Jurich refused to bad mouth UofL during some tough times
Tom Jurich remained loyal to his friends and to the University of Louisville even when at least one individual in his employ made major mistakes and after he was fired by the Board of Trustees and erroneously accused of wrongdoing by an interim administrator.
Loyal after his trust was betrayed, resisting the urge to be critical, remaining positive about the University. Told to leave a job he treasured, depart a campus he had transformed, and an athletic department that he had revamped and molded into a collegiate powerhouse during his 20 years on the job.
Tom Jurich's affinity for UofL remained strong despite everything that happened (Charlie Springer photos).
Doubtful Tom will ever fully recover from the awful shock and the hurt he suffered in the early morning hours of October 18 when he was dismissed from UofL. That was a dark day for everyone involved, everyone associated with the school.
Unfortunately, it took the threat of a lawsuit for the Board of Trustees to make up for some of the injustices. There were still no apologies, but the Trustees approved a settlement with Jurich. The arrangement stipulates that he will receive no less than $4.5 million, ending any litigation between the two parties.
Jurich deserved, and could have commanded, much more than he finally received.
The settlement also calls for Jurich to get no less than $911,000 from his Deferred Compensation Plan and another $1.76 million to be paid out over the next eight years, as well as health coverage until he and his wife are eligible for Medicare. He will also receive eight club level season ticket licenses for UofL football and basketball games for the next 20 years.
Equally important, the agreement also changes the reason for his exit from the university from "fired with cause" to "terminated without cause due to resignation." The letter of dismissal will be removed from his personnel file.
Louisville is fortunate that Jurich is the person he is. He could have allowed the lawsuit to continue, possibly collecting tens of millions in more dollars from the school. Jurich deserved, and could have commanded, much more than he finally received.
The gut feeling here is that Tom had no desire to inflict more than financial or reputational harm to the University than has already occurred. He's just that kind of individual, and he continues to have strong feelings for UofL, still wanting the school to grow and prosper.
We have missed seeing Tom and his son Mark around the campus. Let's hope they will use those football and basketball tickets often in the future.

Tom Herman says:
Spot on, Charlie! This leaves hope that in time we will see some physical honor to Tom. Personally, I'd like to see all of Floyd St. south of Cardinal Blvd. (at least to Central) renamed to Tom Jurich Way!
Charlie Springer says:
Sounds like a good idea, Tom. His contributions should be honored in a big way on and around Belknap Campus.

Well we had a real close call during our first camp out of the year, near Payson, Arizona at a place we call Tarantula Grove. Since we normally camp way out in the boonies in areas with no official names, Don and I like to give some of our favorite spots little nicknames – Tarantula Grove is so called because the first time we camped there, a day didn't pass without seeing 2 to 3 large 8-legged creepy crawlies trekking through the middle of camp. Even though I have been an avid backpacker and camper all my life, I still freak out at the site of a spider (even the little ones), and my husband always has to come to the rescue. In any case, most of the time while sitting around camp, I have my feet up resting on another chair to avoid one of them crawling up my leg.
The area that we camp at near Payson is quite densely wooded with Scrub Oak, Pinyon and Juniper trees, over somewhat rough terrain dotted with prickly pear and cute little hedgehog cactus. My favorite plant in this semi-desert landscape is the beautiful mahogany-barked Manzanita bush – especially in the early spring when they are covered with tiny pink-white bells. We love the area because it is a prime location for wildlife viewing, one of our favorite pastimes! In the evenings, just about dusk we are hardly ever disappointed at the parade of wildlife we have seen in the area – deer, elk, black bears, and even peccaries. We had a family of these guys visit us in the late afternoon, one day. Looked like a mama with 5 little piglets. They stayed for about 5 minutes, scrounging around before disappearing into the thick underbrush. Very Exciting, and our first ever sighting of wild pigs in Arizona!! In the late evenings after the sun has gone down, we are often serenaded by a distant pack of coyotes.
.......As are a large community of blue bellies that live in the trees.
Another interesting fact about this area is that we are smack dab in the middle of Mogollon Monster Territory. Although we have never seen or heard anything strange ourselves, apparently a boy scout troop in the mid 1940's spotted a large bipedal hominid in the area near Payson. There have also been several reported sightings in the White Mountains and the Apache Reservation, of a large hairy creature with an incredibly bad odor that lets out blood-curdling screams in the middle of night. I have heard some pretty gruesome campfire stories about a pioneer who was homesteading near Camp Geronimo in the 1800's. He apparently had seen a strange creature lurking about while building his cabin, and on several occasions had heard strange screams emanating from the dark forest around his little cabin. Later, the pioneer was found hanging from a tree with his face torn off……..
A beautiful specimen of (Opuntia) Prickly Pear Cactus. It is important to note that it is illegal to pick plants which grow in National Parks, Forests, Grasslands, etc.
With certain species of Opuntia, not only can you eat the sweet fruit, but personally I love to dice and saute the Nopales (Paddles) in butter.
Anyway, back to our own close encounter of a human kind……. On our third day of camping, in the afternoon, we heard a truck pull in at another campsite, not 50 yards from us. We couldn't see it because of the thick underbrush, and I'm sure the driver had no idea we were camped back there. Anyway, after a few minutes, we heard a couple of loud gunshots, and figured the guy was probably doing a little target practicing. My husband, who was sitting in the truck, jumped out of it to walk up the road to let the hunter know we were camped nearby, and suddenly hit the deck. I have never seen Don drop to the ground so fast in my life. He said he felt a bullet whiz right past his head. He immediately jumped right back in the truck and started honking the horn to let the guy know he was shooting in our direction. After Don screamed out that we were camping back here, the guy yelled back that he was "Sorry", and promptly left.
We have never had any problems with hunters before. In fact, most of them are quite polite and always ask if we mind if they do some shooting. Often they will even ask if the gunshots will scare our dogs or horses, and we tell them no problem, because our animals are used to loud noises. What really ticked me off about this hunter is that he didn't even scout out the area to see if there was anyone else around - He just began shooting into the bushes without thinking about who else might be there. Also he should not have been target shooting into an area without a natural backstop like a hill or mound of dirt. The following day, I walked up to the next camp, and saw what he had been aiming at – a small plastic orange juice bottle that he had placed about shoulder height on a branch. Our camp was directly in back of those bushes.


This tutorial describes various RF measurements which include measurement of gain,spurious,harmonics,1dB compression point, image frequency rejection, return loss,phase noise,group delay, frequency stability,TOI,AM-PM conversion of various RF devices/equipments using RF test and measurement equipments. It covers RF transmitter and receiver measurements. This article will help RF engineers in how to test and measure various RF specifications of RF power amplifier, RF LNA and RF trasceiver using RF test and measurement equipments such as spectrum analyzer, signal generator, sweep oscillator, power meter etc.
It is the ratio of output power to the input power and is expressed in dB. For example if gain of the amplifier is mentioned as 20dB it means if the input to the amplifier/DUT ( device under test) is -15dBm, output power will be +5dBm.
The gain flatness or gain response is the measurement of the gain variation at different frequency of operation of the RF systems such as RF Transceiver, RF Power amplifier etc.
Unwanted frequencies at the output of the DUT usually devices having mixer devices e.g. RF frequency converters is called spurious frequencies. These spurious frequencies will be usually at non-integer multiples of the input frequency fed to the DUT.
This is also unwanted frequencies at the output of DUT as mentioned above but will be at integer multiples of the input frequency.same Fig.2 is used for measurement of harmonics.
Refer our page on Spurious vs Harmonics to know more.
It is also called as gain compression point; it is the output power till DUT works well and does not go into saturation condition. Keep varying the input power and measure the output power. From the measurement find out place where, 2 dB variation of input there is 1 dB variation in the output. These are input and output 1dB compression points.
It is the measure of the amount of noise generated by amplifier/DUT. It is related to noise temperature as mentioned below.
It is the specification of receiver part in RF transceiver. For example we need to measure image frequency rejection of C band down converter operating at input frequency of 3700-4200 MHz and having 52-88 MHz output frequency. We need to find two input frequencies f1 and f2 at the receiver or down converter which will produce same frequency as output (say 70 MHz). in this case these two frequencies are said to be images of each other. Frequency 5785 MHz is the image frequency of 3700 MHz. This has been derived from, Fimage = 3700 + 2*(1042.5) = 5785 MHz. Here IF of 1042.5 MHz is used as per heterodyne down converter diagram shown below.
In order to measure the rejection, we need to feed f1(equal to 3700 MHz) and note down the output frequency power level (say P1). Then we need to feed f2(equal to 5785 MHz image frequency) and note down the power level (say P2). The difference between these two power levels are said to be image frequency rejection. It is usually specified in dBc.
It is measured at all the ports of the DUT. It is the measure of accuracy of impedance matching at the ports.
Refer Reflection coefficient vs Return loss vs VSWR for more.
Delay for the signal to transit from input to output for Device under Test (DUT).
Here as shown in the figure MLA(Microwave Link Analyzer) is used for group delay measurement of RF Upconverter.
Group delay of upconverter = measure of group delay of above setup - group delay of mixer module.
Similarly group delay for SSPA or down converter can be measured by replacing upconverter mentioned in the setup with DUT.
It is the change in frequency of the DUT due to aging and temperature. They are two types short term and long term and measured in PPM/day or PPM/year respectively. ppm means parts per million.READ MORE.
It is a measure of linearity which describes the amount of third order harmonic that can be expressed in a device. It is referred to the input and output of a module.
Refer following links to know more on P1dB versus TOI, 2nd order Intercept point vs 3rd order Intercept point.
AM-PM conversion measures the amount of undesired phase deviation (PM) that is caused by amplitude variations (AM) of the system.
Measurement setup for AM-PM and TOI point is mentioned below.
As shown in the figure set Signal Source 1 to say f1(70 MHz) and feed this signal and adjust power level such that it gives output power of (P1dB-3) dB.
Switch off Signal Source 1 and set Signal source 2 to 71.001 MHz and adjust power level in Signal source 2 such that spectrum analyzer shows (P1dB-3) dBm as output.
Now simultaneously feed both the signals with the power levels just derived from above and note down the TOI as shown in the figure above.

More Doom III Details Revealed
id Software's favourite console jockeys Vicarious Visions made some interesting revelations about the future of the Xbox version of Doom III, the dizzyingly impressive FPS underway for the Microsoft home machine since early 2003. First up, recent talk of cross-platform play was kiboshed by VV CEO Karthik Bala in an interview with GamePro. He stated that although the team was aware that other id Software games such as the highly popular Quake 3 had managed to bridge this gap, there are currently no plans for Doom III to follow suit. Bala went on to uncover some good news, namely an interesting co-operative mode that will see two players take on the game as partners. It was not disclosed as to whether this will be enabled over Xbox Live. However, it does seem likely, as a significant element of the Xbox version will comprise online multiplayer action. Until now, id has been rather coy regarding Doom III PC's finalised multiplayer spec, with only a four-player demo being seen to date. It is expected that the finished game will have support for eight players on both platforms. As for the co-operative element in the game, it seems strange that this has been green-lighted for the Xbox port and will be missing from the flagship PC offering, due out this May. As it's highly likely that the Doom community will do more than a little moaning about this, perhaps a post-release patch or add-on will be issued, possibly developed by Splash Damage, the team currently charged with various multiplayer map design tasks for Doom III.

Mend Therapy is a collaborative practice of bodyworkers and psychotherapists dedicated to one idea: there is healing and wholeness after trauma. Trauma disconnects us. It distances, divides, disintegrates. It creates the illusion of separation in our relationship between body and mind, between ourself and those we love, challenging our very sense of belonging in and to the world.
Too often traditional psychotherapy fails to address the heart of the problem. Connecting body and mind is not a practice that any single form of therapy alone can address. By offering true collaboration across a spectrum of body and mind modalities, Mend Therapy brings true integration to the treatment of trauma.
When trauma is present we are often too easily triggered and emotionally reactive to bring this acceptance to ourselves and our relationships. At Mend, we provide the support and expertise necessary to help clients create truly sustainable change even in challenging circumstances.
Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) recognizes one essential fact about trauma that traditional psychotherapy often misses — trauma starts in the body. SE™ offers a process that is gentle, effective and informed by the latest in scientific research.
At Mend Therapy, we offer Advanced Rolfing® and bodywork to offer the body a chance to speak, to rest, and to heal. We offer a fully integrated biopsychosocial model of care that recognizes we stand the best chance to change our bodies when we are able to change our minds.
Our yoga classes offer a unique approach to working with the effects of trauma in the body through an intentional group setting. Our drop-in yoga classes are also a great way to get acquainted with our spaces and practitioners.
Our trauma-sensitive meditation class is designed to help people of any experience level and trauma history to practice meditation in a comfortable, safe, and healing environment. Meditation is a useful if not essential tool to develop the mindfulness needed to work successfully with the symptoms of trauma.

ILH takes new meaning, disturbance in force
By Paul Honda on January 8, 2013 | Girls basketball
Well, my suggested headline didn't make it into this morning's paper, but it's all good. I'll just type it here: International League of Hoops.
Seriously, the ILH has provided fans with some magnificent — if sometimes plodding — basketball in recent years. The surreal efficiency of 'Iolani's trapping defense during the Doc Mugiishi years … the uptempo racehorses of Jesse Nakanishi at Kamehameha … and now, with imported hoopsters at Maryknoll and Mid-Pacific*, the league is even more fascinating.
All that would be cancelled out, though, if most coaches insist on walking the ball up at a snail's pace. For now, thought, an additional quote from Warriors coach Julian Nakanishi that didn't make this morning's notebook (ran out of space).
It was 'Iolani, then Kamehameha, that dominated the state for years by relying on offseason training and development programs. At Kamehameha, Dyrbe Enos was the top shooting guard in the state before graduating last year.
"We've got guys coming up since seventh grade, ninth grade," Nakanishi said. "We can only control what we have, how we develop our players."
Konawaena bounced from top
And there's this. Konawaena girls were voted out of the No. 1 spot in today's Star-Advertiser Top 10. How does that happen? Please don't ask me. I voted for the Wildcats, who have 11 wins and just one loss. Granted, Kamehameha is unbeaten (according to the scores I've seen) and very good. But I have normally given defending champions the benefit of the doubt on my own ballot. But I have only one, and though 12 of 20 voters had Konawaena at the top of their ballots, there are a significant number of doubters. People who have the two-time defending state champions as low as No. 5 on their votes.
Preposterous? Ludicrous? Well, it is, after all, just a poll. And as I've always said, high school polls have the nutritional value of whipped cream. Fun. Tasty. Not a substitute for the real thing.
The real thing?
Bobbie Awa's record as Wildcats coach in BIIF play is now 142-7. Her state-tourney mark is 19-7. Four state championships.
I'll add this. With today's poll bouncing the 'Cats down to No. 2, there has been a disturbance in the force. And though the Wildcats don't play for rankings and hype, word will get back to them. You think they need more fuel just one season removed from the graduation of Lia Galdeira and Dawnyelle Awa?
Let's just observe. If you think voting Konawaena that low is justified, we'll see how the second half of the regular season, and then the postseason, play out. For the love of hoops, I hope the voters who shunned the 'Cats don't have to take the court against them at some point.
The disturbance would be rectified in full force, I imagine.


The 1955-59 Chevy Truck column installs in the same location as the old and includes everything you'll need for flawless installation. All that's required is an ididit installation kit. The 1955-59 column comes with it's own specially designed under dash mount and floor mount with gasket, as well as an OE gearbox cover that is designed to protect the original gearbox from dirt and debris. Using an adaptor, add an aftermarket wheel and the gripping surface will be in the same location as the stock wheel.


In view of the revival of activity on vacuum arcs, it is important to analyze the basic experimental data used in theory. Current density is one of the most important parameters. It is shown that the current density obtained by measuring postmortem arc craters could substantially underestimate the real current density.


Pay homage to the moon with this earthy crescent moon turquoise ring. Crafted from recycled sterling silver this ring features hand stamped detailing on the band and the setting for a cool textured look. The band is dainty and looks great with any outfit.

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town Review
Story of Seasons is one of my favourite video game franchises and I've been playing the games since the N64 days, back when the series was still known in the West as Harvest Moon (For those unaware of the name change, due to rights issues, they had to change the name when a new localizer took over the series in 2014. Any games released under the title of Harvest Moon since then, are actually made by a different game studio).
The gameplay in Story of Seasons revolves around developing a farm, raising crops and animals, interacting with quirky villagers and courting the eligible bachelors or bachelorettes of the town, eventually settling down with one of them and starting a family. It's a calming gaming experience, where the focus is on simulating a relaxing life full of the simple pleasures of love, community and communion with nature.
Pioneers of Olive Town is the newest game in the Story of Seasons franchise and the first to be released on a home console (as opposed to a handheld console) in quite some time – though the Switch technically functions as both. I was really excited for this game and have been playing it a whole bunch since it was released, enjoying building my farm and chatting with my friend about which character I was planning to marry.
Here are my thoughts on Pioneers of Olive Town!
Introduction of same-sex marriage:
This is a big pro for me. A key component of Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon games has always been the ability to date and marry the single young villagers. Getting to know these characters through triggering special cut-scenes or participating in events is the most exciting part of the story, and I always look forward to the process of selecting the person I want to propose to.
But the characters that were available for courting had previously been limited to the opposite gender of what the player selected for their in-game avatar. Basically, in older games, if you where playing as a girl, you could only marry male characters, and if you were playing as a boy, you could only marry female characters (though a few games did include gender-ambiguous characters that both genders could pursue).
The first game to change this, and allow same-sex marriage, was actually the remake of Friends of Mineral Town, which came out last year. So, while this isn't technically the first game in the franchise to include the option to marry a character that's the same gender as the player character, it's the first one that's a brand new entry in the franchise, and I'm delighted to finally see same-sex marriage included. Not only am I happy to see that Story of Seasons is being more inclusive, I'm also selfishly glad that my dating pool has been expanded. After all, sometimes the male characters in this franchise can leave something to be desired…
Charming characters:
I'd seen some criticism of the NPC's when this game was first released. I guess some people found them boring, but I have to say that I was charmed by them. This may partially be because updates have expanded the dialogue that's available for these characters since Pioneers of Olive Town's initial release, but even putting that aside, the cut-scenes that you trigger as you raise the friendship levels of the villagers or complete in-game goals, are really cute and fun. Some of them are even hilarious! I loved seeing the antics of the Mayor's idiot son, Jacopo, and learning how everyone in town seems to be in love with the classy and independent owner of the bistro, Misaki. The unexpected storyline of the assassin who's out to get Iori was both surprising and amusing! These are interesting and loveable characters and I enjoyed getting to know them as I integrated myself into the Olive Town community.
Lots of things to do:
Sometimes, Story of Seasons games can get a bit dull after you've gotten married and upgraded your farm to a certain level, but I'm finding that there's a lot more to do in Pioneers of Olive Town, besides just wooing the locals and growing crops on the farm. There are quests to complete to help the mayor fix up the town and transform it into a tourist destination. There are new areas and abilities to unlock. You're able to decorate your farm and make different outfits for your character to wear. You can donate things to the local museum and build up its collection or complete cooking challenges issued by the local gourmet.
There's tons of things to do in this game and I'm still having a lot of fun with it, even after getting married to my sweet heart. And, if you want some additional excitement, there's also a fun DLC storyline you can download where you help the local kids solve some mysteries!
Game is a little buggy:
This is something that personally hasn't effected me, but there have been several patches released for the game already to address some bugs. My friend, who is also playing the game, has also encountered a few bugs in her playthrough. They haven't been anything game-breaking, but they're definitely annoying. Thankfully, these have been corrected through updates to the game, as they've been discovered.
Storage and other Quality of Life Issues:
Pioneers of Olive Town has a few minor flaws which, while not things that have a huge effect on my enjoyment of the game, are still aggravating and seem like things that should have been ironed out early in the games production.
While playing through the game's story and expanding my farm, storage quickly becomes an issue for me, and I've had to clutter up my farm with multiple storage boxes, just to hold all of my ingredients and materials.
Makers are also slow and only produce one item at a time, another pain-in-the-butt detail that slows down progress for seemingly no reason.
Some of these complaints are slated to be addressed in future updates, but I really feel like these things should have been considered and fixed from the start.
I've had a lot of fun with this game and, while there are a few things that could be improved, I think it's an excellent edition to the Story of Seasons franchise. If you've enjoyed previous Story of Seasons or Harvest Moon games, this is worth picking up.
Final Score: 8 out of 10
For more information on this game, check out the Story of Seasons website.

I've never played a game from this series (not really into simulations), but I do like the aesthetics. And I'm glad they're at least trying to be responsive in addressing bugs and flaws.

This isn't really my type of game tbh. I guess the closest to it, which isn't very close, is Sims . Though I did find your comment "the male characters in this franchise can leave something to be desired" pretty funny and as a straight dude can defo say sometimes the male options in games compared to the females do seem to be a bit lacklustre
Team Jacobo all the way!!
I honestly don't know anything about him other than what he said but I may try to marry the most useless candidate just to complain about them.
Loved so many iterations of this game, I'm definitely tempted to grab this one!

KPT told to minimise air pollution at coal terminal
Residents complained that coal dust from the terminal was severely affecting their health.

KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) was informed on Monday that the Karachi Port Trust (KPT) is running the coal terminal in Shireen Jinnah Colony in violation of the law. The port authority has not obtained a formal approval from the environmental authority in this regard.
The director-general (DG) of the Sindh environment protection agency, Naeem Mughal, revealed this before a bench during the hearing of a petition against the operation of the coal-handling terminal at Shireen Jinnah Colony.
Mughal, who filed his report regarding the operation of the terminal and its impact on the environment, said that the "entire process, from the unloading of the coal to its dumping and transportation to different industrial units, has serious environmental implications."
The DG referred to the inspection during which it was observed that coal material, which was found on the berth and jetty flowed into the port's waters during washing or at the time of rainfall, causing marine pollution.
He added that the transportation of coal via heavy vehicles from the terminal to the coal yard, located at a distance of around three to four kilometres, was a major source of air pollution as the open trucks caused the residual coal particles to escape into the air. Mughal apprehended that hundreds of residents would suffer from respiratory diseases due to the environmental pollution.
He said that coal dust was found in the houses located in the densely populated area of Keamari and the adjoining areas of the terminal. Moreover, environmental issues relating to the storage of coal were significantly adverse as a huge quantity of coal was stored at the yard.
Mughal was of the opinion that the location of the coal yard in a densely-populated area had put the residents at high risk. The concentration of coal emissions would have an adverse effect on the health of the workers on the site as well as the general public in the vicinity.
Orders for KPT
A division bench, headed by Justice Sajjad Ali Shah, directed the Karachi Port Trust authorities to put in place various preventive measures to ensure minimum eruption of dust from the terminal. It ordered them to ensure that the premises where the coal was kept, as well as the vehicles transporting the coal, should be completely covered.
Residents' plight
A group of the residents of the Shireen Jinnah Colony had taken the port authorities to court over excessive eruption of the dangerous coal dust from its terminal.
They claimed that the coal dust blowing from KPTs terminal posed serious threats to the health of residents of the area. They estimated that on average, five ships carrying 35,000 to 40,000 tons of the coal, berthed every month at the port. About 200,000 tons of the coal is handled at the terminal monthly.

I stood naked on the rugged, jagged precipice, and faced my accursed, aged foe with dogged resolve. The wretched, wicked wizard stretched a crooked finger from a ragged sleeve. As he began to mutter the incantation, I thought of my beloved Hildegarde.
How's that to set you on the edge of your seat? Aside from the gripping drama and suspense, what did you notice? Maybe you noticed that it had way too many adjectives. True enough, but there's more. Every one of those adjectives—naked, rugged, jagged, accursed, aged, dogged, wretched, wicked, crooked, ragged, and beloved—has the same unusual pronunciation of the suffix –ed. If these words were pronounced like most English words ending in –ed, they'd be pronounced /nekt/, /rʌɡd/, /ʤæɡd/, /əkɝst/, /eʤd/, /dɑɡd/, /wɪkt/, /rɛʧt/, /krʊkt/, /ræɡd/, and /bɪlʌvd/. That's because usually, the –ed suffix is just pronounced as a d or t at the end of the last syllable of the word it gets suffixed to. It's pronounced as a d when the base word ends in a vowel or a voiced consonant; for example, agreed, grabbed, hummed, raved, writhed, sailed, roared, leaned, buzzed, bridged, hugged, and longed. It's pronounced as a t when the base word ends in a voiceless consonant; for example, flapped, puffed, toothed, hissed, scratched, and looked.
Sometimes the –ed suffix is pronounced as its own syllable. This happens when the base word already ends in a d or t sound; for example, floated and braided. But none of the adjectives we're talking about have a d or t sound before the –ed suffix, so it's strange that their –ed suffix should be pronounced as a separate syllable.
Instead, they have a mixture of consonants before the -ed. Most of them have a k sound there (e.g., naked, wicked, and crooked), or they have a hard g sound before the -ed (e.g., ragged, rugged, jagged, and dogged). A couple of them have a ch or soft g sound before the –ed: wretched and aged. One more has an s there: accursed. Lastly, there's beloved, whose base ends with a v sound.
Furthermore, I didn't even include all the adjectives with this pronunciation quirk in my sentences. I left out learned and blessed, and still others whose pronunciations vary depending on dialect: /fɔrkəd/vs. /fɔrkt/ [forked], /pikəd/ vs. /pikt/ [peaked], /əlɛʤəd/ vs. /əlɛʤd/ [alleged], /səpozəd/ vs. /səpozd/ [supposed], /lɛgəd/ vs. /lɛgd/ [legged], and /strɑɪpəd/ vs. /strɑɪpt/ [striped]. And those are just the ones that I knew about.
I was surprised to learn that as late as 1839, the words booked, tusked, tressed, scabbed, crabbed, chubbed, stubbed, shagged, snagged, scrubbed, scragged, hawked, and stiff-necked were also pronounced with a separate syllable for –ed, at least according to a book published that year called A Critical Pronouncing Dictionary and Expositor of the English Language, by one John Walker.
In short, there's nothing that these consonants have in common that separates them from other consonants.
So is there some kind of rule for when we pronounce the –ed suffix as its own syllable? There are a few observations that can be made, but it's not going to be definitive.

Hollywood + Hometown: 3 Ways To Enjoy Your Weekend NOW!
It's a holiday weekend so it's time for some safe fun, in the sun, or not! Check out my top 3 tips to enjoy your weekend starting NOW!
Make Happy Hour Even Happier: I know, many of us may have been drinking just a little more than usual during these times, but this weekend you have an excuse! A fun way to spice up your usual cocktails: buy some fresh fruit (think watermelon, mangos, raspberries), slice/dice them, and throw them in the freezer for a few hours. Once they're frozen, either add them directly into your wine glass (or sparkling water) for added flare, or put them in the blender with your liquor of choice and now you have a FRESH daiquiri.

I love finding new and unique ways to use nature, culinary decor and herbs for display purposes. So when I stumbled upon this center piece at a restaurant in Dallas, I knew it was a must share solution. On each table, the restaurant had flat-bottomed lightbulbs that doubled as planter solutions for rosemary.


You know that it's going to be a sizzling summer. You also know that you have a toddler who simply loves playing with water. Or maybe it's you who loves water and you want your toddler to develop a love for water too!
Or perhaps you have a toddler who is simply terrified of water. Maybe your toddler hates baths and won't even venture to let his or her toes get wet at all.
Not all toddlers are going to naturally love water but as a parent, caregiver or guardian, it's a good idea to encourage your toddler to love water, or at least, not be afraid of it.
It makes a lot of sense to help your toddler to love water…or at least, be comfortable (and wise) around water. Why is this important?
We know of toddlers who simply hate bath time because they don't like their faces getting wet. It can be completely draining to have to convince a strong-headed toddler to take a bath…especially if this is a daily battle.
Learning to swim is an important life skill to have. It can literally save lives. We think that every parent should teach their kid to swim or if you can't or don't know how to do it, pay someone else to do it.
Since our earth has mass areas of water, your child is probably going to eventually come to places where there are lots of water. For example, homes with pools, camping trips located next to a lake etc. The more you know that your toddler can handle himself or herself safely around water, the less worried you will be.
Last but not least, water play is simply a fun activity…especially for hot, summer days when all you want to do is sit in a cool waddling pool. If you help your toddler to develop a love for water, you can look forward to many fun activities including running through sprinklers, visiting splash parks, going down water slides and of course, swimming in toddler pools.
The most important part of encouraging your toddler to love water is to have fun and make sure that YOU are comfortable around water yourself.
Kids often take on our own feelings towards a particular activity. For example, if they see or sense our fear or dislike towards a particular object or activity, they are more likely going to adopt our feelings as their own.
So show them how much fun water can be. Get them some cool bath toys and play with them. Get wet yourself! If they refuse to get in the bath, start with a small bucket of water and let them play with the water in it, under your supervision.
If they don't like water on their face or hair, try making a game out of lightly sprinkling some water on their face with a bath toy that has tiny holes in them.
Don't force anything but keep it all light-hearted. Be prepared to change activities immediately (even after 1 minute) if you can see that they are getting too upset.
On one hand, you want to encourage your toddler to love and be comfortable around water but drowning is a significant danger to toddlers.
In the US, the statistics are pretty grim. According to the CDC, between 2005-2014, there were 3,536 unintentional drownings and one in five of these were children aged 14 years and younger.
According to a report by the UK National Water Safety Forum, there were 10 children aged 4 and under who drowned in 2013 alone.
Any single drowning is a tragedy. That's why it's important to supervise any young child around water.
The most important rule is to NEVER leave them alone around a body of water by themselves. For example, even if the water is shallow, they could still accidentally slip in the bathtub and knock themselves unconscious.
Make sure that you provide full attention to your toddler when there is any water around. It may be tempting to look at your smartphone while your toddler is playing in the bath but you should always have 100% full attention on your toddler.
Fence any swimming pool. This is especially important for toddlers who are mobile and yet still don't fully understand the dangers of water.
If you around a body of water that cannot be fenced (such as a lake), make sure that your toddler is always within arm's reach.
Even if you don't know whether your toddler fully understands you or not, it is a good idea to talk to your child about the need to be careful around water and its possible dangers. Model good behavior around water yourself by being confident, yet careful around water.
Teach your child to swim or sign your child up for swimming lessons. There are quite a few that allow your children to start at around 6 months old but some start as early as 2 months old.
Be aware that pool noodles and floats are not infallible. You still need to keep your child at arm's length when he or she is in the water.
Empty out bathtubs or buckets immediately after use.
Ensure that toilet lids are locked down and doors to bathrooms are also closed.
Take a CPR course. When you have a toddler, a first aid safety course is always going to be useful and most courses include a CPR session.
Now that we have talked about some safety tips around water, it's time to find some water toys that will help your toddler have fun with water play.
Here are our 9 favorite Kids' water toys.
Toddlers just seem to gravitate naturally towards this water play table. It incorporates a spiral ball drop, a Ferris wheel that scoops and drops off balls and a twin water-powered wheel. Not only is this water play table fantastic for helping toddlers develop a love for water but it's also great as a water toy that builds social skills as several kids can play with this water table at the same time. This water play table also comes with a water cup and 5 mini toys that squirt water. Setting this up is also pretty easy, which is a plus for parents.
This is another fantastic water play table. It comes with an upper-level water deck that is about 34" tall and cool water ramps that create a waterfall-type effect. There are also 3 buckets for pouring water onto the ramps and multiple water maze pieces. There are also two toys that squirt water. This play set is designed so that several children can play together. There is also a convenient water plug that will make it much easier for you to drain the water our after play is finished. Set up is relatively straightforward.
Totally makes sense that this toy was awarded the coveted title of Most Wanted 2017 Summer Toy!
This Munchkin-Fishin'-Bath is great fishing fun for older toddlers. It comes with a magnetic fishing rod to pick up 3 cute-looking toys (fish, octopus and baby) that can float in water. The toys are air-tight so you don't have to worry about mold and mildew collecting in them. It is also great for building hand-eye coordination and instilling patience in toddlers! Fantastic for use in the bath or in small containers of water.
We like the Step2-Spill-Splash-Water-Table because it comes with a cute umbrella that provides some shade from the sun (trust us, it is worth paying extra money to get extra sun protection for your child). It also comes with 2 different play water pools. The upper water table holds 2.22 gallons of water and the lower holds 3.24 gallons. Due to its design, it is big enough to fit quite a few children around it. If you scoop enough water into the upper water table, your toddler can watch the water flow from the upper-level water table to the lower one. There is also a water spinner in the upper-level water table that your toddler can use to create a whirlpool. This water table also comes with 4 buckets and several cute figures including 2 divers, a dolphin that squirts water and a fish that also squirts water. There is also an attached diving board and a moving springboard/slide to add fun to this water table. If you want to, you can also add sand into this water table.
Set up is not too difficult but be warned, you will need to use a drill for the screw holes.
This is a cute simple-looking toy that is tons of fun. This penguin swims through water when you wind up its arms and release it. It's not an expensive toy but it is pretty interesting watching the penguin swim around. The manufacturer also says that the paint on it is non-toxic.
This is an award winning bath toy that uses gravity and the flow of water to make the frog move. The frog wears a bow tie that holds water and this water gets poured out when it gets too full into moving Ferris wheels. Great for learning about cause and effect and hand-eye coordination.
This toy also comes with 4 stacking cups so that your toddler can have lots of pouring fun! The stacking cups have a tiny hole in them so that you can use them to sprinkle water on your toddler's face. As mentioned before, this is a great strategy to employ if you have a toddler who hates water on his or her face.
This toy suctions onto the bathtub and bath wall and also comes with a lifetime warranty.
This sand water table comes with lids that fold out to provide more play space. It can be used with water alone, sand alone, or as a combo of both which makes it pretty exceptional. It comes with fun supplementary toys such as sand buckets, shape molds, a rake, a shovel, a watering can, a boat and a water wheel.
As a parent or caregiver, you may be worried about the ease of cleaning out this table if it gets all sandy. The great news is that the basins are removable so that you can simply rinse it out. The legs are movable and the lids of the table fold back on either side so that you can transport it more easily with you. Great for building fine motor skills, as well as a love for water!
This set also comes with a free water gun and ebook and it comes with a lifetime guarantee.
This is another great toy for bath times. It has a turning roulette wheel and waterwheel that rotates when you pour water through it using the 2 stackable cups that are provided. When water travels through the toy, it also creates a waterfall effect. The fan and turbine spin and there is a cute robot-looking face whose eyes roll when water flows through this toy. Again, a great toy for developing hand-eye coordination.
The toy is made of eco-friendly ABS plastic that is non-toxic.
This is one of the most fun water toys on our list. If your toddler is a water baby and wants to play in water every day, rather than making a drive to the swimming pool or beach on a daily basis, you could get this Intex-Rainbow-Ring-Inflatable-Play. This inflatable mini pool comes with a rainbow archway that sprinkles water. There is also a mini slide. How super fun, right?
To add to the existing fun, this play center also comes with mini inflatable rings that your toddler can throw onto hooks attached to the rainbow. If your toddler is not quite that skillful yet, the mini rings provide independent play in the pool itself.
This play center is big enough for about 5 toddlers to play in it all at the same time. Best of all, if it gets too cold outside, you can transform this play center into a mini ball pit.
We hope that you have an amazing, watery summer! Stay safe and have lots of fun.


Daniel Dale is the Washington Bureau Chief and White House correspondent for the Toronto Star—Canada's largest newspaper. Dale also is an expert on the false statements of President Donald Trump.
How does Dale know so much about Trump's lack of truthfulness?
The Toronto Star decided the President's numerous "false claims" would be a major story of the Trump administration and gave Dale the job of monitoring Trump's statements. But why call them false claims instead of lies?
Dale noted Trump's false claims seemed to be increasing as we got closer to the 2018 midterms. After reviewing October 5 to November 6, Dale found a new record was set by Trump with 815 false claims in a month.
Dale shared the information on Twitter as well.
Dale broke down the numbers.
The three most dishonest days of Trump's presidency were the three days prior to the midterms. The record: 74 false claims the day before the midterms.
Last data point: Trump averaged 26.3 false claims per day in the month leading up to the midterms. In 2017, it was 2.9 per day.
He added a hat tip to his number cruncher, Ed Tubb.
Finally: all of these charts and statistics are courtesy of superb Toronto Star editor @EdTubb, who is the hidden hand behind the fact-check series.
Dale clarified that Trump's increase in lies was not just because he spoke more.
The lies per word ratio also increased leading up to the midterm elections.
Dale then added the featured topics of the President's midterm lying spree.
One more stat: here are the top four topics of Trump's false claims during his wildly dishonest month leading up to the midterms. More or less what I'd have guessed.
People wondered if the President's health might be deteriorating.
I'm no expert but does dementia usually accelerate this fast?
Dunno, but anger, panic & failure could well have an effect..
This man @realDonaldTrump is really a pathological, serial liar. It's a real illness. He's a clear and present danger to everyone.
They're lies, not just false claims. Call them LIES.
He lied. "False claim" leaves open the interpretation that he didn't know it was a lie. We all know, he knows, he's lying.
Whether the President continues with his heightened level of false claims, or lies, now that the midterms are over remains to be seen. But Daniel Dale will be watching.

New Expungement Laws in Effect
Posted on October 2, 2018 by Accel Admin
New expungement laws in New Jersey went into effect October 1. These laws were announced by Governor Chris Christie in June 2017. The new laws ban employers from discriminating against potential employees for having an expunged criminal record. It also accelerates some expungements, increases the number of convictions that can be expunged and reduces the waiting period to expunge an entire record for juveniles. In one bill, it strengthens bans the box legislation to include language in the original bill for people who had their records expunged. Another bill cuts the waiting period to expunge for an entire juvenile from five years down to three years. With another bill in effect, it allows an individual to expunge up to four offenses instead of three or even multiple offenses that occurred within a short period of time if the petitioner has not been convicted of any prior or subsequent offense. The bill also reduces the waiting period for expungement eligibility from 10 years to six years. This follows the lastest of any conviction, payment of fine and completion of probation, parole or prison sentence that was made. If fines and restitution are paid in satisfaction and were the only remaining barrier, the eligibility period for expungement can be further reduced for the petitioner. The court may find this in the public's interest. There is also the new effect of aligning the expungement and sentencing statutes that allow expungement for possession of marijuana with the intent to sell up to one ounce.
Why is expungement beneficial?
With expungement laws being accessible, it allows individuals to start fresh. They may be able to erase offenses that they were charged. This can give them the ability to apply to certain things, such as a job, and not have to check a box that lists them as being convicted of a crime. For juveniles, this can be especially beneficial. Juvenile crimes are committed when individuals are at a young age. When these minors are charged with these crimes, they are not fully matured. They are going to make mistakes. With expungement of these offenses, it can give them a future free from these strings being attached to their reputation and identity.

Today in Cyberpunk History (March 1, 1990): Early morning at Steve Jackson Games in Austin, Texas saw an invasion of US Secret Service agents seizing any system used for GURPS Cyberpunk RPG book. They were looking for "evidence" to convict one of SJ Games's employees: One Loyd Blankenship, whose home was also raided. It wouldn't be until October when SJ Games learned why they were raided as the warrant was sealed (You can view the warrant here).
Guilt by Association. The primary target of the raid was Loyd Blankenship, who was known in hacker circles as +++The Mentor+++, member of Legion of Doom. He also ran a BBS that distributed the hacker journal Phrack, that published the contents of a text file from Bell South that dealt with the 911 emergency response system in 1989. The file contained no schematics, no codes, no technical anything… it was only an administrative book that Bell South would sell to the public for $13 US. Yet it was feared that the file would be used by hackers to disrupt the 911 system, and Bell South claimed the posting caused 80 thousand dollars in damage.
GURPS Cyberpunk was an unfortunate victim of circumstance. The agents saw it and thought it was a real book about hacking. And with the rest of Operation Sundevil going on nationwide, why not make Steve Jackson Games an example?
The System Eats Itself. On the afternoon of January 15, 1990, AT&T's long distance network began a downward spiral that lead to a near shutdown. The cause was a simple programming error what would cause a software crash when it got messages from switching stations coming back online. The crash required an automatic reboot of the switching station, which lead to the transmission of "back online" messages to its neighbors. But those messages would knock those switches offline, and generate more messages that would knock more switches offline…
An investigation did show that it was a programming error that caused the crash. The problem was nobody wanted to believe it. For a company and computers to make such a FUBAR is unheard of, and everyone from the government to the media to the clueless sheeple on the street wanted to believe it was deliberate act by someone. Who could possibly have the ability to cause such calamity?
Hackers. They've shown they could get into most any system and do… things. Why not crash a major infrastructure? In May 1990 Garry M. Jenkins, Assistant Director of the US Secret Service, made the following comment in a press release:
"The Secret Service is sending a clear message to those computer hackers who have decided to violate the laws of this nation in the mistaken belief that they can successfully avoid detection by hiding behind the relative anonymity of their computer terminals."
Thus began the shitstorm that was Sundevil.
Revenge of The Geeks. Mid-1990 saw the founding of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the organization that fights for freedom of the Internet. Operation Sundevil itself was seen as just a publicity stunt since, as a "law-enforcement tool," it failed to produce any convictions. The saga can be read about via Bruce Sterling's book The Hacker Crackdown.
As for SJ Games, they finally had their day in court in 1993. They were acquitted on two of the three counts against them. Their story can be read, along with the relevant documents, on their website.

2 Site Updates in just one week, (and none of them is just a internal message about site status) I am impressed.
My last comment was only a joke. (Please don't understand it wrong. This was not meant negative. ) I think the EFF did a really good work to protect the Web from some Corporations.
On the Topic of the Raid, I once heard this was even used for advertisement of the 2020 Game System akin to (Even the police thought it was real.) So, I also thought the issue was also a little bit funny, in a macabre way.
Awesome article actually, more stories from the golden era of cy plz
I agree, I also think it's good to have some articles about computer/cy history.

Stop Talking to Your Dog in a Baby Voice
According to research, when your dog is grown, he doesn't give a sh*t.
By Sammy Nickalls
If you claim you've never said "Who's a good boy?!" in the highest pitch voice humanly possible, you've either never owned a dog or you're a straight-up liar. But it turns out that if your dog is full-grown, he doesn't care for that shit at all.
While we stop using the baby voice on humans after they've grown out of their diapers, many of us keep on using it no matter how old our dogs get. However, according to a new study, we should really stop once our dogs grow out of puppyhood. Gizmodo reports that in a study that's been accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, puppies respond to baby talk, but full-grown dogs are apathetic to your cooing.
Acoustic communication specialist at Jean Monnet University Nicolas Mathevon and his team played recordings of "dog-directed speech" (your baby talk, in other words) through high-quality speakers to over 40 dogs of various breeds and ages. Mathevon acquired the recordings by asking subjects to say typical dog phrases like "What a good boy!" while looking at pictures of dogs of various ages.
The researchers found that people tend to use dog-directed speech to dogs of all ages, although pitch tends to be slightly higher when communicating with puppies (because they're just so damn cute). Puppies reacted to this manner of speech strongly and more animatedly than to normal speech, but older dogs didn't react any differently to either manner and tended to ignore the speaker.
Mathevon told Gizmodo that the study says more about human behavior than about dogs:
"I think that we are directing a human behavior at dogs. Our study suggests that we use this kind of speech pattern to engage interaction with a non-speaking listener. This study does not tell muca bout dogs, but more about human behavior. It underlines that we try to adapt the way we speak to our listener—or to what we think our listener is able to understand."
So there you have it: Dogs can understand what you say and don't give a shit about your baby voice. Man's best friend indeed.

In a statement made by Texas State Representative John Smite, "You look at the cost of health care in general and it's increasing faster than the cost of living." According to a Commonwealth Fund report, we have seen individual Texas health insurance premiums increased by almost 50 percent in the past eight years. The rise in family and group Texas health insurance plan premiums was even greater. A 2011 survey conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that the cost of giving health benefits to employees increased by 118 percent for large firms and 103 percent for small firms in the past 10 years.
Health Savings Accounts Made Available to Texan sunder the "IRC Section 223" or state "Qualifying High Deductible Health Plan," certain high-deductible Texas insurance plans are allowed to pair with a Health Savings Account or HSA. Health Savings Accounts started back in 2004. Since then, there had been an influx in people enrolling in HSA plans. Health Savings Accounts are available to Texans who buy their own TX health insurance plan, who are self-employed or who have employer-provided HSA plans.
In a study by United Benefit Advisors it showed that HSA-qualified plans have fewer and lower rate hikes as well as lower premiums compared to traditional health care plans. The rate of HSA premium increases is one third to one half that of what traditional plans has been. Results showed that the cost of HSA plans had only risen by an average of 3. 4 percent while premiums for all plans combined increased an average of 9. 6 percent in 2005 alone.
Between 2004 and 2005, Health Savings Account plan premiums increased by an average of 2. 8 percent while the combined cost of Texas health plans rose by 7. 3 percent as affirmed by a survey released by the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions.
Employers and Employees Can Both Benefit from A Health Savings Account Since Health Savings Accounts started, many employers have realized that switching from group coverage to Health Savings Account plans offered in the individual market increases their savings that permit them to fund an HSA for every employee. Thanks to the new health care reform law, HSA plans now cover preventive health care from in-network providers with no out-of-pocket costs. This is even before the policyholder meets their deductible. If the medical expenses are not covered by their health insurance plan, employees can withdraw HSA money tax-free to pay for qualified medical expenses.
How Can Health Reimbursement Arrangements Help? Health Savings Accounts and Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA) can be used together. However, their use must not overlap each other. For example, you are not allowed to reimburse medical expenses that are meant to go toward the deductible of the HSA-qualified Texas health insurance. The main purpose of HRA plans is to reimburse workers for health care costs not covered by health plans as well as health insurance premiums. HRAs offer flexibility to employers because they can control the healthcare benefits of their workers without compromising the healthcare they receive.

Hear 26-Year-Old Steven Tyler's NATURAL Voice In 1974 "Dream On" Performance
YouTube, via danschutz
Look At That Baby Face!
Written in 1973 and featured on Aerosmith's debut album, 'Dream On' is the stuff power ballads are made of! It's powerful, inspiring, and should very well drive you to achieve the things you never thought possible, and by 1974 Aerosmith was still riding the wave of the song's success when they appeared on The Midnight Special for an incredible performance of 'Dream On'.
At 26 years old, Steven Tyler is fresh faced and absolutely gorgeous, delivering an absolutely unbelievable vocal performance that had to make the audience wonder: if he sounds this good at 26, imagine what he'll sound like at 67!
Fun Fact: This is actually Steven's natural singing voice.
Steven says that this was the only song on Aerosmith's first album where he used his real voice.
via danschutz/YouTube
It's one thing to see Aerosmith and Steven Tyler in 2015, knowing where they've been and the things they've been through to get to this point in their 45 year career. However, there's something incredibly special about looking back on them in 1974 – still very much boys hungry for success, and not yet touched by the vices and struggles that come with being a rockstar.
"It's about the hunger to be somebody: Dream until your dreams come true. This song sums up the s–t you put up with when you're in a new band. Most of the critics panned our first album, and said we were ripping off the Stones. That's a good barometer of my anger at the press, which I still have. 'Dream On' came of me playing the piano when I was about 17 or 18, and I didn't know anything about writing a song. It was just this little sonnet that I started playing one day. I never thought that it would end up being a real song." – Steven Tyler
One of the greatest rock anthems ever created sung by someone with one of the most distinctive voices of all time. What more could you ask for?
