Dieser Artikel stellt einen Korpusannotierungsstandard vor, der die Anforderungen der Untersuchung unterschiedlichster linguistischer Phänomene berücksichtigt. Der Standard wurde im SFB 441 an der Universität Tübingen entwickelt. Er geht von bestehenden Standards, insbesondere CES und TEI, aus, die sich als teilweise zu ausführlich und zu wenig restriktiv,teilweise auch als nicht ausdrucksstark genug erweisen, um den Bedürfnissen korpusbasierter linguistischer Forschung gerecht zu werden.
- TüSBL : a similarity-based chunk parser for robust syntactic processing (2001)
- Chunk parsing has focused on the recognition of partial constituent structures at the level of individual chunks. Little attention has been paid to the question of how such partial analyses can be combined into larger structures for complete utterances. The TüSBL parser extends current chunk parsing techniques by a tree-construction component that extends partial chunk parses to complete tree structures including recursive phrase structure as well as function-argument structure. TüSBLs tree construction algorithm relies on techniques from memory-based learning that allow similarity-based classification of a given input structure relative to a pre-stored set of tree instances from a fully annotated treebank. A quantitative evaluation of TüSBL has been conducted using a semi-automatically constructed treebank of German that consists of appr. 67,000 fully annotated sentences. The basic PARSEVAL measures were used although they were developed for parsers that have as their main goal a complete analysis that spans the entire input.This runs counter to the basic philosophy underlying TüSBL, which has as its main goal robustness of partially analyzed structures.
- From chunks to function-argument structure : a similarity-based approach (2001)
- Chunk parsing has focused on the recognition of partial constituent structures at the level of individual chunks. Little attention has been paid to the question of how such partial analyses can be combined into larger structures for complete utterances. Such larger structures are not only desirable for a deeper syntactic analysis. They also constitute a necessary prerequisite for assigning function-argument structure. The present paper offers a similaritybased algorithm for assigning functional labels such as subject, object, head, complement, etc. to complete syntactic structures on the basis of prechunked input. The evaluation of the algorithm has concentrated on measuring the quality of functional labels. It was performed on a German and an English treebank using two different annotation schemes at the level of function argument structure. The results of 89.73% correct functional labels for German and 90.40%for English validate the general approach.
- Working with the CHILDES tools : transcription, coding and analysis (2001)
- The Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES) consists of Codes for the Human Analysis of Transcripts (CHAT), Computerized Language Analysis (CLAN), and a database. There is also an online manual which includes the CHILDES bibliography, the database, and the CHAT conventions as well as the CLAN instructions. The first three parts of this paper concern the CHAT format of transcription, grammatical coding, and analyzing transcripts by using the CLAN programs. The fourth part shows examples of transcribed and coded data.
- Customizing GermaNet for the Use in Deep Linguistic Processing (2001)
- In this paper we show an approach to the customization of GermaNet to the German HPSG grammar lexicon developed in the Verbmobil project. GermaNet has a broad coverage of the German base vocabulary and fine-grained semantic classification; while the HPSG grammar lexicon is comparatively small und has a coarse-grained semantic classification. In our approach, we have developed a mapping algorithm to relate the synsets in GermaNet with the semantic sorts in HPSG. The evaluation result shows that this approach is useful for the lexical extension of our deep grammar development to cope with real-world text understanding.
- Speech transcription using MED (2001)
- MED (Media EDitor) is a program designed to facilitate the transcription of digitized soundfiles into textfiles. It was written by Hans Drexler and Daan Broeder, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. [...] The aim of MED is to facilitate the transcription of sound into text using a single program. It works on the principle of the coexistence and interaction of two basic elements, the waveform display window and the text window. [...] This means that you no longer need to use both a sound editor and a word processor at the same time in order to transcribe digitized speech files. Instead, you can directly type the sound you hear (and see) via MED into the text window. Furthermore, you can directly link sound portions of the waveform display window to text portions of the text window, so that you can easily locate and listen to the original source of your transcription once the links have been set. In this function the waveform display window and the text window virtually interact with each other.
- Computer-assisted transcription and analysis of speech (2001)
- The two papers included in this volume have developed from work with the CHILDES tools and the Media Editor in the two research projects, "Second language acquisition of German by Russian learners", sponsored by the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, from 1998 to 1999 (directed by Ursula Stephany, University of Cologne, and Wolfgang Klein, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen) and "The age factor in the acquisition of German as a second language", sponsored by the German Science Foundation (DFG), Bonn, since 2000 (directed by Ursula Stephany, University of Cologne, and Christine Dimroth, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen). The CHILDES Project has been developed and is being continuously improved at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, under the supervision of Brian MacWhinney. Having used the CHILDES tools for more than ten years for transcribing and analyzing Greek child data there it was no question that I would also use them for research into the acquisition of German as a second language and analyze the big amount of spontaneous speech gathered from two Russian girls with the help of the CLAN programs. When in the spring of 1997, Steven Gillis from the University of Antwerp (in collaboration with Gert Durieux) developed a lexicon-based automatic coding system based on the CLAN program MOR and suitable for coding languages with richer morphologies than English, such as Modern Greek. Coding huge amounts of data then became much quicker and more comfortable so that I decided to adopt this system for German as well. The paper "Working with the CHILDES Tools" is based on two earlier manuscripts which have grown out of my research on Greek child language and the many CHILDES workshops taught in Germany, Greece, Portugal, and Brazil over the years. Its contents have now been adapted to the requirements of research into the acquisition of German as a second language and for use on Windows.

•On the evening of Oct. 13 a Lakewind Drive woman called deputies after a neighbor called her to say she witnessed subjects steal her pumpkin off her front porch. The victim said her fiancé talked to the suspects and discovered the pumpkin was smashed in the road. He told them they had to pay for it or bring him a new pumpkin.
•Shortly after midnight on Oct. 12 a vehicle at the Dollar General on South Live Oak Drive pulled out of a parking space and hit a shopping cart causing about $100 worth of damage. An employee noticed the incident on surveillance video and called deputies before 1 a.m. The vehicle appeared to be an older model black Cadillac.
•At about 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 11 a Bonneau woman reported a criminal domestic violence incident. She said after an argument with her husband she tried to leave but he pulled out pistol and placed on the table next to him and said if she left he would shoot her and anyone assisting her. When deputies arrived the subject was gone. Deputies informed the victim of her rights and services available. Deputies waited until she gathered her belongings and went to another address. The report indicates a CDV warrant would be obtained for the subject.
• On Oct. 12 a Hillcrest Drive man reported that his PT740 .40 caliber Smith & Wesson handgun was missing from the console of his vehicle. The victim said he had not seen the gun for a week. The gun, valued at $450, was entered into NCIC.

COLUMBIA — New life is springing out of the formerly toxic earth in Graniteville.
Gov. Nikki Haley and representatives of startups recycler Recleim (pronounced Reclaim) announced that the company will establish its first recycling plant in Graniteville. The plant will be housed in the former Hickman Mill plant in Graniteville.
Recleim, a recycler of appliances and e-waste materials, committed to a $40.6 million investment that is expected to generate 200 new jobs. Recleim plans to open the facility in the summer of 2014.
"A great day for Graniteville. A great day for Aiken County. You know, $40 million, 200 jobs in that area, and, to make it better, they are revitalizing one of the old mills," said Sen. Shane Massey. "It's a great win for that area which has been, quite frankly, devastated by the train wreck and the mill closure."
The wreck refers to the Jan. 6, 2005, collision of train cars which led to the release of chlorine, killing nine and injuring 200. The chlorine spill significantly damaged property and equipment of many businesses.
The plant will be installed at 118 Hard Street and the 110,000-square-foot building will be renovated to accommodate three production lines.
"We are pleased to move forward with plans to open our new facility in Aiken County. This is a big step for our company. South Carolina provides us with an excellent business environment and the skilled workforce we need for our operations. We appreciate all the support we've received from state and local officials," said Ben Hirokawa, CEO of Recleim.
Local government and legislators were on hand for the announcement, which took place during RecyclonomicsSC legislative day at the State House.
RecyclonomicsSC is a nonprofit organization formed to increase recycling in South Carolina.
"Today's announcement is a significant milestone for Aiken County, but more importantly the Graniteville community," said Ronnie Young, chairman of Aiken County Council. "Since 2006, we have been working to attract jobs back into this area. We are very appreciative of this ... investment and 200 new jobs by Recleim and we are looking forward to partnering with them."
The company specializes in resource recovery from appliances, white goods and electronic waste, and in environmentally-sound disposal of hazardous components.
"When a company decides to locate its first plant here in South Carolina, it says a lot about the strength of our state's business-friendly climate and skilled workforce," said Haley. "It shows that companies see our state as a place where they will find success. We celebrate Recleim's decision to invest."
According to Haley's office, the Department of Commerce has recruited more than $790 million in capital investment and more than 1,500 new jobs in the recycling-related sector since January 2011.
Recleim's Aiken facility will employ state-of-the-art, proprietary technology that, they say, contains the harmful substances found in discarded appliances, while reducing the typical landfill waste from these appliances by 95 percent. The new facility is expected to be one of the most efficient and environmentally-sound facilities of its kind in North America, according to company officials.
The company is currently hiring for the plant management team, and will begin hiring production line workers in the fourth quarter of this year. As of publication, one job was listed on the site, that of a Quality Systems Manager.
Anyone interested in job opportunities with Recleim should visit the company's careers web page at www.recleim.com/career/.

DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire ski team recently held its annual team banquet to honor an MVP in all four disciplines and recognize the overall accomplishments of a team that finished ninth in the NCAA championships as well as second at the UNH Carnival during the Eastern circuit.
Aileen Farrell (Ottawa, Ontario) and Sean McNamara (Honeoye Falls, N.Y.) were named the women's and men's alpine MVPs, respectively, while Dylan McGuffin (Concord, N.H.) was feted as the men's Nordic MVP and Sarah Wright (Wyoming, Minn.) received the women's Nordic MVP.
Head coach Cory Schwartz also cited head alpine coach Brian Blank as the EISA Alpine Coach of the Year as well as the 10 student-athletes named to the NCAA All-Academic Team, the five skiers who garnered All-America accolades and the quintet that received All-East honors.
Farrell, who placed fifth in slalom and eighth in the giant slalom at the NCAA championships, finished in the top-10 in 11 of 12 races during the Eastern carnival circuit and finished no lower than 12th place this season. She was the top UNH skier in six of 12 Eastern events and that included both the giant slalom and slalom at the EISA Regional Championships with sixth- and ninth-place finishes,
|DYLAN McGUFFIN
respectively. Farrell raced to a second-place finish in the UNH giant slalom and took eighth place that weekend in the slalom. She was more consistent in the slalom with finishes of seventh (twice), eighth (twice) and ninth (twice) but had higher marks of fourth and sixth place in the GS.
McNamara, who finished fifth in the slalom and 16th in the giant slalom at the NCAAs, capped the Eastern carnivals by winning the giant slalom and finishing second in the slalom at the EISA Regional Championships. He finished in the top 10 in all 12 Eastern races this season with 10 top-5 finishes overall. McNamara was the top 'Cat in six of 12 races and that included both Middlebury Carnival events in which he was second overall in the SL and third in the GS. He also earned second place in the UVM slalom and UNH giant slalom.
McGuffin was the top 'Cat in six of 11 men's Nordic races during the Eastern circuit, including both the 10K classic and 20K freestyle at the regional championships with 13th and 17th place finishes overall. He recorded four other top-20 efforts, including fourth place overall in the 20K free at the Bates Carnival. McGuffin also skied to back-to-back 11th-place performances in the freestyle at UVM and Dartmouth.
Wright, who placed 14th in the 15K freestyle and 25th in the 5K classic races at the NCAA championships, had a particularly strong 2009 season in the freestyle races. She duplicated her seventh-place finish from Bates' 15K free in subsequent weeks at UNH (10K free) and Vermont (5K free). She then finished eighth in the 10K free at Dartmouth and placed sixth in the 15K free at the Eastern regionals. Wright also tallied top-20 finishes in classic races at UNH (eighth), Middlebury (16th) and Easterns (16th).
McNamara and Wright were joined on the NCAA All-Academic Team by Veronique Archambault-Leger (Verdun, Quebec), Marlijne Cook (Saranac Lake, N.Y.), Michael Cremeno (Pembroke, N.H.), Willie Ford (Plymouth, N.H.), Michael Lessard (Greene, Maine), Alexandra Norden (Eaton, N.H.), Samuel Norden (Eaton, N.H.) and Ethan Weibrecht (Lake Placid, N.Y.).
Archambault-Leger (giant slalom and slalom), Cremeno (giant slalom), Farrell (giant slalom and slalom), Ford (giant slalom and slalom) and McNamara (slalom) were the five UNH skiers who combined for eight All-America honors.
Ford and McNamara raced to All-East First Team recognition while Archambault-Leger, Cremeno and Farrell skied to Second Team honors.

So, a couple of years ago, my husband built three raised beds in a corner of our yard. One for vegetables. One for herbs. And the other for my cutting flowers. Just a small area to water. I could even get the kids to help with it.
We saw the commercial about the roll and grow garden. We all laughed and said that is exactly what I need. Charlie said it was like "cheating". I ordered it and rolled it out. We watered. And flowers grew. Just like the commercial said.
We enjoyed flowers from this garden into the fall.

PBA Needs YOUR Help Wisconsin!
by Steve Fifer
posted Jan 20 2013 11:10AM
You may or may not be aware that the PBA announced a while back that they will be returning to Southeastern Wisconsin for their Summer Series. Now if you haven't heard, then you haven't listened to the
Spare/Time Bowling Show
on Sunday mornings at 9am or you missed the one day it was in the
Journal Sentinel
newspaper. Let's be honest if this is going to be a successful event coming up in May and June then more will need to be done.
Attention to bowling alley owners in town (especially you AMF owners) their needs to be a partnership in helping to promote this event coming back to Wisconsin. I understand that many of you probably think since you aren't hosting the qualifying tournaments or the TV finals that it does you no good to promote it. Well, you're WRONG!
The PBA tour is free marketing for what you do, regardless if you like the current product or not, use it to your advantage. I get that many of you want the good old days of Marhsall Holman and Mark Roth back, well those days are behind us and have been replaced by a pretty good rivalry in Sean Rash versus Jason Belmonte. TV ratings on ESPN are up 15% this year for the PBA and you haven't done a thing to help this process. How many Sunday's go by without the PBA event being on a single TV set in your building? I understand in the beginning of the year the NFL is king. However, that's over now, so you don't have an excuse.
What's the solution? It's pretty simple, let's first start with each center in town making announcements at their centers during each league. How long does it take to write a liner card for your staff to read once or twice during league play? I don't want to hear more stories like I heard on Sunday morning from my co-host Van McNeil about going to Waukesha AMF and the staff there not knowing details about the PBA coming to THEIR center in May.
As far as you Pro Shop owners go, I'm trying to figure out why when you are selling bowling balls to people, especially kids, why aren't you saying "This is one of the balls that Sean Rash throws or this is what Jason Belmonte uses"? What's the worst case scenario? the person says "Who is that?" Then you can explain to them to watch a PBA show to see how the ball works for them and how it can work for you.
The commissioner of the PBA, Tom Clark, can only do so much. At some point, the people in towns across this country that run bowling centers and pro shops need to step to the plate and do their part. If people don't want to help, then don't cry when you are filing for bankruptcy because nobody is coming to your center because bowling isn't popular enough.
Be selfish owners and promote the PBA!

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Nathan Horton and David Krejci both posted a goal and two assists as Boston downed Washington, 4-1, at TD Garden.
"When you see big bodies like that coming at the speed that they come at, it certainly puts guys on their heels and that's what creates turnovers," Bruins head coach Claude Julien said of the impact of the Horton-Krejci line.
Andrew Ference and Rich Peverley also lit the lamp and Milan Lucic added a trio of helpers for the Bruins, who have won five of their last six games.
Anton Khudobin ran his record to 5-2-0 this season with a 32-save effort.
Marcus Johansson notched the lone score for the Capitals, losers in four of their last five. Michal Neuvirth made 34 stops in defeat.
Horton's slapper from the high slot gave the Bruins the lead with 5:48 left in the first period, and Krejci doubled the edge with 2:45 remaining.
Johansson was credited with the Caps' first score, at 1:24 of the second period, when a Bruins defenseman snagged his pass deep in the Boston zone but accidentally shot the disc into his own net.
However, Ference ripped his first of the season home just after the eight- minute mark to restore Boston's two-goal lead.
Peverley's poke through a scrum in the crease nine seconds into a power play made it 4-1 for the hosts with 2:41 elapsed in the third and Khudobin backed that with an 11-save final period.
"Only because I feel a little snake-bit," Capitals head coach Adam Oates said about his concern with the lack of offense. "We have had a lot of chances. I'm not worried about production, it will be there, but you go through stretches like this and wonder how it will work itself out."
Boston posted its first home victory against Washington since Dec. 18, 2010
(3-2) ... The Bruins ran their home record to 10-2-1, while the Caps fell to
4-8-1 on the road ... Horton's last 3-point game was Jan 5, 2012 vs. Calgary
... Krejci topped the 300-point plateau with his multi-point performance.

Fewer Arizonans considering Mexico for vacation
PHOENIX -- If you're planning on going away for spring break or for a summer vacation, one Valley travel agent said it's likely you haven't considered heading south of the border.
Paul Seiferth said he has seen a steady decline in the number of travelers interested in going to Mexico.
"We used to do a lot of business in Mexico: Cancun, Mazatlan, Cabo. I would say it's a 75 percent decline over the past two years," Paul Seiferth, who owns Terra Travel.
Seiferth said that, because of our close proximity to Mexico, Arizonans are inundated with news reports of violent cartels and border violence.
"It's sad," he said. "People in Mexico work very hard. Ninety-nine-point-nine percent of them are good, hard-working, honest people, but you hear about the cartels and it scares people."
Seiferth said he travels to Mexico and feels safe doing so.

Digital Media Production at Dordt offers students real-world, marketable skills in film, video production, and animation. Students learn about pre-production, production, and post-production. They learn how to conceptualize an idea, write a script, use proper lighting techniques, capture great audio and video, and much more. With the help of Dordt's film instructor—an award-winning filmmaker—students find hands-on learning opportunities to work with technical equipment based on film industry standards. Thanks to intentionally limited class sizes, students have one-on-one attention to hone their media-making skills in a comfortable setting. Check out some student work.
Dordt graduates go into the media world knowing much more than how to push the right buttons, according to Mark Volkers, professor of digital media production.
Follow us on Facebook
"Dordt College strives to turn out technically trained graduates who are equipped to move into positions of leadership in the film and video industry," he said. "In a time when so much of the media we consume is full of empty calories, it's time to start training people who can produce content worth consuming," Volkers says.
The Digital Media Production major brings Hollywood possibilities to students' fingertips, all from an academically and biblically grounded basis. These courses challenge students to work hard at developing their filmmaking skills and to serve the Lord in one of the most influential fields in our world.
Are you ready for the challenge?

ICBA Lauds Passage of Key Amendments to Broaden Assessment Base and Protect Taxpayers
Gutierrez-Manzullo Amendment Would Ensure Too-Big-To-Fail Firms Pay Their Fair Share
Washington, D.C. (November 19, 2009)—The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) today lauded the House Financial Services Committee for passing critical amendments, including the Gutierrez-Manzullo and Kanjorski amendments, to the Financial Stability Improvement Act (H.R. 3996), which would promote deposit insurance fairness, protect America's taxpayers and put an end to too-big-to-fail. ICBA also praised Reps. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and Donald Manzullo (R-Ill.), as well as Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski (D-Pa.), for proposing these key amendments that would create long-overdue parity between common-sense community banks and Wall Street, and ultimately, help community banks continue to serve the needs of their communities for generations to come.
"ICBA commends the House Financial Services Committee and Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) for passing amendments that would make the financial system more equitable and hold too-big-to-fail firms—the culprits of our economic woes—accountable for the risks they pose to America's taxpayers and our nation's economic system," said Camden R. Fine, ICBA president and CEO. "The financial crisis has shown us that the fallout from failure of one of these mega-institutions is too great and we must account for the added risk their size and activities pose. The ICBA-inspired Gutierrez-Manzullo amendment will ensure that these institutions pay their fair share."
ICBA has been a leading advocate for creating parity between large and small banks. The association led the effort to broaden the assessment base and proposed that the FDIC determine bank premium assessments by including total assets (minus tangible equity), not just domestic deposits. The bill now includes this key ICBA proposal, which would allow the FDIC to examine risks throughout a bank's holding company and would remove any barrier to the FDIC considering the amount of a bank's assets and liabilities when determining the bank's risk rating. The amendment also would lift the hard cap on the DIF reserve ratio to allow the FDIC to build up the fund to protect taxpayers. "ICBA thanks Reps. Gutierrez and Manzullo for proposing the amendment and for their ongoing support of community banks by advocating so tirelessly for deposit insurance fairness," said Fine.
In addition to the Gutierrez-Manzullo amendment, ICBA fully backed Rep. Gutierrez's separate amendment that would create a pre-funded systemic resolution fund for the orderly unwinding of a failed large financial company that threatens the financial sector and the national economy. A pre-funded systemic resolution fund, which would avoid pro-cyclical effects of tapping the industry during times of financial stress, has a number of advantages over a post-event funding system. It would place the cost on the largest financial institutions that may later fail, rather than only on institutions that have not failed, providing an important equitable balance. It would also hold too-big-to-fail institutions accountable for future risks and ensure America's taxpayers won't be left holding the tab for problems they didn't create.
Moreover, ICBA thanks Rep. Kanjorski for his amendment that would rein in too-big-to-fail institutions. The amendment would provide the Financial Services Oversight Council with authority to take responsible preventive actions to protect the financial system when financial companies are found to be systemically dangerous. It would also establish objective standards to determine if a company is systemically dangerous and allow the council to step in and order measures to reduce risk, including dismantling firms whose failure would put the entire economy at risk.
ICBA will continue to work with the House Financial Services Committee to ensure that this crucial legislation is swiftly passed when the committee reconvenes on Dec. 1.

A: I have struggled with the same issue for my son, who is gluten free and can't tolerate most kids vitamins that are sweetened with sugar. Right now we use a product by Thorne Research that was recommended for my seven year old by a nutritionist. It is called Cal-Mag Citrate (Effervescent Powder) but it is very, very sour because of the high vitamin C content and I WOULD NOT recommend it for a one year old. But, what I would recommend is the combination of calcium and magnesium in the evening. Both these minerals are down regulators and taken together they help kids to sleep and be calm. I was actually in a store today looking to replace the Cal-Mag powder with something similar which didn't contain the vitamin C--so this was on my mind before I received your question.
Doing some research, it looks like TACA recommends a calcium powder by Kirkman. They have several available, but the Calcium with Vitamin D Powder-Unflavored-Hypoallergenic looked the most similar to the Thorne Research product, which my son seems to do well on. 1/4 tsp of this product would provide 500 mg. of calcium. You can order small samples from Kirkman, to see how well your child does with the supplement before you order. And the sales people at Kirkman are very knowledgeable and can give you more information.
My son has reacted poorly to several calcium supplements. I thought it was the calcium but really it turned out to be the sucrose (in the gummy calcium) and the preservatives and stevia (in the liquid New Beginnings Product.) So while the liquid vitamins might seem easier to use, very sensitive kids sometimes can't tolerate them because of the preservatives and what they put in the products so they don't separate . In addition, there are some kids who don't do well on calcium at all and there are some kids who do better with one form of a vitamin and can't tolerate another form, so observing how your child does on a new supplement is really important.
Here are the recommendations for calcium intake according to the Surgeon General I found in an article in the Seattle Times called Calcium is Critical--Especially for Kids:
Children 0-6 months: 210 mg
Children: 6-12 months: 270 mg
Children: 1-3 years: 500 mg
Children: 4-8 years: 800 mg
Children: 9-18 years: 1,300 mg
Adults 19-50 years: 1,000 mg
Adults 51-plus 1,200 mg
Because the ratio of calcium to magnesium is important for the absorption of calcium, it is also critical to make sure you have enough magnesium when you are taking calcium. This is of special concern for kids who have signs of being deficient in this mineral. Sensory issues, constipation, hyperactivity and allergies can all indicate low levels of magnesium. Kirkman has a Magnesium Citrate Soluble Powder which is also hypoallergenic. There is also a Kid's Calm product for ages 4-8 although it is very sour and also contains stevia and flavoring.

He's tough as nails.
Dogwood Stable's Palace Malice will be returning to Saratoga Springs, N.Y. on Saturday.
The winner of the 145th Belmont Stakes appears to be in fine form, and will be prepared for his forthcoming challenges, with the next logical step being the 1 1/8-mile, Grade 2, Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga Race Course on July 27, said W. Cothran Campbell, Dogwood Stable president.
"We don't plan to work him until a week from Saturday, the 29th," said Campbell. "I might have to work him before that. I might not be able to hold him on the ground. He's a horse with an incredible constitution. He's tough as nails. He's sound and doing well."
Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith will be in the irons for Palace Malice's next start, said Campbell.
Dogwood Stable's second Classic victory continues to resonate with the winner of the 2011 Eclipse Award of Merit.
"I thought Palace Malice was coming into the race in perfect form," said Campbell. "However, there were 13 other horses that were coming into it in good form. I had every reason to think he would run an excellent race."
Dogwood Stable's multiple stakes placed Big Screen will be returning in the 28th running of the $150,000, 1 1/8-mile, Grade 3 Poker Stakes on the turf at Belmont Park on July 4. The gray colt was disqualified and placed second in his previous start, after bumping in deep stretch with eventual winner Souper Speedy, in a race that had originally been carded for the turf but was moved to the main track because of the rainfall.
"We wanted to run him on the grass, in the Jaipur," said Campbell. "We know he runs well on dirt. He seems to move way up on the grass."
The horseman was confounded when the inquiry sign went up in the Jaipur, not being able to see the infraction from his vantage point.
"From the side, we couldn't tell anything," said Campbell. "We all said, 'It must be the second or third place horse.' Then I saw the rider standing about 40 feet away. I said, 'Aah, ok. That's not a good sign.' When we saw the head on, we understood it perfectly. He should have been taken down."

Music for Life: African Children's Choir to perform at Cornerstone Church on Dec. 12.Written by Logan Sander | | email@example.com
The African Children's Choir will perform at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 12 at Cornerstone Church, 1520 S. Reynolds Road in Maumee. The choir is comprised of young African children who have been giving concerts across North America during the past 10 months.
The children will perform children's songs and traditional spiritual and gospel songs at the free concert.
A free-will offering will be taken to support the organization and its programs.
The African Children's Choir is a nonprofit relief organization aimed at helping African children. All funds raised by the choir go toward education, care and relief programs instituted by the organization for African children and their families.
The program stems from the parent organization Music for Life, which works to help families in seven different African countries: Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. The organization focuses on education in order to create new leadership for Africa's future. Music for Life has helped educate more than 52,000 children and reached out to more than 100,000 people, according to a news release.
The choir has been performing for 28 years, sending 40 individual choirs on tours all over the world, including places like Australia, Japan, Jamaica and Canada. The group performing in Toledo is giving about 200 concerts during its 16-month North American tour.
Catherine Wake, the tour leader, is one of the chaperones for the children, and helps ensure they remain happy and healthy. She first encountered the choir as a young girl, when her parents hosted a child from the choir in their home.
She decided to become involved once she heard about the choir again as an adult.
Wake said she recently received a teaching license, so she appreciates the organization's focus on education and its role in the children's lives.
"The organization itself has a real focus on education and that especially struck a chord with me. It's really making a difference for these kids. Most of the kids here wouldn't be able to go to school without the support of the choir. Now that they have the support of the choir, their education is covered to the end of college," Wake said.
With that education, many of the children are realizing what possibilities lie before them, especially after witnessing life outside of the impoverished communities they come from. During the concerts, each child shares what he or she would like to grow up to be. At first, the children were not very creative in their choices, but as they see more, that is changing, Wake said.
"It's opening their eyes for them to see what life is like here without the kind of intense poverty they're coming from. It expands their ideas of what's possible … Since they've been here, they've met people who are firefighters, dentists or social workers. One girl wants to be an astronaut now, because she's seen that that's a possibility," Wake said.
Wake visited Uganda in 2006, so she knows where these children are coming from.
"They're coming from difficult backgrounds where they weren't necessarily able to just be children and play. I think that it's cool to see them individually open up and become more confident. They can play and have fun and just be kids," Wake said.
She will remain with the children for the remaining six months of the tour, which will stop in numerous cities, including Austin, Texas and Washington, D.C.

I spent some time analyzing search trends of different computing keywords to try to put everything in perspective. Google trends is a nice too that gives insight into broad search patterns.
We all know that the term "Cloud Computing" is relatively new to the Technology buzz. But just how new is it? For starters, I ran a quick comparison of "Cloud Computing," "Grid Computing" and "Utility Computing".
The term Grid Computing has been around for a while (even before Google Trends tracking shows it). But as you can see from the graphic above, it is trending downwards. Utility Computing has pretty much remained below the radar in comparison. But, the newcomer Cloud Computing, which made its full entrance into this trend analysis around 2007 is rapidly gaining momentum. 2008 seems to be a pivotal time where it surpassed Grid Computing (and continues to grow).
Cloud computing is relatively new as a server hosting term. People are starting to loosely associate it with traditional hosted server solutions. So to put this all in perspective as well as add some other "hot" keywords in to the mix, I trended the following:
- Cloud computing
- Grid computing
- Dedicated server
- Colocation
- Virtualization

Alexis Clark, the great-granddaughter of the legendary Al "Bearmeat" Vipperman, who was the longtime football coach at Belfry, has been named AAU Champion of the Year.
Clark is the daughter of Tammy Vipperman Clark, a Belfry graduate and former basketball player for the Lady Pirates.
Alexis, who is 12 years old, won the award which was recently announced by the sponsor for the award.
She was one of six finalists for the distinguished honor. Clark is an up and coming track star. She throws the discus and shot put. She has been coached by her mother, who is a high school coach in Virginia. She is a 4-time national AAU champion in the sport.
… Congratulations to Isaac Parsley of Tug Valley and Joe May of Mingo Central for making first team all-state in football. Parsley made the Class A squad, while May made the Class AA team. Both are well deserving of the honor. Several of their teammates received honorable mention.
… Also, congrats to several Belfry Pirates for making the all-district squad. Belfry had eight players on the squad and coach Philip Haywood was once again voted as coach of the year.
… There is some good basketball in the region this weekend. Mingo Central travels to Chapmanville tonight. Tug Valley hosts Westside on Saturday evening. The Coalfield Shootout will be played up in Madison at their Civic Center. Belfry and Mingo Central will play in that event.
… WVU will take on No. 3 Michigan in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday night in a nationally televised game. It will match former Mountaineer coach John Beilein with current WVU coach Bob Huggins. Unfortunately, this may be a tough game for the Mountaineers. They have not been paying very well and this is one of the best teams Michigan has had in several years. The game will be on ESPN starting at 8:00 p.m.
Beilein will face his former team. Beilein went 104-60 in five seasons at WVU. He led the Mountaineers to two NCAA tournament appearances and two trips to the NIT. West Virginia University won the NIT tournament in his final season with the Mountaineers.
… WVU's 2013 football recruiting class continues to grow. Junior College wide receiver Kevin White is the latest verbal commitment.
White has great size at 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds. He also has a great vertical leap reported to be 54 inches. White comes to WVU from Lackawanna Community College near Scranton, Pennsylvania.

BlackBerry Music Gateway for iPhone and iPad review
The BlackBerry Music Gateway is a great way to connect to and control your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad music to your existing speakers and stereo system, at home or on the go
Okay. Yes. Sure. It's made by Research in Motion (RIM) and called the BlackBerry Music Gateway, but thanks to the universal standard that is Bluetooth, this mighty little marvel works not only fine with Apple's iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad -- it works fantastically well. You connect it to your existing home theater/stereo system, your car or camper audio, your boat or backyard boom box, tap to connect, and make with the music. It really is just that simple, and just that awesome.
The BlackBerry Music Gateway box includes the device itself, a micro-USB cable, an AC adapter, a 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio jack, and a 3.5mm to left- and right stereo connectors (RCA). Again, the device is small. Compared to an Apple TV or Apple Airport Extreme, both of which can stream audio over Wi-Fi, it's positively tiny. It's not much bigger than a chicken nugget or an iPod nano. It's that small.
It's also ridiculously easy to set up. Plug it in and connect. That's it. Seriously.
You do have some choices, however. You can charge the BlackBerry Music Gateway with the USB cable, either by plugging it into a handy USB port on your computer or MacBook, or into the AC adapter. Then you slip it into a pocket and take it with you anywhere and everywhere, ready to jack into any audio source you come across. I tried it in my car's AUX in, my friend's home theater, and an old ghetto blaster someone had left on the deck since the 80s... and it worked perfectly with all of them.
You can also plug it into the AC adapter, and the AC adapter into the grid, and just leave the BlackBerry Music Gateway in one place, hidden away, ready to use whenever you want. I tried that at home -- hooking it into my Pioneer 7.1 receiver and just leaving it on. That way I was only ever a remote button push and iPhone play button away from room-booming sound.
Speaking of iPhone, and iOS devices in general, pairing is a snap. No fuss, no codes, no muss. Simply tap Settings, BlueTooth, wait for iOS to discover the BlackBerry Music Gateway, and then tap to connect.
If the iPhone had NFC, it would be even faster, since the BlackBerry Music Gateway supports NFC connection as well. So, if you have a non-Apple device with NFC, just knock the NFC and go. If you're all in on Apple, you'll have to wait and see what the next iPhone brings to see if we can join the near-field communication revolution...
In the meantime, the BlackBerry Music Gateway supports all the basic Bluetooth controls you need, including pause and play, and even volume. Tap the AirPly button to select between iPhone/iPod/iPad and BlackBerry Music Gateway, then drag your finger across the volume slider to pick the perfect level for your intimate dinner, house party, or road trip.
If you're worried about Bluetooth mangling your music, don't be. Companies like Jawbone have proven that even highly compressed audio transport protocols can still produce great sound, and the BlackBerry Music Gateway shows they're no exception to that rule.
Also, don't let the Music gateway name fool you -- you can use the BlackBerry Music Gateway with any type of audio, even movies and video games. If you want to fill the room with cinematic sound, or take your gaming to the next sound level, you can do that too. I tried it with my iPad watching Dark Knight and playing Real Racing 2 and the sound was far, far -- far! -- better than the tiny, tinny Apple speakers in every situation.
The only real tradeoff is this -- unlike cabled audio systems, the BlackBerry Music Gateway can't charge your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad while it's streaming music. So, if you've relied on a USB to Dock connector cable in the past to keep your device alive while it was playing, you'll have to either charge separately, or get a dedicated cable to charge while you're streaming over Bluetooth.
Now, for double the price you could get an Apple TV that will stream video as well as audio, and AirPort Express that will act as a router as well as a music gateway, or something like the Jawbone JAMBOX that includes built-in speakers. But that's at double the price, and for things way beyond what the BlackBerry Music Gateway excels at -- inexpensively putting your audio on your existing sound system.
It's also platform independent, so if you have iPhones but your friends or family have Androids, BlackBerry phones, or anything else, you're all good to go.
The good
- Incredible small and convenient
- Simple and easy to pair
- Relatively inexpensive
- Includes both 3.5 and stereo RCA connectors
- Excellent sound quality, even for Bluetooth
- Supports NFC... even though Apple doesn't yet
The bad
- Requires existing speaker system
The bottom line
There are alternatives to the BlackBerry Music Gateway that do substantially more, but they cost substantially more as well. The BlackBerry Music Gateway won't replace your Apple TV or AirPlay system, but it will certainly complement it. If you already have a great speaker system in your home, car, cottage, etc. and you just want a cheap, convenient way to stream your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad audio to it, you want the BlackBerry Music Gateway.

BlackBerry Music Gateway for iPhone and iPad review
Does anyone know if this device has the "need to re-connect bluetooth from phone" issue that I see with the iPhone and most bluetooth speaker devices?
In other words, do you have to tell the phone to go find the speaker in bluetooth first? Or does it just automatically stick it in the airplay menu, even if they've been out of range, it's been a while, and so on?
"Then you slip it into a pocket and take it with you anywhere and everywhere, ready to jack into any audio source you come across."
I'm confused! Does this thing has built-in battery or not?
The review on CB didn't even mentioned about it.
If it does, how about the battery life?
Please enlighten me..
Can someone answer this? Rene?
You can charge the BlackBerry Music Gateway with the USB cable, either by plugging it into a handy USB port on your computer or MacBook, or into the AC adapter
You can also plug it into the AC adapter, and the AC adapter into the grid, and just leave the BlackBerry Music Gateway in one place, hidden away, ready to use whenever you want.
Just a copy past from the review
I'm having trouble connecting the BlackBerry Music Gateway to my iMac (v10.8.3). My iPhone recognizes it, my boyfriend's HTC phone and Asus tablet recognizes it, but neither of our computers (bf's computer: Asus laptop) are able to "discover" the device.
My boyfriend has had his laptop and BBMG device for two years without them pairing. Technical support was never available for this problem, because none of the companies (Asus, Research In Motion, WIDCOMM, Targus, and Kensington) provided adequate support because of the multiplicity of devices and software involved. We were hoping that with my new iMac we would finally have a standardized system and be able to connect to a computer. But alas, that is not the case.
Any pointers?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Wind: 0 mph
Mad River Rocket, the Warren-based sled maker, has attained access to a 250-acre north-facing mountain slope near Prickly Mountain in Warren.
Company employees are currently building access roads and sledding trails complete with log rail slides and cliffs.
"When complete we will have the world's first rocket sled park. Aside from making sleds, this will be the focal point of our season. It will be our R&D test facility and the home of all things sledding. While building the park we are making every effort to make as little impact as possible while using any timber cut as features within the park. There will be a sledder-cross trail for races as well as huge jumps for the big air comps," said company president Whitney Phillips.
"Upon completion you will be able to enjoy a ride to the top on a
passenger-carrying snowmobile. Take in the views of The Valley from the
top and enjoy 1,211 feet of vertical glade slope back down to the
pickup. You can cruise through huge maples in the best glades in the
state or look for some of the cliff bands that are
scattered throughout. Down near the bottom you will find
jumps, rails and amazing features made from cut timbers," he explained.
Phillips said that the land is under a conservation/logging easement which allows recreational uses and required that it be managed for timber. Accordingly, the land needs to be selectively harvested and, as part of that harvest, a logging road and staging area will be created.

51 Years Ago: The Beatles Fire Pete Best
Arguably the most ignominious firing in rock history happened on Aug. 16, 1962. Shortly before recording their debut single, the Beatles dismissed drummer Pete Best.
Two months earlier, the group passed an audition for Parlophone Records. But while producer George Martin liked what he heard, he was dissatisfied with Best. He told the Beatles that, while they could use Best onstage, he was going to bring in a session drummer for the recordings. The other Beatles, along with manager Brian Epstein, discussed the situation and decided that it was in their best interests to sack the drummer entirely. On Aug. 16, Epstein called Best into his office and told him the news that he was out.
Known around Liverpool as "mean, moody and magnificent," Best had joined the Beatles two years earlier when they needed a drummer for their upcoming residency in Hamburg. His audition was, quite literally, the day before they went to Germany. But his sullen personality never fit in well with the wisecracking Beatles, even refusing to adopt the soon-to-be-famous "Beatles haircut."
Best was the most popular Beatle with their female fan base and long maintained that he was fired because they were jealous of his looks. But when five songs from the Beatles' Decca audition were officially released on the 1995 'Anthology' set, it proved that Best's drumming — both in terms of his timekeeping and inventiveness — was inferior to his replacement's. Ringo Starr joined the group soon after.

HALOS, a Charleston-based nonprofit organization, recently received a grant of $15,000 from the TD Charitable Foundation, the charitable giving arm of TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank, to provide services and support to kinship families. Kinship families occur when a relative, usually a grandparent, steps in to care for children full-time, in the absence of their parents, so that they will not have to enter foster care. The grant from the TD Charitable Foundation will ensure that this important work can continue.
The HALOS Kinship Care Program was developed in 2008 to support grandparents and other relatives raising grandchildren in the absence of their parents through twice monthly mutual support groups, referrals for services and educational and respite opportunities. The first of its kind in South Carolina, the program now serves more than 200 adults and 400 children annually.
HALOS works in close partnership with the local Department of Social Services. While more children are placed with relatives rather than foster care, there are very few resources to help them with the obstacles they face.
For more information about the Kinship Care Program, or how you can help, contact HALOS at 843-953-3715.

Comments: I bought these skates because my old mission protos were way to heavy and were very worn out plus they could only be used for rough outdoor surfaces and painted cement rinks.When I put on my new Bauer skates they had a good and snug fit,I never had that with my missions,also the x60's are so light,when I put them on and got up to try them in my living room I nearly fell down because of the massive weight difference!I will use these as my game skates and my missions as my practice skates.Overall I'm very happy with the x60's they look and feel great.
From: Max, American Canyon, CA
Comments: great skate. had the same pair of missions for 7+ years, and was dreading breaking in a new pair. however these skates are beyond comfortable without even being baked. i play roughly 5 times a week in different levels of play, and these skates are great for all levels. good padding, light, comfortable, good quality for price, and love the look of them.
From: Christian, San Bernadino, CA
Comments: Bought these skates for my son, who loves them. Very comfortable, fast and light. Was so impressed I bought the same pair myself!
From: Dave, Medford, MA
Comments: bought these skates after playing in tour for around 20+ years tour instep seems to have gone really high and was killing both feet causing blisters i put these on for the first time today and played 2 games back to back with no one problem, not once did they feel loose ! They felt already broke in and I haven't even baked them !
The bearings feel good and the wheels are ok for the price not the best for check stopping they can slide a little on sport court flooring,
Honestly a great skate I was a tour man but i now will look at bauer just a shame in the uk the cost is a lot higher or I would have gone for the x70 or x90 I'm guessing they are a dream to skate in if the x60 feel this good.
im a size 9 uk shoe but the size 8 bauer fits nice and snug no toe rubbing on the cap, no heel lift or lace bite
