An Army wife, denied full membership at a Fort Bragg spouses club because she's married to a female Army officer, was named Fort Bragg's 2013 "spouse of the year" Friday after an annual, national vote that spanned nominees from all military branches, NBC News has learned.The vote was conducted by email, with one email address per vote. Broadway has volunteered her time with tutoring other soldiers' kids in reading assisting housing for relocated soldiers among other charitable endeavors she performs for the military community of Fort Bragg.
In the online election held Tuesday, Ashley Broadway captured the Fort Bragg vote "by a country mile," said Babette Maxwell, founder of Military Spouse magazine and the Military Spouse of the Year award. Ballot totals were not revealed. As one of the 154 base-level winners, Broadway now is eligible to be nominated for Army "spouse of the year."
"A lot of people who voted never me met or talked to me or knew me from Adam. I know it was a statement to the Obama Administration, to Secretary (of Defense Leon) Panetta, to Senator (Chuck) Hagel — if he is confirmed (as defense secretary) — to the Pentagon and, really, to America that, yes, she is a military spouse and she needs to be recognized," Broadway told NBC News.
"There are things the government can do right now to make life a hell of a lot easier than what it is currently for those who are in same-sex marriages in the military," she added. "It was a lot of people saying, 'Enough's enough.' "
Babette Maxwell says, "There was a significant amount of meaning in what they were doing when they voted for Ashley."
(Continue reading below the fold.)
I can't help thinking this is indicative to a lot of homophobia. We see that clearly a critical mass of the troops support and respect Broadway's place in the military community. But she has been denied a place of belonging and acceptance in the community by a few small-minded people who sit on the board of the spouse club and wield their power in a petty fashion. After rejecting her, the board would would not even grant Broadway an audience to let her plead her case that she would be an asset to the group.
Advocacy group OutServe/SLDN reached out to Fort Bragg's military leadership on Broadway's behalf. The base leadership has refused to take action and the matter was left unresolved.
At the beginning of January, the Marine Corps circulated a memo that spousal clubs on their bases must admit same-sex partners or face eviction. Citing fears that a similar incident might happen in their ranks, the memo said:
[T]he Fort Bragg events had "caused quite a stir" and cautioned, "We do not want a story like this developing in our backyard."Congratulations to Broadway. She tells NBC, "I never thought in a million years I would be the one to advance the cause. If that's what it's going to take to get attention for all the military same-sex spouses, then so be it. But I do take this (Bragg 'spouse of the year' award) very seriously. And we'll see where it goes from here."
Broadway now is eligible to be nominated for Army "spouse of the year."
Update: to provide a sweet picture from Freedom to Marry:
"The president is absolutely focused on and aware of the need to further implement DADT [repeal], and to ensure that proper benefits are provided," Carney said. "You know, for more details, I would point you to the Defense Department, but this is an issue the president is aware of and it has his attention."
Hours after same-sex Army wife Ashley Broadway was named Fort Bragg's 2013 "spouse of the year," the on-base spouses club — that has for two months rebuffed Broadway's bid to join — fully reversed course and invited her "to become a full member," according to emails sent to NBC News and Broadway.What do you say? I'm working hard to remain gracious to the spouse club, who has resisted months of lobbying, and now finding themselves in the white hot spotlight of the national media, finally see that they've been acting like indefensible morons for months on end.
It's better than never coming to that realization. I hope Ashley accepts and shows them how very wrong they were. I trust she'll demonstrate community spirit with grace and class.

"Spread the infection"
Reviewed by Emmanuel Lund / Apr 02, 2014
Turn the world into a zombie paradise
It's time for those earthlings to truckle.
At least, that's what Armor Games' Infectonator lays out in this original title. Infectonator merges management and casual gameplay and dress it with a tuned sense of humor.
The goal is to spread the infection by sending zombies through population, upgrading their infecting skills and creating new zombie types in your lab. As you progress, more cities and regions will be unlocked and ready to be infected. Don't let human stop you with their weapons: make them fall in a ripple effect.
Of course, upgrades and power-ups aren't for free: you must unlock them with in-game currency. You can earn those coins by infecting people and collecting them. Otherwise, you'll have to get some extra coins packs via IAP.
Infectator is set in retro graphics. If you are keen of pixels, you are going to have a blast with this one.
The only catch of the app is that isn't well-balanced: it's more about managing than actually attacking people to infect them. More of the casual part of them game wouldn't harm anyone.
Regardless, a challenging and entertaining game for wicked minds.Developer's original description available here
Finally, the chase that we have all been waiting to die for!
Run all over the world with your favorite zombies chasing a hot chick!
Be the zombie that falls in love with our lovely news reporter.
From the #1 Hit Zombie flash game, Infectonator, here comes the side sequel of the game.
In this game, players will be able to control a horde of zombies going through all obstacles with utmost haste for the love of their (undead) life.
Key Features:
- Upgrade your zombie's speed, health, and many more!
- Unlock new zombies with their own unique powers!
- Collect mutation power ups and boosts and transform into powerful zombies!
- Collect coins just because you want to! and also to buy upgrades...
- Be surprised by the awesome pixel graphics that are served to you!

Not a bad game
Mantap gan!!
If you are looking for a good zombie game, then this is JUST the game for you.
After around an hour of playing I closed the game for a second to check the time. I opened the game again and was greeted by the complete removal of my progress thus far. Needless to say, I'm not too pleased about this.

Very well designed runner. Only problem is that the game modes a tad too fast at times, so it becomes difficult to grab power-ups.

As of Friday, June 21, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
SUWANEE -- Board of Education members Thursday night approved the $52 million purchase of district headquarters in Suwanee, ending a years-long lease with a private investment group.
Originally purchased in 2004, Gwinnett County Public Schools officials sold the Instructional Support Center in 2005 in order to generate the money to build two new elementary schools and part of a third one.
When it was sold in 2005, investors leasing it back to GCPS agreed to renovate the former manufacturing plant into a central office. The district had been leasing the property back since 2005.
Included in lease agreement details was the option for the district to buy the central office facility back on July 1, 2013. In a unanimous vote Thursday, the board approved its purchase for $52 million effective on the agreed-upon date.
Since 2005, the district has paid $26 million in lease payments.
Chief Financial Officer Rick Cost said that the decision to buy the building in 2004 -- and then again in 2013 -- was financially sound.
"Even though the dollar amount of leasing for nine years was higher than the original purchase price ($12.5 million), the fact is we've had nine years to use that money and use it for these three elementary schools," Cost said.
District spokeswoman Sloan Roach said that when the district sold the property in 2005 (for $17 million), it was "during a time when we had some extreme needs for classrooms."
Officials with GCPS used the proceeds from the 2005 sale to build Mulberry Elementary, Patrick Elementary and part of Lovin Elementary School.
Roach said that the district's "goal, all along, has been to buy the building and to own it."
The 370,000 square-foot facility sits on 46 acres and serves the needs of about 750 support staff, who are housed there. In addition, the space is used for school board meetings, training and professional development.
The ISC is located at 437 Old Peachtree Road N.W., Suwanee.

Funny (sarcasm) that they spend 52 million the day they increase our taxes. So in other words, the people of Gwinnett County are buying this building. And yet, our teachers, the people who work really hard to achieve what they achieve have not had a pay increase in five years. Bad management.

This is the second time the people of Gwinnett County are buying this building.
Along with all the rent paid.

I would love to know who owned the building and received the lease payments and made the profit on the purchase.
Linda 1 year, 11 months ago
GWINNETT INSTRUCTIONAL SC LLC owns the property, tax assessors website, the question is who owns GWINNETT INSTRUCTIONAL SC LLC ? Seems GWINNETT INSTRUCTIONAL SC LLC made a lot of money from Gwinnett county tax payers.
Why_not 1 year, 11 months ago
After checking with the online site for the Secretary of States office, it appears that everything is hidden within several legal firms. I have been unable to find the names of any officers of the LLC. Seems that this should be available under the open records act
Karl 1 year, 11 months ago
Please keep digging and let us know. Thanks.
GwinnettResident2001 1 year, 11 months ago
The LLC spent about $27MM in renovations on the building between the time it was sold for $17MM, so while the $52MM looks like a big spread, it's actually only an $8MM difference when you factor in the renovations.
Basically, the sale of the building amounted to a rather expensive loan (relatively speaking) to build 3 elementary schools in a shorter time frame than otherwise would have been possible.
motherinduluth 1 year, 11 months ago
If you want taxpayers to look at the "big picture", don't pick and choose. I believe the purchase order documents over $2000, which are publicly available, give an indication that many additional millions of taxpayer money was spent on renovations, "decorating", furnishing, and equipping the ISC during that time period. Also, should not the additional salaries and benefits for the other non-teaching ISC staff be considered in the cost? Also, as for the 3 elementary schools, what about funds from ESPLOST II and the 2006 increase in taxes (I believe there was a 2005 finding that GCPS had overtaxed because of "miscalculations"). It seems clear that GCPS knows that taxpayers, for the most part, willingly pay for education of their communities children. We pay in money, time, promotion, etc. But when we see our money spent on chamber salaries, coaches that make more than other teachers, self-"investigation", personal offices, etc. should we not expect proof of fiduciary duty from our elected representatives? My youngest just graduated from GCPS. In the last 15 years, I've seen the focus shift from the students and the local school to a completely unresponsive board that is based on cronyism. Class size increases, support staff decreases, and teacher furlough days all have meant less education for students. Look at the other central office buildings across the state and in true world class school districts across the country. We are at the top of the list for luxury accommodations for our superintendent (that are rather inaccessible to constituents that park at the bottom of the hill and walk up the staircases to the main desk) but not in educating our children. A little creative thinking would go a long way. How many billions of dollars could have been better spent?
RobFromNorcross 1 year, 11 months ago
Wonder how many office buildings increased from $17 million to $52 million in value in the last 8 years? Everyone knows what a boom time it has been...

Bling for bureaucrats. Cha ching for the well connected county elites. All on the taxpayer dime. Win win for everybody !!! [ taxpayers being nobodies ].

Where is the business case evaluation? Was it done? If so, was it publicly published, well before the purchase?

6 games in the first week...kind of annoying...
Wow. April will be pretty brutal with 18 of 27 games against 2013 playoff-contending teams (2 series with STL, 2 with the BUCS, ATL, TB).
And, may have to plan a trip to Boston for May. Does anyone know if next May will be the first time we play the Red Sox since 1975? Think it may be. That's going to be very interesting to watch. And, we'll be at the new Yankee Stadium in July just after the All Star break. Replays of '75 and '76. Sometimes I'm not sure of what I think about all the interleague games but those will be very cool--or at least nostalgic--matchups.

Ooooooooh, that Friday-Saturday-Sunday series @ Citi Field right at the beginning of the season sounds very relevant to my interests.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Reds play in Baltimore the first week in September. Again in the middle of the week. I won't be able to get up there because of this thing called work.
I wonder what weekend the Reds will have their HOF induction? It would cool to go see that.

BOISE -- Taking a chance has paid off big time for Leora Holland. The Salmon woman won $100,000 this week on the Idaho Lottery scratch game Extreme Green.
Holland usually just buys $1 scratch tickets on an infrequent basis, but on a recent visit to the Corner Store in Salmon she tried something different and bought a $10 lottery ticket.
I decided to treat myself to something a little more fun, said Holland who works in accounts payable for the Salmon School District. At first I thought I d only won $100. Then I realized it was $100,000! It s too good to be true.
Holland said she didn t believe it was a big winner until she had the ticket validated at the Idaho Lottery offices in Boise. She plans to pay some bills and invest the remaining amount with her winnings.
For their part in selling the winning ticket, the Corner Store in Salmon receives a $10,000 bonus from the Idaho Lottery.

Aloes are one of the most popular landscape and potted succulent plants grown in cultivation. They vary in size from barely 1" tall to over 40' tall and nearly as wide. They come in a variety of shades of blue, green, grey, purple, red etc. and a nearly equal variety of shapes. And, as a group, they are relatively easy, carefree plants to grow. If they never flowered they would still be extremely popular plants for gardeners, collectors, landscapers and public gardens. But they have the fantastic additional attraction of making an enormous and breathtaking variety of beautiful and fascinating flowers. This extra 'perk' makes aloes one of the premier choices of all succulent plants one can grow. The following is a pictorial introduction to aloe flowers that can be enjoyed in cultivated plants in the southwest US. This article will cover just the Aloe species starting with the letters a-c. Subsequent articles will provide examples of some of the rest. Read More

Few plants say the tropics more effectively than do tree ferns, yet thankfully many species of tree ferns are fairly cold hardy, enabling gardeners throughout the world to use these for decoration and landscaping in climates much less tropical than from where they originate. The tree fern is a commonly used plant in landscaping designs from Britain, the Pacific Northwest, the Mediterranean, Southern California, the Southeast US and in tropical climates all over the world. They are basically living works of art, as well as useful shade for smaller, understory, more tender tropical and subtropical plants in marginal climates. The following is a brief overview of some of the more commonly grown cold hardy tree ferns in cultivation. Read More
The purpose of this article is to give the reader some idea of what might be blooming in the succulent world this time of year (January) in the northern hemisphere.

Though January is over-represented by the Aloes, there are some other species blooming this month, too. Read More
There are several plant species that are called Christmas cacti, but the true Christmas cactus is the plant discussed below, Schlumbergera x buckleyi, a hybrid of some very similar holiday cacti, and is a very common plant in cultivation.

Palms are a mostly tropical species. However, thankfully, many palms can grow in subtropical and temperate climates, providing a wonderful 'touch of the tropics' to less than tropical climates throughout the world. This article is not about what these palms are (that article was already published a few weeks ago), but more about cold hardiness itself and how it relates to palm growing. As one will see there are many related complexities that pertain to marginal palm growing one might not guess at just thumbing through a list of cold hardy palms. Read More
Most readers may have no idea who Loran Whitelock was, and unless they were involved in collecting, selling and/or growing rare tropical plants. That would not be anything to feel bad about.

A traveling wave reactor is a type of Generation IV nuclear reactor that much of the nuclear industry anticipates can convert fertile material into nuclear fuel via nuclear transmutation in tandem with the burnup of fissile material. This particular design is very different from other kinds of fast-neutron and breeder reactors in their ability to utilize fuel efficiently without costly and impractical enrichment or reprocessing of uranium. TWRs instead directly use depleted uranium, natural (unenriched) uranium, thorium, spent fuel removed from light water reactors, or potentially a combination of these materials.
The "traveling wave" name refers to the fact that fission will not occur throughout the entire core, but remains confined to a boundary zone that slowly advances through the core over time. Theoretically, TWRs could run self-sustained for decades without having to remove and replace spent fuel from the reactor.
Some have criticized this implementation of the fast breeder reactor design as particularly difficult, especially given the fact that typical fast breeder reactors are already hard to build. Many have lauded the goal of addressing the global energy poverty with TWRs but have pointed out that its overall cost of construction is competitive with conventional nuclear power, and that isn't as low as fossil fuels. Bill Gates has invested deeply into the development of TWRs not, as he stated in an interview, because he "expects to make a ton of money on it," but because this Generation IV design is "very attractive from an economic point of view."

Underwater Robot Aids In Search For Plane
Tuesday, April 01, 2014
The three-week hunt for Malaysia Airlines flight 370 has turned up no confirmed sign of the Boeing 777, which disappeared March 8 with 239 people on board, bound for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur.
The search and investigation are now focused on the Indian Ocean. The U.S. Navy is involved, and has sent equipment from a Boston-area robotics company to help in the efforts. From the Here & Now Contributors Network, Gabrielle Emanuel of WBUR reports.

Product Description
Teaching children in the ways they learn words most effectively-with direct and explicit oral vocabulary instruction--this program features read-aloud stories and poems which are included within the lesson. Two-week lesson plans in thematically-organized units continually reinforce words and concepts to ensure mastery.
Teacher lesson plans include a material list with classroom supplies, page numbers for the appropriate concept cards, picture cards, student workbook pages, and blackline masters; a semi-scripted unit introduction; questions for each picture card; read-aloud story with bolded vocabulary words; and a daily lesson. The daily lesson cycles review and respond questions, extend & challenge activities which introduce additional words, comprehension checks, review, and assessments. Each lesson is also designed to include a "take-home" reproducible activity sheet with a poem or rhyme that's tied to the unit theme. A pacing chart at the beginning provides explanations of each day's tasks; each day is designed to take 20-25 minutes.
The included concept cards (12" x 14") and picture cards (5" x 7") help introduce key concepts and vocabulary words with the word/concept written on one side, and an illustration on the other. Both may be displayed around the schoolroom.
This teacher's book is designed to be used with the sold-separately Wordly Wise 3000, Book K, 2nd Edition. Neither can be used without the other.
4 units and 12 two-week lessons.

Henri Haapamäki, who left a powerful mark on Neste Oil Rally Finland this summer and piloted his Citroën C2 to an overwhelming class victory, prepared for Wales Rally GB by spending two days with co-driver Marko Salminen testing in Britain on tricky Welsh roads. In mid-November the talented pair, representing Hannu´s Rally Team, will start this classic WRC event in an Autosport Technology-prepared Citroën DS3 R3T and offer WRC3 category drivers a chance for revenge.
The last FRC round took place in Tampere and it was won by Ari Vihavainen of Heinola motorsports club. He led the rally from Friday´s start to finish, but most of the attention was focused on the championship battles. For the first time in the history of the series, no less than two of the championships went beyond the borders of Finland with Karl Kruuda winning in SM1 and Kaspar Koitla in SM2.
Karl Kruuda from Estonia has won the FRC rally and SM(FRC)1 in Turku. Juha Salo, who competes in SM2 and whose finish time was exactly the same as Kruuda´s , had to settle with second place overall as the winner was decided by the time the competitors set on the first special stage of the rally.
Teemu Suninen is ready for Neste Oil Rally Finland following a successful test in the Citroën DS3 R3T he will use as his prize for winning a prestigious competition. Suninen, 20, is making his debut on his country´s round of the FIA World Rally Championship from July 31-August 1 after he saw off three other rivals in an assessment organised by AKK Sports, the promoter of the Finnish championship and Neste Oil Rally Finland.
Jukka Ketomäki from Ylistaro has won overall and SM1 in SM Pohjanmaa Finnish Championship Rally. In the end, Ketomäki took the victory with his co-driver Kai Risberg by 19,2 seconds over Karl Kruuda from Estonia. Third place went to another southern neighbour, Kaspar Koitla, who added to a successful day for Estonia. Koitla was 30,7 seconds behind Ketomäki, the winner.

Mass Spectrometer
Mass spectrometer: Finnigan LCQ Deca XP Plus
Ionization mode: Positive ESI
Temperature: 300 C
Spray voltage: 4.5 kV
Sheath gas: 45 units
Sweep gas: 6 units
Isolation width: 1.5
Calibration standards were prepared as follows:
Acepromazine was administered to the horse, and serum samples were drawn 30, 45 min and 1, 2, 4, 6 and 24 hrs after dosing.
Internal Standard
Chlorpromazine at a concentration of 100 ng/mL (9:1 ACN:1 M acetic acid) was used as the internal standard.
Sample Preparation
0.5 mL of the calibration standard/horse serum sample was mixed with 0.6 mL of chlorpromazine internal standard. The standard/sample was then refrigerated for 30 min, centrifuged and the supernatant used for analysis. The resulting internal standard concentration in the calibration standard and the sample was 120 ng/mL of serum.
Results and Discussions
Full Scan LC-MS/MS Analysis
Figure 1 shows extracted ion chromatograms from fullscan MS/MS analysis of acepromazine (ACE), its major metabolite 2-(1-hydroxyethyl) promazine sulfoxide (HEPS) and the internal standard chlorpromazine. These chromatograms represent injection of horse serum containing 2 ng/mL of ACE and HEPS (40 pg on-column). The MS/MS spectra of the three analytes is also shown in Figure 1. The extracted ion chromatograms are generated by summing the intensities of the three most abundant ions in the MS/MS spectra as shown in Table 1.

A hard decision, social experiments, celebrity garage sales, and a double dose of Diddy. Here's your guide to be what's on TV tonight. FIND OUT WHAT TO WATCH AFTER THE JUMP NOTE: ALL TIMES EASTERN AND PACIFIC!!!
By 9am, the line outside Hall H for the LOST: THE FINAL SEASON panel with co-creators Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse was already 1000+ fans deep, and the presentation wasn't until 11am. But the 6000+ fans that eventually made it inside were in for a real treat. Cuse and Lindelof came armed with tons of clips and almost equal amounts of special guests, and didn't disappoint even the hardcores that had been camping outside the San Diego Convention Center's Hall H since the night before.
After a montage of some of the creators' favorite LOST-related fan films, Cuse and Lindelof showed the audience a very well done promo for a fake throwback show that supposedly aired in the 80s, and which covered the mysterious Dharma Initiative that is such a huge part of the LOST mythology:
This afternoon, Olivia Munn, Kevin Pereira, Blair Butler and producers behind G4's megahit ATTACK OF THE SHOW held court in Room 5AB of the San Diego Convention Center for a little over an hour. The line to get in looked like it went about half the length of the entire San Diego Convention Center, and we're willing to bet over 500 people had to be turned away in the end. Too bad. Everyone who did get in received a complimentary kazoo and glowstick (more on these later)Introducing the show was none other than Apple's "Steve Jobs," and we have his entire 4-minute address here. Fast forward to the end if you just want a glimpse of Ms. Munn stepping out to her adoring fans.

The show picks up after Rita has given birth to Dexter's baby, so it spares us from the whole gross/miraculous labor thing that happens to women.

THREE SHEETS Season 4 Sizzle Reel – Watch more Movie TrailersThis Monday night, July 20th, "Three Sheets" returns to television @ 10pm ET/PT on Fine Living Network (FLN). It's the start of Season 4, and host Zane Lamprey – a name that sounds like it should belong to the coolest sea creature EVER – is still traveling the world, drinking copious amounts of local alcoholic beverages, and following it up with… more booze. Occasionally, he eats bizarre foods, too, but usually is turned off by the taste and must wash it down with… more booze. In the United States, this would be called a drinking problem. But where Zane goes, the locals call this "way better than those crappy pamphlets at the tourism office," so they just laugh and laugh… and keep the beer/wine/rat poison flowing. Actually, I should let you know that this show in no way endorses irresponsible drinking. Lamprey is a pro, and can drink anyone under the table without losing his visuo-spatial perception, basic motor skills, or logic. Why Nick Nolte has not signed onto the show as Lamprey's faithful sidekick, I have no idea.

Not too long ago, about 20% of Screen Junkies readers likened us to the antichrist for having omitted T.A.R.D.I.S. from our list of Movie Time Machines. For those of you not in the know, T.A.R.D.I.S. is the inter-dimensional traveling phone booth from "Dr. Who," and not an elite task force of idiots, as the acronym may seem. An even smaller number of you may be aware that "Dr. Who" has a spinoff, called "Torchwood," airing on BBC America for the past few years. It's actually a pretty cool show – sort of like an "X-Files" meets "Buffy" meets funny accents and bad teeth (it's primarily based in Cardiff, Wales). And next week, Captain Jack and the covert operatives from Torchwood are getting a five part miniseries, the first seven minutes of which you can watch above. "Torchwood: Children of Earth" premieres five nights straight starting on Monday, July 20, 9:00 – 10:15 p.m. ET/PT on BBC AMERICA. 'Ere ah today's top links, guv'nah!

Yo, yo, yo Junkies! Welcome to Tuesday's edition of What To Watch Tonight. We've combed the listings once more to give you our best offerings. In addition to the All-Star Game (to which we paid solemn tribute) there's a lot of options tonight. Essentially Roadhouse or a furry orgy. You've got some tough calls to make. Are you really going to foresake Patrick Swayze?? FIND OUT WHAT TO WATCH AFTER THE JUMP…
The MLB All Star Game is on tonight, and what better way to prepare you for it (other than legitimate baseball news, which I for one know none of) than with a girl gallery of a moderately famous actress who has %$&*d dated a buncha baseball players. That's right, it's Alyssa Milano. She's been linked to Brad Penny, Carl Pavano, Barry Zito, and Russell Martin. Although it seems her days of pretending she's Susan Sarandon's character in Bull Durham are over (she's engaged to a CAA agent now… he probably repped a baseball player on some movie), her love for the game still goes on. She's recently released a book entitled Safe At Home: Confessions of a Baseball Fanatic. A word from Alyssa: "I used to sleep nude – until the earthquake."While we try to digest what that quote means, YOU should check out more hot photos of Alyssa after the jump!
There's nothing like a trip to the ball field in the summer. The roar of the crowd, the organist's familiar theme, and the crack of the bat — all events that invigorate our senses. In honor of tonight's 2009 MLB All-Star Game we sat down to discuss which baseball films had the greatest impact on us as people, nay Americans. It sparked heated debate and words were said that cannot be taken back (Patrick called me a f** so I had my manager sucker punch him), but despite the brouhaha we were able to pare down the list to include the true Home Run Kings. So please join us as we pay salute to our national pastime with this montage of cinema's greatest hits (and we threw one TV show in there because it's too good to pass up).
Okay fight fans! Tonight's recommended viewings all linger around the theme of fighting for survival in one way or another. So why not watch with a friend? And then why not punch them upside when they're not looking. I think you'll both get a pretty good laugh out of it. FIND OUT WHAT TO WATCH AFTER THE JUMP…
"Entourage" made its triumphant return last night, and with it came the return of the adorable Emmanuelle Chriqui. She took a long break from playing Sloan, Eric's smoking hot girlfriend – much to the dismay of every heterosexual male who watches it in hopes of seeing attractive women (the same ones who watch to hear Ari say something cool that they can co-opt for themselves). The producers and writers must've realized they were all morons for not featuring her on the show, and now she's back. All is right with the world (except the economy, of course).A word from Emmanuelle: "You know, "Entourage" is the biggest surprise of my career. It's never really been my dream to be on a TV series. But every pilot season, my agent wants me to do something. So this time I said, 'Okay, look, if I do television, I want to do an HBO show.'"It's no surprise you'll find hot photos of Emmanuelle after the jump.
Happy Saturday, junkies! If you haven't already read our weekend preview, you might have missed that Comedy Central ran episodes of both "The State" and "Stella" in the wee hours of the morning. They likely didn't run this: an NSFW short written and driected by, and starring David Wain, Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter – a.k.a. Stella. It's my favorite of the "Stella Shorts," which preceded the Comedy Central show (a show which had Star Wars-level production value by comparison). Look for Moon and Iron Man 2's Sam Rockwell as a pizza delivery guy. With music by John Cougar Mellencamp.
Network: Comedy CentralCast: David Wain, Michael Ian Black, Michael ShowalterSynopsis: The official synopsis reads: A sketch comedy show that follows the absurd adventures of Michael, Michael and David. But that doesn't do this show justice. It only lasted a season, but is available on DVD and we strongly recommend you pick it up, especially Disc 1, which includes, "Office Party," possibly my favorite 22 minutes of Prime Time TV EVER.Status: Cancelled
This weekend we're certain you'll be catching Brüno at least once. (If you're not convinced of its worthiness, read Andy Rooney's review here.) There's also I Love You, Beth Cooper, which looks good and grating, other than Hayden Panettiere's involvement. But if you just feel like staying in, or you physically can't get outside because of obesity issues or allergies, we've got a cornucopia of televised delicacies for your discerning palate. And none of them are cooking shows. FIND OUT WHAT TO WATCH AFTER THE JUMP…
I'll be honest; I haven't watched anything related to the WWE since 4th grade. I always felt that I needed a taste for Natty Light, trucker hats, and trailer homes to in order to fully appreciate the sport. And I had none of the those. But after scrambling to find a topical subject for today's girl gallery – and landing one – I now may be inclined to make a habit of WWE Friday Night Smackdown. Because there's always a chance that beautiful "Diva" Michelle McCool will show up. She's the current Divas World Champion, and, more importantly, used to be a 7th grade school teacher. I leave the immature schoolboy jokes to you.A word from Michelle: "I, like most of the other Divas, get this question often. Though the girls have done some absolutely beautiful, classy shoots with Playboy, it's not for me. For now, I'll be keeping my clothes on."Sh*t. Anway, check out some beautiful, classy photos of a scantily-clad Michelle after the jump!
The What: WWE Friday Night SmackDown is a professional wrestling television program for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) that is currently airing on MyNetworkTV in the United States. The show's name is also used to refer to the SmackDown brand, in which WWE employees are assigned to work and perform on that program; the other programs and brands are Raw and ECW. And that, junkies, is about the most corporate description we could borrow from wikipedia ever. The When: Fridays 8-10PM Eastern on My Network TV & WWE HDOfficial Site: http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/
Don't worry, dearest readers. we've once again combed through the listings to bring to you the bestest, mostest interestingest television viewing options for the evening. Unless, of course, you're into Samantha Who? and Grey's Anatomy. In which case, what the mother-effing eff are you doing here? Go read Holy Taco… girl.FIND OUT WHAT TO WATCH AFTER THE JUMP…
Alright Junkies, we're halfway through the week. You did it. You're a champ. Why not reward yourself by relaxing by the soft, cathode flicker of your television whilst sipping the finest of boxed wines? We've got some pretty great suggestions for tonight but felt it necessary to point out a strange programming phenomenon that is also taking place. While combing the listings we noticed programs called "15 and Pregnant", "16 and Pregnant" and "Obese and Pregnant" are all airing at some point across three different channels. Who's getting all these teenagers and morbidly obese women pregnant? I want an APB on Tracy Morgan immediately. See what to watch after the jump…

Mark Twain said it best, there are "lies, damned lies and statistics." It's hard to tell which is which after closely reviewing the latest hatchet job on solar energy by the Koch brothers' front group, The Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA).

Dear Brian,
I understand the issue concerning proprietary formats and that an aim is
preservation. I've said all along that masters should be stored in a neutral
format. My issue concerns what happens at a presentation level. Acrobat and
Flash have clear value in delivering material, they do things that HTML can
(and never will) do. This is why they are so widely used..., by Government
departments as well as private sector organisations.
A major weakness of HTML delivery is the control that the user has over the
display of a page. This is a great strength for those with accessibility
issues, but for the designers of the pages, it is a major headache when
looking at how the pages will display as the results cannot be guaranteed.
If someone is trying to recreate a page in the style of the original just
using HTML, it will not work. This is where Acrobat scores heavily as the
results are predictable, cross-platform, every time. It is also portable and
will work on PDAs, offline, etc.
On the issue of IT developers hijacking users - can you name one instance
where this has ever happened? The BT example is not strictly the same issue,
as this was a patented technology that they registered and by all accounts
is very weak if challenged legally anyway as researchers in Xerox actually
"invented" hyperlinking about 20 years previously. The only comparable
occurrence is with GIFs where Unisys have enforced their rights to the
underlying compression algorithms - not on the users of the files, but on
the companies that make the tools to create them - as long as you are using
a tool that is licensed to create GIFs, you are OK.
I think the nervousness over proprietary formats is unjustified - formats
such as PDF are so widespread, that Adobe would be committing commercial
suicide if they were to try to introduce charging. Again, I ask the question
raised in a previous e-mail - if proprietary formats are to be avoided does
this mean that NOF-funded projects should avoid using: cassette tapes, CDs,
DVDs (invented by Philips), DV video tapes, VHS video tapes (invented by
JVC), 8MM video tapes (invented by Sony), APS film (invented by a consortia
of film companies)?
I am also concerned that we are losing sight here of the end users - surely
these projects should also be about opening access to and delivering
vibrant, exciting, educational content. There is a risk that in the desire
to chase ultimate non-proprietary, standards-based delivery (which is a
great aim), the end result could be bland or geared to the lowest common
denominator. The "shareholders" here are the population of the UK - what do
they want?
Acrobat does not specifically benefit developers/consultants either - we use
it, but I would not dream of charging someone to convert a document, as the
software is available and cheap and it is as easy as printing a document.
The whole point with Acrobat is that you use an original (non-Acrobat)
document to create a PDF, thereby solving the issue of preservation and
enabling enhanced presentation for those users that need it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big supporter of NOF, UKOLN and the NOF Digi
funding stream and do firmly believe there should be standards, but I'm just
concerned that the NOF projects could spend a lot of time (and money)
chasing some standards or trying to overcome some of the limitations of
HTML, when there are widely used technologies out there that do the job
I'm just keen to stimulate debate - any thoughts/comments?

Subject: Re: pre digitised conversion to html
Deleted questions which aim to make proprietary formats seem a better
choice than HTML.
Nobody is arguing that proprietary formats do not have their advantages.
If they didn't there wouldn't be lively discussions on this subject!
However you seem to be missing an important factor of the NOF-digitise
programme which is the digitising of our cultural heritage for long term
Proprietary formats are, by definition, owned by someone, normally large
commercial companies. Such companies have to act on behalf of their
shareholders e.g. to maximise dividends for them (I'm sure other are
more au fait with relevant Companies acts).
Ownership of proprietary formats is a potential gold mine for companies.
We have a clear example of that at present with BT claiming the patent
of hyperlinks in the US (the patent has expired elsewhere). They are
claiming royalties from one of the large ISPs in the States and if they
are successful they will chase others.
There is nothing to stop other companies doing likewise - and indeed one
good argue that companies are obliged to maximise dividends as BT are
trying to do.
So the key issue isn't the functionality, widespread deployment or
accessibility of proprietary formats, but being hostage to fortune to
the business decisions of mainly large American IT companies (which, as
we have seen has taken a downturn in recent years and post Sep 11).
It's also worth pointing out that use of proprietary formats is not only
beneficial to the companies owning the formats, but also software
developers, consultants, etc. who have expertise in the formats.
However what is good for these groups is not necessarily good for the
content owners of the funders.

Compass Business Solutions Provides Training at Upcoming Infocomm Orlando Conference in June
Compass Business Solutions, the nation´s leading provider of training for Cisco´s TelePresence product line, provides training at Infocomm in June, the leading audio/visual industry conference and trade show
Henderson, NV (PRWEB) April 24, 2013
Compass Business Solutions, a company who offers more training options for Cisco´s TelePresence product line than any other learning company, makes Cisco Certification Training available to Infocomm attendees for the seventh year in a row. The courses provided by Compass contribute to Infocomm CTS certification renewal requirements. Infocomm has offered audio/visual certifications that are recognized for credibility and integrity for more than 30 years. Compass has also made these training courses available to Cisco Live attendees for the past three years, following Cisco´s acquisition of Tandberg.
"With both Infocomm (June 8-14) and Cisco Live (June 23-27) in Orlando, it is the perfect opportunity for conference attendees to earn certifications and for Cisco partners to complete their partner requirements," stated Jules Trono, President of Compass. "Compass-provided courses have been contributing to Infocomm Renewal Units since 2008. Completing both weeks of training achieves the 30 RU´s needed to maintain the CTS certification." Compass is the largest provider of telepresence and videoconferencing training in the US and also offers private training sessions globally.
"Many of our students have indicated that they hold CTS certifications, and that this certification is important for their careers," stated Jason Ball, Sr. Instructor with Compass. "We receive a lot of feedback requesting access to our courses in conjunction with attending Infocomm so our students can save on travel costs. Making the courses available so students can attend the show and then training just makes sense."

A Maiden Elementary School classroom went live on Wednesday with the Discovery Channel.
Students in Aleshia Abernathy's fourth-grade class all participated in a live episode of Discovery Education's Seasonal Science Stream that is broadcast to more than 30 classrooms throughout the nation and around the globe.
The monthly stream is sent out live to classrooms as an educational aid that aims to blend interactive, hands-on activities with digital, pre-recorded slides, said Brad Fountain, director of instructional implementation for Discovery Education.
Under the arched roof of First Presbyterian Church on Main Avenue, a group of Newton seniors bounced around a large yellow balloon.
It was a game of improvised volleyball — one of the many good-fun competitions and activities that some Seniors Morning Out (SMO) members participate in five days a week.
On Wednesday, Newton SMO coordinator Robin Curtis tossed the balloon into the group, and they slapped it around a bit. Some of the seniors floated the "volleyball" up into the air, but most rocketed the balloon across the room, smacking one another in the face.
Thieves stole 950 pennies Monday night from a convenience store in Catawba.
Police say unidentified suspects broke into the Bunker Hill Exxon in Catawba and stole $9.50 worth of pennies. The thieves did not steal anything else, according to a Catawba County Sheriff's Office incident report.
The crooks cut a telephone line, damaged an alarm box and broke an exterior glass window for the $10 heist.
The incident is under further investigation, according to the report.
Other incidents reported in Catawba County include:
March 20
Donations of time, money and supplies are needed for an April event that will provide a variety of care for the region's homeless veterans.
Veteran organizations, medical personnel, social service representatives and community leaders from the Hickory area will hold a "Stand Down" event to provide services for homeless veterans, needy veterans and any other community members in need of help April 20.
Catawba County government approved almost $300,000 for repairs at schools in the Newton-Conover and Hickory Public school systems. One project will replace HVAC systems at Shuford Elementary, while another will repair a sinkhole near the baseball complex at Hickory High.
In other education news, the team of spellers from South Newton Elementary won the sixth annual Red Hot Spelling Bee presented by The Observer News Enterprise. The fun night of team-spelling raised funds for Newton-Conover Education Foundation.
