This past week we announced the names of the six finalists who will compete for $70,000 in design and development costs at the May 3rd finals. The finals will take place at General Assembly in New York, where the six companies will pitch to judges from leading venture capital firms such as Greycroft Partners, First Round Capital, Norwest Venture Partners, Samsung Ventures, and 645 Ventures. Recently added to the judging panel is John Biggs, an entrepreneur who spent fifteen years as an editor for Gizmodo, CrunchGear and TechCrunch.
The finalists are:
- Conductor: a mobile assistant for transit that uses crowdsourcing and machine learning to make simple, real-time recommendations. (San Francisco, CA)
- FactoryShop: a B2B app that helps factories efficiently order new machine parts. (Cambridge, MA)
- Mindset: a wearable-connected app that helps users manage stress by providing bite-size therapy exercises. (St. Louis, MO)
- Silvernest: an online roommate-matching service for baby boomers and empty nesters that have (or need) rooms to share. (Boulder, CO)
- SoftSpot: a sensor system for clothing that monitors biometric and environmental metrics and provides fitness data through an app. (New York, NY)
- Tuckrbox: a farm-to-lunchbox delivery app for kids. (New York, NY)
We have also named one runner-up: Who's Got Game, an app that helps users find the best place to watch sports games they want to see. (Los Angeles, CA)
With submissions coming from more than 30 states and 35 countries, the App Idea Awards represents a diverse pool of aspiring entrepreneurs. We asked entrants to demonstrate both entrepreneurial vision and the ability to execute the proposed app business plan, as well as an understanding of user flow, design and monetization. A panel that included representatives from Microsoft Ventures, Two Sigma, ERA Accelerator, and the J&J Innovation Center whittled hundreds of app ideas down to the six finalists.
The next phase for the remaining app inventors will be preparation for next month's pitch-off. The App Idea Awards has connected the six finalists with mentors who will help them improve their pitches and streamline their business plans.
"I'm thrilled to be working with the innovative thinkers who submitted their app ideas for this competition," said Sergio Monsalve, Partner at Norwest Venture Partners and an App Idea Awards judge. "As a longtime investor in entrepreneurs, I am excited for this chance to guide the next generation of founders as they bring their products to market. The ideas coming out of this competition have been extremely high quality."
Created by ROKO Labs in partnership with General Assembly, Harvard Business School Alumni Angels of Greater New York and the Columbia Venture Community, the App Idea Awards makes it possible for anyone with an idea to build a product, whether or not the individual is a coder. The winning company, as decided by the judges, will not have to give up any intellectual property rights or equity in exchange for the grand prize. Additional prizes, including the ability to work with TBWA on launch plans, will be awarded to the winner.
"Hosting the App Idea Awards has shown us that the amount of creativity among current and aspiring inventors is even more than we ever could've imagined," said Dmitry Rakovitsky, Founder and CEO of ROKO Labs. "We look forward to seeing what all of the companies that participated in the Awards accomplish in years to come."

Internet, meet Siri. Siri, meet the internet.
Surprise! It's not really Siri. Obviously, Siri is a computer program on the iPhone, but Susan Bennett is the voice behind the virtual assistant.
Bennett says the sassy, somewhat martyred, voice was a product of some July 2005 recording sessions for GM Voices. The company was working for a software company called ScanSoft that was constructing a speech database and looking for the perfect woman's voice. From there, Bennett read "nonsensical" phrases for four hours a day for an entire month, which eventually became the vocabulary of Siri. In October 2011, she found out she was iPhone-famous from a friend who recognized her voice on the phone.
There has been some speculation over who had the voice behind Siri since the voice debuted. Allison Dufty, another voice actress, was once rumored to be behind the virtual assitant, but Dufty quickly debunked the theory on her blog. Both the British Siri, Jon Briggs, and the Austrailian Siri, Karen Jacobsen, have come forward in the past to reveal their identities, but Bennett hung back because she was unsure if she wanted to deal with the limelight or the potential legal issues. For the record, Apple hasn't confirmed that Bennett is Siri, but GM Voices confirmed it's her voice and her lawyer all but confirmed it.
It's not Bennet's first brush with machine-voice fame. She was the voice of First National's ATM as "Tillie the All Time Teller." Apparently, First National was nervous their customers would be scared away from the bank by the faceless ATM and decided a human would make the ads less intimidating.
In the videos, Bennet sang a song to the tune of "If You Knew Susie":
"Oh, if you knew Tillie like I know Tillie
Oh, oh, oh, what a girl!
She works to please me, to make life easy
Oh, oh, she makes my banking smooth and breezy
Day or nighttime, I don't care
When I need money, I know my all-time teller's there!
If you knew Tillie, like I know Tillie
Oh, oh, oh!"
She's also been the voice of a few GPS units and telephone systems. She even does the tag lines in the airport, "Thank you for using Delta Airlines." [Between my iPhone and my GPS, the amount of times I've yelled at this poor woman is probably astounding.] Her voice is, quite literally, everywhere.
At the end of the day, Bennett says hearing her voice on the phone is a little bit creepy, but that she got used to it. Thankfully, Siri and her human voice are now friends.
I feel like I have a personal connection with this woman. Siri helps me with directions, phone calls, Googling random bits of information, setting reminders, and debunking my dad's "fun facts." Once, she even sang me "If I Only Had a Brain" while I was stuck in traffic. Though it's cool to get a "peek behind the curtain", I liked having a faceless assistant. Now when she makes me mad—and she does occasionally—I'll feel like I'm fighting with Susan instead of Siri.

A Dog's Purpose, from noted director Lasse Hallström (The Cider House Rules, Dear John, The Hundred-Foot Journey), is based on the beloved bestselling novel by W. Bruce Cameron. According to the official website, "it shares the soulful and surprising story of one devoted dog (voiced by Josh Gad) who finds the meaning of his own existence through the lives of the humans he teaches to laugh and love. The family film is told from the dog's perspective [as he passes through multiple incarnations, from a golden retriever to a German shepherd, a citified Corgi and a big old mutt]. It also stars Dennis Quaid, Britt Robertson, KJ Apa, John Ortiz, Juliet Rylance, Luke Kirby, Peggy Lipton, and Pooch Hall." A Dog's Purpose was produced by Gavin Polone (Zombieland, TV's Gilmore Girls).
Following the film will be a lively and engaging presentation by the film's award-winning music editor Gedney Webb (Chicago, The Hundred-Foot Journey). Webb will offer an insider's perspective on the making of the film. Gedney Webb comes from the music side of the film business where he's been a music editor for over 20 years. He's worked with some of Hollywood's greatest talent including Ron Howard, David Chase, Robert De Niro, Wes Anderson, and Ang Lee. Most notably, Gedney received a Golden Reel for his work on the Academy Award-winning film Chicago. Gedney is currently working on The Nutcracker and the Four Realms for Walt Disney Pictures, scheduled for a Christmas 2018 release.
"A Dog's Purpose is a highly anticipated major release film," said FilmOneFest Managing Director Corinna Thuss.

Republican candidate for State Treasurer, Dave Jamison, launched a radio ad entitled "Families." The ad highlights the stark difference between Jamison and Michael Fitzgerald's budgeting practices.
Instead of continuing down the same path of more debt and corruption, Jamison is offering new ideas, solutions and style of management for the State Treasurer's Office. The State Treasurer is responsible for investing, protecting and managing taxpayers dollars. Michael Fitzgerald has failed to protect and manage taxpayer dollars. Not only did he approve almost $1.0 Billion in borrowing, he has resorted to using taxpayer dollars to fund his own campaign.
"As a husband and father, I understand families must live on a budget but so should the State. Spending in Iowa has grown and hundreds of millions of dollars of hard working Iowans tax dollars have been lost to out of state investors," said Dave Jamison.
Jamison continued, "It's time to put Iowa first and I am committed to upholding the integrity of the Office of the State Treasurer. I pledge to work with the Executive Council and the Governor to curtail the out of control spending and bring new fiscal leadership to Des Moines."

There are no more bumps in the road; Pittsburg is officially back in a key regional transportation planning alliance.
Member agencies in the East Contra Costa Regional Fee and Financing Authority have finalized a deal bringing the city back into the group three years after it separated because it thought local projects were being shortchanged.
The new pact sets $5.5 million in funding for Pittsburg's long-sought 1.7-mile extension of James Donlon Boulevard and a future eBART station; establishes a rigid project priority list for the region; and locks all member agencies into the authority until 2031.
"We're happy with the unanimous vote on the settlement and pleased that by rejoining, it accelerates and provides certainty for James Donlon and BART," said Pittsburg Vice Mayor Sal Evola, who represents the city on transportation issues.
The money allows Pittsburg to acquire right-of-way, secure environmental clearance and design James Donlon, a long-sought two-lane expressway through the steep hills south of town. About $196,000 would cover legal fees.
Pittsburg will also again receive local "return to source" funds, as TRANSPLAN, which oversees regional plans, withdrew its objections with the county that the city is out of compliance with regional transportation standards.
Agency members say they are eager to move forward.
"It's a relief to have it resolved," said Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor, who represents that city on transportation issues. "To have all of the cities back as a cohesive group as we address more issues in the future is good for us all."
County Supervisor Federal Glover, of Pittsburg, points out that being united makes it easier to lobby for state and federal dollars.
"We've been able to see success when working together," said Glover, noting that about a billion dollars' worth of transit improvements are currently under construction. "But no one is going to want to give support where there is a divide."
After Pittsburg left the authority in September 2010, TRANSPLAN sued the city the following April. It appeared that a settlement had been reached in summer 2012, but the offer was abruptly withdrawn in November, and the suit was dropped.
After that, the two sides worked on a new compromise.
"I think we were all probably surprised it took as long to resolve as it did," Taylor said.
Taking commuters off Buchanan Road will greatly benefit residents in Antioch and farther east, Evola said.
Past studies indicate that about 90 percent of the traffic on James Donlon would not be Pittsburg commuters.

Running Red Lights and Stop Signs in West Virginia
Penalties and enforcement for running red lights and stop signs in West Virginia.
Running a stop sign or red light is one of the most common moving violations (especially popular when police officers must meet their ticket quotas for the month). Here are the basics on the enforcement, defenses and penalties for this offense in West Virginia.
Where and How to Stop
Stop signs and traffic lights, sometimes referred to as traffic-control devices, are placed at intersections and crossings requiring the driver to come to a full stop at the "limit line" (a line painted on the street indicating where to stop), or if there is no limit line, at the entrance to the intersection or crossing.
West Virginia's Red Light/Stop Sign Law
West Virginia's red light and stop sign law states:
§17C-3-4. Obedience to traffic-control devices; official signs to be in proper position, etc; penalty.
(a) The driver of any vehicle and the operator of any streetcar shall obey the instructions of any official traffic-control device applicable thereto placed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, unless otherwise directed by a traffic or police officer, subject to the exceptions granted the driver of an authorized emergency vehicle in this chapter.
(b) Any person violating the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars; upon a second conviction within one year thereafter, shall be fined not more than two hundred dollars; and upon a third or subsequent conviction, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars.
(c) No provision of this chapter for which signs are required shall be enforced against an alleged violator if at the time and place of the alleged violation an official sign is not in proper position and sufficiently legible to be seen by an ordinarily observant person. Whenever a particular section does not state that signs are required, such section shall be effective even though no signs are erected or in place.
The fine for running a red light is approximately $75 in West Virginia. These fines may change over time and differ by county. Check with the county clerk for the most current fines.
"The Right on Red" Rule
Like most states, West Virginia allows drivers to make a turn on a red light in certain situations – typically if there is no sign prohibiting "right on red," and if it is safe to do so under the circumstances.
Left on Red Rule
West Virginia permits left turns on red lights provided both the origin and destination streets are one way.
The "Yellow-Light Rule" in West Virginia
In West Virginia it is not illegal to deliberately drive through a yellow light. A yellow light means only that traffic facing the light is "warned" that a red light will soon follow. As long as your vehicle entered the intersection or passed the crosswalk or limit line before the light turned red, you haven't broken the law.
Possible Defenses:
- The officer could not see your full stop. Occasionally, an officer will park on a cross street so that all is visible is the stop sign and limit line, and maybe a few feet of road in front of the line or sign. A conscientious driver might well come to a complete stop a few feet behind the line where the officer can't see; then, having already stopped as required, drive ahead into the intersection. If this happens to you, you should try to find out where the officer was parked. Later you can take pictures from that location to show just how limited the officer's view was.
- You could not see the stop sign or red light. It may happen that local conditions made the device unviewable to you—for example, leaves from adjacent trees covered or obscured your view of a stop sign until it was too late to stop. This too can be shown with photographic evidence, and establishes the defense that you were neither willful nor criminally negligent in driving through it.
- The "recently installed" defense. One other possible (if rare) defense applies to newly installed devices. For example, it's all too easy to miss seeing a recently installed stop sign on a familiar road. Willfulness or carelessness is an implied essential element of every violation and a judge may find you not guilty if the stop sign wasn't visible until too late, or you didn't realize it had just been installed.
- "Didn't stop at the line" defense. People sometimes get a ticket because they stopped in front of the limit line or crosswalk, rather than behind. If this happens to you, perhaps you can truthfully testify that it hasn't been repainted for so long that it was unnoticeable. Here again, a picture is truly better than a thousand words.
No Red Light Cameras
West Virginia has laws that prohibit the use of red light cameras – devices that photograph drivers running red lights and automatically issue tickets.

Early Life
The youngest child of Brian and Alisa Jones and the younger brother of Jessica Jones. While growing up he and his sister kept on marking their height on one of the doorposts in their house.
Phillip had a bickering, yet loving, relationship with his older sister. On the day before his death, Phillip annoyed Jessica to the point that she taped him to a tree. Despite this, the two loved each other deeply with Jessica describing him as a great kid.[2]
Phillip, along with his parents and sister, were going on a vacation. He and Jessica got into a fight over a video game. Their father, Brian, turned around to stop the fight; in doing so he took his eyes off the road and the family crashed with a truck carrying a container of chemicals. The accident killed him and his parents leaving Jessica in a coma.[2]

The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) Welfare Services and medical teams were first on the scene to give relief and rescue assistance to the people of Batangas after a magnitude 5.5 earthquake shook the province on Tuesday, April 4.
According to PRC Operations Center, PRC first aid and welfare staff and volunteers were immediately deployed to assess the area and help the affected families. In response, PRC Batangas Chapter provided First Aid to two students who had suffered from hyperventilation and dizziness, transported one student from Batangas National High School to the Ospital ng Lipa, assisted 19 intubated babies to PRC tents, provided psychosocial support to 50 individuals, and set up welfare desks, three tents, three units of generators, five folding beds, and five cot beds at the Batangas Medical Center. Nearby PRC chapters (NCR and Southern Luzon) were immediately alerted and are currently on standby for monitoring and further assistance, should it be necessary.
In anticipation of the "Big One," PRC, with its trained 143 volunteers, has been preparing for years, and is fine-tuning its current response strategies to predicted large-scale disaster. Rubb halls, ambulances, emergency field hospitals (EFH), rescue trucks, pay loaders, water tankers, generators, and thousands of doctors, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), surgeons, trained first aiders, and Red Cross 143 volunteers are prepositioned in case a mass casualty incident happens.
PRC also has fire trucks and Humvees in its emergency fleet, as well as equipment that are necessary for surviving the first few days of the aftermath of the disaster, such as generators, satellite phones, portable comfort rooms, water bladders, and tents that can be used as temporary shelters.
Should said earthquake also take place, PRC also has its own humanitarian ship at its disposal, a twin-hulled vessel that cuts through extremely choppy seas. It runs at 20 knots, can accommodate 120 evacuees, together with 20 vehicles. It can be used as rapid transport and landing vessel for Red Cross' emergency units. It will also serve as relief supply transport ship, medical facility deployment ship, sea rescue and mass evacuation vessel, humanitarian logistics ship, mobile operations command post, and humanitarian education and training ship.
PRC is reminding the public to be informed about what to do before, during, and after an earthquake. To help equip the public with life-saving skills, PRC created the Hazard App and the First Aid PH app, both available for free at the App Store and Google Play Store.

I need replacement track for the attached photo, this track is 5'long, 2 1/2 wide. overall height is 3/4". we are looking to get this item in bulk, if they come in 10'lengths that would be great, thanks Ed
Tom from SWISCO responded:
February 25, 2015
Thank you for contacting us. I'm not sure if we have an exact match, but our 23-256 appears very similar. One important detail to consider is the distance between the two rails.
I'm afraid we do not have these in 10' lengths, but you can use two together if you cut off the excess.

Greig Laidlaw believes victory over Georgia this weekend would set Scotland up nicely for the Six Nations next year.
After a narrow defeat to Australia in the opening game of the international series, Scotland showed great fight to beat Argentina 19-16 at Murrayfield.
They meet Georgia on Saturday in what will be their last match before the Six Nations kicks off in February, and Laidlaw is targeting back-to-back victories to boost morale within the squad.
"If you can win games back to back, it builds confidence and momentum," he said.
"The next time this group comes together after this game [with Georgia] will be for the Six Nations so if we can win again after Saturday, it will be huge for us.
"It makes such a big difference. It means the boys have confidence in each other and everything we are trying to do out on the field.
"To be honest, even though we fell short against Australia, we can still take confidence from the performance we put in.
"If we can get a performance and a result this weekend we'll be in a great spot. We enjoyed winning on Saturday so it's very important we finish off this series with another win."
Scotland face Ireland in their Six Nations opener on February 4.

Yesterday I wrote a post about a nurse here at the hospital, I have since removed it.
Because she and I are alike:
She was efficient without compassion, I was honest without compassion.
She had an attitude, I gave it right back to her.
She needs the love of Jesus and so do I.
We are sisters, twins
For those that read that post you may be wondering how I came to this
My first twinge of guilt came when I read my sister-in-law's comment of how Jesus came to the heal the sick not the well. I was like: "ouch".
Later, in tears my dad said he needed to apologize to "that" nurse. He realized that she was only trying to do her job in an efficient manner and he was being difficult. I wanted to tell him he was nuts, but I just couldn't. In my spirit, I knew he was right, I was wrong. I was being a hypocrite....belly-aching about something, yet doing that same thing.
My daddy is still fathering me, showing me what is right, even on his death bed
I'm sure many of you have heard the 'golden rule': "Do to others as you want them to do to you" That's a quote from Jesus. Not "do to others as they have done to you" as I did.
This is what I am going to do today...instead of "reporting" said nurse, I am going to seek her out and apologize to her, thank her for her efficiency and explain how her attitude hurt us. If I can not do this in person, I will write her a note and leave it at the nurse's station.
It's so easy to say I love God and want to follow Him, but so hard to live it out. I don't really 'want' to become vulnerable before her, she has hurt me...but this is exactly what God has said I am to do.

I just wanted to ask some questions to any of you who are ahead of me. I'm now 5 mos post radiation for tonsillar cancer. I am still on my feeding tube and my saliva is still not flowing normally. I find myself getting very depressed because I cannot eat like I used to and the Holidays make my depression even worse. I guess I just need reassurance from someone that my saliva will get better and that I really will be able to eat again so I won't be tied to this ball and chain (feeding tube). Even though I am thankful for having the tube, I feel that the recovery is so very slow and is just dragging on and on. Did any of you experience these type of feelings? Did things get better for you?
Nov 26, 2007 - 1:02 pm
Every case is different, but things should get better. I fibbed a little, saying I was able to eat a little and had my PEG removed 3 months to the day after my last radiation. At that time I was able to choke down a small amount of food, but most of my nutrition came from Ensure. It hurts and it's scary, but you have to keep trying.
One thing that helped me was going to therapy. I had x-rays taken while I tried to swallow different things. They told me what I needed to work on and sent me to a speech therapist.
Hang in there.
Everyone, don't be afraid to eat in front of people or go out to eat. Order soup or something. It helps to make you feel normal again.
Nov 26, 2007 - 1:54 pm
Hi MLC53,
It's been so long since I had trouble swallowing that I do not remember much about it. I didn't have a feeding tube. I used Boost and Ensure a lot and little by little I started eating soft things, soup, etc. Soups can be put in blender so it is easier to swallow.
A friend of mine had a feeding tube and trouble swallowing. There is some sort of therapy, can't remember the name, but it teaches you exercises for swallowing that you can practice at home with water. Check with your doctor about this.
There is a book: "Eating Hints - Recipes and Tips for Better Nutrition During Cancer Treatment" that not only has good advice but also provides some recipes. You can order it from the National Cancer Institute and it is Publication No. 90-2079. Office of Cancer Communications - National Cancer Institute - Building 31, Room 10 A 24 - Bethesda, Maryland 20892 - Tel: 1-800-4-CANCER. The book is either free or very cheap.
By the way, for severe dryness, there is an artificial saliva that can be prescribed by your doctor.
Treatment and healing are not easy so it is normal to feel depressed. If you thing you are getting too depressed, seek the help of a therapist. Many oncology and radiation depts. have social workers on call that may be able to help you.
Even though everybody is different, I think things are going to get better for you. It just takes time. Be patient and don't lose hope.
Like 3_Putt says, Hang in there and try not to be bothered about eating in front of other people. Not only will it help you feel normal but it will probably help with depression.
Exercise such as walking can help with depression too.
All the best,
Nov 29, 2007 - 8:26 am
I had radiation Oct.2006 for larynx recurred Oct.2007 had neck dissection . I have a trach and feeding tube and yes it is depressinfg for me. I hope to get trach out tomorrow but I don't know about feeding tube I can swallow small sips of water and smoothies. I am going to therapy starting tomorrow . We just have to keep on pushing everybody says it will get better.
Dec 01, 2007 - 4:13 am
Hi, MLC53! I second everything TereB wrote. Hang in there. The holidays make things hard. I think it helps to be in friendly competition with yourself with regard to eating. But, do know that your experience is not unusual, and you are not alone.
Dec 03, 2007 - 3:19 pm
All of the given advice is great, MLC53, but I would like to express at least a mild bit of caution with respect to one idea. It is not always in your best interest, depending on the extent of your current physical makeup, to eat without trepidation in front of others, if at all. As previous advisors have indicated, we are individuals, as are our cancers and our treatments to at least some degree, so it is hard for me to encourage you to eat in front of others at any particular point in your progress.
If you feel you are not ready for that, and, believe me, I understand that feeling, I suggest this instead, very strongly: do NOT simply avoid holiday festivities because of this.
It IS painful not to be able to eat with your loved ones and friends, and even physically painful to smell the aromas, to hear the sounds (the clinking of glasses, the clang of forks, the murmuring of voices, the shouts of laughter), to see the foods, all that surround the wonderful act of eating, especially at festive occasions. It can be overwhelming, I know, and that is to say nothing of the emotional aspect, the feeling of exclusion.
Let me just say this: as a cancer survivor, you now know better than most how important time is. Your loved ones WANT you to be part of the festivities even if you do not participate in eating the meal. The idea of soup or whatever, is great if you are up for it, but if not, do not hesitate to simply join at the table to participate in what is, after all, the most important part of the function: being with one another and sharing our experiences and love and friendship, the socializing.
You will never get these times back, and your family and friends are as aware of this as you are.
Good luck with this, and remember to approach it all with hope and humor.
Dec 07, 2007 - 11:16 am
I just replied under tonsil cancer & wanted to add that this is a Very Slow recovery process but you Will get better! I had a real issue with mucus also. Thank God for the peg tube & when it is time you will have it out, but 5 mos. is really nothing when you realize I have been 2 years out & just starting to eat now - I have been making high power nutrition drinks that have kept me healthy & taste good. Keep the faith as you will improve each day!!
Dec 09, 2007 - 5:45 pm
Hi Marie!
Dec 10, 2007 - 9:15 pm
Hi Bill, thanks for the response. Sounds like you're doing better as well. I will try to take your comments into consideration and keep the faith that it will get better. It's just taking so doggone long though! I guess I'm just getting impatient. The PT for the lymphadema in my neck seems to be helping quite a bit. Thanks for the tip!!!! :-)

Warren shines in debate debut
Credit: Nancy Lane
Elizabeth Warren officially kicked off her much-anticipated foray into the political arena by whacking U.S. Sen. Scott Brown on the economy and trumpeting her record of going "toe-to-toe" with financial behemoths, as she did battle with five Democrats in this first 2012 Senate debate.
"Forbes magazine named Scott Brown Wall Street's favorite senator. I was thinking that's probably not an award I'm going to get," Warren said, storming out of the gate in her first public debate, which was streamed live on bostonherald.com.
Warren, the darling of the national Democratic Party, focused on her work as a consumer watchdog under President Obama in the primary debate, co-sponsored by the Herald and the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. With UML chancellor and former U.S. Rep. Martin Meehan as moderator, Warren squared off with City Year founder Alan Khazei, state Rep. Thomas P. Conroy (D-Wayland), activist Bob Massie, attorney Marisa DeFranco and engineer Herb Robinson in the packed, 1,000-seat Durgin Hall on the Lowell campus.
"For me, what this is all about and what it's been about from the beginning ... is about middle class families," Warren said. "America's middle class has been hammered and squeezed ... this is my life's work."
Watch a replay of the debate below
The 90-plus minute debate, the first of the 2012 race for Brown's seat, featured questions from a panel of four UMass-Lowell students as well as several from online viewers.
The forum was heavily focused on the economy, and many candidates took shots at Brown, a Wrentham Republican. Warren was in a statistical dead heat with Brown in a new poll this week by UMass-Lowell and the Herald.
"I've stood toe-to-toe with the largest financial institutions in the country and sometimes our own government," Warren said to applause. "I've fought with them over mortgages, credit cards. ... You have to be willing to take the fight directly to Wall Street and directly to Washington."
The Harvard professor was polished, avoided any missteps and displayed flashes of wit. When a student pointed out that Brown posed bare-chested for Cosmopolitan magazine to pay for college and asked how she paid for college, Warren replied: "I kept my clothes on."
Conroy, who served in the Legislature with Brown, also took shots at the GOP bigwig.
"I am the best chance to beat Scott Brown. Next to me he will come across as nothing more than an empty suit," Conroy said. "I know Scott Brown, and I know his weaknesses."
Khazei said he wanted to be a "game-changer" in the Senate and said of Brown: "He's delivered nothing."
Massie, meanwhile, said Brown was beholden to Tea Partiers, whom he claimed pumped $14 million into the 2010 election to "slap Massachusetts in the face" for decades of rule by the late Democratic U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
Warren said she opposed marijuana legalization, while Khazei said he supported medicinal marijuana and revealed that he has smoked pot, quipping: "By the way, I did inhale, and I did enjoy it."
Warren used the forum to roll out her personal narrative, which included having three brothers in the military, including one who flew combat missions in Vietnam. She also spoke of her family's hardships after her father had a heart attack, saying that her mother worked at Sears to support the family.
"I worked hard for everything I got," she said. "But I grew up in an America that was full of opportunity. America has lost its way."
Warren escaped her first debate unscathed, although Khazei took a veiled shot by railing against "Washington PACs" and "special interest money" dominating politics. Warren has emerged as the favored candidate of Washington Democrats, chief among them Obama adviser David Axelrod.
Meehan called the event "an excellent, substantive debate."

Boomer Signs for US College
Boomer youth league MVP of 2012 Tessa Ramsay this week signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI) for an athletic scholarship to attend Newman University in Wichita, Kansas to study and play basketball for the 2013/14 US academic year.
Tessa is a lifelong Boomer junior so this is a great story about one of the pathway options available to junior basketballers at our Club who come up through the VJBL, but are also good students and would like to combine their tertiary study with further basketball development in the US college system.
We stand to be corrected, but we believe that Shannon Malone was the last Boomer junior to attend US college, with Shannon completing her studies at Bridgeport University and returning home a couple of years ago. Before that, WNBL star and former junior Hanna Zavecz attended the University of Wyoming between 2004 and 2008, before returning to play WNBL at Bulleen and be a part of the 2011 Championship team.
Tessa started playing basketball at Bulleen as an 8 year old with Templestowe Heights Primary School in our Primary School Competition at Sheahan's Road. In those days, Michelle Brehens used to keep an eye on the primary school girls and Tessa was invited by Michelle to play for Bulleen in our Junior Club in the EDJBA. Tessa started out in girls D grade and over a few seasons slowly worked her way up to be playing with girls who also played in the VJBL on Friday nights.
A few of the girls invited Tessa along to watch a Friday night VJBL game and she was hooked, coming along to tryouts in 2005 as a lower age Under 14 to begin her VJBL playing days. More hard work over a few years saw her make the ones for the first time as a top age Under 16 in 2009, playing in VJCL teams through to last season in Under 20s. While never quite cracking a VJCL title, the highlight for Tessa would no doubt be capturing the National Junior Classic Gold Medal with the Boomers Under 18 girls in 2011.
As part of her basketball development, Tessa also attended Box Hill Senior Secondary for the last three years of high school. This provided the opportunity to spend more time practicing as part of the school program with Head Coach Natasha Main, but also to play with girls from other VJBL Clubs as part of the school team. The Box Hill girls played in the Australian Schools Nationals in 2011, winning the Silver Medal, and in 2012 won the Victorian College Championships (VCC) title. Also in 2012, Tessa was selected in the girls School Sport Victoria state team which won Gold at the School Sport Australia 2012 championships held at Dandenong in August.
In 2011, Tessa began her Big V career with Bulleen in joining the Youth League team and had a break out season in 2012 to lead the team in scoring and be awarded the Club MVP. She will play one more season of Big V in 2013 before heading off to college in August.
The college system is the heart and soul of amateur sport in the US. The dominant association is the NCAA and Newman University play in Division II of women's basketball in the Heartland Conference. Newman are recent back to back conference champions and have a new coach who is looking to rebuild the program for further success over the next few years. The college selectively recruits international players, with one Aussie from Adelaide on the roster as a freshman for the 2012/13 season that has just commenced.
For any other Boomer Juniors who might be thinking about US college at the end of high school, it is important to understand that getting to college is not just about being good at basketball. For once, the movie perspective is true, college is just as much about academics as it is about sport. To get to college, you have to do the right subjects at school from years 9 to 12, and you have to reach minimum grades to qualify for college consideration. There is also a test you have to sit in Year 12 called the SAT, which is a four hour standardised exam that every college prospect has to complete. You need to obtain good grades from years 9 to 12 AND achieve a certain mark on the SAT before a college will even consider your basketball ability.
Also, recent rule changes mean that you now have to go straight on to college in the year following Year 12, you can no longer have any sort of "gap" year before commencing study at a US college.
Having said all that, if you are reasonably good at school, it's not too tough. There are at least a couple of hundred Aussie kids playing basketball in the US college system - it's tougher for boys to get into the top NCAA divisions, but any girl who has played at the top level of the VJBL through Under 16s and 18s would have a good shot at NCAA Div I or Div II. If you have made state teams (or even squads) at Under 16 and/or Under 18, your chances improve further. There are also other associations such as the NAIA or Junior College as alternatives to start with - but it is quite complex, so do your research !
There are a number of people around the Club who are familiar with the college system, so if you are a Boomer junior considering US college as a future possibility, our Club General Manager David Feehan can put you in touch with people who can provide further information.
There are also other Boomers still exploring college as an option for 2013 and we will bring you further news as it comes to hand.
Comment Guidelines: The SportsTG Network is made up of players, families and passionate sports followers like you who have a strong opinion about sport. That's great - we want you to have your say and share your thoughts with the world. However, we have a few rules that you must follow to keep it fun for all. Please don't be rude, abusive, swear or vilify others. Apart from some pretty serious sport sanctions, we also can ban you and report you if things get out of hand. So play fair and have fun, and thanks for your contribution.

I've had it for about 4 days now, and the phone definitely does not vibrate as strongly when I type using the keyboard. Is this a setting somewhere that I'm missing? I guess there's a chance that my screen protector (static cling) is somehow causing the problem? Any one else dealing with this? Thanks!

A guide for Jarvan IV,the King in top lane.
Hello everyone this is Spoderman,today ill be presenting for you my guide to Jarvan top S4.
Starting off with why is it an underestimated pick,well,simply getting a frozen heart,makes you super strong,as i've explained in the notes,it gives you tons of mana and cdr,and armour that boosts your defense vs physical dmg and your tower diving ability.Also that Jarvan in the top lane can be multifunctional,he can be a great splitpusher or duelist with Bork and Youmuus,and a great tank with frozen heart and a great off-tank too,and his ability to do tons of Aoe damage especially combining Sunfire Cape and Ravenous Hydra.

It was earlier updated that Rajinikanth's Sultan the Warrior was gearing up for a January 2012 release and moreover there were plans being made to release the movie with a new title. The latest on Rajinikanths new project is that the movie will release under the title 'Dheera'. Rajini's daughter Soundarya zeroed in on 'Dheera' from a total of three likely options after much contemplation. We're told that the title Dheera has been given preference since one of the Rajinis in the movie is also called by the same name.
The movie which commenced back in 2008 has been resurfaced after the project went on hold since the animation sequences needed to be touched up. In fact it was launched with the name Sultan the Warrior and later underwent a title change in Hara,(which promised a tax exemption) and now finally it's Dheera. Apart from some great 3-D animation this new Rajini flick also has Isai Puyal A R Rahman contributing some wonderful soundscapes to make this a relishing experience.
So it's Rajinikanths Dheera coming your way this January 2012.

Undergraduate Program in the School of Communication
The undergraduate program consists of two majors: Communication or Health Communication
Communication Major
Students majoring in communication learn different ways in which communication has been conceptualized and investigated, as well as ways in which members of the communication discipline have used their knowledge and scholarship to engage a variety of social problems. Students are given opportunities to study how effective communication enhances well-being and relationships, promotes civic engagement, and allows for effective participation in a global community.
Courses focus on organizing principles and patterns of social life through observation, analysis, and criticism of human interactions, communication behavior, mediated systems, and technological innovations. This major is firmly grounded in the liberal arts and sciences and is intended to prepare students to be effective members of society, as well as valued employees in whatever careers that they may choose to pursue. Graduates have often found positions in occupations such as sales, human resources, training, education, and consulting, or have pursued advanced academic or professional degrees in fields such as law, management, and marketing.
Health Communication Major
The undergraduate major in Health Communication is the first in the State of California and one of only a handful of such programs in the United States. With a base in Communication courses, students majoring in Health Communication study topics such as doctor-patient communication, health communication campaigns, communication in health risk and crisis, and other topics in various contexts. Students also take courses in allied health-related disciplines.
This is a Bachelor of Science degree. Graduates may seek positions in a variety of health-related industries. Some will consider graduate study in one of the fastest growing areas in our field.
Communication Minor
The School of Communication offers a minor in Communication. Students whose majors are within the School of Communication are NOT allowed to pursue a minor within the School of Communication. The minor consists of a minimum of 21 units. Students may enroll in the minor after successfully completing the lower division, prerequisite courses.
Undergraduate Certificates
A certificate is a prescribed set of four courses in an area. It provides a coherent set of courses and certification of completion. This is especially attractive to international students visiting campus for a semester or a year, community members, or any non-Communication major at SDSU.
The Certificate in Health Communication engages individuals in coursework that enhances their understanding of communication surrounding health and illness. Individuals develop communication competencies with diverse populations (patients, providers, policy-makers, and other health care professions). Click here for more information on Health Communication.
The Certificate in Communication engages individuals in coursework that enhances their understanding of communication within their personal and professional lives. This for-credit certificate emphasizes and develops individuals' scholarly, creative, and professional communication competencies.
Click here for more details on the Certificate in Communication.

I know this woman.
She lives in a beautiful house worth a mill or two in the best street in town. She drives a car that would make four wheel drive enthusiasts weep as she drives it around town as a glorified shopping trolley and she has a mill or two in the bank in joint accounts. But she is the poorest woman I know. Of course the word poor is subjective. Many people would see her as one of life's winners. Married to a powerful, rich man – a banker, a forex trader, a real estate guru – he leads a charmed magazine worthy life with his beautiful family and beautiful wife. She enjoys the best that money can buy – education for her children (all four), holidays overseas in exotic destinations, and she adorns her body with tasteful shimmering status symbols that he tosses in her direction now and again. Startlingly beautiful apologies. She can afford to be picky, and she is. Every day she heads to the local market and buys the best food, bottled water (sparkling or still?) the choicest cuts of meat and all the time-saving meals a busy woman of her standing needs to keep her family fed. She can't remember the last time she ate mince. Oh wait, she can. He didn't like it and told her to never 'serve this shit to me again.' She guesses he ate enough mince as a child. She's on a first name basis with the Maitre-D's at the very best restaurants in town and when she dines, as she does so frequently, she can afford to leave half of her meal AND order dessert. No-one tells her to 'think of the starving children in Africa'. They wouldn't dare. Her pool is heated, though her bed is not. In fact, she often spends nights alone at home watching DVDs or some 'junk on the box.' Her husband works hard you see. She knows this. It's even verified in those text messages he received from his eager-to-please PA. That bumptious blonde said he worked hard. She says she likes it when he does. So her bed is often cold, but she manages with bed-socks and central heating and beautiful night attire that whilst failing to attract her honey bee to her honey pot, makes her feel better. In the morning she wakes before everyone else and prepares breakfast. They all work so hard – the kids, the husband – she does what she can to make it easier for them. She picks up the dog poo on the lawn before he wakes, and puts the first of three loads of washing on. There's a flurry of activity at breakfast and the kids are often shirty and demanding. One wants eggs, whilst another can't understand how she can eat 'baby chickens' and He wants bacon – but 'not that streaky crap'. It's chaotic as the kids head off to school and he heads off to work – early to beat the traffic – even though he came home at 2am. She heard him, in the shower. And then the house is quiet. She often heads out for a run with the dog, she has a figure to maintain after all – the surgeon can only do sooo much – and besides, she figures she won't top herself in public. Sometimes when she's out with the dog she replays vignettes of happier times. They had so little in that funny little two bed flat. But they had each other, and of course those vanilla scented baby heads. So sweet. The day wears on – a continual round of picking up and washing and trying to ignore that gnawing in her stomach. It is not empty. She has eaten today. She might spend some of the day lunching with friends who are eager to be seen out with her. Or maybe she sits in front of daytime TV and gawps at those poor woman fighting and swearing, fat pouring out of their cheap tracksuits. She once banned daytime TV. When the kids were little. She wanted them to have an outdoorsy life. She signed them up to every playschool, group, club, activity she could find. They loved it. And she did too. For brief snippets of time she was thinking about something else – how to bowl the perfect cricket ball, how to master the quintessential plié, how to make volcanoes erupt. It reminded her of that life before marriage when she had a purpose, a job and a brain. A brain she fears has now atrophied. Not that she has said it to anyone. She was a different person then, she doesn't know who she is now. She once complained to her husband and he flew into a vile rage. "You selfish bitch" he said. "I provide everything you could possibly wish for, "he said. Luckily her foundation hid the bruises well. And she never complained again. And after all, he's right. Her place is here being the midwife to everyone else's life. Part decoration, part housewife (she really did marry the house) she serves in her beautiful gilded cage. She 'can check out any time she likes, but she can never leave.'* She is the poorest woman I know. She has the money, prestige, the assemblage of a perfect life and not one shred of self-respect. She's a prisoner of fear. She is enslaved by societal expectations and her own comprehension of a successful life. She can't leave and really, what would she leave for? Where would she go? Back to the two bed flat and a job cleaning motels? She tells herself she'll leave when the kids have grown and left home. She's lying to herself, and she is the poorest woman I know. Do you know her too? *Lyrics from Hotel California

Here Are Twitter's Most 'Followed' World Leaders
29/04/2015 4:05 PM IST | Updated 15/07/2016 8:25 AM IST
Aashmita Nayar Lifestyle editor, HuffPost India
It is no surprise that social media (Twitter in particular) has been embraced as one of the most effective communication tools for world leaders to reach out to the masses with 140-character messages and six-second soundbites.
Twiplomacy's most recent 2015 study has shown that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi finishes up as the 3rd most followed political leader on Twitter in the world after Barack Obama, and Pope Francis respectively. The PM's inaugural message from his Twitter account post his election in May last year said: "I am a firm believer in the power of technology and social media to communicate with people across the world."
Interestingly, the study lists two Indians in their most popular leader's list: Sushma Swaraj is the world's most followed foreign minister on Twitter with 2,438,228 followers. The study also has interesting details — over 4,100 embassies and ambassadors are now on Twitter and 15 world leaders have seen their tweets retweeted over 20,000 times.
Here are the most followed world leaders.

Breakfast: Well oatmeal is a classic for a reason. Oatmeal I love thee. I am really digging Irish steel cut oatmeal with some blueberries, chia seeds, a few almonds, raisins, ground flax seed, half a sliced banana and a drizzle of little honey and add some almond milk. In terms of Irish Steel Cut oatmeal, you can prepare some beforehand in a big pot and eat it through the week. You can also grab some quick prep. oats but I actually like em' chewy. Here is a little rule of thumb when deciding whether something is 'whole grain': can you see the whole grain? Put your own twist on healthy oatmeal, it is a heavenly way to start the day.
Egg in a cup: To round off breakfast, or for a post morning workout meal, I love an egg (or two) in a cup. Very quick, you can throw an egg with a sprinkling of vegetables (spinach, tomato etc) into the microwave. You can sprinkle a LITTLE cheese on top. Season with a bit of salt and pep, and your choice of hot sauce.
Lunch: Veggie "protein style" burgers with green tea and a side salad. Know for those of you cutting down on sodium, I would suggest one veggie patty. My favorite veggie patty are the Vege Masala Burgers from Trader Joe's. Sprinkle a LITTLE cheese on top (if you are trying to lose weight, emphasis and BOLD, on the LITTLE). I quick side salad to get in more veggies is also important to round off this meal. I love the prepped salad mixes e.g a baby spring mix, and then throw in some chopped celery, cucumber, green pepper, tomatoes...well as much as I can be bothered chopping actually. I
Mid-afternoon Snack: The "Dr. Rob" Drink. You don't need a fancy blender to make a great nutritious drink. My twist on the Dr. Oz drink is a couple of apples, an orange, lemon, cucumber, a handful of spinach, a chunk of pinapple (fresh or frozen) and a little bit of fresh ginger and mint. Throw it in a blender and you have about 4 servings of delicious nutritious pulpy juice. It makes your whole body zing with goodness.
Dinner: A "Greekish" Salad. I love a big salad for dinner. Why Greekish? Well I am loving a bit of feta with my salads. Trader Joe's does a great lite Feta which is light on the calories. I also love the light balsamic dressing from Trader Joe's too. I am also loving adding some chick peas or black beans into my salads to provide a little more protein and it also makes the salad more filling and keeps me satiated for longer. With a Greekish salad, you can't go wrong: Greek salad as a base, then throw in extra veggies, beans etc to make it your own.
Evening cocktail: The "Dirtiest" Martini. I am crazy about olives, and so I really take the dirty martini to the edge of sanity. Hey, you might as well get another serving of veggies in with your evening cocktail right?
