Mystery girl Maria's parents found in Bulgaria by DNA
DNA tests have confirmed a Bulgarian Roma couple as the biological parents of mystery child Maria, found in Greece last week, Bulgarian officials say.
They identified the couple as Sasha Ruseva and Atanas Rusev.
The officials are investigating whether the mother had sold the child - a claim she has denied.
Maria was found at a Roma camp in central Greece. Police noticed the lack of resemblance between the blonde girl and the adults she was staying with.
The couple, Christos Salis and Eleftheria Dimopoulou, have since been charged with child abduction. They have insisted the girl was given to them legitimately.
Maria - who was found near Farsala, central Greece - is currently being cared for by the Athens-based charity The Smile of the Child.
Greek media reaction
"The issue took international dimensions but the way it was covered raises questions regarding how the state addresses the phenomena of racism and xenophobia. It is striking that the suspected culprits were not presented as persons accused of the actual deed - what was highlighted was their ethnic background." Dimitris Zachos, Greek university lecturer, www.tvxs.gr web TV
"Now let's suppose that Maria was not a blonde angel with green eyes and alabaster skin but dark-skinned, slightly short and bit chubby, maybe with a physical imperfection. Would the story sell that much on media? Is a blonde drama equal to a dark-haired one? Is a dark-skinned child less abused? Are tragedies assorted to race?" Elena Akrita, journalist, Ta Nea newspaper
"There are many losing from the development of the story. Not that they care a lot, though. They'll be waiting for the next story, to prove their racist and intolerant theories, wondering "what has happened to this world where there are blonde Roma"? There are blonde Roma, just as there are dark-skinned amongst the advocates of the Nazi "Aryan race" theory. Niko Ago, journalist, www.protagon.gr website
There have been thousands of inquiries following an appeal to identify her. The case has also sparked concern over prejudice and racism towards Roma people.
Mother's storyThe child's parents - Sasha Ruseva and Atanas Rusev - and their eight children, had been filmed earlier by Bulgarian television at their home in the Roma district of the central town of Nikolaevo.
Ms Ruseva, holding a child with red hair, told reporters that she and her husband had been working in the Greek city of Larisa four years ago when she gave birth to a girl.
The girl was seven months old when they had to return to Bulgaria, and she said she could not afford to take the child with her.
She said she was talking to a woman she worked with who told her: "Give me this child, I will take care of it. You can come and take it back any time you want.
"But I had other children to take care of and I couldn't go... I have never got any money for it."
Bulgarian officials said that during questioning, Ms Ruseva said she had recognised Christos Salis and Eleftheria Dimopoulou as the people she had left her child with.
Prosecutors have pressed preliminary charges against Ms Ruseva for "deliberately selling a child while residing out of the country".
In Greece, a lawyer representing the couple in the Roma camp near Farsala said on Friday they planned to seek legal custody of Maria.
"Provided what we said is borne out, that it was not an abduction, then logically they will be released from prison and they will be able to enter a proper [adoption] process," Costas Katsavos was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.
"They truly and ardently want her back," he added.
Maria's biological parents in Bulgaria also say they want to be re-united with her.
However, the head of Bulgaria's social services department, Lidia Hristova, told Reuters: "After an investigation, we will decide what would be best for the child, whether to take her from the family, to offer social service, or so on."
There will now be difficult questions for police both in Greece and Bulgaria, the BBC's Mark Lowen in Athens reports.
He adds that clearly there will still be a legal case against the Greek couple, and possibly against Maria's parents as well.
But Greek police could be left red-faced for making the initial allegations of abduction, our correspondent adds.
Greek news site zougla.gr has published what it says is Ms Ruseva's identity card and a birth certificate for Maria from a hospital in Lamia, not far from Farsala and Larisa.
The birth certificate says the girl was born in January 2009.
Christos Salis and Eleftheria Dimopoulou have told police Maria was four years old, but the Smile of the Child charity say medical examinations suggest she is more like five or six.

Did Google Pre-Emptively Block a 4G iPhone on Verizon?
- |
- 8:00 pm |
- Permalink
The Commission's open access rule is clear that C Block licensees "shall not deny, limit, or restrict the ability of their customers to use the devices and applications of their choice…." The rule thus plainly proscribes a C Block licensee from selling handsets to customers that hinder a customer's ability to use applications of their choice, and applies to all customers of a C Block licensee.
Verizon's position would completely reverse the meaning of the rule such that the open access condition would apply to none of Verizon's customers, and thereby render the condition a nullity.
The FCC decided to impose rules on the 700 Mhz block after noting that carriers had blocked applications and crippled devices — such as turning off their WiFi chips or disabling Bluetooth, something Verizon used to be notorious for.
"Although wireless broadband services have great promise, we have become increasingly concerned that certain practices in the wireless industry may constrain consumer access to wireless broadband networks and limit the services and functionalities provided to consumers by these networks," the FCC said in a 350-page ruling on the auction (.pdf).
"Specifically, a C Block licensee may not block, degrade, or interfere with the ability of end users to download and utilize applications of their choosing on the licensee's C Block network, subject to reasonable network management," the FCC continued.
Currently, Verizon is in the clear, despite having recently landed the iPhone. The company boasts that it's LTE network (a form of 4G) is the "fastest and most advanced," but all of the phones it currently offers for use on that network are Android devices — which allow a user to easily install any app they like, whether its in Google's only slightly curated market or not.
Verizon has also set up a portal to help developers who wish to create devices or apps that will run on its LTE network and has a certification program.
In retrospect, the rules seem almost superfluous, thanks to Android's stunning inroads into the smart phone market and in part, because Google's dream of selling an open handset directly to consumers died not long after birth. But the open-source OS has allowed AT&T's competitors to offer smart phones that rival the iPhone, creating an explosion in Android devices from manufacturers including Motorola, Samsung and HTC.
That development led Google and Verizon growing closer thanks to Verizon's embrace of the Android OS as a way to compete with AT&T's exclusive lock on the iPhone, and the two even came up with a "compromise" net neutrality proposal last summer.
But that new-found friendship might be tested if the 4G spectrum rules Google pushed end up blocking Verizon from launching a 4G iPhone.
Google declined to comment on how it interprets the rules now.
When asked, Verizon spokeswoman Brenda Boyd Raney said "I couldn't speculate on that since an LTE iPhone doesn't exist."
Verizon may have some time to mull its options or even go back to court to get the rules thrown own, as Apple tends to wait to adopt the latest innovations in wireless spectrum until the technology matures so it's unlikely that the 2011 version of the iPhone will be 4G. That means it's likely that Verizon won't have to face this tough problem until June of 2012.
But in the meantime, lawyers will be very busy trying to figure out possible loopholes, according to Penn State's Friedan.
"Lawyers get paid lots of money to think cleverly and then talk to engineers to configure the phone to do that," Friedan said.
Markham suggests lots of people in the tech world will be trying to figure this out as well.
"I don't think there's any kind of resolution around whether Verizon could sell a 4G iPhone," Markham said. "We will have to wait to see. We will see a collective scratching of the head."

Announced back in February 2011 along with the T3i, the Canon EOS Rebel T3 is the lesser-featured half of this duo: "only" 12.2 megapixels on the sensor; "only" a 3 frame per second (fps) continuous shooting rate; "only" 720 HD video.
And an MSRP $300 less than the T3i. You can get your hands on a T3 with the 18-55 stabilized kit lens for only $600. Here's the view at both ends of the kit lens:
The T3 has a native 100-6400 ISO sensitivity range, Canon's current generation DIGIC 4 image processor and a 1.6x crop factor thanks to its APS-C CMOS sensor. As is customary with an entry-level DSLR, a variety of scene modes complement the traditional manual shooting exposure options. Somewhat disappointing was the inclusion of a 2.7-inch LCD monitor in a camera slightly larger than the Nikon D3100 with its 3.0-inch screen.
The T3 undercuts the D3100 by $100 on the MSRP front, but anything less than 3.0-inches on a DSLR monitor seems dated.
The T3 continues one of my usual Canon gripes - files are output at 72 dots per inch (dpi) which results in an image size of almost 60 x 40 inches, making them hard to view in e-mails. You have to resize to send reasonably viewable shots, or resize to make good prints. At least one other Japanese camera company outputs their stuff at 300 dpi - perfect for printing at least, but you'll be resizing for e-mail.
Moving past image size, the T3 seems to acquire focus at entry-level DSLR speed, and shutter lag seems DSLR quick as well. AF tracking on some gulls during a dawn patrol shooting session at the beach went pretty well with the 9 point AF system set to "AI Servo." And while the 18-55 lens (shooting at about 29 to 88mm in 35mm film equivalents) won't get you close to distant subjects at the telephoto end, it's slightly wide and covers the 85mm focal range that was the starting point for the 85 to 135mm range that 35mm film photographers tended to favor for portrait work.
The T3 has a macro scene shooting option (which tends to set apertures at/near wide open), but the 18-55 lens will focus as close as 9.8-inches across its focal range, so setting apertures via aperture priority to pick up a tiny bit more depth of field is also in play.
Still image quality at default settings looks good; video seems okay for 720 HD resolution, but I didn't get a chance at any good video subjects for this first look. CMOS sensors bring up concerns about rolling shutter effect during video capture, and that's one of many areas we'll explore in shooting a lot more still and video with the T3 for its complete review. We'll have that review in the near future, but so far the T3 seems like a pretty good performer overall.

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowProving grounds for the students of the International Culinary School at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale and open only a few nights a week, Chef's Palette provides an unusual dining experience. The school is located just beside the 17th Street bridge, and its see-through design lets you get a view of the action in the kitchen. Doesn't everyone look cute in chef's hats? One could argue that diners are taking a risk, because the cooks are in training, but the menu skews upscale, and teachers' expectations are high. Lunch is a prix-fixe three-course arrangement (under $15) with soup/salad and fish, chicken, lamb, or beef. Chef's Palette provides an interesting, classroomesque take on fine dining.

@Grivusangel: Yeah, don't you wish they explained all the terms they use on those shows? Not everyone knows what they're talking about! I guess it's like any profession that has its own lingo -- you tend to forget other people don't know what you mean.
I'll bet weep screen installation is expensive, though. Makes me glad I'm not building a house any time soon!

Public Abstract:
The human body functions because there are specific proteins (enzymes) that perform all the work (chemical reactions) necessary to allow mechanical movement, eating, reproducing and eliminating wastes. Enzymes are produced by specific genes. Each person can have slightly different enzymes produced by slightly different genes. Sometimes these changes provide advantages, sometimes these changes cause dis-advantages. Essentially all diseases can be linked to the interference of one or more enzymes in regard to performing its chemical reaction. Human medicine has been based on drugs, which are chemicals that affect the activity of enzymes. By increasing or decreasing the activity of enzymes, drugs can reduce and (sometimes) eliminate the deleterious effects of diseases. A potential problem with many drugs is that they commonly are associated with unwanted side-effects and their potency can be reduced by acclimation of the body's response to that particular drug. With the advances in understanding the human body, it is now possible to cure diseases by altering the expression of genes to affect the activity of specific enzymes. The advantages of "gene therapy" are specificity to the established target, long-term duration of treatment and reduced chances of side-effects. While gene therapy has been proposed as a method to treat many human diseases having devastating effects, there are limited examples of successful outcomes. We are now at a cross-roads in our knowledge of being able to learn how to develop successful gene therapies for treating human disease. One of the major obstacles is having the appropriate vehicle to deliver the gene therapy to the patient. We have developed a simple method to deliver therapeutic genes to mice using stem cells that will repopulate the liver in the form of liver macrophages (i.e. Kupffer cells). Kupffer cells are immunologic cells that normally have a long lifetime, reside on the surface of liver cells and protect the body from bacteria that enter the body via the intestine. A safe drug, used to visualize arteries when irradiated with x-rays, is eaten by Kupffer cells causing them to be rapidly eliminated and replaced by new Kupffer cells which are derived from stem cells. By switching the stem cells used for replacing Kupffer cells with stem cells carrying a specific therapeutic gene, we have shown we can reduce heart disease in mice in manner that is safe, without any toxic side effects and long-term (up to a year). The goal of this research is to further develop the Kupffer cell gene transfer technique for treating human disease. By developing an efficient means to use embryonic stem cells as the vehicle, we will be able to provide a safe, versatile, reversible and effective means to provide gene therapies for many different type of human diseases including: diabetes, infectious disease, heart disease, liver failure and metabolic deficiency diseases.
Statement of Benefit to California:
During the past 20 years, scientists (many residing in California) have discovered how to identify genes, how to identify the functional role of the proteins made from these genes and how to identify if individuals have mutations in genes that affect function. In addition to providing patients with an understanding why they may have a particular disease, these advances have provided new clues that may be useful in designing a new way to treat diseases called gene therapy. Gene therapy has the potential to cure many diseases for which drugs have not been developed or have been shown to have bad side-effects. Because of its many potential benefits, scientists have spent ~20 years designing methods to administer gene therapies that are safe and effective. So far, successful amelioration of human disease via gene therapy has been a rare occurrence. We have developed a new method to administer gene therapy to mice. This method is safe and effective (treating mice with this gene therapy reduced heart disease in mice by 50%). We wish now to further develop this method so it can be used to treat humans. The goal of this research to develop this method and show that it is safe and effective in mice. Achieving this goal will justify it being further developed for use in humans in treating many diseases including: diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, several metabolic deficiency diseases, several forms of malignant diseases involving plasma cells, infection diseases and diseases associated with impaired immunity. This investment by CIRM in supporting this research has the potential to provide new, safe and effective gene therapies to the citizens of California.

My nieces and I have fun making our own soap together. When I am making soap with them I use the "melt and pour soap" and have some great kid friendly molds they love to use.
I have molds in the form of familiar Disney and princess characters. They also love to add fragrances like strawberry and cherry to their soap.
This is an easy, fun project that is fun to work on with them. They keep some of the soap for themselves and like to package the rest and give to their friends.
When it comes to molds for your own soap, I would highly recommend using silicone molds. These are becoming more popular and are so much easier to use than plastic molds.

Decorative Paper Lanterns. The lanterns may look intricate, but it takes only half an hour to make one.
They appear festive and ethereal by day and, if you place low-wattage lightbulbs inside, softly radiant by night. The lanterns are monochromatic, but you can play with the design by creating an ombre pattern (gradations of the same color) or stripes. You can even use green disks at the tops of the lanterns so that they resemble berries with leafy stems.

Quilling, the coiling and shaping of narrow paper strips to create a design, has been around for years — hundreds, in fact.
During the Renaissance, nuns and monks would roll gold-gilded paper remnants trimmed during the bookmaking process, and use them to decorate religious objects as an alternative to costly gold filigree. Quilling later became a pastime of 18th and 19th century young ladies in England, who would decorate tea caddies and pieces of furniture with paper filigree. The practice crossed the Atlantic with colonists, who added quilling to candle sconces and trays as home decorations. Crafting MacGyver: Circular Logic. Handmade Moccasins. Video.

They should all work. Just cut along the solid lines, fold along the dotted lines, put some glue on the shaded flaps, stick them together and there you go... Papier-mache easter eggs. For Easter I made papier-mache polka dotted eggs.
I created them using small water balloons and tissue paper then I filled them with candy and toys and sealed them shut. The egg can hold a surprising amount of candy and the tissue paper seems delicate making for a delightfully heavy and yet fragile object, much like real egg.

AMITY, Ore --- There was a very rare birth in Amity, Oregon Tuesday morning that looks like it may have a happy ending. A tiny kitten was born with two faces, but one body and an apparently healthy set of organs.
The kitten's owner Stephanie Durkee took the rare little baby to the vet, who checked her out and found everything in working order. There's also nothing wrong with the newborn's lungs as she's a very vocal little kitty, according to Durkee.
The unusual female kitten has been named "Deucy." She was born at 6:11 a.m. on 6/11 under the "Gemini" astrological sign. Stephanie can't help but wonder at the "double" coincidences surrounding "Deucy's" birth.
The rare baby has been rejected by her mother, so Stephanie is feeding her warmed kitten formula every two hours with a syringe. She says she's eating well and is stronger than the other two kittens that survived their birth. "Deucy" is being kept in a dresser drawer with a heating pad and towels.
Stephanie plans to keep her rare kitten, and hopes she has a long life. Cats with two faces are known as "Janus" cats. Stephanie's vet told her he's aware of only four of five Janus kittens to live to adulthood with the oldest known living to 12 years old..

Limited access with the trial version
Scan for potential porn images on your computer with this demo tool that had a few false hits, but worked overall despite a number of disabled features.
If you're worried that potentially pornographic images are lurking in your system's drives, this program promised to scan and find them. Although we encountered several false hits, the bigger problem was how many features are disabled in the demo version.
This install for this app is a 175MB file. It is made to be portable for thumbdrive use, and carries all fonts and such files for that purpose. It also carries files to run the app on Linux and Mac. It would have been nice for the publisher to separate the operating system packages.
On each run the app quickly installs updates. Unfortunately, testers complained that the app would go into a loop of downloading updates and restarting the app. Users must install an updater patch from the publisher's support site to correct the problem.
Operating SurfRecon is a mere matter of starting the scan and waiting. The app displays all images found in a series of tabs including those reviewed as Safe, Sexual, Child Porn, Gaming, and Personal. All images in categories other than Safe are pixelated. Controls to display those images are locked in the demo.
The app notes that images listed as sexual include those submitted by law enforcement, discovered by the publisher's Web crawler, or have been linked to porn sites. The publisher notes that pornographic images are found by comparing a file's hash to a list of hashes of images deemed porn. Testers found many false alarms as the app listed generic images as sexual. The evaluation mode pixelates all found sexual images, forcing users to look for the original files to check the content.
The demo locks down all features save the scan making it difficult to accurately test this app. Nevertheless, those concerned that porn may exist on their drives can use this program's easy-to-follow scan function to find images.

Stephane Mbia believes Queens Park Rangers can still survive the drop despite enduring a disastrous season so far.
QPR are currently rooted to the bottom of the Premier League but the summer arrival from France remains optimistic.
"Sure, the short term looks difficult because we haven't won enough games but this is a challenge," Mbia told the Guardian.
"We have senior players in the squad who can inspire the others and, even if this is all new to me, I have experience.
"I have come from a club expecting to challenge for the title to one struggling at the bottom but we can survive. Yes, yes, yes, we can survive.
"We're learning every week. We have a manager who will get the best out of us so, if we stay united and keep working, it'll come."

Wounded Warrior Ascents
Next Operation - Mount Aconcagua
About Wounded Warrior Ascents...
For Injured Veterans Wanting to Climb Mountains Wordwide.
Who is Wounded Warrior Ascents (WWA)?
In 2009, a team of Warriors wounded in the Global War on Terrorism overcame devastating combat injuries and successfully summitted 20,320 ft Denali, the highest mountain in North America, symbolizing the strength of our Nation and those who defend it. The climb was called "Operation Denali" and it taught the importance of helping our fellow wounded achieve their 'high altitude' dreams. This operation was founded by Marc Hoffmeister. See more about Marc on National Geographic.
From our experience building, training, and leading this team, we've committed ourselves to continuing that path and created WWA to achieve our mission. Learn more about WWA at www.WoundedWarriorAscents.org and on Facebook.
WWA Mission:
Wounded Warrior Ascents enables warriors wounded in defense of our Nation to overcome their combat injuries, both physical and invisible, in order to redefine their 'new normal' through pursuit of adaptive mountaineering and endurance sports competition.
WWA Objectives:
1. To raise awareness of the sacrifices our severely injured Service Members and their Families in order to enable their long term recovery and successful pursuit of their dreams.
2. To work together with our fellow wounded to overcome our physical limitations and achieve goals that seem insurmountable because of the impact of our injuries on our lives.
3. To provide mentoring, resources, and network to recovering Heroes to help them in pursuit of their athletic goals in mountaineering and endurance competition.
4. To demonstrate by performance and example that no obstacle is so great that the human spirit cannot overcome it.
Our Next Operation - Mount Aconcagua:
Warriors wounded in the Global War on Terror support their spouses they summit the highest point in the Americas, Mount Aconcagua, 22,841ft in recognition of the personal sacrifices their 'Warrior Wives' have made in support of their Warrior in the battle to overcome devastating combat injuries.
Aconcagua (Spanish pronunciation: [akoŋˈkaɣwa]) is the highest mountain in the Americas at 6,959 m (22,841 ft).[1] It is located in the Andes mountain range, in the province of Mendoza, Argentina, and lies 112 kilometres (70 mi) west by north of its capital, the city of Mendoza. The summit is also located about 5 kilometres from San Juan Province and 15 kilometres from the international border with Chile. Aconcagua is the highest peak in both the Western and Southern Hemispheres. It is one of the Seven Summits.
Aconcagua is bounded by the Valle de las Vacas to the north and east and the Valle de los Horcones Inferior to the West and South. The mountain and its surroundings are part of the Aconcagua Provincial Park. The mountain has a number of glaciers. The largest glacier is the Ventisquero Horcones Inferior at about 10 km long, which descends from the south face to about 3600 m altitude near the Confluencia camp.[3] Two other large glacier systems are the Ventisquero de las Vacas Sur and Glaciar Este/Ventisquero Relinchos system at about 5 km long. However, the most well-known is the north-eastern or Polish Glacier, a common route of ascent.
WWA Operation Mount Aconcagua Objectives:
1. To raise awareness of the sacrifices the families who enable the long term recovery and sustainment of our severely injured.
2. To raise awareness of the essential contributions of non medical attendants to the recovery of our combat wounded.
3. To recognize and give back to those unsung heroes, our spouses, who gave so much to bring us back to health, yet hovered behind the scenes while their warrior received medals and praise for his actions
4. To continue to work together as a couple to overcome our physical limitations and achieve a common goal.
5. To demonstrate by performance and example that no obstacle is so great that the human spirit cannot overcome it.
"Gayle is my inspiration. Without her commitment to our relationship and her support through my recovery, I would never have been able to return to active duty service. This climb is about giving back to her and other women like her, to put them in the spotlight for incredible sacrifices they have made to support their warrior and get us back in the fight."

Decathlete Klech named Academic All-American
University of Oregon Senior David Klech, the Pac-10 runner-up in the decathlon and a two-time All-American in 2011, was named to the 2011 Capital One Academic All-America Men's Track & Field/Cross Country first team on Tuesday.Klech, who is majoring in psychology, has a 3.96 grade point average.
A native of San Ramon, Calif., Klech helped Oregon win its fifth straight Pac-10 title with his second-place showing in the decathlon, plus his third place finish in the long jump and fifth place finish in the 110-meter hurdles.
He then went on to finish 16th in the decathlon at the NCAA Outdoor Championships to earn second team All-America honors.
Indoors, Klech had the second highest heptathlon point total in Oregon history, 5,831, to finish sixth at the national meet.
With one more team to be announced (women's track) in 2010-11, Oregon has earned four of the coveted Academic All-America awards, which are selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). In addition to Klech, the Ducks honored this academic year include Jack Dukeminier (men's golf first team), Amanda Johnson (women's basketball first team) and Katherine Fischer (volleyball third team).
That's one behind the most Academic All-Americans Oregon has ever had in one year. The University set the school stadard with five last year - Dukeminier, Johnson, Nicole Blood (women's track), Cyrus Hostetler (men's track) and Alex Wolff (men's track).

The CSULB RIMI Project is a 5-year, multi-million dollar project sponsored by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities. The RIMI Project was designed to address gaps and challenges to conducting research at CSULB on minority health and health disparities topics, and to train and support faculty and students interested in these topics. The focus of its efforts is community and public health approaches to reducing health disparities. The RIMI Project consists of four Cores:
- Administrative and Capacity Building
- Research Faculty Development
- Academic Enrichment for Students
- Shared Resources.
The Research Faculty Development Core is the center of efforts to increase faculty capacity to conduct minority health and health disparities research, and mentor students from health disparities populations to be the next generation of researchers in these areas. The Academic Enrichment for Students Core is designed to support racial and ethnic minority students and others with an interest in health disparities research to become skilled behavioral and social science researchers whose work will contribute to the body of minority health and health disparities research. One of the goals of the RIMI Project was the establishment of the Center for Health Equity Research, which has now come to fruition.
RIMI Outcomes:
CSULB RIMI has supported 21 faculty members from 14 departments to conduct independent research.
Faculty and RIMI leadership staff completed 13 intramural and extramural proposals (10 were funded, including an NIH R 21).
Seven manuscripts were published, 39 scientific presentations were completed, and 4 manuscripts are in press.
What do RIMI scholars say about the RIMI project?
"I developed an enhanced interest in health-related research and project evaluation, and I am now interested in a PhD."
"The RIMI experience helped me to apply the theory I was learning in class to real-life programs."
"I believe that being a part of this program made me a successful candidate for a PhD program. I wish more students had the opportunities that I had as a RIMI scholar. I am so grateful to everyone who contributed to my growth this year. Because of this program, I want to come back to teach at CSULB under the loan forgiveness program. Thank you all."
"The RIMI momentum kept me going. I would have been lost without it."
"I truly learned the importance of diversity. This experience helped me embrace diversity."
"I made an important connection with Dr. Felipe Castro (RIMI Research Advisory Committee member and Professor of Psychology at Arizona State University) and decided to apply to the doctorate program in psychology at his institution…I realized I wanted to apply my interest in the field of psychology to a community health focus."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
"Ring Out, Wild Bells" is a poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Published in 1850, the year he was appointed Poet Laureate, it forms part of In Memoriam, Tennyson's elegy to Arthur Henry Hallam, his sister's fiancé who died at the age of twenty-two.
According to a story widely held in Waltham Abbey, and repeated on many websites (see two examples below), the 'wild bells' in question were the bells of the Abbey Church. According to the local story, Tennyson was staying at High Beach in the vicinity and heard the bells being rung. In some versions of the story it was a particularly stormy night and the bells were being swung by the wind rather than deliberately.
The Gresham's School chapel bell is inscribed with the last line of the poem, plus an attribution to the donor: "Ring in the Christ that is to be, Donum Dedit J. R. E."[1]
Manchester Town Hall's hour bell, called 'Great Abel' after the Town Clerk, Abel Heywood, who oversaw the construction of the building - completed 1877, has the lines, 'Ring out the false, ring in the true' cast upon its surface.[2]
A rather free translation of this poem is recited annually at the national New Year's Eve celebration in Sweden every year by actor and singer Jan Malmsjö, who has recited the poem since 31 December 2001. The Swedish tradition of reading 'Ring Out, Wild Bells' began in 1897 when the young Swedish actor Anders de Wahl was asked to perform the poem at the annual New Year's Eve Celebration at Skansen in Stockholm. Anders de Wahl performed 'Ring Out, Wild Bells' (which, in Swedish, is called 'Nyårsklockan') until his death in 1956. The television producers at Sweden's biggest channel SVT decided to broadcast the annual New Years Celebration from Skansen in Stockholm on television, and this was first broadcast on 31 December 1977 when actor Georg Rydeberg read the poem. This turned out to be a major success and Rydeberg recited the poem until his death in 1983. It should be clearly noted that the Swedish translation varies from the English original.
Charles Gounod's setting for voice and piano, published in 1880, uses verses one, two, three, five, seven, and eight. [3]
Percy Fletcher's 1914 SATB setting uses all but the fifth stanza of the poem, using the second stanza as a recurring refrain[4]
The second, seventh and eighth stanza were set to music by Karl Jenkins in the finale ("Better is Peace") of The Armed Man.[5]
The first, second and last stanza were set to music by Crawford Gates, and it is included in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 1985 hymnal (hymn number 215).[6]
The first, second, third, fifth and seventh stanzas are set to music by Jonathon Dove for the final movement of his "Passing of the Year" song cycle written for Double Choir (SSAATTBB).
James Q Mullholland – set the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th stanzas to music in honour of Gary Schwartzhoff in a commissioned piece by members and friends at First Congregational Church, Eau Claire, WI. 2011. First sung by the UW Eau Claire Concert Choir on Sunday, 10 April 2011. Sung again by the Chancel Choir of First Congregational Church on Sunday, 22 May 2011.
Excerpts of the poem were also utilised by George Harrison in his song Ding Dong, Ding Dong ("Ring out the old – Ring in the new. Ring out the false – Ring in the true"). Harrison misattributed these passages to Sir Frank Crisp once they were all written and engraved on walls and other parts of Friar Park, the mansion bought by Harrison which once belonged to Sir Frank.

What a total joke, embarrassment, downright stupid, silly, unfair, loser move from Lakers management. Sure, our team might suck, but at least we aren't a sideshow circus. Lakers fire coach Mike Brown - Yahoo! Sports
Actually, Jerry Buss flew Joe out to LA to do the deed for him. He wanted it done right an nobody does it better than #4. On a related note, Buss will NOT be consulting with Joe on a replacement for Brown.
Just 1-4...they jumped the gun..Have to wonder if he would been canned on Monday if they had lost to the Pistons on Sunday? Does Lawrence Frank get fired if the Pistons go 0-10? (Hopefully) Nash is hurt, Howard is still in recovery and they have no bench........ did they expect this team to come out of the gate 4-1 or 5-0?
I never agree with these decision. But I hate the Lakers, so they can suck it up. Everyone saying Phil Jackson, but that is just silly talk. Triangle won't work for LAL with their current roster I don't think.
Kind of a slimy move by Jackson, but I'm sure it will be him. With Nash, Kobe, and Howard, they have some strong personalities and they're mixing 3 guys who were all previously "the man". Might be easiest to solve the leadership dilemma by bringing in the Big Kahuna. Even Kobe has to respect him.
The Laker fans want Phil, but I am hoping that he just sits it out stays retired. If he does come back, hopefully they still fail to prove the point that you can't buy championships with old players like Kobe, Nash and semi broken players like Howard and uninspired players like Gasol. Remember when they signed Malone and Stockton in 2004, they thought that 4 future HOF players and coach in Phil was enough to sweep through the playoffs and on to a titled. If anything, they should hire Brian Shaw an assistant for Phil who helped keep the players focused during the 2009 and 2010 championship years. Since i cheer for the other team at Staples, I just hope it is a long season of finger pointing and a first round playoff exit for the Lakers come April.
I still don't think they actually want Jackson. Sure it will bring a crowd every night, but think about the system that he brings. Gasol fits perfectly. He is agile enough to run the blocks and even the corner. He can shoot really well. Perfect match. Howard does not fit. Although he is fast enough to run the blocks, and strong enough to set picks at the high post, he can't shoot. So the whole space advantage is given up as soon as he steps outside the key, guards can sag off him and focus on the perimeter spots perpendicular to the key and the corner even coming off screens. MWP is not a good passer. Although he shoots well from 3pt (relatively) he will often get 15-20ft open jumpers (assuming he gets the space) which he just can't make. He also isn't fast enough, or dare I say it, smart enough to move to the right spot game in game out. Kobe is fine. We have seen him run this before, although I think with his age becoming a concern the constant off ball movement may wear him out prematurely Nash does not fit this system even in the slightest. Even though he is a great shooter, I think there are two problems. Firstly, he is a ball dominant passer. They may as well run Steve Blake if they are not going to use Nash to run pocket passes off pick and rolls. Gasol and DHo are two of the best players you could pair him with. Secondly, he is not an athletic guard, he plays with his mind, not his body (at least any more), a Chris Paul without a crossover. The flotsam on the bench are also not going to be hugely useful either, with perhaps the exception of Jordan Hill and maybe maybe Antawn Jamison. If I was the LAL, I would be going D'Antoni, making PnR with Steve Nash my bread and butter and screen sets for Kobe.
Reports indicate that Bernie Bickerstaff's tenure as the interim coach may be short lived as the Lakers have already talked to Phil today...(Could have been last week for all we know). Phil is already contacting potential assistants so Bernie may be on his way out too.
Predicted this when the Lakers were 0-2. Although I don't like the decision, I still think Mike Brown is NOT a championship caliber coach. He will go down in history as the coach who has 2 best players in his era not to win a championship, a la LeBron and Kobe. He might even never get a head coaching job again.
I hope the Lake Show does not hire Jackson. Jackson thinks he is bigger than the game. Now, he is asking for travel restrictions! This is classic case of the tail wagging the dog. Don't do it, Busses. The NBA does not need this guy back.
The guy has 11 NBA Championship rings. ELEVEN!!! Whether you like him or not, the guy can coach. The Lakers are in a world of hurt right now. They have NBA Finals talent, but they need someone to lead them to the promised land. If I was running the Lakers, I would hire Jackson in a heartbeat. By the way, I'm not a Laker fan or a Jackson fan. It's just smart basketball business.
Yeah, right. Jackson only won titles because his teams were loaded. Anyone could coach this Lakers team to a winning record....oh wait.
I don't think anyone can doubt that. Even if he had no rings I would still consider him HOF lock - he has won 70% of the games he has coached in the NBA. He commands respect. I just think his system is not a fit. I'm calling D'Antoni.

September 2000
Released: 2000, Frontiers Rating: 3.2/5 Reviewer: Rick Warning: If you are not into hard rock disregard this review. If you have an open mind or are into hard rock and other less head crushing strains of metal then read on. Norway is a 4 piece band out of New Jersey. The band was founded by lead vocalist Glenn Pierson and guitarist Jim Santos. Together they released their debut CD "Night Dreams". They then recruited Joe Slattery on bass and Marty Brasington for the drum stool. If you like Night Ranger, Axel Rudi Pell and bands of their ilk then you will be interested in Norway. They play hard rock in the melodic vein with lots of great guitar hooks and memorable songs and never slip into that twilight zone of cheese that so many hard rock have disappeared into in the past. If you have read this far then you are interested in this kind of music. Read on brave metalhead. The CD opens with "Givin It All". A great up tempo track that sets the stage for the CD. "One Night Alone" is right out of the 80s. A great hard rockin track with some cool keyboards. Like any good hard rock CD Arrival contains a great ballad called "Can't Live Without You." If this was 1989 then this song would make this CD a triple platinum disc. As it is its kind of out of place in 2000. "Cry Baby" speed things up a bit reminds slightly of Great White. One of the best tracks on the CD. Other stand out tracks include "Find My Way Home" and "Someday, Someway". Norway had created a CD which is chok full of great guitar, vocals, keyboards and enormous amounts of melody. That is both their strength and their weakness. They never really crank it up to the next level. All of their songs are either slower numbers or mid paced rockers. They never turn up the speed ala Dokken who always have a burner or 2 on each CD to balance everything out. These guys are great at what they do. That is delivering good, melodic hard rock.

The life-sized cow figurine is coming home for the evening. Watching it roll indoors from the sidewalk on East Broward Boulevard reminds proprietor Jerry Miles of all the other outrageous objects he has employed over the decades — oversized Adirondack chairs, enormous mirrored sunglasses — to draw attention to his funky little novelty and clothing shop.
Inside the J. Miles store, the funhouse experience carries on. Pull back the curtain to a dressing room and you'll find a faux shower with ceramic tile and silver bathroom fixtures. A techno remix of "Forever Young" plays on the sound system. Rainbow-colored disco balls whirl from the ceiling. Club wear and hundreds of tiny men's swim trunks dangle from hangers. Rubber ducks are piled in a bucket. Replicas of Egyptian cat statuettes perch regally on shelves.
Miles, age 48, calls this menagerie his "five-and-dime of oddness." His landlord of eight years calls it unwelcome, and wants both the merchandise and Miles gone. If the landlord prevails, 721 E. Broward Blvd. will be the fourth locale that Miles has had to vacate since he set up shop in the city 28 years ago — and the retail face of downtown Fort Lauderdale likely will become a little more upscale and a little less quirky.
Miles fell in love with Fort Lauderdale during a spring break trip in the late 1970s, while he was attending Michigan State University. Soon he had moved to Florida, transferred schools, and opened a T-shirt shop on a then-desolate stretch of Las Olas Boulevard. As Las Olas improved, rents rose; after 16 years, Miles couldn't afford a space on the posh shopping strip anymore. It took him years to find a suitable new location, on Broward just east of Federal Highway. This time around, he's opted to challenge his landlord in court. Raising his fists in the air, he says, "We're gonna hang boxing gloves around the cow's neck, because I'm fighting."
The J. Miles storefront is part of several commercial properties that Richard Lyons, a prominent urologist from Erie, Pennsylvania, bought as investments between 1968 and 1992. For years, real estate agent Barbara Schweppe managed the properties through a limited power of attorney that allowed her to negotiate leases, collect rent, and make repairs. Miles describes the 76-year-old Schweppe as "classy, fair, honest."
Schweppe played bridge and drank Bloody Marys every week with Richard Lyons' wife, Norma. She sent the doctor quarterly reports on his properties. Then, in 2003, Schweppe said in a deposition, Richard Lyons suffered a stroke. He died in 2007. His son Sanford commissioned an audit of the commercial properties, and daughter Valerie moved to Fort Lauderdale to help oversee family affairs. Schweppe said Valerie disapproved of the way Schweppe managed the properties, which included some prime real estate on swanky Las Olas. Valerie has argued in court documents that Schweppe charged below-market rents, thereby depriving the Lyons family of income.
Tensions mounted when a restaurateur purportedly offered to buy one of the Lyonses' tenants out of a long-term lease on Las Olas. Erich Emmenegger, who operated a high-end gift and decor store called Elements at 1034 E. Las Olas Blvd. for 18 years, says that an investor in Mark's Restaurant, which is next to Elements, approached him with a high-six-figure offer in the summer of 2005. Emmenegger says he informed Schweppe, who then brought the offer to the Lyonses. Schweppe reported back that Norma Lyons fumed, saying "No way in hell is Elements gonna make that much money off my property," Emmenegger said.
Emmenegger says that he suspects the investor then began to negotiate directly with Norma Lyons, because the investor stopped returning his phone calls.
A few months later, Emmenegger says, a wealthy customer offered to buy a 50 percent stake in Elements for $350,000. The customer, whom he declines to name, gave him a $35,000 deposit, he says, and planned to run the store full-time for the nine years remaining on the lease. With that deal in the works, Emmenegger and his partner, Ron Merritt, sold their Fort Lauderdale residence and bought their dream home in Mississippi. They envisioned a life of semi-retirement, with frequent trips to Fort Lauderdale and income still rolling in from Elements.
Then disaster struck. On December 12, 2005, Emmenegger says, he got an eviction notice at Elements. Emmenegger and Merritt hired a lawyer to fight, but with bills mounting and mortgage payments due in Mississippi, they decided to unload their merchandise at a steep discount and close shop in the spring of 2006. That meant a loss of future income.
"We moved into the [Mississippi] house and it was totally beautiful, but we couldn't enjoy it," Emmenegger says by phone. "We were worried about bills and getting jobs."
To pay the bills, Merritt took a job playing piano overseas, which requires him to be gone for three months at a time. "We never see each other anymore," Emmenegger says. "Our life is all turned around."
Schweppe was also a tenant of the Lyonses, renting a storefront for her real estate office due east of Elements on Las Olas. She, too, got an eviction notice. In the accompanying letter, Lyons family attorney William Tuttle demanded that Schweppe vacate 1038 E. Las Olas, which she had occupied since 1988. Schweppe fought the eviction through her attorney, Michael Hamaway. She declined to comment.

Momentum and Kinetic Energy
Name: Danielle Status: student Grade: 9-12 Location: CA Country: N/A Date: 12/13/2005
Why is momentum the derivative of kinetic energy?
This relation follows from the definitions: kinetic energy, KE, is defined as: KE = 1/2 x M x V^2 and momentum, P, is defined as: M x V where M is the mass and V is the velocity, so: d(KE)/dV = 1/2 x d(M x V^2) and if the mass is a constant: d(KE)/dV = 1/2 x M x d(V^2/dV) = 1/2 x M x 2 x V = M x V = P. There is one further refinement that needs to be taken into consideration, but it does not change the overall result. Velocity is a vector quantity (that is, it has both magnitude and direction so strictly speaking V = (Vx, Vy, Vz) and V^2 is, strictly speaking, the dot product of V and itself, V*V = Vx^2 + Vy^2 + Vz^2. Momentum on the other hand is a vector, and so has both magnitude and direction so strictly speaking it is the magnitude of P: |P| = [M x (V*V)^1/2]. In introductory presentations of mechanics this refinement is usually ignored.

Continued concerns in Zachary over voucher program
POSTED: Thursday, May 10, 2012 - 5:15pm
UPDATED: Thursday, May 10, 2012 - 5:19pm
ZACHARY, LA (NBC33) — The Louisiana Black Alliance for Educational Options is asking the school board in Zachary to rethink their decision on Jindal's voucher program.
The alliance says the school board reversing their decision to take 30 students from underperforming schools is a step in the wrong direction.
In a press release issued earlier this week, the Zachary Community School District said they're concerned about finances and the quality of education students in Zachary would get if they took additional students.
Zachary had first agreed to accept 15 kindergarteners and 15 first grade students.
"By not participating, it's life as usual, and for many parents life as usual has not been a beautiful thing," Eric Lewis, Louisiana Black Alliance for Education Options, said. "But giving 30 kids, which was what they agreed to, it just drastically changed the quality of life for 30 children."
The Superintendent of Zachary schools wasn't available for a comment.

How to Turn No into Yes!
Win Over Your Friend
By Caroline Hwang
Special Offers
Unlike your boss, a friend is in your life purely because she likes you. (We're talking close pals here not someone in the carpool.) While this makes for a happy relationship, it's tough in a negotiation, because it means that even if your request is reasonable and within her power (watching your kids a few days a week so you can take a class), you have no real leverage. If she says no, your only remaining weapon is to threaten to stop speaking to her which wouldn't be very friendly on your part. You can tell her that if she helps you, you'll owe her, big-time. But friends don't usually call in chits at least not explicitly, which is why you also can't remind her of the many times you've leaped to her aid. So how do you win this one?
Throw yourself on her mercy. "Friends care about each other, so if she sees how dire the situation is, she'll most likely feel inclined to do what she can," says McGinn.
Make your plea in a way that emphasizes how close you are. McGinn offers a recent experience of her own as an example: "When a friend asked to borrow money, she said to me, 'I hate doing this, but the only other people I can turn to are my parents.' Now, she and I have known each other since we were 16, and so I immediately said yes, because she was the person by my side when I was rebelling against my parents."
Raise the stakes. If your friend just won't say yes, it's probably because the cost to her seems higher than the benefit would be to you, says Croson. Your task, then, is to swing that balance by making it clear how very important this request is. Let her know that you need the class in order to get a better job, because you and your husband just aren't making enough to meet expenses. If you've asked to borrow money, tell her something you might have withheld up until now (that your husband lost money on a bad investment, or your mother needs financial help). If the benefit to you is clearly greater than the cost to her, a real friend won't be able to resist.
Deal breaker: "How can you not help me, after all the times I've helped you?"
Deal maker: "You're my only hope."
The best way to get a person to agree with you is to get him to want what you want.

Brazil UFO Video Looks Like A Flying Octopus By Unexplainable.Net 4/22/09
HTML clipboard A UFO video from Brazil recently surfaced which shows what clearly looks like an unidentified flying object. The strange thing is, it is Brazilian UFO resembles an octopus but with many more appendages. It sort of looks like a Chinese star within extruding bottom section. This UFO video, although not proven authentic, possesses vivid qualities that surpasses many other UFO videos available for viewing.
During this Brazilian UFO video, the flying object appears to shift shapes. During the first scenes it looked like a jellyfish shaped spacecraft then shift shapes into something that looks more like an octopus or a Chinese star.
This UFO video is said to be filmed by a child in Rio, Brazil, but confirmation of the authenticity of the story and video has not yet been validated.
This video surfaces at a time very close to the announcement of the Brazilian UFO document declassification. Brazil is the home of the Amazon rainforest where many UFOlogists believe an alien base makes exist. Though Brazilian Air Force has already admitted that UFOs are real and in recent times Brazil has been a UFO hotspot.

quote: Shonn Greene believes "something's got to change" at the quarterback position, and it's time to "see if somebody else can do it." "You feel bad for Mark (Sanchez), but at the same time you want to win games. We're not here to protect people's feelings... If somebody's not getting the job done, you see if somebody else can do it. It's the same with coaching, or any position. You don't mean to belittle someone or say 'he sucks.' That's just the harsh reality," said Greene. This comes on the heels of an anonymous Jets player saying Tim Tebow is "terrible." There's a clear divide in the locker room, and it's obvious Greene thinks Sanchez is the terrible one. Players can think what they want, but things aren't expected to change any time in the immediate future. Sanchez will start in Week 11 against the Rams.
quote:Dudes been a winner at every level he has played. Can't be worse than the two guys in front.
quote:Is this Shonn Greene's roundabout way of saying he needs more carries?
quote:you just described tebow if you change two to one.
