What is the best education for exceptionally able and high-achieving youngsters? Can the United States strengthen its future intellectual leadership, economic vitality, and scientific prowess without sacrificing equal opportunity? There are no easy answers but, as Chester Finn and Jessica Hockett show, for more than 100,000 students each year, the solution is to enroll in an academically selective public high school. Exam Schools is the first-ever close-up look at this small, sometimes controversial, yet crucial segment of American public education. This groundbreaking book discusses how these schools work--and their critical role in nurturing the country's brightest students.
The 165 schools identified by Finn and Hockett are located in thirty states, plus the District of Columbia. While some are world renowned, such as Boston Latin and Bronx Science, others are known only in their own communities. The authors survey the schools on issues ranging from admissions and student diversity to teacher selection. They probe sources of political support, curriculum, instructional styles, educational effectiveness, and institutional autonomy. Some of their findings are surprising: Los Angeles, for example, has no "exam schools" while New York City has dozens. Asian-American students are overrepresented--but so are African-American pupils. Culminating with in-depth profiles of eleven exam schools and thoughtful reflection on policy implications, Finn and Hockett ultimately consider whether the country would be better off with more such schools.
At a time of keen attention to the faltering education system, Exam Schools sheds positive light on a group of schools that could well provide a transformative roadmap for many of America's children.

... waterfall you will ever see but a pretty setting with some interesting art installations in the trees. Then it was into our first real hill of the day as we headed up the Kings Pass into the mountains proper. All super pretty, with all the colours just starting to change for Autumn. We were at the back of the bus so it was up down up down with plenty of stops but it was good for photos and we got a good variety of what the Scottish countryside was like.

Aberfoyle and surrounds
... through the Trossach National Park, past several lochs to Callander and thence to Aberfoyle.
As I had predicted it was a rainy, overcast day. Fortunately the rain was light and sporadic and didn't interfere with the pleasure we experienced in the beautiful forest and lake scenery. It was autumn and the trees were dressed in various shades of green, red and brown. The grass in the fields was, as everywhere else, a brilliant ...

The OutField: Gay Games 9 builds on the past
By Dan Woog
Originally printed 5/1/2014 (Issue 2218 - Between The Lines News)
The past year marked a watershed for LGBT sports. Athletes at every level - professional, college, high school and amateur - at first ventured, then flooded out of the closet. Media attention no longer treats gay athletes as exotic creatures, all but unheard of in the real world; stories now focus on more nuanced aspects of their lives. Homophobes are increasingly marginalized, banished from the sidelines to the back row of the bleachers.
In some ways (though we're still waiting for that first huge-name pro male team-sport athlete to come out), LGBT athletics has reached the point we've long waited for: normalcy.
So does that mean there's no longer any need for the Gay Games?
Thousands of athletes, a hefty lineup of corporate sponsors, and hundreds of paid and volunteer organizers beg to differ.
Gay Games 9 - the next edition of the event first held 32 years ago in San Francisco - is set for Aug. 9-16 in Cleveland and Akron, Ohio. Patterned on the Olympic Games (but denied use of the "O" word by a legal challenge), the Gay Games are now an international spectacle.
Unlike the Olympics, anyone can participate. The Gay Games are open to all athletes 18 or older, "regardless of sexual orientation, race, gender, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, political beliefs, athletic or artistic ability, age, physical challenge or health status."
Realistically, of course, an event called "The Gay Games" draws competitors mostly from the LGBT community. Typically, about 10 percent are non-LGBT (most often, friends and family who participate to show support).
And, says Gay Games 9 marketing manager Matt Cordish, despite the increasing visibility, acceptance, even celebration of LGBT athletes in mainstream athletics, there remains a need for an event that is way gay.
"There are still people around the world who are ridiculed or hated for who they are," says Cordish. "In the Gay Games, there is no judgment. This is an eye-opening opportunity for people who don't have that acceptance or lack of judgment in the rest of their lives. We're getting near the point when gay sports is a non-story. But there are still parts of the world where you can be punished, or even executed, for being gay."
Cordish - who played soccer, lacrosse and baseball as a youth, and whose main sport is now ice hockey - spends a great deal of time on the road. Part of his job involves spreading the word about the Gay Games, urging individuals and teams to register. He hears stories every day about the power of athletics to change LGBT lives.
"One man told me how hard his life was growing up," Cordish says. "He's HIV-positive. But he got involved with sports, and he's doing well. This is his reason to keep going."
As in previous Gay Games, some participants this year are not out at all at home. Traveling to Cleveland, and taking part in this event, marks an enormous step for them.
Cordish acknowledges the strides made in recent years. Gay Games 9 will draw upon the visibility of newly out athletes, empowering those who are not yet out, while providing one more opportunity to show the general public that LGBT people are indeed everywhere. And, Cordish adds, "We do need an event that showcases the ideal that Gay Games founder Tom Waddell worked so hard to create: an environment free of judgment, where all athletes can perform their best."
Those performances will take place in a broad array of sports: softball, track and field, soccer, swimming, rodeo, bowling, volleyball, rowing, even darts. Up to 9,000 participants are expected from around the world. Those numbers are on par with the number of athletes in the Summer Olympics. Like the Olympics, there are opening and closing ceremonies, a "Festival Village," and plenty of parties. Plus, of course, corporate sponsors: Wells Fargo, United Airlines, KeyBank and more.
Unlike the Olympics, there are also "cultural" competitions, in band and chorus.
Organizers expect 20,000 additional guests, performers, spectators and volunteers.
Regular Gay Games-goers may find a different environment than they're used to. Cleveland and Akron are not exactly San Francisco - where the first two Games were held - nor are they Vancouver, New York City, Amsterdam, Sydney, Chicago or Cologne, the hosts of following events.
"There's a thriving gay community in northeast Ohio," Cordish says. "There's no one defined area, like West Hollywood, the Castro or Boys Town. But we can go anywhere, and be ourselves."
And the region has something few other Gay Games venues can boast: a PGA Tour stop. That's Firestone Country Club, site of the golf competition.
Registrations are still being accepted for Gay Games 9. Go to http://gg2014.sportingpulse.com; enter "GoAllOut" where prompted, for $30 off the general registration price. Spectator packages are available too.Dan Woog is a journalist, educator, soccer coach and gay activist. His latest book is "We Kick Balls: True Stories from the Youth Soccer Wars."

My process begins with finding abandoned, broken guitars. You'd think that would be easy but it took me six months of trolling Craigslist and thrift stores as I don't want to destroy any working guitars. So, I bought dead guitars from the Salvation Army, a yoga studio– and the coolest was a guy who knew a dumpster diver who came up with two! Finallly I smartened up and went to a manufacturer and a guitar repairman. Both my house and studio are now full of old, un-functioning guitars in various forms of disrepair.
Then I begin to sketch out my plan for a particular piece. Once I have a sketch I then remove all of the hardware. Then I strip the varnish off. Disgusting and smelly! One of the toughest things to do is saw the neck. Who knew that most guitar necks have a solid steel bar running through them? My husband gets to do that part.
Once the guitar is cut into the right pieces I lay it out to match my sketch. Then I glue, screw, molly bolt it into place onto the wood backing. After that, once it's new form has taken place I use plaster to fill in the gaps. Then I add black primer mixed with plaster to fill in certain areas. Then plaster the cracks. And only then can I start painting.
Now the art in it's newly assembled form is ready to paint. This is when I explore the soul of this "broken lady"; to give her a new life in a different form. Every guitar has its own history and my goal is to deconstruct its past and then give it a new life that still reflects its true character. Lately I have branched out into resins. Very smmelly and messy to produce. But the end result on the Nude woman is very sexy high gloss.
This particular piece is "Juke Joint Blues"
And now the art for the 2013 Blues foundation Award Poster
The originals are now shown in at Vintage 329 gallery.

Digital Marketing Agency Achieves Success with Social Media Campaign in Las Vegas
Leading Social Media Agency Ingenex Digital Marketing was able to boost the profile of OSRAM Opto Semiconductors´ presentation at the 2012 LIGHTFAIR International by creating an engaging character for web audiences to interact with. @LisaAtLightfair encouraged positive conversation with LIGHTFAIR attendees.
Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) July 20, 2012
When Social Media Agency Ingenex wanted to boost the presence of their client OSRAM Opto Semiconductors at LIGHTFAIR International, they created Lisa At Lightfair, a personable character for audiences to interact with online. LIGHTFAIR International is one of the lighting industry´s most important annual trade shows, and OSRAM Opto Semiconductors wanted to engage customers and create buzz around their products.
Lisa At Lightfair dominated social media, earned a top SEO ranking, and generated high levels of traffic for the OSRAM booth.
Ingenex created the @LisaAtLightfair Twitter account to promote the contortionist's performances at the OSRAM booth and as the primary means of interacting with web audiences. Tweets started five weeks before LIGHTFAIR, and aimed to build audience anticipation for the performances promoting the OLSON Square. The tweets continued throughout LIGHTFAIR, promoting not only Lisa´s contortionist act but also OSRAM Opto Semiconductors´ product and different events at the fair. Creating connections through @replies to other Twitter users at LIGHTFAIR raised the profile of @LisaAtLightfair and created buzz around her performances.
"Our approach to generating more traffic for OSRAM was simple: engage the audience," Ingenex CEO Derek Mehraban said. "Lisa´s performances are an amazing spectacle, but her audience engagement through Twitter and other social media were what really made a splash at LIGHTFAIR."
The @LisaAtLightfair Twitter account was also highly integrated with Instagram, Foursquare and Storify. Lisa shared photos from Instagram, and used Foursquare to connect with the web audience based on location, all while creating a compelling narrative of her adventures using Storify.
"Booth traffic was up, and social engagement for LIGHTFAIR 2012 was driven by the phenomenal @LisaAtLightfair efforts via Twitter, Foursquare, Storify, and Instagram delivered by the Ingenex Digital team," OSRAM Opto Semiconductor´s Marketing Communications Manager Kate Cleveland said. "The Lisa At Lightfair campaign enhanced our presence at LIGHTFAIR 2012, thanks to the great support from our digital marketing agency and the social media experts at Ingenex Digital."

Past Cavalcades

- Part 1. The Syracuse Miss,
Texas A&M, & More
Pete FiutakFollow us ...
The C.O.W. airing of the grievances followed by the feats of strength
The ten big storylines going forward that have nothing to do with expansion, realignment, the NCAA, the Heisman, a playoff system, or whether or not Boise State deserves to play in the BCS Championship.
10. The buildup to Oregon at Stanford on November 12th and Notre Dame at Stanford on November 26th
Stanford isn't going to lose at home against UCLA this week. It's not going to lose to Colorado or Washington, and it's not going to lose on the road to Washington State or Oregon State. Many will think the October 29th game against USC will be a fight, and it will be for about three quarters, but Washington will end up being the toughest test until Oregon comes down the road to Palo Alto in mid-November.
Oregon isn't going to lose to Cal. It's not going to lose to Arizona State or Washington State, and it's not going to lose on the road to Colorado or Washington. The Ducks will struggle a bit against the Huskies on the road, but they'll win every game by double digits to set the stage for one of the biggest games in Pac-8/Pac-10/Pac-12 history. If Stanford can survive Oregon, and can get by The Big Game against Cal, then comes the Heisman Maker, Notre Dame, with Andrew Luck getting a shot at securing the award against an Irish team that'll come in 9-2 with a BCS shot on the line.
9. The job openings
UCLA is going to squeak by with six wins, but it's going to take an upset or two to do it and it's going to be close. Whether or not the Bruins go to a bowl, a loss at USC to close out the regular season will be the straw that breaks the Rick Neuheisel tenure's back. UCLA will be seen by several top coaching prospects as a sleeping giant waiting to explode, and the program will go big time, really big time, to turn things around.
Arizona will be looking for a new head coach – 6-6 won't get it done for Mike Stoops. Georgia will lose at Tennessee, to Florida, and at Georgia Tech, and while Mark Richt will be done, he'll quickly find a good job somewhere. Ole Miss will certainly be in the market, and it's a coin flip on whether or not Texas A&M will go into the SEC with Mike Sherman as the head coach after likely losing at least three of the five games against Arkansas, at Texas Tech, Missouri, at Oklahoma, and Texas. But the real intrigue could be at Ohio State and Penn State. If the Buckeyes really do struggle – more on that in a moment – Luke Fickell might not be given much of a chance to show what he can do considering there's a big whale floating around the coaching world. Meanwhile, Joe Paterno while might not want to give up his day job quite yet, he might have to finally make a move if he really wants to win …
8. The Urban Meyer sweepstakes
The rumors are running rampant, and Meyer's deadpan style isn't doing anything to turn down the flames.
There's the Internet gossip that Meyer is buying a house in Columbus. There's the inside word that Joe Paterno loves Meyer and sees him as the worthy successor to the throne. Either way, it's appearing more and more obvious that 1) Meyer is itching to get back in the game, 2) Penn State and Ohio State are the only two mega-programs with a possible job opening big enough for one of the best coaches in all of football, and 3) the timetable is about to speed up.
No matter what happens this year, it won't be fair to Luke Fickell is he's not the head coach at Ohio State next season. He inherited a sinking ship with several holes needing to be plugged up, and he'll get the time and the chances to make the program his as long as Meyer isn't lurking. The NCAA doesn't appear likely to drop a USC-like hammer on Ohio State, but Meyer isn't going to make any sort of a move whatsoever until the fallout from the past 12 months is complete.
Meyer, an Ohio native, has stated that Ohio State is one of his dream jobs, but Penn State could be the better fit, and Paterno knows it. There aren't any skeletons lurking in any closets, and even though Penn State will always be Paterno's program, following his act will actually be easier than trying to duplicate the success Ohio State had under Jim Tressel.
If Meyer really does return to coaching, and if he really does come to the Big Ten, it could be a bigger storyline than Nebraska joining the league this year.
7. Mike Leach vs. Rich Rodriguez
Who wants the rehab project? There's no question that Leach and Rodriguez can produce, and there's no question that they'll provide an instant shot in the offensive arm for any program take over. The concern is the toxic time; are they ready to get back into the spotlight?
Will Leach and/or RichRod be willing to take a stepping-stone job like New Mexico to get back in everyone's good graces, or do they need something a little bit bigger? Is it better to take on a non-BCS program with promise, or a lower-level BCS program that isn't going to topple the big boys on a regular basis?
Leach appears to be readier to jump back into the fun, but with him comes all the baggage and all drama and all the ego. He's worth it.
Rodriguez might have failed to live up to expectations at Michigan, but his offense worked. Give him a fast quarterback, a faster running back, and bunch of smart offensive linemen with good quickness and an attitude and his teams will be among the best in the nation running the ball.
Neither one will get a top job quite yet, but their names will be in the mix for every mid-level opening over the next several months.
6. The battle for First Team All-America Wide Receiver honors
Last year was relatively obvious. Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma's Ryan Broyles, and South Carolina's Alshon Jeffery were the best receivers in America, with Blackmon and Broyles everyone's All-Americans. This year, they have competition.
Jeffery has been a puzzling no-show so far this season, but at least five other receivers can throw their hats into the All-America ring to battle with Blackmon and Broyles for post-season honors. After the first month of the year, these five can claim they're having as good or better seasons than the Big 12 superstars.
Clemson star freshman Sammy Watkins has been a do-it-all playmaker in big-time games, currently tied for the nation's lead in touchdown receptions with six. Baylor's Kendall Wright is putting up huge numbers on the other end of Robert Griffin's passes; Notre Dame's Michael Floyd is coming up with a phenomenal year on the biggest of stages week after week; USC's Robert Woods has 41 catches in four games; and Mohamed Sanu of Rutgers leads the nation with 12 catches a game. 11 receivers already have 30 catches or more, and seven receivers are averaging 9.5 catches a game or more. Broyles led the nation last season averaging 9.36 yards per game. This makes the pass-happy NFL ecstatic, especially because …
5. THIS is the quarterback class everyone wanted last year
Cam Newton is a keeper, but he was hardly a sure thing coming out early last year. There were questions about Blaine Gabbert and whether or not he could adapt to the pro game, and Jake Locker and Christian Ponder were taken way, way, way too early considering their negatives. Meanwhile, Andy Dalton is being thrown into the fire at Cincinnati, and Colin Kaepernick is waiting his turn at San Francisco. Newton and Gabbert would be first rounders in any year, but Locker, Dalton, and Ponder would've gone tumbling down the draft if they were in the 2012 class.
Just as interesting as the hunt for the Super Bowl is the race to the bottom of the NFL standings to see who gets the architect of a franchise, Andrew Luck. However, USC's Matt Barkley and Oklahoma's Landry Jones are legitimate top five overall picks, at worst top ten, while Michigan State's Kirk Cousins, Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill, and Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden are all top 50 picks who are better prospects than Dalton and Ponder. The quarterback midsection in the 2012 class might be among the best in years with Arizona's Nick Foles, Houston's Case Keenum, Boise State's Kellen Moore, San Diego State's Ryan Lindley, Baylor's Robert Griffin, Wisconsin's Russell Wilson, and Arizona State's Brock Osweiler all keepers who'll be a backup on someone's roster for a long, long time.
4. Is Temple for real?
Temple's 14-10 loss to Penn State was a flat out choke. It might be unfair and it might seem harsh, but that's what it was, and the Owls acted like it last week by taking it out on Maryland in a 35-7 blowout. Temple didn't just have a good day against the Terps; it looked like it belonged among the big boys with speed, physical play, and the quickness to run with an ultra-athletic ACC team. Now it's on to the MAC, and while Ohio is strong, Ball State is off to a hot start, and Toledo is good, there's no one left on the schedule good enough to come within two touchdowns of the Owls. Temple went 1-11 in 2006 and it's very, very possible it could go 11-1 just five years later. Al Golden might have set the wheels in motion, but new head coach Steve Addazio is making everything work with the nation's No. 1 scoring defense – remember, Penn State and Maryland are on the slate – and 22nd ranked rushing attack. But Temple does have the loss to the Nittany Lions as an anchor …
3. Could Houston belong in the discussion for an at-large BCS bid?
UCF and Southern Miss are two of Conference USA's best teams, but they're in the East and they're not on Houston's schedule. The Cougars will likely have to face either the Knights or the Golden Eagles if they run the table, and it'll take a special kind of an upset to avoid 12-0.
UTEP, Marshall, Rice, UAB, and Tulane don't have enough in the bag to keep up with the nation's No. 1 passing game, and East Carolina and Tulsa haven't shown the pop yet to outbomb Case Keenum and the high-flying attack. However, it took a comeback to win at Louisiana Tech, and SMU, ECU, Tulsa, and Marshall are all just good enough to beat the Cougars on the right day. If all works out according to plan, Houston could be just high enough in the rankings to potentially be the first Conference USA team to crack the BCS.
2. Just how bad is Miami?
If it's not time to panic, but it is time to be worried. The Canes lost to a Maryland team that just got obliterated by Temple, the Ohio State win really might not have been that big a deal, and losing to Kansas State at home is a killer. For all the excitement over what Miami might do this year in an us-against-the-world campaign, the production isn't there so far. Granted, the Canes are a heartbeat away from being 3-0 instead of 1-2, but the run defense has been awful, the turnovers won't stop flowing, and the defensive front is having problems. After blowing away Bethune-Cookman this week, things get really ugly, really fast, with road trips to Virginia Tech and North Carolina followed up by a home date against a Georgia Tech team that's running better than anyone in America. Home games against Virginia, Duke, and Boston College will help, but it could take an upset on the road at Florida State and/or South Florida just to get to six wins. But at least Al Golden came up with a win over …
1. Ohio State
Several key players will return from suspension, and once and a while the Buckeyes will look like the Buckeyes as they show they still have more talent than anyone in the Big Ten, but they'll need to get hot in a hurry over the final month of the season. A loss to Michigan State this weekend would be disastrous, with at Nebraska, at Illinois, and Wisconsin to follow and all three likely to be favorites. Considering how mediocre the offense has been and how off the defense has been from past years, it'll take a lot of work to be better than 5-3 going into November, 4-4 is more likely, and 3-5 wouldn't be shocking. Fortunately, Indiana, Purdue, and Penn State will be wins to calm everyone down, and then the heat will be on the Luke Fickell era if there's a loss at Michigan to close out the program's worst regular season since going 7-5 in 2001.
Random Acts of Nutty … Provocative musings and tidbits to make every woman want you and every man want to be you (or vice versa) a.k.a. things I didn't feel like writing bigger blurbs for.
- Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin is the hottest player in college football, but he's getting a lot of help. Senior receiver Kendall Wright has been unstoppable, catching 12 passes for 189 yards and two scores against TCU, eight passes for 123 yards and a score against Stephen F. Austin, and making 11 catches for 108 yards and a touchdown against Rice.
- Clemson might be fantastic right now, but Florida State still has the inside track to the Atlantic title even with last week's loss in Death Valley. The Tigers have to go on the road to face Virginia Tech, Maryland, and Georgia Tech, and get North Carolina and a suddenly-pesky Wake Forest at home, while the Noles' remaining road games are at Wake Forest, Duke, and Boston College – all likely wins. Miami and Maryland are the only two teams left on the ACC schedule with a shot at making it close.
- Speaking of nasty schedules, Auburn is really paying the piper for several breaks in last year's slate playing at South Carolina, at Arkansas, Florida, and at LSU – and that's just the next four weeks. With a road trip to Georgia and a date with Alabama still looming, and with the way the Tiger D is playing, 6-6 might be a successful season.

A minor boy allegedly killed three persons, including a brick kiln owner, using an axe and seriously injured another in Odisha's Keonjhar district, police said today.
The incident took place late last night at Kaliahata village of the district, when the accused Bamia Munda (16) allegedly attacked the four persons with an axe in their deep sleep, police said.
While the brick kiln owner, Dukhabandhu Palei (70), Srikanta Moharana (14) and Ratnakar Munda (45) died on the spot, Buddhu Munda was admitted at the Telkoi hospital for treatment in a critical condition, they said.
Though the exact reason behind the ghastly crime was not immediately known, previous enmity was stated to be the cause of the murders, they said.
Police further said that the accused, who was appearing for the just concluded matriculation examination, was stated to have picked up a quarrel with the brick kiln owner over some issue recently.
After committing the crime, Bamia fled from the scene, police said, adding that a manhunt has been launched to nab him.

Telemedicine is technologically ready to meet the growing demand for access to health services in developing nations and remote areas around the world, say experts from IEEE (New York), a non-profit professional technical association. However, widespread use of telemedicine will require greater collaboration between technologists and clinicians according to the association.
The M2M Summit is an annual event oriented by the M2M Alliance Association , which provides information on the latest trends and developments within the M2M industry.

A fast-growing number of software applications offer doctors the chance to view X-rays or monitor heart rates from iPads or smartphones, prompting U.S. health officials on Tuesday to propose government oversight for some of the more complex health applications.
A portion of the apps perform tasks that mimic the work of medical devices and could cause harm if they failed to perform as promised, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials said.
Last week the American Telemedicine Association (ATA) submitted a letter to Julius Genachowski, chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), regarding the "poor administration of the Rural Healthcare program."
The Rural Health Care Program is designed to provide discounts to eligible rural healthcare providers for telecommunication services and monthly internet service charges. It also aims to deploy telehealth services where immediate health services are not readily available.
The Western Australia government last week announced it will spend $36.5 million on telehealth services in six country hospitals located in inland Western Australia.
The initiative, funded under the Liberal-National Government's Royalties for Regions Program, is the centerpiece of the State Government's spending on health in the 2011-2012 State Budget and aims to reform and improve access to healthcare, according to a government statement.
NASA last Friday announced an experiment titled "Advanced Diagnositic Ultrasound in Microgravity," which involves crewmembers onboard a space shuttle conducting ultrasound exams on one another as they are instructed from a radiologist on the ground.
According to the announcement, "Crews traveling beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO) need the telemedicine strategies this experiment investigates, should injury or illness occur in space. There are also widespread Earth applications for emergencies and rural care situations."
A team of neonatologists at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles have published a research paper indicating that the use of a remote-controlled, robotic telemedicine system in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is feasible and safe.
This study conducted considered 304 patient encounters on 46 premature and full-term newborns in a level IIIa NICU, the unit caring for the most critically ill infants. During each patient encounter, the infant was evaluated by both an onsite and an off-site neonatologist.
On Tuesday it was announced that the New Zealand Telehealth Forum has been established to promote the use of telehealth in healthcare delivery and is timed to maximize the benefits of the Government's broadband program.
The National Health IT Board has funded the establishment of the Forum. Members of board include practicing clinicians, senior DHB managers, researchers and consumer representatives. The CEOs of the Health IT Cluster and TUANZ (representing health ICT suppliers and telecommunications users) are also on the Forum Board.

The X-Files is famous for keeping its own secrets under wraps, let alone the government's, but did you know creator Chris Carter first dreamed up Mulder and Scully after learning over three million Americans claim to have been abducted by aliens?

Giving the little yellow sidekicks from the Despicable Me films was inevitable, but at least Minions looks fun.

Here's something we're unaccustomed to hearing: Tiger Woods did something that may make you cheer him.
It's been almost 30 years since the last Mad Max movie (Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome) hit theaters in 1985, and almost ever since then director George Miller has been working on a sequel. That sequel, Mad Max: Fury Road, has been in the works for over 25 years and started filming over three years ago. In the latest episode of You Think You Know Movies, we take a look at Fury Road. It's time to remember The Road Warrior. The man we called "Max"…

"This is a movie that strains at the leash of the possible, a movie of great visionary wonders." That lovely sentence concluded Roger Ebert's 1985 review of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Thirty years later, Mad Max is finally back in a new sequel, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Ebert's words feel truer than ever. Fury Road is an incredible achievement, one that strains so hard at the leash of the possible that it eventually breaks free and barrels headlong into the realm of insane genius. Forget Max Rockatansky; director George Miller, the guy who co-conceived and shot this gorgeous, glorious lunacy, is the true madman here. And the true hero for having pulled it off.

How to manage your holiday spending
To get your business, nearly 80 percent of e-tailers are expected to offer some form of free shipping this holiday season, according to Jason Cochran, editor of AOL's walletpop.com.
Many e-tailers also allow you to purchase online and then pick up your merchandise at the store, often at express pickup windows or kiosks.
Do some homework online or in stores and know what's really a bargain price, said Daugherty of Consumer Reports.
"Even if they say it's on sale it may not be a good price. It's easy to get caught up in all the excitement of holiday sales and shopping," he said.
Use your bargaining power
"Don't be afraid to haggle. More often than not, if you try to bargain for something, you will get a better deal," Daugherty said.
On some things, the profit margin may be so slim that a lower price isn't possible. However, the store may be able to do other things for you to offset the price such, as free delivery or installation or discounted accessories.
Also ask the manager if the store would be willing to match the lower online price.
Take charge of credit cards
"It's fine if people want to shop using their credit cards, as long as they can pay it off when the bill comes," Weston said. "If you're already carrying credit card debt, then only spend what you have cash to cover."
Opt for paying with cash when you can. Although using a debit card can impose more restraints than credit cards because you're using money from your own account, Daugherty warns that debit cards don't offer the consumer protection of credit cards.
According to a Consumer Reports survey, in 2009 Americans who paid with credit cards charged on average $180 more than they anticipated. Consumers also tend to carry over that debt. Consumer Reports holiday shopping poll revealed some 13.6 million Americans remain saddled with last year's leftover holiday debt.
Use only one credit card. If you plan to carry over a credit card balance, be sure to use a major card with a low interest rate instead of a high-rate department store card. Try to pay off the purchase within 90 days.
Subsidize holiday spending
If you know you can't significantly trim your holiday spending, then subsidize it from other areas of your life.
"Can you spend less on your phone plans? Can you cut your overall grocery budget? Reduce your entertainment spending and have fewer dinners out. Move the numbers around a bit to (allow for) more money at the holidays," said SDSU's Doran.
Plan for next year
Starting in January, put away some money out of every paycheck for the holidays. Divide the amount you spent on the holidays this year by 12 and save that much every month so you'll have enough for next year without having to fall back on credit cards.
Weston urges consumers to check out targeted sub-accounts, often called "Christmas clubs," at banks and credit unions that allow you to set aside some money out of each check. Look for accounts that do not charge fees or require a minimum balance.
Consider layaway
Designed for people who want to buy merchandise — especially when it's on sale — without using credit or paying the full price immediately, you typically make a deposit and pay over time until you've paid for the item in full. In exchange, the retailer holds the merchandise for you.
Take advantage of sales all year long, including this year's after-holiday sales, for next year's holiday gifts.

Is It Right For A Parent To Go Snooping Into A Child's Room Then Embarrass Their Child By Asking A Question Over The Web
Hey any snooping parent is good-keeps kids from shooting up schools.
If children finds out that their parents are snooping around their room, they will have no respect for them. Children are entitled to their own privacy too.
Everyone is entitled to respect but if a child refuses to let their parents into their life then the parents must do whatever is necessary to make sure the child is safe.
First, it isn't snooping it is your parents' house. Second, whatever they found you probably shouldn't have had or they wouldn't have felt the need to talk to other parents about it. Third, I as a parent would have just talked to you about it, but that is me. Fourth #thisisnttwitter.
It wasn't hate. You asked a question. I gave you an answer. I'm very sorry you didn't like it. If you only wanted opinions matching your own you might not want to post in an open forum. I took a view based on the information you gave. In looking I was not the only one with the same thoughts.
You didn't like my fourth. You'll be ok. Promise.
Quite possibly that is the way I speak. Or write. But, you have me all figured out. And you know all of my intentions. Not everyone is against you. Trust me. I was just giving you my opinion. I didn't have a thought one way or another about you until your first reply. I just figured..kid with a question..let's tell him how I feel about it, end of story. No need for the chip.
Thank you very much. I sincerely hope we all answered your question. Not all of us are going to sugar coat things, but we aren't nasty either. ;)
keep your own comments to your self if your going to be like that!!!!!!!
A kid that doesn't understand a mature conversation, perhaps? At least you, porcupine got the point. Happy New year..by the way!
I have no clue..it just popped up! Lol Thanks!
The should have discussed it with you in the house , they should be respectful of you and also your privacy
Should have been kept inside the home, hope you haven't done anything to deserve it.
Not enough info to make an opinion.
It's their house so they can snoop but asking online isn't right ): It happens to me
It's fine.. I don't do bad things (:

Thread: do women like jasmine scents?
this is a question for the ladies, I am wondering if jasmine based scents are fashionable right now? do women still like them?
Please, spritz responsibly.
Oh, yes!
Everything passes. Everything changes. Just do what you think you should do.
--Bob Dylan
Scent is such a lovely, simple pleasure!
Yes, indeed!
excellent, im formulating one right now
Oh Yes!
Of the ten fragances in my collection, six are containing Jasmine.
Faves right now: Chanel No 19, Stella Rose Absolute, L´Heure Bleu, Elixir de Merveilles, Samsara.
Ya, I'd have to say that jasmine is hot at the moment. A La Nuit by Serge Lutens is a nice jasmine-y scent if you're interested in suggestions. As a girl, I can say that it's one I'd certainly notice.
Uh, no, not me. I'm sorry but I can't do scents where jasmine is prominent. But then, I'm just one out of seven!

It's a favorite of mine! *There are different kinds of jasmine: "Jasminun grandiflorum", *"Jasminun officianalis sambac" & "Jasminun auriculatus"*, just to name a few.
Here is some additional info from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasmine
*Latin names were provided by Nature's Gift. *Thank you!
Victoria's blog Bois de Jasmin http://boisdejasmin.typepad.com/_/no...d_ingredients/ is a wonderful source of information regarding jasmines.

On me ,not much.I have tested so many times A La Nuit ( I'm a Serge Lutens Addict ) but i think that he don't work well on me...
* * Yes, jasmine is my favorite floral! *
Oh yes, most definitely! I wish I could find an exact replica of what the star jasmine scent in California during spring and summer. I'd wear it daily if I found it.
"Too much of a good thing is wonderful." -- Mae West
Yes. Love jasmine. My jasmine shrub is beginning to bloom again.
Oh, how I love the scent of star jasmine! I used to think the original Bill Blass was pretty close to a dead ringer, but it's changed. You might want to try what's available now, though, to see what you think.Originally Posted by FufuLaRue
Well I thought that I don't like it, but I tend to change my mind after testing Blush by Marc Jacobs.
It stays fresh! I also reminds me of the jasmin tee that I like so much!

disguises voice as female...ahem...oh yes jasmine is lovely! especially AG's Le Jasmin ;D
When I lived in California, there was a night-blooming star jasmine bush (shrub? it was on a trellis, if I recall correctly) just outside my bedroom window. On warm evenings I'd open the window and the fragrance would slowly fill the room. Mmmmm.
I love jasmine perfumes, too.

I like jasmine--my favorite is the rose/jasmine blend Joy. I have the perfume,
(albeit I've owned it since the 80's--it still smells lovely) and to my nose, jasmine is more dominant than rose in the perfume. I felt it was more dominant in the EDP of that time, also, but the EDT seemed more dominant in rose. I haven't tried the latest forms of Joy--don't know how they compare to those of the 80's.
Oh my, I get so jealous, in a good way , and want to smell jasmin right away!!!Originally Posted by Bonni Hall

Jasmine's one of my obsessions. *If you love it, don't miss A La Nuit, Keiki Mecheri Jasmine, La Chasse aux Papillons, or Creed Jasmal! :-)
Just added - I tried Bvlgari's new Voile de Jasmin and it reminded me a lot of Blush! You may love it!
Ummm - not so much for me. My nose finds it heavy and cloying, even with its usual partner, the rose. (I really cannot stand the actual flower in bloom - almost makes me nauseated.) That said, it is apparent to me from reading this board and perfume blogs that there are many different jasmine incarnations. Perhaps I just haven't found the right one.... Always open to new ideas!
I love both nature's gift and bois de jasmin! *I also am fond of the various interpratations fo jasmine from the very indolic, intoxicating stuff to the lighter, greener versions. can't get enough of the king of flowers.Originally Posted by RHM
love it love it :-*
Our jasmine bush has just finished flowering for the summer :-[
Time to prune it off to promote extra blooms when next it flowers.
I dunno whether I can wear jasmine, never considered it.
Jasmine is gods' nectar!
Love it!
The answer is yes!!! My favs right now are Bond No.9 Nuits de Noho and Madison Soiree. I love that my husband loves them on me and that they are very longlasting fragrances.
Airy fresh jasmine yes, right now it is very popular.
I usually don`t like strong, dominating jasmine notes ,i don`t have a problem when it`s light ,well blended in the scent. I believe it has to do with the fact that jasmine contains too much indoles ...i some times find even the real jasmine flower`s smell to strong and unpleasant.
I dont know if you mean jasmine scents in men's cologne. If so--- a resonding YES!!! HM is sooooo sexy- and all it has is Vanilla, Chocolate, lemon ( I think) and jasmine. It is a sexy, sexy masculine scent. ANd then in women's perfume it is always nice!
I once read Jasmine being associated with the hippie days- and corraled with the likes of patchuolli! I had never thought of it as being "hippie'. A few friends of mine said jasmine is to "aromatherapy-ish". I love it, though.
Count me in on Jasmine. I've always loved it. Especially the fresh blooming flower - intoxicating!
I've just got the Godiva shampoo bar from Lush.
It smells so good, very true jasmin! It might be great to layer it with Blush.
hm...Lush-Blush ;D
There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way.
I'm pretty immune to the concept of "fasionable" but I do like jasmine quite a lot. Although lately I'm leaning more toward sambac than grasse because it seems fresher.

Speeding drivers in Shildon to be targeted by police patrols
Updated 9:32am Thursday 7th August 2014 in News By Ian Noble, Reporter (Shildon and Spennymoor)
POLICE are to run extra patrols to target speeding drivers in Shildon who are putting lives at risk.
Complaints have been made about motorists on several roads in the town including Middleton Road, Albert Street and Byerley Road.
Patrols targeting these roads and other areas in Shildon are to be held by the police in the coming weeks as part of a crack down on the menace.
Durham Police's patrol cars are to be included in the operation to back up officers on foot where needed.
A Shildon police spokesman said: "Drivers are urged to adhere to the speed limits which are there to ensure road safety.
"We will monitor the situation, obtain evidence and report findings which will lead to further action if necessary."
Complaints have been raised with the police by local residents and through Shildon Town Council in recent months.
Motorists could be issued with fixed penalty tickets and their licence could be endorsed with penalty points while a large fine could be imposed too if they are found guilty of speeding.

The SC-2010 is an extremely accurate assault rifle with an average rate of fire that clocks in at 750 rounds per minute. It is a 3 hit kill up to around 30 meters and a 4 hit kill until around 40 meters but drops off to a 5 hit kill at 42.5 meters. The iron sights on the gun are good but using an optic that magnifies your level of zoom is reccomended because this gun is designed to be used at medium to long range.

A Newhall bank robbery suspect is in custody after a short pursuit Saturday morning.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
Deputies are bringing the suspect to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station now, and have not yet released his name.
"A male black adult walked in with a stocking over his head and a small handgun," said Lt. Tom Bryski of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station.
The suspect is being booked on an armed robbery charge for allegedly robbing the Bank of America on the corner of Valley Street and Lyons Avenue at 10:40 a.m., Bryski said.
No one was hurt during the incident, Bryski said.
"And he took a small unknown amount of cash from the bank and he fled in a red (Toyota) Camry," Bryski said.
The suspect was spotted heading northbound on Highway 14 and pulled over by deputies from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station in the Camry he allegedly was seen driving.
He was stopped near the Sand Canyon Road exit of Highway 14.
"We thought he might have changed cars," he said.
The man is believed to have acted alone, Bryski said, and no other suspects are being sought for the crime at this time.
The suspect was in custody by 11 a.m., Bryski said.

Student Assists with Honor Quilt for Croixdale
MAY 15, 2009 | A University of Wisconsin-River Falls student has lent her art and sewing expertise to the Croixdale senior housing facility in Bayport, Minn., to make an honor quilt.
Nicole Cross, a senior art education major from Osceola, took on the project as a way to gain teaching experience and additional credits toward her degree.
The purpose of the honor quilt is to be placed on the deceased while loved ones honor them with prayers, readings and bible verses, says Cross.
Crosss advisor and UWRF art professor, Lynn Jermal, says the concept of a honor cloth is becoming popular in contemporary times. The concept of a honor cloth originated from African culture as a way to say goodbye to our deceased loved ones, said Jermal, and it is now used in western cultures as a way to honor deceased loved ones and during transport to funeral arrangements.
Cross has been working on this project with the Croixdale residents since February and plans on finishing the project by the end of spring semester.
The quilt is made up of numerous squares that have been personalized with fabric dyes. Cross has been using her artistic and sewing skills and teaching background to teach senior citizens how to do this technique. Cross said she was inspired to take on this project by her grandmother, who has been teaching Cross how to sew since she was young.
I am enjoying the expressions on the seniors faces after they see the result of their hard work, says Cross. Cross plans on pursuing an art teaching position with K-12 students.
Says Jermal: Nicole is very sincere and will be an empathetic teacher because she listens well. This project is building her confidence as she is working with people who are older than her; this experience will make her a great artist and teacher.

Hypersonic's known for building performance PCs, so where did this sub-notebook come from? Don't worry, it packs a punch, with its 2.5GHz Intel CPU, 4GB of RAM and 200GB 7200RPM hard drive. After taking pricing and feature set into consideration, we have good reason to be impressed.
In most other notebook reviews, I'd be able to dedicate a lot of the article to look at the included software and also perform some light gaming benchmarks, but both of those are impossible to do here. The notebook is not designed for gaming (a given), nor does it include a lot of software. That is a great thing, however. One common complaint from people who purchase a new notebook is the pre-installed bloatware. You will not find that here.
When I first booted up and saw an empty desktop, I contacted Hypersonic again to make sure I wasn't seeing things. I had assumed that I received a bloatware-free notebook due to it being a sample, but that wasn't the case at all. I was told that they have no agreements with anyone to include bloatware (or shovelware), nor do they have plans in the future.
So how am I to fill up half a page about software when there is none?! What I will talk about instead is the installation process in general, which was simple. Once Vista is installed (which takes around 30 minutes), it takes 10 minutes more to install the drivers off of the CD. I liked the fact that both XP and Vista drivers were included, instead of making people go to the website for the XP versions, like other companies do.
I received somewhat of an odd sample, since I received it with 4GB of RAM on a 32-bit OS. This means that only 3.0GB can be accessed at any time due to technical restrictions. This is a problem that no one else will face though, as you will be able to choose either a 32-bit or 64-bit OS and also the correct amount of memory.
If you do happen to go the 32-bit route initially, but decide you want more memory in the future, you will be able to use a Vista 64-bit installation disc (not included) to reinstall a fresh copy, using the serial key included with the notebook. This is a scenario I tested out, as I used the 64-bit version for testing.
Unlike most other notebook manufacturers, Hypersonic allows you the choice to receive the notebook sans an OS, which will decrease the system price overall.
The latest version of Ubuntu and Kubuntu came out around the time I received the notebook, so I had to give it a good test and see how the notebook performed there. Well, I have to say that I was actually blown away by how well Linux worked here. I've been quick to discredit Ubuntu in the past, but it's come a long way and you'd swear it was built for this notebook.
Everything worked after installation. You can see the Bluetooth and WiFi in the dock, both working just fine. But it didn't end there. The memory card reader worked, something I've had problems configuring manually in Linux in the past. The web cam, audio, video and everything else worked fine also. I was impressed. I also have to mention that the font rendering is the best I've seen, and it looks great on this small display. So if Linux happens to be your preferred OS, you won't be disappointed.
As I mentioned on the first page, this is the first sub-notebook I've used, and with it came a definite learning curve. The only real difficult thing, however, was using the keyboard. It has to be smaller to fit, and as a result, each key is smaller than what my fingers were used to. After a few weeks of use, I can say I've gotten a lot better at typing on it, but I am still not perfect.
If you were forced with the notebook for a weekend, you'd likely come out a pro. Posture has a lot to do with it I find. If I'm slouching, I tend to hit the wrong keys constantly, but if I sit up straight (like I should be), then typing is far easier. The main key I had problem with was the period, which is smaller than most of the other keys available. Due to space constraints, I can understand why it's smaller, but it doesn't stop me from wishing it was a wee bit bigger.
The more I used the notebook though, the more I came to love it. It handles all tasks well (thanks in part to it's huge processor and copious amounts of ram) and it's reliable in the process. One area of note is the WiFi, which I found to be rock stable. To test this, I run a script that automatically refreshes a web page each minute, and if I come back to the machine to find out that it failed one time, it means the network kicked out. I run the test alongside the same test on a wired computer to make sure it wasn't the actual network.
Most notebooks I've used recently do tend to kick off rather frequently, but not here though. It kicked out once in a 24-hour period, which impressed me greatly, primarily because I have an unreliable network to begin with. Somehow it managed to keep a very strong signal. This could have been by chance (as in, the network was pristine for that duration), but in all the testing, I never had it kick off once while using it.
What I don't like is hard to figure out. The notebook itself doesn't have the style and charm of something that the likes of Dell would offer, but the AG2 focuses on performance and functionality, not looks and design. Because most of the surface is barren, you are able to add a design if it suits you, whether it be some sort of engraving (not sure about that on plastic though) or a collection of stickers to show the world just how punk you are.
I personally would have liked to have seen a DVI port instead of the VGA, but I know I'm in the minority. Most prefer VGA as they only have one monitor, or a monitor with only one DVI port, which is being used by their desktop. So this is understandable, and depending on the monitor, a VGA connection will look just fine.
As you'd expect, the speakers are some of the weakest I've ever heard, and I'm pretty sure I could build something more advanced with a hanger wire and Styrofoam cups, but then again, that would be much larger than what can fit inside this display.
The web cam also wasn't highly impressive, but I have yet to find one on a notebook that is. Unless you have a bulky external offering, like Logitech's QuickCam Pro 9000, you are either going to have a very low resolution output, or one that's jerky. The latter describes this one, but it will certainly manage in a bind, or for quick shots of yourself in very inappropriate poses.
Overall, I don't have serious complaints about the AG2. There are a few things I wish were improved, but I'll tackle those in the final thoughts on the next page. It's a notebook clean of bloatware with an emphasis on performance. Hard to not like that.

Australia Stops Flu Shots for Children Under Five
Today (April 23), the Australian Medical Association backed a government call to suspend influenza vaccinations in children under age five. The new seasonal influenza vaccine, which contains H1N1 along with two other influenza strains, has resulted in many severe reactions, including high fevers and convulsions leading to hospitalizations in young children.
Professor of Infectious Diseases, Peter Collignon, is quoted in a news report as saying "If you were infected with swine flu itself last year or had been given the swine flu vaccine, if you then get exposed again to part of the virus, you've already got antibodies and white cells that are turned on to try to fight the virus. If you get exposed to it again, you may have a brisk reaction, where you produce more antibodies and more white cells, which gives you a fever and an inflammatory reaction."
