Rihanna has been in the news lately and none of it has been good. Womp. First, on Saturday during a concert in Portugal, Rihanna's health struggles came to a head. It's been no secret that she's been battling everything from exhaustion to the flu during this tour. If it was me, I'd take this as a clue that my schedule needs to slow down. Not everyone can have a hectic tour run and perform top notch every night. But, despite doctor's warnings, Rihanna kept pushing through shows.
Then, after way through performing her song What's My Name, RiRi had to rush off stage…to throw up. Yeah. She even went on to Twitter later on, to explain what happened.
"yep! i ran off stage to throw up, halfway thru Whats My Name…made it back juuuust in time for RudeBoy" she tweeted to a fan following the show.
Poor thing. Check out the footage where she runs off stage here. And if that didn't make her feel bad, the people over at Jackie magazine made her feel even worse. While the Dutch magazine was trying to praise her style and give readers tips on how to pull off her look in the cold of winter, they used a "colorful" title. How they didn't know it was offensive, I'll never know. But check out the "slang" and see their apology, after the jump…

A passionate team of people work to save the lives of three Mongolian children with life-threatening heart defects.
Graduating college senior, Cissie Graham Lynch, granddaughter of evangelist Billy Graham, takes on an internship at Samaritan's Purse working with the Children's Heart Project. This project is dedicated to saving the lives of children by providing medical procedures that aren't available in many countries. Cissie is charged with supervising the arrival and surgeries of three Mongolian children suffering from fatal congenital heart defects.
But the task is not easy and filled with unexpected challenges. Cissie balances responsibilities as a newly married wife to a professional football player and her tasks with the internship. Meanwhile the Children's Heart team turns to a Texas family who travels to Mongolia for the adventure of a lifetime to help bring the children to San Antonio for their surgeries. In Texas, two host families make sacrifices to care for these children and their mothers, while a team of doctors and nurses volunteer their time only to stare directly into the face of life and death. How far would you go to save a life?
It's a fight for survival, a fight of faith, and a fight for a new life for these three hearts.
Bonus Features include: trailer, deleted scenes, and video clips about the Children's Heart Project.

1996 Suzuki RM 125 clean w/ title For Sale or Trade for I beams or auto shop stuff
I have for sale or trade a 1996 Suzuki RM 125. The bike is pretty clean and garage kept. I also have a clear Michigan title for it (not for highway use is printed on the title). The bike has about 20 min. run time on a rebuilt engine (new rod with rebuilt crankshaft, new lower engine bearings, piston, etc). It also has a new chain and sprockets. It has a spark arrestor and thumb throttle. I don't ride much anymore and it sits on the bike stand most of the time. I'm asking $1000. Located in Brownstown, MI.
I'm looking to trade for I beams to build a bridge over a creek (20-25 feet long that can support a fair amount of weight, occasional 4,000 lbs and up to 7,000 lbs). I'm also looking for auto shop equipment like a 2 or 4 post hoist, tire balancer, tire machine, heavy duty large air compressor etc. Last edited by speedfreakracing; April 27th, 2013 at 04:38 PM. |

The guy I bought it off of years ago said he raced sno-cross and he used the bike to keep himself fit in the off season which is why it had the thumb throttle. It is a change if you're used to a normal twist throttle.

Netflix set to cruise past HBO in subscribers -- analyst
The relationship between HBO and Netflix has been less than cordial, but now the streaming provider may have a leg up.

HBO and Netflix have butted heads since the latter started up its streaming service. Netflix had hopes of bringing HBO programming to the service, but HBO has balked at such a move, deciding instead to go with its … Read more

Hey guys,
I have this jQuery script 'script.js' that is supposed to select all checkboxes in a form. You can see the page here:
However it doesn't work. There's no errors in the code. It was working locally but when I uploaded the entire site to a new server it broke. I'm assuming it's an issue with the path to script.js because other jQuery elements are broken that use the same script, for example the jQuery slider at the bottom of the page.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. :)

FYI: What Kind Of Dinosaur Meat Would Taste Best?
And what cut would be considered a delicacy?
An ostrich-like dinosaur known as an ornithomimid would probably yield the most consumer-friendly cut of meat, while still maintaining a unique dinosaur taste.
Much of the flavor in a cut of meat comes from its fat composition, and an animal's diet contributes significantly to this. However, due to the average consumer's taste for meat that is not too strong-tasting, it is more important to figure out what we don't want the animals we consume to be eating. Dinosaurs that ate marine animals would definitely be off the list, not only for their fishy flavor, but also because the high amount of oil in fish would make the meat more susceptible to oxidation, which would give it a rancid taste. In fact, any carnivorous dinosaur would not fare too well in the supermarket. Most people prefer meat that comes from herbivorous animals—think cow, deer, bison— since animal fat found in a carnivore's diet adds a significant amount of "gamey" flavor. And some dinosaurs' diets are far too unappetizing to consider.
"When people ask me if a T-Rex would be good, well, I don't think so," David Varricchio, professor of paleontology at Montana State University, says. "They've found jaw abnormalities that suggests they were eating fetid meat and had diseases that came about from prey items. They would be pretty parasite-laden."
Just as important in the search for the best cut of dinosaur meat would be the level and type of activity for which the dinosaur was built.
As for exactly which dinosaur would be most appetizing, one with red meat would have just enough flavor as compared to one with blander white meat. Theories that dinosaurs would have tasted like chicken abound since dinosaurs are so closely related to birds, but for many land-dwelling dinosaurs, beef may be a closer guess. The kind of activity an animal does determines what kind of meat it yields. Red meat is composed of slow-twitch muscle fibers, which are built for sustained periods of activity, so animals that are active for longer amounts of time throughout the day would be composed of mostly red meat. Those who ambush their prey or move quickly for short periods of time would have white meat, which is composed of fast-twitch muscles that allow for quick bursts of activity. So dinosaurs taking part in extended periods of activity would probably have muscles less like a chicken (or even a fast-acting predator like a cheetah) and more like a steady-moving cow.
Ornithomimosaurs were a group of ostrich-like dinosaurs that were part of the suborder Theropoda from which modern birds evolved. They were close enough to birds that they likely had feathers and were warm-blooded, but they were very active animals with large hind legs for prolonged periods of running, so their muscles would probably have been mainly slow-twitch, less like modern birds. Though most theropods were carnivorous, ornithomimids were unique in that they had no teeth, a fact that has led most to believe they ate mostly plant matter.
"About 80 percent of the ornithomimids were hindquarters, and they were really well-suited for running," Varricchio says. "I've also done a little work on their bone histology and it's safe to say they're relatively fast-growing. I think it would be a lean, slightly wild-tasting red meat."
That's not to say other dinosaurs wouldn't make a tasty meal either. Velociraptors, being wild ambush predators, may have had gamier-tasting white meat comparable to a carnivorous bird such as a hawk. Taking into consideration activity level and diet could yield a huge variety of possibilities were dinosaurs ever to roam our pastures and grocery stores.
"You could get into cuts of meat. Armored dinosaurs mainly used their tails for defense, so that would probably be a lot of good white meat. Hadrosaurs were quadrupedal and spent much of their time on the move; I suspect they would be largely red meat," Varricchio says. Sauropods, the largest animals to ever walk the earth, may have made for an interesting meal as well. Their long necks, used to reach high-up food sources, could have resulted in a unique cut of sturdy red meat weighing several tons. Says Varricchio, "Sauropod neck could be a delicacy."

Not sure about your hypothesis regarding the taste of animals.
Animals eating fish are usually tasting good, and have no fishy taste. Fish eating fish taste like ... fish, which is in order of things. But wild ducks or geese are not tasting fish even though they are eating fish. And wild duck tastes way even better than duck from farms (in my taste, anyway).
Also, about predators, I would rather think that our distaste of their meat is due to modern habits and practical aspects. I was raised in a village in Northern Canada and we used to eat lynx meat, which was tasting great. It was part of our local culture to eat it. We never questionned it. Nowadays, people are used to getting meat from the market and the idea of killing it themselve or eating meat from animal that feed on other animals seems a bit disturbing to many. But it is mainly cultural and I don't think our ancestors were that much sensitive to that aspect. Also, I guess, those animals may be a bit tougher to raise in a farm than cattle, chickens or pigs.
As a matter of fact, we are even eating animal that are part time scavengers, like crabs of lobsters and enjoy it as delicacy!
If we were to go back in the past and have to eat dinosaurs, I think the size of the animal to hunt would bother us way more than the taste, since some were kind of big and would be harder to hunt.
Along with the perhaps unsavory, and often unpopular, flavors of meat from carnivores, there could be problems stemming from the diets of herbivorous dinos.
Consider that Koalas, which eat only eucalyptus leaves, are known to exude the odor of eucalyptus oil.
In a similar manner, Diplodicids are believed to have eaten mostly conifer needles. Would people want meat that tastes like pine tar or turpentine?
I hesitate to be contrary and especially hate to blow a nicely-written article out of the water but...
It seems to me the tastiest dinosaur would be one you can actually eat.
That would pretty much limit our choice to the known dinosaurs still remaining, ie: alligators and crocodiles.
Both alligators and crocodiles are carnivores, they both eat fish... and they are both quite tasty. So I apologize, but I believe that kinda blows a hole in the premise of the article large enough to drive a tank through.
Add to this that "tasty" is usually according to the tongue of the taster. Some people like red meat. Some people like white meat. Some people love deer meat, others can't stand it. I think wild squirrel and rabbit is particularly tasty. Others I've spoken to don't like them at all.
So which dinosaur would be the tastiest? I'll go with alligator, which I've eaten twice and enjoyed immensely, thank you very much. : )

Bison Life:
I went to Colombia on a medical missions trip
Published: Monday, September 17, 2012
Updated: Monday, September 17, 2012 14:09
A week before school started, most students were taking advantage of the warm weather, moving into their dorm room, sleeping in or lounging at the lake. Andrea Steele, a senior majoring in nursing, did take advantage of the warm weather, however, she wasn't simply lounging around or sleeping in.
Instead, Andrea spent an entire week in Bogotá, Colombia for an annual medical missions trip organized by Christ Church in Apple Valley, Minn. While she and her medical missions team were there, they were able to minister and help provide medical treatment to roughly 350-400 Colombians.
"I have always had a huge heart for missions, especially medical missions … it is such an open door that we have to reach people with the love of God through providing for their physical needs," Andrea said.
She was able to take the things she has learned so far in the nursing program at NDSU and use them toward helping others that desperately need medical attention. NDSU's nursing program helped Andrea and her team on this medical missions trip not only assist with their health and wellbeing at the time but also the future.
"One thing that NDSU instills in [nursing students] really well is the importance of education, and that is the majority of what were doing down there was patient education," she notes.
While she was there, she spent the entire week "patient triaging," which means she helped admit Colombian patients to visit with their doctor or nurse based on the seriousness of their condition.
"It was quite the experience because I don't speak any Spanish and they don't speak any English," she giggled. "So we had interpreters there to help us out."
Even though the Andrea learned a lot about what it takes to be a nurse, what she learned the most while in Colombia was how to effectively communicate with a language barrier.
"It was hard and really complicated the first day but it got easier as time went on," Andrea recalled. "You want to connect with [the patients] and you want to reach them and show that you care, but I don't speak Spanish so it's hard to convey that."
Andrea also gained experience working with the pharmaceutical end of things that included organizing loads of medications needed during the week. Andrea was also given the opportunity to share the news of God with those in the local community who were receiving medical help from Andrea's team.
"It just kind of opened my eyes to how much people need love. We found that the people didn't necessarily have something wrong with them physically, but they just wanted someone to care about them, to listen to them and to pray with them," Andrea said.
Her team worked with three churches in the Bogotá community as well as another church in a smaller town that is in the process of being built.
Medical professions seem to run in Andrea's family; her aunt is a nurse and is the one who told her about this opportunity in Colombia to minister to not only people's physical but also spiritual needs.
Andrea remembers the exact moment she wanted to become a nurse. "When I was at a summer camp, I really felt God calling me into the ministry and into nursing, so I've just pursued that my whole life," she said.
This opportunity to serve on a medical missions trip in Colombia seemed to be the perfect combination for what she knew she had to do with her life.
"This trip definitely radiated the fact that I will definitely be doing medical missions long term. I want to do that no matter what," Andrea said. "It's just remembering that this is what God has called me to do and this is what I'm going for."
Even though Andrea wants to get a job after she graduates with her nursing degree, she doesn't want to work in a hospital long term.
"I really want to work overseas, and this experience really helped to reiterate that," Andrea said. "It has given me the push that I need to finish school because nursing's hard and demanding, and I sometimes lack that drive on my own."
Andrea realized through her experience in Colombia that even though a person needs their physical needs met, the other needs go deeper than that.
"The people that we were ministering to were completely blown away by the fact that foreigners would reach out to them and provide them with the medical care that they can't afford," she mentioned. "But honestly, you come back more changed than the people you went to reach out to."

Hear me out now before coming unglued.
He is the QB with the most experience against SEC teams. He has beaten SEC team on the road. He is good enough to beat the likes of MSU, Vandy, Arkansas, and Samford.
He does not need to throw the ball 30 times a game to beat those teams. UK should be able to control those games with a good running effort without the need to throw 30 passes a game. Ball control and good defense.
Newton has had one really bad game against Florida and their speed but he won't see that kind of speed against MSU, and the team mentioned above. Newton may be a "bouncer" in horse talk. A horse that is great one race and bad the next. You never know. And he has experience. Smith is out, Whitlow is a freshman and so is Towles. Not looking at playing Newton is playing with fire if one of them gets hurt and can't play.
If the only reason you play Towles is to throw passes then don't you think MSU defense will figure that out and make passing impossible. And then what? You have burned his red shirt and he has lost so what is the point of the exercise.
Lets use the keep Joker logic for Newton. Let him play because he has given a lot to UK and is a senior and is a great guy. If it works for Joker it will work for Newton. And if he losses everyone can say, I told you so but if he might catch lighting in a bottle for that one game and win............................................My Oh My

Guys, I am not saying to start him but to totally leave him out of the QB mix is a mistake. Like I said, if Towles plays thats fine and whenever Smith comes back that is fine to but if history repeats itself as it does at UK, playing Whitlow and Towles as some tamdum QB will get one or the other hurt and then Newton will have to be ready.
Hopefully that never happens but a good coach needs to expect the unexpected at UK

2014 Field School in Subarctic Archaeology: Mead Site
Dates: May 19 to June 21
Mead site is a multicomponent site consisting of at least 4 components dating from 14,000 to 1,400 years ago in deeply buried stratified contexts in the mid Tanana Basin, near Delta Junction, Alaska. This site has received little investigation given its importance in the early prehistory of northwest North America, but initial excavations have yielded lithic tools, organic tools, and faunal remains from multiple components. Along with Broken Mammoth and Swan Point, this is one of the oldest sites in northwest North America, and indeed in the Western Hemisphere. The presence of faunal remains and lithic artifacts within stratified contexts provides an opportunity to document patterning in site use and test hypotheses about technology, subsistence, and settlement of ancient populations in Interior Alaska.

David Koester participates in an Indigenous Mapping Workshop
December 5-8 David Koester participated in an Indigenous Mapping Workshop jointly sponsored by Google Earth Outreach and the University of Arizona through a National Science Foundation grant, Ben Colombi, PI. The workshop brought indigenous students and scholars from Kamchatka, Russia both to learn about creating maps using Google Earth tools and techniques and to work with researchers to plan indigenous mapping projects over the next year.
2014 Symposium on Comparative and Collaborative Studies of Indigenous Cultures along the North Pacific Rim
National Museum of Ethnology, Osaka Japan (12 January 2014)
"Historical Trajectories and Contemporary Issues: Comparative Studies of Kamchatka Peninsula" David Koester (University of Alaska Fairbanks)
Despite differences in culture and language and vast differences in political histories in the 20th century, there are many similarities in the fates of indigenous peoples on both sides of the North Pacific. Some of the similarities are based on parallels in the surrounding environment at corresponding latitudes. Some occurred as a result of political resemblances of 18th to 20th century colonial practices. Others occurred because of shared technological and economic legacies of the industrial revolution. This presentation outlines the history and contemporary position of the peoples of Kamchatka in relation to developments and issues on the eastern side of the North Pacific.
Kara Hoover gives two research talks on human olfactory evolution
Univeristy of Alaska Anchorage and the University of Cincinnatti
My olfactory population genetics research engages with the long-standing assumption that the sense of smell has little to no functional significance in primate (and particularly) human evolution. Yet, there is tremendous genetic, geographic, and cultural variation in olfactory perception. The field of olfactory science is young—the receptors were discovered in 1991—and there are currently few known genotype-phenotype relationships established. Of the ones that are known, most of them are related to diet and food preference. My research on allelic frequency variation OR7D4 serves as the first link between perceptual/cultural and microevolutionary factors shaping the distribution and diversity of human olfactory receptor genes. OR7D4 is an olfactory receptor associated with sex pheromone detection and pig meat preference. I found significant differences in human populations with more variant alleles occurring in Eurasia: 34% of Europeans and 47% of Asians are not sensitive to androstenone. Less sensitivity to androstenone is correlated with increased preference for pig meat. An interpretative narrative to this analysis is the long prehistory of pig hunting and domestication in Asia, where pork is a stock food item today.

The Occupy Movement Is Dead, Long Live the Occupy Movement!
Wednesday, November 20, 2013: 9:15 PM Conference Room 4L (Chicago Hilton)
The Occupy Movement in the United States started as a response to economic policies that exacerbated disparities between social classes. The Occupy Movement was propelled by rational actors who demanded economic equality through a variety of means, most notably the physical occupation of public land. During this, the Occupiers were being portrayed in the media accounts as upper-class urban campers who had a vague notion about what they were protesting. Whereas this might have been an accurate portrayal of some I encountered in my two years as a participant of the Occupy Movement, in reality there were a variety of reasons fellow "campers" shared with me for their participation. In addition to my two years as a participant observer, I conducted semi-structured interviews with ten of the most active occupiers in three different settings (Phoenix, Arizona, Fairbanks, Alaska, and Rochester, New York). This paper explores four facets of the Occupy Movement's inner-workings: 1. The physical layout of the protest sites, 2. The internal economy within the Occupy Movement, 3. The informal political infrastructures within Occupy, and 4. The role social media had in regards to the distribution of information and ideas.

To Speak Or Not to Speak, and Other Existential Questions: Discussions On the Itelmen Language By the Few Who Speak It
Thursday, November 21, 2013: 3:15 PM, Chicago Hilton, 5E
When the number of speakers of a language dwindles and speech events in that language become socially marked occasions, the waning language and even 'language' as an abstract concept can become objects of discussion. At the same time, practitioners of an 'endangered language' can be steadfastly resistant to seeing their means of speaking as 'language', that is, as an abstract system that enables humans to communicate. There are now less than 10 fluent, confident speakers of the Itelmen language of Kamchatka, Russia. In the summer of 2012, the healthy and able among the confident speakers were brought together for eight days of discussions and documentation. This paper examines the metalinguistic and metadiscursive aspects of those discussions. In questions ranging from orthography to linguistic authority to language variation, participants in the workshop expressed a range of views. They mentioned the power of language transmission over time, the nostalgia associated with childhood use of the language and its association with ancestors, the social and personal value of song, the authority of linguists and a series of other revealing pronouncements about the status of 'the language' as fewer and fewer people speak Itelmen.
Robin Shoaps, paper
K'iche' formal pronouns at the crossroads of theological tension, linguistic anxiety and cross-linguistic discursive circulation in Sakapultek evangelical discourse
In the past decade, use of K'iche'-derived formal pronouns (lal/lanh and alaq/laq) has gained traction in the diminishing realm of Sakapultek-language evangelical Christian radio broadcasts and sermons. Formal pronouns, which are not native to the Sakapultek language (Du Bois 1981), have conventionally appeared in traditionalist oratory and prayers directed at Maya deities and in ritualized greetings between married people and their godparents and in-laws. In this paper, I approach the evangelical embrace of lal as a window into contemporary theological, linguistic and ethnic difference which become prominent only in local Maya, not Spanish-language, evangelical prayer. I demonstrate that linguistic ideologies about respect erase the seeming incongruity between Spanish language Christian prayer practices (which involve the informal pronoun in addressing God) and apparently "necessitate" the (clumsy) incorporation of K'iche' formal address forms in Sakapultek. I draw from my research among K'iche' Pentecostals to suggest that increasingly emphatic K'iche' discourses about the importance of lal use in divine address reflect anxiety about linguistic and cultural change, and play into long-standing Sakapultek ideologies of linguistic inferiority. These K'iche' and Sakapultek linguistic ideologies, coupled with increased intercommunity contact between K'iche' and Sakapultek-speaking evangelicals and widespread circulation of K'iche' evangelical discourse have set the scene for Sakapultek evangelicals to adapt formal pronouns in prayer. Lal use has gone hand-in-hand with valorization of a once-despised immigrant K'iche' population and the elevation of a hybrid K'iche'-Sakapultek-Spanish register into a communicative ecology that once condemned salient code-switching.

In 2008 the Second Circuit ruled that Salim could be resentenced according to heightened standards [JURIST report] for acts of terrorism. The government argued that the district court should have imposed a longer sentence according to the enhanced sentencing guidelines for acts of terrorism [US Sentencing Guidelines § 3A1.4, PDF]. The Second Circuit agreed, rejecting the district court's contention that the crime could not be considered terrorism because it did not transcend national boundaries. The appeals court held that the terrorism enhancement does not require transnational conduct, stating that "Congress could have defined 'Federal crime of terrorism' to include a requirement that the offense conduct transcend national boundaries, but it did not." Also in 2008 the Second Circuit upheld [JURIST report] the convictions of three men related to the 1998 embassy attacks.
[W]e, as did the district court, must allow summary judgment for appellees, unless appellants have produced in the record at least enough support for their position to establish "a genuine dispute" as to some material fact from which we could discern that the adoption or implementation of the guidelines by the appellees was "arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law." There is no serious dispute of fact in this case. Appellants advance three arguments for invalidating the NIH guidelines, each of which relies upon a proposition of law.
In August 2010 the DC District Court took up the case on remand from the DC Circuit and issued a preliminary injection [JURIST report] blocking federal funding for the research. On appeal the DC Circuit vacated the injunction [JURIST report] and again remanded to the district court, which granted the summary judgment under appeal in Friday's decision. The NIH controversy arose after President Barack Obama [official website] signed an executive order [text; JURIST report] in 2009 that removed the previous administration's eight-year restriction on federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research. After the preliminary injunction on stem research was granted last year the Obama administration appealed [JURIST report] the injunction, arguing that the ruling was overbroad and endangered an array of research across multiple programs and centers while only serving a very attenuated economic interest of the plaintiffs in the case.
This case raises novel questions about the scope of the government's authority to force the manufacturer of a product to go beyond making purely factual and accurate commercial disclosures and undermine its own economic interest ... in this case, by making "every single pack of cigarettes in the country mini billboard" for the government's anti-smoking message.
In March the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that the graphic cigarette label warnings are constitutional. The court decided unanimously that the portions of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA) [HR 1256 text] designed to limit the tobacco industry's ability to advertise to children, including a ban on distributing clothing and goods with logos or brand names, as well as sponsorship of cultural, athletic and social events requiring cigarette packaging and advertisements, is a valid restriction of commercial speech. Earlier that month, a judge for the US District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the FDA regulation recommending warning labels is unconstitutional [JURIST report], issuing a permanent injunction
Myanmar President Thein Sein [BBC profile] last week announced the creation of a 27-member commission tasked with investigating the cause of the sectarian violence [JURIST report] between Rohingya Muslims and Rakhine Buddhists. Earlier this month HRW accused government forces [JURIST report] of human rights violations following the clashes. Last month spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Melissa Fleming reported that ten UN staff and aid workers had been arrested [JURIST report] in the northwestern Rakhine state and three of them are facing unknown criminal charges. In June HRW had urged [JURIST report] the Chinese government to provide basic food and shelter needs to refugees from Myanmar after finding refugee abuse. Earlier that month HRW also called on [JURIST report] Bangladesh to open its borders to Myanmar refugees a day after it demanded Myanmar ensure the safety of communities in the Arakan State subject to the violence between Arakan Buddhists and ethnic Rohingya Muslims.
Plaintiffs reasonably fear, based upon official communications to them ... from their superiors, past events, and public sources, that if they follow the requirements of federal law, contrary to the "Directive," and arrest an alien or issue an alien an Notice to Appear (NTA) in removal proceedings, they will be disciplined or suffer other adverse employment consequences.
Immigration laws [JURIST backgrounder] have became a hot button issue over the past few years when many states, Arizona being the first, passed laws giving their state and local officials more power to crack down on illegal immigration. On Wednesday a federal judge heard arguments [JURIST report] on whether to uphold a controversial provision of Arizona's immigration law that requires police to check the immigration status of people they stop. The provision was upheld [JURIST report] by the US Supreme Court but only on the grounds that it did not conflict with the federal government's powers regarding illegal immigration. On Monday the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit [official website] partially struck down [JURIST report] Alabama and Georgia's immigration laws, but upheld other provisions. Last week Utah's Attorney General argued that the state's restrictive immigration law should be upheld [JURIST report] in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Arizona v. United States.
In July the US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] announced that it would investigate Pennsylvania's voter ID law [JURIST report]. The American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania [advocacy website] challenged the law [petition for review, PDF; JURIST report] in May, asking a court to block enforcement of the law in the upcoming November elections. The group claims that the new law violates the Pennsylvania Constitution [text] and will prevent eligible voters from casting their votes. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett [official website] signed the bill into law [JURIST report] in March. It was passed earlier that week in the House of Representatives by a vote of 104-88. Supporters of the proposed legislation said that it will combat voter fraud. Unlike the current trend of voter ID laws, Pennsylvania's allows voters to vote without an ID as long as they verify their identity within six days of voting. Absentee ballots will also only require identification by Social Security number. There are now 32 US states [NCSL backgrounder] that require voters to present some form of ID at the polls, but the issue remains controversial.
Apple and Samsung have been embroiled in continuous patent litigation in courts around the world. Earlier this month the US District Court for the Northern District of California [official website] denied a motion by Apple requesting that the court sanction Samsung by ruling in Apple's favor in the ongoing $2.5 billion patent litigation between the two companies there. In July a UK court ruled [JURIST report] that Samsung tablets do not infringe on Apple's design. Earlier in July a federal judge issued an injunction [JURIST report] against Samsung to stop the sale of its Galaxy Nexus smartphone in the US. A week earlier the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit had rejected [Bloomberg report; CAFC notice] Samsung's appeal of the decision that remanded the case to the district court giving Apple another opportunity to ban Samsung's Galaxy products in the states after it partially reversed [JURIST report] the district court's refusal to grant a temporary injunction for Apple against Samsung. Apple's request for a temporary injunction was denied [JURIST report] by the district court in December.
The theft of intellectual property, particularly within the cyber arena, is a growing problem and one that cannot be ignored by the U.S government's law enforcement community. These thefts cost companies millions of dollars and can even inhibit the development and implementation of new ideas and applications. The FBI, in working with its various corporate and government partners, is not only committed to combating such thefts but is well poised to coordinate with the many jurisdictions that are impacted by such activities.
Recently, there has been a surge in government attention to copyright issues. In January US lawmakers decided to postpone [JURIST report] discussion of the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) [text, PDF]. Also in January the Spanish government approved a new law [JURIST report] that creates a government agency with the authority to force Internet service providers to block certain websites that are involved in pirating copyrighted material. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled in November that Internet service providers cannot be required by law to monitor [JURIST report] their customers' activities as an attempt to combat illegal sharing of copyrighted material.
Germany has been slowly expanding its same-sex union rights. This expansion has been largely driven by court rulings. Earlier this month, a German court ruled that homosexual couples in a civil union should receive the same tax benefits [JURIST report] as heterosexual married couples. In 2010 the Federal Constitutional Court ruled that a portion of the tax code requiring gay couples to pay a larger inheritance tax than partners in heterosexual marriages is unconstitutional [JURIST report]. Before the ruling the German tax code required gay couples to pay between 17 and 50 percent for an inheritance tax upon the death of a partner, while heterosexual married partners were required to pay between 7 and 30 percent for the tax. In June of the same year an administrative court in Berlin held that a same-sex marriage performed abroad must be recognized [JURIST report] in a registered partnership in Germany.
Last week an Egyptian lawyer challenged Morsi's self-grant of legislative and executive powers [JURIST report] in a Cairo court. Last month Morsi ordered the release [JURIST report] of 572 people convicted in tribunals by the Egyptian military. Earlier in July, a few days after he was sworn in, Morsi issued a decree [JURIST reports] calling the dissolved Egyptian parliament back into session, despite a previous ruling by the country's Supreme Constitutional Court [official website] dissolving it due to its finding that one-third of its members were elected illegally [JURIST report]. The court suspended Morsi's decree two days later, after which Morsi vowed that he would respect the ruling [JURIST reports]. A court struck down [JURIST report] a government decree in June that restored broad arrest powers to Egyptian military officials. Days before its dissolution, the Egyptian parliament elected a new constitutional council after lawmakers finally reached an agreement [JURIST reports] on the political composition of the council. In April the country's Administrative Court effectively suspended [JURIST report] the work of the 100-member council responsible for drafting the country's new constitution after ruling in favor of a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the formation of the panel.

iPhone shrinkage? 99 dollar iPhone; Hi-res iPhone
What never stops in this constantly spinning world of ours? You would be right if you guessed the Earth – as it always spins, rotates and is doing a crazy somersault around the Milky Way. Other than the Earth however is another constantly moving and evolving ecosystem: electronics. Only 200 years ago, the first computer 'programmes' were being written by a famous poet's only non-bastard child, Ada Lovelace. Back then, computers did not even run on electricity and eagre programmers had to actually study or be rich and educated. Times have changed.
99$ iPhone – Just Nickels and Dimes this time
Soon possibly, you will be able to pocket the iPhone for a mere 99 bones. What will be different? An article by MSNBC claims that a 99$ iPhone will be hitting shelves or presentation booths around June. That is only 4 months away and while we must be excited, let's discuss the issues surrounding the launch of a 'cheap' iPhone.
In case you are wondering, the rumoured 99 Dollar iPhone turns out to be none other than the Previous-Generation iPhone 3G 8GB. Check out the WWDC announcement.
Flash on the iPhone – Flying Pigs Sighed over London
After Steve Jobs's 2007 concession that Adobe's Flash would be too slow on the iPhone and that a lite version wasn't "capable enough to be used with the Web", many potential users and even some Apple zealots were left in the cold. Proper Flash and Java implementations are fundamental building blocks of the internet. Since the launch of the iPhone, rumours and whispers of Flash and Java have tickled the ears of iPhone fans and users. However, only recently have rumours from reputable sources trickled in from blogs and newssites – many of these sites rely heavily on Java and/or Flash interfaces.
Game Price Rises: How High Will You Go? Premium Apps
The App store is a wild success. No one can deny that. With over 15 000 apps, it is proving every major naysayer wrong. However, there are many trends in the store. Everyone is out for a quick buck and with some apps certainly requiring no more than a few hours programming, it is like a crowded lazy person's lottery. In fact I can story this with my own creation, iNails®. It is super top secret — basically you just shake the iPhone near any wall and it will make fingernail-on-chalkboard sounds. Naysayers beware, it will make me a rich man because the market is huge. Idea thieves, beware, this is in before you thought of it!
3rd iPhone Revealed by Apple?
In a recent article, Macrumors.com reavealed that Apple's own iPhone 2.2.1 firmware hosts a juicy morsel: the current iPhone -1,2 will be superceded by iPhone 2,1. While it was bound to happen at some point, this rather well-founded rumour spells some uncertainty especially in the mobile gaming arena.
TMA and other review sites will of course have to get our lovely iPhone 2,1 as soon as it comes out (certainly not soon) but barring massive changes, developers and users too could be forced to use emulation layers or old-style moslo type of software to run our favourites.
This just in: 3G iPhone is the new Mac Mini (sort of)
With Mac Mini rumours continuing to spark flames at a Mac rumour site near you, blosmo.com have thought up a brighter and more eco-friendly desktop computer: the 3G-iPhone-is-the-Mac-Mini concept. It is small, eats fewer calories of hydro than your last desktop and will even fart if you pull its finger. It also features a reduced feature set and footprint but best of all, a built in LCD screen.
Ergonomic decisions aside, it sports a useful magnetic foot and induction technology so that your iPhone can hum along without the need for cables. Traditional keys currently found under the Optimus Maximus Aux keyboard.
iPod 2g: Jailbreak Looming?
Just spotted some good news from the youtube about a pending release from the iPhone Dev Team that implicates everyone's favourite iPod Touch as the target for the next Jailbreak. What does this mean for our sleek excellent sounding pmp? Well, if you like homebrew, alternate video codecs, ports, extra gadgets etc, a jailbraked iPod Touch will certainly be your stew of choice.
iPhone Nano: on Your Wish-list?
Though there is nothing other than a product listing from XSKN, a case manufacturer, the fabled iPhone Nano is burning up the web. As the end of the year approaches so too does the hastening of new product announcements and speculation. Our colleagues at Slide to Play mentioned in a recent article that it would be a "be a logistical and PR nightmare" for Apple to release a product like the iPhone Nano. I think we can all agree that there would be complications to such a product release, but on the flip side, are there no positives?

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Homicides in Kanawha County have had a significant drop, and the county prosecutor credits diligent law enforcement coupled with aggressive prosecution of violent crime.
There have been six homicides this year. Three occurred in February.
Also, in January, Quick resident Lawrence Edward Vaughn, 49, was shot by Kanawha County sheriff's deputies at his home after they responded to a domestic incident.
These numbers are markedly down from last year's total of 19 homicides. And the number has been decreasing. There were 22 in 2009, 23 in 2010 and 19 in 2011.
Kanawha Prosecutor Mark Plants said he's pleased about that.

Advanced Legal Reporting 3
The Program in Law and Journalism has launched a blog, "Legal As She Is Spoke" (LASIS), which at least at the moment is the only online (and perhaps offline) publication devoted to critiquing legal journalism. LASIS will operate as a newsroom, with students responsible for writing for and managing the publication, under the supervision of Professors Zierler and Lieberman. The blog is intended to be active, with multiple stories posted weekly.
Journalism: Legal Reporting I (fall) – A prerequisite for LR II, III, and IV. Students learn the basics of journalism and writing while contributing to LASIS.
Journalism: Legal Reporting II -(spring) Students take on more autonomy, choosing their own story ideas, and working on longer term projects.
Advanced Legal Reporting III (fall) – Students take on staff positions and mentor students in Journalism Legal Reporting I. Contributions in writing also required.
Advanced Legal Reporting IV (spring) – Students take on staff positions and mentor students in Journalism Legal Reporting I. Contributions in writing also required.
Students seeking to graduate as an Associate in Law and Journalism must take all 4 semesters of Journalism Legal Reporting and Advanced Legal Reporting, and electives as set out on the PLJ Website. Graded with letter grade.

More British banking jobs are at risk after UBS said it is to cut up to 10,000 roles worldwide in moves to shrink its investment banking arm.
The Zurich-based bank plans to reduce its headcount from 64,000 to 54,000 by 2015, with some 75% of the losses made outside Switzerland.
UBS, which has around 6,500 staff in London, said the restructuring would deliver savings of 5.4 billion Swiss francs (£3.5 billion) by 2015.
The bank, which wants to shift focus away from investment banking operations, reported a 40% slide in pre-tax operating profits to 2.3 billion Swiss francs (£1.5 billion) in the six months to June 30.
Chief executive Sergio Ermotti announced the plans on Tuesday as part of the Zurich-based bank's third quarter results. Mr Ermotti said the investment unit, which has been hit by a series of costly blunders in recent years, will "continue to be significant global player in its core businesses".
Ahead of the cuts, the value of UBS's stock rose 7.3% to close at 13.12 Swiss francs (£8.73) in Monday on the Zurich exchange.
The bank posted a net profit loss of 2.17 billion Swiss francs (£1.44 billion), compared with a profit of 1.02 billion Swiss francs (£679 million) during the same three-month period through September 2011.
In what it called "a significant acceleration" in its transformation, the Zurich-based bank said it would sharpen its focus on the investment bank and appoint a new executive to lead it.
Mr Ermotti said the investment unit, which has been hit by a series of costly blunders in recent years, will "continue to be a significant global player in its core businesses".
The bank attributed some of the declining profit to a pretax charge of 863 million Swiss francs (£574 million) linked to an accounting rule on how banks must value their debt.

Ryanodine receptor adaptation and Ca2+(-)induced Ca2+ release-dependent Ca2+ oscillations Biophysical Journal, Volume 71, Issue 6, 1 December 1996, Pages 3477-3487 J. Keizer and L. Levine Abstract A simplified mechanism that mimics "adaptation" of the ryanodine receptor (RyR) has been developed and its significance for Ca2+(-)induced Ca2+ release and Ca2+ oscillations investigated. For parameters that reproduce experimental data for the RyR from cardiac cells, adaptation of the RyR in combination with sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase Ca2+ pumps in the internal stores can give rise to either low [Cai2+] steady states or Ca2+ oscillations coexisting with unphysiologically high [Cai2+] steady states. In this closed-cell-type model rapid, adaptation-dependent Ca2+ oscillations occur only in limited ranges of parameters. In the presence of Ca2+ influx and efflux from outside the cell (open-cell model) Ca2+ oscillations occur for a wide range of physiological parameter values and have a period that is determined by the rate of Ca2+ refilling of the stores. Although the rate of adaptation of the RyR has a role in determining the shape and the period of the Ca2+ spike, it is not essential for their existence. This is in marked contrast with what is observed for the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor for which the biphasic activation and inhibition of its activity by Ca2+ are sufficient to produce oscillations. Results for this model are compared with those based on Ca2+(-)induced Ca2+ release alone in the bullfrog sympathetic neuron. This kinetic model should be suitable for analyzing phenomena associated with "Ca2+ sparks," including their merger into Ca2+ waves in cardiac myocytes. Abstract | PDF (1094 kb) |
Measurements of Ca2+ entry and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ content during the cardiac cycle in guinea pig and rat ventricular myocytes Biophysical Journal, Volume 72, Issue 3, 1 March 1997, Pages 1319-1326 C.M. Terracciano and K.T. MacLeod Abstract This study investigates the contribution of Ca2+ entry via sarcolemmal (SL) Ca2+ channels to the Ca2+ transient and its relationship with sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ content during steady-state contraction in guinea pig and rat ventricular myocytes. The action potential clamp technique was used to obtain physiologically relevant changes in membrane potential. A method is shown that allows calculation of Ca2+ entry through the SL Ca2+ channels by measuring Cd(2+)-sensitive current during the whole cardiac cycle. SR Ca2+ content was calculated from caffeine-induced transient inward current. In guinea pig cardiac myocytes stimulated at 0.5 Hz and 0.2 Hz, Ca2+ entry through SL Ca2+ channels during a cardiac cycle was approximately 30% and approximately 50%, respectively, of the SR Ca2+ content. In rat myocytes Ca2+ entry via SL Ca2+ channels at 0.5 Hz was approximately 3.5% of the SR Ca2+ content. In the presence of 500 nM thapsigargin Ca2+ entry via SL Ca2+ channels in guinea pig cardiac cells was 39% greater than in controls, suggesting a larger contribution of this mechanism to the Ca2+ transient when the SR is depleted of Ca2+. These results provide quantitative support to the understanding of the relationship between Ca2+ entry and the SR Ca2+ content and may help to explain differences in the Ca2+ handling observed in different species.

Blockade of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum K+ channel by Ca2+: two-binding-site model of blockade Biophysical Journal, Volume 60, Issue 1, 1 July 1991, Pages 198-203 Q.Y. Liu and H.C. Strauss Abstract Potassium countercurrent through the SR K+ channel plays an important role in Ca2+ release from the SR. To see if Ca2+ regulates the channel, we incorporated canine cardiac SR K+ channel into lipid bilayers. Calcium ions present in either the SR lumenal (trans) or cytoplasmic (cis) side blocked the cardiac SR K+ channel in a voltage-dependent manner. When Ca2+ was present on both sides, however, the block appeared to be voltage independent. A two-binding site model of blockade by an impermeant divalent cation (Ca2+) can explain this apparent contradiction. Estimates of SR Ca2+ concentration suggest that under physiological conditions the cardiac SR K+ channel is partially blocked by Ca2+ ions present in the lumen of the SR. The reduction in lumenal [Ca2+] during Ca2+ release could increase K+ conductance. Abstract | PDF (469 kb) |

A family of novel epithelial Na+ channels (ENaCs) have recently been cloned from several different tissues. Three homologous subunits (alpha, beta, gamma-ENaCs) from the core conductive unit of Na(+)-selective, amiloride-sensitive channels that are found in epithelia. We here report the results of a study assessing the regulation of alpha,beta,gamma-rENaC by Ca2+ in planar lipid bilayers. Buffering of the bilayer bathing solutions to [Ca2+] < 1 nM increased single-channel open probability by fivefold. Further investigation of this phenomenon revealed that Ca2+ ions produced a voltage-dependent block, affecting open probability but not the unitary conductance of ENaC. Imposing a hydrostatic pressure gradient across bilayers containing alpha,beta,gamma-rENaC markedly reduced the sensitivity of these channels to inhibition by [Ca2+]. Conversely, in the nominal absence of Ca2+, the channels lost their sensitivity to mechanical stimulation. These results suggest that the previously observed mechanical activation of ENaCs reflects a release of the channels from block by Ca2+.

Unit Audio Announces the New Unit 16 x 2 Analog Summing Mixer
November 13, 2012
Unit Audio now offers the New Unit 16 x 2 analog summing mixer. The New Unit features 16 channels of actual physical Analog Summing
for less than $300.00. That's less than the cost of plug-ins designed to emulate analog summing. Like all Unit Audio mixers, the "Unit " it is completely hand assembled, tested, and wired point to point in Nashville, TN using only the highest quality components like Neutik connectors and Xicon resistors.
The Unit Audio mixers add back some the sparkle and punch of analog recording that is so often missing in a purely "in the box" mix. Price on the Unit is $299.00 plus shipping. The other mixers in the line start at $149.00 plus shipping, Easy setup makes these mixers the perfect companion to a Digital Audio Workstation. It is available with either TRS or XLR output.
"Is analog summing going to make your recordings sound like a Nashville studio with a billion dollars worth of equipment?" says Unit Audio's Design Engineer Terry, "Probably not, but you will notice a difference in your mixes using a Unit Audio summing mixer."
On the subject of summing, Terry has this to say "Loosely quoting Shakespeare one might say 'To analog sum or not to analog sum?' This has been a point of controversy with digital recording for quite some time. With modern DAW software, mixing within the computer has resulted in some great sounding recordings, but I have long been intrigued by the concept of analog summing. I was not prepared to pay $800.00 or more to test that theory, so I engineered and built my own. Then to test the theory, I set out to see if there was any difference in the mixed sound. Much to my amazement and pleasure, I did notice a subtle but very pleasing difference in the stereo separation and placement of the instruments compared to my In the Box mixes. "
Curious about what an analog summing mixer can do for you? Go to the "Sound Samples" page on our website where can listen to a strictly in the box mix and a mix run through a Unit Audio analog summing mixer.

Established in 1909, the Newark Museum gradually expanded from its two-room origins to the bountiful 80 galleries of today, with a campus comprising a one-room schoolhouse, sculpture garden, and planetarium, in addition to the main museum. Traipse through one of the many ongoing exhibits such as The Glitter and The Gold: Jewelry from the Newark Museum, which displays a glinting anthology of jewelry from the early 1700s to the present, including the "Butterfly Lady" brooch from Newark's historic jewelry industry and a collection of colonial Rolexes. The impressively curated Tibetan Collection brings to life the Himalayan territory through exhibits such as the 15 biographical, narrative paintings of Tsongkhapa–The Life of a Tibetan Visionary, and Pots of Silver and Gold, replete with traditional Tibetan motifs of lotus buds and dragons.
Belly dancer Amira Mor has tapped finger cymbals for Moroccan royalty and shimmied for the prime minister of Jordan. Her moves can be elegant or sensual: she coached Britney Spears through new routines at the Broadway Dance Center in New York City, and has also choreographed for the New York City Ballet. Her moves have also landed her a role Sex and the City 2 and taken her to Guantanamo Bay, where she led belly dance boot camps for U.S. Marines. "From the moment Mor begins her dance," a reporter for the Star-Ledger wrote, "there's no doubt who's in charge.… She wears a fringed bustier spangled with gold, and, for a skirt, slashes of sparkly fabric that whip away from her body as she spins, which she does in a blur of speed.…"
At Amira Mor International Entertainment Company, anyone interested in belly dancing can benefit from the award-winning dancer's instruction. With the help of fellow dance instructor Stephanie, she teaches groups some traditional Middle Eastern moves, drawing on modern innovations including flashy hip movements and songs about fax machines. Additionally, Amira is a certified fitness instructor, so she can also help students on quests for sculpted abs.
LiloVeve—a composite of the words "live" and "love"—is part gallery, part wedding-band boutique, and part jewelry-making school. First came the gallery. Caroline Glemann founded it to showcase a range of art that includes paintings, photos, and a permanent jewelry collection. Jewelry-making students take classes and workshops to pick up skills in metalwork, wax carving, and gold alloying. They can even learn about design from an industry perspective, or prep for the SAT's recently added fashion section. Handmade rings adorn betrothed digits after LiloVeve craftspeople lovingly solder, saw, and pierce each sparkling circle.
