Fox 26 news has learned a Montgomery County court employee has been arrested in a child sex investigation case.
Investigators say they discovered 50 year old Donald Edward Huse searching online for sex with a child.
Officials from the Montgomery County District Attorney's office say Huse agreed to meet up with a 16 year old boy at the courthouse in a restroom for sex...that boy was actually an investigator.
Assistant District Attorney Warren Diepraam also says the other strange twist to this story is Huse's job.
He worked as a staffer in Montgomery County's DWI court in Conroe but arrest records show he has a felony DWI conviction from 2009.
Investigators are not sure how he slipped through the cracks...However, while working for the county he only used his middle name.
We also found records with the Texas Education Agency that show Huse was a teacher in the Spring Independent School District.
His teaching certificate was suspended in 2011 for 3 years after a series of arrests including the DWI, deadly conduct, and evading arrest.
Huse is charged with online solicitation of a minor and is being held on a $250,000 bond at the Montgomery County Jail.

Two Oceans Half Marathon
Old Mutual Two Oceans Half Marathon is the shorter "brother" of the World Famous Old Mutual Two Oceans Marathon Ultra race. The 21kms race is a very popular option for those wanting a shorter distance and not so many hills and in recent years the Half Marathon has grown in popularity and often sells out early. The races take place in Cape Town, South Africa over Easter weekend and they're suitable for runners, families and friends. Opportunities to extend and holiday in South Africa before returning home are endless.
Click here for details of the Old Mutual Two Oceans Ultra Distance marathon
The natural beauty of Cape Town and its fantastic diverse culture makes it one of the most attractive cities in the world. Cape Town boasts beautiful coastline and beaches. Impressive Table Mountain right in the heart of the city. The restaurants are world class, and so are the wines. There is so much to see and do in Cape Town. The average temperature of 23 degrees in April makes the climate perfect to combine 'The World's Most Beautiful Marathon' with a fascinating holiday in South Africa.
Half marathon route
The Two Oceans half marathon route starts along the same route as the Ultra distance for a period of time, before turning left and cutting across country and then finishing along the same final section as the full Ultra distance.
The Half Marathon Route is quite flat for the first 10 kilometres, and then starts to climb quickly as one approaches Southern Cross Drive. From Rhodes Drive it is undulating until the finish at UCT.
International Friendship Run
For the fifth year running, the International Friendship Run (IFR) will take place on Good Friday morning, marathoners from all around the world are invited to come along and have a leisurely 5km jog or walk. The International Friendship Run takes participants on a scenic route through the city centre past historical landmarks and key points of interest. Pre-appointed flag bearers will gather at the start with flags from each country and participants are encouraged to gather around their respective flags and to wear their national colours.

Wow! That is a great dress and looks FANTASTIC! You do LOOK rich! I looked at those Onion patterns after you said about them but now you have said about the instructions I don't think I could get one - I have Greek and English so the Nordic languages would be impossible!ReplyDelete

Languages are strange... I live in Brazil and, here, we speak Portuguese. The entire world thinks we speak spanish... but no, it is portuguese. And although both languages came from latin, like french and italian, they 4 are very different... In portuguese we can say the vowels opened or closed but in spanish they don't make any difference.ReplyDelete
Lovely dress, lovely print, gorgeous work.
Feliz 2012! (Happy..).
Fabulous. The black and white print is perfect for the dress. Very sophisticated.ReplyDelete

I've never been much of a joiner. As a girl I didn't even enjoy Girl Scouts that much.
And as a journalist I've had to avoid joining clubs and organizations. Might have to write a story about them one day, and that would be a conflict of interest.
Three weeks after I had to put down my border collie, Scoop, I took in another rescue border collie, a 7-month-old female given to me by a university student.
Where Scoop was bold and almost fearless, Bixie is timid and overly cautious.
One of the coolest, make-you-smile-events I've covered is the Reclaim-to-Wear + Found Object Fashion Show, the culmination of the Art 299 course at the University of Illinois, taught by Susan Becker.
If you can't make a dinner at Prairie Fruits Farm in rural C-U, head to Zionsville, Ind., just north of Indianapolis for a meal at Traders Point Creamery.
Does art historian Jonathan Fineberg ever let up?
The University of Illinois prof is now in China with UI prof Gary Xu. Both are guests of the "Reshaping History" exhibition at the National Convention Center in Beijing.
As a University of Illinois student in the '70s, I was privileged to take a photography course with Professor Art Sinsabaugh, who enjoyed an international reputation, particularly for his large-format, black-and-white photographs of Chicago and the Midwest landscape.
During Roger Ebert's Film Festival I skipped "Apocalypse Now Redux" to visit the annual Artists Against Aids show and sale, in a new location this year.
Roger Ebert's Film Festival this year had a distinct international flavor, in more ways than one.
Two of the 13 films in the 2010 Roger Ebert's Film Festival offered starkly contrasting views of Los Angeles — sides of life that most of us Midwesterners never see.
Among the Ebertfest guests on stage with writer-director Charlie Kaufman on Friday night at the Virginia Theatre was a critic with an impressive pedigree and resume.

Some patients of the endoscopy clinics under investigation aren't just worried about being exposed to hepatitis C and HIV, they need to find a new specialist and fast.
Some patients only went to these clinics once or twice but others were recurring patients of the clinic doctors and went there regularly for check-ups. Now many don't know where to turn for help.
Imagine living with constant stomach pain. It's a reality for 67-year-old Margaret Chapman. She has an illness that causes polyps to form in her stomach and it intensifies with stress.
"It's really bad nausea. You feel like you are going to do die. It's just awful," she said.
For several years, Chapman has had those polyps removed at the Endoscopy Center. She needs them removed again, but with her medical records seized by Metro and the clinic offices empty, Chapman is lost.
"It's very frustrating. I don't know what to do. I'm scared to death," she said.
Getting in to see a new specialist might take some time. Gastroenterologist Julian Lopez's office has been flooded with calls from potential new patients. Since the hepatitis exposure was announced last month, Dr. Lopez has seen 15 to 20 new patients a day.
"We are having to work longer hours, even consider working on a Saturday. Patients need help. They need to be evaluated," he said.
If it's an emergency, Dr. Lopez says he tries to see the patient immediately. If not, it's over a two week wait. Other gastroenterologists in town are seeing wait times as long as five weeks.
Getting prescriptions filled is another concern for recurring patients of the clinics. You get a busy signal when you call the clinics.
The Nevada Board of Pharmacists says in many cases, prescriptions can be refilled for one month to hold patients over. If you can't wait, Dr. Lopez recommends seeing your primary doctor or finding a new specialist.
"If they are having problems, they need to make appointment and not be fearful and call gastroenterologist and get in and get seen," he said.
Chapman says she'll do that very thing. The longer she waits the more pain she's in.
A check with the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners shows 47 gastroenterologists licensed in the Las Vegas area. That number includes the doctors being investigated.
If you don't want to find a new specialist, the health district recommends going to your primary doctor.

Some medical providers say they often deal with Hispanic patients who are afraid to seek medical care. It's hoped the opening of a new medical clinic will change that.

I have noticed this when I goto to Braves game: the organist plays songs that either (a) make fun of the opposing team's batter or (b) somehow relates to the batter's name.
For example, from Saturday's game:
Danny Espinosa- "Danny Boy" (self explanatory)
John Lannan - "Hey Jude" (John Lennon, John Lannan)
Rick Ankiel - "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley (rickankielrolling)
Ian Desmond - "Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da" (from the lyric"Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace...")
Jayson Werth - "Jesus is Just Alright" (because of his facial hair. They have also in the past played "Werewolves of London"). Also "For What It's Worth" (Worth. Werth.)
And the biggest stretch of all:
Wilson Ramos - "Crazy on You" by Heart. The connection here is that the lead musicians are the Wilson sisters.
Anyone else notice this?

Mother and daughter beheaded
Klansman infighting claims two more lives in St Catherine
HOMICIDE detectives are now on the scene of a double murder in Lauriston, a small community on the outskirts of Spanish Town in St Catherine, where two females were beheaded this morning.
Police report that the two females were attacked at their home in the community early this morning by a group of armed men.
They have been identified as Charmaine Rattray and her 19-year-old daughter Joyette Lynch.
The gruesome killings occurred near to the spot where 18-year-old Scott Thomas, also called 'Scottie', was beheaded at his home on Monday.
Thomas was attacked by a group of thugs armed with guns and machetes at his home. A relative who was with him was left unharmed.
The killings are believed to be linked to an ongoing feud between members of the notorious Klansman gang whose members have been at loggerheads for over a year over leadership of the gang.
The gang is known to control a multi-million dollar extortion racket which is based mainly in the old capital.
On Monday police offered a $500,000 reward for information leading to the capture and charge of Navardo Hodges, otherwise called 'Dee Jay', who they say is a leading member of the Klansman gang from Spanish Town, St Catherine.
Hodges is wanted for several murders in the St Catherine North Police Division, especially Spanish Town.
Another leading member of the gang, Tesha miller, was recently sentenced to 15 years for illegal possession of a firearm and robbery with aggravation.

You know things are getting scary when Zack de la Rocha is the voice of moderation.
A gentleman next to me in the Rage Against the Machine crowd got this text message from a friend standing closer to the stage. And for the first time in my Lollapalooza-going experience, things got scary last night. There was a security breach, a few stops of the show, and more broken bones and busted noses than I've seen in a long time. Keep reading!
I maintained what I thought was a pretty safe distance at last night's show. Off stage right and a few hundred yards back, the show started with the audience around me yelling "Turn it Up!" It got louder, and much crazier.
During the show I spoke with people making their way from the front rows. One man told me a story of seeing a younger girl laying on the ground as dozens of grown men around her jumped up and down to the music. As another man tried to help her up, he was knocked down as well. The band's lead singer Zack de la Rocha stopped the set a few times to try and help people like her out. But as soon as a band like Rage starts rocking out again, it's no use. I hear that a few people actually died during the band's most recent European tour, and I can understand why. It's pure bedlam in that pit.
Which begs the question. Why does this band continue to play shows like this? Rage has a politically charged message about fighting the power. But does that message really translate to 75,000 people who paid over $100 to watch a concert? Or are these people merely paying for a chance to join a crowd and practice assault without the risk of arrest?
The most cringe-inducing moment of the night occurred when Zack asked the people in the crowd to "take care of one another" and save their anger "for the streets." I'm sure the Chicago Police Department loved to hear that. I wonder if Zack realizes that many of the security forces down at the front row of his stage are actually off-duty cops, working on the side to protect him. I wonder how he'd like it if they just walked off the job. Chicago doesn't need much more violence in the streets, Zack. But thanks for visiting.
Another problem last night. Reports are flying that maybe as many as 2,000 people stormed a gate here at Lollapalooza during Rage's set. As a fence opened to let a CTA bus out into the street, the people stormed from across Columbus and charged the gate. They broke into the festival, knocking down people, kicking over cans. A fellow media member told me that they even broke into the VIP cabana section and began causing havoc. No official report yet on how many broke in or if people were arrested, but I'll stay on top of it.
I snapped this photo last night as I was trying to leave the set early. That isn't the stage with the lights you see there. This is actually the STAIRCASE leading to the exit. Each night at Lolla, these stairs are an accident waiting to happen. Last night it was jammed full of people moshing, jumping up and down. Combine that with people in a panic, looking to either go up the stairs or down, and you have one terrifying situation.
There is one way to stop the Rage incident from happening again. They should never be allowed to headline a festival of this size. Instead, stick them in a 1 p.m. timeslot. This creates three situations:
1. The crowd will be smaller. Easier on security and on injuries.
2. It will be hotter. This makes people less likely to go as crazy.
3. People will be less drunk. This means when you punch your friend in the face, it will hurt him more.
I love Rage's music. They're passionate about their message, as ridiculous as it may be at times. But watching a crowd of this magnitude get such joy out of killing each other was a sickening experience. This was by far one of the worst moments I've encountered at Lollapalooza.

TROY, NY - The Troy Police Department says they are in the early stages of the investigation into discovering how a toddler in Troy died over the weekend.
On Saturday night at approximately 7:45 p.m., the mother came home to her Griswold Heights apartment to find her child, 21-month-old Avery Cahn, dead.
Police say the mother had left the child with her boyfriend, 28-year-old Robert Hayden, for several hours to go to work but when she returned home Hayden was gone.
"The caretaker did in fact leave the child for several hours during the time where he was responsible for the child's well being," Captain John Cooney said.
Police say Hayden allegedly left the child home alone for more than two hours, however they are unclear whether he left the child alone in a state of distress or the death came after the caretaker left.
Neighbors of the child were distraught talking with NEWS10 about Avery. "He was a sweet little boy and he didn't deserve to die."
Hayden was allegedly found by officers walking nearby after the child had been found deceased. Police say Hayden is cooperating with the investigation and is not facing charges at this time.
NEWS10 learned that Hayden had been arrested, and pleaded guilty, in July 2010 for a sex crime against an 11-year-old girl. Law enforcement says there is no indication of any kind of sexual nature going on in this case at this time.
"My daughter is trying to make a living and go to work," Avery's grandfather, James Stickelmyer said. "You think you're leaving your child home being protected by someone and you expect to come home to them, but she came home to a tragedy instead. A lot of questions need to be answered."
"Anyone in their right mind wouldn't leave a child alone, regardless of the situation," Jaime Clark, Avery's aunt told NEWS10. Stickelmyer and Clark are both from Pennsylvania and came up to be with their daughter after they heard of Avery's death.
Police said toxicology results to help determine how Avery Cahn died will be available Monday, however the results are still pending.
The family has set up a fund to help cover funeral expenses. Contributions can be made at any SEFCU branch.

The owner of a former Depot District Bar and Restaurant in downtown Lubbock has 30 days to either clean up or demolish what's left of the building.
If you'll recall, an arsonist set fire to the Red Door in August of last year. Tuesday afternoon, the Structural Standards Committee met and issued its decision. If the owner of the property does not comply in 30 days, the city will tear it down and place a lien on the property to recover the cost.
Meanwhile, the investigation into the fire is still on-going. If you have any information on the Red Door fire, call Crime Line at (806) 741-1000.

Just scroll through the Shotgun/Throwdown and Sunday Hangover posts from this weekend and it doesn't take long to notice the ridiculous amount of publicity heaped on Geno Smith. Not to say he doesn't deserve it, because he absolutely does. You just don't see this kind of offensive production everyday. Or ever, if you've been around Morgantown long. The Geno Smith Hype Train is running at full steam, and it's darned near impossible to turn on ESPN or click on any site that covers college football---or sports in general---without seeing some mention of Smith and his absurd stat line against Baylor. We're running out of adjectives to describe his play the same way the stadium sound crew was running out of songs to play before someone kicked off on Saturday. Heck, the Texas defense will probably be foaming at the mouth by the end of the week after hearing all week about how good Geno Smith, Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, JD Woods and the Mountaineer offense are.
At this point, we really can't say anything that hasn't been said about Saturday's performance and all the records that were broken. So let's step back and look at this from a distinctly WVU historical perspective. Where does Geno Smith fit in among WVU's all-time great quarterbacks? And really, there have been some good ones. Oliver Luck. Jeff Hostetler. Major Harris. Marc Bulger. Pat White. Those guys won games, broke records, captured the hearts of Mountaineer faithful, were invited to Heisman Trophy ceremonies and went on to play in Pro Bowls and win Super Bowls. It's a surprisingly good list for a school that has never won a national title or had a Heisman Trophy winner. Can we really just slot Geno in at the top of that group based on a really good 2011 season and historically magnificent 4 games in 2012?
Obviously, there are a number of factors that complicate the analysis. Some guys didn't play a full career in Morgantown. Others played in an entirely different system. They played against varying degrees of competition and wound up having varying degrees of success professionally. Highlight-reel plays and huge wins certainly helped some leave an impression.
I don't think I'm reaching too far to say that Geno is the best of all of them. Yes, we have a lot of football left to play. Yes, he didn't have the type of freshman year that Pat White did in 2005 when he led WVU to a Sugar Bowl win over Georgia. True, he likely won't will the team to an undefeated regular season like Major did in 1988. He's going to finish his career with 2 bowl losses. But with what he's doing right now on the field and the potential he has going forward, including in the NFL, there has never been another better. Any losses from here on out? Probably the fault of the defense. Invite to New York for the Heisman ceremony? Already in the mail. NFL draft stock? High and still rising.
Short of a total collapse by Geno or the team in general, 2012 will likely go down as the most prolific offensive season ever at WVU. Not just to date. Ever. Think about that. We have a Heisman frontrunner at quarterback and our top two receivers will likely be first-day NFL draft picks. We have a veteran offensive line to protect them and, when Shawne Alston and Ryan Clarke are healthy, an adequate running game to complement them. I'm as optimistic as the next guy, but it's doesn't stretch credulity to say we may never again have this kind of veteran offensive weaponry. 45 of 51 for 656 yards and 8 touchdowns with 0 interceptions? Please. Enjoy the show while you can because it's a once in a lifetime event.

Comedian Richard Pryor broke countless racial boundaries in film and television, all by doing what great funny people do best: making the biggest jokes about himself. ''Richard's personal [life] was his art,'' says Jennifer Lee Pryor, who was married to Pryor at the time of his death from a heart attack in 2005 following a long struggle with multiple sclerosis. ''If he had a fight with me, he was on stage talking about it the next night. It was all grist for the mill.'' The Showtime documentary Richard Pryor: Omit the Logic (debuting May 31 at 9 p.m.) tracks his evolution as an artist and explores how high-profile incidents both positive (his trips to Africa) and negative (his suicide attempt via self-immolation) influenced his work on stage and screen. Those stories are told via a steady stream of testimonials from friends and collaborators like Robin Williams, Jesse Jackson, and Lily Tomlin, as well as admirers like Dave Chappelle, George Lopez, and Whoopi Goldberg.
In addition to Omit the Logic, Pryor's comedic genius will be on display in the form of a new seven-CD, two-DVD box set of stand-up called No Pryor Restraint, which goes on sale June 11. ''We found two hours of unreleased material in my house,'' says Lee Pryor, noting that the collection will span nearly three decades and include a 1992 performance that ended up being one of his final stand-up appearances. Lee Pryor has also started a new push in her quest to develop a biopic on her husband's life; director Bill Condon (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn) had been attached to the project for years, but in March actor-director Forest Whitaker took over as producer. ''We are currently talking to writers and developing a script,'' she says. ''There was a script years ago with Bill Condon, but we're shelving that and basing a script around Richard's diaries.'' The casting process is far in the future, but Lee Pryor says there is at least one actor not in the running. ''Marlon Wayans wanted to do it, and he has put that out there repeatedly. With all due respect to Marlon, I think it was probably a mistake, because he's not going to play Richard.'' She notes that she saw Whitaker-produced Sundance indie Fruitvale and was impressed with its star, Michael B. Jordan. ''He's fabulous. I would like somebody [relatively unknown] who doesn't come with any baggage because let's face it, Richard has enough.''

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Bloomington Deputy Police Chief Rick Hart says a rental truck that was too tall for the opening hit an overhead concrete and steel support beam as it entered a parking ramp. Hart says the beam fell on the truck's cab, killing the 52-year-old driver and injuring two others.
Hart says the accident happened about 8:30 p.m. Friday.
The Star Tribune (http://bit.ly/PR7AnY ) reports a structural engineering team was in the lot Friday evening, assessing the damage. The lot entrance has been closed, but could reopen Saturday.

California Institute of Technology, 2007 - $19,000
There are approximately twenty million people in the developing world who require a wheelchair to be mobile, but only one percent of those people actually have their own chairs. Even these chairs are second-hand most of the time and aren't suited to the rugged, off-road terrain often found in developing countries. As a result, many disabled people rely on their family members for support or resort to begging in order to live.To combat the problem, this team has founded a non-profit, Intelligent Mobility, to produce and distribute safe, durable, and affordable wheelchairs made primarily from old bicycles. The pedal axles on the bike are converted to rear-wheel axles on the chair, the pedals themselves are used for both the footrests and front caster assembly, the x-brace is cut from the metal on the back end of the bike frame, and the handle bars are used as push handles. The team believes this design makes for a less expensive, more durable, and more appropriate wheelchair for the developing world. It also takes less time to make than a standard wheelchair--about one-sixth of the current production time.
See this E-Team on NBC. Click here for the video.
Former E-Team Intelligent Mobility International, a non-profit that produces and distributes safe, durable, and affordable wheelchairs made from old bicycles for customers in Guatemala, has been in the news of late.
In April, IMI particpated on the "Extremely Affordable Health Innovations" panel at the World Health Care Congress. Download the podcast interview with IMI, recorded at the WHCC.
Since IMI received an E-Team grant in 2007, the organization has partnered with Transitions Foundation, a Guatemalan disabilities association that mainly employs wheelchair-bound workers, to build and sell wheelchairs in the market. The advantage of IMI's design is simple - wheelchairs made from bike parts are sturdy, cheap, and easy to repair. Last year, IMI was recognized by Popular Mechanics as one of its 'Top 10 New World-Changing Innovations of the Year.'

Hernandez tests positive for PEDs
Right-hander will be suspended for 50 games next season
DENVER -- Runelvys Hernandez, who made four starts for the Astros this year and most recently pitched for Triple-A Round Rock, was suspended for 50 games after testing positive for an amphetamine, the Commissioner's Office announced on Saturday.
Amphetamines are considered a performance-enhancing substance and are in violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
The suspension of Hernandez will be effective at the start of next season.
"We strongly believe in the Commissioner's drug-testing program, and we are disappointed in the choice that Runelvys made," Astros general manager Ed Wade said. "Major League Baseball and the 30 clubs have taken great strides toward eliminating the use of performance-enhancing substances in baseball, and we are fully supportive of all measures to ensure a clean game."
Hernandez was 0-3 with an 8.38 ERA for the Astros this year, allowing 18 earned runs over 19 1/3 innings. He was with the Astros two separate times, with his most recent demotion arriving on July 28, when the club activated Roy Oswalt from the disabled list.

Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) February 20, 2014
The cost drivers of medical care in state workers' compensation systems; the effects of legislative and regulatory changes on medical costs; and trends in payments, prices and utilization of medical care for injured workers are examined in a new set of studies from the Workers Compensation Research Institute (WCRI).
The studies, CompScope™ Medical Benchmarks, 14th Edition, look at 16 different state workers' compensation systems and provide a baseline of current medical costs and trends for state system stakeholders by documenting how medical payments per claim and their cost components compare with other states.
"The reports are designed to help policymakers and others benchmark the performance of state systems in providing medical care for injured workers," said Ramona Tanabe, WCRI's Deputy Director and Counsel. "The reports also provide an excellent baseline for tracking the effectiveness of policy changes and identifying important trends."
The states in the study – Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin – represent nearly 60 percent of the nation's workers' compensation benefit payments.
The following is a sample of the key findings found in the studies:
The reports present various measures in several areas, including medical costs, medical prices and utilization of services by provider and service type. For more information on the reports or how to purchase them, click on the following link: http://www.wcrinet.org/result/csmed14_all_result.html.
The Cambridge-based WCRI is recognized as a leader in providing high-quality, objective information about public policy issues involving workers' compensation systems.
The Workers Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) is an independent, not-for-profit research organization based in Cambridge, MA. Since 1983, WCRI has been a catalyst for significant improvements in workers' compensation systems around the world with its objective, credible, and high-quality research. WCRI's members include employers; insurers; governmental entities; managed care companies; health care providers; insurance regulators; state labor organizations; and state administrative agencies in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

WordPress 3.3 is now live and ready for download.
The automatic upgrade was as smooth as ever. A couple of themes needed to be upgraded too. The menus are a little different and there is now a new persistent dashboard header, but it all seems like business as usual for the casual blogger like me.
I posted a rant about my hosting provider about 10 days ago. As I mentioned in the post, I quickly got the site up and running again. Pretty soon after that I was at the UKOUG conference and Cary Millsap's training course, so I never really got time to look at things again…
On Thursday evening I took a proper look at the site and OMG, what a mess. Here are some of the issues I've been firefighting since Thursday…
UltraEdit 2.3 has just been released for Linux. It now has a Fedora 16 build, which is nice.
The first draft of this post was rather explosive, containing many expletives and could probably have landed me in jail on some trumped up charges. This is the more moderate version.
To cut a long and boring story short, I made a change to my hosting package today, which suggested it was an administrative change, rather than something physical. The fact it transferred my whole site to another server is annoying, but if I had bothered to read the 3000 pages of T&Cs it would probably have become obvious.
One of my friends is a drama teacher, so every once in a while I get invited to see productions that are touring locally. Last night I went to see some physical theatre by a company called DV8. The show was called "Can we talk about this?" and was about "freedom of speech, censorship and Islam". I'm not a political or religious person, so the subject matter was not something I'm really into. Actually, I didn't even know what the production was about before it started. If I had I would probably have thought, "sounds too heavy", and avoided it. Added to that, I'm not really an arty kind of guy, so I guess these facts make me about the worst possible person to sit in a show like this. So what did I think?
Website stats are an odd thing. If you look at them too often and you start to think they matter, which is why I avoid looking at them for months on end.
I've seen a couple of browser share articles recently, so I decided to check out the spread for my website (oracle-base.com). The top 3 were a little predictable.
On the 14th March 2011, the numbers were:
The Gmail new look was rolled out while I was on the road, so it's taken until now for me to really take a good look at it. Let me start by saying I'm not a total hater, but there are some things that do not seem like an improvement to me.
I mentioned in a previous post that I went to the OTN Night on the Monday at OOW11. I also spoke about eating far too much when I was there, but forgot to mention were the circus performers…
Anyone who knows me knows I'm obsessed with flexibility. I love stretching and I love watching anything involving flexibility. San Francisco has a famous Circus School, so previous OTN parties have had assorted circus performers to entertain the punters. In addition to the usual clowns, this year there was a contortionist with a hula hoop. She did elements of the Cirque du Soleil act made famous by Elena Lev in Alegria. You can see the original act here.
Needless to say I watched the contortionist at the OTN Night while stuffing noodles into my face.
If anyone was wondering why football (soccer) in the UK is gradually being eroded to the point where we are a 3rd world country, you might want to take a look at this.
So in schools the kids are streamed based on their ability, with the most able kids paraded as shining examples of academic excellence and that is considered fine, but put them on a football field and the physically excellent kids have to be held back to allow for the weak to "compete". This makes me sick. This has nothing to do with the kids. They don't even read the papers. It's to do with politically correct parents who just can't deal with the fact their kids are wet lettuces. You can be sure the kids will remember a 20:0 defeat and you can be sure their friends will know the real score.
The real problem with the Telford Junior League is they have a "football for all" policy, which is good, but they refuse to stream the kids at an early age, so teams made up of Premiership Development Center players are playing against kids who are rarely facing in the direction of the ball. That's no joke. I've seen it. With this in mind, of course some teams are going to get the sh*t kicked out of them.
Every kid should have the right to play football, but it should be against opposition that is of an appropriate level to them. Stream the kids in sports, the way they are in school. This latest nonsense from the TJL is political correctness gone mad. Life isn't fair. Everyone is not equally good at everything. Kids need to learn that and start working hard for the things they want, rather than having it handed to them on a plate.
Update: The decision has been reversed. The full scores are now being published again. I like to think my blog rant helped, but the reality is, just about everyone with any sense could see that lying about the scores was not sensible.

Though things look somewhat bleak for Ohio St. Buckeyes football, with reports emerging of a school investigation into a number of suspect used car purchases being made by players, but here's a little bit of good news for Bucks fans. Columbus' WBNS-TV reports at least one player paid more than Kelley Blue Book value for a car purchased from one of the dealerships in question, Auto Direct.
The 2003 Chevrolet Impala reportedly went for $9,100, though there's no word on which player is said to have missed out on a good deal.
Auto Direct owner Jason Goss told WBNS that he'd cooperate with Ohio State's investigation. Wouldn't it be amusing if this entire thing came down to being a product of one used car salesman's strange paperwork quirks?

An anime DVD boxed set.
The set, which consists of all six- OVA episodes, comes packaged as a single disc within a standard-sized DVD case. Total runtime comes in at 150 minutes and language options are nice and thorough as well: English language recorded in Dolby Surround 5.1 and stereo Japanese vocals (with English subtitles is so desired). Extras are pretty solid as well and included a commentary track with the English voice actors over episode 6, textless songs, and Funimation trailers.
The story goes something like this: The kingdom of Forland is under attack by one Doctor Akamashi and his horde of baddies including an adorable but nasty pair of androids Anna and Yuna.
The tale opens with the death of the king and his son (Prince Kite) away on a diplomatic mission. As such the throne falls to the younger Princess Alita, who is anything but ready for the weight suddenly placed upon her shoulders.
In the process of fleeing the castle in disguise, the new queen smashes into a rough and tumble female bounty hunter named Falis. As the pair tumbles toward their inevitable doom, they swap bodies. Now the real princess, in the bounty hunter's body, assumes the role of a handmaiden to her body, which is now occupied by Falis until a means of undoing the transfer can be found.
As far as rough around the edges princesses are concerned, Falis proves capable of using her bounty hunter skills and blades to whip many seemingly overpowering threats to the kingdom while the real princess remains in the shadows as a mere servant.
Sure body swaps are nothing new in the realm of entertainment and the fantasy setting has been done to death but somehow the formula works here. As stated above, the name Murder Princess is derived from the fact that the always meek and mild princess returns to the throne a brash and skilled killer and her reputation as such quickly spreads.
The character models are very reminiscent of those made famous in fantasy/ technological video games like the Final Fantasy series: Think monsters the size of buildings, towering knights with ridiculously oversized swords, and robotic humanoids who ride choppers. Fortunately, the use of technology within the fantasy setting is explained quite believably here, as the timeframe is in fact the future of mankind once technology has utterly destroyed society. In effort to rebuild from the shambles, humanity has, in a sense, started over despite the fact that bits and pieces of tech (like cyborgs, missiles, and machine guns) have found their way into the new-old renaissance.
Pacing is spectacularly swift which I suppose is to be expected in a six-episode series. Visuals are crisp and clean and the dub work is perfect. My only complaint is twofold: First, the material is intriguing enough to warrant a continuation of the plot (at least 13 episodes would have been nice) and second (spoiler warning) I'm not sure if the fact that the two lead characters never end up swapping back to their original bodies fits in with the "fairy tale ending" shows like this thrive on.
The TV 14 rating is very conservative as well. The violence is limited to the hacking and slashing of monsters and mythological bad guys and there is no nudity to speak of. Language is limited to the typical non-offensive cussing.
In all, critics seem to come down pretty hard on Murder Princess, faulting it for relying upon body-swapping gimmicks and a cliché setting to make up for a lack of depth but judging it accordingly misses the point. This is a fun-filled fantasy romp with a solid cast of characters and some interesting explanations for the merging of technology and mythology. This is good clean fun that could have succeeded for seasons to come.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Says "I wish Manny Pacquiao nothing but the best".
Just shows you how smart Mayweather is. He can run a hype train like no other, but look at the respect when respect is due.
I hated the guy until this Tbh.
Mayweather is the Truth. Know that. You seen what he did to Marquez… Hell You seen what he's done to all of his opponets

He lost to Dela Hoya!
One of them was bound to lose eventually if they waited to long to make this fight and now all that money is gone. I think both of them are to blame
Money's a punk ass no doubt about that,which is too bad because he may actually be the finest boxer of all time… he's a sweet scientist and everybody else are his students.

It's Ezra's short. Since today is a holiday here in the U.S., we're not planning on doing much else today, but you can check out our most recent Tumblr themes: Humor, concept art and behind-the-scenes.
Tag Archives: rebels (cartoon)
Simon Kinberg: Stepping into Star Wars is "daunting"
Bryan at Big Shiny Robot interviews Simon Kinberg about Rebels. He talks about getting to make Star Wars ("like getting a chance to write fan fiction at the highest possible level") and where the concept of Ezra's slingshot comes from. There's also a preview of next week's Rebels short.
The problem with pink armor. Tracy Gardner on Rebels, Disney and gender riles. I'm hoping we see Sabine repaint her armor every couple episodes or at least every season (think of the marketing potential!) but I do find somewhat disturbing that she and Hera look like they'll very easily fall into the 'love interest' and 'mom' roles in regards to Ezra.
New Rebels short, 'Entanglement,' featuring Zeb. It'll be on Disney XD tonight, but you can watch it now.
The Hollywood Reporter debuts 'an exclusive preview' of the Rebels character short for Zeb. Seriously, a preview for a short? Ugh.
Rebels to debut on TV October 3rd
Finally, we have a release date: Rebels will premiere with a one-hour movie, Spark of Rebellion, Friday October 3rd on the Disney Channel at 9:00 p.m. The series itself will begin Monday, October 13 on Disney XD, also at 9, with the Spark of Rebellion DVD in stores on the 14th.
Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion will also be available to "verified users" on WATCHDisneyXD.com, the WATCH Disney XD app, and On Demand early on September 29.
Rebels video: Sabine's art attack
More than just the snippet we got last week from USA Today, the full Rebels short, "Art Attack," featuring Sabine Wren gets three minutes of causing trouble for the Empire, doing it artistically.
Video: New Rebels clip has Sabine Wren in action
USA Today has a new short from Star Wars Rebels, with the Mandalorian Sabine Wren tagging some Imperial property.
Is the U.K. getting Rebels in August? A commercial there apparently says October, but this isn't the first time I've heard about the show airing in August. (Recently! In the states!) Honestly, at this point it feels like the only thing we don't know about Rebels is when it'll actually air.
Video: Rebels' 'The Machine in the Ghost' clip
"The Machine in the Ghost" is the first of four shorts will air on Disney XD after Gravity Falls, but it's already live.

ACTION: Thank CT House Dems For FISA Vote
by tparty, Fri Jun 20, 2008 at 01:29:52 PM EDT
(Cross-posted from Daily Kos.)
As DavidNYC noted in his Orange-to-Blue endorsement post of Jim Himes yesterday, Chris Shays has a history of pretending to be a "moderate" while voting again and again for Bush's policies.
This morning, Shays joined many in both parties in Congress by standing with Bush again on the FISA "compromise".
In fact, Chris Shays has been busy doing his best impersonation of a Blue Dog all week, voting for the war supplemental without timelines that passed yesterday before voting for the for the disastrous FISA bill that passed today.

Ray Boudreaux sang "Use Me" on The Voice Season 5. Ray had a daughter when he was 22 and has never even been on a plane. He mows lawns for extra income and hopes that music will be his ticket out.
Adam says he was expecting him to sound like Blake, rather than Cee Lo. Cee Lo says Bill Withers is like a father to him. No pressure! "I want to win with you," he says. Blake calls the performance "swampy" and is under the impression that he's from Louisiana.
Ray chooses Team Blake.

Security governance
- Course Code:
- Unit value:
- 0.5
- Taught in:
- Term 2
Understandings of security and how it is to be produced have undergone rapid change in the past two decades. Traditionally, analysis of international peace and security focused on interstate warfare and diplomacy. The growing impact of 'globalization' and 'interdependence', however, have prompted increased attention to security issues as stretching across state boundaries, and involving multiple actors and mechanisms. As a topic of analysis, security governance emerges from and responds to this set of changes in the international system.
This course examines some of the key dimensions of security governance in contemporary world politics, proceeding in three sections. We begin by examining foundational concepts such as 'security', 'globalization' and 'governance', before looking at the politics of the UN Security Council and recent attempts to re-define security. In the second section, we look at three perceived security threats which are connected to global networks. In the third section, we explore emerging features of the security landscape which seek to meet evolving challenges. To bring our understanding together, we will devote the last week to analyzing the War on Terror as an example of contemporary security governance practices. Our work in the course will include reflecting on the meaning of 'neoliberal' reform in changing the political landscape of security, and addressing practices such as statebuilding, policing, surveillance and rendition. By the end of the course, students should expect to have a broad understanding of how security governance is understood and deployed, the scholarly literatures and debates on security and governance, and the ability to apply those concepts and theories to empirical materials and concrete situations.
Objectives and learning outcomes of the course
At the end of the course, a student should be able to demonstrate…
- An understanding of academic literatures and debates on security and governance
- The ability to present theories, models and approaches that help students to explain and understand security governance
- The ability to discuss security governance as it relates to various subfields of Political Science, including the study of International Security, Global Civil Society, Transnational Relations, Civil Wars, Nationalism and Ethnic Politics, Terrorism and Insurgency, Political Institutions and Political Participation, and Identity Politics
- The ability to undertake an independent research project focusing on an aspect of security governance
- The ability to critically engage with the academic and policy literature on security governance
- The ability to present and critique competing scholarly arguments
- The ability to make formal presentations

Valor in Vietnam: Chronicles of Honor, Courage and Sacrifice: 1963 - 1977
Book Information:
Author: Allen Clark
Publisher: Casemate (2012)
Binding: Hardcover, 288 pages
MWSA Review
Valor in Vietnam is a compelling book about the lives of 23 individuals, including the author, who served in Vietnam between 1963 until 1977. The stories unfold chronologically, and sometimes overlapped with a person from a previous story continuing on with his own. The last chapter revisits a love story in which a civilian worker and his Vietnamese fiancé finally reunite after years of separation due to the fall of Saigon. Most of the personal accounts are by Army personnel, including one Army nurse who details the horrors of working with wounded personnel in conditions not suitable for non-problematic injury care. There were also chronicles from Air Force, Marine, and Navy personnel as well as a POW story. All in all the book makes for interesting reading, especially with narrative by the author that explains the progress of the war through the introduction and historical overview, an epilogue of reflections, and within the narratives themselves. If you are interested in military history and personal stories of honor, courage and commitment of military personnel, then you will be well served in reading this book.
Reviewed by: Darlene M Iskra (2014)
Author's Summary
Every war continues to dwell in the lives it touched, in the lives of those living through that time, and in those absorbed by its historical significance. The Vietnam War lives on famously and infamously dependent on political points of view, but those who have "been there, done that" have a highly personalized window on their time of that history. Valor in Vietnam focuses on nineteen stories of Vietnam, stories of celebrated characters in the veteran community, compelling war narratives, vignettes of battles, and the emotional impact on the combatants. It is replete with leadership lessons as well as valuable insights that are just as applicable today as they were forty years ago.
This is an anecdotal history of America's war in Vietnam composed of firsthand narratives by Vietnam War veterans presented in chronological order. They are intense, emotional, and highly personal stories. Connecting each of them is a brief historical commentary of that period of the war, the geography of the story, and the contemporary strategy written by Lewis Sorley, West Point class of 1956, and author of A Better War and Westmoreland.
With a foreword by Lt. Gen. Dave R. Palmer, U.S. Army (Ret.), Valor in Vietnam presents a historical overview of the war through the eyes of participants in each branch of service and throughout the entire course of the war. Simply put, their stories serve to reflect the commitment, honor, and dedication with which America's veterans performed their service..

Below are postings from April, 2008. (See Archives | Recent Headlines)
Crawford: It Could Have Been Worse
Apr. 29 -
That's about the best that can be said about yesterday's opinions in Crawford v. Marion County Election Board. Following the precedent set by LULAC v. Perry and Randall v. Sorrell in 2006, the Court issued a splintered decision in an important constitutional election law case. The lack of a majority opinion, and the narrowness of Justice Stevens' lead opinion (joined only by the Chief Justice and Justice Kennedy), will probably limit the harm done by the Court's decision to uphold what is probably the strictest and most exclusionary voter ID law in the country.
US Supreme Court Upholds Indiana Voter ID
Apr. 28 -
Today the US Supreme Court upheld Indiana's long-disputed voter ID law (opinion). The syllabus states that the law supports legitimate state interests of deterring fraud and protecting voter confidence, and that the procedure for obtaining proper ID "does not qualify as a substantial burden on most voters' right to vote...." Check back for a full analysis.
Update: EL@M faculty Edward Foley and Daniel Tokaji have posted commentary here and here.
Preliminary Reports of PA Problems
Apr. 22 -
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that some Pennsylvania voters have been left off the polling place roster and in other cases the party affiliation listed next to their names is incorrect (see here). There are also reports of machine breakdowns and long lines (see here and here). The extent of the problems is unclear. See page 13 of this in-depth EL@M report for an analysis of how Pennsylvania law treats the problem of long lines discouraging individuals from voting. Check back for further updates.
PA Court Refuses to Extend Polling Hours
Apr. 22 -
A court has reportedly refused a request to extend polling hours in Philadelphia. A group called Voter Action filed the request after machines malfunctioned in eight Philadelphia precincts.
11th Circuit Reverses Injunction Against Florida's Voter Registration Law
Apr. 4 -
The U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeal has reversed the injunction issued by the district court in Florida State Conference of the NAACP v. Browning. The injunction prohibited the enforcement of Florida's voter registration law, which provides for the disqualification of any voter registration where the Social Security or driver license number on the application cannot be matched with government databases. For more information or to review the Court's decision, see the EL@M case page.

VIDEO: Blind student Jack defies the odds to graduate in graphic design
Updated 11:19am Thursday 12th June 2014 in News
AN "inspirational" blind student has defied the odds to complete a university degree.
Jack Pearson celebrates his 22nd birthday today by holding an exhibition of work he has completed on his degree in graphic design, illustration and digital media at Bradford College.
He has less than ten per cent sight in his left eye, less than five per cent sight in his right eye and is registered as blind.
Jack, of Hunters Park Avenue, Clayton, Bradford, was diagnosed with septo-optic dysplasia at birth, which means the eye does not develop as it should. The rare congenital malformation syndrome affects one in 10,000 newborns and the degree of visual impairment ranges from normal vision to complete blindness.
He will graduate in December and hopes to work for a time in graphic design, before then retraining as a teacher working with disabled people to "give something back".
But modest Jack, a former pupil at St Bede's Catholic Grammar School, Heaton, said he does not think he is remarkable and hard work led to him getting a place on his degree course, which he completes on Monday, June 23.
"I don't class myself as anything different, I just do what I do. Everyone else thinks it's amazing.
"I have spent a lot of time training my eyes," he said.
"People ask me how do I manage? I think it's normal, I'm used to seeing what I see and I can walk about knowing where I am - I use one eye more than the other."
"The course has been really good. Reading and writing has been hard with my eyesight but the designing is easier, as I can zoom in on the computer."
Jack's mother, Joeanne Higgins, said: "He has been absolutely astounding. He has achieved what he has due to his determination. He is just an inspiration.
"It took a lot more work for him.
"He is considering what to do next and might do a teaching degree to help people with disabilities. But he would love to carry on in graphic design."
Course tutor Paul Holmes added: "He has really triumphed and worked extremely hard."

The GW Libraries are saddened by the passing of Dr. Samuel Halperin, a longtime member of the GW Libraries Development Advisory Council and benefactor of our Special Collections,including the Kiev Judaica Collection. Dr. Halperin was a true partner in helping us develop in stature as a university library. He valued education and research resources at every level. His love of learning was apparent in all his professional and volunteer endeavors. He will be sorely missed.

Heads UP! Major Sprinkler System Work in Fenwick
On May 19, a significant construction work project will start in Fenwick Library, which involves installing a new sprinkler system on each floor in the existing B&C Wings. This new system will be integrated with the new addition and bring the existing Fenwick Library towers into compliance with current building code. The work involves covering book stacks, removing ceiling tiles, installing piping, connecting the sprinklers to fire alarm systems, testing the system, and then replacing the ceiling tiles. The last part of this project is to install a fire suppression system in Special Collections & Archives. The construction company's goal is to complete this major project by the start of Fall Semester 2014.
What does this mean for you? Public access to book collections and study rooms/spaces on specific floors in Fenwick Library will be disrupted and will not be permitted as the construction crew works through each floor during May, June, July and August. The work starts on Floor 1, Wing C and continues throughout the two wings of the library through August 2014. The company's sprinkler installation plan does not proceed in sequential order from floor to floor, and, as is the case with any renovation work, it is possible that unforeseen circumstances may cause delays in the work schedule. Users will be notified which floors are closed through notices on library.gmu.edu and by posted alerts in Fenwick.
Library staff will be permitted to access the restricted areas daily to pull books for users. If a user needs a book located in a restricted area, s/he will be instructed to complete an ILLiad document delivery request form. When the request is received, Library staff will pull the book(s), place the book(s) on hold at Fenwick's main service desk, and send an email informing the user when the item is available. Please note: there will be no access to Special Collections & Archives services or its collections during most of August.
Library staff are striving to minimize the impact on library services at Fenwick. We are very grateful for your understanding and cooperation as we proceed through this important project. Please contact Diane Smith, Associate University Librarian, with questions or concerns (firstname.lastname@example.com or 703-993-3716)

Webber International University History
On April 6, 1927, Grace Knight and Roger W. Babson founded the University which carries the name of their granddaughter, Camilla Grace Webber. Roger was best known for his contributions in the areas of economics and finance, which included the establishment of Babson's Reports and authorship of a number of business publications and books. His philanthropic contributions included the formation of several institutions of higher learning and service on a number of corporate boards, as well as the endowment of several charitable foundations.
Webber was founded as a women's college, with the exclusive purpose of teaching women about business. It was the first school chartered under the educational and charitable laws of the State of Florida as a non-profit organization. Originally the Babson Park campus was only used for the Spring term, while fall classes were taught in Boston. In 1940, Babson Park became the University's permanent campus and our student body became co-ed in 1971.
Webber will continue to propagate the ideals envisioned by its founders. Built upon a solid legacy of experience and knowledge, Webber will prepare tomorrow's business leaders to meet the challenges of the future by instilling a desire for innovative thought and creative accomplishment.
St. Andrews University History
In September 1961, the first students stepped onto the grounds of a spacious, lake-centered campus that only a short time earlier had been named St. Andrews Presbyterian College. Long before the arrival of those first students, Presbyterians across North Carolina, laity and clergy, had committed themselves to this new adventure in higher education.
The history of St. Andrews began in 1896 with the founding of Flora Macdonald College in Red Springs, NC. In 1958, Flora Macdonald College merged with Presbyterian Junior College in Maxton, NC, to establish St. Andrews. In 1996, St. Andrews celebrated the Centennial Anniversary of its heritage by hosting a series of events and celebrations. In honor of the occasion, 800 plus alumni, faculty, students, staff and friends, gathered for this birthday party to recognize the shared history of the three institutions.
The history of St. Andrews offers a consistent record of academic innovation, recognitions and accomplishments far out of proportion to the college's small size and limited human and financial resources. It has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to recognize needs which were not being met by the prevalent higher education cannon of pedagogical strategies, texts, programs or assumptions. It has also combined its visionary thinking with successful academic planning to translate insights into concrete, efficacious higher education innovation.
