Grid computing is nothing new. In one model of this kind of shared computing, people download programs that allow their computers or laptops to donate computing cycles to projects when the machines are otherwise idle. Scientists with big computing problems can upload a computational problem to a central server, and that server then takes advantage of all the idle computers to crunch numbers and work out a solution.
Berkley makes room for the OS on its BOINC grid, so owners can lend their idle computing time to research projects. Read more.
In the past, this kind of volunteer computing has been done with desktops and laptops, because only they had enough power to make things worthwhile.
But now that smartphones are almost as powerful as desktop computers, the folks over at IBM's World Community Grid and the Olsen Laboratory plan to leverage the power in everyone's back pocket. They have developed an app to distribute the computational burden related to finding new drugs that can combat resistant strains of AIDS. To participate in the program, users simply download the Android app and install it on their phone. Thereafter, the smartphone will be sent problems and use its idle processing power to work out solutions.
Even though today's phones are powerful, they still face limitations compared to desktop computers. According to the scientists working on the project, phones will only accept problems when they are connected to a Wi-Fi network, are close to fully charged and are plugged into an AC outlet. That way the project won't drain the battery or rack up usage charges. Basically, the phones will mostly be used at night when they are at home and being charged up.
Although users likely won't notice their phones chugging away, scientists are hopeful that the idle phones will discover the answer to some pretty complex questions. IBM keeps a running total of how much idle time has been devoted to the project. As of this week, over 30,000 people have downloaded the app and more than 288 years of runtime has been logged. If you've got an Android and some free idle computing cycles, why not help to cure AIDS while you sleep?

No Armchair Adventurers Here
Students in Janelle Schwartz's Reading the Extreme in World Adventure Narratives class are doing a lot more than reading this semester.
Schwartz, a 1997 Hamilton graduate and visiting assistant professor of comparative literature, has teamed up with The Hamilton Outing Club (HOC) to bring experiential learning to her students. The class has been reading about harrowing survival tales, races for the summit, spiritual journeys across ice and snow, and the impact of humanity upon remote and extreme landscapes. This semester, as the students descend in their readings from Everest on high to frigid arctic waters, they're actually learning firsthand what it's like to be part of an unforgiving wilderness, in a much more scaled down and safe way, through activities that HOC organizes for them.
"In the spirit of the interdisciplinarity embraced by Hamilton's Comparative Literature department, 'Reading the Extreme in World Adventure Narratives' combines non-fiction adventure narratives and studies of world culture with outdoor leadership in order to explore the relationship between 'arm-chair adventuring' and being 'out there' confronting the natural milieu," explained Schwartz. The class is recounting their adventures in a blog .
"It seeks to make less abstract such extreme feats of human endurance, so that the students can gain a more concrete understanding of the exploration and epiphany, tragedy and triumph, politics and ethics that accompany such activity," she said.
With this in mind, the class meets at the Glen House, HOC headquarters, several times throughout the semester. They have an open climb each Friday at the climbing wall, plan to learn orienteering and wilderness first aid, and to take several hikes in the Adirondacks. "We're fortunate to have the expertise of Andrew and Sarah Jillings at our disposal, as well as the facilities and equipment of the Hamilton Outing Club (HOC)," Schwartz noted.
One of the highlights of the semester was the "Everest obstacle course," after reading Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air, about the 1996 disaster on Mount Everest, and Jamling Tenzing Norgay's Touching My Father's Soul, which weaves together the story of the author's father and the author's own summit success on Everest in 1996.
The course consisted of a line strung up on the porch of the Glen House to simulate a fixed line on Everest, replete with a "dead body" (or log, in the case of the class) tied to a part of the line, so that the students could experience how the climbers on Everest would have to unclip from their "life line" to negotiate around fallen climbers. Likewise, the students were dressed in full cold-weather gear, given ice axes, jumars (ascending devices), helmet, and crampons (metal spikes attached to the bottom of one's mountaineering boots).
Schwartz is enthusiastic about the balance of physical and mental exertion that the class brings, thinking that the students get a great deal more out of learning through experience than they would if they sat in their cozy chairs by the fireplace and simply read the stories. She wants the students to be able to engage their minds in their own adventures, not only to better understand the accounts they're reading, but for their own personal benefit.
Schwartz hopes that the activities that the students do through HOC will allow them to create "a wonderful feedback loop between literature and outdoor leadership: they mutually inspire each other -- the adventurer brings back his or her story and the literature goes on to inspire new adventures," she remarked.
The students have responded well to the "experiential learning" and are overall very excited about getting to do things through the Glen House, the Hamilton Outing Club's headquarters. Anna Bastidas '13 commented that she loves how "this class allows me to combine my academics with what I do in my free time."
Schwartz said that whenever possible, she puts the literary readings the students discuss in the classroom into active, "real world" contexts. Thus, when they were reading texts about expedition and alpine climbing, the class learned how to properly pack a pack for a climb, discussed cold weather survival techniques, such as how to avoid hypothermia and how to splint a broken femur.
Schwartz explained, "With this, the students were broken into groups, each having a 'victim' who went outside and laid in the snow to simulate a femur fracture on the mountain.
"Each group then had to splint their 'victim,' as well as fend off the impending effects of hypothermia, and get him/her to safety (the back porch of the Glen House)," she said. "This exercise helped the students better imagine the necessity of both teamwork and individual strength (physical as well as mental) when climbing in the backcountry."
"When our reading moves from the mountain to the sea, winter to summer, we will be heading back to the Adirondacks for a canoe trip in May," Schwartz continued. She noted that all activities are "challenge by choice so students aren't forced to participate.
She concluded, "It's become clear to the students that literature informs climbing just as much as climbing forms the literature they are reading. 'Adventure' can then take on a greater scope, to include both readers and climbers alike, and to put equally into play the imagination and physical and mental endurance."

Couldn't have been two more differing visions for America than what was represented in the candidates last night. Obama's vision won, regardless of whether or not those voting for him (or anybody else) have any idea of what that vision really is. By 2016 and beyond, it really won't matter who's running on the R ticket -- he or she won't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the presidency. There will simply be far too many more "Americans" who vote for a living rather than work for a living by then. Elections are a lock for D presidential candidates from here on out, so as I said in the title, it's your country now. Enjoy!
Or the GOP can grow a sack (and a brain) and figure out how to include non-old white guys.
Just sayin'.
I don't see a Republican vision for less government.
As I stated in a different thread what is that next boom? Where do we go from here?
Your right. The fundamentals of the conservatism ideas lost and the left won.
The more European style is in.period
Vote with your pocket as conservatives did to keep taxes low for years.
Conservatives no longer have winning issues is correct.
You want to win the presidency? STOP putting up old tired white guys pining for the good old days. Find a dynamic person who can inspire EVERYONE. People want a leader, not a mannequin. Articulate a vision that includes EVERYONE. Stop the insanity of pandering to the 1 percent.
You want to throw in the towel because DEMOGRAPHICS don't favor you? Then you don't belong in the race to begin with.
"Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country can do for you!"
Why is Romney's vision of removing loopholes from the tax code only for old white guys?
Are you saying that only old white guys can figure out how to make money in the traditional American economy at least as it has been in the past 50 years? That is pretty racist of you.
What exactly is Obama's vision other than garbage one liners and sit on your ass while old white guys foot the bill? Obama couldn't even pass a friggin budget in 4 years but he has the vision?
To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, "When the people know they can vote themselves money, that is the end of the Republic".
Obama smartly appealed to those who are getting a free ride through low/no taxes, welfare, free handouts in Medicaid, cheap education and other appeals to the "mob" mentality. He also made a major appeal to the corrupt unions. It was a good and successful strategy. Appealing to American values of hard work is no longer a smart strategy as Americans have changed their views.
We will see what the results are, especially in the business community.

Soltani questions police chief, presents witnessesBy DALE VINCENT
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 14. 2013 9:24PM
CONCORD - Jurors will have to wait until Tuesday to hear testimony from former Epsom State Rep. Tony Soltani about what he did the evening of April 6, 2012, when he is accused of interfering with a police pursuit that ended at the Pembroke town line on Route 28.
Thursday's testimony in Merrimack County Superior Court came from witnesses called by the defense.
Soltani is charged with felony reckless conduct and misdemeanor disorderly conduct. He is accused of pursuing a Mercedes, which took off after officer James Kear stopped it on Route 4 in Epsom. Kear was chasing the Mercedes and Soltani's Dodge Neon was initially in third position as the vehicles sped around the Epsom traffic circle and headed south on Route 28.
Soltani is accused of driving south in the northbound lane at high speed, forcing northbound vehicles to take evasive action as he drove alongside the Mercedes.
Acting as his own attorney, Soltani swung from what appeared to be righteous anger to patient but repetitive questioning of witnesses, including Epsom Police Chief Wayne Preve and Sgt. Brian Michael, two men who served with Soltani in the State House, a former Epsom selectman, a bail commissioner and a Weare Police Lieutenant who has known Soltani since he was the Weare prosecutor.
Soltani claims his arrest was in retaliation for his making a complaint about Kear, who Soltani says came to Soltani's home the previous night looking for a runaway, was rude to Soltani's mother and entered the house's basement to retrieve the girl after Soltani's mother denied him entry at the front door.
Soltani said to Preve: "I told you it was time to clean up the police department."
Preve said he recalled the phone conversation differently. He said he called Soltani to inquire about a cellphone left at the house the previous night and had to leave a message.
When Soltani called back, Preve said, they talked about the cellphone and Soltani spoke about Kear's behavior.
Soltani asked Preve if he remembered him saying, "Officer Kear should not be a police officer in New Hampshire, especially Epsom." Soltani said he also told Preve that Kear should be in a foreign country "someplace where he could kill people and get away with it."
Preve said he didn't remember the conversation exactly that way, but Soltani said his complaint was grounds for an internal investigation.
Soltani pressed Michael about whether he did a follow- up investigation of Soltani's arrest, but Michael said once he determined that Soltani was arrested, his job was to gather reports and pass them on to the Hillsborough County Attorney's office, to avoid any possible conflict of interest for the Merrimack County Attorney, which would have normally handled such a case.
Soltani kept asking Michael if he was in charge of the follow-up investigation and Michael kept giving the same answer: the investigation was turned over to the Hillsborough County Attorney.
Soltani began waving his arms and pacing up and down in front of the jury. "Nothing else to be done," he told the jurors.
Soltani's character witnesses included State Rep. Frank Sapareto, R-Derry, and Lee Quandt, R-Exeter.
Sapareto said: "He's eccentric." But added: "He always wants to do the right thing." Sapareto said: "He saw a crime being committed. He tried to do the right thing."
Soltani is scheduled to take the stand when the trial resumes Tuesday morning.

(Props: @ZombieProphet)
This little bit of savagery just went down at OneFC 16: Honor and Glory in Singapore, where a featherweight prospect named Major "Majee" Overall knocked out Bruno Pucci ice-cold with a soccer-kick to the face. PRIDE-style soccer kicks have been legal in OneFC since September 2012, following the controversial outcome of Andrei Arlovski vs. Tim Sylvia 4.
Note: Ben Askren will be making his promotional debut in the main event of today's OneFC card, which is still going on at the time of this writing. Askren is fighting a guy named Bakhtiyar Abbasov. We'll update this post if anything GIF-worthy happens. UPDATE: Askren subbed that dude with an arm-triangle choke in the first round.

NEW YORK – In a year in which Chris Wondolowski has been full of surprises, the San Jose Earthquakes striker added one more on Monday: his second MLS Player of the Week award in three weeks, as voted on by the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR).
Wondolowski put up two goals against D.C. United on Saturday – including a Goal of the Week candidate off a volley that caromed off the underside of the bar – to help the Quakes clinch their first playoff appearance since being reinstated in 2008.
<object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="480" height="324"><param name="source" value="http://mls.neulion.com/mlsvp/scripts/mls.xap"/><param name="initParams" value="catid=114,id=9477,shareembed=true,server=http://mls.neulion.com/mlsvp/,pageurl=//www.mlssoccer.com/videos?id=9477&catid=114"/><param name="background" value="Transparent" /><param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="3.0.40624.0" /><param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" /><param name="Windowless" value="true" /><param name="enableHtmlAccess" value="true"/></object>
That brace also pushed Wondo into sole possession of second place in the Golden Boot race, his total of 14 goals now just two behind Edson Buddle on the league scoring sheets. Prior to this year, Wondo had never scored more than five goals in a season during his career as a reserve striker.
But since becoming a starter in Frank Yallop's attack, Wondolowski has fluorished and is now one goal away from matching Ronald Cerritos' single-season club record of 15, set in 1999. Wondo also leads MLS this season with eight game-winning goals and is a surprise candidate for the MVP award.
"I said it before and I'll say it again," said Yallop after Saturday's victory, "there are some good players in the league, but to go from where Wondolowski has come to be where he is now is outstanding. Hopefully he'll be in there [for MVP discussion] — I know that I'd vote for him."

Words by Lee Dobson:
The Xbox 720, Xbox 8, whatever it's called, the next generation of Xbox is coming, and it needs to be announced now!
The Xbox 360, in my eyes has managed to get the current generation right, they invested heavily on online and it worked, building on Xbox LIVE from the original Xbox, building on the party chat system that is used by millions of gamers each and every day on LIVE, tied in with the friends and messaging system, other services that the 360 offered such as the inside Xbox videos, easy matchmaking system and a far superior online store, in terms of services, Microsoft dominates hands down. Then add in some of the exclusives it 9;s had down the line, this for me made the 360 the console to have for this gen.
That left Sony to play catchup, with an improved exclusives catalogue ;and their PS+ system, which with it's free games alone is much better value for money, but with a poor store experience, and half baked friends system, this, I f...
Because pseudo gaming sites are getting diminishing results from each rumour article.
MS give no fu*ks about what you think.
take your thoughts, shine it up real good, turn that summahmuhbitch sideways and shove it STRAIGHT UP YOUR BLOGGING ASS
why would I be mad? I haven't heard anything beside what Sony said
Microsoft will reveal their console when they are good and ready. I am pretty sure they are aware of the PS4, they know what it can do, and they know that people are already writing off Microsoft without them saying so much as one word.
However, them not saying anything is creating a lot of buzz around these sites because everyone is desperate to know whether or not their PS4 will be as much of a beast as they believe it in their hearts. (Not saying it won't be better spec wise, so don't jump on me for that comment)
The reveal is coming, no doubt. I can't wait to see what MS has up their sleeves. The PS4 looks like an amazing gaming machine and it will be exciting to see how the 720 stacks up against it. Time will tell.

Clint Eastwood's speech to the GOP convention Thursday night has been characterized in some quarters as funny/crazy. In fact, it was a serious miscalculation, a bad choice of speaker who ended up being shockingly disrespectful to the office of the president. The takeaway: how is the RNC capable of leading the country if it can't keep an aging movie star on a leash?
Meanwhile, Invisible Obama (@InvisibleObama), the Twitter account created last night in response, has accumulated nearly 50,000 followers.
The expression on Ann Romney's face –that "You're Ruining My Wedding!" look– conveyed how Eastwood's performance went over with the Party higher-ups and convention organizers. Ever after, Eastwood's "go f— yourself" speech will be remembered more vividly than anything the actual candidate uttered.

Battle Droid
Rather than use flesh-and-blood warriors, the Separatists prefer mindlessly loyal soldiers that are easily controlled. The soulless ranks of their armies are dominated by tall, thin B1 battle droids built as mechanical imitations of their Geonosian designers. Battle droids can be controlled by centralized command centers such as the Trade Federation's enormous Droid Control Ships, or programmed for independent action. They often suffer programming glitches that manifest as personality quirks. Battle droids are dim-witted and no match for clone troopers or Jedi, but they weren't designed to be smart – they were designed to overwhelm Republic civilians through sheer numbers, something they do very effectively.
- Height: 1.93m ,
Gallery //
Soundboard //
An early use of battle droids came during the invasion of Naboo, as the Trade Federation sent armies of B1s to seize the peaceful planet's cities. Badly outnumbered, the Naboo surrendered and were taken to internment camps by the droid hordes.
A decade later, many other worlds would share Naboo's fate. A single clone trooper could destroy many battle droids, but there were many more Separatist droids than Republic troops. It would take years of grinding battle for the Republic to defeat the Separatists, and that victory would prove hollow. The Clone Wars were part of a Sith plot to gain power over a militarized galactic civilization, with battle droids mere pawns in that plan.
General Grievous
General Grievous was a brilliant Separatist military strategist and a feared Jedi hunter, known for his ruthlessness and hacking cough. His body itself was a weapon, allowing him lightning quick strikes and devastating blows. But he was also quick to run from a fight, a tactic that worked until one final meeting with Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Poggle the Lesser
Poggle the Lesser was the leader of the insect-like Geonosians throughout the era of the Clone Wars. Due to his control of the Geonosian battle droid factories, he was a powerful figure within the Confederacy of Independent Systems and commanded the droid armies that fought against the Republic in two battles for control of Geonosis. At the end of the war, Poggle lost his life to Darth Vader.
Confederacy of Independent Systems
The Confederacy of Independent Systems, also known as the Separatist Alliance, was a collection of star systems and corporate titans that left the Republic and fought for independence against the Republic's clone armies and Jedi Knights. The charismatic former Jedi Count Dooku was the Alliance's political leader, while its military power came from credits and assets donated by powerful galactic trade groups. No one suspected that the Alliance was actually a tool of Darth Sidious, who had engineered the Clone Wars as part of a Sith plot to rule the galaxy.
A harsh rocky world less than a parsec away from Tatooine, Geonosis is a ringed planet beyond the borders of the Galactic Republic. Its uninviting surface is made up of harsh, rocky desert, and the creatures that evolved on Geonosis are well equipped to survive in the brutal environment. The most advanced lifeform are the Geonosians, sentient insectoids that inhabit towering spire-hives. The Geonosians maintain large factories for the production of droids and weapons for the Separatist cause in the Clone Wars. After the Clone Wars, the Empire chose Geonosis as the construction site of the first Death Star, restricting travel to the system and sterilizing the planet's surface.
Clone Troopers
At the time of their introduction, the Republic clone troopers represented the future of galactic warfare. Far superior to battle droids, the clone troopers formed the backbone of the Republic's new military that waged war against the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. So symbolic were they of the times, the galaxy-wide conflict that saw their debut took its name from their ranks: the Clone Wars.
Nute Gunray
Neimoidians are known for their business skills, but Nute Gunray, Viceroy of the Trade Federation, was more cutthroat than most. It was Gunray who conspired with the Sith Lord Darth Sidious to launch the blockade and subsequent invasion of Naboo. Once the planet was under siege, Gunray attempted to force Queen Amidala to sign a treaty that would legitimize the occupation. Amidala escaped, and returned to infiltrate her own palace and blast through Gunray's protectors. Arrested by Republic officials, Gunray was carted off to answer for his crimes, but evaded imprisonment and kept his post.

Sep 18, 2012
A young man sought medical attention after a motorcycle mishap that led to multiple leg abrasions. One such lesion expanded rapidly and became progressively painful. The patient was alarmed when the center of the lesion turned dark.
Key point: The black, hard center represents an eschar. This type of morphology is almost always caused by a virulent organism—bacterial or fungal. Because of the outdoor, traumatic onset, a fungal etiology was suspected. A biopsy showed non-septate hyphae within the dermis, and a culture grew Mucor species (a saprophytic soil fungus).
Treatment: Wide surgical debridement and intravenous administration of liposomal amphotericin-B were required to stop the spread of the destructive lesion and thereby save the leg.
Note: Similar cases have occurred, in both adults and children, following significant automobile accidents.

Brown scores 30, but Charge fall in Bakersfield.
Gilbert Brown scored a Charge season high of 30 points, but it wasn't enough as Canton fell 112-104 to the host Jam in Bakersfield, Calif., on Thursday night.
The Charge, who trailed the entire second half, cut their deficit to three points twice in the fourth quarter on Antoine Agudio 3-pointers.
The second time, Atlanta Hawks assignee Jared Cunningham answered with a pull-up 3-pointer that put the Jam up 106-100 with 1:57 left. Canton never got it back to a single possession.
Cunningham led Bakersfield (8-8) with 22 points, including several big buckets in the fourth quarter.
The Charge played without center Arinze Onuaku (turf toe), and Bakersfield center Brian Butch took advantage. The former Wisconsin Badger totaled 21 points, 14 rebounds and five assists.
Butch and Cunningham combined to go 23-of-26 from the foul line. Bakersfield shot 42 free throws and made 31, compared to 19 attempts and 15 makes from Canton.
Brown hit 11 of 18 field goals, including 4 of 5 3-pointers. He totaled six rebounds, five assists and three steals for the Charge (9-5).
Jorge Gutierrez just missed a triple-double with 13 points, a career-high 13 assists, nine rebounds and four steals before fouling out for the Charge.
Agudio scored 17 points and Shane Edwards 16.

text: Gear Posted 07-12-2013 Smartbaits Change Color Unique temperature activated baits catch anglers' attention, fish Color-changing baits by Smartbaits™ By: The Outdoor Wire LAS VEGAS – As it hits colder water, blood appears on the bait. The fish see wounded prey and attack. Smartbaits™ are a new items grabbing attention at ICAST. The temperature activated color-changing baits have caught anglers' attention. "Smartbaits made a trial run at the Bassmaster Classic," said Sammy Lee, "and anglers' reactions -- including Classic competitors -- were amazing. Three legendary TV pros, all Bass Fishing Hall of Famers, called the patented technology 'industry changing.'" "Smartbaits' unique chemistry imitates wounded, bleeding prey fish, changing color at different water temperatures and depths," said owner Michael Dingman. "Predator fish, like large bass, hone in on those colors of injured, bleeding smaller fish and attack. "Smartbaits incite that attack. In cold deepwater or warm shallow water, just one Smartbaits lure quickly changes colors, inciting more fish strikes." "They do catch fish and do exactly what they say they do," said Lee, a former pro angler. Smartbaits is introducing a huge variety of hard baits in jerk, crank and vibrating styles plus soft baits in a variety of worms, grub and swimming baits. There are also reusable glow-in-the-dark baits that last for eight hours and a line for kids. "Youngsters are fascinated at how the baits rapidly change colors," Lee said. "It's an instant hit and a great way to get them involved, bonding in the outdoors and catching fish." Smartbaits' website is www.Smartbaits.net.

Democrats Call on Chairman Hunter to Help Military Widows
May 5, 2004
D.C. -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and 168 House Democrats
sent a letter today to Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan
Hunter calling on him to include the Widows Tax relief, supported
by 328 Members of the House of Representatives, in the 2005 National
Defense Authorization bill.
The Members
wrote: This penalty overwhelmingly affects elderly women and
has been referred to as the Widows Tax. This reduction
in benefits is currently causing severe hardship for many of the
surviving spouses whose benefits have already been reduced. Unless
corrected, the number of surviving spouses who will lose income
over the next decade will increase dramatically as more and more
survivors reach age 62.
The full text
of the letter follows:
May 5, 2004
Chairman Duncan
Armed Services Committee
2120 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Chairman
We are writing
to request that you include as part of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2005, legislation such as that provided in H.R.
548 to phase out the reduction in Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) benefits
suffered by surviving spouses of military retirees who reach the
age of 62. This policy has broad bipartisan support as evidenced
by the 328 Members of the House of Representatives who have agreed
to cosponsor the bill.
Despite such
widespread support, H.R. 548 has not been brought to the floor of
the House either as a stand-alone bill or as part of a Defense Authorization
Act. We believe that it is time to do so.
Many servicemembers
who agreed to pay premiums to provide their spouses with an adequate
retirement income in the event of their death were informed that
the SBP benefit payable to their survivors would be 55 percent of
their retirement benefit. The documents they signed did not include
any information to indicate that the benefits would be reduced to
35 percent when the spouses attained age 62.
This penalty
overwhelmingly affects elderly women and has been referred to as
the Widows Tax. This reduction in benefits is
currently causing severe hardship for many of the surviving spouses
whose benefits have already been reduced. Unless corrected, the
number of surviving spouses who will lose income over the next decade
will increase dramatically as more and more survivors reach age
We have heard
from surviving spouses who are struggling to meet basic living expenses
and who must make painful choices concerning food, fuel and housing
costs as the result of current law. These spouses were married to
persons who gave 20 or more years of military service. In many cases,
the survivors endured significant hardships, including months of
separation from spouses who were serving around the world.
The reduction
is unfair, unnecessary and unworthy of a Nation that can afford
tax breaks for wealthy individuals and corporations. We urge you
to include language in the 2005 defense authorization bill to eliminate
immediately or at least phase out the reduction over the next five

LONDON A Picasso painting of his muse has fetched $44.9 million at a London auction.
The 1932 work, "Femme Assise Pres d'une Fenetre (Woman Sitting Near a Window)," is a portrait of the artist's "golden muse," Marie-Therese Walter.
Picasso first met his muse in Paris in 1927, when she was 17 years old, and the pair subsequently became lovers.
Helena Newman, who heads Sotheby's Impressionist and Modern Art department in Europe, called the painting a "stunning and monumental portrait" from one of the most celebrated periods in Picasso's life.
She added Tuesday that there has been a strong market for Picasso's portraits of Walter among collectors in recent years.
Another portrait, "La Lecture," sold for 25 million pounds in 2011, double its pre-sale estimate.

What Is The Best Spy Phone Free Software?s
There are a few things you need to think about when trying to decide on the best cell phone monitoring software. One of the first things depends on exactly what you want to use the software for.
Spy Phone Free Software – Why Use It?
There are some Spy Phone Free software packages available if you are looking to monitor your child's cell phone or PC habits, for example. These are usually created in a manner that are highly visible and serve to act as a deterrent to your child in not behaving inappropriately when they are online or using their cell phones. Of course, in the case of monitoring your child's cell phone usage with software, they are probably going to be aware that you are keeping an eye on them, so having a stealthy or hidden software might not be so important.
If what you are trying to achieve is monitoring a spouse, for example, without them knowing about it, then a more discrete form of cell monitoring software will be required. By the way, there are some strict laws about snooping on adults in this way and these vary from State to State and country to country, so you should always ensure that you know where you stand legally before attempting to use the software apps in this way.
Spy Phone Free Software Functionality
Along with the need for discretion, you might also want to think about the functionality of the software.
Most of the up-to-date monitoring software apps allow you to intercept text messages, photos, emails and surfing history of a modern smartphone. Some allow you to track the phone's position by using Google Maps or other tracking apps. The top end of the range even allows you to listen in to live calls now or use the phone as a remote spying device. It will essentially dial in and use the microphone to listen in to the phone's surroundings. Obviously, functionality like this is going to cost you more than the more run-of-the-mill applications like text message recording and call history logging which pretty much come as standard fare these days.
What you just need to do is to:
1. Go to exactspy's web-site and purchase the software.
2. Download the application into the phone you want to monitor.
3. View the phone's data from any device that has Internet connection.
With exactspy-Spy Phone Free you will be able to:
• Monitor calls
• Track text messages
• Read emails
• Track GPS Location
• Monitor Internet Use
• Access Calendar and Address Book
• Read Instant Messages
• Record Surroundings
• Control Apps and Programs
• View Multimedia Files
• To Have Remote Control of the Phone and more…

I go waaay back, and the only name that comes to mind is Rick Mirer.
I have been a fan since 1986 and I don't remember O'Donnell, Esiason or Clemens being this bad. Nagle maybe?
Can any of you old timers remember worse play from the position?
I go waaay back, and the only name that comes to mind is Rick Mirer.
no. I have been a fan since 68. Never saw anything this bad. If any other QB played this bad he would havebeen benched, not given an extension.
Bad QB
Bad Coach
Bad GM
I saw a stat that Asschez is the 34th ranked QB. Can you fathom how bad that is. He is worse than every starter, AND 2 BACKUPS. And that is only against the backups that have played some. He is probably, in reality, worse than most 3rd string QBs.
Rex - He gives us the best chance to win.
I know he won a super bowl and all and he's in the HoF, but go check out Joe Willie #s from 1975. Imagine last night's game pretty much every week.
I remember seeing that guy in your avatar play. he was as bad or worse then assboy. whenever we saw #18 on the field due to a Namath injury or whatever, we knew the season was over.
12 months ago
I think it is the perfect storm of offensive ineptitude. Bad QB, no play makers, HC who knows nothing about offense, and an OC that really has no clue. When you combine all that is wrong you get an offense that looks like the Jets.
This is the worst qb play i have ever seen in the nfl. Any qb playing like this would be benched. So you never get to see this level of ineptitude.
I'd take Tom Tupa right now.
Rick Mirer.
If you're looking for a full-time answer: O'Donnell.

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.
"In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said, "You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven."
The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It represents a candle," he said. "You may pass through the pearly gates," Saint Peter said.
The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells." Saint Peter said, "You may pass through the pearly gates."
The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's glasses.
St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?"
The man replied, "They're Carol's."
In a small Southern town there was a "Nativity Scene" that showed great skill and talent had gone into creating it. One small feature bothered me. The three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets. Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, I left.
At a "Quick Stop" on the edge of town, I asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets. She exploded into a rage, yelling at me, "You damn Yankees never do read the Bible!" I assured her that I did, but simply couldn't recall anything about firemen in the Bible. She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled through some pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. Sticking it in my face she said
"See, it says right here, 'The three wise man came from afar.'"
My Sister's Christmas Rum Cake
Every year around this time, my sister makes an attempt to create what she says is her masterpiece of culinary delight (in fact, she usually makes two or three attempts) but alas, I have yet to sample even a tiny morsel of it.
Here is the recipe she uses:
1 or 2 quarts rum baking powder
1c. butter 1tsp. soda
1tsp. sugar lemon juice
2 large eggs brown sugar
1c. dried fruit nuts
Before you start, sample the rum to check for quality. Good, isn't it?
Now go ahead. Select a large mixing bowl, measuring cup, etc.
Check the rum again. It must be just right. To be sure rum is of the highest quality, pour one level cup of rum into a glass and drink it as fast as you can. Repeat.
With an electric mixer, beat 1 cup butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add 1 seaspoon of thugar and beat again.
Meanwhile, make sure that the rum is of the finest quality-- try another cup. Open second quart, if necessary.
Add 2 arge leggs, 2 cups fried druit and beat till high. If druit gets stuck in beaters, just pry it loose with a drewscriver.
Sample the rum again, checking for tonscisticity. Next sift 3 cups of pepper or salt (it really doesn't matter which).
Sample the rum again. Sift 1/2 pint lemon juice.
Fold in chopped butter and strained nuts. Add one babblespoon of brown thugar, or whatever color you can find. Wix mell.
Grease oven and turn cake pan to 350 gredees.
Now pour whole mess into the coven and ake. Check the rum again, and bo to bed.

Heston Altenbach was a great high school athlete and may have ended up crunching opposing ball carriers for the Southern Oregon University football team anyway, but it never hurts to have somebody on your side putting in a good word, singing your praises.
Especially if that guy happens to be SOU legend Griff Yates.
Altenbach was a three-sport star at Coquille, a small logging town of about 4,000 residents situated between North Bend and Bandon, about 70 miles west of Roseburg, but like many small-town standouts he received little interest from college scouts. That is, until Yates, another Coquille native, decided to step in. Yates is not just any Raider alum. He smashed every major rushing record at SOU between 1996 and 1999 — many of those record were later broken by Dusty McGrorty, but Yates' single season total and single season average-per-rush marks still stand — and has already been inducted into the Raider Hall of Fame.
Turns out, the Yates and Altenbachs are family friends, so in the spring of 2010, Altenbach's senior year at Coquille High School, Yates decided to call the SOU coaching staff to say, "Hey, we've got this kid who's a great athlete "¦ just give him a chance."
SOU defensive coordinator Berk Brown, who was on then head coach Steve Helminiak's staff, said sure.
"It's hard to say no to a recommendation from Griff Yates," Brown said.
Four years later, Yates has proven to be nearly as good at identifying talent as he was at pulverizing defenses.
Heading into his senior season, Altenbach has emerged as one of the most important players on a defense that Brown believes is the most talented he's coached at SOU. Altenbach has been moved around since arriving in Ashland, first playing free safety and later a little quarterback for the scout team. But he's settled in at outside linebacker, where he ranked fourth on the team in tackles in 2013 with an interception, a fumble recovery and three forced fumbles.
Equally important has been Altenbach's leadership, which is as crucial as ever on a team that is as green as it is skilled.
"He brings a couple things, first a sense of calmness and leadership," Brown said. "He's the type of guy that can always keep his cool when things get kind of hectic, and he's a source for the guys to look to and kind of regain their composure because he knows what's going on."
That didn't happen by accident. Altenbach did not limit himself to football in high school and usually manned a position that demanded respect — he was a first-team all conference basketball player, a second-team all conference pitcher in baseball, and yes, a quarterback as well as a first-team all league defensive back in football.
Once he arrived at SOU, however, Altenbach's first goal was to fit in.
"Coming to college, you kind of take a step back," he said. "I was the low man on the totem pole. But this year is going to be my fifth (season) here and we'd like almost everybody to fill that leadership role in a certain way. I always try to encourage people and lead by example, whether that be in the weight room or on the field, and always give 100 percent. That's been my main goal, to lead in that way."
To Brown, that subtle shift has made a big difference.
"He's been a guy who was an extremely quiet young man to begin with, but we saw glimpses in his ability to lead as an underclassmen," Brown said. "We wanted to foster him into somebody who wasn't always going to be that quiet guy, but a man that could hold a room and speak up because when he talks, everybody listens."
It probably doesn't hurt that Altenbach has, as Brown put it, "grown into" his position at outside linebacker. Once a skinny freshman with good closing speed, Altenbach through countless hours of weight training has transformed his body into a 6-foot-2, 215 pound bulldozer which, thanks in part to his QB and DB background, comes equipped with outstanding instincts against the pass.
That's the sort of skill set that's necessary for Altenbach because in SOU's defense outside linebackers are more or less hybrid defenders who must be able to do a little bit of everything, from blitzing quarterbacks to dropping back into coverage.
Currently, with more than a few new faces, that SOU defense is a work in progress, but Altenbach sees great potential.
"The motto for our defense is we're an attacking and swarming defense that makes plays, and as of now we are that," he said. "Our coaches are getting on us for effort and we're all running to the ball with intention, we're getting picks, working out holes in our coverage."
Altenbach expects the defense to continue to improve until the finished product is rolled out for the Raiders' season opener Aug. 30 at Menlo College. Coming off a 7-4 2013 campaign that did not live up to the team's sky-high expectations, Altenbach says that the Raiders — ranked 24th in the NAIA spring coaches' top 25 poll — are eager to prove that they're legitimate Frontier Conference and NAIA national title contenders.
Altenbach credits head coach Craig Howard with bringing in a can-do attitude when he was hired to replace Helminiak in 2011. At the time, the Raiders were nearly a decade removed from their last playoff appearance and were hardly a blip on the NAIA radar. But that didn't stop the charismatic, confident Howard from saying that his spread, no-huddle offense was going to run referees ragged and that the Raiders would contend for a national title. Less than two years later the Raiders won the Frontier Conference championship and advanced to the NAIA quarterfinals for the fourth time in program history.
Altenbach admits that initially he was thrown off by Howard's boldness. Now, however, he believes, which is part of the reason why he can't wait for his senior season to begin.
Another reason: the team bond, which Altenbach says is as strong as ever.
"Right now, everybody's truly a family," he said. "We're looking out for each other, we have each other's backs, and that's what builds a strong football team."
Strong enough to live up to Howard's expectations?
"Coming from a small school I never had an opportunity to win a state title, so when I first met (Howard) I was like, who is this crazy old guy coming in here saying these things," Altenbach said. "(Howard) said, 'I need all you guys with me; you need to jump into the pool with both feet.' After that, he was my favorite guy. I actually believed that we did have a chance (at a national title) and I still do.
"It's an exciting time for Raider football."

Nolan Bushnell can boast of some notable achievements in his remarkable career. He helped start Atari and Chuck E. Cheese.
But almost as important: Atari famously hired the young Jobs in 1974, a time when the future Apple founder was in his heavy spiritual exploration phase, shaving his head, traveling to India. Not the button-down corporate type by any measure.
Eventually, Jobs would leave and start a little company called Apple. But he remained friends with Bushnell over the years. And now Bushnell has released a new book published by Net Minds called, "Finding The Next Steve Jobs" that reflects on the larger lessons that flowed from hiring such an unorthodox person like Jobs.
PHOTOS: The top smartphones of 2013
The book is less about Jobs, and more about what Bushnell thinks companies need to do to rethink their hiring practices.

Beasts of the Southern Wild (PG-13) Beasts of the Southern Wild is a gumbo of melting snow caps, fragile father-daughter relationships, locavorism, Katrina conspiracy theories, and giant prehistoric pigs. Director Benh Zeitlin, making his feature film debut, finds the perfect locale for his celebration of mystical triumph over adversity in the swamps of Louisiana, and it could be argued that the location is the only thing fully realized in this film. Beasts introduces the audience to life in "The Bathtub," a community set on the Isle of Charles Doucet off the coast of Louisiana. The central characters are Wink (Dwight Henry) and his 6-year-old daughter Hushpuppy (Quvenzhane Wallis), a family barely scraping by on the chickens they raise in their yard and the catfish they catch in their boat made from a truck bed. Waking up one morning in the house she typically sleeps alone in, Hushpuppy is unable to find her father anywhere. After days of fending for herself, Wink finally stumbles home, obviously having just run away from a hospital. In a fit of rage, Hushpuppy sets the house on fire and runs into town. There, she and Wink discover everyone is evacuating in fear of a storm that's heading straight for them. Along with a handful of other holdouts, the two do their best to ride out the storm and show that nothing can tear them away from the land that they love. From the amateurish acting to the terrible editing, Beasts is an exercise in "don't believe the hype."

With 23 miles of beach frontage and 126 navigable miles of canals, it's not surprising that drowning deaths are common in Broward County.
In 2005 there were 47 drowning deaths, in 2006 there were 62 drowning deaths, and in 2007 there were 49 reported drowning deaths. The general epidemiologic pattern of these cases, however, is very similar, with most of the drownings occurring in freshwater (52 percent) and the remainder in canals and saltwater (48 percent).
In 2007, residential pools claimed 21 lives, while canals accounted for 11 lives and the ocean, seven. The other four fatalities occurred in lakes and rivers. The vast majority of drownings continue to be accidental, with suicide accounting for five deaths and one being ruled a homicide.
According to the Broward County's Medical Examiner, there were a total of seven drowning deaths of children ages 4 through 7 in Broward County from 2005 to 2008 — an average of fewer than two deaths a year. The majority of these drownings occurred in residential pools while children were unattended. Unprotected in-ground pools are 83 percent more likely to be involved in drownings than pools with complete four-sided isolation fencing. Children can drown in as little as one inch of water. For every child who drowns, four others are hospitalized for near-drowning, and as many as three suffer brain damage.

Feds don't want irrigation water used to grow pot
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The U.S. Interior Department said Tuesday it doesn't want federal irrigation water being used to grow marijuana in Washington, Colorado or anywhere else.
But the practical effects of the policy are limited: The Bureau of Reclamation said only that it would refer any violations to the Justice Department, and it seems unlikely that the Justice Department would target irrigation districts for supplying the water when it's not going after the people who are actually growing the pot.
"We're not an investigative agency. We're an agency that provides water to irrigation districts," said Dan DuBray, a spokesman for the Bureau of Reclamation in Washington, D.C. "The limit of our proactive stance is that if asked, we're not approving it, and if we become aware of it, we report it."
Furthermore, it's not clear the policy will apply at all in Colorado. The bureau left a big exception: If federally provided water is mixed with local water — in a reservoir, say — then it can be used in pot grows. In Colorado, many if not all water districts do "commingle" water in that manner. At least some do so in Washington, as well.
The question of whether federal water can be used to grow marijuana is the latest iteration of a messy conflict posed by the recent legalization of recreational marijuana in Washington and Colorado.
The DOJ announced last summer that even though marijuana remains illegal under federal law, it wouldn't sue to stop the states from licensing pot growers, processors and sellers as long as those operations are well regulated. But issues keep arising. It took a year for the FBI to agree to conduct background checks on pot-business applicants in Washington state, for example.
"The Department of Justice will continue to enforce the Controlled Substances Act and will focus federal resources on the most significant threats to our communities," the DOJ said in response to an inquiry about its intentions with regard to violations of Reclamation's new policy.
Reclamation provides irrigation water in 17 states, mostly in the West. The bureau operates giant dams and vast networks of canals that provide water through much of the arid West. That includes the mammoth Columbia Basin Project in Eastern Washington, which provides water for more than 600,000 acres of apples, potatoes, wine grapes and other crops.
Local water districts had asked the agency to set a policy on use of federal water to grow marijuana, DuBray said.
Historically, those districts have never regulated what crops are grown with the water they provide, and they're not inclined to start.
"Our underlying goal is to continue delivering water to our water users and leave policing to those with police powers," said Tom Myrum, executive director of the Washington State Water Resources Association.
Brian Werner echoed that. He's the spokesman for Northern Water, a public agency that works with Reclamation to provide water to more than 640,000 acres of irrigated farm and ranch land and about 860,000 people in northeastern Colorado.
"We're not in the enforcement business, and we don't plan on getting in the enforcement business," he said.
It's unknown how many legal marijuana growers in Washington are using or planned to use water from the Bureau of Reclamation. Washington's Liquor Control Board, which is in charge of regulating pot, doesn't track that, said spokesman Brian Smith.
One licensed grower in Eastern Washington said her farm is using federal water; she spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid drawing attention to that and risking having her water shut off.
She noted that other options exist. Under Washington law, growers in many parts of the state can use well water as long as they draw less than 5,000 gallons per day. But sinking a well would be at least a $10,000 expense she and her partners hadn't planned for, she said.
"Will they come and shut off the water?" she asked. "Or will they just send a note to the Justice Department and say, 'Hey, look over here'? That's the question."
All of Colorado's 980 licensed pot growers operate in greenhouses that use water from local water districts, which can include Reclamation water. Colorado does not permit outdoor marijuana cultivation, but pot growers there have been using federal water in licensed, indoor medical marijuana grows since 2010.
Three members of Congress from western states criticized the Reclamation Bureau decision. U.S. Reps. Jared Polis, D-Colo., Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., and Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., said it was one more action by the federal government that confused the marijuana issue.
"Today's decision again brings federal, state, and local law into conflict in a way that creates uncertainty among residents of states that have approved the use of marijuana," Blumenauer said. "The administration needs to give clear marching orders to the various agencies and for them to get in step to avoid problems like this in the future."
