itemis: Innovative Partner for IT-Services
itemis is an independent IT consultancy company that develops powerful software for enterprise applications, embedded systems and mobile applications.
In technical language one identifies the approach of itemis as being model based or rather model driven software development. The development of software based on models is largely automated and thus supports the industrialization of IT-processes.
The model driven approach is also used by itemis in the development of tools for embedded systems.
To make the software development process more flexible and lean, itemis primarily draws on Scrum, one of the leading agile project management methods.
itemis AG has established itself as an industry-neutral technology leader in the field of model driven software development (MDSD) thanks to its extensive research activities.
With its comprehensive range of services the independent IT consultancy firm enables a continuous software development process. Training, consulting and project support are as much a part of the services such as application development as well as the service and support for tools and applications.
itemis AG is a reliable and innovative partner for its customers in all project phases - from the engineering of the requirements to the development and documentation to testing and roll-out of the solution.
Model Driven Software Development
Model driven software development deals with the automation of software development. Traditional programming by hand, which is extremely error-prone, time consuming and expensive becomes more and more obsolete.
Through the initiation of model driven methods, a separation between the description of functional and technical requirements is achieved. This is of particular advantage to very large IT projects because the increasing complexity becomes controllable.
In the model driven approach, only the essential parts of the software are modeled. Less important details in the models are intentionally abstracted - in favor of a more compact representation. A generator, which is a specially adapted tool of itemis, then automatically generates the executable application from the models that contain the technical information.
Result: The efficiency of the development process increases significantly because through the automation, the quality of the software is improved. In addition, the development costs and the cost of maintenance are much lower than with traditional programming.
The separation of functionality (long-lived) and technology (short-lived) also leads to increased investment security.
MDSD: Enterprise applications and embedded systems
Model driven software development was originally a way to create traditional enterprise applications. For example, management systems for banks and insurance companies or production control systems in the automotive industry. It has however been developed substantially further in recent years by itemis and transferred to a completely different industrial sector: The embedded systems.
These small computers are increasingly becoming the foundation of our industrial development, because they control important processes in production facilities, aircraft and cars.
Agile software development with Scrum
In the implementation of projects, itemis applies agile methods - and this is primarily with Scrum. The agile project management has the intent of making the software development process more flexible and leaner than traditional process models. The focus thereby lies more on the targeted goals. Therefore it will not only consider the technical, but also the social problems in software development.
Eclipse: itemis-tools are open source
The products and services of itemis consistently follow the open-source business model. The tools for model driven software are readily available through the market-leading development platform "Eclipse" free of charge. Although such freely available open-source solutions do not cover all needs of the user. That's why itemis offers its customers individual solutions. "Eclipse" is also the basis for the development of these tools that are specially-tailored to the needs of customers as well as being offered as a product.

The crowning glory
Tony Jardine expects big things from Sebastian Vettel in Brazil - if he can hold off Lewis Hamilton.
Last Updated: 24/11/11 4:57pm
What if Sebastian Vettel captures a world record for pole positions in a season, then caps it off with a win?
That would certainly be the crowning glory for the double World Champion, who would then seriously be able to enjoy a samba with the ultra-successful Red Bull Racing team afterwards!
It would be brave to bet against that happening in the land that bred Ayrton Senna and Emerson Fittipaldi, but not so stupid when you stop to consider this high-altitude track that goes anti-clockwise, wrenching drivers' necks, and the precarious weather patterns that can prevail.
Look no further than Lewis Hamilton to challenge for the win; no doubt he's already rubbing his hands together at the prospect of gallons of rain washing down the bowl that is the Interlagos circuit, as it rises from the original swamp of a lagoon in its basin.
Hamilton, fresh from his reputation-saving win in Abu Dhabi, returns to the scene of his dramatic 2008 World title triumph, taken on the last corner of the last lap of the Brazilian GP on a track that has seen many title shoot-outs.
But this year will be contested for bragging rights going into 2012. "We want to go into the winter off the back of another win", said Hamilton.
"It's a fast track and a passionate crowd, but I hear it's been raining heavily in Sao Paulo so if it rains on Sunday anything could happen!"
Hamilton is capable of great drives, as he proved here in 2009; starting 17th and climbing to third by the finish. My money is on the revitalised Brit for victory.
Vettel is, of course, the favourite, so play safe if you wish, but he is wary of the weather: "If it rains, aquaplaning can be extreme here," he has warned.
That said the German does work to try to combat the anti-clockwise nature of the circuit that sits high above the shanties of outer Sao Paulo.
"The strain on neck muscles is such that I do special training, but I still love the track and we will try to win to add to the highs of an already phenomenal season," said last year's race winner.
Whilst Vettel may have to ward off the threat of Hamilton and McLaren, Lewis, in addition, may have to contend with the wrath of the partisan Brazilian crowd who chant, cheer and beat drums incessantly to a very Latin beat.
Brazilians love motor sport and adore their heroes, such as Senna and Fittipaldi, so they are bound to be jingoistic about Rubens Barrichello in possibly his last Grand Prix.
They'll also be vociferous in their support of Felipe Massa, who has been involved in no less than six separate on-track accidents with Hamilton this season. The fact that it was Massa who won the race in 2008, but ultimately lost the World Championship by one point to Hamilton, who slithered home in fifth to snatch the crown away (that the Brazilian had held for 15 seconds), also goes against the McLaren driver.
Sympathy will be with Massa, who will be celebrating his tenth year in F1: six of them, and one hundred GP's, with Ferrari. That support could well propel Massa onto the podium ahead of his Ferrari team mate, Fernando Alonso, who, despite his second place in Abu Dhabi - his 20th for the team - seems to be happy that the season is drawing to a close.
Another man who clinched his World Championship at Interlagos was Jenson Button in 2009, for Brawn GP.
Like Hamilton, he has never won on this track but he wants to put that right. He needs a good result anyway, to be sure of second place in the world standings, as Alonso is just ten points behind - despite Button winning three GPs this season and Alonso just one, at Silverstone in July.
"It would be a great feeling to win here which would give a big boost for 2012," said Button. "I have struggled in the past in qualifying, but raced well at a track that holds so many memories for me, but also its history is very special. I am determined to win my fourth GP of the year."
Seven of the last ten Brazilian GPs have been affected by incidents requiring the Safety Car to be deployed. Teams will have to cater for this possibility in their strategy for the race, a point already well made by Norbert Haug, Mercedes motorsport boss.
He will no doubt be hoping that Nico Rosberg can repeat his sixth place, or better, in Abu Dhabi, as he was sixth last year in Brazil, whilst team mate Michael Schumacher was seventh. There is every chance they will both be in the top ten again, especially as the powerful Mercedes engine will help counter the altitude that can reduce engine output.
Barrichello has never won his home Grand Prix and suffered cruel mechanical problems when in a position to do so, but he still savours his home fixture. His Grandfather lived near the track and, as a young karter, Rubens used to climb the wall and watch his hero Ayrton Senna practice.
"There is huge emotion here at this track for me," said Barrichello. "Naturally this is the best week and best race of the year for me. The track is good for overtaking, although you need good brakes and a powerful engine."
Rubens may just get the top ten placing he yearns for after a very difficult season, but it would be fitting if he could do it in front of his adoring public who saw their hero's title challenge evaporate in 2009, when team mate Button did just enough to take the crown.
Sahara Force India have scored points in twelve out of 18 races and want to secure sixth place in the World Constructors' Championship. Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta were eighth and ninth in the last race and are a good bet for top ten finishes, which should help them retain the precious prize-money-paying place.
Sauber returned to form in Abu Dhabi, but will need to carry that form to the bumps of the Carlos Pace Interlagos circuit if they are to take the fight for seventh place in the Constructors' Championship to Toro Rosso.
Mexican Sergio Perez should expect many of his home fans to make the trip to Sao Paulo, as he battles for honours; just as Pastor Maldonado will expect a sizeable Venezuelan crowd to make the trip to watch him try and make the Williams work over the undulating track, just as Nico Hulkenberg did when he claimed a sensational pole position for Williams in 2010.
Despite Red Bull's Mark Webber, a former Williams man himself, winning here in 2009, he remains an outside bet for a repeat this year, as I have Hamilton, Vettel and Massa as my podium finishers.
The fact remains that the Brazilian Grand Prix has a history of dramatic events, which have changed the course of the race.
The most graphic time came in 2003 when rain fell so hard it would have been easier to race a boat around. Top drivers like Schumacher lost control over streaming rivers; Alonso and Webber survived huge crashes; and Fisichella thought he'd won in a Jordan, which caught fire at the end of the race.
He was eventually declared winner over Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari after an FIA court ruling. Let's hope there is a clear cut winner on Sunday and I hope it's Hamilton!

Orci And Kurtzman On Being Offered 'Star Trek'
As reported by Newsarama.com, Orci and Kurtzman, sharing their expertise with film school students, explained what it had been like to have been offered Star Trek XI. "It was daunting, but it was also like, well if we can't do it, then no one can," said Orci. "No, not exactly. But it felt like we had been called to duty and it would have felt cowardly to back away just because 'oh well, it has been forty years, what can we do?'"
Kurtzman added that "as daunting as it was, because it has such a die-hard fan base and it has forty years of rules that you can't re-write...the thing that I think compelled us to do it, is that it's a very, very rare to be handed a franchise that you loved as a kid, that you grew up on. 'Are you kidding me, you want to give us 'Star Trek', are you insane? You're going to do that?' And we at first we were scared, not because we didnt think it was worthy, it was we didn't [feel that]...we were worthy of it. So it became kind of about thinking, 'all right, well God, if we were going to do this, what did we really love about it, what inspired us when we were kids? And how do we get back to that feeling? And what was that feeling about for us?' And ultimately, I think, it was very much about Kirk and Spock and that bridge crew. That was a big part of it. So what got us through the fear was the excitement of that opportunity, which really comes probably once in a lifetime."
Like others associated with the film, Orci denied that Star Trek XI was a prequel. "Our version of 'Star Trek' is not exactly a prequel," he explained. "It is in some ways and you will have to see it to label it exactly. Yeah, 'canon,' that is a word that was invented for 'Star Trek,' meaning, 'does it fall within the continuity of this forty-year puzzle?'"
One thing that Orci and Kurtzman found surprising was that in all its long history, Star Trek had never covered how the original series crew had met. "...it was amazing when we went back to look at 'Star Trek', no one had ever done kind of the story about how the original crew came together," said Orci. "So we actually went back and kind of looked...theres five thousand hours of 'Star Trek' and no one covered how they all met. So in a way that was liberating because...nothing had stated about how that happened exactly."

Re: Orci And Kurtzman On Being Offered 'Star Trek'
They didn't outright say it, but they IMPLIED it is a reboot.
I wish they would just say it though.
I might not be the smartest person who posts on these forums, but even I can tell when it is implied it's a reboot.

Re: Orci And Kurtzman On Being Offered 'Star Trek'
What is a reboot to you? Starting over with a new canon?
And just because you can read that something is implied doesn't mean it is true.
I frankly do not care one bit if it is a true reboot in the Batman Begins fashion, a sorts reboot in the Superman Returns fashion or a straight up prequel.
I only have 2 requirements for this film
1) I leave the theater with a wow feeling
2) It helps bring Trek back from the dead...
That is all
I don't know... I didn't go.

That basically works for me, and as I've said many times in the past few months, as long as it feels like TOS, then I'll be happy. I think it will. Certainly Nimoy's presence will no doubt have a lot to do with that.

One other thing that would make me happy Temis would be the inclusion of Jerry Goldsmith's Enterprise theme from TMP, but somehow I doubt that will happen. But it would be kind of a cool way for them to connect this movie with the beginning of the film series, in a subtle way.

Written by RRW
According to something called Climate Change Corp: Millions of people are predicted to become climate refugees as global warming increases. A new international pact will be needed to protect their rights to live.
Here is a portion of this overly long article, if you want to laugh or cry you can read the rest yourself.
Global warming caused by human-induced greenhouse gas emissions has been linked to a host of environmental disasters. These include sea-level rise, flooding, spells of droughts and cold and other extreme weather conditions such as frequent hurricanes and cyclones. As such natural catastrophes push inhabitants to flee to safer places, environmental refugees are fast becoming an international security issue.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that there will be 150 million environmental refugees by 2050. The Institute for Environment and Human Security, affiliated with United Nations University, estimated the number of environmental refugees at 20 million in 2005 and predicted the number could be 50 million as early as 2010.
In spite of millions in danger of becoming refugees, at present there is no international law to protect their rights. UNHCR, the United Nations' refugee agency, does not recognise climate or environment refugees as these categories are not included in the list of legal refugees under the UN's 1951 Refugee Convention. The Convention currently defines a legal refugee as a person who has fled his or her country due to persecution by the state for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.
Anthony Simms, head of the climate change programme at UK-based New Economic Foundation, and the author of a book titled "Environmental Refugees: The Case for Recognition" argues that environmental refugees should be given UN refugee status as environmental displacement of people amounts to "environmental persecution". Simms argues that developed nations should take responsibility as climate change comes a result of their policies.
So far advocates of traditional "persecuted" refugees are resisting adding the climate refugees to the mix.
For a little balance, our friends at Blue Ridge Forum have a post tonight to help bring some sanity back to the climate debate with an article entitled, "Exposing the Dangerous Deceptions of Climate Extremists" here.

This theme is not working with WP E -Commerce for me. I did a fresh install of a new database and the Robust theme. WP E -Commerce works for my Default 2011 Theme and 2010 Theme, but not with Robust.
The thing that isn't working is the page for individual products. There is no content on the page at all. It doesn't give me a 404 error. The page displays, but there is no content on it.
Can anyone help me on how to install this to my blog on wordpress?
Follow the documentation videos it explains this very well.

Please check. Regards,
Uploading a new dummy content file. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you Bluz!
I was wondering how to update the timthumb script for the Robust theme. In other sites, i just replaced the timthumb.php file and it worked. With Robust, it broke all the images even though the path was correct. Is there something special that I have to do to get it updated? Any information you have will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! Dennis
it shouldn't break all the images basically. If you re-download the theme you should have the lastest version of timthumb as well, it comes with it and it works properly for me.
If you still get stuck, send me a link to your site with your wordpress admin and password from the contact form on my profile page.
Thanks! I'll have the purchaser re-download it.
Theme Update: Version 1.9 – 27/11/2011 – Updated the Timthumb script and updated the dummy content file.
Hi, great theme – very happy
Quick question – is it possible to disable the slider from the homepage (root page) ?
So that the homepage looks the same as the other pages? (i.e. no slider box, reduced colour area underneath the nav..)
Please advise – many thanks
It is possible but it would take some custom coding. Shot me an email from my profile page and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks for the beautiful theme!
We have a client who has requested that we resize the homepage slider to 640×478 px.
I tried changing the dimensions in style.css by tweaking this line:
slider-holder {height:478px; width:640px; background:url(images/slider-holder.png) no-repeat top left; }
It resized the slider container, but the smaller image (640×478) was then stretched to 940×330 px.
We're using the Fading Slider, so I also tried adding the new dimensions to that section in the header.php file, but it made no visible difference.
How would you recommend resizing the slider container and image? We will also need to reposition the entire slider so it is centered underneath the header and doesn't look oddly off center at the new size.
Thank you!
hey , great theme .
i have two questions .
how can i make the footer footer stick to bottom .
and when i creat a blog page how can i control the title of the page ,

Hi Paz!
Thanks for updating your theme for WP 3 .3!
One quick tip please… I want to have different pagename background image on each page / post. Any thoughts on that?
Any estimated time when your Support Forums will be back up for this theme?
Hi there! I have my theme loaded, but I'd like to put in the dummy content. I see I have an xml file titled such that I believe it is dummy content, but I don't know how to load it to the theme. How do I get that file in the correct place so that the dummy data shows up for me and I can just edit it instead of creating new pages and such? Thank you!
Hi, Bluz.. I like very much the colors of this site. I would like to know if you will make this theme a Responsive ready. At this days is impossible to have a theme without a mobile compatible. Thanks

Round Rock, TX (PRWEB) August 09, 2012
The United Association of Storm Restoration Contractors (UASRC) recently came to the assistance of multiple homeowners in need during the past month as part of their ongoing community outreach efforts. The events were held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, St. Louis, Missouri, and Charlotte, North Carolina. . The UASRC mission is to promote the highest ethical standards in the catastrophe restoration industry. The UASRC adheres to a code of professional conduct, educate property owners about the insurance restoration process and give back to the community through outreach and charitable programs.
The following projects were completed over the last 30 days
June 30, 2012: The UASRC assisted homeowner Ruby Freemon of St. Louis, Missouri, replacing her siding and roof. ABC Supply donated the Mrs. Freemons new siding and Allied Building Products donated the GAF shingles. UASRC founding members Grace Homes and Mastercraft Exteriors were the lead contractors on this project.
July 17, 2012: The UASRC assisted homeowner Melanie Sturgis of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, replacing her roof. This project was completed in conjunction with Rebuilding Together OKC. ABC Supply generously donated shingles manufactured by GAF . UASRC founding members Hoffman Weber Construction and Reroof America Contractors were the lead contractors on this project.
July 18, 2012: The UASRC assisted homeowner Eulean Davidson of St. Louis, Missouri. Due to unfortunate circumstance Mrs. Davidson was going to be unable to replace her roof after is sustained hail damage in the recent storms. Fortunately the UASRC was able to help Eulean and furnish new GAF shingles for her replacement roof. UASRC founder Canopy Construction was the lead contractor on this project.
July 19, 2012: The UASRC assisted homeowner Renee Davenport of St. Louis, Missouri, with the replacement of her roof. This project was completed in conjunction with Rebuilding Together STL. The UASRC would like to thank ABC Supply for the generous donation of GAF shingles. UASRC founding member American Home Specialists was the lead contractor on this project.
July 27, 2012: Gwendolyn Stover: The UASRC assisted homeowner Gwendolyn Stover of Charlotte, North Carolina in replacing her roof. Mrs. Stover was the victim of an unscrupulous contractor that took her money without making the needed repairs. Through the support of our membership the UASRC was able to arrange for a replacement roof using Owens Corning shingles. UASRC founding member Precision Roof Contractors was the lead contractor on this project.
After storms hit an area, homeowners are often approached by transient roofing companies to assist with insurance claims and repairing the damage. This often leads to homeowners getting scammed and ending up in a predicament of being out money and not being able to complete their project. UASRC members will be instantly recognizable with their credentials and UASRC identification badges. As a best practice, you should look for the following to identify a legitimate roofer:
The UASRC was formed in part to give property owners the information they need to make an informed decision in regards to their storm related repairs. Our facebook page UASRC Facebook and website at http://www.uasrc.org are both sources of information related to the storm restoration industry. The UASRC also serves as a resource for property owners and contractors that have fallen victim to disreputable contractors, and insurance claim related issues.

I hope someone has an explanation. Obviously I cannot attach any file, as it's not allowed.
I uninstalled it and quite frankly I don't know if I want to re install it "again".
I still have an installation DVD for Poser 8(2010), as it was on Vista 32bit I wonder if I can install this one on a Windows 7, 64 bit ?
Thanks in advance.

'Supernatural' Season 9 episode 15: Was 'Thinman' too meta?Add to Favorites | Supernatural
In the immortal words of Kevin Tran (Osric Chau): Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) need to get over it on "Supernatural."
Seriously, not even the ghost of their murdered friend can get Sam and Dean to stop fighting? That didn't seem right when the episode first aired, and a week later, it's still an injustice. Pair that with Tuesday (March 4) night's too meta episode, "Thinman," and we're reaching ridiculous levels of denial and stubbornness. Yes, the Winchesters are practically known for their stubbornness, but this has gone too far.
When a Winchester quarrel gets in the way of their ability to hunt, that's when you know it's gone on too long. When Sam and Dean started working a case in which a tall, thin man with no face murdered people from inside locked rooms, they wouldn't agree on what they were hunting. Dean was sure it was a ghost while Sam wanted to trust the lore the Ghostfacers published. Their denial of each other's points hindered their usual success as a team. When they can't bounce ideas off of each other without judgement, there's room for mistakes, and mistakes are deadly in their line of business.
Side note: Welcome back, Ghostfacers! Love these guys. They always hold up a mirror to the strangeness that Sam and Dean call a normal life, and provide some much-needed perspective to the Winchester seriousness.
However, in "Thinman," the Ghostfacers' issues were almost too relatable to Sam and Dean's current problem. It turns out the Thinman was a story Ed made up to keep Harry in the ghost hunting business and away from marrying a girl and getting a "normal and boring" job. Ed thought what they were doing -- hunting the supernatural and saving people -- was important. But when Ed was forced to confess his lies, Harry accused Ed of keeping him around because he didn't want to be alone.
Sound familiar? One guy lying to keep the duo together and save the world, while the other wanted out and couldn't leave due to the other's lies/dependence on him. Hmmmm ...
At the end of the episode/case, the Ghostfacers were officially broken up, as Harry couldn't forgive Ed for his lies and ruining his life. He got a ride from Sam and Dean, leaving Ed all alone for good. And as they were driving away and Harry was telling the Winchesters that he couldn't believe he was going to live his life without his other half like he had always planned, Sam and Dean just gave each other awkward looks ... and didn't say a word.
Seriously? The entire episode was a mirror image of Sam and Dean's current fight, and they can't make a single comment? The meta cases usually work extremely well on "Supernatural," but only because Sam and Dean or someone close to the brothers point out how it relates to their lives. Presenting this identical situation without comment just felt ... off. Especially during Ed and Harry's break up scene, which was almost word-for-word Sam and Dean's fight in the previous two episodes. I expected either Sam or Dean to comfort Ed or Harry, or offer some kind of defense to their counterparts of why their partner made the questionable choices they made. Anything!
But instead of having the case help mend the gap between Sam and Dean, if anything it just made it bigger. Plus, another relationship bit the dust as well -- the Ghostfacers. The ending was extra depressing, as it became clear that two once-close brotherly bonds were severed for good.
As if that isn't troubling enough, we also need to talk about Dean. Because it's extremely worrisome the way he just slo-mo killed the teen psycho who was pretending to be Thinman. Yes, he was a killer with clearly no remorse for his victims (seriously, killing the girl because she wouldn't go out with him? Messed. Up.), but like Sam said later, he was just a person. Not a demon, or a monster. And yet Dean was able to oh-so-calmly guide that knife into his gut. It was intense and yet Dean didn't even blink twice about it.
This has got to be a side effect of the Mark of Cain, right? Ever since he received it, there's been something a little too effective about Dean's aim and fighting skills. He's always been a great hunter, but now he's a perfect killer, and it looks effortless to him. Cain did say there were consequences to having the Mark but Dean didn't stop to listen to them. Is Sam starting to realize that something is off with Dean like we are? Hope so.
While "Thinman" could have used some recognition from Sam or Dean about how much it related to their lives (other than some awkward glances), it's always hilarious to see Sam and Dean react to pop culture things like Tumblr talk and Twitter lingo. When Harry said that he "got punched right in the feels," Sam's grimace said it all: He has no patience for any of that nonsense. Especially since the majority of "Supernatural" fans practically live on Tumblr (hi guys!).
Also, how adorable was that Batman/Superman story of Sam and Dean as kids? That cuteness almost made up for all the toxic fighting that's been going on this season between the brothers. Please, give us back our loving, teasing Winchesters! How much more of these angry, passive-aggressive, hateful Winchesters do we have to endure?
"Supernatural" airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.

I shaved my legs, made sure the nether region was tidy, put on cute yet conservative undies, donned my favorite shirt and took the time to blow-dry my hair straight (which blows donkey balls) all in preparation for my OB physical, annual exam and the BABY'S ULTRASOUND today! COMPLETE WITH AUDIBLE HEARTBEAT!
My OB's office just called. She is delivering twins today. I must wait 24 more hours. Oh well, I should expect this. I spend all of my working hours selling to OBGYN's – I know the drill.
I was just really excited, that's all.
Please let today fly by.
In other news, kudos out to my Fantasy Football franchise player. I love ya, man.

Toyota FINE-S
This is a "bold demonstration of the design freedom offered by Toyota's adaptable fuel cell system". Unfortunately, this bold design freedom didn't really extend to the company's production cars of the era (this concept came out in 2003), but still. There was a hydrogen fuel cell system with independent electric drive to all four wheels.

Woman Sues Sister Over Duke Tix
A family is taking their fight over Duke basketball tickets to a court of law.
Katina Dorton filed a lawsuit Friday against her sister, her sister's husband and Duke University for season tickets that once belonged to her father, the Associated Press reported Thursday.
Dorton claims that the transfer of the tickets to Gordon and Sophia Caudle was done without the knowledge of her father or other family members, according to the AP.
The AP said that Katina's father, John Dorton, was a Duke graduate and dentist for some coaches and players. He bought the tickets through the Iron Dukes, which raises money for the Duke athletic department.
Citing the court complaint, his daughter said that when the transfer of tickets was made in July 2008, John Dorton was sick and unable to act for himself. He died in January 2010 at the age of 81.
Finally, the report said that John Dorton had signed a document allowing the transfer to Caudles, though the complaint is alleging that it should not matter since he was in the aforementioned "diminished capacity." Katina Dorton also said Duke acknowledged its mistake but said nothing could be done about rectifying it, the AP said.
Our take? Duke should end the debate by banning Katina from Cameron Indoor Stadium. Who sues their own sister?

Sleep deprivation diminishes recall of neutral and positive, but not of negative, events.
We remember emotional events, particularly negative ones, better than neutral events. Sterpenich et al. show that while consolidation of neutral and posititive memories is diminished by sleep deprivation, recall of negative events is less compromised. They show that after sleep deprivation, recollection of negative, potentially dangerous, memories recruits an alternate amygdalo-cortical network, which would keep track of emotional information despite sleep deprivation. Here is their description of the work:
Declarative memories, which can be consciously and verbally retrieved, are initially critically dependent on the hippocampus. However, reliable retrieval of long-term memory depends on a process of consolidation, which partly occurs during sleep, when memories are thought to be progressively transferred to long-term cortical stores. Because people tend to remember emotional memories better than neutral ones, we wondered whether the emotional significance of a memory would enhance its consolidation in a sleep-dependent manner. During a first session, participants viewed pictures with neutral and emotional content without realizing that their memory of the pictures and their content would be tested later (called incidental encoding). Three days later, during a functional MRI scanning session, subjects indicated whether they recognized previously viewed and new pictures. Half of the subjects were totally sleep deprived during the first post-encoding night, but all subjects slept as usual during the second and third post-encoding nights. We show here that the recollection of emotional stimuli elicited larger responses in the hippocampus and various cortical areas in the well-rested group than in the sleep-deprived group, suggesting that emotional significance boosts memory consolidation of the information during sleep. Interestingly, in sleep-deprived subjects, recollection of negative items recruited another network including the amygdala, as if an alternate consolidation process allowed them to keep track of negative, potentially dangerous, information despite the cognitive aftermath of sleep deprivation.

A Brevard County woman is alive after fire tore through her home over the weekend.
Firefighters rushed to the house on Country Lane at around 3 a.m. Sunday to find smoke and flames shooting out of the roof of the duplex.
When rescuers entered the home, they found the unidentified victim without a pulse and not breathing.
Paramedics performed CPR and rushed her to a hospital.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, but fire officials said it does not appear to be suspicious.

Tampa-area lawmaker pushes to pull plug on red light cameras in Florida
We focus on all things politics in the Sunshine State. We are the joint Bureau of E.W. Scripps / Tampa Tribune in Tallahassee.
TALLAHASSEE — Mess with the bull, the saying goes, and you get the horns.
When it comes to doing away with red light cameras in Florida, the "bull" is American Traffic Solutions, the largest red light camera provider in the state.
In this case, the "horns" are a full-frontal public relations attack against a bill (SB 144) filed by Sen. Jeff Brandes, R-St. Petersburg, to pull the plug on the cameras statewide.
Brandes, who chairs the Senate's Transportation Committee, has called red light cameras a "backdoor tax increase" and said he will go "all-in for full repeal" this legislative session.
A similar effort failed last year, though state law was changed to allow drivers to contest red-light camera tickets.
Collier County no longer operates red light cameras, having ended its contract with ATS last year.
The systems currently are in use in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties and were in 24 other counties in 2012-13, according to the report. Violators must pay a $158 fine.
ATS provides all the Pinellas cameras except in Clearwater, where they're from red light camera vendor RedFlex. Both companies are based in the Phoenix area.
A former national salesman for RedFlex has accused the company of bribing officials in Florida and 12 other states to win contracts; the firm has denied the allegations.
But an ATS spokeswoman slammed a legislative research report wielded by Brandes as ammunition against the cameras.
That report, by the Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability, showed rear-end, 'T-bone' and other crashes going up 12 percent after cameras went up.
"Our thought is that these studies are more properly conducted by traffic safety experts, not a budget or legislative analyst funded by the Legislature itself," ATS spokeswoman Beth Leytham said in an email.
She even suggested the findings were aimed at "political cover for a powerful legislator's personal ideology."
For the 2014 election cycle, American Traffic Solutions so far has contributed $268,500 to a range of political action committees and Democratic and Republican state lawmakers, including $130,000 to the Republican Party of Florida and $55,000 to the Florida Democratic Party, according to online campaign finance records.
Brandes isn't among those receiving ATS' largesse.
The Legislature approved the use of traffic cameras statewide in 2010 to crack down on red light runners and decrease collisions as part of the Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Act.
Wandall, 30, was killed by a motorist speeding through a red light in Manatee County in 2003, leaving behind his then-pregnant wife.
Melissa Wandall, in a recent op-ed column in The Tampa Tribune, pointed to other statistics in the research report.
They showed deaths going down by nearly half in a dozen counties with the cameras, "resulting in an estimated 18 lives saved."
Although the report "glossed over these statistics and instead focused on more sensationalized anti-camera views, saving 18 lives means the world to the 18 families who would have otherwise lost a loved one forever," she wrote.
Leytham also points out that the report "grossly exaggerates" the number of collisions because of an apples-and-oranges comparison between different kinds of crash reports.
Researchers "compared two different forms," Leytham said. "This created an erroneous finding that rear-end collisions had increased dramatically."
And Leytham referred to a technical critique of the report by an Orlando city traffic engineer, noting that it didn't use a control group of intersections without red light cameras for comparison, among other complaints.
The state's report found many localities using the fine money to pad their general budgets instead of spending it on safety improvements.
Revenue from red light violations was at nearly $119 million for 2012-13, the report said. Of that, $52 million went to the state treasury, nearly $10 million was deposited into state trust funds and cities and counties kept $56 million.
Over the last three years, local governments sent almost half of the money they kept 49 percent to camera vendors as payments, according to the report.
ATS and other companies are "backed into a corner," Brandes said. "They're selling their product on safety when it's really about revenue."
Charles Territo, ATS' senior vice president, said his company wouldn't be making money if drivers obeyed the law.
"There's a device in every vehicle that can prevent a red light camera ticket," he said. "It's called a brake pedal."

Public Option Lie Caught on Video
Obama and his pals are exposed as the liars that they are. Watch this video of Obama Lying about healthcare. He was clearly lying then or lying now. Unless you want another 15% of the economy taken over by this corrupt government let your voice be heard. The White house has responded to the video saying here is more video that we won't take over health care. They are ignoring what has been said in the past and not denying it. That's because he was being transparent then but after the election it's a whole new ball game.

TRESemme Flawless Curls Extra Hold Mousse 4 4
Works GREAT This is a wonderful product for folks with naturally curly hair! It holds without being stiff and it controls frizz. I don't know what I'd do with out it! April 29, 2015
Love this stuff! My stylist told me not to use a mousse after getting a perm because it would only dry my hair out. I tried a creme but it wasn't cutting it. I love this stuff. It doesn't dry my hair out like you would think, and it also doesn't leave that crunchy look. It is very soft. And it makes my curls more refined than a creme did. I definitely recommend this! September 2, 2012
Tames waves, curls, and the price is good too! I've used this mousse for years!! It's the only one I trust. Holds waves and curls perfectly, smells great too, it doesn't flake or wear off. I use it with Tresemme Shaping Milk, a curl definer, but I think it's been discontinued. Both products are an amazing combination and the smell is heaven! I have curlier hair on the top half of my head and wavy, staighter at the bottom so for the bottom it'll hold it just as it is, wavy & straight which makes my hair look limp on the bottom and voluminous on the top, but that's just my hair. February 21, 2012
Great for curls and waves I really love this mousse. It has just the perfect amount of hold without being stiff or sticky. It makes my curls look defined and soft. I recommend to use a diffuser with this product to give extra volume! August 27, 2009

Being the oldest bicycle club in Michigan, the Battle Creek Cycle Club - as it was then known - boasted of having over 800 members in 1895 alone. They hosted a wide variety of races and events, attracting professional racers from as far away as San Francisco. They also raised money for, and established bike paths throughout the county that, with the advent of the automobile, roads were constructed over the path routes, thus obliterating the cycle club's early work.

Created: 08/08/2014 4:31 AM WHEC.com
By: Associated Press
Smokey Bear is turning 70 on Saturday - but don't bring any candles to the party, please.
As the friendly, huggable bear with the brimmed hat and shovel enters his golden years, he's burning up Twitter. But his message of fire prevention through personal responsibility hasn't changed that much.
Smokey was created in 1944, when TV was in its infancy.
Now, he has more than 300,000 friends on Facebook and 24,000 Twitter followers.
Smokey's classic slogan - "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires" - changed to "Only You Can Prevent Wildfires" in 2001.
That's because wildfires in urban areas were becoming a bigger threat than remote forest fires.
Smokey will celebrate a day early on Friday with a party at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood Bring THE TWO MAN GROUP to NJ's bergenPAC Tonight
Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood, stars of the Emmy nominated Whose Line Is It Anyway? have teamed up to present an evening of extraordinary improvisational comedy.
Using their quick wit, Colin and Brad take contributions from the audience to create hilarious and original scenes.... Just like a live version of 'Whose Line'! Throughout the evening, the show becomes truly interactive as audience members are called to the stage to participate in the fun. Their high-profile presentations have played to sold-out venues all over the country.
About Brad Sherwood: As a young hatchling, Brad Sherwood (Cranius gigantum), fled the ice plains of Chicago for the arid expanse of the Rocky Mountains, where he settled at the epicenter of art and coyote sculptures, Santa Fe New Mexico. Weaned on green chiles and isolation, he became a savant of self-amusement.
Years later, he hopped a hobo train to the Pacific Ocean where he searched for people willing to employ someone with an abnormally large skull. Eventually, he was plucked from the Venice Beach Freak Show by a band of improvising gypsies who passed him from troupe to troupe, until he was sold into servitude to some British Choreographer/Pirates. They, in turn, sold him to a British improv TV show, where he was hired to teach Canadians how to be funny.
Now, he is ward and caretaker of his least successful pupil, Colin Mochrie. Brad is given a stipend from the Canadian government to keep Colin from hurting himself or livestock. As part of Colin's therapy, Brad tours with him in an improvised stage performance that helps creatively channel Mochrie's delusions.
About Colin Mochrie: Scotland, that craggy, majestic, malt whiskeyed land, has spawned many myths besides the Loch Ness Monster. One such legend is Colin Mochrie (Hilaritycus smoothius). A migratory creature that left his birthplace for the Great White North (Canada), Colin learned his theatrical craft through repeated behavioral rituals at Studio 58 located in the mountain nestled, sparkling jewel of the Northwest, Vancouver, British Columbia.

Originally written on BlackSportsOnline | Last updated 8/1/13
Riley Cooper may have apologized, but the damage was done, and certain relationships Cooper may have built are going to be the collateral damage. After having it revealed to the world that he used disparaging remarks and racial slurs towards an African-American security guard at a Kenny Chesney concert, Cooper has been fined, forced to apologize and suffer the repercussions of such words. According to Albert Breer, Cooper has already lost running back LeSean McCoy as a friend. LeSean McCoy told me what hurts about Cooper's remarks is "losing a friend." I asked him what that meant, "I can't respect a guy like that." — Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) August 1, 2013 McCoy probably wasn't the first, and definitely won't be the last Eagles player to decide to deal with Riley Cooper from a business and football perspective only. Only time will tell how long Cooper can actually remain an Eagle. Chip Kelly will have to monitor how teammates respond and react to Cooper under fire to actually figure out if he needs to released or moved.

The internet is full of liars about fuel economy, the RV forums are the worst for them. Towing 7k is not advisable with the short wheelbase, I had a 4500lb camper and had to add Air Lift to the rear to help with towing. 14K is a bundle for a CRD with over 100k on it.
Thanks for the real info. As Mr. Diaz pointed out my other ride is a sportwagen and I see all the fantastic claims on the TDI forums. I've logged every tank not for mileage claims but because a number of years ago a local Mobil station put gas in the diesel tanks.
I'm not doing the lift, bumpers or winch until the tires wear out. I will do the GDE tune and Trans controller in right away when the timing belt and water pump are done. I've got a local performance diesel shop that gets good reviews on a few forums and he has two other Liberty CRD customers.

I've read about this and I believe you are correct, esp about the re-flash. I sure hope you are.
The driving factor in this is my recent change of employment and the permanent addition of Chace's niece to our household. I'm now working locally or I get on a plane while Chace has a 80 mile a day commute which she's been doing in the mini. Did I mention there are also two teenage boys living with us? Suddenly the mini is rather small.
So, Chace gets the TDI, I get the Liberty and the mini gets sold. We also have a Jeep Wrangler (TJ) that the boys drive.
The secondary benefit is we drop a payment which is always nice. The acv of the Liberty is 10.3 + the dreaded 199 "doc" fee which is the best price I've seen on a Limited.

Rolex Swan Cup Caribbean 2013 - Jostling at the start line set the scene for day three of racing off the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in Virgin Gorda.
Rolex Swan Cup Caribbean. Class A. Swan 80 Selene, Swan 601 Stark Raving Mad
With Classes A and B sharing a start line, there were bound to be a few exciting moments including this morning when Swan 90 Freya mixed it up with Swan 56 White Rhino and Swan 48 Catch 22 at the Committee Boat end of the line. It was the pin end of the line that paid however, where Swan 601 Stark Raving Mad and Club Swan 42 Arethusa were well placed, headed out to the left of the course and led their respective Classes around the 15nm course.
Wendy Schmidt's Swan 80 Selene crept past Stark Raving Mad at the final mark rounding, to finish just 20 seconds ahead of the Swan 601. But on corrected time, the Swan 601 took the win and is now just one point out of first place overall going into tomorrow's final race to win the prestigious Rolex Swan Cup Caribbean trophy.
'These were our conditions today. We wanted a clean start, which we got and had a clean lane all the way to the windward mark. But it was not an easy race once we rounded the windward mark. It was tactically challenging as a lot of the boats are extremely well sailed and we knew that Selene was going to be very competitive. So our objective was to do our best to keep them behind us around the race track and if we were lucky keep her behind us the whole way,' said Jim Madden, owner and helmsman of Swan 601 Stark Raving Mad.
In Class B, Phil Lotz and his crew onboard Arethusa were first today, while Swan 53 Music took second yet the South Africans maintain their position at the top of the leaderboard.
In the Cruising Class, Swan 46 Eclipse moved into first place today, while Swan 56 Tenacity was second.
'We like the cruising division as it saves the crystal onboard. We were out round Seal Islands today and were being beaten by a turtle for a while there but we eventually caught up with him and passed him,' said Norbert Murray, owner of Tenacity who exudes the spirit of the Cruising Class. Having just completed an extensive refit, Murray's exquisite Swan 56 is a strong contender for the Concours d'elegance trophy, which will be awarded tomorrow evening at the final prizegiving.

Ellen DeGeneres sure has something to dance about: She's receiving the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall!
The award recognizes individuals who've had an impact on American society much like Samuel Clemens, otherwise known as Mark Twain.
"The Kennedy Center is happy to recognize Elle DeGeneres' unique contributions to the world of comedy," Kennedy Center chairman David M. Rubenstein said Tuesday in a statement. "Through her television programs, stand-up appearances, movies and even commercials, her special brand of humor has allowed us to find hilarity in the mundane and has kept us laughing for years."

After learning she will receive the Mark Twain Prize, DeGeneres, 54, quipped: "It's such an honor to receive the Mark Twain Prize. To get the same award that has been given to people like Bill Cosby, Tina Fey and Will Ferrell, it really makes me wonder…why didn't I get this sooner?"
The prize will be awarded at the Kennedy Center on Oct. 22.

CLEVELAND, Tenn. - After dropping its season-opener to the host school, the Olivet Nazarene University men's soccer team bounced back with a convincing 3-1 victory over Montreat College (N.C.) in the second game of the Lee University (Tenn.) Tournament.
The win was David Blahnik's first as the Tigers' head coach.The Tigers (1-1) faced an early deficit after Montreat's Alan Jackson ripped a shot from 18 yards that found a small space between Tigers freshman goalie Zach Chambers (Flanders, N.J.) and the crossbar.
The Tigers answered 41 minutes into the first half when senior forward Logan Engelkes (Winnebago, Ill.) scored after junior forward Vito Miulli (Wheaton, Ill.) picked up a loose ball and assisted the goal.Miulli helped the Tigers strike again in the second half when he was assisted by sophomore Robby Gunderson (Downers Grove, Ill.). A little over eight minutes later, Gunderson scored one himself, assisted by Engelkes.
Chambers had three saves in 90 minutes of play against Montreat (0-3).Gunderson and sophomore midfielder Elliot Totsch (Oswego, Ill.) were among those honored on the 11-player all-tournament team.The Tigers return to action at the Mount Vernon Nazarene University (Ohio) Tournament in Mount Vernon, Ohio, on Sept. 7.
W, Olivet Nazarene University – 3
Montreat College (N.C.) - 1
