I'm back again. Now I finished the 3-LED-testdevice.
XR-E WD R2 and Carclo 10170 and internally etched glass lens @50mA
Diffus-part: Same XR-E WD R2 and Carclo 10170 and internally etched glass lens @150mA(low)/250mA(high)
Light-up: One die of MC-E WD M and Carclo 10195 and clear glass lens @30mA(low)/125mA(high)
All four dies of same MC-E WD M and Carclo 10195 and clear glass lens @4x750mA
XR-E WC R2 and aspherical glass lens 21,5mm dia x 20mm fl @1150mA
In the lab it works similar to the former 4-LED-testdevice.
We will test it at the weekend 8/9 August in Hirlatzhöhle - I will post some results, shure.
If this new test device holds what it promisses in laboratory, I'm finished developing a reasonable headlamp for big caves. In this case I will post circuit diagram, layout and mechanical specifications, so everyone can build such a lamp by its own. It's rather for self made man than for commercial manufacturer. But may be there will be some manufacturer taking the ideas and developing a commercial device from it - would be very interesting!
We started a poll on our caving club website to find out the wishes and requirements of cavers with respect to helmet lamps.
The more cavers participate, the better the data basis to develop new improved headlamps.

U.S. antitrust regulators filed suit on Thursday to block brewing behemoth Anheuser-Busch InBev's (NYSE:BUD) $20.1 billion deal to take full control of Corona maker Grupo Modelo, fearing the deal will hurt competition and raise prices on consumers.
Continue Reading Below
The proposed transaction would have made AB InBev, already the world's largest brewer, even bigger by marrying its Budweiser and Bud Light brands with Modelo's Corona Extra and Modelo Especial.
The DOJ decision to seek a court injunction to block the deal sent shares of Constellation Brands (NYSE:STZ), which planned to sell its 50% stake in the Mexican brewer to Anheuser-Busch InBev, plunging more than 20% after hitting a circuit breaker.
The U.S. said it believes the transaction would "substantially lessen competition" in the $80 billion U.S. beer market as a whole as well as 26 metropolitan areas across the country. The DOJ warned the combination could result in consumers paying more for beer, having fewer products to choose from and could hamper innovation in the industry.
"We believe the acquisition is a bad deal for American consumers," Bill Baer, assistant attorney general in charge of the DOJ's antitrust division, said on a conference call with reporters. "If you have a very slight price increase as a result of this deal, American consumers are going to pay as much as billions more. It is a pocketbook issue."
The DOJ said that AB InBev and Modelo together control about 46% of the annual U.S. beer sales, leaving No. 2 brewer MillerCoors with about 29% of nationwide sales.
Last June Anheuser-Busch said it would pay $20.1 billion in an all-cash deal to buy the 50% of Modelo that it didn't already own.
"We remain confident in our position, and we intend to vigorously contest the DOJ's action in federal court," AB InBev said in a statement.
Constellation Brands said in a separate statement it is "disappointed" with the DOJ decision as the deal would further establish Modelo importer Crown Imports "as a more independent and competitive entity and solidify its position as a major player in the U.S. beer industry."
Given the DOJ lawsuit, Constellation said it no longer expects the transaction to close in the first quarter, but looks forward to "an expeditious resolution."
Constellation was recently trading down 19.20% to $31.65, leaving it about 10.5% in the red on the year.
Shares of AB InBev also tumbled, losing 6.76% to $87.78 in Thursday afternoon action.
U.S. regulators see Modelo as a "particularly important competitor" in the American beer market because it has been effective at pressuring AB InBev to maintain or lower prices, especially in certain U.S. regions.
The lawsuit cites an internal AB InBev strategic pricing plan that provides the highest possibility of "sustaining a price increase" and "ensuring competition does not believe they can take share through pricing."
The documents acknowledge that Modelo has "put increasing pressure" on AB InBev competitively and is at odds with the larger brewer's pricing strategy.
DOJ officials believe that allowing AB InBev to take full control of Modelo "would eliminate the existing competition between ABI and Modelo, further concentrating the beer industry, enhancing ABI's market power and facilitating coordinated pricing between ABI and the remaining large players."

Back cover copy:
When Nadia's family moves to Captive's Sound, she instantly realizes there's more to the place than meets the eye. Descended from witches, Nadia can sense that a spell has been cast over the tiny Rhode Island town—a sickness infecting everyone and everything in it. The magic at work is darker and more powerful than anything she's come across and has sunk its claws most deeply into Mateo . . . her rescuer, her friend, and the guy she yearns to get closer to even as he pushes her away.
Mateo has lived in Captive's Sound his entire life, shadowed by small-town gossip and his family's tormented past. Every generation, the local legends say, one member of the family goes mad, claiming to know the future before descending into insanity. When the strange dreams Mateo has been having of rescuing a beautiful girl from a car accident actually come true, he knows he's doomed.
Despite the forces pulling them apart, Nadia and Mateo must work together to break the chains of his terrible family curse, and to prevent a coming disaster that even now threatens the entire town, including Nadia's family, her newfound friends, and her own life. Shimmering with magic and mystery, New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray's new novel depicts a dark and unforgettable world of witches, curses, buried secrets, and star-crossed romance.
Main description:
A darkly enchanting series from New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray about a teenage witch who battles dark forces in her small town, perfect for fans of the Beautiful Creatures and Hex Hall series.
A boy cursed with visions that lead to madness. A girl granted the powers to save him.
As soon as Nadia arrives in Captive's Sound, she knows something is seriously wrong. The town is shrouded in dark magic, more powerful and complex than she has ever seen. Mateo has lived in Captive's Sound his entire life, trying to dodge the local legend that his family is "cursed" with insanity. When the mysterious girl he has been dreaming of every night appears (Nadia), he fears the curse may be true. But danger is coming, and Nadia and Mateo must work together to stop this unknown force before it destroys everything in its path.

Even with the added problems of a snow storm, local law enforcement officials reported a fairly calm New Year's Eve.
Even with the added problems of a snow storm, local law enforcement officials reported a fairly calm New Year's Eve.
"I think the weather scared off people," Undersheriff Ron Cranor said.
The Sheriff's Office had a couple of reports of accidents Monday afternoon, one of which was a case of a car that went off the road. The other accident didn't result in an injury, according to Cranor.
Maj. Dan Nicodemus, deputy chief of the Leavenworth Police Department, said his department had a lot of calls New Year's Eve, but no major incidents were reported.
"We did have extra officers out New Year's Eve," he said.
He said five accidents were reported in the city Monday and three more were reported Tuesday. He said the accidents were minor. He said there were three other traffic complaints about things such as stalled or stuck vehicles.
There was one DUI arrest Monday in Leavenworth, and three people were arrested for underage possession of alcohol.
Nicodemus said there were reports of shots being fired, which isn't unusual for New Year's Eve. He said the practice of celebrating the new year with gunshots is inherently dangerous. If a person fires a gun into the air, the bullet still will land somewhere.
"What goes up must come down," Nicodemus said.
He said the police received four calls regarding shots fired. He said the police also had two calls about fireworks, which are illegal in the city of Leavenworth.
Things also appeared to have been pretty quiet in the city of Lansing. A list of calls for the Lansing Police Department shows there were some traffic complaints but no accidents were reported Monday. There was one DUI arrest early Tuesday morning.
The list of calls was provided by the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office, which handles 911 dispatching services for the Lansing Police Department.

As you all know, watching football is a form of slow and painful torture for me.
As you all know, watching football is a form of slow and painful torture for me.
For Hubby it's a great source of relaxation and personal expression.
Until recently those two views were beginning to clash
I've tried for years to care about the sport, mostly because Hubby is a huge sports nut. I wish I wanted to fry up wings and serve beers all day long to Hubby and his buddies while they yell at the TV.
But I just can't bring myself to watch more than five minutes of a game. Don't care, don't want to care, don't want to waste my weekends watching them and want nothing to do with them. It's all just noise to me anyway.
Just because it isn't my passion it wouldn't be fair to rob Hubby of his favorite pastime. He looks so forward to football season. If he's not watching the games, he's looking up scores, texting with his buddies about games and players and whatnot.
Football is to Hubby what a good book is to me–a guilty pleasure that I feel no guilt about.
However, up until this point we haven't found a suitable spot for Hubby to build a cave. He made a few half-hearted attempts, but something about the space didn't feel right and the idea never materialized. We decided that it was probably best if he leaves the house for a Viking's game.
It seemed like a workable solution–until the Viking's fourth loss in a row–when Hubby arrived home in a critical mood. His complaining turned from just about the Vikings to just about everything.
I was beginning to think this was just plain nonsense and it wasn't happening anymore and then my prayers were answered–Hubby is getting a man cave back.
When the realization hit him his eyes glittered like a little boy who just saw Santa Clause. Suddenly he became serious and said, "Wait a minute, the idea of the man cave is I go into it by myself. Just remember, it's a place only for 'the man.'"
The more he talked, the more I realized how much we've suffered without a man cave.
In fact, studies have shown that space is very important for regulating emotions. Having his own personal space that reflects his interests can positively affect his well-being.
So maybe the Viking's lousy season doesn't have everything to do with his increasingly bad attitude. I'm willing to hold off banning games until he is settled in his own space–in about two more games.
I think we are finally on the right path to having a more relaxed home atmosphere. If anything, this will keep him busy and give him a reason to stay out of my hair!

Look Sharp!
Church's Consul has long been one of the brand's standards - a beautiful captoe, this shoe is perfectly minimalist and a straight up classic. This is the kind of shoe you leave the alone. The kind of shoe you respect and don't mess with it. Right? Not according to Leffot who has a little something else in mind and that something else is serious sartorial business. These gents have taken the Consul and given it a S/S overhaul - white deerskin, natural sole, natural heel edges. Taking something normally so kosher and turning it into something so goddman sexy is no easy task and for that I commend Leffot (these guys really know what's up). Look sharp!

Heika: In a must-win game, Stars rise to the occasion behind Jaromir Jagr's clutch performance
EDMONTON, Alberta -- Almost 41, Jaromir Jagr has his share of records.
But the Stars' free-agent winger doesn't seem near done rolling up historic numbers.
On Wednesday, Jagr scored a winning goal in overtime to beat the Edmonton Oilers, 3-2. It was the 17th regular-season overtime goal of his career, extending his NHL record. He also tallied the 115th regular-season winning goal of his career, putting him three shy of tying Phil Esposito's NHL record. And he scored the 668th regular-season goal of his career, putting him among the top 10 all-time.
All in all, not a bad night.
"He's quite the player,'' said linemate Jamie Benn, who, like Jagr, had a goal and an assist in the game. "It's fun playing with him.''
Jagr said he has been slow to start the season, but he leads the Stars with eight points (three goals, five assists) in 10 games. He said he's starting to get a feel for the game again.
"I know what my strengths are, and I know what I have to do,'' Jagr said. "I am a heavier player, and Jamie is a heavier player, and Brenden Morrow is a heavier player, so we have to win the battles along the boards. That's what we can do.''
Jagr did just that on the game-winner, coming out of the corner and making a move that crossed up Oilers defenseman Ryan Whitney, before slipping a wrist shot through Edmonton goalie Devan Dubnyk at the 1:46 mark of overtime. The goal gave the Stars six points in the last four games and pushed them to 5-5-1 on the season.
"I tried to beat the guy one-on-one and shot it right away," said Jagr, who played in the Czech Republic during the lockout. "I still have to get used to it -- the European rink is big and you have so much time. Here it is totally different, you have to shoot it right away."
As impressive as the game-winner was, most Stars players were more impressed with his assist on Benn's second-period goal. Jagr fought off a check, won a battle on the boards, and then slipped the puck to Benn, who swept it in from the slot.
"That play to Benn on the first goal, the guys on the bench were in awe," coach Glen Gulutzan said. "He's still surprising the way he can dominate."
The Stars needed the plays to shake a pesky Oilers team that probably shouldn't have been in the game. Edmonton started the game with three injured centers out of the lineup (Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Shawn Horcoff and Eric Belanger) and lost Anton Lander in the first period to a foot injury. Yet, Dallas was unable to capitalize.
The Stars took a 2-1 lead in the second period, but then were whistled for three third-period penalties and allowed the Oilers (4-3-3) to tie the score and earn a point in the standings. Dallas leads the NHL in opposition power plays (54), and it's a problem that Gulutzan has been harping on.
"I like the win in overtime, but I didn't like the response after those two goals," he said. "We kept turning the puck over and putting the game in jeopardy. Until we realize that we are a team that has to grind out games, we are a team that even if it gets a little dicey out there, we have to continue to play a certain way – we're not going to get traction. So I didn't like our response; I thought we turned way too many pucks over. We've got to learn to do a better job."
For now, though, they will take the win, head home after a three-game road trip and continue to try to fight forward step by step.
"We know we can play better than this,'' Benn said. "We have to keep focused on getting better.''

Updated: Even more advertisers pull support for Glenn Beck
An online campaign against Fox News editorialist Glenn Beck is working.
Web site ColorofChange.org, reacting to a long line of racial comments about President Barack Obama, has managed thus far to knock loose from Beck's fold Lawyers.com, Procter & Gamble, Progressive, S.C. Johnson, GEICO, Men's Wearhouse and, just Wednesday morning, Sargento.
**UPDATE: On Thursday, ConAgra, Roche, Sanofi-Aventis and RadioShack all backed out of sponsoring Glenn Beck's programs, according to a media advisory.
"We applaud GEICO and all of the other companies who have stepped forward to pull their ads from Glenn Beck," said James Rucker, executive director of Color of Change, in a Tuesday media advisory release. "Beck's rhetoric is dangerous to the fabric of our democracy, and we are heartened that so many big companies feel the same way. We won't stop here — we're going to continue our fight to see that as many of Beck's advertisers pull their support as possible."
And video clips like this may have something to do with it ...
Watchdog group Media Matters, which has emphatically joined in the crusade to knock Beck from cable television, notes that many of the advertisers who refused in 2006 to support progressive-tilted Air America radio are still backing Beck.
According to the group, those companies are: General Electric, Farmers Insurance, Office Depot, Nestlé (Gerber), Red Lobster, State Farm, Travelocity, the U.S. Postal Service, Walmart and Wyeth.
Media Matters includes ">a long list of controversial, provocative (some would say shocking) segments on Beck's television program that, for the sake of brevity, is excerpted below:
Beck talks about "put[ting] poison" in Speaker Pelosi's wine. On his Fox News show, Beck gave a glass of wine to a person wearing a Pelosi mask, encouraged her to drink it, and then said: "By the way, I put poison in your -- no, I -- I look forward to all the policy discussions that we're supposed to have." [Glenn Beck, 8/6/09]
Beck: Obama is a "racist" and "has a deep-seated hatred for white people, or the white culture." Beck said: "This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy -- over and over and over again -- who has a deep-seated hatred for white people, or the white culture -- I don't know what it is. But you can't sit in a pew with Jeremiah Wright for 20 years and not hear some of that stuff and not have it wash over." He later added, "I'm not saying that he doesn't like white people. I'm saying he has a problem. He has a -- this guy is, I believe, a racist. Look at the way -- look at the things he has been surrounded by." [Fox News' Fox & Friends, 7/28/09]
Beck: "Everything that is getting pushed through Congress, including this health care bill" is "driven by President Obama's thinking on ... reparations" and his desire to "settle old racial scores." According to Beck, "Everything that is getting pushed through Congress, including this health care bill, are transforming America. And they are all driven by President Obama's thinking on one idea: reparations." Beck later added that Obama's "goal is creating a new America, a new model, a model that will settle old racial scores through new social justice." [Glenn Beck, 7/23/09]
ColorofChange.org has created a simple form for media activists: just enter your name and off an objection goes, directly to Beck's remaining advertisers.
Whether the campaign will be successful remains to be seen. And while the conservative Fox News channel still appears resolute in keeping Beck, at this point there's bound to be some discussion of how to stem the tide of advertisers pulling their support.

The Raw Story
Its amazing how extreme this guy became when he jumped ship to Fox. Watching fox and msnbc use to be entertaining, but now that you have radicals like Beck, Olberman, Hannity, Maddow, and others running the show I cant see how anyone can rely on these channels as a reliable source of info.
btw...I wish Media Matters really exposed both sides. They do a great job catching what is wrong in the conservative media.

I'm always amused how everyone gets riled up when a television/radio being, whether it is Glenn Beck or Keith Olberman says something "controversial". Their job is to get viewers/listeners. In the same context, Job #1 for politicians is to get reelected. Why the hell do you think they tell you want you to hear?
This is no different than your favorite restaurant or watering hole. You go there because you get what you want.
Now, if favorite restaurant or bar quits giving you what you want, you go somewhere else. Same thing happens to radio & TV shows, people quit watching/listening and IN THEORY, politicians do not get reelected.
The problem with politics is it is not a free market industry. It's a monopoly that is allowed to makes its own rules. Thus we end up with poor, unresponsive, egotistical "servants".
Just remember Time Warner before satellite TV and U-Verse or Ma Bell before internet phone.
Props to those who have pulled out. For those who haven't, you're getting everything you deserve.
--AT&T Center, 5/9/2006
Where can you find it published of the corporations/companies who decided to stay as a sponsor or even joined after the comments? Trust me...there are plenty of private sponsors of this show.
Like it or not...this country is devided pretty much evenly as far as comments like Beck are concerned. And Bill Mahr makes just as many "contreversal" comments as well.
It just depends on which side of the fence you stand that will get you upset over comments made via media no matter who makes the comments.
And racism is not dead...There's plenty of racist inequities going on in this country from different colors of skin to even government intervention through bias programs.
And one doesn't have to be white to be a racist.
most accomplishments are made because you visualize it before it happens...RMS
Per Websters Dictionary
racsit could also mean:
a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
If Beck's comments were based on this definition....I would have to agree to some extent.
most accomplishments are made because you visualize it before it happens...RMS

Organizing events is no simple feat—it takes several processes working in tandem for things to go smoothly. These processes include:
The overall success of an event depends on the number of registrations it receives. The more attendees, the more opportunities to gain paying customers, which is typically the goal. This is where event registration software can help: These solutions automate the registration process by allowing users to perform actions such as self-registering through a cloud-based interface and checking in through kiosks or bar-code scanners.
This guide can help potential buyers find the best registration system for their needs. Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Registration Software?
Common Functionality of Registration Software
Key Considerations for Buyers
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Market Trends to Understand
Registration software enables organizations to automate the process of event registration and streamline the process of payment collection. Among other things, the software helps with membership management, ticketing, on-site or online registrations, self check-in and badge management.
Registration solutions can also be used to administer polls and surveys to keep audiences engaged and gather attendee feedback to improve future events.
Most event registration software comes with some or all of the following capabilities:
|Attendee management
|Provides an enhanced attendee experience by enabling customized registrations, handling guest lists, managing seating arrangements and engaging audiences with polls and Q&As. Certain solutions allow users to facilitate travel and lodging arrangements for attendees.
|Registration management
|Enables users to check in attendees for events, conferences or seminars through online, mobile or offline channels. Certain solutions allow users to book rooms, venues or tables for attendees, as well as register them for classes.
|Calendar management
|Allows customers to register themselves for appointments or meetings by viewing the online event calendar. This feature may also include integrations with third-party calendar management applications used by participants (e.g., iCal or Google Calendar).
|Allows users to sell event tickets and enables registration for conferences through online or offline channels. Also allows users to customize ticket prices, types and quantities.
|Analytics and reporting
|Enables the generation of customizable reports, allowing users to measure event ROI on several metrics such as membership type, budget utilization, audience engagement, marketing success, attendee-to-lead conversion or no-show percentage.
|Event marketing
|Allows business owners to market their events by offering features such as customizable forms, email marketing, push messaging campaigns, promo codes and event sharing on social media.
|On-site management
|Enables users to manage venue-based activities, including on-the-spot attendee registrations, creating and printing name badges for attendees, checking in attendees by scanning barcodes and integration with self-service kiosks for easy check-in.
|Payment processing
|Allows users to collect attendee payments for registrations by integrating with a payment gateway. This functionality allows users to create dynamic pricing options, adjust discounts and include surge pricing features for collecting payments. Certain solutions also allow users to automate the process of payment collection and refund balance.
Here are a few other things to keep in mind as you evaluate registration software products:
Know the complexity of your registration processes. Smaller events with fewer attendees usually only require a simple registration process. However, as the number of attendees increases, so too does the demand for specialized features, such as differential pricing, discount coupons, list management for running marketing campaigns and QR or barcode scanners for on-site check-ins.
Make sure the software offers a mobile interface. As more people use their mobile devices to access information on-the-go, event planners should seek a solution that allows attendees to easily register or check-in, regardless of location. A mobile interface can help improve the user experience and reduce the work of registration coordinators by saving them the time of checking in every attendee manually.
Software should support necessary integrations. When comparing registration management solutions, know which other tools your system will need to communicate with. Consider vendors that offer integrations with customer relationship management (CRM) software for contact and lead management, social media marketing, electronic payment gateways for online payment collection and email and contact management software for push marketing campaigns.
Consider a customizable solution. The registration process should be flexible enough to enable users to register regardless of location. For an event happening in the U.K., for example, a dropdown with just U.S. zip codes or U.S. currency options won't work. Customization can also enable users to apply certain pricing options to group bookings, such as early bird rates, discount codes and flash sales.
The size of your business will likely influence your needs, and thereby which software is the right fit for you. Consider the following buyer types:
Small and midsize businesses. These businesses typically operate as establishments with up to 100 employees and specialize in a certain industry. Small business should consider a best-of-breed system that specializes in a certain area aligned with their specific needs.
For example, companies that hold small scale concerts and sporting events may primarily use ticketing and seat reservation functionality, and may benefit especially from online registration software. This may not be required for companies holding events such as workshops or conferences, which may focus more on attendee management features such as audience engagement or managing travel arrangements and logistics for the event.
Large enterprises. Companies that specialize in large events often host on-site events that are connected to simultaneous online events. These businesses should look for features that connect both online and offline event registration, such as QR or barcode ticket scanning and automatic badge printing. They may want to consider a registration management solution with a modular suite that provides the ability to pick and choose modules according to their needs.
Big data analytics. Event organizers should go beyond collecting attendee and registration information to provide a truly customized customer experience. A wealth of data on customers preferences can be collected by tracking customers' online activities, such as their social media data and online shopping habits. Big data analytics allows businesses to study this data, so they can serve up customized content to users.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

On this day — the House takes up HB1 and the 371 amendments attached to it; the politics of the Rainy Day Fund vote last night; the Senate adds more spending to its budget proposal; the roads funding crisis isn't looking any better; campus-carry legislation leaves committee in the Senate.
***371 Amendments To Go
The House will begin debating its version of the 2012-2013 budget early this morning. Republican leaders have promised to make a marathon of the proceedings that many in the press corps expect to last well into the weekend. The basics of the budget are well known; it slashes some $23 billion in public spending, mostly from public education, universities and aid to the poor and elderly. The House budget will not pass the Senate, which has been busy working on their less austere proposal.
BRIEF BACKGROUNDER — Why is the government cutting spending to those programs? Because they account for about 90% of all state spending. If you aren't going to increases taxes, you have to chop away at the state's big-ticket items, which is exactly what House Republicans have done.
***Defunding the Public Integrity Unit
In that massive stack of amendments to the House budget, you'll find a proposal to defund the Public Integrity Unit at the Travis County District Attorney's Office. Yes, that office – the one that convicted Rep. Kino Flores and former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. Texas Monthly's Nate Blankslee reports:
But he may not need one to get the revenge Republicans have been seeking. That's because one of Zedler's proposed HB 1 amendments, a seemingly simple half-page item (on page 251 of the stack) moving funding for the Public Integrity Unit over to the AG's office, contains what appears to be a cleverly couched sneak attack.
The amendment provides that funding for the unit will be moved to the AG's office only if HB 1928 is passed into law and the unit's duties are officially transferred out of the D.A.'s office. Careful readers will note, however, that this contingency provision is inserted only midway through the amendment.
The first part of the amendment, which zeroes out the funding for the Public Integrity Unit in the Travis County D.A.'s office, is not contingent on passage of HB 1928. So even if HB 1928 dies and Zedler fails to get the unit moved to the AG's office, passage of the amendment—according to a couple of budget veterans I consulted—will still zero out funding for the salaries of everybody who works in the Public Integrity Unit at the D.A.'s office. Small consolation for Tom Delay, perhaps, but a score will have been settled.
***Freshman Influence
Not in recent memory have there been so many freshman representatives. The Houston Chronicle's Joe Holley and the Austin Bureau's Gary Scharrer examine the influence these new Tea Party-backed legislators have had in the budget debate so far.
An informal survey of Republican rookies would suggest they're holding firm as floor debate continues into the weekend, although some hint they are softening a bit on campaign promises about not dipping into the rainy day fund.
They're holding firm despite rear-guard amendments from beleaguered House Democrats and despite concerns expressed by folks back home about teachers losing jobs, nursing homes closing and college financial aid withering. The $164.5 billion budget that passed out of Pitts' Appropriations Committee is about $8 billion short of what's needed to finance public education. It is about $6 billion short of what state Medicaid officials have said they need.
"I'm with Pitts," said Rep. Dan Huberty, R-Houston, who has emerged as something of a leader among the newcomers, in part because of his prior experience as president of the Humble school board.
"Aren't we big boys?" Huberty asked. "Don't we have to make tough decisions?"
***Campus Carry
The San Antonio Express-News' Melissa Ludwig reports that campus-carry legislation was voted out of committee yesterday.
– The Austin Bureau's Nolan Hicks reports that an updated report by the Transportation Commission's 2030 Committee shows that the massive hole in the state's transportation budget hasn't gotten any smaller.
– The Austin American-Statesman's Chuck Lindell reports that the Senate Finance Committee restored $4.3 billion in funding to state aid programs like Medicaid.
– The Statesman's Ralph Haurwitz interviewed Governor Rick Perry and asked him about the recent controversial hire and fire of Rick O'Donnell, a special advisor to the Board of Regents, who wrote many of the white papers that became the foundation for a controversial overhaul of A&M's research program. Perry called the controversy "a waste of time."
– The New York Times' Sam Dillon examines the impact that nationwide teacher layoffs will have.
– The Morning News' Wendy Hundley reports on efforts to further regulate gas and oil drilling in the state.

Cotton Incorporated's focus on breeding and genetics "is a proactive plan that will work to turn around the trend of stagnant U.S. cotton yields and declining fiber qualities," says the organization's vice president of agricultural research.
Roy Cantrell, veteran geneticist and cotton breeder, said at Cotton Incorporated's annual meeting in San Diego, that the initiative will include an emphasis on precision farming projects, along with education and promotion of the importance of various conservation tillage methods.
"These tillage practices not only can reduce erosion and save fuel, they also preserve valuable nutrients in the seedbed," he said.
Restoring profitability to U.S. cotton producers will remain the cumulative goal of Cotton Incorporated's research programs, Cantrell said.
"We managed 195 core projects and 195 grassroots state support projects in 2001, and we'll make sure each proposed 2002 project is conducted with this underlying goal."
In a discussion of genomics, Cantrell described the cotton breeding process — locating a specific DNA pair out of some 2.4 billion pairs — as the proverbial "finding a needle in a haystack."
Cotton Board Agriculture Committee chairman Bob McGinnis, an Arkansas producer, said the recent hiring of Cantrell was a move "that will lead our Agricultural Division in the direction that will pay dividends for U.S. cotton producers in the future.
"With Dr. Cantrell's background and contacts within the breeder community, he is eminently qualified to lead the division and this new initiative."
Cotton Incorporated is well-prepared, he said, to implement 2002 research and promotion plans, based on "research designed to capitalize on everhy market expansion opportunity for U.S. cotton."
At the meeting, California cotton producer Jim Hansen ended his tenure as Cotton Board chairman and was succeeded by Texas producer Eddie Smith.
"Under Jim Hansen's leadership, we saw the opening of the world's most advanced cotton research facility at Cary, N.C.," Smith said.
"He helped to strengthen our resolve at a time when the U.S. textile industry started to decline, and showed us the importance of remaining aggressive in our research and promotion efforts."
Hansen commended Cotton Incorporated's ability "to recognize and react to ever-changing world cotton market conditions."
Other 2002 Cotton Board officers include Arkansas producer William S. "Bill" Weaver, vice chairman; George producer S. Louie Perry, Jr., secretary; and California producer Ted D. Sheely, treasurer.

EFF And App Developers Alliance To Court: Don't Let Patent Troll Lodsys Avoid Apple's Attempt To Intervene In Bogus Threats
from the patent-exhaustion-is-exhausting dept
Apple, in fact, has tried to intervene in the cases that Lodsys has actually filed (against a subset of the companies to which it has sent threatening demand letters). However, it appears that Lodsys has been quite aggressive in getting companies in such cases to settle (likely by making such a settlement super cheap -- much cheaper than actually going to court) and then arguing that Apple cannot intervene since the case is actually settled.
EFF and the App Developers Alliance (disclosure: the App Developers Alliance sponsors this blog, but we've been covering Lodsys since long before they existed, and will continue to cover them going forward as is newsworthy) have now filed an amicus brief arguing that the court should deny Lodsys' attempt to keep Apple out of one of these cases, because it should be determined once and for all if app developers are immune from Lodsys' questionable threats via Apple's own license. As the brief notes, without this, app developers have significant uncertainty when receiving a threat letter -- and with it a strong incentive to just settle, even if they strongly believe they do not infringe upon the patent (or that the patent is invalid).
If this Court rules in Apple's favor, it would also grant certainty to the millions of app developers in this country who face an open-ended threat from Lodsys. It would have the added benefit of putting litigants and potential targets in other en masse end-user suits on notice of the scope of risk they might be undertaking when they face these demands.

NYC-based photographer LaNola Stone wanted to help her local animal shelter, so she created a photography series of the dogs who had been there the longest. Let's adopt them all! Look at those faces! How can we resist?!
I know I can't, and it gets me into trouble sometimes. One of my dogs, Hazel, had been a long term resident at a local shelter before I fostered her. Actually, she loved the shelter. Most dogs can't wait to get out of that steel-and-concrete, piss-and-bleach hell hole, that they literally drag you out the door. But, for Hazel, the shelter was the first time she'd regularly had meals, walks, and attention. She thought it was the goddamned Four Seasons! Before the shelter, she'd lived tied up in someone's backyard where rocks were her only friends/toys. Seriously, she's missing half of her teeth on one side because she chewed rocks like they were, uh, chew toys. When her family moved, they just left her in the backyard and the neighbors called animal control.
When I came it pick her up from the shelter, I had to literally carry her out of there, past a line of volunteers who each gave her a toy or treat. Of course, homing Hazel was super crucial because it meant that other dogs could take her place and hopefully get adopted but damn, that dog was stubborn. Needless to say, she's a keeper.

Universities: space, place and community13 Sep, Manchester
Universities: space, place and community
University of Manchester
Wednesday 13 September 2017
More than most institutions, universities have historically been defined in crucial ways by their relationship to spaces and places. They are typically named after and identified with the town or city in which they are located. They have also been important architectural patrons, and the buildings they have created tell us a great deal about their conception of their functions. And in their use of their own space they have consciously or unconsciously manufactured academic communities and impacted on the communities beyond their walls. Most importantly today, the tension between their global mission and their particular special location has come under scrutiny as governments see overseas students as a source of longer-term net migration.
This one-day symposium seeks to consider the long and broad history of the spaces, places and communities of universities. The symposium hopes to consider questions including:
· The importance of geographical locations for the development of universities, such as their proximity to capital cities and other institutions or their siting in out of town locations;
· The spaces created for learning and research including libraries, laboratories and museums;
· The communities that universities have built and how they have interacted with the communities that surround them;
· The architectural symbolism of university architecture for the institutions and their vicinity;
· How history can help us understand the dilemmas facing universities as they seek to develop into global institutions rooted in specific locations.
The symposium will be opened with a keynote address from Sir Peter Scott, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education Studies at the UCL Institute of Education.
Call for Papers
Proposals are invited from all disciplines concerned with universities past and present, including history, geography, education, policy studies, sociology, area studies and STS. We invite 20-minute papers that consider the role of space, place and community in the history of universities. We warmly welcome submissions addressing all parts of the world and a variety of time frames.
Abstracts of a maximum of 200 words should be submitted email@example.com by 31 May 2017
There is no charge for the event and lunch will be provided. Please register at:www.universityhistories2017.eventbrite.co.uk

Coyote Pharmaceuticals Initiates GMP Manufacturing Process for CNS-102 Following Successful Pre-IND Meeting
Coyote Cleared to Pursue Fast Track Designation in the Development of CNS-102 for ALS
Feb 13, 2013, 10:35 ET
MENLO PARK, Calif., Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Coyote Pharmaceuticals, Inc., an emerging biopharmaceutical company focused on neurodegenerative diseases, announced today that it has initiated the GMP manufacturing process for CNS-102 following its recent pre-IND meeting with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). CNS-102 is being developed initially to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
In its meeting with the FDA, Coyote was advised to apply for Fast Track designation when it submits its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for CNS-102 for the treatment of ALS. Coyote expects to file its IND in the fourth quarter of 2013 and commence a Phase 1 clinical study of CNS-102 in early 2014.
"Initiating the GMP manufacturing process for CNS-102 signals the first step in our clinical development program for ALS and follows a successful meeting with the FDA in which we were advised to seek Fast Track designation for CNS-102 in ALS," commented Hiroaki Serizawa, Ph.D., president, CEO & co-founder of Coyote Pharmaceuticals. "Given that Fast Track designation is not typically discussed until Phase 2 data is produced, we view the FDA's position as very encouraging for our technology and strategy of targeting heat shock protein induction as a potential treatment for ALS."
According to the FDA, Fast Track designation is intended to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs to treat serious diseases and fill an unmet medical need. The purpose is to get important new drugs to the patient earlier. Most drugs eligible for Fast Track designation are likely to be considered appropriate to receive a Priority Review. A Priority Review means that the time it takes FDA to review a new drug application is reduced. The goal for completing a Priority Review is six months.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Michael Boxall, a current sophomore on the UC Santa Barbara men's soccer squad, will play for the New Zealand team that will represent his home country at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Olympic men's soccer play gets underway this Thursday, one day ahead of the Opening Ceremonies.
Boxall, who hails from Auckland on the North Island of New Zealand, will suit up for the Thai Airlines Oly-Whites, the country's U-23 national team. The Oly-Whites qualified for a trip to Beijing after going five-for-five in qualifying matches this past March in Fiji.
New Zealand will be competing in Group C along with China, Belgium, and powerhouse Brazil. The Oly-Whites will open play against host China on Thursday, Aug. 7.
A six-foot-two, 200-pound defender, Boxall tallied a goal for New Zealand during a match against Chile in July. Down 2-0 in the first half, Boxall headed in a corner kick in the 38th minute to get the Oly-Whites within one, which is where the score stayed until the final whistle.
Boxall played in 12 matches with 10 starts for UCSB in 2007 before a knee injury knocked him out for the rest of the season. Over his 10 starts, Gaucho opponents were limited to eight goals.
Men's soccer, officially referred to as football in Olympic play, was the first team sport included in the Olympic Games. Since 1908, the sport has been held at every Olympics with the exception of 1932 in Los Angeles. It was introduced as an exhibition sport in 1900.
A total of 16 men's teams are qualified for this year's Olympics:
Group A
Cote D'Ivoire, Argentina, Australia, Serbia
Group B
Netherlands, Nigeria, Japan, United States
Group C
China, New Zealand, Brazil, Belgium
Group D
Republic of Korea, Cameroon, Honduras, Italy

What other state bar did you pass? Are you licensed in that state? Is your LLD program online as well?Forgive me, but you two look like your are misunderstanding each other. Neither one comes of as hostile to me and I sense an unnecessary escalation. I didn't think anyone has been licensed from an online school outside of Cali, either. I knew it was theoretically possible, but not that it had been done. Its a huge boot for the legitimacy of online schools, huge.
Here is another DL law school grad who practices outside California:James Rice - graduated Taft Law School in Feb 2001, http://www.taftu.edu/tls/honoredgrads.htm -- admitted to the California Bar in June 2001, http://members.calbar.ca.gov/fal/Member/Detail/213670 -- and admitted to the Idaho Bar in April 2002, http://isb.idaho.gov/licensing/attorney_roster_ind.cfm?IDANumber=6511. Had an email chat with him recently to get is perspective. Said he petitioned the State for a waiver to take the bar; they granted it without problem.So yes, people, it can be done. And I suspect it has been done more often than most of us know.
I read this case a little while back. Ross Mitchell passed the MA bar exam and is working in MA. I think that most states will allow someone with an online law school degree to sit for their exam on a case by case basis. I think that getting published on legal analytical topics is one of the best ways out there that shows them what you can do. Even ABA law school grads submit a sample of their writing to government agencies and some of the top law firms. It will not be easy. But, it is not impossible to get the green light to sit for a bar exam after earning a law degree online.

Skyfall, the 23rd James Bond film and the third starring Daniel Craig, opened in the United States on Nov. 8 after already storming the box office worldwide. It earned $156 million in its first three days alone.
The premise of the film, directed by Sam Mendes and written by John Logan, Robert Wade and Neal Purvis, is familiar: A list of British secret agents is stolen, and the thief, a former company man himself, attempts to use the information to wreak revenge on his former unit for its wrongs.
Though Craig's first Bond film, "Casino Royale" (2006), was set in the early days of the character's history, in a strange way "Skyfall" is another Bond origin story. Fans have long complained that the Craig films have lacked many of the unique charms—the gadgets, the quips, the cast of characters—that we expect in a Bond film.
These fans will gripe no more. By the time "Skyfall" ends, almost every element they've missed has been re-established, some hidden in plain sight until the very end.
The problem is, many of these elements simply do not fit Daniel Craig's Bond. His is not a Bond who quips easily, or at all; he is a damaged soul filled with silent fury. Craig mouths the zingers sprinkled left and right throughout the "Skyfall" script, but for the most part they land as colorless as cellophane.
Judi Dench has done so much with so little in her prior ventures in the role of M, director of MI6 and Bond's handler. Here her character is given a much meatier role, and she delivers a strong, multifaceted performance that expands M's relationship with Bond both believably and unexpectedly.
The title sequence, sung by the British soulstress Adele, is as wild and lush as any Bond film has produced. The film also features some extraordinary action sequences. The opening chase through a Turkish city would be the big finish for most action films. Another early sequence, on an abandoned upper floor of a building in Shanghai, neon filaments floating beyond the glass, is as stunning visually as anything likely to appear in an action film this year.
Having said that, latter sequences have a difficult time living up to the first hour's promise. Javier Bardem, as Raoul Silva, a dark twin of James Bond, carries a great deal of the film with his funny, subversive, psychotic performance. But much of the chaos he creates—a chase through subways, an attack upon an isolated mansion—is nothing new for an action film or even a television series. And the final sequence, which takes us to Bond's childhood home, is more than a little preposterous.
Some (many) will say, of course it's preposterous; it's Bond! But after working so hard in the last two films to build the character up from scratch into a gritty, hard-scrabble realism, to now accept some of the flights of fancy in "Skyfall" is a bit like accepting Elvis as he slides into his first leisure suit. You try to look past it, but you can't help worrying.

When you fly to Balmaceda Airport (BBA), you'll be landing at the largest airport in the area, which is very close to the Argentinean border. Travelers choose this area because both Argentinean Route 260 and Chilean Route 7 intersect nearby.
Balmaceda is a tiny place of between 400 and 500 people, and travelers just looking to relax away from the hustle and bustle can enjoy a brief stay before heading out toward their final destination.
The chief attraction in the area is the Cerro Castillo National Forest Reserve. Its nearly 300,000 acres were set aside by the Chilean government in 1970. Photographers can snap photos of rock formations that resemble a human profile, and outdoor enthusiasts can hike, ride horses, picnic and climb the foothills of the Andes.
Cerro Torre is almost 250 miles away, but there are several smaller peaks near Balmaceda to challenge climbers. For visitors interested in the history of the area, there is the Museo de los Pioneros de Balmaceda, or Pioneer Museum.
Aisen del General Carlos Ibanez del Campo, is known for being really very dry throughout the year. In the lee of the Andes, Balmaceda only gets about 12 percent as much precipitation as Chile's coastal areas, so drink lots of water during your visit.
