UFC 139 prelim fight videos of Seth Baczynski vs. Matt Brown.
thank you so much Bruno for quick upload.
Thx for the quick post B!!
Bruno: No problem.
Why do I get the feeling that Matt Brown is one or two tweaks away from being great? He has lost a lot of fights, but he has been in every one of them. He seems to do everything right, but just hasn't been able to put everything together. It seems like Blackhouse or Greg Jackson could really do wonders for this guy.
same old story for matt brown
Bummer. Always liked Matt Brown. I have a feeling he could get the axe.
@sean, he needs to stay away from greg jackson, he is the worst trainer in mma, he trains for gameplans and not fighting, how do 2 of the most vicious strickers become dry humpers (gsp,marquart) put them in a greg jackso training camp thats how

Out of memory exception while exporting large table to another database (but not when logging is disabled)
|User, date
Written by brikkelt

Category: Import/Export
2 posts since Wed, 02 Jul 14
I'm regularly running into trouble while exporting large tables from one database to another (both MySql).
Sometimes I get a message like 'lost connection to database' (I'm not sure which db, the exporting or the importing one, I'm guessing the importing one). After this, Heidi stops exporting. This happens on a table with only 800 records, but with a lot of data in one of the columns per record (MEDIUMTEXT).
At other times I get an out of memory exception like the one below. This happens on a table with 1.5 million records. However, in this case, when I disable logging the queries (both user fired and internal), the export succeeds (and the process goes quicker as well). So I'm guessing there's one part of the trouble.
I hope you will be able to fix this some time, because in this case I found myself reluctantly reaching back to MySql-Front, which does an error-free and quick job transerring data from one db to another. For the rest, I like Heidi so much better ;-)
Here's the exception that happened on the 1.5 million record export:

To fix the "lost connection to database" error, you can increase the server variable "max_allowed_packet" of the target server.
The exception in TMainForm.SynMemoQueryPaintTransient could be avoidable if you just decrease the max size of log lines. See Tools > Preferences > Logging > "Cut long lines at..."

|Ah, and also minimize the setting for Tools > Preferences > Logging > "Log last ... queries". Perhaps you have increased that value to an incredibly large one, or have set it to 0 (= keep *all* lines)

Hey, thanks for the quick reply and the workarounds (especially the 'max_allowed_packet' one. That will keep me going for now.
It would of course be nice if Heidi wouldn't get in trouble in the first place (by protecting the user that has his settings set to fatal/default values), but I see on the issue tracker that there's enough work to be done already, so I'm not going to complain any longer :-)
Greetings and thanks again,

Though Selena Gomez has poked fun at Justin Bieber once or twice since their breakup, he refuses to engage in a war of words with her.
A source tells RadarOnline.com that Justin has instructed friends "not to fight back" because he "doesn't want to fuel the fire and he just doesn't want it to be that way with her. 'I don't want anyone saying anything negative about her,' is what he told his pals."
Last week on Late Show with David Letterman , Selena quipped that she's made Justin cry in the past.

Too long for a large size. Shrinks to appropriate size after washing. Stretches out too long after wearing again. November 11, 2013
Nice fit -- if you are a giant! Ordered and received suit that was labeled "Large". But "Large" must mean about 7' tall. Product arrived too late for an exchange before we left for our trip, so it was returned. September 24, 2013
Disappointed Nothing but baggy sweats. Not sure why they call it travel anything. Mostly suited for camping trip up north where no one will see you wearing it at night in your tent. September 5, 2013
If I had only known. Seems to be cut for a very tall person. I am 6' but pants are 6+ inches too long and jacket bottom coverys my bottom. August 15, 2013

DeKalb County Board of Education members are attending a state hearing Thursday morning after their efforts to block it failed. The hearing could result in all members being removed.
Board members tried to stop the State Board of Education hearing on the grounds that it was unconstitutional. The state board could recommend that the governor suspend board members and name new ones.
"We're not trying to keep a job," said Gene Walker, former DeKalb School Board Chairman. "We're trying to fight for the right to do the job. That's all we want to do is do the job that we were elected to do and we will continue to persevere to do that. And we're prepared to tell our story to whoever will listen to it."
The DeKalb board voted Wednesday to name Melvin Johnson the new board chairman. Johnson replaces Walker, who announced he is stepping down so the district can move in a new direction. A former deputy school superintendent in DeKalb County, Johnson has 37 years of experience in education.
Earlier Wednesday, board members also took part in a five-hour training session to become more effective leaders and better understand their role in the district.
The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) put the district on probation for a lack of leadership, money mismanagement and an abuse of power.
"I think it's extremely important," said interim school Superintendent Michael Thurmond. "Many of the board members are learning things that they thought they understood but things are being clarified, and I think it's the right direction."
Thurmond would not comment on a judge's refusal to block the state hearing.

The Niobrara shale formation is situated in northeastern Colorado and parts of adjacent Wyoming, Nebraska, and Kansas. Primarily an oil play, it is in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, which has long been a major oil and gas province. An emerging play, the Niobrara is in its early stages and companies have been busy leasing land for future drilling. It has been compared by some to the Bakken shale formation farther to the north.
Samson Oil & Gas is one of the earliest companies to establish a position in the Niobrara, which some call the "NeoBakken." Other operators include EOG Resources, Anadarko Petroleum, SM Energy, Noble Energy, Chesapeake Energy, Whiting Petroleum, Quicksilver Resources, MDU Resources, and Bill Barrett Corp. Chesapeake and EOG each have about 400,000 net acres in the Niobrara.

Despite spending the GOP's contested primary accusing President Obama for waging "an assault on religion," flyering voters in Iowa with pamphlets that touted a "pro-life" agenda, and pledging to defund Planned Parenthood, Mitt Romney's senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom insisted that the general election should eschew social issues. Fehrnstrom also accused Democrats of using women's reproductive health as "shiny objects" to avoid discussing the economy. "Mitt Romney is pro-life," he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. "He'll govern as a pro-life president, but you're going to see the Democrats use all sorts of shiny objects to distract people's attention from the Obama performance on the economy. This is not a social issue election."

What is the VFA?
The Voluntary Framework of Accountability (VFA) is an accountability framework FOR community colleges, BY community colleges that will define appropriate measures of effectiveness based upon/relevant to community colleges' missions and students.
When completed, the framework will include: defined measures in the areas of student progress and success; measures of the colleges ability to meet the workforce, economic, and community development needs of their service area; framework for assessing student learning outcomes, and a data collection and display tool that enables colleges to benchmark student progress and completion data against peer colleges.
What is the projected timeline for the VFA?
Currently, the VFA is in Phase II, which will end in the fall of 2011 and result in:
Phase III of the initiative--the availability of the VFA to all community colleges--is anticipated to start in 2012.
Who is doing the work of the VFA?
More than 40 community college leaders from various institutions and state systems are involved in the development of the VFA. Four working groups made up of college presidents, communications professionals, accountability and institutional effectiveness staff, institutional researchers, and trustees members from a cross-section of colleges are working to identify and define measures to include in the VFA. Each working group is led by a facilitator with experience in education consulting and communications. AACC VFA staff, the higher education community, and researchers are assisting the working groups in designing the VFA. Throughout the development of the framework, a VFA Steering Committee composed of college leadership, trustees, and researchers is reviewing the work of the groups and helping to make final decisions about the VFA.
The working groups are: Student Persistence and Outcomes; Workforce, Economic and Community Development; Student Learning Outcomes, and Communications and College Engagement.
Rosters of working groups and steering committee members are available on the VFA Web site: http://www.aacc.nche.edu/vfa
Why should my college participate in the VFA?
The data collected and shared will be specific to community colleges and focused on telling internal and external audiences what they need to know to shape improvement strategies and provide resources. There is enormous potential for the VFA to be the framework that satisfies a variety of reporting requirements and simplifies the work of institutional researchers, accountability and effectiveness professionals, and presidents.
How does this accountability initiative differ from other accountability efforts?
The VFA project participants and working group members examined many existing accountability initiatives to help shape their work. However, the VFA will differ from other initiatives because it will be 1) specific to community colleges, 2) applicable to all community colleges, 3) define measures that can be used to garner resources and inform improvement strategies, and 4) provide a data collection and display tool that enables colleges to benchmark their student progress and completion data against peer institutions. If many community colleges agree to and participate in the VFA, the potential exists to streamline accountability reporting and significantly enhance the analysis and use of data to meet the goals of the colleges.
Who is funding the VFA?
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Lumina Foundation for Education are funding Phase II of the VFA with equal grants totaling $1 million. For long-term sustainability of the VFA, AACC and the working groups will develop a business model and explore other support options.
Who are the pilot sites that are testing the framework?
AACC selected 40 pilots through a Request for Proposal process to ensure that a broad variety of colleges would be testing the proposed measures. The colleges selected are different in size, geography, demography, institutional research capacity, and structure (centralized or decentralized reporting system). For a listing of the sites and for more information on the pilot testing, please visit: (coming January 11, 2010).
How do I submit questions or give feedback on the initiative?
Feedback on the VFA is critically important to inform and improve the outcome of the project. AACC welcomes your input via the feedback form at: http://vovici.com/wsb.dll/s/3470g44392
Additionally, you may send an e-mail to the VFA project manager at firstname.lastname@example.com.

We review a lot of TVs here at CNET, but the list below represents only the best.
From eBay to store demo models, Amazon to your neighbor who's moving, there are some tempting deals out there. But is a used plasma worth the money, or any money?
The ARC Plasma speaker relies not on electromagnets but an arc of electrical plasma to produce sound.
With the slow demise of the beloved (and despised) technology, what's a plasma fan to do when faced with a future of LED LCDs?
As we approach the inevitable end of plasma televisions, can LED LCD really offer comparable picture quality? Perhaps.
Panasonic has demonstrated a prototype 4K LED TV that it claims delivers pictures as good as the best plasmas ever made. Read CNET's "eyes-on."
Samsung has announced a slew of new TVs at CES 2014, and all of them are based on LED LCD technology.
Among the two remaining TV makers that produce plasma TVs, LG and Samsung, only LG is announcing any plasmas at CES 2014.
The Samsung F5500 plasma offers great features and very good picture quality, but its performance suffers significantly under the lights.
The Consumer Electronics Show is all about TVs, and this year we expect the usual slew of announcements and buzzwords, as well as one conspicuous absentee: Panasonic plasma.
Although Panasonic's TX-P55VT65 and TX-P42ST60 each garnered five-star reviews as two of the best TVs we've seen all year, they mark the end of plasma.

Essential Info
Environmental Justice in Latin America
Environmental justice concerns form an important part of popular environmental movements in many countries. Activists, scholars, and policymakers in the developing world, for example, increasingly use the tools of environmental justice to link concerns over social justice and environmental well-being. Environmental Justice in Latin America investigates the emergence of a distinctively Latin American environmental justice movement, offering analyses and case studies that examine both the promise and the limits of environmental justice in Latin America and the Caribbean—both as a rallying point for popular mobilization and as a set of principles for analysis and policymaking.
After considering such conceptual issues as the connection between environmental conditions and race, trade, and social justice, the book presents a series of case studies. These studies focus first on industrial development, examining such topics as social tension over "megadevelopment" projects in Argentina and the concentrated industrial waste hazards of the export assembly plants on the U.S.-Mexico border, and then on the power and politics involved in land and resource use. Other chapters explore ecotourism, inequitable land distribution in Brazil, the ongoing struggle for justice and accountability over the former U.S. Navy bombing range in Vieques, Puerto Rico, and water policy in Chile, Bolivia, and Mexico. Taken together, the analyses and case studies suggest that environmental justice—which highlights both broader issues of global injustice and local concerns—holds tremendous promise as a way to understand and address environmental inequities in Latin America and elsewhere.

About the Editor
David V. Carruthers is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at San Diego State University.
"Finally, a reader on environmental justice in Latin America! This volumebrings together fascinating cases from across the region on a range ofenvironmental issues, written by leading experts in the field. Best of all, the work thoughtfully documents and conceptualizes the longhistory of struggles and injustices in the region which were never called'environmental justice.' Where the phrase is being adopted, the authorsdescribe how it is also being adapted, transformed, and reborn. This willbe required reading in my courses, and I believe it will be pivotal inadvancing international discussion on the issue."
—J. Timmons Roberts, Professor of Sociology, and Interim Director,Environmental Science and Policy, The College of William and Mary
"This book successfully lays out the opportunities and constraints that exist in the diverse countries and regions of Latin America, bringing a comprehensive and balanced examination to the application of environmental justice movements. A significant contribution to the scholarship on this subject."
—Daniel Faber, Department of Sociology, Northeastern University
"This collection of essays stands to be a pioneering book for exploring the conceptual and empirical translation of environmental justice in Latin America and the developing world. The authors' original and compelling effort will be useful to policy scholars and environmental activists seeking to understand the root causes of environmental injustice and the most appropriate and equitable ways to remedy them."

Coca-Cola launches campaign for new bottle size
Coca-Cola is readying an outdoor campaign to introduce its 375ml pocket size bottles across its Coca-Cola, Diet Coke and Coke Zero brands this spring.
The outdoor campaign will introduce the new bottles, followed by in-store promotions later this year.
It marks the brand's first new bottle size since the 500ml bottles went on sale in 1993. Coca-Cola will roll out the bottles across Great Britain and three other European countries.
The launch follows a three-month research programme commissioned by Coca-Cola, which it claims revealed that consumers, particularly in the four launch markets, wanted an additional variant between the 330ml can and 500ml bottles.
Coca-Cola will launch the bottles in its eco-friendly PlantBottle packaging, which was unveiled last year, as part of its ambition to produce all of its bottles from plant-based materials and recycled plastic by 2020.
Readers' comments (2)
Cool move. As Wharton's Barbara Kahn shows here 'Coca-Cola is the world's most valuable brand, worth $71 billion, but it is actually limited as a brand. It will extend comfortably to Diet Coke and Zero but it doesn't work with orange juice for instance. The idea of OJ being twinned with the brown fizzy stuff is not appealing... "
Hi Daniel.
Have you come across Mezzo Mix?
"Cola kisses Orange"
My German friends love the stuff.
Personally I am not a fan, but I guess it is all about what you are used to...

According to an analysis by Seth Hanlon, director of fiscal reform at the Center for American Progress, "$400 billion to $500 billion in taxes go uncollected every year in the United States because of tax evasion and noncompliance." At the same time, a bill proposed by House Republicans "would slash IRS funding by more than $600 million and lead to the furlough of 4,100 to 5,000 employees, mostly enforcement agents," even though every dollar invested in enforcement can shrink the deficit by $3.

Acoustic folk-pop artist Laura Doherty really does shine like a star on her second album for children. Her clear, easy-to-understand vocals are the highlight on each of the 13 songs. Her expert guitar skills are joined by instruments such as the banjo, mandolin, ukulele, and button accordion. The songs, most written by Doherty, are a nice combination of upbeat, lively tunes like "Rocket Ship," where she is joined by delightful children's voices, and more gentle offerings like "I'm a Tree." The fantastic "Tap Dance," featuring Reggio "The Hoofer," will have children moving and trying to shuffle step and keep the beat. A must-have for children's music collections.–Veronica De Fazio, Plainfield Public Library District, IL
Laura Doherty Shining Like a Star (Laura Doherty Music)
Rated 4 stars Doherty honed her acoustic skills for more than a decade as a teacher and Wiggleworms director at the Old Town School of Folk Music. Her second album is symbolic of Chicago's stellar artist scene, from the whimsical cover art by Laura Berger to her talented troupe of backup musicians. Darling ditties like "Tap Dance," a throwback to the rollicking jazz of the Roaring Twenties, and the snap-your-fingers "Jake the Snake," demonstrate Doherty's true gift—getting even the shyest wallflower to wiggle across the dance floor.
Laurie Berkner is without a doubt the brightest female star in kids music (and quite possibly the biggest star, period), so I've been surprised that there haven't been more artists who've attempted to follow in her footsteps. There are obviously lots of successful female artists, for the most part, however, artists like Elizabeth Mitchell, Frances England, Molly Ledford, and Ashley Albert have taken different paths than Berkner's taken, that of melding bright pop takes on traditonal kids' music with catchy new melodies.
But if your family enjoys Berkner and would like to know if there's more where that came from, the answer is, yes, indeed, Laura Doherty is one of the best artists making music for the preschoolers in your life.
On her second album Shining Like a Star, Laura Doherty plumbs a slightly less traditional, slightly less pop-py line than Charlie Hope, with such as with the wurlitzer-like keyboard on "Rocket Ship," the country/western-dusted "Quiet as a Mouse," or the circus organ on "Ferris Wheel." Like Hope, Doherty's blessed with a clear voice that elevates the material -- her samba take on the Joe Raposo classic "Sing" is excellent.
Targeted at kids ages 2 through 6, the songs on 33-minute album are very preschool-subject-focused ("Hula Hoop" is about, you guessed it, hula hooping), which may eventually limit the number of times you can handle hearing Shining Like a Star with your kids, but it'll take you longer than with most albums to reach that point. That even happens with Laurie Berkner albums eventually.
Even though she reminds me (in a good way) somewhat of Laurie Berkner, Laura Doherty is charting their own course in the kids music world. Even if she never reaches the heights of popular success Berkner has, on their latest albums, Doherty show off their talents in a way suggesting she, too, may be around for years to come. Recommended.
A few month's ago I bought the newest Adele CD. The first time I popped it in the CD player in the car, my 2 year listened to Rolling in the Deep and immediately said "AGAIN!" I was thrilled; what good musical taste my son had.
But then he kept saying "again" and as talented as Adele is after the bazillionth time through Rolling in the Deep I was going a little cuckoo!
So when I received Laura Doherty's new CD, Shining Like A Star, I was only cautiously optimistic. We'd tried introducing our little man to new music since he "met" Adele, but with no luck. But I held my breath, put on Ms. Doherty's CD and waited for "More Adele, mama!"
And it didn't come!
We listened to the whole CD and then we listened again. And then he started asking for specific songs. His faves are the "tomato song" (really called Vegetable Party), "snake Jake" (Jake the Snake) and "popcorn" (really called....well...Popcorn).
We have sung, we've danced and we are happy, because not only is this great kid's music, but it has been really nice for me too! I love Ms. Doherty's folky voice and her lyrics are so catchy that my 2 year has memorized several of the songs! In fact, we often hear him singing himself to sleep with one of her songs.
This is our first Laura Doherty CD, but it certainly won't be our last!
Oh, and Adele? It was nice knowing you.

Laura Doherty: Pajama Party In The Park @ Welles Park, 6/15
There is a fine line in children's music between the monotonously boring and the oh my goodness get me out of here. Laura Doherty however never comes close to this place. She nurtures adults with inner children present, as well as children themselves. With a full understanding of the demand that comes with being a children's performer as well as an adult at a kids show she has the ability to appease all ages. Laura also has a has a massive a quirk factor, (She can be seen wearing a hot dog hat explaining the toppings of a Chicago style hot dog for one of her songs) and refers to "Wheels On The Bus" as the "Freebird" of kid music which is completely correct. Getting the kids groove on in full swing is a task she easily masters and seeing her play is a great way to chill and get silly with fun music.
The former director of the Wiggleworms program at The Old Town School Of Folk Music took a daring leap and decided to go full time at the kids music gig showing an intense passion for bringing joy in the world via sweet folk inspired kids songs. Her latest release Kids In The City has a beautiful cover of the Bachrach classic "Raindrops Keep falling On My Head" which allows everyone to sing along with a smile.
Laura and her band are throwing a Pajama Party this Tuesday in Welles Park to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Wiggleworms! Bring the kids to this one of a kind event where everyone is invited to come in appropriate attire.
The event is all ages and starts at 6:30. Welles Park is located at 2333 W. Sunnyside Ave. For more information call 773-728-6000

"Kids in the City" was rated one of the Top 10 children's CDs of the year by Time Out NY Kids, Dec. 2009.
9/25/09 Chicago Parent Magazine
KIDS IN THE CITY, by Laura Doherty, Laura Doherty Music, $13.99, www.lauradohertymusic.com; ages 3-7.
I also enjoy recommending new artists, especially when they are Chicago-based. If you are familiar with the early childhood Wiggleworms program at The Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago, you are already familiar with Laura Doherty. She is the director of Wiggleworms and has been teaching there f or more than 10 years.
Her new CD is wonderful and as her press materials state, this CD is for the "urban toddler," though children and parents everywhere will delight in these songs. Using Chicago as her inspiration, the CD is filled with fabulous songs about skyscrapers, the L and the zoo.
The first time I heard "Kids In The City" it reminded me of a cross between Laurie Berkner and Ella Jenkins. Pick up the CD, give a listen and see if you agree.
Sept. 2, 2009Dig this new CD from Laura Doherty, the Early Childhood Music Program Director at Chicago's famed Old Town School of Folk Music. Kids in the City is full of breezy urban folk tunes featuring the Natalie Merchant-like vibe of Doherty's vocals. Click the link to read the full review.

If there's an ultimate 12th Man, John Nordstrom just might be it. His family brought the Seahawks to Seattle, and he saved the team from moving out of town.
He's more quiet gentleman than Legion of Boom, and his name is associated more with shopping than tackling. But he's blue and green through and through. He follows the team to the VMAC, the locker room, the sidelines and now to the Super Bowl.
KING 5's Jean Enersen did an exclusive interview with John Nordstrom in his "man cave," where he shares his thoughts on the Seahawks and history with the team.
What does he think of Richard Sherman's rant?
"I love the guy"
And Marshawn Lynch?
"I even have a signed birthday card from him."
What's Nordstrom's job with the Hawks?
"I don't have one. I ask questions. I'm supportive." (When in fact some say he is the compass, the old soul of the team.)
The Nordstroms paid $11 million for the team and sold it for $80 million. It's estimated to be worth upwards of a billion dollars now.
Does Nordstrom have any regrets about selling the team? Only a little. But he says no amount of money is as good as being part of something this great.

Mitt Romney may be busy rationalizing his loss, but Republicans elsewhere are starting to come to grips with it. Some are trying to divine where the GOP went wrong and, more importantly, how to return to its once-winning ways.
But for the GOP, which has suffered stinging defeats in three of the last four election cycles, much more will be required than merely adopting a more realistic position on illegal immigration. The party needs to turn away from what Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal calls "dumbed-down conservatism."

Flechtheim Scholarship
|Number Available1
|FacultyFaculty of Education and Arts
|Father Stephen Moore
|This scholarship was established in 2006 by a legacy from the donor's maternal grandfather, Julius Flechtheim, a former professor of jurisprudence at Berlin University who died as a victim of the Holocaust in 1940. The legacy funding the scholarship was made available to Julius's grandson after the International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims in 2005 recognised the legitimacy of a life insurance policy taken out by Professor Flechtheim 70 years earlier. He was a contemporary of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who lectured on systematic theology at the same time and who was killed by the Nazis in 1945.
In their respective fields both men recognised in the upheaval of their country that true responsibility (both secular and temporal) means freedom and true freedom means responsibility.
The scholarship is offered in the hope that it will give fresh inspiration to all who are called to ask the awkward moral and ethical questions by encouraging study into the ethics of responsible action with particular reference to Bonhoeffer's theology.
Further information to assist students interested in applying for the prestigious Flechtheim Scholarship can be found here
Applicable to : Education and Arts, Theology, Ethics, Bonhoeffer, Undergraduate, Honours, Postgraduate, Research .
To be eligible to apply for this scholarship you must meet the following criteria:
|Required Documentation
If documentation is not provided your application will not be processed. Please have all required documents available for upload as PDF, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, or JPG files prior to completing the online application process.
The scholarship provides an amount of $3,000 to be paid as a lump sum. This payment is subject to participation in the Bonhoeffer Conference (31st July-1st August in 2014) and submission of a research work deemed by the Chair of the selection committee to be of suitable standard by 30 November 2014.
Completed Research Work
The completed research work should be presented in the form of a written statement of at least 1,500 words, possibly incorporating one of the topics listed in the document available at the link in ESTABLISHMENT.

MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ) - The brother of a woman who was brutally murdered in Manitowoc County says he is certain that the homicide convictions of her two killers will never be overturned.
Mike Halbach says appeals will continue for the foreseeable future – but he believes the outcomes will be similar to the previous appeals made by Steven Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey.
Last week, a state appeals court rejected a new trial for the 23-year-old Dassey, for the Halloween 2005 burning, raping, and shooting of Teresa Halbach at the Avery family's auto salvage yard.
It's one of Wisconsin's most notorious crimes, because it happened two-and-a-half years after Avery was freed from prison where he served 18 years of a rape he didn't commit. And Avery was among the first in the nation to be acquitted by DNA evidence – only to be convicted later by DNA.
Dassey's attorneys say they'll ask the State Supreme Court to overturn his conviction. A similar appeal by Avery was rejected last year by an appellate court.
The 25-year-old Halbach was at the salvage yard to photograph vehicles for Auto Trader magazine.
The 50-year-old Avery is serving a life prison term. Dassey is also sentenced for life, but he's eligible for a supervised release in about 35 years.

The Maharishi program for reading Vedic literature: Results utilizing the technology of Vedic sound in the light of Prachetana
Order No. 3130317
This dissertation documented the beneficial effects of the technology of Vedic Sound utilized in the Maharishi program for reading Vedic Literature to transform human awareness, physiology, and environment in the evolutionary direction of Natural Law.
His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has made his Vedic Science and Technologies of Consciousness (the Transcendental Meditation® technique, the TM-Sidhi® program, etc.) available throughout the world and over 600 scientific research studies have documented their benefits. The Maharishi program for reading the Vedic Literature is a Vedic Technology of Consciousness that involves specific procedures for reading verses of the Vedic Literature, not as an intellectual exercise, but as a technology of sound. Maharishi Vedic Science® identities Vedic Sound as the expression of the infinite silence and dynamism in self-referral consciousness — the Veda — that unfolds into specific frequencies of intelligence. These frequencies, expressed in the sounds of the forty branches of the Vedic Literature, embody the structure and structuring dynamics of Natural Law in self- referral consciousness responsible for the evolution of consciousness into all forms and phenomena in the universe including the human physiology.
This study on reading Vedic Literature found three areas of results of development of consciousness similar to: (1) benefits documented in the 600 scientific research studies, (2) Maharishi's descriptions of higher states of consciousness, and (3) the forty structures and structuring dynamics of Natural Law available in the 40 branches of the Vedic Literature.
These results were presented using the Prachetana Chart format from Maharishi Vedic Science as a method of verifying personal experiences of development of consciousness through three angles of knowledge: the Vedic Literature, scientific research on growth of consciousness, and scientific principles. The Prachetana format connects individual experience to all streams of knowledge available in modern science and Maharishi Vedic Science.
The research results of this program documented over three years indicate that reading the sounds of the Vedic literature trains the brain and whole physiology to function in that same sequential flow of intelligence as the structure of Vedic Sound in self-referral consciousness, resulting in the development of human potential and higher states of consciousness.

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) - A new database shows that Wisconsin nursing homes have been hit hard by gastro-intestinal illnesses over the last three years.
The national investigative reporting group Pro-Publica says at least six Wisconsin home residents died and 15-hundred residents and staffers had gastro-related illnesses. And the group says it's partially because staffers did not control spreads of the novo-virus and other diseases which are highly contagious. The database includes three years of inspection reports from almost 400 Wisconsin nursing homes and long-term care units which take federal funding – and that's almost every facility. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel analyzed the Wisconsin data, and found that over a-thousand nursing home residents and 472 staffers had gastro-intestinal illnesses in the three years listed.
The six deaths were at the Lasata Care Center in Cedarburg, where a novo-virus outbreak also hospitalized two residents and sickened 140 others in late 2010 and early 2011. Eighty staffers were affected, and only 38 residents avoided getting sick. Lasata was fined 54-hundred dollars. Deficiencies are ranked from "A" through "L" according to their severity. Only four Wisconsin nursing homes were found to have the worst category of deficiencies this year, and three were in Milwaukee – the Sunrise, Lake Terrace, and Cameo centers. The other one was the Brookfield Rehab and Specialty Center.

White Privilege 101 DVD
WP101: Getting in on the Conversation
An educational tool designed for use in the classroom, workplace, church or with family members as a way to begin talking about privilege.
We applaud your courage and leadership. Thank you for being willing to talk about White Privilege and for getting your classroom and/or organization in on the conversation. This video deals with White Privilege and other forms of institutional and systemic oppression in a direct and positive way. The video allows for viewers to engage in a productive conversation about how these complex issues saturate our society. White Privilege 101 is a collection of keynote speeches and interviews of presenters and participants from the Annual Conference on White Privilege. This video will help you identify and understand White Privilege and oppression in three phases:
Facilitator's Guide
Valerie Garr is a former journalist who is Director of Diversity Relations & Outreach in the Office of Admissions at The University of Iowa. She has been doing diversity programming and training for over 10 years with university faculty, staff, students, secondary schools, businesses and community leaders. Her journalistic background made her a great interviewer.
Adam Burke is a producer and instructor at Public Access TV in Iowa City. His expertise in the technical, practical and aesthetic aspects of filming and editing were essential to the production of the video every step of the way.
Annie Tucker is an Iowa City mediator and trainer who produced a short video on white privilege as part of her Masters degree in Conflict Resolution from Antioch in 2001.
Nancy Wright is a PhD student and instructor at the University of Iowa in the Educational Policy and Leadership Studies Program. Nancy co-created the Facilitator's Guide.
An excellent, practical and much needed resource! White Privilege 101's diverse voices and perspectives are very effective in helping white people cut through denial and guilt to look at the core issues of race and privilege. This is a powerful and insightful video that invites white people to seriously consider the consequences of their beliefs and actions. The White privilege 101 video promotes critical thinking and engagement, insight and response in white people. It needs to be widely seen. – Paul Kivel, educator and author Uprooting Racism: How White People Can Work for Racial Justice, www.paulkivel.com
I thought the video was an excellent and concise summary of the key issues relating to "white privilege" "White Privilege 101" with the accompanying workbook is an excellent catalyst for discussion as well as a teaching aide to structure the dialogue about this often neglected issue of White privilege. It will be a useful tool in educational settings, corporate environments in faith communities, civic and political settings or any environment where people work with people and the issue of race is either recognized or remains the elephant in the middle of the room. It's an excellent tool for instruction or just awakening people to the issues involved. – Na'im Akbar, Scholar and Author - www.mindpro.com
The recently released DVD, White Privilege 101, is a marvelous introduction to the topic and a resource for all those who work in multicultural education and diversity. Featuring participants at the only white privilege conference in the country, viewers see young people, as well as established practitioners, and educators sharing the conversation that brings us together to fight oppression. I will use it in the classroom, as well as at diversity workshops in organizations. It teaches, it motivates, it encourages continued action, and it is an invitation to all to come in person to be part of the community. – Laurie B. Lippin, Ph.D.,Professor, UC Davis, and Consultant, Lippin & Associates
I believe that there is no more important area of exploration at this time in the United States and even the world than that of white skin privilege. In order have this important discussion we must listen to the voices of people of color and white people concerned with social justice telling their stories, expressing their ideas, describing their worlds. White Privilege 101 DVD and its accompanying booklet are perfect for getting such a discussion going, for making real plans for change and for generating activism in the areas of racial, class and gender equity. I have used many visual aids and videos over the years of my work in inclusiveness and diversity in education and this is by far the best. It accomplishes so much in 42 minutes toward creating awareness on the part of those new to these concepts and a deeper understanding on the part of those already engaged in this work. It is essential for every school, business, university and social agency. – Julie Landsman, Educator and Author of A White Teacher Talks About Race and White Teachers/Diverse Classrooms with Chance Lewis

General Economic Information
There is no doubt that the Australian Economy is slowing. Growth is easing, inflation is on the rise, consumer sentiment is falling, interest rates are high, the Australian dollar is at 25 year highs, retail sales are weakening, and building approvals are dropping - not to mention what is happening on the Stock Market.
Demand for Labour is still strong however, although according to the Reserve Bank of Australia "a moderation in employment growth could be expected soon".
On the upside, the strength of the Australian Mining / Commodities sector, driven by demand from China and India, along with the income tax cuts, should help insulate the economy from recession. The main danger here though is that both these factors could have the effect of actually accelerating growth, particularly if petrol prices and financial markets return to "normality" - meaning that Inflation may rise further and therefore Interest Rates to put the breaks on.
There is even some speculation that a "duel economy" may develop in Australia over the coming years, with those businesses involved in Mining and Energy continuing to boom, with other sectors possibly slipping into recession - particularly agriculture and manufacturing.
Indications at this stage point to the Australian economy contracting but still continuing to grow. Gross Domestic Product is tipped to fall from 4.3% in 2007 to around 3% in both 2008 and 2009 - still a strong economy in anyone's language.
International Markets
Things internationally are looking rather gloomy to say the least - particularly in the Developed World. The United States, United Kingdom and New Zealand all appear headed for recession, along with slowing economic activity in the European Union and Japan. Global Growth over the last 4 years however has been driven by Emerging Economies, in particular China, India, Latin America and Eastern Europe. These Emerging Economies grew by a staggering 7.5% on average, compared to the rather more sedate 2.5% of the Developed World.
Inflation is rising worldwide, with forecasts indicating Global Inflation could hit 4.9% during 2008. This provides something of a dilemma for Central Banks around the world - increase rates to slow inflation but risk recession or decrease rates to stimulate the economy but risk inflation becoming rampant.
One further black cloud on the horizon is China - particularly with respect to levels of activity following the Beijing Olympics. History tells us that countries hosting an Olympic Games go through rapid growth in the run up to the games due to heavy investment in infrastructure, but that activity slows considerably after the event. Chinese growth is certainly tipped to moderate in the coming years down from almost 12% to around 10% by 2009, whether the Olympic Hangover will effect this further remains to be seen.
Share Market
The "Running of the Bulls" is officially over and there is now a "Bear in there" - to put things simply. The share market has had its worst full year result in 26 years with a fall of approximately 17% by the end of June 08. Those sectors of the market most effected were Consumer Discretionary (down 43%), Industrials (down 37%), Financials (down 35%) and Utilities (down 32%). On the flipside Energy stocks rallied 35% in 07/08, whilst Materials also grew 18%.
There seems to be no end to the gloom, with markets becoming increasingly pessimistic as false dawns are followed by further falls. Market Sentiment is the major enemy here, once that turns, logic should replace hysteria - and not even Warren Buffet knows when that will happen.
The property market has been hot over the past 6 years or so. In fact it has been the biggest property investment boom since the 1980's. Non-residential investment has grown at an average of almost 12% during this period. That said domestic economic and property market sentiment have plummeted in recent months driven by the global credit crisis, which is described by the International Monetary Fund to be "the largest financial shock since the Great Depression".
The credit crunch, and the tightening of the worldwide availability of credit, has resulted in a number of major property owners being forced into asset sales - often where there has been pressure from banks to reduce the level of gearing. These forced sales raise the prospect of the market slumping significantly.
Concerning also is a recent IMF statement indicating "Credit quality across many loan classes has begun to deteriorate with declining house prices and slowing economic growth".
Until recently however, investment intentions still remained positive, with a large amount of work already in the pipeline. Total engineering construction work committed but yet to be done as of the end of March 2008 stood at over $50B - indicating that there is some strength here.
The major problem confronting the industry at this stage is what effect the tightening in credit availability will have on new building starts - which anecdotal evidence suggests is having a major impact.
Institutional Projects
The outlook for institutional projects looks positive. State and Territory governments have started spending additional dollars on projects ranging from transportation and water infrastructure through to health and educational projects. Total State Government spending is tipped to increase to $49B in the 2008 / 09 financial year - the bulk of this being in Queensland.
In New South Wales the Capital works budget for the coming year is set at almost $14B, with $57B to be spent over the next 4 years. This increase coincides with the Commonwealth Government focussing on upgrading the nations infrastructure through the development of the funds, the Building Australia Fund (Transport and Communications), the Education Investment Fund (Higher and Vocational Education) and the Health and Hospitals Fund (Health Facilities). These funds will provide $40B worth of future capital investment in infrastructure.
Residential Property
Housing markets around the world are slumping, with prices in the USA down 20% from their peak and the UK down 6.3% with possibly more to come. Dwelling approvals are down 8.1% in Australia, 60% in the USA and 45% in the UK. Given that the housing boom in Australia has been stronger and longer than both the USA and the UK, a fall here, should it eventuate, could be quite dramatic
On the positive side, the Reserve Bank of Australia's tightening of monetary policy over the past 6 years may actually have prevented the housing market from over-heating and therefore negated the prospects of collapse here.
Housing construction levels here have been well below long term averages over the past few years, which coupled with National Population growth at it's highest levels since the late 1980's, has resulted in a serious under supply in housing stock pushing up both prices and rents. This under supply could actually result in a substantial surge in house prices when conditions (economic and interest rates) start to improve.
Until recently Economists were predicting a further possible interest rate rise prior to Christmas, however the most recent economic data released (particularly Retail Sales data) has increased the likelihood that interest rates have actually peaked and that they are more likely to be eased over the coming months before easing further in 2009.
Retail Property
Uncertainty and lower consumer sentiment typically translate into lower discretionary spending, which along with slower economic growth and more difficult credit conditions should result in a slow down in retail construction in the coming months.
Approvals data also suggests that after a huge increase during 2007, driven by expansion / refurbishment of suburban shopping centres and regional retail development, construction levels will contract during 2008.
The Tax Cuts in 2006 and 2007, whilst also offsetting the interest rate rises, also drove a rebound in consumer spending in the latter half of those years. This along with low unemployment levels and continued wages growth, sets up the prospect that retail spending could bounce back in early 2009.
Industrial Property
Has been one of the busier sectors of the market over the past few years. This has been despite pressures on the manufacturing sector due to intense import competition and a high Australian dollar. This has dramatically altered the Industrial Property landscape with demand for factory space declining steadily, however this has been more than offset by an increase in demand for warehousing space during the same period.
There has also been a dramatic influx in money flowing into the commercial industrial sector over the past few years. Industrial vacancy rates have been very low at approximately 0.8%, which has been the lowest of any commercial property sector.
Again the fundamentals of the sector remain sound, however tightening credit conditions and the drop in business confidence, along with possible falling asset prices, could result in this sector flattening considerably in the short term.
Tourism / Hospitality Projects
The Hospitality sector continues to perform strongly, with high demand from local and international clients. Indeed the bulk of activity seems to be driven out of the UAE, India and Asia, however building approval data suggests that local construction activity should also increase over the latter half of this year due to low vacancy rates and increasing visitor arrivals.
The domestic travel market should remain strong as people elect to take local holidays rather than expensive international holidays, however there may be some decrease in business expenditure on travel, corporate getaways, and the like as business confidence erodes and corporate purse strings tighten accordingly. Anecdotal evidence suggests that this may be happening already.
Commercial Property
There is little doubt that the commercial property market will be in for a much tougher time in 2008, with some commentators actually predicting a major collapse. CBD office vacancies had fallen to their lowest levels in almost two decades earlier in the year, however softening economic conditions coming at a time when more new building stock is coming onto the market could result in significant price falls. Prime commercial stock should maintain relatively low vacancy rates, however lower grade stock may be in for a bumpy ride.
Employment Market
There is no doubt that the heat has come off the market here in the past 3-4 months or so. Total positions listed have dropped approximately 35-40% during this period - but to put this into perspective, positions listed are still approximately 50% above what we would call a good market.
What this means in reality, is that the market is still a very tight market. Good staff are hard to come by, and this will not change in the short term. Very few practices are being forced to reduce staff numbers, and the majority of practices still remain confident that the market will bounce back sooner rather than later. In fact anecdotal evidence is suggesting that a small number of practices are "hoarding" quality staff rather than reducing numbers due to the perceived difficulty in replacing them when the market improves again.
The bulk of the fall has occurred in the Architectural Sector, with the position composition moving heavily away from documentation based roles and again focussing on highly talented mid-level staff. The Interiors Sector remains relatively buoyant, generally speaking. Activity across corporate, retail and hospitality seemingly the main drivers.
At this stage indications are that overall hiring intentions will remain positive, candidates will remain in short supply, wages will continue to increase (although at a slower pace), however there could be some ups and downs before the market starts to improve, possibly in the first half of 2009.

The South Carolina Budget and Control Board unanimously
approved Wednesday morning a plan to get bids from ID theft protection
companies to provide additional protection for state taxpayers. Consultants
that have been studying the state's computer security also made recommendations
on what's working, and what needs to be improved, to better protect your
personal information that's in state computers.
The state wants ID theft protection companies to provide
service for up to five years. If possible, the state wants to be able to
automatically transfer those people who've already signed up for the free year
of credit monitoring that the state is providing into the new service. The
request for proposals will also ask if the companies can come up with a way
that the state Department of Revenue can automatically enroll the taxpayers
whose information was stolen, rather than requiring the taxpayers to sign up on
their own.
Gov. Nikki Haley said after the meeting, "When the hacking first happened, the
goal we had was how do we protect people quickly? We partnered with Experian to
get us a year in. Now we're sitting back saying, now what do we have to do to
keep people protected at the highest degree?"
She wants the new
service in place before the current year of credit monitoring runs out.
Consultant group
Deloitte and Touche told the board that the state does have some systems and
safeguards in place that are working well. Those include the Division of State
Information Technology monitoring state agencies' computers around the clock
for signs of hacking, and the Department of Revenue requiring employees to use
two-factor authentication to sign in to agency computers. Two-factor
authentication requires employees to sign in with their name and password, but
also a six-digit code that changes every 60 seconds.
However, the consultants said since the state's agencies all
operate independently, there's no consistency, making it hard to have strong
computer security. It's recommending a more centralized system under a new
statewide Information Security Division. Those changes, along with improvements
to the state's computer hardware and software and additional training for
employees, would cost about $15 million the first year and about $7 million a
year after that.
