Anyway to hide or disable the 'edit' and 'delete' buttons on forum posts?
Hi guys,
My site is financial based and has to abide by governing rules set by the Financial Authorities. Therefore when someone posts a forum post it has to be uneditable and undeletable by the member who posted it as it. An admin can edit it or delete it but not the member. Is there anyway to hide the buttons from the member or disable them altogether?

Marquette engineering team in final 4
On March 30, a Marquette University biomedical engineering senior design team members Ellen Hawkinson, Katelynn Kramer, Brian Laning, Sarah Schmiedel and Andrew Weingart competed in the Rice University 360° Global Health Design competition. Thirty-eight teams from around the country vied for a chance to compete and 26 teams were asked to present on the day of the competition including our team from Marquette. Teams presented their work on an engineering solution to a global health problem.
Marquette's team presented the Human Powered Nebulizer (HPN). The HPN project has been developed by many great senior design teams for about 8 years. It is a device that needs no electricity but can provide respiratory care for people suffering from COPD, asthma, tuberculosis and lower respiratory infections. Hundreds of millions of people suffer from these diseases with many living in places without electricity. Millions die from not having access to respiratory treatments for these conditions, emphasizing the importance of the HPN.
Of the 26 presenting teams, four finalists were selected by a panel of expert judges from around the world. Finalist teams were from Marquette, Rice University, Johns Hopkins University and Columbia University. After a second round of presentations and judging, Marquette's team finished in second place behind members from Rice.
"I am so very proud of this group of excellent engineers. They have put so much hard work into this project and to be recognized, I hope, is very rewarding for them. I also think it was a great experience for them to learn about other global health technology projects," said Dr. Lars Olson, associate professor of biomedical engineering and advisor to the team.
Team members: Andrew Weingert, Sarah Schmiedel, Ellen Hawkinson, and Katelynn Kramer
ASME Student Design Competition
A team of 13 undergraduates (see banner photo) traveled to the University of Missouri at Columbia to attend the ASME Student Professional Development Conference and to compete in the Student Design Competition. Providing transportation energy is a major piece of the overall energy challenge nationwide and the world, and is the focus of the 2012 Student Design Competition.
The competition project is to design four self-propelled devices which can collectively complete a relay race in the shortest period of time. Each device must contain an on-board energy source and trigger the motion on the next device.
The four energy forms that the team chose are; electrical energy – modified remote control car; potential energy – modified mousetrap car; custom battery powered capacitor car; and rapid prototyped compressed air car.
The Marquette ASME team placed third out of 30 university teams. They received $150 in prize money and a certificate for placing in the competition. Dr. Kyle Kim, professor and chair of mechanical engineering, was the project advisor. This project is part of the student-centered learning initiatives program.

Nearly 500 participate in scholarship competition
In late February the College of Engineering hosted the annual Engineering Scholarship Competition and Open House for prospective students admitted for fall 2012.
The weekend began Friday evening with a fish fry dinner for parents in the AMU, while students enjoyed casino night across the street in Engineering Hall. The next morning 480 students from 25 states nationwide took the scholarship exam competing for 12 engineering scholarships. The Open House was the first held in the new Engineering Hall and attractedmore than 1,200 visitors who also toured labs and classrooms Olin Engineering Center and Haggerty Hall.
2012 Alumni National Awards Weekend
Each April, the Marquette University Alumni Association honors alumni and friends who are making a difference in their communities and beyond.
Five engineering alumni will be among the 50 alumni honored during the Alumni National Awards Weekend, April 26-28. Dr. Erik M. Pell, Eng '44, Distinguished Alumnus of the Year Award; William J. Krueger, Eng '87, Professional Achievement Award; Michael J. Nigro, Eng '83, Entrepreneurial Award; Robert P. Fettig, Eng '68, Service Award; and Denise Demarais Zarins, Eng '93, Grad '95, Young Alumna of the Year Award.
Congratulations to all.
Beardsley Way Klingler award winner
Dr. Scott Beardsley, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, is a 2012 recipient of a Way Klingler Young Scholars Award. These awards support promising young scholars in critical stages of their careers. The awards of up to $32,000 are intended to fund $2,000 in operating costs and to cover up to 50 percent of salary to afford the recipient a one-semester sabbatical.
Beardsley uses a combined experimental and computational modeling approach to identify and quantify deficits in MS patients' sensorimotor control of their arm movements. He assesses patients' fine motor functions through a variety of clinical tests and electronic drawing exercises, and then uses robotics to measure their corrective movements as they perform specific motor tasks. This data is then plugged into a computational model to determine how MS impacts patients' sensory and motor processing compared to neurologically intact subjects. Plans for his sabbatical include gaining clinical experience and categorizing sources of motor impairment in MS patients.

Zitomer and Water Quality Center assist MMSD
Dan Zitomer, professor and director of the Water Quality Center in the College of Engineering, is assisting the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) in identifying which industrial wastes would boost methane production more than others to help dispose of liquid wastes that have high concentrations of sugar, starch or protein.
Ethanol producers, cola bottlers, cheese factories and food flavoring makers outside the Milwaukee metropolitan area will be getting an unexpected call. MMSD wants to help them dispose of liquid wastes that have high concentrations of sugar, starch or protein. What's in it for MMSD besides a little extra revenue from disposal fees? More methane.
Some of the biogas, as it is called, already is burned to generate electricity - and lessen dependence on energy from coal and natural gas - at the district's South Shore sewage treatment plant in Oak Creek, Wis. Biogas also is burned in boilers for heating buildings there.

H.S. girls fencing: Sport takes a hold of Pompton Lakes senior
Emily Schaper never even had seen a fencing strip when she started high school in the fall of 2009. Now, just a little more than three years later, Schaper is one of the top epee specialists in North Jersey.
The Pompton Lakes senior is off to a 12-0 start in dual-meet competition, and she went 11-4 at Sunday's Santelli tournament — the preeminent early-season fencing event in the state. Not too bad for someone whose primary athletic interest always has been on the diamond.
"I was more of a softball player, and that's the one sport I had concentrated my energies on since maybe first or second grade," said Schaper. "But then my freshman year a bunch of us just decided to try fencing, [as] more of as a way to stay in shape and exercise when it came time for the spring.
"But I've gradually improved to the point where fencing is a winter highlight; I really love competing."
Along with Krystle Lesko, Kelsey Oeler, Julia Philipson and Sophia Novak, Schaper decided to make a commitment to the sport that features saber, foil and epee weapons. And she feels the rewards, including the Cardinals getting off to a 3-1 start and the individual accomplishments of her teammates, have been well worth the time in practices and preseason workouts.
"It's exciting when I find a way to make a technical adjustment and an improvement here or there with my distance and blade control," said the 5-foot-9 Schaper. "We have really come together as a team unit, and that's a big part of what makes fencing such a special experience: the bonding of all the girls is a big piece of it, too."
Besides her success with the sword, Schaper also was the captain of the Pompton Lakes color guard and has made an impact offensively and defensively for the softball team. Pompton Lakes went 13-8 last year and advanced to the Passaic County tournament semifinals.
Schaper played left and right field last season and may see time in the outfield and behind the plate this season. A second-team NJIC Colonial B Division choice, Schaper gave Pompton Lakes some pop in the bottom third of the batting order.
"Emily is very quick and her technique in counterattacking is a major reason why she has developed into a top-tier fencer," said Pompton Lakes coach Paul Smith, who also is an assistant in softball. "In addition, she is a reliable clutch hitter and is dependable with the glove."
Schaper plans to play softball at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, R.I., where she will major in baking and pastry arts with a minor in restaurant and hotel management.
"I've always loved decorating and arranging, especially cakes, and shows like 'Cupcake Wars' and 'Ace of Cakes' on the Food Network have really inspired me."
First, though, Schaper will look to finish her fencing career in style. She took third at the Passaic County tournament in 2012 and figures to have a shot at gold this year.

Think about this:
1. If you don't do anything else, crop the top all the way down to eliminate the "Welcome To." That maintains the context and tightens up the overall shot. It also gets rid of all the distracting arch stuff. Immediately looks better to me.
2. You might add some dimension by darkening the background. You can take down the overall exposure a good bit. That will darken up those distracting window areas and it will recover some of the highlights in the people faces and light clothing. Then up the light in tone adjustments and take down the dark or shadows even more as needed. The challenge here will be to maintain detail in the black faces; that's always hard when dealing with blacks and whites.
Overall, a good shot. The only people problem is the dummy looking at his shoes -- but there will always be one and he'll live with his mistake every time he looks at this picture.

A look back at 40 years of Eurocamp
Eurocamp was founded way back in 1973 when Alan Goulding took the first wave of holidaymakers looking for freedom and laidback adventures to Brittany in France.
Eurocamp was founded way back in 1973 when Alan Goulding took the first wave of holidaymakers looking for freedom and laidback adventures to Brittany in France.
Throughout the 1980s, even more liberation-seekers wanted to experience holidays in France and interest in the type of holidays we offer grew. Bookings with Eurocamp soared; we added a wider variety of locations to our list and introduced mobile homes to our range of accommodation for the very first time. These innovative moves helped to expand the UK market to France and secure our place as the market leader of camping holidays.
During this time we experienced some changes on the business side of things, too. In 1981 we were bought by London-based retail group Combined English Stores plc, and began absorbing smaller competitors into the business until we were ready to float on the stock market in 1991.
Since then, we've continued to grow as a business and we're now part of a wider education, leisure and activity travel group owned by Cox & Kings, one of the oldest and most recognised travel operators in the world. Although we travel all across Europe, we call Hartford in Cheshire our home.
In the early 1990s, Eurocamp and Keycamp became sister companies. Both brands had the same values at their core; offering great-value family holidays to amazing locations throughout Europe, ranging from rustic campsites to stylish resorts. In 2013, we decided to unite with Keycamp and launch as a single company to offer a more liberated holiday experience than ever before. This includes a wider choice of locations, brand new outdoor accommodation and even new styles of holiday like Eurocamp Active.

Novus's Commitment to Quality and Scientific Excellence is the Key to its Success and Longevity
ST. LOUIS, June 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Novus International is proud to observe the 10th year of its highly-effective chelated trace mineral product, MINTREX®. Novus's leadership position in the trace minerals market has been propelled by nutritionists' and producers' trust in the MINTREX molecule for the past decade. The MINTREX molecule truly embodies Novus's commitment to delivering and supporting innovative products, through science, that support animal health and performance.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140619/119530)
"Novus is rooted in scientific excellence and our confidence in the power of science led us to MINTREX," notes Chris Knight, Senior Vice President, Research & Product Development. "We knew that MINTREX was unlike any mineral product that had come before. Its unique combination of our methionine source, ALIMET® feed supplement, with an essential trace mineral in a two-to-one chelated molecule makes this Novus-borne mineral more resistant to antagonists in the diet. This allows it to be more efficiently absorbed once it's delivered to the small intestine, making it highly bioavailable to the animal."
MINTREX is the cornerstone of the Novus line of organic trace minerals. To meet the needs of each individual operation, MINTREX Zn, MINTREX Cu, MINTREX Mn, as well as premium blends are available around the world.
"For the past decade we have focused on delivering premium minerals solutions that address our customers' unique production challenges," stated Gavin Bowman, Mineral Product Manager. "MINTREX is the mark by which other products are measured when it comes to chelation. Providing quality mineral solutions to our customers is of the utmost importance. This starts with selecting high quality raw materials. We use a stringent screening process to select our suppliers as well as strictly examine every single batch of raw materials and the finished product to ensure there aren't any undesirable contaminants present. The result is a mineral product that consistently meets Novus quality standards."
The same quality commitment used to procure the best raw materials extends through the entire MINTREX production process. Strictly controlled processes, automated systems and Novus's state of the art production facility assure consistent production parameters for each batch manufactured. These systems are developed by qualified Novus chemists and audited by Novus quality assurance personnel to maintain a safe manufacturing environment operated to best in class quality standards.
"Sustainability is a priority for Novus and is always top-of-mind in everything we do," explains Bowman. "MINTREX is exceptional in its ability to optimize nutrition and enhance animal health and performance as well as its ability to positively impact the environment. MINTREX is absorbed and used by the animal to a much greater degree than other trace mineral supplements. This maintains production efficiency with lower mineral inclusions, resulting in fewer minerals excreted."
MINTREX is such a novel product that it received its own official ingredient definition by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). The product also received the Frost & Sullivan 2012 North American Animal Feed Ingredients Product Differentiation Excellence Award. To learn more about MINTREX as well as Novus's other minerals solutions, visit the company's corporate web site at www.novusint.com.

A global leader in developing animal health and nutrition solutions, Novus's products include ALIMET® and MHA® feed supplements, ACTIVATE® nutritional feed acid, ACIDOMIX® preservative premixture, CIBENZA® feed additive, MINTREX® chelated trace mineral, SANTOQUIN® feed preservative, MERA™Met aquaculture feed additive, AGRADO® feed antioxidant and many other specialty ingredients.

La presión sobre la tierra en el planeta nos lleva a personas que "sobran", bienes biológicos que "sobran" y grandes empresas que manipulan a los Estado como quieren…
We were asked to address the question "For the collaborative online platforms you have used, what have been the advantages and drawbacks? What suggestions do you have to improve them?" I think my most recent experience in this very online discussion is illustrative of the need for a new design in online platforms.
Thanks for your Land Portal March Newsletter. It was there that I learnt a paper 'Connecting people, sharing knowledge, increasing transparency' had been finalized.
We were asked to address the question "For the collaborative online platforms you have used, what have been the advantages and drawbacks? What suggestions do you have to improve them?" I think my most recent experience in this very online discussion is illustrative of the need for a new design in online platforms.
I hope my further feedback might help advance the cause of empowering people by "Sharing information and fostering dialogue".
My comment before the final paper was "Turning conversation into action then depends on 'leadership'" was not at all meant to uphold leadership, but, as might now be seen by reviewing the context, to decry that dependency, to point out that it is built into existing online platforms like this one, and that it is actually disempowering for all but leaders – not at all good for women or any other oppressed landless people.
However, in the final paper, my input has become "with reasonable expectations about the degree to which online dialogue can add new insights to a policy process, and a recognition that 'turning conversation into action depends on leadership' (LP Dialogue, 2013) it can play a part of government strategies to consult and engage in relation to land governance." http://landportal.info/sites/default/files/wb_landportal_final_paper.pdf
It was largely my own failure to communicate my point, but just as I don't blame anybody else for this outcome, I don't blame myself either. The platform itself played the most important part in this, and the purpose of this conversation is understanding the nature of an online platform and how they do or don't work, right?
So let's look at the way the online platform worked here – or rather didn't work.
As I said, I learned of the finalized paper in the Newsletter, not from any inbuilt notification function on the platform. This points to one programming defect which could be solved with inbuilt auto notifications.
Half way through the conversation process, apparently on her own good initiative, Sabine gave some early feed back with a synthesis of contributions to date. That gave opportunity for further comment or clarifications – but it was at her initiative.
Even if a synthesis was part of some internal policy or process, it was not built in to the platform itself. It should be, and that could be addressed by a programming function.
There was no subsequent synthesis before the final paper was posted. The reason such exclusion of contributors could happen is that the online discussion platform is of a design that doesn't protect against something so disempowering happening. In fact it actually requires that at some point, some individual has to end the conversation and then present their own interpretation to their own leader, and so on up the chain until all but one are disempowered - the World Bank perhaps which asked for (and gets) submissions from left right and centre. Keeping all participants engaged, including eventually the world bank is a programming issue that could be addressed.
Now some will say that unless someone takes the lead and decides when to conclude a conversation and to compose a plan, nothing will ever happen – or it will take so long to agree that it will frustrate everybody. But such a response is defensive of the status quo rather than being open to the idea of a platform design that would address the problems that I hope are evident. Moving the conversation along, keeping it on track towards an action or outcome within a timeframe can all be dealt with by programming rather than by the appointment of or submission to a leader.
The first step towards a better platform is to take on board such clear problems of existing platforms.
I would like to keep you posted on the progress of my own effort at a better platform for discussion, collaboration and action, but clearly recognising the dynamics is key to understanding the essential online design features.

United Social Welfare Society (USWS) is a local NGO established in a small village Chak # 74/A Feroza Tehsil Khan Purr District Rahim Yar Khan (RYK)- Punjab.

USWS has now established strong roots in the community and has created a culture of participatory development among its target communities. To reduce poverty, injustice and miseries of the marginalized communities in its target areas, USWS is focusing on livelihood, WatSan, Health, Human & Institutional Development, Education, Women Empowerment and Disaster Management.

• In all our interactions we strive for transparency, responsible use of financial resources, fairness, accountability and integrity.
• We strive for excellence, while being creative, bold and courageous.
6.1. Livelihoods Program
Majority of the communities in RYK district attribute their problems to lack of livelihood opportunities. The main sources of livelihoods of the communities are agriculture and livestock especially among womenfolk. People lack skills in natural resource management, agriculture and small enterprises. They also lack access to required investment to start and manage small scale enterprises through manipulating natural resources and enterprises at community level and are unable to earn enough living. It has resulted in poverty that affects their capacity to address issues relate to health, education, economic development and human rights discrimination. The 2010 floods further exacerbated the state of natural environment and resources in these areas by damaging irrigation channels, water harvesting and conservation methods at the village level.
6.2. Water and Sanitation (WatSan) Program
Majority of the rural areas in RYK district have no access to clean and safe drinking water. The communities mostly use unprotected dug wells at the household level. The communities complain about poor water quality (in terms of taste) and insufficient quantity of water presently available to them.
Only few families use pour flush latrines with septic tanks in their homes. Due to non-availability of latrine facilities, the male members are compelled to practice open defecation, whereas females and children use existing household premises for open defecation. Personal and environmental hygiene conditions in the areas are found in poor shape. Most of the people have very few means to take care of their personal and environmental hygiene because they use unprotected water for drinking. Communities do not have adequate knowledge about health and hygiene issues and complain about stomach and skin diseases.
6.3. Health Program
Lack of awareness about hygiene and sanitation practices, and preventable diseases in the target areas have resulted in spread of hepatitis A, scabies, diarrhea, malaria, and cholera. Communities are unable to manage these health problems due to lack of knowledge about the causes of these diseases and access to appropriate health services. There is also scarcity of health care professionals, such as TBAs (Traditional Birth Attendants), LHVs (Lady Health Visitors), LHWs (Lady Health Workers), Doctors and nurses in the rural areas to deal with health problems related to women health and maternal and child mortality issues. There is great need to increase focus on programs such as mother and child health (MCH), and to prevent spread of communicable diseases like scabies, diarrhea, malaria, cholera and hepatitis A. Since many males from these areas work in Middle East countries as laborers therefore few cases related to hepatitis B, C and HIV/AIDS have been reported.
6.4. Human and Institutional Development Program
RYK district has quite a number of small CBOs, and NGOs active in the rural areas for last two decades to help poor communities. Due to lack of skills and capacity to manage development projects effectively and professionally, they cannot raise required financial resources for long-term development in this area. As a result, they have not been able to sustain their organizations and projects. There is greater need to build institutional capacity of these small CBOs and NGOs and their staff so that they access resource available under local government development programs and from INGOs.
6.5. Education Program
Access to educational facilities in the rural areas is limited in RYK district. There are very few public and private sector schools in the settled villages and the city center. Moreover, it is difficult for children of many poor communities to access education from these schools because they do not have adequate means of transportation while living in difficult hilly areas. Girls in particular have to discontinue education after primary level education because their parents cannot afford to send their daughter to high schools near urban areas due to security reason. Likewise, lack of public transport in the hilly terrains coupled with excessive expenditure on transport fares forces parents with low economic status to keep their children out of schools.
6.6. Women Empowerment Program
Women contribute a lot in diversified livelihoods activities but they are often not allowed or encouraged to participate in decision-making processes and to manage financial resources. The relegation of females to only being implementers and restricting their initiative taking abilities, not only limit their productivity in the family but in the community as a whole. Violence against women is observed especially in the rural areas. Unless women are provided equal opportunities in education and other development interventions such as health, livelihoods, water and sanitation it is difficult to further the agenda of sustainable development in this area.
6.7. Disaster Management Program
USWS's community development interventions in RYK district are compromised due to frequent disasters such as floods, heavy rains. Because of these disasters, they loose livelihoods sources, which are based on agriculture, livestock and poultry. Likewise, it also affects infrastructure, irrigation, drinking water and sanitation systems. Despite occurrence of frequent disasters in NWFP including RYK district, communities have no knowledge about disaster preparedness and mitigation. There have been no concrete efforts made to build capacity of communities to manage effects of disasters. The rescue, relief and rehabilitation operations are the only efforts made by public and private sector during and after disaster. The importance of these efforts can never be under-estimated but there is a great need to consider capacity-building needs of the local communities to mitigate impacts of the future disasters to prevent loss of precious human lives, livestock, and family and community assets. These losses can be averted if sound preparedness and efforts for disaster mitigation are taken. USWS believes that disaster management is a cross cutting area and it should be in-built in all development projects undertaken by local the local CBOs and NGOs working in this area.
The organization is governed by its board of directors consisting of 7 members, who make the policies and set the goals and targets of the organization. The board has engaged highly devoted and professional staff to carry out the activities undertaken by the organization.
USWS has its written policies and procedures to operate its Administration, Financial and Program departments. The Board of Directors is responsible to ensure that the organization exercises its values in all its planned projects to meet the objectives
USWS has two major departments to manage its program and operations.
8.1. Program Department
The projects and programs are implemented through Program Department. The department is responsible for proposal developments, reports, policy & programming, monitoring & evaluation of projects, liaison with donors and line departments, field operations, and capacity building of different projects' stakeholders. The department works every professionally to manage the quality of services and programs.
8.2. Operations Department
Operations is responsible for financial records, physical control over assets and records; independent checks on financial and non financial activities; proper authorization of transaction and activities; and administrative affairs, human resources management and procurement. The department ensures financial and administrative systems are maintained and internal control systems are in compliance with improvement of established policies and procedures. The department works through its trained and highly professional staff.
USWS ensures social inclusion of socially and economically vulnerable communities and groups. USWS believes in participation and activism of children, youth, women, disabled population and minorities to realize their potential and need to develop and help eradicate injustice and poverty. USWS ensures capacity building of the beneficiaries for sustainability of the projects and building up structures and capacities of local communities to cope with the problems caused by injustice, poverty and disasters.
The sustainability question is of prime concern for USWS. USWS has been working on an approach of optimum utilization of local resources. USWS has always focused on building the capacity of these communities to take charge of handling these programs through their own resources. The CBOs formed under USWS's network are maintaining their own savings and through further strengthening will soon be in a position to operate individual revolving funds of the credit component.
USWS applies following strategies to raise its funds.
Membership fee
Sale of printed material
Community based development funds
Donors support (Local)
Donors support (International)

Of particular concern is that apparently one of the obstacles to reaching a consensus was that some governments want to safeguard "traditional values at the expense of human rights and fundamental freedoms of women. As many of us know "traditional values" are often used as an argument against equal rights for women, and traditional values can severaly discriminate against women.
As the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions clearly states: "'No one may invoke the provisions of this Convention in order to infringe human rights and fundamental freedoms as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or guaranteed by international law, or to limit the scope thereof (Principle 1)" http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0014/001429/142919e.pdf
Please see the page of the Asia-Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development for a statement by feminist and women's organisations on the failure of the CSW to come to agreed conclusions:

The Washington State women's basketball team travel north to take on Gonzaga Saturday in a battle for Inland Empire supremacy.
The rivalry game tips off at 2 p.m. from the McCarthey Athletic Center in Spokane and will be televised live on SWX.
The Cougars (3-7) look to get back in the win column for the first time since knocking off then-20th-ranked Ohio State in Pullman on Dec. 15. It won't be an easy challenge, however, as Gonzaga sports a 10-3 record and is receiving votes in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
Washington State leads the all-time series 17-6 but have dropped the past four meetings, including last year's 71-69 contest.

The lawyers representing the players' trade association in the 'Tom Brady vs. NFL' lawsuit spent four hours meeting with Judge Arthur Boylan on Tuesday in Minneapolis, two days before they reunite with the owners in negotiations mediated by Boylan.
According to NFL Network's Albert Breer, the Brady class counsel declined comment. The Eller class counsel, representing retired players in the combined case against the NFL, met with Boylan after the players' representatives.
Michael Hausfield, the lead attorney for Eller, told Breer, "It was a very constructive season" and that Boylan was "very open."
Boylan will meet with the owners' representatives on Wednesday before bringing the two sides together for mediation on Thursday morning. Judge Susan Nelson ordered the mediation to occur with Boylan while she considers the injunction of the NFL lockout.

Two goals in a minute for redshirt freshman Darian Powell gave Marquette a 3-0 victory in its season opener.
Marquette announced Monday that Wally Mason, who's led the Haggerty Museum of Art for seven years, will be leaving the university this fall.
Todd Mayo leaves Marquette with a bad track record and plenty of what-ifs.
Marquette's Team MU-L8 of the Humanoid Engineering and Intelligent Robotics Lab returned from RoboCup 2014, an annual event that brings together groups from around the world to share knowledge of humanoid robotics with a robotic soccer tournament.
Senior guard Todd Mayo will forgo his final season at Marquette, the university confirmed Wednesday, and he will reportedly pursue a professional career either in the NBA Development League or overseas.
Results from a Marquette University Law Poll released Wednesday showed a tight gubernatorial race, leading Charles Franklin, director of the poll and professor of law and public policy, to call it a dead heat.

The Richmond School Board is now scrambling to come up with $1 million after a cost cutting plan fell through. Board members voted in the 11th hour of Monday night's meeting not to close two schools originally on the chopping block.
Parents say they're glad their kids will still be able to go to Clark Springs Elementary school; however, school board members will still have to find the money they would have saved by closing it down.
Michelle Goodnight simply wants the best for her daughter who will attend Clark Springs when she's old enough.
"I think it's a good idea to keep it open," said Goodnight. "I didn't want them to close it down. My brother is doing well at the school. It's a good school for all the kids and their environment."
School board members voted five to four in favor of not closing Clark Springs and the Adult Career Development Center - this is the place all drop outs will go to get re-established into Richmond Public Schools. School Board Chair Jeff Bourne knows the board must cut costs elsewhere. Right now, it's simply too early to say if students or teachers will feel the impact.
"Well I think that's always a possibility when historically you look at the amount of money Richmond Public Schools has had to cut in the last several years just like all local governments have, " said Bourne. "Our goal was to keep the classroom harmless and that will still be our goal. It will just be a little tougher this time."
It's difficult especially when the school has already trimmed administrative positions and education programs. The motion to keep both schools open erupted at the last minute Monday night. Some members said they needed more time to digest the issue, but board member Glen Sturtevant says the rezoning committee spent roughly a year looking at closing schools and the current board already spent months studying the issue.
"Now, if we've got to go back and find $1 million, my concern is that being forced to do that may have a negative impact on classrooms and for me that's unacceptable," said Sturtevant.
The board initially talked about closing schools because there aren't enough students to fill them. Most of buildings are at least 50 years old and simply too expensive to maintain.
School Board Members are going to discuss how they're going to come up with the money at their next work session Monday April, 29.

Baseball Hosts Belmont for Three Game Series
FORT MYERS, Fla., The A-Sun leading FGCU baseball team hosts Belmont for a three-game series beginning tomorrow at 4:00 pm at Swanson Stadium. The Eagles bring a five-game winning streak and 23-7 overall and 13-2 in league play. The Bruins are 8-18 overall and 5-10 in the A-Sun after dropping seven in a row.
The Eagles boast the top pitching staff in the conference with a collective ERA of 2.87. Richard Bleier and Pete Woodworth anchor the staff. Bleier has been nothing short of dominant in his junior season. The lefty has tossed 44.0 innings and has a league leading 1.43 ERA to go with a perfect 5-0 record. Woodworth has been equally impressive, posting a 4-1 mark overall in 42.2 innings of work. The sophomore brings in a 3.16 ERA while opponents are hitting just .232 with 37 strikeouts. Bleier is expected to start game one tomorrow while Woodworth will throw the second game. Freshman Richie Erath (2-0, 1.02 ERA) is expected to start the final game of the series.
In this first season in Division I, the FGCU offense has been just as productive as the pitching staff. The Eagles are batting .323 and are led by player of the year favorite Jason Peacock. The senior first baseman is the reining player of the week and is batting .477 with 33 RBI. Peacock ranks among the league leaders in nearly every category. Against conference opponents Peacock is hitting .560 and has a slugging percentage of .780. Four of the top eight batters in conference only games are Eagles. Josh Upchurch, Ozzie Borrell and Stephen Rassel are all hitting over .400 against A-Sun pitching.
Belmont lost four starters and 11 players from last season's A-Sun runner up. The Bruins are led by one of the top dual threats in the league, Carlo Testa. Testa leads the team in innings pitched, strikeouts and wins while also batting .415 with 19 stolen bases. The Bruins also are expected to start Brian Kelley and Josh Moffitt during the weekend.
The series begins tomorrow at 4:00 pm with a doubleheader at Swanson Stadium. The series finale can be seen live on ASun.TV.

It wasn't that much - only about 3 or 4 metres, or one window bay. You can see it here in this pre-'22 pic (below). Now the wings are flush with the arcade screen. They also had valley roofs, closed in at the front, giving them a more blockish and powerful appearance. Now they are single-pitched.The original besign had the two side buildings approx 15 metres closer to the liffey.

You have to hand it to anyone who can sit next to the notoriously morally-bankrupt Anthony Weiner, and have Weiner seize the moral high ground.
That's exactly where the sarcastic and sanctimonious Bill Maher found himself last week. Maher has a penchant for making odd observations that show how out of touch he is with mainstream America, and indeed with human compassion. He famously tanked his career in 2001, and should be heading for a second and final tanking.
Just days after the Sept. 11, 2001 attack, when terrorists hijacked planes, murdered crewmembers and passengers, and flew the jets into buildings full of innocent people, Maher made bizarrely complimentary statements about the terrorists.
"We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly," Maher said. "Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, not coward."
Rightly so, that cost him his career as host of "Politically Incorrect," and in fact killed off the show.
Last week, his noxious gaze fell upon Boston. He scoffed at the city's reaction to the terrorists' Boston Marathon bombing and the Red Sox efforts to show respect for the victims.
"So the parade, they go to the place where the marathon bombing took place, they put the World Series statue there and they sing God Bless America and they say 'Boston strong' and they chant 'USA,' you know. It was again, a bad day, three people died, that's terrible. More were maimed, that's horrible, but unfortunately that happens every day, in car accidents and everything else. I mean, your city was not leveled by Godzilla," Maher said on his show HBO Real Time with Bill Maher.
Weiner looked surprised, and responded, "What's wrong with you?"
The same question should be asked of HBO, and any other media that thinks Maher is such a got-to-have talent. Time for HBO to let Maher go forth on his own and find some religion.

A season review of the Toronto Maple Leafs' CHL prospects.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have released their training camp list. There are 38 forwards, 19 defencemen, and six goalies vying for spots.
A review of the Toronto Maple Leafs' rookie tournament games against the Chicago Blackhawks and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Jerry D'Amigo will be on the radio at 9:45am with Ken Schott of Schenectady (fun name to say) to talk about leaving RPI for the Maple Leafs.
"We've been very pleased with Jerry's progression over the past 12 months," said Burke. "Seth Appert and the rest of the coaching staff at R.P.I. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) have done a really nice job of preparing Jerry for the next stage in his development. We look forward to having him at training camp."The Toronto Maple Leafs announce that they have signed 2009 6th round draft pick Jerry D'Amigo to a 3-year Entry Level Contract. D'Amigo was a bit of a wild card at the draft after dropping a couple of rounds but he is looking like he has the makings of being a steal.
Signing with the Leafs would require D'Amigo to leave the NCAA. He will likely be joining the Kitchener Rangers who own his CHL rights. Also: Thanks to @sunayas for the intial report on twitter. Update: D'Amigo said he's leaving the NCAA "for the right reasons" throwing some cold water on the OHL speculation.
Leafs recent play and discussions of the future.
Nice to hear for him, don't really know that much about the ECAC but I am told it's not the greatest. Either way it's nice to see a Leafs prospect doing well.
Jerry D'Amigo seems to be having an awesome year.

The Ottawa Senators took an early lead in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series against the New York Rangers thanks to Jason Spezza. Spezza's goal gave the Senators a 1-0 lead after one period at Madison Square Garden.
Spezza took a nice pass from Mark Stone while flying into New York's end, then buried a shot over Henrik Lundqvist's shoulder for the 1-0 lead. It's his first goal of the 2012 NHL playoffs.
Lundqvist was otherwise solid, saving eight of nine shots, but Craig Anderson trumped his counterpart in a big way in the first. Anderson had 14 saves for Ottawa, and helped the Sens stave off three power play opportunities for New York. Four Ottawa players served eight penalty minutes in the first period.
The two teams are tied 2-2 in their best-of-seven series.

Ask a Georgia Tech beat writer
By Matt Porter
There's only so much you can learn about an opposing team from press conference quotes and game film. For our unanswered questions about Georgia Tech, we turned to our colleague Ken Sugiura, who covers the Ramblin' Wreck for the one of the Palm Beach Post's sister publications, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Our many thanks to Ken for his time. You can check out his work here and follow him on Twitter here.
What new wrinkles might Paul Johnson's offense show on Saturday?
"Judging from what Johnson said this week, there might not actually be much if anything in the way of wrinkles, at least not readily discernible. Johnson has not been happy with the way the offense has been playing, particularly in last week's loss to Virginia Tech, and has wanted to limit the game plan in order to let players get things right. Tech has used its diamond formation – pistol formation with the slotbacks (A-backs) flanking the quarterback – but hasn't used it as much in the past two games. I suspect they might use that some and see how it works, but I imagine most of it will be the stuff Miami fans have grown used to seeing."
What do you expect out of Tech's quarterbacks?
"I expect that both starter Vad Lee and backup Justin Thomas will play. Johnson indicated that, based on his practice work this week, Thomas will get a series or two. I think Lee will play better than he did last week, when he was 7-for-24 for 144 yards with two interceptions and a fumble. That said, a lot will depend on what kind of protection he gets passing and how well the line gets run plays blocked up. The line didn't do it against Virginia Tech and it made everyone look bad."
What has made Tech's defense so successful?
"Seven returning starters doesn't hurt. But the big thing is defensive coordinator Ted Roof's imprint. The 4-3 scheme he uses suits the personnel better and is user friendly. Former coordinator Al Groh had a sound scheme, but it was complex and led to communication and alignment problems. Roof, too, has an intense personality and an aggressive style, and I think players have bought into both. Pair that with players who were better than last year's results showed, and you have a decent defense."
After what you've seen through four games, how do you assess Tech's chances to win the Coastal?
"They've still got a chance, but the Virginia Tech loss was obviously costly. I think this is a pretty good team for which the Virginia Tech game, particularly on offense, was just a flop. History would suggest this offense is going to score points. Further, the defense is better. While the chances drop to practically zero if they lose to Miami Saturday, I think if they somehow pull it off, they'd probably finish 6-2 (with another loss to Clemson) and hope that they get some help with Virginia Tech and Miami."
Do you ever get bored of watching option football?
"Funny question. I actually don't. When it's working, it can be impressive both in the way it can either just churn out yards or create big plays. You may remember that Tech scored 68 points against North Carolina last year. I sort of compare it to the offense that Princeton's basketball team plays. It's unorthodox and requires precision and discipline, but when it's working, it can humble superior talent."
Ken, by the way, asked me five questions about the Hurricanes. You can read that here.

Poor Nathan Graziano. He has an obsession and is surrounded by temptation all the time. He can't stop thinking about women in yoga pants, especially now that us ladies are wearing them in places outside of yoga class. "Yoga pants have brought out my worst chauvinistic characteristics — the characteristics I'd like deny exist inside me," he writes on The Good Men Project. "But when it comes to yoga pants, I can't."
Huh. I've never thought about it before, but I guess I get it. Yoga pants are tight. They hug hips, thighs, and butts. If they're too small, they may even give you serious camel toe. (I will happily size up to avoid showing off my labia.) But, as the female friends Graziano talked to explained, yoga pants are also ridiculously comfortable. It's why we have started to wear them outside of yoga class or the gym. I wear yoga pants basically all weekend, to run errands, to walk my dog, around the house, and sometimes to go to brunch. Yoga pants! They're the best! Apparently some guys find them drool worthy — I've yet to be hollered at while wearing mine, but maybe that's because I have no makeup on, my hair is unwashed and I'm in a rush to get home to eat my footlong Subway sandwich. The best thing about yoga pants is they stretch while I eat all the food!
But Graziano isn't buying this whole "yoga pants are so comfy" excuse. They're so tight, how could they be?! Therefore, us ladies must be wearing them because we want to turn guys like him on. Keep reading »

LightSquared addresses interference concerns
- April 29, 2011
- |
Reston-based LightSquared is set to become the first company in the country to provide a nationwide 4G wireless broadband network that relies on satellite and terrestrial technology. The network is scheduled for a commercial launch in three test markets by the end of the year.
The company will sell its service as a wholesaler through retailers like Best Buy and wireless and broadband competitors such as LEAP Wireless, which will allow device, application and service developers to create products for customers. The 4G speeds will enable mobile users to enjoy faster data uploads and Internet surfing capabilities.
"It's a huge deal," says Jeff Carlisle, LightSquared's executive vice president for regulatory affairs. "We're offering a function and a capability that no one else is really bringing to the market."
First, however, company officials must satisfy concerns over whether its network will interfere with Global Positioning System (GPS) signals and disrupt the operation of GPS devices used in public safety systems and jet flight controls as well as car navigations systems.
The potential for interference stems from the fact that one part of the spectrum utilized by the LightSquared network lies close to the area used by GPS devices.
The company has addressed potential transmission problems by installing filters on its base stations, which transmit signals from cell towers. "Instead of your signal gradually tapering off into GPS, the filter cuts it off like a wall, so we're not sending any energy into the GPS units that could cause any sort of interference," Carlisle says, noting that the filters adhere to a strict set of requirements demanded by the GPS Industry Council.
That solution was developed in 2004 when the company received authorization from the Federal Communications Commission to build and provide its new integrated service.
Last September, however, the GPS industry came up with another concern: A small group of GPS devices could be sensitive to signal transmissions from the LightSquared spectrum. If the devices overreach and pull signals from LightSquared's band, the GPS devices could fail.
To alleviate those concerns, LightSquared now is co-chairing a working group that includes engineers from major GPS and wireless firms, as well as U.S. defense, public safety and aviation agencies. Testing will begin this spring, and LightSquared will submit a final report to the FCC in mid-June with recommended measures for mitigating any interference for different types of receivers.
"You've got everybody you would want looking at this issue," Carlisle says. "We're moving forward with it, and there's been a high level of cooperation."
LightSquared, which has more than 300 employees, will invest more than $7 billion to build out the network.

Real Madrid haven't been at their best so far against Granada, but they've done enough to take a lead into halftime. They started the game with a brilliant goal, but their visitors quickly provided an answer to equalize. Sergio Ramos put his team back ahead with a headed goal ten minutes before halftime, and they lead 2-1 after 45 minutes.
Jose Mourinho has made the surprising move to start both Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain. Neither has been poor, nor has anyone for Madrid, but they don't look exactly like the Madrid side that went into the break in brilliant form.
The first goal was an absolutely brilliant one, with Madrid's best attacking players combining to put them ahead in the 19th minute. Cristiano Ronaldo started the move with a lob to Mesut Özil, who backheeled into the path of Benzema. He had an easy finish, and tapped it in to put his team ahead. Granada's equalizer was instant, with Mikel Rico heading in a cross from Ikechukwu Uche in the 22nd minute.
Ramos would put his team back ahead in the 34th minute, heading in a corner kick from Özil. Granada's defending on both goals was fairly poor, and they have a long way to go to get back into this one. A third from Madrid seems more likely than an equalizer.
