What you need to know about the new COVID-19 restrictions in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania COVID-19 live updates, news and information
By 6abc Digital Staff and Jaclyn Lee
New COVID restrictions take effect in Pennsylvania
HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Saturday begins another version of a shutdown across the commonwealth.
The following coronavirus-related restrictions took effect on 12:01 a.m. and will last through 8 a.m. on Monday, January 4, 2021:
-	Indoor dining is prohibited, including but not limited to, bars, restaurants, breweries, wineries, distilleries, social clubs, and private catered events. Outdoor dining, take-out food service, and take-out alcohol sales may continue.
-	Indoor operations at gyms are prohibited. Outdoor facilities and classes can continue, but all participants must wear face coverings.
-	No indoor gatherings of more than 10 people. Churches, synagogues, temples, mosques, and other places of congregate worship are specifically excluded from the limitations, but are strongly encouraged to find alternative methods for worship.
-	No outdoor gatherings of more than 50 people
-	No in-person extracurricular activities allowed
-	All sports at K-12 public schools, nonpublic schools, private schools and club, travel, recreational, intermural, and intramural sports are paused.
-	In-person businesses must operate at 50% capacity
-	All in-person entertainment including, but not limited to, theaters, concert venues, museums, movie theaters, arcades, casinos, bowling alleys and private clubs are prohibited from operation.
But business owners say the fact these restrictions are happening around the holidays is devastating.
RELATED: Business owners turn to community for support as new Pa. restrictions take effect
Amid the new Pennsylvania restrictions, Ryan Christopher's in Narbeth, Montgomery County is depending on the community for support.
"Now we're going to have to end up putting more people on unemployment for the holidays," said Matthew Caffrey, owner of Chambers 19 Bistro and Bar in Doylestown. "It's a horrible thing and I think its totally unnecessary."
Caffrey said he's going to continue complying with the orders because he doesn't want to lose his liquor license, but he understands why some business owners won't listen this time.
State officials said the restrictions are necessary as COVID-19 cases in Pennsylvania are surging with an average of more than 10,000 cases per day.
"Could we see ourselves doing it? Absolutely because if everyone did it, we'd be right along with it," said Caffrey. "For now, we'll do what were supposed to do."

Governor Tom Wolf announced tighter COVID-19 restrictions Thursday afternoon as the virus rages on across the commonwealth.
Bucks County and Philadelphia are seeing the most cases per capita in Pennsylvania.
"It's a shame but people have to learn and the only way its going to get better is to shut down and stay home," said Dorothea Tinari of Buckingham.
The state is also requiring indoors gyms to shut down but a Facebook post by the Newtown Athletic Club says they've had no instances of community spread and are keeping their doors open for loyal members.
At least one gym in Bucks County is vowing to remain open when the new restrictions take effect.
Locals say they understand why a business would defy orders.
"A lot of people are losing money and we don't have any stimulus checks, we don't have any support from the government," said Marc Green of Doylestown.
In-person business must operate at 50 percent capacity and all sports at K-12 schools, intramural and travel sports are paused.

I love summer…especially now that we're on leave and the days are our own to do whatever we want to do. No early morning alarm that needs to be set, no sitting in traffic to get to the office (Pieter, not me), no work deadlines – nothing, nada. Most holiday plans involve some sort of beach or pool activity and boy oh boy – if (like me) you picked up a bit of weight, then a bikini is the last thing you want to wear.
I bought my first one piece swimsuit a year or two ago and I love that it covers up my tummy. I also need a swimsuit with some sort of bust support, and I find that most bikini tops are cut too low and you constantly have to check that 'everything' is still where it should be.
When I spotted this mint green one piece at Checkers Hyper, I had to buy it. I can't remember the exact price (I think it was R169.99 – definitely below the R200 mark) but it's one of my favourite recent bargain finds. The pleated top area adds an interesting detail to an otherwise boring swimsuit, and the mint green colour is just oh so summer perfect.
I love this kimono-style cover up. I bought it a couple of years ago at China Town and with its closed frontside it's perfect to wear over a swimsuit for a bit more of a covered look. It's a chiffon type of material, so it's see through but it shows just enough without making me uncomfortable. I'm in such a weird headspace at the moment. I weigh more now that I ever have, but for some reason I'm very comfortable in my skin.
When I weighed 15kg less – I was so conscious of my body and the way I looked – back then I would never dream of doing a swim suit / beach type of look post. I also didn't want to wear white skinny jeans because it makes me look 'fat.' I'm not saying I'll do a full on bikini-let's-show-it-all shoot, but I'm definitely more in a 'who cares' kinda space. Wearing white skinny jeans? Tick. Doing a swimsuit look post? Tick.
Carla jy lyk beautiful! Ek love die cover-up en die swembroek! Sal persoonlik hou van 'n swart een!

F.Andersson
Prime Tribune
Assumed office:
Preceded by: - C. Maurya (Emperor)
Succeeded by: -
OAM national representative member
Preceded by: -
OAMTA Commander of the Baltic Sea
Born: 1987 (age 35–36)
Macronationality: Swedish
Micronationality Exilarchy of Ashoka
F. Andersson is the Prime Tribune as well as Tribune of Foreign Affairs of the Exilarchy of Ashoka. As a citizen present soon after the founding of the nation he has been able to put his mark on it. As a active Buddhist practitioner F. Andersson has been especially involved in establishing Ashoka's Buddhist identity as well as making the nation known by other micronations. As Tribune of Foreign Affairs he is the voice of the nation when dealing with diplomatic relations.
1.1 Assuming office
1.2 Rising tension
2.1 Prime Tribune
2.2 Tribune of Foreign Affairs
2.3 OAM national representative member
2.4 OAMTA Commander of the Baltic Sea
Assuming office
F. Andersson assumed the office of Tribune of Foreign Affairs on September the 3rd 2010. He did so by request of the current emperor of the nation Carl F. Maurya whom he met on MicroWiki. The two soon became good friends and together they moved the nation of Ashoka from a idea to reality.
Rising tension
During a special meeting held to discuss the future of the nation a heated argument arose between F. Andersson and Emperor Maurya. What exactly the argument was about is confidential. However, a vote of non-confidence, a so called Impeachment of the Emperor, was suggested by F. Andersson. The rest of the Tribunes of the Grand Tribunal agreed. A vote of no confidence against the emperor passed on October 25, 2010. According to the constitution the emperor had no other choice than to accept the decision of the Grand Assembly, but he did not. So a spark was created which ignited the powder keg and the Autumn Revolution began on October 25, 2010. The Grand Assembly seized all accounts linked to the nation as the Security and Information Bureau performed what would be known as Operation: Lock and Block. During this operation all accounts linked to Emperor Maurya was either deleted or blocked from gaining access to Ashoki databases. The emperor was furious and soon began a campaign to regain his throne. However, due to diplomatic relations and SIB involvement he did not manage to rally any support. After a short period of the emperor faded away and on November 14, 2010 the Autumn Revolution was declared over. F. Andersson now stepped up as the Head of State under the new title Prime Tribune, the leader of the Grand Tribunal.
F. Andersson assumed the office of Prime Tribune on November the 14th 2010 at the end of the Autumn Revolution. As Prime Tribune he resdides over the Grand Tribunal.
Tribune of Foreign Affairs
F. Andersson assumed the office of Tribune of Foreign Affairs on September the 3rd 2010. As Tribune of Foreign Affairs he oversees the Bureau of Diplomatic Relations as well as the Security and Information Bureau.
The Exilarchy of Ashoka joined the Organisation of Active Micronations on September the 7th 2010. As Tribune of Foreign Affairs it was only natural for F. Andersson to become the nations voice within the OAM. As the nations representative F. Andersson has been involved with a few projects such as the Micronational Song Contest as well as a few organisations such as the OAM Transport Agency where he now serves as Commander of the Baltic Sea.
As Commander of the Baltic Sea F. Andersson is in charge of supervicing all OAM activity within and/or near the Baltic Sea.

For example, milk protein allergy in young children can disappear when the child is an adult. Allergy symptoms take place swiftly soon after consuming the allergen. Meals allergy is a collection of symptoms that influence many organs and physique systems caused by food allergies. Meals intolerance is a non-immunologic reaction and the food is mainly trigger unwanted reactions to food. In persons who are pretty sensitive, really small consumption of meals allergens can trigger allergies.
Adverse reactions to food are typically occurs in every day life. Of all adverse reactions to foods and meals additives roughly 20% due to meals allergies. This reaction could be a secondary reaction to meals allergies or meals intolerance. Putting meals on surfaces that have touched allergens can trigger cross-get in touch with. Other additives, such as sulphur dioxide, sulphites, azo dyes and benzoate preservatives also in some cases result in genuine allergic reactions, such as asthma.
In some food allergy literature utilised to express a reaction to a meals that is primarily a sort I hypersensitivity reactions and hypersensitivity to meals is basically a hypersensitivity reaction form III and IV. Food allergy is an immunological reaction (immune system) that deviate because the influx of allergy-causing substances in the body. All substances which bring about immunological reactions are named allergens.
Food allergy is much significantly less widespread than unscientific claims may well recommend and established techniques of testing, like DOUBLE-BLIND TRIALS have shown that meals allergy is not the basis of the numerous disorders generally claimed to arise from it. PEANUT ALLERGY is becoming a lot more popular and may well be risky. Food allergy is an abnormal reaction of the body's immune program against food elements (proteins) and cause adverse symptoms of the body.
Adverse reactions to meals are normally happens in everyday life.
Not all adverse reactions to meals is a pure allergic reactions, but several physicians or lay people use the term food allergy to all unwanted reaction from meals, either immunological or non-immunological. When an allergen enters the physique, then the physique will generate antibodies which then attack the allergens that trigger allergic reactions (hives, swelling of the tongue or lips, dizziness, fainting, and in severe circumstances, death).
Cause of food intolerance is due to the gastrointestinal tract of individuals lack the enzyme necessary to digest certain substances in food. Allergy to basic foodstuffs seldom occurs. A situation manifested by nearby and systemic reactions, mediated by histamine, which is released from mast cells and basophils as a outcome of exposure to cold. An acute allergic response to a meals or meals additive, with systemic indicators typical of anaphylaxis in the species concerned.
Meals intolerance is an adverse reaction to meals and bring about handful of symptoms (probably related to digestion, such as cramps, diarrhea, gas and bloating), but does not involve the immune method. Adverse meals reactions is a general term for undesirable reactions to food are ingested. Lactose intolerance happens in folks who lack the enzyme lactase in the channel cernanya so can not drink milk (unless the lactose has been removed), when individuals with celiac illness can not consume solutions containing wheat because persons can not digest gluten contained in wheat.
Definition Of Food Allergy – Other additives, such as sulphur dioxide, sulphites, azo dyes and benzoate preservatives also at times result in genuine allergic reactions, such as asthma.

Q: Finding all checked check boxes isnt working I've tried a few different ways of finding all the checkboxes that are checked but I don't know why this one isn't working.
JavaScript:
var idList = new Array();
function getIds()
{
    var loopCounter = 0;
    // find all the checked checkboxes
    $('input[name^="check_"]:checked').each
    {
        function()
        {
            //fill the array with the values
            idList[loopCounter] = $(this).val();
            loopCounter += 1;
        }
    };
}
function showArray()
{
    alert(idList);
}

and the HTML/ERB:
<% user_project_ids = @users_projects.collect { |up| up.project_id } %>

<fieldset style="width: 400px;">
    <legend>Current Projects</legend>

            Project ID
            Project Name

        <% @projects.each do |project| %>

            <%= project.id %>
            <%= project.project_number %>
            <%= project.project_name%>
            <input name="check_<%= project.id %>" type="checkbox"
                <%=' checked="yes"' if user_project_ids.include? project.id %>>

        <% end %>

</fieldset>

    CLICK

<button onclick="showArray()">Click Again</button>

Not sure why this isn't working but maybe someone can see what I can't.

A: The parameter to .each need to be in round brackets .each()
function getIds()
{
    var loopCounter = 0;
    // find all the checked checkboxes
    $('input[name^="check_"]:checked').each(function() {
        //fill the array with the values
        idList[loopCounter] = $(this).val();
        loopCounter += 1;
    });
}

A: The other answer already told you about your problem, but your code can be improved. There is no need to use a loop counter, each provides the iteration number.
function getIds()
{
    //reset idArray
    idList = [];
    // find all the checked checkboxes
    $('input[name^="check_"]:checked').each(function( ind ) {
        idList[ind] = $(this).val();
    });
}

You do not even need the index when you have methods on the array to add element
function getIds()
{
    //reset idArray
    idList = [];
    // find all the checked checkboxes
    $('input[name^="check_"]:checked').each(function() {
        idList.push( $(this).val() );
    });
}

Applying to Canadian colleges is a similar process to applying to universities. You always start by organizing yourself and determining what it is you are looking to get from your college experience. After that, it's time to do some research on the various colleges.
But don't just take it from us ... read what the official college-application service has to say by visiting Ontario Colleges. This is a great way to start your journey to the college of your choice.


I suppose every generation has its share of "Where were you when….?" moments – those "somethings" that happen that are so big, so life-altering, and which affect so many people that the vast majority of them have a memory etched into their mind of where they were when they heard the news, how they felt when they heard the news, and how it changed their life forever.
I can still remember that morning – it started off like any other morning. Rachel had gotten up early and was already dressed and on her way to high school with her friends, Michelle and Sarah were getting ready for school, and Paul was getting ready for work. I was resting in bed, waiting for Rebecca – who had turned 2 months old the day before – to wake up for her morning bottle.
Paul came into the bedroom and said he had just heard on the radio that a plane had hit the World Trade Center and it was on fire.
Now, at the time, we had NO idea that this was anything other than a horrible, tragic accident. Why would we – or anyone who wasn't right there when it happened, for that matter – have thought anything differently? We both thought that perhaps it was a small aircraft that had hit the building, and was more of a New York local interest story than anything else. The story was still so new that nobody really had any idea what, exactly, was going on.
We decided to turn the TV on, to see what was happening. What we saw was worse than what we were expecting – it was obvious that a much larger aircraft had hit the building, and I remember thinking that something must have gone horribly wrong with the aircraft's electronic systems. I also remember thinking that the fire was going to have to burn itself out, because there wasn't going to be any way to fight such a large fire so high up. I remember thinking that I hoped that all of the people above the fire would be able to get out. It was hard to wrap my brain around the thought of the scale of the damage.
By this time, Rebecca was up and was happily settled in my lap, drinking her bottle – again, a day like any other. We called Michelle and Sarah in to see what was going on – it's not every day that you see a huge skyscraper on fire, after all. They were kind of intrigued, but at 9 and 10, it seemed as if they weren't really thinking about what was going on in a city they had no connection to; they had friends to see at school and things to do that day.
The plane disappeared from view behind the other building, but it didn't reappear like it should have. As my brain was trying to process this thought, a huge fireball appeared where the plane SHOULD have been.
I remember gasping in horror. I remember my eyes getting really big. I remember Diane Sawyer echoing what everyone watching must have been thinking – "Oh, my God." I remember my heart dropping to my stomach. I remember looking at Paul, and saying, "That was NO accident." I remember thinking that I had just witnessed the death of all of the people on that plane, as well as all of the people in the building who were in the path of the plane's impact.
And then I remember the overwhelming fear. It just washed over me as I sat there with the people that I loved more than life itself – the world had just changed, and suddenly they were in danger. I remember the tears welling up in my eyes, because in their innocence my children didn't yet understand the meaning of what had just happened. I remember thinking that I was going to have to be very, very strong for them so that they would never know how scared their mother was for them and for the country.
Because I remember thinking at that moment that there was a threat out there and we didn't know what it was, where it was coming from, or what it was going to mean to our country. All I knew was that no matter what, I would fight to the death to keep my loved ones safe.
I remember looking down into the face of my innocent baby and feeling much closer to my maternal grandmother at that moment. I remember thinking that 60 years earlier she had been the mother of a 3-year-old girl (my mother) and an infant daughter, and I wondered if she had felt that same fear for her children when she first heard about Pearl Harbor. I remember wondering if she had felt the same need to be strong for those she loved, and I wondered if she had felt the same fear for their futures that I was feeling at that moment.
Paul took the girls to school and went to work. He didn't really have a choice – Lockheed was immediately put on high alert, as not only was that the facility where F-16's are assembled, but they also share a runway with the Naval Joint Reserve Base – and we both figured that the best thing for the girls was for life to continue as normally as possible for them. I knew that it wouldn't be good for them to see their mom worrying at home – and they wanted the comforting continuity of being with their friends. I remember thinking that I was bound and determined that the animals who were responsible for this were not going to steal the innocent happiness and security of my childrens' childhood from them.
Not long after everyone had left the house, news cameras showed pictures of smoke where a third plane had hit the Pentagon, and cameras kept showing pictures of the White House. For the first time in my memory, all airspace over the United States was closed, and all flights were ordered to land at the nearest airport, no matter where their final destination might have been that day. Then came reports of a 4th plane still in the air that wasn't responding to air traffic control. If there had been any remaining doubt in anyone's mind, this confirmed that our country was under attack. And I remember wondering how many places had been targeted in our country that day.
Before they left for school, I remember the girls asking if the buildings were going to fall down. Having studied just enough engineering in college, I knew how well buildings – especially skyscrapers – are designed, and that all sorts of contingencies and factors of safety are built into their design. I even remembered that during World War II a plane had hit the Empire State Building, and all skyscrapers since then had been designed with the very remote possibility of that happening again in mind. So I was pretty confident when I told them that while the buildings might not be usable again, they should remain standing.
I remember calling my parents' house; my mom wasn't there, so I talked to my dad. He hadn't turned on the TV yet that morning, so I started telling him what was going on. While relating what had happened – and still watching the news coverage of the aftermath of the unthinkable – I remember seeing a tiny flicker on the right side of one of the buildings.
I remember watching in horror as yet another unthinkable thing happened. I remember screaming into the phone in disbelief as one of the towers fell down upon itself in a cloud of dust, and my father – who still hadn't turned on his TV, and was trying to understand what I was telling him – asking me if this was a joke; and if so, it wasn't very funny. I remember telling him that in my wildest imagination, I could NEVER have come up with something like what was happening in real time, and he needed to turn on his TV right then, because I had to get off of the phone. I couldn't tell him that I was ready to lose it big time, and I didn't want my Daddy to hear his little girl in that kind of a panic.
I remember trying to call Paul at work, only to find that all of the phone lines were busy. So I tried his cell phone, but he didn't answer. Then I tried his pager – again, no answer. I started thinking the worst; I didn't realize at the time that he had accidentally left both of them at home that day.
I heard that a friend's husband had boarded a plane that morning on his way home from a business trip overseas . At the time, the news stations were still trying to figure out which planes were involved and where they originated – my friend was frantically trying to get information about his whereabouts, and all of the computers and phones were overloaded or blocked where she worked. I couldn't do anything for the people on the East Coast, but I remember thinking that I could stay by the TV and computer at home, trying to get that information to her as soon as it became available. I remember leaving a message for her; I don't know if she had already gotten the information, but it made me feel like I had done SOMETHING to help somebody that day.
I remember thinking that another friend, who had tragically and unexpectedly lost her oldest son just a few months earlier in an car accident, understood better than most the magnitude of the grief that so many parents were experiencing that day. No matter what other personal relationships they may have had, every last one of the people who perished that day was somebody's child. I remember thinking that an awful lot of people lost their children that day.
I remember thinking about all of the husbands and wives who would be going to bed alone that night and every night after that.
I remember thinking about all of the children whose mommies and daddies would never come home again.
And I remember how very grateful I was that I still had all of my loved ones with me.
The whole day was surreal – I remember feeling like everyone was walking around in a daze, because the shock and grief was so very overwhelming. I couldn't even begin to imagine what it must have been like in places closer to New York, Washington D.C., and that lonely field in Pennsylvania.
We went to church that night to mourn. We watched as our President addressed the nation. We lit candles for those whose lives were lost. We prayed for strength – for the families who had lost so much; for the people in the cities most impacted; for the people of our nation; and for a President who was suddenly tasked with the protection of the American people and the safety of the entire country at a time of dire national crisis.
That day, the flags started coming out. Not having one of our own, Paul decided to buy one after work, but there wasn't a flag to be had anywhere (and there wouldn't be for many weeks to come).
I began to understand how people must have felt in 1941 when they heard about Pearl Harbor, and I knew that whoever had done this might not realize it yet, but they had made a terrible, terrible mistake.
For I finally understood what that line – "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve" – really and truly meant. Americans were grieving that day, but we were not beaten – a reckoning would be forthcoming.

I was feeding my 3 month old son his bottle… The horror and shock. Stayed glued to the TV almost all day. Praying. Such profound sadness.

Accueil / Big G's Pizza
Big G's Pizza
For Ghandi Mohrez, a new life in Canada has taken a few twists and turns. But the mechanical engineer from Syria who immigrated to Nova Scotia in 2000 with his wife Dima Khalil is happy to be running his own restaurant in Guysborough, and to call that community "home."
He's in no doubt that they owe their success, in part, to the Community Business Development Corporation (CBDC).
Unlike the banks he had approached for a loan to help renovate his restaurant – Big G's Pizza – Mohrez says, "CBDC looked at me as a value to the community."
"They looked at me as a job provider, and as a person who can accept the challenges proudly and succeed. They looked at my history, instead of looking at my numbers. In other words, probably they believed in me. And that means a lot to us."
Mohrez had realized soon after immigrating it would be difficult to land a job quickly in his area of expertise, given accreditation and language issues. So he ended up working in a pizza restaurant in Halifax for the first couple of years, developing both his language and business skills. When a family member offered him a job at the former Guysborough Pizza, which he owned, Mohrez and Khalil moved to the town in 2002 and he began employment there. When the owner offered to sell him the restaurant business and property, he welcomed the chance.
"I took it over, and the opportunity to be a business owner, and we started from there," he recalls.
They changed the name to Big G's and expanded the menu to include a variety of seafood and Mediterranean disches, which proved popular with customers.
As newcomers running a business in a rural community, there were challenges. "But we made it through that."
Five years ago, they decided that if they were to be really successful, however, they would need to renovate. As with many rural businesses, the bulk of Big G's income is earned in the summer months. In particular, the couple was keen to improve the exterior of the restaurant, which is on Main Street, to make it more appealing to tourists and other passers-by.
However, although he held a mortgage on the property, the banks were not keen to extend a further loan.
Mohrez found out about the Guysborough branch of CBDC through their customers. CBDC Guysborough took over their small mortgage on the property, and provided an additional loan. While Mohrez is reluctant to discuss specific amounts, he says it was sufficient to allow them to make exterior and interior renovations, repair damages and make some equipment purchases.
Last year, CBDC provided a loan for Khalil to purchase the property next door to the restaurant. The original intention was to extend the restaurant premises to allow her to develop another revenue stream – retail and wholesale Mediterranean desserts and sauces under the Big G's brand name, incorporating prized family recipes.
But after renovating the property, the couple decided she should take advantage of an opportunity to rent the space to Canada Post, whom they deemed would be a reliable, long-term customer.
So now they are looking to renovate their dining space and kitchen within Big G's itself to accommodate the dessert and sauce business.
"I would like to see it on the shelves in all of the grocery stores in Nova Scotia," says Mohrez. However, they will take that "step by step," he adds.
Mohrez sees the family being there for at least another 15 years. "Or more. Our dream has no limitation, to be honest with you."
Big G's employs three people full time, year-round, not including Mohrez, and six during the busy summer season.
The restaurant owner notes that they were "honoured" to be a past winner of the Seven Wonders of Guysborough County.
"For us, Guysborough County is our home. Especially with the two kids who were born in Guysborough. And at CBDC, probably they can see that. Banks cannot. That's why we believe in them, and hopefully they believe in us. They gave us the energy to stay for many, and many more years," says Mohrez.

Are there grants and fellowships for PhD students past the first year, but before candidacy?
Effectively as per the questions title, are there grants and fellowships for PhD students past the first year, but before candidacy? From what I have seen, most are intended for first year students (i.e. those with no more than twelve months of study), after candidacy has been achieved, or are finishing fellowships for the last semester of work. For example, the Hertz Foundation says the following:
We generally do not award fellowships to students who are already beyond their first year of graduate study except in cases of "exceptional leverage". Such awards are very rare—only three have been made in the past 10 years. (Leverage here means what difference the award of the Hertz Fellowship is likely to make in the kind, quality, and/or personal creativity of the student's graduate research.)
Which seems to be a fairly common theme. As such, I'm looking for answers in two parts:
Are there open grants and fellowships for PhD students past the first year, but before candidacy?
Are there field specific ones (computational social science or computational science & engineering) that may apply?

I think this may depend on the field of study.
@tilper Quite likely, I'm biased towards general questions since other may have the same problem though. I've updated it with some field specific information though.
Yes. Several of the fellowship and scholarship mentioned in a previous question (Options other than the NSF for PhD level grants?) are open to non-first year graduate students.
For example, The EPA STAR Graduate Fellowship, The Ford Foundation through the National Academies, NSA Fellowships, Google Research, and The Data Incubator all allow people to apply past the first year.
The NSA, Google Research, and Data Incubators Fellowships all target computer science. "The Ford Foundation seeks to increase the diversity of the nation's college and university faculties by increasing their ethnic and racial diversity, maximize the educational benefits of diversity, and increase the number of professors who can and will use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students." The EPA Fellowships target environmental science, which could include computational science applied to studying the environment.
Edit note November 2019: The EPA no longer offers their fellowship program.

The Data Incubator appears to be for people that have their PhD and want to enter industry. I don't see anything about PhD student support.
They have a Fellowship Program, albeit it only covers attending their training camp.
– Richard Erickson
Yup, that's what I'm referring to. It's not exactly something you could use to find a PhD.
One example is the National Physical Science Consortium, emphasis mine:
NPSC welcomes applications from any qualified U.S. citizen who has the ability to pursue graduate work at an NPSC member institution. Applicants at any stage of their graduate program may apply, as long as they will be available to accept two summers of paid internship. Those who already possess a doctoral degree are ineligible.
@anonymous, if you read the link, or what I wrote in the answer, you will see that students may apply to GRFP "prior to completing the first term or quarter of the second year of your full-time graduate program." Please consider removing your downvote since GRFP, allowing students to apply in their second year, clearly meets your criterion of being open to students "past the first year."
@anonymous, ok, now that you have changed your criteria I will update my answer.
No worries, I'd never heard of the NPSC so that helps, it really does seem like there's not much out there for those in the middle years though.

Yiddish Glory is an extraordinary program based on songs collected by Moisei Beregovsky, a Soviet ethnomusicologist, toward creating a record of what life was like for Jews across eastern Europe from 1943 to 1947. They feature perspectives from Red Army soldiers and the Jewish families who awaited their return from war. U of T professor Anna Shternshis came across the aging paper documents of these songs in the Ukraine National Library. The raw emotional ballads convey despair, hope, humour, bravery, resistance and revenge.


Elizabeth Damewood Gaucher is a writer living with her husband and young daughter in Virginia.
Growing up in Charleston, West Virginia, meant town and country storytelling all of the time. Her mother's father was one of ten children, born to a coal miner in the New River Gorge. Her father's mother mowed the grass in high heels on Virginia Street in Charleston into her nineties, having been a young adult cutting more than few rugs in the Roaring Twenties. It was, as they say, always on.
Gaucher's essay, "Farm Dogs," received a Judge's Choice award in 2014 from Silas House's literary journal, Still. Her published work appears in books by Westminster John Knox Press, Seventh Star Press, and Visibility Press; and various online essays and op-eds appear on River Teeth, The Revivalist: Word from the Appalachian South, Essays on Childhood, Esse Diem, Haven, and The Charleston Gazette.

The radiation used in medical imaging is a valuable tool to screen for, diagnose and treat numerous medical conditions. As new technologies increase the use of radiation, there is increased attention to avoid over exposure and any associated risks.
If your doctor has ordered medical imaging, you may have a few questions. You may wonder what radiation is, what are the risks and what safety measures are taken. We hope this page will answer your questions.
What is a safe level of radiation exposure?
What medical procedures use radiation?
How much radiation do we get from medical/dental imaging?
What is the risk with radiation imaging exposure?
How do health-care facilitites protect patients from over exposure?
Radiation – something that cannot be seen or felt – is a naturally occurring part of our environment. It is a form of energy that is transmitted as particles or electromagnetic waves. Shortly after the discovery of radiation and its use in creating images of the interior of objects, an American medical student discovered that significantly higher levels of radiation could be used to destroy cancer.
Most of our exposure to radiation comes from natural resources (the earth, the universe, air, food, water, radon, etc.). This is called "background" radiation. The remaining exposure to radiation comes from medical procedures, consumer products (such as tobacco, fertilizer, welding rods, smoke detectors, computer monitors, luminous watch dials, etc.), air travel, power plants and industry, and possibly a person's work environment.
Radiation is measured in units called rems and millirems. A millirem is 1/1000th of a rem. The average annual dose per person from background radiation is about 310 millirems. Radiation from medical procedures accounts for approximately 300 additional millirems per person annually. During the last three decades, this type of exposure has increased, primarily because of new, more advanced medical imaging. Nevertheless, the total annual exposure from all sources remains far less than the 5000 millirems set by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission as the safe limit for people who work with or around radioactive material.
Numerous diagnostic tests and treatment therapies use radiation. For many diseases, these tests and therapieshave reduced the need for surgery and dramatically increased life expectancy.
Diagnostic tests that use radiation include: radiography (X-rays), fluoroscopy, nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), intraoperative imaging and mammography. Radiation therapies that are used to treat various forms of cancer include procedures such as brachytherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
MRI and ultrasound imaging do not use radiation.
What Is the Risk Associated With Radiation Imaging Exposure?
Our bodies usually are able to rapidly repair the damage to our cells from the small amount of background radiation we receive each day. Because there are so many variables, it is difficult to specifically calculate the potential risk from exposure to other sources of radiation, including medical imaging. Your personal risk will depend on your age, where you live and work, your lifestyle, and the type and number of diagnostic imaging procedures you have had in your lifetime.
There is a small increased risk of developing cancer later in life that is associated with higher doses of radiation used in some types of medical imaging or with accumulated radiation. It is important to remember, however, that your doctor is charged with carefully weighing the risks and benefits before determining a procedure is medically necessary. Usually the benefits of early detection far outweigh any increased risk.
How Do Health-Care Facilities Protect Patients From Over Exposure?
Professional organizations, hospitals, and medical and dental offices have developed detailed clinical guidelines that describe the recommended dose for each medical imaging procedure. State and Federal regulations have set standards for equipment calibration and monitoring. Faster-speed film for dental X-rays, as well as the advent of digital imaging, has helped lower the radiation dose for some procedures. The overarching guideline is to administer the optimal dose – not too much and not too little – to produce a highquality image. The goal is always to give each patient the right imaging exam, at the right time, with the right radiation dose.
Medical imaging is an extraordinary health-care tool that is extremely beneficial. You can help ensure your safety by remembering to be SMART about medical imaging.

Home Special Features Guest Commentary 9 Obamacare Predictions That Have Come True
9 Obamacare Predictions That Have Come True
Heritage.org
Photo: Pete Souza
It directly affects the personal life of every American, and it controls or regulates a complex sector of the American economy that is slightly larger than the entire economy of France.
If you guessed Obamacare, you've been paying attention for the past four years.
Four years ago, many health policy analysts, including those at The Heritage Foundation, predicted some of the effects this law would have on Americans. These are all coming true. Here are nine of our predictions that have come to pass—and it's not over yet.
1. The individual mandate is an enforcement nightmare.
As a candidate, President Obama worried that an individual mandate to buy insurance would be unenforceable. He changed his mind once he became president. This year—the first year that the mandate penalties are to be imposed—he has already started backtracking on the enforcement of the provision he signed into law.
2. The law will create new disincentives to work.
Between Obamacare's higher taxes and its subsidies that drop off if you raise your income, there's not a lot of incentive here to work harder and better your situation.
3. The law, particularly the employer mandate, will impose new costs on businesses that undercut jobs and wages.
The employer mandate has been delayed until 2015, but the uncertainty Obamacare has created—and its 18 new tax hikes—have put a huge dent in job creation.
4. The law undermines competition and further consolidates health insurance markets.
Heritage Foundation analysis of federal and state exchanges shows that the law has, in general, reduced competition and consolidated health insurance markets. Between 2013 and 2014, the number of insurers offering coverage on the individual markets in all 50 states has declined nationwide by 29 percent.
5. The law guarantees major premium increases.
As Heritage predicted, the average annual premiums for single and family coverage in 2014 are rising in the state and federal health insurance exchanges all around the country. In 11 states, premiums for 27-year-olds have more than doubled since 2013; in 13 states, premiums for 50-year-olds have increased more than 50 percent.
>>> Get more details on all of these Obamacare effects
6. The law discourages insurance enrollment among the young.
The law's insurance rules and new benefit mandates will make it cheaper for many younger Americans simply to remain uninsured and pay the penalty fine. It's not surprising that young people have been staying away.
7. The law's Medicare savings would not financially strengthen Medicare.
The law's proponents originally promised that "savings" from Medicare changes would be spent simultaneously in two places: helping Medicare and expanding Obamacare. But money can be spent only once, so that didn't work.
8. The law's Medicare changes will result in reduced benefits and threaten seniors' access to care.
The law's impact is fairly straightforward: Fewer Medicare providers, reimbursed at rates progressively reduced over time, will create access problems for patients. Medicare cuts have been underway for several years now.
9. The law compels taxpayers to fund abortion and weakens protections of the right of conscience.
Obamacare mandates health plans that include coverage of abortion. It also spawned the Health and Human Services regulatory mandate that forces American employers to provide coverage for abortion-inducing drugs. It is safe to say that four years ago, millions of Americans did not expect that the national health care law would become a vehicle for an aggressive government infringement of personal liberty or coerce Americans to fund medical procedures and drugs in direct violation of their ethical and religious convictions.
Is it any wonder public opinion is against this debacle? It's unfair, unworkable, and unaffordable. We need real health reform that puts patients back at the center and increases choice for Americans.

Wiretaps, informant, raids help bring down suspected oxycodone ring operating in Portland metro area
Updated: Jan. 10, 2019, 12:45 p.m. | Published: Apr. 15, 2012, 1:00 a.m.
By Bryan Denson | The Oregonian/OregonLive
View full sizeDEASamples of OxyContin, one of the drugs produced with oxycodone.
On a rainy Friday morning in January 2011, Olubenga Badamosi suddenly grew wary behind the wheel of his Bentley. He phoned his roommate, David G. Hollins II, to report that he was being tailed.
Badamosi told his roomie to move bundles of cash and a stash of oxycodone pills out of their Milwaukie rental home to a safe house, according to federal court papers.
That night, Badamosi texted Hollins: "Everything good?"
"yea," Hollins responded," it's coo. ... I put the stuff in my moms little safe."
Badamosi texted, "K."
But things were far from OK. For months, a team of Portland cops and federal agents had kept tabs on Badamosi, a fugitive wanted in California and Colorado for suspected drug dealing. Investigators had tapped his phones and tailed him all over metropolitan Portland, identifying him as the alleged leader of a major drug distribution network.
Last fall, federal prosecutors in Oregon indicted
Badamosi and 17 associates in a conspiracy to sell tens of thousands of oxycodone pills, accusing them of laundering $1.7 million in revenue. They were a highly mobile gang, spending more than $100,000 on at least 650 flights in and out of Portland, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Miami, Boston and other cities, the government alleges.

Taking the group off the street -- in an investigation dubbed "Trick or Treat" -- put an immediate dent in local oxycodone sales, said Portland police Sgt. Pete Simpson. "But it would not be surprising to find that new people had filled the void," he said.
Court records in the case offer a window into the workaday world of suspected black market oxy peddlers. Oxycodone, the main ingredient in such brand-name painkillers as OxyContin, Percocet and Roxicodone, is so popular -- and addictive -- that recreational drug users are willing to pay up to $80 for one 80 milligram pill, according to the
Drug Enforcement Administration.
About 90 people in Oregon die each year from overdoses on prescription painkillers, with 100 additional deaths annually attributed to methadone, a similar opioid that treats pain and combats heroin addiction, according to the state medical examiner's office.
View full sizeMCSODavid George Hollins II
Prosecutors allege that players in the oxy ring laundered money in conventional ways, such as setting up bank accounts through third parties. For example, records show, Badamosi's key distributor, Kingsley Osemwengie, is accused of helping set up a Wells Fargo account under the name "High Profit Investments."
The Badamosi ring apparently did not invest profits in mortgages. While it was common six years ago for drug dealers to buy houses to launder money (sometimes using them to set up indoor marijuana grows), the housing market crash made the practice less common, said Chris Gibson, director of the federal program that targets drugs in Oregon's high-intensity drug trafficking areas.
The oxy ring found other ways to hide drug profits, the government alleges. Investigators learned they had bought jewelry -- later valued at nearly $200,000 -- and expensive cars. Police tailed Badamosi and his minions in Bentleys, Mercedes-Benzes, a Dodge Challenger, a Cadillac Escalade and a purple 2006 BMW.
Informant involved
Police in Inglewood, Calif., appear to be the first to suspect Badamosi, 33, of selling oxycodone. They arrested him in January 2007 with 750 pills and $5,841 in cash, but he fled before he could be tried, according to court records.
View full sizeMCSOHeather O'Rourke
In December 2009, members of a DEA task force caught up with Badamosi in a Denver hotel room, where they seized 589 oxy pills and $7,053 in cash. But Badamosi again fled, and authorities issued a new arrest warrant, records show.
Badamosi later surfaced in the Portland suburbs, renting a four-bedroom house in Milwaukie.
In March 2010, Portland police persuaded a man with a long rap sheet to cooperate in a drug investigation involving Heather O'Rourke, one of Badamosi's co-conspirators, records show.
That July, the informant told investigators that O'Rourke, now 21, was selling 80 mg oxy and that he had seen bags of pills and $48,000 in cash in her purse, according to a search warrant affidavit. The informant also told police O'Rourke had once been a prostitute and that she introduced him to one of her former clients -- a man with a Nigerian accent named Rashaad. Investigators later identified him as Badamosi.
Wiretaps, raids
Investigators tapped five cell phones: O'Rourke's, three used by Badamosi and another used by Shaun W. "Mack" Tyler, a Las Vegas man accused of being one of Badamosi's oxy suppliers.
They listened to suspects coordinate sales on cell phones and text each other. They also dug through bank and airline records; intercepted a FedEx package (a doll stuffed with oxy pills); seized 3,000 pills out of a suspect's luggage at PDX; and tailed Badamosi and his associates to various homes in the Portland area, the airport and a downtown strip joint called Club Rouge, according to court records.
Investigators would learn that O'Rourke and Badamosi had a falling out and that she had set up a marijuana garden inside a house in Northeast Portland. While she was a registered grower under Oregon's medical marijuana program, investigators alleged in court papers that she appeared to be selling it in violation of the law, though she was not charged with the offense.
In late March 2011, investigators in Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Texas and Florida served search warrants on accused suspects in the oxy-sales conspiracy, including Badamosi's alleged suppliers -- Tyler and Marcus C. Albert, both in Las Vegas -- and three other men described as key distributors: Hollins, Osemwengie and Hung Van Pham.
They accused Mei Lynn Pham, also known as Deanna Smith, of serving as a courier of drugs and cash. At least eight others, including O'Rourke, also were arrested on allegations that they distributed oxycodone.
Investigators seized handguns, drugs, nearly $50,000 in cash, cell phones, computers and a 60-inch TV during searches of homes in the Portland area. They took from Badamosi a star-shaped medallion with black and white diamonds; a stainless steel diamond pendant; and two Breitling Aero Marine Super Avenger watches, one of which was adorned with a mother of pearl dial and 1,033 diamonds, records show.
Badamosi, Hollins and O'Rourke pleaded guilty earlier this year to conspiring to distribute oxycodone and launder money. The charges carry punishment of up to 20 years in prison and hefty fines -- $1 million for distributing the drug.
Prosecutors expect others to plead guilty this year.

What would you recommend for someone who thinks this stuff is really cool but isn't quite ready to plunk down $1k for a X-Carve?
Daniel, I'm not the author, but as an avid maker with several CNC routers I can give you USA specific advice. See if there is a maker space local to you that has one, look up woodworking businesses like Rockler, they often have CNC workshops and clubs. After that, it's normally a longshot but see if your local high schools have public hours in their wood shops, more and more of them are getting CNC equipment and in places where you pay high school taxes, there is sometimes public availability of school resources. Lastly, and this might be too expensive, but if you are in the US, see if your state/county has a BOCES organization, in my county that is the best place to find CNC courses for a reasonable price that will give you access and training on some serious equipment.
A better reply than I could have written.

The meaning of events exists only in our mind. Outside of our mind, the events have no meaning at all.
Our emotional response to events comes from the meaning we give them and the way we FEEL about that meaning. So, given the fact that our emotions are based on our reaction to the meaning of an event and we create the meaning of the event, then we control our emotions.
Peace doesn't come when we have peace around us, but when we have peace within us.
See, we give events meaning in our minds. Our emotional response to events is based on the meaning they have. So when we have peace within, it doesn't matter what happens outside of us, we will have peace. Peace is independent of what is happening around us.
Let's look at how one may react to a particular situation given our internal state.
Saturday morning, you open up your weather app and you see that it's supposed to be 95 degrees with nothing but sunshine. How do you react to that?
If you were planning on going to the beach and spending some time in the water with your family, that's a fantastic event. This means the water is going to feel great and the sun will help us get a tan.
If you were planning on pulling out some old tree stumps in the yard, that's a horrible forecast. It's going to be hot and the sun is provably going to burn you.
The event is the exact same thing… a weather forecast. The meaning of the event is determined internally.
If you just planted some grass seed and it starts raining, you react with happiness. This will help.
If your lawn needs to be mowed and it starts raining, you react disappointed, as you won't be able to cut it until tomorrow.
There's a verse in the the book of Matthew that says the rain falls on those who are good and those who are bad. The rain has no meaning. One sees the rain as good and the other bad. Tomorrow it could be reversed. The rain has no meaning.
Here's a Personal Example – My View of Myself as Not Good Enough.
I'm in my late 40's and my entire life, I've had a limiting belief that I was inferior to others. I wasn't as good as my brothers and pretty much anyone else who I worked or lived life with.
I've shared this with you before, I'm the youngest in my family and honestly, I don't have a lot of memories of my parents telling me I wasn't good enough, but I do have a LOT of memories of that being associated with my older brothers. They're about a year apart in age. This means, they did a lot of things at the same time. Tying shoes, riding a bike, hitting a baseball and learning to throw a football.
I was 4 and 5 years younger than them which isn't a big deal at age 47, or even 27, but when you're 7 and they're 11 and 12, that's a lifetime of difference, almost literally twice my age. They had learned twice as much as I had and they were at least twice as good as I was.
Because kids that age were able to go further from the house, our street would often have teenagers playing football or baseball with kids from several streets over. There never were that many kids on my street that were my age. So I was trying to fit in and play with kids who ere almost twice my age.
You can imagine how this made me feel. The one thing everyone valued, throwing or catching a football, or throwing, hitting and catching a baseball, I sucked at. This made me feel like I wasn't good enough.
But I wasn't bad at everything, only the thing that this group was really good at, sports. As I got older, even in middle school, I never wanted to play team sports. I always opted to run laps around the baseball field instead of actually playing baseball. In high school, I didn't try out for football or baseball, but instead, I joined the track team where I could compete on my own. I was good at running.
Focus? I was the "King of Imagination.: I could take my GI Joe Command RV center and play for hours on end in my room. I remember having a rock fireplace and I would take my little army men and have them mount massive battles that would last two or three hours. Focus? That means turning off my imagination.
I Gave Meaning to That Event.
There was no meaning in those footballs games other than the meaning I gave them in my own mind. Because I wanted to fit in with my older brothers and their friends, the meaning of the football game was HUGE. It determined whether I was good enough or not.
This is why it's SO important to invest in offering your kids activities in which they can do well. Have a boy who loves to dance? Don't take him to try out for baseball, even if you played it and you can't wait to coach the team. He's going to grow up feeling like he's not good enough, in general.
Have a little girl who loves to build stuff in the garage? Mom, you need to take her to Home Depot for those fun weekend DIY workshops, even though you really wanted to help choreograph the dance recital because you loved to dance.
To this day, I have moments when I struggle and am influenced by my inability to do the things my siblings and peers are capable of doing.
I will say, I've become a LOT stronger than ever and I understand my gifting and where my talents lay. I know my gift is in communications and entertainment, not in piecing together the electronics needed to put on the show or course or whatever.
I've become so confident in my own ability in my own areas of expertise that I'm no longer intimidated by the pressures put on my by others. So much so, I was recently told I was being riightously indignant because I wouldn't allow someone else to tell me I wasn't as good of a person because I wasn't talented in the same areas they were talented. It hurt, but I know why it was said. I'm ok with it. But, I'm not going to leave the door wide open to it.
Understand, you may have a very narrow area of talent, but that talent is important if you make it important. Surround yourself with people who don't value it, and you'll feel like you're a worthless excuse for a life.
When you shift over to a group who value your very narrow and specialized gift and you'll suddenly feel like the world couldn't go on without you.
So, understand your place and don't let others values determine your value. Remember, the events in your life have no meaning other than the meaning YOU put on them.

High in Cholesterol
Whether or not you like the comic this week, the real treat is that Ray finally decided to make a video showing off how he makes the comic! Trust me, that's the real treat this week. Watch it in HD here. You probably noticed a few graphical changes around these parts and there are a few more to come later in the week, so I hope you enjoy! Now, it's time for some breakfast, and I have a strange urge to eat scrambled eggs…
I hope that everyone enjoys the new changes that we are bringing to the site's overall design, such as the new logo (did anyone notice it?). There are still a few more things in store that I have already got completed, but Tim just hasn't had a chance to update yet. Surprise, surprise…
Keep in mind that when Ray says I haven't updated them yet, he means he thinks he emailed me the images but never did. No one is more committed to 2P START! than me, your humble servant. When you all elected me President of the United Gamers in a landslide last November, it was because of the inaction on the part of the Raypublican party, the kind of inaction we are seeing this very day. But fear not my fellow Timocrats, further site updates will appear just as soon as the Raypublican minority stops filibustering.
steve-ohs says:
Hahaha, that video is awesome!!! The whole thing was great!!!
The comic is pretty good too! Poor little Ghost Eggs, who knew Pacman was real villian this whole time.
Ah, it finally explains why the Ghosts are so pissed at Pacman.
Snifit says:
Whoa. That is a treat!
Pretty funny comic but the video is quite nice.
Really cool guys.
And after watching the video, this is made all the sweeter. Consider yourselves redeemed. (at least in my eyes.)
Doopliss says:
To be honest. Not very good. I was almost first post but I couldn't see the text box because of the background! But anyway, a bit short, and after all that talk about making the comics better, I really expected something really good, but this was a bit of a disappointment. I like the new format though, where you can choose the comic or podcast at the homepage, and since Ray did this alone, I thought it was pretty good since Tim didn't help. I liked the video as well.
MetaRidleyR27 says:
Great Comic Guys! Now I feel sorry for those poor Ghosts. And the video was a really cool touch! Keep up the awesome work guys!
Oh, and just a suggestion to Ray; perhaps the "Check for Humor" should have been used on the last couple comics.
Ryman says:
Well….since Ray obviously copied off of VG cats this week, I'm going to have to make a real comic for you guys….
…MWHAHAHAHAHAAHAH…
Yes, I'm good with photoshop.
TomX says:
It's like some kind of sick and twisted caviar
Awesome comic, and great video. I like how the site is changing, btw. I like the links to the comic and podcast. Really speeds up loading.
ultimateDK says:
That's exactly what I was thinking. But the sad faces inside the eggs makes the joke 10x more precious.
btw, the second panel sounds like it's from a commercial (like "got milk?")…is this true?
BulimicKoala says:
PacMan is a monster! At least he isn't giving head to an old man.
Dominator_101 says:
Man! With this new layout, it takes so long to get to the comic! I mean, I have to click an extra link, and can't just scroll down! Man… The layout used to be good… I was actually confused for a second until I noticed the headings on top of the boxes.
Pretty good comic! Not your best, but I liked it. I see you haven't gotten around to 2P-Start!ing the logo from VGCats yet.
Oh, and maybe you should try starting from the corners in Minesweeper. That's usually what I do.
And if the normal dots are their eggs (or something like that), then what are the power pellets?
Great comic/video guys. That first panel makes a lot more sense after you see the last panel 😀
How'd you make the video Ray? Screen Capture? iMovie?
Their almost born eggs, which is why they become sad after you eat them – if pacman hadn't eaten them, they would be new children!
Meh. Not much else to say about this comic.
I thought the comic was really bland, but the video made up for it!
It's good to know you guys are able to make fun of yourselves. (Though I guess we already knew that.)
The new layout is pretty good, by the way, but it doesn't really match the rest of the site. The boxes are way too colorful for such a gray background.
Metal_Link says:
Ah, good idea. I always thought the podcast should get a bigger spotlight on the website. It's good to see it side-by-side with the comic now, they really complement each other.
Meh. Not much else to say about this comic. Typical Pac-Man joke (whether Ray really did rip off VGCats or not).
Without looking at the above posts…
Wow, this gives new meaning to the game of Pac-Man. Unlike the cartoony and lighthearted sequels, this completely turns the character-roles on it's head. The ghosts don't just want want to kill Pac-Man because they're evil, it's for the sake of self-preservation.
Man, this is deep. I think you've just ruined Pac-Man for me forever. Anytime I try to play it now, I'll be faced with the existential quandary of the hunter-prey relationship. (Where do the Super Pellets fit in?)
Sterling1213 says:
Hey guys, I loved the video and the comic was pretty good. I couldn't stop laughing at the sad pink ghost!!! I hope you do a video for every comic.
Sweet looking program, good situation for the song… as for the comic, don't really get the link between cholesterol and ghost… or maybe it's the soul of some dead high cholesterol victims, and the shiny pale yellow stuff around them making the pellets is a grease crust made of bad cholesterol, constant reminder of their death?
verdict.. ehhh not a classic for sure but, you were all by yourself after all, you get more points for that factor
Lilguitarist says:
I didn't understand the comic on my first read.
Then I read it again…I was horrified!
All I could do was laugh nervously! You men are sick sick puppies!
But hey, what's more funny then eating fertilised eggs, aye?
Good effort guys, seriously made me laugh and the video was hilarious.
Keep it up, and don't let any amount of pregnent wives or unborn babies get in your way!!
Eggs are supposedly high in cholesterol.
The comic was actually pretty enjoyable.
But on to the actual reason I'm commenting. Never, ever, EVER again talk about the demise of the site. It's actually one of the few I visit daily, even if the comic updates once a week. The podcast is also hilarious. Let's be honest, the comic is awesome. Not many comics have endearing fans that will actually come out and say you've done a bad job and offer helpful critique with you accepting it (See CAD Miscarriage Syndrome). It's something special and to let that die is a crime that not even Sonic Team would commit.
PS: Tim, you're a jerk.
Zoltan says:
Wow, when I first saw the front page I thought I was looking at another bad comic, thinking "I don't get it". But then I realized they were both links. I must say, that the comic by itself would have been a pretty sweet treat but the video just put it over the top. This more then makes up for last week and shows how 2p start never lets its fans down… that is… until Tim gets his baby, then we're all probably screwed.
Gadoink says:
So THAT'S why those ghosts are chasing him all the time! That explains a lot.
Does this mean that Pac-Man is murderous?
Also explains why when he gets the Super dot, he goes after the big Ghosts, cause he won't settle for babies.
You should find more dark secrets about other games, too. First Pac-Man, then the world!
This one actually made me laugh for once. I wasn't too happy with the last ones, but this one is a nice return to the type of punchline we're used to. I love it, guys! Keep it up!
I don't notice any new logo.
FireSpark says:
"…We now return to your program of awesome-ness, already in progress."
The art work is great, the comic is funny, and with the addition of a little touch of "that's just wrong" (which I love, personally), this may go down as one of the best to date.
But the video? Pure gold. But now I have a burning question that I must have the answer to.
What is Ray's Secret Touch?
Oh, and the video is AWESOME.
That's certainly a bonus.
This is just like that one episode of Futurama:
Eating is Murder!
Popplers are Peoplers too!
Haven't watched the video (yet).
I would like to see one of those ghost eggs hatch, I just love raising the dead…
After watching the video and leaving a comment, I gotta say that I call shenanigans on your video, the only thing that it brings is more viewers for my videos, that are in the 'related videos' section. Like it or not, I probably am the third guy of 2P START! (laughs)
Egg salad anyone? That has even more Cholesterol!
Hit up comic 1 to see the difference. Subtle but long-awaited changes.
Wow. NVG. (If you can't figure that out, you're not a real fan anyway.
Ok, I just got to watch the video, and it was good, but I am kind of disappointed that it wasn't the actual making of the comic. Oh well.
CKcheeseboy says:
Um, I guess something's just wrong with me. Ever since the Sonic Facebook one, I've pretty much had the opposite of the majority opinion. I enjoyed the last two, but this one just didn't do it for me. I also wasn't a huge fan of the previous 3, but most people were all over them.
I enjoyed the video, though. And it's probably too obvious to be one of those things nobody notices, but nobody has pointed it out yet so I'll mention that I like how "Im Luhkee" is now following you on Twitter. But like somebody else said, lame background.
But I guess we know why you had the comic done by the podcast now.
And by that he means clear your cache and then try that.
Also, Tim, do you think the comment link showing the number of comments will be back soon? I liked that, because then I would know if there was a new comment without having to click through.
Ok, so if the regular dots are (ghost eggs?), then would the large dots be? I think that it's a Pac-egg, and that he eats the insides which makes him stronger. Pac-Man is a cannibal, I just know it.
Oh yeah, and i forgot to say that I like how the new homepage has a link to either the comic or the podcast, so i dont have to load that comic image before i can navigate the site
Oh, I thought it looked a little different, but I thought that even if it was there would still be something else comic related, like the Tim and Ray logos inside a pac-dot or something.
Can't wait till Black Doom archives. I promise i wont comment this many times at ones again.
There's more symbolism in this comic then you guys give it credit for…
You see, Ray made the idea and comic all by himself this week because he is both sad and jealous.
You see, he's jealous that Tim has a hot wife who's about to have a baby, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend currently.
And he's sad because 2pstart is going to die because of baby's existence…..
So this comic isn't really about Pacman eating Ghost eggs, it's really what Ray is going to do once the baby is born. (The blue ghost being Tim and the Pink being Sara.)
Nice comic. I'm not raving over it or anything though. And I have to say that I thought the video would just be a sped of version of you drawing the comic, I was VERY pleasantly surprised. Not sure if this is a compliment or an insult, but the video was funnier than the comic.
Wow, I'm WAY too bored today.
I just looked through the entire archives.
Heh, all the old comics still amuse me.
Hopefully one day we can do the same with the current comics, eh?
But like somebody else said, lame background.
I struggled with picking a background for the longest time, but decided on that one specifically because it wasn't really much of anything. I felt the emphasis needed to be on what I was doing, and having a possibly distracting image in the back was a bit troubling to me.
I know, I'm weird and picky.
I guess it's a bit different on Macs, since I always have things maximized on my PC so I don't usually see any of the background except when booting up. But maybe you should make it one of your own backgrounds, and then you can be motivated to work on the comic when you notice it. 😛
sheppy says:
And now the true hellish nature of Pac-Man is known. The unholy beast stalking the stygian depths where the ghosts reside, he feasts unpon their unborn….
The top of the page looks broken.
http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/7459/messedup.png
Got enough tabs open there?
Am I the only one who looks more at the taskbar/bookmarks toolbar/etc. when people post screenshots then the actual subject of the picture?
Also, you have a Windows Update.
Oh, Ray, guess what I found…!
http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/3899/69166286.jpg
Oh my god. That's the most epic thing ever. O_o How did you find it?
Awesome! I especially like the response right above Ray's letter…"WHAT DO MEAN?"
Next week on 2P Start, we'll be taking a look Mario's history of animal cruelty, and how Q*bert secretly started World War II.
You know, why do I feel like this is an excuse for you guys to tank. Or are you just lying to use in your podcast? You have less time, and yet you can do youtube videos. Then again this time you guys did say you've started early, so I'm happy for both of you.
And I look forward to a BETTER comic next week. Oh yes, I most definitely look forward to a better comic Mwahahahaha!.
zombieman 98 says:
OH…MY….GOD. PETA's gonna have a real problem with Pac Man now that you guys have pointed this out. also, i guess this means that ghosts are their own species and they aren't dead people. SO WHAT ARE DEAD PEOPLE!? JUST CORPSES!? IMPOSSIBLE!
Soylent Pellets are GHOSTS!!!!
Very nice. Not much else to say about the comic.
But as for the site design, I love it!!! Nice to see the podcast get a bit more attention since thats just as much of the site as the comic is. Also, the tabs at the top went from bubbly to futuristic, which is always cool.
One quick thing. You can't see how many comments the comic has. Dunno if that would screw up the design or anything, but I'd say that's the only flaw of it. Still a big fan.
Also, with the site update, how about a merchandise update?? Eh??
The Gastronomic Gamer says:
Eh. Not your best but not your worst. I didn't laugh, but I do like the phrase, "Sinfully delectable". And to make this constructive, I think that you should make more comics with tiny jokes rather than one punch line. Also, the next comic should be about Lace. You recently said that you had a good idea for her, but you need more characterization first. Hurry up and characterize before 2P Start! dies! (that rhymes)
D364000 says:
Wow nice change to the logo, though it would look nicer in my opinion if the buttons were the same size. Also I don't really understand the comic what are those things that PM is eating?
Aw. I was going to say that the new tabs aren't centered properly, but now they are since I logged in. Awesome new tab buttons, by the way. I wonder if they still look good on the iPhone browser… 🙂
("25 queries. 0.373 seconds" – Not bad time, I suppose. 😀 )
crazyjellyfish says:
Terrific comic and video. Great work. Keep it up. 🙂
Imbalance says:
Great comic and great video, too!
Use the word "delectable" more often.
As for the video, I laughed the entire time you were talking to Sonic, Ray. You'd think he'd have a more…uh, creative username, though.
Also, are those numbers in Pac-Man's wake?
TheOverlord#2 says:
Oh look, a grave riser!
This comic is so funny and the video is great("No more fooling around!") NCG + NVG guys! Plus, the new site looks look awesome as well. 😀
Oh, Ray, guess what I found…!http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/3899/69166286.jpg
Now that's what I call INTERNET LOOOOOOT!!
I knew Ray was a diluted Sonic fanboy (or a Narcisist…refer to the Ray and Dating Comic) but…….god…..must not curse……………darn….
He's taken it too far. He reads Sonic Comic books. I haven't even stooped that low with videogames yet. Quick! Someone throw a hot chick at Ray to cure this obsession and homose….can't go there….
/joke.
deannnnnnnn says:
great comic
and i love the youtube integration
i understand both of ur situations in life but please dont stop making comics. If you need time just go to every other week.
Again i love your guys comic, there is nothing else on the web like it.
Is it just me…or are there a bunch of shapes and letters in Pacman in the final panel?
Hey, you're not supposed to point out the subliminal visual elements!
There goes anyone else's chance at Comment of the Week 😛
I see 75+75+74=133
and a rectangle…
They're also in the last panel. Not sure if there are the same ones, but I saw a rectangle, and I think some 8s or something.
Oops, I read the original post wrong… I thought it said first…
Ray, was the base background for this comic the matrix or something. Jeeze, whats with the numbers and letters? Wherever there's a glow, you see it. I'm guessing that you just made it less opaque in those areas, which showed the matrix under it. Then again, considering the video, you ripped of VG Cats and used the 2P Converter (Where can I get one btw) VG Cats was the one with the Matrix Background! XD
That's actually from Issue 56.
Longtime reader. Looks like the letter was sent in at around Issue 49 or so.
I would hardly say the changes are anything that was ever really needed, I wouldn't even say it was changed just thouched up, or "STAR WARS SPECIAL EDITION"ed.
Hey ray (if you ever see this) Maby if Tim has his hands too full with his daughter you could maby take scripts from fans perhaps? I mean, we're talking a baby here, it is a big responsibility and not something Tim can just brush of, despite how big and loyal of a fan base 2p start has. I see many sleepless nights in the future where Tim won't even want to think about brainstorming a comic.
Correct. I'm not looking to fix what isn't broken. Just looking to polish it. These are changes I've been waiting to do, not necessarily anything you guys were begging us for…
I'm all ears. Just, please don't be disappointed if I don't use yours…. and especially don't take it personally….
*Opens mouth*

That will be the best episode ever! (9u9)
Are you sure you should be opening this can of worms Ray? Especially since you seemed pretty nervous about Tim asking the viewers for baby names =P.
Jason (AKA Shigamado) says:
Hey guys! I posted once before back in March but it didn't get into the podcast, so I'm re-rising from my grave again.
This comic was great! I never knew Pac-Man was such a vile villain, or why the Ghosts were so desperate to chase him. However, this leaves us with one unanswered question.
If the dots are Ghost eggs, what are the Power Pellets made from? Still borns? (Kind of a gross thought.)
The video was great, but don't you have it in reverse? Also, I believe this program is how Ctrl+Alt+Delete steals it's jokes from Penny Arcade.
Well looking at the 2P start logo, power pellets are actually Tim and Ray Eggs. Hence why you never see any mini tims and rays around.
Also I wanted to say I love the little tears in the eyes of the ghost in the egg.
Yeah, Its an open source program that you can tailor to your needs. I'm currently working on a mod that will make comics in my style. Too bad I'm having trouble with the logarithms dealing with the lines, Since I want the comic to appear hand-drawn instead of the digital means the program is made for. Maybe I should try its sister program, one that takes a comic and converts it into a sprite comic…
Are you sure you should be opening this can of worms Ray?
I can see it now…
Ray: "Welcome to episode 84 of "Infinity"-P Start Live!: Special Garbage Edition, he's D3vin, and he's roadjcat, and he's ultimateDK, and he's GXEchidna, and he's Gewurztraminer, and he's MetaRi…."
–1hr later–
All: "And he's Ray!"
Me: Sweet looking program, good situation for the song… as for the comic, don't really get the link between cholesterol and ghost… or maybe it's the soul of some dead high cholesterol victims, and the shiny pale yellow stuff around them making the pellets is a grease crust made of bad cholesterol, constant reminder of their death?
Lilguitarist: Eggs are supposedly high in cholesterol.
Now that I see those as eggs… it makes more sense…. and is quite strange, perticullary if you see the pink ghost as the really hurted mother while the blue one is the rageblind avanging father…
Well, Everyone wanted an hour long podcast…
Ray: "Cue the end music."
Here's a better way of seeing the numbers on the last panel:
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t249/Ryman10_photo/2009-05-27.png
Yep….pretty weird stuff Ray.
You left me out! (pouts)
mocliamtoh says:
There has to be someone in that hour long section…
Moonjuice7 says:
What about me. I'm even a top poster. 🙁
Left me out as well, and I'm in the top three. But I guess he was talking about the memorable posters on the comics.
I like how my name is first, but it could be in reverse order, so technically I'm last…
Well you are always here. And your a furry, which makes you memorable.
zfleeman says:
Even though I have been lurking in the shadows for several months, I figure this is a perfect time for me to rise from my grave. It's things like the hidden math in panel three, the ridiculous fans (re: the sonic comic mail bag), and the refined humor that keep me coming back to 2p Start. Keep up the great work you guys.
At least I'm not one of those 'flamingly furry' Furries, I'm a furry when it is appropriate. You will not see me walking around town in a costume of my character. I am first and formost a human, I just pretend I'm an animal because it fun. It also helps that I hate the direction Humanity is going and I want to distance myself from it. I also like Otters to the point of obsession 😉
And now comes the obvious comment, when is it appropriate to be a furry?
i think they look like little ghost fetuses… that must be why the ghosts are angry.
Response to an earilier quote by D3vin. specifically,
I'm a furry when it is appropriate.
HEy i want that script thingy too where can i get that
srkelley says:
This comic is insanely funny. It's also true, it has to be. You've finally dug beneathe the scenes and unearthed the real story of Pac Man.


Marketing is happily married to email, but Creative is stuck in a dysfunctional relationship with the old-fashioned tool.
Results of two studies released this week, one by an email marketing company, one by a provider of a collaborative work-space communications solution, show two very different views of how we use email and what that means in our work lives.
The studies, Adestra's 2016 Consumer Adoption and Usage Study and Hightail's survey of creative professionals called "Is Email Killing Creativity?" have a lot to say about how email is being used in the workplace and how we feel about it.
Martech company Adestra is an email service provider and marketing firm. It is best known for its MessageFocus, system that combines strategic and technology services for creating and managing email marketing campaigns and tracking project and campaign data.
Hightail started as a solution to send attachments that were too large for email. The company now offers an online sharing, storage and file collaboration tool. Its study was released in advance of its new product, Untangler which allows users to pull attachments and comments from any email thread and add them to the company's customizable collaborative creative online workspace.
The topline results of the two studies presents an interesting contrast in terms of how we use email to work and our perceived levels of productivity.
When combined with independent data from the CMO Council, which estimates nearly $2 trillion of global media spend for 2016, then Hightail posits that because ~30% of creative projects are brought in behind schedule or over budget, then the inefficient use of email results in costs of over $600 billion.
That doesn't mean email is necessarily going away.
The Adestra study surveyed 1200 consumers about their email usage in daily life – including their work lives. The company examined generations at opposite ends of the demographic spectrum ranging from teens ages 14-18 and 19-34, who represent "the most native of the Digital Natives" and older users between 56 and 67 who represent first-generation email users.
If anything, the two studies show that we can love what hurts us and love what is simply part of life and work. All relationships with steady old email certainly reflect that contradiction.

The Jet 500 brings the level of play up a notch with an ITTF-approved rubber and a flexible plywood blade for competitive play. For intermediate level players into their groove, the Jet 500 has great offerings. The combination of a soft, elastic, 5-ply blade and two, ITTF-approved rubbers put you in a league with the pros. Spinny serves, consistent returns and powerful double-wing attacking are now possible with the Jet 500.
I used this racket when I first started going to my table tennis club. The racket is very bouncy and can only play fast. You can get some decent spin on serves. Serve return is difficult due to the high spin responsiveness of the rubber. Short to table is tough but this racket is good in the medium range. Looping is difficult as there isn't much control. This racket is not for beginners because it is so fast with minimal control. Killerspin attempted to make a high level premade racket. However, advanced players won't purchase a premade racket. Overall I don't recommend this racket.


Married At First Sight's Zoe Hendrix and Alex Garner are learning to co-parent their young daughter Harper Rose following the news of their split.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, 32-year-old Garner took his adorable daughter on a daddy date night and treated her to some ice-cream.
In a video posted to his Instagram Stories, the now single father presents Harper with an ice-cream, but Harper does not seem interested. Alex pushes the dessert closer to her, and she adorably grabs the bowl. Getting the ice-cream all over her face, Harper nods her head approvingly at her dad.
The daddy-daughter date night comes after he and Zoe, Harper's mother, publicly announced their separation.
Confirming the news to Instagram, Zoe shared: 'It is with sadness that Alex and I would like to state that we will be separating for now.
'We are determined to ensure our beautiful daughter Harper Rose continues to receive the unconditional love and nurturing she deserves from the both of us.
Alex also explained to his fans, 'Zoe and I both went into this experiment with open minds and really hoping to find A partner to share our lives with.
'We are so fortunate and thankful that we were matched together and have shared many great experiences over the last four years.
'We share the most important thing in both of our lives Harper Rose and will continue to love her and be the best parents possible.
'Although Zoe and I have separated our relationship is Civil.
The couple met on Channel Nine's social experiment Married At First on Season 5. They welcomed their daughter in November 2016.
