A Republican-controlled state Senate committee agreed Wednesday with the new Democratic state schools superintendent that Indiana's A-F grading scale for individual schools should be scrapped.
The unanimous vote by Senate Education Committee backing Superintendent Glenda Ritz on one of her top campaign issues last year came a day after a House committee approved a bill that would take away from her the administration of the state's private school voucher system.
The Senate bill would throw out the A-F grading system that was issued for the first time in 2011 and have the state Board of Education develop a new system for tracking school improvement.
About 60 percent of Indiana's more than 2,000 public and private schools received grades of A or B under scores released in October. Several educators testified Wednesday about instances where their schools had consistently high student test scores but received low grades because students hadn't shown enough improvement.
Ritz, who took office last month, told the committee that she believed using a single grade for schools wasn't effective when trying to track both student performance and whether they are improving. She said more than 100 schools had appealed their scores but that she couldn't give them clear answers on how the scores were determined.
"I'm in favor of reporting out the raw data rather than trying to find some way to combine the score into a grade," Ritz said. "I think we'll have the very same problem of trying to tell people what that grade really represents when we really do have to measure two different things."
The A-F scale was backed by Republican Superintendent Tony Bennett — whom Ritz defeated in the November election — despite widespread opposition from teachers and other groups, including the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.
No one defended the grading system during Wednesday's hearing on the bill to repeal it.
"I've concluded that the current model is flawed and doesn't do what it was intended to do," said Sen. Jim Banks, R-Columbia City.
The bill now goes to the full Senate for consideration.
Ritz's friendly reception on Wednesday followed a contentious House education committee meeting on Tuesday during which Republican legislators pushed through a bill that would move the handling of applications for private school vouchers from the Department of Education to an agency under Republican Gov. Mike Pence.
The House committee chairman cited Ritz's opposition to the voucher program that legislators adopted in 2011 and her involvement in a lawsuit challenging the law that's awaiting a ruling from the state Supreme Court.
Ritz said Wednesday she didn't believe she should be treated differently than any previous state superintendent. She said she would follow her oath of office and properly implement any laws regardless of her personal feelings.
"I hope in the end that I'm afforded the same oversight capabilities and processes that are in place and have been in place many, many years," Ritz said.

The Ultimate Homemade Crib
We love to see a homemade play kitchen, play store, or work bench, but a homemade crib just puts us over the edge. In the past we've seen some really awesome homemade cribs like the Oeuf-inspired Burton special and the Juddy Crib, and even a homemade bassinet. This one by new father Greg belongs in our Hall of Fame as well.
According to Greg: I made it at the request of my wife (an architect) when we found out that we were having our first baby. We thought I would enjoy making it and we would enjoying seeing him sleeping in it. The making part was fun, though trying at times. And the him sleeping in it part has been better than we could have imagined.
We love the small footprint and the storage beneath the sleeping area. Oh, and how lovely is that origami mobile? Greg designed and built this crib while the Furniture Design II Class over at 3rd Ward. Check out their site right here.

Western Montana Buried in Snow – More Coming [AUDIO]
Sunday night into Monday morning, February 24. residents all over western Montana were anxiously watching the sky, waiting for a highly anticipated snow event. They were not disappointed.
According to the National Weather Service, this has been the snowiest February since1936. Meteorologist Trent Smith said the heaviest snowfall came to the Bitterroot Valley.
"In Stevensville and Florence, we had between 12 and 14 inches of snow," Smith said. "The biggest winner, though, was down in Darby where they had a report of 25 inches. In Hamilton, some areas reported 17 inches.16 inches were reported in Seeley Lake, seven inches reported in the Huson area and in Potomac they had 12 inches."
Smith said there may be a few more inches in store for the Missoula and Bitterroot valleys on Monday night. More inclement weather may be in store by the end of the week.
"We have another significant system that the models are trying to indicate from Friday into the weekend," Smith said. "Exactly how it could set up we're not quite sure yet, but we could have another arctic system coming in."

SF in 1990 and 2000
To see all posts in the series, just click on the "1990/2000" label.
My motivations for this project are partly personal -- 1990 was the apex of my reading of genre fiction, 2000 was a year I read almost no genre fiction. In 1990, I was 14 and 15 years old, I subscribed to Asimov's and also picked up various copies of F&SF and Science Fiction Age when I could find them, and any money I had with which to buy books went to SF books. In 2000, I had recently returned to trying to write fiction after some years spent writing plays and screenplays, but the fiction I had in mind was the sort being published in literary journals, not SF magazines. In the summer of 2000, I wrote "Getting a Date for Amelia" and attended the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, then that fall wrote the first draft of "Blood". I expect the only SF magazine I bought was the June issue of Asimov's because it had a James Patrick Kelly story in it, and because Jim was such a huge influence on me, I always buy everything he writes. But I paid no other attention to the genre world.
I'm curious, then, to look back at 1990 and see what remains strong in my memory and to see how some of what I remember holds up now. From 2000, I'm curious to see what I missed.
Beyond the personal, though, I'm curious to see what sorts of developments are apparent between 1990 and 2000 and now.
My first step will be to read some stories from two 1990 best-of-the-year anthologies and from issues of Asimov's (contents here) and F&SF (contents here). The anthologies are Dozois's eighth (contents here) and Datlow & Windling's fourth(contents here). There were also two best-horror-stories-of-the-year anthologies covering 1990, one edited by Karl Edward Wagner (contents here) and one edited by Stephen Jones & Ramsey Campbell (contents here), and I hope to explore at least a few stories from those as well. We'll see. I don't want to neglect 2000...
Looking at the contents lists and honorable mentions lists in the books, these are the stories from 1990 that I remember reading and enjoying then:
- "Dry Niger" by M. Shayne Bell
- "Bears Discover Fire" by Terry Bisson
- "Fool to Believe" by Pat Cadigan
- "Lieserl" by Karen Joy Fowler
- "The Hemingway Hoax" by Joe Haldeman
- "Mr. Boy" by James Patrick Kelly
- "The Propagation of Light in a Vacuum" by James Patrick Kelly
- "Buddha Nostril Bird" by John Kessel
- "Invaders" by John Kessel
- "The Shobies' Story" by Ursula K. Le Guin
- "The Last Feast of Harlequin" by Thomas Ligotti
- "Green" by Ian R. MacLeod
- "The Ragged Rock" by Judith Moffett
- "Bones" by Pat Murphy
- "A Short, Sharp Shock" by Kim Stanley Robinson
- "The Sword of Damocles" by Bruce Sterling
- "We See Things Differently" by Bruce Sterling
- "Eternity, Baby" by Andrew Weiner
Looking through the honorable mention lists, I'm amused to note that Dozois included one of his own stories (congratulations!) and that there are four stories by Jonathan Lethem (from Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine, Journal Wired, and Pulphouse) and two pieces by Jeff VanderMeer that were published in fairly obscure venues, "The Ministry of Butterflies" (still obscure) and "The Sea, Mendeho, and Moonlight" (available in the Bantam edition of Veniss Underground) -- two writers who will, in their own ways, over the next twenty years be at the forefront of challenging and expanding conceptions of genre boundaries (Lethem also has story in Dozois's anthology, "Walking the Moons" -- more about that later).
One of the things that's interesting to note about the contents of both Dozois's and Datlow & Windling's 1990 anthologies is that the vast majority of the writers included are still alive and most of them are still publishing stories and novels of note twenty years later.
Also interesting: the magazines Dozois lists as professional markets: Omni, F&SF, Asimov's, Analog, Amazing Stories, Interzone, Aboriginal SF, and Weird Tales. (Omni, Amazing, and Aboriginal are long dead and buried, but the others survive in some form or another, though given their pay rates and publication schedules I'm not sure how Dozois would list them today.) Dozois lists SF semiprozines Journal Wired, New Pathways, Nova Express, Strange Plasma, and "a slew of horror semiprozines": Midnight Graffiti, Grue, Fear, Cemetery Dance, Haunts, 2 A.M., Eldritch Tales, Deathrealm, and Weirdbook. Locus, Science Fiction Chronicle, The New York Review of Science Fiction, and SF Eye were the leading sources of news and critical writing within the field at the time. Locus and NYRSF are still going strong today.
A few books from 1990 stand out for me:
- Ellen Datlow's Alien Sex was a book I read furtively and with mingled horror and confusion; it now seems to me a strong and provocative anthology, but at 14/15 I had no idea what to make of it.
- Carol Emshwiller's Carmen Dog and The Start of the End of It All both came out that year, and I bought both sometime in the early 1990s at the Avenue Victor Hugo Bookstore in Boston (where Kelly Link and Gavin Grant would later work). I can't say I've ever really loved Carmen Dog, but were I to make a list of my ten or so favorite story collections, The Start of the End of It All would be on it. It's not just a great collection, but one of the books that helped me toward a broader understanding of what short fiction of any sort could accomplish.
- Some other notable collections from 1990: The Ends of the Earth by Lucius Shepard, Four Past Midnight by Stephen King, and Houses Without Doors by Peter Straub. (Looking at those three titles, I think: 20 years ago? Really? Really?!?)
- Of the SF novels published in 1990, the ones I am most familiar with are Pacific Edge by Kim Stanley Robinson, Queen of Angels by Greg Bear, Tehanu by Ursula Le Guin, The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, and The Child Garden by Geoff Ryman. I thought of Queen of Angels this week, given that important sections of it take place in Haiti and it's easily among my favorite SF novels from the '90s. Tehanu may be my favorite Le Guin novel. The others I haven't read recently enough to know what I think about them at all.
- SF Films in 1990 included Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ghost, Total Recall, Back to the Future III, Dick Tracy, The Handmaid's Tale, RoboCop II, Gremlins II, The Jetsons, Ghost Dad, Edward Scissorhands, The Witches, Tremors, Jacob's Ladder, Jesus of Montreal, and Martians, Go Home. I've seen most of those films at one time or another, though the only one I've seen recently (and the only one I own on DVD) is Edward Scissorhands.
- On TV, Star Trek: The Next Generation and The Simpsons were still quite new, and Quantum Leap was also around.
- A few 1990 events to note (more listed at the year's Wikipedia page), not entirely in chronological order: Time and Warner became Time Warner; Louis Althusser died; Nelson Mandela was released from prison and the ANC was unbanned; the Sandinistas lost the presidential election in Nicaragua to the U.S.-supported UNO; the year's Nobel Peace Prize winner, Mikhail Gorbachev, was elected as the first executive president of the USSR, and McDonalds opened its first restaurant in the country, ending the Cold War with lukewarm burgers; the Academy Awards were dominated by excruciatingly sentimental and well-intentioned movies; Emma Watson and Dev Patel were born; Barbara Stanwyck and Joel McCrea died; Ava Gardner, Greta Garbo, and Paulette Goddard died, making it a bad year for actresses with last names beginning with G; Jim Henson, Sammy Davis, Jr., Leonard Bernstein, and Rex Harrison died; Octavio Paz won the Nobel Prize for Literature; the WHO removed homosexuality from its list of diseases; Reinaldo Arenas died; President Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act; East Germany and West Germany reunited for a comeback tour; Mary Robinson became the first female president of Ireland; Mary Martin died; Margaret Thatcher resigned as UK Prime Minister, replaced by John Major; Slobodan Milošević became president of Serbia; Roald Dahl, Lawrence Durrell, Alberto Moravia, Lewis Mumford, Walker Percy, Manuel Puig, Irving Wallace, and Patrick White died; John Gotti was arrested; Aristide became president of Haiti; Lech Wałęsa became president of Poland; Friedrich Dürrenmatt died; Donald A. Wollheim died.

Matthew Brockett Fonterra Cooperative Group Ltd., the New Zealand dairy exporter embroiled in a contamination scare, raised its forecast payment to farmer suppliers for the second time in a month. Farmers will receive NZ$7.80 ($6.10) a kilogram of milk solids in the year through May 31, 2014, Auckland-based Fonterra said today in a statement. That compares with a July 31 estimate of NZ$7.50 and last year's distribution of NZ$5.80. Fonterra has also forecast a 2013-14 dividend of 32 cents a share, taking the new projected payout to NZ$8.12. "Current market views support commodity prices remaining at historically high levels longer than previously forecast," Chairman John Wilson said in the statement. Fonterra, the world's biggest dairy exporter, said earlier this month that a whey protein shipped to China and used in the manufacture of baby formula may have been contaminated with a botulism-causing bacteria. The incident prompted product recalls across Asia and threatened New Zealand's trade ties with China, its biggest dairy customer. "Although there has been some fallout from the whey contamination scare, it has not been enough to have a noticeable impact on prices," Nick Tuffley, chief economist at ASB Bank Ltd. in Auckland, said in an e-mailed note. "Trade disruption has also been minor to date." Fonterra achieved record sales and revenue from two GlobalDairyTrade auctions this month, showing "continued confidence in our products and strong demand from many of our key markets," Chief Executive Officer Theo Spierings said on Aug. 23. Rising farm incomes and higher returns from exports will add to growth in New Zealand's NZ$211 billion economy. Payments to Fonterra's 10,500 farmer suppliers may also be boosted by the New Zealand dollar's 9 percent slide against the greenback since April 11. The kiwi dollar rose slightly after Fonterra's announcement. It bought 78.24 U.S. cents at 3:25 p.m. in Wellington. Back to news

Matrilineal Monday: Medical woman, 1798 activist: Mary O'Brien O'Kavanaugh
The history which Andrew J. Kettle presents of his grandmother Mary O'Brien O'Kavanaugh may very well tend toward romantic notions, since memoirs are by nature anecdotal; however, while accounting for such notions it is still possible to find in Andrew's memoirs some interesting details of the life led by Mary O'Brien O'Kavanaugh. As with all things when we conduct research, what I have found here led me in other directions toward documents of a more substantive nature, some of which support Andrew J. Kettle's accounting.
Of his grandmother Mary O'Brien O'Kavanaugh he writes:
...Mary O'Brien was a very remarkable woman in her time. Her medical skill was so much availed of that her large business premises at Turvey was largely used as a kind of private hospital. She was well known to the Dublin surgeons and many cases pronounced incurable came right under her ministration. She lived at a time when whiskey, not porter, was the beverage of the people, and she made a private request when dying, that her funeral was to take place a day before the usual time to prevent trouble at the great concourse of people that was likely to assemble round her graveside.
As an Irishwoman she held the right faith and played a brave part in 1798. Her family kept an extensive carman-stage at Turvey, and she was the messenger and buyer for the establishment. In this way she armed the men of North Dublin with guns and pikes. Her procedure was on her weekly visit to Dublin to secure an escort for her mission. She was very good-looking and she put her comether on the Barony constable, a handsome active fellow named Leggett, whose headquarters were in Swords. This young Government man met her at Santry on her weekly journey from Dublin, and unconsciously sat on the pikes and guns until he saw her and her driver safely past Lissen Hall, through all the turnpike gates and other obstructions....Mary O'Brien had a little more to do before she settled down to work for humanity. When the Rising was crushed in Wexford a good many of the scattered remnants of the patriot army found their way to North Dublin. There were a few harboured by the small farmers about Killeek and other places, but the majority found refuge and succour round Turvey Hill. There seemed to be less suspicion of strangers knocking about a carman-stage and large farming establishment where there was a business bustle going on. The chief hiding place of the rebels when the Yeos would be scouring the country, was about the estuary at Rogerstown, where horsemen could not follow them. There Mary O'Brien managed to support them until many of them escaped from Ireland.

The only thing scarier during the holidays than the tally on a credit card bill come January is the idea of a child getting lost or abducted while out shopping. Safety tips can keep children by your side or help caregivers find kids fast should they wander off.
These are a busy few months at the mall, with many people packed into stores in search of the perfect gifts. Confusion and the sheer volume of shoppers can increase the chance that a child will get lost.
A lost child can create panic parents and caregivers. However, keeping a level head is more beneficial than running off to find the child. Although preventing a child from wandering off is the best method of protection, being prepared for what to do should the child go missing is equally important.
* Talk about what to do. Sit children who are old enough down to help them understand and set up a plan of action if they become separated from you. In familiar stores, you can establish a meeting spot to go to, such as near the cash register. Instruct children to seek a security guard or store employee and ask for help.
* Dress boldly. Part of the problem when holiday shopping is being swarmed by different people all dressed similarly. Designate brightly colored clothes that both you and your children can wear to be more visible. Most small children only have the vantage point of seeing from the waist down. Consider wearing flashy shoes or a bandana tied to belt loops to help you stand out. Children can wear a bright shirt or hat so you can see them at all times.
* Dress-up strollers, too. Many strollers are identical in appearance. Set yours apart by tying a ribbon or balloon to it. This way you will be able to notice if someone is wandering off with your stroller — and your child!
* Carry a recent photo. Take a picture of your children with your mobile phone before leaving the house so that you will know exactly what he or she was wearing and will have the most recent photo available for identification. In addition to taking a head shot, take a photo of the child's shoes, too. In events of child abduction, kidnappers may have a change of clothes ready for children, but rarely will they be able to change kids' shoes because of sizing issues. Those shoes can prove an invaluable method of identification.
* Give children identification. You can create a personal ID card with basic information to help reunite you with your child. This may include only the child's first name and an "I'm Lost" message with a phone number to "Call Mom." Because even an ID card can go missing, some inventive parents are using methods like temporary tattoo IDs like those from SafetyTat(R).
* Hold hands and stay connected. Keep your children within reach and do not let them stay in one aisle while you shop in another. Holding hands keeps children within reach. Although many parents frown on the use of a child leash, if it means the difference between a child running off or staying put, it might be a good idea.
* Reinforce positive behavior. Should a child wander off and follow safety tips, reward that behavior with praise when you are reunited. Wait until another time to talk about why he or she got lost and how to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Children tend to wander off out of curiosity or by following the wrong person. During the busy holiday season this can happen more frequently. By heeding tips, children can be kept safe whenever the family is in a crowd.

Easy costumes to make for kids from inexpensive pillowcases. No-sew costumes for Halloween.
NEW! Easy to make Skeleton costume from a pillowcase and felt. Such a cute kid's costume to make for pennies.
Items needed:
- black pillowcase
- 2 rectangles of white felt
- Scissors
- Craft glue
- Iron pillowcase to remove creases and wrinkles first.
- Fold pillowcase in half, lengthwise, and then cut a small opening, on folded side, for the neck . Unfold and then cut a slit down the back, only, about 5 inches long from the neck opening.
- Across from the neck opening, at each side seam, cut away a 1/4 inch slice for the arm holes.
- Dab a bit of white glue onto the cut edges to prevent fraying, if desired.
- Print "bones patterns" and cut out.
- Trace onto felt and then cut out and set in place on the pillowcase to form the skeleton. Using the craft glue, glue into position and let dry.
- Add some white face paint for both hands and face or a skeleton mask from the dollar store. We think it looks cute by itself also. Happy Trick or Treating!

I have a
/home/jbruni folder in a VPS running Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx).
I am about to turn this VPS off and move some things from it to a new VPS, also running the same Ubuntu version.
At the moment, I want to move all contents at
/home/jbruni from the "old" VPS to the new one.
1) I want to preserve all file permission and ownership settings (I don't want to use any
chown or
chmod after the transfer). [Note: the new VPS already have the same users/groups with same UIDs/GIDs.]
2) I want to preserve all symlinks and hardlinks, although I believe there is not a single hardlink in this case. I have lots of symlinks, both for files and for folders, all pointing to locations inside the own
/home/jbruni folder.
3) I'd really like to preserve date and times (mtime, atime, ctime). [If not possible, ok... it is not that bad.]
4) I don't have enough disk space to create a big file containing everything in the "old" VPS prior to transfering it (like a big tarball). Anyway, I may acquire this temporary extra space if really really needed.
So, what I want is like a "mirror" of the source folder. Is there a way to accomplish this easily? (Or even not so easily?)
Thank you!

The death of superstar Michael Jackson has cast the spotlight on a little known autoimmune disease called lupus. In an interview on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann, the wellness guru Dr. Deepak Chopra, a longtime friend of Michael Jackson, disclosed that the singer suffered from lupus.
Lupus affects more women than men, and is more common among blacks and Asians. The inflammation associated with lupus affects everyone differently, attacking skin, joints, kidneys, the heart and lungs. Symptoms, which often flare and subside, can be vague, mysterious and frightening and show up in a variety of forms in different patients. They include, fever, fatigue, joint pain, anxiety and mental confusion. Others symptoms include a butterfly-shaped rash on the face, skin lesions, mouth sores and hair loss.
This week, in our regular Patient Voices series, Web producer Karen Barrow focuses on six people who suffer from lupus.
"The hardest thing about lupus is that it's an invisible disease," says Carolyn Sayre, 24, of Manhattan. "It doesn't necessarily confine you to a wheelchair or make you walk with a cane, but it makes you tired and achy and swollen and sort of makes you feel like every day you're waking up with a bad case of the flu."
Wendy Rodgers, 36, of Torrence, Calif., said many people don't understand lupus. She said her marriage ended because of the difficulties of coping with the disease.
"Lupus is often called the look-good, feel-bad illness," she says. "It's an illness that is very deceptive. A lot of times you don't look bad, you don't look sick. You often don't act sick….The marriage didn't work out, but I've had a lot of family support….You need at least one person, someone you trust…to be there for you when you cannot speak for yourself."
To hear more voices of lupus, click on the photo above. And if you have questions about lupus, check in with the Consults blog, "Ask an Expert: Understanding Lupus." Dr. Richard Furie, chief of the division of rheumatology and allergy-clinical immunology at North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, is answering reader questions.

Bucs, still in search of first victory, look to pull it together in Lincoln
LINCOLN, Neb. (Feb. 10, 2012) – The No. 74 ETSU men's tennis team will make its first trip to Lincoln, Neb. since 2007 on Saturday, as it gets set for a weekend series against Denver and No. 38 Nebraska inside the Nebraska Tennis Center.
The Bucs square off against Denver on Saturday at 6 p.m., and round out the weekend against the Huskers on Sunday at 5 p.m. All times are EST.
ETSU (0-5) saw its early-season struggles continue in a 6-1 loss to No. 73 Drake on Thursday. Although faced with a tough schedule – having gone up against five currently ITA-ranked teams – the Bucs are averaging just one point per match. Through its five losses, ETSU has compiled a 5-20 singles record and 2-12 doubles record. Both doubles wins have come from the team of senior Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium) and junior Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela), who picked up their victories against then-No. 57 NC State and current-No. 71 Georgia State.
Bandres enters the weekend as the only Buccaneer with any experience against competitors from either opponent this year, having played and lost to Nebraska's Benedikt Lindheim 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 back on Oct. 3 at the ITA All-American Tennis Championships in Tulsa, Okla.
Denver (1-4) is on a four-match losing skid entering Friday after winning 6-1 in its season-opener on Jan. 21 against Tulane. The Pioneers have fallen to four-consecutive ITA-ranked teams, including then-No. 22 Texas Tech, then-No. 73 Harvard, then-No. 66 DePaul and then-No. 67 Drake.
The Pioneers boast the No. 39-ranked doubles team in the nation in Enej Bonin and Jens Vorkefeld. The junior duo is 10-2 overall and 2-0 so far during the spring season. Both spring victories came at the No. 1 doubles position.
Nebraska (1-2) is opening up their home schedule this weekend, facing Denver on Friday before taking on both Creighton and ETSU on Sunday. In their three matches leading up to the home schedule, the Huskers fell to then-No. 34 Virginia Tech, defeated then-No. 51 TCU and most recently fell to then-No. 20 Oklahoma last Saturday.
The Huskers have two ITA-ranked singles players with senior Christopher Aumeller at No. 41 and the aforementioned Lindheim at No. 78. In their most recent outing against Oklahoma, Aumeller dropped his match to No. 4 Costin Paval 7-5, 6-4, while Lindheim kept his perfect dual record intact with a 6-2, 7-6 (7-4) victory over No. 39 Tsvetan Mihov. The two Huskers also pair up as the No. 7-ranked doubles team.
Live stats will be available for Sunday's match against Nebraska courtesy of Huskers.com.

There's a phenomenal website out there called chocolate alchemy, I've got to find the url, anyway the guy who runs it is crazy about making chocolate and getting other people to do it too.
I bought a little kit from him that had some roasted Ghana Forestero Cacao bean nibs. I processed them in a huge juicer (Champion 2000) until 1 lb of nibs gave me about 10 1/2 ounces of chocolate liquour. This was very chocolatey but thin and had a great bitterness to it that I loved. I let this cool for a couple of days (it hardened overnight). Then I melted it and mixed it with 5 ounces sugar that I beat the heck out of in a blender. See, you have to powderize your sugar and if you use store bought powdered sugar you get additives like cornstarch that can ruin your chocolate. So I mixed the sugar with 1/2 ounce cocoa butter that John also supplied and ran it throught the juicer again. This was my first batch so there was no conching and no tempering. Just squirted the liquid gold into some little molds that were also supplied.
The stuff hardened overnight into the best tasting dark chocolate I've ever eaten. My kids loved it! Because it was not tempered, it "bloomed" which is a cosmetic thing. There was, much to my surprise, considerable snap to the chocolate even without tempering. There was much less grit than I expected given no refining/conching. My next batch will require me to roast the nibs that John provided, then I plan to make a small batch of Mexican chocolate with almonds and cinnamon.
All in all a very satisfying new hobby. Like I have time.

Tim, Hi, I just noticed another anomaly.
Have book of Amos and Scofield.
Select verse 2 in Bible view. [notes on that verse appear in Scofield]
Now if you want to check the Amos Book notes by clicking Amos in the Bible tree, nothing happens.
If you click Joe and then Amo, the notes will appear.

'Bhoola Tujhe' (I forgot You) is a rather unconventional filmic 'hamd' (defined here) in the form of a one-on-one dialogue with God, in that it is primarily one that stems from lament. It consequently implies the seeking of forgiveness and hope therein. In its religious references, it alludes to the character's ignorance of the goodness religions advocate for at individual and collective levels, and his failure to acknowledge all he does not and cannot control. The character undergoes a spiritual transformation, and it is at this juncture that he sings Bhoola Tujhe.
The big questions with respect to the film, of course, are whether it is sung at the outset or toward the end, and who sings it. With vocals by Rashid Ali, lyrics by Abbas Tyrewala, and a delightfully grandiose musical accompaniment indicating its belonging to a film, here it is (thank you Farzad!):
Bhoola Tujhe by rahmaniac.com
Here is my translation:
On a note unrelated to Blue, the vocalist-lyricist-music director team (whose works include Kabhi Kabhi Aditi (2008) and Kahin Toh Hogi from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008)), have me thinking this song might well have been a great fit in Jaane Tu if a deleted scene were retained, in which Jai and Aditi have a little debate on the existence of God. It's almost presented as a head v. heart or science v. art case, and about the only bit missing in the brief but witty discussion is that the foundations of Newtonian Physics lie in Newton's belief in God!
A Song for each Picture #8
This might also be a good time to share a few pictures (click to enlarge) from one of my favorite spots for quiet contemplation. I usually end up here with some book, or at a library, when I need to get away from the world. Please have a go at your favorite devotional (to any religion/deity) songs from Hindi films!
This post is scheduled to coincide with Eid. A happy Eid to you all, then! EID MUBARAK! Dessert's on me :)
Lake Shrine even has a memorial to the Mahatma Gandhi. If you've read any of Gandhi's works, you know he got 'it' and chose to focus on all that is common among religions. Good model to foster trust and respect, I say! Peace.

Lady Bisons unable to go the distance against USC Upstate
April 19, 2008
After going eight innings against conference newcomer USC Upstate, the Lady Bisons were unable to put together a run in the final inning, dropping the first game of the doubleheader 8-7.
Sophomore Christen Campbell pitched 1.1 innings of relief to take the loss for the Lady Bisons.
Campbell belted a grand slam over the left center fence in the bottom of the first inning and the Lady Bisons held the lead for seven innings until a three run homer by the Spartan first baseman in the top of the seventh tied the game at 7-7.
Freshman Kim Brasil scored the winning run for the Spartans on an error.
The loss ends an 11-game winning streak for the Lady Bisons.
Game two of the doubleheader is currently underway.

(Opps. I thought I was posting this in the other blog. Oh well.)
Well it's that new time of year, flerps. That time between the colander new year, Chinese new year and my birthday that seems to say: It's still OK to send out your new years greetings and put up your new years posts. Wait too much longer and you just might be a
In that spirit, I'm putting up two newish audio glerplets! For a limited time only!
First, we have duh. The new years greeting:
A Happy New Year Blorgp from Ed Shepp
The inspiration behind it: Once, when I was feeling GABAbundant, I was listening to that song I'm Yours. And I really listened to it, and I found the last verse quite moving. It metaphorically expresses something quite nice. I bet it would work well in a new years song. So I grated Auld Lang Syne onto it and made my new year's card for 2011, which like all my cards is now just a piece of audio that I post when the time is right. So there you go. Keep it arbitrary.
Second, here's a single! w00t! Well, here's the abbreviated version of the single you can get on iTunes. Click here to get the full version on iTunes. Do I have to spell it out for you?! Anyway, here's the quick 'n dirty blipversion. It's about one of the hottest trends in fear today, bedbugs.
The Bedbugs Song (quickndirty mix)
So those are the glerplets.

31 Years and Counting
How it all began
Inspired by functional drinks from the Far East, Dietrich Mateschitz founded Red Bull in the mid 1980's. He created the formula of Red Bull Energy Drink and developed the unique marketing concept of Red Bull. In 1987, on April 1, Red Bull Energy Drink was sold for the very first time in its home market Austria. This was not only the launch of a completely new product, in fact it was the birth of a totally new product category. Today Red Bull is available in 171 countries, and over 68 billion cans of Red Bull have been consumed so far.
In 2017 we sold more than 6.3 billion cans.
As of the end of 2017, Red Bull employed 11,865 people in 171 countries - compared to the end of 2016 when we had 11,865 employees in 171 countries.
In 171Countries around the world
In terms of future expansion, Red Bull is focusing on the core markets of Western Europe and the USA, growth markets in the Far East and, after demonstrable success on the Austrian test market, on the further roll-out of the Red Bull Organics range.
+ 6.3 BillionCans sold
A total of 6.302 billion cans of Red Bull were sold worldwide in 2017, representing an increase of 4.0% against an already very successful 2016. Taking into account price fluctuations, company turnover even witnessed a 4.2% increase from EUR 6.029 billion to EUR 6.282 billion. In terms of sales, revenues, productivity and operating profit, the figures were up once again and represent the best in the company's history so far. The main reasons for such positive figures include outstanding sales in the Red Bull markets in Turkey (+34%), India (+15%), The Netherlands (+15%), Northern Europe (+13%) and the UK (+13%), combined with extremely efficient cost management and ongoing brand investment.

"Inside the Dream Palace: The Life and Times of New York's Legendary Chelsea Hotel" by Sherill Tippins; Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (480 pages, $30)
"Inside the Dream Palace: The Life and Times of New York's Legendary Chelsea Hotel" by Sherill Tippins; Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (480 pages, $30)
Before Patti Smith, before Allen Ginsberg, before Thomas Wolfe, before O. Henry, the Chelsea Hotel was populated by 80 convivial families of various levels of wealth, brought together by an idealistic board partly inspired by a philosopher so radical some thought him mad.
That was back at the turn of the century — the 20th century — which is where Sherill Tippins begins her engaging, readable history, "Inside the Dream Palace." It tells the story of the remarkable building, opened in 1884 on 23rd Street in New York City, and its legendary inhabitants, but it does something more, presenting an oft-overlooked current of American utopianism, one that was urban, creative and surprisingly long-lived.
At the beginning of it all was architect Philip Hubert, born in France and raised in America by followers of Charles Fourier, a 19th-century French advocate of communal living. Fourier outlined complex social structures that would create an egalitarian, artistic society — ideas that took hold with the Transcendentalists and other American utopians, until they learned that he encouraged free sex and regular orgies.
Hubert held onto Fourier's philosophy — the social, not sexual, elements — through his rise to become one of New York's most successful architects. He purchased the oversized property where he built the 175-foot-by-86-foot, 12-story Chelsea Assn. Building.
It was the city's largest residential building, housing lower-class workers in small suites, artists within glass-walled studios on the ninth floor, and wealthy families with 3,000-square-foot, 12-room apartments. Hubert also designed places to mix: rooms for the ladies and men on the ground floor, a restaurant and a rooftop garden.
"There would be all types of New Yorkers," Tippins writes, "the dark- and the light-spirited, the shrewd and the innocent, the scarred and the pure."
So it was set in motion: A place built beautifully, designed to bridge class divisions and to value the arts. Hubert likely would not have imagined Andy Warhol holding court in the restaurant, Dylan Thomas stumbling drunkenly down the halls, composer George Kleinsinger's room transformed into a literal jungle with exotic plants, birds and snakes, or filmmaker Shirley Clark's video experiments in the rooftop pyramid, originally built for convalescing residents — but what he created was big enough to house them all and so many more.
Tippins' first book was "February House," about a Brooklyn Heights brownstone that simultaneously housed W.H. Auden, Benjamin Britten, Carson McCullers, Gypsy Rose Lee and Paul and Jane Bowles. She's clearly interested in how places and creative people intersect; here, that locus of creative energy survived for more than 125 years.
It's what experimental filmmaker Harry Smith — the brilliant, eccentric and chronically broke self-taught musicologist, religious philosopher and longtime resident of the Chelsea Hotel — would call "thought-forms." Tippins, who slips easily in and out of the perspectives of dozens of the narrative's main players to tell the story, describes the idea this way: "all thoughts emit energy in the form of atmospheric vibrations. ... When strong enough, 'thought-forms' can latch on to receptive individuals and influence their thoughts. The clearer and stronger the thought, the more durable and far-reaching the thought-form."
As goofy as this sounds, it seems to apply to the Chelsea, which was converted from apartments to a residential hotel in 1905; divided from 80 to 300-plus units during the Depression. It was later sold to Hungarian emigres and managed by a father then son, all while fostering an environment uniquely warm to idealists, socialists and artists bent on changing the world — or at least their corner of it.
Some who lived or rested at the Chelsea included artists Larry Rivers, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Claes Oldenburg and Robert Mapplethorpe; American Communist Party leader Elizabeth Gurley Flynn; writers Edgar Lee Masters, William S. Burroughs, Brendan Behan and Jack Kerouac; prankster Abbie Hoffman; film pioneers Shirley Clarke and Jonas Mekas; musicians Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, John Cale, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and the Grateful Dead. Composer and critic Virgil Thomson lived there nearly 50 years. Choreographer Katherine Dunham was booted after bringing a pair of lions upstairs for dance rehearsal. Arthur C. Clarke wrote "2001: A Space Odyssey" there.
But for all that creative energy, there was also the darkness. Valerie Solanas hung around the Chelsea lobby before marching off to shoot Warhol. There were suicides and overdoses. The nadir came in 1978, when Nancy Spungen died of a stab wound in a first-floor room, her boyfriend Sid Vicious arrested for murder. By then the building — like much of New York City — was in a state of steep decline, not enough money, facilities falling apart, drug dealers and pimps roaming the halls.
Taking her cue from Arthur Miller's reminiscences of his time at the hotel, Tippins finds some fault with a midcentury split of art from politics. Once, communal values seemed to be key to the work created at the Chelsea, exemplified by writer Wolfe and painter John Sloane. But a new generation of artists turned inward, making art individual, a change led by Jackson Pollock. Pollock, of course, has a Chelsea story too: When Peggy Guggenheim threw a luncheon there in his honor, instead of wooing collectors, he drunkenly vomited all over the carpet.
Yet it is the outrageous stories of the Chelsea that make it so appealing. The drunken mishaps, the acid-laden philosophies, the unusual couplings. The Chelsea's misfit artists, charming decay and low-rent opportunities are out of step with contemporary New York, and in 2007 the longtime manager was pushed out by directors who wanted to sell. The buyer, after years of stalled renovations that seemed designed to drive out longtime residents (who won a suit against his company), transferred the property into new hands in fall 2013. New owner King & Grove promises kinder, gentler renovations and a commitment to keeping the property "artsy" — but the utopian "thought-forms" of architect Hubert may have run out.

I mean, if we're going to take those numbers so seriously we're going to thoughtlessly shoot innocent victims, those enforcers are given way too much leeway. If we're going to take that "the woman could go for the knife and kill everyone" when she's being watched seriously, then we also have to worry about those enforcers. And they aren't permanently watched. They've had opportunities to kill Akane, if they'd felt like it. By the logic of "numbers are everything", they should therefore have been shot, no question asked.

The barbs over misquoting seem a bit excessive to me, but anything is good if it gets people to read more Thomas Jefferson. And I'm not even American. I'm just a big believer in the Enlightenment of the 18th century, when Western intellectuals began to gain some freedom from (as well as of) religion, and individual freedom began to be seen as more important than the power of the State or the King.
As for the criminal coefficient system, it does seem a bit clumsy if it can change back and forth twice in a few minutes, as it did for the victim.
If the state and society in general are more important than the individual, we shoot people on suspicion. If the individual is more important, we do a lot to make sure we don't convict anyone who isn't guilty, even at the expense of allowing some guilty people to go free. But I'd say there is a happy medium somewhere, and it does not include dubious predictions of criminal tendencies.
But the show is highly enjoyable, anyway. Seen on the show's own terms, the new woman erred in not allowing the victim to be paralyzed when she went over the limit. It ended up putting not just the victim but the cops in mortal danger. The victim would just be taken in and treated and then returned to society. There could even be a delayed habeas corpus hearing, as has always been common, I believe.

Well we can all agree that this system dose indeed have it's flaws however we should remember that even with it's flaws it is still in use obviously because it works and thats all that seems to matter.
As the saying goes "the system works" it may not seem fair to everyone but enough people believe in it to back it up. However like with any system there is always room for improvement.

Ok, without the Dominator and just a standard present era handgun would Masaoka have aggravated the situation by proceeding to level his weapon at the girl?
At that point, was there clear and present threat the victim was posing to anyone yet? If anything, the act of threatening her with the Dominator made that threat (the lighter and fuel) later.
Of course, later having to stun her after she's prsented the threat is a "can't be helped, no choice" thing.

I have already addressed the issue of why the police must have the authority to kill people under certain situations. The only debate--and what Psycho Pass might illuminate--is the limit of those certain situations.
There is equally no question that the situation would have stopped without reaching the lethal stage had anybody on the scene shot her immediately.
But neither is particularly important in determining whether the situation called for Masaoka to disable the victim.

I am guessing that someone with a psycho pass greater than 100 will be detained for therapy indefinitely until the number is lower than 100, which is why for people who are naturally high like the enforcers (or victims that cannot overcome their traumas), that means live-long imprisonment and being forced drugs. In this context, the overreaction of the criminal and the victim makes sense.
I wonder if the unit (what's its name?) is short of people because of the high stress level - and thus, high risk of psycho hazard, the police does not to let people work in that unit for long (L&O: SVU dejavu). I am betting that one of the enforcers used to be just a normal officer.

I guess the problem that why they don't want to go to the therapy is more to the reason that the possibility that other people might know about it...
just like in real world, employer can requests data from the police to see if the person is a past criminal or not so why not cc reading as well...and it seems cc reader can be bought as well so other can see it just as easily...
People would avoid someone with high CC reading knowing the tendency for violence that they cause even though they have gone to therapy and everything...basically having high cc reading is a social stigma for extreme violence and thus branded as criminal...
Oh...just as an add on let me propose my theory on how they calculate CC level...
Stress level measurement + dopamine level value
Stress level measurement is a value got from most likely a combination of BP, heart rate, respiratory rate, temp, and some basic value that could be use to indicate stress
Dopamine level...it is said on psychopath the dopamine level is in excess much more than normal people (google it) so they constantly seeking reward...
About how that can be read by dominator...let's just say in the future they can...but the current technology can read using PET scan about how different area of the brain activate because of higher dopamine level...maybe it use that as basis?
So? Is my theory good?Or not?

Ah, dystopian thought crime land with Gen writing; should be interesting. There's some GITS vibes.
Also, Kana Hanazawa, etc
Although why would they send a newbie to do this kinda stuff? Seems like a huge liability. At least the body exploder gun thing is user friendly.

we'd already go through the recruitment problems, no need to bring up the fact that Akane is new to the job.
One thing that has been bothering me though. The first time Akane went up to talk to the victim, why is she holding the gun in both hands in clear view of the women? Why doesn't she put it away? It'll probably be just noobie mistake though, however I think it's still intentional.

Oh yeah...it's just me but akane said she once write a thesis...i just realized it...do cop have to write a thesis to graduate from the academy? Since I don't think so...
I assumed she got transferred to CID fieldwork because they short on staff that's why she only have basic training on it and not exactly full knowledge on it..she strikes me as desk work type person...
If she didn't have to then the division that she supposed to be required her to write one, right? What division would it be? Since she said she once write a thesis about relation of cc if I don't mistaken, is the division where she supposed to be is the one related to therapy, and related to it...

Team USA morning session quotes from 14th IAAF World Indoor Champs
Inika McPherson, Women's high jump qualification
"It was okay. Working on my run-up and I felt good out there but it was good competition. It's how it goes. You can always take something from the jumps. I need to be more relaxed in competitions and do what I always do. I'll be ready for outdoors."
Joanna Atkins, Women's 400m heats
"I don't feel good about the race at all. I had a good start, got to the break first, had a good first lap but I'm going to have to talk to my coach and make some adjustments. Just going to have to go a bit harder."
Francena McCorory, Women's 400m heats
"It was great. It's a little early so it's hard for me to wake up, but I'm excited going into the next round. I'm going to try to get out of the first 200 a little faster."
Ryan Whiting, Men's shot put qualifying
"It went according to plan. I stayed out there to help Kurt. The older guys did that for me when I was on my first team. He didn't get through but it's a good experience for him. I have a ton left in the tank. I was kind of just coasting in first gear."
Kurt Roberts, Men's shot put qualifying
"It was awesome. I realized I still have a lot to learn: how to turn it on, how to turn it off, how to wait 45 minutes in between throws. I think there's a little more of a learning curve than I expected. To watch Ryan throw tonight, I wish I was throwing with him but I'm so happy for the experience. It makes me want more. I didn't want it to just be an experience."
David Verburg, Men's 400m heats
"My goal was to just get out and I wanted to get out harder than I did. I got caught on the inside and I wasn't expecting that. I just tucked down into second place, stayed calm. Someone clipped my heel on the backstretch, so that kind of threw me off mentally but I had to keep my composure. I waited until it was right to make a move and came home. I finished strong so it's just a matter of mental (composure)."
Kyle Clemons, Men's 400m heats
"This is so amazing. I'm so happy David and I both made it. I have so many memories already. It's my first team, my first time being in Europe and I just can't even explain how amazing this is. I walked out there and my eyes just got so big. I just used that energy for my race and it went great. It's a very fast track and I like lane 6 but I didn't get out as fast as I wanted to. I just relaxed, didn't get tight and just kept driving."
Shannon Rowbury, Women's 3,000m heats
"I knew they were only eliminating three people so the goal was to just be top five so I could make the final. I wanted to see how I could do and get my legs turning over. We kind of got into 9 minute pace early and the last few laps, it was kind of a revolving door of athletes, so I just made sure I was one of them."
Gabriele Grunewald, Women's 3,000 heats
"You always want to conserve a little energy to be ready for Sunday and I did that. There was a lot of pushing and I got pushed pretty hard from behind. The pack got a little frantic and that was when I wanted to make my move so it threw me off for a lap. After something like that happens, you have to collect yourself and finish the race. I kind of knew we'd be okay if we finished strong the last 1,000m. We started a little slow but I knew it'd pick up. I'm happy with my time; it's the second-fastest indoor 3000m this season. I'm okay taking a time qualifer because it means I have five seconds more in the tank on Sunday."
Wlll Leer, Men's 1500m heats
"I had an idea that those guys were going to take it from the gun. We had the advantage of knowing what everyone else did. The announcer was extra super nice and let the crowd know the bubble time, so he told us too. I sat back, bided my time and I don't feel fantastic so I'll feel a lot better tomorrow I hope."
Lopez Lomong, Men's 1500m heats
"The race went a little slow so I thought I could sit and relax. But there was a lot of pushing but it's a championship race and there's a lot on the line. I ran the whole way and the race was just physical. But I'm so honored to have the opportunity to represent my country and wear this uniform. Final or not, it means so much."
Ajee' Wilson, Women's 800m heats
"I don't really know what happened. It just kind of got away from me. I got a little too comfortable and when they went, I couldn't go. I need to be more aggressive and confident in myself. I didn't have that there today and it reflected in how I did."
Chanelle Price, Women's 800m heats
"Coach wanted 58 and if someone's not going to do it for me, I need to do it. I have to have confidence in myself either way, so I took it. I knew I'd have to get in on time if I didn't win and I felt a little flat but I got my legs going, I get a day's rest and I'll see what my coach has to say heading into the final.
"This year is so different for me, mentally. I just don't put all that pressure on myself anymore. I run to give God glory and just to have fun with this. We're at Worlds, yes, but at the end of the day, it's just another race."
Erik Sowinski, Men's 800m heats
"I just tried to do too much. That's all it comes down to. I was stuck on the outside line the whole race. I never really got the chance to settle in and I paid for it at the end. I just need to put myself in better position. The tactics were poor and I paid for it at the end."
Nick Symmonds, Men's 800m heats
"I knew it was going to be fast. Glad to have been here. (This is) the only championship race available for an American this year. So I said even if I'm not quite ready for it, I want to be out there. So here I am. I ran a season's best by almost a second, so I'm pleased with that. I'm a good month away from where I would need to be to be competitive with these guys. I'm very, very excited to watch the final on Sunday. They're very fit and there are three guys who have already broken 1:45 indoors, and that would've been the American record if I was that fit. It's going to be a very interesting final.

9. Relief Society
The Relief Society is an auxiliary to the priesthood. All auxiliary organizations exist to help Church members grow in their testimonies of Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the restored gospel. Through the work of the auxiliaries, members receive instruction, encouragement, and support as they strive to live according to gospel principles.
9.10 Additional Guidelines and Policies
Sisters Who Have Special Needs
Sisters who may have special needs include those who are ill, elderly, widowed, divorced, homebound, or bereaved and those who care for chronically ill family members. Other Relief Society members should offer help.
Sisters who have these and other special challenges may come to the Relief Society president with their concerns. She should listen, offer love and encouragement, and maintain appropriate confidentiality. If she learns of possible concerns with worthiness or sensitive family matters, she refers the sisters to the bishop.
For information about helping sisters with disabilities, see 21.1.26 and disabilities.lds.org.
Dress Standards
The Relief Society presidency teaches sisters to be well groomed and modest in their attire. Presidency members help sisters understand that at Church meetings, their appearance and clothing should show reverence and respect for the Lord. Relief Society leaders also help sisters understand that when they go to the temple, they should wear clothing that is suitable for entering the house of the Lord. On these occasions they should avoid wearing casual clothes, sports attire, and ostentatious jewelry.
Offering Support at Times of Death
When a death occurs in the ward, the bishop may ask the Relief Society president to contact the family to give comfort, assess needs, and offer assistance. He may request similar assistance from the elders quorum president. Elders quorum and Relief Society leaders coordinate these efforts.
In preparing for a funeral, the bishop may also ask Relief Society leaders to give service such as helping with flowers, meals, or care of children and providing a simple meal for family members after the funeral service. For additional information about funerals, see 18.6.
If possible, deceased members who were endowed should be buried in temple clothing. In some circumstances, the bishop may ask the Relief Society president to assign an endowed woman to dress or oversee the proper dressing of a deceased endowed woman. The bishop and Relief Society president ensure that this assignment is given to a person who will not find it objectionable. Guidelines for dressing deceased members are provided in Instructions for Clothing the Dead Who Have Received Their Endowments. Leaders may obtain these instructions from Church Distribution Services.
For additional instructions on dressing the deceased in temple clothing, the bishop may refer to Handbook 1, 3.4.9.
The Relief Society president, ministering sisters, and other sisters continue to offer support, comfort, and assistance to the bereaved during the period of adjustment following the death.
Young Women Who Are Pregnant out of Wedlock or Who Are Unwed Mothers
See 10.12.4.
Instructions about Temple Clothing and Garments
See 21.1.42.
See 13.2.8.

I would love to see what havoc they'd wreck.
The injury to Mills and the Gaels missing the Tournament should make Patty a better player in the long run. I cant see him declaring for the draft after such a disappointing end to the season. Another year of NCAA ball under his belt will only help this kid. He can work on his playmaking abilities and should emerge as a better and more NBA ready player after next season.
Agreed. Pat is already a solid talent. If he stays all 4 years, I think this kid could be like a Brandon Roy, but in a PG mold.
he definitely is a worker. my father in law works at St. Marys and he says that Patty has a personal trainer that he works with daily after regular practice.

BellSouth, AT&T Cut From The Same Cloth
from the protect-them-from-themselves dept
Even if the merger rumors between SBC -- er, AT&T -- and BellSouth continue to go unfulfilled, the two companies' ideologies already sound joined. Following the head of AT&T's earlier assertion that Internet sites and services should pay to access "his pipes", BellSouth's CTO says that ISPs shouldn't be allowed to block content from reaching their customers, but rather should be allowed to let companies pay to have data prioritized -- and sent at higher speeds -- to their customers. The exec was quick to add that ISPs shouldn't be allowed to degrade the performance of those that don't pay, but rather establish a baseline service and then sell the premium speeds on top of it. You don't have to be a cynic to imagine they'd just set the baseline at a low level, probably too low for third-party VoIP services and other competitive applications they've talked about blocking before, basically requiring anybody that wanted their data to reach customers at a reasonable speed to pay. Every time a carrier makes an absurd statement like this, it merely highlights the need for network neutrality rules given the lack of real competition in the broadband access market. Blocking content or hobbling services would break the Internet. Part of its beauty is the relative ease with which a new site or service can reach a large audience. Legalizing these sort of virtual protection rackets would throw up a ridiculous barrier, merely to protect carriers' interests because they can't be bothered to, or simply can't, compete.

TSI says it will use the proceeds from the credit facility to repay the existing credit agreement dated Feb. 27, 2007, and to redeem in full its entire outstanding 11 percent senior discount notes due 2014 in accordance with its terms. TSI has a revolving loan facility that expires on Feb. 27, 2012.
The New York-based company is seeking to complete the transaction during the second quarter.
"This is good news, especially if they succeed in replacing their existing debt," Rick Caro, president of New York-based consulting firm Management Vision, says of TSI. "And in all likelihood, it will come at a lower interest rate."
In its 2010 year-end financials, TSI reported that its long-term debt is $301.96 million. The previous two years, TSI reported long-term debt totals of $316.51 million and $317.16 million.

Kim Jones says science can be viewed as a mystery that must be solved.
"It's like a puzzle, and you have to put the pieces together," Jones said.
Jones , 45, was recently promoted to director of the stormwater management division for the town of Bluffton.
The stormwater management division protects the town's surrounding bodies of water and works to find ways to improve water quality.
In her new position, Jones supervises initiatives to protect the May River. She had worked since 2007 as Bluffton's the water quality program manager.
Jones replaces Ron Bullman, who had been the director of the stormwater management division since 2010. He recently moved to Charleston to take a job in the private sector.
Born to be a scientist
Jones said she always knew she wanted to enter the field of science. Growing up on a farm in Pennsylvania, Jones said, she wanted to be a veterinarian.
"I was always interested in being outside," said Jones, who is a biologist.
Jones has a speciality in ecology, the study of how organisms interact in the environment.
Jones earned a bachelor's degree in biology from Gannon University in Erie, Pa.
As an undergraduate student, Jones said, she became interested in the impact humans have on the environment. Acid rain was affecting the Great Lakes at the time and she said she became interested in studying the problem's cause and effect.
Jones later earned a master's degree in biology and ecology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in Indiana, Pa.
"Biology is such a broad field," Jones said. "There are so many different directions which intrigued me."
Jones said she thoroughly enjoys her new position with the town.
"Everyday is something different," Jones said.
'Well-deserved' position
Although there are challenging moments, Jones said she finds protecting waterways enjoyable. She said helping residents understand their impact on waterways is extremely important.
"Folks here are very passionate about learning about the May River," Jones said. "This makes my job easier."
During Bluffton's July Town Council meeting, Mayor Lisa Sulka said Jones' new position is "well-deserved."
Jones recently presented at the South Carolina Water Resources Conference and the Southeast Stormwater Association Conference. She serves on the statewide advisory board for Clemson Clear, a university-sponsored stormwater outreach organization. Jones is a member of the advisory committee of the South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium Coastal Communities.
Jones is a member of the water quality committee for the Together for Beaufort Program and Beaufort County's Water Quality Monitoring Working Group. She said in the next five years, she hopes to continue working in stormwater management.
Jones has lived in the Lowcountry since 1995 and has served in several environmental positions, including vice president of the Coastal Discovery Museum on Hilton Head Island, and supervising science and sea turtle protection projects.
She was the science and education director for Palmetto Bluff Conservancy.
