INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — When a house two blocks away exploded with a deafening boom, the staggering force knocked Billie Chipman to the floor. The freckled 16-year-old hasn't slept since.
"I was walking to the couch and I fell," she said Thursday. As clocks and pictures rained down off the walls late Saturday, "I put a blanket over my face and screamed."
The teen spends evenings in her room, dodging sleep and the nightmares that follow. Even in the November sunshine, her dark eyes remain haunted by the thought there might be another explosion.
Her father, Barry, said the neighborhood is growing impatient for answers about Saturday night's fiery blast, which killed two people and left the Richmond Hill subdivision strewn with debris and several homes in ruins.
"We want to know what the hell happened, so we can get back to normal," he said Thursday as he waited for city code enforcement officials to inspect his home.
Investigators believe the explosion was caused by natural gas, and they're focusing on gas appliances in the homes in the center of the blast zone.
Fire Capt. Rita Burris said investigators, who have been laboring through the night under spotlights, hope to wrap up their work at the scene by the end of the week, although they aren't putting a timeline on determining what caused the blast.
Burris said repairs or demolition can't begin until the investigators finish their work at the scene.
"Until they say jump, nobody else can do anything," she said.
Engineers or insurance adjusters have assessed most of the homes damaged in the explosion, with the exception of about a dozen that require structural bracing and another 11 near the core of the explosion, of which little remains.
City code enforcement official Adam Collins said his agency hopes to have homes braced by Monday so their residents can return with insurance adjusters to assess damage and determine what's next.
Most residents, even those with heavily damaged homes, have been allowed inside on a careful, limited basis to retrieve necessities, such as toiletries and credit cards, Collins said.
Some, like Chipman, never left. He said a police officer who lives nearby advised him to leave in case there was another explosion, and many neighbors did. But many didn't, Chipman said.
"More people stayed than anybody realized," he said.
Chipman is quick to say he is one of the lucky ones. His home's damage was limited to a dented garage door and a couple of holes — including a hole in the ceiling of the room he's set up as a shrine to former Indiana University basketball coach Bob Knight.
Other residents weren't so lucky.
Tony Burnett, a 49-year-old electronics engineer who lives across the street from the blast zone, said part of his home was twisted off its foundation and one of his three cars was declared totaled by an insurance claims adjuster. The others haven't been inspected.
"The cars are still there, where we'd parked them. We're not allowed to move them," Burnett said.
On Thursday, the Marion County coroner's office said it used dental records to positively identify the two people killed in the explosion: 36-year-old Jennifer Longworth and her 34-year-old husband, John Dion Longworth.
The cause of their deaths has not been determined, but they had been presumed dead, as their home was destroyed in Saturday's explosion.
Jennifer Longworth taught second grade at Southwest Elementary School in Greenwood, just south of Indianapolis. Her husband was the director of product development and technology for tech company Indy Audio Labs.
Funeral services are scheduled for Monday at St. Barnabas Catholic Church — the Indianapolis church where they were married 11 years ago.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. >> Notre Dame was hardly a vintage version of itself Saturday night and played most of the second half without its quarterback.
But none of that really mattered because USC's offensive line and curious playcalling were enough to let the Irish escape with a 14-10 victory over the Trojans before 80,795 at Notre Dame Stadium.
"This loss is killing me and I'm trying to hide it," said USC quarterback Cody Kessler, who looked more down than at any time this season. "It (stinks) it didn't turn out the way we wanted. We laid if all out there on the field."
These rivalry games are remembered forever by players and fans and to lose a game to a Notre Dame offense rendered inept by the loss of quarterback Tommy Rees will likely be fretted for many years. The Trojans basically squandered a chance to take back control of the rivalry and now have lost three of the past four meetings with the Irish.
If USC's offense were only passable, the Trojans would have won easily. Instead, USC failed on its final 11 third-down conversions. The offensive line was particularly woeful with holding and false-start penalties ruining drive after drive.
"Honestly, I thought a lot of our guys were pretty (angry) about those calls but we'll see what the film says," offensive tackle Kevin Graf said. "It's frustrating. You see a lot of guys in (the locker room) really upset. This is the last time I'll get to be in this place and it's very upsetting."
USC (4-3) could try to blame the referees but it was a Pacific-12 Conference crew so no one could say it was a Notre Dame conspiracy.
And Notre Dame (5-2) had nothing to do with two strange calls that changed the course of the game.
The biggest play of the game for the Trojans was an ill-conceived Wildcat formation with the little-used Javorius Allen at quarterback on third-and-goal at the Notre Dame 3-yard line. Allen lost a yard and the Trojans settled for a field goal.
That deprived the Trojans of a touchdown that would have allowed them to be tied instead of trailing the Irish for most of the second-and-third quarters.
Another questionable call occurred with 9:25 left in the game when the Trojans had a fourth-and-5 at the Notre Dame 28. Orgeron elected to kick a field goal and kicker Andre Heidari's attempt was well short. USC trailed 14-10 and a field goal did little good.
"It was really close," Orgeron said of the decision to go for the field goal over going for a first down. "We think we can get the points and maybe get the ball back. That was the conversation."
Heidari had already missed a 40-yard attempt and is clearly struggling this season which made the decision even more suspect.
The Trojans' offense was especially awful in the third quarter, gaining only 32 yards in 13 plays. USC missed on nine straight third-down conversions and looked out of sorts with Kessler making several bad throws including an interception.
One play that typified the offensive line was when Kessler scrambled for either a touchdown or run to the 1-yard line. But the officials flagged offensive guard Aundrey Walker for a holding penalty.
"It wasn't a hold," Walker said. "The ref called it and you have to move on."
What about the myriad other holds an false starts?
"I can't worry about that," Walker said. "It happened."
USC's defense was not faultless in the first half. The biggest problem was covering tight end Troy Niklas, who chose the Irish over USC when he was a senior at Servite High School in Anaheim. Curiously, the Trojans often had 5-foot-8 cornerback Anthony Brown covering the 6-6 Niklas.
But in the end, Notre Dame did not even need to score in the second half to defeat USC. That might be the most frustrating aspect for the Trojans.
"It hurts," safety Dion Bailey said. "We felt like we had the game won until there were zeroes on the clock."

Road-rage incident ends in arrest
Road-rage incident ends in arrest
NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. —
An Edgewater motorist is accused of deliberately backing into a man who had gotten off his motorcycle to confront him following a road-rage incident in New Smyrna Beach.
Police said 40-year-old Robert Rabanal fled, but was stopped by friends of the victim who were in the area from Vero Beach for Bike Week.
The victim said when his motorcycle stalled on State Road 44, Rabanal impatiently drove around him, nearly hitting him.
Investigators said the victim caught up with Rabanal at a red light and got off his motorcycle to approach Rabanal's window.
Rabanal accelerated to get away but was stopped by traffic and drove backwards right into the victim, according to authorities.
Rabanal is charged with aggravated battery.

Steve Jobs had it right: Startups should make a dent in the universe. Big ideas attract the top teams. Big ideas keep the teams going through the inevitable hard times. Big ideas with top teams change the world. For decades, the life blood of Silicon Valley was great teams working on big ideas.
But recently, as Jon Evans at TechCrunch points out, the Valley is increasingly fascinated with "the big distraction of entertainment." I could not agree more.
Silicon Valley has lost its way. Stop screwing around in the small pond of media and advertising and tackle big industries and real problems. Heck, why not invent a new industry? Did you know in New York City there are at least a dozen companies that have sprung up around the "personal replicators industry" aka 3D printing ( MakerBot , Quirky, Shapeways etc.).
Did you know that all Media, (including NBC, CBS, Google, AOL, ESPN, every radio station, every magazine and every advertising agency) only represents about 2.5% of GDP? The Valley has become obsessed with "selling sugar water."
The world needs Silicon Valley back.
Energy, Finance, Healthcare, Education… that is where the BIG problems are. (BTW: Facebook already has $470M in financial service revenue from Facebook Credits).
How do you expect to attract great talent if you are not substantially improving the world? Is it pay? Has Silicon Valley become filled with "technology whores" like the East Coast hedge funds they like to make fun of? As an entrepreneur, changing the world is what keeps me going. Building a company is hard work. How can you work 80+hr weeks if the outcome is: it's easier to buy crap you don't need online (aka sugar water).
Credit, Savings, Insurance and Payments are Huge. Sean Park has a great post on "digitally native finance." At my startup, Lenddo.com, we are using the social graph to improve people's lives and restructure finance. Members are using their online reputation to prove identity and access credit in regions where there is little access to credit. Every day members are able to get education for loved ones, medicine for family members, and shelter for relatives. Tangible life improvements. Our team sees how we will impact millions. This is why you have a start-up! This is the power of technology!
At Aristotle Circle, where I am an Angel, they are using technology to build a network of peers and experts to radically improve educational outcomes. Other companies are using algorithms for adaptive/dynamic course material to tailor online material to the specific pace, medium and style of each individual learner. Today about 5.5% of GDP goes to public education which does not include private universities and corporate training. What happens when education cost half as much, or is twice as good? Technology combined with entrepreneurship will show us.
Health Care:
We waste more in healthcare then we spend in media..come on. We spend around 16% of GDP on healthcare in the US, and baby boomers are not getting younger. Did you know computational linguistics combined with analysis of social media is being used to guide drug discovery? If you are great at math or engineering, why would you be optimizing online photos, when you could be extending human lifespan? Why not ask a health care entrepreneur?
Don't worry about Energy; why would we want to have more of that?
Don't get me wrong. I love Silicon Valley. The Valley had a great run with semiconductors, PCs and the Internet. They did a fine job "taking on" media. The Media Industry is Powerful, but they are pussycats (or leave off the cats) when compared to Wall Street, The Teachers Union, Health Insurance Companies, Big Pharma, and Energy.
My friend in Silicon Valley once gave me sound advice: "Jeff, as a tech-entrepreneur you need to be back here in Silicon Valley at least every 30 days" He was absolutely correct. There is nothing like the innovative energy and echo chamber of northern California. I go often, and every trip is time well spent.
Now my advice for Silicon Valley: Get out of the echo chamber at least once a month. See what is going on in Finance, Education, Health Care, Energy and "personal replicators."
It's time to think big again.

WASHINGTON – Navajo and Hopi leaders were in Washington this week meeting with federal officials and lawmakers over what steps, if any, can be taken to revive a $350 million water-rights bill that stalled this summer.
At issue is a complex proposal to settle the tribes' claims to water from the Little Colorado River. The vehicle for that agreement was Sen. Jon Kyl's bill, which would have built three drinking water projects on the reservations in exchange for the tribes relinquishing future water-rights claims in the basin.
The Arizona Republican's bill initially had support from leaders of both tribes, but was rejected by tribal councils this summer in the face of strong opposition from tribal members who called it a violation of Native sovereignty.
But on Wednesday, Navajo President Ben Shelly, Hopi Chairman LeRoy Shingoitewa and other tribal leaders met with Kyl, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs Kevin Washburn, in what Salazar called a "historic" meeting to find a path to an agreement.
"It is my hope that over the coming days and weeks that we may work together to finalize the details of a settlement that will deliver critical water, infrastructure and economic development to the Navajo and Hopi people," Salazar said in a prepared statement.
And though the Hopi Nation identified "some differences" at the meeting, Shingoitewa said Thursday he is hopeful a settlement can be reached.
"We are here on behalf of the Hopi to hopefully bring 'wet water' to our … lands," Shingoitewa said.
The meeting drew an angry reaction from an organizer of a Hopi grassroots group that opposes the Kyl bill.
Ben Nuvamsa called Shingoitewa's Washington meeting a breach of both the tribe's constitution and a June 15 resolution that requires the tribal council to confer with the people before negotiating a new deal. Nuvamsa, a former Hopi chairman, said the council did not notify anyone about Wednesday's meeting.
"This was all done secretly," Nuvamsa said.
Shingoitewa said the meeting was not secret and that participants talked about the settlement and not just Kyl's bill, S2109, which is what the resolution addressed.
Kyl said in a prepared statement Wednesday that he thinks an opportunity to work on a "collaborative solution" that would bring drinking water infrastructure to the tribes still exists.
"I believe that the needs of the Navajo and Hopi people are far too great for the parties to simply wait for the state courts to issue a paper water decree," Kyl's statement said.
Kyl, who introduced the bill this spring with fellow Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, is running out of time to pass a measure. He did not seek re-election and will retire from Congress at the end of this year.
Salazar said in his statement that Wednesday's meeting was a productive one that would "lay the groundwork for a fair and mutually beneficial agreement that the two tribes, the United States and the state parties can agree on." He said any deal would respect the sovereignty of the tribes.
But to Nuvamsa, the cultural, spiritual and physical survival of his people depends heavily on the decisions made in any water-rights agreement. He said he has called an emergency meeting between village leaders, tribal leaders and concerned members to demand an explanation from Shingoitewa.
And he said there is no chance he is going to stop resisting negotiations on the bill.
"Even if I have to pursue litigation," Nuvamsa said.

Before switching to Mercedes for 2013, the long-time former McLaren driver expressed interest in joining Red Bull, whose Sebastian Vettel has won the world championship three times on the trot.
But back in 2007, Briton Hamilton fell out spectacularly with his then teammate Fernando Alonso.
Dr Helmut Marko, now grappling with the disintegrating relationship between Vettel and Mark Webber, said it's simply a problem when two "alpha dogs" clash.
But Hamilton told the Daily Mail: "Now I'm older, I'm sure we would have a different relationship."
Referring to himself and Spaniard Alonso, he added: "There would still be intense moments because we are both quick, so we would be very close to each other, but we've both matured a lot.
"I think I'm much better at nurturing relationships between teammates now. It depends on the drivers.
"Put Sebastian with Fernando Alonso and the team would be in trouble straight away, the chemistry would just ... (Hamilton whistles).
"You know, I even think I could drive with Sebastian," Hamilton mused. "I just wouldn't turn the engine down."
No longer under the control of McLaren supremo Ron Dennis or his father Anthony, Hamilton also says he has learned to cope with criticism.
A good example is the last few months, when Sir Jackie Stewart initially slammed Hamilton's move to Mercedes, and then tipped the 28-year-old as a title favourite for 2013.
"I think I've definitely developed a thicker skin," said Hamilton.
"At the start, it's easier to get stung. I'm more consistent now because my mental strength has improved. So when Jackie Stewart talks about me, I just laugh it off.
"Some people are nosey, or they've nothing better to do. They're entitled to their opinions, but Jackie talks a lot."

Perusing our friend Timberwraith's blog, Haunted Timber, I came across an amazing story I had to share. It is about two 24 year old Swedish parents who are raising their child not as a boy or a girl, but as a child. I recommend reading what Timberwraith had to say here. You can go here to read the story in english, or here for some Swedish.
Let me start by saying that this was not intended to be a Pseudoscience Chronicles post (I just enjoyed the story) until I read what one of the interviewees had to say ten paragraphs in. I was shocked at first by what Susan Pinker said (in the english version of the story), but then was not surprised to find out that she is a psychologist and journalist:
'"Ignoring children's natures simply doesn't work," says Susan Pinker, a psychologist and newspaper columnist from Toronto, Canada, who wrote the book The Sexual Paradox, which focuses on sex differences in the workplace.'
'"Child-rearing should not be about providing an opportunity to prove an ideological point, but about responding to each child's needs as an individual," Pinker tells The Local.'
It's ironic how she claims that raising a child should be about responding to each child's individual needs, then goes on to say we should force children into preconceived gender-roles. If anything, keeping the child's sex a secret allows the parents to respond to their child's actual needs rather than the artificial needs implanted by a cultural construction that attempts to fit every single person in the world into one of two restricted categories. So I guess what she was actually trying to say was that child-rearing should only be about providing an opportunity to prove an ideological point if that ideological point is 'gender exists get used to it'.
Pinker goes on to make some more crazy claims:
'"I don't think that trying to keep a child's sex a secret will fool anyone, nor do I think it's wise or ethical," says Pinker. "As with any family secret, when we try to keep an elemental truth from children, it usually blows up in the parent's face, via psychosomatic illness or rebellious behaviour."'
Of course, the parents are not keeping any truth from the child (I don't even know how they would do that). They are simply allowing the child to grow into what it wants to be. They are responding to their child's needs as an individual. They are being good parents.
With that, I would like to welcome Susan Pinker to the Pseudoscience Chronicles.

Obama Administration: Shield Law Should Only Protect Journalists If We Don't Care About The Story
from the um...-wait-a-second... dept
Either way, it might not matter at all. Apparently, even after all this, the Obama administration is asking for more concessions, such as not allowing any shield protection on any instance where the administration declares that the matter involves "significant" harm to national security. Now, you can understand why the administration would want that, but there's absolutely no oversight. Basically, under the administration's proposal, if the administration simply said there was such harm, the judge would immediately wipe out the shield.
If you want to create a chilling effect against any sort of whistleblowing on gov't corruption, that's what this proposal does. It basically lets the gov't say that the shield law only applies to whistleblowing that doesn't make the administration look bad. But, in any case where the administration isn't happy, it gets to wipe out the shield. Apparently, freedom of the press only applies to situations in which the administration is not embarrassed.

Prosecutors: Phone calls to homes link serial burglar to break-insBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
October 09. 2013 9:49PM
BRENTWOOD — An alleged serial burglar who prosecutors say called his victims to see if they were home testified that he had nothing to do with breaking into seven homes in Rockingham County.
Joshua Fowler, 34, formerly of Sandown and Derry, is on trial for playing a role in the break-ins that happened at homes in Derry, Londonderry and Hampstead between October 2009 and March 2010.
He is accused of either burglarizing the homes on his own, or working as an accomplice.
Prosecutors said Wednesday that a key piece of evidence against Fowler was his cell phone calls made to the targeted homes prior to the break-ins.
"It's a classic circumstantial case," Assistant County Attorney Jerome Blanchard told a judge Wednesday.
Judge N. William Delker rejected calls by defense lawyer Mark Stevens to dismiss the seven felony counts of burglary, saying jurors had enough evidence to decide the case.
Fowler was among the last witnesses called to the stand on Wednesday in Rockingham County Superior Court.
He told jurors that he would never commit a burglary.
"I would never do that," Fowler testified. "My house got broken into when I was a kid and it's the worse feeling in the world."
Fowler testified that rather than breaking into homes, he earned his own money driving a delivery truck for a bakery in Haverhill, Mass., and installing tiled floors on the side.
"I was working two jobs at the time and had my tax return of 11 grand," Fowler testified. "I didn't need any money."
But sometimes, he told jurors, he did loan one of his cell phones to a friend, which was later connected to the break-ins.
"I have no reason why that phone would be calling those residences," Fowler testified. "I was not in possession of it."
Homeowners and police were called to testify about the stolen merchandise, which included jewelry, a Macintosh laptop computer and a LCD flat screen television.
Blanchard confronted Fowler about the phone calls made to the homes on his cell phone, and trips to pawn shops that Fowler made that year.
Fowler testified that two valuables he sold — a Claddagh ring and a bar of silver — were not stolen but were given to him by his parents.
Blanchard confronted Fowler citing the testimony of homeowners who claimed the valuables belonged to them.
"Anyone can claim anything," Fowler said. "I don't see no serial numbers on them."
A grand jury indicted Fowler in September 2011, but he did not appear in court until May 31 after becoming listed as a "Fugitive of the Week" by the U.S. Marshal's Service.
The jury is expected to hear from one more witness on Thursday prior to closing arguments. Fowler has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He faces up to 3 ½ to 7 years in prison on each charge.

George Allen
In 2006 George Allen was running for re-election of his U.S. Senate seat. During the campaign, on more than one occasion, Allen used the word macaca to refer to a young man filming him for his opponent's campaign. Macaca is an epithet for North African indigenous people. Allen insisted he had never heard the word before and later apologized for its use.

Actor's baby girl born night he stars on Broadway
NEW YORK (AP) — The night of June 17, 2014, won't be easily forgotten by Broadway star Josh Tower.
He both made his debut in "Motown the Musical" and hours later welcomed the birth of a daughter.
"It was insane," said a smiling and exhausted Tower backstage recently at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, where he happily offers visitors chilled bubbly and cigars.
"I love that this is the story of our first 'Motown' baby," said Charles Randolph-Wright, the show's director. "Of course, his first night was when his wife went into labor. How could it not be?"
The night started with Tower officially stepping into the musical's lead role of Berry Gordy after just two full rehearsals. By intermission, his wife Karen was texting that she was having contractions.
By the middle of Act 2, Tower's wife texted a stage manager backstage that she was heading to the hospital but insisted that her husband not be disturbed.
"She said, 'No, don't tell Josh until the show's done. He has to be able to do this,'" her husband recalled. "She's just a rock."
The show, which tells the story of how Gordy's Motown Records empire rose and fell and then rose again, ended with Tower still somewhat in the dark about his wife's location.
"The curtain comes down at the end of the show and I hear everyone go 'Yeah! Go! Go!'" he said. "I was like, 'Yeah, woo-ho! Go!' They were like, 'No, GO! GO!'"
Tower slipped off his costume and sprinted to a waiting car that took him to St. Luke's Hospital, where his wife and mother-in-law were waiting. In a twist, it turns out their doctor, Maria Teaiwa-Rutherford, is Diana Ross' gynecologist.
A gorgeous daughter arrived at 4:45 a.m., weighing 7 pounds, 14 ounces. They named her Marlowe Rose — a mix of her parents' middle names of Arlo and Rosario. He was back at work two nights later, listening to the cast sing a suddenly appropriate tune: "My Girl."
His daughter immediately had an effect on dad — putting his scramble to be Broadway-ready in perspective: "I'm like, 'I can do these shows. It's OK.' Everything after that is fine. It's kind of like Shakespeare. Once you do Shakespeare, the rest of it is a cake walk."
Marlowe is the second child for Tower and his wife, who met on an online dating site in 2009. He was in Los Angeles doing "Parade" at the Mark Taper Forum and she was a lawyer in New York. After courting for months, they met for the first time in October that year when he flew in for 24 hours. They met downtown, chatting all day over sushi.
"Basically, the rest is history. We got along really well," Tower said. "More so than any relationship that I've ever been in before, it was really about our banter, our intelligence, our words, our inner beings — before any of the physical stuff."
Tower, who was born at the Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota, grew up in Ambler, Pennsylvania, while his mother taught at Temple University, which he also attended.
His first stage role was in "South Pacific" in 10th grade. "I was Soldier No. 3 from the left," he said, laughing. Tower also played football and baseball and wrestled. He was on active duty for two years in the Army and got his master's at the University of North Carolina.
He's appeared on Broadway in "Ragtime" and did a six-year stint as Simba in "The Lion King," after touring with it for a year. He and Karen also have a son, Luke, who just celebrated his second birthday.
One of those who watched while Tower celebrated both a new Broadway role and a lovely new daughter on the same night was Randolph-Wright.
"Besides excitement, you never saw the stress of it. He handled it extraordinarily," he said. "To be able to deal with that and to shine, which he does, I was just impressed."

The Homeland Security Department, in an effort to gain better control over its portable devices, has approved a line of secure USB drives for purchase by its component agencies. In an audit of portable device security policy last June DHS' inspector general concluded that its component agencies were not adhering to policies regarding their inventory of USB thumb drives.
In an effort to unify its components in following policy, DHS has awarded a three-year blanket purchase agreement to Promark Technology, distributors of the Kanguru Defender Elite secure USB drives. The Defender Elite's encryption model is FIPS 140-2 certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, so it meets DHS requirements for handling sensitive information. Its onboard antivirus, tamper-resistant design and remote management capabilities make it a good choice for use in secure environments.
The agreement approves for purchase hardware-encrypted models of the Kanguru USB drive ranging from 2G to 64 G in capacity. DHS also has approved Kanguru Remote Management Console Enterprise Edition 5.0 and other Kanguru management software for purchase.
The software lets admins track and manage the USB drives anywhere in the world, letting them set password changes, enforce strong password rules, restrict IP addresses, set permissions and disable or delete lost or stolen devices.

Isaiah Washington Describes His Career Fallout Following His 2007 "F*ggot" Remarks
Speaking with Huffpost Live, former Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington detailed the fallout his career suffered as a result of his use of an anti-gay slur on set in 2007.
"I didn't have a choice. After the incident at the Golden Globes everything just fell apart. It literally stopped. Whatever the agenda, whatever the plan was it worked. I lost everything. I couldn't afford to have an agent. I couldn't afford to have a publicist for the crisis management to continue. I couldn't afford to continue. I went from 2 million dollars a year to residual checks. Zero. I couldn't get another apartment after I turned in my lease for my $3 million home. I had to put it in my wife's name. No one wanted to touch the name of Isaiah Washington for three years."

Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy…
But it feels like things are coming together! (ノ゚▽゚)ノ
Wednesday, July 25th
- In between working on The Flea, began some character sketches for graphic novel collaboration with Shannon.
Friday, July 27th
- In between working on The Flea, conducted some image research (46 images and counting) for collaboration with Shannon.
- Received e-mail from Brian (Pixel Flick Entertainment). Trying to schedule a one-on-one meeting with him. Next Alliance meeting on Saturday, August 18th.
Sunday, July 29th
- Continuing to help fellow screenwriter/filmmaker Jay Dial. Had a great (hopefully productive) phone conversation with him.
- Received inquiry about my screenplay-in-progress The Man Who Never Smiled from an interested (and enthusiastic) production company. Although I originally intended this screenplay to be full-length, they're interested in a short. Will bang out a draft (about 15-25 pages) and send them a copy by the end of August.
Monday, July 30th
- Received e-mail from a potential director/producer interested in making "one or two" of my short films. He suggested chatting on the phone. Very busy this week, so will call him either Wednesday (August 8th) or Thursday (August 9th).

- Some lat minute "spring" cleaning…
Tuesday, July 31st
- In between working on The Flea, worked on some text/font samples for Shannon.
- Heard from The Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting Competition. Did not make it to the quarterfinals — knew it was a long shot. But I can always try again next year. Or perhaps I'll have more success with a different route?
Wednesday, August 1st – Thursday, August 2nd
- Continuing work on The Flea and The Man…
Friday, August 3rd – Sunday, August 5th
- A family vacation of sorts…!
Monday, August 6th
- Received e-mail from Film Independent Screenwriting Lab 2012. Although my screenplay Who is Laurence Harvey? was not selected for this year's lab, I was given some encouraging feedback: "…the script is a definite contender for the lab. It's a unique idea with a capable writer at the helm… a noteworthy project…"
- The Poet and the Flea: 37 pages of written script (1 page of script = 4-6 illustrated pages), and about 36 pages (1-18, 21 completed, and 19-20, 22-36 in progress) of illustrated work.
- Working on Inside the Display Case (title may eventually change?) bit by bit. About 17 pages of script (+notes).
To Do:

It was February of 2010 and my 4 year old son, husband and I were enjoying a wonderful staycation at Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine. Considering it was during school and during the week there were not a lot of visitors there. We had much of the Cub Club, waterpark and arcade to ourselves and it was awesome! (Like, "can't wipe the smiles off our faces so worn out we had the best sleep of our lives" awesome).
We were enjoying the amazingly perfect hot tub in the indoor waterpark when the snow started to fall outside. I mean big, white fluffy snowflakes. This is a rare occasion in Texas as it does occasionally snow, but usually it's a mix of sleet and snow that melts when it hits the ground. Texans sometimes get 3 hours to take full advantage of sledding and building snowmen that last maybe 1 night before going to snowman heaven (at least that's what we tell our son). But on this day we watched the snow pile up to 6 1/2 inches outside of the lodge.
So, we pulled every stitch of clothing we had together to bundle ourselves. This was a feat because at Great Wolf Lodge we lounge in our pj's, bathing suits and flip flops. We were able to get plastic wrap from the kitchen staff to wrap our feet and legs for "waterproofing". We looked mismatched to say the least.
That year we had so much fun building a snowman, even getting into a friendly snowball fight with the other staycationers in front of Great Wolf Lodge, that we opted to stay another night = ) It's not like we had chains for our tires to drive home in Texas snow!!

The 5-year Treasury (CBOT:ZFH14) is entering a new phase in its existence. For now it will be measured as to how much of its life will be spent beyond zero interest rate policy (ZIRP). Until now, it was a glass half-full. Now economic agents concentrate on there being more than 3/5th of the current 5-year expected to be buffeted by the potential for policy rate hikes in a process of monetary policy normalization.
That normalization of monetary policy will be further challenged by the very strong likelihood that the Fed will be holding onto its massive portfolio, not wanting to take actual losses that can otherwise, through time, be eliminated by allowing the securities to remain on Fed books till maturity. Because of the stimulative effect from these balance sheet holdings, the Fed will be required to count on the policy Fed Funds rate to do even more 'heavy lifting.'
While the Fed will be very interested in convincing economic agents that their intent will be to raise policy rates in due time at a very measured pace, the reality is that at some point, the Fed may be required to play catch-up and will need to use the Fed Funds (CBOT:ZQG14) more aggressively in combating excesses. This is why the 5-year will have a very hard time of it and why it will suffer relative to the 30-year (CBOT:ZBH14), which itself will benefit from a good chunk of its outstanding being squirreled away in Fed coffers.

Source code for Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) has been released. We're sure many of you will be downloading the new Android 4.1.1_r1 files simply to poke around, but CyanogenMod and countless other Android development groups around the globe will be spending countless hours pouring over every last line of code to see what changes will need to be made to integrate Jelly Bean into their existing code base.
Along with Android 4.1, Google has also released the proprietary binaries for the Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus. Code for the "Nexus S and Xoom will follow."
The CyanogenMod team has already predicted a quick turnaround with Android 4.1; let's just hope they can keep their word. We're still trying to decide which new Android 4.1 features we're most excited about. Google Now definitely got the most buzz at I/O, but we think Project Butter will have more impact on users.
What are your thoughts? Will you be waiting for a full CM10 build for your device? Or will you be lurking on your favorite development forum, flashing dozens of half-baked ROMs as soon as they're posted?

Jesus Surpasses Your Faith and Your Doubts
You may consider yourself to be a person of great faith....or maybe, you feel like you are the biggest doubter in the world. Most of us would place ourselves somewhere in between. But wherever you are at today in your faith, just know this....Jesus surpasses your faith, as well as your doubts.
As human beings, we tend to focus a lot on "our faith." What really matters the most, however, is not the strength of "our faith," but the strength of our Savior. If He is truly God....and the Redeemer of mankind....which He is....then don't worry. He can save you, just like He will save all of His children. The children of God trust in Jesus, plain and simple. Some seem to have much stronger faith than others....but you know what? It's not about us....or "our faith." It's all about His love....and His cross....and His ability to keep us in His family. (see John 10:28)
I am not suggesting that faith is unimportant....far from it. The Bible makes it clear that "without faith, it is impossible to please God." (Hebrews 11:6) So yes, faith is very important. But what makes faith so beneficial is the One who is on the giving end of it....and He is the Lord of all. He is the object of our faith.
Perhaps you have made the mistake that any of us can make....and that is to place faith in "our faith." What's wrong with that picture? Well....the object of "our faith" in that situation is something going on inside of us. That's not a very good place to put your trust. It is far preferable to "fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess." (Hebrews 3:1) He is always strong and steady, whereas "our faith" can be shaky and wavering at times.
Maybe you are one of those who has far more doubts than faith. Maybe you even would call yourself an unbeliever as it pertains to Jesus, the Messiah. If so, where do you suppose those doubts came from? Are you even slightly aware of the origin of that unbelief? It would be safe to say that you have not obtained those doubts by focusing upon Jesus and His cross....and His love for you. Instead, I am guessing that those doubts have come from distracting ideas and opinions which "war against your soul" (1 Peter 2:11) and against any inkling of faith you may have had at one point in your life.
If you are a doubter, please know that Jesus surpasses your doubts. He is so much greater than your opinions and your perceptions....and yet, you may find yourself "locked into" a prison of doubt as it relates to the Son of God. The world has a way of doing that to a person if you leave your heart unchecked....and your mind open to any opinion about Christianity and Jesus Christ. In the end, the only thing that matters is God's perspective....because that is the truth. In fact, Jesus Himself is "the way, the truth, and the life." (John 14:6) Have you visited with Him lately....or just been pulled away from Him by other opinions and various desires within yourself?
Jesus is greater than any desires which pull you in harmful directions. How can you know which desires are harmful, and which are not? Well....which desires give you a greater love and appreciation for your Savior who loved you enough to give His life on the cross for your sins? Are you tired of being pulled in the wrong direction? Are you weary of your doubts about the Master? If so, then hear His voice to you when He says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
Perhaps you grew up learning about Jesus, but have since "outgrown it." That is a heartbreaking development in the lives of many today. Imagine that....a person "outgrowing" a relationship with his Creator and Redeemer. It just goes to show how susceptible we all are to straying from the very One who gave us physical life....and offers us an abundant life of spiritual fulfillment and purpose through the forgiveness of our sins. Unless we are fulfilling God's purposes for our life, we are just chasing a dream that will have no lasting substance. It will all disappear one day, like a vapor. Life with God goes on forever, whereas life without Jesus eventually comes to a crashing realization of having been deceived by sin, doubt, and Satan himself.
Ah yes....the great deceiver....the one who planted seeds of doubt in the first human beings God created. That snake came along and breathed his doubt upon them, (see Genesis 3:1-7) whereas God had breathed into them "the breath of life." (Genesis 2:7) It was Satan's own doubt about God that led to his downfall....and many have followed him on his slithering path. His purpose is to get you to doubt God long before you flat out reject God's love for you and His plan of salvation.
But just think about this for a second....what have your doubts ever done for you? Have they ever brought you closer to God....or instead, just driven you further from Him? The epitome of spiritual irony is the man who places ultimate faith in his own doubts. Go figure. What a tragic and misguided existence.
The power of doubt is the power of unbelief. The power of faith is the power of Christ living in us as we trust in His death on the cross to forgive our sins. Which power is controlling your life today? Are you focused upon "your faith," or perhaps your doubts? Here is the answer to your problem, as stated in God's love letter to His children: "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith." (Hebrews 12:2) Now there is the remedy my friend for whatever ails your soul.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson says the State Department should not be nervous about a visit he's making to North Korea with Google's executive chairman, Eric Schmidt.
The State Department has advised against his making the trip. But Richardson says he doesn't work for the U.S. government.
Richardson said Friday he's concerned about an American citizen detained in North Korea, Kenneth Bae, and has spoken to Bae's son. The former U.N. ambassador and U.S. energy secretary points out he has helped negotiate the release of American service members and hostages in the past. Richardson says he's also concerned about what the U.S. believes is covert nuclear testing.
Richardson tells CBS "This Morning" it's a private, humanitarian mission and says the State Department shouldn't be so worried.

FamilyGuy nice ride mate.
Yeah i've ridden down that way on the roadie before up through! Some nice riding out there, but you certainly need to pic your times/days with either local / school holidays or leavers (the worst) traffic.

The 34-year-old actor was in Park City, Utah, to premiere the biopic "jOBS," which was the closing-night film at the Sundance Film Festival Friday.
The film tells the story of the Apple founder, whom Kutcher considers a personal hero.
Kutcher plays Jobs from Apple's origins in the 1970s until the launch of the first iPod in 2001. The actor said he admired Jobs for his singular focus and compassion for the consumer.
The film also shows Jobs' less appealing side, withholding stock options from some of the company's original employees and denying child support to the mother of his eldest child.

Donald Trump as Seen by Google's Deep Dream
Last Summer, Google unleashed Deep Dream, their neural network that takes pictures and tries to identify patterns and overwrite them, on an unsuspecting public. When you put an image into Deep Dream, what you get when it "wakes up" is often nightmarish. Dogs, birds, insects, pagodas are inserted at random places in the image, giving it a surreal and sometimes beautiful–if terrifying–aspect.
So, since this election season is already off-the-charts surreal, I thought to myself, "What would it look like if we ran some candidates through Deep Dream?" Well, now I know. I started with Donald Trump, who is already deeply weird and unsettling. The results are spectacular.

Awoke and whispered to my boobs, Bea Arthur and Jackie O, "It's Tuesday. You know what that means, ladies? Time to oppress some dudes."
Tuesday July 5, 2016
Awoke and whispered to my boobs, Bea Arthur and Jackie O, "It's Tuesday. You know what that means, ladies? Time to oppress some dudes."
Walked to work wearing my plunging crop top that says, "This is what a feminist looks like," hot pants, and six-inch heels. Tossed my hair a lot and sexily chewed my lower lip. Dropped change so I could slowly bend over and pick it up. It took me about an hour to walk five blocks, which is standard.
Exceeded my catcall goal by seven, a personal best. Super flattering, of course, but will pretend to be terrified and make men feel bad about it with a bunch of tweets. That'll show them.
Some dowdy librarian tried to help me with the change I kept dropping, and she got catcalled too! No one invades my catcalling turf. Slapped the books right out of her hands. Mostly by Hemingway, whom I both hate and would totally do if he were alive.
Arrived late per usual, but the boss didn't say anything, just stared at my tits and gave me a pass. I had buttressed Bea Arthur and Jackie O in a push-up bra stuffed with the hard-earned cash of some beta male I cheated on. Good thinking.
By Friday I hope to a) screw my way to executive assistant, b) replace some poor slob who works really hard, or c) file a sexual harassment lawsuit. We'll just see what the week brings, like whether or not the boss is a lesbian. Fingers crossed!
Spent the rest of the workday playing Candy Crush and convincing Dale from accounting to do everything for me. Stringing Dale along is why I keep coming in. It makes all the pretending to work worth it. I might boink him someday, but I want to see how low he'll stoop for a bit of action.
I don't get off on it per se, in so much that I don't get off. Ever. At all. But I pretend that I could, just to make all the guys I've ever been with feel like losers. Watching them fumble and feel emasculated without pants is like Christmas – if I were to sleep with Santa and watch him fumble and feel emasculated without pants.
Went to happy hour after work and didn't pay a dime. Cosmos just appeared in front of me. Dumb guys just handed me cash for being hot, and I filled my bra until Bea Arthur and Jackie O ballooned up like the boobs of evil women on TV. My role models, natch.
Some dude wearing a huge, purple hat came up to me and said I looked like an uglier Angelina Jolie. He lifted his shirt to show that his torso was hard, rippling, and embroidered with diamonds so he had every right to tell me that. I hooked up with him in the men's room. That'll show him.
Went home and let loose a series of drunken, liar tweets about how hard my life is and how I want equality. Even inebriated, it's important to keep my stilettoed foot on the neck of men everywhere. Those tweets and opinion pieces just skewer them. More powerful than the laws of God or man are the messages I hastily type with my thumbs.
A good Tuesday over all, but did not receive free coffee by sexily slow jamming my order. The barista must've taken the red pill.
Woman begs city council to bring back McRib
The McRib Shortage of '15. It was the single greatest tragedy this country has ever endured. But one woman, one brave voice, said, "No. This will not do." #mcrib #sheslovinit
Well over a year ago a tragic event occurred: In the fall of 2015, the executives of McDonald's made a grave decision, the consequences of which are still felt to this day. They decided that when the McRib was released that year it would… it would allow the regional managers to decide whether or not they would offer the McRib. As a result, a staggering 45 percent of McDonald's locations elected not to offer the McRib. It was the single greatest tragedy this country has ever endured. But one woman, one brave voice, said, "No. This will not do."
First off, shout out to Reader James from Lake Elsinore, CA for alerting us to the tale of hardship and heroism. You see, when Xanthe Pajarillo, a "McRib activist," realized that none of the ten McDonald's locations in her hometown of Santa Clarita would be offering the McRib, she did what any reasonable red-blooded American citizen would do. She brought the issue before the city council.
Now it is no secret that the McRib Shortage of '15 nearly brought the nation to a standstill. In fact, if it weren't for the release of a special McRib locator app, experts speculate that America would have ceased to exist as it does today. But amidst all of the rolling blackouts, the deaths, and the riots, we overlooked all of the smaller, personal tragedies that took place because of the cruel decision made by nearly half of McDonald's regional managers.
In her impassioned plea to the Santa Clarita city council, Pajarillo explained just why the McRib meant so much to her and her family, and why the city council had to act in order to bring it back.
"The removal of the McRib from the menu has affected my family, because every Thanksgiving, my family would, like, order a 50-piece chicken McNugget and like, 10 McRibs. It was like, a tradition in our family, and now it's like—well, like my family's holiday spirit is kind of messed up and broken."
Recently Pajarillo heroic speech before the city council has gone viral, gaining attention at the national stage across social media. Since that dramatic event, Pajarillo has continued to fight for the return of the McRib, even going so far as to release a song dubbed "The McRib Blues." In it, she lays bare her soul and the souls of those like her to whom the McRib is more than just a barbecue pork sandwich, but is instead, a way of life.
There are those out there, deplorables who hardly deserve mention, that call her bravery nothing more than a stunt. Performance art holding up a mirror to America's consumerism and obsession. However, others stand by the truth. Pajarillo is a hero, fighting for both a sandwich, but also for something more. Something ephemeral. That little piece of Americana that brings us all together. The McRib.
Fight on, brave warrior, fight on.
♪ Cause we have right to eat what we like, McRib is worth the fight ♪

Africa Geographic has a story on the Fosa. What in the hell is a Fosa? Well, it is little known creature that exists in Madagascar that for years was thought to be a member of the 'cat family'. In reality it is a species all of its own and is often known in scientific circles as 'that false feline'
The site gives us five facts about the very endangered Madagascar Fosa.
Fact 1
It has taken scientists years to make up their minds about these intriguing creatures. The fosa was first described in 1833 when it was thought to be a cat. Current genetic analysis, however, has revealed distant shared connections with the African mongoose.
Fact 2
Curious and voracious, fosas have been known to ransack unoccupied tents and eat bars of soap, malaria pills and even leather boots. But their diet consists mainly of lemurs, rodents and other vertebrates.
Fact 3
The fosa is Madagascar's largest carnivore and an excellent arboreal hunter. It is an agile climber with powerful forelimbs, paws with retractable claws and 'reversible' ankles. The latter enable it to grasp both sides of a tree trunk when ascending or descending headfirst.
Fact 4
The fosa and the other seven endemic carnivores of Madagascar have evolved from a common ancestor that arrived on the island by rafting some 20 – 25 million years ago. They have been placed in their own family, Eupleridea.
Fact 5
The naturally low population densities combined with the loss and fragmentation of habitat make the species incredibly vulnerable. The latest Global Mammal Assessment estimates a total population of fewer than 2 500 fosas on Madagascar.

Despite settlement, Steve Moore never truly got his justice
Steve Moore never wanted to settle.
He wanted his day in court. He required it, really — both personally and financially. He wanted his story told, the violent circumstances explained contextually and, possibly, understood better.
He wanted, in his own way, to peel back a layer of the underbelly of professional hockey — putting the apparent code and the game on trial. And then have others fully comprehend the pain he has endured — physically, cognitively, mentally — and the career that was stolen from him.
It happened 10 years, five months and 11 days ago. Todd Bertuzzi has earned more than $30 million since he sucker-punched Moore from behind, mounted his back, and pile-drived him to the ice in Vancouver.
But on Tuesday, 20 days before Moore versus Bertuzzi and the former owners of the Vancouver Canucks was to begin in a Toronto civil court, after years of delays, interruptions, legal manoeuvrings and an absolute lack of conscience on the part of the National Hockey League and the NHL Players' Association, a settlement was reached and agreed upon by all the parties involved.
Moore will get his money — and just how much is yet to be revealed, if it will ever be revealed. Was it $5 million, $10 million, $15 million, more? Until someone leaks something, that won't be known.
But Moore will not get the day in court he so desired and often talked about needing. A confidentiality clause will mean he will cash a cheque, but not be able to explain how private detectives followed him, how others tried to undermine his credibility, how his career was taken and how the hockey community abandoned one of their own, how life with a severe concussion altered his world in so many different ways, how opportunities to interview key witnesses was met with delay after delay, how side deals were made, how the law conspired against the only victim in this rather sad affair.
And how, until now, justice delayed was justice denied.
Lawyer Tim Danson spent the past decade preparing for next month, all the while dodging legal bullets and land mines, forever playing the part of fullback, anticipating pressure, yet pushing forward, his legs forever driving.
This was not unlike a scout preparing for the NHL draft and spending years following players and then, on draft day, your team trades all its picks away. And all the work, though necessary, suddenly wasn't.
The outcome was both good and bad. It's good that it's finally over, that there's a deserved ending for Moore and his family, that he never had to listen to lawyers try and diminish the 69 NHL games he played. And he never had to listen to testimony by those who would have blighted the memory of the 68 previous games he had earned.
That would have been his own arbitration in a public forum, some praise and some humiliation, dulling the amazing accomplishments of the three brothers from Thornhill, who made their way to Harvard and then to professional hockey, one of them still playing. The feel-good story that hasn't felt so good for most of the past 10 years.
The real winner Tuesday, though, was the NHL, not even named as part of the lawsuit (out of respect to Dominic Moore's career) and many of its familiar faces past and present. Essentially, the league would have been on trial in the case they wanted to avoid in the first place. That's why they contacted the Canucks prior to March 8, 2004, telling them that vigilante justice needed to be toned down, that it was time to move on after the injury to Markus Naslund.
The league said that.
Colin Campbell said that.
And then it spent most of the past decade running from Moore, making an embarrassing settlement offer, running interference of sorts for Bertuzzi, forever protecting its own backside.
A settlement for the NHL means this story goes away. There is silent closure. It means Brian Burke and Dave Nonis and Marc Crawford and Brad May didn't have to testify and can breathe a little easier today. The mention of Moore these past many years made all of them uncomfortable.
It also means Bertuzzi, now without a contract, whose game never recovered from March 8, never had to explain his part, what he was told, what he thought, what he felt, what kind of adrenalin pushed him to do what he did. The Canucks and the former Canucks people have circled the wagons and run interference for each other.
They can stop their circling now.
Steve Moore didn't get the $68 million the amended lawsuit called for. We don't know what he wound up with, but we know it wasn't that much. Hopefully, what he gets now, more than money, is peace of mind. He didn't get everything he wanted. He never got his story told in full.

Minimum Cut Tree Games (2008)
In this paper we introduce a cooperative game based on the minimum cut tree problem which is also known as multi-terminal maximum flow problem. Minimum cut tree games are shown to be totally balanced and a solution in their core can be obtained in polynomial time. This special core allocation is closely related to the solution of the original graph theoretical problem. We give an example showing that the game is not supermodular in general, however, it is for special cases and for some of those we give an explicit formula for the calculation of the Shapley value.
We study the complexity of finding extreme pure Nash equilibria in symmetric network congestion games and analyse how it depends on the graph topology and the number of users. In our context best and worst equilibria are those with minimum respectively maximum total latency. We establish that both problems can be solved by a Greedy algorithm with a suitable tie breaking rule on parallel links. On series-parallel graphs finding a worst Nash equilibrium is NP-hard for two or more users while finding a best one is solvable in polynomial time for two users and NP-hard for three or more. Additionally we establish NP-hardness in the strong sense for the problem of finding a worst Nash equilibrium on a general acyclic graph.
In this paper we develop a data-driven mixture of vector autoregressive models with exogenous components. The process is assumed to change regimes according to an underlying Markov process. In contrast to the hidden Markov setup, we allow the transition probabilities of the underlying Markov process to depend on past time series values and exogenous variables. Such processes have potential applications to modeling brain signals. For example, brain activity at time t (measured by electroencephalograms) will can be modeled as a function of both its past values as well as exogenous variables (such as visual or somatosensory stimuli). Furthermore, we establish stationarity, geometric ergodicity and the existence of moments for these processes under suitable conditions on the parameters of the model. Such properties are important for understanding the stability properties of the model as well as deriving the asymptotic behavior of various statistics and model parameter estimators.
Given a directed graph G = (N,A), a tension is a function from A to R which satisfies Kirchhoff\\\'s law for voltages. There are two well-known tension problems on graphs. In the minimum cost tension problem (MCT), a cost vector is given and a tension satisfying lower and upper bounds is seeked such that the total cost is minimum. In the maximum tension problem (MaxT), the graph contains 2 special nodes and an arc between them. The aim is to find the maximum tension on this arc. In this study we assume that both problems are feasible and have finite optimal solutions and analyze their inverse versions under rectilinear and Chebyshev distances. In the inverse minimum cost tension problem we adjust the cost parameter to make a given feasible solution the optimum, whereas in inverse maximum tension problem the bounds of the arcs are modified. We show, by extending the results of Ahuja and Orlin (2002), that these inverse tension problems are in a way \\\"dual\\\" to the inverse network flows. We prove that the inverse minimum cost tension problem under rectilinear norm is equivalent to solving a minimum cost tension problem, while under unit weight Chebyshev norm it can be solved by finding a minimum mean cost residual cut. Moreover, inverse maximum tension problem under rectilinear norm can be solved as a maximum tension problem on the same graph with new arc bounds. Finally, we provide a generalization of the inverse problems to monotropic programming problems with linear costs.
A new sequential extraction heuristic for optimising the delivery of cancer radiation treatment using multileaf collimators (2008)
Finding a delivery plan for cancer radiation treatment using multileaf collimators operating in ''step-and-shoot mode'' can be formulated mathematically as a problem of decomposing an integer matrix into a weighted sum of binary matrices having the consecutive-ones property - and sometimes other properties related to the collimator technology. The efficiency of the delivery plan is measured by both the sum of weights in the decomposition, known as the total beam-on time, and the number of different binary matrices appearing in it, referred to as the cardinality, the latter being closely related to the set-up time of the treatment. In practice, the total beam-on time is usually restricted to its minimum possible value, (which is easy to find), and a decomposition that minimises cardinality (subject to this restriction) is sought.

Gluten Free Focaccia!
Recently we went over to dinner at our friends B and D's house. Miss B is gluten-free, but not by choice. Back in the day, D was a bread maker at a local restaurant, and so they were used to eating delicious home-baked bread all the time. When B had to stop eating all gluten, it was really a bummer for both of them. So, I especially love to experiment with gluten-free baking projects for them, since I know they missed their baked delights.
Julie and Kittee both told me about this gluten-free focaccia bread that they highly recommended, and right away I knew I would be making this for B and D. Guess what? It turned out fantastic! Of the four of us at the table, only B is gluten-free, but not one of us hesitated to keep munching on this delicious bread. I loved the nutty flavor of the teff flour, which I pretty much never use. Also, I topped mine with olive oil, fresh rosemary from our garden, and some special sea salt that's extra chunky and flaky - perfect for focaccia.
I did use Julie's tip of baking the loaf a little longer than the original recipe calls for, and I'm glad I did. This focaccia came out totally great, and pretty much made me want to make a loaf of gf focaccia for every gf person I know and love. I can't wait to make it again!
Everyone wants focaccia - even the gluten-free peoples of the world!
And now, they can have it!!

How RUDE of your guests to sit on the couch! ;) But seriously, what an adorable picture of Dottie. I love the exasperated/annoyed expression on her face.ReplyDelete
You are such a thoughtful friend to make this focaccia with your gf friend in mind. It sounds wonderful, and I love the additions of rosemary and crunchy salt!
mmmm i love gluten free/vegan focaccia! more than i like the regular kind hahaReplyDelete
Haha aww! That is an adorable photo! We have two dogs - A tiny patterdale-terrier, and a huuge newfoundland! The other day, we caught the newfie (lulu) trying to squish into little Flo's bed! So funny!ReplyDelete

Olivia Wilde, Emma Stone team up for Revlon walk
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Olivia Wilde and Emma Stone are getting ready to share the spotlight, and Wilde's fiance might be there, too.
Wilde and Stone will return as co-hosts of the 20th annual EIF Revlon Run/Walk for Women in New York on May 4, and Wilde says Jason Sudeikis may join her for the five-kilometer fundraiser.
Revlon and the Entertainment Industry Foundation also announced Monday that expectant mom Halle Berry will host the Los Angeles event for the seventh time. It's set for May 11.
The EIF Run/Walk for Women has drawn nearly a million participants and donated more than $68 million to support women's cancer research since it was established in 1994.
No word on whether Berry's baby-daddy, actor Olivier Martinez, or Stone's beau, "Spider-Man" star Andrew Garfield, will join the races.

I am also incredibly interested and would be willing to pay or donate for windows Rt scummvm. Let's do it!
anyone who tried this one?
Always "nice" seeing a GPL-violating binary dump of ScummVM on some random website, without linking back to us, without licensing information or source code...
didnt try it either.
dont have a RT Windows.
if u wish you can remove the link, if u think its harmful.
Virustotal didnt find any suspicion, but i dont know how exactly they search for violent ARM *.exe Files.
I think that may have been written by someone who posted on here a couple of months back.
As it works (I believe - I haven't tried) could this be 'legitimised' so that there is no GPL-violation and then published to the store?
Or doesn't it work quite as simply as that?
TBH I saw this a while back and it's SCUMMVM that has me tempted to patch my RT to run unsigned code
However I'm holding out in hope of an official one
I'm working on it right now. Currently attempting to port the whole project to native C# much akin to the 2012 April fools posting
The goal is to get a native C# port and then use that to massage it into something that is compatible with the app store. It's early days yet, I'm still working on the core scummvm project and even if/when I get that done there are still all the engines to port.
Just wondering if you / anyone was still working on this?
Hello, i'm here with the same question. I'm a happy owner of windows 10 tablen onda v919 air ch. So i'v got touch screeen and would like to play classic quests. Any chance for touchscreen support?
Vorob, there is a Windows Store app of ScummVM available.
Just open the Windows App Store and search for ScummVM.
I do believe that this is not an official port and so may not work correctly. I haven't tried it out much myself, but the touch seems to work perfectly. Tap for left click, hold for right click. Snag is that you might not be able to bring up the menu without a keyboard.
Check it out, it might suit you.
I'm still waiting for a best of both worlds option. Loving the desktop software, but would like good touchscreen support.
EDIT -- Just found the forum topic where this port is discussed. http://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=13976
