Based in part on her spending five years to graduate with a journalism degree from a state university and her marrying a man without a degree at all, Half Sigma estimates that Sarah Palin's IQ is in the 110-115 range. He refutes the argument that lacking a college education is a special attribute of the Alaskan frontier:
I just checked the 2000 U.S. Census, and discovered that 24.6% of Alaskans 25 or older have at least a Bachelor's degree. This is in comparison to 24.4% for the country as a whole.It'd be interesting to see a state-level analysis of the average income gap between college graduates and the rest of the population (if anyone is aware of this having been done, please make it known in the comments). As the median income in Alaska is among the highest in the country, this might provide those commenters a little more ammo. The more lucrative it is to go to work right out of high school relative to spending four years in a university, the more enterprising the person choosing to forgo college will be. Conversely, the kids who go to a university for a non-technical degree in these states are probably more likely to be unmotivated and directionless, seeing college as a party without parents extending for four years, than are students who go to school in places where the degree premium is higher.
This contradicts a group of comments left here telling me that in Alaska people don't go to college because of all the high paying blue collar work, and that I can't judge Alaska by mainland U.S. standards. These comments turned out to be wrong. Educational attainment in Alaska is nearly identical to the rest of the United States.
HS goes on to make this assertion:
Virginia, 29.5%, is the most highly educated red state (voted Republican in last four presidential elections). For this reason, it's the red state most likely to flip to a blue state.Virginia may become a Democratic state like Maryland is. But to presume it is vigorously tied to the percentage of the population with a bachelor's or better is tenuous at best. Utah, the most pro-Bush in '04, is the second-best educated red state. It would literally require a 50 state-plus-DC landslide for Utah to become blue for an election cycle. Kansas, the third-best educated red state, would hold out for almost as long as Utah would.
As flushed out a bit below, I'm more inclined to think that Virginia's lack of educational parity (as measured by the percentage of the population that has a high school education but not a bachelor's) is a better explanation as to why the state may lose its red credentials. The five most educationally unequal states, measured in this way, are California, Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, and New Jersey. Virginia is in solidly blue company.
Considering only the bachelor-plus percentage of the population isn't the optimal way to determine the best-educated state, and not because it makes blue states look especially good or the sparsely populated northern central states look especially bad. It presumes the left side of the educational spectrum is identical across states.
That's not the case. As shown in one of this blog's first posts, red states have greater educational (and to a lesser extent economic) parity than blue states do. Red state educational attainment is like female intelligence--its distribution is narrower than that of blue states (and male intelligence). The majority of the population (56%) with at least a high school diploma but not a bachelor's degree are more likely to be found in red states than they are in blue states. The correlation between the percentage of a state's population that falls in this category and Bush's share of the vote in '04 is .65 (p=0).
The percentage of a state's population with a bachelor's-plus does not correlate nearly as strongly with estimated IQ scores based on NAEP data (.46) as the percentage of a state's population with less than a high school education (.72) does. The prolish behavior HS detests might be better indicated by the less than high school percentage than by the bachelor-plus number, depending on where the cutoff is*. Both measures include similar proportions of the population (19.6% of the population over 25 years of age has less than a high school diploma, while 24.4% has a bachelor's-plus).
Taking the bachelor-plus percentage by state, subtracting the less than high school education percentage from it, and multiplying by 100 for ease of viewing, creates a simple educational attainment index by state that more fully accounts for not just the right side of a state's educational distribution, but the entire thing:
1. Colorado -- 19.6
2. Massachusetts -- 18.0
3. New Hampshire -- 16.1
4. Vermont -- 15.8
5. Connecticut -- 15.4
6. Minnesota -- 15.3
7. Maryland -- 15.2
8. Washington -- 14.8
9. Utah -- 13.8
10. Alaska -- 13.0
11. New Jersey -- 11.9
12. Kansas -- 11.8
13. Montana -- 11.6
14. Virginia -- 11.0
15. Hawaii -- 10.8
16. Nebraska -- 10.3
17. Oregon -- 10.2
18. Wyoming -- 9.8
19. Maine -- 8.3
20. Delaware -- 7.6
21. Illinois -- 7.5
21. Wisconsin -- 7.5
23. Iowa -- 7.3
24. New York -- 6.5
25. Idaho -- 6.4
26. South Dakota -- 6.1
27. North Dakota -- 5.9
28. Michigan -- 5.2
29. Arizona -- 4.5
30. Pennsylvania -- 4.3
31. Ohio -- 4.1
32. Rhode Island -- 3.6
33. California -- 3.4
34. Missouri -- 2.9
34. Georgia -- 2.9
36. New Mexico -- 2.4
37. Florida -- 2.2
38. Indiana -- 1.5
39. Oklahoma -- 0.9
40. North Carolina -- 0.6
41. Texas -- (1.1)
41. Nevada -- (1.1)
43. South Carolina -- (3.3)
44. Tennessee -- (4.5)
45. Alabama -- (5.7)
46. Louisiana -- (6.5)
47. Arkansas -- (8.0)
48. Kentucky -- (8.8)
49. West Virginia -- (10.0)
50. Mississippi -- (10.2)
Utah comes out on top among solidly red states, followed closely by Alaska. While the relationship between a state's estimated average IQ and its electoral preferences is weak and well outside statistical significance (r=.12, p=.41), states where people spend more time in academic institutions are moderately more likely to vote Democratic (r=.33, p=.02) than people from other places are.
I suspect people attending college who receive little benefit from it but who are otherwise capable of being productive and prosperous (in the 100-110 IQ range) is a bad thing for Republicans. They'll rack up debt without having obtained the attributes to easily pay it off, while unnecessarily delaying wealth accumulation and family formation, in the process becoming more likely to vote Democratic than they otherwise would have been. The trend toward aptitudinal mediocrity in college probably isn't politically favorable for Republicans, either.
Tangentially, in the discussion thread on HS' post, Razib challenged another commenter:
"College education is a proxy for whites."He then took a quick glance at degree rates and demographics by state and concluded the latter. He's correct. In fact, to the extent that a very marginal relationship exists, it is an inverse one. There is no statistically significant relationship (r=.12, p=.40) between the percentage of a state that is non-Hispanic white and its bachelor-plus percentage.
did someone look into this? (here or inductivist?) or are you just talking out of your ass?
However, there is a moderately inverse correlation of .39 (p=.005) between the white population percentage and the percentage of the population that has not graduated from high school. Whiter whites in Massachusetts go to college. The wrong kind of whites in West Virginia do not. But both at least graduate from high school. Hispanics and especially blacks are the ones who often don't make it that far.
The data, via Swivel, are here.
* HS' seems to demand upper-middle class company rather than just wanting to avoid the underclass, so that might not be correct. It could be even better to look at the percentage of the population having attained a graduate or doctoral degree for his purposes.

What stands out for me about that night was that Game 7 was initially rained out and postponed until Monday, and went head-to-head against the Giants and Redskins.

Dear Hollywood: The 'Stakeholders' For Copyright Policy Don't Fit In A Room
from the that's-one-big-room dept
Ali Sternburg points us to a tweet from Nate Otto, in which he basically makes the same point, but much more concisely:
I'm tired of Hollywooders thinking IP policy "stakeholders" fit in a room & don't include the public.It's such a simple and important point that I wanted to repost it here. It needs to be repeated over and over again.
Ever since Hollywood lost the SOPA/PIPA fight, they keep claiming, over and over again, that Silicon Valley needs to get in a room with them. Chris Dodd has done it a bunch of times -- and each time we've asked why he doesn't actually go online and talk to the public. Now Ari Emanuel has done it too, and we need to repeat a paraphrase on Nate's tweet above.
Copyright's stakeholders don't fit in a room and must include the public, by definitionAny time we hear a demand for a company to do some sort of backroom deal on copyright, we need to remember and remind people:
Copyright's stakeholders don't fit in a room and must include the public, by definitionI doubt it will sink it, but perhaps if we remind them enough, they'll finally start to realize it.

Your free tour begins on August 10 for Windows PCs, the PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, and 2K Games promises you'll get a healthy dose of the intense shooting and high-speed driving action.
"The Mafia II demo invites gamers to dive into the Buzzsaw level, where Vito and his buddies, Joe and Henry, are sent to take out a mobster known as The Fat Man," 2K said in a statement.
"While the epic game spans two decades, the Buzzsaw demo takes place during the summer of the 50s – a time considered the Birth of Cool, and with it, rock 'n' roll, hot rods, and rebellious attitudes. The demo showcases the type of vibrant edge-of-your-seat action, as well as a slice of the expansive city of Empire Bay in the colorful era."
Like what you see and you can pick up the full Mafia II game on August 24 in North America, August 26 in Australia, and August 27 worldwide.
Sharkey says: Nice. I've heard varied opinions on the game's shooting and driving mechanics, so I'm glad 2K is stepping up to offer a demo. I'm coming for you, Fat Man. As a fan of the original Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven on PC, I've got my fingers crossed for this one.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ A disciplinary panel has recommended the lowest possible penalty for a former Kansas courts research attorney who used foul language in tweets about former Attorney General Phill Kline.
The special three-judge panel on Monday recommended that Sarah Peterson Herr receive an informal admonition for the comments she posted on Twitter in November 2012.
Herr tweeted during an appearance by Kline before the Kansas Supreme Court as part of an ethics case about his investigation of abortion clinics. She was quickly fired by the Kansas Court of Appeals.
The special panel ruled last month that Herr had violated the rules of professional conduct. In its decision Monday, the panel cited her lack of prior disciplinary history, her public apology and cooperation, and her brief experience practicing law.

40 people involved in brawl near Alamo Christmas tree lighting
SAN ANTONIO — At least 40 people were involved in a brawl Friday night a few hours after the city's Christmas tree was lit about 200 feet away.
The fight, which occurred around 9:20 p.m. in the 100 block of Alamo Plaza, spilled onto the street, which had been closed for the annual tree lighting and parade.
Hundreds of passersby — including children and families enjoying the holiday lights downtown — squirmed through the block-long fight hoping to avoid accidental involvement.
Five people were arrested, four of them juveniles, and no major injuries were reported.
Police Sgt. Phil Misek said it's unknown how many people were fighting, but police closed almost the entire block between Commerce and Blum streets.
SAPD scanners initially reported about 40 people were involved in the incident.
"There was more than that fighting," Misek said. "Most people scatter and run."
Other officers on the scene said at least 30 police responders from bike, traffic and central patrols were at the scene.
At least two other fights broke out while police were clearing the area, one resulting in an arrest and the other breaking up before police could combat the crowd surrounding the area.
Misek said the one adult arrested was the mother of one of the juveniles arrested.
EMS met the officers at the magistrate in response to the woman's claims that she was having an asthma attack.

Before making the final media rounds to promote his "Woody's Winter Warm-Up" benefit, the Cubs' Kerry Wood stood in the waiting area of the posh 316 Club Barber Spa last week — where he would receive a haircut and shave — and gave me a reality check on his famous 20-strikeout performance. The 34-year-old pitcher pointed out that his record-tying outing that felt like it wasn't that long ago was actually much longer ago than I thought: 14 years ago, to be exact.
"We're getting old," said Wood, a mug of beer in hand.
He's right. We aren't as young as we used to be. Young Kerry Wood probably wouldn't have cleaned up his appearance for the cameras. This is the same guy who said his wife never saw his chin for the first six years of their relationship.
These days, however, Wood has no problem sporting a clean-cut look. Sure, he's currently sporting a goatee, which 316 Club's Carmelo Preiti would clean up with a straight razor, but it's nowhere as unkempt as it used to be.
"(I shave) usually when it starts to looks like yours," Wood said of my stubble, once seated in his barber chair. "Probably every four or five days. My kids complain when it gets scruffy."
As for the beer — courtesy of the bar located in the Loop barbershop — Wood added that he drinks far less than he used to. He attributes this to age as well.
"I can't do it anymore," Wood said. "Recovery takes two or three days. Although I was out for New Year's (Eve). … We went to a neighbor's house. I hadn't seen 2 a.m. in several years."
Wood won't have to down drinks at his Wood Family Foundation benefit Friday at Harry Caray's Tavern at Navy Pier, but he and many of his teammates will be serving them. The event will also include a performance by "Hey There Delilah" band Plain White T's and an appearance by the man who could determine whether Wood returns to the Cubs this season: team president of baseball operations Theo Epstein.
When does Wood expect to receive word about his future?
"Probably when spring training starts next month," Wood said. "I'd like to (have gotten) word a couple weeks ago."
Regardless of what happens, Wood plans on keeping his family in the Chicago area. It's where his wife is from and where he's comfortable. He has a restaurant in Old Town where he takes his family every week because "the kids can throw (stuff) everywhere," and he has a bar in Lincoln Park where he watches sports on Mondays because there is rarely anyone there.
Once Preiti was done cutting Wood's hair, which Wood said was 10 days overdue, Wood mentioned that Preiti — who famously cut Patrick Kane's mullet during the Blackhawks' 2010 Stanley Cup run — had to cut his hair multiple times before he trusted him to shave his face with a straight razor.
Wood wasn't always so cautious.
He blew out the engine in his Dad's truck doing "doughnuts" in a muddy baseball field his junior year of high school. "I worked at a little grocery store stocking shelves to pay it off," Wood said. He also pierced his ear himself with a needle his senior year of high school. "It didn't last long," Wood said. "My Dad said, 'If I see (an earring) again, I'm going to rip it out."
The conversation turned into a kids-these-days discussion because, as Wood previously pointed out, we're getting old. Wood said he wishes piercings were the least of his worries now as a father of three.
"Now 12-year-olds are coming home all tatted up," he said.
And then there's the music. Wood listens to classic rock and refuses to give in to his kid's music preferences.
"Mine are young enough," he said, "where I can still force them to listen to my music."
Hey, it's one of the perks of being older.

WALTHAM, Mass.- Six members of the Brandeis University women's soccer team have been selected to the 2013 All-University Athletic Association (UAA) team. Senior defender Kelly Peterson of Houston, Texas, and junior defender Alec Spivack of Miami, Fla., were second-team selections. Four more players received an honorable mention. Sophomore forward Melissa Darling of Weymouth, Mass., junior goalkeeper Michelle Savuto of Ridgewood, N.J., sophomore defender Haley Schachter of West Barnstable, Mass., and junior forward Dara Spital of Miami, Fla. were all credited for great seasons.
Peterson was the anchor for a staunch Judges defense at center back, starting all 19 games this season. She has now been named to three consecutive All-UAA teams. This season, Peterson helped Brandeis record nine more shutouts after setting a school record with 13 last year. She maintained her reputation as an excellent free kick taker, notching two goals off of set pieces. Her first goal of the year was an earlier equalizer at Gordon in an eventual 3-2 defeat. Her second goal was another booming free kick from at least 45 yards out that tied the game late versus NYU on Senior Day in a come-from-behind 2-1 victory.
Spivack was another strong piece to Brandeis' great defense, playing with Peterson at center back. She started all 18 games she played in and was instrumental in keeping opponents off the score board with her play on the back line.
Darling and Spital were honored for their work on offense this season. Darling played in 18 games this season, coming off the bench to finish fourth on the team with nine points. She had three goals and three assists on the season including a game-winner in a 1-0 win at Case Western Reserve and a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw versus Chicago. Darling also notched a pair of assists in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) quarterfinals in a 2-2 loss on penalty kicks against Castleton State.
Despite only playing in, and starting, 13 games this season due to injury, Spital finished tied for UAA lead with 24 points, third in the conference with nine goals, and tied for first with five game-winning goals. She recorded at least one point in her first seven games of the year and had two multi-goal efforts in a 6-0 rout against Clark and a 3-0 victory over Wellesley.
Savuto and Schachter each received their first awards of their respective careers. Savuto split time in net last season but earned all of the playing time this year and won UAA Athlete of the Week twice this season. Savuto had a 1.08 goals against average, .798 save percentage, and led the UAA with 75 saves as she recorded eight shutouts. Schachter had a great year at left back, starting all 19 games.
Under head coach Denise Dallamora, the Judges finished the year 10-6-3 and were awarded the second-seed in the ECAC Tournament. On Wednesday November 13th, after completing 110 minutes of soccer Brandeis and Castleton State were tied at 2-2 in the quarterfinals. The Judges fell 4-3 in penalty kicks as the Spartans advance to the semifinals.
Peterson is a 2010 graduate of Clear Lake High School. She is the daughter of Doug Peterson and Randa McCartney, Houston, Texas.
Spivack is a 2011 graduate of Miami Palmetto Senior High School. She is the daughter of Michael and Liz Spivack, Miami, Fla.
Darling is a 2012 graduate of Weymouth High School. She is the daughter of Jack and Diane Darling, Weymouth, Mass.
Savuto is a 2011 graduate of Ridgewood High School. She is the daughter of Paul and Deborah Savuto, Ridgewood, N.J.
Schachter is a 2012 graduate of Barnstable High School. She is the daughter of Keith and Linda Schachter, West Barnstable, Mass.
Spital is a 2011 graduate of Gulliver Preparatory School. She is the daughter of Michael and Jeanne Spital, Miami, Fla.

As reported from BGR today at Mobile World Congress, mobile processor juggernaut Texas Instrument held a press event to offer some additional details about its OMAP 4 and 5 processor lines. Greg Delagi, the companys senior vice president and general manager, gave the keynote which took place right on the showroom floor. He emphatically talked about the need to push the capabilities of smart devices forward while being mindful of the constraints battery technology puts on the industry. RIM was then brought up on stage, as the PlayBook will be using the OMAP 4 platform, and praised the progress that TI is making with its system on a chip (SoC) OMAP processors.
See the video demo below recorded by BGR of the motion-based gesture recognition, in action running on prototype hardware, along with some of Mr. Delagis thoughts on why OMAP is such an effective mobile processor.

An article on SecurityFocus discusses the issues with the North American power grid and its susceptability to a cyber attack. After a major blackout took out electricity to 30 million people in 1965 NERC (North American Electrical Reliability), a non-profit group, was formed to guarantee that it didn't happen again.
The government has proposed imposing security standards, but NERC stepped in hoping to keep the mandatory standards in the family and keep the government out of it.
"They've added requirements for compliance monitoring, with sanctions for noncompliance."Full Article: Sparks over Power Grid CybersecurityThat worries Kenneth Hooper, a protection engineer at NB Power, an electric company serving the Canadian province of New Brunswick. He says mandatory continent-wide security measures are too blunt an instrument for the job.
I don't personally feel that the government should impose *mandatory* standards, but you have to start somewhere. This is an industry self-regulating rather than having the government step in, but its close to the same.
I don't think its unreasonable though for this organization or the government to establish mandatory minimum baselines. If not them, then who? Someone has to set the baseline and establish a standard by which to measure others. If an electrical company failed to execute minimum reasonable security precautions and caused a portion of the power grid to crash I think they should be held accountable.
I am not 100% decided, but I tend to lean toward corporations and ISP's being held accountable for not taking basic security precautions if their networks end up propagating the next Nimda or such. The question is- who gets to decide what the minimum reasonable requirements are??? Who will pay the costs to bring things up to the minimum baseline? Who will police the world and impose the penalties?

John Reinisch, MD is internationally renowned reconstructive surgeon who a pioneer in corrective surgery for the treatment of microtia. Microtia is a congenital ear deformity that can affect hearing. They also are highly regarded for their skill in reconstructive techniques for young patients with large or complex vascular and pigmented birthmarks, and cleft lip and palate correction.
Dr. Reinisch, Director of Craniofacial and Pediatric Plastic Surgery, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, use the MEDPOR® technique in treating microtia. This technique was first introduced in 1991 by Dr. Reinisch and enables children as young as three years of age to undergo the corrective surgery.
Treating Microtia
Treating microtia involves a multi-faceted approach to address this complex condition. Patients need coordination of the following:
- Creating a realistic external ear: This is done by a specially trained craniofacial plastic surgeon
- Improving the microtia patient's hearing: Hearing loss due to microtia is treated by an otolaryngologist, a physician specializing in conditions of the ear, nose and throat. An otologist has additional specialized surgical training for treatment of hearing abnormalities associated with microtia, including canal reconstruction (also called atresia repair) or surgically implanted hearing aids, such as the BAHA implant
- Helping microtia patients with the psychological difficulties associated with "looking different": The psychosocial effects of a facial abnormality on a child, particularly those of school age, cannot be underestimated. Some families have benefited from a child psychologist to help learn the best way to deal with questions or teasing from others
There are three primary options for reconstructing a microtia patient's ear, each offering distinct advantages and disadvantages over the others. Understanding these differences, and selecting the appropriate procedure and medical team to perform them, is critical for these very young microtia patients.
- MEDPOR® Ear Reconstruction: A synthetic material is used as a framework that is covered by the body's own tissue
- Rib Cartilage Ear Reconstruction: Uses the patient's rib cartilage to create an ear that is covered by the body's own tissue
- Silicone Prosthetic Ear: Sculpting an artificial "plastic ear" that attaches to the body either with an adhesive glue or with a device that is surgically implanted into bone (called an osseointegrated implant)

SANFORD—After a busy preseason, coach Kristy Parent's Sanford High School girls basketball team is set to open the 2012-13 season tomorrow with a 7 p.m. home game against Bonny Eagle at the Memorial Gymnasium.
Seniors on this year's varsity team are Heather LeBlanc, Sam Adams, Taylor Littlefield and Janelle Cannon. Juniors on the squad are Shelby Paiement, Morgan Fogg, Grace Riley and Kaela Godwin. Other team members include sophomores Hannah Howes, Laura Kirkpatrick and Liz Bougie, and freshman Jeannette Jones.
Littlefield led the Spartans in assists with 56 last season and Adams led in free throw shooting, connecting on 40 of 55 attempts for a 73% mark. Other team leaders included Janelle Cannon who led the team in blocks with 10.
In addition, Morgan Fogg was second on the team in assists with 46 and Leblanc was second in rebounds with 72 despite being limited to only nine games because of an injury.
Elected captains of this year's team are seniors Adams, Littlefield and LeBlanc, and junior Morgan Fogg.
Among those lost through graduation were Maria Veino, now a standout at the Southern Maine Community College, and Katelyn King.
Veino was the top rebounder in the entire SMAA conference last year with a total of 174. King led Sanford in points scored with 130, in 3-pointers with 34, and in steals with 53. Veino was Sanford's second highest scorer with 114 points. As of Monday, she was leading her college team in rebounds and up among the team leaders in points scored.
Last season, Fogg received the Coaches Award and the Most Improved Player award at the team banquet while Littlefield was presented the Teammate Award and Adams was the recipient of the Redskin Award.
Howes led last year's JV team in scoring with 117 points followed by Lynzie Nadeau with 79, Shelby Paiement with 66 and Laura Kirkpatrick with 54.
Members of this year's sub varsity team include Mystee Walton, Ashton Ruby, Lynzie Nadeau, Allison L'Heureux, Carolyn Higgins, Shantel Gagnon, Leah Farley, Morgan Coleman, Mackenzie Ahearn, Kayla Burgess and Danni McIntyre.
Andy Adams returns as an assistant coach and will be joined by newcomers Kayla Parker and Melissa Small.

Wyoming Lottery Decision In Governor Mead's Hands
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Both houses of the Wyoming Legislature have voted to concur on a compromise over a bill that would authorize creation of a state lottery. The bill now heads to Gov. Matt Mead.
The House and the Senate voted Tuesday to approve a conference committee resolution that called for the first $6 million in proceeds to go to local governments. Any proceeds over that amount would go to a public school foundation fund.
The House and Senate originally had disagreed over how to spend lottery proceeds. The Senate originally called for putting the money into a fund that supports schools while the House called for distributing proceeds to local governments.

Many of the Scripture passages from the third week of Advent speak of rejoicing and the glory that will surround us when the Lord comes at last. Many also speak about the effort it takes to fully experience that glory and joy in the Lord. If our hearts are closed, if we are not attentive to Christ during these final six days before Christmas, how can we really welcome him?
No matter what Advent has looked like to this point — whether you woke up today and suddenly realized it was Advent or if you have been an Advent rock star — we all have room to grow, to break away stone from our hearts and open ourselves more intimately to the Lord.
The following verses talk about that need for growth and focusing our gaze on Christ.
Where is God knocking at your heart? Take that verse and invite him in.
May God bless your week.

I ordered my second expedition on the last day of the October sale asking for the remaining demo on their list.
It arrived today and to my surprise I'm about 98% sure it's not a demo but a brand new unit judging by the packaging.
Regardless, I'm very impressed by their service and quality product.

Guest post from John Murray – Ed.
You know, working in the Developer Relations team at Research In Motion® (RIM®), you get to get to play around with some fun stuff. Recently, Near Field Communication (NFC) has been exercising my brain cells. Some of you may be familiar with the NFC-related articles and code samples that I've co-authored with my co-conspirator, Martin Woolley (@mdwrim), which you can find listed in our NFC Article and Code index.
Now, whenever you mention NFC in a conversation, people invariably think of payments. Using NFC to make secure payments is perhaps the most obvious use case. However, when I think of NFC I tend to think of workflows as well. "Workflows," you say? What do you mean?
OK, let's think about it anecdotally. How many times have you had the challenge of transcribing some data from an external source to your handset whilst holding a bag and trying to hold a conversation at the same time? How many times have you tried to share information on your handset with someone else and had to struggle with inputting email addresses whilst doing three other things at the same time? These use cases are examples of Workflows, or Business Processes, that stumble on the point of having to accommodate more "human" interaction than is really necessary. NFC can be used to help streamline simple workflows that involve human interactions on mobile devices and ultimately help achieve efficiencies.
So, having thought about this and how to demonstrate a simple but realistic use case (whilst also having some fun), we came up with the concept of the "Fun Run".
Suppose you're taking part in a charity "Fun Run" – not quite a marathon but something shorter for fun. The race organizers have developed a simple mobile application to allow you to register for the event and have placed NFC Tags in the starting and finishing areas. As you start you tap on one of the tags, your race timer is started as well as notifying the organizers that you have begun. When you pass the finish line, simply tap on one of the tags in the Finish area to stop your timer and notify the organizers of your finishing time!
In between the start and finish, there may be Way Points with NFC Reader devices that can be used to register intermediate times as the runner passes these points. Tap the handset to the NFC Reader and receive confirmation that the timing data has been transferred successfully.
OK, maybe it's not 100% realistic, but as an example it is sufficient to demonstrate how a workflow process that involves having to record start and finish times and tracking progress can be made more efficient using NFC. The key learning point is to understand how integrating NFC technology into your application can be used to achieve efficiencies in similar processes.
The Applications
Let's take a look at how we implemented this simple example using BlackBerry® 10 and BlackBerry® 7 NFC capable devices. There are really three use cases:
1. Tap your handset against an NFC tag at the start of the race to start your race timer.
2. Tap your handset against NFC readers at intermediate waypoints during the race to transfer your current race timer data to an application that manages the reader.
3. Tap your handset against an NFC tag at the end of the race to stop your race timer.
Acting on External Tag Events
To implement the first and last use case, we decided to provide two NFC tags that had specific NDEF messages as their content. There would be one tag that would start the timer at the start of the race and one tag that would stop the timer at the end of the race.
Specifically the data in the two tags is:
1. Tag used to start the timer:
NDEF TNF = External ( integer value 4 )
Type = "my.rim.com:myrecordtype"
Payload = "start"
2. Tag used to stop the timer:
NDEF TNF = External ( integer value 4 )
Type = "my.rim.com:myrecordtype"
Payload = "stop"
Why use this data? Well, firstly we choose an NDEF TNF (Type Name Format) for the NDEF Message because it allows us to define custom tag content that won't clash with standard tag message types such as Smart Poster ("Sp") or URL ("U") or Text ("T"). We want to make sure that when one of these tags is presented, our application, and our application alone, is launched to process the tag.
Secondly, we choose a "Type" of "my.rim.com:myrecordtype". Within the context of an External TNF record the Type can be arbitrary, but in order to prevent clashes with other organizations' custom tag formats, we use the DNS naming scheme to set the namespace of the tag as "my.rim.com" to establish it as a RIM NDEF message. We further qualify it with a specific sub-type of "myrecordtype" since an organization may define a whole family of custom tag formats for its own use.
So, these settings ensure that these tags will only make sense to our application and not overlap with tags form elsewhere. The "Payload" of the two tags differs in that one has the string "start" and the other has the string "stop" to mark them as ones to be used to start and stop the timers respectively.
In the case of BlackBerry 10, our application registered with the Invocation Framework through the stanza in its "bar-descriptor.xml" file as shown in Figure 1. The "uris" attribute of the "<property … />" tag has been set to the value "ndef://4/my.rim.com/myrecordtype" which a URI format specification of the two tags just described above.
... <invoke-target id="com.example.NfcRaceTimeWay"> <type>APPLICATION</type> <filter> <action>bb.action.OPEN</action> <mime-type>application/vnd.rim.nfc.ndef</mime-type> <property var="uris" value="ndef://4/my.rim.com/myrecordtype"/> </filter> </invoke-target> ...
Figure 1 Registering for tag types in BlackBerry 10
When a "start" or "stop" tag is presented to the handset, then our application is launched if it's not already running, and the tag contents are handled as shown in Figure 2 — where the payload of "start" or "stop" is extracted once we've verified that it's of the correct type.
... void NfcListener::receivedInvokeRequest(const bb::system::InvokeRequest& request) { QByteArray data = request.data(); QtMobilitySubset::QNdefMessage ndefMessage = QtMobilitySubset::QNdefMessage::fromByteArray(data); handleNdefRequest(ndefMessage); } void NfcListener::handleNdefRequest(const QtMobilitySubset::QNdefMessage ndefMessage) { QList::const_iterator ndefRecord; for ( ndefRecord = ndefMessage.begin(); ndefRecord != ndefMessage.end(); ndefRecord++) { if (ndefRecord->typeNameFormat() == QtMobilitySubset::QNdefRecord::ExternalRtd) { if (QString(ndefRecord->type()).compare("my.rim.com:myrecordtype") == 0 ) { emit raceTagDetected(QString(ndefRecord->payload())); } } } } ...
Figure 2 Handling a Start or Stop tag in BlackBerry 10
In the case of BlackBerry 7, registration is achieved in Java® by registering a listener for the specific NDEF message type as shown in Figure 3.
... nfcManager = ReaderWriterManager.getInstance(); nfcManager.addNDEFMessageListener(listener, NDEFRecord.TNF_EXTERNAL, "my.rim.com:myrecordtype", true); ...
Figure 3 Registering for tag types in BlackBerry 7
A similar behaviour is achieved for BlackBerry 7 through the implementation of the "onNDEFMessageDetected()" method of the "NDEFMessageListener" interface as shown in Figure 4.
... public void onNDEFMessageDetected(NDEFMessage msg) { NDEFRecord[] records = msg.getRecords(); int numRecords = records.length; if(numRecords > 0) { byte[] payloadBytes = records[0].getPayload(); try { String ascii_payload = new String(payloadBytes,"US-ASCII"); Utilities.log("XXXX payload="+ascii_payload); if (ascii_payload.equals("start")) { startTimer(); } if (ascii_payload.equals("stop")) { stopTimer(); } } catch(UnsupportedEncodingException e) { Utilities.log("XXXX "+e.getClass().getName()+":"+e.getMessage()); } } } ...
Figure 4 Handling a Start or Stop tag in BlackBerry 7
So, what we've achieved here is the ability to use an external NFC tag to trigger a process in our application. In this case it's simply the starting and stopping of a timer, but it could be extended quite easily to, say, call a web service and integrate the event into a larger workflow process.
What does this look like in practice? Well, here's a short video of the BlackBerry 10 application in action:
[ YouTube link for mobile viewing ]
Virtual Tag Emulation
Let's get back to the original use cases. To implement the second one, we decided to have the BlackBerry handset emulate a virtual tag and allow the contents of the virtual tag to be read by an external NFC reader.
What format of tag should be emulated by the handset? This is what we chose:
1. Virtual tag emulated by the application
NDEF TNF = External ( integer value 4 )
Type = "my.rim.com:myrecordtype"
Payload = "hh:mm:ss"
a. That is the time displayed on the handset in:
Hours (hh)
Minutes (mm)
Seconds (ss)
The type of the virtual tag is exactly the same as for the "start" and "stop" physical tags for the very same reasons, except that the payload is a representation of the current race timer value ("hh:mm:ss") as displayed by the application.
... void NfcListener::startTagEmulation(const QString &tagData) { nfc_ndef_record_t *ndefRecord = makeCustomRecord(QString("my.rim.com"), QString("myrecordtype"), tagData); if (_emulateNdefMessage) { CHECK(nfc_delete_ndef_message(_emulateNdefMessage, true)); _emulateNdefMessage = 0; } CHECK(nfc_create_ndef_message(&_emulateNdefMessage)); CHECK(nfc_add_ndef_record(_emulateNdefMessage, ndefRecord)); CHECK(nfc_start_ndef_tag_emulation(_emulateNdefMessage)); ...
Figure 5 BlackBerry 10 – starting virtual tag emulation
As shown in Figure 5, starting tag emulation in BlackBerry 10 is quite simple. It just involves calling "nfc_start_ndef_tag_emulation()". In addition we can use BPS (BlackBerry Platform Services) to determine when a read on the virtual tag has been successful, as shown here in Figure 6:
... void NfcListener::handleNfcEvent(bps_event_t *event) { uint16_t code = bps_event_get_code(event); if (NFC_VIRTUAL_TAG_SELECTION_EVENT == code) { emit tagEmulationSelectEvent(); } else if (NFC_VIRTUAL_TAG_LEFT_EVENT == code) { emit tagEmulationLeftEvent(); } else if (NFC_VIRTUAL_TAG_READ_EVENT == code) { emit tagEmulationReadEvent(); } } ...
Figure 6 BlackBerry 10 – stopping virtual tag emulation
So, what we've achieved here is the ability to transmit live information from an application in the BlackBerry handset in real time to an external application via an NFC reader. The external application simply displays the time displayed by the BlackBerry application, but it could easily be extended to integrate with some larger workflow process.
Take a look at the video here for a demonstration of this on BlackBerry 10:
[ YouTube link for mobile viewing ]
If you're interested, the virtual tag emulation functionality was tested using an NFC Reader attached to a PC controlled by a Python application using the "PyScard" (Python for Smart Cards) library available from SourceForge.net. (Python and Ruby are my favorite programming languages!)
The two versions of our NFC-enabled "Fun Run" applications are available with full source code from our GitHub repositories here:
Just in closing, it's worth making one or two comments about the relative ease of developing applications to the same set of end user specifications in BlackBerry 10 Cascades™ versus BlackBerry 7 Java. I've been developing code in C/C++ for more years than I care to remember and for a shorter time in Java (but still since the language first saw the light of day), so I feel I'm qualified to make comparisons. I'll be honest: I've found it much easier to develop applications using C/C++ and Cascades. The user interface elements are particularly easy to use, and I've found it possible to get a user interface up and running in Cascades much faster than I would have done in Java. It's much easier to modify and extend since Cascades elements map directly to Qt/Cascades C++ classes and the SIGNAL() / SLOT() model makes it so easy to connect events to handlers.
I'm definitely sold on Cascades, Qt and C/C++!

European Metal Gear fans thinking of purchasing Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Limited Edition are probably aware that this edition is exclusive to UK retailer Zavvi.com. But is it really exclusive to this store?
It's crap I think
Pay £99 for a figure
£6 more expensive then the USA version and they get a cool looking lamp, a soundtrack, a steel book etc
If we got a steel book then fine but we don't so why pay more for just a figure.
@ Root: Yeah, I see what you mean. In the case of Rising, I really prefer the Japanese limited edition, that is the best looking version if you ask me, and the US one is very expensive as well.
Think i'm just gonna stick with the GoW Ascension pre-order. A lot cheaper and has a nice Kratos statue.

Whatever the Weather
30 and Counting
The thermometer hit 30 ABOVE in Devils Lake recently. You would have thought the entire population of Ramsey County had won the lottery. The smiles on everyone's faces were almost as bright as the sunshine that inched those temps upward. Comment after comment of, "Isn't the weather great!", "Grand out there!", "Decided to do some errands since it's so nice outside!"
The effect the weather has on us and our activities here in the mid-west is deep and diverse. On hot summer days, we hope the forecast will include rain for dry, drying up crops. We also hope the rainstorm skirts around an outdoor wedding. We scan the horizon for a few more snowflakes to cushion the snowmobile trails. Still our Christmas wish list includes "no snow during the holidays" so friends and family can safely gather. Weather is not just a safe topic of conversation- it can be only topic of conversation. Anything that pre-empts the cost of gas has to have a large fan club.
So to all the weather forecasters, to all the creators of computer software that generates possible weather scenarios, to the inventor of weather radar, to the designers of the brightly colored weather maps, we in the mid-west offer our heart-felt thanks for providing support to our weather habit. We'll send you a thank you card as soon as we check the updated weather report.

A print-on-demand book publisher commissioned a computerized study of number one best-seller book titles from 1955 to 2004 to look for a pattern that would show how to create a title that book buyers can't resist.
This is not a new subject. A similar study back in the days B. C. (before computers) found that books about Abraham Lincoln, doctors and dogs were the most popular. The conclusion was that the ideal book title was "Lincoln's Doctor's Dog."
A few years ago, the name Da Vinci was a favorite for book namers. Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code," which seemed to have been the number one best seller since, maybe, the Coolidge Administration, stimulated the publishing industry to put out Da Vinci books almost daily.
In the book stores were such titles as "Cracking the Da Vinci Code," "Breaking the Da Vinci Code," "The Da Vinci Deception," "The Da Vinci Hoax," "Saving Da Vinci" and even "Da Vinci for Dummies."
A web newsletter about books organized a roundtable of 11 authors of books responding to "The Da Vinci Code." A succinct comment on the glut was a cartoon in "The New Yorker" that showed a shop with a sign, "The Da Vinci Book Store."
Choosing a good title isn't easy. A writer looking back at doozies like "War and Peace" or "The Last of the Mohicans" or "The Cat in the Hat" knows that he or she had better come up with something with some resonance.
There's an old story about a novice telling a famous author that he needed a good title for his novel.
"Are there any trumpets in your book?" asked the author.
"Any drums?"
"Then, call it, 'No Trumpets, No Drums.'"
That story has been kicking around for years, although nobody ever identifies that famous author. The title "No Trumpets, No Drums" has been used on articles, television series episodes, books, films, music, a board game and even an Israel-Palestine peace plan. Type the phrase into Google and you'll get 2,730,000 results.
I don't think the trumpet and drum deficiency ever created a best-selling work, however. Da Vinci did, however, and there was chatter among publishing practitioners about a search for "the next Da Vinci Code."
That study of best—sellers produced a computer model. Authors can type the name of their book on the publisher's website and receive an estimate of the percentage of chance that it will be a best-seller.
I tried it. "The Da Vinci Code" got only a 10.2 percent rating. The "No Trumpets" title and the Lincoln, medical and canine book both rated 14.6 percent. "Moby Dick" got 41.4, and "Huckleberry Finn" 45.6.
The successor to Da Vinci probably was Harry Potter. The computer analysis gave Harry's name a 14.6 chance of being a best seller. So much for computer analysis.
Anybody who wants to devise an irresistible book title could just combine the Da Vinci or Potter names with a best-selling title of the past. How about "Huckleberry Da Vinci," "War and Potter," "Gone With Da Vinci," "Moby Potter," "Uncle Leonardo's Cabin," or "Five People Named Potter You Meet on Tuesdays."

It goes without saying that I am waiting for this one. Manglobe kicked some ass with Samurai Champloo and I am darn sure Ergo Proxy will be good as well. 8)
Also, I think this should go in DVD and Licensed, since this is a Geneon USA production.

Well, so far 2006 has been lacking in good anime, but you have to be fair to the last year, which had a plethora of big budget series. Comte de Monte-Cristo, Advent Children, Air... just to name a few.

Is it true this is the first ever anime to be animated in true High Definition? So potentially the first anime to really see benefits of Blu-Ray / HD-DVD?
Btw, I have seen the raw invitation extended trailer, but not sure if they mentioned anything there.
And, working in the animation industry, we regularly use HD resolutions (2560 x 1440), but that only means the picture will just be downscaled to regular DVD res. Curious as to what resolutions these guys are dealing with.

The second introduction mainly dealt with the technical aspect of creation of Ergo Proxy. We got to meet the director, the writer, the character designer, some animators.
It was interesting, if you want to see how an animation studio looks like.

Ok...when is this airing again? Also I wonder if there's a chance in hell that we could get a subforum for this thing... *crosses-fingers* This by far seems to be the most visually challenging anime and once every few years type of production...It'll be a shame if more people don't know about it...Anyways I thought it was airing last week...What's the deal?

Don't you think I know that?? I was trying to let that fact slide as to create a scenerio where more people could get interested (I know i'm more inclined to watch shows that have forum so that I can join the discussion)...thanx for exposing this fact (which I was trying to get pass )...Thought it would get exposed, but in the first post reply, sheeeesh....Wanted to see if a couple guppies were gonna bite at it first...Somehow we got to get this anime more exposure...

Lease option sales were very popular during the mid to later part of the 20th century. They were commonly used to get around alienation clauses that were written into mortgages. Proponents of these types of sales claim that these were not really sales, they were really leases. However, the judicial system did not agree.
Today's system uses several financing instruments in the leasing and selling of a property. These options are:
Lease options
Lease purchase agreements
These documents are all subject to state laws, and each state has its own individual laws.
Before the buyer and seller enter into an agreement, the buyer should seek the advice of a reputable real estate lawyer. The following information is a brief overview and should not be considered legal advice.
Options - The Basics
In this type of real estate transaction, the buyer gives the seller what is known as option money. This money is to be used to give the buyer the right to purchase the property at a later date. The amount of the option money can be as little as one dollar.
The seller and the buyer may then decide on a purchase price, or the buyer may offer the seller the market value of the property at the time the option money was accepted by the seller.
Option agreements are typically negotiable, but generally lasts between one and three years. It is also important to note that option money is typically non-refundable, and the buyer can sell the option to another party. here
Lease Option �" The Basics
With this type of real estate Sellmyhousefast2 purchase, the buyer gives the seller option money to purchase read more the property at a later time. The money for the Sellmyhousefast2read more lease option could be very substantial.
The buyer and the seller may decide on a purchase price during this time, or the buyer may choose to pay the market price for the value when the option is exercised. This can be negotiable, but most buyers will prefer to lock the future purchase price during the inception of the lease option.
The terms of the lease option will state that the buyer agrees to rent (lease) the property from the seller for a predetermined time. The option fee is not commonly used towards the down payment, and a portion of the monthly rental payment is applied towards the purchase price.
During the lease term period, no one else can buy the property. The buyer is not obligated to purchase the property after the term of the lease agreement is over, and the option expires.
The Advantages Of A Lease Purchase
Lease purchase agreements are typically offered for properties that have been deemed 'difficult to sell'. It seem logical because if the property was easy to sell, the seller would work with a conventional buyer and get paid in cash upfront.
However, the advantage from a seller's perspective is that they still get market value for the property. They also no longer have to pay a mortgage on a property that is vacant.
Buyers can make a smaller down payment, and there are less qualifying restrictions. This makes lease purchase an attractive option for those looking to buy a home.

When contacting us, please provide the following information:
Having this information can allow us to attempt to answer your question expeditiously.
The Office of Residence Life and Housing Services recognizes the major life adjustment it is to send your student away to college. For many, this transition represents the first time away from home for an extended period of time for your student. For some, it represents the first time that your student will be sharing a space with someone else. For others, it represents an opportunity for your student to become responsible for themselves by learning to ask questions and seek out answers to their questions or concerns. All of this transition is bound to fill a parent with concern for their student.
Welcome to "Especially for Parents"…the Campus Arrival Website section JUST FOR YOU! In it we provide you with some guidelines to make the upcoming transition as smooth as possible for your student AND for yourselves!
Parental involvement can be a major key in the success of a student. Despite the fact that many students are legally of age, the majority of students benefit from their parents support, involvement, and direction. This important component must be balanced with the parent letting go of performing responsibilities the student can do for themselves. For example, students can and should meet with their advisor to make academic scheduling plans. It is best that the student learn to negotiate institutional systems on their own to get their desires and needs met to attain their goals.
Most difficulties students encounter fall within the normal range of experience and they can maneuver through the trial to success on their own. When students do this they can feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. Please note that success is not that the student gets what they want every time. This is not realistic in society as a whole. In fact learning how to make hard decisions is a basic matter of life. For example, I do not get along with my roommate and I feel miserable. If I move I will miss my friends on the floor. The student needs to decide to stay with the friends and deal with the roommate or move from the room and solve the roommate issue but not live close to his/her friends. Their ideal situation might be that their roommate leaves campus all together. However this is highly unlikely and the student is left to make the best decision for him or herself.
Parents should listen to their student and determine if the trial falls within the normal range of experiences that most college students undergo. If it does and their student is equipped to handle the matter, they should listen first, generate ideas and outcomes with their student, suggest that they use campus resources, and finally let their student make the final decision.
When the trial falls out of the range of normal experience or the parent feels that their student cannot handle the trial or is not handling the trial in a productive way over a certain amount of time, then the parent is advised to use campus resources for his or her student. Please keep in mind that the ideal is that your son or daughter learn to manage their own lives. Some examples to determine parental involvement are when the student is being sexually harassed, physically abused, or experiencing racism, etc. The West Chester University Community along with you and your student can work to generate positive outcomes.
Finally, the University desires that your student has a positive experience and successfully complete their goals here at West Chester University. We have put in place resources to aid them in their pursuits. Any employee of West Chester University will be happy to assist you to help your student. If you are ever in doubt of what options are available or where your student can get information, please do not hesitate to call our office.
Since most of the students we are responsible for on campus are at least 18 years of age, the University is restricted as to what information we can legally share with others. In the case of standard illness, we would expect that students would inform their parents or guardians of the situation and would take advantage of the services available on campus in the Student Health Center. For acute issues, notification may be made through the Emergency Room at the local hospital or through the University Department of Public Safety.

Hello, I want to fix my icons (starter) on the desktop. Especially the fact that the removable device icons will pop up where they want (after mounting) makes me a little bit grazy. Is there somebody who knows a solution? Thank you very much!
Don't know if this helps, but on my Debian xfce4 desktop the icons are controlled by configuration files in ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/
One file, xfdesktoprc, lists the icons as follows:
I did not want the removables on the screen, so I edited the reading to "false". Also on my system the file did not exist, so I had to create it.
Another file, icons.screen0.rc, places the icons on the screen according to a matrix numbered with 0,0 as top row, left column, 1,1 as second row, second column, and so on. Just change the numbers under the listed items to get the place that you want.

US drone strike kills six in Pakistan: officials
A US drone strike killed at least six suspected militants in Pakistan Wednesday, officials said, the first such attack since President Barack Obama laid out new guidelines for the controversial tactic.world Updated: May 29, 2013 13:19 IST
A US drone strike killed at least six suspected militants in Pakistan Wednesday, officials said, the first such attack since President Barack Obama laid out new guidelines for the controversial tactic.
The attack on Chashma village near Miranshah, the main town of lawless North Waziristan district, a stronghold of Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked militants on the Afghan border, wounded two others, officials said.
Security sources said a senior Pakistani Taliban commander was among the dead, though his identity has not been confirmed.
"At least six militants have been killed and two wounded," one security official in Miranshah told AFP.
A second security official confirmed the death toll and told AFP that most of the dead bodies were badly mutilated.
A resident in Miranshah said he saw militants carrying six coffins in vehicles and sending them to Chashma village, some two kilometres (one mile) east of Miranshah.
Drone strikes have been unpopular in Pakistan, where the government publicly denounces them as illegal and a violation of sovereignty, but Washington believes they have been effective in wiping out Taliban and Al-Qaeda leaders.
Obama last week defended the legality of the CIA-run strikes, which began in Pakistan in 2004 but became more frequent during his presidency, but outlined new rules for their use.
The guidelines say drone strikes can only be used to prevent imminent attacks, when the capture of a suspect is not feasible and if there is a "near certainty" that civilians will not be killed.
Responding to Obama's speech, the Pakistani foreign ministry repeated its long-held view that US drone strikes are illegal and counterproductive.
Leaked diplomatic cables and a television interview by former military ruler Pervez Musharraf have however indicated that Islamabad has privately approved the strikes in the past.
Wednesday's attack was also the first since Pakistan's May 11 general election, won by the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) of Nawaz Sharif.
Sharif, due to assume office on June 5, has called the drone strikes a "challenge" to his country's sovereignty and said Washington must take Pakistani concerns seriously.
According to Britain's Bureau of Investigative Journalism, CIA drone attacks targeting suspected Al-Qaeda and Taliban militants in Pakistan have killed up to 3,587 people since 2004, including up to 884 civilians.
The frequency of drone strikes in Pakistan has tailed off in recent months, the last coming on April 17.
On Sunday US Secretary of State John Kerry said this was because the tactic had "been so successful in rooting out Al-Qaeda in Pakistan" and was only used after targets were confirmed "at the highest levels".

Two things came to mind today when official word broke that the Detroit Red Wings had signed winger Todd Bertuzzi for a second tour of duty in the Motor City.
The first was the old line from journeyman baseball player and self-deprecating raconteur Bob Uecker, who during his modest career had two separate stints with the Braves.
"They couldn't believe how bad I was the first time," quipped Uecker, "so I guess they brought me back just to make sure."
The second thing to consider is that the list of players who have had trouble finding work after spending time with the Flames has been reduced by one. With Bertuzzi now (more or less) gainfully employed, the members of the 2008-09 Flames squad still out of an NHL job are Andre Roy and, if you want to stretch a point, Anders Eriksson, and if you want to stretch a point even further, Rhett Warrener.
Whether it's because Darryl Sutter has a penchant for using veterans to cross the "T" on his roster or just a fluke, Calgary in recent seasons has become the last stop for a number of players.
For instance, 2007-08 was the last the NHL saw of Marcus Nilson and Mark Smith.
After 2006-07, Tony Amonte, Jamie McLennan, Jeff Friesen and Brad Ference all made the segue from the Flames to retirement, Europe or minor-league obscurity. The year before that, it was Bryan Marchment, Cale Hulse, Jeff Friesen and Mike LeClerc. After the Stanley Cup run of '04, Roman Turek and Dave Lowry said good-bye to the NHL.
Calgary's elephant graveyard list would have been even longer had Curtis Joseph, Krzysztof Oliwa and Darren McCarty not squeezed in a few games in cameo returns to previous clubs (Toronto, New Jersey and Detroit, respectively) before continuing the ride into the sunset.
What's the point? None, really – it's just interesting that circumstances and Sutter's modus operandi have been such that the Flames have recently been ending more NHL careers than torn ACLs and Battlefield Earth combined.
But it's not like the Flames have been the only team plucking players from the scrap heap to fill our their roster. The Vancouver Canucks, just to name a club, have been forced to forage for defencemen in recent years because of injuries on the back end. They're also forever on the lookout for a winger to complement the Sedins since Anson Carter's departure, which has resulted in a seemingly endless parade of auditions from the likes of Jan Bulis and Taylor Pyatt.
Just for the hell of it, here's a quick look at the number of players whose NHL careers have ended (or presumably ended) with Western Canadian clubs over the past five seasons. For the purposes of this exercise, only players who had played at least 100 previous games in the NHL were considered (i.e. minor-leaguers such as Richie Regehr, Dan Smith and Tyler Bouck who made semi-regular coffee runs in the big leagues don't count).
Following 2003-04 season
Calgary (2): Dave Lowry, Roman Turek
Edmonton (1): Adam Oates
Vancouver (5): Artem Chubarov, Mike Keane, Magnus Arvedson, Marc Bergevin, Sean Pronger

Isn't she a cutie? Love the innocence on her face! Now my Bambola doll, Anthee, has a sister to play with.
Got another cool toy too from the awesome parental units. It's what's taking these perfectly clear wonderful photos with the roses that I didn't have to edit for lighting or color, just shrunken in size. All in all, it was a good Sunday even though I missed the supposed super moon at dawn.

Australia have been humiliated by Zimbabwe in the most shambolic performance of the Darren Lehmann era.
Australia's first ODI loss to the African minnows in 31 years was a disaster from the selection table to the playing field and could have far more serious consequences than plummeting from first to fourth in the world rankings.
Captain Michael Clarke is on the next plane home after re-injuring his hamstring during his brave knock of 68 not out in Australia's 9-209, which was chased down with three wickets and 12 balls to spare.
Clarke will now be racing the clock to prove his fitness for October's Test tour against Pakistan in the UAE.
Capitulating against a team that can't afford assistant coaches, and whose players must work second jobs, sits alongside the infamous 50-over loss to Bangladesh in 2005 and the 1983 World Cup defeat at the hands of Zimbabwe as a historic low for Australian cricket.
Six days earlier Australia punished 10th-ranked Zimbabwe by 198 runs.
"There's probably not enough expletives in the English language at the moment for the way I'm feeling," said Lehmann.
"It's just embarrassing for everyone involved in the touring party, and I hope they're hurting.
"They should be."
The only thing raging more than the turn at the Harare Sports Club were the fans packed into the stands, as Zimbabwean pair Elton Chigumbura (52 not out) and Prosper Utseya (30no) starred under pressure and made Australia pay for their poorly balanced attack.
Nathan Lyon took 4-44 but had no quality spin options to support him.
After experiencing the high of momentous Test series wins over England and South Africa earlier this year, Australia have been given a sobering reality check about their batting deficiencies against spin and their fragile skipper's long-term durability.
Both are a major concern heading into the Test and limited overs tour against Pakistan.
As is the fact they're no certainties to make Saturday's tri-series final against South Africa, and the one-day World Cup is creeping up early next year.
"We've got to learn really quickly because teams are going to see that and they're going to react to it," he said.
Clarke - one of only three of Australian players alive when the country last lost to Zimbabwe in an ODI - has been ruled out of the rest of the tour after re-aggravating the left-hamstring which ruled him out of the first two matches.
The 33-year-old played through the pain barrier but was only supported by Brad Haddin's 49 and Ben Cutting's quick-fire 26 - as Australia were made to regret their decision to bat first.
Despite hobbling between wickets and retiring hurt, Clarke returned to bat with two balls to spare, came on to field after 18 overs and even bowled an over in desperation at the death.
However, with so much cricket to come over the next 12 months, the decision to bring Clarke back at all this series has to be queried.
It wasn't the only calculated risk that backfired.
Selectors left out Steve Smith, a quality player of spin and handy part-time leg-spinner, in favour of pace allrounder James Faulkner, who was out for a golden duck and later floundered with the ball.
Zimbabwe's spin battalion combined to take 6-117 from 36 overs.
"By the end of the result, we probably thought we did get it wrong," said Lehmann of selections.
"But if we can't beat Zimbabwe with that side we've got problems, so we've got to sort them out."
*Lost by 13 runs to Zimbabwe in World Cup of 1983 in Nottingham
*Lost by 5 wickets to Bangladesh in Cardiff ODI in 2005
*Lost by an innings and 41 runs to New Zealand and went on to lose the 1985 Test series
*Lost by 5 wickets to Zimbabwe in 2007 World Twenty20
*Lost by 73 runs to India in this year's World Twenty20
*Lost by an innings and 157 runs against England in Melbourne on 2010 Ashes tour

Former Motörhead guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke has died at the age of 67.
The rocker, who played in the group during the late 1970s and early 1980s heyday, passed away on Wednesday in a hospital, where he was being treated for pneumonia.
After the deaths of original drummer Phil Taylor and frontman Lemmy in 2015, he was the only surviving member of the legendary metal band's classic line-up.
Motörhead confirmed Eddie's death in a statement on their Facebook page, writing that they were "devastated" at the news.
Guitarist Phil Campbell, who joined the band in 1984, two years after Eddie's departure, commented, "Just Heard the sad news that Fast Eddie Clark (sic) has passed away. Such a shock. He will be remembered for his iconic riffs and was a true rock and roller."
Drummer Mikkey Dee added, "This is terrible news, the last of the three amigos. I saw Eddie not long ago and he was in great shape. So this is a complete shock. Me and Eddie always hit it off great."
Clarke, Phil Taylor and Lemmy formed the iconic Motörhead line-up that released hits including their 1980 classic "Ace of Spades" and their self-titled signature track.
He left the group in 1982 after taking issue with the band's musical direction and formed a new one, Fastway. His new band's final release was 2011's Eat Dog Eat, while Eddie's final studio album was a 2014 solo effort called Make My Day - Back To Blues.
Lemmy continued to front Motörhead with a variety of line-ups until his death in December 2015, when the group disbanded.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 18, 2009) - A Sam Bryan (Caldy, England) goal in the 85th minute gave the ETSU men's soccer team a 1-0 win against King College in an exhibition match on a rainy Tuesday night in Bristol, Tenn.
"We played really well, and this was a good first test for our players," said head coach Scott Calabrese. "The fact that King had a good crowd at the game, because of freshmen orientation dinner made it an exciting atmosphere for us to play in."
Freshman Alesi Osorio (
The Bucs had several opportunities in the first half including a brilliant shot by Sean Hoek (
"We got quality play from both our keepers in the match," Calabrese said. "Playing a competitive match early in the season is great for out growth, and a good eye opener for our freshmen to see what college soccer is all about."
