This June The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart will play two shows in the Netherlands:
07 jun 2009: Ekko, Utrecht
08 jun 2009: Paradiso, Amsterdam
I won't be there, since I'll be in New York waiting for my girlfriend to give birth. Which should be good as well of course. But I can't help but be a bit disappointed, and jealous of you, the lucky ones who will make it.
Don't miss this!

Hee, I'm jealous too! Still haven't seen them; they always seem to skip the South West when they play here. Some of my more hip Dutch friends were discussing them on Facebook the other day. Not until then did I realise people cared about them in the Netherlands.

I saw the band play in Toronto. It was their first sold out show. It was amazing! They're coming back again next month and I'll be seeing them again :)

The places where we live during fieldwork can be so strange. Even in the best of circumstances.
My first summer in France I had a sublet for eight weeks. It wasn't a place that made a lasting impression on me, but I just came across a list of rules and guidelines that I sent to an American grad student who needed a place to stay for a week.
I wasn't in town at the time, so I sent him a comically long list of instructions. I guess I was trying to put down everything I knew in writing. It turns out to be a good reminder of all the details of everyday life.
The first problem was getting my friend the key.
OK, so it turns out that Duff [our mutual friend] is in Paris for a couple weeks, visiting his parents, and I think I'm going to leave my key with him. It should be a little easier for you to pick it up that way, even if you show up at some odd hour or whatever.
Then I gave a long list of considerations.
Here's a list of practical stuff to know about the apartment:
Getting here
- Roommates' names: Christophe (cell: 06 xx xx xx xx), Siegfried (cell: 06 xx xx xx xx), Ann (from Luxembourg). Not sure of their schedules — Christophe at least is coming home sometime next Tues or Weds. I don't know how their English is but they probably speak at least a little!
- Address: 1xx Blvd de Magenta. Nearest metro stop: Barbès-Rochechouart. (From the metro, go straight south on Blvd de Magenta and it's on yr left in like 30m.)
- To enter the apartment: you enter a code to open the outside door (which is large and wooden — it is also the egress for a garage). The code: B5048. The lock will click open (this is standard procedure for Paris, i don't know if you're familiar). Once inside, you take a right into the stairwell, hit the light switch if it's off, climb two flights of musky-smelling stairs to the second floor (in America it would be called the third floor, but in France the ground floor is called 0, as you probably also know). You'll see two apartments. Ours is the one directly across from the elevator, and you'll recognize it by the "rêve général" sticker on it.
- The latch on our front door takes a wee bit of getting used to. The key only goes in one way up (it will not enter the lock if it's upside down). Then, counterintuitively, you must you be pushing the key in while you turn it. Sometimes you have to pull the door towards you with the handle, also. Don't worry, this will all makes sense when you try it, I think.
It's like I was trying to provide just enough information about French culture and urban geography to help someone navigate the environment.
Once inside the apartment
- In case you get here and there is no one to show you around… my room is the one at the far end of the hall, across from the kitchen and next to the bathroom! I'll leave some bedding. Try not to be too loud on the floor late at night — apparently it creaks like mad in the apartment below ours.
- Kitchen is all yours — my allotted shelf in the fridge was second from the top and my cupboard was the top one in the left-hand cabinet, in case you wanted to store food. Stove and dishes are pretty straightforward, and people share the usual spices, oil, a few dry goods like flour, etc. Basically if it's near the stove or sink it's cool to use.
- There's an ethernet cable for internet on the desk. Not sure about wifi.
- Small supermarket ('monop') is just outside the house, two doors down. Open late if you're hungry. Bad selection but quick. Also if you want takeout, I happen to be partial to sandwich grec (ie, gyros), and you can find a million Turkish restaurants just north-west of the house on Rue de Clignancourt. Finally, if you go down near the gare du nord, a bunch of shops and restaurants are open at all hours, even sunday when most stuff is closed.
- To EXIT the apartment: if someone else has locked the door, you have to unlock it from the inside with the key. (This confused me the first day i lived here.) Then to latch the door, you have to open the latch with your key while you shut it. (It's apparently really bad for the lock to shut the door without holding the latch open.) Obviously, you should also lock up if no one else is home!
- Washing machine by the sink. Drying racks in bathroom and living room. Detergent in my room if you need it!
- You should shut the bedroom window if you go out — it can rain and even if it doesn't, the kitchen window is often open, which creates powerful cross-currents that will probably slam the doors in between.
- The shared agreement of the apartment is that if something runs out (toilet paper, whatever) you should take your turn replacing it. Don't sweat this too much, you won't be there long.
- It's good to take out the trash though if you think of it… trash can's in to the courtyard (through the double inner doors across from the outer door of the building).
- In case of some type of emergency… the water shutoff is in the kitchen by the sink; hot water heater above the sink; electricity cutoff in the back closet of Christophe's bedroom, which is across from the living room.
You can see a whole domestic order starting to take place, with rules for sharing, rules for using appliances, rules for how to make noise, rules for how to shut the windows… None of these were like legal strictures. They were just shared understandings.
Incidentally, here's what my subleased room looked like. Most of the stuff wasn't mine.
This was the kitchen.
I ended my instructions with a little bit of tourist information.
The bedroom's balcony is awesome for watching the street, with a good view of Sacré Coeur at night. I recommend the view from the top of Sacré Coeur if you haven't been up there, in spite of the throngs of tourists. Other places I highly recommend in Paris: Parc de Belleville also has a stupendous view of town and no tourists; Parc de St-Cloud, near the end of metro 9 and 10 and technically outside the city limits, is beautiful and quiet and you can walk for hours in the woods. And basically everywhere without tourists is a much more interesting place to walk around on the street (19th and 20th arrondissements are good for that). Across the street from our house is the beginning of the Rue de Faubourg Poisonnière, which is a good little street to walk south on.
If you read all this, you get the idea that it wasn't a bad place to live.
But when I remember living in this place, what I remember is mostly the extreme solitude of early fieldwork. I liked my roommates, especially Christophe, but they were never home. It was summer, so my research sites in French universities were closed down, and I didn't have much to do. I remember staying up until the middle of the night and cooking greasy food by myself. I obviously liked going for walks, which evoked this whole tradition of exploring Paris by foot. But then, there are so many racial, class, and gender politics on the Paris streets. To explore Paris without being hassled by the police for your skin color is already a form of white privilege, I would have to say.

A recent post from the always insightful Christian of Destination Unknown (linky in the side bar)caused me to wake up and smell the reality:
My gaming time is a finite resource.
I don't know why this never occurred to me. I'm 29, so statistically I'm supposed to live for another 40 or 50 years. (Family health seems to support this number) However, there are a few things to consider...
Many of my friends are marrying and having children. I'm married myself, but to a gamer who understands the importance of my hobby to me, and we're committed to a child-free existence. I do expect that the number of available gamers in my immediate association is going to begin falling off in the next few years. Many of my friends are finished with college and have real career-type jobs that often place heavy demands on their free time. (I know my job has done a number on my free time, and always will for the months of August-May.) Many of my gamer friends have "lapsed," or rather their interests have taken them elsewhere. Will I be able to continue gaming my whole life? I don't know... there may come some dark age where everyone else I know has moved on to other things. Grim.
My shelf is filled with games. I know I have between 50-60 different roleplaying games, depending on how you slice it. (Do you consider pre- and post-WotC D&D to be different games like I do? Are old D&D and AD&D different games? Do all the different World of Darkness games count as different games, etc.)
The thing is, I think it might be time to stop collecting and start running. If I ran every game I own for six months with no breaks in between campaigns (ha!), I'm looking at 25-30 years of gaming. Add in the usual six months or so between campaigns and that leaves me with no time to really run everything I own.
I think I have actually decided on Traveller next. I still want to do Mutant Future, but I want to diversify... I've never really run Traveller except for a very brief MegaTraveller game in middle school that I'm pretty sure I was doing wrong. I've also never run a sci-fi campaign before.
For the time being, Mutant Future might do nicely for a "backup game", should Deadlands be canceled on a random Sunday.
Time to get in the boat and start rowin'.

I bought many toys for my computers over the years and I don't include the computers (9) and laptops (3).
I made a list of my favorite ones.
1- ADVC 100 by Canopus
I bought it to digitize my VHS movies to DVD.
The version I have was purchased on the Internet and it has a button to disable the Macrovison (crap used to prevent making copies). I even used to record movies or shows from Hulu by connecting my two computers and recording on the 2nd one.
That was a great device. I still have the original box and accessories.
2- Fusion HDTV 3 QAM gold from Dvico
I used it to capture HD videos from cable over the air.
I had a great time with this toy!
3- ION Turntable
I bought it to digitize my vinyls via USB on my computer.
It comes with a free editing software to help remove scratches, pops, clicks and background noise.
4 - HD PVR by Hauppauge
Even better than my ADVC 100! It can record HDTV straight to my computer and the quality is amazing! My favorite toy so far!
5 - WD Live TV Hub
I can watch TV online, play games, watch my own videos, play my music, look at pictures, etc.
Here's my next gadget I want to buy!
Okay that's it! What's your favorite computer toy?
- 128 Replies
Get the Hauppauge HD-PVR for about $300 instead. It is compatible with PC and Mac BTW.
It is supposed to be for Pickpocket who is lacking in money. So if he buys that, he would have $100 left. He might be able to get a nice case...but nothing inside it.
Kindle fire..
The hauppauge is what I want. It the mother of game capture. I'm also considering Elgato. That comes second and I will buy that with my money.
I have disscussed this with my parents and they will pay for the laptop. Once again, as a gift. I feel that 400 is a round number. 600 would be pushing it.
And ace, it's not for flash games. It's for cod. The software they allow you to use only uploads 30 second clips to YouTube. If you get a capture card, you can record as much as you want and edit things better.
Kindle fire..
Why Kindle? Why not some other E-Reader? What do you like about it?
Why not a multi-functional tablet with E-Reading capabilities?
Before you buy it, try Fraps. It tends to work? Or is Fraps the thing that is making you record only 30 seconds?
Why not a multi-functional tablet with E-Reading capabilities?
I got the best deal. I bought an Itomic E-Reader for 1/10 of the Kindle Fire price. I've already read 3 books and I'm happy with it.
No problems so far.
Oops, forgot to post the link.
Itomic E-Reader
Where are you materialistic people?
Tobii Eye-Tracking
The Powerbag
Water Charger
The OCZ Z Drive R5
Some of them aren't exactly computer gadgets, but useful things relating to technology.
Elgato is better as most stuff now had hdmi and its just one wire rather then a component cable which is like 5 mashed together.
@pickpocket you can get windows expression encoder trial for free its like fraps but you can change what it records and you can do up to 10 minute sections with the trial.
@pickpocket you can get windows expression encoder trial for free its like fraps but you can change what it records and you can do up to 10 minute sections with the trial.
How long does the free trial last for?
How long does the free trial last for?
Forever I think I've had it for ages
@pickpocket, did you finally buy the Hauppauge HD-PVR?
I love mine so much that my GF is jealous, I think. xD
How long does the free trial last for?
Pickpocket have you even looked into Hypercam, or Camstasia? They can record as long as you want. Hypercam being free, but Camstasia has a free trial of 30 days or more I believe.
It looks like someone already copied the Raspberry Pi.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has recommended that all 50 state ban the use of all electronic devices, including cell phones, by anyone operating a motor vehicle. The battle over cell phone use by drivers has been going on for years and some states have had "hands-free" bans in place for quite some time, but this would be the first to run through all 50 states. From the NTSB:
The safety recommendation specifically calls for the 50 states and the District of Columbia to ban the nonemergency use of portable electronic devices (other than those designed to support the driving task) for all drivers. The safety recommendation also urges use of the NHTSA model of high-visibility enforcement to support these bans and implementation of targeted communication campaigns to inform motorists of the new law and heightened enforcement.
Using a cell phone while driving can certainly be distracting and has been the cause of more than a few accidents, but will a ban like this really make a difference? Pick your stance in the poll above, then drop a comment below with your thoughts!

The University of North Carolina Health Care System will license IBM's technology to create a Web-based system of unified medical records for patient information, Big Blue said Thursday. The system, called "WebClinical Information Systems" (WebCIS), will essentially replace the paper chart for roughly 7,000 caregivers in the UNC facility. They will have access to medical data on a million patients over a secure Web site, according to the software company.
UNC Healthcare will use IBM's so-called Health Information Framework, which draws on open standards in the health care industry. That boils down to the makings of a system combining records from a doctor's office and pharmacy, plus lab reports and so on. A hospital emergency room, for example, would be able to see complete information on an admitted patient, including his or her medications, allergies, previous X-rays and text-based reports of prior treatments, within a matter of seconds, according to IBM.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Originally published in The Philippine Star (Point of Law column)
Batas Pambansa Blg. 22, otherwise known as the Bouncing Checks Law (BP 22), is the law that punishes the making or the drawing of a check to apply on account or for value when the maker or drawer knew at the time of issue that the account against which the check was drawn had no sufficient funds in, or enough credit with, the drawee bank for the payment of such check or when the maker or drawer of the check issues a stop payment order on such a check without any valid reason. In both cases, the check is dishonored by reason of insufficient funds. It is also a violation of BP 22 when the maker or drawer of such a check fails to maintain sufficient funds in, or enough credit with, the drawee bank to cover the full amount of the check for a period of ninety (90) days from the date appearing on the check and the check is dishonored for such reason. The penalty for violation of BP 22 is imprisonment for 30 days to one year or a fine, or both (Section 1, BP 22).
BP 22 was enacted to discourage the issuance of bouncing checks, to prevent checks from becoming "useless scraps of paper," and to restore respectability to checks. The law was enacted at a time when the stability and commercial value of checks, which are recognized as being virtual substitutes for currency, were being threatened by the rampant issuance of checks that were subsequently dishonored by drawee banks. Because BP 22 imposes imprisonment among its penalties, it is now a common practice for creditors to require their debtors to issue post-dated checks to cover amortizations of their loan. Accordingly, BP 22, to a certain degree, has achieved the purpose for which it was enacted.
In the past years, however, there have been two important developments regarding BP 22. The first is the shift in policy as announced by the Supreme Court in its Administrative Circular Nos. 12-2000 and 13-01 towards the imposition of a fine only, and not imprisonment, for violations of BP 22. The second are decisions of the courts holding that the prosecution in BP 22 must establish that a written notice of dishonor was actually received by the maker or drawer of the dishonored check.
The Supreme Court in its Administrative Circular No. 12-2000 declared that, in imposing the penalty for violations of BP 22, courts should follow the policy of "redeeming valuable human material and preventing unnecessary deprivation of personal liberty and economic usefulness with due regard to the protection of the social order." In that regard, in lieu of imprisonment, a fine in an amount equal to double the amount of the check involved has been deemed an appropriate penalty for a violation of BP 22. Subsequently, through Administrative Circular No. 13-01, the Supreme Court clarified that it did not intend to remove the penalty of imprisonment but that courts should reserve imposing imprisonment as a penalty for serious cases when the violation of BP 22 was committed in such a way as would negatively affect the social order.
With regard to the second development, failure to establish that a written notice of dishonor was actually received by the maker or drawer of the check is a ground for an acquittal (Rico v. People of the Philippines, G.R. No. 137191, 18 November 2002). This second development is a very real problem faced by lawyers, either as private or public prosecutors, in BP 22 cases. Oftentimes, the only, if not strongest, defense raised by an accused in a BP 22 case is that he/ she never received any notice of dishonor. Numerous BP 22 cases have been dismissed and/ or have resulted in the acquittal of the accused on the ground that the prosecution failed to establish that the accused had actually received a notice of dishonor. In order to appreciate the impact of this development, we must realize how difficult it really is to prove actual receipt of the notice of dishonor.
First, the prosecution in a BP 22 case must establish that (a) notice of dishonor was sent to the issuer of the dishonored check and (b) that the same was actually received (Yu Oh v. Court of Appeals, et al. G.R. No. 125297, 6 June 2003). A notice of dishonor may be sent to the maker or drawer of the dishonored check by (1) by personal service upon the issuer or (2) by registered mail. If the notice of dishonor is sent by registered mail, the fact of sending the notice of dishonor is established by the registry receipt, the registry return card, and an affidavit executed by the person who mailed the notice of dishonor detailing the circumstances of the mailing (Victor Ting "Teng See", et al. v. Court of Appeals, et al., G.R. No. 140665, 13 November 2000).
As to establishing actual receipt, the prosecution must also prove that the signature appearing on the registry return card or notice of dishonor, in case of personal service, belongs to that of the issuer of the dishonored check or, at the very least, to his duly authorized agent. In the latter case, the prosecution must establish the capacity and authority of such person as agent. An illegible signature, such as when a recipient merely signs his/ her initials on the registry return card or notice of dishonor, as the case may be, does not prove that the issuer actually received the notice of dishonor (Victor Ting "Teng See", et al. v. Court of Appeals, et al., G.R. No. 140665, 13 November 2000). It is also crucial that the registry return card or the notice of dishonor indicate the date it was received in order to fix the start of the five (5) day period within which the maker or drawer of the check must pay or make arrangements for the payment of the amount of the check (Section 1, BP 22)(Danao v. Court of Appeals, G.R. No. 122353, 6 June 2001).
The notice of dishonor may be sent to the office of the maker or drawer of the dishonored check but he must receive the notice personally or through his authorized agent. A corporation or an officer of a corporation that receives a notice of dishonor addressed to one of its employees has no obligation to forward the notice to the employee concerned. Thus, such receipt is not the receipt contemplated by BP 22 (Lao v. Court of Appeals, G.R. No. 119178, 20 June 1997). A notice of dishonor may also be sent to the residence of the maker or drawer of the dishonored check and received by him/her, the housemaids or houseboys who are deemed to have a special power-of-attorney to receive mail in behalf of the addressee, or any member of the family of sufficient age or discretion (Petilla v. Court of Appeals, G.R. No. 150792, 3 March 2004). Notably, the notice of dishonor may be sent to, and received by, the maker or drawer of the dishonored check wherever he may be found as long as the fact and date of receipt are established.
Based on the foregoing, it is easy to see how, as a practical matter, it is very difficult to establish actual receipt of the notice of dishonor. Save for physically forcing the issuer of the check to receive the notice of dishonor, obtaining proof of personal receipt may prove to be a daunting task, if not an outright impracticable one. Needless to say, most intended recipients of the notice of dishonor may even refuse to receive the notice. With respect to receipt of the notice of dishonor by a supposed authorized agent, it is the usual defense to deny knowing the alleged agent. On the other hand, in the event that it was the househelp who received the notice of dishonor, the maker or drawer may conceivably even resort to sending the househelp home to the province or to another employer, then deny that the said househelp was ever in his/ her employ. There are, for the most part, no employment records for househelp. Finally, it may not be realistic to expect that the registry return card for the notice of dishonor could clearly state the name and signature of the recipient, since, in practice, the postman will accept a simple initial from the recipient, which in no way gives any clue as to the identity of the said recipient. In any event, the postman is not to blame since he/ she cannot compel anybody to sign the registry return card against their will. The question now is, how do you prove that the maker or drawer of the dishonored check actually received the notice of dishonor under any of the above hypothetical circumstances?

The campaign to eradicate Daesh from the northern Iraqi city has left towns and villages flattened and deserted and hundreds of thousands of people displaced.
The operation to retake the northern Iraqi city of Mosul from Daesh has seen a sharp rise in civilian deaths and forced around half a million people to flee their homes, since the start of the US-led campaign six months ago.
Iraqi forces began the country's biggest military operation in years on October 17 last year and recaptured the eastern side of the city in January.
An assault launched the following month on the part of Mosul that lies west of the Tigris river has seen a sharp rise in displacement.
"The sheer volume of civilians still fleeing Mosul city is staggering," the UN's humanitarian coordinator in Iraq, Lise Grande, said in a statement.
Towns have been torn up as Peshmerga and Iraqi forces attempt to drive the terror group out of the city.

Name: Lily May Caldwell Papers
Dates: 1910-1983
Extent: 2.5 cubic feet
Historical Note: Lily May Caldwell was born in Houston, Texas, in 1898 and grew up in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, where as a child she wanted to work for a newspaper. She began work for the Birmingham News-Age Herald in 1921. Her duties included the classified advertising section and the Miss Alabama Pageant, then sponsored by the newspaper. Working within the state, Caldwell raised a tremendous amount of scholarship money for the Miss Alabama Pageant. Caldwell's efforts produced a number of successful Miss Alabama contestants including Yolande Betzbe who became Alabama's first Miss America in 1951. In the 1950s and 1960s, Caldwell was promoted to the newspaper's arts and entertainment section within a few years. When performers visited Birmingham, Caldwell interviewed the individual and wrote stories for the newspaper. She gained a wide acquaintance with individuals in the performing arts and especially maintained contact with Alabamians who had achieved stardom. Through the years, Caldwell's dedication led to numerous promotions and at the time of her retirement in 1966, she was editor of the entertainment section of the Birmingham News. Caldwell traveled considerably in her role as entertainment and amusements editor. She went to Europe to cover the filming of motion pictures, to New York to review plays and concerts, and to Hollywood to interview performers and visit old friends.
Working for the newspaper also allowed Caldwell to pursue her interest in politics, she became especially interested in the career of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and maintained a correspondence with Roosevelt's secretaries. Caldwell never married and spent her retirement years maintaining contact with the many people with whom she had developed friendships through her newspaper work. Lily May Caldwell died in Birmingham on June 15, 1980, she was 82 years old.

It's the weekend.
Most of the time this phrase is accompanied by feelings of relief or excitement or anticipation. But here, the weekend is dreaded. The weekend means nothing is being done to get us home. Nobody working on our case. Everything just stops and we just have to exist.
The morning started off really early for Shane and Allen. Allen is definitely not sleeping enough here, but there's nothing we can do about it. Breakfast then played toys, read books, watched cartoons all morning. Basically anything to keep the kids entertained. We went outside for about 45 minutes this morning. It was overcast and so cool- definitely the most comfortable day since we've been here! Ruth still won't detach from me outside, so we basically just walked up and down the driveway as Allen and daddy had races. It started raining right after Allen said he was ready to go inside- good timing! Ruth sure is going to be in for a surprise when we get home and it's 20 degrees!
Pancakes for lunch (we can't muster the energy to make them in the morning!) but Ruth doesn't particularly like them. Allen has been asking for them for a while so I caved. Shane and I always have a game of Words with Friends going between us. If anyone else wants to join us and help keep our sanity, our usernames are Beppy89 and HaffnHaff!
Toddler moment to share with you: Ruth really likes her headphones. For whatever reason, they just quit working earlier this week. We have no idea why. She and Allen wanted to play on their iPads after their very puny nap, and she got mad because her headphones wouldn't work- so she's pouting and sitting on the couch with her headphones on! I tried explaining that she could play with the iPad without headphones to hear the sounds and demonstrated, and she understands, but still pout-worthy in her opinion. She pulled out of it eventually, but it took a while! Toddlers are toddlers!
I am just constantly praying that Monday things start to really move forward with the processing of all the documents we need. I don't even want to think about an entire week of nothing happening. I am always either praying for things to move quickly, thinking of ways I can help move the process forward (none exist, but I can't help but think about it), or daydreaming about the day we get to fly home. I can absolutely guarantee there will be nobody happier to be on an 11 hr flight than us- I cannot wait for that day.
It's hard not to get depressed when we don't have any idea of when we'll be flying home. Taking it day by day is necessary, but even then your mind will go to "but when will it end?" And to make things sting a little more, tomorrow was the day Shane and Allen were supposed to fly home. He has been such a solid rock for me in this process, I am so grateful he is willingly staying longer than planned, but (of course) he wants to go home. We all want to go home. And we will be running out of Allen's malaria meds soon (as well as Shane's) so we're still not sure how much longer they will stay. But for now I'm grateful for his presence. Grateful beyond words.
Ruth's breathing at night is still pretty good. We have doctor visits on Tuesday and Friday or Saturday this week and I'm hoping she's pneumonia free and that we can just continue using the steroids a little longer. So that's definitely a prayer request.
I don't believe we're going to church tomorrow. It's quite the hassle to get the kids out and keep them semi-well-behaved during a long church service, especially now that they're getting tired of all the toys we brought. We plan on going again, though. Maybe next week. We are going to get to see more of the city, tomorrow. We will be with the director of Morgan Hill and the Wilks family- so that is something to look forward to and to help pass the day!
Thank you all for continuing to pray for us. Hoping (and praying HARD!) for a very productive week. Please feel free to message us or comment on the Facebook group with happenings at home! We love seeing what all is going on- it helps us to not feel so disconnected. Especially around the holidays when there's so much festivity we're missing out on. Next holiday season will be wonderful- but we sure do miss all the familiar traditions and happenings this year!

Objectives: Reviews of the handling of covariates in trials have explicitly excluded cluster randomized trials (CRTs). In this study, we review the use of covariates in randomization, the reporting of covariates, and adjusted analyses in CRTs. Study Design and Setting: We reviewed a random sample of 300 CRTs published between 2000 and 2008 across 150 English language journals. Results: Fifty-eight percent of trials used covariates in randomization. Only 69 (23%) included tables of cluster- and individual-level covariates. Fifty-eight percent reported significance tests of baseline balance. Of 207 trials that reported baseline measures of the primary outcome, 155 (75%) subsequently adjusted for these in analyses. Of 174 trials that used covariates in randomization, 30 (17%) included an analysis adjusting for all those covariates. Of 219 trial reports that included an adjusted analysis of the primary outcome, only 71 (32%) reported that covariates were chosen a priori. Conclusion: There are some marked discrepancies between practice and guidance on the use of covariates in the design, analysis, and reporting of CRTs. It is essential that researchers follow guidelines on the use and reporting of covariates in CRTs, promoting the validity of trial conclusions and quality of trial reports.

All Head, All Spine, All Limb, All Loin
Diva Urd replied to patina's topic in Limited EditionsThis... this is what I was hoping to get from Snake Skin! ❤ My skin chemistry seems to adore SO enough to amp it over everything it might be mixed with, so I get only the slightest hint of leather over garden-variety SO from Skin, but this balances out beautifully on me as well as on the hubbo! In the beginning, the SO and darker components war a bit with each other, leading to an almost peanutty note, but after about ten minutes, All Head turns into a very leathery Snake Oil, and stays like this for pretty much ever. I'm a huge fan of this!
I personally didn't get anything I'd associate with "swampiness" from it - I'd expect something deep, woody/murky/earthy in that case, but I didn't notice any such notes in there. I'd definitely give a decant a try if you're looking for aquatics!
Give the new Swamp Skank a try - it's super-oceany for me!
Groom of Frankenstein
Diva Urd replied to doomsday_disco's topic in Event Exclusive OilsDisclaimer: I've always been a bit wary of ozone, since, in some combinations, my skin forces scents containing it into Dryer Sheet Syndrome. However, I'm also a sucker for BPAL's black leather and have drag-kinged before, so I risked a blind buy from Etsy in the hopes that I'd be able to swap it away if it turned out it wasn't for me. Well, long story short, I'm no longer worried about trying to find a new home for it, because this baby stays right here in my paws. The leather is delicious, and the ozone gives the scent a coolness that makes this the perfect leather blend for summer for me (if I wear other leather blends such as Kroenen or Adam, they tend to make me feel too hot in 93 degree F/33 degree C weather, but this one doesn't!). The throw is good, but not OMG LET ME OVERPOWER THE ENTIRE ROOM from what I can tell, and wear length is well within the 12-hour range (it stays even longer on clothes). tl;dr: Much love for Groom of Frankenstein from me <3
Blood Popsicle
Diva Urd replied to Aldercy's topic in Only Lovers Left AliveOh, this is very interesting. In the vial, I get mostly dragon's blood, I think. On me, I believe I detect red musk, and perhaps a variety of lotus? Overall, it's a fairly sweet, light floral, though it doesn't seem to have a ton of waft or staying power on me. I like it, but I'll just keep the decant.
Eve (With Sage Fuck Up)
Diva Urd replied to Silvertree's topic in Limited EditionsI bought a full bottle of the sage version since I figured I wouldn't have a problem passing it on if it wasn't my thing, and just the other day, I also received a decant of the original, so it was DEATHMATCHING TIME! I have to say I agree with Silvertree, particularly since I also have difficulties wearing rose. The one in Eve is fairly restrained, so it's probably not necessarily a death note for similarly challenged folks, but it's there on my skin, if not necessarily in the vial (in vitro, so to say, they are very difficult to tell apart for me). As a result, OG Eve is a bit softer than SFU Eve, but also has an ever-so-slightly soapy tinge on me, which is absent in the sage version. tl;dr: I'm really glad I have a bottle of Eve WSFU, and I don't think I'll have to hunt down a bottle of OG Eve, though I will keep the decant for when I'm in a rare "softer" mood.
Smoky Rose?
Diva Urd replied to Nilbog's topic in RecommendationsAlthough it doesn't have any "true" rose note listed (rose geranium is a different plant species, though it reads as rose to some in the reviews), reading your description made me wonder if Kostnice might be up your alley? It's DC'd, but regularly shows up in sales posts and on the BPAL etsy site: A celebration of the Bone Church of Prague. Frankincense, rosewood, lily, and geranium rose. Here's the review thread: http://www.bpal.org/topic/2609-kostnice/
Very, Very Dreadfully Nervous Hair Gloss
Diva Urd posted a topic in HairTRUE! nervous very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? A proclamation of sanity: a dignified bay rum cologne and a hint of respectable lime aftershave, pierced through by glittering shards of madness. Well, since no one has written a review for this yet, I'll give it a try, particularly since I found that I really like this. The primary note is indeed bay rum, given a little zing by the lime. I don't know that this codes as super-masculine for me - I'd call it unisex. As for the "glittering shards of madness," I find myself wondering whether there might be a hint of carnation in here and that's what that refers to. It doesn't scream floral in case you might be worried about that, but the note underneath the two big players mentioned above reminds me a lot of Amaterasu v2 somehow. The overall feeling of this is a bit powdery and a bit "fizzy," not too outrageous to wear while out and about, but also not exactly shy in terms of throw and wear length. Very enjoyable!
The Moon Reflected in Every Rice Paddy Hair Gloss
Diva Urd replied to Lambent's topic in HairSo, confession time: I'm not usually a vanilla fiend - I like it as a component in scents, but I'm not in favor of it if it's super-foody. A decant of this HG only wandered into my order belatedly, because I was curious about its combination with rice, musk, and orris root and I did have the money to spare. At first, I liked it, but didn't love it. However, then, I found myself reaching for it again... and again... and again... By now, it's probably my favorite of the Luper hair glosses. As others have mentioned above, it's not overly sweet or foody, unobtrusive, and goes with a wide range of other scents, but even when I'm only wearing it by itself, I can't stop sniffing my hair. I've just ordered a full bottle.
Rubber Chicken Bath Bomb
Diva Urd posted a topic in BubbleThese bath bombs were crafted by Porcelain Wolf exclusively for Black Phoenix Trading Post. Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab crafted a ludicrous scent for the project: a radiant, ridiculous blend of banana, sweet orange, ambrette seed, and neroli. Well, this baby was certainly super-fruity~ The banana and orange are front and center, making this smell all bubbly and tropical, almost mango-y. it wouldn't usually be my style and I don't know if I'd have sprung for it if it hadn't been a one-off bath bomb, but, say, a bath oil, but taking a bath with it was, for lack of a better word, fun! The water turned a deep orange and felt almost velvety after the bath bomb had completely dissolved. The scent was energizing and uplifting, and I'd say "ridiculous" would also be a good way to describe it I emerged from the tub with a smile on my face, and my skin well-moisturized. Would definitely buy more bath bombs coming out of a Porcelain Wolf x BPTP collaboration! *is keeping the miniature rubber chicken in her purse for luck from now on*
Diva Urd replied to ClockworkMoM's topic in LupercaliaThis is very light, but it's an incredibly comforting scent. It's like "It Sifts From Leaden Sieves" and "Goblin" had the cutest love child together! The patch anchors the coconut, vanilla and tonka, there's only the slightest whiff of leather here and there, and while it's definitely a skin scent, it lasts long enough on me that I can justify a bottle. Beautiful!
Initiation Sentimentale
Diva Urd replied to Lycanthrope's topic in LupercaliaThis is a gorgeous spring floral with a hint of spice in the backdrop. Initially on, this and "Consoling Pussy" smell quite similar due to the first wisteria waft, but where "Consoling Pussy" gets deeper and a little smoky from the incense, this one turns lighter and zippier. This is beautiful! I ordered myself a bottle. If you like florals that aren't all about rose, lily, or jasmine, give this one a try!
Incense Chaos Theory Hair Gloss
Diva Urd replied to Bunny Butt's topic in HairLXVI: I really like this one! It's hard to tell what all might be in here, but I think I smell opium and nag champa. Very incense-y, good throw, definitely my thing!
Uncertain Horror Hair Gloss
Diva Urd replied to annemathematics's topic in HairI took a chance on this as I'm a lover of most things patchouli and sandalwood, but unfortunately, either due to my hair or because my nose is broken, I'm not getting either from this. Instead, the tobacco and the sage seem to combine into something that leaves me with the impression that I'm smelling a mixture of antifreeze and marijuana fumes at first. When the DH physically recoiled from the lock of hair I tested it on, I went to take a shower right away. I'll rehome this decant - it wasn't meant to be my friend.
Zombie Green Hair Gloss
Diva Urd replied to Casablanca's topic in HairI absolutely *adore* this. It's so very intensely green - all moss and dandelion with some musk to anchor it. It also lasts a long time, and plays well with the musk- and patch-heavy oils I like to wear (and is dead-on matched with "Road House"). I had to get a full bottle of this, because I never want to be without it again.

James Cameron, the director of the movie Avatar, has long been a supporter of 3D, and hopes his new release will be the big push the studios need to start making all their movies in 3D. It did after all break Box Office records, at the very least demonstrating the potential financial benefits of 3D moviemaking. Avatar is among many recent 3D releases, with the Toy Story back catalogue being recently re-released in 3D and a multitude of new releases scheduled this year. Anyone who seen a movie in 3D will quickly realize the benefits. There's nothing more exciting than having to duck your head to avoid an unfortunate character's kidney flying towards you or the rush you get during a high-speed, 3D car chase. Although the public is flocking to see it, the success of 3D cinema will ultimately be down to the studios, who must decide if the technology is worth investing in.
3D doesn't have to stay in the cinema either. At the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show, the showcase for the latest technology, many of the major TV manufacturers demonstrated their own 3D compatible products, with what will be called "3D Ready" TVs available sometime later this year. These TVs will still require users to wear polarizing glasses, but there are some prototype TVs which use lenticular technology which can be viewed without glasses. This technology is currently in its early stages and is too expensive to mass-produce at the moment but is certainly going to become the preferred technology.
It was also recently announced that 3D movies will be available on Blu-Ray, with Disney's "A Christmas Carol" and DreamWorks "Monsters Vs Aliens" being among the first to be released in 3D. In addition to this, Sony has announced that they will make their flagship console, the Playstation 3 3D Blu-Ray compatible via a firmware update.
Getting that gorgeous 3D picture on your new 3D TV should be made easier for Sky customers this year, with Sky reportedly launching a 3D channel after successful technical trials. Others, such as Virgin Media will undoubtedly follow suit assuming it's successful. So, could 2010 be the year 3D finally takes off?

Fortnite map is leaking into the real world, as Durr Burger found in desert | Gaming
A rip in time and space has caused props and objects from Fortnite to be found in California, in one of the best game promotions ever.
Game review: Hollow Knight on Switch is a must-have indie smash
It may already be the world's biggest video game, but you really can't begrudge Fortnite its success when it puts this much effort into promoting itself.
If you didn't know, the latest incident in the game was a rocket launch that went wrong and opened up a giant Doctor Who style crack in time and space.
Smaller cracks then began to appear all across the game world, causing things like the Durr Burger model from the Greasy Grove restaurant to disappear… and then end up in the real world.
Obviously Epic Games got someone to put it there, on the edge of the Mojave Desert in California, but if you're one of Fortnite's younger players the fact that the game seems to be leaking into the real world will just about blow your mind.
Next to the burger sign is a (fake) police car with a sign saying, 'This site is unstable. Beware of possible effects'. There's also a camouflage tent with a sign that says, 'If you can read this you're in range of the anomaly'.
But on top of that there were actors hanging around nearby, pretending to be Men in Black style secret agents from the game and handing out cards. And when you phone the number on the card you can hear the sound of an object being sucked into a rift.
It was all originally discovered by a random photographer, who had no idea what Fortnite is, but fan theories now suggest it's laying the groundwork for season five of the game.
The current theory is that season five's theme will be time travel, with hackers having already found references in the game's code to Wild West props and old school Penny Farthing bicycles.
It's imagined that objects from different time periods will start appearing in the Fortnite game world, which already seems to have happened with an Ancient Greek ship anchor.
More: Gaming
Plus, Wild West heroes have been confirmed by Epic themselves as being added to Save the World mode.
Fortnite Season 5 is due to start on Thursday, July 12 and as always Fortnite is free to play on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and iOS.
But in the meantime do be on the look out for other in-game items that have disappeared from the game. Particularly the giant tomato head from Tomato Town, which now seems very likely to turn up in our reality.

New Cincinnati Reds skipper David Bell led Moeller Crusaders to state title
It was a first for Mike Cameron.
Though long employed by the Cincinnati Reds as an official scorekeeper, he had never witnessed an actual, "live" press conference involving the team. For Cameron, this was more than just a routine press conference. Now, if the new manager of the Cincinnati Reds, David Bell, has a question about a scoring decision, he'll be calling his old high school coach.
Prior to his professional baseball experience as a player and a coach, David Bell was a three-year starter for Mike Cameron at Moeller High School. Bell also played basketball and was inducted into the Moeller Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001.
"That was exciting," Cameron said after the press gathering. "I've got to pinch myself. I look back and say, 'Golly, has God ever blessed me to have a career like this?' I've got to be honest, when I started I was just hoping I'd get a kid to be an all-conference player and maybe win a league title. I've been blessed."
Cameron, who still coaches junior varsity at the school, coached varsity at Moeller for 39 seasons winning four state titles (including 1989 with Bell), five regional championships, 10 district titles and 17 sectional titles. From that crew came several big leaguers, including Bell and a couple of familiar Reds/Cooperstown inductees in Barry Larkin and Ken Griffey Jr.
Cameron and Moeller freshman coach Ron Roth, who also scores Reds games, have seen more baseball royalty than most.
"David was a pretty good player," Cameron said. "The big thing that separated him was his baseball IQ. I never had a kid that had the baseball mental part down like he did. High school kids can't always handle it, which you expect."
Like his father Buddy was in the big leagues, David was the third baseman at Moeller. He had 96 career hits, including 18 doubles in his junior season. Considering the high school season is about two months, depending on the postseason, the numbers are impressive. Bell played 1988-1990 along with another Crusader who went pro, Adam Hyzdu, brother of current Moeller president Marshall Hyzdu.
Cameron also coached Bell's brothers, Ricky and Mike who also had pro careers. Buddy Bell would come on occasion to watch his kids and his former coach. That's right, in the first of his 39 seasons as Moeller's head coach, Cameron also had David Bell's father on the roster. He had to overcome coaching the son of a major leaguer (former Red Gus Bell) early.
"That was my first year," Cameron said. "He played second base. They (Bells) would come and go down right-field or left-field out of the way. They didn't interfere with you at all. Gus would a lot of times be up in his car. If Buddy would do something, make a play, get a hit, you'd hear this little beep on the horn."
Gus Bell assured Cameron that he'd had his day in the sun and never interfered. Same with every Bell he dealt with from there.
"They're very genuine and humble," Cameron said of the Bell family. "It's a great family."
Cameron thinks that demeanor will serve David Bell well in his new position. He admired his handling of the introductory press conference.
"He said this is his dream job and he'll have the opportunity to work with his Dad," Cameron said. "He's excited about that."
As David Bell moves back into the area, he and his wife are the parents of an 11-year-old daughter and a younger son. Should fans want to follow the baseball bloodlines, David Bell's son is named Gus. Cameron may not get to coach him, but it's a safe bet the young lad will be introduced to a baseball if he's not sleeping with one already.
As for those he coaches now, some aren't aware that a pair of Hall of Famers and now a major league manager once looked at a line-up card authored by Cameron to see where they were hitting.
"That's OK," Cameron said chuckling. "I kind of like it that way anyway. Hopefully, they listen to me because I'm their coach. I enjoy it. That's why I keep doing it."

This has been a busy and emotional week. All really good stuff but none the less...a few tears have been shed. :-)
On Friday of this week, I will be traveling to Baltimore, MD to hang out some absolutely fabulous friends, Hope, Kari and Cassondra! OMG! I am SO thrilled about this trip and can't believe the time is just about here! We have been planning this trip ever since our wonderful time last year.
The four of us have each met and come to know each other on separate occasions over these last few years; however, through these visits, online conversations and secrets shared, we realized there is a wonderful magic in our friendship and, speaking for myself, tremendous joy, happiness and inspiration happens when I am with these three beautiful souls!
Cassondra, me, Kari and Hope
When we took the picture above at Art in Ashland in August, 2008, little did we know we would be setting a precedent. When these lovelies visited me in Portland last year, we recreated this pose when we were at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden (during the golden hour, I might add).
Hmmm...where will our next picture be? :-)
In preparation for this trip, Kari sent each of us a book to use as our souvenir journals. Does she know us or what? I've been working on mine, trying to build "blank" pages so that while I am on my trip, I can fill it in.
Also working on a group project with these three girls that involves a special word near and dear to our hearts. I won't share that; however, until I'm back from this trip.
And then there's also a few little prizes that I'm bringing along for the other adorable girlies that I get to see on this trip...Cammy, Kelli and Pam!
So on to the good thing that has me keeping the tissue handy....my bright and shiny daughter graduates Yoga Instructor school next week. She is leaving this Thursday to start her journey southward to the school's headquarters in California. Glen and I are SO proud of Miranda for not only starting this program and finishing it, but her committment and growth as a woman and human along this path has been remarkable. She is amazing and I'm so proud and impressed by the depth of her knowledge.
So far none of this is tissue worthy, right? Well, it continues. After Miranda graduates, she will be staying in California! Indefinitely and with the only plan to continue growing, learning and making her life meaningful. Miranda is a member of WWOOF and will be exploring that as one of her goals is to live in an intentional community. Sigh...
So even though I am going to miss my beautiful, accomplished daughter like I'd miss my right arm, the thrill and joy I am experiencing in having raised this young woman to be adventurous and confident is extremely rewarding. She is bravely taking the path less traveled and I couldn't be more proud of her!

Some of pop culture's biggest stars will be in town this month when Salt Lake Comic Con kicks off its FanXperience convention. Over 100 celebrity guests will be at FanX, which will take at the Salt Palace Convention Center on April 17–19. The guests include action heroes and science fiction icons, along with well-known musicians and best-selling authors.
In separate interviews, FanX guests Kelly Hu, Cassandra Peterson and Billy Dee Williams told the Deseret News they are anxious to meet their fans in Salt Lake City.
Hu, known for her role as Lady Deathstrike in "X-Men 2" and for her work as China White on the CW's "Arrow," didn't always plan on being an actress. In fact, as a 16-year-old, she had dreams of becoming a model. After being crowned Miss Teen USA in 1985, the Hawaii native said she was given an opportunity to head down a different career path.
"It opened a lot of doors for me," Hu said. In 1987, she got her first acting job in a two-part episode of "Growing Pains" and purchsed a full-page ad in Variety magazine, announcing that she was available for West Coast representation. She would later go on to become a regular on TV shows, including "Sunset Beach" (1997), "Nash Bridges" (1997-98) and "Martial Law" (1998-2000).
Hu recalled resenting having to attend ballet classes as a young girl while her brother took up kung fu. She described her childhood as being "very traditional," but added, "I always wanted to do all the things that my brother did."
Years later, after moving in with a like-minded roommate, Hu was presented with an opportunity to fulfill that dream by enrolling in karate classes.
"I didn't take up martial arts to become, you know, an 'action girl,'" the actress said. "It just so happened that I got a black belt because my roommate was getting her black belt and it got me interested."
Hu's résumé also includes work with martial artists such as Scott Adkins and Jet Li. She has also had fight scenes with Hugh Jackman in "X-Men 2," as well as a role alongside former professional wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who she worked with in "The Scorpion King."
"I love days when I don't have to learn dialogue and all I have to do is beat up on guys," Hu said. "It's a fun day. And I've been fortunate to be able to do a lot of that."
FanX guest Cassandra Peterson burst onto the pop culture scene in 1981 with her role as Elvira, the comedic host of the campy "Movie Macabre" TV show. Nearly three decades later, her iconic character has to some people become practically synonymous with Halloween.
"Up until that time, horror hosts were generally a local phenomenon. Everybody in their own little town had their own horror host," said Peterson, who became the first nationally syndicated horror host on television. "For the first time, I was able to syndicate my show all over the country, so the awareness grew much bigger than if I would have been local."
Peterson described landing the role as Elvira as "very much an accident," saying that, as a comedienne trying to break into acting, she had been interviewing for "everything." When she applied for an opening as a horror host, she got the big break she had been hoping for.
"They liked the fact that I was kind of the goofy, valley-girl type of a character," Peterson said. "They wanted me to keep that character and then dress spooky. I was really very skeptical about how that would work out, but apparently it worked out OK because, 35 years later, I'm still doing it."
Peterson, who is known as the Queen of Halloween, said the longevity of her character's success comes from its yearly attachment to the October holiday. "During Halloween, I'm on television, on the radio and I can't get away from Elvira," she said. "Then I go underground a little bit. But then Halloween happens and (I'm) back again!"
Billy Dee Williams etched himself a permanent place in Hollywood fame with his role as Lando Calrissian in the original Star Wars trilogy, but he actually got his start as a 6-year-old singing on Broadway, which the actor jokingly referred to as being "100 years ago."
Williams' IMDb page lists 130 credits — including three projects filmed in Utah. But he said that working with George Lucas for the Star Wars films was easily a highlight for him.
"It was a lot of fun for me, and it was, obviously, a monumental step in my life and my career," Williams said. "To be able to work with people of that caliber was a good career."
By working with recent projects, including "Robot Chicken," "The Cleveland Show" and most recently "The Lego Movie," Williams has been able to revisit his Star Wars role in a humorous light that allows him to expand his character's legacy.
"When I parody myself or my character, Lando Calrissian, it's always a lot of fun for me. I enjoy it," Williams said. "There was never an opportunity to really explore Lando and his life, separate from all the other situations going on."
Williams also recently performed a Star Wars-themed cha cha as a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars." He described his experience on the show as "rough," adding, "It's a challenge, especially at this juncture of my life with all my ailments. … I've got no business getting out there and trying to dance with all those young folks." He and his partner, professional dancer Emma Slater, withdrew from the competition during an episode on March 31 due to an injury to Williams' back.
According to Salt Lake Comic Con's master guest schedule, Hu, Peterson and Williams are scheduled to appear during all three days of FanX. The three guests explained their takes on the draw conventions have on fans.
"There's a deep attachment to those characters and those things we loved as a kid," said Peterson, who co-owns a convention called Comikaze with comic book legend Stan Lee. "So I think it's a chance for kids, adults and everyone to kind of come and see their heroes from when they were young and meet them. It seems to be a really big deal for people. They love it."
"It's an experience," Hu said. "It's one of those that you really should go to and experience at least once in your life.
"It's an opportunity for me to meet these people who have followed my career, and I love when people get into it," she said. "I love when people get all dressed up and cosplay and stuff like that. It's such a great way for people to be able to show their creativity. It's a creative outlet for a lot of people who wouldn't necessarily have a stage."
Williams also said he enjoys spending time with his fans at conventions. "It gives me a chance to meet all of the people who have given me so much support throughout the years," he said. "I just enjoy it. It's fun — all the creativity, all the people in their costumes. I love to see all that stuff."
"It's kind of like Halloween in the middle of the year," Peterson said. "It's fun for kids; it's fun for adults — every age. It's fairly inexpensive for a whole day's entertainment and, I mean, I've never seen a person yet who hasn't gone to one of these and just had a blast."
Single-day and multi-day passes for Salt Lake Comic Con FanXperience are available online at SaltLakeComicCon.com.

Before we moved our translations to Transifex, we kept our glossary as "Translation Dictionaries" on the Wiki. We are keeping them here for archival purposes, especially so that translators can still access them during the transition from the old translation site, but we recommend that you work with our Transifex Glossary now.
Check also the Terminology Correspondence Table if you have problems locating an English string - we have had some terminology changes throughout the history of the project, and the glossary might not have been updated for your language yet.

March 17, 2004
During interims--the period between regular legislative sessions--standing committees are given specific charges and other special committees are created. I would like to fill you in on my interim study appointments by Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.
After each regular legislative session, we legislators return to our homes to practice our chosen professions and to attend to constituent needs. However, our jobs do not end there! We are also needed to continue our service on standing committees that review legislative initiatives from the previous session and prepare us for the major issues to be addressed during the next legislature.
Many of us are also asked to serve on various "special" interim committees to address issues of particular concern to the people of Texas and the legislative leadership.
I am currently Chair of the International Relations and Trade (IRT) Committee, a regular standing committee, which met recently in El Paso. We are scheduled to hold more public hearings in other parts of the state, including South Texas.
The IRT Committee is charged this interim with examining programs that will foster economic development necessary to keep Texas competitive in trade and commerce. The role of the North American Development Bank, the Border Environment Cooperation Commission, and the International Boundary and Water Commission will be researched and analyzed in order to maximize their effectiveness. We are also studying immigration, the effects of the U.S.-VISIT Program, colonia infrastructure and employment trends, as well as the 10-year impact of NAFTA.
I have also been appointed to the Joint Select Committee on Public School Finance. This group was charged with developing an efficient and equitable system of free public schools while finding ways to lower property taxes for homeowners.
Also affecting public schools is the issue of child nutrition. Senate Bill 474, which I carried during the 78th legislative session, created the Joint Interim Committee on Nutrition and Health in Public Schools, on which I also serve. This committee will evaluate methods on improving nutrition and quality of public school foods, the impact of obesity in public school children, vending machine and other competitive food contracts with schools, and a universal breakfast and lunch program.
Additionally, I serve on the Senate Select Committee on Water Policy, which is studying all issues related to ground and surface water, and the Senate Subcommittee on the Lease of State Water Rights, which is examining proposals to develop and market water through leasing of the permanent school fund and permanent university lands, and their water rights.
Since I passed legislation creating the Rio Grande Regional Water Authority during the 78th session, I am really pleased to be on both committees, but especially the one on water policy because it affects the Authority. This body was created by Senate Bill 1902, which is poised to assist and serve six counties below the Amistad Reservoir--Cameron, Willacy, Hidalgo, Starr, Zapata and Webb--with water conservation and management activities on a regional basis.
As a member of the Business and Commerce Committee, I have the opportunity to participate in evaluating its charges regarding unemployment compensation insurance, the impact of changes in home equity lending, the potential for further renewable energy development in Texas, and others.
The other committee I sit on--the Jurisprudence Committee--will study the jurisdiction of all local and state courts, judicial salaries and benefits, arbitration statutes and insanity defense laws.
As you can see from this brief overview, although we are technically part-time legislators, the concerns of Texans keep us pretty busy even when we are not in session.
As always, if you have any input or questions regarding these or other matters, please do not hesitate to contact my office in Austin at 512-463-0127, Brownsville at 956-548-0227 and Weslaco at 956-968-9927.

Welcome back the #meetourparticipants series!
We thought we'd whet your appetite for summer 2019, by bringing you first-hand experiences from our 2018 participants!
So whether you are interested in attending our summer schools, or just want to learn more about our amazing alumni, be sure to read on!
Let's get it started with this interview with the awesome Matea from Croatia!
So, Matea tell us a little bit about yourself!
[Matea]: I am currently studying Analysis and Business Planning at Zagreb University. During my childhood, I was surrounded by mathematicians which is where I fell in love with mathematics in the first place. But I couldn't see myself buried in numbers my whole life. That's when I discovered economics, where I can combine my love for math and interpersonal relationships. That is the main reason I chose this area of business as my Master's degree.
Did you know – We are proud to attract a wide range of backgrounds to our programs to truly represent a real workplace environment! Don't hesitate to join us even if you are not from a business background!
What's the 5-year plan?
In 5 years from now, I see myself working and living abroad somewhere. I would like to gather as much experience as I can work in international companies and hopefully, one day, start my own business. I would like to work towards something that I believe in and that I'm passionate about. That's exactly what I hope I will find during my professional journey.
Love the determination, Matea! Check out our blog post on Unleashing your genius and finding your way!
The best thing about Toronto Business Academy?
I have two favorite experiences on the program and I can't decide which one I enjoyed more! The first thing was meeting lots of new people from all around the world. During Toronto Business Academy I made a lot of new friendships that will, surely, last a lifetime.
The second was when we had the opportunity to present our business ideas to real investors. We had a chance to experience what it means to pitch your own idea to experienced business people. I found this a really valuable experience!
Why study in the summer vacation?
I realized that just my university education will not be enough for me to find a job after I finish my Masters, and that I can't get any real-life experience at my University. So I started to look for summer schools. As I mentioned before, I love to travel and when I found out about Toronto Business Academy I knew right away that it was the place to be!
Any advice for this year's participants?
The only piece of advice I have for this year participants is to have fun and try to really take advantage of every opportunity that will be given to you during the program. You just might find something that you are passionate about and find things that will be very useful to you during your professional growth.
Thanks, Matea, it was great to hear about your experiences at our summer school and your ambitions for the future!
Stay tuned for more interviews with our fantastic alumni in the #meetourparticipants series!

Scott Hall was born into a military family on October 20, 1958. Due to the army life he grew up a traveller and spent his high school years at the All American High in Munich, Germany. When his family returned to the States he attended St Mary's College in Maryland where he graduated with a degree in Pre Med, with hopes to become a children's doctor. By this time Scott was already training to be a wrestler. He made his ring debut in South Carolina in 1984, and was picked up by the now defunct AWA soon after.
Almost a decade later without hitting major success in the wrestling world, Scott Hall signed with the WWF in 1992. Taking a character he had used previously in WCW, Scott expanded the Diamond Studd and turned him into a Cuban gangster, basing "The Bad Guy" Razor Ramon on the gangster movies he'd watched as a child.
After 3 successful years as Razor, and some great matches, including the Ladder Match against the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 10 (since voted the best Wrestlemania match of all time), Scott signed with WCW, where he had some of the most controversial years of his career. His May 1996 appearance on the Turner Broadcasting Monday Nitro program breathed life into a dying wrestling market when he instigated the New World Order. After winning several tag team golds with his best friend Kevin Nash, and a couple of singles US championships, Scott received an injury to his neck during a match with Jeff Jarrett in February 2000, which kept him off TV. Scott was fired from WCW in October of 2000, allegedly due to drunken behavior on a German tour prior to his injury.
In March 2001 Scott began to tour with New Japan. He did so well that New Japan invited him back several times throughout 2001. He also did a couple of independent shows around Florida and Alabama. January 2002 – Scott signed a two year deal with the WWF to bring back the New World Order with Kevin Nash and Hollywood Hulk Hogan. They made their first appearance in February. Scott faced Stone Cold Steve Austin at Wrestlemania X-8 in March, taking the loss. Granted custody of his 2 children and with a part time wrestling career it looks like Hall has finally found the balance he needs to go out as a star.
