Bomb Jack
Anyone who lived through the 1980s 8-bit era will certainly remember this game. Featuring exotic backdrops, this fast-paced platformer had the player in a panic as he/she desperately tried to defuse bombs - hopefully in the correct sequence! This is a great choice of T-shirt for 80s gaming geeks.
Duck Hunt
This classic shooter game was first released for the NES video game console in the mid 80s. As the title of the game suggested, the idea was simple - shoot ducks with your light gun (Nes Zapper). A Duck Hunt T-shirt would make a lovely gift for Nintendo retro gaming fans.

E.T. The Video Game
This is widely regarded as one of the worst video games ever made and it was also one of the biggest commercial failures in the history of video gaming, causing heavy financial losses for Atari.
This T-shirt features the E.T game character and would be great fun to wear at a retro gaming event.
Available from;
Joust was a classic arcade platform game (1982) in which you controlled a knight flying on an ostrich. It's not quite as well known as some of the iconic games featured here, but the T-shirt has a more geeky appeal that will allow you to celebrate the golden days of gaming once more.

Released into the arcades by Atari in 1972, Pong was the first commercially successful video game, and helped to launch the home video games market.

This quirky-looking, trumpet-nosed character first hit the arcades in 1982. The game was pretty unique at the time, featuring isometric graphics that gave a pseudo-3D look. It was quickly ported to 8-bit home computers, and I certainly remember playing this one on my Atari 800XL, and it was all too easy to jump the wrong way.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Politicians love to talk about the importance of education. In Illinois, legislators go a step further and personally award scholarships to state universities — sometimes to friends, donors and political allies.
For a century, each Illinois legislator has had the power to hand out a few scholarships every year without regard to students' needs or qualifications, which fit comfortably in the state's tradition of favors for people with connections. In recent years, a state lawmaker helped a political backer's four children with $94,000 worth of tuition waivers. Another gave a scholarship to the son of a Chicago alderman. Federal investigators are also looking into cases of recipients with suspicious addresses.
Now, after the failure of repeated efforts to end the $13.5 million-a-year program, opponents are making a new push to eliminate the waivers as Illinois officials try again to clean up the state's image after two consecutive governors wound up in prison.
The Illinois House voted last week to get rid of the freebie program; the big question is whether Senate Democrats will allow a vote on what Gov. Pat Quinn calls "political scholarships."
Supporters insist the scholarships are a way to help poor but promising students.
"I just think it's a nice thing we're doing. I really do," said Rep. Monique Davis, a Democrat from Chicago. "Look, there was so-called corruption or whatever in the governor's race, but we still have a governor's office. ... When we start abolishing everything where we find some misdeeds, we might have to close up down here."
Critics contend that if Illinois lawmakers want to help the state's education system, they should support programs that provide aid to needy students. Or they could set up their own foundations and raise money for scholarships.
But picking and choosing which students get a free ride is a bad idea, said Joni Finney, a University of Pennsylvania professor who specializes in college access and affordability.
"I think it's terrible. It is subject to such political corruption," Finney said.
Illinois' program is one of the few of its kind.
Maryland legislators can also award state scholarships, which has led to similar allegations of political deals and favors. Three other states provide for much more limited assistance.
The chief sponsor of the bill to abolish the Illinois waivers, Rep. Fred Crespo, said it's clear some legislators are abusing their power.
"This is not really helping that many students," said Crespo. "This is just a feel-good kind of thing."
It also continues as the state struggles to finance public education. Tuition at Illinois public universities doubled between 1999 and 2009, according to the Institute for Research on Higher Education. About 150,000 eligible students were denied aid last year because the state ran out of money.
The program dates back to 1905. Each of the state's 177 lawmakers is allowed to award two four-year waivers annually, with the colleges absorbing the cost of educating the lucky students. In 2010, 150 lawmakers awarded a total of more than 1,300 such waivers. Lawmakers generally break them up and award eight one-year waivers annually. For years recipients' names were kept secret but that changed after journalists uncovered some of the winners and their political connections.
The tuition perk comes with one rule: Lawmakers are supposed to award the waivers to students who live in their districts. But that rule is often broken.
Last year, a federal grand jury subpoenaed documents related to waivers awarded by Robert Molaro, a Democratic lawmaker who's now a lobbyist. The $94,000 in waivers he gave went to the children of a Molaro supporter who may not have lived in the district.
And the State Board of Education contacted the FBI when it noticed that five apparently unrelated scholarship recipients had all listed the same address — the home of a campaign aide to Democratic Sen. Martin Sandoval of Cicero.
The latest example is the news that state Sen. Annazette Collins, a Chicago Democrat, granted free tuition to five students who mysteriously listed their address as an old Collins family home, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
Scholarship supporters like Davis reject the idea of addressing abuses by letting the State Board of Education decide who gets the tuition waivers in each legislator's district.
"I don't trust them that much. I don't think they'd choose many black kids," Davis said.
Comment on this storyThis year Republicans have increased the political pressure on the program. All Republicans in the Senate and most in the House have stopped awarding scholarships.
Democratic Senate President John Cullerton said Tuesday the issue will get a Senate vote "some time." He supports keeping the program but with restrictions, such as a ban on giving them to children of campaign donors.
Crespo said keeping the program just perpetuates Illinois' reputation for corruption and favoritism.
"If someone votes against this bill, they're enabling unethical behavior. It's as simple as that," Crespo said.

It's my turn to host the neuroscience and psychology blog carnival, Encephalon. This month, my blogger colleagues were busy analyzing fascinating unsolved mysteries in the wide-ranging fields of brain and behavior. So all of you sleuths out there, dust off your magnifying glasses and come exploring with me....
At Providentia, psychologist Romeo Vitelli probes the mysteries surrounding pioneering public health activist Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) in a 2-part series, "The Bedridden Activist." Dr. Vitelli (who for all of you forensic folks escaped Ontario's maximum-security Millbrook Correctional Centre after a 15-year stint) marvels at Nightingale's indefatigable crusade for the poor and downtrodden, despite a debilitating illness that rendered her unable to travel. While discussing the theories of her mysterious illness, Dr. Vitelli also corrects the historical record:
Although Florence Nightingale opposed the Contagious Diseases Act, it was not because she opposed the germ theory of disease (as some critics later argued). Even though germ theory was not taken seriously before Joseph Lister and Louis Pasteur made the theory acceptable, Nightingale actually pioneered the need for sanitation and antiseptic conditions. Her opposition to the legislation that was eventually passed stemmed from the intrusive nature of the Act (including mandatory screening of prostitutes for syphilis and detaining infected women). When the act was passed in 1864, she campaigned for its repeal.
Should a man who takes out a murder contract on his wife and children be held responsible? For most people, the obvious answer is, "Of course!" But for pure determinists, free will is an illusion; no one is responsible for anything.
That doesn't fit well with the assumptions of our criminal and civil court systems. Or does it? As Peter reports in his post on "expertimental free will" at Conscious Entities, an odd thing happens when determinism runs up against moral values. In an experiment in which subjects were told to assume that determinism is correct (meaning people are not responsible for their actions), subjects still assigned responsibility to the man who took out a contract on his family.
Octopuses fascinate scientists. That's partly because they are so different from mammals like us. Not only are their brain regions not arranged to correspond with bodily systems, but their individual arms can control some movement without input from their brain. Over at Cephalove, Mike Lisieski discusses a study on the unsolved mystery of exactly how an octopus's brain uses vision to control ongoing movements. The post is, "The octopus, the maze, and why it matters: behavioral flexibility and sensory-motor integration."
While some researchers study the role of vision in the elusive octopus, others study it in humans. Janet Kwasniak at Thoughts on Thoughts reports on new research into the brains of sightless humans. In "How is the world represented without vision?," she muses on how, given the importance of vision to our species, it is possible to produce a conscious model of the world without it. And how does the brain use the third of the cortex involved with vision when vision is idle? Attempting to solve those mysteries, the researchers used fMRI technology to compare the brains of congenitally blind people, blind people who were once sighted, and sighted and blindfolded sighted individuals.
Here's one that I bet few of my readers have thought much about:
Zen Faulkes at Neurodojo, a biology professor at the University of Texas-Pan American, ponders long-held assumptions about the role of calcium in neuronal functioning. How do you prove the neurons don't use calcium, he wonders? And what do they use instead? These are among the questions addressed in the post, "Neurotransmitter release without calcium."
Daniel Lende at Neuroanthropology is highlighting the intriguing teachings of Robert Sapolsky, a MacArthur Fellow who divides his time between teaching biology and neuroscience at Stanford University and conducting stress research on baboons in Kenya. In "Robert Sapolsky and Human Behavioral Biology," Daniel provides links to an entire course of study on human behavioral biology that's available for free online at YouTube. If you're interested in anything from memory and plasticity to schizophrenia, language, individual differences, and human sexual behavior, this 25-session course is worth checking out.
After reading Daniel's post, I couldn't resist buying a copy of Sapolsky's latest book, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers, which explores stress and stress-related illness. To answer the question: Zebras don't get ulcers because they – like our ancestors – do not have to confront the chronic stresses of contemporary life, which our bodies were not designed to withstand.
Back to this blog's central theme of forensic psychology I bring you (drum roll) the biggest mystery of all: What motivates US! I blogged about research into why some psychologists give higher scores than others on a measure of psychopathy. In case you haven't read the post I won't give it all away here, but the researchers found that subjects' levels of empathy and excitement-seeking affected whether they saw others as psychopathic. The post is, "Psychopathy: A Rorschach test for psychologists?"

In a Sept. 13, 2012 Competition Law 360 article, we discussed the Third Circuit's opinion in McCray v. Fid. Nat'l Title Ins. Co., in which the Third Circuit applied the filed-rate doctrine to title insurers' rate filings with state agencies without a requirement for meaningful state review. The court found "no apparent requirement" that the state-action and filed-rate doctrine be "reconciled." The Third Circuit's holding can lead to the inexplicable result that collusively fixed rates filed with a state agency enjoy a treble damages exemption even though the challenged rates could not meet the higher standard of administrative supervision required for application of the state-action immunity. The U.S. Supreme Court recently declined to weigh in on the issue, and the tension between the filed-rate and state-action doctrines remains unresolved. Increasing Application of Filed-Rate Doctrine to State Agencies The filed-rate doctrine was developed in the context of federal regulation. It was created at a time when participants in a regulated industry were typically required to file their proposed rates with federal regulators who reviewed the rates to ensure they were fair and reasonable. Elucidating the doctrine in Keogh and Square D, the Supreme Court explained that only the relevant regulatory authority could change these rates, even if the rates were initially set in a fraudulent or improper manner. Thus, the doctrine prohibits antitrust challenge through a private treble damage action to rates set or approved by federal agencies. Since Keogh, the filed-rate doctrine has been extended across the spectrum of regulated industries and market sectors. When it applies, "it is rigid and unforgiving" and "bars both state and federal claims." Although the Supreme Court has never extended the doctrine to rates set by state regulators, judicial application of the doctrine among lower courts in this regard has been muddled. Acknowledging the context of the doctrine's origination, some minority courts have found the filed-rate doctrine inapplicable to rates set by a state agency rather than a federal agency. But a majority of courts that have ruled on the applicability of the filed-rate doctrine to state-regulated rates have applied some version of a filed-rate doctrine to bar antitrust challenges to state-regulated rates. For example, the court in Taffet v. Southern Co. stated that "where the legislature has conferred power upon an administrative agency to determine the reasonableness of a rate, the rate-payer 'can claim no rate as a legal right that is other than the filed rate.'" In the court's view, the doctrine applies with equal force regardless of whether the rate setting is approved by a federal or state agency. Recent years have seen a growing weight of authority supporting application of the doctrine to rates authorized by state agencies. In McCray, the Delaware district court followed this view and concluded that it "will preclude the recovery of treble damages for a Sherman Act claim predicated on the alleged excessiveness or otherwise unreasonableness of a rate filed with a state administrative agency." Growing Disparity in Interpreting the Acceptable Degree of Agency Review McCray illustrates the key disagreements among circuits concerning the extent of administrative review required in order to trigger the filed-rate doctrine. Indisputably, the doctrine does not apply in a situation "when a rate is filed with an agency with no authority to approve or reject it." When the state agency does have rate-setting authority, courts disagree on the type of agency approval or acceptable level of regulatory review. Some courts require only that the rates to be filed, regardless of any actual review of the filed rates. Other courts require meaningful administrative review before the filed-rate doctrine can apply. The leading case for the latter proposition is Brown v. Ticor Title Ins. Co. In finding that prior administrative approval of rates is necessary to justify the filed-rate doctrine application, the court in Brown relied on Wileman Brothers & Elliot Inc. v. Giannini, a case addressing alleged state law antitrust violations against fruit producers. In Wileman, the Ninth Circuit held, "The mere fact of failure to disapprove [by the agency] does not legitimize otherwise anticompetitive conduct." Mere nondisapproval, the court held, "is equally consistent with lack of knowledge or neglect as it is with assent." Brown applied these same principles and refused to extend the filed-rate doctrine to title insurance regulatory regimes which were insufficiently comprehensive and did not provide for meaningful review of rates. Addressing almost identical facts, the district court and the Third Circuit in McCray expressly rejected Brown's distinction of agency authorization through "approval" or "non-disapproval" of filed rates. Those courts cited contrary authority, which suggests that affirmative agency review may be unnecessary, and found that the regulatory review process at issue was nonetheless adequate. Tension between Filed-Rate and State-Action Doctrines Extending the filed-rate doctrine to state regulatory schemes without requiring any meaningful administrative review creates serious theoretical tension between the filed-rate and state-action doctrines. As commentators, including the amici curiae in McCray, aptly pointed out, this approach would impose very different antitrust treatment for state regulatory regimes that are identical in every way except that one has a pro-forma rate-filing requirement, and the other does not. Courts that have adopted this approach seem to have overlooked the broader analytical question of whether, given a state's involvement, the anti-competitive conduct in question ostensibly, blessed, in some way, by state government, nevertheless violates federal antitrust laws. In antitrust law, the state-action doctrine permits certain state-mandated or state-directed restraints, which would otherwise violate federal antitrust laws. First proclaimed in Parker v. Brown, the state-action antitrust immunity is grounded on principles of federalism. In upholding the legality of a California regulatory program that limited raisin output and thereby raised raisin prices, the court concluded that Congress did not intend the Sherman Act to restrain state efforts to regulate trade. Private anti-competitive conduct is entitled to state-action immunity only when satisfying a two-prong analysis: "the State has articulated a clear and affirmative policy to allow the anticompetitive conduct," and "the State provides active supervision of anticompetitive conduct undertaken by private actors." In Ticor, the Supreme Court rejected the state-action immunity for "file and use" title insurance regulatory systems by which private parties set rates subject to veto only if the state chose because "[t]he mere potential for state supervision" was insufficient to displace the unequivocal commands of Congress for free competition. The court emphasized that the purpose of the active supervision inquiry was to determine "whether the State has exercised sufficient independent judgment and control so that the details of the rates or prices have been established as a product of deliberate state intervention, not simply by agreement among private parties." Ticor teaches that state rate-filing regulations do not shield private parties from antitrust liability unless the criteria of state-action immunity are met. Interestingly, the court never discussed the filed-rate doctrine in Ticor. Under the current framework, the filed-rate doctrine is undoubtedly a more viable defense to state rate-setting regimes because the standard of administrative supervision required for the application of the state-action doctrine is significantly higher. The lower courts' varying interpretations of the acceptable level of agency review under the filed-rate doctrine have led to inconsistent judicial results in otherwise similar state rate-setting contexts. Professor Hovenkamp of the University of Iowa College of Law criticized the lack of authorization requirement in the filed-rate doctrine because it "may serve to confer an effective antitrust immunity in situations where antitrust's 'state action' doctrine would not apply." Perhaps a sensible solution when addressing state rate-setting schemes is to deem the filed-rate doctrine subsumed and thus made inapplicable by the state-action doctrine. A lesser alternative is to limit the filed-rate doctrine's application to state regulators only when the state regulatory regime in question provides affirmative, meaningful administrative review. --By Richard Hagstrom and Qianwei Fu, Zelle Hofmann Voelbel & Mason LLP The opinions expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the firm, its clients, or Portfolio Media Inc., or any of its or their respective affiliates.

I'm writing a story about twin princesses, the younger one is taken away from the castle to prevent her from being killed due to the tradition of the royal family only having one child. The king and queen are, needless to say, arrogant and evil. The older twin who lives in the castle is snobby. The younger twin, who doesn't know she's a princess, grows up a peasant.There also needs to be a love interest for the snobby princess, who happens to be the peasant princesses best friend.
Time setting: 1500-1650s, somewhere around there.
Theme: Serious. No fluffy princess story here!HELP!!!

Hi, I've been front ending for a couple of years now and I always find this situation where I want an element to be an exact number of pixels and have some exact padding. Some time ago I used to set the width of the element MINUS the padding * 2 and that worked. Then I got tired of calculating and started adding an inner div, so I could set the width of the parent easily and set the padding to the inner element, but this also looks like a crappy solution, so I was wondering how you guys handle these situations. I know about box-sizing: border-box but I don't want to use it due to browser inconsistencies.
Here's a fiddle to show the problem and my usual solution (case 2)
Thanks and bye :)
My way to go is the following: * Box-sizing: border-box on all elements *, *:after, *:before { box-sizing: border-box; } * Polyfill for IE7 if support required (https://github.com/Schepp/box-sizing-polyfill)
*, *:after, *:before { box-sizing: border-box; }
I do that in most projects, it works absolutely fine.
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
Yep, do what @hugogiraudel suggested. The browser support is actually great.
Yeah as the others have said, box-sizing is well supported: http://caniuse.com/#search=Box-sizing
ok, I'll give it a try, thanks
It's definitely worth it and it makes boat loads of sense in the brain, especially for responsive sites where you want something to be a percentage width.
That way you can do like width: 60%; padding: 20px; and it will just do what you want.
width: 60%; padding: 20px;

Reader questions paycheque comment
Re: NDP's Farnworth looking for a raise in pay (Letters, March 7)
Is it out of ignorance or animosity that Joe Sawchuk says Mike Farnworth just wants to be NDP leader for the bigger paycheque? I suppose he would feel the same way about anyone who throws their hat into the ring for the top job. Did he say the same about any of the Liberal MLAs who ran to replace Gordon Campbell in 2011?
With Adrian Dix's resignation, the NDP need someone to fill the post and lead them through the 2017 election. I'd like to know what the stats in other legislatures have to do with ours.
Perhaps during the next national election, we could hear from Mr. Sawchuk how Justin Trudeau and Thomas Mulcair and anyone else after Stephen Harper's job are really just after the paycheque.

Unconfirmed reports surfaced yesterday that designer Marc Jacobs and Brazilian ad exec Lorenzo Martone tied the knot over the holidays in a private ceremony in St. Barth's.

4 Tips to Create a Fabulous Reach In Closet
Let's face it -if you love a well organized home, you just might drool over a fabulous reach-in closet, especially if your closet is "plain Jane." But have no fear – these simple tips can make your standard reach-in closet as amazing as the others.
1. Maximize space with vertical storage. In closets with standard or wire shelves, it can be hard to utilize every inch of space. Find a storage solution or closet organizer that offers a devoted place for everything. You'll be amazed how much you can fit if it's designed with efficiency in mind.
2. Shoe shelves work wonders. Slanted shelves or shoe storage cubbies keep the piles at bay and shoes within easy reach.
3. Utilize all hanging space. Keep blouses, skirts, dresses and suits in great condition by hanging them. A closet solution that offers double or triple hanging capabilities can really maximize space and adjust as your needs change.
4. Accessories are your friend. Our closet storage systems offer accessories such as baskets, drawers, valet poles, jewelry trays and more. Adding accessories gives your closet more bells and whistles, as well as other great options for storing your items.
Your closet can meet your storage needs and look great while doing so. How do you keep your reach-in closet organized and looking fabulous?

How many of you adjust your loads for specific pistols? I have a G22 and just got a 40 Shield last week. When I shot my goto load for my Glock in the Shield it was very snappy and had what I think is a little to much recoil. If I go much lighter in my Glock I have trouble with the trigger not completely resetting. So I guess I'll need to reload lighter for the shield. I hate having to worry about what round goes in which gun. Please let me know your thoughts and how you handle this?
My G31, G32 and G33 all get the same loads. So the loads you are using barely cycle the slide on your G22?
I think you're not making sense. Trigger reset happens in a Glock long before the slide has moved enough to eject the fired case. I don't see how going a little lighter could give you trigger reset issues before ejection issues unless something is not right in your G22.
The trigger doesn't reset until you take your finger off it. Lighter loads make the gun easier to control. Now, to the OP. I load a number of calibers for several guns. I load 38-55 for long range competition. I load 38-40 for action competition. I load 38 special for eight revolvers and four rifles. I load 45 acp for five 1911s. Some of the guns have distinct "personalities." This is especially true with obsolete cartridges, which never had any SAMMI standards to adhere to. I have, particularly, had to adjust bullet seating to make things work in particular guns. But, also, shoulder set-back sometimes has to be done differently for different guns. So, when I run a series of loads, it is always with a specific gun in mind and adjustments are done accordingly. I have several braces of rifles/pistols that require different intensity rounds for different guns. I have a difficult time holding onto my model P pistols with full house BP loads in the 38-40. So, for that, I have to use fillers to bring the intensity of the loads down. I often shoot different loads with different bullet weights in rifles and pistols. I think you adopt a gun rather than purchasing it. Once you get it home and take it to the range, it starts to tell you its individual story and personality. In order to be competitive, I really have to "listen" carefully to each gun. This is the main reason why I reload. You could never find store-bought ammo for some of the guns I shoot. And, if you could, you certainly couldn't afford it.
I guess I used the wrong term. When I load too light for my G22 it sometimes will fire a second round before I pull the trigger all the way back to the firing position. With factory loads or heavier reloads this never happens. I've had two G20s and a G17 but this is the only gun that this has ever happened in.
I don't run mouse fart loads but that does not sound right to me. Stock gun or aftermarket trigger parts?
something is wrong with your G22 if you get to shots with one pull. do you have stock springs or after market springs or an overtravel stop?
I don't get two shots with one pull. It's like the trigger mechanism releases the firing pin before the trigger pull is complete on the second shot. The gun is stock and a little over a year old.
Sounds screwy to me. What is your load that does this? If the load is not real light I would most likely do a detail strip and clean of the slide and then put on a orange slide cover plate to check the FP lug and trigger bar engagement. Of course it could not hurt to that regardless.
I have 7 9mm and they all use the same load, even my Kimber Solo. 5 45APC and they all use the same load. 2 40 S&W same load and 2 10mm same load. I'm too lazy and will not take the time to develop loads for each gun and don't see a need to.
I have found powder charge can be tweaked to get better accuracy for different pistols in the same caliber, if all else being equal. That said, I don't think I would come up with a light load specifically for the Shield. Because it is not a high round count gun for me, given its purpose. I would work up an equivalent load to the SD ammo of your choice, and practice with that.
You are used to a full sized .40. The Shield is tiny compared to the G22. It should have a lot more recoil. The Shield will handle whatever you want to put in it, but it will be a beast with the hot stuff.

In 1966 Margaret McNamara, wife of the secretary of defense during the Vietnam War, volunteered as a reading tutor in Washington, D.C. She found the kids loved books as gifts. Figures. One of my biggest objections to DRM is that it interferes with true ownership, which increases people's interest in books, be they paper or electronic.
Out of Mrs. McNamara's informal efforts grew a program called Reading is Fundamental, now imperiled by the Bush administration even though Laura Bush once was on RIF's advisory council and Barbara Bush even sat on the board of directors.
E as a way to make RIF even better
"Since 1966, the program has distributed 325 million new books to more than 30 million mostly low-income children," USA Today reported earlier this year. "Testimonials have come from entertainers and sports figures, such as Houston Rockets basketball star Juwan Howard, who was given books as a child. More than 140 publishers participate."
Rather than cutting back RIF, the Bush administration should expand existing p-book efforts and cautiously experiment with an e-book component, aimed at reaching Net-era students who prefer to push buttons rather than flip pages.
I know. E-books sound barbaric to bibliophiles. But as told to me by a teacher who works with students from housing projects, many children actually pay more attention to E. Both approaches, please! Don't cast off the existing literacy infrastructure. Build on it! E could help by increasing the variety of books which matched the kids' interest. Why should E be different from P in that respect?
Just the right book for just the right kid
In fact, from the RIF site, here's more on the history of the project, suggesting the value of just the right book for just the right child:
"The former teacher from California and wife of then-Defense Secretary Robert McNamara concluded that the reading materials provided by their school were not appealing. She thought some of her son's books might engage them more.
"So on a spring day in 1966, she filled a bag full of books and at the next tutoring session spread them on top of a desk. She told the children that they could each choose a book and take it home to keep. Their faces, full of excitement, made McNamara curious. She asked the boys if they had any books of their own. They said 'no.' These were, in fact, the first books the boys had ever owned."
That rings oh so true to me. As a former poverty beat report, I can't exactly recall having seen a surfeit of reading material in welfare mothers' homes. Skeptics can say that's because low-income people don't like books, that there's no cause-effect here. I'd disagree; just check out the evidence. Far from just doling out books, RIF works to see they're actually read and can change lives.
Related: Items in Publishers Weekly and LISNews. I'm amazed by the number of anti-RIF posts that the LISNews item drew, especially those that glossed over the inequalities among local schools and libraries. Also see an excellent essay by Gigi Reynard of eBooks About—which helped fire me up to write the above. She suggests donating to RIF. What's more, you can send off a note to protest the planned cutbacks.
Also of interest: Library books you can KEEP forever—and other ideas to help public libraries survive the digital era, as well as Next step for Big Read program? Why not get some modern classics online for free, TeleRead style?
And speaking of students: A New York Times editorial mentioning digital textbooks as cost-reducers.

Hydroforming provides Rx for medical pumps
Fabriator adds economy to other benefits of titanium
This article relates how a Florida-based company used hydroforming to produce titanium housings for implantable pumps for a Massachusetts-based manufacturer.
Figure 1: The pump housings Hudson produces for the three Arrow models are made of fully contoured and circular titanium to provide smooth, sloping edges between surfaces. |
Arrow International wanted strong housings for its implantable pumps. The answer had to be in titanium, with high quality that could be produced quickly.
"Titanium has proven to be the metal of choice for medical implantable devices," said Daniel Krebs, operations manager for Arrow International Inc., Walpole, Mass. "The material's strength, weight, and inertness to body fluids make it ideal for devices such as blood pumps and pacemakers — devices that will remain in people's bodies for the rest of their lives. However, titanium is difficult to work with when producing the intricate parts needed for these devices."
Arrow found its answer in a hydroformed product at Hudson Tool & Die Company Inc. The Ormond Beach, Fla.-based company produces closures and other precision parts made of titanium, stainless steel, and other exotic metals.
"Our initial contact with Hudson was twofold," Krebs said. "First, we needed a supplier who could produce the pump housings quickly to meet product introduction schedules. We also wanted to improve the housing economics while maintaining close tolerances and high quality."
Diagnosis: Use Hydroforming
Arrow International, through its Implantable Drug Delivery System Division, produces the model 3000 series constant-flow implantable infusion pumps. The pump infuses drugs and safe bolus-dose — a very large dose — injections into patients requiring chemotherapy for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver, for chronic-pain management, and for the treatment of spasticity.
The pumps are available in three reservoir sizes (16 ml, 30 ml, and 50 ml) and have three flow ranges (low, medium, and high). Which pump is needed depends on each patient's needs, which include variables such as the type of medication and the frequency it's dispensed, the patient's size, and the time interval desired between refills.
The pumps have a fully contoured, circular titanium housing that provides smooth, sloping edges between surfaces (see Figure 1). The housing has a palpable, raised septum with a large target area that is easy to locate and access. The single septum access makes reservoir refill and bolus injections simply a matter of changing needles rather than searching for injection ports.
Jim Wagner, an engineer at Hudson, said, "When Arrow approached us to produce the part, we quickly realized that our hydroforming process was the ideal solution. We have had our hydroforming machine for nearly 10 years, and within the last two we have made some significant advances to improve the process.
"Hydroforming uses a punch and urethane bladder to form the shape. By changing the pressures on the punch, we change the shape and dimensions of the part. Also, hydroforming eliminates one side of the tooling, significantly reducing cost."
Figure 2: The upper cover on the Arrow pumps has a palpable, raised silicone septum in the center that is 10.2 mm in diameter. |
Krebs said, "We were impressed with Hudson's dedicated plant-within-a-plant for medical parts. In the medical industry, we are always concerned with quality and contamination issues."
In its turn, Hudson had prepared to address these concerns.
"Several years ago we committed ourselves to producing medical parts by creating the dedicated plant," Wagner said. "Other improvements included a new $1.2 million toolroom and a $625,000 vacuum annealing furnace. To maintain the integrity of the furnace, we use it only for stainless steel and titanium parts.
"For the Arrow application, we developed special baskets to hold the parts during the heat-treating process to ensure that the parts were uniformly treated. Also, the baskets are used only for titanium parts, eliminating the possibility of contamination."
Pump Housing
The Arrow pump housings comprise two parts — the can, or bottom body, and the top, or upper cover. The can ranges from 61.2 mm to 86.4 mm in diameter and 19.7 mm to 27.4 mm in height, depending on pump capacity.
The can also has four small suture loops attached. The upper cover ranges in height from 12.3 mm to 10.0 mm; the smaller-diameter can is matched with a higher upper cover. A small recess along the top lip of the can ensures a tight seal with the upper cover. The upper cover has a palpable, raised silicone septum in the center that is 10.2 mm in diameter on all models (see Figure 2).
The raised septum design provides a large target area that simplifies the process for refilling the reservoir. For a bolus injection, a special needle is used that has a side hole to allow the medication to bypass the drug reservoir and flow into the patient's system (see Figure 3).
Figure 3 |
To create these minute mechanisms, Hudson replaced conventional matched die forming with a draw ring (blank holder) and a male punch hydroforming system that gives it the flexibility to produce either low-volume or irregularly contoured parts cost-effectively.
Hydroforming molds a metal blank into the desired shape using hydraulic pressure. Basic components include a lower die, guides, a rubber diaphragm, and an upper ram or punch.
The metal blank is placed in the lower die and held in place by the guides. The rubber diaphragm is placed on top of the blank, and the punch compresses the diaphragm against the metal blank. The metal blank flows into the lower die, forming the desired shape.
Altering hydraulic pressures during the hydroforming process allows Hudson to form extreme profiles that were not economically achievable with conventional forming methods. Hudson produces housings in wall thicknesses from 0.010 to 0.020 in. with 0.0001-in. tolerances, which result in size and weight reductions.
"Hydroforming allows us to produce highly precise parts typically needed for medical applications in a more economical and cleaner operation," Wagner said.

I'm quite certain ' and ' are the 'dot-with-a-tail' single

ISO8879 doesn't always make sense. For example, if 'rising left double
quote' is &ldquor, shouldn't 'left double angle quote' have been
&ldquoa? It is very difficult to match some of the names with actual
characters, and vice versa. IMHO, this 'standard' could stand revision,
but as someone pointed out in fewer words: the moving finger wrote, and
having writ, deigns not to change a stinking bit.

British designer Jeremy Tankard began Blue Island in 1996 with the idea of creating a completely ligature-based roman typeface, an original but complex task that took years to realize. Individually, Blue Island's letters can appear a bit dismembered, but when set together, they are clearly transformed into words which fall in waves down the page. Successfully balancing readability with intriguing decorative forms, Blue Island is especially effective for titling. As for its romantic name, Blue Island is the title of a poem, also by Tankard, which evokes notions of freedom, escape, intrigue, and the undulating beauty of the sea.

Twice a day. I feel that if you time ur feedings correctly bloat won't be an issue. Feed in am at 7 unless we are training and its a weekend. then I feed as soon as I get up and then by time I get ready and drive an hour to training grounds he's good to go. Might volunteer to run last if I feel I didn't get a full 2 hours in. If its a short training session and in the summer it usually is then ill hold off till we get back around 11 am.
In the afternoon come home train till 630 or 7 feed at 9. If not training feed when I come home which lets him know he's got the afternoon off.
Cup and a half in am 2 cups in pm. Victor hi pro plus. Up till he was 6 months it was 3 times a day when I could. Course feeding eukanuba large breed puppy and its high corn content he was supposed to be getting 6 cups a day. Good no corn food requires less intake to get proper amount of nutrients

DORs (Dead on Road)
I don't count these, I have seen another 50 or so species, in addition to most of those above.
Fifty-three different snake species. Well, there are 150+ more out there – so I'd better get herping.
Just to make it crystal clear for those that need it. I catch the snakes and either take them somewhere I can let them go free and take photos-videos in a wide open clearing, or, if none can be found I take them to another place for photos and videos. I let the snakes I catch go usually within 24 hours. I release the snakes back in the same place I found them, or, if they are venomous and were caught in a house or near houses – I take them to another suitable habitat.
If you want to come and catch snakes in Thailand – give us an email:
We go primarily at night to herp for a couple reasons:
1. more herps.
2. cooler weather.

As quickly as it came together, the band underwent a lineup change, with possibly more on the way. Ransom moved to Los Angeles to tour with Integrity full-time, replaced by the band's producer, Mitch Stewart. Modak was one of four students recently awarded a 2012 Fulbright-mtvU fellowship, and will spend a year in Botswana forming music collectives around a local brand of hip-hop called motswako, while battling the country's HIV/AIDS epidemic.
But so far, the only real obstacle Infinity Girl have faced was coming up with a band name. They eventually settled on a nod to experimental UK band Stereolab. "We didn't have a band name for three months," Eley says. "We were going through a lot of James Joyce." Adds Modak: "We had a list of names from Stereolab songs, and names from Finnegans Wake."
In the end, Infinity Girl is a perfect fit. "There's a feminine aspect, which goes against the gross, disgusting sound we have," Eley says.

Unmanageable home loans in this metropolitan area made it one of the top 25 foreclosure markets in the nation for the first half of 2009, according to RealtyTrac. Real estate development was hit especially hard; last year construction jobs declined by 14.9%, and the number of overall jobs experienced a 3.7% drop. Beyond that, employment in natural resources and construction declined 24.6% between 2005 and 2008. The area, which is home to a sizable tech industry that makes use of highly skilled labor for robotics and defense, dropped 15 places since last year's ranking of large cities.

This Medicine Buddha practice is longer than the Medicine Buddha sadhana and includes praises and requests to each of the Medicine Buddhas as well as Shakyamuni Buddha. It is advised for individuals and centers to do on the eighth day of every Tibetan month and is also a practice to do when someone is sick, dying or has passed away.
"It is very important that the elaborate Medicine Buddha puja be done regularly in order to benefit all. Medicine Buddha puja is also something that can be done for people who are dying, or who have already passed away, and also for individual success in all kinds of activities. This Medicine Buddha practice is extremely powerful and beneficial especially when it is done with extensive offerings beautifully arranged." -Lama Zopa Rinpoche
