Across the River Tiber, Trastevere is a well-established 'boho chic' quarter, full of local character. The patchwork of tiny, cobbled streets houses many bars, good restaurants and buzzing nightlife spots. There is also a treasure trove of medieval churches. In its own piazza, the beautiful Santa Maria in Trastevere has shimmering golden mosaics and was probably Rome's first Christian basilica, founded in 222 AD.

Gravesend gymnast Lauren Lethbridge crowned British Senior Disabilities champion
11:53am Wednesday 12th December 2012 in News By Tim MacFarlan, reporter
A YOUNG Gravesend gymnast has vaulted her way to a national disabilities championship.
Lauren Lethbridge from the Meapa Gymnastics Club claimed the British 2012 Gymnastics Senior Disabilities title in Newcastle last month.
In her first year as a senior Lauren, aged 16, made a clean sweep at the competition, winning overall gold and taking four individual apparatus gold medals in the vault, asymmetric bars, beam and floor.
Lauren suffers from serious health conditions including a chronic lung disease that has required life support and gastro-intestinal failure which leaves her entirely dependent on a tube feed.
The Sutton Valence School, Maidstone pupil who lives in Bougthon Monchelsea has also undergone major surgery twice this year.
Her coaches John and Brenda Austin said: "We are very proud of Lauren's achievements which are a culmination of hard work and commitment in the gym despite the many health obstacles she has to overcome on a daily basis.
"Lauren produced clean, confident routines throughout the competition, displaying an exceptional level of artistry and elegance on beam and floor that earned her much deserved applause and praise."

Michael Turley sentenced to 2 weeks in jail for fake 'terrorist attack'
PHOENIX - A man accused of faking a terrorist attack has been sentenced to two weeks in jail and two years' supervised probation.
Michael David Turley, 40, videotaped his nephew dressed up in a cloth and waving a fake rocket launcher on a busy Phoenix street last July.
He was reportedly waiting to see how fast law enforcement would respond.
Police said they arrived about one minute after several 911 calls were made, but the video shows the fake "terrorist" walking the street for about 15 minutes.
When police arrived Turley admitted he and his nephew were making a movie, but didn't tell officers what the video was about.
He was not arrested at the time.
Turley was arrested in September , after the completed video showed up on YouTube and the nature of the video was revealed.
He was charged with giving a false impression of a terrorist act, endangerment, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and misconduct of simulated explosive devices.
During Thursday's sentencing, the judge threw out prison time and dropped a no-contact order with his nephew.
Turley must also avoid alcohol for the term of the probation.

Those who revere Linux can't imagine why Microsoft doesn't just give Windows a proper burial. After all, Linux is open, it's free, it performs beautifully on a wide range of hardware, and there is a massive library of open and commercial Linux software.
The debate about whether Linux is viable as a desktop OS has tapered off now that the KDE (kde.org) and Gnome (gnome.org) graphical
environments are on par with Windows. In the minds of open source zealots, it's absurd to pay for an operating system.
I have no doubt that Linux has a brilliant future in business — but not in the way some advocates expect. Those who want to understand Linux's potential role should recognize that, to business, Linux is a product. That it is open source software is of almost no consequence to IT. Quite the contrary, the success of business Linux will be
determined by commercial vendors' skill in minimizing the system's many low-level knobs, buttons, and commands that open source enthusiasts prize.
Do I advocate gutting something that draws much of its beauty from its breadth of functionality? Not in the least. Linux's ability to adapt to the personalities and specific needs of its users shouldn't be sacrificed to elevate its commercial appeal.
When adapting open source software for commercial use, there is always the risk that the vendor will equate functionality with complexity and complexity with customer intimidation. Vendors can't help but refer to Windows as the gold standard for the abstraction of complexity. In my view, except for desktop applications and metaphors, no commercial Linux or any competing OS should use Windows as a design blueprint. All administrative functions in Windows are a button or a checkbox away, but Microsoft had to limit Windows' functionality and flexibility to achieve consistent GUI management. Microsoft's fear of customer intimidation runs so deep that only a handful of administrative functions can be scripted; after all these years, management from the command line is still impossible. That's a problem that Microsoft will address in the upcoming .Net scripting facility, code-named Monad. But until then, Windows stands as the best example of how not to abstract operating system complexity.
To an extent, Linux frightens business users. They are no longer concerned about its stability or enterprise readiness, or about the availability of first-class support, training, and certification. Rather, businesses looking to get started with Linux or expand its role wrestle with a more basic question: Which of the thousands of components of Linux, including its enormous library of open source apps, would the IT staff have to master?
That's how commercial Linux vendors will earn their keep. Don't pull anything out of the OS to
reduce intimidation. Don't rip out any capabilities for fear that a timid user will stumble over them and think Linux is some kind of Frankenstein.
Instead, vendors should make the system's most-used capabilities more accessible and guide
customers through the process of deciding what they need to learn at each stage of development and deployment.
In addition, Vendors have other important responsibilities related to the distribution of updates and easy access to validated third-party software, which I'll address in next week's column.

Mailing List Etiquette
March 15th, 2006
We went through forum etiquette with the previous post, now let's talk about mailing list etiquette. The reason I decided to make this the next subject for the MetalAges blog is because I am currently dealing with a knucklehead band and am trying to get off of their mailing list.
Attention all bands. I, and many other site owners/people/labels etc., can appreciate the fact that you are trying to promote yourselves via any and all ways. However, there comes a time when you cross the line and your band falls into the category known as "annoying rumps." I'll use this current band as my example and explain. Note, I will not give their name as I don't want to give them any extra publicity, so from this point forward they are known as The Annoying Rumps.
Somehow I ended up on The Annoying Rumps mailing list. I'm usually very aware of whos and whats mailing list I sign up on, this one I am confident I did not sign up for.
Tip #1: Do not automatically add a person, site, label, etc. to your mailing list. Ask their permission. It doesn't take much effort and you will immediately gain the respect of the entity you are asking whether or not they accept your offer, they appreciate you asking.
In addition to now being on The Annoying Rumps mailing list I am now faced with trying to get off of it but there are no links to let me unsubscribe. Joy! I should also add that there are not just one list I was subscribed to, but two (or more?!) lists from this same band.
Tip #2: If you are going to run a mailing list, run a proper mailing list. Do not use an Outlook list, do not BCC (blind carbon copy) 20, 50, 500 people, do not CC (carbon copy)20, 50, 500 people. Run a mailing list with a program that is specifically designed for this purpose. There are a ton of them out there. Personally, I use PHPList. Keyword, it's FREE! I know bands like that word! If you want to get even more professional and have a few extra bucks (lots of additional features) then check out VerticalResponse. When you run a proper mailing list it gives the subscriber (or in this case the person who never intended to be subscribed) the opportunity to unsubscribe using links at the bottom of the email.
So here I am, faced with having to contact The Annoying Rumps and get off their list. Joy! I email them and nicely ask to be removed from their list. I never hear back. I get another email in the meantime promoting some new shows or something of theirs. I email them again, asking nicely, to be removed. I never hear back, yet I receive another email a couple days later (heck, it may have been THE next day). No reply. A few days later, here comes another email. You get the picture. It's incredibly frustrating at this point, and you can bet your butt I will not promote, purchase or do jack to help this band at any point in the future! Luckily I run my own dedicated server so my next step will be to ask them one more time, not so nicely, and if they continue to send me emails…well, I will just block them from my server completely (along with about 50 other band/music sites).
Tip #3: Do not ignore unsubscribe requests if you were inconsiderate enough to manually add someone to your list. Karma will bite you in the ass!
While I was preparing this blog post for the site…guess what I received from yet another band? A mailing list email! A band whos list I did not sign up for that has decided I must receive their emails. This is the absolute worst kind too, a CC email. I can see every single person this was sent to. Absolutely ridiculous. What could make this worse? I received three of the same email! Lord have mercy!
UPDATE: Right after I posted this, guess what?! Another band who added me to their list. A BCC list - and of course, to make it worse, I received two copies!

Published in the February 28, 2008, issue of Energy Central's EnergyPulse, by Kevin T. McDonald, Senior NERC Cyber Security Analyst at ICF International. The electric utility industry is facing the daunting task of compliance with the rigorous North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) critical infrastructure protection (CIP) physical and electronic security standards. Formulated to mitigate the threat of damage or disruption to the U.S. and Canadian Power Grid, these standards were formally adopted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in early 2008 and are now mandatory. This article demonstrates methods to reduce the impact of compliance by identifying and incorporating existing controls into the NERC CIP Framework.

- What are the components of the Democratic Party? How do they work together?
- Presidential nomination process reform. How is the nominee selected? What are the goals of the process? Should the goals be changed?
- Relationships with Third Parties and Third Individuals
- [From Kimberly Stone 11/15/04] This is, IMNRHO, the best thing we could achieve at this conference. I have been truly inspired by what I've seen other Democrats say on this Blog about why we're not winning, what we need to do to win. There have been exceptional remarks in many threads that touch upon both our purpose, principles and policy, and strategery to win elections. Our Kosvention Compact would incorporate all the other topics, and be basically our mission statement for what we as individuals do, what we might do collectively as Kossacks, and what we'd like the Democratic party to do. It'll be awhile yet (maybe 3 years?) before the Party Machinery actually votes on a new platform, but it's not too soon to start articulating these ideas, getting them out in the open, getting them to the grassroots. Finally, if we get a good Dem in as a speaker (Howard Dean?) then we need to present this to him/her as our list of reasonable demands. ;-)
Splitting Republican's the unholy alliance. How to drive a wedge between fiscal conservatives, corporatists and evangelicals. How to identify, discuss, and drive wedges. Examples evangelicals' position on privacy/abortion/birth control an anathema to fiscal conservatives.

I think there are enough resources in the dKos community to put together our own Camp Wellstone-ish weekend. Of course, as a Camp alum, I highly recommend it, too...

Covenant Health System hosted a dedication ceremony and open house Thursday afternoon for the newly remodeled orthopedic unit.
The 30-bed orthopedic unit includes a new gym facility featuring specialized equipment for the care of orthopedic patients.
"The Covenant orthopedic staff is excited to provide our patients with an upgraded facility where they can focus on their full recovery in a truly healing environment," Karen Dean, R.N., B.S.N, nurse manager of orthopedics at Covenant Health System, said. "Orthopedic care at Covenant takes a multidisciplinary approach which helps our patients achieve their personal goals for recovery. The renovated unit allows us to better meet our patients' needs at the end of the day."
Care is directed by the orthopedic physicians who work with a highly trained professional nursing and therapy staff as well as an interdisciplinary team including a case manager, social worker, dietitian, documentation specialist and pharmacist.
The unit provides care for a wide range of orthopedic patients from elective bone surgeries to trauma injuries.
The unit also features a special program for hip and knee replacement patients called Joint Ranch. This unique program operates like a summer camp, helping patients to progress through the joint replacement experience in a group setting.
Participants attend a pre-operative educational class at the Joint Ranch, then return after their surgery to participate in three to five days of group therapy and rehabilitation. A family member or friend acts as a coach through the process to ensure the patient has ample assistance once he or she returns home.
"Joint Ranch is beneficial to patients because they are fully educated on what to expect prior to surgery. Following surgery, they have the opportunity to interact and recover with other patients who have experienced similar procedures," Dean said. "The patients actually motivate each other as they journey through the recovery process."
The orthopedics unit is located on South 6 at Covenant Medical Center. The remodeled unit will officially open on Monday, Aug. 29.

Predictably, the Americans started the game off on a furious pace and put Zachary Fucale to the test 16 times in the first period. Fucale stood tall, keeping the Canadians in the game. He also pulled off a highlight reel save.
The USA dominated the period, and did not allow any high scoring chances until the final minutes of the 1st. The Matteau-Copp-Fasching line was flying for the Americans, and seemed to create scoring chances at will. Not only was Team USA faster, but they played a puck possession system which completely frustrated Canadian defenders.
Thankfully for Canada, and thanks to Fucale, the period ended in a 0-0 tie.
The second period was a completely different tale, as Canada outshot the Americans 11-6. Fucale's big glove save in the first seemed to inspire Team Canada, as they carried the play after the huge stop.
Unfortunately for Fucale, he was confused by some good behind the net presence by Riley Barber, and allowed a wrap-around goal early in the period. This would be the only negative blip on the Canadian radar.
Anthony Mantha, ever the offensive presence, managed to dangle the American defenders and send the puck to Nic Petan as he was falling to the ice, for an easy tap in goal.
Canada countered the American speed by working off the cycle, and getting the puck down low. It's clear that the Americans are much better skaters, but Canada's intensity was too much for Team USA in the second period.
Must Reads
Canada also increased their physical presence in the game, managing to throw their weight around versus a seemingly stronger American team.
The third period started in much the same way the second went, with Canada applying a strong cycle game to counter the American speed.
Young phenom Connor McDavid gave Canada the lead on a strong play in front of the net. Kerdiles ran interference on his own goalie, and allowed the 16 year old to pounce on his own rebound.
Ottawa draft pick Curtis Lazar gave Canada an insurance goal with 15 minutes left in the third period, which seemed to be enough to put the game out of reach for the Americans, however Matt Pelech had other plans.
Fucale failed to secure the puck on a relatively routine save, and Pelech pushed it into the Canadian net to cut the Canadian lead to one . Steffan Matteau was credited with the goal.
Zachary Fucale was clearly the best player in the game, keeping Canada from getting blown out early, and stopping endless odd-man rushes that were created by Team USA's superior speed. He saved the win by stopping Carrick on a breakaway in the dying minutes of the game.
It's no surprise that Fucale is now the bonafide #1 goalie for Team Canada, and he probably should have been from the start.
Canada will most likely play Switzerland in the quarter finals, avoiding the stronger opponent in Team Russia, who will face the Americans.
The statistical game summary is available here.

PEORIA, Ill -- While they do serve a purpose of swaying people to vote for certain candidates, there are some important guidelines you need to know.
Peoria City officials say political signs in residential areas cannot be bigger than eight square feet.
For non-residential areas, signs cannot be bigger than 32 square feet.
Officials say there is no limit on the amount of signs you may have, but there is a time limit for non-residential properties.
"They have to be taken down seven days after the election. For residential properties, because of a change in state law a couple years, ago, there's actually no time limit, so if you want to leave up your campaign sign 365 days a year, then that's fine," said Peoria Acting Planning Director Ross Black.
Officials say political signs are not allowed in the public right of way and will be removed by city officials.
If you believe a particular sign is illegal, contact the Peoria Planning and Zoning Department at 672-6915.

Peace has been a very strong energy in my awareness lately. On Saturday night, a group of us got together for our first annual 'Drumming For Health and Peace'. It was a wonderful experience that we all enjoyed immensely. We spent a full hour drumming while focusing on peace and healing for those who had requested it.
The next day, a discussion began about the impossibility of world peace. Many feel that it is a pipe dream, something that is unattainable. I have also seen lots of discussions on Facebook about peace lately.
In reality, we cannot create peace. Peace is something that is inside of us. It is either there, or it isn't. It isn't something that we can create, or bring into being.
It is already there, inside of us, waiting for us to discover it.
We cannot create peace. We can only look within ourselves, within our heart, and find where we have stored it, where we have hidden it. It is up to us to discover the peace that is within each of us, dust it off, and learn to live it.
Living peace can be very difficult in our chaotic world. This has been shown to me through a personal relationship lately. When someone is pushing your buttons, it is very hard to stay peaceful.
We must all practice living our lives from this state of peace no matter what is going on in the world around us. This is spoken of in the Bible as being 'of this world, but not in it'. We must learn to stay in a state of peace irregardless of how chaotic the world gets around us.
Our world is getting more chaotic daily. We are moving into even more chaotic energy which could bring more financial issues, food shortages, more natural disasters and more man-made disasters.
It is important for humanity as a whole that we learn to stay centered in the 'peace that surpasses all understanding'. As the world falls apart around us, we will be able to move through it easier if we can stay peaceful and open to divine guidance at all times. This will allow us to be where we need to be, doing what we need to be doing at all times.
Finding the peace within is what will allow us to live our lives as divinity at all times.

Hollande: Sarkozy at 'fault' over far-right success
I am not going to seek out voters from the extreme right, I won't try to seduce them. The far right has strong support at the moment and that's the fault of Nicolas Sarkozy.
But some voters voted for the far right because they're angry (at Sarkozy). They are the voters who I want to hear from.

"I feel like I came home. I didn't know anything about him, so I watched some of his fight videos and learned that he was a good striker. I want to make full use of my experience and give my best. I was a lack of training last year, but I seem to be myself again at last. I'm going to enjoy fighting and have a good fight tomorrow."
Takashi Nakakura:
"He is a well-experienced fighter for sure, but so what? His experience doesn't mean anything to me. Needless to say, he is one of the top fighters. Even though I'm the current world champion, he is more famous than me. This fight means a lot to me and will be my turning point . Whatever the commissioner said, I have decided to return my belt if I lose."
Takeshi "Lion" Inoue:
"If I hadn't seen Rumina Sato fighting in Shooto, I wasn't here now. I understand many fans want to see him wear the belt; however, I'm not going to give him a chance to be a champion. I defeat him, and my ear starts tomorrow."
Rumina Sato:
"His fighting style is not appealing, but he is a very strong fighter. We have trained together once or twice a week for several years. I thought that I was still stronger first several years, but I felt that recently it was reversed. He is younger and grows faster. I'm going to be aggressive from the beginning tomorrow."

RICHARDSON -- Life as a Marine taught Jason Arwine to adapt, overcome, and endure; training that came in handy for a startling medical diagnosis two years ago, at the age of 33.
"Young early onset Parkinson's disease," Arwine said. "Military prepares you for quite a lot, but not this particular instance, in this case."
Medication helps control his tremors. Voice therapy helps strengthen his speech, something his fiancée had noticed was slipping.
"I would have a hard time hearing what he was saying or he would mumble," Heather Shotwell said. "So I would have to ask him, 'What did you just say?' And have to ask him repeat himself."
"Parkinson's affects the movements of the muscles over the whole body," said Kay Wiley, a speech language pathologist, "including the muscles of speech and swallowing."
Wiley said 90 percent of Parkinson's patients eventually develop difficulty with speech.
Therapy at the Parkinson's Voice Project in Richardson teaches patients to speak with intention. The mission of the non-profit organization is "to preserve the voices of individuals with Parkinson's and related neurological disorders through intensive voice therapy, follow up support, research, education, and community awareness."
"My voice has gotten a lot better than it was," said Arwine, who is just a month into the voice lessons. "A lot less leaning in, a lot less confused looks, a lot less, 'Hey, can you repeat yourself?' or 'Huh?' So that's improved quite a bit."
Thanks to voice therapy, Jason Arwine hopes to say the two most important words of intent of his life to his fiancée, Heather, at their wedding.
"I do," he said firmly.

MaxWest Environmental Systems Makes Commitment to Clinton Global Initiative
22 September 2011
SANFORD, Florida (September 22, 2011) MaxWest Environmental Systems, Inc., the industry leader in biogasification systems for the wastewater treatment industry, was recognized on stage yesterday at the Clinton Global Initiative's (CGI) Seventh Annual Meeting in New York City for its Commitment to Action, "Landfill Reduction through Biosolids Processing." MaxWest's commitment was selected as an exemplary approach to addressing challenges in environment and energy. The company is pleased to announce that it will shortly implement the MaxWest Biogasification System at two new MaxWest facilities in the U.S. and China. This will avoid landfilling approximately 100,000 tons per year of biosolids waste, benefiting more than 376,000 people in the surrounding areas.
Established in 2005 by President Bill Clinton, CGI convenes global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges. Each CGI member creates a Commitment to Action — a concrete plan to address a major global challenge.
The MaxWest commitment includes the expansion of its operations through the construction of two facilities that process biosolids waste using the MaxWest Biogasification System, providing a sustainable method for the management of biosolids waste while avoiding landfilling the energy-rich material. The facilities in Maine, USA, and Guangdong Province, China, are expected to be commercially operational in the fourth quarter of 2012, supporting both permanent jobs at the facilities as well as temporary jobs during their construction.
"We are deeply honored to be distinguished by the Clinton Global Initiative for our commitment, which is the practical result of the recognized need for alternative biosolids management solutions in the wastewater treatment industry," said Ross M. Patten, chief executive officer of MaxWest Environmental Systems. "We are eager to build these facilities to tackle the twin challenges of limited biosolids disposal options coupled with rising economic costs for biosolids processing."
The MaxWest commitment to build the additional facilities continues the company's progress in landfill diversion, reduced transportation emissions, decreased fossil fuel consumption, and optimized operating costs for municipal wastewater treatment. MaxWest's first commercial-scale facility — in Sanford, Florida — offers a safe, cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to incineration, landfill or land application of biosolids. This proven technology captures the energy contained in biosolids and recycles it for use on site, while reducing the volume of the incoming material by over 90 percent. Prior to the MaxWest Biogasification System, there were almost no options to address the challenges of biosolids management in an environmentally sustainable manner.
A photo of MaxWest's commitment announcement at the CGI meeting is downloadable at http://www.flickr.com/photos/cgiphotos/6172879504/in/photostream. A video of the entire "Waste to Wealth" session is on Livestream at http://bit.ly/ohtKkF and will be posted on the CGI YouTube page at http://www.youtube.com/cgivideos.
About MaxWest Environmental Systems, Inc.
MaxWest Environmental Systems, Inc. is the industry leader in biogasification systems for the wastewater treatment industry. Based in Sanford, Florida, MaxWest's experienced management team is deploying a technology that revolutionizes the method by which municipalities and industry convert their abundant waste into a valuable resource, by reclaiming the energy inherent in the product and using it on site to displace fossil fuels. MaxWest currently is pursuing both bid and merchant projects throughout the US and international markets, with a Design, Build, Own and Operate ("DBOO") business model. MaxWest is a privately held company that has received venture funding from Invesco Plc and Leaf Clean Energy Company. Additional information can be found at www.maxwestenergy.com.
About the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI)
Established in 2005 by President Bill Clinton, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) convenes global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges. Since 2005, CGI Annual Meetings have brought together nearly 150 current and former heads of state, 18 Nobel Prize laureates, hundreds of leading CEOs, heads of foundations, major philanthropists, directors of the most effective nongovernmental organizations, and prominent members of the media. These CGI members have made nearly 2,000 commitments, which have already improved the lives of 300 million people in more than 180 countries. When fully funded and implemented, these commitments will be valued in excess of $63 billion.
This year, CGI also convened CGI America, a meeting focused on developing ideas for driving economic growth in the United States. The CGI community also includes CGI U, which hosts an annual meeting for undergraduate and graduate students, and CGI Lead, which engages a select group of young CGI members for leadership development and collective commitment-making.

Folks in Fitzgerald not only quenched their thirst on Friday, but they also helped kids in their thirst for knowledge.
Second grader Nate and kindergartner Natalee Phillips go to school at Irwin County Elementary.
Nate wanted to help kids his age, so they got their mother, Ashley to help them set up a lemonade stand outside their grandparents' home in Fitzgerald.
"Well my mama thought about selling pumpkins and all and I was like it's out of season and all and I asked her about selling lemonade," said Nate.
Nate and Natalee have raised $450 so far.
The money will be used to buy backpacks for young students in Irwin and Ben Hill Counties.

President Barack Obama spent Wednesday promoting the
Affordable Care Act to Texans.
"Ultimately, all the politics, all the chatter sometimes
leaves out the fact that the system we had – the status quo – just wasn't

The president spoke to volunteers and supporters at a Dallas

"It's like having a great product in the stores and cash
registers don't work, or there aren't enough parking spaces or people can't get
through the door."
He praised the mayor of Dallas for helping people sign up
for the affordable care act. He also called on Texas Governor Rick Perry to
expand Medicaid for the millions of uninsured Texans.
Governor Perry responded by saying, "President Obama

care plan could keep it, but millions of Americans are now discovering that
simply isn't true."
Congressman Louie Gohmert brought his opinions on the
Affordable Care Act to East Texas, defending the Republican party's stall on
capitol hill.
"When you know how dramatically people are adversely affected,
do you want to let people suffer and maybe even die? We felt like we had to try
and put it off, you just really couldn't, in good conscience, not try to
suspend it," Gohmert said.
Both parties are reaching for the same large audience,
bringing very different messages.

A jogger in Vancouver said she fought back after she was groped by a teenage boy.
Priscilla Dang told Fox 12 she was running along Padden Parkway near Andresen Road last Friday evening when she was attacked from behind.
"I realized what happened, and I went after the guy that groped me," said Dang. "Pretty much what I wanted was to confront them, and let them know it's not okay, not right."
Dang, who said she has a background in martial arts, said the confrontation became physical. She said she was also verbally harassed by the teens.
Another person passing by saw the situation and stopped to break it up, according to the Clark County Sheriff's Office, whose deputies were called to the scene.
The 18-year-old suspect involved was booked on a charge of assault in the fourth degree, a misdemeanor, according to a sheriff's spokesman. The 16-year-old boy was released to his parents, and charges will be considered by a juvenile prosecutor.
No one was hurt. The Sheriff's Office urges people to avoid physical confrontation with suspects.

Oracle Universal Content Management lives up to the name
Oracle UCM 10g R3 scores high with Microsoft integration, comprehensive search, and new Ajax tool for organizing Web sites
Workflows, both simple and complex, are developed with a similar visual process. For my Web site test, I routed paged edits through a legal department; requests appeared in an attorney's Workflow Inbox in Content Server, and the person also received e-mail notifications.
Oracle Universal Content Management is a deep product, and I've only touched on the main new features. When I step back and examine the overall architecture, it too makes a lot of sense for large enterprises. For instance, UCM records management and rights management can be applied to your other systems, such as file servers and e-mail archives. In itself, this could simplify information administration throughout an organization and reduce costs.
Although implementing a full UCM system would be a large undertaking, Oracle has turned Universal Content Management into a better, more open product that's certainly competitive with the other main ECM vendors: EMC Documentum, IBM FileNet, Interwoven, and OpenText. Of the open source CMS products, Alfresco comes closest to Oracle UCM, though I believe UCM is superior in most areas, especially usability and security.

Unfortunately there's no way around it. This was the year where Otis and Mr. DeVos went for the jugular - we traded the mercurial point-forward for the hometown kid, GM matches an offer sheet for the backup center, brought in a championship backup PG, got ourselves a big body PF and a tough SF. All for naught.
I know Ben's gonna have a few threads about this topic. But I'm just really disappointed how we floundered in the end.
Championship or bust. That's what us fans have been saying all season. Now we don't have no championship (sic)

Novell Reorganizes
In January 2010 Novell will consolidate four business units down to two and eventually say farewell to managers Jeff Jaffee and Roger Levy.
The new Security, Management and Operating Platforms business unit will absorb three others, the current Identity and Security Management (ISM), Systems and Resource Management (SRM) and Open Platform Solutions (OPS) units. Jim Ebzery will take over as SVP and GM.
Colleen O'Keefe, currently SVP of Global Services, will take over as SVP and GM of the new Collaboration Solutions unit responsible for Novell's Workgroup and Services businesses. Joe Wagner will slip into the role of SVP and GM of Global Alliances, the unit whereby Novell establishes strategic partnerships and collaborative efforts with cloud computing, infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and telecommunication providers. The three managers will report to Novell president and CEO Ron Hovsepian.
In lower management roles, Markus Rex will act as GM of the OPS product lines, which also encompass the Linux business, and report to Jim Ebzery. Two senior managers will be leaving the company: current CTO Jeff Jaffee will stay on until February 2010 in an advisory role, and Roger Levy, most recently SVP of strategic development. If the restructuring has larger human resource implications is not something Novell is currently revealing.
Novell re-org
Most people at Novell are saying good riddance to Roger and Jaffe. What did they do except suck up a lot of money is what we have all been asking.

They have it all and they know it all, except for some days, when you wonder if they actually have a soul. He used to be the precious and admiring little person who wrote sweet letters to Santa at this time of year, but those days are long gone. What to get the teen who already has all the game consoles and every gadget to ever begin with a lower case "i?" Here are just a few, simple ideas.
10) A personalized copy of the US Tax Code. Because she already knows it all, you really need something substantial, and the tax code is so long, no one actually knows how many pages it is. That is, until now, because she will! Whether it's 16, 34 or 71 thousand, a tagged and ribboned copy of these 30 something million words is sure to impress her when she unwraps it on Christmas morning.
9) An amp. This gift only works if said teen possesses not the instruments or stereos or any device to which an amp may be connected; and preferably if he has no musical ability or inclination whatsoever. And nothing will date you, mom and dad, like scratching a number 11 on the dial (but on the other hand, maybe that joke actually is immortal).
8) Certificate of adoption. Easy to counterfeit and especially hilarious if you make the biological mother's name Rosemary. Nothing says Merry Christmas quite like disrupting every belief they knew to be true--everyone needs a good shake-up now and then, right? Be careful, however, as this choice could backfire. Your teen may actually be relieved to learn that you're not related--in which case, you'll have to be sure you can quickly produce a copy of their genuine birth certificate to cut them right back down to to their true DNA sequencing. Download, complete and print an adoption certificates here.
7) A new wardrobe in two words: estate sale. You know you've always wanted to go to one anyway, there's something so fascinating about auctions isn't there? Here's your excuse—she may want Abercrombie, but you hate the mall, so she'll have to make do with the double knit polyester pull-ons and smoky cardigans of the recently deceased. Retirement homes are a great source for estate sales (or at least, that's where my mom used to shop for me).
6) A job. You've made a few connections over the years, and nothing says I love you quite like a little nepotism. But be sure the employment you secure for your teen serves to your benefit. I hear the mining industry in Chile needs help. For visa information contact these guys at the D.C. embassy or refer to #5 on this list.
5) A gift certificate for legal representation. You know it's coming, eventually—those pesky DUIs, disorderly conducts and general recklessness and transient associations to WikiLeaks. So pick a lawyer, preferably criminal (or even immigration, see above), and let your teen know he never has to worry again! Be sure you impart your desire for him to call THE NUMBER ON THE CARD from jail at 2 a.m., and not the home phone. Finding a lawyer is pretty easy, and one who will take your money before you even hire them can't be too obscure. Jump aboard the state bar association's handy-dandy Illinois Lawyer Finder by clicking here.
4) A student loan. So what if she hasn't gone to college yet? You're not sure if she's even going to make it that far. Even a state school wouldn't do all the teaching you've done for the last decade plus for free. According to the USDA, an average 16-year-old costs her suburban, Midwestern parents $12,000 a year, and that's just until she turns 17. Pretty similar to the average, yearly public college expenditure...so why not start early? Let her know she won't be getting out of lifelong payment plans and interest rates just by skipping college, and stuff a modified FAFSA in her stocking with a note that says, "Merry Christmas, honey. You owe me."
3) The world's tiniest violin. Got a drama queen? No more excuses. Really--it's an app for iPhone, and you can buy her one here. You're welcome.
2) A governess. Why did this tradition ever go out of style? I would have given anything for an umbrella-toting governess when I was a kid, and then as a teenager, I would have given anything to keep the idea in the 19th century where it died. Now that I'm a parent, an omnipotent chaperone seems quite possibly like the most fantastic idea ever devised. If money is no object, she should look and act as much like Julie Andrews as possible, and preferably, deliver all instructions and punishments through song...but choose carefully, some seem to have a penchant for covering-up for their charges when they sneak out to see their Nazi boyfriends during thunderstorms. She should also be eligible to work in Chile (see #6).
1) Coal. Just because it's a classic, and I love the word "coal" and think it should be used as frequently as linguistically possible. Make sure to threaten him with the traditional "coal in the stocking" often in the weeks leading up to the big day, too. Then, on Dec. 26, when he's already misplaced his coal, tell him you can no longer afford the Nicor bill, just to show him how lucky he really was. Coal in a bag is available here.

You've probably never seen a groundbreaking for a fish farm in Nebraska.
"It's kind of an exciting thing to think about, raising local fish and being able to sell it to the local markets," said Lance Hedquist, city administrator for South Sioux City.
Right now, Cardinal Farms primarily focuses on produce like cucumbers and tomatoes, but come next winter, they hope to have this ground transformed into an enclosed fish farm operation.
"While it's going to be outdoors, it's going to be almost a greenhouse type of atmosphere," said Hedquist.
The operation will have twelve 10,000 gallon tanks, with the goal to raise up to 170,000 pounds of fish each year. About a year ago, South Sioux City wanted to start a mass project with fish, algae and a new sewer system, but Cardinal Farms CEO Doug Garwood took the first step forward, as the other two parties continue to do research.
"Clearly, he's done his own homework and he knows the project can stand alone, by itself. It's only going to be enhanced by changes, as others become involved," said Hedquist.
"When they are ready to roll that out to a commercial project, the South Sioux City area will be at the front of the list," said Garwood.
South Sioux City leaders say the delay could actually make the project a little bit better. They've already changed from tilapia to a hybrid striped bass.
"These fish spend their whole life swimming against a current, exercising. So, what you get is a very firm, clean, clean-tasting, fresh fish," said Garwood.
And, as the dirt gets turned, Garwood says the fish farm will only make the produce better.
"We'll be capturing the exhaust from the fish building and introducing it to the tomatoes, which will save on heating costs and enhance the production of the tomatoes," said Garwood.
If all goes well, Garwood hopes to double the size of his operation after the first year. He says the expansion could potentially include raising shrimp.

You all don't know these dudes and what they are capable of. You have to know the streets to even come close to understanding just how dangerous the American prison system is. These inmates aren't your average good ol' hometown boy wrestlers that aren't really going to do shit when they see you, these dudes are some straight up fucking killers. If they say something, they're going to do it. If they want that ass, they're going to get it.
When they find out Thiago is a "professional fighter" they're going to want to test him, and even further make an example out of him. Send a message to everyone else on the outside who thinks they have a status, they better think twice before getting locked up like they're some sort of bonafide hardass. If I were friends with Thiago I would tell him to shed that image stat. That throat slashing shit he does, isn't going to fly up in that bitch I'll tell you that much right now. Even the not so established inmates are going to be looking at Thiago to make a name for themselves and climb the prison ranks because tbh they're the true baddest dudes on the planet. It's where the men are separated from the boys. That's why I can't take UFC rankings and all their hype that seriously, because the baddest mofos in the prison system aren't taken into account. Seriously, Jon Jones would get his young lil pretty boy ass violated and ravaged on night 1 if he had to do any hard time for that DUI. That's why if UFC wants those true titles, they have to work with prisons around the country to scout out real fighters and help those prisoners get work release permits to fight in the UFC.
Can you imagine if they did? Some of those savages would fucking wreck house like it was nobodies business. Thiago Silva may be scary to the civilized world, but the prison system is a whole nother animal. And his little wannabe mean-mugging tough guy image isn't going to work in the pin, nor will it be tolerated. In fact, it will only make him a target.
Not only that, but they're right at home in the cell block of their 6x8 cells. Thiago is used to fighting in the open area of the Octagon with a ref to save him if anything goes wrong. These guys actually live in a cage for real. If he's trapped in the same cell with a top ranked gang member that is a true HW, then he's at an automatic disadvantage. Technicality flies right out the window at that point, they could manhandle him and bash his head into the concrete wall or stomp him into the cement flooring, what's he going to do and where is he going to go? Those prison guards will make Mazagatti look like a god damn guardian angel with how long they'll take to get to his remains. Above all he's got to be extremely wary of the smaller dudes looking for clout, they could melt and fuse plastic spoons together to sharpen the handles to make a dagger and shank him when they catch him slippin on the prison yard.
But even then, let's say Thiago does hold his own and thrashes the first couple dudes that are sent at him. But thats a mistake in itself right there, he should just take his ass whoopen like a man because the next time they put the hit out on him, it'll be one of the head honchos paying him a visit, and they won't fuck around with him at that point. They'll send homeboy in jacked up on PCP and I don't give a shit if its Cain Velasquez, he's getting jammed through the cell bars and coming out the other side in pieces like he just got done going through a paper shredder. One of those mofos hiked up on PCP has the strength of 4 Brock Lesnars. You can't train for that shit. And I've seen enough interviews of inmates to know they can get any drug they want in there. So TRT ain't got shit on PCP.
But that's besides the point. Fact of the matter is those dudes don't give a fuck about his training, they don't give a rats ass about what he does or what he's been doing. They'll tell him to GTFOH with that gay ass karate shit and proceed to fuck him up the ass. That might not make sense, but if you've ever watched Lockdown on msnbc, then you know that would make Thiago gay, not them. Which ultimately, makes him their bitch. So don't be surprised when Thiago comes out looking all sketchy and a shell of his former self, both physically and mentally. That is if he ever even makes it out of prison at all. Brazilians are a minority in the US prison system, meaning he has no group to run with and protect him.
In other words, he's fucked.
