Gainesville company to appear on Lifetime TV show Monday
Published: Sunday, January 17, 2010 at 3:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 17, 2010 at 4:04 p.m.
Gainesville-based biopharmaceutical company Oragenics will appear Monday on "The Balancing Act," a Lifetime Television talk show.
Linda Loren, director of marketing for Oragenics, will discuss oral health and the company's pioneering work in the field of probiotics on the show, which airs at 7:30 a.m.
"Oral health is now more and more linked to other conditions," Loren said. "As researchers discover how oral health affects overall health, they are pushing for ways to remind people about the importance of maintaining oral hygiene."
Oragenics has developed EvoraPlus, a food additive that whitens teeth, freshens breath and promotes gum health for humans made from three key probiotics, or healthy bacterica already present within the body, she said.
The organization has amassed media attention for its oral care products for both pets and humans using probiotics, according to a press release.
Oragenics also recently released Teddy's Pride Oral Care, a tasteless, odorless powder blend of probiotics that is sprinkled on dog or cat food that freshens breath and whitens teeth.
The formulas were designed by Dr. Jeffery Hillman, a researcher for the University of Florida College of Dentistry.
Oragenics products can be purchased online at http://www.oragenics.com/.

I have created a tabbed area, with labels for each tab. After I did this, I see they appear in my list of elements on the right side of the Appearance > Widgets screen in the dashboard. Let me just call them "capsules;" they are the gray capsules that have the names of layout elements I've created.
After I created the tabber tabs, my list is like this:
Tabber-Current Projects-water quality
Tabber-Current Projects-woodpile
Then my default items are listed ... such as 780 Home-Above Content-1 ... and the like
Where I have placed my tabber widget, in 960-Home-Footer Widgets-1, I see that clicking open the capsule opens it to show "Tabber Widget: Current projects" (the name of this particular tabbed area). I don't see where to enter content here. I'm on a mac; is there some control key I should be using to activate some live area?
I got this far by following the tutorial by Brian Gatley.
I may be missing it, but I don't see where to enter content.
Thanks. I know the answer will be easy once you point it out. I really like the tabber plugin.

NORFOLK -- Brenda Harford from Whole-ly Rollers showed me how to make yeast rolls like her grandmother Annie May Langley baked for 78 years in Berkley.
We were at Five Points Community Farm Market on Church Street cutting up dough to make 24 rolls.
You have to fold each one just right.
'Tri-fold. And then I'm going to stretch it out and do my bi-fold. That's a Whole-ly Roller,' Harford demonstrated.
Brenda's grandmother did everything by hand, but there are now cutters that make this process a lot faster.
'Alright, Joe, go ahead and put them in the proofer for us.'
The proofer is like a steam closet that helps the yeast rise.
'In my grandmother's day, they would put a towel over the pan and allow the rolls to rise overnight. Many hours,' added Harford.
I also baked up a batch of knuckle bucks cookies. Walnuts, chocolate chips, oatmeal - delicious.
Baking can be a labor-intensive job for some. Brenda said last Thanksgiving she pulled an all-nighter and made nearly 6,000 yeast rolls.
What does she like about her job?
'Rewards. Hearing people say how good they are, how much they enjoy them. They are glad that I make them. So that's motivation. But it's not hard work to me,' said Harford.
How was I doing?
'Now, I don't know how you would do as a holy roller, but these ladies got it going on,' said shopper Rhonda Hayes.
They do have it going on. The proof is in the taste and these old school, yeast rolls from a Berkley family recipe are good.

Special efforts would be made to enrol the young people who are eligible to be voters but have not enrolled themselves as voters, Joint Collector Pravin Kumar said here on Saturday.
Between 1.5 lakh and 1.7 lakh youngsters, who are 18 years old and eligible to be voters have to be enrolled in the district.
Around 30,000 of them are in the Visakha Agency. Special campaign at the polling booths on the next two Sundays – December 8 and 15 – and operating mobile registration centres at the colleges and universities and villages are some of the steps being taken, Mr. Pravin Kumar informed at a press conference.
Application forms would be made available at the polling booths and the filled in applications along with the required documents would be accepted there itself.
The young voters could get themselves registered online also.
Students and those came to the district for education and employment and are staying here for more than six months could also apply for inclusion in the voters' list.Colour ID cards
"The new voters would be issues colour voter identity cards (elector's photo identity cards-EPIC), which appear like ATM cards", he said. The old EPICs, which are in black and white would be replaced with colour cards in a phased manner.
Applications for registration as voters would be accepted till December 17 and they would be verified till December 31. EPICs would be issued to the applicants whose applications were found to be in order.
Since May, 69,000 applications, including 26,851 from fresh voters, were received in the district and 10,000 were disposed of. As many as 47,000 bogus voters were identified through online verification and they would be removed from the list after conducting inquiry.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
Cibo Matto
Stereotype A
Warner Bros.
WHEN CIBO MATTO released its first single, 1994's unhinged, organ-curdled rant "Birthday Cake," they sounded like nothing else on college radio. Japanese-born New York City singer Miho Hatori and compatriot multi-instrumentalist Yuka Honda made hectic, food-obsessed art-hop about life in the hectic, food-obsessed city they called home, layering the dense beats with a cryptic gastro-sensualism and an oddly confrontational intensity: "Extra sugar/Extra salt," yelled Hatori through layers of distortion, "Extra oil and MSG!/Shut up and eat!"
Whatever its source--or its aim--this hungry rage promised delicious fun for anyone who believed that Hatori and Honda could keep it up. Sadly, in the two years that elapsed between the release of "Birthday Cake" and Viva! La Woman, the full-length album that eventually surrounded it, Cibo Matto went from making weird jump-around party music to crafting boring trip hop for young elites to dance to distractedly after catching the duo on Buffy. The praise heaped upon that platter focused mostly on identity politricks, belying the fact that this unfunky record was only intermittently more interesting than kindred culinary trip popper DJ Food. The contrast between single and album was something like the difference between a junk shop and a boutique. The latter may be neater and more organized, but it's nowhere near as fun.
Now comes the new Stereotype A, which feels closer to shopping at the Gap: "hip," sterile, and vaguely unpleasant. The Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake-aided grab bag of sonic oddities that pervaded even the sleepiest moments of Viva! is gone, replaced by a scrubbed sonic sheen that's nearly antiseptic.
The exceptions--the dinky Japanglish geek-rap of "Sci-Fi Wasabi," the dreary metal parody "Blue Train"--stand out only because they're so damned irritating. Sophomore albums usually are a showcase for growth, but the only evidence of artistic advancement here is that the songs aren't all about food.

I like the stove but have a couple of things I don't like about it, when I use the timer, the oven turns off, sometimes I need to put time at a certain temp and then lower or raise temp, with it shutting the oven, I have to reset time and temp. The rings around the burners stain very easily, I've had the stove since June 5 and I don't cook that much and they are stained and I can't get it off. The black grid is starting to lose the black already from pots. I like the stove but if I had it to do over again, I probably would have gotten a different one. The stove is not all stainless steel.

About once every couple of weeks I will be baking and the oven will turn off and give a letter on the screen. They have replaced the screen, the module and have put a magnet of the electrical wiring. Still giving a letter and turning off. Each time you need to pull out the stove and unplug it to reboot the module... Unacceptable. Works well when it does work.

Very Happy
By Dave63
from Ohio, United States
We purchased this unit to replace another brand that we felt did not hold up. A good stove is a major investment and we feel we made the right choice with Kitchenaid. It is easy to use and the cooktop is easy to clean which makes everyone happy.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I am happy now, but the first model was not good because I couldn't open the oven door twice. It had to be replaced, and almost spoiled our Thanksgiving holiday.
Great Gas Stove with practical design

bought this in february 2014, arrived in may, the only draw back was my delivery , use this stove all summer and into the fall-just love it!
Very good quality for price
By llifrench
from NC
Let me say first that I would have preferred top-of-the-line oversized gas range, but didn't want to spend the money (4+ times as much as this cost) for that luxury. So, for the price, this one is awesome! The gas control is really good (way high, to nice and low) and it does an amazing job. Both the stove, and the oven are great. The warmer is an added plus. I probably wouldn't have focused on the 5 burner, because in reality you can't use the fifth burner when you're using the others because there's not enough room (unless all the pots were little), so it's really not necessary. The knobs get too hot when you're in full cook mode with the front burners, that's a negative. That's probably my only complaint.
Love my Kitchen Aid Stove
By Karen300
from Huntley, IL, United States
I love the styling of my new Kitchen Aid Range. The 5th burner is great and it makes the full range top functional for positioning pots and pans over the full surface. The oven shelves are great with the easy slide rack for making removal easy and safe.

Technology of sustainability or is it sustainability of technology? That was the debate in an evening of animated discussion organised by the bath solutions group Grohe this week
The event organised to launch the GroheGrandera collection in Bangalore recently saw eminent architects Karan Grover, Aaron Schwarz, Jaisim, Prem Chandavarkar, Jaffer Khan, and Angela Lm Alessi sharing the dais.
Contending that innovation has led to large-scale conservation of water over the years with companies using technology to offer products that conserve water use significantly, the discussion veered around the role of technology in sustainability, the need for right attitude towards sustainability, where sustainability is not viewed as a luxury element based on innovation but one that brings in the much needed conservation.
Stating that "water is the most used resource in the world next only to concrete, which also uses water," Karan Grover added that technology is a tool that is capable of creating a sustainable result if used properly. "But it is not technology alone but a blend of design too that brings in sustainability where the design element forms a significant part."
According to him the question of creating sustainable technology is not one of science but of human inclination, with technology to be used after ensuring all the sustainable elements are in place.
To Aaron Schwarz, sustainability is not an all or nothing proposition. "You can bring in a change by even doing a small bit towards becoming sustainable."
Insisting that sustainability is not a western concept with "U.S. being one of the worst energy consumers", Schwarz added, "India has been practising sustainable options for ages with Vaastu being a classic example where the orientation is tuned to bring in maximum natural light and ventilation while cutting down on heat ingress."
Sheer efficiency
Speaking on rainwater harvesting, he drew attention to the efficient water conservation process involved in the Roman Baths, and the Indian techniques of using and conserving water as evident in the palaces and ancient buildings. "The courtyards and verandahs in the traditional Indian houses were structured to ensure natural light and ventilation. The Jaalis used were again not mere decorative elements but shields to bring in ventilation while reducing the harsh sunlight filtering into the interiors."
Schwarz insisted on the need for creating benchmarks for the right way to make cities sustainable with infrastructure designed on a macro scale where "you don't build more glass houses and commercial complexes that increase heat."
Prem Chandavarkar called for change in the mindset where "you think differently about design and use it strategically to change life."
Speaking on use of technology and innovation by industry to reduce the use of water directly through its innovative products, Renu Misra, Managing Director, Grohe India, said, "Our legacy is one of simplicity combined with stunning elegance. Our range of products is based on sustainability that emerges from design, technology and quality. Our products also transition the spaces from one of rationality to that dominated by emotions where functionality continues to be the main plank."
Grohe India, with a huge share of the organised market in shower solutions in the country, apart from bringing in craftsmanship and harmonious design into its products, is focused on offering sustainable options, said Mishra.

So here's the legacy left in Weld County, Colorado by bankrupt Abound Solar, the crony capitalist-influenced Department of Energy, and Democrat donor/investor/billionaire-ette Pat Stryker: A financially-screwed county government, hundreds who have lost their jobs, and a big, expensive toxic mess to clean up.
But it's no skin off the jet-setting heiress's nose as she continues to pour millions into hard-left causes, while the locals affected by the closure struggle.
When it comes to Tesla Motors, an irrational exuberance has overtaken Wall Street, the Department of Energy, electric car advocates, government interventionists, crony capitalists, techie nerds and Elon Musk fanboys everywhere.
The praise comes rapid fire: $20 billion market capitalization! It's worth more than Chrysler! Its stock price is at $169! They've had two consecutive profitable quarters! They paid back their government loan early! The Model S is the safest car of all time! Consumer Reports says it's almost perfect! Its batteries don't burn up!
Thirteen years ago a former executive chef/kitchen manager launched an environmentally friendly cleaning products company to compete with industry giant Ecolab, his former employer, where he had worked and achieved the position of district sales manager.
At the end of 2004 he gave up that money-losing business and turned it over to a partner, who in the first quarter of 2006 turned it into an electric vehicle charging company run by a former hotel chain executive – a self-described "political beast" – who would heavily depend on government subsidies for the revised company's survival.
With this dysfunctional history, is it any wonder why Ecotality is on the verge of bankruptcy?
Just when you thought the Loan Program Office in President Obama's Department of Energy might put its unused electric auto loan money back in the Treasury coffers, the government investor-crats are going to try to find some takers for the dollars of disrepute that have been tainted by the likes of inoperative, nearly bankrupt Fisker Automotive and Vehicle Production Group.
Another fiscal quarter has passed and if you consume most of the mainstream and/or pro-renewable energy media, it's been another consecutive financial smashing success for luxury plug-in maker Tesla Automotive.
That is, if you don't subtract the buyer's federal tax credit for each vehicle, or the California emission credits sales scheme, or state tax credits and incentives, or subsidies for battery manufacturers. Also, it's great for Tesla and CEO Elon Musk if you disregard Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
If you can swallow all that government market distortion, taxpayer largess and books-cooking, Tesla's Model S is finally taking off!
The sniping and backbiting behind the financial scenes are escalating as those involved with Fisker Automotive and other green tech flops seek to direct blame for their investment failures. U.S. taxpayers, as usual, have suffered bystander casualties.
The latest controversy surrounds Silicon Valley investment firm Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers, which has suffered a series of setbacks over its strategy to place sizable wagers on so-called "clean energy" companies. Their tech bettors hit on several huge successes during the 1990s dot-com boom, which history shows was a huge bubble with a nasty burst. The same thing happened with the government-fueled housing expansion and now the renewable energy sector is ballooning for the same reason.
An audit by the Department of Energy's Inspector General found that the persistent weak demand for electric vehicles harmed the deployment and timeliness of a $135 million-plus taxpayer funded charging network, which spun a cycle of excessive grants and project expansion, that led to an enormous waste of public money.
The investigators, led by IG Gregory Friedman, determined that conditions for reimbursement to Ecotality, Inc. (and its subsidiaries) for the EV charging demonstration project were "very generous," although not explicitly prohibited under federal regulations.
Reports have trickled out lately that, all of a sudden, demand is so great for the all-electric Leaf that Nissan's production just can't keep up.
"We're going to be short on inventory all through the summer," said Erik Gottfried, director of electric vehicle sales for Nissan, to Automotive News. "It will be late fall before we can produce enough to satisfy everybody."
Then the appropriate question from taxpayers should be, "What did we pay $1.4 billion for you to do in Smyrna, Tennessee then?!?"
A popular automotive Web site's attempt to set the record straight on the degree of success and failure of the Department of Energy's Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing loan program was well-intentioned, but missed the mark on several points and overall gave the initiative far too much credit.
Jalopnik.com contributor Patrick George was pointed in the right direction when he characterized DOE's boastful Loan Program Office as "rosy," but more accurate descriptors would be "excessive" and "unrealistic." It's clear his analysis was one of an automotive enthusiast and reviewer, rather than someone who regularly watchdogs government with a skeptic's eye and knows how bureaucrats fudge and exaggerate numbers to claim credit for their politician bosses. As NLPC has reported often, DOE – before a taxpayer-backed bank check was ever issued to an electric automaker – has made absolutely unbelievable claims about jobs, fuel savings and carbon dioxide emission reductions that were to be realized as a result of their loans.
Despite little news over the past nine months since its last-minute abandonment of an initial public offering that was supposed to raise $76 million in cash, stimulus recipient Smith Electric Vehicles is showing little evidence it can inspire demand for its commercial trucks, like its plug-in car counterparts.
Smith's selling point for its step vans was that, unlike electric automobiles, delivery routes in urban areas did not require a long range between refueling (or, recharging). Frequent stops and short distances alleviated the "range anxiety" that accompanies cars like the Nissan Leaf. Frito-Lay, Coca-Cola and Staples were cited as early adopters of the truck demonstration project, which was launched with the help of $32 million in taxpayer funds.

The Text Mining Handbook: Advanced Approaches in Analyzing Unstructured Data
Cambridge University Press, Dec 11, 2006 - Computers
Text mining is a new and exciting area of computer science research that tries to solve the crisis of information overload by combining techniques from data mining, machine learning, natural language processing, information retrieval, and knowledge management. Similarly, link detection – a rapidly evolving approach to the analysis of text that shares and builds upon many of the key elements of text mining – also provides new tools for people to better leverage their burgeoning textual data resources. The Text Mining Handbook presents a comprehensive discussion of the state-of-the-art in text mining and link detection. In addition to providing an in-depth examination of core text mining and link detection algorithms and operations, the book examines advanced pre-processing techniques, knowledge representation considerations, and visualization approaches. Finally, the book explores current real-world, mission-critical applications of text mining and link detection in such varied fields as M&A business intelligence, genomics research and counter-terrorism activities.

Yzerman Hanging Around The Joe

from the CBC, The Detroit Red Wings retired Steve Yzerman's jersey Tuesday night in Detroit….
"I don't know how I can thank you," he said, fighting back tears. "As I said earlier, the first time I stepped on the ice in 1983, I was in awe of the building and the atmosphere. I felt that throughout my entire career. It's inspirational."

Negative Feedback On NHL Realignment
by Paul on 01/02/07 at 06:35 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Stan Fischler of MSG Network,
• The NHL realignment idea is inspiring significant negative feedback. As one high NHL Exec says, "Why are they always finding something wrong and looking to change? I've never seen the league change so much so often. Who does Gary Bettman listen to anyway? The system is perfect the way it is now with great races all over the place."
• Pittsburgh insiders with whom we talk believe that the Penguins will be saved for Pitt with some behind-the-scenes wheeling-dealing. However, no one is willing to bet on it because of Pennsylvania politics. Should all attempts fail, the Pens could wind up in, 1. Houston; 2. Kansas City; 3. Las Vegas; 4. Oklahoma City.

Sharks Send Pair To Minors
by Paul on 01/02/07 at 06:30 PM ET
Comments (0)
San Jose Sharks Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Wilson announced today that the club has assigned right wing Steve Bernier and defenseman Matt Carle to the Worcester Sharks, the team's top development affiliate in the American Hockey League.
Carle, 22, currently leads all Sharks defensemen with 21 points (3-18=21). Among League rookies, he is sixth in points, fourth in assists and tied for third in power play points (2-10=12) in 39 games played.
Bernier, 21, has appeared in 39 games posting 25 points (11-14=25), which is fourth-best on the team. His six power play goals are fourth on the team and his three game-winning goals are tied for third. He ranks 12th among all League forwards in hits (88).
added 10:07pm, from the AP via the Contra Costa Times,
Coach Ron Wilson said he wanted to send a message to both players after Bernier scored just one point in his past seven games and Carle was a minus-4 against the Coyotes.
But the Sharks decided a one-game message wasn't enough to turn around either player, so they demoted two key contributors to one of the NHL's winningest teams.
"They are two different cases," Wilson said Tuesday. "I have all the confidence in both guys and am sure they will turn their games around."

A Marriage Made In Heaven
by Paul on 01/02/07 at 04:11 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
...Yzerman, meanwhile, became one of a handful of NHL players that ended his career in the same place it began — in Detroit, with a Red Wings' team that soon grew to appreciate all the things, obvious and subtle, that he did for them. Yzerman acknowledged that he didn't know much about Detroit when he first arrived. He learned about their history early on, whenever Gordie Howe or Ted Lindsay dropped by the dressing room. In the end, he contributed greatly to that history, which is why Jersey No. 19 was raised to the rafters on Tuesday night at Joe Louis Arena, culminating a remarkable career that began as an awkward coupling - and ended up as a marriage made in heaven.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- After months of preparation and build up, Startup Weekend is ready for it's first event in Little Rock at the Clinton School of Public Service from Friday April 5 to Sunday April 7.
Little Rock Startup Weekend will be the first of it's kind in the community: bringing together entrepreneurial programmers, designers and business creatives from around Arkansas to pitch ideas, form teams, and start companies in 54 hours.
Organizers and Little Rock natives Jordan Carlisle and Max Farrell have attended several Startup Weekend events across the country and have first-hand experience of the entrepreneurial spark that the event can create in communities.
"This is our chance to give back to our hometown and serve as a catalyst for the growing startup and entrepreneurial scene around the state of Arkansas," Carlisle said.
Startup Weekend will feature mentors and judges from across the state with expertise in fields such as programming, design, marketing, branding, venture capital, legal, and business development. Thousands of dollars worth of prizes and in-kind consultation are up for grabs for winning teams to start building their businesses.
The event begins Friday night with open idea pitches, which leads to a 54-hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing, and market validation. The weekends culminate with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback.
Final pitches are open to the public on Sunday at 5pm at the Clinton School for Public Service.
A limited number of tickets are available for interested participants. Please go to littlerock.startupweekend.org for details or contact Max at firstname.lastname@example.com (501)231-5554 with any questions.

A Conversation with Sergei Shirokov
Thomas Drance
July 20 2011 11:34AM
Editors Note: Andrey Osadchenko is a Thompson Rivers journalism graduate now living in Toronto. He's an accredited member of the foreign press and writes for sports.ru and allhockey.ru. He spoke with Sergei Shirokov about a number of topics including: being a black ace during a cup run, biting in hockey, Tim Thomas, the YVR riots, life in Winnipeg, getting traded to Florida and leaving North America for the KHL. Here's what Shirokov had to say.
Exclusive Q&A with Sergei Shirokov Via Andrey Osadchenko (translated from the original Russian).
Andrey Osadchenko: Though you didn't dress for the Canucks in the playoffs this year, you were still with the team at the time. Would it be fair to say that it was the biggest event in your career so far?
Sergei Shirokov: In terms of gaining valuable experience, probably, yes, it was. I mean, it's the Stanley Cup Finals. That was a big achievement for me experience-wise. Never in my life have I been a part of something as big as that. Although, I didn't play a single game, I hung out with the team, experienced the atmosphere and saw everything that was going on at that time.

Over the weekend, it seemed like an announcement naming Craig MacTavish the head-coach of the Canucks new AHL affiliate the Chicago Wolves was imminent. Two well respected, and generally trust-worthy hockey reporters in Kypreos and Strickland tweeted that the deal was "likely" and "real close". I figured that the press-release, and the official announcement were mere formalities.

Trayvon Martin's parents are expected in Sanford Friday at the second bond hearing for their sons killer.
Circuit Judge Kenneth R. Lester will decide Friday whether to let 28 year old former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman out on bond. In April, Lester let Zimmerman out on $150,000 bond, but later revoked the bail when he learned that the defendant tried to cover up how much money he had raised online.
The gaffe cost Zimmerman $15,000, which he paid to the bondsmen and did not get back.
Zimmermans wife was charged with perjury for lying during the bond hearing and faces a potential jail term of her own.
Lester said Zimmerman could attend his second bond hearing in civilian clothes and without restraints.
Defense attorney Mark OMara is expected to call bondsmen to testify on Zimmermans behalf.
In April, Zimmermans parents and wife testified by phone, and he testified in person. He remained silent as his family presented itself as indigent, even as his wife and sister cashed and hid a small fortune in donations.
The defense hopes the judge will set aside any ill will he felt for having been misled, and instead considers that Zimmerman cooperated with police for six weeks while detectives investigated, and the nation rallied against him. Zimmerman gave several interviews to police, did a videotaped walk-through of the scene, submitted to a lie detector, a voice comparison analysis and also let his phone be searched.
In his prior ruling, Lester said all that weighs in Zimmermans favor. But his arrest history and a domestic violence clash with an ex-girlfriend could work against him, as does his lack of respect for the court, Lester said.
Assistant State Attorney Bernardo de la Rionda wouldnt say whether he plans to mention a 2006 federal lawsuit in which Zimmerman was slapped with a $10,000 fine because he was a no-show at his own deposition. His appearance was mandatory, but failing to show up at a deposition is not as serious as missing a court appearance, legal experts say.
Lester is also expected to rule on whether prosecutors should be forced to make certain evidence public. Both sides want to seal a statement by a woman who they said made allegations that were so serious that theyd ruin Zimmermans chances at a fair trial. The accusation is unrelated to the Feb. 26 killing.
They will also debate whether a batch of telephone calls Zimmerman made from jail should also be released.
Media companies, including the Miami Herald, argue the law says the evidence must be made public, even if it is not admissible in this trial.
Zimmerman admits he killed Trayvon, a Michael Krop High School junior who was riding out a weeks suspension visiting Central Florida at his fathers girlfriends house.
Zimmerman says the teen attacked him. Prosecutors say the former neighborhood watch volunteer profiled and pursued Trayvon, and that he should be found guilty of second degree murder.
Trayvons parents attorney Benjamin Crump said Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin will attend the session but are not expected to speak.

Quote "Of course you have the same thread every few months. You get new folks who didn''t see it last go through and they have some of the same questions... and need the same answers. It''s the nature of these type of boards" It is the nature of inexperienced people not to listen to the advice that more experienced people are giving that seems to be happening more often than not.IMHO people that build/design sailboats should sail first,it only makes sense,but when you see poorly designed boats it makes you wonder.There are boat hulls laying around from coast to coast and this should be a clue as well.Some people build for ego others for a form of meditation.....etc.The bottom line is that it is the most expensive way to go and if you can afford to throw away many thousands of dollars in your pursuit than boatbuilding is for you.You may be the greatist artisan ,working with concrete....but by your own admission you are no boatbuilder/designer.Thinking one relates to the other is apples to oranges.I am not telling you to stay away from boatbuilding if you are determined,however,you have years of research to do on costs,construction.....and when you are done you will have the money for your marine plywood which any novice builder would use. Good luck with your studies

Death toll in Turkish mine blast rises above 200, many still trapped

SOMA, Turkey (REUTERS) – Rescuers pulled more dead and injured from a coal mine in western Turkey on Wednesday more than 12 hours after an explosion, bringing the death toll to 201 in the nation's worst mining disaster for decades.
Hundreds more were still believed to be trapped in the mine in Soma, around 120 km northeast of the Aegean coastal city of Izmir. The explosion, which triggered a fire, occurred shortly after 3 pm local time on Tuesday.
"We are worried that this death toll will rise...I have to say that our hopes are dimming in terms of the rescue efforts," Energy Minister Taner Yildiz told reporters at the scene.
Fellow miners said the fire was still burning underground, hampering the operation. A pall of smoke hung above the area.

Actress Ava Gardner's bawdy banter powers new book
Monday - 7/1/2013, 10:40am EDT
Associated Press
"Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations" (Simon & Schuster), by Peter Evans and Ava Gardner
"I'm tired of remembering," actress Ava Gardner laments during one of many sessions with the ghostwriter working on her memoir. "I'm sick of trying to explain myself all the time."
Her spirit may have been unwilling, but Gardner's motivation was powerful: She needed the money. At 66, with her acting career over and her body suffering from the effects of a debilitating stroke, one of film's most beautiful women was nearly broke. The star of "The Barefoot Contessa" (1954) and dozens of other movies (she was nominated for an Oscar for 1953's "Mogambo") hoped that a tell-all book would bring her hundreds of thousands of dollars -- or at least enough cash to allow her to remain in her London flat.
The project that began in 1988 fell apart after Gardner discovered that her chosen writer, Peter Evans, had once angered Frank Sinatra. Thirty years after their divorce, Sinatra still held sway over Gardner and it's unlikely she would have remained in the singer's good graces working with an enemy.
"Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations" is not the book that either Evans or Gardner had envisioned when they met at her apartment or when she called him at all hours of the night, sleepless and mournful. It's less the story of Gardner's life than a memoir by Evans, who uses his decades-old tapes and notes to recount their short-lived partnership. Echoes of the movie "Sunset Boulevard," with its aging and pathetic star, are hard to ignore, except Gardner isn't delusional or trying to seduce her writer. She knew all too well how she got where she was.
Fans of Hollywood in the 1940s and '50s will enjoy the randy banter about the men Gardner married. At 5-foot-2, Mickey Rooney was the shortest of her mates, the best dancer and an unconscionable cheat. Husband No. 2, composer and bandleader Artie Shaw, gave her a hard time for being a rag-tag North Carolina girl, offered her books to read and gave her the boot after barely a year.
Sinatra matched her in jealousy, insecurity, combativeness -- and loyalty. She told Evans that Sinatra always telephoned her on Christmas Eve, which was also her birthday. But she never called him, she said, because "he's a married man, honey." She was less enchanted with Sinatra's pal Humphrey Bogart, her "Barefoot Contessa" co-star, whom she remembered as envious of her star status in their film.
Two other lovers loomed large in her past. Wealthy recluse Howard Hughes wanted to marry her, even though she battered him with an ashtray during one fight, and he dislocated her jaw during another. Actor George C. Scott, her co-star in, of all things, 1966's "The Bible," would awaken in their bed after drunken rages unaware that he had left Gardner bloody and bruised. No wonder she kept a drink at the ready while mining her memories.
"The Secret Conversations" doesn't reveal much new about Gardner's life -- she did turn out a memoir before she died in 1990 -- and next to nothing about the movies she made, even popular films like "On the Beach" (1959) and "The Night of the Iguana" (1964).
Caught on tape being herself, Gardner comes off as she had feared -- vulgar, cynical and trampy. Her words also carry the tones Evans had hoped for -- funny, perceptive and genuine.

"As always, Wildsmith's lush pen-and-watercolor paintings bring vivid detail to the story. The spreads range from panoramic views (of ancient Egypt) to composites of smaller scenes (Passover and the Plagues) to close-ups (Moses receiving the Ten Commandments). Gold borders around each spread and the dust jacket and rose-and-gold endpapers depicting replicas of the Ten Commandments add to the elegance of the presentation. A worthy companion to Wildsmith's Joseph." Booklist
"The writing is straightforward and simple; the story is brief but accurate. The artwork is a visual feast. . . . Filled with meticulous and decorative detail, glowing with rich colors, and arranged to maximize dramatic impact, the paintings show the awesome events with excitement and beauty." School Library Journal
"Grand-scale illustrations that typically span both large pages edged in gleaming gold wll rivet readers' attention. The compelling, awesome, and intricate artwork will undoubtedly affect forever the way children who experience it view Moses' story." CBA Marketplace

Minnesota wrestler Logan Storley gestured to the Sports Pavilion's capacity crowd to get up and get loud Sunday afternoon. The 5,603 fans tucked next to railings and sitting on steps didn't need the encouragement; they knew an upset of top-ranked Penn State was brewing.
The Nittany Lions then won the next two matches to take a 17-15 lead, leaving the third-ranked Gophers' chances of a Big Ten regular-season title on the broad shoulders of heavyweight Tony Nelson.
"(Former Olympic and Gophers hockey coach) Herbie Brooks said, 'Monumental things happen when you have opportunity,' " Gophers coach J Robinson said.
Nelson forced an escape and takedown in the second period to power a 6-0 win over unranked Jon Gingrich.
"And they had opportunity (Sunday) as a team and individuals, and they took advantage of it," Robinson said. "It was beautiful."
Minnesota (10-1, 6-1 Big Ten) clinched a share of its 13th Big Ten regular-season title -- the program's first since 2007. They will add more white print to a maroon banner in the rafters of the Sports Pavilion.
"It's great to beat the No. 1 team, senior year, final day at home," said Nelson, a two-time defending national champion who had lost his previous three matches. "It was awesome."
Penn State (13-1, 7-1) had higher-ranked wrestlers in six of the 10 matches, but Minnesota got upsets from No. 6 Storley over No.
Ness (15-5) took down Alton (15-1) in the 157-pound match to give the Gophers a 12-7 lead at intermission. The Sports Pavilion crowd roared as the Gophers left the mat.
"It really gave us the separation," Nelson said. "All of their guys (at heavier weights) are tough. We knew they were going to be coming for us and trying to take that back. Logan went out there and wrestled physical, tough and he really took it to a guy he has lost to.
At 184 pounds, Penn State's second-ranked Ed Ruth beat No. 8 Kevin Steinhaus 7-1.
At 197, the Gophers' top-ranked and previously unbeaten Scott Schiller lost to No. 5 Morgan McIntosh 8-4, giving Penn State a 17-15 lead before Nelson.
In addition to his ranked wrestlers, Robinson mentioned Jordan Kingsley at 125 pounds and Danny Zilverberg at 165 as important contributors despite the fact they lost major decisions. They had stiff competition in No. 2 Nico Megaludis and No. 1 David Taylor, respectively.
Robinson said Kingsley didn't know he was going to wrestle until Sunday morning.
"He steps in there and keeps it down and saves us (points)," Robinson said.
The Gophers' third-ranked Nick Dardanes staved off unranked Zach Beitz, 6-4, in two overtimes at 149 pounds before Ness' pin.
"Everybody wants to live an adventure, be the hero and save the maiden," Robinson said. "We couldn't save the maiden, but they got a chance to be a part of the adventure and be the heroes. This is what we all crave to do. That is what athletics are for and what people came to see."

QUEENS, N.Y. - A homecoming of sorts will highlight the Red Storm women's cross country team's return to competition on Sat., Sept. 7 as head coach Jim Hurt's squad will make the short trip to St. John's University's Oakdale, N.Y., campus to co-host the SJU-Hofstra Fall XC Festival.
Kicking off the four-race festival will be the Long Island USA Track & Field Grand Prix 5K at 9 a.m., followed by an alumni one mile fun run & walk at 9:30 a.m. The Red Storm will then take center stage in the collegiate women's 4K at 10:30 a.m., followed by the collegiate men's 5K at 11 a.m. St. John's will line up against the teams from Adelphi, Hofstra, Manhattan, Molloy, Seton Hall and St. Joseph's.
St. John's alumni and parents are encouraged to stay after the races for a luncheon with the Red Storm.
"Hofstra Coach Pete Alfano ran for us in the late 1990s, so we are very pleased to be co-hosting the meet with the Pride while returning to the Oakdale campus," said Hurt. "The grounds surrounding the mansion on the Great South Bay at the Oakdale Campus are quite special and offer an exceptional competition venue for runners and spectators alike. We feel the meet will be a great way to kick-off the 2013 cross country season and we encourage all alumni, parents, and cross country fans to come out to the Oakdale campus and be part of this special event."
The Red Storm has not competed in Oakdale since 2005. In 2012, St. John's opened its campaign with a winning effort at the Hofstra-Brick Stone Memorial Run, placing its top-five finishers in the top-15 overall to edge fellow BIG EAST competitor Seton Hall by one point.
The past week has seen the Red Storm participate in its annual cross country camp, highlighted by a training run on the Oakdale course and team trips to Jones Beach, famed Van Cortlandt Park and Connetquot State Park.
Duffy, who will be counted on to provide leadership and experience to Hurt's group, was St. John's fourth runner at the BIG EAST Championships last year in setting a personal-best 6K time.
"Our team is very young with only grad-student Michelle Duffy returning with more than one year of college cross country experience," said Hurt. "Michelle has battled back from a near career-ending injury and is poised for her best cross country season of her career. Fortunately, we can also depend on our sophomore class which has the exceptional potential to be highly competitive in their second seasons."
Leading the way for the Red Storm's sophomore core is Kerri Butler, who placed second for the Red Storm in all three championship races in her first season as St. John's, including finishing 36th overall at the ECAC Championships in a personal-best 5K time. Classmates Stephanie Van Pelt and Ashlin Conroy also figure to be key contributors after featuring in the team's top-5 on a number of occasions last season.
Fellow sophomores Veronica Thompson and Michelle Van Pelt, and cross country newcomer senior Mykaila Dudley, will add depth to Hurt's roster, while sophomores Tiffany Evanego, Jasmine Gomez and Pariis Garcia will make the step up after competing on the Red Storm's modified team last fall.
"Kerri Butler and Stephanie Van Pelt should join Michelle to give us a powerful 1-2-3 punch that can place in the upper levels of any meet on our schedule," said Hurt. "Ashlin Conroy, Michelle Van Pelt, and Veronica Thompson all will challenge to break into our top five to make us a formable team to deal with. Pariis Garcia, Tiffany Evenego, and Jasmine Gomez complete the `great eight' sophomore class and along with senior Mykaila Dudley will provide some depth to our attack."
One announcement which promises to pay major dividends for the future of St. John's cross country was made during camp week as Hurt and senior Chelsea Trant have decided that Trant will redshirt the upcoming season as she continues to recover from a broken foot. Trant finished as the Red Storm's top runner at four meets last year, including the NCAA Northeast Regional and ECAC Championships, where she secured All-East honors after placing 22nd overall. Trant is expected to make a full recovery by next year's cross country season as Hurt will pair her with what promises to be a formidable junior class in St. John's quest for Metropolitan and BIG EAST honors.
"Being a Pharmacy major, which requires six years to earn a degree, we plan to not run senior Chelsea Trant this year in cross country but anticipate to have her back next year when we will have a highly competitive veteran team," said Hurt.

Rangers boss slams SPL over Setanta fiasco
Walter Smith claims the Scottish Premier League's power brokers should have resigned following the collapse of the Setanta television deal.
The Rangers chief believes the SPL's decision two years ago to snub Sky in favour of the Irish broadcaster accelerated a downward spiral which has led to Scottish football suffering a succession of humiliating results in Europe.
Smith said: "The people running our game knocked back Sky - in my opinion one of the best football broadcasters in the world - and took Setanta, a newly-formed company.
"They lost a fortune doing so and they are still all sitting in their positions. How can that be? We cost ourselves a fortune by bad decisions. And at the end of that, we (the clubs) go and suffer."
Setanta's UK operation went out of business this summer and the SPL clubs were forced to accept a vastly-reduced deal with Sky and ESPN.
Despite pointing the finger at the SPL, Smith believes the Scottish game's problems run deeper than that.
He said: "The problems in Scottish football are not new.
"The higher level of our own domestic player has dried up, and we can't afford to get the higher level of player in, so we are being hit on two fronts at the same time.
"And that situation has brought it around to what we have now, where some seasons we can look all right, and other seasons we don't look so clever. This is one of the years where we haven't started too well."
Smith's solution is for is for Rangers and Celtic to leave the Scottish game altogether.
He said: "Rangers and Celtic are ready to play in a big European league.
"Last season, I was criticised when I said that Rangers and Celtic bring in a level of football to Scotland which is higher than we have at the present moment.
"It might save football in Scotland, because if it continues the way it is going just now, we will have a problem. We will have no higher rated teams at all. That to me is the biggest problem of the lot."

Married, single, engaged, or unattached, you will never stop Miley Cyrus from flashing her underwear, or on days she's going commando, even a bit less.
Clothes are but a nuisance to this country girl turned gravel-voiced pop music star. She does not like clothing. Doesn't seem to spend too much on fashion ever, doesn't seem to like to wear much ever. And for this, well, gosh darnit, we've got to salute Miley for being a girl after our own hearts. Who doesn't want a girlfriend who doesn't give a crapola about shopping and mostly just likes to walk around half-nekkid, or, as she did this morning, flashing her bright bra left and right and then left again as she danced through the New Orleans Airport.
And, yeah, we looked. And we likely won't ever stop. Enjoy.
