Portraits of Congo – Mole refugee camp
Children in Mole refugee camp in the town of Zongo, DR Congo (DRC), March 2014. Probably most of these children have seem more violence than you can imagine. If your are not familiar with the level of cruelty during the conflict in Central African Republic, I can tell you that some of the refugees who escaped in DRC have told stories of hundreds of hacked bodies and body parts stacked in churches and mosques ( Google knows everything, just try it. Or check out The War Across The River ).
Looking at these children's faces, one can only wonder how some of them still have a smile on their face and a light of hope in their eyes.
Portraits of Congo
While walking around the small town of Libenge in DR Congo, I saw this kid standing there on his own, not bothered by the noise around him (as I remember there were few kids playing around), busy with his thoughts an the piece of wood (or whatever was that) that kept his hands occupied .
While my colleagues were buying all the bottled water and biscuits from a shop in the local market, these boys were trying to get my attention to be my models for that short moment. The honesty of their joy when I showed them the photo touched me. I still remember it like it was yesterday.
This young girl looked like she was walking with a purpose and not just taking whom I presume was her brother, out for a late afternoon leisure walk. I smiled but she didn't smile back and we both just carried on.
Portraits of Congo
Two amazing smiles.
Both children live in Boyabu refugee camp, near the town of Libenge in Sud-Ubangi District in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) were thousands found refuge after fleeing the violence in Central African Republic.
These smiling faces can only make you think how little it takes to make them happy and the huge contrast between their world and ours. We could do so much more to help and yet we choose to remain ignorant.
Portraits of Congo
These are two of my favorite images I was lucky enough to capture on a trip to DR Congo earlier this year. On the first one, while listening to heartbreaking stories from refugees that fled the violence in Central African Republic and learning from my good friend and writer Azad Essa on how an interview should be conducted (honored to have had the chance to tag along with him), this kid was staring at me through a poorly built fence. I recognized his face as he was curiously following us for couple of hours or so.
The second image was shot in the same location, a small street in a town called Zongo located in Sud-Ubangi District in Équateur Province in the northwestern part of the DR Congo. I stepped away to enjoy a much needed smoke and a short break from the sadness of the stories heard through the day, and this child was just laying there on the tree trunk. He made eye contact with me but didn't move a muscle – he just sat there. I still wonder what he was thinking about.
Museum of Islamic Art
Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect I.M. Pei, the Museum is comprised of a main building with an adjacent education wing connected by a large central courtyard. The main building rises five-storeys, topped by a high domed atrium within a central tower.
The cream-coloured limestone captures the changes in light and shade during the day.
The interior is no less spectacular. The centrepiece of the atrium is a curved double staircase leading up to the first floor. Above it floats an ornate circular metal chandelier echoing the curve of the staircase.
An oculus, at the top of the atrium, captures and reflects patterned light within the faceted dome. The five-storey 45-metre tall window on the north side gives spectacular panoramic views across the bay.
The geometric patterns of the Islamic world adorn the spaces, including the ceilings of the elevators. A variety of textures and materials from wood and stone has created a unique environment for the museum's stunning collections.

Spin off - references

In another thread, lots of posters are saying that it is common, when asking for a reference, to write it yourself and then just get the referee to sign it.
I'm gobsmacked and rather horrified; it seems almost fraudulent. If the whole point of a reference is to get another person's opinion of me, of what value is it, to get my opinion above someone else's signature?
Is it really that common? Have you given a reference this way, or asked for one this way? Does the etiquette change depending on the field or context (I'm pretty sure if I suggested this to the person I asked for one, she'd be as horrified as I am)?
Am I just being hopelessly naive?
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:08 PM
I've done this with a personal reference once...
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:08 PM
I've given a reference that was like that, once. It was because the person told me to, a la "You were a great employee! Just write whatever you need and I'll sign off on it."
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:09 PM
I have not heard of this - however, written references aren't used much any more anyway - in jobs I have applied for and people who have asked me to be refereee for them - its usually give the phone numbers of the referee and the employer rings and talks to them directly.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:12 PM
I agree for employment it's unusual now, but this is to get into a particular clinical unit for my diploma. They've specifically asked for references "to be written and for you to have sighted and forwarded to us."
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:13 PM
Yeah um, no, i wouldn't do this.
If someone asks me for a written reference, i write it. If someone wrote it for me and asked me to sign it, I don't think i could. Especially as it's often followed up by a phone call, i'd probably forget what was in the letter if I hadn't written it.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:27 PM
It's pretty common which is why my department no longer takes written references but requests a phone number so the panel can ring them instead.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:33 PM
It is common practice in a few industries, including mine when receiving yearly performance assessments.
I questioned why as well and was told it is a method of assessing how the employee views their own performance.
Its a tool for the employee to express their own personal opinions of their skills, ethics, integrity, short falls etc.
However in my field the assessor of your work performance can mark you either up or down as long as they provide evidence and reason for the change.
I'm assuming it would be the same with a letter of reference, where as, the referee can change the letter / wording prior to signing off?
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:34 PM
I have had references done for me like this and done refernces for my staff like this.
I do check what the staff say and have offered suggestions if necessary.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:39 PM
Yes, it's common - in fact I've never heard of a written reference that wasn't written by the candidate themselves! I would never expect someone else to take the time to write one for me.
That said, they are pretty much defunct in my industry now - only verbal references are accepted. I'm in finance.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:44 PM
I'm gobsmacked and rather horrified; it seems almost fraudulent. If the whole point of a reference is to get another person's opinion of me, of what value is it, to get my opinion above someone else's signature?
Most references are about getting a job, not about improving one self. Improving one self is normally a review or a development review or whatever.
I am also surprised many places take a written reference now
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:49 PM
JRA, are you suggesting that the only value of getting someone else's opinion is to improve oneself? Perhaps that's the value to me, but surely the value to the person who requires the reference, is getting an outside perspective on me?
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:56 PM
I just think of it as a time saving device. You are asking someone for a favour - so make it easy for them to help you out.
if what is required is along the lines of;
blah blah work here/ studied here between (date) and (Date). and we found them to be punctual, friendly and consciencious etc etc
then why not??
Obviously you give the person the soft copy of the doccument so they can read it and either add or delete things as they see fit.
But it is just helping them to do you a favour by taking the tedious elements out of the task.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:59 PM
we had to provide two references to go with an application form to get DS onto a wait list for a high school.....DH works with a guy who is an "old boy" of the school - so I asked him, he said, yeah - write it and Ill sign it! so I did...I guess if he didnt agree with what I wrote he wouldnt have signed it....
Posted 14 February 2013 - 02:05 PM
yes. just wanted to add. I dont think I would have thought of it myself if not for the time I asked someone for a reference and they said "sure no problem - write it and I will sign it!"
at first I was but then I thought. whatever, it is me who wants the favour!

Obviously what I wrote came out wrong.
To me a "reference" is something that someone wants when employing someone. That nowadays I would have thought is rarely written. In the past it was. The aim was to have it targetted at getting the job, not about the prospective employer learning the good and the bad about the person. I suppose that is exactly why a written reference is so rarely wanted..
Posted 14 February 2013 - 03:02 PM
Yeah, I guess it's very different when it's not about employment.

Paramount Building
This 33 storey colossal clock-tower in the middle of Times Square is one of New York City's most popular attractions. Built in the year 1926, the pyramid-shaped monument was home to the 3,600 seat Paramount Theater. Gary Cooper, Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby all graced the stage here at some point in time; that is Paramount's historic trivia for you. By the year 1964, the doors closed to make way for the corporate clan. A lot of offices have sprung up within Paramount's premises in recent years and it now houses the WWF entertainment complex along with a restaurant, retail store and nightclub.

Review of the 2014 Mazda Mazda6
- A Edmunds Rating
Thanks to its handsome new design, roomy cabin, agile handling and impressive fuel economy, the 2014 Mazda 6 is a solid choice for a midsize sedan.
- Safety | Reliability | Rating Details
Smooth and responsive powertrain; quick acceleration; impressive fuel economy; sporty handling; well-built interior with top-quality materials; stylish looks.
Ride quality may be too firm for some; interior touchscreen interface is less advanced and harder to use than competitors' systems.

Still in love after 45k
by sbronemann on Sep 16, 2014
Vehicle: 2014 Mazda Mazda6 i Touring 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
Have managed 32.6 MPG over 45k so far. Love the handling-it is a blast to drive. Could use a bit more HP. The transmission is flawless. It's nice to actually have a 6-speed instead of a CVT junk. Stock tires are junk. Opted to get 18" rims and 245/45/18 tires instead and the ride quality has improved a bit. Just a blast to drive and the MPG is a huge bonus. Have gotten a best tank of 578 miles and 37.9 MPG. Would be happy to answer any questions as I have one of the highest mileage 2014's out there according to www.fuelly.com from what I have seen.

Just love this car! 2014
by rudy_w on Aug 16, 2014
Vehicle: 2014 Mazda Mazda6 i Grand Touring 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
Just a tremendous car if you appreciate handling and enjoy driving. Has me looking forward to highway on-ramps and off-ramps. So stable and planted in corners! Good power, nice 6-speed Auto Transmission (love the paddle shifters on the Grand Touring), mileage is excellent -- easy to get between 35-40 on the highway at normal speeds, and even in-town, it usually gets around 30. It rides firm, no question: if you want a cushy ride, this isn't your car. But it rewards you every time the road starts to curve, and always delivers really good mileage. Good interior space, nice flat trunk, nice back seat. This is absolutely a must-see if you're considering any of the other family sedans.

Not meeting expectations
by jtb82 on Jun 27, 2014
Vehicle: 2014 Mazda Mazda6 i Touring 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
The car has a great appearance and seemed to be a decent value, but the fuel economy has not even come close to the averages seen on the window sticker. The sticker averages were 26 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway. My car is averaging 24 mpg and I drive mostly on highways. Would not recommend!

Vehicle: 2014 Mazda Mazda6 i Grand Touring 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
I haven't had the car a week yet but so far so good. I agree with the others that it's arguable one of the best looking cars on the road today. I also like that I'm not lumped into the "Camry and Accord" group. There simply aren't that many Mazda 6's on the road so it's nice to be a little different. I can see why they charge more for red or white. I went with white since so many of my friends have red cars. It looks great! I traded in a Corolla for this car so naturally it feels super loaded to me and it is. It's got literally everything. I've had several BMW models in the past and I like to feel the road and that's what you get with the huge 19" wheels.

Fun, practical mid-size for enthusiasts
by kj123 on Jun 2, 2014
Vehicle: 2014 Mazda Mazda6 i Touring 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
If you like the handling of German cars but not the frequent repairs and upsized price, this may be the car for you. The ride is comfortable but definitely firmer relative to Accord, Camry, etc. My most recent cars were Audi A4, BMW 328 and VW Passat. This car is larger than the first two and gets better mileage than all of them...for thousands less. I checked for road noise at highway speeds based on many reviews and also, rough downshifts. I have not personally experienced issues with either.
Full 2014 Mazda Mazda6 Review
What's New for 2014
The Mazda 6 is fully redesigned for 2014.
The Mazda 6 has always been a darling of car critics everywhere, yet for a multitude of reasons, it has never quite caught on with the masses. So Mazda has redoubled its efforts with the new 2014 Mazda 6, and the result is a more stylish-looking 6 that gets better fuel economy while still being roomy, practical and fun to drive.
The new Mazda 6 has one of the more striking designs in the class, and to our eyes is an easy rival to the elegant Ford Fusion. Under the sleek skin there's a new 184-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that provides spirited performance along with pleasantly subdued noises and an impressive 30 mpg combined fuel economy estimate. As a sign of these more fuel-efficient times, a V6 upgrade is no longer offered.
What separates the 2014 Mazda 6 from most of the pack is its sporty, involving personality. But it's not the only midsize sedan vying for your attention, of course. The Nissan Altima is also one of the sportier entries in the class, while the Honda Accord offers an excellent all-around package. The aforementioned Fusion and the Kia Optima are also worth a look if sharp styling and creature comforts are high on your priority list. Nor should you ignore a perennial sales leader like the Toyota Camry. In short, there are many other outstanding choices in the family car segment, but if owning a classy midsize sedan that's also enjoyable to drive sounds appealing to you, the Mazda 6 is a great choice.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2014 Mazda 6 is a five-passenger sedan offered in Sport, Touring and Grand Touring trim levels.
Standard features on the base manual-transmission Sport include 17-inch alloy wheels, cloth upholstery, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, air-conditioning, cruise control, full power accessories, a 60/40-split rear seat, a 3.5-inch multi-information display and a four-speaker sound system with a USB/iPod interface and an auxiliary audio jack. If equipped with the optional automatic transmission, the Sport also includes Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, a 5.8-inch touchscreen, a rearview camera and audio upgrades (voice commands, HD radio, Pandora, text-message display function and automatic 911 notification).
Stepping up to the Touring trim adds 19-inch alloy wheels, premium vinyl (leatherette) upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, a sliding console armrest and a six-way power driver seat. An optional Touring Technology package adds keyless ignition/entry, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming rearview and driver-side mirrors, heated side mirrors, navigation, an upgraded 11-speaker Bose audio system and the Smart City collision mitigation system.
The Grand Touring includes all of the above as well as unique wheels, a rear spoiler, adaptive/bi-xenon headlights, LED running lights, foglights, a power sunroof, leather upholstery, an eight-way power driver seat (with power lumbar support), a four-way power passenger seat, driver memory functions, heated front seats and satellite radio.
Optional for the Grand Touring is adaptive cruise control bundled with a forward collision warning system. An Advance package (late availability) includes those optional features as well as lane-departure warning, automatic high beams and an energy capture system called i-Eloop ("intelligent energy loop") that can store energy during deceleration to a capacitor, which can then power air-conditioning, lighting and accessories for about a minute while the stop-start system shuts down the engine at a stoplight.
Powertrains and Performance
The 2014 Mazda 6 is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 184 hp and 185 pound-feet of torque. It can be matched to either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission (with shift paddles on the steering wheel). The Grand Touring comes standard with the automatic.
In Edmunds testing, an automatic-equipped Mazda 6 sprinted to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds, making it one of the quickest four-cylinders in its class. Fuel economy estimates stand at 26 mpg city/38 mpg highway and 30 mpg combined for the automatic, with the manual-transmission numbers rating 1 mpg less across the board. With the Grand Touring's optional i-Eloop feature, fuel economy rises to a very impressive 28/40/32.
Standard safety features for the Mazda 6 include antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and active front head restraints. The Touring and Grand Touring trims additionally include blind-spot and rear cross-traffic monitoring.
The Grand Touring alone has Mazda's Smart City Brake Support, which is a collision-mitigation system that uses an infrared laser sensor at the top of the windshield to detect an imminent collision. It can automatically brake the car to a stop at low speeds if the driver doesn't react. A separate package (late availability) for the Grand Touring bundles a forward collision-warning system (that uses radar to detect your closing distance on vehicles ahead and then provides visual and audible alerts) with a lane-departure warning system.
In Edmunds brake testing, a 6i Grand Touring came to a stop from 60 mph in 128 feet, which is a bit longer than average for the midsize sedan class.
In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety testing, the Mazda 6 earned a rating of "Acceptable" in the small-overlap frontal-offset crash test. It earned the highest possible rating of "Good" in the moderate-overlap frontal-offset, side-impact and roof-strength tests. Its seat/head restraint design was also rated "Good" for whiplash protection in rear impacts.
Interior Design and Special Features
With plentiful rear legroom, the 6's rear passengers will feel as if they've been given access to a first-class cabin rather than coach. There's also generous headroom, even for those taller than 6 feet, though the sedan's sloping rear roof line makes the rear windows smaller, resulting in a more claustrophobic feel than you'd get in an Accord or a Camry. There's decent luggage space, as the efficiently shaped trunk offers 14.8 cubic feet of capacity.
Inside, the Mazda 6 design aesthetic is clean and functional. Polished aluminum trim accents the cabin, while the Grand Touring's leather upholstery features contrasting stitching. Materials quality and fit and finish are among the best in the class. Most controls are simple and user-friendly, but the touchscreen interface found in most models is a step behind the systems in most competitors. The screen and the touch buttons on the interface are small, and we've found that it doesn't always get along with Apple products. On the upside, a multipurpose knob located south of the shifter grants a welcome level of control redundancy.
Driving Impressions
One standout characteristic of the 2014 Mazda 6 is its powertrain. The base 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine is smooth and surprisingly hushed, and provides quick acceleration. And although many automatic transmissions in cars that boast high mpg numbers quickly upshift to the highest gear possible and are reluctant to downshift, the Mazda 6's automatic is responsive to gas pedal inputs and never feels flat-footed when you're initiating highway passing maneuvers. Furthermore, driving enthusiasts will appreciate the availability of a six-speed manual, which is fast becoming an endangered species in the midsize class.
This same light-on-its-feet character carries through when the topic turns to handling. With its communicative, precise steering and sporty chassis tuning, the 2014 Mazda 6 feels sharp-witted and willing around corners, with stand-out dynamics for the class. The flip side, however, is that the 6 rides a bit more stiffly than competitors, especially with the 19-inch wheels. Like many Mazdas, the 6 is a car for practical-minded buyers with enthusiast leanings.

Federal Appeals Court Rules that Jon Buckheit Doesn't Have to Pay County's Legal Fees
Original post made by Federal Court Decision, Atherton: other, on May 21, 2014
Headline: "Court: Atherton Resident Doesn't Have to Pay County's Legal Fees For Fighting His Suit"
Web Link
A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that a man who lost his civil rights lawsuit against San Mateo County, Atherton and several of the town's police officers doesn't have to pay the county $145,434 in attorneys' fees.
In his suit, Atherton resident Jon Buckheit contended that San Mateo County and Atherton conspired to violate his rights by withholding a copy of a police report regarding his arrest on suspicion of domestic violence. A federal judge concluded the suit was frivolous and ordered him to pay the county's legal fees rung up in fighting it.
Buckheit appealed both rulings last year.
Though it agreed with the federal judge that there was no conspiracy, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that Buckheit shouldn't have to pay the county's legal fees, because it doesn't want people to be discouraged from filing civil rights lawsuits.
In an email Tuesday, Buckheit said he was pleased with the decision, particularly since he believed the county had "highly inflated" its costs.
The County was supposed to have turned over a breakdown to show legal expenditures, but they have not.
I like the Court's statement that they don't want to send a message that would discourage people from filing civil lawsuits.
Surprised there's nothing on this from the Almanac. Weren't they the ones who first reported the Buckheit lawsuit way back when?

Citizens should thank Jon Buckheit for Never wavering. Until it happens to you, you will not fully comprehend what happened here.
Prosecutorial Misconduct for example: What should have happened the day District Attorney Steve Wagsataffe had personal knowledge of a crime committed against Jon Buckheit by an Atherton Police Officer.

I agree, Michael.
This was a SHAMEFUL abuse of power by our government. While Mr. Buckheit will not have to pay the Town's legal fees (which itself was an outrageous ruling), in terms of money, emotion and reputation, this was a very expensive episode for one of our citizens.
That Mr. Buckheit was declared factually innocent by the courts makes this entire chapter that much more egregious.

U.S. intelligence services carried out 231 offensive cyber-operations in 2011, The Washington Post reports in a story based on documents obtained from former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.
The disclosure "provides new evidence that the Obama administration's growing ranks of cyberwarriors infiltrate and disrupt foreign computer networks," the Post reports.
Their story also describes a covert cyber program that's code-named GENIE, under which U.S. specialists break into foreign networks and put them under "surreptitious U.S. control."
"The documents provided by Snowden and interviews with former U.S. officials describe a campaign of computer intrusions that is far broader and more aggressive than previously understood," the paper reports.

Experts advise lower acetaminophen doses
Drug blamed for liver failure, overdoses
ADELPHI, Md. – Government experts called for sweeping safety restrictions Tuesday on the most widely used painkiller, including reducing the maximum dose of Tylenol and eliminating prescription drugs such as Vicodin and Percocet.
The Food and Drug Administration assembled 37 experts to recommend ways to reduce deadly overdoses with acetaminophen, which is the leading cause of liver failure in the U.S. and sends 56,000 people to the emergency room annually. About 200 die each year.
"We're here because there are inadvertent overdoses with this drug that are fatal and this is the one opportunity we have to do something that will have a big impact," said Dr. Judith Kramer of Duke University Medical Center.
But over-the-counter cold medicines – such as Nyquil and Theraflu – that combine other drugs with acetaminophen can stay on the market, the panel said, rejecting a proposal to take them off store shelves.
The FDA is not required to follow the advice of its panels, though it usually does. It gave no indication when it would act on the recommendations.
In a series of votes Tuesday, the panel recommended 21-16 to lower the maximum daily dose of over-the-counter acetaminophen from 4 grams, or eight pills of a medication such as Extra Strength Tylenol. They did not specify how much it should be lowered.
The panel also endorsed limiting the maximum single dose of the drug to 650 milligrams. That would be down from the 1,000-milligram dose, or two tablets of Extra Strength Tylenol.
A majority of panelists also said the 1,000-milligram dose should only be available by prescription.
The industry group that represents Johnson & Johnson, Wyeth and other companies defended the current dosing that appears on over-the-counter products.
The experts narrowly ruled that prescription drugs that combine acetaminophen with other painkilling ingredients should be eliminated. They cited FDA data indicating that 60 percent of acetaminophen-related deaths are related to prescription products.
But some on the panel opposed a sweeping withdrawal of products that are widely used to control severe, chronic pain. Prescription acetaminophen combination drugs were prescribed 200 million times last year, according to the FDA.
"To make this shift without very clear understanding of the implications on the management of pain would be a huge mistake," said Dr. Robert Kerns of Yale University.
If the drugs stay on the market, they should carry a black box warning, the most serious safety label available, the panel decided.
"If we don't eliminate the combination products we should at least lower the levels of acetaminophen contained in those medicines," said Sandra Kewder, FDA's deputy director for new drugs, summarizing the panel's vote.
Percocet and similar treatments combine acetaminophen with more powerful pain relieving narcotics, such as oxycodone.
If the combination products are eliminated, the acetaminophen and the other ingredients could be prescribed separately. In effect, patients would take two pills instead of one, and be more aware of the acetaminophen they are consuming.
Vicodin is marketed by Abbott Laboratories, while Percocet is marketed by Endo Pharmaceuticals. Both painkillers also are available in cheaper generic versions.
Drug companies avoided the most damaging potential outcome with the defeat of a proposal to pull NyQuil and other over-the-counter cold and cough medicines that combine acetaminophen with other drugs.

A news release from TAG hit my inbox today, calling for better access to telephones for deaf people. This saga is really dragging on, but it wasn't easy obtaining captions either. Dan offers a possible solution. Read on …..
Government call for improved disabled access for 2012 must include better access to the telephone for deaf people
2 September 2010
Government must take the initiative to modernise telephone relay services for deaf and hard-of-hearing people if its call for companies to improve disabled access in the run up to the 2012 London Olympics is to mean anything to deaf people, says TAG, the deaf electronic communications consortium.
The Government-commissioned report 2012 Legacy for Disabled People: Inclusive and Accessible Business shows that almost one-third of disabled people have difficulty in accessing goods and services they want to use. Because of poor access to the telephone network, the percentage of deaf and hard-of hearing people unable to access goods and services is very much higher. As a result the economy suffers and deaf and hard-of-hearing citizens are marginalised.
Ruth Myers, Chairman of TAG, said: "This Government report reflects what TAG has been saying for a very long time: deaf and hard-of-hearing people are excluded from many social and commercial opportunities because of the antiquated way that they must communicate with the hearing world via the voice telephone. Email and texting communications only meet some needs – access to voice telephony is crucial for many employment, commercial and social purposes.
"TAG is campaigning for new types of relay services, such as captioned telephony, video relay and IP relay services, all of which are already available to deaf people in some other countries. Everyone accepts that the provision of additional types of relay service is the way forward, but the trigger for action has to be a Government commitment to find the necessary funding mechanisms. The costs are not high in comparison to the economic and social benefits which will accrue.
"We call on the Government to act now to ensure that modernised telephone relay services for deaf people will be up and running in 2011, ready for use by deaf people to make their booking arrangements for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games."
TAG is a consortium of the main UK deaf organisations concerned with electronic communications and is campaigning for improved electronic communications for deaf, deafened, hard-of-hearing, and deafblind people, and sign language users.

You now have two additional ways to handle calls:
Now, you can give out that number to hearing friends, family, & businesses as your voice number. When someone dials this number, they will get a relay operator who will send you an IM, and initiate the call.
But Wait, There's Still More!
Let's say that the only internet access you have is on a mobile (Blackberry, Treo, or iPhone) via a $35/month data-only plan for the hearing impaired. Simply load the AIM or Trillian software on your mobile, and you can place and receive relay calls, just like on your PC in your home.
Now, let's say you live in another country and work for an American company: simply enter the US address when you sign up for the i711.com service. You will now have a free phone number in the United States for your hearing business associates (and friends & family) to reach you via relay.
How is this all possible… And for free when one end of the relay call is in America?
Every phone line in the United States is taxed about 50 cents per month to fund relay services for the hearing impaired, allowing free enterprise services (such as i711.com) to thrive in the open market providing services for us. The simple fact is businesses can leverage internet and telephony technology to provide voice relay and turn a profit while doing so.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) - A Marshall University scientist has received a $432,000 cancer research grant.
The National Cancer Institute grant is going to Vincent E. Sollars, an associate professor of biochemistry and microbiology.
The grant will fund a three-year project in epigenetics. That is a relatively new concept in cancer therapies that has shown promise.
The award will also give students an opportunity to participate in the research.

November 28, 2014
Lancaster remained undefeated Friday night with a 21-14 win over River Valley.
Despite the fantastic finish, things did not start off well for the Flying Arrows. At the end of the 1st quarter, Lancaster attempted a punt from their own 30 yard line, but the snap went over Brent Snyder's head and gave the Blackhawks great field position on their ensuing drive.
Running back Seth Liegel put the Blackhawks on the board on the next series, highlighted by a 17 yard touchdown run to put River Valley up 7-0.
Lancaster would hit the ground running on their next drive, lead by quarterback AJ Day. Day kept the drive alive on third down with 12-yard scamper up the middle, and found paydirt later in the drive with a 14-yard touchdown run.
River Valley would respond later in the quarter, and take a 14-7 lead at halftime. It was the first time Lancaster trailed at the half all season.
With the win, the Flying Arrows take at least a share of the SWC Conference Title.

It is amazing how investors react. In premarket, BBRY was first up +9%. It went down to -6%. at 8:30 am it was about break even. This is crazy. A company reports its quarter better than the estimates. And this is investors' reaction. What would you call these investors.... Turkey, Sheep,.... you choose.....
BBRY has had an amazing run from $5. What did you expect? The fact that it's holding steady means BBRY is back in the game and a good investment for 2013.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Not investors! Trading software!
Over 5 million on the volume already and we are almost 2% down, I call it a cr@% shoot... I'm calling the close around $14... but had hopes when I heard the earnings beat, however the revenue miss isn't good at all...
Sentiment: Hold

Making a slight digression from last month's Probable Points and Credible Intervals here is how to summarize a 2D posterior density using a highest density ellipse. This is a straight forward extension of the highest density interval to the situation where you have a two-dimensional posterior (say, represented as a two column matrix of
samples) and you want to visualize what region, containing a given proportion of the probability, that has the most probable parameter combinations. So let's first have a look at a fictional 2D posterior by using a simple scatter plot:
Whoa… that's some serious over-plotting and it's hard to see what's going on. Sure, the bulk of the posterior is somewhere in that black hole, but where exactly and how much of it?
