playful and fun yet still feels sophisticated. The mix of patterns also creates an extra cool look.
This leather sofa (above) is already a fantastic piece without any help. These two pillows add a little bit of dimension and depth to this cozy, masculine room. They also helped maintain the monochromatic palette, which creates a very mature space.
If you're tired of your bedding, switch out your shams and add a few new throw pillows. You'll feel like you got a new bed set! When deciding on how many pillows you should display on a bed, don't go overboard. Display a few pillows that add that "wow" factor.
Here are a few pillows that would add greatness to any room.
Infinity Black Multilines 18" Square Down Throw Pillow
Surya 18" Square Cumin Yellow Throw Pillow
Shock 20" Square Blue and Beige Stripe Throw Pillow
Mirabelle Sky Blue Burst Set of 2 Safavieh Accent Pillows
Infinity Metallic Silver Links 18" Square Down Throw Pillow

Decorating for a kids doesn't mean you have to throw style out the door. I find that adding a few stylish anchor pieces, that work for any age, is the best way to achieve stylish design in a kids space.
And for me, the best place to start is with lighting. Light fixtures always set the tenor for the room. After all, the pendant light is usually in the center, or the focal point, of the room.
Don't be afraid to think outside of the box. I have been known to use modern lighting, suited for a minimalist-minded grown up, in a nursery that was otherwise quite whimsical. I have also gone the route of using a fancy, unexpected and very shimmery chandelier in the playroom.
The great part about decorating for little ones is that you can mix things up and take creativity a bit further than you might in other rooms of your home.
Another added bonus is that when you use lighting (or any decor piece) that suites your grown up taste, it can easily be moved into another room of the house or simply "grow" with your child into the next stage or room style.
1. Eurofase Bronx Black Pendant Light 2. Possini Euro Design White Flower 3. Dandelion Shade Possini 4. Tech Top Charcoal Gray Drum Shade Suspension Ceiling Light
While I think there are endless options, these four fixtures are a favorite and would work well for both little ones and grown ups alike.

Folio Investing, a division of the online brokerage FOLIOfn Investments, announced Friday that over the five years since they were brought to market, its target date folios have "significantly outperformed" traditional target-date funds.
During the tumultuous five-year period since being created in December 2007, the folios have provided both higher returns and lower volatility than competing funds, the McLean, Va.-based firm said.
Steven Wallman, founder and CEO of Folio, who's also a former SEC commissioner, said in a statement that the performance of the target date folios over the past five years "proves that improved design and better diversification actually do provide tremendous value." Investors "deserve better" than traditional target-date funds, Wallman said.
Folio Investing is currently looking to partner with fund companies that will help distribute its lineup of target date folios, Wallman added. "Target date folios can be offered not only as 'folios', which are unique to the Folio Investing platform, but broadly as collective investment trusts and mutual funds," he said.
Folio Investing listed a comparison of how its target date folios have performed over the past five years compared to traditional target-date funds.
- An investment of $100,000 in the 2025 Moderate Target Date Folio since its inception on Dec. 21, 2007, would have been worth $116,900 at the end of December 2012, while the same investment in the three largest target-date fund families' 2025 target-date funds would be worth an average of only $110,800.
- An investment of $100,000 in the 2045 Moderate Target Date Folio since its inception on Dec. 21, 2007, would have been worth $112,300 at the end of December 2012, while the same investment in the three largest target-date families' 2045 target-date funds of $100,000 would be worth an average of only $106,300.
The Target date folios' outperformance, the company said, can be attributed to the following "design initiatives pioneered and proven valuable" by Folio Investing.
- A broader, more robust diversification strategy. Many target-date funds' returns are, effectively, simply a blend of a U.S. bond index and a U.S. equity index fund, such as the S&P 500. When the stock market is especially volatile, though, such a portfolio is also still volatile. Target date folios include not just U.S. stocks and bonds, but also commodities, REITs, Treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) and other asset classes. Theoretically, the result should be lower volatility and higher returns at any given risk level. And that's what Folio Investing's target date folios have proven over the last five years.
- Greater choice and customization. Target date folios come in conservative, moderate and aggressive risk levels for each target year, and uniquely can be further customized by investors or advisors as they see fit.
- Intelligent risk targeting, not simple asset allocation. Target date folios target specific risk levels over time. By contrast, target-date funds traditionally target specific asset allocations over time. But when market conditions change adversely, clinging to defined asset allocations means investors are exposed to far more risk than expected. Target date folios, instead, use a changing asset allocation as the means to achieving targeted risk levels, as opposed to the asset allocation being the end itself.

Anchor automatically adds curly braces and semicolons to code written in various programming languages, saving typing and making programs easier to read. It lets you pretend to be coding in Python or Lua while actually writing standard C, Java, PHP, C++, .NET, C#, or D. A script may generate files in the target language and invoke the compiler. An example bash script integrates with TCC to make runnable "scripts" with the speed of C. The scripts are easily modified to target another compiler or interpreter.
VRaptor3 is a fully-fledged Java Web framework focused on fast development and maintainable code. It intends to make RESTful application development easy. A resource corresponds to a business logic annotated with its path and HTTP method. It runs inside DI Containers (Spring or Pico out of the box) and, therefore, enables full integration with them. Also, using Hibernate is easier: its session is automatically injected by VRaptor, so you just have to use it. VRaptor3 is refactor-friendly, especially in its redirecting configuration. It is also nicely extensible.
mysql-diff is a commandline database structure comparator. It compares the structure of two databases. It currently works with MySQL. A database can be specified as an SQL script or as an URL to a running database. So the tool can compare two scripts, two live databases, or a database and a script. The tool outputs SQL DDL script that can be used to convert one schema to another.
Clone Digger is a duplicate code detection tool which supports the Python language. It works on the abstract syntax tree level. Discovered clones can differ in small subexpressions; comments and whitespaces are ignored. The report on found clones is written to HTML in a two-column format with the differences highlighted. Clone digger is platform-independent. It has been tested on several open-source projects and the results indicated that about 12% of their code is covered by clones.
CodeLite is a powerful, cross-platform code editor for the C/C++ programming languages. It is regularly tested on Windows XP sp2, (K)Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04, Fedora Core 6, Debian lenny and sid, and Mac OS X 10.5.2. CodeLite uses a sophisticated, yet intuitive interface which allows the user to easily create and build complex projects.

PhpPeanuts is a framework for developing database-backed applications in PHP. Rather than building an application from the bottom up, you initially only build domain model classes in which you specify properties, relationships, and database table names in metadata. The framework dynamically scaffolds getters and setters, persistency, navigation over relations, and input and delete validation. The abstract user interface instantly offers a rich set of pages for searching, browsing, drilling down, editing and reporting over your domain model. From there on you extend and refine both the domain model and the user interface to make it what you want by defining specialization classes and overriding inherited methods.
Hibernate Spatial is an extension to the Hibernate Java ORM library for handling geographic data. Hibernate Spatial allows you to deal with geographic data in a standardized way. It abstracts away from the specific way your database supports geographic data, and provides a standardized, cross-database interface to geographic data storage and query functions. Hibernate Spatial supports most of the functions of the OGC Simple Feature Specification. Currently, Oracle 10g/11g, Postgresql/Postgis, MySQL, and MS SQL Server 2008 are supported.
DataNucleus AccessPlatform is a standards-compliant Java persistence product. It is fully compliant with the JDO1, JDO2, JDO2.1, JDO2.2, JDO3, JPA1, JPA2 and JPA2.1 Java standards, and provides a REST API. It complies with the OGC Simple Feature Spec for persistence of geospatial Java types. It allows access to all popular RDBMS available today, together with the MongoDB, LDAP, NeoDatis, JSON, Excel/ODF spreadsheets, XML, BigTable, HBase, and Neo4j databases.
Butterfly Persistence is a simple, no nonsense Java persistence API. It aims to provide a simple relational persistence API. Its features include automatic/manual connection management, easier JDBC operations via JDBC templates (Spring style), simple object relational mapping, and map reading for dynamic queries. It provides a simple and pragmatic approach to persistence and will either help you, or get out of the way and let you do the job manually.
DooPHP is a very fast PHP framework. It enables developers at all levels to rapidly develop robust Web 2.0 applications. It is quite feature rich. DooPHP supports some common stuff found in a Web framework, such as an MVC-base structure, RESTful APIS, a REST client, URI routing, database ORM tools, a model generator, HTTP Digest Authentication, a flexbible compiling template engine, logging and profiling tools, and more.

After growing up in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Monterey Institute student Wesley Laine (MAIPS '14) knows from experience what it is like to go without one of the most basic human needs -- access to clean water. Two years ago he started a project in the South East Department of Haiti to install gravity-fed water chlorination systems using a simple device. "I really wanted to do something about the cholera crisis in Haiti," says Wesley. "The fact that it is now helping over 360,000 people means everything to me."
In September, Wesley was flown to New York to speak at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Annual Meeting; he arrived in New York from Paris, where he is studying during the fall semester at one of the Middlebury Schools Abroad as part of his program in International Policy Studies at MIIS. In his presentation about the Southeast Water Project, Wesley noted that the simple chlorination system has no moving parts and that a part of the project was to build local buy-in as well as training. He also noted that there are now "hardly any cases of cholera in the South East Department of Haiti."
Wesley will be back in Monterey to complete his studies in the spring semester but he is making the most of his time in Paris, taking writing courses in French and a course on French politics, as well as studying international economics, macroeconomic analysis, and law. You can watch Wesley's presentation in the "Expanding Cross-Sector Coordination in Haiti" session of the CGI annual meeting that included Laurent Lamont, Prime Minister of the Republic of Haiti and the actor and activist Sean Penn.

TORONTO — Major Jewish community organizations united in praising the launch of the federal government's new Office of Religious Freedoms.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper officially inaugurated the office – it was first conceived in 2011 – on Feb. 19, with an announcement in Maple, Ont., at the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at mosque.
The office will operate under the auspices of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade and has a $5-million annual operating budget.
Harper appointed Andrew Bennett, 40, a practising Catholic, academic and dean of Augustine College in Ottawa as the office's first "ambassador."
According to the government, the office will "promote freedom of religion and belief, consistent with core Canadian values such as freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law" both domestically and worldwide.
It will also "support programming aimed at raising greater awareness of threats to religious freedom and by promoting pluralism."
Harper praised Bennett as a "man of principle and deep convictions" who will promote Canadian values wherever he speaks.
"In Iran, Baha'is and Christians face harassment, imprisonment, and, in some cases, death. In Pakistan, Ahmadiyya Muslims, Shiites Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, and Hindus are vulnerable to persecution and violence. In China, Christians who worship outside government-approved boundaries are driven underground and their leaders are arrested and detained while Uyghur Muslims, Tibetan Buddhists, and Falun Gong practitioners are subjected to repression and intimidation," Harper said.
"Elsewhere we watch in horror as sanctuaries are destroyed and believers are attacked and in some cases slaughtered, Shia Muslim pilgrims in Iraq, Coptic Christian adherents in Egypt, Christians at worship in Nigeria – the list, appallingly, goes on and on. In the face of these injustices and atrocities, Canada will not be silent."
The Jewish community was quick to laud the establishment of the office, with the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), B'nai Brith Canada and Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center Canada (FSWC) all issuing statements within hours of the prime minister's pronouncement.
CIJA chair David Koschitzky, commended the government for the initiative, saying the office is "in keeping with Canada's best traditions of advancing human rights" internationally.
"As history has painfully shown, a given country's treatment of religious minorities is a barometer of its human rights record as a whole," he said. "We look forward to working with the new Office of Religious Freedom and Canadians of all backgrounds in support of this urgent and noble cause."
Frank Dimant, CEO of B'nai Brith Canada, said the office is a "positive step forward" for freedom.
"When you protect the rights of religious minorities, you make real strides towards protection of the rights of all."
Avi Benlolo, president and CEO of the FSWC, also lauded the new office and Bennett's appointment, saying his group is "proud" to support the initiative.
Speaking to reporters on a Feb. 21 conference call, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney said Bennett will soon assemble an advisory board that will include Jews and representatives of other faith groups.
The CJN asked Kenney whether his ministry would be monitoring reports and recommendations by Bennett to reconsider countries on Ottawa's new list of democratic of countries don't typically produce refugees if conditions in those countries change. He replied that there are already mechanisms in place for that purpose, but he believes Bennett's office could play a role in providing more information for such decisions.

Drum, Red
Red Drum is large fish, growing up to 1.5 m (5 ft) in length, found in the western Atlantic, including the Gulf of Mexico, from the central U.S. to northern Mexico. They are long-lived, but become sexually mature at a relatively early age.
Commercial fishing for Red Drum is prohibited in federal and most state waters, with major fisheries only occurring in North Carolina and Mississippi state waters. Many Red Drum are taken by recreational fishermen throughout its range. Commercial and recreational fisheries primarily target juvenile Red Drum, so they are managed using size and catch limits to ensure enough juveniles escape the fishery and survive to reproduce.
The abundance of juvenile Red Drum has increased from low levels in the 1980s/1990s, and is now at a medium level throughout much of its range. The abundance of adult Red Drum is unknown. Most commercially caught Red Drum are captured with bottom gillnets, which cause moderate habitat damage and frequently catch endangered sea turtles. Some Red Drum are also caught with hook and line, which results in minimal habitat damage and likely low bycatch.

LibBi is used for state-space modelling and Bayesian inference on high-performance computer hardware, including multi-core CPUs, many-core GPUs (graphics processing units), and distributed-memory clusters. The staple methods of LibBi are based on sequential Monte Carlo (SMC), also known as particle filtering. These methods include particle Markov chain Monte Carlo (PMCMC) and SMC2. Other methods include the extended Kalman filter and some parameter optimization routines. LibBi consists of a C++ template library and a parser and compiler, written in Perl, for its own modelling language.
GPUMarkerTracker is a tracking software library for AR (augmented reality) markers. It utilizes GPGPU for fast and accurate tracking. It is intended for detecting markers from an HD resolution image so that small markers placed far from the camera can be detected. Each marker has a 12-bit payload with 9-bit CRC. The library does not produce false-positive detection errors of markers, practically.
Wisecracker is a high performance distributed cryptanalysis framework that leverages GPUs and multiple CPUs. It allows security researchers to write their own cryptanalysis tools that can distribute brute-force cryptanalysis work across multiple systems with multiple multi-core processors and GPUs. Security researchers can also use the sample tools provided out-of-the-box. The differentiating aspect of Wisecracker is that it uses OpenCL and MPI together to distribute the work across multiple systems, each having multiple CPUs and/or GPUs.
Pyrit takes a step ahead in attacking WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK, the protocols that protect today's public WiFi-airspace. Pyrit's implementation allows you to create massive databases, pre-computing part of the WPA/WPA2-PSK authentication phase in a space-time-tradeoff. The performance gain for real-world-attacks is in the range of three orders of magnitude, which urges for re-consideration of the protocol's security. It exploits the computational power of multiple cores and other platforms through ATI-Stream, Nvidia CUDA, OpenCL, and VIA Padlock. It is a powerful attack against one of the world's most used security-protocols.

(Stereotactic radiosurgery, Gamma Knife surgery)
Gamma Knife radiosurgery, also called stereotactic radiosurgery, is a very precise form of therapeutic radiology. Even though it is called surgery, a Gamma Knife procedure does not involve actual surgery, nor is the Gamma Knife really a knife at all. It uses beams of highly-focused gamma rays to treat small- to medium-size lesions, usually in the brain. Many beams of gamma radiation join to focus on the lesion under treatment, providing a very intense dose of radiation without a surgical incision or opening.
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is called "surgery" because the end result is very similar to physically removing the lesion with surgery. The beams of radiation are very precisely focused to reach the tumor, lesion, or other area being treated with minimal effect on surrounding healthy tissue.
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is most often used to treat small and medium tumors and other lesions in the brain. It is also used to treat certain neurological conditions, such as trigeminal neuralgia (a condition in which pressure on the trigeminal nerve causes spasms of extreme facial pain) and acoustic neuroma (a noncancerous tumor in the brain that affects the nerves that control hearing).
Gamma Knife radiosurgery may be used in situations where the brain lesion cannot be reached by conventional surgical techniques. It may also be used in persons whose condition is such that they might not be able to tolerate a surgical procedure, such as craniotomy, to treat their condition.
Because the therapeutic effects of a Gamma Knife procedure occur rather slowly over time, it is not used for persons whose condition requires more immediate therapy.
Radiosurgery works in the same manner as other types of therapeutic radiology: it distorts or destroys the DNA of tumor cells, causing them to be unable to reproduce and grow. The tumor will shrink in size over time. For blood vessel lesions such as an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), the blood vessels eventually close off after treatment.
Gamma Knife treatment generally involves these steps:
A Gamma Knife procedure involves a treatment team approach. The treatment team generally includes a radiation oncologist (a physician specializing in radiation treatment for cancer), a neurosurgeon and/or a neuroradiologist, a radiation therapist, and a registered nurse. In addition, a medical physicist and a dosimetrist work together to calculate the precise number of exposures and beam placement necessary to obtain the radiation dose that is prescribed by the radiation oncologist. Your treatment team may include other healthcare professionals in addition to or in place of those listed here.
The Gamma Knife system is one of three types of radiosurgery systems. Gamma Knife systems are cobalt 60 systems, which means they use cobalt as a source for gamma rays. During Gamma Knife treatment, the equipment remains stationary (does not move).
Two other types of radiosurgery are:
Gamma Knife radiosurgery may be used to treat certain conditions of the brain in particular instances. Brain conditions that may be treated with a Gamma Knife procedure include, but are not limited to, the following:
Gamma Knife radiosurgery has shown some promise for treating conditions such as tremor and rigidity related to Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and chronic pain.
There may be other reasons for your physician to recommend Gamma Knife radiosurgery.
If you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant, you should notify your physician. Radiation exposure during pregnancy may lead to birth defects.
Other risks may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Some risks and side effects may be related to the location and size of the area being treated by the Gamma Knife procedure. These may include:
There may be other risks depending upon your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your physician prior to the procedure.
A Gamma Knife procedure may be performed on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in a hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your physician's practices.
Generally, a Gamma Knife procedure follows this process:
After the procedure, you will be observed for a period of time. If your brain imaging prior to the Gamma Knife procedure was a cerebral angiogram, you will need to lie still with the affected leg straight for a few hours until the catheter insertion site in the groin is no longer bleeding.
Once you are able to take liquids by mouth, the IV line will be removed. You may take liquids and solid foods as tolerated.
You may feel some discomfort after the procedure, such as a headache or nausea. Let your nurse know if you are uncomfortable, so that you may be given medication and/or other treatment.
The Gamma Knife procedure is generally performed on an outpatient basis, so you most likely will be allowed to go home at the end of the day. You will need to have someone drive you home, however. If necessary, you may be admitted to the hospital for overnight observation.
Once you are home, you may resume your normal diet, medications, and activities, unless your physician instructs you differently. You may be instructed to avoid strenuous activity, such as exercise, for a period of time.
You will most likely be allowed to gently shampoo your hair the day after the procedure. You should not scrub the pin sites on your head, however, until they have completed healed, generally within a week or so.
Call your physician to report any of the following:
Your physician may give you additional or alternate instructions after the procedure, depending on your particular situation.

Election officials are asking for the public's help in cleaning up Henderson County's voter rolls.
Election officials are asking for the public's help in cleaning up Henderson County's voter rolls.
On Friday, the county Board of Elections sent out 12,000 postcards to voters it has not heard from in the past two years, mailed to their last known addresses.
"We want to be able to identify those voters who have moved or are no longer living in the county," said Beverly Cunningham, director of the board of elections. She urged residents who receive a card to return it, regardless of whether they are the voter in question.
"All they've got to do is mark, 'Return – voter not at this address,'" she said. "It costs them nothing. If they just throw it in the trash, we have to assume by law that the voter received that card."
Once election officials receive the returned card, they will go through a second mailing that allows the Board of Elections to get a forwarding address for the missing voter from the U.S. Postal Service.
The state requires local election boards to go through the process of declaring voters inactive after two years of no contact, Cunningham said. She said voters become inactive for a number of reasons.
"A lot of people move to other states and never notify us that they've moved, or they move to another county," Cunningham said. "Or the person may pass away somewhere else, and we're not notified."
If a voter dies in Henderson County, the Board of Elections is notified by the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services or the county's Register of Deeds, where death certificates are recorded.
"But if an individual moves to Arizona to live with their son and dies there, we may not be notified that they passed away," Cunningham said.
Once a voter is declared inactive, that person still remains on the voter rolls until two federal election cycles have passed with no voting. A voter can reactivate himself by filling out a voter registration form with his current address and information, Cunningham said.
Henderson County had 79,541 voters registered as of Friday, with 32,108 registered Republicans, 19,021 Democrats and 230 Libertarians. About 28,180 county voters are unaffiliated.

Quote:Awesome review, DG! Have to check it out! Hope the game is not too scripted.
Quote:I like that last pic with the almost roboty looking guy. We're not going to put a swastika on him as that could be offensive but we've come up with a new wacky symbol that looks like a weird hybrid of the swastika and a biohazard symbol that definitely CONVEYS the idea of creepy Nazis.
Quote:Yeah, Tower Madness is truly an unsung TD when people are asked to list their favorites, but it really deserves more recognition. I really enjoy it, it's challenging, the graphics are fun, and it has awesome online features no other TD has. The downloadable maps and ability to view replays of the tops scores is absolutely great.
Quote:I haven't even been able to finish their newest map, Giza
