"Gourmet" inmate meal, as shown to me by the lovely ladies at the Williamson County (TN) Jail, "recipe" is as follows..... 1 pkg ramen noodles and seasoning pack (preferably chili flavor)- crushed, 1 "$0.99" size bag of cheetos (preferably "japaleno")- crushed, 1/4 "meat stick"- cut into small pieces, 1 cheese stick- small pieces. Combine all ingredients in a commissary issued tumbler and shake to mix. Add enough hot water to cover and stir, pour into the cheeto bag and let sit for 5 minutes. Carefully open the bag at the seam, top with mayo or ranch packet and ENJOY!
"Hey girl, you got any Cheetos?"
"Yeah, what's up, you hungry?"
"Damn right, this county food is bullshit, let's make a spread"

Learning Fedena teaches professors how to collaborate | Opensource.com
Learning Fedena teaches professors how to collaborate
This academic year was my first year as assistant professor in the ISIGK (المعهد العالي للإعلامية و التصرف بالقيروان | Tunisia). I enjoy teaching in this institute and being in Kairouan for many personal and professional reasons. Here I will talk about the benefits of using Fedena, a School Management Software (SMS), in the ISIGK (Higher Institute of Computer Science and Management of Kairouan).
Whereas this institute is specialized in computer science, the majority of managements tasks are done manually. This makes creating timetables and tracking students arduous tasks that could be automated by customizing Fedena thanks to its open source nature.
The academic and administrative teams could cooperate in this process of customization. These two teams have different backgrounds and skills, but by cooperating together they could produce innovative ideas. They could participate by coding or proposing ideas.
By customizing Fedena instead of creating a SMS from scratch, we could get software beneficial for the everyone--and in record time. In addition, we can get it free of charge, which is very interesting especially at this period when the economy of Tunisia isn't healthy.
Most importantly, Fedena will give academic and the administrative teams the oppotunity to communicate by working on that project. The communication between these two teams is important for achieving the academic goal of spreading knowledge and education. In the ISIGK, some negative prejudices make this communication problematic and difficult, creating a gap between the two teams.
The communication problem has an impact on the atmosphere within the ISIGK. The problem was amplified in the period that preceded the Arab Spring. During that period, where freedom of speech was limited, communication was difficult with anyone.
Now, we are at the post-revolution period. It's time for the the academic and the administrative teams to leave the prejudices behind them and to start working together. By participating on this customization project they will form one group; everyone will be part of that group and feel accepted by its members.
Students could also be part of the group by doing some customizations. For example, the students could gain knowledge of the Ruby on Rails framework in order to realize its potential for customization. Ruby on Rails isn't included in their curriculum, however, the students could master this framework quickly thanks to many free web resources. This gives them the possibility to work on real problems and the opportunity to discover the open source world and all its benefits.

This is very awesome! One of my professors develops a CMS called Expertiza, and for his class in Object Oriented Systems, many of the class projects give students the option of adding features to or refactoring the codebase for the CMS they use on a daily basis.
One of the biggest advantages to customizing an open-source tool is that the users who are familiar with it already have their workflow in mind. This makes implementing changes easier (since the developers know how the tool behaves) but it also makes deploying them easier (no need for extensive re-training). In my example, students are prime candidates to make changes since they know how their CMS operates from a user's side. In your example, the same is true for the professors who work with their SMS.
This is a great article. 90% of Fedena downloads are happening from developing nations of Africa, Asia and South America.
The number one priority while developing fedena was to make sure it is optimized for customization. It is simply because of the reason that the schools and colleges around the world has different system and process even if they are coming from same geographic area.
Fedena is a student information system framework on top of which you can build the perfect erp for your institution.

The two full-time employees promised for the region after the Canadian government closed its consulate in downtown Buffalo in August have started working in an office on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
The employees – Linda Soltis, a trade commissioner, and Rachael Homewood, a foreign policy and diplomacy service officer – started work earlier this month in the Thomas R. Beecher Jr. Innovation Center. They report to the Consulate General in New York City, according to Chris Plunkett, a spokesman for the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C.
The Canadians agreed to hire the workers after elected officials and members of the Western New York business community protested Ottawa's decision to close the Buffalo consulate, which employed 75 people and took up two floors of One HSBC Center.
"The closure of the Canadian Consulate in Buffalo was a real threat to commerce and security between Canada and the U.S. And, while a full reversal of this decision would have been smartest and most productive, a continued presence in Buffalo is an important victory for Western New York businesses and residents alike," said U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., in a statement. He had joined in lobbying the Canadian government to maintain a presence in Buffalo.
The new employees started work eight months after Canadian officials announced they planned to close the Buffalo consulate because of budget cuts and a shift in immigration policy. The policy now allows foreign nationals living in Southern Ontario to make changes to their visas online instead of at the facility in Buffalo.
The Canadians moved ahead with the consulate's closure, over the objections of local political and business leaders, but agreed in August to hire two employees to provide some of the services once offered by the Buffalo consulate.
The Canadian government posted the two job openings on Oct. 10. Both positions have starting salaries of $84,569 per year. Soltis previously worked at the consulate in Buffalo.
"Their main responsibilities are working with regional authorities and communities in strengthening border cooperation and business development," Plunkett, the embassy spokesman, said in an email.

Do you think that Kiano Reaves with be good or bad in this movie and should they even make one
they could probably make the movie but i don't see keanu as spike. i wish hollywood would get over its sudden obssession of anime and quit making them into bad movies.
I dont think it will be as bad as the dragon ball movie but since most adaults and teens watch it it might be good But they can't put keanu in as spike....... I would laugh if they put Sean Connery as that guy with the metal arm Zombaukto Clan is cool Join
sean connery as jet? u could do alot worse, sean connery is a good actor but i don't think jet is scottish. maybe bruce willis as jet. not sure who should be spike, kelly hu might be good as faye. who would play vicious?
I dont know I would have picked that guy who played the joker in the dark night but he's dead so I dont know who Zombaukto Clan is cool Join
i don't think heath ledger would have been a good vicious. vicious is the same age as spike, 27, but he seems much older because of his steely face and his silver hair. we'd need someone who can pull off the look.
I dont know We need someone that looks like he has no emotion and how are they going to pull off the hair color thing Zombaukto Clan is cool Join
Yay somebody who agrees!! I understand that they make money but really they make huge amounts of mistakes that make the movies terrible to somebody familiar with the material. They (animes butchered into live action films) were fine as they were; Hollywood needs to leave them the way they found them in my opinion. Love... is just a different kind of pain.
i think that they could pull it off if they do it right and i realy do not see kiano reaves has spike he just doe's not sem to me any way like he could play spike at all .
it would still be so cool if they could do it that would be kicking hahahaha.

Hi:) I read some anime, but I have never really seen any movies... so just wanted to ask: do you know some good ones you just have to see? :)
Ghost in the Shell, Karas, Akira, Spirited Away, Princess Mononokke. 92% of the teenage population would be dead if Ambercrombie and Fitch or Hollister said it was uncool to breathe.
You're welcome. just ask if you need more, but that should keep you busy for a bit. 92% of the teenage population would be dead if Ambercrombie and Fitch or Hollister said it was uncool to breathe.
I would also recommend Applesee and some of the inuyasha movies. "You will See, in Time you shall walk the same path as I"
but I will go with the Inuyasha Movies/films ~ The True User Of Mangekyō Sharingan 12,000 points ~
The fact is i can only tempt you with which movies to view... Final Fantasy Advent Children.. Applesed 1 and 2... Vexille.. Escaflowne(although it is slow it was worth a view in my book...)The path to conquest leaves nothing else to be desired!!!!
neon genesis evangelion death and rebirth, the end of evangelion, ninja scroll, ghost in the shell, cowboybebop are pretty good there are alot of good anime films. "You know what you have to admire? A Catholic hit man who blesses himself just before he strangles someone."-George Carlin
they are good
"Read or Die" is one of my favorites. I highly recommend it. ^_^ Those who wander are not always lost.
i have never seen it but im going to have to check it out
I have seen Tron legacy movie few days before, Just try to Watch Tron Legacy Movie, Its wonderful flick.
Afro Samurai Resurrection-Vampire Hunter D-Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust.......I believe must sees..... <~I don't ever want to just exist. I want to Live. I'm starving for more~>

Maui retailers are optimistic about holiday season sales, with stores saying they already are seeing an "uptick" in business this month and feeling that customers are more confident about spending.
"I think sales are going to be up this season," said local retailer Lisa Payne, who owns three shops, two in Lahaina and the other in Makawao. "We have started off very strong at the first part of this year."
"With the election being over, I think people are feeling a little more confident in their spending. I think it's going to be a good holiday," said Payne, who runs apparel, gifts and furnishing stores Hale Zen in Lahaina and Designing Wahine Emporium in Makawao. She also has a new furniture warehouse showroom in Lahaina.

My Sister's Closet Manager Leziel Arcala prepares price tags for the store's Black Friday sale. Arcala and Assistant Manager Emily Cantorna have been setting up for the sale since Saturday. The store will be opening the space next door, which will hold select items for $5 to $25 each. It will be the first time they open the space for shopping.
The Maui News / CHRIS SUGIDONO photo
At My Sister's Closet Hawaii, a clothing store for women and teens, owner Nikki Nguyen said she has started "to see a little uptick" this month in customer traffic and business at her store in the Maui Mall.
"We are noticing people are shopping in the stores more often. We are hoping it continues, and it continues into the next couple of weeks," she said.
The Maui retailers have a reason to be optimistic. The National Retail Federation said that though there still may be political and fiscal uncertainties, it believes that there is improvement in consumer confidence. The federation predicts that holiday sales will increase 4.1 percent to $586.1 billion this year.
NRF's holiday forecast is higher than the 10-year average annual holiday sales increase of 3.5 percent. Holiday sales in 2011 grew 5.6 percent from the previous year.
Some national retailers were trying to scoop up sales before Thanksgiving. American Eagle, a national teen-to-young-adult clothing retailer with a store at Queen Ka'ahumanu Center, was offering 40 percent off items at its stores Wednesday.
On Thanksgiving, retailers such as Kmart will be open as they have for years. Walmart will be open with "Black Friday" specials beginning at 8 tonight, workers said this week. Sears at Queen Ka'ahumanu Center also will open at 8 tonight, with Macy's and nearly a dozen other stores at the shopping center opening at midnight, a mall official said.
For Maui Extreme Toys owner Maron Aoki, he's hoping for the best now that he has moved from the Maui Mall to Queen Ka'ahumanu Center this year. The larger mall has more foot traffic, but the seller of unique toys said that he is not doing as well at the Ka'ahumanu mall. He said that he is unable to sell some types of merchandise that he did at Maui Mall and that there is a lot more competition.
He claims that other retailers are mimicking the types of items he has in his store.
On the plus side, Aoki did take note of the largely nonexistent foot traffic at the Maui Mall on Black Friday - the day after Thanksgiving when retailers hope sales will put them in the "black." There should be more customers at his new home this Black Friday. He believes that those customers will probably shop at the larger retailers before hitting his toy store that is inside his sister's store, Party Paradise, at the Sears end of the mall.
Aoki hopes that his unique Japan anime toys along with his staples, such as milk covers, marbles and yo-yos, will attract customers. He's offering a special to entice customers Friday. Shoppers can get a Mario backpack for $5 if they spend at least $25. If customers spend $50, they can get the backpack for free, he said.
Nguyen has specials this week as well. She has leased vacant storefront space next to her store at the Maui Mall to do a "door buster deal sale" Friday to Sunday. She said she is doing $5, $15 and $20 types of deals on bags, shoes and accessories.
"We are marking it down," she said, adding that the store has a lot of inventory it wants to move to bring in new things.
On Wednesday, workers were busy labeling clothes and setting up the vacant space. This weekend, there will be specials in her regular store as well, and she will run her 12 days of Christmas promotion from Dec. 7 to18, where there will be a special every day. Nguyen said this will be her third year of running her 12 days of Christmas special. Last year, her sales during that 12-day promotion were up almost 50 percent from the first year she rolled out the concept.
"Hopefully, we can see another 50 percent increase in our promotion this year," she said.
In Makawao and Lahaina, Payne sees that visitors, especially those from Canada, are opening up their wallets.
"We are seeing a big influx of Canadian shoppers," she said.
Payne believes that since Canada's economy "is a bit more stable and stronger than ours, they are spending like I've never seen them spend before."
She also believes that Mainland travelers still think that Hawaii is a good place to be and will come to the islands rather than go to a foreign country.
"It's really going to be a positive impact on our economy here," she said.
Payne's customer base is made up of a mix of locals, visitors and part-time Maui residents, or "snowbirds," who come here during the winter.
Payne also gives out kamaaina discounts.
She said last year's holiday sales were "good" and were probably 5 percent higher than the year before.
"I think it's going to be a stronger holiday season than last year," she said.

Organizers evaluating 'Mudder' recurrence
April 24, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Organizers of last weekend's Mid-Atlantic Tough Mudder endurance challenge — which included the death of a 28-year-old man who'd come from Maryland to participate — are now assessing......
I don't make that call. Possibly the TM should say a portion of the profits go to WW. Nice reference though SME. Have no idea where you came up with that one but nice. Dennis Miller would be proud.

Maj, you are famous. You made the printed Journal Junction and I only wish I would have made that call. I never said "leftist" charities (whatever they are) were perfect. My point once again is there must be others profiting heavily. And again that is great, as long as you do not make it seem that WW is getting all the $.

McCulloch said "But I do like this event, what it stands for and how it benefits the Wounded Warrior Project. ...camaraderie is a big part of it and the goodness that teammates show to one another. I think it says a lot that we had thousands of people here and no problems to speak of. It says a lot about the kind of people who participate," he said.
This reeks.

What do you accomplish by running through cold mud water besides getting cold wet and dirty its just pointless,I hope the insurance companies find out who is joining things like this and cancels their policy,why should they have to cover stupidity, all the air gaurd and other government employees that get hurt in this we have to foot the bill as taxpayers.

This event is challenging and fun. I haven't participated in the Tough Mudder, but I have done the Warrior Dash. Participation is not forced upon us. We choose to do it for the challenge, and when we make that choice, we accept the risk. The death was unfortunate and very sad, but we have to move forward.

I competed in this event on a team and I personally know several people that also competed. At no point in the course did I feel my life was in danger. Was it hard? Yes. Did it challenge me physically and mentally? Sure. This wasn't my first and it won't be my last. Dear Lord, PLEASE stop trying to tell me whats "best" for me. I signed the waiver, I took the risk. Was his death unfortunate? Of course. Is it a need to stop the events? NO. People die in marathons every year. Nothing said about that. When will it end, when all we can do is walk in our bubble? Oh, wait....sitting on the couch geting FAT is safe, right? No? Well damn...

Follow Einstein's math. He's right. Somebody's making a killing.
I wonder if the Wounded Warrior Project is donating anything back to the families of the killed and wounded of this event...After all the participants were every bit as patriotic as the troops, weren't they?
BTW Bulldog, what is the opposite of "pussification"? Greedification? And if challenging an unnecessary death, or one caused by the failure to properly design or maintain a facility of any kind, qualifies as pussification, then meooow...

My point is many of my friends who did this say they don't mind paying the high entrance fee because it is almost like a donation. They say all of the profits go to WW. I am saying doing the math that others are making big money. That is great, just don't make it sound like they are giving it all to WW.

Einstein, although they are perhaps making a bit more off of this than they may advertise, there are two things I consider in that though. First and most simple, it hasn't always been that high of an entry fee. Second, these things cost a TON to put on. They do have volunteers, but they also have engineers and crews to design and construct each and every obstacle, transportation of those obstacles, leasing land for the event and parking, bus/driver leasing, insurance, payments to local governments for permits and support, the list goes on and on.

Einstein: You may as give the average height and weight of the participants. What's your point?

Lets do the math on the 750,000 number we keep hearing in regards to what they have reportedly given to Wounded Warriors. At $150 a pop to enter that equals 112 million. They say they have given $5 million to WW. I realize there is overhead but not $100 million to put on 50 events. And this does not include what they make off spectators and selling memorabilia.

I absolutely loved this course and want to redo my class like this course! There were many ideas I could immediately implement! I thought it was very easy to understand, and it made sense! Thank you so much!
This course came at the right time in my career. After 17 years in the classroom, I'm feeling teacher burn out more than ever before (mainly because of the many curriculum changes in my state over the course of my career). After taking this course, I feel a little less stressed about the road ahead. I plan on implementing many of the strategies that were addressed in this course to ease the next transition to the new common core curriculum. Thank you!
I have been teaching teachers about DI for quite some time so I feel like I have a pretty good background on it. This course was helpful in teaching me some other things I didn't know, such as anchor charts and various formative assessments as well as quick grading tips.
I enjoyed this course because it provided feasible assessment ideas for any classroom. I can walk away from this course with new ideas on how to assess my students without eating up a lot of instructional time. There are also ideas on how to streamline grading so that teachers don't get burned out! Thank you for the great ideas and real world solutions.
This has been one of the most useful courses I have taken for practical application to the classroom. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you Cheryl for your insight, encouragement and great ideas for the classroom.
This course was extremely useful for me. I know that formative and summative assessment is the key to increased student achievement and now I understand how to use them. I learned so many techniques and new ideas for my classroom. I am looking forward to the next school year already and summer vacation is starting in two days. Thank You!
I really liked the content. It will be very useful in my work and with my staff. I am already planning my PDs for the fall. Another very positive factor was the almost immediate feedback that I received from the instructor. I have taken many classes and most are not as timely with their replies.
I am going to highly recommend this course to my fellow teachers. I took this class as a "refresher" and thought it might be redundant, dated,or even boring. However, I was mistaken! I learned several new strategies that I was able to adapt immediately to help with review for the EOC...I am looking forward to revitalizing my curriculum this summer utilizing new rubric formats, new vocabulary activities, and new assessment strategies(Quick Check, KUD chart,etc). And I have summer time to leisurely tweak my lesson plans, at my own pace. Thank you!
I learned so many practical ways to improve my assessments. I am excited about fine-tuning my formative assessments. I loved your class! I took lots of notes on helpful information and made copies of many pages. The book recommendations and the lesson - Checking for Understanding and Classroom Assessment and Grading That Work - are two must-haves for me. Thank you!
Cheryl is an amazing communicator and instructor. She gets 100% for her well taught course. Of all my educational courses, I believe this is the most empowering information I have ever learned. This will assist me in helping each student in my class to successfully increase his/her performance…I am grateful to Cheryl for enlightening me and helping me obtain these valuable educational tools. This was my first online class. I surprisingly learned much more than in a PLU class held onsite. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity!

Google Inc. (GOOG)
has a way of pulling rabbits out of a hat when it comes to defending itself
from seemingly impending legal demise. Not long ago it defeated cable
giant Viacom, Inc. (VNV)
in a $1B USD court battle, when it proved that Viacom employees had secretly
uploaded files to YouTube to try to frame it in infringement.
Now, a bombshell piece of evidence has just been
delivered in the company's $2.6B USD court battle with Oracle Corp. (ORCL),
which threatens to be equally damaging to the rival software makers' intellectual
property infringement claims.
I. Sun CEO: "Pleased" to Welcome
Android to the Java Family
Oracle's guiding premise in its lawsuit against
Google is that Google infringed upon Java patents, which it obtained when it purchased
Sun Microsystems in January 2010. Just days ago, a judge ruled that
Google appeared "brazen"
in its alleged infringement based on email evidence Oracle presented.
Now a lost internet treasure has surfaced that
promises to cast those emails in a whole new light. Legal site Groklaw has unearthed a Sun
Microsystems blog dating back to 2007 that offers an explosive revelation --
Sun appears to have verbally endorsed Google's use of mobile Java in Android.
In the blog former Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz
I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of others from Sun in
offering my heartfelt congratulations to Google on the announcement of their
new Java/Linux platform, Android. Congratulations!
I'd also like Sun to be the first platform software company to commit to a
complete developer environment around the platform, as we throw Sun's NetBeans
developer platform for mobile devices behind the effort. We've obviously done a
ton of work to support developers on all Java based platforms, and were pleased
to add Google's Android to the list.
And needless to say, Google and the Open Handset Alliance just strapped another
set of rockets to the community's momentum - and to the vision defining
opportunity across our (and other) planets.
Today is an incredible day for the open source community, and a massive
endorsement of two of the industry's most prolific free software communities,
Java and Linux.

Java and Linux.
That warm, glowing message stands in sharp
contrast to Oracle's claims that Sun forbid Google from using the Apache
distribution of Java, which formally hadn't passed the testing (and fees)
required to gain a full license to Java's intellectual property.
Coincidentally, Oracle appears to have
conveniently deleted the blog from Sun's web servers. But unfortunately
for Oracle, it lived on in web history caches.
II. A Growing Picture: Oracle Double-Crossed
A compelling case is emerging for so-called
"reliance based estoppel". Here's how this works. If one
company says something to another (say that they aren't going to enforce a
particular piece of intellectual property) -- and then they turn around and sue
that company after they relied on their advice, that is sufficient to typically
drop the case if the accused can prove it was relying on the plaintiff's
In this case Google is building a strong case to
prove that it relied on Sun's assurances that it would not litigate with
regards to the use of Java. Mr. Schwartz has already given a sworn
deposition that he publicly stated that Android was a "pair of rockets
strapped to Java that will take our Java-community even higher."
The newly found blog paints an even clearer
picture that Sun endorsed Google's use of Java -- something Oracle refutes.
First, a bit of clarification is necessary.
PC Java is totally open source under the Gnu Public License (GPL).
You can modify it; you can use it in commercial products; you can do
virtually whatever you want with it. Mobile Java implementations are
covered under a different licensing scheme, though -- and are not freely
commercially available. This is why the Apache version that Google used
in Android technically may have been in violation of Sun's intellectual
property rights.
However, that's a moot point if Sun verbally
permitted Google to use it. After all, intellectual property rights are
only as binding as the company's desire to enforce it.
Oracle will likely try to bar this evidence from
court. Presiding U.S. District Court Judge
William Alsup is already chastising Oracle for trying to block
evidence. He wrote, "The big companies do not own the U.S. District
Court, When it comes to a public hearing I'm not going to resort to Morse code
to figure out what you are saying This is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Oracle. Nobody is going to put my word under seal even if I refer to your
secret documents."
Ultimately, any damages awarded will likely come
from a jury trial. Oracle will likely have a tough time proving that
Google committed "unauthorized" infringement and owes it billions in
damages -- when the original IP owner Sun was glowingly promoting Google's use
just years earlier.
If it can't exclude the evidence, Oracle will
likely argue either than Mr. Schwartz wasn't speaking on behalf of Sun (a hard
sell given that it was on a corporate blog) or that Sun wasn't fully aware of
the extent of Google's enforcement (again, hard to believe, plus it would be
unclear if this would help nullify the estoppel).
Oracle's most compelling piece of evidence --
Android chief Andy Rubin's 2005 email:
If Sun doesn't want to work with us, we have two options: 1) Abandon
our work and adopt MSFT CLR VM and C# language - or - 2) Do Java anyway and
defend our decision, perhaps making enemies along the way
Now that evidence appears pretty weak as it is
cast in speculative light -- not an actual plan of infringement. In the
end Sun did want to work with
Google, so it appears to have been led to believe it didn't have to make that
III. What's Left?
The real question is -- what happens next?
Even if Google defeats Oracle, that doesn't mean that it can use Java
forever. In fact, now that Oracle has expressly forbidden it, even if it
wins the case it still may be forced to modify its operating system or seek a
license from Oracle. In that regard Oracle may lose -- but still win.
The case stands as a warning to the open source
movement. Oracle came in all smiles and promises, but once it had sealed
the acquisition deal, CEO Larry Ellison appears to have delighted in getting
his hands dirty turning the open source movement's own intellectual property
against it.
Now that property is in the hands of Oracle.
Of course the expiration for most U.S. patents is 20 years -- so Google
will eventually be free of Oracle. In the meantime, expect it to continue
to fight Oracle's rights to this IP and fight for copyright reform.
Google's handset partners are currently facing
similar licensing pressure [1][2]
from Microsoft Corp. (MSFT),
albeit without the lawsuit. They also face multiple lawsuits from
gadget-maker Apple, Inc. (AAPL)
who has attacked the world's top three Android manufacturers [1][2][3][4][5],
but has thus far avoided going after Google directly.
Perhaps that's an inevitable reality for the
world's biggest smart phone maker and arguably the world's most successful open
source project.
quote: The first, a 2005 message from Rubin to Larry Page in which Rubin says his team is "making Java central to Android" and proposes that the company "take a license." The second, this email from Google engineer Tim Lindholm (who was previously a senior Java engineer at Sun) to Rubin in August of 2010:"What we've actually been asked to do (by Larry and Sergey) is to investigate what technical alternatives exist to Java for Android and Chrome. We've been over a bunch of these, and think they all suck. We conclude that we need to negotiate a license for Java under the terms we need."As Alsup told Oracle's attorneys moments after reading it in open court, "That's a pretty good document for you. That ought to be … big for you at the trial."Indeed — particularly if Rubin has to explain it on the stand."You know what they used to say about Joe Alioto," Alsup said, referring to the successful antitrust attorney. "In a big case like this, he only needed two documents: He needed a document like this, the one I just read, and the Magna Carta. And he won every case. And you are going to be on the losing end of this document with Andy Rubin on the stand. … If willful infringement is found, there are profound implications for a permanent injunction. So you better think about that."

The Stetson football team will conclude its second week of training camp with a scrimmage on Saturday morning at the Athletics Training Center. The scrimmage is scheduled for a 9 a.m. start.
The scrimmage will come at the end of what was a grueling week of work for the Hatters. With high temperatures and humidity, the Stetson team had three two-a-day practices, but it was the days with single sessions that proved to be the toughest.
"The two-a-days actually aren't so bad because the practices are shorter and it hasn't been as hot," head coach Roger Hughes said. "The one-a-day practices have been really tough because they are in the heat of the afternoon. We purposely scheduled them for the afternoon because that is when most of our games will be played. With heat indexes over 100 degrees, I thought the kids handled it well."
The heavy work load through the week has helped the coaches begin the process of building a depth chart for the season. Finding all of the right guys to fit onto that chart, especially with strict travel limits for road games, will be a primary focus on Saturday.
"The scrimmage is going give us a lot of evaluation," Hughes said. "We have made some preliminary evaluations of the team. We have also told the team that the travel squad is 56 and guys are fighting to get on that list. This is going to be a big step toward solidifying the two-deep."
Much of the reason the two-deep has been slow to evolve is that the team did not come into camp in great shape, meaning valuable practice has been devoted to conditioning. The second by-product of conditioning is that several players who are expected to be major contributors have missed time with nagging injuries.
"We didn't come into camp in great shape and we are paying the price with nagging injuries that have kept out some of the kids that we think have a chance to be really good," Hughes said. "They just haven't practiced that much, and that is pretty frustrating when you are trying to figure out what kind of team you are going to be and what you are going to do on both sides of the ball when you don't have the guys you think will help you do it.
"We have to solidify, if not our first line players, certainly our backups. Once you get past the two-deep, which is 44 players, you can only take 56 on the road. You have to find those special teams guys and guys who will work into the depth chart."
Hughes said one of the things they will look at during Saturday's scrimmage is the offensive line. With the small travel squad size, they want to make sure the eight or nine linemen that travel can all play multiple positions.
Following Saturday's scrimmage, the Stetson coaches want to give the players some time off, to rest and recover. With two-a-days behind them, and the start of fall classes looming on Thursday, the focus will begin to turn toward preparation for the opening game against Warner.
"Right now we have camp legs," Hughes said. "We have been conditioning and pushing them pretty hard, and it has been hot and humid because it is Florida. We are going to try to taper off a little bit so that, over the next four or five days, their legs can get back under them a little and we can see where we are.
"We want to get their legs back so they can play fast."

The surgeon may be confused as to the nature of the lesion when he first encounters a large mass, in the mesentery of the small bowel, produced by a lipogranuloma. The lesion should be recognized as a benign process for which biopsy is the only feasible surgical procedure. These masses are thought to be the result of degenerative and mild chronic inflammatory changes in the fat. There have been several reports in recent years concerning these lesions.1,2,4,6
Accurate terminology of this lesion is difficult because of the poorly understood pathogenesis and clinical course. There are several interesting problems relative to the lesion such as the clinical manifestations of an asymptomatic palpable abdominal mass in some patients but recurrent abdominal pain in others, and a premortem diagnosis is possible only at the time of surgery. We have encountered the lesion in two patients. It seems likely that it is more

Education and Workforce Transition Coordinating Council for Correctional Institutions to Hold Meeting in Hagerstown
BALTIMORE, MD (April 19, 2011) The Education and Workforce Transition Coordinating Council for Correctional Institutions (Council) will hold a public meeting on Wednesday, April 27 at the Maryland Correctional Training Center in Hagerstown. The Council was established as part of legislation passed in 2008 that transferred control of Maryland's correctional education programs to the Maryland Department of Labor and is charged with providing oversight and support for correctional education that prepares offenders to join the workforce upon release. The Council assists the development and review of workforce training programs within Maryland's correctional institutions and develops regulations for the implementation of mandatory educational and workforce skills training programs.
Maryland Labor Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez and Secretary of Public Safety and Corrections Gary D. Maynard co-chair the Council. The Council is required to report annually to the Governor and General Assembly. During next week's meeting, the Council will review and vote on draft regulations.

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. - All roads, including a circuitous side route through cinema, led to Zeppelin.
Clementine, the drummer for the all-female tribute band Zepparella, who goes by only one name, described the inspiration behind the quartet: "It was like these four people who were in this groove onstage together," she said. "If that's not there, you might as well just sit at home and listen to the greatest recordings ever recorded."
Clementine, singer Anna Kristina, bass player Nila Minnerock and guitarist Gretchen Menn aren't content to sit around the basement and listen to Led Zeppelin. Nor did they want their band to get lost among other tribute acts: The foursome pays tribute to Zeppelin's synergy as much as its music.
"I think that with the Zeppelin music, what separates all the bands is that you can't play the music well if you don't have a connection between the players," Clementine said last year. "So when you go to see any Zeppelin band, if they' re playing the song the way it is on the record, it's going to suck."
Clementine said the group didn't want to immerse itself in all "the stuff" that goes along with tribute acts and sought another source for visual information. The name is also a tribute to "Barbarella," the comic book and Jane Fonda movie.
"When I started the band, I was thinking about how I wanted it to look, and a big thing is I didn't want it to be a tribute band. I wanted to divert attention away from the tribute model," she said. "I love the movie 'Barbarella.' I love the costumes. I love Jane Fonda. I love the sets."
The concept clicked but didn't stick; the name, however, remains the same.
Tahoe has become a favorite stop for the tribute band.
"We love it," Clementine said. "It's always so much fun. It's beautiful. People are nice, and they're ready to party."

They met at Fat Tuesday's in Fairfax nearly three years ago, when Michelle came in with a group of friends and while everyone else ordered a drink, Michelle ordered nothing but water. John, who is a manager at Fat Tuesday's started to call her the "water girl." Their courtship was simply "water under the bridge" after that (no pun intended). Michelle is an incredibly gifted preschool teacher at Beantree in Chantilly. She is going for her masters in Special Education at George Mason University. Red Skin Fans to the end, this couple had a creative fall theme using the redskin colors. We loved the place cards, which were footballs, hand made by the bride. The cake topper was spectacular and says it all! This lucky couple will be honeymooning in Hawaii.

A local woman called police after noticing that there was a fraudulent bank draft on her account. At first she didn't think anything of it because it was only one, happened in another state and the bank took care of it.
But more charges began to come through from pharmacies across the Lowcountry and at a dry cleaner.
Her bank warned her that someone may have duplicated her credit card.
The lady called the dry cleaner to report the fraudulent charges and the clerk told the woman to contact police. According to the police report, the clerk said the charges happened just recently and she knew exactly who the couple was. She only knew the names they gave her when they dropped off and picked up the clothes, but she would recognize them again, she told police.
The clerk described the female who came in the dry cleaners many times over the last two months with some extremely expensive clothing. Her boyfriend also had an account with the dry cleaners and the clerk gave police his information.
The clerk told police that the most recent transaction was odd because the customer acted very nervous. She handed over the credit card and then asked the clerk if it was too late to cancel the transaction. The clerk told her it was not, and the customer said never mind, just run it.
Then the customer asked dhow many days before the transaction would show up and the clerk responded that it would be just a few days.
In addition, there was no name or bank listed on the transaction print out.
The clerk also told police the girl has clothes to pick up under a different name,. Police told the clerk to get as much information such as an ID, vehicle description or anything she can when she arrives to pick up her clothing.
This is under investigation.

Hoard's Dairyman Editorial: We should feed the world, how?
Editorial: We should feed the world, how?
One really has to wonder how we possibly could double global food output. Elanco's Jeff Simmons tells audiences that, by 2050, we will have 50 percent more people (about 9 billion) and will need 100 percent more food to prevent the hunger, nutrition-related diseases, and starvation that exists today.
According to the U.N. Food and Agricultural Organization, annual yield improvements for wheat, corn, rice, and soybeans have been just a fraction of what they were prior to 1990. USDA's Economic Research Service reports that "total factor productivity" which accounts for outputs and inputs continues to climb only slowly . . . about 1.5 percent per year.
With this in mind, there's a four-acre patch in England that the entire world needs to know more about. The well-studied acreage lies on a farm founded by Sir John Lawes some eight generations ago. He described the soil as "heavy loam resting on chalk and capable of producing good wheat when well manured." Sir John knew what he was talking about. An area near the center of the piece, according to the Economist magazine, yielded 165 bushels of wheat to the acre last year. But other parts of the field yielded only 30.
Same rainfall. Same climate. Why the difference? The high-yielding section has been given every technological advantage. The modest-yielding area reflects conditions typical for an underdeveloped agriculture . . . no fertilizer, no pesticide, nor any other special care.
Simmons, with Elanco, cites a U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization analysis that 70 percent of the additional food we need will have to come from efficiency-enhancing technologies for crops and livestock. In order for that to happen, policymakers, food marketers, consumers, and even food producers are going to have to keep an open mind on the tools we'll need to feed the world.

Best of '12: "Do real stuff" urges Temple Grandin
Date:Wed, 12/26/2012
Over the holidays, we will be sharing some of our most-viewed blogs of 2012. If you missed them earlier, we've got them ready to close out 2012.
No doubt, there's no modern animal scientist who has received as much recognition in recent years as Temple Grandin. She recently spoke to graduates of her alma mater, Franklin Pierce University, on May 12, 2012.

As one of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people in the world in 2010, there's no doubt that Temple Grandin is the world's most influential autistic person. Obviously, agriculturalists familiar with her work will know that she had a huge impact on the meat processing side of the industry.
