It's not often the No. 1 and No. 2 pick in the NFL draft go on to win the NFL Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year Awards.
It had only been done twice in the 43-year history of the award before Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and Broncos linebacker Von Miller accomplished the feat last season.
On Sunday at Bank of America Stadium, Newton and Miller — Nos. 1 and 2 in the 2011 NFL Draft — will face off.
"Him being No. 1 and me being No. 2, I definitely want to win," Miller said. "And I'm sure he would say the same thing, too. I'm Cam's biggest fan, but Sunday, I definitely want to win."
In 2011, Newton's 14 rushing touchdowns were an NFL record for a quarterback, and he became the first player in league history to throw for 4,000 yards and rush for 500.
Miller, meanwhile, has compiled 20.5 sacks in his first 23 games in the league. On Sunday, he could become the only Bronco to surpass 21 sacks in his first two seasons in the NFL. In 2012, he is tied for first in the league in tackles for loss with 17 and is tied for second in sacks with nine.
With the No. 2 pick in the 2011 draft, Head Coach John Fox and the rest of the Broncos personnel staff spent time analyzing several players as they prepared. Fox remembers thinking that Newton was a "terrific talent," but snatching Miller with their pick has worked out exactly how they had hoped.
"We had to react to what Carolina did in front of us, but we felt like we were going to get a good player at that No. 2 pick and we're really pleased with who we took," he said.
Panthers Head Coach Ron Rivera said the decision to take Newton over Miller was "very close."
"If certain things had come up and allowed us to, then we would most certainly look at Von and say 'Wow, this kid's a special football player. He's got some great ability,'" Rivera recalled. "He deserved to be picked where he was by Denver. The young man is a heck of a football player."
Looking back, Miller wouldn't have it any other way.
"I'm happy to be a Bronco," he said. "I wouldn't want to change it for anything else."
But after the game, he hopes to leave with a little bit of Carolina blue.
"Hopefully we can switch jerseys or something," Miller said.

Wells' big hit powers Yanks

(AP Photo/Frank Franklin II) |
NEW YORK — Vernon Wells broke out of his big slump with a pinch-hit, three-run double, and the New York Yankees rallied to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-5 on Saturday.
Wells was in a 9-for-87 slide that landed him on the bench the past two days, with rookie outfielder Zoilo Almonte starting in his place. But with the Yankees trailing 5-4 in the seventh inning, Wells batted for No. 9 hitter Chris Stewart with the bases loaded and two outs.
Wells' drive to right-center bounced above the top of the wall, where it hit a fan's glove and was ruled fan interference.
The umpires allowed all three runners to cross home plate, determining David Adams would have scored from first base if not for the fan interference. They sent Wells back to second, but the Yankees suddenly had a 7-5 lead.
Rays manager Joe Maddon argued that it should have been called a ground-rule double, with only two runs scoring.
Tampa Bay led 5-3 after top prospect Wil Myers hit a grand slam for his first career home run in the sixth.
Wells' clutch hit got CC Sabathia (8-5) off the hook after he allowed five runs in seven innings. Mariano Rivera worked a scoreless ninth for his 26th save.
Meanwhile, Almonte kept up his hot hitting, starting in Wells' place in left field. On Friday night, he went 3 for 4 with a home run. He was 1 for 2 with two walks and three RBIs on Saturday.
David Robertson came on after the Yankees took the lead and pitched a perfect eighth with two strikeouts.
Joel Peralta (1-4) took over for the Rays in the seventh and immediately got in trouble. He loaded the bases on two walks and Lyle Overbay's double, and was pulled for Jake McGee.
McGee struck out Jayson Nix for the second out but walked Adams to force in a run, the second time the Yankees scored on a bases-loaded walk.
Wells then batted for Stewart, who was 0 for 3 with a double play to end a second-inning threat.
The Rays trailed 3-1 when the Yankees intentionally walked Evan Longoria with two outs to get to Myers.
The rookie came in hitting .190 in five games since he was called up from the minors at the beginning of the week. He'd had exactly one hit in four straight games before going 3 for 4 on Saturday in his first start as a designated hitter.
Longoria was 2 for 2 with a double and a solo homer that accounted for the Rays' lone run when the Yankees intentionally walked him. On a 1-2 count, Myers hit a high fly to center. Brett Gardner jumped at the fence and the ball bounced off the webbing of his glove and into the stands, though it appeared to already be over the wall when he touched it.
Rays rookie starter Alex Colome is yet to allow an earned run over 10 innings in two career starts. He gave up three unearned runs, five hits and five walks with three strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings.

Study Abroad
Study Away and Mobility Opportunities
Crossing cultural boundaries is a hallmark of the Corcoran experience. Among the many possibilities are a travel study course in India with Corcoran faculty, an exchange program with Swedish students on site in Washington, D.C., and a photography research experience in El Salvador.
A number of international courses have been designed to complement the curricula of both degree-seeking and Continuing Education students. An extraordinarily high percentage of Corcoran students take advantage of our International Study programs—living, learning, and connecting in destinations throughout Latin America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
New York Studio Program
The New York Studio Residency Program is open to advanced (usually junior year) students selected by the college for independent study during either the fall or spring semester. The program stresses self-directed studio work, coupled with critiques, seminars, and an exposure to the cultural life of New York City. It is taught by experienced faculty drawn from AICAD member colleges and is administered for AICAD by two part-time, on-site staff.
The semester-long program is located in a building on Jay Street in Brooklyn's DUMBO neighborhood. Students have access to individual art studios, a seminar room, a wood shop, a computer room, and a kitchen/dining area. The New York Studio Residency Program offers two options:
- Independent Study: Students receive studio space to pursue their work based on a plan developed with their chair or program director.
- Internships: Students can work with professional design firms or assist artists and other professionals.
Students participating in either option must attend seminars and visiting artist lectures, maintain a journal, and keep up with required studio work or internship tasks for a total of 13 credit hours per semester. The four faculty members consist of two art critic/writers and two artists, with a man and woman in each group. There is a studio manager for the facility as well who works with the director and the students.
Applicants must submit a formal application, be in good academic standing, have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0, and secure recommendations by two faculty members. Participants will be selected by a jury of Corcoran faculty and deans. The Corcoran deadlines for expressing an interest in applying to the program are October 14 for the following spring semester and March 15 for the following fall semester.
Credits earned while enrolled in the New York Studio program are granted by the School of Visual Arts and are recorded by the Corcoran as equivalent credit after successful completion of the program. Credits earned through the program do not count against the Corcoran's undergraduate limit of a maximum nine credit hours of transfer credit.

Ladakh, a high-altitude desert beyond the peaks of the Himalaya, offers few resources in an extreme climate. Yet it has been the home of a thriving agricultural society for over a thousand years. In this course students explore the coping skills and attitudes that allow the people of Ladakh to survive and prosper in peace and harmony under the harshest of circumstances. Students examine community and family structures, the role of ancient localized knowledge, as well as Buddhist traditions to learn whether Ladakh is prepared to meet the challenges of increasing westernization without losing its ecological balance and social harmony. The course will meet four times during the spring semester to prepare for a month-long tour of Ladakh beginning in June in New Delhi.

SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, Mexico
The Pittman Study Away Program was officially launched in January of 2009, through the vision and generosity of our patrons, Robert and Veronique Pittman.
This program is a formal collaboration between the Corcoran Gallery and College of Art + Design and the National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature in Mexico City and their affiliated colleges of art and design, La Esmerelda, and Designo & Artesanias.
The vision behind this collaboration is to develop bi-national artistic and educational programs in which there are full reciprocal exchanges between the students, faculty, visiting artists, and exhibitions of both institutions to deepen our collective appreciation and understanding of each other's artistic culture, histories and collective futures.
Through these exchanges, program participants will cross borders and explore the environments and communities found in Washington, DC, Mexico City as well as in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, at The Ignacio Ramirez "El Nigromante" Cultural Center, locally known as Bellas Artes.
In San Miguel de Allende the Corcoran will expand the academic setting well beyond the classroom to a seventeenth century Spanish Colonial town, considered to be one of Mexico's most beautiful cities, and has a unique tradition of attracting artists and art students from around the world.
Through the Pittman Study Away Program, American and Mexican students and faculty will become fully immersed in the celebration of a cross-cultural experience, working collaboratively to shape a mutually enriching dialog and collective imagination through the language of art.
Faculty Artists in Residence
In Mexico, The Pittman Study Away Program provides month long residencies for faculty through an initiation into the world of cross-cultural exchange, to expand their practice creating new works of art, engaging the community through lectures and special projects, and teaching in a new landscape and culture.
This immersion into the art, culture, and history of Mexico will inspire our faculty to also expand their curricular parameters for our students, and result in personal and professional growth and contribute to the global citizenship of our faculty.
In Washington, DC, The Pittman Program welcomes Faculty Artists in Residence for month long residencies in partnership with the Mexican Cultural Institute, one of the most important artistic and cultural centers established outside of Mexico. Its primary mission is to promote the vast and rich traditions of Mexico's cultural past and present.
Mexican Faculty Artists in Residence engage the whole of the Corcoran community through sharing and perusing their artistic practice, teaching students, lecturing, and through exhibitions of their work. Working along side our faculty and students creates a reciprocal learning opportunity through art education to broaden our pedagogical discourse and understanding.
Robert Devers
Director: Pittman Study Away Program
San Miguel de Allende, nestled in the mountainous central region of Mexico, is part of the "Bajio" region in the state of Guanajuato. This "low" region in reality averages about 7000 feet, but is called so for being a relatively flat area ringed by mountains. San Miguel El Grito (as it was originally known) was founded by a Franciscan monk in 1542. It was an important stopover of the silver route from Zacatecas.
When the Mexican War of Independence began in the nearby town of Dolores (now know as Dolores Hildago) on September 16, 1810, in an act now celebrated as "El Grito", the rapidly growing revolutionary army came to San Miguel El Grande. Dolores Hildago is known as the "Cradle of National Independence" while San Miguel calls itself the "Forge of National Independence", for it was here that General Ignacio Allende joined the army as Padre Miguel Hildago's chief lieutenant and led the army to several victories. Allende was not able to enjoy a Mexico independent from Spanish oppression, however, as he was captured during battle and summarily executed. He is now a national hero, and the town renamed itself "San Miguel de Allende" in 1826 to honor his actions.
As its mineral wealth waned, San Miguel was popular as both a quiet, beautiful place to live and an attraction for the wealthy for its natural hot springs. By 1900, the town itself was in danger of dying out. Having been declared a national monument in 1926 (no neon signs, no modern buildings), the old Centro district still has the colonial style elegance of its wealthy past.
It was after World War II that San Miguel de Allende began to revive as a tourist attraction, as many GI's discovered that their education grants stretched further in Mexico at the US accredited art school, the Instituto Allende, founded in 1950.
San Miguel de Allende is world famous for its mild climate, colonial architecture, and an expatriate population that estimates a number between 6,000 and 8,000. The total population is about 85,000, and is primarily made up of Americans and Canadians, with a smattering of Europeans and other nationalities. Many people have elected to retire here, as the large community of foreigners has brought about a number of conveniences that would normally not be available in a town of this size. San Miguel de Allende was declared a World Heritage Site in 2008.

The Mobility Program
As a member of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design (AICAD), the Corcoran participates in a mobility program with more than 30 affiliated institutions in the United States and Canada. Current or prospective juniors may apply to attend one of the participating institutions with which we have a reciprocal agreement. Tuition and financial aid continue to be handled by the Corcoran, although the host school may charge lab and student fees separately.
Applications are due one semester prior to the desired semester of study (October 14 for the following spring semester and March 30 for the following fall semester). Interested students must meet with the associate director of student affairs for assistance in selecting the most beneficial program for their educational and career goals, interests, and abilities. Completed applications are sent to the host institution by the Office of Student Affairs (not by the individual student).
The mobility program is open to full-time bachelor students entering or in their junior year who are in good academic standing, have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0, have obtained their chair's approval, and otherwise meet the eligibility requirements of their specific program. Students may attend another mobility institution for one semester only. While students choose which mobility program institution they wish to attend, the host institution retains sole discretion to accept or decline an application and to approve course selection.
Credits earned at the host institution through the AICAD mobility program are accepted as Corcoran equivalent credits and thus do not count against the Corcoran's undergraduate limit of a maximum nine credit hours of transfer credit. Grades received while on mobility become part of a student's permanent record and are included in calculating his/her cumulative GPA.

More Information for Students
Study Abroad
Corcoran students may also apply to study abroad for one semester during their junior year outside of the AICAD mobility program. The college has preapproved several schools and programs that have hosted Corcoran students in the past; this list is available from the Office of Student Affairs. The number of students eligible to participate each semester is limited.
Students wishing to study abroad at a preapproved school continue to pay tuition to the Corcoran, and credits earned are accepted after review without counting against the nine-credit limit on transfer credits. Grades received become part of a student's permanent record and are included in calculating his/her cumulative GPA.
Interested students should meet with the associate director of student affairs for assistance in choosing the program that most fits their needs. An internal application to participate in Study Abroad is due October 1 for the following spring semester and March 1 for the following fall semester.
Eligibility requirements include good academic standing, a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, and completion of an essay describing the student's goals for studying abroad. The application, essay, and a course plan must be approved by the student's department chair and submitted to the Office of Student Affairs, which will rank applicants in consultation with the Dean's Office. Completed applications are sent to the host institutions by the Office of Student Affairs (not by the individual student).
After returning, students who successfully complete a Study Abroad program can be required to present an overview of their experiences at a gathering of faculty and fellow students.
Students may wish to attend schools abroad that are not preapproved by the Corcoran. A student may ask that a school be considered for preapproval status by contacting the associate director of student affairs; if the school is approved by the Provost's Office, the student may then pursue the procedures outlined above.
Alternately, a student may take a Leave of Absence to study at a school not approved by the college; however, any credits earned and grades received will be reviewed for acceptability upon the student's return and treated under the terms of the college's Transfer Credit Policy. Students who wish to participate in non-approved programs are not required to apply for these programs through the Corcoran or seek departmental approval for participation.
Mobility/Study Abroad Tuition and Housing
Students participating in the mobility program or an approved study abroad program pay Corcoran tuition directly to the Corcoran College of Art + Design (there are no exceptions to this policy). If applicable, the student receives the regular financial aid award to which he or she is entitled. Students participating in the mobility program or study abroad programs are not eligible for employment from the host institution.
Students must contact the host institution to determine if there are any additional fees, outside of tuition, that are required. Policies on these fees vary by institution and program and are to be paid directly to the host institution by the student. Students are responsible for arranging and paying for housing and transportation during the mobility/study abroad semester.
Mobility/Study Abroad Grades
While away, students are governed by the host institution's academic regulations. All courses taken at a host institution must be pre-approved by the student's chair or program director, and a mobility/study abroad course substitution form must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar prior to the student's exchange semester. Credits received through the mobility and approved study away programs are counted toward the student's residency at the Corcoran College of Art + Design, and are factored into the student's cumulative GPA.
After completing a mobility/study abroad semester, student must request an official transcript of their grades to be sent to the Office of the Registrar at the Corcoran to apply the credits to their program. Official transcripts and final course substitution forms are due no later than 30 days into the semester following their exchange semester. If credits for the exchange semester are not finalized by this deadline, a registration hold will be placed on the student's record, and he or she will not be able to register for future semesters or make changes to his or her current schedule.

I have the exact same issue. I have an updated ADR, TrueView, and an expired trial of Autocad 2013 installed.
I was able to open DWGs by right clicking on them and choosing Open With>TrueView.
With Design Review AND TrueView installed (and possibly working together), can I open DWG files and "red line" them? If so, does it convert the DWG file into DWF before I can "red line" them?
Background: Even though I know AutoCAD very well (I teach night classes) they won't let me have AutoCAD here at the construction site of my day job, for some reason. I've been using TrueView to examine contractor dwg files. I need to upgrade TrueView to see new R2013 DWG files, and I figure I might as well get Design Review so I can mark up drawings (assuming I can) , not just alter layers and save as .pdf.
ADR only works on DWF files: if you want to 'redline' DWG files you must use a program that reads and writes DWG (aka AutoCAD or others). Trueview is a viewer with printing and conversion abilities only.
Autodesk does not offer any free backdoor way to edit and markup DWG files directly unless you all want to explore using www.autocadws.com online (a great tool IMHO that is still free) or through collaboration in Autodesk 360's cloud if you all are on current AutoCAD versions.

The 37-year-old pro makes his appearance near the end of the clip, where the driver gets in the way of what he has struggled to do consistently — make putts.

Responding to the need for critical information on emerging trends involving felonious assaults directed at law enforcement, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), in partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance, has established the National Center for the Prevention of Violence Against the Police. The mission of the National Center is to prevent felonious assaults against law enforcement through the timely development and dissemination of actionable information within the wider context of IACP's officer safety initiatives.
The National Center is currently seeking the following information which will be kept confidential:
This agency self assessment tool is designed to help law enforcement leaders evaluate their agency's efforts to fully address the safety needs of their officers. Use this tool to proactively examine the range of critical officer safety strategies and determine areas where your agency can take action to improve. When taken together, the infrastructure improvements, systemic policies and strategies covered by this checklist will enhance officer safety and potentially prevent acts of violence against law enforcement.
Use the resource identified for each topic to help you address these issues within your agency and use the checklist on the back page to map your progress.
For more information on these strategies and additional resources, statistics, and facts please refer to the links below:
This report focuses on prevention through awareness by bringing together brief summaries of each line-of-duty death from felonious assaults in 2011. It is the hope of the IACP's National Center that this document helps facilitate this process and highlights the necessity for law enforcement to rely on their training and remain vigilant when interacting with the public.
IACP Informational Briefs BJA's Public Safety Officers' Benefits Program (PSOB) CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention & Control (NCIPC) CDC's National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) DOT's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) FBI's Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) The Officer Down Memorial Page, Inc.
This table represents the data collection and review efforts of the National Center to date. Each of these identified partners have played an integral role in project development through collaboration, guidance, and support. This review of the available felonious and accidental line of duty death data, as well as more general use of force information, is intended to be a resource to facilitate the identification and utilization of this data. The table also provides additional information in several key areas including:

Lowering the Bar: World Cup Edition
With soccer filling the airwaves, many bars and restaurants are offering special deals to lure in World Cup fans. Here are a few of our favorites.
Anti-France Whiskey at Kezar Pub: The good folks at Kezar Pub (who will be open at 4:30 am for all the morning games) are putting their money where their Gallic loathing is: any time a team scores against France in a Cup game, a round of Irish whiskey shots is on them. Zidane, what have you wrought? Kezar Pub and Restaurant, 770 Stanyan St. at Waller, Upper Haight.
Anti-France Pints at O'Neill's: Also in the "we loathe France" category, O'Neill's will dole out free pints anytime a team scores against them. If Irish pubs all want us to root against France, we have to admit: it's working. O'Neill's Irish Pub, 47 3rd St. at Market, Financial District.
Breakfast Boozing at The Taco Shop: Nothing says Saturday morning like a fierce round of soccer, a $6 Bloody Mary, and a $12 bucket of Bud or Bud Light. Oh yeah, and Nick's Crispy Tacos (and breakfast burritos) are on the scene, too. Ay, caramba. The Taco Shop at Underdogs, 1824 Irving St. at 19th, Inner Sunset.
Cheap Beer at The Republic: The Marina's newest beer bar will have a rotating $4 brew special during the Cup, not to mention their usual special of $12 bottomless mimosas during Saturday and Sunday brunch (11 am-4 pm). It should all go down well with their 14 HDTVs. The Republic, 3213 Scott St. at Lombard, Marina.
Taverna Aventine Beer Deals: The two 50" sets at this FiDi watering hole just might have you staggering back late from lunch, especially with $3 bottles and $15 buckets of Black Star lager or $4 pints of Stella and Guinness on offer. Taverna Aventine, 582 Washington St. at Hotaling, Financial District.
Early-Morning Happy Hour at Mercury Lounge: Like your mornings heavy on the soccer and beer? If you hit Mercury Lounge before 7 am, you'll be rewarded with a free cup of coffee or $1 pint, depending on your preference. The soccer fanatics here will have every last game available (along with breakfast). Mercury Lounge, 1582 Folsom St. at 12th St., SOMA.
Coors Light at Jake's Steaks: We can't say it's the first beer we think of when we think "World Cup," but with 22 oz glasses of Coors Light available all day at this Marina hangout for $3, we're not complaining. Wear the jersey of a team that's playing the day you go, and your 22 oz brewski is only $2. Jake's Steaks, 3301 Buchanan St. at Lombard, Marina.
Cheap Beer at McTeague's: It made the Final Four of Thrillist's national Best Sports Bar contest, so why not see what all the fuss is about? The bar opens at 6:30 am on game days, and $3 Heineken, Heineken Light, Amstel Light, and Newcastle Summer are available. McTeague's Saloon, 1237 Polk St. at Bush, Polk Gulch.
Early Showings at Danny Coyle's: It's one of the few spots braving the 4:30 am games. Eight HDTVs, a large projection screen and a full bar should be enough to get you out of bed. Danny Coyle's, 668 Haight St. at Pierce, Lower Haight.
Hungry? Here's where to eat during the World Cup.
Soccer clueless? Here's a SF World Cup 101.

RIM will continue to support Flash without Adobe
Research in Motion has announced they will continue to support Flash player on their BlackBerry PlayBook tablet despite the fact that Adobe revealed yesterday they were no longer planning to develop future versions of the software.
In a statement to AllThingsD, RIM says it had licensed Adobe's source code and plans to continue to update aspects of the software to run on their tablet.
As an Adobe source code licensee, we will continue to work on and release our own implementations. RIM remains committed to delivering an uncompromised Web browsing experience to our customers, including native support for Adobe Flash Player on our BlackBerry PlayBook tablet (similar to a desktop PC browser), as well as HTML5 support on both our BlackBerry smartphone and PlayBook browser. In fact, we are pleased that Adobe will focus more efforts on the opportunities that HTML5 presents for our developers, and shares our commitment to HTML5 as we discussed together at DevCon Americas.
As the report points out, RIM may soon realize that taking on such a challenge could be more work than they bargained for. Of course, when your operating system is heavily based on Flash like QNX is, you're options are limited.
As the saying goes, "when it rains, it pours," and that couldn't be more truthful for the struggling BlackBerry maker. Trouble started earlier this year with subpar earnings results which snowballed into job cuts worldwide. Poor PlayBook sales led to excess inventory which prompted RIM to slash prices twice in an effort to get tablets in the hands of consumers quicker. A massive BlackBerry outage last month led to lawsuits in the US and Canada from disgruntled customers and the company recently delayed the long-awaited PlayBook OS 2.0 update until February 2012.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
Please RIM, let Flash die peacefully
Please RIM die quickly...
I didn't know QNX was heavily based on Flash. Anyways, RIM should focus on developing a solid OS and bringing OS 8(?) to their mobile phones.
I don't know why, but I really dislike RIM. This news doesn't really help either...
So basically Adobe went "Guys, i've decided to agree with a lot of you and mobile flash is definately not the way forwards".
Then RIM went "Perfect, now we can offer our users an even more poorer experience".
Or will RIM support HTML5??

The answer to your question is in the article you may want to try reading it again.
Let me see here. I have spent countless dollars on PB OS2 which includes Flash and HTML5. Adobe just decided they were wrong and will now focus on HTLM5.
My choices are:
1. scrap my already in progress work, waste my money
2. continue with the development of my OS while still supporting both Flash and HTML5
Its interesting people just will see ONLY what they want, taking what appears to be the bad side of things.
The problem with Black Berries: They just aren't cool.
If RIM could just get a cool factor going for them they could recover.

Pronounced 'Mo-Dee-YEZ', it doesn't exactly trip off the tongue. But that's not the point. French law requires that government agencies use French terms—and teachers are required to spread the word. New words are approved by the Academie Francaise and written into the lawbooks.
The French word for hashtag, published in the official journal on Wednesday, follows the government's somewhat successful redefinition of email—courriel—and its less successful attempt to persuade people to avoid the word "weekend."

Christina Aguilera is no Lady Gaga fan. The Born This Way exhibitionist has been savagely dissed by the Burlesque star before. In 2008, Aguilera bashed the Judas singer by claiming that she couldn't tell if the Lady "was a man or a woman." Now, she's verbally K.O.'ed the meat wearer once again.
Apparently, during a recent taping of The Voice, Christina started venting about how she's more talented and entertaining than Lady Gaga.
"Christina told a contestant she was ten times better than Gaga," claimed an inside source, "[She also] said her rival was annoying – and expressed her amazement that Gaga ever got famous. It caused quite a scene, and producers insisted on reshooting the segment."
Christina Aguilera has a point. Or two. The Egg Lady will never in her wildest dreams possess Aguilera's set of pipes. And she is one of the most annoying people on the planet--not to mention one of the most pretentious. Nevertheless, Aguilera's fellow cast and crew members on The Voice seemed to take Gaga's side, claiming that the former Disney kid dissed the Born This Way singer out of sheer meanness.
"She's bitter person with an ax to grind about everything," said another inside source describing Aguilera. "She's like a bitter old woman trapped in a 30-year-old's body!"
Meow! Sounds like Lady Gaga is the least of Christina Aguilera's problems. She seems to have more than enough enemies on the set of her own T.V. show.
Stay tuned.

Asti must spell out that a no vote will close schools
It did not take long for the arrows to arrive after my recent article which questioned what the Asti governing council was at. The vast majority were unsigned letters full of bile, personal abuse and vitriol. The rantings of these cowardly types, all of whom claim to be various different union members, are dispatched to the bin in quick time.

[JURIST] The Chinese Foreign Ministry [official website in English] announced Friday that the Sino-US Joint Liaison Group (JLG) has signed a joint agreement [Foreign Ministry press release in Chinese] at the conclusion of a two-day meeting of US and Chinese delegates in Beijing. During the meeting, the two sides agreed to cooperate and offer mutual legal assistance in the areas of illegal immigration, the extradition of fugitives, intellectual property infringement, anti-narcotics operations, and trans-national crime. The signing of the agreement also resulted in the institutionalization of the JLG and the establishment of regular yearly meetings. The JLG was originally conceived by the Clinton administration in 1998 and is headed by Liu Zhenmin of the Chinese Foreign Ministry and Elizabeth Verville of the US State Department. Xinhua has more.
[JURIST] A military tribunal in Osnabrueck, Germany has sentenced three British soldiers involved in the May 2003 abuse of Iraqi detainees [JURIST Hot Topic archive] at Camp Bread Basket, outside Basra. Cpl. Daniel Kenyon was sentenced to 18 months in prison for aiding and abetting an assault and for failing to report other incidents. Lance Cpl. Mark Cooley was jailed for the maximum two years after posing in a photograph which shows him punching a detainee. Lance Cpl. Darren Larkin, who had pleaded guilty to assault, was jailed for 140 days. All three have also been dismissed from the Army with disgrace, equivalent to a US Army's "dishonorable discharge." The case was decided by Judge Advocate Michael Hunter and a panel of seven senior officers. In concluding the hearing, Hunter told the soldiers that their actions were made by free choice and that they could not expect any leniency. JURIST's Paper Chase has coverage of the trial verdicts [JURIST report]. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Pinellas Circuit Court Judge George Greer ruled Friday to extend the stay on the removal of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube for three more weeks. Greer made his decision after Schiavo's parents, who oppose the removal of the tube, asked the court to allow time for medical tests which might prove that Schiavo's mental capacity is more advanced than currently believed. Terri Schiavo's husband, Michael, still maintains that his wife does not want to be kept alive artificially, and is seeking court permission to remove the tube. AP has more. In a related story, on the same day the stay blocking removal of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was set to expire, an attorney for Schiavo's parents announced Friday that Florida's Department of Children and Families (DCF) [official website] is seeking a new 60-day delay in the removal of the life-sustaining device. The DCF's filing asked the court to delay the stay's expiration in order to allow time for the DCF to properly investigate claims that husband Michael Schiavo abused and neglected his severely brain-damaged wife. AP has more.
[JURIST] The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) [PDF text; WHO backgrounder] will enter into force Sunday, making the provisions of the treaty legally binding on countries that have ratified the convention [FCTC signatory list]. The FCTC, the first international treaty negotiated under the auspices of the World Health Organization [official website], requires its signatories to implement measures ensuring that tobacco packaging has strong health warnings and to establish comprehensive tobacco advertising and sponsorship bans. The WHO has more. The US signed the treaty in 2004, but the Bush administration has not yet forwarded the FCTC to the US Senate for consideration. Two-thirds approval by the Senate is required for US ratification. The American Cancer Society [advocacy website] issued a press release [text] Friday calling on the US to "ratify the convention, implement it, and help low-income nations do the same."
[JURIST] Yukos [corporate website] and its main shareholder Group Menatep [corporate website] said Friday that they would keep fighting against the "Russian Federation's campaign to destroy the company," despite yesterday's US court decision to dismiss Yukos' bid for bankruptcy protection [JURIST report; memorandum opinion text [PDF]]. In Yukos' statement [text], the company said:
We have read the Judge's opinion and it supports YUKOS' position on four of the five issues. The Judge's opinion found in favor of YUKOS on the issues of: Jurisdiction, Forum Non Conveniens, Comity and Act Of State Doctrine. Never-the-less the court dismissed the case under Section 1112 (b) of the Bankruptcy Code.... We have the utmost respect for this Court and have found the experience of participating in a fair, open and unbiased legal process refreshing after nine months of being subjected to politicized and biased Russian courts. We will thoroughly review our options and will take the appropriate actions in due course."
It is not surprising, however, that Judge Letitia Clark referred to the events in Russia as "a confiscation". The world has been saying this for some time and Group MENATEP continues to stress that the actions of the Russian Federation are contrary to Russian and international law. The ruling of the judge appears to support that view.
[JURIST] British Attorney General Lord Goldsmith [official profile] issued a statement Friday denying reports that his 2003 parliamentary answer [text; JURIST report] on the legality of the Iraq invasion had been drawn up in the Prime Minister's office. Earlier this week, British papers reported that the answer, presented to Parliament as Lord Goldsmith's official opinion, was drawn up in No. 10 Downing Street [JURIST report], not the attorney general's chambers. In his Friday statement, Lord Goldsmith said the answer had been prepared in his own office and "I was fully involved throughout the drafting process and personally finalised, and of course approved, the answer." The UK Press Association has more.
[JURIST] In Friday's international brief, the African Union [official website] announced the suspension of Togo's membership in the continental organization following a meeting of the AU Peace and Security Council [official website]. The AU also called for wider sanctions against Togo [government website in French], while endorsing the current sanctions [JURIST report] imposed by the West African regional body ECOWAS [official website]. The controversy is due to the continued occupation of the Togolese presidency by Faure Gnassingbe [BBC News profile], even after the disputed amendments to the nation's constitution were removed. African leaders have called for Faure to step down from the office, while Faure has indicated that he plans to remain as interim president until new elections scheduled to take place in the next two months. Rumors are swirling in the region that Faure is likely to step down in light of the mounting regional and international pressure. JURIST's Paper Chase has continuing coverage [JURIST Countries archive] of Togo. South Africa's Independent Online has local coverage.In other international legal news ...
[JURIST] The UK Parliament Joint Committee on Human Rights [official website] questioned the legality of proposed anti-terror legislation that grants the home secretary power to order house arrests of terror suspects in a report [text] released Friday. The committee's report presents a new challenge for the government, which had hoped to rush the recently announced [JURIST report] legislation through Parliament so it would take effect before the current anti-terror legislation [text] expires on March 14. The committee report expressed concerns over the increased powers of Home Secretary Charles Clarke [official bio] to order detentions, a power that previously required prior judicial authorization. Clarke has said that the law would include an automatic judicial review of any detentions within a week. The proposed law, the Prevention of Terrorism Bill [text], is expected to pass the Commons by Monday. From London, the Times has more.
[JURIST] Leading Friday's corporations and securities law news, US District Judge Sim Lake has ordered the jury selection for the trial of former Enron [corporate website; JURIST Hot Topic] Chairman Ken Lay [Wikipedia profile], ex-CEO Jeff Skilling [Wikipedia profile] and top accountant Rick Causey to begin on Jan. 17, 2006. Judge Lake had been eyeing a summer 2005 start to the trial, but on Thursday pushed it to next year to accommodate the trial schedules of the various attorneys for the defendants. The three defendants are said to be pleased with the start date. Read the indictment [text, PDF] and SEC complaint [text, PDF] against Lay, Skilling, and Causey. The Houston Chronicle has more.In other news...
[JURIST] Citing a Government Accountability Office [official website] study, several lawmakers Thursday called for an end to the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy regarding homosexuals. The report [PDF], released Wednesday, indicated that the policy has hurt recruiting and retainment as the war in Iraq has drained resources. Specifically, the report stated that the Department of Defense [official website] spent more than $191 million to replace over 10,000 service members who had been discharged under the policy. The 12-year-old policy prohibits military officials from inquiring about sexual orientation, but allows discharge of service members if they are discovered to be gay. The Los Angeles Times has more.
[JURIST] The Palestinian parliament overwhelmingly approved Thursday a new Cabinet made up primarily of professionals rather than politicians. Of the 24 members of the Cabinet, 17 are new, marking a departure from the Yasser Arafat [BBC News report] era. The approval came after Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei [BBC News profile] withdrew his initial list of nominees [JURIST report] due to criticism that those on the initial list were not sufficiently reform minded. The New York Times has more.
[JURIST] The US Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals [official website] upheld the constitutionality of Utah's so-called hate-crimes statute. The law, passed in 1992, differs from most other hate-crimes prohibitions because it does not protect an enumerated class of victims. Attempts to broaden the statute's application by specifically identifying classes of victims have repeatedly failed in the Utah legislature. The law was challenged on the grounds that it was overbroad and infringed on protected speech. Read the court's opinion [text]. The Salt Lake Tribune has more.

The Cardio Service Line, Rebooted
Contribution: Mostly positive
For most, the cardio service line remains a leading service line in terms of financial contribution. The mean positive contribution margin reported by respondents is 19%. Nearly half of respondents (45%) expect a minor increase in contribution margins from cardio in the next three years. On top of that, 21% expect a major increase. No wonder 74% of healthcare leaders expect to expand their cardio service lines in the next three years.
While only 1% of respondents expect a major decrease in cardio service line margins, a notable share (11%) expects a minor decrease.
Collaboration and alignment
More attention to collaborative care means more attention to physician alignment. Many provide collaborative care through comanagement programs (31%) or joint ventures (17%), but the fully employed model is used in 33% of cardio service lines. Robertson notes the benefits of the medical staff model for cardiology. "More than ever, we are aligning with medical staff. For the cardio service line, you need cardiologists who are committed to your facility to bring business, ensure quality and service, and manage costs." And today, interventional cardiologists are in demand, especially with more procedures done in an outpatient setting. Nearly one-third of respondents (31%) plan to hire interventional cardiologists to drive business to their cardiology service line. "Interventional cardio is the real driver of reimbursement," Robertson says. "They'll do the procedures like catheters and stents. A noninterventional cardiologist can do a diagnostic catheterization, but they can't do any interventions."
Carol Mascioli, vice president of clinical services at the 680-bed Baptist Hospital in Miami, explains how inclusion helps her organization earn buy-in from a 100% voluntary cardio physician team. Baptist Hospital is developing a protocol for patients arriving at the emergency department with atrial fibrillation. Baptist wants to identify which patients with the condition can be treated or observed in the ED and sent home, instead of being admitted as a matter of course. The effort started with a broad clinical team, including nursing leaders, the ED medical director, the clinical cardiology medical director, the electro physiology medical director, hospitalists, and the anesthesia medical director.

(This is how businesses help support KSBR) CLICK HERE to check out the website for Saddleback College's new OC Rock Radio station. A Little History of KSBR In addition to training
Saddleback's Cinema/TV/Radio students,
KSBR is a community service station focusing its attention on Orange County
news, traffic, weather, and entertainment. KSBR has received the Associated
Press "Instant News" citation, AP's Certificate of Excellence for overall coverage,
and is the only California station to be a 4-time winner of the American Heart
Association's C. Everett Koop, M.D. award.
KSBR's primary format is
contemporary jazz, but it also has weekend specialty shows featuring other musical
styles like reggae, folk, ragtime, rock, Latin jazz, blues, and hip-hop music.
KSBR began broadcasting
in 1975 when the FCC granted an educational license to the Saddleback Community
College District. Originally, the station was located in the Library Building
and operated at a power of 10 watts. Because of the station's low output power,
KSBR covered only a few miles surrounding the campus. Two years later, the district
applied to the FCC requesting that the station be upgraded to a full "Class
A" operation. This became a reality on May 7, 1979 and increased the station's
coverage area to include Orange County and North San Diego County. It began
operation as a National Public Radio affiliate, but five years later, the station
reconfigured its operations to enhance the college's instructional broadcasting
program. In 1990 with the dedication of the new Student Services Building, KSBR
moved into it's current state-of-the-art broadcast facilities.
KSBR has developed a highly
successful music format (contemporary jazz) which has gained the respect and
support of the music industry. The programming elements used by the students
during their air shifts are applicable to a wide range of formats used throughout
commercial radio industry. This has enabled Saddleback College students to attain
professional positions at stations using such diverse formats as country, album
rock, alternative rock, adult contemporary, news/talk, adult alternative, and
In addition to music, KSBR-FM
hosts a highly acclaimed local News Department. The station also carries the
Associated Press (AP) Network News and traffic reports from Airwatch America.
News is broadcast every half-hour in the mornings and hourly throughout the
day. The station also provides candidate forums and election-night coverage
of important county and city races and examines important issues facing county
residents on its weekly public affairs program, Collage. Under the supervision
of a professional news director, the News Department is staffed by students
in the college's Radio/Television News and Public Affairs class. KSBR's operating staff consists
of two full-time college employees (Operations Manager and News Director) and
a combination of 60 students and community volunteers. Through a very successful
underwriting program and annual fund-raiser, KSBR generates the funding necessary
to maintain a "state-of-the-art" broadcast facility featuring the latest in
computer and digital technology.
