Yelp deflects 'Extortion 2.0' claim
Yelp continues to face questions over the ethics of its new-age city guide, billed as a place where "real people" write "real reviews" of restaurants, bars, shops, and other local businesses. And it continues to evade those questions. As we reported in August, several San Francisco Bay Area businesses have told The Reg that …
Salesdroids lie to land business -- film at 11:00...
Is that an axe grinder I hear in the background? Has Yelp's sales force lied in order to close a sale? If they're like every other sales force on the planet, then they probably have. As to the other points: seems to me that if reviews were sorted chronologically, then one of the last things I'd do just before opening a new business is turf in a good half-dozen sterling reviews. You know, before those grotty little proles have a chance to whinge. And "the average user may fail to notice" a label identifying the first review as 'advertiser-promoted'? The average user fails to notice clearly-labeled Cancel, Next and Submit buttons, why should this be any different?
Honestly, I installed Yelp after a tepidly-successful weekend with their other product, iWant, and have doggedly ignored it since. I found it too cumbersome to use to just enter basic info (Yelp and iWant both pander to the "trendy" crowd, so I was hoping to enter "family restaurant"-style places). So I really can't see why anyone would get so worked up over such lameness. Or perhaps I'm simply not the kind of person the author is preaching to.
Ah, the Wisdom Of Crowds(TM) again
Whether the site's ownership are racketeering or not, it's open to abuse by *anyone* and I wouldn't trust the veracity of its user-fiddled^H^H^H^H^H-submitted content any more than I'd put Wikipedia in my bibliography.
"That's a little much from a company that makes its money..."
Wait, it makes money? Hell, for a Web 2.0 outfit, that's cause for celebration no matter what their tactics!
Yelp block.
If you have a business, you should be able to choose to opt out of Yelp, free of charge of course. Just because they set up a site to review businesses doesn't mean they should be able to review a business, positive of negatively.

Matt Black's "The People of Clouds" is a long-term examination of the lives of Mixtec migrant workers, a community that he first encountered near his home, in California's Central Valley, in the late nineteen-nineties. "I noticed a shift in the people I was photographing in the fields around my home town," he told me. They came, he said, "from remote villages in the country's deep south. Isolated by culture and language, they've been caught in a vicious circle of abuse: earning the lowest wages, paying the highest rents, and living under constant threat of deportation."

UPDATE: The Braves have announced that David Hale will be skipped in the starting pitching rotation, and as a result, the rest of the series will go on as scheduled.
RHP David Hale will be skipped in the rotation and that will keep everything on schedule. Wednesday: Teheran, Thursday: Wood.

Earlier in the day on Tuesday, we brought a full-length preview of the festivities that were set to take place between the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night, but unfortunately, the game has been officially postponed due to inclement weather.
Tonight's 7:05 p.m. Phillies vs. Braves game has been postponed due to inclement weather. The makeup date is TBA & will be announced ASAP.
— Todd Zolecki (@ToddZolecki) April 15, 2014
During the afternoon, Kevin McAlpin of the Atlanta Braves Radio Network brought this report about the weather in Philadelphia.
#Braves at #Phillies still on as scheduled. Weather says 95% chance of rain/snow til 11pm with a low of 30 and wind gusts up to 45mph
— Kevin McAlpin (@KevinMcAlpin) April 15, 2014
Later, things apparently worsened.
Holy storm. It's getting nasty here in South Philly. #Braves
— Kevin McAlpin (@KevinMcAlpin) April 15, 2014
And with that (and approximately 35 minutes later), the game was formally postponed. It seems silly to attempt to play a game that would have clearly been hampered throughout by weather, and the fact that we are so early in the season undoubtedly made the decision an easy one.
Shortly after the postponement, David O'Brien of the AJC indicated that no double-header would take place this week:
#Braves and #Phillies will play single games next two days, make up this game later in one of next 2 trips to Philly
— David O'Brien (@ajcbraves) April 15, 2014
The series is scheduled to continue on Wednesday night at 7:05, and when we know more about pitching probables, etc., we will bring that information to you.

'Remarkable... Deeply moving' The Times
In 1968, in a remote part of Canada, a mysterious child is born: a baby who appears to be neither fully boy nor girl, but both at once. Only three people share the secret - the baby's parents and a trusted neighbour. Together the adults make a difficult decision: to go through surgery and raise the child as a boy named Wayne. But as Wayne grows up within the hyper-male hunting culture of his father, his shadow-self - a girl he thinks of as 'Annabel' - is never entirely extinguished, and indeed is secretly nurtured by the women in his life. As Wayne approaches adulthood, and its emotional and physical demands, the woman inside him begins to cry out. The changes that follow are momentous not just for him, but for the three adults that have guarded his secret.
'[A] haunting, powerful story... This is a remarkable first novel, an accomplished debut by an exciting new voice with a confident, mature style' Daily Express
'Powerful and important... This is a human and humane book about...friendship, parental love and its limitations' Irish Times
'Kathleen Winter has the steadfast clarity and quietly assured talent to make this difficult subject her own... Winter has a strikingly mellifluous voice, and she has created a potent story' Independent
'A moving tale, told with precision and care' Glasgow Herald
'A heartbreaking tale... Winter's novel elegantly allows for the awkward ambiguities of the situation' Marie Claire
In a remote coastal town in Newfoundland in the 1970s, a young person of mixed gender struggles for identity, acceptance and understanding
Joining a select group of novels including Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex (2002) and Alan Friedman's Hermaphrodeity (1972), Winter's affecting first novel is the story of Wayne Blake, who is subjected to special corrective surgery as a newborn, raised as a boy and given injections and hormone pills to maintain his masculine traits. His mother, Jacinta, a cosmopolitan-minded outsider from the city of St. John's, is torn over quashing his female qualities and interests but wants even less to go against the wishes of his closed-off father, Treadway, a trapper away for months at a time. Only Thomasina, a worldly, free-spirited midwife who privately calls the child Annabel—after the daughter she lost in a freak boating accident that also claimed her husband—asserts that nature should be allowed to take its course: "That baby is all right the way it is. There's enough room in this world." Even as Wayne unhappily goes along with the program, his body asserts its true self, most shockingly when doctors operating on him to release trapped menstrual blood discover a fetus. As Wayne comes of age, he must endure losing his closest friend Wally (a girl), being viciously attacked by bullies after he moves away to attend college and strange looks when he quits the drugs and assumes his natural self. The Montreal-based Winter, a native of Newfoundland, possesses a rare blend of lyrical brilliance, descriptive power and psychological and philosophical insight. Her way with fate and sadness recalls The World According to Garp,without the cute irony.
A compelling, gracefully written novel about mixed gender that sheds insight as surely as it rejects sensationalism. This book announces the arrival of a major writer.
The blind man in the canoe is dreaming.
Why would a white caribou come down to Beaver River where the woodland herd lives? Why would she leave the Arctic tundra, where light blazes incandescent, to haunt these shadows? Why would any caribou leave her herd to walk, solitary, thousands of miles? The herd is comfort. The herd is a fabric you can't cut or tear, passing over the land. If you could see the herd from the sky, if you were a falcon or a king eider, it would appear like softly floating gauze over the face of the snow, no more substantial than a cloud. "We are soft," the herd whispers. "We have no top teeth. We do not tear flesh. We do not tear at any part of life. We are gentleness itself. Why would any of us break from the herd? Break, apart, separate, these are hard words. The only reason any of us would become one, and not part of the herd, is if she were lost."
The canoe, floating in a steady pool at the deep middle, has black, calm water around it, with froth floating on top from the foam around and above and below. The white caribou stands still, in a patch of sunlight between black tree trunks, staring at the man and the girl inside the vessel. The moss beneath the caribou's hooves is white and appears made of the same substance as the animal, whose outlines are barely there, considering the light above and below it. It could have been poured from light itself, and made of light, as if Graham Montague and his daughter have dreamed it into being.
"Papa?" Annabel stands up in the boat. She has been told, from the time before she could walk, not to do this, but she does it. For a moment the canoe stays still, then the girl outstretches her arms toward the enchantment, this caribou that now, she sees, wears a mantle of glittering frost around its shoulders and magnificent chest. In fact there are sparkles of frost throughout its white coat, and she cannot believe her father is both blind and asleep. She cannot believe life would be so unfair that a man could miss such a sight, and she stretches out her hands, which are long, and which her father has loved, and for whose practical industry and fruition he has laboured and hoped, and the canoe capsizes in the river's calm, deep heart. It flips easily, in an instant. The gun goes down, the provisions float or go down according to their lightness and the waterfastness of their packaging.
Graham Montague has never had to swim, and he does not know how, and neither does Annabel, his daughter.
New World
Wayne Blake was born at the beginning of March, during the first signs of spring break-up of the ice — a time of great importance to Labradorians who hunted ducks for food — and he was born, like most children in that place in 1968, surrounded by women his mother had known all her married life: Joan Martin, Eliza Goudie and Thomasina Baikie. Women who knew how to ice fish and sew caribou hide moccasins and stack wood in a pile that would not fall down in the months their husbands walked the traplines. Women who would know, during any normal birth, exactly what was required.
The village of Croyden Harbour on the southeast Labrador coast has that magnetic earth all Labrador shares. You sense a striation, a pulse, as the land drinks light and emits a vibration. Sometimes you can see it with your naked eye, stripes of light coming off the land. Not every traveler senses it, but those who do keep looking for it in other places, and they find it nowhere but desert and mesa. A traveler can come from New York and feel it. Explorers, teachers, people who know good, hot coffee and densely printed newspapers, but who want something more fundamental, an injection of new world in their blood. Real new world, not a myth that has led to highways, and more highways, or the low, radioactive buildings that offer pancakes and hamburgers and gasoline on those highways. A traveler can come to Labrador and feel its magnetic energy or not feel it. There has to be a question in the person. The visitor has to be an open circuit, available to the power coming off the land, and not everybody is. And it is the same with a person born in Labrador. Some know, from birth, that their homeland has a respiratory system, that it pulls energy from rock and mountain and water and gravitational activity beyond earth, and that it breathes energy in return. And others don't know it.
Wayne was born, in bathwater, in the house of his parents Treadway and Jacinta Blake. Treadway belonged to Labrador but Jacinta did not. Treadway had kept the traplines of his father and he was magnetized to the rocks, whereas Jacinta had come from St. John's when she was eighteen to teach in the little school in Croydon Harbour, because she thought, before she met Treadway, that it would be an adventure, and that it would enable her to teach in a St. John's school once she had three or four years of experience behind her.
"I would eat a lunch of bread and jam every day," Joan Martin told Eliza and Thomasina as Jacinta went through her fiercest labour pains in the bathtub. Every woman in Croydon Harbour spoke at one time or another of how she might enjoy living on her own. The women indulged in this dream when their husbands had been home from their traplines too long. "I would not need any supper except a couple of boiled eggs, and I'd read a magazine in bed every single night."
"I'd wear the same clothes for a week," Eliza said. "My blue wool pants and gray shirt with my nightie stuffed under them. I would never take off my nightie from September til June. And I would get a cat instead of our dogs, and I would save up for a piano."
The women did not wish away their husbands out of animosity -- it was just that the unendurable winters were all about hauling wood and saving every last piece of marrow and longing for intimacy they imagined would exist when their husbands came home, all the while knowing the intimacy would always be imaginary. Then came brief blasts of summer when fireweed and pitcher plants and bog sundews burst open and gave the air one puff, one tantalizing, scented breath that signaled life could now begin, but it did not begin. The plants were carnivorous. That moment of summer contained desire and fruition and death all in one ravenous gulp, and the women did not jump in. They waited for the moment of summer to expand around them, to expand enough to contain women's lives, and it never did. When Jacinta was not groaning with the mind-stopping agony of having her pelvic bones wrenched apart by the baby that was coming, she too indulged in the dream. "I don't believe I'd stay here at all," she told her friends as she poured scalding coffee from her small enamel pot, her belly as big as a young seal under her blue apron covered in tiny white flowers. "I'd move back to Monkstown Road and if I couldn't get a job teaching I'd get my old job back at the Duckworth Laundry washing white linen for the Newfoundland Hotel."
Thomasina was the only woman who did not indulge. She had not had a father, and she regarded her husband, Graham Montague, with great respect. She had not got over the fact that he could fix anything, that he did not let the house grow cold, that he was the last man to leave for his traplines and the first to come home to her, that he was blind and needed her, or that he had given her Annabel, a red-haired daughter whom she called my bliss and my bee, and who helped her father navigate his canoe now that she was eleven years old and had a head on her as level and judicious as Thomasina's own. Graham was out now, as were all the hunters in Croydon Harbour, on the river in his white canoe, and Annabel was with him. She rode the bow and told him where to steer, though he knew every movement he needed to make with his oar before Annabel told him, since he had travelled the river by listening before she was born and could hear every stone and icepan and stretch of whitewater. He told her stories in the canoe, and her favourite was a true story about the white caribou that had joined the woodland herd, and that her father had encountered only once, as a boy, before he had the accident that blinded him. Annabel looked for the white caribou on every trip, and when Thomasina told her it might not be alive any more, or it might have gone back to its Arctic tribe, her husband turned his face toward her and silently warned her not to stop their daughter from dreaming.
As her baby's head crowned, Jacinta's bathroom brimmed with snow light. Razor clam shells on her windowsill glowed white, and so did the tiles, the porcelain, the shirts of the women and their skin, and whiteness pulsed through her sheer curtains so that the baby's hair and face became a focal point of saturated colour in the white room; goldy-brown hair, red face, black little eyelashes and a red mouth.
Down the hall from Jacinta's birthing room, her kitchen puckered and jounced with wood heat. Treadway dropped caribou cakes in spitting pork fat, scalded his teabag and cut a two-inch thick chunk of partridgeberry loaf. He had no intention of lollygagging in the house during the birth — he was here for his dinner and would slice through Beaver River again in an hour in his white canoe. His hat was white and so were his sealskin coat and canvas pants and his boots. This was how generations of Labrador men had hunted in the spring.
A duck could not tell a white hunter's canoe from an icepan. The canoe, with the hunter reclining in it, slid dangerously through the black water, silently slowing near the flock, whether the flock flew high overhead or rested its fat bellies on the water's skin. Treadway lived for the whiteness and the silence. He could not see with his ears like Graham Montague could, but he could hear, if he emptied himself of all desire, the trickle of spring melt deep inland. He could inhale the medicinal shock of Labrador tea plants with their leathery leaves and orange, furry undersides, and he watched the ways of flight of the ducks, ways which were numerous and which told a hunter what to do. Dips and turns and degrees of speed and hesitation told him exactly when to raise his gun and when to hide it. Their markings were written on the sky as plain as day, and Treadway understood completely how Graham Montague could hit ducks accurately even though he was blind, for he had himself noticed the constant mathematical relationship between the ducks' position and the hollow sweeping sounds their wings made, a different sound for each kind of turning, and their voices that cracked the silence of the land. The movements of the ducks were the white hunter's calligraphy. This was a kind of message younger people had lost, but Treadway was attuned to every line and nuance. There were words for each movement of a duck, and Treadway had learned all of the words from his father. People five years younger than he knew only half the words, but Treadway knew them all, in his speech and in his body. This was how he lived, by the nuances of wild birds over land and water, and by footprints and marks of branches in snow on his trapline, and the part of him that understood these languages detested time in houses. Clocks ticked, and doilies sat on furniture, and stagnant air rushed into his pores and suffocated him. It was not air at all, but suffocating gauze crammed with dust motes, and it was always too warm. If the women dreaming of life without their husbands could have known how he felt, they would not have imagined themselves single with such gaiety. Treadway did not tell this to other men, laughing, over broken buns of hot bread and pots of coffee, but he dreamed it nonetheless. He dreamed living his life over again like that of his great uncle Gaetan Joseph, who had not married, but who had owned a tiny hut one hundred miles along the trapline, equipped with hard bread, flour, split peas, tea, a table made out of a spruce stump with two hundred rings, a seal hide daybed and a tin stove. Treadway would have read and meditated and trapped his animals and cured pelts and studied. Gaetan Joseph had studied Plutarch and Aristotle and Pascal's Pensées, and Treadway had some of his old books in his own trapper's hut, and he had others besides that he read deep into the nights, when he was blessed with the solitude of his trapline. A lot of trappers did this. They left home, they trapped, and they meditated and studied. Treadway was one of them, a man who studied not just words but pathways of wild creatures, pulsations of the northern lights, trajectories of the stars. But he did not know how to study women, or understand the bonds of family life, or achieve any kind of real happiness indoors. There were times he wished he had never been seduced by the pretty nightgowns Jacinta wore, made of such blowsy, insubstantial ribbons and net that they would not have enough strength to hold the smallest ouananiche. The closest thing to these nightgowns in his world outdoors was the fizz of light that hung in a veil around the Pleiades. He had a Bible in his trapper's library, and he remembered his wife's loveliness when he read the lines, Who can bind the sweet influence of the Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? He read these lines on his hard daybed when he had been away from her for months, and they made him remember her loveliness. But did he ever tell her this? He did not.
Home from the trapline, recovered from all loneliness, Treadway loved his wife because he had promised he would. But the centre of the wilderness called him, and he loved that centre more than any promise. That wild centre was a state of mind, but it had a geographical point as well. The point was in an unnamed lake. Canadian mapmakers had named the lake, but the people who inhabited the Labrador interior had given it a different name, a name that remains a secret. From a whirlpool in the centre of that lake, river water flows in two directions. It flows southeast down to the Beaver River and through Hamilton inlet and past Croydon Harbour into the North Atlantic, and another current flows northwest from the centre, to Ungava Bay. The whirling centre was the birthplace of seasons and smelt and caribou herds and deep knowledge a person could not touch in domesticity. Treadway left this place at the end of the trapping season and faithfully came back to his house, which he had willingly built when he was twenty, but he considered the house to belong to his wife, while the place where waters changed direction belonged to him, and would belong to any son he had.
And now the head of his and Jacinta's first baby glittered beautifully in the white bathroom without him witnessing it, and so did the shoulders, the belly with its cord, the penis, thighs, knees and toes. Thomasina hooked a plug of slime out of the baby's mouth with her pinky, slicked her big hand over face, belly, buttocks, like butter over one of her hot loaves, and slipped the baby back to its mother. It was as the baby latched onto Jacinta's breast that Thomasina caught sight of something slight, flower-like; one testicle had not descended, but there was something else. She waited the eternal instant women wait when a horror jumps out at them. It is an instant men do not use for waiting, an instant that opens a door to life or death. Women look through the opening because something might be alive in there. What Thomasina knew, as she looked through the opening this time, was that something can go wrong, not just with the child in front of you, another woman's child, but with your own child, at any time, no matter how much you love it. Thomasina bent over Jacinta and the baby in a midwife's fashion, a ministering arc, and wrapped a blanket around the child, a cotton blanket that had been washed many times. She did not believe in putting anything new or synthetic next to a newborn's skin. As she adjusted the blanket she quietly moved the one little testicle and saw that the baby also had labia and a vagina. This she took in as Treadway, in another room, threw his teabag in the garbage, as he gave his crust to the dog and clicked shut the front door, as he went out on the last perfect duck hunt of his days, and she let Treadway go. Thomasina asked Eliza and Joan to get the warm towels for Jacinta. She herself handed Jacinta the thick pad to soak the postpartum blood, and helped her into the terrycloth robe that Jacinta would wear for the next few days.
Then she said, "I'm going to ask the others to leave, if it's all right with you. We have something to talk about."

The story is simple. In a small seaside town, a baby is born a hermaphrodite. Jacinta and Treadway must decide how to raise the child. Should they raise a boy, or a girl? As Jacinta holds her baby, she knows deep down, that the baby is a girl; a beautiful daughter whom she feels a deep connection to. But Treadway has always wanted a son, and so the child is named Wayne and raised as a boy. Although this goes against everything Jacinta believes the world to be, she does not voice her feelings and goes along with it. Jacinta's close friend, Thomasina, also the women who helped bring Wayne into the world, knows that the child will have a complicated life down the line. These decisions are never easy ones to make, and although Wayne's parents love him dearly, Thomasina also looks out for him, and supports him in ways his own parents can't. Wayne's parents do not clue him in to what's going on with his body. It's after it becomes medically necessary, that he finds out and it's not even his parents who explain it to him. It's their dear friend, Thomasina. Wayne's struggle to find himself is so painful at times, that I just wanted to reach into the book and give him a hug. Each character is so vividly drawn and deeply complex and wonderful in their own way. The parents are good parents. Treadway is distant as a father, but he loves his son and he has a deep sense of duty to his family. The decisions he makes, are (in his mind) for the good of the family. I cried for Jacinta. She knew from the moment she held that baby that Wayne should have been Annabel, named after Thomasina's daughter who died with her father in a hunting accident. What I truly appreciate, is that Winter does not shy away from the tough topics. Wayne's upbringing affects the family as a whole, but each member of that family quietly falls apart before they become whole again. Nature vs. Nurture is a huge theme here and you see the devastating effects of both. But what makes this a very hopeful story, are the good friends Wayne meets along the way and the fact that his parents love him. The love they provide is what holds him up. I loved this book. I adored it. My moods continued to shift as I read it and it wasn't until the end that I began to breathe easy again. Annabel is everything that a good book should be and it's a book that everyone should read and discuss.

I had high hopes for this book, with all the acclaim that came with it, but I found it tiring and boring. It was an effort to get all the way through it, and was quite anti-climactic. It did tell a lovely coming-of-age and finding-herself hermaphrodite, after having been raised a boy; her story was not shocking, but caring and empathetic. The author wove the story full of imagination so that you could really see the surroundings of the main character. I just felt that it lacked excitement, or even enough drama to keep the book interesting. I thought several times about putting it down but was bound and determined to finish and not be a quitter. Bottom line, I would not recommend this book; there are others out there that are better written, and more enjoyable.

I was intrigued by the subject, the tensions and the setting. The author has created a highly intriguing novel that I did not want to put down and was disappointed when I finished it. All of the major characters are intriguing in their own right - read this book.

I enjoyed reading this book very much. The subject is refreshingly different, the characters come alive, and the content is rich. I cannot believe this was the authors debut! I cannot wait to read more from her. I could go and and on, but instead i will simply say; I highly recommend this book.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Annabel is an insightful psychological story about differences, differences between people, between environments, between the sexes, between those with vision and those without. I'd recommend it to anyone. I would have given it a 5 star rating if Kathleen Winter hadn't kind of derailed the novel with what I think was a physical impossibility. Aside from a temporary detour from her story about the ability to live with ambiguity, I found the story very realistic, a good portrait of humanity and yearningWas this review helpful?

Lady Tigers end season at regionalsPublished 4:16pm Monday, May 13, 2013
Hartselle High School's Lady Tigers, 43-13-1, ended their season on a losing note as they fell to Lawrence County 1-0 in the North Regional Softball Tournament in Huntsville on Saturday.
The Lady Red Devils scored the winning run in the first inning on the strength of a two-out walk and a double. Hartselle had runners in scoring positions three times after the first inning but couldn't come up with the hit they needed to score.
Hartselle out-hit LCHS 4-3. Taylor Wascavage had a pair of singles and Ashley Boggs and Sarah Ellen Battles each singled.
Jada Hayes pitched three and two-thirds innings and was credited with the loss. She allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out three. Haley Jared pitched two and one-third innings in relief, allowing no runs on one hit while striking out four batters.
"Our players don't have a thing of which to be ashamed," said head coach Christy Ferguson. "They left everything on the field. In the end, it boiled down to which team was going to be able to score. They got the hit they needed and we didn't.
"It was a great year for the Lady Tigers and I'm proud of them all," she added.
She said the team will resume workouts but no summer camps are planned because all of the girls play travel ball in the off-season.

Retired general H. Norman Schwarzkopf, who topped an illustrious military career by commanding the U.S.-led international coalition that drove Saddam Hussein's forces out of Kuwait in 1991, died Thursday. He was 78.
Schwarzkopf died in Tampa, where he had lived in retirement, according to a U.S. official, who was not authorized to release the information publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
A much-decorated combat soldier in Vietnam, Schwarzkopf was known popularly as "Stormin' Norman" for a notoriously explosive temper.
He served in his last military assignment in Tampa as commander in chief of U.S. Central Command, the headquarters responsible for U.S. military and security concerns in nearly 20 countries from the eastern Mediterranean and Africa to Pakistan.
Schwarzkopf became "CINC-Centcom" in 1988 and when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait three years later to punish it for allegedly stealing Iraqi oil reserves, he commanded Operation Desert Storm, the coalition of about 30 countries organized by President George H.W. Bush that succeeded in driving the Iraqis out.
"Gen. Norm Schwarzkopf, to me, epitomized the 'duty, service, country' creed that has defended our freedom and seen this great nation through our most trying international crises," Bush said in a statement. "More than that, he was a good and decent man -- and a dear friend."
At the peak of his postwar celebrity, Schwarzkopf -- a self-proclaimed political independent -- rejected suggestions that he run for office.
He campaigned for President George W. Bush in 2000 but was ambivalent about the 2003 invasion of Iraq, saying he doubted victory would be as easy as the White House and Pentagon predicted. He kept a low profile in controversies surrounding that conflict.
Initially, Schwarzkopf had endorsed the invasion, saying he was convinced that then-secretary of State Colin Powell had given the United Nations powerful evidence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. After that proved false, he said decisions to go to war should depend on what U.N. weapons inspectors found.
Schwarzkopf was born Aug. 24, 1934, in Trenton, N.J. His father, Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., founder and commander of the New Jersey State Police, led the investigation of the Charles Lindbergh baby kidnapping case in 1932.
Schwarzkopf volunteered for Vietnam in 1966. He earned three Silver Stars for valor plus a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart and three Distinguished Service Medals.
He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II and honored by France, Britain, Belgium, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain.
Schwarzkopf and his wife, Brenda, had three children: Cynthia, Jessica and Christian.

ABC News' Amy Walter (@amyewalter) reports:
Democrats are clearly happy to have the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal behind them. The benefits of the New York congressman's resignation were epitomized in House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi's press conference today, when she let reporters know that she was done talking about Weiner and instead launched into discussion about jobs.
Weiner's resignation means Democrats get to pivot back talking about the issues they'd rather discuss, including slamming Republicans on issues like the budget and Medicare reform.
The Brooklyn-based district is decidedly Democratic so it's likely it's unlikely that Republicans can pick it up.
And, even if they did, there's no guarantee the district would be around after redistricting. New York has to lose two seats.
The two seats New York will lose is one fewer than the three special elections in that state since March 2010 because an incumbent has quit due to sex scandal.
Eric Massa, D-N.Y., resigned in March 2010 amid an ethics investigation into accusations he sexually harassed staff members. Gov. David Paterson scheduled the special election to be held on the same day as the general election in November 2010.
Chris Lee , R-N.Y., resigned abruptly in February 2011 after a shirtless photo he texted to a woman on Craigslist surfaced on the internet. Democrat Kathy Hochul won the special election on May 24.
Now, Weiner's vacant seat means a third special election, likely in the early fall. According to state law, a special election must be held 70-80 days after the governor announces a congressional vacancy. But, he does not need to announce the vacancy immediately.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, has not yet indicated how he plans to proceed.

- Teach class without the faculty member present
- Conduct personal business for faculty
- Provide 1:1 tutoring services outside of the classroom
- Discipline students
Since there is a wide variety of coursework across disciplines, TAs will have different roles and tasks depending on the course. If faculty have questions regarding the role of the TA, please contact the Center for Writing & Academic Achievement.
What is the role of the Faculty?
Faculty work with TAs by including them in the teaching and learning process. Faculty also:
- Keep open communication with TA via email, phone, in-person meetings, etc.
- Guide TA(s) on best practices for holding review sessions, correcting homework, etc.
- Provide feedback to CWAA and to TA about TA progress, concerns, etc.
- Promote TA Review Sessions in class and on syllabus.
How many hours can I expect my TA to work?
TAs may work up to 4 hours, per week, per course or section, but no more than 8 hours per week. The position commences on the first day of classes and ends on the last day of classes. Any hours outside of those parameters require approval from the Assistant Director of the Center for Writing and Academic Achievement.
How do I document my TA's hours?
You don't - your TA will document their hours in two ways: their time sheet on myHill and through TutorTrac. In order for the student to be paid, both forms must be submitted at the end of each pay period. MyHill timesheets much match exactly to the hours entered in TutorTrac.
How does my TA reserve a room for Review/PLTL sessions?
All TA sessions should be conducted in a public location and not in residence hall rooms; we ask that you exercise professional judgment in supervising the location of TA interactions to ensure the safety of all students. Please have your TA reserve a room for the semester through Conference and Events. Please see detailed instructions here, which indicate the proper title and description format for the Events Calendar.
Have other questions related to the TA Program?
Devon Sprague
Director for the Center for Writing and Academic Achievement
Other pertinent information:
- This is a merit-based position, and students will be compensated for their time and effort. Faculty members determine how the TA will contribute to the course and establish mutually-agreeable expectations/outcomes for improved teaching and learning in the course.
- TAs do not work one-on-one with students outside the classroom; that is the role of a tutor, and our office coordinates these assignments.
- The faculty member is responsible for assigning the final grade on each assignment, quiz, and homework (even if the TA marks it first). The faculty member makes all ultimate decisions related to partial credit.
- If a disciplinary situation arises, TAs should contact their faculty member. In the event of an escalated situation, the TA and/or faculty member should contact the Assistant Director of the Center for Writing and Academic Achievement, Dana Wilson.
If a student in your class requires additional support, please refer him/her to the Center for Writing and Academic Achievement, or fill out a Faculty Referral Form.

Hollywood Reporter: 10 things to know about 'Choke'
1. Puck (Mark Salling) is thisclose to not making the grade and graduating and gets a peek at his future from his father that prompts him to work harder.
2. The mohawked one uses music, naturally, to help him vent his frustrations and … study, getting a solo on Alice Cooper's "School's Out" and with the New Directions guys taking on My Fair Lady's "The Rain in Spain," both below.
3. Rachel and Kurt audition for NYADA's Carmen (Goldberg), an intimidating presence and herself a former Broadway star. One decides to take a risk, the other plays it safe.
4. The NYADA hopefuls each have solos — Kurt takes on "Not the Boy Next Door" from The Boy From Oz, while Rachel performs Kelly Clarkson's "Cry" — which may or may not be their audition songs.
5. The Trouble Tones are back (with Tina!) — and living up to their name, which prompts two performances — Chicago's "Cell Block Tango" and Florence + the Machine's "Shake It Out" — both elicit completely different responses.
6. Roz (Nene Leakes) and Sue (Jane Lynch) … agree and work together on something, but that doesn't stop the barbs between the rivals from flying fast and hilariously furious.
7. There are lots of tears of sadness in the episode — and more than one person will cry
8. Tina has more to do and the mysterious Phantom of the Opera photo is explained, but the Phantom isn't who you'd expect.
9. Dot Marie Jones proves again why she got this.
10. The prom talks are already beginning for Mike, Tina and Brittany — who, as student body president, has a doozy of an idea for the theme.
3. There's a gratuitous Blaine boxing scene!
Glee: 8 Spoilery Tidbits From 'Choke' (via deflying)
'Glee' scoop: Details on next week's emotional, pivotal episode 'Choke'
As we get closer to the May 22 season finale of Glee, the stakes are getting higher, which is evident in next week's episode, "Choke." EW got an early look at the hilarious, but also emotional hour, which finds Rachel (Lea Michele) and Kurt (Chris Colfer) auditioning for NYADA (in the form of guest-star Whoopi Goldberg, who does a great, subdued turn). For Gleeks, this episode is a pivotal one since this is what the high schoolers, especially Rachel, have been working towards for the last three years and it does not disappoint. Both actors, especially a poignant Michele, deliver stellar performances. I don't want to give away too much but—SPOILER ALERT—here are a few other teases…
- Beiste (Dot Marie Jones) returns but has her own domestic drama to deal with; Jones is totally heartbreaking.
- Sue (Jane Lynch) and Roz (Nene Leakes) have a sit down meeting that is laugh out loud funny (Sue refers to Roz and Beiste as "Black Sue" and "John Goodman," respectively).
- Kurt does a slambang cover of "The Boy Next Door" from The Boy from Oz, all while wearing some very tight, gold lame pants. That boy can kick!
- Puck (Mark Salling) has a big storyline about whether or not he'll be able to graduate (turns out he's not the best student), which leads to fairly epic cover of "School's Out" that culminates on the McKinley football field.
- To help tutor Puck in geography, the New Direction boys perform a rocking version of "The Rain in Spain" from My Fair Lady.
- Santana (Naya Rivera), Mercedes (Amber Riley), Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz), Brittany (Heather Morris), and Sugar (Vanessa Lengies) do covers of both "Cell Block Tango" from Chicago and a stripped down version of Florence + the Machine's "Shake It Out."
- Blaine (Darren Criss) gives Mike (Harry Shum, Jr.) hair tips.
- Sam (Chord Overstreet) is in a tank top.
- Rachel caps the episode with a soaring take on Kelly Clarkson's "Cry."
Spectacular May Sweeps/Finale Spoilers on Glee, House, Bones, Fringe, New Girl and More!
May 1: "Choke"
Rachel and Kurt finally get to audition for NYADA, but their nerves are rattled when they find out it's for the dean (guest star Whoopi Goldberg). Meanwhile, Coach Beiste reveals a secret, and Sue Sylvester and Coach Roz lend a helping hand.
May 8: "Prom-asaurus"
Brittany goes into high gear as class president to spearhead the prom. Then, after prom king and queen nominations are announced, the kids kick into campaign mode, and some of the outcasts organize a rival celebration.
May 15: "Props" and Title TBD (Two back-to-back episodes)
As the countdown to graduation continues, New Directions prepares a high-concept routine for Nationals. When Tina bumps her head, the world of New Directions is turned upside down in her eyes. Then in the second episode, the NDs perform at Nationals for celebrity judge Lindsay Lohan (guest-starring as herself).
May 22: Title TBD (Season Finale)
In the Season 3 finale, graduation is finally here, as McKinley High's class of 2012 looks to the past and present, while contemplating their future.
Darren Criss: Graduation on Glee Doesn't Necessarily Mean Goodbye
Darren Criss, who is not leaving Glee to host The X Factor, is very excited for graduation. While gleeks sweat it out over who may or may not be coming back next season, Criss is sitting pretty, seemingly unworried about what could potentially be a gut-wrenching send-off, a tearful sayonara, an abrupt peace-out to some of the show's original cast members.
Yes, Criss' Blaine is a junior, but the actor says he doesn't see the finale — which has not yet been written — as a goodbye at all. "This goes back to the beginning of the season where everyone was in a huff about people graduating and leaving, but I don't think it's a matter of saying goodbye so much as it is about moving on," he told TVGuide.com. "It's about having a departure point and having grown into another person from the person you were when you started high school."
"[Series boss] Ryan Murphy is a big believer in the idea that high school is a machine where you come in as one person and you exit another," Criss continued. "This last season is more about growing and learning new things and being a new person and bringing that to the next step in your life. I don't think it's a hard-fact farewell per se as it is cathartic change and the beginning of a new chapter. You have every conceivable kind of plot point that could yield those changes between [Finn and Rachel's] engagement, Quinn's car accident… so many things that are yielding new life."
And before we get to cap-and-gown day, there is still Nationals! Disco! Whitney Houston! Prom! We asked Criss to tease the three stories he's most looking forward to:
Blaine and Kurt get serious about New York. You'd think that Rachel was the only member of New Directions planning to head East given the lack of talk between Kurt and Blaine about Kurt's post-grad future. Is Klaine's love so strong that there won't even be a question about committing to a long-distance relationship? Is Blaine in denial about Kurt leaving Lima to enroll in the New York Academy of Dramatic Arts (NYADA)? Real talk is on its way! "That's coming up for sure," Criss said. "Those are the biggest stakes for Kurt and Blaine and that's something they're about to learn to deal with." Needless to say, Blaine will be supportive though, right? "Who knows? I have no idea. It's going to involve music, I can tell you that!"
Prom, Take 2! Last year, prom didn't go so well for Kurt, who was unexpectedly voted prom queen by his idiot classmates. This time, things are going to be a lot less dramatic for the couple. "It's a dinosaur-themed prom because Brittany is class president and she's managed to get her wacky ways through," Criss said. "Kurt and Blaine obviously didn't want a do-over of last time, so they're going to take matters into their own hands. They're going to do something very different to make sure it doesn't happen that way again."
It's all about… Finn! Finn? Yeah, Finn! "Whereas Kurt and Rachel have the NYADA thing, which is an exciting next step, I like that Finn's future is a little bit more uncertain. As a fan of the show, I'm curious to see what happens for him," Criss said. "He's pretty interesting. One of my jokes — something that never seems to be acknowledged — is that Finn happens to be an extraordinary percussionist. It's never addressed! He's always like, 'I don't have any talents,' and I'm always thinking, well, he's a really good drummer, he should consider doing that!"

Will the Knicks match Houston RocketsÆ ōridiculous contractö offer for Jeremy Lin?
7/16/12 in NBA | JamesSmith23 | 1413 respect
According to Carmelo Anthony the ball is in the New York Knicks' court now. In an interview on Sunday, Carmelo Anthony claimed it was up to the New York Knicks if they actually wanted to compete with the Houston Rockets and their "ridiculous contract" offer for Jeremy Lin.
The New York Knicks have already agreed to a sign-and-trade deal with the Portland Trail Blazers for their former point guard Raymond Felton. Moreover, the New York Knicks have also signed in Jason Kidd. Therefore, there is a cloudy uncertainty hanging over Jeremy Lin's fate in New York.
The New York Knicks have reiterated their desire to keep Jeremy Lin at New York by matching any offers that are brought to the table. However, the fact of the matter is that it has become increasingly hard to do so especially after the Houston Rockets came up with a three-year, $25 million contract offer, which offers around $15 million in the third year.
New York Knicks have until Tuesday to match this offer for their restricted free agent. Their inability to do so will see Jeremy Lin under a new jersey next season. Carmelo Anthony didn't predict whether Jeremy Lin will be able to join the Houston Rockets again, but he admitted it would be great to have him back.
"At this point there's a lot going on," Carmelo Anthony said in the news conference before practice with the US Olympic team. "I stay away from that part right now. I would love to see him back, but I think he has to do what's best for him right now."
Carmelo Anthony added with a laugh that it was up to the associated teams if they wanted to match the "ridiculous contract" offers.
"It's not up to me," Carmelo Anthony said. "It's up to the organization to say they want to match that ridiculous contract that's out there."
Carmelo Anthony was also excited about the arrivals of Jason Kidd and Raymond Felton. Carmelo Anthony reckons Jason Kidd will be a useful addition to the team. Head coach Mike Woodson has already guaranteed Jason Kidd with action in the first team.
Carmelo Anthony was also aware of the impressive form Raymond Felton recorded alongside Amar'e Stoudemire. The duo did exceptional well with the pick-and-roll offense. Carmelo Anthony expects to form similar chemistry with Raymond Felton at the New York Knicks.
"I never played with Felton so I really don't know what to expect from that situation. I can't wait if that's the case," Carmelo Anthony said. "I know what he did with the New York Knicks before I even got there with Amar'e. I know Amar'e's excited about that, playing with him before I got there, so they can reunite and hopefully we make something happen."

Wide Variety of NAICC Topics
Al Averitt, Protech Advisory Service, Inc., explained the establishment of the Global Alliance of Independent Agricultural Consultants, which has the goal of consultants meeting and trading experiences with other consultants worldwide. His contention is that the tools of precision ag technology are 80 percent of what farmers see as precision ag, but those tools only contribute 20 percent of the return while data analysis, or the remaining scope of precision ag actually accounts for 80 percent of the return or profit to a farmer.
Agronomic practices became the focus in some of the following presentations. Plant tissue analysis was the topic of Fred Vocasek, Servi-Tech, Inc., Dodge City, Kan. Soil fertility dynamics was a presentation by Scott Murrell, Ph.D., International Plant Nutrition Institute, West Lafayette, Ind. Weed resistance management as determined by the Weed Science Society of America was the main focus of the presentation by Ted Webster, Ph.D., USDA Agricultural Research Service, Crop Protection and Management Research Unit, Tifton, Ga.
One extended afternoon session allowed representatives of companies introducing emerging new technology to educate about new products in five-minute segments. Most of the 15 products were also being highlighted at booths within the AgPro Trade Show held in conjunction with the annual meeting.
A panel of crop consultants talked about their experiences dealing with weed resistance during the last official meeting time slot. Additional free form crop consultant discussion took place the last morning, Saturday, Jan. 26.

Low Calcium May Equal High Lead Levels in Pregnant Women
A researcher who studies lead tells WebMD that the study is a practical reminder for women to pay particular attention to calcium when they're pregnant and make sure that they are meeting -- and exceeding -- the recommended amounts.
In addition, Howard Hu, MD, MPH, ScD, says women who think they have had lead exposures from work or other environmental sources like lead paint should consider seeing a specialist and have their blood lead levels tested.
But Hu, an associate professor of occupational medicine at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, says that much more research is needed to determine how much of a problem low calcium and increased lead in the blood may be. To answer that question, his research group is planning to give calcium supplements to pregnant women to see if it makes a difference in their blood lead levels.

Meditation zeitgeist, October 8, 2009
A not-entirely-random selection of blog posts on meditation.
Steve Bell has been reading some draft chapters from Bodhipaksa's forthcoming book on The Six Elements, and so far seems to love it. Words like "amazing" and "awesome" are used. Thanks, Steve!
Will Buckingham has a lovely post titled "Questions we cannot go through," which explores the art of "making settled things strange" by questioning one's experience with inquiries such as,
"Where do thoughts come from? Or, perhaps, "I am hearing a bird outside the window. Where is the hearing taking place?" Or, "Who is doing the hearing?"

Thich Nhat Hanh, "Answers from the Heart"
Thich Nhat Hanh can be a brilliant communicator, finding fresh and direct ways of reaching the heart. Can be. Find out why Gloria Chadwick was less than thrilled by his latest book.
When Bodhipaksa asked me to review Thich Nhat Hanh's new book, Answers from the Heart: Practical Responses to Life's Burning Questions, I immediately said yes. I've read many of his books and found them to be loving and peaceful.
In the spirit of honesty, I must say that I was disappointed with this book. It seems vague; most of the responses to questions asked are answered with an all-encompassing response of basically to be mindful of the emotion …

"True Love: A Practice for Awakening the Heart," by Thich Nhat Hanh
Bodhipaksa reviews a new book by Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and finds a treasure-trove of teachings on love.
Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese Zen Master, is one of the foremost Buddhist teachers in the West. He is rightly known as a preeminent teacher of mindfulness meditation, having burst into the reading public's attention with his now-classic "The Miracle of Mindfulness."
His style, however, is not the dry-as-bones, here-are-the-traditional-lists style that you find with many eastern teachers of mindfulness. His manner exudes warmth, friendliness, and compassion. He appreciates. He is understanding. He has a rich and creative approach to communicating spiritual practice. And it's therefore no surprise that he …

"Healing Breath: Zen for Christians and Buddhists in a Wounded World," by Rubin Habito
Zen and Christianity may have much to offer each other and to learn from each other. But is it possible to be both a Christian and a Zen Buddhist? Author Ruben Habito seems to think so. Reviewer Samayadevi is more skeptical.
Ruben L F Habito was for many years a Jesuit priest serving in Japan. He studied with both Father Hugo Enomiya-Lassalle, a spiritual pioneer in inter-religious dialog and with Koun Yamada, a renowned Zen teacher. He thus brings a fascinating perspective on the interplay of Christianity, as experienced in Catholicism, and the practice of Zen.
Healing Breath is aimed at those seeking a healing spirituality in their own lives and guidelines for …

The answer is late, but I think it might be useful for people lurking in the web with the same question.
For Windows 7 you have to launch Windows Media Player. There's a button in the district of the top left corner of its window called "Streaming". Allow remote access from falling menu. Then launch Walkmann app on your phone, push "..." button, choose "Throw". There will be your PC in devices list.
I also managed to stream via VLC to my linux os and mac laptop.
Sorry for my English. Anyway, hope it helps. Nick Leti 2013-11-18T18:36:41Z RE: Stream Video and Audio from Xperia Z to PC Dynalon urn:androidpit:forum:post:802d317af70e0867e5f7cd7d70cee755 2013-04-03T11:16:56Z 2013-04-03T11:16:56Z
Andrew Buring

Have tried the USB cable or the HDMI cable to connect your Xperia Z to your PC?

Hello,

thank You for Your answer. Of couse, it is working if I plug in the Xperia as a USB Stick to the PC. I also ordered an HDMI adapter for the phone, which will arrive the next days, to send the signal to presenting devices like Video projector.

But for my living room I actually would like to do this by using Wifi.

My Idea is, to sit on my sofa (which is 3m away from my living room PC) and to "throw" the picture on my TV. (My TV is still a really old one, which is not supporting any wifi, but its connected to this PC as a monitor. Even this PC has no HDMI or DVI Input. I would need an additional converter to transform the signal from HDMI to S-Video, if I want to use it without PC). I would like to use the phone to show pictures (and control this via phone), to watch Movies, which I store on the phone on the TV/PC and I also would like to play games on my Xperia by watching them on the big TV/PC.

I would be glad to get any suggestions... Dynalon 2013-03-26T13:15:00Z Stream Video and Audio from Xperia Z to PC Dynalon urn:androidpit:forum:post:081fc61d1ebb65551b7aaec31c1e064d 2013-03-07T10:48:02Z 2013-03-07T10:48:02Z Hello everybody,

as most of You already know, the new Xperia Z (similar as a lot of other high end phones, too) support to "stream" movies, games and so on to Your TV.

But I guess, I am not the only person who has still a TV which is too old to support this. Anyway, there is a PC connected to myTV. Now I got the idea: If this is possible to stream pictures, Movies and so on to modern TVs, it also should be possible to stream to any PC - and so also to watch whatever You do on monitor, Beamer or whatever You want.

Well, but now the problem: I have no idea how to connect. Of course my PC and Xperia are in WLAN connected to the same router. But I fear I need either some configuration for the PC or even an App which is installed on PC (and perhaps on Xperia, too) to get this running. Does anybody know how to do this?

Thank You for any help You can give! Dynalon 2013-03-07T10:48:02Z

It's official. Former Philadelphia Eagles' wide receiver DeSean Jackson is now a Washington Redskin.
The deal, which is for three years, was announced late Tuesday night, ending what was a very tumultuous five days for Jackson and all the parties involved.
After trying to trade Jackson for weeks, the Eagles decided to release the talented receiver this past Friday amid concerns over his possible involvement with gangs in the Los Angeles area.
Jackson has never been charged with any crimes, nor has there been any evidence of gang affiliation, but the Eagles' loss is only the Redskins' gain.
While fans in D.C. are likely overjoyed, fantasy football owners have to be a little skeptical.
Jackson is coming off his best season as a pro, recording career-highs in receptions (82) and yards (1,332), and tying his career-high with 9 TD.
Teaming up with fellow receiver Pierre Garcon does not bode well for Jackson — and it doesn't help Garcon's value much either.
Garcon's 182 targets were second in the NFL last season, trailing only Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans. Jackson was also heavily utilized, receiving 132 targets in an Eagles' offense that included LeSean McCoy and Riley Cooper.
There's no conceivable way to imagine that either player will reach those gaudy totals while lining up on the same side of the ball together next season.
New Redskins' head coach Jay Gruden is definitely a pass-first kind of guy, but the team also recently signed former Arizona Cardinals' wideout Andre Roberts, and have veteran Santana Moss in tow, as well.
Jackson and Garcon probably both get their WR1 tags removed, but are still at the top of the WR2 conversation.
Jordan Reed, the 23-year-old tight end who broke out for the Skins last season, will also lose some significant fantasy value. There was a lot of hope that the former Florida Gator could become a top 10 tight end in 2014, but he'll now be fighting for targets in Washington's revamped offense.
Quarterback Robert Griffin III may be the only winner in this deal, at least fantasy wise.
Griffin is coming off a poor season, one in which he clearly rushed back from ACL surgery to play in.
In 2012, he threw for 3,200 yards and 20 TD with just 5 INT, which garnered him the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award, but last year he failed to replicate that success, throwing 12 picks with just 16 scores.
Gruden has a knack for making quarterbacks look good. As the Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator, he helped Andy Dalton — yes, that Andy Dalton — finish fifth in fantasy points among all QBs last season.
RGIII should be able to bounce back and will be a sneaky QB2 with QB1 upside in fantasy football drafts.
