Jury deliberations in the trial of Miguel Moya and his parents, Jose and Rafaela, began on Monday, February 1. Right away jurors dispensed with several of the fourteen charges. They unanimously voted "not guilty" on a count of bribery conspiracy against the parents as there was no evidence they had been part of the scheme to collect the alleged bribe.
They voted to convict Miguel Moya of witness-tampering owing to a conversation he had with one of his wife's relatives, Mark Vera, in which he encouraged Vera to lie to federal agents about money he had given Vera.
And they voted to convict Jose Moya of witness-tampering because he asked the man who sold him the Keys home to tell IRS agents he was still paying off the mortgage when he knew that was a lie. The calls between Miguel and Vera, and those between Jose and the former owner of the Keys home, were recorded on FBI wiretaps.
The remaining counts revolved around one question: Did Miguel Moya accept a bribe? Several jurors said the videotape quickly became the key to the entire case. They watched it over and over, and dissected its transcription. On their first vote, seven jurors believed Miguel Moya was guilty and five voted not guilty.
By the second day, the vote had shifted slightly, with eight members of the jury voting to convict Moya and four voting to acquit. On the third day of deliberations, it was still eight to four. Tensions began to mount in the jury room. Finally, on day four, jurors seemed to have hardened in their positions. Nine jurors were now voting to convict Moya of taking a bribe; two were steadfastly voting "not guilty," and one had declared herself undecided but leaning toward "not guilty." Realizing they were at an impasse, they sent a note to Judge King informing him they were hopelessly deadlocked. That afternoon King declared a mistrial and sent the jury home.
Inexplicably the judge never asked if they had reached a verdict on any counts, and the jurors didn't think to tell him they had. As a result the votes to convict Miguel and Jose Moya of witness-tampering, and to acquit the parents of conspiracy, were nullified. Both sides, prosecution and defense, will have to start from scratch when the case is retried beginning April 5.
One of those "not guilty" votes was cast by the sole male on the jury, Juror 6 (all the jurors interviewed for this story asked that their names not be used), who said the government never proved its case. He certainly didn't believe Moya's ex-wife Virginia, he said, and he wasn't comfortable with the videotape.
"The videotape was strong, it was very powerful," he acknowledged, "but when you go back to the root of it, I started having problems." FBI undercover agent Jack Garcia was sent to trick Moya into confessing, he said. "The guy they used was a specialist," Juror 6 noted. "The intimidation factor that was used in that tape was incredible." He concluded that Moya would have said anything to get away. "How did he know [Garcia] wasn't going to blow his head off right there in the parking garage if he didn't start agreeing with him?" asked the man, a 36-year-old dog trainer.
Juror 6 added that the other "not guilty" vote (Juror 12) agreed with his interpretation of the encounter in the parking garage. But Juror 12 went even further: She believed the videotape had been tampered with and couldn't be trusted. The audio and the video didn't match up, Juror 12 noticed, and it made her suspicious. "I think it was doctored, too," said Juror 6, "but that wasn't my main concern."
It was ludicrous, Juror 6 thought, for the government to insist that the Moyas were not in the drug business with Ray Perez. "It was obvious the family was all over the drug thing," he said. "To say they weren't, well, that was just dumb." Juror 6 also found Ray Perez to be entertaining. "He was a character," he laughed. "The guy is obviously very tight with his family."
Juror 3 was the undecided vote leaning toward acquittal. A twenty-year-old student, she said she just couldn't reach a decision, but if deliberations had continued, "I would have said 'not guilty.'" A number of issues bothered her about the government's case, and she felt Virginia Perez wasn't telling the truth. "She's a liar," Juror 3 flatly declared.
"A lot of the jurors thought he did take a bribe because of the video," she continued. "I still think he just wanted to get the guy out of his face and would tell him anything. The agent was very threatening. I think he really scared him." She said Moya repeatedly wiped the perspiration from his brow in the video, which proved to her he was extremely nervous.
Juror 3 was also swayed by Ray Perez's testimony. "I thought he was just lying in the beginning," she said, "but in the end I did believe Ray."
The jury forewoman (Juror 1) and Juror 11 were two of the stronger advocates for convicting Moya, though both acknowledged the testimony from Virginia Perez couldn't be trusted. The key for them, they said, was the videotape. "It was very strong evidence," Juror 11 reported, but she wished the quality of the tape had been better: "It might have made a difference for the people voting 'not guilty.'" But she couldn't sway those jurors who thought the tape had been manipulated. "I tried to argue that they would not have put it into evidence if it had been tampered with," she said, "but they still felt something was wrong with the tape."

Kass: 10 Risks We Face
This column originally appeared on Real Money Pro at 9:40 a.m. EDT on June 25.
NEW YORK ( Real Money) --
"And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides."Despite the recent turmoil, the U.S. stock market is seen almost universally by strategists and investors to have limited downside risk. This unanimity of opinion should concern everyone. It sure concerns me! Given this consensus view of limited downside market risk and a general lack of fear, it seems timely to consider 10 reasons why the market might be vulnerable to a more meaningful downside. 1. U.S. economic growth slows more than consensus. Led by a pause in the housing market and a turndown in retail sales, the trajectory of domestic growth disappoints in the second half and into 2014. Most notably, the residential real estate market, which has been the straw that stirs the drink of the U.S. economy, falters under the weight of a gap in home prices (double-digit increases year over year) combined with a spirited climb in conventional mortgage rates. These two factors serve to deliver a near-30% rise in the carrying cost of the average mortgage and jeopardize the recovery in housing demand that has taken place over the past two years. Home prices reverse lower in the months ahead, owing to higher mortgage rates/lower affordability, the supply of foreclosed properties put on the market and because of the reduced involvement of new-age institutional buyers of property and homes (hedge funds, et al.). In turn, this has the effect of denting household net worth, consumer confidence, personal expenditures, GDP and ultimately corporate profits. The Fed chairman's 3% real GDP growth projection over the balance of the year misses dramatically. Real GDP grows by only +1% to +2% over the next seven quarters. The low level of actual nominal growth provides little top-line growth, a difficult challenge to profitability -- 2013 S&P profits come in at only $103 a share, and consensus projections for next year are lowered to under $100 a share. The entire notion of a self-sustaining recovery (unaided by more monetary accommodation) comes into question. Market participants come to the conclusion that the U.S. economy requires continued (but unlikely) quantitative easing. Investors come to accept that the U.S. is in some form of liquidity trap (light) with attendant negative implications for profits, dividends, share buybacks and merger and acquisition activity.

text: RICHMOND, Ky. (AP) — A jury has convicted a Richmond woman of charges in the slaying and dismemberment of her ex-boyfriend's wife. Media reported jurors found 30-year-old Christina Marcum guilty of complicity to commit murder, complicity to tampering with physical evidence and hindering prosecution in the 2011 death of Angela Frazier-Singleton. Her dismembered body was found in trash bags about a week after she was last seen alive. Marcum's attorney had argued that she knew about the slaying, but didn't participate in it and didn't go to police because she feared her former co-defendant, Jason Singleton. Prosecutors said the two worked together to kill Frazier-Singleton. Jason Singleton pleaded guilty last year to complicity to murder and is serving a 30-year prison sentence. Jurors recommended Marcum serve 30 years. Formal sentencing will be May 23.

We're All OK: Celebrity Mishaps
Injury ReportKyra Sedgewick, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Tom Hanks are all ok.
Aug 8, 2013 | 06:07 PM
This week, Kevin Bacon posted photos of wife Kyra Sedgewick in the ER after slicing the tip of her finger while chopping kale.
"The Closer" star is bandaged up and back in action, but we thought we'd take a look back at some other big injuries the stars shared this year.
In June, Tom Hanks shared this photo of his swollen elbow...
...and then followed it up with this graphic video of his elbow being drained by a doctor. The "Lucky Guy" star was back onstage that night.
In Mercedes Masohn was "t-boned" by a reckless driver. Her injuries were not serious, but she took the opportunity to remind everyone to be careful on the road.
Golden State Warriors star shooter Stephen Curry suffered an eye injury from Denver Nuggets guard Corey Brewer during Game 4 of a 2013 first-round Western Conference playoff series.
Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo received a gruesome eye injury in a match against Levante, but went on to score in spite of it. He shared this photo after the match to show his fans that he was alright.
Be careful out there, everyone.
What do you think?

Kisses and Cuddles
(This tip works best at the movies) When you are sitting next to him, if you can, move the arm rest up so it isn't in the way. As the movie proceeds, slowly move closer to him. Lean your head in so it brushes up against his head ever so slightly. Then, he will probobly put his arm around you. His hand will be just hanging there which is a sign of 'grab it', so grab it so you both are holding hands. You don't need to kiss to feel the extremes of this. Kissing helps but if you don't it still feels SO good to have your head in the nook of his neck and to hold his hand. :)

S Barnes - 24/09/2013
Love this dance, certainly got the feel good factor. All my class loved it
Susanne Oates - 17/09/2013
Linda and Brian taught this in a workshop at the weekend and it seemed to go down well. The step sequences are a bit different but still within the reach of most and interesting enough for Intermediates. The stomp/hold before the restart fits perfectly.
ANGELA Stokes - 06/09/2013
taught this about three weeks ago class enjoyed it if you liked 1-2-3-4 you will like this one
Linda Williams - 04/09/2013
Been teaching this for last three weeks. Great dance, enjoyed by class even non country fans!

Love it..!! Nice Dance from Niels!! One for the Country Fans... Big thumbs up from class
Lois Lightfoot - 17/06/2013
This dance really has that feel good factor, nothing too hard about it but with enough to keep all the dances interested. There's one restart/3 count hold on the 7th wall, but its stands out so well you know just where it goes, the dance works well with the track one my class liked right away.
Margaret Hains - 17/05/2013
Niels taught this at a recent workshop and it went down very well on the day 64/2 wall improver dance very catchy piece of country music by Ann Tayler (Go Momma Go) no difficult choreography 1 tag which is so easy to hear in the music it is one of those dances Intermediates will like too

BEST RECORD/CD STORE Miami 2004 - Blue Note Records
Readers' Choice: Virgin Megastore
During the Eighties, Miami was littered with record shops. There were no fewer than six independent and a couple of chain stores along North Miami Beach Boulevard alone. Maybe it was the changeover to the higher wholesale prices of CDs or the explosion of the Internet, but now there's just one real player in North Miami-Dade. Not that Blue Note is a bad record store. It's great by any standard, and what would've been at a half-dozen locations is now conveniently collected at two spots. (Though some audiophiles legitimately complain about the ghettoization of jazz -- which was Blue Note's raison d'être in the golden Eighties -- to a warehouse a mile away from the main store.)

Unlisted Brand Nizoral AD Shampoo
Average Rating 4.4/5 |
Review by bleuxs
i have very bad dandruff problem ever since puberty. Nothing really works for me (Head&Shoulders, or even the T-gel from Neutrogena that i eventually became allergic too). I also tried Klorane's shampoo for greasy hair (dandruff and greasy always go hand in hand for me). it worked for a while then stopped working....Nizoral really is the best. Not only it makes my hair light weighted and frech, it also prevents the itchiness and dandruff. My problem improved so much.

I have been trying to get both internal sound and mic working on an HP Pavilion dv6-1053 for awhile now. I read through a lot of posts and have seen no solid solutions. I am running Karmic 9.10, but this will work for Jaunty as well (untested on others.) This will work for other computers as well, you just have to match your codec from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1043568. Just find your model.
First, my sound card and codec.
Code:$ lspci | grep Audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)Code:cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec Codec: IDT 92HD75B3X5 Codec: LSI ID 1040 Codec: Intel G45 DEVCTG1. Upgrade Alsa form the latest snapshot (instructions courtesy of ALPHO2K)Code:lspci -v | less 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 3627 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 33 Memory at da500000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel
Installation :
To do this, we must begin by determining our version of alsa as follows :
To avoid problems during the upgrade of Alsa-utils, we need to stop it with the following command :Code:cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.18rc3.
We must then install the necessary tools to compile along with the kernel headers :Code:sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop
Then, we go in our personal folder and download alsa-driver, alsa-lib and alsa-utils :Code:sudo apt-get -y install build-essential ncurses-dev gettext xmlto sudo apt-get -y install linux-headers-`uname -r` libncursesw5-dev
After that, we create a new folder for the compilation and installation of the 3 files. Then, we move the 3 tar files that we just downloaded in this folder :Code:cd ~ rm -rf ~/alsa* wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.21.tar.bz2 wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/alsa-lib-1.0.21a.tar.bz2 wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/utils/alsa-utils-1.0.21.tar.bz2
Unpack the 3 tar files :Code:sudo rm -rf /usr/src/alsa sudo mkdir -p /usr/src/alsa cd /usr/src/alsa sudo cp ~/alsa* .
We compile and install alsa-driver :Code:sudo tar xjf alsa-driver* sudo tar xjf alsa-lib* sudo tar xjf alsa-utils*
We compile and install alsa-lib :Code:cd alsa-driver* sudo ./configure sudo make sudo make install
We compile and install alsa-utils :Code:cd ../alsa-lib* sudo ./configure sudo make sudo make install
If like me, you got this error during the last "sudo ./configure" :Code:cd ../alsa-utils* sudo ./configure sudo make sudo make install
checking form.h presence... yes
checking for form.h... yes
checking for new_panel in -lpanelw... no
configure: error: panelw library not found
You will need to add those symbolics links (only if you got the error) and restart the installation from the last "sudo ./configure" :
Then, we remove the 3 tar files in our personal folder that are not anymore necessary :Code:sudo ln -s libpanelw.so.5 /usr/lib/libpanelw.so sudo ln -s libformw.so.5 /usr/lib/libformw.so sudo ln -s libmenuw.so.5 /usr/lib/libmenuw.so sudo ln -s libncursesw.so.5 /lib/libncursesw.so
Then, just restart your computer and your alsa version should be 1.0.21!Code:rm -f ~/alsa-driver* rm -f ~/alsa-lib* rm -f ~/alsa-utils*
You can verify that you have now indeed have this version of alsa :
2. Add the options to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.confCode:cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21. Compiled on Aug 31 2009 for kernel 2.6.28-15-generic (SMP).
Open a terminal and do....
Go to the bottom of the file and add the following line.Code:$ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
and then restart.Code:options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-3 enable_msi=1
3. Adjust the mixer appropriately.
Open a terminal
Make sure PCM, Master, and Speaker are up all the way.Code:$ alsamixer
hit f4 to go to [Capture]
turn everything up to 100% and make sure nothing is muted. The only keys you should have to press are up arrow and 'm' key (if muted.)
On Input Source, set it to Digital Mic by pressing the 'Up' key.
**Capture 100% and Input Source set to Digital Mic are the only necessities.
Hit 'esc' to save.
Your mic should be working now.
4. I had a problem with alsamixer not saving after a reboot. I made a bash script and threw it in /etc/init.d/ to set everything right.
**I should note that I tried sudo alsactl store many times. It would not keep my saved configuration.
Open a text editor and enter:
Save it as volumeAdjust.sh and do the following for it to run on boot.Code:#!/bin/bash amixer set PCM 100% amixer set Master 100% amixer set Speaker 100% amixer set Capture 100% amixer cset iface=MIXER,name='Input Source' 2
Restart and you should be good to go.Code:$ sudo mv volumeAdjust.sh /etc/init.d/ $ sudo update-rc.d volumeAdjust.sh defaults $ sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/volumeAdjust.sh

For decades, victims of sexual abuse have had to pay dearly for the community's denial. Those victims are now grown. They speak out in different ways, and it is the community that now, too has to pay a price for its denial.
The community members don't get to choose the price. They don't get to decide what victims should to do with the trauma they've created. After years of brutalized silence, victims will speak as loudly as they need to.
This is a community that wants to leave sin, so long as it can do so without expressing regret. It is willing to change the future, so long as we allow it to forget the past, so long as we don't ask it to account for its actions. It wants change, it really does, but the change is conditional: change on its own terms, change it can take credit for without ever looking back, change that is another form of denial.
One cannot ask forgiveness from the dead. It is too late to reach out to those who jumped off balconies, who hung themselves off bathroom rods. It is too late to turn to those who swallowed bottles of painkillers, who overdosed on drugs. Yet there are hundreds of survivors who still live, men and women who've stood up and walked on — once terrified children, now haunted adults, still gripped by a past that has ripped into their souls.
They are no longer seeking the truth; now they seek only honesty. They are no longer seeking holy men; now they seek only good men. What they want from those who have legislated spirituality, from those who've led the community down its darkest path, is the first step of repentance; a confession, an acknowledgement, a reckoning that in the hollowed halls and back rooms of homes and institutions built for God, a terrible thing has happened.
Perhaps there will be a day when a victim in Williamsburg or Lakewood can ask for justice without being forced out. Perhaps there will be a time when advocates and survivors will not be threatened, harassed and terrorized for demanding that the most basic of morals be upheld. Perhaps there will be a day when the community and its leaders will acknowledge the hell they've created for so many of their own. Maybe they will ask for forgiveness. And then we will know that change has truly come.
Until then, let us teach our children the words stolen from our generation, words that describe hell. Because for those of us who have survived, who have lived in the underworld and came out alive, we hold a sacred knowledge: Words are important. Words are powerful. A mind cannot be tainted by a word, only by its refusal to acknowledge it.

Sacromonte is traditionally Granada's Gitano quarter, and these days is the epicenter of the city's flamenco-based tourist trade. Spilling down the sides of its hill (the 'sacred mountain' of the name - the district is actually named after the Sacromonte Abbey), the area has been extensively commercialized, but still has plenty of magic. At dusk, with the lights twinkling and the Alhambra views, it's hard to resist.
It was in the 19th century that Sacromonte became the province of the Gitano. The local rock has enough clay to be soft, but enough rock to be stable when formed. Hence, many of the poorer people shaped caves into the sides of Sacromonte and lived in those. The community - and flamenco - thrived. During the 1960s floods rendered many of the caves uninhabitable, and many of the locals evacuated.

By: Heidi Borchers
All out of decoupage craft ideas? Find crafty inspiration with this Pamper Me Jar from Heidi Borchers. Life can be crazy, so use this jar to remind yourself to unwind and de-stress. Use paint, foam letters, and other materials to customize this piece.
- Jar with lid
- Collage glue ( I used Aleene's Collage Pauge)
- Brush- 1/2" flat
- Wax paper
- Paperback Book Pages (I used a romance novel)
- Ruler
- Acrylic Paints- Black, Purple, Med Purple, Medium Blue, Light blue, Medium Green, Light Green, Dark Pink, Light pink, Yellow Orange
- Wood balls-1" for legs- 4
- Glue- To attach wood legs and for the look of embossing(I used the Aleene's Original Tacky Glue )
- Craft foam letters- 3/4" tall with adhesive back
- Tape- for glue bottle nozzle
- Tear or rip the pages of book. Place several pages on table top, place ruler where you want to tear page. Place one hand on ruler to hold in place, and rip the pages with the other hand.
- Place jar and supplies on wax paper on workspace.
- Working a small area at a time, brush the Collage Pauge glue onto the surface of the glass jar.
- Brush Collage Pauge glue on the back of the paper. Place glue side down onto the jar in the wet glue. Brush collage glue over top of the paper.
- Continue until entire jar is covered.
- Glue the wood balls for legs to the bottom of the jar. Let glue dry.
- Remove the adhesive from the letters and place onto the prepared jar. To create a fine line of the glue for the look of embossing, place a tape nozzle over the glue nozzle. Lightly trace with pencil flower and leaf designs around bottle. Squeeze glue out onto the traced lines. Let glue dry.
- Paint entire jar, over the letters and the dried glue designs with the black acrylic paint. Let paint dry.
- When adding the paint colors to the background of the jar, use a dry brush technique. When you put brush into paint, wipe off excess before placing paint on the background. Lightly brush purple paint onto the background.
- Using the same dry brush technique, apply the medium blue paint to the background.
- Continue to apply different colors to the background using the dry brush technique.
- Using the same dry brushing technique, apply the colors to the embossed glue designs (flowers and leaves).
- Lightly brush paint onto the letters and onto the legs.
- Use a liner brush for the detail around the flowers and leaves.
- To put 'pampered' ideas into the jar, print onto paper cut out and place into jar. "Pamper Me" ideas to get you started: Manicure, Pedicure, Massage, Creative Day, Read A Book…

Merry Millers eliminate Rams
After some early pressure from the home side which saw Paul Warne shoot just wide, the Championship side went ahead at the Don Valley Stadium after 11 minutes from their first attack. Paul Connolly's pass set Lee Croft free on the right and with everyone expecting a shot he pulled the ball back across the edge of the area for Gary Teale to drill home. But Rotherham refused to lie down and they kept Derby pinned in their own half. Pablo Mills went close after 22 minutes and their pressure finally paid off a minute before the break. Jamie Green's free kick into the penalty area was headed down rather than cleared and Paul Warne pounced for his second goal of the season from 10 yards out. Nicky Law almost set up Warne for number two just after the break, but with 65 minutes gone the League Two side went in front. Law crossed from the left and Warne laid the ball off for Kevin Ellison to fire home. County almost rescued it, but Dean Moxey's injury time shot was just inches the wrong side of the post.

@fify-- Don't worry, you might be able to get the stains out, even though it's usually tougher as more time passes. I'm a tailor and have been working with silk for many years now. When silk has been stained, the best thing to do is to wash it with cold water and take it to the dry cleaners immediately. You can also buy some dry clean solution or stain remover that is safe for silk and apply a little bit (follow the directions on the bottle) on the stain. Getting stains out of silk is hard. I tried and failed several times, silk tends to absorb stains very quickly and finding stain remover that removes the stain without damaging the silk is difficult. That's why you're better off taking it to the dry cleaners.
To prevent fading, you can definitely add some vinegar to the rinse water. Another tip is that unless there is a stain, for the first three washes, only wash silk clothing with cold water. Don't use any detergents. After three washes, you can use any mild detergent as you have been doing. Also, once in a while, maybe once or twice a year, depending on how often you wear it, I wash silk clothes with a shampoo that contains protein. This makes the colors look brighter.

Effect of insulin on glucagon secretion mediated via glucose metabolism of pancreatic a cells in ducks

A possible action of insulin via glucose metabolism on the pancreatic A cell response to glucose, was studied in ducks. 2-Deoxyglucose, a non metabolizable analogue of glucose was used. In normal ducks, the hyperglycaemia induced by 2-deoxyglucose (IV: 0.5g/kg) resulted in hyper glucagonaemia, while the same degree of hyper glycaemia, induced by glucose infusion (IV injection 25 mg/kg, and infusion 5 mg/kg/min) immediately suppressed glucagon secretion. In diabetic ducks, two days after subtotal pancreatectomy, glucose responsiveness of the A cell was abolished, but could be restored by insulin treatment before (IM 0.2 U/kg insulin + 8 μg/kg glucagon every 6 h) and during (IV 3.6 mU/kg + infusion 0.9 mU/kg/min) the glucose test (IV: 0.5 g /kg). The normal response of the A cell to glucose was not observed in diabetic insulintreated ducks after the administration of 2-deoxyglucose (IV: 0.5 g/kg). These data suggest an inhibitory effect of the metabolism of glucose on the release of glucagon. In addition, the action of insulin on the A cell may be mediated by its effect on glucose metabolism within the A cell.

"an individual, other than a minor, who is unable to effectively receive and evaluate information or make or communicate decisions to such an extent that the individual lacks the ability to satisfy essential requirements for physical health, safety, or self-care, even with appropriate and reasonably available technological assistance."
Protected Person/Respondent
A person for whom a conservator has been appointed or other protective order has been made.
Limited and full guardianships
The court "may limit or restrict any of the powers or duties of the guardian or the scope or duration of the guardianship." Ideally, an Order is individualized to meet the unique needs of the incapacitated person.
Remember, adults with diminished mental capapcity are as diverse a group as any other segment of the population and the details concerning their care should be personalized to the greatest extent possible. It is a delicate task to balance an incapacitated individual's constitutionally protected rights with the state's need to protect its dependent citizens.
Filing a Guardianship of Conservatorship in Colorado
Petitioning a court to appoint someone as a guardian and/or conservator involves a number of steps and requirements designed to protect the rights of the allegedly incapacitated person. The process may appear cumbersome, however, the individual liberty and property rights of the allegedly incapacitated person must be carefully considered.
Petitions for guardianship and conservatorship may be filed at the same time. However, you must use a separate petition for each. The law governing guardians and conservators is located in the Colorado Revised Statutes at §§15-14-101 through 15-14-432 and is known as the Colorado Uniform Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Act. The forms required to file a petition for a guardianship and/or a conservatorship can be obtained from office supply stores, by ordering them from Bradford Publishing (303-292-2590) or by downloading them from the State of Colorado website. The forms and the filing fee ( currently $91.00) are filed with the District Court clerk in the county where the allegedly incapacitated or protected person lives.

Big Green Eggs converge on Louisville on Saturday for EGGfest
Posted By Douglas Brown On August 13, 2012 @ 12:00 pm In Beer,Events,Grill,Hamburgers,Lunch,Meats,News,Photos | No Comments
The Eggs are coming, more than 30 of them, belching smoke, baking bread, smoking ribs, grilling rib-eyes, and searing salmon skin to crisp perfection.
Mark the calendars for this Saturday, and head to Mountain High Appliance in Louisville [2], 1130 Pine Street, for EGGfest 2012, the 8th annual of its kind in Colorado [3]. There, at least 30 grillmasters will be working their Big Green Eggs [4] – gigantic ceramic grills that are ecumenical in their approach to heat (I'm a grill! But for you, I'm a smoker! Hey, bread baker, let's loaf it up!).
If you haven't made the Big Green Egg plunge yet, this might become a fateful day for you, your family, the very foundation – the marrow, even – of your views about living the good life.

Missing Code Challenge
Online identity management and single sign-on still doesn't work. Not well enough, anyway. OpenID is a good step forward. So are a bunch of other less familiar approaches. But we still haven't arrived.
For example, I've been a member of Blogger for the duration. That is, since long before Google bought the company. In the old days, making a comment on a Blogger blog was fairly easy. Now it's a lot more complicated. I'm sure that's mostly because comment spam is a gigantic problem, especially for a gigantic company like Google.
But still, from the human visitor's perspective, it's a mess. Here's a screen shot I took after failing for the Nth time to successfully post a comment on a Blogger blog:
For what it's (not) worth, I have a Blogger ID, a Google ID, several OpenIDs, some number of i-names, maybe some information cards (I'm not sure I actually have any yet, but I do think they're good to have), plus cookies from countless sites in my browser's jar, none of which seems to help with this.
I shouldn't complain, because I've been involved in the user-centric identity development community for many years, and have played an active role in helping various efforts (both competing and complementary) to move forward and get along with each other in the process.
But still, we ain't there. And I don't believe we'll get there until each of is known and/or trusted automatically by those with which (or whom) we have relationships. You know, like in the Real World.
For that to happen, we need to hack a way for the individual to drive the interaction. It isn't enough for identity to be "user-centric". In fact, it isn't enough to focus just on identity. After all, I don't need to identify myself when I walk into a grocery store and pay cash to buy stuff. In fact, the stores' "loyalty cards" are terrible systems that not only fail as identity cards, but require dual pricing for every item they "discount", while also slowing down the checkout line. It's as if some kind of digital identity disease has infected ordinary brick & mortar stores as well.
Real engagement needs to be user-driven. That means the individual should be fully empowered to engage with any person or service in the digital world on his or her own terms, in easy, consistent and well-understood ways that may or may not require identifying one's self.
We each need to be independent variables, not dependent ones. What makes me trustworthy to a service like Blogger shouldn't be code that lives entirely on Blogger's side, while all I've got is one among a zillion ID/password combinations, most of which I don't remember. I need to be trusted when I show up. Automatically.
Maybe the means for making this happen will live out in the cloud somewhere. Or in many places. (I can see a lot of potential business here, actually.) But none of it will work unless it starts with the individual. Each of us operating in the digital world needs tools for engagement that belong to us, are operated by us, and give us autonomy, capability and control.
If we get that, we can say goodbye to ugly stuff like the interface above — plus the massive market friction that comes from every vendor having its own silo'd ways of dealing with customers, including CRM (customer relationship management) systems that are controlling and inhuman beyond endurance.
Can we do that? Can we build tools that make individuals both independent of vendor control yet better able to engage with vendors? Can we fix the silo'd authentication problems that have plagued online markets from the beginning? I think we can. That's one reason why I started ProjectVRM at Harvard's Berkman Center.
But I don't know the answer yet, because we don't have the code. Some of us are working on it. You might see evidence by peeking through windows here, here, here, here, here and here — as well as in various corners of the identity community and via links in the blogroll here.
But it's still early. The challenge is still out there.
Is this an itch any of you programming folks feel like scratching — for your own good as well as the rest of the world's? If so, say so below. Or follow what we're doing at the VRM Workshop on Monday and Tuesday.
Doc Searls is Senior Editor of Linux Journal
There is no (reasonably
There is no (reasonably permanent) software solution to raising lousy human beings - i.e. the kind that make necessary the likes of passwords, spy/mal-ware detectors, encryption, spam-guards, etc., etc., etc. (not to mention locks, walls, barbed-wired, prisons, weapons, police, armies....)
Human interaction
Even in human interaction an automatic recgoniation doesn't occur. At the very least I must look at a person to identify who that person is. You always have to have a sort of sign-in or verification process to know who someone is or isn't. I just don't see that going away.
Why do I need anything more than a complex passphrase? Or perhaps I could have an application that I sign into on my computer that provides recognition services to websites that need to know about me?
Say I sign into this hypothetical program and I go to buy something from an e-commerce site that I don't have an account with. When I go to this site, it requests my name and basic demographic information from the program that resides on my computer and I can choose to allow or deny this. Then I spend some time choosing some things that I'd like to buy, and proceed to the checkout. When I click some button that finalizes my order (yes, I'm really sure I want that frobbitz) the site requests my billing and shipping information, again I can allow or deny this request.
Alternatively, some sites just want to make sure you're you so they know how to store the information you give them. For example, del.icio.us might just want a cookie loaded into your browser session. Del.icio.us could make a request to this program that it present certain information when visiting the site, minimizing the amount of pain they'd have to undergo to support this sort of program.
This really wouldn't be prohibitively difficult to build.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Construct a graphic reminder of the Five Pillars of Islam.
During a unit of study focused on Saudi Arabia, invite students to identify the Five Pillars of Islam. The Five Pillars of Islam provide a framework for Muslims traditions. Student groups investigate each of these pillars. Organize a variety of text and electronic resources for students to view during their research.
Extend student research with the inclusion of Islamic architecture. Encourage students to look at some pictures of columns found in Islamic architecture. Students study the designs and color schemes in preparation for making a 3-D reminder of the Five Pillars.
Construct the pillars. With Crayola® Scissors, students cut five short cardboard rolls and one roll long enough to span their tops. Illustrate the columns and top with Islamic geometric designs using Crayola Twistables. Write the name of each pillar on a column and label the top.
Students cover their work areas with recycled newspaper. Paint a cardboard base with Crayola Multicultural Washable Paint. Paint the columns. The crayon will show through (resist) the paint. Air-dry the paint.
With Crayola Model Magic compound, shape a top for each of the columns. Air-dry the tops overnight. Attach the pieces with Crayola School Glue. Air-dry your structure.
Display student artwork in a prominent place in the classroom. To accompany the Pillars artwork, students compose a summary paragraph reflecting their learning.

Part of the series: My Personal Learning Network
This post is inspired by several things: The "It's worth taking a look at this blog" initiative that had folks recommending blogs they liked, Darren Elliot's call for us to find and recommend hidden gems from blog archives, and my own (long neglected) posts about "What I've learned from my PLN." (PLN stands for Personal Learning Network. If you're unfamiliar with the term, read "What is a PLN, anyway?")
Here's my little twist on the idea–a quiz!
The 5-5-5 Quiz
Why five? Partly it's because five is a lucky number here in Japan, and partly because in Japanese the number sounds like "go" and I like the image of moving forward, but mostly because it's easy for me to remember.
Five questions. Five days. Five winners.
Each quiz will have five questions based on five posts from five people in my personal learning network. Some posts will be from their guest post in my archives, others from outside blogs, but all are educators I have learned from.
If you take the quiz within five days of its publication, and if you answer all five questions correctly, then you'll be eligible for a prize drawing (there's no deadline for taking the quiz, just for being eligible for a prize). For this first quiz, that means that the deadline is 11 pm on Friday, June 18th, in Japan. That's 2 pm GMT time. For other times, check here. Note: Be sure to read the posts before taking the quiz–you'll get a better score!
Each quiz will have five winners, drawn at random from the pool of all takers with 100% correct answers. The prizes aren't particularly valuable, but including them gives me a chance to indulge my love of 100 yen stores, and to share fun bits of Japanese culture. This week's prize, for example, is chocolate. Japanese candy makers seem quite fond of limited release flavors. The Kit Kats are dark chocolate almond flavor, and the Pucca have a hard chocolate cookie shell filled with vanilla white chocolate. Not nearly significant enough reward to cause someone to read five blog posts if not already inclined, but a nice treat for a few who did
(If you happen to be a winner in Japan, I'll happily substitute an equally "valuable" fun bit of American culture!)
This is just something for fun, and I have no idea how well it will work nor how long I'll continue with it. But I have enough archived posts and prizes for at least four quizzes, to start!
Even if you don't have any interest in the drawing, and don't want to take the quiz (which asks for your email address so I can contact you if you do win), I hope you'll take the time to visit these excellent blog posts.
The quiz this week is based on these five posts:
The Power of Play for Education and Language Development by Marisa Constantinides
It's the Small Things that Count by David Deubelbeiss
I is for Imagination by Carol Read
Teaching Kindergarteners in Turkey: Enjoying Every Minute of It by Özge Karaoğlu
Learning Language or Learning Through Language by Tatiana Sobral
The embedded quiz isn't working well at the moment, so you'll need to follow the link to the online quiz:

100 Novels All Horror Fans Should Read
February 1, 2011 at 9:59 am Katie 4 comments
Bookstove has published a list of 100 Novels All Horror Fans Should Read. It's a pretty respectable list, including both classics and contemporary works from the genre. (Even though it has Twilight on the list. Twilight? Seriously? Twilight as horror? Whatever.) Keep in mind that nearly all of these books were published for adults so if you're finding YA horror too weak for your tastes and you're looking for something darker and more intense, you'll definitely find what you're looking for here.
4 Comments Add your own
I've seen a lot of movies based on these, but I've read fewer of them.
A great horror movie based on a less than great book is "The Other". (Author Thomas Tryon, but the book is probably not worth reading.)
Plus come on, American Gods is not horror.
The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper? I read it when I was young. I don't think it horrific at all.
Love Curse of the Rumbaughs by Jack Gantos otoh…. creepy.
Twilight was horroriffic.
Cool list! Thanks!

Exercise-Induced Asthma
Topic Overview
An asthma attack is a short period when breathing becomes difficult, sometimes along with chest tightness, wheezing, and coughing. When this happens during or after exercise, it is known as exercise-induced asthma or exercise-induced bronchospasm. About 70% to 90% of people with persistent asthma and about 10% of the population without asthma have exercise-induced asthma.1, 2 Exercise-induced asthma develops most often in athletes, especially those who train or perform in cold air. Swimming appears to cause the fewest problems for children with asthma; it may even help reduce the severity of exercise-induced asthma.3
For most people:
- Shortness of breath may occur early in an exercise period. Some people get worse 5 to 10 minutes after exercise stops.
- Difficulty breathing usually goes away within 20 to 30 minutes after stopping exercise.
Exercise-induced asthma is often not diagnosed, especially in children. Most experts agree that a medical history and a physical exam are not accurate tools for diagnosing exercise-induced asthma. If you notice the symptoms of asthma (such as wheezing or shortness of breath) after your child exercises, it is important that you bring this to the attention of your doctor. Children with asthma should still be encouraged to exercise and should not be excused from exercise unless really necessary.
For people with asthma symptoms during exercise, using asthma-controlling medicine before exercise may help reduce symptoms, especially in cold, dry weather. For these people, some asthma experts recommend the following:4
- Take your medicine daily, if needed, to decrease airway inflammation and decrease the overreaction (hyperresponsiveness) of the airways that carry air to the lungs (bronchial tubes).
- Use a beta2-agonist inhaler about 10 to 30 minutes before exercising. Examples of beta2-agonists used for exercise-induced asthma include albuterol (such as Proventil) and levalbuterol (Xopenex). The effect of the short-acting beta2-agonists lasts several hours. Using a cromolyn inhaler shortly before exercise also helps some people.
- Warm up before exercising.
Other steps you can take to decrease asthma symptoms when you are exercising include the following:
- Avoid exposure to air pollutants and allergens whenever possible. Exercise indoors when air pollution levels are high.
- Wear a mask or scarf wrapped around your nose and mouth if you are exercising in cold weather. This may help warm and moisten the air you breathe in.
- Exercise slowly for the first 10 to 15 minutes.
If your child has exercise-induced asthma, be sure his or her teachers and coaches know when your child's daily medicines should be given and what to do if your child has an asthma attack, especially before and during physical exercise. Your child's asthma action plan provides this information. School officials need to know the early warning signs of an asthma episode, how your child's medicines are used, and how to give the medicines. School personnel also should know how to contact your child's doctor.

"Scott has an in depth knowledge of not just software tricks and technical know how, but of the other side of the world as well, traditional sculpture and careful study of the human form. What is more, he actually enjoys sharing this hard earned knowledge with eager students and the occasional innocent bystander on the street. Tho random soccer mom's and business men may be scared of his rantings about 'zbrush' or the 'zygomatic arch', you, dear viewer, are in for a treat."
