This undated file photo provided by the Vermont Department of Corrections shows Timothy J. Szad.By Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer
Convicted high-risk sex offender Timothy Szad has registered with the Vermont sex offender registry, and he is living in the Chittenden County town of Colchester.
Szad, 53, whose family lives in Springfield, had been slated to live with his parents in Springfield once he was released from prison 10 days ago.
Szad went to California at his release, but he returned to Vermont Sunday night, and following state sex offender protocol, registered within 24 hours.
One state officials, Jeff Wallin of the Vermont Offender Registry, refused to say where Szad was living, saying that Szad had registered as "homeless" and living in Chittenden County.
Szad was sentenced in 2001 of sexually assaulting a disabled 13-year-old boy in Rockingham. He received a 7 to 20-year sentence, was released after serving 13 years due to credit for good behavior.MORE IN This Just InRutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott shares local weather information and easily digestible...

Melanoma DiagnosisThe diagnosis of melanoma is suspected when a skin lesion exhibits some or all of the criteria described in the symptoms and signs section above. Melanomas may develop on any area of the skin, including the palms, soles, scalp, and under fingernails. Recently, handheld devices have been developed, utilizing magnification and polarized light, which can enhance the detection of dangerous pigmented lesions (epiluminescence microscopy). Suspicious lesions are surgically removed by the physician (a biopsy) in their entirety, if possible, and submitted to a pathologist who is an expert in the microscopic interpretation of skin disease. The diagnosis is made when the pathologist identifies certain microscopic features. Occasionally, certain lesions may not exhibit sufficient criteria to qualify as melanomas but may be "borderline" lesions. Then the pathologist may suggest that such worrisome lesions be re-excised with a margin of normal tissue surrounding the excision site. If the diagnosis of melanoma is made, the pathologist will also describe its thickness in millimeters, how deep it has penetrated into the skin, if there is any invasion of nerves or blood vessels, and estimate its mitotic activity. These parameters can help the clinical doctor to decide on the next course of action. Must Read Articles Related to Melanoma

Materials in sports equipment
Not available
File Formats
You can read this ebook online in eb20 format without having to download anything.
Improvements in materials technology have made a significant impact on sporting performance in recent years. Advanced materials and novel processing methods have enabled the development of new types of equipment with enhanced properties, as well as improving the overall design of sporting goods. The interdependence between material technology and design, and its impact on many of the most popular sports, is reviewed in this book. Materials in sports equipment presents the latest research, from a distinguished panel of international contributors, into the chemical structure and composition, microstructure and material processing of the various materials used in a wide range of sports. The relationship between performance and design is examined in detail for each sport covered. Part 1 concentrates on the general use of materials in sports. Here, the reader is given a broad insight into the overall influence of materials in sports, and the significance of material processing and design. Part 2 focuses on showing how individual sports have benefited from recent improvements in material technology. It also analyses the way in which improvements in our understanding of biomechanics and the engineering aspects of sports equipment performance have influenced materials and design. Sports whose equipment is considered in detail include: golf, tennis, cycling, mountaineering, skiing, cricket and paralympic sports. The overall aim of the book is to make the reader aware of the interaction between the type of material, its selection, processing and surface treatment, and show how this process underpins the performance of the final sporting product. It will be essential reading for all materials scientists and researchers working in this rapidly developing field.

The next deity (#6) from the "god graveyard" is Loki. Loki interests me unlike a very large part of the Norse Pantheon, even more so than Odin and Thor. Maybe it is his association with fire (fire sign here [grin]) or the devotion of Sigyn. More likely it is the fact that he doesn't fit in anywhere (as I often feel that way). Yet it could e my tendency to cheer on the underdog or maybe his similarities to Hermes. Any way he incites a cautious curiosity in me.
Next up in my tributes to the Gods placed in the atheist graveyard, I honor Janus, Divine Doorkeeper. Yet I've already written about him once as Janus, God of Libraries, so below I leave you with an interesting excerpt of Ovid's Fasti (Book 1):
The next divinity from the "God Graveyard" list is the very well documented Lithuanian Perkunas. He is very similar to Zeus and Jupiter. One website described him as a cross between Odin and Thor.
The next divinities from the "God Graveyard" list are the Slavic divinities Belbog and Chernobog. They interest me because I have Slovenian (Bohjon) ancestry. I've been a bit intimidated in researching these divinities because I want to get it right. Unlike many other pantheons there are no firsthand accounts for this pantheon. There is no irrefutable evidence that the Slavs had any system of writing so all their beliefs and traditions were passed down orally. This creates or enables many individual characteristics within that belief system (a fancy way of saying that there are as many differences as similarities in the details of their belief system). While there are many archeological remains, there is no contextual understanding to be had. The only time anything was written down was by Christian missionaries who were not always interested in accuracy in depicted Pagan beliefs. Fragments of the old beliefs are found in folk customs, songs and tales. This is not to say that this pantheon is not still honored, for it is, but I imagine Slavic rely heavily upon similarities in other belief systems and on unsubstantiated personal knosis (aka UPG).
The existences of both of these deities, Belbog especially, are heavily contested. So let me tell you what I have found out about them and then offer an interesting possible conclusion that I stumbled across. Belbog and Chernobog are twins and, one could say, the mirror images of the other. One website stated that they were honored by the priestly class.
So while the Pagan blogosphere is reacting to the God Graveyard fiasco, I figured it would be more interesting to learn about some of the deities that were on the list. I found a short list on Sannion's blog. If anyone finds a longer list or a complete list, I'd love to have it.
So the first god I'm starting with is Shezmu (Shesmu, Shesemu, Shezmou, Shesmou, Sezmu, Sesmu, Schesmu, Schezemu), an ancient Egyptian god of the underworld.
I'm told that I have a thing for the "bad boys" of the Greek pantheon and maybe that is true. Yet it is because I see past their "popular" labeling to someone worthy of my attention and respect. So let me tell you about the bad boy that seems to surpass even Ares. He is the ultimate freak out for some people. Haides, God of the Underworld.
Asklepios (Aesculapius) is traditionally described as the mortal son of Apollo by Koronis or Arsinoe who was then deified after death. Traditionally it is said that as a babe Asklepios was cut out of his dead mother's body and raised by the centaur, Kheiron, who taught him the arts of healing. He later became so proficient that Zeus ended his life to maintain status quo. Asklepios then was raised up as a god with many temples where people would seek cures.
I started a new job this week. It is a job that I've always wanted. I work in a library. Responses from my friends have been highly amusing. Anything from "that is the perfect job for you!" to "that's like putting an alcoholic in charge of a bar".
I started wondering what god has libraries in his purview. My first thought was Hermes but I connect him more with the internet and buyer/reader beware. My second thought was Thoth or Seshat but neither of those felt right. So I did some googling and stumbled across a blog suggesting Janus as a modern symbol for libraries. Now that is an interesting thought.
A tale for your reading pleasure...this came to me today as I was researching another topic.
A woman frantically spins a crystal in the light from the window making rainbows swirl around the room. "Iris, storm-footed and golden winged, you who nursed my child when I could not, hear me. My boy has been taken from his cradle by Apollon, furious to behold. Tell his father! Bring my baby back!"
So I've only recently returned home from fest and visiting my sister. This is the first good opportunity I've had to sit down and write. Forgive my lateness.
One of the big rituals at the Pagan festival I attend is the Drawing Down. It is where multiple priests and priestesses allow a divinity to take temporary possession of their bodies so that they can speak with devotees. Who you speak with is typically luck of the draw. Rarely are masculine divinities drawn down in my experience, as female divinities are just more popular it seems. Even more rare, in my experience, is having a walker seek out a particular person at a divinity's behest. I experienced both this time.
Since opening this space a few weeks ago, I have been thinking more consciously about our journey to The Edge. I am grateful to have the space here to share how the light shines upon it for us all.
See, for much of my life I did not know what an "edge" was, or what expansive, fertile possibilities lay just beyond it. I did not know what type of path I would cut or even what tools I would need to access the raw, vulnerable parts of myself; eventually laying the groundwork upon the true self which would be born anew. I felt alone. I felt incapable of being able to come from a place of authentic expression. I had no idea what gifts I could offer this world.
Life was lived "safely" based on clean edges, organized processes, and a sense that I was doing the "right thing" with the barometer being the acknowledgement of those around me. I followed all of the "rules" and defined happiness by living up to others' expectations. All the while there was a churning inside, an acidic buildup of knowing I was not dancing to my own rhythm. I was trying my damndest to be the "perfect" daughter, wife, mother, career woman, community serviceperson. Forget rhythm when living a life of constant white noise.
Oh, I was still in there, present with small pieces of it, definitely not all of it, a walking-dead from what I can now ascertain. I was superficially happy, not deeply satisfied. I was seeking a "something" to fill my hollow and was incredibly imbalanced internally. The external world was starting to show the stress of not being able to keep the charade going much longer.
The first of many lurches showing me a brighter reality hit me the day I found out my daughter had chosen me to carry her into this world. I did start to wake up that day, but it would be a long time before I had the courage to act. The next few years were spent still trying to play in the white noise, yet the core had started to break down. I was ready to exit stage left. I was ready to be done with all of the bullshit and move on.
Yet I had a child to raise. Her birth was my rebirth. She opened me up in profound ways and served as my grounding wire that first number of years as I learned how to stand again. I still felt alone, untrustworthy, unqualified, yet there was a spark which had been lit from within and She reminded me of that every single day.
The question remained though: how was I supposed to raise a child if I didn't even know how to raise myself from the dead? The edge was slippery at times, but I learned to listen to the internal voice, to trust the compass. That journey began more than 12 years ago and every step has been a true blessing. Life continues to improve, become more joyful, more fulfilling, more honestly my own to claim in this lifetime.
See, The Edge is the familiar unknown. It is an invitation to remember who we are. It is about discovering our internal truths and then manifesting them into brilliant existence! My own familiar unknowns have shown me how deeply nourishing and joyful life can be! My edge has shown me I am here to love, nourish and support others from an incredibly deep space. BUT! If I am not loving, nourishing, and supporting myself, then what do I have left to give? The equation is simple, as is the life I am living. And I envision it to become easier and much simpler as time goes on.
The truth has been deeply revealing. It has led to unexpected and miraculous gifts along the way in the form of connecting and learning from others who open their hearts to their edge of familiar unknowns. The following poem was written and performed with one of those beautiful souls, my dear friend John DeLozier. You may also watch a video of the performance here. My cup truly runneth over.
The EdgeJohn DeLozier & Jennifer MillsSummer Rhythm Renewal, August 2012 The Within becomes limitless when I am with you.A roiling, boiling potential. Through the liquidous center, the tremors of vibration unsettle the sediment existence has produced.An uncontrollable force which can no longer be held within. Truly eyes know nothing yet reveal everything. The pulsing, rhythmic dance begins.The roiling emotions charged: a supernova state, heartfelt and open!The sacred seal is broken between the illusion of opposing forces. Suddenly, desolate and lightless as a black hole; nothingness; my mind cannot conceive.I have gone to my Edge;my toes on the precipice. Are you complete?Resistant: I hesitate, afraid of the unknown.My truth unspoken, constricted by the perpetual state of Doubt. Break yourself free from that constraint my friend!We are bigger than that!Join me in this leap of faith!Take my hand. So, the darkness was a shadow, dissipated by our light!Connected now are we.This bright-light confusion of the senses fades.The breath of light returns in the Light of Love.
Heather and Áine, thank you. Isn't this a precious time to connect in with those deeper truths? And my heart goes out to all of
What a beautiful way to describe this feeling - I can definitely relate.
3 This is beautiful, and very much reminds me of my relationship with Loki, thought I think it's true of any good relationship wit

Checkup Routine for Linux Server
My manager asked me to create a daily / weekly / monthly checkup routine for a linux server (Centos 4). Some kind of a "to do" list, making sure all of the relevant services are working properly: hardware, software, network services, quota... I'm a linux newbie, and am not aware of all the components that are relevant to this kind of checkup.
Can you help me?
Thank you.
You could use Perl's
You could use Perl's Proc::ProcessTable module.
Personally I'd create a text file with the services I was checking for, seperated by a colon like:
Then I'd read that into the script and match it to the running processes using Proc::ProcessTable.
http://search.cpan.org/~durist/Proc-ProcessTable-0.45/Process/Process.pm should be able to get you started. Here's an ugly code that I threw together. It'll get the job done but there's much better ways to do it:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Proc::ProcessTable; use Data::Dumper; my $table = new Proc::ProcessTable( 'cache_ttys' => 1); my @processes; open(PROC, 'proc.check'); while () { chomp; @processes = split(/:/); } close(PROC); foreach my $process (@{$table->table}) { foreach my $monitor ($process->{cmndline}) { foreach my $check (@processes) { if ($monitor =~ m/$check/i) { print "$check found running\n"; } else { next; } } } }
Output will be:
~$ perl check.pl sshd found running mysqld found running mysqld found running mysqld found running apache2 found running apache2 found running apache2 found running apache2 found running apache2 found running apache2 found running apache2 found running apache2 found running apache2 found running apache2 found running apache2 found running sshd found running sshd found running apache2 found running apache2 found running
It removed my <PROC> from
It removed my <PROC> from the while loop.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

Irish Aid announces Special Emergency Funds for NGOs
Michael Kitt TD, Minister of State for Overseas Development, today announced a Special Emergency Fund which will enable Irish NGOs to respond quickly to global emergencies.
Under the terms of the agreement, Irish Aid will provide Concern, Goal and
"I am delighted to make this announcement. Experience from emergencies has shown that lives are saved where the international community responds quickly. This new fund will save lives by enabling our partners to improve the speed of their responses to humanitarian emergencies.
"Irish Aid already provides pre-allocated funds to both the United Nations and the International Red Cross for their Emergency Response work. It makes sense that Irish Aid should make similar provisions in respect of the three leading Irish relief agencies by establishing special emergency funds for them."
Note to Editors
This is a pilot programme which is set to be reviewed at the end of 2009. Under the initiative Irish Aid will transfer €500,000 to the three NGOs. In the event of a sudden onset emergency, they can draw down necessary funds from this account in order to facilitate an immediate response to the emergency. The NGO will inform Irish Aid of the level of draw down and purpose in advance. After the emergency, the NGO will report to Irish Aid on the expenditure. Subject to satisfactory reporting on all expenditure Irish Aid will replenish the Emergency Fund to return it to its running balance of €500,000.

text: Raspberry Pi Projects Posted by: Tyler Bailey May 11, 2013 in Systems 1 Comment It has been just over a year since the Raspberry Pi was released! Over the past year we have seen a ton of cool and amazing Raspberry Pi projects developed by the community! I have made a collection of what I believe are some of the unique and innovation uses of the Raspberry Pi! Major categories of current Raspberry Pi Projects below! Automation/Robotics GPIO Home automation – An easy way to control the lights in your house. All it takes is a few tools and a home owner can hook up their Raspberry Pi's to their houses electrical box. You can then control your house lights and or power loads with your smart phone or other mobile devices! But your Raspberry Pi requires an internet connection for this project. Picture Below: Solar-Powered Raspberry Pi - This Raspberry Pi project allows you to run your Pi off of sunlight! All you need is a car USB power adapter, car power socket, battery and solar panel! Set it up in an nice sunny area and watch it go to work. Picture Below: Media Centers Pandora Jukebox – Stream your Pandora music through a custom built Jukebox built with a breadboard, PI Cobbler, LCD screen, 6 buttons and a few resistors! Picture Below: Beet Box - Uses captive touch sensors to let you play beats with beats… and of course the Raspberry Pi! One of the more quirky projects in the community. Picture Below: Gaming Arcade Table - Requires some of woodworking skills to do this one. This Raspberry Pi project play's your old school arcade games, check e-mails, look at pictures or anything else you want! Picture Below: All in one Computer – Doesn't have to be for gaming, but you can easily setup an all in one computer with tight budget setup! Good for small areas or even just reduced electricity. Picture Below: Graphics/Sound Camera Pi (DSLR) – Create a DSLR Camera with an embedded computer! Wanted a camera with wireless tethering? Pictures are automatically sent to your PC or mobile device? Check it out! Picture Below: One-Button Audio book - Don't want to deal with an MP3 player, or put audio books on your smart phone? Just load them up on onto a USB and follow this walk through! Picture Below: Networking/Servers RPI-Wireless-Hotspot - One of the more practical Raspberry Pi projects that allows you to create a wireless hot spot! Great for extending a wireless routers coverage. Picture Below: Raspberry Pi Web Server – Simple concept for a Raspberry Pi project and is relativity easy to do. Though it won't handle enterprise traffic it will be fine for hosting a landing page or just to host a few files. Picture Below: Displays Automatic Picture Frame – Essentially appears the same as a digital picture frame that cycles through your pictures that you would buy from a electronic store. But what's cool about this is it can pull pictures from a popular art site! In this case it will pull pictures from Deviant Art throughout the day! KindleBerry Pi – Use your kindle as a monitor for your Raspberry Pi! Get a few USB cables, keyword and follow this guide! Picture Below: Other Raspberry Pi Projects There are other Raspberry Pi projects within the community. Those were just a few of the more popular ones that focused on much more of a DIY (Do it yourself) approach. One of the most popular Raspberry Pi projects to date though is that isn't exactly a DIY project. It is more of a just "install this and you are done" type of project. It is the Raspberry Pi XBMC. Raspberry Pi XBMC - Probably the cheapest Raspberry Pi media center you can run. For those who haven't heard of the term XBMC, (Xbox Media Center) its a free and open source media player application that play movies, music, display pictures and among other things. You can also install various plugins for watching YouTube videos, streaming websites like justin.tv and twitch.tv or even watch regular your regular TV channels! Picture Below: Final Thoughts That is it for this quick run through of some of the more popular Raspberry Pi projects.

The procession that began at 3.45 p.m returned about two hours later
The grand spectacle of 'Radhotsavam' (car festival) of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy held here on Thursday attracted a huge number of devotees.
The processional deities of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy and His consort Rajyalakshmi Ammavaru were taken in the gigantic chariot through the market street amidst a large congregation of devotees who poured in from early morning.
The town reverberated with the chants of 'Jai Lakshmi Narasimha' as the wooden chariot moved on graciously through the jam-packed street.
The procession that began at 3.45 p.m, went up to the Midde Centre and returned from there about two hours later.
The car festival brought the curtains down on the annual 'Brahmotsavam'. The `Radhotsavam' was preceded by `Kalyanam' performed in the late night of Wednesday.
Devotees had darsan of Sri Panakala Narasimha Swamy atop the hill and hundreds of them trekked to the `Gandalayam' situated on top of the hill to invoke the blessings of the God.
A large oil lamp was lit by them as had been the tradition for centuries.
The town wore a festive look as the devotees converged on the temple town well in advance and the market street was dotted with temporary shops that sprang overnight.
Petty vendors had a field day as there was a good demand for toys and other items sold by them at low prices.
Tight security arrangements were made by the police to avert any untoward incident.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

Perhaps it would be interesting to open up a "universities" category (or subcategory of Organization) to list universities that teach lisp?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Giants' Pierre-Paul to miss 3rd straight game
New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul will miss his third straight game with a shoulder injury. Coach Tom Coughlin said Friday that Pierre-Paul, cornerback Corey Webster (ankle) and rookie safety Copper Taylor (hamstring) are out for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Coughlin described Pierre-Paul's injury as a strain and added the doctors have not cleared him to practice or play. He hopes the fourth-year player might be able to get back for one of the final two games.
Pierre-Paul said Thursday he will not need shoulder surgery. He had back surgery in June and has struggled all season to regain his form, recording two sacks.
The former first-round draft pick had 16 1/2 sacks in 2011 and 6 ½ last year.

QED X TUBE 300-Andrew etc Please advise me
System: Marantz CD63SE, Exposure Super XX Integratde Amplifier and Monitor Audio Bronze 2 Speakers.
I bought 2 X 4 mtrs of QED X TUBE 300 speaker cable today as advised by the assistant in Sevenoaks Hi Fi. However instead of giving me bi-wire : 2 into my Amp and 4 into each speaker, the manager made me up 2 into my amp and 2 into each speaker, bridging the red-red and black-black with two loops of QED. The sound is great, but just wondering if this is what I should have been given and is it OK to have the bridging loops with just two banana plugs plugged into the back of each speaker. I got charged £120.00 including 8 QED Airloc Terminated Plugs.
It'll sound great because it's good speaker cable and you've effectively doubled the amount of it that you've used when compared to a normal run. However, if your double run is terminated at the speaker end with only 2 bananas you have not got a bi-wired setup, you just have a normal setup with double the cable.
Sounds great, then perhaps you wouldn't need to bi-wire anyway, but by the same token, you probably didn't need the double thickness either. So take it back and tell him he's a muppet and to reterminate the speaker end with 4 not 2 bananas. Otherwise you've effectively bought double the cable you need. This would be a bit pointless!
Did you really spend £120 on speaker cables for a pair of monitor Audio Bronze 2?
Yep 2x 4 mtrs =8 Mtrs @ £10.00 Total £80.00
Plus 4 QED Airloc Plugs @£5.00 Total £40.00
Looks like a thread for Oldphrt to come in on. Come on then, let him have both barrels!
Here's the reply I got by email from Sevenoaks earlier today:
To create your biwire links, we used QED Silver Anniversary XT which is a high quality cable. Considering the short run involved there should be no loss in quality whatever.
XT300 isn't suitable for biwire links due to the thickness and the way it is constructed.
In other words, "We can't squeeze it into an Airlock plug so we gave you something you didn't ask for instead".
Take Mr. T down there and show them who the fool is NOW! Ha!
Is that Mr. oldphrT?

Re: HTC ONE Phablet
Not a phablet fan myself but I sure would like to see HTC do this. I'd actually like to see an 8 to 10" tablet along the lines of the one's design.

Re: HTC ONE Phablet
AND . . . a big deal it is, to me at least and I am sure to others. If you are going to go toe to toe with Samsung on the Phablet Market, wait, forget that, if you are going to push for a BIG comeback you can go small or enter lightly into any market, you either go BIG OR GO HOME.
Your first foray into the Phablet market should NOT be what Samsung did in 2011 or 2012, it shouldn't be less that what LG just did with their Optimus G Pro. They put 32GB + microSD + 1080p at 5.5" and if HTC can't do at least that they shouldn't attempt it.
I for one would like to see HTC actually make a big comeback some of my prior Android phones were HTC, and IMO their problems were not entirely their fault, but Verizon's. Verizon has a nasty habit of forcing the OEM's to build something Verizon wants and its usually a cob job hack attempt that is buggy as shiz.
HTC is showing they can much, much MORE and why shouldn't they go big on the HTC One Max (T6). My point is a positive one for HTC, not a negative one against them.
I have actually rethought my whole interest in this device and perhaps not getting a phablet at all, maybe selling my GS4 getting the HTC One and a GN8.0 on AT&T. - 06-15-2013, 04:23 PM #28
Re: HTC ONE Phablet
I have to agree with you Nothingls True, I have a love hate relationship with Phablets, I want the one device that can do it all but I hate the lack of one handed use, etc.
Now that ATT is getting the GN8.0 w/ 32GB (and supposedly 64GB) of internal + microSD that has me thinking its a much, much better trade off along with an HTC One. - 06-17-2013, 08:31 AM #29
Re: HTC ONE Phablet
I would like to see HTC do well as well, because as I've stated many times I'm a fan of their products. Where I thought you were going with the Big Red statement was that they only push Motos and of late Sammys. The Rezound in my opinion was a much better offering than either the XMax or the GNex, but it got one lousy commercial that didn't say anything but the phone is loud. Meanwhile, I would like to see something smaller than phablet version of the HTC One come to Big Red, but if it's that or one of those other two I'll just have to be happy with my giant phone. That Sony XZ looks nice too, but again not on Big Red.

Re: HTC ONE Phablet
I do feel bad for anyone who walks into a wireless carrier store these days who hasn't done some level of research and gets pushed into an iphone, Samsung or Moto without any real thought on the "other" offerings that are out there.
Sadly Verizon's attitude is what drove me away from them. The Thunderbolt was the beginning and the Note 2 was the final straw. I find having a GSM/LTE phone is so much easier to deal with than a CDMA/LTE or Verizon locked LTE phone. I got my HTC One and popped my SIM in and voila it was up and running after a few taps and selecting the carrier. Much easier. - 06-26-2013, 07:43 PM #31

Re: HTC ONE Phablet
phablet sounds good, but probably you should wait for the second generation, not the first version
Re: HTC ONE Phablet
Current rumors have the HTC One Maxx getting 32 & 64GB internal storage options, question now is did we gain the microSD slot which was supposedly left out due to space constraints (LTE takes up too much room). If we get 64GB and 64GB microSD slot capacity this will be the Maxximum phone to have.
Re: HTC ONE Phablet
My only concern at this point will be the size. I truly wish there was something a bit smaller on the horizon for Verizon. The Max's specs look good and the success of it's smaller brother (HTC One) are good signs. With this being the only offering by Big Red around my renewal time, this will likely be my new hand set... If it will fit in my pocket.

Re: HTC ONE Phablet
With the Boom Sound speakers it may not be for the faint at heart
Re: HTC ONE Phablet
LG Pro 2 won't be until next spring/summer since it only launched in May of this year. Note 3 looks tempting, BUT, if the speaker in the same weak sauce they keep using its not a strong contender. They don't have to go dual front facing speakers like HTC but they do need to put a better and larger speaker on it.

Social justice from an Aboriginal perspective is about treating everyone affordably with the same rights, access and opportunities, showing respect and embracing all cultures within the community. It is essential that services and organisations create an opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and practices to be acknowledged and embedded into planning and delivery of effective and efficient services. This would enable a more client-friendly and culturally appropriate service that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people could access. Research indicates that Aboriginal people who have access to services that are culturally sensitive, close to where they live, staffed by Aboriginal health professionals, non-racist, where people are acknowledged as true owners of their land and culture, and where beliefs and traditions are respected and accepted would have healthier communities. In light of the above, research was undertaken to explore and identify the different types of health and counselling services in a rural and remote community in South West Queensland. The methodology used for this research integrated both a quantitative and qualitative approach, researching the services that existed through focus groups. There were a total of twenty-seven (27) participants recruited for the research. From the data collected and analysed the themes identified were: racism and discrimination, beliefs, attitudes and misconceptions, leadership, and culture. For the purpose of this paper racism and discrimination will be discussed in relation to health service provision.

Scolded for flying kites, teen hangs self from ceiling fan
The 13-year-old allegedly committed suicide after his father screamed at him for flying kites; he used to regularly do so, much to the chagrin of the parent, who wanted him to concentrate on his academics
2014-01-01 08:37:27
When Sunil Shinde, a Santacruz resident, chided his son for flying kites in the evening, he would've never imagined the extreme step the boy would take. His 13-year-old son Shitij proceeded to hang himself from a ceiling fan with the help of a dupatta.
The incident occurred on Monday evening when Shitij's father noticed his son flying kites outside his house. Incensed, he shouted at Shitij and tore his kite. He even threw the spool on the ground and scolded him in front of all the neighbours. According to senior police inspector Vinayak Mulay of Vakola police station, Sunil Shinde didn't like his son's hobby.
He felt it wasn't a sport befitting a 13-year-old and that his son was too old to fly kites. He wanted Shitij to focus on his studies instead. Residents say Sunil had taken his son to task for his activities often. Shitij has a younger brother, who is four years old, and has his vacations going on.
On Monday evening, when Shitij's mother had gone to drop off his brother to tuition, the teen was flying kites. When his father saw him and screamed at him, he went inside the house. He took out his mother's dupatta, tied it to a ceiling fan and hanged himself. Later in the evening, his mother found Shitij's body.
With the help of neighbours, the boy was rushed to a local hospital, but was declared dead on arrival. Senior PI Mulay informed, "We have registered an accidental death report, and it is a clear case of suicide. After conducting a post-mortem, the body was handed over to family members."

Timberwolves close in on yet another point guard: free agent J.J. Barea
The jokes have been easy since Timberwolves GM David Khan selected three point guards in the first round of the 2009 draft, including two with back-to-back picks at No. 5 and No. 6 when Stephen Curry was still on the board. The jokes will come back today, once the Timberwolves finalize a reported four-year, $19 million deal with J.J. Barea, a crucial reserve-turned-starter on the Mavericks' championship team.
But I'm having a hard time summoning any real negativity about this deal, even if the Wolves have both Ricky Rubio and Luke Ridnour under contract for the next few seasons, giving them three point guards deserving of major playing time. One of those point guards has never played in the NBA and is coming off a Euroleague season in which he shot worse than 40 percent from the floor and 25 percent from three-point range. The other, Ridnour, is a decent long-range shooter coming off a season in which his turnover rate blew up to a career-worst level, his defense remained so-so and he looked a bit uncomfortable in Kurt Rambis' triangle offense. His addiction to questionable pull-up jumpers in transition remained strong, though.
In other words: It's not the worst thing in the world to have a third point guard here, even if Rick Adelman's corner offense system isn't as heavy on the pick-and-roll — Barea's main strength. Barea might be a bit overpaid at about $5 million per year, but he wouldn't be overpaid by much, and the Wolves retain a bunch of financial flexibility going forward. They have only about $27.6 million in guaranteed money committed for 2012-13, though they'll obviously work to sign Kevin Love to the maximum five-year deal allowed in the new CBA for so-called "designated players." Martell Webster and Brad Miller have mostly non-guaranteed deals for 2012-13, and the following players will either hit restricted free agency or team options over the next two years: Michael Beasley, Anthony Randolph, Wesley Johnson, Lazar Hayward and Wayne Ellington. Even Darko Milicic's horrid deal is only about one-third guaranteed for 2013-14.
Toss in the amnesty clause, available for use anytime on any player on the roster before last Friday, and the Wolves have the kind of financial flexibility to sign someone like Barea as a potential Rubio mentor/tradeable contract/insurance policy.
Barea has one monster skill that could work well in Minnesota, depending on how often Adelman wants to use it: He has unique experience running a pick-and-roll with a power forward who can shoot jumpers. The Barea/Nowitzki pick-and-roll was devastating, in part because Nowitzki's defenders are so fearful about jumping off of Dirk to contain Barea's penetration, allowing Barea to pick his way into the lane. And Barea does well from there, with his hesitation dribbles and array of crazy flip shots, and the Wolves will have something if he and Love can duplicate that chemistry. Barea also improved his pass-or-shot decision-making last season, which helps explain his career-highs in both assist rate and shooting percentage on attempts at the rim. Barea had historically been a low-percentage shooter, compared to the average point guard, on those close shots, and his value diminishes big time if those numbers return to his prior career norms. That said, he was unusually inaccurate last season on long two-point shots, an area from which he has generally been very good. And he worked his three-point percentage up to league average, where it has always been, after a terrible start.
You know the issues: Barea's short, and he's always going to be a liability on defense, despite his pesky on-ball work against the pick-and-roll. Guards will attack him in the post, forcing double teams or flop attempts, and he ranked near the bottom of the league in defending spot-up attempts, according to the stat-tracking service Synergy Sports. His lack of length hurts him in chasing shooters and contesting shots. The Wolves almost certainly won't run as much zone as Dallas did last season, and Barea won't have Tyson Chandler around to help contain pick-and-roll plays; Milicic is an elite shot-blocker, but he's not in the same league as Chandler in jumping out to contain quick ball-handlers.
As for the Mavs, the championship exodus continues, but history will probably vindicate Mark Cuban and Donnie Nelson for allowing most of these defections to go unanswered. The Mavs want cap room next year and beyond, and they could get themselves between $11 million and $20 million of space this summer by some combination of buying out Lamar Odom's cheap-ish unguaranteed deal for 2012-13, declining various team options linked to young players and using the amnesty provision on Brendan Haywood. Barea will be 32 by the end of this four-year deal, and the Mavs are justified for thinking they'd be better off without that cap hit.
That's especially so because Barea's value was so tied to Nowitzki's presence. Dirk is still here, and the Mavs must hope Roddy Beaubois (coming off a lost season due to injury) and perhaps even Dominique Jones can develop the kind of pick-and-roll chemistry Barea had with Nowitzki. That's a risk; those guys don't match Barea as a passer, and neither has Barea's subtle change-of-pace trickery mastered yet. But in addition to size, both add other skills — explosiveness, finishing and defense — Barea lacks, and the Mavs may well absorb the blow of losing Barea without feeling all that much. Again: The most important part of the Barea/Nowitzki duo is still in Dallas.
But add it all up — the losses of Barea, Chandler and Caron Butler — and the Mavs will feel something in 2011-12, despite the addition of Odom. Still, if the Mavs want flexibility in the face of a harsher new luxury tax — and without Laker- or Knick-level profit guarantees — they are doing the right thing, and the could still push for the title this season with some good fortune.

McKinsey report pegs 13-point reforms plan
Our Bureau
NEW DELHI, Sept. 6
AT a time when the Union Government is virtually at its wit's end to devise ways to halt the industrial slowdown and accelerate economic growth, any reforms package assuring a 10 per cent annual GDP growth must be music to the ears of policy-makers.
Music it was that was played here late this afternoon at 7, Race Course Road, the Prime Minister's residence. The musician ushering in good cheer was McKinsey & Company which made a detailed presentation on its report entitled `India: The growth imperati
ve - Understanding the barriers to rapid growth and employment creation'.
And all ears, apart from the Prime Minister, Mr Atal Bihari Vajpayee, were the Finance Minister, Mr Yashwant Sinha, the Home Minister, Mr L.K. Advani, the Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission, Mr K.C. Pant, the RBI Deputy Governor, Dr Bimal Jalan,
as also about a dozen Secretaries of economic Ministries.
Adopting a bottom-up approach, the project involved studying 13 sectors in detail - two in agriculture, five in manufacturing and six in services. Together, according to Mr Shirish Sankhe, Partner, McKinsey and Company, they accounted for 26 per cent of
India's GDP and 24 per cent of employment.
What must have been to the delight of the audience, Mr Sankhe said: ``What holds India back today is not the scarcity of resources, either human or capital, but barriers that prevent these resources from being utilised efficiently, i.e., barriers that co
nstrain productivity growth.''
Unveiling a focused 13-point reforms programme while elaborating on the key findings of the project, Mr Sankhe emphasised that India can achieve a growth rate of 10 per cent annually which is not only possible but also imperative if the country is to avo
id an unemployment crisis.
The three main categories of these barriers, he said, are product market barriers. These are factors that distort the prices and quantities of goods and services produced. To correct this which will benefit a host of sectors like manufacturing, power, te
lecom, retail trade, dairy processing and petroleum marketing, the report says that the Government should abolish reservation for the 836 SSI items, starting with 68 sectors accounting for 80 per cent of the output. Sales tax and excise should be equalis
ed for all players in each sector and enforcement should be strengthened while all licensing restrictions should be removed.
This apart, import duties on all goods should be reduced to 10 per cent, as in South-East Asian nations, over a period of five years and, more importantly, the ban on foreign direct investment (FDI) in retail trade should be removed.
The other barriers are land market barriers which distort the price of land and government ownership in sectors such as power. These three barriers alone constrain GDP growth by four percentage points. Among the recommendations are repeal of ULCRA, raisi
ng property taxes and reducing stamp duties, reform in tenancy laws and privatisation of the power sector.
Dismantling these barriers, Mr Sankhe explained, will unleash productivity growth in construction, retail trade, food processing, telecom and power, especially when it is in these sectors the gap between current productivity and their potential is the la
rgest. It will also allow India to mobilise more capital and its investment rate can go up from 24.5 per cent to 30 per cent of GDP.
Thus, by growing at 10 per cent over the next ten years, India will be able to create 75 million jobs outside the farm sector. While the Centre must take the lead, the states will have a crucial role to play as a third of the reforms are in their hands.
To reach the 10 per cent growth target by 2005, rapid implementation of the 13-point programme over the next 2-3 years, the report says, is critical.

Night Thoughts
Wendy and Jack are in bed. Jack is asleep, and Wendy is thinking about him.
Before Danny, Wendy and her mother weren't speaking.
When Danny was born Wendy and her mother started talking again, but Wendy doesn't like being around her. Especially with Danny. Her mother criticizes everything she does.
She thinks of the days when Jack would type all night with baby Danny by his side. She'd find the two of them sleeping together on the couch, Danny on Jack's chest.
Jack is in grad school and his drinking is under control. It's mostly social.
After grad school, Jack gets the job at Stovington Prep.
The day he sells a short story to
magazine for $900 he gets really drunk and comes home late.
Baby Danny wakes up. Jack tries to comfort him, but (oops!) drops him on the floor. Then Jack and Wendy fight.
Now Wendy thinks of Danny with his arm in the cast. She doesn't leave Jack after he breaks Danny's arm because a) Danny loves him, and b) she doesn't want to have to go live with her mother.
Her mother didn't go to her wedding, but her father did.
Wendy doesn't want to admit to her mother that the marriage to Jack is a failure.
She watches Jack's drinking get worse and worse and hopes for some kind of miracle.
Then the miracle does happen.
It happens the night Danny dreams Jack is in a car crash; Jack gives up drinking.
Wendy plans to tell him she wants a divorce. She will go to live with her mother; her mother had said it was Wendy's fault when Wendy's father left her.
Although she expects Jack to show his mean side when she tells him she wants to talk, he asks, gently, if she can wait a week. Then, the drinking stops, but she doesn't know why.
She remembers giving birth to Danny. When he's born, she thinks "
He has no face!
" (6.64).
But he does have a face; it's just covered by "a caul" (6.65). Wendy doesn't believe in old wives' tales that caul babies have "second sight" (6.65). Still, sometimes Danny seems to know things.
Jack has always been a great father and taken responsibility for much of Danny's care and feeding. She knows Danny loves his father best.
And Wendy still loves Jack, in spite of all that's happened. She definitely loves Danny, and she loves seeing Jack and Danny together.
Now that Jack has this job at the hotel, maybe everything will get better.
