Not afraid to be a nerd
Essay | Chelsea Kolz
This spring break I bring a passel of three friends home with me, to see my sights. Even on spring break my friends sit at the breakfast table declining Greek verbs for amusement.
In the afternoons, we read in the local library. They deliberate the ethics of cloning and devise mathematical equations to create spiral graphs in Microsoft Excel.
And what are nerds? Nerds, I don’t mind conjecturing, are people who are unaf | raid to be curious, to imagine, to tie their enthusiasms to ideas, and to probe ideas out to their edges.
I often think about the most important scene in The Matrix. Or, the most important scene | [

Here are things you can do to protect your home from a hurricane:
-- Prepare window protection -- get shutters or cut plywood to fit, and have fasteners ready.
-- Caulk and weatherstrip windows and doors so wind does not penetrate cracks.
-- Install | bracing on garage doors, or replace an older door with a reinforced door.
-- Bolt doors with foot and head bolts with a minimum throw length of 1 inch.

More fun with mini-pitas today! This time I filled the pitas with peanut butter and kiwi fruit, an interesting alternative to jelly. Above the pitas are baby carrots and some "Savory Baked Cereal Mix" from my newest cookbook acquisition, The Vegetarian Family Cookbook by Nava Atlas. I used two types of organic square-shaped cereal mixed with pretzels and nuts.
Below the cereal mix is a "frozen banana custard". I got this idea from my friend Renee's booklet The Happy Lunchbox: mash a banana, mix it with 1 TB orange juice (I used fresh), and freeze it overnight. Put it in the lunchbox in the morning, and by noon "it will have thawed enough to taste like a rich banana custard." I'm interested to see how this turns out!
Verdict: I volunteered at school | today and sat next to shmoo while he ate. Kiwi pitas got a big "Mmmm!" and vanished quickly. He also loved the cereal mix. It's like a kinder, gentler Chex Mix -- not too salty or spicy. The banana custard was creamy and slushy and looked like applesauce. It tasted good, but shmoo gave it a thumbs down for being "too stringy". Maybe if it were blended in | [

I am convinced that Daphne the dolphin, who was also Echidna the snake woman (i.e. a snake below her leg-less torso), depicted the same as mythical Melusine who was sometimes a snake-woman but at other times given a fish tail. Melusine was portrayed as a European peoples, and because magic rings were attributed to her, Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" and the similar works are suspect as characterizing Melusine in mythic-style code.
Cracking several of Tolkien's major codes is the theme in this chapter. I think he knew more about the movements that took place in Britain than I do at present, wherefore I'm eager to break his codes. I have cracked Tolkien, in a single day, and can report to you that he was depicting Satan's Rosicrucian cult. As always with myth writers, their joy is to keep the secrets of the dragon cult while they write, but, as always, they give the secrets away by writing. Consider this:
It is not mere coincidence that the first three rings were given to the Elven-kings. They were the favorites and the first race created | by the Gods and when they looked skyward the dark canopy of the heavens was studded with stars...Themselves they called the Quendi...Tolkien writes that the Elves remain until the end of time...they will live for 10,000 centuries and then they will be called | [

Belarus expels Sweden`s ambassador
DHAKA: Belarus has expelled Sweden`s ambassador over his country`s involvement in activities seeking to promote democracy in the former Soviet republic, Sweden`s foreign minister Carl Bildt said.
Bildt said Friday`s expulsion of Stefan Eriksson followed accusations by Belarus’s president against the diplomat.
"The [Alexander] Lukashenko regime in Belarus has decided to expel our ambassador," Bildt told reporters. "They have made accusations against the ambassador. They are groundless. Fundamentally, this is about Sweden being engaged in democracy and human rights in Belarus."
Bildt said Belarus` incoming ambassador to Sweden would not be welcome and that | two more Belarussian diplomats in Sweden had been asked to leave.
He said Belarus had quoted meetings by Eriksson with the Belarussian opposition as one reason for expelling him. Another was donating books on human rights to a university library in the Belarussian capital Minsk.
"So, it`s ridiculous accusations," Bildt said.
A plane chartered by a Swedish public relations firm dropped hundreds of teddy bears over Belarus on July 4 in a pro-democracy stunt, prompting President Alexander Lukashenko to sack his air defence chief and the head of the border guards.

Deputies have released the names of the two young men who drowned in the Topsy Reservoir near Keno in Klamath County Tuesday evening, and now say they believe the pair had not been drinking, nor had one of them pushed the other into the water -- but instead drowned after jumping in to save his friend who was not a strong swimmer.
Details are still sketchy about the altercation, the drownings, and the stabbing of another young man, but Klamath County Sheriff’s deputies report that they now believe the two drowning victims, both teenagers from Klamath Falls, got into a physical fight with at least two other young men prior to the first victim entering the water.
Christopher T. Cudo, 19, went into the water first about 7 p.m. May 29, reportedly calling for help and yelling that he couldn’t swim well.
His friend, Brian R. Copeland, 18, attempted to rescue | Cudo but he also drowned. Copeland was pulled into a fisherman’s boat, and the fisherman and a witness performed CPR without success.
The dive team recovered the body of Cudo about 9 p.m.
Investigators believe that about six young men were above the river on a 20-foot ledge commonly used as a dive platform when a scuffle broke out.
Cameron R. West, 18, of Klamath Falls, was stabbed at least twice in his upper torso, and was transported by private vehicle to the Keno Fire Station, and then was taken to Sky Lakes | [

People usually don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day in Iceland, which is an imported holiday, although its popularity is growing, especially among business owners who want to make money out of it.

He buried limbs in the garden and in the shed, and stuffed torsos into suitcases until he could burn the remains in a bonfire at the end of his garden. On occasions he would burn fires all day, without raising any suspicion from neighbors. He generally crushed the bones once the fire had consumed the flesh, and police found thousands of bone fragments in the garden during later forensic examinations.
In 1982, in a desperate attempt to stifle his homicidal behavior,
Nilsen moved into a top-floor apartment at 23 Cranley Gardens, Muswell Hill, also in North London, which had no garden and no convenient floorboards. Still unable to quell his impulses, a further three victims were killed in this apartment between his arrival and February 1983. These victims were identified as John Howlett, Archibald Graham Allan and Steven Sinclair, and presented Nils | en with much greater disposal challenges, given the apartment's lack of direct access outdoor space. He overcame these obstacles by boiling the heads, feet and hands, and dissecting the bodies into small pieces that could be flushed down the toilet, and disposed of in plastic bags.

It's easy to get nostalgic about Maxwell Street. And lately there has been a tide of nostalgia for that legendary open-air market, even from people who never bought a pair of socks or bloomers there.
That's because Maxwell Street is threatened by the University of Illinois at Chicago, which wants to expand south, the only direction it can go.
This will wipe out the Maxwell Street Market, although the city says it will relocate the street merchants to a street not far away.
But boosters of Maxwell Street say relocation is not good enough. The market won't be the same. The colorful sights and smells will be gone. A slice of Chicago history will be lost.
And on a more practical level, the small street peddlers will be deprived of a place to sell their merchandise. Low-income people won't be able to find needed bargains.

Why were they low? A friend who spent his life in the clothing business, and knows Maxwell Street well, said: | [

The Expeditions : The year is 1844. Sixteen-year-old runaway Elisha Stone is in Detroit, a hardscrabble frontier town on the edge of the civilized world. A canny survivor with the instincts of a born naturalist, Elisha signs on to an expedition into Michigan's vast, uncharted Upper Peninsula. The party is led by two charismatic adventurers: Silas Brush, a ruthless land-grabbing ex-soldier, and George Tiffin, a quixotic professor desperate to discover proof of his unorthodox theories about the origins of man. On the eve of the expedition's departure, Elisha pens a heartfelt letter to his mother in Newell, Massachusetts. But it is Elisha's estranged father, the Reverend William Edward Stone, who opens the envelope. Grief-stricken by the recent death | of his wife - a death Elisha could not have known about - Reverend Stone is jolted into action: he must find his son. What follows is a powerful narrative about the complex love between fathers and sons and an evocative portrait of an era of faith | [

Based upon my understanding of our slotting budget we can give him that AND still sign Gausman for slot money.
All picks after the 10th Round have a max of 100K. Add the 120K they saved from the first ten picks and you have 220K. We can spend about 315K BEYOND our slotting allotment without losing a draft pick. It will just cost us a 75% fine of the overage, which would be less than 250K.

As the lone Democrat on the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors for several years, Josie Gonzales has often endorsed and contributed funds to her Republican colleagues, a stance that has irritated some of her party cohorts.
On Thursday, the ill will was out in the open: the San Bernardino County Democratic Central Committee voted on a resolution calling on Democrats to actively not support Gonzales in her bid for re-election as Fifth District supervisor in the June 5 election. Critics cited her backing of former Supervisors Bill Postmus and Paul Biane — both later arrested as part of the county corruption scandal — and said she had failed to help other Democrats.
Committee Chairman Ron Wall, who remained neutral, said her critics felt it was important to “make her aware of their dissatisfaction.”
The resolution, calling on party members not to help her financially or work on her campaign, failed by a one-vote margin, 13 for and 14 against.
Gonzales, who was there to defend herself and ask for the committee’s endorsement, said she made no apologies for building relationships with other officials.
“The fact is I need two other | votes to get anything done,” she said. “It’s irrelevant to me who gives them to me.”
In a separate vote, the committee voted not to endorse Gonzales either.

June 15, 2011 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, a time to raise awareness and educate public about a topic that is too often ignored.
Based on both state and federal statistics, nearly 200,000 Californians are victims of elder abuse every year. This problem threatens to grow worse as the “graying” of the Baby Boom generation results in unprecedented demographic shifts. Specifically, the U.S. Census Bureau projects that California’s elderly population, already the largest in | the nation, will nearly double in size within the next two decades.
Generally, the term elder abuse refers to any knowing, intentional, or negligent act by a caregiver or any other person that causes harm to a vulnerable adult. Broadly defined, elder abuse can take the form of:

currently, we are intensively working on a feature-complete CMIS connector for our DAM server.
Adobe Drive seems to be a promising user-friendly client connector for our customers, so it is a primary target client for us.
But, Adobe Drive (even version 3) seems to have some serious restrictions, which are not well-documented, e.g.:
- Versioning is required (the technote reveals this, but lacks details) - am I right in assuming that AD will not (never) support a workflow based on auto-versioning (where the repository itself cares about creating new versions on changes)? Currently it seems to fully rely on a checkout+checkin scheme, based on the mediocre CMIS "private working copy" concept | , which will produce very frustrating user experiences in the long run... (think about stale locked files, users troublings admins to unlock,...)
- AD uses the cmis:name property for path segments - will AD 3.x or 4.0 fix this issue?

Abstract: A statistical zero knowledge argument for NP is a cryptographic primitive that allows a polynomial-time prover to convince another
polynomial-time verifier of the validity of an NP statement. It is guaranteed that even an infinitely powerful verifier does not learn any
additional information but the validity of the claim.

Rotting Royal Pier "an embarrassment to Southampton"
THERE are renewed calls today for what’s left of Southampton’s Royal Pier to be demolished after part of it crashed into the sea yesterday.
The rotting wreck, which will be seen by one million cruise passengers visiting the city this year, was last night branded an “embarrassment”.
Pressure was today heaped on Southampton City Council and the pier’s owners, ABP, to pull down the derelict structure after 30 metres collapsed without warning.
Even the city’s heritage champions say it is beyond repair and have called time on the pier, which is now missing a large middle section.
But ABP, the port bosses, have refused to commit the estimated £3m needed to clear the 177-year-old former landmark.
They say it will only disappear when | a developer signs up to transform the entire site into a luxury development.
Stunned onlookers watched the drama unfold shortly before 10am as they enjoyed the views from Mayflower Park.

Evangeline Lilly's Got Baby Fever
Evangeline Lilly has been busy playing an elf while filming the latest installment of The Hobbit, but the new mom says she'd rather be getting busy making babies!
Evangeline Lilly's baby boy is only a few months old but already the actress wishes to be pregnant again. If only The Hobbit filming wasn't underway!
"My son is wonderful. He is amazing!" the 32-year-old actress gushed to US Weekly about her 4-month-old son, whose name has yet to be revealed. "Motherhood is a joy! I have dreamed about being a mother since I was 12 years old and there's nothing disappointing about it."
Sharing that her experience has been "more incredible than you can imagine" Evangeline Lilly continues, "I think everything I say about motherhood sounds so cliche, but it's true."
On the subject of another baby she says enthusiastically, "If I wasn't working right now, I'd probably be pregnant again!"
In recent months the commute to work for Evangeline Lilly has been an astounding 4,600 miles of flight from her home in Hawaii to The Hobbit set in New | Zealand. The commitment of taking on a role with such time consuming filming demands turned out to be a blessing for the actress.

(This translation of the Psalms has not been proof read. Compare with Bible Treasury Vols. 8, 9 & 18, 19 if text is unclear or apparently wrong.)
No apology is offered for the close rendering of the Hebrew, often no doubt uncouth to western ears. The aim of a version for public use is wholly different. But the more literal reflection is also full of interest and instruction to those who would weigh the form as well as the substance of the inspired word, whether Old or New; and this is what has been essayed here, however inadequately. This I say for myself in particular, for time failed me with many calls on it to do more than supply what one [Mr Kelly's wife] ever dear to me began, but was compelled by sickness to give up just beyond the first fifty psalms. These first sheets lay for many years in the printer's hands, which it was a little labour of love to complete, with brief notes also on the distinctive aim of each of the hundred and fifty as I understand it. The critical eye may discern slight differences of rendering as to the words translated nation, peoples | , and Gentiles. For I felt bound on the one hand not to alter a letter of hers, on the other to be faithful in my part to give, what I believe the precise sense. Also this memorial is given anonymously as all to whom it is of interest will understand that one or other name would not be quite true; and to put both savours to me too much of sentiment, which I dislike publishing especially | [

Slick Saders crush Canes
21 Apr 2012
RYAN VREDE reports on the Crusaders’ emphatic 42-14 victory over the Hurricanes in Wellington.
Ominously for their future opponents, the Crusaders are starting to show glimpses of their best form. They comfortably and clinically negotiated the Stormers last week, and, faced with a vastly inferior opponent in the Canes, they were brutal in their demolition.
The Canes had no rebuttal to the Saders’ physicality, upon which this victory was built. The visitors bossed the gainline and in so doing controlled the flow and tempo of the match. How they used the ball thereafter was an education in itself. Their tactical awareness, decision-making and execution of the chosen action was rarely anything but precise.
Notably the Saders’ key players are settling into their groove. Kieran Read has become increasingly prominent in recent weeks and was excellent this evening. He is getting back to the form that made him one of the world’s best players in 2011.

Andrew Wiles flashes a huge grin after publicly showing off his proof for the first time in 1993.
| A shy and secretive Princeton University mathematics professor in 1993 unraveled a mystery that had frustrated and intrigued mathematicians for 350 years.
Andrew Wiles, fascinated by math problems since age 10, figured out the last theorem of 17th century mathematician Pierre De Fermat, achieving what the most obsessed numbers crunchers of three centuries could not.
The Scottish-born Wiles, in a rare interview, said the draw to solve the theorem, which stemmed from Fermat's studies of the ancient Greek text "Arithmetic," was so strong because the theorem was so simple-sounding.
It says that while the square of a whole number can be broken into two other squares of whole numbers, the same cannot be done with cubes or higher powers.
The theorem is based on the ancient equation developed by sixth century mathematician Pythagoreas, "X squared plus | Y squared equals Z squared." The equation guided Pythagoreas' famous theory for calculating the hypotenuse of a triangle.
Although Fermat himself claimed to have already proved the theorem, his notes were lost, and mathematicians, none of whom were able to solve it until Wiles, had often doubted the existence of a formal proof.

Losing weight is the second hardest thing I ask my patients to do. (Quitting smoking is the hardest.) Typically, physicians have generally recommended a low-fat diet which is still the diet recommended by national guidelines. Despite this, several different kinds of diets have become popular recently with varying amounts of carbohydrates, most notably the Atkins diet which is very low in carbohydrates and very high in fat.
This week’s Journal of the American Medical Association contains the first study comparing several such diets. The study enrolled overweight women who had not yet gone through menopause and randomized them to four diets. In order of carbohydrate intake the diets were the Atkins diet (very low in carbohydrates), the Zone diet (low in carbohydrates), a diet based on national guidelines (low in fat and high in carbohydrates), and the Ornish diet ( | very high in carbohydrates). The women’s weights were followed for 12 months.
Women on the Atkins diet lost the most weight, 10.4 lbs on average. The other three groups had approximately the same weight loss (the differences were not statistically significant) of on average 4.7 lbs. Interestingly the number of calories consumed by the four groups was not statistically different. The Atkins diet, | [

The Troy Police Department is hosting a press conference at 2:30 p.m. today, reportedly to announcing the finding of the missing man’s body.
According to a story in Freep.com, the body of Patrick Mikes Sr, 55, has been found, as has his missing bicycle.
Already, Mr. Mikes son, Patrick Mikes Jr., has been charged with open murder, as police have long suspected foul play.
Numerous officers from Troy have | been searching in Montrose, near Flint, after being told that a suspicious car had been driving back and forth recently.
The amount of blood and other evidence led police to believe that Mr. Mikes had been killed inside the basement of his home. DNA tests confirmed that the blood belonged to Mr. Mikes and to his son.

The wild artistic license of movies like Gasland notwithstanding, the common feeling in the media and, therefore, among the public, is that fracking is causing significant environmental damage (Energy Justice). However, it seems that fracking may be getting a bum rap, at least from the standpoint of toxic emissions.
At the end | of January, RAND published a paper in Environmental Research Letters (ERL) assigning monetary damages to environmental health caused by emissions from shale gas extraction in Pennsylvania during fracking operations. The RAND study estimated these damages to range between $7.2 and $32 million dollars in 2011.
They compared this to the $75 million in estimated annual damages produced by the state’s single largest coal-fired power plant in 2008 conceding that the former | [

I know, I know – I say I’m not a fan of lemon and then go and post tons of lemon recipes. What can I say, maybe I’m changing my mind! Last week some great friends of ours came over for dinner. I always love the opportunity to entertain at home because it gives me a chance to make a special dessert I wouldn’t normally make for just the two of us. This is a perfect example of that. These were definitely time-consuming because of the various steps involved, but the end result was so gratifying. They looked absolutely gorgeous and tasted great too – even I thought so! Our guests raved about them, so they were well worth the effort.
I love the look of small cakes and personalized desserts, but this recipe could certainly be adapted to fit one larger pan (maybe an 8-inch springform.) I used ramekins carefully lined with parchment paper for mine. The lining process definitely took some time, but it paid off in the end when these came out of the dishes beautifully without a single problem. While I was cooking the base for the mousse, I was convinced that I was going to hate the taste of these, because it smelled so strongly of lemon curd ( | which I do NOT like). However, I was reassured when I took them out of the refrigerator and the smell was replaced by a sweet, light lemon scent. The mousse itself is not overly sweet, and I would consider adding a tiny bit more sugar next time, but these were great and were rapidly devoured after dinner.

Today, however, the situation is much different, as the stock has run-up substantially and now trades above book value.
I found that really interesting: Conn’s stock has been on a complete tear over the past year, while almost every other consumer electronics stock in the world has been cut in half twice over.
And then I saw this post saying the author was short Conn’s. And I found the thesis incredibly interesting.
Basically, Conn’s consists of two pieces: the actual retail business, and the finance business. The retail business is divided (very roughly) 40/40/20 between consumer electronics, consumer appliances, and furniture/mattresses. The finance business provides financing to Conn’s customers.
Let’s start with the retail business. The appliance and furniture pieces are decent businesses that aren’t extremely vulnerable to the Amazon threat (yet) simply because the items are so large and heavy that they need delivery and installation. But just because they aren’t vulnerable to amazon doesn’t mean they’re great businesses: Conn’s has no competitive advantages over Home Depot, | Sears, or any of the dozens of other chains, both local and national, that sell those items.
However, the consumer electronics business is absolutely horrible right now. Not only do they face fierce competition from Wal-Mart and Best Buy, but Amazon is turning them into a | [

Foreign B-school students wishing to study or work in the U.S. encounter a host of terms, beyond the first visa
For foreign MBAs, the process of entering the U.S. (BusinessWeek.com, 5/14/07)—and staying stateside to study and then work—can be a complicated one.

WASHINGTON - There are as many unique and personal stories as there are people jamming the National Mall for the inauguration of President Obama.
Lawton Wilkerson, 86, was among the hundreds of thousands of excited onlookers gathered along the lawns that lead to the U.S. Capitol. Wilkerson, 86, a member of the Tuskegee Airmen, the first black military aviators in U.S. history, is attending his first inauguration.
"It's a very historic event on a very historic day," Wilkerson says. "We celebrate Dr. (Martin Luther) King's birthday at the same time the second term of a black president."
Wilkerson said he was hopeful Obama's second term would be a productive one, now that he no longer faces re-election. "He has done many things despite the opposition in Congress, and this time he doesn't have to... play politics anymore."
The inauguration is providing a special moment for the Hall family of Baxley, Ga.
Cassandra Carter, 29, says her father, Es | co Hall Jr., lived through segregation in Georgia and was one of the first blacks to be admitted to the University of Georgia's veterinary school. Today her 64-year-old father is a Baxley councilman.
Cassandra Carter says the president's re-election shows how far the nation has come from the days when her father was in school. Her niece Alexis Smith, 13, says it gives her hope.
"Most people think black people can't do anything, so him being in the White House proves them wrong," she says.

I have heard some weird and outrageous cruise ship stories over the years, but if this one is true it takes the cake.
A lawsuit filed last month alleges that Carnival cruise employees suspected that a 17 year old girl on the Carnival Sensation possessed marijuana after she returned to the cruise ship after going ashore in Nassau. The lawsuit alleges that the girl had returned with her mother and a friend when a Carnival security officer found a bag of pot on the floor of the elevator that the group was riding on.
Accompanied by a female crew member and a male assistant housekeeping manager, the security officer entered the cabin of the girl and her friend, also a minor. The security officer allegedly made no effort to locate the child's mother or advise the children of their rights, and then threatened and intimidated the girl into a confession that the weed in the bag was hers.
The three crew members then searched the girls' cabin, and found no contraband or illegal substances. Undaunted, the three crew members alleged "threatened, coerced, and required J.G. to remove her panties, lift her dress to her waist and expose her nakedness to all agents in | the cabin." Then things got especially weird. The lawsuit alleges:
- 41. J.G. was forcefully escorted to the restroom wherein all Defendant Agents were permitted to watch her urinate before returning her to the main area of the cabin.
- 42. Without cause, the DEFENDANT AGENTS threatened, coerced and required J.G. to remove a tampon and her genital cavity was inspected visually by the female currently known only as LETICIA.

Botox could offer more than just wrinkle relief, if new trials pan out using Botox gel as a relief for hay fever. A new study will determine if Botox could relieve hay fever symptoms for up to three months.
Professor Philip Bardin from the Monash Medical Center, linked to Melbourne's Monash University, revealed that Botox has showed promise in providing relief in hay fever symptoms. The Telegraph reported Bardin said: "This is very new way to use an old medication."

That's really the crucial development that has taken place.

Ok, so it’s not really ‘homemade’ if you just add water. But it is economical and good for you!
A while back I bought Dr Bronners Baby Mild Soap at Target to use in my homemade disinfecting wipes. A friend of mine mentioned to me that she thought that the sulfates and parabens in her hand soap (and mine too!) were causing a rash on her hands. So, I set out to see what I could find on the internet about healthy hand soaps. Isn’t the internet amazing!? Sometimes I hate it because it can suck up all your time but it is a wonderful wealth of resources as well!
As I was reading about the different methods and products others use I thought, “Dr. Bronners!” I first mixed some with water in a normal soap dispenser but it was watery and while I didn’t mind, it did make a mess. So, I thought some more and then read somewhere about using a foaming soap dispenser for homemade soaps.
I went out and bought the cheap Wal*Mart foaming soap | ($1.97) and dumped it down the drain (I know, wasteful!) I then replaced it with an ounce of Dr. Bronners (which is concentrated) and filled the rest up with water (totals 8 oz). It worked perfectly! The only downside that I have read about is that sometimes the oils in the soap will clog up the pump. I’m thinking that running hot water through the pump every once in a while may help with this!
I am soo pleased with this method. Here is the breakdown in pricing:
