It's not which congresscritter is more attractive so much as which one is the least frightening. And it's sort of frightening that Charlie Gonzalez of Texas has better makeup than so many of the women.

If Paul Sanborn were still alive today, he may have been honored to have a street named after him - but not at the cost of controversy or causing anyone hardship.
That is what the Cape Coral City Council determined Monday during its final regular meeting before the board is reconfigured in the wake of Tuesday's General Election.
The Council unanimously voted to deny the name change after hearing residents on El Dorado Boulevard register complaints about the proposed change to Paul Sanborn Boulevard, .
However, Council did leave open the possibility of either naming another street after Sanborn or giving him an honorary road, with the original name still intact.
Residents complained the name change would cause undue hardship, including having to change their driver license, passports, and all business they do with people to the new address, resulting in lost time and money.
Fred Rossiter said it would take an entire work week - 41 hours - to change all documents to the new street name, at a cost of up to $1,500.
Clifford Hicks said the old name would still be floating around, posing a risk for identity theft and having credit cards made out in your name.
Elmer Tabor, who along with Sanborn is one of the city's pioneers, said he supported the name change because Paul was a person who didn't have an enemy.
"It's kind of an oxymoron the kind of person he was and the controversy to naming the street after him. If you people knew him, you would approve it," Tabor said, adding that if a street is to be named after Sanborn, it should not just be honorary.
Former mayor Eric Feichthaler, who proposed the name change, said it was to honor a man who meant and did so much for the city in its infancy. He also wanted to end the confusion between El Dorado Boulevard and El Dorado Parkway, in the south end of town.
After hearing the arguments, Councilmember Richard Leon made the motion to deny the name change, adding, though, "I would pay $1,500 to change the name to Sanborn."
Leon proposed naming another street after Sanborn, such as Driftwood Parkway near the Yacht Club which Sanborn ran when it opened in the 1960s.
Mayor Marni Sawicki suggested naming Cultural Park Boulevard after him.
"There are many ways we can go, from honoring him with an honorary street. Staff had an idea to name the road around the city government after him," Leon said. "Whatever the residents think best would be a good idea."
El Dorado residents were happy with the decision.
"I'm jubilant because the burden is immense. It would have been catastrophic for us. Had the name change gone through, it would have exposed us to another layer of identity theft," Hicks said.
"I'm pleased as a resident the motion was denied. It saves us a lot of time, money and aggravation," Rossiter said. "I never knew (Sanborn) but he seemed like an honorable man that did a lot for the city and should be honored. But not so it inconveniences residents."
A companion resolution on the consent agenda regarding the city's street naming policy was also passed by council.
The policy was created to provide consistent criteria for naming or renaming streets in the city.
It said for honorary street designations, a commemorative street sign may be mounted above or below the official street name or free-standing signs may be placed along the route in each direction. Honorary street designations shall be considered and approved in the same manner as changing a street name.
The policy would not apply to state, federal or county roads.

MATH3078 Further Number Theory
Module Overview
Number Theory is the study of integers and their generalisations such as the rationals, algebraic integers or finite fields. The problem more or less defining Number Theory is to find integer solutions to equations, such as the famous Fermat equation x^n + y^n = z^n. In this module we build on the group, ring and number theoretic foundations laid in MATH1001, MATH2003 and MATH3086. We will first prove a structure theorem for the group of units modulo n. We then move on to the famous Gaussian Quadratic Reciprocity Law which yields an algorithm to decide solvability of quadratic equations over finite fields. Using geometric as well as algebraic methods, we will then characterise which integers can be written as the sum of two and four squares, respectively. The former leads us naturally to the study of binary quadratic forms, a central topic of this module. In the final part of this module, we will explore rings of integers in algebraic number fields; they generalise the role the integers play within the rational numbers; the simplest new example is the ring of Gaussian integers, Z[i]. We will investigate to what extent certain central properties of the integers, such as unique prime power factorisation, generalises to these rings. The deviation from unique prime factorisation is measured by the so-called ideal class group, probably the most important invariant of algebraic number fields. It can be seen that it is finite and that its order for quadratic number fields is intimately related to the number of equivalence classes of quadratic forms introduced earlier in the module.
Aims and Objectives

Russian Man Arrested For Attempted RapeA Thai girl who works in a beer bar notified the police after a Russian man invited her to a party then tried to rape her.
PATTAYA – March 31,2015 [PattayaDailyNews]; at 01.50 am Pol.Lt.Chakkrit Chantakham-inspector of Pattaya police station- was notified that a girl was attacked and a male had tried to rape her behind a motorcycle shop in Pattaya. After notification the police officers rushed to inspect the scene.
At the scene the officers found the girl who worked in a beer bar in Pattaya. She had blood stains on her shirt. She revealed that she was working in a bar and a fat Russian man approximately aged 35-40 years old had drank in the bar and was really drunk. Later when the bar closed the man invited her to a party so she decided to go with him.
Later when they reached the crime scene the Russian man attacked her and tried to rape her. During the attack she threw a rock at his head injuring him before she ran for help.
The officers then searched for the Russian man and found him hiding in the woods near the scene. He was identified as MR.ANPREY IGIVATYER aged 50 from Russia. The officers performed first aid on him before taking him to police station in order to prosecute him according to Thai law.

Dan Deacon: I Turn My Camera On
Dan Deacon must have been as sick of his one-man show as I was. There's only so much you can get out of a live performance that consists of one dude pressing a few buttons and singing through a Woody Woodpecker vocal filter. So the man at the center of Baltimore's thriving/fading (depending on your perspective) underground art-school scene brought more than a dozen of his friends on tour with him for this go-round and it sure made things more interesting.
Deacon still played the camp counselor role -- not pictured (Kyle had to go home and cry about the Celtics) are the "audience participation" moments when he led the exceedingly young audience members in a dance contest, gauntlet/London Bridge that stretched from the floor level to the balcony and other assorted Bar Mitzvah games. It's beyond ridiculous and wholly absurd, but hey, at least the kids are getting out from behind their blogs and getting some exercise, right?
And at least this time he had some of the campers on stage with him, making some actual music -- lots of drummers and keyboard players and it sure looked like there was a guy in a shark outfit playing clarinet at one point. Gold star goes to drummer Denny Bowen from Baltimore's finest, Double Dagger, who pounded the living hell out of his kit, which made those pulsing electronic beats seriously pounding. Upgrade.
Deacon's music is straight-up Nintendo rock, but give the man credit -- he knows how to make all those hyperactive blips and bleeps sound good. And it doesn't even matter that every song ends in the same old-school rave climax. No matter how many times he repeated the trick, the kids leaped toward the rafters just the same. Kyle Gustafson's pictures follow.

Fleet, owned by Magellan Aerospace, one of the largest unionized employers in Fort Erie, produces components for fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.
The 300 production workers and 50 office workers had walked out in response to Fleets demands to gut seniority rights and replace the plant-wide seniority system with seniority by job classification.
On January 19, the workers rejected by a vote of 255 to 1 essentially the same demands they had turned down last fall. Accepting these offers would have meant an immediate layoff of all employees and recall based on favoritism, not seniority. The company proposal stated, For the first six weeks following the resumption of operations, which will be a date specified by the Company following ratification, the Company has the right to recall employees out of seniority based on the companys need, as determined by the Company.
Strikers organized to win solidarity throughout the region for their fight. The unionists reached out to workers on strike against Anagram in St. Catherines and Niagara-on-the-Lake; to Steelworkers picketing at Washington Mills in Niagara Falls; and to members of the Canadian Auto Workers union who were locked out by Ronal Canada in Stevensville. There have been nine strikes and lockouts in the Niagara region over the last year.
On January 22, 100 strikers prevented replacement workers, escorted by police, from entering the factory in school buses with blacked-out windows. Strikers succeeded in stopping the scabs again the following day, with help from members of other unions in the region. This union solidarity pushed back company attempts to use scabs for several weeks.
Production workers rejected another company offer on February 8a proposal that was practically identical to the earlier onesby a vote of 221 to 6. The following day office workers rejected these offers by a vote of 24 to 20. During the week that followed, Fleet strikers and their supporters successfully blocked buses carrying scabs from entering the plant, in spite of a court injunction that limited picketing.
On February 13, faced with the fact that not one worker on strike had crossed the picket line, Magellan bosses announced that they were going to close the plant. William Matthews, the vice-president of marketing at Magellan, said when the group went on strike, we ran the plant with management and non-union. But we knew we couldnt do that forever. We exercised our legal right to bring in replacement workers and we were unable to do that.
The company said that there was enough work in the plant for a few months and offered strikers their jobs if they would cross the picket line and go back to work.
Local and national IAM officials on March 22 told the workers at Fleet that the best option to get severance pay from the company, given the announcement that the plant would be closing, would be to get back in the plant. The union leadership recommended that workers ratify the companys final offer, which they had rejected in February, and apply for severance benefits under section 80 of the Labor Relations Act.
In a phone interview with the Militant in late May, IAM member Julius Antal reported that the company refused to recognize the vote and immediately began recalling workers out of seniority. Workers report that the company sent out a letter to each employee stating that they did not recognize the March 22 vote. Upon returning to work, each worker was made to sign an individual contract with the company that specifies that no union activity is allowed in the plant.
In addition, Antal reported that two people were fired by the company, allegedly for just cause in relation to incidents that occurred during the strike. Over a dozen people never made applications under Section 80, because they did not want to return to work without a union contract and continue to picket outside the plant. While about 25 of the office workers who participated in the strike are back at work, about 20 office workers continue to picket.
Workers who have not been called back to work or who did not sign an individual contract with Fleet receive no severance pay and no unemployment benefits. One worker who is still picketing reported that workers in the plant had signed their first paychecks over to those still on the picket line.
The union has lodged an unfair labor practice complaint before the labor board, and is pursuing getting a severance package from Fleet.
As of the end of May, production in the plant is now running seven days a week, with the workers putting in a 48-hour workweek. On May 28, Fleet CEO Richard Neill sent a letter to the IAM stating that Fleet has no intention of reconsidering the decision to close the plant.
Despite Fleets success in restarting production without a union contract, some workers told this reporter that they are proud of the fight they waged. I told everyone at a union meeting we had recently that we should all be proud of what we did and hold our heads up high, because we stood together, said one worker, who is still on the picket line. But we didnt feel we could go any further in these conditions.

Super Adventure Rockman (スーパーアドベンチャーロックマン Sūpā Adobenchā Rokkuman) is an interactive movie game and prime spin-off for the classic Mega Man series of video games from Capcom. Its gameplay is a combination of adventure game and shooting game. The game alternates between animated cutscenes, making decisions from a list of text options or arrows, and fighting in a first-person shooter mode.
The game was released only in Japan, on June 25, 1998 for Sony PlayStation and September 23, 1998 for Sega Saturn.
In the 21st century, ancient ruins suddenly appeared in the Amazon Rainforest in South America. The United Nations called scientists around the world to discover everything possible about the ruins. The scientists discovered that there was a strong eletromagnetic field around the ruins that was capable of ceasing almost all the machinery that got close to it, including robots. Nothing electronic could reach it, making the investigation a difficult one. One year later, the U.N. ceased the investigation, claiming the ruins were from the Maya civilization. They named the ruins "Lanfront Ruins" and the pyramid "Temple of the Moon".
Three years after this, Doctor Albert W. Wily, now working together with Doctor Thomas Light, went to investigate the ruins because the electromagnetic field started increasing, this being a good chance to clear his name. A few days later, Wily uncovered an ancient alien super computer inside the temple, Ra Moon, which revived his various Robot Masters from Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3 by analyzing the information about them in Dr. Wily's laptop. Wily thought it would be a great chance to conquer the world.
Three weeks after Wily found Ra Moon, the electromagnetic field begins to affect all the machinery and electronics around the world. Roll falls into a coma because of the electromagnetic field, and Wily makes a worldwide broadcast saying to the world surrender for him in two weeks, or else he will shut down all machinery, which would effectively kill Roll and all the robots around the world, and without them, humans would die as well. Dr. Light quickly immunizes Mega Man and his brothers (the Robot Masters from Mega Man 1: Cut Man, Elec Man, Ice Man, Fire Man, Bomb Man, and Guts Man) from the electromagnetic field, and sends them to stop Dr. Wily before it's too late. During the adventure, Mega Man and his comrades fought their way to the source of Electromagnetic field, Ra Moon, battling the Robot Masters from Mega Man 2 and 3 in the process. In the end, Mega Man manages to destroy Ra Moon and the electromagnetic field ceases, Roll recovers and all the machinery around the world starts functioning again.

- The opening and ending themes of the game, Electrical Communication and Brand New Way, are the same from the Japanese version of Mega Man 8.
- Although the game states that the story happens in the Amazon Rainforest, the map shown in the game (See above) shows Chocó, a department in the west of Colombia, that isn't related to the Amazon Rainforest. However, this region is also a rainforest.
- The indicated area is also very close to the Las Tangaras Bird Reserve.
- Additionally, the Maya civilization didn't live in South America; they lived in what is now Mexico and Guatemala.
- Keiji Inafune considers Super Adventure Rockman to be one of the worst titles of the original series due to the overall darker tones it takes in comparison to other entries in the series, like helicopters with human pilots being taken down by Wily.[1]
- Quick Man is the only Robot Master in the game that Mega Man tries to make peace with.
- Some fans speculate that this is because Quick Man is Dr. Wily's second-in-command and the most popular Robot Master of Mega Man 2.
- Before the fight, it is revealed by Wood Man that Shadow Man has been completely destroyed and cannot be rebuilt. Shadow Man is also the only Robot Master not to be shown revived by Ra Moon at the end of the game.
- This may have to due with Shadow Man's integrated circuit being destroyed, though this may not be the case, as Shadow Man does reappear in other games, though whether or not the Shadow Man that does appear in later games is a copy is debatable.
- The continuity of this game is not made clear, the latest the game could occur before is Mega Man 5, due to the lack of that game's Robot Masters and the appearance of Beat.

Houston's Own "National Treasure"
A Legacy No Man Wants to Leave to His Sons
Houstons' own "National Treasure" Funding the Cure He Couldn't Find
Houston, Texas – June 28, 2009
It was 1999 when Houston native Tony Masraff had to tell his family that he would be leaving a legacy of which he was not proud.
And then he learned something which drove him to do all that he could to change the course of history. He learned that although they might not know it yet, one man in every six men will be leaving the same legacy to their sons!
Tony was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Which means that his sons face a 33% increased risk of receiving the same diagnosis. "This is NOT the legacy I want to share with my sons or have them pass along to my grandsons." said Masraff.
At the fine young age of 66, Masraff launched a foundation, dedicated to funding research for the cure he could not find. Never having so much as run around the block, he ran the Houston Marathon with his daughter Markley. "He did it! My Dad, completed the race in 5 hours, and raised $120,000, despite the fact that he had to crawl the last 15 feet!" said proud daughter Markley Masraff Berg.
You can understand why Tony has been referred to as a 'national treasure'. This past spring, the government announced additional cut-backs in research funding. Many labs across the country were forced to close. To date Masraff has raised approximately $2.7.M to fund a dedicated team of researchers at the University of Texas, M D Anderson Cancer Center, pursuing a preventive vaccine and a non-invasive cure for prostate cancer. They have made great strides and are closing-in on the cure, in the form of a vaccine using a protein which they discovered and refer to as GLIPR1.
"Unlike most foundations formed around medical causes, I'm not looking for breakthrough treatments, new surgical techniques or the next best medication to control the effects of this disease. Research dollars going towards treatments (vs cures) support an industry of illness and disease! " said Masraff. "Think about the revenue generating areas like pharmaceutical production of medications, manufacturing and sales of diagnostic machines, surgical supplies and treatment program research, salaries and capital campaigns for the design and construction of new hospital buildings. It's a big business and very lucrative for all involved. The truth is that the non-profit medical centers are profit minded. My desire is to put them all out of business by supporting our researchers in discovering a cure!" said Masraff.
Masraff has inspired others to have their own legacy include a CURE for Prostate cancer. Vintners from all over the world are partnering with Masraff and will be offering their finest wines at the Evening of Hope Wine Extravaganza, in October at Masraff's own fine dining restaurant. Local partners include Houston's own firefighter calendar boys: MEN ON FIRE, individual volunteers, small businesses and national corporations.
Tony's Prostate Cancer Research Foundation was established by Tony Masraff and is supported exclusively by a dedicated group of volunteers. Tony can be found at his restaurant Masraff's on Post Oak, unless he is enjoying the outdoors or his role as Patient Advocate, bringing men and their families hope, support and information.

Champagne Adds Sparkle to #CITForum 2014 at Chewton Glen
Delegates pop their corks at CIT Forum's champagne discovery session hosted by Champagne Jayne
Organised by Conference and Incentive Travel, the UK's leading title for the meetings and events industry, the annual CIT Corporate Forum on January 23rd & 24th 2014 brought together the Top 100 UK suppliers and buyers in the global MICE industry for a series of best practice workshops, intimate industry networking sessions and lavish entertainment.
Adding extra sparkle to this year's event, hosted over 2 days at privately owned Luxury Country Hotel and Spa Chewton Glen, 80 VIP guests were treated to a pre gala dinner champagne discovery masterclass by award-winning broadcaster Jayne Powell (better known as Champagne Jayne).
Showcasing a diverse range of champagne styles blind, 2012 Champagne Educator of the Year Champagne Jayne shared top tasting tips and enthralled guests with fascinating facts about the world's most enigmatic wine…
Champagne No 1: Tesco's Finest Brut Premier Cru
Due to their buying power, UK supermarkets are able to source great value/quality champagnes which they sell on to customers at very attractive prices, as a way to drive footfall into their stores.This gold medal winning beautifully balanced champagne made by Union Champagne in Avize especially for Tescos is a bargain find, full of ripe fruit, good structure and decent palate length at a very reasonable price.
Champagne No 2: Virginie T Brut (70% Pinot Noir/30% Chardonnay)
Having spent 21 years in the family business alongside her father Claude Taittinger, 4th generation Virginie Taittinger decided to branch out and create her own champagne – selling direct to the final consumer and thereby reducing distribution costs, whilst creating more value for champagne lovers. Champagne Virginie T Brut's first release of 150,000 bottles is sexy and silky smooth in style, fruity and mouth-filling yet elegant and well-structured, black grape dominant made from primarily grand cru grapes (75%).
Champagne No 3: Sainsburys Taste The Difference Brut Rose
Rose champagne has been in and out of fashion since the first example was made by Veuve Clicquot in 1777 and is usually more expensive than standard 'white' champagne because its production involves extra steps. This pale and elegant rose style made for Sainsburys by Champagne Duval Leroy is a delight to behold, full of raspberry fruit and zest but finishes dry and represents amazing value for money.
Champagne No 4: Piper Heidsieck 2006 (51% Pinot Noir/ 49% Chardonnay)
Tasting a vintage champagne is an altogether different experience than non-vintage. Firstly there is no 'blending' effect as all the grapes come from a single year (and usually the best vineyards) which means the flavours are more focused, and secondly the champagne will show more individuality and longer palate length. Voted Philip and Holly's favourite from the ITV This Morning champagne taste off and made by one of Champagne's most awarded sparkling winemakers, Regis Camus, Piper Heidsieck 2006 is zesty and fresh with elegant fruit and a lingering creamy palate, the perfect accompaniment to any celebration.
Jayne Powell (aka Champagne Jayne) provides a uniquely rich yet accessible introduction to the world's most enigmatic wine. Dubbed the 'Champagne Socialist' by Financial Times and awarded Champagne Dame status (Dame Chevalier) by the champagne industry in recognition of her global efforts to democratise prestige, Jayne is a multi-award winning author and champagne educator, freelance lifestyle journalist and special events MC who helps Top 100 companies around the world uncork business and pleasure.

(Male) apparel shopping in Bangkok
Hello fellow expats,
As a fashion-aware (male) individual, I am struggling a little bit in the city of Angels. Thanks to the tropical climate, I have to renew most of my wardrobe. Back home I used to shop in the upper midrange segment, but in Bangkok it seems I cannot find anything reasonably well-cut (with natural light fabric) at sound price. Ugly, low quality, China made products as well as overpriced luxury Italian designer brands are plentiful but I find decent midrange options to be truly lacking.
Any good advice on where to shop (ready-made but I am also considering bespoke, provided I can find good quality material and reputable tailor) or any reputable local brand you may recommend?
Thank you,

David Chase Talks About 'The Sopranos' and "Failing Upward"
The director spoke at the Digital Biscuit conference in Dublin.
David Chase, the multi-Emmy-winning writer and creator of The Sopranos, told a conference in Dublin Friday about his early career, including his original goal of becoming a filmmaker, his early jobs in soft porn and the work in an American writers room.
"It's a very painful and scary process of waiting for something to pop," he said about the U.S. writing process.
Speaking at the Digital Biscuit film and technology forum, he said, "I wanted to be a filmmaker," when asked about his move from New York to the West Coast early in his career.
Read more 'Amelie' Cinematographer Talks Film vs. Digital
"I guess I thought that was not attainable," Chase explained, as to why he ended up not focusing on directing but writing. At Stanford's film school, Chase said he was one of a few students interested in fictional films rather than documentaries, a big focus of the school.
His teacher sent Chase's screenplay to a TV producer, he recalled. After trying to get film work with a friend who got discouraged and left, Chase said he ended up crewing in "soft-core pornography." The film was set in Germany and included tanks, he recalled.
Then he finally got a job as an assistant editor, rewinding and cleaning film. And eventually, Universal Studios gave him a job on an episode of a TV show. "They didn't like it," he said. "Nobody told me about any time-frame issues." The hourlong legal show script took him three months to write, and it was changed, Chase said.

With the Universal job, he said, he was "forced" to join the writers' guild. He quipped that he originally thought they'd work to get him jobs, like a plumbers' union. He had to picket one day and was upset "because they hadn't gotten me a job," he recalled.
The story editor of a show then brought him onboard followed by work on Kolchak: The Night Stalker. "I never stopped working" from there, Chase said.
"I really enjoyed" working on The Rockford Files, Chase revealed. At that time, Chase said he felt good about his writing but didn't know where it stood in the industry since he wasn't watching TV himself.
"I lost my desire to do my own stuff" because he loved the family atmosphere on the show, lauding James Garner and his colleagues. But he said he ended up leaving the show and looking for new opportunities.
The first original series he created was Almost Grown on CBS, which he said was short-lived. "I [then] had development deal after development deal." He added: "I was failing upward."
Asked about how the success of The Sopranos came about, he said he was known as an A-list showrunner after his work on Northern Exposure but said he doesn't really like the term "showrunner."
Watch more 'The Sopranos' Blu-ray Extra
The Sopranos had been a movie idea, and HBO started feeling "the sitcom was coming to an end," so it was looking for drama, Chase said. "We believe that you have in you a groundbreaking TV series," he recalled, saying that he didn't understand, as he had "nothing but contempt" for the medium of TV to begin with.
But the show ended up being produced, and Chase said HBO made a "brave choice." He said the show didn't test well outside the New York area, but HBO went ahead with it anyway.
He had an extended debate with HBO about the title of the show though. "They wanted us to call it Family Man, and I was nauseated by that," he explained. Then The Family Guy came out, and that was the end of it."
Chase was also asked how much he spoke out earlier in his career. "I wasn't a kamikaze pilot," he replied. "But there is so much nauseating stupidity out there."
Chase's appearance brought to an end the third annual Digital Biscuit event, which also featured such speakers as Michel Gondry and The Black List founder Franklin Leonard. He drew such a big crowd that event organizers filled the main room and an over-flow room.
Last year, speakers included Borgen producer Camilla Hammerich.

I have a pear shaped body with not much in the chest area. I do have abs though and very muscular legs with thick thighs. I'm 5'3" and 135 lbs and it's pretty much all solid, mostly concentrated in the lower body (butt, thighs, calves, etc). I'm not pale but don't really have what you would call a tan either. I look like someone who enjoys having fun doing outdoor things but doesn't go tanning, if that makes sense.
Outfit ideas please!

I sort of have your body shape. I use to wear low regular jeans, and knee length skirts with 3/4 sleeve shirts. I am trying not to wear knee length skirts anymore, just because some people have told me I look like a grandma when I do.

Interview: Conrad Hametner, VP Marketing on Qipit mobile scan, copy, fax
August 31, 2007 at 4:17 pm Richard E Tucker 1 comment
Regular readers of inbabble.com will have seen a number of interviews with fax, scan, copy mobile applications. We have chatted to ScanR, Comombo and now to round it out we chat to Conrad Hametner, VP Marketing, US from Qipit who we profiled in an Opinion post in late July. So what makes them different, how do they stand out? read on to find out…
Can you provide a brief description for our readers on the qipit applications please?
Hametner: qipit is a free mobile online copy service for camera phone or digital camera users that allows people to copy, store, fax, email or publish online "physical world" information such as documents, drawings, whiteboards, print articles, or handwritten notes to name a few. In a nutshell, qipit turns your digital camera or your camera phone into a portable scanner, copier, and fax machine. Plus it is extremely simple: if you know how to take and upload pictures, then you know how to qipit!
How do you distribute the qipit product, via online download primarily or other sources?
Hametner: Registration to qipit is easy, online at http://www.qipit.com or by just emailing or sending an image at email@example.com. qipit does not require the user to download or install any software on the camera phone or digital camera. It works with any device, right out of the box (provided the camera has a resolution of at least 1 megapixel).
qipit is provided free of charge, what is the revenue model planned for the future? Drive purchases of your other products, or larger volume plans for "pro" users?
Hametner: We have chosen to have a simple, readable, understandable model: the basic qipit service is free. We believe that if adoption and usage continue to grow fast, several revenue models will be possible to implement, depending on user variables that we have chosen not to read yet. We will disclose these when we are ready to introduce them to our users. We will introduce tailored offerings for "pro" users with more capacity but also with advanced scanning features, at a later date.
We have interviewed a few products in the past including ScanR and Comombo. How does your product compare to their products?
Hametner: First of all, let me remind at this point that we publicly introduced mobile scanning as a commercial service back in early 2005 (at the 3GSM World Congress), before any of the companies you mention existed. We have since then enjoyed seeing several competitors enter the mobile document scanning market.
We see Comombo as having a very specific approach, focusing on fax, and therefore limited to black and white 1-bit depth images, and requiring users to download a client software on their handsets. In our five years experience, this model does not support extensive growth. We might be wrong, but we understand Comombo as a tool for tech-savvy business persons. We have chosen a much broader approach, making qipit not a tool but a lifestyle service that can be used as a tool by those same people who could use Comombo, but that is also used by a much wider range of people, from kids to Moms, using it to publish, exchange or copy anything from doodles to contracts, and from drawings to love notes.
Since its introduction, ScanR has implemented a service that looks more similar to ours. It has introduced several ancillary features such as business cards scanning and OCR and, although we are not yet convinced of the real value of these features for our own target market, we are watching them with constant interest and attention. Mobile document scanning is a nascent market, and none of us knows where the "truth" of the market lies yet; so it is very important to be open and observe all initiatives in this area. To answer your question, we have focused our efforts on the qipit user experience rather than on multiple features, streamlining qipit and making it accessible to the largest number. For instance, we offer a simple and straightforward choice between colour and black & white copies, as on any copy machine. We also feature, per our users feedback, online tagging, document / page rotation, and publishing of documents.
What is the plan for qipit over the next say 18 months?
Hametner: Grow and improve towards more ease of use and better user satisfaction. But seeing is believing, especially in mobile imaging, right?
Hamish M.

Looks very cool, and bound to sell a few more iPad 2s! Source: Firemint

I recently got my dna tested and yes there is some Iberian in there
Modern population genetics suggests that the ancestors of the majority of English people were not fifth-century Anglo-Saxon invaders, but actually came from the 'Basque' region of South West France and northern Spain. What is perhaps even more surprising is that they arrived on these shores thousands of years ago. This turns one prevailing view of English national identity on its head, argues Stephen Lewis.
If you ask a person in the United States what is means to be American, their first response is often couched in terms of values, perhaps freedom, human rights and democracy. The more historically aware might even make mention of the War of Independence or the articles and meaning of the American Constitution. The English language might just get a look in; but as America becomes more multilingual this seems less and less critical.
There is no doubt that numerous Americans seek their roots throughout the…

This Easter Long weekend we will return to our valley paradise, located inland from Byron Bay NSW. The beautiful 3000 acre private property is nestled right down the end of a private valley that is surrounded by sand stone cliffs and state forest stretching out in all directions. The flat grassy valley floor is perfect for camping and there are some enchanting sections of forest perfect for building our festival village. We are so happy to return to the place we now call home. It's a truly beautiful property that installs an instant feeling of freedom, peace and tranquility as soon as you arrive. For your comfort we will be bringing in hot showers, new composting toilets & installing drinking water taps. Please respect the property and these facilities so we can continue to gather here for years to come. ☺

KINGS POINT, N.Y.—A United States Merchant Marine Academy professor faces dismissal for joking about the Colorado massacre in front of his students.
A student's father was among the shooting victims.
The New York Times ( http://nyti.ms/NCVm4f) says Gregory F. Sullivan has been suspended from his tenured position as humanities instructor.
The Times says the academy on Kings Point, Long Island, also informed Sullivan on Aug. 10 that he had 10 days to contest his dismissal.
According to an internal personnel document, Sullivan said: "If someone with orange hair appears in the corner of the room, run for the exit."
He had just turned down the lights to show a documentary.
Colorado suspect James Holmes has dyed orange hair.
Sullivan offered an apology to the students and faculty. He declined comment to the Times.

The scenery is supposed to take your breath away when you're on vacation -- not asthma. But too often, it's the other way around.
Dr. Yoav Golan, assistant professor of medicine at New England Medical Center in Boston, and several other colleagues recently studied 203 vacationers with asthma. Eighty-eight of these travelers experienced asthma attacks during their trips. Of these, 32 reported their "worst asthma attack ever." Eleven had life-threatening episodes.
Two factors seemed to especially increase the risk for trouble: a recent history of needing inhaled bronchodilators three or more times per week prior to the trip, or exertion at higher elevations during the trip (many of the travelers were high-altitude hikers). The higher use of bronchodilators indicated that some people's asthma was unstable even before the added stress of a vacation.
Even if your vacation plans don't include scrambling over the Alps, you need to make sure you're prepared for an unexpected asthma attack. That means keeping your inhaler close at hand while you're away from home. You also want to check in with your doctor before you leave to see if you should adjust your medications.
Unfortunately, few travelers had done these things in Golan's study, setting themselves up for unnecessary grief. "Almost all failed to predict any problem," he says.
Travel can be tough on people with asthma because new locales can expose them to disease triggers they don't normally experience, says Dr. Stanley Goldstein, spokesman for the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. That includes things like new allergens, molds, cold and dry air, or secondhand smoke.
1. Carry a good supply of medications and your inhaler and nebulizer in your carry-on luggage, not in your checked bags. If you're headed overseas, you'll also need to pack a universal plug adapter for your nebulizer because your North American plug may not fit the outlets. 2. Take all medicines in their original pharmacy containers, and make sure the name on the bottles matches the name on your passport. Otherwise, unforgiving customs officers could confiscate your medicines. 3. Find out what medical facilities will be available at your destination. Keep their names and addresses handy. Your travel agent can help with this. 4. Many international flights allow smoking. Make sure you're seated well away from the tobacco smoke, and ask to move if someone lights up near you. 5. Take along a dust-proof pillow and mattress cover. This can protect you from unfamiliar allergens on hotel beds.

The food is the same here, but the clientele makes this one of the hippest Valley early-morning/late-night hangouts. Studio executives, trendy teenagers, actors and suburbanites all frequent Du-par's.

This knowledge area is focused on acquiring, developing and managing the people who will work on the project. To finalize the human resource management plan, we need those resource estimates that are produced in the schedule knowledge area that tell us what skill sets we need and how much work the people have to do. From that we can plan what resources we need to acquire and how to acquire them. Once the project management plan is in place including the human resource plan, we move into executing and there we have all three of the remaining human resource processes. First, we acquire our resources following the HR plan. It also tells us how we will develop those resources with training and other skill requirements they need to complete their specific assignments on the project. The HR plan specifies how we'll manage the project team, all the way through releasing them to return to their other duties.

Antibody Targets Multiple Flu Strains With Long Protein Fingers
Fall brings many lovely things - falling leaves, pumpkin-spiced lattes - but also some unpleasant things, like influenza.
Influenza is a tricky disease to combat, because it's not just a single illness, but more like an entire family of afflictions. Drugs and vaccines that target one strain may not work on another due to small mutations between two kinds of flu. Still, scientists dream of universal vaccines and universal therapies that could throttle pandemics before they even have a chance to spread.
Now, a recent paper in Nature describes an antibody that can target many subtypes of influenza at once.
Scientists from the Scripps Research Institute and Sea Lane Biotechnologies worked together to isolate and describe the structure of the antibody, called C05. C05 can recognize and attach to a region on the outer coat of the virus called the receptor binding site, or RBS. When the antibody binds to this region, it blocks the virus's ability to attach to a host cell.
Best of all, the RBS seems to be a fairly standardized part amongst influenza A strains, including H1, H2, H3 and H9 subtypes.
It covers all the pandemic strains in humans, senior author and Scripps researcher Ian Wilson said in a phone interview.
Previously, scientists hadn't thought that an antibody could dock at such a small binding site.
But C05, which Sea Lane isolated from a huge library of antibodies generated by people exposed to various kinds of flu, has a special kind of structure. Antibodies latch onto their targets using two arms, which are each equipped with six protein fingers shaped like loops. Usually an antibody fixes itself on a target by bear-hugging it and the surrounding structures, which can vary between strains.
C05, however, has one single protein loop on each arm that is elongated.
This enables it to poke into the site without touching the rest of the binding site, Wilson explains.
This 'one-finger grip' is what allows C05 to latch onto so many different influenza strains. It also appears that C05 works best when it is grabbing onto two RBSs with both of its long protein fingers, according to Wilson.
In lab experiments, C05 warded influenza A viruses away from cells in Petri dishes. When the antibody was administered to mice, it protected them against the flu even when the animals were exposed to lethal flu doses. C05 also worked as a therapy for mice already infected with influenza.
But characterizing the antibody is just the first step. To even begin to develop a vaccine that exploits C05's nimble fingers, scientists will have to develop a component that will mimic the viral RBS, in order to provoke a patient's immune system into creating antibodies against it. There is also the possibility that doctors could administer antibodies directly to patients to treat or prevent influenza.

Autism, Cerebral Palsy, and being an "Adult Baby"...#79
by, 16-Apr-2014 at 04:33 (588 Views)
For me, the most "baby-like adult diaper" I can get my hands on "locally" is the TRANQUILITY ATN Brand. Only place to purchase them is at the Colonial Medical Supply Store in Nashua, NH. I only use them at night and nap times. The rest of the time I use Walgreen's Pharmacy CERTAINTY diapers or Rite-Aid "Fitted Briefs". Why the hell do they call adult-sized diapers "FITTED BRIEFS". DARN! For crying out loud, they are a "diaper", irrespective of "physical size.
Anyway, I feel happiest at my "daily" Baby-Time, secure between my side safety rails, hugging "La-La" Lamb plush friend. When I am "regressed" to babyhood every night at bedtime and at my naptimes, I get into a very "childlike" mindset. I "shut-out" adult thoughts and feelings, and I hyper-focus on long buried "simple" cognitive thoughts and feelings. In "Baby Mode" I can not speak, and only make soft little grunts. I clutch "La-La" Lamb, and my mind only concentrates on his "tactile" feel in my hands, and on my skin on my tummy. As I lie flat on my back, my Cerebral Palsy affected legs spastically "lock" into thighs splayed-apart, knees locked, and I end-up falling asleep and waking up hours later in the night, experiencing neuromuscular spasticity pain. It of course does not matter what physical position I fall asleep in. With spastic diplegia type Cerebral Palsy, "no leg position is comfortable for any length of time".
Anyway, it is late night, and it will be another 90 minutes before I get to bed.

DCT's Exclusive Interview with Troy WR Jerrel Jernigan
While the Cowboys are pretty set at receiver in 2011, they could surely benefit from acquiring a talented slot receiver for the future. Roy Williams, Miles Austin, and Dez Bryant are all suited to play outside, and when defenses take away Jason Witten over the middle, the 'Boys are frequently left without a reliable Wes Welker-esque target on 3rd and short to medium.
With so much money tied up in the receivers already, however, the Cowboys won't place a high priority on securing another playmaker at the position during the draft. That makes Troy's Jerrell Jernigan, whose recent 4.32 40-yard dash at his Pro Day figures to vault him into the second or third-round, a somewhat unlikely prospect for Dallas.
Crazy things can happen come draft day, however, and if for some reason Jernigan would slide, his quickness over the middle and ability to convert third-downs could make him an option for the 'Boys. If the team places an emphasis on securing a top-notch return man, Jernigan's value could soar for Dallas.
DCT correspondent Justin Shoemaker recently spoke with Jerrel about his draft prep and NFL idols, among other things.
Q: How is your draft prep going? What have you been doing since the Combine?
A: It's going well. I recently took a brief break for spring break, and it was much-needed. I have been training and doing some private workouts, including with Atlanta. I also have a workout scheduled with Minnesota, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, and New England.
I also just signed a deal with Adidas, so I've had photo shoots and other things like that. It's very hectic, but I'm enjoying it.
Q: What sort of things did you do for Atlanta?
A: They had me catch balls from the Jugs machine and do some other punt return drills.
Q: Were you satisfied with your Combine performance? Is it a relief now that it's all over?
A: I was happy with my broad jump and vertical. I also didn't drop any balls in the receiver drills and I ran the deep routes well. I got a lot of compliments on the deep catches, which is important for me.
Q: Were you able to sleep the night before your on-field tests? How nerve-racking was the experience?
A: I was nervous, but I had a lot of former teammates call to relax me. The entire Combine was very business-like. They break up your schedule and try to throw you off from your normal workouts. One day he had to wake up at 3:00 a.m. to go weigh in.
Q: What were your Combine interviews like? What was the strangest question you were asked?
A: I've heard of a lot of strange questions, but for me they were pretty basic. I thought I prepared well and did a nice job with the interviews. Nothing was too crazy or off the wall.
Q: Were you happy with your 4.32 40-yard dash at your Pro Day?
A: Yes, I was very happy and excited about that. I thought it represented my true speed.
Q: Do you know where you'll be watching the draft?
A: In my hometown–probably at my Grandma's house.
Q: How would you feel about being a Cowboy? Have they contacted you at all?
A: I would love to be a Cowboy since they have a great Troy player already in DeMarcus Ware.
Q: Do you have a good relationship with DeMarcus?
A: Yes, sir. DeMarcus has visited Troy several times and we've talked a lot and become friends.
Q: Which NFL team did you root for while growing up in Alabama?
A: Atlanta was the closest, so I grew up a Falcons fan.
Q: Who were some of your favorite NFL players as a kid?
A: Michael Vick, L.T., Randy Moss, and Peyton Manning. Michael Vick was always number one, though, because of what he brings to football. I'm still a Michael Vick fan now, even with him in Philly.
Q: In addition to Troy, who else recruited you out of high school?
A: Well, my top two choices were Troy and Auburn.
Q: What made you choose the smaller school?
A: Auburn was really high on me from the beginning, but they backed off just a little at the last minute. Troy was really interested the entire time, and it just felt right, so I chose Troy. I'm happy with that decision.
Q: What do you think you'd be doing if you weren't playing football? What was your major?
A: I majored in Criminal Justice. If I wasn't playing football, I think I would be in a juvenile detention center working with kids, most likely.
Q: Do you pay attention to the hundreds of mock drafts on the internet or draft analysis on ESPN or the NFL Network?
A: I try to not pay too much attention because it can drive you crazy, but it's always on. Even if I turn off the TV and go online, I can't get away from people talking to me about the draft on Facebook and Twitter.
In most mock drafts, I see myself in the middle or late part of the second-round. I'd be happy with that, but you never know.

Friday, December 22, 2006
So, I did an interview with a gentleman by the name of Guy Jacobson, who wrote and produced a film called 'Holly', based on an experience he had being solicited for sex by a group of 5 to 7 year old girls while travelling in Cambodia. His production company and info about the film can be seen at www.PriorityFilms.com and the grassroots organization he founded to help combat the worldwide epidemic of child exploitation can be found at www.redlightchildrencampaign.com. I did the interview, checked some facts, got information from the US State Department website concerning the Trafficking in Persons Report, an expose Dateline NBC has done on the topic, etc. I published the piece at www.losangeles.broowaha.com and very soon after got a complaint from a gentleman, an expat, who lives in Cambodia, saying that I was sensationalizing the issue, that it is a mostly underground thing, essentially that I was making the country look bad. So this is what it's like to have your work disputed... Now, I am totally not saying that the work was major or that the dispute was that big of a deal, but I now have a low level idea of what it feels like to have a piece of my writing to be disagreed with, shall we say.
