A judge has sentenced Michael Parson to the maximum of 35 years in jail for the attempted murder of his wife. During an emotional sentencing hearing on Friday morning, Parson's mother told the court she still doesn't believe he is the shooter. On Thursday, Parson was convicted of shooting his wife, Adina, eight times outside their Sandy Springs apartment in 2011. Parson, who chose not to testify in his own defense, was convicted on charges of aggravated assault, attempted murder and other charges. Prosecutors said that Parson wanted to kill his wife so that he could marry another woman.Parson's mother begged the judge for mercy on her son's behalf, and asked Adina's family for forgiveness. She said her son is not a monster, and she's not convinced he was the murderer.
Adina's father and best friend spoke on her behalf. Her best friend, Sondra Reed, talked about the way she used to be, and said she misses her, but still loves her the same way she always has, and will always be there for her.Jurors spent Thursday morning watching and listening to a videotaped statement Parson gave police as they investigated his wife's shooting. On tape, Parson admitted that he cheated on his wife with a co-worker, who became his fiancée. He also said he had sex with that co-worker while his wife struggled to survive in a hospital. Parson told investigators he realized that didn't sound right, but insisted he did not shoot his wife. On Wednesday, it was revealed that Parson lied about having spinal cancer, and was not actually receiving treatments at the time his wife was shot. Prosecutors also read a letter Parson wrote to his fiancée, Rachel Harner. Harner also spoke to the court on Friday morning, saying she no longer trusts anyone and her life, too, has been turned upside down.
"I'm speaking to this courtroom today with a heavy guilt in my heart because I was able to walk to the podium today and speak clearly to anyone who will hear me," Harner said. "It seems cruel of speak of my pain when Adina cannot."Before the shooting, prosecutors say Adina Parson was a young, successful lawyer who worked a lot, engaged in couple's activities with her husband, and volunteered at church. The state says her husband was leading a double life, and was engaged to Harner, a young soldier he met when she was just 19 years old. The state says Parson found a friend, created an alibi and then shot his wife outside of their home.As a result of the shooting, Adina-- who now goes by her maiden name of Broom-- lost her eye, is barely able to walk and talk, and is confined to a wheelchair. Adina's father said Friday he will forgive Parson, but wants him to do the maximum amount of time. Through her family, Adina says she's relieved the matter is finally behind her, but family members say she admits she still loves her ex-husband.

Women's Tennis Opens Dual Match Season with Three Matches
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU women's tennis team will open up the 2010 dual match season with three matches this weekend, beginning with the home opener against Troy University on Friday. The Eagles will then hit the road for matches with Central Florida (Saturday) and Bethune-Cookman (Sunday).
The Blue and Green are coming off a good showing at the FGCU Invitational tournament this past weekend. Katharine Evans (Fort Myers, Fla.) won the Flight 6 consolation bracket, defeating players from Purdue and Northwestern State along the way. Freshman Morgan Bechtel (Toledo, Ohio) took third place in Flight 7, defeating teammate Bibiana Almeida (Porto, Portugal) in the third-place match.
"Our team had some wins over big schools this weekend," head coach Jennifer Gabou said after the tournament. "Playing against such a high level of competition this early will prepare us for the regular season and conference play."
The Eagles will kick off the dual match season on Friday, January 22, with a home match against Troy University. The Trojans finished last season with a 17-5 record, losing to North Texas in the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Conference tournament. Play is scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m.
Saturday, January 23, FGCU will travel to Orlando for a match-up with Central Florida. The Knights lost in the quarterfinals of the Conference USA championships to Tulsa, finishing with an 11-10 record. The match is scheduled for a 1:00 p.m. start.
The Blue and Green will wrap up a busy weekend with another road match, this time at Bethune-Cookman in Daytona Beach. Last season, the Lady Wildcats finished 11-9, falling to eventual conference champion South Carolina State in the semifinals of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Tennis Championships.

The Savannah Harbor Expansion Project is closer to moving forward after a key federal bill is passed through the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. On Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston accompanied the committee's chairman at the Port of Savannah.
In the coming weeks, the Water Resource Development Act will go to the House floor. The bill, which increases the amount of money that can be spent on the harbor expansion, passed the committee and will soon head to the floor. Because of the strong bipartisan support for the project, there is strong optimism that the bill will pass this session.
"It's a project now we have all seen grown tremendously in public support but not just all over the state of Georgia and not just with all parties but nationally," Kingston said.
Kingston welcomed Pennsylvania U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster at the Georgia Ports Authority on Wednesday morning. Shuster is the chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and has been instrumental in helping the Water Resource Development Act move forward. The U.S. Senate has already passed its version of the water bill.
"There is a federal role in these types of projects and there has been 230 years our waterways our ports our harbors are absolutely critical to the health of the nation's economy," Shuster said.
Shuster said for every $1 invested in the project, the U.S. economy will see $5.50 in return on the project. He believes it will make it all the way through this legislative session.
"I think there's a high, high probability that we're going to have a water bill this year. As I said when you deal with issues like this that have a bipartisan support - everybody believes," Shuster said.
The bill authorizes the amount of money that can be spent on the project. But it will be the federal budget that will provide the main source of money. The state of Georgia has already set aside $231 million for the project, which is ready to be used once the bill is passed. Having just returned from a tour of the Panama Canal, Deal has more support for the project than ever.

Man, the Projection Master Classes at LDI were a rocking success again this year. Somehow, just the right people ended up on just the right panels — after many perambulations — and the knowledge shared was huge. At the end, I was thrilled, and everybody seemed to glow with some new purpose.
As in previous years, the final few sessions focused on DIY (do-it-yourself), alternative technical approaches, and thinking about the future. Our final panel had the gifted interactive artist and production designer Pablo Molina; Nick Sears, creator of the Orb LED display; VJ Robb Pope; and Josh Fleitell, live from Shrek tech on Broadway, via Skype! That's what I'm talking about! The conversation ranged widely across realms of approach to projects, process, alternative methods, interactivity, and control schemes that departed from current industry standards. The nice contrast in these last sessions was that the discussion turned from what the big productions use, and how they use it, to focus on how to get the same, or more, done with a good deal less.
I thought it would be great to talk a bit about those things we covered that day. One of the questions I often get coming into the sessions is: "I would love to use media servers or expensive projectors, but I can't afford them. How can I accomplish my project on a way tighter budget?" This is especially the case at the regional theatre level, the academic theatre level, and in the market for corporate or alternative marketing where budgets are now so tight.
There are many things changing about our business these days. Some of them relate directly to us, but often, factors in other businesses have a huge impact on us as production artists and technicians. The entertainment industry has suffered from massive vertical integration. "Suffered" is an intentional choice of verbiage. Record labels, studios — all of these massive conglomerates — suffer in this economy from the inherent bloat of maintaining all answers to all problems. They have to maintain overhead. The labels, for instance, are trapped into a model that only understands how to commoditize one product: prerecorded music or media, a product that, due to cultural and technological trends, has to be shifted to the category of loss leader. It's not that there is not money to be made in content; it's that the money has to be derived from target captive audiences in the live environment and secondary market. It is in commoditizing the live event, and in the sales opportunity of this paying focus group, that artists and management have the best opportunity to generate significant income.
Music and media need to be the invitation to participate in the market place of the live, of the on-demand, and of the participatory experience. Once contained within the constraints of this participation, a protected marketplace is established, where merchandise, video, and audio products can be sold to motivated consumers. Ask Live Nation about this. It's not for nothing that they've done 360° deals with Madonna, Nickelback, and Jay-Z. The parameters of a 360° deal go way beyond the average recording contract. They generally task the producer with creating marketing and revenue-driving opportunities for the content. Think TV ads, ring tones, branding campaigns, and the massive application of swag, including bling, hoodies, bonus music, and DVDs. In return for this pimping, the producer shares all of that revenue. It's strategic at a macro level, but the vast majority of recording artists don't have the opportunity to do 360° deals with Live Nation, which is lucky for all of us.
On the opposite, but related, end of the spectrum, many artists are still divorcing themselves from labels and using the Internet for distribution, claiming the lion's share of their income via self-distribution and keeping the income generated from live events. It puts artists and management in the position of producer. They require the same creative and production services that the labels and the conglomerates require but on a more economic and imaginative level. Self-distribution also affords them the same cross-industry opportunities that the bigger groups get with their 360° deals. Ultimately, it's up to the effort they expend and the people they get to help them.
Let's boil it down: We were in an economy where big companies did business with big companies. Now, we are in an economy where small nimble entities are collaborating and doing revenue sharing with other small nimble entities. If you're reading this, and you work for one of the former, I imagine you might be spending some thoughtful moments thinking "WTF?!" If you are one of the latter, then it is time not for fear but for opportunity and initiative.
Are you feeling like I lost track of the discussion here? Wasn't I supposed to be telling you about new cheap ways to get it done? I will, but we should all understand that choosing to operate in an ad hoc guerrilla fashion doesn't have to be out of necessity. It can be because of a choice to take advantage of a completely crazy time in the entertainment market place to get ahead.
Moving on to the question: "I can't afford a major media server. I still have to get a show done with three discreet outputs for video on stage. They have to be synchronized. What can I do?" There are a bunch of tools out there that don't pop up right away on the production radar. Sometimes they are tools created for interesting subsets of production; sometimes they are tools we can hijack from other businesses entirely.
I'm very fond of several VJ video mixing applications. The one I tend to use most is Livid Instruments Union, but there's also Resolume, Arkaos, and others out there. If you have a fairly powerful laptop — say, one that would be good for gaming — you'll find that VJ software can perform high-resolution playback and enable you to mix live between two layers, while applying effects. These are robust environments that often leverage Direct-X, Open-GL, and other graphics systems that have largely been developed for gaming. Put to a different use, these systems enable you to playback high quality media in a controlled fashion. They do demand focus and planning from the user. You're not going to be hooking this rig up to a lighting console (probably). You're not going to be hitting one button to "go." It's old-school, baby! Keep track of your clips, have a list, cue them manually, and make the fade yourself with the mouse, when it should happen.
That's playback. So, what about those three outputs? If I take that same laptop and attach the super-awesome Matrox TripleHead2Go, I now have a computer that sports four monitors (including the laptop's internal monitor). The Matrox TripleHead adapter plugs into your computer's DVI port and splits it into three monitor outputs. If you manage the way your media is encoded carefully, then you can now use that clever VJ technology to playback in a window that you scale to cover all three of the breakout monitors. Of course, you'll have to compose that media correctly to look right when spanned that way. For more information on that, please apply for an MFA in Projection Design at CalArts, where my wife Colleen and I teach!
Cost for the above solution (exclusive of the laptop and the media creation):
Livid Instruments Union Software: $299
Matrox TripleHead2Go: $195
Can you do everything you'd do with the upper end systems? Probably not, but only probably not. I've seen crazy-talented VJs and video performance artists create amazing shows with tools just like these. I've written before about the process of creating in this very direct way. There is power in it, from working it live — an added element.
Second most common question: "How small a projector can I get away with?" It absolutely depends on the application and how bright the room is going to be. The options for smaller projectors are better than ever. Small is an operative word here.
For instance, performance artists, incidental video artists, and general multimedia nerds rejoice when they check out the new Samsung P400 Pocket Projector. It's got an LED light source, can be powered by batteries, stores media via solid-state storage sticks, and at 5"×5"×3", you can literally put it in a pocket. The opportunities for performers to work directly with onstage projection sources, or for designers to stuff a little projector anywhere for an effect, boggle the mind. At only 150 lumens, it's got to be specific, but for experimental theatre, dance, or even a dark Broadway scene with some freaky back wall full of imagistic light boxes, these would do the trick. Price: $649.
These are just a couple of examples. I've got a bunch more up my sleeve. Make sure to check out the blog section on livedesignonline.com, where I'll continue with this, and if I'm lucky, I'll get some more article space for my ramblings soon.

Fishy behaviour
A fish's personality may determine how it is captured. This association between personality difference and capture-technique could have significant evolutionary and ecological consequences for affected fish populations, as well as for the quality of fisheries.
Anglers fishing near rocky outcrops or in areas of water with submerged vegetation may be more likely to catch timid fish, while those fishing in open water may be more likely to reel in bolder fish, according to new research conducted at Queen's University Biological Station.
"Boldness—the tendency of an individual to take risks—is one personality trait of considerable interest to behavioural biologists," explains lead author Alexander Wilson, a visiting biologist from Carleton University. "Ours is the first study to have characterized a relationship between capture technique and individual boldness in a wild population of fish."
The researchers examined the personalities of bluegill sunfish caught by two different capture techniques – angling (a hook attached to a fishing line) and beach seining (a long net that is dragged through water to encircle fish).
Fish caught in the wild by angling were more timid than fish captured in the wild using a seine net. However, when a group of fish captured by seine net was then released in a large outdoor pool and angled for, it was the bold individuals who were most often caught in the open.
According to Dr. Wilson, these findings make ecological sense. Despite spending equal times angling in open water areas and in areas with refuge, the researcher caught more fish in the areas with refuge—a habitat that appeals more to timid fish. On the other hand, beach seining or angling in open water are both capture techniques that are more likely to target bolder, risk-taking fish.
This research was recently published in the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Science.

Jimmy Carter Work Project 1996
Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, Habitat for Humanity International to Hammer in Hungary
July 9, 1996 -Vác, Hungary - Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) is gearing up for what may well be its most ambitious Jimmy Carter Work Project yet. During the week of August 11-18, former U.S. President and First Lady Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter will take their hammers to Vác, Hungary, to build 10 homes in five days alongside an anticipated 500 volunteers from around the world.
For more than a decade, Jimmy Carter has led the annual Habitat for Humanity event which bears his name to international communities as diverse as Tijuana, Mexico and Waterloo-Kitchener, Canada, as well as U.S. communities such as the Cheyenne River Sioux Indian Reservation in South Dakota and the Watts community of Los Angeles , California. Now he is calling for a truly global response to the critical need for affordable housing as he and HFH founder and president Millard Fuller bring the Habitat vision to Hungary, where it is desperately needed.
Since the collapse of Communism in Hungary, the housing situation has taken a turn for the worse as no private agency has stepped in to fill the former government role of housing provider. Many of the country's 3.8 million households lack access to the most basic utilities, yet the average Hungarian family now spends nearly three-quarters of their income on rent. Often the houses are severely crowded with multiple generations living together under one roof.
"The annual Jimmy Carter Work Project is a great opportunity to highlight our mission of building simple, decent houses in partnership with God's people in need, " said Millard Fuller, founder and president of HFHI. "The City of Vác has opened its doors to Habitat for Humanity International and we are looking forward to meeting many new partners."
Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating poverty housing worldwide. Habitat is a volunteer-driven mission which works in partnership with people in need to build simple, decent shelter that is sold to them at no profit, through no-interest loans. Funds, building materials, and labor are donated by individuals, churches, corporations and other organizations who share the goal of making decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. "Habitat for Humanity is beginning to grow significantly in Europe," added Fuller. "This one week blitz build will help spread the word about this work."
Habitat for Humanity International is located in Americus, GA, U.S.A. This year Habitat for Humanity is celebrating 20 years of home and hope building. Habitat has over 1,200 affiliates located in all 50 United States. Additionally, the organization's more than 250 international affiliates coordinate some 800 building programs in nearly 50 countries, including Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Burundi, Canada, Central African Republic, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Fiji, Ghana, Great Britain, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Kenya, Malawi, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Peru, Poland, the Solomon Islands, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Uganda, Zaire and Zambia.

The New Crop of Low-Carb Foods
Think shunning carbohydrates means leaving cookies and bread behind? Think again. A new crop of low-carb foods is putting cookies and more -- pretzels, ice cream, even beer -- back on the menu for the carb-conscious. But are these carb-free snacks really better for you than their full-carb counterparts? Not if you're replacing healthy foods with low-carb junk food, says Julie Walsh, American Dietetic Association spokesperson.
She also warns that though Atkins-sanctioned snacks may be low in carbs, they can also be high in saturated fat, which contributes to high cholesterol. But how do manufacturers get the carbs out? The secret lies in the ingredients. Rather than using white flour, which quickly breaks down to sugars in the body, low-carb snacks are made with soy, rye, or almond flour. These alternative flours do contain carbohydrates, but in the form of resistance starches. These starches act like fiber, passing through the body undigested and only minimally affecting blood sugar levels, says Mary Ellen Camire, PhD, professor of food science and human nutrition at the University of Maine, in Orono.
Before loading up on these munchies, know that there are drawbacks. Altering ingredients often means altering taste and texture. Also, resistance starches aren't easily digested, so eating too much may cause bloating and gastrointestinal discomfort, says Dr. Camire. She suggests introducing these foods into your diet slowly.

The Atlanta School Board has delayed a vote on the superintendent's contract amid controversy surrounding some of his recent decisions. Superintendent Erroll Davis has been on the hot seat since he abruptly removed the leadership at North Atlanta High School.
Davis signed up to lead the APS as the district was in crisis following one of the worst cheating scandal in U.S. history. The district was on probation and its accreditation was in jeopardy. The graduation and dropout rates were embarrassing.
"I view my staying alive as the biggest accomplishment. We've certainly had a lot to deal with," said Davis. "Whether it was the AG and dealing with open meeting issues, whether it was redistricting, whether it was dealing with the state board and the law that would have removed our school board."
The retired Board of Regents Chancellor navigated through all of those obstacles, but has reached a deal breaker with some North Atlanta parents over the removal of interim principal Mark Mygrant and his team.
Parent Cynthia Brown said that one issue is enough for her and urged the board to hold off on renewing Davis' contract.
"I think he had been good for the district up until this point, but yes, the actions of the last couple of weeks, call into question his ability to lead the district and to manage people," said Brown.
The accountability commission has completed Davis' superintendent evaluation for the first year on the job. The entire board gaveled into executive session around 3 p.m. to talk about Davis' future.
The board decided in the closed-door meeting to wait until December to take up Davis' contract.
Davis' contract won't expire until the end of June 2013. The board could make the decision to launch a national search to find a long-term superintendent.

Law enforcement seized more than $140,000 of synthetic marijuana from a home in Barnesville on Wednesday, Officers and deputies recovered 9 pounds of synthetic marijuana, which is also known as Spice. Major Brad White of the Lamar County Sheriff's Office says an undercover informant led investigators to the home where they confiscated the fake pot and arrested Marcos Antonio Richardson.Commander Allen McWhorter heads up the drug task force that organized the bust with local police. He said investigators are checking area stores to try to track down the fake pots' origin. He believes this is the state's largest bust of synthetic marijuana since Georgia banned all forms of it earlier this year. "We're going to see more of this and the reason why I say that is because it's on a big demand for it through teenagers and they had to do something with it when they took it off the shelves," said McWhorter.Investigators said it appears the fake pot was sold out of the home, but they say it wasn't manufactured there.Richardson is charged with violation of the Georgia controlled substance act and distribution. More charge could be pending, official said.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

The 2011 Lisbon Forum, 3-4 November,
Lisbon Ismaili Centre
North –South Centre of the Council of Europe, in partnership with the Alliance of Civilizations and the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN)
Welcome Remarks by the AKDN Representative, Comendador Nazim Ahmad
Mr. Jorge Sampaio, United Nations High Representative for the Alliance of Civilizations and Chair of the Lisbon Forum
Mr. Miguel Angel Martínez, Vice-President of the European Parliament
Mr. Youssef Amrani, Secretary General of the Union for the Mediterranean
Mr. Bernardino Leon, Special Representative of the European Union for the Southern Mediterranean
Mrs. Magda Zaki, Director / Minister Plenipotenciary, League of Arab States
Mr. João Bosco Mota Amaral, Vice President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
Mrs. Deborah Bergamini, Chair of the Executive Council of the North South Centre of the Council of Europe
Mr. Amirali Bhanji, President of His Highness Prince Aga Khan Shia Imami Ismaili Council for Portugal, the principal constitutional body for the social governance of the Ismaili Community in Portugal
Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen
On behalf of the Aga Khan Development Network, I would like to express our warm welcome to all the participants to the 2011 Lisbon Forum and to convey our great pleasure in, once more, hosting this international forum, in collaboration with the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe and the Alliance of Civilizations.
This is now the eighth international gathering led by the North-South Centre that we have jointly hosted here at this Lisbon Ismaili Centre since 2007.
Today, at the outset of the Forum, I wish to reiterate to the North-South Centre our deep commitment to our collaboration, under the scope of the Protocol of Cooperation which was signed between the Portuguese Government and the Ismaili Imamat in 2005.
Allow me to share with you some considerations regarding the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) and its work.
His Highness the Aga Khan, fourty-ninth hereditary Imam or spiritual leader of the Shia Ismaili Muslims and a direct descendant of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), is the founder and the chairman of the Aga Khan Development Network or AKDN, a group of development agencies that conduct their programmes without regard to faith, origin or gender of the beneficiaries in more than 30 countries.
Our agencies have mandates that include the environment, health, education, architecture, culture, microfinance, rural development, disaster reduction, the promotion of private-sector enterprise and the revitalisation of historic cities.
AKDN includes two universities, the Aga Khan University and the University of Central Asia, as well more than 300 schools and advanced educational programmes that provide quality pre-school, primary, secondary, and higher secondary education services to students in a number of developing countries.
Global citizenship, empowerment of civil society and pluralism have been at the core of AKDN's endeavors, which permeate all the programmatic activities and approaches of the various AKDN agencies. AKDN's vision underlines the importance of empowering people to take charge of their own development.
In this regard, let me quote His Highness the Aga Khan (start quote): "I am sure that we can agree that at the most general level, the goal of all development efforts -- be they promoted by governments, national organizations, or international development agencies and institutions -- is to stimulate and facilitate change that is positive in character, significant in impact, long-lasting in consequence, and sustainable into the future. The more complex and difficult question is what does it take to achieve development that meets this aspiration? (…) From the perspective of forty years of work, and the experience of the agencies of the Aga Khan Development Network, institutional development stands out as critically important to broad-based sustainable change. By institutional development, I mean the strengthening and refocusing of existing institutions, as well as the creation of new institutions and policies to support them. (…) The need for institutional development also applies to every sector of society: to government at all levels, to business large and small, and to that diverse array of informal and formal organisations that have come to be referred to collectively as civil society institutions. One clear lesson of the last half of the twentieth century is that governments cannot do everything." (end quote).
I therefore salute the North South Centre, the Alliance of Civilizations as well as Mr. Jorge Sampaio for all the efforts both institutions have been undertaking to promote human development, which the AKDN shares, and finally wish all the participants fruitful working sessions.
Thank you.

SARANAC LAKE — The outcry against high-stakes testing drew thousands to a recent rally in Albany.
Among buses that poured into the capital were three from the North Country.
Saranac Lake Middle School teacher Don Carlisto went with 12 others from that community, joining a busload from Plattsburgh. Other buses traveled from Canton and Watertown.
"It was a festival atmosphere," he described the scene on the Plaza. "There were thousands of people there. The estimate going in was 10,000. I would say they easily exceeded 10,000."
State assessment testing — also called high-stakes testing — was implemented to align with federal Common Core standards this year.
The exams are also deigned for use as teaching assessment tools, despite indications that, this year, many students were given questions about subjects three or more grade levels above their current curriculum.
Speakers at the rally, organized by the New York State United Teachers, included American Federation of Teachers President Randi Wiengarten, United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew and John Nichols, Washington correspondent for The Nation magazine.
"There was also a performance by (singer/songwriter) Tom Chapin. He wrote a song called 'Not on the Test,' and that was really good," Carlisto said.
Dr. Margarita Garcia-Notario, a SUNY Plattsburgh professor, has children in the Plattsburgh City School District. She also attended the rally in Albany.
"I thought it was very well organized, very peaceful," she said. "People brought a lot of kids. And the signs were very funny —there was a 1-year-old holding a sign that said: 'I'm not a test score.'"
The rally focused on information in a civilized way, Dr. Garcia-Notario said, "primarily criticizing aspects of the situation that are not acceptable: that state education is using public money in a way that is hurting the public."

Neurology and public health
Launch of the report "Dementia: a public health priority"
The report "Dementia: a public health priority" has been jointly developed by WHO and Alzheimer's Disease International. The purpose of this report is to raise awareness of dementia as a public health priority, to articulate a public health approach and to advocate for action at international and national levels.
Mental and neurological disorders are highly prevalent worldwide. The Global Burden of Disease report drew the attention of the international health community to the fact that the burden of mental and neurological disorders has been seriously underestimated by traditional epidemiological methods that took into account only mortality, but not disability rates. This report specifically showed that while the mental and neurological disorders are responsible for about one per cent of deaths, they account for almost 11 per cent of disease burden the world over. The Study has demonstrated that magnitude and burden of neurological disorders are huge and that they are priority health problems globally. The extension of life expectancy and the ageing of the general populations in both developed and developing countries are likely to increase the prevalence of many chronic and progressive physical and mental conditions including neurological disorders. The proportionate share of the total global burden of disease due to neuropsychiatric disorders is projected to rise to 14.7% by 2020.
Over the years, WHO programmes, projects and activities in the areas of mental and neurological disorders have been closely linked. To address the large and increasing burden, many activities are being undertaken by the Programme on Neurological Disorders and Neuroscience. These are focused on prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological disorders which are of public health importance as they occur frequently, cause substantial disability, create a burden on individuals, families, communities and societies all over the world. These comprise epilepsy, headache, dementias (including Alzheimer's disease), multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and other hyperkinetic disorders, stroke, pain syndromes, and brain injury. The programme's main goal is to ensure that an appropriate range of care is made available to all people with neurological disorders in every country of the world. To achieve this, the programme emphasizes that neurological services should be provided at all levels of health care systems and especially in primary care settings where most patients with neurological disorders receive their treatment and care.
The strategies adopted to decrease the public health impact of neurological disorders include collection of epidemiological data; assessment of neurological resources including deficiencies and impediments to adequate health care delivery; estimation of human resources; evaluation of costs and health needs; organization of services; research on risk and other public health factors relevant to the prevention and treatment of neurological disorders; education and training of health care workers dealing with patients with neurological disorders; planning of programmes and policies for the control of neurological disorders; and formulation and implementation of specific strategies for prevention of neurological disorders. In carrying out these activities, WHO has been closely collaborating with the national and international, professional, and non-governmental organizations concerned with prevention and treatment of specific neurological disorders or in general.

Heybridge: Royal message for "remarkable" resident on 100th birthday
11:00am Sunday 2nd December 2012 in Local News
A former dairy worker celebrated her 100th birthday with a party and a letter from the Queen.
Agnes Nurse, formerly of Wickham Bishops, was joined by family and both residents and staff at Brewster House, in Oak Road, Heybridge, as she marked the landmark.
The mother-of-one has been at the home since 2002, but deputy manager Lee Miller said she would still be out working if she had her own way and her health hadn't been hampered by a stroke.
"She says herself that if she was able to she would still be out and about and working and I well believe her," he said.
"She's remarkable."

Questions & Answers
Diaper Dude Diaper Bag
Loved it
Minae Itamoto from Los Angeles, CA– Verified Buyer
it was so cute and looked exactly in the picture!!! Perfect for daily use. Review this product in 20 words or more...
good dad bag
Beverly Harmon from Metairie, LA– Verified Buyer
The looks are great and the embroidery is well done. The baby isn't here yet but it looks durable and well made.
disappointed. dragon looks hand painted
sabiston from hillsborough, ca– Verified Buyer
didnt like the way it looked, dragon does not look finished.
Great Bag
Mama J from Kentucky– Verified Buyer
Nice bag. A little hard to get into when you have it on your shoulder, but most are. Really like, only complaint is the dragon design was a little less impressive in person.
You're paying for the name...
Avoidin' the Drama Mama from Sioux City, IA– Verified Buyer
Essentially, this is the same quality as a [@] diaper bag, except that I paid way too much for it. I think the extra [$] went into the dragon on the front, which my two-year-old could have done with some paint and a stamper. It is very sloppy, and the gray of the dragon does not match the zippers, etc. YUCK!
A Dad Bag With Mojo!
Randy from Charles Town, WV– Verified Buyer
This product is super functional with many pockets for all those things you didn't know you would need as a new dad. Plus, you don't look like a character from the movie "Pleasantville" because it's styled for a modern day dad with spunk!
As Good As I'd Hoped
New York from NY but the Bag's in Michigan– Verified Buyer
I bought the bag because the design looked practical and the dragon reminded me of the tattoos the very young, very new dad sports. While he wasn't too sure he thought a diaper bag was as good a gift as, say, new socks, I noticed on my next visit that it was filled with wipes, diapers, and a change of clothes and sitting by the door. Baby steps into fatherhood...
diaper bag
Ms Boney from austin tx
love the bag, recieved in a timely manner
Dragon Dude Diaper Bag
Anne Marie from New Mexico
Fantastic! Just the present I was searching for, for a modern guy who is expecting his first child.
Cheap Quality
Rey from Austin, TX
When looking at this item, I don't know what I was expecting....but it's not what I got. It has all the bells and whistles it was supposed to come with. However, the dragon is screen printed on, and mine actually has a smudge in the detail work. I don't like the color of the dragon either....it looks like it is supposed to glow in the dark. The zippers are made of plastic, which makes it hard to close alot times. It guess when I pay a high amount of money like I did, I expect a better quality product.

USDA Ag Coexistence Plan Comment Period Extended
Agri-Pulse reports the U.S. Department of Agriculture published its proposal in November to strengthen agricultural coexistence in the United States.
USDA has decided to extend the comment public period for 60 days - which makes the new deadline March 4th.
Coexistence is defined as the concurrent cultivation of crops produced through diverse agricultural systems - including traditionally produced, organic, identity preserved and genetically engineered crops.
USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service says the department supports all forms of agriculture and wants each sector to be as successful as possible - providing products to markets in the U.S. and abroad.

OXNARD, California — Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant told reporters he was fine when he left the practice field Saturday, but he missed the final portion of team drills after feeling tightness in his hamstring.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says the team will take the same approach with Bryant that they have with his fellow starting wideout Miles Austin.
When it comes to hamstring issues, the Cowboys say they'll take a conservative approach - no need to push anyone at this point of the preseason.
That means Bryant could miss the preseason opener Monday night in Oakland.
Austin won't play, and if Bryant misses as well, your starting receiver tandem will probably be Kevin Ogletree and Dwayne Harris.

Lake Wylie summer maintenance tips:
1. Are the yard and garden in full bloom? Be sure to clean up existing yard debris, including leftover winter wood piles. Snakes and other critters love nesting in debris and other unattended areas. Keep squirrels and rodents from accessing the house by pruning trees and shrubs so the branches do not come into contact with the siding.
2. Planning to grill out on the deck or host a party? Do a thorough inspection of your deck. Replace rotted wood and hammer down nails that have popped up. Clean and seal the deck for improved protection. If water does not bead together on the deck, it's time to reseal it.
3. Taking an extend vacation? In addition to adjusting your thermostat, consider shutting down the water heater and turning off the main shut-off valve to the water supply. There is no need to waste energy or gas heating the water tank. By turning off the water supply, you will be safe from any possible leaks that may occur while you're gone.

MALONE — A school resource officer will be restored in the Malone Central School District under an agreement with the Franklin County District Attorney's Office.
"This is something we've been talking about ever since Sandy Hook last year," said Superintendent Jerry Griffin, referring to the Dec. 14 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., when 20 children and six adults were killed.
He said he and District Attorney Derek Champagne brought together other members of a safety team with representatives from Franklin County Emergency Services, the Sheriff's Department, Malone Village Police and the State Police "to kick it around" and find the best way to place a trained, uniformed and armed peace officer within the school system.
Griffin said Champagne pitched the idea to the School Board when the 2013-14 budget was being discussed last spring.
The School Board set aside $30,000 a year for the position.
The Salmon River Central School District has a resource officer, but that position uses an officer from the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police and is paid for by the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe.
Former Malone Village Police Sgt. Bruce Cox was the Malone School District's resource officer when the program began in September 2000 with a $120,000 grant the department received through the U.S. Department of Justice.
The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program placed 599 such officers in schools across the country.
It lasted for three years, but when the grant money ran out, the position was abolished despite heavy lobbying within the community to have the Village Board start funding the program.
In restoring the position, the district wanted to contract for the protection services rather than add a district employee.
The DA's Office researched the provisions in the Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act (SAFE Act), which allows an armed police officer or peace officer on school grounds.

Props for the 1984 mention...I've been hearing nothing but good things about this lately so methinks I should purchase a copy...
Actually they were following me.
I wanted to somehow incorporate IsItLuck?'s Lollapalooza feature at the bottom of the review talking about how I was the one staff member who never showed his face (or whatever he was talking about in his "By the Numbers" section of the Sunday review) but I opted out for the fact that I'm not as cool as you

Digging: My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge
I have a feeling these guys could be huge, I am going to get this at the end of the month when I get money for iTunes.
why do bands have to make theirnamesalloneword?
I got their EP last year at some point and "Don't Stop" is such a hot song.
I read this review/checked out their myspace as fast as I could when I saw 65daysofstatic in the corner of my eye.
^ I did the same upon seeing Squarepusher...
I think they sound more like how their label is describing them than "65daysofstatic meets Squarepusher" but maybe that's just me....
I hear more 65dos (especially One Time for All Time-era) similarities before I hear anything close to a NIN or Chemical Brothers allusion. If Squarepusher is stretching it, then so be it, but I'm not forgoing the 65dos slant.
Album Rating: 2.5sounds interesting, gonna check this out
I'm pretty sure Spat out is correct, and NIN has singing.
are you joking? this is fucking terrible. it's extremely generic, both for electronica AND for modern rock. it's like someone made a gayer version of Delerium and performed covers of Finger Eleven songs
Haha. so we can assume you're joking right?^^
I can't wait to check this out.
Oh, ok cuz it said you were digging this for a minute.
A bit overdramatic, chan.

Whole shallots
|Allium cepa
|Cultivar group
|Aggregatum Group
The shallot (Allium cepa var. aggregatum, or the A. cepa Aggregatum Group) is a botanical variety of the species Allium cepa, to which the multiplier onion also belongs.[1] The shallot was formerly classified as a separate species, A. ascalonicum, a name now considered a synonym of the currently accepted name.[2] The genus Allium, which includes onions and garlic as well as shallots, is now classified in the plant family Amaryllidaceae, but was formerly considered to belong to the separate family Alliaceae.
Shallots probably originated in Central or Southeast Asia, travelling from there to India and the eastern Mediterranean. The name "shallot" comes from Ashkelon, an ancient Philistine city,[3] where people in classical Greek times believed shallots originated.[4]
Indian names for shallots include kanda or gandana or pyaaz (Hindi, Marathi, Marwari and Punjabi), gundhun (Bengali), cheriya ulli or chuvanna ulli (Malayalam) and chinna vengayam (or sambar vengayam in the Chennai region) (Tamil). In the Kashmiri language, shallots are called praan. In Nepal, shallots are called chyapi (छ्यापी).
In Southeastern Asia, shallots are called bawang merah kecil (small red onions) in Malay, brambang in Java, and hom (หอม, fragrant) in Thai. In Cambodian (Khmer), shallots are called katem kror hom, where katem or ktem is a species of onion, and kror hom or hom meaning "red", describes their colour.
The name shallot is also used for the Persian shallot (A. stipitatum), from the Zagros Mountains in Iran and Iraq. The term shallot is further used for the French gray shallot or griselle (Allium oschaninii), a species referred to as "true shallot"; [4] it grows wild from Central to Southwest Asia. In Australia, the term shallot can also refer to scallions (from various species of Allium)[citation needed], while the term eschalot, derived from the French word échalote, can also be used to refer to the shallot described in this article.[5]
Like garlic, shallots are formed in clusters of offsets with a head composed of multiple cloves. The skin colour of shallots can vary from golden brown to gray to rose red, and their off-white flesh is usually tinged with green or magenta.
Shallots are extensively cultivated for culinary uses, propagated by offsets. In some regions ("long-season areas"), the offsets are usually planted in autumn (September or October in the Northern Hemisphere).[6] In some other regions, the suggested planting time for the principal crop is early spring (typically in February or the beginning of March in the Northern Hemisphere).[7]
In planting, the tops of the bulbs should be kept a little above ground, and the soil surrounding the bulbs is often drawn away when the roots have taken hold. They come to maturity in summer (about July or August in the Northern Hemisphere), although fresh shallots can now be found year-round in supermarkets. Shallots should not be planted on ground recently manured.
In Africa, shallots are grown in the area around Anloga in southeastern Ghana.[8]

Shallots are used in fresh cooking in addition to being pickled. Finely sliced, deep-fried shallots are used as a condiment in Asian cuisine, often served with porridge. As a species of Allium, shallots taste somewhat like a common onion, but have a milder flavour.[9] Like onions and garlic, when sliced, raw shallots release substances that irritate the eye, resulting in production of tears.
Shallots appear to contain more flavonoids and phenols than other members of the onion genus.[10]
Fresh shallots can be stored in cool, dry area (32 to 40 °F, 60 to 70% RH) for six months or longer.[11] Chopped, dried shallots are also available.[12]
In Europe, the Pikant, Atlas and Ed's Red types of shallots are the most common.[citation needed] In parts of southern France, the grey type is grown widely.[4]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (August 2012)
In Indian cuisines, the distinction between onions and shallots is weak; larger varieties of shallot are often confused with small red onions and used interchangeably. Indeed, most parts of India use the regional name for onion interchangeably with shallot (Maharashtra, for instance, where both are called kanda). The southern regions of India distinguish shallots from onions in recipes more often, especially the much loved tiny varieties (about the width of a finger); these are widely used in curries and different types of sambar, a lentil-based dish. Shallots pickled in red vinegar are common in many Indian restaurants, served along with sauces and papad on the condiments tray. Indians also use it[clarification needed] as a home remedy for sore throats, mixed with jaggery or sugar. In Nepal, shallots are used as one of the ingredients for making momo. In Kashmir shallots are widely used in preparation of Wazwan Kashmiri cuisine, as they add distinct flavour and prevents curry from getting black which is a common problem with the onions.
In Iran, shallots, called mousir (موسیر), are used in various ways, the most common being grated shallot mixed into dense yogurt, a combination served in almost every restaurant when one orders grills or kebabs. Shallots are also used to make different types of torshi (ترشی), a sour Iranian side dish consisting of a variety of vegetables under vinegar, eaten with main dishes in small quantities. Shallot is also pickled -called shour (شور) in Persian- along with other vegetables to be served as torshi.
In Southeast Asian cuisines, such as those of Brunei, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Indonesia, both shallots and garlic (bawang putih, white onions) are often used as elementary spices. Raw shallot can also accompany cucumbers when pickled in mild vinegar solution. It is also often chopped finely, then fried until golden brown, resulting in tiny crispy shallot chips called bawang goreng (fried onions) in Indonesian language, which can be bought ready-made from groceries and supermarkets. Shallots enhance the flavour of many Southeast Asian dishes, such as fried rice variants. Crispy shallot chips are also used in southern Chinese cuisine. In Indonesia, shallots are sometimes made into pickles that are added to several traditional foods; the pickles' sourness is thought to increase one's appetite.
It is one of the pungent vegetables generally avoided by Buddhist vegetarians.

I just found the new website of our illustrator. Isol lives in Buenos Aires and the last time we visited we bought some children's books of hers.
Google Adsense online
I've just added Google ads to a couple pages. It took quite a bit of fussing with the design, so I haven't finished updating all the pages.
Still in the process of finishing links, index and keywords. And I just started adding contributors.
Welcome to wallys.org!
This is the new home of Wally's Dictionary of Argentine Colloquialism and Culture. After a long hiatus, Wally is back! I got enough enthusiastic emails that I finally couldn't keep my hands off any longer.
Special thanks to Kristina Ross for the new design of the website. She contributed the initial design, but I'm building out and maintaining the site. So if you have any problems, that's due to my inexpert hand.
After getting the dictionary transferred to the new site, I'll be incorporating all the contributions that I've gotten. As always, comments and contributions are very welcome, and now I'll do my best to put them up as soon as I can. Everything is not in order, but it's at least as good as the old site was, so I figured it's time to let 'er rip!

Gettext does not parse non English strings
Hi all,
I've got an application where the default language are Greek (strings in source files) and using gettext trying to translate them in English.
If I set the default language to be the English then all texts are translated fine to Greek but when I set as default the Greek then nothing is translated over to English.
It seems that Gettext can only recognize English inside the source files (php) and not any other language.
Any ideas?

For the Colorado Rockies, the long-term plan at third base is pretty clear: Wait for Nolan Arenado and then let him be awesome. The 20-year-old was recently rated the No. 42 prospect in the league by Baseball America, and in 2011 he posted an .836 OPS in advanced-A.
But Arenado isn't ready yet, nor did the Rockies figure he would be. The Rockies needed a stopgap. In December, they figured that stopgap could be Casey Blake. It ain't gonna be Casey Blake.
Casey Blake was just released— Troy Renck, Rockies (@TroyRenck) March 27, 2012
Blake signed a $2 million contract with incentives, but that $2 million was non-guaranteed, so the Rockies are on the hook for only a fraction of that total. Truth be told, this wasn't hard to see coming. Blake's been bothered by continuing neck discomfort this spring, and he's batted 3-for-20 without a walk. Meanwhile, Jordan Pacheco has batted 17-for-39, while Chris Nelson has batted a not-terrible 12-for-45. Both of those guys are capable of manning the hot corner, and that's presumably what they'll do until Arenado forces his way up.
At 38, with no job and present health concerns, it's possible that Casey Blake has played his last game in the majors. If that's the case, he's done a hell of a job for a guy who didn't really break in until he was 29. His 167 career home runs are more than Tony Phillips and Pete Rose ever hit.

And at last we reach the last installment of the year-end lab notes for 2006. The previous posts dealt with infrastructure, servers, and network gear. I'm going to add a few notes to those categories, and finish up with workstations, testing tools, apps, PBXes and ISPs.
My main workstation is the homegrown Ultra 40 I built in May, running Fedora Core 5 x86_64. After six months of constant (ab)use, it's humming right along. At some point I'll update it to FC6, but not until it's absolutely required. I've found FC5 x86_64 to be stable and reliable, with only a few dependency glitches when installing packages with yum. I'm also using several quasi-compatible repos, so most of those are probably on me anyway.
The raw performance of this workstation is not to be dismissed. I'm routinely pushing the upper limits of the 8GB of RAM present in the system, as well as the disks. It's not just a pretty face, it's a solid workhorse.
As far as laptops go, with one exception, they're all G4 PowerBooks or MacBook Pros. I just received a new 17" MacBook Pro, and my initial impressions are positive. The screen is surprisingly light, and the hinges don't seem to be as tough as on my 15" PowerBook, which has caused a few issues, but performance-wise, it's a keeper. As Tom Yager told me awhile ago, once you get a 17" laptop, you can't go back. I think he's right.
The one exception is a Dell Latitude D800 running FC6. This laptop has definitely not had an easy life. It has traveled probably 50k miles in the air -- via FedEx -- as well as many thousands more a carry-on, been left running for weeks at a time in labs all over the country, and at one point in its life it was drafted into service as the core of an entire L3 city network when the production core switch developed a hardware problem. The embedded gigabit Broadcom NIC actually did surprisingly well at handling the load, as did the FC3 build that it was running at the time.
My lab is a bit limited in terms of locations and available services. Actually, very limited. Cable is my only non-TDM option, so RoadRunner it is. In the three-plus years the business-class service has been in, it's been exceedingly reliable and fast. The prices are right, the bandwidth is guaranteed, and the reality is that I've found that nothing else is required. It would be nice to see FIOS or even DSL availability to provide a backup circuit, but given RoadRunner's track record, I'm not worried.
