Internet Freedom
January 22, 2010
Commentary by Stephen Downes
Hillary Clinton has received wide acclaim for articulating and defending internet freedom. The full text of her speech is available here. "The freedom to connect is like the freedom of assembly in cyber space. It allows individuals to get online, come together, and hopefully cooperate in the name of progress. Once you're on the internet, you don't need to be a tycoon or a rock star to have a huge impact on society." I want to state clearly that we cannot simply leave these freedoms to the whims of the marketplace or the caprice of corporations. Our investment in this technology - for certainly, it have been a society-wide investment - should not come to be owned and managed by a select few. It is easy to focus on governments as the locus of oppression, but it is essential to understand that a declaration of internet freedoms applies not only to governments but to all agencies and stakeholders. Schools, corporations, societies, governments, religions - all need to respect the right of the members of humanity, as a whole, to interact with each other, without fear, without barriers, without oppression. In the meantime: Kudos to Hillary Clinton.
Re: Internet Freedom
I especially appreciate your reminder that the value of the internet arise from the participation of all of us, both individually as users and contributors of content, and collectively through the publicly funded research which made it all possible [Comment] [Permalink] [Previous][Next]
Re: Internet Freedom
I agree with your assertion that all people, not just governments, need to accept and promote the reality of internet 'connectivity' as a human right. As an educator I feel that connectivity of and to information, resources, and the multiplicity of opinion is not only essential for teachers and students but good for the development of freedom and national/global citizens.
I recently started using twitter in my classroom. I found a way to use 'lists' and was following "@Time/haiti" using Tweet Deck on a Smart-board. During class we were having a discussion on Haiti and people who were actually on the ground in Haiti (red cross, CARE, Time reporters, MSF, etc) started to post comments, links, and current pictures. As we discussed food supply, someone from CARE or The Toronto Star would post their view on food distribution. One reporter tweeted another quake/aftershock had happened. Twenty minutes later it was reported on CNN. We felt, as a class, that we knew before the world knew. Is that not the power Ms. Clinton was talking about when she said? "The spread of information networks is forming a new nervous system for our planet. When something happens in Haiti or Hunan the rest of us learn about it in real time - from real people."
I think as educators we need to promote the importance of critical thinking, analysis, and discussion in order to help students sift through and develop true learning and understanding of just what they are connected to. Students need someone to help them understand what knowledge has just travelled to their computer, cell phones, or newspapers. This, I think is the true freedom that Ms. Clinton was talking about.

Children in War
STORY PREFACEWar poster by Louis Hirshman and William Tasker, dated 1942 - 1943, maintained by the Library of Congress. Image online, courtesy Wikimedia Commons. If those who fought in World War II are "The Greatest Generation," then people who experienced the sufferings of World War I are surely "The Courageous Generation." Largely silent about what they endured - especially on the home front - their stories are forever lost since most folks alive then are dead now. Although we have many accounts of men fighting on the Western Front, and we can read about the horrors of trench warfare and the pandemic of "Spanish Flu" (which killed untold millions), the truth of the sacrifices and misery of life on the home front in Britain has never really been told. During the early years of the 21st century, however, some of the oldest men and women in the country spoke about experiences they had as children but kept buried for more than eight decades. With admiration for all they endured, we - at a distance - learn of rural famines, Zeppelin raids, school bombings, censorship and a mother who considered killing her family to prevent continued suffering. While we cannot grasp the level of deprivation people experienced during both world wars, we can examine evidence from national archives. What we see paints a scene one hopes will never be experienced again. AUDIO - LOG-IN to LISTEN Original Release Date: August, 2003

Watch for Patch Features on These Dearborn Businesses
Here's a look at the local businesses Patch readers told us we should write about.
We asked, and you answered. Instead of us picking which Dearborn businesses to feature on the pages of Patch this holiday season, we asked readers to help us decide. They responded with 20 nominations—everything from coffee shops and restaurants to barbers and bookstores. One thing was clear from every nomination: Dearborn residents love their local businesses. One reader said they "Could spend the day, and my entire paycheck" at Rodegher's Used Books or Material Girls (check out features we've run on the bookstore and the fabric shop on Patch) Another reader had glowing things to say about PostNet Dearborn: "Lynne Killion and her crew are top notch...they're friendly, knowledgeable, and have a wide variety of promotional products that …

(unranked): | Commelinids |

Musa textilis Née |
Abacá (pron.: /ɑːbəˈkɑː/ ah-bə-KAH; from Spanish: abacá [aβaˈka]), binomial name Musa textilis, is a species of banana native to the Philippines, grown as a commercial crop in the Philippines, Ecuador, and Costa Rica. The plant is of great economic importance, being harvested for its fiber, once generally called Manila hemp, extracted from the trunk or pseudostem. On average, the plant grows about 12 feet (4 meters) tall. The fiber was originally used for making twines and ropes; now most abacá is pulped and used in a variety of specialized paper products including tea bags, filter paper and banknotes. It is classified as a hard fiber, along with coir, henequin and sisal.
Contents |
Description [edit]
The leaves grow from the trunk of the plant, the bases of the leaves form a sheath (covering) around the trunk; there are approximately 25 of these, with 5 cm in diameter and from 12 to 25 leaves with overlapping petioles, covering the stalk to form a shrub, "false trunk" or pseudostem about 30 to 40 cm in diameter.[1] They grow in succession, with the oldest growing from the bottom of the trunk and successively younger ones from the top. The sheaths contain the valuable fiber. The coarse fibers range from 5 to 11½ feet (1.5 to 3.5 metres) in length. They are composed primarily of cellulose, lignin, and pectin.
Systematics [edit]
The abacá plant belongs to the banana family, Musaceae; it resembles the closely related wild seeded bananas, Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. Its scientific name is Musa textilis. Within the genus Musa, it is placed in section Callimusa (now including the former section Australimusa), members of which have a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 20.[2]
Uses [edit]
Before synthetic textiles came into use, M. textilis was a major source of high quality fiber: soft, silky and fine.[3] Abacá was first cultivated on a large scale in Sumatra in 1925 under the Dutch, who had observed its cultivation in the Philippines for cordage since the nineteenth century, followed up by plantings in Central America in 1929 sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.[1] Commercial planting began in 1930 in British North Borneo; with the commencement of World War II, the supply from the Philippines was eliminated by the Japanese.[1] Today, abacá is produced commercially in only three countries: Philippines, Ecuador, and Costa Rica. Yields are highest in Costa Rica, but the industry is new and planted acreage limited. The Philippines produces 85% of the world's abacá, and the production employs 1.5 million persons. The annual yields have suffered from increased prevalence of crop pathogens.[4]
Most abacá fiber is pulped and processed into specialty paper used in tea bags, vacuum bags, currency, and more.[citation needed] It can be used to make handcrafts like bags, carpets, clothing and furniture. Abacá rope is very durable, flexible and resistant to salt water damage, allowing its use in hawsers, ship's lines and fishing nets.[1] A 1 inch (2.5 cm) rope can require 4 metric tons (8,800 lb) to break.[5] Abacá fiber was once used primarily for rope, but this application is now of minor significance. Lupis is the finest quality of abacá. Sinamay is woven chiefly from abacá.[6]
Cultivation [edit]
The plant is normally grown in well-drained loamy soil, using pieces of mature root planted at the start of the rainy season.[1] Growers harvest abacá fields every three to eight months after an initial growth period of 12–25 months and a total lifespan of about 10 years.[1] The slopes of volcanoes provide a preferred growing environment.[5] Harvest generally includes having several operations concerning the leaf sheaths:
- tuxying (separation of primary and secondary sheath)
- stripping (getting the fibers)
- drying (usually following tradition of sun-drying).
In Costa Rica, more modern harvest and drying techniques are being developed to accommodate the very high yields obtained there.
Pathogens [edit]
Abacá is vulnerable to a number of pathogens, notably abaca bunchy top virus and abaca bract mosaic virus.[4]

Ultimately, many of the photos and cellphone records of Trayvon Martin released online Thursday by George Zimmerman's defense attorneys – indicating that the slain teenager smoked marijuana, got into fights at school, and had an interest in, and perhaps access to, guns – may be ruled inadmissible in court. But they are already making the rounds in the court of public opinion, which can influence everything from fundraising efforts to the mind-set of potential jurors in Mr. Zimmerman's murder trial.

I think it's high time we injected a little glamour onto these very pages :-)
Chris and Laura were married in October in Edinburgh. They wanted a modern, black and white wedding… which turned out to be a very glamorous affair indeed.
They are just the most gorgeous of couples, and they added to many beautiful, personal touches to their day. And the Jimmy Choo's!!!!
Thanks so much to the amazing Zoe Campbell Photography for sharing her images today, here is what she had to say about the day;
"Chris and Laura were married at Norton House Hotel in Edinburgh on the 3rd of October. It was a predictably Scottish wet and windy day but it certainly dampen the wedding spirit. I knew Laura would look stunning on her wedding day and she didn't disappoint, she put a lot of thought and effort into the wedding day preparations and it showed, everything came together beautifully for her. There was lovely little touches, my favourite being their dogs silhouettes being incorporated into the stationery, it wasn't till you looked hard that you noticed, almost like a secret for those in the know, understated and very sweet. They are such warm, loving people it was truly an honour to be a part of their wedding day.If possible I would like to also thank Kristin Mitchell of Struve Photography for assisting me on the day."
Names…. Laura and Chris
Wedding Date…. 03/10/2011
The Proposal…. at home on 10/10/10, he had just returned from a two week work trip and was giving me some gifts, after I had got them he said I have one more for you and produced a ring.
The Vision for the day…. Modern, simple, with a little bit of quirk to it (it started out with a vintage feel but we wanted to dress it up a bit)
The Planning process…. seemingly never-ending, we got a venue and planned around it, the colour scheme came from the carpets in the venue being quite unusual and our desire not to clash with them. Everything else came about organically once we had the venue and colours decided.
The Venue… Norton House Hotel, Ingliston, Edinburgh for both ceremony and reception
The Dress + Accessories….. Dress: Victoria Jane, Summer, Shoes: Jimmy Choo, Ailsa, Earrings: Glitzy secrets, Headpiece: from Melle Cloche in Glasgow (the name of the designer escapes me), Bridesmaid dresses: Impressions Bridal from Net Bride.
Finding the dress… Tedious, I bought a dress in Dec last year (not the one I wore on the day) then lost 2 stone and decided I wanted a prettier one, I was in a bridal shop looking for underwear and came across my one, it truly was love at first sight! I ordered it in March and it arrived 2 weeks before the wedding, after much panic!
Groom's attire… Suit: Marks and Spencer, Tie: Online from Amazon, all of the groomsmen wore the same tie, Shoes: Clarks, Cufflinks: Transformers
The Readings + Music…. Walking down the Aisle: Marry Me by Train, Signing the register: Piano version of make you feel my love by Adele & Moon River, Walking out of the ceremony: I gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas, We didn't have any readings.
Beautiful bridesmaids….. Ami (MOH), Leigh and Amanda
The Flowers… By Appleblossoms florist in Stewarton, Ayrshire
The Cake… Cupcakes from Waitrose and decorated by my lovely MOH and I and I baked the top tier.
Your Photographer…. The lovely Zoe Campbell
The Details + Decor…. Black and white theme, we hired black napkins, white chair covers and black sashes to tie everything together. The favours were personalised love heart packets, sugared almonds and for the evening guests there were handmade cake pops. All of our stationary from the invites to the tags for the favours were bespoke, Chris has a fabulous lady who designed stuff for his work, she came up with our emblem and incorporated it into everything on the day.
The Honeymoon…. Chicago for 6 days then to NYC for 5
Memorable moments… Getting my heel caught in the pavement, only being able to wear my shoes until after the ceremony and replacing them with spa slippers, the speeches, walking up the aisle to see Ami (who never cries) crying so hard her leg was shaking. The first dance.
Advice for other couples… Nobody cares about your wedding as much as you do. If you can't afford it, don't worry the simpler things are the more they look like they cost! Don't believe the hype, at the end of the day its just another day, a beautiful day, but another day all the same.
Credit where credit's due….

Congratulations, Zoe! The wedding was absolutely fantastic, and the photos here really do justice to how wonderful a day it was. I especially loved the bespoke stationery dog designs - apparently Chris and Laura have two dogs of their own, so this was their way of including them in the day (what a lovely thing to do!). -

I have three broken, decayed teeth. I know that I neglected them. I also think you may not be able to give advice on a specific case, but thought I'd give it a shot anyway. My dentist seems to think that they must be extracted and that the only option is dental implants. Two of those teeth have a lot of teeth structure still left. I don't understand why I can't just have a root canal and a crown on those teeth. Also, why do I HAVE to have implant? Aren't there other options?
Thanks for all your help. Bethany Q. – Indiana
I am a little leary when dentists don't give all your options. First, I'm going to recommend you get a second opinion. In many cases a tooth can still be saved with a root canal. The exception being when the decay goes all the way through the tooth to the underside. However, even if the teeth do have to be extracted, you don't necessarily have to replace them with implants. For instance sometimes a dental bridge is a better option, especially if your adjacent teeth need a crown anyway. You can read more about this on our dental implant versus bridge page.

Personhood Rights for Whales?
Research has proven whales and dolphins are self-aware, have personality and think about others in way similar to humans. Scientists will present evidence at international conference in Vancouver this weekend.
Kendra Wong February 16, 2012
Whales and dolphins are intelligent and cultural creatures and should be granted basic personhood rights, scientists will argue this weekend in Vancouver.Lori Marino, a professor at Emory University in Atlanta, and Thomas White of Loyola Marymount University in California plan to present the Declaration of Rights for Cetaceans at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference in Vancouver this weekend.
The declaration aims to open a discussion about the ethical and policy implications of giving cetaceans basic personhood rights.
According to the scientists, research has proven that whales have cultural and cognitive abilities similar to humans.
Whales are self-aware they can recognize themselves in mirrors they understand symbolic language and they think about others in a way comparable to humans.
Theyre very similar to us: (they) have a sense of individual identity, personality, the ability to control behaviour and abstract thinking, White said. Theyre even more social beings than humans are.
They also have complex cultural lives involving learning, the transmission of cultural traits from one generation to the next and they use tools.
Weve shown that all these qualities that make humans persons are shared with other animals, said Marino. (They) shouldnt be treated like property or objects shouldnt be confined, captured, slaughtered or exploited and all the things we still do to dolphins and whales, she said.
Annelise Sorg, president of the Coalition for No Whales in Captivity, said the symposium will open up a door that hasnt been opened to any other species before.
I believe this is a fantastic idea! These are the innovative ways we need to approach the current difficulties we find on Earth. We need to 'think' differently, laterally. Soon enough the days of maltreatment of whales and dolphins will be gone forever.

The Miami Heat traded center Dexter Pittman to the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday (Feb. 21). The Heat trade brings back the rights to center Ricky Sanchez in a minor deal between the two teams. According to a report, Sanchez is still playing in Argentina, so this could be viewed as a move for the future in Miami.
In addition to giving up the young center (Pittman), Miami also sends their 2013 second-round pick to Memphis to complete the deal. There had been some hope that Pittman could find his footing on the Miami bench but he has played most of the season in the D-League. During four games with Miami this season, Pittman averaged just 1.5 points per game.
It is very likely that Sanchez will never play in the NBA, so this trade can be viewed as a way for Miami to get out of some salary. It isn't front page NBA news by any stretch, but it is certainly possible that Pittman could become an asset for the Memphis Grizzlies somewhere down the line.
This Miami Heat trade might not have been what fans expected from the team, especially because Dexter Pittman could turn into a decent role player at some point. For Memphis, this trade only comes with benefits. Now the salary of Pittman shifts to Memphis though, even if it is less than $1 million this season and slightly more than that next year.

Posted by Shirley Brady on April 17, 2012 01:26 PM
Marmite is considered a yeasty feast by some, and ick-inducing goo by others, but love it ior hate it: the iconic British brand has earned a reputation worldwide since its conception in 1902.
Marking its 110th anniversary this year, Marmite is tipping its cap to another iconic British brand celebrating a major milestone this year: Queen Elizabeth, who celebrates 60 years on the throne at her Diamond Jubilee on June 5th.
In honor of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, Marmite this week releases a limited-edition Ma'amite in observation of the royal occasion. Featuring the Union flag anchored by Marmite's familiar brand equities, the commemorative Ma'amite launched exclusively in Sainsbury's on April 16th and is now rolling out in stores across the U.K.
Ma'amite is Marmite's fourth limited-edition offering, following its popular Guinness, Champagne, Marston's Pedigree, and Marmite's Original and XO varieties. It's designed by Hornall Anderson UK, Marmite's creative partner and the developer of branding and packaging for its entire product range, including limited editions.
Judging by the jaunty official Diamond Jubilee website, we think Her Majesty would approve.

Foreign relations of the Ottoman Empire
The foreign relations of the Ottoman Empire were characterized by competition with the Persian Empire to the east and Europe to the west. The foreign relations of the Ottomans collapsed after the Young Turks took over the empire in 1908 and this led to the loss of many important territories. Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Bulgarian Declaration of Independence soon followed, and eventually all the Arab lands became independent.
Contents |
Structure [edit]
The Ottoman Empire's diplomatic structure was unconventional and departed in many ways from its European counterparts.
Ambassadors [edit]
Ambassadors from the Ottoman Empire were usually appointed on a temporary and limited basis, as opposed to the resident ambassadors sent by other European nations.[1][2] The Ottomans sent 145 temporary envoys to Venice between 1384 and 1600.[3] The first resident Ottoman ambassador was not seen until Yusuf Agah Efendi was sent to London in 1798.[1][4]
Ambassadors to the Ottoman Empire began arriving shortly after the fall of Constantinople. The first was Bartelemi Marcello from Venice in 1454. The French ambassador Jean de la Forèt later arrived in 1535.[5] In 1583, the ambassadors from Venice and France would attempt unsuccessfully to block William Harborne of England from taking up residence in Istanbul. This move was repeated by Venice, France and England in trying to block Dutch ambassador Cornelius Haga in 1612.[6]
Capitulations [edit]
Capitulations were a unique practice of Muslim diplomacy that was adopted by Ottoman rulers. In legal and technical terms, they were unilateral agreements made by the Sultan to a nation's merchants. These agreements were temporary, and subject to renewal by subsequent Sultans.[7][8] The origins of the capitulations comes from Harun al Rashid and his dealings with the Frankish kingdoms, but they were also used by both his successors and by the Byzantine Empire.[8]
Europe [edit]
The Ottoman Empire was a crucial part of the European states system and actively played a role in their affairs, due in part to their coterminous periods of development.[9][10]
Towards the end of the 15th century, the Ottomans began to play a larger role in the Italian Peninsula. In 1494, both the Papacy and the Kingdom of Naples petitioned the Sultan directly for his assistance against Charles VIII of France in the First Italian War.[11]
Ottoman policy towards Europe during the 16th century was one of disruption against the Habsburg dynasties.[9] The Ottomans collaborated with Francis I of France and his Protestant allies in the 1530s while fighting the Habsburgs.[9] Although the French had sought an alliance with the Ottomans as early as 1531, one was not concluded until 1536. The sultan then gave the French freedom of trade throughout the empire, and plans were drawn up for an invasion of Italy from both the north and the south in 1537.[12]
Francis I later admitted to a Venetian ambassador that the Ottoman Empire was the only thing that prevented Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor from creating a Europe-wide empire under Habsburg dominion.[13][14]
Later, the Dutch would ally with the Ottomans. Prince William of Orange coordinated his strategic moves with those of the Ottomans during the Turkish negotiations with Philip II of Spain in the 1570s.[9] After the Habsburgs inherited the Portuguese crown in 1580, Dutch forces attacked their Portuguese trading rivals while the Turks, supportive of the Dutch bid for independence, attacked the Habsburgs in Eastern Europe.[15]

Austrian Ingolf Wunder achieved worldwide recognition at the 2010 International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, receiving both 'Best Concerto' and 'Best Polonaise-Fantasy' prizes as well as taking second prize overall. He has subsequently toured Japan with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra under Antonini Wit, and given recitals at the Klavierfestival Ruhr and St Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre, as well as the Vienna Konzerthaus and Musikverein.
The 2012/13 season sees Wunder perform with orchestras including the hr-Sinfonieorchester, NHK Symphony Orchestra, Wiener Symphoniker (under Kazushi Ono) and the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin (Kazuki Yamada), as well as a return to the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra (Antoni Wit). In recital, he performs at Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, Conservatoire de Musique Geneva, Vienna Konzerthaus, Musikverein, Berlin's Philharmonie, Munich's Prinzregententheater, Stuttgart's Liederhalle and Warsaw's Philharmonic Concert Hall amongst others.
Ingolf Wunder records exclusively for Deutsche Grammophon. His first recording, a Chopin recital recording, was released in June 2011. In summer 2012 he recorded his second solo album '300', released in January 2013.
"Wunder's tone is full and noble, and he allows the music to unfold with natural ease, forgoing temptations for any kind of grandstanding. At the same time his music-making has a sinewy grip that can generate cumulative power in a way that makes for compelling listening." (5* - The Irish Times, August 2011)
"Ingolf Wunder is the undisputed wunderkind of the Austrian piano scene...This debut for Deutsche Grammophon allows us all to judge his competition pieces, from the masterly handling of the mandatory "Polonaise-Fantaisie in A flat major" to the dazzling resolution of extrovert and introvert sensibilities displayed in the "Piano Sonata No 3 in B minor": the Scherzo alone moves from rippling, ebullient industry to soul-searching intimacy, and back again, within three minutes, Wunder displaying a poise and tonal command way beyond his tender years." (5* - The Independent, July 2011)
"Wunder produced the most exquisitely poised Chopin sound, characterised by bel canto elegance, and it is hard to imagine a finer account of the Polonaise-Fantasie than his in Warsaw." (The Telegraph, October 2010)
"From the start the Austrian was in control, consistent, confident and professional. Most important of all, he had that subtle extra magic, and, even before the last chord had finished sounding, the audience erupted." (Gramophone, October 2010)

Five Star Plumbing Owner Rick Hottois partnered with seven-year colleague, Mike Sessa, to launch a new Boca Grande business with longtime ties to many islanders.
The 56-year-old Hottois said the new business came together quickly after he and Sessa first discussed it in October 2011. His confidence in Sessa, "the best plumber there is," was one key to the new business taking off.
"It was a little iffy," Hottois said. "I said it was the last time I'm changing jobs. I've been doing plumbing 30 years. This guy here, I wouldn't have done it with anybody else. He's the best plumber I've ever known. He understands more than field operations. He's got business sense."

Five Star Plumbing owner Rick Hottois, right, and Mike Sessa.
The phone rang steadily during the interview. In between doing business, here's Hottois on the future of Five Star Plumbing on Gasparilla Island.
QUESTION: Why did it make sense to set up Five Star Plumbing's HQ on Gasparilla Island?
ANSWER: We've been 15 years taking care of all these customers with other companies. These absentee owners know and trust us.
Fact Box
Rick Hottois at a glance:
Age: Jan. 15, 1956
Occupation: Owner of Five Star Plumbing of Boca Grande
Business open: July 13
Employees: Five
Hours: 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays with 24-hour emergency service
Hometown: Brook Park outside Cleveland
Residence: Port Charlotte
Family: married 39 years with one daughter
Discovered Boca Grande: I used to camp out and go fishing on Cole Island. When I did work for Brad Baldwin when he was just starting in 1985-86, I did the plumbing for the houses on Golden Beach for Baldwin and I did the Village Homes at the Boca Grande Club and Marina Village.
Q: How is business? You opened during the slow part of the island season.
A: I've got a full board and can't keep up so we hired another guy. The response has been overwhelming. It's a good problem to have. We've more than doubled our business plan.
Q: Where does the name Five Star Plumbing come from?
A: It comes from every name we looked at. We liked this, we liked that. We were in my office and Mike suggested "Prestige" and "Integrity" and "Five Star." And I went. "I like that." The Five Stars indicate the premier work we do.
Q: What sets your business apart from your competition?
A: We're on the customer's side. We'll do the best job at the best price we can give them. We're state-certified and full service with construction remodeling service, anything to do with plumbing.
Q: It is a big deal when you decide to launch a new business, especially while the economy is in recovery from the Great Recession. How long did you and Mike talk about it?
A: The talk wasn't that long. About a month. Rick had to get his state certification.
Q: Did the state or county assist in any way to open the business or was red tape a hindrance?
A: No, we didn't get any help but it wasn't a problem. We'll get through it.
Q: When did you move to Florida from your hometown just outside Cleveland?
A: 1971. My mother forced me to move here. (Laughs). My father passed away and Port Charlotte was growing. I don't think my dad ever would have. My dad died when I was 15 years old.
Q: Is there anything unique about Boca Grande plumbing needs given it's a barrier island?
A: No, they just want someone they can trust. And that's us.

Cooking With Chef Brooks For Soup Sunday
By: Channing Barker
Updated: February 22, 2013
Looking for a family friendly event this weekend? Check out Soup Sunday benefitting the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families.
It starts at 4 p.m. at the Northwest Arkansas Convention Center.
Check out details here.
The KNWA Today and Fox Morning Edge crew were crazy for some soup this morning!
Thanks to Chef Brooks for the recipe below!
Potato and Bacon Soup
1lb Bacon-diced
1 small Yellow Onion-diced
1 small Carrot-peeled and diced
4 stalks Celery-diced
2 Potatoes-diced
Salt and Pepper
1 tbsp.-Crushed Red Pepper Flake
1 tbsp. Fresh Chopped thyme, rosemary and parsley
lb. butter
lb. flour
2 qt. Chicken Stock
1 qt. Heavy Whipping Cream
In a large sauce pot, cook the bacon until almost crispy. There should be liquid in the bottom of the pan. Add the carrots, celery and the onion. Saut for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the potatoes, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper and the fresh herbs. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes more and add the butter. When it melts, add the flour and mix well. All of the ingredients should clump together.
Add the chicken stock and stir. Allow it to come to a boil.
While wait on the stock to boil, heat the cream. Do not let it boil over. Add the warm cream to the soup and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes. Serve with a great grill cheese sandwich.

OPERA review serves up a feast for physics geeks
Superluminal neutrinos and silly science writers
Cloud storage: Lower cost and increase uptime
Let's get the "big news" out of the way first: there's a lot of excitement due to one paper published on Arxiv.org, which asks whether the CERN OPERA experiment – the one that seemed to detect superluminal neutrinos – took into account the "satellite reference frame" in its calculations.
So the short version of the paper is this: did the calculations conducted on the OPERA data treat the clocks on the GPS satellites as being stationary with respect to the detector (more precisely for The Register's crowd-sourced scientific sub-editors, I mean "in the same reference frame as the detector")? If so, van Elburg argues, it would be a source of error, because the satellites aren't stationary; and the error he predicts a worst-case correction of 64 nanoseconds.
The media excitement is comprehensible for several reasons: the paper, by Roland van Elburg of the University of Groningen, yields a calculation quite close to the 60 nanoseconds that the neutrinos seemed to travel too fast; it would therefore restore relativity (and give journalists an opportunity for some "you was wrong!" schadenfreude).
It also suits journalists' sense of narrative: Einstein's theory used to prove that Einstein was right.
The most sensible discussion of this hypothesis I've seen is on the Bad Astronomy blog, here.
What the sudden leap for "Einstein still right" headlines fails to convey is the ongoing scrutiny being applied to the OPERA experiment. It hasn't been called into question by one paper; what's happening is an intense scrutiny that's mostly passing unnoticed.
By my count, there have been 47 papers published at Arxiv.org discussing the OPERA results one way or another. So why just focus on one? Instead, let's scan a few of the ideas, discussions and quirks of this "gold standard peer review" (as one reader described it recently).
Causality safe, for now
One of the first things that got everybody excited when the OPERA results first hit the wires was that the possibly-superluminal neutrinos traveled "backwards in time". By my admittedly-poor understanding of relativity, this was mostly a journalistic construct, since in a human time-frame, the neutrinos still arrived after they left.
Nonetheless, time travel grabs the attention like few other topics, apart perhaps from climate conspiracies and crop circles. So please don't direct any hate mail to me or to the physicists for telling you it ain't so, at least not yet.
According to a German-Hungarian group of physicists, even if the neutrinos could travel faster than light, they can't send information backwards in time. Their paper reminds us all that the neutrino beam would need, somehow, to be modulated. For us to be satisfied that a bit of information has been transferred, the trailing edge of the modulated pulse, not the leading edge, has to be observed fast enough to satisfy the "faster than light" requirement.
It may be, they admit, that a setup could be devised to defeat this, but at the moment, causality is safe from messages-from-the-future.
Next page: Interpreting the OPERA signal
The thing about this I'm enjoying most
is watching the process of scientific review being done out in the open
I've proven it by experimentation
This describes an experiment performed to identify how an object spinning at speeds approaching that of light can affect the measurement of other objects that are introduced into the system, and the sufficient comprehension thereof by the experimentor.
Firstly, we must identify inputs and assumptions.
Light Speed - c.
The only way I could effectively measure this is to find some light and then see how fast it travels.
The only light to hand was that inside a pocket torch.
I threw this across the room and measured it with a stop watch.
Time taken for the light to cross the room = 1.4s.
Distance thrown = 4 m.
My value for c = 2.85 m/s
The torch was broken in the experiment.
Given this value, I set out to examine a spinning object, and if I can accelerate to approaching light speed.
Through observation I identified that a spinning human will have rotational speed at the fingers approaching 2.8m/s, or c.
The experiment the proceeded to measuring something in relation to the spinning object.
This took the form of an extended tape measure and a balloon full of water passing through the air nearby (to give sufficient mass not to be affected by relativistic gravity effects).
The 2 things to be identified :-
* What strange effects are there in a spinning system approaching the speed of light.
* How confused could the experimentor become and still gather valid data.
-- Results --
The results were as expected, strange effects were observed, and the experimentor failed to fully understand the results as they were on going, requiring subsequent analysis and processing.
Firstly, the human experimentor (me) span up to the required speed holding the tape measure (extended). This gave the tip of the tape measure a measured rotational speed in _excess_ of light speed!
The balloon was then released and began its approach to the spinning object.
Unfortunately measuring the approach of the balloon was curtailed when it, inexplicably, exploded.
The experimentor is still perplexed by this. After cleaning up the water, it was identified that not all of the balloon was present. It appears that some has become converted directly to pure energy.
This will form the basis of a subsequent paper entitled "Cold Fusion from water balloons".
Given these results, I come the conclusion that strange things happen when spinning at light speed, and that I as a the performer of the experiment am unable to fully explain the results.
Dr Bo Gus (Ins. ANE)
"Richard, since this paper has been published you have been beside yourself with alarm and distress that relativity is being questioned, or not as useful as we thought:"
That's not the impression I've been getting. Perhaps the difference is that I know just how much is riding on this. Special Relativity is a purely logical conclusion forced on you if you accept the laws of electromagnetism discovered by Maxwell in the 1860s. Einstein's contribution was "merely" to point this out. (It is a measure of how painful the mixing of space and time is for most people that his contribution is reckoned by most people to be a separate discovery, and a *physics* discovery, and one worthy of a part-share of a Nobel prize.)
Prior to fixing the laws of electromagnetism, the only fundamental laws known were those of mechanics. Since settling on Maxwell's laws, the only new field to be opened up which *doesn't* depend on EM, is thermodynamics. (This goes much wider than physics. Modern chemistry is now theoretically grounded in quantum theory, as it relates to the behaviour of electrons and atoms. Large parts of biology are now explained with chemistry, to the extent that a chemistry A-level is more important than a biology one if you want to take the latter subject at university level.)
If Maxwell is wrong, the experimental measurements don't go away. You are left with a metric fuckton of results that we depend on in everyday life for which you need to explain why they are still true even though Maxwell is wrong.
You need a bloody sight more than 5 sigma on *one* experiment to persuade the community that they've been talking bollocks for the last 150 years and should start again.

Berlin-based designers Ying Zhang and Ida Thonsgaard created a system called Playtime, which is a collection of chairs and tables made out of thin layers of tessellated wooden triangles, backed by a textile laminate. When these pieces are unfolded, they're flat like rugs. But when you snap together the embedded system of magnets and clips, each piece transforms into a 3D side table or stool. The surfaces are covered in patterns inspired by Japanese origami and Nordic textiles.

text: Unfortunately, one of our favorite Hollywood couples is divorcing. People magazine reported that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are divorcing after five years of marriage. According to the actress' attorney Jonathan Wolfe, "This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family. Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest." Soon after Holmes' announcement, Cruise released his own statement on the split. "Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children," his rep told People. "Please allow them their privacy to work this out." Holmes filed in New York on Thursday, and according to TMZ, she is seeking sole custody and "primary residency custody" of Suri, 6, as well as a "suitable amount" of child support. This is unfortunate news as the Cruise family was one of Today's Modern Families favorite Hollywood blended families. It seems Hollywood as of late has had an unfair share of divorces. Being in an everyday (re)marriage is tough and takes work, I can only image that adding all of the pressures of Hollywood makes it even harder. We wish the Cruise family well.

2010.0043DUC Renovation (Topper Cafe)Dan Chaney, Project Manager |
In order to maintain the level of food services venues available to students, faculty, and staff, the temporary structure housing the Topper Cafe was built on South Lawn. From August 2012 to June 2013, this facility will hold the "Fresh Food Company". This venue was formerly available in the Downing University Center but was relocated due to the renovation of DUC. During the summer of 2013, Fresh Food Company will transition back to DUC and the retail venues included in The Red Zone will move to the Topper Cafe location so that those areas of DUC can be renovated. Once completed, all food venues except for Subway will be moved back to DUC and the temporary structure will be removed and the South Lawn will be reclaimed as green space. |
