ORACLE Arena, Oakland, CA
OAKLAND, Calif. -- LeBron James and the Miami Heat still have plenty of improving to do, the kind of strides James hopes will put this team in the championship hunt come June.
But things certainly seem to be clicking for the Heat at last following a recent funk.
More From ESPN.com
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and the Heat as a whole earned high marks against Charlotte, Kevin Arnovitz writes. Grades
Dwyane Wade had 34 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, James added 25 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, and Miami won its season-best seventh straight game with a 106-84 victory over the cold-shooting Golden State Warriors on Friday night.
Miami also established a franchise best with seven consecutive wins by double digits, topping the six in a row in February 1999.
"Me and D-Wade have figured it out," James said. "We just started going back to our games, what made us who we are in this league. It's resulted in us playing good basketball, offensively and defensively."
The Heat, who lost three of four from Nov. 20 through 27, moved into first place in the Southeast Division for the first time all season after the Orlando Magic lost their season-high fourth straight at Utah.
Monta Ellis had 20 points and seven assists, and Dorell Wright, who spent his first six seasons with Miami before joining the Warriors this season, added 12 points, 10 rebounds and four assists in Golden State's season-worst sixth straight loss.
Chris Bosh added 16 points and seven rebounds in the Heat's fifth consecutive win over Golden State, mired in a 1-11 stretch. The Warriors dropped their fifth straight at Oracle Arena after beginning the season 5-0 at home. They haven't won on their own floor since Nov. 15 against Detroit.
"I'm not worried, because I think they are playing hard," first-year Golden State coach Keith Smart said. "I would be worried if this team didn't want to work anymore, if they didn't look like they were competing on the floor, then you would have some flags."
Golden State played without do-everything guard Stephen Curry, who could be sidelined for an extended period with a sprained right ankle that he reaggravated in a 111-94 loss Wednesday at San Antonio. He will be re-evaluated in a couple of days once the swelling goes down.
James, booed regularly by the standing-room-only sellout crowd of 20,036, shot 10-for-18 and scored 15 of his points in the third quarter before sitting out the fourth. He took only 10 shots in the first half for 10 points, but dished out six assists.
Wade, averaging 34 points in his past six games against the Warriors, was 12-for-20 and converted 10 of 13 free throws to help extend the team's longest winning streak since running off nine in a row from March 20 through April 7 last season. The Heat earned a fourth straight road win two days after a decisive 111-98 victory at Northwest Division-leading Utah.
They wrap up this trip Saturday night at Sacramento.
"It's good but it doesn't mean anything. It's still early in the season," Wade said. "Right now what's good is that we've won seven straight playing good basketball. We have a tough game tomorrow, probably the toughest game on this road trip because it's the last one and it's on a back-to-back. We can't have any letdowns."
Wade took an elbow to the head from Andris Biedrins 52 seconds into the game while defending Ellis on his first points of the night. Wade was down for about a minute before going to the bench to be examined. He returned at the 8:14 mark.
Miami won for the sixth time in seven games at Oakland but didn't look great in the first half, leading just 48-45 at the break. But the Heat opened the third quarter with an 18-3 run to take control.
"They were just getting the ball off the rim and getting fast-break points," Wright said.
Reggie Williams and David Lee each scored 13 points for Golden State, which shot 37.3 percent and went 8-for-24 from 3-point range.
The Warriors hadn't dropped five in a row at home since a six-game skid March 1-24, 2002.
Golden State's most recent six-game slide occurred March 2-11 and started with a 110-106 loss at Miami as Wade scored 35 points in the most recent matchup.
Game notes
Warriors top draft pick Ekpe Udoh made his season debut after missing five months following surgery on his injured left wrist. ... Wright has double-doubles in four of his past five games. ... The Heat are 4-4 versus the Western Conference, now 2-3 on the road. ... Wade was averaging 2.33 steals during the winning streak but didn't get one Friday. ... Wade did lead the team in rebounds for the sixth time in eight games and his team-best 10th game overall. ... Miami is 12-2 when forcing 14 or more turnovers. The Warriors had 15. ... Injured 49ers running back Frank Gore, Larry Baer -- team president of the World Series champion San Francisco Giants -- and super middleweight boxer Andre Ward were among those in attendance. Giants center fielder Andres Torres tossed T-shirts during a fourth-quarter timeout. ... It was the second sellout of the season at Oracle Arena.

VeriSign Releases Domain Traffic Treasure Trove to the Public
VeriSign has released VERISIGN® DomainScore™ to the public.
The beta tool allows anyone to enter an unregistered domain name and get an idea of how much traffic the domain gets.
DomainScore uses NXD data — basically visit requests to non existent domain names — to calculate a score ranging from 1-10. The higher the score the higher the traffic to the domain. The score is for the last full week, the last 30 days, and last 60 days.
Based on my experience with similar data for pending delete domains, I think you'll find the data most relevant for domains that haven't just expired. This reduces the amount of dead link traffic included in the total and gives a better impression of type-in traffic.
VeriSign already offers this data to registrars, some of which in turn offer it to customers. Dynadot offers the data but with a day turnaround time. Some customers have apparently run millions of domains through Dynadot's system. However, a number of large registrars have held this data close to their chest for their own use.
The public tool provides data instantly on up to 100 domain names.
VeriSign might need to put a CAPTCHA on it
21 Comments
The score is pretty much useless you have a range list which would tell you score 1 => 0-5 uniques per day , 2 => 6-15 …. but there is no such thing.
You can only submit .com, .tv, and .cc domains.
It really would be great to know what the numbers between 1-10 actually mean. I think data is only useful when you can interpret it
Yet another useless tool by VeriSign.
@ Andrew
Used it to buy a few dog walker related domain names to forward to DogWalker.com.. will see how it works out. Thanks for letting me know.
google.com has a score of 7.5. Anyone know the range? Is 7.5 the highest score? If not, then there needs to be some guideline sheet showing you the differences in scores because otherwise this tool is useless.
It didn't give any data for Mashable.com or Games.com. Google.com has a lower 7.4 score than a expired LLLL.com has a 8.4 score. And bing.com didn't get any score at all. It still has few bugs they need to fix.
I would not call it a worthless tool as Markus states. I'd call it a tool that you could use in conjunction with a lot of other tools to gain an overall picture before making an investment.
I spent 20 minutes using it and found a handful that got a score of seven. The rest of the best of my "finds" were in the four and five range .
Thanks for posting this Andrew. I find it fascinating.
If not looking for old link traffic…Nothing beats common sense.
Just another scam, I mean tool to get sheep, I mean, people to register worthless domains.
I plugged in some names that I let drop months ago that got ZERO traffic and they come back with scores of 6.4, 5.2 etc. Don't take the bait. How can they put a tool like this out without some kind of key. Since it is hard to get anything over 7.9, my guess is that anything under 8 gets almost no traffic and anything over 8 probably gets a little traffic.
Versign has a better tool for registrars, where you get more info and not only the score.
I'm from Verisign, and I wanted to thank you for the great feedback on this new experimental, beta tool. With your help, we have identified a set of error conditions where a relatively small amount of traffic is being incorrectly categorized within the DomainScore tool as NXD traffic for domains which are actually currently registered and in the zone. To be clear, the DNS responses themselves are 100% accurate, this is only an issue in certain corner cases in how the data is reflected in the tool. We expect to have this resolved soon and will post an update once confirmed. Again we thank you for your input in how to make the tool as useful as possible.
@prosper re comment 7
Scale is 0-10, and it looks like it is leaking in existing domain names, skype.com and others also are appearing in the results.It is typical that subdomains of a valid domain name that get removed from a given domain name leak out to the DNS servers of the TLD as part of the resolution process and are receiving an NXD from the .com servers, so they're showing in the NXD log files that are parsed for this data.
Probably worth scrubbing existing .com domains against the data before any use.
Leave it to Frakes on a Plane to ruin a good debate with facts…
@LAM lol, I'd actually meant that comment as a tip to users to get the most out of the tool that VeriSign had so graciously made available.
I just wanted to let people know we've updated the file for DomainScore. While it's still in beta, it's our intention to update it on a regular basis. Thank you everyone for the feedback
Another update. We've added .net traffic to VERISIGN DomainScore. And, there's a slightly more detailed description of how the score is calculated on the site. You can find it here http://bit.ly/nzcmay. Thanks!

306 Evatt to Queuille[1], Stalin, Attlee, Truman
Cablegram unnumbered, PARIS, 13 November 1948, 4 p.m.
The Secretary-General and I are handing to the Chairman of your Delegation at the Third Regular Session of the United Nations General Assembly, for transmittal to you, a communication urging implementation of the resolution of the General Assembly unanimously adopted on 3 November 1948 entitled 'Appeal to the Great Powers to Renew their Efforts to Compose their Differences and Establish a Lasting Peace'.
I hope for your most earnest and sympathetic consideration of this communication with special and immediate reference to the Berlin crisis, the continuance of which has been and still is an active obstruction to the work of the General Assembly. Indeed the Berlin dispute is seeping into the very structure of this organisation.
There are, of course, a number of ways in which this dispute may be settled. The recent Security Council proceedings nearly resulted in the settlement which was preceded by negotiation. Therefore the matter might again come before the Security Council.
Alternatively you might consider that other and more direct methods of Four-Power negotiation might well be tried with regard to the overwhelming necessity of settling not only the Berlin dispute, but the peace itself.
I have always taken the view that a much closer association with the Great Powers of other nations that during the war contributed men and material unstintingly to the common cause against the common enemy would have assisted the Council of Foreign Ministers and facilitated the making of peace.
Finally there is the important question of personal contact, personal trust and personal confidence and comradeship between the leaders of the Great Powers.
I want to assure you that the Secretary-General and I will be entirely at your service and disposal in any positive steps you may think would be helpful. Our single desire is to forward the purposes and principles of the United Nations, which the peoples of the world intensely desire to see translated into action.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tina Louise!
Facts about Tina Louise
- Breed: Bengal
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Tina Louise's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This sweet social cat was rescued from a high kill shelter. She is freindly and playful, just loves to be with her people. A great companion for all ages. She has a beautiful coat with unique markings.
Other Pets at Ernie's Hope
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tina Louise, a Escondido Bengal cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Bengal for sale in Escondido, or seeking a Bengal cat from a breeder in Escondido.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Escondido already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Escondido breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Bengal breeders who help with Bengal rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Escondido paves the way for another one to be saved.

With his online sting up and running, Mike Harris was at the cutting edge of law enforcement. There was nothing like his operation anywhere in the Rocky Mountain region, nor in Kansas or Nebraska, two jurisdictions that began to call on Jeffco's expertise. And not only was Cassandra one of the earliest Internet decoys in the country, she was also the first to portray both boys and girls.
As they worked more cases, the two perfected their roles, learning to mimic the habits of adolescents. A typical teenager wouldn't be on the computer at all times of the day, for example, so they sent e-mails to suspects at 6 a.m., before I go to school, and then at 3 p.m., when Tommy or Kendra or Katie or Tigger got home. Cassandra studied how teenagers talked in the chat rooms, on the telephone. Then she'd be on the phone at 11 p.m., whispering after her fictitious mother had gone to bed.
Unfortunately, much of what Harris and Cassandra learned came from talking to victims. The kids were from a variety of backgrounds -- rich kids, poor kids, kids of all races -- but they had some things in common. They all had too much unsupervised time on their hands. Their parents were working or couldn't be bothered -- if there were two parents; another shared feature of victims was the prevalence of broken homes.
Time and again, they'd come across victims who'd spent hours on the computer, going to chat rooms, while their parents thought they were doing homework. In one case, a fourteen-year-old's parents were dropping the girl off at the mall, supposedly to meet up with friends. Instead, she was going to motels with a man she'd met on the Internet -- a man in his forties. He told her he loved her, that he would take care of her, that he would give her what her busy parents didn't. The assaults were uncovered when the girl told friends, who reported the trysts to school officials.
The offenders were as varied as their victims. Sometimes they were respected members of the community -- a minister in Evergreen, a self-made millionaire from Oregon. Other times, the investigators would get a search warrant for some filthy little apartment with a computer sitting on the floor next to a dirty mattress. But perpetrators had common habits, too, including "grooming" their targets to lower their guard. Most teenagers, even those starved for affection that they weren't getting at home, were put off by someone who started demanding to meet and have sex right off the bat. It was much more effective for the adult to pass himself off as a friend or parent figure.
You don't have a dad? I could be your dad.
You want to go shopping? I'll buy you whatever you want. You like vacations? How about I take you to Disneyland?
I got your picture. You're so cute...you can be my little girl.
Then the perp would start testing the waters, discussing sex, backing off when the target took offense, then returning later to his favorite subject. For their first meeting, the teen might drag a few friends along, and the adult might spend a little money on a meal or shopping, show how "safe" things were. The next time, it would be much easier to get his victim alone.
Some pedophiles stopped at sexual assault, which was bad enough. But others stepped much farther across the line. One twelve-year-old girl who'd met a forty-year-old perpetrator on the Internet wound up in a motel, where she was tied to a bed, injected with drugs, then raped. The process was repeated on several occasions. By the time the crimes were discovered, the girl was addicted to drugs.
Although Jeffco's online operation was more successful than Harris had ever imagined, team members still had to handle their regular caseloads while juggling computer cases. But somewhere, Harris and Cassandra found the time to fall in love. Soon they were husband and wife at home -- at least until the pager went off, turning them into crime-fighting partners.
Like the Internet, their cases stretched outside Colorado. But crossing state lines to engage in sex with a minor was a federal crime, so they frequently ended up working with the FBI. At such times, there was none of the animosity often found between federal and local law-enforcement officials; in fact, the Jeffco team appreciated the stiffer sentences handed down by federal judges.
The suspects flew or drove in from Oregon and Montana, Nebraska and Ohio. Cassandra sometimes scrambled to remember her background story, even her gender. Some of their suspects talked to so many kids that they might not notice a slip; others recalled every detail.
Harris was amazed by Cassandra's ability to think on the run. One day he walked into her office to see how a conversation with one of their latest projects, Wayne Angle, was going. He saw her put the phone down on the desk and then pat her pager twice next to the mouthpiece.
She picked the receiver up. How was that?

So I should continue building glibc under my own tree (that is what I have been doing but I figured I could optimize away that step)? Jocke

Great idea, it can be applied to all professionals
Professional development used to mean one thing: inservice days. Oof. We sure have come a long way, haven't we? Especially in the realm of connecting with other like-minded individuals around the globe. We're no longer limited by what is offered geographically nearby, so we can get into what really interests us as educators, even if the expert is on the other side of the world, and our collaborators are scattered about and have never met in person. When you have a group of people who are interested in similar things as you and are collaborating, sharing ideas, and offering encouragement, advice, and constructive criticism to the group, some real magic can happen!
That said, you're unlikely to virtually run into this specific group of people in your internet travels. Everyone has a personal, professional learning community, and curating that group of people takes some time and effort – a neatly packed parcel of hand-selected individuals ins't going to be dropped into your lap by a PD stork anytime soon. When you're starting at zero, or close to that, the task can be intimidating. But the handy infographic below looks at how to curate your own professional learning community. Take a look, and see if you can put some of this advice into practice! Do you think any key tips are missing from the graphic?

Imagen y función del Anticristo en algunos textos castellanos del siglo XV
Maria Isabel Toro Pascua

AbstractFrom the early days of the primitive Church and throughout the centuries, the Antichrist's image went through many changes and embellishments. These new added elements had their origin in different written sources. In the 15 th century this legend had already originated a vast and rich tradition which can be seen in several Castilian apocalyptic texts, particularly influenced by the Arogonese court where this theme had been object of study since the 13 th century. This text is an attempt to show how the former doctrinal aspect of the Antichrist was being replaced by a clearly more practical orientation in the most representative Castilian works, which undoubtedly conditioned its image and the way its figure was presented to the public.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The state House of Representatives is poised to give final approval, as soon as next week, to legislation meant to encourage out-of-court settlements in the state's 38 Studios lawsuit.
On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee unanimously approved House and Senate versions of the bill, which were introduced at Governor Chafee's request.
The Senate has already approved the proposal, which effectively shields any defendant that settles with the state in the case from lawsuits from other defendants.
The state seeks damages from 14 people and organizations involved in the 38 Studios deal, including former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, who owned the now-bankrupt video-game company.
Meanwhile, General Assembly leaders and those involved in the lawsuit confirm that no lawmaker or high-ranking politician has yet been called to give testimony.
Superior Court Judge Michael Silverstein, through a court spokesman, said he is not aware of any current or past state official that has been subpoenaed in the case.
"[B]ut he would not necessarily know until the subpoena was returned to the clerk's office or if someone wanted to contest the subpoena," spokesman Craig Berke added.
House Speaker Gordon D. Fox, through his spokesman, confirmed he has not been contacted by lawyers involved in the case. The spokesman added that he had no knowledge of any other lawmakers — current or former — being contacted, either.
And Senate President M. Teresa Pavia Weed, through a spokesman, said she has also not been asked to testify.
Max Wistow, the state's lawyer in the case, declined to say recently whether or not the state planned to depose or subpoena records from current or former lawmakers and politicians.
"I really don't want to disclose what litigation plans we have in the case," he said. "It's one thing to talk about what's happened, it's quite another to tell you what we plan to do."
Both sides in the case have issued a number of subpoenas seeking records related to the deal, including ones to three former Economic Development Corporation (now known as the Commerce Corporation) board members.
Michael Corso, a friend of Speaker Fox, has also been subpoenaed for records related to the deal, according to court records. (As a lawyer and consultant for 38 Studios, Corso was instrumental in securing state financing for the company. He is not among those named as a defendant in the suit.)
Wistow also confirmed that at least four officials involved in the 38 Studios deal have completed sworn depositions:
Keith W. Stokes, the former EDC executive director who resigned amid 38 Studios' collapse.
J. Michael Saul, the EDC's former deputy director.
Antonio Afonso Jr., the EDC's bond counsel for the loan deal.
Robert I. Stolzman, who was legal counsel for the EDC when the loan guarantee was granted.

Disney has been busy putting together a live action film of Cinderella, and now they're planning a live action version of another story from their vault of animated movies: "The Jungle Book." Deadline says that the studio has hired Justin Marks to write the script.
"The Jungle Book" (1967) was based on Rudyard Kipling's 1894 book of the same name. A collection of moral lessons disguised as short stories set in India, where Kipling was born, "The Jungle Book"was intended to give young Victorian children instruction about how to grow up to good British citizens of the greatest empire on Earth. It did this so successfully that the book became something of a guide for the young boys involved in the early 20th century Boy Scout movement.
The most famous stories in the book are "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi," the story of a heroic mongoose who defends a British family from cobras, and the Mowgli stories, about an abandoned boy raised in the jungle by wolves. The animated movie of "The Jungle Book" was based mostly on the Mowgli stories, and you'd expect that Disney's new live version will be, too. The 1967 film was a musical, by the way, with the music the most memorable part, especially the song "The Bare Necessities." I don't know if Disney's up to making an original live action musical, which is more challenging than an animated one.
This is far from the first live action version of "The Jungle Book." There was a 1942 movie made by legendary British producer Alexander Korda, starring Indian actor Sabu, and there was a 1994 adaptation starring Jason Scott Lee. There have been various other TV and animated versions.
Oh, and did we mention that this isn't the only "Jungle Book" film in development right now? India is producing a 3D animated version, and Warner Brothers has a live action version pretty far along, with a script by Steve Kloves. And there's a stage musical currently playing in Chicago. The book is in public domain, so everyone jump into "The Jungle Book" free for all.

Don't touch that ''Thing!''
U Preps For 'Thing' Fling: Carpenter classic set for remake
One morning last week, while enjoying my coffee, I stumbled across that headline in Daily Variety. I nearly did one of those Danny Thomas spit-takes.
For those not fluent in the rat-a-tat La-La-Land verse of Variety-speak, that announcement means that Universal Pictures is planning to remake John Carpenter's 1982 masterpiece The Thing. This is a colossal boner on so many levels I don't even know where to begin.
I'll never understand why Hollywood feels the need to remake perfectly good films, let alone classics like this one. You want to remake the original Ocean's 11, knock yourself out. The original was crap. But this feels like Gus Van Sant's Psycho all over again, doesn't it?
I'm aware that Carpenter's film was itself a remake (kinda) of Howard Hawks' 1951 sci-fi flick The Thing From Another World. But even though Hawks was a genius, that movie wasn't proof of it.
The Variety article went on to say that The Thing remake would be written by Battlestar Gallactica's Ronald Moore I'll admit, a point in the plus column. But I still think this is not only a bad idea, but heresy. Then again, I'm a little biased.
You won't find a bigger early Carpenter drooler than me. While all of my friends were lining up to see Star Wars again and again in their little Jawa cloaks, I was busy mainlining Assault on Precinct 13, Escape From New York, Halloween, and The Fog. And as for The Thing, well, that was just some next-level shit all together. I was convinced Carpenter was better than Hitchcock and Spielberg combined. Has Kurt Russell ever been more badass than as the bearded Antarctic helicopter pilot and resident tough guy R.J. MacReady? Has Rob Bottin ever hit the creature and makeup F/X ball as far out of the park? Has sub-zero paranoia ever been as bone-chilling? No, no, and no.
It's downright sacrilegious what Hollywood has been doing to Carpenter's early-career legacy lately. First, they get Ethan Hawke and John Leguizamo to star in a totally unnecessary remake of Assault on Precinct 13. Then they get the guy who directed the straight-to-video MC Hammer movie to helm last year's remake of The Fog. (No joke, I looked it up!) And I won't even go into what they've done to poor Michael Myers over the years. And now, now they're messing with The Thing. Well, someone's got to draw a line in sand! I'm drawing that line. This column is my sand. Or something like that.
I'm sorry if well-executed metaphors escape me right now, but I'm so pissed. Last night, I threw on The Thing again just to make sure I wasn't overreacting. To see if maybe it wasn't as awesome and perfect and untouchable as I remembered it being. And you know what? It was even better than I expected. The opening shot with the insane Norwegians hunting down the alien-possessed dog across the frozen tundra. The gooey, gross-out alien effects (''You've got to be f---ing kidding me!''). The roster of slightly anonymous character actors populating the American science team's chilly outpost (special ups to Richard Masur, the tough-as-nails Keith David, and, of course, Wilford Brimley yes, that Wilford Brimley as the stir crazy Blair).
I may be going out a very shaky limb here, but for my money, The Thing may be the greatest sci-fi film of all time. If I were on a desert island with a DVD player a highly unlikely scenario, I know and I could only choose one sci-fi film to take with me (again, where would I plug the DVD player? I know. I get it. But I'm trying to make a point here), would I take Alien? No. Blade Runner? Sorry. T2? I don't think so. Any of the Star Wars films? Please. Wrath of Khan? Ok, maybe. But what makes The Thing my desert island sci-fi flick is that it's so much more than a sci-fi film: It's equal parts Jack London macho adventure yarn and Fangoria gross-out. Do I even need to remind you of the scene where Richard Dysart (the old, crusty dude from L.A. Law) is defibrillating one of the infected scientists and the guy's chest caves in and snaps shut on L.A. Law dude's hands turning them into spurting bloody stubs?
No, I don't. And if I do, then you need to rent this Thing, stat! My friends, this travesty cannot go unchallenged! The letter-writing campaign to stop this remake begins today! Who's with me?

text: What would happen if Louisa May Alcott's Meg, Jo, and Amy were modern-day Manhattan adolescents with hyper-literary parents? Weber's sweet third book, presented as an autobiographical novel by middle sister Jo, follows the girls' decision to cut off contact with their parents and move into Meg's apartment at Yale after they discover their mom's infidelity. The author neatly adapts Alcott's formality to mimic the voices of prematurely sophisticated teens of today, but her inclusion of notes from Meg and Amy commenting on the narrative often proves distracting. Worse yet, their occasional complaints that a passage of Jo's is boring can be all too true.

14 February 2008
Her Majesty the Queen this morning presented Cardiff University's Institute of Medical Genetics with one of the most prestigious prizes in UK higher education.
The Queen's Anniversary Prizes are awarded every two years for excellence in the higher education sector. The Institute of Medical Genetics won for its work discovering the genetic causes of numerous diseases and developing diagnostic tests, counselling and treatments for patients with those diseases.
The Vice-Chancellor of Cardiff University, Dr David Grant, and Institute Director Professor Julian Sampson were at Buckingham Palace to receive, respectively, the Queen's Anniversary Prize medal and the certificate from Her Majesty. The Cardiff party also included the University's President, Lord Kinnock, the Chair of Council, Professor Sir Keith Peters, the Dean of the Medical School, Professor David Wynford-Thomas and five students working at the Institute.
Professor Sampson said: "It was a great honour to receive the award from Her Majesty this morning. The students and staff at Cardiff University's Institute of Medical Genetics are all delighted that our work in developing new diagnostic tests and treatments for patients with genetic conditions has been recognised in this way."
The Institute of Medical Genetics, based at the University's School of Medicine, was set up in 1987. Its achievements have included identifying the genes linked to bowel cancer, Huntington's Disease, muscular dystrophy, tuberous sclerosis and polycystic kidney disease. The Institute has developed tests for these and other disorders which are now used in the NHS and abroad, allowing earlier and more accurate diagnosis and increasingly more effective treatments. The Institute is now increasingly turning its attention to treatments for genetic disease. Trials are under way of a new treatment for the disfiguring disease tuberous sclerosis, which is already proving successful in reducing the size of tumours in patients.
This is the third Queen's Anniversary Prize to be won by members of Cardiff University staff. Professor Tony Campbell won a Prize in 1998 for his application of bioluminescence to clinical diagnosis. The Manufacturing Engineering Centre won a prize in 2001 in recognition of its contribution to the economy.

Nonprofits have tax deadlines too
If you hurried to the Post Office today to pay your taxes or claim your refund, you're in good company. Estimates are that 25% of U.S. taxpayers file on the last day each year. But don't expect long lines at the post office; the IRS is hoping 80% of returns will be filed online, up from 77% last year. The deadline (technically tomorrow this year because of a holiday in Washington, DC) is critical for individual taxpayers – filing late results in penalties and interest for everyone.
Nonprofits get a break on their filing deadline in two ways: First, the due date for organizations with a December 31 fiscal year end is not until May 15th. And second, larger organizations can get an automatic six-months extension to pull their records together just by filing Form 4868.
But the risks for nonprofits of not filing at all are pretty dire. More than 400,000 entries have been removed from the roster of tax-exempt organizations since a 2006 law took effect. The IRS is now required to cull out of the list recognized organizations that don't file the required reports for three consecutive years. When that happens, donors can't take deductions from their personal taxes (and may have to file amended personal tax returns – a double whammy) and the organization will probably have to start all over again—filing a new application for recognition and paying the fees—if it wants to continue to operate. Not a good thing.
The "information return" that nonprofits file is called IRS Form 990. It comes in several versions. Time and trouble can be saved by picking the right one.
- Use Form 990-N (the "e-postcard") if total revenue from all sources is normally less than $50,000 per year. Note that Form 990-N is only available online (there is no paper verson) and, though there's no penalty for filing late, there's also no way to get an extension. So that three-times-you're-out rule applies to an organization that missed the last couple of years and then files late this year.
- Use Form 990-EZ if total revenues (the IRS calls it "gross receipts") are less than $200,000 and total assets are less than $500,000.
- Bigger organizations use the full Form 990. And private foundations have their own different version called Form 990-PF.
The Urban Institute offers an electronic filing service for groups that need to do a 990-EZ or a full 990 and don't have anyone else to do it. Information about how that works is online at efile.form990.org. The service is free for organizations with less than $100,000 in revenue and carries a small fee for groups with larger annual budgets.
Larger organizations will usually have staff or outside help with accounting and bookkeeping to keep them on track with these requirements and deadline. Smaller organizations need to be sure they have clear answers to a short, but important, list of questions:
- When is our filing deadline? It's always four months and fifteen days after the end of the last fiscal year.
- What do we need to know to be sure we stay current with all these rules and regs? The IRS website is a good place to start – a list of frequently asked questions is here.
- Who is going to file our Form 990-N? It takes a few minutes, access to a computer, and knowing the answers to a few simple questions. But somebody has to do it.
If you're not sure all three questions have been answered for an organization you care about, then tomorrow—after your personal tax return is safely on its way—would be a good time to start getting things sorted out to be sure everything goes smoothly this year.

World Wide Knit in Public Day continues all week! I know it's raining in a lot of places, but knitting in a dry coffee shop still counts as being in public, you know.
Artist Christen Mattix of Bellingham, Washington knits in public for an hour every day: she's knitting a rope to reach through her town from her home half a mile down to the ocean. The artist is a sculptor and painter, and conceives of this rope as "an urban drawing".
Julia Gillard, the Prime Minister of Australia knits in public – and has a special knitting bag labelled "Prime Minster" (I think we all would, in her position!).
A group in Shipley, West Yorkshire, is knitting in public to yarnbomb the town. Wool has an important role in the area's history – the village of Saltaire was founded in the mid 19th century to house the workers from the region's important woolen mill – and the knitters are celebrating that with some fab public displays.
Wearing one's knitting in public, for better or worse. Much discussion kicked off by a letter to an advice columnist about a small business owner's rejection of a potential employee because of her discomfort over the interviewee's vest knitted from dog hair.

Marijuana Legalization Problems In Colorado And Washington
Legalization of marijuana has always been a controversial topic in the country. Since marijuana for recreational use has been legalized in the States of Colorado and Washington, people have been waiting for marijuana shops to pop up in every corner of the street. However, this has not been the case and although the legalization of cannabis has come into effect, there is a reason for the no-show of marijuana shops in these States.
It is also important to note that the Federal Government is against marijuana legalization and the Federal laws are still against the possession and distribution of marijuana in the country. Therefore, there is a chance for conflict of interests between the State and Federal laws in the country.
In the State of Colorado, after the Amendment 64 was passed, adults over the age of 21 years of age were allowed to possess up to one ounce of marijuana. It was also legal for these adults to cultivate up to six marijuana plants for their personal use. Since there were no restrictions on the size of the marijuana plants that were allowed to cultivate, naturally there was a high demand for marijuana plants that were bigger in size. After the State declared their intentions to regulate marijuana shops, it was decided that no marijuana stores would be opened in the State before 2014. The local government authorities can take their own decisions regarding the setting up of marijuana stores in their area.
In the case of Washington, the situation is similar. The possession and personal use of up to one ounce of marijuana has been legalized in Washington under the Initiative 502. Keep in mind that it has been legalized for those people who are above the age of 21 years. The Initiative 502 also makes it clear that "the consumption of marijuana in public spaces and driving under the influence of marijuana" is illegal, which is also the case in Colorado.
The stance of Federal Government on this issue is quite interesting. Even though many States have proceeded with the legalization of cannabis, the actions of the Federal Government towards these have been non-existent. Its "use in both States continues to be illegal under the Federal Controlled Substances Act" Statement has been met with some concern by the State authorities and voters.

Sludge Released From Rockwell City in Calhoun County
Posted: 01/27/2014
ROCKWELL CITY – The DNR received notice over the weekend that sludge from a wastewater treatment unit overflowed Friday night on the east side of Rockwell City.
The release occurred after a staff person left the treatment plant to fix a break in a water main, forgetting to turn off the sludge pump.
City officials estimate about 46,000 gallons of sludge were released, flowing under the road toward Lake Creek. Wastewater operators shut down the pump, stopped the flow and dammed the flow path after discovering the release Saturday morning. They removed the sludge from the ground, indicating an unknown amount reached the creek.
The DNR was on site Monday morning and found a small amount visible on top of the iced-over creek.
The DNR will continue to monitor the clean up and consider appropriate enforcement action.

Trifecta on 3rd 360 Neuces street #30 Austin, TX 78701 Wednesdays: 8:00 PM View All Posts |
Web Quiz Schedule Wednesday 8pm: Trifecta on 3rd |
Cally E. (J-Boner ) One time, when I had a little too much to drink, I put my number in a friend's phone as 'J-Boner'. The nickname has stuck and my mom is super proud. I am a law student at UT and I have an obsession with little animals in little hats. It makes my ovaries swell just thinking about it. I also no longer find Justin Bieber attractive now that he has hit puberty. That's about it. |
I think the rain separated the wheat from the chaff last night because we had a small, concentrated group of dedicated quizzers. The competition was so intense that even the door of the bar kept getting stuck open because all of the energy inside the room (that or it was broken).
The night started off a little rough when Brits Abroad did not enjoy my playing of Mmmbop by Hanson during the first round on America. Hanson was the original hipster and nothing is much more American than their beautiful hair and dreamy voices. The lowest score for Round 2 was 14 and everyone jokered. You guys know your shitty demo versions of songs! The America theme continued into Round 3 which was stictly about GM, Chrysler and Ford. After Round 3, Jeavon Boner Strikes Back was in the lead, which they really fucked up in the second half of the quiz and ended in last place.
Things were neck-and-neck through the second half of the quiz, and we ended with two ties. Gaydolph Shitler and Brits Abroad were tied for third, and Bite the Pillow, I'm Coming in Dry and Autocorrect is My New Worst Enema tied for first. Gaydolph Shitler declined to participate in the dance-off, but I still made Brits Abroad earn their win by showing us some sick dance moves. The sudden death round for first place was intense, and Bite the Pillow, I'm Coming in Dry forced their way into first. This is their second week with a first place win, so we shall see if their winning streak continues.
I had so much fun last night (maybe it was partly due to the second glass of whiskey Pillow got me), and if I had all of your numbers I probably would have drunk texted you how amazing you all are. So instead I'll just say in sober on a public blog the next day.
See you guys next week. Mmmmmmmbop.

The Town of Ocean City has another award to add to the mantle, as Google recently named the resort town a 2013 eCity winner. The Google eCity Award recognizes the strongest online business community in each state, according to Google's website.
"This is another positive example of how our community is thriving, both online and off," said Ocean City Mayor, Richard Meehan. "Our local business owners do a great job connecting virtually with our visitors and our residents to promote all of the wonderful things Ocean City has to offer."
Google worked with an independent research firm, Ipsos MORI, to analyze the online strength of local small businesses in cities in all 50 states. The city with the highest scores in each state was designated a 2013 Google eCity.

Senate Democrats are making plans to force a floor vote on legislation that would invalidate Arizona's controversial immigration statute if the Supreme Court upholds the law this summer.
Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) will announce the fallback legislation at a hearing on the Arizona law Tuesday, a day before the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in a suit to determine whether Arizona had the authority to enact the 2010 state crackdown.
The legislation would have little chance of passing in a stalemated Senate or being approved by a GOP-held House, but it would allow Democrats to push their electoral advantage with Latino voters just as the presidential campaign heats up in July.
The plan is to allow Democrats a route to express displeasure with the Arizona law if the court allows it to stand, and it would force Republicans to take a clear position on the law during the height of the presidential campaign. The immigration law is deeply unpopular with Latino voters, who could be key to the outcome of the presidential and Senate races in several Western states.

Wade's Ex Tries to Abduct His Children.
Wade's ex, Siohvaughn Funches-Wade, was arrested this week for trying to abduct his children.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: This is just sad. Shame they can't work it out for the kids.
Dwyane Wade has asked a Chicago judge to suspend his ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches-Wade visitation after an incident over the weekend which led to her arrest. Wade's ex, Siohvaughn, was charged with two counts of attempted child abduction, two counts of unlawful visitation interference, and one count of resisting arrest. That's one way to celebration Father's Day.
The two boys were to be picked up by Wade's sister at noon on Saturday to spend Father's Day with Wade. Siohvaughn apparently didn't think the boys spending father's day with their father was a good idea and ignored Wade's sister in trying to pick the boys are previously agreed upon. After several hours the sheriff's office got involved, Siohvaughn attempted to leave the house and was taken into custody.
It's apparent both parents clearly love their children and want to spend time with them, but this type of incident helps no one and now threatens to remove more of the mother's access to her children. The whole incident is just sad.

Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney shakes hands after arriving at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in New Orleans, Tuesday, Aug. 21, 2012. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)
Updated: August 21, 2012 3:59PM
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is calling on Republican Todd Akin to abandon his U.S. Senate bid in the Midwest state of Missouri after the congressman's comments about rape.
Romney on Tuesday pointed to a statement from a group of current and former Missouri legislators who urged Akin to drop his bid against Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.
Romney says, quote, "I think he should accept their counsel and exit the Senate race."
Akin said that a woman's body has ways to prevent pregnancy in cases of what he called "legitimate rape."
Romney had previously denounced Akin's comments, but he had not yet urged the congressman to drop out.
Akin has vowed to stay in the race and has described the calls to leave an "overreaction."

Recently I came across a nice blog with some great scrap quilt ideas. I especially like the Log Cabin in colors with the white sashing and the Fruit Stripe Gum quilt.
My guild wants me to do another scrap quilt class next summer and I could use some of your creative ideas if you would care to share them. I will, of course, give credit to you in the class and in the handouts. Last time I taught this class I used Fran's 5 Across and 5 Down as one of the techniques. Thanking you in advance!

Teresa, Quiltville.com has tons of scrap quilt patterns! Donna |
I'll mention that book I just used again:"Successful Scrap Quilts from Simple Rectangles" . It may be in a local library or your guild's library for you to check out. Or the link I provided is to Amazon where you can page though and see a couple different looks. In this book you will see how many very unique variations you can get from the same approach -- simple 2" x 3 1/2" rectangles. I would think this would be wonderful for a class for a number of reasons: 1) everyone's tops would be so different; 2) they could come in with a wad of their scraps already cut and leave with a finished top; 3) with a lot of people's scraps to pull from, I would think the perfect scrap for everyone's top would be right there in that room; and 4) there are tops there for every skill level from the square-in-a-square bullseyes in my pink & purple top that only had to be matched at the junction of the opposite color outer squares to the green one that had a zillion rectangles to line up properly. IF anyone in your class is interested in the book the authors go into a good deal of detail about how colors interact and which combinations make successful scrap quilts. |

Sorry, the Fruit Striped Gum quilt was on another blog. Cheri has lots of good scrap quilt ideas! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cherry House Quilts
Wow! I love the Fruit Stripe Gum illustration. So vibrant with those bright colors but I can see it working just as well, altho with a very different effect, with Civil War reproduction fabrics. Or whatever everyone has in their scrap bags. The only thing is when the blocks get trimmed and joined that's a ton of bias edges to match up. Is everyone in your guild ready for that challenge? |
- Posted by teresa_nc7 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 11, 10 at 13:52
The Fruit Stripe quilt is done on a foundation - either thin non-woven interfacing or very thin muslin so the bias edges are not a problem. Thanks for the book link, I'll check that out. I'm teaching many different blocks and scrap techniques in the class, not one block/go-home-with-a-quilt-top type of class. Last time I taught 9 different blocks/techniques. Teresa |
- Posted by teresa_nc7 (My Page) on Fri, Nov 12, 10 at 10:58
I thought that book you posted about looked familiar, imrainey! I have that book! Might do the Bento block or another as part of my class. Thanks for jogging my memory! |
I hope it's helpful for your class or just helpful in general. I had my copy for 8 or so years before I did a top. It's a very useful concept and the way they articulated working colors in a scrap quilt were helpful to me. |
