The defendants, including the professed mastermind of the hijacked plane attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, are to appear in court at the Guantanamo Bay U.S. naval base in Cuba on June 12 for the next pretrial hearing in the death penalty case.
Lawyers for two defendants have asked to delay the hearing because of scheduling conflicts while lawyers for another do not want a delay.
The judge, Army Colonel James Pohl, ordered prosecutors to file legal briefs by May 24 showing cause why the case should not be severed. He did not indicate how many separate trials he is considering.
"The judge already is seeing that with five different clients and five defense teams, scheduling is going to be very difficult," said James G. Connell III, an attorney for defendant Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, who is Mohammed's nephew.
The defendants are accused of charges that include conspiring with al Qaida, attacking civilians in violation of the laws of war and murdering 2,976 people.
It is the first multi-defendant prosecution in the Guantanamo tribunals and the various defense teams might pursue different strategies that could benefit one defendant at the expense of another.
"What is mitigating for some people might be aggravating for other people," Connell said.
Mohammed is the best known among the defendants and the self-described mastermind. The others — Ali, Yemeni captives Walid bin Attash and Ramzi Binalshibh and Saudi prisoner Mustafa Ahmed al Hawsawi — are accused of helping provide money and training for the hijackers.
Hawsawi's attorney, Navy Commander Walter Ruiz, said he had not decided whether to ask for a separate trial.
"Any trial whether joint or severed needs to be before a properly constituted court and with properly resourced counsel (something which the government has decidedly failed to do at this juncture)," Ruiz said by email.

Five reasons why...will win the Premiership

Harlequins and Leicester Tigers go head-to-head in the Aviva Premiership final on Saturday - but who will triumph in the battle for English rugby's top prize?
Ahead of the clash, we offer five reasons why Harlequins will win their maiden title and from Leicester Tigers' point of view, why Richard Cockerill's side will be celebrating lifting their eighth Premiership trophy.
Five reasons why Harlequins will win the Aviva Premiership
Ever since round three, Quins have topped the Premiership table. Conor O'Shea's brilliant game and man management has kept the team firing all season and despite them losing a host of stars during the Six Nations, they retained the top spot and have shown impressive consistency. On the European stage they have gone to places such as Toulouse and come away with the win so they are also used to summoning a big game mentality. Expect that to be harnassed come Saturday.
England contingent
England captain and Harlequins openside Chris Robshaw has been the headline-grabber for Quins this season but he has had some very useful lieutenants alongside him. Fellow England squad members Joe Marler, Danny Care and Mike Brown have had brilliant seasons with Jordan Turner Hall and George Lowe forming a formidable centre partnership. And then there's the forgotten man of English rugby Nick Easter at the back of the scrum - he has been sensational throughout the campaign.
It's at Twickenham
The stadium is within hopping distance of their traditional home at The Stoop and Quins are likely to have the majority of supporters behind them in HQ. They have played twice at Twickenham this term and have come away with a win and a loss but they will try and harness the same sort of mentality that saw them defeat Saracens at Wembley back in March as they gate-crashed the reigning champions' party with a powerful performance winning 24-19.
Leicester's previous record in finals
Leicester have won just three of the last eight finals they have contested in all competitions and just two of their last seven visits to Twickenham. While statistics and previous records coaches claim are irrelevant for finals, if the Quins side want a pick-me-up ahead of the match, then it is facts like this that will be pinned up on their changing room wall.
They have Nick Evans
The New Zealand fly-half took the RPA Players' Player of the Year award on Wednesday night and he has consistently been the best in his position in the Premiership. While Toby Flood and Owen Farrell may question that statement, Evans has been simply sublime in the way he has guided Quins to the summit of the Premiership and has the ability to change the game at the blink of an eye.
Five reasons why Leicester will win the Aviva Premiership
They've been here before...quite a few times actually
This is now their eighth consecutive Premiership final. While they have lost four of the last seven, they know what it takes to cope with big match occasions such as this. The likes of Alesana Tuilagi, Geordan Murphy and George Chuter are veritable finale veterans so expect their influence to pay dividends against the relative inexperience of the Harlequins side.
They have hit superb form at just the right time and they love bonus points. In their final seven games of the season - which they won - they also secured six four-try bonus points. Harlequins' defence better be on its 'A' game as if the match opens out into an expansive tussle then expect the Tigers to get the benefit of territory on the wings.
Time to make amends
Last year they came within a whisker of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat when they laid siege on the Saracens line in added time for what seemed like an eternity. Saracens held on and took the Premiership title, but that would have hurt Richard Cockerill et al. That final will be brought up in the pre-match talk so the Tigers should be firing on all cylinders when Wayne Barnes blows the whistle to start the game.
They won the game of the season
In the penultimate round of the regular season, Leicester travelled to The Stoop to face Harlequins. It proved to be the best match of the whole 2011-12 campaign. In a match of seven tries, Leicester beat Quins on their own patch 43-33 in a performance of breathtaking attacking relentless rugby.
Bidding farewell to a club legend
Saturday's game will be the last time Samoan behemoth Alesana Tuilagi turns out for the Tigers. He is off to Japan chasing the Yen but he will want to bring down the curtain on his time in the red, green and white of Leicester with a winner's medal. Horacio Agulla will also be playing for the Tigers for the last time so both wingers will look to cross the line come Saturday. When the pair are on their game, there are few better in the Premiership.

Hello again.
Just played this game. Blunders a-plenty, but it was tremendous fun, was very exciting, the momentum swung both ways and was just very wild. Notable for a few things:
- Getting absolutely owned in the opening and playing some absolute howlers but somehow clinging on.
- The same move getting played three times in a row (that must be really rare?)
- A cheeky windmill
- A bit of a king chase
- Other stuff.
As ever, comments appreciated etc
Nice if it was blitz! anyway he missed Bxe6 three times!!!
wow wow wow wow WOW
A real Fischer-like ending there. Nice.
That was fun!

Kinnser: Sales in overdrive
$40M infusion to fund quick expansion
Send this to a friend
- Christopher Calnan
- Staff Writer- Austin Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
A recent infusion of capital positions Kinnser Software Inc. for a mergers-and-acquisition strategy, but company officials said they plan to grow organically and nearly double the number of employees this year.
The Austin-based company that was founded as a consulting firm in 2003 received $39.9 million in expansion-stage financing last week. It's planning to use the capital to fund a more aggressive sales team to capture greater market share, CEO Christopher Hester said.
The home health care software market is fragmented with many players, and he expects to invest in kicking Kinnser's growth rate into overdrive. As a result, the company plans to increase the size of its development team and continue growing its sales group.
Kinnser, which employs 92 workers, plans to employ 175 workers by the end of the year, Hester said.
"It's doing a whole lot of what we've done in the past," he said, "just doing more of it and faster."
Kinnser Software, which was founded in Houston, moved to Austin in 2008. The company develops software to enable electronic health records for home health workers. It claims customers in 26 states and has produced 80 percent annual revenue growth each year since launching, Hester said.
Kinnser collected the capital from seven investors, including New York-based Insight Venture Partners, according to a March 21 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Insight Venture Partners managing directors Richard Wells and Peter Sobiloff are also Kinnser Software board members.
Insight, a private equity firm, typically invests in post-revenue companies that have reached an expansion stage. It has also invested in other Austin-based companies such as software maker SolarWinds Inc. (NYSE: SWI) and Drilling Info Inc.

Hi Moms,
My name is Lisa and I have a n 18 year old daughter and a 14 year old boy. I have an amazingly supportive husband and live in an incredible intentional community. I fell in love with raising pigs, large and pot belly pigs about eight years ago when my kids started 4-H in our small town of Somerset, CA. I wanted desparately to raise my own children instead of putting them in childcare. So I quit my job and started looking for something to do from home. I was very lucky to meet an incredible woman, online of all places. I started my business about 10 years ago. I love the integrity and the fact that the company I am partnered with has been in business for almost 30 years now. With the help of other moms and Beth, who later passed away suddenly, I was able to stay at home with both my kids while working from home. Back to the pigs. I was also able to become a 4-H leader within our local chapter and lead the children and learn to raise pigs naturally. I love helping others and would love to help any woman who is looking to work from home while raising her children. Get free info at www.paid2begreen.com

In cycling parlance, a Wheelsucker is someone who rides in the slipstream of the cyclist in front, thereby obtaining the maximum benefit of drafting, whilst expending the minimum of energy.
In the hands of an expert, wheelsucking can result in 25 stage wins in the Tour de France and the acquisition of the Tour de France maillot vert, the rainbow jersey of the World Champion, a glamour model partner and the title of BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2011.

Third-gen iPad panel suppliers in doubt?
Following a report from yesterday claiming that Samsung was the sole supplier of touch-screen panels for the third-generation iPad, a second report has been published challenging the assertion. Citing a source close to the matter, Reuters reports that LG Display is supplying panels for the new iPad, refuting a Bloomberg report from yesterday that quoted an analyst from iSuppli as saying that Samsung was the sole supplier of panels for the device, due to quality control problems at LG and Sharp. "LG is also in a panel supply deal with Samsung for the new iPad," Reuters' source said. Interestingly, the earliest part leak of a supposed third-generation iPad LCD panel showed it to be manufactured by Sharp, and the company had been reportedly linked to third-generation iPad panel production as early as November 2011, while both LG and Samsung were named in a report from October 2011.

Conspiracy of Beards
85 Avenue A
(between 5th St & 6th St)
New York, NY, 10009
This event is 21 and over
Conspiracy of Beards is a 30-member a capella male choir which performs exclusively the songs of the legendary poet, novelist, and singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen. Inspired by the late performing artist Peter Kadyk and directed by Daryl Henline, the group performs gritty, uplifting renditions Cohen's songs. Since its foundation in 2003, the choir has performed to dozens of enthusiastic audiences around the San Francisco Bay Area. Notable performances include the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco City Hall and the Great American Music Hall, as well as appearances on PBS television station KQED, radio stations KFOG and KPFA, and national radio program West Coast Live. The group became an official non-profit organization in 2006; in 2008, the Beards completed their first mini-tour of the East Coast, performing on radio station WFMU and at several venues in the New York City area, including the Highline Ballroom and the Bowery Poetry Club.
Transforming Cohen's simple melodies into complex 4 to 5 part harmonies, their sound ranges from tender to robust. One can hear influences of contemporary, jazz, gospel, barbershop, classical and even doo-wop styles in the unique arrangements by chorus members. Using the genius of Cohen's words, the Beards inspire the audience to ponder personal, political and spiritual life throughout the show, amid laughter and cheers. The songs have real and relatable meaning which affects listeners in an intimate manner. And when sung by a group of sincere gentlemen, it is a rare phenomenon which touches audience members on many levels.

Apple's secret outsource: 'Even more software to be made in India'
Outsourcing development swaps short-term cost-saving for long-term loss of expertise and quality. I hope Apple is not going down this route for anything too close to its operating system software or primary software applications. Frankly, I'm disappointed they are doing this at all. I've already seen the gradual slide into mediocrity that has resulted when other firms have taken this approach. Apple survives only by delivering innovative, quality software (the hardware is good, but doesn't really set it apart). I hope we're not seeing a return to the Sculley days when Apple was driven by bean-counters that nearly drove it off a cliff.

Official: Chelsea agree Willian deal. So what can we expect?
Aug 25, 2013, 8:30 AM EST
Willian is almost a Chelsea man.
On Sunday morning Chelsea Football Club posted the following statement on their website about the 25-year-old Brazilian international attacker:
"Chelsea Football Club can confirm an agreement has been reached with both Willian and his club Anzhi Makhachkala for the transfer of the Brazilian player. The transfer is subject to a work permit hearing on Wednesday."
So, a pretty routine work permit hearing aside and Chelsea have a new $45 million winger at Stamford Bridge.
After sneaking behind Tottenham Hotspur to seal the deal, Chelsea rate the Brazilian wide-man highly. His showing last season against Chelsea for Shakthar Donetsk in the Champions League obviously made plenty of Chelsea's hierarchy stand up and take notice.
(MORE: Chelsea move in to scupper Tottenham's Willian deal)
To give him his full name, Willian Borges de Silva scored twice at Stamford Bridge on November 7 2012 as Donetsk went down 3-2 to Chelsea in the UCL Group stages.
Willian was a constant threat that evening, as his direct play out wide epitomized Donetsk's attacking impetus.
But let's just consider the wide options Chelsea already have.
Eden Hazard, Oscar, Kevin De Bruyne, Victor Moses, Andre Schurrle and even Juan Mata can operate on either flank and will compete with Willian for minutes. That's an incredible list of attackers in José Mourinho's squad and the Brazilian will do well to jump ahead of all of the names on that illustrious list.
Yet Willian is certainly a man for the big occasion, last season in the Champions League he had 10 shots, six were on target and he scored four times. Excellently economical.
But do Chelsea need him?
He is fast, direct and commits defenders before breezing past them. He reminds me of Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon, but he scores more goals and has a better end product than Lennon and Willian's poise when getting to the byline and cutting it back is an extremely difficult skill to master. Having that kind of composure at the crucial moment is something that he will need to recreate on the biggest stages in European soccer with Chelsea.
So that's Willian the player. What about Willian the person?
After watching reports in the UK about the Brazilian winger this weekend, I'd heard Willian described as the "ultimate mercenary" for his flirtation with several English clubs and his transfer policy in the past.
For a brief bit of history, Willian signed for Shakthar Donetsk who pay notoriously high wages in terms of other Eastern European teams. He then moved from there to Anzhi in January 2013, who up until recently had money to burn and were paying striker Samuel Eto'o in the region of $36 million a year.
Last Saturday reports had Willian moving to Liverpool, but then Spurs emerged as the favorites as pictures of the diminutive Brazilian at Tottenham's training ground were leaked and he passed a medical. But while the deal was being sorted out, Chelsea nipped in and now Willian's future lies at Stamford Bridge.
But he's worth it. Willian is a difference maker, at the drop of a hat he can swivel, turn and accelerate away from a full back, get to the byline and provide a perfect cut back. That seems to be exactly what Chelsea need and already have from several players. Hazard is similar to that but with less pace, Willian on one wing and Hazard on the other would certainly compliment each other well. But don't forget about Chelsea's whole host of other wide attacking talents. How can they fit them all in? Regardless, Willian will get the chance to shine in the Premier League before the World Cup in his home nation of Brazil.
Joining countrymen David Luiz, Ramires and Oscar in West London, will Willian be Chelsea's best Brazilian yet?

Four women who love to read are sharing that love with Heather Meldrum's fifth-grade class at Stanley Hupfeld Academy, a north Oklahoma City charter school.
Book club members connect with Oklahoma City charter school
The women, who belong to a book club, have connected with students in ways the pupils' teacher didn't think were possible.
"The kids feel really important about being able to share something they've learned and something that they've been able to read with people that are from a completely different generation," Meldrum said recently following the group's second visit.
Chase Crutchfield, 11, and Helen Sullivan, 67, don't have much in common except for a book about a family that travels from Michigan to Alabama at the height of the Civil Rights movement.
"The Watsons Go to Birmingham" has sparked an interest in reading for Chase, who once struggled to read at grade level.
"I like the book because it's good, and it's funny," said Chase, one of nearly two dozen students who receive monthly visits from the women. "I like that they're encouraging kids to read because a lot of kids sit around and play video games all day."
Meldrum credits much of the success to the universal themes contained in the four books she has selected for her students to read.
The books that will be discussed by the children and their mentors over the next several months include characters who are fearful, bullied, lonely and neglected.
"Whether you're 90 or you're 9, you've experienced everything that has gone on in these books," she said.

I'm doing some image processing to learn, I'm using openCV with the new C++ iterface.
I have an RGB image, I read the grayscale version, equalize the histogram, then use canny to detect edges.
The question is: does the Canny function return a grayscale image or a binary one? I use a double for loop to check the values of pixels in the image resulting of applying canny edge detector, and I have a lot of values totally different. In a binary image must be only two values 0 or 1 (0 or 255)... How can I do that?
My code:
imagen = imread(nombre_imagen,0); //lee la imagen en escala de grises
for(int i=0;i<binary.rows;i++){
for(int j=0;j<binary.cols;j++){
std::cout << binary.at<float>(i,j)<< ",";
std::cout << "\n";
This is a 183x183 matrix and I can see a lot of values even some
How can I make this binary?
For the Canny function I use a threshold value obtaining the "mean" value of the grayscale image; I saw it here: http://www.kerrywong.com/2009/05/07/canny-edge-detection-auto-thresholding/.

It can be dangerous trying to send someone a message. Spoken words may be overheard, written correspondence may be intercepted, and body language may be seen. Did you ever wish you could think the words and they would be known?
Gareth turned and squinted uneasily over his shoulder. He could have sworn he heard a high pitched hiss. He turned back to continue through the dim underground passageway. It was then that he saw them. A pair of ruby red eyes, glowing faintly a few feet front of him. He had to look up to see them, and that is saying something, given Gareth's generous stature. The strike was quick…he had no chance. The last thing he remembered were the eyes hovering above him and the fangs dripping venom. And was that a second set of eyes gleaming beneath the first…?
Could come across a band of refugees. Could have been thrown out of their town by a tyrant taking of their land, bought out by somebody unexpectedly, fleeing a battle they know is coming their way. Could be proof of what they are searching for, hints and tips of what is to come, or just to broaden the reality of the world.

Defense attorney indicted on bribery charge
Updated On: Feb 15 2013 03:18:08 PM EST
A defense attorney been indicted on a variety of charges in connection with a murder case.
A grand jury indicted Greg Cohen on bribery and obstruction of justice charges in the murder case of Lamar Simmons.
Simmons is accused of fatally shooting 32-year-old Jose Vazquez the day after he testified against his girlfriend's killer, Jonathan White, in 2005.
Cohen is accused of improperly attempting to influence a witness scheduled to testify in Simmons' trial.
The indictment also alleges that Cohen tried to hinder the prosecution by trying to withhold testimony or evidence in the case.
The attorney has previously represented Liz Carroll, who's serving a life sentence for murder in the death of her foster son, Marcus Fiesel, and Andre Davis, a former professional wrestler convicted in 2011 of having sex with multiple women without telling them that he had tested HIV-positive.

Kendrick Lamar's long-awaited Aftermath debut, Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City, is in stores today, and word is that XXL Magazine has given it the coveted "XXL" perfect rating. In other news, the album is expected to sell over 200k in it's first week, but won't score the #1 spot, as Taylor Swift's Red will enter with over 1 million copies sold. Must be nice.
So how did Kendrick fare on the HipHopSite.Com rating scale? We'll be revealing that by the end of the week….
I gots to say its a great album particularly the neptunes produced beat. It's a little hard to digest I'd say for the average consumer looking for the 'hot' new album. But I'm not your average *****, no no I'm not your average *****!!!
I dug 4 tracks on there. People still check for XXL? Like they would have any objectivity when judging an Interscope artist anyway.
Need to give it a couple more rotations before making definitive statements, but as great as the good songs are, I find myself hitting the skip button more than expected. Happy with it overall though, definitely.
This album is a 7 out of 10 for me. KL is a dope Mc, and the concept of the album is pretty dope. The thing that keeps me from giving it a higher score is the average production and the guest features( except MC Eiht, he is still the shit).
I'm surprised with the lukewarm reception here, I didn't like "Section 80″ at all to be honest, I think this record is pretty dope though. I like it more with each listen.

It was announced today that L J Hooker is acquiring the real estate business of Harveys Real Estate.
Both L J Hooker and Harveys are franchise groups with L J Hooker operating 53 offices in NZ coupled with a further 642 offices across Australia and Asia. Harveys on the other hand is a NZ company with 38 offices.
The acquisition is a complementary fit as the two companies do not overlap regionally, with Harveys strength in the Auckland, Waikato and through the Central North Island whilst L J Hooker has a good coverage especially in the South Island where Harveys is not really present.
The move will leapfrog L J Hooker from the 8th biggest group by number of offices in NZ to the 3rd largest player with a combined 91 offices as the charts below show.
As the industry adjusts to the current level of sales which this year is heading for around 60,000 sales as compared to 70,000 last year, and compared to 100,000+ in each of the years spanning 2002 to 2006, the pressure on margins and overheads will and have already lead to closures of some offices and industry consolidation. As ever under such pressure there will always be opportunities for those well capitalised companies to take advantage to grow market share through marketing or acquisition. This move by L J Hooker is just such a move. It will be interesting to see if this is the only development or if we will witness others in the coming months.
The likely result of this acquisition will see a rebranding of Harveys offices as L J Hooker thereby leveraging the brand franchise as operating two separate brands provides no beneficial economies of scale in marketing.
As a point of disclosure both L J Hooker and Harveys are both shareholders in Property Page (NZ) Ltd which owns 50% of Realestate.co.nz Limited.

Obama Administration Announces Expanded Access to Emergency Contraception
Category: Birth Control, Emergency Contraception
Great news! Yesterday, the Obama administration announced that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will comply with a federal judge's order to make emergency contraception available over the counter, for all women, with no age restrictions. This is a major victory for women's health—and for expanding access to birth control!
For years opponents of women's health have tried to conflate emergency contraception with abortion, a deliberate mischaracterization in an attempt to restrict access. But that's simply not true. Here's how it actually works:
By postponing ovulation before a pregnancy can occur, emergency contraception (commonly referred to as the "morning-after pill") is a safe and effective method of birth control when things don't work out as planned. In fact, studies show teens are just as likely to use emergency contraception effectively as adults.
Now, with this decision, women of all ages will soon be able to pick up emergency contraception off the shelves as soon as they need it—and considering it's more effective the sooner it's taken, this decision will go a long way to helping more women prevent unintended pregnancy. No more delays at the pharmacy counter!
In order to get EC on the shelves and accessible for everyone, companies who manufacture must apply for new labeling AND the FDA must approve their applications. While it will likely be a few months before it moves to store shelves (and not all types will move right away) we're encouraging both the FDA and manufacturers to continue moving forward with this process as quickly as possible so that women of all ages can get the access they need.
This decision by the Obama administration is a critical step for women's health—one that's sure to make a difference for women of all ages.

Senior Dogs: arthritis medication -> Etodolac
Original post made by Doggie's Mom, Fairmeadow, on Apr 5, 2009
Have you used Etodolac for your pet? If so, I am interested in finding out if your pet experienced any adverse reaction?
My dog is 11yrs old (lab). The arthritis is showing on him. About a year ago, the pet prescribed Rimadyl. He got a major adverse reaction to Rimadyl and we almost lost him ..
If there are any other remedies that you use pain management of senior dogs, could you share the information please?
Thanks in advance.

The Garment District
This famous Cambridge vintage warehouse is broken down into several departments, but to our mind there are only two that matter. Those who like a good dig should hit the ground floor's Dollar-a-Pound (where the owners estimate they sell several million pounds of apparel a year) before heading upstairs to the women's section, where a trove of about 40,000 pieces awaits. They're all neatly sorted by color and style, which makes it easier to take in the sheer mass of offerings. And almost everything is under $15.
