Charles Richard John Spencer-Churchill, 9th Duke of Marlborough, KG, PC (13 November 1871 – 30 June 1934), styled Earl of Sunderland until 1883 and Marquess of Blandford between 1883 and 1892, was a British soldier and Conservative politician. He was often known as "Sunny" Marlborough after his courtesy title of Earl of Sunderland.
Background and education[edit]
Born at Simla, India, Marlborough was the only son of George Spencer-Churchill, 8th Duke of Marlborough, and Lady Albertha Frances Anne, daughter of James Hamilton, 1st Duke of Abercorn. He was a nephew of Lord Randolph Churchill and a first cousin of Winston Churchill,[1] with whom he had a close and lifelong friendship. He was educated at Winchester College and Trinity College, Cambridge.[2]
Political career[edit]
Marlborough entered the House of Lords on the early death of his father in 1892 and made his maiden speech in August 1895.[3] In 1899, he was appointed Paymaster-General by Lord Salisbury, a post he held until 1902. He was then Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies under Arthur Balfour between 1903 and 1905.[1] He was sworn in as a member of the Privy Council in 1899.[4]
He again held political office during the First World War, when he was Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries between 1917 and 1918 in David Lloyd George's coalition government.[1] He made his last speech in the House of Lords in December 1931.[3]
Marlborough was Lord High Steward at the coronation of Edward VII in 1902, Mayor of Woodstock between 1907 and 1908, and Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire between 1915 and 1934.[1] In 1902, he was made a Knight of the Garter.[5]
He was President of the National Fire Brigade′s Union.[6]
Military career[edit]
Marlborough was appointed a Lieutenant in the Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars in 1897. After the outbreak of the Second Boer War, he was in January 1900 seconded for service as a Staff Captain in the Imperial Yeomanry serving in South Africa,[7] and received the temporary rank of Captain.[8] He was subsequently appointed Assistant Military Secretary to Lord Roberts, Commander-in-Chief of the British forces in South Africa.
He was mentioned in despatches and promoted to Major on 7 December 1901.[9] Following the war, he retired from the army, but he rejoined in the First World War, when he served as a Lieutenant-Colonel on the General Staff.[1]
Personal life[edit]
Marlborough was married twice. His first wife was the American railroad heiress Consuelo Vanderbilt, whom he married at Saint Thomas Church in New York City on 6 November 1895. They had two sons, John Spencer-Churchill, Marquess of Blandford, eventually the 10th Duke of Marlborough, and Lord Ivor Spencer-Churchill. Their mother famously referred to them as "the heir and the spare". The Vanderbilt dowry was used to restore Blenheim Palace and replenish its furnishings and library, as many of the original contents had been sold over the course of the 19th century. Many of the jewels worn by subsequent Duchesses of Marlborough also date from this period.[citation needed]
The 9th Duke employed noted landscape gardener Achille Duchêne to create the water garden on the terrace at Blenheim.[10] The couple were divorced in 1921 and the marriage was annulled by the Vatican five years later.[1]
Marlborough married Gladys Deacon, also an American, on 25 June 1921 in Paris. Later in their unhappy, childless marriage, she kept a revolver in her bedroom to prevent her husband's entry.[11] The couple separated but never divorced.
The 9th Duke converted to Roman Catholicism late in life.[12]

He was played by David Markham in the BBC drama Winston Churchill: The Wilderness Years.

Lower Parel To Get A New Tea Bar
Tea-loving office-goers in Lower Parel will soon have a welcome alternative to the watered down, syrupy sweet beverage served in office canteens. In a week's time, they will be able to choose between 40 types of teas at Verandah The Cafe, a new "cha bar" inside Raghuvanshi Mills. Proprietor Vishal Manghnani, who was a partner at south Mumbai lounge Oba and Lower Parel nightclub Ra, said he was inspired to open Verandah because he wanted to start something along the lines of Churchgate's Tea Centre "when it was run by Prahlad Kakkar" [in the 1990s]. At Verandah, traditional varieties of tea like masala chai, Darjeeling, Assam and Earl Grey will be outnumbered by novelty blends from China, Taiwan, America and India. It will offer a baffling selection of herbal teas. For instance, the menu has eight varieties of jasmine tea alone. "The days of Twinings are over," said Manghnani. "Our focus is on tea variants and presentation." The variants include artisanal and hand-tied blossoming teas from China and flower-based herbal teas such as chrysanthemum, rose and apple. Manghnani will introduce customers to tea wands, which are wand-shaped aluminum foil infusers packed with tea leaves.
The coffee selection is less expansive at Verandah, where Manghnani has installed a toaster-sized Nespresso machine. It will also serve fresh fruit and veggie combination beverages like apple, carrot and celery and muesli, honey, pear, yoghurt and apple date. Scones are sadly not part of this posh tea salon furnished almost entirely in marble, sourced from Elegant Marbles, a 1,500 sq. ft. Raghuvanshi Mills store inside which the Verandah is located. The food menu of soups, salads, sandwiches and appetisers is entirely vegetarian. "I've given up eating meat and follow a diet of tea and simple vegetarian food," said Manghnani. "I wanted the Verandah menu to reflect my tastes." Fresh batches of breads, including focaccia and baguettes, and desserts like cheesecake and apple pie will be brought in every day from the Verandah's bakery and kitchen in Tardeo.
"I wanted to keep the menu really light to suit the cha bar concept," said Manghnani who fixed the menu with the help of Siddharth Badhavkar, a former chef at Aurus. "It's really the tea drinking experience that I want to promote." A few weeks into the launch, Manghnani hopes to start retailing tea in small quantities (25gms to 50gms), "to get people into the habit of experimenting with different blends". At a starting price of Rs100 for a cup of tea, and Rs110 for a shot of espresso, the Verandah is not pocket friendly, but Manghnani defends the rates by saying he imports the whole range. On the bright side, Manghnani said, "you also get a plate of petite fours" with your cup.
Verandah The Cafe is slated to open on Tuesday, March 1.

The Aggies then came back to sweep the doubleheader, which included a walk-off home run by departed senior Teresa Conrad in the final game of the weekend.

Security found a naked 21-year-old Corey John Holderbecker hiding behind a tree near the university library.
Mankato police say Holderbecker agreed to the late streak after a friend bet him $10 he wouldn't do it.
He won the bet, but was cited for misdemeanor indecent exposure.

The stated purpose of the community establishes its raison d'être. It is through the hive of activities and opportunities within the community, however, that the purpose is realized. Successful communities offer a variety of opportunities for sharing knowledge and resources, for collaborating, and for networking (Wenger et al., 2009). Busy educators appreciate opportunities for engagement that save them time or expense. Simple needs assessments enable community leaders to better target the interests and most salient needs of the group. Knowledge-sharing opportunities may be as various as informal open discussion forums and more formal collaboration, such as authorship of books or white papers. Structured conversations that center on hot topics, that are limited in duration, and that result in tangible resources, links, documents, or the like are particularly popular in online communities (Booth, 2011). Fruitful opportunities may also focus on specific problems of practice, enabling educators to benefit from the collective wisdom of the community (Duncan-Howell, 2010). Those who are developing and implementing online communities should give great consideration to building a balanced array of options for participating in the community. Although there must be multiple avenues for constructively channeling the rich array of diverse perspectives, knowledge, expertise, and experiences held by members of the community, too many options can dilute activity to such an extent that the community no longer feels active and substantive. In addition, the opportunities for engagement in community knowledge sharing should accommodate a range of participation levels. In some cases, members may want to be integrally involved in planning for or participating in knowledge-sharing opportunities, and in other cases they may prefer peripheral participation. Table 1 provides a sample of potential activities for engaging members in knowledge sharing.
Sidebar: Table 1 Potential Opportunities for Engagement in Online Communities
Planning and Implementation Guidelines
- Provide a range of opportunities for members to engage in the community. Options should include informal knowledge-sharing opportunities such as online discussion forums, as well as more formal opportunities such as webstitutes (online institutes) or other collaborative projects.
- Provide members with opportunities to participate in structured conversations that center on hot topics, that are limited in duration, and that result in tangible resources, links, documents, or the like.
- To increase the impact of members' experiences in the community, directly link knowledge-sharing opportunities to problems of practice. For example, provide opportunities for members of the community to engage in collaborative action research projects focused on a shared classroom-based or content-based challenge.
- Begin with a simple array of activity options that members' time can support and for which there is organizational capacity to support.
- Use a variety of outreach options to let members know about all the activities within the community and drive traffic to the community.
- Snapshot from the field: Using Twitter to Drive Community Traffic and Conversation
The Educator's PLN online community (http://edupln.ning.com/) is dedicated to the support of a personal learning network for educators. A unique aspect of the EduPLN community, and the most important driver of knowledge sharing according to the administrators of the community, is the pairing of the EduPLN with Edchat, an ongoing Twitter conversation. Twitter is a real-time information network in which participants can use hash tags (#) to join and participate in specific conversations. Hashtags are a Web tag that have the hash mark or pound symbol (#) preceding the tag (e.g., #edhat) and are used to help in adding tweets to a category. Twitter's Edchat is a conversation among educators, parents, students, and other stakeholders in which challenging issues facing educational systems worldwide are discussed. Participants share perspectives and opinions, provide resources, and offer experiences. Officially, it is conducted on Twitter twice each Tuesday. Two chats are offered to accommodate the global time zones. The educational topics are chosen from a poll posted each Sunday night or the chat may feature a guest speaker. The chats are scheduled for an hour, but often carry on throughout the week. Complementing the conversation, participants tweet out short links to let Edchat members know about resources, websites, podcasts, videos, or the like that are relevant to the topic being discussed. So why have a community beyond the Twitter Edchat? Twitter tweets are limited to 140 characters and Twitter conversations often tend to move along quickly, and thus the lifespan of a tweet is quite short and not everyone is able to sign on to the Edchat conversations. To address this limitation, the organizers of Edchat created an online community in which Edchat conversations could continue and deepen and resources could be archived for later access.

April is Alcohol Awareness Month. I get letters and calls almost daily about the impact of alcohol use, abuse and addiction, on individuals, marriages and families.
The impact is enormous and there are many misconceptions about the seriousness of the problems that problem drinking can cause. A huge road-block is the characteristic denial.
Denial can be recognized by a person becoming defensive about their use of alcohol, angry or attempts to blow it off, like there is nothing to it.
The behavioral problems, including high risks of impaired driving, get the most attention. But, there are physical health concerns, as well.
The director of the Medical University of South Carolina's Center for Drug and Alcohol Programs, Dr. Raymond Anton, points out some facts we should be aware of including: 1. The World Health Organization says alcohol abuse is the third-leading cause of death and disability in the world; 2. Alcohol plays a role in cancers, including mouth and throat, breast cancer, liver and pancreatic; 3. The risk of domestic violence, falls and risky behaviors increase.
It is also interesting that while small amounts of alcohol (1.5 ounces of liquor, 5 ounces of wine or 12 ounces of beer daily has been shown to reduce strokes and heart attacks — even small amounts over that do the opposite, contributing to high blood pressure and other risk factors.
Dear Liz,
My husband and I used to drink regularly, socially, at meals and with friends. But lately, I've noticed our trend is increasing, especially when there is stress with our children or each other. And then, I notice our abilities to handle things drinking or not, has diminished. My husband doesn't think there is a problem, but I'm not so sure.
Getting concerned
Dear "Getting,"
I commend you for having the awareness to recognize a problem. Your husband may be demonstrating the denial mentioned above. You are so right that there is a tendency to increase use of alcohol, and that your ability to deal with things decreases with use — even when you are not drinking. That is a sign your bodies may be developing tolerance (the physical dependence, when you need more to get the same effect) and that it is being used as a "drug of choice" when stressed.
Alcohol as a drug, is actually a depressant, and to many gives them an initial calming effect. Many people use it when anxious, to unwind. This is when use can turn into abuse.

The International Storytelling Center will not retain ownership of the $1.3 million storytelling building in downtown Jonesborough that has served as anchor of tourism for the town since its construction in 2004.
The board of governors of the nonprofit ISC organization, which emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late June, announced this week that its efforts to secure funding and negotiate an agreement with the USDA Office of Rural Development that would allow it to buy back the iconic storytelling center that prompted its bankruptcy have come up short.
"Although we have tried for many months to develop a way by which we could afford to retain the building, we have not been successful. Therefore, ISC is not in a financial position to be able to settle our debt with Rural Development-USDA and retain ownership of the center building," the board said in a written statement released to local media.
David Glasgow, state director of communications for Rural Development, said Thursday the Rural Development office in Nashville is aware that the ISC board met on June 29 to discuss its options on the building but because of the July 4 holiday has not received notice of "what action the board decided to take or not to take."
"We're waiting to here from them," Glasgow said. "The next step depends on a lot of things but at this point we don't have any official word from them and we can't do or say anything until we have that."
According to Glasgow, ISC still owns the building at this point and Rural Development has not taken any action to sell the building to initiate foreclosure proceedings.
"At this point, they still own the center at the new $1.3 million price the (bankruptcy) court set," Glasgow said. "I will say we do want to see the center be an important part of (Jonesboough) and the county and we are certainly not in any rush."
Jonesborough Mayor Kelly Wolfe, who has previously emphasized the town's concern that the building be retained for use as a storytelling venue, said Thursday Jonesborough has been working closely with Rural Development for some time and in light of the ISC's inability to purchase the facility, is developing a plan that will allow the town to purchase the building.
"We've been working closely with Rural Development to come to a purchase price and a deal by which we could acquire the property and potentially solve several problems at the same time," Wolfe said.
"We received word last Friday that ISC had voted to not seek to retain ownership of the building. Their fundraising efforts over many months did not generate enough pledges or contributions to make the purchase a reality. Now that this chapter is closed, I would like to see the town of Jonesborough make a good business decision for our taxpayers regarding the future of this facility."
According to the mayor, a proposal to be presented to the town's board of Mayor and Aldermen at their next regular meeting on Monday includes a plan to incorporate the storytelling building with town's participation in the state's Main Street program and the town's need for welcome center in the downtown district.
"We've been looking for space downtown to create a visitors' center annex or a welcome center. We need additional space for an interactive kiosk to direct visitors to our merchants and restaurants. Quite frankly we need more seating and better use of some public space around the ISC building. And I sincerely believe we need to have our Main Street coordinator's office headquartered downtown.
"We hope to bring a proposal to Monday night's meeting that will address these many issues, solve the continuing problem of storytelling and the future of that facility, and be a good deal for the taxpayers of our town," the mayor said.
Wolfe noted that Rural Development "has been a good friend to Jonesborough and to Washington County over the years" and said he believes the town will be able to negotiate a purchase price for the storytelling center that is less than the $1.3 million value of the building that was set by the bankruptcy court in March.
ISC's bankruptcy reorganization plan includes an agreement from Rural Development to give ISC 30 days notice to vacate the building if Rural Development initiates a foreclosure sale.
ISC founder and President Emeritus Jimmy Neal Smith, who for many years served as ISC's executive director, said at the time of the bankruptcy proceedings, if ISC has to vacate the storytelling center, it will move its operations to the historic Chester Inn next door to the ISC building where it has maintained its offices since the center's opening.
In its written statement to the media, the ISC board of governors said, "We would like to express our appreciation to our many friends in the community, especially Rural Development-USDA, for their patience and understanding during this difficult process."
"We shall continue to produce the National Storytelling Festival each year as well as other tourism-generating activities important to our organization, Jonesborough, and the surrounding region. Above all else, we believe the perpetuation of storytelling should be the central mission of our organization, reflecting our desire that storytelling continue to positively influence our culture and society for many generations to come."

WASHINGTON, June 14, 2010 Defense Department libraries have embarked on their first departmentwide summer reading program in hopes of encouraging military children to keep their reading skills sharp during the summer.
More than 250 base libraries soon will set off on "Voyage to Book Island," an activity-packed reading program in which children are asked to complete four to six books over the course of the summer, said Nilya Carrato, program assistant for the Navy General Library Program.
While service and installation libraries have sponsored their own programs in the past, "Voyage to Book Island" marks the first departmentwide summer reading program, Carrato noted. This consistency pools resources and enables military children who move this summer to pick up the program where they left off at their new installation, she added.
"Especially with all the movement, we want to make sure kids get as much of an advantage as everyone else," Carrato said. "Plus it's fun."
Most programs will run for eight weeks with open enrollment throughout the summer, according to a program news release. Activities will range by location and include everything from a tropical pool party to the SS Sigonella Storytime. Incentive prizes include bookmarks, T-shirts, stickers and puzzles.
Children who participate are asked to complete the books on their own or, for younger children, with the help of a parent, Carrato said. Book choice is left to the reader's discretion, she added, noting that they can read a variety of fiction and nonfiction or even the same book several times if they'd like.
Some libraries will offer an online log to track reading progress, while others will use a handwritten log. The libraries with online tracking capabilities offer an added bonus: reserve-component access, Carrato noted. No matter the distance, Reserve and Guard families can participate in the program by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com, and they'll be put in touch with a base with online program capabilities, she added.
The program is worth pursuing, Carrato emphasized, especially since reading practice is vital to young learners. Studies show that children who don't practice reading over the course of the summer may be two to three months behind at the start of the school year, she said. And this effect can be cumulative.
"By the time you leave sixth grade, you could be up to a year behind in reading," she said. "If you keep engaged, you'll be ready to move forward instead of playing catch up."
And for young children, being read to can be just as helpful as practicing reading themselves, she noted.
For installations without a library, Carrato suggested parents check with their local child and youth program or local summer camp to see if they're participating in the program.
Carrato also pointed out a few of the other programs military libraries have to offer this summer, including reading groups, story times, reading program parties, online books, downloadable audio books for car rides, online study guides for summer school attendees and access to Tutor.com, a site that offers free tutoring services 24/7 to military members and their families.

Re: Solaris, Perl 5.8 and use 5.005by mhearse (Hermit)

|Need Help??
I recently did this on Solaris 7. The best solution I found was to build Perl-stable from source. Using the gcc 3.4 package from sunfreeware.com, I had no problems. I put the new distribution in /usr/local, to avoid overwriting the stock install. I really don't like the idea of having two Perl's in the PATH. I know there is a lot of hype about breaking programs when overwriting the default install, but I don't see how. You can always place a sym link to perl in /usr/bin.

HAZARD – The Perry County Board of Education on Friday accepted a bid for more than $4 million to begin work on an athletic complex adjacent to an ongoing school construction site in Hazard.
The complex will include a football field with artificial turf that will double as a playing surface for soccer teams, along with a practice and softball field and a field house. Athletic teams from both the new East Perry Elementary School and Perry Central High School will use the facilities.
The board unanimously approved a project application form for the construction in the amount of $4.4, with alternates approved for an additional cost of $139,000, bringing the total cost of the project to just over $4.5 million. The bid for the project was awarded to D.W. Wilburn, Inc., the same company currently working on the East Perry Elementary project along Highway 80 near the Daniel Boone Shopping Center. Officials say they expect both projects to be completed by the time the 2013 school year begins.
In other business, the board approved an agreement with Primary Care Centers of Eastern Kentucky to provide a physician's assistant (PA) onsite at Perry Central High School for half a school day, two days per week during the upcoming semester.
Assistant Superintendent Johnny Wooton described the agreement as a pilot program, since it hasn't been done in the Perry County School District before. It will work by allowing students to see the PA at the school, rather than leaving school for a clinic. Wooton said there is a potential for the program to slightly improve attendance, but he views it an opportunity to provide another service to students.
"I think it's a good service just to start with to see how it's going to work," Wooton said.
Unlike a school nurse provided by the local health department, Wooton said if a student's parent carries health insurance on the child, then seeing the PA at the school will work in much the same way as if the child was seen at a clinic. There will be a copay and the insurance billed for the visit. In the event that a student is covered by Medicaid or the Kentucky Children's Health Insurance Program, known as KCHIP, there won't be any copays.
Considering that care for some students would include a cost, Wooton said there will be a need for communication between the provider and the student, but that for the time being the program could provide a valuable service, and there will be no cost to the school or district.
In the event that the program doesn't meet expectations, he added, the district has the option to end participation.
The board also voted to give approval to District Finance Officer Jody Maggard to solicit for two security systems for schools. The system will include cameras, and when installed will make eight schools in the districts where camera systems are in use.
"We're making out to where eventually we will get to all the schools," Maggard said. "So hopefully that will be something within the next three or four years we will be able to do."
The board also heard from Glen Brashear, the district's bonding agent, who presented a resolution for approval of a bond to fund the athletic complex at East Perry Elementary in the amount of $6,635,000. The board unanimously approved the first reading of that resolution.

Well if the recent debate I was just in is anything to go by some atheists here are just as closed minded as any other group with pet beliefs.
Not once did any of them even address any of the mainstream philosophical points and just resorted to pet replies and name calling.
I'm not sure how we can overcome this?

"Ah, those endless forests, and their horror-haunted gloom! For what eternities have I wandered through them, a timid, hunted creature, starting at the least sound, frightened of my own shadow, keyed-up, ever alert and vigilant, ready on the instant to dash away in mad flight for my life. For I was the prey of all manner of fierce life that dwelt in the forest, and it was in ecstasies of fear that I fled before the hunting monsters."

it'd be voight, or whatever her mom's maiden name was
no one here is meddling. at least i hope no one here is sending her letters praising or denouncing her decision. everyone is putting forth their personal opinions using her as the avatar, and agreeing or disagreeing with each other
yeah you are

It's the price you pay for being a celebrity and getting all of those advantages for no significantly useful talent. I feel exactly no sympathy for Angelina. She could choose to live a life of discretion. She chooses not to for whatever reason.What bugs me is everybody picking apart what are very personal decisions for her as if they had the right to meddle. It just seems disrespectful.
I feel more sympathy for the poor men and women with actual jobs that could not afford cancer treatment if they needed it. Or women who can't afford mammograms. I don't really feel bad for someone who lives her personal life on camera being scrutinized for a medical decision she made public.
Check out my blog. Hope to share lots of great recipes and ideas!
She didn't make it public for ego strokes. She went public in order to advocate for genetic testing to be available for everyone.
All insurance programs cover mammograms.
Not everyone has insurance to cover a mastectomy. I still know many uninsured.
At any rate, I don't care what she did and why she did, but if you don't want to be judged and/or talked about don't have a press conference. And I imagine she has a massive ego....not that it's a negative thing, but humble people rarely parade their lives quite like the Hollywood A list does. I'm sure she loves the attention and the idea that she is helping women.
Check out my blog. Hope to share lots of great recipes and ideas!

GSP's BJJ vs Fedors Sambo. Well i just look at it as overall ground game. GSP has submitted guys like Hughes and Trigg with little effort, Fedor has tapped some great guys too but nobody that compares to Trigg or Hughes p4p.
Fedor might be tougher,and have a better chin. But p4p skill wise GSP blows him away..
First of all pal, fedor can't measure up to gsp's wrestling how do you figure that? Fedors sambo is a solid and could almost measure up to gsp's wrestling but also then on top you have his judo which gives him the edge. Fedor's striking is far more powerful yes and he has proven against Arlovski that technique isn't going to win you the fight. Also since when did a superman punch or spinning back fist show good technique? I'm sure you don't even beleive that they are efficient forms of striking.
Now onto your claims on gsp's bjj being a trouble for fedor if you can remember fedor beat nogueira twice and big nog has alot more dangerous bjj than gsp. And then on top you have already admitted that fedor is tougher and has a better chin so I know who is my top p4p fighter and it will never be gsp.
Also dont red me i know people on here love gsp but please just argue your points as I will be interested in hearing them.

Drivers on Cell Phones Are as Bad as Drunks
Utah Psychologists Warn Against Cell Phone Use While Driving
June 29, 2006 -- Three years after the preliminary results first were presented at a scientific meeting and drew wide attention, University of Utah psychologists have published a study showing that motorists who talk on handheld or hands-free cellular phones are as impaired as drunken drivers.
"We found that people are as impaired when they drive and talk on a cell phone as they are when they drive intoxicated at the legal blood-alcohol limit of 0.08 percent, which is the minimum level that defines illegal drunken driving in most U.S. states, says study co-author Frank Drews, an assistant professor of psychology. If legislators really want to address driver distraction, then they should consider outlawing cell phone use while driving.
Psychology Professor David Strayer, the study's lead author, adds: Just like you put yourself and other people at risk when you drive drunk, you put yourself and others at risk when you use a cell phone and drive. The level of impairment is very similar.
Clearly the safest course of action is to not use a cell phone while driving, concludes the study by Strayer, Drews and Dennis Crouch, a research associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology. The study was set for publication June 29 in the summer 2006 issue of Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.
The study reinforced earlier research by Strayer and Drews showing that hands-free cell phones are just as distracting as handheld cell phones because the conversation itself not just manipulation of a handheld phone distracts drivers from road conditions.
Human Factors Editor Nancy J. Cooke praised the study: Although we all have our suspicions about the dangers of cell phone use while driving, human factors research on driver safety helps us move beyond mere suspicions to scientific observations of driver behavior.
The study first gained public notice after Strayer presented preliminary results in July 2003 in Park City, Utah, during the Second International Driving Symposium on Human Factors in Driver Assessment, Training and Vehicle Design. It took until now for the study to be completed, undergo review by other researchers and finally be published.
Key Findings: Different Driving Styles, Similar Impairment
Each of the study"s 40 participants drove a PatrolSim driving simulator four times: once each while undistracted, using a handheld cell phone, using a hands-free cell phone and while intoxicated to the 0.08 percent blood-alcohol level after drinking vodka and orange juice. Participants followed a simulated pace car that braked intermittently.
Both handheld and hands-free cell phones impaired driving, with no significant difference in the degree of impairment. That calls into question driving regulations that prohibited handheld cell phones and permit hands-free cell phones, the researchers write.
The study found that compared with undistracted drivers:
Impairments associated with using a cell phone while driving can be as profound as those associated with driving while drunk, they conclude.
Are Drunken Drivers Really Less Accident-Prone than Cell Phone Users?
Drews says the lack of accidents among the studys drunken drivers was surprising. He and Strayer speculate that because simulated drives were conducted during mornings, participants who got drunk were well-rested and in the up phase of intoxication. In reality, 80 percent of all fatal alcohol-related accidents occur between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. when drunken drivers tend to be fatigued. Average blood-alcohol levels in those accidents are twice 0.08 percent. Forty percent of the roughly 42,000 annual U.S. traffic fatalities involve alcohol.
While none of the studys intoxicated drivers crashed, their hard, late braking is predictive of increased accident rates over the long run, the researchers wrote.
One statistical analysis of the new and previous Utah studies showed cell phone users were 5.36 times more likely to get in an accident than undistracted drivers. Other studies have shown the risk is about the same as for drivers with a 0.08 blood-alcohol level.
Strayer says he expects criticism suggesting that we are trivializing drunken-driving impairment, but it is anything but the case. We don't think people should drive while drunk, nor should they talk on their cell phone while driving.
Drews says he and Strayer compared the impairment of motorists using cell phones to drivers with a 0.08 percent blood-alcohol level because they wanted to determine if the risk of driving while phoning was comparable to the drunken driving risk considered unacceptable.
This study does not mean people should start driving drunk, says Drews. It means that driving while talking on a cell phone is as bad as or maybe worse than driving drunk, which is completely unacceptable and cannot be tolerated by society.
University of Utah Cell Phone Research
Previous research by Strayer, Drews and colleagues include:
The University of Utah psychologists conducted the alcohol study because a 1997 study by other researchers evaluated the cell phone records of 699 people involved in motor vehicle accidents and found one-fourth of them had used their phone in the 10 minutes before their accident a four-fold increase in accidents compared with undistracted motorists.
Those researchers speculated there was a comparable risk from drunken driving and cell phone use while driving. So Strayer and Drews conducted a controlled laboratory study.
The study included 25 men and 15 women ages 22 to 34 who were social drinkers (three to five drinks per week) recruited via newspaper advertisements. Two-thirds used a cell phone while driving. Each participant was paid $100 for 10 hours in the study.
The driving simulator has a steering wheel, dashboard instruments and brake and gas pedals from a Ford Crown Victoria sedan. The driver is surrounded by three screens showing freeway scenes. Each simulated daylight freeway drive lasted 15 minutes. The pace car intermittently braked to mimic stop-and-go traffic. Drivers who fail to hit their brakes eventually rear-end the pace car. Other simulated vehicles occasionally passed in the left lane, giving the impression of steady traffic flow.
Each study participant drove the simulator during three sessions undistracted, drunk or talking to a research assistant on a cell phone each on a different day.
The simulator recorded driving speed, following distance, braking time and how long it would take to collide with the pace car if brakes were not used.
The study was funded by a $25,000 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration which is interested in impaired attention among pilots and by Strayers and Drews salaries. The Utah Highway Patrol loaned the researchers a device to measure blood-alcohol levels.
Driving while Distracted: A Growing Problem
The researchers cited figures from the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association indicating that more than 100 million U.S. motorists use cell phones while driving. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration estimates that at any given moment during daylight hours, 8 percent of all drivers are talking on a cell phone.
Fortunately, the percentage of drunk drivers at any time is much lower, Drews says. So it means the risk of talking on a cell phone and driving is probably much higher than driving intoxicated because more people are talking on cell phones while driving than are driving drunk. The main reason there are not more accidents is that 92 percent of drivers are not on a cell phone and are compensating for drivers on cell phones, he adds.
Cell phone use is far from the only distraction for motorists. The researchers cite talking to passengers, eating, drinking, lighting cigarettes, applying makeup and listening to the radio as the old standards of driver distraction.
However, over the last decade many new electronic devices have been developed, and they are making their way into the vehicle, the researchers write. Drivers can now surf the Internet, send and receive e-mail or faxes, communicate via a cellular device and even watch television. There is good reason to believe that some of these new multitasking activities may be substantially more distracting than the old standards because they are more cognitively engaging and because they are performed over longer periods of time.

This place is a great. Really. It is self serve buffet style, which I love having so many choices. And the Latin food is great. I find it a combination of Puerto Rican and Dominican which are both so great. Anyway, For lunch is is by the pound or $14.05 for all you can eat. I choose the by the pound and the price with a soda was really good. The host (owner/manager) He was so charming, loved the way he worked the lunch crowd to talk to people as he helped with the seating. I plan on going back for the happy hour they have. Seems like it will be a great place to eat dance and who knows meet some nice latin men! I wish the "tourists" knew about this place, They would love it. Tourists you have to go on the side streets for the best places. Get off the tourist trapped rows.

Memphis police getting close to break in Burks shooting case
Teen charged as accessory after fact
As a stream of Tigers and Grizzlies stopped at his bedside over the past few days, Antonio Burks has had one thing on his mind:
Chicken tenders.
The former basketball player for the Memphis Tigers and Memphis Grizzlies was shot between his abdomen and upper leg during a robbery July 20, but he has been "up and talking" the last couple of days, said his mentor, Ken Bennett.
And as he has emerged from sedation, his appetite has also returned. But with his wound, Burks, 29, has been limited to Jell-O and the like.
"I was with him this morning and he said, 'I want to go back to sleep.' I said, 'Are you tired?' He said, 'No, if I'm awake, I'm thinking about food,'" said Bennett, founder of the Streets Ministries group. "He's a chicken-tender fanatic."
As Burks remains in serious condition in the intensive-care unit at the Regional Medical Center at Memphis, police are making headway in the case.
Monday afternoon, police announced that a 16-year-old boy had been charged as an "accessory after the fact."
Police hope this will lead to further breaks in the case, which began when three armed robbers surprised a group of men in the backyard of a vacant house at 353 Laclede in South Memphis.
In addition to Burks, Vincent Williams, 44, was also shot, but has since been released from The Med.
Investigators with the department's Robbery Bureau spent the weekend tracking down people with information about the case, Deputy Chief Joe Scott said.
"They feel like they're making progress. We're hopeful we're going to get where we need to get," said Scott, adding, "We're getting a lot of tips. The community's been very helpful."
Bennett said the bullet chipped Burks' pelvis and put a pair of holes in his bladder. He said doctors will have to do a skin graft on Burks' leg to cover the wound.
Chris Burks, who was also at that fateful dice game that day, said his brother is showing improvement after four surgeries.
"He's talking like he's back to his normal self," he said.
Burks, a Booker T. Washington High graduate, led Memphis to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2003-04. He averaged 16 points and 5.5 assists in 2003-04 and was named Conference USA Player of the Year.
The point guard played two seasons for the Grizzlies, averaging 2.3 points and 1.3 assists.
Since news spread of the attack, numerous Tigers, past and present, have stopped in to visit, Bennett said.
Former Tiger coach John Calipari flew in last week and spent about an hour with Burks, Bennett said.
Current coach Josh Pastner came the night of the shooting, Bennett added, followed later by former Tigers Penny Hardaway and Andre Turner. Memphis Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace has also been to visit.

Tenancies and deployment scopes for SharePoint Add-ins
Learn about the concept of tenancies and the differences between deploying apps for SharePoint at tenant scope and web scope.
Last modified: June 16, 2015
Applies to: apps for SharePoint | Office 365 | SharePoint Add-ins | SharePoint Foundation 2013 | SharePoint Server 2013
The name "apps for SharePoint" is changing to "SharePoint Add-ins". During the transition, the documentation and the UI of some SharePoint products and Visual Studio tools might still use the term "apps for SharePoint". For details, see New name for apps for Office and SharePoint.
In this article
Tenancies and app scope
Limitations of tenant-scoped apps
How to install, uninstall, and update an app on multiple websites in a tenancy
Additional resources
A SharePoint 2013 tenancy is a set of site collections in either a SharePoint farm or in SharePoint Online. In SharePoint Online, the site collections belong to a single customer account. In a SharePoint farm, the site collections can be all the site collections in a SharePoint web application or a subset of them, or it can be a set of site collections from across multiple web applications in the farm. A tenancy can have an app for SharePoint app catalog just as a SharePoint web application can.
An app for SharePoint has an app scope. The two possible app scopes are web scope or tenant scope. The difference is not an intrinsic property of the app, and you, the developer, do not decide what the scope of your app is. The decision is made by tenant administrators as a side effect of how the app is installed. After an app is uploaded to the app catalog of a tenancy, it is immediately available to be installed on websites within the tenancy on a website-by-website basis. Apps that are installed this way have web scope. Tenant administrators have another option, however. They can choose to batch install the app to a subset of websites within the tenancy. Apps that are installed in this way have tenant scope. The tenant admin can specify which websites the app is installed to by means of a list of managed paths, a list of site templates, or a list of site collections. An app that has been batch-installed can only be uninstalled by a tenant administrator. When the tenant admin uninstalls the app, it is uninstalled from every website in the tenancy. Users can't uninstall a batch-installed app on a website-by-website basis. The same principle applies to updating a batch-installed app: only a tenant administrator can do it, and it is batch-updated on every website in the tenancy where it is installed.
If an app that includes an app web is batch-installed, only one app web is created and it is shared by all the host websites on which the app is installed. The app web is located in the site collection of the organization's app catalog.
When new site collections are created in the tenancy, apps that were previously batch-installed are automatically installed on the new site collection.
App scope should not be confused with Feature scope. Feature scope determines where the elements in a Feature are deployed. The possibilities include Farm, WebApplication, Site (that is, site collection), and Web. Only Web is permitted for Features in apps for SharePoint (both host web Features and Features inside a .wsp in an app package).
App scope should also not be confused with app permission levels. Apps for SharePoint can request permissions to all or selected parts of SharePoint content at the levels of list, web, site collection, and tenancy. Installing an app with tenant scope does not give it permissions that it would not otherwise have, nor does it cancel key provisions of the SharePoint security model. For more information about app permissions, see Add-in permissions in SharePoint 2013.
The following kinds of apps cannot be batch-installed:
Apps that contain a custom action for the ribbon. (Custom actions that are deployed as menu items are allowed.)
Apps that contain an app part.
In addition, note again that installation with tenant scope is not possible in the Office 365 Small Business Premium version of SharePoint Online.
Regardless of whether an app is installed from the Office Store or from an app catalog, tenant admins can install it to multiple websites in a tenancy, uninstall it, and update it by using the following procedures.
To install an app for SharePoint to multiple websites
Navigate to the Site Contents page of the corporate catalog website.
Select Add an app and install the app just as you would on any other SharePoint website.
After the app is installed, hover over the link to the app in the Site Contents page. A "..." link appears.
Select the link, and a callout appears.
Select Deployment on the menu.
Use the deployment UI that opens to specify the site collections to which you want the app installed. You can filter by managed paths, site templates, or URLs. The filters have a logical "OR" relationship: the app is installed to the union of all the site collections that pass any one or more of the filters.
Select OK.
To uninstall a batch-installed app for SharePoint
Navigate to the Site Contents page of the corporate catalog website.
Hover over the link to the app in the Site Contents page. A "..." link appears.
Select the link, and a callout appears.
Select Remove on the callout.
To update a batch-installed app for SharePoint
Navigate to the Site Contents page of the corporate catalog website. If there is an update available for an app, a message appears beside the app. There will be a link to update the app.
Click the link to update the app.
When you are prompted to approve the permission requests of the app, choose Trust It.

If you absolutely, positively need a well-fitting pair of black slacks by tomorrow morning, snarfing's not your thing. Snarfing is not about finding a specific thing you need, now (although sometimes that happens). It is about looking around to see what is out there.
It's also not for everyone. I will never forget the look of absolute horror on my stepmother's face the one time I took her to the Macy's clearance outlet, which occupied an entire city block in San Leandro. Confronted with racks and racks of mixed up sizes and fabrics – to me, a treasure trove of possibility where I could happily spend hours – she froze.
What makes someone a good snarfer?
- Defined taste – whatever your taste is, you know it when you see it
- Decisiveness – when you see it, you can snarf it – you don't need to bring three friends back for a consult
- Patience (lines in discount stores can be long)
- Imagination ("This vase would make a cool toothbrush holder")
- A can-do attitude (even the ability to sew a button back on or mend a simple tear will widen your universe of snarfing possibilities)
- Flexibility – when you find something swell on Craigslist, it's best to cancel your evening plans and pick it up right away
Are you a snarfer? What makes you good at it?

RadLab Q&A
You have questions, we have answers! We wanted to take a moment to address some of the most common questions we've been getting about RadLab. Because most of the answers are a bit technical, and not exactly full of edge of your seat, nail biting excitement we've thrown in some adorable baby animals for your enjoyment.
Can I use my actions in RadLab? What are Stylets?
Stylets are a completely new format for expressing an image transformation. They're not a preset, nor an action. We've designed them to be capable of the same things our actions can do, but in a more streamlined, flexible way. Even though 50 of RadLab's Stylets are converted from our Photoshop actions, they are completely different things. RadLab actually doesn't know or care what actions you have installed, and wouldn't know what to do with your actions anyway.
Where's Pro Retouch? How about Yin / Yang? Can I make localized adjustments?
Localized adjustments are coming in a future version, and is a very high priority on our list of features to add. Actions like Pro Retouch, Yin / Yang and Big Blue will eventually have similar tools available in RadLab. In version 1.0, RadLab's interface is limited to global, "whole image" adjustments, though you can still create a new layer and use masking to remove the effect from certain areas of the image in Photoshop.
Can you open multiple images in RadLab at the same time? Can I apply a recipe to multiple photos at once?
Though RadLab can only deal with one image at a time, it's very easy to save a recipe and apply it with one click to the next photo you're working on. You can also make an action that uses RadLab, and run images through a batch with that action in Photoshop. There's a short video telling you how to use RadLab in an action here.
I want to use actions from (insert other action company) in RadLab! How can I do that?
If there are particular effects or features you'd like to see, please drop a line and let us know! We plan on producing several new Stylet packs for RadLab in the future, and we're always interested in hearing what our users want to see.
What about textures from Dirty Pictures?
We plan on giving RadLab the ability to apply textures, borders, and other "static" artwork in the future. We don't have a firm time frame at the moment, but our goal is to have RadLab replace Dirty Pictures for all your texturing needs. It's faster, more robust, and doesn't require CS3, so it'll be a huge improvement over the current Dirty Pictures interface. Stay tuned.
