Just a few hours into jury selection in the murder trial of Timothy Claytor on Monday, Judge Tyler Gill issued a postponement due to Claytor's health.
The trial is scheduled to reconvene Wednesday, May 28 at 9 a.m.
During the trial Monday, Claytor appeared to be shaky and pale, said his attorney Stewart Wheeler, prompting jury selection to stop. Claytor was later admitted to a Bowling Green hospital the next day for observation.
"I looked over and he (Claytor) was shaky and looking pretty chalky," said Wheeler. Claytor was dismissed after the court took his blood pressure and found it to be higher than normal.
Claytor was arrested Friday, Aug. 31, 2012, after he allegedly shot and killed 46-year-old Dale Holloway of Russellville the night before. He was indicted on murder Friday, Sept. 7, 2012, which is a Class A felony, and if convicted, carries a sentence of 20 years to life in prison.
It has taken over a year to set the trial due to Claytor taking his case to a higher court hoping to be immune from prosecution due to his self-defence claims. However, the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled the appellate court did not have a responsibility to hear such cases before they went to trial.
The trial could last at least two weeks, said judge Gill.
During Monday's proceedings to select a jury, both the prosecution and defense went over the possible jurors with a fine tooth comb. Many didn't make the cut for one reason or another. Many questions were asked during jury selection, which included feelings prospective jurors had about the highly publicised George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin murder case where self-defense was used as a reason a young man was dead. Other questions asked included asking if prospective jurors had issue with people who had a drinking problem or those who carried on extra-marital relationships.
Commonwealth Attorney Gail Guiling told the prospective jurors they would see graphic photos of Holloway's wounds during the trial and that there would also be a video presented showing Holloway getting shot.
"You're going to see a man die, can you handle this?" asked Guiling of the prospective jurors.
Some technical difficulties may prove to cause problems as the trial proceeds. Problems were identified early with the overhead projector, however, a professional was scheduled to work on the issue.
Relatives of Holloway attended the jury selection Monday saying it was as if they were having to relive the moment over and over again.
"This feels like an old wound being opened again," said Miranda Corbitt, a step-daughter of Dale Holloway. "We miss him very much. He was a great father and a great grandfather, he was a family man."
Corbitt was upset her family was not allowed to wear T-shirts they had made up after the death of their loved one. The family was also not allowed to wear ribbons either, which held a picture of Holloway.
"We feel like we are being made to hide our love for our family," said Corbitt. "We feel violated that we can't express our love for him."
The Logan County Sheriff's Department was called out to Claytor's home on T. McReynolds Road at approximately 10:22 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 30, 2012, in response to a disturbance involving a weapon. Upon arrival, officers discovered Holloway unresponsive in the front yard with multiple gunshot wounds.
According to the sheriff's office, it appears that Holloway came to the home of Claytor looking for Lori White, a female associate of Holloway. It appears, says police, that some type of argument took place between Holloway and Claytor that resulted in the death of Holloway.
Claytor's attorney said he feels the jury selection is going "slow," but holds firm to his client acting in self-defense.
"I've said all along this was self-defense," said Wheeler. "And nothing will change my mind."
Commonwealth's Guiling will not comment saying she makes no statements during a trial.

Guys, I made my first sale! Thanks! Envato (GR), you R O C K! But, I would like to thank the person who purchased my item too. Is it possible? How do we get those details? Cheers.
You will never have access to such information. However if you really want to thank your buyers, why don't do it via help file?
@Demorfoza, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have a help file with a thank you note included. I wanted to send him/her a PM. Looks like it's not possible
There is one exception to this. There may be situation when buyer will send you question (regarding your file or whatever) with contact form based on your profile. Then you will be able to check if that person really bought your file, but only then. There's no other way
@Demorfoza, That's cool. But, in my case, they've not contacted me. Does that mean that my product is awesome! mmmm… well, I figured it out. My purchaser is a "GENIUS", they don't need support . Thanks again to my first purchaser, thanks Demorfoza and thank you ENVATO.
Good question ! We asked a similar one too about simply how to contact or just to know who is the purchaser ?? Unfortunately no way
If you have no other option, which it seems you don't, may I suggest just thanking them in the items comments. There is a decent chance that the purchaser might eventually see your gratitude there.
Dvhughes, yes maybe

2002 Subaru Forester Problems
The Check Engine Light may illuminate because of low catalytic converter efficiency. This same issue may cause the car to fail the State Smog Test if one is required.
The head gasket has a high failure rate due to cooling system problems. Subaru is aware of the problem and has extended the warranty to 8 years/100k miles on many vehicles.
The front oxygen (air fuel ratio) sensor element may develop a crack, causing the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Subaru has recalled certain models to replace sensors that may fail. The Subaru service program number is WXW-80, this is not a government mandated recall.
2002 Subaru Forester Questions
I lost the timing belt at 104,000 Blew the engine. This would be for a full swap to a used motor of equivalent miles.
Check light code is P1443. I can see no leaks. Only happens in very cold weather. Smell seems to be coming from heating vents. Do I have to pay $90 for a full diagnostics?
No drips on garage floor
2002 Subaru Forester Recalls
The transmission park mechanism located inside the automatic transmission may not hold when the selector is in the "park" position. The vehicle could move/roll without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the automatic transmission parking rod assembly to correct this concern.

This is a fantastic well rounded car - it comes with enough storage space for almost any situation and the all wheel drive gives it greatly improved handling compared with anything else in it's class. My car has been well-maintained and, perhaps as a result, has had no mechanical issues and only one electrical issue: the auto-dimming rear view mirror does not seem to dim. Overall the handling...

Base Defense is a single/cooperative mod based on horde-style system. It's awesome, you should try it ;)
Dec 1st, 2012 7 people agree 0 people don't
Great mod, really made the traditional Half-life mechanics feel modern in-tune with the Horde-style systems we see in most shooters and stays fun throughout. Alot of balance problems though, most noticeably the AI-pathfinding which is so horrendous at finding players hiding in spots that its game-breaking at times. However with 4 players running around the map proper, its a blast.

Despite some bugs I found, it was a cleverly well-done mod. I certainly enjoyed it.

Local product Matt Cain signs deal of lifetime
San Francisco Giant becomes highest-paid right-handed pitcher in history
Ten years ago, a humble Houston High School senior named Matt Cain was chosen as the best high school baseball player in the state. Upon learning that, he asked his coach, Lane McCarter, this: "Do I really deserve it?"
On Monday, he signed the richest contract given to a right-handed pitcher in the history of Major League Baseball. And if McCarter were to bet, he'd say his old player would ask something similar.
"Honestly, yes, I can see him being that way," McCarter, still the Houston coach, said. "Just because that's him."
Cain, 27, signed a contract with the San Francisco Giants that's worth $127.5 million over six years. That's believed to be the richest pro sports contract a local high school product has ever signed. In 1999, Penny Hardaway signed a seven-year, $86 million contract with the NBA's Phoenix Suns, a deal that wouldn't be richer than Cain's even when adjusted for inflation.
Cain's contract adds $112.5 million over five years to a deal that was already worth $15 million this season. And if a $21 million option for the 2018 season is exercised, the total would be $141 million over seven years.
His deal is among the richest in all of baseball. Left-handers C.C. Sabathia of the Yankees ($161 million from 2009 to 2015, plus $30 million added last fall) and Johan Santana of the Mets ($137.5 million from 2008-13) signed more lucrative deals.
Kevin Brown's seven-year, $105 million deal with the Dodgers, signed after the 1998 season, was the previous record for a right-hander.
Cain has a 69-73 career record. Last year, his career-best 2.88 earned-run average was among the 10 best in the National League. His 3.35 career ERA is fifth-best among active pitchers.
"It's an honor to be able to be in this situation," Cain told reporters at a press conference in San Francisco, where he was part of the Giants' 2010 World Series-winning team. "We're trying to take that all in and just accept it all and embrace it."
Monday at Houston, the eye-popping figure for the 2002 Mustang alum was no secret.
"All our players came in today and that's all they could talk about," McCarter said.
Cain is no stranger to his alma mater, even though he moved to Arizona a couple of years ago after he was married. He trained with the Mustangs before the 2009 season, his first as an All-Star, and he returned in October of last year for the program's reunion and to play in its golf tournament.
McCarter last spoke with Cain before spring training and he could sense Cain wanted to stay in San Francisco.
"He's a loyal guy," McCarter said. "... Looked like things worked out the way he wanted them to do."
At one point, Cain seemed destined to head to the University of Memphis. He signed a letter of intent to play for the Tigers, but it became increasingly clear that his professional potential would outweigh the college offer.
On draft day in 2002, the Giants picked him in the first round. Cain became the first local player chosen in the first round in 30 years.
In the days before that draft, Mark Wright, a summer teammate, had a prescient tease: "He's the Million Dollar Man," he said.
And then some.

Important: The networks package has been deprecated. Use the superseding package GraphTheory instead.
This procedure connects each vertex in S1 to a vertex in S2 with an edge. The names of the new edges are returned in an expression sequence.
If the 'directed' flag is included as an argument then all the edges are regarded as directed from S1 to S2. In all other cases, the edges are regarded as undirected.
Specific edge weights and names can be indicated by providing a list of weights (L1) and names (L1). In the case of more than one edge, it can be helpful to provide the vertices as lists rather than sets so that mapping to the edges is unaffected by the random ordering of elements in sets.
The lists L1 and L2 must contain entries where S1 and S2 contain c1 and c2 elements respectively.

Study: Different Jews Are Genetically Alike
Actually, it's a pretty interesting study
While it's easy to be flip about studies on the similarities of Jews in far-flung places, a study recently released by a consortium of colleges in the United States, Israel, France, and Spain, did yield some interesting results:
It turns out that Syrian Jews have more genetic commonality with Ashkenazi (European) Jews than with other oriental Jews (Jews from Asian and African lands).
Also, Yemenite Jews, who have long been thought to have lived in isolation, apparently have genetic connections with people from neighboring states.
Jews of North African origins have greater genetic affinity with Ashkenazi Jews that with non-Jewish residents from North African countries.
What's most interesting is the data about the North African Jews, which reveals a fissure between two communities, one that escaped Spain and Portugal during the Spanish Inquisition to settle in North Africa and another that dates back over 2,000 years.
The genetic findings corroborate historical accounts of the history of Jews from North African areas. Jewish migrants were apparently among the first people who established the western settlements of North Africa more than 2,000 years ago. Together with Phoenician merchants, they established the historic city of Carthage, today's Tunis. The most venerable genetic traces uncovered in the study of North African Jews reinforce historical accounts of Jewish settlement under the Ptolemy dynasty in Egypt, in the year 300 BCE.
But ultimately, it seems we all came from the Middle East. And as Moby brays, we are all made of stars.

Scott confirms he'll defend Australian Masters
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP)
Masters champion Adam Scott will attempt to become only the second man to win back-to-back Australian Masters titles after agreeing to play the tournament at Royal Melbourne in November.
Six-time champion Greg Norman remains the only player to have successfully defended the Australian Masters title.
Scott has already achieved something which former No. 1-ranked Norman was never able to do, becoming the first Australian to win the U.S. Masters when he sank a 12-foot birdie putt on the second extra hole to beat Angel Cabrera in a playoff at Augusta in April.
In a statement Tuesday, Scott says ''I'm excited to be returning to defend my Australian Masters title at Royal Melbourne, one of my favorite courses.''

Last swing ruins night of good things for Oakland
PHOENIX The Oakland Athletics did so many things right - big hits, great defense.
Then one swing of the bat by Arizona's Ryan Roberts ruined everything.
Roberts' three-run home run off closer Brian Fuentes with two outs in the ninth inning gave the Diamondbacks a 9-8 victory over the A's in the opener of their three-game interleague series.
For Fuentes, it was the worst episode in a series of recent difficulties. He has allowed seven runs in his last four games, over a span of 4 1-3 innings. Asked if Fuentes would continue to be the closer - Grant Balfour held the job earlier - Oakland manager Bob Melvin said, "I don't make decisions like that two minutes after a game."
Fuentes said he was "struggling to keep the ball in the strike zone."
"I lost my tempo or something towards the end," he said, "and couldn't locate my fastball, so I fell behind quite a bit. They are a good team. I didn't expect them to roll over in the second inning when we scored six runs."
Last Sept. 27 - en route to the NL West title - Roberts' grand slam gave the Diamondbacks a wild come-from-behind victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. This one, he said, was just as sweet.
"It's all the same, man," he said, "except for that was last year and this is this year. The feeling is just undescribable. It's awesome."
Roberts, who also doubled twice, lined a 2-1 fastball into the seats in left field to give Arizona its only lead of the game.
"Oh my gosh, I was just trying to get a good pitch the whole at-bat," Roberts said. "I was just trying to get something to hit and not be the last out."
J.J. Putz (1-3) pitched a scoreless ninth to earn the Diamondbacks' third straight win and fifth in six games.
Arizona tied a franchise record by rallying to win from a six-run deficit. The Diamondbacks have done it eight times, twice this season. They won for the first time this season after trailing through eight innings.
The A's had a season-high 16 hits but the offense wasn't enough for a team that came one swing from winning for the fourth time in five games after taking three of four from Texas.
Fuentes (2-2), who blew his third save in eight opportunities, walked Chris Young with two outs, then Aaron Hill singled to bring up Roberts.
Oakland's Seth Smith had three hits, including a two-run homer, and a spectacular, soaring catch at the bullpen fence in left catch to rob Hill of a home run.
Melvin said he didn't know Smith could jump that high.
"Check the scouting report I guess," Smith said. "I used to jump. I played basketball a long time ago but that was 10 years and 30 pounds ago."
Paul Goldschmidt and Jason Kubel also homered for the Diamondbacks. Kubel finished with three RBIs.
Oakland chased Daniel Hudson while scoring six runs in the second inning, but the Diamondbacks scored three times in the bottom half, two on Kubel's booming home run onto the concourse in right-center.

Kanye West got a dose of his own medicine at Sunday's 2012 BET Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
Kim Kardashian's boyfriend and Jay-Z won the video of the year award for Otis, edging Jay-Z's wife Beyonce, who was twice nominated in the category. During their acceptance speech, Jay-Z jokingly interrupted Kanye, bringing back memories of when Kanye did the same thing to Taylor Swift after she beat Beyonce for an MTV award in 2009.

"Excuse me Kanye, I'm gonna let you continue, but …," said Beyonce's husband, who also took home the best group award Sunday with West.
Elsewhere Sunday, the late Whitney Houston was well remembered throughout the broadcast, with the most emotional moment coming when her mother Cissy sang Bridge Over Troubled Water in her memory.

It was pretty much what I expected. I thought it would be a little more "form" fitting since it was mad specifically for my truck. We have installed it once and laid on it, but haven't spent a night on it yet. It just feels like a typical air mattress. Luckily the price was about the same as buying a full size air mattress from Walmart which I think might have worked in my application. The inflation pump is a great little pump!

Officially Trending: Jews in Artistic Boxes
From Berlin to Venice
Following Jamie Kirchick's stellar dispatch yesterday from his time as the Jew in the Box at the Berlin Jewish Museum, we thought we had perhaps heard the last of the phenomenon.
Then we checked our e-mails today:
The Jewish Museum of Venice/ Museo Ebraico di Venezia is proud to announce a solo exhibition of works by Dwora Fried: Outsider in a Box. Powerful and provocative, and at times humorous, Ms. Fried's mixed media capture people, places and emotions under glass – literally. Composed in wooden boxes with glass fronts, the pieces ask unsettling questions about identity, beliefs and space. They recreate imaginary scenes of displacement, entrapment and isolation. The confines of these small, wooden boxes allow the viewer to share in the intimate world of the artist.
"Growing up as a Jew in Vienna, I have always felt like an outsider and that perspective is reflected in my art," explains Fried. "It is by far my most autobiographical work; it contains elements of my life as a jewish/austrian/lesbian child of a holocaust survivor."
I'm not sure how literally this exhibit is going to take the idea of boxes, but for the Austrian-born, Israeli-educated, American artist, the bar has been set pretty high. Or pretty low, depending on your take.
With any luck, the next stop on this artistic diffusion won't be Japan's Jewish Museum. I think to have all the former Axis powers with the same exhibit might send the wrong signal–assuming it hasn't been sent already.

CROWN POINT, La. (AP) -- Water covered streets in communities along Barataria Bay, where Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was to visit later on Friday.
The flooding, driven by Hurricane Isaac, was receding somewhat after isolating the area as the storm made landfall on Wednesday.
Romney was to visit the Jean Lafitte-Crown Point area along with Republican Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
President Barack Obama was expected to visit Louisiana on Monday.
In Crown Point, police were telling people not to drive because wakes caused by their vehicles were pushing water toward homes.
In Crown Point, police were telling people not to drive along streets because wakes caused by their vehicles were pushing water toward homes.
Crown Point, Jean Lafitte and other settlements that line the bay, which juts inland from the Gulf of Mexico, are accustomed to high water driven by hurricanes. But Isaac, a relatively weak storm by the standards of Betsy and Katrina, pushed in much more water than expected after it stalled after landfall.
The question of whether more levee protection is needed is a thorny one in this laid-back fishing community, where the water is a lifeblood of business and a way of life. Many local residents like the free access to the bay and Gulf, and say levee and flood structures would change the balance of nature and the reason they live there.
Mike Townsend, 47, said he was happy the area was not included in levee plans despite the high water. A system of levees, floodgates and other structures would be devastating, he said.
'We like to come and go freely. You can go for fish and crabs that come up from the Gulf,' he said. Levees and other structures could cut that off, he said.
Townsend said he'd rather see money go into restoring the eroding coast. 'That's where the money will be well spent,' he said.
Townsend is an air conditioning technician for the New Orleans school system. He's a Republican -- like many people in the GOP stronghold of Jefferson Parish where Romney could expect a friendly reception.
Townsend said he's curious what Romney will say about Isaac and approaches to protecting the area.
'I like his business sense,' said Townsend.
In nearby Jean Lafitte, 45-year-old Richard Riley spent Friday morning walking about a mile from his flooded house to nearby Crown Point.
Riley rode out Isaac at the house, and though floodwater were receding, he decided it was time to leave.
At the Intracoastal Waterway Bridge, he was met by a Jefferson Parish sheriff's rescue team, who took him to a nearby location where family members were waiting.
Unlike Townsend, Riley -- who also is a Republican -- said he was in favor of building new flood protection for the Lafitte area, especially after Isaac brought in a surprising amount of water.
'It floods here a lot but this time there was a lot more water,' he said.
'We need the levees. That's the only way we can protect our homes.'
Riley was pleased that Obama was going to visit.
'He needs to see the devastation and allocate the money that's needed to build new levees or do whatever is needed to protect us,' he said.
In advance of Romney's visit, Secret Service agents were checking out the area along the Lafitte-Larose Highway, the only roadway into the Lafitte area.
Lafitte is named for the buccaneer Jean Lafitte, whose ships stalked merchant prey in the Gulf of Mexico in the early years of the 1800s.
He's best remembered as a hero of the Battle of New Orleans, the American victory over a much larger British army fought weeks after the United States and Britain had reached a peace treaty to end the War of 1812.
Lafitte provided cannons, powder and men to fight at a plantation in Chalmette, just east of New Orleans, under the command of Andrew Jackson.
The U.S.-pirate force suffered few casualties, but thousands of British soldiers died.
Jackson went on to become president, but after the battle Lafitte returned to his pirating ways and disappeared into the fog of history a few years later.
Neither the British nor the Americans knew the war was over when the battle was fought in January 1815. Historians have argued since whether Britain would have been willing to give back New Orleans -- and control of the Mississippi River -- had their army been victorious even though the war was over.
Several movies have been made about the battle, including one in 1958 in which Charlton Hesston portrayed Jackson and Yule Brunner was cast as Lafitte.

NAIROBI, Kenya — The man U.S. Navy SEALs tried to take down in Somalia over the weekend was a Kenyan who had plotted to attack his country's parliament building and the United Nations headquarters in Nairobi, according to a Kenyan government intelligence report.
The pre-dawn, seaside SEAL raid on Saturday targeted Abdulkadir Mohamed Abdulkadir, who is also known as Ikrima, a U.S. official told The Associated Press. The U.S. troops are not believed to have captured or killed their target. The official insisted on anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release the information
In the internal report by Kenya's National Intelligence Service, Abdulkadir is listed as the lead planner of a plot sanctioned by al-Qaida's core leadership in Pakistan to carry out multiple attacks in Kenya in late 2011 and early 2012. The AP has previously reported that those attacks, linked to the Somali Islamic extremist group al-Shabab, were disrupted.
The report, which was leaked to AP and other media in the wake of the Sept. 21 terror attack on Nairobi's Westgate Mall that killed more than 60 people, lists Samantha Lewthwaite — a Briton known in British media as the "White Widow" — as one of several "key actors" in the plot to attack Parliament buildings, the U.N. Office in Nairobi, Kenyan Defense Forces camps and other targets. The plotters also intended to assassinate top Kenyan political and security officials, the report said.
Police disrupted that plot. Lewthwaite, who was married to one of the suicide bombers in the 2005 attack on London's transit system, escaped capture when she produced a fraudulently obtained South African passport in another person's name. Late last month Interpol, acting on a request from Kenya, issued an arrest notice for Lewthwaite.
The National Intelligence Service report, in an entry dated exactly one year before the Sept. 21 mall attack, said al-Shabab operatives were in Nairobi "and are planning to mount suicide attacks on undisclosed date, targeting Westgate Mall and Holy Family Basilica." Two suspects were believed in possession of suicide vests, grenades and AK-47 assault rifles, the report said.
The report also warns of "Mumbai-style attacks," referring to the assaults in Mumbai, India in 2008 in which operatives stormed several locations with guns and grenades.
The report makes no mention of Abdulkadir in relation to the attack on Westgate Mall.
The internal document shows that Kenyan intelligence officers have detailed information about plots and individuals tasked with carrying them out, and that the spy handlers face a continuous threat. Other targeted sites included the Hilton Hotel, the Yaya shopping mall, the office of the prime minister, and possibly the embassies of the United States — which was blown up by al-Qaida in 1998 — and of Britain and Israel.
The SEAL raid in Somalia was only one of two anti-terror missions by U.S. forces in Africa over the weekend. In Libya on Saturday, the U.S. Army's Delta Force captured Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, known by his alias Anas al-Libi, an al-Qaida leader linked to the 1998 American Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.
That raid prompted a warning Monday from a group of Libyan Islamic extremists who vowed to avenge al-Libi's capture.
In a statement posted on a militant website Monday, "The Revolutionaries of Benghazi, al-Bayda and Darna" denounced the kidnapping, saying "this shameful act will cost the Libyan government a lot."
The cities of Benghazi, Bayda and Darna are strongholds of Islamic extremists who are carrying out political assassinations targeting political activists, judges and members of security agencies.

If LeBron James went to New Jersey, Rod Thorn would have stayed
Jul 16, 2010, 3:28 PM EDT
And the ramifications of LeBron's decision just keep rolling in.
On his last day on the job as general manager for the New Jersey Nets, Rod Thorn sat down with reporters and among the things he said was that he would have stayed on the job if LeBron James had chosen New Jersey, according to ESPN.
"It's been a heck of a tour here, over these last 10 years," Thorn
said Friday. "I don't have much to say about the last two years. The
first part of it, even the first year was a lot of fun. It's always hard
to leave someplace, particularly someplace where you put so much into.
The team is in very capable hands and the Nets have some good times
ahead of them."
Thorn has had a long and storied career as an NBA executive — he is the man who drafted Michael Jordan. That turned out to be a pretty smart move. He's had a lot of other ones. The challenge of building a winner around LeBron would have kept him on trying to make more smart moves in New Jersey.
But don't be shocked if Thorn, 69, takes another gig.
"I have had some calls that have been interesting," Thorn said. "I
want to see what kind of options I have, whether it's to stay in this or
do something in something else. Right now, I have some and we'll see if
others come along."
- KnicksTweets - Jul 16, 2010 at 3:57 PM
But didn't LeBron decide on Miami 4 years ago?
- J - Jul 16, 2010 at 10:33 PM
Rod Thorn the luckiest executive in the NBA.
Lucked into Jordan, and lucked into Kidd.

They include the construction of bridges, railways and other large-scale infrastructure projects outside of metropolitan areas.In a report earlier submitted to lawmakers, the finance ministry said that the government will need 124 trillion won to deliver on the promises, which is much higher than the earlier-projected 80 trillion won.Some experts are demanding strict reviews of those projects, some of which they suspect were promised to gain more votes.The government renewed its commitment to fulfill all of Park's campaign pledges, though it did not specify how to raise the necessary funds.Of the total, 84 trillion won will be required to launch new projects, while the rest will be needed to continue ongoing projects, the ministry said."We should continue any existing businesses, while at the same time push for new projects in accordance with their priorities," Finance Minister Hyun Oh-seok told lawmakers."We will go ahead even with the projects which lack business feasibility by making adjustments (to their original plans)," he added.The projection comes after the government unveiled a plan in May detailing on how to secure about 135 trillion won to carry out President Park's major campaign pledges over the next five years.The plan was focused on cutting down on government expenditures, reducing existing tax benefits and regulating the underground economy, among other things, but did not include how to finance campaign pledges made to regional governments.The finance ministry is expected to unveil a separate financing plan for those regional campaign promises.<All rights reserved by Yonhap News Agency>

During an interview on The Dan Patrick Show on Friday morning, new Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim outfielder Josh Hamilton claimed that the Texas Rangers never made him a contract offer this offseason. Hamilton said that he gave the Rangers no promise to counter any offer he received, and that he gave the Rangers the first shot to re-sign him after the season. Apparently Texas never even took that shot, leading to Hamilton signing with the division rival Angels. Hamilton also claims that he wasn't offended by the lack of an offer from his former team, but that the Rangers' assumption that he was comfortable with the team and wouldn't go anywhere was a mistake. Before the season, Hamilton said in an interview that he didn't feel like he owed the Rangers anything, words that irritated Texas general manager Jon Daniels. Daniels also claimed that at the Winter Meetings, the Rangers and Hamilton had talked about a "concept" for a contract, with nothing actually offered. At the end of the day, if Hamilton's claims that he never even got an actual offer from the Rangers is true, Daniels and his staff have egg on their faces. You can't expect the best hitter on the free agent market to sit around and wait for you to make an offer if another team is jumping in on the act. It just doesn't work that way anymore. [follow]

About GPS Cycle Computers
GPS receivers are now made waterproof, lightweight and small enough to fit on a bike easily. There are 2 basic choices to take on your bike: a GPS unit designed primarily for navigation with a dedicated bike mount, particularly suitable for cycle touring and finding your way in unfamiliar territory, like the Garmin eTrex Vista Cx; or a dedicated bike computer that uses GPS to track your training routes and provide detailed analysis of your workout like the Edge 305, with more limited navigation capabilities. Most units come with only very basic maps installed and you may need to purchase more detailed maps for your area to be loaded onto the unit for navigation.
All electrical goods sold on wiggle that come with a mains power supply are supplied with a UK plug. Please check the product description to see if any other plugs are known to be included in the box, otherwise you may need an adapter for use in your country. Most power adapters will accept 110-240 Volts.
About the TomTom brand
Founded in 1991, TomTom (TOM2) is a leading provider of navigation and location-based products and services.

More Leadership Needed on Global Mercury Debate, Says Global Mercury Coalition
CHIBA, Japan, Jan. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Delegates from more than 120 countries met this week to continue constructing a legally-binding global mercury treaty, expected to be signed in Minamata, Japan in 2013. While many important issues were discussed, public interest NGOs urged delegates to be more ambitious when setting the mercury treaty's scope and goals.
"Governments need to step up and take more leadership in this debate," stated Linda E. Greer, Ph.D., of the Natural Resources Defense Council and Zero Mercury Working Group. "Mercury is a problem within our grasp to solve, but it will take political will and focus to resolve it."
The Minamata tragedy provided a centerpiece and inspiration for discussion.
Minamata victim Shinobu Sakamoto testified in the plenary session and presented a statement from 13 Minamata victims and supporter groups directly to the Vice Minister of the Japanese Ministry of Environment. They urged delegates to develop a strong treaty that would prevent future Minamata catastrophes, and to justly address the continuing effects of the Minamata disaster, still unresolved after over 50 years.
The Japanese government also received criticism from NGOs for its continued export of tons of toxic mercury, especially to developing countries.
"Japan knows more than any country in the world the terrible cost to life and the environment that mercury causes because of Minamata," stated Richard Gutierrez, of Ban Toxics from the Philippines. "Only a ban of Japanese mercury export can begin to give honor to Minamata's legacy."
Measures to reduce the global supply of commodity mercury, to reduce mercury use in industry and to restrict trade were debated. Delegates also discussed requirements to control mercury emissions from major sources such as coal fired power plants and metal smelters and to address existing contaminated sites. Although delegates generally agreed that the proposed basic framework for the reductions of mercury pollution was adequate, many substantive issues remain to be resolved to ensure that health and environmental resources are protected worldwide.
NGOs spoke out on many occasions during the session, with recommendations for strengthening provisions, including: expanding the list of mercury-based products and processes to be regulated under the treaty, providing explicit time lines for phase outs, and strengthening provisions that address artisanal and small-scale gold mining, the largest single use of mercury in the world, among many others.
Several manufacturing processes using mercury completely escaped notice in the working draft, such as polyurethanes and sodium methylate. "Since there are well-developed, high-volume non-mercury alternatives available to produce these materials, the mercury-based processes should be phased out," said Rachel Kamande of the European Environmental Bureau and ZMWG.
The Zero Mercury Working Group (www.zeromercury.org) is an international coalition of more than 93 public interest environmental and health non-governmental organizations from 45 countries from formed in 2005 by the European Environmental Bureau and the Mercury Policy Project to promote solutions to the global mercury crisis..

"I really enjoy the exercises in the book. Using real-life data in the exercises...gives me opportunities to talk about difficulties in using real data, and helps the students see that there is a difference between understanding calculus and being able to apply it to real models."

A Rare Disney Sequel
My mom bought me this movie and I absolutely love it. It's that rare Disney sequel that's as good as the original. It even makes up the original movie's one flaw -Phil Collin's sappy songs - by replacing it with heartwarming music by Josh Kelley and Melissa Etheridge. The "Brother Bear" series wisely keeps its breathtaking animation, creative storytelling, magic, excitement, and emotion. I really loved the whole Kenai/Nita relationship. It's like "Beauty and the Beast" for a new generation. "Brother Bear 2" also has messages of courage, sacrifices, true love, and following your heart. So if you love animated movies filled romance, beauty, and happy endings, I totally recommend this movie to you.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Knowledge Management and Knowledge-Based Organizations.
EDITORS: Jatinder N.D. Gupta, Sushil K. Sharma
PUBLISHER: Idea Group
LENGTH: 373 pages
SOURCE: www.idea-group.com
Knowledge management (KM) was once on the lips of technology vendors and on the minds of information professionals. It ceded its headline status to compliance some time ago but, like compliance, it represents a set of issues that will remain important to information management professionals for the long term. Academic research continues to explore KM and produce insights and tools that will be of great value to information professionals. A new book, Creating Knowledge Based Organizations, edited by Jatinder Gupta and Sushil Sharma, is an example of such research.
The objective of the book is to provide a theoretical foundation for the creation of knowledge-based organizations. Despite the active verb in the title, the book is not a how-to guide for building such organizations--or even a blueprint. Rather, it is more like an attempt to convey the basic architectural principles that would go into the construction of knowledge-based organizations.
While the core topic of the book is KM as it is generally understood, the focus on knowledge-based organizations extends its scope to include anything that contributes to the intelligence of an organization, including, for example, organizational learning and e-commerce. The authors are mainly academicians with specialties in the area of computer information systems. The audience for which the book is best suited would similarly be information system professionals, though many essays will be of interest to information professionals in general. The essays have extensive bibliographies, and there is an index at the end of the book.
The work is divided into five sections: Section I, "Knowledge Based Organizations"; Section II, "Evolving Electronic Markets"; Section III, "Knowledge Management"; Section IV, "Learning Organizations"; and Section V, "Future Organizations." Each section is comprised of essays written by different authors, often groups of authors. The breadth of topics covered is wide; however, their relevance to the broader audience of information professionals varies.
Sections I and III form the core material on KM. They should be interesting and useful to records professionals attempting to apply and extend their competencies into the KM domain. Section II focuses on system architectures and models for electronic commerce. There is also an essay on application service provider (ASP) business models. The value and relevance of these papers to records professionals is questionable.
Sections IV and V fall somewhere in the middle on the relevance continuum. Though promising as topics, the papers tend to be too narrow and speculative to shed much light on issues in records and information management (RIM).
The two sections explicitly on KM include some fine contributions. The introductory chapter, "An Overview of Knowledge Management," describes the history of the field and provides a number of tables and graphs that depict key aspects of KM, including processes and components. For example, one table lists core disciplines and technologies. Strangely, records management is omitted, but library science does make it on the list. The second paper in the section, "Information Technology Assessment for Knowledge Management," will also be of great help to RIM professionals. The author uses tables and flow charts to layout a technology model for KM similar to the Open System Interconnect (OSI) model familiar to students of network architectures. The different levels in the model are well explained. The description of the knowledge repository level, situated in the middle, will be of particular interest to RIM professionals as it is there that their expertise will be directly applicable.
Turning to Section III, "Knowledge Management," RIM professionals will find one essay of particular relevance in Mark Nissen's contribution, "Inducing Enterprise Knowledge Flows." At the heart of the paper is a framework for describing knowledge flows in an enterprise along the dimensions of explicitness and reach. Using a three dimensional line graph, Nissen shows how particular knowledge flows, actual and ideal, can be represented across different departments in an organization. Other essays in the section discuss system design methodologies and practices.
An unfortunate problem with the book is that a number of contributions are so plagued by poor writing mechanics and inadequate proof reading that they are almost unreadable. For example, one paper that is otherwise well written references a standard definition of knowledge as "just true belief" when the definition is "justified true belief." Because the point of the definition is to distinguish mere belief from knowledge, the mistake lends itself to confusion. Other papers garble key points repeatedly.
There are enough good papers in this collection, though, that a close reading will be rewarded, but readers should expect an uneven ride.
