Santa Cruz County Bank wins top rating
Santa Cruz County Bank has been designated a Super Premier Performing bank for 2013 by financial industry consulting firm The Findley Reports Inc.
This is the fourth consecutive year the locally owned bank has received that designation. The bank opened in 2004.
To achieve the top rating, awarded to 60 banks in California, the institution must meet four criteria at a high level: Growth, return on beginning equity, net operating income as a percentage of average assets and loan losses as a percentage of gross loans.
Gary Steven Findley, editor of The Findley Reports, said, "This recognition only validates what we already know — Santa Cruz County Bank is an 'exceptional' bank and a top performer amongst all California banks."
David Heald, president and chief executive officer of Santa Cruz County Bank, credited efforts by the board of directors, management team and employees.
More women developing software
The number of women in software development has grown by 87 percent since first measured in 2001, according to an Evans Data survey of 450-plus software developers.
About 19 percent of software developers are women, which would translate to 3.5 million worldwide. Female software developers tend to be younger than their male counterparts with just over 40 percent younger than the age of 30.
"We've seen the population of woman software developers growing since the last recession," said Janel Garvin, Evans Data chief. "Women are viewing technology as a profession with a very favorable future. Of course, the shift is also due to older males leaving the profession during the last recession when older, more expensive workers often were the ones laid off first."
The survey had a margin of error of 4.8 percent.

LED manufacturers sort LEDs into 'bins' based on the forward voltage to give their customers the most consistent light color possible. Manufacturing tolerances can cause a range of colors even in the same batch of LEDs, so this binning process gives their customers higher consistency in the color produced. Despite the tight grouping of forward voltages in these bins, inherent LED characteristics can still result in non-homogeneous current draw, luminous flux, heat dissipation and junction temperature.
This highly interconnected process was investigated using STAR-CCM+ and SPICE to simulate the coupled thermal and electrical problems. STAR-CCM+ was used to solve the thermal field while SPICE solved the electrical problem and a JAVA interface managed the communication between the two programs.

Devizes town councillors have thanked the Friends of Hillworth Park for their hard work as they wind down following the renovation of the park.
The "friends", who helped the town council hold a programme of events after Lottery funding of £1.5million was won for the renovation, want to give their remaining funds to tree planting.
Tuesday's town council recreation and properties committee was told: "On January 19 the Friends held an emergency meeting to discuss the way forward.
"It was felt that the Friends' role had come to a natural end and most of their objectives had been achieved."
It was agreed that funds from membership and fundraising should go back in the park and a reminder of their work in the form of a circle of trees – winter cherry, rowan, birch, or maple – would be ideal.
If funds allow, a clock would also be installed in the park centre.

TAMPA — Jemima Germain walked into the room, threw her hands in the air and lamented being a teenager.
The Tampa 13-year-old bemoaned beauty routines and the dos and don'ts of eating chocolate. Exasperated and confused, she paced back and forth.
When she finished ranting, Jemima looked up expectantly and beamed when the adults in front of her said, "Wow!"
Her monologue made an impression on the judges for Patel Conservatory's third annual Tampa's Got Talent competition. More than 100 performers from the bay area auditioned Sunday to win one of four scholarships for the conservatory.
Top prizes will be announced in two weeks. The scholarships cover the cost of a vocal, instrumental, dance or theater class, which range from $200 to more than $3,000 per year.
Similar to the reality TV show America's Got Talent, participants at Patel Conservatory at the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts stood in front of several judges and a videocamera. They performed their pieces, answered questions about their training and heard critiques.
Judges looked for confidence, expression and raw talent.
"When you're an artist, you have a story to tell," said theater teacher Ami Sallee. "Take me on that story, the whole way through."
One by one, the hopefuls filed through the room. Mary Beth Ritter, 16, of Lakeland let loose a song from a musical. Jake Biller, 14, of Carrollwood Village strummed an Ozzy Osbourne tune on his guitar. Denisha Kirnes, 16, of New Tampa prompted a laugh from judges by acting out a joke.
They gave their last flourishes and left the room, while the judges conferred in low voices about dynamics and poise.
"That's the kind of student we want to give a scholarship to," they said to each other.
And outside, oblivious to the deliberations, each artist wondered: Are they saying that about me?

This is not "free money". The Feds will only cover the expense the first 3 years, after that, the states go bankrupt.
The people claiming that it is cruel or selfish to NOT expand Medicaid are either dishonest or ignorant of the financial facts. The list of things that these people think would be "nice" or "good" to do would cost the taxpayers more money than the state GDP.
This is why we have to prioritize, the adults have to make the hard choices. This is what being a sane, sober adult is all about, not all of us have the luxury of being a leftist. We have to live in the adult world; the one where we don't "work" for the government and performance matters.

Truly amazing to see all of the various "opinions" here on this topic without any reflection and or suggestion of any sort of a solution.-NC Red Shirt
On the contrary, I already suggested the solution.
Scrap Obamacare and go to a true universal healthcare system like the ENTIRE REST OF THE WESTERN WORLD uses, which costs 5-10 times less per patient than we spend now, with similar or better healthcare outcomes.
But some folks would rather pay 10 times more and rant about socialism than do that.
Obama wants to expand medicaid and put the cost on states after 3 years-lessismore
Seriously, everything I have ever seen you post has been fundamentally untrue.
After 3 years the states pay 10% of the cost. The feds pay the other 90%.
Mind you, the citizens in NC are paying taxes to cover the federal part regardless of taking the medicaid $ or not, so we're giving that $ away for nothing if we don't take the federal dollars for medicaid.
Terkel Feb 8, 2013
"Besides, at ANY time the Federal govt can pull its portion of the money and leave NC taxpayers holding the bills." mep
Right. Perhaps they'll decide that although tobacco is legal, no use will be allowed. Ditto alcohol, fat, sugar, flour, eggs, and starch. The DOT does the same thing with ethanol and speed limits: do what we order, or you get no money (and no tax break, just no money).
Terkel Feb 8, 2013
"...it will cost the state..." gu
Money you never received is not a cost.
Terkel Feb 8, 2013
golden, not that you really intend to listen, but I didn't say doctors have different bill collection methods than hosps. I said a patient must identify himself at a doctor's office and cannot skip out on the bill as easily as someone showing up with no tangible ID and no way to prove who they are. You can't collect from someone who had no ID and gave you her sister's address and a made-up phone number.

The hospital team of lawyers.
Can't find someone.
Who's lied about or refused to state.
Their identity.
goldenosprey Feb 8, 2013
I wonder if our esteemed GA would turn down money from the federal government that would help big business and rich people.
Morrigan- what methods of collection do doctors' offices have at their disposal that hospitals don't? Are you proposing debtors' prison. Being a fixture of the 18th and 19th centuries it would mesh well with republican philosophy. Then taxpayers can pay for the incarceration of deadbeat parents AND indigent patients! Can't wait to see the math.

Thank God President Obama, the first President to even get a health care law passed, had the persistence to try to make sure Americans get healthcare. Americans need to be able to get preventive care and in the end will hopefully live longer lives. When a person is healthy, they are more able to productively contribute to society i.e. work, raise their children, volunteer. Basically with affordable healthcare more Americans get a better quality of life. Obama care is helping individuals be responsible for their health. Everyone has to have some type of health coverage and they have to pay for it. This is a good thing for all the people like me who has always had healthcare and is being hit with the cost of paying for care for all those without it. Healthcare for all is just the right thing to do but of course the Republicans only care about themselves and their rich friends. They do not care that blocking the expansion will only cause more burden on the middle class.
lessismore Feb 8, 2013
This is all Obama's doings......you wanted it, you got it. Obama wants to expand medicaid and put the cost on states after 3 years...then what??? We will be bankrupt withing 3 years if we keep listening to Obama...the man knows nothing, he has never had a job in the private sector, he knows nothing about finances and the economy. His ideology is killing this country.
Spock Feb 8, 2013
Truly amazing to see all of the various "opinions" here on this topic without any reflection and or suggestion of any sort of a solution. The blame game and inaction is a very heartless. Myself and others choose to lobby for strong immigration laws (which includes rigorously enforcing the laws already on the books), birth control, and a set of rules for indigent Emergency Room will be paid rather than a free ticket to the ER.
Someone here mentioned that they had never seen anybody go to ER for a cold... wake up folks and volunteer at your local ER (or take some EMT course) - you will see many leaches that you would not normally consider.
read_a_little Feb 7, 2013
Hear are some average costs to consider. These costs are 5-6 times as high in the US as other countries. These cost are designed so hospitals can recover the cost of the uninsured. Even wealthy families would be hard pressed without insurance. Middle class and lower, well they just go bankrupt. It's cheaper to insure everyone.
Tonsillectomy $12,355
Vaccinations $4,116
Microscopic Examination of Blood $14,805

The Federal government never passes something that it wants without consequences for those who don't except it regardless of which party does it. For example, with No Child Left Behind, states would have had to give up title 1 monies if they didn't except those mandates. It's going to be the same with Obamacare. If North Carolina doesn't accept it, we are going to lose money and end up with more taxes to cover what we've lost.
junkmail5 Feb 7, 2013
Read the fine print people! This is not free money! The Feds can and will reduce what they pay to the states at anytime, leaving the bill to the states to cover, then what will we do-Americanfirst
Probably still be paying less than if we just let people continue to get sick and skip out on ER bills.
Every other western nation in the world has some form of universal care, and they spend VASTLY less per person than we do on healthcare and get similar or better outcomes.
Obamacare isn't anywhere near as good as THAT but it's better than the current "aw, just let the poor bleed out in front of the ER" counter ideas.

Way to go! kicking the helpless, most vulnerable and defenseless when they"re down. I am impressed, nothing like going after those who can't fight back. Chalk up another easy win.
Americanfirst Feb 7, 2013
Read the fine print people! This is not free money! The Feds can and will reduce what they pay to the states at anytime, leaving the bill to the states to cover, then what will we do, I know, raise taxes, again and again. This stunt will cost the feds at least 1 trillion dollars, they are broke so where will it come from? The feds will unload the total cost on the states who already are broke and we cain't print money! This is bad for North Carolina unless you want a socialist state!
Rebelyell55 Feb 7, 2013
Hope the pressure helps, they're really thinking that most NC citizens would support this. Then again this maybe all for show.

He will not go on to say why those anguished families skip out on the bill, though.-Morrigan
Because they can't afford how much medical care costs without insurance. Especially ER care.
So the taxpayers end up covering it.
When it'd be much cheaper to instead cover insurance for them.
It's not that they "plan" to not pay, it's that they are mathematically incapable of doing so.
Due to lack of money.
Most of them are already getting government help to afford food.
And don't tell me they CAN pay, because if they could I assure you the hospital has a team of lawyers that would insure they did.

" Why not just repeal the law and have people go to an urgent care and pay out of pocket at a more reasonable rate than continue to have people go to the Emergency room to get treatment for a cold? "
have you any idea what even an urgent care costs? and for a cold????? I've never seen anyone go to the ER etc for a cold.
Grand Union Feb 7, 2013
Typical GOP, they can't dump their dogma even though it will cost the state tens of million of dollars.
Its not enough that they cut peoples unemployment that they have earned but now they want to make sure the poor can't get health insurance as well........ roll on 2014.
Terkel Feb 7, 2013
"Only 30 percent of low-income adults are now covered by Medicaid because of strict eligibility rules, the congressmen said in the letter, so many families have to rely on hospital emergency rooms for medical care."
He will not go on to say why those anguished families skip out on the bill, though.
Why don't these tweeners go to the doctor's office in the first place? Simple: they plan all along not to pay. At a doctor's office you have to show ID, fill out paperwork, prove who you are, and then you can't easily run out on the bill. Plus if you stiffed 'em last time, they're not going to look at your kid's stubbed toe. Whereas you can go to the ER with no ID, they MUST treat you, and you can walk away laughing about having gotten another one over on the libs.
Don't tell me they can't afford to pay. They can pay $10/month till it's paid off. They choose not to.
slatesplace Feb 7, 2013
The reason people go to the Emergency room is because of a law passed in 1986 called the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA). Now they want to pass a new law to protect us from the law they passed in 1986? Why not just repeal the law and have people go to an urgent care and pay out of pocket at a more reasonable rate than continue to have people go to the Emergency room to get treatment for a cold? These guys have lost their minds, there is no logic or common sense in Washington, DC.

"NC will be holding a big stinking bag that they originally thought was full of gold...."
NC will have to cover these people anyway. Whether through Medicaid or at the ER. WHen they go to the ER you are paying for them and at ER rates. Dumb move tea party GOPers.
68_dodge_polara Feb 7, 2013
"NC will be holding a big stinking bag that they originally thought was full of gold...."
Yep otherwise the federal government would have never involved the states to begin with. It's just another way to hid the true cost of the unaffordable care act.

"Medicaid rules have been expanded dramatically under Obama." How so tigo7? I've been working with Medicaid a very long time and wonder what are the dramatic expansions of which you speak.
mep Feb 7, 2013
WHY expand an already broken, corrupt system full of waste? Besides, at ANY time the Federal govt can pull its portion of the money and leave NC taxpayers holding the bills.
aetius476 Feb 7, 2013
"Why would we block this infusion into the North Carolina economy when unemployment remains so high and our economic recovery remains so fragile?" they asked in the letter."
Because as we well know, the federal government administration and policies change. They claim to cover 90% of the Medicaid cost 5 years from now but that is just speculation. When the federal budgets are exploding with entitlement expansion and debt service future administrations may very well rethink these "gifts" to the states.
NC will be holding a big stinking bag that they originally thought was full of gold....
the fact that these 3 far left Demo machine rubber stamp yes men are complaining about this bill means it must be the right thing to do...
Pirate01 Feb 7, 2013
So a bunch of liberals are against personal responsibility and sound financial principles? Shocking!!!
tigo7 Feb 7, 2013
Medicaid rules have been expanded dramatically under Obama. Now people who work qualify for it and food stamps and take trips to Disney world while the rest of us work a couple of jobs to make sure they don't have to work much. Medicaid is useless to the undocumented people and to children not born in the US so they are continuing to use services and don't pay and have babies and even those who are not eligible now get emergency pregnancy medicaid to cover lab etc expenses for a period of time. And there are the parents who are too lazy and irresponsible to sign their children up for medicaid. Nothing is free and if our government doesn't start building a tax base and stop runniong businesses and therefore working people away there will be no one who can pay for these entitlements other than the Fed Reserve who keeps printing money and that bubble will burst soon
Terkel Feb 7, 2013
IIRC this bill won't preclude an insurance exchange. Each state can set up its own, set up a hybrid fed-state exchange, or let 0bama own it and set it up for them. A huge number of states have chosen the hybrid or fed-only options, and the 0 Admin is in a tizzy figuring out how to do what they didn't plan for. Look for a bad dream to turn into night terrors.
Was this what Pelosi meant when she said we'd have to pass it to see what's in it?
Terkel Feb 7, 2013
"as drug makers, medical device manufacturers and others expand..."
...into the overseas countries where all manufacturing went a long time ago. Nice try, though.

I am sorry for the delay in posting. I am amazed how crazy one person can make their life. Nothing bad, just the day to day activities of just living. I don't know about you, but I am not a very organized person. I really try to be; but well it never really happens other then little spurts here and there. Usually I am sort of OK with that. But, as I have added more stuff to my life it has gotten a bit confusing and the where do I start question is getting asked more and more.
I do not do anything half way. I have spent 10 years learning my 2 disciplines in Search and Rescue. I love what I do; I have the knowledge to be an asset to those I am there to help. Now, I am slowing down a bit in that area and have moved back to my love of art. I am again asking the question I did when I started search and rescue. Where am I going with this. I still am struggling with the question.
All I do know at this juncture is I love what I am creating. I love my renewed love of decorating my home. I am fascinated with the direction my art is going and I want to explore it. So, I apologize for my ramblings and my slow up dating of my blog. As I try to answer my own questions and how to find balance. My hope for you is that your life is full and you enjoy the process of learning. Life really is just a journey where it takes us is anyones guess; but it can be exciting, frustrating and just plain maddening. But, it is never boring.
Find joy in your life, create and enjoy the journey.

Siren is a village in and the county seat of Burnett County in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The population was 806 at the 2010 census. The village is located within the Town of Siren.
The Ojibwa and the French fur traders were the principal inhabitants of the region in the early nineteenth century.
Swedish immigrants began settling in the area around what is now Siren in the 1880s. Many of them were members of the Evangelical Covenant Church. The first post office was built in 1895 about a mile west of its present location. The first postmaster was Charles F. Segerstrom, and he had the post office in his home. His home was surrounded by lilacs (which were and still are quite abundant in this area). Segerstrom applied with the postal department for a name for this place, choosing "Syren", the Swedish word for "lilac." Presumably the postal department thought this was a misspelling, for on the granted application they put down the spelling as "Siren." In 1912, the town center was moved nearer the Soo Line Railroad tracks which had been extended through the area to Duluth, Minnesota. The tracks were later removed but the trail was left behind for recreational purposes. It is now known as the Gandy Dancer Trail and is a popular route for hikers, bicyclists, and snowmobilers.
On June 18, 2001, a tornado passed through Siren inflicting severe damage. Three people died as a result of the tornado; 175 buildings were destroyed and many more damaged. Since then much of the town has been rebuilt with its architecture reflecting Siren's history.[1]

Since I like the expand/collapse feature, I am currently using an Expandable List template to show off my list. Due to my requirement's, I found a way for each list item to be seen in a new page by having a hyperlink based off of this: '<%# Eval("UrlName")%>'.
I got it to work based on the requirements needed, however I figured out that when my list item title has an apostrophe, the url name gets truncated and so I end up getting a broken link.
This post gave me insight on what's wrong which is that I need runat="server" in my template to work.
However, when I do that by doing an <asp hyperlink> instead of <a href> I get this error: A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (<).
Adding this to the template gives me the right link, however I don't like that I can't change the page where it goes to nor change the text, it simply has the title as the text.
<sf:DetailsViewHyperLink runat="server" id="detailLink" TextDataField="Title" ToolTipDataField="Description" data-sf-field="Title" data-sf-ftype="ShortText"></sf:DetailsViewHyperLink>
Does anyone know a way around this? Basically, I still would like to use the expandable list template for list items, but still have a way to access the individual list item in a separate page via a modifiable text that's a hyperlink.
I found a way to change the text if I use the <sf:DetailsViewHyperLink> but would it be possible to redirect it to a different page instead of generating a new page with the url of the page I'm on?
For example I have the expandable template w/ the hyperlink in a page with the url home/education. When I click the link, I get home/education/course-name , could I change it to redirect to home/main/course-name? Would this be possible?
href='<%# String.Format("{0}{1}","home/education/", Eval("UrlName")) %>' Target="_blank" runat="server">Full Story</

Yet it's those staffers under him, many on board prior to his arrival, who developed and redeveloped much-needed marketing ties and now are faced with defending and/or explaining their boss' words, all the while trying to again get them to commit on long-term business deals.'
Only Buffalo Bills Have Sense of the Direction the Eagles Fly [5:15 AM]
Los Angeles Times reports: 'The Eagles are making the Buffalo Bills look like overachievers.'
Former Bears coach accepts three-year deal with Detroit Lions [4:41 PM]
ESPN reports: Jauron also interviewed for the Buffalo Bills head coach opening early this month. He had been contacted by, but did not interview with, at least two other teams who needed to hire a defensive coordinator.
Bills' new head coach has a lengthy to-do list [9:06 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Try running on third-and-1. Try running on first down.'
Title game looks familiar [9:05 AM]
Boston Herald reports: '``Then about three years ago we evolved into a no-huddle team that went with three wide receivers instead of two tight ends. We knew we needed a good center and Jeff Saturday is another Kent Hull. They're the same guy. Getting Troy Walter last year and Brandon Stokley this year gives us good people in the slot and that let us move Reggie Wayne to the outside where he's better suited.'''
Belichick: Colts are like '91 Bills [9:04 AM]
Toronto Star reports: ''"Buffalo was a very fast-paced offence. A lot of times there were 20 or 18 seconds left on the (play) clock when the ball was snapped, so there was a much higher urgency to get the (defensive play) call in, get lined up and be ready to go. It was a two-minute type of pace. "There is a lot more play-action, a lot more variety in the Colts' offensive system,'' the coach of the year went on. "They do use some substitution and they do use different personnel groups. Looking back at Buffalo, they were more of a one-group, one-formation, hurry-up-and-run-the-plays kind. They put pressure on you defensively that way.'''
Mularkey's relentless intensity, work ethic finally brings top job [5:15 AM]
Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports: 'He is low-key, gentlemanly and smart, a person who earned dual degrees in kinesiology and sociology. What's more, he is even-tempered, like Noll, rarely losing composure and almost never showing any emotion. That, though, is veneer for what burns inside, a fire that fuels a mental toughness that exemplified his playing career.'
Spurrier in waiting: Just what Mack needs [5:14 AM]
San Antonio Express News reports: 'Jerry Gray certainly saw some urgency. He wanted to go back to the school where he played, and he had some credentials. He was the Bills' defensive coordinator last season, and only the Cowboys' defense ranked higher. There was some irony; a few Aggies propped up the Buffalo defense. But Gray seemed an ideal hire for Texas. Smart, young, experienced, orange-blooded. As for Gray's skin color: If not for social change, why not for recruiting? But Brown showed little interest, and last week it became official. Gray will remain in Buffalo as the Bills' defensive coordinator. Brown likely saw Gray's background as less collegiate than pro. But there are also hints that Brown viewed Gray as a threat, and for a reason. Gray's goal is to someday be the head coach at Texas.'
LeBeau chooses Steelers over Bills [9:25 AM]
Washington Observer Reporter reports: '"One of the attractions to me being in Pittsburgh was the fact that, philosophically, Coach (Cowher) and I have always been on the same page, and that is attack," said LeBeau, who takes over a defense ranked ninth in the NFL last season. "We will be a pressure defense, and I know the head coach feels that way, too."'
Bills keep status quo with Gray [8:55 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"I can be an ally to help him on the other side of the ball," Gray continued. "He doesn't have to worry about me making a transition. I know what went on here. I can help him with players and personalities. I can help him with things that you can't learn by watching film."'
Bills lose LeBeau, retain Gray [5:20 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Gray, who was rumored to be interested in returning to his alma mater, the University of Texas, to be the Longhorns� defensive coordinator, said he was more than pleased to return under Mularkey as the defensive coordinator. �To me, I went into the process thinking it was an honor,� Gray said of being interviewed by general manager Tom Donahoe. �I knew it was a long shot to get the head coaching job so it wasn�t a letdown. After we found out that Mike was going to be hired, I didn�t know if I�d have a chance to stay here or not. I knew our defense performed well and hopefully the guy would give me a chance. It just so happened that things fell right.�'
Mularkey a comfortable fit for Bills and fans [5:19 AM]
Medina Journal Register reports: 'Western New Yorkers will love him in time. Not only is the approach blue collar, but so is the man behind it.'
Gibbs to Count On 'Character' Players [5:15 AM]
Washington Post reports: 'The Redskins also have been interested in Bills defensive line coach Tim Krumrie and linebackers coach Don Blackmon. LeBeau's departure means Washington has a shot at signing Krumrie. The assistant was considered a lock to remain in Buffalo if LeBeau stayed there: Krumrie was a defensive line coach under LeBeau in Cincinnati from 1997 to 2002. Mularkey hasn't announced his decision on Blackmon and Krumrie. And Gibbs -- who is considering New York Giants running back coach Eric Studesville -- is eager to find out.'
Character the deciding factor for Mularkey [5:13 AM]
Pittsburgh Tribune Review reports: 'But now, Donahoe has Mularkey and offensive coordinator Tom Clements, formerly the Steelers' quarterbacks coach, in charge of the offense. Clements was a leading candidate for the same job two years ago, but Williams insisted on hiring Kevin Gilbride. Gilbride has failed to properly fit quarterbacks Drew Bledsoe of the Bills and Kordell Stewart of the Steelers into his offensive system, but Donahoe defended him. "Kevin has gotten a lot of criticism (in Buffalo)," he said, "and it wasn't all Kevin. I thought there were things that the head coach should have stepped in and controlled better than he controlled it."'
LeBeau returns to Steelers as defensive coordinator [5:12 AM]
Pittsburgh Tribune Review reports: 'Dick LeBeau could have joined Mike Mularkey's coaching staff in Buffalo as the defensive coordinator. If so, he would have had a lesser shadow lurking over his shoulder. Instead, LeBeau chose a similar and, perhaps, a more challenging path with the Steelers, opting to reunite with coach Bill Cowher's strong personality, notable defensive mind and many more years of experience. Friday, LeBeau become the new coordinator in Pittsburgh, replacing the fired Tim Lewis.'

Carter Strange: Five Points beating survival a miracle
Tue, 28 Jun 2011 20:52:06 GMT —
COLUMBIA (WACH) -- Carter Strange says it was a long week in a Columbia hospital, undergoing brain and facial reconstructive surgery.
The man at the center of an attack drawing worldwide attention says the incident is a blur.
"Everything was pretty much foreign other than jogging to Five Points trying to get home that TMs about all I remember," says Carter Strange.
Columbia police say eight suspects caught on Five Points surveillance video are responsible.
"I never seen or heard of them. I have no idea who they were," says Strange.
Carter and his family faced his alleged attackers for the first time Monday in family court.
The defendants said they're innocent. One attorney pointed to Carter's statements to investigators saying he was attacked by four white males....all the suspects in custody are black.Related Stories... Columbia passes emergency curfew for Five Points Five Points beating brings debate over curfew
Carter says he doesn't remember making that statement.
"It was kind of weird hearing them talk about it cause, I haven't talked to the police yet really. I haven't given an actual statement that I remember at least," says Strange.
Carter says although he is healing physically he's dealing with his emotional scars.
"I've always been a little self conscious so it TMs kind of hard looking at myself in the mirror now," says Strange.
Since the attack, get well messages have been pouring into his Facebook page.
He even received a card from a Columbia city councilwoman during our interview.
"It's very overwhelming. I couldn't imagine how much support I would get. I mean just complete strangers," says Strange.
He says after getting out of the hospital he went back to the scene along Edisto Avenue in Five Points where a passerby found him after the attack.
"I felt like it was something I needed to do just to get it out, says Strange.
Carter has this message for his attackers:
"I hope that they learn from this has much as I have. I'm still who I am on the inside but it does make me think a lot and I do a lot more self reflection because of it."
As a result of his attack city leaders have put an emergency curfew in place for teens in the Five Points area. Click here for the full story.
An account has been set up to help the family cover medical costs. Click here to find out how to donate if you're interested.

My first gun: Handgun, rifle, or shotgun?

Safety Issue?
My dad would only allow me to have a shotgun for my first "real" firearm. His reason was safety. Yes, he did teach me all the safety rules and he wasn't afraid to remind me of them with his boot. Yet, he also knew that as a young shooter with a new "toy", youthful excitement sometimes overrode common sense.
With a shotgun using birdshot, there is less down range danger. Birdshot has a very limited long range danger. A .22 rifle is capable of hurting or killing someone much further.
I do think that shotguns make an ideal first gun.

Today, I noticed that the feeds for ZDNet were not updating, and so, after some investigation, I found that the entire site has changed. Morphed is what my son would say. It has become completely face lifted, and much of it looks good, but what is strange is that I had to look around to see that RSS feeds are still supplied.
They are, but it is not easily seen. You have to look beyond the connections for Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, which fall to the right of the page very prominently. With those, there are also the options for news letters, so e-mail contact still seems to be available easily.
For others, like me, who prefer their news aggregated by a reader, there are feeds still around, but they are broken apart more than ever, and there appears to be no way to get the full menu in one shot.
This happened on a couple of other sites I visit by way of RSS feeds, so I suppose it is a changing of the ways that many will do things, but I have yet to see how something like Facebook or Twitter is more efficient than an RSS reader for getting to the meat of the matters.

June GPU Market Update: Price Compression Benefitsby Derek Wilson on June 19, 2009 3:01 PM EST
- Posted in
- GPUs
Things have been quiet on the GPU front for a while now, but there has definitely been activity on the pricing front. With the economy in the toilet, spending on hardware and games has declined; AMD and NVIDIA are fighting for your purchase. Prices are fairly compressed between $100 and $200, and spending just a little more can get you a whole lot of bang. We'll start on the low end and move up as we go.
We use price and availability at newegg.com as an indicator of the broader market in order to simplify our data and give more clear recommendations.
Sub $100 Cards
At the lower end of the spectrum, the Radeon HD 4670 can be had for less than $70 USD (down to $50 if you don't mind the rebate hassle). This is a solid card and a good way to go for people who want a well rounded card. It's not the best performer out there, but it offers a good performance boost over built in graphics hardware and leads cheaper add-in cards as well.
|ATI Radeon HD 4670
|Apollo 256MB
|Sapphire 512MB
|Gigabyte 512MB
The Radeon HD 4830 has been pushed down in price slightly due to the appearance of the Radeon HD 4770. This puts it in competition with the GeForce 9600 GT, which can't quite match the former's performance. This gives the edge to the 4830 which is quite a step up from the Radeon 4670 if you can afford the extra $20 or so dollars.
Sub $125 Cards
It seems like every time we look at the Radeon HD 4850, AMD has raised the bar once again. Performance of this part exceeds that of the Radeon HD 4770 which is still stuck, at best, at the same price it was at launch. Which happens to be the price to which the 4850 has finally fallen. Most 4770 hardware on newegg.com is actually more expensive than the 4850. And after rebate, the 4850 can even be had for as low as $90. That's simply amazing for the price.
The GeForce GTS 250 512MB (aka the 9800 GTX+) typically costs more (though the Galaxy card can be had for the price of a 4770), and is definitely not as good a deal. The 1GB card does have its advantages, but it's price is also much higher.
Sub $145 Cards
While it seems to be declining in availability, the Radeon 4870 512MB drops in at between $125 and $150. At the low end, this is a great deal that competes incredibly well with the previous segment, but the availability of of these parts make it a deal not long for this earth. Certainly, at the low end, it is a much better deal than the GeForce GTS 250 1GB that falls in this range as well (though solidly at $140 with one card hitting $125 only after MIR). Even at the same price, the 4870 512MB is absolutely the way to go. As we've typically recommended, though, if you can spend the extra money, the 1GB option provides more well-rounded performance.
Sub $180 Cards
The Radeon HD 4870 1GB and the GeForce GTX 260 core 216 are the first set of cards we come to that were and have been direct competitors in terms of price and performance throughout their life cycles. Since the introduction of the core 216, driver development differences and aggressive pricing, this battle has been a matter of preference for quite a while now. It seems both AMD and NVIDIA are content to keep it that way. The Radeon HD 4870 1GB can have a bit of a price edge, but some of those NVIDIA cards might also have a bit of an overclock that balances it.
Sub $250 Cards
The Radeon HD 4890 and the GeForce GTX 275 are both relatively new parts. The 4890 seems to have fallen in price across the board more rapidly than the GTX 275 and can generally be had for a better price (though there is one GTX 275 model that can be had for the same price as the 4890). If we look at mail in rebate, then the 4890 can have up to a $20 advantage and at $180 is a great deal and definitely worth it if you can afford that extra bit of cash beyond the previous segment (sounds like a trend doesn't it). At these prices, the 4890 is the way to go, especially if you don't have a 2560x1600 monitor.
We should add that for those who like single card dual GPU cards, the Sapphire 4850 X2 2GB is definitely interesting. We tend to prefer single GPU cards as they have more predictable performance characteristics, but this is not a bad price for entry into the multiGPU market. Sapphire has been and still is the only manufacturer to offer a 4850 X2 part.
$300+ Cards
In this arena, AMD has run out of single GPU parts. NVIDIA has one left with the GTX 285, but with the >$100 price premium over the Radeon HD 4890, there are certainly diminishing returns here. While the Radeon HD 4870 X2 also offers an advantage over the GTX 285, there's another rather large price jump, but if you're going to spend the money then you get more for the jump from the GTX 285 to the 4870 X2 than from the 4890 to the GTX 285 as well.
Way out in the stratosphere is the GeForce GTX 295. Solidly at $530, this one is definitively not a great deal. You pay a high premium for having these two GPUs in a single card, and picking up two GTX 275 cards will be both cheaper and faster. And if you really want to do that, two Radeon HD 4890 cards would be our recommendation there for less money.
Final Words
That's the update from field. It's only been a short time since some of these parts debuted and the market is already compressed like it hasn't been in quite a while. For those who can afford it, buying a video card today will get you a lot for your money.
In any case, there are two standouts today: the Radeon HD 4850 and the Radeon HD 4890. These two are really terrific values.

SiliconDoc - Tuesday, July 14, 2009 - linkNo the powercolor 4890 1gig at hardocp did NOT beat the GTX275 in every game, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
In the very first test @ highest 2560 rezz - the GTX295 won with the highest lowend franerate, beating the 4890.
When far cry hit at 1920X - the GTX275 pulled far ahead.
If you're running @ 2560X1600 and enjoy 12fps minimums, go for it.
I rather doubt yer running @ 2560x1600.
See that's the thing, there's so much hype, I check what you said, and see it's all emotional drama, and doesn't match the FACTS - those facts presented at the site you claimed you saw.
If your brain is already hyped for ati, your conclusion doesn't bear fruit. Reply
gossmann1 - Friday, July 03, 2009 - linkUm...where the hell did you get that info. Sorry buddy but I don't care what article you read I have a computer I just built for a friend that has 2 ATI 4890's running cross-fire and compared it to my system with 2 GTX285's in SLI and it kicked there ass. Same processor, Core i7 920 etc. Real world vs. fantasy land. Get REAL!! Reply
SiliconDoc - Tuesday, June 23, 2009 - linkIt's red fanboy central here buddy.
Even a $480 ati 4870x2 is listed with 2 gtx275's NOT listed.
There's a hundred points of bias in his little chart.
One could write a book on it - it's always like that here for some time.
The story goes like this ( and I DO mean STORY): " we the red rooster rooters hate Nvidia because they had the best card for like eva'.. and we had to pay for it and nvidia made a profit instead of billions in losses like ati, because crappy ati fell off the fps card wagon facedown drunk and stupid for so long Nvidia just 'scapled us' to death, and we're still big fat crybabies over it ! Three cheers for the loser ati who sobered up, now kick nvidia in the crotch they deserve it! "
Seriously they ALL have a huge sheeple spam generated little raging hatred inside - for nvidia. First they accuse me, then their fanboy lips start flapping like mad, and they dump it off their pent up chests.
That's what happens over and over again. After I point it out they come back later pretending they're fair, like joeyredfps.
Really, it's so pathetic.
Just tell the truth I say, for pete sakes.
It was amazing when the GTX275 came out with the new high res driver that beat ati's top dog in 2650 then the roosters here switched 180 degrees and suddenly the high res no longer mattered - and they redeclared ati the winner for taking some lower res spots. Six months or more before that only 2560 ruled for declaring the winner.
Stuff like that is CONSTANT here. The red deranged base is huge - it's been a long mkultra mind trip for them.
Not ONE, not a one of them will explain the missing 9600GT, that spanks that 4670 and I already quoted the prices at the egg.
You didn't the GTX270 because it ain't a red rooster card, dude. That's the bottom line. Reply
GeorgeH - Friday, June 19, 2009 - linkReading between the lines, it looks like you had to struggle and equivocate to really recommend any NVIDIA products at all.
This mirrors my own experiences of late, and makes me wonder what NVIDIA is planning? Any thoughts or rumors? Beyond the GTS250 rebrand they don't appear to have done much of anything in the <=$200 region for way too long. Reply
loomis2 - Friday, June 19, 2009 - linkAnandtech, GET OUT OF MY HEAD! I was literally seconds away from hitting Purchase on a video card on Newegg when I decided to check your site one last time, and found THIS! Actually, you can stay in my head as long as you like. These guides are a lifesaver! Reply
gigahertz20 - Friday, June 19, 2009 - linkThe 4890 seems like the best card for your money, if I went high end I would get two 4890's and put them in crossfire, which would be about the same price as a 4870 X2 but faster.
I would really like to hear more from Nvidia and AMD when their new GPU's are coming out, I think anybody looking for a new video card that doesn't need one right away should just wait until the end of Q3, I would think by then we should see benchmarks of the next generation. Very curious to see just how much faster they are going to be, a big bump or just a few percentage points faster. Reply
alkalinetaupehat - Friday, June 19, 2009 - linkDefinitely have to agree, since in the past two weeks I've bought three XFX 4850 1GB for $120 every time. Trying to stay with XFX as they have great support and warranty, and I've owned cards from them in the past as well. Since I've enjoyed my GTX285 so much I try to find a competitive price from an Nvidia part, but just can't. When a 1GB 4870 from XFX was $135 w/o MIR a couple days ago, man that was cool to see. Here's to a wonderful buyer's market! Reply
SiliconDoc - Sunday, June 21, 2009 - linkSo they include the red rooster ATI cards, 4670, the 4830, and the 4850, and leave out ALL NVIDIA 9800 series, and the 9600 series.
I'm certain the fools writing the review told themselves " we won't include the problematic 4770 from ATI with all it's issues, and then we can claim to have played fair, and leave out the NVIDIA 9800GTX, 9800GT, 9600GT - etc.
Anandtech is SICKENING with it blatant, ireepressable bias. Reply
Denithor - Monday, June 22, 2009 - linkOh, did the fanboi get his panties in a wad? Take a midol and come back when you're in a less cranky mood. Or don't, we won't miss your bleating.
ATi certainly rules the perf/$ charts for gaming right now.
Unfortunately, for my needs - F@H crunching - nVidia still has a lock on the ppd crown. By nearly a 2:1 ratio. So even with cards that are overpriced 10-20% I still get better performance/$ from nV GPUs. Reply
SiliconDoc - Tuesday, June 23, 2009 - linkDid you address the bias I pointed out, or did you just whine ?
Oh, you just whined, then played your you're not biased crap show.
Good, glad to hear you're not a red rooster, not but out, unless you have a counter to the blazing, glaring bias this site can't shake - Derek specifically. Reply

How To Know What To Use Or How Much? (Custom Cake)
Baking By just4caking Updated 14 Nov 2012 , 5:10am by denetteb
I don't know if anyone can help me with this but I've just started getting into baking and I promised my friend I would make her a cake for her birthday on Friday (Nov. 16). I've been looking for recipes for what I want to make but none of them are exactly like what I'm looking for so I don't know how much to use of ingredients or what to use. If anyone can help me with this, I'd appreciate it. Here's a basic description:
- 4 layers (6 or 8 inch cake)
- two layers chocolate and two layers bright pink with lighter color chocolate cream (is it?) in between; kind of like this: but with the pink layers and frosting covering whole cake in a way I can add decorations
- is it possible to make the outside frosting darker?
- I want to put 'flower' shaped frosting all around the top of the cake in pink color and write her name in pink as well
- will add pearl sprinkles or something like that on top
- here's a pic like how dark I want the outside frosting : http://cakecentral.com/g/i/2853677/a/3265473/
the two layers that you want pink, you would have to dye the cake batter if you are making yellow or white cakes for the 2 layers to be pink looking cake, unless you make 2 strawberry layers which would be kind of red. Normally people only fill their cake pans 1/2 to 2/3 full of batter.
The filling in between can be either chocolate ganache or you could mix dream whip with instant chocolate pudding which makes a good filling to put in between layers. Recipe for dream whip is on back of dream whip box.
For Chocolate Ganache you would put 1/2 cup whipping cream in a small saucepan and bring cream just to a medium boil. (Do not let cream scorch) Pour over 1 cup chocolate chips. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter and once mixed good transfer to small bowl and refrigerate till thicker and can be spread in between cake layers.
There may be other people here that would have a lot better ideas than mine since I only do caking as a hobby. As for making flowers you can look on you tube where they have many tutorials for making butter cream flowers. You would need icing tips of some sort with throw away bags. If you don't have icing tips you can go to you tube and see how this lady does flowers without tips but uses zip lock freezer bags and she shows how to cut bags to make the flowers with. This is her site below. Without icing tips, she will show you what to do.
Hope this can help you out.
On above you tube, the leaves on the flowers which are colored green are made with the very first ziplock baggie that she cut making the white flowers.
Since you are new at this and the event is only a few days away, I would suggest making two layers with a chocolate cake mix and two layers with white or yellow cake mix that you have added some red food color to make it pink. Pick any chocolate icing recipe and if it isn't dark enough you could add some brown food color to make it darker.

Four times a year, St. Julie Billiart Catholic Church becomes more than a house of God — it transforms into a house for the homeless.
Working with the Interfaith Hospitality Network of Greater Cleveland, the North Ridgeville church is one of the few churches in the area that helps people who have lost their homes and jobs stay warm and fed as they try to get back on their feet.
For a week next month, church volunteers will be making sure those families are well-cared for.
The Rev. Richard Gonser said his church first learned of the organization from a late parishioner, Joan Havanish, who until the time of her death last summer was part of the church's social justice commission, a ministry that looks for different ways to help people in need.
"Joan went to several meetings and brought it up to us and it has been here ever since. That was almost 10 years ago," Gonser said. "We feel very honored and happy to offer that service. It's a good experience to be able to help people who have temporarily lost their homes and jobs and to provide them with a safe harbor that is comfortable."
Parishioners Toni Yandura, Nancy Kubiak and Gary and Fran Crone have stepped in to fill Havanish's shoes.
"We are feeling our way through now (without Joan). The good thing about St. Julie's is that there are a lot of volunteers who volunteer every time," Yandura said.
Since St. Julie's opened its doors to families who are down on their luck, more than 200 volunteers have stepped forward to help care for the families in the seven days they're at the church. The volunteers — who include several parishioners from St. Peter Catholic Church in North Ridgeville — help cook, clean, pack lunches, donate food and monitor the evening hours when the families eat, relax and spend the night on cots located inside classrooms at the church.
"In the evening, volunteers prepare meals and they play with the kids, help (older) kids with their homework and talk to the parents. On Saturday and Sunday, we cook them breakfast; other days it's a continental breakfast," Yandura said. "But on Sunday, they are put on a van and they go to the next place."
Gonser said during the week, the children go to school and the parents work with social workers to secure jobs and housing in transportation provided by the network.
The families who are part of Interfaith Hospitality Network have between two and three months to land on their feet before they must seek help elsewhere, Gonser said.
And each family that comes through the doors of St. Julie's has a different story.
"One family moved here from out West and were trying to get established. A dad might be incarcerated or a mom might be struggling by herself," Yandura said. "Nancy heard from a family before the holiday that a mom got a job and a house. What kind of cool gift is that?"
Currently, St. Julie's is the only church in Lorain County that is part of the network, although a similar program, called Family Promise, will begin next month at First United Methodist Church in Elyria.

Less than two weeks ago, Lowndes drove the car to victory in the first of two 250kms races that made up the Sydney Telstra 500 Sydney Olympic Park Street Race.Stoner shared his thoughts on moving from two wheels to four after the test drive.CASEY STONERFirst impressions of driving a V8 SupercarIn its own ways the track feels narrower, especially going into the left hand corners. With these cars you can use actually quite a lot of the track so that can feel a little similar to being on the bike.With everything I am learning today, I have to forget everything I know about bikes and change to learn to drive these, and it is the same thing going from cars to bikes.On fulfilling a dream to drive a V8 SupercarSomething I have wanted to do since I was quite young actually and the opportunity to finally get in one and have a go is something pretty special to me. I am enjoying it.Most memorable part of driving the V8 SupercarI am surprised at how well they absorb the curbs. They are still going to be a stiff race machine, but they do absorb the bumps pretty well and, of course, the power is still there.We have to deal with a fair bit of power myself. The hardest thing I have had to do is change whatever I know about braking and changing through gears. I am having to rethink it again.I didn't expect to be in Craig's (Lowndes) actual race car. To be behind the wheel of something that won a race a few weeks ago is very special and I appreciate it.You have had an incredible year.

HOAXOCAUST! Set for FringeNYC, 8/15-21
QUESTING BEAST PRODUCTIONS will present the return of Barry Levey's HOAXOCAUST! as part of the 18th Annual New York International Fringe Festival - FringeNYC, directed by Jeremy Gold Kronenberg (Caroline, or Change - NYIT Award Outstanding Production of a Musical Nominee).
HOAXOCAUST! will play a limited engagement at Venue #12: 64E4 Underground (64 East 4th Street between 2nd Avenue and Bowery). Performances are Friday, August 15th at 9:15pm, Saturday, August 16th at 2:45pm, Sunday, August 17th at 2:00pm, Tuesday, August 19th at 6:00pm and Thursday, August 21st at 9:30pm.
What role should past horrors play in defining our religious views, our self-perception, even our politics? Is there such a thing as a contemporary Jewish identity independent of the Holocaust? Should there be? What if the Holocaust had never happened? Join Barry in an unbelievable round the world adventure as he tracks down deniers from Illinois to Iran, meets engineers and ex-presidents, and dodges a brother in Hungary and a boyfriend back home on a journey to discover the shocking truth.
The idea behind Hoaxocaust! began when former president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, catapulted to Americans' attention. In an interview with JSpace, Barry Levey shares how he "became really fascinated, surprised, shocked, and horrified that he [Ahmadinejad] was denying the Holocaust and getting so much press for it. At first I thought it would be hysterical to put on stage everything deniers would say, and obviously it would be ridiculous and it would just be a laugh riot... but then I realized that anything I was going to write was probably going to be a little scary, in addition to hopefully still being funny."
HOAXOCAUST! was developed at the The New Group ("If the purpose of art is to provoke, I have never seen anything that did it more successfully than Hoaxocaust!" -Peter Alkalay, Chairman), received a workshop production at Theater for the New City and was also part of Prospect Theater Company's Dark Nights Series at 59E59 Theaters.
Tickets are $18 and will go on sale July 18th. Tickets may be purchased online or on your smartphone up to 30min prior to the performance at www.fringenyc.org. Tickets may also be purchased in person at FringeCentral the day prior to the performance, or at the performance venue 15min prior to the performance (credit card only).

Healthcare practices of all sizes and types are looking for video surveillance solutions to solve their business challenges.
The channel's hesitation to sell IP video surveillance hasn't been entirely unwarranted. For the better part of the past three decades, the video surveillance market has largely remained static due in part to commoditization and little technological innovation. Despite its history, the physical security market is primed for a rebirth. In fact, according to research conducted by Homeland Security Research, global intelligent video surveillance (IVS) and video analytics (VA) industry revenues totaled $13.5 billion in 2012 and are estimated to reach $39 billion in 2020. The study goes on to attribute the increased use of video surveillance and the migration from analog to digital cameras as two top drivers behind this trend.
I reached out to Tim Palmquist, VP Americas, Milestone Systems, and Jimmy Palatsoukas, senior manager of product marketing, Genetec, recently to get their feedback on how they see this trend impacting the healthcare market, which has become one of the hottest vertical markets among Business Solutions' audience. Check out what these two video surveillance experts had to share regarding the key starting points VARs need to understand when selling IP video surveillance solutions in healthcare.
Which types of healthcare facilities are most likely to purchase IP video surveillance solutions?
Palmquist: We're seeing video surveillance solutions being installed in hospitals, medical clinics, nursing homes, and research laboratories.
Palatsoukas: Traditionally, the most likely type of healthcare organization to purchase an IP system would be either a large hospital, research institution, or a healthcare group managing one or multiple facilities. Psychiatric hospitals, major hospitals, and medical schools were also very likely to adopt IP solutions. Increasingly, however, we are seeing smaller healthcare facilities, pharmacies, and nursing homes purchasing IP-based security systems.
Who's the typical decision maker when purchasing video surveillance solutions in healthcare?
Palmquist: The decision maker is usually a CSO (chief security officer), a CIO (chief information officer), or it could be a shared responsibility between the two executives. Not all customers have a CSO, of course, so whoever is making the security decision will work with the IT department to install an IP-networked solution.
Palatsoukas: In our experience, the decision maker is typically the police chief/security director, IT director, or someone within the IT department responsible for security systems. Other possible decision makers include facilities directors (e.g. in hospitals), a legal or risk management department, and in some cases, multiple parties from the above list could be stakeholders in a security project.
What is the budget cycle and/or the best time to sell this type of solution to these practices?
Palatsoukas: This usually follows the facility's specific fiscal year and can range from September to January when a new budget year is started. Healthcare organizations may operate on a 12- or 18-month budget cycle. They typically have to budget capital expenses months in advance to be approved in the next budget review.
What are the common challenges facing this market that video surveillance can help solve?
Palmquist: Budget cuts have meant reduced personnel for many healthcare organizations. Surveillance helps keep an eye on patients, providing alerts when safety issues are detected, such as Alzheimer's patients wandering outside designated areas or elderly patients who suffer falls. Also, for security reasons, there is often a need to manage pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and equipment. In cancer clinics, for example, clinicians may use nuclear medications as part of radiation therapy, which need to be kept under close surveillance for safety and security measures. In maternity wards, baby abductions are a serious threat that IP video surveillance can be used to thwart. In general, the health sector has to deal with lots of people coming and going from multiple access points at all times of day and night, including shift workers, patients, visitors, medics, and delivery personnel. This high-traffic, complex business environment can always benefit from video management.
What is a regulation unique to healthcare that video surveillance resellers need to be aware of?
Palatsoukas: Protecting patient privacy within the requirements of HIPAA needs to be a top priority for VARs who want to sell video surveillance solutions to this market.
Palmquist: In addition to being mindful of where cameras are installed, VARs may need to deploy masking solutions with their video cameras, which allow them to block part of the camera's view (e.g. in bathrooms) and/or to determine at which times a video camera may be activated or turned off in order to comply with privacy requirements.
What are some unique applications for cameras in the healthcare vertical?
Palatsoukas: More often, end users are looking at integrating multiple systems within a single-user interface or application. One interesting application in healthcare is the integration of a video platform with a monitoring system, where cameras would be triggered and displayed if an external alarm is triggered (e.g. a patient with Alzheimer's wanders off, or an infant is abducted). These types of integrations offer healthcare end users a more complete view of their systems and facilities and arm them with timely video information when they are assessing incidents. Other unique applications include sleep-lab evaluations and surgical procedures monitoring where IP video can add significant value.
Palmquist: The most interesting implementations are not only from the cameras, but from integrations of video management systems, as described earlier, which can be used with other systems.
2 VMS Pitfalls To Avoid
Systems integrators have a lot of choices when it comes to selecting VMS (video management software) to bundle with their IP video cameras. To reduce the chances of making a poor buying decision, Jimmy Palatsoukas, senior manager of product marketing at Genetec, warns against making the following common mistakes:

What Conn said in 1931:
"King of saxophones"
In orchestras or bands, on the stage or in the ballroom, over the radio or in the orchestra pit, there you will find this superb instrument playing a leading role. It is truly the King of the Saxophones. The Eb alto is one of the original saxophones invented by Sax, but the alto, as made today by Conn, far surpasses the original model, due to fundemental improvements in design, bore, tone hole location and key mechanism. Among these improvements are the Hydraulic Expansion Process which ensures a glassy-smooth inside surface, tone hole sockets pulled integral from the body metal and rolled, improved pads and knurled tuning device. These are exclusive Conn improvements and are found on no other saxophone. That is why the Conn alto saxophone is the choice of a host of the world's greatest saxophone artists.

Martha Eaton- … I asked her if her Husband had been beating her? She said, yes, – he had been beating her in the Garden. I said it was a cruel Thing to beat a Woman so. Aye, says she, – I have been married above forty Years, and have had seventeen Children.
Susannah Broom was a woman from the eighteenth century, who like many other women from this era married a man who was abusive. Susannah's, neighbors and friends over heard her fights with Mr. Broom for many years; they even witnessed her bruised and bloodied body. But what none of them could have predicted was that after 40 years of his abuse, and at the age of 67, Susannah would murder her husband, Mr. Broom.
In December of 1739, Susannah was taken to court because she was accused of the murder of her husband. Ten of her neighbors came to the court hearing to discuss the accusation. Susannah was not allowed to defend herself, or to speak on her own behalf; she was allowed a few one line sentences and nothing else during the trial. Susannah was not a violent or murderous woman, nor was she abusive to her husband or disobedient of his rules. However, after much discussion from her neighbors, and little from herself, she was found guilty of the murder, and was sentenced to death by burning on the stake in Tyburn.
In Susannah's era women were often stuck in a cycle of slavery which often led to death. Women in the eighteenth century, like Susannah, were rarely allowed to have an education, job, or life in society. Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, describes perfectly what Susannah's life would have been like. Like Mary in the "Vindication," if Susannah had not married Mr. Broom then she would have had to turn to prostitution, stealing, and begging to make a living in society; all of which ended in death. If you were caught prostituting, could have gotten into trouble for committing adultery on another woman's husband and sentenced to death. If you were a woman and you stole you were sentenced to death. And if you ended up having to beg for a living then you would often starve to death because men had most of the control over money and they would rarely give any to a begging woman. Susannah was alone in the world, and she turned to Mr. Broom for support; she had to marry him for the sense of security in society. Often women were pushed to get married because there really was no other way out of the cycle of death that society created, however they were often unhappy in their marriages.
A Marriage in the eighteenth century was not like the marriages we see today, Anne Mellor says in her article (1) Righting the Wrongs of Women that laws stated, once a man and woman were married, "[a] man and wife [became] one person in law; the wife los[t] all rights as a single woman, and her existence [was] entirely absorbed in that of her husband." Yet, women married because without a man they had no place in society. Susannah Broom got married probably thinking she would be better off in her marriage than trying to make it in society. But what she probably didn't see coming was that there were also laws allowing her husband to beat her not only to steal her identity, but also to beat her. This was not always the case but for many women it was; they would marry in order to survive the cruel society they lived in, and the men married to inherit whatever the woman had to offer, and to assume the right to take the woman's identity and beat her. Wendy Moore states in her article, 18th Century Domestic Violence, that "[m]arital violence is as old as marriage itself. In Georgian England, husbands were legally entitled to strike their wives in order to 'correct' their conduct so long as moderation was the watchword. One judge, Francis Buller, even went so far as to specify that a husband could beat his wife with a stick so long as it was no thicker than his thumb, earning himself the nickname 'Judge Thumb' in satirical prints for his wisdom." You might ask, well why did women get married in the eighteenth century if they knew that the man could own AND abuse them. Tricky question, but like I said before, women were not given a chance in society unless they had husbands, and they were willing to suffer the beating their husbands would give them, rather than die in a society that did much worse to them.
Like many women in the eighteenth century, Susannah did not seem to have had a choice as to whether or not she should murder her husband. First she was forced into an unhappy marriage because of the way society was at the time. Then she was beaten for over 40 years, while her neighbors knew she was being beaten, they could not step in and help. Society would have punished them too. These three horrifying aspects of Susannah's life can be observed in her trial as evidence that Susannah was not a plotting murderess but rather a woman who felt trapped by the world around her, and her only escape was to end her husband's life, and in turn her own.
Mary Coombes, a neighbor to the Broom's, said in her part of the trial that on the night of the murder, Mr. Broom was out drinking most of the night. When he returned home Susannah had locked him out. Mary said she heard him ask Susannah to let him in because he was freezing, and she refused. Mary also noted that this happened a lot, where Mr. Broom would leave and when he would return he would almost always be locked out. I can only assume that the reason Susannah locked him out was for fear of his drunken return, and probable abuse. Mary Eaton, a neighbor and friend to Susannah, stated that on the morning after the murder, "The Prisoner came that Morning to my Shop about Three o'clock, for a Farthing Candle: Her Arms and Face were all over Blood, and likewise the Round of her Head. I asked her if her Husband had been beating her? She said, yes." I believe Susannah was trying to catch the attention of her neighbors and friends by walking the streets bruised and bloody. I also believe she caused scenes with Mr. Broom because she wanted the neighbors to step in, and tell him to stop. However, because of the law that stated that Mr. Broom was allowed to beat her, no one could have saved her from her ultimate fate.
Susannah was not a bad woman, or a bad wife, and she did not want to kill her husband. She was just like the majority of women from the eighteenth century; she was born into a society with few women's rights, and most odds against her. Because of the events that occurred in Susannah's life, she was almost forced to kill her husband. She felt trapped because without a husband she wouldn't have been able to make it in society, but she was being beaten badly, and every time she tried to get rid of him he kept coming back very drunk and more angry than before. When she finally let him back inside the house, and he began to beat her, she made her final decision. She took out her pen knife, and stabbed his legs, chest, and stomach in a rage she could not stop. And at the age of 67 she was finally free. Most of her neighbors claim to have heard Mr. Broom's cries of murder, but none of them tried to stop her. That may have been their way of apologizing for letting her be beaten for so many years. The following morning, after the murder, Susannah fled to Burford, Oxfordshire for three months of an abuse free life with her sister. Sadly, she was found and taken to court. Where neither she, nor any of her neighbors or friends were allowed to defend her. In the end she was found guilty and sentenced to burn on the stake in Tyburn, on December 21, 1739.

Capogna back in at center
Nick Capogna is fine. After taking off two series, he's back at center for the Bulls, who still haven't clicked offensively. After gaining 41 yards on their first drive, USF has gone three-and-out on three drives since.
It's been a rough first quarter for senior receiver Amarri Jackson, who already has three drops, and a lost fumble that was negated by an offsides penalty by Elon.

With the eyes of the nation watching, Florida junior defensive lineman Damien Jacobs came up with one of the biggest plays of his college career during Saturday's Southeastern Conference game against LSU.
With the eyes of the nation watching, Florida junior defensive lineman Damien Jacobs came up with one of the biggest plays of his college career during Saturday's Southeastern Conference game against LSU.
Jacobs, a former H.L. Bourgeois High defensive standout who played two years at East Mississippi Community College before transferring to Florida earlier this year, recorded his first quarterback sack as a member of the Gators during the 14-6 win over LSU in Gainesville, Fla.
Jacobs' sack on LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger came in the second quarter, and it was one of four season-high sacks for the Gators.
Jacobs finished with two tackles, one tackle for a loss and a sack for Florida. The game was televised nationally on CBS.
The Gators (5-0 overall, 4-0 in SEC) will travel to Vanderbilt for a 6 p.m. game on ESPNU. Florida is ranked No. 4 in this week's The Associated Press college football poll.
LSU senior tight end Chase Clement, a former E.D. White Catholic standout, finished with one catch for 7 yards against Florida. The Tigers (5-1, 1-1 in SEC) will face No. 3 South Carolina at 7 p.m. Saturday in Baton Rouge.
